The lawmakers aren’t even trying to do anything there , just have more blue ribbon panels to study it further.

@@doggmansnapperdude3405 First, Yes, I am talking about Pot. It has not always been "legal". I retired 12 years ago after 20 years and while Pot was culturally and societally "acceptable" it was not legal. In the last 5-10 years of my career pot became legal and a person could grow enough for "personal consumption" so long as they had a card and prescription for use. Not for sale. That quantity of plants was considered to be ~6 plants per person. If you know anything about marijuana, it's a large plant. So, let's at least be honest here, a person who is growing, indoor or outdoor, thousands of plants, is not growing them for personal consumption. I found several grows that were literally in the thousands and those grows were cut down and destroyed. On the Fentanyl issue, I could not agree more. A drug that was used to sedate Rhino's is probably going to be deadly for the human. What it's doing to our children is is a travesty.

When I became a teenager my grandfather always advised the same thing "Be good! And if you can't be good, be safe!"

I've also worked in the intelligence/analysis diaspora for much of my career and have spent a fair amount of time in tracking and identifying a lot of the cartel activity in my home state and the cartels are not new to Montana, they've been around in some capacity for more than 30 years. The border isn't the main issue - it's economics. You could theoretically shut the border from north to south and it ultimately would not matter one iota because the incentives for drug production and consumption trump outweigh the current incentives that exist in traditional economics of our society as it is currently and as it has existed in it's current framework for the past 20 some years.

Great episode!!! Spot on with your information. Only caveat I gotta say is unfortunately organizations have been in Montana since at least 1990.

Moved to Lincoln County 3 years ago. I’ve been sadly surprised at what I’ve seen.

Montan doesn't have polar bears...They have grizzly bears. Big difference. My wife and I are from Glacier county. This entire story breaks my heart. It was an amazing place to grow up.

I cuss up a storm every time I have to stop what I’m doing and clean my hands just to skip through an ad. Go ahead and make fun of me.

All hope is not lost. The problem is out in the open.

I’m an EMT- B in a mid-sized town, and I have friends who are medics in bigger cities. We’ve been seeing these super drugs being deliberately marketed to kids for a while now. (fentanyl and other drugs that look like smarties, for example). People need to be aware, especially parents. I live on the northeastern coast of the USA. Nearly as far as you can get from the southern border, and this crap is already here. Kids are dying, and our government isn’t doing nearly enough to handle this- be it on a regional, state, or federal level. Very well done Andy for helping to put the spotlight on this.

I read John’s book hidden war, great read

Thanks for the truth....!! Shine the bright light.....! Your truth is truly frightening ....!

Thanks!

Thank you.

God Bless all you parents out there. You are truly the great Americans!

I spent almost half the year near Marion for 15 years, returned after retirement to work with themeth problem in Kalispell...broke my heart to see the poisons surface in my beautiful Montana. One strength that you have is your ability to network. Kalispell is huge now by comparison BUT people talk to each other! Please form local groups and meet regularly to gather anddisburse info...please no guns to roust themout...Represent yourselves at county,state AND federal levels. You willget somewhere...don't give up! The gentlemenpresenting today are excellent examples...offer your support to them. I join you in Spirit.

Living just north of the Montana border this is eye opening.

I was born and raised here in Montana as were my parents, grandparents, etc. This is not, nor will it ever again be, the Montana I was born in 50 years ago. Overall, according to the 2022 census, only about 54% of the population here were born here. In many areas such as Kalispell and Missoula, only 45% were born in state and in Bozeman less than 40%. Make no mistake, many that move here have good intentions, but they have no clue as to the real impact it has had in making it unrecognizable by bringing their ways from other places. Most locals hate it here now and are leaving because out of staters are getting into government positions here be it city, county, or state and are fundamentally destroying it through growth policies, property valuations that price locals out and drive up taxes, zoning changes for major sprawl, etc. I am here to tell you if Texas, Montana, Idaho, and many other once great and self sustaining states have, or are falling this country is done for.

We need to start policing our own communities taking swift and decisive action. The measures that would be necessary for law enforcement to solve these problems would jam up our court systems to no end. I won’t expound in my meaning, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

The problem starts spiritually, It starts with us turning to the Lord Jesus and repenting of our sins. Then our National will be saved. Raise our children in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Thank you for your sounding the alarm. You're on the front lines. It's up to us to get the message to All Americans. God Bless you and Keep you protected.

Build up a strong community that exposes these issues. Parents need to be very involved with their children early on and continually through life. Remove people running policies and get people from your community in those positions and support the while holding them accountable. I was just up in Montana my home to bury my uncle a recon army medic, and when returning i saw in Great Falls casinos everywhere. I was in the teams and now on civ side...troubling all this is...i am at the point that i feel compelled to take action. Reaching out ... we need to take action...

My mother was told by my cousin who was working for a cartel that they would hurt her to get to me because I was threatening their business and I sent back the message that they would be putting sparks on a very short fuse that has yet to be lit and they backed off me but they didn't go anywhere. They just know not to be on my radar anymore. At this point if I saw one I'd recognize them and I don't agree with everyone that the same laws apply how you deal with them. They have no human rights in my eyes.

The cartels laugh at our laws because we are slow to go into action.

I remember hiking up logging roads behind our Boulder Creek cabin as a kid and stumbling onto a grow op. Can only imagine what it is like now.. lots of places to hide up there.

Learning much here as well as from Staci Zinn -DEA of Montana! It’s war!! From Central Montana.

I live in NM the cartels are all over the place here. I work out on the rez and it's infested with them. Many places out there are not policed and the politics there keeps all law enforcements hands tied. If you find yourself here on the rez do no one break down, two stay really strapped. I love camping and hiking out here and I'm always strapped in full kit when I do it.

The Sinaloa Cartel has been here for a long time. This is the super highway for the North Dakota Oil Fields "Bakken", Canada, and Washington. It comes up through I-15 to Butte then continues up to great falls into Canada. It also splits off onto I-90 to North Dakota and Washington. They use reservations and to stop State Police and local law. Then when Reservation comes for them they cross into Montana.

So sad but amazing interview.

Wow! Crazy! Same thing happened to DC.

This is unbelievable!

ND here, seeing what’s happened to eastern Montana and central is absolutely crazy. Billings used to be a nice place. The way it has changed in specifically the last 8 years is mindnumbing. The amount of shootings and crime has gotten absolutely ridiculous. I won’t advocate for any one solution to this problem. Because I believe it’s a tiered problem. That said there is plenty of things the people who know these areas can do. This like many things is going to be remedied by the people who love those areas. Who live there. The Outdoorsman and the backwoods locals working together. Then involving authorities. Like most things their greatest asset can and will become the greatest threat to their existence. Their remote access. Only it won’t happen until YALL have had enough. Until YOU lose enough. Until the local populations make it unbearable it will only become worse. Local authorities have rules and protocols to follow that they exploit, whether it’s officers on the payroll, red tape or Simply handcuffed by the process. You wanna make a difference in this fight take it to them. Find your people and be the change. Start the conversation everywhere and don’t implicate yourself. It’s not uncommon for accidents to happen to people involved in that game. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Guerilla games, Claude Dallas style. Ultimately if you’re an outdoor type, redneck, honky cracker. Talk about it or be about it, but don’t do both.

I live in one of those tiny rural Maine towns that was mentioned. Fentanyl has destroyed plenty of lives here.

Love and prayers guys!

If there’s a demand, there will always be someone who will fill it, especially when there is a ton of money involved

I am Native American and am very angered by this. One of the problems is the corrupt tribal governments on some of these reservations. It would not be hard for the cartels to bribe a tribal council member or members including the chair. None of that bribe money would ever go to tribal members. It would line the pockets of tribal council members. Unfortunately many of these governments have the same tribal council members voted in year after year. That makes them ripe for corruption. I’ve seen it personally. I’ve heard this is happening in South Dakota too.

How many veterans would take a job in a tower like in the yard in the Pen.. A tall tower every mile, many veterans, snipers, expert marksmen, that can shoot a 300win, or 338 lapua at a half mile easily when elevated.. there is just shy of 2000mi, that would put veterans in a job, and you wouldn't have to shoot very many times until people wouldn't dare set foot near the line.. The word would spread like wild fire that you will get shot if you touch that line.. This is a simple, way to restore border security rather than a stupid wall..

Just drive down the main drag from the Billings airport and just look at the questionable characters working the intersections and hanging around the sidewalks. There’s a hospital across the street so they’re probably accessing that for whatever they can get and there’s probably other government handouts around the women’s prison. I spoke to a woman whose husband is a police officer in Billings and she said it is a complete nightmare. They’re looking for an escape as most sane people do from insane places.

Capitalism dictates supply goes to market. As Montana is sparsely populated, supply is always only limited by the available customers. I am sort of surprised the Cartels haven’t realized how bad fentanyl is for business, as un alive people aren’t customers, and fentanyl brings more heat, but maybe they’ll realize it’s not in their best interest to peddle that garbage. They have other products.
