In this high-energy Friday edition of What’s on Your Mind, host Scott Hennen cuts through the "liberal dribble" and media sensationalism surrounding the current state of America. The episode features a deep-dive Town Hall with Senator Kevin Cramer, covering the high stakes of the Iranian uprising and the "anti-cop" rhetoric fueling tension in Minnesota.
The conversation shifts from global security to domestic victories, highlighting the often-ignored economic successes of the Trump administration’s tax cuts. Later, Mike Lindell calls in fresh off a plane from Mar-a-Lago to discuss his 100% commitment to running for Governor of Minnesota and why the recent ICE drawdown in Minneapolis is actually a brilliant strategic move to expose political fraud. From "V-neck comforters" to the historical truth of the Confederacy, this episode is a masterclass in conservative perspective and grassroots activism.
