Debate Over ICE Protests, Energy Outlook, and A Winter Weather Blast
After the weather update, Scott dives into a high-stakes conversation with listeners about the explosive anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. Callers push back on the chaos and debate whether President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act to restore order, what ICE should do to enforce federal law, and how far protests can go before becoming a threat to public safety.
Later, Ron Ness — President of the North Dakota Petroleum Council — joins to deliver critical insight about the state of American energy. Ness explains that 2025 was a year where supply continued to overpower demand, keeping oil prices in check while Bakken production stayed strong and steady. He also outlines what the industry expects in 2026, emphasizing stability, cautious growth, and the continued strategic importance of domestic drilling in North Dakota’s Bakken region.
It’s a fast, informative hour that blends breaking weather, serious political questions, and the future of America’s energy security — the kind of real talk that makes people want to watch and stay informed on BEK TV.
