Speaker 1 (00:13):
Our three Twin City's news talk.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hey, I'm eleven thirty one oh three five FM from
the sixty five to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios.
My name is John Justice, and I'm glad you went
the show this morning. And the master control booth next
door is sam And holy cow, I can't even see
anything outside.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I wonder it was so dark so late.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Is it still foggy out there? Yeah, I can't see it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I can see the building next door. That's about it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You know what I can't see is good radio, because
this is awful radio. Right, I'm not even paying a
picture at all. Be careful if you're out on the
roadways right now, it's got to be sketchy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We're gonna talk more frog coming up in just a moment.
I have some shocking numbers to get you reacquainted with.
I'm looking at a post that I pulled offline where
somebody said the numbers relating to the fraud in the
state of Minnesota are apocalyptic.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And we have a brand new story that we'll dive into.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Lack of security reviews left Minnesota Snap system vulnerable to
breaches and fraud. All right, A man who I pretty
sure wants to go and do something about everything that
we're discussing on the show.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This morning.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Phillip, a Parish gubernatorial candidate, joins me this morning. Good morning, Philip,
thank you so much for coming on the show. How
are we doing today?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Good morning, Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Listen, if you were to go and win the governor's race,
what is one of the first priorities that you would
take regarding addressing the issue of the ramp and fraud
here in the state of Minnesota. Like if I were
running for office right now, Philip, I would be questioning
whether or not I would even want to attempt to
go and tackle the state of which we are currently
(02:01):
in under Governor Tim Wallas. But I'm curious what your
priorities would be to go and deal with these with
these ongoing issues.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Very very deliberate plan, with a very good group of
associates I've had in the military for a very long time,
we can get after the fraud very quickly. We'll have
a team set up ready to audit and pull every
piece of data possible and start pulling together together all
(02:30):
the threads that I've alluded to in my reco referral
and my recent posts that you might have seen. So
we have a good team. We have a really powerful
set of individuals that I've known for decades. They're very
good at what they do, and we're going to be
pulling on this thread till all of them are in jail.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Now, you previously ran for governor in twenty eighteen. Let's
back up a little bit for those that may not
be as familiar as with you. It's a word is
familiar with you from your time running for governor in
twenty eighteen, Philippa Parrish. Give us a bit of a
bit of your background and decision to go and run again.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
So I came off of my last set of orders
working with special Forces out of Fort Bragg. I was
put in DC in a suit and tie to and
follow the money work, which led to, yes, you might imagine,
interestingly enough, a lot of threads and connections to Minnesota.
Guess where all the money's coming from. Well that can't be, Commander,
(03:32):
that just can't be. How is that true? Well you
see that cornfield there, there's no daycare in the middle
of that cornfield, and so on and so forth. So
I came back from my last set of orders in
twenty seventeen, and some special operators pulled me aside and
just about the throat choked me to death. Don't you
let this go? Tell everybody you can, and I became
(03:53):
a whistleblower. In twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I filed
for governor and ran, and the biggest mission was telling
the truth and trying to get people to understand what
all was going on. Pass forward, we've all been starting
to see the reality of what's been going on all along.
And November of twenty four my wife and I were
(04:14):
talking about a list of things, especially concerns about our
children and our schools, and we just I woke up
and said, we just got to do this again. We
just cannot let this go. We got to keep talking
to people about how bad this is. And by the
grace of God in the Holy Spirit, we finally have
people nationwide talking about this again, and that's a blessing.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
How has the response been so far?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
As we talkle with gubernatorial candidate to Phillip Perish on
your run for the governor's office, how has the response
been so far? We have a lot of candidates that
have announced their intention to run or are running already.
We believe there are other individuals that are still going
to announce and get into this crowded field. I'm just
curious to hear what you're hearing when you're talking with
(05:00):
potential voters.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Been hearing very good things. I've been out on the
road since April of this year. We've clocked in well
over ten thousand miles, one hundred events plus, not just
events with the typical traditional VTOU meetings, but also just
my own events. Good people really concern Actually some whistleblowers
(05:25):
that have been coming to me, and I've coached them
and encouraged them how to do what needs to be
done through proper channels. And then eventually those people will
be coming more forward. As we gain momentum with my
campaign and then take office, these people will start being
a key part of how we get to the whole truth.
(05:48):
So the mood on the ground is very interesting, though,
compared to twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen, as you might remember,
John I was treated very poorly. I even had death
threats because of the the whistle on the daycare fraud.
And so the mood is much better. It's much healthier,
that there's a real appetite across the across the board,
(06:11):
regardless the race colored creed across the board, there's an
appetite for just tell us the truth and and get
the government off our backs and and let us let
us live again. So there's a really good positive mood
out there on the ground.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Talking with goubernatial candidate Philip Parish. Give it to your
background in in your knowledge of the fraud and having
you know, been a whistleblower and been privy to a
lot of this before it was widely discussed and become
as systemic as it has as it has become. I
guess I want to ask how how fixable is this problem?
(06:46):
I mean, it seems as if at this point like
everything's going to need to be upended in order to
root out and to stop this fraud from from taking place.
I'm just curious your perspective. I mean, the the issue,
it's gotten so big it makes me wonder, I mean,
how not just how do we fix it? But can
we can we actually fix it?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yes, we absolutely can fix it, and it's going to
require almost a military tactic plan, tactical plan to do it,
which sounds a little bit like an over the top analogy.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But that's essentially how I'm.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Approaching all of this as military planning. It's the basic
principles are the same. We have a situation where we're
trying to root out essentially, it's kind of a counterinsurgency practice,
if you can imagine the analogy. But we have to
go after multiple layers of this, and in sadly, I
(07:43):
wrote an article this morning about our very corrupt judicial system.
It's going to have to include outside help because now
we have judiciary, you know, just giving very bad criminals
to slap on the roofs while our children starve, literally,
and then they take a victory lap about all the
money that they're getting to everyone. But yet that goes
(08:04):
in the pockets of nothing new. We were reporting for
a long time how this money was supporting terrorism. And
it's not just terrorism in the way of what people
might think with war. There's terrorism in many different levels.
Here just the sheer corruption of infecting our judicial system
with how many times did we see in the last
(08:25):
couple of years how we had people compromised by hey,
don't do this, and here's some money to not talk.
So these things are real. It's not hyperbole. And we
can go after each of these layers in a way
that's sensible and I'm really really approaching it literally like
a military planning and operation.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Would you make a good point there, And it provides
me the opportunity to add some commentary that that I
haven't done yet, and that is, it's almost ridiculous that
it takes reporting of taxpayer dollars being funneled to a
terrorist organization Al Shabab in Somalia to raise further awareness
(09:06):
of what is taking place. I mean, quite honestly, the
fact that the amount of money through the fraud is
being funneled out of the state at all. I mean,
before we even get to we shouldn't have to get
to it's landing in the hands of terrorists for the
red flags to go off. Wherein this money should be
staying here in the state of Minnesota. And it's and
(09:28):
it's not even the money that's not just going to
fund terrorist organizations.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And yet this is where we this is where we
are where it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Takes this extreme example to sort of wake everybody, to
wake everybody up. I mean, even to the point of
the you know, the Trump administration. I know people have
been reaching out and telling them that. But it really
does again paints oblique picture of how bad things have
gotten that it takes something that extreme to go and
raise awareness to this ongoing issue.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Philip.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, and you paint a good context as to the
deep frustration that myself and my colleagues have had for
you know, a long time. Now. We're going on a
decade of doing file the money work and telling people, hey,
here's what's going on, and here's the who, what, when, where? Why? Oh, Commander,
that can't be true. That's just not possible. Sorry, ma'am,
(10:17):
sorry sir, but this is what's been going on, and
why aren't you listening to us? And you know, thus
the choke hold before I left my last to the borders,
phil don't you dare let this go? And it's just
been it's been a bit of a quite honestly, John,
it's been a bit of a night mare at times
over the last since twenty seventeen. But we just get
(10:37):
up every day, my wife and I we just carry
on and we just keep trying to tell people like
you and people across the state, you know, what's been
going on all along, And you're right, it's just completely
insane that we have to get to this point where
finally somebody's listening, Yeah, you're funding terrorism. When we were
telling people that there were hundred millions, hundreds of millions
of dollars coming out of the Minneapolis International Airport, landing
(11:00):
in the Netherlands and going straight into the Hawala network
with you know, people thought we were nutcases. But the
fact is that it's been true all along, and now
we're at a different time in history though where your
radio program, media x profiles, I'm seeing it on even
(11:21):
on Facebook and YouTube's even letting up a bit and
letting some of this stuff play. Most of what I
talked about in twenty eighteen, it was like I was
screaming in the middle of a forest and the only
person that could the only thing that could hear me
was a squirrel.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Fell a parish again running for governor. The website is
Parish p A R R I S H the number
four MN dot com. I want to thank you for
your time this morning, looking forward to the next time
you and I can talk, and maybe we can we
can branch out a little bit further beyond the fraud.
But I really do appreciate the insight this morning and
(11:57):
thank you so much for joining joining the show.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Anything you like to say before I.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Let you go.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Thanks a lot, John, and keep fighting out there. Don't
let anybody you know discourage you. God bless y'all and
keep fighting. God bless America, God bless Minnesota. Will see
y'all soon.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Thank you, Philip.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
We're going to get to some of your talkbacks are
brought to you by Lindall Realty on the iHeartRadio app.
In just a moment, the City Journal investigation by Christopher Ruffo,
who was the other guest that joined me on Laura
Ingram last night and Ryan Thorpe confirmed what whistleblowers have
been screaming about for years, individuals like Philip Parrish. I'm
going to bring you some of the data points you
(12:34):
need to know, and then we'll turn our.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Attention over to how the agency that oversaw.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Minnesota's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program did not perform required security
reviews of a computer system that was critical to the
program's operation. Let's get to some of your comments. Talkbacks
(13:04):
brought to you by Lindahl Realty from the iHeartRadio app.
As we continue the show this morning from the sixty
five to one Carpet plus Next Day Install studios just
got off the phone with gubernatorial candidate Philip A.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Parish. Really enjoyed that conversation. Some of you did as well.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I'm an independent, but I have to say that the
current prop of candidates on the Republicans side running the
governor demonstrate their far more capable than the other side,
and they would win handily if it was based upon
merits and competency. But unfortunately there are too many voters
(13:45):
like Phil and Eric in Minnesota that seemed to overwhelm
the system along with a fraud. But good luck Republicans.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That said, not all of the voters like Phil and
Eric go and vote.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
At election time.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I want to expand upon that because it keeps with
my mentality that I have heading into next year's elections.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Speaking of which, let's go here.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Good morning, John Say, your guest candidate for governor on
the Republican side was really solid this morning. I'm just
hoping that whoever gets the nomination, I should say, Whoeber
gets endorsed and when's the primary, if there is any,
is supported by all the Republicans in the.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
State, as we yes unity in that matter to win.
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No, you are absolutely correct. I will keep beating this
a couple of drums, and I have multiple drums. I'm
gonna beat them all. The one drum i'm gonna beat
that I've been beating a lot this week is the governor.
Tim Walls needs to resign. I don't have any expectation
that he's going to, but what I'm hoping is that
the calls grow loud enough to where he can no
(15:03):
longer remain silent on the issues that we've been talking
about since late last week into this morning, and why
I went on Fox News last night, and what Laura
and Fox News have been covering since last week as
well with these latest fraud revelations.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So I'm going to keep beating that drum.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm also going to keep beating the drum that there
is no debating now with Democrats and that Republicans need
to be solely focused on turning out voters. The candidates.
Differentiate yourself from one another. Explain your case why you
want to be at the top of the ticket, why
(15:42):
you want to be the nominee. I don't care what position,
but in this case, we're talking about the governorship. But
don't destroy your competitor in the process. And the same
thing rings true for voters. Support the individuals you want
to support, respect your fellow Conservatives candidates, even if you
(16:03):
don't agree, and make your case, but be respectful, and
then whoever is chosen to be the nominee coalesce around
that individuals and get as many people out to vote
as possible. All you have to do is increase the
number of individuals who are eligible to legally go and vote,
and you can win elections. There is no debating with
the left right now. Look at that Aten Bean lunatic
(16:27):
that we've been talking about in Tennessee. Now, she doesn't
have a good shot to win, it's more than likely
an incredibly safe GOP seat. But that person represents your
typical Democrat right now, Senator Reuben Diego, his lunacy, the
seditious six in that video. There's no debating with them,
(16:49):
there's no rationalizing with them.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Look at the.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Way that Democrats here in Minnesota have reacted to all
this fraud.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
The voters are concerned about this.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I don't care which political party you belong to, you're
not down with fraud. Unfortunately, too many on the left
buy into the arguments that are put out by radicals
like Johan Omar and Keith Ellison. This has all happened
under Governor Tim Walls's watch.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh and to that.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Point, as we move into voting season here for the
next year, remember on this fraud that has been occurring
has been occurring under Tim Walls and every single Democrat
they all voted in goostep with Timmy Walls. They are
all complicit in all the fraud that's going on. So
(17:42):
when you walk into that voting booth, start voting to
benefit the state of.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Missol arm yourself with irrelevant data.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Autism Medicaid spending exploded from three million to three hundred
and ninety nine million in five years. That is a
thirteen two hundred percent increase. Autism service providers jump from
forty one to three hundred and twenty eight, a seven
hundred percent increase, many linked to the same networks. Minnesota
Housing Stabilization Services program was so overrun with fraud that
(18:14):
the state to shut it down entirely. Feeding our Future
stole three hundred million meant to feed hungry children, the
largest pandemic meal fraud in America.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And while it's not fraud.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It sure felt like it when the state had a
twelve billion dollars surplus and we didn't get any of
it back. And in that time when that happened between
twenty nineteen and twenty twenty four, the Minnesota Chamber of
Commerce itself says that Minnesota is failing every single relevant
economic metric. Arm yourself with that data, memorize it, have
(18:53):
your own little mental script going so that anytime you
have a conversation and somebody is talking.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
About well, they might go and through my support by
Governor Tim.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Wolves, you have that file accessible in your brain to
pull up and go. You might want to think twice
about before you head to the voting booth to vote
for the guy who's constantly lied to the American public,
was rejected by the rest of the country, still commits
his stolen valor, all of which happened under his watch,
(19:28):
which is why he needs to resign. More of your
talkbacks coming up in just a moment, including your talkback
of the day. In twenty twenty and again in twenty
twenty three, the state of Federal Single Audits found the
Minnesota Department of Human Services did not complete a recent
information system security review of the system that determines who
(19:50):
is eligible to receive SNAP benefits. Also under Governor Tim
Walls's watch, the lack of security reviews left Minnesota in
the SNAP system vulnerable to breed and fraud. We'll get
to this also next here on t Wednesday's News Talk
AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
This is k W from the great City of Minneapolis,
a friend of the show with a different perspective. You know,
I think those on the right underestimate disdain for Donald J.
Trump and the midterms that would bring out the voters
and Democrats. The dayfl instate of Minnesota is going to
(20:39):
win and win big.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Have a great day of everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I appreciate kW. Not a foe. They not agree with me,
but he's rational.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Now I disagree with a couple of things here, respectfully speak.
I do not under estimate the disdain for Donald Trump.
For crying out loud, I mean the show has become
a place where we highlight the disdain of Donald Trump
from the radicals on the left. But this goes back
to what I was mentioning before on how we win elections,
(21:15):
and that is you just have to increase the voter
turnout of the eligible individuals.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I had somebody.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Again yesterday send me their concerns putting it mildly of
the flyers that they've been receiving to be put on
the permanent absentee voter list.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Do not be concerned over that.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You are correct in your initial assessment of oh, why
am I being asked to be put on the permanent
absentee voter list.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
This is a conservative movement.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It is a Trump supporting organization that I believe is
sanctioned by Trump out of Colorado that is in charge
of that effort, and it is a means to get
as many people registered to go and vote heading in
the next year's midterms. It is another attempt by Republicans
(22:03):
to do something different than what they've done in the past,
which is partly but largely responsible for Trump winning the
election last year. So don't be concerned when you see
those sliders. You can decide for yourself whether or not
you want to be on the permanent absent de voter list,
but it's not for you. For those individuals that don't
want to see that or don't want to be on
(22:24):
the permanent absentee voter list, that is for potential voters
who lean Republican or Conservative that may not go out
and vote as often to get them on the permanent
absentee voter list, to make sure that we can get
those individuals to go and vote. But I'm aware of
(22:44):
the disdain for Donald Trump, which is why, again, it's
about the voter.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
The voter turnout.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now when it comes to the DFL in the state
of Minnesota, going to win and win big. The win
big part is the other thing I'm going to push
back on. It's minute, but the DFL, it depends on
your definition of big. But they're not winning by wide margins.
They're winning by slim majorities. So you can say they
win and win big in terms of they won the
elections and now they have power, but they're not winning
(23:10):
by these massive margins. So I wanted to make sure
I clarified that because I don't want to give off
this impression that it is a lost cause for Republicans
to win elections in the state.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
We just have to put our own differences aside within
the conservative movement and make sure that you encourage individuals
to go and vote.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Why do you.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Think they're fighting so hard right now against what's taking
place with the exposure of the ramp and fraud here
in Minnesota. Why do you think that they are singularly
focused on calling everybody a racist who dares to go
and just speak to the facts of these issues. Because
they know that if there is headway made in cramping
(23:54):
down on this fraud, that you could see a change
in population density here Minnesota of certain demographics. That would
certainly be the case, although not enough to make a
difference in the elections, but certainly would be the case
when it comes to the temporary protection status. But for
(24:15):
those individuals that are swept up in that it is temporary,
it was going to expire in March. And it's not
just those individuals. There are families, and they're large families
attached to those individuals as well. But this is why
you hear from Ellison and Ilhan Omar and threatening of
lawsuits and Omar saying they're ignorant Trump voters. They are
(24:37):
trying to continue to shore up support for their base
of voters that they desperately need because they don't win
by huge margins. Or before we go any further, let's
get to your talkback of the day. Your talkback of
the day is brought to you by Mini Leaf m
I nn l EAF dot com, minileaf dot com.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
John as your boys here you here from Lacresse and Minnesota.
Great coverage this morning.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
The question is why isn't Homeland Security on all this
lship bob fraud that's coming out of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Doesn't seem crazy that our money, our tax sellers are
going to terrorists and nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Why isn't this more of a federal Ask about that?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Guys, have a good one.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Should have that rubbing looked at by a doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Terry is your talk back of the day brought to
you by minileafan minileaf dot com Again m I n
n e l EAF dot com. Head on over to
the website. So to address his comment, how do we
know they're not? This was only just revealed last week
on Thursday through Christopher Rufo. The other reporters involved kept
(25:42):
the sheet here. Ryan Thorpe City Journal. The federal government
moves slow. We would like to see them move swiftly,
but they move slow. We have the Congressional Republican leadership
reaching out to the Attorney General asking him to come
and investigate. You have those in the legislature that are
(26:03):
also coming in right behind them asking them to investigate.
And we know it's on Donald Trump's radar because he
wants to ENDTPS, so it remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
We get you into.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
January next year, and we haven't heard anything January February
because we are heading into the holidays and things slow down.
Then let's go ahead and revisit the federal government not
looking into what's taking place here in the world of
NASCAR right now, it's being rocked. There's a lawsuit between
(26:36):
the NASCAR race team owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.
They've been embroiled in this lawsuit with NASCAR. Without getting
into all the specifics because it gets really detailed, but
it's basically fairness issues relating to the money that is
shared when it comes to the broadcasts, the charter system
(26:56):
that NASCAR has deployed. In all of this, through the
trial that's gearing up to take place, all these text
all these texts have been released from the heads of
NASCAR talking about really prominent NASCAR race owners like Richard Childress.
I mean, he goes all the way back to the
Dale Earnhardt Senior days. And these are egregious text exchanges
(27:21):
of the CEOs with the NASCAR, just ridiculously ripping these
individuals that made this sport what it is from the
competition side of things. I only bring this up because
I've seen complaints of people online going where are all
the Because most of the NASCAR, the really high profile
NASCAR individuals, they host podcasts. Denny Hamlin, Dale Junior, Kevin Harvick,
(27:45):
they all host their weekly podcasts. Everything is slowing down
because of the holidays. But I saw a post why
aren't they talking about this? Why aren't their podcasts? Why
are they all silent? It's like, dude, the podcasts even
haven't even been released this week. The information just became
available like three days ago. These things they take, they
take time. I know you would like to see swift justice.
(28:05):
But for as much as I love movies even I
know that life doesn't move at a minute movies pace
by any stretch whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
That all right, that's a lot, that's lots of process there.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I just saw you look at the me. I didn't
know if you win the chime in.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I'm listening. I'm listening to it all. I forgot to
get my corkboard up with the red strings, so I'll
work on that.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Well, you make the podcast titles, so you have to
pay attention to this stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm trying to. That's why I'm trying to keep it online.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Let's go here.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
The fact that k W used the term disdain for
Trump cruise that we don't longer vote for people because
of policy.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
We vote because of personality.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Well, you're you're I'll stop there. You make a great point,
but that's the left. You know, Republicans are still voting
for personality, I mean, excuse me, or for policy, which
is why you can't argue policy and issues when it
comes to Democrats. Right now, so let's get into this.
We have some time left from Channel five, the agency
(29:12):
that oversaw minnesota supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program did not perform
required security reviews of a computer system, which is critical
to the program's operation, according to the audits. Here's a
bit of the story from a Channel five on this issue.
Speaker 10 (29:28):
Until Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the program distributes nearly
seventy million dollars in benefits each month in Minnesota alone.
Well five investigates has uncovered audits that show the state
did not perform required security checks of the computer system
that determines who is eligible to receive this money. It
is a discovery that has SNAP recipients like Mattel hall
(29:52):
Bestli been worried about the safety of his personal data.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, that was a bit from a Channel five. According
to the audits, the failure to perform those checks could
allow security gaps or vulnerabilities of the system to go undetected,
which can increase the risk of a security breach or fraud,
which means that there probably has been at this point
(30:15):
in time. I mean, we just have to assume that
it's fraudulent. I just assume that almost all of these
social service programs are filled with fraud at this point
in time. Every single one of them needs a top
to bottom comprehensive review.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh but wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Last week there was a bill filed banning SNAP dollars
from being spent at fast food restaurants. Senator Joni Ernst
sut In the alarm that over five hundred million has
been spent on fast food across multiple states in just
the last two years. Five hundred and twenty four million
of taxpayer dollars spent on fast food through SNAP alone.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
What we have found is that within the SNAP program
there is a way for certain states to apply for
programs that allow those SNAP dollars to go to fast
food restaurants. There are currently nine states that allow that.
And what we have found is in just the last
two years taxpayer dollars going into SNAP, those SNAP dollars
(31:28):
of the amount of five hundred and twenty four million
dollars was spent on fast food. We know that we
have health issues across the board here in the United
States of America. Those SNAP dollars, and I'll remind everybody
that the N in SNAP stands for nutrition should not
be going to fast food.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Stands for nutrition. That's right. Want to find that out.
It shouldn't be going to that.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
It also underscores just how big and complex these problems
are and how difficult it is to root them out.
This is why I've been so appreciative of Trump this
second term. I think it's in large part because he's
aware and has been aware all of this year of
the first year of his term, that he needs to
get a lot done heading into next year because the
(32:16):
midterms are going to be crucial, especially if he wants
to continue to move forward to put the country back
on the correct track. But you've got to make these big,
why to sweeping moves to get it done, because we
spent far too much time just you know, just tinkering
at it, just needling around the edges, tinkering around.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
The edges, whatever you know, word usage we want to
have for not doing enough.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
As Amy Klobushar says, you know, we need to do
it with a scalpel. No, we need a hatchet, We
need a hammer. Sometimes we need nuclear bombs just to
go and blow up certain sectors of our government to
root out the corruption and frojake place.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
This is where we are here when.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It comes to the fraud here in Minnesota. Speaking of
fast food, Wendy's. Couldn't tell you the last time I
had Wendy's. No, Sam's shaking his head too. I haven't
had Wendy's.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I used to enjoy Wendy's quite a bit. Actually they're square.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Uh cheeseburger is like the square patties, Like I can
I can picture it. I'm almost salivating and thinking about it.
But I haven't had Wendy's in their nugets, broken, their
nugets in their shakes. Wendy's was all right in my book.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yeah Wendy's. Wendy's is okay. I yeah, same as same
as you though, John, it's been a long Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Well, they're closing hundreds of consistently underperforming US location So
the time of you being able to go purchase Wendy's
may be coming to an end. The locations are dragging
down the fifty five year old chains overall performance just
barely older than I am. The Ohio based fast food
company expects to start shuddering roughly three hundred Wendy's restaurants
(33:55):
before the end of the year. This is in addition
to the closure of a hundred and forty lower performing
or out of date stores between twenty twenty four and
twenty twenty five, including any Dina location that was in
business for decades. Oh, you better let the Dynasty Cluncil know.
Maybe they can pass an ordinance to keep it open.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
See what I did there? Full circle.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Wendy's report only four point seven percent declined in the
same store US sales for the third quarter. Is gen
Z even eating fast food? I mean, when I was
growing up and I was driving all over God's Green
Earth when I was when I was younger, right, going
to see friends, going places. This is why I stay
(34:40):
at home now. I've had my fill of outside. I
was outside a lot of my younger years. At the time,
fast food was necessary. But if gen Z hasn't adopted,
you know, the car culture that we grow up with,
I assume fewer people are eating fast food at this.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Point in time, right, Oh what they're don't know what
they're eating.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I'm a millennial myself. I can't tell you.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
President Donald Trump, you know, last week he addressed the
McDonald's franchise owners, focusing on driving down the food costs.
And this is part of the issue too. I think
the fast food has actually been priced out for a
lot of for a lot of people. On top of that,
from Bring Me the News, Minnesota appears to have lost
to several Hardy's at restaurants in recent months. This makes
(35:24):
me sad because in other parts of the country, Hardy's
is Carls Junior.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
And if you're gonna ask me.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
What is what would be my go to fast food
item the Carl's Junior Double Western bacon cheeseburger.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Mine would be the Frisco Burger for sure.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Okay, yep, did the double Western bacon cheeseburger like I
just I want one right now, But again, opportunities to
get them are going to be falling short. Multiple reports
in southern Minnesota did a series of Hardy's locations have
shut their doors, including both of its man Cato restaurants.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh better, let Walls know.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Walls is the kind of guy that eats like a
Burger King. I have nothing against Burger King. It just
sounded funny in my head. Long, John Silvers, that's what
Walls would get.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
He'd get fish from walk John Silvers.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Maybe that'll be a question tomorrow, because tomorrow was essentially Friday.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Maybe we'll do a question of the day. Where would
Governor to Walls get his fast food from?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Just across the border in North Dakota, they've also been
reporting the closure of two Hardy's and Fargo and west
of Fargo. All right, one more, speaking of gen Z,
Apparently municipal liquor stores are losing customers who are drinking
less because gen Z is drinking less, and that means
(36:49):
that those cities are losing money. It's because of a
trend of fewer gen Z drinkers is being felt across Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Maybe the government shouldn't run liquor.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Stores and it should be left to the private sector
to go and figure out. Which just raises the question,
what is gen Z doing? Apart from staying up late
on on It's on their xbox and keeping me up
in the middle of the night. What else is gen
Z doing at this point in time if they're not
enjoying alcohol and eating fast food?
Speaker 9 (37:19):
Coming up tomorrow and the John Justin Show on dwnching
his new stuff wouldn't have meant further what's happening to
gen Z?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
I wouldn't say, go yell at the clouds. There's still
plenty of fog out there, so.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Fire shop get shows.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
All right?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Almost sound a little bit like Joe Biden right there,
didn't I not you know, not really ill lated effective
strategy to mobilize.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
True in an sub depression?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
If you missed any portion of the show today, too bad,
it's gone. No you can check out the podcast. It'll
be available on the iHeartRadio app. Download to that. Be
sure to update the app as well. Thank you to Sam, Sam,
Happy Thanksgiving. I know I want to see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (38:06):

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I will be on tomorrow with you.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Representative Tom Emmer will be joining us, as with Liz
Colin from Alpha News. Be careful out on the roadways.
Have a great Tuesday, and I'll talk to you tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Bye.
Our three Twin City's news talk.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hey, I'm eleven thirty one oh three five FM from
the sixty five to one Carpet Next Day Install Studios.
My name is John Justice, and I'm glad you went
the show this morning. And the master control booth next
door is sam And holy cow, I can't even see
anything outside.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I wonder it was so dark so late.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Is it still foggy out there? Yeah, I can't see it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I can see the building next door. That's about it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You know what I can't see is good radio, because
this is awful radio. Right, I'm not even paying a
picture at all. Be careful if you're out on the
roadways right now, it's got to be sketchy.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
We're gonna talk more frog coming up in just a moment.
I have some shocking numbers to get you reacquainted with.
I'm looking at a post that I pulled offline where
somebody said the numbers relating to the fraud in the
state of Minnesota are apocalyptic.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
And we have a brand new story that we'll dive into.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Lack of security reviews left Minnesota Snap system vulnerable to
breaches and fraud. All right, A man who I pretty
sure wants to go and do something about everything that
we're discussing on the show.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This morning.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Phillip, a Parish gubernatorial candidate, joins me this morning. Good morning, Philip,
thank you so much for coming on the show. How
are we doing today?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Good morning, Well, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Listen, if you were to go and win the governor's race,
what is one of the first priorities that you would
take regarding addressing the issue of the ramp and fraud
here in the state of Minnesota. Like if I were
running for office right now, Philip, I would be questioning
whether or not I would even want to attempt to
go and tackle the state of which we are currently
(02:01):
in under Governor Tim Wallas. But I'm curious what your
priorities would be to go and deal with these with
these ongoing issues.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Very very deliberate plan, with a very good group of
associates I've had in the military for a very long time,
we can get after the fraud very quickly. We'll have
a team set up ready to audit and pull every
piece of data possible and start pulling together together all
(02:30):
the threads that I've alluded to in my reco referral
and my recent posts that you might have seen. So
we have a good team. We have a really powerful
set of individuals that I've known for decades. They're very
good at what they do, and we're going to be
pulling on this thread till all of them are in jail.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Now, you previously ran for governor in twenty eighteen. Let's
back up a little bit for those that may not
be as familiar as with you. It's a word is
familiar with you from your time running for governor in
twenty eighteen, Philippa Parrish. Give us a bit of a
bit of your background and decision to go and run again.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
So I came off of my last set of orders
working with special Forces out of Fort Bragg. I was
put in DC in a suit and tie to and
follow the money work, which led to, yes, you might imagine,
interestingly enough, a lot of threads and connections to Minnesota.
Guess where all the money's coming from. Well that can't be, Commander,
(03:32):
that just can't be. How is that true? Well you
see that cornfield there, there's no daycare in the middle
of that cornfield, and so on and so forth. So
I came back from my last set of orders in
twenty seventeen, and some special operators pulled me aside and
just about the throat choked me to death. Don't you
let this go? Tell everybody you can, and I became
(03:53):
a whistleblower. In twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I filed
for governor and ran, and the biggest mission was telling
the truth and trying to get people to understand what
all was going on. Pass forward, we've all been starting
to see the reality of what's been going on all along.
And November of twenty four my wife and I were
(04:14):
talking about a list of things, especially concerns about our
children and our schools, and we just I woke up
and said, we just got to do this again. We
just cannot let this go. We got to keep talking
to people about how bad this is. And by the
grace of God in the Holy Spirit, we finally have
people nationwide talking about this again, and that's a blessing.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
How has the response been so far?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
As we talkle with gubernatorial candidate to Phillip Perish on
your run for the governor's office, how has the response
been so far? We have a lot of candidates that
have announced their intention to run or are running already.
We believe there are other individuals that are still going
to announce and get into this crowded field. I'm just
curious to hear what you're hearing when you're talking with
(05:00):
potential voters.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Been hearing very good things. I've been out on the
road since April of this year. We've clocked in well
over ten thousand miles, one hundred events plus, not just
events with the typical traditional VTOU meetings, but also just
my own events. Good people really concern Actually some whistleblowers
(05:25):
that have been coming to me, and I've coached them
and encouraged them how to do what needs to be
done through proper channels. And then eventually those people will
be coming more forward. As we gain momentum with my
campaign and then take office, these people will start being
a key part of how we get to the whole truth.
(05:48):
So the mood on the ground is very interesting, though,
compared to twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen, as you might remember,
John I was treated very poorly. I even had death
threats because of the the whistle on the daycare fraud.
And so the mood is much better. It's much healthier,
that there's a real appetite across the across the board,
(06:11):
regardless the race colored creed across the board, there's an
appetite for just tell us the truth and and get
the government off our backs and and let us let
us live again. So there's a really good positive mood
out there on the ground.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Talking with goubernatial candidate Philip Parish. Give it to your
background in in your knowledge of the fraud and having
you know, been a whistleblower and been privy to a
lot of this before it was widely discussed and become
as systemic as it has as it has become. I
guess I want to ask how how fixable is this problem?
(06:46):
I mean, it seems as if at this point like
everything's going to need to be upended in order to
root out and to stop this fraud from from taking place.
I'm just curious your perspective. I mean, the the issue,
it's gotten so big it makes me wonder, I mean,
how not just how do we fix it? But can
we can we actually fix it?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yes, we absolutely can fix it, and it's going to
require almost a military tactic plan, tactical plan to do it,
which sounds a little bit like an over the top analogy.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But that's essentially how I'm.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Approaching all of this as military planning. It's the basic
principles are the same. We have a situation where we're
trying to root out essentially, it's kind of a counterinsurgency practice,
if you can imagine the analogy. But we have to
go after multiple layers of this, and in sadly, I
(07:43):
wrote an article this morning about our very corrupt judicial system.
It's going to have to include outside help because now
we have judiciary, you know, just giving very bad criminals
to slap on the roofs while our children starve, literally,
and then they take a victory lap about all the
money that they're getting to everyone. But yet that goes
(08:04):
in the pockets of nothing new. We were reporting for
a long time how this money was supporting terrorism. And
it's not just terrorism in the way of what people
might think with war. There's terrorism in many different levels.
Here just the sheer corruption of infecting our judicial system
with how many times did we see in the last
(08:25):
couple of years how we had people compromised by hey,
don't do this, and here's some money to not talk.
So these things are real. It's not hyperbole. And we
can go after each of these layers in a way
that's sensible and I'm really really approaching it literally like
a military planning and operation.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Would you make a good point there, And it provides
me the opportunity to add some commentary that that I
haven't done yet, and that is, it's almost ridiculous that
it takes reporting of taxpayer dollars being funneled to a
terrorist organization Al Shabab in Somalia to raise further awareness
(09:06):
of what is taking place. I mean, quite honestly, the
fact that the amount of money through the fraud is
being funneled out of the state at all. I mean,
before we even get to we shouldn't have to get
to it's landing in the hands of terrorists for the
red flags to go off. Wherein this money should be
staying here in the state of Minnesota. And it's and
(09:28):
it's not even the money that's not just going to
fund terrorist organizations.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
And yet this is where we this is where we
are where it.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Takes this extreme example to sort of wake everybody, to
wake everybody up. I mean, even to the point of
the you know, the Trump administration. I know people have
been reaching out and telling them that. But it really
does again paints oblique picture of how bad things have
gotten that it takes something that extreme to go and
raise awareness to this ongoing issue.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Philip.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, and you paint a good context as to the
deep frustration that myself and my colleagues have had for
you know, a long time. Now. We're going on a
decade of doing file the money work and telling people, hey,
here's what's going on, and here's the who, what, when, where? Why? Oh, Commander,
that can't be true. That's just not possible. Sorry, ma'am,
(10:17):
sorry sir, but this is what's been going on, and
why aren't you listening to us? And you know, thus
the choke hold before I left my last to the borders,
phil don't you dare let this go? And it's just
been it's been a bit of a quite honestly, John,
it's been a bit of a night mare at times
over the last since twenty seventeen. But we just get
(10:37):
up every day, my wife and I we just carry
on and we just keep trying to tell people like
you and people across the state, you know, what's been
going on all along, And you're right, it's just completely
insane that we have to get to this point where
finally somebody's listening, Yeah, you're funding terrorism. When we were
telling people that there were hundred millions, hundreds of millions
of dollars coming out of the Minneapolis International Airport, landing
(11:00):
in the Netherlands and going straight into the Hawala network
with you know, people thought we were nutcases. But the
fact is that it's been true all along, and now
we're at a different time in history though where your
radio program, media x profiles, I'm seeing it on even
(11:21):
on Facebook and YouTube's even letting up a bit and
letting some of this stuff play. Most of what I
talked about in twenty eighteen, it was like I was
screaming in the middle of a forest and the only
person that could the only thing that could hear me
was a squirrel.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Fell a parish again running for governor. The website is
Parish p A R R I S H the number
four MN dot com. I want to thank you for
your time this morning, looking forward to the next time
you and I can talk, and maybe we can we
can branch out a little bit further beyond the fraud.
But I really do appreciate the insight this morning and
(11:57):
thank you so much for joining joining the show.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Anything you like to say before I.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Let you go.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Thanks a lot, John, and keep fighting out there. Don't
let anybody you know discourage you. God bless y'all and
keep fighting. God bless America, God bless Minnesota. Will see
y'all soon.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Thank you, Philip.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
We're going to get to some of your talkbacks are
brought to you by Lindall Realty on the iHeartRadio app.
In just a moment, the City Journal investigation by Christopher Ruffo,
who was the other guest that joined me on Laura
Ingram last night and Ryan Thorpe confirmed what whistleblowers have
been screaming about for years, individuals like Philip Parrish. I'm
going to bring you some of the data points you
(12:34):
need to know, and then we'll turn our.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Attention over to how the agency that oversaw.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Minnesota's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program did not perform required security
reviews of a computer system that was critical to the
program's operation. Let's get to some of your comments. Talkbacks
(13:04):
brought to you by Lindahl Realty from the iHeartRadio app.
As we continue the show this morning from the sixty
five to one Carpet plus Next Day Install studios just
got off the phone with gubernatorial candidate Philip A.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Parish. Really enjoyed that conversation. Some of you did as well.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
I'm an independent, but I have to say that the
current prop of candidates on the Republicans side running the
governor demonstrate their far more capable than the other side,
and they would win handily if it was based upon
merits and competency. But unfortunately there are too many voters
(13:45):
like Phil and Eric in Minnesota that seemed to overwhelm
the system along with a fraud. But good luck Republicans.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That said, not all of the voters like Phil and
Eric go and vote.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
At election time.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
I want to expand upon that because it keeps with
my mentality that I have heading into next year's elections.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Speaking of which, let's go here.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Good morning, John Say, your guest candidate for governor on
the Republican side was really solid this morning. I'm just
hoping that whoever gets the nomination, I should say, Whoeber
gets endorsed and when's the primary, if there is any,
is supported by all the Republicans in the.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
State, as we yes unity in that matter to win.
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No, you are absolutely correct. I will keep beating this
a couple of drums, and I have multiple drums. I'm
gonna beat them all. The one drum i'm gonna beat
that I've been beating a lot this week is the governor.
Tim Walls needs to resign. I don't have any expectation
that he's going to, but what I'm hoping is that
the calls grow loud enough to where he can no
(15:03):
longer remain silent on the issues that we've been talking
about since late last week into this morning, and why
I went on Fox News last night, and what Laura
and Fox News have been covering since last week as
well with these latest fraud revelations.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
So I'm going to keep beating that drum.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm also going to keep beating the drum that there
is no debating now with Democrats and that Republicans need
to be solely focused on turning out voters. The candidates.
Differentiate yourself from one another. Explain your case why you
want to be at the top of the ticket, why
(15:42):
you want to be the nominee. I don't care what position,
but in this case, we're talking about the governorship. But
don't destroy your competitor in the process. And the same
thing rings true for voters. Support the individuals you want
to support, respect your fellow Conservatives candidates, even if you
(16:03):
don't agree, and make your case, but be respectful, and
then whoever is chosen to be the nominee coalesce around
that individuals and get as many people out to vote
as possible. All you have to do is increase the
number of individuals who are eligible to legally go and vote,
and you can win elections. There is no debating with
the left right now. Look at that Aten Bean lunatic
(16:27):
that we've been talking about in Tennessee. Now, she doesn't
have a good shot to win, it's more than likely
an incredibly safe GOP seat. But that person represents your
typical Democrat right now, Senator Reuben Diego, his lunacy, the
seditious six in that video. There's no debating with them,
(16:49):
there's no rationalizing with them.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Look at the.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Way that Democrats here in Minnesota have reacted to all
this fraud.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
The voters are concerned about this.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I don't care which political party you belong to, you're
not down with fraud. Unfortunately, too many on the left
buy into the arguments that are put out by radicals
like Johan Omar and Keith Ellison. This has all happened
under Governor Tim Walls's watch.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh and to that.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Point, as we move into voting season here for the
next year, remember on this fraud that has been occurring
has been occurring under Tim Walls and every single Democrat
they all voted in goostep with Timmy Walls. They are
all complicit in all the fraud that's going on. So
(17:42):
when you walk into that voting booth, start voting to
benefit the state of.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Missol arm yourself with irrelevant data.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Autism Medicaid spending exploded from three million to three hundred
and ninety nine million in five years. That is a
thirteen two hundred percent increase. Autism service providers jump from
forty one to three hundred and twenty eight, a seven
hundred percent increase, many linked to the same networks. Minnesota
Housing Stabilization Services program was so overrun with fraud that
(18:14):
the state to shut it down entirely. Feeding our Future
stole three hundred million meant to feed hungry children, the
largest pandemic meal fraud in America.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And while it's not fraud.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
It sure felt like it when the state had a
twelve billion dollars surplus and we didn't get any of
it back. And in that time when that happened between
twenty nineteen and twenty twenty four, the Minnesota Chamber of
Commerce itself says that Minnesota is failing every single relevant
economic metric. Arm yourself with that data, memorize it, have
(18:53):
your own little mental script going so that anytime you
have a conversation and somebody is talking.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
About well, they might go and through my support by
Governor Tim.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Wolves, you have that file accessible in your brain to
pull up and go. You might want to think twice
about before you head to the voting booth to vote
for the guy who's constantly lied to the American public,
was rejected by the rest of the country, still commits
his stolen valor, all of which happened under his watch,
(19:28):
which is why he needs to resign. More of your
talkbacks coming up in just a moment, including your talkback
of the day. In twenty twenty and again in twenty
twenty three, the state of Federal Single Audits found the
Minnesota Department of Human Services did not complete a recent
information system security review of the system that determines who
(19:50):
is eligible to receive SNAP benefits. Also under Governor Tim
Walls's watch, the lack of security reviews left Minnesota in
the SNAP system vulnerable to breed and fraud. We'll get
to this also next here on t Wednesday's News Talk
AM eleven thirty and one oh three five FM.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
This is k W from the great City of Minneapolis,
a friend of the show with a different perspective. You know,
I think those on the right underestimate disdain for Donald J.
Trump and the midterms that would bring out the voters
and Democrats. The dayfl instate of Minnesota is going to
(20:39):
win and win big.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Have a great day of everybody.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I appreciate kW. Not a foe. They not agree with me,
but he's rational.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Now I disagree with a couple of things here, respectfully speak.
I do not under estimate the disdain for Donald Trump.
For crying out loud, I mean the show has become
a place where we highlight the disdain of Donald Trump
from the radicals on the left. But this goes back
to what I was mentioning before on how we win elections,
(21:15):
and that is you just have to increase the voter
turnout of the eligible individuals.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I had somebody.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Again yesterday send me their concerns putting it mildly of
the flyers that they've been receiving to be put on
the permanent absentee voter list.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Do not be concerned over that.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You are correct in your initial assessment of oh, why
am I being asked to be put on the permanent
absentee voter list.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
This is a conservative movement.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It is a Trump supporting organization that I believe is
sanctioned by Trump out of Colorado that is in charge
of that effort, and it is a means to get
as many people registered to go and vote heading in
the next year's midterms. It is another attempt by Republicans
(22:03):
to do something different than what they've done in the past,
which is partly but largely responsible for Trump winning the
election last year. So don't be concerned when you see
those sliders. You can decide for yourself whether or not
you want to be on the permanent absent de voter list,
but it's not for you. For those individuals that don't
want to see that or don't want to be on
(22:24):
the permanent absentee voter list, that is for potential voters
who lean Republican or Conservative that may not go out
and vote as often to get them on the permanent
absentee voter list, to make sure that we can get
those individuals to go and vote. But I'm aware of
(22:44):
the disdain for Donald Trump, which is why, again, it's
about the voter.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
The voter turnout.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Now when it comes to the DFL in the state
of Minnesota, going to win and win big. The win
big part is the other thing I'm going to push
back on. It's minute, but the DFL, it depends on
your definition of big. But they're not winning by wide margins.
They're winning by slim majorities. So you can say they
win and win big in terms of they won the
elections and now they have power, but they're not winning
(23:10):
by these massive margins. So I wanted to make sure
I clarified that because I don't want to give off
this impression that it is a lost cause for Republicans
to win elections in the state.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
We just have to put our own differences aside within
the conservative movement and make sure that you encourage individuals
to go and vote.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Why do you.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Think they're fighting so hard right now against what's taking
place with the exposure of the ramp and fraud here
in Minnesota. Why do you think that they are singularly
focused on calling everybody a racist who dares to go
and just speak to the facts of these issues. Because
they know that if there is headway made in cramping
(23:54):
down on this fraud, that you could see a change
in population density here Minnesota of certain demographics. That would
certainly be the case, although not enough to make a
difference in the elections, but certainly would be the case
when it comes to the temporary protection status. But for
(24:15):
those individuals that are swept up in that it is temporary,
it was going to expire in March. And it's not
just those individuals. There are families, and they're large families
attached to those individuals as well. But this is why
you hear from Ellison and Ilhan Omar and threatening of
lawsuits and Omar saying they're ignorant Trump voters. They are
(24:37):
trying to continue to shore up support for their base
of voters that they desperately need because they don't win
by huge margins. Or before we go any further, let's
get to your talkback of the day. Your talkback of
the day is brought to you by Mini Leaf m
I nn l EAF dot com, minileaf dot com.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
John as your boys here you here from Lacresse and Minnesota.
Great coverage this morning.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
The question is why isn't Homeland Security on all this
lship bob fraud that's coming out of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Doesn't seem crazy that our money, our tax sellers are
going to terrorists and nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Why isn't this more of a federal Ask about that?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Thanks?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Guys, have a good one.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Should have that rubbing looked at by a doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Terry is your talk back of the day brought to
you by minileafan minileaf dot com Again m I n
n e l EAF dot com. Head on over to
the website. So to address his comment, how do we
know they're not? This was only just revealed last week
on Thursday through Christopher Rufo. The other reporters involved kept
(25:42):
the sheet here. Ryan Thorpe City Journal. The federal government
moves slow. We would like to see them move swiftly,
but they move slow. We have the Congressional Republican leadership
reaching out to the Attorney General asking him to come
and investigate. You have those in the legislature that are
(26:03):
also coming in right behind them asking them to investigate.
And we know it's on Donald Trump's radar because he
wants to ENDTPS, so it remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
We get you into.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
January next year, and we haven't heard anything January February
because we are heading into the holidays and things slow down.
Then let's go ahead and revisit the federal government not
looking into what's taking place here in the world of
NASCAR right now, it's being rocked. There's a lawsuit between
(26:36):
the NASCAR race team owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.
They've been embroiled in this lawsuit with NASCAR. Without getting
into all the specifics because it gets really detailed, but
it's basically fairness issues relating to the money that is
shared when it comes to the broadcasts, the charter system
(26:56):
that NASCAR has deployed. In all of this, through the
trial that's gearing up to take place, all these text
all these texts have been released from the heads of
NASCAR talking about really prominent NASCAR race owners like Richard Childress.
I mean, he goes all the way back to the
Dale Earnhardt Senior days. And these are egregious text exchanges
(27:21):
of the CEOs with the NASCAR, just ridiculously ripping these
individuals that made this sport what it is from the
competition side of things. I only bring this up because
I've seen complaints of people online going where are all
the Because most of the NASCAR, the really high profile
NASCAR individuals, they host podcasts. Denny Hamlin, Dale Junior, Kevin Harvick,
(27:45):
they all host their weekly podcasts. Everything is slowing down
because of the holidays. But I saw a post why
aren't they talking about this? Why aren't their podcasts? Why
are they all silent? It's like, dude, the podcasts even
haven't even been released this week. The information just became
available like three days ago. These things they take, they
take time. I know you would like to see swift justice.
(28:05):
But for as much as I love movies even I
know that life doesn't move at a minute movies pace
by any stretch whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
That all right, that's a lot, that's lots of process there.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I just saw you look at the me. I didn't
know if you win the chime in.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I'm listening. I'm listening to it all. I forgot to
get my corkboard up with the red strings, so I'll
work on that.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Well, you make the podcast titles, so you have to
pay attention to this stuff.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I'm trying to. That's why I'm trying to keep it online.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Let's go here.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
The fact that k W used the term disdain for
Trump cruise that we don't longer vote for people because
of policy.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
We vote because of personality.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Well, you're you're I'll stop there. You make a great point,
but that's the left. You know, Republicans are still voting
for personality, I mean, excuse me, or for policy, which
is why you can't argue policy and issues when it
comes to Democrats. Right now, so let's get into this.
We have some time left from Channel five, the agency
(29:12):
that oversaw minnesota supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program did not perform
required security reviews of a computer system, which is critical
to the program's operation, according to the audits. Here's a
bit of the story from a Channel five on this issue.
Speaker 10 (29:28):
Until Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the program distributes nearly
seventy million dollars in benefits each month in Minnesota alone.
Well five investigates has uncovered audits that show the state
did not perform required security checks of the computer system
that determines who is eligible to receive this money. It
is a discovery that has SNAP recipients like Mattel hall
(29:52):
Bestli been worried about the safety of his personal data.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, that was a bit from a Channel five. According
to the audits, the failure to perform those checks could
allow security gaps or vulnerabilities of the system to go undetected,
which can increase the risk of a security breach or fraud,
which means that there probably has been at this point
(30:15):
in time. I mean, we just have to assume that
it's fraudulent. I just assume that almost all of these
social service programs are filled with fraud at this point
in time. Every single one of them needs a top
to bottom comprehensive review.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Oh but wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Last week there was a bill filed banning SNAP dollars
from being spent at fast food restaurants. Senator Joni Ernst
sut In the alarm that over five hundred million has
been spent on fast food across multiple states in just
the last two years. Five hundred and twenty four million
of taxpayer dollars spent on fast food through SNAP alone.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
What we have found is that within the SNAP program
there is a way for certain states to apply for
programs that allow those SNAP dollars to go to fast
food restaurants. There are currently nine states that allow that.
And what we have found is in just the last
two years taxpayer dollars going into SNAP, those SNAP dollars
(31:28):
of the amount of five hundred and twenty four million
dollars was spent on fast food. We know that we
have health issues across the board here in the United
States of America. Those SNAP dollars, and I'll remind everybody
that the N in SNAP stands for nutrition should not
be going to fast food.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Stands for nutrition. That's right. Want to find that out.
It shouldn't be going to that.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
It also underscores just how big and complex these problems
are and how difficult it is to root them out.
This is why I've been so appreciative of Trump this
second term. I think it's in large part because he's
aware and has been aware all of this year of
the first year of his term, that he needs to
get a lot done heading into next year because the
(32:16):
midterms are going to be crucial, especially if he wants
to continue to move forward to put the country back
on the correct track. But you've got to make these big,
why to sweeping moves to get it done, because we
spent far too much time just you know, just tinkering
at it, just needling around the edges, tinkering around.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
The edges, whatever you know, word usage we want to
have for not doing enough.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
As Amy Klobushar says, you know, we need to do
it with a scalpel. No, we need a hatchet, We
need a hammer. Sometimes we need nuclear bombs just to
go and blow up certain sectors of our government to
root out the corruption and frojake place.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
This is where we are here when.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It comes to the fraud here in Minnesota. Speaking of
fast food, Wendy's. Couldn't tell you the last time I
had Wendy's. No, Sam's shaking his head too. I haven't
had Wendy's.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I used to enjoy Wendy's quite a bit. Actually they're square.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Uh cheeseburger is like the square patties, Like I can
I can picture it. I'm almost salivating and thinking about it.
But I haven't had Wendy's in their nugets, broken, their
nugets in their shakes. Wendy's was all right in my book.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yeah Wendy's. Wendy's is okay. I yeah, same as same
as you though, John, it's been a long Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Well, they're closing hundreds of consistently underperforming US location So
the time of you being able to go purchase Wendy's
may be coming to an end. The locations are dragging
down the fifty five year old chains overall performance just
barely older than I am. The Ohio based fast food
company expects to start shuddering roughly three hundred Wendy's restaurants
(33:55):
before the end of the year. This is in addition
to the closure of a hundred and forty lower performing
or out of date stores between twenty twenty four and
twenty twenty five, including any Dina location that was in
business for decades. Oh, you better let the Dynasty Cluncil know.
Maybe they can pass an ordinance to keep it open.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
See what I did there? Full circle.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Wendy's report only four point seven percent declined in the
same store US sales for the third quarter. Is gen
Z even eating fast food? I mean, when I was
growing up and I was driving all over God's Green
Earth when I was when I was younger, right, going
to see friends, going places. This is why I stay
(34:40):
at home now. I've had my fill of outside. I
was outside a lot of my younger years. At the time,
fast food was necessary. But if gen Z hasn't adopted,
you know, the car culture that we grow up with,
I assume fewer people are eating fast food at this.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Point in time, right, Oh what they're don't know what
they're eating.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I'm a millennial myself. I can't tell you.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
President Donald Trump, you know, last week he addressed the
McDonald's franchise owners, focusing on driving down the food costs.
And this is part of the issue too. I think
the fast food has actually been priced out for a
lot of for a lot of people. On top of that,
from Bring Me the News, Minnesota appears to have lost
to several Hardy's at restaurants in recent months. This makes
(35:24):
me sad because in other parts of the country, Hardy's
is Carls Junior.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
And if you're gonna ask me.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
What is what would be my go to fast food
item the Carl's Junior Double Western bacon cheeseburger.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Mine would be the Frisco Burger for sure.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Okay, yep, did the double Western bacon cheeseburger like I
just I want one right now, But again, opportunities to
get them are going to be falling short. Multiple reports
in southern Minnesota did a series of Hardy's locations have
shut their doors, including both of its man Cato restaurants.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh better, let Walls know.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Walls is the kind of guy that eats like a
Burger King. I have nothing against Burger King. It just
sounded funny in my head. Long, John Silvers, that's what
Walls would get.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
He'd get fish from walk John Silvers.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Maybe that'll be a question tomorrow, because tomorrow was essentially Friday.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Maybe we'll do a question of the day. Where would
Governor to Walls get his fast food from?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Just across the border in North Dakota, they've also been
reporting the closure of two Hardy's and Fargo and west
of Fargo. All right, one more, speaking of gen Z,
Apparently municipal liquor stores are losing customers who are drinking
less because gen Z is drinking less, and that means
(36:49):
that those cities are losing money. It's because of a
trend of fewer gen Z drinkers is being felt across Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Maybe the government shouldn't run liquor.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Stores and it should be left to the private sector
to go and figure out. Which just raises the question,
what is gen Z doing? Apart from staying up late
on on It's on their xbox and keeping me up
in the middle of the night. What else is gen
Z doing at this point in time if they're not
enjoying alcohol and eating fast food?
Speaker 9 (37:19):
Coming up tomorrow and the John Justin Show on dwnching
his new stuff wouldn't have meant further what's happening to
gen Z?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
I wouldn't say, go yell at the clouds. There's still
plenty of fog out there, so.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Fire shop get shows.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
All right?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Almost sound a little bit like Joe Biden right there,
didn't I not you know, not really ill lated effective
strategy to mobilize.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
True in an sub depression?
Speaker 4 (37:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (37:50):

it's gone. No you can check out the podcast. It'll
be available on the iHeartRadio app. Download to that. Be

Colin from Alpha News. Be careful out on the roadways.
