    6-26-26 - 9am - Jeffco Schools and SCOTUS Rules on TPS

    This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks the US Senate's failure to pass the Save America Act is the only thing that's going wrong in the country. The speaker takes aim at the system that's supposed to protect our kids, but is actually putting them in harm's way. The conversation starts with a disturbing story about a school district in Colorado that's been hiring employees with a history of sex abuse. The speaker argues that the problem isn't with the background checks, but with the way information is shared between districts. They point out that a registry of problematic employees could have prevented these cases, but it's been stalled in the Senate. The speaker also touches on the importance of due process, but notes that it's often used to silence victims rather than protect them. The discussion then shifts to the Supreme Court's recent decisions on immigration policy, which have left many people's lives in jeopardy. The speaker critiques the court's interpretation of the word "in" and the implications it has for asylum seekers. They also highlight the importance of solidarity and action in the face of these decisions. If you're concerned about the issues discussed in this episode, we invite you to listen to the full conversation to hear the speaker's thoughts on how we can create a safer, more just system for our kids and our communities.

    6-26-26 - 10am - Indian Point Nuclear Plant and Freedom of Information UK

    In a shocking revelation, a former government official shares a personal story that exposes the true intentions behind the closure of a major nuclear power plant. This episode takes a deep dive into the world of politics, energy, and the consequences of making decisions based on ideology rather than facts. The speaker recounts a 25-year-old incident where two US senators asked him to study the feasibility of closing the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in New York. The report concluded that shutting down the plant would not only be a national security risk but also lead to skyrocketing electricity rates. However, the politicians involved had already made up their minds, and the report was simply a justification for their predetermined decision. The consequences of this decision are still being felt today, with New York state now facing the highest electricity rates in the country and a grid that's struggling to meet demand. The speaker argues that this is a cautionary tale about the dangers of centralized planning and the importance of considering the economic and practical implications of our decisions. If you want to understand how this happened and what it means for our energy future, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's personal account and the lessons he's learned from this experience.

    6-26-26 - 11am - Tax Payer Relief Shots

    This episode is a stark reminder that the right to self-defense is a fundamental aspect of American society, and it's a topic that's often misunderstood or misrepresented in the media. From a single mother defending her children to a store owner protecting his business, we're seeing a trend of law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves and their loved ones. This episode delves into several high-profile cases where individuals have used their firearms to defend themselves against intruders, with varying degrees of success. We'll explore the nuances of self-defense laws in different states, including Colorado, where the rules are more restrictive than in some other parts of the country. You'll hear from a sheriff who's passionate about educating citizens on their rights and responsibilities when it comes to defending themselves and their property. One of the most striking cases we'll examine is that of a homeowner who shot and killed an armed intruder in his own home. We'll also look at a situation where a woman hid in a closet with her child and shot a suspected home invader, and a case where a store owner defended himself against two armed robbers. These stories highlight the complexities of self-defense and the importance of understanding the laws that govern it. Join us as we explore these and other cases, and hear from experts and individuals who've been directly impacted by these events. We'll discuss the implications of these stories and what they reveal about our society's attitudes towards self-defense and the Second Amendment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    In this episode, the speaker takes a hard look at the Colorado gubernatorial primary, where the Republican candidates are vying for the top spot. With the primary just days away, the speaker shares their thoughts on the current state of the Republican Party and the challenges it faces in the general election. The speaker discusses the importance of choosing a candidate who can win in November, rather than just focusing on the primary. They highlight the need for a candidate who can garner at least 40-45% of the vote, which would show momentum and a desire for change. The speaker also touches on the current state of the Republican Party, noting that it's been ineffective in governing and has been more focused on opposition rather than leadership. The speaker critiques the current crop of Republican candidates, including Victor Marx, who has been accused of exaggerating his claims of rescuing children from traffickers. The speaker questions Marx's transparency and accountability, pointing out that he has refused to answer questions from the press and has instead chosen to limit access to his campaign. In this episode, the speaker offers a candid assessment of the Republican Party's chances in the general election, highlighting the need for a candidate who can lead and govern effectively. They encourage listeners to think critically about the candidates and their qualifications, and to consider the long-term implications of their choices.
