Do You Still Have a Private Life? Peter Boyles Takes On Colorado’s Surveillance State
The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 1: Do you still have a private life? Peter Boyles and Jon Caldara take a deep dive into the growing surveillance state—from Flock cameras and license-plate tracking to facial recognition, smartphones and the government buying personal data from private companies. The conversation gets uncomfortable as they ask whether Americans have voluntarily surrendered their privacy in exchange for convenience and safety—and whether we're already living in a surveillance state. Peter also takes on the Colorado governor's race, asking whether Victor Marx is the only viable Republican alternative to Phil Weiser, what role Greg Lopez is playing, and why a Republican candidate skipped a major debate. Callers weigh in with very different views on the candidates, Colorado's direction, and whether it's time to stay and fight or leave the state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Victor Marx, Demons & the Future of the Colorado GOP
The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 3: Peter Boyles examines the rise of Democratic Socialism in America and debates why young voters appear increasingly attracted to it, while callers compare today's political climate with earlier periods of American history and debate capitalism versus socialism. The hour also dives into the controversy surrounding Colorado Republican gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx and his claims of encountering demons and supernatural phenomena, prompting a larger discussion about the direction of the Colorado Republican Party and the GOP primary. A caller delivers the hour's most startling story, describing an alleged fentanyl exposure while interrupting a robbery in the South Metro area and the lengthy hospitalization that followed. (We have reached out to Douglas County Sheriff's Office for comment, we have received no confirmation as to the accuracy of the callers' claims at this time) Other topics include Trump and accusations that he is acting like a dictator, Greg Lopez's potential role as a spoiler, Diana DeGette's political future, and the frightening scenario of nuclear war and Colorado's potential vulnerability.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Socialism Is Surging — And Victor Marx Is Talking About Demons
The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 2: Peter Boyles examines the growing appeal of Democratic Socialism, particularly among younger Americans facing soaring costs and an economy where traditional milestones like homeownership and the value of a college degree can feel increasingly out of reach. Peter and callers debate capitalism versus socialism and whether Democratic Socialists could make significant gains in November. The conversation then turns to Colorado GOP gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx and reports that he claims to have battled reptilian demons, sparking a broader debate over the direction of the Colorado Republican Party, the influence of evangelical politics, and whether the GOP is hurting its own chances at the ballot box. The hour also features the strange story of the so-called “Castle Rock bag lady,” with Lee, a man who says he has actually seen her, joining Peter in the studio to discuss the mystery.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colorado Businesses Are Closing as Socialism Gains Ground in America
The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 1: Peter Boyles examines the growing appeal of socialism in America and asks a bigger question: What is driving people toward it? The conversation begins close to home with Karen and Robert Parker of Parker Arms in Wheat Ridge. After more than two decades in the firearms and gunsmithing business, Robert says rising costs, additional paperwork and new Colorado regulations have made continuing the business financially unsustainable. Parker Arms is liquidating its assets, and the Colorado-native couple says they are preparing for a new chapter outside the state. Their story becomes the jumping-off point for a much larger discussion about government power, capitalism, socialism and America's changing political landscape. Peter examines the recent success of candidates associated with the Democratic Socialists of America and questions whether the movement represents a passing political moment or the beginning of something much larger. The phone lines light up as callers challenge Peter from different directions. One caller argues that Americans are increasingly attracted to socialism because many no longer believe capitalism is delivering the American Dream. Peter counters with his defense of free markets and his concerns about government-planned economies. Also in the hour: Colorado politics, private property, Marxism, the DSA's electoral momentum, the future of the Republican Party and what growing economic frustration could mean at the ballot box.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He also shares remarkable stories from his political career involving Ronald Reagan, Frida Poundstone, Colorado Republicans and a furious confrontation with Karl Rove over immigration and the Bush White House. The hour closes with Tancredo taking aim at Colorado's education system, questioning claims that the state ranks No. 1 nationally and arguing that school choice and charter schools are doing more to improve education than the traditional public-school system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ward Churchill, CU & a Controversy That Still Echoes Today!
The Peter Boyles Show August 15, 2026 HOUR 1: Peter Boyles looks back at one of Colorado talk radio's most controversial chapters following the death of former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill. Dan Caplis joins Peter to remember the Churchill controversy, the investigative work surrounding it, the discovery of old audio recordings, Churchill's eventual dismissal from CU, and the political firestorm that followed. Peter raises a provocative question: Would the same controversy produce the same reaction today? But the conversation quickly becomes larger than Ward Churchill. Peter connects the battles of the past with today's political climate, the renewed appeal of socialism among younger Americans, the role of government, generational frustration and the idea that history moves through recurring periods of upheaval. During open lines, a caller introduces the concept of the Fourth Turning—the theory that generations periodically reach moments of crisis in which institutions are challenged and rebuilt. Peter considers that idea alongside earlier periods of American populism, socialism and political upheaval. As Peter puts it: “The song remains the same. History is repetitive.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

History Doesn’t Repeat? Look Again
The Peter Boyles Show August 15, 2026 HOUR 2 : Peter Boyles takes a trip through history — and asks what happens when the version we remember collides with what actually happened. Peter and longtime Denver journalist Patricia Calhoun revisit the controversy surrounding Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado, questions surrounding his academic record and the larger battle over free speech. Their conversation turns to a principle both consider fundamental: protecting the First Amendment, even when the speech itself is controversial. From George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of the Little Bighorn to disease reshaping empires and even influencing events surrounding the Louisiana Purchase, the discussion explores how dramatically our understanding of history can change when we dig beneath the familiar version of the story. The conversation eventually comes home to Denver and modern American politics, as callers and Peter debate socialism, government dependency and whether political movements we're seeing today are genuinely new — or simply another turn through an old historical cycle. As Peter puts it, the patterns have been repetitive — and they can happen again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
