Summary
In this hour, Sean speaks with investigative reporter John Solomon about Minnesota welfare fraud allegations, whistleblower claims, and congressional plans to subpoena Somali cash couriers moving hundreds of millions through Minneapolis and Columbus as federal probes intensify. They also cover proposed legislation on immigrant benefits and the prospect that similar schemes reach other states. The conversation shifts to Greenland, where European concerns over Russian and Chinese influence collide with U.S. security debates. Sean then addresses the latest confrontation involving ICE, rising assaults on agents, and reports that the FBI is examining organizers behind anti-ICE protests, while noting the presidents signal that the Insurrection Act could be considered if state leaders impede federal enforcement.
