On the Floor of the house Art Washut accused another member of reading a script that had been given to them. There are a bunch of people who read from their phones and their computers but Art never says anything about that.

Here's the link to the article I mentioned in the show:

There are several gun bills moving through the Wyoming Legislature. Mark Jones, National Director for Gun Owners of America joins me to run through all of them.

He joined me on the new Open Range Record program, The Roundup. It's a full hour of gun talk!

Governor Gordon issued an exec order banning political contributions on state grounds. The only problem is he really can't do that--he can't even accomplish that inside the Capitol Building itself. It is a political stunt. And there's a little problem of him transferring $150,000.00 to his Prosperity and Commerce PAC. Yes, it's named PAC PAC.

A lot of what you're seeing is political theater; most of it is un-tethered from reality.

There was a rally Friday at the Capitol that was billed and permitted as an "Equality Rally." Really, it was an anti-ICE, anti-law enforcement rally. Sarah Burlingame of Wyoming Equality submitted the permit. What transpired was over 100 people--mostly school children screaming, impeding traffic and denigrating law enforcement.

It's Valentine's Day, and I certainly can't let the day pass without giving a present to my favorite group of people, the Redcoats. Marilyn Connoly, Julie Jarvis, Elisa Campbell, Ken Clouston and others have gone full blown Democrat. When the final session numbers are done, Democrat Mike Yin will have voted with the Republicans more than this group.

AND, Landon Brown thinks he's a Ronald Reagan Republican. Not kidding, he said that on the CSD Morning Show. The fun is just beginning for the 2026 Budget Session.

Rep Hageman joined the program this morning. Today, she has U.S. Atty General Pam Bondi in front of her committee. Though I haven't really been interested in talking about Epstein, this seemed like a good opportunity to get the scoop on it.

Turns out, there's a very good reason why a lot of those records haven't been released. Also, I asked Rep Hageman "Why haven't we seen a bunch of people in handcuffs?" It's a great discussion!

The legislature kicked off today with the usual pomp and circumstance. The only remarkable thing about Gordon's speech was what he didn't talk about--climate change. He probably thought that'd be unpopular so instead he lectured legislators how they should do things his way. He also promised that he would always defend Wyoming's right to export our resources.

Too bad, the legislature gave him the money to do that in 2019 and he vetoed the bill.

Also, you know you've made it when the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refers to your show in the State of the Judiciary speech. All I can say is I'm not the one full of misinformation.

Sen Eric Barlow helped found the non-profit 501c(3) Edible Prairie Project. Its goal is to get locally sourced goods into the hands of needy families. A laudable goal to be sure. The problem is that Eric Barlow is a sitting Wyoming Senator, was on the board of EPP and used the non-profit to buy meat from his own sheep!

This is exactly the type of insider behavior that voters are sick of.
