Summary

Podcast & Blast: Episode 149, Conservation in the 118th Congress with the BHA Policy Crew

As a wise man once said, You may not be interested in war, but when the times comes, war will certainly be interested in you. The same can be said about Congress. This week's episode with BHA's John Gale and Kaden McArthur takes us to Washington, D.C., with an exploration of the 118th Congress, where the hottest issues pertaining to our hunting and fishing and the conservation that makes it possible will be on the floor, in the offices, buried in reams of obscure paperwork and clouded by political shenanigans….John and Kaden clear the smoke, slash the fat, and let us all know what is going on, what is at stake, and who the players are as we make our way through 2023. We Americans consent to be governed, and this is a must-listen conversation about what we are consenting to, what we support and what we must resist.

0:38.0	And I think that's like the crux of the debate that every household should be having with the next person they elect into
0:46.3	office like how do we how do we move beyond this like how do we fix the broken system so we can
0:51.2	really tackle serious problems like this.
0:53.3	I just I find it amazing the lack of understanding of human agency in all of this.
1:00.7	It's not a it's not a government that just rolls around as a
1:04.6	steam roller and steam rolls stuff over people drive it and they do good with it
1:09.2	or they do ill with it.

1:31.0	thanks to their support. So I'd ask everybody to check out
