SDDP 018 Beyond Noem South Dakota Department of Propaganda Podcast

Please let me know what you think of this new format! Thank you!
The episode begins with an anecdotal story that discusses local South Dakota politics, including the Yankton Sioux Tribe's decision to ban Governor Kristi Noem from their reservation, responses to governmental policies, and reflections on Noem’s controversial actions and public image. It then shifts to cover state-wide concerns such as staffing mandates affecting the long-term healthcare industry, Rick Weiland's involvement in ballot measures to influence public policy, and the challenges faced by Native American tribal nations regarding federal funding for law enforcement and education. The podcast also delves into broader political discussions, including critiques of Republican party members for allegedly echoing Russian talking points, proposals for federal marijuana policy change, and the potential for South Dakota to join the passenger rail network. The episode closes on a controversial note, with a fictional or out-of-context statement expressing disdain for puppies, among other things.
