The Colorado State Shooting Association is taking on the state government in a lawsuit that could have far-reaching implications for gun owners and the Second Amendment. This episode, we're joined by Daniel Fenlason, director of operations for the association, as he explains the reasoning behind their challenge to House Bill 126. The bill in question, signed into law by Governor Polis, allows government agents to access purchase records from gun stores without a warrant or probable cause. This has raised serious concerns about the erosion of Fourth Amendment rights and the potential for abuse. Daniel and his team are confident that the law will be struck down, citing its clear violation of both the Second and Fourth Amendments. The association's lawsuit is not just about gun rights, but also about the principle of equal treatment under the law. As Daniel explains, law-abiding gun stores are being treated like second-class citizens, with their customers' private information being made available to the government without any oversight. This is a worrying trend that could have implications for all of us. To hear more about this important case and the potential consequences for gun owners in Colorado, tune in to this episode. Daniel shares his insights on the motivations behind the bill and the association's strategy for taking on the state government. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation and join the discussion on the intersection of gun rights and individual freedoms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this hard-hitting episode, Patrick Hogarty, filling in for Joe, pulls back the curtain on the single factor driving the collapse of American representation: a fundamentally broken election system. Starting with the staggering revelation that 420,987 ballot envelopes failed signature verification in the Georgia 2020 election, Patrick exposes how "selected" leaders have unleashed a systematic attack on the American way of life. From the rise of the local surveillance state to activist, leftist judges who let repeat offenders walk the streets, the cost of stolen elections is being paid by innocent citizens and law enforcement officers putting their lives on the line. Next, the show goes deep into the trenches of the battle for election integrity with expert guest Mark Cook of the Hand Count Road Show. Together, they dissect the breaking political corruption rocking Colorado, including a powerful statement from Tina Peters against the state Democrats' censorship of Governor Polis. They also pull receipts on the local political scene, exposing candidate Victor Marx for backing out of the highly anticipated Centennial Institute debate at Colorado Christian University—complete with the emails and demands for answers that the mainstream media refuses to cover. Finally, Patrick confronts the rapid "third-worldification" of American politics, where political violence and the normalization of assassination culture are actively cheered on by the left. From a Connecticut Democrat claiming the American flag is no longer "inclusive" to a Muslim Brotherhood leader in New Jersey boasting about dividing the MAGA movement to secure a victory for Islam in America, the long-game assault on our nation is reaching a boiling point. To wrap it all up, Patrick takes a look at what Colorado schools are prioritizing over actual education, highlighting an Arvada West High School presentation warning kids about "Red Pill Influencers"—and playfully calls them out for leaving him off the list. Don't miss this explosive episode; hit play to arm yourself with the truth the establishment wants hidden.

**This episode is a wild ride, folks!** In this episode, we're diving into some of the most pressing issues of our time, from the complexities of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision regarding transgender care at Children's Hospital Colorado to the latest developments in the world of politics. We're also talking about the importance of securing our firearms, the latest news from around the globe, and a fascinating conversation with Martin Faith, the owner of the Scottish Group of Companies, who shares his experience of winning the Small Business Person of the Year award from the federal government. The episode starts with a thought-provoking discussion about the concept of "bathroom sink water" and whether it's really that gross. But things quickly take a turn for the serious as we discuss the Colorado Supreme Court's decision, which has sparked a heated debate about the role of the federal government in protecting the rights of transgender individuals. We also hear from George Brauchler, the District Attorney of the 23rd Judicial District, about the commutation of Brandon Kreutzer's sentence and the implications of Governor Polis's decision. We're also joined by Henry Olsen, a renowned election analyst, who shares his insights on the latest developments in the world of politics, including the primaries in Kentucky and Georgia.

The ladies open with coffee splash photo challenge fails, including Jackie's noble attempt at a witch's cauldron and Ashe's lone half melted ice cube while Christy's iPhone 17 Pro Max once again outclasses everyone. They tease the Freedom 250 GART in Deadwood, complete with red, white, and blue welcome dinner plans and a renewed hope that Zach Payne and only Lance actually grow mullets. Christy takes the professor's chair for the idiom hands down, which turns out to come from horse racing and not, sadly, a dramatic courtroom gesture, just in time for Napoleon Solo to win the Preakness in a suspicious bit of comms. Ashe walks through her in person visit with Tina Peters two days after Governor Polis granted clemency, unpacking what is actually going on with the weaponization of government, why this case was never about elections despite the headlines, what Tina actually misses (her 97 year old mother, a real steak, a salad with actual tomatoes), why she will not see her dog Minka until she is certain she is not leaving her again, and why people who say she did nothing wrong are missing the same point as people who call her a threat to democracy. Christy closes with how to swallow gel caps without choking and how to unlock a child safety cap forever.

In this episode, we also discuss the decline of teenage fun, the rise of online dating, and a bizarre story about two people arrested for trying to smuggle baby monkeys through an airport. We're joined by Michael Dougherty, the Boulder County DA and candidate for state Attorney General, to talk about Governor Polis's commutation of Tina Peters' sentence. Plus, we explore the world of Swatch watches and the latest news on the plane crash at the air show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Peter Boyles Show May 16, 2026 HOUR 2: State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer joins Peter Boyles for a wide-ranging and fiery conversation covering the Tina Peters controversy, Jared Polis, Phil Weiser, TABOR, crime, fentanyl laws, election integrity, and whether Republicans can actually win statewide again in Colorado. Kirkmeyer breaks with some in her own party by saying she does not believe Colorado’s election was stolen, while also criticizing the handling of Tina Peters’ sentencing and Governor Polis’ intervention. The discussion also dives into Democrat infighting, socialism accusations inside Colorado politics, public safety concerns, taxpayer frustrations, and the future of the GOP in a rapidly changing state. Peter Boyles presses hard on whether Colorado Republicans have lost touch with moderates — and whether candidates like Kirkmeyer can rebuild a winning coalition. --- The opinions expressed by the hosts and guests on this program are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Salem Media Group, its management, employees, affiliates, or advertisers.

Another No Kings protest is planned in Denver next week, and Colorado is grappling with President Trump's looming imperial tendencies – what happens if Governor Polis chooses not to grant Tina Peters clemency? What could the state lose in retaliation? In the second season of Master Plan: The Kingmakers, host David Sirota and his team at The Lever dig into a decades-long scheme to make the American presidency more like a monarchy. Sirota joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to explore the local connections to this presidential power grab.

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, we're ripping into the two-tiered justice system that crushes patriots while shielding the powerful. We open with throwback footage that still burns: the Oregon man jailed for collecting rainwater on his own property because “rules for thee, not for me” means the government can dictate every drop while elites live above the law. We tie it straight to the stark contrast in Colorado: Tina Peters still rotting in prison 505+ days for exposing election fraud, while former Democratic Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis, convicted of felony forgery and trying to influence an ethics probe with fake letters, walks free on probation and a slap-on-the-wrist fine. Governor Polis even celebrated her light sentence yet Tina endures solitary, assaults, and medical neglect. This isn't justice, it's a deliberate machine that punishes truth-tellers and protects insiders.We're also joined by investigative journalist John Leake, author of Entering Hades and co-author of The Courage to Face COVID-19, who brings his razor-sharp lens to the “rules for thee, not for me” playbook. From elite Epstein cover-ups buried under foreign wars to the way power protects itself while ordinary Americans bear the cost, John connects the dots on distraction, corruption, and the slow erosion of accountability. His insights cut deep into how the same networks that shield insiders push division, foreign entanglements, and domestic betrayal, leaving patriots like Tina to pay the price.We wrap this episode by bringing in David Clements, whose latest work on “The Singularity and the Ancient Reset” ties everything together with chilling precision. David argues we're not just facing a modern AI takeover, we're reliving ancient cycles where humanity reaches god-like hubris through forbidden knowledge and technology, only to be reset by divine judgment. Tune in for the unfiltered truth, no apologies, and the fire to demand better—because if we don't fight this now, the republic we love will be gone for good. You won't walk away the same.

In today's explosive episode, we dive headfirst into the battle for America's election integrity, starting with President Trump's fiery stop in Michigan where he calls out the absurdity of no voter ID laws in blue states. Trump warns that our entire system has been hijacked by those who encourage voting without verification, teasing a wave of election fraud revelations through his recent videos. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Join us as we uncover the deep-rooted schemes threatening our republic and what must be done to reclaim it before the midterms.Shifting to the heartland, we discuss the massive fraud uncovered in Minnesota, directly linked to ramped-up ICE enforcement and escalating confrontations with agitators. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent drops a bombshell that tapes allegedly showing MN AG Ellison taking money to halt investigations into Somali communities. Hear from Tom Homan on why blue cities and states are blocking ICE from jails, forcing agents into perilous street operations designed to vilify them and distract from immigrant fraud rings. Stephen Miller delivers a powerful message to embattled ICE agents, while Ilhan Omar brazenly vows Democrats will block all ICE funding. These aren't isolated incidents, they're a coordinated assault fueled by radical left rhetoric, and we've got the cuts to prove it.But the deception doesn't stop there: protests erupting across the nation, from Minneapolis ICE clashes to New York rallies over Maduro's extraction, are far from organic. An agitator openly admits to Laura Ingraham they're being paid, and investigative reporters reveal pre-printed signs that scream astroturf operation. In Colorado, Secretary of State Jena Griswold urges Governor Polis not to release Tina Peters amid her high-stakes appeal hearing. We'll have her hearing streaming live for Joe to provide his thoughts. This is the radical left's playbook of useful idiots and funded chaos, and today, we expose the complete op we're living in. Tune in for the truth that could change everything.

George Brauchler, 23rd district attorney finally gets his phone to work and checks in on the Tina Peters case with strong hints from Governor Polis that he will be granting her and other elderly incarcerated persons clemency in the coming days or weeks.Also, George and Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly have filed a lawsuit against Governor Polis challenging the constitutionality of a Colorado statute governing the certification of federally issued U-Visas.  At issue is a state law addressing U-Visas, a tool for local law enforcement officers and prosecutors to seek temporary legal status from federal immigration officials for non-citizen crime victims and witnesses who are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of those crimes.

Dive into the fire on this explosive episode of "Joe Oltmann Untamed," where we expose the rotting core of American justice and political hypocrisy. Joe rips into the FBI as a complete joke while shining a relentless spotlight on the heartbreaking persecution of Tina Peters—a 70-year-old Gold Star Mom and first-time non-violent offender locked in a harsh Level 3 Colorado prison for daring to defend election integrity. With the DOJ offering to transfer her to a low-security federal Level 1 facility only for Colorado to cruelly refuse, we ask: is this deliberate cruel and unusual punishment? Powerful clips from Rocky Mountain Voice and Kyle Clark lay bare the injustice, while Governor Polis gets called out for his role in this outrage. This isn't just Tina's fight—it's a gut-wrenching warning of what happens when whistleblowers are silenced.Shifting to hope and defiance, automotive genius and truth-teller Casey Putsch joins Joe live after announcing his bold run for Ohio Governor. From turbine Batmobiles to mentoring the next generation through Genius Garage, Casey brings his unfiltered “Casey the Car Guy” fury to politics—ready to take on Vivek Ramaswamy, restore manufacturing, end indoctrination in schools, and smash the corrupt establishment. This is the outsider Ohio needs: a wrench-wielding warrior who won't sell out. Joe delivers raw truth, righteous anger, and real solutions—tune in and join the fight before it's too late!The message rings louder than ever: America is at a crossroads where patriots like Tina Peters pay with their freedom for exposing corruption, while hypocrites like Michael Bennet lecture us on an economy their own party wrecked. But hope roars in from Ohio with Casey Putsch—a real builder, mentor, and fighter stepping up to reclaim his state from the elites. This isn't just another show; it's a battle cry. The injustice against Tina is our injustice, the fight for honest elections is our fight, and leaders like Casey prove we still have warriors ready to take the wheel. Tune in, wake up, share the truth, and refuse to stay silent—because if we don't stand now, the America we love will be gone forever. Stay Untamed!

Dive into a reality check on "Joe Oltmann Untamed," where host Joe Oltmann pulls no punches in exposing the deep state's games and the heroes fighting back. In this explosive episode, Joe calls out Kash Patel as a total disappointment—jet-setting for fluff interviews with his girlfriend on the Katie Miller Show while critical issues like the Butler shooting, Charlie Kirk's incident, and the Epstein list fizzle into nothing burgers. But all hope isn't lost: Tulsi Gabbard emerges as a wrecking ball, a former Democrat turned truth-seeker who's outpacing the entire cabinet in her relentless pursuit of accountability. And fresh from Rasmussen Reports, we dissect why Gabbard's bombshell report on election machines is being stonewalled until January— is it a political ploy, or a setup for military intervention to expose the interference?Shifting gears to the frontlines of freedom, Joe welcomes powerhouse guest Juan O'Savin, the unyielding freedom fighter, for a no-holds-barred update on Tina Peters' harrowing saga. As a 70-year-old Gold Star Mom and first-time non-violent offender, Tina's locked away in Colorado's Level 3 La Vista Correctional Facility—far harsher than her "crimes" warrant—enduring cruel and unusual punishment that screams injustice. We'll break down the shocking conditions, from dilapidated HVAC units breeding mold and poor air quality (backed by Grok's eye-opening analysis) to the DOJ's fresh investigation into Colorado's prisons, including a scathing letter to Governor Polis highlighting abuses at facilities like San Carlos and Trinidad.The fight for truth, accountability, and justice is far from over. From the stonewalling of Tulsi Gabbard's explosive election machine report to the heartbreaking injustice facing Tina Peters—a courageous whistleblower rotting in a harsh Level 3 facility amid deplorable conditions and a DOJ probe into Colorado's broken prison system—the battles we're exposing today are the ones that will define tomorrow's freedom. Joe Oltmann and Juan O'Savin leave no stone unturned, shining a fierce light on the disappointments, the heroes, and the systemic corruption that too many want buried.

President Trump takes a portion of a national press conference to address the Tina Peters situation, and call out Governor Jared Polis for his complete mishandling of her case and Colorado on the whole.

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race. With more than 20 Republican candidates scrambling for attention, he asks the unavoidable question: Is the party sabotaging itself before the race even begins? John warns that infighting, ego-driven campaigns, and even suspected political “plants” could doom conservatives in 2026 unless unity happens early—something he doubts will occur. He then dives into Colorado's cooling economy, exposing the impact of skyrocketing regulations, natural-gas restrictions, and costly mandates that he says the media refuses to acknowledge. Why does Governor Polis blame tariffs and interest rates instead of his own policies? And what hidden change nearly eliminated Denver's famous brown cloud? Hour 1 is part political thriller, part economic wake-up call—packed with provocative insights you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason revs up with special guest Ray Shefska, CEO of CarEdge (https://caredge.com), for a sharp, insider breakdown of one of the most significant shifts in the auto industry: the administration's newly relaxed CAFE standards. What will the loser fuel-efficiency rules mean for consumers, dealers, and the future of affordable cars? Ray reveals why the market has fewer budget-friendly vehicles than ever—and why envy, not necessity, is driving Americans into $55,000 cars with $750 monthly payments. John and Ray then expose how automakers fumbled the rollout of EVs, relying on government incentives instead of actually selling the features and benefits. Are manufacturers now scrambling to salvage billions in electric-vehicle investment? And will Toyota's hybrid-first strategy turn out to be the stroke of genius everyone else missed? The second half of the hour turns electric in a different way, as John battles misconceptions about EV road taxes and digs into a high-profile Highlands Ranch garage fire. Was it the EV, the charger, or something entirely unrelated? Listeners are left questioning how quickly we jump to conclusions—and how often we get the facts wrong. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason takes a surprising and thoughtful turn as Patrick Payton—former mayor of Midland, Texas, longtime pastor, leadership consultant, and presidential leadership scholar—joins John for a powerful conversation about division, persuasion, and the lost art of human respect. Why can rival football fans shake hands after a brutal game, yet families can't make it through Christmas dinner without political warfare? Patrick shares insights from his new book, The Middle: How the Quiet Majority Can Mend a Divided Nation, explaining how both extremes—left and right—use fear, manipulation, and “otherizing” to control people. He offers practical strategies for navigating tense family gatherings, redirecting conflict, and approaching political disagreements with humility, patience, and genuine curiosity. After Patrick signs off, John turns to a viral claim that Trump voters should be legally forced to wear MAGA hats—raising an uncomfortable question: Are modern activists resurrecting tactics that eerily echo history's darkest movements? The conversation closes with John exposing how Agenda 21–style policies and rising Marxist rhetoric are creeping into Colorado politics, leaving listeners to ask: Are we still protecting freedom, or silently giving it away?

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with John Rush challenging listeners to rethink what truly matters as Christmas approaches: Are we clinging to gifts no one remembers, or to experiences no one forgets? But the hour quickly shifts from holiday wisdom to political reality as John delivers a bold, unfiltered prediction about Colorado's GOP governor's race. With more than 20 Republican candidates scrambling for attention, he asks the unavoidable question: Is the party sabotaging itself before the race even begins? John warns that infighting, ego-driven campaigns, and even suspected political “plants” could doom conservatives in 2026 unless unity happens early—something he doubts will occur. He then dives into Colorado's cooling economy, exposing the impact of skyrocketing regulations, natural-gas restrictions, and costly mandates that he says the media refuses to acknowledge. Why does Governor Polis blame tariffs and interest rates instead of his own policies? And what hidden change nearly eliminated Denver's famous brown cloud? Hour 1 is part political thriller, part economic wake-up call—packed with provocative insights you won't hear anywhere else. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush To Reason revs up with special guest Ray Shefska, CEO of CarEdge (https://caredge.com), for a sharp, insider breakdown of one of the most significant shifts in the auto industry: the administration's newly relaxed CAFE standards. What will the loser fuel-efficiency rules mean for consumers, dealers, and the future of affordable cars?

In this explosive episode of Joe Oltmann Untamed, Patrick Byrnes drops intel so shocking it left General Michael Flynn visibly shaken—revealing spies, traitors, and the deep rot threatening America's future. Joe tears into Colorado's clown-show leadership, from Governor Polis to media lapdog Kyle Clark, exposing the treasonous betrayal of the people while taxpayer dollars vanish into open-border chaos and radical agendas. It's a no-holds-barred wake-up call on how American voices are being stolen at the ballot box and beyond.Then, meet the antidote: Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Monty Fritts—a Christian constitutional warrior running on Liberty & Less Government. From slashing the state's runaway 59% budget explosion and phasing out the grocery tax to ending funding for illegal aliens, killing geoengineering experiments, and demanding every state bureaucrat pass a Constitutional competency test, Monty lays out his bold plan to dismantle bureaucracy, defend the Second Amendment without apology, and return Tennessee to its God-given, America-First foundation. This is the kind of fearless leadership Polis and Walz will never have.The fight intensifies as Project Veritas exposes Ilhan Omar-linked ballot harvesting, Tim Walz whines about being called out, and viral clips show fed-up veterans and citizens pushing back against the invasion. Border Czar Tom Homan delivers the mic-drop line every patriot needs to hear. This is raw, unfiltered truth for a nation under siege—don't miss it.

How did we get here Colorado? A state steeped in ranching, hunting and Western culture is barely recognizable these days. It stems from the top, with Governor Polis trying like hell to push his husband's (yes you read that correctly) animal rights activism agenda through before he leaves office in 2026. Our old friend Dan [...]

CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest alarming developments in the Tina Peters case, beginning with news that she was placed in solitary confinement after filing a grievance, an action described by inmates as blatant retaliation. They walk through Tina's firsthand account of being strip-searched, mentally evaluated, and isolated for a 17-day “investigation,” then expose a series of letters sent to Governor Polis from AG Phil Weiser, DA Dan Rubenstein, and the Colorado County Clerks Association, all pressuring the state to stop her transfer to federal custody. CannCon and Ashe highlight how these officials openly admit their fear of Tina's speech, not her alleged crimes, and connect the situation to Colorado's wider political machinery, from Griswold and Crane to thousands of new campaign-finance violations and fresh filings in the Arizona elector case.

What if the most important legacy you leave behind isn't money—but wisdom? Hour 1 opens with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial (https://goldeneaglefinancialltd.com), who joins John Rush to challenge listeners with a powerful question: Are you truly prepared for the future? This hour, with its urgent focus on generational wealth and financial planning, forces you to rethink retirement, self-sufficiency, and the responsibility we owe the next generation. But the conversation doesn't stay calm for long. As Colorado's roads crumble and the state faces a billion-dollar budget shortfall, John exposes a fiery online clash between Governor Polis and Governor Ron DeSantis. Did Colorado really collect billions in marijuana tax revenue for schools and roads—or is that claim collapsing under scrutiny? And why are residents suddenly reporting ICE sightings while extremist rhetoric spikes across social media? Just when the hour can't get any hotter, John tackles a new political battle: the future of SNAP benefits. With millions at risk of losing food assistance, is America facing a safety-net crisis… or finally confronting system abuse? Packed with financial insights, political fireworks, and complex questions, Hour 1 dares you to engage in a thought-provoking journey, rethinking what you believe—and why. HOUR 2 What happens when the American dream collides with a 50-year mortgage? Hour 2 launches with Eric Weir (https://erikweir.com), author of Who's Eating Your Pie? as he and John Rush pull back the curtain on the newest—and most controversial—tool in housing finance. Could a half-century mortgage help first-time buyers escape rising rents, or is it a financial trap doubling your lifetime interest? And is this just math… or a political maneuver aimed at the Federal Reserve? But the hour takes a sharp turn. As social media erupts with anti-Israel rhetoric and conspiracy-driven claims, John confronts the emotional chaos head-on. Why are so many Americans falling for manipulated narratives? And how is AI—now powerful enough to create chart-topping songs—reshaping what people believe? Just when the tension peaks, the conversation shifts again: back to financial stability with Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial, and then into the world of sports, where the Denver Broncos deliver a jaw-dropping win that has fans buzzing. Plus, hear what John and Richard have to say about the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser.   Packed with financial strategy, cultural firestorms, and unexpected victories, Hour 2 dares listeners to question everything—from mortgages to media to the world we think we understand. HOUR 3 What if the next global war isn't fought with missiles—but with algorithms? Hour 3 opens with AI and national-security expert Chris Hoar of SAT123 (https://sat123.com), who joins John Rush to break down America's silent, escalating technology battle with China. From rare earth control to stolen nuclear innovations, Chris reveals how Beijing's 2030 plan to dominate AI hardware and software is closer to reality than most Americans realize. Could the U.S. lose the digital high ground simply because we're looking the other way? But the conversation goes deeper. John exposes chilling new reports of Chinese hackers using AI for autonomous cyberattacks, raising the stakes on tariffs, national defense, and America's technological vulnerability. Then he pushes further: what happens when AI becomes so advanced that people can hold full conversations with systems that think—and manipulate—like humans? The hour closes with political fire. John tackles the Epstein document battle, accusations aimed at Donald Trump, and the internal meltdown inside the GOP, from Marjorie Taylor Greene to Colorado's own party infighting. Packed with espionage, ethics, and AI-driven danger, Hour 3 asks the ultimate question: Are we prepared for a world where technology, politics, and power collide?

Colorado has some of the highest car insurance rates in the country. Governor Polis has promised to address the issue by installing more cameras at intersections and increasing sobriety checkpoints — but the biggest contributing factor to high premiums? The weather. Then, the Colorado Business Committee For the Arts released a study exploring the economic impacts of the state's cultural sector. But what does a $3.1 billion dollar impact say about the state of Denver's working artists? Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love are joined by artist and educator R. Alan Brooks to dig into the high costs of car ownership, the economics of art, a potential win for Lauren Boebert, DougCo's last attempt at a trans student athlete ban, and more wins and fails of the week.  There are still a few seats left to catch R. Alan Brooks' film premiere, “Always, Most of the Time,” at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop tonight!  Bree talked about her Uncle Ed's art show tonight at CORE Art Space and Re:Vision firing unionized promotoras. Olivia mentioned the Douglas County School Board's final attempts at banning trans student athletes and Representative Lauren Boebert's demands to release the Epstein files. Alan discussed the ongoing Colfax BRT road construction woes.  What do you think?

Logan is back from his classes and is now freshly licensed class-A CDL driver! But that means the guys are back to business as usual and talking about the state of disarray the Colorado justice system is in. Governor Polis has instituted a slew of garbage policies that  call for the release of extremely dangerous and unhinged criminals back into society. The worst part is, there's nothing our local government agencies can do about it. #wheresthejustice #nojustice #nopeace #protectandserve Looking to sponsor or grab ad space?

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.

An estimated 100,000 Coloradans stand to lose health coverage next year amid a 28 percent hike in premiums; Governor Polis holds Congress responsible. We ask about that along with wildfire resources, immigration, and the proposed bridge outside the State Capitol. Then, for Marcus Weaver, surviving the mass shooting inside an Aurora movie theater 13 years ago, was life-changing in ways he never expected. Also, Indie 102.3 host and local music director Alisha Sweeney joins us to spotlight musicians on Colorado's indie scene ahead of the Underground Music Festival.

Governor Polis wants to built a big bridge downtown. Everyone is asking WHY?

911 Audio from the accident that killed John Elway's friend has been released. Ozzy Osbourne's concert raised more money than any charity concert ever before. Jamie misses the toilet she had in Lanai. One of Jamie's friend got a late night text from her ex husband's new fiancé. The fiancé sounds like she is insane. Governor Polis wants to built a big bridge downtown. Everyone is asking WHY? Miley Cyrus was on GMA talking about her voice and why she doesn't do big tours. The infamous Annabelle doll that the movie The Conjuring is based on has apparently killed one of its handlers. BJ has gotten paranoid that someone is going to confront him about how he handles shopping carts at grocery stores.

SENATOR BARB KIRKMEYER KNOWS COLORADO'S BUDGET AND MORE And she joins me today at 1pm for a chat about budget shortfalls and the very possible special session that Governor Polis is going to call soon. We'll get the details from the best person to give them, as she's been on the Appropriations and Joint Budget Committees in the last few years. This should be good.

It was in response to a prompt asking it to NOT be politically correct and the bot went all Heil Hitler and people freaked out. But it's a good lesson about what AI currently is, and that is a mirror.

Governor Polis wants to build a bridge — a long winding walkway that will stretch from the steps of the State Capitol, over four lanes of traffic on Lincoln Street, and all the way to Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park. And he wants it built before Colorado's 150th birthday next summer. But how much will it cost? Who will pay for it? Will it match the classic architecture and City Beautiful Movement-era park design? And does anyone else besides the governor want this walkway in the first place? 9News' Kyle Clark tried to answer these questions and he joins host Bree Davies to share what he found — and how he feels about the governor's plans for a legacy project.For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.Follow us on Instagram: @citycastdenverChat with other listeners on reddit: r/CityCastDenverSupport City Cast Denver by becoming a member: membership.citycast.fmWhat do you think?

I AGREE WITH KYLE CLARK And I think this is like three times this year alone so maybe I need to get checked out. JK, he's just been right three times this year, that's all. This time he's right about the dumb pedestrian bridge over Lincoln that Governor Polis has decided he must have. Watch Kyle take it apart here.DICK MONFORT PUTS HIS KID IN CHARGE Of the Rockies.

The Federal Theatre joins Denver's list of vintage movie palaces turned music venue after the folks behind The Oriental Theater recently announced they were taking over the space. Could this be a new catalyst for more business along this Northside strip? Then, after President Trump complained that his portrait at the state capitol was “truly the worst”, it was removed — but legislators and History Colorado are trying to decide if the paintings should be replaced by something different altogether. Host Bree Davies is joined by Westword editor in chief Patty Calhoun to dig into these stories, plus producer Olivia Jewell Love pops by to share listener comments on everything from flock cameras to witchcraft. Bree talked about the Federal Theatre's fundraiser to get the old venue running again and our episode with conservative talk radio host Jeff Hunt. After our show with Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas, listener Fiona had questions about other police departments having access to Denver's flock camera data. Patty mentioned Governor Polis' “Colorado 150 Bridge”.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

A senior state employee filed a lawsuit last week alleging that Governor Jared Polis has violated state law by cooperating with a subpoena for information from ICE. Anti-ICE protesters have been marching in Denver's streets all week and Polis was already in hot water with Democrats after he set his personal record for vetoing bills, so why would he do this now? David Seligman is a candidate for state attorney general and the executive director of Towards Justice, a non-profit law firm that just joined the lawsuit against Polis, and he's on with host Bree Davies to break down the case and try to imagine what the governor is thinking. After we recorded this conversation, we heard back from Governor Polis's spokesperson. She send us the following statement:  “The Governor is committed to preventing the illegal exploitation and trafficking of children. This lawsuit is unfortunately delaying an investigation focused on looking into child exploitation and trafficking. The decision to respond to this federal subpoena to support the investigation into crimes against vulnerable minors was carefully considered in accordance with Colorado law, which allows for sharing information to support timely criminal investigations. Keeping kids safe is a top priority, child exploitation is a deeply concerning issue, and has no place in our state. Complying with this federal subpoena meets the requirements laid out in state law and providing this information is in service of investigating and preventing  criminal activity, which Governor Polis is deeply committed to.”  What do you think about this lawsuit?

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, what do you call it when you throw a press conference, get boo'd by the crowd so loud you can't hear the questions from the press to try and sell a very unpopular bill outside your district? We ask our 7th favorite member of congress from Colorado. Then, our favorite Congressional Bread sandwich surrenders to President Trump and speaker Mike Johnson and sets up every rural hospital in his district for disaster for really no reason at all! Then, in a new segment, Governor Polis vetoes more bills -- we talk about all the bills Governor Polis is vetoing, and some of them may surprise you. And finally we take a peek at the 2026 candidate roster to see how primary elections that are now only a whole year away are shaping up. But first, he's the legendary liberal columnist for the Colorado Sun...Mike Littwin joins us to talk Trump, Colorado Media, the state of US Journalism, and what gives him hope.  

Some of the audio from the Hur investigation with Joe Biden is out and it is devastating, but the SAME day it was released Biden announced he has aggressive prostate cancer, Brian Blase talks about how states jack up Medicaid costs by padding the bills.  The cross burning case involving Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade is going to trial,  Governor Polis vetoes the horrible labor bill but signs a bill criminalizing speech, and Rep. Brandi Bradley joins to talk about what ended up in SB1213.

After five months of debate and debauchery, Colorado's state lawmakers wrapped up the 2025 legislative session in Denver on Wednesday. So what passed? What failed? And what is Governor Polis going to veto next? Our capitol insider Deep Singh Badhesha was there for all the madness, and he's on today's Friday news roundup with host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to give us the scoop. Then, the advocacy group YIMBY Denver has a new survey out showing broad support for more housing, but the numbers show a more complicated picture. And of course, our wins and fails of the week.  You can check out the cross-tabs for the YIMBY Denver survey for yourself. Bree mentioned FLOCK cameras, a DoorDasher in detention, and the immigration support group Casa de Paz. Paul talked about Clever Girl at Zeppelin Station and a prized green chile recipe. Deep discussed the Nuggets big loss against Oklahoma and the judge who extended a restraining order against the Trump administration in a local immigration case.  Paul also talked about Hold On to Your Butts, his new Jurassic Park rewatch podcast with friend of the show JD Lopez, which you can subscribe to on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts.  What do you think about Denver's push for housing density?

Monday was Trans Day of Visibility and Senate Democrats introduced two new bills that would expand protections for trans Coloradans — and in particular, trans kids — and no GOP Senators supported the legislation. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love are joined by KUNC government and politics reporter Lucas Brady Woods to dig into how these bills could impact everything from school dress codes to gender-affirming care. Then, Olivia brings a list of the best and worst April Fools' Day pranks from politicians across the state — including Governor Polis' South Park statehouse portrait. Plus, police on ponies, dogs in the Capitol, and more wins and fails of the week! Bree mentioned the KUNC podcast The Colorado Dream and its season called “The Hate State.” She also talked about Brittany Petterson's baby in DC (again), the study of the impacts of the fentanyl criminalization bill and the fundraiser for Rainbow Dome. Olivia talked about the police horse force downtown and the Onyx, Denver's brand new women's rugby team. Lucas talked about frustrations with the vacancy process, the semi-positive ending for state budget cuts and Rep. Karen McCormick's Golden Retriever, Pippin, and other dogs of the Capitol.  What do you think?
