In today’s episode of 10 Minute Drill, we break down a volatile mix of crime, corruption, and political spin—starting in Minneapolis, where new video of an ICE-related shooting raises serious questions about public safety, leadership, and why Minnesota Democrats appear more interested in chaos than accountability.

We dive into a House hearing on massive Minnesota fraud, where lawmakers warn that the scandal may only be “the tip of the iceberg.” Testimony reveals political incentives to ignore widespread abuse of taxpayer-funded programs, with state officials accusing the Walz administration and Democrats of blocking investigations and shutting down internal controls.

Attorney General Keith Ellison responds by dismissing the scandal as political and claiming ignorance of key investigations—while simultaneously boasting about fraud prosecutions. We examine whether Ellison was deliberately sidelined, willfully blind, or simply distracted by partisan pursuits.
