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 94 - MN's Turning Point?! Patriots Outmatch Protesters at U of M
Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!
Grace and Kathryn kick things off with Turning Point’s first event since the assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, held right here at the U of M. They break down the crowd’s energy, and the disturbing protests outside.
Next, they react to alleged comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s return to air following ABC’s suspension debacle, plus a laughable clip of Senator Tina Smith at a press conference pretending to “defend” free speech.
Then, the two tackle what U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has dubbed Minnesota’s “culture of fraud.”
In the second half, American Experiment’s public safety policy fellow David Zimmer joins to discuss the fallout from Mary Moriarty’s reckless decision to stop prosecuting certain crimes and what that means for Minnesotans.
