Summary

In this episode (130) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy shares a mic with two statewide primary election candidates in his home state of Montana. We all have felt at some time that we voted for the lesser of two bad choices. This podcast is focused on how you can engage in the Primary Election to hopefully improve the candidates you get to choose from. Tim Fox and Jon Knokey are running on a strong public land and conservation platform. Yet, if they lose the primary, their outdoor policies will not move forward. Point being, in many states, the outcome is decided in the Primary Election. If you vote for hunting, fishing, and public access issues, get those candidates through the primaries.

0:00.0	Hey folks, Randy Newberg here with another episode of Loophold's Hunt Talk Radio.
0:06.8	It is strange times, right? We're dealing with shelter-in-place regulations,
0:12.9	social distancing, all this kind of stuff. I'm trying to produce podcasts that I think are
0:19.2	relevant, that cause people to think, hopefully give them some motivation. And that's
0:29.2	these podcast topics right now are kind of reflective of my efforts to try, use our platforms
0:36.9	in a beneficial way. So this episode that you're going to hear in a little bit here, I'm going
0:44.6	to click the wire, but I'm probably going to, well, when I click the wire, you're going to hear
0:49.8	our two guests, but I'm going to do a little bit more preface to this one because some people
0:54.0	might think it's strictly a political podcast. And for me, I think people who are blessed to have
1:02.5	platforms like I have and can reach people in longer-in-depth conversations than just a 10-second
1:12.6	pre-roll ad on a YouTube video or a 30-second TV commercial, I think it's our responsibility
1:19.5	to have deeper conversations and give some bigger picture context to how important some of these
1:26.8	things are. And you hear me talk a lot of times. I've laid off at the last few months about politics
1:34.4	and policy and elections, but you hear me talk about being engaged. I've in the past,
1:41.6	you've heard where we've used our podcast to have US senators come on and talk about conservation,
1:50.6	public lands, access. We do it when there are elections in Montana and I do it with the Montana
1:58.8	elections, too, to not have everybody be bored by Montana issues, but to understand how whatever
2:07.5	state you live in, there are probably people, platforms, opportunities to engage in the process
2:16.8	in your state. So this podcast is to try and accomplish a couple different things. One,
2:24.2	the primary reason for me right now is I see or and I read and I hear people say, oh, we always end
2:32.0	up with the lesser of two evils or neither one of them are what I would have wanted or blah, blah, blah,
2:37.9	whatever it might be. We've all heard it. We've all felt that at some point in time. Well, the reason
