I spent a day in Minneapolis to see what life is like under Tim Walz.
What I found was a city in decline. 🧵🧵🧵
This is the spot where George Floyd died. 4 years later, it’s been turned into a shrine.
Across the street lies the shell of a gas station burned down by rioters. Buildings on every corner of the block now sit vacant.
A few blocks away sits the burned out shell of what was once the Minneapolis PD’s Third Precinct headquarters.
Bullet holes are still visible in the exterior.
Next, I visit a homeless encampment that’s taken over a quiet neighborhood in town. The night before, a man in the camp overdosed — five nights later, another was shot to death.
I talk with Arne, who’s been trying unsuccessfully to remove them from his property.
As we speak, a car pulls up and a half dozen masked people walk directly towards us, setting inches away in an attempt to block our camera crew.
My next stop is ‘Little Mogadishu,’ a part of Minneapolis home to 50,000 Somalis — one of the largest concentrations of Somalis anywhere in the world.
It's long been plagued with elevated crime rates, but in recent years, has been home to one of the largest fraud operations in American history.
During COVID, dozens Somalis operated a fake non-profit that took in more than $250 million in taxpayer money.
According to David Gaither, a longtime Minnesota businessman and legislator, that money was used to fund lavish lifestyles and terror groups in Somalia.
I head downtown and find a surprisingly empty city with vacant storefronts and open drug use on the sidewalks.
One of those vacant storefronts used to be Greg’s Saloon. I talk to Greg, who closed his business due to rising crime and oppressive COVID policies enacted by Walz.
For a more detailed look at Walz's tenure, I talked with veteran Minnesota reporter @lizcollin.
“He’s being sold as this moderate ‘aw-shucks’ guy who will give us some dad jokes. But there’s never been a more radical governor — ever — in Minnesota history,” Collin said.

Democrats just gave $80 billion to the IRS to expand auditing, and then killed a Republican amendment that would've made sure none of that money goes towards auditing people making under 400k a year.
And then championed their bill as a victory for the middle class...
Low-income households are FOUR TIMES more likely than every other income bracket to be audited by the IRS.
And every single Democrat just voted to keep it that way.
The IRS is now larger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI and Border Patrol COMBINED.
If there's one thing the Democrats do with incredible efficiency and dedication, it's taking your money.
Shout out to The Washington Post for giving us one of the greatest Shot ---> Chaser moments in recent history
Germany -- which gets 66% of their gas from Russia -- is now so desperate for energy that they're dimming street lights at night, restricting hot water use, and shutting down swimming pools.
I wonder if they're still smirking?
European countries, which outlawed non-green energy over the last three decades, are now resurrecting COAL PLANTS just to survive.
Bill Gates has quietly become the largest farmland owner in America. At the same time, he’s become a leading voice in the push for “synthetic meat.”
Here’s the story of how Bill Gates is waging a war on meat to make millions - and hiding behind “climate change” to do it.
Gates now owns over a quarter million acres of U.S. farmland across 19 states. One of his potato farms is so large it can be seen from space.
He’s purchased much of the land through a variety of shell companies to hide that he was the buyer…
For example, in 2018 a company called Angelina Agriculture purchased $171 million worth of farmland in Washington.
Angelina was based in a Louisiana town with 462 people. It had 2 employees and was under the umbrella of Cascade Investments, which is controlled by... Bill Gates.
