The Ranch Podcast

Phil McGrane is the Secretary of State of Idaho and came in to speak about the fundamental burdens and issues on small business owners created by the Corporate Transparency Act. The CTA is attempting to give more transparency to the federal government about who has an interest in corporations to fight large scale crimes like money laundering and terrorism, but it also creates horrendous problems and risks for our small businesses. If you or someone you know owns a small business, I highly recommend you share this and give it a listen.www.theRanchPodcast.orgThe Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho.

Colonel Bill Gardiner is the Director of Idaho State Police. He has been in the department for almost three decades and was directly appointed by Gov. Brad Little. ISP works with all 44 sheriff offices throughout the state of Idaho to assist in all manner of law enforcement efforts, including search and rescue operations. ISP must ask the state directly for funding needs, and its budget is approved or denied by Idaho’s legislative body. Colonel Gardiner came in to shed light on some of their recent budget requests and decisions, and along the way, I learned about the Buzz Lightyear run of 2000.

Dr. David Pate is the former President and CEO of St. Luke’s Health System. He was a consistent voice for the medical community and medical response during the recent pandemic. He also recently co-authored a book titled, Preparing for the Next Global Outbreak: A guide to planning from the schoolhouse to the White House. Dr. Pate came in to discuss, among other things, culture and concerns around vaccines and the medical system. He was incredibly open about mistakes that were made in recent years but also had phenomenal insights into why certain things were done that I had no idea about. I am incredibly grateful that he was willing to come in and speak about this issue, especially knowing that no matter what is said, there will be one side that is happy and one side that is upset. His thoughts certainly helped me understand that there’s a middle ground that people can occupy.

Dr. John Tribble has been a practicing Emergency Medicine physician for the last 13 years, he is a current family medicine MD at the Heart 2 Heal Clinic, and is a sitting board member of SW District Health in Idaho. SW District Health became the first in the country to remove “The Shot” from its offerings. This was done through a board vote, and the therapy was voted to be removed 4 to 3. I asked Dr. Tribble to come on to understand what the compelling reasons were to take this step, especially considering that no one else at the time had done it. Following this interview, I had the good fortune of interviewing Dr. David Pate who was an integral part of the Idaho medical response in recent years. That episode will be published the day after Dr. Tribble. I had to start a Rumble channel for The Ranch Podcast because just uploading this conversation with Dr. Tribble to YouTube triggered an automatic censorship and the video was removed immediately. I am very thankful for both Dr. Tribble and Dr. Pate for taking the time to discuss their positions and thoughts, and I look forward to more conversations with both of them.

Gary Raney is a former sheriff in Ada County, Idaho. He worked in law enforcement for decades and understands the history and nuances of different groups that have varying interpretations of the Constitution and views of our social contract.

Nick Fasciano is the executive director of the Idaho Wildlife Federation, Idaho’s oldest and largest statewide conservation organization promoting the conservation of Idaho’s wildlife heritage and legacy of sporting opportunities. There has been much discussion about the mismanagement of Idaho's public lands by the BLM, and some, including the Idaho GOP, feel we should limit and reduce the amount of land owned or administered by the federal government. Nick was able to shed light on the major problems with taking over management and ownership of our incredible public lands. If we want to preserve this incredible resource for future generations, these are key considerations.

Dexton Lake is the son of a rancher and works for the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation. One of his areas of focus is wildlife management and support for farmers and ranchers that experience depredation (wildlife causing harm to domesticated crops or animals), which is a huge issue in the state of Idaho with no easy solution. I love learning more about the ag world and what people have to do to make sure our stores are constantly stocked with protein and produce.

Eli “The Coffee Guy” is a recent Idaho addition, working in corrections and having moved from Southern California. As a hispanic young man, he was told a lot about what the world was and why he had less than other people. As a man, he finds the narrative he experienced to be incredibly inappropriate and limiting. He is also part of a broader movement of Latino and Hispanic communities moving away from the Democratic Party because, among other things, he feels the party no longer represents their values or a path to prosperity. His views were incredibly enlightening.
