Flight impacts at MSP, teachers strike, Hope Walz & more: Nov. 11 2025
Travelers are facing turbulence before they even take off — with hundreds of flights cancelled and delayed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. We dig into what’s behind the chaos, from weather impacts and staffing shortages to the ripple effects hitting Delta and other carriers, and what passengers can expect heading into one of the busiest travel weekends of the season. Meanwhile, teachers’ strikes and contract showdowns continue across Minnesota as educators demand smaller class sizes, higher pay, and better support for staff.

Then, Hope Walz — daughter of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz — joins us to talk about growing up in the public eye, using social media as a platform for advocacy, and what it’s like balancing humor, politics, and authenticity online. We explore how her voice is resonating with a new generation of Minnesotans and why her message is connecting beyond state lines. Plus, a look at the other big stories shaping Minnesota this week — from travel and education to politics and community — with the headlines that matter most to you.
