The Iowa primary is in the books, and Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are back in the Hendrickson Library to break it all down. The headliner on the Republican side was the governor's race, where Zach Lahn edged out Congressman Randy Feenstra 38% to 37.2% — a razor-thin margin that nonetheless produced a clear nominee. Chris and John unpack what drove Lahn's late momentum, why Feenstra came up short despite his early advantages in money and name recognition, and what the rapid consolidation of Republican support behind Lahn says about where the party is headed.On the Senate side, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson dispatched Jim Carlin nearly 3-to-1 and enters the general as a formidable candidate. Democrats nominated Josh Turek over Zach Walz in a race that revealed the Schumer establishment's continued grip on the party machinery — and Chris and John assess whether Turek's positioning as a centrist will hold up under general election scrutiny. A handful of hotly contested legislative primaries also drew attention, including the upset loss of Rep. Jane Bloomingdale, the strong win by taxpayer champion Mike Bussell, and the survival of two incumbent senators despite well-funded challenges.Looking ahead to November, Chris and John preview what shapes up as a genuinely competitive fall cycle — a challenging environment for Republicans given the historical headwinds of a second presidential midterm, but one where Iowa's Republican registration advantage and strong candidates at the top of the ticket keep the outcome far from predetermined. The Lahn vs. Rob Sand governor's race figures to be a substantive, issues-driven campaign, and both hosts are eager to see the two square off in debates. Water quality, foreign land ownership, and school choice are among the issues likely to take center stage.Before closing, Chris flags a critically important ballot measure Iowa voters will decide this fall: a proposed constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds supermajority of the legislature to raise taxes. This is a major ITR priority. With states like Illinois and Colorado moving in the opposite direction — raising income taxes and eyeing progressive tax structures — Iowa has an opportunity to lock in a foundational taxpayer protection. Chris and John will have much more to say on this in the weeks and months ahead.

Chuck Todd walks through a primary night that was, in his words, a really good night for Democrats — and one that may have just answered whether 2026 is shaping up as a genuine blue wave. The night's biggest single story came out of Iowa, where Zach Lahn pulled off a stunning upset of Randy Feenstra in what Chuck characterizes as a "MAHA vs. MAGA" race — Trump endorsed the establishment Feenstra and lost, which Chuck predicts will drive the president absolutely nuts. Iowa Democrats also got a substantial ticket boost when Josh Turek blew out Zach Wahls in the Senate primary, and combined with the surprisingly strong gubernatorial candidacy of Rob Sand, Iowa is now the cleanest test case in the country for whether the political wind has truly shifted — a right-leaning state where the politics are visibly in flux. Chuck flags that Lahn can probably be painted as too far right in a general, that having "congressman" as your first name has become a real disadvantage in 2026, and that the night was an unambiguous positive for Democrats nationally. He also walks through results elsewhere: New Jersey's seventh district will see Tom Keane (still mysteriously MIA from his own campaign) face Rebecca Bennett; South Dakota's gubernatorial race is headed to its first-ever runoff after four candidates each cleared 20%, and Deb Haaland is on track to become the first Native American woman governor in U.S. history. The conversation then turns to California, where Chuck warns it will be days before we have full primary results but where turnout is already on pace to exceed 2022. He cautions viewers about the inevitable early "red mirage" from the mail-vote curve, predicts Hilton has enough of a lead over Steyer that he likely survives, and argues Xavier Becerra would much rather face Hilton than Steyer in a general — though a potential scandal is looming over Becerra that could reshape the whole race. Chuck argues a Becerra-Hilton race would be a conventional Democrat-versus-Republican contest, that Steyer has spent $500 million across his last two campaigns and still has a low ceiling because he's created a genuine sense of voter exhaustion, and that the single most fascinating race in the state right now is CA-06 and Kevin Kiley. The Los Angeles mayoral picture is clarifying too: Karen Bass and Spencer Pratt appear set to advance, which Todd argues is exactly what Bass wanted — it will be far easier to turn Pratt into a Trump acolyte in a general election than to face the formidable Nithya Raman. He notes that Matt Mahan became known as "big tech's candidate" in ways that genuinely hurt him, and closes with one to watch in Montana, where independent Seth Bodner is quietly hoping the Democratic candidate eventually bows out so he can consolidate the anti-incumbent vote into a real challenge. Then, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings — the former Orlando police chief turned local executive who is now running for governor of Florida — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a candid conversation about the challenges of being a Democrat in modern Florida and the lessons his unusual career path (accountant, then cop, then mayor) brings to executive leadership. Demings reveals that Governor Ron DeSantis personally threatened to remove him from office over his opposition to ICE operations in Orange County, and uses that experience as the entry point to a broader discussion about what's gone wrong with American law enforcement. He argues you cannot solve police shortages by lowering recruiting standards — exactly what he says ICE did when it ramped up so quickly that screening and training went out the window, with the predictable consequence that ICE has now begun poaching trained officers from state and local departments. Demings makes the case that we have to get criminals off the streets but it has to be done lawfully, that state law enforcement should not be doing immigration work, and that being elected sheriff as a partisan position creates real tensions because the actual responsibilities of the job aren't partisan at all. He pushes back on the idea that he's running to be a "performance politician" and frames his candidacy as wanting to bring competent local-government experience to a state level that he says is suffering from leaders chasing viral moments rather than delivering services. The conversation turns to the structural challenges facing Florida and the deeper question of why Democrats can't win statewide in a state that's growing more diverse by the year. Demings argues Florida's underpaid state legislators simply don't attract quality talent, that many longtime Florida Democrats have left the party out of pure frustration, and that the party's central task is to restore basic public belief in government's capacity to function. He's willing to give DeSantis credit for diversifying and growing Florida's economy, but argues the state needs to find efficiencies rather than continually burdening local governments with expenses it should be covering itself — and points to slashed state mental health funding as a direct driver of the violent crime he sees in his community. Demings is sharp on Florida's climate exposure, arguing the state is building in places it absolutely should not be building, and that hurricane-hardened construction standards need a major overhaul, He flags the NAACP's call for athletes to avoid schools in remapping states as the kind of extreme response that extreme government actions inevitably provoke, and warns that the politics of division are starting to genuinely threaten Florida's tourism economy — meaning the state's longtime economic engine may finally be running into the consequences of the culture wars its leaders have spent the past decade fueling.

2026-05-31: Family can be one of the most beautiful parts of life… and one of the most complicated. This week, we'll look at a surprising moment in Jesus' ministry where He asks a question that challenges everything people thought they knew about family, belonging, and who's truly “in.” As we continue our series on "The Church", we will explore the kind of family Jesus came to establish.

A big explosion rocked Florida and a big endorsement rocked Iowa and SIMON talks about both this hour! Last night in Florida the Blue Origin rocket exploded on the launch pad during testing. AstroClay, our favorite astronaut, CLAY ANDERSON tells SIMON what this means for the future of the moon program. Later and for the 2nd time this week, SIMON has Congressman RANDY FEENSTRA live in-studio but this time they discuss the President's announcement this afternoon when he endorsed Congressman Feenstra to be Iowa's next Governor. SIMON doesn't usually belive endorsements matter but this one is different. POTUS is 118-0 for winning endorsements so far. Will his streak hold true on Tuesday?

Randy Feenstra, Republican candidate for Iowa Governor and 4th District US Congressman, talks about key issues including tax reform, health care, education, economic growth, agriculture, keeping young people in the state, carbon pipelines, immigration, and China relations. He also discusses his reasons for running, background and experience, top three priorities, most significant endorsements, and closing statement on why he deserves your vote.

Governor Reynolds signed the property tax bill into law, and Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are here to put a bow on it. The 2% revenue cap takes effect July 1st, with estimates putting the relief at $4 billion over six years. The response from local governments has ranged from genuine concern to full-blown hysteria — pools, libraries, trails, economic development, and public safety all reportedly on the chopping block because government spending is being slowed down, not cut. Chris and John's response: that's the point. The legislature heard from voters, stood up to significant lobbying pressure, and passed a real reform. When local governments have to reprioritize, that's a feature of this bill, not a bug. And compared to what other states managed — Minnesota offered a one-time $173 property tax rebate, Tennessee couldn't pass a cap at all, Kansas had its reform vetoed — what Iowa did is genuinely significant.With the primary three weeks out, the governor's race is the other main story. The carbon pipeline and eminent domain — the defining issue of the early campaign — has largely faded from paid media. Congressman Feenstra is running as a Trump-aligned fighter, heavy on border security, women's sports, and his tax record. Zach Lahn has carved out an "Iowa First" lane — Iowa schools, Iowa jobs, Iowa farmland — and is raising harder questions on agriculture, cancer, and water quality that don't fit the typical Republican primary mold. Adam Steen is putting money behind going after Feenstra directly while appealing to the evangelical conservative base. Brad Sherman leans into his biography and anti-establishment framing. Nobody is breaking away — Chris expects a closer than expected finish. A quick look elsewhere: the Democrat Senate primary for Joni Ernst's seat — Josh Turek with establishment backing versus Zach Wahls aligned more with the progressive wing — mirrors the same national tensions playing out in blue primaries across the country. And from Minnesota: 17 cities in one county have voted to fly the old state flag, rejecting the redesign pushed by the current governor.

In this episode of Running Anthropologist, we sit down with Natae Feenstra, PhD, LPC, NCC—school counselor, counselor educator, and Certified Run Walk Talk® therapist—to explore running as a therapeutic treatment for trauma, and her involvement in the International Association of Running Therapists. We start with movement origins and how her counseling journey began, leading her to the forefront of this field. Drawing on her original research, Natae explains how regular running can significantly reduce trauma symptoms, potentially rivaling outcomes from established therapies, and why the simple act of moving—at any pace or distance—matters more than mileage goals. We discuss the science of bilateral stimulation (wider than you would think), the legacy of Dr. Thaddeus Kostrubala's “Joy of Running,” and how movement shifts consciousness in ways that support healing. Natae also shares how she integrates running into counseling, the importance of trauma‑informed pacing and consent, and practical ideas for beginning a run‑walk practice after trauma. Learn more about her work at http://therapy-steps.com and about the emerging field of running therapy through the International Association of Running Therapists (IART) at https://sites.google.com/view/iartusa/ and our podcast home page for pictures, full research paper summary and more info at https://www.runninganthropologist.com.

Kim Feenstra groeide op in chaos, overleefde het, en weigerde het door te geven. In dit openhartige gesprek vertelt voormalig Holland's Next Top Model-winnaar over haar jeugd met geweld en verslaving thuis, haar tijd in de prostitutie, het verlies van haar vriend, en hoe moederschap haar helingsproces in een stroomversnelling bracht.

Een eerlijk, ontroerend en inspirerend gesprek over overleven, loslaten en uiteindelijk jezelf leren liefhebben. Voor iedereen die ooit het gevoel heeft gehad dat het verleden zwaarder weegt dan de toekomst — dit gesprek met Kim Feenstra laat zien dat het anders kan.Thema's die ter sprake komen: Trauma verwerken, Innerlijke rust vinden, Moeilijke jeugd / jeugdtrauma, Verleden loslaten, Zelfontwikkeling & identiteitShownotes:Ons boek:

Iowa's conservative tax reform story didn't happen by accident — and Governor Kim Reynolds made that crystal clear at the annual ITR/NFIB Tax Day Luncheon in Des Moines. With roughly 200 attendees packing the Hilton downtown, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson recap what the governor had to say about Iowa's decade-long transformation from one of the worst tax climates in the country to one of the best. From income tax reform to inheritance tax elimination to government efficiency, Reynolds made the case that Iowa's success is a model for the nation — and that the secret ingredient has always been fiscal discipline alongside the tax cuts, not instead of them.The numbers back it up. New IRS migration data for 2023 shows red states gained $37.2 billion in adjusted gross income and nearly 500,000 new tax filers, while blue states lost $41 billion and over 500,000 filers. Iowa is part of that story. Meanwhile, Washington State — which had no income tax — just enacted a 9.9% rate, and companies like Starbucks are already eyeing exits. Chris and John break down what this means for Iowa's competitive position and why the fiscal foundation Reynolds built is what makes continued reform possible.Property taxes are the unfinished business of Iowa's reform era, and Governor Reynolds called it plainly at the luncheon: it's the last big thing she wants to get done before leaving office. With the House, Senate, and governor each carrying a bill and session winding down, Chris and John dig into the state of negotiations — the 2% cap, growth factors, TIF reform, SAVE fund acceleration, and the importance of making sure whatever passes actually limits spending. The point is made clearly: if local governments can simply raise franchise fees, increase bonding, or find other workarounds, the reform won't deliver real relief to Iowa taxpayers.The governor's race got a quick update, with Congressman Randy Feenstra on television making the case for continuing to lower — and eventually eliminate — Iowa's income tax, Adam Steen hitting the mail, and Zach Lahn running a statewide tour focused on land ownership issues.

En este episodio exploramos un fenómeno clínico sorprendente que algunos terapeutas han observado en pacientes con daño cerebral: personas que durante el día no pueden abrir la mano voluntariamente, pero que, justo al despertarse, sí consiguen hacerlo durante unos segundos o minutos. A partir de un caso real, analizamos qué podría estar ocurriendo en el sistema nervioso para que aparezca esta “ventana motora” transitoria. El episodio revisa cómo las alteraciones del equilibrio entre el tracto corticoespinal y las vías cortico-reticuloespinales pueden favorecer patrones globales como la sinergia flexora, que terminan “secuestrando” la apertura de la mano durante la actividad diaria. A lo largo del episodio se propone una explicación integradora basada en tres factores clave: el estado de activación del sistema nervioso al despertar, la neuromodulación monoaminérgica que regula la excitabilidad de las motoneuronas y las corrientes internas (PICs), y el papel crucial de la biomecánica y la postura del miembro superior. Esta combinación podría generar una breve fase de menor hiperactividad flexora que permite emerger al movimiento. Más allá de la curiosidad clínica, el episodio plantea una pregunta terapéutica fundamental: si entendemos por qué aparece esa ventana, ¿podemos reproducirla y utilizarla en rehabilitación para entrenar la apertura de la mano?

Iowa's 2026 governor's race is already drawing national attention — and this week it got expensive. Randy Feenstra launched a seven-figure statewide TV ad tying Rob Sand to the open borders left and positioning himself as the candidate who will "stand tall" on immigration. Chris Hagenow and ITR Foundation Policy Director John Hendrickson break down what the ad signals about the Republican primary, why immigration has become a centerpiece issue, and what it means for Sand as he tries to stake out a centrist lane in a state that keeps moving right.Rob Sand made waves this week with a social media reel blasting Iowa's budget continuation bill (SF 2461) — accusing Republicans of lacking accountability, calling out Education Savings Account vendor Odyssey, and strongly implying that if elected governor he should have the authority to force a government shutdown over budget disputes. Chris and John unpack the reel line by line: is Sand calling for shutdown power, or is this just a fundraising play? And what does his continued focus on ESA "accountability" tell us about his general election strategy — and its risks?Iowa just became the first state in the nation to receive a federal education waiver under the Trump administration's "Returning Education to the States" initiative — unlocking a $9.5 million block grant that gives Iowa parents and local schools dramatically more flexibility over how federal education dollars are spent. ITR Foundation's John Hendrickson, who wrote the definitive piece on this development, explains what the waiver actually does, why education belongs at the state level under the 10th Amendment, and why Iowa's track record on school choice — from ESAs to open enrollment to charter schools — makes it the ideal proving ground for this new model.ITR Tax Day Luncheon — April 1, 2026 at the Hilton Des Moines Downtown.

The lives and stories that came before us shape who we are, often more than we realize. This week, we'll explore how the Gospel of Matthew reaches back to an Old Testament prophecy to reveal a centuries-long story of God's faithfulness; a promise woven through kings, crises, and choices, all the way to Joseph deciding whether to remain engaged to Mary, now unexpectedly pregnant. And through it all, God was working. God was present. God was, and is, still with us through this promise kept.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson cover everything from the latest developments in the 2026 Iowa governor's race to the broader political shifts shaping both Iowa and national politics. With new candidates entering the race and familiar names making their bids official, the hosts analyze how the field is taking shape and what it means for Republican voters.The conversation opens with the announcement of Congressman Randy Feenstra's official campaign launch and newcomer Zach Lahn's populist-leaning entry into the race. Chris and John discuss how both are positioning themselves — Feenstra emphasizing his record on tax reform and Lahn focusing on “Iowa First” and small-town preservation. They explore emerging themes like property rights, health care affordability, and foreign land ownership, noting that these issues reveal the shifting priorities within Iowa's conservative movement.Beyond the campaign trail, the hosts examine a recent Des Moines Register report highlighting the loss of more than 200,000 registered Democrats in Iowa over the past 15 years. They frame this as part of a broader realignment in American politics, where working-class voters in the Midwest have steadily moved toward the Republican Party. The discussion contrasts these demographic changes with suburban shifts in the opposite direction, explaining how Iowa's political map continues to evolve.The episode also touches on civility in politics — sparked by a recent town hall event featuring Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks — and the rising tension between public accountability and political grandstanding. The hosts close with a candid discussion of national tariff policy, including Donald Trump's proposal to send $2,000 rebate checks funded by tariffs, which both Chris and John sharply criticize as misguided economics that fails to reduce spending or debt.The show ends on a lighter note as the hosts share trivia, debate presidential rankings, and defend the enduring legacy of Ronald Reagan.

Simon talks to IA Congressman Randy Feenstra who officially announced his candidacy for IA Governor this week. Congressman Feenstra has been a City Administrator, County Treasurer, State Senator and is currently representing Iowa's 4th District in Congress. He and Simon discuss his race, property tax, eminent domain and his desire to "take this state to new heights".

In this episode, I chat with Christine Feenstra, Executive Director of the California Association for Leading Innovation in Education (CALIE)—formerly known as CUE—about the organization's evolution and rebrand. Christine shares the why behind the shift, how her team engaged educators and stakeholders throughout the process, and what this change means for the community moving forward. We discuss CALIE's renewed mission to inspire learning, empower educators, and expand access to professional growth opportunities.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson dive into two big stories shaping Iowa's political and fiscal landscape: Randy Feenstra's official entry into the 2026 governor's race and Iowa's sharp rise in national tax competitiveness rankings.The conversation opens with Feenstra's long-anticipated announcement. Chris and John break down what the move means for the Republican field, why Feenstra is considered the frontrunner, and how his campaign message of “America First for Iowa” could play out on the state level. They question what the slogan really means in policy terms and whether Iowa voters will see it as substance or branding.The hosts then turn to the Tax Foundation's new State Business Tax Climate Index, where Iowa jumped from 20th to 17th in overall tax competitiveness — a major improvement from its 44th-place ranking just a few years ago. Chris and John explain what that ranking means, how Iowa's flat tax continues to boost the state's position, and where more work is needed — particularly on property taxes.As the episode unfolds, the discussion moves from rankings to reform. The hosts preview property tax debates coming in the 2026 legislative session and emphasize Governor Kim Reynolds' continued push to apply the same fiscal discipline that delivered Iowa's flat tax to local governments. They also highlight the ongoing need for efficiency and consolidation among Iowa's 99 counties and local entities to reduce costs for taxpayers.The episode closes with a spirited exchange about South Dakota's new property tax task force and why the key to lasting relief isn't tinkering with formulas — it's cutting government spending. As always, Chris and John remind listeners that the solution to Iowa's tax challenges begins and ends with responsible budgeting and smaller government.

#790 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/790 Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors We're bringing back one of the classics for this special summer re-release — an early episode that quickly became a listener favorite. Originally Episode 13, this conversation with Michigan guide Kevin Feenstra is packed with insights on swinging flies for steelhead on the Muskegon River. Kevin breaks down his approach to fishing year-round, how he reads the water, and what makes the Muskegon such a unique place to chase steelhead. He also shares some of his thoughts on fly patterns, presentation, and how fish respond to changing water temps. If you're into steelhead, two-hand rods, or just love hearing from someone who truly understands their home water, this one's worth another listen. Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/790

In Postnormal Worldviews, Layman is joined by eco-village explorer and Fourth Way practitioner, Markus Feenstra, to inquire into the question of normalcy, how it gets socially established, and what processes, practices, and sensitivities allow for the establishment of new normals; the problem of mismatches between the 'normal' and what we might sense intuitively as what is deeply right; the shamanoid role of the edge-dwellers; the Gurdjieffian possibility for a third position between the exoteric and the esoteric, the mesoteric, and how mesoteric individuals contribute to the evolution of culture; and much more. Markus Feenstra is a resident of the Earthsong Eco-neighborhood in Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand, and the co-developer of a fractal theory of change and underpinning worldview that assists people committed to enhancing the wellbeing of all beings to renormalize themselves, so they may better embody their gifts for the world in their natural ways of being.
