On this episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Joe delivers a fiery update on where he's been straight from the front lines of the Eric Coomer deposition in the Patrick Byrne case, where accountability for Dominion lies and election fraud cover-ups is finally closing in. He breaks down the ticking clock on Coomer's deceptions, his lawyers' thuggish antics (including an assault on an 80-year-old attorney), and why truth is surfacing with consequences coming fast, plus fresh ties to Mark Cook's Dominion Serv-U exposé and the FBI raid on Fulton County Election HQ.Denver Mayor Mike Johnston vows resistance to federal enforcement, echoing Colorado Dems like Sen. Julie Gonzales and Rep. Yara Zokaie calls to defund ICE, while Philly DA Larry Krasner spews venom at agents deporting criminals. From Ilhan Omar's "spray" incident nurses protesting Sen. Collins over ICE funding while ignoring Laken Riley's murder, to Ohio AG candidate Elliot Forhan's unhinged vow to execute Trump we expose the communist rhetoric targeting ICE, Trump, and everyday Americans.Colorado's descent takes center stage, ranked top 7 for residents fleeing due to Democrat destruction, a cop allegedly calling for headshots on ICE agents, the state defying federal vaccine schedules despite massive funding, teachers unions obsessing over phantom ICE school raids, and politicians ignoring no-tax-on-tips/overtime laws. We call out the cartel-like resistance harming families with homelessness, drugs, and lost futures demanding real accountability before it's too late.

Denverites are trying to square something: the city's about to lay off employees but at the same time it wants voters to approve nearly a billion dollars in projects. We ask Denver Mayor Mike Johnston about that, tensions with Trump, turning office towers into apartments, and the future of the Broncos. Then, remembering a Hiroshima survivor in Denver 80 years after the bombing. Plus, the State Fair is back with a new general manager with an eye on the future. And Kyle Hollingsworth of The String Cheese Incident has a new single: Colorado. 

Since many Americans' ancestors arrived at Ellis Island, the United States has experienced surges in immigration. But the largest escalation, surpassing even the peak at the turn of the 20th century, was during the Biden Administration. “In the U.S. and much of the world, we are living in an age of mass migration that has no precedent,” says David Leonhardt, editorial board director at The New York Times. What accounts for this upsurge and why has it fiercely divided republicans and democrats? Leonhardt speaks with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, and ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero about one of the most pressing and discordant issues of our time.

Mike Johnston is the mayor of Denver. I like Mike though we probably only agree about half the time. I've been looking forward to this conversation and hope you find it informative.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, in an interview for the Mayor's Desk series, details work on housing affordability, homelessness, and other growing pains amid the city's increasing popularity. Solutions include reducing building costs, incentivizing new construction, and taking better advantage of the metro region's extensive light rail network for transit-oriented development.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Wednesday announced the creation of a new police unit focused on downtown safety, a move that another official said would yield "significant changes in the crime map" for the corridor within a year and encourage people to come back. Joined by Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas and other city officials on the 16th Street Mall, Johnston said the success of the city depends on the success of downtown.“Downtown Denver is not just the backbone of Denver's economy, but it's the cultural and civic heart of the Mountain West," Johnston said in a news release. “These new public safety resources — coupled with $570 million in economic investments through the Downtown Development Authority, the completion of construction on 16th Street, and non-stop events and attractions all summer — downtown is well on its way to being the vibrant core of our city once again."

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and 14 of his top advisors, appointees and lawyers nicknamed themselves "Strike Force" and communicated about the city's migrant crisis through an end-to end encryption app, CBS News Colorado has learned.

(The Center Square) – Four sanctuary city mayors who spent millions of state and federal taxpayer dollars to accommodate illegal immigrants denied that blocking federal agents from deporting criminal migrants violated federal law at a committee hearing Wednesday. Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform committee grilled Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and New York City Mayor Eric Adams in a hearing Wednesday. The mayors defended restrictions they approved that prevented local authorities from cooperating with detainer and deportation requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials for illegal immigrants that committed crimes. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Full story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_9014c7d6-f9e5-11ef-a88b-8bea5954dcc1.html

There were hours of testimony, accusations and threats on Capitol Hill as Denver Mayor Mike Johnston defended the city's actions when it comes to immigration. Johnston was part of a panel of mayors called by Republicans to answer questions about their cities' immigration policies. Then, churches have historically been places of sanctuary. But in the immigration debate now underway, do they still fit into the discussion? Also, dozens of people have been caught in avalanches this winter in Colorado -- we re-share one man's amazing story of survival.

In the first hour of today's edition of the Dan Caplis Show, Dan looks at how Denver's local restaurant owners are finally standing up to Denver Mayor Mike Johnston by pointing out his lies and telling him just how 'not ok' Downtown Denver really is.

We go live to a press conference from 16th Street Mall in Denver, featuring police chief Ron Thomas and mayor Mike Johnston. The latter uses to opportunity to assure everyone the stabbing murders were an anomaly and statistics shows the city is actually getting safer - so there's nothing to worry about, come on down!

The incoming Trump administration's border czar, Tom Homan, announced that mass deportations will commence on January 21, 2025, beginning in Chicago. Targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records, this initiative has sparked fierce resistance from Democratic leaders. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston likened the plan to a "Tiananmen Square moment," despite the administration's insistence that enforcement focuses solely on criminal activity, not families or children. Critics argue that progressive mayors are prioritizing political theatrics over addressing community safety and economic burdens tied to unchecked illegal immigration. Conservatives view this as a necessary response to years of open-border policies that have strained local resources and increased crime. The deportation plan underscores a broader demand for accountability and a return to law and order, resonating strongly with voters frustrated by the failures of liberal immigration policies.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Democrats backing away from stupidity 3 Congratulations Americans, Patriots. Why am I congratulating you? Because YOU forced Democrats to regain part of their sanity. I'm not sure what step this is in the 12-step program, perhaps Step 12, but it's coming. I've NEVER seen an administration so decisive in its actions. The people being selected know their jobs. And they are already making an impact. The FBI is running scared. I saw that McCabe hates that Kash Patel has been picked to run the FBI. In any other Democratic circles, this pick would be heralded.

Another first for many reasons, but no hoopla over it.   And while we will soon feel the effects of the Trump economy first-hand and in a great way, the most impactful to date involves illegal immigration.[SEGMENT 2-2] Democrats backing away from stupidity 4   Remember when Johnston compared his city's commitment to protecting illegal immigrants to the iconic “Tank Man” moment during the Tiananmen Square protests? With zero irony, he boasted about deploying 50,000 angry soccer moms to protect migrants from deportation. “It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?” he gushed. This was the same guy who told federal immigration officials, “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants.” His bravado didn't last long. President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, responded with a mic drop: CNN's Kasie Hunt visibly stunned after playing a clip of Tom Homan saying he would gladly throw Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for defying Trump's deportation operation. This is the best video you will watch all day. Homan: Me and the Denver mayor agree on one thing. He's… pic.twitter.com/ab4XMw5GrK — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 28, 2024 “He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.” Now that reality has set in, Johnston is singing a different tune. He's gone from "Come get me, Bro!" to "Don't taze me, Bro!" With Denver's resources drained and voters increasingly restless, the mayor's focus has shifted from grandstanding to damage control. Funny how that works. Now that Tom Homan has threatened to throw Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in prison, he says he ”regrets” making tough guy comments about having his police force stand against federal forces to stop mass deportations “I certainly did not mean to stoke fear on either side of… pic.twitter.com/tB2yfn8csM — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) November 29, 2024 REPORTER: It sounds like you're walking back the comments from a couple days ago saying that you would be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret making those comments and now getting questions like this? JOHNSTON: Yeah. REPORTER: Me asking you about that, and I'm sure Denver police officers are now going home to their families and saying, "Hey, I hear the mayor is telling you that you might be deployed to face off against federal forces." Do you regret making those comments?  JOHNSTON: Yeah. What I wanted people to understand was the scale of what could be coming if we take the president at his word, which is I don't think anyone envisioned U.S. military troops being deployed to American streets to gather up women and children.  [SEGMENT 2-3] Democrats backing away from stupidity 5 Give me your Leftist position and I will show you multiple Democrats who are backing away from Biden administration policies. It's almost as if Democrats were PRAYING for somebody to bring back sanity.   Talk about backtracking. But Johnston made the right decision. Because the Trump administration is serious about enforcing the laws. And if it means locking up a few hard asses, then so be it. Sanctuary cities like Denver operate in open defiance of federal immigration laws. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 expressly prohibits policies that block local officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Despite this, Leftist mayors nationwide have flaunted sanctuary policies, betting that the Biden administration's Department of Justice would look the other way. But under Trump, that bet didn't pay off. His administration cracked down on sanctuary jurisdictions, threatening to withhold federal funding and enforce existing laws. This enforcement resonated with voters who saw sanctuary policies as a betrayal of their safety and sovereignty. Why Voters Backed Trump—and Why They'll Do It Again Trump's appeal in 2016 and beyond wasn't just about “building the wall.” It was about rejecting Leftist policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens. Sanctuary cities like Denver epitomize the broader Democratic Party's indifference to working-class Americans. When voters in Colorado and across the country see their tax dollars funding migrant shelters while their own communities crumble, it's no wonder they rally behind someone promising to put America first. Sanctuary City Spectacle: Comedy, Tragedy, or Both? The Democrats' immigration debacle is a tragicomedy of errors. Sanctuary policies like those in Denver don't just fail—they spectacularly implode, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Johnston's flip-flop from “Tiananmen Square defender” to reluctant realist underscores the absurdity of it all. At the end of the day, Johnston and his ilk are a symptom of a larger problem: a political party more interested in virtue signaling than governance. Illegal immigration is not a crisis of compassion; it's a crisis of competence. And as long as Leftists continue to prioritize their progressive agenda over the rule of law, cities like Denver will remain stuck cleaning up the mess. Thankfully for Denverites, Coloradans, and all Americans, this nonsense is about to come to a necessary and hopefully final end.   Dallas Mayor changes to MAGA Admittedly I treat these flip-floppers with skepticism. It's easy to abandon something when you see that it's a loser. And the Democrats as a party are losers. Still, the fundamental principles should preclude a switch. Take me for example. I can't stand the Republican Party. But I have never abandoned them, for three reasons. One, the Democrats are f'g crazy. Two, Republicans freed the slaves. Three, as Trump proved, Republicans are redeemable. Perhaps that why Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson flipped as well. He left the Democratic Party last fall. And some say that Johnson's departure should have served as an early warning for Democrats. Early? Democrats should have seen this coming since 2016.     Many political pundits were stunned when President-elect Donald Trump led Republicans to sweeping wins earlier this month, breaking apart traditionally Democratic coalitions to clinch a second term and secure majorities in the House and Senate.  The red wave didn't shock Johnson, however, who said during a Fox and Friends appearance this week that “it turns out I was kind of a canary in the coal mine.” “I didn't think I was going to be some anomaly that everyone needed to worry about,” he said. “I thought that I was going to be a harbinger of things to come.” On Fox & Friends @Johnson4Dallas discussed how @GOP mayors across the country are excited to work with @realDonaldTrump to deliver on the promise of making our cities great again. pic.twitter.com/BsMaQuJbNg — Republican Mayors Association (@GOPMayorsAssn) November 20, 2024 Johnson governed one of the largest cities in the country as a Democrat for over four years before shocking colleagues by joining Trump's MAGA movement. Citing desires to use conservative principles to restore urban centers like his own back to glory, the mayor said that too often, Democratic policies “exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals, and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living.” In the months leading up to the election, Trump received sharp criticism for saying Democrats had destroyed former manufacturing bastions and big cities like Detroit and Milwaukee.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Glad to be back I'm glad to be back. We took our son on another trip to prepare him for life in the real world. During the trip he thanked us, and said that his eyes were opened to how great we have it in America. Where we visited, people make 50 CENTS an hour. He simply couldn't fathom it. Just so you know, we were able to go, because we fly almost free. It costs us $30 each to fly out of the country. And we stayed almost for free. That being said, we still overspent because that's how other countries treat Americans. They tax us. I rented a car for $10 per day. But I HAD to get insurance that costs $250 for the duration of the visit, as a tax they put on Americans. No joke. I did this, because a taxi ride of about 10 miles cost $50. We asked what it would cost to go from our hotel to a location about 12 miles away, and we were told $80 EACH WAY. Anyway, we never expected to have to rent a car, but did. The good news is my son was impacted, and that's the reason for these trips. It's his senior year, and we will be empty-nesters soon. Last chance to imprint. I'm back, and we have so much to look forward to… First of all, YOU'RE WELCOME to all the Leftists out there. I and all of the people who listen to me saved your sorry butts from yourselves. Democrats are starting to realize how stupid Kamala Harris is. Did you see her video. It was bad. They paid over $1B to try to get that alcoholic elected. I guess they figured, “At least she's not totally brain-dead!” Andrew Gillum and Kamala Harris. Remember Gillum?  [SEGMENT 1-2] What I Missed   The Times is reporting that President-Elect Donald J. Trump has prepared an Executive Order for his First Day in Office, which would see the Medical Discharge of over 15,000 Transgender Servicemembers from the U.S. Military, as well as a Ban on Transgender Individuals from joining any Branch of the Armed Forces.   Reginald Denny is FREE. The guy who stopped a crazy man in the NYC subway system… Now you can rest assured that for the foreseeable future, things will be much better. America is a safer place, and in fact the WORLD is a safer place.  [SEGMENT 1-3] Democrats backing away from stupid policies 1   80% of asylum-seekers went on vacation to their countries of origin…   [X] SB – Democrat Congressman publicly wants to stop illegals A New York City Democrat Councilman, Robert Holden is now publicly calling to repeal the City's sanctuary status so President Trump can deport the enormous amounts of illegals currently occupying the city. "I love Tom Homan, the new border czar." "We're shielding [illegals]... The governors, the Democratic governors, and the mayors of these sanctuary cities are shielding criminals and terrorists." - Councilman Robert Holden. Bravo, sir, for having the balls to defy the DNC. I hope they don't start investigating and indicting you for going against their narratives. I bet there are many more Dems just like him who can't come out and say what they know is true because they fear political retribution.     https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/11/hochul-ill-be-first-call-ice-deport-immigrants-accused-crimes/401333/ As President-elect Donald Trump promises mass deportations of millions of immigrants across the country, Gov. Kathy Hochul indicated on Tuesday that New York state will cooperate to at least some extent with federal immigration authorities. Hochul said that while she supports legal immigrants, including asylum-seekers, she would be “the first one” to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport undocumented immigrants who break the law. The governor would not say what steps, if any, the state would take to protect the hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who are not recent arrivals seeking asylum.  During an unrelated press conference in Queens, Hochul drew a distinction between immigrants with “legal papers” and those “who commit crimes or are known to be criminals before they arrived here.”  “Someone breaks the law, I'll be the first one to call up ICE and say, ‘Get them out of here,'” Hochul said when asked how she would respond to Trump's plans for mass deportations and whether New York would be a sanctuary state under her leadership. “When those are identified, I'll be the first one to help get rid of them,” she added. “I don't want them here. I don't want anybody terrorizing my citizens.” The governor said that she would allow the asylum process to play out for eligible, law-abiding recent arrivals, and she said that she wants both asylum-seekers and those with Temporary Protected Status to receive authorization to work in the state. “Those who come here legally, we want to get them jobs,” Hochul said, adding that she supports keeping TPS for migrants who currently have it. Hochul has previously expressed a willingness to deport immigrants accused of crimes. She said in February that a number of migrants who were accused of assaulting police officers in Times Square should be deported, even before their cases went to trial. At least one migrant who was initially arrested in connection with the assault was ultimately found to have nothing to do with the incident.  [SEGMENT 1-4] Democrats backing away from stupidity 2   The Democrats have always been tough guys when they're running the show. Why? Because that's how cowards operate. They rig the system, cheat openly, and then brag about their so-called “mandates.” But when their policies start crumbling under scrutiny. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston took what he thought would be a bold stance against the Trump administration on illegal immigration. He essentially challenged Team Trump to a fight, "Come get me, Bro!" But look at illegal immigration by the numbers. [X] SB – Mike Johnston on standing up for illegals Negotiate with reasonable people. Restricting entry at the border     The National Picture: An Open Border Free-for-All Illegal immigration isn't just a line item on the evening news—it's a crisis that impacts every corner of American society. At the national level, Biden's open-border policies have resulted in unprecedented numbers of migrants flooding the U.S. In fiscal year 2023, more than 2.7 million migrants were encountered at the southern border. Add to that the untold number who slipped through, and it's clear we're dealing with numbers that rival the population of some states. The costs? Immense. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), illegal immigration costs American taxpayers $182 billion annually—a 30% increase since Biden took office. These costs hit everything: education, healthcare, law enforcement, and welfare programs meant for citizens. Colorado's Burden: A State Straining Under the Weight Colorado has felt the brunt of this influx. Sanctuary policies, like those proudly championed by Leftist officials in Denver, have turned the state into a magnet for migrants. The result? Overcrowded shelters, skyrocketing costs for social services, and increased pressure on local law enforcement. Denver alone spent over $20 million on migrant services in 2023—and that's just the official tab. Colorado voters aren't thrilled. In 2016, Donald Trump carried much of the rural state precisely because voters were fed up with policies that prioritized illegal immigrants over citizens. Leftists may call these folks “deplorables,” but they're the ones footing the bill for sanctuary policies they never agreed to. Denver: Sanctuary City Shenanigans Denver's self-inflicted wounds on illegal immigration are a case study in Leftist lunacy.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 expressly prohibits policies that block local officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Despite this, Leftist mayors nationwide have flaunted sanctuary policies, betting that the Biden administration's Department of Justice would look the other way. But under Trump, that bet didn't pay off. His administration cracked down on sanctuary jurisdictions, threatening to withhold federal funding and enforce existing laws. This enforcement resonated with voters who saw sanctuary policies as a betrayal of their safety and sovereignty. Why Voters Backed Trump—and Why They'll Do It Again Trump's appeal in 2016 and beyond wasn't just about “building the wall.” It was about rejecting Leftist policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens. Sanctuary cities like Denver epitomize the broader Democratic Party's indifference to working-class Americans. When voters in Colorado and across the country see their tax dollars funding migrant shelters while their own communities crumble, it's no wonder they rally behind someone promising to put America first. Sanctuary City Spectacle: Comedy, Tragedy, or Both? The Democrats' immigration debacle is a tragicomedy of errors. Sanctuary policies like those in Denver don't just fail—they spectacularly implode, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Johnston's flip-flop from “Tiananmen Square defender” to reluctant realist underscores the absurdity of it all. At the end of the day, Johnston and his ilk are a symptom of a larger problem: a political party more interested in virtue signaling than governance. Illegal immigration is not a crisis of compassion; it's a crisis of competence. And as long as Leftists [SEGMENT 2-4] Democrats backing away from stupidity 6   Zuckerberg wants to work with Trump…   What's the body count of people who now have to look stupid after Trump's victory?

The only reason you take somebody behind somewhere to fight is if you're afraid of getting your butt kicked. I remember as a kid, a big guy in Jr. High wanted to fight me at lunch, and said let's meet at the back of the building. I said, “I'm fighting you in the front of the building so everybody can see you get your butt kicked. There will be more than ONE version of the story, and the PEOPLE will decided.

In this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara and the panel dive right into the breaking news that special counsel Jack Smith asked a judge to drop all charges against President-elect Trump stemming from Smith's investigation into the January 6 U.S. Capitol breach. The decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump, and it would seem that all the dominos are falling into place. Sara and the panel shift the discussion to defiant Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, who compared his constituents' willingness to defend their sanctuary city and stand against the federal government to their Tiananmen Square moment. Prominent Republicans voiced their outrage, and Mayor Johnson was forced to walk back his incendiary remarks. The panel focuses attention on the absence of government relief and aid in hurricane-ravished North Carolina, where the North Carolina National Guard posted photos and video showing its around-the-clock assistance to all who needed aid, only for it to be exposed as older and outdated footage. Turns out the National Guard vacated the area some time before and was trying to appear as though Guardsmen were still on the ground helping the hurricane victims. The episode concludes with the re-emergence of Kamala Harris, who has been silent since her concession speech. Kamala Harris is back on the radar as her aides announced she is considering her political future with perhaps a 2026 California gubernatorial run or a 2028 presidential run in mind. Sara and the panel encourage her to make another bid for president in 2028. Sara is joined by Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker and BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden.

It's been as Joel put it, a crap show in rental car land. Over in Syracuse, which is not very far from me, I was just over there a few weeks ago now the employees at the Syracuse Airport Hertz location left their counter unattended, and they left about six hours early. There's a number of people that had landed in Syracuse and needed a car and there was no one at the counter. So what they decided to do is and about 20 of them decided to do this, they just took the keys that were available at the counter and then went on their way. And one of them was Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, was one of them that needed to be somewhere and didn't have ability to get a car and just grabbed some keys and left. Now, this created a lot of problems, right? Because all of a sudden these cars have disappeared. They don't know who have them, and they were starting to look for them. And now they're concerned that people that did this are concerned what's Hertz going to do to us? But I think they felt like at the time, Joel, that What else am I gonna do? If your employee's left, I need to get a car, I gotta go. Joel Saxum: Yeah, that's a Hertz problem. That's the way I look at it. Technically, it's probably theft, right? Like grand larceny or something like that. I don't know if it's larceny. Grand theft auto? Video games? GTA? Yeah but, it's illegal when you look at it, right? But I can understand being that I've been in that situation where you show up at 11 p. m., you've been traveling all day, and you're like, Worst. Where's my damn car? Like, where's the dang car that I want to go? And I don't know if there's one person in that group who was the first mover, right? There was a pioneer before the settlers. One person was like, screw it guys. Let's go. I'm grabbing these keys. I don't know who that is, but this, that's I don't know. There's some cojones there. Allen Hall: My recent experience with Hertz in Oklahoma was getting to the counter at about 1230 in the morning. And there not being a single car there. And then I was the second one into the little office they have. And then another person came and another person came and then pretty soon there's about 10 of us standing there and the Hertz employee who was attending the place and was trying to do the best that she possibly could said, I have two cars. I'm picking you and you. Just pointed at people. Wow. Yeah, I got one. I never get that. Philip Totaro: Allen, that's like a Seinfeld episode right there. You guys know how to take a reservation, but you don't know how to hold a reservation. Allen Hall: I felt horrible because I was meeting Joel the next morning. I really needed this car. We were going far off into Oklahoma, but there were all kinds of military people there that had things to do, too. Everybody had something to do. So they're, Uber was their best friend at the moment, but man,

After 25 years at National Public Radio, Senior Editor Uri Berliner resigned Wednesday following backlash from fellow journalists regarding comments he made about NPR's political agenda. Berliner published an essay in The Free Press earlier this month critiquing his former employer's liberal bias, which allegedly increased following the 2016 election. Before his departure, Berliner was suspended from NPR for failing to secure approval to speak with other news outlets. Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former member of the Board of Directors at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Howard Husock, joins the Rundown to share why people criticize NPR's public funding and why journalists should remain open-minded. A part of the immigration debate came to an end Wednesday after both articles of impeachment against U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas were voted unconstitutional in the Senate. Illegal migrant encounters reached record levels in 2023, and released migrants are scattered throughout the U.S., with many ending up in self-proclaimed “sanctuary cities.” Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has announced the city plans to spend $90 million to help migrants who come to his city for six months. Within days of the Mayor's announcement, two counties sued, challenging the state's sanctuary laws. Douglas County Commissioner George Teal joins the podcast to explain the lawsuit, how Denver has reached “a critical mass point” with their migrant population, and how the issue threatens to spillover and hurt surrounding communities and migrants alike.
