Caught our ear:

“I did not support the ballot initiative in Montana for legalizing recreational marijuana,” Daines says. “I believe strongly in SAFE Banking — it’s a public safety issue — but I don’t support legalizing cannabis for recreational use.”

TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Steve Daines

Matt Laslo: “Hey senator, hearing rumors that the DEA might deschedule — or reschedule — marijuana on their own in April. What would your reaction be if they did that?”

Steve Daines: “Well, look, I did not support the ballot initiative in Montana for legalizing recreational marijuana. I believe strongly in SAFE Banking — it’s a public safety issue — but I don’t support legalizing cannabis for recreational use.”

ML: “If the DEA moves, is that gonna imperil SAFE banking?”

SD: “I don’t think so.”

ML: “‘I don’t think so.’ Thank you!”

Laslo always repeats into his mic what lawmakers tell him from a distance.
