Episode 5: Thick Steaks and Old Whiskey with Brian Schweitzer

Brian Schweitzer was the 23rd governor of the great State of Montana. But don’t call him “Governor.” He does not want to be associated with what that word has become over the last four years.Brian hasn’t been in office since early 2013, but he hasbeen paying attention to the political scene in the state that he still loves. He is also fired up and ready to call out the lobbyists who are running the state. When Brian was in charge, Montana was governed by common sense and fiscal responsibility. He was honest and transparent. He didn’t eat the thick steaks or sip the old whiskey of the lobbyists who do not always have thebest interest of the people at heart.With Erik developing a case of the Mondays and worrying more and more about the political crisis our state is facing, we thought we would give Brian a call to try to wake some people up and send out a call to action to get us back on track.To have your voice heard on the Mad About Montana Podcast, contact Nylund at [email protected] or Foley at [email protected].
