6/22/2026 THE SIMON CONWAY SHOW Hour 1

All across the great state of Iowa, it is the Simon Conway show. It is 408 on Monday, June 22. Can you feel it? Can you feel it? A little bit chilly, little chill in the air, maybe. The nights are drawing in now. Yes, they are. Looking over it, Dave. He's nodding sagely. Yesterday, of course, was the longest day of the year, which means today is shorter than yesterday. Because that's how these things work. Uh, any, Mrs. Seas are shaking ahead. What's up, honey? Don't make my summer disappear in the blink of an eye, please. It's not me. Don't blame me. I don't make the rules. It's just a thing that it is. We had an interesting weekend. Hopefully you did too. We have a new partnership on the show, which we're very proud of. I get to speak on behalf of the Animal Rescue League of Iowa now. That's really very cool, right? Very happy about that. And we go down to, we made a quick video over the weekend. I'm not sure if you guys saw it. Hopefully you did. It was on the social media. So hopefully you guys got to, got to see that. And if you did, well, then you know basically what occurred. So what occurred was very simple, really, Mrs. C, right? Yes, you found a way. to play with puppies and see cute kittens and all these other animals and call it work. Very genius of you. It was ingenious of me. But something else happened because when we go in, Mrs. C says we are not bringing home another dog. Under no circumstances are you to bring home another dog. That is not going to happen. Put that out of your head. And let's go and do the thing that we need to do, and then we'll go and do the next thing that we need to do, pretty much. So we go in, and that's the plan, right? That is indeed the plan. And I have no intention of getting another dog at all. And then, well, then along comes ladybug. I feel like this was a setup. Ladybug? Yep. Nope, not in the slate. I don't know about that. I feel pretty confident that you must have called ahead of time and said, okay, you walk this dog down the hallway at a specific moment. So she just happens to see the most adorable little girl. Ladybug had a medical appointment. Yes, she did. Yeah, how convenient was that? We were right in front of the doctor door. I have never in my life had... A dog. Come over to greet me and hug me like that on her tune high and legs. She really did. She just wrapped her front and little paws around me and just held on. Uh-huh. She says, you're mine. Pretty much. So now Mrs. C is trying to convince me we need a third dog.

Trying to convince you. Mm-hmm. Okay, this is probably going to be the easiest thing I've ever done in our marriage. Ladybug is not quite ready for adoption. She has a couple of little medical issues she needs to take care of. And once she is ready, Mrs. C is going to get the first phone call, apparently. I don't know how you managed to wrangle that either. You know, I guess it's just as coincidental as, you know, you saying she had a quote, medical appointment walker down the hallway is april standing there nope nothing to do with me meanwhile we have another new uh partnership as well that we uh get to announce with uh the crosswork Cross Roads, excuse me, Fireworks, Des Moines Superstore. You know I love fireworks? If we're going to celebrate Fourth of July, we need to do it properly, just like John Adams had imagined back in the day when he wrote to his wonderful wife and told him, told her, from this day forward, I am paraphrasing John Adams, however. This date, he was talking about July 2nd as well. the correct day of our independence, but he took two days to tell everybody. So he's like, from this day forward, we will mark this anniversary with, amongst other things, Illuminations, which was back then the word for fireworks. And boy, oh boy, are we ever going to do that? And if you want some... Well, my goodness, there is a 10,000 square foot fireworks superstore. And we're actually going to be broadcast in the show from there on Thursday. It's on northeast 14th Street, right off 8035. It's not a tent. It's not a stand. It is a full retail superstore built just for fireworks. It's clean. It's bright. It's air-conditioned. It's comfortable. It's Iowa's largest fireworks superstore. And, of course, using fireworks is legal everywhere in Iowa, July 3rd and 4th. Mm-hmm. Anyway, you need to go and check out some of these stuff. Like, for example, there's a 24-shell artillery kit. It's under 80 bucks at Crossroads. Amazing stuff. So you keep hearing things that are cheaper than Missouri. That is true. It's cheaper than Missouri here. And we will be out there on Thursday. I'm very, very excited to see what that is all about. So all kinds of things are going on right now with the show. And if that isn't enough for you, well...

We, and by we, I mean the FBI, have now taken into custody a sixth person. We still have a ways to go here, by the way. But a sixth person has now been taken into custody for the alleged attack that was thwarted on the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. Yep. This person is apparently the money man. The FBI has now publicly identified this person and court documents have been unsealed. It's from in the Western District of Missouri and Jim Jordan W. Rinka. He's from Missouri. He's an alleged member of the conspiracy. So now we have six publicly identified defendants. And when I say we have a ways to go, remember, we were told there were 23. We have six. Math is hard, but not that hard. That's a quarter of them. So we have quite a long way to go to get everybody involved in this conspiracy, allegedly involved in this conspiracy, but the authorities hopefully are doing what they need to do. As you, if you remember, which I'm sure you do, we got lucky. We got lucky because the mom of what we currently know is the youngest person, that person, mom called. Local police and the sheriff's office and said, yeah, I'm not happy about what I'm seeing here. Now, did they have the wherewithal to actually carry out the attack as planned? The attack as planned was exploding drones on nearby buildings to the White House. That would have caused a massive evacuation and some of those people would have been evacuated into a sniper's nest. and they would have picked off as many people as they could. That was the plan. The other part of the plan was then apparently they were going to storm the White House. That would not have happened. And if it did happen, it wouldn't have lasted very long at all. So that was the plan. Did they have the wherewithal to carry it out? I really don't know. But the bottom line is the alleged conspiracy is a conspiracy and people need to pay a price for that if they are found. Guilty. So that's where we are with that. Talking of paying a price, we'll talk about Anthony Fauci next. The last thing that the former DNI did before she left office was she released an unclassified a whole bunch of documents, which point fingers directly at Dr. Anthony Fauci. We're going to talk about that next. Right now, my friends, though, I want to talk about Nova. Audio Nova. That's who I want to talk to you about because we got a new offer, let me tell you, right? It's unbelievable, actually. These people are life-changing. So first of all, if you're in the Des Moines part, we're...

talking to the whole state. They have a brand new state-of-the-art location in Clive. That's at 9755 University Avenue in Indian Hills. It's bigger. It's more advanced. It's built to give you the best hearing care in Iowa. I've been inside this place. It is first class. And so are the people. That is actually the clinic that I use with Audio Nova. They are really, really great people. So if you go in there right now or any of the other clinics in Iowa for that manner, you're going to get up to... $2,200 off top level hearing technology. They have exclusive Simon pricing. You're going to get a free, totally free. Roger remote microphone included with the premium systems. You can put that in the middle of a table in a crowded, noisy restaurant. It has six actually directional microphones. You just stick it on an upturned glass and quite literally... The entire conversation will play directly into your ears. It is remarkable. So you get all these savings up front. It matters. It matters now as well. Summer, right? You know, I made a joke about summer at the beginning of the show, but it is summer. You don't want to miss the music, the laughter, the conversations. You do not want to miss any of that. The road trips, patios, grandkids, ball games. Don't sit it out. Summer gets louder, right? Your hearing needs to keep up. That is absolutely for sure. So, what your experience is, what I did, didn't realize what I was missing until I could hear properly again. You're going to get clearer conversations, less strain, more confidence everywhere you go. And you need to take the next step. Iowa hearing.com. Go to Iowahearing.com.

All across the great state of Iowa, it is the Simon Conway Show. I hope you all the dads out there had a fabulous Father's Day. Mrs. C went out and got me some, my... Special breakfast that I love. She made it. She used the very important extra ingredient. Love. Of course I did. Actually, it was Father's Day, so I did like a double dose. Double dose of love. And never-ending mimosas. That's right, because we didn't have to go anywhere so you could have bottomless mimosas and stay in your pajama pants until three in the afternoon. Yeah. And then, yeah, I did that. And I did some chores. Yeah, it was a nice relaxing Sunday. It was a nice relaxing Sunday. I enjoyed your Father's Day. And got to see a movie, a true story about saying I knew nothing about. A 12-year-old, I wonder if Dave knows anything about this, a 12-year-old served in the United States Navy on a battleship, no less, during World War II. Did you know about this, Dave? I did not. Yeah, neither did I. True story, 12-year-old, probably the youngest person to serve in the military, certainly in the last 125 years. Yeah. At least. And he got caught.

Got caught, being 12, and they messed up the paperwork, and they accused him of desertion, which he had not done. In fact, he, by all accounts, was a very, very good sailor, was on a gun crew, and he's actually the top gun crew on the battleship, so he did really, really well. And the captain was very sympathetic, but had to send him back, and they messed it all up, and he got put in the brig. Wow. A really awful experience. Yeah, they were quite harsh. Oh, yeah. Because he was, you know, in terms of the paperwork, he was a deserter. And eventually he tried numerous times just to get words to his sister about where he was, and she eventually figured it out and went and got him. But yeah, it actually did. It took till President Carter, however, to restore his medals, because they took his medals away, including two Purple Hearts at 12. and get him an honorable discharge from the military. However, they never got him his VA benefits. Wow. That is a fascinating story. I've never heard that. Yeah. A lot of people signed up underage. Right. But he was the youngest, I think. And to make it even better, the main character was played by Ricky Schroeder from Silver Spoons. Nothing from Dave. Really? Crickets? Neither one of y'all? I know who Rookie Schroeder is, yeah. Just not that impressed, apparently. I mean, he's still working. That's good. There you know. Look, women my age? Yeah. Makes our heart pitter-patter. Kind of like the karate kid. Same level. But you, it completely went over. You had no idea who I was talking about when I saw the movie. Come on. Not a clue. Not a clue. So I just found it funny that they tried to get... I mean, this was definitely filmed during his Silver Spoon era, but like midway through. So I had a hard time believing that Ricky Stroder was actually 12, but it was a really good movie. It was a good movie, and it was, big chunks of it were filmed on a battleship. I suspect it was the Alabama, because it was that era battleship. The ship he was on was B.B. 57, South Dakota. Okay. Maybe 57 from South Dakota. Anyway, and I suspect that they used Alabama because I believe when they filmed this movie, Iowa was still in mothballs. We also finished watching Triumph, the story of Jesse Owens. That's an excellent. That was really good. But it's also sad how that whole thing ended up because, you know, here is this man, he goes out and he does all the things that he needs to do. And then when he...

It's absolutely appalling, frankly, and it is also straight out of the Deep State Playbook. So what else do we have? Oh, and by the way, The Washington Post didn't publish a single word of the declassified documents that the DNI had released. Not one word, but they did a 9,000-word hit piece on her. Kind of astonishing. Now, the other thing you need to remember is that Anthony Fauci is protected. On the very last hour of Joe Biden's office as President of the United States, he backpardoned him. Went back 11 years, very specific number, to pardon Anthony Fauci of everything. However, Senator Rand Paul, who has been on this show many times, he says that that should be challenged in a court for a number of reasons. Reason number one. The pardon was done by the auto pen. Who was using it? Who did it? Did Biden know about it? Does it actually get to stand up? I don't know. I really don't know, but it's certainly unusual what he did. Having said that, Fouches 85. So here's what we know for sure now, which we all really knew. You know, those of us with three brain cells to rub together, we already knew this, right? We already knew it.

COVID was not caused by somebody in a so-called wet market in Wuhan taking a bite out of a dodgy bat. Remember when they tried to sell that to us? Oh, yeah. There's this thing called a wet market where they sell, you know, bats and someone took a bite out of one. Remember that? Nope. Not on, not from a dodgy bat. This is a man-made virus. Not only is it a man-made virus, but then we used gain-of-function research, which Rand Paul has been screaming about for a very long time now, to see exactly how far we could take this virus. And then it escaped from that lab. You know, look, some people think it was deliberate. I don't think we have the evidence that it was deliberate, but the other thing that we should point out, is that let's say it was an accident. China played very close attention. China now knows exactly how they can shut the world down, right? Exactly how they can close the world. They know.

So who's responsible for however many people died? That's the other thing. We don't know how many people died because, you know, if you died in a car wreck but you had COVID two weeks before, you were listed as a COVID death. If you were murdered and you had COVID before you were murdered, you were listed as a COVID death. So we don't really know how many people died. They want you to believe it was millions and millions and millions and it may well have been, but we don't know. We don't know. So it took Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence to tell us exactly what it is that went down. And what it is that went down is something we should be ashamed of. You and I paid for it. You and I paid for COVID to be a thing. Without tax dollars, which he directed, got sent to the lab in Wuhan, China. And then made it a thousand times worse than it needed to be. We should be very concerned about this, and we should not let it go, even though Anthony Fauci is 85 and protected. I still believe we need to get to the bottom of it. I still believe someone should take that pardon to a court and see if it stands up. And you know, we talk about this all the time. I hate that you can go judge shopping. I hate that that's a thing. I hate that we don't have judges that simply look at the law and not their personal politics when it comes to imposing the law. But we don't. We have judges of liberal persuasion. We have judges of conservative persuasion. And whenever the liberals want to shut down the president, they go judge shopping and they know the result. It's predetermined because of who the case is being heard before. Conservatives can do that too, you know. And maybe they need to. Maybe they need to.

At the very least, this pardon needs to be questioned. And I'm good with him being nervous about it because of everything he did, all the things he tried to do. He tried to stop you from worshipping in the way you wished to worship. He locked up grandma. He did. If grandma was in a home, he locked her up. If you could get her to a particular window, you could wavered her through the window. He wouldn't let you go out for dinner with your friends. Well, unless you know your name was Gavin Newsom. Then he was okay if you went out for dinner with your friends. Oops, got caught, didn't you, Gavin? That guy wants to be president. Wow. Here's the one thing we cannot do as a country. We cannot take what Tulsi Gabbard gave us and ignore it. That would be another crime, frankly. 515-284-1040, 284-1040. You can text us at 81530. You can send us a talkback. This is the Simon Conway show. All across the great state of Iowa, it is the Simon Conway show. We're talking about Anthony Fauci. We've got a couple of text messages. Simon, how dare you question for science? Remember Anthony Fauci said he is the science. I do remember that. Yes. It was kind of funny. Most everybody knew Anthony felt he had, most everybody knew that Anthony Fauci had something to do. I'm translating your text. Maybe it was talked text with COVID-19. Question I got right now is why didn't Trump release this information over a year ago? You're assuming he has it, right? I mean, this came out of the Office of National Intelligence. And if you think that Tulsi Gabbard was able to release that without the president's approval, you would be wrong. She doesn't get to declassify stuff without talking to the president of the United States. You say it needs to be proven that the auto pen was used for pardon. It doesn't. It was used. There's no question. The auto pen, particularly in Anthony Fauci's case, I believe in Hunter Biden's case as well, was used for the pardons. There's no question about that at all. But certainly in Anthony Fauci's case, I would have to double check Hunter Biden. But certainly in Anthony Fauci's case, that was a last hour of the presidency. And just think about this. Last hour of his presidency, he probably was in the Oval. He may have been wandering around the building before he had to get to where he was going. Remember, there was a last minute change of plan because the last hour of President Biden's time in office, he has to figure out how he's getting to the inauguration. But a pardon was signed.

by an auto pen, who had control of the auto pen. It is Rand Paul that wants this tested in a court, and I believe it should be tested in a court. Tulsi Gabbard-Gabod is very clear. Anthony Fauci lied to Congress. That is a serious crime. And she says she has the receipts. It's a serious crime. You can't even lie to the FBI. Okay? Right? You lied to the FBI. That's a crime. You lie to Congress. You've got to feel that's a bigger crime. I'm thinking, looking at Mrs. C. What do you think? Bigger crime? She's munching on something. That's okay. Stop giving away my secrets and leave my cheese stick alone. I would think that that is a bigger crime. Yeah, under oath. But is that listed right next to where it's illegal for them to lie to us? Because I think I missed that role somewhere. No, that goes with the job. There's probably a class they have to take. How to lie to America, I feel. For members of Congress, I feel they have to do that. But the bottom line is, if you lie to Congress whilst under oath, that is a serious crime. and he's going they should at the very least drag his happy butt in front of their committee again at the very least they should subpoena him and just put him through the mill a little bit. I have no issue with that. I have no issue because of what they did to completely innocent people when the boot was on the other foot. I have no issue with that. My friend Sam Clovers went to hell and back for literally nothing, a man who served our country for 50 years. Do you think he lied to Congress because he truly thought he could... get away with it and keep things hidden in dark or do you think it was ego he had the intelligence community on his side who were helping him cover up i think it was absolutely deliberate he knew exactly what he was doing that's what i believe so uh that's where we are right now and this needs not be the end of the story you just asked me a question i answered it honey i know it wasn't quite the question i was asking oh sorry we'll do it again we got time Well, do you think that he lied because of his ego and he thought he'd get away with it? Or do you think he lied because he didn't think it truly needed to be out there and that it was covered up enough? I mean, there's two different things that can drive a lie. Well, I think, as Rand Paul accused him of, I think there's some personal gain here as well. I think he lied for a variety of reasons. But to me, he loved the control that he had over the nation. Yes. A lot of people definitely started looking him very godlike during that time. Very much so. He was stopping people from praying. Think about that. This man has a lot to answer for. At the very least, they need to drag his happy butt. Back to Congress. This is the Simon Conwish.
