Show Notes

Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 25-003 into law, prompting fierce debate about Second Amendment rights and constitutional overreach in Colorado. Meanwhile, the state legislature advances HB25-1312, which would classify misgendering as discrimination under Colorado law.

Colorado Firearms and Parental Rights Legislation

Start listening at 17:24 – Hour 1

Brandi Bradley (HD39) provides an urgent update from the Colorado Capitol. The governor signed what Bradley calls the most egregious and unconstitutional gun legislation in state history.

“I mean, we are on the verge of communism, and people think that we’re almost California. I say it all the time. We’ve told California to hold our beer. We are worse than California.”

Brandi Bradley

Bradley reveals the legislature is allocating $4 million to sue President Trump while the state faces a billion-dollar deficit. HB25-1312 would add misgendering and deadnaming to Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act.

National Debt Crisis and the Nature of Protests

Start listening at 32:09 – Hour 1

Scott Powell, Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute and author of Rediscovering America, analyzes the protests against Trump administration reforms and warns about dangerous debt levels.

“Our country is bankrupt. We’ve been on a trajectory of bankruptcy really since the Obama administration. The combined debt now, when we add up a state debt and federal debt, our debt levels are now at 133%.”

Scott Powell

Powell argues that DOGE reforms and tariff policies represent necessary course corrections for a nation facing potential fiscal collapse.

Defending Constitutional Gun Rights

Start listening at 62:28 – Hour 2

Alicia Garcia and Teddy Collins introduce the Second Syndicate, a new 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to defending constitutional gun rights in Colorado.

“Colorado is being shown to be the blueprint for the proposed tyranny that they want to implement all across the United States. And I think that we are a pinnacle battleground to demonstrate what they will do and what they are doing everywhere else.”

Alicia Garcia

Election Security and Cultural Optimism

Start listening at 74:43 – Hour 2

Gold sponsor Susan Harris discusses election integrity concerns while expressing optimism about the younger generation’s engagement with conservative values.

“Well, I would like to say I do feel so much optimism right now, especially in the younger generation. I recently got some information from Turning Point USA, you know, they’re out on the college campuses and there are thousands and thousands of students now attending their events. So it is very encouraging.”

Susan Harris

Harris warns that nefarious foreign actors have infiltrated American electoral systems at multiple levels.
