About this listen

A single camera caught what many claimed was a $10B fraud scheme in Minnesota’s childcare and autism services—and the fallout was immediate. 5-minute summary (original 2 hours). Host Chris Williamson talks with independent journalist Nick Shirley about his viral December exposé that prompted federal subpoenas, paused funding, and political recriminations for Gov. Tim Walz. Learn how licensed daycares, autism funding, and non-emergency transport payments allegedly diverged from on-the-ground reality, what evidence Shirley collected (licensing records, payment spreadsheets, field footage), and why oversight gaps matter for taxpayers and vulnerable families. Topics: Minnesota childcare fraud, federal investigation, autism funding, non-emergency transport, misinformation and media literacy. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
