RANCHERS’ RIGHTS, GOVERNMENT LAWSUITS & REAL HEALTH: OPEN RANGE EXPOSED

In this powerful episode of Open Range, Gary Emineth dives into a high-stakes battle over government power, rancher independence, and personal responsibility. Gary sits down with attorney Robby Dube from Eckland and Blando, a legal team known for taking the government head-on. Dube walks through his role fighting the controversial Fufeng project, where he represented citizens who pushed back against the plant. Now, he’s taking on the Ranchers Rights Initiative, suing both the governor and the North Dakota Beef Commission.
Dube argues the current structure of the beef commission is unconstitutional, pointing out that the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association holds powerful, protected seats. Independent ranchers—who aren’t members—believe it’s unfair to pay into a system where an outside group holds outsized control. The lawsuit aims to restore fairness and give all ranchers a real voice in decisions that affect their livelihoods.
To close the show, Dr. Jake Schmitz delivers a hard-hitting reminder about health: before turning to supplements, start with the basics. Eat real food, fuel your body with true nutrients, and commit to diet and exercise. Supplements are just that—supplemental—and the big wins come from doing the core work first.
This episode is bold, local, and absolutely worth tuning in.
