BKP talks with David Iverson, Cowboy State Politics about Wyoming politics and Liz Chaney

Let’s not over react. Let’s relax. We have to regroup and see where we are at and gath­er some facts and get ready in November. 

Wel­come to David Iver­son from Wyoming, the largest pod­cast in Wyoming, Cow­boy State Politics. 

His­tor­i­cal­ly the Chaneys have been very active in Wyoming State pol­i­tics. She won based on her name. Since Jan 6 and since her vote to impeach Trump was the start of her decline. There were many par­ties across the state that cen­sured her.
There is one statewide paper, lib­er­al paper, in the state of Wyoming and in the poll LIz Chaney was 22 points down. 

Hage­man is run­ning against Chaney. It is pre­dict­ed that Hage­men will win but there is fear of the demo­c­rat crossover. There is an over­whelm­ing pre­dic­tion for a Har­ri­et Hage­men win on Tuesday. 

Wyoming has a closed pri­ma­ry but the vot­er can change their vot­er reg­is­tra­tion before vot­ing then change it back when fin­ished voting. 

Wyoming had the most vot­er per­cent­age for Trump. Liz knows all along that it is the end of her polit­i­cal career in Wyoming. Liz is using the con­gres­sion­al stage for the nation­al stage. It is not in the cards for her to win the pri­ma­ry. On the radio ad of Dick Chaney for Liz there was nev­er a men­tion of Wyoming. She will run for pres­i­dent or the Vir­ginia Sen­ate. Liz grew up in Vir­ginia and that is where she lives. She wants to be a pow­er bro­ker in DC. And with her being Trump’s loud­est oppo­nent, she has her eyes on a big­ger picture. 

Dur­ing the Bush admin­is­tra­tion, the media paint­ed Dick Chaney as Darth Vad­er and the cit­i­zens of Wyoming were defend­ing Chaney. Now they under­stand what was being said about Dick Chaney. The new TV ad for Liz con­tin­ues to paint Chaney as Darth Vader. 

The coun­ties and even­tu­al­ly the state repub­li­can par­ty cen­sured Liz Chaney after the Trump impeach­ment vote. In Wyoming there are peo­ple that run as a repub­li­can to get elect­ed but then have a lib­er­al agen­da when in office. While Wyoming peo­ple are very con­ser­v­a­tive, the Wyoming leg­is­la­ture is pur­ple at best. In the 2022 elec­tion the Wyoming state leg­is­la­ture had a good chance for the con­ser­v­a­tives to take the house. There are a lot of vot­er edu­ca­tion cam­paigns going on in each small com­mu­ni­ty. Con­ser­v­a­tives have a good chance to take over. 

With a con­sti­tu­tion­al Supreme Court with issues like Roe v Wade it is impor­tant for your state house and state sen­ate is very impor­tant. For exam­ple the red flag gun laws, the infla­tion reduc­tion act, the State of Wyoming doesn’t have much impact on the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment. The state leg­is­la­tures are where the focus needs to be. The laws will come down to each indi­vid­ual state. The local rep­re­sen­ta­tion is what affects your life directly. 

When the gov­ern­ment con­tin­ues to lie and the Biden admin­is­tra­tion has dras­ti­cal­ly reduced the amount of lands that can be drilled and increased the reg­u­la­tion on gas and coal. The direct result is at the gas pump and on the elec­tric bills. The result is the reg­u­la­tion on nat­ur­al resources. In Agri­cul­ture, the fer­til­iz­er has been increased and the reg­u­la­tion on the agri­cul­tur­al pro­duc­ers has affect­ed every­one across the coun­try. Wyomi­ans are every­day Amer­i­cans and when the food and gas prices dou­bling and tripling since this admin­is­tra­tion has tak­en office it is direct­ly affect­ing your life. The only way to get a han­dle on it is to elect con­ser­v­a­tive rep­re­sen­ta­tives to office. 

David’s pre­dic­tions: Joe Biden will fin­ish his first term because no one wants Kamala Har­ris. Joe Biden will not run again. The demo­c­rat front run­ner is Liz Chaney. Liz Chaney has not addressed the Wyoming repub­li­cans in 565 days.
