Some legislators get an elitist attitude when they have been in the legislature too long.  Ogden Driskill is a perfect example of that.  While Senate President he never would have allowed the behavior he has exhibited over the years.  One thing's for certain, he's a never-ending source of soundbites.

We should start referring to comments on social media as exactly what they are.  Most of them have no support or evidence to back up their claims--they're just inane noise; which, is mostly what you get from the Redcoats.  My advice, just ignore them.

After the closing of 8 newspapers, you'd think the Wyoming media would take stock of where they're at--what they could do to improve.  But they didn't.  Media outlets continued in their biased coverage and one of them published an editorial openly admitting that they are the gate-keepers of information.

Replay of Cowboy State Politics Live August 7.  The closing of 8 Wyoming newspapers.  Why the media is failing and where they went wrong.  That, and much much more.

Legislators ask you to trust them on a whole host of issues.  You shouldn't trust them on anything.  As Reagan said, "Trust but verify."  Some of the Senators and Representatives are asking for your trust; but those same people really didn't act in your best interests during COVID.  Trust the Science is what we were all told.  Not again!

There's been some push back to some of the legislative ratings sites.  The scrutiny is absolutely legitimate.  Know what the goal and agenda of the site is before you make a decision to trust the results or not.

Join host David Iverson in this engaging episode of Cowboy State Politics as we delve into a thought-provoking roundtable discussion featuring prominent Wyoming representatives. Broadcasting from the base of the bighorns, David and his guests explore the Wyoming Freedom Caucus's principles amidst recent political controversies and media narratives.

In the first segment, the conversation unpacks the labeling of the Freedom Caucus as the 'new right' by local media and examines its implications. Guests John Bear, Bill Allemand, Chris Knapp and Agent 29 offer insights into conservative values and clarify misconceptions related to capitalism and government intervention.

The episode then shifts to an intensive debate on nuclear energy and the potential establishment of nuclear waste storage in Wyoming. Representatives share genuine concerns about safety, federal influence, and community impact, particularly highlighting the need for transparency and cautious policy making.

As the discussion unfolds, listeners are encouraged to engage with multifaceted views on conservatism, political labeling, and Wyoming's strategic decisions, providing a comprehensive overview of current state politics.

Senator Jim Anderson is the Senate Chairman of the minerals committee.  He also doesn't care if you know what he really thinks.  During this past week's interim meeting, Anderson repeatedly swore on the microphone.  He also allowed Ogden Driskill to basically call other legislators liars and attack the Freedom Caucus--something what would absolutely not be allowed on the legislative floor.

Speaker of the Wyoming House, Chip Neiman joins the program for a wide ranging interview.  The explosive minerals committee meeting, if he is going to run for governor and much more.

Sheridan Attorney Seth Shumaker doesn't exactly see things the same way as the former chief justice.  After the interview with Kate Fox, I wanted a different perspective--certainly lawyers have a different view of things.  Though it's a complete shock, I found a pretty conservative one!

Gail Symons wants you to believe we live in democracy.  She says that everyone should read what the founders wrote.  I agree; she should too.  Symons has a history of making contradictory comments.  This is the most recent example.  It's the Cow Pie's latest attempt at convincing you of something that's not true.
