Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast! This week, Grace and Kathryn are joined by Bill Walsh to break down the latest Minnesota and national news.

First, Governor Walz is calling for a special session in the Minnesota Legislature—but with no details. Is it just a political show, or is there more to it? We dig in.

Next, Ilhan Omar makes headlines defending her reportedly seven-figure net worth (yes, a MILLIONAIRE on a "public servant's" salary...)

Then, we cover Minneapolis City Council member Jeremiah Ellison, son of Keith Ellison, who is headed to Harvard—leaving his constituents behind (but not his paycheck!) and even fellow council members frustrated.

Finally, we wrap up with an insightful interview with Michael Shellenberger, our Fall Briefing speaker, on the state of free speech in America.
