TRIGGER WARNING: Allegations of sexual abuse and crimes against women, girls, and children. As the U.S. led war against Iran approaches its first full week, this pod delves into Jeffrey Epstein's correspondence regarding Iran and other countries in the Middle East. After a quick summary of disjointed statements made by the current administration about their decision to again strike Iran during negotiations, we take an unsettling look at why Operation Epic Fury might also be expensive Crusade/Holy-War cosplay for some. Then, a chronological dive into conversations Epstein had about Iran within his well-connected circle of influence. Those conversations reveal a group of verbose old men that seem to be responsible for winning over Middle East royalty, swaying diplomacy, challenging elections abroad, and flexing fear mongering strategies to sway the masses. Per usual, the Epstein Files reveal that sadistic sex trafficking was just one element that bound together a global network of men with access to money and the perception of power. BONUS: Iran's geography, the Strait of Hormuz, and the significance of the 2015 "Iran Nuclear Deal", formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Mark Friese, a long-time criminal defense attorney who has worked some high-profile cases, including serving as disgraced former lawmaker Ray Holmberg's attorney, has been appointed to the North Dakota Supreme Court by Gov. Kelly Armstrong. Why does he want to serve on the court? "It's a lot easier to be critical of the court when you're sitting on the opposite side of the table," he told us on this episode of Plain Talk. "I'm hopeful that I can impact some change and offer a perspective that's, quite frankly, not been held by the court previously." Friese will be the only member of the Supreme Court with a background in criminal defense. He also touted his background as a former police officer, and working in the military courts as a member of the North Dakota National Guard, as unique experiences he can bring to the bench. While expressing deep respect for the current justices, he also had some criticism.  "There are instances where the court has not been consistent in its rationale, consistent in its reasoning," he said. "I think practitioners need to be able to rely on those decisions and know how those decisions are going to come down, and we haven't seen that universally from our court." In the past the Supreme Court has pushed toward allowing more digital access to court records, but it's a project that hasn't been completed yet. Friese said he thinks public access is important, but also noted that information contained in court records can be exploited for fraud and other nefarious reasons. "There has to be a careful balance. The public has a right to know. You have a right to sit in the courtroom. You have a right to access the docket," he said. "But the danger exists when those court records are used for improper purposes." He also said that serving on the bench will be "isolating" in a way, as he will no longer be able to serve clients, and he won't be able to speak as freely publicly about issues he's passionate about. "I had a great big box full of cards and letters and thank you notes from clients and their families for helping them through difficult times. I'm really going to miss that aspect of practice," he said. "Being on the court is going to be isolating. I won't be able to speak as openly and publicly as I have in the past on issues." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discussed the upcoming Democratic-NPL and NDGOP conventions, the NDGOP's proposed rule to fine disloyal members, the state of North Dakota's legislative races, and we responded to some listener feedback.

Tonight on NJ Spotlight News, colleges across the state are feeling the pinch.

California taxpayers are funding Kamala Harris’ multi‑city book‑tour security, with dozens of CHP officers escorting her in the U.S. and abroad but the state won’t say how much it costs or how long it will continue. Critics argue the secrecy raises concerns about using public resources for a private, money‑making tour. Gov. Gavin Newsom warned he may pull state funding from 10 “underperforming” counties including Fresno, LA, San Francisco, Kern, and Riverside for failing to meet benchmarks under his CARE Court mental‑health and homelessness program. He blasted the counties for filing too few treatment petitions and said he’ll redirect money to better‑performing regions, while local officials pushed back, arguing low petition numbers don’t reflect failure and that counties need more funding, not threats to improve services.

While Saving Elephants is dedicated to offering the conservative intellectual tradition in mercifully modern vernacular, fellow podcaster Nic Dunn has been on a similar mission: making the work of policy institutions more digestible.  Nic joins Josh for a conversation around the important role policy can play in defusing political tension, alleviating poverty, and expanding the freedom and opportunities all Americans seek.   About Nic Dunn Bio from Sutherland Institute   Nic Dunn serves as Vice President of Strategy and Senior Fellow at Sutherland Institute. As VP of Strategy, Nic oversees the execution and strategic external impact of Sutherland's written and multimedia policy content. In his capacity as Senior Fellow, he leads the policy research, coalition building, and public advocacy for policies that strengthen opportunity and upward mobility.

Nic and his wife, Lizzie, live in Eagle Mountain with their two sons.   Introducing Conservative Cagematches Ever since Leo Strauss published his magnum opus Natural Right and History, which ends by heavily implying Edmund Burke opened the door for the evils of historicism in the modern world, a great fissure in conservative nerddom erupted between those who align with either titan.   Were Strauss' criticism of Burke warranted? Did Burke disavow natural rights and pave the way for the evils of authoritarianism, fascism, Marxism, and progressivism to come? Does a careful, esoteric reading of Natural Right and History reveal the Strauss secret family chili recipe?   On Wednesday, March 4 at 6PM EST / 5PM CST, Saving Elephants will assemble an all-star panel to answer these questions and more.   Representing Edmund Burke: Greg Collins of Yale University and Lauren Hall of the Rochester Institute of Technology   Representing Leo Strauss: Steve Hayward of Pepperdine and the international woman of mystery, Lucretia of the University of Arizona   You can watch the livestream on YouTube or Facebook  

Send a textThe Feds HALT Minnesota's medicaid payments until it can get its fraud problem figured out....Check out the American Experiment Podcast!Welcome back! This week on the American Experiment Podcast…  Our hosts dig into why the Trump administration is halting $260 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota. Is it really about stopping fraud, or just “political retribution,” as Gov. Walz claims? Later, they examine another unintended consequence of Minnesota's fraud fallout: a state budget forecast that (at least at first glance) gives us a surplus, not a deficit. Finally, they question the governor's latest “gun control” plan. (Why is it based on yet another tax? And shouldn't we start by actually enforcing the firearm laws we already have?) On the back half, they sit down with Hillsdale College professor David Azerrad for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of modern conservatism, what it means to be a true “American,” and why it's our country's spirit, not its dream, that makes us great.  Remember to LIKE, SHARE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE and never miss an episode of the American Experiment Podcast!

Joanna Coles sits down with Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey for a bracing conversation that moves from Trump's State of the Union theatrics to what she calls a calculated effort to normalize chaos ahead of 2026. Gov. Healey unloads on the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files, slams RFK Jr.'s vaccine rollbacks, and details how she's battling ICE crackdowns, slashed federal funding, and what she warns could be attempts to “federalize” elections and intimidate voters with troops and manufactured fraud claims. As Democrats wrestle with generational change, leadership, and how to win back voters battered by affordability crises, Healey argues the real fight isn't 2028—it's protecting the ballot and delivering tangible results right now.
