Minneapolis city officials say a new report on the economic effects of the federal immigration enforcement surge can help provide a roadmap for how to direct relief efforts. The city estimates the surge caused nearly $700 million in economic harm, most of that due to lost wages and business revenue.Additionally, the Minneapolis City Council is set to take up two measures this morning related to George Floyd Square. One is whether to approve a special tax assessment on property owners at the square to help cover the cost of a street reconstruction project that just started.Minnesota lawmakers want to memorialize a peer lost to political violence and prevent future threats. Almost one year ago, a gunman shot and killed House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home. The gunman also shot Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, who both survived. The shootings rocked the state. And in the months since, lawmakers sought to remember the Hortmans by renaming a highway, bike trail and Capitol garden.The man charged with killing Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark is expected to plead guilty this morning.A Feeding Our Future defendant who fled to Kenya is back in Minnesota to face charges after surrendering to authorities.Minneapolis estimates Operation Metro Surge cost the city $700 millionMinneapolis City Council to weigh two measures related to George Floyd SquareSteps to honor Hortman, prevent future tragedies take root in year since her assassinationBoelter expected to plead guilty in lawmaker attacks
Former US Attorney Andy Luger discusses the prison sentence for Aimee Bock and other issues wrapping up an extended visit to the show.
Class is officially in session today as host Patrick sits in for Joe to deliver a masterclass in media accountability and factual reporting. We are diving deep into the blatant bias of local reporting, specifically dissecting how Kyle Clark and mainstream commentators selectively edit and weaponize clips to mislead the public. Patrick sets the record straight on the media's coordinated distortion of conservative statements, confronting the narrative head-on with actual constitutional context, federal law, and an unedited look at the facts they desperately want to leave out.But the mainstream media's spin is only one piece of a much larger puzzle. In this hard-hitting episode, we pull back the curtain on the systemic efforts by the political Left to reshape America. From staggering allegations of a multi-billion-dollar migrant funneling system designed to undermine our Constitutional Republic, to the undeniable hypocrisy surrounding race and culture in modern education, Patrick connects the dots that the establishment media refuses to touch. We'll also look at cultural commentators like Bill Maher, who are finally calling out the systematic brainwashing of American youth.Finally, we track the money and the absolute lack of accountability among progressive leadership. We dive into the ongoing fallout in Minnesota, exposing Ilhan Omar's refusal to turn over documents regarding the massive $250 million "Feeding Our Future" fraud, alongside controversial executive pardons that undermine immigration enforcement. This is an episode dedicated to context, truth, and exposing the institutional rot from the media to the halls of government—you will not want to miss a single minute.
Aimee Bock, the woman at the center of Minnesota's massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, has officially been sentenced to 41.5 years in prison after prosecutors said the scheme stole hundreds of millions of dollars meant to feed children during the pandemic.This was not small-time fraud. DOJ said the scheme involved fake meal counts, fraudulent rosters, and claims that tens of millions of meals were served — while taxpayer dollars were allegedly funneled into luxury homes, cars, travel, and real estate.Now the question becomes bigger than Aimee Bock:Who enabled this?Who ignored the warning signs?What did Minnesota officials know?And why are figures like Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz, and Keith Ellison now facing renewed scrutiny from critics demanding answers?Omar denies wrongdoing, but Minnesota lawmakers have raised questions about the MEALS Act, pandemic-era waivers, and whether key political figures did enough to prevent one of the largest fraud scandals in American history.President Trump has made one thing clear: fraudsters who steal from the American people should face real consequences.For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (656) 218-0931 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/nez▶Sign up to our Free Newsletter, so you never miss out: https://bio.site/professornez▶ ORIGINAL MADE IN U.S.A 250TH AMERICA DESIGNS: https://professornez.myspreadshop.com/

Somalian fraudsters were held accountable for schemes in Minnesota. The ringleader of the Feeding Our Future plot was sentenced to 41 years in jail, and 15 others were charged over alleged $90M fraud schemes. One of the people charged was exposed in the viral Nick Shirley video. But despite the monumental news, it barely got a mention by the liberal media, which would much rather talk about Stephen Colbert's final show. Texas attorney general candidate and state Sen. Mayes Middleton (R) joins the show to talk about why he's the right person for the job. The Department of Homeland Security closed a MASSIVE immigration loophole that has helped facilitate the onslaught of visa fraud we're facing. They department is now forcing people who want to get a green card to return to their home countries to apply and wait their turn to get back into America.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Branding vs. Education Clay Travis and Buck Sexton give an in‑depth critique of the American higher education system, with specific attention to grade inflation, standardized testing, and admissions fairness. The hosts highlight Harvard University’s decision to eliminate widespread grade inflation and reintroduce a bell curve grading model, noting that a large majority of students had been receiving A grades. They trace the historical roots of grade inflation back to the Vietnam War era, when professors were reluctant to assign low grades that could result in students being drafted, and argue that the COVID‑19 pandemic accelerated the trend by lowering academic expectations nationwide. The conversation expands into a broader analysis of elite universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, comparing traditional grading systems with pass‑fail models used in some law schools. While acknowledging arguments that elite students perform at a higher level, the hosts ultimately contend that grade inflation has eroded academic standards and made it harder to distinguish top performers. This leads into a discussion of the rise and fall of test‑optional admissions policies, which surged during 2020 but were later reversed after colleges found that standardized testing remained one of the most reliable ways to evaluate student readiness. Get Smarter Listening to This Ryan Girdusky joins the show to dissect the Democratic National Committee’s “autopsy” of the 2024 election loss, which returned Donald Trump to the presidency. The hosts highlight dramatic long-term political realignment trends, noting how Democrats have lost significant ground since 2009 across the Senate, House, governorships, and state legislatures, with Republicans gaining dominance in key regions. Girdusky argues the DNC report fails to address critical issues—especially Joe Biden’s age and Kamala Harris’s campaign weaknesses—while crediting effective Trump campaign messaging for reshaping voter perceptions. The discussion underscores how Republican gains, particularly in the South, reflect a broader collapse of historic Democratic strongholds and the lingering impact of the Obama era on local politics. MN Fraud Isn't a One-Off Clay and Buck discuss the breaking news of a major Minnesota fraud case, where the mastermind behind the “Feeding Our Future” scheme is sentenced to more than 41 years in prison for orchestrating a $250 million COVID relief fraud, funds originally intended to feed children. Clay and Buck highlight this case as a symbol of broader systemic government waste, fraud, and abuse, arguing that such large-scale theft underscores failures in federal oversight and accountability. The conversation expands into a critique of government spending and fiscal policy, with the hosts asserting that fraud like this is not an isolated incident but part of a larger trend of mismanagement of taxpayer dollars. They argue that calls from Democrats to raise taxes—particularly on high earners—ignore the core issue of inefficient spending, contending that Americans are already overpaying into a system riddled with waste. This naturally leads into a broader economic debate, including criticism of progressive figures such as Zohran Mamdani and commentary on Jeff Bezos’ public remarks about taxation and public spending, which the hosts use to argue that increasing tax revenue does not necessarily lead to better outcomes in public services like education. After the Sports High... Clay chats with Steve Eubanks, sports journalist and author of “Godball” - the first book to seriously examine the modern surge of public Christian faith in American sports. Steve interviewed high-profile Christian athletes including Scottie Scheffler, Riley Gaines, Kirk Cousins, Jonathan Isaac, Dabo Swinney, and others, allowing them to share—in their own words—the role faith plays in their careers and lives. Steve explores the pivotal moment one Supreme Court case made and offers rare insight from athletes and coaches into this growing revival of faith in sports.

This segment of The Buck Stops Here features Dan Buck reacting to the lack of mainstream media coverage of a large pro-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., followed by a shift into political commentary on media bias and selective reporting. The conversation moves into entertainment-style political satire, highlighting an AI-generated parody song tied to the Los Angeles mayoral race featuring figures like Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi. The discussion then pivots sharply to alleged large-scale fraud in government programs, with Buck focusing on Minnesota's “Feeding Our Future” scandal, a reported $250 million scheme involving fraudulent meal claims through sham nonprofits. He argues that systemic fraud of this scale requires institutional complicity and criticizes oversight failures at both state and federal levels, citing whistleblowers and investigative reporting that suggest political connections and possible involvement by elected officials. The segment closes with broader claims that fraud networks may span multiple states and parties, while emphasizing the need for criminal accountability at higher levels of government rather than only targeting lower-level offenders.

Beloved,Have you ever wondered why, despite record-breaking spending on social issues, the problems never seem to get solved? It's because society is currently wrapped in a Global Fraud Industrial Complex—a system that prioritizes the movement of capital over actual results.The Minnesota Fraud was never local. It was the visible fracture point in a Global Fraud Industrial Complex designed to harvest human energy at every level through a reinforcing feedback loop that has operated for generations.The “Virtue” LoopThe system works through a clever feedback loop. ‘It starts with a “moral purpose,” like public health or disaster relief. Because the goal is objectively good, we tend to lower our guard. This creates a “Moral Shield,” where billions can flow through nonprofits and agencies with very little scrutiny. If anyone asks where the money went, the system deflects by claiming the critic is “anti-charity.”What matters is how these networks functioned once fraud was proven and allowed to continue. Federal indictments and sentencing memoranda repeatedly showed the same patterns. Each domain produces its own Minnesota scale extraction node. Medicaid alone generated the June 2025 takedown with 14.6 billion dollars in alleged fraud across diagnostic testing, medical visits, addiction treatment centers, durable medical equipment suppliers, telemedicine providers, genetic testing laboratories, and wound care clinics. Minnesota specific audits flagged 9 billion dollars or more in potential fraud across 14 high risk Medicaid services that billed 18 billion dollars since 2018. The same phantom patient rosters, inflated claims, kickback arrangements, and shell provider networks that operated through Feeding Our Future meal sites now scale through home health agencies, behavioral health providers, and durable medical equipment companies nationwide. We feel our health energy shortened here as these operational layers connect upward into the Washington DC regulatory and legislative scaffolding where bills are written and agencies are directed to maintain the extraction velocity.Providers shared addresses. Shell entities appeared briefly, billed heavily, and dissolved. Recruiters moved families between programs. The same bookkeepers and tax preparers appeared across unrelated cases. These overlaps were documented, not inferred, and they cut across nutrition, housing, and behavioral health programs.At the political level, Minnesota offered a uniquely domestic frame. The exposure of fraud would not implicate a foreign government, a treaty partner, or an active conflict zone. No international financial clearing systems were involved. There was no diplomatic fallout risk. Everything could be handled inside U.S. courts, by U.S. prosecutors, under U.S. statutes. That made escalation possible earlier than in environments where exposure would immediately trigger international consequences.Domestic political dynamics reinforced this containment. Ilhan Omar ensured that scrutiny of Minnesota would be interpreted through denial, debate, defense, and criticism would remain part of domestic discourse rather than international confrontation. This internal framing mattered because federal demonstration cases must be legible. The objective is not simply conviction. It is signal. Minnesota mafia at the top allowed the signal to be delivered without distortion.The Layers of ControlThis grid isn't just about money; it's about Information Control. Specific organizations are tasked with “classifying” information. They decide what you're allowed to see and which voices are considered “safe.” When narrative control is combined with financial control, it becomes almost impossible for the average person to see the full architecture.The Trinity of PowerAt the very top, the world is governed by three primary forces that work in tandem:* Finance: The management of global debt and the clearing of capital.* Faith: The management of moral and spiritual authority.* Force: The military and legal structures that protect the status quo.From Extraction to SovereigntyThe good news? This system relies on remaining invisible. Once the “scaffolding” is recognized, it starts to lose its power. Britain's Imperial Gambit: Trump Assassination TheoryA third assassination attempt on Trump occurred at the Washington Hilton during King Charles's Congressional visit. Analyst Susan Kokinda argues this is no coincidence, but rather Britain's desperate response to Trump's protectionist “American System”—which threatens the UK's postwar global influence. Britain's Last Play: Hidden Imperial Hand Exposed Behind Trump's Third Assassination Attempt as King Charles Arrives in DC Historical precedent: President McKinley, another American System advocate, was assassinated in 1901 as the British Empire felt threatened. Kokinda points to recent House of Lords admissions that Britain's imperial power depends entirely on US cooperation, suggesting motive and means for covert operations.
Prosecutors in the Feeding Our Future case will be back in court Thursday to ask a judge to prohibit convicted fraudster Aimee Bock from contacting her two adult sons from jail. That's after Bock allegedly directed them to send confidential documents from her case to elected officials and the news media. Reporter Matt Sepic joined MPR News host Nina Moini to break down this latest twist in a case he's been following for the last four years.Read the full story here: Feds: Feeding Our Future ringleader tried to ‘minimize her starring role' by leaking secret documents from jail
Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 24, 2026. We open with a stunning and deeply consequential indictment that could reshape how Americans view one of the country’s most powerful nonprofit organizations. Federal prosecutors allege that the Southern Poverty Law Center funneled millions in donor funds to individuals tied to extremist groups — a claim that cuts directly against the organization’s public mission. From there, we follow the trail into Washington, where Rep. Jim Jordan is demanding answers about possible coordination between the SPLC and the Biden administration. How close was the relationship? Where does advocacy end and government influence begin? And what happens if those lines were crossed? We dig into the details laid out in the indictment — including allegations of shell companies, hidden financial channels, and internal acknowledgments that raise serious questions about intent. Then we zoom out to the bigger picture: whether organizations built to monitor extremism may have had incentives to amplify or even sustain it, and what transparency should look like when nonprofits intersect with federal power. In our Top 3, global tensions rise as President Trump escalates pressure on Iran with renewed peace talks and a significant U.S. military presence in the region — signaling that diplomacy may be nearing its breaking point. Back at home, the Department of Justice drops its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell after billion-dollar renovation overruns, raising fresh questions about accountability and oversight. And in a chilling case out of Texas, authorities stop a planned terror attack targeting a synagogue — a reminder of how real and immediate these threats remain. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, tackle a viral cultural flashpoint: a doctor proudly refusing to return her shopping cart. What starts as a seemingly trivial debate quickly turns into something deeper — a conversation about personal responsibility, public behavior, and what small actions reveal about character. In our Digging Deep segment, we break down a striking example of government efficiency versus excess. After a $34 million renovation of the National Mall reflecting pool failed to last even 15 years, a new plan slashes the cost to just $1.5 million — avoiding a proposed $300 million overhaul. It’s a case study in how leadership, priorities, and execution can dramatically change outcomes. We also examine a major fraud investigation tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar and the $250 million “Feeding Our Future” scandal, where expanded funding and reduced oversight may have opened the door to one of the largest pandemic-era fraud schemes in the country. Plus, a look at Americans fleeing California in search of affordability, a growing debate over AI’s role in replacing human skill and judgment, and a fast-paced round of “Real News, Fake News, or Really Fake News.” Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, visit AmericanGroundRadio.com, and join the conversation at 866-AGR-1776!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A proposal to boost state funding to schools for safety measures stalled in a House committee Tuesday. The broad school safety package would direct state funding to public and private schools intended to bolster security. The Republican bill would let school districts set up anonymous threat reporting lines, as well as allowing suspensions of young students.Wednesday is the deadline to file your taxes — but if you haven't finished filing, you have options. The judge presiding over the Feeding Our Future case continues to hand down sentences. The latest defendant to appear in court got 18 months in prison. Since late 2022, 58 people have pleaded guilty and another 7 were convicted at trial in a $300 million scheme that prosecutors say was the nation's largest COVID fraud.

The Legislature returns Tuesday after a weeklong break. So far, this year's session has been heavy on conflict. The narrowly split Legislature came into session with a lot of pressing matters to address: immigration enforcement actions, gun violence, fraud and a tight budget. Lawmakers have six weeks to finish their work.The first defendant in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme to admit his involvement is avoiding prison because of his cooperation with investigators. After the FBI raided Feeding Our Future's offices and two dozen other locations in early 2022, Bekam Merdassa was the first conspirator to come forward. He pleaded guilty later that year.Many farmers across Minnesota will soon start planting their crops. While some ordered the fertilizer and fuel they'll need ahead of time, those who didn't now face huge price increases due to the war in Iran.

On this Thursday edition of The A.M. Update, Aaron McIntire breaks down the latest from the escalating conflict with Iran, where top leadership has been eliminated, military branches crippled, and U.S. officials project overwhelming dominance in Operation Epic Fury. We cover confident assessments from President Trump and key Pentagon voices, contrasting congressional caution on terminology, and report the tragic loss of the first four American service members. Updates on conflicting claims about Kurdish involvement add intrigue to the ground situation. Stateside, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz faces intense questioning over a major fraud scandal and disputed statements about payment restarts, while newly minted Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico draws scrutiny for controversial theological takes and past social media posts. Plus, a strong biblical defense of personal charity versus government compulsion, the passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz, poll results on Iran's future, and more. A.M.

1. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s Senate Testimony Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was questioned in the Senate regarding alleged failures to prevent and address large‑scale fraud in the state’s Feeding Our Future program. Senators—primarily Josh Hawley—accused Ellison of: Ignoring whistleblower warnings as early as 2018–2019. Meeting with individuals later indicted for fraud and allegedly offering to “look into” investigators who were scrutinizing them. Accepting approximately $10,000 in campaign donations from individuals tied to the fraud shortly after their meeting. Ellison strongly denied wrongdoing, describing the claims as false and politically motivated. The session was tense, marked by interruptions, raised voices, and confrontational exchanges. 2. Refusal to Condemn Louis Farrakhan During questioning, Ellison declined to explicitly condemn antisemitic statements attributed to Louis Farrakhan. He attempted to redirect discussion to immigration topics, expressing discomfort with the line of questioning. 3. Democrats Linked to Record Sewage Spill Democratic officials in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia oversaw infrastructure failures leading to the largest sewage spill in U.S. history. A burst 72‑inch sewer pipe released nearly one billion gallons of raw sewage into the Potomac River. Criticism is directed at: Lack of media coverage. Slow response times. Infrastructure mismanagement. Emergency pumps had to be transported from Texas and Florida to address the crisis. 4. Discussion of Government Competence Democratic‑run cities and states mismanage public systems (snow removal, wildfire mitigation, infrastructure maintenance, etc.). They argue such patterns reflect systemic governmental incompetence. 5. Save America Act & Voter ID Debate The Save America Act, passed in the House with near‑unanimous Republican support, requires: Proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. Photo ID to vote. Senator Ted Cruz advocates for aggressive procedural tactics in the Senate, including: Forcing a “talking filibuster.” Using the two‑speech rule to pressure Democratic senators. The argument made: voter ID laws are widely supported across political and demographic groups. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

1. Large-Scale Individual Fraud Example A Los Angeles contractor, Alexander Suker, is accused of stealing $23 million intended to feed and house homeless individuals. Funds were allegedly used for luxury homes, cars, vacations, designer goods, and private schools, instead of homeless services. 2. Failure to Deliver Promised Services Suker was contracted to provide three meals per day to up to 600 homeless people. Inspections reportedly found only canned beans and ramen noodles, contradicting billing claims. Prosecutors allege the use of fake vendors, falsified facilities, and false service records. 3. Broader Pattern of Fraud in California Federal authorities indicate at least 12 additional similar cases under investigation. A U.S. Attorney stated that large sums were pushed out quickly with minimal vetting or checks and balances. 4. Comparison to Other State Scandals Investigators and commentators compare California’s situation to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future fraud, claiming California’s fraud may be larger in scale. Independent investigator Nick Shirley claims billions of dollars may be involved statewide. 5. Alleged Billions in Unaccounted Public Funds $70 billion in taxpayer funds missing or unaccounted for $24 billion spent on allegedly nonexistent homelessness programs $18 billion on nonfunctional high-speed rail $32 billion in stolen COVID relief funds $2.5 billion lost to SNAP fraud 6. Political and Structural Implications California leadership is accused of enabling fraud by prioritizing rapid spending over accountability. Calls are made for whistleblower lawsuits as a tool to recover funds. Critics argue that higher taxes are being proposed despite massive losses. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
