DATA CENTERS ARE AS NECESSARY AS BREATHING But because of a really effective propaganda campaign likely funded by China (who funded all the climate change nonsense so we would kneecap our own economy) to make sure we can’t/won’t build what will the backbone of the economy. There is a data center being built near Garden of the Gods that is JUST NOW getting pushback even though it’s been through the entire permitting process. My friend Ross Smith, who has experience actually building data centers, took the time to put together this website with the latest truth about data centers. I say latest truth, because a LOT of the opposition pertains directly to things that can be mitigated and ARE being mitigated as we speak.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Considering Douglas County is one of the reddest counties around this is interesting and concerning for those of us worried about a Victor Marx nomination for Governor. I’m curious to hear from my unaffiliated voters about where you are going to cast your ballot this year. I did the Democratic races this year because I figured things might go this way. My fear is that if too many moderate right leaning unaffiliateds vote in the Dem primary it will lift Marx into the nomination. That is going to be a disaster if it happens. On the way to an appointment this morning I heard Ross say he was going to vote in the Dem primary as well. Chris joins me at 1 to talk about why this could be very, very bad for Republicans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a shocking revelation, a Medicaid scam in Colorado has been exposed, with a home health agency bilking the state out of $24 million. The agency, Ongoing Home Health, was recruiting homeless people and enrolling them in Medicaid, then paying them $150 per week to stay in houses owned by the agency's associates. But here's the kicker: the agency was also creating a church front to launder the money, making it look like donations to the church.

I WATCHED THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR’S DEBATE So you didn’t have too. Oof. It was super boring. My claim that it would be a milquetoast bloodbath was spot on. Kyle and Marshall asked softball after softball, never asking about Phil Weiser being Attorney General while crime and drug overdoses skyrocketed while he sued Trump. Never asked Michael Bennet who voted for bloated budget after budget in DC what his budget would look like in Colorado. What a waste of time, but if you think Polis and the Democratic Legislature were bad, wait until one of these guys gets into office. Bennet said he wants a budget destroying public option. They both said they would sign the labor bills Polis vetoes. They kept talking about affordability and then talking about more regulation in the next breath as if they aren’t inextricably linked. We are so screwed. As much as I hate to do this, you need to watch this debate. If for no other reason than see how bad things are going to get.

Last night's debate between the three gubernatorial candidates in Colorado was a wild ride, and our host is here to break it down for you. The conversation was filled with controversy, from Victor Marx's claims of rescuing thousands of people to Scott Bottoms' anti-Semitic remarks. But amidst all the drama, one thing is clear: the moderator, Kyle Clark, and his co-host, Marshall Zelinger, asked tough questions that got to the heart of the issues. But was it a fair debate, or was it a hit job? Mandy weighs in on the debate and shares her thoughts on the candidates' performances. The debate was a rollercoaster of emotions, with Victor Marx's claims of being a hero and Scott Bottoms' questionable statements about the Jewish community. But what really stood out was the way the moderator and co-host handled the questions. They didn't shy away from asking the tough ones, even when it got personal. But was it a fair debate, or was it a way to make the Republican candidates look bad? Our host shares her thoughts on the debate and what it means for the Colorado gubernatorial election. One of the most striking moments of the debate was when Victor Marx was asked about his claims of rescuing thousands of people. He couldn't provide a straight answer, and it raised questions about his credibility. Meanwhile, Scott Bottoms' comments about the Jewish community sparked outrage and left many viewers feeling uncomfortable. But what about Barb Kirkmeyer, the third candidate in the debate? Did she come out on top, or did she get lost in the shuffle? Mandy shares her analysis of the debate and what it means for the Colorado gubernatorial election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
