On September 26, 2024, Matt Burcham, Jay Davidson, Karen Levine, and Pam Long joined the show. First-time candidate from Highlands Ranch discusses his grassroots campaign to flip a recently-lost Republican seat, emphasizing citizen legislators over career politicians Bank CEO explains how the Fed’s 50 basis point rate cut is politically motivated and traces current inflation to $8 trillion in quantitative easing since 2008 Veteran realtor explains.
Jay Davidson, founder and CEO of First American State Bank, characterized the Fed’s 50 basis point rate cut as politically motivated rather than financially sound. Davidson traced current inflation directly to the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program that expanded its balance sheet from $800 billion to $9 trillion since 2008.
The veteran banker explained how printing $8 trillion devalued the purchasing power of every dollar Americans hold. “So the next question is, what devalues the dollar?” Davidson asked, walking listeners through the mechanics of money supply expansion. He warned that BRICS nations are actively working to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, threatening America’s ability to borrow at favorable rates.
Davidson’s prescription proved straightforward: stop government spending and reduce the money supply by not reissuing maturing Treasury bonds. “The solution is really straightforward,” he said. “Stop spending and reduce the supply of money in the economy.”
“Inflation is pure and simple devaluation of the purchasing power of the dollar.”

Matt Burcham detailed his campaign for Colorado House District 43, a seat Republicans lost by just 400 votes in the previous election. The Highlands Ranch father and finance professional described himself as a longtime grassroots volunteer who decided to step up after years of working behind the scenes for the Douglas County GOP.
Burcham cited alarming statistics including U.S. News ranking Colorado as the third most dangerous state and a 22 percent year-over-year decline in new business startups. “These leftist policies just don’t work,” he argued, calling for citizen legislators rather than career politicians to restore balance to state government.
“I could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch everything crumble, the decline of our state.”

Karen Levine, a RE/MAX realtor with over three decades of experience, explained Colorado’s leadership in buyer agency representation, noting the state recognized buyer agency in 1991. She described how inventory levels have increased to a decade-high, shifting market dynamics from sellers to buyers.
Despite election-year uncertainty causing some buyers to sit on the sidelines, Levine reported 75 homes in Arvada went under contract in just three weeks. “Because of that, as you said Kim, that creates opportunity for somebody who is like, hey, I want to seize the moment,” she observed.
“Inventory levels have increased to a level that we haven’t seen in a decade.”

Pam Long, director of the Children’s Health Defense Military Chapter and a West Point graduate who served as a medical intelligence officer for NATO, delivered a comprehensive analysis of vaccine adverse event data. She opened by recounting a pharmacy encounter where aggressive COVID vaccine marketing prompted her to inform pharmacists that Florida’s Department of Health had recommended against mRNA vaccines for all age groups.
Long cited 1.6 million reports of injury and death in the OpenVAERS database from COVID vaccines alone, exceeding all other vaccines combined over the previous 30 years. She detailed specific adverse events including 37,000 deaths, 71,000 permanent disabilities, and 28,000 cases of heart conditions.
The military veteran emphasized vitamin D’s role in respiratory health, noting public health never campaigned about the connection between low vitamin D levels and cold and flu season. “To this day, we still have not campaigned about telling the public about vitamin D because it’s not profitable,” she stated.
Long also examined pneumonia, shingles, RSV, and flu vaccines, highlighting serious adverse reactions including Guillain-Barre syndrome and noting that the flu vaccine has never met FDA’s 50 percent efficacy requirement for licensing.
“Florida’s Department of Health, one of the largest health departments in the nation, advised doctors to not give mRNA vaccines to anyone at any age.”
