Steve Bullock

Speaker of the House Greg Hertz (R-Polson) says it is time to re-open the economy and get people back to work in Montana. He joined us on Monday's Montana Talks statewide radio show with Aaron Flint.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that North Dakota's Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND) took a much different approach than Montana's Governor Steve Bullock (D-MT), and yet- it is Montana that needs North Dakota's help?

The liberal Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court called on the jails and detention centers in Montana to release inmates due to concerns over the coronavirus. Guess what? At least one of the inmates released from jail is already back behind bars. Shocker!

Spokeswoman Carolynn Bright said the Department of Corrections had begun limiting the movement of inmates as much as possible — within DOC facilities, throughout the state and from state to state.

So they basically shut down the university system and declared an emergency on a Thursday, but didn't tell anyone about the Clay Christian/Mike Cooney connection till Saturday? Meanwhile, they allowed indoor arenas to fill full of high school basketball players and fans from all across the state.

"He created a hostile work environment of a place I had enjoyed working two decades, and actively intimidated or fired employees who raised concerns about fraud and the mismanagement of federal and state taxpayer dollars."

Now that liberal Gov. Steve Bullock (D-MT) has officially entered the race for the US Senate in Montana- break out the popcorn. I've heard some political analysts say that this could now be a $100 million race in Montana.

Bullock becomes the most prominent candidate in the Democratic primary race, which also includes public health expert Cora Neumann and Helena Mayor Wilmot Collins.

The Associated Press reports that Montana Gov. Steve Bullock will try to unseat first-term Republican Sen. Steve Daines, a senior adviser said Monday, giving Democrats a boost in their effort to take control of the Senate in November.

Former MT GOP Chair Erik Iverson joined us to talk about the US Senate race in Montana, and the Montana connection with a Super Tuesday victory in Alabama. Hint: it involves manure, ice, and Montana State University.
