In this intense and eye-opening edition of What’s On Your Mind, Scott Hennen and Kevin Flynn are joined by two Persian-Americans, Raheel and Amir, to pull back the curtain on what is truly happening inside Iran during the current ceasefire. While Western news cycles focus on diplomatic negotiations and 15-point proposals, our guests share harrowing first-hand reports of a "garrison state" where public executions of teenagers continue at dawn and foreign militias control the streets of Tehran. The conversation explores the struggle of Iranian students in the U.S. facing visa pauses, the "mafia-like" tactics of the Southern Poverty Law Center, and why negotiating with the current regime is, in the words of our guests, "negotiating with the devil." Plus, a look at the future of the North Dakota farm economy and a heartwarming "Salute to Smiles" for a local veteran.

[26:19] – The E15 Market Signal Matt Perdue, President of the North Dakota Farmers Union, explains why year-round E15 is the "stable demand" engine needed to support 95 million acres of American corn. [27:03] – Creating the Problem Scott and Kevin tackle the investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging the group funded the very extremist rallies they later used to solicit donations and defame political opponents. [30:61] – The Titanic of Health Dr. Mike Jorgensen uses a powerful analogy about the Titanic to explain why a "Wellness Score" is vital—arguing that it wasn’t just the iceberg that sank the ship,…
