Dick and Charley Armey share growing up together in North Dakota

In this powerful episode of Open Range, host Gary Emineth brings together former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey and his brother Charley Armey for a rare, side-by-side conversation. The brothers look back on growing up together in Cando, North Dakota, and how small-town values helped shape their lives, careers, and leadership styles. They share lighthearted childhood stories, but also dig into serious moments that shaped their character and impacted others around them. A major focus of the discussion is mentoring—how both Dick and Charley invested in people, guided future leaders, and passed on the lessons they learned growing up in rural America. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that strong roots can lead to lasting influence far beyond the prairie. #NFL #Congress #NorthDakota #politics #football
