    Minnesota has its own AOC wannabe...

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast

    Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…

    Bill Walsh takes the reins while Grace and Kathryn are off on special assignment, with Isaac making an appearance on the producer cam.

    The episode kicks off with a bill passed in the Minnesota Senate that would spend $40 million on rent assistance. The catch? Illegal immigrants would also be eligible for the program.

    Then Bill breaks down Minnesota’s very own AOC wannabe, Erin Maye Quade, from the heated rhetoric to the Trump hatred, and the DFL’s broader strategy to shift attention away from their failures in Minnesota and toward Donald Trump heading into 2026.

    Next, a new DFL representative says she wants to “raise revenue” to fund the things “we all deem worthy” which, of course, means raising your taxes to pay for things like $40 million in rent assistance for illegal immigrants.

    On the back half of the episode, Grace and Kathryn sit down with Senator Andrew Mathews to discuss our latest energy campaign: “Nuke the Mandate, Free the Nukes!”

  • Episode 118 - UNCOVERED: The Origin Story of Fraud in Minnesota
    2026/03/10

    Send a text

    We unmask where all the fraud in Minnesota started...

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast


    Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…

    This week, Kathryn and Bill kick things off with the DFL’s new proposal to tax ICE agents who worked in Minnesota. One Republican asked whether that tax would also apply to paid protesters, something the DFL didn’t seem to appreciate, despite their well-known love of higher taxes.

    Next, after years of Governor Walz taking advantage of earmarks that sent hundreds of millions of dollars to friendly nonprofits, he now says he wants to end the practice. A good decision, or a day late and a couple hundred million short?

    Thanks to this system, billions have been lost to fraud in Minnesota over the years. We open up the vault to show you the exact moment it all began.

    Then, Bill and Kathryn break down some of the craziness at the Capitol—including a DFL representative suggesting we should study the benefits of shoplifting.

    On the back half of the episode, Grace joins Bill and Kathryn to break down the brand-new results from the latest Thinking Minnesota Poll, including what Minnesotans really think about Operation Metro Surge.

  • Episode 117 - Feds HALT Minnesota Medicaid Payments
    2026/03/03

    Send a text

    The Feds HALT Minnesota's medicaid payments until it can get its fraud problem figured out....

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast!

    Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…

    Our hosts dig into why the Trump administration is halting $260 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota. Is it really about stopping fraud, or just “political retribution,” as Gov. Walz claims?

    Later, they examine another unintended consequence of Minnesota’s fraud fallout: a state budget forecast that (at least at first glance) gives us a surplus, not a deficit. Finally, they question the governor’s latest “gun control” plan. (Why is it based on yet another tax? And shouldn’t we start by actually enforcing the firearm laws we already have?)

    On the back half, they sit down with Hillsdale College professor David Azerrad for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of modern conservatism, what it means to be a true “American,” and why it’s our country’s spirit, not its dream, that makes us great.

  • Episode 115 - Walz's $10 MILLION Anti-ICE Handout
    2026/02/17

    Send a text

    Governor Walz purposes a $10 million handout right on the heals of MASSIVE state fraud...

    Check out more of the American Experiment Podcast

    Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…

    Grace and Kathryn dig into Governor Walz’s $10 million “relief package” proposal to bail out businesses negatively impacted by the ICE surge. How can we trust this administration to hand out more money without losing it to fraud? Speaking of which, the Department of Human Services (a.k.a. fraud central) put out a fraud fact-checking website that strangely lacks any facts of its own...and be sure to check out www.MNFraudFiles.com!

    Later, Bill Walsh gives a preview of Minnesota’s 2026 legislative session, which starts TODAY. Will the DFL pass an “assault weapons” ban? Why are Republicans pushing for “conformity” with the feds? And should the state try to avoid a bonding bill?

    Lastly, Grace and Kathryn get Rachel Paulose’s thoughts on the ICE force reduction, turmoil in the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s office, protecting fraud whistleblowers, and even the release of the Epstein files.

  • Episode 114 - Minneapolis Yoga Karens Have an Anti-ICE MELTDOWN
    2026/02/10

    Minneapolis Yoga Karens throw HUGE meltdown, berating employees, caught on camera...

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast!

    Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…

    Grace and Kathryn break down the insane footage from inside a Minneapolis CorePower yoga studio, where a pack of wild Karens berated two employees over the company’s stance on ICE. (Yes, it’s as crazy as it sounds.)

    Then, they investigate Minnesota’s new Paid Family Leave program, which Governor Walz loves to brag about but is already spending way more than was promised. (Remember, it’s only been open since January 1.)

    Later, the girls examine a study showing more young people are earning college degrees than ever before… yet they have fewer skills and lower test scores? (If these posters from St. Cloud State University are any indication, it’s no wonder why…)

    And finally, healthcare policy fellow Matt Dean joins the show to share some big news surrounding transgender procedures for children; he also explores why healthcare practitioners using their platform to attack ICE is so problematic.

  • Episode 113 - Dr. Oz Pulls Back the Curtain on MN FRAUD!
    2026/02/03

    Send a text

    Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast!

    Grace and Kathryn sit down to catch you up on all the latest legal drama here in Minnesota. First, a judge orders the release of an illegal immigrant, and his 5-year-old son, after the man abandoned the child while fleeing from ICE. And, Keith Ellison suffers a loss in court as he attempts to block Operation Metro Surge.

    After that, they dig into a story from the Star Tribune: an Ecuadorian family of illegal immigrants living in Minnesota decides to self-deport.

    Next, Dr. Oz, Administrator of CMS, pays a visit to Minnesota—one of the most notorious fraud hubs in the country and home to more than $400 million in fraud. Be sure to visit our new site, MNFraudFiles.com, for the latest information and updates on Minnesota’s growing fraud scandal.

    Finally, Renee Carlson from Minnesota Family Council joins the show to talk about defending women before the Supreme Court.
