I listened to this entire podcast yesterday while hiking and came away SO impressed with Sheehy. He was a Navy SEAL for ten years, his wife was in the military. He had planned on a military career but left due to wounds and injuries. He had no business experience, but immediately founded a company to use the remote sensing surveillance technology he had used around the world to patrol the southern border. He leveraged that into using remote sensing to fight woodland and forest fires by founding Bridger Aerospace in Montana. The company has been very successful and spun off multiple companies.

Bridger Aerospace Announces $70 Million Proposed Public Follow-On Offering to Fund Growth Initiatives, Oct 7, 2023, Yahoo Finance.

I was astounded at Sheehy's brilliance in the interview, his understanding of politics, of Democrat strategies, the national implications of the Montana Senatorial election in November, and his hard-working ground campaign. They discuss the changing demographics of the Western states due to conservatives fleeing ultra-liberal states.

Sheehy is a non-nonsense, solidly pro-American guy who tells it like it is. He is VERY well spoken and articulate. You don't hear any weasel words from him.

I can't recommend this podcast enough.

To all Montana FReepers, what do you think of Sheehy?

I don't often donate to political campaigns, but, based on this interview, I'm going to send him a donation.

We need more strategic thinkers in the senate. It’s time they learn how to win

Yes. And far fewer lawyers and lots more businessmen. Like Sheehy.

As long as he doesn’t go the Crenshaw route. AT this point to me a SEAL background tells me you can swim, shoot and have a lot on drive and determination.

That can make someone effective or a freaking menace. Depends upon their belief system.

Does he support CIA? Ukraine? Trump? WEF? TikTok bans? Was 2020 a stolen election?

Where does he stand?

His opponent, Democrat Jon Tester, is pulling out his old campaign trick of running as a conservative. He votes as a liberal in the senate.

This year, Tester is portraying himself as an outsider against all those people who have been in Washington, D.C. too long.

Tester has been there 17 years.

Trump endorsed him, and here is a tweet he put out.

So far, so good.

There is a LOT of discussion of Tester in the interview. Tester is a real snake.

We like Sheehy. Most importantly, we MUST get rid of Tester. He does become psudeo-conservative for about six months every six years. He carries the reservations and that usually is what puts him over.
