Ken has highlighted a significant fraud case in Minnesota, allegedly involving 8 to 10 billion dollars. The fraud is said to be concentrated within the Somali community in the state. This has reportedly been an issue since around 2015. Ken suggests that the Somali community, which tends to vote Democrat, could be a factor in the nature or extent of the fraud, though this remains speculative.

Ken and Fisher discuss New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signing a bill requiring warning labels on addictive social media features. They compare it to Australia’s ban on social media for kids under 16 and question whether that could happen in the U.S. While concern over teen mental health is growing, strong free-speech protections and legal hurdles make a nationwide U.S. ban unlikely, with warnings and regulations seen as the more realistic path.
