Red, White amp; Real Talk: Pride, Policy amp; a Patriotic Party (07-2-25)

It’s July 2nd, and Kev and Scott are officially in vacation mode… sort of. Before heading into the long Fourth of July weekend, What's On Your Mind broadcasts a jam-packed episode featuring a blend of patriotism, political realism, and a whole lot of community buzz. You’ll hear spirited takes on why American pride is slipping (Gallup’s new poll shows only 58% of Americans say they’re proud to be American), fiery debate about the future of democracy, and a serious breakdown of tax policy with CPA Kent Busek. Plus, there's a surprise victory for Riley Gaines and common sense at UPenn, and a full-on fair preview with Sophia Thompson of the Red River Valley Fair. ⏱️ Timestamps for Standout Moments: [00:00 – 03:30] – Show open + 4th of July plans + Petro Serve USA giveaway!
