Hippos, Hot Dogs and the Runoff

Back again! Governor Larry Rhoden and Lieutenant Governor Tony Venhuizen join the show as South Dakota’s never-ending gubernatorial runoff enters the final stretch. We get into the sharper contrast with Toby Doeden, Paul TenHaken’s endorsement, property tax relief, the next legislative session and what Venhuizen’s prison rehabilitation task force is finding. Plus, President Trump’s Mount Rushmore visit, a very South Dakota dinner at the Governor’s Mansion and the campaign issue nobody saw coming: importing Pablo Escobar’s hippos to the Black Hills.

We also hit the fallout from the Republican State Convention, Lance Russell’s attorney general win, Heather Baxter’s secretary of state nomination and the latest legal trouble surrounding Tom Pischke. And of course, Fourth of July Americana, bratwurst politics, Ranchers for Venhuizen, James Bond delays and one final pitch to make South Dakota the hippo tourism capital of America.
