		<description><![CDATA[With host Scott Hannon "frolicking" through the fjords of Norway, guest host Greg Steeman takes the reins for a power-packed session of What’s On Your Mind. This episode pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked "third branch" of government and the high-stakes world of state utility regulation. We sit down with the North Dakota Supreme Court’s newest Justice, Mark Freese, who shares his unlikely journey from auto mechanic and police officer to the state's highest bench. Then, Public Service Commissioner Jill Kringstedt joins to explain how North Dakota maintains the lowest electric rates in the nation and why energy independence is the state's ultimate "cheat code." Finally, State Representative Scott Wagner sparks a debate on election reform and the potential for city-level primaries. It’s an episode about public service, pragmatic politics, and why your power bill is lower than your neighbor’s. 🎧 Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:18] – The Supreme Court Challenge Greg challenges listeners to name all five North Dakota Supreme Court justices without using Google. Spoiler: Most people can't, yet it’s a co-equal branch of government that impacts every law in the state. [00:05:05] – From the Garage to the Gavel Justice Mark Freese details his "Forrest Gump" career path—starting as an auto mechanic student before becoming a police officer, a JAG officer in the Army National Guard, and eventually a Supreme Court Justice. [00:08:14] – The Ethics of Defense "How can you represent that person?" Justice Freese provides a powerful defense of the Sixth Amendment, comparing the role of a defense attorney to an emergency room doctor who must treat every patient regardless of their past. [00:13:00] – Mandatory Review vs. The High Courts A fascinating look at legal bureaucracy: Justice Freese explains why North Dakota is unique because the Supreme Court must hear every properly filed appeal, unlike the U.S. Supreme Court which only hears about 40 cases a year. [00:16:15] – The 9-Year-Old Campaigner Jill Kringstedt shares how her obsession with public service began in the 4th grade while wearing out her sneakers door-knocking for John Hoeven. [00:20:12] – The $250 Million Savings Commissioner Kringstedt reveals a staggering stat: If North Dakotans paid the same utility rates as Louisiana (the 2nd cheapest state), it would cost the state’s economy an extra quarter of a billion dollars annually. [00:22:12] – "Fairy Dust and Unicorn Farts" Guest host Kevin Flynn vents about the legal battles between Minnesota…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his final broadcast before heading to Norway, host Scott Hennen delivers a powerful Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind. This episode balances global security concerns with local North Dakota heart, moving from the strategic necessity of the war in Iran to the launch of a new regional business, "Deep Roots Drainage." The hour concludes with a deeply moving "Feel-Good Friday" segment, featuring the story of Bowden Meyer, an elite young athlete fighting his way back from a traumatic brain injury. From the "Beltway to the Backyard," this episode covers the resolve required for national defense, the importance of legacy planning, and the unwavering strength of the Fargo-Moorhead community. Standout Moments [00:01:00] – The Iranian Decision Point Retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Arnold Punaro joins the program to break down the "three pillars" of pressure currently being applied to Iran: military blockades, economic asset freezes, and a diplomatic pause. [00:12:45] – A Soldier’s Perspective A 31-year veteran of the Army National Guard calls into the show via the app to share his pride in serving under the current administration, noting a return to "basics" and "lethality." [00:19:00] – The War Over Water Levi Otis joins Scott to officially launch "Deep Roots Drainage." They discuss the legal battles over land easements, salinity issues in North Dakota soil, and how 70 years of combined team experience is helping growers reclaim unproductive land. [00:23:30] – Eliminating the "Probate Pain" Mark Wagner from ND Estate Services explains why a "Will" might not be enough to protect your family from a three-year legal battle. He breaks down the necessity of living trusts and the "Peace Patrol" approach to legacy planning. [00:26:00] – The Story of "Bo-Leaving" In a gripping interview, Chris Meyer recounts the freak golf cart accident that nearly took his son Bowden’s life. He details the harrowing journey through level-one trauma centers and the "battle of inches" occurring daily at Sanford as Bo learns to walk and talk again. [00:28:45] – A Community Call to Action Scott and Chris highlight a massive benefit event for Bowden at Sts. Anne & Joachim Catholic Church, featuring high-end auction items including trips to Cabo and Big Sky, all to support the Meyer family’s immense medical recovery costs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-velocity Thursday edition, Scott Hennen is joined by a powerhouse lineup to break down the policies and scandals shaping the spring of 2026. From the "groundbreaking" Working Families Tax Cuts to the "Wild West" of unregulated vaping and a multi-billion dollar Medicaid fraud scheme in Minnesota, this episode explores the tension between government oversight and personal freedom. Special guest Senator Katie Britt (AL) joins Senator Kevin Cramer (ND) to unveil the "secret weapon" of the upcoming midterms: a suite of family-friendly tax provisions including the innovative "Trump Accounts" for newborns.

		<description><![CDATA[In a sprawling, high-stakes edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen navigates the turbulent waters of 2026 American politics. From the halls of the North Dakota State Capitol to the resilience of a widow in the crosshairs of conspiracy, this episode explores the "dehumanization" of the political discourse. Governor Kelly Armstrong joins the program to discuss his bold new budget and the strategic importance of the Sentinel program in Minot. Later, author Seth Barron breaks down the "weaponization" of sacred institutions, while a powerful, first-hand account from Erica Kirk highlights the personal toll of radicalized rhetoric. It’s an episode dedicated to finding a way back to civil discourse in an age of "all-caps" hostility and institutional distrust. Standout Moments [00:03] – The Budget Tightrope Governor Kelly Armstrong defends his "bold" budget proposal, explaining why North Dakota’s 20% growth over the last two decades makes government expansion necessary but ultimately unsustainable without curbing ongoing expenditures. [00:15] – The Volume on Trump The Governor reflects on the unique polarization surrounding President Trump, noting that while he brought many new voters into the fold, he also evokes a level of "unique hatred" that has fundamentally shifted the volume of political debate. [00:26] – A Widow Speaks Out Erica Kirk delivers a searing first-hand account of the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the "epidemic of dehumanization" she has faced since the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk. [00:32] – Weaponized Institutions Seth Barron, author of Weaponized, details how elite capture of academia, law, and media has created a "long march through the institutions," and why the solution must begin with local, community-based action. [00:54] – The "Purple-Haired" Masterclass The team breaks down the viral exchange between Lee Zeldin and a congressional representative, highlighting the tension between agency administrators following the law and activists pushing a "radical agenda" via the EPA. [01:24] – Central Banks and the Gold Binge David Fisher of Landmark Gold analyzes why central banks have shifted into a "relentless" gold-buying spree, purchasing over 1,000 tons annually as a hedge against currency devaluation and global instability. [01:33] – Live from the Oval Office A rare, unfiltered Q&A session with the President (recorded live) covering everything from the military status of the war in Ukraine to the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act in Louisiana.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this somber and intense edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn grapple with the disturbing aftermath of the third major assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in two years. The duo explores the "political sickness" sweeping the nation, questioning if the extreme rhetoric from political leaders and late-night hosts has made political violence inevitable. The conversation dives deep into the "dumbed down" state of American discourse, the collapse of trust in national institutions, and the alarming findings of widespread SNAP benefit fraud involving luxury vehicle owners. From breaking news on the second indictment of former FBI Director James Comey to the latest "Trooper Talk" with the North Dakota Highway Patrol, this episode pulls no punches on the state of the union. Standout Moments [00:00:05] – How Does This End? Scott opens the show with a heavy heart, discussing the dehumanization of President Trump. He questions if the escalating rhetoric of "maximum warfare" and labeling the president a "dictator" has reached a point where an assassination is the desired outcome for some on the left. [00:02:66] – The Jimmy Kimmel "Expectant Widow" Excuse The hosts tear into Jimmy Kimmel’s explanation of his controversial joke about Melania Trump. Kevin, from a comedic perspective, analyzes why the monologue wasn’t just a "light roast" but a corrosive part of the current political divide. [00:04:33] – The Dumbing Down of America Grand Forks caller Ron offers a bleak assessment of the country, discussing foreign infiltration into the judicial system and the "endless" cycle of corruption that he believes has taken the nation past the point of no return. [00:05:04] – Trooper Talk: Spring Safety & Reckless Riders Captain Brian Ewen of the North Dakota Highway Patrol joins to discuss spring road safety. He addresses the myths of loud mufflers as safety features and explains what "reasonable suspicion" looks like for a traffic stop. [00:15:00] – Ben Shapiro on Rotted Institutions The show features an extensive, insightful segment from a Ben Shapiro speech regarding the collapse of trust in the media, academia, and science. Shapiro explains how "emotivisim"—attributing nefarious motives to anyone you disagree with—is the death of politics. [00:30:60] – Shameless Raids in the Twin Cities Scott and Kevin react to Governor Tim Walz taking credit for federal raids on Somali fraud centers in Minnesota, while reporting suggests state agencies were actually far behind the DOJ and FBI in taking…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this somber and high-stakes edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn address the nation in the wake of yet another assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. The duo explores the "political sickness" permeating America, questioning whether the escalating rhetoric from elected officials and media figures has reached a tipping point of cause and effect. The episode features a comprehensive look at the fallout, including a direct response from the White House briefing room by Caroline Leavitt, who contrasts the shooter’s manifesto with everyday social media discourse. We also dive into local governance with Fargo City Commission and School Board candidates who are fighting for transparency and safety, plus an update on the legal battle over gerrymandering in Virginia with Ken Cuccinelli. Finally, we find a moment of hope through a local Rotary effort to eradicate polio worldwide. Standout Moments [45:60] – Why Does This Keep Happening? Scott and Kevin grapple with the reality of a third major assassination attempt in two years, discussing the "systemic demonization" of political opponents and the wisdom of an audience that sees the divide as "good versus evil." [46:50] – The Disintegration of the Norm A deep-dive conversation with callers on whether the modern Democratic Party has become unrecognizable to traditional members, citing the influence of the "loony left" and a departure from historical values. [47:25] – The Clergy and Propaganda Caller Richard from West Fargo challenges the role of modern churches and the "fake church," arguing that political rubber-stamping from the pulpit is fueling social division rather than pastoral healing. [48:22] – A Reel of Rhetoric The show plays a disturbing montage of media and political figures over the years openly calling for "unrest in the streets," punching opponents in the face, and "putting a bullet" in the President. [48:85] – Caroline Leavitt’s Briefing Room Return Direct from the White House, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt delays her maternity leave to address the Saturday night attack, calling out Jimmy Kimmel’s "expectant widow" comments and demanding the funding of Homeland Security. [50:64] – Cleaning Up the Streets of Fargo Fargo City Commission candidate Scott Brekke discusses the alarming rise in public drug use and theft, comparing a 38% arrest rate for shoplifting in 2022 to just 18% in 2025.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a high-stakes Friday on What’s On Your Mind as Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn launch a mission to fix North Dakota’s low voter turnout ahead of the June elections. The first hour serves as a "Talk Radio Town Hall," featuring candid conversations with local candidates Chad Peterson (Fargo City Commission), Paul Moore, and Carissa Gueske (Fargo School Board) about fiscal transparency and the "choice-ready" vs. "proficiency" gap in schools. The political heat intensifies as Senator John Hoeven joins to break down the naval blockade of Iran and North Dakota's growing role as the "tip of the spear" in space and drone defense. Later, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth pulls no punches regarding a new $100 million fraud discovery in housing programs under Governor Tim Walz's watch. Between the heavy hitters, the show stays grounded with a heartwarming "Salute to Smiles" for a local veteran and a hilarious trip down memory lane as listeners share their grandmothers' most iconic (and confusing) sayings. Standout Moments [34:44] – The "Unemployed" Entrepreneur Fargo City Commission candidate Chad Peterson explains how three decades of signing the fronts and backs of paychecks informs his "defensible expenditure" approach to government budgets. [36:26] – Heavenly Minded, No Earthly Good Scott kicks off the Fun Friday question of the day, digging into grandma’s best sayings. From "don't let the door hit you" to the mystery of "knowing where to put your potatoes," the phone lines light up with nostalgia. [37:34] – The Proficiency Crisis School board candidates Paul Moore and Carissa Gueske dive into alarming statistics, noting that despite an $11,000 spend per student, elementary proficiency in reading and math is hovering between 36% and 38%. [38:41] – The Stranglehold on Iran Senator John Hoeven discusses the military effectiveness of the current naval blockade and why any deal with the Iranian regime must be "verifiable" because they simply cannot be trusted. [39:25] – North Dakota: The Golden Dome A fascinating look at the expansion of Space Force operations at Grand Forks Air Force Base and how North Dakota is leading the world in counter-drone technology and missile tracking. [40:32] – The WBI Bakken Pipeline Justin Kringsted, Director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority, gives a 2030 outlook on the massive natural gas project that aims to connect Watford City to Fargo. [43:40] – The $100 Million Drug Housing Fraud Minnesota Speaker Lisa Demuth exposes a massive budget explosion…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this intense and eye-opening edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn are joined by two Persian-Americans, Raheel and Amir, to pull back the curtain on what is truly happening inside Iran during the current ceasefire. While Western news cycles focus on diplomatic negotiations and 15-point proposals, our guests share harrowing first-hand reports of a "garrison state" where public executions of teenagers continue at dawn and foreign militias control the streets of Tehran. The conversation explores the struggle of Iranian students in the U.S. facing visa pauses, the "mafia-like" tactics of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and why negotiating with the current regime is, in the words of our guests, "negotiating with the devil." Plus, a look at the future of the North Dakota farm economy and a heartwarming "Salute to Smiles" for a local veteran. Standout Moments [24:16] – The Garrison State Raheel describes the chilling reality in Tehran during the ceasefire, where Toyota Helix trucks mounted with machine guns roam intersections and the regime uses foreign militias to suppress its own people. [24:48] – Profiting from Pain Amir explains how the Islamic Republic’s elite actually profit from international sanctions while the average citizen suffers, arguing that the regime views the Strait of Hormuz as a weapon rather than a source of national revenue. [24:88] – Horrors in the Prisons In a disturbing segment, Amir details the systemic abuse and "gang rapes" of women in Iranian prisons before their execution—a tactic used by the regime to strip victims of their perceived religious dignity before death. [25:13] – The Student Visa Crisis Amir highlights a silent crisis in the U.S.: a blanket pause on USCIS applications for legal Iranian students, leaving many facing potential deportation back to the very regime they are fighting against. [26:19] – The E15 Market Signal Matt Perdue, President of the North Dakota Farmers Union, explains why year-round E15 is the "stable demand" engine needed to support 95 million acres of American corn. [27:03] – Creating the Problem Scott and Kevin tackle the investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging the group funded the very extremist rallies they later used to solicit donations and defame political opponents. [30:61] – The Titanic of Health Dr. Mike Jorgensen uses a powerful analogy about the Titanic to explain why a "Wellness Score" is vital—arguing that it wasn’t just the iceberg that sank the ship,…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen and Jay Thomas team up for a high-stakes "Talk-a-Palooza" edition of What's On Your Mind. The duo breaks down the fireworks from the Fargo mayoral debate, analyzing the "warrior spirit" of the candidates and the critical importance of voter turnout in North Dakota’s largest city. The conversation takes a global turn as tech innovator Arnie Bellini sounds the alarm on "digital World War III," detailing how China is using AI and "kill switches" in imported electronics to infiltrate US infrastructure. We also hear a victory story from a Kansas family fighting for privacy in elementary schools, a deep dive into the 30th anniversary of the movie Fargo, and a "Money, Markets, and Metals" update on why gold is currently outperforming the major stock indexes. Episode Highlights [00:02:30] – The Fargo Mayoral Breakdown Scott and Jay analyze the fallout from the Fargo theater debate. They discuss whether candidates are "splitting the conservative vote" and why Deputy Mayor Denise Colpack’s "I’m not a liberal" defense is raising red flags for local voters. [00:11:15] – The 20% Problem A sobering look at the "elephant in the room": why only two out of ten eligible voters are showing up for local elections. Jay and Scott debate how to fix "voter checkout" and why school board races are the most important overlooked seats on the ballot. [00:15:30] – Cyber Warfare & The Trojan Horse Arnie Bellini, Chairman of ConnectSecure, explains the terrifying reality of digital espionage. He details how 50% of global mobile network chips are produced in China and the discovery of "kill switches" in imported electric transformers. [00:20:45] – Victory in the Heartland Constitutional lawyer Kim Hermann shares a major win for parental rights in Kansas. She details a three-year battle that reached the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, involving privacy protections for a first-grade girl. [00:22:45] – 30 Years of "Uff-Da" The hosts celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Coen brothers' masterpiece, Fargo. Listeners weigh in on whether the movie’s iconic (and exaggerated) accents helped or hurt the region’s global brand. [00:28:30] – Gold vs. The S&P 500 David Fisher from Landmark Gold provides a startling comparison: while the S&P 500 is up 3.8% year-to-date, gold and silver are surging at nearly 10%. Fisher explains the "compressing safety premium" and why foreigners are starting to view US Treasuries as a "guaranteed loss." [00:31:15] – Trump’s Social Media Victory…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn navigate a Tuesday jam-packed with bombshell reports, from controversial school construction plans in suburban Minneapolis to declassified records that rewrite the history of the 2016 election. Alpha News reporter Liz Conlon joins the show to discuss the "prayer rooms" and "foot-washing stations" appearing in Osseo School District blueprints, as well as the disturbing harassment of federal employees at the Whipple building. Later, the hosts welcome Tony Gehrig, who is mounting a comeback for the Fargo City Commission with a laser focus on the city's $1.3 billion debt. The episode concludes with a comprehensive breakdown of Tulsi Gabbard’s recent findings regarding "Project Russia," declassifying how the intelligence community allegedly manufactured a narrative to undermine the Trump presidency. Episode Highlights [00:01:00] – Blueprints and Foot-Washing Stations Liz Conlon of Alpha News breaks down a viral story involving the Osseo School District. Blueprints for Park Center Senior High allegedly show dedicated prayer rooms and foot-washing stations, sparking a debate over religious accommodations and tax-dollar usage. [00:10:00] – The Whipple Building Stalkers A disturbing report on protesters at the Whipple building in Minnesota.

[00:13:00] – Introducing "Minnesota Mao" Conlon previews Alpha News’ third documentary, Minnesota Mao, which explores Governor Tim Walz's extensive history with China and his ideological ties to communism, set to release on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square. [00:30:00] – Tony Gehrig: The Debt Warrior Fargo City Commission candidate Tony Gehrig explains why he’s returning to the political arena. He details Fargo's staggering $1.3 billion debt and calls for an end to the "sweetheart deals" for developers that fuel special assessments. [00:40:00] – Operation Epic Fury & Iranian Gold An update on the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Global security expert Michael Letts joins to discuss the discovery of $120 billion in gold in Iran and the legal push for military tribunals to address government corruption.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen kicks off a high-stakes Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind with a deep dive into international intrigue, tech giants, and local politics. We begin with a harrowing perspective from Kawar Faroq, a leader in the local Kurdish community, who pulls back the curtain on the brutal reality of life in Iran and why 18 million Kurds are the primary targets of the regime’s incarceration and violence. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into "The Great Digital De-platforming" as Mike Lindell joins the show with a breaking update: Apple has reportedly locked him out of his iCloud, potentially erasing 13 years of business and personal data. We also talk with Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls about his "Contract with Minnesota" and why he believes a political outsider is the only way to save the state from "the wilderness." Finally, the show wraps with breaking news regarding a large police presence and lockdowns at Fargo North High School and Washington Elementary. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:03] – The Kurdish Prison Stat Kawar Faroq reveals the shocking statistic that while Kurds are a minority in Iran, they make up nearly 50% of the prison population. He details the horrific treatment of women and the regime's "enemy of God" criminal charges. [00:08:41] – Lindell’s iCloud Lockout In a heated segment, Mike Lindell describes being locked out of his Apple account just as he began sending out campaign materials. He warns listeners about the "power of the giants" to dismantle a person’s life and business history in an instant. [00:13:51] – securing the Vote Mike Lindell answers the "one thing" question: if elected governor, his first and most vital job is to make Minnesota’s elections the most secure in the nation. [00:19:15] – Trump vs. The Vatican Scott discusses President Trump’s recent comments on the Pope regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities, emphasizing the difference between a faith leader and a world leader forced to "force the peace." [00:22:15] – The 20-Year Wilderness Kendall Qualls breaks down the Minnesota GOP’s "zero for 20" streak in statewide offices and explains why the party needs a "new quarterback" from the private sector to attract metro swing voters. [00:33:55] – The Lost Children of the Border A look at a staggering report alleging that 425,000 unaccompanied minors were "lost" during the previous administration's border crisis, with efforts now underway to recover them.

		<description><![CDATA[In this jam-packed episode of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen navigates a world in transition. From the front lines of the forgotten war in Ukraine to the high-stakes internal politics of the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, we explore the stories that mainstream media ignores. Scott sits down with ag-tech pioneer Howard Dahl for a boots-on-the-ground look at Russia's military failings and the cutting-edge drone technology changing the face of warfare. Closer to home, North Dakota's new Superintendent of Public Instruction, Levi Bachmeier, discusses his 50-school tour and the fight for fact-based, patriotic curriculum. We also hear a heartbreaking and infuriating account of a Grand Forks family's battle for justice against a lenient judge following the death of their six-year-old daughter. Plus, a deep dive into the latest tax refund metrics, a look at Minnesota's "Land of 10,000 Frauds," and a lesson in "pasty butt" from the world of agriculture. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:03] – Russia’s Face-Saving Exit? Howard Dahl explains why Vladimir Putin may have realized his mistake within 30 days of invading Ukraine and how 21% interest rates are crippling the Russian economy. [00:05:30] – The $1,000 Drone vs. The $10 Million Plane A fascinating look at how Ukrainian engineers—with help from a brilliant Fargo native—are using fiber optics and direct-wire drones to bypass Russian jamming signals. [00:09:40] – Boots on the Ground in ND Schools Superintendent Levi Bachmeier shares insights from his visits to 50 North Dakota schools, from the four-student district in Marmarth to the 14,000-student system in Bismarck. [00:12:48] – Facts vs. Feelings in the Classroom Bachmeier tackles a listener's question on gender roles and biology, advocating for a curriculum grounded in the Enlightenment and common sense rather than "feelings-based" instruction. [00:15:20] – Justice for Katarina Nicole Luthain and Robert Withers share the gut-wrenching story of their daughter's death at the hands of a drunk driver and their quest to remove a judge they label as "dishonorable." [00:23:00] – The Tax Refund Surge State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus delivers good news for North Dakotans, detailing how average refunds are up 11% thanks to federal taxable income reductions. [00:27:30] – The Wealth Tax Cliff John Hindoracker breaks down a radical proposed wealth tax in Minnesota that could punish family farmers whose assets exceed $10 million.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[In this jam-packed episode of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen navigates a world in transition. From the front lines of the forgotten war in Ukraine to the high-stakes internal politics of the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, we explore the stories that mainstream media ignores. Scott sits down with ag-tech pioneer Howard Dahl for a boots-on-the-ground look at Russia's military failings and the cutting-edge drone technology changing the face of warfare. Closer to home, North Dakota's new Superintendent of Public Instruction, Levi Bachmeier, discusses his 50-school tour and the fight for fact-based, patriotic curriculum. We also hear a heartbreaking and infuriating account of a Grand Forks family's battle for justice against a lenient judge following the death of their six-year-old daughter. Plus, a deep dive into the latest tax refund metrics, a look at Minnesota's "Land of 10,000 Frauds," and a lesson in "pasty butt" from the world of agriculture. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:03] – Russia’s Face-Saving Exit? Howard Dahl explains why Vladimir Putin may have realized his mistake within 30 days of invading Ukraine and how 21% interest rates are crippling the Russian economy. [00:05:30] – The $1,000 Drone vs. The $10 Million Plane A fascinating look at how Ukrainian engineers—with help from a brilliant Fargo native—are using fiber optics and direct-wire drones to bypass Russian jamming signals. [00:09:40] – Boots on the Ground in ND Schools Superintendent Levi Bachmeier shares insights from his visits to 50 North Dakota schools, from the four-student district in Marmarth to the 14,000-student system in Bismarck. [00:12:48] – Facts vs. Feelings in the Classroom Bachmeier tackles a listener's question on gender roles and biology, advocating for a curriculum grounded in the Enlightenment and common sense rather than "feelings-based" instruction. [00:15:20] – Justice for Katarina Nicole Luthain and Robert Withers share the gut-wrenching story of their daughter's death at the hands of a drunk driver and their quest to remove a judge they label as "dishonorable." [00:23:00] – The Tax Refund Surge State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus delivers good news for North Dakotans, detailing how average refunds are up 11% thanks to federal taxable income reductions.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen counts down to America’s 250th anniversary with a deep dive into North Dakota’s crowning contribution: the upcoming Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Scott challenges the "ho-hum" attitude toward the project, explaining why this interactive museum in Medora is set to become a global destination and a powerful symbol of American resilience. The episode moves from historical legacies to modern-day battlegrounds as Scott welcomes a heavy-hitting lineup of guests. Minnesota Senate candidate and battle-tested warrior Adam Swarzi joins the show to discuss the strategic importance of the Iranian blockade and the "trillions in fraud" still lurking beneath the surface of government spending. VA Secretary Doug Collins provides an exclusive "report card" on veterans' care, detailing how the administration has slashed the claims backlog from 260,000 to 80,000 in record time. Finally, the show tackles the alarming rise of global Christian persecution and the economic shift of "de-dollarization" with experts Martin Moyer and David Fisher. Standout Moments: [00:01:20] The Jewel of the Badlands: Scott highlights the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, opening July 4th, 2026, featuring AI-interactive versions of TR and artifacts like his deeply personal 1884 diary.   [00:06:55] A Tradition of Presidents: A look at why every living U.S. president is traditionally expected to attend the library’s opening in Medora.   [00:09:40] Energy Independence: Senate candidate Adam Swarzi reflects on the "Abraham Accords" and argues that the current Iran policy is the only way to stop OPEC from holding Americans hostage for energy.   [00:14:40] The Navy SEAL Standard: Swarzi discusses his nine deployments and the "no-fail" mindset he plans to bring to the U.S. Senate.   [00:20:21] The Man in the Arena: A stirring reading of Teddy Roosevelt’s most famous rhetorical triumph on the value of the doer over the critic.   [00:22:45] VA Breakthroughs: Secretary Doug Collins details the expansion of "Community Care" and the opening of 34 new clinics, including locations in Williston and Grand Forks.   [00:24:50] Moving at "Trump Speed": Collins explains how re-industrializing the VA bureaucracy has cut wait times from over 130 days down to 70.   [00:28:45] The Global Silence: Martin Moyer of the Christian Action Network discusses the "Palm Sunday Massacre" in Nigeria and why Christian persecution often fails to make front-page news.   [00:32:45] The De-Dollarization Trend: David Fisher of Landmark Gold warns about the shift away from the petrodollar and why France recently moved 129 tons of gold…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen dives into a puzzling political shift in the "Red State" of North Dakota, where a citizen-led initiative for universal free school meals is gaining massive traction despite the state's conservative roots. Scott questions why 80% of North Dakotans seem ready to enshrine free lunch into the state constitution and talks to frustrated callers about the potential for long-term fiscal fallout and "fraud funnels." The conversation shifts gears to the "silent war on truckers" with guest Gordon McGill, a third-generation trucker and author of End of the Road. McGill breaks down how bad policy, non-domiciled CDL loopholes, and a "fake" driver shortage narrative are destabilizing American roads. Later, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak joins from D.C. to discuss the government shutdown, her push to stop pay for members of Congress during such events, and her recent trade delegation to Taiwan. Finally, "The Money Man" Brien Krank stops by to explain why the stock market is shrugging off Iranian blockades and how AI continues to be the primary engine of the current bull market. Standout Moments: [00:01:25] The "Kumbaya" Lunch Initiative: Scott reacts to the 57,000 signatures gathered to put universal free school meals on the North Dakota ballot, questioning why a wealthy state is seeking government-funded lunch for all. [00:08:45] Inside the War on Truckers: Author Gordon McGill explains the "Trucking Action Plan" loopholes and why the industry has a retention problem, not a shortage. [00:16:30] Hobby Lobby & Religious Freedom: Mark Jortsman of the ND Family Alliance previews the upcoming Faith, Family, and Freedom Gala featuring Hobby Lobby President Steve Green. [00:19:50] Hardcore Truth on Iran: A fiery caller from Grand Forks argues for "cutting the head off the snake" in Iran, leading to a discussion on Iran's admitted nuclear ambitions. [00:23:40] The "Stigma" Argument: Scott deconstructs the claim that universal meals are needed to reduce the "stigma" of poverty, arguing that modern technology already makes lunch tickets anonymous. [00:28:45] No Work, No Pay: Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak details a freshman-led bill that would prohibit members of Congress from being paid during a government shutdown. [00:32:10] Chippers in Taiwan: Fedorchak recounts her trade mission to Taiwan, where she used North Dakota’s famous "Widman’s Chippers" to sweeten semiconductor and beef trade talks. [00:35:15] Shrugging off the Blockade: Brien Krank explains why the stock market is rallying despite the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, citing "mother's milk" corporate earnings.

Scott breaks down the raw emotion of the astronauts' homecoming and explains why winning the "war in space" is a vital signal to global competitors like China. The conversation then shifts to the heavy-hitting political landscape of the Midwest. U.S. Senate candidate Michelle Tafoya joins Scott in-studio to discuss her campaign to "right the ship" in Minnesota, tackling the state's massive fraud scandals, the "woke" educational agenda, and why 200,000 missing Republican voters are the key to a 2026 victory.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen opens this high-energy edition of What’s On Your Mind by refusing to let the news cycle bury one of the greatest American achievements of the decade: the successful splashdown and return of the Artemis 2 crew. Scott breaks down the raw emotion of the astronauts' homecoming and explains why winning the "war in space" is a vital signal to global competitors like China. The conversation then shifts to the heavy-hitting political landscape of the Midwest. U.S. Senate candidate Michelle Tafoya joins Scott in-studio to discuss her campaign to "right the ship" in Minnesota, tackling the state's massive fraud scandals, the "woke" educational agenda, and why 200,000 missing Republican voters are the key to a 2026 victory. Later, Scott provides live analysis of President Trump’s Rose Garden press conference, covering everything from the naval blockade of Iran to his public "dust-up" with the Pope and a surprise DoorDash delivery that highlights his "no tax on tips" policy. Standout Moments: [00:10:50] The "Joy Train" Returns: Scott plays moving clips from Artemis 2 astronauts Victor Glover and Christina Koch, highlighting their first press conference in Houston after 10 days in space.   [00:14:50] Michelle Tafoya In-Studio: The former sports broadcaster turned Senate candidate pulls no punches regarding the Tim Walz administration, calling for prison sentences for those involved in state fraud scandals.   [00:20:15] Voting with Their Feet: Tafoya explains why middle-class families are fleeing Minnesota for "freer states" like South Carolina and Florida to escape radical agendas.   [00:22:10] The $10 Million Race: A look at the financial metrics of the Minnesota Senate race and Tafoya’s 2.2-million-dollar first-quarter fundraising haul.   [00:27:12] No Tax on Tips: President Trump makes history by accepting a DoorDash delivery at the White House to promote tax relief for service workers.   [00:30:45] Blockading Iran: Trump takes media questions on the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, vowing that Iran will never become a nuclear nation.   [00:32:30] Trump vs. The Pope: Scott addresses the tension between the Vatican and the White House, arguing that the Pope and the President have fundamentally different roles and constituencies.   [00:37:15] Behavioral Health in Schools: Sanford Health psychologist Dr. Nicole Cross-Hillman discusses a growing program bringing mental health services directly into classrooms.   [00:41:40] Red at the Ralph: A preview of the upcoming gubernatorial debate in Thief River Falls featuring Mike Lindell and other Republican contenders.…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from "The Hive" tech accelerator in Grand Forks, host Scott Hennen dives deep into the rapidly shifting landscape of national defense and cultural identity. This "America 250 Countdown" edition tackles the sobering reality of modern warfare—where $1,000 drones can take out million-dollar military assets—and explores the "Point Defense Battle Lab" newly unveiled at the Grand Forks Air Force Base.   The conversation shifts from the "tip of the spear" in North Dakota to the spiritual revival happening among Gen Z with guest Nick Hall. Later, Scott unpacks the psychological roots of "woke" ideology with Dr. John Mills, discussing how social justice has transformed from a push for fairness into a tool for identity politics. From impeachment talks in Minnesota to "fancy like" date nights at Applebee's, this episode covers the heavy, the holy, and the hopeful.   Standout Moments [00:01] The Death of Big Military Scott discusses his visit to the Grand Forks Air Force Base, explaining how the era of "big, heavy things" like massive planes is being replaced by the nanosecond precision of drone warfare.   [00:08] The Modern Billy Graham Evangelist Nick Hall joins the show to discuss the "Pack the Shack" event in Fargo, noting a historic shift where young men are now outpacing young women in religious passion.   [00:16] Radio Graffiti: The Gas Tax Holiday The phones open for "Radio Graffiti," where a listener proposes that North Dakota follow Indiana's lead by suspending the gas tax to provide relief for those living paycheck to paycheck.   [00:19] Impeaching the "St. Paul Cabal" A breakdown of the newly introduced impeachment articles against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison over allegations of corrupt conduct.   [00:32] Inside the Battle Lab Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer explains how North Dakota was chosen to manage the world's drone defense procedures, moving at the "speed of necessity" to counter threats seen in Ukraine and Iran.   [00:36] Unpacking the Woke Ideology Dr. John Mills provides a scholarly critique of social justice, defining "woke" as a "binary logic" that splits society into oppressors and victims based on identity.   [00:41] Hypocrisy or Integrity? Scott responds to a listener's jab about Donald Trump using mail-in ballots while simultaneously criticizing the system's integrity.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Live from the shores of Devils Lake, Scott Hennen hosts a packed edition of What’s On Your Mind at the Landowners Association of North Dakota annual meeting. The episode explores the decades-long struggle between local farmers and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over land easements, featuring a passionate call to action from Senator Kevin Cramer. The conversation then shifts from the soil to the skies as we preview a major national security announcement at the Grand Forks Air Force Base regarding "Counter Drone" technology. Finally, we look toward the future of the region’s youth with University of North Dakota senior Max Eriksrud, who is organizing a massive faith-based revival at the Chester Fritz Auditorium. From the front lines of property rights to the cutting edge of military tech and spiritual renewal, this episode covers the heart and soul of the 701. Standout Moments [12:69] The Easement War Senator Kevin Cramer pulls no punches while discussing the "gross injustice" landowners face from federal bureaucrats regarding decades-old wetland easements. He explains why he believes the current legal landscape offers farmers their "last best shot" at winning back their property rights.   [13:34] The "Counter Drone" Frontier A deep dive into the Point Defense Battle Lab at Grand Forks Air Force Base. Scott and Kevin discuss the "asymmetric" problem of using million-dollar missiles to take out $500 "suicide drones" and how North Dakota is leading the mission to flip that script.   [14:48] Detecting a Heartbeat from Space In a stunning revelation of modern military capabilities, the team discusses how search-and-rescue teams used specialized technology to locate a downed pilot in the Iranian mountains by literally detecting his heartbeat from the air.   [14:69] The 701 Revival UND senior Maxwell Eriksrud joins the show to discuss "701 Revival," a youth-led movement aiming to bring community and faith back to the center of campus life. He shares his personal journey from an 18-year-old freshman to a student leader on the State Board of Higher Education.   [17:19] Budget Hawks and Right-Sizing Retired Air Force Major Dave Hughes, running for Minnesota’s 7th District, lays out a bold plan to balance the federal budget. His strategy includes abolishing five major U.S. departments—including Energy and Education—to curb the $2 trillion annual deficit.   [18:67] Grains, China, and the Weather David Spickler of Lighthouse Commodities gives a "weather-weather" update, warning North Dakota farmers about a narrow planting…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen returns to the studio after an Easter break in New York City to a world in flux. From the "incredible effort" of the U.S. military in Iran to a massive milestone at home, this episode explores how global security is inextricably linked to North Dakota soil. As President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury nears a critical pivot point with a two-week ceasefire, General Dan Kane joins the program to provide a startling laundry list of the Iranian regime's dismantled capabilities—including 150 ships now sitting at the bottom of the ocean. Back on the home front, the team celebrates the 75th anniversary of the discovery of oil in North Dakota. Industry legends Ron Ness, Kathy Neset, and Lynn Helms join the show to look back at the 1951 Clarence Iverson discovery and explain how "cracking the code" in the Bakken transformed oil from a local resource into a global weapon of peace. Plus, a deep dive into the "glass break" federal budget crisis with David Fisher and a preview of the upcoming Landowner Association battle against "swamp monster" federal easements. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:18] The Epilogue of Epic Fury – General Dan Kane details the decimation of Iran’s military, reporting that 90% of their regular fleet and 80% of their nuclear industrial base have been destroyed in just 38 days. [00:07:35] The $85 Sweet Spot – Ron Ness of the ND Petroleum Council breaks down why oil retailers hate high gas prices and where the "stable" price per barrel needs to settle for the Bakken to thrive. [00:11:45] Bakken 2.0 & Reclaiming the 85% – A technical look at the future of extraction; Ron Ness explains the $145 million effort to supercharge existing wells and recover the massive oil reserves still left in the rock. [00:15:55] From Jersey to the Oil Patch – Kathy Neset, the "Godmother of the Bakken," shares the history of the 1951 discovery and the evolution from vertical wells to 4-mile "U-shaped" horizontal bores. [00:22:15] The Dagwood Sandwich of Geology – Lynn Helms uses a brilliant sandwich analogy to explain core sampling and how North Dakota’s 1% dry-hole rate today compares to the risky "wildcatter" days of the 50s. [00:26:45] The Moral High Ground – White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt shuts down a reporter’s question regarding the President’s rhetoric on "destroying Iranian civilization." [00:30:45] The "Glass Break" Report – David Fisher of Landmark…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-energy Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, guest host Kevin Flynn steps in for Scott Hennen to navigate a world that feels increasingly on edge. The episode features a deep dive into local politics as Michelle Turnburg joins the show to discuss her official announcement to run for Mayor of Fargo. Michelle tackles the "straightforward" needs of the city, from addressing a staggering billion-dollar debt to supporting the new police leadership and cutting through the "propaganda" of modern media. The conversation then shifts from the Red River Valley to the Persian Gulf. Kevin and the team from Turning Point USA analyze the daring rescue of "Dude 44 Bravo," the U.S. weapons officer extracted from Iran on Easter Sunday. The hosts also discuss new DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s blunt interview regarding government funding battles and the security risks of sanctuary city airports. Finally, the show explores the growing concerns over "parallel societies" and Sharia enclaves in the U.S., concluding that while the world is "fed up with the jihad," America remains a docilly welcoming bear—until you poke it. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:04:40] Turnburg for Mayor – Michelle Turnburg breaks down her decision to file for Fargo’s mayoral seat, her 1,400 signatures, and her plan to focus on core city services rather than "wants." [00:05:04] Fargo’s Billion-Dollar Debt – A shocking look at the city’s financial health, with Michelle revealing Fargo is facing between $1.3 and $1.5 billion in debt. [00:11:15] The Red White & Blue Bear – Kevin shares a unique analogy about American patience, describing the U.S. as a welcoming species that responds with "massive teeth and claws" when provoked. [00:15:04] Sharia in Plano? – Congressman Keith Self exposes an alleged "Sharia-adherent enclave" in Texas, where homes are sold exclusively to followers and first responders are reportedly not called for deaths. [00:20:45] The 47-Year War – Kevin argues that the current conflict with Iran isn't a new war, but the final chapter of a cycle of terror that began in 1979. [00:27:13] DHS vs. Sanctuary Cities – New DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin questions whether cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws should be allowed to oversee customs at international airports. [00:32:40] The $100 Million Scam – A breakdown of Minnesota’s "Promise Act" investigation, revealing millions in small business grants being sent to "ghost" companies.

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-stakes Monday edition of What’s On Your Mind, guest hosts from Turning Point USA—Hayden Smith, Tanner Smith, and Titus Queen—fill in for Scott Hennen to break down a historic weekend. The primary focus is the breathtaking search and rescue operation deep inside Iranian territory to recover a downed U.S. F-15E crew member. The team analyzes the logistics of the mission, the CIA’s masterful deception campaign, and the sheer grit of an injured colonel who spent nearly 48 hours evading capture on a 7,000-foot mountain ridge. The episode features full coverage of President Trump’s national address, where he details the rescue and issues a final, blunt ultimatum to the Iranian regime regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Later, former National Security Council official Mark Pfeifle joins the show to provide a firsthand account of his recent two-week stint in Qatar, offering a look at how Gulf allies are navigating life in the crosshairs of a regional war. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:25] 48 Hours Behind Enemy Lines – A breakdown of the F-15E crash on Good Friday and the colonel’s grueling trek up the Zagros Mountains while facing a $60,000 bounty. [00:03:15] The Sand Incident Debated – The hosts clarify conflicting reports on whether the F-15 was downed by enemy fire or a sandstorm, and the high cost of losing support aircraft during the extraction. [00:05:40] Trump’s Final Ultimatum – Discussion of the President’s social media posts setting a hard deadline of Tuesday at 8 PM for Iran to "say uncle." [00:11:45] Professionalism vs. Personality – A debate on Trump’s vulgarity on Easter Sunday versus the effectiveness of his "ruthless" leadership style. [00:16:18] PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS – Full audio of Donald Trump’s press conference detailing the "historic" rescue, featuring input from CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Secretary Pete Hegseth. [00:22:18] "God is Good" – The powerful first message sent by the downed airman upon activating his encrypted transponder from a mountain crevice. [00:31:40] Intercepted Pleas – President Trump claims the U.S. has intercepted messages from Iranian citizens asking the military to "keep bombing" their regime. [00:35:10] Analysis from the Gulf – Mark Pfeifle describes doing 10 hours of live TV daily in Doha, Qatar, while regional sirens blared four to five times a day. [00:39:20] Shaping the Narrative – Pfeifle explains the "Master’s degree" level of communication required to keep NATO allies, U.S. citizens, and enemies in Tehran all hearing the…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this powerful Good Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind, guest hosts Hayden Smith, Olivia Notch, and Tanner Smith from the NDSU Turning Point USA chapter fill in for Scott Hennen to explore the intersection of Christian faith and modern conservative politics. The episode opens with a solemn reading of the crucifixion narrative from the Gospel of John, setting a reflective tone for a deep dive into what it means to lead with a "biblical worldview" in an increasingly fractured society.   The team tackles the controversial landmark hearings on birthright citizenship, arguing for a cultural "melting pot" over a fractured "mosaic" and discussing the strategic implications of foreign "birth tourism". The conversation shifts to the final frontiers of the Artemis II mission via a special interview with UND’s Pablo de Leon, highlighting American exceptionalism in the new space race against China. Finally, the hosts address the tragic news of a downed F-15 over Iran, calling for national unity and guarding against the "satisfaction of being right" when the country faces international struggle.   Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:18] The Meaning of "Good" Friday: Hayden reflects on why the crucifixion is considered "good," describing it as the ultimate act of a Creator giving everything for those who didn't even ask for it.   [00:07:35] The Anxiety of Christ: A humanizing discussion on the fear and nervousness Jesus felt in the garden, providing a model for modern courage in the face of political adversity.   [00:23:45] The Birthright Citizenship Debate: The hosts discuss the 14th Amendment and the "dangerous" statistic that 9% of U.S. births in 2023 were to non-citizens.   [00:27:10] Melting Pot vs. Mosaic: A critique of intersectional politics and the importance of a shared American value system to prevent a nation of "fractured little pieces".   [00:41:20] Fact-Checking the Assassination Inquiry: Tanner clarifies recent "wild" misinformation regarding the bullet fragments in the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation.   [00:46:30] Race to the Lunar Base: UND Space Studies Chair Pablo de Leon details the high stakes of reaching the moon’s helium-3 resources before China.   [01:02:15] Tragedy Over Iran: The hosts respond to a critical caller regarding the downed F-15, emphasizing that military losses do not equate to a lost war or lack of justification.   [01:15:45] Rooting for Failure: A final warning against "vindicative" politics, urging listeners not to hope for American failure just to win the next…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a high-stakes Thursday as the What’s On Your Mind team balances global warfare with local innovation. Kevin Flynn and Scott Hennen dive into President Trump’s blunt address to the nation, where he declared Iran’s navy "gone" and threatened to send the regime back to the "Stone Age" if a deal isn't reached shortly. Closer to home, the Bank of North Dakota makes history with the launch of the "Roughrider Coin," a first-of-its-kind stablecoin designed to modernize the movement of money. We also prep for a massive Easter blizzard that could dump over a foot of snow, talk "puck luck" with Sioux hockey legends ahead of the Frozen Four in Vegas, and get a crash course in the ethics of birthright citizenship and the future of the Artemis space program. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:04:25] Trump’s Ultimatum to Iran Listen to excerpts from President Trump’s address regarding Operation Epic Fury. He details the decimation of Iran’s command and control and warns that while he hasn't hit their oil yet, he’s prepared to "annihilate" their electric grid if negotiations fail. [00:08:40] The Roughrider Coin: Banking 2.0 Don Morgan, President of the Bank of North Dakota, joins to explain the new "Roughrider Coin." Unlike volatile Bitcoin, this stablecoin is a payment mechanism tied to real assets, aiming to bypass slow, clunky 1970s-era "payment rails." [00:15:30] The Birth Tourism Scandal A deep dive into the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship hearing. The team discusses reports of "industrial-scale" birth tourism from China and the legal debate over the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." [00:22:20] 252,000 Miles from Earth Scott Hennen breaks down the breathtaking reality of the Artemis II mission. If you are under 53, this is the first time in your life a human has been more than 250 miles away from Earth. [00:30:15] The Easter "Widowmaker" Forecast Dean Wysocki warns that the upcoming second wave of the storm could dump 14 to 17 inches of snow in Lakes Country, urging holiday travelers to "get their butts out of bed" and leave Friday morning. [00:33:45] Frozen Four: Clash of the Titans Sioux hockey legend Mitch Vig and "The Hockey Guys" preview the historic Frozen Four in Las Vegas, featuring the top four all-time winningest programs in college hockey history in the same bracket for the first time. [00:37:45] Planting Intentions & Urea Prices Market analyst David Spickler discusses the latest USDA reports, revealing…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a wild April Fool’s Day on What’s On Your Mind, as NDSU students Hayden Smith and Titus Queen from Turning Point USA stage a "hostile takeover" while Scott Hennen is away. The duo dives headfirst into the heavy hitters of the day: the Supreme Court’s historic hearing on birthright citizenship and the long-awaited launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission to the far side of the moon. Between dissecting the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause of the 14th Amendment and geeking out over 6.6-million-pound moon crawlers, the team tackles the ethical minefield of AI surveillance and the controversial "disposable bees" industry. Plus, market expert David Fisher joins to discuss "de-dollarization" and why Iran is now explicitly targeting the U.S. Treasury market. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:30] Conflict in Iran: The Home Stretch? The team discusses the "massive fireballs" over Isfahan and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s blunt stance that the U.S. will "negotiate with bombs" until Iran surrenders its missing 440kg of weapons-grade uranium. [00:05:40] The Jack Reacher Analogy Kevin Flynn shares a viral analogy comparing Tom Cruise’s Jack Reacher to President Trump: taking out the "leader" first and leaving the "enthusiastic wingmen" (the IRGC) to realize they’ve already lost the fight. [00:11:30] SCOTUS & The Birthright Stare-Down A deep dive into the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship case. Legal experts analyze whether the 14th Amendment applies to "birth tourism" or was strictly intended for the children of freed slaves. [00:18:25] The Buzz About "Disposable Bees" Ag expert Bridget Riedel introduces lab-grown "Forage Bees"—robotic-assisted pollinators that work for three weeks and die, preventing them from bringing diseases like colony collapse back to the hive. [00:22:15] The USS Hornet Legacy A caller named Mike shares his firsthand account of serving on the recovery vessel for Apollo 11 and 12, recalling the moment President Nixon stepped on board to congratulate the returning astronauts. [00:25:35] De-Dollarization & Bond Stress David Fisher of Landmark Capital warns that the dollar-based system is "quickly unraveling" as yielding treasuries become targets for adversarial nations and yields flash a red alert for a global recession. [00:30:15] The Wind Turbine "Scam" Hayden, a soon-to-be electrical engineer, breaks down why he believes wind turbines are an environmental "scam," citing the unrecyclable fiberglass blades and the massive carbon footprint required to build them.

		<description><![CDATA[It is a packed Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind. Host Scott Hennen is fresh off a trip to Grand Forks for the "State of the Base" address, where he’s joined by Senator Kevin Cramer to discuss a massive win for North Dakota military history: securing a Minuteman III missile for the state's military museum. The duo also dives deep into the "Schumer Shutdown" and the frustrating legislative battle over funding ICE and Border Patrol. Later, we meet the newly selected 16th President of NDSU, Dr. Marshall Stewart. We hear his bold vision for "learners for life" and his goal to supercharge student retention. The episode wraps with a vital "Trooper Talk" segment featuring Captain Brian Niewin of the North Dakota Highway Patrol, discussing the real-world impact of the state's primary seatbelt law and tips for de-winterizing your trailers as spring approaches. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:45] A 60-Foot Legacy Senator Kevin Cramer explains the persistence required to secure a retired Minuteman III missile for the North Dakota Military Museum before the building’s walls were finished, highlighting the state’s massive role in the U.S. nuclear triad. [00:05:50] The Middle East & Gas Price Fatigue Cramer addresses the "war fatigue" regarding Iran, arguing that while short-term pain at the pump is real, "cutting the head off the snake" now is a necessary bargain for long-term global liberty. [00:15:30] Introducing President Marshall Stewart Listen to the first official comments from NDSU’s 16th President. Dr. Stewart discusses his "perfect effort" philosophy and why he views students as customers who deserve an elite experience. [00:19:30] Moving the Needle on Enrollment Dr. Stewart sets a bold target to increase NDSU’s retention rate from 70% to 90%, emphasizing internships, global mindsets, and lifelong learning credentials. [00:21:45] Grand Forks: The Tip of the Spear Senator Scott Meyer and Mayor Brandon Bochenski discuss the "State of the Base," the new Point Defense Battle Lab, and why Grand Forks is the leading ecosystem for counter-unmanned aviation. [00:30:15] D.C. Update with Julie Fedorchak Congresswoman Fedorchak joins from Devil’s Lake to blast House and Senate gridlock, explaining why the House rejected a Senate bill that "completely zeroed out" funding for ICE and Border Patrol. [00:35:40] Vision Zero & Driver Behavior Captain Brian Niewin breaks down why 96% of crashes are preventable and how the drive to reach zero fatalities depends entirely on changing driver behavior, not just engineering better roads.…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Scott Hennen reporting live from the "swamp" in Washington, D.C., Kevin Flynn takes the helm alongside the "future of talk radio"—Hayden Smith and Olivia from Turning Point USA NDSU. This Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind is a high-octane mix of local common sense and global high stakes. The team dives into the "blue flu" sweeping through TSA, the infiltration of "kindergarten cabals" in the GOP, and a sobering look at the real threats facing America today. We also get an exclusive preview of actor Josh Duhamel’s new movie Preschool and a masterclass in parenting from Seattle-based author Stacey Manning. To top it off, Kevin shares a viral warning to those poking the "Red, White, and Blue Bear." Standout Moments [01:05] The "Blue Flu": Hayden breaks down why certain airports are seeing massive delays, alleging that government workers are falsifying illness to protest the Trump administration. [03:41] No Kings, No Clues: Kevin and the students react to the "No Kings" protest at NDSU, questioning the logic of those who claim the President will never leave office. [09:53] Raising Warriors: Author Stacey Manning joins from Seattle to discuss her book, Raising a Conservative in a Woke City, and why she encourages parents to be "a year early rather than five minutes too late." [14:48] Josh Duhamel Returns: The Hollywood star talks about his new film Preschool, his wellness company Gatlin, and why shooting in London was actually cheaper than Malibu. [19:35] "Everybody Toots": Musician Matt Aakre joins the fun to talk about writing a song for Duhamel’s film that is "naughty enough for kids and nauseating for parents." [21:14] The Gatlin Mission: Duhamel gets serious about onshoring pharmaceutical manufacturing to North Dakota to end America's dependence on India and China. [25:57] The Dirty Bomb Scenario: A former military listener provides a terrifying breakdown of how a "dirty bomb" could be built in a standard machine shop and what it means for national security. [27:54] Poking the Bear: Kevin reads his viral open letter to those seeking to dismantle American culture, warning that the "Red, White, and Blue Bear" is about to wake up. [31:02] The Truth About "China Doug": Kevin defends North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum against "globalist" labels, sharing personal stories from their days playing bar trivia in the 90s.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Scott Hennen en route to Washington D.C. to join the White House press pool, the "future of talk radio" takes the reins. Kevin Flynn is joined in-studio by Turning Point USA’s Hayden Smith and Titus Queen for a high-energy look at the culture war, California’s self-inflicted energy crisis, and the bizarre trends taking over modern schools. The episode features an exclusive sit-down with Hollywood star and North Dakota native Josh Duhamel, who discusses his new movie Preschool, his wellness company Gatlin, and his mission to onshore pharmaceutical manufacturing to North Dakota. Later, author Stacey Manning joins from Seattle to provide a survival guide for conservative parents living in "woke" urban hubs. From the mechanics of Transformers to the science of grain markets, this Thursday edition covers it all. Standout Moments [03:41] The Great Outdoors Ban: Kevin and the team react to a stunning proposal out of St. Paul to ban snowmobiles and ATVs on state lands—a move that would cripple Minnesota’s winter tourism. [04:22] Identifying as Animals: Hayden and Kevin share wild stories of "kitty litter boxes" appearing in rural North Dakota and Minnesota schools for students who identify as cats. [09:53] Thriving in the "Blue" Cities: Stacey Manning talks about her book, Raising a Conservative in a Woke City, and why she encourages her son to quit the band rather than wear a "masked trumpet." [13:30] Parenting Through the Rot: A deep dive into why red-state parents shouldn't be complacent about their local school districts. [14:48] Josh Duhamel on "Preschool": The actor discusses directing and starring in his new comedy, explaining why shooting in London was cheaper than his home in Malibu. [19:35] "Everybody Toots": Local musician Matt Aakre joins the call to talk about writing the "disgusting but catchy" music for Duhamel’s film. [20:30] The Gatlin Mission: Duhamel gets serious about his telemedicine company, his use of hormone replacement therapy, and why he wants to build a pharmaceutical plant in North Dakota to cut ties with China. [22:45] Larry David vs. Larry David: Kevin shares a hilarious story about getting repeated wrong-number calls from Josh Duhamel’s father, who shares a name with the Curb Your Enthusiasm creator. [36:05] Live from the Pool: Scott Hennen calls in from D.C. to discuss his exclusive spot in the White House "New Media" pool—one of only six reporters invited to cover the President’s agriculture summit.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen tackles a heavy Wednesday news cycle, challenging listeners to define "evil" in a modern political landscape. From the murder of an innocent girl in Chicago to the "3D chess" being played in the U.S. Senate over the SAVE Act and Homeland Security funding, this episode dives deep into the moral and logistical battles for America’s future. Scott is joined by North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong to discuss a path toward zero property taxes and the future of North Dakota agriculture. Later, Secretary of State Michael Howe explains why school board elections see such pathetic turnouts and whether moving them to November is the answer. Plus, a landmark verdict against social media giants and a weekly check-in on the gold and silver markets with David Fisher. Standout Moments [00:08] Defining Evil: Scott reacts to listener criticism regarding his labeling of certain political actions as "evil," specifically addressing the dismissal of crime victims by sanctuary city leaders. [09:30] 3D Chess in the Senate: A breakdown of the secret deal between GOP leadership and Democrats to fund the TSA while bypassing enforcement restrictions via the "one big beautiful bill." [14:15] The $0.75 Gas Buy-Down: Pastor John Fisher and Gina Koenig discuss a unique community blessing where Journey Church is lowering gas prices for North Fargo neighbors. [25:30] The Governor’s Vision: Kelly Armstrong talks about "onshoring" fertilizer production and his goal to move all primary residential property tax relief into the Legacy Fund. [40:12] Meta’s Guilty Verdict: Breaking news from a Los Angeles court as Google and Meta are found liable for negligence regarding the mental health ramifications of their platforms. [48:45] The "SAVE Act" Mockery: A hilarious clip from Gutfeld! highlights the absurdity of politicians claiming they are "too stupid" to find their own birth certificates. [55:20] Summer Election Fatigue: Secretary of State Michael Howe discusses the "pathetic" 20% turnout in summer primaries and the legislative hurdles to moving local races to November. [74:15] Money, Markets, and Metals: David Fisher explains why central banks are in "chaos mode" and why gold remains in a massive bull market despite global war risks. [106:30] A Miracle in Memphis: Scott shares staggering crime reduction statistics from Stephen Miller that the "fake news" media refuse to report.]]></description>

From the murder of an innocent girl in Chicago to the "3D chess" being played in the U.S. Senate over the SAVE Act and Homeland Security funding, this episode dives deep into the moral and logistical battles for America’s future. Scott is joined by North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong to discuss a path toward zero property taxes and the future of North Dakota agriculture. Later, Secretary of State Michael Howe explains why school board elections see such pathetic turnouts and whether moving them to November is the answer. Plus, a landmark verdict against social media giants and a weekly check-in on the gold and silver markets with David Fisher. Standout Moments [00:08] Defining Evil: Scott reacts to listener criticism regarding his labeling of certain political actions as "evil," specifically addressing the dismissal of crime victims by sanctuary city leaders. [09:30] 3D Chess in the Senate: A breakdown of the secret deal between GOP leadership and Democrats to fund the TSA while bypassing enforcement restrictions via the "one big beautiful bill." [14:15] The $0.75 Gas Buy-Down: Pastor John Fisher and Gina Koenig discuss a unique community blessing where Journey Church is lowering gas prices for North Fargo neighbors. [25:30] The Governor’s Vision: Kelly Armstrong talks about "onshoring" fertilizer production and his goal to move all primary residential property tax relief into the Legacy Fund. [40:12] Meta’s Guilty Verdict: Breaking news from a Los Angeles court as Google and Meta are found liable for negligence regarding the mental health ramifications of their platforms. [48:45] The "SAVE Act" Mockery: A hilarious clip from Gutfeld! highlights the absurdity of politicians claiming they are "too stupid" to find their own birth certificates. [55:20] Summer Election Fatigue: Secretary of State Michael Howe discusses the "pathetic" 20% turnout in summer primaries and the legislative hurdles to moving local races to November. [74:15] Money, Markets, and Metals: David Fisher explains why central banks are in "chaos mode" and why gold remains in a massive bull market despite global war risks.

		<description><![CDATA[In this hard-hitting episode of What’s On Your Mind, hosts navigate the complex landscape of current American foreign and domestic policy. The conversation centers on the "Trump Doctrine" in Iran, where the administration’s aggressive stance is debated alongside former Ambassador Francis Rooney. From the strategic implications of missile threats to the moral arguments of "Just War" theory, the team breaks down what it means to "cut the head off the snake." The dialogue shifts back home to address the tragic human cost of current border policies, highlighted by the senseless murder of a college freshman in Chicago. The hosts also explore the immediate impact of deploying ICE agents to major airports to combat TSA delays and provide a preview of an upcoming event focused on helping parents navigate "woke" culture in modern cities. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00:12] – Cutting the Head off the Snake The hosts discuss the effectiveness of current military excursions in Iran, arguing that the U.S. has successfully decimated the regime's ability to threaten its neighbors while questioning the "rooting for failure" narrative they see in the media. [00:02:40] – The Diego Garcia Missile Test A deep dive into the 4,000-kilometer missile test that landed near a joint U.S.-British base. The team debates the proximity of Iran to obtaining Chinese technology capable of taking out aircraft carriers. [00:03:30] – ICE at the Airport: A Surprising Success While some politicians object to the use of ICE agents at TSA checkpoints, the hosts highlight reports of wait times dropping from five hours to normal levels in just one day, calling it a "brilliant" tactical move. [00:08:35] – The Tragedy of Sheridan Gorman The show takes a somber turn to discuss the murder of an 18-year-old Loyola University freshman in Chicago, allegedly by an illegal immigrant previously released by the administration. The hosts critique Governor Pritzker’s response to the tragedy. [00:09:03] – Parenting in a "Woke" City A preview of an upcoming event at Capstone Classical Academy featuring an author who provides practical tools for parents to lead age-appropriate conversations with their children about gender ideology and indoctrination in schools. [00:13:35] – Ambassador Francis Rooney on "Just War" Former Ambassador to the Holy See Francis Rooney joins the program to debate whether the conflict in Iran meets the criteria of a "Just War." He shares insights on proportionality and the potential for a non-theocratic revolution within the Iranian population.…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a fiery Monday on What’s On Your Mind as Scott Hennen navigates a landscape of defunded agencies and high-stakes brinkmanship. With TSA and Homeland Security facing day 38 of a funding freeze, President Trump has authorized a "brilliant but controversial" move: deploying ICE agents to U.S. airports to keep travel moving. Scott is joined by the "next generation" of conservative leadership—Hayden Smith and Titus Queen from Turning Point USA NDSU—who challenge him on whether his strategy for the SAVE Act is "weak sauce" or a necessary dose of reality. The conversation goes deep into the mechanics of the Senate filibuster, the "face-saving" measures being offered to Democrats, and the visceral rhetoric coming from leaders like Hakeem Jeffries. Later, ag-policy heavyweight Colin Peterson joins to discuss why the current "bailout cycle" is failing American farmers, and former top ICE official Scott Machowski fires back at the "disgusting" claim that ICE agents are "untrained killers." Standout Moments [3538] The Airport Surge: Scott breaks down the decision to deploy ICE to airports as a countermeasure to the Democrats' refusal to fund TSA. [3560] The "Rhino" Intervention: Titus and Hayden from Turning Point USA NDSU put Scott on the hot seat, debating whether the GOP should "die on the hill" of the SAVE Act or pivot to a 50-state strategy. [3616] Rule XIX and the Filibuster: A deep dive into the obscure Senate rules that could theoretically force a "standing filibuster" and how the GOP might wear down the "zealots" on the left. [3891] The Death of Robert Mueller: The team reacts to the passing of the former FBI Director and President Trump’s blunt "I’m glad he’s dead" post on Truth Social. [4012] The State Sponsor of Terror: A heated discussion on Iran, surging gas prices, and why "American resolve" is more important than temporary pain at the pump. [4057] Green Iron vs. Red Iron: A lighthearted debate on the "Apple-like" isolation of John Deere equipment versus Case IH and the culture of precision agriculture. [4354] Peterson’s Prescription: Former Ag Chair Colin Peterson warns that the farming industry is stuck in a "vicious cycle" of government checks that only drive up land rents and input costs. [4549] War Crimes or War Games?: A caller named Tim challenges the studio on Secretary Hegseth’s comments about sinking Iranian warships, leading to a sharp rebuttal about the duty to protect U.S. soldiers.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a high-stakes Friday Town Hall as Scott Hennen and Senator Kevin Cramer tackle a world in transition. The episode bridges the gap between ancient theological conflicts in the Middle East and the futuristic frontiers of blockchain technology. Senator Cramer provides an insider’s update on the "excursion" into Iran, the strategic bottleneck at the Strait of Hormuz, and why the U.S. no longer relies on Middle Eastern oil. Later, the "Crypto Queen" herself, Senator Cynthia Lummis, joins the studio to break down the Clarity Act. She demystifies digital assets for the "fifth grader" in all of us, explaining why Bitcoin is a commodity, how "tokenizing" your home title could prevent fraud, and why she is fighting to protect your digital wallet from government surveillance. From the brutal realities of the Iranian regime to the "green scam" of ESG, this episode is a masterclass in modern defense and digital liberty. Standout Moments [2492] The Dog Days of DC: Scott introduces his sheepadoodle office dog, Finny, leading to a lighthearted moment with Senator Cramer about his own "needy" dog, Barnabas. [2536] The 90/10 Rule in Iran: Senator Cramer explains that while 90% of Iran’s military capability was wiped out in days, the final 10%—and their ballistic missile sophistication—remains a dangerous challenge. [2579] European TDS: Cramer discusses why some U.S. allies are reluctant to help in the Strait of Hormuz, citing "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a barrier to global security cooperation. [2696] Crypto 101: Senator Cynthia Lummis defines the digital economy, explaining the difference between "stablecoins" (digital debit cards) and assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. [2768] Lessons from the Truckers: Senator Lummis cites the Canadian trucker crisis as a warning of why Americans need digital assets to protect themselves from "de-banking" and government surveillance. [2832] The "Old Fuddy-Duddy" Protest: A listener named Fred from Wing calls in to vent about the North Dakota Republican Convention's refusal to take his cash or check, sparking a debate on "pay-to-vote" exclusivity. [2896] The PROVE Act Victory: Senator Cramer celebrates a legislative win against the "woke left" in Europe, mandating a report on carbon intensity to fight back against international carbon taxes. [3411] General Panero on Imminent Threats: Retired Major General Arnold Panero dismisses critics of the Iran conflict, reminding the audience of the 240 Marines killed in Beirut and the horrors of October 7th.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[It’s a high-stakes Friday Town Hall as Scott Hennen and Senator Kevin Cramer tackle a world in transition. The episode bridges the gap between ancient theological conflicts in the Middle East and the futuristic frontiers of blockchain technology. Senator Cramer provides an insider’s update on the "excursion" into Iran, the strategic bottleneck at the Strait of Hormuz, and why the U.S. no longer relies on Middle Eastern oil. Later, the "Crypto Queen" herself, Senator Cynthia Lummis, joins the studio to break down the Clarity Act. She demystifies digital assets for the "fifth grader" in all of us, explaining why Bitcoin is a commodity, how "tokenizing" your home title could prevent fraud, and why she is fighting to protect your digital wallet from government surveillance. From the brutal realities of the Iranian regime to the "green scam" of ESG, this episode is a masterclass in modern defense and digital liberty. Standout Moments [2492] The Dog Days of DC: Scott introduces his sheepadoodle office dog, Finny, leading to a lighthearted moment with Senator Cramer about his own "needy" dog, Barnabas. [2536] The 90/10 Rule in Iran: Senator Cramer explains that while 90% of Iran’s military capability was wiped out in days, the final 10%—and their ballistic missile sophistication—remains a dangerous challenge. [2579] European TDS: Cramer discusses why some U.S. allies are reluctant to help in the Strait of Hormuz, citing "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a barrier to global security cooperation. [2696] Crypto 101: Senator Cynthia Lummis defines the digital economy, explaining the difference between "stablecoins" (digital debit cards) and assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. [2768] Lessons from the Truckers: Senator Lummis cites the Canadian trucker crisis as a warning of why Americans need digital assets to protect themselves from "de-banking" and government surveillance. [2832] The "Old Fuddy-Duddy" Protest: A listener named Fred from Wing calls in to vent about the North Dakota Republican Convention's refusal to take his cash or check, sparking a debate on "pay-to-vote" exclusivity. [2896] The PROVE Act Victory: Senator Cramer celebrates a legislative win against the "woke left" in Europe, mandating a report on carbon intensity to fight back against international carbon taxes. [3411] General Panero on Imminent Threats: Retired Major General Arnold Panero dismisses critics of the Iran conflict, reminding the audience of the 240 Marines killed in Beirut and the horrors of October 7th. [3474] The $10,000 Dotted Line: A trip down memory lane reveals how…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring has officially sprung in the Red River Valley, and host Scott Hennen is feeling the "renewed little spring in his step" as the snow disappears. In this high-energy Thursday edition, we dive into a CNN poll that has the media establishment "flabbergasted" regarding the MAGA movement's staying power. Scott and Kevin Flynn break down the radical divide in how Americans define "greatness" and why the media can't seem to wrap its head around the America First agenda. We also tackle the hard truths of financial literacy and personal responsibility, sparked by Bernie Sanders' latest crusade against Elon Musk. From the "intelligence factories" popping up in North Dakota to a preview of the Outdoor Adventure Foundation’s sold-out gala, this episode balances big-picture politics with the local community heartbeat. Plus, we take a look at the "hypocrisy" of the open border and why some are choosing to live paycheck to paycheck. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:05] — The Great Snow Melt Scott celebrates the "voila" moment as the North Dakota snow vanishes overnight. Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki joins to confirm the spring turnaround and what it means for the region’s mood. [00:04:22] — The "Flabbergasting" CNN Poll The crew deconstructs a new poll showing 100% alignment within the MAGA crowd. Scott asks the tough question: Why is the idea of "Making America Great Again" considered a threat by the left? [00:12:15] — The Definition of "Great" Kevin Flynn weighs in on the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" perspective, explaining how liberals view the MAGA slogan as a step backward rather than a leap forward. [00:18:30] — Intelligence Factories & Data Centers A follow-up on the massive infrastructure projects hitting the region. Scott discusses why North Dakota is the perfect frontier for the AI revolution and "intelligence factories." [00:26:44] — Bernie vs. The Billionaires The team reacts to Bernie Sanders' latest attacks on Elon Musk. Scott delivers a stinging rebuke, noting that those who have never signed the back of a paycheck shouldn't be dictating how others spend theirs. [00:33:10] — The Paycheck "Decision" A deep dive into economic philosophy: Is living paycheck to paycheck a circumstance or a decision? Scott reflects on his own "young and dumb" days and the path to financial freedom. [00:41:55] — Outdoor Adventure Foundation Gala Brian joins the show to plug the 16th Annual Gala at the Hilton Fargo. Though the event is officially sold out, the team…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a high-stakes Wednesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen welcomes "Mr. Wonderful" himself, Kevin O’Leary, for a masterclass on the intersection of global warfare and the bottom line. As "Operation Epic Fury" moves into its third week, O’Leary breaks down why the conflict in Iran is a "necessary correction" for the global economy and why the $110-a-barrel reality is here to stay. From the failure of "green energy boondoggles" to the potential for a regime change that could turn Iran into the next global tech hub, this episode pulls no punches. We also dive into the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, the rising threat of Iranian cyber-attacks on U.S. infrastructure, and a surprising moment of bipartisan sanity from Senator John Fetterman. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:15] — The 60-Year Iranian "Off the Rails" Report Kevin O'Leary gives a historical deep dive into how a society of mathematicians and artists was hijacked by a "brutal regime," and why their funding of global terrorism finally hit a breaking point in the Strait of Hormuz. [00:07:44] — The Mother of All Commodities "Oil is the mother of all commodities." O'Leary mocks the idea of "data centers powered by windmills" and explains why the current conflict has permanently shifted the transition timeline for alternative energy. [00:12:30] — Cyber-Warfare and the DHS Standoff Scott and the team discuss the "absolute insanity" of a 30-day DHS shutdown while Iranian and Chinese state actors ramp up cyber-attacks against U.S. carriers and local infrastructure. [00:15:22] — The $200 Billion Opportunity O'Leary paints a picture of a post-conflict Iran. He argues that if the regime falls, Iran’s educated population and massive oil reserves could create a $200 billion wealth injection into the global economy. [00:24:10] — "Little Crappy Ships" to the Rescue A tactical breakdown of why the Navy's Literal Combat Ships (LCS) are actually the perfect weapon for the "whack-a-mole" mine-clearing missions currently unfolding in the Persian Gulf. [00:33:45] — John Fetterman: The Rare Breed? Scott reacts to Senator John Fetterman’s recent break from his party on border security and DHS funding, calling him a "rare breed" of Democrat who refuses to punish the nation's security for political points. [00:39:15] — Raising Conservatives in a Woke City A preview of the upcoming "Raising a Conservative in a Woke City" event, focusing on how parents can navigate the current cultural landscape in local school districts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen tackles a heavy-hitting Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, weaving together personal liberty, high-stakes global economics, and a viral local controversy. We take an in-depth look at the shocking case of Angela Lipps, the Tennessee woman who spent five months in a North Dakota jail due to an erroneous AI facial recognition match. Fargo Police Chief Dave Zabulski joins the show to provide a defensive timeline of the investigation, followed by Adam Martin of F5 Project, who shares the incredible story of meeting Angela upon her Christmas Eve release and driving her halfway across the country. In the first half, retired attorney and substitute teacher Craig Ritchie sounds the alarm on what he calls "Christian hostile zones" within the Fargo Public School system, detailing how he was fired for a history lesson on leadership. Plus, "Mr. Wonderful" himself, Kevin O'Leary, breaks down why the current conflict in Iran has permanently shattered the "boondoggle" of alternative energy subsidies, proving once and for all that oil remains the mother of all commodities. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:44] — The "Christian Hostile Zone" Craig Ritchie describes the "panicky" reaction of a Davies High School administrator after Ritchie told a history class that Jesus Christ was historically the world's greatest leader. Ritchie argues that public schools are increasingly suppressing the constitutional rights of faith-based educators. [00:09:47] — The Process vs. The Person: Chief Zabulski Speaks In a rare detailed interview, Fargo Police Chief Dave Zabulski breaks down the procedural steps—from AI investigative leads to judge-signed warrants—that led to the five-month incarceration of Angela Lipps. He addresses the "gaps in communication" between the jail and the police department. [00:14:10] — Kevin O’Leary: The Death of the Energy Boondoggle Kevin O'Leary joins Scott to discuss the economic fallout of the Iran "excursion." He explains how a single global crisis sent oil from $56 to over $110, effectively ending the narrative that wind and solar can replace hydrocarbons in the near future. [00:23:44] — The 16-Hour Christmas Ride Adam Martin (F5 Project) recounts getting a call on Christmas Eve about a woman wrongfully incarcerated with nowhere to go. He details the 16-hour round trip to Chicago to reunite Angela Lipps with her family after the system failed her.

In the first half, retired attorney and substitute teacher Craig Ritchie sounds the alarm on what he calls "Christian hostile zones" within the Fargo Public School system, detailing how he was fired for a history lesson on leadership. Plus, "Mr. Wonderful" himself, Kevin O'Leary, breaks down why the current conflict in Iran has permanently shattered the "boondoggle" of alternative energy subsidies, proving once and for all that oil remains the mother of all commodities. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:44] — The "Christian Hostile Zone" Craig Ritchie describes the "panicky" reaction of a Davies High School administrator after Ritchie told a history class that Jesus Christ was historically the world's greatest leader. Ritchie argues that public schools are increasingly suppressing the constitutional rights of faith-based educators. [00:09:47] — The Process vs. The Person: Chief Zabulski Speaks In a rare detailed interview, Fargo Police Chief Dave Zabulski breaks down the procedural steps—from AI investigative leads to judge-signed warrants—that led to the five-month incarceration of Angela Lipps. He addresses the "gaps in communication" between the jail and the police department. [00:14:10] — Kevin O’Leary: The Death of the Energy Boondoggle Kevin O'Leary joins Scott to discuss the economic fallout of the Iran "excursion." He explains how a single global crisis sent oil from $56 to over $110, effectively ending the narrative that wind and solar can replace hydrocarbons in the near future. [00:23:44] — The 16-Hour Christmas Ride Adam Martin (F5 Project) recounts getting a call on Christmas Eve about a woman wrongfully incarcerated with nowhere to go. He details the 16-hour round trip to Chicago to reunite Angela Lipps with her family after the system failed her.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen kicks off a packed Monday edition of What’s On Your Mind with a look at a rapidly changing North Dakota. From the construction of massive "intelligence factories" in Harwood to the heartbreaking announcement that Minot’s iconic Norsk Høstfest is coming to an end, this episode explores the intersection of technology, tradition, and policy. We sit down with Wes Cummins, CEO of Applied Digital, to discuss how North Dakota is becoming a global player in the AI infrastructure race. John Hinderaker from the Center of the American Experiment joins us to break down a shocking new poll that reveals how Minnesotans actually feel about immigration enforcement. We also take a trip down memory lane with David Reiten to honor the 45-year legacy of the Norsk Høstfest and discuss what happens to a community when it loses touch with its roots. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:50] — The "Metro Surge" Polling Shock John Hinderaker reveals surprising data from a recent Minnesota poll showing that 81% of residents support the deportation of illegal immigrants with criminal records—a sharp contrast to the rhetoric coming from state leadership. [00:08:15] — President Trump on the Strait of Hormuz Excerpts from a White House press conference where President Trump details the destruction of Iranian mine-laying ships and issues a call for global allies to help secure international shipping lanes. [00:09:45] — Inside the "Intelligence Factories" Wes Cummins, CEO of Applied Digital, provides a progress report on the Harwood data center. He explains why North Dakota is "born on third base" for the AI revolution due to its energy resources and business-friendly climate. [00:12:45] — The Power Rate Debate Wes Cummins addresses concerns about data centers driving up electricity costs, explaining how long-term contracts and infrastructure investments can actually stabilize the grid for local ratepayers. [00:23:05] — Defending the Filibuster Scott engages with a "scorched earth" caller, using a math-based defense of Senate Majority Leader John Thune and explaining the long-term dangers of blowing up the filibuster. [00:28:40] — The Demise of Norsk Høstfest David Reiten, son of Høstfest founder Chet Reiten, shares the moving history of the festival. He discusses how rising entertainment costs and the "Big Boys" of the industry led to the end of the second happiest place on earth.

		<description><![CDATA[In a high-octane "Friday Free-for-All," Scott Hennen flips the script, handing the keys of the talk radio town hall over to the listeners. With Senator Kevin Cramer away, the people take the mic to sound off on everything from the escalating conflict in Iran to the "sea of stupidity" in Minnesota politics. We dive into a shocking travesty of justice involving AI facial recognition in Fargo, hear firsthand accounts from the "Blizzard of the Century" in 1966, and discuss the "firewall" protecting Minnesota taxpayers with Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth. Plus, we explore the long-circuitous history of Fargo’s hunt for a convention center and hear from a combat veteran on why the current military "excursion" is a necessary evil. It's a raw, patriotic, and community-driven hour of conversation that covers the heartland from Williston to the Twin Cities. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:14] — The 24/7 "Patriot" Hotline Scott incentivizes the "People’s Town Hall" by giving away $500 in prizes—ranging from steaks in Minot to gas cards—to listeners who leave their unfiltered questions for North Dakota’s top politicians. [00:07:44] — The KC-135 Tragedy A somber moment as Scott reflects on the loss of six service members following a tanker crash during a combat mission, reminding listeners of the true cost of the current conflict. [00:09:47] — AI vs. Justice: The Angela Lips Story Scott breaks down a "travesty of justice" where a Tennessee woman spent five months in a North Dakota jail after being misidentified by AI facial recognition for a crime committed while she was 1,200 miles away. [00:13:03] — The "Minnesota Firewall" with Lisa Demuth Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth joins the show to discuss stopping "non-starter" bills, including a proposal to quintuple car tab fees and a $40 million rental assistance plan for illegal immigrants. [00:15:35] — The "Savage" Blizzard of 1966 A trip down memory lane as listeners call in with chilling accounts of the 1966 storm that buried trains and saw 20-foot snowdrifts, serving as a subtle reminder that current weather "could be much worse." [00:19:40] — Fargo’s Convention Center RFP Charlie Johnson, former head of the CVB, discusses the four potential sites narrowed down for Fargo’s new convention center and why the city has been missing out on regional business for over a decade.

The hosts dive deep into the strategic victory in Iran, where U.S. forces have reportedly decimated the Iranian Navy and Air Force, while domestic politics heat up over the "Save America Act" and the future of the Senate filibuster. The show features a powerful interview with Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate and retired Navy SEAL Adam Schwarze, who provides a masterclass on "no-fail missions" and why neutralizing the world's top sponsor of terror is a generational win. Later, the duo honors the 123rd anniversary of North Dakota legend Lawrence Welk, explores a revolutionary motion sickness program at UND, and talks "no-nonsense" oil markets with Ron Ness. Plus, a heartwarming story of a Vietnam vet laying a wreath at Arlington and a look at why Tim Walz's new "fraud hunting" proposal is a few years too late. Standout Moments [00:01:55] – The Filibuster Crossroads Senator Kevin Cramer joins the show to react to Senator Cornyn’s shift on Senate rules. Cramer argues that while the Save America Act is vital, "the filibuster is more important than any one issue" to protect the representation of small states like North Dakota.   [00:11:40] – The Category 2 "Hooey" Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki warns of a dynamic storm system with central pressure equivalent to a Cat-2 hurricane. He issues a blizzard warning for the Northern Valley and travel advisories for anyone heading north of Highway 200.   [00:22:25] – A SEAL’s Perspective on Iran U.S. Senate candidate Adam Schwarze, a retired Navy SEAL officer, explains the "no-fail" nature of operations against nuclear-armed adversaries. He notes that the U.S. essentially "canceled the number one world sponsor of terrorism in about two days".   [00:30:15] – The Lawrence Welk Tribute The hosts "stop the world" to celebrate Strasburg, North Dakota’s most famous son. They air a tribute from WABC in New York City, proving that the "Champagne Music" legend’s legacy still resonates from the heartland to the Big Apple.   [00:43:10] – Oil Markets: Price Makers vs. Price Takers Petroleum Council President Ron Ness tackles the "brief spike" in oil prices.

		<description><![CDATA[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. Standout Moments [00:05:40] – The 10% War Listener Lloyd calls in with the receipts, explaining that the U.S. has achieved massive strategic objectives—including shutting down 56% of China-bound oil and wiping out the Russian drone supply chain—using only 10% of its military assets. [00:12:15] – Trump’s White House Masterclass The hosts air live clips of President Trump schooling reporters on the tarmac. Trump details the total destruction of the Iranian Navy and Air Force, while Scott marveled at the President's "A-game" compared to his predecessor's "yipper" style. [00:22:10] – June 11th, 1969: The Overrun Vietnam Veteran Ross Johnson shares a harrowing, "soul-filling" account of surviving an artillery battery overrun, describing the intense hand-to-hand combat and the smell of war that led him to his upcoming honor at Arlington National Cemetery. [00:30:15] – Defending John Thune Scott enters the "lion's den" to defend Senate Leader John Thune, arguing that Thune isn't a "traitor" but a "cat herder" dealing with a 60-vote requirement and egos like Rand Paul. He warns that nuking the filibuster is a grenade that Democrats will eventually throw back. [00:32:50] – The "Orange Man Bad" Legislature Minnesota Representative Walter Hudson details how state Democrats are blocking a $1,700 tax credit for school donations simply because it originated from Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill," hurting students to score political points. [00:44:40] – The UND Motion Sickness Cure Jennifer Watney from the UND School of Aerospace Sciences explains her internationally recognized three-day simulator…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen kicks off a fiery Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind with a deep dive into the escalating conflict in Iran and the "raw hate" displayed by the Democratic leadership toward the U.S. military and law enforcement. The hosts examine the fallout of the DHS shutdown, where TSA agents are working without pay because, as Scott argues, "Democrats hate ICE more than they care about national security." The conversation takes a hard look at domestic threats following the Gracie Mansion bomb plot, featuring a debate on the "suicidal empathy" of the West and a powerful segment from Greg Gutfeld on "America-phobia." On the lighter side, the duo explores a groundbreaking motion sickness program at UND and meets three incredible veterans vying for a life-changing "Salute to Smiles" makeover. The show concludes with a "museum-worthy" example of Trump Derangement Syndrome: an unhinged, profanity-laced rant from James Carville. Standout Moments [00:05:40] – The Gas Price "Lemmings" Scott debunks the regime media's panic over oil prices, noting that crude has already dropped back to $85. He challenges the "genius opinion writers" who blame the Iran conflict for gas prices that remain nearly $2 cheaper than the Biden-era high. [00:23:45] – Lloyd’s Military Fact-Check Lloyd, a listener on the road, calls in with a masterclass in modern warfare, pointing out that the U.S. is currently achieving massive strategic wins—including destroying 56% of China-bound oil and the Russian drone supply chain—using only 10% of its military assets. [00:44:40] – Conquering Motion Sickness at UND Jennifer Watney from the University of North Dakota School of Aerospace Sciences explains her internationally recognized three-day simulator course that helps everyone from student pilots to grandparents overcome debilitating motion sickness. [00:52:10] – Gutfeld: Suicidal Empathy The team reacts to a viral Greg Gutfeld segment discussing the lack of assimilation in the West and why the media seems to cover for terrorists under the guise of "tolerance." [01:08:40] – The Hakeem Jeffries "Polling Site" Slip Scott analyzes Hakeem Jeffries' podcast comments, where the Democratic leader specifically demanded that ICE be barred from monitoring polling sites, raising major red flags about non-citizen voting. [01:21:20] – Salute to Smiles: Three Heroes Meet the finalists for the Dakota Implant makeover: Travis Perdue, a 23-year veteran who survived a "widow maker" heart attack; a Marine father of 13; and Justin Wallace, a Master Sergeant who flies global drone missions.

		<description><![CDATA[In this intense and wide-ranging Monday edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn tackle a weekend dominated by shifting oil prices and the ongoing conflict with Iran. Scott breaks down his latest column, honoring the North Dakota and Minnesota service members killed by Iranian-backed weapons over the last four decades, arguing that the U.S. is finally finishing a 47-year-old war. The tone shifts from the geopolitical to the celebratory as Moorhead Spuds head hockey coach John Ammerman joins the show to discuss his team's legendary double-overtime comeback to secure back-to-back state titles. Later, wellness entrepreneur Vince Wepker stops by for a lighthearted "Imus-style" hour of banter on Vikings free agency, the best movies of all time, and the "Superman" feeling of a daily sauna routine. Plus, Mike Lindell joins the program to announce a massive 75-city "marketing-style" rally tour in his bid for the Minnesota Governor's seat. Standout Moments [00:05:40] – The Gas Price Debate Scott fires back at local columnists criticizing Trump for a recent spike in gas prices. He highlights that despite the 10-day conflict with Iran, national averages remain significantly lower than the Biden-era peaks of $5.02. [00:16:10] – Hyperbaric Medicine & The Chinese ER Paul Watts from Swanson Hyperbarics joins the show to explain why the U.S. is behind Russia and China in using oxygen therapy to treat inflammation and concussions, noting that "you can't patent oxygen." [00:21:40] – The Moorhead Miracle Spuds Coach John Ammerman recaps the emotional state championship win, revealing that many "bandwagoners" actually turned off the TV when the team was down 4-1 before their historic rally. [00:30:15] – Mike Lindell’s 75-Rally Tour Candidate Mike Lindell announces a nonstop campaign schedule across Minnesota, aiming to engage the 250,000 "Trump voters" who stayed home in 2022. He frames the election as a battle of "biblical proportions." [00:34:00] – The Gracie Mansion Bomb Plot Analysis of the thwarted ISIS-inspired terror attack in New York City. Scott critiques the media’s relative silence on the perpetrator’s motives and the "heightened threat environment" currently facing the U.S. [00:37:30] – A Father-Son Hockey Moment The hosts discuss a viral interview with Warroad Warrior Ryan Chagabay hugging his father on the bench, highlighting the massive sacrifices made by hockey parents to reach the state stage.

		<description><![CDATA[In this jam-packed Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn are joined by North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer for a deep dive into the nation’s most pressing issues. From the shifting economic landscape and the "moment" of AI-driven productivity to the geopolitical "chess match" involving Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the trio explores what a return to American energy dominance looks like. The conversation turns local as Fargo School Board member Allie Ohlenberger joins the studio to discuss the fight for transparency in public education, the repeal of controversial gender policies, and the "palpable change" in teacher morale under new leadership. Plus, the hosts tackle a "conspiracy theory" caller who claims the war in Iran is fake, a heartwarming community effort to support unpaid TSA workers at Hector Airport, and an elegant pivot to culture with a preview of the FM Opera’s Three Tenors Tribute. Standout Moments [00:02:10] – The AI Employment Shift Senator Cramer analyzes the loss of 92,000 jobs in February, suggesting we are in a transitional "bridge" where AI is supercharging productivity even as traditional roles shift. [00:05:40] – Saving Social Security In a rare moment of political candor, Cramer discusses "honest" fixes for Social Security, including raising the age for younger workers and lifting the income tax cap. [00:08:40] – The Exit of Kristi Noem The Senator reacts to Kristi Noem’s departure from DHS, defending her border record while acknowledging the "bad judgment" of a $220 million ad campaign that didn't please the President. [00:11:30] – The "Modern-Day Haman" A caller draws a biblical parallel between the current conflict in Iran and the story of Haman, leading Cramer to discuss the necessity of an "unconditional surrender" from the current regime. [00:16:10] – Cleaning Up Fargo Schools School Board member Allie Ohlenberger details her successful motion to repeal "woke" guiding principles and explains how the district moved on from a "dictator" superintendent to a humble, North Dakota-grown leader. [00:23:10] – Legalized Propaganda? A listener raises concerns about the 2014 NDAA and the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, sparking a debate on how government-sanctioned messaging has eroded journalistic integrity. [00:29:40] – The "Fake War" Confrontation A regular listener calls in with a fiery conspiracy theory, calling the war in Iran a "Hollywood fake" designed to pump oil prices, leading to a heated exchange over Trump’s energy policies. [00:40:10] – Gas Cards for TSA The Fargo Gateway Lions…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A high-velocity news day hits the heartland as host Scott Hannon breaks down a historic shift in the Trump Cabinet and the continued dismantling of threats in the Middle East. As Operation Epic Fury crosses the 100-hour mark, we are seeing a "new footing" in American strength, but the headlines are being stolen by the sudden firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. From the "4D chess" moves of the 47th President to a deep dive into military forensics with Major General Michael Haugen, this episode explores the cost of war, the surge of patriotism, and the "national divorce" playing out in Congressional hearings. Plus, we look at why corn is taking the driver's seat in the commodity markets and how "nanny state" ordinances in Fargo are targeting everything from nicotine to Big League Chew. Standout Moments [00:02:15] The History of a 47-Year War Major General (Ret.) Michael Haugen joins the show for a masterclass in military history, tracing the current conflict back to Jimmy Carter’s 1979 regime change and explaining how forensics prove Iran’s direct hand in killing American soldiers for decades. [00:10:45] The Hector Airport "Toddy" Debate A dissertation on freedom: Should adults be allowed to take a cocktail from the airport bar to their boarding gate? The crew debates Fargo’s "nanny state" tendencies and the ridiculous proposed ban on bubble gum cigars. [00:16:30] The Obama Redistricting Blitz The 44th President resurfaces with a coordinated media strike on "fair elections." Scott deconstructs the irony of Democrats complaining about gerrymandering while advocating for census changes that include non-citizens. [00:21:45] Breaking News: Kristi Noem Out, Markwayne Mullin In The bombshell announcement of the day. We discuss the "straw that broke the camel's back"—a $200 million ad campaign—and why the MMA-fighting Senator from Oklahoma is the "new sheriff" the border needs. [00:36:10] The "National Divorce" Hearing Disgusting or deserved? A breakdown of the brutal Congressional hearing where Kristi Noem was grilled on everything from special advisors to "Coast Guard blankies" before her dismissal. [00:48:20] Corn vs. Soybeans: The Geopolitical Hedge Lighthouse Commodities' David Spickler explains why the chaos in the Strait of Hormuz is throwing the fertilizer market into a tailspin and why corn is set for a massive move higher this spring.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Operation Epic Fury enters its 106th hour, the landscape of the Middle East—and the global energy market—is being rewritten in real-time. Today, we break down the breathtaking military progress in Iran, where ballistic missile capabilities have been decimated by 86% in just four days. We also dive into the massive fraud scandal rocking Minnesota and ask the tough question: Could it happen in North Dakota? From the "4D Chess" being played by Secretary Doug Burgum in Venezuela to a "masterclass" on how to talk to your kids about the reality of war, this episode covers the high-stakes intersection of geopolitics, local accountability, and American strength. Standout Moments [00:05:45] The "Mother of All Nightmares" for Auditors North Dakota State Auditor Josh Gallion joins the studio to discuss the multi-billion dollar fraud in Minnesota. He reveals how a "citizen journalist with an iPhone" blew the lid off a scandal that state agencies had ignored for seven years. [00:14:30] Operation Epic Fury: 103-Hour Update General Dan Cain, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, provides a detailed briefing on the dismantling of the Iranian Navy and the transition from "standoff" munitions to precision "stand-in" strikes directly over Iranian territory. [00:21:15] Oil, Shale, and the $8 Blip Ron Ness of the ND Petroleum Council explains why the strike on Iran didn't send gas prices to $300 a barrel. The "North Dakota code-crack" on shale has changed the rules of economic warfare, leaving America holding all the chips. [00:39:10] "May He Rest in Pieces" Senator John Kennedy delivers his trademark wit on Hannity, discussing the death of the Ayatollah and why "political will" is the most lethal weapon in President Trump’s arsenal. [00:46:20] First-Hand from Jerusalem Author Sal Litvig reports from the ground in Israel, describing the "synchronicity" between the U.S. and Israeli Air Forces and the surreal resilience of families playing board games in bomb shelters. [01:02:15] Talking War to the Next Gen Dr. Carol Lieberman, "America’s Psychiatrist," offers a guide for parents on how to explain terrorism and global conflict to children without causing trauma, using the "playground bully" analogy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this explosive Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen takes listeners inside the Oval Office and the front lines of a rapidly shifting global landscape. As Operation Epic Fury enters its fourth day, President Donald Trump delivers a fireside briefing alongside the German Chancellor, detailing the decimation of Iran’s military infrastructure and the "colossal threat" that was narrowly averted. The episode pulls back the curtain on the "4-D chess" being played—from choking off oil supplies to China and Russia to the high-tech logistics of drone warfare being developed right in North Dakota. With expert analysis from Grand Sky’s Tom Sawyer on the future of air defense and Senator John Hoeven on the legislative battle for the SAVE Act, this show breaks down why the "yapping chihuahuas" in the mainstream media are missing the forest for the trees. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:28] – Fireside in the Oval Office President Trump addresses the media, explaining that Israel didn't force his hand—he may have forced theirs. He details the "stunning level of evil" that led Iran to strike neutral countries and civilian hotels before their air protections were obliterated.   [00:08:16] – The $4 Million Missile Problem Tom Sawyer, CEO of Grand Sky, joins the show to discuss the logistical nightmare of "asymmetric warfare." He explains the unsustainable cost of using $4 million missiles to shoot down $25,000 mass-produced Iranian drones and how Grand Forks is becoming the epicenter for a solution.   [00:14:58] – Choking the Octopus Global security expert Michael Letts breaks down the strategic "checkmate" against China. By liberating Venezuela and striking Iran, the U.S. has effectively choked off China’s primary oil reserves, forcing a global economic realignment.   [00:20:29] – The 118-Year Game A deep-dive analysis into the "British financial architecture" in the Middle East.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[In this explosive Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen takes listeners inside the Oval Office and the front lines of a rapidly shifting global landscape. As Operation Epic Fury enters its fourth day, President Donald Trump delivers a fireside briefing alongside the German Chancellor, detailing the decimation of Iran’s military infrastructure and the "colossal threat" that was narrowly averted. The episode pulls back the curtain on the "4-D chess" being played—from choking off oil supplies to China and Russia to the high-tech logistics of drone warfare being developed right in North Dakota. With expert analysis from Grand Sky’s Tom Sawyer on the future of air defense and Senator John Hoeven on the legislative battle for the SAVE Act, this show breaks down why the "yapping chihuahuas" in the mainstream media are missing the forest for the trees. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:28] – Fireside in the Oval Office President Trump addresses the media, explaining that Israel didn't force his hand—he may have forced theirs. He details the "stunning level of evil" that led Iran to strike neutral countries and civilian hotels before their air protections were obliterated.   [00:08:16] – The $4 Million Missile Problem Tom Sawyer, CEO of Grand Sky, joins the show to discuss the logistical nightmare of "asymmetric warfare." He explains the unsustainable cost of using $4 million missiles to shoot down $25,000 mass-produced Iranian drones and how Grand Forks is becoming the epicenter for a solution.   [00:14:58] – Choking the Octopus Global security expert Michael Letts breaks down the strategic "checkmate" against China. By liberating Venezuela and striking Iran, the U.S. has effectively choked off China’s primary oil reserves, forcing a global economic realignment.   [00:20:29] – The 118-Year Game A deep-dive analysis into the "British financial architecture" in the Middle East.

		<description><![CDATA[In this emotionally charged and historic episode of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen breaks down the monumental U.S. and Israeli military response to 47 years of Iranian aggression. Following the launch of Operation Epic Fury, Scott explores the decisive leadership of President Donald Trump and the sheer precision of the Joint Forces in "finishing a war they didn't start." The show features a powerful mix of military expertise and personal testimony, including a perspective-shifting interview with "Raheel," a Persian woman living in the U.S. who provides a raw look at what the Iranian people have endured under a "death cult" regime. From the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in Congress to the joy of Iranians celebrating in the streets of Los Angeles and New York, this episode tackles the necessity of peace through strength and the heavy price of freedom. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:00] – Retribution After 47 Years Secretary of War Pete Hegseth delivers a historic briefing, tracing Iranian-backed violence from the Beirut car bombs to Iraq's roadside IEDs, declaring that under President Trump, America is finally finishing the fight. [00:04:32] – The Trucker’s Global Perspective "Lloyd," an 18-wheeler driver, weighs in with a common-sense take on the economic "island" Trump is creating for China by cutting off Iranian and Venezuelan oil trade. [00:08:24] – A Commander’s Burden "Will," a Navy veteran from the first Gulf War, reflects on the character of the warfighter and the difference between "cutting and running" in Afghanistan versus the "speed, surprise, and violence of action" currently on display. [00:13:40] – The "Gang of Eight" and War Powers A deep dive into the political maneuvers in D.C., discussing why the highly classified nature of the strike was essential for operational security despite the "pearl-clutching" from the Democratic Party. [00:18:14] – The Weight of the Uniform In a heart-wrenching call, "Bill," a former unit leader who lost 17 of his 31 men in combat, shares his emotional reaction to the President's resolve to "complete the mission" without looking back. [00:27:01] – Voices from the Ground Raheel, a green card holder from Iran, explains that the Iranian people "begged for this rescue mission" and details the 1979 revolution’s long-term trauma on a society thirsting for normalcy and secularism. [00:32:00] – 10% Loyalty A revealing look at the Iranian power structure, as Raheel estimates that only about 10% of the population actually supports the Revolutionary Guard—primarily…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a high-stakes Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen is joined by Senator Kevin Cramer for a "Talk Radio Town Hall" to unpack a momentous week in American politics. From the "epic" State of the Union to the shifting geopolitical sands in Iran and Cuba, the conversation moves fast. We also dive into our deep-dive question of the week: How and why did America become so divided? Between the political firestorms, the show takes a heartfelt turn with a special "Salute to Smiles" for veterans and a community rallying cry for a local boy in need of a miracle. Standout Moments [00:01] The SOTU Victory Lap Senator Cramer reflects on what he calls the "most epic" State of the Union in history, highlighting the emotional impact of the World War II veterans and the Ukrainian families in attendance. He argues that the GOP has finally moved from playing defense to a sustained "Trump effect" offense. [04:26] The Regime Change Debate A listener from South Dakota challenges the Senator on the "supposed necessity" of regime change in Iran. Cramer differentiates between US-led coups of the past and the current yearning for freedom within the Iranian populace. [08:11] The "Trump Homes" Initiative Crystal in Bismarck asks about a new "rent-to-own" concept for single-family homes. Senator Cramer reveals he had lunch in the West Wing just yesterday to discuss prohibiting hedge funds from buying up local real estate and driving out the "real people." [11:15] The Big Question: Why are we so divided? The phones light up as listeners weigh in on the roots of national division. Theories range from the "rules for radicals" and mainstream media corruption to the pivotal shift in racial politics during the 2008 election. [17:39] RFK Jr. on the "Actual" Donald Trump Scott plays a surprising clip of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. describing the "opposite of the caricature" of Trump—detailing a man who is an "encyclopedia" of detail and a master of the uses of power. [22:21] A Standing Ovation for Border Laws In a "blind test," Scott plays a speech about aggressively securing borders and deporting criminal aliens. He reveals it wasn't Trump—it was Bill Clinton in 1995. The team discusses why the same policy is now labeled "racist" depending on who says it.

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen is back in the studio after a whirlwind week in D.C. and Arizona, and he’s diving straight into the deep end of the national conversation. From the "childish antics" of the State of the Union counter-protests to the high-stakes "War on Fraud" being waged by J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz, this episode pulls no punches. We explore the massive Medicaid funding pause hitting Minnesota, the "spiritual battle" behind America’s growing division, and the urgent deadlines facing farmers for crop insurance. Plus, a special look at the "profound" wisdom of listeners who weigh in on why the country feels more split than ever. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03] – The "Swamp" Recap & Giraffe Man Scott reacts to the State of the Union aftermath, specifically the bizarre counter-protests featuring "frog suits" and "giraffe outfits." He questions where the "adults in the room" are within the modern Democratic Party. [00:20] – The War on Fraud: Target Minnesota A deep dive into the announcement by J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding from Minnesota. Scott explains the "fraud tourism" and blatant grift affecting Medicaid and medical device claims. [00:34] – The Transgender Task Force Debate Scott tackles the cultural divide head-on, discussing the push for gender affirmation in schools and sports. He argues for a return to "basic truth" and natural facts, calling the current trajectory "indoctrination." [00:51] – Why Are We So Divided? (Part 1) The phone lines explode as listeners answer the question of the day. From the death of self-control to the influence of Saul Alinsky’s "Rules for Radicals," the audience offers a masterclass in political and cultural analysis. [01:05] – Lt. Gov. Candidate Ryan Wilson on the Grift Ryan Wilson joins the show to explain the specific abuses in Minnesota’s welfare programs. He discusses how fraudsters are reportedly paying moms to falsely claim their children have autism to trigger state payments. [01:21] – The "Christian Nationalism" Conflict A listener call regarding CNN’s documentary on Christian Nationalism sparks a discussion about the media's role in desensitizing the public to faith and patriotism. [01:34] – NDSU’s "Safe Zone" Pledges Scott uncovers a tip regarding North Dakota State University’s "Safe Zone" training, which reportedly urges faculty to sign an LGBTQ ally pledge, sparking a debate on taxpayer-funded indoctrination.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen is back in the studio after a whirlwind week in D.C. and Arizona, and he’s diving straight into the deep end of the national conversation. From the "childish antics" of the State of the Union counter-protests to the high-stakes "War on Fraud" being waged by J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz, this episode pulls no punches. We explore the massive Medicaid funding pause hitting Minnesota, the "spiritual battle" behind America’s growing division, and the urgent deadlines facing farmers for crop insurance. Plus, a special look at the "profound" wisdom of listeners who weigh in on why the country feels more split than ever. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03] – The "Swamp" Recap & Giraffe Man Scott reacts to the State of the Union aftermath, specifically the bizarre counter-protests featuring "frog suits" and "giraffe outfits." He questions where the "adults in the room" are within the modern Democratic Party. [00:20] – The War on Fraud: Target Minnesota A deep dive into the announcement by J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding from Minnesota. Scott explains the "fraud tourism" and blatant grift affecting Medicaid and medical device claims. [00:34] – The Transgender Task Force Debate Scott tackles the cultural divide head-on, discussing the push for gender affirmation in schools and sports. He argues for a return to "basic truth" and natural facts, calling the current trajectory "indoctrination." [00:51] – Why Are We So Divided? (Part 1) The phone lines explode as listeners answer the question of the day. From the death of self-control to the influence of Saul Alinsky’s "Rules for Radicals," the audience offers a masterclass in political and cultural analysis. [01:05] – Lt. Gov. Candidate Ryan Wilson on the Grift Ryan Wilson joins the show to explain the specific abuses in Minnesota’s welfare programs. He discusses how fraudsters are reportedly paying moms to falsely claim their children have autism to trigger state payments. [01:21] – The "Christian Nationalism" Conflict A listener call regarding CNN’s documentary on Christian Nationalism sparks a discussion about the media's role in desensitizing the public to faith and patriotism.

		<description><![CDATA[Coming to you from the heart of the White House press pool, Scott Hennen delivers an exclusive look at the fallout from the 47th President’s landmark State of the Union address. This episode features high-stakes conversations with the leaders shaping America’s "Golden Age," including Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and HUD Secretary Scott Turner. We dive deep into the "triumph against all odds," exploring how 15 new trade deals are finally putting American farmers back at the center of the plate. From the "soybean showdown" in the Oval Office to a radical new ban on corporate home-buying, the team breaks down the policies aiming to restore the American Dream for the "heartbeat of the country." Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01] – The "Triumph Against All Odds" Secretary Brooke Rollins joins Scott to recap the "consequential" first year of the administration. They discuss the "Golden Age" rhetoric of the State of the Union and why the President’s leadership on trade and border security marks a historic turning point. [00:12] – The Hamilton Strategy: Tariffs & Soybeans A deep dive into the "Alexander Hamilton" approach to trade. Rollins breaks down how tariffs are rebuilding the American base, resulting in a 20% jump in dairy exports and a 29% surge in corn, while silencing critics who said the strategy would "ruin America." [00:25] – The Oval Office Soybean Obsession Rollins jokes that soybeans have never been discussed more in the history of the White House. She provides a "report card" on the 25 million metric tons committed by China and why the Supreme Court tariff decision won't slow down the momentum. [00:53] – Ending the "Band-Aid" Era of Farming A candid conversation about the mental health crisis and debt cycles in the row crop business. Rollins outlines her mission to move away from "check after check" and instead build an infrastructure where farmers can actually thrive without government reliance. [01:00] – The 45Z Biofuel Countdown Clarity is coming! Rollins hints at a "very positive" outcome for the 45Z tax credit and biofuels, noting that final details should emerge within the next 30 days thanks to a "top of government" collaboration with Doug Burgum and Lee Zeldin. [01:12] – Trump’s "Olive Branch" to Governors Rollins shares a behind-the-scenes story from a private White House meeting with governors—including Democrats like Kathy Hochul. She reveals a side of the President the "mainstream media won't report," where…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from the heart of the U.S. Capitol, Scott Hennen takes listeners behind the scenes of his "horrific" travel journey to Washington D.C., where he is attending the State of the Union address as the special guest of Senator Kevin Cramer. The episode serves as a victory lap for American excellence, centered on the historic Olympic gold medal win by the U.S. Men’s Hockey team. Scott and Kevin Flynn dissect the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" fueling media backlash against the athletes, contrast the "sanctuary business" culture in Moorhead with North Dakota's gratitude-focused entrepreneurs, and preview critical shifts in farm tax policy. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00] – The "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" Trek Scott recounts a travel nightmare involving canceled flights, an unplanned overnight in Dallas, and arriving in D.C. without his luggage. He jokes about being "buck naked" in Senator Cramer’s office before finding a suit for the big night. [00:15] – The 46-Year Wait: USA Hockey Gold The crew celebrates the "Miracle on Ice" 2.0. Scott details the deep connection between Team USA and Warroad, Minnesota—"Hockey Town USA"—noting that a Warroad native has been on every gold-medal-winning U.S. roster since 1960. [00:28] – Politics in the Gallery Scott critiques Senator Amy Klobuchar’s choice of a State of the Union guest—a Moorhead brewery owner who reportedly "hates ice." He contrasts this with his own invite and the news that President Trump has invited the entire Men’s Olympic Hockey team. [00:35] – Triggered by Patriotism A deep dive into the media backlash surrounding the hockey team's celebration. Scott mocks the Huffington Post for being "triggered" by American flags and chanting, while Kevin highlights the "legendary" resilience of Jack Hughes, who played through losing multiple teeth. [00:48] – The Women’s Hockey "Rebuff" Myth Scott sets the record straight on why the U.S. Women’s Hockey team isn't attending the White House visit, debunking rumors of a political snub and explaining the logistical and scheduling hurdles the athletes faced. [00:58] – Gratitude vs. Grievance Scott introduces Kristin Choren, owner of Bismarck’s Gratitude Spa and Salon and guest of Congresswoman Julie Fedorchuk. They discuss the importance of supporting local business owners who represent North Dakota values on the national stage. [01:05] – Farmer’s Fair Deal & 45Z Tax Policy A pivot to policy: Pat Rosensteil joins to discuss the 45Z tax credit.

		<description><![CDATA[With Scott Hennen on a mysterious mission to D.C., Kevin Flynn teams up with Hayden Smith and Olivia Notch from Turning Point USA for a high-energy Monday edition of What’s On Your Mind. The crew celebrates a historic "Miracle on Ice" 2.0 as Team USA clinches Olympic gold, but the conversation quickly shifts to the kitchen table issues hitting North Dakotans. From the "hidden tax" of skyrocketing gas prices and the local impact of the Trump tariffs to a candid look at Marxist influence in North Dakota universities, this episode bridges the gap between international headlines and local reality. Plus, we hear from listeners on why the "good old days" of non-political classrooms might be gone forever. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03] – Where in the World is Scott Hennen? Kevin reveals that Scott is currently navigating the South and heading toward D.C., leaving the keys to the studio to the TPUSA team. The crew discusses the "A-Team" at Petro Serve USA and why gas prices are the topic on everyone's lips. [00:15] – The 46-Year Wait is Over A deep dive into the U.S. Men’s Hockey gold medal victory. Kevin and Hayden discuss the electric atmosphere of the overtime win against Canada and why this victory feels like a spiritual successor to the 1980 "Miracle on Ice." [00:27] – The "Snowy-cane" Hits the East Coast While North Dakota enjoys a reprieve, the East Coast is buried under two feet of snow. The team reacts to the bizarre news that Boston shovelers now need two forms of ID to work, sparking a debate on government overreach and common sense. [00:45] – Tariffs, Gas, and Your Wallet The conversation turns to the Supreme Court's ruling on the Trump tariffs. Kevin and Olivia break down why gas prices have spiked 40 to 60 cents in a single week and what "energy independence" actually looks like for the average commuter. [01:12] – The $39 Trillion Elephant in the Room Hayden tackles the national debt crisis, discussing the sustainability of American spending and the cultural shift toward "instant gratification" that has led to record-high credit card debt among Gen Z.

Kevin reveals that Scott is currently navigating the South and heading toward D.C., leaving the keys to the studio to the TPUSA team. The crew discusses the "A-Team" at Petro Serve USA and why gas prices are the topic on everyone's lips. [00:15] – The 46-Year Wait is Over A deep dive into the U.S. Men’s Hockey gold medal victory. Kevin and Hayden discuss the electric atmosphere of the overtime win against Canada and why this victory feels like a spiritual successor to the 1980 "Miracle on Ice." [00:27] – The "Snowy-cane" Hits the East Coast While North Dakota enjoys a reprieve, the East Coast is buried under two feet of snow. The team reacts to the bizarre news that Boston shovelers now need two forms of ID to work, sparking a debate on government overreach and common sense. [00:45] – Tariffs, Gas, and Your Wallet The conversation turns to the Supreme Court's ruling on the Trump tariffs. Kevin and Olivia break down why gas prices have spiked 40 to 60 cents in a single week and what "energy independence" actually looks like for the average commuter. [01:12] – The $39 Trillion Elephant in the Room Hayden tackles the national debt crisis, discussing the sustainability of American spending and the cultural shift toward "instant gratification" that has led to record-high credit card debt among Gen Z. [01:35] – The Death of the Neutral Professor A powerful call from a listener in Lake Park triggers a discussion about the "Marxist creep" in local education. Hayden and Olivia share their firsthand experiences with left-wing bias at NDSU and why the days of…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this guest-hosted episode of What's On Your Mind, NDSU Turning Point USA leaders Hayden Smith and Titus Queen, alongside field representative Olivia Notch, take the mic to discuss the "silent killers" of modern American life. From the pervasive rise of online sports gambling and the crushing weight of credit card debt to the myths surrounding college degrees, the team explores the economic and cultural traps facing young people today. However, it’s not all "Debbie Downer" talk—the crew also dives into positive trends, including record-breaking deportation statistics, a surge in religious interest among Gen Z, and why the "house always wins" in the rigged world of digital parlays. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00] – A Prayer for Wisdom The guest hosts kick off their first time behind the mic with a moment of prayer, asking for humility, repentance for the nation, and the wisdom to reflect truth during their broadcast. [00:18] – The $157 Billion "Silent Killer" Hayden introduces the concept of society’s silent killers, starting with the explosive growth of online gambling. The team reveals a staggering statistic: Americans lost $157 billion on sports betting last year—50% more than the entire national budget for the SNAP program. [00:54] – The "Juice" is Rigged Titus breaks down the mechanics of online gambling, explaining how digital platforms make money harder to conceptualize than physical cash. They discuss "the juice," explaining how five-leg parlays can have a 25% house edge that essentially guarantees the gambler loses in the long run. [01:03] – Living Paycheck to Paycheck by Choice? A deep dive into a report stating that while 34% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, only 25% actually need to for necessities. Olivia discusses the "lifestyle issue" fueled by social media, where young women are influenced to spend recklessly to project a high-life image they can't afford. [01:14] – The Debt Trap & "Loan Shark" Banks The hosts tackle the $39 trillion national debt and the personal credit card crisis. They debate whether banks have become modern-day loan sharks and discuss President Trump’s proposal to cap interest rates at 15%. [01:33] – Feminism and the Birth Rate The conversation shifts to the "relationship scene." Titus argues that rising feminism is turning young men away from marriage due to the fear of "losing half," while Olivia points out that statistics show families and children are the greatest indicators of long-term happiness for women.

		<description><![CDATA[In this "working vacation" edition of What’s On Your Mind, guest host Kevin Flynn checks in live from the Valley of the Sun in Phoenix, Arizona. While the North Country grapples with a brutal "Widowmaker" winter storm and jackknifed semis, Kevin is poolside with "Hot Tub Vinny" (Vince Webker) of Hot Spring Spas and Pool Tables 2. The episode explores the stark contrast between the booming Southwest and the "hemorrhaging" populations of California, Minnesota, and New York. Kevin shares personal stories from his road trip through Las Vegas and San Diego, noting the consistent trend of former West Coasters fleeing high taxes for the zero-tax havens of Nevada and Texas. The duo also dives deep into the science of wellness—from why a quality hot tub is a "no-brainer" for the North Dakota climate to the life-extending benefits of a daily sauna session. Plus, a look at the staggering real estate shifts in Manhattan and an upcoming push at UND to solve rural nursing shortages. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:00] The California Escape Kevin recounts his trip through Las Vegas and San Diego, where every person he met at a local dog park had the same story: they had "escaped" California to avoid the crushing taxes, fees, and rising crime that have transformed the state over the last 20 years. [00:04:15] The Zillow Metric: Manhattan’s 100% Surge A shocking look at the New York real estate market. Kevin reveals that in just two weeks, the number of properties for sale in Manhattan has more than doubled, featuring a record-breaking $128 million condo as the "rich people" flee potential new tax hikes. [00:05:50] Hot Tub Vinny on Wellness Reality Vince Webker explains that people don't buy hot tubs for backyard decor; they buy them for physical, mental, and relational wellness. He discusses the 49-year history of his company and why Hot Spring Spas remain the world leader. [00:06:50] The "Cut-In-Half" Comparison A "no-brainer" moment for North Dakotans: Kevin describes seeing a hot tub cut in half at a home show, revealing the critical difference in insulation and fittings that allow certain brands to survive the brutal Northern winters while others freeze up. [00:09:05] The Sauna as a "D-flammatory" Device Vince breaks down the staggering health data from Finland, noting that sitting in a sauna 4–7 times a week can reduce heart attack risk by 50% and Alzheimer’s risk by 66% by acting…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen broadcasts live from the "little engine that could"—beautiful Otter Tail, Minnesota. This episode bridges the gap between small-town innovation and high-stakes national policy. Scott sits down with "Borders Czar" Tom Homan for an exclusive update on the drawdown in Minneapolis, the investigation into George Soros-funded NGOs, and the legal fallout of the recent sanctuary city clashes. The local spotlight shines on young entrepreneurs Alex and Tyler Rupp, who are revitalizing Otter Tail with a privately funded nonprofit daycare and wellness model, and "Minnesota’s Elon Musk," Kenny Nelson, who reveals his latest venture: manufacturing luxury electric vehicles right in town. Finally, financial experts David Fisher and Kurt Zellers break down the "Rubicon" of national debt and the competitive battle for business between Minnesota and North Dakota. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:00] The Minneapolis Drawdown Borders Czar Tom Homan provides the latest "lay of the land" in Minneapolis. He confirms the federal footprint is shrinking as local cooperation improves but notes that mobile response units and fraud investigators are staying behind until the job is done. [00:10:45] Follow the Money: NGOs and Riots Homan reveals that the DHS and FBI are "following the money" regarding sophisticated signal enterprises and NGOs. He discusses congressional testimony suggesting millions from George Soros and other groups are being used to mobilize anti-ICE activity. [00:20:15] Daycare Pods: A New Private Model Alex and Tyler Rupp discuss their mortgage-free, nonprofit childcare units. By bypassing government funding and relying on private donations, they’ve created an affordable "pod" system that empowers providers and supports local families. [00:29:30] The Elon Musk of Minnesota Legendary entrepreneur Kenny Nelson (Tuffy’s Pet Food, Wiley Wallaby) discusses his new company, ULV (Ultimate Luxury Vehicle). At 84, Nelson is launching a line of $60,000 carbon-fiber electric carts manufactured in Otter Tail. [00:36:20] Crossing the Rubicon of Debt Landmark Gold’s David Fisher explains why the U.S. has hit a terrifying milestone: interest payments on the national debt have now surpassed the national defense budget, reaching nearly $1 trillion annually. [00:41:10] The Border between Twins Former Minnesota Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers previews the Midwest Economic Summit. He questions why it takes a year longer to build a facility on the Minnesota side of the Red River Valley compared to the North Dakota side.

Finally, financial experts David Fisher and Kurt Zellers break down the "Rubicon" of national debt and the competitive battle for business between Minnesota and North Dakota. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:00] The Minneapolis Drawdown Borders Czar Tom Homan provides the latest "lay of the land" in Minneapolis. He confirms the federal footprint is shrinking as local cooperation improves but notes that mobile response units and fraud investigators are staying behind until the job is done. [00:10:45] Follow the Money: NGOs and Riots Homan reveals that the DHS and FBI are "following the money" regarding sophisticated signal enterprises and NGOs. He discusses congressional testimony suggesting millions from George Soros and other groups are being used to mobilize anti-ICE activity. [00:20:15] Daycare Pods: A New Private Model Alex and Tyler Rupp discuss their mortgage-free, nonprofit childcare units. By bypassing government funding and relying on private donations, they’ve created an affordable "pod" system that empowers providers and supports local families. [00:29:30] The Elon Musk of Minnesota Legendary entrepreneur Kenny Nelson (Tuffy’s Pet Food, Wiley Wallaby) discusses his new company, ULV (Ultimate Luxury Vehicle). At 84, Nelson is launching a line of $60,000 carbon-fiber electric carts manufactured in Otter Tail. [00:36:20] Crossing the Rubicon of Debt Landmark Gold’s David Fisher explains why the U.S. has hit a terrifying milestone: interest payments on the national debt have now surpassed the national defense budget, reaching nearly $1 trillion annually. [00:41:10] The Border between Twins Former Minnesota Speaker of the House Kurt Zellers previews the Midwest Economic Summit. He questions why it takes a year longer to build a facility on the Minnesota side of the Red River Valley compared to the North Dakota side.

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen takes the show on the road to Vision Ford Lincoln in Wahpeton, North Dakota, for a jam-packed Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind. The episode kicks off with a wild guest—Jojo the Brazilian three-banded armadillo—as Kathy Dickman from Chahinkapa Zoo discusses conservation and why Wahpeton’s zoo is a world-class hidden gem. The conversation then turns serious as Scott welcomes historian Clay Jenkinson for a civil but spirited debate on ICE, constitutional norms, and the current political climate in Minneapolis. Scott also sits down with Robert Schuller to tell the incredible 30-year success story of Giant Snacks, a Wahpeton-born brand that now feeds Major League Baseball dugouts nationwide. Finally, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak joins for a Talk Radio Town Hall, and financial expert Brien Krank breaks down why the markets are thriving despite—or because of—new tariff policies. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:10] Jojo the Armadillo Steals the Show Kathy Dickman introduces the audience to Jojo, a three-banded armadillo from Brazil. Scott attempts to feed her dried mealworms while learning why armadillos are actually swifter than they look and how they live up to 50 years in captivity. [00:10:45] Seeking Signal in the Noise with Clay Jenkinson Historian Clay Jenkinson joins Scott for a rare long-form conversation where two friends agree to disagree. Clay presents a 7-point list of common ground on immigration and the 2024 election, while challenging Scott on the "erosion of constitutional norms." [00:19:15] The Murder vs. Law Enforcement Debate The temperature rises as Scott and Clay spar over recent events in Minneapolis. They debate the actions of ICE agents, the use of masks by federal officers, and whether the tragic deaths in the sanctuary city were the result of "murder" or a "justified use of force." [00:21:40] Giant Snacks: From Wahpeton to the Big Leagues Robert Schuller shares the origin story of Giant Snacks. He explains how a North Dakota guy at the Minnesota Twins gave them their first big break 20 years ago, leading to their seeds being chewed in 27 out of 30 MLB dugouts today. [00:25:30] Town Hall with Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak Congresswoman Fedorchak addresses listener concerns regarding the SAVE Act. She debunks claims that voter ID laws disenfranchise women or people of color and explains how the "One Big Beautiful Bill" is delivering tax relief to North Dakotans.

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-energy President's Day broadcast, Scott Hennen takes the show on the road to "The Hive" in Grand Forks, North Dakota—a burgeoning tech accelerator at the heart of America’s UAS and space revolution. The episode explores how North Dakota is transforming into a national security powerhouse, featuring deep dives into counter-drone technology, quantum computing, and the state's growing "Space Valley" ecosystem. Beyond the tech, Scott honors the holiday by reflecting on the leadership of George Washington and modern-day impacts of the presidency. The program also features a final, staggering tally from Giving Hearts Day and an inspiring "Salute to Service" highlighting how local Lions Clubs are saving the vision of North Dakota’s children. It’s an episode that bridges the gap between the founding of a nation and its high-tech future. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:05:15] Countering the Bad Actors Tom Sawyer, president of Grand Sky, breaks down the massive shift in military focus toward "Counter UAS." He explains how North Dakota is leading the charge in detecting and tracking the "bad drones" that threaten domestic infrastructure and high-profile events like the Super Bowl. [00:09:11] What is Quantum, Anyway? Tony Belzano of Q-Station attempts to explain quantum computing to the non-technologist. The discussion covers how "extreme computing" will allow drones to prioritize 40 simultaneous threats in a nanosecond—a capability that is both exciting and terrifying. [00:15:30] The Modern vs. Founding President Scott Hennen shares his personal reflections on President's Day, naming Donald Trump the most impactful president of his lifetime while offering a moving tribute to George Washington’s decision to "stop serving" and return to his vine and fig tree. [00:26:25] Radios Where Verizon Won’t Go Cody Larson of Persistent Systems, a Park River native, showcases the MPU-5 radio technology. He explains how these "mobile ad hoc networks" provide life-saving communication redundancy for nuclear deterrence missions and hurricane rescue efforts. [00:30:15] Following the Dark Money A startling segment featuring congressional testimony from Josh Hawley’s hearing reveals that over $60 million in "shadow money" from NGO networks has been funneled into coordinated protest and riot activity in Minnesota. [00:31:45] $31 Million for Giving Hearts Pat Traynor of the Dakota Medical Foundation joins for the final Giving Hearts Day recap. He reveals that 40,000 donors generated over 70,000 donations, hitting a massive milestone of $228 million raised since the event's inception in 2008.

		<description><![CDATA[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. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:07] – The Iran Credibility Gap Senator Kevin Cramer discusses the moral and strategic dilemma in Iran, noting that while the U.S. has the power to take out the regime's assets, the ultimate goal is supporting the Iranian people's own desire for regime change. +2 [00:03:35] – Reputation of Strength Cramer reflects on President Trump’s earned reputation as a leader who takes a backseat to no one, arguing that the world is watching to see if there is a price to pay for doing wrong by America. [00:07:49] – Fact-Checking the "Gulag" Rhetoric Scott takes aim at local columnists and "Trump derangement syndrome," debunking claims that ICE is randomly "house-to-house killing" people and throwing them into gulags. +1 [00:11:13] – The Government Shutdown Myth Senator Cramer clarifies that despite media sensationalism, DHS and the Coast Guard are not shutting down, as they are essential services with ample funding. +2 [00:15:52] – Melania: The Movie Review A "number one fan" calls in to review the Melania Trump movie, praising the First Lady’s "Jackie O class" and noting a specific transition scene involving Joe Biden and a bag of trash. +2 [00:22:21] – Live from Fort Bragg The show dips into live coverage of President Trump and Melania speaking to energized troops in North Carolina, celebrating the restoration of the "Fort Bragg" name. +2 [00:29:43] – History Lesson: Democrats and Slavery A listener provides a historical breakdown of the Confederacy, reminding the audience that the Southern Democrats were the architects of slavery and the Confederacy. +2 [00:32:05] – Mike Lindell: 100% All In…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Live from the 19th annual Giving Hearts Day headquarters, host Scott Hennen captures the electric energy of the region's most impactful 24-hour fundraising event. This episode is a marathon of human kindness, featuring over $22 million in real-time donations and deep-dive interviews with the visionaries behind the movement. Beyond the record-breaking numbers, we hear the "why" behind local icons like Farm Rescue, Hope Blooms, and the Ann Carlson Center. The conversation takes a poignant turn as Scott speaks with two Persian guests regarding the current uprising in Iran, the search for freedom, and the harrowing realities facing their families back home. From local scholarship programs for kids to international human rights, this episode explores what happens when a community decides to "go all in" for the greater good. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00:15] – The 18 Million Dollar Start Scott opens the show in a whirlwind, watching the donation counter jump $100,000 in mere seconds as the day kicks off with massive momentum. [00:01:16] – 19 Years of Vision Pat Traynor, the "Grand Poobah" of Giving Hearts Day, reflects on the event’s humble beginnings in 2008 and how it evolved from a $500,000 day into a $30M+ phenomenon. [00:05:20] – Flowers with a Mission Kelly Krenzel of Hope Blooms shares the beautiful logistics of repurposing wedding and funeral flowers to combat loneliness among seniors, proving that "you matter" is a message best delivered in petals. [00:09:31] – Burying the Unclaimed A moving segment with the Fargo Memorial Honor Guard on their mission to provide proper military burials for "unclaimed" veterans who have no living family to see them off. [00:16:15] – Voices from Iran In a sobering shift, two Persian residents share firsthand accounts of the uprising in Iran, discussing the risks their families face and the "massacre" occurring behind a digital curtain. [00:23:30] – Military Strategy & Global Freedom General Mike Haugen joins the desk to discuss the geopolitical stakes in the Middle East and the moral case for supporting freedom fighters abroad. [00:25:52] – Spreading Sunshine Addy and Ava explain how they are removing physical barriers for children with disabilities, including a "no-hands cupcake challenge" to spur donations. [00:26:56] – The 85-Year Legacy The Ann Carlson Center leadership explains how they’ve bridged the gap for families of children with special needs since 1941, now serving 3,000 kids annually.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen returns with a heavy, fast-moving Tuesday edition that shifts from a glowing review of the new Melania movie to the grim reality of local and national tragedies. The episode centers on two disturbing disappearances: the high-profile kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie’s mother and a heartbreaking local murder investigation in Fargo that has authorities searching landfills and rural properties for human remains. Between the true crime updates, Scott sits down for a civil but intense discussion with local activists whose "Red Hat" protest—inspired by WWII Norwegian resistance—has sparked a firestorm of debate in the Red River Valley. Plus, we meet a YouTube-famous student farmer, look at the future of real estate education at UND, and learn why the El Paso airport just went into a 10-day lockdown. Episode Highlights [00:01:10] Melania: The Movie Review Scott shares his impressions of the private screening of Melania. Whether you're a fan or a critic, Scott argues the film offers a powerful glimpse into the First Lady’s life and her successful career before meeting Donald Trump. [00:10:00] The Red Hat Resistance In a standout moment of civil discourse, Scott is joined by Cheryl Rosted and Ivan Thompson. They explain why they wear red hats to protest ICE and the Trump administration, while Scott challenges their comparisons to Nazi-occupied Norway. [00:26:45] The "Stolen Land" Debate The team reacts to student-led ICE protests at Davies High School. Scott sounds off on the "scary" reality of students getting news from social media and the controversial narrative regarding indigenous land. [00:32:15] The Search for Isadora Wengel A somber update on the disappearance of 25-year-old Isadora Wengel. Authorities have arrested her boyfriend for murder and are now asking the public to look for a specific 27-gallon black tote with a red lid. [00:44:10] The Franson Department of Real Estate Interim Dean Patrick O’Neill joins to discuss a historic naming at the University of North Dakota. Thanks to a legacy gift from Bob Franson, UND is launching a specialized program to train the next generation of property developers. [00:52:15] Money, Markets, and Metals Landmark Gold’s David Fisher breaks down why gold is up 18% year-to-date and what China’s "digital yuan" surge means for the future of the U.S. dollar.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a monumental Tuesday as the NDSU Bison officially punch their ticket to the FBS. Host Scott Hennen is joined by athletic director Matt Larson and interim president Rick Berg to break down the "muscle car" transition to the Mountain West, the $17 million move, and why your tailgating experience is about to get a major upgrade. But the headlines don't stop at the goal line. We go behind the scenes of the most talked-about Super Bowl commercial with a fourth-generation North Dakota barley farmer who shared the screen with the Clydesdales. Plus, we tackle the fiery debate over the SAVE Act, the "bigotry of low expectations" in voting laws, and an inspiring look at a local homeschool robotics team that is out-coding the competition. From political absurdity to high-tech student innovation, this episode covers the full spectrum of the Red River Valley and beyond. Episode Highlights [00:01:10] The Bison Leap to the Mountain West NDSU Athletic Director Matt Larson and Interim President Rick Berg discuss the whirlwind 72 hours that made the FBS move official. They address the "zero state funding" budget and why new opponents like Wyoming and New Mexico State will reignite the Fargo Dome. [00:08:11] The Franson Department of Real Estate UND Interim Dean Patrick O’Neill announces a historic naming for the Nistler College of Business. Discover how one alum is helping shape the next generation of land barons and real estate developers in Grand Forks. [00:12:15] From the Soil to the Super Bowl An exclusive interview with Brian Franson, the Coal Harbor farmer featured in the iconic Budweiser "American Icons" commercial. He shares what it was like to take the North Dakota family legacy to a global stage. [00:16:45] The Bigotry of Low Expectations Scott sounds off on Chuck Schumer’s opposition to the SAVE Act. The team breaks down why requiring an ID to vote is common sense and responds to claims that it disenfranchises minority communities. [00:24:15] Building Homes, Changing Lives Habitat for Humanity’s Pete Christopher joins to discuss their Giving Hearts Day goal of $250,000. Learn how "sweat equity" is helping local factory and office workers achieve the dream of homeownership.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen returns from a Super Bowl week in San Francisco with a jam-packed Monday edition. The energy is electric as the team reacts to a "pinch-yourself" moment in North Dakota sports history: NDSU is officially making the jump to the FBS and joining the Mountain West Conference. Scott and Steve Hallstrom break down the financial "counting of noses," the potential for road trips to Hawaii and Vegas, and the end of legendary local rivalries. But that’s not the only massive infrastructure shift. Fargo Airport Authority Chair Paula Ekman joins the show to give an exclusive sneak peek at the brand-new terminal expansion opening tomorrow. From "immersive reality rooms" for travelers to heated jetways and upgraded amenities, Fargo’s "front porch" is getting a major facelift. Plus, we celebrate the upcoming Giving Hearts Day by highlighting local warriors in education and community support. Episode Highlights [00:01:43] Super Bowl Redux and the Halftime Great Divide Scott reflects on the high-production Turning Point USA "Alternative Halftime Show" and why Kid Rock’s faith-based performance resonated more than the official NFL broadcast. [00:10:53] Bison Moving On Up Special analysis on NDSU’s move to the Mountain West. Steve Hallstrom weighs the $17 million entry fee against the need to "rejuvenate the fan base" after years of FCS dominance. [00:14:14] The Legacy Children’s Foundation Dr. Mary Jean Dean shares the grassroots story of starting a foundation at her kitchen table and how it now empowers hundreds of Fargo-Moorhead youth through leadership and accountability. [00:17:38] Churches United: Solving Homelessness with Hope Elvin Brooks discusses the "miracle" of moving the organization from debt to a savings account and their audacious $1 million goal for this year's Giving Hearts Day. [00:22:11] Inside Fargo’s New Airport Terminal Paula Ekman walks us through the high-tech amenities opening tomorrow, including a pet relief room, sensory-friendly spaces for travelers, and floor-to-ceiling runways views. [00:32:45] St. Monica’s Montessori & School Choice Brian Wilburn talks about the power of hands-on learning and why parents are increasingly seeking educational options that focus on "the whole child."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcast live from a quaint spot in Tiburon overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, Scott Hennen brings the energy of Super Bowl week to the airwaves. This episode is a masterclass in bridging the gap between North Dakota common sense and Silicon Valley innovation. Scott explores how the "ecosystem" of the Bay Area—built on solving problems and embracing failure—could be the key to unlocking North Dakota’s potential as the "Silicon Valley of the Midwest." The show features a heavy-hitting lineup, including Senator Kevin Cramer, who addresses the heated "Town Hall" questions on everything from VA backlogs and DHS funding to the classy influence of Melania Trump. Later, NFL Hall of Famer Phil Hanson joins to talk Bison pride, the chaos of the transfer portal, and the "journeyman" magic of Sam Darnold. Whether you're here for the "Radio Graffiti" rants or the high-level investment talk, this episode captures the "art of the possible" from North Dakota to San Francisco. Episode Highlights [00:03:00] The "Town Hall" with Senator Kevin Cramer Senator Cramer weighs in on the political theater surrounding the DHS funding bill and responds to criticisms from former Senator Kent Conrad. He also discusses the "quiet confidence" of Melania Trump and her influence on the President. [00:06:45] Appropriation Battles and Rand Paul A deep dive into the practical side of D.C. politics. Cramer explains why he voted for certain appropriations bills and the nuances of working with "DOGE" cuts while maintaining the President's signature tax policies. [00:09:00] Veteran Affairs: Benefit of the Doubt? A powerful exchange with a local veteran leads to a discussion on cutting VA backlogs, reducing administrative bureaucracy, and the potential for non-traditional treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. [00:17:00] Bison on the Big Stage: Phil Hanson Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Phil Hanson breaks down why he’s rooting for a "Seattle slant" this Super Bowl. He praises the rookie success of Gray Zabel and the grit of the Bison offensive line in the NFL. [00:19:00] The NIL and Transfer Portal "Mess" Hanson and Hennen get real about the "college free agency" landscape. They discuss the impact of agents on locker room dynamics and why the "genie is out of the bottle" for the future of college football.

		<description><![CDATA[In this live broadcast from the North Dakota Corn and Soybean Expo, host Scott Hennin dives deep into the high-stakes world of agricultural policy and international trade. With the ink barely dry on new Treasury Department guidelines for the 45Z tax credit, industry leaders and economists break down what this means for local ethanol plants, soybean crushing facilities, and the pocketbooks of family farmers. The episode balances technical policy discussions with a boots-on-the-ground look at the "patriotic" struggles of farmers navigating trade wars with China and rising input costs. From the potential of sustainable aviation fuel to the "Super Bowl" of agricultural demand, this episode is a comprehensive look at the economic engines driving rural America in 2026. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:00] – Live from the Expo: Scott sets the stage at the Butler Arena, highlighting the intersection of tax policy and small-town economic engines. [00:09:00] – The 45Z Buzz: Breaking news on the tax code extension through 2029 and why it’s "instrumental" for the value-added agricultural world. [00:28:00] – The China Factor: Steve Senske, CEO of the American Soybean Association, discusses the reality of exporting 25% of the total U.S. soybean crop to a single customer. [00:48:00] – De-weaponizing Demand: A strategic look at how expanding domestic crushing plants can reduce U.S. dependence on Chinese trade. [01:11:00] – The Economist’s View: Krista Swanson of the National Corn Growers discusses why 2026 is the fourth year in a row facing a "cost of production" crisis. [01:59:00] – Maritime & Aviation: Exploring the "800-pound gorilla" opportunities for corn and soy in the shipping and airline industries. [02:44:00] – Trade Mission Panama: A Richland County farmer discusses the global push for E10 and E15 ethanol blends. [03:50:00] – The India "What If": Why India represents the biggest untapped game-changer for American soy exports.

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from the O’Leary Ventures boardroom at The Hive in Grand Forks, Scott Hennen hosts a wide-ranging Town Hall. U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer joins the program from Washington D.C. to pull back the curtain on the "negotiation fest" surrounding the government shutdown and why Democrats may have trapped themselves by targeting DHS funding. The dialogue shifts to a fiery but civil debate with North Dakota State Senator Tim Mathern regarding federal overreach and the "Minnesota Contagion." Later, we explore the cutting edge of history and technology with an update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library’s realistic AI hologram and a sit-down with military vet turned tech entrepreneur JC Van Leer on the future of "one-way" drone defense. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:03] The DHS "Horrible Box" Senator Kevin Cramer explains why Democrats' decision to target ICE and DHS funding in the appropriations battle is a "special kind of stupid," as a shutdown would primarily impact Democratic priorities like FEMA and TSA. [00:15:34] The 10th Amendment Debate State Senator Tim Mathern argues that federal ICE actions in Minnesota constitute a violation of states' rights, comparing the federal overreach to the central governments of China and Russia. [00:19:33] "Macro vs. Micro" Ethics A tense exchange occurs as Senator Mathern suggests individuals have a "right to resist arrest," while Scott and Kevin challenge the morality of interfering with law enforcement. [00:23:40] The Don Lemon Arrest The crew reacts to the breaking news of Don Lemon’s arrest at a Minneapolis church for allegedly violating the FACE Act, debating the media's role in local unrest. [00:26:34] Talking Back to TR Matt Briney reveals that the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will feature a realistic, AI-driven hologram of TR that can hold personal conversations with visitors at his cabinet table. [00:28:44] Radio Graffiti: "The Wet Sponge" A caller roasts political dodging, stating that expecting a straight answer from a politician is "like squeezing a wet sponge and wondering why you're not getting orange juice." [00:30:44] HCMC’s Financial Crisis A live look at the 100 job cuts at Hennepin County Medical Center, leading to a debate on whether state-level fraud has drained resources for essential public healthcare. [00:39:00] Drone Warfare in Grand Forks Entrepreneur JC Van Leer shares his transition from flying Blackhawks to developing NDA-compliant, "one-way" drones designed to keep the U.S. ahead of China in Group 1 and Group 2 technology.]]></description>

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from the O’Leary Ventures boardroom at The Hive in Grand Forks, Scott Hennen hosts a wide-ranging Town Hall. U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer joins the program from Washington D.C. to pull back the curtain on the "negotiation fest" surrounding the government shutdown and why Democrats may have trapped themselves by targeting DHS funding. The dialogue shifts to a fiery but civil debate with North Dakota State Senator Tim Mathern regarding federal overreach and the "Minnesota Contagion." Later, we explore the cutting edge of history and technology with an update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library’s realistic AI hologram and a sit-down with military vet turned tech entrepreneur JC Van Leer on the future of "one-way" drone defense. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:03] The DHS "Horrible Box" Senator Kevin Cramer explains why Democrats' decision to target ICE and DHS funding in the appropriations battle is a "special kind of stupid," as a shutdown would primarily impact Democratic priorities like FEMA and TSA. [00:15:34] The 10th Amendment Debate State Senator Tim Mathern argues that federal ICE actions in Minnesota constitute a violation of states' rights, comparing the federal overreach to the central governments of China and Russia. [00:19:33] "Macro vs. Micro" Ethics A tense exchange occurs as Senator Mathern suggests individuals have a "right to resist arrest," while Scott and Kevin challenge the morality of interfering with law enforcement. [00:23:40] The Don Lemon Arrest The crew reacts to the breaking news of Don Lemon’s arrest at a Minneapolis church for allegedly violating the FACE Act, debating the media's role in local unrest. [00:26:34] Talking Back to TR Matt Briney reveals that the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will feature a realistic, AI-driven hologram of TR that can hold personal conversations with visitors at his cabinet table. [00:28:44] Radio Graffiti: "The Wet Sponge" A caller roasts political dodging, stating that expecting a straight answer from a politician is "like squeezing a wet sponge and wondering why you're not getting orange juice." [00:30:44] HCMC’s Financial Crisis A live look at the 100 job cuts at Hennepin County Medical Center, leading to a debate on whether state-level fraud has drained resources for essential public healthcare. [00:39:00] Drone Warfare in Grand Forks Entrepreneur JC Van Leer shares his transition from flying Blackhawks to developing NDA-compliant, "one-way" drones designed to keep the U.S. ahead of China in Group 1 and Group 2 technology.]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen delivers a heavy-hitting episode exploring the deep spiritual and political rifts in America. From the "martyrdom" of Charlie Kirk to the escalating "Minneapolis Meltdown," this episode navigates the line between good and evil in modern society. Scott is joined by Drew Thomas Allen to discuss the radicalization of the American left, while psychiatrist Dr. Carol Lieberman provides a forensic look at the "Trump Derangement Syndrome" fueling civil unrest. The program also features a "Moorhead vs. Minneapolis" analysis, a look at the transformational "Trump Accounts" with Kevin O'Leary, and a raw conversation with legal immigrant advocate Fawzia Addy regarding a recent wave of hate-filled rhetoric. Standout Moments [00:02:15] The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk Author Drew Thomas Allen joins to discuss his book For Christ and Country. He draws a chilling parallel between the reactions to 9/11 and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, arguing that we are witnessing an "American Al Qaeda" fueled by a climate of dehumanization and hatred. [00:13:45] Mr. Wonderful and the "Trump Accounts" Kevin O'Leary discusses a transformational new policy: seeding every child at birth with $1,000 invested in the S&P 500. He argues these "Trump Accounts" will foster financial literacy and create a bipartisan path to individual independence from government reliance. [00:18:30] Psychoanalyzing the Protester Dr. Carol Lieberman, "America’s Psychiatrist," breaks down the "perfect storm" that leads upstanding citizens to become radicalized activists. She discusses the regression of society into "temper tantrums" and the loss of traditional moral anchors like the Ten Commandments. [00:25:20] The Scrubbed Truth: Alex Preddy’s Real Story Andrew in Fargo and Scott discuss the "Orwellian" media narrative surrounding Alex Preddy. They reveal new details about a previous altercation with federal agents a week before his death and critique the "MSNBC photoshopping" used to manipulate public empathy. [00:30:15] Mayor Jacob Frey’s Washington "Invasion" Speech Scott reacts live to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s speech at the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Scott slams the mayor as a "fraud and a clown" for claiming Minneapolis is being "invaded" by a private army while ignoring the 60,000 active warrants in the state. [00:37:45] A Letter from a "Doctor": Hate vs. Heritage Fawzia Addy, founder of the Immigrant Development Center, shares a disturbing, anonymous hate letter she received. Scott and Fawzia dismantle the "DEI hire" narrative and highlight the importance of not conflating legal, vetted refugees with criminal elements.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen kicks off a high-stakes Monday exploring the "colossal battle of wills" in Minnesota. Following a tragic weekend shooting in Minneapolis, the show investigates the discovery of secret "Signal Gate" chat groups allegedly used by state officials to track federal agents. Scott is joined by former North Dakota Governor Ed Schaefer to discuss an "off-ramp" for the violence, while "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary drops in to announce a major financial literacy initiative and fire back at "reckless media" following a legal victory. The episode also dives into "Moorhead’s Minneapolis moment," with a deep dive into recent city council comments regarding ICE operations, and a look at the future of North Dakota’s ag economy with state senator Paul Thomas. Standout Moments [00:07:30] A Way Out: The Schaefer Proposal Former Governor Ed Schaefer offers a strategic solution to the Minneapolis standoff: a "50% pullout" of federal agents in exchange for full state cooperation in identifying and removing the "worst of the worst" criminal offenders. [00:13:45] Trump Accounts:Kevin O’Leary’s Vision "Mr. Wonderful" joins the show to discuss "Trump Accounts"—a transformational plan to seed every child at birth with $1,000 invested in the S&P 500. O'Leary argues this is the key to bipartisan financial literacy and long-term independence from government reliance. [00:16:15] Mr. Wonderful Unfiltered: Clearing the Name Kevin O'Leary addresses a recently dismissed lawsuit in North Dakota, slamming "bottom-feeder" lawyers and "reckless media" for shoddy journalism. He announces he is hiring an AI team to scrape every headline to ensure legal accountability for defamation. [00:19:45] The "Trump Truce" and Signal Gate Scott breaks down the news of a phone call between Governor Tim Walz and President Trump. He contrasts the "olive branch" with reports of an encrypted Signal network involving the Lieutenant Governor used to swarm law enforcement. [00:30:45] E15 and the Ag Crisis State Senator Paul Thomas recaps President Trump’s recent trip to Iowa. They discuss why year-round E15 is a "win-win" that could consume 2 billion bushels of domestic corn oversupply and provide a lifeline to struggling North Dakota farmers. [00:35:10] Money, Markets, and Japan’s Warning Landmark Gold’s David Fisher explains why silver is up a staggering 56% this year. He draws a direct line between Japan’s failing bond market and the "Sell America" trade currently pushing investors toward physical gold. [00:40:15] Moorhead: The New Minneapolis?

		<description><![CDATA[In this intense and wide-ranging Tuesday edition of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen dives headfirst into what he describes as a "colossal battle between good and evil" currently playing out in the streets of Minneapolis. With federal agents clashing with organized activists and local leadership, Scott asks the fundamental question: Is unity even possible when one side thrives on dissension? The episode features a deep-dive forensic analysis of the recent ICE-related shooting with retired NYPD Detective Harry Houck, an investigation into the "Signal Gate" encrypted messaging network used by protesters, and a "Trooper Talk" segment with Captain Brian Ewan on the dangers of winter driving and the consequences of disregarding law enforcement instructions. Plus, a look at why North Dakota’s clean coal is literally saving lives during the current Arctic blast. Standout Moments [00:05:30] The Parable of the Sower & Modern Chaos Dana from Williston joins the show to discuss a modern twist on biblical parables, comparing the current political unrest in Minnesota to the sowing of "weeds" by an orchestrator of chaos. [00:15:20] Signal Gate: The Smoking Gun Scott breaks down the reports of a highly organized criminal enterprise in Minneapolis using the encrypted app Signal. He discusses how protesters are reportedly tracking ICE agents in real-time, documenting license plates, and swarming federal officers at hotels and restaurants. [00:45:10] Forensic Analysis: The Alex Pretty Shooting Retired NYPD Detective Harry Houck joins the program to slow down the video of the recent fatal altercation in Minneapolis. He analyzes the "furtive moves" made during the scrum and argues that if local police had been allowed to provide crowd control, no one would be dead. [01:06:45] The Holocaust Museum Rebukes Tim Walz Scott highlights the official statement from the U.S. Holocaust Museum regarding Governor Tim Walz’s comparison of illegal immigrants to Anne Frank, calling the rhetoric "deeply offensive" and a "despicable exploitation of genocide." [01:32:00] Coal: The Backbone of the Cold Snap Jonathan Fortner of the Lignite Energy Council explains why the Midwest grid would have failed during the current deep freeze without coal. He reveals that wind power dropped to just 2% during the storm's peak, while coal provided north of 40% of the region’s electricity.

The episode features a deep-dive forensic analysis of the recent ICE-related shooting with retired NYPD Detective Harry Houck, an investigation into the "Signal Gate" encrypted messaging network used by protesters, and a "Trooper Talk" segment with Captain Brian Ewan on the dangers of winter driving and the consequences of disregarding law enforcement instructions. Plus, a look at why North Dakota’s clean coal is literally saving lives during the current Arctic blast. Standout Moments [00:05:30] The Parable of the Sower & Modern Chaos Dana from Williston joins the show to discuss a modern twist on biblical parables, comparing the current political unrest in Minnesota to the sowing of "weeds" by an orchestrator of chaos. [00:15:20] Signal Gate: The Smoking Gun Scott breaks down the reports of a highly organized criminal enterprise in Minneapolis using the encrypted app Signal. He discusses how protesters are reportedly tracking ICE agents in real-time, documenting license plates, and swarming federal officers at hotels and restaurants. [00:45:10] Forensic Analysis: The Alex Pretty Shooting Retired NYPD Detective Harry Houck joins the program to slow down the video of the recent fatal altercation in Minneapolis. He analyzes the "furtive moves" made during the scrum and argues that if local police had been allowed to provide crowd control, no one would be dead. [01:06:45] The Holocaust Museum Rebukes Tim Walz Scott highlights the official statement from the U.S. Holocaust Museum regarding Governor Tim Walz’s comparison of illegal immigrants to Anne Frank, calling the rhetoric "deeply offensive" and a "despicable exploitation of genocide." [01:32:00] Coal: The Backbone of the Cold Snap Jonathan Fortner of the Lignite Energy Council explains why the Midwest grid would have failed during the current deep freeze without coal. He reveals that wind power dropped to just 2% during the storm's peak, while coal provided north of 40% of the region’s electricity. [01:55:30] Trooper Talk: 104 MPH in Zero Visibility Captain Brian Ewan of the North Dakota Highway Patrol shares a shocking story of a recent arrest on I-29 where a driver was clocked at…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen opens a heavy Monday broadcast grappling with the "Ground Zero" of American civil unrest: Minneapolis. Following a tragic weekend involving a fatal altercation between federal agents and a local ICU nurse, the show explores the "battle of wills" between the Trump administration’s ICE operations and Minnesota’s political leadership. The episode features a rare, long-form conversation with former North Dakota Governor Ed Schaefer on finding a strategic "off-ramp" to the violence, a political autopsy of "Signal Gate" with John Hinderacker, and a technical law enforcement breakdown of the Saturday shooting with retired Minneapolis Police Lieutenant Bob Kroll. From secret encrypted chat groups to the breakdown of moral character in public discourse, Scott and his guests ask the one question no one seems able to answer: How does this end? Standout Moments [00:07:30] The MSNBC vs. Fox News Filter Former Governor Ed Schaefer discusses the "source of truth" crisis. He describes how the same tragic incident is framed as "Nazi thugs shooting a nurse" on one network and "justified force against a domestic terrorist" on another, leaving citizens with no credible source of facts. [00:13:15] A Proposal for Peace: The 50% Solution Governor Schaefer offers a potential way out: pulling half of the federal ICE agents out of Minnesota for six weeks in exchange for full cooperation from local sheriffs and the Minneapolis PD to target a specific list of the "worst of the worst" offenders. [00:19:45] The "Tough Guy Tim" Pivot Scott breaks news of a phone call between Governor Tim Walz and President Trump. After weeks of "get the hell out" rhetoric, Walz reportedly requested to work together, signaling a potential "white flag" as the state faces intense pressure from the business community and looming fraud investigations. [00:31:05] Signal Gate: The Encrypted Insurgency John Hinderacker from the Center of the American Experiment breaks down the discovery of secret Signal chat groups. He alleges that high-ranking Minnesota officials, including the Lieutenant Governor, are part of a coordinated effort to track federal agents' license plates and swarm arrest scenes. [00:35:10] The Midterm Calculation A deep dive into the political cost of the Minneapolis conflict. Hinderacker argues that while Trump isn't on the ballot in 2026, he is "always on the Democrats' ballot," and the current chaos is being used as a turnout tool to fire up the radical left base.

		<description><![CDATA[In this fast-paced Friday edition, host Scott Hennen dons his warmest wool gear to tackle a high-stakes "Talk Radio Town Hall" with Senator Kevin Cramer. The conversation spans from the strategic necessity of a "Golden Dome" missile defense system involving Greenland and North Dakota to the economic "roller coaster" currently hitting the Bakken oil patch. Later, Minnesota House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth joins the show to discuss the escalating ICE standoff in the Twin Cities and the "distraction tactics" of the Walz administration. The episode wraps with a spirited debate over North Dakota’s new black license plates and a moving reflection on the March for Life in Washington, D.C. Standout Moments [00:02:15] The Golden Dome & The Greenland Connection Senator Kevin Cramer explains the strategic necessity of the "Golden Dome"—a $175 billion missile defense initiative. He breaks down why looking at a globe instead of a map reveals Greenland and North Dakota as the ultimate front lines for Arctic security against Russia and China. [00:10:45] Rigs Down in the Bakken A sobering update on domestic energy: For the first time in 30 years, Continental Resources has shut down all drilling rigs in North Dakota. Cramer and Hennen debate the tension between President Trump’s push for low gas prices and the economic survival of the North Dakota oil patch. [00:15:45] Is Amy Klobuchar Unbeatable? Lisa Demuth weighs in on the rumors of Senator Amy Klobuchar entering the Minnesota Governor’s race. Demuth dismisses the "gold standard" narrative, labeling any Democrat run as a "Tim Walz third term" and citing GOP gains in deep-blue districts as proof that the winds are shifting. [00:21:30] Exploding Trees and Bomb Cyclones Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki debunks the viral "exploding trees" phenomenon. While the science of freezing sap is real, he warns that the actual danger is the -50°F wind chills and a major ice storm looming for the Southern Plains. [00:24:10] The Great Black License Plate Debate Scott tackles a local "pet peeve": the sudden proliferation of black-and-white license plates in North Dakota and Minnesota. Listeners flood the inbox with reasons ranging from "matching the car" to making it easier for traffic cameras to read. [00:30:45] Heated Exchange: "Dylan from Detroit Lakes" A confrontational caller challenges Scott on Trump’s rhetoric and economic promises. The segment devolves into a viral-ready debate over inflation, Davos, and the fundamental differences between Democratic and Republican market policies. [00:39:15]…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this provocative Thursday edition, host Scott Hennen challenges listeners with a simple question: "Are you smarter than a Democrat?" The episode centers on President Trump’s high-stakes deal-making in Greenland and Venezuela, framed as a essential strategy to "checkmate" the growing influence of China and Russia. Scott breaks down why he believes opposition to these moves isn't just a political disagreement, but a strategic win for America's enemies. Beyond global geopolitics, the show dives into the "chaos" in Minneapolis as Vice President J.D. Vance arrives to support ICE agents facing local resistance. We also explore the future of American healthcare with Dr. Mike Jorgensen and get a preview of the "economic boom" predicted for 2026 with Grover Norquist. Standout Moments [00:01:10] The Greenland Checkmate Scott argues that the U.S. must exert itself as a superpower in Greenland to prevent Russia and China from filling the void. He posits that opposing Trump’s strategic military positioning is equivalent to "rooting for China." [00:07:33] Health Care Blind Spots Dr. Mike Jorgensen of Red River Chiropractic joins the show to discuss why primary care docs often miss the "root drivers" of illness. They discuss the "wellness lab" dashboard and how personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes are the real keys to the "Make America Healthy Again" movement. [00:14:24] The "Mothership" of Affordability Grover Norquist from Americans for Tax Reform breaks down the new 2026 tax policies. He argues that lower taxes on capital are the only way to increase productivity and take-home pay, contrasting the "boom" of Republican tax cuts with Democratic "Bolshevik" policies. [00:22:28] Michelle Tafoya Shakes Up the Senate Former sports journalist Michelle Tafoya joins the show to discuss her run for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota. She discusses her journey from the sidelines to the political arena, her "pro-choice Republican" stance, and her goal to end the "turnstile" of law and order in her home state. [00:30:45] Trump’s Own Words on "The Big Piece of Ice" A featured clip of President Trump from Davos, where he recounts the history of Greenland, the failures of Denmark's defense in WWII, and why modern missile technology makes the territory a "core national security interest." [00:34:40] J.D. Vance in Minneapolis Live coverage of Vice President J.D. Vance’s visit to Minnesota.

		<description><![CDATA[On the one-year anniversary of the 47th President’s inauguration, Scott Hennen broadcasts live from The Hive in Grand Forks, reflecting on a year of rapid policy shifts and historic accomplishments. From the immediate stabilization of the southern border to a record-breaking $18 trillion in new domestic investment commitments, the hour serves as a deep-dive into the current state of the "Trump Train" and the legislative battles brewing back home in North Dakota. The episode features high-stakes conversations with U.S. House Whip Tom Emmer on the "Minnesota Madness" and the push for regular order in Congress, as well as Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochensky on the city’s booming defense tech economy. Plus, Scott tackles the controversial debate over universal free school lunches in the North Dakota special session, questioning the $70 million price tag for a program that may bypass those truly in need. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:20] One Year of Accomplishments Scott and "Uncle Kev" reflect on the inauguration anniversary, highlighting the shutdown of child trafficking at the border and the "common sense" shift in domestic policy that has triggered a "pro-criminal" stance from the administration's loudest critics. [00:08:15] The School Lunch Perplexity A heated debate on the North Dakota special session’s plan to implement free school lunches. Scott questions why the state would spend $70 million for universal access when a previous $6 million allocation for the needy wasn't even fully utilized. [00:10:45] Grand Forks: The Silicon Valley of Drones Mayor Brandon Bochensky joins the show to discuss "The Hive" and Grand Sky, revealing that average salaries in the local defense sector have hit $120,000 as the city becomes a global hub for hypersonic missile testing and UAS technology. [00:15:45] Tom Emmer on the "Minnesota Fraudsters" U.S. House Whip Tom Emmer pulls no punches regarding the $9 billion in estimated fraud in Minnesota. He outlines how the "Winter of Love" rhetoric from local leaders is actively endangering federal agents and preventing the removal of high-level criminals. [00:26:15] Trump’s Surprise Press Briefing Live audio and reaction as President Trump takes the White House podium to school the media on slashing the trade deficit by 77%, adding $9 trillion to retirement accounts, and removing 270,000 federal bureaucrats in a single year.

		<description><![CDATA[It is a historic milestone on What’s On Your Mind as Scott Hennen and "Uncle Kev" mark the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s second inauguration. The duo reflects on a year that "felt like ten" due to the breakneck speed of executive orders, foreign policy shifts, and the "Big Beautiful Bill." They are joined by a powerful lineup of guests, including North Dakota Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak, who breaks down the four pillars of the administration's success, and Fawzia Addy, Executive Director of the Immigrant Development Center, who provides a rare, honest perspective from the Somali community on immigration enforcement and the "bad apples" tarnishing their reputation. The episode also features live coverage of President Trump schooling the White House press corps during a surprise appearance at the briefing room podium. From the collapse of drug overdose deaths to the "Green Scam" and the strategy behind negotiating for Greenland, this hour covers the highlights of a year that redefined the American political landscape. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:21] The Border "Sheriff" Effect Kevin Flynn discusses how the simple declaration of a "new sheriff in town" led to over 600,000 self-deportations and immediate control of the southern border without the need for new legislation. [00:05:15] The "Five-Alarm Fire" Extinguished Scott recaps the drastic drop in drug overdose deaths following the aggressive military targeting of drug runner boats and the closure of the border. [00:15:45] Fawzia Addy: "Nothing to Fear" A meaningful dialogue with the leader of the Immigrant Development Center. Addy denounces the fraudsters in Minnesota, defends law-abiding Somali-Americans, and explains why she blames the government for letting corruption reach $19 billion. [00:24:45] Breaking News: Trump Takes the Pod Live audio of President Trump entering the White House briefing room to present a massive binder of accomplishments, including $9 trillion added to retirement accounts and 1.2 million Americans lifted off food stamps. [00:28:15] The $1,300 Pill is Now $87 The President details his "Most Favored Nations" drug pricing agreements, explaining how the U.S. has stopped subsidizing the rest of the world to bring local pharmacy costs down by as much as 600%. [00:34:30] Julie Fedorchuk’s Top Four Congresswoman Fedorchuk joins from D.C. to list the administration’s biggest wins: Border, Energy, Taxes, and Spending.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen and "Uncle Kev" return with an explosive Monday update on the escalating "Minnesota Madness." The episode leads with a major scoop regarding potential back-channel communications between Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and the President as the city searches for an "off-ramp" from the ongoing civil unrest. Tensions reached a new high over the weekend as protesters—followed by former CNN host Don Lemon—invaded a St. Paul church service, leading to a federal civil rights probe. The duo breaks down staggering new statistics from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who reveals that 10,000 criminal illegal aliens have now been arrested in Minnesota, including a surge of 3,000 in just the last six weeks. From the "fentanyl bomb" to the massive "voter voucher" schemes, this episode pulls no punches. Later, North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Pat Traynor discusses innovative rural healthcare grants, and we hear a heartwarming look at Sanford Health's Child Life program. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00:15] Scoop: Mayor Frey’s Off-Ramp? Scott shares exclusive details from a Minneapolis business icon regarding a requested call between Jacob Frey and President Trump to turn down the heat in the Twin Cities. [00:04:45] The 10,000 Arrest Receipt Breaking down Kristi Noem’s latest report: 10,000 arrests in Minnesota since operations began. Scott reads the "receipts" on specific heinous crimes involving child predators and murderers now off the streets. [00:07:45] The Fentanyl Collapse A local emergency room physician reports a miraculous drop in fentanyl overdoses—from 12 a day down to nearly zero—crediting recent border and interdiction policies. [00:13:30] Invasion of the Sanctuary Bill Glahn from the Center of the American Experiment recaps the shocking footage of protesters disrupting a Baptist church service in St. Paul while searching for an ICE agent who wasn't even present.

		<description><![CDATA[In this "Feel Good Friday" edition of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen navigates a jam-packed hour featuring breaking news from the White House, intense weather updates, and a deep dive into the shifting landscape of the American energy sector. The episode kicks off with Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki tracking a "clipper train" bringing brutal sub-zero temperatures to the region before pivoting to a live address from President Trump on the rollout of the "Great Health Care Plan." The conversation turns local as North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness discusses why rigs are pulling out of the Bakken and what $59 oil means for the state's tax revenue. Later, the show balances heavy political discourse regarding the "whistle guide" controversy in Minneapolis schools with a moving "Feel Good Friday" segment featuring a family battling childhood cancer and the mission of "The Preacher in the Patch." The hour concludes with a Talk Radio Town Hall featuring Senator Kevin Cramer, who weighs in on the strategic necessity of Greenland and the potential invocation of the Insurrection Act. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:15] The Clipper Train Hits Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki warns of high wind warnings and a "clipper train" that will bring wind chills as low as 30 below zero, disrupting travel across the I-94 corridor through the weekend. [08:00] Rig Counts & Revenue Reality Ron Ness reveals that for the first time in 30 years, Continental Resources will not have an active rig in North Dakota, explaining the "harvest mode" mentality of the current oil market. [14:40] Breaking News: The Great Health Care Plan President Trump addresses the media before departing for Mar-a-Lago, detailing a plan to pay health care subsidies directly to patients rather than insurance companies and vowing to match the world's lowest prescription drug prices. [20:50] The Minneapolis Whistle Controversy Scott discusses reports of Minneapolis schools allegedly distributing "whistle guides" to students to alert the community and form crowds if ICE agents are spotted nearby. [28:40] The Insurrection Act Debate Senator Kevin Cramer discusses the "drip, drip, drip" of lawlessness in Minnesota and whether federal intervention is necessary to restore order in the Twin Cities. [34:10] Geopolitics: Greenland & Iran Senator Cramer breaks down why Greenland is a "strategic necessity" for national security and shares his stance on targeted military action versus cyber-warfare in Iran.

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-stakes edition of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen dives into the escalating chaos in Minneapolis following a violent ambush on federal agents. As Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey trade barbs with the Trump administration, the program asks the ultimate question: Is it time for the President to invoke the Insurrection Act? The episode features raw reactions to Governor Walz's controversial statewide address, where he labeled federal law enforcement actions as "kidnapping" and "atrocities." We hear from frontline warriors including Minnesota State Representative Walter Hudson and State Senator Jordan Rasmussen, who break down the "billions of dollars" in suspected fraud rings and the political calculation behind the current unrest. Plus, we pivot to North Dakota for an update on property tax relief with Representative Greg Steeman and a look at the "bearish" grain markets with Lighthouse Commodities. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:21] The Snow Shovel Ambush Scott breaks down the harrowing DHS report of a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis that turned into a three-person ambush, involving a snow shovel and a broomstick, leaving both an officer and a suspect hospitalized. [00:05:15] Tim Walz’s "Propaganda" Address A full replay and live reaction to Governor Walz’s five-minute address to Minnesotans, where he accuses ICE agents of "organized brutality" and "dragging pregnant women down the street." [00:11:41] Big Daddy Tom Weighs In The crew discusses Tom Homan’s cryptic White House meeting and his warning to coordinated groups financing the attacks on ICE: "Accountability is coming." [00:23:05] Walter Hudson: "Dialed Up to 11" Minnesota Representative Walter Hudson argues that the state is on the edge of civil war and explains why "overwhelming force" is the only remaining remedy to restore order. [00:28:45] Caroline Leavitt vs. The "Left-Wing Hack" A viral highlight from the White House briefing room as Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt dismantles a reporter’s premise regarding ICE custody deaths and the shooting of Renee Goode. [00:32:55] North Dakota’s Property Tax Win Representative Greg Steeman discusses the $1,600 primary residence credit landing in mailboxes and the potential "path to zero" for property taxes in the next session. [00:37:05] The $9 Billion Fraud Onion Senator Jordan Rasmussen details the staggering level of fraud in Minnesota’s benefit programs and his push for an independent Office of Inspector General to watch over the "blank checks."

		<description><![CDATA[In this jam-packed Wednesday edition of What's On Your Mind, hosts Scott Hannon and Kevin Flynn break down a series of explosive updates from across the region and the nation. The episode kicks off with breaking medical news that contradicts the official narrative surrounding the recent ICE shooting in Minneapolis, followed by a humorous yet critical look at Mayor Jacob Frey’s latest media appearances. The conversation shifts to North Dakota, where the state is offering a massive $1,600 property tax credit to primary homeowners—but you have to opt-in before the deadline. We also hear from Senator John Hoeven on the escalating assassination threats from Iran and the $1.5 trillion military budget proposal. Finally, the "Money Man" Brian Krank joins the studio to recap a historic 2025 for investors and explain why the Dow is knocking on the door of 50,000. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:00:10] – Breaking: The Minneapolis Medical Report Scott reveals breaking news from CBS reporting that the ICE agent struck by a vehicle in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding to the torso, directly challenging claims by local officials that the injuries were minor. [00:02:15] – The Mayor Frye "Happy Talk" Audit A breakdown of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s appearance on Fox & Friends, where he claims to be "anti-murder" while crime statistics show carjacking rates up over 500%.

[00:08:45] – How to Claim Your $1,600 Tax Credit North Dakota State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus joins the show to explain the $1,600 Primary Residence Credit. He walks through the 35-second application process and why rental properties don't qualify. [00:17:15] – The Probate Trap: Why a Will Isn't Enough Estate expert Mark Wagner explains why having a simple will guarantees your family will end up in probate court, losing thousands to legal fees and months to public record scrutiny. [00:22:30] – Senator Hoeven on the Iran Assassination Threat Senator John Hoeven reacts to Iranian state TV broadcasting a direct threat against President Trump, stating "this time it will not miss," and discusses the push for peace through strength.

		<description><![CDATA[In this wide-ranging Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind, hosts Scott Hannon and Kevin Flynn tackle a world that feels increasingly "upside down." The episode centers on a controversial proposal in North Dakota to enshrine free school lunches for all students into the state constitution—a move the hosts argue is a "solution in search of a problem" that could cost taxpayers $140 million every two years. The conversation moves from local school boards to the highest court in the land as the team analyzes the U.S. Supreme Court's hearing on biological males in women's sports. Cyber-security expert Arnie Bellini joins to break down the "digital warfare" helping Iranian patriots dismantle an oppressive regime, while David Fisher of Landmark Capital provides a sobering historical perspective on the global economic reset and the "death of the petrodollar." The episode concludes with a moment of "soul nourishment" featuring the University of Mary’s first-ever professional choir album. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:30] – The $140 Million School Lunch Debate Scott Hannon questions the necessity of a new statewide coalition's effort to provide free school meals to all students, regardless of family income, and the danger of making it a permanent constitutional mandate.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[In this wide-ranging Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind, hosts Scott Hannon and Kevin Flynn tackle a world that feels increasingly "upside down." The episode centers on a controversial proposal in North Dakota to enshrine free school lunches for all students into the state constitution—a move the hosts argue is a "solution in search of a problem" that could cost taxpayers $140 million every two years. The conversation moves from local school boards to the highest court in the land as the team analyzes the U.S. Supreme Court's hearing on biological males in women's sports. Cyber-security expert Arnie Bellini joins to break down the "digital warfare" helping Iranian patriots dismantle an oppressive regime, while David Fisher of Landmark Capital provides a sobering historical perspective on the global economic reset and the "death of the petrodollar." The episode concludes with a moment of "soul nourishment" featuring the University of Mary’s first-ever professional choir album. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:30] – The $140 Million School Lunch Debate Scott Hannon questions the necessity of a new statewide coalition's effort to provide free school meals to all students, regardless of family income, and the danger of making it a permanent constitutional mandate.

		<description><![CDATA[In this high-stakes Monday edition of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn peel back the layers of a rapidly evolving crisis in the Twin Cities. The episode centers on the intersection of massive taxpayer-funded fraud and the escalating tensions between federal ICE agents and professional agitators. The program features an on-the-ground update from Alpha News' Liz Collin regarding over $700 million in cash detected leaving the Minneapolis airport and the state-funded networks allegedly backing anti-ICE protests. We also hear from Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner on the delicate "split-second" reality of law enforcement's use of force and Dr. Scott Jensen, who breaks exclusive news regarding his campaign for Governor of Minnesota and the systemic culture of unaccountability in the state. Finally, Mike Howell of the Oversight Project explains why the "Minnesota model" of fraud is actually a feature of a broader national governing strategy. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:04:00] – The Fraud List Receipts Scott Hennen reads the chilling criminal records of "worst of the worst" aliens recently arrested in Minnesota—including convictions for child sodomy and homicide—challenging Governor Tim Walz’s claim that ICE operations aren't making the state safer. [00:07:30] – Funding the Agitators Liz Collin of Alpha News reveals that several anti-ICE protest groups are not only highly organized with "live tracking apps" but are actually receiving state grants and state funding to operate in Minnesota. [00:11:45] – The $700 Million Suitcase Scandal A deep dive into the shocking reports from the TSA flagging nearly a billion dollars in declared cash leaving the Minneapolis airport in luggage bound for Somalia via Dubai over the last two years. [00:13:30] – Operation Metro Surge Analysis of the breaking news regarding a 3:30 PM press conference by AG Keith Ellison and Mayor Jacob Frey as federal "Metro Surge" agents are deployed to combat the leadership vacuum in local law enforcement. [00:15:30] – The $1.5 Trillion Military Stick The hosts debate Donald Trump’s massive proposed defense budget increase, funded by tariffs, and whether the "Big Stick" theory is necessary to deter China, Russia, and Iran. [00:20:00] – Exclusive: Scott Jensen’s Running Mate Dr. Scott Jensen joins the show to officially announce 30-year law enforcement veteran Pudayvon Wilkerson as his Lieutenant Governor candidate, emphasizing her expertise in investigating the linkages of systemic fraud.

		<description><![CDATA[In this charged Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind, the conversation centers on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day—a day that should be for celebration but finds itself overshadowed by recent events in Minneapolis. The hosts dive into the escalating tensions between ICE operations and activist groups, questioning the role of political rhetoric in fueling dangerous street confrontations. From the "brainwashing" of professional protesters to the silent majority's support for the thin blue line, no topic is off-limits. The episode balances the heavy news with heartwarming stories of police professionalism and a special "Feel Good Friday" segment highlighting local efforts to "stick it to cancer." Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:15] Heroes vs. Anarchy The show opens with a somber reflection on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. The hosts discuss the "heartbreaking" reality of ICE officers facing "reckless, law-breaking agitators" while simply trying to fulfill their sworn duties. [00:07:30] The "Thunderdome" of Lawlessness A caller from West Fargo joins the fray, comparing the current political climate to the movie Thunderdome. The discussion turns to the "playbook of chaos" and whether the average American truly wants the lawlessness being seen on the news. [00:15:45] The "Woke" Moment of Silence A listener from Minot calls in to express frustration over the Minnesota Timberwolves’ halftime tribute. The hosts debate the "virtue signaling" of sports organizations and the hypocrisy of honoring protesters while ignoring injured federal officers. [00:23:10] Stalkers or "Legal Observers"? The hosts break down the recent shooting incident in Minneapolis, challenging the narrative that the deceased was merely a "legal observer." They examine reports of activists literally "stalking" ICE vehicles and the "frenzy" created by social media clicks. [00:34:20] A Trucker’s Tale of Common Sense A long-time trucker named Sid calls in with a refreshing story about a late-night traffic stop in West Fargo. It’s a perfect example of the "99.9% of interactions" that involve professionalism, mutual respect, and a "break" for the working man. [00:39:15] Stick It to Cancer Gina Pinovich from Lend a Hand Up joins the show for a "Feel Good Friday" update. Learn how a local high school hockey tradition has grown into a massive community fundraiser to support families battling health crises across 11 counties.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a heavy-hitting Thursday on What’s On Your Mind as the news cycle moves at a breakneck pace between the Twin Cities and the Big Apple. Guest host Steve Hallstrom steps in for Scott Hennen, who is on a special assignment in Minneapolis to interview U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The episode centers on the tragic and volatile fallout of a fatal ICE officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis, an event that has ignited a firestorm of political rhetoric and public unrest. The show features a raw, real-time look at a press conference from New York City with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem delivers a defiant defense of law enforcement, clashing with New York's socialist leadership and addressing what she calls the "train wreck" of corruption and fraud in Minnesota. From the "Don-Roe Doctrine" on the world stage to the "radicalization" of local protesters, this episode explores the deep cultural divide between those calling for "warm collectivism" and those demanding a return to law and order. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:15] – The "Chaos" Narrative Steve Hallstrom breaks down the immediate media and political reaction to the Minneapolis shooting, arguing that the left "wants disorder" to raise money and recruit followers, while the silent majority is desperate for a return to civil order. [00:10:45] – Kristi Noem’s "New York Minute" Live from a NYC press conference, Secretary Noem fires back at Mayor Zoran Mamdani and other Democratic leaders, accusing them of "doing the devil's work" by siding with illegal residents over tax-paying American citizens. [00:13:20] – The "Train Wreck" of Minnesota Noem pulls no punches regarding the state of Minnesota, calling it "corrupt" and highlighting the multi-billion dollar fraud scandals that she claims were allowed to flourish under the leadership of Governor Tim Walz. [00:27:15] – Vehicles as Weapons A deep dive into the specifics of the Minneapolis incident. Noem confirms that the vehicle in question was used to ram an officer and that the administration will no longer tolerate the "siege" on federal agents, citing a 1,150% increase in assaults on ICE. [00:33:45] – The "Legal Observer" Rebrand Steve discusses the "hijacking" of language by activists, debating how the term "legal observer" is being used as a shield for those inciting violence during deportation proceedings. [00:46:15] – Scott Bessent’s "Eyes on the Ground" An update on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s visit to the Twin Cities to witness the economic…]]></description>

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[It is a heavy-hitting Thursday on What’s On Your Mind as the news cycle moves at a breakneck pace between the Twin Cities and the Big Apple. Guest host Steve Hallstrom steps in for Scott Hennen, who is on a special assignment in Minneapolis to interview U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The episode centers on the tragic and volatile fallout of a fatal ICE officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis, an event that has ignited a firestorm of political rhetoric and public unrest. The show features a raw, real-time look at a press conference from New York City with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem delivers a defiant defense of law enforcement, clashing with New York's socialist leadership and addressing what she calls the "train wreck" of corruption and fraud in Minnesota. From the "Don-Roe Doctrine" on the world stage to the "radicalization" of local protesters, this episode explores the deep cultural divide between those calling for "warm collectivism" and those demanding a return to law and order. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:15] – The "Chaos" Narrative Steve Hallstrom breaks down the immediate media and political reaction to the Minneapolis shooting, arguing that the left "wants disorder" to raise money and recruit followers, while the silent majority is desperate for a return to civil order. [00:10:45] – Kristi Noem’s "New York Minute" Live from a NYC press conference, Secretary Noem fires back at Mayor Zoran Mamdani and other Democratic leaders, accusing them of "doing the devil's work" by siding with illegal residents over tax-paying American citizens.

		<description><![CDATA[It is a heavy-hitting Wednesday on What’s On Your Mind as host Scott Hennen returns to a political landscape that is shifting under Governor Tim Walz's feet. The episode centers on the explosive revelation of a multi-billion dollar federal audit of Minnesota's Medicaid and social service programs. Dr. Mehmet Oz, CMS Administrator, joins the show to explain why the federal government is moving to "claw back" billions in taxpayer money after uncovering what he calls a "web of corruption" in state-funded programs. The conversation dives deep into the fallout of Walz's decision not to seek re-election, with Scott dissecting the Governor's "excuse fest" and contrasting it with the 2,000 federal agents now surging into the state. From the "leering center" daycare scandal to the strategic brilliance of the "Don-Roe Doctrine" on the global stage, this episode captures a region grappling with massive accountability while looking toward a new era of American leadership. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:15] – The "Fire Hose" of Minnesota News Scott describes the overwhelming pace of local headlines, noting that Minnesota is currently at the "tip of the spear" regarding federal investigations into fraud and government incompetence. [00:08:45] – The Walz "Knucklehead" Defense A breakdown of Governor Tim Walz's recent press appearance, where he attempts to deflect from billion-dollar fraud scandals by playing the "shucks, I’m just a knucklehead" card while lashing out at his political rivals. [00:15:20] – Dr. Oz & the "JV" Fraud League CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz reveals that while Minnesota’s grift is massive, it is only the "JV team" compared to the "varsity" level institutionalized fraud currently being uncovered in California. [00:23:10] – The Don-Roe Doctrine Explained Scott explores how the recent military success in Venezuela signals a return to the Monroe Doctrine with a modern twist, effectively checking the influence of China, Russia, and Iran in the Western Hemisphere. [00:41:40] – The Craigslist "Child Actor" Scandal A shocking look into reports of fraudulent daycares in Minneapolis allegedly using Craigslist to hire child actors to fill empty buildings during federal inspections to justify millions in state funding. [00:54:30] – Amy Klobuchar’s Rumored Run The crew discusses rumblings that Senator Amy Klobuchar may be part of a "deal" to run for Governor, potentially allowing Walz to seek her vacated Senate seat in a calculated political swap.

		<description><![CDATA[On the five-year anniversary of January 6th, host Scott Hennen returns to the PetroServe USA studios to ask a fundamental question: "How is Donald Trump still standing?" From enduring multiple impeachments to a record-breaking landslide re-election in 2024, the episode explores the theories behind Trump’s political resilience—ranging from "dumb opponents" to divine intervention. The news cycle is dominated by the shock resignation of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, whom Hennen labels a "political gadfly" whose legacy is sinking under a $10 billion fraud scandal. Guest Bill Glantz from the Center of the American Experiment provides an under-the-hood look at the years of investigations into Minnesota’s daycare and Medicaid grift, while North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley joins to sound the alarm on a 43% increase in violent crime and the "topsy-turvy world" of early prisoner releases. From the takedown of Maduro in Venezuela to the "warm collectivism" of New York’s new leadership, this episode captures a nation at a breathtaking turning point. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:03:30] – The Resignation Speech: Tim Walz Wreathed in Excuses Scott dissects Governor Walz’s official announcement that he will not seek a historic third term. Walz blames "Republicans playing hide-and-seek" and "conspiracy theorist YouTubers" for exposing the massive fraud under his watch. [00:10:45] – The Don-Roe Doctrine in Action A deep dive into the military-led apprehension of Nicolas Maduro. Scott explains how Trump’s move isn't just about drugs—it’s a "checkmate" against Chinese and Russian influence in the Western Hemisphere. [00:19:20] – The $10 Billion Tally: Investigating Minnesota’s Grift Bill Glantz explains the mechanics of over-billing in daycare centers, where paper logs and lack of oversight allowed fraudsters to drain billions from federal nutrition and Medicaid programs. [00:32:15] – Defining Violence: North Dakota’s 43% Spike Attorney General Drew Wrigley breaks down disturbing stats showing that violent crimes against persons have jumped significantly since 2014, and argues for "Truth in Sentencing" to end the revolving door of repeat offenders. [00:46:15] – The Vouching Loophole: Voting Integrity in Question A startling look at a Fox News report revealing that in Minnesota, a single registered voter can "vouch" for up to eight others on election day without an ID—a policy that critics argue invites mass fraud. [00:54:30] – Collectivism vs. Individualism Scott reacts to the rhetoric of New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani, contrasting the "deadly history" of warm collectivism with the entrepreneurial "entrepreneurial spark" of American individualism.

		<description><![CDATA[It’s a historic Monday on What’s On Your Mind as host Scott Hennen returns from holiday break to a news cycle firing on all cylinders. The episode centers on two earth-shattering headlines: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s shock announcement that he will not seek a third term, and the breathtaking military-led apprehension of Venezuelan narco-terrorist Nicolas Maduro. Scott and guest host Kevin Flynn dissect Walz's "excuse fest" exit speech, contrasting his rhetoric with the billion-dollar fraud scandals and economic decline currently plaguing Minnesota. The conversation then shifts to the world stage, where Hennen introduces the "Don-Roe Doctrine"—a 2026 twist on the Monroe Doctrine—explaining how Donald Trump’s decisive action in Venezuela has sent a "checkmate" message to China, Russia, and Iran. From the "warm collectivism" of New York’s new socialist leadership to a world-record bottle rocket launch in Mandan, this episode captures a nation experiencing a massive political and cultural awakening. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:45] – Breaking News: Tim Walz Bows Out Scott reacts in real-time to Governor Tim Walz's announcement that he will not seek re-election, calling it a recognition of his "political fortune circling the drain" amid massive state fraud investigations. [00:08:30] – The "Don-Roe" Doctrine A deep dive into the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and how the recent takedown of Nicolas Maduro signals a return to American policing of the Western Hemisphere, effectively choking out Chinese and Russian influence. [00:15:20] – The Oil Chess Match Scott explains why the Venezuela operation isn't just an "oil grab" but a strategic move to lower global energy prices and bring Russia to its knees by devaluing its primary war-funding resource. [00:23:45] – A Guinness World Record in Mandan Garrison Risner of Pegasus Illuminations joins the show to recap the epic New Year’s Eve event where North Dakotans launched 2.8 million Roman candles to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. [00:33:15] – Intelligence Factories: South Dakota’s AI Future State Senator Casey Crabtree discusses new legislation to align South Dakota with the "America First" AI agenda, aiming to beat China in the race for technological and energy dominance. [00:40:45] – The "Too Cute by Half" Klobuchar Conspiracy Scott breaks down reports that Walz reached out to Senator Amy Klobuchar to potentially run for Governor, which would allow Walz to be appointed to her vacated Senate seat in a "Biden-style" playbook.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[It’s a historic Monday on What’s On Your Mind as host Scott Hennen returns from holiday break to a news cycle firing on all cylinders. The episode centers on two earth-shattering headlines: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s shock announcement that he will not seek a third term, and the breathtaking military-led apprehension of Venezuelan narco-terrorist Nicolas Maduro. Scott and guest host Kevin Flynn dissect Walz's "excuse fest" exit speech, contrasting his rhetoric with the billion-dollar fraud scandals and economic decline currently plaguing Minnesota. The conversation then shifts to the world stage, where Hennen introduces the "Don-Roe Doctrine"—a 2026 twist on the Monroe Doctrine—explaining how Donald Trump’s decisive action in Venezuela has sent a "checkmate" message to China, Russia, and Iran. From the "warm collectivism" of New York’s new socialist leadership to a world-record bottle rocket launch in Mandan, this episode captures a nation experiencing a massive political and cultural awakening. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:45] – Breaking News: Tim Walz Bows Out Scott reacts in real-time to Governor Tim Walz's announcement that he will not seek re-election, calling it a recognition of his "political fortune circling the drain" amid massive state fraud investigations. [00:08:30] – The "Don-Roe" Doctrine A deep dive into the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and how the recent takedown of Nicolas Maduro signals a return to American policing of the Western Hemisphere, effectively choking out Chinese and Russian influence. [00:15:20] – The Oil Chess Match Scott explains why the Venezuela operation isn't just an "oil grab" but a strategic move to lower global energy prices and bring Russia to its knees by devaluing its primary war-funding resource. [00:23:45] – A Guinness World Record in Mandan Garrison Risner of Pegasus Illuminations joins the show to recap the epic New Year’s Eve event where North Dakotans launched 2.8 million Roman candles to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. [00:33:15] – Intelligence Factories: South Dakota’s AI Future State Senator Casey Crabtree discusses new legislation to align South Dakota with the "America First" AI agenda, aiming to beat China in the race for technological and energy dominance. [00:40:45] – The "Too Cute by Half" Klobuchar Conspiracy Scott breaks down reports that Walz reached out to Senator Amy Klobuchar to potentially run for Governor, which would allow Walz to be appointed to her vacated Senate seat in a "Biden-style" playbook.

		<description><![CDATA[In this hard-hitting Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind, guest host Kevin Flynn navigates a complex landscape of political upheaval, cultural tension, and the future of American agriculture. As Minnesota grapples with a multi-billion dollar deficit and lingering fraud scandals, the show features an in-depth conversation with gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls. Qualls outlines his vision for "right-sizing" government, tapping into the Iron Range’s rare earth minerals to achieve energy independence, and restoring what he calls the "American ethos" in a state facing deep divisions. The second half of the show shifts gears into cultural and economic territory with Leon Francis of the Blackbeard Logic podcast, tackling the "great replacement theory" and the role of religious principles in public office. Finally, David Spickler from Lighthouse Commodities provides a sobering look at the 2026 grain markets, the impact of China tariffs, and how AI is beginning to revolutionize the family farm. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:45] – The Death of Mainstream Media Kevin discusses why traditional network news is losing its grip, citing the rise of independent journalists like Nick Shirley and the power of the "smartphone ciphers" in every citizen's pocket. [00:08:55] – "Hold My Beer": The California vs. Minnesota Fraud Race A caller from Pasadena joins Kevin to compare the "rot" in California under Newsom to the current fraud scandals in Minnesota, debating where the next $100 billion discrepancy will be found. [00:15:20] – Kendall Qualls: Mining the Future Gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls discusses opening a school of mining and engineering in Duluth to tap into copper and nickel reserves, aiming to end reliance on slave labor from the Congo and imports from China. [00:22:10] – The Ballot or the Biden Treatment? Qualls predicts that Tim Walz may not be on the upcoming ballot, suggesting the DFL might give him the "Joe Biden treatment" to clear the slate of recent fraud headlines. [00:33:45] – Virtual Knuckles: Leon Francis on Faith and Patriotism A passionate discussion on the systematic decoupling of America from its Judeo-Christian foundations and the controversial use of the Quran in swearing-in ceremonies for elected officials. [00:46:15] – The Seventh Baby: A Tipping Point Discussion The crew reacts to local news reports about the first baby of the year, sparking a raw conversation about the "American ethos," demographic shifts, and the reality of the "armed populace."

		<description><![CDATA[In this New Year’s Eve special, host Kevin Flynn dives into a whirlwind of local controversy and winter tradition. The episode kicks off with a critical look at a massive daycare fraud scandal rocking Minneapolis, with listeners weighing in on government accountability and "sanctuary state" policies. The conversation then shifts from the heat of politics to the ice of the Northern Plains. Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki breaks down the "LRC" weather cycle and why we’re seeing more "clippers" than blizzards this year. We also hear from Adam Walker about the Patriot House Project, an inspiring initiative providing free ice fishing experiences for veterans. Whether it's discussing the "Cadillac of fish houses" or the "scams" in state government, this episode captures the unique tension between community heart and political frustration in 2026. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:05:30] – The $70 Billion "Scam" Kevin discusses the massive financial discrepancies and alleged institutionalized fraud in California and Minnesota, comparing the spread of government "sanctuary" programs to "tumors" popping up across the region. [00:15:45] – The Weather Wizard’s Forecast Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki explains the 73-day LRC cycle and why January is looking light on snow but heavy on "clippers" and Arctic air. [00:33:15] – "Cadillac Fishing" & Ice Castles A look at how ice fishing has evolved from sitting on a bucket in -20°C weather to luxury "Ice Castles" featuring 60-inch flat screens and full kitchens. [01:05:20] – The Patriot House Project Adam Walker joins the show to discuss providing veterans with free, fully-equipped 3-day ice fishing stays, highlighting a "blueprint" for veteran support in the Midwest. [01:17:40] – The "Quality Leering Center" Mystery A deep dive into the viral investigation of a Minneapolis daycare with misspelled signs, $4 million in tax funding, and no children—until the cameras showed up. [02:11:00] – The Death of College Football? Kevin and the crew get "sour" on the state of college sports, discussing the transfer portal, NIL money, and why they prefer the loyalty found in Bison athletes. [02:43:00] – America First & "The Bar" Guest "Ruger" and caller Charlie discuss cultural assimilation, the importance of "America First" values, and the frustration with lowered standards in education and law.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this pre-Christmas edition of What’s On Your Mind, the hosts lean into the holiday spirit while conducting a comprehensive year-end review of the political and social landscape in North Dakota. The episode features high-level discussions on property tax reform with Senate Majority Leader David Hogue and a deep dive into the region's recidivism and public safety challenges with Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner. Fargo City Commission member Michelle Turnberg also joins the program to discuss the ongoing battles over homeless policy and "harm reduction" strategies. Between these heavy-hitting interviews, the show acts as a community jukebox, filling the airwaves with listener-requested Christmas classics ranging from Bing Crosby to Luciano Pavarotti. Standout Moments & Timestamps [08:00] The "Naughty and Nice" List The show opens with a lighthearted but pointed reflection on the year's winners and losers, with the hosts jokingly placing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz at the top of their "naughty" list. [08:15] Michelle Turnberg: The "Fearless Warrior" Fargo City Commission member Michelle Turnberg reviews a year of uphill battles, specifically targeting the city’s "harm reduction" programs. She reveals that the city handed out 5,700 crack pipes without commission approval—a policy she vows to end if a conservative majority is reached in June. [08:35] The $1,600 Property Tax Win Senate Majority Leader David Hogue breaks down the impact of the 2025 legislative session, highlighting the $1,600 property tax reduction for primary residents and the implementation of a 3% spending cap on political subdivisions to ensure the relief is sustainable. [08:42] Economic "Golden Age" The hosts discuss blistering economic data showing the U.S. economy grew at a 4.3% annual pace in the third quarter, exceeding the expectations of 60 out of 61 Bloomberg economists. [09:12] Dean Wysocki’s "Bad Santa" Attire A visual highlight of the morning: Meteorologist Dean Wysocki arrives in a "strategic" holiday outfit featuring antlers with mistletoe and a hairy-chest Santa shirt, earning him a spot on the hosts' "naughty" list. [09:21] The Recidivism Crisis Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner sounds the alarm on "frequent flyers" in the criminal justice system. He shares examples of violent repeat offenders who serve less than three years of five-year sentences due to a lack of capacity at the state penitentiary, leading to immediate re-victimization of the community. [09:35] A Path to Healing, Not Paraphernalia The conversation shifts to the root causes of crime, with Sheriff Jahner identifying addiction and mental health as…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this action-packed Monday edition of What’s On Your Mind, hosts Kevin Flynn and Scott Hennen break down the seismic shifts in North Dakota and Minnesota politics. North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong joins the show to recap his first year in office, diving into the success of the $1,600 Primary Residence Credit (PRC) and the groundbreaking law that successfully removed cell phones from classrooms to "improve the social structure" of schools. The episode then takes a hard turn across the river into Minnesota, where "Uncle" Mike Lindell discusses his 100% "all-in" run for governor. Lindell sounds off on the staggering $18 billion fraud scandal rocking the state, the weaponization of "Operation Arctic Frost" against his company, and the recent admission from Fulton County, Georgia, regarding 300,000+ illegally certified votes from 2020. From the "circular firing squad" at America Fest to the future of J.D. Vance in 2028, this episode is a deep dive into accountability, election integrity, and the "industrial-scale" grift currently making international headlines. Standout Moments [00:03] The Epstein Files & Tim Walz The hosts discuss the "ugly Christmas sweater" that is Tim Walz’s administration, reacting to the drop of the Epstein files and Walz’s attempt to pivot to gun control amidst massive state fraud reports.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[In this action-packed Monday edition of What’s On Your Mind, hosts Kevin Flynn and Scott Hennen break down the seismic shifts in North Dakota and Minnesota politics. North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong joins the show to recap his first year in office, diving into the success of the $1,600 Primary Residence Credit (PRC) and the groundbreaking law that successfully removed cell phones from classrooms to "improve the social structure" of schools. The episode then takes a hard turn across the river into Minnesota, where "Uncle" Mike Lindell discusses his 100% "all-in" run for governor. Lindell sounds off on the staggering $18 billion fraud scandal rocking the state, the weaponization of "Operation Arctic Frost" against his company, and the recent admission from Fulton County, Georgia, regarding 300,000+ illegally certified votes from 2020. From the "circular firing squad" at America Fest to the future of J.D. Vance in 2028, this episode is a deep dive into accountability, election integrity, and the "industrial-scale" grift currently making international headlines. Standout Moments [00:03] The Epstein Files & Tim Walz The hosts discuss the "ugly Christmas sweater" that is Tim Walz’s administration, reacting to the drop of the Epstein files and Walz’s attempt to pivot to gun control amidst massive state fraud reports.

		<description><![CDATA[With regular host Scott Hennen sidelined by a "D.C. bug," Kevin Flynn and Jay Thomas step into the cockpit for a high-octane Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind. The show serves as a blunt-force trauma reality check on the state of Minnesota, diving deep into reports of a staggering $10 billion to $18 billion "industrial-scale" fraud scandal involving Medicaid and Somali clan networks. Bill Glahn from the Center of the American Experiment joins the fray to break down how the "fraud father" administration in St. Paul allegedly looked the other way while taxpayer dollars fueled overseas investments and local grifts. The conversation isn’t all corruption and chaos, however. The hosts explore the mind-blowing future of "clean energy" with an 8-year Navy nuclear submarine veteran who explains why minivan-sized fusion reactors are about to change the world. From the hilarious absurdity of "pirate-affirming healthcare" to the local "Fill the Boot" drive for homeless kids, this episode balances righteous indignation with small-town heart and a heavy dose of Brian Setzer holiday swing. Standout Moments [00:02] The Vehicle Value Scam Jay Thomas vents about the "fraud fathers" in Minnesota over-valuing his $3,500 rust-bucket truck at $35,000 on tax statements to juice state coffers. [00:06] Saving Lives with Mango Nicotine Jay shares a hilarious "life-saving" story about how F5 Project founder Adam Martin rescued him from a nicotine fit during a grueling Minneapolis airport layover with a well-timed mango pouch. [00:13] Hakeem’s Titanic Tantrum The hosts tear into Hakeem Jeffries’ viral rant against renaming the Kennedy Center after Donald Trump, mocking his "the ship be sinking" Ebonics and lack of legislative accomplishments. [00:15] The Somali Clan Connection Bill Glahn explains the complex "clan system" imported from East Africa that reportedly specializes in specific types of Medicaid fraud, leading to a massive federal "strike force" investigation in Minnesota. [00:18] Nuclear Power in a Semi-Truck Trevor, a former Navy nuke, explains why the future of energy isn't wind or solar, but small modular reactors that produce zero waste and can be hauled on the back of a 53-foot trailer. [00:23] The Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul Verdict The guys preview the big Netflix fight, praying that Joshua—a "beast" of a heavyweight—finally puts an end to the "Jake Paul theater show." [00:30] Pirate-Affirming Healthcare A biting satire on gender-affirming care for children: If a 10-year-old thinks he’s Jack Sparrow, do we "believing him" mean cutting off…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a "Windy Edition" of the show as a winter blizzard sweeps through the region, but the news cycle is moving even faster than the gusts. Scott Hanlon and the team break down President Trump’s high-impact primetime address, where the big headline wasn't a war announcement, but a "warrior dividend" heading into the pockets of nearly 1.5 million service members. The guys also dive into the bizarre investigative failures at Brown University following a campus shooting and sit down with Fargo Police Chief Dave Zabolsky to get the truth behind recent crime stats. Plus, we look at the future of health with Dr. Mike Jorgensen and check the "scene of the crime" in the grain markets with Lighthouse Commodities. Episode Highlights [00:01:10] The Warrior Dividend Scott reacts to President Trump’s surprise announcement of a $1,776 "Warrior Dividend" for every member of the military—a morale booster funded by record tariff revenue. [00:01:37] The Brown University "Dumpster Fire" A deep dive into the "incompetence or cover-up" at Brown University. Why were security cameras turned off, and how did a suspect vanish from a room full of witnesses without a single cell phone video surfacing? [00:04:10] Fargo Police: Manhunts and Misperceptions Fargo Police Chief Dave Zabolsky joins the show to discuss the recent high-profile manhunt, the 10% reduction in city-wide crime, and why "Beat 5" is the current hotspot for shoplifting syndicates. [00:10:30] Blizzard Status Update Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki delivers a sobering travel report: 90 mph gusts in Southwest North Dakota and zero visibility in Grand Forks. Find out when the "deterioration" hits the FM area. [00:13:10] Signal vs. Noise: The Trump Address A breakdown of the President's "Landslide Mandate" speech. Scott asks the audience: Are you feeling the "Coldness" critics claim, or are you seeing the "Wham, Bam" results of the last 11 months? [00:27:50] MAHA: The 65-Point Wellness Reset Dr. Mike Jorgensen explains why the game is "rigged" against American health and how a wellness lab panel can help you "look under the hood" to fix chronic inflammation and gut damage. [00:32:00] Markets: Scene of the Crime David Spickler of Lighthouse Commodities analyzes the recent correction in soybeans and why he believes a "buy signal" is looming just in time for the new year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With exactly one week until Christmas Eve, Scott Hennen and the team cut through the "noise" to find the "signal." This episode features a masterclass in current events—from a deep dive into the first year of the Trump administration’s results versus the media’s personality-driven narrative to a surprising look at property tax relief hitting North Dakota mailboxes. We also sit down with Paul Fisher of Capstone Classical Academy to discuss the "miracle" of classical education in Fargo, and catch up with Robbie Loft for a fascinating update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. From AI-powered conversations with Teddy to 8,000-gallon fuel bunkers in the North Dakota countryside, today’s show covers the boulders being pushed and the legacies being built. Episode Highlights [00:01:30] Personality vs. Results Scott breaks down a Peggy Noonan column on whether Trump is "losing his touch," arguing that the media focuses on "mean tweets" while ignoring major shifts at the border and in global trade deals. [00:03:45] The $800 Tax Win A look at the "bounty of oil" in action as North Dakotans receive property tax statements. Scott shares his own $800 reduction and discusses the 50,000 households whose property tax tab went to zero. [00:05:30] The Miracle of Capstone Headmaster Paul Fisher discusses the national reputation of Capstone Classical Academy and why parents are fleeing "postmodern identity politics" for academic rigor and Christian virtue. [00:09:00] The "Bedwetting" Crowd & Polling Psyops The guys tackle flagging poll numbers on the economy and immigration, questioning whether they reflect reality or a "deluge of propaganda" designed to fray the MAGA community. [00:21:40] Property Tax 101 with Ryan Rauschenberger State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus joins the show to explain the Primary Residence Credit (PRC) and how residents can tap into up to $4,000 of relief. [00:25:00] The "Farmhouse Bunker" A look at a unique real estate listing: a countryside retreat featuring 10,000-gallon water tanks, twin generators, and a hidden three-room bunker. [00:29:15] The Badlands Phoenix Executive Director Robbie Loft provides an 80% completion update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, opening July 4, 2026. [00:33:10] Debating an AI Teddy Robbie explains how the new library will use AI to allow visitors to actually converse and debate with a digital version of the 26th President based on his 30+ books and thousands of letters.]]></description>

This episode features a masterclass in current events—from a deep dive into the first year of the Trump administration’s results versus the media’s personality-driven narrative to a surprising look at property tax relief hitting North Dakota mailboxes. We also sit down with Paul Fisher of Capstone Classical Academy to discuss the "miracle" of classical education in Fargo, and catch up with Robbie Loft for a fascinating update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.

		<description><![CDATA[In this Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind, the discussion centers on a "wacky world" grappling with a surge of disturbing headlines. From the mysterious investigation at Brown University to the tragic aftermath of the terror attacks in Australia, the show explores how "deadly political correctness" and identity politics are preventing the West from speaking truth to power about Islamist ideology. The episode features a deep dive into the financial markets with David Fisher, who analyzes the Federal Reserve's latest moves and predicts a "golden era" for precious metals. Gun rights expert John Lott joins to provide data-driven insights into the failure of strict gun control in Australia and the positive shift at the DOJ under the new administration. The hour wraps up with a look at local healthcare advancements in rural North Dakota and a candid conversation about Donald Trump’s controversial social media post regarding the late Rob Reiner. Standout Moments: The Failure of Incompetence in Providence: The crew breaks down the "clown show" investigation at Brown University, questioning why authorities are refusing to release what the shooter shouted before unleashing terror. Money, Markets, and Fed Predictions: David Fisher, CEO of Landmark Capital, discusses the Fed's quarter-point rate cut and predicts that the next Fed chairman—likely a "Kevin"—will drive rates even lower in 2026. The "Quantitative Swear Word": Fisher explains how his prediction of the Fed buying government debt came true in just 24 hours, though they are calling it "reserve management purchases" instead of quantitative easing. John Lott on the Australian Gun Confiscation: Dr. John Lott provides a historical reality check on Australia's 1996 gun confiscation, arguing that the policy was counterproductive and statistically misrepresented. DOJ Shakeup for the Second Amendment: News of a new section within the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ aimed at protecting Second Amendment rights, which Lott argues is essential for protecting minorities and the poor. Street-Smart Survival Tips: A range safety expert calls in with practical advice on "situational awareness," including the benefits of pepper gel over spray and a clever self-defense trick using car keys. Healthcare Expansion in rural North Dakota: Fred Fridley of Sanford Health details how North Dakota is bucking the national trend by adding 36 new hospital beds and expanding preventative services like endoscopy.

		<description><![CDATA[Guest host Kevin Flynn is flying solo for Scott Hennen on "What's On Your Mind," joined by North Dakota patriots Leon Francis and Jamie "Ruger" Brecht for a "Talk Radio Town Hall" on the Second Amendment and pressing issues. The show starts with a giveaway and a segment dedicated to Matthews Voice Project, a Fargo-Moorhead nonprofit helping students experiencing homelessness. The main focus shifts to the national stage with discussions on the threats posed by the open southern border, the perceived danger of unvetted migrants and potential terrorist cells, and the need for American unity. A significant portion of the conversation is dedicated to the Medicaid and food stamp fraud allegedly committed by elements within the Somali community, which the host and guests argue is a massive, multi-state, multi-billion dollar problem. The guests, advocates for the Second Amendment, discuss the "lunacy" of proposed gun control laws in Minnesota and mock the term "common-sense gun laws," arguing the focus should be on enforcing existing laws and addressing the underlying issue of criminal behavior. They criticize Minnesota's political environment, citing an instance where a congressman called the killing of a National Guardsman a mere "unfortunate accident". The segment concludes with calls from listeners concerned about the growing influence of Socialism and Islamism in America. Standout Moments: Helping Homeless Students: Interview with Callie Bakken from Matthews Voice Project, which supports over 1,000 homeless students in the Fargo-Moorhead metro area Medicaid/Somali Fraud: Playing audio of an Ohio attorney-whistleblower detailing massive Medicaid fraud schemes in the Somali community, calling Minnesota "the tip of the spear" Congressman's "Accident": Outrage over Congressman Benny Thompson calling the terrorist-related killing of a National Guardsman an "unfortunate accident" Critique of "Common Sense" Gun Laws: The host and guests argue that the term "common-sense gun laws" is meaningless and distracting from the enforcement of existing legislation Immigrant Infiltration: Discussing fears of Al-Qaeda cells and extremists entering the U.S., with one guest suggesting they could "assimilate as first responders" during a mass casualty event Tim Walz Mocked: A listener calls in to mock Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's apparent lack of gun knowledge when pushing for gun control]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Thursday episode, Kevin Flynn hosts solo for Scott Hennen (who is on a DC listener trip), with a special appearance by Jay Thomas. The discussion heats up over local Fargo politics, the massive Somali fraud case in Minnesota, and a judge who overturned a related conviction. They also delve into the legal controversy surrounding Fargo's needle exchange program. Fargo/Minnesota Corruption & Fraud Needle Exchange Controversy (0:04:36 - 0:05:14): Fargo City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg's investigation reveals that the Harm Reduction Center has handed out over one million syringes in two years, with 300,000 unreturned. Kev and Jay criticize the program as "enabling" drug use. Massive Somali Fraud and Treason (0:06:55 - 0:08:16): Discussion turns to the widespread Somali fraud in Minnesota, noting the multiple-wives-and-benefits scam and a former TSA agent's claim of weekly cash-filled suitcases leaving the Minneapolis airport. A caller and the hosts link the activities of the Democratic Party and figures like George Soros to treason. Woke Judge Overturns Fraud Conviction (0:12:44 - 0:13:58): Jay Thomas and a texter discuss a "woke judge," Sarah West, in Minnesota who overturned a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud conviction against Fata Yusef and his wife, a decision that has sparked widespread outrage, with even Attorney General Ellison planning an appeal. The Problem with Fargo's Needle Program Legality (0:20:53 - 0:22:15): The hosts investigate the legality of the city distributing paraphernalia. Jay finds that state or local laws authorize syringe services programs (SSPs), providing an exemption for participants and staff from drug paraphernalia laws, a decision approved by Republican-led lawmakers in North Dakota. Local Fargo & Regional Issues Fargo Mayor Mahoney's Failures (0:15:20 - 0:16:32): A caller criticizes Fargo Mayor Mahoney for "gone off the rails," particularly concerning his handling of the Harwood annexation issue with Applied Digital and pushing for a questionable $93 million "affordable living" apartment complex. Tyreek Jones Debacle (0:28:09 - 0:29:43): Kev and Jay discuss the Fargo police's handling of the multiple murder case prime suspect, Tyreek Jones. After four months in hiding, Jones was arrested, questioned, and released when his version of events matched security footage, despite having outstanding warrants. 🏒 Giveaways, Outdoors, and Culture UND Hockey Ticket Giveaway (0:01:46 - 0:02:19): Kevin announces a giveaway for UND Hockey tickets: a four-pack for Friday and a pair for Saturday.

		<description><![CDATA[Host Kevin Flynn, filling in for Scott Hennen, leads a lively discussion on "What's On Your Mind," covering everything from winter weather and local attractions to national politics and personal finance. The show opens with local news, including the favorable LRC forecast for snow totals this winter and the ranking of Devil's Lake as the number one ice fishing destination in the US. The main focus, however, is the economy, featuring clips from economist Steve Moore and a call from a listener, Dave Hughes, who both dissect the financial landscape, particularly the impact of tax cuts, government spending, and the high cost of living in "blue states." Listeners weigh in heavily via text and calls on a range of topics, including the need for more diesel refineries, the controversy surrounding the Minneapolis police chief's stance on ICE, and the alleged political activities of Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar. A former Congressional candidate and a current State Senate candidate for Minnesota's District 4 call in to share their perspectives on the state's political climate. A special remote check-in from Scott Hennen provides a quick update on a listener Christmas tour in Washington D.C., highlighting visits to the Smithsonian museums, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Lincoln Memorial. In the final segment, Kevin is joined by money manager Brian Cronk to discuss market trends, the impact of recent political news on the economy, and the crucial habits of financial discipline, such as paying down debt and investing early, to secure long-term wealth. Standout Moments 0:00:46: Discussion of the LRC weather forecast, predicting 80-90% of average snow totals this winter. 0:01:21: Shoutout to Devil's Lake for being ranked the #1 ice fishing destination in the US. 0:03:00: Economist Steve Moore discusses the "red-hot" economy and the upcoming tax cuts, claiming the average middle-class family will pay $$1,500$ to $$2,000$ less in income taxes in 2026. 0:04:19: Dave Hughes calls in, agreeing with the economic optimism but arguing that the core problem of Congressional spending is "completely broken." 0:10:04: A listener, Andrew, calls in expressing disappointment over the Zach Brown Band's recent performance imagery at the Vegas Sphere, claiming they've "gone to the woke side." 0:16:32: Scott Hennen checks in from Washington D.C. with an update on the listener Christmas tour, mentioning visits to Arlington National Cemetery and a special briefing at the White House political shop. 0:22:42: Brian Cronk joins to discuss the market, agreeing…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen's last show before a DC trip is packed with updates on the Minnesota fraud scandal, a new outlook for North Dakota's higher education system, and a detailed long-range weather forecast that predicts a stormy winter and spring. Standout Moments LRC Long-Range Weather Forecast (0:47:00) Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki breaks down the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) for the next several months, based on a roughly 60-day cycle. He confirms a stormy winter is ahead, predicting: [cite_start] December: Active weather with noteworthy storms on December 12th–14th and right before Christmas, December 23rd–26th.   [cite_start] January/February: Two large spikes in snowfall: January 29th–February 1st and February 6th–12th.   [cite_start] Spring: A spike in active snowfall March 23rd–25th, followed by a likely return of wet conditions and flooding (last seen in October) into April and May.   [cite_start] Moisture Outlook: The state will see at or above normal snowfall this winter, eliminating drought worries.   Minnesota Fraud Total May Exceed $5 Billion (0:44:48) [cite_start]Senator John Kennedy's comments are highlighted, where he describes the fraud mess as making you "want to throw up in a potted plant". [cite_start]He notes that across three schemes (including the autism scam), crooks stole over $1 billion [cite_start]and estimates the fraud may go "north of five billion now".   Fraud on Autistic Children (0:43:25) [cite_start]Kennedy details the autism scam where providers offered Somali parents bribes to falsely certify their children as autistic to steal millions in welfare funds. [cite_start]He emphasizes that state authorities never checked the legitimacy of these operations "because the politicians wouldn't let them".   North Dakota Higher Education Vision (0:37:05) [cite_start] Brent Sanford, the new Commissioner (formerly Chancellor) of the North Dakota University System (NDUS) [cite_start], outlines his blueprint: transparency, accountability, and aligning higher education with state workforce needs.   [cite_start] Workforce: The stickiness factor for North Dakota high school grads getting a degree at NDUS and staying to work is 60% to 80%.   [cite_start] Tuition: NDUS tuition for 4-year schools is similar to surrounding states, but approximately 50% of the cost is subsidized by general funds.   The "Trump Voter Problem" Debate Continues (0:03:00) [cite_start]Listener Henry calls in to argue that Trump voters stay home when the former President isn't on the ballot because Republican leaders, like Senator Cramer, "cave" on issues like Obamacare, making them "deep state" and not worth voting for.

[cite_start]He emphasizes that state authorities never checked the legitimacy of these operations "because the politicians wouldn't let them".   North Dakota Higher Education Vision (0:37:05) [cite_start] Brent Sanford, the new Commissioner (formerly Chancellor) of the North Dakota University System (NDUS) [cite_start], outlines his blueprint: transparency, accountability, and aligning higher education with state workforce needs.   [cite_start] Workforce: The stickiness factor for North Dakota high school grads getting a degree at NDUS and staying to work is 60% to 80%.   [cite_start] Tuition: NDUS tuition for 4-year schools is similar to surrounding states, but approximately 50% of the cost is subsidized by general funds.   The "Trump Voter Problem" Debate Continues (0:03:00) [cite_start]Listener Henry calls in to argue that Trump voters stay home when the former President isn't on the ballot because Republican leaders, like Senator Cramer, "cave" on issues like Obamacare, making them "deep state" and not worth voting for. [cite_start]Scott counters that staying home is a "punch in the…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[On this Friday edition, Scott tackles the "head-scratcher" of why passionate Trump voters stay home when the former President isn't on the ballot, risking his second-term agenda. Senator Kevin Cramer joins the Talk Radio Town Hall to discuss the economy, military spending, and the healthcare battle. The show also covers the latest in the Minnesota fraud scandal and a police update in Fargo. Standout Moments Fargo Police Update on Tyreek Jones (0:00:05) The Fargo Police Department is holding a press conference at 11 a.m. to update the investigation involving 20-year-old Tyreek Jones. Jones is being released from Hennepin County Jail after providing information that helps "redirect the focus of the investigation to another individual as a potential suspect." The Perplexing Trump Voter Midterm Gap (0:01:45) Scott opens with a "complete head-scratcher": Why do full-throated Trump supporters who go to rallies and wear red hats not vote in midterm elections, thus risking the power base Trump needs in Congress and the Senate? A listener suggests it's because "nobody else is as exciting as Trump" (0:09:47). Call for Somali Community Leadership on Crime/Fraud (0:02:29) Scott questions why there are no "bold, honest conversations" from Somali leaders condemning the "large percentage" of the community taking advantage of government programs and being responsible for a "high percentage" of law-breaking in Minnesota, Ohio, and Maine. He calls on law-abiding Somalis to "police your own." Senator Cramer on Health Care Subsidies (0:16:00) Senator Kevin Cramer discusses the battle over health care, calling the Democrat-supported extension of "extremely generous bonuses to insurance executives disguised as subsidies" a program "wrought with fraud" (0:16:51). He suggests Republicans will offer an alternative that includes a short-term transition to provide premium support and income caps on subsidies (0:17:35). Terminating Biden's CAFE Standards (0:24:29) A clip of President Trump and Senator Cramer announcing the termination of the "ridiculously burdensome" CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards is played. Cramer says this single event is more important than the tax cuts for small businesses and will lead to an "escalation of economic opportunity" in 2026. Fargo's ARC on Developmental Disabilities (0:04:08) Jeff Anderson from The ARC of Cass County joins for "Feel-Good Friday." He explains that the ARC supports people with developmental disabilities, focusing on integration in the community and running two local thrift stores to cover operating expenses. They are currently dreaming of resources to help those who "fall between the cracks" of…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This episode of What's On Your Mind focuses on the deep-seated political and judicial problems in Minnesota, the national exposure of large-scale fraud, and the impact of government regulation. Scott also gets a weather update and discusses the volatile grain markets and civic engagement in North Dakota. Standout Moments Minnesota's Mess Goes National (0:01:07) [cite_start]Scott expresses amazement and gratitude that the massive fraud and corruption story in Minnesota is finally receiving national scrutiny. [cite_start]The corruption, starting with the Somali community and misusing welfare systems, is also noted to be happening in Maine and Michigan.   Keith Ellison's Involvement in the Fraud (0:16:03) Former GOP AG candidate Ron Schutz (mistakenly introduced as Ryan) details how Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison met with the soon-to-be-indicted "Feeding Our Future" fraudsters in December 2021, weeks before the federal raid. [cite_start]Ellison allegedly offered to "help" them after they complained about getting a hard time with grants. [cite_start]Ellison's focus is criticized as being on suing the Trump administration instead of fighting fraud in Minnesota.   The Judicial System's Role in Minnesota's Problems (0:23:05) [cite_start]Lieutenant Governor candidate Ryan Wilson (running with Lisa Damath) discusses the "soft on crime" judicial philosophy in Minnesota, noting that judges appointed by Democrats (including the last seven years by Tim Walz) are the problem. [cite_start]Wilson points to a $7.2 million fraud case where a judge overturned a jury's guilty verdict and a case where a convicted rapist was sentenced to only probation.   Predicting Paid Family Leave Fraud (0:18:48) [cite_start]Both Scott and Ron Schutz predict the new Minnesota paid family medical leave program, effective January 1st and allowing up to 20 weeks of paid leave per year, will be "riddled with fraud", potentially involving healthcare providers providing false documentation.   CAFE Standards and Affordability (0:11:34) [cite_start]Scott discusses the government's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, noting that President Trump is rolling back regulations that led to higher vehicle prices. [cite_start]He cites the CEO of Ford Motor Company who called the old rules "totally out of touch with the market reality" and confirms the rollback is a victory for affordability that will "bring car prices down"   The Long List of Taxes That Didn't Exist 100 Years Ago (0:12:47) [cite_start]Scott reads a long, poetic list of different taxes and regulatory fees—from property and income tax to sales and liquor tax—and states that none of these taxes existed 100 years ago, when the US…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Tuesday episode of What's On Your Mind covers global financial instability, the escalating conflict with narco-terrorists, and a heartfelt call for the community to attend the funeral of an unclaimed Marine veteran. The show also features an interview with a Minnesota-based journalist on the Tim Walz fraud scandal. Standout Moments   Financial Alarm Bells: Bear Market and AI Bubble Warnings (0:04:02) CEO David Fisher reports that market analysts, including those who predicted the 2000 dot-com bust and the 2008 crisis, are sounding the alarm about a potential bear market. [cite_start]He warns that the price-to-sales ratio for major AI stocks like Planterre is over $mathbf{107}$, which is two to three times higher than the dot-com bubble's peak, suggesting a potential bubble. National Debt Interest Payments Surpass 24% of Revenue (0:05:27) [cite_start]Fisher shares alarming U.S. Treasury data: the U.S. has entered the worst budget deficit at the start of a fiscal year in the nation's history. [cite_start]The interest payment on the national debt (now at over $1.24 trillion annually [cite_start]) consumes 24 cents of every dollar in revenue, suggesting the only way to avoid systemic collapse is through "perpetual monetary expansion" (quantitative easing). Gold and Silver Outperforming Stock Market Indexes (0:07:22) As a response to monetary instability, gold is up $61%$ year-to-date and silver is up $96%$ year-to-date. [cite_start]Fisher notes that gold is currently outperforming the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ combined (which are up less than $50%$ in total). Community Asked to Attend Unclaimed Veteran's Funeral (0:22:36) [cite_start]Commander Jason Hicks announces a service for an unaccompanied veteran, Ricky Allen Boyd, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served from 1977 to 1980 and has no known family or friends. [cite_start]The public is invited to attend the funeral tomorrow, 2:00 p.m. at the Fargo National Cemetery, to honor his service. Drug Runner Strikes: Democrats Accused of "Treason" (0:11:43) [cite_start]The hosts and callers criticize Democratic leaders and media figures (like Joe Scarborough) for characterizing the U.S. military's strikes on drug-running boats (coke boats) as "war crimes". [cite_start]The hosts argue the pushback is political "Trump derangement syndrome" and "treason", as they are defending "murderous drug dealers in boats sending drugs to kill Americans". Minnesota Fraud: Whistleblowers Feared Retaliation (0:28:01) [cite_start]Minnesota journalist Dustin Grage reports that whistleblowers—some of whom are Somali—did not initially come forward in the Minnesota fraud case (which has 76 charged individuals from the Horn of Africa [cite_start]) because they feared retaliation from…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this post-Thanksgiving episode, the hosts dive into a highly charged discussion of President Trump's recent comments and social media posts, particularly those directed at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and a reporter. They also welcome a decorated Marine veteran to discuss his new school safety technology. Standout Moments   Vikings Fail, Trump Fires Back (0:01:06) The hosts briefly lament the "miserable" performance of the Minnesota Vikings, which they attribute to being heavily "banged up." This leads into a discussion of President Trump's comments over the weekend, including a controversial exchange with a reporter and a social media post where he used the "R word" to describe Governor Tim Walz. Marine Veteran Develops Active Shooter Technology (0:22:58) Decorated Marine veteran Ernie Williams discusses his company, Go to Green, which provides technology to secure schools and other vulnerable locations. The system uses flashing green/red lights to direct people away from a shooter's location immediately upon detection. Go to Green Investment by Kevin O'Leary (0:26:29) Williams mentions that his company, Go to Green, secured investment from Kevin O'Leary's O'Leary Ventures, which is also invested in North Dakota businesses. Minnesota State Employees Allege Walz Retaliated Against Whistleblowers (0:29:21) The hosts read a detailed statement from alleged Department of Human Services employees in Minnesota. The statement claims Governor Tim Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud" and "systematically retaliated against whistleblowers" to keep fraud reports quiet, fearing they might "discriminate against certain communities" Gas Prices Dip Below $3.00 Nationally (0:34:03) A CNN report is played announcing that national gas prices are averaging below $3.00 a gallon for the first time in four and a half years, which the hosts jokingly suggest is why the media is distracting with other news. Tim Walz Responds to Trump’s Insults (0:31:59) The hosts play audio of Governor Tim Walz deflecting questions about the fraud allegations by attacking President Trump's mental capacity, medical records, and "ranting... crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving".  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This pre-Thanksgiving edition of What's on Your Mind with Scott Hennen features an annual listener survey on turkey preference, a historical segment on Thanksgiving, an update on North Dakota's higher education and farm economy, and a discussion on solving homelessness. Standout Moments   Annual Turkey Survey: White Meat vs. Dark Meat (0:01:42) The hosts kick off their annual survey asking listeners for their preference: white meat or dark meat for Thanksgiving. [cite_start]They also added a second question this year: turkey, ham, or both. Rush Limbaugh on the True Story of Thanksgiving (0:03:55) [cite_start]The show plays a segment from Rush Limbaugh arguing that the Pilgrims' initial "common store" system (a "commune" and "forerunner to the communes we saw in the 60s and 70s") failed due to a lack of incentive, leading to discontent and near starvation. [cite_start]Prosperity arrived only after they scrapped this "socialism" experiment and implemented private property and free enterprise. University of Minnesota's "Whiteness Pandemic" Curriculum (0:06:17) [cite_start]The hosts discuss a reported University of Minnesota curriculum teaching that America suffers from a "whiteness pandemic" and that white parents must "re-educate" their children because "family life are a source of the systemic racism". North Dakota's $400 Million Farm Relief Program (0:22:21) [cite_start]Governor Kelly Armstrong announces a new $400 million farm relief program from the Industrial Commission and the Bank of North Dakota. The program includes: [cite_start] $300 Million for a traditional Farm Loan Disaster Program to refinance and restructure debt at an interest rate of $3.75%$, utilizing high land values. [cite_start] $100 Million for a grain storage loan program to allow producers to hold their crop until prices improve. Critique of "Housing First" and "Harm Reduction" Policies (0:29:29) [cite_start]Author Mary Thoreau critiques the federal "Housing First" policy, noting that after 12 years, homelessness has only gone up. [cite_start]She argues the policy is based on the false premise that homelessness is only a housing issue, ignores root causes (like mental illness and addiction), and makes people wait a year to prove their homelessness, worsening their condition. Transformative Solution: Haven for Hope (0:31:05) [cite_start]As a model for a "transformative solution," Thoreau highlights Haven for Hope in San Antonio, Texas: a 22-acre campus where 100 service providers are coordinated to address every need, including mental health and recovery. [cite_start]She estimates roughly 80% of the homeless population has some sort of addiction and/or mental health issue.

		<description><![CDATA[Hosts Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn broadcast live from the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo Chamber Energy Summit, dedicating the show to energy policy, the fight for educational freedom in North Dakota, and a deep dive into the politically charged debate surrounding health insurance premiums, government subsidies, and rising healthcare costs. ⏱️ Standout Moments   Energy Workforce: The Graying Grid (0:02:54): Katherine Warren of Otter Tail Power Company highlights a critical workforce challenge: approximately 25% of the utility industry will be eligible for retirement in the next 5–10 years, making recruitment and training essential. ND's Poor Education Choice Rank (0:06:04): Headmaster Paul Fisher of Capstone Classical Academy reveals that North Dakota ranks 48th out of 50 states for educational freedom and choice, arguing that excessive state regulation forces private schools to mirror public schools, hindering innovation. Democrats' "Treasonous" Military Video (0:13:30): The hosts react to a video where Democratic members of Congress, including former military personnel, explicitly encourage active members of the military to defy orders from the Trump administration if they perceive them as "illegal." Insurance Subsidies and Profits (0:23:55): North Dakota Insurance Commissioner John Godfrey addresses President Trump's criticism of subsidized health insurance premiums, noting the subsidies insulate consumers from rising healthcare costs, but delay real reform on the price drivers. Xcel's Future Energy Mix: Nuke is Key (0:31:17): Xcel Energy President Bria Shea states that their diverse future energy mix includes a strong nuclear fleet (25% of energy mix) that runs 24/7 and carbon-free, and they are actively looking to build new nuclear plants in North Dakota. The AI/Energy National Security Race (0:35:43): Stacey Dahl of Minn Kota Power and the host discuss the top national security priority: winning the AI race, which hinges on building out the energy infrastructure (intelligence factories) in the Midwest. Data Centers Do Not Increase Rates (If Done Right) (0:34:04): Xcel Energy affirms that data centers do not increase electricity rates for current consumers if the partnerships are done right, ensuring the data center pays its own way and helps absorb fixed system costs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This episode of "What's On Your Mind" features host Scott Hennen discussing the roles of the church and government in immigration, the disturbing lack of transparency in the Thomas Crooks investigation, and an in-depth financial segment on gold, stable coins, and the national debt. The show also features a conversation with NDSU President David Cook about his departure for Iowa State. ⏱️ Standout Moments   Stable Coins are not Stable (0:04:45): David Fisher of Landmark Gold discusses "stable coins" being backed by U.S. Treasury bills, questioning their stability when the Treasury market is down, and notes that one stable coin is backed by gold. The Debt Crisis and Gold's Future (0:05:40): Discussion of the U.S. hitting another record debt after the largest spending in history, which is tied to the correlation of debt going up and gold going up, with a target of $8,000 to $10,000 for gold. The Hidden Treasury Story (0:06:20): Analysis reveals that foreigners who bought U.S. Treasury bills are down 18% to 20% year-to-date, signaling a potential financial calamity around the dollar within the next one to five years. Trump and Revaluing Gold to Run the Fed (0:07:37): Commentary on the incentive for President Trump to revalue gold, which could add up to $5 trillion to the balance sheet, effectively taking control of the monetary system away from the Federal Reserve, similar to 1934. The Crooks Investigation "Stinks" (0:10:43): The host expresses frustration and suspicion over the lack of forthcoming information from the FBI/Secret Service regarding Thomas Crooks, the attempted Trump assassin, noting that basic investigative steps were not taken and that Crooks' anti-Trump online activity was omitted from initial reports. Church vs. State on Immigration (0:12:12): The host welcomes former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican, Francis Rooney, to discuss the different roles of the Catholic Church (a "field hospital") and the federal government (enforcing laws) in the illegal immigration crisis. NDSU President's "Gut-Wrenching" Departure (0:29:43): NDSU President Dr. David Cook discusses the difficult decision to leave for the presidency of Iowa State, his alma mater, but expresses pride in tackling NDSU's financial challenges by running the institution "like a business." Higher Ed's Workforce Success (0:30:48): Dr. Cook shares a key statistic: over 80% of NDSU's North Dakota students stay in the state after graduation, and nearly half of out-of-state students (especially from Minnesota) remain in North Dakota for the workforce.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Veterans Day edition of What's On Your Mind focuses on honoring America's veterans and tackling pressing local and national issues. Host Scott Hannon pushes for ways to better celebrate Veterans Day, moving beyond simply closing schools. The program also features an alarming discussion about the "harm reduction" policies in Fargo aimed at the homeless population, and an interview with Senator John Hoeven on the end of the government shutdown and the battle over spending. Financial expert David Fisher also provides an update on the rising markets, the 50-year mortgage idea, and the growing global challenge posed by BRICS nations.   Standout Moments Better Ways to Honor Veterans: The host suggests opening schools on Veterans Day so students can host a veteran speaker, visit a veterans home , or otherwise use public education to honor those who served. Listeners call and text in to share appreciation and service stories, including a powerful one from General Mike Haugen about seeing the Northern Lights while flying exercises with the Happy Hooligans. "Harm Reduction" Madness and the "Boofing Kit": Fargo City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg joins to slam the city's "harm reduction" policy for the homeless population, calling it "cruel" and woke. She expresses outrage over taxpayer money being used to provide tools for drug abuse, including a horrifying item described as a "boofing kit" for the transrectal transmission of drugs. Government Shutdown Ends: The $1.5 Trillion Fight: Senator John Hoeven discusses the end of the 40-day government shutdown , stating the core reason for the delay was Democrats demanding $1.5 trillion in more spending. He credits the passage of appropriations bills and the hard-line stance of Republicans for forcing the Democrats to crack. Obamacare Driving Up Costs: Senator Hoeven breaks down the core problem with the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), explaining that its costs are going up so fast that Democrats introduced "enhanced advanced premium tax credits" (direct payments to insurance companies) to mask the rising medical inflation. The 50-Year Mortgage Math: David Fisher provides a sobering breakdown of a potential 50-year mortgage on an average $415,000 home. While it saves $236 monthly compared to a 30-year loan, the total interest paid doubles from $384,000 to $753,000. BRICS Challenge to the US Dollar: Fisher outlines the growing global force of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). They've doubled their membership, and 185 countries now use the BRICS payment system to conduct transactions…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This episode of What's On Your Mind broadcasts live from the Lignite Energy Council's annual meeting in Bismarck, North Dakota, focusing heavily on the state's energy industry, the threat and opportunity of AI, and the national debate over the Senate filibuster. Host Scott Hannon speaks with energy experts about clean coal, carbon capture technology, and the battle against over-regulation. The show also features an in-depth conversation with Dr. Terry Pilling, Dean of Engineering at the University of Mary, about critical thinking, AI, and the demand for skilled engineers.   🎙️ Standout Moments The Fight for Coal and Energy Independence: The host opens with the story of Great River Energy selling its efficient North Dakota coal plant to Rainbow Energy for just $1 because the Minnesota-based co-op was "woke," highlighting the regulatory attacks on affordable, reliable energy. China, in contrast, is building coal plants weekly. [0:00:54 - 0:02:29]. The Filibuster Debate: The show repeatedly takes calls and texts on the filibuster, with host Scott Hannon wrestling with the idea of eliminating the 60-vote rule. While Republicans like Stephen Miller push for its end to advance the GOP agenda, Hannon fears Democrats would use it to pack the Supreme Court and add new blue states like D.C. and Puerto Rico. [0:03:36 - 0:05:07] and [0:08:58 - 0:09:44]. CO2 as a Commodity: The Bakken 2.0: Mike Holmes and Jonathan Fortner of the Lignite Energy Council explain that capturing industrial CO2 is key to a "Bakken 2.0". The CO2 is used in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) to extract an estimated three to seven additional billion barrels of oil , generating billions in state revenue and keeping electricity costs low and the air clean. [0:16:03 - 0:17:11] and [0:24:20 - 0:26:08]. Rare Earth Minerals Opportunity: Jonathan Fortner discusses how North Dakota's lignite coal contains rare earth elements like germanium and gallium. Mining these minerals—currently 95% controlled by China —is a national security imperative and a massive opportunity to disrupt China's dominance. [0:21:49 - 0:23:09]. AI and Critical Thinking in Engineering: Dr. Terry Pilling, Dean of the Hamm School of Engineering at the University of Mary, discusses the future of the workforce amid AI. He stresses that while AI provides instant knowledge, the future will demand critical thinking and creativity, as AI is a "stochastic parrot" that only collates existing data. The school offers a unique course, "Engineering in Ancient Rome," which culminates in a two-week…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this Monday edition, the hosts choose "joy" as the word of the day despite the ongoing political and global turmoil. The show heavily focuses on the latest developments in Washington, D.C., with the impending end of the government shutdown and the underlying fight over healthcare, particularly the costs and fraud associated with Obamacare. Guests include Flag Family Ag Director Bridget Riedel with updates on the struggling farm economy and Sanford Health's Dr. Todd Schaefer discussing veteran care. The hosts also take listener calls and comments on local politics, the filibuster, and honoring veterans. Standout Moments: Time Description 1:05 Host criticizes Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for focusing on non-essential issues instead of crime, referring to the fraud in Somali communities. 3:20 Discussion on China's three-year commitment to buying U.S. soybeans and the extended opportunity for U.S. farmers into the new year. 5:58 Conversation on whether the current farm economy is like the 1980s crisis, noting that high input costs are the major new challenge. 7:48 Report that the Senate test vote of 60-40 opens the door to passing an amended Continuing Resolution (CR) to reopen the government until January 30th. 8:27 Speaker Mike Johnson confirms the CR includes fully funding SNAP provisions through September 2026 and back pay for federal workers. 9:02 The host promotes tickets for the Brian Kilmeade and Jimmy Fela tribute to Charlie Kirk event, offering free tickets to those who bring a veteran or student. 10:11 Senator Kevin Cramer highlights that air travel is "grinded to a halt" with nearly half of all U.S. domestic flights canceled or delayed due to air traffic controllers calling in sick. 12:44 Cramer explains the government shutdown breakthrough: a deal for Tim Kaine to support the bill in exchange for the White House agreeing not to fire federal workers. 14:48 Discussion on Donald Trump's idea to give money directly to patients for health savings accounts, rather than to insurance companies. 16:33 World War II veteran and Sanford Health CEO Dr. Todd Schaefer discusses Sanford's industry-leading programs and hiring preference for veterans. 17:41 Fargo resident expresses outrage over the city handing out 5,000 glass drug pipes as part of a "harm reduction" program. 19:25 Audio clip of Jonathan Gruber, the architect of Obamacare, calling the American voter "stupid" and admitting the lack of transparency was a huge political advantage.]]></description>

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[In this Monday edition, the hosts choose "joy" as the word of the day despite the ongoing political and global turmoil. The show heavily focuses on the latest developments in Washington, D.C., with the impending end of the government shutdown and the underlying fight over healthcare, particularly the costs and fraud associated with Obamacare. Guests include Flag Family Ag Director Bridget Riedel with updates on the struggling farm economy and Sanford Health's Dr. Todd Schaefer discussing veteran care. The hosts also take listener calls and comments on local politics, the filibuster, and honoring veterans. Standout Moments: Time Description 1:05 Host criticizes Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for focusing on non-essential issues instead of crime, referring to the fraud in Somali communities. 3:20 Discussion on China's three-year commitment to buying U.S. soybeans and the extended opportunity for U.S. farmers into the new year. 5:58 Conversation on whether the current farm economy is like the 1980s crisis, noting that high input costs are the major new challenge. 7:48 Report that the Senate test vote of 60-40 opens the door to passing an amended Continuing Resolution (CR) to reopen the government until January 30th. 8:27 Speaker Mike Johnson confirms the CR includes fully funding SNAP provisions through September 2026 and back pay for federal workers. 9:02 The host promotes tickets for the Brian Kilmeade and Jimmy Fela tribute to Charlie Kirk event, offering free tickets to those who bring a veteran or student. 10:11 Senator Kevin Cramer highlights that air travel is "grinded to a halt" with nearly half of all U.S. domestic flights canceled or delayed due to air traffic controllers calling in sick. 12:44 Cramer explains the government shutdown breakthrough: a deal for Tim Kaine to support the bill in exchange for the White House agreeing not to fire federal workers. 14:48 Discussion on Donald Trump's idea to give money directly to patients for health savings accounts, rather than to insurance companies. 16:33 World War II veteran and Sanford Health CEO Dr. Todd Schaefer discusses Sanford's industry-leading programs and hiring preference for veterans. 17:41 Fargo resident expresses outrage over the city handing out 5,000 glass drug pipes as part of a "harm reduction" program. 19:25 Audio clip of Jonathan Gruber, the architect of Obamacare, calling the American voter "stupid" and admitting the lack of transparency was a huge political advantage.]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen, battling a cold and a "challenged voice", hosts a packed Monday show. The conversation begins with a quick recap of the Vikings' victory and a rant on the poorly managed public bus system (MAT) website. Dean Wysocki provides a mild weather forecast before the show dives into the persistent government shutdown, with Scott and a contributor analyzing the Democrats' "Kamikaze" political tactics and their fears of "Mom Donnie" and the radical left. Congressman Julie Fedorchak joins to fact-check the Democrat's claims about Obamacare premiums and SNAP benefits. The episode features two major interviews: Pat Query discusses the opening of the All American Trail in Fargo, a new entry-level recreational single-track path. Later, Kyle "Bubba" Schweigert, former UND Head Coach, offers inspirational thoughts on leadership, focusing on the virtues of excellence, courage, and humility. The segment on "Park It for a Purpose" highlights the Fix-It-Forward Ministry, which provides transportation for those in need, and Scott's challenge to raise funds by not driving his vehicle. Standout Moments: Time Topic 2:20 Rant about the complicated MAT bus system website in Fargo/Moorhead 5:48 Pat Query discusses the opening of the All American Trail in Fargo 11:39 Michael Wood announces his run for Clay County GOP against Senator Rob Kupec, criticizing his constant "picking away at the Second Amendment" 19:15 Dean Wysocki's mild weather forecast: 50s all week until the weekend clipper system arrives 22:30 Discussion on the Democrat-led government shutdown, the role of "Mom Donnie," and the political firing squad 27:32 Tom Emmer's press conference on the shutdown, highlighting pain inflicted on Americans 35:28 Jeremy from Fix-It-Forward Ministry on the "Park It for a Purpose" fundraiser and providing transportation for single moms 41:20 Discussion of a contingency plan to impound unspent agency funds (Larry Kudlow's idea) to resolve the shutdown 45:10 Kyle "Bubba" Schweigert on leadership virtues: excellence, courage, and humility 50:18 Bubba Schweigert on transformational vs. transactional leadership in coaching 54:02 Congressman Julie Fedorchak fact-checks Democrat claims on skyrocketing Obamacare premiums and SNAP benefits]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This episode, broadcast mobile from Minnesota as the host heads back to North Dakota, focuses on the ongoing "Democrat shutdown" and the ideological war being waged against conservatives, particularly in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination. The host, Scott Hennen, and his guests, Congressman Dusty Johnson and Breitbart's Alex Marlow, argue that Democrats are using the shutdown as "leverage" for political gains. They discuss the "weaponization" of the legal system against Donald Trump, and the critical need for conservatives to win down-ballot elections. The episode also includes an interview with the NDSU Turning Point USA chapter president, highlighting the group's growth and upcoming events.   Standout Moments: Fargo PD's Efficiency in Reporting: Fargo Police Chief Dave Zabolsky clarifies that the department has not reduced the amount of calls they respond to, but has created efficiencies with an online reporting system. Since 2022, this system has handled nearly 7,500 crime reports, offsetting the need for two full-time officers per year. The Leverage Shutdown: Congressman Dusty Johnson and the host call the shutdown a "base management exercise" for Chuck Schumer. They state that Republicans have the moral high ground, with a recent CNN poll showing their net approval rating up five points , but must resist caving to $$1.5$ trillion in spending and "goodies" like Medicaid for illegal immigrants. Weaponization of the Legal System: Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discusses his new book, "Breaking the Law," which details the six major cases against President Trump. He argues that the onslaught of legal action is designed to make it virtually impossible for Trump to campaign for office. The Future of Conservative Media: Marlow explains that the digital ad market was "reset" by a liberal advertiser boycott against Breitbart after 2016, leading to a shift toward donor-driven "philanthropic journalism" to fund important, long-form stories. South Dakota's Economic Slump: Congressman Johnson states that South Dakota's economy has shrunk by 3% in the last six months, placing the state in a "technical recession," and has fallen to 35th best state for business according to CNBC. NDSU's Turning Point Growth: NDSU Turning Point USA chapter President Hayden Smith reports a significant increase in membership, from 70 registered members before Charlie Kirk's death to 120-130 now, with meeting attendance nearly doubling.

		<description><![CDATA[In this dynamic episode of What’s On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen welcomes a powerhouse lineup — from Fargo’s Mayor Tim Mahoney to investor Paul Polanjan of O’Leary Ventures and media personality Brian Kilmeade — for a jam-packed conversation on politics, opportunity, and the soul of North Dakota. Mayor Mahoney shares the city’s big shift toward recovery-based community services and pushes back on claims about reduced police response. Meanwhile, business leaders and investors spotlight North Dakota as a “hidden gem” of American innovation — poised to lead the next wave in tech, energy, and defense. From the “Politics on a Plate” lunch series to a $15 million green pig-iron plant in Minot, and from Turning Point USA events to the economic vision of Kevin O’Leary, this episode captures a state on the rise — and the personalities shaping its future. Standout Moments & Timestamps: 00:03 – Scott opens with the day’s agenda: civic engagement, city updates, and a packed guest list. 07:10 – Carter Eisinger of Cass County Republicans explains how grassroots endorsements shape local elections. 14:45 – The “Politics on a Plate” tradition: where brisket meets political dialogue. 20:20 – Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney details plans for the new Resource and Recovery Center — a compassionate, treatment-focused alternative to downtown engagement programs. 26:30 – Mahoney refutes rumors about police cuts and reassures listeners about the city’s fiscal health. 33:00 – Investor Paul Polanjan joins to discuss why O’Leary Ventures sees North Dakota as “the tip of the spear” for U.S. innovation. 38:00 – Inside the $15M “green pig-iron” project in Minot — reshaping American steel and national security. 45:15 – Brian Kilmeade and Scott riff on leadership, Trump’s second term, and America’s shifting political landscape. 53:40 – Closing thoughts: optimism, opportunity, and why “speed kills” in business and politics alike.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind dives into the escalating political and financial turmoil facing the country. Host Scott Hennen and guest David Fisher of Landmark Capital discuss the Federal Reserve's potential rate cuts and the national debt hitting $38 trillion. Fisher warns that the debt is causing the world to back away from U.S. Treasuries and discusses the potential for a "coming bail-in" on retirement funds, from which physical gold and silver would be insulated.   A large part of the show is dedicated to the "Schumer Shutdown," as Speaker Mike Johnson and Congresswoman Lisa McClain explain that Democrats have voted 13 times to keep the government closed as a form of "leverage". This political tactic is expected to cause 42 million Americans to lose SNAP benefits by Saturday. Hennen condemns the Democrats' tactics as "cruel and disgusting" and "stone cold bat guano goofy".   In the second half, the host is joined by Captain Brian Newin for "Trooper Talk", focusing on the critical importance of wearing seatbelts in all situations. The discussion is prompted by a fatal accident on 10th Street in Fargo and Newin announces an upcoming nationwide "clicker ticket" enforcement project from November 1st to December 11th. They tackle common myths about seatbelt safety , with one caller sharing a personal outlier story of surviving a bad crash because he wasn't wearing one. The show concludes with Ron Ness of the North Dakota Petroleum Council detailing the state's $45 million investment in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) research to "crack the code" on getting more oil from the Bakken field.     Standout Moments: 0:08:14 - Host questions the motives of Democrats extending the government shutdown to inflict "pain" for "leverage".   0:15:02 - Congresswoman Lisa McClain emphasizes that 42 million Americans will lose SNAP benefits by Saturday due to the political standoff.   0:17:10 - Mike Johnson explains the unprecedented use of an "auto pen" by the Biden administration to sign documents, including executive orders.   0:24:34 - Captain Brian Newin addresses a fatal car accident in Fargo and announces a nationwide seatbelt enforcement project from November 1st to December 11th.   0:29:43 - A caller shares a personal story of surviving a bad crash because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt (an outlier case).   0:34:49 - Ron Ness of the North Dakota Petroleum Council announces a $45 million state investment in Enhanced Oil…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This episode of What's On Your Mind kicks off with host Scott Hennen recounting his jarring weekend experience speaking at Pontopetan Church in downtown Fargo. The church, which has broadcast its service for 70 years, invited Hennen to speak to celebrate the anniversary. Though he intended to show respect, the visit took a sharp turn after his own 10-minute speech when the pastor's sermon began. Hennen felt intensely uncomfortable, describing the sermon as a public "ripping" of him and the Catholic Church and an attack on his conservative positions, including his criticism of the city's Community Engagement Center. The host plays audio of his own remarks, inviting listeners to critique them. He then shares snippets of the pastor's sermon, which he perceived as "Catholic bashing" and a "strawman fallacy," leading him to leave the service abruptly. Hennen was further frustrated when he found the church doors locked as he tried to re-enter for his forgotten coat, calling it a metaphor for the unwelcoming nature of the ELCA Church.     Ag Report and Fargo City Action The discussion shifts to Hennen's "ag report" on the perilous economic situation facing farmers and ranchers, noting that low prices and high input costs are hurting row crop folks, though he notes rancher prices are up. He addresses comparisons to the 1980s farm crisis, arguing that high land values mean the current situation isn't as severe because farmers still have significant assets on their balance sheets. Hennen also expresses his belief that trade deals, such as the one with Argentina involving beef purchases, ultimately serve a "greater good" and that farmers should "Be calm, trust Trump" because he is working to increase demand and higher prices for American agriculture.   Hennen also mentions his concern over Fargo's poorly named Community Engagement Center across from the church, noting he saw two people freezing outside the closed center on a Sunday morning. He argues that government is not equipped to provide the necessary care and that the people need prayer. He reports that the Fargo City Commission is scheduled to vote that very night on moving the center's services out of the area, and he hopes for a 5-0 vote.   Documentary, Veterans Feed, and Tax Policy Later, Hennen interviews filmmaker Corey Hepler about the docuseries My Town, which is premiering its second season. The season premiere will feature Watford City, North Dakota, highlighting the growth…]]></description>

Hennen also expresses his belief that trade deals, such as the one with Argentina involving beef purchases, ultimately serve a "greater good" and that farmers should "Be calm, trust Trump" because he is working to increase demand and higher prices for American agriculture.   Hennen also mentions his concern over Fargo's poorly named Community Engagement Center across from the church, noting he saw two people freezing outside the closed center on a Sunday morning. He argues that government is not equipped to provide the necessary care and that the people need prayer. He reports that the Fargo City Commission is scheduled to vote that very night on moving the center's services out of the area, and he hopes for a 5-0 vote.   Documentary, Veterans Feed, and Tax Policy Later, Hennen interviews filmmaker Corey Hepler about the docuseries My Town, which is premiering its second season.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[This episode of What's On Your Mind kicks off with host Scott Hennen recounting his jarring weekend experience speaking at Pontopetan Church in downtown Fargo. The church, which has broadcast its service for 70 years, invited Hennen to speak to celebrate the anniversary. Though he intended to show respect, the visit took a sharp turn after his own 10-minute speech when the pastor's sermon began. Hennen felt intensely uncomfortable, describing the sermon as a public "ripping" of him and the Catholic Church and an attack on his conservative positions, including his criticism of the city's Community Engagement Center. The host plays audio of his own remarks, inviting listeners to critique them. He then shares snippets of the pastor's sermon, which he perceived as "Catholic bashing" and a "strawman fallacy," leading him to leave the service abruptly. Hennen was further frustrated when he found the church doors locked as he tried to re-enter for his forgotten coat, calling it a metaphor for the unwelcoming nature of the ELCA Church.     Ag Report and Fargo City Action The discussion shifts to Hennen's "ag report" on the perilous economic situation facing farmers and ranchers, noting that low prices and high input costs are hurting row crop folks, though he notes rancher prices are up.

		<description><![CDATA[The "What's On Your Mind" crew tackles a mix of sports frustration and political analysis. The episode kicks off with the hosts lamenting the Minnesota Vikings' latest loss, focusing heavily on the offensive line struggles and Carson Wentz's lack of protection. They dive into whether the team was "outcoached" and joke about the possibility of convincing a retired Jason Kelce to join the team. Shifting gears, the hosts discuss a pre-taped interview with Senator Kevin Cramer. Topics include the government shutdown, the energy sector, and North Dakota's role in national defense, particularly the transformation of Minot and Grand Forks Air Force Bases to counter threats from China. They also touch on Cramer's relationship with Donald Trump and a theory that US agriculture could "grow our own way out" of economic issues. Senator Cramer provides insight from his meeting with President Zelensky's chief of staff, discussing Trump's view of foreign policy through an economic lens. Finally, former NDSU and Wyoming coach Craig Bohl, now head of the Coaches Association, joins the show to discuss the major issues in college athletics, primarily the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) mess and the transfer portal. Coach Bohl highlights the exploitation of young players by predatory agents and the threat to the academic mission of college sports. He advocates for a national registration and salary cap for agents and a potential "buyout" system to compensate schools that develop players who transfer. Plus, the host gets his prediction for the NDSU vs. South Dakota football game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Political and Social Commentary The episode of "What's On Your Mind" kicks off with the host questioning his producer about the strategy for dealing with protesters at the "No Kings rally" to prevent them from distracting the show. He expresses a belief that the protesters suffer from "Trump derangement syndrome" (TDS) and sincerely prays for them. The host worries about the sign "8647" displayed by an acquaintance at the rally, questioning if it's "a little bridge too far" for a peaceful protest and alluding to a dark, potentially violent meaning. The host also addresses a combative caller, "Daryl," who criticizes President Trump's "America-first" policies, specifically a $40 billion deal with Argentina and a NATO Article 5-like guarantee for Qatar. The host defends these actions as "3-D chess" aimed at countering China and Russia. However, he is critical of the beef-related part of the Argentina deal, siding with farmers and senators like Kevin Cramer and Chuck Grassley who believe it disadvantages US agriculture. Economic and Financial Insights The show welcomes David Fisher, CEO of Landmark Capital, to discuss the economy. Fisher calms fears of an impending 2008-style financial crisis resulting from recent challenges in regional banks and the auto industry. He advises listeners to "relax" but anticipates a possible market correction of up to $10%$. Fisher reports significant gains in precious metals, noting that silver is up $80%$ and gold is up $62%$ year-to-date. He suggests that the rally is "just starting," citing the fact that central banks now own more gold than US Treasuries—a situation that preceded a major gold rally in the 1970s. He mentions predictions of gold reaching $5,000 to $10,000. He also reveals a "dramatic lack" of physical silver, causing a market squeeze. North Dakota Economy and Vision Brian Krashus, the North Dakota State Tax Commissioner, provides an update on the state's finances, noting a softening of collections due to less favorable pricing for most agricultural commodities and crude oil. Krashus rates his level of concern at a "three" on a scale of ten, but emphasizes the need to look beyond the current "bushel-barrel economy." Krashus shares exciting data on the potential of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), which could generate an incremental $3 billion to nearly $9 billion in revenue for North Dakota over a decade. The host speculates that this revenue, combined with the power needs of data centers and "intelligence factories," could make the…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scott Hennen tackles a wide range of topics, from personal news to national politics and local North Dakota issues. He discusses his upcoming birthday trip to Dallas and the legacy of Ross Perot, including a seven-figure donation by Ross Perot Jr. to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, ND. Agriculture is a key focus, with Farm Family Director Bridget Riedel outlining the current economic challenges for farmers, citing high input costs, rising equipment prices (up about 20% in the last three years), and wildly volatile fertilizer costs. The host also touches on local events like a split in the Sioux-Gopher hockey series and a pie auction for District 24 Republicans. The episode features two major interviews: Former Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH): Sununu joins to discuss his work as co-chair of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) Commission on America's Rural Future, which is holding field hearings in North Dakota and Minnesota this week to address the disconnect between federal programs and rural communities. He also clarifies his relationship with President Donald Trump. Congresswoman Julie Fedorchuk (R-ND): North Dakota's lone House member discusses the status of the government shutdown and the need for "pragmatic Democrats" to resolve the appropriations battle. She also gives an update on North Dakota's leadership in the growing counter-UAS and AI industries, emphasizing the state's energy resources as a huge opportunity. Plus, a segment with the Lions Club highlights their work in diabetes awareness and retinopathy screening]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Episode Summary: Host Scott Hennen dives into a packed Friday edition of "What's On Your Mind," starting with the excitement of the Sioux vs. Gophers hockey series in Grand Forks , which he calls the "Super Bowl of college hockey". Scott and co-host JT discuss the dynamic of cheering for their alma mater's opponent, and Scott reveals a kind gesture from Gophers coach Bob Motzko to former UND coach Brad Barry. They announce the winners of tickets to the games—the new Lego store in Fargo and Hot Spring Spas and Pool Tables Too (Hot Tub Vinny). This leads to the "Feel Good Friday" segment with Vince Webker (Hot Tub Vinny) , who discusses the wellness mission of his company, focused on making wellness a reality. Vince and Scott discuss the life-changing benefits and science behind hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. Vince also touches on sports, particularly the Vikings' upcoming game against the Eagles, predicting Carson Wentz will start at quarterback. The conversation shifts to politics, with a full hour scheduled with Senator Kevin Cramer to discuss the government shutdown. Scott shares a theory that the shutdown is tied to the timing of the "No Kings Rally" and plays a clip of Charlie Kirk debating a student on whether the Republican Party is controlled by billionaires, with Kirk arguing the wealthiest counties and many billionaires are actually on the left. Later, Scott interviews Dean Kyle Armitage of NDSCS Career and Technical Education about the value of trade careers—like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and culinary —and sponsorship programs with companies like Butler Machinery that help students work, get paid, and avoid loans. Finally, Senator Kevin Cramer joins the show to discuss the government shutdown , his desire to expose bureaucracy , the constitutional requirement for Congress to be paid , and answers listener questions on everything from congressional decorum to foreign aid, specifically mentioning a currency swap with Venezuela.   Standout Moments (Approximate Timestamps): 0:01: Scott Hennen's introduction and the excitement for the Sioux vs. Gophers rivalry, including Gopher Coach Bob Motzko's surprising, nice gesture to former UND coach Brad Barry. 0:08: "Feel Good Friday" with Vince Webker (Hot Tub Vinny) discussing the wellness benefits and science of hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges. 0:21: Scott details the theory that the government shutdown is tied to the timing of the "No Kings Rally". 0:31: Interview with Dean Kyle Armitage of NDSCS Career…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guest host Steve Hallstrom fills in for Scott Hennen, co-piloting with Kevin Flynn, covering the absurdity of the federal government shutdown as it stretches into its third week. The hosts play audio of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Citizens United President Dave Bossie, who blast Democrats for prioritizing wasteful foreign aid and special-interest spending over funding the military and border security. The hosts reveal a hidden facet of the trade war with China: a potential tariff on "used cooking oil" (gutter oil), which hurts U.S. soybean farmers. Steve then interviews Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls, an Army veteran and successful businessman, who presents a common-sense, three-part plan to defeat Tim Walz and restore "normal" to Minnesota by cutting taxes, fighting crime, and fixing education.   Political Hypocrisy and the Shutdown Democrat Sabotage: The hosts and guests condemn Democrats for engaging in "performative stunts" and holding out on a clean funding bill for "pure politics". They point out that Schumer’s stated goal is to "fix the health care crisis looming over the American people" , which the hosts believe is a fight solely to fund health care for illegal immigrants. Exposing Wasteful Spending: Mike Johnson and Dave Bossie list examples of the Democrats' "reckless" spending that Republicans are trying to cut, including: $24.6 million to "climate resilience in Honduras" $13.4 million for "civic engagement in Zimbabwe" $3.9 million for "LGBTQI democracy grants in the Balkans" Consequences for Americans: Farmers are unable to cash hundreds of thousands of dollars in checks because the FSA (Federal Crop Lending) offices are closed. Mike Johnson warns that the Democrats' choice is causing "real personal and economic strain" for troops, TSA, and air traffic controllers. Fetterman's Common Sense: Senator John Fetterman is praised as a reasonable Democrat for publicly stating that conservative Trump supporters are "not fascists" or trying to destroy the Constitution.   Trade, Agriculture, and China The Gutter Oil Threat: President Trump threatened to place a 100% tariff on goods, specifically "used cooking oil," coming from China. Hurting U.S. Farmers: This used cooking oil is often called "gutter oil" in China. While it is not imported for direct food use, it's used as a cheap ingredient (one-third the price of soybean oil) in biofuel production. The hosts and callers argue that banning this oil would boost demand and prices for U.S. soybeans. Bison Rankings: The NDSU Bison football team is ranked number 38 in…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from the 19th Annual UAS Summit and Expo at the Alaris Center in Grand Forks, Scott and Kevin discuss the critical role of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or drones, in national defense and their transformative commercial applications in agriculture and infrastructure. Key guests, Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer and Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski, highlight the area's rapid innovation and economic growth, positioning Grand Forks as "the base of the future." In the "Money, Markets, and Metals" segment, David Fisher of Landmark Capital explains the global "debasement trade" driving the bull market in gold and silver, and praises President Trump for securing deals with Pfizer and AstraZeneca to lower prescription drug costs for Americans. The hosts also take a moment to honor Charlie Kirk on his birthday, who is being posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Political commentary focuses on the "No King's Rally" absurdity and the ongoing Schumer shutdown, which Senator John Hoeven confirms Democrats are prolonging to coordinate with the rally. Standout Moments: Host reflects on the UND hockey sweep over the St. Thomas Tommies, humorously using the derogatory term "cake-eaters." (00:01:21) David Fisher announces that major pharmaceutical companies Pfizer and AstraZeneca have signed deals allowing 100 million American patients to save up to 80% on prescriptions due to President Trump's "Most Favored Nation" negotiation. (00:03:57) David Fisher explains the "debasement trade," detailing how massive unmanageable global debt is forcing central banks to inflate their way out, driving a major bull market in gold and silver. (00:04:36) Host announces that President Trump is awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk's family on what would have been his birthday. (00:10:48) Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer explains that UAS technology is used for the "dull, the dirty, and the dangerous work," and notes that counter-drone development is critical for national defense after Ukraine used drones to decimate the Russian Air Force. (00:16:03) The hosts and a caller mock the absurdity of the "No King's Rally," pointing out that the rally itself proves there is no king in America, and reveal Democrats are coordinating with the protest to delay the government shutdown resolution. (00:20:47) Grand Forks Mayor Brandon Bochenski speaks about the area's relentless pursuit of UAS technology, stating that Grand Forks Air Force Base is now called "the base of the future."

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott broadcasts live from the Twin Cities, covering a monumental day in geopolitics: President Trump's trip to Israel and Egypt for peace talks, which is seeing the release of hostages. He also dives into domestic issues, including the debate over Obamacare subsidies and how they're driving up costs for consumers and contributing to government shutdown discussions. Scott chats with North Dakota Insurance Commissioner John Gottfried about health care reform and Newsmax's Greg Kelly about the geopolitical breakthroughs, calling it a "crowning achievement" of the Trump administration. The show wraps up with listener feedback on everything from the Trump-led peace efforts and the "Epstein files" to a bizarre story about "furry" chaperones on a school art field trip in the Midway School District. Standout Moments: Scott reflects on the new name of the arena in the Twin Cities, saying "Grand Casino Arena" doesn't flow off the tongue. (00:00:27) Discussion of the UND hockey team's "destination game" against St. Thomas last night, which UND won. (00:01:05) Scott talks about a "quiet news day" that includes hostage releases and President Trump in Israel giving a speech, now headed to Egypt for a peace summit. (00:03:07) North Dakota State Tax Commissioner John Godfread is worried about rates going up in North Dakota because of changes in the Affordable Care Act. (00:04:36 Bridgette Readel, ag director, shares details about the upcoming WDAY Radio Farm Show on Wednesday, November the 5th, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.. (00:06:58) Discussion of "geomining" using plants like yellow daisies, canola, pennycress, and sunflowers to hyperaccumulate and extract nickel. (00:10:48) President Trump's speech in Jerusalem, discussing a "victory" and congratulating Bibi Netanyahu for having the courage to say "that's it," and that the hostages have been brought home. (00:13:30) Insurance Commissioner John Gottfried highlights that health care costs are the underlying cause of high premiums, and without reforming the system, insurance will be expensive. (00:23:07) A caller recounts how Obamacare allegedly caused the American Crystal Sugar lockout in 2010 and how good health care packages for employees have been decimated. (00:32:00) Listener Crystal suggests President Trump come to the Fargo Dome, where he'd fill the place, either coming or going from the opening day of the Theodore Roosevelt Library in Medora. (00:35:58) Scott reads a listener's text about a Midway School District art field trip where two chaperones identified as "furries" (one cat/fox, one bug) and acted in a…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The "What's on Your Mind" Friday edition opens with Kev (filling in for Scott, who is momentarily delayed ) providing a recap of the massive and enthusiastic Turning Point USA event honoring the late Charlie Kirk at the Chester Fritz Auditorium in Grand Forks the previous night. Chris Larson, from the news department, reports that nearly 2,000 people attended the event headlined by Glenn Beck, who opened with a profound, personal story on his life journey and shared his famous "question everything" philosophy. The hosts dive into an extended "free-for-all" discussion on the healthcare crisis, prompted by a listener's question about how Obamacare premiums are going to increase by over 200% when the ACA enhanced tax credits expire. Caller James shares his experience with subsidized but "crappy" insurance, having to manage his income to avoid paying back subsidies. Caller Cindy, a leukemia patient, gives a powerful breakdown of how government, big pharma, and insurance companies have ruined the doctor-patient relationship, leading to insane costs with no price transparency. Scott and James argue that the current system is an unsustainable "dumpster fire," intentionally set up by socialist Democrats to bankrupt the federal government and force a single-payer system. Scott proposes a unique solution for North Dakota: using a slice of the Legacy Fund dollars to develop a state-managed risk pool and opt out of the federal health care mess entirely. The episode also touches on the "Schumer Shutdown," criticizing the Senate Minority Leader for saying, "every day gets better for us" while military and law enforcement personnel have delayed paychecks. Standout Moments: 0:04:18: Chris Larson recounts the massive crowd and emotional atmosphere at the Charlie Kirk memorial event in Grand Forks, noting only one single protester showed up. 0:05:43: The hosts discuss their bingo board for the Turning Point USA halftime show lineup, suggesting Jason Aldean, Ted Nugent, and Kid Rock. 0:07:05: Discussion about the "enhanced tax credits" in Obamacare, which they call the "dirty little secret" that subsidizes health care for people of means with taxpayer dollars. 0:10:04: Caller James explains the perverse incentive of the Obamacare subsidy, where if he makes too much money, he has to pay back the subsidy in a "sticker shock" moment. 0:15:52: Caller Cindy (a leukemia patient) explains the "dumpster fire" of the current medical system, saying she has "no idea" what anything costs when she goes to the hospital. 0:17:47: Scott suggests a…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode, the hosts discuss the current political landscape, starting with a sarcastic "welcome back" from Washington D.C., referred to as "the swamp". The conversation quickly pivots to the ongoing government shutdown, with House Whip Tom Emmer later detailing the Republican efforts to pass a clean continuing resolution and framing the opposition as the "Schumer shutdown". They express a humorous but serious "quest to find normal Democrats". North Dakota Senator John Hoeven joins to discuss the shutdown's impact, particularly in the state, and the efforts to support farmers. A significant portion of the show is dedicated to honoring the late Charlie Kirk, including details about a sold-out Turning Point USA event in Grand Forks featuring Glenn Beck.

The conversation quickly pivots to the ongoing government shutdown, with House Whip Tom Emmer later detailing the Republican efforts to pass a clean continuing resolution and framing the opposition as the "Schumer shutdown".

		<description><![CDATA[Host Kevin Flynn, sitting in for Scott Hennen, hosts Leon Francis for a wide-ranging discussion on a chilly Wednesday morning. The show kicks off with Flynn praising Pam Bondi for her performance in a recent hearing against political opponents. The hosts also tackle hot-button issues like gun violence, arguing that the focus on "assault weapons" is misguided and that the real problem lies in a "broken society." They highlight the high murder rates in major cities and advocate for securing schools with better technology and armed personnel instead of pushing for gun bans. Flynn and Francis also address racism, echoing comments from Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock about the importance of focusing on character over race. Later, the discussion pivots to Flynn's former life as a country musician with a band named Kevin Kidd and the Naked Cowboys. The hosts are joined by Dean of the UND School of Aerospace, Bob Krause, who discusses the school's innovative programs, including satellite launches and drone integration into air traffic control. Krause also details upcoming aerospace events in North Dakota and touches on the counter-drone technology being developed to protect against adversarial or irresponsible use of drones. Standout Moments: 8:15 AM: Leon Francis challenges listeners to call in and ask a "Southern, gruffy, honoree" black man any question they have, in an effort to promote character-based conversations over race-based ones. 8:30 AM: Kevin Flynn and Leon Francis discuss the high rates of "black on black" gun violence in cities like Chicago and Baltimore, asserting that this should be the primary focus of gun violence discussions rather than school shootings. 8:45 AM: The hosts take a call from a listener who discusses the importance of raising children with strong values, proper gun safety, and a "colorblind" perspective, prompting Flynn and Francis to agree on the need for raising "warriors" instead of "soy boys". 9:00 AM: Flynn shares a story from his younger days about his country band, "Kevin Kidd and the Naked Cowboys," and mentions that one of his former bandmates, C.J. Udine, now plays for country star Gary Allan. 9:15 AM: Dean of the UND School of Aerospace, Bob Kraus, joins the show to talk about UND's Aerospace program, mentioning its high enrollment and the school's involvement in launching two satellites that are set to rejoin in space. 9:30 AM: Kraus discusses counter-drone technology and the need to be able to detect, identify, and mitigate adversarial drones.…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Scott Hennen reports live from Washington D.C., where he is attending a conference for technology leaders. He shares insights from the event, including an address by Secretary Doug Burgum, who gave a pitch for the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library as a conference venue once it opens in July 2026. Hennen also discusses new technology for mammograms that eliminates discomfort and mentions meeting Kimball Musk, who is interested in donating to the library. He makes the case that technology like "intelligence factories" could help North Dakota's economy to the point of generating enough revenue for zero property and income taxes.   The show dedicates time to the two-year anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, with Hennen lamenting that the event has largely been forgotten by many. He later interviews Father Phil Ackerman, a Fargo Diocese priest who was in Bethlehem during the attack and recounts his group's challenging journey to safety.   Hennen and guest David Fisher, CEO of Landmark Capital, discuss the ongoing government shutdown, describing it as a stalemate with Democrats wanting to keep at least $1.7 trillion in spending from the Biden era. Fisher cites examples of what he considers wasteful spending, such as $3 million for circumcision and vasectomies in Zambia and $3.6 million for cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti. Fisher also reports that gold is up almost 50% and silver is up 67% year-to-date, outperforming stock indexes.    Standout Moments: 8:00 AM: Host Scott Hennen broadcasts live from Washington D.C., mentioning he is there for a technology conference and that the city feels like a "ghost town" due to the government shutdown.   8:15 AM: David Fisher of Landmark Capital details spending Democrats are fighting to keep in place, including $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia and $3.6 million for pastry cooking classes for male prostitutes in Haiti.   8:30 AM: Fisher explains the "Argentina factor," where a $20 billion bridge loan was given to Argentina while U.S. soybean farmers face falling prices, causing "overwhelming frustration".   8:45 AM: Fisher reveals that gold has increased by almost 50% and silver by 67% year-to-date, attributing the rally to the government needing to devalue the dollar.   9:00 AM: Hennen reflects on the two-year anniversary of the October 7th attack in Israel, stating it was the "biggest slaughter of Jewish people since the Holocaust" and questioning why the public so quickly…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Host Kevin Flynn, filling in for Scott Hennen, dives into a wide range of topics, starting with the latest government shutdown and its personal impact on listeners, including an IRS agent in Omaha. He shares his thoughts on the situation in Portland and Chicago, including a federal judge's block on the Oregon National Guard. Flynn is joined by retired General Mike Haugen to discuss the National Guard's role and the posse comitatus law, as well as new physical standards for the military under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Hogan offers insights into the importance of maintaining high standards for the troops. Later in the show, North Dakota Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak joins the conversation to address listener questions about the shutdown and government spending. She explains the details of the budget debate, revealing what Democrats are proposing in their latest spending package. The show also touches on the fall harvest in North Dakota, the Lezak Recurring Cycle for weather forecasting, and a review of a unique jalapeno and peanut butter beer from a local brewery. Standout Moments: 8:45 AM: Kevin Flynn outlines the topics for the day, including an interview with Bridgette Readel about cattlemen, a weather report from Dean Wysocki on the LRC, and upcoming interviews with General Mike Hogan and Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak. 9:00 AM: Dean Wysocki explains the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) and how it is used to forecast weather patterns for the coming months. 9:15 AM: Flynn discusses the significance of National Coaches Day, connecting the lessons learned from sports—discipline and hard work—to the lack of "law and order" he perceives in current society. 9:45 AM: A listener shares how the government shutdown is affecting their brother, an IRS agent in Omaha, who has savings to weather the furlough. 10:15 AM: General Mike Haugen discusses the constitutional role of the National Guard in suppressing insurrections and why the federal judge's block on the Oregon National Guard is likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court. 10:30 AM: Haugen explains how the military's recruiting numbers have improved since the implementation of higher physical standards and a focus on performance. 10:45 AM: North Dakota Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak explains her decision to forgo pay during the shutdown and details the spending proposals from Democrats, including funding for programs she deems "egregious" and the healthcare loophole for illegal immigrants. 11:00 AM: A listener asks Congresswoman Fedorchak about a veteran's disability compensation…]]></description>

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[Host Kevin Flynn, filling in for Scott Hennen, dives into a wide range of topics, starting with the latest government shutdown and its personal impact on listeners, including an IRS agent in Omaha. He shares his thoughts on the situation in Portland and Chicago, including a federal judge's block on the Oregon National Guard. Flynn is joined by retired General Mike Haugen to discuss the National Guard's role and the posse comitatus law, as well as new physical standards for the military under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Hogan offers insights into the importance of maintaining high standards for the troops. Later in the show, North Dakota Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak joins the conversation to address listener questions about the shutdown and government spending. She explains the details of the budget debate, revealing what Democrats are proposing in their latest spending package. The show also touches on the fall harvest in North Dakota, the Lezak Recurring Cycle for weather forecasting, and a review of a unique jalapeno and peanut butter beer from a local brewery. Standout Moments: 8:45 AM: Kevin Flynn outlines the topics for the day, including an interview with Bridgette Readel about cattlemen, a weather report from Dean Wysocki on the LRC, and upcoming interviews with General Mike Hogan and Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak. 9:00 AM: Dean Wysocki explains the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) and how it is used to forecast weather patterns for the coming months. 9:15 AM: Flynn discusses the significance of National Coaches Day, connecting the lessons learned from sports—discipline and hard work—to the lack of "law and order" he perceives in current society. 9:45 AM: A listener shares how the government shutdown is affecting their brother, an IRS agent in Omaha, who has savings to weather the furlough. 10:15 AM: General Mike Haugen discusses the constitutional role of the National Guard in suppressing insurrections and why the federal judge's block on the Oregon National Guard is likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court. 10:30 AM: Haugen explains how the military's recruiting numbers have improved since the implementation of higher physical standards and a focus on performance. 10:45 AM: North Dakota Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak explains her decision to forgo pay during the shutdown and details the spending proposals from Democrats, including funding for programs she deems "egregious" and the healthcare loophole for illegal immigrants. 11:00 AM: A listener asks Congresswoman Fedorchak about a veteran's disability compensation…]]></googleplay:description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode, host Scott Hennen broadcasts live from Bloomington, Minnesota, to discuss local issues, national politics, and the state of Minnesota. Hennen kicks off the show with personal reflections on the changing landscape of his home state, lamenting the decline of downtown Minneapolis and the widespread political divide. He shares a conversation he had with a listener about whether Minnesota can be "saved," highlighting the work of Republicans in rural areas and the need to appeal to "suburban moms" to win statewide elections. He also promotes a special event to honor Charlie Kirk, featuring Glenn Beck, which aims to raise funds for Turning Point USA chapters. The show features an in-depth "Talk Radio Town Hall" with Senator Kevin Cramer and Senator Lindsey Graham. The senators discuss the government shutdown, with Graham confidently predicting it won't last long, and talk about a "big, beautiful bill" that secured border funding and made the 2017 tax cuts permanent without a single Democratic vote. They also touch on foreign policy, with Graham praising President Trump's tough stance on Russia, Iran, and China, describing Ukraine as a "dress rehearsal for Taiwan". The interview ends with a discussion on immigration and the need for a "rational immigration system" that benefits both American businesses and foreign workers. Finally, Hennen interviews Kelly Albrecht of Soul Solutions Recovery Center. Kelly explains the organization's faith-based approach to addiction recovery, which includes long-term support and free programs for family members. Standout Moments: Saving Minnesota: Scott Hennen and a caller debate the political future of Minnesota and how to win over key demographics. Budget and Border Bill: Senators Cramer and Graham praise a new bill that secures the border and makes tax cuts permanent without Democratic support. Foreign Policy Debate: The senators connect the war in Ukraine to potential Chinese aggression toward Taiwan and discuss a tough approach to foreign relations. Addiction and Recovery: A powerful interview with Kelly Albrecht highlights a recovery center's unique, long-term approach to helping people and their families.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kevin Flynn is filling in for Scott Hennen and welcomes several guests to the show to discuss current events and community updates. The episode features interviews with Nathaniel "Nate" Douglas, executive director of the Perry Center, and Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach.   Featured Segments Perry Center: Nate Douglas talks about the Perry Center, a residential home that helps pregnant women through their pregnancies with a Christ-centered approach. The center is in a period of growth, expanding from nine bedrooms to 33 to meet the increasing need. The Perry Center has an upcoming fall fundraiser on October 13th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fargo, which will feature resident testimonies and a keynote speech from Kim Elliott, a woman who raised a daughter conceived from rape. The event is free, and attendees are asked to RSVP on their website.   Government and Politics: Kevin speaks with Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach about her work and the current political climate. They discuss the ongoing fraud cases in Minnesota, including the "Feeding Our Future" and daycare scandals. Fischbach notes her support for a bill that would force the release of money held in Somalia from the "Feeding Our Future" fraud. The conversation also covers the possibility of a government shutdown, with Fischbach placing the blame on Democrats for not supporting a "clean CR" (continuing resolution) and for wanting to increase spending.   Special Interview with Glenn Beck: The show features an audio clip from an interview with Glenn Beck, who is filling in for Charlie Kirk at a TP USA event at the University of North Dakota. Beck and Flynn share stories about their long history in radio. Beck talks about his admiration for Charlie Kirk, calling him a "gift from God" and a "savant". He also reflects on the current state of the nation and the importance of faith in the face of growing darkness.   Weather and Local News: The episode includes a weather report with Meteorologist Dean Wysocki, who shares that a warm air mass is causing unseasonably high temperatures in the region, with highs in the 80s. However, a pattern change is expected next week, bringing cooler weather and significant rain to some areas.   Standout Moments Helping Pregnant Women: Kevin Flynn and Nate Douglas discuss the Perry Center's mission and its impact, including a powerful story about a former resident who overcame addiction and an unexpected pregnancy to get married…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The government is shut down, but the show is fired up, tackling everything from Washington's political theater to a high-school image scandal and a "demonic" Super Bowl halftime pick. North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley joins to discuss the criminal nature of sharing explicit and AI-generated images among teens, while Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak breaks down why Democrats are "holding the American people hostage" over government funding. Plus, a community rallying cry for a wholesome alternative to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show.   Key Moments: 01:45 - The "Life Erickson" 5K Run/Walk in Moorhead on October 9th is announced, complete with Viking helmets and beer glasses from Swing Barrel Brewing. 08:06 - North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley joins to discuss the disturbing and illegal sharing of nude and AI-generated images among students at Davies and West Fargo schools. 12:56 - Dana in Williston calls in, highly disturbed by the NFL's selection of "Puerto Rican rapper" Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show, calling him "anti-everything." 13:51 - The host and caller discuss Taylor Swift reportedly turning down the Super Bowl halftime show because the NFL would not meet her financial demands. 17:34 - Drew Wrigley addresses a common pushback, clarifying that while a student who sends an explicit image of themselves is not the focus of prosecution, the distributor of that image is committing a crime. 20:46 - A caller connects the student image scandal to a larger "crisis" in North Dakota, mentioning a recent suicide linked to "revenge porn" and digital harassment. 23:44 - Mike calls in, arguing that AI itself should be prosecuted as a new entity for its role in fostering suicidal thoughts in children undergoing mental health crises. 26:50 - Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak explains the political dynamic behind the government shutdown, detailing how Democrats' "ridiculous demands," like unwinding Medicaid work requirements and funding free healthcare for illegal aliens, caused the stoppage. 31:58 - A listener suggests that football players who claim Christ as their savior should "take a knee about Bad Bunny" to protest the halftime choice. 34:54 - Dana in Bismarck encourages listeners to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk by asking themselves, "would I do that to myself?" when making decisions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hosts Scott and Kevin dive into a packed Tuesday show covering a variety of national and local issues. The political conversation is dominated by the looming government shutdown, with an analysis from financial expert David Fisher on the potential for massive government layoffs and a debate on whether President Trump is strategically maneuvering the conflict. Fisher also breaks down the rising power of BRICS nations and reports on a "relentless" rally in gold and silver prices. In the second half, the focus shifts to North Dakota's energy future, featuring a discussion with Kevin Rusk of the UND College of Engineering and Mines on rare-earth mineral extraction from lignite coal and the need for automation talent in manufacturing.

		<description><![CDATA[This episode of "What's On Your Mind" is broadcast live from the NDSU campus, where the host, Scott, is celebrating philanthropy with the dedication of the new Challey School of Music. He speaks with NDSU President David Cook about the significant impact of donors like the Challey family and the importance of matching legislative funds with private philanthropy to transform the campus. The show's central theme revolves around the idea that giving, like a pebble dropped in a pond, creates a ripple effect that benefits future generations. The show also features a call-in segment with Senator Kevin Cramer, who discusses a variety of pressing issues. He fields calls from listeners concerned about government shutdowns, high farming costs, and the indictment of former FBI director James Comey. Cramer offers his perspective on these topics, explaining how perverse incentives and political posturing affect everything from agricultural markets to healthcare policy. He also shares his belief that the government is supposed to be a last resort, not a replacement for personal generosity. The discussion about the Comey indictment sparks a heated debate about political accountability and the role of the media. Timestamps: [00:00 - 06:10] Celebrating Philanthropy at NDSU: The host sets the scene from the NDSU campus, where he is broadcasting live for the dedication of the Challey School of Music. He reflects on the "ripple effect" of philanthropy and its impact on students and the community. [06:10 - 15:30] An Interview with NDSU President David Cook: President Cook talks about the Challey family's generosity and other major campus projects, including a new engineering complex and an agricultural field facility. He also discusses the university's efforts to run more like a business and align its programs with regional workforce needs. [15:30 - 24:00] Senator Kevin Cramer on Farming and Government: A listener expresses frustration with trade policies affecting farmers. Senator Cramer discusses the challenges facing the agricultural community and criticizes government-created perverse incentives, advocating for market-based solutions. [24:00 - 32:00] The Comey Indictment and Government Shutdowns: Senator Cramer and a caller debate the political implications of James Comey's indictment, with Cramer defending the move as an act of "self-defense" against political weaponization. He also shares his thoughts on the ongoing government shutdown debate, arguing that Democrats are using it as a political tool.

		<description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from the LeaderTown event at the University of Jamestown, this episode of What's on Your Mind explores life's big questions, focusing on the intersection of education, finance, and personal values. The host, Scott Hinton, asks listeners to reflect on whether they would send their children to the same college again, prompted by a debate on the cost of raising children and a caller who disagreed with the host's emphasis on marriage and kids. A major segment features Dr. Polly Peterson and Dr. Liz Hunt from the University of Jamestown's Unrule School of Character, discussing the importance of character-focused education and revealing the surprisingly low average net tuition cost of the private university (about $19,000 for tuition, fees, room, and board). Later, the hosts talk with Tracie and Emmanuel Ohonme of Samaritan's Feet, who share their inspiring story of creating a global social enterprise that provides shoes to the impoverished. The final hour features Brandon Lunak, Superintendent of Moorhead Public Schools, discussing the controversy over a book in a middle school library and the challenge of balancing state standards with community concerns. The episode closes with a sobering interview with filmmaker Rick Kupchella about his documentary, A Precarious State, which investigates the economic and social decline of Minnesota, highlighting alarming statistics on crime, wealth migration, and a failing education system. Standout Moments: Question of the Day: College Regrets: The host introduces the day's question: would you send your children to the same college again? (00:00:26) The Cost of a Wakeboat: A comparison is made between a small fishing boat and a new wakeboat, which costs over $100,000. (00:05:22) University of Jamestown's Character Focus: Dr. Polly Peterson discusses the LeaderTown event and the university's focus on character-based leadership since 1883. (00:10:55) Affordability of Private School: The President of the University of Jamestown reveals the average net cost for tuition, fees, room, and board is about $19,000. (00:18:24) Charlie Kirk's College is a Scam: The host and meteorologist Dean Wysocki discuss Charlie Kirk's book and the value of a college education in the modern era. (00:25:31) Samaritan's Feet and The World Shoe: Tracie and Emmanuel Ohonme describe their global humanitarian organization and their social enterprise that manufactures shoes in Africa. (00:40:41) Moorhead School Book Controversy: Superintendent Brandon Lunak discusses the removal of the book Not My Idea, a book about whiteness from a middle school library.

	<googleplay:description><![CDATA[Broadcasting live from the LeaderTown event at the University of Jamestown, this episode of What's on Your Mind explores life's big questions, focusing on the intersection of education, finance, and personal values. The host, Scott Hinton, asks listeners to reflect on whether they would send their children to the same college again, prompted by a debate on the cost of raising children and a caller who disagreed with the host's emphasis on marriage and kids. A major segment features Dr. Polly Peterson and Dr. Liz Hunt from the University of Jamestown's Unrule School of Character, discussing the importance of character-focused education and revealing the surprisingly low average net tuition cost of the private university (about $19,000 for tuition, fees, room, and board). Later, the hosts talk with Tracie and Emmanuel Ohonme of Samaritan's Feet, who share their inspiring story of creating a global social enterprise that provides shoes to the impoverished. The final hour features Brandon Lunak, Superintendent of Moorhead Public Schools, discussing the controversy over a book in a middle school library and the challenge of balancing state standards with community concerns. The episode closes with a sobering interview with filmmaker Rick Kupchella about his documentary, A Precarious State, which investigates the economic and social decline of Minnesota, highlighting alarming statistics on crime, wealth migration, and a failing education system. Standout Moments: Question of the Day: College Regrets: The host introduces the day's question: would you send your children to the same college again? (00:00:26) The Cost of a Wakeboat: A comparison is made between a small fishing boat and a new wakeboat, which costs over $100,000. (00:05:22) University of Jamestown's Character Focus: Dr. Polly Peterson discusses the LeaderTown event and the university's focus on character-based leadership since 1883. (00:10:55) Affordability of Private School: The President of the University of Jamestown reveals the average net cost for tuition, fees, room, and board is about $19,000. (00:18:24) Charlie Kirk's College is a Scam: The host and meteorologist Dean Wysocki discuss Charlie Kirk's book and the value of a college education in the modern era. (00:25:31) Samaritan's Feet and The World Shoe: Tracie and Emmanuel Ohonme describe their global humanitarian organization and their social enterprise that manufactures shoes in Africa.

The later half of the episode features an in-depth conversation with North Dakota State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus, who clarifies the financial impact of the Trump tax cuts on the state.

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode of "What's On Your Mind," host Scott Hennen broadcasts live from Arizona and is joined by Kevin Flynn back in the studio. They begin by discussing Kevin's recent bout of vertigo and Hennen’s reflections on the Charlie Kirk Memorial, which he attended in Arizona. Hennen describes the memorial as a powerful and emotional experience that was unlike anything he had ever seen, and he discusses his belief that the event's theme of faith and forgiveness should be a lasting legacy. The hosts take calls and read texts from listeners who share their thoughts on the memorial, Trump's speech at the event, and the importance of faith. The conversation also moves to other topics, including a new claim about Tylenol use during pregnancy and a link to autism, Trump's speech at the U.N. on climate change, and the economic pressures on American families. Hennen also talks with a guest realtor in Arizona about the "You Can't Shovel Sunshine" campaign, and a caller named Cindy shares her perspective on why young families are having fewer children due to rising costs of living. Standout Moments: Kevin's Vertigo (0:29): Kevin talks about his experience with a specific type of vertigo, which he says he got from "little calcium things floating around in [his] ear." Tylenol and Autism (1:58): The hosts and callers discuss the claim that Tylenol taken during pregnancy could be linked to autism, a subject brought up by President Trump. The Memorial in Arizona (2:40): Hennen describes the emotional memorial for Charlie Kirk at the Turning Point USA Headquarters, and the discussion continues throughout the show with listener calls and texts. The "You Can't Shovel Sunshine" Campaign (27:10): Hennen interviews a realtor in Arizona about the benefits of buying property there, and they discuss the affordability of homes in different areas of the state. Economic Pressures on Families (29:20): A caller named Cindy explains her viewpoint that the rising cost of living, from rent to diapers, is the primary reason young families are having fewer children today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this episode, Scott reflects on his experience at the memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Arizona, describing it as a profound and overwhelming event. He shares a personal anecdote about a "social media fast" he took and talks about the difficulty of unplugging in the modern world. Scott and his guests discuss the impact of Kirk's assassination, highlighting the emotional eulogy given by his widow, Erica Kirk, and the forgiveness she extended to the assassin. The show also features a discussion with guest Bill O'Reilly about his book, Confronting Evil, and the importance of confronting evil at both an individual and societal level. Other topics include the future of the youth movement Charlie Kirk started, the challenges of modern agriculture, and the importance of individual health. Episode Highlights Remembering Charlie Kirk: Scott and his guest, Jay, share their experiences attending Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Arizona, noting the massive turnout and the spiritual nature of the event. They discuss the impact of his work on young people and his ability to connect with a broad audience.   The Power of Forgiveness: The hosts and callers discuss the emotional eulogy delivered by Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, who publicly forgave her husband's assassin. This moment is described as a powerful testament to her faith and a shocking act of grace.   A "Social Media Fast": Scott discusses how he took a break from social media, describing it as a "scourge" for much of the time. He notes the positive feeling of being unplugged and contrasts the vitriolic nature of social media with the grace and love he witnessed at the memorial.   The Future of the Movement: The show explores what's next for the movement Charlie Kirk built. There's a question of whether the momentum will last and whether others can carry the torch while maintaining the same focus on faith and love that defined Charlie.   Confronting Evil with Bill O'Reilly: Guest Bill O'Reilly discusses his book, Confronting Evil, and the uncanny timing of its release with Charlie Kirk's assassination and other global events. He talks about the need for people to take a stand against evil in their own communities.   Focus on Personal Health: The conversation pivots to personal wellness, as Scott talks about the importance of eating right, exercising, and reading to improve one's health, inspired by a book called Good Energy and a visit to the…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This episode of "What's on Your Mind" is broadcasting live from the Bakken in Watford City, North Dakota, where host Scott Hennen is attending a North Dakota Petroleum Council gathering. Hennen opens the show by talking about the challenges facing Minnesota, including its low education rankings and issues with crime and taxes. He then shifts focus to North Dakota's energy industry and its role in a global competition with China. Hennen speaks with several guests, including David Cook, the president of NDSU, and two energy industry experts, Steve Liebow and Kim McHugh, who discuss how the state is leading the charge in developing and utilizing new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Standout Moments: 1:00 - Kevin Flynn from Minnesota talks about how his home state has become a "sanctuary state for gender-affirming surgery" and for illegal immigrants, while its education system and cities have declined. 4:30 - Hennen plays a portion of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's re-election campaign ad and critiques his claims about cutting taxes and improving education. 8:30 - Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki provides a weather report, mentioning a storm system in South Dakota that is bringing rain to central and eastern North Dakota. 10:45 - Dan Wright from Armada discusses the initiative to bring AI factories to energy-rich regions like North Dakota to help America win the AI race against China. 15:00 - Kevin Black from Creedence Energy discusses how oil and gas have helped build and fund infrastructure in Watford City, North Dakota. 20:00 - NDSU President David Cook talks about the new Honors College at the university, which will focus on artificial intelligence and human progress. 24:00 - Hennen and Cook discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk and its impact, including a vigil held on the NDSU campus. 27:30 - Kim McHugh of Chevron talks about Chevron's recent partnership with Hess and how they will be using technology and AI to optimize oil production in North Dakota. 30:30 - Investor Steve Liebow explains how North Dakota's oil and gas can power data centers and AI factories, helping to beat China without raising power rates for local residents.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this jam-packed episode, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn celebrate the 200-day milestone of the Trump administration with a blend of local insights, national headlines, and high-energy commentary. From “parting the Red Sea” flood control efforts in Fargo to a $600 billion Apple investment, the theme of the day is simple: winning, winning, and more winning.

Scott Hennen and guests explore the city's boiling point: has Fargo crossed into 'little Chicago' territory?

		<description><![CDATA[August has arrived, and with it, a hearty mix of seasonal reflection, sizzling politics, and law enforcement insights. In this lively, wide-ranging Friday edition of What's On Your Mind, Scott and Kev usher in the new month with reflections on the fleeting summer, economic jitters, and sharp political commentary—including a fiery takedown of Kamala Harris’ latest book tour. Later, West Fargo Police Chief Pete Neilsen joins to break down high-speed pursuits, warrant enforcement, K9 units, and the city's upcoming "Night to Unite" community event. As if that weren’t enough, Senator Kevin Cramer calls in from Capitol Hill for the weekly talk radio town hall. He talks tariffs, Biden administration delays, Social Security solvency, and whether Congress is sticking around for a longer summer. This episode has it all: bonfire banter, border politics, wiener dog races (yes, seriously), and a splash of strawberry pie-fueled federal budget talk. 🎧 Must-Listen Moments: [0:00] – “Can you feel it?” August 1st signals the end of summer—or at least it feels that way. [1:12] – Wall Street woes: Markets down, tariffs up, and a few surprise deals. [2:22] – Kamala Harris on Colbert... and the birthday book no one asked for. [3:07] – “She talks and talks and says nothing.” A masterclass in political word salad. [6:01] – Listener zinger: Kamala’s book title might refer to her blood alcohol level. [8:00] – Chief Pete Neilsen joins: high-speed chases, pursuit policies, and pit maneuvers explained. [13:13] – West Fargo’s 4th K9 officer is in action. Meet “Q.” [15:31] – "Night to Unite" preview: Dunk tanks, drone demos, and a police-vs-fire home run derby. [17:00] – Back-to-school safety and the comfort dogs walking the halls. [21:22] – Chris Cuomo says he’s “been wrong”—and it’s creating waves. [27:11] – New North Dakota law bans cell phones in schools. Are parents or kids more resistant? [31:09] – Over 30 states are doing the same. Is the no-phone zone trend finally here to stay? [37:16] – Free Plug Friday shoutouts, including loony wiener dog races in Fergus Falls. 🐾🌭 [43:43] – Colbert and Kamala’s “hilarious” October birthday anecdote (cue the laugh track). [46:22] – Listener recommends The Anxious Generation for deeper context on kids and tech. [54:58] – Jim the Flagpole Guy checks in from the road: patriotism, poles, and mechanical repairs. [57:22] – Senator Kevin Cramer joins from his “hideaway” on Capitol Hill: tariffs, appointments, and Senate rules drama.…]]></description>
