In This Episode: Back to the Glory Days of New Mexico Politics: Mark takes us back to 1997, when New Mexico boasted one of the best congressional representations in the country. Even the Clinton Administration we had to cut government waste back then! He contrasts that golden era with today's feckless leadership, which shows neither the ability nor the desire to rescue us from ballooning debt and excessive government spending that could lead to catastrophe. The Economic Breakdown & DOGE's Game-Changing Potential: We reveal why the current economic situation is worse than you think and how DOGE could play a pivotal role in pulling the US out of a spiraling debt crisis. Mark explains why Trump's strategy in challenging waste, fraud, and abuse is likely to get the green light in court—and why it matters now more than ever. Media Bias & Fading Accountability: Once, the media fearlessly questioned our leaders and exposed their lies. Today, however, they've become willing PR agents for those in power, making government accountability even more difficult to achieve. Trump's Resurgence & Poll Numbers: We analyze a new ABC poll that shows Trump's numbers are surging. Discover which key voting bloc is driving his comeback—and why his opponents seem stuck in the 20% zone. JD Vance Takes on Europe: JD Vance heads to Germany and tells European leaders, in no uncertain terms, to stop crushing free speech and religious expression. Watch as he delivers some of the most powerful highlights that have European insiders reeling. The Fentanyl Bill Fiasco in New Mexico: Krysty breaks down a controversial bill in the New Mexico State Legislature that would have increased penalties for fentanyl use and sale. Find out who voted against it—and why their decision could have dire consequences for the state's fight against one of its deadliest epidemics. Epic US vs. Canada Ice Battle: Finally, we cap off the episode with an epic showdown where sports and politics collide—witness how the US came out on top against Canada on the ice, blending athletic prowess with patriotic spirit! #news #breakingnews #politicalpodcast #doge #musk #trump #albuquerque #newmexico #governmentwaste #taxdollars #hocky #merica https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

This year, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a 40-year license for a private company, Holtec International, to build a facility between Hobbs and Carlsbad that would store nuclear waste from power plants the company is decommissioning in states from New Jersey to California. New Mexico already stores transuranic waste from nuclear weapons production in the salt caverns at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant or WIPP.  This project would be different, and would eventually hold up to 10,000 canisters, with each canister holding 8,680 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from commercial power plants. The New Mexico State Legislature passed Senate Bill 53 this year, which would prohibit state agencies from issuing permits, contracts or leases for the facility—unless the state approves the facility or the federal government moves forward with a permanent storage spot for the nation's commercial nuclear waste.     On this special episode of Our Land, we hear from John Heaton, a former New Mexico state representative who works with Holtec; Sen. Jeff Steinborn, the sponsor of Senate Bill 53; and Dr. Myrriah Gómez, a professor at the University of New Mexico and the author of "Nuclear Nuevo México: Colonialism and the Effects of the Nuclear Industrial Complex on Nuevomexicanos.”  Host: Lou DiVizio Correspondent: Laura Paskus  Guests:  John Heaton, chair, Eddy-Lea Energy Alliance  Dr. Myrriah Gómez, author of "Nuclear Nuevo México."  Jeff Steinborn, (D) NM District 36 – Doña Ana County  For More Information: Nuclear waste storage permit slated for September public meeting – Source NM  Nuclear Regulatory Commission Approves Nuclear Waste License in NM – Our Land  Concern Over Nuclear Disposal Plan – Our Land     --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nmif/message

In today's episode, we discuss Alec Baldwin's claim that the 'Rust' D.A.'s Weapons Charge is BogusAlec Baldwin is going after the "Rust" prosecutor ... claiming she is charging him with something that wasn't even a crime at the time of the incident.As we reported, Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter with a firearms enhancement. That firearms enhancement allows the judge to put Baldwin in prison for a MANDATORY 5 years.Baldwin's lawyers filed legal docs Friday, arguing the firearms enhancement law was not passed by the New Mexico State Legislature until May, 2022 ... 7 months AFTER the incident.The version of the enhancement law that was in effect at the time of the "Rust" shooting requires that a firearm be "brandished," and that term is defined as  displaying or making a firearm known to another person ... with intent to intimidate or injure a person.  The King Kandy Show is American Podcast who discuss the day's " Hot Topics" comedic tone on  entertainment news.This show is Like "The Daily" show and "Talk Soup" wrapped in one.#AlecBaldwin

Over 100 years ago, the New Mexico State Legislature passed a bill which created the NM State Game Commission. In 1917 the NMWF founder Aldo Leopold, said the purpose of the commission was to “Get the game department out of politics.”On May 28, 2019, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham appointed seven exceptionally qualified people to serve on the game commission. As of this date [Jan. 21, 2022], only three of those seven appointees still serve on the commission.In this episode we take a deep dive into the unraveling of our game commission and how the agency the commission is supposed to oversee -- the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish -- has come to be called an “agency in crisis.”New Mexico Wildlife Federation Executive Director Jesse Deubel visits with former chair of the commission, Joanna Prukop and former vice chair, Jeremy Vesbach. The governor removed Prukop from the commission without explanation on Dec. 31, 2019 after only six months of service. The governor removed Vesbach on Jan. 4, 2022, also with no reasonable explanation.For anybody who hunts or fishes in New Mexico or anybody generally concerned about wildlife management in the state, this is a MUST LISTEN episode. Learn the intricacies of the issues facing our state wildlife agency, our game commission and most importantly learn what you can do to help. Enjoy the listen! For more info:https://nmwildlife.org/

A self-taught botanist, Alice is remembered for saving almost 1500 specimens from a burning building following the San Francisco earthquake in 1906. Afterward, Alice wrote about the specimens that didn't make it: “I do not feel the loss to be mine, but it is a great loss to the scientific world and an irreparable loss to California. My own destroyed work I do not lament, for it was a joy to me while I did it, and I can still have the same joy in starting it again.” An account of Alice's heroics was recorded by Carola DeRooy, who wrote : "On the day of the 1906 earthquake, Alice Eastwood, curator of Botany at the California Academy of Sciences, rushed straight into the ruins of downtown San Francisco as a firestorm swept toward her beloved Academy building. Arriving to find the stone steps dangerously crumbled, she and a friend nevertheless climbed the metal spiral staircase to the 6th floor with a single-minded mission: to rescue what she could of the largest botanical collection in the Western United States, her life's work. Eastwood saved 1,497 plant type specimens from the Academy but lost the remainder of the collections to the all-consuming fire. Just three days later, she joined Geologist GK Gilbert to inspect a fault trace resulting from the earthquake, north of Olema, within what is now the Point Reyes National Seashore." That moment with Gilbert at the fault line was memorialized forever in a captivating photo featuring Alice standing next to the fault line's surface ruption. Alice was 47 years old when the quake hit in 1906. After the fire, Alice set her mind to rebuilding the herbarium, and over the next four decades, she collected over 300,000 specimens. Alice retired as the curator at the age of 90. Alice was the protégée of the botanist Kate Brandegee. Dale Debakcsy created a poignant article about Alice in 2018, and he ended it this way: “In 1959, the California Academy of Sciences unveiled the Eastwood Hall of Botany, which is very nice, but I think the most fitting tribute is the naming of the Eastwoodia elegans.  There is only one species in the Eastwoodia genus, and it is a sunflower, and both of those facts match so well with everything we know of Alice Eastwood that nothing more need be said.”   January 19, 1880  Today is the birthday of the American suffragist, fern collector, botanist, professor, and author Carlotta Case Hall. Carlotta studied botany at the University of California, Berkeley, which is how she met her husband, the botanist and professor Harvey Monroe Hall. Later, Carlotta herself became an assistant professor of botany at Berkeley. Carlotta had a passion for collecting ferns, and she wrote about them as well. Today, Carlotta is remembered in the handy little illustrated guidebook on Yosemite that she co-wrote with her husband, Harvey. The pocket-sized botanical guidebook featuring over 900 species of plants was called A Yosemite Flora: A Descriptive Account of the Ferns and Flowering Plants, Including the Trees, of the Yosemite National Park; With Simple Keys for Their Identification; Designed to be Useful Throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains. A 1912 Book Review said this: “For the lover of the great outdoors who combines with his love of wandering a fondness for botanical research, this little book will prove a heydey companion.  The book is bound in flexible sheep and is just the right size for pocket use.” Today, a beautiful light green California fern, the tufted lace fern or Carlotta Hall's lace fern (Aspidotis carlotta-halliae), is named in Carlotta’s honor.   Unearthed Words In my climate, the hours of daylight are few, the number of sunny hours even fewer. We trudge through the gloom day after day, all through January and February. But when the sun does shine, it carries a magnificence, unlike any other time. Perhaps our gratitude for light makes it so, but I think not. — Marjorie Harris, In the Garden, The Magic of Light   Grow That Garden Library Windcliff by Daniel J. Hinkley This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is A Story of People, Plants, and Gardens. In this book, we learn about Windcliff - one of two magnificent gardens created by the plantsman, nurseryman, and plant hunter Dan Hinkley. (Dan also created Heronswood.) “These iconic gardens, and the story of how one gave rise to the other, are celebrated in Hinkley’s deeply personal Windcliff. In a lively style that mingles audacious opinions on garden design with cautionary tales of planting missteps, Hinkley shares his infectious passion for plants.” In these pages, you will love hearing about how Dan created Windcliff, from the exceptional plants he selected to his pragmatic garden advice. This book is 280 pages of creating a garden with a modern master who loves plants and is delighted to share his stunning garden with us. You can get a copy of Windcliff by Daniel J. Hinkley and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20   Today’s Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart January 19, 1925 On this day, The Santa Fe New Mexican published an article called “Yucca too Much" Like a Soap Ad; Wants Cosmos For State Flower. The article featured the opinion of a woman who said, “I object to the yucca as [the State Flower] and want to correct the statement that the school children chose it because they really chose the cactus. Personally, I suggest the cosmos, now grown all over America because years ago, an old Spanish family In Albuquerque brought some seed from Spain, which was afterward sent east, propagated, and distributed all over the country. The cosmos grows everywhere in New Mexico, profusely and so far as I know has [not] been appropriated as a state flower by [any] other states.” Today the New Mexico State Flower remains the Yucca Flower. As hardy plants that thrive under trying conditions, Yuccas are a common sight across the lower elevations in New Mexico. The Soaptree Yucca (Yucca elata) is the most prevalent.   A member of the Agavaceae ("Ah-gah-VAY-see-ee") Family, Yuccas are commonly known as Spanish bayonet, Adam's-needle, and soapweed. A valuable plant to many native tribes of the American Southwest, all parts of the Yucca plant were used. The pointy, sharp leaves were stripped into fibers for weaving. The Apaches enjoyed eating the edible flower stalks and blooms. Most of all, the Yucca root contains the compound saponin and is a natural source of soap. In addition to the yucca, there are several saponins or “soap plants” like the Horse Chestnut, the Soap Lily, the Soapwort, and the fruit of the Buffaloberry. The New Mexico State Legislature passed legislation making the yucca the official State Flower on March 14, 1927.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener.

Here we go, Friends….please read through the information I just received from Dauneen Dulce. Let’s get ready to fight for LIFE! “Yesterday marked 44 years since the Roe v. Wade ruling. Millions of babies had their lives sacrificed because of that ruling. Even though the numbers are going down each year, abortion is still an atrocity, has moved into infanticide with doctors killing live babies after they are born. Yet there is great hope for abortion to be eliminated legally in the years to come. Today, President Donald Trump made an executive order to defund Planned Parenthood. This is a beginning of the actions that will take place to ultimately rid our nation of court sanctioned abortion. We must stop infanticide too. HB37- The Born Alive Protection Act has been assigned to 2 committees: Consumer and Public Affairs and the Judiciary Committee. This bill will make it illegal to ignore or to kill a new baby that has been delivered from its mother. This is being done across the nation and even at the University of New Mexico. RTLCNM SUPPORTS HB 37 SPONSORED BY REP. ROD MONTOYA. Unfortunately the culture of death that deals with the end of our life is supported by many, even those who oppose abortion. They don’t see that having such a bill become legal will encourage those who are vulnerable to depression, fear, and concern of autonomy and expenses. People who are old, chronically ill, disabled will be pressured to “die with dignity.” This is not love, compassion or caring. It is destructive! HB 171 CALLED END OF LIFE OPTIONS AND SPONSORED BY SEN. BILL MCCAMLEY AND REP. DEBORAH ARMSTRONG HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO THE HOUSE AND ASSIGNED TO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. RTLCNM OPPOSES THIS LEGISLATION. I am asking each and every one of you reading this email to write, call or e-mail your legislator immediately and ask them SUPPORT HB 37 and to OPPOSE HB 171. For talking points look at the attached flyers. We have also attached the information on the legislators. To write them: Send it to the New Mexico State Legislature, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Their e-mail is at the bottom of their name on the sheet. To call: Call 505-986-4300 and ask for the room of your legislator and give the secretary the information and ask for a response. The Bill even allows a nurse practitioner and others to give a prescription to a person for the purpose of killing themselves. They are not in the position to diagnose or to be able to tell someone they are terminally ill. The language is terrible and written in a manner that much interpretation can be made by those who would be in position to help kill someone. So while the national news is very good, we in New Mexico must do our part to stop those who want to use death as a solution to those “unwanted” by some in our society. In gratefulness for our lives, please do your part now – this is a team effort, this is being pro-life.” Thank you, Dauneen and Thank You, my Friends for working together with us! Dan and Laura

Host Peri Pakroo is back at the podcast mic, processing the 2016 election and figuring out how to fit political organizing into her self-employed life. In this episode she interviews Eric Griego, longtime progressive politician and organizer who has served on Albuquerque's City Council and the New Mexico State Legislature, and is currently the State Director of the New Mexico Working Families Party. Eric and Peri talk about moving past grief and blamestorming after the election, and how progressives can build upon the momentum that was generated by Bernie Sanders and others to fight back against the "machine" politics that dominate both major parties. Eric fills us in on what he's doing with the Working Families Party, as well as what many other organizations in New Mexico are up to, and how they are coordinating to build inclusive, diverse coalitions and bring regular people into government.  Listen below and/or subscribe at iTunes! Our rad theme song is “You Do Your Own Thing” by Sam Miller.

We explored what’s in the future for Albuquerque, whether it’s the decision over the Santolina Master Plan, the upcoming events in honor of César Chávez, or what’s happening in our New Mexico State Legislature. We're joined by Virginia Necochea and Juan Reynosa, who spoke about how the Santolina Land Development will impact our community. We also had organizers from the Recuerda a Cesar Chavez Committee, Danny Hernandez and Diana Martinez-Campos, to help us learn more about the march, fiesta, exhibits, food, and music.

Peace Talks Radio, the series on peacemaking and non-violent conflict resolution, features Jane Davis of Hope-Howse. In December 1993, Jane was asked to be a media witness at an electric chair execution in Georgia. She says witnessing the execution made everything inside her go "haywire." She writes, "This isolated act of killing another human being...left no alternatives. It took away all hope." Since then Jane has been travelling to death rows and prisons around the country and around the world, counseling inmates to help them find the goodness inside them and help them achieve some inner peace. She has worked with at-risk youth as well and has advocated against the death penalty. "Hope-Howse" stands for "Help Other People Evolve through Honest Open Willing Self Evaluation." She talks about her work with Carol Boss. In part two of the program, we rebroadcast our visit with musician and death penalty opponent Steve Earle from 2005 and hear some voices in support of the death penalty from the debate in the New Mexico State Legislature that year. New Mexico ultimately abolished the death penalty in 2009.
