About this episode
šļø There is an absolute horror show going on in Holmes' home state of Minnesota. We looked into the explosive New York Times story revealing a $1 billion fraud scandal involving the state's social service system under Governor Tim Walz. This wasn't just typical government waste; we dissected how members of the Somali diaspora allegedly stole hundreds of millions of dollars meant to feed children during the pandemic. š„ These Mafia-style tactics used to perpetuate the fraud are a common tool of the left. The fellas discussed how the nonprofit group, Feeding Our Future, threatened state agencies with accusations of racism and negative press to force them into approving fraudulent applicants, proving that the left has weaponized these accusations as a shakedown racket. We explain how the Democrats have outsourced these tactics to NGOs to pressure and capture institutions like corporate America. š» In Variety, the fellas got into a hysterical segment about a viral video of a lineman saving a black bear from a power line and debated the merits of the new holiday gift, "Guido on a Ledge," a Staten Island-inspired Elf on the Shelf alternative. š Then, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson is running for Senate in Iowa. She discussed her experience as a "mama bear on a mission" and how her background is helping her relate to Iowans on kitchen-table issues like affordability and school curriculum problems 00:00 - Serious Democrat Corruption In Minnesota 03:38 - How State Leadership Failed MN 05:51 - The NYT Details Fraud and Tim Walz's Involvement 24:44 - How "Mafia-style" Tactics Perpetuated Fraud 37:43 - Could the Stolen Money Potentially Fund Terror 47:48 - Thanksgiving Comments 51:07 - Tennesseeās Special Election and Democrat Extremism 01:06:22 - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson on her Senate campaign, political issues, and musical talent Our Sponsors: ā¢Beverage America believes in the promise that makes this nation great.
