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 110 - What ICE is Really Doing in Minnesota
Welcome Back to the American Experiment Podcast!
The year is already off to a fast and furious start, and today’s episode takes on one of the biggest misinformation campaigns hitting Minnesota right now: ICE.
Grace and Kathryn break down and debunk the fake news claims spreading through the media and activist circles, including the myths that ICE agents are “making Minnesota less safe,” that ICE “stormed a Minnesota school,” and that the recent anti-ICE protests are "organic and representative" of everyday Minnesotans.
Grace and Kathryn also give you some examples of the criminals (or neighbors as Walz and Co. like to say) ICE is scooping off the street, viewer discretion is advised.
Later in the show, Rep. Kristin Robbins joins the podcast to discuss her visit to the U.S. Capitol testifying before the US House Oversight Committee featuring some highlights you won't want to miss!
