RICH GUGGENHEIM'S SPEECH WAS SILENCED AT THE CAPITOL And he's not taking this lying down. The head of the Gays Against Groomers Colorado chapter was gaveled out while making comments on a bill that would allow a convicted felon to change his name because he decided he was a woman and that is not allowed. Rich has filed a lawsuit which you can read about here, and he joins me at 12:30 today to discuss.

THE BLONDE BOMBERS ARE READY TO RACE! This year in honor of World Pilots’ Day (4/26), aviation-themed brewery FlyteCo Tower and Denver’s Blonde Bombers all-women flying team are joining forces to raise funds for Alaina Bravo with Blonde Bombers and FlyteCo Founder and pilot Eric Serani! In 2019, two pilots decided to get grounded and open FlyteCo Brewing, followed by their second location in a defunct airport tower. They support a TON of initiatives that work to create a better, more equitable aviation industry, including many scholarships to those who are low income, women, those moving from military life to commercial pilot life, and others that are underrepresented in the pilot industry to receive their pricey pilot license. Today I am joined by Alaina Bravo with Blonde Bombers and FlyteCo Founder and pilot Eric Serani to talk about the Tower Tours being offered in support of an across country air race for women. Find out more about that here.

THE MASTER'S APPRENTICE IS HELPING KIDS GET INTO CONSTRUCTION The Master's Apprentice, which recently received nearly $1 million from the Lowe's Foundation, is on today. That very generous grant to help disadvantaged young adults find a career in the construction trades is helping the program grow. The organization was founded by Coloradans Luis Villarreal and Scott Flores more than a decade ago. There is an acute skilled trades workforce crisis in the US, with the Associated Builders and Contractors estimating that 501,000 new skilled tradespeople will be needed on top of the normal pace of hiring to meet demand this year alone. Scott Flores joins me today at 12:30 to chat about it. Find out more by clicking here.

DEBORAH FLORA IS ON To discuss why she is taking a pass on the caucus as she's already made the ballot via petitions. We're also going to talk about the polling here which shows Democrat Ike McCorkle beating Lauren Boebert head to head. He lost handily to Ken Buck last time, so this is a big deal.

COULD WE SOON BE A SUPER DEMOCRACY? Our Futurist Thomas Frey has written an interesting paper about what the future of governance might look like if we lean into technology and an super informed citizenry. He has more faith in humans than I do here, and I'm going to poke some holes in his plan by pointing out the failures of human nature in this system. Read the paper here and Thomas joins me at 1. Find Thomas to speak at your event or work on your industry by clicking here.

STRAIGHT MEMBERS OF THE COLORADO LEGISLATURE WANT TO IGNORE GAY HISTORY In the push to allow felons who declare they are transgender to legally change their names (thus allowing them to deny their criminal past) Gays Against Groomer's Rich Guggenheim went to testify at the Legislature against the bill. Here is his testimony:My name is Dr. Rich Guggenheim. I am a homosexual resident of Denver. I would like to take a moment of your time to share with you a prominent piece of the gay and lesbian liberation movement from Stonewall.I want to tell you about the history of Malcom Michaels Jr., and Tony Rivera. Both were gay, black men, sex workers, drag queens, and convicted felons. Both were well known in the gay community in the 1960s and 70s. Malcom may be more familiar to you by his drag name, Marsha P. Johnson and is falsely identified today as a transgender woman. Malcom was frequently seen with Tony Rivera, who went by the drag name Sylvia.Both were heavy cocaine users. In fact, the false narrative today is t

CANADA LOVES KILLING ITS CITIZENS And their euphemistically named MAID program (Medical Assistance in Dying) is a roaring success if you think over 45,000 dead Canadians is a success.
