THE LATEST EPISODE FROM OUR SERIES "RURAL WYOMING MATTERS!" JOEY SITS DOWN WITH HOLLY LAKE AND THEY DISCUSS: Why Is Holly's husband Troy in federal prison and what are we going to do about it? Troy Lake, born in Newcastle and raised in Rawlins, who lived for years in Dubois, is the owner of Elite Diesel, and was convicted of conspiring to violate the federal Clean Air Act for disabling EPA-mandated emissions systems on diesel trucks. These systems are notorious for causing engine failures, slashing fuel efficiency, and burdening truckers as well as small businesses with costly repairs. Troy’s modifications weren’t about breaking the law, they were about keeping essential services and livelihoods operational while actually reducing emissions, not converting the emissions into something that isn’t tested for (such as urea instead of nitrogen oxide) successfully increasing the fuel efficiency, operational capability and dependability of the vehicles he worked on to include many municipally and government owned vehicles. His work directly supported: Despite these contributions, Troy was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison, fined $52,500, and branded a felon for life. He’s currently held at FCI Florence, a federal prison facility, for a non-violent regulatory offense, a punishment that far outweighs his actions. TAKE ACTION!

THE SIXTY-THIRD INSTALLMENT OF WIDE RIGHT TURN FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE... - Wyoming Going Nuclear! (Part 2) There has been a lot of heated debate on the nuclear future for Wyoming. Campbell County Commissioner Scott Clem pens a tongue in cheek op-ed that combines concern with comedy and some people just don't get the joke. - Expressions in the Minerals Committee caused “nuclear meltdowns” bringing into question adherence and application of decorum on both sides of the dais, as almost no one addresses the draft legislation directly and the question of "is this the Wyoming policy we want regardless of Radiant's involvement" remains on the table without committee discussion. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #TOMKELLY #WIDERIGHTTURN #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

The 2025 legislative session saw House Bill 121 (Hospital Pricing Transparency) end up only a couple of votes shy of heading to the Governor's desk. The bill's chief sponsor, Representative Daniel Singh, believes in the necessity of this legislation and sits down to talk about the hurdles the bill faced, the intent of bringing such legislation to the floor, and possible changes to the previous proposal in its potential resurrection in 2026. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #DANIELSINGH #HD61 #HOSPITALPRICINGTRANSPARENCY #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

THE SIXTY-SECOND INSTALLMENT OF WIDE RIGHT TURN FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE... Jailbird Joey and Rep. Tom Kelly are back at it again and diving into: - The political ideology of the NEA, the WEA, and the U.S. Department of Education have been on full display for decades as they claim to be focused on improving education and the environment in which our children learn, yet what has been openly displayed is a money machine focused on hiding behind children in order to carry out their political intent on your dime. Yes, even here in Wyoming, all the way down to the local district level. - Tom and The Jailbird make some predictions on the outcome and effects of the lawsuit against Wyoming's Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder regarding Wyoming's school choice scholarship program a day before a Laramie County Judge issues a ruling to continue to block the distribution of funds. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #TOMKELLY #WIDERIGHTTURN #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

THE SIXTY-FIRST INSTALLMENT OF WIDE RIGHT TURN FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE... A vocally incumbered Jailbird Joey and Rep. Tom Kelly are back at it again and diving into: - Senate Leadership is continually taking heat for things no one seems to be able to clearly quantify, turning down the volume may be the key to having a successful and productive budget session in 2026. - Wyoming Going Nuclear! There has been a lot of heated debate on the nuclear future for Wyoming. Some expressions have even caused “meltdowns” over jobs, money, dumping nuclear waste down abandoned mines, and even the fear of creating Ninja Turtles. However, this is not a single issue with a single answer. Tom and The Jailbird dissect what we know, and more importantly what we don't know, about the many projects and concerns about Wyoming going nuclear. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #TOMKELLY #WIDERIGHTTURN #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

And now for something a little different… Former legislator Amy Edmonds of the "Let's Talk Wyoming" Podcast joins Jailbird Joey for a series of reoccurring discussions about policy instead of personalities in our first crossover collaboration we're calling "Outside the Echo Chamber." - Today's special guest is Representative Karlee Provenza of House District 45. - The public land sale provisions of HR-1 are dead for now, but it's the "for now" part that is still concerning for many Wyomingites. So, we're getting outside the echo chamber and discussing the confusing, concerning, and in many instances vague language we saw in the proposal that must be addressed if and when the effort returns. #OUTSIDETHEECHOCHAMBER #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #LETSTALKWYOMING #AMYEDMONDS #HR1 #KARLEEPROVENZA #HD45 #RURALWYOMINGMATTERS #OBBBA #PUBLICLANDS #ONEBIGBEAUTIFULBILL #PUBLICLANDSALE #MIKELEE #RURALWYOMING #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

OUR FIRST ITERATION IN A SERIES OF MONTHLY INTERVIEWS WITH WYOMING'S LONE VOICE IN THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Jailbird Joey and U.S. Rep Harriet Hageman are linking up and having a discussion about: - HR1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, is a "Budget Reconciliation Bill" but what is a reconciliation bill and what rules govern it? - The public land sales provisions of HR1 are confusing, concerning, and in many instances vague, Harriet Hageman clears up some of the processes mentioned in specific provisions and answers a few fairly direct questions about the proposal. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #HARRIETHAGEMAN #HANGINWITHHARRIET #HR1 #RURALWYOMINGMATTERS #OBBBA #PUBLICLANDS #ONEBIGBEAUTIFULBILL #PUBLICLANDSALE #MIKELEE #RURALWYOMING #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

THE SIXTIETH INSTALLMENT OF WIDE RIGHT TURN FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE... Jailbird Joey and Tom Kelly are back at it again and diving into: - A quick reflection on the current situation in Iran - School Finance Recalibration is off and running and some of the people testifying and dropping comments on social media may be off their rocker. So, with Tom on the committee and the Jailbird in attendance at the meeting, it seemed more than appropriate to have a discussion about what's happening, what the legitimate purview of recalibration is, and where does it seem to be headed. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #TOMKELLY #WIDERIGHTTURN #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

And how all that relates to the destructive unrest in Southern California as well as the "ugly online breakup" of Trump and Musk. #JUSTBLAMEJOEYLIVE #JAILBIRDJOEY #TOMKELLY #WIDERIGHTTURN #1776AUDIOFOUNDRY

THE FIFTY-SEVENTH INSTALLMENT OF WIDE RIGHT TURN FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE...
