On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, U.S. Attorney’s office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state’s Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn’t there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan’s. Later, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting. Afterward, sources are saying the Brown University murder, and the MIT nuclear expert murder are linked. As of now, police have found the suspect’s abandoned car, issued an arrest warrant with probable cause, and expanded the multi-state investigation to New Hampshire, canceling a press conference amid active operations. Finally, Josh Hammer calls in to explain the attacks from Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and other podcasters, which are signs that he’s speaking uncomfortable truths while others prioritize clicks and attention over substance.

Segment 1
President wants to change the name of the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center. The board voted to do that. I object to this. I think it should be called the Trump Reagan Center. Don’t you, Mr. Producer? No offense. No offense. And hence this thing with the Somali community. In Minnesota is beyond belief. Now U.S. attorney has announced new indictments. Half of more of the $18 billion paid out by Medicaid in Minnesota may be fraudulent, says the U.S. attorney. You know how hard it must be to steal over $9 billion. I mean, this is sick. About half or more of the roughly 18 billion in claims paid out by Medicaid to Minnesota run programs may have been fraudulent. And at least 14 programs were likely exploited, a federal prosecutor said today. In October, state officials announced that a third party will audit 14 Medicaid services deemed to be high risk for fraud in the state. According to Thompson. And that is the U.S. attorney. I’d take it. Yeah. First assistant U.S. attorney. Those 14 programs have cost the state $18 billion since 2018. $18 billion. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel Thompson said it’s unclear just how much their money is fraudulent, but said so far too much on the order of half or more. But we’ll see half or more of the 18 billion. Hmm. Hmm hmm Hmm hmm. Thompson said the scale of fraud in Minnesota outpaces that of other states and puts services at risk for people who really need them. I’m not seeing a lot of outrage by the Democrats. All this money is stolen. And that means not only are taxpayers ripped off. But people for whom the money was intended don’t see it. Like autistic kids. Like people who are hungry. While prosecutors typically see fraud manifest as providers over billing, Thompson said during a news conference in Minneapolis that companies have been created to provide zero services while pocketing federal funds for international travel, luxury vehicles and lavish lifestyles. The magnitude cannot be overstated, said the first assistant U.S. attorney. What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s staggering industrial scale fraud. Don’t you dare criticize the Somali community. Don’t you dare. The investigators. New findings may bolster President Trump and his claims that Minnesota’s a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity under Governor Tim Walz, the Democrats vice presidential nominee last year. Trump has capitalized on the fraud. This is them writing CBS. To target Somali diaspora. In Minnesota, calling them garbage and saying he doesn’t want immigrants from the East African country in the U.S.. Folks, the president puts it that way. But the truth is that used to be our policy. That is the vetting of people who want to come into the country. They have to be from communities. From provinces. From countries where the people are susceptible to assimilation. The people are self-sufficient. The people won’t go on welfare and on and on and on. There used to be a long list of requirements, but of course those have been, for the most part, prior to Trump eliminated. More than 90% of the people charged in the major fraud cases announced before today were of Somali descent, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Minnesota. Yeah, I’d say there’s a problem in that community. Five new defendants have been charged in connection with a minnesota housing services fraud. Thompson said two of them pocketed three quarters of $1,000,000 instead of helping Medicaid recipients find stable housing. Prosecutors allege they used the proceeds to travel to international destinations, including London, Istanbul and Dubai. Dubai. I wonder if they bought homes near Qatar Olsen. One defendant submitted 1.4 million in fraudulent claims using some of the funds to purchase cryptocurrency. Federal officials say he fled the country after receiving a subpoena. I’m sure he’s innocent. Hmm. The five charged include two Philadelphia resident figures who’ve been accused of fraud tourism as they registered as Minnesota providers, Thompson said, adding that for them the scheme was easy. Money for everybody was easy money. You can’t just spend over $9 billion. He said. Minnesota has become a magnet for fraud, so much so that we have developed a fraud tourism industry, people coming to our state purely to exploit and to fraud its programs. It’s deeply unsettling reality that all Minnesotans should understand. Now what we should understand is you have a governor. Who is a disgusting nobody, a loser of all of the highest magnitude. You have a community there of 80,000 illegal aliens and some legal Somalians who are robbing the nation blind. And for reasons we’ve explained in the past, not my experience, but others. That’s the nature apparently, of the culture. And that’s why Somalia. Does not have a functioning society, a functioning government. The two men, Anthony Waddell, Jefferson and Lester Brown, accused of siphoning millions from federally funded programs administered by Minnesota officials that were meant to help the disabled and those suffering from addiction. All these people should go to prison for life. For life. They allegedly fleeced the housing program in Minnesota, despite living on the other side of the country and having no networking or connections to Minnesota or its communities. So you have travel fraud. You have fraud taking place in Minnesota from people living in other states who don’t even set foot in Minnesota. And of course, you have fraud in Minnesota. Now the eight others charged in September for their alleged roles in the scheme to defraud Minnesota Housing Stability Services program. Prosecutors also named a new defendant. As to who’s to blame. The prosecutor said the state has not done a good job of mining these programs. Oh, you think? Now, they haven’t done a good job at all. I’m still waiting to hear from the Democrats. Still waiting to hear from Ilhan Omar. Still waiting to hear. But we won’t. No, no, no. These are constituents. These are voters, Mr. Producer. Why would we hear from them? I think that’s a fair question. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
And now there’s a lot of talk. And how the Republicans are going to be blown out in the midterms. And they might be. It’s kind of early to know one way or the other. It’s possible. We’ve talked about that. We’ve talked about a number of reasons. I think this economy is going to take off next year. First or second quarter the way it did under Reagan. But we’ll see. Trump has done many things. He’s put them in place and it takes time for them to take place. Like the tax cuts really haven’t kicked in until, you know, next year. But the Democrats have their own problem. Why? Because they’re nuts, that’s why. Absolutely. Totally screwed up. Harry Enten on CNN today. He’s their data expert analyst on Democrats polling in the minds of the American people. Cut one, Mr. Producer, go. Yeah, I mean, Democrats and the minds of the American public are lower than the Dead Sea. What are we talking about here? Well, let’s take a look. The net approval rating for Democrats in Congress, you said of Kate Baldwin, the lowest ever. Look at this. Overall, they are 55 points underwater. Their approval rating is south of 20%. It’s even worse when you look at independents. Look at this -61 points. That means that their approval rating is 61 points lower than their disapproval rating. Quinnipiac has been polling this question for the better part of the 21st century. They have never found Democrats, at least those in Congress, in worse shape than they are right now. That’s independents in overall. But what about Democrats on Democrats? Yeah, what about Democrats on Democrats? So part of the reason overall is so low is independents are driving it low. But that’s not the only reason it’s so low. What about Democrats on Democrats, Democrats and that approval rating of congressional Democrats? I want you to keep in mind they had never rated Democrats negatively until this year. And right now, what are we talking about? We’re talking about a net approval rating from Democrats. This is Democrats and Democrats. Their approval rating is actually lower, lower than the disapproval rating. And that is quite the drop from October. I think during the shutdown, there was a bit of a boost for Democrats. Right. There was a rallying around the flag effect going on, but Democrats did not like how that shutdown turned out. They have returned against Democrats in Congress. And you mentioned Dan Goldman in that intro. One of the reasons that Dan Goldman is in trouble right now in a potential primary against Brad Ladner is because at this point, the Democratic base is so upset with Democrats. So even if Democrats take back Congress, don’t be surprised if Dan Goldman aren’t there because of numbers like this. Hmm. Now, Goldman’s a lunatic, of course, but the A’s running against a lunatic times ten. So they’re going to become even more extremist. Even more radical. Meanwhile, what’s going on with inflation? What’s going on with inflation? Harvard professor Ken Rogoff on the Constipated News Network today. Cut, go. I mean, I was surprised there was a better number than anyone was expecting. Look, inflation’s been very high. It’s stayed high. It it’s not been coming down. But, you know, people were expecting it to be above 3%. It was well below 3%. I mean, I think the president will take this as good news. The investors will think that interest rates will get cut more. So, you know, it was it was a positive news. There’s no other way to spin it. Now, Thank you, Professor. So inflation is down even more and there’s no other way to spin it, America. The economy is going to get there. You’ll see. And then you know what else you’re going to see? You’re going to see these gutless quisling members of Congress, some of whom are obviously Republicans, all of a sudden be cheerleading Trump again. You’ll see the neo fascists. They’re not sure what to do. Maybe they’ll start cheering Trump again. Marjorie Taylor. GREENE She will be a footnote to a footnote in a footnote. Not the history, but in some comic book. This economy is going to pick up. It may go a little bit south, a little bit more south, but then it’s going to come north. That’s what economic growth does in. Trump has put in place so many measures to promote economic growth in so many parts of the economy, whether it’s natural resources like oil and gas and lumber and mining and so forth. Food where he’s put in place. Again, so many growth policies, even fisheries, commercial fisheries. He’s done the same thing. He’s pulled the Biden regulations off that that business, that industry. He’s trying to force other countries that are purposely blockading economically our farmers through tariffs to accept goods from our farmers, products from our farmers. And he’s doing everything a president can possibly do to turn on the economic spigot. And all of this kicks in next year in a more significant way. You’re seeing little dribs and drabs, but actually more than that. I mean, gasoline prices are down. That’s a big deal. It takes time for these things to resonate through a massive economy. And that’s what we have, a massive, diverse economy. I’ve seen this throughout my life. But again, he’s gone with the the the Reagan tax cuts. His regulatory cuts are more massive than any president than I can remember. He’s he’s ditched this whole climate change B.S. and he’s done a lot of things that are all pro-growth oriented. And so he’s going to get pro growth. He’s going to get it. Let’s hope it’s in time for the midterms for sure. Time will tell. Anyway, John Berman. To Representative Gregory Meeks on CNN today. For the economy so bad for Trump, why don’t voters trust you more? Cat five go. 46% say Republicans are better at handling the economy than Democrats. So if the policies are as bad as you say they are, why is it that voters still say before Republicans on this? Well, I think that if you look at those same numbers, you see that Donald Trump is an all time low in regards to the the economy. I think that the last poll that I saw, they go I see down to 36% or it’s bad economy, which if that’s true, why don’t they trust you? If it’s so bad for him, why don’t they trust you more for the economy, you being Democrats? Well, I think that they see who’s fighting for health care to try to make sure. All right, slow down. Notice he can’t answer it because he’s. For him to answer, he would have to condemn their policies. They’re not fighting for health care. They’re fighting for Obamacare, which is a financial disaster, which is a medical disaster which is unsustainable. Now, imagine this. You have a. Government run health care program that’s unsustainable and provides poor service. Massive subsidies, and yet your premiums are still going through the roof. Every Democrat in Congress then voted for every Republican in Congress, then voted against it. And the Democrat answer is, don’t reform it, don’t change it, subsidize it, and then subsidize it. Some more subsidized a failing government run. This is why you have what’s going on in Minnesota, massive fraud with the Somalis. And you got massive fraud with the Democrats, period. This is why you have these horrendous, you know, mismanagement of funds and loss of funds.
Segment 3
The multicultural terrorist threat inside Europe. They exported war nobody wants to name but Pierre. Gates Stone Institute International Policy Council is one of the best of all the institutes. It just is. It’s fantastic. Really, really good work. Investigative and researchers, investigative and research writing. It’s just just terrific. And so let’s go through some of this. It’s important. And by the way, Brown University, if they have a press event, we will go there live. They’re looking at a possible link between Brown University and the murder of the MIT nuclear expert. And they are 50 miles apart. So something’s going on here that’s bigger than what was once assumed. I have my own. Thoughts, but I’m not going to voice them because they’re not based on facts. So we’ll see. Anyway, back to this. Peaceful protesters certainly exist, he writes. But in many instances, the same marchers who cry from the river to the sea also provide cover logistics and recruitment spaces for operatives who work closely with Hamas or other terrorist organizations. This is a big deal. You know why, America? Because it’s happening here in our country. A report from the University of Indiana shows how a transnational network of NGOs, non-governmental organizations and campus groups spread anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas narratives coordinated across borders and amplified by social media. I want you to remember that 911 was a direct attack on the heart of the United States. On the biggest buildings in our biggest city on the Pentagon. And that other plane was headed for Congress. They think. So this is a big deal. Let’s see. Let’s go on. The message is simple. Israel’s colonial Jews are settlers, and violence against them is resistance. And of course, that means we, the people in the United States. Europe rallies have repeatedly featured Hamas flags, praise for the October seven attackers and calls to repeat the massacre all under the label of human rights. Law enforcement sees the problems more clearly than politicians. The same European Union reports that speak delicately of violent extremism in public also describe behind closed doors how online propaganda, diaspora networks and Middle Eastern conflicts interact to create hybrid terrorist ecosystems in Europe. Even so, the at the political level, Europe still refuses to name the ideology that is the ideological enemy. An Islamist project that openly seeks the eradication of Israel spills over to advocate eliminating the United States and the West. Quote The one Jewish state is the first to suffer, notes Jerusalem Post reportedly Art Collins. But the nearly 50 million Muslim majority countries and the nominally Christian world are all in the line of fire. European governments rushed to recognize a Palestinian state, even as Hamas thanks them for rewarding its resistance, quote unquote. This same cognitive dissonance runs through the European Union institutions that condemn terrorism in the abstract, while lavishly funding non-governmental organizations that glorify its perpetrators. Europe’s retreat into dying intangible threats. Staring them in the face, unfortunately, has extremely tangible results. Studies have Hamas funding stressed that social and religious front organisations are integral to the movements terrorist attacks. They launder money, recruit sympathizers and create safe spaces where support for terrorism can flourish under humanitarian cover. This is all Qatar. Not by itself, but this is all Qatar does. And so when you have sink ofit’s like Qatar sending and people like him and he’s not alone. You got Wall Street guys, other businesses. You have athletes and sporting events. You’ve got entertainers from Hollywood. You have CNN. You’ve got others, the media. When Germany bans some a dozen or a small local front group. Non-governmental organizations and academics denounced the act as repression of civil society. And here we hear people denounce it as attacking free speech, you know. When Belgium moves against a man praising the October seven massacre, activists networks cry that solidarity has been criminalized. In this narrative, it’s always the state, never the terrorist infrastructure that is on trial. The war has been exported from Gaza to Europe has three pillars money, indoctrination and operational cells. All three are embedded in structures that call themselves Palestinian Solidarity are human rights organizations. As long as European governments accept this masquerade, the continent will remain both a financial base and potential battlefield for Hamas and its Qatari, Turkish and Iranian sponsors. What would a serious policy look like? No more American or European funding period for organization said Celebrate terrorist martyrs and teach children to hate Jews, hate Christians or any other racial or religious group. When demonstrators chant globalize the intifada, they’re not calling for a peace. They’re calling for the expansion of a global jihadist war, terrorism. Finally. Europeans must abandon the illusion that the Palestinian cause, quote unquote, is a harmless protest disconnected from terrorism. Hamas itself, backed by Qatar, Turkey and Iran, has explained over and over that Europe is part of their battlefield. The only question is whether European leaders will listen to their own police and intelligence services as Israel’s Mossad, or whether they will continue pretending that a war raging against them has no name and does not exist. When Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency publicly revealed in November 2025 that it had helped European countries expose a Hamas terrorist infrastructure, quote in the heart of Europe, unquote, including weapons caches and plans to hit Jewish and Israeli targets. It simply confirmed that intelligence professionals have warned since October seven, 2023, the war in the Gaza Strip is not local. It has been exported operationally to European soil and I would add to American soil. As early as December 2023. German, Dutch and Danish authorities had already arrested Hamas operatives accused of preparing attacks on Jewish institutions in several European countries. Prosecutors described long standing members of Hamas directed to stockpile weapons in Berlin. Since then, intel and security reports have spoken of a, quote, realistic possibility, unquote, that the Hamas Israel war will embolden networks across Western Europe to move from propaganda to mass casualty attacks. Folks, this is going to happen. It’s going to happen here. It’s going to happen in the United States. We had laxed immigration for way too long with the Democrat Party. That gives cover to these operations. We have this Marxist Islamist alliance that really is at the heart now, the Democrat Party. And we also have our outliers, podcasters, influencers who are in the back pocket of Qatar, if not financially, otherwise trashing our own history, trashing the West, trashing the good guys in World War Two, that that would be us attacking Christians, attacking Jews in this country. They could. Carlson and his ilk. Europol’s 2025 terrorism situation and Trend report openly acknowledged the Gaza conflict has reshaped the threat picture in the European Union. The forward warns that wars beyond Europe’s borders explicitly including Gaza, fuel radicalization, propaganda and operational planning within European states. In parallel, news outlets report that since 2023, European authorities have quietly disrupted several plots linked to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Behind these plots lies an entrenched Hamas infrastructure in Europe that long predates 2023. A detailed study from George Washington University describes how Hamas built extensive fundraising and logistical networks in Western countries using charities, NGOs, often European funded and business fronts, whose names and legal entities are constantly changed to stay ahead of authorities in these same countries, the study’s authors warned, are the natural incubator for future terrorist operations in the West. In 2024, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy summarized new research by Al Net that identified 30 Hamas linked groups and figures active in the UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Netherlands. These groups include, quote, civil society unquote, associations, aid organizations and lobbying platforms that propagate Hamas narratives while maintaining close personal. Ties with known extremists. They operate with relative freedom. Despite Hamas being officially designated as a terrorist organization by both the EU and individual European countries. You know, ladies and gentlemen. One thing I’m proud of. What we do here is we are focused like a laser. World War Three is already underway. You know, it’s not because of Israel. It’s not because of Ukraine. It’s not because of Trump. With Venezuela. World War three. The Islamist war against the West. First battle with Israel. Battles breaking open in your battles will break open in the United States. I’m mark my words. I know what I’m talking about. They are here. They are plotting. You’re in the right place at the right time in American history. And you have been. Germany, to its credit, has gone further to confront this problem than most. Berlin has not only and Hamas and the international network summit on, but has also started outlawing local solidarity groups whose activities glorify terrorism, promote anti-Semitic agitation. You know, I say over and over again, if you hate Israel, you hate America. If you hate America, hate us, it’s for one basic reason shared values and belief systems. Israel’s a Jewish state. America is essentially a Christian country. Judeo-Christian belief systems. Even in Germany, however, every ban on one structure appears followed by the birth of another. So this is highly organized and sophisticated. Hamas also invest heavily in indoctrination, particularly among students. A report from the University in Havana shows how transnational network of NGOs and campus groups spread anti-Semitic pro-Hamas narratives coordinated across borders, amplified by social media. Excuse me. The message is simple Israel’s colonial Jews are settlers, and violence against them is resistance. They say the same thing about the United States. Same thing. And you can see it on college campuses in Europe. You see it on college campuses in the United States of America. You see Qatar. Why would Qatar be pouring tens of billions of dollars into our educational system for this reason? That’s why. And I’m waiting for Congress, the Republican Congress, to cut off all foreign money coming into our colleges and universities. But we can’t even get a committee of Republicans. The vote that the Muslim Brotherhood, the mother, the mother ship of the terrorists. Should be designated as a terrorist organization for all purposes and in every part of the planet. Ted Cruz and Republicans in the Senate now are trying to fix that and lead the charge. But we’ll see how far that goes with their colleagues. Meanwhile, Europe’s Jewish communities live under siege. Synagogues require fortress style protection. Jewish schools resemble military bases. Israeli tourists are warned by their own government to avoid displaying any visible sign of Jewish or Israeli identity. The dramatic rise in antisemitic incidents across Europe and America since October seven can be directly linked to pro-Hamas agitation, even when officials pretend the hatred has nothing to do with imported Middle Eastern conflicts. The war that has been exported from Gaza to Europe as three pillars money, indoctrination and operational cells. All three are embedded in structures that call themselves Palestinian solidarity. And that’s where we are. Pro law degree from Paris, French reporter, documentary filmmaker, author of six novels. He has produced and directed 17 documentaries, many photographed at high risk in Middle Eastern war zones, focusing on terrorism, media bias and the persecution of Christians. His latest documentary programs highlights the context of Asian Jew hatred within Muslim civilization is the main force behind the October seven massacre. I hope the world is listening. I hope people are listening. You, Mr. and Mrs. America. I know what I’m doing. I know I am using these sources and conveying this information to you. It is here. It is a threat. It’s going to hit us. And it’s going to be horrific. We’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Here’s the update. From ABC News. Law enforcement officials have identified a possible suspect in connection with the mass shooting at Brown University. Navy issued a warrant for the individual’s arrest. Now, that is not a search warrant. That’s a warrant for their arrest. And he got it from a judge. So they’re pretty sure. This comes after multiple sources briefed on the investigation told ABC News that the Brown shooting and the murder of an MIT professor in Brookline, Massachusetts, may be linked. Now, look, I don’t know how they’re linked. I don’t know how they may be linked. But the MIT professor who was murdered. Was Jewish in one of the top nuclear experts, not just in the country, but the world. The room at Brown. In which this suspect murdered those two wonderful students and shoot and shot nine others. First of all, one of those students, a young lady, was the vice president of the College Republicans. But the professor on campus is not well-known. She’s Jewish and she’s taught a class in Israel as well. And she teaches Middle Eastern. Policy. Now, I don’t know if that’s how they’re linked or not. I don’t know if they’re linked or not. But this is the information that ABC News and virtually every other news organization is putting out now that they think they’re leak linked. They were 50 miles apart. We shall see. It’s just a matter of time. They’re going to get they’re going to get their man.
