In this high-stakes Monday edition of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn peel back the layers of a rapidly evolving crisis in the Twin Cities. The episode centers on the intersection of massive taxpayer-funded fraud and the escalating tensions between federal ICE agents and professional agitators.
The program features an on-the-ground update from Alpha News' Liz Collin regarding over $700 million in cash detected leaving the Minneapolis airport and the state-funded networks allegedly backing anti-ICE protests. We also hear from Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner on the delicate "split-second" reality of law enforcement's use of force and Dr. Scott Jensen, who breaks exclusive news regarding his campaign for Governor of Minnesota and the systemic culture of unaccountability in the state. Finally, Mike Howell of the Oversight Project explains why the "Minnesota model" of fraud is actually a feature of a broader national governing strategy.
