You just said millions. What's the breakdown of the percentage of those who you have in custody who.

Kristi Noem (4:36)

Have actually committed a criminal offense versus.

Interviewer or Questioner (4:39)

Just the civil infraction? Every single individual has committed a crime, but 70% of them have committed or have charges against them on violent crimes and crimes that they are charged with or been convicted of that have come from other countries that are here illegally, first of all. And then they have committed a criminal act while they've been here or in their home countries as well. It's not 70%. Yes, it is. It absolutely is right. 70% of everyone. Keep changing your percentage. You pick and choose what numbers you think work. But that is the facts is that 70% of the people that we have detained have charges against them or have been convicted of charges and they need to be brought to justice. And we're going to keep doing that no matter how much you guys keep lying and don't tell the public the truth. It absolutely is that these law enforcement officers are out there every day doing the work to protect the American people and they will keep doing that because they believe in enforcing the law, which is exactly what President Trump has charged them with.

Ben Ferguson (5:37)

You listen there to again the Lies coming from CBS News. They try to spin the numbers, they try to say what she said is not accurate. And then when they're called out on it, you notice how quiet Brennan shut down because she knows that this is the actual number. Which also brings us to another part of this story. You may not know the headline that I'm about to give you, and that is the DOJ is investigating the Minnesota governor as well as the Minneapolis mayor, their boat to crime. The probe is a, quote, intimidation tactic and the liberal media is more than happy to spin it that way. Exactly. For them, CNN doing a perfect job of giving you state sponsored media from the governor and the mayor as they reported on this story between Jake Tapper and Kaitlan Collins. Listen to how they tried to explain the story to you so that you think that somehow Donald Trump is the one doing something wrong, not the mayor who said that we should get the ICE agents the F out of his city or the governor who said it's civil war. And let's also be clear, why are they saying that? Because billions of dollars have been coming into their state and have been disappearing through corruption, fraud and much of the money actually going directly to terrorist organizations like Al Shabaab. There is a massive fraud in the entire state and they don't want the federal government there trying to clean it up. So CNN says, yeah, we'll give you cover to that. No problem.

Kristi Noem (7:14)

I've confirmed that the Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walls and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry. A source familiar has told me that that confirms what was reported earlier. And essentially, Jake, as we're still trying to figure out what exactly the contours of this investigation are, we have a pretty good idea so far. And we heard from the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanch earlier this week after we had heard these comments from Mayor Fry, from Governor Walz following the shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this week. Todd Blanche was saying that ICE operates in a bunch of different counties without incidents going on. He referred to what's happening in Minnesota as an insurrection and said it's the direct result of a failed governor and an all caps terrible mayor who he accused of encouraging violence against law enforcement. Something that Todd Blanch called disgusting. And he said, I'm focused on stopping you from your terrorism by whatever means necessary. So Jake, I think that gives us a pretty good sense of what exactly it is that the Justice Department is at least trying to base this investigation off of. Where it goes. It's not really clear right now, but this does Come as the FBI director and the deputy attorney general were seen in Minneapolis today as they've been surging law enforcement to the area, as those tensions have only continued since the shooting of Renee Goode. But it does show you, Jake, who the Justice Department is focusing their targets on when it comes to the aftermath of the shooting of Renee Good here. And right now it is the Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz and the mayor here, both of whom have been criticized by multiple White House officials for their comments, including Mayor Fry telling ICE to get the F out of Minneapolis the day that she was killed. And Governor Wallace as well, making multiple public comments talking about the massive federal presence in their state. And so now it's an investigation by the Justice Department. It's not clear yet, Jake, that either of them have actually been served subpoenas as a result of this. And where this is going to go. It seems to be in the very early stages of whatever investigation this is. But that is what we have learned so far.

Ben Ferguson (9:16)

Jake, you notice there, they didn't talk about the actual problems in Minnesota. They did not talk about the fraud. They didn't talk about the millions that turn into billions of dollars that have gone missing from the taxpayers. No, no. Instead, what did they do there? They made up a totally different issue. And that was some sort of retaliation or retribution, as they described it, for a Trump administration they claim is angry. Yes, the Trump administration, by the way, is angry. They're angry that billions of dollars of our tax dollars have gone missing in corruption and fraud, that the governor and the mayor looked the other way on purpose. Which brings us back to Chrissy. No. And what she had to say on Monday. The federal authorities have not only arrested more than 10,000 criminal legal aliens in Minneapolis, but she added that investigators have opened what she described as that sweeping fraud probe totaling at least 19 billion. And then explaining it very clearly. This is at the government's footsteps. This is the feet of the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis. She also made it clear that the worst of the worst are who they're targeting in Minnesota. And we are finding the rapists, the child sex offenders, the violent criminals, the murderers Gnome writing this Peace and public safety in Minneapolis. We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walt Jacob Fry refused to protect their own people and instead protect criminals. Noem continued. In the last six weeks, our brave Department of Homeland Security law enforcement have arrested 3,000 criminal illegal aliens, including vicious murderers, rapists, child pedophiles and Incredibly dangerous individuals. A huge victory for public safety. Noam also alleged massive fraud in her own words, totaling, as she described it, at least 19 billion. And said Homeland Security investigation agents were conducting large scale investigations aimed at recovering money and holding those responsible accountable. Nome, by the way, did not provide any details outside of that. Why? Well, of course, because she doesn't want the criminals to know what we're actually doing. But what she did say was this. There is massive fraud in Minneapolis, at least 19 billion. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Our Homeland Security investigators are on the ground in Minneapolis conducting wide scale investigations to get justice for the American people who have been robbed blind. Now, you notice she didn't say Minnesota. She said 19 billion in Minneapolis, one single city in America. DHS, by the way, not releasing records, names or other details. Why? Because, of course, they don't want to help the criminals know what's coming. Now, we also know that the Justice Department is investigating whether Walton Fry impeded federal immigration enforcement through public statements, according to people familiar with that investigation. Both Waltz and Fry have criticized the investigation. And of course, as you heard from CNN earlier, there's describing it as an intimidation tactic. No, it's an actual massive investigation. One other thing that's also really interesting is a federal judge in Minneapolis has barred DHS agents from arresting what they describe as peaceful protesters who are not suspected of crimes or obstructing officers after residents alleged violations of their constitutional rights while observing or protesting immigration raids. Noem's fraud allegations also arrive against the backdrop of Minnesota's long running Feeding Our Future case. A high profile federal investigation tied to pandemic era child nutrition programs. What we know about this is shocking. Minnesota's Office of the Legislative Auditor summarized that the U.S. department of justice has now charged not 10, not 20, not 30, not 40, not 50, not 60, but 70 individuals between September of 2022 and February of 2024 in connection with a suspected $250 million scheme involving federally funded nutrition programs, and said the alleged fraud centered on the Minnesota nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Waltz's office previously said it had not received notice of the Justice Department's investigation, while Fry said the probe appears aimed at just intimidating him for opposing what he called dangerous federal actions in his city. One thing is for sure, the Trump administration is not backing down. And because of President Trump's leadership, others are doing their jobs the way they're supposed to. That includes Kristi Noem, the FBI, and Cash Patel, and many others who are now going to hold those accountable in Minnesota for the crimes that they've committed. And that, my friends, is far from, quote, intimidation, even if CNN lies to you and says otherwise.
