Today we sit down with the Representative from Montana, Ryan Zinke. From his roots in Bozeman to the halls of Congress, Zinke’s journey is one marked by service, dedication and an unyielding passion for his home state.
Mr. Zinke had a 23-year-long military career as a U.S. Navy SEAL. We discussed his deployments in Asia, his leadership at SEAL Teams SIX, his role in training future SEALs in the wake of 9/11, and his tenure in Congress, and his approach to energy, conservation, and tribal issues as Representative for Montana’s First Congressional District.

I question any politician that says this country is where it is due to the people/politicians not paying attention. It is 100% intentional. The left has been pushing their agenda for decades now and the right just goes along with it. All they are good for is sound bites. They prefer the status quo – make a lot of noise, don't do anything, and amass great wealth. He sure skirted around some of those questions. On another note, it's interesting hearing about Flathead lake. It's been all over the news but it doesn't look that low to me…likely because I lived in Colorado for a decade and the lakes and reservoirs there fluctuate much more.
He seems presidential.
I like him.
Having met Ryan in Montana,I can attest to the fact that he is a Patriot for sure! He is a very nice personable guy.sure like all of us he has some skeletons.I think he and and other likeminded people are what we need in Washington!!
This guy can dance!
Awesome
Well, RZ has had his fair share of controversy in his years of post-military service, and I don't really care to wade into that, as it has largely been addressed. Show me an incorruptible politician and I'll show you the secrets to the universe. That being said, I hope he can do good work because we damn sure need it, and we do very much appreciate his many years of military service. I could see myself sharing an ice-cold Schlitz with him. Gotta get back to the bilge on the Hatteras. Thanks Andy and carry on, good one.
This was the dude that wanted to spend $140K (*of taxpayer money) on doors for his office when he was Interior Secretary, right?
Regardless, great interview as always Andy. Good on you for bringing up Iraq in terms of trust (as I was yelling it into my headphones lol).
"It is shocking to me how well some in elected office are able to select stocks" (*cough Dan Crenshaw*)
Talking about division in the country and how things have changed, I encourage everyone to look at the electoral map for Reagan/Bush 1984 and remember how the country did come together so long ago.🇺🇸
thanks Andy for keeping it real.
what's the plan americans drive diesel trucks and don't fuck around just do the truth and let american debate. the media being a tool of the govenment is killing this country. channels like this provide the entropy needed to escape.
Can’t believe how hard I just drowned out the first 16 minutes of this. I guess I’ll try again another time
I think Senate and Congress should only have 2 terms just like the President. You get voted for twice Great now you're done. Can't be elected again. Thanks for your service to the Country but bye you're done here. Time for new elected Politicians to come in
I don’t know why, but it’s so frustrating hearing politicians speak. I genuinely wanted to like this guy, but my gut says I’m listening to a salesman. It felt like everything was being turned and framed vs giving the brass tacks. Cut the bs. Listen to someone like Elon Musk give an interview vs a politician. I don’t think Elon gets everything right, but my BS detector isn’t flashing red when he answers questions. Do genuine politicians exist or is “genuine politician” an oxymoron? The jury is still out, but the evidence is mounting. Lol. I’ll go ahead and pick up my pedestal and get on with my life now.
As a european it worries me how US politicians blab out half-truths they read somewhere. Or just make stuff up. We have this in europe as well, but not to the same extend. And I have to say the conservartives are borderline insane at times. So fact checK. no. It is not just 4 river-systems in China that contribute to 90% of the plastic pollution in the sea. There are several studies in scientific journals on that (I would like to put a link to a nature paper but my post gets deleted when I do so) . All Journals by the way this guy woulddn't cite on any other topic (like climate change, the efficiancy of masks …. The whole narrative that it is only 10 (and not 4) is debated anmongs scientist (). And even though China is a big contributor in absolute values, it is less obvious on a per capita basis. This is all just a couple of google-scholar-searches away. Why blab out this nonsense then?
That said: I think he is right about the dangers of a lack of supply chain diversification.
Stinky Zinke the worst representative for Flathead. He got 30% of the vote here in last election. Not a good look for BRCC.
The truth is that a bunch of schmucks told us all that nuclear was was imminent and no one ever wanted it to begin with. Today you say that shit and 70s kids laugh at you. As if…. The Who wrote a song about it. It's titled won't be fooled again.
The Mike Baker of Congress. Lots of credentials, basic American ideals, says nothing, dances around every question
He's a good example of what's wrong with politicians
Crenshaw is a corrupt POS, he’s the fifth luckiest congressperson with his stick picks. Hope Zinke is recruiting good warriors.
Zinke talks a lot but doesn’t say much. I am a Republican 🇺🇸
Glover, Jocko and Stumpf for Congress.
What is truth and would get the country back on track is follow the constitution and dust off that other book that is in the side table of most hotels placed by the gideons….
Good interview!
Right a wrong
Great conversation.
What about the missing and abused indigenous women and girls in Montana? Heard the Cheyenne and Crow reservations are especially bad.
