Speaker 1: M h flute force. If it doesn't work, you're just
Speaker 1: not using enough. You're listening to software, radio, Special operations,
Speaker 1: military nails and straight talk with the guys in the community.
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to stop for radio. I'm litor in Chief
Speaker 1: Sean Spens and gentlemen sitting to my right. For most
Speaker 1: of you will need no introduction whatsoever. Of course, we're
Speaker 1: joining about Ryan Zicky. Ryan Hales from Husman, Montana, joined
Speaker 1: the United States Navies Asterday night gener the SIPs we're
Speaker 1: giving me the seal. I'm at a long pre Navey Seals,
Speaker 1: the bachelor's degree in geology as I understanding, and from
Speaker 1: University of Oregon, two master's degrees, one in global management
Speaker 1: and the other in business and ministraction. And from until
Speaker 1: it looks like two thousand and eight, retired as commander
Speaker 1: in the Navy Seals. You were in a command position
Speaker 1: that Sealt one, and also in a command position at
Speaker 1: Steen six. You were at a certain Naval Special Worker
Speaker 1: Unit number two. I GUESSID Brandon Webb was there there,
Speaker 1: and you at one point where the acting command for
Speaker 1: Special Operations Forces in Iraq as well put them off
Speaker 1: a lot on your shoulders. Ryan ran for office. I
Speaker 1: was a state senator in Montana, where you two chins
Speaker 1: in Union, did a term for your terrible years, and
Speaker 1: then ran for Congress. Won two elections to Congress. We
Speaker 1: started with twenty four teams and the first and then
Speaker 1: two years as the Secretary of the Interior, I did
Speaker 1: a command to a secretary and cheery. It's been all
Speaker 1: over the place. It takes your five minutes to tell
Speaker 1: everybody what you've done, just in a lot twenty five
Speaker 1: years ago. Live. So now you're running again in Montana's
Speaker 1: first congression. There's like now Montense populations picking up to
Speaker 1: win now they actually have congression districts are supposed to
Speaker 1: have a second sea. Yeah, congratulations, And that election happens
Speaker 1: in November. You stand a pretty good chance, you know.
Speaker 1: And in the last election, Montana broke for President Trump
Speaker 1: at like sixteen plus points. I think it's born in
Speaker 1: and you swept down the puth Republicans Annilia of the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party in that state. So it looks like you're
Speaker 1: gonna have a pretty pretty clear road to go. Well
Speaker 1: in the new districts, Montana was divided east and west.
Speaker 1: The western district I would categorize as competitive. Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers, I won that district. President Trump
Speaker 1: barely won the district. But Tester Senator Tester also in
Speaker 1: the district. So I would say it's mixed. A good,
Speaker 1: good candidate, a good message, you can win. But it
Speaker 1: is a bubble. I mean, I mean it can go
Speaker 1: either way. In this election. Their tends to be I
Speaker 1: think people call it a red wave. I would caution
Speaker 1: people to say it's in the bag. I think he
Speaker 1: had to earn every yard in politics. In politics is
Speaker 1: pretty thickle, can change really quick. And you have an
Speaker 1: unusual electorate in Montana. When I look at the voting roles,
Speaker 1: I see publicans. Obviously, I bring Democrats, and then you
Speaker 1: have a population of independence. But then you have a
Speaker 1: most equally sized number of people that ptify as mother
Speaker 1: about that. Democrats they're not independence. There are others and
Speaker 1: what's the other. Well in Montana, I would categorize Montana
Speaker 1: as a little libertarian. I'm not liberal, but we just
Speaker 1: don't like to be told what to do. Right. There's
Speaker 1: a very patriotic you know, some of the strongholds of
Speaker 1: traditional Democrats Bete Montana as well beaute is the home
Speaker 1: of Miners Union number one. But also when the national
Speaker 1: anthem plays, mute stands. So they are what I would
Speaker 1: consider a Reagan Democrat, very patriotic. They're not a woke Democrats.
Speaker 1: I don't like the wolf movement anymore. And the rest
Speaker 1: of us, the Montana is very patriotic and a hind
Speaker 1: number of military. We have the Great Tribes, all the
Speaker 1: plans the warrior tribes in Montana had a population just
Speaker 1: over a million, would be interesting, I think to our
Speaker 1: own Since Montana is like sort of the frontier country
Speaker 1: of the United States Ville, what are the issues that
Speaker 1: mattered the most to Montala. You're a big state for agriculture,
Speaker 1: for four stream number mining and energy production. So you
Speaker 1: guys are the resources. Over the period it has taken
Speaker 1: some strain. We should be logging more than we are,
Speaker 1: especially the scale of fires. Montana tourism has expanded, you know,
Speaker 1: you can see that the branding of Montana with the
Speaker 1: yellows though. But I think the issue is inflation is
Speaker 1: a big issue, and the distances between towns or or
Speaker 1: along when gas prices go up, it challenges Montana as
Speaker 1: far as the wage pretty low, so when you have
Speaker 1: inflation that's what it is when groceries that takes a
Speaker 1: lot of disupposable income, you know, out, especially for those
Speaker 1: that probably are vulnerable. It seems to be the strain.
Speaker 1: It is more on the population that probably needs help
Speaker 1: with lost How do montament or the gas electric a
Speaker 1: little mixed natural gas electric a lot choose to heat
Speaker 1: their home by firewood? Yeah? What do you guys have?
Speaker 1: Some of the highest energy bills coming from utility come
Speaker 1: just because the winner so long, because some of the
Speaker 1: highest winners are elevated, and this winner is gonna be
Speaker 1: a challenge because gas prices are so much higher. And
Speaker 1: then what happens is sometimes the government will step in
Speaker 1: and will subsidize those families that can't afford to heat,
Speaker 1: you know. And what that does is takes tax dollars
Speaker 1: rather going to something else. It's subsidizes. At the core
Speaker 1: of it, the subjects wouldn't be required if the policy
Speaker 1: is the US on energy were correct. You want to
Speaker 1: go back during the Trump administration mode Secretary of Interior,
Speaker 1: I mean, gas was considerably lower, and that gas considerably lower,
Speaker 1: inflation was with no one even talked about inflation, right,
Speaker 1: and then Montana, like many states, has a challenge with
Speaker 1: the workforce, who can't find enough people who work. Some
Speaker 1: of it has been you can't to deciety to be
Speaker 1: word people not to work. Anything. That pipeline affected you
Speaker 1: guys that are toothing that, well, it's it's certainly affected
Speaker 1: the country Montana a little would have been nice to
Speaker 1: have an on ramp. And look, moving fuels is so
Speaker 1: much safer through a pipeline. And unfortunately the Keystone became
Speaker 1: kind of a flagship for the environmental attacks there are
Speaker 1: between Canada and the United States. There are dozens of
Speaker 1: pipelines and there's actually a keystone of what the issue was,
Speaker 1: Keystone Excel, but became a poster child for attacks. And
Speaker 1: it's too bad because again, moving fuels through pipelines is
Speaker 1: far more safe. So and you're in a g INDEPENDI
Speaker 1: scot you look to see the United States returned to
Speaker 1: being an energy producing energy surplus country is opposed to woman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's three reasons why energy is so important. Number
Speaker 1: one environmentally, I canna tell you it is better, but
Speaker 1: its energy in this country under our regulation. Then watch
Speaker 1: you get produced overseas with no regulation. Pl blade me,
Speaker 1: I'll taking out tour or Saudi Arabia or Africa, how
Speaker 1: they produce Oh no, I believe you've seen pictures of
Speaker 1: the minds in China, whether people uh rare earth minerals
Speaker 1: to make solar pedals within it. You know, it looks
Speaker 1: like a meteor as long as you ignore it, you
Speaker 1: know you don't think about it, but but you should
Speaker 1: take it in consideration. And secondly, you know I spent
Speaker 1: most of my career fighting overseas, you know, for other
Speaker 1: people's energy. And I can tell you I don't want
Speaker 1: your children, my grandchildren ever to see what I've seen.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be held hostage by a
Speaker 1: foreign entity on our energy needs. And lastly, you know,
Speaker 1: jobs in manufacturing matter. Sure what happened in COVID and
Speaker 1: supply chain. We find ourselves vulnerable because we weren't producing
Speaker 1: medical equipment. We weren't producing a lot of the parts
Speaker 1: and components to make our economy run in in order
Speaker 1: to manufacture. You know, the cost to steal is the
Speaker 1: same in South Korea as it is in Pittsburgh. We
Speaker 1: can't pay the same wages China India can. On the
Speaker 1: advantage side is innovation in the US as long as
Speaker 1: the regulatory environment allows for innovation and lastly as energy costs.
Speaker 1: When energy costs are low, we could compete globally by
Speaker 1: manufacturing and then we're not held hostage on the supply
Speaker 1: chain nor energy. So I'm a huge proponent of energy dominance.
Speaker 1: I mean that we should never be in a position
Speaker 1: where we're held hostage for energy. And again we do
Speaker 1: it cleaner, better, and we will continue to advance technology,
Speaker 1: invest in cleaner fuels, and invest in technology. It's really
Speaker 1: just a connection unit between low energy prices, effect and
Speaker 1: positively U sx mons. But the customer goods are less
Speaker 1: of energy, places for production to transpretation of law and
Speaker 1: right well and big push for annewables. But all energy
Speaker 1: has a cost in terms of impact. You look at
Speaker 1: winds chops up a lot of birds and also you
Speaker 1: know wind itself, but when you replace the blades, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of components. Mining solar is interesting. I've always
Speaker 1: had the best place for solo sols on the roof
Speaker 1: of the house because it's already foul ground. But the
Speaker 1: Biden administration is talking. You know, these huge solar farms
Speaker 1: of five D plus square miles on public land, and
Speaker 1: when you do that what happens is that land then
Speaker 1: becomes single use. You're not gonna have it for recreation,
Speaker 1: there's not gonna have any habitat. So both wildlife, habitat
Speaker 1: recreation access all come to a screeching halt when it
Speaker 1: becomes a solar field. And is that really the best use?
Speaker 1: Is that really the best use when there's other alternatives
Speaker 1: for a clean fuel? Again, you know, you look at
Speaker 1: when you fly over lost vegs. You are the shot
Speaker 1: you and the expanse of the homes. Someday someone's gonna
Speaker 1: figure out that the square footage availability on the rooftops
Speaker 1: or gets significantly And if you can combine it and
Speaker 1: you collect it and put it in a system, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a much better path than chewing up
Speaker 1: public land where no longer it is accessible or you
Speaker 1: can use it well. When you build these gigantic solar
Speaker 1: panel farms, so to speak, you have any loss and
Speaker 1: you promis standing that energy to the end user. Whereas
Speaker 1: if if you've got maybe comes from the solar panel
Speaker 1: to the end user in an industrial residential nation, but
Speaker 1: if it's run on top of your house's virtually all yeah,
Speaker 1: and none of it's wasted. It all comes right down
Speaker 1: from your roof and goes into your own boundaries and
Speaker 1: that ground is again fouled. And you know, we're looking
Speaker 1: at sola cells that match tiles. If we're you know,
Speaker 1: good vision field. Did you have a tipping to blink? Though?
Speaker 1: With solar panels, I mean they usually wear earth metals,
Speaker 1: which means they're rare. And if you're by China and
Speaker 1: from China, so you're really hating them. Kind of a
Speaker 1: strategic commodity, almost like oil with the sunies to to
Speaker 1: put it on our network hanging. And it goes back
Speaker 1: to every energy source has a component of impact. Nuclear
Speaker 1: it tends to be the cleanest at zero. But you
Speaker 1: know the last administration that we spent billions of dollars
Speaker 1: putting a national repository for a nuclear fuel, and then
Speaker 1: at the last minute, when it's built and all gone,
Speaker 1: the government turned to say no, Well, I think I
Speaker 1: understand the French, for example, upper nucle directors all over
Speaker 1: their countries, they handle their nuclear waste fuel differently than
Speaker 1: we did. We take the uranium with the joining it
Speaker 1: all that treated as one mask. They just separate out
Speaker 1: the pretonium and the higher is a tube stuff and
Speaker 1: apparently all the waste from the nuclear program could fit
Speaker 1: in about a ten thousand of scols were build it.
Speaker 1: That can put it all in one place where we're
Speaker 1: we're putting uranium in there too. It's to me seems
Speaker 1: like that's crazy because it's in everything. Well, I think
Speaker 1: this person, Yeah, I think we can learn. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: technology is advancing in the nuclear field too. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: luclear reactors are much smaller, but with the right regulatory environment,
Speaker 1: right safety. I'm a large, huge component of nuclear and
Speaker 1: the rights natural gas, clean burning. Yes. Um, I also
Speaker 1: got to talk about a grid and vulnerability. When you
Speaker 1: move to a system of solar cells, you know your
Speaker 1: baseload goes up and down. So the energy component, I
Speaker 1: think that the Trump administration the American first policy and
Speaker 1: energy that was the correct policy of this country. Now
Speaker 1: you men were suffering from a deviation of that today.
Speaker 1: I think you're running because under the Trumper's administration's positively
Speaker 1: also saw the way that affected the economy, that the
Speaker 1: economy vastly increased in terms of expansion its eye and
Speaker 1: we wrought down this go too and emissions because the
Speaker 1: US does it better than anyone else the most efficient
Speaker 1: lookers on the planet. Cleaner fuels or refineries are better
Speaker 1: across the board. And you know that aside, there are
Speaker 1: other issues in the environment that are probably equally importantly.
Speaker 1: You don't hear about plastics, for instance, Like you look
Speaker 1: at China. Nine percent of the plastics that are being
Speaker 1: dumped into the ocean comes from four rivers in China.
Speaker 1: And so those companies that insist on manufacturing in China,
Speaker 1: I think they should look at putting a you know,
Speaker 1: some sort of mechanism where hey, if you plue then
Speaker 1: what about that? What about and you're paying child weightings
Speaker 1: and you're operating in a country with no pollution controls,
Speaker 1: and yet you were doing enorms damage to the world
Speaker 1: and the planet and their oceans as a result of
Speaker 1: your actions and your choices the manufacture. They're under no
Speaker 1: pollution control. Right, we can limitate every plastic bottom the
Speaker 1: whole country and probably have nothing would be effective because
Speaker 1: the most of the pollutions coming from Asia and Africa.
Speaker 1: Of the plastics a big number, that's a lot number,
Speaker 1: that's huge. You know, we need to protect our environment.
Speaker 1: In Montana, forest fires are a big issue because we
Speaker 1: haven't had management practices on much of our public lands,
Speaker 1: limiting public access, shutting down roads, down the opportunity for
Speaker 1: recreation of public lands and public lands belonged to everybody.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, does that resistance to sensible
Speaker 1: land management for wildfire renigation, public use of public lands
Speaker 1: for recreation? Is that something that comes from inside state
Speaker 1: in terms of our positions and externally, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of it is driven from outside the state. Money
Speaker 1: comes in. They have have a movement. These are people
Speaker 1: that generally don't home the land. They don't they the
Speaker 1: best stewards to land, oftentimes are those that land ranch
Speaker 1: and use the land recreation. We're facing the generation that
Speaker 1: doesn't have the connection the public lands because when you
Speaker 1: start shutting down access, uh and and they said, well,
Speaker 1: I ever can walk in? Well, not everyone can walk in.
Speaker 1: You have elderly that that are not quite as young
Speaker 1: or mobile as it used to be. Children, they have children,
Speaker 1: You have disabled and so access and you have weather
Speaker 1: leads and learning learning about the respect of land stewardship
Speaker 1: on forest fires, having prescribed burns late in the season,
Speaker 1: removing the dead and dying trees, and sustainable yields on
Speaker 1: timber and if the tree dies and rots, it releases carbon.
Speaker 1: Do you do use it as a two by four?
Speaker 1: You capture that, So it's gonna be better to capture
Speaker 1: the carbon. You're using two black fours where then find
Speaker 1: it from at elevated prices and being held hostage from
Speaker 1: other sources. And if you're so concerned about their pollution,
Speaker 1: why don't you what you're concerned about the giant clouds
Speaker 1: of er or two and was coming down there. Do
Speaker 1: you think the government owns too much public land that
Speaker 1: they could do a better job if they shrim the
Speaker 1: because you did some of that when you were plan
Speaker 1: better managed we we I'm not a believer in transferring
Speaker 1: or selling public land, so we didn't really transfer out
Speaker 1: of the public to the state. Say, well, it's more
Speaker 1: about management, you know public land, especially Montana. We live
Speaker 1: in a state that offers a legacy primarily from Teddy
Speaker 1: Rose Belt, and public land is cherished because it is
Speaker 1: used for recreation, is used for multiple use. Then Montana
Speaker 1: and the country is better served of having public land.
Speaker 1: Having said that, you also have a responsibility to management,
Speaker 1: and sometimes when you for instance, the monuments, and a
Speaker 1: brief background is the monuments, the authority for a president
Speaker 1: to proclaim a monument comes in an Antiquities Act and
Speaker 1: the three things you haven't some objects to protect has
Speaker 1: to be in federal land and the smallest area compatible
Speaker 1: protect the object. So when we did the monument we view,
Speaker 1: there wasn't one square inch of land that went out
Speaker 1: of public domain. But when you do a monument, you
Speaker 1: manage it affording this proclamation and in some cases like
Speaker 1: Bears Airs, what it did is it took it put
Speaker 1: at risk traditional uses like hunting, fising, cattle, just you know,
Speaker 1: forced production. It took that off the table. And also
Speaker 1: you did it without coordinating to the state, which just
Speaker 1: or and it was done by an executive action in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C older the wishes and desires of the state
Speaker 1: of Utah in the case of the Bears Ears in
Speaker 1: case of Montana. How oftentimes the states and local communities
Speaker 1: they don't even say. And I think this is part
Speaker 1: of why government in d C is not trusted. I mean,
Speaker 1: tell me what agency, division, department has the full trust
Speaker 1: and confidence of the American people. I know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's the U S. Board of Geographic Nues. Well, it
Speaker 1: could be, except they have occasionally in this probably a guy.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that were actually running the whole country.
Speaker 1: We just don't even know it. Even our military check
Speaker 1: hits over Afghanistan and their force did a great job.
Speaker 1: Problem wow, moving those guys out of there. That was
Speaker 1: a logistical miracle. Almost now obviously left the wrong way,
Speaker 1: but well, I thought military commanded a fantastic job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're the military. US super as a nation and
Speaker 1: as a directive, we left US citizens simillion leadership with
Speaker 1: the point where were not only left US citizens, we
Speaker 1: well did the gates shot in Kabul and willingly and
Speaker 1: knowingly left US civilians outside the priver defending from themselves
Speaker 1: against the Taliban that's not in dispute. And then they
Speaker 1: didn't tell us the truth. A bottles everybody's out once.
Speaker 1: And this is a problem, is that no one trusts
Speaker 1: the government because there doesn't seem to be a dialogue
Speaker 1: of truth, but there's just there seems to be a
Speaker 1: propaganda message. You get handled and that are hold yep
Speaker 1: and vaccinations or climate change. If you're not marching in
Speaker 1: line with what is said, then you get harassed. In
Speaker 1: some cases, you lose your livelihood, you lose your job.
Speaker 1: This is a This is a significant issue in our country,
Speaker 1: not guess Montana, because what where we're seeing as a
Speaker 1: coordinated approach between social media, which primarily comes emanates from
Speaker 1: San Francisco, you had a government arm and if you're
Speaker 1: not in line with those two Twitter banned me, well,
Speaker 1: well for something I wrote about Jack Torst, like I'm
Speaker 1: perfectly banned from Twitter that I understand, you know, protecting
Speaker 1: from terrorism, protecting from you shouldn't be able to assemble
Speaker 1: a nuclear warhead from the Internet, and you should not
Speaker 1: use that platform to do harm to the US interests
Speaker 1: and our allies. But also we need to have an
Speaker 1: open and fair discussion of the issues the way that
Speaker 1: both the benefits and the risks, and and they're not
Speaker 1: very good referees of that. They should be standing in
Speaker 1: the middle saying you're not allowed to say that. That's
Speaker 1: really not up to them. And I would imagine you
Speaker 1: on the energy or the information environment we live in today.
Speaker 1: We'll see where the regulatory framework goes. But protection and
Speaker 1: free speech, well, that's that would be in the constitution.
Speaker 1: It's gotta askworth fight. Absolutely well, we should have free speech.
Speaker 1: We had free and open debate and in and Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Second Amendment. Second Amendment protects the first Yeah, we could
Speaker 1: have just about bumped the Germans with all the stuff
Speaker 1: that's here, right, Yeah, because I fought World War two.
Speaker 1: Whatever the that's the heartbeat like that, I would consider Red, White,
Speaker 1: and Blue America. Yeah, it's so casual too. It's really great.
Speaker 1: You've probably been following what's going on with russ in
Speaker 1: the Ukraine. I'm not concerned. We our own position soft everybody.
Speaker 1: It was like doctrine does not say invade the country
Speaker 1: like kreen the dead of winter with three feet snow
Speaker 1: on the ground. It's the way until thought. You gotta
Speaker 1: do with a lot more truths. What's your thing? You
Speaker 1: think Russian? And when it's actually when it's frozen, if
Speaker 1: you have more mobility, really don't think. So what do
Speaker 1: you think, Well, when you're on one stable in ice
Speaker 1: and it's frozen, it's it's it's a lot easier than mud.
Speaker 1: Do you think there might go I'm hoping not about
Speaker 1: the US, particularly the Biden administration isn't sending a clear
Speaker 1: message other than we're going to throw economic sections on you.
Speaker 1: I don't think Russia is gonna go alone. I think Russia.
Speaker 1: You will look at what China is doing with Taiwan.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen during the Olympics. Just
Speaker 1: keep muscling away out. We're out of position in the Pacific.
Speaker 1: As far as the US military goes, China has emerged
Speaker 1: as a juggernaut both economically and military. Russia does not
Speaker 1: have the conventional military strength. But certainly, right most Americans
Speaker 1: don't know who Ukraine is, so I'm not sure there's
Speaker 1: an appetite to goo to to tell military with Russia
Speaker 1: and risk a nuclear conflict over over a country we
Speaker 1: don't know. But this is this is an area where
Speaker 1: our allies we have to work in concert with each other,
Speaker 1: certainly Europe and economically we can limit access or or
Speaker 1: eliminate Russia's access to the international banking system. There's there's
Speaker 1: a lot we can do. But I don't think Russia
Speaker 1: will go alone. As you know, it's my theory, they'll
Speaker 1: go in and coordinate whatever they're gonna do with China.
Speaker 1: What you think China really? Do you think they're acting
Speaker 1: comfort I think that we'll see where China goes in Taiwan.
Speaker 1: You can imagine this scenario wherever that scenario. Yeah, in
Speaker 1: a in a realistic scenario is if China begins to
Speaker 1: move and we'll see how far China will go. Russia
Speaker 1: could move at the same time and see how far
Speaker 1: they go exploited, exploited. And Putin is very formable, crafty,
Speaker 1: and Russia doesn't have the GDP. They know they don't
Speaker 1: have the reserves to do long P long warfare, right,
Speaker 1: but they certainly have enough force to do it new strikes,
Speaker 1: and Pudin tends to you know, I would say Russia
Speaker 1: kind of has probably a pair of fives, but Putin
Speaker 1: plays it as he's got a full house. He's a
Speaker 1: very crafty, very very very very formal. I don't view
Speaker 1: Russia as our enemy. They are an aggressor competitive adversary.
Speaker 1: And China continues to flex their power and territorial aspirations
Speaker 1: as we see, and it us all economic for them.
Speaker 1: It's all about energy, and they want they want what's
Speaker 1: under that water in south time to see whether it's
Speaker 1: gotta so wild. They want to be able to get
Speaker 1: out of because right now they're an all other important
Speaker 1: so they have vulnerabilities on they do and as well,
Speaker 1: and sometimes you know, I was born in nine, and
Speaker 1: China was well cheat tours, et cetera. When I was
Speaker 1: going to Hi. China has evolved in China has been
Speaker 1: a great nation, sure for a long time, for a
Speaker 1: long time, and they rightfully view themselves as a great nation,
Speaker 1: the Middle Kingdom, the senterview, and I think they're their
Speaker 1: political aspirations are global. Yeah, so I think we're seeing
Speaker 1: that being manifested. They want to be their own kind
Speaker 1: of super bar. I used to laugh when people would say, well,
Speaker 1: China is like the second largest comedy. It's been the
Speaker 1: second largest comedy for a very long time. It's had
Speaker 1: a huge country. It's almost always been in second place
Speaker 1: to somebody else. Well, I think the US at the
Speaker 1: moment is perceived as a week are pole, especially after Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: our forced disposition, our unwillingness to fight for what we
Speaker 1: believe in as a country. That kind of miscalculation is
Speaker 1: a very dangerous thing for other countries to engageing. Well.
Speaker 1: And President Trump looked at at NATO. You know, we
Speaker 1: were supplying all the force structure, everything, and and our
Speaker 1: allies basically we're doing nothing and they were using that
Speaker 1: money that they say for creating more social programs right,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, US became the only viable
Speaker 1: defense and in Europe. So in this case, I think
Speaker 1: our allies have to step up because the US under
Speaker 1: the Biden administration perhaps won't, and whether the US would
Speaker 1: go alone would be a very very long shot under
Speaker 1: this administration. But to our new allies, it would just
Speaker 1: say that, you know, guys in the military, that's a
Speaker 1: jobs program for the government too. You're still getting people,
Speaker 1: you're still paying them, They're still actually providing very important
Speaker 1: public service. But I think for the American public, and
Speaker 1: certainly Montans Ukraine is far lower on the priority than
Speaker 1: our southern border. Inflation, the Wolf movement is gutting traditions
Speaker 1: of the United States, our character. Where you see the
Speaker 1: Constitution under drest, both the Second Amendment here as well
Speaker 1: as First Amendment, and of course the vaccination. I think
Speaker 1: it's unconstitutional force in individual. I think it's a choice,
Speaker 1: and an individual should way the benefits and the risks.
Speaker 1: And what seems to be apparent is the government in
Speaker 1: the social media is censoring any risk its course, and
Speaker 1: if you don't march in line, sometimes your your livelihood,
Speaker 1: your jobs, just thinking're gonna get shamed you're gonna be
Speaker 1: attacked as some you're an anti factor, or you don't
Speaker 1: believe in science with nonsense like we need a realistic
Speaker 1: discussion on the benefits and risks of welcome decision and
Speaker 1: concern and accept to that natural immunity is far superior.
Speaker 1: And the studies are exhaustive over a hundred and forty studies.
Speaker 1: If you're naturally immune, there's something in your body that
Speaker 1: provides protection, and that protection is better than a vaccination.
Speaker 1: What do you suppose is the government? And then they
Speaker 1: are reflecting We've been following the Colossians and Navy seals
Speaker 1: are filed over religious objections and taken the vaccine, and
Speaker 1: it's one of the characteristics of the military, refuses to
Speaker 1: recognize natural man prior infections being aquivalent to the vaccine.
Speaker 1: That's mystified to me. Why do you suppose it is.
Speaker 1: Why do you think they just take it off the table? Again,
Speaker 1: it is mystifying. But when you have I think a
Speaker 1: coordinated effort between the government and the social media and
Speaker 1: if you get out of line, they're gonna go after you,
Speaker 1: and that's an infringement of the First Amendment free speech.
Speaker 1: It's also just wrong sure, and so we need to
Speaker 1: have a long discussion. I think what we're gonna see
Speaker 1: is the House will will pivot and it will be
Speaker 1: a Republican leadhouse. Where were they put junk communities? Where
Speaker 1: were community would you like to see as well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny because I maintain my seenority should go back
Speaker 1: to theod And I think the House can do two things.
Speaker 1: One is the House can investigate, and there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a temptation to investigate everything. My counsel is to be
Speaker 1: very judicial in what we investigate. The side absolute abuse
Speaker 1: of power. With the impeachment process, there wasn't high crime,
Speaker 1: so it was just an abuse. So two wrongs don't
Speaker 1: make right. But probably the most important thing the House
Speaker 1: can do is the power to purse. A lot of
Speaker 1: what we see is in law and it's authorized, but
Speaker 1: how the government in the House is supposed to work
Speaker 1: is authorized, doesn't mean it's funded. You got to go
Speaker 1: through a budget process and put money in the account
Speaker 1: to execute that particular rule law. And so the House
Speaker 1: can go back to appropriations and zero out those regulatory
Speaker 1: penalties that we what we see, and administration tries to
Speaker 1: move money around the support it then you can investigate
Speaker 1: and to throw in the jail, but that takes an
Speaker 1: enormous amount of work. And my potential colleagues, we haven't
Speaker 1: done an appropriation process get a long time of years.
Speaker 1: It's like since fighting man, because when you do continuing resolutions,
Speaker 1: these omnibuses, we need to go back to what's called
Speaker 1: regular order. And it's a lot of work. Right if
Speaker 1: this is four letter word called work right, So then
Speaker 1: compromise and debate to a consideration and all kinds of
Speaker 1: m Yeah, and so members will be able to fly
Speaker 1: in on Tuesday and fly out on Thursday because the
Speaker 1: volume will work, will mandate if they stay in the UK.
Speaker 1: You know what. That's what the American citizens and Montanan's
Speaker 1: expect and said, look, you need to fight for me.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the honor to do your job, but
Speaker 1: I expect and to return that you fight for what's
Speaker 1: right and do your job. So I'm fairly calm. I
Speaker 1: would not even consider running if I didn't know it
Speaker 1: was flexable. So it is fixable. But the sequence has
Speaker 1: to be we have to take the majority back another
Speaker 1: we PA because you have to lead. We have to
Speaker 1: articulate a message of what is worth fighting for, primarily
Speaker 1: limited government, self determination and protection, constitution, freedoms, all of them.
Speaker 1: And then we have to have a narrative to tell
Speaker 1: the American people and convince the American people that's the
Speaker 1: right path. And we have to act with maturity and grace. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then and then it puts us in a position
Speaker 1: for the presidency in to save America. There's no plan
Speaker 1: being so but the first sequences, let's work hard, just
Speaker 1: get the majority that's gonna message and a narrative. And
Speaker 1: you know, lastly, there are a significant number of Americans,
Speaker 1: and they're American citizens that hate Americans, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to tend to that. And we're gonna to tend
Speaker 1: to and work on because if there's Americans that believe
Speaker 1: the opportunity is the same as it is for you
Speaker 1: and I. But so I'm all about yeah, but they're
Speaker 1: also twenty five or thirty years behind us in terms
Speaker 1: of getting that start with the opportunity. You know, just
Speaker 1: turney teen to become the CEO of warm you're abow
Speaker 1: have to climb the ladder. You have to work for it.
Speaker 1: It's like an attitude. And so you know, I'm all
Speaker 1: about showing the ladder of success helping him in the
Speaker 1: first round. Just make sure that they got to climb
Speaker 1: the ladder themselves, right, they got to climb the ladder.
Speaker 1: There's a difference, right, And you can't reward people not
Speaker 1: to work. But our country will not survive when Americans
Speaker 1: hate other Americans and they also see a lot of
Speaker 1: hate and division this country, and it just won't stand
Speaker 1: because it's tearing the fabric of our country. Apartment. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: we'll go out on that. You're your campaign people are
Speaker 1: telling me you have other appointments to attend today, and
Speaker 1: I'd just like to thank you for being on something
Speaker 1: that radio with us matter. You're always welcome here than
Speaker 1: you're an old friend of ours, so we'll be happy
Speaker 1: to see you again, will be interested in your how
Speaker 1: lad did this? Uh is? I tend to be a
Speaker 1: little bit of a cheerleader lately, saying, look, it's our country.
Speaker 1: It is fixable. Um. But it's kind of like being
Speaker 1: in a bus. We're all of us living our lives
Speaker 1: and we weren't paying attention where we're going, and we
Speaker 1: look up and we're here at place we want to
Speaker 1: be as a country, and there's no bus driver. Right.
Speaker 1: So it's a commidant of us all that believe in
Speaker 1: this country, at the school board level, at the state level,
Speaker 1: at the county level, at the federal level, all of
Speaker 1: us have to participate in a great democracy to keep
Speaker 1: it alive. We're gonna share the survival of our democracy.
Speaker 1: But it will take all of us to do that,
Speaker 1: sure will. So God bless and the confident that you
Speaker 1: know never been against America. No, everybody whoever has has
Speaker 1: always come up snake eyes on us. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: it might seem like we're in the fourth quarter. It
Speaker 1: don't worry, Lady Liberty has got a good army. Listen on,
