he was a mining baron for montana to be paid montana legislators to send him to washington.liams clerk bribery change the way montana grants elections could because of william r., montana passing on 1812, limiting the influence of wealthy corporations of elections. professor johnstone has argued before some of the country's highest court sense that years offending montana's law cabal which guarantees transparency and accountability in elections. transparency and accountability key people at william clark for being able to buy something that all americans are entitled to, the power to vote. it does not matter how much money they have. people in their ideas, not corporations and their money should decide elections. earlier this year, the united states supreme court struck down montana's century-old election law without even hearing the case. not even taken the case, the court decided citizens united applied to the state as well as the federal election laws, which means her back to where we were in the past when seasoned congress is up for sale. vester johnstone will talk about

let's bring in democrat from the tossup state of montana.or jon tester is fighting for re-election against denny rayburg. the ap reported it may come down to who is more montana. senator tester, welcome. you always struck me as the most montana guy on the planet. i don't know why this is an issue, sir. >> i don't know either but i can tell you we've got a close race going. it's going to be close at the end. we knew that since the very beginning, but it's all about what kind of person i am versus my opponent, what kind of records we have, and what the our vision is for the future not only the great state of montana but the country. but it's going to be -- it's been an interesting race. it's going to continue to be an interesting race. i feel good about my chances. >> okay. we have a new poll from montana in the "hardball" scoreboard right now. it's from ppp and you're leading denny ray burg 43 to 45. i guess that adds up. there's four left. not a lot of undecides up there in montana. >> not really. this race has been -- it's been going on for

the people of montana so at corrupt. we will have to see what happens this year, the first in a century, where we do not have a statute in the law, but we have seen the effects of outside corporate spending in our state. >> you testified about a new double standard and how the court treats individual rights devoted versus a corporation's to speak in citizens united. is that a double standard as you see it? does it say about the direction of the court costs approach in laws affecting our democratic process? >> in the past the court's greatest moments are when it stands for a groups of people when they did not have a voice in the political process. these decisions that history backwards by stepping out for well-represented organizations. that is the double standard that is such a departure from what we understand the court to do, to give a voice for those who did not have voices. no one is denying that corporations have a large voice in both american and in montana politics under the corrupt practices act. >> now, what i f

you are running a surplus, are you not, in montana? >> we have cut more taxes for middle class families and run the seven largest budget surpluses in the history of mont montana right through the great recession, and when the republicans refuse to give a raise to our state employees, they refuse to honor the deal we negotiated, i turned to our state employees and said, i tell you what, we're going to give you better benefits because we're going to decrease your co pay for health insurance and give you broadband increases within the law because the republican legislature wouldn't do the right thing when we're sitting on this large budget surplus. >> well, as a guy who loves the outdoors, i'll say you can't fish all the time. where are you going to be in 2016? >> well, i'll just fish in the morning and drink whiskey in the afternoon. >> what kind of whiskey? we're vetting here. >> old whiskey, ed. old whiskey and big fish. >> governor, when do you speak? >> that's kind of a secret, but they're talking about speaking late, not early. >> w

montana.ways more competitive than other red states but pretty consistently in that clump olum president's election. red state, president more popular in the state. how do you navigate that? >> you have to be who you are. things that are going on in washington, d.c., that's washington, d.c. folks in montana, they haven't trusted washington, d.c. for a lot of years. this isn't a new phenomenon. you have to represent your state. you have to tell the people of montana that you're going to help them with that college dream. that you're going to make sure they have a job, their children have a job. the state of montana is going to improve because you are investing in the future. if they believe that, then they'll believe in you. >> what's john testtester's challenge? senator and a congressman? you know, how do you make the anti-washington argument if you're both in washington? >> in mont, only one congressman. he's running for the u.s. senate. they are as well known as each other. it's not like sor

we're number one, montana.na: so what do you think you're excited about when it comes to another term of president obama, what do you think he would give to the american people that would be different than the past four years that would continue job creation? >> well, we're going to continue developing domestic resources. we went from importing 60 % of our oil from foreign dictators to about 40% today. we've got more drilling rigs working in the united states than all the rest of the countries combined, we're creating jobs in the private sector not just in the energy business, but in the technology business. and because we have some of the cheapest natural gas and electricity prices anywhere in the world, we're attracting manufacturing to come back to the united states for the first time in a generation. so we're on the mend. jenna: okay. governor schweitzer, nice to have you today. thanks for sticking with us to answer a whole bunch of questions. we look forward to having you back, sir. thank you. >> thank you

." >> i've been in montana probably 26 years and northern montana for 13 years. we have a lot of beautiful wildlife in montana but the first question everybody asks me is about the grizzly bear, not just the black bear, but the grizzly bear. they think a grizzly bear will come after them when they're hiking or look for them. you'll be hit by lightning before you encounter a grizzly bear while hiking. towards fall, the bears are fattening up for winter. some bears can go their entire lifetimes without eating meat, but sometimes we have a problem with grizzly bears if people leave out cat food for cats or dog food. that's what happened at this farm. two nights before, the grizzly smelled chicken feed and came down here to check it out. the bear came down to eat the chicken feed, not the chickens. he was getting ready to eat the feed and he swatted the chicken and tasted the chicken and thought, man, i like the chickens! but the bear didn't know that the family was ready for his return because they'd called the montana department of fish, wildlife and parks that put

the montana people saw it correct. have to see what happens this year or we do not have the protection of the law. i believe we are seeing the effects of outside corporate spending in our state. >> there is this double standard. do you see this as a double standard? >> its greatest moments have been when it stand up for people who do not have a voice in the political process. these decisions and get those completely backwards. that is the double standard that is such a departure from what we understand the court to do. it is supposed to give a voice to those who do not have one. i do not think anyone is denying that corporate has a large voice. >> what i find interesting is that there are an awful lot of hearings on these matters. we have had hundreds of hours of hearings, both republican and democratic chairs in the house and in the senate. to strike down montana's 100- year law without a hearing and without any consideration of what these legislatures and the congress -- does that strike you as odd? >> mr. chairman,

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 brinbefore the public the character of that region. narrator: reporting to congress, hayden suggested that the geyser region of yellows

let's go to montana. this is a red state. you have an incumbent democrat senator with tester. who will win this one? everyone says this is the coin balancing on the edge. >> a few points all year. the thing -- they're both basically statewide officials because montana only has one congressman. he's been on the ballot multiple times. two entrenched incumbents going toe to toe. completely saturated with pretty tough ads on both sides. watch the presidential race here. if obama is doing real well and like you think is going to blow this thing out of the water and even does better than expected in montana, he can help tester. but if romney gets a big edge or even if romney doesn't win the presidency but outperforms in montana, that could sweep away tester and allow reberg to send through. there is not a lot of undecideds left in that race. it is getting the partisan voters out. >> eliot: tester has won away from the president. you wonder whether that is going to help tester or not. maybe he's backed himself into a corner a little unnecessarily by running away from the president qu

do you think montana is out of reach for the president?% last time, the best since lbj. you know, clinton won montana, but he only got it with 41% because old big ears got more than any place else in the country. >> big ears big perot. >> ifill: you were well received four years ago. people were throwing things they were so happy when you came out. what has happened since then? what has your role in the party blown up because of that? >> well, what's happened since then? montana has won seven consecutive years with the largest budget surpluses in history. i've cut more taxes than any time in history. we've invested more in education and we found out that during the last few years montana's increasing the% of her population with a college degree fastest in the country, number one. >> ifill: that's all good news, governor. >> warner: i won't demote you anymore, the give of the state of montana. coming up now, craig robinson and maya soetoro. she is barack obama's sister. he is michelle obama's brother. >> from the great state of hawaii, i'm

montana is the true toss up.le claire mccatskill may have been ahead in missouri, but now it may be jon tester. the washington money is pouring in. the campaigns are pouring $3 million into montana governor, and in a medium market, that's pretty cheap and $3 million about a long way. it's getting tighter and tighter and jon tester is a true toss up. >> eliot: $3 million in a state like that you can buy every second on tv. that's saturation on steroids. one thing that i've noticed on that race is that tester is running away from president obama and so much so he creates in his voter sense that if think guy is so embarrassed by his party. he is so hesitant to embrace anything of the democratic party. >> president obama was never going to win in montana anyway, but it shows how short his coattails are in a lot of places. jon tester running far away from him. north dakota running far away from him. claire mccatskill has not gone out of her way. that's the way this race is. that's the way of the west sometimes. >> eli

first ppl montana versus montana. this is another relatively rare case where the supreme court unanimously decided to some extent at least in favor of property owners relative to the government. so, this case arose from a situation where montana which if it is going to refer to ppl from now one they ro utility using three riverbeds in the state of montana in some cases going back all the way to the 1890's to generate power through hydroelectric dams and other means. for all that time, they had been paying rent to the federal government for the use of the river bed on the assumption that the federal government was in fact be one of the land. however, beginning several years ago as an outgrowth of a private lawsuit against the power company, the state of montana suddenly began to assert no weakening of the federal government, now the owners of the river beds, therefore they said ppl owed them at least $41 million in back rent just for the to recover from 2000 to 2007. even though montana have for over a century never ch

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
