two rangers -- there's a famous story the rangers like to tell. they show up outside of taft.nd they see a brothel is rising on this public land, on the people's land on this national forest and they go back to their little place and they telegraph to missoula two undesirable prostitutes setting business on government land. what should we do? and the chief ranger cables back, get two desirable ones. [laughter] >> i was reading on my tour and a woman approached me. she had that telegram. it was her grandfather who sent back get two desirable ones. [laughter] >> the rangers love this story because that's what they were up against. a ranger in montana is shot and killed. and no one is charged. the person who killed him said, well, i thought he was a deer. so this is how their thought. they're not well thought of. they're harassed in the woods. gold mining goes on. logging goes on. town-building goes on. prostitution goes on. and certainly salooning goes on. there's these saloons rising here and there because there's all of these people loose in the woods. it's wide open. it's dea

one ranger accidentally shot his own horse for not giving the proper password. another got carried off by a watch dog. the entire group fell down the hill falling into a creek and sam clemens sprained his ankle when he jumped out of a burning barn he set on fire by smoking in bed. the rangers did so much marching and countermarching that one farmer said they were bound -- no government could stand the cost of the issue that it would take to follow them around. mark twain agreed and by the time he left the rangers himself he said he knew more about retreating than the man who invented retreating. he left the rangers after three weeks without bothering to formally resign and went back to st. louis and hid out in his sister's house for three weeks the torn -- surprising is that he had been named secretary to the governor of nevada territory. he even had a formal piece of paper signed by abraham lincoln himself to show it. he was dead broke. and mark twain offered to pay to take him along. in 1961 they both went to the territory and for the next 21 days were constan

forest rangers because the early rangers were called the rangers because they would literally draw the a scene in my book where congress has had enough of roosevelt creating these national peace national forest that they pass a law saying you could not do it any more. but, pinchot and roosevelt to say they are going to do one more executive order and signed a bill outlawing a new national forest. so they have six days to do this and they have these rangers bring all these maps to the white house so roosevelt is sitting on the floor of the road to the white house going over these maps of the west saying good god you have to put the flathead valley in their. i was up there once and saw an enormous herd of elk. the snake river moscow as well so he is drawing-- so they have the power of creation. they would send these rangers out and they would say, before they were shot dead in chase, there was no better job. i called the section of my book, in creation because you are looking at this virgin wilderness in this as you are to rain. you are deciding how this thing is going to go. it is fasci

the rangers weren't exactly the crack outfit.they spent most of their time arguing about strategy, falling off their horses and constantly retreating from what they imagined where hordes of union soldiers. one preacher asked him to shut his own horse one night for not giving the proper password. [laughter] another guy carried off by a watchdog in the entire group managed to fall down the hillside one night into a creek and sam clemens sprained his ankle when he jumped out of a burning barn that he set on fire in the first place by smoking in bed. in fact, the rangers did so much marching and counter marching that when a farmer in the area said if they're bound to win the war off by themselves, because no government can ban the cost and expense of the shoe whether it would take to follow them around. twain agreed in by the time he left the rangers themselves he said he already knew more about retreating than the man that invented retreating. twain left american rangers after about three weeks without bothering to formally resign a

yes, i wish there was less ranger and bipartisanship in the u.s.bout serve. you made it clear what it's not about. what is it about. >> i've served in elected office since 26 years old, unlike a lot of people who served since midlife, 30s, 40s, 50s, i have served in elected office for 30 years. so only in the senate would it be shocking for someone in their mid-60s who has served for 40 years to announce their retirement. i want to do some other things in life. this has been a great privilege. it's time, i think. >> what's the one thing you would change about the senate or the way congress works, if you could? >> well, i know the rules are cumbersome, dating back 20 years, described as the saucer that cools the coffee. things don't get done quickly. this is not a place where things are done efficiently or quickly or perhaps effectively. it's frustrating for that reason. i think what we're seeing is some of the rules that are being abused. i mean, you know, the filibuster was never intended to be used 100 times in a year. that doesn't make sense. >>

the model in el monte county created over 1,000 subsidized jobs in one year, jobs like park rangers, teacher's assistance. they got paid up to 40 hours per week. the employer provided 20% of the wage cost and the federal government provided the rest. the reason it succeeded is that it was a win-win for both small business and workers. main street businesses like armstrong ties in lyndon, tennessee, which uses this program to add 10 employees by, buy new equipment, increase production and expand their distribution, that's a big step forward for a little bakery. workers in this program can sleep better at night knowing they can put food on the table. i have a letter that i'd like inserted in the record. she says, it's been a little over three months since i began this job and i have to say it's changed my life so much in this little time. i've been able to get off cash aid and prove myself to an employer without being judgmental. i think it's important for my children to see me actively working and show my children that having good work ethic is key in life. i just can't be thankful en
