Congress

Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale tells us why he refused to take a phone call from former President Donald Trump as Republicans were in the middle of an historic debate over electing the Speaker of the House.

We caught up with Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT02) for the first time since his victory in the November midterm elections. We talked GOP leadership elections, FTX, Ukraine, 2024, and more.

Joe Kent is the Trump endorsed candidate in Washington state who won an upset victory against a Never Trumper who voted to impeach Trump. More importantly, he's an Army Ranger and Green Beret whose wife gave her life in service to this country while she also served in the military.

He got his start in politics working for former Gov. Ted Schwinden (D-MT) back in the 1980s, and has donated to several major Democrat campaigns and officials. So why not run as a Democrat?

This is actually quite the historic moment. This is the first time since the early 1990s that Montana will have two members in the US House of Representatives.

No more coronations. We will have a debate. If someone wants to be a leader representing House Republicans- they will have to work for it.

"I think Montanans know that our country's in peril...it's gonna be a lot of effort to get DC back on track. And, look, I have a track record of getting things done. I don't like the swamp, but I love my country- and the Montana voice needs to be heard."

I was able to tag along with Montana's Congressman Matt Rosendale (R-MT) for a great visit to Horses Spirits Healing just north of Billings. Horses Spirits Healing is a great organization serving veterans, first responders, and their families with therapeutic programs featuring horses.

It would weaken Montana, and strengthen Washington, DC. Senator Tester is still backing statehood for DC, as Congressional Democrats pressed forward this week on a hearing regarding DC statehood.

There's the nearly $2 trillion COVID relief bill that doesn't even give most of the money to COVID relief, and bails out the bad decision making of blue states like California and New York. There's the Equality Act that would discriminate against women in the name of the transgender movement. There's defund the police. That's just some of the crazy bills being pushed by House Democrats this week.
