On Episode 406 of The Angela Box Show, Angela goes in on America's COVID amnesia
Anthony Fauci faced the Senate and answered with the Fifth Amendment—111 times. John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller unpack the “explosive non-testimony,” the legacy Fauci and Francis Collins left behind, and how federal research funding helped create a market for fetal tissue obtained from abortion providers. They revisit Sen. Joni Ernst's questions about fetal-tissue research, David Daleiden's Planned Parenthood investigations, and why so many Americans now see medicine through a political lens. Then, in Stories from the Sidewalk, Linda Teliha shares what happens when a pregnant young woman arrives at Planned Parenthood with a car full of friends, why the quiet friend may matter most, and how one flower, one honest conversation, and one person willing to say “I'll help you” can change everything.

IN this episode Dr. Anthony Fauci’s appearance before a Senate hearing became the focus of intense scrutiny after he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights rather than answer lawmakers’ questions about COVID-era policies, decision-making, and government transparency. The hearing also featured disputes between committee members, attorneys, and witnesses, highlighting the ongoing political and public debate surrounding the pandemic response.Supporters and critics viewed the proceedings through very different lenses. Some lawmakers argued that the hearing was a necessary examination of decisions that affected schools, businesses, churches, travel, and everyday life during the pandemic. Others characterized the hearing as politically motivated and defended Fauci’s public service record. Also in this Ben discusses exchanges with senators including Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, Joni Ernst, Ashley Moody, and Bernie Moreno, and the broader debate over accountability, transparency, and the long-term consequences of COVID-19 policies. They also examine reactions from President Donald Trump, media commentary defending Fauci, and continuing disagreements over school closures, distancing guidelines, vaccine messaging, and government authority during public health emergencies.Topics Covered: Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment during Senate questioning Questions from senators regarding COVID-19 policies and government decision-making Debate over school closures, distancing guidelines, and public health restrictions Discussion of transparency, accountability, and congressional oversight Reactions from President Donald Trump and members of Congress Media coverage and competing interpretations of Fauci’s legacy Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst says Congress needs to know the terms of an initial deal to end the war with Iran. Council Bluffs council members voted down a moratorium on data center projects. And there's a new coalition in central Iowa trying to address cancer rates.
Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson are back in the Hendrickson Library for a week-in-review episode — Chris flying without his Dr. Pepper Zero. Trivia wraps last week's Smoot-Hawley question and a new one goes out just in time for Independence Day: what president was born on July 4th?The episode opens on the Ian Roberts saga — the KCCI interview, the body cam arrest footage, and the stubborn contingent of Iowa liberals still defending him. From there, a quick take on the Iran ceasefire deal: $300 billion, sanctions relief, and a memorandum of understanding that raises more questions than it answers. Senator Joni Ernst wants to know where the money is coming from, and Chris and John share the concern.The back half turns to Iowa. Rob Sand's residency hit on Zach Lahn gets dissected — Chris sees it as an act of desperation that wastes the political capital Sand needs to actually define his candidacy. Sand's self-described "audit" of the Iowa Students First (ESA) program draws an equally pointed response: it's a partisan press conference, not an audit, and private school families across Iowa are paying attention.John closes with a piece he authored on the Electoral College and its importance to rural states — prompted by Virginia's governor signing on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The episode ends with a preview of what will become a regular theme between now and November: vote yes on the constitutional amendment to make it harder to raise taxes in Iowa.0:12 Welcome & housekeeping1:44 Trivia: Smoot-Hawley answer & July 4th question4:36 Ian Roberts KCCI interview and arrest footage7:11 Liberals still defending Roberts9:17 Iran ceasefire deal12:46 DOGE: what happened to the savings?14:16 Sand's residency hit on Lahn18:10 Sand's ESA "audit"23:35 ESA, private schools, and taxpayer dollars25:31 ITR poll coming soon26:05 John's Electoral College article27:26 Virginia joins National Popular Vote Compact30:35 Jungle primaries and left-wing election changes33:28 Constitutional amendment — vote yes this fall

Todd Blanche, Josh Turek, Ashley Hinson, Tim McBride, and Spencer Pratt headline today's A.M. Update. Trump tells Miranda Devine at the New York Post he wants acting AG Todd Blanche to stay permanently, and Aaron says the DOJ's activity record makes it hard to argue with. California primary results are still trickling in with Steve Hilton leading the Republican field at 27.8% and Spencer Pratt trailing Karen Bass by only about four points with votes still outstanding, and Aaron breaks down the campaign lessons Pratt's run already offers any candidate willing to learn them. Secretary of State Marco Rubio methodically dismantles Senator Jacky Rosen's gotcha question about the Pakistan negotiations, then tells Congressman Tim McBride that Greenland is part of Denmark "for now" — and Aaron says that was the best line of the week. Iowa's general election matchup is now set: Republican Ashley Hinson faces Paralympic gold medalist and Democrat Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's retiring Senate seat, and Aaron closes with a deep dive on what Zach Lahn's populist anti-big-ag message means for Iowa politics and why it might quietly split the Democratic coalition in November.

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. Sometimes the best local control stories come from next door.0:01:35 - Welcome Back to the Hendrickson Library0:03:37 - Trivia0:05:23 - Governor Signs the Property Tax Bill0:06:48 - Local Government Doom and Gloom — Is Any of It Real?0:10:17 - That's the Point: Why the Complaints Are Actually Good News0:14:22 - The Legislature Stood Up to the Lobby — And That Matters0:18:14 - How Iowa's Reform Compares to What Other States Got0:22:17 - Governor's Race Check-In: What's on TV and Why It Matters0:24:11 - Randy Feenstra0:25:58 - Zach Lahn0:30:40 - Adam Steen0:31:29 - Brad Sherman0:32:22 - Can Anyone Break Away?

President Trump is hitting the road today, traveling to Iowa to kick off campaign events for this year's Midterm Elections in hopes that Republicans can keep control of both the House and the Senate.
