A Montana oncologist allegedly treated patients for cancer they never had and made millions doing it. We're re-releasing our two-part investigation into Dr. Thomas Weiner, plus a brand new interview with whistleblower Dr. Randy Sasich on what's happened since. The medical board finally revoked Weiner's license, but criminal charges still loom, a wrongful death lawsuit is underway, and the broken system that enabled this hasn't changed.

Gun Fights Step right up for "Gun Fights," the high-octane segment hosted by Nick Lynch, where our cast members go head-to-head in a game show-style showdown! Each contestant tries to prove their gun knowledge dominance. It's a wild ride of bids, bluffs, and banter—who will come out on top? Tune in to find out! WLS is Lifestyle Pew Report Refresh! Pew Report Relaunch Resolutions Agency Brief "James Madison calculated that 500,000 armed rednecks could crush a federal army of 30,000. It's 2025, and the ATF is still trying to fudge those numbers. Spoiler alert: They can't." THE SETUP: The Panic of 1788 The Constitution is on the ropes. New York and Virginia are threatening to vote "No." The Fear: Anti-Federalists (Patrick Henry, George Mason) scream that a new "Standing Army" will crush the states and enslave the people. The Stakes: If Madison can't convince them the people are safe, the United States ends before it starts. THE ARGUMENT: Madison's Math of Tyranny Madison drops Federalist No. 46 on January 29, 1788. The Calculation: He estimates a federal army can max out at 25,000–30,000 men. The Counter-Force: He pits them against 500,000 "citizens with arms in their hands." The Reality: He argues a federal coup would be suicide. Not because the government is nice, but because the people will shoot them. The Distinction: He explicitly separates the "Federal Government" from "The People." We are the check; we are not the asset. THE "DEAL": Ratification via Firepower The Constitution passes only because of these assurances. Original Intent: This proves the Second Amendment (ratified 1791) was designed to preserve that 16-to-1 power ratio. European Comparison: Madison mocks acts of European kingdoms who "are afraid to trust the people with arms." He frames universal ownership as the definition of American liberty. THE BETRAYAL: Regulatory Creep & The Big Lie The Lie: "The Militia is the National Guard." The Dick Act of 1903 and modern commies try to tell you the Guard replaced the people. The Fact: Madison's math requires the people to be armed. If the "militia" is federally funded and deployed (National Guard), it's part of the standing army Madison warned us about. The Creep: NFA (1934), GCA (1968), and ATF braces/frame rules are all attempts to break Madison's ratio by disarming the 500,000. THE COMEBACK: How We Use This Today Bruen & History: Courts now look to "Text, History, and Tradition." Fed 46 is the gold standard of history. Weapons of War: Gun grabbers say you don't need "weapons of war." Federalist 46 says you must have them, or you cannot serve as the check on the standing army. The Bottom Line: Your AR-15 isn't a loophole. It's the lithmus test for whether Madison's promise is still alive. Going Ballistic   Conspiracies and Gun Control Nonsense The fusion conspiracy Restoration of Rights? DOJ Plays Hide and Seek with the Truth Analysis: The DOJ denied a FOIA request seeking the specific criteria used for rights restoration (relief from disabilities), claiming they are not obligated to create or define such records for the public. This refusal persists despite recent pardons raising questions about the process. When: FOIA denial reported late Dec 2025. Executive Overreach: Minnesota Governor Ignores the People on Gun Rights Analysis: After failing to pass "assault weapon" bans through a divided legislature, Governor Tim Walz signed two executive orders to create a safety council and track gun violence costs. Critics argue this bypasses the legislative process and the will of the people. When: Executive orders signed Dec 2025. Hawaii's Wishful Thinking Meets Reality: A Supreme Court Showdown on the Second Amendment Analysis: Hawaii defends its "sensitive places" law in Wolford v. Lopez, citing the "Aloha Spirit" and historical laws to justify bans on carry on private property. The case is set for a Supreme Court showdown, challenging the state's restrictive interpretation of the Second Amendment. When: SCOTUS hearing scheduled for January 20, 2026. Court Strikes Down New Mexico Gun Waiting Period Analysis: The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals denied a rehearing request, upholding a ruling that New Mexico's 7-day waiting period is unconstitutional. The court found that such delays burden Second Amendment rights without sufficient historical support. When: Ruling finalized Dec 2025. California's Latest Gun Grab: Background Checks on Gun Barrels, Really? Analysis: A new California law mandates that all gun barrel sales must be processed through licensed dealers with background checks and fees. The legislation also targets "digital firearm manufacturing code" and opens the door for civil suits against unlawful manufacture. When: Law takes effect Jan 1, 2026. DC's AR-15 Control Chaos: The Feds Strike Back Analysis: The Trump DOJ has filed a lawsuit against Washington, D.C., arguing that its ban on AR-15s and registration requirements are unconstitutional under Heller and Bruen. The suit asserts these bans target "common use" firearms based on cosmetic features. When: Lawsuit filed Dec 2025. GOP Lawmakers Blast DOJ For Betraying Gun Owners on NFA Analysis: GOP lawmakers, led by Daines and Clyde, sent a letter to AG Bondi demanding the DOJ stop defending National Firearms Act (NFA) registration mandates. They argue that the removal of the underlying tax (via the "One Big Beautiful Bill") renders the registration requirement void and contrary to congressional intent. When: Letter sent Dec 2025. When 'Red Flags' Signal Trouble: Colorado's Case Against Gun Control Analysis: A tragic case study of a suicide in Colorado highlights the failure of "Red Flag" laws. Critics argue that these laws focus on gun confiscation rather than providing necessary mental health treatment, leaving individuals in crisis without the help they truly need. When: Analysis published Dec 29, 2025.

In my experience, you can accomplish a lot of production by just working like a slave. Day in and day out. The world and most people will applaud you for it. But as I've stepped back from being a professional “doer” and given my attention to much more “being,” I'm realizing my fulfillment in life at large just increases. And my connection to myself, the world, and everyone keeps getting deeper. Further, I'm realizing that the lifestyles of the greatest minds I have been looking to for guidance, do not work like slaves. They do far less quantity of life, but in what I now value, have much more quality. So recently a book came across my desk about taking mini-retirements. At first glance I saw it as a tool to help you do literally that, take mini-retirements, or sabbaticals, from your work. But as I dug in, what I was drawn to most is how you must face your own identity and life values if you are not just working day in and day out. I found it all very, very revealing to help us ask, what are we doing, and why?! My guest and expert here is Jillian Johnsrud. Jillian is…not defined by her work. But inspired by the idea of sabbatical years, she set out to sprinkle retirements throughout her life. At 40, she has taken over a dozen mini-retirements. These allowed her to pursue dreams like living abroad, traveling to 27 countries, adopting four kids (plus two biological kids), investing in real estate, and touring the U.S. in a camper. She did this with her husband and kids and usually on less than $100k per year. Jillian has taught, coached, and wrote about mini-retirements for almost a decade. She has now written about her experience and insight in a new book, Retire Often: How anyone can take multiple career breaks to unlock adventure, advance their career, and find financial freedom. She hosts the Retire Often podcast and is a popular speaker and consultant for mini retirements. She lives in Montana, where she spends time in the garden drinking tea. Jillian's book, Retire Often, is literally a manual for stepping away from work, no matter what you do, but as you're about to hear, also addresses the philosophical questions that come into play.

Ahmed al Ahmed, who is being hailed as a Bondi Beach hero, told CBS News in an exclusive interview what was going through his mind as he tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen who opened fire at a Jewish celebration at the famous Sydney, Australia beach. The number of Americans with Alzheimer's disease is expected to double from 7 million in 2020 to 14 million by 2060, according to the CDC. However, advances in treatment options are giving more people hope in slowing the decline. Dr. Jon LaPook breaks it down. In April, nine GOP state senators from Montana were censured for voting with Democrats. Jo Ling Kent speaks with some of them about why they voted against party lines, and what they're hopes are for the future of U.S. politics. Singer and musician Roger Blevins spent three decades touring the country and world with his band, but in 2022 a life-changing cancer diagnosis brought everything to a halt. CBS News contributor David Begnaud shows how he found a way to come back even stronger.

KATIE CROSS - BIOGRAPHY Katie Cross is ALL ABOUT writing epic magic and wild places. Creating new fantasy worlds is her jam. When she's not hiking or chasing her two littles through the Montana mountains, you can find her curled up reading a book or arguing with her husband over the best kind of sushi. Visit her at www.KatieCrossBooks.com for free short stories, extra savings on all her books (and some you can't buy on the retailers), and so much more. Mark McWaters has long been a fan of all things that go bump in the night, scratch at the door, or blow cold air on the back of your neck. From a very young age, he carried a pad and pencil around with him, composing poems to give to girls. He devoured all the Hardy Boys and Doc Savage books he could get his hands on and expanded his reading horizons from there. Robert Heinlein, Asimov, and Bradbury, whetted his appetite for Sci-Fi. Ann Rice's Interview With The Vampire blew his mind. A scene from Stephen King's Salem's Lot haunts him to this day. And Watcher by Dean Koontz made him a lifelong fan. He earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Became an award-winning advertising copywriter and creative director and earned enough Clios, Addys, and Communication Arts awards for bragging rights. As a writer, Mark discovered the Florida Writers Association, critique groups and writing competitions. He's won a steady stream of FWA Royal Palm Literary awards for his unpublished short stories and novels. The inspiration behind “Ghost Dog” came while reading entry rules for a magazine looking for unusual spins on traditional horror. Houses, people, dolls, even cars get haunted. So, he thought, why not dogs? Bentley, a West Highland White Terrier who sleeps under Mark's desk while he writes, agreed. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 43rd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. The Writers of the Future Contest judges include, Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (The Oppenheimer Alternative), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), Hugh Howey (Wool), and Katherine Kurtz (Deryni series) to name a few. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 9 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book).

Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over the week's biggest headlines for Northwest Montana.  Newly obtained footage shows a Whitefish police officer contacted Border Patrol less than two minutes into an April 24 traffic stop for a broken taillight. The driver, Beker Rengifo del Castillo, is a Venezuelan man who entered the United States legally under a humanitarian parole program. The call, and the weeklong detention that followed, are now the focus of a lawsuit alleging unconstitutional seizure, false arrest, and racial profiling. A preliminary pretrial conference is scheduled for Jan. 30 in Missoula. Watch the full video of the body cam footage here.Next, we share the latest update on flood recovery efforts in Lincoln County, where at least nine bridges were washed out during mid-December storms. Officials say damage to county-owned roads, bridges, and culverts exceeds $5 million, and reconstruction timelines will depend on vendor availability and federal funding approvals.We then turn to the Flathead Reservation, where voters filled five open seats on the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Tribal Council. Three incumbents held their positions, while two seats changed hands. The newly elected council will be sworn in Jan. 2 and will soon select leadership roles.A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!

HEY! We encourage you to listen to this show as part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.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!Merry Christmas Eve Eve!Go ahead an unwrap our Happy Hour with John Gaskins early Christmas present to you — nothing much different than any other Tuesday with Sioux Falls Live's Matt Zimmer on the show.No "Top 5 Christmas Movies" or "Most Overrated Christmas Songs" lists, or "Egg Nog — Yea or Nay?"No "Year in Review" chronological stroll down memory lane of the biggest sports stories of 2025. (That's for tomorrow's Happy Hour — our Christmas Eve present!) Instead, Zim and the host give the gift that keeps on giving the whoooooooole year for the last five years of the weekly "Nobody's LIstening Anyway" podcast — brutal honesty and candor (with some humor) about the most intriguing current sports topics of the Sioux Empire and South Dakota.In this week's case, yet another discussion about what the future may look like for both NDSU and SDSU in college football, thanks to the latest internet whispers about the Bison's "playing footsie" with the Mountain West Conference. While nothing has been confirmed as fact, it's an open door to discussing which level of football is more desirable for NDSU and SDSU — the FCS or FBS.Did the humiliation of James Madison and Tulane by Power Four schools with far more resources and NIL money signal the beginning of the end to a "seat at the table" for the "rest of the FBS" beyond the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and Big 12? It certainly appears so.If that's the case, do the Bison and Jackrabbits really have a reason to move up? Well, maybe if there is ever the splitting of P4 from Non-P4, creating a new sub-level Div. I fusion of Group of Six FBS programs with some of the more established FBS-ish operations in the FCS like NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, and USD. As usual, Zim moves to the beat of his own drum on this topic. Then, a dive into the splashiest early pre-transfer portal headlines — heavy hitters who have announced they are staying at SDSU (Chase Mason, Quentin Christensen) and leaving USD (L.J. Phillips and Larenzo Fenner).It isn't just a conversation about the retention of players, but the types of players the two South Dakota programs recruit. Nuance is necessary and provided.Nuance would have been nice as rumors exploded about the possibility that Kalen DeBoer would ever leave Alabama for Michigan. Zim, a former teammate of DeBoer's in South Dakota amateur baseball who also covered DeBoer's five-year run of NAIA dominance at the University of Sioux Falls, sheds his own light on watching the speculation ignite in a ball of flames during the Crimson Tide's 17-point comeback playoff win at Oklahoma.Stocking stuffer — a glimpse into a weekend of South Dakota State's women's basketball that featured the two marquee games on the non-conference schedule within four days of each other. Duke and Texas both soundly beat the Jackrabbits. What might this mean in March for SDSU's possible NCAA Tournament seeding? Is it too early to just assume the Jacks will reach the Big Dance, which feels like an annual rite of passage?    Stocking stuffer II — Now what for Minnesota Vikings fans like Zim if J.J. McCarthy is done for the season with his new hand injury? It seemed like tracking the quarterback's progression to see if there is something to be optimistic about in 2026 has likely been replaced with the QB quandary that has stunted the team's growth for most of our lives.Merry Christmas. Bah Humbug! 

“We're positive reinforcement. We're not about punitive. We're not saying that you can't drink. What we're saying is, be responsible.” —Beth McBride “People don't change their behavior because we make them feel bad about it. Shame doesn't work. I would love for people to feel incentivized to make the right choice, supported in making the right choice, and feel that there's a cultural pressure to make the right choice because that is where we'll see a difference.” —Carli SeymourA single choice can change a family forever, and silence around that choice keeps the cycle alive. This conversation sits in the space where grief meets responsibility and where culture quietly decides what behavior gets a pass. It asks why something preventable still feels accepted in so many communities.Beth McBride and her daughter Carli Seymour share the story of losing their son and brother, Bobby, to a drunk driver, and how that loss led them to change Montana law and cofound Bar Fairies, a nonprofit focused on positive reinforcement and real cultural change around drinking and driving.Press play for a powerful, grounded conversation about grief, accountability, and what it looks like to turn heartbreak into action.Bobby's story and the night that changed everythingWhy Montana's DUI laws failed victims for decadesHow Bobby's Law became a realityThe origin of Bar Fairies and why positive reinforcement worksRural drinking culture and why it is harder to changeThe emotional reality of navigating grief while building something newHow small choices can create long-term cultural changeConnect with Heather: WebsiteLinkedInInstagramFacebook YouTubeEpisode Highlights:02:13 Meet Beth and Carli06:09 A Drunk Driving Accident13:49 Why the Driver Wasn't Charged with Felony19:11 Seeing the Driver Again— Trauma After Loss25:11 From Law Change to Bar Fairies 30:08 Surviving Grief and Honoring Loved Ones 39:20 Why Rural States Struggle More with DUI Fatalities 43:18 How Bar Fairies is Funded and Supported49:13 Ending the “Walk of Shame”   Resources:

That’s not a typo – 5 degrees Celsius of potential error. Only 19 pristine Class 1 sites remain capable of measuring actual ambient air temperature accurately. The rest? Located on airport runways, walled gardens, next to main roads, and inside solar farms. Places where concrete, engines, and infrastructure create artificial heat islands that have nothing to do with atmospheric temperature changes. The Met Office database also contains data from over 100 stations that don’t exist. They’re using “estimated” temperatures from unidentified neighboring stations and presenting it as real data. When journalist Ray Sanders started asking questions through Freedom of Information requests, the Met Office dismissed them as “vexatious” and “not in the public interest.” After media inquiries, the Met Office quietly removed estimated data from 3 non-existent stations. Of 17 new sites opened since April 2024, nearly 65% were immediately placed in the worst quality categories. UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance is calling scrutiny of this mess “misinformation” that weakens trust in science. Perhaps what actually weakens trust in science is using temperature readings from imaginary thermometers next to jet engines to justify trillion-pound Net Zero policies that reshape the entire economy. The data might be fine for tomorrow’s weather forecast. Using it to revolutionize Britain’s energy infrastructure?

That's a great question. The difference will be that today's bank accounts are in Federal Reserve “dollars”, which are debt-based, inflationary and losing value at a rapid pace. The new digital dollar stablecoins will be backed by gold or other assets (yet to be defined, but it's clearly how they're heading) and the purchasing power will go up. This is the first step out of the debt-based system enslaving most Americans – and by extension of the world reserve currency, most everyone in the Western world. People will eventually see that the asset-backed “digital dollar” is far superior to the Federal Reserve dollar. Once noticed, stablecoin dollars will be hoarded while Fed dollars will flood the market (Gresham's Law). No one will want the dying dollar -or any debt denominated in it – and much like the rise of gold and silver now against the Fed dollar, the digital dollar will also rise in value. Then everyone will transition, by choice, to an asset-backed currency without even knowing why they want those new dollars – they will just know that they hold value better. In other words, the “digital dollar” will actually be a store of value – evidence that it is actual money, not just a currency. Fix the money, fix the world.

Destroy the platform entirely because Elon wouldn’t play ball with their censorship demands. These groups operated by labeling anything they disagreed with as “misinformation” or “hate speech,” then lobbying governments to force platforms to remove it. Clare Melford’s Global Disinformation Index used U.S. taxpayer money to create scoring systems that effectively blacklisted conservative American news outlets, steering advertisers away from them to financially strangle speech they opposed. Breton personally sent threatening letters to Elon warning of consequences under EU law right before his live interview with Trump during the campaign. Now the banned activists are claiming this is an “authoritarian attack on free speech” and calling it “immoral, unlawful, and un-American.” These are the same people who built entire careers pressuring tech platforms to silence voices they found problematic. Suddenly they care deeply about censorship when it affects them. Free speech isn’t negotiable. It’s not something governments should regulate away because certain viewpoints make them uncomfortable, whether in Europe or America.

In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over 455 homes. They buy these homes claiming they’re turning these homes into home health care centers. She says the way we know Somalians have bought these homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars are parked in the driveway. She said, by law, the state will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these homes even have clients living in these homes. — Somalians have bought that home and they’re using that as a home health care center. She said these homes can even take people in who’ve just been released from jail and the neighborhood does not need to know about this. But she says, many of these homes do not even have clients in them. But the state is writing them checks every month for the clients that the Somalians say are in these homes. These Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these homes every year.” “The Somalians have figured out exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers out of their money. They are banking on this making millions of dollars and the government here in Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if there’s even clients living in these homes.

Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics. The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide. Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold. Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution. In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters. In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%. A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast. RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support. Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.” In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans. It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard.

The 6-3 decision left in force a judge's ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the majority said. The government hadn't shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.”   Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court's ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority's reasoning. “The Court fails to explain why the President's inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts.

The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light.

The public must be psychologically prepared. That's why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done. Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.

In today's episode, David McKnight breaks down the creditor protection rules for Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s, as well as why more and more Americans are turning to tax-free accounts to insulate themselves from creditors… and the Government itself. In theory, under Federal Law, all IRAs traditional or Roths receive a certain level of bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. However, that protection is specifically tied to bankruptcy proceedings. If you're sued in civil court, the Federal bankruptcy statute doesn't automatically apply, state law takes over… By pointing out differences between states like Texas, Arizona and Florida on one end, and California and Montana on the other, David explains that whether your Roth IRA survives a potential lawsuit intact depends largely on the state in which you reside. Roth 401(k)s play by a different set of rules, as they fall under the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). David notes that "ERISA is the big Federal law that governs most employer-sponsored retirement plans, and it comes with some of the strongest creditor  protection available anywhere in the financial world."  According to David, it's not hard to see why the Federal Government is going to need huge infusions of new revenue in the very near future. Wondering how they will be raising that capital? By targeting the nearly $45 trillion in tax-deferred retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k). In other words, while your retirement accounts may indeed be largely immune to lawsuits, they're entirely exposed to the impact of rising tax rates. David points out that contributing to 401(k)s or IRAs is like going into a business partnership with the IRS – every year, they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. Remember: a well-planned Roth strategy doesn't just shield you from tomorrow's higher tax rates, it can also serve as a fortress protecting your wealth from outside claims.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)

The Christmas holiday season is now underway.  Yours truly will trek down I-20 to visit family in north Louisiana for several days later this week. This will be the final SwampSwami report for 2025, so let’s make it worth your time with some bold predictions for the upcoming playoff games! First, a review of last weekend’s first round of the College Football Playoffs #9 seed Alabama 34, #8 Oklahoma 24 The Oklahoma Sooners looked unbeatable early in the second quarter of last Friday night’s opening game of this year’s playoffs. Alas, it was the second half of that same second quarter which wrecked the Sooner Schooner and its national title hopes. OU raced to 17-0 lead early in the second quarter by scoring on three consecutive possessions.  Alabama finally put some points on the board with a 75-yard touchdown drive to make it 17-7. Then Oklahoma’s All-SEC punter Grayson Miller accidentally dropped the ball just prior to punting it.  Bama quickly recovered and would kick a field goal to trail 17-10. On the next possession, Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer completed a beautiful pass – right into the hands of Alabama defensive back Zabien Brown – for a 50-yard interception and score for the Crimson Tide. This game went to halftime tied at 17 apiece.  The Oklahoma football team and its home crowd of more than 80,000 looked shocked and deflated heading to the locker room after a self-inflicted second quarter collapse. Alabama tacked on ten more points in the third quarter to take a 27-17 lead.  The Tide went on to win 34-24 and will face #1 seed Indiana in a second round game on January 1. #10 seed Miami 10, #7 seed Texas A&M 3 Nobody could have predicted this putrid offensive performance by both teams in the first two quarters.  The scoreboard registered 0-0 at halftime on a dry, warm 75-degree Saturday afternoon in College Station, Texas. Miami finally got on the scoreboard with a third quarter field goal.  They were matched by Texas A&M early in the fourth quarter to make the score 3-3. That’s when Hurricanes’ running back Mark Fletcher, Jr. took over and literally carried his team on his back Saturday with 172 rushing yards.  His punishing fourth quarter runs carried the Canes downfield to take a 10-3 lead with two minutes to go. A final drive by the Aggies to the Miami 5-yard line ended when Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed was intercepted on a questionable pass into the end zone. Miami returns to the state of Texas next Wednesday night to play #2 seed Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve. #6 seed Ole Miss 41, #11 seed Tulane 10 Before you blinked, the Coach Lane Kiffin-less Rebels jumped to a 14-0 lead with only a few minutes gone in the first quarter.  You may remember that Ole Miss played Tulane earlier in the season and came away with a lopsided 45-10 victory. Tulane never had a chance (again) in stepping-up to play this high-scoring SEC foe.  The Green Wave finished the season with an 11-3 record. Ole Miss travels to New Orleans to face #3 seed Georgia next Thursday on New Year’s Day in the Sugar Bowl. #5 seed Oregon 51, #12 seed James Madison 34 The Ducks had their way with the JMU Dukes in Saturday’s final first round College Football Playoff game.  Oregon led 34-6 at halftime and coasted the rest of the way. James Madison finished its season with an outstanding 12-2 record. The Ducks of Oregon will migrate across the USA next week to play #4 seed Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day. Prediction time! Wednesday, December 31 – 6:30PM CST on ESPN – Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas #2 seed Ohio State (12-1) vs. #10 seed Miami (FL) (11-2) Ohio State is rusty after nearly a month off, but they have more than enough firepower to sink Miami’s battleship.  The Hurricanes’ very expensive NIL transfer quarterback Carson Beck needs to have his best game of the year to deliver a win for the Canes. I don’t think he will. Prediction – Ohio State 31, Miami 14 Thursday, January 1 – 11AM CST on ESPN – Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida #5 seed Oregon (12-1) vs. #4 seed Texas Tech (12-1) Oregon and Texas Tech can light-up the scoreboard, but the Red Raiders’ defense should become the big difference in this game.  Oregon’s second half against James Madison displayed a number of defensive lapses.  Texas Tech took good notes and should exploit the Ducks secondary in rolling to a surprisingly easy win. Prediction – Texas Tech 38, Oregon 24 Thursday, January 1 – 3PM CST on ESPN – Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California #9 seed Alabama (11-3) vs. #1 seed Indiana (13-0) The only unbeaten team in major college football takes center stage in the famous Rose Bowl against SEC power Alabama.  Indiana’s gritty 13-10 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game validated their claim to the #1 spot. Alabama’s offense must duplicate its second half performance against Oklahoma’s defense in order to stay close in this game.  In the end, Indiana’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza has a more balanced offense than Alabama and should prevail. Prediction – Indiana 28, Alabama 17 Thursday, January 1 – 7PM CST on ESPN – Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana #6 seed Ole Miss (12-1) vs. #3 seed Georgia (12-1) Watch to see if the Ole Miss offense can exploit enough weaknesses in the Georgia defense to stay close in the first half of this game.  If not, Georgia’s ball-control offense has a tendency to wear down opponents late in the game.  Georgia has a proven big-time coach in two-time national champion Kirby Smart.  I cannot pick four favorites, so I like Ole Miss to jump to an early lead and stun Georgia in the Superdome next week. Prediction – Ole Miss 27, Georgia 21 Now, let’s review Saturday’s FCS Semifinals and make a Championship Prediction! #2 seed Montana State 48, #3 seed Montana 23 Montana State has been really close to winning a national title in recent years.  The Bobcats have finished second to North Dakota State three times in the past five seasons. This year, the Bison of NDSU lost – at home – to fast-improving Illinois State and left the door open for a new champion.  Montana State (now 13-2) punched its ticket to the title game on January 5 in Nashville with an emphatic fourth quarter performance to eliminate intrastate rival Montana. The Bobcats scored 21 points in the final quarter on Saturday afternoon to pull away from the Grizzlies.  Montana State will be attempting to win the school’s first FCS national title since 1984. Unseeded Illinois State 30, #12 seed Villanova 14 Illinois State won its fourth consecutive road playoff game by wearing down Villanova in Philadelphia on Saturday night. The “Roadbirds” improved to 12-4 in advancing to the FCS title game in Nashville in less than two weeks.  Illinois State traveled south, north, west, and east to defeat Southeastern Louisiana, defending champion North Dakota State, UC-Davis, and Villanova in succession in this year’s FCS playoffs. Quarterback Tommy Rittenhouse, school-record holding wide receiver Daniel Sobkowicz, and the Redbirds’ relentless 220-pound running back senior Victor Dawson controlled the football for nearly 40 minutes to just 20 for Villanova in Saturday night’s latest win. The Redbirds will try to grab the school’s first FCS football championship against 13-2 Montana State in the title game. *Prediction – FCS Championship Game – Monday, January 5 – 6:30PM CST on ESPN in Nashville, Tennessee #2 seed Montana State (13-2) vs. unseeded Illinois State (12-4) The two teams which have defeated all comers and will face-off in a fascinating title game being held this year at Vanderbilt University’s football stadium in Nashville. Montana State is capable of beating teams methodically or with big plays on offense.  The Bobcats’ opportunistic defense has been stellar all season.  This confident Illinois State team fears no one.  The Redbirds just became the first FCS football team to go 4-0 on the road to reach the finals. Illinois State’s defense can be suspect at times.  Montana State must not allow the Redbirds to control the ball like they have done throughout their incredible run in the FCS playoffs. This game should be a dandy!  I like the experience of Montana State to prevail in a very competitive title game. Prediction – Montana State 35, Illinois State 28 Heaux, Heaux, Heaux – it’s time for me to geaux! Merry Christmas to all!

Each year wheat farmers from every state are invited to enter the National Wheat Yield Contest to compete for the highest yield in bushels-per-acre. This year, Montana’s winner in the Dryland Winter Wheat category was an 18-year-old who farms near Ryegate. Not only did Wyatt Ramage post the top yield in the state, but he also placed 5th in the entire nation for “Percent of Yield Above the County Average”, because his per-acre-yield was over 3 times the average for his county! The National Wheat Yield Contest is a project of the National Wheat Foundation, assisted by the staff of the National Association of Wheat Growers. Winners are selected in several categories, so the List of 2025 State Winners includes both Dryland and Irrigated Winter Wheat and Spring Wheat growers from across America. In a podcast with Taylor Brown, Wyatt Ramage and his father Kelly Ramage, (who has placed in the National Wheat Yield Contest previously), discuss the contest and what it takes to accomplish their award-winning yields. Joining the Ramage Family in the Northern Ag Network Studio was Nathan Haynie, Crop Agronomist, and Area manager for Nutrien Ag Solutions in Billings. The Ramages purchased their seed and many of their crop inputs from Nutrien Ag Solutions, a leading supplier of seed varieties, fertilizer, crop protection products and agronomic expertise.

Did PTSD exist in the Old West, and if so, did it contribute to the violence of the frontier? Join me as we explore how trauma affected soldiers and civilians alike long before the condition had a name, from Civil War veterans suffering from what was once called soldiers' heart or Da Costa's syndrome to rising rates of alcoholism, domestic violence, and institutionalization across the United States. Using historical research, homicide statistics from frontier towns like Dodge City and San Francisco, and modern scholarship, we'll examine whether PTSD was a driving force behind Old West violence or one factor among many. And stick around to the end for another listener Q&A! We'll discuss Brushy Bill Roberts, Doc Scurlock, Henry Plummer, and the Montana vigilantes, along with reflections on notable Western films and books.   National Center for PTSD - https://www.ptsd.va.gov/   Legends & Outlaws Calendar!  https://wildwestcalendar.com/   Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/   Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Learn more about your ad choices.

411 Encouraging Change and Growth   In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Rachael Bohns discuss the significance and necessity of change as well as the importance of acknowledging and catering to the strengths of yourself and those around you.    Highlights Doing what's best for you even if no one knows, and especially for your own sake. Collaboration and commitment instead of obligation. Driving desire.    Quotes "Most of the time change is thrusted upon us." "Change is individual to people." "Reward is individual."   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, My question for you is what will you do with this information? When you think about the ADKAR framework; the Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement, what example can you come up with from your life, where you had something that needed to change and you went through that process, or what if you had gone through that process would it have changed anything in your change? Made it more successful or faster. And then think about a change that's going on right now in your life, personal or professional or both, and use the ADKAR framework to see where you are in that spectrum. Are you at the beginning, are you at the desire stage, are you already at the reinforcement stage of your change and now you just need to consistently keep it?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Rachael (from her LinkedIn) Passionate Industrial/Organizational Psychologist that believes in the importance of a healthy workforce.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore welcomes industry veteran Steve Roderick, the man behind Bozeman, Montana's Ridge Athletic. Steve began his career in the HALO sector serendipitously—thanks to a chance encounter in a Wyoming bar—Roderick talks about how his love for athletics fueled his vision to elevate community health and wellness. From building the Ridge from the ground up to navigating the constantly evolving landscape of Bozeman, he reflects on the importance of creating a multi-generational, welcoming environment, his strategies for growth, and the value of relationships—both inside the club and across the industry. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an operator, or a passionate member of the HALO sector, Steve's story is packed with insights on building culture, driving community impact, and staying ahead through collaboration. When it comes to the secret of building out a great team Roderick jokes, "If you're gonna run a business, the thing you need to do is hire people smarter than you. And I said, 'Well, that's gonna be easy!'" Key themes discussed Origins and evolution of Ridge Athletic. Strategic location and real estate development. Building brand equity and community presence. Facility design and member demo. Growth of Bozeman and regional opportunities. Creating strong company culture and staff retention. Importance of networking and industry learning. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Building from the Ground Up and Taking Risks: Roderick got his (very) unexpected start in the fitness club business when he was literally handed the keys to a 30,000 square foot facility in Wyoming that was going out of business. He didn't know much about running a gym but dove in, learned quickly, and eventually built his own fitness center from scratch in Bozeman. 2. The Importance of Location and Vision: When developing Ridge Athletic, Steve  chose a piece of land on the outskirts of Bozeman, trusting that the community would eventually grow around the facility. Over time, his vision proved spot-on, with Bozeman's expansion making The Ridge a hub of activity and fitness in the center of town. 3. Community and Brand Equity: Maintaining both a main facility and a satellite downtown location allowed The Ridge to reach diverse demographics and reinforce its presence. Steve recognized the value of building relationships in the business district while also expanding with a larger, flagship facility. 4. Creating a Welcoming Culture for Staff and Members: A key to The Ridge's success is the positive, team-driven culture Steve built for both employees and members. He focuses on hiring people who are passionate and smarter than himself, fostering an environment where staff feel respected and motivated, which translates to a better experience for members. 5. Catering to All Ages and Building for the Future: The Ridge is intentionally inclusive, offering programs and spaces for everyone—from children to seniors. He emphasizes that creating meaningful programming for kids encourages family memberships and helps foster lifelong fitness habits. He also stresses the need for continued professional growth and industry connection, citing the value of mastermind groups like REX Roundtable.

One of the most shocking parts of the Christmas story isn't the virgin birth or the angels—it's who got invited first. Pastor Levi shares how Shepherds, who were outcasts, couldn't testify in court, religiously unclean, and totally unwanted, were the VIPs at Jesus' birth. This reveals something stunning about God's Kingdom: it operates completely upside-down from everything we expect. If you've ever felt unqualified, too messy, or like you're in the wrong place for God to use you—this Christmas message will show you why those are exactly the credentials Heaven celebrates!GIVE YOUR YEAR-END OFFERING:Be a part of building the Kingdom: https://freshlife.church/give/NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Emmanuel—“God with us”—is more than a Christmas name; it’s a lived reality for everyday decisions, uncertain transitions, and moments when courage feels thin. Rooted in Matthew 1:23, this devotional reflection highlights how God’s presence shows up faithfully in seasons of change, reminding us that wherever we go, He goes before us and never leaves us alone. Highlights Emmanuel means God is present, not distant or detached. Stepping into the unknown often reveals God’s faithfulness more clearly. God provides protection, community, and provision in unexpected ways. Small details can become powerful reminders of God’s care. Scripture reassures us that God goes before us and stands with us. The same God who guided past seasons is with us right now. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Emmanuel: God Is With You, Even Now By: Alexis A. Goring Bible Reading:“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” - Matthew 1:23 NLT I sat at a crossroads in my mind. Physically, I was in the driver’s seat of my car in the parking lot between Panera Bread and my favorite local bookstore. But mentally, my mind was weighing the pros and cons of a new job offer. Minutes earlier, Erin, who was the managing editor for the newspaper where I worked as a freelance reporter, had called me to say a publisher of a newspaper in Montana had called her asking for a recommendation about me. She said he sounded very interested in hiring me. In fact, she thought I was getting the job! I was excited but also apprehensive. If they offered me this job, then was I ready to leave the only home I’d known, pack my bags, and relocate from Maryland to Montana? After all, I was a city and suburb East Coast Girl. Was I ready to take this leap of faith and move out to the West of the USA without knowing anyone there or what to expect? Within a matter of days, the publisher interviewed me via Zoom and offered me the job. I froze. Was this really happening? After a moment of silence, I asked for time to think it over. He agreed. Later that day, my Mom—convinced this was the right opportunity for me at that time—said I should accept the job offer and prepare to move. After prayer—and considering the fact that I needed a job, but no local jobs had been offered to me for several months prior—I agreed and told the publisher I would move to Montana. My Mom took a week off from work to help me relocate. We took a flight from BWI and a connecting flight before landing in a small airport in Montana. I still remember the statue of a big cow standing tall and strong in the center of baggage claim. We had arrived in what they call Big Sky Country. Over the course of that week, Mom and I explored my new neighborhood—a small town that was equally charming as the people were nice. We drove an hour away to Billings (the nearest city), where we shopped for home living essentials at Target and Walmart, visited the Ashley Furniture Store to furnish my apartment, and enjoyed meals at the local village cafe near my new home. We both enjoyed the fresh mountain air, the wide-open spaces of land, and being able to see the stars shine bright in the sky at night. When it came time for Mom to leave before sunrise to catch an early flight at the airport so she could return home to Maryland, she told me to pray this prayer every day: God be with me. After she left and the sun rose in the sky, I put on a brave face and said that prayer, then moved forward fearlessly. Looking back, I see how God protected me and kept me safe during that time when I lived alone. He kept wild animals away (cougars were known to prowl near where I lived). He kept me safe when I drove alone through roadways bordered by majestic mountains. God also sent His blessings my way: He surrounded me with people in the community who seemed to care about me. He blessed me with friends who were Christians and married to each other; they drove me to church in Billings every weekend until my car was shipped to my new location. He blessed me with a good neighbor who lived across the hall from me. Her name was Lindsay. She and her school-age children baked Peanut Butter Blossom cookies for me with Hershey’s Kisses in the center of each cookie. They gave this sweet treat to me as a Christmas gift. It showed me that God cares about the little details in life because I was craving chocolate that night, but couldn’t drive anywhere that late to buy it from the grocery store. When my time in Montana was over, God sent Lindsay to my door the night before I had to catch my flight home to Maryland. When I opened the door, she greeted me with a Christmas card and a sincere expression on her face. When I opened the card, money fell out. She told me she had been praying for me, and God told her that is what I needed. I thanked Lindsay for the generous gift. All the time I journeyed in Montana, God was with me. I felt His Presence as clear as day. He sent the people I needed at the right time every time. He blessed my time there, and He brought me home safely. I am so grateful to have witnessed firsthand how God moves. While in Montana that December, a Christmas song by Casting Crowns titled “God is with Us” became the soundtrack for my real-life story. I encourage you to listen to it here: https://youtu.be/xhzWypOp-E4?si=w8ytw4wn34FE9-bC The same God who was with me while I lived alone in Montana is with us today. The Bible says He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). He goes before us! I can testify to that fact because I saw how God aligned me with every person whom He knew I would need while away from home.

Go check it out and throw your name in the hat! What's up, elk hunters! This week on the Elk Hunt Podcast, I sat down with my buddy Jared Miller, and man, this conversation went deep. We started talking about rifle hunting versus archery hunting elk (spoiler: Jared thinks rifle hunting elk in Montana is way harder than bow hunting), and somehow ended up diving into the mental game of archery, bow tuning secrets, and his insane Matthews hunt that we filmed this fall. Jared's one of those guys who's just obsessed with the process - whether it's shooting Vegas rounds every single day, torque tuning his bow, or working through Joel Turner's shot control process. We get into all of it. He shares some wild stories from this season, including a two-day Montana archery hunt that turned into one of the best films we've put out, and breaks down exactly how he stalked to 20 yards on a bedded bull in socks. If you're into archery hunting, this episode is packed with gold. We talk about grip pressure, forgiveness in bow setups, the mental side of executing under pressure, and why Jared shoots 30-60 arrows a day leading into season. Plus, he drops some serious knowledge on open country elk hunting and what he's learned about where these bulls actually bed. This one's a bit different from our usual episodes - less tactical talk, more mental game and archery deep dive - but I think you're gonna love it.

The lesson: find what works for you and stick to it, especially when the pressure is on. Forgiveness Over Speed in Bow Setup - Instead of chasing maximum speed, Jared prioritizes forgiveness in his bow setup (shooting around 280-285 fps, lots of vane, torque tuning). He explains how you can find an "equilibrium" where your bow hits center even when you torque left or right - critical for real hunting situations when you're not perfect. Mental Reps Are Everything - Jared shoots 30-60 arrows a day, but not just for physical strength. He's training his mental process - getting comfortable operating in a state of awareness, managing shot anticipation, and executing controlled shots even when his pin is floating. He credits Joel Turner's process for helping him overcome severe target panic that had even started affecting his rifle shooting.

The episode articulates the significant impact of a potent Pacific storm train, which continues to target the western region of the United States, particularly California and Washington. We delve into the widespread flood watches issued by the National Weather Service, affecting vast areas along the California coast and valleys, alongside heavy snowfall in the Sierra Nevada, which complicates mountainous travel. Additionally, we address the winter storm warning currently in effect for the Washington Cascades, where hazardous conditions prevail due to blowing snow. Our discussion further encompasses the emergency declaration approved by FEMA for Montana, aimed at providing federal support in response to recent flooding incidents. We conclude by emphasizing the need for vigilance and safety amidst these challenging weather conditions, while we continue to monitor ongoing developments across various states. A comprehensive examination of the ongoing meteorological conditions reveals a formidable Pacific storm train currently imposing significant weather events across the western regions of the United States. The National Weather Service has issued widespread flood watches encompassing much of California's coastal and valley areas, while simultaneously, heavy snowfall is complicating travel through the Sierra Nevada mountains. This duality of weather phenomena underscores the potential for both flooding and treacherous travel conditions, particularly in the context of the Sierra, where snow accumulation is exacerbating the risks associated with winter travel. Further north, the Washington Cascades are under a winter storm warning, highlighting hazardous conditions including blowing snow and limited visibility, which pose serious risks to both residents and travelers alike. As we navigate through these intense weather patterns, it is imperative to remain vigilant and informed, as river flood warnings persist in various basins, reflecting the substantial impact these storms are having on local ecosystems and communities alike.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has issued widespread flood watches across California's coastal regions and valleys.* A potent Pacific storm is currently affecting the West, leading to hazardous weather conditions.* FEMA has approved an emergency declaration for Montana in light of recent flooding incidents.* Winter storm warnings are in effect for the Washington Cascades, indicating severe weather challenges ahead.* Flood warnings persist on several rivers, including the Skokomish, indicating ongoing minor flooding issues.* Minnesota is experiencing icy road conditions due to overnight freezing rain, affecting travel safety.Sources[FEMA | https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20251220/president-donald-j-trump-approves-emergency-declaration-montana][NWS San Diego | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=flood+watch][NWS Bay Area | https://www.weather.gov/mtr/][NWS Sacramento | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?product1=Flood+Watch&warnzone=CAZ066][NWS Eureka (Eel River) | https://www.weather.gov/eka/][NWS Seattle | https://www.weather.gov/sew/][NWS Warning Text | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=sew&wwa=winter+storm+warning][NWS River Warning | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=flood+warning][NWS Medford | https://www.weather.gov/mfr/][NWS Advisory Timing | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=43.1787&lon=-122.1389][NWS Spokane | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?firewxzone=IDZ101&product1=Winter+Weather+Advisory][Montana Governor | https://gov.mt.gov/Documents/GovernorsOffice/executiveorders/View?doc=EO112025DisasterDeclarationStatewideSevereWindEvent002.pdf][NWS Missoula | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][NWS Fairbanks | https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=usa&wwa=winter+weather+advisory][MnDOT 511 | https://511mn.org/list/events][MPR News | https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/12/22/road-conditions-icy-schools-delayed-in-southern-minnesota] This is a public episode.
