New State Park in Pembina Gorge, Future Tech Mower & Legislation Debate

Pembina Gorge State Park, located near Walhalla in the northeastern corner of North Dakota, is now the 14th official state park. It covers 2,800 acres of stunning public land in the beautiful Pembina River Gorge, offering more opportunities for outdoor recreation, family adventures, and appreciation of North Dakota’s natural beauty. Cody also highlights other hidden gems and ongoing efforts to keep these spaces open, clean, and accessible for all who value faith, family, and freedom in the great outdoors.

Also on the show, we hear from Marlo Anderson, who introduces us to a cutting-edge piece of technology—a self-mowing lawn mower from a company called Mammotion. This impressive innovation is like something out of the future, designed to save time and labor while keeping yards in top shape.

Wrapping things up, Dr. Jake Schmitz joins us to talk about a controversial piece of proposed legislation—House Bill 1391. The bill looks to create a new status related to human rights and anti-discrimination policies, and Dr. Schmitz shares his strong concerns about what this could mean for our state, our values, and the future direction of policy. He explains how vague language in the bill could lead to dangerous consequences and undermine the principles many North Dakotans hold dear.

It’s a packed episode full of updates, innovation, and important conversation you won’t want to miss.
