During one exchange, it was revealed that in March 2021 the Minnesota Department of Education suspended payments to the Feeding Our Future program over fears of fraud. Though the payments quickly resumed after state officials were baselessly accused of halting payments due to “racial discrimination.” 6:30pm- Department of Homeland Sec.

Nick Shirley argues that Tim Walz knew about Minnesota fraud for years and chose not to stop it. He points to past statements, campaign money questions, and political incentives, raising serious questions about who benefited and why accountability never came.

We are being blasted by noise, but we can still see what really matters. Some is casual and some performative? We need true voices of leadership on our side. Are you reacting or resonating? Be authentic because chaos hates that. This is what happens when deception is your job. There are some questionable people surrounding Mike Lindell. This current wild news cycle is not random. The shutdown was planned to stymie the military. Venezuela was first, Columbia is next. Code Pink and the imported uprisings. Watching them is someone's job. Creating noise and detering plans. A planned sacrifice of a hand picked volunteer. Why Tim Walz? Everyone should check their own state's audits. The Greenland debate heats up again. Did he say Ohio was paying migrant trafficking NGO's? What is Welcoming America? Standing between peace and the abyss. Leaders are seeking to inflame passions. President Trump understands strength. He's ending the biggest war since WWII. The dims need an event real bad. Akbar is fake and gay. He did Karl Rove, ewwwww. Those hanging chads were a planned event. Alex Jones exposed, again. Dim false flags are standard ops. Instability is not the same as lost control. Find your inner peace and get to know the still.

Fraud in Minnesota is now under intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill, as state Republicans tell Congress that massive schemes went unchecked for years despite repeated warnings from whistleblowers. Lawmakers during a hearing on Wednesday focused on allegations tied to pandemic-era programs, with testimony raising new questions about what state officials knew and when. Republican Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, who is now running for governor, joins the Rundown to discuss how she believes Minnesota state officials had been ignoring or actively suppressing investigations into the alleged fraud. The U.S. military went into Venezuela. Could Greenland be next? President Trump says the America needs the icy territory, which is a self-governing Danish territory, for national security purposes. Our allies, including Denmark, are pushing back against the administration's comments about seizing or even buying the island. Michael Allen, a managing director and partner at Beacon Global Strategies and a former special assistant to President George W. Bush at the National Security Council, explains the strategic value of Greenland for the U.S. and the possibility of Trump using military action to take control of it.

The story of welfare fraud in Minnesota keeps getting bigger. And no one in state government has worked harder and longer trying to sound the alarm about it than state Sen. Steve Drazkowski. He joins The Drill Down to discuss the growing evidence of widespread fraud in his state that may include not only welfare and child care fraud but vote fraud as well. Minn. Gov. Tim Walz, who was the Democrats' vice-presidential nominee in 2024, just abandoned his bid for a third term in the wake of the growing scandal, which exposed potentially billions of dollars in fraud committed mostly by Somalis in the Minneapolis area through fake feeding programs, daycare centers, and other social programs. Reporters have also identified political contributions to many of the state's most prominent politicians from Somali immigrants who have been implicated and/or prosecuted in the scams.

Congresswoman Emily Randall says we should ignore Somali daycare fraud so we can focus on white men. Washington State’s former auditor says the claims of DCYF child care fraud is worth looking into. Washington State troopers are urging drivers to be safer on the roads after a slew of crashes into patrol cars.

What happens when investigating fraud becomes a crime — but committing it doesn't?

It wasn't a flashy headline — but it revealed everything. When a Democrat attorney general warned journalists and citizens not to investigate Somali fraud or face arrest for a “hate crime,” the mask slipped.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he will no longer seek election for a third term. His announcement comes after Minnesota, under his leadership, misappropriated billions-of-dollars to fraudulent welfare claims. When asked why he was dropping out of the race, Walz quickly pivoted—noting that today is the five-year anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. 6:15pm- Senator Amy Klobuchar is expected to enter the Minnesota gubernatorial race to succeed Tim Walz. According to a popular social media conspiracy theory, if she wins election, she'll appoint Walz to fill her vacated U.S. Senate seat. 6:30pm- Could the U.S. purchase Greenland from Denmark? Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggests it could be a possibility.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (01/06/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered remarks from a House Republican retreat in Washington D.C. where he spoke about the successful capture of Venezuelan authoritarian Nicolas Maduro. On Monday, Maduro appeared in a New York court where he pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges. According to the New York Times, it will likely be more than a year before a jury is seated to weigh the evidence presented against him. 3:15pm- Democrat Hypocrisy: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned the Trump administration's actions in Venezuela. But in 2020 Schumer publicly criticized President Trump for not putting an end to Maduro's leadership. Meanwhile, in 2019 Senator Chris Murphy wrote and op-ed calling for regime change in Venezuela—however, he now opposes regime change! 3:30pm- Rich's BIG announcement: Beginning next week, The Rich Zeoli Show will take on a new form! The show will become a one-hour, nationally focused podcast which can be heard locally on 1210 WPHT from 6pm to 7pm! 3:45pm- The grocery store chain Wegmans has adopted biometrics which “collects, retains, converts, stores or shares customers' biometric identifier information.” The information includes facial recognition, eye scans, and voiceprints. 4:05pm- While speaking at a House Republican retreat in Washington D.C., President Donald Trump warned that if the GOP doesn't win the 2026 midterms, Democrats will create a reason to impeach him. 4:15pm- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he will no longer seek election for a third term. His announcement comes after Minnesota, under his leadership, misappropriated billions-of-dollars to fraudulent welfare claims. When asked why he was dropping out of the race, Walz quickly pivoted—noting that today is the five-year anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. 4:20pm- On Tuesday, Democrats held a meeting to mark the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6. During the meeting, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said: “That president who incited that insurrection, continues to lie about what happened...he was claiming that we did not ask for the National Guard...for over three hours we begged him.” But in a video, taken the day of the riot, then Speaker of the House Pelosi conceded that it was her fault the National Guard wasn't ready: "I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more." 4:30pm- A Minneapolis Hilton hotel canceled numerous room reservations after learning the guests were members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Hilton Hotels released a statement: "The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they recoil at Democrats' attempts to cover up corruption and failure but are glad to see it exposed. They also weigh on President Trump urging Republicans to be "flexible" when it comes to taxpayer-funded abortions.First, they welcome a day of congressional hearings that expose the full scope of the massive Minnesota welfare fraud scandal and the extraordinary lengths state officials allegedly went to hide it. Jim and Greg highlight testimony detailing how whistleblowers inside state government were pressured and intimidated in an effort to prevent the truth from emerging.Next, they reject President Trump's call for congressional Republicans to have flexibility on the Hyde Amendment as part of extending the Covid-era Obamacare subsidies. The Hyde Amendment forbids taxpayer dollars to be used to pay for abortions. Jim says flexibility is not even a practical option on this issue and Greg wants to know why Trump is asking the GOP to surrender any ground on this issue when its already making a huge concession.Finally, they fume as the author of the report on the Pacific Palisades fire refuses to endorse it after politicians and fire officials made "substantial modifications" and "significant deletions of information" to make the LAFD look better in its response to the fires. Please visit our great sponsors:Visit https://CoastPay.com/3ML to get free gas for a whole day.

Watch 'The Venezuela Operation' here: https://ept.ms/49I2LA3The White House is criticizing Gov. Tim Walz amid the Minnesota fraud scandal. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News, “[President Donald Trump] believes that Governor Walz is criminally liable, and I think the Department of Justice is going to find out.”The former running mate for Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election recently announced that he would not run for a third term as governor, and he is now under pressure over the widespread fraud being exposed in the state.In other news, the fraud being uncovered in Minnesota might not be limited to just that state. Similar forms of welfare fraud are now being found across the country, and President Donald Trump recently alleged that the situation in California might be even worse.We'll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

On this episode of Fox Across America, Jimmy Failla explains why Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is starting to realize that his political future is over following the latest allegations in the COVID-era fraud scandal in his state. Host of the “Kennedy Saves The World” podcast Kennedy checks in from the Pacific Palisades to discuss how California Governor Gavin Newsom has completely botched the recovery effort in that community after the deadly wildfire that happened exactly one year ago.

Today on Stinchfield, a congressional hearing is finally pulling the curtain back on the massive Minnesota Somali fraud scandal. Tens of millions of taxpayer dollars meant for hungry kids and struggling families allegedly siphoned off, while Democrats looked the other way. We break down what lawmakers are uncovering, who knew what, and why accountability has been delayed for years. Then, a shocking moment from the Somali community itself. One Somali born immigrant in Minnisota issues a blunt warning that America will soon become a Muslim nation. We’ll play the clip, examine what was said, and ask why concerns like this are dismissed as conspiracy theories until they are spoken out loud on the record. And as Washington turns its attention to Minnesota, President Trump widens the investigative spotlight, putting Gavin Newsom and California squarely in the crosshairs. From fraud to failed governance, the pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. This is about corruption, ideology, and a ruling class that believes the rules do not apply to them. https://TheMaverickSystem.comhttps://GrantLovesGold.comhttps://www.EnergizedHealth.com/Granthttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/Granthttps://Twc.Health/Grant with code “Grant” for 10% offhttps://vraletter.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Debt Slaves & the Uniparty: How Fraud, Welfare, and Open Borders Collide

Tara breaks down what the media refuses to connect: sanctions ignored, illegal oil flowing through Venezuela, terror regimes getting rich, and massive domestic fraud keeping the whole system afloat. While headlines scream “Trump is unhinged,” the reality is far more methodical. Court-ordered sanctions are finally being enforced, a Russian “ghost fleet” is being challenged, and the same money funding illegal oil is also propping up riots, fraud, and a broken immigration system at home. This episode pulls the curtain back on the oil, the money, the submarines—and the panic behind the noise.
