Episode 255: When Ideology Outruns Reality

No Doubt About It ·

2026/01/14

New Mexico’s short session is loaded with big consequences, and we’re pulling no punches. We break down three high-profile proposals that sound tidy on paper but get messy fast in real life: a sweeping net zero mandate branded as “Clear Horizons,” a ban on ICE detention facilities, and a broad gun restriction that would outlaw many standard handguns and sporting rifles. The throughline is simple and urgent—when ideology outruns reality, families pay the price in higher bills, weaker safety, a...

No Doubt About It ·

2026/01/11

A viral video isn’t a strategy. We open with Minneapolis and ask a harder question: how did we get to a place where leaders and media cues normalize stepping into federal operations as if it’s content? When rhetoric turns risk into theater, the most vulnerable pay the price while commentators argue intent after the fact. From there we press into Portland’s early framing of a “married couple” and the later admission of gang ties. Words matter. So do corrections that come late and land softly....

No Doubt About It ·

2026/01/08

A quiet show plan blew up the moment breaking news hit Minneapolis: a woman spent the morning obstructing ICE, then accelerated toward an agent and was shot and killed. We walk through what happened, why 18 USC 111(b) and Supreme Court standards like Tennessee v. Garner and Graham v. Connor matter here, and how rising assaults on ICE shape split‑second decisions. More importantly, we call out the civic failure of pouring fuel on fear. Leaders can cool a city or light the match—language either...

No Doubt About It ·

2026/01/04

A narco-state on our doorstep, a stolen election, and eight million people on the move—this week we break down why the U.S. seized Nicolás Maduro under a drug indictment and what that means for Venezuela, the region, and us. We start with the simple facts: the largest oil reserves on earth didn’t save a country that nationalized industry, crushed markets, and let foreign adversaries plant flags in our hemisphere. Then we follow the money and the leverage—sanctions, maritime seizures, and the ...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/12/30

Fresh off the holidays, we hit the mic to tackle the stories most shows skipped—and the ones you’ll be debating all week. We start with a surprising economic beat: Q3 growth at 4.3% with consumption leading the way, exports up, and a brewing argument over tariffs and whether momentum can carry into 2026. The question isn’t just what the data says; it’s whether families feel relief when they buy groceries, check mortgage rates, or look at their paychecks. From there we head to New Mexico’s sh...

2025/12/20

Headlines say crime is down. Our streets say otherwise. We open with a stark clash between New Mexico’s governor and Albuquerque’s mayor over a $7M National Guard deployment that was supposed to clean up Central Avenue. The state says there was “lax engagement” from city leadership and no sustained impact; APD’s chief concedes Central “looks the same,” insisting effort isn’t the issue. We sift what actually happened, why metrics were thin, and what residents observe daily: encampments, open-a...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/12/16

A rough Cowboys game, one epic curb trip, and then straight into the numbers that matter: we unpack new post-election polling showing a city that believes it’s on the wrong track and still reelects the incumbent by a wide margin. The data is bracing. Crime and homelessness top voter concerns, majorities expect little improvement, and yet identity beats performance. We walk through why early decisions, negative partisanship, and team-first voting flipped what should have been a challenger adva...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/12/10

The first numbers told the story: a 16-point gap out of early and absentee voting, and a mayoral race effectively over before election night hit its stride. We don’t sugarcoat the loss or blame the wrong things. We walk through why environment beat the candidate, how a 20-point registration advantage frames the battlefield, and why quick concessions are not surrender but respect for math, volunteers, and truth. If you’ve ever wondered whether results on crime, homelessness, and quality of lif...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/12/07

The next Albuquerque mayor won’t just shape city hall—they’ll test whether results still beat party colors. We dive into leaked polling that puts crime and homelessness at the center of the race, and we map the exact turnout math a challenger needs to overcome a deep registration gap. If performance has slipped across eight years, do voters choose change—or send a national message that drowns out local reality? We also unpack a heated national debate: U.S. forces targeting Venezuelan drug bo...

2025/12/04

A viral hoodie prank forces a real debate on compassion, addiction, and public safety while AI memes reshape campaign tactics in real time. We also break down Minnesota’s fraud scandal and a bold plan to seed kids’ accounts with long-term, compounding benefits. • Yellow sweatshirt stunt as political gamesmanship • Candidate reactions and debate exchange on “Sweatshirt Gate” • Tough-love approach to addiction and homelessness • Personal recovery story illustrating forced treatment debates • A...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/11/30

Headlines can tilt an election long before anyone steps into a booth. We open with Albuquerque’s mayoral runoff and pull apart how a Business Improvement District is being sold as a fix-all while downtown business owners are asked to fund cleaning, security, and repairs the city already promises. When a leader says “stop looking to politicians,” that’s not empowerment—it’s abdication with a new tax. We compare the incumbent’s record on crime and homelessness to the challenger’s approach and s...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/11/23

Prices keep climbing, patience keeps thinning, and that pressure is redefining politics at every level. We open with the cost of living crunch—how 25% higher prices since 2020 and a rise in repossessions are shaping voter mood and scaring off potential contenders in New Mexico. If you run tethered to Trump, you risk moderates; if you run away from him, you risk your own base. With Latino approval shifting and filing deadlines looming, the path gets narrow fast. Then we pull back the curtain ...

No Doubt About It ·

2025/11/19

The numbers are brutal and they’re hitting New Mexico families right now: average health insurance premiums jumping more than 35%, with some silver plans spiking over 50%. We unpack why rates are soaring, how subsidy design can unintentionally reward insurers, and why middle-income families often get hammered despite “help.” From malpractice pressures to physician shortages and thin competition, we connect the policy dots that quietly decide what you pay and what care you actually get. Safet...

Two hosts, no video, and a stack of candid emails set the tone for a fast, unscripted ride through local politics, national economics, and the way message discipline can make or break a campaign. We open the mailbag to tackle donation histories, residency rules, and the hard math of winning a GOP primary in a deep-blue state. The throughline is turnout: if the base isn’t convinced you’re one of them, you won’t get to the general—no matter how many crossover voters you imagine. From there, we...

2025/11/13

A cannabis mogul says he’s almost in for New Mexico governor—and we dig into why self-funding and name recognition won’t outrun the GOP primary gauntlet. We break down the three real obstacles every outsider faces: proving you actually live where you run, explaining how you made your money when the base is skeptical, and reconciling a donor history that points across the aisle. It’s a case study in credibility, not cash. From there, we torch a viral claim that defense contractors script the ...

2025/11/09

A budget fight in Washington shouldn’t decide whether families in New Mexico can buy groceries—but that’s exactly where we are. We open with the real-world fallout of the federal shutdown: SNAP delays for roughly 460,000 New Mexicans, TSA slowdowns, and unpaid military members, all tied up in a standoff over temporary ACA subsidies that were created during COVID. We break down how those subsidies work, who actually receives them, why insurers benefit, and what reform could look like if Congre...

Midnight energy, raw numbers, and a city on edge. We sat down with strategist Jay McCleskey and fundraiser Jessica Perez as Albuquerque’s mayoral race officially headed to a runoff—Keller hovering in the mid-30s, Darren White just behind him, and a wave of voters signaling they’re ready for change on crime, homelessness, and basic accountability. We unpack why incumbents hate runoffs and how a tight, repeatable message can beat a partisan registration gap. White’s case focuses on immediate p...

Two true stories frame our Halloween special: a strange night at the Stanley Hotel with unexplained footsteps and misplaced flip-flops, and a yearlong stalking case that escalates from prank calls to an attic discovery. We share how we handled fear then and how we handle it now, with hard-won safety habits and clearer lines. • Favorite horror picks and why we outgrew them • Stanley Hotel lore and the fourth floor footsteps • The elevator flip-flops and staff reactions • Early prank calls tha...

2025/10/29

The temperature may be freezing in our studio, but the agenda is on fire. We start with the shutdown standoff and get precise about where the logjam actually sits: Senate votes, not soundbites. If you’re watching SNAP timelines or waiting on a federal paycheck, you’ll hear the plain-English version of how a continuing resolution works, who has voted which way, and why short-term fixes shouldn’t be an excuse to freeze out families who need help right now. From there, we head home to New Mexic...
