00:00So you're telling me I can get a foreign doctor without an American license to
00:05just check a box and I get a state mandated paid vacation to
00:10Somalia or any other countries that correct that is how the law was written by Democrats in Minnesota yes
00:15is gonna stop and you folks are at the front of it Minnesotans have had enough
00:20we're hard-working people we will not allow our tax dollars to go imagine this Minnesota
00:25taxpayers funding a paid vacation to anywhere in the world for anyone who claims to be providing
00:30care for someone without ever having to prove it no documentation no very
00:35verification just a simple declaration and what's more troubling this is
00:40real it's happening right now the conversation started innocently enough
00:45with representative stauber questioning representative rarick about who could qualify for this
00:50paid family leave rarick's answer was a bombshell it wasn't limited to close family
00:55members or dependents it wasn't even limited to people living in the US in fact
01:00under the law if you simply say you're taking care of someone anyone
01:05your employer is legally obligated to give you paid time off for up to 12 weeks and
01:10here's the kicker there's no requirement to prove any of it no doctor's note no check
01:15happens nothing someone could take off to Somalia care for a friend and get paid nearly
01:2090 percent of their salary for it stauber's line of questioning expose just how wide open the
01:25office loophole is could an individual travel anywhere even out of the country and
01:30receive paid leave under this program absolutely could they choose any caregiver
01:35including someone without American medical credentials yes could they get away with it with
01:40without facing any consequences you guessed it there's nothing in place to hold anyone accountable
01:45accountable but then stauber pushed even harder what if someone were to
01:50take their employer's word for it and not provide any proof he asked the response
01:55response they could the law doesn't require proof of care and no one would
02:00question it the more stauber dug the more unsettling the truth became
02:05people could get away with fraudulent claims that cost the taxpayers dearly allowing them to travel
02:10the globe while still pocketing government funds the situation became even more bizarre
02:15when the conversation turned to who could certify a person's need for care could it be someone out
02:20outside of the u.s. without medical licenses yes absolutely
02:25it didn't have to be an american doctor it could be a foreign practitioner with no profession
02:30professional standing in the u.s. the laws broad definitions leave the system open to
02:35exploitation the fact that this could be happening under the state's watch without a shred
02:40of oversight has caused an uproar here's where the real tension arises minnesota
02:45in the u.s. the law makers including
02:50electron practitioners and care who might not be characterized by COLLEA was
