Protecting Life from Conception

Start listening at 16:10 – Hour 1

Angela Eicher explains the Got A Heart initiative, a grassroots ballot measure that would make it illegal to intentionally mutilate or cause the death of any living child from conception through adulthood. Eicher argues that current Colorado laws discriminate against children developing in the womb, despite science clearly showing life begins at conception. The initiative aims to set a standard of truth in law while placing judicial discretion in the hands of courts to apply on a case-by-case basis.

Eicher emphasizes the educational component of getting the measure on the ballot, as every voter household would receive the blue book containing information about childhood development stages. She addresses concerns about the legal implications for mothers, explaining that the law would eliminate abortion clinics and mail-order pills, while medical emergencies requiring early delivery would not constitute intentional killing. The initiative also aims to protect women from coercion by bringing the real perpetrators of pressure to light through the legal process.

“In a nutshell, what our initiative does, it makes it illegal to intentionally mutilate or intentionally cause the death of any living child, starting from conception up until adulthood.”

Local Election Integrity Battles

Start listening at 33:32 – Hour 1

Retired Col. John Mills, former director of cybersecurity policy at the Department of Defense and author of War Against the Deep State, details election integrity problems in Prince William County, Virginia. The previous registrar faced felony election fraud charges from 2020 that were recently dropped, only for the new registrar to announce discovery of several thousand uncounted Biden votes from that election. Mills calls for a citizen grand jury to investigate and argues both the registrar and the passive Republican election board should resign.

Mills contrasts American election systems with Taiwan’s transparent paper-only, same-day voting process. He challenges Republican reluctance to use early voting and ballot harvesting where legal, pointing to Devin Nunes’s success in California using lawful means his opponents avoided. Mills argues that waiting until Election Day creates unnecessary risk when family emergencies or car troubles can prevent voting.

The discussion turns to the Hur report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, where Mills highlights the key word “willful,” indicating Biden knowingly mishandled classified information. Mills argues the report creates a dilemma: either charge Biden or invoke the 25th Amendment based on the cognitive concerns cited. He also notes the National Archivist failed to properly collect documents at the end of Trump’s first term, suggesting weaponization of formerly neutral government institutions.

“This is where local action has national impact. And this is the foundation of our constitutional republic.”

Housing Market and Immigration Impact

Start listening at 64:06 – Hour 2

RE/MAX Alliance realtor Karen Levine reports the Colorado housing market jumped into activity in January, with more homes coming on market and more properties going under contract compared to a year ago. While interest rates showed some improvement, Levine notes well-positioned sellers are receiving multiple offers and the fundamental desire for homeownership remains strong despite government intervention and affordability challenges.

Levine addresses questions about illegal immigration’s impact on housing, noting downtown Denver properties face downward pricing pressure while suburban markets remain less affected. She expresses concern about tent camps affecting property values for homeowners who have invested in their communities and paid taxes. The conversation touches on water resources and sustainability, with Levine questioning why local communities should bear the burden of absorbing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants.

“I think what is good is that we continue to see Americans want the dream of homeownership, and despite all the government intervention, overlays, policy changes, threats on affordability, the desire is still there. And we’re innovative, so we figure it out.”

“Children don’t understand the extreme sacrifices that took place in our country and the veterans that we have all around us and who we need to care better for. What better way than to inspire our young people to do that?”
