    7-24-26 - 9am - The Asset Act is Unfair to Legal Citizens

    Colorado's economic woes have been a hot topic lately, but one issue that's flying under the radar is the state's generous tuition policies for out-of-state students. Specifically, the Asset Act, which allows illegal aliens to pay in-state tuition, is under fire from the Department of Justice. This episode delves into the controversy surrounding this policy and the potential consequences for Colorado taxpayers. The Asset Act, passed in 2013, allows students who attended a Colorado high school to qualify for in-state tuition, regardless of their immigration status. However, this policy has been deemed unconstitutional by the federal government, which has led to a lawsuit against the state. The speaker argues that this policy is not only unfair to out-of-state students but also a misuse of taxpayer dollars. They point out that the federal government has explicit constitutional authority over immigration and that this policy overrides a 30-year-old federal statute. The speaker also touches on the issue of fairness, highlighting the fact that American citizens are being charged three times more than illegal aliens for the same education. They also discuss the fiscal responsibility aspect, pointing out that every dollar spent on subsidizing tuition for people here illegally is a dollar not spent on something else or extracted from a taxpayer elsewhere. If you're interested in learning more about this issue and the potential consequences for Colorado taxpayers, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's in-depth analysis and discussion on the Asset Act and its implications.

    7-24-26 - 10am - Results of Prop 123 Have Been Disappointing

    This episode is a scathing critique of Colorado's housing affordability policies, specifically Proposition 123, which was passed by voters in 2022. The speaker takes aim at Governor Polis's claims that the proposition will deliver on housing affordability, arguing that the policy is a feel-good solution that doesn't actually address the root causes of the problem. The speaker delves into the details of Prop 123, explaining how it takes money from taxpayers that was previously refundable under the state's TABOR cap and redirects it towards affordable housing. However, the speaker argues that this approach is misguided, as it reduces the pool of private capital available for people to buy or rent housing on the open market. The speaker also points out that the majority of the units funded by Prop 123 are aimed at renters earning between 60% and 120% of the area median income, which is a far cry from truly affordable housing. The speaker also discusses the results of Prop 123, which have been disappointing. Despite promises of 17,000 affordable housing units over 20 years, the actual number of units built is far lower, and the state is losing existing affordable units faster than it's building new ones. The speaker argues that the primary driver of housing costs in Colorado is a supply problem, not a gap in subsidies, and that the state's regulatory environment is exacerbating the issue. If you're concerned about the state of housing affordability in Colorado, this episode is a must-listen. The speaker offers a clear and compelling analysis of the issue and proposes a different approach to addressing the problem. Tune in to hear the full discussion and learn more about the complexities of Prop 123 and the state's housing policies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    7-23-26 - 9am - Foreign Ownership of Our Meatpacking Industry

    In a shocking revelation, the speaker delves into the surprising truth behind the high cost of beef in the US, and it's not what you think. The speaker takes a closer look at the meatpacking industry, revealing a disturbing trend that has significant national security implications. This episode explores the intersection of economics, politics, and national security, as the speaker examines the concentration of the US meatpacking industry in the hands of a few large companies, many of which are foreign-owned. The speaker argues that this concentration, combined with a small cattle herd and a drought, has led to the high cost of beef. However, the speaker also raises questions about the role of foreign ownership in the industry, particularly the ownership of the largest meatpacking company in the US by a Chinese conglomerate. The speaker discusses the potential risks of foreign ownership, including the possibility of the company being used as a tool for Chinese intelligence gathering. They also highlight the importance of food security as a national security issue and argue that a country that cannot feed itself is no longer a sovereign nation. The speaker proposes solutions to address these issues, including reforming the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and making it easier for small and mid-sized American beef processors to compete. If you're concerned about the high cost of beef and the implications of foreign ownership in the US meatpacking industry, you won't want to miss this episode. The speaker's analysis is eye-opening and thought-provoking, and the discussion raises important questions about the role of government in protecting national security and promoting fair competition. Listen to the full episode to learn more about this critical issue and what it means for the future of the US food supply. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
