Jonathan Drake returns for The No Treason Podcast Ep. 6, continuing his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. Picking up with Sections 8 through 15, Jonathan exposes how the secret ballot, far from being a safeguard of liberty, is actually a tool of tyranny, shielding voters from accountability while empowering what Spooner calls “a secret band of robbers and murderers.” He unpacks Spooner's dismantling of the notion of consent in governance, explaining how elections, oaths of office, and the Constitution itself fail every test of natural law. With sharp humor and vivid analogies, from pork smoking and squirrels teaching natural law to the absurdity of “oaths given to the wind”, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century insights to modern politics and moral philosophy. It's a masterclass in understanding why secret governance and blind patriotism lead not to freedom, but to voluntary servitude.

Ballots are arriving ahead of the November 4 election, and Denverites are weighing Mayor Mike Johnston's big proposal of the year — the “Vibrant Denver” bond. It would represent almost $1 billion in new debt to fund infrastructure projects across the city, but will voters see a future of possibilities? Or will they swayed by the mayor's growing chorus of critics? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi sit down with Mayor Johnston to talk about the recent outrage over his extension of Flock surveillance contracts, his handling of the budget, and why he bought the Denver Pavilions mall on 16th Street. Paul referenced our interview with Fire Department Chief Desmond Fulton, “⁠Why Firefighters Are Getting Raises When the City Is Doing Layoffs⁠.” The mayor said that his proposed budgets for the fire and police departments were “mostly flat, but ⁠according to Axios Denver⁠ the mayor's proposed police budget for 2026 is up 2% to $281 million and ⁠according to our reporting⁠ his proposed fire budget is up about 1%, or $1.2 million, to $158,081,466. The mayor mentioned a police officer ⁠who was shot ⁠protecting a migrant shelter.  Per Paul's question about the criteria the mayor gave to Flock for any contract extension, the mayor's office shared ⁠this press release⁠ because the contract itself is still being reviewed by the city's attorneys.  What do you think about the mayor's defense of his contracts with Flock?

Voters in the Netherlands have begun casting their ballots in the country's general election. Polls suggest the hard-right anti-immigration party led by Geert Wilders is likely to win the most seats, however that doesn't mean he'll lead a new government. The campaign has been dominated by housing and immigration with concern about asylum seekers being scapegoated.

New York City voters will see several questions on their ballots that aim to make it easier to build housing. Alec Schierenbeck, executive director of the Charter Revision Commission argues in favor of the measures, and Lincoln Restler, New York City Council member (District 33, Greenpoint, Northside Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Vinegar Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn Navy Yard), explains why much of the City Council is opposed to the changes. Then, Andrew Berman, executive director of Village Preservation, shares why his group is opposed to ballot questions 2 through 4.

This is the 4pm All-Local update on Sunday, Oct. 26.

On this Thursday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid covers Republican nominee for Mayor of New York City Curtis Sliwa's blow-up on the morning show yesterday, following pressure from his former boss and colleagues to exit the race in favor of Andrew Cuomo, aiming to prevent Zohran Mamdani from winning. Sliwa argues that billionaires allegedly offered him bribes to drop out, now saying he requires armed security for his protection. Sid then details the ensuing second and final NYC Mayoral Debate that took place last night, which was fierce, with all three candidates addressing issues from crime to tax policy. Andrew Cuomo, Bill O'Reilly, Brian Kilmeade, Suzanne Miller & Tom Homan join Sid on this Friday-eve installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we sit down with Sandesh Sadalge, running for Tacoma's City Council seat representing District 4. We talk about the big issues that voters are thinking about this year and some of the big decisions facing the council next year. Check it out! Links Sandesh Sadalge Support Channel 253 with a membership A note from the host Hello! I'm Erik Hanberg! I've hosted the Citizen Tacoma podcast for the last four years. Before this, I served in elected office as a parks commissioner for 12 years and I was the executive director of City Club of Tacoma, where I also helped put on civic events and moderated debates. I deeply enjoy this work. I think of these candidate interviews as a public service to the community. I don't get paid for this. I'm curious about these candidates as much as you are. Forums and debates are great. But this kind of conversation gives you a different sense of the candidates. I think it's so interesting to hear candidates speak without a timer. Ok, quick overview of my rules: When I choose a race to cover, I email an invitation to every candidate in the race. I ask every candidate in the race the same set questions, though sometimes I asked some clarification questions depending on their answers. No one got the questions in advance and since I airing them all at once, no one was able to listen ahead.

Ballots are mailed in mid-October and the primary is November 4.
