Episode 5057: The Fraud Continues In Minnesota; Color Revolution In America

Nick Shirley explains how his Minnesota fraud investigation went viral online days before legacy media responded. As politicians and federal agencies react publicly, Nick reveals that departments are now reaching out to him for information they should already have.

Shaun uncovers MORE fraud (if that is even possible!) PLUS, The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal gives Shaun a sneak-peak at their World Prosperity Forum happening in Switzerland to counter the World Economic Forum.

1. New Year’s Resolutions The first part of the discussion is lighthearted and personal. Both hosts share their resolutions for 2026: Ted Cruz’s resolutions: Lose 30 pounds (from 236 lbs to 206 lbs) through diet and exercise. Complete a “Dry January” (no alcohol for the month). Read the Bible daily throughout the year. Ben Ferguson’s resolutions: Focus on building muscle after significant weight loss (from 298 lbs to 209 lbs). Commit to reading the Bible daily alongside Cruz. They also reflect on family life, parenting, and the emotional challenges of children growing up and leaving home. 2. Minnesota Shooting, Riots & Fraud The second part shifts to a serious political discussion: Incident in Minnesota: A woman allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent with her SUV and was fatally shot. The hosts argue that the Left is politicizing the event, portraying the woman as a victim, and using the situation to attack law enforcement. Rhetoric and Violence: They criticize Democratic leaders for inflammatory language, claiming it encourages violence against ICE and law enforcement. Examples include: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get out” of the city. Governor Tim Walz suggesting Minnesota is “at war” with the federal government. Fraud Scandal: They discuss a massive Somali-related fraud in Minnesota, allegedly involving $9 billion in taxpayer funds across multiple sectors (childcare, transportation, etc.). The conversation frames this as deliberate Democratic corruption tied to immigration policies and vote-buying. Law Enforcement Advice: Practical tips for interacting safely with police during traffic stops are shared, emphasizing respect and de-escalation. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Nick Shirley explains how his viral investigation sparked door-to-door government inspections, political backlash, and demands for accountability. As arrests lag and officials deflect, the question becomes whether anyone will face consequences or if nothing happens at all.

Nick Shirley reveals the personal cost of exposing fraud, including threats, doxxing, and harassment targeting his family. He explains how accusations of racism are used to silence accountability, why his generation rejects that fear, and what keeps him pushing forward.

Nick Shirley reacts to AP and Newsweek reporting showing 89 percent of Minnesota fraud cases tied to one community. He explains why accountability is about data, not identity, and shares tense encounters that forced him to hire security while continuing his investigation.

She began her professional journey writing for The Guardian and New Statesman and currently contributes to The Times, The Jerusalem Post, and The Jewish Chronicle, focusing on political and social issues.

**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation** Whether it's some within the Minneapolis Somali community racking in millions of dollars from government grants for fraudulent businesses or severely unqualified illegal aliens obtaining commercial truck driving licenses, these groups were “categorized by officials as on the victimized, oppressed side of the lecture. And therefore, they were not completely audited. Because, if they had been audited, the cries of racism, nativism, etc., prejudice, bias would've been voiced. And people didn't want to be exposed to that,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” These non-meritocratic DEI recipients are thrown into a self-perpetuating system that encourages them to continuously engage in illegal activity as they will never face consequences for their actions. When audits stop, deterrence dies—and corruption thrives.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) recently suspended nearly 7,000 Minnesota borrowers for suspected fraud in pandemic-era small business loans totaling nearly $400 million.“We worked through the holidays, from Thanksgiving up to New Year's on about 20,000 different files, found about 8,000 instances of fraudulent loans, and moved quickly to make sure that those borrowers … could never access the services of the SBA again,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler.They'll now be taking the same model to investigate other states for COVID-era abuse of the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans.In this episode, I sat down with Loeffler to understand her work targeting fraud nationwide, bolstering domestic manufacturing, cutting regulations, and ending politically motivated debanking.Loeffler grew up on a family farm in Illinois, was the first in her family to graduate from college, and later became a successful businesswoman in finance and FinTech before becoming a U.S. senator and now head of the SBA.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Vice President JD Vance announced the creation of a new Department of Justice division to combat fraud nationwide. The Trump Administration established this DOJ division following a rise in fraud in states like Minnesota. The Sekulow team discusses the White House sending federal prosecutors to Minnesota as part of its national fraud enforcement efforts, Attorney General Pam Bondi's statement, the scandals under Gov. Tim Walz's watch, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – I am watching Minnesota's safety net fail the people it claims to protect. Fraud, political cowardice, and ignored warnings leave families vulnerable and taxpayers betrayed. This is a demand for accountability, equal enforcement of the law, and real consequences for those who looked away while corruption flourished at the expense of ordinary Americans...

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Walz's response to the story is not one of denial. He readily admits Minnesota has a problem, and he, along with other state officials, is working to correct it. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali naturalized citizen who represents the district, agrees with the governor. Minnesota is working to address the fraud problem, which, by all accounts, has existed since 2009. But if they...

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.

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.
