Send us a text Welcome back to the American Experiment Podcast! Grace and Kathryn kick things off with Turning Point’s first event since the assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk, held right here at the U of M. They break down the crowd’s energy, and the disturbing protests outside. Next, they react to alleged comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s return to air following ABC’s suspension debacle, plus a laughable clip of Senator Tina Smith at a press conference pretending to “defend” free speech. Then, the two tackle what U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson has dubbed Minnesota’s “culture of fraud.” In the second half, American Experiment’s public safety policy fellow David Zimmer joins to discuss the fallout from Mary Moriarty’s reckless decision to stop prosecuting certain crimes and what that means for Minnesotans.
