In this high-voltage Wednesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn break down a masterclass in leadership from President Trump as he navigates a "hyena-like" press corps while dismantling Iran's military capabilities. The hosts dive deep into the strategic victory in the Middle East, noting that 90% of Iran's missile capacity is gone and their Navy is currently sitting at the bottom of the sea.
The conversation shifts to the domestic front, where the team tackles the DHS shutdown and the "suicidal empathy" driving Democratic policies. Minnesota Representative Walter Hudson joins to expose the "special kind of stupid" in the legislature—including a refusal to accept federal school granting funds simply because they came from the "Orange Man." Later, the duo meets a Vietnam vet preparing to lay a wreath at Arlington, explores a high-tech cure for motion sickness at UND, and analyzes a profanity-scrubbed, truly bizarre prayer for "righteous rain" from James Carville.
