This is the Joe Pags show to talk to Joe called 888-941-Pags. And now it's Joe Pags. We're at Rio Stations everywhere. Appreciate you stopping by along with CJN for Sam. Polos getting it done. Make it. It happened. It is the Joe Pags show for your free speech Friday. Whatever. So in your mind, fair game. I know something about it. We'll talk about it. If not,
we will move on. It's 888-941-7247. It's 888-941-Pags. And again, there's a lot that went on this week. We've had jam-packed phone lines the entire week. A lot of things going on like James Talleriko just disappearing for 13 days showed back up at a music festival today in Austin at ACL. Austin statesman, which is a far left-wing rag that doesn't do real journalism, that every single one of its endorsements has been for a lefty. They caught up with him today at ACL. After 13 days away from anybody, certainly away from the public eye and public appearances. He's been Kingston public appearances for 13 days because of the flu, which doesn't take 13 days. What question do you think they asked him? Polo, any ideas? What do you think they saw? They see James Talleriko first time in 13 days. What do you think the question should be? What do you think they asked him? Well, you're here to see. CJ, what do you think? You've been gone 13 days. What do you think they asked him?
How are you feeling? I don't know. Are you feeling better? So, Polo, it's a good answer. Actually, you're right. But what should they have asked him? What have you been? Yeah. I mean, we thought you were dying. That's not loaded. That's not even a hard question. I mean, 13 days. Where you been? They asked him exactly what Polo said. Who you excited to see here at the festival? He's in the Tasha betting field. And they walked away. That was the question. That was a hard-hitting media question for US Senate candidate, the nominee for the Democrat Party, who's been missing for almost two weeks. I guess the rest is still in written. It's definitely unwritten. I mean, that's her song, by the way, in case you didn't know. I know. I mean, I was going to actually quote Caroline Ren, who's somebody who posted about this. She wrote it at the bottom. His campaign disappearance remains unwritten. So you nailed it. It's a day. Have you seen that you didn't even go on Twitter? No. It's like you knew everything in that story. I don't have Twitter. Sorry. But you've been doing, you know, me for a long time. You knew that we're going to ask him where he's been.
Of course. I mean, that to me, that's that's like the way team Z talks to celebrities. And then CJ who's nicer than you or me. She's like, I'd ask him, how do you feel? They didn't even ask him that. They didn't ask him that. How do you feel? Because the media wants us to the state. They're Austin statesman, which is a garbage outlet. Wanted us to believe that it's no big deal to be gone for 13 days with the flu. So they don't they're not even smart enough to say, hey, glad you got over the flu. How do you feel? Did I even smart enough to say that? Come on, dude. HIPAA laws maybe. HIPAA laws if he say I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But you know, HIPAA is very important to the Texans. Yes. The whole thing is so weird. And then I'm looking at a bunch of people over on X who are allegedly supporting him. I think they might be paid. Who knows? They all put on a cowboy hat like that means that, oh, I should listen to you. You got a cowboy hat on. I mean, honestly, everybody is throwing your cowboy hat.
They probably would if you could talk to him. How would he? Is that what TMZ does? Would flavor ice cream be your one? Yeah, they usually say something very flattering or super softball to get them to reply. And then, you know, they then they can. But then you're supposed to hit him with it. Eventually, when I had JD Vans on, what did I start with? Do you remember? Wasn't it something about like sports or something? Yeah. Yeah. His favorite quarterback is Joe Montana. My favorite quarterback is Dan Moreno. And the first thing I said was just to start things out, Dan Moreno twice the quarterback, Joe Montana will ever be. And then I moved, he said, no, no, no, you can't move on from that. Then we had a great conversation that I was able to ask him anything I wanted. I mean, if you want to, if you want to break the ice and say who you excited to see here, good. Then you hit him with where to help you bend for 13 days. How do you feel? What was the element? What do you make of all the people freaking out over you being missing? You're not going to talk to him about that at all? And I'm not making it up when I say, Trump wasn't on camera for like two days over a weekend once, six months ago.
And people on social media were saying, I hope he's dead. Where is he? This is ridiculous. How could the president be a disappear for two and a half days? Literally, but this guy was supposed to just give him a pass. It's ridiculous. It's what it is. It's ridiculous. Last night, I talked about ridiculous. El Sayyed, this Abdul Rahman Muhammad El Sayyed. He is the candidate for the Democrats. He's a DSA at Admission for U.S. Senate. Dual citizen of Egypt and the United States. Well, he had his debate last night, the first debate with Mike Rogers, who we have, we hope to have on very soon. And Mike Rogers does an incredible job calling him out. Now, I'm going to give you what the AP said about the debate first. Then I'll give you five or six sound bites from the debate. And you decide how things went. This is from the Associated Press. So could be fake news. Rogers and El Sayyed trade attacks and combative first Michigan Senate debate. By Joey Capilletti. Hey, Joey Capilletti.
How you doing, Joey? Grand Rapids, Michigan, the first debate in Michigan's closely watched U.S. Senate race, turned combative Thursday last night. As Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat El Sayyed, Abdul El Sayyed repeatedly, traded personal attacks, talked over each other and even continued arguing during the commercial break. The contentious hour-long grudge match featured weeks, followed weeks of the two candidates sparring online and an advertisement instead of flooded the state in the highly competitive campaign for an open Senate seat. What I'd like to be part of the debate too, moderator Rick Albin said during the quarreling. And 30 years of doing debates he added later, I've never seen it continue during the commercial, but it did. Rogers is a former congressman who ran unchallenged in the August 4th Republican primary. He lost a previous Senate race to then U.S. representative, at least the slutkin, by just under 20,000 votes two years ago. El Sayyed is a progressive and former public health official who defeated U.S. representative, Haley Stevens, in the Democratic primary this year by less than a percentage point. The seat is open because Democratic Senator Gary Peters is retiring.
Both parties see the race as pivotal to deciding which party wins control of the Senate in November. Rogers has broken with Trump on two major issues in recent weeks and September, Rogers said the war with Iran needed to end quickly. What do you mean? How does the departure, I mean Trump is saying that too. On Wednesday, he released an ad criticizing Trump's tariffs on Canada saying we know that Canada is not our enemy and we need to end this tariff war now. That is a departure for sure. Early in the debate, Rogers doubled down on both regarding the war riders said I do believe it's going to come to an end. We needed to come to an end. And again, that's not at departure from Trump at all. Later, Rogers said that he called the White House a week to push for a deal with Canada to end the trade dispute. Quote, we originally told the Canadian tariff was going to be settled and settled quickly, Rogers told reporters after debate. It didn't happen. My argument is and I made this to the administration time to wrap it up. Rogers also criticized U.S. immigration and customs enforcement actions early this year. Same the efforts in Minnesota were probably not appropriate. That was to me something that they could have done differently.
Rogers said I disagree with Mike on that by the way. Trump had surged immigration agents into the state. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. El Saed grilled on stance to not send funds to Israel. El Saed worked during the debate to not only attack Rogers, but to also appeal to Democrats who may still be kind of planning their vote after a contentious primary divided the party's coalition. Some of the Jewish community have expressed concerns about El Saed's past comments. Regarding Israel, El Saed was asked during the debate if he would support sending weapons to Israel if they were attacked by another country. Here he's found that he did not want our tax dollars being used to subsidize war abroad. As later as Israel or Israel or Iran pose a more dangerous threat, he called it a ridiculous question. Both of them have proven dangerous in their own way, which is ridiculous. Israel has never posted dangerous threat to us at all. After the debate, El Saed was asked why he wanted Rogers to enter into his association with Trump while being dismissive of questions about his association with a son Pike or an online commentator with a history of controversial remarks. That's a serious question El Saed retorted to equate the most powerful person in the world
with a streamer in California seems to me just to be, I'm not going to use the word, but silly. That question by the way was asked by Rupert Raj, who was a reporter that started with me in Lansing in 1997. And he's now, I think he's the main anchor at Channel 2 in Detroit, which is great. Congratulations, David. It was a good question. It was a good journalist to question. You know, asking Rogers about his connection with Trump, well, you won't answer any questions about your, your wingman. And he again says he's a California streamer, which is so stupid. That's not a good answer. Well, I've queued up some, some, some audio sub video for you. If you're listening to Michigan, we've got the second most stations, number of stations we have in our Joe Pags network. We've got the most stations in Texas, 15 or 16, Michigan's like 14 or 15. So we, I definitely want to hear from you Michigan. I still own property there. I still have family that lives there. Love them very much. We still have very deep connections in Michigan. I want to know what the hell you're going to do. Are you really going to let this guy else I had this far left wing progressive nut job? Don't you raise your taxes and and doesn't support our friend Israel and won't, won't say,
I don't like Hamas. Is that really going to happen? Let me give you some of what happened last night. Oh, no, no, well, let's do this. Let's do this. All right. Let's, let's, let's, let's, he wants to pass piano words. I'll get him. I'll tell you what my mother did. She was a, a small, you go after my mom. I'm not going after your mom. What would your mom was working at? I was going off to that organization. They literally sang your mama to each other. They're doing your mama, your mama was indicted for funneling money to Elkita. Look, that's your mom. My mom worked at a lot, smoke a little chamber of commerce. I'll put my mom up any day for that. All right. Now, we didn't get how El said got there because Rodgers like, all right, you want to open that candle worms? Let's go. Your mom was connected with these really bad people. My mom worked with the chamber of commerce. Where we go with that? Then there's this. Can't condemn Hamas. He can't condemn the Muslim Brotherhood. He says his home is Egypt. This is all started by the way. We are going to the moment we can continue. We can continue this conversation. El say it's a your home is in Florida. My home is in Michigan. Although El say had had to admit, he is a dual citizen with Egypt and with the United States. The second half he does own a home the Florida.
I just he took it off the market. I don't know why. He took it off his home in the United Arab. We're done. Ever staying in the Middle East. Congressman Rodgers. What is in the United States? Okay, it's hard to hear a lot of that. El say had things he's got. He's got a drop the mic moment. He says he owns a home in Florida. To Mike Rogers. Then he said he took it off the market. Who knows why? But he owns a home in Florida. Rodgers says El say had owns a home in the United Arab Emirates. And then El say it's still things that he's dropped in the mic. And Rodgers says the line of the knife you couldn't hear because the moderators jumping in. They're both talking over each other. Rodgers says at least Florida is in the United States. And he's right. I don't only any land in the United Arab Emirates. I would buy as much as I could here in the United States before I started looking elsewhere. Why does he have a big fancy home in the UAE? I don't know. Then there's this. I get this one thing. Today or yesterday was October 7th. This is why you should get absolutely angry. He could not bring himself to even acknowledge the pain,
the terrorism, the rape, the murders, cutting off of women's breasts, putting children in ovens and killing them in front of their families. Could not even muster. And he could not even muster. I've condemned that. I didn't turn into a political theater like you did not. So, I'm just going to have to repeat. I just need to repeat. No, no, no. He's a political theater for a political game. I'm so sorry, but I'm not somebody who tries to make political theater out of other people's pains. You're a whole camp, a whole family-based political theater. And you can't turn it into a political theater. I'm sorry. Including, I just think that's what's Jack at Jackson. Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. We're going to take a break from this pleasant conversation. And when we come back, we're going to talk. I don't know this guy. I think that he works for wood, television, and Grand Rapids. I don't know him. But I will say this. He's letting you get out of hand. I just start shutting microphones off. Because nobody can really hear what's going on. But again, Mike Rogers making the point that Elsaid won't condemn what happened
or won't condemn Hamas. And on the anniversary of October 7th, he said nothing about what happened on October 7th. And that's a very good point. It's a valid point. And then, you know, instead of saying, I do condemn Hamas. He says, I condemn to it, like the action. But I don't make the political theater out of other people's pain. You know, you want to be a U.S. where you want to be a United States Senator. You want to be the Senator from a United States state, Michigan. You should absolutely understand what happened on October 7th. And you should agree that Hamas is a terrorist organization as denoted by the United States government. On the Gelsai it wants to. I'll be honest with you. Just don't. 888941 PAGS. 8889417247jopags.com. Hey, Michigan. You plan on voting for this guy. By this, for this clown, this pretend physician. Definitely want to hear from you. Meantime. Gotta remind you about in cogniz. Been talking to you about in cogniz for a long time. I did, I have been because it works very well for me. There are 420 data broker sites that immediately are, your name is removed.
Your information is removed. Your phone number, your email, all that stuff removed. Immediately. I saw that happen in real time. And now since I've been with them for a few months, a lot of these data brokers will add you back on. In cogniz got me off of another 103 sites. So right now it's 523. I'll get another updated. They give me updates monthly. I can go there and get an update every day if I want. I just don't go there and harp on it because another them safe. Is they're going to protect your privacy? Your children's names, their phone numbers, their email addresses. Where you live, what you drive, what your insurance company is, where you eat, where you get your gas. They know all this stuff. They collect that data. Then they sell it to the highest bidder. Why not do this instead of putting up with all that spam email, all that spam, all those spam texts and calls. Why not do it? Do what I did. Getting cogniz saved 60% right now. In cogniz.com slash pags, I and COGNI.com slash P.A. GS saved 60% about $7 a month. You'd be glad you did. We're back after this.
You're listening to Joe Pags. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. With a message for everyone paying big wireless way too much, please for the love of everything goodness world. Stop. With Mint, you can get premium wireless for just $15 a month. Of course, if you enjoy overpay no judgments, but that's weird. Okay, one judgment. Anyway, give it a try at MintMobile.com slash switch. I'll say I had going at it last night.
And rightfully so, they should be going at it. And I'll be honest with you, whoever the moderator was, I'm sure it's a news anchor from the local station. That's a great television station. So I'm sure he's probably done a very good job for a long time. But I think sometimes you can be too nice. I think sometimes you go and that listen back in the day, when I was in Lansing, I moderated all sorts of debates, either local or even statewide. And when I moderated the debates, you have to control it. And they'll sometimes look right at you and say, Hey, you're not giving me enough time. And I'll say I literally have a stopwatch. Give me the same amount of time. But not going to let you talk over each other. Nobody hears what you say. And I think that maybe you take a breath, you tell them before what the rules are going to be, they don't follow the rules. I mean, literally saying the middle of it. Listen, you guys want to do the debate or not. There's nobody going to understand anything anybody's saying. You want to retort what he's saying? Good. When he's done, you can. When he's done, you can. We'll give you 30 more seconds, whatever. So let's go back to a little bit more of it. And again, we're working on getting microaggers on this program next week. And hopefully we'll do that. I've known him for 30 years.
And they keep saying, oh, he can't wait to come on. But then we don't get him. We've had him on before, obviously. But we'll make sure that we get him on again. Here's the next step of these two going at it. Just described. And the doctor, well, he's not really a doctor. He's a sezis of a physician. Not, he can't. If a matter of fact, if somebody came into his office and he tried to treat that patient, he'd go to jail. So listen to this guy and what he's trying to sell. Notice that LSAE does not jump in there. He doesn't jump in there. Think about that. Why not? If you're really a doctor, because in this very debate, he called himself a doctor several times. And the writer is correct him every time, but you're not a physician, which you have said that you are. And he's not. He's never been a licensed physician. I'm going to take that from the beginning again. But notice LSAE had not jumping in saying, yes, I am. Just described. And the doctor, well, he's not really a doctor. He's a sezis of a physician. And if a matter of fact, if somebody came into his office and he tried to treat that patient, he'd go to jail. So listen to this guy and what he's trying to sell here today.
You're going to find out that this guy is not what he says he is. He is actually selling the best con I think I've ever seen. This is the first round of that. And I can't wait to talk more about that. You were mentioned in that comment. You have 30 seconds to respond. You know, Mike Apona here is going to make this about him. And about me. But really, in the end, this is about you. It's about whether or not you can afford your gas. You can afford your groceries. Whether or not you can see a doctor. Look, I have a medical degree from Columbia University. He's got issues with my credentials. He could take it up with them. But it's not really about me. It's about whether or not you can see your doctor. It's about whether or not you trust your next US Senator. Stand up to Trump and Trump isn't. But when you're running because Donald Trump called you and asked you to run, you can tell he's not going to stand up to anybody. 30 seconds. Very, very strange. I have a medical degree from Columbia. Nobody argues that. We've been saying that forever. You have literally called yourself a physician, which is a problem because you're not. And Michigan, you need to wake up and realize he's been lying to your face.
What my friend here just wants to do is he's kind of like a glitchy AI chatbot is say the same thing over and over and over again. But let me tell you this. He has taken money from groups associated and support the Muslim brother. He has taken money from individuals on his campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, El Qaeda. He's taken money from the George Souriel family. What we found out is that this thing goes way back. Apparently they paid for his education in Columbia. Now they're paying for his campaign. By the way, that's a billionaires last I checked. What degree did I get in Columbia? I mean, think about that. What Rogers just said will not be denied by El Sayed. What did you say it won't be denied? I'm sorry. Who would who would it help's voting for this guy? Hey Michigan, honestly, I know that there are concentrations of people who religiously or like him in Dearborn and Hamtramic. You're telling me that they're going to somehow control how this state goes. That Mike Rogers, a guy that you've known for 30 plus years, a deep Michigan there against this guy who's
will just say anything that he thinks he has to say to get elected. Come on now. Let's be better than that. Interate 941 Pags. Interate 941-7247-JillPags.com. I continue with Dustin Greggie. Part 2 coming up. Give it here. Joe Pags. Ryan Reynolds here from Mid-Mobile. The message for everyone paying big wireless way too much. Please for the love of everything good in this world. Stop. With Mid, you can get premium wireless for just $15 a month. Of course, if you enjoy overpay, no judgments, but that's weird. Okay, one judgment. Anyway, give it a try at MidMobile.com slash switch.

Medicalization, massive fraud. Why is that happening in Minnesota specifically? Is it about the top three in the government? Is it about something else? Are they ignorant to the fraud? Are they involved in the fraud? Now, part 2 with Dustin Greggie. He's got the answers you want on the Joe Pags show. This has a potential to be a blowout. If you put it that way, because they know who Keith Ellison is, and they're still not backing him. They just need to know who Ron Schütz is, who's the current candidate running. And he's been labeled a top 200 attorney in the country. That's what he was named, I believe, by Forbes. If I have the magazine correct. But also in the state auditor's race, Joe, someone you're familiar with, Dr. Scott Jensen, he ran for governor last time. He has great name ID. So currently, he's up seven points in the polls. Now, I do think that's going to level out a little bit simply because he has a lot of name ID and his opponent doesn't. But his favorables look solid. I think we potentially have two right there. Now, Michelle Tafoya.
This is the big one, I think, will be like, will this really potentially have an opportunity to be a wave election in Minnesota? Currently, the top pollster, public pollster. So it's not internals we're talking about. An a-rated independent pollster. Currently has this race tied for US Senate. It is tied between the two. And why is that? It's because of the fraud. Peggy Flanagan was the number two individual in the state. And also, remember, Tim Walls, he actually ended up going running for vice president. So during that time, Peggy Flanagan was the de facto governor running this state while a lot of this fraud was also occurring and when it started to really balloon. So these people are dramatically not popular right now because of the failures they have all instilled. And also, to point this out too, because we've mentioned how Amy Clovis-Shars could be next governor. I do think she's the hardest one to beat. I do think that. However, her best, her worst election was last time
against Rice White, who is a terrible candidate. Her best, her worst election ever came against. Our probably our worst nominee we've ever had for the White Office, just being blunt. She had her worst election, 16 points she won by. Now, currently, it is pulling within single digits. I've seen anywhere from losing by eight or down by only two points. So she's vulnerable. Last, this last January, I exposed an earmark, actually, that Amy Clovis-Shar had tried to invest a million dollars into a Somali non-profit. And once we passed that on with Chipproy, Mike Lee, as well as some other freedom caucus leaning members of Congress, we ended up basically stopping the thing. Now, the organization is under investigation and get this show. One of the family members who is related to the owners of that non-profit has connections to ISIS. No, no way. She is not a wash clean of the fraud.
She also is responsible when California banks were shutting down transfers from America to Somalia. She wrote a letter to Obama, the administration, to actually bring forth new legislation so the money could keep flowing. I mean, this was legal channels in their minds like they're thinking, well, it's just Somalis who are working hard, making money and they want to send money over to their family. You know, good intentions. But let's be honest, Joe, a lot of that money probably went to Al Shabab. We have no idea what the intentions are. We can't track that money. Why were they sending so much of it in cash? Because it's untraceable. I want to go back to Peggy Flanagan, if I can. And again, I think Amy Clovis-Shar plays the role of a next-door neighbor. I'm a minister. I think she plays that role better than anybody else. So maybe that's why she's doing better. I hope she loses. That'd be great. But Peggy Flanagan, can you tell me why 46 or 48% would even support her knowing that she's the one that will claim to be Catholic, then throws on a heat job when it becomes,
you know, obvious that she should, standing next to her, a really good friend from Somalia. Or why would anybody vote for somebody that says, trans lives matter with a knife on her shirt? Why would anybody vote for this person who just shows hatred for the American way and will bend over backwards for anybody who's not from here? Why would she be even in the race? Is what blows my mind? It's not 40% or 50% Somalia or Somalian in Minnesota. Why are there so many far left-wing nut jobs that think that she somehow is the choice? As she oversaw the fraud. As she did all the things that I just said, why would that be? I mean, just put a blunt, uh, Joe, math. There are more Democrats in the state than there are Republicans. I mean, that's just a simple reality. Now, the good news, Joe, is, you know, rational thinking people who use critical thinking, independence and Republicans who maybe want to show up in this race. Independence, Michelle Tafoy is leading very well in. She is leading very well with enthusiasm among Republicans. A lot of moderate Democrats are even thrown off by this race,
because Angie Craig, she raised $10 million in the DFL primary against Peggy Flanagan. There was a lot of moderate Democrats who are very upset right now. And I'm a couple of them have told me even like, yeah, I'm going to stick it to Peggy. I'm going to vote Republican on this specific race, but I'll vote Amy and I'll vote Keith on these other ones because I'm just so disenfranchised. Now, how big of a pool is that? You know, I don't think it's that significant. But there are a group of people out there who are disenfranchised as Democrats. They're disenfranchised as independence. And Republicans, very specifically, because there's not nearly as many Republicans and also keep in mind, we've bled a lot of Republicans to Florida, Texas, down with you in San Antonio. We've lost tens of thousands of Republican votes to red states because they got, they couldn't afford it anymore. They couldn't stand it anymore. So they left. So we're at a little bit more of a disadvantage, but in a midterm, it's all about actually voter
enthusiasm. Yes. And Joe, they're pissed off. Good. They are ready for change election. I do think we're going to have a good turnout for Republicans. And if the independence actually do show out for us, that is our path to victory. It's Dustin Gregig. Dustin, you actually exposed or found or got 12,000 deleted tweets by Peggy Flanagan. What can we glean from that? What first of all, why did she delete them? And what do we find out about her when we see the deleted files? Well, you see a lot of, she's way ahead of the curve on woke one. I mean, we hate Thanksgiving over a decade ago. We were against border funding. We are, gosh, what was it? Columbus was a genocidal freak and an idiot who just happened to, you know, there's a lot of that stuff. There's a lot of woke one. And she was ahead of the curve on a lot of it. Pocahontas is a slur. So on so forth. But I think the bigger story here, Joe, and because also she got progressed,
because I read from beginning to end on all those, she was getting progressively worse and worse as time went on. We're still missing the last five, six years of tweets. We're still missing 8,000 of them. So we don't know what those ones say yet. So we're trying to recover those. But, you know, back when she was just like a petty staffer working on some campaigns, this is what we have right now with those 12,000 tweets that we've uncovered. But really the big story here is why did she delete it? She knew she was about to run for US Senate. Well, anybody in the media there? It's her entire short of you and short of Liz Collin. Well, anybody in the media in Minnesota, go up to her with a microphone and say, why did you delete those 12,000 tweets? Well, anybody asked her that? I haven't had it. I've been bullying some of these reporters in Minnesota going, why won't you actually talk about this? Especially because then keep this in mind, Joe. Michelle Tafoyah came out at one point and said, you know, I'm kind of embarrassed to Minnesota. I'm embarrassed to the fraud, Yediata, Yediata. So CNN wrote a big story on it. They're like,
oh, US Senator candidate hates their state. And she deleted three tweets, I think. Okay, you're upset she deleted three tweets that she was ashamed of the fraud and embarrassed of all of these national stories. But Peggy Flannigan can delete 20,000 tweets and nobody bats an eye? It's Democrat privilege, Joe. And that's the unfortunate reality we're facing. But the good news, as you know, I mean, a lot of reason why people know even know who my name is, is I was a guy who knew a lot about Tim Wilson once he ran for Vice President. I also kind of went up there on the national stage and I took all the Oppo and all the stuff I collected as an operative over a decade and experienced it with the Republican Party and people went, well, what is all of this stuff? Tampons in bathrooms. He's visited China 30 times. He's lying about his location where he was in China. We were losing nuclear records after he visits China. I mean, all of this stuff that broke out.
And we now we have a megaphone now. Tim Walls gave Minnesota Republicans a platform on the national stage. So now when Nick Shirley comes to town and Nick Sorter, another good friend of the slaughtered here, we're able to actually expose this stuff. We actually have a microphone. We have a seat at the table. And that's why it's so much harder for these Democrats to get reelected now in the state. And, you know, I think it was a good thing that Tim Walls ran nationally because now we have an opportunity to actually push back and win the state. Maybe again. That'd be amazing. It's Dustin Gregie. Go to Gregie Dustin over on x. Go to Dustin Gregie.com. Go to townhold.com. I want to finish with the fraud. Dustin, who must have known about the fraud for to get so expansive? Would it have been walls, Flanagan? Would it have been Keith Ellison? Who had to have known and who had to have either turned a blind eye or maybe would have been complicit for this to get as broad as it became? I mean, the big three, I mean, just being blunt. It's Tim Walls.
It's Peggy Flanagan's Keith Ellison specifically because yeah, that's the administration. And they knew this was coming in. You know what? I'm going to mention it now. I was going to tweet this out maybe on Monday. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow now. But I actually have a recording. I've been going back and watching Peggy Flanagan's committee hearings. And I actually have an audio only. They didn't have video for this committee hearing, but it's audio only. Peggy Flanagan was a part of a children's development committee as a state representative. So she's a state rep. She's going to go in to be the lieutenant governor. She's overseen this committee where a lot of the C cap fraud, child care funding basically. Right. She's known about the fraud. She's known about specifically the daycare fraud. And we had a whistleblower come into that committee and say, the next administration coming in, what are you going to do? This is a problem. I will die on this hill. This and it to quote this has the potential to be Minnesota's Watergate direct quote from Scott Stillman is the name of the whistle
blower. He was a analyst with the Minnesota government. And one of the Republicans looks over. Well, good news, Scott, you know, will forward this recording over to Peggy, a member of this committee. But as you can see, she's not here is what the recording says. She's not in the room. She's not in her committee. She's about to go in to be the next lieutenant governor. And we have a whistleblower saying, there's massive fraud in daycare in Minnesota. She knew about the fraud Joe. And they did nothing. And really the big thing that really blew this up is because all these mechanisms of fraud, they were in place. It was the daycare fraud. It was the autism fraud. It was all of this variation of it. But the moment COVID hit Joe, it bloomed. It just expanded at an exponential rate. And that's how we got to nine 10 billion plus in fraud. That's how we ended up getting there. And yeah, they had no guardrails to the point where, you know, the feeding our future fraud. They were directing
these addresses of the, you know, the DBA, DBAs and DLLC. They were just empty parking lots, Joe. How are you distributing thousands of meals a day in empty parking lots? Did they feed anybody? There was no oversight on this stuff. Did they feed anybody? Did anybody get any food? There was no, and this, and so this is a good distinction too. Why did feed our future get caught? Nobody was being fed Joe. It was so easy and blunt. But the real fraud that, you know, is, how do we get to nine plus billion? How do we get there? Well, Joe Thompson, who was a Democrat, by the way, who was in the US attorney's office prior to now? Joe Tayrab is the new first assistant US attorney in Minnesota now. Great guy, just talked to them a little bit ago. Joe Thompson specifically says the fraud we really actually have to watch out for is the overcharging and underserving Medicaid, Medicare fraud. So much harder to catch. You actually do have
three beds in your in-home facility, but you're charging for seven people, or you're overbilling, you're, you're treating them as if they're vegetables, but they're actually functional. They're walking to the gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes. This is the fraud that we really have to dig into next. It's really easy for Nick Shirley to walk up to a billion go, why the hell does this say leering center on it? Are there any kids in here? It's really easy to catch that stuff. The big one we're going to have to go after next Joe is these people who provide some services, but they overcharge everything. This is where the real fraud is happening. So that's what we're going to have to dig into next. Let me ask you one last question. Dustin, I appreciate all the time today. We're going to make two parts out of this for the radio audience. We'll put it up on YouTube later. The last question has to be this. Why? Why would Tim Walls, Peggy Flanagan and Keith Ellison want to be either ignorant of it or somehow involved in it? Is there any sort of a way to track
the money to see if they or their campaigns or anybody else got any of that money? Because they don't have anything to gain from it. They just love fraud. There's no reason to do this if they're not enriching themselves somehow. What do we know on that end of anything? Well, you just have to have your eyes look at it and analyze it just honestly and bluntly. Mayor Frye, he had staffers that were involved in peanut feature. Ilhan Omar also had staffers involved with this. Peggy Flanagan, one of her longtime friends, a couple decades going back. Her autism centers now under investigation. All of these people, they are specifically only coordinated and aligned with Democrats. It's only Democrats. This isn't happening with Republican politicians. And you just have to say, well, if it sounds like a duck and it looks like a duck, it's probably a duck Joe. There's probably something there now how to prove that. That's a completely different sphere we have to enter at this point. But we have to at least make our voices heard in November.
I'm going to be blunt Joe. If Republicans lose all of it again, I don't know if we can recover. I just honestly don't know if we can. I've heard too many stories of, you know, we're thinking about moving. We're on our last straw. I don't know how we're going to be able to pay these increasing property taxes and if Democrats win, they're going to be emboldened. They're going to be like, look, we can get away with. And they're just going to keep it going. I just don't think it's going to go away. So we have to address it first off, we're most with this upcoming election. We have to send a message as voters that, hey, this is baloney. It's malarkey. We have to cut through this and actually solve it. But, you know, part of it's also just, you know, turn a blind eye. I mean, just to be blunt, also, the small community, they vote for Democrats. If you as Democrats now go against that community and you start actually enforcing the law, maybe they're going to stop supporting you. Maybe they won't vote for Republicans, but maybe they'll stop showing up for you. Maybe it's going to be harder to canvas their neighborhoods because the clans aren't going to work with you
because also, you know, none of them are assimilating or at least a very small amount or they'll just pretend to not speak English. I had plenty of friends who would walk up to Somali businesses. They'd start talking to them realize a white guy's talking to them. So then they start talking in French. But then, of course, Joe, the journalist knows how to speak French too. Start speaking French and then they just shut down and they walk in the bedroom. So this is real stuff. They'll just shut down and they won't vote for you anymore. So there's also a power structure there. But yeah, it's all of the above, Joe. We just got to use our eyes, use our ears. If it looks like a squirrel, it sounds like a squirrel. It's probably a squirrel. It's Dustin Greggio. We appreciate the time and the access. Let's do it again before the midterms. I want to make sure the people of Minnesota and around the country are completely in the know about what's going on in that great state. Dustin, thanks a million. Appreciate you. Thanks, Joe.
