Matt Rosendale

We talked about the debt limit. We talked about our buddy Matt Rosendale. We talked about the guns and the gear at the SHOT Show. We talked about the latest anti-gun antics from the ATF. But then we got to the really important question: How do we make sure Montana doesn't get Californicated like Colorado?

Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale tells us why he refused to take a phone call from former President Donald Trump as Republicans were in the middle of an historic debate over electing the Speaker of the House.

Zinke delivers the final decisive vote. And Rosendale rejects a phone call from President Trump? McCarthy elected Speaker. Here's some of the Montana specific highlights.

The bill raises taxes on working class Americans. The bill spends billions more of your taxpayer dollars, as government spending fuels the inflation that is driving up the cost of practically everything you buy. And Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) just voted over the weekend to put the bill across the finish line.

How did the GOP fare overall in the state? What are Congressman Rosendale's top takeaways in terms of what he thinks the voters are looking for this Fall?
