" Tonight you may know Democrat Al Franken won the Minnesota senate race by just 312 votes last November but here's something interesting. The embattled acorn organization registered about 43000. Voters in Minnesota and that is raising some suspicion of fraud. Governor Tim Valenti has already launched an investigation into the use of state funds by a point but now some including congresswoman Michelle Bachmann calling for a full audit of the group's activities in the state. Joining us from Washington is congressman Bachmann a Republican. Okay and congratulations to the twins by the way that was an unbelievable game last night and there are planning yanks tonight and they demo. Lot of grit lot of heart okay Al Franken now he's my -- and the vikings do while deal with the vikings another time. Here's my problem with Franken. That vote swallow all the from crazy way -- right. -- obviously under scrutiny. For fraud in a lot of states now it's not fair to say that acorn did fraud committed fraud in Minnesota your state. But for 43000. New voters almost a 100% of them going Democrat. You gotta take a look at it on a 312 large -- not."
" We do especially in light of the fact that senator Norm Coleman actually came out with more boats at the beginning part of the recall. And that's I think it's very important you set yourself fell 43000. New registrations under acorn and in state after state. Night after night day after day there were phony registrations that were put I think yeah I."
" I think the governor -- look at all 43000. Of those registry and see if Mickey Mouse is on there see -- Donald up his honor. And on it and who they voted. Because if you don't. Then again this may not be fair and I don't have any hard evidence but if you don't do it there's always going to be that cloud that acorn. Through that election Franken."
" Well this isn't the first election Minnesota -- acorn was heavily involved there are also heavily involved with 2006 races well okay now."
" You called for a full audit what does that mean what what you wanna see done in your state."
" Acorn has received taxpayer money in Minnesota and I want to make sure that there's a full review and audit. How that money was spent and where wet because we know that acorn -- Is an umbrella organization for 361. Different organizations. Summer tax exempt some -- but the real question is was any taxpayer money. Out interchangeably use between these organizations so that it may have been used for election purposes which should be clearly illegal."
" Okay -- you wanna order you want their books you wanna audit you wanna see -- money went that's what we're calling for a federal audit also runs under way in Louisiana to stay down there. Now you're you're pretty interesting. Politician. Congresswoman you are second to Sarah Palin. In the far left thanks. You know Sarah Palin leads the league no doubt. But there after unit. We're all time Michelle Bachmann she's this she's that bump bump -- how did you get into that. We'll house."
" You -- it's an interesting thing now I'm I think it happened with the competing cable network that took an interest in me. And it's only grown and so now it's almost like they have personal -- only they have TV shows such kind of an interesting phenomenon."
" does it bother you that NBC news is using its cable arm to. Make your life difficult does that bother you. You don't not."
" Really I grew up with three Brothers and that's the best preparation for politics anyone can possibly have I'm just here doing my job working on behalf of the people of Minnesota. And it's great just to be able to get my message out that I get under people's skin so --"
" Okay but why why are you getting under their skin I mean you're seem like a nice woman we had you with the correspondents dinner as a guest in our cable you didn't throw spaghetti on any one."
" You didn't use any bad like Wednesday night without Al Sharpton I you were perfectly fine so I'm not getting."
" To me your conservative Republican. From a midwest -- a mess and Midwestern State who speaks her mind articulately does her job."
" Why -- they come and if you I don't get it. It may be bothered them the conservative women are happy and don't need government in order to be successful in life. I have a great husband great kids at a great cute career as a federal tax attorney and I don't need government to be successful and it seems like they have a stereo type. For women and I don't that in their stereotype."
" He figured and this is an off the wall question and I'm telling the audience that it's just something that's occurred to me both you and Sarah Palin are good looking win. -- attractive young relatively young women and cool other women can identify -- You'll mommy why you at a private sector job I think that's it I think that did the success of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann. Drive at the far left crazy. Because you don't think you don't like what you believe it. But you but you can attract others to listen to you I think that's what's going."
" Well and if we pull away votes from them especially in a block out a woman block that out of middle America woman block. That makes them very upset about that and so consequently. I'm public enemy number one right now for speaker Pelosi all right. Michelle -- everyone thank you congresswoman."
