It takes their ability to be producers away from them.

It aids in the fight against wildfire, and that is because we have been able to go around the Federal Government.

We do. But I would say the Black Hills National Forest is known as one of the best-managed forests in our country.

The diversity of that perspective helps us make better decisions. When we hear those different opinions, we make better policy decisions.

As a governor you need to get things done, and accomplished, and do what is best for people. And we work on a bipartisan basis every single day.

One thing that really frustrates me about the current Administration is that they will be deceptive when they say a rule is proposed for one reason, when their real objective is another reason.

I am just a big believer that we have lost our nation's work ethic, and we need to remember why we have one.

it lacks any scientific data or analysis that what we are doing today is not providing conservation.

It is an important discussion that everyone has with their bank, or whoever is financing them on what their operating note needs to be.

What is interesting to me is that, if you read the rule and the analysis the BLM has put out on the rule, it is that they have done no economic evaluation.

If Americans have to follow the NEPA process, then the Federal Government should have to follow the NEPA process.

This proposed rule absolutely allows them to look at large landscapes and to shut the public out from accessing it.

When a country controls our food supply and our energy supply, they will control us, and American freedom will be gone.

What they are doing in this rule is putting conservation efforts, based on no definition of what those conservation efforts are or what they should be, and placing them above every other use.

And I want to remind all of you of your responsibility here at this Committee. It is to protect the United States of America.

When we choose not to manage, we make a management decision.

It takes decisions we make regarding our wildlife and how we operate away from us, and gives it to the Federal Government. It is about control.

In a heartbeat. We would beat them every day of the week.
