The episode discusses Minnesota fraud cases, focusing on Nick Shirley's congressional testimony and debunking claims against Gov. Walz and AG Ellison.

It's part 2 of the Minnesota fraud stuff. We get a little more Nick Shirley, dumbest person ever to testify in congress. And then I debunk the main claims against Gov. Walz and AG Ellison. Did Walz un-stop the payments to Feed Our Future? Did Ellison meet with, and then get campaign donations from the fraudsters?
