Fox News Garrett Tenney and Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., join 'America's Newsroom' reacting to independent journalist Nick Shirley's viral video looking into empty daycare centers allegedly taking billions from state funding and more.

It's not just Minnesota. Or just daycares. The deepest government honeypot is blue-state Medicaid.

And nowhere does corruption run deeper than in New York State, where everyone wants a piece of a $120 billion honeypot.

You’ve seen the video.

Nick Shirley, a citizen journalist (aka a journalist), traveled around Minnesota looking for fraud at state-funded daycare centers largely run by Somali immigrants. He found obvious evidence of malfeasance — and attracted a worldwide audience on X.

Shirley’s 42-minute video has now been viewed more than 115 million times, even forcing a huffy response from Gov. Tim Walz (last seen exaggerating his military service).

Shirley deserves the attention. But when it comes to waste, fraud and abuse in government programs, nothing holds a candle to healthcare spending. Especially in blue states, and especially since the Affordable Care Act and then COVID-era federal subsidies allowed expanded Medicaid coverage with an endless federal backstop.

And nowhere is this more evident than in New York.

IT'S NOT JUST MINNESOTA. DEMOCRATS HAVE CREATED WELFARE........
