‘The Cost of Doing Nothing’ — Inside the Staggering Minnesota Fraud Scandal
About this episode
The episode discusses a report on Minnesota welfare fraud and the implications of food supply consolidation on ranchers.
A damning new report from the House Oversight Committee alleges Minnesota state officials turned a blind eye to massive welfare fraud. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) joins FOX News’ Bill Melugin to break down the committee's findings, which claim Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were warned about systemic fraud years before taking action.As U.S. consumer beef prices hit historic highs, concern is mounting over the rapid consolidation of the nation's food supply and its threat to independent producers. Texas Rancher Trent Simmons joins to discuss the ongoing federal antitrust investigation into the big four meatpackers, how a shrinking national cattle herd is stripping ranchers of their negotiating leverage, and how the sudden re-emergence of the destructive New World screwworm fly in Texas is forcing cattlemen to alter their breeding and management strategies to protect their livelihoods.
