The Rock of Talk

Gregg Hull has a viable but narrow path to winning the New Mexico gubernatorial general election by fully consolidating the GOP base, capturing 50–60% of Bregman’s voters, dominating rural and suburban swing counties, and strategically abandoning deep-blue counties rather than wasting resources competing there. Key Points Gregg Hull won the GOP gubernatorial primary by exactly 10 points (47% vs. 3...

Key Points 1. Proven Leadership as a Model: Rio Rancho's growth in population, job creation, public safety, and fiscal discipline under Hull’s tenure is presented as a replicable model for statewide success. 2. Economic Growth and Public Safety: A core belief is that economic growth and public safety are intrinsically linked. A safe community attracts residents and investment, which in turn helps...

Viewpoints 1. Rationale for Gubernatorial Candidacy and Background - Stagnation in key issues: Turner is running due to persistent failures in New Mexico, citing a decade-plus without improvement in education (historically ranked near 50th) and a heavy tax burden. He seeks a better future for his children and believes passionate citizens must act to halt decline. - Personal commitment: A single fa...

Albuquerque has been rocked by a week of violence, and one case towers over the rest: the ambush murder of 23‑year‑old Eden Rock behind the Frontier Restaurant, right across from UNM. Police say Rock was lured out of Frontier by a woman, then attacked in an alley where four men were lying in wait. Detectives used surveillance video and license plate readers to track a gray Jeep to Lobo Village, ul...

JD Vance’s debut behind the White House podium shows just how risky his new role as “explainer-in-chief” really is. He’s the one sent out to smooth over President Trump’s blunt comments on Iran and the economy, trying to translate MAGA populism for swing voters without losing credibility with the base. Marco Rubio’s earlier briefing painted a very different picture. He looked every bit the foreign...

Tonight’s multi-state primaries are shaping up to be a defining moment for the Republican Party — and a real-time test of Donald Trump’s political influence. In Georgia, with no Trump endorsement, a competitive three-way Senate race suggests voters are making independent decisions, likely headed for a runoff. Meanwhile in Alabama, Trump-backed candidates are facing stronger-than-expected challenge...

The battle for the House isn’t just about votes anymore—it’s about maps. Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans could gain up to eight seats just from redistricting. And suddenly, Democrats are calling foul. But let’s be clear: this isn’t new. For years, Democrats mastered the art of drawing favorable districts in states like New York and Illinois. Now Republicans are playing by the same rules—and...

For years, Cuba and Venezuela have been living, breathing warnings about what happens when socialism and strongmen take over a country. These regimes have crushed free markets, jailed opponents, and turned once‑rich nations into cautionary tales. And they’ve done it while cozying up to America’s biggest rivals, from Moscow to Beijing and beyond. But here’s the key point: defending U.S. interests i...

Goldman Sachs is facing serious questions after reports it hired a reputation management firm to bury online links between its top lawyer and Jeffrey Epstein. Instead of transparency, the strategy allegedly focused on flooding search results with positive content to push damaging information out of view. The issue isn’t just one executive’s past—it’s how powerful institutions manage the truth. New...

A federal immigration agent is now facing serious criminal charges in Minnesota following a shooting during a large-scale enforcement operation earlier this year. Prosecutors allege Agent Christian Castro fired through a residential door without a clear threat, injuring one man and endangering others inside. He now faces multiple assault charges. Now, if those facts hold up, accountability matters...

The Department of Justice is creating a $1.776 billion “Truth and Justice Commission” to compensate people who say they were politically targeted under the Biden administration, as President Trump drops his $10 billion lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns. The money comes from the Treasury’s Judgment Fund, so it doesn’t require new congressional approval, and the commission will have broad pow...

Doug Turner is a lifelong Republican who believes New Mexico is being held back by big government, one-party control, and leaders who have lost sight of who government is meant to serve. He is running for Governor to put New Mexico families first, restore accountability, and prove that conservative leadership delivers real results. Raised in Old Town Albuquerque, Doug attended Albuquerque public...

I’m Duke Rodriguez, and I’m honored you’ve stopped by to learn a little bit about me and my passion for New Mexico. Politicians spend far too much time talking about themselves and far too little time getting things done, so I’ll try to keep it brief. I was born to a mother on Medicaid and parents who worked in farm fields. In 1971, my Father sent my Mother, my siblings, and I to Silver City, New...

This upcoming Tuesday will mark the beginning of oral arguments for Rep. Rebecca Dow’s case in the New Mexico Supreme Court. This argument is very simple: we are fighting for the voting rights of constituents in Doña Ana, Sierra, and Socorro counties as Democrats are trying to remove her from the ballot on a technicality. “What Democrats are doing to Rebecca is shameless,” said Chairwoman Amy Bare...

The FBI Director. A bombshell magazine article. And a quarter-billion-dollar lawsuit. The Atlantic published a report claiming FBI Director Kash Patel was drinking heavily, showing up erratically, and going missing from his post. More than two dozen unnamed sources. Serious allegations. Patel's response? See you in court. Now, 250 million dollars is on the line — and so is something bigger. The fu...

In this interview, Valencia County GOP chair John Brenna argues that the former New Mexico Republican Party chair automatically vacated her position on March 10 by filing to run in a contested Otero County Commission race, triggering a mandatory “shall step down” rule and violating a ban on endorsements. He rejects claims that filing earlier in the day conferred incumbent status, stressing that fi...

In 1792… George Washington did something no president had ever done before. He said no. Congress sent him a bill to carve up political representation — and Washington sent it right back. Because in this republic, the lines have to be drawn fairly. For everyone. Fast forward to today — and those lines are being redrawn again. In Texas. In California. In North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, and Virginia....

It started with a red hat. Forty dollars. Four letters. And somehow — it changed everything. MAGA merchandise isn’t just clothing anymore. It’s a billion-dollar industry. It’s $140 million in Amazon sales in a single six-month stretch. It’s nearly a million hats sold — and counting. It’s flags, sneakers, charcuterie boards, and freedom ties. It’s a movement you can wear. But here’s the bigger stor...

Tonight, we’re exploring one of the most surprising trends in modern life — people walking away from their smartphones. No more endless scrolling. No more 3 AM notification spirals. No more dopamine loops designed to keep you hoo...

Pakistan pulled off the impossible. The U.S. and Iran — ceasefire. The world exhaled. And then, within hours… Israel launched a hundred airstrikes on Lebanon. Two hundred and fifty people. Ten minutes. Tonight at five-oh-five, on The KIVA, AM 1600, we’re asking the question nobody in Washington wants to answer: What does a ceasefire actually mean — when only one side respects it? We’ll break down...

It’s HERE. The greatest stretch in American sports history is happening RIGHT NOW. At Augusta National — the azaleas are blooming, the legends are walking, and somewhere on those hallowed fairways, a green jacket is waiting to be won. March Madness just proved — AGAIN — that anybody can be a champion. One bracket. One buzzer-beater. One kid from a school nobody’s ever heard of — becoming a legend...

We step into a world where the human voice soars without a microphone, where stories play out in pure sound and emotion. Opera. Conductor Anthony Barrese of Opera Southwest joins us to reveal the athletic artistry behind unamplified singing, the unseen leadership of the silent conductor, and the challenges of bringing centuries‑old music into the modern era. We’ll demystify opera’s reputation—disc...

Meet Sandra. She works full time. She pays her taxes. She does everything right — and twice a week, she drives to a clinic and sells her blood plasma to cover her electric bill. Sandra isn’t alone. Millions of working Americans are doing the same thing right now, while Wall Street celebrates record highs and another billionaire makes the news for buying a yacht the size of a city block. Inflation...
