01/19/26: Joel Heitkamp is joined on "News and Views" by former United States Senator, Kent Conrad, to remember their friend, Byron Knutson, who passed away December 6. Joel also gets Senator Conrad's take on the current political climate around Greenland and the United States.

Byron Knutson, who joined Martin Luther King Jr., in the 1965 voting rights march from Selma to
Montgomery, Ala., passed away December 6 in Bismarck at 96, surrounded by family. North Dakota voters elected Knutson to serve as legislator, insurance commissioner, and labor commissioner. He served in the Korean War as a Marine in the 1950s.
