41st governor of Minnesota
POPULARITY
The state of Minnesota is hiring a third-party auditor to look for fraud in 14 Medicaid programs. These programs are intended to provide housing and care for people with disabilities and severe mental illnesses. Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday the state will temporarily stop paying providers of these services while the auditor, Optum, analyzes billing. A statement from the governor's office said this pause will last 90 days, but's not clear when it will begin. Josh Berg is director of Minnesota services and strategic growth for nonprofit Accessible Space, Inc. He's also on the board of directors of Association of Residential Resources in Minnesota, which lobbies on behalf of disability service providers. He spoke to MPR News host Nina Moini about how this pause could impact how providers can care for people with disabilities and severe mental health illnesses.
Hour 3 of the show begins with Jon talking about how the University of Minnesota will no longer hold High School Graduations. Then Jon talks about Tim Walz trying to combat fraud by hiring a third party to do audits.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bill Gates' latest op-ed where he reversed his long-standing claim that climate change is a threat to humanity. Turner explains, “Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze he helped ignite. There's no new science, no new revelation—only a billionaire trying to rewrite his role in the destruction he financed. Gates knows his green crusade has crushed working families with unaffordable energy costs, but now that the political winds have shifted, he wants to act like the voice of reason. The American people won't forget who helped light the fire in the first place.” 6:30pm- During a Senate hearing on political violence, conservative commentator Michael Knowles called out Sen. Cory Booker for his continued support of Jay Jones—a Virginia Attorney General candidate who once called for the death of his political opponent. 6:40pm- MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace claimed that no Democrats have compared Donald Trump to Hitler. Well, here's a two-minute montage—featuring JB Pritzker, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Hillary Clinton, Tim Walz, Beto O'Rourke, Joe Biden, Dan Goldman, AOC, and Nancy Pelosi—disproving Wallace's claim.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/28/2025): 3:05pm- Moderation within the Democratic Party is vanishing—it's now a party that mirrors the ideology of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders. 3:30pm- Early voting in New Jersey began on Saturday, October 25th. According to reports, “unaffiliated” voter turnout is already up—and most polling seems to indicate those voters will prefer Jack Ciattarelli over Mikie Sherrill. 3:40pm- While delivering remarks during a visit to Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan, President Donald Trump announced Toyota will invest $10 billion in automotive manufacturing plants across America—telling the crowd: “go out and buy a Toyota!” 4:05pm- Robert Peters—Senior Research Fellow for Strategic Deterrence in Heritage's Allison Center for National Security—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a new Netflix film, “House of Dynamite,” which Bloomberg reports is causing the Pentagon to “fret.” In the film, a nuclear missile is launched at the United States, but is the Pentagon unable to repel the attack with interceptors? Peters explains what the movie gets wrong. 4:40pm- NBC10 reporter Lauren Mayk confronted Mikie Sherrill over her outlandish claim that Jack Ciattarelli is responsible for the deaths of “tens of thousands of people”—citing his tangential involvement in marketing for pharmaceutical companies. While appearing on Fox News, Ciattarelli revealed that his campaign intends to sue Sherrill over the baseless allegations. Rich notes that Sherrill's line of attack is so abnormal and crazy that most voters will just dismiss it. 5:00pm- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comey is demanding the Department of Justice investigate former President Joe Biden's use of the autopen—suggesting the administration covered up Biden's cognitive decline and, consequently, his autopen actions should be “void.” 5:15pm- CNN polling expert Harry Enten says the numbers don't lie—the Republican Party's approval rating has risen 5-points since the government shutdown began. Democrats in the Senate have refused to advance a continuing resolution to fund the government 12 times. 5:20pm- Moderation within the Democratic Party is vanishing—it's now a party that mirrors the ideology of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders. 5:40pm- After claiming his aunt was unable to wear her hijab on the subway following 9/11, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was forced to amend his story. 6:00pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Bill Gates' latest op-ed where he reversed his long-standing claim that climate change is a threat to humanity. Turner explains, “Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze he helped ignite. There's no new science, no new revelation—only a billionaire trying to rewrite his role in the destruction he financed.

As one of today's designated blame game players, Tim Walz gets hysterical now that the Federal Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program is in danger of defaulting on benefit payments to 40 million Americans.
With a week to go before Minnesota's municipal elections, some voters are going to see some familiar faces on their ballots. Minneapolis and St. Paul mayors Jacob Frey and Melvin Carter are both vying for a third term. In 2026, Gov.Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are hoping to be elected to their positions for a third time, too. Why are we seeing so many Minnesota politicians running for third terms in office? The director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, Larry Jacobs, joined Minnesota Now to explain.

The Geekz head into brutal territory in our 31 Days of Horror marathon with The Brute (2025) — the latest nightmare from director Marcel Walz, reimagining the 1976 cult classic with a savage modern twist. When Raquel and her girlfriend break down on a deserted highway, they stumble upon what appears to be an abandoned mine — only to discover a violent family of masked killers lurking in the shadows. As their friends arrive in a nearby town called Savage, they uncover its gruesome history of bloodshed… and realize the nightmare has only just begun. In our review, we break down the film's relentless pacing, gritty atmosphere, and shocking kills that push the boundaries of backwoods horror. We'll talk about Walz's disturbing visual style, the performances that make this low-budget shocker feel uncomfortably real, and how The Brute (2025) reinvents rural horror for a new generation. Is this modern remake a brutal masterpiece — or just a bloody descent into chaos? Find out as we continue reviewing 31 horror movies for 31 days of October!

Topic: The Mark of the Beast Passage: Revelation 13-14 Speaker: Dan Walz
Donald Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him $230 million for the indictments that he suffered last year and the criminal trials that never ended up happening. This demand will be decided by the very people that depend on Trump for a job, and there's little doubt that they will give in to his demand. This may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for millions of Americans who will NOT look kindly on Trump stealing their tax dollars to put directly into his bank account. During an appearance on Steve Bannon's podcast this week, Mike Lindell, the self-described "broke" founder of MyPillow, teased a potential run for public office. While going on an Islamaphobic rant about the state of Minnesota, Lindell teased a potential run for governor against incumbent Tim Walz, who is one of the most-liked governors in the country. Lindell has no chance of winning, but a political campaign can raise a lot of money for someone that is in need of cash.Donald Trump was hit with a rather humorous new lawsuit (though it 100% has merit) this week over his "big beautiful bill." One of the provisions of the bill is that asylum seekers are now required to pay the government $100 to come into the country, but in their haste to write and pass the bill, nobody bothered to set up a system to even receive these payments. The administration now has to go to court to explain why they are such complete failures at EVERYTHING - unless it was all part of an evil scheme to prevent any asylum seekers in the first place. They will either be exposed as idiots or monsters.Donald Trump's political prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James is basically over at this point, after a legal analyst pointed out a massive flaw in US Attorney Lindsey Halligan's charging documents. It turns out that the very thing they indicted James for (misusing a mortgage loan for a rental property) was EXPLICITLY ALLOWED in her loan documents. In other words - James is being charged for doing something that the bank told her she was allowed to do. This is effectively "case dismissed."Donald Trump made a lot of people from across the political spectrum angry last week when he commuted the sentence of fraudster and former Republican Congressman George Santos, wiping out years of his prison sentence as well as the restitution that he owed his victims. But justice has a funny way of coming back to bite you. Santos can still face charges at the state level, and the District Attorney in Nassau County teased that charges could be on the way against Santos very soon.

Tax Guru continues answering talkback questions. Law Enforcement conduct weeks long seatbelt enforcement campaign. Gov Tim Walz gives details over Town Hall plans to ban assault “style” firearms.
Guest host Steve Hallstrom fills in for Scott Hennen, co-piloting with Kevin Flynn, covering the absurdity of the federal government shutdown as it stretches into its third week. The hosts play audio of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Citizens United President Dave Bossie, who blast Democrats for prioritizing wasteful foreign aid and special-interest spending over funding the military and border security. The hosts reveal a hidden facet of the trade war with China: a potential tariff on "used cooking oil" (gutter oil), which hurts U.S. soybean farmers. Steve then interviews Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls, an Army veteran and successful businessman, who presents a common-sense, three-part plan to defeat Tim Walz and restore "normal" to Minnesota by cutting taxes, fighting crime, and fixing education. Political Hypocrisy and the Shutdown Democrat Sabotage: The hosts and guests condemn Democrats for engaging in "performative stunts" and holding out on a clean funding bill for "pure politics". They point out that Schumer's stated goal is to "fix the health care crisis looming over the American people" , which the hosts believe is a fight solely to fund health care for illegal immigrants. Exposing Wasteful Spending: Mike Johnson and Dave Bossie list examples of the Democrats' "reckless" spending that Republicans are trying to cut, including: $24.6 million to "climate resilience in Honduras" $13.4 million for "civic engagement in Zimbabwe" $3.9 million for "LGBTQI democracy grants in the Balkans" Consequences for Americans: Farmers are unable to cash hundreds of thousands of dollars in checks because the FSA (Federal Crop Lending) offices are closed. Mike Johnson warns that the Democrats' choice is causing "real personal and economic strain" for troops, TSA, and air traffic controllers. Fetterman's Common Sense: Senator John Fetterman is praised as a reasonable Democrat for publicly stating that conservative Trump supporters are "not fascists" or trying to destroy the Constitution. Trade, Agriculture, and China The Gutter Oil Threat: President Trump threatened to place a 100% tariff on goods, specifically "used cooking oil," coming from China. Hurting U.S. Farmers: This used cooking oil is often called "gutter oil" in China. While it is not imported for direct food use, it's used as a cheap ingredient (one-third the price of soybean oil) in biofuel production. The hosts and callers argue that banning this oil would boost demand and prices for U.S. soybeans. Bison Rankings: The NDSU Bison football team is ranked number 38 in…
Gov. Tim Walz says Minnesota is starting to feel the impacts of the federal government shutdown. A northern Minnesota tribe is suing 3M over pollution from "forever chemicals."And wildland firefighting crews continue working to fully contain the Crosby Fire burning in a remote part of a state park on the North Shore.
www.commsolutionsmn.com- With so many things going up in flames (figuratively and literally) these days, we start the show with some ideas to torch the sport of baseball's customs. We need to ease into the bad news today. In a case of the shifting political landscape in America, Vivek Ramaswami won an endorsement from the Teamster's Union in his bid to become Ohio's governor. Who's next... Pennsylvania? Things aren't looking good for the Dems in the near future and we're too happy to lay it out for you. Kamala Harris' new book is proof positive, as she single-handedly tears down most every Democrat that wants to run for something in the next 3 years. As we predicted months ago, Tim Walz has announced that he is running for a third term as governor of Minnesota. Can he really win? He is wildly unpopular in outstate Minnesota. National trends are toward the Republicans as we watch the unraveling of our society. The streets are less safe. There are billions of dollars of fraud being uncovered under the watch of the Walz administration. We went from a huge surplus to a huge deficit. As predicted, Ranked Choice Voting is ruining our electoral system. The Democratic Socialist candidate in Minneapolis is running a mayoral slate to take second and third votes away from the current mayor. We've got a government shutdown, but for how long. The Dems refuse to negotiate unless health insurance for illegals is included. The Republicans are winning the PR battle for now... but we'll see what happens. Things are looking good for the Republicans in the midterms. We'll see if that makes any difference. Lastly, we're in a war over speech. Even some "conservatives" have begun to talk about hate speech. We can never go down that road. Speech has to remain free... likewise, if you're Jimmy Kimmel, you're not being censored. You're just being fake news.
Gov. Tim Walz pushed back on the Trump administration's tariffs and the economic setbacks they're causing for Minnesota farmers Tuesday. On a call with other Democratic leaders, Walz said China -- a top trade partner with Minnesota -- is not buying soybeans from the state. The Crosby Fire in Northeast Minnesota is now 85 percent contained.This is an MPR News Evening update, hosted by Emily Reese. Theme music is by Gary Meister.

In this episode, Jeff points out the ridiculousness of the belief that President Trump has brought peace to the Middle East with the ceasefire agreement he got Israel and Hamas to sign. There is a mountain of evidence which makes clear that this ceasefire is simply a lull until the next war. In the meantime, the leftists/terrorists are making massive inroads into America and our failure to cut off the head of the terror snake will be our country's greatest failure in the not so distant future.In other news, Bruce Cutler has passed, at one point the most famous lawyer in the world. Bruce also was the lawyer who had a large part in getting Jeff to drop Pre-med in college and go to law school. In this podcast, Jeff recounts some very funny Bruce stories from years past. RIP Bruce.

Former state Sen. Scott Jensen maneuvered his way through a crowded governor's race field to gain the Republican Party's backing in 2022. Now, he's hoping to do it again.
