Listen Later

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.

[17:39] RFK Jr. on the "Actual" Donald Trump Scott plays a surprising clip of Robert F.

[22:21] A Standing Ovation for Border Laws In a "blind test," Scott plays a speech about aggressively securing borders and deporting criminal aliens.
