Send a textWe unmask where all the fraud in Minnesota started...Check out the American Experiment PodcastWelcome 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.Remember to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE and never miss an episode of the American Experiment Podcast!
