Eric Barlow

But I have to tell you, my friends, we are experiencing one of the biggest political swindles of Wyoming's history, and it is truly incredible.

Pretty much everywhere you look on Eric Barlow's record, you'll find something that is extraordinarily on the far extreme political left.

Full-blown pot legalization, Medicaid expansion, increased taxes, saying we have to move beyond fossil fuels, voting against pro-life legislation.

The list, my friends, goes on and on and on.

And yet there are so many people in Wyoming that will completely disregard all of it.

They just look at Eric Barlow and say, "He's a rancher, and he must be conservative." And for most people, that's the depth of their political knowledge about Eric Barlow.

It's almost as if Eric has his own brand of blue intoxicant that he's throwing around every bar room in Wyoming.

Now, a lot of you were big fans of my debut musical smash number, Flat Out False, and every time I listen to it, it still makes me laugh.

Well, we're being asked to choose Barlow from Kasner, from Bextel.

I want to understand what you think of Eric Barlow compared to previous governors.

You have so much inside experience with other governors.

How would he rate if he became governor with the governors of the age in Wyoming? Is he just good enough for 2026, or would you put him in the top five? How does he stack up against the governors you know?

Well, based on what I know about Eric Barlow and what I know about the governorship of the state of Wyoming, that job is not too big for Eric Barlow.

I think it's too big for Ken Kasner or Rebecca Bextel.

Not for Eric Barlow.

He spent, you know, what, 14 years in the legislature.

Mm.

So Rod, let's turn the focus for a minute to Eric Barlow.

All this started with the pushback on Eric Barlow well before he won the primary.

Rebecca Bextel said, "I wanna be a safeguard, I wanna be a plan B in case Barlow wins the primary and you want a real Republican.

That's gonna be me." She saw this coming way back.

Yeah, yeah, and, and, yeah, yeah

I'm just looking at it-

True history lesson, Checkgate Becky, uh, left the Republican Party, announced as a gubernatorial candidate on the Constitution Party, which has about 500 members statewide, uh, as, uh, that, uh, insurance policy against Eric Barlow.

There isn't, and there never has been.

If you know that the person who won the Republican primary, either by hook or by crook or by some other means, is somewhere to the left of Mitt Romney, or even worse in the case of Eric Barlow, then you are doing exactly the opposite that the Wyoming Republican Party has done for the last 10 years.

For the better part of 10 years, the Wyoming Republican Party has told anybody that would listen that the party platform is what matters.

I can't tell you how many state central committee meetings I've sat through and listened to the same old spiel, that we've got a legislature jam-packed full of Democrats that claim to be Republicans.

And let me just simplify the whole situation for you.

That was the Wyoming Republican Party attempting to identify Democrats who just claim to be Republicans for political power, and right now, we have a perfect example of that.

Now, I have no evidence whatsoever that Eric Barlow was ever a member of the Frontier Republicans, officially anyway.

Now, if you've forgotten, or if you tried to forget, the Frontier Republicans was a group started by Gayle Simmons, Pinocchio Joe McGinley, Tom Lubnow, and Doug Campbellin.

And then we'll get into all things you should do and not do at a job interview.

Eric Barlow, he's running for governor.

He'll join us in the first hour to set the record straight and catch us up as to where he's at.

I think he's been down in Lyman view, Lyman mountain view, Evanston.

Bye now.

We've got to bounce the governor.

Running for governor, Eric Barlow is on.

We're going

Uh, so let me just read you, and I read these to you yesterday on the program.

Uh, but Jim Anderson, Eric Barlow, Beau Beutman, Brian Bonehead, Ed Cooper, Barry, Poison Barry Crago, Gary Crum, Dan Dockstader, Ol' Augie, Tim French, Kangaroo Mike Giroux, Lynn Hutchings, Bob Ide, Bill Landen, Dan Larson, Troy McEwen, Slithers Nethercott, Jarad Olsen, Laura Pearson, Tim Salazar, Charlie Scott, Darrin Smith, and Sherry Steinmetz.

Now, some of those people meant it, though.

Yeah, some of them did.

Anything called yellow-bellied, you don't want to have anything to do with.

Well, you don't want that anywhere.

Maybe Eric Barlow needs it.

I'm not sure.
