KYLE CLARK PLAYS CUTE WITH IMMIGRATION LAW AND GABE EVANS I guess I should be happy that Kyle Clark is going after a male Republican this time. Clark decided to try to corner Gave Evans on how he would vote on a bill that hasn't been filed by anyone yet that would strip so-called "sanctuary cities" of their federal funding. When Evans didn't answer the question to Clark's satisfaction Clark used that to bludgeon the brand new Congressman on his show. Fine, he has the right to ask whatever he wants. My issue is the way he then tried to downplay what Colorado actually DOES in practice when it comes to immigration law.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THIS IS WHY WE DON'T TRUST GOVERNMENT It's almost like government doesn't understand that there is a whole new wave of empowered citizen journalists who are working daily to hold them accountable. What else could explain JeffCo Public Schools laissez faire response to the firing, investigation, and subsequent suicide of their Chief of Schools? Why weren't they honest with parents from the beginning that David Weiss was being investigated for possession of child porn? Jimmy Sengenberger writes about the latest kerfuffle here and new demands to do away with the Trusted Adult designation championed by the guy being investigated for possessing child porn. Jimmy may be joining us at 1 to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE WINE YOGI IS ON TO TALK DRY JANUARY What is Dry January? It's the month that some people take off from drinking to give their livers (and their minds) a rest after the excessives of December. The Wine Yogi Kristal Alfonso has some great suggestions if you want to feel like you're having a glass of wine or a cocktail with none of the hangover.

CAN WE MAKE DENVER GREAT AGAIN? Today on X.com I saw two different tweets that make me incredibly sad for Denver. First off, we've got this gem, where a Venezuelan (yes, I am assuming nationality but it's a safe guess) "window washer" or as I like to call them "intersection nuisance" was not happy when a man took umbrage with them squirting water on his windshield.He seems nice. And then there was this guy who shared his letter to his landlord about why they have to leave the house they are renting in the Highlands neighborhood.
