Back again! South Dakota’s normally sleepy Secretary of State race just blew wide open. Democratic candidate Terrence Davis joins the show after sitting Secretary of State Monae Johnson’s headline-making endorsement sent shockwaves well beyond the state. Davis gets into the endorsement, his case for the office, the fight over hand-counting ballots, Heather Baxter’s approach to elections, and why the nuts-and-bolts work of the Secretary of State matters far beyond Election Day. Plus, Garrett Van Lear from Formula Hardrocker Racing takes us inside South Dakota Mines’ student-built race car program, carbon-fiber suspension, 70-mph machines, and the road to Michigan International Speedway.
Then Jake and Murdoc hit the week’s political fallout: Rapid City’s growing defense industry and an $18 million investment tied to the region’s aerospace future, Dusty Johnson’s newly blunt criticism of Donald Trump, Kristi Noem’s elk hunt somehow becoming national news, Toby Doeden keeping the Facebook content machine alive, and a possible Trish Ladner appearance after her trip to Taiwan. And of course, Murdoc prepares for the Buffalo Roundup by asking the question that apparently matters most: is there a bar?
