And Simon talks to Chris McGowan who is running for the seat currently held by Congresswoman Ashley Hinson who hopes to replace Sen. Ernst.

Simon talks to business owner, Property Developer & former IA House Rep. Joe Mitchell who has announced he is running for U.S. House of Representatives in the 2nd District currently held by Congresswoman Ashley Hinson. His top priorities for strong leadership - introducing a term limits proposal for Congress and a ban on stock trading for elected officials and their spouses. Later, Simon talks to Ginny Schindalar, VP of ABC Trades & Training, about their statewide competition for high school students interested in the trades. This is a great opportunity to grow interests in the trades - HVAC, electrical, carpentry, plumbing - and encourage Iowa High Schoolers to follow interests in hands on careers.

Simon talks to Michael Ware from the Iowa Firearms Coalition over a story that is the definition of "you won't believe your ears"! A tourist from the UK had the chance of a lifetime while on vacation in Florida - go spend a day at a gun range - and later did what most people would do...post a photo on social media. But days later he was ARRESTED because his vacation photo was deemed "intended to frighten", offensive and under English law was considered stalking & threatening. Simon & Michael talk about this insanity and more!

Simon's back from a vacation week of rest, recharging & Thanksgiving. And WOW, he is definitely recharged & fired up over a $45 fee, the TSA's most recent "extension" of the Real ID law passed in 2005 and an insane story from England involving Florida, a vacation photo and an arrest over a social media post that *might* offend or "frighten" others. Your won't believe your ears!

Holidays are busy but they don't have to be stressful. That's what COE of the Iowa Machine Shed, Jeff Grunder, wants to help you avoid. Think smarter, not harder & spend time in the family room WITH THE FAMILY and not in the kitchen slaving away FOR THE FAMILY; Jeff tells you how!

Simon talks to Elinore McCance-Katz, former Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services for Mental Health and Substance Use about the current mental health crisis we are facing nationwide, including the shocking statistic that for every 100,000 Americans there are only 18 designated & available beds for those facing a mental health crisis!

Greg Chance, from Authentic Brand, presents a donation check LIVE on air to the Blue Star Mothers of America - Iowa Chapter. This year all proceeds from the Simon Conway Show Veterans Day hat went to the Blue Star Moms. Katie Ernst, Chapter Secretary, and April Conway, (Mrs. C) Chapter Vice President, share their appreciation and plans for 2026.

Recently, 6 federally elected Democrats made & released a video directed to our U.S. military that has caused quite the stir. Why you may wonder? Because they are openly encouraging our troops to disobey & defy orders from their commanders!! Simon had a lot to say about this...and so did some listeners! Later, he lightens the mood with Thanksgiving traditions. Does your family have a tradition they've done for years? Is there something you do with your children that you remember doing with your parents? Simon & Mrs C have a favorite tradition - A NAP!
