on certain things, and he started questioning it and saying, you know, I really don't believe this. I'm going to find out more about it, and I'm going to surround myself with people, and I'm going to ask questions. One of the frustrations that I have when I'm doing my committee work in Congress is there are these bombs that are thrown at us all the time.

Okay, I think that we should delist species that are fully recovered so that we can spend our money on recovering species that still need help. The first reaction is, you want to kill all wildlife? Well, no, I'm not trying to kill all wildlife. I want to focus on species that need it, not on species that are fully recovered and the states can manage.

But that's the extremism that we deal with in politics anymore is there's no effort to say, hey, you know what? The grizzly bears recovered. I think everybody ought to come together. We'll get it delisted and we'll move on to the next one. That doesn't allow them to control large swaths of land and water. And that's why we have this battle that we do.

I just think it's incredibly important that we have this kind of a venue to be able to talk about these issues because they are so important. I want to work with Benji. I want to work with the White House. I want to work with Democrats. I want to work with anybody to move our country forward, to make sure that we can maintain our prosperity. while also addressing these environmental issues.

It's so critically important that we get this right, because right now we really are destroying our national forests. We're destroying large swaths of our BLM lands.

There are so many things that we're doing because of mismanagement, because the regulatory agencies in Washington, D.C., lost their way many, many years ago and don't recognize that management is part of what they're supposed to be doing.

That really is incredibly destructive to our environment. I also want to say oil and gas, coal, uranium, these are the energy of the future because they provide affordable energy and allow us to manage these resources in a way that really, again, is unrivaled in human history. We know what we've done with the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.
