In this episode, Kenny and Jay are joined by Ryan Callaghan—CEO of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, lifelong Westerner, hunter, and fierce public lands advocate—for a wide-ranging discussion on some of the biggest conservation battles happening right now.

Ryan breaks down the controversial Oregon PEACE Act (Initiative Petition 28), a ballot measure that could criminalize hunting, fishing, trapping, livestock practices, pest control, potentially devastating rural economies, wildlife management, and generations of outdoor heritage in the state.

He also dives into the fight over Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, where efforts to open lands upstream for sulfide mining threaten one of America’s most iconic wilderness canoe areas, pristine waters, and the recreation economy it supports.

Plus, Ryan shares insights on wilderness in the West, shifting animal patterns and migrations, habitat challenges, public lands policy, and everything in between—from practical conservation wins to the cultural importance of hunting and fishing as tools for wildlife management.

Inside California’s Gay-Certification Program

The state is pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts to “LGBT” businesses.

The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California’s 39 million residents.

In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.

After hours of public comment and sometimes heated debate at the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board meeting on Wednesday, board members voted to begin decommissioning the Minnehaha off-leash recreation area. 

All but one board member supported the decision, which is part of the Minnehaha Regional Park long-term plan.

The board heard from dozens of people, including many dog owners who said they have been using the park for more than 30 years. 

Members of the Indigenous community argued the land is a sacred Dakota site with thousands of years of history.
