Kevin Lundberg sounds the alarm on multiple fronts threatening Colorado families and voters. The former state senator and filmmaker behind Art Club Movie details how a three-hour after-school session transformed a 12-year-old girl’s self-perception, revealing the systematic grooming occurring in public schools. His organization Protect Kids Colorado now works to place ballot initiatives addressing transgender policies in education.

Lundberg dissects a troubling letter signed by Republican election officials defending Colorado’s voting systems. He points to the legislature’s elimination of hand-count audits, the secretary of state’s centralized control over county clerks, and proprietary voting software that blocks independent verification. France, the UK, Canada, and Argentina all count ballots by hand at the precinct level on election night, yet Colorado relies entirely on machinery that cannot be independently audited.

The discussion turns to pending legislation. Senate Bill 24-131 would prohibit carrying firearms in virtually any public space, contradicting Article 2, Section 3 of the Colorado Constitution. Senate Bill 24-84 would establish the attorney general as an arbiter of mis- and disinformation, earning comparisons to Orwell’s 1984.

“These are our votes. These are not the domain of the clerks and the secretary of state. No, these are the votes of the people. And this needs to be the most open, transparent, understood, clean process possible.”

CDPHE’s Misguided Health Priorities for 2024

Start listening at 71:52 – Hour 2

Pam Long breaks down the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s annual SMART Act presentation, revealing three priorities she calls wildly off target. The department plans a 50 percent reduction mandate on oil and gas emissions, electric school bus requirements, and restrictions on landscaping equipment, all based on modeling rather than actual data.

Long draws parallels to COVID-era policies where models predicted 2.2 million U.S. deaths and justified lockdowns that proved economically devastating. She notes CDPHE measures success by vaccines and tests sold, not by the businesses destroyed or mental health crises created. The department now enters its second year operating an Office of Gun Violence Prevention, tracking every gunshot injury statewide and planning television advertisements.

Representative Brandi Bradley of Douglas County and Representative Richard Holtorf of Weld County pushed back during the hearing, citing the mental health crisis from school lockdowns, the border migrant situation, and the fentanyl epidemic as more pressing priorities than climate modeling and syphilis treatment mobile clinics.

“CDPHE is posturing to impose harsh energy cuts, and the public will not know for years if these measures actually reduced ozone or by how much.”
