Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on why Republican Michele Tafoya has a real chance in the Minnesota Senate race, why Democrats will likely be disappointed in their efforts to score Senate upsets in deep red states, and Ken Paxton's comments about the GOP midterm convention. Plus, they react to a plot to attack the Texas State Capitol, and they unveil the latest attack ads ahead of Sunday's huge Bears-Jets game.First, they're cautiously hopeful that Michele Tafoya can actually win a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota. Jim explains why Tafoya resonates well in a reliably Democratic state and which issues are hitting home for voters.Next, Jim takes us through the efforts of Democrats to take U.S. Senate seats in traditionally Republican states like Nebraska, South Carolina, and South Dakota, and he tells us why the GOP will most likely win in those places next month. Then, they react to the news of a planned attack on the Texas State Capitol being foiled just a day in advance. They also examine Texas GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton's surprising take on the Republicans' midterm convention.Finally, the latest hard-hitting attack ads ahead of Sunday's Jets vs. Bears showdown.Please visit our great sponsors:Human Coalition It only takes a monthly donation of $26 to create a life-saving moment.

On this week's episode we continue our discussion with former game warden Bill Eastman. Bill continues to share fun, hilarious stories, and they talk about how much the job of game warden changes from state to state, as well as the dangers that a lot of officers face on a daily basis, all to protect and preserve our beloved outdoors.

THE EMN DAILY NEWS | Thursday, 1 October 2026The OverviewFlood watches across Texas and Oklahoma; FY27 starts on a CRFlood watches cover southern Oklahoma and much of north and central Texas today as the remnants of Hurricane Polo move across the region, with flash flood warnings overnight around Wichita Falls and a watch running through Friday evening over the Hill Country counties still in Public Assistance recovery from the July floods. Fiscal year 2027 opens on a continuing resolution that runs through December 11, holding agencies at fiscal 2026 levels and permitting up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 58 incidents and 4,826 personnel, down 574 in a day, with no new large fires. Year-to-date fire counts were adjusted sharply upward to 62,218, moving the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average. Dome in Yosemite National Park reached 39 percent contained as a second California team mobilizes. For great insight from leading emergency managment professionals, visit EM Network on Substack. KEY TAKEAWAYSOklahoma and north Texas: The Norman forecast office holds a flood watch until 1 p.m. today for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, with 2 to 4 inches likely and local amounts to 6 inches. Flash flood warnings ran overnight for Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Iowa Park and Sheppard Air Force Base after 1 to 3 inches fell in short order.Central Texas: The Fort Worth office carries a flood watch through Friday morning across north central Texas, including Dallas, Denton, Collin and McLennan counties, with 2 to 3 inches widespread and localized totals to 5 inches. The Austin and San Antonio office holds a watch until 7 p.m. Friday for Hill Country counties including Kerr, Bandera, Uvalde, Real, Edwards, Gillespie and Kendall, all of which carry open Public Assistance from the July declaration.Fiscal year: Agencies begin fiscal 2027 under the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, signed September 2, which funds the government through December 11 at prior-year levels. The measure permits up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund, with obligations charged against fiscal 2027 appropriations rather than treated as supplemental. Under a continuing resolution, agencies cannot start programs, projects or activities that were not already funded and active, which constrains new grant starts until a full-year bill passes.Get ready, Long Beach!

We'll see you in Long Beach!Wildfire posture: Preparedness Level 2 with 58 incidents, 14 uncontained large fires, 1,641,606 acres and 4,826 personnel, a drop of 574, per the Wednesday situation report. Initial attack was light, with 91 fires and no new large incidents; one large fire was contained, and five complex teams were committed. The Northwest, Northern California and Southern Area each released more than 220 people in a single operational period.Reporting adjustment: Year-to-date fires rose from 57,521 to 62,218 in one reporting cycle, almost entirely in the Southern Area, which moved from 28,661 to 33,302. That shifts the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average for fire counts. The situation report attributes such changes to mapping or reporting adjustments rather than new activity, and a similar acreage swing last week reversed within days.California: Dome in Yosemite National Park grew 151 acres to 5,410 and jumped to 39 percent contained, up from 31, with 932 personnel and California Team 4 mobilizing. Costs stand at $24 million. Plaskett on the Los Padres National Forest is fully contained, and Timber holds at 88 percent with numerous structures still threatened.Northwest: Eight uncontained large fires and 2,186 personnel, down 239. Command on Little Giant transfers from Northwest Team 13 to Northwest Team 12 today, with the fire at 93 percent contained and structures still threatened. Sisi near Stehekin nearly doubled containment to 29 percent, with residences threatened.Recovery calendar: SBA physical damage deadlines for the September 1 public assistance declarations close November 1 in Colorado and South Dakota and November 2 in Missouri and Texas, with economic injury applications open to June 1, 2027. Texas recently added Grimes, Live Oak, McMullen and Schleicher counties for Public Assistance, and its Individual Assistance request covering 30 counties remains pending.Fire weather: Breezy northerly winds in the Sacramento Valley and southern California ease this morning, but relative humidity of 10 to 15 percent persists with above-normal temperatures. In the southern Plains, breezy south winds of 10 to 18 miles per hour and minimum humidity of 25 to 35 percent create locally elevated conditions.SOURCESTexas and Oklahoma floodingNWS Norman: Flood Watch for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:41 a.m. CDT until 1 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/oklahoma-texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-2341NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for Wichita County, Texas, issued Oct 1 at 2:57 a.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flash-flood-warning-effective-10012026-0057NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for southeastern Archer and southern Clay counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:45 a.m. CDThttps://www.defconlevel.com/alert/2026-10-01-nws-noaa-weather-flash-flood-warning-issued-october-1-at-1-45am-cdt-until-october-1-at-4-45am-cdt-by-nws-norman-okNWS Fort Worth: Flood Watch through Friday morning for north central Texas, issued Sept 30 at 2:26 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1226NWS Austin/San Antonio: Flood Watch until 7 p.m. Oct 2 for Hill Country counties, issued Sept 30 at 9:52 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1952Federal fundingWhite House: H.R. 6500, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, signed Sept 2, funding agencies through Dec 11https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/09/congressional-bill-h-r-6500-signed-into-law/Congressional Research Service summary via Legis1: $26.37 billion permitted for the Disaster Relief Fund under the continuing resolutionhttps://legis1.com/news/fy2027-continuing-resolution-funds-agenciesOffice of the Texas Governor: four additional counties approved for Public Assistance, Individual Assistance request pendinghttps://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-approval-of-federal-disaster-assistance-for-four-additional-counties-following-summer-storms-and-floodingWildfire, nationalNICC Incident Management Situation Report and Predictive Services discussion: Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026, 0730 MDT (live PDF, overwritten daily).

For years, many residents in Dakota Territory wanted to split it into two halves, but it wasn't until the Enabling Act, passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Grover Cleveland in February of 1889, that Dakota Territory was allowed to split into the separate states of North and South Dakota.

FCS national analyst Sam Herder joined Colter Nuanez for an in-depth conversation about some of the storylines coming out of the Missouri Valley, including South Dakota State winning without QB Chase Mason and Youngstown State "upsetting" South Dakota. Sam & Colter also talk about Montana's statement-making 62-22 win over No. 10 UC Davis and Montana State earning a 28-14 win over Northern Arizona despite a glut of injuries to key All-American players.

In the Top of the News Stack, a passenger on board a flight took it upon himself to stop a hi-jacking of the flight after a co-pilot attacked the pilot and sent the plane into a nose dive, the first woman in more than 200 years was set to be put to death last night, however after two injections she still had a heartbeat, and finally the grassroots coalition leading the Yes effort on South Dakota's proposed Constitutional Amendment L sent cease and desist letters to South Dakota media organizations and much more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Proposed Amendment L protects the South Dakota Constitution and South Dakota citizens by requiring a 60% vote to change the Constitution. All other measures remain unchanged. Amendment L was placed on the ballot by the South Dakota Legislature during the 2025 session as House Joint Resolution 5003. The measure passed the Senate with 29 yes votes and 4 no votes; it passed the House with 61 yes votes and 5 no votes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul Rieckhoff joins the MSNBC table with Nikki McCann Ramirez of Rolling Stone and former Harris senior advisor Mike Nellis to break down the political sucking chest wound of Trump's Iran war — and how it is bleeding into every corner of the 2026 midterms. From Texas, where Republicans are burning nine figures to defend a state that was never supposed to be competitive, to Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, and Alaska, where independent veterans are running as kryptonite to GOP incumbents, this is the clearest read yet on why Trump is now more unpopular with true independents than Nixon at the height of Watergate. Then MSNBC Pentagon reporter Priya Sridher joins with exclusive reporting on the USS Lincoln, the carrier that just broke a modern deployment record, at least eight suicide attempts in the strike group, and a 19-year-old sailor charged with malingering after jumping overboard. Paul connects the dots: an abused force, an unauthorized war, a Pentagon purging 20% of its generals and admirals, and a political class — in both parties — that still hasn't figured out how to stop any of it.

FEMA has issued a formal definition of emergency management, calling it the strategic coordination of emergency services to protect life, property, and continuity of operations, and paired it with 12 coordination responsibilities that every FEMA component must now align its doctrine, training and publications to. Three Federal Register notices published yesterday reset the annual assistance numbers: Individuals and Households Program maximums rise to $44,800 each for housing and other needs, Serious Needs Assistance goes to $790, and the Public Assistance simplified procedures threshold moves to $1,093,800. Texas added four more counties for Public Assistance, while its Individual Assistance request for 30 counties remains pending. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 62 incidents and 5,400 personnel, down 297, and three new large fires in the Southern Area.

Ahlers, Rhoden debate South Dakota issues 5 weeks out from election.

“Something You Should Know” is brought to you by www.BetterEnergyDrink.com We share fun things that are happening in the area and from time to time invite guests in to talk about their events!

Join us for Episode 4254 of Day1, as Rev. Susan Sparks, Senior Minister of Madison Avenue Baptist Church in New York City, brings her sermon "Riding Into the Storm" from St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, drawn from Psalm 46:1-11. On this nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Sparks turns a South Dakota motorcycle ride through a violent storm into a meditation on stillness, refuge, and courage, reminding us that God's presence, not the absence of storms, is the promise we are given.

A new feature-length documentary about the Conns showcases how an adventurous couple found freedom on the spires and in the caves of South Dakota.

SDPB in partnership with South Dakota News Watch hosted a debate between the two candidates running for South Dakota governor. Incumbent Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden is facing Democrat Dan Ahlers.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Creates the U.S. ArmyOn September 29, 1789—the very last day of the First Congress's inaugural session—the House and Senate passed the act that formally established the United States Army under the new Constitution. President Washington had pressed hard for it, reminding Congress that the militia provisions inherited from the Articles of Confederation were inadequate and that the nation needed a standing military establishment placed on a proper constitutional footing.The legal significance lies less in the creation of a fighting force than in how that force was subordinated. The Constitution had already divided military power deliberately: Congress alone can raise and fund armies and declare war, while the President serves as Commander-in-Chief. The 1789 Act operationalized that division, embedding the bedrock American principle of civilian control of the military—that the armed forces answer to elected civilian authority and operate within, not above, the rule of law. The Framers were deeply wary of standing armies and concentrated power; their answer was not to forbid a military, but to fracture control over it between the branches so no single actor could wield it unchecked.The significance of September 29, 1789 is that principle—power channeled through congressional authorization and constitutional limits rather than executive will alone. And that is precisely the thread running through our lead story today: a dispute over whether the executive branch can wield federal money as a lever to force its policy preferences on the states, or whether it may only do what Congress has actually authorized. The names change over 237 years; the fundamental question—who gets to exercise power, and with whose permission—does not.A federal judge has blocked the administration from tying federal counterterrorism grants to whether states adopt its preferred election-administration changes—the latest in a long string of election-related defeats we've tracked this month. Here's what the administration did: the Department of Homeland Security announced it would withhold 20% of funding under grant programs meant to help state and local governments prepare for terrorist attacks and other threats, unless those governments adopted election measures the administration favored. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, in a 24-page opinion, sided with counties and cities in Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee that sued, holding that federal agencies simply lacked authority from Congress to attach those conditions to the grants. Let me put this in its constitutional frame, because it's a classic. The federal government routinely attaches strings to the money it gives states—that's the spending power, and it's legitimate within limits. But the Supreme Court set boundaries in cases like South Dakota v. Dole and, more forcefully, in the NFIB v. Sebelius healthcare decision: conditions must be clearly stated, must relate to the purpose of the funding, and can't be so coercive that they amount to a “gun to the head.” Conditioning anti-terrorism preparedness money on unrelated election changes runs into two of those problems at once—the germaneness requirement, since election administration has nothing to do with counterterrorism, and the basic separation-of-powers point that an agency can't invent conditions Congress never authorized. That last point is what Judge Ali hung his ruling on, and it's the same principle that decided the homelessness and mail-ballot cases: agencies have only the power Congress gives them. The significance is that this is now a consistent, rulings-deep pattern—court after court telling the executive it cannot use funding leverage, or agency fiat, to seize control over how states run their elections. On the anniversary of a law about channeling power through congressional authorization, it's a fitting rebuke.Judge blocks Trump from tying anti-terrorism grants to election changes | Reuters · PBS News · US NewsIn a notable reversal, Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a major climate-change case the Supreme Court is set to hear next week—and the move opens up real questions about both judicial ethics and the case's outcome. The case involves Boulder, Colorado, and its county, which sued Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy seeking damages for the local harms of climate change; it's set for argument October 5. Environmental groups had pushed for Alito to step aside because he owns stock in oil-and-gas companies—ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66, among others—that, while not parties to this particular suit, plainly have interests riding on how the Court treats climate liability. Here's why the reversal is striking. Back in May, a Court spokeswoman said Alito would not recuse, on the theory that he had no financial interest in any actual party to the case. Now he's stepping aside anyway. This goes to the heart of the judicial-ethics debate that has dogged the Court: federal law, 28 U.S.C. § 455, requires a judge to disqualify when their impartiality might reasonably be questioned or when they have a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy—and Supreme Court justices, unlike lower-court judges, have historically decided their own recusal questions with no review and little explanation. Alito's flip suggests the pressure and scrutiny over the Court's ethics, which produced its first-ever formal code of conduct in 2023, is having an effect. And there's a concrete consequence: with only eight justices participating, the case could end in a 4-4 tie—which would leave the lower-court ruling in place without setting any national precedent. The significance is that it's a small but real sign of the Court responding to ethics scrutiny, and a reminder that in the climate-liability wars, procedural moves like a single recusal can matter as much as the merits.US Supreme Court's Alito won't participate in climate case involving oil companies | Reuters · CNBC · NBC NewsAnd finally, Florida has asked a court to bar OpenAI from developing new AI models without outside oversight—an extraordinary requested remedy that, if granted, would be one of the most aggressive judicial interventions into AI development we've seen. This is part of a lawsuit Florida's attorney general, James Uthmeier, filed in June, accusing OpenAI of misrepresenting ChatGPT's safety and of harming children—the complaint alleges the platform provided information to school shooters, offered guidance on self-harm, and was designed to addict young users. In Monday's filing, Florida escalated the requested relief dramatically: it asked the court to prohibit OpenAI from developing new models without external oversight, to order the company to keep minors off ChatGPT entirely, and to bar it from giving the chatbot “human attributes.” Let me unpack why that's such a big ask. Courts issue injunctions all the time, but a prohibitory injunction against building new products—essentially putting a court-supervised brake on a technology company's core R&D—is a remarkable expansion of the injunctive remedies we've discussed in the teen-harms cases. It raises hard questions about how far a court's equitable power can reach into ongoing innovation, and whether such sweeping prior restraint on development is even administrable. Notably, OpenAI says it has already paused training its most capable models and won't resume until additional safeguards are in place—which both undercuts the urgency Florida claims and signals the company sees the writing on the wall. Florida is the first state AG to sue OpenAI over harms to young users, though the company faces individual and family suits too, including ones tied to self-harm. And this connects to a huge thread we've followed all month—the Harvey guardrails acquisition, the ChatGPT-fabricated testimony, California's Adam's Law. The significance is that the legal system is now being asked not just to punish AI harms after the fact, but to preemptively supervise how these models get built—a genuine frontier for the law, and one courts will approach with real caution.Florida asks court to bar OpenAI from developing new models as part of child harm lawsuit | Reuters · US News · Lawyer Monthly This is a public episode.

The cheapest fix for AI's power problem is America's power grid. That is, the one that already exists. A Brattle study puts the savings from running it ten percent harder at more than $100 billion. The fixes chasing that number run from dynamic line ratings to a five gigawatt-hour heat battery in South Dakota. Jackie Snow and six grid experts explain what keeps us from tapping into these solutions.

Ready to retire early? Start here ⬇️→ https://learn.rootfinancial.com/64e423The tax difference between retiring in California and retiring in a state with no income tax can add up to a significant amount over a long retirement. For some people, that gap is large enough to change when they can stop working. For others, it is real money that still does not outweigh what they would be giving up.In this video, Ari walks through five tax-friendly states worth knowing about, alongside the research that complicates the straightforward case for moving. A study he references found that more than half of retirees who relocate primarily for financial reasons end up moving back to their original state within five years. The three most common reasons: costs they did not anticipate, difficulty rebuilding community and social connection, and a gap between what they imagined life would look like and what it actually felt like.The five states he covers are Florida, Tennessee, Wyoming, Nevada, and South Dakota, each with no state income tax and meaningfully lower tax burdens overall. He also points out a few surprises: Pennsylvania does not tax retirement account distributions at all, which often goes unmentioned, while North Carolina does tax them, which catches people off guard. Florida, despite having no income tax, carries higher homeowner's insurance and property taxes than most people factor in when comparing states on paper.There is also the less obvious cost of moving away from family. Travel back and forth, however often that ends up being, is a real line item that most retirement relocation analyses do not include.Ari's position throughout is the same one he brought to the Florida versus New York comparison: start with where you actually want to live. The tax savings are worth understanding clearly, but they should inform the decision rather than make it.--Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

How one independent could  change everything in the senate. And the 45% of Americans nobody's talking about.  Media Blitz Pod Iran's president is on U.S. soil, giving a UN speech and taking shots at America — while Iran is actively trying to kill Americans in the region. Xi Jinping is inbound to Washington for meetings with President Trump. And at the same UN, the CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic are warning the world that AI is racing ahead without guardrails. Paul Rieckhoff joins the show for his weekly hit and refuses to let any of it slide past as normal. Is there any precedent for allowing the leader of a country at war with us to hotel up in Midtown? What actually comes out of a Trump–Xi sit-down when the last three years of "deals" with Putin produced nothing? And why is the industry itself begging Washington for regulation the White House won't give? From there, Paul pivots to the underreported 2026 story: independent veterans running real Senate campaigns in Colorado, Nebraska, Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota. Angus King is the only true independent in the Senate today, and he still caucuses with Democrats. If even one of these new veteran independents wins — refusing to caucus with either party — they instantly become the most powerful member of the chamber. This is the rigged two-party system's worst nightmare, and it's coming into view faster than the pundits admit. Rigorous, urgent, and grounded in the ground-truth perspective this show is built on. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has acknowledged that he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet on two occasions during the 1990s. One flight was a family trip to visit his mother in Palm Beach, and the other was to South Dakota for a fossil-hunting excursion with his wife and children. Kennedy has stated that these trips took place before Epstein's crimes were publicly known and emphasized that he was never alone with Epstein. He characterized the flights as benign and unrelated to the network of abuse and trafficking that would later be exposed.Despite his explanation, the revelation has drawn public scrutiny, especially given the broader pattern of influential figures maintaining social ties with Epstein. Kennedy's presence on Epstein's plane, even in the early years, adds to the perception of how deeply embedded Epstein became in political, financial, and social circles. While Kennedy insists he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal behavior, his name now appears among a long list of prominent individuals linked to Epstein's travel and hospitality—connections that continue to raise questions about proximity, privilege, and selective awareness.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:RFK Jr. admits he flew on Jeffrey Epstein's jet twice (nypost.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It's the Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff “Tigger” Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and our crew as we hear how Beefmaster cattle are fixing the problems for one South Dakota cow calf producer. Plus, news from beef country you need to hear, feeder cattle sale reports and upcoming sales you don't want to miss, all wrapped in this new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Beefmaster Cattle Work For South Dakota Rancher South Dakota ranchers Dan & Jessie Hotchkiss were disappointed in weaning weights and calf health in the fall.  After trying several different breeds of bulls on their Angus base cowherd, they decided to try Beefmaster bulls from ISA Beefmasters and have never looked back. Beefmaster is a breed that was developed in the 1930's by Tom Lasater in South Texas to maximize economic traits like hardiness, fertility, adaptability, and weight.  The breed consists of approximately 50% Brahman, 25% Hereford and 25% Shorthorn.   Beef Cattle News Beef Imports: Facts Behind the 300,000-Metric-Ton Plan Recent plans to allow up to 300,000 metric tons, or 661 million pounds, of additional beef imports into the U.S. tariff-free have created plenty of attention—and misinformation. According to Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist, the U.S. has imported beef for decades, mainly to supply lean beef used in ground beef products. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Mexico have been major suppliers, while Brazil has recently grown into the number-two source. Beef imports are up 12.9 percent so far in 2026, as domestic beef production continues to decline. About 68 percent of imported beef is lean trimmings used as ingredients in ground beef, especially for fast-food restaurants. Imported beef now makes up an estimated 39 percent of the beef used in ground beef production. Brazil is expected to benefit the most from the tariff changes. However, experts say the U.S. is unlikely to import the full additional 300,000 metric tons. The policy may shift where imports come from, with South American countries gaining market share. But the increase in total imports is expected to be smaller than the announced amount. And when it comes to grocery store ground beef prices, the impact is expected to be limited. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/peel-understanding-beef-imports/  Cattle Prices Rise, But Packer Margins Keep Growing Cattle prices moved higher last week, but beef packer profits continued to rise. According to Sterling Marketing's Beef Profit Tracker, the average packer margin for the week ending September 12 was $177.16 per head. That's up from $170.76 the previous week. Steady beef cutout values and a $2-per-head increase in drop credit helped support packer margins. Slaughter was down 21,000 head, mainly because of the Labor Day holiday. The average five-area direct fed steer price rose to $222.82 per hundredweight, up from $219.04 the week before. That helped reduce feedlot losses. Feedlots lost an estimated $307.19 per head, compared with nearly $329 the previous week. Feeder cattle prices also moved higher, gaining nearly $7 per hundredweight the week ending September 11th. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/beef-packer-margins-gain-despite-bump-in-cattle-price/ Tyson Reshapes Beef Business as Cattle Supplies Remain Tight Tyson Foods says its smaller beef processing network will help the company manage tight cattle supplies and prepare for the future. Chief Financial Officer Curt Calaway recently said cattle herd rebuilding is happening, but more slowly than in some previous cycles. Tyson has closed or put plants up for sale this year in Illinois, Nebraska, and Washington state. The company is now focused on three major beef plants: Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas. Tyson also hopes to restore a second processing shift as Mexican cattle gradually move through stocker operations and feedlots. Calaway says the company is focused on improving plant efficiency, managing product sales, and meeting consumer demand for seasoned, marinated, and case-ready beef products. He added that more cattle and continued reopening of the Mexican border could help Tyson in the future.

Interview with enCore Energy Executive Chair William Sheriff Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/encore-energy-nasdaqeu-founder-transition-isr-growth-verdera-upside-9413Recording date: 25th September 2026enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:EU, TSXV:EU) is a US in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium producer with two operating central processing plants in South Texas: Alta Mesa, a 70/30 joint venture with Boss Energy, and Rosita. It also has development projects in South Dakota and Wyoming. In an interview with Crux Investor, founder and Executive Chair William Sheriff set out where the company stands after a difficult 2026 and what investors should watch next.The central issue is permitting. Two new sources of feed are built and ready: Wellfield 3 Extension at Alta Mesa, and the Upper Spring Creek satellite ion exchange plant and wellfield that feed Rosita. A third, Wellfield 8 at Alta Mesa, was days from completion. Final permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are guided for Q4 2026 for the first two and by the end of Q1 2027 for Wellfield 8. Sheriff blames the delay on an impasse between previous management and the regulator, which he describes as self-induced. New Chief Executive Richard Little has since rebuilt the relationship, and Sheriff says any surprise on timing is more likely to be positive. The company intends to announce when the first permit clears public comment without opposition.Until then, extraction will be minimal. Wellfield 7 reached the end of its economic life in Q3, leaving a gap of three to four months. First-half 2026 figures already showed the slowdown, with 131,274 pounds of U3O8 extracted against 317,613 pounds a year earlier. The company met contract deliveries of 485,000 pounds partly with 360,000 purchased pounds. That lifted the weighted average cost of delivered uranium to $75.54 per pound, against an average sales price of $70.10.Management has responded with cost discipline. Little has more than 30 years in production-focused roles, and Sheriff says he agreed to join only if Sheriff returned. Staff numbers were cut by around 24% after an early-year hiring surge. Because drilling had run well ahead of permitting, Sheriff says the rig count was cut from 32 to 10. Total liquidity was $88.4 million at June 30, or $73.5 million excluding Verdera shares. The company has not drawn on its US$250 million ATM facility, and Sheriff says he has no interest in doing so.The share price was hit in September by heavy ETF-related selling, which briefly pushed the stock below US$0.70 on record volume. Sheriff and his wife bought about $250,000 of shares. The price recovered to the $1.20 to $1.25 range within two trading sessions of the September 18 low.Longer-term growth centres on Dewey Burdock in South Dakota. The project obtained all federal permits in under a year through the FAST-41 programme and entered state permitting in June 2026. Its preliminary economic assessment outlines 750,000 pounds a year, total life-of-mine capital of $264.2 million and a 39% pre-tax IRR at $86.34 per pound.Shareholders are also due to receive about 0.18 of a Verdera Energy share per enCore share on September 30. enCore received the Verdera shares when it sold its New Mexico assets to the company in 2025. The distribution gives holders exposure to about 88 million pounds across six New Mexico properties, a mix of current NI 43-101 resources and historical estimates. enCore keeps about 13.5% of Verdera.Sheriff continues to argue for consolidation among US ISR producers, now through agreed deals rather than tender offers. For investors, the near-term test is simple: whether permits arrive on schedule and turn built infrastructure into steady production.

Tropical storm conditions begin late Friday in the warning area, with hurricane conditions possible early Saturday.Hawaii operations: Hawaii County is opening five additional shelters this morning. Governor Josh Green closed state and county offices, Department of Education schools and University of Hawaii campuses on Hawaii Island Thursday and Friday.

Timber on the Los Padres National Forest gained 241 personnel to 920 with moderate fire behavior and uphill runs, and numerous structures and communication infrastructure remain threatened.

Social Security is a government program that touches all of our lives. Every American who earns a wage or a salary pays into it, and come retirement age, or if we find ourselves disabled, it serves as a vital lifeline to help make ends meet. But the program is facing headwinds. John Hishta, a senior vice president with AARP, said on this episode of Plain Talk that the program isn't going broke, but it does need serious reforms by 2032 if we don't want to see serious reductions in the benefits it pays out. "It's important to understand that there is a deadline coming in 2032, which means that if Congress and the president don't take action, current beneficiaries will only receive 80% of their promised benefits or payments at that point in the game," he said. "Say you get $2,000 a month from Social Security, and that is the majority of your income," he continued. "If Congress doesn't do anything, you're going to lose $400 a month right off the top by 2032." Hishta said raising the cap on taxing earnings could push that deadline back by as much as 50 years. He also said that Congress could explore other things, such as subjecting investment income to the Social Security tax. One thing his organization doesn't want to see is a decision to raise the age at which Americans qualify for benefits. "Right now full retirement is 67," Hishta said. "There are a lot of folks who can't wait until 70 years old to retire. They may be construction workers, electricians. Folks who work doing hard labor, and they need that money, and  they have to retire for their own safety when they're 66 or 67 years old." He also said that Social Security was never intended to be a primary retirement plan for Americans, yet millions are on a financial trajectory for that to be the case. "I don't know if you guys know this or not, but 40% to 45% of the people in this country have no access to an employer-based 401(k) program," Hishta said. "None. Zilch. Nada. So there needs to be a broader conversation as well about how do you create retirement programs above and beyond Social Security to help folks out." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I talk about how planning for retirement has changed in the gig economy, a Republican incumbent endorsing the Democratic candidate to replace her in South Dakota, and Sen. John Hoeven's cameo in the fiasco around Sen. Mitch McConnell. If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

Social Security is a government program that touches all of our lives.

Today, we're speaking with Ryan Dixon. Ryan is an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Tribe from Pine Ridge in South Dakota and has spent over two decades immersed in the Lower Sioux community in southern Minnesota. He trained under First Language Dakota speakers, and he now teaches Dakota. An educator and Indigenous language activist, he co-founded a Dakota Immersion Head Start programming and works to keep the language alive for future generations. Ryan grew up in Georgia, far away from the Lakota homelands, but he had access to a first language speaker in his grandmother. When he moved to the Lower Sioux community in Southern Minnesota, he was recognized as someone who knew a little language. That led to people asking him to translate and, later, to an unbelievable apprenticeship that paid him to learn and teach Dakota. He didn't speak fluently until he was 31 and believes anyone can gain fluency in two years. But he says there's one key ingredient that can't be missing if a language learner wants to succeed. He also shares how he connects to the spirit of the Dakota language and what it means to become its friend.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood -----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradio/instagram.com/mnnativenews/ Never miss a beat.

Forecast rainfall is 15 to 20 inches on Hawaii Island, with isolated totals to 35 inches, on ground already damaged by Hurricane Lala in August. A strengthening nor'easter is driving coastal flooding and gale-force marine winds from North Carolina to southern New England, with a wind advisory posted for the Atlantic coasts of New Jersey and Delaware through Friday evening. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency Tuesday for 19 counties hit by flooding. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 87 incidents and 8,523 personnel, down 1,178 in a day.

The Central Pacific Hurricane Center forecasts hurricane strength by Thursday night and possibly a major hurricane by the weekend, with the closest approach to the Big Island Friday into Saturday. A hurricane watch means hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours.Hawaii impacts: The state emergency management agency forecasts widespread totals of 15 to 20 inches on Hawaii Island, with isolated totals of 35 inches in the southeast; catastrophic flooding is possible Friday and Saturday, with life-threatening landslides in steep terrain.

Conservatives are constantly told the same thing: Stay on the GOP hamster wheel, vote Republican, and whatever you do, don't challenge the system — because otherwise the Democrats will win. But what if that entire argument is a false construct? I explain in great detail how we are NOT trapped in a permanent two-party choice and why the movement already has tools capable of forcing real change — including political conventions, alternative ballot lines, and strategically supporting candidates outside the traditional Republican machinery. And this isn't just theoretical. South Dakota provides a real-world example of how conventions can defeat establishment incumbents that survive Republican primaries. I also revisit the 2009 New York special election involving Doug Hoffman to show how conservative media and political organizations once had the willingness to rally behind a candidate outside the establishment Republican structure. The question isn't whether conservatives have options; it's whether we have leaders. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On August 25, 1938, twenty-five-year-old Ben Dickson and his fifteen-year-old wife Stella Mae robbed the Corn Exchange Bank in Elkton, South Dakota, making off with $2,187.64. Two months later they hit a bank in nearby Brookings for $17,593 - after waiting two hours for the vault's time-lock to open while the bank's manager went on processing loans for customers. Unfortunately for these two small-time outlaws, the FBI was in short supply of public enemies at the time, and a newly minted Bonnie and Clyde was exactly what J. Edgar Hoover needed to stoke the agency's public relations machine. My guest is Matt Cecil, author of The Ballad of Ben and Stella Mae: Great Plains Outlaws Who Became FBI Public Enemies Nos. 1 and 2. He has been fascinated with the story of Ben and Stella Mae since he was a teenager, and shares his research with us on this latest episode of Most Notorious.

Zelensky brings light to NYC. TrumpTV is Here! Independents vs GOP Dark Money. Giants Crash out in LA vs the Rams. We All Bond in the Suck.  Hurricane season is here, and the biggest storm making landfall this week is Hurricane Trump. Paul Rieckhoff opens episode 630 from New York City as the UN General Assembly turns into a global stage for threats, propaganda, and pressure campaigns. From the UNGA lectern, Trump floated annihilating the Islamic Republic, telegraphed Cuba as the next target, mocked the very concept of artificial intelligence, and kept pushing the rigged two-party system further into authoritarian territory. Then he banned CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House and rolled out Trump TV "a predictable next step in the MAGA machine's propaganda buildout. Paul connects the dots the corporate press won't: why Mamdani cozying up to Trump lacks integrity, why Kamala parachuting into Michigan for Abdul El-Sayed is a losing play, and why the four independent veterans running in Idaho, South Dakota, Montana, and Nebraska are about to get buried in dark money if we don't have their backs. He also honors President Zelensky's return to the 9/11 Memorial, remembers Wells Crowther, and closes with the reminder that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom "even when your quarterback goes down, even when the storms come, even when everything goes sideways. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

This episode first aired on August 8, 2022. On March 26, 2020, 45-year-old Eugene Prins planned a short road trip with a friend to drop off a wood splitter. They started out in Woonsocket, South Dakota, and drove about 25 miles east to the tiny town of Fedora. Afterward, Eugene and his friend stopped at a bar in Forestburg, along their route home. The two were captured on surveillance footage leaving the bar at 7:38 PM. Eugene had been drinking, but witnesses said he didn't appear to be visibly intoxicated. He had also mentioned that he wanted to get home because he had work the following morning.According to Eugene's friend, they made one final detour to a mutual friend's farm. Eugene stayed in the truck while his friend went inside. When he returned approximately 20 minutes later, Eugene was gone.Despite extensive searches of the surrounding farmland, Eugene remained missing for more than two years. His family struggled to understand why he would have walked away on a cold March night, leaving behind his job, his loved ones, and his beloved dog, Shadow. As the years passed without answers, they began to question whether there was more to his disappearance.Just weeks after we shared Eugene's story, a farmer made a discovery that would finally bring his family some answers. Stay tuned to the end of this episode for an update on Eugene's case.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
