It's Tuesday, August 4, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed and Adam McManus Amnesty Int'l apologized for smearing Christians and pro-lifers Some good news on the Christian persecution front today.   Amnesty International has officially apologized for publishing a report that accused 117 Christian and pro-life groups in the UK as “anti-rights.”   In the apology, Amnesty admitted the report “should never have been published” and fell “significantly short” of its standards for research. The report had attacked the Evangelical Alliance, Christian Concern, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, The Christian Institute, The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association UK as well as crisis pregnancy centers. Oil is slowing through Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-al-Mandab strait Transporting oil and other goods out of the Middle East has become a real problem. Now the problem has reached its highest crisis point since the wars in the region fired up in the spring.  BBC reports the situation is far worse now, with Iranian pressure at the Strait of Hormuz, and Yemen Houthi pressure put on the Bab-al-Mandab Strait into the Red Sea. Only 10-15 ships a day pass through the Strait of Hormuz. That's about one-eighth the normal shipping flow. And the Bab-Al-Mandab Strait is only getting about 25-30 ships a day. That's about half the normal flow.  Saudi Arabia and Iran's economies both took a hit Saudi Arabia's economy took a 4.8% hit in the 2nd Quarter of this year. Iran is looking at a 5.4% decline for the year, according to International Monetary Fund numbers. Iran is also dealing with 68% inflation this year. Drought and fires impacting Europe God's hand has fallen hard on Western Europe. The United Kingdom experienced its driest July in nearly 200 years. Much of the nation is in drought. France recently battled its largest recorded wildfire, following months of drought and extreme heat. Parts of the Danube River have dropped to the lowest levels in 30 years. Italy's River Po has also registered a historic low. And Germany's Rhine River is at its lowest level since 2018. And fires in Spain and France took down over a million acres, resulting in the destruction of about 300 structures. Syrians & Haitians, here temporarily, were supposed to self deport Monday Here in the United States, 356,000 U.S. immigrants on Temporary Protected Status were ordered to leave by August 3rd. Presently this affects Syrians and Haitians, but may eventually impact another 1,000,000 immigrants from other countries.   This comes after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued last month backed the Trump administration's policy to end Temporary Protected Status. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security website is encouraging self-deportation, offering free travel, and a $2,600 bonus to get them out. New York is pushing assisted suicide and the nuns are pushing back The state of New York is pushing medically-assisted suicide, and a group of Catholic nuns are protesting. The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm and the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne have been granted a reprieve by a federal district court. They will not have to counsel terminally ill patients or assist them with medically assisted suicide, at least for now, according to the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty. Christian physician assistant vindicated for opposing transgender insanity A Christian physician's assistant won her court case in Michigan.  Valerie Kloosterman, a University of Michigan Health-West health worker, was fired five years ago, because of her stance against transgenderism and her affirmation of biblical principles. The health system agreed to pay $410,000 to Kloosterman and her attorneys, while also pledging to “create a religious accommodation policy in accordance with the law, notify and train all its employees, [and] grant reasonable religious accommodations without retaliation.”   Armed citizens stopped mass murderer at Idaho In-N-Out  Burgers Two armed citizens stopped a mass murderer at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho over the weekend. Police Chief Matthew Hicks recognized the two heroes for their courageous actions taken when they returned fire on the assailant. HICKS: “We can confirm that there was an off-duty state trooper and a citizen who actively engaged the suspect by returning gunfire towards him. We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident. We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.” Three died and seven more were wounded in the rampage. The suspect, who used an AR-style rifle, now identified as Chad Williams, died as a result of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The New York Post reported that Terry Dudley, a taxi driver in Twin Falls, was among those hit by bullets, according to a GoFundMe account to raise money for his medical expenses.  Dudley, a widower and father-of-four, was shot twice in the back as he charged his Tesla. Massachusetts considers birthday abortions without exceptions The state of Massachusetts is on the verge of allowing abortions up until birth without any exceptions.  Dr. Christina Francis with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, commented on the measure. She said, “It is never medically necessary to purposely end the life of a pre-born child in order to save her mother. Under certain circumstances where a pregnancy complication threatens a mother's life, a physician must separate mom from baby, sometimes when the baby is too young to survive outside the womb.”  Both houses have approved the bill — now awaiting the governor's signature. Maura Healey is Massachusetts's first lesbian governor.   Call Governor Healy at (617) 725-4005 or (413) 784-1200 and urge her not to sign this law that allows abortionists to kill babies on their birthdays. You can also email her through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Americans elected three homosexual governors Americans have elected three homosexual governors: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, and Colorado Governor Jared Polis. The Wisdom book of Proverbs reminds us that “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” (Proverbs 29:2.) Support for homosexual faux marriage is collapsing Support for homosexual faux marriage is collapsing in the states. The latest YouGov Economist poll finds only 54% of Americans now in favor of legalizing the practice, while 32% oppose. The percentage of those who approved of the legalization of homosexual faux marriage peaked in the United States about three years ago at 70%. Washington state fires burned 6,000 acres Those fires in Washington state have burned down about 6,000 acres, including 700 structures. Over 60,000 people have been evacuated from the Spokane area. Christian singer booted from Alaska Airlines flight over “preaching” Christian singer Whitney Lynn's website describes her as an internationally-recognized evangelist, singer, songwriter, and deliverance minister with millions of Instagram views. Last week, before an Alaska Airlines flight took off because of some delay, Whitney stood up and boldly shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a relevant and pithy manner to the captive audience on the plane. Listen to what she said as she filmed herself. LYNN: “Hello, everybody. Good morning. I know we're all waiting. It's kind of frustrating, right? This wait? But I want to tell you that God's timing is perfect, and God knows everything. Maybe He's sparing us from danger today. “So, I want you to rest and know that Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died on the cross for your sins. He rose again in three days. He's alive and He's the one true God. But the wages of our sin is death. Hell forever. “Apart from Jesus, we won't make it to Heaven. But He loves you so much. Make him Lord. Repent of your sins. He is coming back very soon. I pray protection over this flight, in the name of Jesus. Amen.” Oddly enough, the airline staff said they felt “unsafe” and proceeded to escort her off the plane. As she was making her way down the aisle to get off the plane, Whitney dialogued with a male Alaska Airlines flight attendant on video. FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “The crews don't feel safe with you.” LYNN: “They don't feel safe? FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Yeah.” LYNN: “Oh my gosh! I didn't know the message of Jesus Christ was unsafe. Wow! Do I have any guns or anything like that? No, I don't. “So, freedom of speech is not safe. I tell you what this is. It's called spiritual warfare. Is it a crime? Is it against the law? Can you tell me that? I'm just asking you a question. FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “I'm not going to answer any more questions.” LYNN: “I'm getting my stuff as I'm talking. So, can you answer the question? Is it against the law? To preach the gospel? FLIGHT ATTENDANT:  “I don't need to answer any questions.” LYNN:  “You can. You sure can. Last days. People can't talk about Jesus anymore. That's how you know there's power in that name. Makes people feel unsafe. That's sad, very sad. “Well, God bless everybody. If you know Jesus today, make Him Lord of your life and continue to spread the Gospel. Persecuted to be a Christian, it's coming. We're gonna go to jail.” Whitney Lynn has now been banned for future travel on Alaskan Airlines as well as a few other carriers. Proverbs 28:1 notes that, “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” You can write Shane Tackett, the president of Alaska Airlines to object to their decision to ban Christian singer Whitney Lynn. His address is 19300 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA 98188.  Or call: 1 (800) 252-7522. TN listener calls newscast the hub, challenges listeners to evangelize Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes newscast, Jeff Thompson in Sevierville, Tennessee emailed me and said, “Adam, I want to make two points. First, I see your ministry like a large wagon wheel with many spokes going out in all directions. Your newscast is at the hub, goes out and reaches all points on the compass. You will never know, this side of Heaven, the effect your ministry has had on the lives of the people and what they did with the information you shared. “You are doing a work that the Lord gave you to do. So, He will move the hearts of His people to provide the means to complete the work. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' “Second, I would challenge The Worldview listeners to be like the sons of Issachar. In 1 Chronicles 12:32, it explains that the men ‘understood the times and knew what Israel should do.'  Be intentional in your walk with Christ. Remember to obey our Lord and take the Gospel into all the world. Show the love of Jesus to everyone in your sphere of influence. If we obey this command and love those around us, I can promise that you will have a full and exciting life.” 26 Worldview listeners gave $12,870.83 And finally, by Monday night at 10:30pm Central, 26 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

Extra Print Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelensky met Trump at White House Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Trump at the White House in Washington D.C. last week, reports the Guardian. For Netanyahu, it was his first time back at the White House since hostilities commenced with Iran in late February. The meeting also comes as domestic support for Israel continues to slip, while the Iran war is driving up oil prices before the midterms. In his meeting with Zelensky, President Trump discussed ongoing support for the Ukrainian war effort against Russia. Zelensky stated, “We also spoke about diplomacy. It's important that the diplomatic process be reinvigorated. Our teams will arrange the details of their further communication. I am grateful to the United States for its firm support.”

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 3, 2026. We open with the numbers behind Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that the media isn't telling you — 96% of taxpayers receiving a tax cut earned less than $200,000 a year, 70% earned less than $100,000, and households between $50,000 and $100,000 received an average reduction of over $815. We dig into what those numbers actually represent — 29 million filers claiming no tax on overtime, 7.5 million claiming no tax on tips, 35 million seniors claiming the enhanced senior deduction, 40 million families claiming the enhanced child tax credit, and 127 million taxpayers claiming the doubled standard deduction. We also explain why a tax code is more than a collection of rates — it's a statement about what a government chooses to encourage, and when you tax work and savings and punish overtime, you get less of all three. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency ruling allowing Alabama to proceed with its congressional maps — overruling lower courts that had blocked the state from using the old map even after the Supreme Court itself had reversed its earlier ruling requiring minority-majority districts. Then longtime CBS News anchor Scott Pelley was fired after publicly confronting the new 60 Minutes executive producer at a staff meeting, calling him unqualified and accusing CBS News leadership of trying to kill the show — and refusing to make peace afterward. We note that anyone who refuses to acknowledge there has been a bias problem at CBS News is not capable of being part of fixing it. And Samsung announced it is moving its U.S. corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, Texas — following ExxonMobil, which announced its own departure from New Jersey the week before. New Jersey has the highest corporate income tax rate in the country. Texas has zero. We also cover Colorado Governor Jared Polis signing a law requiring college and university health centers to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs — meaning one of the primary services a Colorado college campus must now provide is access to pills designed to end pregnancies. We ask what would happen if that same level of energy were directed toward helping pregnant students continue their education and carry their children to term. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins the conversation on the California elections — where at the time of broadcast, Steve Hilton leads Xavier Becerra in the governor's race and Spencer Pratt trails Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayor's race with about half the votes counted. We discuss why NBC was already telling viewers that mail-in ballots would push Pratt to third place before counting was even finished, why Brazil counted 124 million ballots in two hours while California is projecting 37 days for 10 million, and why the SAVE Act matters more after watching California's election unfold in real time. We also cover Democratic Congresswoman Camlager Dove shouting at Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a congressional hearing and then walking out before he could answer — and Rubio's perfectly measured response, which sounded remarkably like a man watching his wife leave the room mid-argument. We make the point that committee hearings have stopped being about answers and started being entirely about social media soundbites. In our Digging Deep segment, 1,100 STEM professors in California have written a letter begging the state to restore standardized testing after the University of California system dropped ACT and SAT requirements during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. The results are in — the number of college students whose math skills fall below high school level has increased nearly 30-fold, with 70% of those students performing below middle school level. Professors are being forced to reteach middle school algebra while simultaneously teaching college-level engineering and sciences. We explain why eliminating standards doesn't help minority students — it abandons them, and then blames the test for their unpreparedness rather than the system that failed to prepare them. We also cover a Breitbart roundtable discussion on America's greatest strategic advantage in the AI race against China — and the surprising conclusion that it isn't technology, military power, or economic strength. It's the human soul. Communism, by suppressing religion, individuality, and free will, has weakened the very thing that separates humans from machines. The founders protected that, and it still matters. For our Bright Spot, DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen testified that the border wall is on track for completion from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America by this time next year — with all contracts out by end of month, a secondary wall being added in high-traffic areas, and a smart wall system that deploys drones the moment sensors detect a breach. We call it exactly what it is — a promise made, a promise being kept. We also note that Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut is now saying that 77 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are ignorant and uninformed. We respond briefly and move on. And we close with Leah Wilson, who heard crows cawing around a rain gutter, called the fire department, rescued an injured crow, and held its claw on the drive to the wildlife center. The crow recovered, was banded, and released. A couple of days later, while walking her dog, a crow dove down and dropped a bundle of feathers at her feet. Now they bring her gifts every day. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis' decision to grant clemency to Tina Peters predictably blows up in his face. Brian interviews California gubernatorial candidates Matt Mahan and Xavier Becerra and North Carolina Supreme Court justice Anita Earls.Pre-order The Day After here: https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/thedayafter Written by Brian Tyler CohenProduced by Sam GraberRecorded in Los Angeles, CASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a shocking move, Colorado Governor Jared Polis granted clemency to Brandon Kreutzer, a man who was convicted of a crime spree that included multiple burglaries, armed robbery, and a high-speed chase where he and his co-defendant took shots at police officers. One of the bullets hit a deputy's windshield, while the other struck the deputy, who miraculously survived. This episode delves into the details of Kreutzer's case and the governor's decision to commute his sentence. The District Attorney of the 23rd Judicial District, George Brauchler, joins the conversation to share his perspective on the matter. He explains that Kreutzer's co-defendant, received a 45-year sentence, while Kreutzer himself was given 50 years. Brauchler expresses his outrage over the governor's decision, citing several inaccuracies in the justification provided. Brauchler points out that the governor's office based their decision on incorrect information, including a claim that Maudy was six months younger than Kreutzer, which is actually true, but the implication that Maudy received a lighter sentence is false. He also highlights the governor's lack of understanding of the criminal justice system and the laws that govern it. Tune in to this episode to hear the full conversation and learn more about the complexities of the case and the governor's decision.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is criticizing recent comments from Prime Minister Carney, who is currently overseas. During an interview, Carney didn't see Canada's integration with America in the Energy sector as a point of leverage in trade negotiations. He is now wrapping up a trip to Europe, where he is expected to announce more support for Ukraine. On today's show: Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu announces new supports for workers and Canadians living with disabilities. Vassy goes 1-on-1 with Colorado Governor Jared Polis about the impact of U.S. tariffs, and how his state his faring during the trade war. Tech Check with tech analyst Carmi Levy: Why some Canadian parents are opposing an Australian-style social media ban. The Daily Debrief Panel - featuring Zain Velji, Tom Mulcair, and Tim Powers. Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon talks about the newly-approved Canada-USA pipeline route, which could see more Canadian crude flowing to that state. TSN 690's Jon Still joins us from Montreal, where an ecstatic Canadiens fanbase is soaking in a Game 7 triumph over Tampa Bay.

For years, quantum computing has sounded like something straight out of science fiction. Now, it's getting real. The industry is rapidly advancing, major breakthroughs are coming into view, and quantum could soon begin reshaping everyday life—just as artificial intelligence has in recent years. In this episode, WGA Communications Specialist Eli Jaynes speaks with Colorado Governor Jared Polis, University of New Mexico Professor Ivan Deutsch, and Atom Computing's Chief Product Officer, Justin Ging, about the state of the industry and where it's headed next.  He also speaks with Professor Heather Lewandowski from the University of Colorado and Gwen Leifer from Lockheed Martin about efforts to develop a quantum workforce capable of taking this industry to the next level. 

Ohio's Secretary of State defends giving the DOJ voter data, a preliminary military investigation finds it probably was the U.S. that struck an Iranian school and Colorado Governor Jared Polis considers clemency for convicted election denier Tina Peters.

David Waldman delivers us to the middle of the week, which is pretty good, considering the week so far. Greg Dworkin, a nice guy who can always be trusted, delivers a paradoxical raft o' stories out of ExTwitter, an awful place that can never be trusted. Yesterday, we had primary elections in Texas, North Carolina and Arkansas, the first elections of the 2026 midterm campaigns.  Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are both fantastic, but James Talarico will now be the fantastic Democratic candidate. Trump has to pick the winner from his losers. We won't have Dan Crenshaw to kick around anymore, but neither will Mike Johnson. Democratic voters in Texas were left to wander around, looking for their precinct which is just how Gops wanted it. For something that was designed to finally completely strangle Jeffrey Epstein, permanently rig democracy, and usher in the Millennial Kingdom of Christ on earth, this whole "Iran war" thing is becoming a little too complex for Donald K. Trump. Iran is breaking our expensive stuff, worrying our rich people and hardly being cooperative. (And killing some soldiers.)  It is also very confusing because we are not at war with Iran, while they have been at war with us for decades… Everything is moving so fast! At least we got all the important people out. The few thousand in business class stranded there dumb enough to rely on the US to get them out can leave a message with details on how they would like their bodies to be IDed.  Colorado Governor Jared Polis is probably going to taco (jaco? paco?) on Tina Peters' state prison time. The DOJ will lay off targeting law firms that Trump doesn't like… psyche! They're totally still targeting the law firms.

Colorado State Universities newest veterinary hospital nears its completion of constriction, A prominent Fort Collins real estate developer has been named in the Epstein Files, Colorado's Department of Corrections and Colorado Governor Jared Polis face a judges ruling on forced labor found to be occurring in state prisons

Our first guest is Alex Swoyer, editor-at-large at The Washington Times, where she covers law and politics in Washington. Alex also hosts "The Sitdown with Alex Swoyer" and writes the popular column "Seen, Heard & Whispered." She joins us to break down how House Republicans are currently outpacing Democrats as the midterms approach. While Republicans do not hold a lead in the Senate, they face the challenge of defending their majority while also working to pick up additional seats. Growing frustration among Democratic voters is beginning to show up in fundraising numbers, with money shifting away from the party amid a widening leadership vacuum. Alex also recently authored an article highlighting how Melania Trump has accomplished more in one year than Jill Biden did in four. Melania has focused her efforts on protecting children and working with international leaders to address global challenges, particularly the growing threat social media poses to young people. Her recent documentary underscores both the strength of her partnership with President Trump and the lasting impact of her work on behalf of American families. Next, Jon Fleischman joins us to discuss new polling from the Pew Research Center showing Donald Trump struggling with middle-of-the-road voters. Among all voters, Trump's approval stands at 37 percent, with disapproval at 61 percent. More notably, some of the decline is coming from within the Republican base itself—Republican approval has dropped to 67 percent, with 18 percent of GOP voters now saying Trump is headed in the wrong direction. Jon also explains one of the core challenges facing any president: the Constitution deliberately divides power across branches of government, meaning a president cannot immediately fix issues like interest rates or consumer prices. We also discuss how Trump-era policies are being implemented differently in red versus blue states. One key provision in the "Big Beautiful Bill" is an Education School Choice Scholarship program. Under the plan, taxpayers can direct up to $1,700 of their federal tax liability to a nonprofit that supports school choice, with that amount credited directly against their federal tax bill—creating a substantial new funding stream for school choice. Participation requires approval from a state's governor. So far, 27 states have signed on for the program beginning in 2027, including 25 states with Republican governors and one Democrat, Colorado Governor Jared Polis. Finally, Jessica Millan Patterson joins us to discuss how Governor Gavin Newsom continues to "fail up," remaining fixated on his presidential ambitions rather than governing California. The consequences of Newsom's leadership are increasingly being felt not just within California, but in neighboring states as well. From energy policy to environmental regulations, California's approach is often counterproductive undermining its own goals by restricting access to cleaner domestic natural resources. As Jessica lays out, Newsom has it wrong on: 1.     Housing 2.     Education 3.     Crime 4.     High-Speed Rail 5.     Water

Joe Oltmann Untamed tackles the explosive arrest of Brian Cole, the Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, just before the January 6 riots. With fresh updates from Fox News and eyewitness video of the Woodbridge standoff, we'll dive into the FBI's five-year investigation, the $500,000 reward, and Cole's alleged anarchist ties, as reported by the Daily Mail. Plus, we'll slam Colorado Governor Jared Polis, dubbed a “SLEAZEBAG” by President Trump on Truth Social, for his role in the ongoing Tina Peters saga.Financial expert Vince Lanci joins us to unpack the silver market's wild 83.52% yearly surge, and the looming AI bubble threatening U.S. equities. With 30 years in commodities and his acclaimed GoldFix newsletter, Vince will share battle-tested strategies from Echobay Partners to navigate U.S. policy impacts and China's silver supply crunch. Don't miss his take on whether the AI boom mirrors the dot-com bust, backed by BlackRock data and Yahoo Finance's “air pocket” warning. We welcome Peter Ticktin for a Tina Peters update, exploring her legal battle with new documents like the BOP's transfer request and an emergency motion for bond release due to her mother's life-threatening injuries. From his bold call for the 101st Airborne to free Peters to challenging Colorado's justice system, Ticktin's decades of legal prowess shine. With the court backlog and Polis' stance in focus, we'll grill him on strategy and evidence. Stay untamed—truth awaits!

Colorado Governor Jared Polis is term-limited and rumor is he's got his eye on a run for president, but are his signature dorky online antics ready for the national stage? Producer Olivia Jewell Love has been obsessed with the way Polis presents himself online. So as we prepare for the special legislative session (and another great opportunity for a signature Polis stunt) next week, she researched everything from his earliest posts and blogs to his latest prime-time antics. Today, Olivia is on with fellow chronically online politics watcher Adrian Felix and producer Paul Karolyi to parse Polis' most cringeworthy moments and talk about our very online governor. Why is he like this? And is it working for him? We're doing our annual survey to learn more about our listeners. We'd be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it's only 7 minutes long. You'll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card–and City Cast City swag.

A bipartisan group of governors is sounding the alarm about Space Force leadership “aggressively pushing a plan” to move Air National Guard units to the Space Force without states' consent.  While the move has not occurred, there are indications that the units will be shifted to the Space Force by the end of the year. Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said that there has been “no formal notification to, coordination with, or consent obtained from the impacted states.” The statement revives a Biden-era fight over the future of Air National Guard space units and whether they can be moved to the active-duty Space Force without obtaining approval from state governors as required by law.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss Colorado Governor Jared Polis signing the most sweeping and restrictive gun bill in the state's history into law and what that says about gun politics in the Democratic Party.

On this episode we'll look back at how far we've come, how far we still have to go, and interview one of our favorite guests, Colorado Governor Jared Polis.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis is more pro-freedom than many politicians. He's a rare democrate who talks about economic freedom and individual liberty. But I have problems with some things Polis believes. He wants to force businesses to provide services for gay weddings. He signed universal pre-k, and Colorado lags in school choice. Polis is also unusual because most Democrats won't debate ideas with me. He will.

Rundown -    Shad Murib - 08:19   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:36:50   "If God Was Watching" by Dave Gunders - 01:53:53   Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's Speech - 01:57:52   Find out why Colorado Dems elected this dynamic leader. Murib grew up in Littleton, Colorado, the son of Arab Lebanese immigrants. Murib learned valuable life lessons growing up in his south Denver suburb, especially when his sibling announced as a lesbian. Murib is a proud progressive.   As a Democratic stalwart with talent, Shad Murib has worked for and with Senator John Hickenlooper, Colorado AG Phil Weiser and Colorado Governor Jared Polis. He's married to former State Senator Kerry Donovan and they were married by their friend and political colleague, State Senator Dylan Roberts.    We find out about the Copper Bar Ranch that Shad and Kerry own and run high up in Edwards, Colorado. They raise Scottish Highland cattle and wait till you hear the taste described, especially the tenderloin. Stress-free ethical slaughter makes the taste difference. Hear it explained at the end. https://www.thecopperbarranch.com/   This name-dropping episode features further mentions of Colorado's top elected officials with a special shout-out to Rep. Jason Crow and Senator Michael Bennet for their dedication to trying to protect freedom in Ukraine. The host and guest salute the performance of President Biden too, standing up to Putin, Trump and the GOP.   Colorado Republican Chair Dave Williams gets discussed, including his taunts at his party chair counterpart. When MAGA goes low, Shad Murib responds with winning policies, strategies and powerful responses. The process in the Colorado CD4 special election necessitated by Rep. Ken Buck's resignation is thoroughly explained.   Murib intends for Democrats to be competitive in every part of Colorado including CD5. What will the impact be of Trump's endorsements of Boebert (CD4) and Dave “Let's Go Brandon” Williams in CD5? The connections of Putin to Trump to MAGA-GOQP gets reviewed with Murib worried about fascism.   Shad Murib goes on Fox News and will debate any semi-honest broker, but we discuss how far gone Twitter (X) is now with Elon Musk platforming the likes of Alex Jones. Modern media get discussed as do conflicts amongst Dems at the Colorado Capitol.   DA races are partisan in Colorado as are Sheriff races. Dems need to compete smarter and harder especially with disingenuous MAGA law enforcers refusing to enforce gun laws like Red Flag which they do not like. Local races are big, but the huge political issue is Trump v the rest of us. Dems must lead us now. ​​ https://www.coloradodems.org/   Troubadour Dave Gunders provides a lively conversation about the NYC trial delay. He also loved the SOU by POTUS.

Our friends at City Cast Salt Lake picked this fight, and we're finally hashing it out.
