Podcasts about freedom index

The GOP HQ fire bomb suspect appears to have been captured. He looks JUST as you'd expect.  MLG vetoed two bills in the waning hours of her signing period (we agree with her on both). MLG also ripped Democrat leadership in the Legislature saying of the tax bill  “Even more troubling is the fact that what ultimately emerged lack both strategic coherence and fiscal responsibility,” the governor added. “There was no plan and no preparation for how to pay for the tax relief in this bill. She also vetoed a lowrider license plate bill and tortilla as the state's official bread. MLG argued that these bills represent a "misuse of time and priorities"  Paul and Wally discuss the latest political news in Albuquerque's Mayoral race and race for Governor. Specifically Paul and Wally discuss the possible impact of one of the bills the Gov. signed sets up "semi-open primaries" and how it COULD open new strategic voting opportunities.  Freedom Index results are now finalized. How did your legislators do? Also, RGF recently tabulated how the average stacks up relative to other sessions. The Maxeon deal has been changed (downsized) dramatically, yet the Economic Development Department website still touts the original deal. Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin recently launched Katy Perry and others to space for 11 minutes. Is Bezos taking Virgin Galactic's market?  MLG sends the National Guard to Albuquerque, but to what end?

The grades are in!! Paul Gessing stops by to discuss his Freedom Index scores for the recent 60-Day Session. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With less than a week left in the session, Paul and Wally discuss the latest from Santa Fe. Specifically, Paul and Wally discuss SB 176 and the fact that reforms like it to address NM's medical malpractice laws have been slowed thanks to the trial attorneys.  In a huge win for businesses and taxpayers paid leave died over the weekend. HB 14, a mediocre bill goes bad. What's the latest on the Freedom Index? A new report by Rio Grande Foundation and the Fraser Institute finds that New Mexico is the only state in the nation to have seen a decline in economic freedom since 1981. Paul and Wally go into detail on NM's lack of economic freedom.

On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the latest on the newly renamed paid leave bill and other issues in the Legislature.  How are things looking in terms of the Freedom Index? Paul recently wrote a blog post that was picked up by the Santa Fe New Mexican that the process in Santa Fe stinks. MLG plans a special session to deal with Trump cuts, but Medicaid is in dire need of reform. What does it all mean?: Paul will be discussing tax reform at an event this weekend w/ AFP. If you have a chance to come out on Saturday Paul will talk state taxes and there will be a separate presentation on the Trump tax cuts. 

On this week's interview Paul talks to Andrew Handel of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) about the new 2025 Education Freedom Index which he authored and his organization published. New Mexico ranked a poor 44th in the latest version of this index.

In an insightful interview, Neil Emerick from the Free Market Foundation discusses South Africa's rise in the Freedom Index, moving from 85th to 81st place. He emphasizes the importance of economic freedom for growth and quality of life, comparing South Africa's ranking with its BRICS counterparts. Emerick also addresses the complexities of international trade, climate change, and the challenges Africa faces in achieving economic development amid global pressures.

In this episode of the BizNews Briefing host Alec Hogg has three live studio guests - and a host of inserts from other knowledgeable observers.

On this week's interview Paul sits down with Rep. John Block. Block has been a consistent voice for conservative principles in the Legislature since he took office in 2023. He also manages the Pinon Post, a political news site dealing with New Mexico politics. Block wound up coming in 2nd overall in the Foundation's Freedom Index this year. We discuss what happened and didn't happen in the 2024 session and how New Mexicans can work together to improve their state with the entire Legislature up for election later this year. 

Paul and Wally both attended the Seinfeld show. They have numerous thoughts: 1) The City did a poor job with logistics.  2) The media didn't condemn the protests for simply targeting a Jewish comedian (same with Meow Wolf): 3) While Paul and Wally believe that protestors have the right to share their beliefs, they should be doing so with their elected officials. Freedom Index votes are finalized for the 2024 New Mexico legislative session.  As Paul noted in a recent blog post moderate Democrats came to the rescue of sanity in the 2024 session. Just in time for the election President Biden appears to be backing away from his EV overreach. MLG shows no signs of backing off. Meanwhile the ABQ Journal finally covered the adoption of costly new mandates requiring EV chargers.  The State is giving a cannabis business funds through the State's LEDA corporate welfare program.  Yesterday was President's Day. Here's our take on some of the best and worst.   

Recapping some of the big issues/votes of the session: Paid Leave (SB 3) narrowly fails on House Floor after having gone through the Senate. The final tax bill has some small income tax rate reductions but doesn't do much: https://errorsofenchantment.com/taxes-and-spending-in-the-2024-session/ Worse, there are capital gains and corporate income tax hikes in the bill.  There WAS an interesting vote in the House that would have used the surplus effectively for economic growth but it failed: https://errorsofenchantment.com/attempt-to-return-more-of-surplus-to-new-mexicans-fails-on-party-line-vote/ There was an interesting vote in the Senate as well on simply indexing the tax to inflation: https://errorsofenchantment.com/nm-senators-go-on-the-record-on-indexing-social-security-tax-to-inflation/ Thankfully none of the alcohol taxes passed.  The Budget DOES include a prohibition on MLG's attempt to force districts to have 5 day school weeks, but she could line item veto that.  Clean Fuel Standard DID pass (unfortunately) with the NM Environment Department advertising: https://errorsofenchantment.com/nm-environment-department-advertises-in-support-of-legislation-currently-before-legislature/ Folks can find out how their legislators voted on the issues using our Freedom Index: https://riograndefoundation.org/freedom-index/#/ Paul and his daughter had a chance to meet Riley Gaines at the Legislature. 

This week, host Tanishka Sodhi is joined by Newslaundry's Sumedha Mittal and Mid-Day's Neerja Deodhar.Neerja reported on India's slipping rank in the Academic Freedom Index, placing it behind Sri Lanka and Pakistan. She says this is a result of the growing “culture of surveillance” on professors and faculty members which affects campus integrity.Sumedha reported on how prisoners jailed under the Public Safety Act in J&K are granted bail, but aren't released since authorities want “clearance letters” that take time.

* Guest: Lowell Nelson - CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org * Congress Asleep as Biden Makes War on Yemen - Ron Paul. * Two weeks ago, Biden started a new US war on the tiny country of Yemen. US warships and fighter jets launched more than a hundred missiles at the country in a massive escalation that the Administration bizarrely claimed would “de-escalate” tensions in the Red Sea. "Taking the US to war without a Congressional declaration of war is a grave crime against the Constitution. Not only did Biden show no interest in coming to Congress for a war declaration, he didn't even ask for authorization. * Ron Paul: "The Framers of the Constitution gave war-making power to Congress because they understood that leaving such power in the hands of one person was a recipe for disaster. The role of the president is to make the case for a war declaration. Congress deliberates and either authorizes or refuses the proposed action." * Please sign up to help bring our troops home - DefendTheGuard.us * DeSantis Drops Out of 2024 Race, Endorses Trump - TheEpochTimes.com * Highland City Council to Allow Alcohol Sales studies show how the rate of violent crime is higher in areas of a community where alcohol is sold. One person described how busy the police are at night conveying (intoxicated or confrontational or violent) people to the county jail. * The New American Freedom Index, which scores how each member of Congress voted on ten key issues in the past three months - The freedom index is issued (updated) four times a year - TheNewAmerican.com The average score for the House and Senate is 33% and 34%, respectively. In this index, there are 20 representatives and 3 senators who scored 100% on the index. And that is an improvement over previous years. * If you are not reading the Freedom Index each quarter, please begin to do so. The more you know about the voting record of your members of Congress, the more likely they are to vote with the Constitution. * The 20 representatives who scored 100% on the Freedom Index: Crane and Biggs from Arizona; Gaetz, Luna, Steube, and Donalds from Florida; Greene of Georgia; Fulcher of Idaho; Massie of Kentucky; Rosendale of Montana; Bishop of North Carolina; Brecheen of Oklahoma; Perry of Pennsylvania; Burchett and Ogles of Tennessee; Roy and Cloud of Texas; Good and Cline of Virginia; Tiffany of Wisconsin. * The 3 senators who scored 100% on the Freedom Index [I bet you can guess two of them with your eyes closed]: Braun of Indiana; Paul of Kentucky; and Lee of Utah.

It's Thursday, June 15th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark European Christian faces prison for embracing heterosexuality Last Friday, a Christian went on trial in the Mediterranean island country of Malta.  Matthew Grech faces fines and prison time under charges of discussing and advertising “conversion practices.” Back in 2022, he had simply spoken to a media outlet about his conversion to Christianity and leaving a homosexual lifestyle. Malta became the first country in Europe to criminalize so-called “conversion therapy” in 2016. Ahead of the trial, Grech said, “My Christian journey of transformation, from being a practicing homosexual interested in the occult . . .  to becoming a committed Evangelical Christian, is one that should be told without fear of being criminalized.” Paul wrote in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Contracting European economies The Eurozone is a currency union of 20 member states of the European Union. Based on the latest data from the European Union's statistical agency, there has been a slide into recession during the first quarter of this year. The 20-nation bloc has experienced a decline in its Gross Domestic Product for two consecutive quarters now. Ireland led the first quarter drop in GDP. Other contracting economies included the Netherlands, Malta, Germany, and Greece.  Economists expect further economic decline in the Eurozone over the rest of the year. Alabama, Texas, Indiana, & Mississippi friendliest to religious liberty The Napa Legal Institute released its first annual “Faith and Freedom Index” yesterday. The report ranks U.S. states based on their friendliness to religious freedom and regulatory freedom for nonprofits. Overall, Alabama, Texas, Indiana, and Mississippi scored the highest while Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin scored the lowest. Mary Margaret Beecher, Executive Director of Napa Legal, said, “Faith-based nonprofits face threats to their religious freedom and the often-crushing weight of regulatory burdens. If we value faith-based organizations . . . our state laws should encourage, not hinder, these organizations.” JPMorgan Chase punished for enabling Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking JPMorgan Chase agreed to a $290 million settlement on Monday with victims of Jeffrey Epstein.  The lawsuit accuses the banking giant of knowingly facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking operations through financial means for decades. Last month, Deutsch Bank agreed to a $75 million settlement in a similar case. Catholic health network performed transgender surgeries & abortions A new report from the Lepanto Institute exposes the largest Catholic healthcare network in the U.S. for performing so-called sex-change surgeries.  The report accuses facilities with CommonSpirit Health of performing transgender-related services, abortions, and sterilizations.  The Lepanto Institute stated, “Given everything contained in this report, it is clear that CommonSpirit Health is NOT a Catholic institution and must be immediately stripped of its Catholic identity.” Disturbing church attendance trends post-COVID Dr. George Barna released another report on Tuesday about the reshaping of Christian beliefs and behaviors since the COVID-19 pandemic.  The study noted three trends. First, the proportion of U.S. adults who attend church services weekly is 33% this year, down from 39% at the start of the pandemic. Plus, the proportion of Americans who attend church infrequently or never attend, jumped from 41% to 56% since the pandemic.  Second, Christian affiliation in the U.S. is now 68%, down from 72% in 2020. Both Protestants and Catholics experienced declines in affiliation. Among Protestants, mainline denominations saw the largest increases in affiliation since the pandemic.  And third, the incidence of adults possessing a Biblical worldview declined over the course of the pandemic from 6% to 4%. Biblical worldview incidence among evangelicals decreased from 21% to 14%; among mainline denominations it decreased from 8% to 6%. It held at 1% among Catholics.  Christian jockey thanks Jesus Christ, credits horse, for Belmont win And finally, the thoroughbred colt Arcangelo won the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. The victory makes Jena Antonucci the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race. Her victory comes on the 50th anniversary of the historic Belmont win by racehorse Secretariat, owned by Penny Chenery. Jockey Javier Castellano guided Arcangelo through the one-and-a-half-mile race in just over two minutes and 29 seconds. Castellano already won this year's Kentucky Derby, riding another racehorse named Mage. The jockey credited the amazing horse in Saturday's race, but first he gave thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for giving him the opportunity to win. CASTELLANO: “First of all, I always say, thank the Lord Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to win a second Triple Crown, the third Triple Crown this year, second Triple Crown for myself.  I give all the credit to the horse.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, June 15th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

On this week's conversation Paul talks with the top performing legislator in the Foundation's Freedom Index John Block. Rep. Block is a freshman lawmaker out of Alamogordo and has been active in politics for several years. We discuss his conservative track record and how he approached the session among numerous other things. Check it out! 

Alamogordo's own Rep. John Block took home the top prize in our Freedom Index this year. Paul and Wally discuss some of the other results and trends. Paul and Wally also discuss the departure of David Abbey from the LFC and the hole that he leaves.  According to a new Wallethub report New Mexico taxpayers get a terrible return on investment.  Yes, the Biden Administration really was trying to ban gas stoves. Sen. Martin Heinrich claims to oppose "dark money," but he is also a leading supporter of the "dark money" group "Rewiring America."   A hidden video captures school board trainer Andrew Sanchez pushing against "parental rights" and instead arguing that "parental rights end when you decide to send your kid to public school."  Paul and Wally have talked about this anti-donation clause issue. Now, it is clear that the turf was ONLY to be used by the Gladiators football team. The indoor soccer team playing in the same arena is NOT allowed to use the turf.

On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the 2023 session and its conclusion. Most notably, they address the massive tax "omnibus" package that wound up passing. It did not include needed reforms, but there were numerous components to the bill.  They also consider the situation with regard to medical providers. Previously it had appeared that no action would be taken on medical malpractice, but that changed quickly in the final days of the session.   Finally, Wally and Paul offer a broader perspective on the session. With "progressives" firmly in control, did they have an organizing principle or a strategy? How about the minority Republicans? How should they message what happened and didn't happen?    The Freedom Index scores are almost finalized. You can find them here.

The House-passed tax bill is MUCH better. It is a complicated piece of legislation and it remains a missed opportunity. That said it will probably be amended in the Senate and possibly by MLG. A paid leave proposal (SB 11) was discussed in Santa Fe on Friday, the bill has now failed in a welcome bit of news for New Mexico businesses and many workers.  The New Mexico's Legislature doesn't seem to be inclined to address the doctor shortage. What's the latest on the plastic bag ban? Will it pass?  The City of Albuquerque's inspector general says the City recently violated the anti-donation clause.  The Freedom Index scores continue to pile up. 

The Legislature failed to enact needed GRT reforms and instead has plenty of tax hikes. A piece in the ABQ Journal on Friday telegraphed where things were heading. Not only will doctors be among those paying higher taxes, another attempt to reform NM's medical malpractice law failed. MLG will end the COVID health emergency at the end of March. As of March 11 we will have been in an emergency for 3 years.  A new study finds gas stoves are safe, but the Consumer Product Safety Administration has announced they plan to study the issue. A chart in motion highlights the growth of government in New Mexico and other states since 1962. Since 2020 (the last year of the chart) New Mexico government has grown even faster.  The votes are really piling up at our Freedom Index with more to come. 

The Human Freedom Index presents the state of human freedom around the world based on a broad measure that covers personal , civil and economic freedom. The United States ranks 23 out of 165 nations included in the index. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/james-herlihy/message

Several members of the Lujan Grisham Administration have departed recently in the midst of the legislative session. Paul and Wally discuss some of the more notable departurers.   RGF recently released a study about the medical provider shortage.  Last week was School Choice week. Bills have been introduced on both the Democrat and Republican sides of the aisle to create choice. These bills will be heard in the Senate Education Committee on Wednesday, February 1.  Despite a massive surplus some powerful Democrats are pushing to raise taxes. One bill, HB 119 would add a 6.5% and 6.9% top rate on top of the 5.9% rate and the 6.5% rate would kick in at $200,000 annual income for married couples. Under Bill Richardson NM's top income tax rate was dropped to 4.9%. Some bills reining in the Gov.'s emergency powers have passed out of their first committees and are on their way to House Judiciary Committee.  The Foundation's Freedom Index bill tracking site is a tool people can use to find out how the bills they support/oppose are faring and how their legislators are voting on them.    A new Wallethub report says New Mexico has one of the smallest wealth gaps by race/ethnicity. This undermines a lot of left-wing talking points, but notably New Mexico is poor AND even the wealthiest in New Mexico don't register relative to other states.

RGF/Paul's case against the City of Albuquerque for its "donation" to Planned Parenthood has officially been filed. Also, RGF successfully appealed its free speech case at the United States District Court. A few notable bills coming up in Committee for which RGF will deliver testimony.   08:30AM NM HB96 Combined Cycle Natural Gas As Renewable 01:30PM NM HB25 Minimum Wage Increase & Indexing Also, the Democrats added $2 million to the must-pass “feed bill” which funds the session. The money will pay for a study of “professionalized” legislature, but this kind of policymaking should be done in the traditional legislative process, not the feed bill.  Build Your Dreams 2.0: Albuquerque experiences another EV fail as legislation is being introduced to mandate 75% of the State's fleet is electric. RGF examines the reality of NM's medical provider shortage in a new report that is part 1 of a 2 part series.  Meanwhile, the amount of money being requested in the latest budget for Medicaid is a positively mind blowing: $10.5 billion. A portion of those dollars are being proposed to "backfill" for an expiring federal COVID program that expanded Medicaid for 100,000 people in New Mexico. Paul had an opinion piece in several New Mexico newspapers highlighting the costly failure of Medicaid expansion in New Mexico.  Finally, RGF's Freedom Index bill tracking system is up and running so you can track the best and worst bills (and votes) of 2023.
