When disaster comes, how should we respond? Pastor Garvon Golden shares this message from Scripture read from II Chronicles 7:14–14. The passage tells us to humble ourselves, pray, look for His presence and turn from our wicked ways. This message was delivered on August 10, 2025 at Christ Church of Rapid City, South Dakota.

Ben Klusmann has a passion for his home state of South Dakota and wants to share it with everyone he can. Thus, So Dak Horizons was born. Ben spends his days hunting, fishing and exploring his home state of South Dakota for everything that he can.  I have to say, personally, I have to agree with him that South Dakota is one of the most overlooked gems of a state. Its terrain is breathtaking, the animals are abundant and the people are as kind and genuine as any I have found outside of the south.  Today we talk with Ben about his passion for South Dakota as well as his passion for his faith and how he uses his platform to share those two passions.    www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

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)

This week on AgweekTV, we're in Redwood County, Minnesota, covering all things agriculture at Minnesota Farmfest. We'll see where a hailstorm devastated crops in South Dakota. We'll take you to a distillery that uses local organic grains to make its spirits. And we'll take you to a skid-steer rodeo at Farmfest.  

Rev up those engines! We're back with another adventure. This week John and Bobbo are reporting LIVE from Sturgis, South Dakota where they are participating in the festivities of the annual bike rally. They're hanging out with their gas Monkey compadre Richard Rawlings and trying not to piss him off by stealing his most precious bike and we also hear from the locals to find out the history and how it's really going down! If we can get past the ghost of the haunted catfish, we might even talk to an ex-communicated Jehovah's witness to get the low down on what their whole deal is. JD Ryan, Turley, Pre Kay & Maddox are holding the fort down in Walnut Springs and of course we're taking calls and buying cars! Won't you strap in and take a trip with us? It's a long ride but I promise it's going to be fun!

Amid the ongoing reckoning over America's history of anti-Black racism, scores of monuments to slaveowners and Confederate soldiers still proudly dot the country's landscape, while schools and street signs continue to bear the names of segregationists. With poignant, lyrical prose, cultural commentator Irvin Weathersby confronts the inescapable specter of white supremacy in our open spaces and contemplates what it means to bear witness to sites of lasting racial trauma.Professor Weathersby takes us from the streets of his childhood in New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward to the Whitney Plantation; from the graffitied pedestals of Confederate statues lining Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, to the location of a racist terror attack in Charlottesville; from the site of the Wounded Knee massacre in South Dakota to a Kara Walker art installation at a former sugar factory in Brooklyn, New York. Along the way, he challenges the creation myths embedded in America's landmarks and meets artists, curators, and city planners doing the same.

The vibrant green landscape stretching across North Dakota this summer tells a remarkable story of agricultural transformation. What began as a potentially devastating drought has evolved into one of the most verdant growing seasons in recent memory, with implications reaching far beyond this year's harvest.Jim Sabe and Daryl Lies take listeners on a journey across the state's diverse growing regions, from the unexpectedly lush Badlands to the thriving croplands of the north. "I've never seen the state this green besides probably 2013 or 14," Sabe remarks, highlighting how timely rainfall has dramatically altered production outlooks. The transformation is particularly striking in traditionally arid areas south of Bowman extending into South Dakota, where ranchers are harvesting second cuttings of hay – a rare occurrence that speaks to the exceptional moisture patterns.This abundance brings both opportunity and challenge. While crops appear poised for excellent yields, with corn standing six to seven feet tall and canola fields described as "so thick you could roll across without touching ground," the persistent rainfall threatens harvest logistics. Some alfalfa has already been lost to excessive moisture, and concerns mount about field conditions as harvest season approaches. Meanwhile, commodity prices remain stubbornly low, creating a situation where bushel count becomes critical for profitability despite visually impressive fields.The conversation extends beyond immediate growing conditions to examine shifting global agricultural markets. Drawing from his recent meetings with trade representatives in Washington DC, Ease offers valuable perspective on how China's declining population contrasts with India's growth, potentially requiring American producers to adapt their crop selections in coming years. "American agriculture being dependent on row crops in 10 years might not be the thing," he notes, suggesting pulse crops and protein production may offer better opportunities as global consumption patterns evolve.Subscribe to hear more insights on agricultural markets, land values, and production trends from the experts who work directly with farmers and ranchers across the Northern Plains. Whether you're actively farming or simply interested in the forces shaping rural America, these conversations provide valuable perspective you won't find anywhere else.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

In this powerful episode of The Heart of Rural America, Amanda Radke sits down with South Dakota landowner Senator Mark Lapka to discuss the growing controversy around carbon pipelines, federal eminent domain, and the far-reaching implications of HR 4135.

The next school year is nearly upon us. We hear from superintendents, educators and elementary students before the first school bell of the year rings across South Dakota.

South Dakota announced a new immigration enforcement initiative. Our Dakota Political Junkies discuss how to know if the program impacts public safety.

In this special edition of Beyond the Rodeo, director and screenwriter Kate Beecroft shares the inspiration behind her film "East of Wall," a project born from a three-year journey immersing herself in the lives of South Dakota horsewomen Tabatha and Porshia Zimiga. Kate's discovery of their genuine Western lifestyle led to a powerful narrative that blends professional acting with the true essence of ranch life. The film highlights the importance of horses in Tabitha's life, not only as a career but also as a source of therapy, while Porshia recounts the challenges and triumphs of her first acting experience, showcasing her talent beyond her skills as a barrel racer. Our conversation celebrates the authenticity of "East of Wall," a docu-fiction that stands out for its genuine portrayal of the Western lifestyle, particularly through the eyes of real-life ranchers. Tabitha's expertise as a horse trainer ensured that the film's equestrian scenes resonated with realism. Porshia's joy in performing alongside her horse adds a special touch to the film, highlighting the personal connections that elevate its authenticity and charm. Together, they bring to life the trials and triumphs of ranch life, offering viewers a fresh perspective on a timeless culture. We also turn our focus to the empowerment of women within the cowboy and rodeo spheres, spotlighting their strength and resilience through storytelling. "East of Wall" breaks down traditional stereotypes by showcasing women in roles that underscore their integral contributions to this rugged lifestyle. With a press tour on the horizon and an upcoming premiere in South Dakota, the anticipation for the film's impact is palpable.  Tune in to hear all about "East of Wall" and get tickets to see it in a theater near you on August 15.    Listener discretion advised: This episode and the film East of Wall contains expletives and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Our Dakota Political Junkies take a closer look at the goals of South Dakota's new immigration enforcement initiative. And based on those goals, how do we know it's working?

Sixteen and living in a small Michigan town, Gertie is harboring a secret heavy enough to fracture her closest friendship. She and Cindy have been bonded since birth by the fact their fathers are addicts, and their unsteady home lives are a little easier when they're together, sprawled on a trampoline with pilfered vodka and dreams of moving to New York.After an accident involving a bonfire and an aerosol canister sends Gertie to the hospital, she finds herself with nowhere to go but to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to live with her newly sober father. She sees it as a chance to escape the hometown drama she's caused, but drama finds her all the same: parties without curfews, boys without boundaries, a compromising photo, tragedy back home . . . and her father, once again teetering on the edge of oblivion. Terrified of the consequences of being honest with Cindy, her sole refuge is the fantasy novel she's writing, a portal to another world and the story of a young girl roaming a strange land, trusting her wits to survive.Years later, when ghosts of the past surface, Gertie decides to write again about that explosive summer from the stabler shores of adulthood. Powered by the fierce imagination of her youth, Gertie finally allows herself the grace to tell a version of her narrative that she always hoped would be true.Written with the feel and power of a ticking time bomb, Atomic Hearts is an unforgettable story of the ways we can be saved by friendship, love, and imagination.

The Question That Changed Everything SLAT vs ILIT for High Net Worth Estate Planning isn't just a legal distinction—it's a strategic decision that could determine how well your wealth serves your family, both now and for generations to come. https://www.youtube.com/live/CzyssnZbzD0 We were deep into a conversation with Andrew Howell, one of the foremost estate planning attorneys in the country, when he casually dropped a statement that made us pause: "I haven't drafted a new ILIT in over a decade." Wait… what? For those of us in the world of estate strategy, that kind of remark is the equivalent of a mic drop. And that's when we knew: the conversation around trusts and legacy planning has shifted in a fundamental way. He wasn't saying ILITs are obsolete—but that SLATs have become the preferred vehicle for families who want more than just a tax shelter. They want flexibility, values-based guidance, and multigenerational control. That one sentence reframed everything we thought we knew about irrevocable trust structures—and gave us a deeper commitment to educating families about their options. Why This MattersWhat Is a SLAT (Spousal Lifetime Access Trust)?What Is an ILIT (Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust)?SLAT vs ILIT for High Net Worth Estate PlanningAccess to FundsEstate Tax EfficiencyControl and FlexibilityLong-Term Legacy PotentialHow Dynasty Trusts Multiply the ImpactWhat This Means for YouBook A Strategy Call Why This Matters If you're a high net worth individual navigating the estate planning world, you already know: it's not just about minimizing taxes. It's about maximizing impact. You want your wealth to do more than sit in a trust. You want it to: Empower your family. Pass on your values. Stay protected from taxes, lawsuits, and family fragmentation. Serve as a guiding structure for generational growth. That's what today's article is about. We're unpacking SLAT vs ILIT for high net worth estate planning so you can: Understand the pros and cons of each structure. Learn how each trust operates in real-life scenarios. Discover which strategy aligns with your long-term legacy goals and family dynamics. And if you missed our previous post, The Pros and Cons of an ILIT, that's a must-read companion to this piece. It sets the stage for why SLATs are now stealing the spotlight. The stakes are too high to leave this decision to a boilerplate legal plan or a one-size-fits-all document. You deserve a legacy plan as unique and dynamic as the family you're building it for. Let's get into it. What Is a SLAT (Spousal Lifetime Access Trust)? Bruce and I have seen this firsthand: a SLAT is one of the most powerful tools for families who want access, flexibility, and control—while also removing assets from their estate. With a SLAT, you gift assets into an irrevocable trust for your spouse's benefit. This removes those assets (and any future growth) from your estate, reducing estate taxes and creating protection from creditors. But here's the real magic: Your spouse can access the trust assets during their lifetime. You (the grantor) can indirectly benefit from those assets. You can build in trust protectors, distribution trustees, and managers for increased control and long-term accountability. And here's where it gets even more powerful—many families are using SLATs as the foundation for their Family Bank strategy. That means the trust isn't just a vault—it's a lending institution. Your children or grandchildren can borrow from the trust to: Start a business Purchase a first home Fund their education But unlike a handout, these loans come with terms, accountability, and stewardship expectations. It's not entitlement—it's training. It's a way to extend trust and responsibility. Andrew emphasized that in states like Nevada, South Dakota, and Delaware, the flexibility of SLATs increases even more.

Pack your ghost-hunting gear and your frontier sass because this episode is headin' west in search of haunted ghost towns. First stop: Bannack, Montana, a gold rush town frozen in time and reportedly still hosting guests at the famously haunted Meade Hotel. We'll dive into the eerie tale of Dorothy Dunn, the young girl whose tragic fate may have tethered her spirit to the old town . . . when she isn't following you home. Then we hitch a spectral ride to Deadwood, South Dakota, where Wild Bill Hickok was shot holding the “Dead Man's Hand”—and may not have folded just yet. We'll also check in (but maybe not sleep) at the Bullock Hotel, where lawman-turned-hotelier Seth Bullock is said to keep things orderly even from beyond the grave.
