In this jam-packed episode of What's On Your Mind, Scott and Kevin dig deep into the intensifying leadership crisis in Fargo, explore fiery political standoffs in Texas, debate sugar in SNAP benefits (yes, really), and bring on big voices—from city commissioners to festival organizers.
From lightning storms rattling dogs to a thunderclap of criticism aimed at Fargo’s police chief, the episode dives headfirst into local and national headlines, with no punches pulled.
Plus: the WeFest preview, Elizabeth Warren’s grocery store socialism, and a whole lot of commentary on government spending, property taxes, and legacy funds—served with a hearty helping of Petro Serve USA’s Swedish meatballs.
