This is Episode 51 – Texas Politics as we start the 1850s Texas politics is a contact sport, and Texas Politics as we start the 1850s was almost a blood sport and today's Texas politics and politicians often seem like they still are set in 200 years ago. What was Texas and America like in 1850? Frankly, it was a mess, the country was mired in controversy after controversy, especially when it came to the issue of slavery. Texas itself, after lowering the flag of the Republic in 1846 struggled to find its footing. After the war with Mexico in 1848 the state government was bound and determined to make the Rio Grande river, especially the far western part, the state's boundary. Well, this meant that most of Eastern New Mexico, including an area that reached all the way to Santa Fe would become a part of Texas. In fact, in 1848 the state legislature declared that part of Eastern New Mexico to be named Santa Fe County and the governor, George T. Wood, sent Spruce Baird there to set up a county government.  Needless to say, the proud people of Santa Fe, refused to accept the Texans and with the help of federal troops forced Baird and the other Texans with him to depart. Baird was only able to stay until July 1849 at which time he left the region. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. a major controversy was brewing between legislators from the North and those from  the South. Of course, this was over the issue of slavery and especially if it was to be allowed in the newly acquired territories that had recently been acquired from Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the Mexican-American war. This necessarily drew Texas into the dispute on the side of the South, remember the early Anglo settlers of Texas were mostly southerners and their allegiance was to the south and to the slave owners. Why does this matter? Simple, because when President Zachary Taylor, took office in March of 1849,  he suggested that the  best way to handle adding the new territories of California and New Mexico would be to bring them in directly as states and just bypassing the whole you have to be a territory first thing.  While that sounds like an easy thing to do, not so fast, because most people knew that both California and New Mexico were most likely going to prohibit slavery. Well, this set off alarms in the South, Texas and the Anglo Texans. It also angered Texans  because it effectively stopped Texas from ever claiming Santa Fe and Eastern New Mexico and more importantly to the southern states, it would effectively stop the expansion of slavery at Texas. Diehard southern slave holders vowed they would break up the union before they accepted President Taylor's proposals.  Not only did they urge Texas to stand strong and demand the boundaries they wanted, but the Mississippi state legislature actually called for a convention to take place in Nashville in 1850 whose purpose was "to devise and adopt some means of resistance" to what they labeled as Northern aggression. Needless to say, this was warmly greeted by the passionate Southern spokesmen in Texas, and they  took up the argument. They demanded that the state send delegates to Nashville to prove that Texas would not meekly submit to the union. As my mother used to say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease and in 1849 the Texas Legislature gave in to the pressure and passed an act that created new boundaries. Once again, they proposed to create Santa Fe County and this time they sent Robert Neighbors to organize the government.  Since this was a very active legislative group, they also declared that there would be an election in March of 1850 to send 8 delegates to the Nashville convention, so that they might provide "consultation and mutual action on the subject of slavery and Southern Rights." Neighbors, as Baird before him, discovered the residents of Santa Fe had no desire to be a part of Texas. Well, being the stubborn folks they were,

In a stunning turn of events, the judge in Alec Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter trial dismissed the case Friday, agreeing with the actor's lawyers that prosecutors hid evidence that may have been linked to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western movie “Rust” in 2021. "There is no way for the court to right this wrong," said First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. "The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy." The dismissal was with prejudice, meaning the involuntary manslaughter case against the actor cannot be filed again. Baldwin could have been sentenced to up to 18 months in prison if the jurors had unanimously agreed he committed the felony. The actor was rehearsing a scene at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County on Oct. 21, 2021, when the prop revolver he was holding went off, killing Hutchins, 42, and wounding director Joel Souza. The actor had pleaded not guilty. He claims that he was not aware the revolver contained a live round and that it discharged accidentally after he followed instructions to point it toward Hutchins. Baldwin's lawyers asserted that the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office took possession of live rounds of ammunition as evidence but did not record them in the official case file or reveal their existence to the actor's defense team. Kari Morrissey, the special prosecutor in the case, said the disputed ammunition was not linked to the case or hidden from Baldwin's lawyers. She argued the bullets were not the same size or composition as the live rounds retrieved from the “Rust” set — including the one that killed Hutchins, 42 — and described the dispute as a “wild goose chase that has no evidentiary value whatsoever.” Morrissey said after the ruling that she was disappointed by the court's dismissal and disagreed, but respects the decision. "I believe the importance of the evidence was misconstrued by the defense attorneys," Morrissey told reporters outside court. Asked if she believed she let the Hutchins family down, Morrissey said: "No, we didn't. We did everything humanly possible to bring justice to Halyna and to her family, and we're proud of the work that we did." Alec Baldwin ‘Rust' trial: Judge dismisses his involuntary manslaughter trial Marissa Poppell, a sheriff's office crime scene technician who testified this week, claimed the rounds were not hidden from Baldwin's lawyers and pushed back on Baldwin lawyer Alex Spiro's contention that the Colt .45 ammunition matched the round that killed Hutchins. The Colt .45 rounds were delivered to the sheriff's office in March by former police officer Troy Teske, a friend of Thell Reed, the stepfather of “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the same day she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins' death. The prosecution described Teske as a “good Samaritan.” Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months behind bars, but the dismissal of Baldwin's case could lead to her conviction being overturned. The actor and his team had already won a major legal victory this week when First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled at a pretrial hearing Monday that his role as a co-producer on “Rust” was not relevant to the trial. The move prevented prosecutors from arguing that he bore a special responsibility on the set. Baldwin was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, but the latter charge was eventually dropped. The charges were dismissed altogether in April 2023 as prosecutors cited “new facts in the case.” Then, in January, a grand jury indicted him on an involuntary manslaughter charge once again. Baldwin's lawyers asked the judge last month to toss the case, arguing that the firearm was badly damaged during forensic testing at an FBI lab. But that motion was denied.

Nearly three years after the tragic incident on the set of "Rust," actor Alec Baldwin is set to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. The shooting resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin was rehearsing with a prop gun on October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding Souza. Baldwin has consistently maintained that he did not pull the trigger, stating in multiple interviews that the gun misfired. "I was taking direction from Hutchins and pulled the hammer back as far as I could without cocking it," Baldwin told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. However, FBI testing of the .45-caliber Colt prop revolver indicated that the gun would not have discharged without the trigger being pulled. Baldwin's attorneys recently argued that the firearm was damaged during forensic testing, but their motion to dismiss the case was denied. Initially, Baldwin faced charges of involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, the latter of which was eventually dropped, reducing his potential prison sentence by five years. In March 2023, special prosecutor Andrea Reed stepped down, and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies resigned from the case. Special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason Lewis were appointed to take over. In April 2023, the charges against Baldwin were dismissed due to "new facts in the case," according to prosecutors. However, they noted that this did not absolve Baldwin of criminal culpability, and the charges could be refiled. Over the following months, the special prosecutors continued to investigate. In October 2023, Baldwin and the prosecutors discussed a potential plea deal, but it was rescinded. In January 2024, a New Mexico grand jury indicted Baldwin on one count of involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin's attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, stated, "We look forward to our day in court." Following Baldwin's indictment, SAG-AFTRA, the union representing over 150,000 actors, criticized the decision to re-charge him. The film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also charged with involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence. She was found guilty in April and is serving an 18-month jail sentence. Gutierrez-Reed asserted her Fifth Amendment right during a pretrial interview in May, and it is unclear if she will testify at Baldwin's trial. Assistant director Dave Halls, who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon, is expected to testify. Baldwin has maintained that Halls declared the gun "cold," indicating it had no live ammunition before handing it to him. Prosecutors have accused Baldwin of providing contradictory versions of events. "Every time Mr. Baldwin spoke, a different version of events emerged," stated a court filing from the special prosecutors this spring. The trial, beginning with jury selection, is expected to last about two weeks. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Nearly three years after the tragic incident on the set of "Rust," actor Alec Baldwin is set to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. The shooting resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Baldwin was rehearsing with a prop gun on October 21, 2021, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding Souza. Baldwin has consistently maintained that he did not pull the trigger, stating in multiple interviews that the gun misfired. "I was taking direction from Hutchins and pulled the hammer back as far as I could without cocking it," Baldwin told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. However, FBI testing of the .45-caliber Colt prop revolver indicated that the gun would not have discharged without the trigger being pulled. Baldwin's attorneys recently argued that the firearm was damaged during forensic testing, but their motion to dismiss the case was denied. Initially, Baldwin faced charges of involuntary manslaughter and a firearm enhancement charge, the latter of which was eventually dropped, reducing his potential prison sentence by five years. In March 2023, special prosecutor Andrea Reed stepped down, and Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies resigned from the case. Special prosecutors Kari T. Morrissey and Jason Lewis were appointed to take over. In April 2023, the charges against Baldwin were dismissed due to "new facts in the case," according to prosecutors. However, they noted that this did not absolve Baldwin of criminal culpability, and the charges could be refiled. Over the following months, the special prosecutors continued to investigate. In October 2023, Baldwin and the prosecutors discussed a potential plea deal, but it was rescinded. In January 2024, a New Mexico grand jury indicted Baldwin on one count of involuntary manslaughter. Baldwin's attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, stated, "We look forward to our day in court."

NM SIC invests $50 million in CA-based climate investment fund.   Diane Denish used her political connections to MLG to squash a playground proposed for her neighborhood. CA fast food workers are losing their jobs as $20 minimum wage kicks in. Despite data to the contrary Santa FE County adopted a plastic bag ban.  RGF attempted to challenge NM's campaign finance laws passed in 2019. It was recently rejected by a federal judge (we're appealing). Former Rep. Williams Stapleton has been indicted on federal charges. 

In this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss a fantastic editorial/cartoon in ABQ Journal Sunday. The Journal was reacting to the Gov. speaking to the ABQ Chamber of Commerce. Paul addressed the event immediately and explained that the Legislature did little for NM business this session. Wallethub report: New Mexico is a good state to be poor.  Santa Fe County is pursuing a discredited plastic bag ban. MLG: we need more housing (and signs bill subsidizing housing). Also MLG: we need to add costly new regulations on housing. A few gun/crime bills that passed this session have been signed by MLG. Paul and Wally have thoughts.

Jeremiah Valencia had a terrible childhood, and nearly every adult in his life failed him in some way. There. It feels good to rip the bandage off and get that out of the way.Sometimes bold, declarative statements like that can rub people the wrong way — they tend to think you're judging people too harshly. “Judge not,” they say. “Walk a mile in their shoes,” they say. If you know me, you know I've run a marathon in those shoes, listeners.“Surely there must have been a grandparent or uncle or someone who didn't fail Jeremiah Valencia, right?” A 13 year-old boy is dead. The fact alone means nobody is innocent, and our first, reflexive, knee-jerk reaction should not be one of aversion and defensive posturing.Guilt is good.We should feel guilty.It's our first step toward acknowledging that there's something we could have done better for Jeremiah Valencia.There's an old Buddhist passage that has been translated and interpreted with a different meaning than the original, but it is no less profound. Paraphrasing, it goes “Only three things cannot remain long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”In the case of Jeremiah Valencia, nobody has the moral high ground to say they did everything they could, so I'll say it again because it's the truth. Nearly every adult in Jeremiah Valencia's life failed him in some way, and it cost him his life.Our challenge now, as a community, is to accept our share of the blame and learn from it, so it never happens again. If Jeremiah's story can teach us how to do that, then his death will not have been in vain.Sources“Autopsy shows slain boy died of blunt force trauma.” Albuquerque Journal, 04 08 2018, https://www.newspapers.com/clip/102348142/autopsy-shows-slain-boy-died-of-blunt-fo/.“Corrections : Adult Correctional Facility : Inmate Lookup.” Santa Fe County, https://www.santafecountynm.gov/inmate_lookup.php.

A prop gun discharged by Alec Baldwin killed a film crew member on set, sheriff says. Actor Alec Baldwin discharged a prop firearm on a movie set near Sante Fe, killing the film's director of photography and injuring the director, according to the sheriff's office of Santa Fe County, N.M. Halyna Hutchins, 42, was airlifted Thursday afternoon, to the University of New Mexico hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Director Joel Souza, 48, was being cared for at Christus St. Vincent Medical Center as of Thursday evening. Deputies responded about 2 p.m. to the Rust movie set at the Bonanza Creek Ranch after 911 calls came in of a person being shot on set, Juan Rios, a spokesman for the sheriff said. "According to investigators, it appears that the scene being filmed involved the use of a prop firearm when it was discharged," sheriff's spokesman Rios told the Albuquerque Journal. "Detectives are investigating how and what type of projectile was discharged." The investigation is ongoing and authorities say no charges have been filed in this incident, the sheriff's office said. Detectives are continuing to interview witnesses. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

Tego Venturi: I've heard this and I don't know why this keeps coming up, but why people think you need 20% down to buy a home? Tracy Venturi: You know, I heard people this week, somebody on our team asked the rest of them, said, how do I tell somebody, no, you don't need 20% down to buy a home. And I'm like, really people still think that, and this was millennial, this was millennials that felt like you couldn't buy without 20% down. And it wasn't wise, even if you could buy with less than 20% down, Tego Venturi: If you're a fan of Dave Ramsey. And obviously the financial guy, I mean, he, I mean, that's his thing, right? He says, put 20% down and do a 15 year mortgage. Now, I don't know if he still believes that with a 3% interest rate, the money is so cheap. I mean, Tracy Venturi: Yeah. He doesn't believe in debt. He doesn't, he doesn't believe in debt or credit cards. Right. So it depends on who you're listening to. Tego Venturi: Part of his thinking is he deals with so many people that get themselves in trouble with debt. That may be that's part of his paradigm. Tracy Venturi: I think he realizes there are a lot of people who can't manage a credit card or finances. And so they just have to like, not, it's just cut it, cut it all off and pay it all down. And don't open up credit cards again or have debt, however, with interest rates at 3% and sometimes below I don't know, locking in a, a monthly mortgage rate right now, even if prices are up is still a great time to be a buyer. Tego Venturi: I think so. And, and I, you know, had this conversation with another realtor that was saying, well, what do I do? You know, I don't know how to tell my buyers because I'm afraid they're going to overpay. And then I'm going to have to sell the home for them last year. And I'm like, well, hold on a second. Do they need a place to live? Is this is what homes are selling for right now. Okay. Do we know what's going to happen in the future? You know, so I mean, it's like, it's tough. Cause Tracy, we went through 2009, 2010, 2011, when people were having to sell their homes for $50,000 less than they paid for them. Right. I mean, we saw some of that. I just do not see that in the card anytime in the next few years, I just don't. I mean, we're going to have a slowdown. Absolutely. I just don't see a big decrease in home prices anytime soon. Tracy Venturi: Right. So it's a big myth, 20% down for buying a home is a big one. Tego Venturi: I really took that off track time. Yeah. Yeah. Getting back to where we were getting back to what we were actually talking about. So this study, Tracy want to talk about that it was a profile of home buyers and sellers that the national association does. And they said, you know what, actually people really put down Tracy Venturi: And what they really put down first time, home buyers, about 7%, which is interesting because three and a half percent down is an FHA borrower loan minimum. And a lot of first-time home buyers are FHA borrowers with 3.5% down. But that means there's a bunch of them that are putting 10% or more down, which is great. And hopefully, hopefully families are helping them if they don't have more than three and a half percent down and they're gifting them that money so that they can have more equity in their homes. Because yeah, I'm saying if you're in a position to give to what a better gift you can give your child than to build wealth through you know, through real estate all home buyers though, it's a average of 12% down, down payment. So the 20% hasn't come in yet 20% doesn't even come in with repeat buyers they're at 16%. Tego Venturi: Yeah. So it's interesting. And you know, the reason and just to clarify, why somebody would want to put 20% down is because of mortgage insurance, right. Tracy Venturi: For some loan programs. So mortgage insurance is something that's insurance, that's money that's paid. Every time you pay your payment, that's given to a company that's insuring to your lender, that if you default and stop paying there, they're responsible, not the bank or the lender. Tego Venturi: Right. Right. And so, you know, that financially, that does make sense. Because you, now, you're not having to pay that if you have the wherewithal to come up with the 20% down payment. Tracy Venturi: Right. But there's the great VA loan, right? The, the VA loan is the best loan out there. And there is no mortgage insurance on that. And that, and there shouldn't be no, it's a benefit to our veterans that qualify for a VA loan. There is no down payment required and no mortgage insurance. So it's a great loan. Great, great. Yeah. Tego Venturi: That, that is by far the best program out there and not everyone qualified, not everyone qualified to do your time side note, Tracy, what other, I'm going to do this as a, as a, as a, as a jeopardy question test. What other program in New Mexico is available for zero down payment and they are out there. Tracy Venturi: I know the answer, it's the USDA for rural areas in some rural areas are in Sandoval County are in Valencia County are in Torrance County. Yep. I don't know that there's any in Burnham, Tego Venturi: Bernalillo County, but Santa Fe County. So you get out to Edgewood. If you go to the East mountains, Moriarty you know, down South, like you said, there's, there's areas where you can get those USDA programs in there Tracy Venturi: Might be better to do the FHA though, versus that, you know, it just kind of depends, but getting a great lender to help, you know, the difference and pick, help you pick which loan program, you know, a lot of times buyer buyers have no idea, you know, that there's all these different loan programs and it takes a really good lender to talk with them, to find out what product is going to be right for them.

David Fresquez:Hi, my name is David Fresquez. I'm in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and I own age-friendly senior care. https://caresource.life/Valerie VanBooven RN BSN:Awesome. How long have you guys been around?David Fresquez:We've been around for six and a half year.Valerie VanBooven RN BSN:Wow.David Fresquez:All in Santa Fe and Santa Fe County, and we provide private duty caregiving for people who are aging in place at home.Valerie VanBooven RN BSN:Nice. Very nice. What is the best thing about serving aging adults, David?David Fresquez:There's so many things. I think one thing is there's a huge gratification of obviously serving the community and really getting behind a really good cause of aging in place and helping people stay at home with family, with their neighbors, with their pets. I think that's the biggest thing is when we walk into the door, it's kind of like their Super Bowl, they're so ready for us to help them with their activities of daily living, and they're just so anxious to get their day moving. I think just our presence and just seeing them interact with us on a daily basis is one of the main things.

A former career covert CIA operations officer, Valerie Plame worked to protect America’s national security and prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, in particular nuclear weapons. During her career with the CIA, Valerie managed top-secret covert programs designed to keep terrorists and rogue nation states from acquiring nuclear weapons. This involved decision making at senior levels, recruiting foreign assets, deploying resources around the world, managing multi-million dollar budgets, briefing US policy-makers, and demonstrating consistently solid judgment in a field where mistakes could prove disastrous to national security. She was also involved in covert cyber operations and counterterrorism efforts in Europe and the Middle East. Valerie sits on the boards of Global Data Security, a cyber security company that safeguards digital data streaming and extends that protection to email and attachments, and Starling Trust, a predictive behavioral analytics company that interprets and forecasts behavioral trends. She also serves on the nonprofit boards of Global Zero the United Way of Santa Fe County, and Postpartum Support International. Valerie is affiliated with the Santa Fe Institute, a trans-disciplinary scientific think tank created by two Nobel Prize winners to address the most compelling and complex problems in the world today.
