Many of the Republicans in the Wyoming Legislature want you to believe that the Freedom Caucus passed bills that seriously damaged your liberties.  Teton County Democrat Mike Yin recently wrote an op-ed in the Cow Pie that claims just that.  The only problem is he didn't provide a single example to back up what he was saying.  The truth?  It's exactly the opposite of what he is saying.

Congressman Jordan shares insights on the recent revelations from John Ratcliffe regarding the intelligence community and the controversial dossier.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Senate Passes Big, Beautiful Bill In Hour 1 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, the hosts deliver a dynamic and timely breakdown of the Senate’s passage of the “Big Beautiful Bill”, a sweeping legislative package poised to reshape the political and economic landscape. Passed by a narrow 51-50 margin with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, the bill now awaits President Donald Trump’s signature, expected by July 4th. This hour dives deep into the bill’s key provisions, including a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase, hundreds of billions allocated for border security and national defense, and a projected $3.3 trillion budget deficit increase through 2034. The hosts analyze the political drama surrounding the bill’s passage, highlighting opposition from Republican Senators Rand Paul, Tom Tillis, and Susan Collins, and the expected reconciliation process in the House. Lefty Language Games Analysis of the Senate’s passage of the “big, beautiful bill,” a major piece of legislation expected to stimulate economic growth, provide tax certainty, and enhance border security. The hosts emphasize the bill’s imperfections but argue its net benefits outweigh its flaws, especially in the context of a government that often lacks the political will to reduce spending. A significant portion of the hour is dedicated to the unsustainable trajectory of federal spending, with references to past efforts by figures like Ross Perot, Senator Ron Johnson, and Senator Rand Paul. The hosts critique both parties for failing to curb entitlement growth and highlight how slowing the rate of spending increases is misleadingly labeled as “cuts.” They also explore how artificial intelligence and productivity gains could potentially offset fiscal challenges, offering a rare optimistic note on economic innovation. The Art of the Possible The Big Beautiful Bill now heads back to the House, where the Freedom Caucus may voice opposition, but it’s expected to reach President Donald Trump’s desk for signature before the July 4th holiday. A major highlight of the hour is President Trump’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz” in Ochopee, Florida, a remote airstrip facility intended for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. Trump’s remarks emphasized deterrence, warning migrants against fleeing into the Everglades. The segment underscores the administration’s tough stance on immigration and sanctuary cities, with speculation that legal challenges may arise from cities defying federal deportation orders. Best Movie of the 21st Century? Clay and Buck debate the best movies of the 21st century, referencing a recent New York Times list. Films like The Dark Knight, There Will Be Blood, No Country for Old Men, and The Pianist are discussed, with particular praise for Heath Ledger’s iconic performance as the Joker. The conversation also includes listener favorites and humorous disagreements over ice cream flavors—particularly pistachio—and nostalgic TV shows like Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.

They Wyoming left and the media constantly claims that the Freedom Caucus only focuses on national issues.  Two of the newest members of the media crowd, Amy Edmonds and Jake from the Cow Pie had to join in.  The problem is, the facts never line up with their rhetoric. 

Mike Ferguson in the Morning - Where does Iran go from here? President Trump said that with their Nuclear capabilities devastated, he's not interested in any further involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. -The "Missouri Screw Job" that cost Sen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruit America is back. Yes, sir. And we've got some great news from the Supreme Court this morning. The Supreme Court has ruled in the case of, Medina versus Planned Parenthood South Carolina, and it says states do not have to use taxpayer dollars to fund organizations like Planned Parenthood. Joining us right now is state representative Sarita Edgerton. Sarita, this is a big win for South Carolina, isn't it? Oh my goodness. It is. Every time we take a little bit back from the enemy that he's stolen from us or we've ceded ground and we take it back, I consider it a victory today, so I praised God today and prayed and thanked him for this win. It's a big win. It is a big win. In fact, the, the Freedom Caucus, has issued a statement. I just wanna read some of the of it here. We celebrate the US Supreme Court's decision to confirm that South Carolina has the right to withhold taxpayer funds from abortion mills. Organizations like Planned Parenthood not only kills infants in the womb, but have become the most prolific dispenser of chemical castration and sterilization chemicals of children. They don't deserve a tie a dime of taxpayer money. But the question is, Sarita, what is the state legislature gonna do about it? Well, I do have to say representative Steven Long put this trigger in, with his position on ways and means, and this is what caused this, case to be, taken up and and the state sued, that it was in our Medicaid. And so while we can take it out of our Medicaid, and I'm I'm sure we will, we've got some people who are gonna who's gonna fight for that. And we we've also have to address that it's also in our public employees benefits accounts. Right. That you can get abortions in certain instances using your state insurance. So if you're a legislator, a state police officer, any state employee who has PEBA, their entire money is going to, fund abortions and Planned Parenthood possibly in this state. So that was that like a gotta get both of those. Yeah. Was that a was that a carve out? I'm not entirely sure on that one, Charlie, but I'm gonna do everything I can, when we get back in session in January. See, if we had passed the personhood, SaniDa Right. Resolution Yeah. Governor McMaster could call us back. We could be working on this and have it ready to go, or we maybe could possibly be called back into session and and continue while the iron you know, you know, to fire while the iron's hot. But, I do have to say, we voted on a bunch of stuff, when the majority of the people of my own party down there did not want to have any appetite for life. They were worn out from the six week heartbeat fetal fetal heartbeat bill Yeah. And they didn't wanna continue to push for any pro we have pro life legislation to protect pregnancy centers. We have pro life legislation to get the abortion pill, to not be able to be ordered from out of state and brought into the state. We're still killing thousands of babies that way. We still have legalized abortion. There's many, many things that we could have done. So while I am celebrating today, that just makes my resolve even stronger to get into January 14 or thirteenth this next time. I think it's thirteenth this next time and hit the ground running with some legislation. We need to get this through committee. We don't need casino bills. Right. We don't need expanding alcohol sales and maternity leave for birthing people. This is the stuff we we tackle this year. We need to be protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Is I mean, it and I know it frustrates you because it frustrates me that here we are in supposedly ruby red South Carolina, and our state legislature acts like a bunch of Democrats. Well, ...

Mike Ferguson in the Morning -It's been reported that former Freedom Caucus chair Sen. Brattin decided to support Gov. Kehoe's Stadium Funding bill at the last minute in exchange for tax-relief for his district. Now, it seems that a court is attempting to block it - meaning that Sen. Brattin could walk away with nothing. -Is it in the U.S.'s best interest to commit militarily to the conflict between Israel and Iran? -The "No Kings" protests in Missouri were peaceful, but across the country not so much.

Well the big, beautiful bill is getting mixed reviews. So far, Elon Musk is the harshest critic, calling it a "pork-filled abomination." In the Senate, Ron Johnson and Rand Paul are holding the line to get spending down, Senator Johnson wants government spending back down to pre-pandemic levels. Congressman Andy Harris is the Chairman of the Freedom Caucus. Rep. Harris initially voted to pass the bill to get it through to the Senate. This time around Congressman Harris says if the Senate rolls back the spending cuts and doesn't get rid of the massive abuse in Medicaid, he and the Freedom Caucus will vote to sink the bill. Congressman Jim Jordan took NPR's CEO to task at a congressional hearing recently. Rep. Jordan exploited how they get stories wrong and have eighty seven Democratic employees and zero Republican employees. The real question is, are we finally done funding NPR and PBS as taxpayers?

6-2-2025: Wake Up Missouri with Scott Faughn, Chelsea Rodriguez, Stephanie Bell, John Marsh, and Producer Drake

We begin today's show with a look at the courts and how all three Trump SCOTUS appointees continue to subvert the agenda, despite throwing us a few bones on the most egregious lower-court rulings. We're joined by Andy Roth, president of the State Freedom Caucus Network, for an analysis of what went wrong and right with this year's legislative sessions. He points out that where the Freedom Caucuses were already large, such as Wyoming and South Dakota, we're already achieving policy victories. Where they are smaller, we are still in the exposure phase, which is important. He also has important advice for conservatives running for legislature and how they must not allow themselves to get bribed into doing bad things based on promises to move their legislation. Finally, we go round-robin across the country and analyze the opportunity to get better governors in key red states.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Arizona's Freedom Caucus is promoting a candidate for a second statewide office in next year's election. Friday NewsCap panelists analyze that and the rest of the week's top stories. Plus, what a group of monkeys can teach us about the importance of shade.

It's Thursday, May 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani Muslim man abducted, forcibly converted, and “married” Christian teen A Christian 15-year-old girl in Pakistan reunited with her parents yesterday after being abducted five months ago. A 29-year-old Muslim man, Muhammad Anees, kidnapped her with four other men from her aunt's home, forcibly converted her to Islam, and married her. The girl suffered abuse for months and is now pregnant.  Attorney Hanif Hameed told Morning Star News, “This is a clear case of false conversion and fake marriage to cover the crime of abduction and rape.” Sadly, such cases are increasing in the South Asian country. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Billy Graham Association to host evangelism meeting in Germany The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is hosting the largest meeting on evangelism in 25 years in Berlin, Germany later this month. It's the same location that Rev. Billy Graham held the first World Congress on Evangelism in 1966. Evangelist Franklin Graham is focusing the upcoming event on the church in Europe. Listen to his comments to CBN News. GRAHAM: “We want to ignite a fire in Europe to where there's an excitement for evangelism and the churches are willing to be bold and not ashamed of the Gospel. “We've got Ukrainian churches coming. We have churches coming from Russia. You know, some say, ‘These countries are at war.'  Yes, they are, but the Gospel is more powerful than any of that stuff.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” Trump announces “Golden Dome” missile defense system U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for a $175 billion missile defense system on Tuesday. U.S. Space Force General Michael Guetlein is leading the project, known as the “Golden Dome.”  Trump said the system should be completed in about three years. Defunding Planned Parenthood remains in Trump's budget bill A handful of conservative Republicans, who hesitated to support Trump's “big, beautiful bill,” appear ready to support the massive package after a furious pressure campaign from President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, reports The Hill. After meeting with Trump at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, and then huddling together afterward on Capitol Hill, the members of the conservative Freedom Caucus emerged to say they're on the cusp of supporting the package — if a laundry list of changes promised by the White House is reflected in the final proposal. Their newfound enthusiasm appears to stem from assurances Trump and Johnson made during the White House meeting, including a promise from the president to issue more executive orders addressing some of the spending concerns the conservatives couldn't secure in the legislation, and expanding the rollback of green energy tax credits enacted in the Democrats' 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.  The bill seeks to deliver on Trump's key campaign promises, including making permanent Trump's 2017 tax cuts and eliminating taxes on tips.  And, thanks in part to the calls of Worldview listeners, the defunding of Planned Parenthood remains in the bill. Court: Florida should require parental consent for a minor's abortion Last Friday, a federal appeals court ruled against a Florida law that allows minors to get abortions without parental consent. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that the law was unconstitutional and violated parental rights. The decision stated, “Whatever asserted constitutional abortion rights may have justified Florida's [law] in the past unequivocally have been repudiated by both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court.” Married, employed, church-attending people happier Harvard University recently published their Global Flourishing Study which surveyed 200,000 people across 22 countries over the past five years. The study found people experienced higher levels of wellbeing when married, employed, and attending religious services. Professor Tyler VanderWeele led the research. He noted, “Religious service attendance was one of the factors most consistently associated with present or subsequent wellbeing, across countries and across outcomes.” Anniversary of First Council of Nicaea And finally, this month marks the anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, 1,700 years ago. In May A.D. 325, about 300 Christian leaders convened in the city of Nicaea, located in modern-day Turkey.  The council dealt with the doctrine of the Trinity. In particular, the church at the time had to refute the heresy of Arianism, which denied that Jesus is fully and eternally divine.  The council went on to affirm the Trinity and Christ as fully God in the Nicene Creed. It is recited by churches worldwide to this day.  The creed affirms there is “one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made.” John 1:1 and 4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In this fiery and emotionally charged monologue, the speaker connects a surge in antisemitic violence to radical ideologies incubated on American college campuses. Citing a recent shooting by a suspect tied to pro-Palestinian groups, the commentary condemns what it views as the mainstreaming of terrorist rhetoric in academia and politics—specifically from the far-left and members of the Democratic “Squad.” The discussion then shifts to national security, immigration, and student visas, with warnings of future violence inspired by campus-based extremism. In the second half, the focus turns to economic policy, where conservative voices are praised for resisting bipartisan spending and pushing back against Green New Deal subsidies. The speaker applauds members of the Freedom Caucus for challenging both GOP leadership and Trump himself to protect future generations from economic collapse. The message: America's cultural and fiscal foundations are being tested—and only bold resistance can turn the tide.

Donald Trump went to Capitol Hill this week to push House Republicans across the finish line on his big domestic policy bill. Behind closed doors, he told conservatives not to “F— around with Medicaid,” and told blue-state Republicans to take the SALT deal on the table: $40,000 for four years, then snapping back to $30,000. That would cover about 90% of blue-state filers, but not the ones making the most noise. Even with Trump applying pressure, guys like Andy Harris and Mike Lawler are still holding out. Some members are softening, but others like Thomas Massie are dug in. So, for now, Speaker Mike Johnson's goal of getting a vote within 48 hours is shaky at best.The bill itself is massive — over 1,100 pages, with tax cuts, defense spending increases, and border policy changes. It would still remove Medicaid coverage for more than seven million people, depending on which estimate you believe. And of course, any version that passes the House is going to get shredded in the Senate. Whatever they vote on now, they'll end up voting on something worse later. So a lot of this feels like performance. The fight is real if you're in the trenches, but from the outside, it looks like an inevitable mess.The bottom line is that they have to pass this. Everyone's worried about the attack ads, about the carveouts, about what they'll be blamed for, but if they don't pass this, they've got nothing. No achievements. No wins. And that's a death sentence for 2026. Trump knows it, and that's why he's pushing so hard. The longer this drags out, the more nervous the business community gets. Right now, things are relatively stable — tariffs are high but consistent, regulations are locked in, and the tax code hasn't changed yet. That kind of stability is gold to investors. It gives them permission to move. If you pass this bill now, businesses start planning in Q3, making decisions in Q4, and consumers start to feel it by next summer — right as the midterms heat up.And that's the ballgame. Republicans don't want to be running in 2026 on the ghost of Joe Biden's presidency. They want to run on Trump's second-term economy. They want to say, “This is what we did. Do you want to go back?” That's the message — and it only works if the economy is good. So from a strategic perspective, if you're a Democrat, you want this thing to grind. Drag it out. Make the House Freedom Caucus fight harder. Blow it all up and pray the delay ruins the timeline. Because that's the only way this thing doesn't end in a campaign-ready boom for Republicans.My guess? The bill passes the House in the next five days. I don't see what changes between now and the two-week delay the Freedom Caucus wants. Someone's going to have to eat it, and most likely, that someone is going to realize there's no better option coming. As for the SALT caucus — I'm still not sure what they're waiting for. Whatever it is, it's not making them look particularly sympathetic to the rest of the country.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:37 - Original Sin Book Thoughts (with Chris Cillizza)00:35:17 - Update00:39:13 - Big Beautiful Bull00:48:41 - Russia Talks00:53:17 - Kristi Noem00:57:42 - Original Sin and the State of Cable News (with Chris Cillizza)01:37:56 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Everyone is commenting on the Canadian elections, but what most on the Right are missing is that we are on our way to becoming like Canada in the sense that we can't elect conservatives even in culturally conservative parts of the nation. I raise concerns about Greg Abbott's comments that Trump will endorse Texas RINOs. Next, we're joined by Nathan Dahm, director of the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus, who briefs us on a Supreme Court case stemming from liberal Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond suing the state school board for approving charter school status for a Catholic school. What's worse is that the state supreme court sided with him! Dahm explains why Oklahoma's institutions continue to be liberal despite the state's voting patterns. The Freedom Caucus is battling entrenched RINOs who are blocking judicial reform and education reform and are also trying to gum up the primaries. Learn more about your ad choices.

Once again, the Freedom Caucus got rolled and agreed to pass the trashy Senate budget bill in return for yet another verbal promise to cut spending the next time. I discuss the details of Trump's maneuvers on both trade and debt to show how he only pressures the right but not the RINOs. For the first time, I reveal my theory behind this inconsistency. Also, Con Inc. is gaslighting you about the state of the economy, the reason for the easing of inflation, and the timeline of Trump's decision on tariffs. Finally, I offer some more examples of why the Supreme Court will not fundamentally save Trump's agenda.     Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

During the Biden administration, I warned that the government was engaging in “economic grooming” by acculturating the public to accept the current price levels as the new normal and to deem slower rates of increase as victories against inflation. We are seeing the same things from Trump supporters misinterpreting one month's CPI report. We cannot lie to people that inflation has been solved without cutting spending or without a deep recession. Next, we're joined by April Cromer, vice chair of the South Carolina state Freedom Caucus, who reports bad news from the South Carolina budget. The GOP governor and, yes, supermajority worked with every Democrat to pass a bloated and woke budget. The Freedom Caucus in South Carolina (unlike the national one) refused to go along with it and has exposed that supermajorities are just as fraudulent as narrow majorities. She explains how she beat an incumbent and why primaries are more important than general elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Not only are the spending cuts from the DOGE either being exaggerated or struck down by the courts, but now its existence is being used as an excuse not to cut spending for real in budget bills. Today, I explain how the budget CR is a bigger betrayal than you think. I shoot down about a dozen arguments in support of it. Unfortunately, Trump has pressured the Freedom Caucus rather than the RINOs, so we will wind up with the same old. Unless they come up with a new playbook, we know how this play ends. Also, I'm very concerned about the slow pace of deportations and explain the factors holding them up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The swamp is not just in D.C.; it's in all 50 state Capitols. In fact, it's even worse in red states, because there is no scrutiny from the public. We begin today by going through some examples of excellent legislation we could pass but that is being blocked by Republicans. I'm joined by Andy Roth of the State Freedom Caucus Network, who gives us his thoughts on the legislative sessions so far. Republican leaders are worse than ever in places like Florida, South Carolina, and Texas. Andy explains how the creation of the Freedom Caucus is the only solution to the problem of getting individual members with the courage and acumen to fight against leadership. However, at the same time, he can't rush into a state to create a caucus unless it won't be watered down and subverted from within. Roth also teases out which states will be easier and which states will be harder to create a caucus in. Ultimately, we will not drain the red-state swamps without working in primaries and growing Freedom Caucuses.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This could be the single biggest issue of our time. Elon Musk turned loose on what's called "OMB" - Office of Management and Budget. Within OMB, are many taxpayer funded "NGOs". What are those? Stigall thinks this is one of the most critically important subjects to understand and spends time unpacking it with Congressman Scott Perry of the Freedom Caucus in the House. Two tragic plane accidents within a few days has many skittish and skeptical. The Democrats are wandering in the wilderness as they gather this weekend to pick their new leader and it's as hilarious as you would imagine.

We begin today with an update on the Florida RINO amnesty fight with Governor DeSantis. These people are hell-bent on bringing the state back to pre-DeSantis governance controlled by special interests. Yet they run on our issues when they campaign. This is why we must self-separate, and this is where the Freedom Caucus comes in. We're joined today by Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the new chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, for an update on the caucus' fight with leadership over trying to actually fulfill the promise to bring down inflation. He discusses the plan for cutting spending and budget reconciliation. We also delve into the need for wholesale health care reform to bring back life, liberty, and fiscal solvency. Finally, he discusses the need to responsibly grow the Freedom Caucus in such a way that imposters cannot get away with co-opting our brand to promote the uniparty's special interests.  Learn more about your ad choices.
