UNIONS OPERATE LIKE THE MOB WHEN YOU TRY TO LEAVE Once you're in, you're NEVER supposed to be out. From a press release I got a week ago:
Two King Soopers grocery workers have filed federal charges against the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 union in response to union officials illegally threatening to fine the workers, who chose to exercise their right to work during a strike. These cases, filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), follow a series of similar charges against UFCW union officials for issuing retaliatory fines against King Soopers employees in 2022. Both employees are receiving free legal aid from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys.
According to the charges, Local 7 union bosses illegally retaliated against Ryan Lamb and Lucas Martin by assessing presumptive fines and scheduling “trials” for each of them, despite the union having no authority to punish non-members. The charges note that attempts to discipline the workers for post-resignation conduct violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
I've got Patrick Semmens from the National Right To Work organization at 1pm to talk about this. Find their X account here, and their Facebook account here if you want to follow the story.
NOW FORMER HOUSE MINORITY LEADER ROSE PUGLIESE JOINS ME AT 2:30 And we're going to talk about why she left the Colorado Legislature and I don't think it's good.
WHY DID THE ADL KNOW THIS AND NOT THE FBI? To the Anti-Defamation League's credit, they tried to tell the FBI about the hate groups online that seemed to be ginning up for more evil before the Evergreen shooting. The teen who shot two fellow students and then took his own life was active in the groups which urged murder and school shootings. Why can't we charge the people in these groups as accessories to murder? Can't we do that? It's the only way to make it stop. Jimmy Sengenberger joins me at 12:30 to chat about what this kid was up to before the shooting and it's not good. Not good at all.
ROBERT REDFORD HAS DIED And this one breaks my heart but he was 89 and died peacefully in his sleep so how can you not think that's a perfect way for him to go after all he's given us? I honestly was planning on going to Sundance in Boulder just to try and stalk him to say thanks for the wonderful joy his work has brought me over the years. Kids, if you want to know what manly men look like watch Jeremiah Johnson, or The Sting, or even Electric Cowboy. What an amazing career. What is the best Redford movie and why is it Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?
DOUG CO VOTERS, DON'T FORGET ABOUT TONIGHT'S SCHOOL BOARD EVENT Details below and yours truly will be moderating with my good friend and OTHER show co-host Deb Flora.
RIGHT WING FOLKS BASH THE FBI And frankly they need to stop expecting the FBI to operate like a police procedural on tv when the whole investigation is done in half an hour. Kash Patel was on Capitol Hill talking about the Kirk killer and apparently he's been getting a lot of crap from right wing commentators for not finding Kirk's killer fast enough or because the man's dad turned him in. Shut up, and sit down. I would guess there is a whole lot more going on at the FBI when it comes to investigating Discord servers to see if anyone coordinated with this jerk before the shooting. The fact that we know he confessed on a Discord chat before he turned himself in would suggest they are on it. How quickly do they really think crimes are solved and cases are built? This isn't Law and Order, this is real life. The big news in this story is that the killer seemed to give a motive for the murder by saying 'Some hatred cannot be negotiated with.' THAT is directly from the Left, isn't it? Punch them in the face, get in their faces, they're Nazis! Just stop.
GREG GUTFELD LOSES HIS MIND AND HE IS ALL OF US WOW, I saw this last night and was genuinely jealous I can't curse on my show.
I'm glad he said it. We can never move forward until we take responsibility for the trash on our sides. The Left doesn't want to take theirs so we can force it. Take for instance this cutesy video a mom posted on social media of her little children that she is obviously raising to be little radicals:
It gives me no joy to amplify a video of children who didn't have a chance to tell their fame whore of a mother not to post this but I want people to know what level of sickness exists on the left. Allegedly this family is of a soldier on Fort Carson but I have no way of confirming this. There are multiple things that give me pause about this video. One, that these children have been taught that Donald Trump and JD Vance dying is the BEST NEWS EVER. Two, that their mother did not think TWICE about posting this on social media. Three, that this sort of hate is being learned in a soldier's house. But here we are. We've seen this in other places, Hamas comes to mind.
But keep up the great work, Democrats, you're killing it. The Party of Death's next generation.
DENVER FINDS A NEW WAY TO BURDEN RESTAURANTS Because there are a few left who can still operate and that must be stopped. I'm kidding, but only kind of. Now they will have to deal with new idiotic composting and recycling rules. What happens to all this compost,by the way? Is it getting used or landfilled? I'd like to know, along with how much recycling gets landfilled as well. Read more here but there's always room for more restaurants in Douglas County!
DEMOCRATS ARE VIOLATING ALL THE FTC RULES I HAVE TO LIVE UNDER This story makes me so angry. Democrat dark money groups are paying left wing influencers. Fine, go for it, I wouldn't take money from a political party to say things but some of these influencers are too dumb to make money an honest way so here we are. The issue I have is that to take money to share a story, or product, and NOT disclose it is against every rule the FTC and FCC has and they Democrats KNOW IT. I hope this story kicks off a deep investigation by both entities and they slam the kind of penalties I face for such dishonesty from the government. In the article they point out a federal indictment over Russian money funding Tenet, the company that funds Tim Pool among others. In the press release it says this:
“The Justice Department has charged two employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, in a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The Justice Department will not tolerate attempts by an authoritarian regime to exploit our country’s free exchange of ideas in order to covertly further its own propaganda efforts, and our investigation into this matter remains ongoing.”
Exactly right, and at this point the Democrats are the authoritarian regime.
THE OLD DUDE FIRST ARRESTED WAS TRYING TO HELP THE REAL KILLER We all saw an old dude being arrested by law enforcement right after Charlie Kirk's shooting, now we know he was an old left wing activist trying to help the real killer get away. He is charged with felony obstruction of justice and I hope he gets the maximum, whatever that is.
HOW ABOUT THIS FOR OUR SINGLE'S EVENT? I LOVE this idea for our Single's Event, which is in the serious planning stages now. How about we do a Pitch a Friend, where your wingman or wingwoman gets up on stage and pitches your amazing qualities to the crowd? I LOVE this idea!
DO WE REALLY PROTECT FREE SPEECH IN COLORADO? Our governor gave a defense of free speech on X and someone reminded him of the bills he's signed that curtail our free speech. Just saying.

PLEASE GOD LET GOD CONTINUE TO MAKE A COMEBACK This is a great story about a spiritual revival bubbling up now that may have been put on steroids by the murder of devoted Christian Charlie Kirk.
THE FBI INVESTIGATED THE RNC And after reading this I dare anyone on the Left to tell me that Trump is beyond the pale for going after his political enemies. From Senator Chuck Grassley via Breitbart:
Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI agent [Timothy] Thibault. Arctic Frost then became Jack Smith’s elector case against citizen Trump, and now President Trump. These new records show that Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter. The case was expanded to Republican organizations. Some examples of the group[s] that [Christopher] Wray’s FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorney General’s Association [sic], and various Trump political groups. In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under investigative scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups, Turning Point USA. In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. So, today, Senator Johnson [of Wisconsin] and I are making these records public for the entire country to see. And I hope a lot of people are interested in seeing what government can do when various agencies have a political agenda. My investigative work has also exposed the political way in which Peter Navarro was investigated and prosecuted. When FBI agent Thibault found out that Biden’s DOJ would prosecute Navarro, he said — “Wow, great.” That’s a quote.
They accuse Trump of doing everything they already did.
WHY CHARLIE KIRK WAS DANGEROUS I've decided to share videos that I think show best why Charlie Kirk was so dangerous to the Left. In this one he dismantles the notion that DEI is anything but racist.
In this video, in case you don't have time to watch the whole thing, a young man wedded to the notion that he is a victim because of his skin color runs up against logic and reason and an answer he doesn't want to hear, which is that he can achieve anything if he works hard and makes good choices and centers the family first. How horrible.
TRUMP IS SUING THE NEW YORK TIMES After they ran with a story about the birthday book of Jeffrey Epstein that contains a crude drawing allegedly from the then private citizen Donald Trump. Trump says it's a fake and now he's going to make the New York Times prove it isn't. Good. He posted about it on Truth Social I grabbed it from X.
He's right, of course. The paper has been nothing but a mouthpiece for the Democratic party for decades now. We'll see how this pans out, but I can't imagine they are going to settle. It's too dangerous for them to admit that's what they are.
BUT WHAT DO THEY STAND FOR, ERIC? Eric Sondermann writes a column here about the dire straits Democrats find themselves in and bemoans demographic changes which favor Republicans. And though he gives a bit of lip service to the issues he believes they lost on, he gives no service to their real issue, which is what do Democrats actually stand for? Do you know? Because I sure don't.
FOUR DENVER RESTAURANTS GET MICHELIN STARS And you can find them here. I've not tried any of them but will make an effort to.
STOP WITH THE 40 STEP SKINCARE ROUTINE ALREADY Women are gullible. There, I said it. We are willing to overspend on anything we're told is going to make us pretty. Makeup is a complete ripoff, with markups on those products from production to retail being anywhere from 500-900%, and now we've created another stupid way to separate women from their money under the guise of skincare. Dermatologists (who love to sell expensive skincare products, by the way) say this is totally unnecessary.
WHEN CANCEL CULTURE CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST This is a great column that argues that what is happening right now on the Right with people outing others celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk in the hopes they face consequences isn't cancel culture. I'd argue it still is, but with different motive, which is what the author says here while explaining what cancel culture actually is:
Cancel culture refers to a set of practices used in the digital era to enforce progressively coded norms and figures of speech. Progressive activists declared certain topics and viewpoints beyond debate—and bullied individuals who thought otherwise into forced confessions, and institutions into firings. Men and women were punished, their lives ruined, for an errant remark, a simple mistake. Cancel culture was the mechanism for policing the boundaries of the “Great Awokening”: a project of cultural revolution by which traditional understandings of sex, merit, and American exceptionalism were systematically, and sometimes violently, overturned.
That is not what is happening today. Conservatives are not objecting to policy views. They are appalled by glorifications of violence. Rather than gain leverage for a revolutionary stance, they are attempting to reset the political equilibrium so that individuals are not held responsible for their own murder, and violent sympathizers are not exempt from accountability.
I agree with that, but we're still asking for the cancellation of others using the Left's example. And I can't tell you how little I care right now. Check out this guy whining about losing his job for his opinion, as if Charlie Kirk didn't just lose his life for his.
Here me out: I. DON'T. CARE. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Think next time before you dance on someone's grave.
