    Will Gardner Real Estate Appraisers & More - Jake Schmitz Healthy Living

    Real Estate: Appraisals Deep Dive (Will Gardner, Century 21 Morrison Realty) Will Gardner walks through everything homebuyers and sellers need to know about the appraisal process. He traces how the 2008 mortgage crisis led to the Dodd-Frank Act, which overhauled how appraisers are selected — moving from hand-picked relationships to randomized lender panels. Will explains the real-world frustrations this creates: communication restrictions between lenders and appraisers, a shortage of qualified appraisers, and the inherent incentive appraisers have to undervalue rather than overvalue properties. He also breaks down the differences between city assessed values, AI estimates (like Zillow's Zestimates), comparative market analyses done by realtors, and formal appraisals — helping viewers understand when to use each. A key takeaway: a good realtor can advocate for your home's value in ways a neutral appraiser cannot, and can help challenge inflated tax assessments or navigate a low appraisal to protect a deal. Precious Metals: Portfolio Strategy (Micah) Micah outlines a two-bucket approach to investing in gold and silver. Larger bullion bars (kilo bars, 100-oz silver) are ideal for long-term retirement accounts where cost-per-ounce matters most. Smaller coins serve as a liquid, at-home insurance policy for emergency or barter scenarios. The goal is balancing price efficiency with practical accessibility. Freedom Health Talk: Genetic Nutrition (Dr. Jake Schmitz) Dr. Schmitz challenges one-size-fits-all fad diets — keto, carnivore, Atkins — by arguing that optimal nutrition is rooted in your ancestry. He proposes that understanding what your genetic predecessors ate over centuries is a better guide than trending diets. His practical advice: use tools like Ancestry.com, consult AI for historical dietary patterns, try eating ancestrally, and pay close attention to how your body responds. He defaults to the Mediterranean diet as the most broadly researched starting point.

    Perry Schmacher and Brandon Prichard North Dakota Citizens Alliance talk Primary North Dakota

    North Dakota's political landscape is heating up ahead of the June 9th primary, and host Perry Schumacher isn't holding back. In this episode, Perry is joined by Brandon Pritchard, State Director of Citizens Alliance of North Dakota, for a wide-ranging conversation on conservative politics, the battle within the Republican Party, and the state of American culture. Perry opens with a pointed "Perry's Perspective," arguing that Governor Kelly Armstrong represents a new brand of "conservative grifter" — politicians who wear the conservative label at election time but govern against conservative principles. He calls out Armstrong's backing of Senator Judy Lee and Michelle Axman, both of whom he considers far from conservative, as proof of the pattern. Brandon, a former Armstrong campaign staffer, agrees — and says he wishes North Dakota had made a different choice in the 2024 gubernatorial primary. He details Citizens Alliance's massive ground game: over 32,000 doors knocked so far, with a goal of 70,000 by June 9th and 100,000 by November — potentially the largest grassroots door-knocking operation in North Dakota history. The conversation also takes a cultural turn, examining the dramatic decline in marriage rates among young Americans. Perry and Brandon explore how diverging political and religious worldviews between men and women, the rise of social media tribalism, and the collapse of shared cultural touchstones are all contributing factors. The episode wraps with a discussion on government fraud, the role of independent journalism in exposing waste, and whether AI might one day help root out corruption that career bureaucrats and legacy media have failed to address. #CitizensAlliance #Northdakota #GOP #Conservative #brandonPrichard

    Patrick Hart Episode # 3 with Mike Thiesen & Natalie Mclaughlin DEMNPL Minot

    What happens when the good people don't show up — and the wrong people do? That's the question host Patrick Hart puts front and center in this episode of Open Range, a show bringing grounded, working-class perspectives to North Dakota politics. Patrick sits down with two Democratic candidates running for the State House and Senate in District 3 (Minot Rural East): Natalie McLaughlin and Mike Thiesen. Both are everyday North Dakotans — a longtime paramedic and a small-town mayor turned electrician — who decided complaining wasn't enough. It was time to show up. The conversation covers the issues hitting North Dakotans hardest right now: 🏠 Attainable Housing — Not affordable housing, attainable housing. Mike breaks down why starter homes have disappeared and how a patchwork of local, state, and federal programs — plus high school construction programs — could bring prices back to earth. 🚑 Rural Healthcare & EMS — Natalie draws on 15 years as a paramedic to paint a stark picture of ambulance deserts, closing critical access hospitals, and insurance companies blocking medically necessary care. The fix isn't throwing more money at a broken system — it's training people and holding the right players accountable. 🌾 Keeping Small Towns Alive — From trade workforce pipelines to local control over land use, both candidates push back against corporate-first politics and champion the people actually doing the work. Their message? Stop fighting each other. Talk to everyone — even those on the other side. Because the problems facing North Dakota don't care about party affiliation, and neither do the solutions. "We're not here for special interests. We're here for our neighbors." Tune in to Open Range — real people, real issues, North Dakota strong.

    Lori Hinz Shares Dunseith Declassified background and new show Injustice insights

    Host Gary Emineth sits down with investigative journalist Lori Hinz of BEKTV to unpack one of North Dakota's most gripping stories: a Christmas Eve murder in Minot, a survivor who played dead to stay alive, and a media organization now fighting to protect its First Amendment rights. It started with Dunseith Declassified — a series uncovering a web of corruption tied to a small border town, a building full of secrets, and an HSI agent named Daniel Breho, accused of murdering fellow law enforcement officer Nick Van Pelt on Christmas Eve 2023. The sole eyewitness, Jenny Babcock, was shot four times, watched her boyfriend killed in front of her, and survived by playing dead. Now, the story has a new chapter — Injustice. BEKTV was subpoenaed by the prosecuting attorney for unaired interview footage of Jenny Babcock, raising serious First Amendment concerns. The North Dakota Supreme Court recently weighed in, and while the ruling was complex, the bottom line is this: the district court must take a second look before any footage is disclosed — a critical win for press freedom. Lori and Gary break down what the ruling really means, why it matters beyond North Dakota, and how the chilling effect of forcing news organizations to hand over confidential source material could threaten journalism everywhere. Daniel Breho remains in jail awaiting trial, now scheduled for October. Watch Injustice and Dunseith Declassified at BEKTV.Plus — episodes are 15 minutes each, easy to digest, and impossible to stop watching. #Injustice #DunseithDeclassified #BeckTV #NorthDakota #FirstAmendment #PressFreedom #TrueStory #Investigative

    Pat Hart Episode # 1 Open Range Jamie Selzer and Trygve Hammer Dem Candidate Congress

    In this episode of Open Range, host Gary Emineth introduces a new recurring Democratic segment hosted by Patrick Hart. Hart is joined by Trygve Hammer — the 2026 Democratic US House candidate and Navy/Marine Corps veteran — and Jamie Selzler, DNC National Committeeman for North Dakota and former Amazon executive. The conversation opens with why Democrats are taking their message directly to Republican audiences, arguing that the party has long failed to communicate on core kitchen-table issues like wages, healthcare, and the cost of living. Both Hammer and Selzler share personal journeys that led them to the Democratic Party, centered on standing up for working people and holding powerful interests accountable. The group tackles North Dakota's Republican supermajority, pointing out that despite total GOP control, budgets keep growing and constituents feel ignored. They criticize the state's congressional delegation — particularly Julie Fedorchak — for avoiding town halls, skipping debates, and rubber-stamping leadership decisions without accountability. A significant portion focuses on the rapid expansion of data centers in North Dakota, raising concerns about corporate welfare, lack of community input, energy costs, land rights, and the limited long-term jobs these facilities actually create. The panel draws parallels to eminent domain abuses and the Summit carbon pipeline controversy. The episode wraps up discussing school lunch legislation, affordability, AI's impact on labor, and the growing bipartisan frustration with politicians who feel entitled to their seats. Hammer emphasizes engaging Republicans directly on shared values, while Selzler urges voters to evaluate candidates on their actual positions rather than party labels. #NorthDakota #TrygveHammer #NDDemocrats #VoiceOfThePeople #NorthDakota
