Hour 3 dives into explosive revelations surrounding a massive fraud scandal in Minnesota, where billions in taxpayer dollars were allegedly siphoned through fake nonprofits and childcare centers. Guest host John Kobylt from KFI Radio leads the discussion, joined by Joe Khalil of NewsNation, who provides the latest updates on the viral investigation that has captured national attention. A 42-minute video by independent journalist Nick Shirley, now surpassing 116 million views, exposed empty daycare facilities that received millions in state and federal funds—raising serious questions about oversight under Governor Tim Walz. The conversation highlights ongoing probes by the Minnesota legislature, the House Oversight Committee, and even DHS, which has launched door-to-door searches at suspected fraud sites. Beyond Minnesota, John shifts focus to California’s deepening crises under Governor Gavin Newsom. He outlines shocking statistics: California leads the nation in inflation, unemployment, homelessness, and tax burdens, including the highest income, gas, and sales taxes. Despite record spending, the state suffers from crumbling infrastructure, underperforming schools, and depleted public safety resources—issues compounded by sanctuary policies and billions spent on healthcare for illegal immigrants. John warns these policies could become a national flashpoint as Newsom positions himself for higher office, contrasting them with President Trump’s decisive border actions. The hour closes with a fiery critique of California’s proposed wealth tax targeting billionaires, which John argues would accelerate the exodus of high earners and devastate state revenue. He challenges progressive narratives demonizing innovators like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, emphasizing the economic consequences of punitive taxation. Key Topics Covered in Hour 3: • Minnesota daycare fraud scandal and Somali nonprofit schemes • Viral Nick Shirley investigation and its political fallout • DHS enforcement actions and congressional oversight • California’s economic decline: taxes, homelessness, and infrastructure failures • Illegal immigration costs and sanctuary state policies • Gavin Newsom’s healthcare spending and budget deficit • Proposed wealth tax and its impact on California’s future • Broader implications for national politics under President Trump’s administration
