Dr. Thomas Laehn joins Brian Nichols to reveal how Iowa's data center fight, eminent domain, and Citizens United money all run through the 2026 Senate race - and why voters keep getting handed two bad options.Laehn is the Greene County Attorney and the first Libertarian in Iowa history to win a partisan election. Then he won it again. Now he's on the November 3 ballot against Ashley Hinson and Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's open seat.He wrote a bill that passed the House and passed the Senate. It never became law. What happened to it is the part nobody in Des Moines wants repeated.Brian pushes back hard - on young men and H-1B hiring, on the cultural fight libertarians keep dodging, on whether one party is objectively worse than the other. Laehn's answer isn't the one you're expecting.And then a former professor of constitutional law says something about the word "republic" that we had to sit with for a second.Give it a listen.CHAPTERS0:00 The Third Party Line Iowa Just Broke2:01 Preacher's Kid, Professor, Prosecutor2:48 He Won as a Libertarian.

In 1965, John and Mary Beth Tinker went to school in Des Moines wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War. They were suspended, and the incident led to a landmark Supreme Court decision that guaranteed free speech rights for public school students. Host Charity Nebbe revisits this history with John and Mary Beth and they discuss present day threats to the First Amendment. Then, Donna Reed is beloved for roles like Mary Bailey in 'It's a Wonderful Life' and Donna Stone in 'The Donna Reed Show.' She was born in Denison, Iowa, where the Donna Reed Foundation keeps her legacy alive. We speak with her daughter, Mary Owen, board member and treasurer for The Donna Reed Foundation.

This week we are joined once again by Kelsey Porter, who used real estate to build a life she actually wants to live. As an investor and realtor out of Des Moines, Kelsey traces how she went from “Is $8,000/month even possible?” to a lean, intentional 10‑door portfolio that pays for things like her wedding, travel, and future family plans.We talk about why financial freedom is a number, not a feeling, and how sitting down in 2020 with a simple spreadsheet—income in, expenses out—led Kelsey to her first financial freedom number of $8,000/month in cash flow. We share how that number initially felt out of reach, what it took to get there faster than expected, and why she later raised the bar.We dive into:Living below your means (even when your income grows)House hacking, renting out your primary, and being a one‑car householdUsing medium‑term rentals and short‑term rentals to get more “juice from the squeeze”Kelsey's nine real estate eras: Disbelief, Hustle, Lucky/Harvest, Enjoyment, Opportunistic, Debt Payoff, Coast, and “Sell It All”The tension between hustling hard and actually allowing yourself to enjoy what you've builtIf you're a woman investing in real estate and you want inspiration, real numbers, and a roadmap for building a small‑but‑mighty portfolio that supports your values (not just your ego), you'll feel right at home in this conversation with Kelsey.

When worldly powers demand compromise, where does your ultimate allegiance lie?In this opening message of our Exodus series, we look at Exodus 1:1–22 and the incredible courage of two Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah. Facing a paranoid Pharaoh determined to crush God's people, these women chose to fear God rather than man—taking a stand for the sanctity of human life and demonstrating what unconditional obedience looks like.Join us as we explore what it means to honor God as our supreme authority, trust Him with the outcomes of our faith, and find ultimate freedom through Jesus Christ—our true Redeemer who delivers us from the pit of sin and death.

Kids are back to school, but for Iowa's public schools, things have gotten more challenging. Public school funding hasn't kept pace with inflation, and many districts are losing students and the funds that come with them. On this episode, we check in with school districts around the state — Des Moines, Creston, Cedar Rapids and Sumner-Fredericksburg. We discuss how these school districts have been navigating the strained budget and their plans moving forward.

Iowa Business Report Thursday EditionSeptember 03, 2026     Chris Diebel, managing partner of Bubba, a downtown Des Moines restaurant marking ten years in business. 

We learn about airshow photography as we talk with a private pilot and UAV operator. In the news: Textron's new president and CEO, controllers and the fatal Air Canada Express crash, Marine One communications with DCA tower, Boeing's new F-15 contract, the TSA’s Gold+ privatized airport screening program, and the Airlink low pass over a Cape Town stadium. Thunderbird F-16 in flight. All photographs courtesy Logan Lynch. Guest Logan Lynch is a lifelong avgeek who loves photographing aircraft. He's attended AirVenture since 2018, where he can usually be found on the flight line with a camera glued to his face. Be sure to look through Logan’s 2026 EAA Airventure photo gallery for a sample of his work. As we talk about airshow photography, we learn that Logan owns very little photo gear and prefers to rent long zoom lenses from Lensrentals.com. We talk about good focal lengths, using a monopod (especially for fast jets), and a tripod for night shows. Logan spends the entire day shooting at a show, and he explains the accessories he carries, like lots of batteries, memory cards, and a cleaning kit. We talk about shooting RAW vs. JPG and editing images in Lightroom. Logan addresses the challenge of getting the right amount of prop blur and the importance of panning. We also explore tips for shooters who might only have the camera in their phone. An example of prop blur and panning on the Skip Stewart PITTS S-2S. Logan is a part owner of a 1966 Cessna 150F nicknamed Graham Cracker, and also a full-time UAV Operator and LDAR Technician for a major oil and gas producer out of North Dakota. He started Lynch Drone Photography in 2021 as an idea to generate a little extra income, but plans to expand it. Logan earned a Bachelor's in Aviation Management from Utah Valley University and serves as board treasurer for his local airport. The F-22 Raptor. The night show at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. Aviation News After Eight Years as President and CEO, Ron Draper Announces Retirement; Brian Rohloff to Lead Textron Aviation Forward Effective August 31, 2026, Ron Draper retired as president and CEO of Textron, with Brian Rohloff replacing him. Rohloff most recently served as senior vice president of Customer Support, overseeing global customer support operations, including service center capacity, parts availability, and AOG (aircraft-on-ground) response. Rohloff joined Cessna Aircraft Co. in 2009 as a production manager, and held positions including vice president of quality, vice president of sales, senior product director for the Citation XLS and Citation X lines, and director of paint operations. FAA seeks to fire two controllers who left early before fatal Air Canada crash On March 22, 2026, an Air Canada Express CRJ-900 collided with a fire truck at New York's LaGuardia Airport, killing both pilots. That night, two controllers left about an hour before the end of their shift, leaving two controllers to cover the tower. They remained recorded as working, in a practice known as “early shove.” ABC News reported that the two departing controllers were not needed to provide the normal minimum staffing for that time of night. The FAA has not said that the absence of the two controllers contributed to the accident. NATCA said it was discussing the allegations with FAA management. The NTSB has not determined the probable cause of the accident. New tech at Portland Jetport aims to boost safety New grant money will help Portland [Maine] International Jetport pay for location transponders in 57 airfield vehicles. The FAA is providing $200,000 while the state and the airport are contributing smaller amounts. Portland Jetport Director Paul Bradbury said, “…the tragedy in LaGuardia happened at midnight, right? It’s dark; it’s hard for controllers to see. This will make it another opportunity for them to see exactly where every vehicle is on the airfield.”  White House construction contributed to radio problems that let Trump copter come close to jet Several times controllers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport failed to hear the standard three-minute warning call that Marine One was getting ready to take off. Marine One is using the Ellipse while the new helipad is being constructed behind the White House. This caused the radio receiver to be moved to a different location. Now the FAA has adjusted the antenna “to improve communications” between Marine One and the airport. Boeing nabs whopping $131 billion F-15 deal The U.S. Department of War, in its Contracts for Aug. 24, 2026, says that it has awarded Boeing “a $131,230,000,000 ceiling, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for the F-15 Eagle Crest in support of the F-15 Program Office. This contract provides for aircraft production, systems integration, modernization, upgrades, retrofits, sustainment, and the establishment of organic depot maintenance capabilities to deliver and maintain critical F-15 Eagle Weapon System capabilities for the Air Force, Air National Guard, and other Department of War customers. Work will be performed at St. Louis, Missouri, and is expected to be completed by August 2037.” TSA Scraps Gold+ Privatized Airport Screening Program After 3 Months The Gold+ private airport screening program, which would privatize TSA screening, has been scrapped. In a previous web page (now taken down), the TSA explained Gold+: “TSA Gold+ is a new public-private partnership aimed at modernizing aviation security at select airports across the United States. TSA Gold+ will pair the Screening Partnership Program with TSA's innovation authorities to enable cutting-edge aviation security solutions. “Under TSA Gold+, TSA will continue to set the standards for aviation security using outcome-based measures that both drive performance and security. Long-term Screening Partnership Program (currently a TSA private screener contract model) contracts will redirect funds into the investable partnerships where leading industry operators can manage both technology and screening workforce.” Reasons cited for dropping the program: Only three airports (Tampa, Charleston, and Des Moines) were interested in the Gold+ protocols. Tampa International Airport performed “an extensive review and evaluation over several months” and announced it would not adopt Gold+. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), representing TSA screening officers, sued the TSA to force it to turn over records about TSA Gold+. The TSA announced it will replace the Gold+ program with an “evolved” version of the existing public-private Screening Partnership Program (SPP). It was launched in 2002, where private companies hire and manage screening personnel while the TSA oversees operations. The SPP currently includes 20 U.S. airports. Airlink pilots caught on video flying dangerously close to South African sports stadium Two Airlink Embraer E190 passenger jets executed a flyover before a match at Cape Town's DHL Stadium filled with some 60,000 fans. Airlink is a regional airline based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Flightradar24 calculated that the aircraft flew as low as 41–46 ft (12.5–14 m) above the top of the stadium. This generated widespread reaction about the safety of the spectacle. Some were appalled; others argued this was entirely in line with South African values. Airlink says the South African Civil Aviation Authority approved the flyover and has offered to provide the black box data showing they complied with the waiver’s altitude and speed requirements. The airline said, “The two aircraft were flown by highly-experienced crew, with each comprised of three senior captains operating in the roles of commander, co-pilot and safety/technical officer. The flight data recorded by both aircraft confirms that the flights were performed within the SACAA's approved and rehearsed safety altitude and speed limits for the flypast.” See also: VIDEOS: Airlink responds to concern planes got ‘too close' to CT Stadium Airlink Flyover Sparks Global Outrage, But What Actually Happened Above DHL Stadium?

H.W. Brands, Part Two: As 1941 begins, the legislative battle over Lend-Lease (HR 1776) intensifies, which Lindberghargues favors British imperialism over democracy. Behind the scenes, British intelligence coordinates covert propaganda inside the U.S. to sway American public opinion. Lindbergh testifies before Congress, arguing that air power makes the Western Hemisphere highly defensible without entering European conflicts. However, Roosevelt's declaration of an unlimited national emergency shifts public sentiment, casting isolationists as disloyal. Desperate, Lindbergh delivers his infamous Des Moines speech, blaming the British, Jewish Americans, and the administration for pushing the nation toward war, destroying his political credibility.

A Story Continued Katlyn first joined the show in February to share how she lost her husband, Riley, in a car accident at just 28 years old, leaving her to raise their 8-month-old daughter, Chloe, alone. Today's episode picks up from there — her remarriage, the birth of her son, and how it all led her into the Catholic Church. Falling in Love Again Katlyn talks candidly about the courage it took to date again after loss, meeting her husband Luke, and initially telling him it "wasn't going to work out" the moment she learned he was Catholic — before God had other plans. The Journey Into the Catholic Church From conversations with Luke's uncle, Father Mike Peters — a retired priest of the Diocese of Des Moines connected to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart Parish in Ankeny — to enrolling in OCIA, Katlyn shares how questions about Church authority, sacred tradition, and ultimately the Eucharist led her out of her Protestant upbringing and into full communion with the Church. Easter Vigil and New Life Katlyn was received into the Church at the Easter Vigil — just two days before giving birth to her son, Carson. She also shares the moving experience of having both Chloe and Carson baptized together by Father Mike. Under the Fig Tree Katlyn explains the story behind her book's title, drawn from the Gospel account of Nathanael meeting Jesus, and what it means to know that God sees us "under the fig tree" — even in our lowest moments. Her book, Under the Fig Tree: God's Faithfulness in Every Season, is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Follow Katlyn on Facebook for updates on upcoming book signings in the Des Moines metro.

What does it look like to build public health programs around what a community actually needs? In this episode of Plugged into Public Health, Lauren talks with Zuli Garcia, founder and president of Knock and Drop Iowa. The organization began in Zuli's garage during the COVID-19 pandemic as a culturally specific Latino food pantry and has since grown into a multicultural organization serving hundreds of Iowa households each week. Zuli shares why culturally appropriate food matters, how Knock and Drop Iowa grew from an emergency response into a nonprofit, and how food rescue and partnerships with local organizations help the pantry serve families across the Des Moines area. The conversation also explores Knock and Drop Iowa's expansion into health education and vaccine access. Zuli discusses how her own experience with cervical cancer influenced her work around HPV education, screening, vaccination, and patient advocacy, and why making health information convenient, understandable, and culturally responsive is critical. Throughout the episode, Zuli explains how Knock and Drop Iowa has built trust by listening to communities, partnering with trusted local leaders, and bringing resources into existing events and spaces rather than expecting people to come to them.

In this packed episode of the Live Fire Media Show we dive into horror movie gold with The Last Voyage of the Demeter—a solid Dracula story pulled straight from one iconic chapter of the novel that delivers real tension and atmosphere. We also discuss the up and coming released R-rated Director's Cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe (dropped August 14), why Spider-Man 4 is looking promising, the buzz around The Odyssey streaming on X, and the disappointing news that an Alien: Romulus sequel is currently off the table. On the gear side: the Pulse Rifle mag well Gen 3 is 3D-printed and looking sharper than ever with more enhancements and details. Plus—Mini-14s are back and popping hard! The big highlight is our GOA GOALS trip to Des Moines. For me it felt just like Hunter's SHOT Show experience—seeing friends and then some. Hanging out with the AR-15 Podcast, Let's Go Hunt, AK47 Radio, and especially the Airbnb with We Like Shooting was easily the best part of GOALS.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey turns the microphone around and becomes the subject, sitting down with Dan Snow to unpack the lessons behind a life built on discipline, learning, and quiet compounding. From selling satellite systems in Des Moines to losing everything he'd earned in a single month, Casey traces the moments that shaped his belief in economic self-reliance and lifelong education, formal or otherwise.The conversation moves through Casey's investment philosophy at Sandlot Partners, his take on specialization over well-roundedness, and the deals that taught him to bet on track record and trajectory. It closes on something deeper: faith, marriage, and the deliberate work behind a 22-year partnership with Chelsea Baugh.This is a conversation about growth as identity, not achievement. Entrepreneurs and leaders will walk away rethinking what it actually takes to build something, and someone, worth keeping.[00:00] Growing Together Or Growing Apart[00:55] Education Versus Hustle[02:45] Teaching Entrepreneurship At BYU[04:05] Dropping Out To Sell[06:00] The Dignity Of Self-Reliance[08:36] Losing It All In 2008[10:58] Committing To Lifelong Learning[12:55] The Accounting Insecurity[15:25] Strengths Over Well-Rounded[17:52] Coach Pope And Trajectory[21:28] What Makes A Great Founder[26:00] Character Versus Competency[28:00] Life Happening For You[41:53] Faith On The Periphery[47:22] What He Loves About Chelsea BaughThe information in this communication is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation to invest in any fund or security.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Leo Spoto. We discuss: How Leo went from a Bronx apartment to owning 245 acres of Iowa timber and creek bottom. Why buying 100 acres near Albia at $1,850 an acre felt like overpaying back in 2013. The expired driver's license that stranded Leo at the Des Moines airport before his first showing. Why Chase Bank wouldn't touch a land loan and a local Iowa banker wrote it anyway. How Leo closed on his first farm with $30,000 down when the bank wanted closer to $40,000. The 1031 exchange that rolled two small farms into one 214-acre piece he bought sight unseen. How walnut timber checks and an Iowa operating account carried a $2,600 monthly payment. Why Leo would now rather buy a landlocked 30 with an easement than a farm with road frontage. The roughly 250% return Leo has seen on Iowa ground since his first purchase in 2013. Why point creep and four kids finally pushed Leo to list the entire farm this year. And so much more! Thanks again for all of the support from our partners—none of this would've been possible without them!

   H.W. Brands, Part Two: In 1941, the debate intensifies over the Lend-Lease Act, which Lindbergh argues supports British imperialism rather than democracy. Lindbergh testifies before Congress, asserting that air power makes the Western Hemisphere more defensible, contradicting Roosevelt's claims that technology has made America more vulnerable. Roosevelt declares an "unlimited national emergency," casting anti-interventionists as disloyal "copperheads" and "fifth columnists." The America First movement is effectively ruined following Lindbergh's Des Moines speech, in which he identifies "Jewish Americans" as a group pushing the U.S. toward war, leading to widespread accusations of anti-Semitism. The national debate ends abruptly with the attack on Pearl Harbor and Hitler's subsequent declaration of war. Although Roosevelt bars his chief critic from official military service, Lindbergh eventually flies combat missions surreptitiously as a civilian consultant in the Pacific. (2)v
