Have no fear—the situation is being monitored!

Grace and Kathryn sit down to break down the latest news out of Minnesota, as Governor Walz joins the chorus of Democratic leaders across the country echoing the handed-down talking point about “monitoring” the Israel-Iran conflict.

Later, they discuss ICE arresting an Iranian national with ties to Hezbollah—right here in St. Paul—and the rollout of new speeding cameras in Minneapolis.

Finally, we bring in Center of the American Experiment President John Hinderaker to weigh in on the Israel-Iran situation. He shares his thoughts on Trump’s bold actions, the current Iranian regime, and where things might go from here.

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.

In this episode of the American Experiment Podcast, Grace and Bill STOP THE TAPE on Governor Walz’s bleep show. Walz hits the road, traveling to South Carolina and California for Democratic Party conventions—and he brings his new habit of swearing during speeches along for the ride. (We think he’s trying to “code talk” again...) Grace and Bill break down some of the most outrageous moments.

Later, we reveal brand new, exclusive poll results from American Experiment—including how Minnesotans really feel about giving illegal immigrants free, unlimited healthcare, and which solutions to Minnesota’s fraud problem are most popular with voters.

And finally, Events Coordinator Jill Sandager joins the show for an exciting announcement you WON’T want to miss!

In the latest episode of the American Experiment Podcast, we are joined by Minnesota Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson. Senator Johnson pulls back the curtain on behind-the-scenes budget negotiations between the House, Senate, and Governor—including some surprising details on how it's all going down.

Before that, Grace and Producer Isaac sat down to break down the news of the day.

They kick things off by looking at George Floyd Square—how little has changed, even five years after the riots. Then, they turn their attention to yet ANOTHER FBI raid on a Minnesota nonprofit—one that feels all too familiar for anyone who remembers the Feeding Our Future scandal.

Next up: public school spending. They dig into recent polling showing Minnesotans are shocked to learn just how much the state spends per student. And finally, some good news: Minnesotans may be escaping California-style EV mandates, thanks to action from the U.S. Senate.

In the latest episode of the American Experiment Podcast, we kick things off in the studio, where Grace, Kathryn, and Bill react to Tim Walz’s VIRAL clip comparing ICE to the Gestapo during his U of M Law School commencement address.

Next, the U of M's Anti-Racism Center is shutting down—and the reason might surprise you.

Later, they call out House DFLers for claiming—with a straight face—that they’ve worked to prevent fraud in Minnesota for YEARS. Just hours later, those same lawmakers voted against a bill designed to help do exactly that.

Finally, Grace, Kathryn, and the team are live from Minneapolis at our Annual Dinner Gala, where Scott Jennings of CNN joins the podcast in person. He reacts to clips—including one of Walz claiming he was on the 2024 ticket because he can “code talk.” You won’t want to miss Scott’s take.

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".

In one of the most CRINGEWORTHY Stop the Tapes of all time, Grace, Kathryn, and Bill wince through Democratic MN House Representatives defend their radical ethnic studies agenda (Including Senator Erin Maye Quade saying it is only "controversial" if you are looking to make it "illegal to be black"). THEN the cringe keeps going with the Osseo school board gleefully giving away all their funds to the teachers union. 

Later, Kathryn and Grace are joined by Senator Kreun to discuss his start in politics and everything going on in the Minnesota Senate!

In the latest episode of the American Experiment Podcast, Grace, Kathryn, and Bill are back with another exciting edition of STOP THE TAPE! First, they dive into Governor Walz's State of the State address, where he recycles Democrat talking points while trying to paint a rosy picture of Minnesota—despite a looming $6 billion budget deficit.

Then, things get even more interesting as Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison testifies before the House Fraud Committee. But instead of providing clear answers, Ellison comes across as uninformed, gullible, and bewildered, particularly when questioned about his meeting with the masterminds behind a staggering $250 million fraud scheme.
