Shadow Politics with US Senator Michael D Brown and Maria Sanchez
Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Unstoppable in Iowa: India May on Rural Power, Health Care, and Speaking Truth to Power Guest, India May, Political Candidate, Speaker, Advocate A Grassroots Conversation About Local Courage In this episode of Shadow Politics, hosts Michael D. Brown and Liberty Jones welcome India May, Democratic candidate for Iowa House District 58, covering Floyd, Chickasaw, and Bremer counties. Michael introduces her as a nurse, librarian, medical examiner investigator, mother, and community advocate who gained attention after publicly confronting Senator Joni Ernst about Medicare and Medicaid cuts. The episode focuses on local power, rural politics, health care, LGBTQ rights, campaign finance, voter access, and what it means for an ordinary citizen to step into public leadership. Discovering the Power of One Civilian Voice India says one of the biggest lessons she has learned over the past year is how much power civilians truly have. She points to her public criticism of Senator Joni Ernst, who later announced retirement, and her scrutiny of her opponent's unpaid property taxes, after which he paid them. India's point is that people do not have to wait until they hold office to make a difference. By speaking plainly, documenting facts, and refusing to be silent, ordinary citizens can pressure powerful figures and create real consequences. From Independent Voter to Democratic Candidate Liberty asks India about the difference between her expectations and the realities of running for office. India explains that she spent much of her voting life as an independent and is now running as a Democrat in red, rural Iowa. She says she has been pleasantly surprised by the number of people willing to step up, volunteer, knock doors, join parades, and publicly support a campaign that calls for change. She describes live music, community energy, and people applauding the campaign at local events as signs that many rural Iowans know something is wrong and want a different direction. A Campaign Rooted in Fair Voting When Liberty asks what policies are most important to India, she names voting reform as her top priority. India supports efforts discussed by Iowa gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand to make voting more fair and less dependent on party structures. She criticizes Iowa's ban on ranked-choice voting and says she is interested in open primaries, star voting, approval voting, and ballot measures. Her goal is to make Iowa's political system more responsive to voters rather than party machinery. Medicaid, Mental Health, and a Broken Health System Michael asks about India's well-known confrontation with Senator Ernst over Medicaid cuts and how those cuts affect Iowans. India says Iowa has already been ahead of the curve in damaged health care because Medicaid was privatized in 2016. She describes delayed care, denied care, unpaid reimbursements to hospitals, work requirements, and hospitals struggling to stay open. She also says Iowa ranks at the bottom for inpatient mental health care availability and faces severe health care deserts, rising cancer concerns, and limited oncology access across many counties. The “Big Beautiful Bill” and Political Timing India argues that federal cuts tied to the so-called “big beautiful bill” will be devastating and says the timing of implementation appears politically calculated. According to her, the cuts are delayed until November, creating an opening for Republicans to blame Democrats if the party balance changes after the election. Michael responds that this shows she has learned one of the central lessons of politics: policy and timing are often structured to shape public blame. Christianity, MAGA, and Moral Accountability The conversation turns to religion and politics when Michael, speaking as a Christian and father of an openly gay daughter, asks how Christians reconcile cruelty toward LGBTQ people, immigrants, and vulnerable groups. India, who says she was raised Methodist, contrasts the Methodist slogan “open hearts, open minds, open doors” with what she describes as MAGA cruelty. She says even the Old Testament emphasizes hospitality to strangers and kindness to those in need, and she argues that current right-wing politics often represents the opposite of what Christ or Christianity teaches. LGBTQ Rights, Book Bans, and Iowa's Culture War India discusses the legislative push in Iowa against LGBTQ protections, trans and nonbinary people, and public libraries. She says Republicans have enacted or pursued punishing policies against LGBTQ Iowans and banned local governments from passing protective ordinances. As a former librarian, she criticizes book bans and groups such as Moms for Liberty, saying the fear that books about gay families will “turn children gay” is baseless. She connects the fight over libraries and education to broader attempts to control speech, identity, and public understanding. Teen Pregnancy, Sex Education, and Child Safety The discussion also touches on sex education and child safety. India argues that teen pregnancy has declined not because of abstinence-only silence but because young people have more access to information and teach one another how to be safer. She emphasizes that adults abusing children, not LGBTQ people or books, are a real issue that should be confronted honestly. Michael adds that in his own experience, abuse often came from heterosexual authority figures, reinforcing the need for real education rather than fear-based censorship. Money, PACs, and a Grassroots Fundraising Fight India explains that her campaign has raised meaningful support and even outraised her opponent in some ways, though he has outspent her and benefits from PAC funding. She contrasts his expensive steak-dinner fundraising with her community-centered grilled cheese events, including a planned family-friendly fundraiser at the Floyd County Fairgrounds with games and raffle tickets. She stresses that every small donation matters and directs listeners to MayForIowa.com for campaign support. Rural Iowa, Brain Drain, and Keeping Young People Home Liberty asks how rural Iowa can keep young workers, doctors, entrepreneurs, and college graduates from leaving. India says the problem is real and often called “brain drain.” She argues that young people leave when communities attack LGBTQ people, underfund public schools, fail to protect workers, allow corporations to exploit communities, and make life less livable. Her answer is that Iowa must become a place where young people can be safe, respected, employed, and proud to build a life near their families. Challenging Her Opponent's Record India discusses her opponent, Charlie Thompson, saying he has served two terms in the Iowa legislature while also working as a lawyer and real estate developer. She criticizes him for not paying property taxes on several properties and for being involved in a stalled downtown development project in Charles City. She also criticizes legislation he supported, including a three-strikes-style bill that she says will increase incarceration despite Iowa not being a high-crime state, especially troubling in a state with poor mental health care access. Water Quality, Cancer, and the Cost of Silence A major policy issue India raises is Iowa's water quality. She says a study identified nitrates from agricultural runoff as a major contaminant and connects this to Iowa's rising cancer concerns. She criticizes the state for failing to educate the public after the study and says candidates must be willing to have hard conversations about unsafe water, preventable cancer risks, health care costs, child care costs, exploitative tax structures, and corporate influence. For India, voters may eventually wake up when these issues affect their health and wallets directly. Trump, MAGA, and Cracks in the Bubble Michael asks whether Trump's appeal is fading in Iowa, especially among farmers affected by tariffs and economic pressure. India says Trump signs came down quickly in Iowa and notes farmer bankruptcies as a serious concern. She believes some former MAGA supporters are beginning to question what they were told, including one former Trump supporter who wrote her name on the Republican primary ballot. Still, she says many voters remain trapped in algorithmic echo chambers, making truth-telling and local conversations essential. Iowa's Governor's Race and Statewide Politics India also discusses Iowa's governor's race, praising Rob Sand while criticizing Governor Kim Reynolds and the current Republican leadership. She says Reynolds is deeply unpopular and criticizes her use of taxpayer-funded private-jet travel while asking Iowans what public services they would sacrifice to reduce property taxes. India also discusses Republican candidate Zach Lahn, portraying him as a wealthy, Koch-connected figure who talks about water quality but carries far-right cultural positions. Her broader point is that Iowa politics is full of contradictions, money, and high stakes. An Authentic Candidate With an Unstoppable Message As the interview closes, Liberty asks what India would want young Iowans to remember. India's answer is to be unapologetically themselves, find out who they are, and speak truth to power relentlessly. Michael praises her authenticity, endorses her candidacy, and calls her the kind of candidate America needs. Liberty says she does not have the same power to endorse, but will buy a campaign shirt. The show closes with Michael dedicating Sia's “Unstoppable” to India May and encouraging listeners to support her campaign.

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.

Six years ago this week, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic — and within days, America shut down. Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson mark the anniversary with a candid conversation about why the biggest policy event of a generation has been largely memory-holed, and why that's dangerous. Iowa, under Governor Kim Reynolds, was among the best-managed states in the country — but the national reckoning on government overreach, civil liberties violations, and accountability for public health officials has never arrived. Worse, the trillions in federal stimulus spending that followed are still rippling through Iowa's fiscal reality today in the form of inflation and a strained state budget.The Iowa Revenue Estimating Conference released its March forecast this week, and the numbers tell an important story. Iowa's FY2026 general fund revenues are projected at $8.111 billion — down 9.3% from the prior year, with the current year revised down an additional $46 million from December due to federal tax changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The good news: Moody's and Fitch both reaffirmed Iowa's Triple-A credit rating, citing conservative budgeting and a strong fiscal foundation built over years of disciplined leadership. Revenue is projected to recover in FY2027 ($8.499B, +4.2%) and FY2028 ($8.717B, +2.9%) — and Iowa's 2018 sales tax base broadening, which doesn't get nearly enough credit, is showing up as a stabilizing force in the state's revenue mix right now.Not all the fiscal news is smooth. Iowa faces a $78 million Medicaid shortfall for FY2026 and a projected $200 million deficit for FY2027. Chris and John break down why Medicaid and education spending are the warning flags even the credit rating agencies are flagging, and why holding the line on spending discipline is the only path that keeps Iowa's landmark tax reforms intact. As Director Paulsen made clear: Iowa has the reserves to manage through this — but only if the legislature stays the course.Today is also the final deadline for Iowa candidates to file petitions for the June 2 primary, and ITR Live is tracking the field in real time. From the governor's race to legislative seats, Chris gives a live rundown of what to watch — including one Republican congressional candidate who dropped out this week. John also teases a new debate posted at ITRFoundation.org: a back-and-forth on "What is Conservatism?" that's worth your time.

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.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson break down the first full week of the 2026 Iowa legislative session, with a sharp focus on property taxes, government spending, and the tone being set by legislative leadership. After years of debate, property taxes are unmistakably front and center—across party lines—marking what could be a pivotal session for Iowa taxpayers.The hosts walk through opening-day speeches from Republican leaders and Kim Reynolds, highlighting a consistent message: spending drives taxation. Chris and John emphasize that Iowa's recent income tax reforms were only possible because of disciplined budgeting, and that the same principle must now be applied to property taxes. Proposals such as a 2% cap on local government budget growth are framed not as cuts, but as a way to slow growth to a level Iowans can afford.A significant portion of the conversation focuses on the predictable pushback from local governments and media voices, including familiar scare tactics suggesting that any restraint will lead to unsafe communities or failing infrastructure. Chris and John push back hard, noting that slowing the growth of spending is not the same as cutting essential services—and that similar warnings in past debates never materialized.The episode also dives into specific policy ideas emerging early in session, including limits on tax increment financing (TIF), efforts to redirect a larger share of the SAVE sales tax toward property tax relief, and incentives for local government consolidation and efficiency. While supportive of the overall direction, the hosts raise concerns about proposals like senior property tax freezes, warning that they risk creating unequal treatment within the tax code.The discussion closes on a cautiously optimistic note. With multiple major bills introduced in week one and clear alignment among Republican leaders, Chris and John argue that the opportunity for meaningful reform is real—but only if lawmakers stay focused on the core issue: controlling the growth of government spending so taxpayers can finally get lasting relief.
During what may be her last Condition of the State, Gov. Kim Reynolds said our government needs to be reminded that "money doesn't grow on trees" as she eyes limits to municipal revenue growth. House Minority Leader Rep. Brian Meyer countered after her speech that Iowa is in a "fiscal death spiral" due to previous tax cuts. On this Politics Day edition of River to River, political analysts Dave Peterson and Jonathan Hassid help us dissect Iowa Republicans' legislative agenda, a growing number of independents and the future of Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Iowa has been awarded a $209 million federal grant to expand and improve health care across the state — the first installment of what officials say could total $1 billion over the next five years. The funding is part of the federal Rural Health Transformation Program and is aimed at strengthening access to care, equipment and workforce development in rural communities. Leaders from Iowa's critical access hospitals talk about what this funding could mean on the ground and why they say it falls far short of what rural providers are bracing for. We also discuss workforce shortages, the challenge of recruiting specialists like OB-GYNs, and the “hub and spoke” model Gov. Kim Reynolds has promoted to reshape rural health care delivery. Later, host Charity Nebbe announces Talk of Iowa's 2026 Book Club selections with IPR talk show producer, Caitlin Troutman.
Gov. Kim Reynolds has created a nuclear energy task force. The superintendent of Sioux City Public Schools has officially resigned. Democratic lawmakers in the Iowa House are proposing tax rebates for homeowners and renters.

Then we talk about what's changed about the legislature over the decades with former state lawmaker Andy McKean and how Iowans can effectively get involved during the session with lobbyist Dustin Miller. Also, we talk with journalist and host of 'Iowa Press' on Iowa PBS O. Kay Henderson about Gov. Kim Reynolds' tenure and what's to come for her final year in office.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 11-06-2025:>/p> Dr. Dawn interviews Cindy Jackonette and Dr. Michael Alexander about a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer awareness on November 15th at Bargetto Winery from 2-5pm, supporting the Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group. Dr. Alexander explains pancreatic cancer has only 10-15% five-year survival rates and is difficult to screen for. Screening involves complex endoscopy procedures examining pancreatic ducts, CT scans and biomarker scans. The disease represents 3% of cancer cases but 8% of deaths. Immune checkpoint inhibitors show limited success except in Lynch syndrome patients with DNA repair defects. The Santa Cruz Cancer Benefit Group donates annually to local cancer organizations and is all volunteer-run with minimal overhead. An emailer asks when her 56-year-old half-African American son should get colon cancer screening given his father and uncle both had the disease. Dr. Dawn explains African Americans have increased risk and recommends immediate colonoscopy despite the ideal screening window being 10 years ago. She emphasizes identifying whether he produces polyps, which would require surveillance every 3-5 years. Unlike pancreatic cancer, colon cancer is highly curable when detected early, with death rates dropping 30-40% since colonoscopies became standard in the mid-1990s. She recommends preventive measures including daily 200mg ibuprofen (if no ulcer history) and a high-fiber diet rich in colorful vegetables containing antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress and DNA damage from free radicals. An emailer from Israel asks about supporting his 38-year-old son's rectal adenocarcinoma treatment. Dr. Dawn recommends nutritional strategies including juicing 10 different fruits and vegetables daily, 20mg melatonin for synergy with chemotherapy, vitamin D supplementation, and L-glutamine as primary food for bowel healing and lymphocyte function. She suggests DHA fish oil to enhance chemotherapy effectiveness, green tea for oncogene inhibition, astragalus herb to increase phagocytic activity and natural killer cells, and rotating water-extracted mushroom formulas with beta-glucans, particularly maitake and shitake. Glutamine also protects mucous membranes from radiation burns. Dr. Dawn discusses alarming cancer rate increases among young adults in Corn Belt states including Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas. Since 2015, these states show 5% higher cancer rates for ages 15-49 compared to national averages, with particularly elevated kidney and skin cancer rates. Young women face 66% higher skin cancer risk than peers in other states. . Governor Kim Reynolds invested $1 million for research while Bayer's attempt to shield Roundup from lawsuits failed. Dr. Dawn notes Roundup now contains diquat after removing glyphosate. It has taken decades to accumulate evidence of glyphosates harms, She warns that absence of evidence of Diquats being harmful isn't evidence of safety and that Ames testing suggests high mutation potential. An emailer shares a JAMA article on lithium for Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Dawn explains that calcium dysregulation through NMDA receptors plays an upstream role in Alzheimer's pathology. Lithium, a bipolar disorder treatment, can reset deranged calcium gates, inhibiting mitochondrial damage and tau protein production. She emphasizes tau protein as the true culprit in Alzheimer's while amyloid beta is more symptomatic. Correcting calcium homeostasis allows neuronal autophagy systems to clear waste more efficiently rather than being overwhelmed. She reports dramatic peanut allergy declines following 2017 pediatric recommendations for introducing peanuts at 4-6 months based on the LEAP study showing 81% reduction. Between 2017-2020, peanut allergies dropped from 0.79% to 0.45% of all children under 3, with overall food allergies declining 36%. Studies also show pregnant mothers eating peanuts reduces offspring allergy risk by promoting immune tolerance. We conclude with breakthrough wireless retinal implants for macular degeneration, where cameras on glasses convert images to near-infrared signals to retinal implants which stimulate surviving retinal neurons. The prototype allowed patients to improve by two lines on eye charts and perceive facial expressions and read smaller print.
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.
