Cowboy State Politics

Author of the book Rules for Defeating Radicals, Chris Adamo, made the news and he didn't even know it.  I called him to get his reaction to the story about christian TV stars all the sudden supporting not so christian things.  We also discussed why there really are socialists and communists campaigning for high office.

Joseph Kaufman is running for congress in Florida's 23rd District.  He is a counter-terrorism expert and he knows the Crown Prince of Iran.  We had a great discussion about what is actually happening here at home and in the Middle East.

Someone was wearing a Mark Gordon suit at the Ramaco Ribbon Cutting.  What he said was completely different than his usual climate change nonsense.  Rep. Harriet Hageman joins the program to discuss the Big Beautiful Bill and we try to figure out what the Senate Parliamentarian's role actually is.

Shocking Audio from the Management Audit Committee.  State Government Department of Audit Employee calls his job "A JOKE!" This is a must listen to episode!

Many of the Republicans in the Wyoming Legislature want you to believe that the Freedom Caucus passed bills that seriously damaged your liberties.  Teton County Democrat Mike Yin recently wrote an op-ed in the Cow Pie that claims just that.  The only problem is he didn't provide a single example to back up what he was saying.  The truth?  It's exactly the opposite of what he is saying.

Why did the Wyoming Tribune Eagle publish a clearly anti-American op-ed the day after Independence Day?  It's not because they're interested in presenting both sides, that's not their style.  It's because that's the prevailing opinion of their editorial board.  Regardless, the headline on their opinion section the day after Independence Day: We Shouldn't Have Won (The Revolution).

We were in a very different place a year ago.  Many of us didn't know if our country would survive.  But things have changed.  This July 5th, it's important to remember so maybe we don't repeat the same mistakes.  The place we should start is with THE Declaration.

The Wyoming legislature has said no to nuclear waste storage numerous times.  But when Senate President "Bo" Biteman traveled to Florida he said something entirely different.  He wants the radioactive waste.  Cowboy State Politics has obtained exclusive audio of him making all of those comments.

Dr Taylor Haynes joins me to discuss Wyoming's relationship with the federal government.  He had a proposal when he was running for governor to take back Wyoming's land from the federal government.  He says that's the correct avenue and not the one Mike Lee was proposing.

They Wyoming left and the media constantly claims that the Freedom Caucus only focuses on national issues.  Two of the newest members of the media crowd, Amy Edmonds and Jake from the Cow Pie had to join in.  The problem is, the facts never line up with their rhetoric.

Reid Rasner has been sending out cease and desist letters to his detractors for infringing on his copyrights.  He actually claims that his face is copyrighted.  There's one wrinkle though, he's claiming to own the copyright for a logo that is actually owned by someone else.  I told you it's confusing.

Documents obtained by Cowboy State Politics show that failed U.S. Senate candidate Reid Rasner has been sending cease and desist letters to his detractors.  He also claims to own the copyright to a logo already owned by someone else.  With Reid, you just can't make this stuff up!

We finally took out Iran's nuclear sites.  Now, the media and congress are up in arms claiming that Trump's actions are unconstitutional.  But are they?  The short answer, no.  Beyond that, it was the right thing to do anyway.

The sale of federal public lands has been blowing up in the media and social media.  All the posts refer to a map that supposedly showing where those lands are at.  No one is asking who made the map and if it is at all accurate.  Spoiler, it's not and it was made by some very shady people--one of whom is a radical Democrat in Wyoming.

Rep Hageman called in to Open Line Friday today to talk about the land sale in the Big Beautiful Bill.  In short, the land sale is strictly targeted and isn't going to result in your favorite fishing hole being sold.

Replay of Cowboy State Politics Live June 19.  The Democrats must denounce all of the No Kings Protests.  Trump has the largest spike in wages since 1969.  Who is the Shah of Iran?

Boom! 350,000 Downloads!  Democrat Rep Trey Sherwood from Laramie joins me to talk about so-called affordable housing, guns and a whole bunch of other stuff we disagree about.  It's a great conversation.

Tomorrow, Democrat Rep Trey Sherwood from Laramie joins me to talk about guns in schools, affordable housing and we have a difference of opinion about the Constitution.
