Minnesota has become a national embarrassment because of massive government fraud — with federal investigators estimating up to $9 billion stolen across state programs.

But what most people don’t know is this:

A bipartisan anti-fraud bill already passed the Minnesota Senate in 2025 with overwhelming support.

It should have become law.

Instead, House Democrat leadership — working with Governor Tim Walz — blocked it, gutted it, and tried to replace it with a weaker version under political control.

In this video, State Representative Walter Hudson walks through the full timeline:

• the bipartisan origins of the Office of Inspector General bill
• how it advanced through both chambers
• the moment House leadership killed it
• and how Democrats are now trying to rewrite history

This is a behind-the-scenes look at how legislative manipulation actually works — and why Minnesota still hasn’t fixed its fraud crisis.

Politics as usual only survives in darkness.

During a Minnesota legislative hearing on age verification for adult websites, State Representative Leigh Finke argued that restricting minors’ access to pornography could harm “queer kids” because such sites function as sex education.

Yes — you heard that correctly.

As a father and a legislator, I find that claim deeply alarming.

Whatever your views on LGBTQ issues or sex education policy, one principle should unite every parent: pornography is not education, and children should not need access to it.

So why would a lawmaker oppose age verification for porn sites on the grounds that kids need them?

Let’s break down exactly what was said, what it means, and why this debate matters for families in Minnesota and beyond.

This week on the Minnesota House floor, Democrats accused federal law enforcement of “insurrection” — and then tried to stop me from speaking when I challenged them.

You’ll see the moment for yourself.

While Republicans moved urgency on bipartisan anti-fraud legislation to create an independent Office of Inspector General, Democrats voted it down and instead pushed a political messaging bill attacking federal immigration enforcement.

When I pointed out the consequences of that rhetoric, Democrats erupted — shouting, interrupting, and declaring I would not be “allowed” to speak.

That’s not how democratic institutions work.

In this episode of Closing Argument, I break down what happened, why it matters, and what it reveals about the growing radicalism inside Minnesota’s governing majority.

Watch the full floor confrontation and decide for yourself.
