Speaker 1: When you were ready to double down, dive in, try
Speaker 1: for a show and not look back. Yes, roll into
Speaker 1: Pearl River rezuot from tea times to table games, water
Speaker 1: slides by day, slots by night, savor the flavors, feel
Speaker 1: the food. Win big. Let's roll into Pearl River rezoot.
Speaker 1: Must be twenty what or older to play gambling problem
Speaker 1: called why Hunter Gimbler.
Speaker 2: Mole was recording yesterday morning's morning Coffee, some breaking news
Speaker 2: came out that isn't or it shouldn't be a shock,
Speaker 2: but it kind of is considering how most politicians generally
Speaker 2: act when there's a scandal around, and that's the announcement
Speaker 2: that Minnesota Governor Tim Walls announced that he is dropping
Speaker 2: his bid for a third term as governor of the state. Again,
Speaker 2: this is coming following his massive criticism that we have
Speaker 2: seen from this ongoing welfare fraud scandal in which the
Speaker 2: Somalian government meant was able to secure a lot of
Speaker 2: money from fake daycares. There's even been folks going around
Speaker 2: and checking out these fraudulent daycares and proving that there
Speaker 2: are no children there. It's one of those things that
Speaker 2: this is the right move for Tim Walls because he
Speaker 2: doesn't need to be governor ever again, and he has
Speaker 2: proven to be a political liability for his party, not
Speaker 2: just his abysmal performance as the running mate for the
Speaker 2: already terrible candidate that was Kamala Harris. He was supposed
Speaker 2: to be the one that elevated her, and he became
Speaker 2: another anchor on her already fleeting shot at being elected
Speaker 2: in the first place. But now because of this massive
Speaker 2: welfare assistance fraud scandal, he is gone. Whiles, in his statement,
Speaker 2: said the political gamemanship we're seeing from Republicans is only
Speaker 2: making that fight harder to win. When talking about running
Speaker 2: for governor, he said, but as I reflected on this
Speaker 2: moment with my family and my team over the holidays,
Speaker 2: I came to the conclusion that I can't give a
Speaker 2: political campaign my all. Every minute I spend defending my
Speaker 2: own political interest would be a minute I can't spend
Speaker 2: defending the people of Minnesota against the criminals who prey
Speaker 2: on our generosity and the cynics who prey on our difference.
Speaker 2: I love how he blames the scandal on Republican game
Speaker 2: meanship there in the statement. I mean, how utterly ridiculous
Speaker 2: and self delusional do you have to be to understand
Speaker 2: that the reason why this is being being pointed out
Speaker 2: because it happened under your watch, It was your administration.
Speaker 2: But he doesn't want to accept that it's all just
Speaker 2: Republicans trying to target him. So yes, he finished his
Speaker 2: statement with, so I've decided to step out of the
Speaker 2: race and let others worry about the election while I
Speaker 2: focus on the work. Well, please focus on the work,
Speaker 2: probably for the first time in your time in the
Speaker 2: governor's mansion, because obviously you weren't focused on the work
Speaker 2: in the first place, or this scandal wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2: Oh my bad, Timmy. I guess that's just me having
Speaker 2: political gaymanship and not actually stating the fact that this
Speaker 2: has happened on your watch. It's crazy when you sit
Speaker 2: back and you think about this, I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: More than ninety people, most from Minnesota's large Somali community,
Speaker 2: have been charged since twenty twenty two, and what has
Speaker 2: been described as the nation's largest covid Era scheme. How
Speaker 2: much money has been stolen through alleged money laundering operations
Speaker 2: involving fraudulent meal and housing programs, daycare centers, Medicaid services
Speaker 2: is still being tabulated, but the US Attorney in Minnesota
Speaker 2: said the scope of the fraud could exceed one billion.
Speaker 2: That's billion with a pe people. But you're right, you're right, Tim,
Speaker 2: this is just political gamemanship. We shouldn't be criticizing your
Speaker 2: administration for allowing this to happen on your watch. We
Speaker 2: should just be quiet because you're a nice guy. We
Speaker 2: shouldn't call you out because you're Tim Walls, the nicest
Speaker 2: gow on the planet. Collie g Shucks, Wally Chillickers. We
Speaker 2: just can't seem to say anything bad about the all
Speaker 2: shucks Midwesterner that is Tim Walls. He's just well Collie
Speaker 2: Gee's we've got to be nicer because I mean, they'll
Speaker 2: just listen to him. Tim, you are a bad governor.
Speaker 2: Your legacy will forever beat this scandal. Your legacy will
Speaker 2: forever beat this fraud. There's nothing you can do or
Speaker 2: say that will change that. Your decision to not run
Speaker 2: for a third term, which quite frankly, I think it's
Speaker 2: silly that Minnesota allows you to run for a third term,
Speaker 2: but that's Minnesota's choice. But your decision to not run
Speaker 2: for a third term is not because of Republican gamemanship.
Speaker 2: It's because of a failure to lead. You need to
Speaker 2: accept that. You need to understand that this happened on
Speaker 2: your watch. It happened while you were in office, and
Speaker 2: it is a real, real thing. Now. I'm sure this
Speaker 2: will be a topic on the Flagship Show recorded later
Speaker 2: this week, but I couldn't sit back and not go
Speaker 2: ahead and record my thoughts on Tim Walls as I
Speaker 2: was seeing the news break Monday morning, even though I
Speaker 2: had already put out morning coffee for Monday, I had
Speaker 2: to come on because again, the delusional, self absorbed energy
Speaker 2: in trying to blame this on Republican gaymanship is just
Speaker 2: so absurd. The fraud happened. You guys weren't doing enough
Speaker 2: in terms of the checks and balances to make sure
Speaker 2: that you were going to move this in the correct direction.
Speaker 2: You weren't making sure that this money was being spent appropriately.
Speaker 2: And no, I have no sympathy for you having to
Speaker 2: not run for a third term, no sympathy whatsoever. It's
Speaker 2: the right move from a decency standpoint, because based on
Speaker 2: the fact that there was a possibility of a one
Speaker 2: billion dollar fraud happening in your state, you're not fit
Speaker 2: to lead their clown and guess what you're going to
Speaker 2: lose anyway, that's the real reason you're not running. You
Speaker 2: don't want to take the l This has been morning
