    Daniel Stenberg & Rebekah Engebretson discuss modern day homesteading

    Modern Homesteading in North Dakota: Growing Roots in Watford City Summary (300 words): In this episode of Open Range, host Gary Emineth explores the growing movement of modern homesteading with two Watford City residents who've returned to their North Dakota roots. Daniel Stenberg and Rebecca Engbretson share their journeys from urban life back to rural living, where they're raising families with intention and connection to the land. Daniel, who worked at the Federal Reserve and Midwestern Governor's Association in Washington DC, returned to live just two miles from where he grew up. Now working for the local soil conservation district, he shares a milk cow with his brother and raises chickens while teaching his young children about food production. Rebecca, a mother of four daughters and dedicated homeschooler, moved from North Idaho back to North Dakota in 2003. She's built a thriving homestead on 20 acres north of Watford City, focusing on large-scale gardening, food preservation through canning and freeze-drying, and raising her children with a strong work ethic. Both guests emphasize that modern homesteading isn't about complete self-sufficiency—it's about intentional living and reconnecting with food sources. They discuss the challenges of gardening in North Dakota's harsh climate, dealing with grasshoppers and drought, building soil health through composting, and preserving harvests for year-round eating. Rebecca stresses growing what thrives locally and what your family actually eats, while Daniel highlights the importance of soil testing and using native plants like honeyberries and chokecherries. The conversation culminates with details about the Prairie Roots Homestead Summit, scheduled for May 15-16 in Watford City. This conference will feature keynote speakers Justin Rhodes and Tim and Sophia Ang, along with practical workshops on beekeeping, cheese making, butchering, soil health, and more—all taught by North Dakotans who understand the unique challenges of homesteading in the northern plains. #ModernHomesteading #NorthDakotaLiving #gardening #northdakota  #IntentionalLiving #GrowYourOwnFood #PrairieRootsHomestead

    Rep Jeff Hoverson and Rep Vicky SteinerUnderstanding North Dakota's Budget: Budget Bills vs Policy Bills Explained

    Join Jeff Hoverson and Representative Vicky Steiner for an essential breakdown of how North Dakota's legislature really works. This conversation cuts through the confusion that often surrounds legislative voting, especially during election season when campaign mailers can be misleading. Learn the critical difference between budget bills and policy bills—and why it matters. When a legislator votes "no" on a budget bill, they're not trying to defund education or healthcare. Budget bills simply return to committee for revision, allowing legislators to remove wasteful spending or questionable projects. Policy bills, however, die with a majority "no" vote. Discover how North Dakota manages its finances through three main funding sources: the General Fund, federal dollars, and the Strategic Infrastructure Investment Fund (SIF). Representative Steiner provides insider perspective on the Legacy Fund—now worth $9.6 billion—and explains how it's transformed from oil revenue into diversified Wall Street investments that benefit future generations. The discussion tackles important questions about government's role: Should the state operate like a business? What are the pros and cons of business leaders in politics? When should government invest in special projects versus leaving it to the free market? You'll also get insights into North Dakota's prison system challenges, regional jail initiatives, and the delicate balance between rehabilitation and public safety. Representative Steiner shares her perspective on mandatory minimum sentences for serious crimes like human trafficking while addressing the practical challenges of overcrowded facilities. Whether you're a North Dakota voter trying to decode campaign literature or simply interested in how state government manages billions in taxpayer dollars, this conversation provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions.#NorthDakotaPolitics #StateBudget #LegislativeProcess  #VoterEducation #FiscalPolicy #NorthDakotaLegislature

    Perry Schmacher & Leon FrancisOpen Range: The MAGA Midterm Crisis - Why Independents Are Abandoning Trump and What It Means for 2026

    In this compelling episode of Open Range, host Perry sits down with veteran political commentator Leon Francis for a hard-hitting discussion about the existential crisis facing the MAGA movement heading into the 2026 midterm elections. With Trump's approval among independents plummeting to just 20%, the conversation explores a troubling phenomenon: voters who enthusiastically supported Trump in presidential elections but stay home during midterms, effectively sabotaging the very policies they voted for. Leon and Perry dissect the psychology behind this self-defeating behavior, examining how mainstream media manipulation, short-term thinking, and cognitive dissonance create "rational actors operating in a flawed system." They tackle controversial topics head-on, including Trump's handling of the Epstein files, the Pam Bondi DOJ debacle, and the growing credibility gap that's costing the movement crucial independent support. The discussion takes a sobering turn as they analyze the deep state's stranglehold on Washington, symbolized by FBI Deputy Director Bonino's sudden resignation without delivering promised accountability. Using the metaphor of Hotel California—"you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"—they explore whether reform is even possible within such a corrupted system. The hosts deliver passionate calls to action, warning that apathy and protest votes will hand power back to what they call "Democrat Socialists" who now openly embrace that label. They argue this isn't about perfection—it's about survival. With references to Jesse Kelly's perspective that "Trump is the beginning, not the end," they make the case for stacking wins through consistent midterm voting, even when the GOP establishment disappoints.  Conclusion: weak men who refuse to defend what's good will destroy civilization faster than wicked men ever could. The 2026 midterms aren't just another election—they're a referendum on whether the MAGA movement can sustain momentum or will fumble at the 50-yard line. #MAGA #2026Midterms #TrumpPolitics #DeepState #ConservativeMedia #PoliticalCommentary

    Rep Jeff Hoverson and Sen Jeff MagrumNorth Dakota Politics:Convention Strategy & Governor Overreach

    Join GOP Rep Jeff Hoverson and GOP Sen Jeff Magrum for an in-depth discussion on North Dakota's political landscape as they break down the critical differences between platform conservatives and establishment Republicans in the state legislature. This 44-minute conversation reveals why the Senate has become the conservative chamber and highlights key legislators like Chuck Whalen, Keith Bam, Bob Paulson, and Jose Costa who are standing firm on conservative principles. The hosts explain essential election processes that every North Dakota voter needs to understand, including the crucial distinction between delegate conventions and endorsing conventions. With 23 districts up for election this year representing 69 Republican legislative candidates, understanding these processes is vital for informed participation. They emphasize why the June 9th primary election is where the real action happens and how crossover voting impacts conservative candidates. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on gubernatorial overreach, examining Article 5, Section 10 of the North Dakota Constitution and how the current administration may be violating constitutional boundaries by recruiting and funding candidates to challenge sitting conservative legislators. The hosts argue this undermines the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches. The conversation also covers the Legislative Audit and Fiscal Review Committee (LAFRC) and its upcoming March 24th hearing on school meal programs, addressing claims about "starving kids" and examining the proposed universal free lunch measure. They reveal that families of four earning up to $84,000 already qualify for free and reduced meals, questioning the necessity of expanding the program. Hoverson and Magrum emphasize the importance of state-level political engagement, arguing that regardless of federal politics, North Dakota's future depends on electing platform conservatives who will protect freedom, parental rights, and fiscal responsibility. #NorthDakotaPolitics #ConservativeLegislators #RepublicanPrimaryElections #LegislativeAudit #SchoolLunchPrograms #ConstitutionalSeparationPowers #GrassrootsActivism

    Dustin Gawrylow Watchdog Network discusses Initiated Measures

    In this episode of Open Range, host Gary Emineth sits down with Dustin Gawrylow, Managing Director of the Watchdog Network, for an in-depth discussion about the ongoing legislative assault on citizen-initiated measures in North Dakota. The conversation explores the rich history of ballot initiatives in the state, dating back to 1918 when the Nonpartisan League transformed the political landscape, and examines how this constitutional right is now under threat. Gawrylow provides critical analysis of two key measures facing North Dakota voters: Measure One in the June 2026 primary, which would impose a vaguely-defined "single subject rule" on initiated measures, and Measure Two in November, which would raise the threshold for passing constitutional amendments from 50% to 60%. Both measures represent what Gawrylow characterizes as the legislature's systematic attempt to erode powers explicitly reserved to the people in Article Three of the North Dakota Constitution. The discussion delves into the troubling pattern of legislative overreach, highlighting how Republican supermajority lawmakers have repeatedly attempted to restrict citizen participation despite voters consistently rejecting these limitations. Gawrylow explains how the proposed single subject rule would grant unprecedented, undefined power to the Secretary of State to unilaterally determine what constitutes a "single subject," potentially blocking legitimate citizen initiatives based on subjective interpretation. The conversation also covers the contentious term limits debate, property tax elimination efforts, and the fundamental question of whether elected officials trust the same voters who put them in office. Emineth and Gawrylow make a compelling case that these legislative maneuvers represent not just policy disagreements, but a fundamental challenge to constitutional governance and the balance of power between citizens and their representatives. This episode is essential viewing for anyone concerned about preserving democratic participation and constitutional rights in North Dakota. #NorthDakotaPolitics #InitiatedMeasures #ConstitutionalRights #TermLimits #VoterRights #northdakota
