One of our biggest cities that's a beacon of the American dream is not safe.
It's all above. And here's the challenging part. Of this wildland paradigm. It is so insidious around us. And I want to be clear. There's no mastermind. There's no George Soros back there like, I'm going to burn down America and here's how we're going to do it. This is just the accumulation of decades of bad policy. Just bad policy. Forest management. At one point, the U.S.

Forest Service was the largest percentage-wise contributor to the U.S. national treasury. It was a profitable agency. That's an oxymoron. I mean, executive branch agencies, you don't earn a profit. You are a cost center by definition. If the government was a business, our executive branch agencies are cost centers.

We raise money from taxes, tariffs, revenue, and then we spend it in our executive agencies to provide services to our people. By definition, they're not really supposed to generate revenue, but the Forest Service would through timber leases. That's why it's under the Department of Agriculture. The U.S. Forest Service sits under USDA, which is weird.

The Forest Service should be under USDOI by modern kind of cognitive standards. But because it was a harvestable commodity product, they put it under U.S. Department of Agriculture. Well, the USDA is worried about corn subsidies and soybean prices and egg exports around the world. I mean, forests are a tiny pimple on the ass of what USDA does every day. It's not core to their mission.

And as a result, what's happened is the environmental lobbying groups and the very litigious environment that we now have has shut down American timber industry. And now we buy our timber from Canada and Chile and everywhere else, but we don't grow timber here in America anymore because it's impossible, almost, to have a business model that works with American timber.

I mean, in Montana, and this connects to fire, I'll circle back here to explain why this is important.

They'd bring the logs in, build timber to build American homes, with American jobs, with American trees. And over the years, as the environmental groups partnered with enviros in government who were active in wanting to shut down the timber industry, who then partnered with massive donors to conserve and protect wild land, they started shutting down massive swaths of our country.
