On today's show...
Before she heads to Washington for Senate confirmation hearings, Gov. Kristi Noem gave the State of the State address.
Lee Strubinger is SDPB's politics and public policy reporter. He spoke with legislators on the floor to get their reaction to the speech (1:00 to 11:33).

We then have two sets of Dakota Political Junkies joining us to analyze the address.
Jon Hunter is publisher emeritus of the Madison Daily Leader, and Michael Card, Ph.D., is professor emeritus of political science at the University of South Dakota.
They discuss what the speech should — and could — have been (11:33 to 31:02).
Plus, Linda Duba was a former Democratic representative in the South Dakota House. And Jean Hunhoff is a former Republican senator in the state Legislature.
They take a closer look at South Dakota women in leadership and ask for data for Noem's sixth reason why the state is an example to the nation (31:02 to 48:57).
