  Speaker 1: Congress and Ryan Zinkey Congressman Ryan Zinky from Montana. Ryan,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: if you're a fifth generation of Montana, then why is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it Yellowstone completely about you and your family? That's what
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I want to know.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm just like John Dutton, except I
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: don't have a helicopter or a ranch or a cattle.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You know, Yellstone really quickly, you know, I got to
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: know Kosner. He's a great guy. It's well produced, but
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: it's a drama set in Montana, just like Star Wars
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: is a drama set in space. It's a drama, guys.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: If you can't lie about the scenery. It's a beautiful state,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: but it's a drama.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Now, how long did it take you to drive from
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: from south to north? And somebody was telling me it
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: was a long time. Well, from east to west. I'm
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: in the.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: State of Montana, relatively speaking, is the same distance crossers
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: from Washington, d C. To Chicago place? Wow? Wow, you
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: know it's a fourth wages state. But if you're going
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to go from northwest down to southeast, it's going to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: take you a while. But about a million people the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: largest city in Montana. Is you ready for this? Big?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: John hired than forty five thousand people, and.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: How much of a body you have with Canada.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: The largest city. Yes, but you know it's a great state,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you know. And as you said, my background, I was
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a seal like fifth generation Montana and I've served in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the in the Congress before and then i became secretary
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and now you know, I'm back on the front lines,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: h you know, the Iran because i'm you know, in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: foreign affairs. This is my cut, John, is that the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: deal wasn't everything we expected. You know, when you when
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you look at it, the top three things no nukes,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: no nuke material, no arsenal destruction, and the straits have
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: to be open. So the president in the next sixty days,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: because we went from I would say, uh, you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: armed conflict, you know, scaled uh you know, intervention, show force,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: force to a blockade, and now we're in a mo ou.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I think the next sixty days they're going to determine
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: whether they're president, which I have confidence in him and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: his team. I think they're gonna it's going to come
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: down to how do you inspect and ensure that Iran
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: does not have a nuclear weapon and the nuclear materials
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: are are controlled and likely either transferred or they're going
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to have to be, you know, deemed safe, which is.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: A processing Conyerson Ryan Zinky got to ask you, though,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of course, about this push and pull about whether the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Israel has Bela and I they keep calling it Israel Lebin.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Israel is not at war with Lebanon. It bothers me.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: This is Israel against ksbel and Juzbla is the ladies
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: auxiliary of Iran. I mean that's the I'm being facetious,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but they're really annoying. They want to make this up
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: part of the deal. And Hesbela is the is you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we know what al Qaeda and isis, but Hesbola is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the old og terrorist army. They are the biggest terrorist army,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the most powerful one over the years.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: They killed a lot of Americans.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: How do you.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Keep this separate? I mean, Hesbila is Iran, and if
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: they're going to be attacking our allies and attacking Americans,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: which they do as well, how do we keep this
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: separate from this deal?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It's not easy, Bill, And you're exactly right. The three h's,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the hoodies, Hesbelah and Hamas all them are funded than
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: sarrogates of Iran. That's not in dispute, is that you're
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: right on the pillars of no nukes, no now material,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: no arsenal destruction. It's also Iranian influence, but you know
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in our in our hemisphere as well. I just remind
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you that Hesbelah's highest population of Hesbelah was in Venezuela,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: outside of the Middle East. All right, so that's be
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: clear that that it's it's here as well well. But
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: do you separate it? I think you look, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I stand with Israel, but I fight for America and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Israel and the administration are going to have disagreements as
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as as as they should. I think. I think the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Lebanon clearly, the Lebanese government is not in control. They're
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: their fledgling. We would like to pay the control. We
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: have Tom barrick uh In in the Middle Is in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Syria and Turkey, and he is He's outstanding, So we
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: have a good team there. I think the solution set
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: really is Iran. If Iran can one is you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: they want to survive. But if we see the Middle
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: East in Iran being checked, the Middle East could actually
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: prosper and a prosperous Middle East. I can tell you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: that that doesn't have the Iranian influence. Uh you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: it'll be a period, a golden period in the Middle East.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And I think their neighbors understand that as well. But
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: right you know, Ron exits this, their currency is worthless,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: their economy is in ruins, they're in drought, they don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: have the first and second echelon. The military is gone.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: First echelon, a leadership is dead. They don't have an
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: air defense, they don't have a navy. Uh so iron
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: is going to emerge from this. But but I think
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a key element is Iran also understands that the Straits,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the Straits is global power and and we're going to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: have to make sure there's freedom and navigation on the Straits.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: And and the President looked at that, and I think
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: he understands that's key. He is is Iran. You know
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: right now they don't need a nuke. They did. They
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: just need a couple of both there and throwing off
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: minds and they can have a gibal impact on movement
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of energy.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Congress Ryan Zink, Ryan Zinky, we're talking to you, congressman
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: from Montana. Former Secretary Interior as well, but but certainly
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a former Navy seal, so we're tapping into your expertise
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on military stuff for nanoe.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, I just wanted our uh how a how are you,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Congressman Fernando Matteo here. Uh, First of all, I'd like
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I just wanted our our, our, our listening audience to
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: know that you were a Navy seal, which uh till yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: he stole it right out of my mouth. And we
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: are very proud of you and and the service that
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: you've given. But you announced you're not going to seek
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: re election. Uh is that still happening?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And a couple of things we need you.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: One is that there are six seals Navy seals in
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the House representatives and one in the Senate. There's two
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: special Forces. We lost Mike Walls, so this is not
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: by accident. Now I'm also chairman of Seal Pack, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: we'll go out and we'll recruit, you know, special forces.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: We'll recruit American patriots to make sure that there they'll
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: continue to fight for me. You know, years of Special
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Forces and seals kind of caught up. It's time to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: kind of go in the yards and you know, get
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: some surgeries, nothing life threatening, but just repair. And and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: one thing of the seal is you never leave your
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: post unless properly relieved. So I found a great, uh
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: great replacement to Bronze Stars. Matter of fact that he
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: was in the radio business, number one conservative talk show
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: host in Montana. Uh, he worked for conbat Burns, worked
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: for me, a Gean Forte. He's a great American and
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: he'll be a super relief. So I'm happy about that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: You know, the house my perspective, not my first rodeo
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: right now. You know, nothing gets done unless President Trump
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is involved.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Well, listen, you're sixty four years old.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: We wish you the very best.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I hope you know you whatever is going whatever heth
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: issues you're going through that you recover because we need
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: people like you in America.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: So Congressman, we have to ask you listen. You know
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: we had we tapped into your expertise and military stuff,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: but you know you're still a member of the Republican Party.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And we're reeling here in New York City from these
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: results of these primaries last night, with the Socialists winning.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's rough for us. It's rough for us here in
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: New York to see these people who are so viciously
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: anti American, so anti Semitic, so anti capitalists, and that's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the only way to help people out of poverty. By
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the way, capitalism is still the best anti poverty program,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: along with law and order, and they're against both of them.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But as a Republican nationally, do you look at this
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and say, well, this is bad for New York, but
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: could be good for the Republicans nationally Because all we
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have to do now in the next few elections is say,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: look at New York and look who they elected. You
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: can't be on their team in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or Michigan,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: can you?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But you know what, you can't pull against New York.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm from Montana. You know in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: New York's New York. Uh we we you know, I
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: have different tones, But I can tell you I want
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I want New York, just like you, to be the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: center of of of of America and the heart because
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: because New York has that potential, I think I think,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you know, looking at it, Uh, what's happened in the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party? They had Cannadas their elder They haven't done
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: anything that are corrupt, they are they're not resonating. And
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: then you have a new group in here that are
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: socialist communists far leftists that you're right, that are that
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: are stealing opportunity and then opportunity from from New York.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: And they're led by Bernie Sanders, a guy that's what
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: he's ninety now or something like that, you know.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And then overall I do think that Republicans are going
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: to keep the House though, And this is why really
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: quickly is one is Act Blue has been exposed. When
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you have tens of staff taking the Fifth Amendment, it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: been exposed. It isn't destroyed. And Act Blue is a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: funding mechanism for the Democratic Party. It hasn't been destroyed,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: but it's been it's been largely disabled. First time in
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the history. I think Republicans are out raising Democrats.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: How often is that about? A problem? Ryan? You know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: mister congressman, nobody goes to jail. Has anybody gone to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: jail from the Blue? Is that woman that that that
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: that before the atrocities I arrest go to jail? A
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Lewis Learner, Lowis Learner.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: The only guys that go to jail Republicans, you know.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, there's something wrong.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It's amazing, No, it's amazing. You're you're right. But you're
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: The second thing is you know you look at Canada
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: for Canada across the country. We have better candidates we
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: just do you know we have We have better solid
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: candidates to represent Montana, that represent our country, that represent
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you know, the American ideas.
