Trust is the Currency of the Future

On July 11, 2024, Ramey Johnson, Gianna Miceli, Karen Levine, and Pam Long joined the show. Described economic deterioration on Colfax Boulevard, discussed contrast with opponent’s sanctuary city stance, and emphasized her campaign focus on wisdom, courage, and hope Celebrated Chevron and Jarkesy decisions curbing bureaucratic power, explained her constitutional living approach without government licenses, and discussed Seventh Amendment common law jury rights Reported record inventory. Restoring Common Sense to Colorado Politics Start listening at 17:19 – Hour 1 Ramey Johnson, Republican candidate for Colorado House District 30, paints a sobering picture of economic deterioration along Colfax Boulevard. Fifty-five percent of businesses have shuttered, she reports, while property taxes cascade through to crushing commercial rents. One businessman broke down in tears describing how a California bus dropped off a migrant demanding the job he was promised. Johnson contrasts her vision with her opponent, a city councilor who wore butterfly pins signaling support for sanctuary policies before any vote was cast. The district stretches from Sheridan to Kipling, Edgewater to Yale Avenue, and Johnson emphasizes her campaign runs on wisdom, courage, and hope rather than party affiliation. “People don’t care what party I’m in.

Things have to follow the Constitution because of the supremacy clause.” Gianna Miceli, Author and Constitutional Educator Colorado Real Estate Shows Signs of Balance Start listening at 63:42 – Hour 2 Karen Levine, RE/MAX Realtor, reports encouraging inventory growth across the Denver metro area. Active listings have topped 10,000 across eleven counties for the first time in over a decade, creating genuine choice for buyers despite elevated interest rates. Price reductions of $1,500 to $2,000 weekly signal a market adjusting toward affordability. Yet Levine warns that policies favoring large subsidized apartment complexes over single-family home ownership threaten the middle-class wealth-building that defines the American Dream. Denver’s proposed half-cent sales tax for affordable housing would paradoxically hurt those trying to climb the economic ladder most....
