If all of the radical liberals on the Montana politics hashtag (#MTPol) are freaking out about the speech Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke (R-MT01) delivered on the House floor, you know he is on the right track.

I saw some liberal news website was complaining about the "conspiracy theory" that Zinke was talking about. Conspiracy? This is the reality on the ground, and it is exactly why you will see "Save the Cowboy, Stop the American Prairie Reserve" signs all over Central and Northeastern Montana.

The fact is, the Biden Administration is openly colluding with anti-ranching groups who are trying to kick the ranchers off of the land here in Montana.

Case in point- the Director of the Bureau of Land Management for Biden is a woman named Tracy Stone-Manning. She is connected to, and lied about her involvement with, a domestic eco-terrorism case while she was at The University of Montana back in the early 1990's. The Biden BLM is now giving special favors to the foreign financiers and radical environmentalists who fund the American Prairie Reserve (APR).

Here is the specific excerpt from Zinke's Tuesday floor speech that stood out to me:

Dark money” groups funded by liberal billionaires and foreign investors funnel money to shell organizations and repeatedly attempt to destroy the American West.

 They want to wipe the American cowboy off the map, take our water, and turn Montana into a national park. They want to control our land and our life.

We got caller reaction and more on the radio Wednesday morning.
