American Experiment Podcast
Why are so many Minnesota high school graduates unable to read or do math at grade level? Does Tim Walz actually think he's going to be the next president of the United States? And why does he keep swearing so much?
These are the kinds of hard-hitting questions we get into every week on the American Experiment Podcast, where we unpack the week's biggest stories, interview Minnesota's movers and shakers, and "stop the tape" on clips of our state's most ridiculous elected officials.
New episodes drop every Tuesday afternoon and are available on every major podcasting platform.

Episode 75 - Governor Walz's PARTICIPATION DIPLOMA DELUSION
In the seventy-fifth episode of the American Experiment Podcast, Grace, Kathryn, and Bill dive into Governor Walz’s latest round of self-congratulations—this time for handing out what they’re calling “participation diplomas.” He’s bragging about graduation rates and free meals, while ignoring the fact that half of Minnesota students can’t read or do math.
Next, an illegal immigrant arrested and held in Hennepin County is drawing national attention, including from the White House. Then, the Senate is at it again—this time pushing to raise taxes on Minnesotans to fund health care for illegal immigrants. You read that right. And finally, Minneapolis wants to hike tourism taxes… to boost tourism. Make it make sense.
We finish with David Zimmer, public safety policy fellow, interviewing Sheriff Scott Rose of Dodge County in honor of National Police Week to talk about his podcast, "The Officer Down Memorial Podcast".
