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...

Episode 247: Why Voters Reelect Leaders They Doubt: Polarization, Polls, And Power
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...

Episode 246: Voters Chose Teams Over Results, And The Math Made The Rest Inevitable
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...

Episode 245: Leaked Polls, A Nervous Incumbent, And What The Mayor’s Race Signals For 2026
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...

Episode 244: Yellow Sweatshirt Politics In Albuquerque
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...

Episode 243: Solve Your Own Crime, Losers? Yeah, About That
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...

Episode 242: Why Is No One Running In New Mexico? How The Economy Shapes New Mexico’s 2026 Races
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 ...

Episode 241: How Skyrocketing Insurance, Rising Crime, And Social Media Pressures Are Reshaping Life In New Mexico
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.

Episode 240: Why Trump’s Team Is Pivoting On Prices And What It Means For Your Wallet
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...

Episode 239: Cannabis King To Meet The GOP Gauntlet. It Won't Go Well!
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 ...

Episode 238: Shutdowns, SNAP, And The Filibuster Fight In New Mexico
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...

Episode 237: How A Shoestring Campaign Forced A Runoff And What It Signals For Albuquerque’s Future
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...

Halloween Special: A Stalker Story You Have To Hear To Believe
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...

Episode 236: Turn On The Heat, Mark: Also Maybe The Government
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...

Episode 235: Inside Albuquerque’s Stash House Scandal, Energy Reality, And A Tariff Firestorm
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 step back from rapid net zero plans exposes hard limits on intermittent power, rising grid costs,...

Episode 234: NM Judge DEFIES Supreme Court – Homeless Ruling SPARKS CHAOS
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. Supreme Court’s Grants Pass ruling, reshaping encampment enforcement, due process, and the daily lif...

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 heavy overhead • Hull’s fundraising gap and missed momentum • Keller’s tech-and-civilians pitch ...

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 buzzwords, no techno-fixes-as-substitutes—just the tradeoffs, timelines, and leadership choices ...

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 communities should back builders over destroyers. From there, we head into the Albuquerque mayoral ...

Episode 230: From cashless bail to community safety: Sheriff Ken Christensen on crime policy, Portland unrest, and rebuilding trust in law enforcement
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 make communities feel safe walking to the grocery store.
