Summary
In this episode, we sit down with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who sheds light on the alarming federal fraud case unfolding in Minnesota, which may be one of the largest in U.S. history. Emmer discusses the implications of systemic fraud and the alleged inaction of Democratic leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, who he claims ignored whistleblower reports and retaliated against those who spoke out.
We delve into the staggering estimates of fraud, with figures reaching as high as $9 billion, and the troubling connections to the Somali community. Emmer emphasizes that calling out crime is not racist, as he addresses the significant number of convictions related to fraud cases within this community. He also highlights the ongoing issues with Medicaid and housing fraud perpetrated under the current administration.
The conversation takes a serious turn as we explore the implications of cash couriers operating out of Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, moving large sums of money overseas, potentially linked to Al Shabaab. Emmer calls for accountability and thorough investigations into these financial transactions, urging that those who exploit the system should face severe consequences, including deportation.
Finally, we touch on the recent decision to end temporary protected status for Somali immigrants, with Emmer advocating for stricter immigration policies to deter fraud and protect American citizens. This episode is a powerful reminder of the challenges facing Minnesota and the urgent need for reform.

| 0:03.0 | Doctors have warned that this year's food season is going to be a rough one. Now, even mainstream media outlets like Fox News are reporting that a new more virulent and severe flu strain is spreading faster in the U.S. like it did in Europe. The kicker, the already ineffective flu vaccine is even less effective against this new strain. That's not good. What the media won't tell you is that Dr. Peter McCullough, my good friend warned about this weeks ago. In fact, right on this show, you know that because you were listening. He's been clear that this strain is more severe and is unlikely to respond to the flu vaccine, which means more personal preparations matter.
