Identity Politics, Parental Rights, and the Battle for Colorado’s Future

On February 20, 2024, Kevin Lundberg, Rick Turnquist, and Rich Guggenheim joined the show. Former State Senator Kevin Lundberg exposed how Colorado’s title board has systematically blocked citizen-led parental rights initiatives while dangerous legislation threatens Second Amendment rights and energy independence Author Rick Turnquist traced identity politics to Marxist class struggle theory, explaining how Democrats use group divisions to gain political power at the. Colorado’s Title Board Blocks Parental Rights Initiatives Start listening at 17:01 – Hour 1 Kevin Lundberg, former Colorado State Senator and author of the Lundberg Report, exposed how the state’s title board has become a roadblock for citizen-led initiatives protecting parental rights. The board, comprising appointees from Secretary of State Jenna Griswold’s office, Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office, and the Legislative Council, has repeatedly rejected measures that would require schools to notify parents when their children experience gender incongruence. Lundberg described the systematic rejection of initiatives, noting that when proponents broke a comprehensive parental bill of rights into individual subjects to satisfy single-subject requirements, the board rejected two of three measures anyway. The remaining initiative, simply requiring parental notification about gender-related school interventions, faced a rehearing the following day. Hundreds of supporters had gathered through the Art Club documentary movement to collect petition signatures, but bureaucratic obstruction threatened to run out the clock before ballot qualification deadlines. The Art Club documentary, which Lundberg produced, has garnered approximately 38,000 views across platforms and was shown to the entire student body of nearly 1,000 students at Karis Bible College. The film tells the story of a family whose daughter was taken to what she thought was art club but was actually transgender indoctrination sessions. “People need to know that our title board has actually become a policy-killing board, which is not their constitutional business.” – Kevin Lundberg, Former Colorado State Senator Lundberg also addressed election integrity concerns, defending Tina Peters against prosecution for allegedly preserving election records as required by federal law. He criticized the loose voter registration system that made 300,000 inactive voters suddenly active when all-mail balloting was implemented, and automatic voter registration that requires only a name and address to register someone to vote. Legislative Assault on Second Amendment Rights Start listening at 41:55 – Hour 1 Lundberg warned about three major gun control bills advancing through the Colorado legislature. House Bill 24-1270 would require gun owners to purchase specific liability insurance for their firearms, effectively creating a registry of gun ownership. House Bill 24-1292 bans the transfer or sale of semi-automatic weapons with common features like detachable magazines or thumbhole stocks, labeling them “assault weapons.” Senate Bill 24-131 prohibits carrying firearms in virtually any public space, defining “sensitive spaces” as anywhere people gather. The absurdity of these measures, Lundberg noted, lies in their timing: as Democrats have opened the southern border allowing potentially dangerous individuals into the country, they simultaneously seek to disarm law-abiding citizens. Denver leads the nation in several crime categories, yet the legislative response is to restrict the ability of good citizens to protect themselves. Marxist Roots of Identity Politics
