Transcript [00:00] So, the other day, the Senate Judiciary [00:01] Committee held hearings uh about the big [00:05] fraud scandal in Minnesota where [00:07] billions of dollars are being embezzled [00:09] by the Muslim Somali community there. [00:13] And uh Ted Cruz was, you know, he took [00:15] to the floor and first he talks to a few [00:18] of the people who've been exposing this, [00:19] a Republican uh state representative and [00:22] someone else. And then he brings on this [00:24] this Democrat progressive activist. And [00:26] I want to talk about that guy after we [00:28] watch this masterful performance here by [00:32] Ted Cruz. So here here here's uh here's [00:35] Senator Ted Cruz, Senate Judiciary [00:37] Committee just a few days ago. Have a [00:38] look at this. [00:39] >> Answered affirmatively. You can have a [00:41] seat. And I hope your opening statements [00:42] were truthful. I should have done that [00:44] before before your opening statements, [00:45] but I I guess we'll have to take your [00:47] word for it. Um, [00:52] [sighs] [00:54] Representative Robbins, let's let's [00:55] start with you. [01:00] How broad [01:03] was the fraud that was perpetrated in [01:05] Minnesota? [01:07] >> We are still getting a handle on it. Um [01:10] but it's [01:13] all of the not all of but a huge segment [01:16] of the child care programs um autism [01:19] services sober homes emergency [01:21] transportation of 14 areas of Medicaid [01:24] fraud SNAP benefits. Um we are still I [01:29] would say getting whistleblower reports [01:32] uncovering new vectors of fraud. Um, we [01:35] just discovered the adult day services [01:38] and the assisted living. Those haven't [01:39] been counted in the total so far. So, I [01:43] I believe it's much broader than we [01:46] currently know and we will continue to [01:48] to expose it. [01:50] >> Is there any chance the elected [01:52] Democrats in charge of the state were [01:54] unaware of the fraud? [01:55] >> No. There have been credible [01:57] whistleblower allegations, press [01:59] reports, and office of legislative [02:01] auditor reports for many years. [02:04] >> Mr. [clears throat] Hul, I want to thank [02:06] you for your citizen journalism and your [02:08] hard work uh pressing for accountability [02:11] here. Um I will say I watched uh the the [02:15] video that you did [02:17] with [02:19] wrapped attention. It was profoundly [02:22] effective. It was also, by the way, an [02:23] indictment of all of the so-called [02:26] journalists uh on the national level [02:28] because none of them could be bothered [02:29] to actually go and investigate. I want [02:32] to ask you the same questions I asked [02:34] Representative Robbins. Number one, how [02:36] broad do you believe the evidence shows [02:38] the fraud in Minnesota was? [02:41] >> It's easily in excess of $30 billion [02:44] when you take everything into account. [02:46] You've got all of these NOS's, you've [02:48] got nonprofits, you've got county money, [02:50] you've got city money, you've got CCAP [02:53] money, you've got another thing called [02:55] great start. So there are all these [02:56] piles of money that factor into the [02:59] fraud. I don't know that anybody can [03:00] ever determine an exact number. But I [03:03] kept telling the US attorney when he [03:05] came out, I said, "You got to get your [03:07] number up. You got to get your number [03:08] up." And he did. He kept ratcheting up [03:09] the number. Ratcheting up the number. [03:11] And I kept saying, "You got to be at [03:12] least at $30 billion." [03:14] So going back to whether Governor Walls [03:17] knew about it, Governor Walls admitted [03:19] knowing about the fraud early in his [03:21] first term, which would say 2020. Well, [03:24] Minnesota statute 3.971 [03:27] subdivision 9 clearly says that if you [03:30] are made aware of fraud in a state [03:31] agency, [03:33] you are obligated to immediately report [03:36] that fraud to the office of the [03:37] legislative auditor immediately. The [03:40] legislative auditor is then the body [03:42] that determines which law enforcement [03:44] agency to bring into the investigation. [03:47] Governor Walls did not contact the [03:49] office of the legislative auditor. He [03:50] said he contacted the FBI about what. [03:54] That's not what the law says. [03:56] >> How many organizations receiving [03:58] taxpayer funds did you visit in total? [04:01] >> How many [04:02] >> how many organizations or ostensible [04:04] organizations? [04:05] >> Companies. [04:06] >> Yeah. I 200. [04:09] >> Um, of the child care centers you [04:11] visited, [04:13] how many kids did you see? [04:15] >> The only place that I saw children was [04:18] at Kinderare and New Horizons, which [04:20] are, in my opinion, legitimate. They're [04:22] large scale. They have play areas. Um, [04:25] and they also receive CCAP money, but [04:29] they're the only places that I saw where [04:33] there were children present ever at any [04:35] of them. How about the autism centers? [04:37] Did you see children? Did you see [04:39] patients there? [04:40] >> Never. [04:41] >> Um, [04:42] >> so that's not to say there weren't any, [04:43] but there were never there. There were [04:44] never any there when I was there. Never [04:46] any footprints in the snow. Same thing. [04:50] >> Uh, Mr. Weissman, uh, your co-president [04:53] of Public Citizen, which describes [04:56] itself as a consumer advocate and a [04:58] pro-democracy organization. [05:01] Would [05:02] you agree that the fraud in Minnesota [05:04] was staggering and shocking? [05:07] >> I agree that there is fraud in [05:09] Minnesota. I don't believe these [05:10] estimates are grounded in any evidence [05:12] that I've seen. The $9 billion figure [05:14] was based on a claim just that well I [05:16] think that half of them must be [05:18] fraudulent. I just heard a comment just [05:21] saying boost the number up. But be clear [05:26] and with respect, you missed my [05:27] testimony. No question there's fraud in [05:28] Minnesota and absolutely I share your [05:30] righteous anger about whatever degree of [05:32] fraud there was there. [05:33] >> Do you agree that any Democrat [05:36] politician or let me be clear any [05:37] Republican politician that had knowledge [05:41] of the fraud and was complicit should be [05:43] prosecuted. [05:46] >> I'm not sure what they're being [05:47] prosecuted for. But also in my testimony [05:49] I described also outside of Minnesota [05:52] the manifold ways that this [05:54] administration is enabling fraud. I look [05:57] I I understand and the reason Hold on [05:59] hold on hold on. [06:00] >> The standard is that you want [06:01] >> Sir I'm going to ask a question and then [06:03] you can answer it. [06:04] >> Yes sir. [06:05] >> Your organization describes itself as a [06:07] pro-democracy organization. I'm going to [06:09] try to find out [06:11] >> if you actually are pro-democracy or if [06:13] you're simply pro-democrat and are a [06:15] partisan. We've seen the Democrats who [06:18] want to change the topic. So, I get you [06:21] want to testify how much you hate Donald [06:23] Trump, but I'm quite certain Donald [06:25] Trump was not running a fraudulent [06:27] daycare center or a fraudulent autism [06:29] center in Minnesota. [06:31] So, all of the talking points about how [06:34] you dislike Trump, set them aside. We [06:36] will see the Democrats on this committee [06:38] go down those talking points. [06:42] Do you believe elected politicians in [06:47] Minnesota who were aware of this fraud [06:49] and were complicit in it should be [06:51] prosecuted? Should there be [06:52] accountability? [06:53] >> There absolutely should be [06:54] accountability. It is not normal to [06:56] prosecute government officials for not [06:58] prosecuting fraud. That is not a [07:00] standard I'm aware of that you've [07:01] advocated or that anyone else has [07:03] advocated in the Senate. [07:04] >> So you do you think it's perfectly okay? [07:06] I did not see [07:07] >> if let's say if let's say Governor Waltz [07:09] or Attorney General Ellison knew about [07:11] the fraud, benefited from the fraud in [07:14] terms of bundling votes, benefited from [07:16] the frauds in terms of collecting [07:17] campaign finance violations and [07:19] deliberately looked the other way. You [07:21] think that you you think that's not [07:22] criminal conduct? [07:23] >> In that hypothetical, it is not okay. [07:27] 100% not okay. But also, if you'll [07:29] permit me, that hypothetical is in fact [07:32] happening throughout [07:33] >> Yes, I get it. You you dislike Trump. I [07:36] understand you just sir sir it is [07:38] whether or not sir standard of [07:40] accountability so let me let me ask sir [07:42] sir please do not interrupt me please do [07:44] not clear I am [07:45] >> please do not interrupt me please do not [07:47] interrupt me sir [07:49] >> you may answer questions after I ask [07:52] them [07:58] you've heard the evidence and testimony [08:01] about daycare centers with no children [08:04] with no boys with no facilities with [08:07] windows that are blacked out. [08:10] Do you believe it is possible that the [08:13] officials sending millions of dollars to [08:15] those fake daycare centers and fake [08:17] autism senators didn't know what was [08:19] going on? [08:22] Uh well, what I heard was claims about [08:24] that and I too have watched the video. [08:27] We're both parents. I'm glad that the [08:29] child care centers don't open their door [08:32] for someone who's knocking there. I [08:33] don't view that as evidence that the [08:35] child care centers are fake childcare [08:38] centers, although I'm sure there are [08:39] some. My understanding is that state [08:42] investigators have gone to do their duty [08:45] at those exact same child centers and [08:47] have found that most of them actually [08:48] are operating correctly. [08:49] >> Well, I I will say it is disappointing [08:51] that you had a chance leading a [08:54] nonprofit that is supposedly [08:55] pro-democracy to take a principled [08:57] stand. Instead, you decided to defend [09:00] the Somali fraudsters because it [09:02] benefits elected Democrats. That's [09:03] disappointing. But but you know what? I [09:05] I'm going to give you something. You're [09:06] going to like an opportunity to say all [09:08] the ways you dislike President Trump [09:10] because I'm going to recognize the [09:12] ranking member who will surely ask you [09:14] why Trump is terrible and do everything [09:17] you and he can do to change the topic [09:19] from the actual topic of this hearing. [09:21] Ranking member White House. Before we [09:24] get to that, [09:26] um, I don't want to leave what seemed to [09:28] be a pretty flagrant mischaracterization [09:31] of your testimony, uh, without an [09:34] opportunity for you to address that [09:36] mischaracterization. If you would care [09:38] to begin with that, [09:40] >> I appreciate that. Just briefly, I was [09:42] disagreeing with the premise of the [09:44] question that we have been displayed [09:46] this evidence showing criminal [09:47] wrongdoing. Obviously, where there is [09:50] criminal wrongdoing, and I testified to [09:51] this, I support aggressive investigation [09:55] and prosecution. To the degree there is [09:57] wrongdoing in Minnesota, it should be [10:00] aggressively investigated and [10:02] prosecuted. I'm not sure that the claim [10:04] that all the evidence we've been [10:05] presented today is in fact evidence of [10:07] that. But I don't deny it for a moment [10:09] that it is occurring in Minnesota. [10:13] >> Okay. [10:14] First of all, good job there by Ted [10:16] Cruz. What I wanted to focus in on here [10:19] is the fact that this guy Robert [10:22] Weissman, Robert Weissman is is the [10:25] co-president of what's it called here [10:28] again? Public citizen. [10:30] And in his bio on the website, it starts [10:33] off with Robert Weissman [10:35] in parenthesis. He slash him is [10:38] co-president of Public Citizen and a [10:40] staunch public interest advocate and [10:42] activist. And he's obviously a Democrat [10:45] party operative. uh you look at his his [10:47] resumes and he's involved in all sorts [10:49] of other Democratic Party affiliated [10:51] organizations like the National Task [10:53] Force on Election Crisis and his public [10:56] citizen organization is calling for uh [10:59] you know the uh all sorts of actions to [11:02] be taken to handcuff the the Trump [11:05] administration and on every page of [11:07] their website there's some criticism of [11:09] the Trump administration. [11:11] The reason I'm interested in this in [11:12] this little video and what I really [11:14] wanted to talk about is the fact that [11:15] this guy, Robert Weissman, is a Jew. You [11:17] see, progressive liberal Jews are, in my [11:22] opinion, the most pathetic uh life form [11:26] on the American political scene. You [11:29] see, there's no group of people in the [11:33] world, to my knowledge, who consistently [11:35] advocate for [11:38] and uh and vote for their own enemies [11:42] more consistently. They actually vote [11:44] against their own interests. They work [11:46] against their own interests. How on [11:48] earth would an American Jew think that [11:52] coming to the defense of Muslim Somali [11:56] immigrants who are embezzling billions [11:58] of dollars of taxpayer money going to [12:01] help them? You see, these organizations [12:03] that people like Robert Weissman lead, [12:05] they they try to help all the people who [12:08] hate Israel, all the people who hate [12:10] Jews. They they uh they assist illegal [12:13] immigrants. That's what these [12:14] progressive liberal Jews do. And it [12:17] didn't surprise me at all that the guy [12:19] was, you know, the guy was a Jew. These [12:20] progressive liberal Jews are the [12:22] vanguard of the progressive movement. Uh [12:25] they and they're always at the forefront [12:27] of every cause that makes America less [12:30] safe and less hospitable to Jews. So [12:34] kudos to Robert Weissman for being [12:36] another lemming. you know, you know that [12:38] expression that because of um a myth, [12:41] it's really a myth because it's not [12:42] really true that lemmings will follow [12:44] the leader all the way to their own [12:46] death. So maybe if Robert Weissman is [12:49] lucky uh when the Muslims take over [12:51] America, they'll they'll eat him last. [12:54] Anyway, thanks for watching and uh [12:57] please make sure to like, share, [12:59] subscribe, do all that good stuff on the [13:00] channel. But, you know, the again the [13:03] this red green alliance between the [13:05] Democrat party and the Muslims, uh, is [13:08] it's just it runs so deep. I mean, like [13:10] they're both into the grift. They both [13:12] benefit from it. The Democrats want the [13:14] votes. The Muslims want the free stuff. [13:17] It kind of works for them. Uh, you know, [13:19] you can you can contrast that to the [13:20] Indian community that comes in and they [13:22] just they vote Republican and they want [13:24] free enterprise and they're [13:25] entrepreneurial. [13:27] So, hey, look, I live in Israel and uh [13:30] you know, we're fighting the Muslims [13:31] kinetically, but there in America, you [13:33] have lemmings like Robert Weissman who [13:35] are really giving away the stories. [13:36] Yeah. You know, please continue to watch [13:38] the channel. Please tell people what [13:40] we're doing here, and please make sure [13:41] to check out all the content at Israel [13:43] 365. God bless.
