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 ta...

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...

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, w...

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 th...

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 i...

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...

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 tig...

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 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...

A 911 ping leads to an Albuquerque stash house with kidnapped migrants and a ransom ledger—proof that policy signals have real-world consequences. We unpack how sanctuary rules that block ICE coordination can embolden predators, why public safety must come before political branding, and what accountability should look like at City Hall. That urgency threads into a broader reality check: Britain’s...

A single claim on a debate stage can snowball fast. We open with a charged Albuquerque mayoral moment, a televised fact-check, and a deeper question about access: when homelessness consumes a city’s attention and budget, who gets to see what’s really happening inside the shelters we fund? From there we trace how a New Mexico judge’s reading of the state constitution could collide with the U.S. Sup...

We celebrate Ella’s golden birthday, then dive into the governor’s race money surge, the Albuquerque mayor debate, and why protest energy without policy goes nowhere. Crime stats, consultant spend, immigration policy, and voter homework anchor the hour. • small-dollar donor strength versus runaway spending • digital firms and DC consultant fees draining war chests • Bregman’s respectable haul but...

Albuquerque stands at a crossroads—and the numbers don’t mince words. With crime and homelessness topping voter concerns and an incumbent polling under 30%, a runoff looks all but certain. We sit down with Darren White to parse the real levers of change: how to rebuild proactive policing, restore confidence in APD, and confront encampments with a plan that blends services and clear enforcement. No...

A union boss tried to turn a beloved New Mexico tradition into a political weapon—and we’re not having it. We unpack the “prison patch” smear aimed at McCall’s Pumpkin Patch, separate rumor from reality, and talk about what’s really at stake when activists target family businesses to score points. It’s a case study in how online outrage travels, how local news stepped in to correct it, and why com...

Chaos doesn’t just appear—it’s invited. We bring on former San Juan County Sheriff Ken Christensen to dig into how policy choices and political signals ripple into street-level realities, from cashless bail in New Mexico to nightly unrest outside ICE facilities in Portland. Ken shares why he left, what changed during his time away, and why he’s running again to restore order, support officers, and...

A quiet Albuquerque morning explodes with color as hundreds of hot air balloons drift past our backyard—and then we tackle the issues weighing our city and country back to earth. We start with the glossy claims in a high-profile mayoral ad and the real scoreboard on crime, homelessness, and empty shelter beds. From there, we explain why debate thresholds exist, how polling and fundraising shape ac...

A funding lapse in Washington sets the stage, but the real story is how power, process, and language shape outcomes—from the Senate’s 60‑vote math to a New Mexico special session that narrows what gets debated. We open by decoding the shutdown: why a seven‑week continuing resolution stalled, how polling and precedent drive the blame game, and why markets shrugged while politicians postured. Then w...

The political landscape in New Mexico is heating up with the Democratic gubernatorial race between Deb Haaland and Sam Bregman taking center stage. What started as a relatively quiet contest has evolved into a strategic battle of positioning, with Holland's team landing the first significant blow by exposing plagiarized content in Bregman's ambitious 189-page policy document. This exchan...

The dangerous intersection of inflammatory rhetoric and real-world violence takes center stage in this urgent analysis of America's deepening political divide.
