Cowboy State Politics

Complete audio from Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray's town hall in Buffalo on May 20, 2023

Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray held a town hall in Buffalo over the weekend.  He spoke on a number of issues; the first one he tackled was how the ban on cross-over voting became law.  Also, Susan Stubson pens an op-ed for the New York Times about Christian Nationalism in Wyoming....whatever that is.

Albert Sommers penned another op-ed in the Cow Pie on Friday.  Apparently he thinks he knows what a conservative is.  Too bad his record is anything but that.  Cyrus held a town hall recently.  His constituents weren't too happy with him.

An undercover investigation into drag shows in Rock Springs.  The shows, though charity themed events, have numerous children present.  At least one of them was supported by a prominent Wyoming Representative.  Also, I confronted UW President Ed Seidel about the drag show at UW.  His response was interesting.  Link to Youtube footage of the investigation: https://youtu.be/PQq36nx7BbQ

Sean and Ashley WIlley are suing the Sweetwater County School District.  The WIlley's allege that the district socially transitioned their daughter behind their back.  Also, Cyrus Western gets more than he bargained for at his town hall on Saturday.

Worland Rep Martha Lawley held a town hall event this week.  It was an hour-long lecture on how a bill becomes law and a brief Q&A.  At the end she became upset because the event was recorded; even though, she knew from the very beginning that it was.

An undercover investigation has revealed that the University of Wyoming is sponsoring profane drag shows on the UW campus.  One was attended by a university administrator who did nothing to stop it.  Documents reveal that UW is attempting to change the entire direction of the school in favor of gender centered education.  Youtube link to the video portion of the episode: https://youtu.be/vjHIDNFrdd8

Frank Eathorne was re-elected as Chairman of the Wyoming Republican Party in a landslide.  The media led you to believe that his challenger had a chance.  It turns out though it's not Chairman Frank who's out of step.

The Gillette City Council approved a new hate crime ordinance on first reading.  Hate crime law are about free speech and have nothing to do with crime.

Frank Moore and why he's running for State GOP Chairman, Joey Correnti weighs in.  The destruction of our collective identity, gas stoves and more.

There isn't much that's known about Frank Moore.  He's running for Wyoming Republican Party Chairman and claims that he wants to bring the party together.  Judging by who is friends in the media are, that's the last thing that he wants.  Senators are objecting to Sen Driskill's removal of Sen Kinskey as Appropriations Chair. 

Rep Harriet Hageman was the keynote speaker at this year's Crook County Lincoln Day Dinner.  It was a fabulous affair.  Though she spoke for around 20 minutes, here is the last half of what she had to say.

Sen Ogden Driskill has attempted to remove Sen Kinskey as Appropriations Chair.  He doesn't have the power to.  But that didn't stop him from setting up a committee to enforce his decision.

Replay of Cowboy State Politics Live from April 27.  Joey Correnti joins me for the full hour.  Speaking the truth will prevail.  Tucker Carlson's exit; the "fracture" in the Wyoming GOP and a lady dressed as a cat.

Every year the Wyoming Legislature proposes around 600 new laws but we don't enforce the laws we already have.  During the Joint Judiciary Committee meeting that was held in Sheridan this week, it was abundantly clear that we aren't enforcing the laws that we do have.  The Sweetwater County School District Number 1 has responded to the lawsuit.  Their answer? It's all made up.

Rock Springs parents, Ashley and Sean WIlley, are suing the Sweetwater County School District No 1 for transitioning their daughter behind their back.  The school board attorney claims that "it's settled law" that misgendering a student is sexual harassment.

Crash dummies now need gender equity.  I'm not kidding.  The Sheridan County Republican Party held a Patriot Chat on Thursday.  At the end there were some fireworks about the Wyoming Caucus.

Replay of Cowboy State Politics Live.  Guest: Rep Jeanette Ward.  ESG, Frank Eathorne (kind of) has an opponent.  Joe MacGuire wants a debate and more!

University of Wyoming Professor George Mocsary is one of the foremost experts on the Second Amendment.  Cutting through all of the political noise surrounding guns, we discussed what the true purpose of the Second Amendment is.  He reviews some of the recent court cases and explains what they mean to you.

The Cow Pie earns their name one more time.  They claim that all of the legislative ranking websites are from a "staunchly conservative viewpoint."  It's not true and if they stopped cheer leading for once, they'd realize it.

Rep Karlee Provenza sent a letter to all of her colleagues in the Wyoming House.  Everyone in the media called it an "apology."  It couldn't be farther from one.  But it is one that we should expect from someone with a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology.

Our legislators are claiming to have come up with a novel idea for fixing property taxes.  But it is neither their idea nor is it novel.  It comes from something ominous called Tax Reform 2000.  It's goal is a statewide income tax.

Management Council is a committee of the legislature that directs a lot of what transpires in the legislature.  They decide what topics get discussed during the interim, who gets investigated and who gets subpoenaed.  You can only guess what they decided to study during this interim.

School officials at Worland High School have decided not to teach the American revolution.  A teacher at the school wrote a letter telling parents about it.

Think CRT in Wyoming isn't happening?  Saturday, I'll take you to Worland, Wyoming where the American Revolution is being removed from the social studies curriculum.

Provenza's tweet shouldn't have surprised anyone.  She has a long history of posting inflammatory calls to the radical left.  My thoughts on President Trump's "indictment." Shocker, WyoRino's legislative rankings show the same thing as the other two.

There are only a few reasons why 31 Republicans would vote with the Democrats most of the time.  One of them could be simple corruption.  Listen for yourself and decide.

Deep withing the budget there could be some massive funding for a remote and dilapidated town in the Big Horn Basin, but why?

Rep Cyrus Western and Bill Novotny have been referred to the Wyoming Attorney General for investigation and possible prosecution.  My interview with the man who claims he can prove widespread election fraud in every state in America.  There are questions about our elections, but can they be proven?

On Wedneday's installment of the program, I'll interview Dr. Douglas Frank.  He claims there's widespread fraud in Wyoming elections.  There was no head nodding in this interview--he got asked some serious questions.

Sen Hicks proposed to spend $3 million to help Texas with our southern border but he was focusing on the wrong one.  The Red Star thinks cash bail is harmful to defendants.

Wyoming is once again trying to convince the feds to de-list the grizzly bear from the Endangered Species Act.  There was a hearing in the Natural Resources committee about legislation that would do that.  What unfolded can only be described as buffoonery.

Rep Cyrus Western claims his "conservative" record speaks for itself.  He keeps using that word... But, he's right!  It does speak for itself.  Ron Miskin of the Buffalo Wool Company joins me to talk about agriculture and his company.  Contest!!  If you want to win some socks, listen to this program to find out how!

Rep Cyrus Western was censured by the Sheridan County GOP during its quarterly meeting Saturday.

House leadership seems to be in favor of gender ideology, diversity, equity and inclusion and not parental rights.  They didn't do anything of consequence regarding education.  So, it's up to parents.  Before the session ended I sat down with the ladies that run Parents Defending Education.

Cowboy State Politics Live March 16, 2023.  Executive orders on guns; Uinta County's 'traditional' Republicans and more.

Rep Hageman held a town hall in Buffalo on March 14.  She covered a wide range of topics--everything from the federal debt, Fauci, AI, her vote for Kevin McCarthy and her thoughts on the 2023 Legislative Session.  It was interesting who WAS NOT in attendance.  It was a fantastic discussion.

The Red Star published an op-ed claiming we aren't aren't a Christian nation.  We certainly started out that way but are we still one?  It claims that the Freedom Caucus is to blame for all of our state's problems. 

What all of your legislators are calling property tax reform couldn't be farther from it.  Really it's a bait and switch to get you to vote for them...again.

Rep Harriet Hageman responds to what happened (or didn't) in this year's legislative session.  She responds to criticism from state lawmakers and weighs in on the impact of passed legislation.  She also discusses some of her priorities in the U.S. House.

On Wednesday, U.S. Representative Harriet Hageman joins me for an exclusive interview.

Our representatives are home and they have all kinds of stories to tell us.  None of them are really true of course, but at least there's lots for them to talk about.  There really is no tax reform and they killed just about every bill that we cared about.

Gold was one bill debated this past week.  The discussion exposes how clueless House leadership is.  In Governor Gordon's closing remarks he once again said we are relying on the federal government--the last thing we should be doing.

Replay of Cowboy State Politics Live from March 2.  Cyrus Western.  How completely biased the Wyoming media is and how they try to drive policy.

The WY House killed the Convention of States Resolution 21-41--a clear message.  Some great speeches from the floor.  Landon Brown makes some ill advised tweets. And there's a whole bunch of stuff that Youtube doesn't show you about the Wyoming Legislature.
