00:01:26.280
opportunity to tell us a little bit about your background and ultimately what led you to running
00:01:31.660
for u.s senate well first of all thanks for having me and more importantly thanks for all the critical
00:01:38.900
advocacy work you're doing um you know it's it's it's embarrassing that we as a country have to now
00:01:44.760
have a discussion about the fact that there are two genders you know most of us took that for granted
00:01:48.900
our entire lives i mean as far as i know since the dinosaurs were around there were two genders
00:01:52.960
um but of course now we have to have a national debate about it so thank you for standing up i know
00:01:58.460
you've had a ton to go a lot of harassment physical on social media uh in every way possible so thanks
00:02:05.380
for undertaking the fight but um you know why i'm in the fight now the political fight was you know i spent
00:02:10.860
a lot of my life fighting as a navy seal my wife was a marine we both met in the military at the
00:02:15.980
naval academy and were both division one athletes she was a very competitive national level gymnast
00:02:20.340
became a you know division one uh diver you know at the naval academy so uh excelled incredibly in
00:02:26.100
female athletics and then and then became of course a u.s marine corps officer so um we met in the
00:02:32.460
military we saw each other about 45 days quite across six years uh during the wars iraq afghanistan
00:02:37.700
all over the place um i ended up getting wounded so got discharged and we started our business
00:02:43.880
here in montana from scratch and it was a pure startup every every cent we had went right into
00:02:48.220
the right into the business all on black really and um and decided that we were going to start a
00:02:53.660
company that took the technology that protected me on the ground in afghanistan we had aircraft
00:02:57.540
above us with infrared cameras electro optic cameras different types of sensors and they provide
00:03:03.520
us that real-time situational awareness uh that would protect us on the ground and um uh i was a team
00:03:10.880
leader so led hundreds of americans you know all over the world five plus deployments you know
00:03:15.060
hundreds of missions and and uh it was an amazing experience obviously great days terrible days amazing
00:03:21.160
days the highs and lows of war are extreme but was so honored to lead americans in the field battle all
00:03:26.280
over the world and would love to keep doing it but after i was injured the final time that was the end
00:03:30.760
of the road so when we started the business i decided to take that technology that protected us
00:03:35.040
on the ground in the war zone and apply that uh to other tasks and about the time i was getting out
00:03:41.300
there was an incident in garrizona called the yarnell mountain fire uh and 19 firefighters the
00:03:46.600
granite mountain hot shots were burned alive and killed in that wildfire and and the reason was is
00:03:51.220
they lost spatial orientation for where the fire was where it was moving and what it was doing
00:03:56.140
and they got disoriented made a tactically wrong decision and the fire they thought the fire was going
00:04:01.600
one way it was going another way and they all died all 19 of them there's a movie about it called
00:04:05.480
only the brave and i heard about that and and and realized if i could take the technology i had if
00:04:11.860
that team leader had what i had on the ground in afghanistan they'd still be alive so i started my
00:04:16.900
company bridger aerospace uh to do that um and i actually wrote a book called mudslingers all proceeds
00:04:22.420
go to uh to the firefighting community i don't get any money but it's about the history of
00:04:25.920
firefighting from the air and all that stuff uh so i started a company to protect firefighters
00:04:30.540
from the air with the same type of technology i had as a seal team leader um and i thought maybe
00:04:35.960
one day we'd have 10 employees and you know a couple of planes but i'm proud to say we've created
00:04:39.600
about 450 jobs from scratch across all the companies we've spun out and created in the last nine and a
00:04:45.260
half years all veteran founding team and it's been tremendously successful it's been a great ride
00:04:50.880
and most importantly our company still serves the country you know we're veterans who served and we're a
00:04:56.300
great example of the fact that when veterans get out our service is not over we can keep serving our
00:05:00.000
country and we've done that through building bridger aerospace defending uh americans all across the
00:05:05.100
country from wildfire we're in texas now we were in texas fighting the smokehouse creek fire we still
00:05:09.700
have planes there i was just there last week um and it was in that mission fighting fire in chico
00:05:14.700
california in the summer of 2021 i was flying our scoopers i fly all of our planes i lead from the front
00:05:19.820
and uh while i was flying water bomber missions by day by night my pilots and i were working hard to get
00:05:26.540
american citizens allies friends out of kabul out of afghanistan before they got murdered
00:05:32.740
burned alive heads cut off shot in the street um we abandoned those people who fought alongside us
00:05:39.560
after the deadliest attack in american history um and in the in the wake of that after we spent weeks
00:05:45.080
and months getting people out bringing our allies in american citizens home spending their own money
00:05:49.440
doing it uh you know i realized you know the true rot we had going on in our government that was
00:05:54.460
it was first time i'd ever been ashamed of being an american and that's when i knew that it was time
00:05:58.640
to get involved again in public service and and that's when i started to lean into politics more
00:06:03.500
as a donor and a host and a speaker but then uh eventually what was asked hey you're pretty good
00:06:08.100
at this what we have an important race coming up would you consider running and a big decision for my
00:06:12.160
wife and i we have four young kids two girls two boys um but the way i see it america is at a
00:06:17.260
crossroads we don't have a choice but to stand up just like you stood up after what happened to you
00:06:21.540
i stood up after i saw what happened to the sacrifice of me and so many of my teammates
00:06:25.820
who fought many of them died i carried them home in boxes i refuse to let this country that we fought
00:06:32.040
for slip away and and these things you know i believe we're we've gone beyond partisanship this
00:06:37.680
is just common sense i mean we're telling people that gender is fake there aren't boys and there aren't
00:06:41.740
girls anymore uh when we you know borders aren't real uh you know we start to question what and what
00:06:47.740
the hell's going on and we have to stand up and do something about it so that's why i'm here that's
00:06:51.600
what got me involved there are so many issues that are at play and obviously we need to talk about
00:06:55.020
about about women and the protection of women today um but you know that was the impetus to me to stand
00:07:00.520
up and get involved and and i got four young kids four six eight and ten and i refuse to hand uh hand
00:07:06.560
this country over to them in the state it's in so we're we're gonna fight hard for it oh my gosh i knew
00:07:11.200
you were a navy seal i did not know that your wife was in the marine corps um i had no idea your
00:07:16.140
extensive background this is incredible um you are the exact person who we need in leadership
00:07:22.580
positions and you know you you we hear people say all the time um left right leaning everything in
00:07:28.200
between they say you know they're here to fight for america for america um but you have proven that
00:07:34.120
you you really know what it means to fight for america you put your life on the line for this
00:07:39.420
country um in terms of your leadership and your your sacrifice and understanding your role um so wow
00:07:45.660
that's incredible and we thank you for your service um of course uh when serving but even
00:07:51.220
now undertaking this fight and you were recently endorsed by president trump uh which is of course
00:07:55.580
a huge deal so how did that come about that's that's well you know it goes back to something
00:08:01.980
you said we always hear from politicians that they're going to fight and they're going to fight
00:08:05.860
for this they're going to fight for that um and as you know with your experience going to these
00:08:10.000
events you know being threatened being physically attacked uh very few of them have actually ever
00:08:14.520
fought for anything on both sides you know they haven't fought you know they they talk tough on
00:08:19.780
tv they tweet and etc etc but how many of them actually actually fought and then the whole point
00:08:25.400
of fighting is to win we fight and win it's not just fight i'm not just going to fight for america i'm
00:08:31.020
going to fight and win and and that's an important distinction because you know as i can say the
00:08:35.840
japanese fought very hard in world war ii they were very brave a bonsai charge into into machine gun
00:08:40.400
fire they'd kamikaze of their planes but guess what they lost we need to fight smart and we as
00:08:45.200
american conservatives we haven't been fighting very smart these past few years we've been getting
00:08:49.100
beat on many fronts we need to fight and win and that part of that's going to take a new generation
00:08:53.860
of leaders but uh as you said very proud to be endorsed by the former president um you know i
00:09:00.040
supported him you know from the very beginning as soon as he got in there was no question um you know
00:09:04.380
he was we had a great field of potential candidates all those others were great americans
00:09:08.140
uh we were lucky that they stepped up but uh you know since the beginning there's no question who
00:09:12.360
the nominee was going to be and uh i was very honored to have his support and um i think it's
00:09:16.780
very simple he wants to win this race as you correctly pointed out you know john tester is my
00:09:21.640
opponent i'm not running against john tester i'm running for america i'm running to save this country
00:09:25.840
he just happens to be in the way um but the point is president trump knows we have to win this seat if
00:09:31.780
he's gonna when he wins the president he's gonna get anything done he needs a senate that can pass
00:09:36.260
his legislation to move america forward so um i think he wants to win he looked at the potential
00:09:41.960
candidate field and said he's a smart young guy you know he served his country he's a successful
00:09:46.940
businessman uh he can win and we were proud to get his support that's amazing and you mentioned
00:09:53.140
senator john tester uh recently uh this week actually he voted in opposition of the i believe it was called
00:10:01.360
the protection of women and girls in olympic and amateur sports act um it was an amendment
00:10:05.700
introduced by senator tommy tuberville who of course is a coach uh an athlete himself um and it wasn't
00:10:11.620
actually even just senator tester all 51 democrats voted in opposition of protecting women and girls
00:10:19.140
in sports and so i've got to ask you you know do you feel like this represents the values and the ideals
00:10:27.060
and the the traditions of those who live in montana oh it absolutely does not and you know he bills
00:10:34.020
himself as a dirt farmer you know how many dirt farmers do you meet think there should be 18 year
00:10:39.160
old men in the same locker room as 10 year old girls i mean how many dirt farmers say well my wife's
00:10:45.880
actually my husband uh you know it's it's ridiculous and no it does not reflect the values of the state
00:10:51.520
and you know we've been hearing for 60 years about how the democrat party is the party that's
00:10:56.660
protecting women this is war on women coming from conservatives and white men and republicans
00:11:00.940
we're out to get women and now we have a party that that can't even define what a woman is
00:11:06.020
you know justice kataji brown uh in her supreme court hearings refused to define that a woman was
00:11:12.360
a thing she said well i'll have to talk to a biologist i'm not a biologist i don't think you
00:11:16.480
need a biologist to tell you what's between your legs uh so now we have a party that spent half a
00:11:21.120
century telling us that they were the party protecting women whether it was you know reproductive
00:11:27.540
rights or or you know title line now they refuse to even admit that women exist and if there was
00:11:34.520
ever a war on women that's it and you know it goes beyond just boys playing girls sports it's not just
00:11:40.600
you know an 18 year old swimming against another 18 year old who can go faster which is obviously
00:11:45.780
terrible in of itself but as you correctly stated uh during your terrible experience now on a high
00:11:51.400
school sports team you can have a 17 year old man sharing a locker room with a young girl i have two
00:11:58.540
daughters um that that should not be something that they have to endure they go on a traveling sports
00:12:04.620
team they're going to share hotel rooms with these people they're going to share locker rooms they're
00:12:07.300
going to be naked with them they're going to be in the showers with them nobody wants to talk about
00:12:10.520
these things but that's the reality we need to talk about the nitty-gritty of what these
00:12:14.800
actual policies mean when they're rolled out and that is that our daughters my eight-year-old girl
00:12:21.000
i don't let them go on public bathrooms alone because anybody can walk in there no longer are
00:12:26.300
they going to be with a nice old grandmother who's going to help them out if they have an issue
00:12:29.440
there's going to be a man in there and we saw in alaska just last week or the week before planet
00:12:33.760
fitness when a woman walked in and there was a man shaving in the women's locker room and a young
00:12:38.720
girl wrapped in a towel clearly scared and she went to the staff to get this guy out of there
00:12:44.000
and they kicked her out you know for standing up for a young woman and her comfort in a space she
00:12:49.880
should feel at least relatively safe she was the one punished so this kind of insanity has to stop
00:12:54.520
and you're absolutely right senator tester it's just a fact he voted against that he voted against it just
00:12:59.520
like he voted against the lake and riley act once again protecting young women from violent illegal
00:13:04.820
aliens voted against violent illegal criminal aliens paying for them to be here so it's crazy
00:13:14.300
and you're exactly right and talking about the reality of these things it's not as simple as just
00:13:21.860
being compassionate or empathetic or inclusive these these buzzwords these virtuous things that
00:13:27.420
in their true definition are wonderful things um it's not about that because what we're seeing is not
00:13:34.260
compassion and you mentioned kataji brown jackson uh which i it's ironic that she was the of course
00:13:40.800
sitting supreme court justice who said she can't defines what a woman is and recently she went on
00:13:46.320
the news to say she felt like our first amendment rights were hamstringing the government precisely
00:13:52.440
that is actually precisely what our first amendment rights are supposed to do and you and i both know
00:13:58.060
if our government can't abide or understand that that's precisely why we have the second amendment
00:14:02.920
so there's no surprise in the fact that she said this recently either um but defining this word
00:14:10.220
woman to your point admitting that women exist uh which i love the way you phrase that because it's so
00:14:16.240
true um would you support you know defining sex as biological and ending these debates which is
00:14:22.560
something we've seen now undertaken in the u.s house i believe representative lesko and representative
00:14:27.220
diana harshbarger um have taken under the women's bill of rights which is of course just a bill that
00:14:33.280
codifies and defines these sex-based terms um do you see that as something that of course is beneficial
00:14:41.060
and necessary and urgent i would add well i mean first of all of course i would say there's no question
00:14:49.020
i would support it i think the challenge is for me philosophically it the fact that we've been having
00:14:57.000
this discussion uh i find completely ridiculous and sometimes i have to wonder is this intentional to
00:15:02.860
distract us from other things to make us have an argument and spend our legislative energy to pass a
00:15:08.040
bill to say that women exist this is from the party that says follow the science that spend the last
00:15:13.420
decade telling us follow the science follow the vaccines don't question masks you know putting a
00:15:18.820
diaper on your face will save the world stand six feet apart don't question climate change carbon
00:15:22.860
emissions blah blah blah blah blah follow the science yet apparently science doesn't include the fact
00:15:28.160
that there are two genders so the level of hypocrisy and insanity i don't know what other word to use
00:15:33.600
other than insanity i mean it's insane to stand there and talk to someone who's explaining to you
00:15:38.040
with a serious face that women are can't be defined it's a societal construct um last i checked you
00:15:45.200
know you can't pregnant a man it just doesn't work that way so uh yes of course i would i would support
00:15:49.920
the women's bill of rights act uh but part of me says you know almost engaging in that legislative
00:15:54.760
discussion is almost a surrender in and of itself like we shouldn't have to have that discussion
00:15:59.420
there's absolutely no reason america the land of the free uh where we're supposed to be ruled
00:16:04.460
you know by a government or you know we're supposed to have a government that doesn't rule the
00:16:07.780
people it's by the people of the people for the people shouldn't have to pass an act to acknowledge
00:16:12.700
that women exist but unfortunately that's where we are and you know we're ruining the day we're
00:16:17.700
ruining 60 years um you know of marxist educational indoctrination that's what we're seeing
00:16:23.560
you know our education system has been corrupted for so long and it was intentional and it's still
00:16:28.260
happening i'm very pro-education i want my kids to learn and of course go to college if they can
00:16:33.100
and etc etc but you know what we're seeing now is no longer education it's indoctrination
00:16:39.400
to your point about where we are now as a society where we have to even you know give a definition
00:16:48.620
to these words words we've never struggled to understand to to your point since the dinosaurs
00:16:54.200
were roaming the earth um but we do and understand it's this is there are no limits if we are willing
00:17:01.520
to deny the most basic of truths if they can tell us how to think and what to say and how to feel on
00:17:07.000
this topic we're done we're done as a nation um unless we get leaders in like you uh you mentioned
00:17:13.820
you have young kids uh daughters and sons and you mentioned you know the future we're leaving with
00:17:19.660
them with i mean you must worry about this right our elected officials in society as a whole this future
00:17:27.900
that's being left behind for your kids uh my generation to to ultimately deal with
00:17:34.440
absolutely and i mean i'm so worried that's why i'm doing this and i can promise you
00:17:39.900
you know being a senator was never a life dream of mine uh sitting in a building arguing with a bunch
00:17:44.920
of 80 year old men doesn't sound like fun i'd much rather be flying water bombers and working my
00:17:48.660
farm and ranch with my four beautiful kids and my awesome wife but you know we can't stand by and
00:17:53.720
watch this continue and part of the reason we're here uh you know i was on the radio show just
00:17:58.340
day before yesterday maybe it was yesterday can't keep all the days straight i'm over the place but
00:18:02.140
uh you know i was asked what's the greatest threat to america and i said apathy and i truly believe
00:18:07.860
apathy is the greatest threat to our country and our society it's not china it's not russia it's not you
00:18:14.160
know diseases or cyber or bitcoin or whatever the hell you want to talk about it's apathy i mean the
00:18:18.780
average american is just like ah you know whatever you know six to one 18 year old kids last year
00:18:24.360
would rather lose their right to vote than lose their access to tiktok that's a huge problem for
00:18:30.160
our country because their constitutional republic which is what we are we're not a democracy we're
00:18:34.760
a constitutional republic which is very different a constitutional republic depends on an engaged and
00:18:40.260
educated citizenry a citizenry that cares a citizenry that gives a shit about what's going on in
00:18:45.380
their country right now we don't right now half of americans vote if we're lucky um you know we can't
00:18:50.880
get people to join the military because they say why would i fight for this country i don't even like
00:18:54.160
it very much because i've been told my whole life how evil it is why the hell would i join up and fight
00:18:58.580
for it so we have so much apathy in so many walks of life and unfortunately uh you and i are a great
00:19:04.520
example it took traumatic events for the two of us to step up and get involved it just did you know you
00:19:09.780
had to have a terrible experience you know with with with uh you know a man pretending he's a woman
00:19:14.640
swimming i'd have a terrible experience watching a war i fought and friends die and something
00:19:19.660
betrayed by our own government to stand up and get involved in and unfortunately that's where we're at
00:19:24.300
as a country but folks like you and i can start getting engaged running for office you know congress
00:19:29.760
is the least popular institution in america at about four percent approval rating nobody likes congress
00:19:34.480
and i come from the military and small business which have very very they're the top institutions
00:19:39.160
people love the military and small business so why would i i i jump from the best pool to the
00:19:44.300
worst pool it's because we have to and i think good people like you and i that that aren't career
00:19:48.520
politicians aren't career lawyers and lobbyists we can step up and say you know what we're going
00:19:52.480
to get into this organization um and i know you're not running for anything but i think you should
00:19:56.460
we're going to get out of this organization and we're going to make it better because this is
00:20:00.500
where the rubber meets the road and we better start here otherwise you know this country that's
00:20:03.840
been so great to so many people for so long isn't going to be around much longer
00:20:07.620
absolutely tell us about your campaign very briefly you know the issues you're running on i want to hear
00:20:12.960
about the feedback you're getting i imagine the people of montana are ecstatic with this i don't
00:20:18.800
picture montana as a place you know being from tennessee i'm from a conservative state haven't spent
00:20:24.300
a ton of time up there but i imagine the people of montana are not overly enthused with senator tester
00:20:31.100
so i want to hear about the feedback you're getting and how you plan on representing again the people
00:20:35.760
of montana well the feedback's been been great of course i'm a relative nobody when i announced eight
00:20:43.540
months ago i had about four percent name id and three percent of that's because there was a judge in
00:20:47.420
missoula named she and that's who everyone thought i was so functionally i was nobody and uh now we're
00:20:52.880
we're tied to leading in the polls and it's been a good constant you know one one direction in the
00:20:57.860
trend line up and to the right the whole time so uh we're making good progress feedback's been
00:21:01.860
great um people uh you know there's frustration with senator chester there's also this frustration
00:21:06.560
with like we discussed all these broader issues in america that people are starting to wake up and
00:21:11.740
realize you know what the hell is going on in this country how can we be giving free housing free food
00:21:16.580
free transportation free health care to illegal immigrants when we have homeless veterans committing
00:21:21.100
suicide in the street um you know how can we be telling our kids that girls are boys and boys are
00:21:26.040
girls how can we print money six times faster the economy is growing and be surprised there's
00:21:31.040
inflation you know we're we're waging a war in american energy and then acting surprised when
00:21:36.460
we have six dollar diesel so um there's a broad dissatisfaction there's also a hunger for leadership
00:21:42.560
there's a hunger i think across america but we've definitely felt it across montana they want
00:21:47.000
leadership and uh the top issues have been pretty clear actually i've been very surprised we're a big
00:21:52.220
state if you turn montana end to end you know from the northwest corner of the southeast corner
00:21:56.620
it's almost as far as florida to new york it's a long distance we're a big state fourth largest state
00:22:02.280
but even across that vast expanse um it's been very consistent number one issue is the border and all
00:22:09.820
the downstream effects of that fentanyl drugs crime even trafficking we feel it here in montana even
00:22:15.600
though we're a northern border state we are having a southern border problem and montanans are feeling
00:22:19.980
man uh second issue economy and inflation uh you know montana's a big state people got to drive a
00:22:26.480
lot uh sometimes two hours to work you know our mailbox that our ranch is 11 miles down the road
00:22:31.340
so six dollar diesel means you know it's gonna be 50 bucks to go check your mail so you know there's a
00:22:35.820
lot of uh there's a lot of impacts montana's cost of living over the past three years during
00:22:40.280
covid when everyone watched yellowstone and wanted to flee the big cities and go to montana
00:22:44.040
cost of living went through the roof and for working-class montanans who weren't making out-of-state
00:22:48.560
zoom job wages uh that was making montana unaffordable to live in and when you're telling
00:22:53.860
people they can't afford to live in their own hometown i mean they start to look around saying
00:22:57.980
what the hell's going on i mean how can i not afford to live in my right with my home um so cost
00:23:03.980
of living is going up and people are feeling the real income pinch uh that's coming from this very
00:23:08.220
inflationary environment that's of course a result of bidenomics so that's issue number two and issue
00:23:12.820
number three i would say it kind of wraps up broadly more the culture war issues you and i discussed
00:23:17.320
just the common sense issues of saying why are we arresting cops and releasing criminals why are we
00:23:22.900
kicking veterans on the street to be homeless and we're getting free housing to immigrants why are
00:23:28.200
we telling our daughters that boys are not going to play in their sports just you know the litany of
00:23:32.280
issues of common sense issues that are really frustrating a lot of americans and i think we have
00:23:36.980
an opportunity as a republican party uh nationally to really redefine the conversation we've been we've been
00:23:44.140
on our heels for a long time we've allowed the media you know the triad of the media the internet
00:23:49.280
companies uh and the democrat party to define the narrative and put us in the corner and beat the hell
00:23:55.640
out of us on you know all these cultural issues were defined as racist xenophobic anti-women
00:24:00.720
and and i think now people are waking up realizing you know who who's the real anti-woman party the party
00:24:06.760
that's trying to defend young girls or the party that says young girls are fake uh you know who's the real
00:24:11.460
party that's trying to defend working class americans the party that that panders to them or
00:24:15.740
the party that you know that is actually trying to defend their wages defend their jobs defend their
00:24:20.760
homes so i think we have an opportunity as a party to reboot our message and we have to take it i don't
00:24:25.180
think we've quite taken it yet as a party i think as republicans we need to make sure our message is
00:24:30.520
is not just one of grievance and anger and frustration it's one of hope and one of the future
00:24:35.520
because we're in a tough spot as a country no question but we've been in much worse spots before
00:24:40.080
you know it wasn't that long ago in human history we were the deadliest war war in american history
00:24:44.720
was a civil war we're slaughtering each other hundreds of thousands uh you know the great
00:24:48.880
depression people declared american capitalism was dead you know the american economy was a failed
00:24:53.720
experiment well they didn't watch the rest of the movie look at us now uh you know 1968 was it was
00:24:58.380
an extremely divisive year you know years prior we had one president assassinated another one a candidate
00:25:03.460
assassinated so brothers of course the kennedy so you know we've been in really nasty spots as a
00:25:08.340
country before but we've always emerged from those periods of time uh with incredibly with
00:25:13.540
incredible growth trajectory with strength with honor uh with hope and i think we're at that point
00:25:19.680
again where we can have a reagan-style revolution and come out of this uh with a mandate from the
00:25:24.580
american people to really lead into the next generation i think montana is going to be that battleground
00:25:28.740
we are the race that will determine control the senate uh i encourage people to go to timfremt.com
00:25:34.520
and learn about me and the race donate if you can but really the point of this is there are
00:25:39.940
three senate seats we have to win this cycle uh six-year terms for senators every two years a third
00:25:46.500
of the senate turns over uh there are three races in 2024 we have to win west virginia ohio montana
00:25:52.340
after that we're defensive for the rest of the decade we can't flip any seats that means we can't
00:25:57.680
retake the senate till 2030 and if we don't retake the senate chuck schumer and the democrats have
00:26:02.680
been very clear this is a conspiracy theory they've said what they want to do they want to end the
00:26:07.060
filibuster which means they can then add two more states dc and puerto rico which of course would
00:26:12.400
immediately add four democrat senators and expand the supreme court and pack those that court with
00:26:17.840
justices that align with their ideology that's a structural threat to the future of america that's
00:26:23.220
a structural change that will take one to two generations to undo that's how important this
00:26:27.700
race is if we don't win montana we will win west virginia i'm very confident
00:26:31.820
mansion retired jim justice is rolling in that's 50 50 that leaves up to the white house if we lose
00:26:37.500
the white house we're right back where we are now you know with tie-breaking votes coming in every
00:26:40.900
time and kamala harris has broken more ties than any of your vice president history and that's due to
00:26:45.340
one person john tester because every time there's these close votes and you hear the whispers in the
00:26:51.340
wind of the names you know who's uh you know cinema mansion rakowski susan collins you know who's
00:26:56.820
going to cross the aisle and and pass you know this legislation test was never named the name is never
00:27:02.280
mentioned he's never in that navy column you know exactly where he's going to be and that's in
00:27:05.860
lockstep with chuck schumer so this is a very important race um and and i encourage americans whether
00:27:11.280
you have know anything about montana or not whether you've been here whether you care about montana
00:27:15.500
you need to care about this race because it has national implications and it will impact the next
00:27:20.440
generation of americans i feel like i'm ready to like fight you've given me so much hope it's easy
00:27:27.700
to like you said it's easy to kind of look at what's happening and feel pretty grim um because a lot of
00:27:33.240
the stuff we're seeing is pretty chilling but you've reminded me um just for perspective again in my young
00:27:38.800
years it's hard to to really understand our history and where we've been before but but truly um it is
00:27:46.000
