Cider Maker and Founder Lee Van DeWater of Pierrepont Cider shares his story in this episode on how he is forages apples to share a taste of terroir from New York's North Country. Lee Van DeWater Foraging Apples for Cider - Sustainable? Lee's cider journey started with childhood memories of sweet cider and apple trees planted by his great-grandfather. But it wasn't until he worked in Montana—buying wine for a co-op that he connected cider and apples through fermentation. Western Cider of Montana help Lee get that spark/idea of a cider life, and the seed was planted. Pierrepont cider is a one-man operation, sourcing apples exclusively within the Little River Watershed. Many of the trees Lee uses are wild seedlings, unknown varieties that thrive in New York's tough climate. He honors the trees, the land, and water, seeing cider as a reciprocal act of love for place. Low-Intervention, High-Expression Lee is self-taught and intentionally minimalist. His ciders are: Wild-fermented Unfiltered Unsulfited Aged in stainless and neutral oak barrels Some of the most memorable ciders come from single trees. Others are blends of just a few wild apples growing together. He tracks everything via GPS and harvests with the patience and perspective of a forager. “The tree that holds its fruit until the first snow, that's climate-controlled storage,” Lee laughs.

Chuck Tingle on Bury Your Gays and Writing to Prove Love is Real In this episode of Read Between the Lines, Molly Southgate sits down with USA Today bestselling author Chuck Tingle to talk about his bold, thrilling, and deeply heartfelt latest novel, Bury Your Gays. Known for blending horror, romance, and satire with a fiercely human core, Chuck discusses the inspiration behind Bury Your Gays—a dark Hollywood tale that pits creativity and love against systemic erasure, corporate algorithms, and literal monsters.

We are in a cultural war—and it's being fought in our music, our ministries, and even our wildlife. On this episode, Shemane sits down with truth-tellers who refuse to bow down to political correctness, weak faith, or failed policies. From chart-topping anthems to bold ministry calls and global conservation—this week is all about courage in action. [00:39] What Would Charlie Daniels Do?Shemane is joined by her husband Ted Nugent and country star Ira Dean to celebrate their hit single What Would Charlie Daniels Do? Ira shares the real-life road rage moment that sparked the song, how Charlie Daniels once prayed him toward sobriety, and why Ted was the natural fit for the track. Ted recalls Charlie's uncompromising stance for God, family, and country, and together they explain why the song struck such a nerve—shooting to #1 across genres and racking up millions of views. [24:36] Leaving Comfort to Answer the CallFormer police officer and veteran Shane Winnings tells how a radical encounter with God led him to leave a stable career and step into full-time ministry. He unpacks the reality of spiritual warfare, why so many pastors avoid teaching discernment, and how every believer can recognize the battles happening around them. From praying with President Trump to launching Promise Keepers' men's movement, Shane challenges Christians to leave comfort behind and live boldly for Christ in America's mission field. [37:06] Hunters, Conservation & Human DignityAward-winning filmmaker Tom Opre, founder of Shepherds of Wildlife Society, explains why hunters are some of the world's fiercest conservationists. He details how license fees and excise taxes fund wildlife science, why rural voices matter in policy, and the dangers of well-meaning but destructive bans. From Montana grizzly country to Zambia's subsistence farms, Tom shares powerful stories—including the heartbreaking reality of child brides in Africa when wildlife loses its value. His mission: protect creation, uphold human dignity, and steward God's resources wisely.

This week's scriptures: Psalm 46Acts 16v11-40This week Adam digs into some questions surrounding baptism. When does Christian faith insist on maturity and when does it leave room for immaturity? When does Christian faith defer to history and tradition, and when does it deny history and tradition? When does Christian faith focus on the individual and when does it call for a more communal understanding of individual personhood? Does God choose us or do we choose God?

In 2017, David Leavitt drove to the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana to adopt a baby girl. A few years later, during an interview with a documentary filmmaker, Leavitt, a wealthy Utah politician, told a startling story about how he went about getting physical custody of that child. He describes going to the tribe's president and offering to use his connections to broker an international sale of the tribe's buffalo. At the same time, he was asking the president for his blessing to adopt the child.That video eventually leaked to a local TV station, and the adoption became the subject of a federal investigation into bribery. To others, the adoption story seemed to run afoul of a federal law meant to protect Native children from being removed from their tribes' care in favor of non-Native families.  This week on Reveal, reporters Andrew Becker and Bernice Yeung dig into the story of this complicated and controversial adoption, how it circumvented the mission of the Indian Child Welfare Act, and why some of the baby's Native family and tribe were left feeling that a child was taken from them. This episode was produced in collaboration with the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism.This is an update of an episode that originally aired in August 2024.

What happens when a frosty November morning in rural Oregon turns into a life-altering standoff with a towering, cream-colored Bigfoot? In this gripping episode, Jeremiah Byron sits down with Jane — a Navy veteran and retired postal worker — who came within arm's reach of a massive Sasquatch outside her home near Little Fall Creek, just off the Willamette National Forest.Jane recounts the terrifying moments when her floodlights illuminated the creature's immense frame, its head tilting to reveal glowing blue eyes — and the paralyzing dread that locked her in place. You'll also hear about 13 other sightings reported that same night in the area, plus strange connections to historical “wild man” reports nearby.From the gravel driveway to the shadowy tree line, this is a raw, unfiltered account of an encounter that took away her love for the forest… and left her with questions she may never answer.

In this episode, Clay unpacks the extraordinary rise of ASML — a little-known Dutch company that quietly became the most important player in global technology. Since its IPO in 1995, ASML has compounded at 20% annually. ASML holds one of the most powerful monopolies on earth as it's the sole manufacturer of EUV lithography machines, which make the world's most advanced semiconductor chips. Without ASML, companies like Apple, NVIDIA, and TSMC couldn't power iPhones, AI data centers, or the modern digital economy. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 - Intro 04:56 - How ASML grew from a Philips spinoff into Europe's most important tech company. 13:31 - How ASML's partnership with TSMC shaped the global semiconductor industry. 32:16 - Why ASML holds a near-monopoly on EUV lithography machines. 41:01 - Why the geopolitical tension between the US and China place ASML at the center of technology power struggles. 53:30 - How investors can view ASML's growth, risks, and future opportunities. 01:00:23 - What makes ASML's moat nearly impossible for competitors to replicate. 01:05:08 - The dual leadership that propelled ASML's rise and built a culture of relentless focus. And so much more! Disclaimer: Slight discrepancies in the timestamps may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Ever feel like you're drowning in information but starving for wisdom? You've got endless tabs open, podcasts playing, books piling up—and yet when it comes time to make that big decision, your brain feels like scrambled eggs. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I share the number one reason entrepreneurs make bad decisions and how you can stop it. I'm talking about decision fatigue, information overload, and the chaos that comes from running on autopilot without creating space for clarity. I also share my simple but powerful 3-Day Clarity Quest framework, a process that's helped me (and many others) slow down, reset, and make better decisions that lead to more income, impact, and alignment.Here's the truth: your brain is a gold mine, but you can't dig out the treasure if it's buried under junk. Studies show entrepreneurs consume 34 gigabytes of info daily. The average person makes 35,000 decisions a day. And decision fatigue alone can decrease your brain's efficiency by 40%. No wonder so many people are stuck in hustle mode, making poor choices.But here's the kicker: clarity doesn't come from more hustling—it comes from space. That's why I retreat into the Montana backcountry with no cell service, no screens, and no distractions. Just nature, stillness, and a journal. That's where I developed the Clarity Quest framework, and it's what I want to share with you today.Here are some of the big takeaways:Clarity comes from stillness, not from grinding harder. Your best ideas live in the space between distractions.Day 1 is about detox and declutter. Shut off the noise. Journal out every thought. Delete the top three distractions holding you back.Day 2 is nature immersion and stillness. Spend hours outside. Hike, sit by water, meditate. Let your mind breathe and reset.Day 3 is harvest and action mapping. Review your insights. Create a simple, time-blocked game plan. And this is crucial: attach consequences to your commitments. Because consequences create commitment.Confusion costs cash. Clarity creates cash flow. When you're clear, your productivity and decision-making power skyrocket.I'm not saying you have to run off to Montana and poop in the woods to make better choices (though, hey, I recommend it). You can adapt this framework wherever you are. The key is creating intentional space, giving your brain a reset, and approaching life and business decisions with clarity—not chaos.If you've been overwhelmed, second-guessing, or stuck on autopilot, this episode will be a game-changer. Do the 3-Day Clarity Quest, and you'll start making decisions faster, better, and more aligned with the life you actually want to create.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Show Notes:https://wetflyswing.com/802 Presented By: Intrepid Camp Gear   Sponsors:https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors   Mckenzie Johns' fly fishing road trips have taken her from small Pennsylvania streams to epic solo journeys across the Rockies. On her recent fly fishing road trip from Colorado to Alberta, Mckenzie combined her passion for trout fishing with the freedom of rooftop tent camping, traveling with her blue heeler, and testing the Intrepid Geo Solo tent. Along the way, she shared how fitness helps her stay strong and confident outdoors, making long days on the river and setting up camp effortless. Her approach blends gear know-how, solo travel safety, and a love for exploring wild, beautiful places. For women looking to plan their own fly fishing road trips, Mckenzie's story shows it's possible to merge fishing, camping, and fitness into one unforgettable experience. From choosing the right tent and packing fly fishing essentials to embracing solo travel and building outdoor strength, her advice encourages confidence on and off the water. Whether on a calm lake, a fast-moving river, or a mountain campsite, Mckenzie Johns proves that fly fishing road trips—when combined with skill, preparation, and passion—lead to adventures worth remembering. 01:14 - Mckenzie Johns was introduced to fly fishing by her father in Pennsylvania, stepped away from it for years, and reignited her passion after catching her first trout at Deckers, Colorado, about 7–8 years ago. She is now in Canmore, Alberta, preparing for her first fishing trip with her father since 2019, highlighting the deep bond they share through the sport. 05:46 - Mckenzie Johns discussed her Intrepid Camp Gear setup, which she tested during an eight-day solo road trip from Colorado to Canada. She uses a 2024 Toyota 4Runner equipped with a Geo Solo rooftop tent and a 190 cargo box, a combination that keeps her organized, allows for quick setup in under two minutes, and provides safety and comfort, especially valuable for solo female travel in remote, scenic locations. For more information, view here. 12:45 - Mckenzie Johns explained that when she first committed to fly fishing, she relied on guidance from her then-partner, supplemented by podcasts, YouTube tutorials, and self-study, but ultimately improved through hands-on practice. She identified casting as her biggest early challenge, starting with Euro-nymphing before transitioning to traditional fly fishing, and now relies on a few “confidence” patterns—especially a size 18 perdigon, flashback hare's ear, and hopper-dropper rigs with a chubby Chernobyl and egg pattern—favoring an intuitive approach over strict hatch-matching. 19:03 - Mckenzie Johns shared that she hasn't been Euro-nymphing much lately, instead fishing with an indicator setup holding two to three subsurface flies—often using a bright pink indicator for visibility. With rivers blown out from recent rain, she's considering lakes while enjoying the rare chance to fish alongside her father, a dedicated trout angler from Connecticut who's always ready to pull out a fly rod whenever he's near water. 22:18 - Mckenzie Johns said road trips let her explore beyond Colorado into places like Wyoming, Montana, and now the Canadian Rockies—finding beauty in the landscapes and the waters she fishes. Her tip for a long journey is to research for safety but embrace solo travel for its empowerment, noting that a reliable vehicle like her Toyota 4Runner makes it easier to be ready for adventure anywhere. 29:15 - Mckenzie Johns described how her fitness journey began from a low point in her life, where hiking in New Hampshire sparked the realization that better physical health would let her enjoy the outdoors more fully. After moving to Colorado, she shifted her mindset from exercising for appearance to training for strength, endurance, and mental clarity—eventually embracing home workouts and even coaching other women to build the fitness needed to explore and adventure confidently. 35:00 - Mckenzie Johns explained that anyone can start a fitness journey at home with just a yoga mat, a few sets of dumbbells, and a focus on weightlifting mixed with some cardio, noting that expensive equipment or a gym membership isn't necessary. She also shared how the fly fishing community has become more inclusive for women in recent years, though challenges remain, and emphasized the importance of female-led groups that create safe, welcoming spaces for beginners to learn and grow in the sport. 46:18 - Mckenzie Johns advised that anyone looking to improve their health can start small with regular walking for low-impact cardio and basic stretching to keep muscles limber before and after activities. She also shared about her blue heeler, Sari—nicknamed “Smooch” for her affectionate nature—who often joins her adventures and enjoys relaxing in their rooftop Geo Solo tent, where she can watch the outdoors through the open windows. 50:26 - Mckenzie Johns shared that she still uses her first fly rod, a nine-foot five-weight Orvis Clearwater, which has proven versatile for Colorado waters, and that she often wet wades in warm weather but relies on her well-patched Patagonia waders—purchased secondhand—when conditions call for it. On the road, she enjoys a collaborative Spotify playlist she created with her social media followers, featuring a mix of genres from classic rock to pop, including songs by Kansas that bring back fond memories of time spent with her dad. If you're looking for the playlist, go here. 57:43 - Mckenzie Johns said this Canadian Rockies road trip has inspired her to return next summer for a longer stay when the fishing conditions are at their peak. She took eight days to make the nearly 2,000-mile drive from Boulder, savoring stops in Wyoming, Montana, and along the scenic Trans-Canada Highway through British Columbia before arriving in Canmore. Conclusion with Mckenzie John on Fly Fishing Camping In this episode, Mackenzie Johns shares her journey into fly fishing and camping, from her solo road trip across the Rockies to testing the Intrepid Geo Solo rooftop tent. She talks about her blue heeler travel companion, how fitness plays a role in her outdoor adventures, and tips for women looking to start their own fishing and camping journeys. Along the way, Mackenzie offers gear advice, safety insights, and encouragement for embracing the outdoors with confidence.

This episode was recorded live on stage at the 2025 Old Salt Festival in Helmville, Montana, where I had the honor of sitting down with two of the people at the center of this ambitious experiment in food, land, and community: Cole Mannix who is the President and co-founder of the Old Salt Co-op and Andrew Anderson who is the manager of the J Bar L Ranch. If you've been following Old Salt, you know it's much more than a beef company. It's a bold attempt to rethink how ranching families, local communities, restaurants, and consumers can work together to create a food system that's resilient, regenerative, and deeply rooted in place. What strikes me most about Cole, Andrew, and the Old Salt team is just how hard they are working to make this vision a reality. They're juggling ranching, processing, restaurants, and festivals—businesses that are notoriously difficult on their own—and somehow doing it all with an open spirit of generosity, collaboration, and humility. In this conversation, we dig into the early days of Old Salt, the failures and lessons that shaped it, and the risks of scaling up in an industry designed to squeeze out small producers. We talk about why they chose to take the harder road of building restaurants and hosting a one-of-a-kind festival, how they measure success beyond the spreadsheet, and why they believe community is as important a product as the beef itself. Even if you don't work in food or ranching, the lessons here resonate for anyone trying to build a purpose-driven business. We cover everything from balancing mission and margins, to leading with vulnerability, to learning how to grow without losing sight of your values. Cole and Andrew are quick to admit they don't have it all figured out, but their candor, persistence, and vision make this a conversation I know you'll find as inspiring as I did.

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Chase Doak, the Billings, Montana man who took some of the earliest hi-res photos of the infamous Chinese spy balloon when it appeared over "Big Sky Country" and rattled nerves in many more of the 50 United States of America in February 2023. His photos - shot with a massive zoom lens in his driveway - were spread around the world on social media and through news outlets. On the afternoon of February 1, 2023, Chase Doak was a former journalist and photographer who was working for a local public agency in Billings, Montana. While the next few hours and days that followed didn't exactly change his life, he was able to truly enjoy being in the right place at the right time, with the right kind of curiosity - and some handy photography skills. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station broadcasts from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms' quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

Ding-ding. Let's get ready to rumble. We are in the octagon today and in the fight of your life. Sometimes life will punch you in the gut. You'll take hits financially, relationally, in business, or in your health. You might even sometimes feel like you're getting knocked out. But here's my question… Who's in your corner? The people you surround yourself with in both the good times and the bad times will make or break you. And today, I'm sharing a message that recently hit me at 1:30 in the morning, and forced me to pop-up, write down my thoughts, and later record a little Spittin' Fire (hence Ep. 440). So today, I'm talking about your “cornermen” (or corner-women) in your life — the thoroughbreds who lift you up, sharpen you, and help you to keep swinging…even when you're down & out. Or give you specific instruction on how to get out of a tough time. Specifically, I'll give you 5-moves you can make right now, whether you are winning the fight…or getting your butt kicked. Specifically, I'm going to share 5 moves that will help you do the following: How to get rid of the stinkin' thinkin and the scarcity mindset that can rob you when you in the middle of the “fight.” How to stay in “DREAM-mode” and allow your dreams to inspire and empower you to keep going. You gotta stay IN the fight. How to BE the person you are trying to attract. How to best cut the noise and narrow your focus. How to keep trusting God when you feel like He has deserted you. Friends, thank you for being in my corner…I sure am honored to be in yours. We're in this fight together — and I pray God gives us the strength, perseverance, and wisdom to win today's battles and tomorrow's wars. Today's episode will remind you of what you're made of, who's around you and the importance of STAYING IN THE FIGHT!! If this episode fires you up, here's how you can help spread the impact: 1.

#294 - In 1989, 37-year-old Patricia Meehan crashed head-on into another car on a Montana highway. She calmly stepped out, stared at the other driver—and walked away into the night. She was never seen again… or was she? Over the years, thousands claimed to spot her across the country, yet not a single sighting was confirmed. Was it amnesia, a planned disappearance, death in the wilderness, or something darker? Decades later, her fate remains one of America's strangest mysteries. Learn more about your ad choices.

Since this episode was recorded, it is with great sadness that I found out that Dan Steffensen passed away on July 26, 2025. Obituary information for Dan SteffensenAward-winning author and professor A.J. Otjen joins Rich to unpack “Burned Over,” the true story of Montana firefighter Dan Steffensen, who survived a 60-foot wall of fire and an agonizing road to recovery. They explore Red Lodge's “summer of hell,” the honor guard, the nurses and burn survivors who rallied behind Dan, and the hard-won lessons about asking for help, resilience, and community. It's a raw, human look at survival—and why first responders deserve our deepest respect.Guest Bio:  A.J. Otjen is a professor at Montana State University and an award-winning author. In addition to “Burned Over,” she has written research-driven children's books centered on Crow history and artists (one recognized by the Library of Congress), and previously penned a Billings Gazette column on courage, ethics, and social issues. Her narrative work blends meticulous research with deeply human storytelling. Main Topics: ·         The day a 60-foot wall of fire overtook firefighter Dan Steffensen and the “walking wounded” reality of severe burns. ·         How A.J. met Dan through a student campaign for firefighter PPE and spent 2.5 years recording interviews to tell his story. ·         Red Lodge's “summer of hell”: major wildfire, a missing climber, the loss of a local firefighter—and the town's collective resolve. ·         The honor guard, EMTs, burn-unit nurses, and family who stood watch and fought for Dan's life. ·         Burn recovery realities: grafts, coma, learning to walk and even swallow again; the emotional toll and therapy. ·         Lessons from burn-survivor peers; Dan's shift from “I'm fine” to accepting help. ·         Dan's 2023 comeback—passing the firefighter Pack Test and returning to the line—followed by a later small-cell lung cancer diagnosis. ·         Why A.J. wrote a human story (not just a “fire book”): love, community, and telling the truth, even when it's hard. ·         A call to support local, mostly volunteer, fire departments with donations and needed items. Resources mentioned: ·         A.J's Website: https://ajotjen.com/·         Supporter: Send us a textDonate HereSupport the showRate & Review on Apple Podcasts Follow the Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast on Social Media:Facebook – Conversations with Rich Bennett Facebook Group (Join the conversation) – Conversations with Rich Bennett podcast group | FacebookTwitter – Conversations with Rich Bennett Instagram – @conversationswithrichbennettTikTok – CWRB (@conversationsrichbennett) | TikTok Sponsors, Affiliates, and ways we pay the bills:Hosted on BuzzsproutSquadCast Subscribe by Email

Guests: • Jacob Steiner – Brand Ambassador, Robert Mondavi Winery • Jessika Hickman – Field Sales Manager, Constellation Brands • Jennifer Alexander – Key Account Manager (On-Premise), Lippman Brothers⸻Episode OverviewIn this episode, we sit down for an impromptu but lively conversation with three people shaping the way wine is experienced and sold in Nashville and beyond. From Napa Valley to Broadway, we dig into the history, trends, and future of wine in America.Jacob shares his journey from Southern California surf kid to Napa Valley sommelier, his climb through the Court of Master Sommeliers, and what it's like to represent one of the most iconic names in American wine. Jessika brings her insight on how trends are shifting in Nashville's dining scene—where tequila, mocktails, and even THC drinks are competing for space alongside wine lists. Jennifer, with her deep background in sales and relationships, rounds out the discussion with a boots-on-the-ground perspective from one of Tennessee's leading distributors.⸻Key Topics We Discuss • The Robert Mondavi Legacy: How Robert Mondavi helped put Napa Valley—and American wines—on the global map. • Jacob's Wine Journey: From hosting at King's Fish House to Napa Valley, Montana, and beyond, plus his pursuit of the Master Sommelier certification. • Wine Education: The difference between WSET and the Court of Master Sommeliers, and what it really takes to blind taste at the advanced level. • Shifting Consumer Trends: • Sauvignon Blanc's surge in popularity (California, New Zealand, and Napa styles). • Portuguese wines as an approachable entry to European reds. • Why Pinot Noir still rules and Merlot is making a comeback. • The Nashville Angle: • How over-saturation of restaurants is reshaping the market. • Why more guests are choosing mocktails, THC seltzers, and low/no-ABV options. • The tension between “what's new” and what has stood the test of time. • Mondavi's Future: Sustainability, organic certification, cutting-edge winemaking technology, and the brand's recommitment to its Napa Valley estate.⸻Memorable Moments • Jacob explaining the Court of Master Sommeliers exam process and what it's like to be grilled on every wine region in the world. • The group laughing about the impact of “Sideways”—how one line in a movie crushed Merlot's reputation for decades. • A candid discussion about the post-pandemic relationship with alcohol, mocktails, and how restaurants adapt. • Jennifer reflecting on her liquor store roots and how being a “chameleon” in relationships has fueled her success. • Jacob's final takeaway: “Wine doesn't have to be fancy all the time. Drink it with friends, enjoy it, and have fun.”⸻Why You Should ListenIf you love wine, hospitality, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at how brands, distributors, and restaurants work together to shape what's in your glass, this episode is for you. It's equal parts education, storytelling, and a reminder that wine is about connection—not pretension.

In the gripping second part of this episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, guest John Nores dives deeper into the escalating issues at the U.S. borders, focusing on the alarming rise of Chinese nationals crossing illegally and their potential ties to organized crime and terrorism. The discussion uncovers the calculated destruction of identification documents by these operatives, making it nearly impossible to trace their identities, and explores the sophisticated transportation networks facilitating their entry. We examine the collusion between Chinese organized crime and Mexican cartels, highlighting their roles in fentanyl production, human trafficking, and the operation of illegal grow sites. The conversation also addresses the vulnerabilities of the northern border, particularly in Montana, where limited resources and vast terrain create opportunities for smuggling and other illicit activities. The episode reflects on the positive shifts under the new administration, with improved communication between federal agencies and law enforcement, and a renewed focus on combating cartels. We also explore the challenges faced during California's sanctuary state policies under Governor Newsom, which restricted information sharing and media outreach about cartel activities. The discussion touches on the role of cryptocurrency in potential money laundering schemes and its geopolitical implications, as well as the need for a more streamlined immigration process that distinguishes between non-criminal immigrants and dangerous offenders. Beyond the serious topics, the episode lightens up with stories of community engagement, including John Nores' involvement in a Montana-based rock band, Area 56, which has provided a joyful outlet amidst the intensity of his work. From adapting military tactics for law enforcement to tracking fugitives like a former Army Ranger in rural areas, this episode is packed with insights into the evolving challenges of border security, environmental protection, and public safety.
