Jim Paff explains the removal of pro-life and traditional marriage planks from the Republican Party platform, tracing the history of these positions back to Ronald Reagan’s 1984 platform. While acknowledging concern among conservative activists, Paff argues the real battle lies in legislative action and cultural engagement rather than party platforms that few read. He calls for churches to reclaim their role as salt and light in society.

Paff recounts his experience leading Colorado’s 2006 marriage amendment campaign through Focus on the Family, where a diverse coalition of evangelical, African American, and Hispanic churches helped pass the measure with 60% support in Pueblo County. He challenges churches that withdrew from civic engagement during COVID to recognize their First Amendment protections and re-enter the public square.

“You are called to be because you are called to be light and salt to the earth. I think that’s an important value that so many people run away from. And that’s why so many churches closed down and just gave in during COVID, when they’ve got this stinking First Amendment right there that says the free exercise of religion cannot be impaired in any manner by government.”

Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant in the Georgia RICO case and founder of the Statesman Project, breaks down a federal lawsuit in Colorado that threatens citizens’ rights to verify election integrity. The NAACP, League of Women Voters, and Mi Familia Vota sued the U.S. Election Integrity Project and three Colorado citizens, Ashley Epp, Holly Kaysen, and Sean Smith, alleging their post-election canvassing intimidated voters.

Floyd explains the canvassers obtained voter rolls through FOIA requests and verified whether registered voters had actually cast ballots. When citizens signed affidavits attesting they had not voted despite records showing otherwise, the evidence was submitted to the Secretary of State. The lawsuit, Floyd argues, aims to suppress First Amendment-protected activity and prevent citizens from exposing election irregularities. The trial begins Monday, July 15 at Colorado Federal District Court.

“This is a First Amendment activity, right? And they did everything right. They were engaged in a First Amendment activity. They were knocking on doors just saying, hey, the rolls say this. Did you vote? No, I didn’t vote. Or in some cases, the people didn’t even live there.”

On July 11, 2024, Ramey Johnson, Gianna Miceli, Karen Levine, and Pam Long joined the show. Described economic deterioration on Colfax Boulevard, discussed contrast with opponent’s sanctuary city stance, and emphasized her campaign focus on wisdom, courage, and hope Celebrated Chevron and Jarkesy decisions curbing bureaucratic power, explained her constitutional living approach without government licenses, and discussed Seventh Amendment common law jury rights Reported record inventory.

Ramey Johnson, Republican candidate for Colorado House District 30, paints a sobering picture of economic deterioration along Colfax Boulevard. Fifty-five percent of businesses have shuttered, she reports, while property taxes cascade through to crushing commercial rents. One businessman broke down in tears describing how a California bus dropped off a migrant demanding the job he was promised.

Johnson contrasts her vision with her opponent, a city councilor who wore butterfly pins signaling support for sanctuary policies before any vote was cast. The district stretches from Sheridan to Kipling, Edgewater to Yale Avenue, and Johnson emphasizes her campaign runs on wisdom, courage, and hope rather than party affiliation.

“People don’t care what party I’m in. They just want change. They just want hope. They just want somebody that is seeing what they’re seeing and feels as bad as they do to see the deterioration.”

Gianna Miceli, author of Freedom: The Patriot Playbook to Restoring Your Rights and Freedom and founder of Inalienable University, celebrates recent Supreme Court rulings dismantling the administrative state. The Chevron decision removed agencies’ ability to interpret ambiguous statutes in their own favor, she explains, while the lesser-known Jarkesy case reinforced Seventh Amendment rights to common law juries.

Miceli lives what she teaches. Her boat is unregistered, her car unlicensed, and she creates her own identification documents. Far from lawlessness, she argues this represents constitutional living outside voluntary government contracts. TSA accepts her alternative ID with secondary screening. Banks cash her checks. The system, she contends, is entirely contractual.

“The Chevron decision has removed the ability of these agencies with their rules, codes, and statutes to have authority over us. Things have to follow the Constitution because of the supremacy clause.”

Karen Levine, RE/MAX Realtor, reports encouraging inventory growth across the Denver metro area. Active listings have topped 10,000 across eleven counties for the first time in over a decade, creating genuine choice for buyers despite elevated interest rates. Price reductions of $1,500 to $2,000 weekly signal a market adjusting toward affordability.

Yet Levine warns that policies favoring large subsidized apartment complexes over single-family home ownership threaten the middle-class wealth-building that defines the American Dream. Denver’s proposed half-cent sales tax for affordable housing would paradoxically hurt those trying to climb the economic ladder most.

“What are the things we need to do to stop the progression of the dismantling of American wealth and the middle class? It’s tackling it one policy at a time, one referendum at a time, one ballot issue at a time.”

Pam Long, West Point graduate and former Army Medical Service Corps captain who served as a medical intelligence officer for NATO, delivers a methodical indictment of captured federal health agencies. The FDA rubber-stamps pharmaceutical clinical trials without third-party verification, she explains, while courts have ruled citizens cannot sue the agency for malfeasance. The CDC stonewalls vaccine safety data requests while its VAERS database shows 1.6 million COVID vaccine adverse event reports and 37,000 deaths.

Governor Polis’s bird flu emergency declaration over a single case of pink eye demonstrates the same pattern that enabled COVID overreach, Long argues. Emergency declarations suspend representational government, enabling executive orders that bypass legislative process. Farmers now face the choice of accepting dubious PCR tests or watching government officials slaughter healthy livestock based on false positives.

The NIH’s response to severe vaccine injuries proved equally damning. When doctors asked how to treat patients experiencing hospitalization, neurological damage, myocarditis, and cardiac events, NIH officials couldn’t decide whether victims should receive second doses. Long recommends the FLCCC organization for anyone seeking legitimate treatment protocols.

“When people tell you to follow the science, what they’re actually saying is follow someone else’s risk-benefit analysis for you that has no skin in the game. They’re not going to pay your medical bills. They’re not going to get your job back.”

On July 10, 2024, Donna Tompkins, James Lyons-Weiler, and Trent Loos joined the show. Tompkins explains the two Protect Kids Colorado initiatives requiring girls’ sports protections and parental notification when children show gender confusion at school Dr Loos reveals John Deere’s funding of pride events for children, pronoun requirements for employees, and DEI programs, connecting this to broader concerns about data harvesting from farm.

Donna Tompkins, a volunteer with Protect Kids Colorado, explains why the organization is gathering petition signatures for two critical ballot initiatives. The first would ensure only biological girls compete in girls’ sports, protecting opportunities and safety for young female athletes. The second requires schools to notify parents when a minor child shows signs of gender confusion.

Tompkins describes conversations with parents who had no idea their children were changing clothes at school to present as a different gender. Teachers, she argues, increasingly believe they must protect children from their own parents rather than partnering with families. The petitions require notarization and must be submitted by July 31, 2024.

“We just want the responsibility of the school, if a minor child is showing some gender confusion, let’s say my granddaughter goes in and she’s a girl and her teacher knows she’s a girl. And she says, teacher, I think I’m a boy. I’m going to go put some boys’ clothes on in the closet. The school would be required just to let the parents know.”

Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, founder of IPAC-EDU, exposes a dangerous provision buried in the 2016 legislation. The minimal risk clause allows doctors and clinical trial administrators to enroll patients in experiments without their knowledge or consent if they deem the risk minimal. Teens on psychotropic medications, patients on blood pressure drugs, and even children could be switched to experimental formulations without parental permission.

The scientist traces the provision to concerns within the pharmaceutical industry about informed consent requirements for long-term vaccine safety trials. Because such trials were never conducted with proper placebo controls, every vaccinated child since 1986 has effectively been enrolled in an ongoing safety study without informed permission. Dr. Lyons-Weiler recommends parents read Vax-Unvax, Let the Science Speak by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Brian Hooker to understand the research the CDC fails to publicize.

“The minimal risk clause states that if your doctor and the people doing the clinical trial believe that a drug is of minimal risk to you, they do not have to tell you that you are being experimented on. So they’re denying you informed consent without your knowledge.”

Trent Loos, sixth-generation farmer and rancher, delivers troubling news about the agricultural equipment giant. Researcher Robbie Starbuck uncovered that John Deere funds pride events for children as young as three, requires employees to use preferred pronouns, and enrolled its accounting team in a 21-day United for Equity program. The company scores 95 out of 100 on the Corporate Equality Index.

Loos connects this corporate capture to larger concerns about data harvesting from farm equipment and property rights. Bill Gates, he notes, owns 8.2% of John Deere stock, the largest individual shareholding. The company announced 600 layoffs last week while shifting production to Mexico. Loos also reports that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans to kill 450,000 barred owls in the Pacific Northwest and that the Bureau of Land Management intends to inject CO2 beneath 600,000 acres in Wyoming without notifying local officials.

“John Deere is funding pride events for kids as young as three, that they have gingerbread training in their systems. They ask employees to list their preferred pronouns on all communications.”

On July 9, 2024, Kevin Lundberg joined the show. Analyzed Colorado’s crowded November ballot including abortion constitutional amendments, Protect Kids Colorado petition drives, and legislative referrals affecting property taxes

Start listening at 16:15 – Hour 1

Kevin Lundberg reports that signature gathering for the Protect Kids Colorado initiatives proceeds at a rapid pace across the state. The two citizen initiatives address keeping boys out of girls’ sports and requiring schools to notify parents within 48 hours if a child expresses gender incongruence. With over 5,000 petitions printed for each initiative, organizers have distributed approximately 3,500 and are working against a July 31 deadline to return completed signatures.

Lundberg emphasizes the strategic importance of citizen petition drives when the legislature fails to act on issues important to voters. He encourages Coloradans to visit protectkidscolorado.org to obtain petitions and help reach the signature threshold before the August 5 submission deadline to the Secretary of State. The grassroots effort demonstrates how engaged citizens can bypass legislative inaction to place important issues directly before voters.

“The ballot is so loaded because the legislature has not been doing their job right. And there are a whole lot of reasons why people can’t count on the legislature to get it done.”

Kevin Lundberg raises serious constitutional concerns about the abortion amendment heading to Colorado’s November ballot. Initiative 89 would enshrine abortion access in the state constitution, requiring a 60 percent vote to pass. Lundberg warns the measure was constructed improperly because the ballot title fails to mention that it repeals Article 5, Section 50 of the Colorado Constitution, which prohibits direct or indirect state funding of abortions.

According to Lundberg’s analysis, the Colorado Constitution requires that any portion of an initiative not contained in the ballot title shall not take effect. This creates a potential legal conflict: if the initiative passes, Colorado would have both a constitutional provision authorizing abortion funding and an existing provision prohibiting it. The title board’s failure to include the repeal language may have been intentional to boost support, but Lundberg believes it makes the measure legally vulnerable to challenge.

“This is putting in the Colorado Constitution a very strident abortion shall be allowed anywhere, at any time, for any reason, to anyone. That’s essentially it, and it’s putting it in the Constitution.”

Kim shares her personal plan to walk her neighborhood collecting signatures for both Protect Kids Colorado initiatives and anti-ranked-choice-voting petitions. The strategy reflects the grassroots nature of citizen petition drives, where committed individuals engage their neighbors on important issues rather than relying on paid signature gatherers.

Lundberg praises this approach as a win-win-win solution that builds community connections, educates voters about critical issues, and collects needed signatures. He notes that personal conversations with neighbors during an election year can energize civic participation beyond just the immediate petition issues, encouraging broader voter engagement in November.

On July 8, 2024, Rob Natelson, Taralyn Romero, and Roger Mangan joined the show. Analyzed the October 2023 Supreme Court term, explaining how Loper Bright overturned Chevron deference, SEC v Reported that a judge granted the Parkland Metropolitan District immediate possession of Polizzi Farm property, while the Brighton City Council retains responsibility to ensure minimal farming disruption Contrasted Colorado’s file-and-use insurance regulation with California’s.

Rob Natelson, former constitutional law professor and senior fellow at the Independence Institute, delivers a comprehensive analysis of three landmark cases that dealt significant blows to the administrative state. The Loper Bright v. Raimondo decision overturned the 40-year-old Chevron Doctrine, which had required courts to defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the majority that this deference violated the Administrative Procedures Act.

Natelson explains that SEC v. Jarkeesy restored Seventh Amendment jury trial rights for those facing civil fines from federal agencies. Previously, accused parties faced hearings before officers employed by the same agency prosecuting them. The third case, Corner Post v. Federal Reserve System, extended the statute of limitations for challenging federal regulations, giving businesses more time to seek judicial review.

On the immunity decision, Natelson dispels media claims that presidents can now commit crimes with impunity. The Court created three categories: unofficial acts receive no immunity, core constitutional duties receive absolute immunity, and shared official responsibilities carry presumptive immunity that can be rebutted. He notes the Constitution still provides for impeachment and removal regardless of immunity status.

“The Democratic Party is not controlled by your daddy’s liberals or your granddaddy’s liberals. Your granddaddy’s liberals, while they didn’t really understand economic rights, they didn’t understand the need for free speech. These people are just authoritarians. And just as they’re coming for your guns, they’re also coming for your free speech rights and for just about every other right you have.”

Taralyn Romero, who became a property rights advocate after fighting Jefferson County over her own land, delivers sobering news about the Polizzi Farm case. A judge has granted the Parkland Metropolitan District immediate possession of farm property for drainage construction, finding the district acted within its authority despite being controlled by the same developers seeking the land.

Romero explains that the fight is far from over. The Brighton City Council now bears judicial mandate to ensure construction plans minimize disruption to farming operations. They must ratify final plans, oversee construction compliance, and have authority to enforce modifications protecting the farm’s irrigation system. The next critical council meeting is August 13th, with an ordinance vote scheduled for late August.

The activist draws parallels between this case and eminent domain abuse nationwide, noting she receives outreach from property owners across the country facing similar government overreach. She encourages supporters to email [email protected] for updates on mobilization efforts and upcoming hearings.

“The government, whether it’s eminent domain, whether it’s adverse possession, whether it’s a prescriptive easement, they really do use those avenues to their advantage every single time. And when you’re dealing with property rights issue cases, it’s always, almost always, you know, an individual landowner against the benefit that a new apartment complex will bring to the community or a drainage pipe will bring to the community.”

Roger Mangan of the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team contrasts Colorado’s file-and-use regulatory system with California’s price-controlled market where State Farm has stopped writing new business. Competition controls rates in Colorado, he explains, preventing the government-mandated pricing caps that have driven insurers from other states.

Mangan details inflationary pressures hitting Colorado consumers: body shop rates have jumped from $70 to $100 per hour, with dealerships charging up to $150. Non-economic damage caps on personal injury cases have doubled to nearly $1.5 million, and wrongful death caps have also increased substantially. While he supports fair compensation for injuries, these higher caps translate directly into premium increases.

Traffic safety remains a concern. Despite crashes declining slightly from 122,000 in 2019 to 94,000 in 2023, collision severity has increased as drivers routinely exceed speed limits by 15-20 mph on Colorado highways.

“In California, for example, State Farm has closed shop in California. We will not write any more new business. And we have to submit our rates to the state for approval. We do not have to do that in Colorado. We’re what you call a file-and-use state. So we have a rate. We file it. We use it. And the competition controls that rate.”
