    Episode 303: Government Grocery Stores Could Win Before They Fail

    A single headline can flip the meaning of a story, and we’re seeing that play out in real time. We start with a local New Mexico example where border water well drilling gets framed as a squabble over “credit” while the bigger question of accountability gets pushed aside. If you’ve ever felt like coverage misses the point, we break down exactly how that happens and why it matters for voters trying to track what’s real. Next, we decode the governor’s race “panic” narrative and explain why scary fundraising emails often signal strategy more than fear. We talk campaign mechanics, polling messaging, and what to watch for if a race truly tightens. Then we move to the policy story that could shape the next few years: New York City’s plan for government-run grocery stores. The promise of 30% lower prices sounds like relief in an inflationary economy, but the incentives are radically different when the state can operate at a loss, undercut private grocers, and sell the optics of a utopia before the bill arrives. We also revisit COVID trust, from Fauci’s latest heat on Capitol Hill to RFK Jr’s clash on CNN over “trust the experts” versus open debate and continued research. And because culture and sports keep colliding, we cover the WNBA’s newest self-inflicted controversy tied to trans inclusion and a team owner confronting teenage fans. We wrap with lighter “game cam” wildlife to end on a breath, then we tell you how to keep up with the show.

    Episode 302: How Rio Rancho’s Mayor Wants To Fix New Mexico

    New Mexico is full of smart, hardworking people, so why does the state keep settling for broken systems and bottom-of-the-list outcomes? We bring in Gregg Hull, the longtime mayor of Rio Rancho and the Republican nominee for governor, to make the case that competence is a policy and that Rio Rancho’s track record can scale statewide if leaders stop chasing sound bites and start delivering measurable results. We talk through the toughest issues voters bring up first: crime, fentanyl, homelessness, and behavioral health. Hull lays out a “community solutions” approach that pairs enforcement with the resources cities actually need, and we press him on what a governor can do when local leaders claim they’ve got it handled while residents see open-air drug use and encampments growing. We also dig into bail reform and the political reality of working with a legislature that often resists undoing its own unintended consequences. Then we shift to flashpoints that shape trust in government: sanctuary city policy and immigration enforcement, voter ID and election integrity, and the CYFD controversy involving a 15-year-old sent across the border unescorted. Hull calls for a full investigation and a top-to-bottom review focused on child safety first. We close with the economic and education agenda, including eliminating the New Mexico state income tax, auditing fraud and waste, defending oil and gas as a major driver of revenue, and pushing early literacy plus career technical education so students can graduate into real opportunity.

    Episode 301: Nick Shirley On Investigating Daycare Fraud And Surviving The Blowback

    A fraud investigator with a phone camera can shake up more than a newsroom ever could, and that’s exactly why the backlash gets intense. We sit down with Nick Shirley, the 24-year-old independent journalist behind the Quality Learing Center reporting and other viral investigations, to talk about what it’s like to work when you’re recognized everywhere you go. Nick explains why he believes first-person, on-location reporting is what audiences have been missing, how he tries to let subjects explain themselves on camera, and why exposing alleged taxpayer fraud can trigger real threats that now require security. From there, we dig into the bigger question his story raises: why do some political leaders and institutions seem more eager to stop the exposure than to stop the grift? Nick walks us through California’s AB 2624, a bill critics say could criminalize filming around certain taxpayer-funded immigration support service providers, raising serious First Amendment and freedom of the press concerns. We also talk about his experience filming in Cuba, the fear and surveillance he says he encountered, and why he’s still looking for ways to show what’s happening in places like Venezuela. After Nick, we connect the dots at home: New Mexico SNAP benefits, verification requirements, and how “kids lost assistance” headlines can bury the reality of high error rates and the need for basic accountability. We also react to USAID coverage, the KRQE CBS affiliation change and what it could mean for local news competition, the push for a February 2028 presidential primary, and a Caitlin Clark column that drew outrage for its logic and tone. If you care about government accountability, media framing, and where your tax dollars go, this one is for you.

    ***BREAKING NEWS***Albuquerque TV Shock!!! KRQE Loses CBS Affiliate to KOAT

    A major Albuquerque news bombshell is landing: KRQE is reportedly losing the CBS affiliate, and KOAT is set to become the home for CBS in New Mexico while already carrying ABC. That single shift can reshape what viewers watch, when they watch it, and how local journalism gets funded. We’re jumping on with an emergency update to explain what’s changing, why it’s changing, and why it matters to anyone who depends on local TV for weather, investigations, and the stories that never make national headlines. We walk through the unglamorous but powerful reality of network affiliation deals, where ownership groups negotiate with networks like CBS over dollars, distribution, and leverage. CBS still brings huge value through prime time, national news, and especially NFL games that deliver the kind of audiences local stations can’t easily replicate. When that backbone moves, a station can lose the built-in lead-ins that help local newscasts hold audience, which is a serious problem at a time when broadcast ratings are already slipping. We also dig into the fallout on both sides. For KRQE, going independent means rebuilding a full schedule and trying to keep viewers from drifting without a network engine. For KOAT and Hearst, adding CBS creates a two-network powerhouse in one building and raises questions the public should ask: how will staffing expand, how will coverage stay strong, and how will two major brands serve New Mexico without shrinking competition? If you care about Albuquerque media, local TV news, and what consolidation is doing to community information, hit play, share this with a friend who follows New Mexico news, and subscribe so you don’t miss what comes next. If this switch goes through, what do you most want local stations to protect: investigative reporting, weather coverage, or community storytelling?

    Episode 299: Do JD Vance And Marco Rubio Reveal A Coming Republican Split?

    A Democrat drops out of a governor’s race, endorses a Republican, and suddenly everyone has a hot take, but the real story is the mechanics. We break down what Ken Miyagishima’s exit means for the New Mexico governor race, why signature requirements and ballot access can be brutally determinative, and how the Las Cruces and El Paso media market complicates any “endorsement boost” narrative for Gregg Hull versus Deb Haaland. Then we pull the camera back to national politics and ask the question people keep messaging us about: who actually leads the Republican ticket next? JD Vance’s Joe Rogan appearance gives us a clean look at both sides of the coin, the best of his working-class, housing affordability, and capitalism defense arguments, and the parts that worry us when Iran negotiations, Israel, and public criticism enter the picture. We also play and react to a Marco Rubio speech that reminds us what a big, values-driven foreign policy message sounds like, and why the party may be heading toward a real split in tone and priorities long before 2028. We also hit the headlines that are equal parts serious and absurd: the Iran conflict expanding after the deaths of two U.S. service members, the case for ICE agents wearing body cameras, a legally dubious push to “arrest” Benjamin Netanyahu in New York, the Maine Senate race going off the rails, and why prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi are turning Washington’s information economy into a temptation machine that looks a lot like insider trading.

    Episode 298: Low T In The Military And Why Data Centers Matter

    A Supreme Court justice describes carrying a bulletproof vest into her home and watching her family live through swatting threats. That’s where our conversation starts to feel less like politics and more like a stress test for the country and for the institutions we rely on when things get ugly. With Michael Garofalo in the co-host chair, we talk candidly about what intimidation does to public service and why leaks like the Dobbs leak aren’t just scandal, they’re a direct hit to trust, safety, and the court’s ability to deliberate honestly. Before we get heavy, we also keep it real with the week’s most absurd headlines and what they reveal: the military’s new focus on testosterone screening and the debate over TRT, plus the Taco Bell “explosive diarrhea” probe that turns into a surprisingly practical conversation about foodborne illness, dehydration, and how fast a bad travel meal can wreck you. We also share a quick plug and a few behind the scenes notes on the Mark vs. the Mountain season finale on Pure Flix, Great American, and Amazon Prime Video. Then we zoom out to the big chessboard: data centers, the power grid, water allocation, and the AI race with China. We break down why blanket bans can backfire, how data centers may be forced to generate their own power, and how foreign influence campaigns thrive when Americans get turned against each other. We hit fresh Morning Consult polling, the midterm outlook, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and a media moment where Jamie Dimon refuses to take the Axios bait.

    Episode 297: Congratulations Here’s Your $250 Now Behave And Shut Up!

    Two headlines hit your screen: “Worst States To Live In.” Same country, same year, totally different answers. That’s where we start, because it explains so much of the frustration in American life right now. When one list grades states on safety, education, healthcare, and economic strength, and another list quietly swaps in culture-war proxies, people end up living in different realities without realizing it. We put those rankings side by side and talk about what each one measures, what each one ignores, and why that gap makes it nearly impossible to “bridge the divide” when everyone thinks they’re holding the facts. Then we bring it home to New Mexico and the question you all lit up our inbox with: should the state eliminate the personal income tax? We read listener emails, walk through the argument for permanent tax relief versus a one-time $250 rebate, and respond to the biggest pushbacks, including the fear of a bait-and-switch that just raises taxes somewhere else. We also react to local coverage and the special session chatter, focusing on what “fiscal burden” really means when a state is running recurring surpluses and trying to grow. From there, we shift to national and global news: we reflect on reports of Lindsey Graham’s death, replay a defining moment from the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, and explain the rapid-fire process South Carolina uses to fill a Senate vacancy. We also dig into Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, using fresh reporting to ask what Iran believes it’s winning, what the U.S. can realistically deter, and how this could keep pressure on global energy and shipping. And yes, we end with Sunday Game Day, including an unbelievable Yellowstone bison incident and new wildlife camera clips that remind us how close “the wild” really is.

    Episode 296: New Mexico Can Cut Paychecks Loose From State Income Tax

    Groceries are up, gas is up, and a lot of New Mexico families are doing that quiet math at the checkout line, hoping the card doesn’t decline. We start with the most surprising development we’ve seen in a long time: a top New Mexico Democrat, Sen. George Muñoz, publicly laying out a serious case for reducing and ultimately eliminating the New Mexico state income tax. We read the strongest lines, talk about what “real relief” looks like, and why measuring government success by bigger reserves misses the point when working people are falling behind. Then we get practical about the numbers. New Mexico’s oil and gas revenue and permanent fund investment returns have changed the state’s balance sheet, and we break down why that matters for tax reform, take-home pay, business growth, and competitiveness with states like Texas. We also talk politics, pushback, and what it would take for enough lawmakers to actually move a bill, plus a simple step listeners can take: contacting their state representative. From there we pivot to the governor’s race reality check: Deb Haaland’s massive cash advantage over Gregg Hull, why “money shouldn’t matter” is not a campaign plan, and how TV markets and late advertising can decide elections. We also hit two national Senate stories that reveal what primaries reward: the Maine blowup around Graham Plattner and the pressure to swap nominees, plus Michigan’s Democratic split and the fear of confronting extremist rhetoric. We wrap with Mitch McConnell’s reported decline and his outsized impact on the Supreme Court, then end on something actionable for families: Trump accounts, financial education, and the power of compounding interest.
