Don and Tom kick off this episode with a satirical bang—mocking the apocalyptic tone of a MarketWatch article about the “Fourth Turning,” a cyclical doom prophecy claiming America faces a cataclysmic reset every 80–100 years. Citing wars, depressions, and now AI, wealth taxes, and the fall of the dollar, the hosts break down the fatalistic tone, expose the fear-marketing behind it, and reassure listeners that, historically, markets have recovered—and rewarded long-term investors. 0:04 Faux alien warning: the Fourth Turning economic apocalypse is coming 1:16 Dissecting the MarketWatch article and the “Fourth Turning” theory 2:26 Peak catastrophe by 2030?

A quiet Albuquerque morning explodes with color as hundreds of hot air balloons drift past our backyard—and then we tackle the issues weighing our city and country back to earth. We start with the glossy claims in a high-profile mayoral ad and the real scoreboard on crime, homelessness, and empty shelter beds. From there, we explain why debate thresholds exist, how polling and fundraising shape access to the stage, and what voters actually gain when formats keep the focus on candidates with a credible path.Then we pull the thread on policy that looks busy but solves little. The recent special session delivered small wins, yet dodged the crises people feel daily: a statewide doctor shortage, brutal malpractice premiums, and long waits for basic care. We bring receipts—poll numbers showing appointment bottlenecks across ages, plus a New Mexico addiction specialist whose clean record couldn't keep him insured. Without tort reform and interstate licensure for telehealth, we're choosing lawsuits over lifesaving care.We widen the lens to national politics, dissecting the “clean CR” standoff, the optics no one is winning, and the cold calculus of timing pain versus shutting down government. Accountability matters locally, too: we examine a stunning Virginia attorney general scandal involving violent rhetoric and why character should be non-negotiable for a state's top law enforcement job. Finally, we challenge media narratives that downplay citywide disorder as “one block,” arguing for compassionate accountability over “suicidal empathy” that leaves residents unprotected.Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help us reach more listeners who care about real solutions—and tell us: what should lawmakers fix first, and what's the fastest path to get it done?Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Mayor Mark Shepherd Clearfield City, UT Mark Shepherd was born in Salt Lake City but grew up in Albuquerque, NM. He has lived in Clearfield for the past 23 years. Mark's ‘non-political' life includes being the Principal Broker for the Shepherd Real Estate Group, a local, independent real estate brokerage which he founded in 2018. His business focuses primarily on military relocation, both to and from Utah. Mark served nearly 9 years on the Clearfield Planning Commission before being elected to the City Council in 2007. After 6 years on the Council, Mark was elected as Clearfield City's Mayor in 2013 and is now in his second term in that position. Mark has served as an Honorary Commander for the 388th MXG for three years and is presently serving as the Honorary Commander for the 466th FS. He was appointed by Utah's Governor to serve on the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) which has responsibility for development of Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) properties throughout Utah. He serves on the Utah Defense Alliance and on the Board of Directors for the local Air Force Association chapter. He served for two years as the Chairman of the Military Communities Council for the National League of Cities, and now serves as the Vice-Chair for the Finance, Administration and Inter-governmental Affairs (FAIR) committee. Mark has been married to his wife Tammie for the past 31 years. They are the parents of seven children and three grandchildren. In his “spare” time, Mark will likely be found at a Real Salt Lake soccer game, searching for his ball at one of the local golf courses or at the gun range practicing his aim. Whichever activity that day might bring, you will almost always find one of his children by his side.

A funding lapse in Washington sets the stage, but the real story is how power, process, and language shape outcomes—from the Senate's 60‑vote math to a New Mexico special session that narrows what gets debated. We open by decoding the shutdown: why a seven‑week continuing resolution stalled, how polling and precedent drive the blame game, and why markets shrugged while politicians postured. Then we zoom into Santa Fe, where a fast‑tracked agenda centers on health policy—especially a quiet but consequential shift that would remove CDC ACIP as the reference for school immunization schedules and lean on the state health department and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We unpack what that means for scientific independence, conflicts of interest, and public trust, and make the case for more—not fewer—credible voices in the room.From statehouse to city hall, we tackle Albuquerque's sanctuary city status. Polling shows majority support when the policy is framed as non‑cooperation “except when required by law,” but a mayoral order adding a hotline to alert residents about ICE activity raises safety and operational concerns. We connect those dots to voters' top anxieties—crime and homelessness—and explore how perceptions of safety track party identity more than daily reality, complicating honest problem‑solving.Campaign sparks fly in the Democratic gubernatorial primary over policy authorship, reminding us that voters care less about who wrote a plan and more about who can deliver measurable results. The temperature spikes again when a state representative compares ICE to the KKK—rhetoric condemned by law enforcement and flagged here for what it is: reckless. We close with a practical bright spot—drug pricing reforms tied to most‑favored‑nation benchmarks and a “Trump RX” fallback that could drive substantial savings for Medicare, Medicaid, and consumers if implemented with transparency and competition in mind.If you value sharp analysis without the spin, follow the show, share this episode with a friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find it.

Mark also dives into how he finds most of his properties off-market, why he avoids “partner-ships,” and how DCR loans and private lending allow him to finance his projects without outside investors.

The political landscape in New Mexico is heating up with the Democratic gubernatorial race between Deb Haaland and Sam Bregman taking center stage. What started as a relatively quiet contest has evolved into a strategic battle of positioning, with Holland's team landing the first significant blow by exposing plagiarized content in Bregman's ambitious 189-page policy document. This exchange perfectly illustrates their competing approaches: Bregman aggressively seeking debates while Haaland maintains a more measured stance, highlighting the authenticity questions that may plague her opponent.Albuquerque's mayoral race presents another fascinating political study. While incumbent Tim Keller leads in the polls with 29% support against former Sheriff Darren White's 16%, the numbers reveal potential vulnerability. With 60% of voters saying "it's time for someone else" and undecided voters outnumbering Keller supporters, the race could be headed for a competitive runoff where Keller's underwater favorability rating might prove decisive.The healthcare crisis in New Mexico continues to deepen, with a controversial op-ed by attorney Brian Cologne defending trial lawyers while seemingly ignoring the devastating impact of the state's regulatory environment on healthcare access. As one listener pointedly asked: what good is having powerful lawyers when families can't find doctors to treat their sick children? This tension between legal accountability and healthcare accessibility represents one of the state's most pressing challenges.On the national front, Portland's handling of protests around ICE facilities highlights a troubling prioritization of political positioning over public safety. Despite ranking as America's second most dangerous city, local officials reject federal assistance while simultaneously failing to provide adequate local police protection to affected neighborhoods, leaving residents to fend for themselves amid nightly violence.We also explore the Trump administration's focus on potential links between Tylenol and autism, the looming government shutdown negotiations, and even tackle the surprisingly complex question of appropriate wedding gift amounts in 2023. From political showdowns to practical advice, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the issues shaping our communities and nation.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Get ready for an explosive episode of the Mike Drop podcast, where we dive into the gritty, unfiltered life of Chief Special Warfare Operator Kevin Kent. With over two decades in the SEAL teams, Kevin's story is a rollercoaster of high-stakes missions, near-death experiences, and lessons learned the hard way. From dodging tracers in the chaotic streets of Iraq during the 2003 deployment to navigating the wild aftermath of liberty incidents, Kevin's journey is a raw testament to the resilience and grit it takes to thrive in the world's most elite fighting force. His tales of camaraderie, chaos, and personal growth will pull you in and keep you on the edge of your seat. This episode isn't just about war stories—it's about the man behind the trident. Kevin opens up about his roots as an Army brat, growing up in Tennessee with a disciplined EOD father who shaped his path to the SEALs. He shares the pivotal moments that drove him to push past doubt and physical limits, from a regret-fueled high school football exit to grueling factory jobs that prepped him for BUD/S. With humor and candor, Kevin reflects on the mishaps—like a bar brawl in Albuquerque that nearly derailed his career—and the triumphs that defined his 20-year tenure. Whether it's serving high-risk warrants in New Mexico or mentoring actors in Hollywood, his multifaceted life as a SEAL, comedian, stuntman, and podcast co-host shines through. Buckle up as we explore the chaos, courage, and clarity of Kevin Kent's remarkable journey. From the battlefield to the big screen, he's lived a life most can only imagine, and he's here to share the unvarnished truth. Whether you're drawn to the adrenaline of combat, the brotherhood of the teams, or the unexpected turns of a SEAL's career, this episode delivers it all with the raw intensity you expect from Mike Drop. Don't miss this deep dive into a warrior's world, where every story is a lesson, and every lesson is hard-earned. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
