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.

    A new social media law hits Minnesota users soon, taxpayers may face a $130 million penalty over the state’s high SNAP error rate, and St. Paul’s budget deal has serious implications for teachers (PLUS: who’s making those decisions anyway?). On the back half, we hear from Bill Glahn about his show stopping fraud presentation that’s touring the state right now, plus unpack the most recent fraud developments.

    QOTW: Should the government regulate social media at all?

    What happens when the "No Dog is Illegal" crowd battles the "Stolen Land" crowd?? Grab your popcorn...

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast

    Minneapolis is struggling while leaders focus on bathhouses and dog parks, the state’s Clemency Review Commission seems a little too eager to let convicted killers walk free, and the Social Security fund is finally about to run out of money (here’s how Minnesotans will be affected). Later, economist Martha Njolomole shares how our state’s policymakers could actually address the affordability crisis in housing and childcare.

    QOTW: Do you think the dog park should be shut down or not?!

    WHAT Walz and Ellison knew about the FRAUD and WHEN they knew it....

    Check out the American Experiment Podcast

    A damning report from the U.S. House says Walz and Ellison knew about the fraud and did nothing, Minnesota’s national education ranking fell even further (somehow), and a murder in Mankato points to bigger problems with our justice system. On the back half, we unpack some breaking fraud news with Minnesota House Fraud Committee Chair Kristin Robbins.

    QOTW: Do you think Walz and Ellison will ever face criminal consequences?!
