Broadcasting live from the O'Leary Ventures boardroom at The Hive in Grand Forks, Scott Hennen hosts a wide-ranging Town Hall. U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer joins the program from Washington D.C. to pull back the curtain on the "negotiation fest" surrounding the government shutdown and why Democrats may have trapped themselves by targeting DHS funding. The dialogue shifts to a fiery but civil debate with North Dakota State Senator Tim Mathern regarding federal overreach and the "Minnesota Contagion." Later, we explore the cutting edge of history and technology with an update on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library's realistic AI hologram and a sit-down with military vet turned tech entrepreneur JC Van Leer on the future of "one-way" drone defense. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:02:03] The DHS "Horrible Box" Senator Kevin Cramer explains why Democrats' decision to target ICE and DHS funding in the appropriations battle is a "special kind of stupid," as a shutdown would primarily impact Democratic priorities like FEMA and TSA.

USA Hockey's U18 National Team Development Program Head Coach Nick Fohr joins Zack Nowak for an in-depth conversation on player development, coaching adaptability, and what it truly takes to prepare young athletes for the highest levels of hockey.Fohr reflects on his own upbringing in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where outdoor rinks, unstructured play, and competing with older players shaped his hockey IQ and love for the game. He connects those early experiences to how the NTDP intentionally challenges players today by placing them in demanding environments that force adaptation, creativity, and growth .Now leading the U18 NTDP group, Fohr breaks down how the program balances high-volume practice, elite competition, and a long-term development mindset. He explains why practice density matters, how small-area games drive competitiveness, and how drills can be designed to “teach the concept” without over-coaching. Throughout the episode, Fohr emphasizes that development, not short-term winning, is the true priority at the national level .Listeners will also hear:Why practice-to-game ratios matter in elite developmentHow competitiveness is intentionally built through environment designWhy players must learn to adapt when they no longer have a size or skill advantageHow coaches individualize development without treating players “equally”Why loving the game and maintaining balance off the ice are critical to long-term success

The Red River of the North starts at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers and forms most of the border between Minnesota and North Dakota. It then crosses into Manitoba and empties into Lake Winnipeg before its waters finally flow into the sea at Hudson Bay. Cities have grown up along its banks including Fargo, Grand Forks and Winnipeg and their residents are all too aware of one unfortunate feature of the river. Unlike most large U.S. rivers, it flows from south to north.

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! Just how big of a win was South Dakota State's 34-31 thriller at North Dakota? Ask the reporter who has been on the Jackrabbit beat for 10 years and gets far more access than most college football beat reporters, and he'll tell you it changed the tenor of the entire 2025 season. Ask him if it may have changed the tenor of where the program is headed after the first full season of a new head coach and entirely new staff, and, well, you'll want to hear the answer. Sioux Falls Live's Matt Zimmer was in Grand Forks and gives you even more insight into the relevance of the victory than he does in his articles. It can't be underestimated. But, how much does it evaporate all the issues that led to SDSU losing four games in a row, particularly the embarrassment against Indiana State and the swift, early 35-0 tailspin against Illinois State? How did that latter loss actually fuel Saturday's win? Can we now definitively say the Jacks can beat New Hampshire or even No. 3 Montana — which awaits the winner — without Chase Mason? We might not ever know the answer to that question, because head coach Dan Jackson on Monday told Happy Host John Gaskins he is "confident" in Mason being able to play in Saturday's home playoff game. So how does this change things for SDSU's postseason, if Mason indeed plays?  And, what do we make of others who cover the FCS accusing Jackson — we're paraphrasing here — of trying to use Jedi mind tricks and keep opponents guessing if Mason will play or not each of the last few weeks? On his daily "Hot Mic" show in Fargo, WDAY-TV's Voice of the Bison Dom Izzo said this on Monday: "The Chase Mason thing is beyond infuriating. And, I said it after the Bison game. FCS writer/analyst) Craig Haley and got ripped for it — and Craig was dead-on about it — it's just completely unnecessary. They warmed up Chase Mason again just for this illusion for the (FCS Playoffs) Committee that, 'Hey, he might be coming back.' He's not! "Jack Henry played and won the game. I think it was out there, like, 'Hey, if we lose, we might get our quarterback back. It's just so stupid unnecessary." You'll want to hear what Zimmer, who regularly goes to practice and was on the field observing Saturday's warmup, has to say about that assertion. SDSU also scored what appears to be a major recruiting victory on Friday night when Sioux Falls Lincoln quarterback Brody Schafer announced on social media his commitment to SDSU. Schafer is on pace to easily break older brother Tate Schafer's career passing and total yards and touchdowns in Class 11AAA, the state's highest level of high school football. Sanford Sports Academy's football director and veteran high school football analyst Kurtiss Riggs has called Schafer the best high school football quarterback talent to come from South Dakota. Riggs also feels like USD missed a golden opportunity to offer Schafer a scholarship before SDSU. Does Zimmer agree? Also in this episode, our latest conversation about a watered-down FCS playoff field thanks to the numerous departures from the subdivision to FBS the last several years. Does it make watching these playoffs so uninteresting that Zimmer pines for the Jacks to move up to the FBS the way many Bison fans and media do?

On October 27, 2007, Joel Lovelien stepped outside the Broken Drum Bar in Grand Forks, North Dakota, during a night filled with costumes, celebration, and heavy drinking. Moments later, he was found in the parking lot, gravely injured. Despite a rapid emergency response, Joel did not survive. For this Halloween throwback, Dakota Spotlight revisits the first episode of Unresolved: The Murder of Joel Lovelien — a true story that began with a party bus, a crowd in costume, and a tragedy that left behind more questions than answers. Through interviews, trial evidence, and police reports, journalist James Wolner reexamines one of North Dakota's most haunting unsolved cases — and the night that changed a community forever.
