Podcasts about MLG

On this week's interview Paul talks to Sarah Smith, an activist in Las Cruces, New Mexico, about some of the most important issues facing her area of the State. Sarah came to prominence during the COVID as a leading opponent of MLG's lockdowns. Sarah is involved with Coalition of Conservatives in Action (a Las Cruces grassroots group), New Mexico Freedoms Alliance (which operates statewide), and  the National Coalition for Health Integrity.  They discuss a recent referendum attempt that was denied by politicians in Las Cruces, plans afoot to ban natural gas in Las Cruces, and broader economic and political issues in the City.

A panel of trade judges just unanimously declared the majority of Trump's tariffs illegal. What does this mean? Another candidate has entered the race for Gov. What does it mean?  Treasurer of New Mexico's Democratic party abruptly resigns 5 weeks into the job. What's going on? The Food Stamp program (SNAP) is being trimmed in the BBB. New Mexico is the number one food stamp recipient state. MLG and other blue state governors respond to the end of California's EV mandates. Recent testimony highlights New Mexico's absurd federal dependency. Paul recently talked to KOAT TV about Albuquerque's shady public campaign financing system.

Paul recently talked to KOAT TV regarding Gov. MLG's contingency fund and questions about its use. Albuquerque City Council recently considered and rejected a gross receipts tax hike. Paul was in attendance. $3.3 million spent by city of ABQ to renovate apartment steps? As prices drop it is worth noting that NM oil production has been rising. Will that continue?  7 years in and we have ANOTHER judge-ordered remedial plan for New Mexico's education system.

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.

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?

MLG has until Friday to sign or veto bills that passed this session. She signed a few on Monday. Paul and Wally discuss some of the bills signed. Many of them were not relevant to RGF, but nonetheless will impact the State in important ways.  Then, Paul and Wally have a lengthy discussion of the most important economic issue facing our nation, the tariff situation. What does it mean, what are the goals, and how might it turn out in the end for New Mexico and the United States? Crude oil prices have dropped significantly for the first time in months.

Some Democrats now angry that their colleagues in the Round House did nothing for Juvenile Crime in New Mexico, as Sam Bregman and MLG speaking out against their party on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MLG called for a special session not long after the 60-day session closed. So, what, if anything, will be done about Juvenile justice in the State of New Mexico. Senator Crystal Brantley joins the Morning Show to give her thoughts on the juvenile system as well as SB-11.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's Tipping Point NM conversation Paul and Wally discuss three timely events: The end of the 2025 60-day legislative session; The Lobos success and subsequent defeat  The shooting in Las Cruces which (again) involved young people, even teenagers shooting and killing each other.  Much of this episode is dedicated to going through the bills that passed both houses this session. Unfortunately, they are almost universally bad although ONE good bill not only passed both houses, but almost overcame an MLG veto.  Finally, Paul had a chance to testify as an expert witness on Sen. Jay Block's "GATO" bill on rooting out wasteful government spending (SB 484).   You don't want to miss this detailed recap of some of the bills that will likely become new laws in New Mexico.  

Paul and Wally discuss the latest on HB 11, formerly known as Paid Family & Medical Leave. A bill to raise alcohol taxes died in committee (HB 417). Are alcohol taxes dead for the session? Speaking of which, the tax bill is/could be the biggest bill yet to drop this session. It could STILL include this and other tax policies and be rammed through by session end. Democrats in the House Energy Committee rejected another opportunity to reform EV rules by overturning MLG's mandate. Bipartisan support for a Medicaid Trust Fund? What does it mean?  Paul attempted to testify (virtually) against HB 6. Why and what happened?  Today is the 5th anniversary of MLG's first COVID public health emergency. Paul and Wally look at that legacy and the recent NM supreme court decision to ratify it and other emergencies like her anti-gun emergency.  Paul will be in Alamogordo on the day of March 26 and we have an exciting event on New Mexico's medical shortage that evening in ABQ as well: Darren White is the latest addition to the Albuquerque Mayoral race. Can anyone knock off Tim Keller?   

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. 

MLG signs public safety bills passed by the roundhouse, but do they go far enough to protect New Mexicans plus Trump throws Zelensky out of the Oval Office on News Radio KKOB See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul and Wally share the latest from the Roundhouse. Paid Family Leave is revised and heading for the House floor. HB 417 a revised alcohol tax of 6% has passed through the House Tax Committee on partisan lines.  Free speech is under attack in Santa Fe: https://errorsofenchantment.com/new-mexico-s-b-85-a-legally-dubious-speech-chilling-proposal/ In a bit of good news SB 4 (net zero) was tabled in the Senate Finance Committee.  RGF's president had an article in National Review about the disaster that would be Deb Haaland as Gov. of New Mexico. Former Las Cruces Mayor may run for Gov. He says he's "do things 90% differently than MLG." Will changes to New Mexico voting law impact this race? Paul and Wally discuss.  Despite numerous dire challenges facing New Mexico the Legislature has no solutions besides shoveling money into various "permanent funds." New Mexico now has $61 billion under SIC control. Another fabulous Trever cartoon highlights (just some) of the good bills that get no love from the hyper "progressives" in Santa Fe. Sadly, plenty of bad bills ARE moving quickly.

Former New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce and radio host Derek Underhill share perspectives with young New Mexicans Danielle Hernandez, & Denice Sanchez on the biggest local and national headlines every week!Discussed in this week's show: Things kick off by exposing the Democrats' sneaky push for open primaries. Steve warns it's a power grab that could let Democrats hijack Republican nominations—handpicking weak candidates to rig the game. Could this bill spell the end of GOP control in New Mexico? Then Freshman Rep. Elaine Sena Cortez joins the show to talk about her fight for a bill protecting women's sports from being forced to be shared with biological men. With a young athlete sharing her chilling story of a brain injury from playing against a biological male opponent, the stakes couldn't be higher—yet the Democrat majority crushed it. What's next for our daughters? Then! Senate Minority Leader William Sharer joins the show to reveal the legislative chaos in Santa Fe. From a doomed EV mandate that could kill local car dealerships to a progressive cash grab with sky-high minimum wages and corporate taxes, he's sounding the alarm.

The bombshells keep dropping as Steve Danielle tackle Deb Haaland's bid for governor. Her oil-killing record as Interior Secretary could gut New Mexico's economy—jobs lost, billions gone. Is she Kamala 2.0? And what's with the AG's stunt suing Trump and Musk over DOGE while ignoring real crime in our streets? Finally, Trump's immigration crackdown heats up. Will our governor face jail for defiance? Steve says lawsuits, not cuffs, are coming—but he's got no mercy for DOJ and FBI insiders leaking ICE raid plans to protect gangs.

I testified yesterday on a bill that would eliminate New Mexico's income tax. Here's what I said and here's what happened. Speaking of zero income tax states, IN & OUT burger chain moves to Tennessee from California.  PFML will finally be considered in its 2nd committee on Wednesday. Paul and Wally discuss what that means.  NM Democrats seem to have settled on a plan to raise alcohol taxes. SB 139 which would have eliminated MLG's EV mandate was defeated in its first committee on partisan lines. A "study" claims UNM athletics creates a big economic benefit for New Mexico. We appreciate collegiate sports but take the study with a big grain of salt. How's the NM "Portfolio" doing? We have an update. New Mexicans spend 6th most on groceries as a percent of income according to a new report.

A judge has ruled that MLG overreached in attempting to force districts to adopt 5 day school weeks.  Paul and Wally discuss the latest from the Roundhouse.  National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) scores came out last week. New Mexico again brings up the rear.  Tennessee becomes 13th state in US to adopt universal school choice. According to the latest EV sales numbers New Mexico is nowhere near the mark.  SB 139 introduced this session would overturn the Gov.'s EV mandates. Surprisingly New Mexico is not ranked very highly as a retirement destination. Ilya Shapiro will be speaking at an RGF event on Feb. 21.

MLG finally wants to look at Juvenile justice reform in NM after 6 years in office on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a week since the Legislature began. Paul has been to Santa Fe twice and discusses what is happening.  SB4 (net zero) is one of the craziest bills that will be moving this week. MLG gave her State of the State address. We have some thoughts. The Santa Fe New Mexican did a fact check of the address. RGF is part of a coalition working to defeat Paid Family Leave. Find out more here. Paul had an opinion piece in several media outlets on alcohol taxes and why raising them is unnecessary.  New Mexico has the lowest median pay in America: DC workers now make nearly two and a half times as much as the average New Mexico resident. ABQ bus ridership continues to slowly rebound post-COVID. Mayor Keller's latest scheme in downtown Albuquerque is particularly dumb. The WNMU situation keeps getting worse.

Donald Trump was (again) inaugurated president of the United States on Monday. Paul and Wally discuss and address issues w/ Biden's presidency.  Biden issued more pardons on his way out the door including for Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, and several family members. More pardons have been issued by Biden than any other president in American history. Biden even attempted to declare the Equal Rights Amendment the 28th amendment to the US Constitution. The LFC budget (like MLG's) is ALSO a dud for New Mexico taxpayers. Yes, New Mexico could/should eliminate NM's personal income tax. NM Women's Specialists to stop delivering babies at Presbyterian citing New Mexico's tax, malpractice, and Medicaid. Also, NM House Dems outline their health care plans for session (which don't do anything for the doctor shortage).  Paul has been watching the TV show Landman. He recommends this short, profanity laced talk by actor Billy Bob Thornton about the importance of oil and gas.

They discuss the effect of the open border immigration policies of Europe and compare it to what is happening in America under Biden. Steve gives insight on his serving under Trump's administration and shares a story about how he and Trump butted heads and how that led to him growing respect. Steve deep dives into the New Mexico state budget and shows what we're getting for the money. So, Martin Heinrich or Deb Haaland may run for governor, what does a Republican candidate have to do to beat them? Could Gov. MLG appoint herself to Heinrich's senate seat if he stepped down to run? Is there a place for Steve in Trump's administration? Tune in to hear it all and more, and join us weekly for a closer look Inside New Mexico!

MLG's budget is out and it offers taxpayers nothing. Paul and Wally do a bit of a deep dive into the budget process and why it is so confusing and lacking in transparency.  Not all legislators want to address New Mexico's medical provider shortage. A $10B program to buy EVs for the U.S. Postal Service is far behind schedule, with defense contractor Oshkosh not disclosing significant manufacturing difficulties for more than a year. The USPS has received only 93 trucks - far fewer than the 3,000 expected by now. Cost is $167K per truck  New Mexico sticks out (badly) in the brand new "Merit Shop Index" put out by Associated Builders and Contractors which ranks state construction environments in all 50 states.

New Mexico drops two spots to 47th in latest Economic Freedom of North America. UNM football loses head coach. Why does this have economic importance? "Free" college drives up attendance at New Mexico colleges and universities, but to what end?  Bernalillo County is voting on Tuesday to potentially raise County Commissioner salaries under the recently-passed constitutional amendment. Is YOUR county voting to increase commissioner salaries soon?  MLG wants to potentially move the New Mexico's State Fair. Paul and Wally take a closer look. . We took a look at Maxeson Solar's financials and they are UGLY. 6% of federal workers are in the office full time while one-third are fully remote.

NM House speaker says "Trump Could Learn from NM": how's that?    MLG claims New Mexico's child poverty rate dropped from50th to a ranking of 17th. What's the REAL story?   NM's stark decline in public school enrollment is set to accelerate. .   Economic ignorance of those "leading" New Mexico is a real problem.   The US Constitution should be amended to keep the Court at 9members.    Heritage Foundation finds New Mexico election integrity ranked 36th.   MLG's symposium on transportation omits the dominant transportation technology and other important issues.   NM State auditor finds numerous instances of wasteful spending at WNMU.

On this week's Tipping Point conversation Paul and Wally discuss President-elect Trump's cabinet choices and their special importance to New Mexico. Interior, Energy, HHS, and "border czar" are among the most impactful. How will they impact our State?  Speaking of RFK, Paul's tweet about RFK taking MLG's "dream job" recently went viral. Paul was in Lake Tahoe last week with Grover Norquist and members of the center-right coalition. What was he there for and what did he learn? Newly imposed food stamp work requirements took effect in a few counties around New Mexico recently. Some liberals are freaking out.  New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martinez says NM is "Trump Proof." Paul and Wally believe differently.  California recently enhanced its "clean fuel standard" like the one New Mexico has in place. It will cost California motorists 67 cents/gallon as a starting point.  It will be a challenging legislative session for freedom lovers in New Mexico in 2025, but RGF has outlined its goals for 2025. 12 women volleyball players in the Mountain West are suing the conference on First Amendment grounds over the transgender player for San Jose State University.  A former Democrat State Senator recently took Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller to task over crime.

Today we are talking with a pediatrician who paid off $330,000 in 7 years. He talked about being mentally prepared for this to take a very long time. He refinanced his loans in 2019 and was making payments and trying to throw extra cash at them when he could. But when he sold his first house and moved to a new home he made enough on that sale that he was able to pay the rest of those loans off in one whack. He is loving the freedom of being done with the payments.
