It's often a topic that makes people uncomfortable and doesn't get talked about near enough but it's a serious problem that needs attention - Domestic violence, sexual assault & trafficking. It's also a topic that's personally important to Simon, Mrs. C and everyone involved with S.A.F.E. Center of Iowa. They tell Simon about the new facility opening in late summer/early fall of 2026 that will increase their ability to help men and women in the most desperate of situations. Everything from clinical care, testing, education, counseling, law enforcement protection, legal assistance and most importantly ensuring these victims feel seen, heard, protected and empowered! Listen how you can become involved!

From international issues to local solutions, Simon covers both this hour. He begins by talking to Iowa's own, Matt Whitaker, who is currently serving as the U.S. Ambassador to NATO about last week's NATO conference in Davos, Switzerland. Later, he talks to the caring people behind S.A.F.E. Center of Iowa. They provide clinical & support services to victims of sexual assault here in Iowa.

With so much focus on Greenland and NATO there's no better expert than Iowa's own Matt Whitaker who is the currant Ambassador to NATO. He and Simon discuss the latest from last week's meeting of NATO allies and what the most likely outcome will be in the near future.

It's been a whirlwind of news coming out of Minnesota over the weekend with another shooting involving ICE officers with the death of protestor Alex Pretti, a nurse at the MN VA hospital. Simon discusses the facts we know so far, this morning's phone call between President Trump and MN Governor Tim Walz and the plan for coming changes that was announced in today's White House press briefing.

Later, IA Governor Kim Reynolds tells Simon all about her surprise visit to Syria, Jordan, Iraq & Kuwait last week to see our deployed Iowa National Guard members. She says this experience is "the highlight of my entire career".
