Back again! Rep. Nicole Uhre-Balk and Sen. Randy Deibert join Jake and Murdoc for a West River-heavy show, starting with Dan Ahlers’ lieutenant governor pick, Steve McCleerey, and what the Democratic ticket is trying to build heading into November. We get into the fallout from the GOP governor’s race, Deibert’s big question about Toby Doeden’s “Save South Dakota” pitch, the RINO wars inside the Republican Party, and what the next Legislature could look like. Plus, a tribute to longtime Rapid City legislator and community leader Stan Adelstein.
We also hit the Sturgis Rally, Mount Rushmore’s $2.8 million fireworks show and whether the tourism payoff justified the price and wildfire risk. Then it’s Flock cameras, privacy, AI surveillance and Attorney General Marty Jackley’s push for new guardrails. And of course, there’s the strange story of South Dakota lawmakers heading to Washington, Travis Ismay reportedly getting turned away from the White House, Kristi Noem’s new Pierre statue, speculation about a future U.S. Senate run, and the long-awaited return of the Dakota Town Hall burger map.
