Verdict with Ted Cruz - Fake Autism Centers in Fraudesota, Elon Musk's Warning & Will we See Jail Time for High Lvl Officials Week In Review

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.420 Welcome, it is Verdict with Ted Cruz,

00:00:07.640 Weekend Review, Ben Ferguson with you,

00:00:09.640 and these are the stories that you may have missed

00:00:11.300 that we talked about this week.

00:00:12.920 It all deals with fraud in Minnesota.

00:00:15.480 First up, Nick Shirley goes to the autism centers

00:00:18.560 to expose the massive fraud

00:00:21.420 at these daycare centers as well.

00:00:23.620 What does this mean?

00:00:24.560 We'll explain it all to you.

00:00:26.300 Also, when Elon Musk was in charge of Doge,

00:00:29.400 he had a major warning

00:00:30.700 that this is exactly what we are going to find.

00:00:33.740 He talked about it in an interview with the center and I,

00:00:36.200 and we're going to play it back for you.

00:00:38.020 And finally, the big question everyone's asking,

00:00:41.680 will people actually be arrested?

00:00:44.240 Go to prison.

00:00:45.740 It's the Weekend Review, and it starts right now.

00:00:48.980 I'm not crazy to say this,

00:00:50.800 and if you disagree with me, please tell me why.

00:00:53.340 If you are a person that is in a position of power

00:00:57.280 as an elected official,

00:00:58.700 you see this video,

00:01:00.580 wouldn't the first thing you would do

00:01:02.140 would get together with your staff,

00:01:03.480 then we'd get together with law enforcement,

00:01:04.940 then immediately send out teams,

00:01:06.540 like Monday morning,

00:01:08.140 to go to all these places

00:01:09.760 and investigate immediately?

00:01:11.600 They don't want to shut them down.

00:01:13.240 They want to cover it up.

00:01:14.860 They want to say,

00:01:15.440 no, no, it wasn't us, wasn't us.

00:01:16.860 We're not responsible.

00:01:18.880 And this is,

00:01:20.020 the scale,

00:01:21.380 it is so brazen,

00:01:22.620 they can't deny it.

00:01:23.500 And by the way,

00:01:24.900 all right,

00:01:25.280 to all the corporate reporters

00:01:26.540 who've done no journalism for years

00:01:28.340 except attacking Donald Trump

00:01:29.780 for everything he says and does,

00:01:32.240 here's the next place the story's going.

00:01:34.160 Here's where the puck is going.

00:01:35.960 Yeah.

00:01:36.160 How much of that money

00:01:38.040 has gone directly

00:01:39.260 into the campaign coffers

00:01:40.620 of the elected Democrats?

00:01:41.760 How much has Tim Walz made?

00:01:42.480 It's a great point.

00:01:43.500 How much of the U.S. senators made?

00:01:45.020 How much of the members of the House made?

00:01:47.500 How much has the mayor made?

00:01:48.600 How much has the city council made?

00:01:50.360 How many millions of dollars

00:01:52.040 were they buying political protection

00:01:54.100 in order to enable them

00:01:55.620 to steal billions?

00:01:57.780 All right,

00:01:58.020 I want to play one more segment.

00:01:59.840 Yep, one more thing.

00:02:00.580 This is a segment

00:02:01.920 where Nick Shirley tries to go

00:02:05.420 to another daycare center.

00:02:07.200 Woman answers the door. 1.00

00:02:08.540 He asks if he can sign up his son, Joey.

00:02:11.500 She says,

00:02:12.000 no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:02:13.800 We don't take children here. 0.77

00:02:15.820 And then he says,

00:02:16.760 all right,

00:02:17.060 let's branch out.

00:02:18.760 We've struck out

00:02:19.660 at every daycare center,

00:02:20.700 and these are all

00:02:21.420 within a couple blocks of each other,

00:02:22.840 all of these fake storefronts.

00:02:24.700 He said,

00:02:25.060 let's go to an autism center.

00:02:27.420 And we've seen an explosion

00:02:29.260 of autism centers,

00:02:30.580 and I want you to watch

00:02:31.880 and listen to what happens

00:02:32.900 when he goes to an autism center

00:02:34.760 that once again

00:02:35.800 is being paid millions of dollars

00:02:37.200 by the taxpayers of Minnesota.

00:02:39.320 Give a listen,

00:02:39.900 give a watch.

00:02:40.980 Little Joey would not be accepted

00:02:42.480 to that daycare.

00:02:43.280 Joey's still homeless.

00:02:44.460 Joey's still looking for daycare.

00:02:46.320 And because little Joey

00:02:47.420 couldn't get into a daycare,

00:02:48.900 we went to an autism center

00:02:50.640 as they have been popping up everywhere

00:02:52.920 as a rise of autism

00:02:54.120 has occurred here in Minnesota

00:02:55.600 because of the government funds

00:02:57.660 that they're receiving.

00:02:58.680 I tried to check my son,

00:02:59.920 Joey into an autism center.

00:03:01.800 We've been going to a lot

00:03:02.380 of these daycare centers.

00:03:03.220 We're trying to find a spot

00:03:03.940 for our little boy, Joey,

00:03:05.500 but we thought maybe

00:03:07.200 we could check him

00:03:07.660 in the autism center

00:03:08.380 because now the daycare centers

00:03:10.280 are open.

00:03:10.940 Yeah, and how many kids

00:03:11.800 do you guys have

00:03:12.200 at this autism center?

00:03:13.000 I can't give you a number of them.

00:03:20.460 Like more than five?

00:03:22.340 Probably.

00:03:23.280 Probably, so you don't really know?

00:03:24.560 Yeah.

00:03:25.720 What do you guys think

00:03:26.460 about like the fraud

00:03:27.000 that's been labeled

00:03:27.580 on the autism centers here?

00:03:28.840 What do you guys do think

00:03:29.940 about the fraud

00:03:30.500 or how come the autism centers

00:03:32.040 are popping up?

00:03:34.000 I can't actually know.

00:03:34.800 What news?

00:03:35.320 Are you a news reporter?

00:03:36.420 My name's Nick.

00:03:37.140 We're doing a little documentary

00:03:37.900 trying to find little Joey

00:03:38.880 a spot to put himself

00:03:40.260 in one of these centers here

00:03:41.440 because there's...

00:03:42.160 So why are you asking us

00:03:43.180 about like...

00:03:44.220 The fraud?

00:03:45.160 Yeah, because we want

00:03:45.880 to make sure we're going

00:03:46.360 to legit business

00:03:47.200 if we're going to bring

00:03:47.820 our little boy Joey here.

00:03:50.320 This is not a Joey spot.

00:03:52.640 But that's our number

00:03:53.720 on your Apple book.

00:03:54.960 But this is our...

00:03:56.000 We can't let you guys see.

00:03:57.640 Okay.

00:03:59.500 Thank you.

00:04:00.400 So once again,

00:04:01.200 little Joey,

00:04:02.000 he can't even go to daycare

00:04:03.220 and now they won't even

00:04:03.880 accept him if he has autism.

00:04:05.980 And again, no kids.

00:04:07.140 Couldn't tell you

00:04:07.580 how many kids they serve.

00:04:09.300 After being able

00:04:10.160 to provide no evidence

00:04:11.440 of them actually being

00:04:12.520 an autism center

00:04:13.380 in a place where

00:04:14.140 a child could go,

00:04:15.300 they shut the door

00:04:16.340 and we headed

00:04:16.780 to the next fraudulent

00:04:18.500 daycare center

00:04:19.360 that was just

00:04:20.120 around the corner.

00:04:21.420 We're on to the next location.

00:04:22.800 We're still trying

00:04:23.320 to find little Joey

00:04:24.080 a place to go

00:04:24.780 to get some daycare.

00:04:25.800 So where we're going now

00:04:27.080 is a place called

00:04:28.400 Super Kids Daycare Center.

00:04:30.520 Interestingly,

00:04:32.060 this daycare center

00:04:33.900 was shut down

00:04:35.020 when it was called

00:04:35.800 Creative Minds Daycare

00:04:37.240 and it had received

00:04:39.120 $2.45 million

00:04:40.960 this fiscal year,

00:04:44.260 2025.

00:04:45.300 They had this shut down

00:04:46.560 because there were

00:04:47.180 so many violations

00:04:48.240 and they went

00:04:49.660 and they just reopened

00:04:50.780 under a new license

00:04:51.680 and they renamed

00:04:52.900 the center

00:04:53.360 Super Kids Daycare Center,

00:04:55.220 LLC.

00:04:55.960 So they got shut down

00:04:56.860 and started on the other one.

00:04:58.520 Literally the next day.

00:05:00.340 Creative Minds Daycare,

00:05:01.540 $2.45 million

00:05:03.560 got sent to this

00:05:04.700 daycare center.

00:05:06.060 We have

00:05:06.740 empty parking lot.

00:05:09.220 We do have a bus here.

00:05:10.280 This is different.

00:05:11.040 We'll see if we see anybody.

00:05:12.340 I knocked on the door.

00:05:13.560 Absolutely nobody

00:05:14.500 was inside

00:05:15.260 and once again,

00:05:16.160 no children

00:05:16.840 could be heard anywhere.

00:05:18.360 So David,

00:05:19.080 once again,

00:05:19.680 another child

00:05:20.980 daycare center.

00:05:22.340 We have a bus

00:05:23.000 out here.

00:05:24.200 No one's inside.

00:05:25.960 Licensed for over

00:05:26.920 50 kids,

00:05:27.980 no children anywhere,

00:05:29.580 but yet millions

00:05:31.140 of dollars

00:05:32.160 every single year.

00:05:34.760 So the sign says

00:05:36.260 Creative Minds Daycare.

00:05:37.800 They got in so much trouble.

00:05:39.720 They had so many violations

00:05:40.880 that they had to shut down

00:05:43.120 and they reopened

00:05:44.060 the next day

00:05:44.840 under Super Kids Daycare Center.

00:05:47.560 You see 3801 Portland,

00:05:50.400 3801 Portland,

00:05:51.960 which is where we are.

00:05:53.720 So that's fraud

00:05:54.380 right there alone.

00:05:55.140 Millions and millions

00:05:57.320 of dollars

00:05:57.740 and again,

00:05:58.700 the kids are missing.

00:05:59.600 Where are the kids?

00:06:00.220 You'd think if they had

00:06:01.100 the same address

00:06:01.920 that whoever's inside

00:06:03.200 or working at the Capitol

00:06:04.320 here inside of Minnesota

00:06:05.980 would just say,

00:06:06.760 oh, maybe that's a red flag.

00:06:09.660 They just write the check.

00:06:11.260 Human Services,

00:06:12.300 they got to clean out

00:06:13.200 the whole bunch.

00:06:14.380 They're the ones

00:06:15.060 who enabled this fraud.

00:06:16.340 How can you not look

00:06:17.360 and say,

00:06:18.360 wait a minute,

00:06:19.000 these two are registered

00:06:20.020 at the same address?

00:06:21.280 On top of all

00:06:22.340 of the child care centers,

00:06:23.720 that's just only

00:06:24.440 a small piece of the fraud.

00:06:25.900 What other fraud

00:06:26.520 are they committing

00:06:26.980 here in Minnesota?

00:06:28.040 So another major piece

00:06:29.880 of the fraud

00:06:30.520 is the home health care industry.

00:06:34.340 Where we're going now

00:06:35.760 is a building

00:06:36.960 that has 14 Somali-owned

00:06:40.480 home health care companies

00:06:41.880 in the same building.

00:06:44.080 14 of the same health care companies

00:06:46.060 in one building.

00:06:47.320 14 home health care companies

00:06:48.920 with different names

00:06:49.660 in the same building.

00:06:50.580 How bad has Tim Waltz

00:06:52.120 managed the budget here

00:06:53.420 inside of Minnesota?

00:06:54.620 So the last biennium,

00:06:56.940 we had an $18 billion surplus.

00:07:00.800 This biennium,

00:07:02.100 we have a $6 billion deficit.

00:07:05.880 That's a $24 billion swing

00:07:08.600 in one biennium.

00:07:11.160 How in the world

00:07:12.200 can you burn through

00:07:13.000 $24 billion in two years?

00:07:15.440 This is how right here.

00:07:17.160 This is a huge part of it.

00:07:18.720 And so would you say

00:07:19.680 a lot of that is fraud

00:07:20.580 that's taking place

00:07:21.200 here in Minnesota?

00:07:22.040 Absolutely.

00:07:22.660 I would say

00:07:23.300 better than 90% of it

00:07:26.380 is absolute outright fraud.

00:07:28.420 And a large percentage

00:07:29.300 of this fraud

00:07:30.220 is from these health care companies

00:07:32.280 that are charging the state

00:07:33.600 millions of dollars

00:07:35.240 while they actually

00:07:36.100 aren't providing anything.

00:07:38.200 In fact,

00:07:38.700 the FBI just did a raid

00:07:40.020 a few days ago

00:07:40.960 on a building

00:07:41.560 similar to the one

00:07:42.520 we are about to enter.

00:07:43.720 Inside of this building,

00:07:44.880 there were 14

00:07:45.560 of nearly the exact same businesses

00:07:47.620 offering the exact same services.

00:07:49.960 Right here,

00:07:50.540 you have a list

00:07:51.020 of all of the health care companies.

00:07:54.880 Loads of them right here.

00:07:56.360 We want health care.

00:07:57.640 No, thank you.

00:07:58.500 Yes, we'd like to speak

00:07:59.560 about getting health care here.

00:08:00.660 No, no, no.

00:08:01.400 Why can't I get health care here?

00:08:02.920 No, no.

00:08:03.300 So I get, wait, wait.

00:08:04.300 Warning, 0.68

00:08:04.860 you are under video surveillance.

00:08:06.520 No trespassing,

00:08:07.560 security armed.

00:08:08.520 This is the strangest

00:08:13.300 place I've ever been

00:08:15.520 to get health care.

00:08:17.440 Just a bunch

00:08:18.860 of different places.

00:08:21.260 Health care here,

00:08:22.380 health care right here,

00:08:23.860 another health care company

00:08:26.620 right here.

00:08:27.360 There are three health care companies

00:08:29.420 inside of this building

00:08:31.020 right here

00:08:31.480 in this room of 7C.

00:08:33.800 Now we have another

00:08:34.900 helping hands,

00:08:35.900 Home Care LLC,

00:08:37.800 another health care company.

00:08:39.400 Present Help right here.

00:08:41.000 We're looking for the best rates

00:08:42.120 of health care here

00:08:42.940 inside this building

00:08:43.640 because we have so many options.

00:08:45.000 Who can we talk about

00:08:45.700 getting the best health care?

00:08:46.820 I don't know.

00:08:48.400 No?

00:08:48.700 Sorry.

00:08:49.760 All right.

00:08:50.780 We will not get

00:08:51.740 any health care here.

00:08:53.160 David,

00:08:53.460 this is one of the

00:08:54.000 strangest places

00:08:54.700 I've ever been.

00:08:56.920 Literally,

00:08:57.660 health care every door

00:08:58.420 you go to,

00:08:59.560 yet nobody will give you a rate.

00:09:01.080 How much money

00:09:01.680 do you think

00:09:01.900 has been funneled

00:09:02.440 through this building?

00:09:04.080 Every year,

00:09:04.600 I would say

00:09:05.860 $50 to $60 million

00:09:07.500 at least.

00:09:08.480 And finally,

00:09:09.220 we were accepted

00:09:09.780 into one of the

00:09:10.580 daycare centers

00:09:11.200 and they actually

00:09:11.920 took down information

00:09:12.880 to give us a rate.

00:09:14.420 However,

00:09:14.900 when we left,

00:09:15.640 we were then met

00:09:16.320 with the police.

00:09:17.440 I received a complaint

00:09:18.840 that,

00:09:20.120 don't mention your description,

00:09:21.340 we're in this building

00:09:22.040 harassing the individuals

00:09:23.360 who stayed here.

00:09:25.180 Oh,

00:09:25.360 we're just seeing,

00:09:25.960 we're checking out

00:09:26.380 the rates for health care

00:09:27.080 because there's 14

00:09:28.680 health care companies

00:09:29.300 inside this building,

00:09:30.100 so.

00:09:30.640 Okay.

00:09:30.860 That's not what he said.

00:09:32.000 He said there's 14

00:09:32.880 companies here

00:09:33.860 and he's trying

00:09:34.600 to assume

00:09:35.000 because there's

00:09:35.460 Somali providers

00:09:36.360 that everyone here

00:09:36.960 is fraudulent.

00:09:38.160 He's here with

00:09:38.820 some kind of like

00:09:39.420 propaganda.

00:09:40.440 No,

00:09:40.660 we're just checking.

00:09:41.340 This is,

00:09:42.080 this is a,

00:09:43.120 um,

00:09:44.640 area that we're

00:09:45.460 allowed to enforce

00:09:46.260 trespassing ordinance.

00:09:47.240 Is there any other

00:09:47.820 reason that you guys

00:09:48.440 are here?

00:09:49.120 Well,

00:09:49.360 we're checking rates.

00:09:50.780 No,

00:09:51.120 he's not.

00:09:51.800 We're checking rates.

00:09:52.600 We asked for rates.

00:09:53.320 No,

00:09:53.520 you're not.

00:09:54.220 Okay.

00:09:55.120 I'm going to have,

00:09:55.620 if you guys are all good,

00:09:56.380 we're going to step outside

00:09:57.200 and we can continue

00:09:57.840 to have a deal.

00:09:58.380 All right,

00:09:58.720 let's leave.

00:09:59.260 So,

00:09:59.700 all right,

00:09:59.960 we're getting escorted out

00:10:03.860 checking out the rates,

00:10:04.640 seeing what was happening

00:10:05.280 inside of this building.

00:10:06.320 No one would really speak

00:10:07.060 with us.

00:10:07.340 We did go inside

00:10:07.940 the one daycare center

00:10:08.780 and she actually did

00:10:09.880 give us rates for child care.

00:10:11.640 Much respect to that lady.

00:10:12.760 What's the problem,

00:10:13.460 officer?

00:10:14.380 Well,

00:10:14.760 so again,

00:10:15.300 we're,

00:10:15.540 we've been getting reports

00:10:16.580 from,

00:10:17.280 you know,

00:10:17.600 multiple individuals

00:10:18.360 that you guys were

00:10:19.180 harassing individuals

00:10:20.420 who work here.

00:10:22.240 At the end of the day,

00:10:23.240 this is private property

00:10:24.160 and it's one that

00:10:25.500 people are allowed

00:10:26.660 to ask you to leave

00:10:27.320 and it's also

00:10:27.720 when the Minneapolis

00:10:28.200 Police Department

00:10:28.860 is allowed to enforce

00:10:29.760 trespassing ordinance

00:10:30.580 at this address.

00:10:32.200 Yeah.

00:10:32.460 So,

00:10:32.660 as we got escorted

00:10:33.980 out of this building,

00:10:35.080 the Somalis filmed us

00:10:36.200 as we left

00:10:36.940 and we headed over

00:10:37.680 to the next building.

00:10:39.620 Senator,

00:10:40.200 I would encourage

00:10:41.020 everybody to go watch.

00:10:42.100 There's another

00:10:42.580 20,

00:10:43.520 10 minutes of this video

00:10:44.520 and we'll put it up

00:10:45.300 on social media.

00:10:46.280 But it is truly impressive

00:10:48.080 to watch the Somalis there

00:10:49.860 use the police

00:10:51.340 to kick someone

00:10:52.400 out of their building

00:10:53.500 who is exposing

00:10:54.480 their fraud

00:10:55.080 by just asking

00:10:56.100 for rates.

00:10:57.400 You're talking,

00:10:58.100 he said,

00:10:58.680 60,

00:10:59.040 70,

00:10:59.300 80 million

00:10:59.820 running through

00:11:00.380 that building

00:11:00.940 every single year.

00:11:02.660 with no one

00:11:03.700 offering anything

00:11:04.980 and yet the police

00:11:06.180 show up

00:11:06.660 not to arrest

00:11:08.400 these people

00:11:09.500 that are just

00:11:10.180 lynching our tax dollars

00:11:12.280 to the American people

00:11:13.340 but instead

00:11:14.420 when a 22,

00:11:16.420 23-year-old YouTuber

00:11:17.480 who's a hero

00:11:18.800 is the guy

00:11:19.920 they're harassing.

00:11:20.760 So Nick Shirley

00:11:22.920 in one afternoon

00:11:23.880 he uncovered

00:11:24.640 110 million dollars

00:11:26.580 of fraud

00:11:27.040 and in fact

00:11:27.580 during the video

00:11:28.200 he has a running tally

00:11:29.200 of the fraud

00:11:29.840 each place

00:11:30.840 that he uncovers.

00:11:33.000 The reason at the end

00:11:34.600 it speaks volumes

00:11:35.560 that the police

00:11:36.260 showed up

00:11:36.840 and forced them

00:11:38.180 to leave

00:11:38.720 not because

00:11:39.520 they were investigating

00:11:40.540 fraud

00:11:41.080 that the people

00:11:42.040 in that building

00:11:42.760 were obviously

00:11:44.340 robbing

00:11:45.100 the Minnesota taxpayers.

00:11:46.900 Now listen,

00:11:47.620 I don't fault

00:11:48.400 that police officer.

00:11:49.860 He's doing his job.

00:11:51.360 The problem is

00:11:52.520 his job is decided

00:11:53.760 by the mayor

00:11:54.420 of Minneapolis

00:11:55.020 and the city council

00:11:56.240 of Minneapolis

00:11:56.800 and they are all

00:11:57.680 corrupt Democrats

00:11:58.600 who are being paid for

00:12:00.580 by these Somali

00:12:02.440 thieves.

00:12:04.520 And so

00:12:05.160 at the end of the day

00:12:06.800 that the police

00:12:07.600 knows their

00:12:08.200 knows their jobs

00:12:09.320 is protect

00:12:10.080 the criminals

00:12:10.960 protect the thieves

00:12:12.640 because the thieves

00:12:14.180 are funding

00:12:14.860 the politicians

00:12:15.680 who are in charge

00:12:16.560 of the city.

00:12:17.480 Now if you want to hear

00:12:18.240 the rest of this conversation

00:12:19.760 you can go back

00:12:20.760 and listen to the full podcast

00:12:22.340 from earlier this week.

00:12:42.280 politicians

00:12:51.840 or wherever you listen

00:12:52.820 to your podcasts.

00:12:55.220 Now on to story number two.

00:12:57.340 You know this also goes back

00:12:58.540 to something you and I

00:12:59.300 talked about

00:12:59.980 several months ago

00:13:01.300 when we had

00:13:02.100 then the man

00:13:03.220 in charge of Doge

00:13:04.280 he was warning us

00:13:05.480 about waste

00:13:06.760 fraud and abuse.

00:13:08.120 That was Elon Musk.

00:13:09.080 He actually retweeted

00:13:10.660 the last couple days

00:13:11.920 this segment

00:13:13.340 that we had

00:13:14.020 from him

00:13:14.440 in the Doge office

00:13:15.260 in the EOB

00:13:15.820 next to the White House

00:13:16.760 and I want to play

00:13:18.040 that for people

00:13:18.700 just to remind you

00:13:20.060 of what he was talking about

00:13:21.280 of entitlement payments

00:13:23.020 going to people

00:13:24.300 just like these Somalians 1.00

00:13:26.140 and illegals

00:13:26.940 and how this was

00:13:28.660 one of the biggest frauds

00:13:30.020 as he described it

00:13:30.860 happening in the history

00:13:31.800 of this country.

00:13:32.460 Take a listen

00:13:33.880 to again

00:13:34.680 this is Elon Musk

00:13:35.600 on this show

00:13:36.580 months ago

00:13:37.300 warning about 0.81

00:13:38.520 this exact type

00:13:39.700 of behavior.

00:13:41.380 The single biggest thing

00:13:43.000 that they're

00:13:43.440 that they're worried about

00:13:44.980 is

00:13:45.460 that

00:13:46.420 Doge

00:13:48.120 is going to turn off

00:13:49.600 fraudulent payments

00:13:50.780 of entitlements

00:13:51.780 I mean everything

00:13:52.740 from Social Security

00:13:53.860 Medicare

00:13:54.340 you know

00:13:55.840 unemployment

00:13:56.480 disability

00:13:57.460 small business

00:13:59.380 administration loans

00:14:00.720 turn them off

00:14:01.760 to illegals

00:14:03.260 this is the

00:14:05.100 crux of the matter

00:14:05.820 yep

00:14:06.400 okay this is

00:14:07.120 this is the

00:14:07.800 this is the thing

00:14:09.120 that why they really

00:14:10.360 hit my guts

00:14:10.800 want me to die

00:14:11.380 and do you think

00:14:13.260 that's billions

00:14:13.960 hundreds of billions

00:14:15.140 what do you think

00:14:15.540 the scale is of that

00:14:16.580 I think

00:14:17.380 across the country

00:14:18.280 it's in

00:14:18.900 it's well worth

00:14:19.660 of 100 billion

00:14:20.240 maybe 200 billion

00:14:21.400 so

00:14:23.220 by

00:14:25.640 by using

00:14:26.440 entitlements fraud

00:14:27.420 the Democrats

00:14:28.320 have been able

00:14:28.780 to attract

00:14:30.160 and retain

00:14:31.380 vast numbers

00:14:32.680 of illegal immigrants 0.94

00:14:34.400 and

00:14:35.120 and by voters

00:14:35.960 and

00:14:36.500 and by voters

00:14:38.040 exactly

00:14:38.520 the

00:14:39.100 basically

00:14:40.100 bring in

00:14:41.140 I don't know

00:14:42.120 10-20 million

00:14:42.980 people

00:14:44.080 who are beholden

00:14:45.400 to the Democrats

00:14:46.240 for government

00:14:47.260 handouts

00:14:47.760 and will vote

00:14:49.260 overwhelmingly Democrat

00:14:50.360 as has been

00:14:51.320 demonstrated in

00:14:51.880 California

00:14:52.240 this is

00:14:53.660 it's an election

00:14:54.800 strategy

00:14:55.240 yes

00:14:55.780 it's power

00:14:56.500 yes

00:14:57.080 and

00:14:57.480 and

00:14:57.700 it

00:14:57.880 doesn't take

00:14:58.320 much to turn

00:14:58.960 the swing states

00:14:59.520 blue

00:14:59.880 I mean

00:15:00.500 often a swing state

00:15:01.320 might be won

00:15:01.940 by 10-20 thousand

00:15:03.080 votes

00:15:03.440 sure

00:15:03.700 so

00:15:04.200 the Dems can

00:15:05.020 bring in

00:15:05.400 200,000

00:15:06.400 illegals 0.93

00:15:07.060 and over time

00:15:07.820 get them

00:15:08.520 legalized

00:15:09.440 not counting

00:15:10.580 any cheating

00:15:11.060 that takes place

00:15:11.660 because there is

00:15:12.080 some cheating

00:15:12.520 but even without

00:15:13.820 cheating

00:15:14.220 if you

00:15:15.240 make

00:15:15.820 if you bring

00:15:17.200 in illegals

00:15:17.620 that are 10x

00:15:18.280 the voter

00:15:19.020 differential

00:15:19.480 in a swing state

00:15:20.560 it will no longer

00:15:21.620 be a swing state

00:15:22.340 right

00:15:22.560 and the Dems 0.83

00:15:24.540 will win

00:15:24.940 all the swing states

00:15:25.780 just a matter of time

00:15:26.620 and America

00:15:29.140 will be

00:15:29.540 permanent

00:15:30.280 deep blue

00:15:31.260 socialist state

00:15:32.080 the house

00:15:34.320 the senate

00:15:34.960 yep

00:15:35.340 the presidency

00:15:36.660 and the supreme court

00:15:37.600 will all go

00:15:38.420 hardcore Dem

00:15:39.300 they will then

00:15:40.300 further cement that

00:15:41.180 by bringing

00:15:42.620 in even more

00:15:43.420 aliens

00:15:43.800 so you

00:15:44.120 can't vote

00:15:45.120 your way out

00:15:45.540 of it

00:15:46.120 their objective

00:15:47.900 is to make

00:15:48.520 one party

00:15:49.140 socialist state

00:15:49.880 and it will be

00:15:50.640 much worse

00:15:51.020 than California

00:15:51.520 because at least

00:15:51.980 California is

00:15:52.500 mitigated by

00:15:53.160 the fact that

00:15:53.840 someone can

00:15:54.180 leave California

00:15:54.680 you can go to

00:15:55.200 Texas

00:15:55.460 yeah

00:15:55.900 exactly

00:15:56.500 they are going

00:15:57.960 to make

00:15:58.160 everywhere

00:15:58.760 California

00:15:59.400 a bit worse

00:15:59.880 you know

00:16:00.660 what's interesting

00:16:01.060 is the way

00:16:01.500 that he described

00:16:02.140 it there

00:16:02.440 senators saying

00:16:03.060 you can't

00:16:03.660 they'll get

00:16:04.060 to a point

00:16:04.540 where you can't

00:16:05.160 vote your way

00:16:05.720 out of it

00:16:06.200 it's almost

00:16:07.180 like Elon

00:16:07.940 was describing

00:16:08.800 Minneapolis

00:16:09.620 Minneapolis

00:16:11.400 St.

00:16:11.860 Paul

00:16:12.200 and now

00:16:13.520 in essence

00:16:14.340 the entire

00:16:14.960 state is going

00:16:15.800 that way

00:16:16.280 after it's

00:16:16.880 total Somali

00:16:17.580 control

00:16:18.120 locally

00:16:19.020 now look

00:16:20.160 that is

00:16:20.960 exactly right

00:16:21.760 I will say

00:16:22.600 by the way

00:16:23.140 that the

00:16:23.480 interview we

00:16:23.900 did with

00:16:24.140 Elon Musk

00:16:24.780 it was an

00:16:25.140 hour long

00:16:25.540 interview

00:16:25.860 we did it

00:16:26.320 in the course

00:16:26.820 of two

00:16:27.100 podcasts

00:16:27.700 it remains

00:16:29.200 one of my

00:16:29.620 favorite pods

00:16:30.220 we've ever

00:16:30.800 done

00:16:31.180 if you

00:16:31.820 didn't listen

00:16:32.540 to it

00:16:32.900 when it

00:16:33.160 came out

00:16:33.640 I would

00:16:33.920 encourage

00:16:34.360 you

00:16:34.540 it was

00:16:34.740 fascinating

00:16:35.320 we got

00:16:35.820 to ask

00:16:36.220 Elon

00:16:36.420 all sorts

00:16:36.940 of questions

00:16:37.500 about how

00:16:38.320 he built

00:16:38.620 Tesla

00:16:38.960 how he built

00:16:40.020 SpaceX

00:16:41.220 what are

00:16:42.340 the odds

00:16:42.860 of killer

00:16:43.300 robots

00:16:43.740 killing us

00:16:44.300 all

00:16:44.580 what's

00:16:44.900 going to

00:16:45.080 happen

00:16:45.300 with AI

00:16:45.780 I mean

00:16:46.980 it was

00:16:47.420 it was

00:16:47.840 fun

00:16:48.280 it was

00:16:48.700 interesting

00:16:49.340 Elon

00:16:49.800 is a good

00:16:50.300 friend

00:16:50.720 and that

00:16:51.900 exchange

00:16:52.560 it was

00:16:53.240 prescient

00:16:53.860 that he

00:16:54.520 predicted

00:16:55.040 and it's

00:16:55.400 interesting

00:16:55.760 he said

00:16:56.120 north of

00:16:56.480 100 billion

00:16:57.040 nationwide

00:16:57.720 we look

00:16:58.680 at Minneapolis

00:16:59.340 and Minnesota

00:17:00.860 where it's

00:17:01.520 already north

00:17:02.200 of 9 billion

00:17:02.840 in just one

00:17:03.560 state

00:17:03.920 and I think

00:17:04.780 that prediction

00:17:05.280 of 100 billion

00:17:05.960 or more

00:17:06.480 is very

00:17:07.840 accurate

00:17:08.300 you know

00:17:09.000 I'll also

00:17:09.540 say on the

00:17:10.180 point about

00:17:11.040 getting

00:17:12.080 you know

00:17:12.340 Elon talked

00:17:12.940 right there

00:17:13.480 about getting

00:17:14.280 people locked

00:17:15.080 into welfare

00:17:15.960 and dependency

00:17:16.700 and making

00:17:17.160 them dependent

00:17:17.580 on the

00:17:17.860 Democrats

00:17:18.380 you know

00:17:19.020 there was

00:17:19.280 a tweet

00:17:19.840 that Bill

00:17:20.300 Ackman 0.95

00:17:20.740 the New

00:17:21.600 York

00:17:21.760 investor

00:17:22.140 put out

00:17:22.620 today

00:17:23.480 that I

00:17:23.820 thought

00:17:23.960 was quite

00:17:24.280 insightful

00:17:24.720 he said

00:17:26.140 quote

00:17:26.440 even assuming

00:17:27.140 there was

00:17:27.620 no fraud

00:17:28.200 none of

00:17:29.120 this makes

00:17:29.520 sense

00:17:29.960 how is it

00:17:31.280 that we

00:17:31.620 have been

00:17:31.940 funding

00:17:32.480 billions

00:17:33.240 of dollars

00:17:33.980 of daycare

00:17:34.840 for Somali

00:17:36.260 immigrants

00:17:36.840 in Minnesota

00:17:37.960 81%

00:17:40.260 of which

00:17:40.940 according to

00:17:41.560 Gemini

00:17:42.020 are on

00:17:43.060 welfare

00:17:43.420 now get

00:17:43.940 this

00:17:44.180 listen to

00:17:44.980 that fact

00:17:45.400 again

00:17:45.660 81%

00:17:46.880 of Somali

00:17:47.600 immigrants

00:17:48.000 are on

00:17:48.360 welfare

00:17:48.900 Ackman 0.95

00:17:50.320 continues

00:17:50.840 in other

00:17:51.700 words

00:17:52.080 if mom

00:17:53.360 and dad

00:17:53.900 don't work

00:17:55.240 why the

00:17:56.460 need for

00:17:56.820 child care

00:17:57.420 perhaps you

00:17:58.800 could say

00:17:59.180 the welfare

00:17:59.620 statistics

00:18:00.180 include some

00:18:00.880 subsidies

00:18:01.360 for working

00:18:01.920 parents

00:18:02.380 but still

00:18:03.180 in this

00:18:03.560 case

00:18:03.800 the child

00:18:04.240 care

00:18:04.400 does not

00:18:04.740 appear to

00:18:05.080 be needed

00:18:05.520 as the

00:18:06.280 daycare

00:18:06.640 centers

00:18:07.020 are empty

00:18:07.820 furthermore

00:18:09.120 why is

00:18:09.700 federal

00:18:10.060 funded

00:18:10.520 child care

00:18:11.200 provided to

00:18:11.940 recent

00:18:12.380 immigrants

00:18:12.840 on welfare

00:18:13.780 versus

00:18:14.520 long-standing

00:18:15.520 American

00:18:16.060 working

00:18:16.520 families

00:18:17.040 who are

00:18:17.320 not on

00:18:17.780 welfare

00:18:18.160 how does

00:18:18.980 this make

00:18:19.460 sense

00:18:19.800 and the

00:18:20.020 answer

00:18:20.260 is it

00:18:20.660 doesn't

00:18:21.420 it doesn't

00:18:22.320 unless the

00:18:23.260 goal is to

00:18:23.800 buy votes

00:18:24.360 and if the

00:18:25.200 goal is to

00:18:25.760 buy votes

00:18:26.260 it makes

00:18:27.200 perfect sense

00:18:28.000 and everyone

00:18:29.180 responsible

00:18:29.900 needs to

00:18:30.380 go to

00:18:30.600 jail

00:18:30.860 senator

00:18:31.440 we're talking

00:18:31.760 about

00:18:31.900 accountability

00:18:32.500 and

00:18:32.900 and CEOs

00:18:34.060 they're held

00:18:35.720 accountable

00:18:36.080 when they

00:18:36.520 commit

00:18:36.880 major

00:18:37.300 frauds

00:18:37.820 Bernie

00:18:38.160 Madoff

00:18:38.560 is one

00:18:38.880 I mentioned

00:18:39.240 a moment

00:18:39.560 ago

00:18:39.760 as well

00:18:40.320 is there

00:18:41.800 a real

00:18:42.240 chance

00:18:42.880 that we

00:18:43.420 will see

00:18:44.040 government

00:18:44.680 elected

00:18:45.360 officials

00:18:46.000 because of

00:18:47.280 this fraud

00:18:47.780 actually be

00:18:48.700 arrested and

00:18:49.340 held accountable

00:18:49.900 for the fact

00:18:50.820 that they're

00:18:51.180 the CEO

00:18:51.600 of the state

00:18:52.160 and they

00:18:53.200 are the ones

00:18:53.820 that allowed

00:18:54.360 this to

00:18:54.680 happen

00:18:54.900 there were

00:18:55.300 a lot

00:18:55.560 of warning

00:18:55.920 signs

00:18:56.400 there were

00:18:57.100 whistleblowers 1.00

00:18:57.760 that have

00:18:58.060 come forward

00:18:58.540 saying that

00:18:58.980 they had

00:18:59.320 taken to

00:18:59.760 the governor

00:19:00.160 and they

00:19:00.520 were actually

00:19:00.880 punished

00:19:01.400 for being

00:19:01.920 a whistleblower

00:19:02.700 in

00:19:03.300 Minnesota

00:19:03.680 that's part

00:19:04.600 of this

00:19:04.860 story

00:19:05.180 that can't

00:19:05.620 be overlooked

00:19:06.160 look I hope

00:19:07.840 so and I

00:19:08.560 believe there

00:19:09.140 will be

00:19:09.600 accountability

00:19:10.100 we've already

00:19:10.860 seen people

00:19:11.980 being prosecuted

00:19:12.980 the fraudsters

00:19:13.680 themselves

00:19:14.240 we've seen

00:19:15.160 DOJ and

00:19:16.000 the FBI

00:19:16.520 promising to

00:19:17.300 go higher

00:19:17.800 up the

00:19:18.160 chain

00:19:18.580 and I

00:19:20.160 hope and

00:19:20.540 expect that

00:19:21.140 to happen

00:19:21.580 now you

00:19:22.280 know I

00:19:22.480 will say

00:19:23.020 on Twitter

00:19:24.020 lots of

00:19:24.480 folks are

00:19:24.860 commenting

00:19:25.220 with our

00:19:25.820 last couple

00:19:26.360 of pods

00:19:26.820 and they're

00:19:27.140 yelling at

00:19:27.600 me going

00:19:28.020 well Ted

00:19:29.500 do something

00:19:30.200 about it

00:19:30.740 and let's

00:19:31.300 get back

00:19:31.780 to the

00:19:32.060 basic

00:19:32.360 constitution

00:19:33.060 and the

00:19:33.440 separation

00:19:33.860 of powers

00:19:34.420 the only

00:19:36.020 federal entity

00:19:37.000 that can

00:19:37.500 prosecute

00:19:38.120 is the

00:19:38.460 executive

00:19:38.940 branch

00:19:39.380 that is

00:19:39.860 the

00:19:40.360 department

00:19:40.680 of

00:19:40.880 justice

00:19:41.220 that is

00:19:41.580 the FBI

00:19:42.100 they can

00:19:42.860 bring criminal

00:19:43.500 charges

00:19:43.920 I serve

00:19:44.380 in the

00:19:44.580 legislature

00:19:45.100 the legislature

00:19:46.060 cannot prosecute

00:19:47.420 anyone

00:19:47.720 what we can

00:19:48.400 do is shine

00:19:49.560 a light

00:19:49.860 what we can

00:19:50.380 do this

00:19:50.800 podcast reaches

00:19:51.760 millions of

00:19:52.480 people by

00:19:53.280 shining a

00:19:53.980 light and

00:19:54.380 calling for

00:19:54.900 accountability

00:19:55.420 that builds

00:19:56.600 the momentum

00:19:57.120 for then the

00:19:57.860 executive has to

00:19:58.820 bring the

00:19:59.160 indictments and

00:20:00.020 has to prosecute

00:20:00.980 and that we're

00:20:02.040 going to do

00:20:02.440 and I fully

00:20:02.860 expect we will

00:20:03.580 also have

00:20:04.220 congressional hearings

00:20:05.780 again to shine

00:20:07.180 a light

00:20:07.460 now a congressional

00:20:08.160 hearing cannot

00:20:09.660 actually indict

00:20:10.720 anyone and put

00:20:11.360 anyone in jail

00:20:12.360 but it can draw

00:20:13.320 real attention

00:20:14.080 and it could

00:20:14.720 uncover evidence

00:20:15.880 that helps

00:20:16.920 helps the

00:20:17.660 executive then

00:20:18.580 prosecute

00:20:19.300 there are also

00:20:20.620 political consequences

00:20:21.800 and I want to

00:20:22.620 play actually an

00:20:23.840 ad that I saw

00:20:24.680 online I don't

00:20:25.500 know who put

00:20:25.880 this together

00:20:26.420 but it's a

00:20:27.620 satirical ad

00:20:28.440 about Tim Walz

00:20:29.320 that gives

00:20:29.760 some of the

00:20:30.260 sense of

00:20:30.740 political

00:20:31.220 consequences

00:20:32.000 that will

00:20:33.520 happen

00:20:33.900 this just

00:20:34.840 came out

00:20:35.280 today

00:20:35.720 give a listen

00:20:36.500 Tim Walz

00:20:37.760 doesn't seek

00:20:38.380 out fraud

00:20:39.040 fraud

00:20:39.680 seeks out

00:20:40.460 Tim Walz

00:20:41.300 when scammers

00:20:42.580 apply for jobs

00:20:43.800 they list him

00:20:44.860 as a reference

00:20:45.700 under his watch

00:20:47.240 fraud is

00:20:48.080 Minnesota's

00:20:48.740 fastest growing

00:20:49.540 small business

00:20:50.680 his biggest

00:20:51.920 export

00:20:52.480 taxpayer money

00:20:53.740 delivered to

00:20:54.700 foreign terrorists 0.81

00:20:55.580 if fraud had a

00:20:57.240 frequent flyer

00:20:57.940 program he

00:20:59.040 would always

00:20:59.700 fly first

00:21:00.560 class

00:21:01.140 he is

00:21:02.940 Tim Walz

00:21:03.860 the most

00:21:04.660 fraudulent

00:21:05.220 man in

00:21:05.780 America

00:21:06.280 Tim Walz

00:21:07.960 doesn't seek

00:21:08.560 I love the

00:21:10.160 and I remember

00:21:10.740 the most

00:21:11.180 interesting man

00:21:11.820 in the world

00:21:12.280 that's that

00:21:12.780 theme to that

00:21:13.540 with Dos Equis

00:21:14.160 yeah which is

00:21:16.560 such a great

00:21:17.300 like great ad

00:21:18.420 series they did

00:21:28.180 you know

00:21:28.540 with something

00:21:29.180 to say in

00:21:29.740 the world

00:21:30.140 now I

00:21:31.540 understand your

00:21:32.400 beard like

00:21:33.060 never before

00:21:33.860 you were trying

00:21:34.840 to be the

00:21:35.380 most interesting

00:21:35.960 man in the

00:21:36.380 world of

00:21:36.840 politics

00:21:37.400 okay now

00:21:38.100 it's full

00:21:38.560 circle

00:21:38.980 it's a low

00:21:40.040 bar

00:21:40.400 I get it

00:21:42.240 that's so

00:21:43.280 good

00:21:43.600 that's I'm

00:21:44.480 never okay

00:21:45.440 the connection

00:21:46.160 is solidified

00:21:47.000 now

00:21:47.320 I that that

00:21:48.740 ad is hysterical

00:21:49.980 it's also

00:21:51.000 incredibly accurate

00:21:52.540 look this is

00:21:55.200 and it's just

00:21:55.940 the beginning

00:21:56.440 this is only

00:21:57.280 going to get

00:21:57.720 worse as I

00:21:58.420 said this has

00:22:00.000 happened in

00:22:00.640 other states

00:22:01.220 Minnesota is a

00:22:03.160 perfect storm

00:22:04.040 because you've

00:22:04.560 got the massive

00:22:05.240 Somali community

00:22:06.240 there but but

00:22:07.480 it is happening

00:22:08.220 in other states

00:22:08.940 we are going to

00:22:09.720 see accountability

00:22:10.420 and and and

00:22:11.480 listen I'm really

00:22:12.120 glad the Trump

00:22:12.800 administration

00:22:13.420 DOJ and the

00:22:14.160 FBI is going

00:22:14.940 after that this

00:22:16.120 but also today

00:22:17.800 HHS the

00:22:19.580 Trump administration

00:22:20.300 came out with

00:22:21.220 with with with

00:22:22.000 this announcement

00:22:23.120 give a listen

00:22:23.720 I'm here with

00:22:24.780 Assistant Secretary

00:22:25.620 Alex Adams

00:22:26.380 Alex oversees

00:22:27.720 the administration

00:22:28.360 for children and

00:22:29.060 families

00:22:29.500 intrepid journalists

00:22:31.200 have made shocking

00:22:31.960 incredible allegations

00:22:32.900 of extensive fraud

00:22:34.320 in Minnesota's

00:22:35.220 child care programs

00:22:36.160 we believe the

00:22:37.560 state of Minnesota

00:22:38.140 has allowed

00:22:38.680 scammers and

00:22:39.520 fake daycares to

00:22:40.440 siphon millions of

00:22:41.460 taxpayer dollars over

00:22:42.500 the past decade

00:22:43.240 my office ACF

00:22:44.920 provides Minnesota

00:22:45.900 185 million

00:22:47.220 dollars in child

00:22:48.000 care funds each

00:22:48.820 year that money

00:22:49.940 should be helping

00:22:50.600 19,000 American

00:22:51.980 children including

00:22:52.880 toddlers and

00:22:53.600 infants any dollar

00:22:55.280 stolen by fraudsters

00:22:56.520 is stolen from

00:22:57.540 those children

00:22:58.140 yesterday I spoke

00:22:59.820 directly with the

00:23:00.780 director of the

00:23:01.320 Minnesota Child

00:23:02.040 Care Services

00:23:02.720 office she could

00:23:04.020 not tell me with

00:23:04.720 confidence whether

00:23:05.440 those allegations of

00:23:06.460 fraud are isolated

00:23:07.400 or whether there's

00:23:08.220 fraud stretching

00:23:08.940 statewide today we

00:23:10.440 have taken three

00:23:11.180 direct actions against

00:23:12.300 the blatant fraud

00:23:13.220 that seems to be

00:23:14.340 rampant in Minnesota

00:23:15.200 first I've asked

00:23:17.220 our defend the

00:23:18.300 spend system for

00:23:19.280 all ACF child care

00:23:20.500 payments across

00:23:21.200 America starting

00:23:22.820 today we require a

00:23:23.960 justification receipt

00:23:25.280 or photo evidence

00:23:26.440 before we make a

00:23:27.200 payment second I've

00:23:29.520 just signed and sent

00:23:30.440 a demand letter to

00:23:31.320 governor walls I

00:23:32.740 required a full 360

00:23:34.180 review of these

00:23:35.400 centers this includes

00:23:37.020 attendance records

00:23:37.860 licenses complaints

00:23:39.080 investigations and

00:23:40.180 inspections and third

00:23:41.700 we've launched a

00:23:42.520 dedicated fraud

00:23:43.460 reporting hotline and

00:23:44.800 email address at

00:23:45.820 childcare.gov whether

00:23:47.560 you're a parent a

00:23:48.440 provider a member of

00:23:49.560 the public we want to

00:23:50.500 hear from you let me be

00:23:52.060 crystal clear ACF expects

00:23:53.960 every state to uphold the

00:23:55.420 highest standards of

00:23:56.480 oversight monitoring and

00:23:58.120 accountability for federal

00:23:59.240 dollars Minnesota is no

00:24:01.020 exception we're committed

00:24:02.720 to holding bad actors

00:24:03.720 accountable regardless of

00:24:05.320 rancor office anyone is

00:24:06.720 involved in perpetrating

00:24:07.820 this fraud against the

00:24:08.700 American people should

00:24:10.340 expect to be prosecuted to

00:24:11.780 the fullest extent of the

00:24:13.160 law so this is a step in

00:24:15.260 the right direction if you

00:24:16.340 look at the the president's

00:24:17.760 response and the

00:24:18.500 administration's response I

00:24:20.040 I do think the best part

00:24:21.360 is he's using all of

00:24:23.220 government we're hearing

00:24:24.640 that the IRS is getting

00:24:25.800 involved that the Department

00:24:26.940 of Homeland Security the

00:24:28.000 FBI they're working with

00:24:30.440 with basically every part of

00:24:32.600 our government to fight

00:24:33.960 this fraud you see this

00:24:35.500 from HHS and and there are

00:24:37.460 some that will say well

00:24:38.360 this is unfair because

00:24:39.860 they're stopping the

00:24:40.760 funding and there has to

00:24:41.760 be somebody doing good

00:24:42.920 work in Minnesota if

00:24:44.060 you're mad I would say

00:24:45.940 that you should be mad at

00:24:46.800 the Democrats for allowing

00:24:48.100 it to get to the point

00:24:48.940 where they had to stop the

00:24:49.940 funding going to the state

00:24:50.880 of Minnesota if you're

00:24:52.340 angry you should be angry

00:24:53.240 at Walt's and you should

00:24:54.240 be angry at every Democrat

00:24:55.960 that allowed this to

00:24:57.620 continue when there was

00:24:58.960 massive amounts of

00:25:00.080 warning signs not for

00:25:01.400 weeks not for months but

00:25:02.540 for literally years and

00:25:03.700 years and years well Ben

00:25:05.760 Jim O'Neill who just made

00:25:06.900 that announcement he is the

00:25:07.980 deputy secretary of HHS

00:25:09.420 he's Bobby Kennedy's

00:25:10.480 deputy Jim has been a

00:25:12.320 good friend of mine for

00:25:13.520 25 years actually Jim was

00:25:15.380 a groomsman at Heidi's

00:25:17.260 and my wedding so actually

00:25:18.160 longer married 25 years

00:25:19.620 ago so Jim was a

00:25:20.560 groomsman at our wedding

00:25:21.420 and and he's a great

00:25:23.440 friend he's doing a

00:25:24.280 terrific job as deputy

00:25:25.460 secretary at HHS but

00:25:27.180 that's the kind of

00:25:27.980 leadership we see now

00:25:28.940 it's now it's striking

00:25:29.860 when when when HHS put

00:25:33.180 this out immediately Tim

00:25:35.700 Waltz responded and and

00:25:37.080 and here's what what Tim

00:25:38.280 Waltz said in response

00:25:39.540 this is Trump's long game

00:25:42.420 we've spent years cracking

00:25:45.420 down on fraudsters it's a

00:25:47.360 serious issue but this has

00:25:49.260 been his plan all along he's

00:25:51.440 politicizing the issue to

00:25:53.000 defund programs that help

00:25:55.340 Minnesotans and and this is

00:25:57.700 this is Saul Alinsky like

00:25:59.980 like jujitsu of attacking the

00:26:03.320 Trump administration for

00:26:04.440 holding him accountable

00:26:05.340 look Governor Waltz when you

00:26:08.420 let Somalian fraudsters steal 1.00

00:26:10.660 nine billion dollars from

00:26:12.460 taxpayers you know who

00:26:13.500 doesn't get that real

00:26:15.020 Minnesotans who are not 0.97

00:26:16.760 fraudsters real kids and

00:26:18.900 that that's what the Trump

00:26:20.080 HHS emphasized right now is

00:26:21.740 this money is is made to go

00:26:23.600 to Americans in need and not

00:26:26.020 to thieves who are supporting

00:26:28.140 Democrats and and we're

00:26:30.440 going to see a whole lot more

00:26:31.520 accountability coming as

00:26:32.840 before if you want to hear

00:26:34.140 the rest of this conversation

00:26:35.360 on this topic you can go

00:26:37.040 back and download the

00:26:38.040 podcast from early this week

00:26:39.520 to hear the entire thing

00:26:40.800 Canadian women are looking

00:26:42.860 for more more to themselves

00:26:44.580 their businesses their

00:26:45.860 elected leaders and the

00:26:47.100 world around them and that's

00:26:48.280 why we're thrilled to

00:26:49.080 introduce the honest talk

00:26:50.580 podcast I'm Jennifer Stewart

00:26:52.560 and I'm Catherine Clark and

00:26:54.220 in this podcast we interview

00:26:55.680 Canada's most inspiring women

00:26:57.440 entrepreneurs artists athletes

00:26:59.600 politicians and newsmakers all

00:27:01.620 at different stages of their

00:27:02.940 journey so if you're looking

00:27:04.580 to connect then we hope

00:27:05.800 you'll join us listen to the

00:27:07.200 honest talk podcast and I

00:27:08.580 heart radio or wherever you

00:27:09.920 listen to your podcasts I want

00:27:13.200 to get back to the big story

00:27:14.920 number three of the week you

00:27:16.000 may have missed if this was a

00:27:17.720 private sector fraud there would

00:27:20.500 already be people in handcuffs

00:27:21.880 yep there would be people there

00:27:23.420 that would be doing perp walks it

00:27:25.180 would be wall-to-wall coverage

00:27:27.000 but somehow because it's the

00:27:29.940 government it's like the

00:27:31.460 governor's not even a suspect

00:27:33.080 the AG is not even a suspect it's

00:27:35.400 like oh well you know we want to

00:27:36.740 bring in more Somalis that's what 1.00

00:27:38.120 the governor said a couple days

00:27:39.340 ago we should bring more of them

00:27:41.120 in how dare you demonize them and

00:27:43.140 if there is no accountability then

00:27:45.280 did they in fact get away with it I

00:27:47.060 would argue the answer is yes

00:27:48.240 because ultimately their goal was

00:27:49.880 to get Somalis to vote for them this 0.86

00:27:52.640 was the payoff it's pay-to-play

00:27:54.460 politics in Minnesota am I wrong

00:27:56.360 you're not wrong and that needs to

00:27:59.360 be one one significant part of the

00:28:01.120 investigation both from journalists

00:28:03.200 and from prosecutors there needs to

00:28:05.900 be significant investigation into how

00:28:08.520 much of that money ended up in

00:28:10.000 political coffers of politicians how

00:28:12.120 much the the reason that the

00:28:14.200 Democrats in Minnesota all look the

00:28:16.000 other way is they're all getting

00:28:18.020 paid a it's a huge voting block and

00:28:20.480 and I want you to to to watch this

00:28:23.040 for those of you who are watching

00:28:24.140 this online I I want you to see this

00:28:26.780 video of the mayor of Minneapolis

00:28:29.220 dancing waving a Somali flag if you

00:28:32.040 haven't but if you're not watching it

00:28:34.340 online if you're listening on radio

00:28:35.400 we're going to narrate it but here

00:28:36.540 give a look if you can and Ben and I

00:28:38.620 will tell you what you're looking at

00:28:39.540 I mean this video is amazing you got

00:28:48.320 the mayor of Minneapolis up there on

00:28:50.280 stage center waving a Somali flag and

00:28:55.200 dancing with a shirt of the Somali flag

00:28:57.940 on a shirt as well if you want to know

00:29:00.620 how we got to where we are now this is

00:29:03.600 just proof of it am I wrong okay and I

00:29:06.440 gotta say that this mayor manages to

00:29:09.080 dance in a way that makes Tim Waltz

00:29:11.620 look manly but like that is the most

00:29:14.920 effeminate prancing ass kissing like 0.94

00:29:21.260 like like unbelievably he's just

00:29:23.320 dancing and waving a Somali flag now

00:29:25.940 let me ask you do you think someone who

00:29:29.600 is desperately trying to get the votes

00:29:31.860 of the hundred thousand Somalis that

00:29:33.600 Democrats have imported into Minnesota

00:29:35.140 and desperately trying to get their

00:29:37.140 cash do you think he has any interest

00:29:38.640 in investigating and finding out the

00:29:40.560 billions of dollars they're stealing

00:29:41.720 from the taxpayers no hell no well and

00:29:44.060 that's how we got here let's go back to

00:29:47.240 the dancing mayor and talk a little bit

00:29:49.400 more about the propaganda he puts out on

00:29:51.660 social media clearly making it well known

00:29:54.340 where his allegiance isn't is not to the

00:29:56.540 American taxpayer well look if you're

00:29:59.900 asking how could this happen how could

00:30:01.840 it be so brazen how could you have daycare

00:30:03.900 centers with no kids how could you have

00:30:06.060 daycare centers with no playground

00:30:08.060 equipment how could you have centers for

00:30:09.900 kids with autism with no kids in them how

00:30:12.440 could you have home health care providers

00:30:14.500 that are not actually providing health

00:30:16.140 care like like the this the raw brazenness

00:30:18.500 of it and the answer is the politicians

00:30:20.740 were complicit and and and to to understand

00:30:23.820 just how craven and corrupt they are I want

00:30:26.340 to go back to the Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and and

00:30:29.440 and or Frey or Fry or however you say his

00:30:31.420 name it depends if you're talking in Somali

00:30:35.280 you know I don't know it depends on what

00:30:37.040 you're doing well I want to play a video

00:30:39.220 that he put out and this is him really

00:30:41.140 speaking to America's heartland speaking

00:30:43.700 to you to me to to all of us because he's a

00:30:46.800 mayor of a major American city so give a

00:30:49.280 listen to mayor Frey

00:30:50.160 okay that's enough I did hear him say

00:31:13.040 by the way you and I are officially unelectable

00:31:15.280 in Minnesota I just want to be very I did

00:31:18.060 hear him say kiss Mayo and and he is saying

00:31:20.780 to his voters kiss Mayo he's telling them 1.00

00:31:22.900 to kiss Mayo he said Mogadishu and and

00:31:25.420 apparently he's running for mayor of

00:31:27.440 Mogadishu and maybe he is mayor of Mogadishu

00:31:29.400 look if you're the biggest funder of Al

00:31:32.940 Shabab yeah you're actually quite a star in

00:31:36.240 Mogadishu do you think look I don't know

00:31:38.660 what that guy's saying and and and that is

00:31:41.500 by design and and by the way you might

00:31:44.480 think well okay he's just you know he's

00:31:47.180 just trying to appeal to a constituency I

00:31:50.120 want you to listen to the prime minister

00:31:52.780 of Somalia standing next Ilhan Omar Ilhan Omar

00:31:56.980 is the congresswoman who represents this

00:31:59.220 Somali community and I want you to listen

00:32:01.180 to what the prime minister of Somalia says

00:32:03.900 about Ilhan Omar

00:32:04.740 I mean this is I honestly shocking when he's

00:32:24.580 talking about it's not in the interest of

00:32:25.960 Minnesota

00:32:26.260 somebody else all right and and let me let me for

00:32:30.360 our listeners you'll be forgiven if you thought

00:32:33.440 that might have been the mayor of Minneapolis

00:32:35.040 Jacob Fry because because they both speak

00:32:37.340 Somalian and so you know it is understandable that

00:32:40.440 the prime minister of Somalia sounds just like the

00:32:42.440 Minneapolis mayor but but here actually is is what

00:32:47.360 the Somalian prime minister's name and it's Hassan Ali

00:32:50.820 Kyrie and and he says the following for those listening

00:32:54.960 on radio you don't have the English translation so let

00:32:56.760 me translate what he said quote the interest of Ilhan are

00:33:02.280 not of the American people the interest of Ilhan is

00:33:08.680 that of the Somalian people and Somalia that that's not me

00:33:13.980 saying that or you saying that that's the prime minister of

00:33:17.720 Somalia in Minneapolis in America telling presumably

00:33:22.300 Americans your member of Congress her interests are not 0.69

00:33:26.120 America they are Somalians and Somalia and you want to know

00:33:30.120 why so many Democrats look the other way as the Somalian

00:33:33.840 fraudsters were robbing the taxpayers blind it is because

00:33:38.600 they were in on it they were profiting from it they were

00:33:42.520 benefiting from it and and and this embodies level upon

00:33:47.420 level of corruption as always thank you for listening to
