Listen to Armstrong, youeti on demand on the IiHart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to his verdict with Ted Cruz. We can review Ben Ferguson with you and happy Fourth of July. hereere are the big stories that you may have missed that we talked about this past week. We have got a shocking story coming out of Minnesota that the governor there actually paid private investigators. to spy and to intimidate government employees who had whistleblown on the massive fraud that was taking place. Also a bill that is actually moving through Congress that is now quite possibly going to save college sports forever. And lastly, an activist DA in Philadelphia, yet again letting criminals walk. Why is this happening? and who's behind it? We explain that for you. It's the weekend review and it starts right now All right, I want to move on to this other incredible story Senator coming out of Minnesota and in life, especially in government work, you're told that if you're a whistleblower, that you have protections. And that if you're a whistleblower, you should not be afraid for your job or that someone's going to come after you, certainly the government that you work for. Well, apparently, that's not the case in Minnesota. And if you want to know how the Somali fraud got so bad, it might actually be because the governor was coming after the whistleblower, not those that were committing the crimes in Minnesota with his new shocking report Well, that is inevitably number one, the law, federal law and typically state law that protects whistleblowers that gives you legal protection because you want whistleblowers to callall attention to fraud Uh Number two If a government official goes after the whistleblowers, attacks the whistleblowers, refuses to follow the law and whistleblowers That is powerful indication of a guilty mind. that you're covering something up. It's sort of like if someone is murdered in Central Park And you catch a person burning their clothes from that night and destroying the murder weapon Yeah. That is powerful, powerful evidence that they're the murderer that it is typically the guilty who destroys evidence who tries to cover it up that if you're not guilty You have far less motivation, far less likelihood to try to silence whistleblowers to try to destroy evidence. So here's the story that broke in the Daily Caller. The headline is, Tim Waltz's staff hired private investigators to silence fraud whistleblowers, Committee repeport finds Senior Minnesota state officials allegedly hired outside investigators to silence whistleblowers in an attempt to cover up widespread state social services fraud A House committee report released Monday found A two hundred page staff report by the House Cittee on oversight and Gvernment reform found that Democrat Minnesota Gvernor Tim Waltz' Stateates administration intimidated and retaliated against state employees who raised concerns about fraud soliciting private investigators investigators to reveal employee' personal details w a horde titled The Cost of Do Nothing, How Tim Walts and Keith Ellison fueled Minnesota's fraud explosion expose that senior state officials as high as allegedly Governor Waltz We were aware of widespread fraud for years and neglected to respond to reports A Minnesota Department of Education official who contacted the FBI told federal investigators she was pressred quote E by her superiors to stop raising fraud concerns and was quote Hand slap when she continued to investigate, according to the report The official also reported that she was warned by state administrators to quote, stop digging into things as it would appear that she was, quote targeting certain groups This is DEI and fraud all coming together along with corruption to elect Democrats. The article continues Dozens of other whistleblowers reported dozens that they were told to stay silent about fraud concerns by the Minnesota Department of Human Services becausecause they would be labeled, quote, racist or Islamophobic DHS also told state employees that raising fraud concerns would harm the state Rort said Whistleblowers reported the DHS conducted arbitrary investigations to photograph their cars and houses monitor their phones and computers and asked employees where their kids attended school That's going to get worse then Temporary commommissioner Sherene Gandhi By the way, I'm going to give you some foreshadowing that Ms Gandhi. did not behave like Gandhi Instead, She confirmed in a testimony copied in the report that the State Department used outside entities to conduct these investigations of employees could not confirm whether independent law firms were used Gandhi also confirmed in her testimony The DHS management would regularly meet and quote check in on employees who had reported fraud concerns Gandhi continued to conduct these check ins on DHS whistleblower Faye Bernstein, quote a year or two after her investigatory leave. So they hunted them down and they stayed harassing them Bernstein alleged that Gandhi quote shamed her in a meeting after she raised concerns about fraud and quote excluded her from further meetings on the topic Whistleblowers also allege that former state commommissioner Jodie Harpstead held a division wide meeting and told attendees that quote emmployees would be punished if they reported concerns about fraud in DHS programs, according to the report DHS employee Emmanuel Nuala told colleagues that he quote did intelligence research within the arrmy appears to have threatened to provide IP addresses to former colleagues In order to find the locations of whistleblowers email addresses. An email obtained through a public data request showed Now it's about to get even worse The report also alleged DHS D anonymized An internal fraud hotline for employees in an attempt to intimidate fraud reporters. after whistleblowers later created an anonymous external email to report fraud DHS blocked the email address. Whistleblowers reported that their fraud hotline tips were sent to human resources and used against them The hotline was originally anonymous but was deonymized under Gandhi's tenure as Dputy commommissioner of HR Governor Waltz appppointed Gandi as commommissioner of DHS in february twenty twenty six, but removed her in May. before her confirmation hearing Amid scrutiny of her response to fraud allegations This is Anyone who claims gosh, the elected officials of Minnesota, they were victims. They didn't know. They wanted to go after the fraud, which by the way, Both Walts and Ellison keep saying, Oh, we want her to go after the fraud. We want her to prosecute it This demonstrates I think powerfully, they are lying Not only did they not want to go after the fraud, they were doing everything they could to silence the whistleblowers and prevent anyone from knowing about the fraud And this goes back to the other question of accountability If everything that we just mentioned turns out to be true, there's obviously now an open investigation into this If you do these things Are you breaking the law And if it goes all the way the governor, is he breaking the law? And the people below him, are they breaking the law? And is there any accountability for this? O is this just, well, Waltz isn't running for reelection. so it doesn't really matter anymore and we'll just move on. And yeah, we may continue to do things like this in the future without accountability. Listen, the Department of Justice has created an entire new division focused at going after fraud And I hope everyone who made these decisions faces accountability if they committed criminal violations that they are prosecuted. I am hopeful. I can tell you, I'm urging the Department of Justice hold them accountable the way our Our constitutional system works. It's not the legislature. Look, I'm in the Senate. I can't prosecute anybody. I don't have executive authority. I have legislative authority. I can write legislation, which I have, but I can't The power to bring an indictment, the power to go before a grand jury to get an indictment to prosecute that is exclusively within the executive branch within principally the U. S. Department of Justice at the federal level And so I can tell you this, I am urging the attorney general and DOJ prosecute every single person who committed criminal acts who covered up fraud who benefited from it who knew what they were doing and this is this is a real smoking gun. And at the AG, I go back to Allison there. we know his name well. If he's involved in this and is using and weaponizing the government to go after those that were not committing the fraud, those that were trying to whistleblow on the fraud fraud and they are harassed. Is there any lane for the people that were being harassed to somehow have like, you know, restitution for what they went through. If you're being harassed for two years after you put in a tip That's got to put a lot of stress on your life. I'm assuming it put stress in your career. I'm assuming it could have affected a lot of people getting promotions that they deserve. Yeah, look, and I would assume we're going to see civil litigation of people fire filing lawsuits and seeking compensation for this and that litigation could well be successful In terms of criminal prosecution, this would not surprise me. I don't know sitting here if Minnesota law makes makes doing this a criminal violation in Minnesota. Now. Of course, the federal government can't prosecute violations of Minnesota law. It would take a Minnesota district attorney to bring that case and I got to admit, I'm very skeptical there are any prosecutors in Minnesota willing to hold the corrupt Democrats in charge of that state accountable. If they're not, then there's not really a mechanism to enforce Minnesota law. which means you would be left with federal law. And given that these are federal funds that were effectively being stolen and funneled to Somali, funneled to Somalian fraudsters being sent among other places to Al Shabab and we' had terror war O this podcast that the single largest funder of Al which is the ic Islamic terrorist group that is in Somalia. Their number one funder was the taxpayers of Minnesota And those are also federal taxpayer money. So I expect the Department of Justice. they've already prosecuted a number of the fraudsters at the lower level But I hope they go right up right up the ladder of accountability and any politicians that are responsible. And to be clear This happened because it was in politicians political interest for this to happen because they were getting money from campaign donations and they were getting votes from allowing Somalian fraudsters to rob the taxpayers of Minnesota and the American taxpayers. and U lookook this has happened also in other states. It's happened. in Maine under the Democratic governor there. It's happened in California. It's happened in Illinois. It's happened, I think all over the country, but predominantly in Democrat states where there are Democrat politicians who are benefiting from turning the other way to fraud. And I think everyone who committed a criminal act should face prosecution and real consequences. Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.

Listen to Newsworld on the IHart radio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast Why should you listen to Armstrong and Getty on Dmand boring. a lot of news boring and tedious and depressing. and makes you angry. You don't want to live your life like that. Hey I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. We're Arstrong and gettingetd. We try to bring you the truth and help you figure out this crazy modern world. How about something about a comedic tone. Listen to Armstrong Yuetti on demand on the iHart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Now on to story number two All right, so Sener, let's move into this is something you've been really working on. This is the most like jock bro I've ever seen you since I've known you and it's really been fun for me because usually you're geeking out over like Supreme Court stuff I feel like our friendship has moved to another level because now we've got to talk sports and NIL so much and the college sports bill, it is now reality. Let's walk us through how this was done and what it means for sports fans and saving many sports that were getting canceled around the country that were non money making sports So this week was a very, very big week for college sports because the Senate Commerce Committee, which I chair passed my legislation to protect college sports and it passed with a big bipartisan vote. The vote was nineteen to nine. So we got a bunch of Republicans, a bunch of Democrats. We got more than two thirds of the committee voted for it. That's really important. It has momentum now going to the Senate floor. I think it's going to pass on the Senate with a big bipartisan vote and it's going to go to the House and President Trump is eager to sign it. Now What's going on in college sports? Listen, college sports. is in crisis right now Every week you see another story about a program being cancellled, women's sports being cancellled, track and field being cancellled, Olympic sports being cancellled, non revenue sports, tennis being canceled Yeah, and What is happening is you've got total chaos with the transfer portal. You've got athletes transferring two, three, four, five times You have essentially no rules on eligibility. They're all being decided by lawsuits. It got so ludicrous. you had the Brendon Sooreresby case where even though he was gambling on his own games You had a hometown judge say no, he can still play anyway. Now thankfully Texas tech away from that decision. I'm glad teech made that decision to back away. That was an indefensible decision, but it illustrated chaos we have. you have people that are twenty six, twenty seven years old still playing college sports and twenty eight year olds playing against eighteen year olds, which is not fair, not right Um and Athletic programs, they're almost all losing millions of dollars. Many of them are losing tens of millions of dollars because the cost keeps spiraling out of control And then If Congress doesn't act I think five years from now. There will be thirty to fifty competitive college football programs, basically a mini NFL And then it wouldd be a franchise. If you're an SC school, you own a franchise And I think all of the other programs go under And what that means, by the way, that's not just college football going under. The way athletics works in colleges is football pays for everything else And so if football goes under, it means those schools, they lose women's sports, they lose They lose their entire athletic program. It means our Olympic athletes are just devastated and the college programs where they develop their skills right now go away And I think that would be a terrible outcome. and it would also be a terrible outcome. Do you know right now there are more than five hundred thousand collollege athletes competing Yeah at any given time. If we allow this chaos to continue to play out Hundreds of thousands of those slots will disappear, thoseose scholarships will disappear. And sports has been an avenue right by the way, this you' men women to go to school Let's be clear. the five hundred thousand you just mentioned, and this is the part I want people to understand, the majority of college athletes, like nineties I think some I saw a study and you may know the number. I want to say it was ninety eight or ninety nine percent of college athletes. Do not play football or basketball. So if you think about college sports It is all the other sports. The majority of them are not revenue making sports. Football barely is on most campages. sometometimes and depending on what school you're at, if you're at a basketball school, then that will be your revenue sport. Outside that, almost all the others lose money. Y. If you don't fix this, everything goes away and then many of those football programs that one percent of the student body or basketball, which is I mean, most basketball teams they have, I think scholarships it's nine in D one M maybe it's eleven scholarships. I can't remember they always they're always moving around. But for men like that's not many people folks. If you don't fix this, you have a university that now has doesn't even have an identity in sports Yeah, look, look my philosophy in addressing this was number one, I didn't worry too much about the powerhouse programs, the big big programs. Listen in Texas, University of Texas and Texas andM. I love them both. I go to games every year. I cheer them on. They're incredible institutions To be honest, you T and AM, they are going to survive and thrive regardless of what happens. They would survive the mini NFL and then continue to win national championships But Im worried about all of the other programs. To be honest, if we don't act, I'm not convinced any other program in Texas survives. And if you can imagine a Texas, withithout SMU, without TCU, without Baylor, without Texas tech, without Rice with without University of Houston It would be a tragic outcome And so my focus was on maintaining the entire ecosystem, but secondly My focus was not on the superstar athletes. if you're Michael Jordan, if you're Arch Mannock. You know what? You're going to get millions of dollars. You're going to be on the Weaties box. You're going to do great. ninety nine percent College athletes will never play in the NFL, will never play in the NBA But yet Athletics is their ticket to college. Look it was for you. playing tennis is how you went OS. I'll be honest with you, I'm not sure I would have gone to college if it wasn't for having the scholarship, which came through tennis to pay for college. My family did not have a lot of means and my dad was the first to admit and it was like if you want to go to college If you want to go to good school, you're going to have to get there and earn it. Sports was my way in. It wasn't going to be the academic road and that's another avenue you can go, but sports was and for many of my friends, it was a savior to a better life afterwards, a better member of society. By the way, we pay a lot more taxes when you're successful. So it's a great reinvestment in the country from that standpoint as well. You want your kids to go to college, but for so many I had roommates They would have never gotten into college. If it wasn't and got in their family, M I had two different roommates. They were the first kid in their families to ever go to college. It completely changed the trajectory of their family tree And it was because of athletics. Well, and some people have said, well, why is Congress getting involved in college sports? And the reason is It's federal laws that Congress has passed created this chaos. It's why all of the rules got thrown out because they're being sued under existing federal law and every rule keeps getting thrown out. And so Congress created the problem which means only Congress can fix it because only Congress can alter that federal law. And if we don't act We can see the crisis unfolding around us and for millions of young men and women Many college athletes are coming from economically disadvantaged circumstances. Many of them are African American or Hispanic. Over years and decades, we're talking about millions of young men and women who this may be their only path to go to A going to college and getting an education be learning the disciplines that come from being in organized sports of teamwork and hard work and discipline and sportsmanship And look, I didn't have the skill to play college sports. I would have loved to. But I played high school sports and it was, you know, being on, I played basketball and football and soccer and then being on a team in high school Those are really important skills And it's amazing. I actually asked this at our Senate Republican lunch. I said, all right, how many people around this table ed college sports and I would say about twenty percent of the Republicans in the Senate raised their hand and they were college athletes. I mean, that's true. and that's true. You find that with CEOs, you find that the discipline and nobody in the Senate played professional sports. The discipline and the skills you learn set you up for success in life. Let me ask you one final question on this. Who was behind this that surprised you the most? Nick Saban was one that I was excited to see that African American University of Memphis my hometown football coach, he got behind this and had some great testimony there in front of you guys. I was proud of that as well. But who shocked you that was behind this. So the support we've seen has been overwhelming. twenty four conferences have endorsed this bill. They represent those conferences rep represent Over two hundred different colleges and universities are enthusiastically supporting the bill. The NFL endorsed the bill. The NBA endorsed the bill. Major League baseball endorsed the bill. The NA NFL playlayers Association endorsed the bill. The NBA playlayers Association endorsed the bill. The college football association endorsed the bill. We've had Nick Saban has endorsed it. John Calipari led over a hundred college coaches who have endorsed the bill. The US Olympic Committee endorsed the bill. So we've seen just enormous support And I will say the primary opposition came from the leadership of the Big Tan and the SEC. And look The SEC is really important in Texas. obbviously UT and M. I think they're great If if Congress doesn't act I believe the SEC and Big ten want to create a super League where they're the only football that exists and everyone else out of billion dollar franchise organizations. That's what they would have. And that is a terrible outcome. We explicitly prohibit a super League in the bill because I want to keep all the other programs alive. Yeah. That's where the resistanceces come from. I think we're going to end up having a big, big bipartisan vote on the Senate floor. My objective is to do this Get it done, get it passed. The president's eager to sign it and do all of that before school starts this fall As before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic, you can go back and download the podcast from early this week to hear the entire thing This is N the English.

Listen to Newsworld on the Hart radio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast Why should you listen to Armstrong and Gety on Dmand boring. a lot of news is boring and tedious and depressing. and makes you angry. you don't want to live your life like that.

Listen to Armrong Yueti on demand on the iHart Radio A, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I want to get back to the big story number three of the week you may have missed I want to move on to another big issue. We've got another activist DA that's been busted flat out lying Senator this time in Philadelphia. You can you can say thank you to the Democratic Party to the George Sourusces for allowing this to happen and this a story that needs to be on your radar screen as well. It is and lets let's talk about who this is. You know, we talked about Singman and a left wing billionaire spending money to do real damage to America This is a story about another. left wing billionaire spending money to do enormous damage to America. In this case U George Soros. George Soros has spent billions of dollars. He is the single most effective political giver, I think in American history U now Eective is not a compliment. He is effective in being unbelievably harmful There are, I believe thousands of Americans who are dead because George Soros has spent the money so effectively. So he spent propaganda in support of open borders And you look at all of the people who have been raped and killed by illegal immigrant violent criminals All the people that have been subject to terror attacks from illegal immigrant violent criminals Soros also is creative in his destruction and he realized that our democratic society has vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities that he can target. So he doesn't just target a presidential race. That's an easy, big, sexy target. He really pioneered targeting district attorney races. Now district attorney races used to be sleepy little races. You'd have a Democrat and a Republican, but they both were prosecutors Both were going to lock up criminals. If you were a murderer, you'd lock up murderer, you'd prosecute them. there didn't used to be a massive difference between the two sides on DAs. You'd have a little bit different priorities from the one to the other, but everyone agreed violent criminals will lock them up and throw the book at them That changed when Soros began flooding millions into DA races. Now, these races didn't used to have millions of dollars in So this money just appeared out of nowhere and he elected what are called Soros DAs And Soros DAs are the prosecution side of the abolish the police campaign. Look, Soros funded the abolish the pololice campaign too If you want to destroy a society, I can think of a few more effective ways to do it then eliminate law enforcement because the result is anarchy and chaos. it's more murders, more rapes, more children being abused that is I don't like to ascribe ill intent to someone, but Ben, I will say quite seriously I do not know any other motivation for George Soros that makes any sense to me O than that he wants to destroy America because his action seem is perfectly calculated to destroy America Yeah, if you look at the and it's a it's very calculated. It's prison reform, it's bail reform, it's defund the police You do that trifecta, which is saying, well, we're going to let people out of jail because we just believe jail is somehow fundamentally wrong. You then say you wanted to defund the police, so then you have no law enforcement. And then you have bail reform which says we're going to not put you in jail while we hold you for trial because you don't have a lot of money, so then you're letting rapists and murdrs literally back on the street as fast as we catch them that that that you combine those three. This is a framework for total anarch in society, which is clearly what Saurus wants Yeah, look Just ask yourself the simple basic question. Is society better? If there are more murderers on the street, more murderers in your community, more murderers living in your neighborhood. Any rational person would say no, I don't want more murderers in my community Soros says yes. and he spends millions of dollars to elect DAs who agree with him. And so one of those Soros DAs is a guy named Larry Krasner. He is the left wing Soros DA in Philadelphia. And instead of going in with a mission of I'm going to go lock up the bad guys His mission is quite literally, I'm going to release as many bad guys as I can. Now now you may be saying, come on, that can't be true that's so extreme All right, let me just give you the facts justust this week A five two Democrat court So I'm going to read you what judges who are Democrats said about Larry Krasner They found that he is so quick falsely concede error in murder cases to try to free convicted murderers that it is tasked the Pennsylvania attorney general with checking to make sure that the SorosDA is not lying Now let me give you a little context of this because legally, this is astonishing. I've never seen anything remotely like this. So A lawyer, particularly a government lawyer, has the ability to do what's called confess error And confessing error is you go to the court and you said You say we screwed up. We made a mistake We made a legal mistake, we made a factual mistake, and we're confessing error. You should take it from us. We were just wrong And courts generally give enormous weight to that because Nobody almost nobody ever confesses error falsely. like confessing error is against your interest S you're saying you screwed up your job, right? That's what you're saying So it confessing error doesn't happen often, and you usually believe it because it's against the interest of the litigant I want to read from an appellate decision in one of these cases hereere in this case, reviewed under a King's bench jurisdiction The Philadelphia District attttorney's office On behalf of the Commonwealth, conceded that Lavar Brown a convicted murderer sentenced to death for a separate murder
