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 79 - Minnesota Rep Identifies as ILLEGAL
In the latest episode of the American Experiment Podcast, Grace, Kathryn, and Bill sit down to STOP THE TAPE on the special session at the Minnesota Capitol!
As Democrats wept over not being able to give illegal immigrants free, unlimited healthcare on the taxpayers’ tab, one DFL Rep went so far as to claim SHE was “in this country illegally.” Spoiler alert: that wasn’t even true.
Later, Senator Erin Maye Quade compares her fight with the GOP to her grandfather’s service in World War II—saying her voting record is her “Purple Heart.”
Then, education policy fellow Catrin Wigfall sits down with Mark Kolbinger, mayor of Becker, MN, to talk about the teachers’ union’s death grip on education in Minnesota.
