On May 9, 2024, Bob Boswell, Pam Long, Paula Sarlls, Ty Winter, and Karen Levine joined the show. Boswell exposes late-session oil and gas taxation bills negotiated without independent producers, detailing how enterprise revenue fees extract $173 million annually from an industry already providing 70% of local school funding Long details six provisions of the WHO pandemic treaty that would grant international bureaucrats authority over lockdowns, medical records,.

Bob Boswell, CEO of Laramie Energy, breaks down the late-session oil and gas legislation that caught much of the industry by surprise. Senate Bills 229 and 230 emerged from backroom negotiations with only the three largest producers consulted, leaving independent operators like Laramie Energy facing new enterprise revenue fees that Boswell characterizes as taxation without representation.

The bills impose fees based on production regardless of profitability, meaning companies losing money on natural gas at current prices still pay the assessment. Boswell explains that in District 5 where Laramie operates, oil and gas provides 70% of school funding through existing taxes, which were already increased 26% this year. The new fees extract an additional $173 million from the industry annually.

Boswell contrasts energy density between fossil fuels and renewables, noting that a natural gas power plant on 15 acres produces the equivalent energy of a 3,000-acre wind or solar installation. He warns that policies driving producers to other states will ultimately raise electricity costs for Colorado consumers.

“We’re now getting $1.40 is below the breakeven cost, so we are paying an enterprise revenue on that, even though we’re losing money. This is, in effect, a tax. It’s a way, they call it an enterprise revenue fee. It’s a way to get around the TABOR.”

Pam Long, a West Point graduate and former Army Medical Service Corps captain now with Children’s Health Defense, sounds the alarm on the World Health Organization’s upcoming assembly in Geneva. Beginning May 27, the WHO plans to finalize agreements that Long argues would grant unelected international bureaucrats unprecedented authority over national health policy.

Long outlines six concerning provisions: WHO authority to declare emergencies and mandate lockdowns, collection of medical records that could restrict travel, control over drug utilization including unlicensed medications, censorship of online health information, expansion into food supply regulation through the One Health program, and collection of potential pandemic pathogens without oversight.

States including Utah and Florida have passed laws preventing WHO overreach, with Louisiana and Oklahoma legislation pending. Long urges listeners to contact county commissioners to declare local sovereignty, noting that Door to Freedom provides model resolution language for communities in states where governors support the international agreements.

“Under this very vague definition, the pandemic does not require that anyone become sick in a declared emergency. It talks about a novel or unknown pathogen that would infect humans and could be transmissible and virulent, but not necessarily make anyone sick, to be the trigger to call a public health emergency of international concern.”

Paula Sarlls, Gold Star wife, Marine veteran, and president of the USMC Memorial Foundation, announces the first Marine Memorial Golf Tournament in partnership with the NFL Alumni Association. Former Bronco Wade Manning and former Miami Dolphin Linton Thomas are helping organize the event, with former Bronco Ryan Harris scheduled to speak.

The tournament will honor NFL players who died serving the country, including Marine First Lieutenant Travis Mannion killed in Iraq and Marine Captain Howard Smiley Johnson who played for the Green Bay Packers before dying on Iwo Jima. Living Iwo Jima veterans Jim Blaine, who turns 100 in November, and Al Jennings may attend the luncheon.

Sarlls describes the Buy a Brick program supporting the memorial remodel at the official Marine Memorial in Golden at 6th and Colfax. Five walkways are available, with each right row dedicated to those killed or missing in action. A hole-in-one prize offers a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz to the first golfer to ace the designated hole.

“My mother gave me two pieces of advice when we got married and they were just stellar and helped our marriage. We were married 40 years before Tony died and she told us to never go to bed mad at each other and to tell each other we loved each other every day and whenever we parted.”

Ty Winter, Colorado State Representative for House District 47 and assistant minority leader, provides a rapid-fire recap of the legislative session that ended the previous day. Of 578 bills acted upon, the 19-member Republican minority pushed hundreds of problematic bills off the calendar through procedural tactics and sustained opposition.

Winter highlights victories including killing the pesticide applicator bill that would have allowed cities like Grand Junction to ban pesticides, affecting neighboring agricultural areas like Palisade. Bad bills that passed include HB 1280, the Welcome Reception Integration Grant Program funding services for immigrants, and implementation of state climate goals that Winter connects to child slave labor in rare earth mining.

On the overuse of safety clauses that prevent citizen referendum, Winter notes the Mighty 19 pushed back hard this session, resulting in fewer safety clauses than the previous year. He encourages listeners to sign up for the Colorado House Republicans newsletter and follow their social media for updates on the communication team’s work exposing legislative overreach.

“I was raised to love this country. I love this country more than anything on earth. I would, if I had to, I’d lay my life down for this country. And that’s my 50% of it.

Karen Levine, RE/MAX Realtor and longtime show sponsor, shares her perspective on Mother’s Day while heading to CU Boulder for her newly acquired granddaughter’s graduation. Levine lost her own mother when she was just 26 and her mother only 58, making the holiday particularly meaningful as she celebrates with sisters, nieces, and the next generation of mothers in her family.

“Mothers are very, very important. My mother was very influential in my life, but I lost my mother at a very young age. She was only 58 at the time I was 26. So I really cherish Mother’s Day for all the mothers out there because of the influence they have on each and every one of us.”

Rich Guggenheim, Colorado spokesman for Gays Against Groomers, announced the launch of two critical ballot initiatives through ProtectKidsColorado.org. Initiative 142 requires schools to notify parents if their child exhibits gender incongruence, challenging policies that keep such information secret from families. Initiative 160 protects girls’ sports by ensuring biological females compete only against other females.

Guggenheim emphasized that House Bill 24-1039, which allows children 12 and older to receive medical treatments without parental consent, has already been signed into law. He cited peer-reviewed research showing 97.5% of children who socially transition proceed to medical transition, which causes permanent harm including sterilization, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. As a gay man, Guggenheim characterized gender ideology as a modern form of conversion therapy that harms children who would otherwise grow up to be gay or lesbian.

“This is not a left or a right issue. This is something that I have seen both parties, the whole political spectrum is saying, no, we agree with this. This is wrong. This is a right versus wrong issue. And we have an obligation to protect our children.”

Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, founder of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge and creator of IPAK-EDU, warned that the World Health Organization’s proposed pandemic treaty threatens American sovereignty. The treaty operates through an opt-out mechanism where countries that fail to object to new rules become bound by them automatically, creating global governance without representation.

Dr. Lyons-Weiler explained that the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act already requires the United States to follow WHO’s biosecurity agenda, including the One Health program that could function like a social credit score for businesses. He noted that 54 members of Congress have co-sponsored legislation to leave the WHO entirely, and the House passed a foreign operations bill with zero WHO funding, though the Senate has not considered it. The scientist urged Americans to contact state legislators, since regulation of public health care belongs constitutionally to the states.

“We lost 500,000 small businesses, over half a million small businesses, the last time we tried a lockdown, and those businesses never came back. And so, you know, the economic toll was devastating.”

Lorne Levy of Polygon Financial Group highlighted the advantages of VA loans for active duty and former military members. Veterans can purchase homes, including jumbo properties, with zero down payment and no mortgage insurance. They can access cash-out refinancing up to the full value of their home, a benefit unavailable to civilian borrowers. Levy noted he always asks clients about military experience because the VA program offers significantly better terms.

“When we say it’s one of the things that the government got right, it’s taking care of those that have fought for us or served in any capacity, that are eligible, with some really good programs.”

Trent Loos, sixth-generation Nebraska farmer and rancher, revealed that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem’s record contradicts her public image. He documented that in January 2021, Noem attempted to shut down South Dakota through Senate Bill 1, only to be stopped by the state House of Representatives. The next day, she appeared on Fox News claiming credit for keeping the state open.

Loos explained that Noem signed Senate Bill 201, removing local control over pipeline projects while calling it the “Landowners’ Bill of Rights.” Citizens have launched a referendum petition requiring 17,500 signatures by June 24th. Loos predicted they would collect over 50,000 signatures, demonstrating unprecedented grassroots opposition. He also exposed Noem’s 2021 veto of a transgender sports bill, citing pressure from donors including Danny Sanford of Sanford Health Systems.

“She campaigned in 2024 or 2023 on the premise of being a property rights is our number one priority. It’s 2022, sorry. Property rights is her number one priority. And the minute she got in office again, she took property rights off of her website and has flown in the face of every property owner in South Dakota.”

Forty years ago, a KGB defector, Yuri Bezmenov, revealed the systematic plan Soviet communists used to take down countries and establish a communist-type society and regime. Author Scott Powell’s article, Communist Defectors Warn About Four Stages Of Subversion — And America Is On The Last One, Powell explores the chilling prophecy disclosed by a KGB defector about four decades ago. This defector outlined a strategic plan by Soviet communists aimed at gradually weakening their adversaries through a sequence of stages: Demoralization, Disorientation, Crisis, and Normalization. According to Powell, America is currently in the final stage, Normalization, which he argues leaves the nation particularly susceptible to the infiltration and spread of Marxist ideologies. This stage signifies a critical point where societal structures are vulnerable to being reshaped by these ideologies, thus posing a significant threat to the foundational principles of American society.

State Senator Kevin Lundberg addresses the final days of the 2024 Colorado legislative session. The current legislative session, which is scheduled to adjourn on May 8th, faces a significant challenge as many bills are likely to be dead on arrival. This is due to the constrained time frame of the session, which has not been sufficient to address the unusually high number of bills proposed. Among the noteworthy bills at risk are HB 24-2472, which proposes increasing the cap on damages for non-economic loss or injury to account for inflation, and SB 24-233, which aims to introduce a property tax revenue limit. Additionally, Lundberg has used this session to voice his concerns about activities in the Art Club and express his frustrations regarding “transgender activity,” highlighting the diverse and sometimes contentious issues being tackled in this tight legislative schedule.

On Monday, May 6, 2024, Kim Monson welcomed Dr. Brian Joondeph to discuss the ongoing battle over transgender athletes in women’s sports, followed by historian Bill Federer exploring the origins of Mother’s Day and his new book challenging Christians to engage in civic life. Colonel Bill Rutledge and Roger Mangan shared personal reflections on motherhood in honor of the upcoming holiday.

Dr. Brian Joondeph argues that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports fundamentally violates Title IX protections designed to create equal opportunities for female athletes. Drawing on a recent case from West Virginia where middle school girls refused to compete against a transgender athlete in shot put, Joondeph explains that these students faced suspension rather than support from school administrators. The girls’ principled stand echoes Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign, applying it to what Joondeph calls an uneven playing field.

Joondeph details the biological advantages males retain even after hormone therapy, noting that men swim approximately 10% faster than women at Olympic levels. He warns that records set by female athletes like Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin at schools like Cherry Creek and Regis could be erased by male competitors identifying as female. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey has launched a lawsuit on behalf of the suspended students.

The conversation turns to the broader damage inflicted on children through gender ideology. Joondeph criticizes parents and schools that encourage 13-year-olds to undergo hormone therapy and puberty blockers, predicting a generation of young adults will face profound regret over life-altering decisions made during adolescence.

“But it’s demeaning to women, especially women who have trained and practiced for decades.”

Bill Federer dismantles the pejorative use of “Christian nationalism” by tracing the historical roots of American patriotism. He contrasts globalist movements led by figures like Klaus Schwab, whose World Economic Forum agenda mirrors Karl Marx’s call for abolition of private property, with the American tradition of individual rights derived from a Creator. Presidents from Washington to Eisenhower openly combined Christian faith with patriotic duty without controversy.

Federer cites polling data showing that 93% of Americans identified as Christian in 1965, making the question of Christian involvement in national defense entirely natural. He reveals that 1,200 of the 4,400 documented lynchings during the Jim Crow era targeted white Republicans registering freed slaves to vote, a fact often overlooked in contemporary discussions of racial justice.

The historian exposes what he calls “psychological projection” by those seeking to silence Christian voices. Liberal globalist groups simultaneously fund efforts to discourage Christian political involvement while promoting activist causes, effectively neutralizing opposition. Federer’s new book Silence Equals Consent: The Sin of Omission challenges believers to recognize that remaining silent on moral issues constitutes tacit approval of injustice.

“If a church member’s silence gives consent to wedding vows, it gives consent to other things. And if the church members are silent while they’re killing babies, the church members are giving their consent to killing babies.”

Colonel Bill Rutledge, 95 years young, shares the profound impact his mother had on his survival and character formation. His mother nursed him through scarlet fever at age 105-degree temperatures for three weeks during the 1930s when the disease was the leading killer of preschool children. She later saved his life by breaking down a door when carbon monoxide poisoning nearly claimed him as a teenager.

Rutledge met his wife Virginia just two months after his mother’s death when he was 15 and she was 14. They spent 76 years together, including 69 years of marriage, united by shared values and intelligence. He cannot recall a single significant disagreement in all those years, attributing their harmony to prioritizing compatibility over superficial attributes. The Colonel advocates for younger marriages, arguing that delayed childbearing diminishes both the physical capacity for motherhood and the years available to nurture children.

“To me, mothers are the most valuable asset of a country.”

Nephi Cole, Director of State Affairs with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, reports from the front lines of Colorado’s legislative session after testifying until 1 a.m. on a bill requiring state licensing for firearms dealers. Cole explains that Colorado wants to duplicate what the ATF already does with a fraction of the resources, spending millions of state dollars to address a problem that doesn’t exist. The data shows that only 2% of crime guns come across a dealer’s counter, yet lawmakers focus their regulatory efforts on law-abiding businesses rather than the 98% of firearms obtained through illegal channels.

Cole urges Coloradans to contact Governor Polis at 303-866-2471 to request vetoes on these firearms bills. He expresses frustration that legislators pass laws affecting an industry they don’t understand, refusing to consult with the FFLs who actually run background checks and follow the rules. The bill would create an entirely new division under the Department of Revenue, eventually requiring $3 million annually to perform oversight that federal agencies already conduct.

“All firearms used in crimes, those crimes, about 2% of those firearms come across a countertop at a dealer. That means that somebody would buy a gun legally and then it would become a crime gun. 98% of guns used in crimes are not purchased from a dealer, from someone who has a background check, and then used in a crime. They come from some other location.”

Mailyn Salabarria, born in Cuba and made in the USA as she describes herself, speaks as part of the Dissident Project, a nonprofit speakers bureau connecting immigrants who fled tyrannical regimes with American high schoolers. The organization sends speakers from North Korea, Venezuela, Eritrea, Cuba, and Zimbabwe to middle and high schools nationwide at no cost, sharing firsthand testimony of life under communism and socialism.

Salabarria describes growing up with rationing books that allowed one tube of Russian-made toothpaste every three months, student records requiring children to report family members who criticized Fidel Castro or the party, and grandparents hiding Bibles in closets to avoid neighborhood snitches who would report them to local police for rewards. She connects these experiences to what Americans witnessed during COVID lockdowns, when citizens reported neighbors for keeping businesses open or violating restrictions.

The response from students proves remarkable, with younger middle schoolers often asking the most probing questions. These children lack any comparison point for understanding what life under totalitarianism means, making the Dissident Project’s mission essential for preserving American freedom.

“Any type of totalitarian collectivism and heavily government-controlled society and system, it thrives on envy. It thrives on destroying what somebody else is building simply because you’re utterly unable to do so.”

Doug Jennings, commercial real estate broker with REMAX Alliance, exposes Colorado’s Regulation 28 benchmarking law requiring commercial property owners to report utility usage to the state. While the law passed targeting buildings over 50,000 square feet, municipalities like Denver have lowered the threshold to 25,000 square feet through Energize Denver, and Fort Collins has dropped it to just 5,000 square feet, approaching residential property sizes.

The law creates perverse incentives, penalizing property owners who successfully fill vacant buildings because increased occupancy means increased electricity usage and higher fines. With downtown Denver already suffering 40% office vacancy rates, these regulations make a bad problem worse by discouraging investment and driving property owners out of Colorado entirely. Fines can reach $15,000 for non-compliance with reporting requirements that remain vague and poorly defined.

Jennings reports that the Colorado Apartment Association and Denver Metro Apartment Association have filed lawsuits challenging the law as a property rights violation. He urges support for these organizations fighting back against regulations that will ultimately increase costs for tenants and consumers through higher rents and retail prices.

“We’re seeing properties not being purchased and deals falling apart because they hear about these new laws and the new property rights issues, and they’re saying, hey, I don’t want to buy. I don’t want to invest in a commercial property. This regulatory nature of everything becomes insurmountable.”

Ron Hanks, former state legislator and candidate for Colorado’s Congressional District 3, makes the case for proven conservative leadership in a crowded primary field of six Republican candidates. Hanks, who participated in the Maricopa County audit, warns that mail-in balloting has been a disaster for election integrity, noting that before 2020 only about 30 percent of the nation mailed their ballots compared to over 70 percent now. He points to concerning evidence from Arizona where mail-in ballots that were part of official records had never been folded, indicating they were never actually in envelopes.

Hanks addresses the Biden administration’s 30 by 30 land grab initiative, specifically the Dolores monument proposal threatening private property rights in Mesa, Montrose, and San Miguel counties. He emphasizes that the effort represents an attack on private property rights by people who have been good stewards of the land for generations. On House leadership, Hanks calls for electing a speaker who won’t sandbag Donald Trump the way Paul Ryan did.

“I am the only conservative and I’m the only one with a record. And I humbly submit to the voters of CD3 and the state of Colorado that now is not the time to be experimenting with people who are still trying to figure out what their ideas are.”

Lauren Fix, the Car Coach, delivers a devastating analysis of the electric vehicle mandate crisis destroying the American auto industry. She reports that Cadillac announced it will continue selling gasoline-powered vehicles beyond 2030 because consumers aren’t buying EVs. Over 50 percent of people who buy electric cars won’t go back to electric, and manufacturers take a loss on every single EV sold. Ford Motor Company loses tens of thousands on each F-150 Lightning and Mach-E sold.

Fix exposes how 34 Democratic representatives pressured Volkswagen to allow UAW unionization at its Chattanooga, Tennessee plant, warning that the UAW will attempt to unionize all non-union auto plants in states like Alabama, Texas, and South Carolina. She warns that manufacturers will either automate or move plants to Mexico rather than pay $108,000 a year per worker. Honda has decided to pay federal fines rather than comply with the 35 percent electric mandate by 2032 because people don’t want EVs.

The broader agenda becomes clear: if consumers won’t buy electric cars, the government will force them into mass transit and 15-minute cities where everything is controlled. Fix warns that utilities can shut off power as easily as they turn it on.

“They want you in electric cars. Why? Because people don’t want them. Okay, But there’s a bigger picture. Remember what I said about distraction? The bigger picture is if we can’t get you in electric cars, don’t worry. We’ll make it so you have to travel with mass transit.”

Rebecca Lavrenz, known as the J6 Praying Grandma, recounts her peaceful journey to Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021, where she went to fast and pray for the nation. A retired registered nurse and lifelong believer in truth, Lavrenz drove 25 hours alone after her son encouraged her to pray about attending the rally. She stayed on the east side of the Capitol, experienced a powerful moment of prayer where she wept for her country, and later prayed the 1620 Mayflower Covenant before entering the Capitol building for approximately 10 minutes.

Four months later, the FBI knocked on her door while she was baking a cake for her son’s birthday. After an investigation, she was charged with four federal misdemeanors including entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct. Lavrenz refused to take a plea deal because she believed she did nothing wrong. Her trial lasted six days with jury deliberation extending over 25 hours, unusually long for J6 cases. The judge instructed the jury they could not consider the First Amendment in their deliberation.

Despite thousands praying for acquittal, Lavrenz was found guilty on all four charges. She now faces potential fines up to $230,000 or one to three years in prison at her August 12th sentencing. Her appeal will challenge the exclusion of First Amendment protections. On this National Day of Prayer, Lavrenz calls Americans to pray and work to restore the nation’s godly foundations.

Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial Group, breaks down the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold rates steady. The Fed almost guaranteed their next move will not be to raise rates, which provided some market relief. However, hopes for multiple rate cuts this year have evaporated because inflation is not coming down to the Fed’s target pace. Regular mortgage rates have crept back above 7 percent.

Despite higher rates, Denver home prices continue rising, creating equity opportunities for homeowners over 62 to explore reverse mortgages. Levy emphasizes that preparation leads to success and encourages listeners to call for a no-cost consultation about their individual mortgage needs.

“All hopes for multiple cuts this year are over pretty much. And maybe we’ll do one, just because the inflation is just not coming down to the pace that they want it to be.”

Martha Zoller, a Georgia radio host and political commentator, breaks down the constitutional problems plaguing the Trump hush money prosecution in New York. Zoller argues the case relies on unprecedented legal theories, noting that the gag order imposed on Trump violates basic fairness by restricting only the defendant while allowing prosecutors to speak freely to the media.

Zoller points to a growing bipartisan recognition that the prosecution appears politically motivated. Liberal attorneys have privately expressed concerns that the case lacks legal foundation and merely relitigates settled matters. The timing, she suggests, aims to secure a conviction before the November election based on polling showing voter hesitation toward a convicted candidate.

The conversation turns to Georgia’s election reforms since 2020, where Zoller describes a dramatically improved system. The state now requires ID for absentee ballots, limits drop boxes to polling locations during voting hours, and conducts hand-count audits delivered to the Secretary of State by Georgia State Patrol. Absentee voting has returned to roughly 5-7 percent after spiking to 35 percent during the COVID election.

“We have crossed a Rubicon by doing what we’ve done to Donald Trump. That is going to take a long time. I’m not going to say never because I never say never. This is the United States of America. It’s going to take a long time for us to get over this.”

Trent Loos, a sixth-generation farmer and rancher from Nebraska, exposes the growing crisis of eminent domain abuse targeting American farmers. The discussion centers on Polizzi Farm in Brighton, Colorado, a family operation since 1929 now facing seizure by a metropolitan district seeking to install drainage infrastructure for new housing development.

Loos reads directly from the Fifth Amendment, emphasizing that property cannot be taken without due process and just compensation. He argues that eminent domain has become a weapon used by government and corporate interests to steal property from citizens. The Polizzi family was never notified of the September 2023 city council meeting that granted eminent domain power to the Parkland Metropolitan District.

The conversation expands to federal overreach, including new EPA rules effectively ending coal-fired power generation by 2032. Loos notes that coal provided 57 percent of U.S. electricity in 2007 but has fallen to 23 percent under regulatory pressure. He criticizes major energy companies for capitulating to regulations rather than defending the industry that provides reliable, affordable power.

“I’m looking at a little book in my hand. And it says that, I’ll just read the last two clauses, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation. Obviously, I’m reading the Fifth Amendment talking about eminent domain and this whole public use.”
