Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

This week, Grace and Kathryn kick things off with a chilling new update from the FBI on the protesters who stormed Cities Church in Minneapolis, and it’s even worse than what the videos showed.

Next, a shocking revelation: elected Democrat leaders here in Minnesota were actively involved in directing the anti-ICE chaos through group chats on the app Signal.

After that, stop us if you’ve heard this one before...the Minnesota Teachers’ Union is once again pushing radical political doctrine.

Finally, we welcome special guest, talk radio show host, and former congressman Jason Lewis to the show. He joins us to talk about how Minnesota can find its way back to the “good life."

Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

Grace and Kathryn break down the latest anti-ICE chaos from over the weekend, including protesters storming Cities Church in St. Paul in the middle of a service.

Next, they take on the left’s “young men are radically right-wing” narrative. Turns out men have largely stayed the same politically, while a new study shows young women moving sharply to the left.

Then, they turn to Minnesota’s education crisis. Test scores are at all-time lows, with nearly half of students unable to read or do math at grade level. How do we turn it around? Grace and Kathryn examine the future of educational freedom and school choice in Minnesota.

Finally, Bill Walsh joins the show to share never-before-seen Minnesota polling on affordability, taxes, and the financial outlook facing young Minnesotans.

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!

The Walz came tumbling down yesterday. Grace and Kathryn are joined by Bill to discuss Governor Walz’s decision not to run for reelection amid his $10 billion fraud mismanagement scandal.

Then, a brand-new opportunity for fraudsters to steal your tax dollars just dropped. That’s right, the new paid family leave program officially launched in Minnesota at the start of the new year.

After that, Grace and Kathryn break down the ballooning autism clinic scandal in Minnesota, which continues to get worse.

Finally, Martha Njolomole joins the show to explain why Minnesota’s new law limiting foster care removals could end up harming children.

Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

This week, it’s the Bill and Bill show. (Don’t worry, Grace and Kathryn will be back next week.) But in the meantime, you may have heard some CRAZY news coming out of Minnesota.

Over the weekend, Nick Shirley’s video exposing Minnesota’s daycare fraud went viral, finally confirming what we’ve been reporting for years: Minnesota is at the center of a massive fraud epidemic.

Bill Walsh sits down with Bill Glahn to break down everything you need to know, from where the fraud started to how it ballooned into a $10 BILLION scandal. Along the way, they even stop the tape to dig deeper into the details.

Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

Merry Christmas to all of our listeners! This week in lieu of our usual episode we bring you the shocking, must-watch Joe Thompson press conference.

Lead federal prosecutor Joe Thompson held a 35-minute press conference late last week to discuss the scope of the fraud, and to announce six more indictments and a new FBI raid. Thompson and his team have been looking into 14 Medicaid programs run by the state Department of Human Services (DHS) that DHS has labeled as high risk. The U.S. Attorney reported that these 14 programs have paid out some $18 billion (with a “b”) since 2018. Thompson believes that “half or more” of that amount went to fraud.

Enjoy the episode and we will see you next time!

Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

Grace and Kathryn break down the latest Minnesota news, including Governor Walz appointing a so-called “fraud czar” but is it a day late and a billion dollars short?

They’re then joined by Bill Walsh, who Stops the Tape on Walz’s latest press conference. When asked to take responsibility for the fraud, Walz instead takes credit for planes running on time at MSP…

After that, Grace and Kathryn dive into Minneapolis Public Schools’ shocking policy proposal: if layoffs are ever needed, white teachers would be laid off first, strictly because of the color of their skin.

Then on the back half of the show, we feature an interview by American Experiment policy fellow David Zimmer with Judge John Tunheim, unpacking the conspiracies surrounding the Kennedy assassination. Judge Tunheim served as chair of the Assassination Records Review Board under President Clinton. The full interview can be found here.
