Guest host Andrew Sletten takes the helm of the Fargo studio to anchor a high-energy Monday edition coming off an extravagant 4th of July weekend celebrating America's 250th birthday . Sletten reflects on President Trump’s historic visit to Medora for the grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and unpacks a massive victory for voter intent after the North Dakota Supreme Court struck down a legislative challenge to state term limits .
