doesn't main in montana. we have huge counties, as you said, and our farmers, our wheat farmers really have no option. they got to plant wheat. maybe they can go a little with lengthils and other crops, but can't plant corn in montana. you can't plant sorghums in montana. you can't plant other soybeans, for example, in montana. those options are available to farmers in other states. they are not available in our state, so we've got to make sure that the farm bill makes sense. we all want, you know, a safety net that makes sense. enough of a safety net but not too much, you know, trying to find the right balance, but in each state that balance is a little bit different than it is in other states. i just am so thankful to you for working out a way that is -- that recognizes the sensitivities in our part of the country and includes north dakota, and i want to thank senator conrad and senator moven as we try to get something that makes sense to the country. we want to be part of the solution, not part of the prob

we have the immense good fortune of living on a ranch bozeman, montana. we came to teach many years ago. i retired only a few years ago and we had the great luck to buy a ranch only ten miles from bozeman which is the home of montana state university which is the university of the yellow stone. that is relevant to my story. it turns out that for a variety of reasons a very large number, a very high proportion of veterans, have elected to either return to bozeman or select bozeman as a place to retire. the county is a fairly large county. it's approximately half the size of the state of connecticut. but it only has 100,000 people. but that 100,000 people is not exactly a random sample of america. very few people live in bozeman by accident. and no one comes to bozeman to make money. it is a college town. it's in the mountains. it's within -- the town is within 45 minutes of four different ski areas. one of the ski areas is a nonprofit. all of this fits in to the success that warriors and quiet waters has enjoyed. bozeman has less than 100,000 people in the

there's a case out of montana where the supreme court has so far blocked montana's attempts to get out from under citizens united, will very likely agree to hear the case and, perhaps, issue a so-called summary reversal meaning no argument, just a decision or, perhaps, set it down for argument. this is a case where they say whatever you say about the federal government, we in the state of montana can prove we have a history of institutions corrupting our political process and we should be allowed to limit this kind of corporate spending so there is something on the horizon where the court will in some fashion revisit this issue. most people think it's unlikely, though, to move away from the 5-4 decision in citizens united. host: good morning, jane from montana. good morning. caller: good morning. host: please go ahead. caller: yes, i think here in montana, we are very concerned about outsiders coming into our state and spending lots of money that in a way that's directly opposite the opinions in general that are held by montana. i wonder if your guest could discuss that as being really

and i want to thank my fellow westerner senator backus from montana as a co-sponsor on this amendment. i have heard from proconservation groups who have concerns over the current financing requirements for some important conservation easements, namely the scenario where a man wants to voluntarily donate. part of the development value of their land to help finance an easement, but the law limits their ability to do just that madam chairwoman, bennett number one would give the secretary discreti discretion. the issue here is historically we have seen easement dollars that require nonfederal partners disproportionately go to eastern states. many eastern states have wide tax bases to support state programs and in turn help purchase conservation easements. senator backus knows in the west that with a lot less federal land that can be taxed, we see fewer of those dollars. the government received 31% less per state than nonwga states. the sentiments outlined in my amendment were broadly supported by western senators in the letter sent monday, i would like to submit the letter for the record.

he joined hayden's party in montana. they proceeded to fort ellis and soon entered the fabled region of yellowstone. moran worked closely with the expedition photographer, william henry jackson. together they selected the most impressive views. moran made drawings and watercolor sketches, blocking in forms d contours, quickly noting the colors of the terrain and the sulfurous deposits for which yellowstone is named. back in newark, new jersey, moran began what he termed his "big picture," "the grand canyon of the yellowstone." for moran, the spiritual, natural and aesthetic realms should blend to create a great impression. to that end, he combined different points of view into one dramatic panorama. moran explained, the precipitous rocks on the right were really at my back when i stood at that point. yet in their present position, they are strictly true to pictorial nature. my aim was to bring before the public the character of that region. narrator: reporting to congress, hayden suggested that the geyser region of yello

we cover montana, including your ranch. my question is, what will the. [inaudible] due to montana? >> guest: that is the shale. there is debate and anxiety and a lot of enthusiasm for whether it reaches far enough in montana for to be productive. we don't know. it doesn't reach to exactly where we are. my wife had some property. there are rigs all over that part of montana. energy companies dropping letters in mailboxes and we will give you $10,000 cash for energy and rights to your ranch. what is going on in north dakota is not getting enough attention in my judgment. it is a real boom. the california 40 niner boom -- it is by and large, generating a lot of money. but also a lot of social problems as well. elderly people cannot afford to live in their areas anymore because the workers are moving about to some of the smaller towns. they don't have medical and social services that they need. north dakota is doing the best that they can to come to grips with all these issues. but it is a very big deal. >> host: bill in mobile, alabama, you are on the air on booktv on c-span 2 at tom

so this is important for north dakota and montana. senator baucus is from montana appeared as well as for our country. i expect him to be heavily involved in this effort. remember, we have 56 votes in the senate. we were missing several of our members. we have 58 members on board. so the support is growing. the conference but for the first time earlier this week. they said this is a very large conference. but senator in half insured a pretty strong warning to republicans say, look, we have this bill and we worked very hard on it. it has a two-year extension. and the house republicans, either whom are freshmen and are against government spending, they are coming together with the rest of their conference. how do those two things reconcile themselves? how do senate republicans help house republicans in this process? >> we all want to move the highway bill. but this is an important part of getting it passed through both the senate and house. if you look at the bill itself, it is primarily the bill that was put together in the senate so t

i know you from montana. there's small libertarian in montana. do you see the republican side dividing? >> i think the american public is going to speak. i don't care if it's at the courthouse to the white house level. i think the american public shares the values of freedom and privacy. i think they have seen the assault on women this past year. they have said enough. that voice is going to be heard at the ballot box, i think, in november. whether it's the importance of having a pro-choice president in barack obama. whether it's the importance of having leaders in the house in the senate that have stopped some of this insanity that came out having a governor like we do in montana who vetoed this obnoxious legislation. that's the importance of connecting the personal to the political. we have to vote our values. i have great faith in the next generation of millennials that they will connect the personal to the political. >> the president of pro choice america through the end of this year. a lot of people have been curious about your decision and

. >> is there hope that this montana case might be an opportunity for the court to reconsider citizens united? this is the hope of the advocates who say that the evidence of corruption was so great and it was a state election -- stage judicial election, which the supreme court has been more sympathetic to regulating them in general, the hope is jimmie johnson kennedy might say even if citizens united formally stands, judicial corruption is such a big problem -- >> if they want to do it, they'll find a way to do it. >> we started out this conversation by listening to things we thought were essential. i wouldn't be myself if i didn't say diversity is one of the things is critically important. i think we still have an eighth circuit court of appeals that has one woman and has only ever had one woman on it. i don't know if you've seen the recent study by benjamin barton about the profile of our current supreme court justices. we have is a latina, an african-american, but they've all given to harvard or yale. we don't have justices who engaged in preeft practice. thurgood marshall was the l
