  • Ep 542. Another really important one, but ...

    As a frequent visitor and user of the Tidewater for recreation, this one strikes home. So I hope you can follow up on something. We can "warn" folks like me all we want about using the waterways ongoing. But what will be the impact on the bald eagle, osprey, etc. and other wildlife that reside there or migrate thru?

  • Half a million acres?

    I listen to this podcast often. I appreciate the points you’re making. I sure hope you’re right that public lands will not be sold, but they continue to add land sales in the 11th hour. Could you explain more about the purpose of pretending they might sell off land? It’s extremely unpopular here in Idaho (and everywhere as you’ve said). But it doesn’t seem like a fake out when this is literally the only way they could ever do it - sneakily, last minute, through reconciliation and with a congress... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 561: Hawaii & Virginia Spanked by Second Amendment (ft. Kostas Moros of Second Amendment Foundation)
Q: Why is the Third Circuit case in New Jersey important for the Supreme Court's involvement in gun rights?
The Third Circuit ruling on New Jersey's assault weapon and magazine bans could create a circuit split, which historically increases the likelihood that the Supreme Court will take the case to resolve nationwide inconsistencies in Second Amendment interpretation across circuits.
EP 561: Hawaii & Virginia Spanked by Second Amendment (ft. Kostas Moros of Second Amendment Foundation)
Q: What happened in Virginia regarding assault weapons and magazine bans, and what legal challenges are in play?
Virginia enacted an assault weapons ban and a magazine ban; initial state court rulings paused (enjoined) the law's implementation, with federal challenges moving through the Fourth Circuit. The outcome is uncertain, as appellate decisions and potential Supreme Court involvement could shape enforcement timelines and future legality of bans.
EP 561: Hawaii & Virginia Spanked by Second Amendment (ft. Kostas Moros of Second Amendment Foundation)
Q: What is the significance of Wolford v. Lopez and how does it affect carry rights outside the home?
Wolford v. Lopez is a vehicle to challenge 'vampire rules' that prohibit carrying on private property open to the public unless invited; the discussion notes that the Supreme Court's handling of Wolford clarifies limits and strengthens the possibility of carrying outside the home, with broader implications for similar restrictions in other states.
EP 547: Aurelia S. Giacometto, 17th US Fish & Wildlife Service Director
Q: What was a turning point or defining achievement during her tenure?
Opening up more land for hunting and fishing and resolving a critical water-rights dispute at a Kansas refuge demonstrated how conservation can be balanced with community needs and regulatory processes, reinforcing the importance of collaboration with senators and agencies.
EP 547: Aurelia S. Giacometto, 17th US Fish & Wildlife Service Director
Q: How did Aurelia transition from the private sector to a leadership role in the Trump administration?
Her path was shaped by a mix of hands-on policy work, leadership in corporate affairs, and a readiness to serve—she moved from Monsanto into federal service, then into a deputy role before becoming the agency head, driven by a belief in practical, principled stewardship rather than politics.
