American Experiment hosts Scott Jennings at 2025 Annual Dinner

On Saturday evening, American Experiment hosted its Annual Dinner at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. More than 600 guests attended.

Hosts Grace Keating and Kathryn Hinderaker asked Scott some questions, and they played several clips with our familiar “Stop the tape!” theme:

It was a great evening. We also announced, at the end, that our 2025 Fall Briefing will be on October 10, and will feature free speech advocate and two-time candidate for Governor of California Michael Shellenberger.
