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.

Many still lend credence to unfounded conspiracy theories about the death of Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband.

These theories make loose sense when you don't know the full context. But collapse under scrutiny.

Here, Minnesota state representative Walter Hudson corrects the record speaking to '2 Guys 1 Coup,' offering a detailed account of everything that was happening politically surrounding the tragedy.

Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis has ended — and both sides are claiming victory.

Federal officials point to deportation targets removed and new cooperation from local authorities.

Minnesota Democrats say public resistance forced ICE to retreat.

So who’s right?

And more importantly: what lesson does this outcome teach activists, law enforcement, and elected officials across the country?

In this analysis, Minnesota State Representative Walter Hudson examines what really happened during the ICE surge operation, the claims from Tom Homan and the Trump administration, and the response from Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Secretary of State Steve Simon.

If coordinated obstruction of federal law enforcement leads to withdrawal without visible consequences, what precedent does that set?

Because authority ultimately rests not in statements — but in consequences.

And the end of Operation Metro Surge may carry implications far beyond Minnesota.

Racism doesn’t bother me.

That might sound shocking — especially coming from the son of a Black father and a white mother.

But hear me out.

In this episode, I break down the difference between racism as a belief and racism as institutional power — and why I believe we’re actually keeping racism alive by constantly amplifying it.

Why do fringe ideas stay culturally relevant?

Why does outrage often strengthen the very thing it claims to fight?

And what did Morgan Freeman mean when he said the way to stop racism is to stop talking about it?

This isn’t about denying discrimination exists.

It’s about reclaiming control over your identity and refusing to hand emotional power to people who don’t deserve it.

If you disagree — I want to hear why.

The left often labels "great replacement theory" as a racist conspiracy theory, discrediting anyone who raises the possibility.

But Democrat state representative Gene Wu just proved it, confessing that his goal is for non-whites to "take over" the country.

How did we get here? How can an elected official say something so objectively racist with no fear of repercussion?

The answer is telling.

Let's break it down.

What happens when the media treats defying federal law as a moral virtue?

In this video, I break down a shocking CNN panel exchange in which interfering with federal law enforcement is not only defended — but normalized — under the banner of “peaceful protest.”

This isn’t about tone.
It isn’t about optics.
And it isn’t about whether you personally agree with immigration law.

It’s about authority.

Every society operates under authority. The only real question is whether that authority is lawful or illegitimate. When elected officials, media figures, and even attorneys argue that citizens should physically interfere with federal law enforcement if they “see something wrong,” they are not engaging in protest — they are endorsing rebellion against the authority of the United States.

That has a name.

And it’s dangerous.

We’re now seeing mobs of vigilantes erect illegal blockades in Minneapolis, detaining residents, demanding identification, and attempting to impede federal law enforcement — all while facing zero accountability from local authorities and active cover from national media.

In this episode, I explain:
• Why authority is unavoidable in any society
• Why “peaceful protest” does not include interference with law enforcement
• How media rhetoric is actively undermining the rule of law
• Why rejecting lawful authority inevitably leads to mob rule

When the law stops mattering, force takes its place.

And that is exactly where this leads.
