05/30/25: Joel Heitkamp is joined by Jeff Lassle from South Dakota for a conversation on President Trump's tariffs. A federal court ruled in favor of a permanent injunction that would block the global tariffs President Trump announced on “Liberation Day,” citing emergency economic powers. The ruling will also prevent Trump from enforcing the tariffs he placed on imports from Canada, China and Mexico earlier this year. 

Jeff is the President and Chief Executive Officer of NexEra Materials Group, LLC based out of South Dakota. NexEra, the manufacturer of Cem-Rock planned to break ground on two new manufacturing facilities—one in Rapid City, SD, and another in Waycross, GA, but he's changed his mind on it.
