Now, the Talking Points memo this evening is a very disturbing story. The massive taxpayer fraud in Minnesota. All right, so President Trump is blaming the Somali community out there. Close to 90,000 Somalis live in Minnesota, most in Minneapolis, St. Paul. The reason they live there is because that was a magnet in the beginning when the first Somalis came over. And that's what always happens. Ethnic groups go to where their predecessors are. So the Irish went to Boston and New York. The Italians went to New York. That is the pattern of migration. Mexicans go to California. So Somalis headed on in. Now, the President of the United States, and I talked to him about this directly a few days ago. The President does not think in general the Somali community really helps this country, okay? And he's pretty blunt on it. And part of that is their congressperson Omar, who is a far left progressive, you know, put any other adjective you want in there. But Trump despises her. And now with this massive fraud, he is down on the Somali community. So what happened? Okay, so under the Biden administration, trillions of dollars flowed into communities all over the United States during the COVID years. They were unregulated. The money was not watched by feds or state. That's on Biden's watch. Remember Joe Biden, the four years he was in highest spending president by far in US History, Ran up the debt in an astronomical way. So the money pours in to Minnesota, all right? And then three big schemes emerge, all right? Fraud, absolute fraud. Now, if you want to learn about that, you can go and do the Nexus search or the Wikipedia or whatever. Feeding our future. I mean, they all got names and. But it would be too much for me to explain all this fraud, but it was. They were diverting money. The criminals were diverting money that was supposed to be used to help people into their own pockets in three major ways. Total money, a billion dollars. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. A billion dollars. All right, so there have been 87 people charged with crimes, 61 already convicted. These are federal charges. 79 of the 87 Somalis, according to the Hill newspaper, did analysis. So it was a Somali problem. Okay? Now, the government of Minnesota, as you may know, is very liberal. All right? Tim Walls, former vice presidential candidate under Kamala Harris, is the governor. There he is. There's Tim. Apparently Tim says he didn't know anything about this. Hard to believe, but that's what he says. Democrats control the Senate in Minnesota. The Attorney general is the Democrats is a Democrat. House in Minnesota is Republican, but nobody knew about this for years and years and years and years. Just unbelievably disturbing. Why? This is what the Wall street journal wrote on December 4, quote, Democrats won't acknowledge fraud because they want more Americans on the dole. Welfare is central to their political business model. Republicans who make the scandal about immigration are missing the point and missing an opportunity to educate Americans about the entitlement state grift. Okay, I wrote a column Yesterday on Billow Reilly.com I got into this a bit, but Minnesota is second in means entitlement spending behind Massachusetts. Ready for the stat. $46,000 per welfare recipient in Minnesota. $46,000 the state funnels into entitlements, not Social Security or Medicare, anything like that. Giving people stuff. And they're proud of it. Proud of it. It is the second, I don't know what the second state that spends that much. Minnesota. It's only 6 million people there. They spend more on means of time in California. It's just crazy. It really is crazy. Tim Walls VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE okay, now the population of, as I said, is approaching 90,000. Smiles. I'm adding legal and illegal in there. And if you criticize the Somali community who is obviously behind most of them this fraud, you get branded a racist. Here is the Minnesota lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan. Go.
