• Agent 29: Words Mean Things Jake 3/18
    Mar 18 2026

    Agent 29 appeared on the Cowboy State Daily morning show this morning. It was masterpiece theater. There was a discussion about the budget, recalibration and a few others. But the fireworks started when Jake tried to cast budget reductions as "drastic." It just went down hill from there.

    Ken's response? Words mean things.

  • Monday Reload - Water, Truck Drivers and the Election w/ Rep Hageman 3/16
    Mar 16 2026

    Rep Hageman held several town halls across the eastern half of Wyoming this past week. I caught up with her in Wheatland.

    Wyoming is in the middle of a Winter drought. Snow packs are down and most of the state has seen more of 60 degrees than 6. This summer, there's going to be a huge problem with water--not just for Wyoming but the surrounding states. I asked Harriet what we can expect.

    A big question on everyone's mind is the SAVE America Act that appears to be hung up in the Senate. I got a few answers from our Representative on that.

  • Weekend Update - McFarland's Many "Mischaracterizations." 3/14
    Mar 14 2026

    Many journalists have a problem reporting facts accurately. The biggest problem though is their own political activism in their reporting. That often happens in Wyoming media. There's no better example than how the media behaved this legislative session. It didn't matter if they had verified their facts, often they just ran with it.

    In one example, the author decided to misquote me, take me out of context and not tell the truth about what actually happened.

  • Breaking: "Check" Capitol Security Footage Deleted 3/11
    Mar 11 2026

    Security footage of the entrance to the Legislative Service Office during the time of the "check incident" has been deleted. The Wyoming Highway Patrol, in response to an open records request by The Open Range Record, said the videos had "timed out of the system" and are no longer available.

    This is a shocking development considering that a criminal investigation is ongoing. It also raises serious questions about the integrity of the investigation and how the legislature deals with the public's right to know.

  • Republicans Who Aren't and Their Resolutions 3/9
    Mar 9 2026

    Over the weekend, two resolutions of censure showed up in county GOP meetings. Both of them failed miserably. The reasons they were brought have nothing to do with anything Republican and everything to do with personal squabbles. All political organizations have to have money to operate; so it doesn't make sense to try to prevent anyone from raising money.

    But that is exactly what the Teton County GOP and Taylor Allred attempted to do.

    Also, the Cow Pie (CSD) takes a stab at describing what a Republican is. Their attempt reveals more about who the Cowboy State Daily is than anything.

  • Guns and Other Things the Media Doesn't Know About 3/7
    Mar 7 2026

    The Wyoming Association of Sheriff's and Chiefs of Police has been loudly advocating against the Second Amendment Protection Act Amendments (SF101). A lot of their testimony has not been entirely accurate. The House Appropriations committee, when hearing the bill, exposed a lot of it.

    The Cowboy State Daily has played right along with them publishing an article full of inaccuracies. No surprise there! All they had to do was read the bill.

  • There's Nothing There But Lobbyists 3/5
    Mar 5 2026

    In a rare Thursday episode, the results of the Special Investigative Committee. Surprise there's nothing there. What's more interesting is what the Washut's committee DID NOT investigate.

    While the check incident was going on, Senate President Dennis Biteman allowed a lobbyist access to the Senate floor.

    The Sheridan Press used a photo of a slain Sheridan police officer to push a political narrative.

  • Monday Reload - Kylie Wall and the HB159 Fight 3/2
    Mar 2 2026

    Kylie Wall is the Natrona County High student who faced massive backlash from school staff for starting a TPUSA Club America chapter. Her signs were torn down, she was told what she could and could not do--even in her free time. Now, her chapter is up and running.

    A bill she is supporting, HB159, is making its way through the Wyoming Legislature. She joined me for an interview over the weekend.
