665 episodes - English - Latest episode: 1 day ago - ★★★★★ - 40 ratings

Conservative politics from Wyoming and the nation. The media doesn’t report the truth and they are always playing for the left. Politicians lie and it’s my job to prove it. The only way that we set our country back to Constitutional principles is by exposing those who are trying to destroy it.
