Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 52 ratings
  • Great Civil Discourse

    Entertaining and informative political podcast to keep South Dakotans up to date on local politics.

    Obviously right leaning, but also gives ample opportunity for opposing viewpoints to come and defend and state their opinions and cases.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hippos, Hot Dogs and the Runoff
Q: What is the main priority going into the next legislative session?
The main priority remains the budget, with ongoing work to deliver and passage by year-end, alongside expectations for a balanced legislature and continued focus on tax relief and economic diversification.
Young People Problems
Q: What's the argument for tax incentives?
Incentives are argued as tools to attract development that would bring broad community benefits, not pure subsidies; they are framed as promoting growth while trying to avoid welfare for the rich.
Young People Problems
Q: How do data centers differ from each other in terms of job creation?
Blockchain centers are highly automated and require few workers, while traditional and AI factory centers create many local jobs, including security, maintenance, and technicians.
One Big Beautiful Episode
Q: What parts of the bill were criticized or debated by the guest, Pete Sepp?
Sepp noted that while many provisions are permanent, other elements like the state and local tax deduction were capped and debated; he suggested the overall package could have been crafted with different thresholds to balance revenue impacts, and he highlighted concerns about spending increases.
One Big Beautiful Episode
Q: What are the tax implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill for the average South Dakotan?
The bill is designed to avoid tax increases for the average South Dakotan by preserving and expanding tax provisions, including permanent expensing for investments, permanent child tax credits, and broader business tax relief, which together reduce overall tax burden for many filers and likely boost economic activity.
