The World Will Remember Nothing: From Iranian Bluster to Fargo Real Talk (06-18-25)

On today's What's On Your Mind, Scott and the crew unpack the latest international drama with trademark wit and North Dakota clarity. Iran’s bombastic "world-shaking surprise" turns out to be a big nothing-burger, but the real headlines are closer to home. From a breakdown of May immigration numbers (hint: Biden vs. Trump = 62,000 vs. 0) to a deep dive into Fargo’s early prison releases, blue-collar wage growth, and a heart-to-heart with Police Chief Dave Zibolski, this episode is a blend of global geopolitics, local leadership, and Midwest wisdom. Plus, Trump's 100-foot flagpole, a “happy warrior” take on the national mood, and a forecast from Dean Wysocki that’s as hot as the upcoming weekend. Whether you're in Bismarck or Baku, this episode's got something for everyone with a pulse on policy. ⏱️ STANDOUT MOMENTS: [00:00] - Iran’s "World-Shaking Surprise" (Spoiler: It Wasn't) The guys roast Iranian state media’s epic bluff and compare it to a high schooler taunting Mike Tyson.
