Summary

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.

    Is Minnesota approaching doomsday like the DFL claims?!

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast

    Amy Klobuchar announced her anti-fraud plan, DFL senators are predicting doomsday scenarios if we end the “temporary” COVID rules expanding taxpayer-funded healthcare, and Keith Ellison is getting sued by the Department of Justice for trying to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. On the back half, we talk with retired judge Eric Lipman about his fight to reform Minnesota’s utility system (and get us ratepayers a better deal).

    Is Walz more focused on Minnesota or his national brand?

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast

    Fresh off a book deal and PAC launch, Governor Walz joined Jimmy Kimmel to downplay the fraud scandal and rip President Trump (what else is new?), which warrants an edition of STOP THE TAPE. The Minneapolis Public School district is facing a self-inflicted $75 million budget deficit and somehow, the story keeps getting more absurd. Finally, House DFLers are trying to stop cities from flying the old Minnesota flag. Will they succeed? On the back half, Matt Dean breaks down the Hennepin County Medical Center’s budget crisis and what should be done.
    QOTD: What should the state flag be? Old, new, or something else?

    Is Walz trying to be Bernie 2.0?!

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast

    Governor Walz flew to Spain to address an international conference of “progressives” (socialists). Is he trying to be the next Bernie Sanders? Good news back home, as U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber secures a major victory and brings Minnesota one step closer to critical mineral mining (which no, will not destroy — or even touch — the Boundary Waters). And lastly, Hennepin and Ramsey county officials are setting a dangerous precedent by breaking protocol and going after federal ICE agents in local courts for their roles in Operation Metro Surge. On the back half, Bill Walsh shares brand-new polling testing whether Minnesotans are proud to be American, 250 years on.
