But it's not just about the paperwork – it's about the principle. Josiah and his team are fighting against what they see as an overreach of government power.

    The Right Side of Hollywood: The Social Reckoning, Jimmy Kimmel's divergent takes on Graham Platner, Spencer Pratt

    This week on The Right Side of Hollywood, Christian Toto and Deborah Flora dive into the latest trailer for The Social Reckoning, a sequel to the 2010 film The Social Network. But it's not just about the movie - it's about the state of free speech in America and how the left's war on free speech is taking a toll on our culture. Christian points out that the trailer makes Mark Zuckerberg the enemy, with a quote that's meant to be a "boo hiss" moment, but instead feels like a laughable attempt to villainize the Facebook CEO. The conversation also touches on the upcoming midterms and how the timing of the movie's release is no accident. Christian notes that Aaron Sorkin, the film's writer, is a left-leaning individual who wants to move the needle on the issue of free speech. But will the film explore the dangers of Facebook censorious conduct leading up to the 2020 election? Probably not. Ryan, Deborah, and Christian also discuss the importance of free speech and how it's essential for a healthy democracy. In other news, Christian's article about Jimmy Kimmel's attack on Spencer Pratt bears more discussion, and Deborah discusses the comedian's tone-deaf response to the reality star's loss of his home in the Palisades fire.

    In a shocking turn of events, the US Department of Education has opened a federal investigation into Cherry Creek Schools over alleged racial discrimination.

Gimelshteyn shares her personal experience as a parent in the district, where her children were taught that America was founded on white supremacy. She discusses the district's professional development program, which requires teachers to see themselves as representatives of either oppressors or oppressed based on their skin color.

Gimelshteyn emphasizes the importance of celebrating America's founding principles and the need to stop the district's divisive practices.

    Molly Lamar on Cherry Creek Schools continuing free fall from grace; Manny Rutinel not ready for primetime

    Cherry Creek Schools is facing yet another federal investigation, this time over allegations of racial discrimination. The US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is looking into claims that the district sponsors clubs that exclude students based on race, requires teachers to consider race when assigning classes, and provides differing levels of academic support based on race. This is not the first time the district has been under scrutiny, having previously faced an investigation by the Colorado Department of Education for failing to provide interpreters for deaf and hard of hearing students. The investigation has sparked concerns among parents and community members, who are calling for a thorough search for a new superintendent and a focus on academic achievement. The district has been plagued by executive shakeups, hidden records, and sudden departures, leading to a systemic breakdown at the top. A parent committee, the Voices of Color Committee, has been accused of granting preferential treatment to students based on their race, while a teacher training program has been criticized for promoting a divisive curriculum. Molly Lamar, a concerned parent and advocate, joins the show to discuss the situation and share her personal experiences with the district. She expresses frustration with the district's handling of the investigation and the lack of transparency in their response. The district's spokesperson has denied the characterization of their programming, but the investigation is ongoing. Also, Democrat Manny Rutinel is trying to distance himself from far left political stances he took not long ago as a coastal liberal elite Yale law student against oil and gas, as well as farmers and ranchers - two key constituencies he must win over in order to defeat Congressman Gabe Evans (R) this November, should Rutinel be able to defeat Shannon Bird in the 8th District primary.

    The Right Side of Hollywood: Victor Marx lampooned on The Daily Show

    This week on the Right Side of Hollywood, Christian Toto and Ryan are sans Deborah Flora and dive into the world of entertainment and politics, tackling some of the most absurd and hilarious moments in recent news. From a gubernatorial candidate's wild claims to a comedian's scathing critique of that same politician, this episode is not to be missed. Christian and Ryan discuss the latest installment of the Scary Movie franchise, which Toto laments falls flat. Power Ballad, starring Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas, draws a warmer review from Christian, but still misses a beat where it had a chance to deliver as an elite film, directed by John Carney. They also talk about the gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx, who's making waves with his outlandish claims, including performing exorcisms and disarming guns with ease. But is he for real, or just a parody of a politician? Our two RSOH hosts laugh along as The Daily Show's Desi Lydic breaks down the absurdity of it all. One Fool of the Week nominee, Rep. Ro Khanna, distorts the record on the January 2025 fires in California which are still impacting the Los Angeles mayor's race and the blame game that's been played. Christian shares his thoughts on the matter, as he and Ryan discuss the role of politicians in the response to the disaster.  FOTW nominees: Victor Marx, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Sen.

    The (Not-So) Great Debate: Sen. Michael Bennet vs. Phil Weiser

    This episode of the podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in Colorado politics. Ryan focuses on the 9 News Democratic gubernatorial debate between Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser, with both candidates presenting their nebulous visions for the state's future. But beneath the surface, there's a deeper issue at play - the question of who's really in charge in Colorado, and what's driving the state's economic woes. The discussion touches on some of the most pressing issues facing Colorado, from the high cost of living to the state's struggling economy. Senator Bennet argues that the state needs to address the housing crisis, reduce the cost of childcare, and improve the healthcare system. But his opponent, Phil Weiser, claims that Bennet is not in tune with the priorities of everyday Coloradans, while the Attorney General has toured all 64 counties in the state. The conversation gets heated as the two politicians exchange blows, with Weiser accusing Bennet of being out of touch with the state's voters. But Ryan contends it's eight years of flawed policies under single party Democrat rule that's driving the state's economic woes. And more of the same isn't going to fix the very problems the Democrats have created. If you're interested in understanding the intricacies of Colorado politics, this episode is a must-listen.

    Californicated: Election Day should mean exactly THAT

    This episode of the podcast is a wake-up call for anyone concerned about the integrity of our elections. Ryan is sounding the alarm on the issues plaguing California's voting system, where it's taking an astonishing seven to eight days to count votes in some areas. This is a stark contrast to other states like Florida, where results are known within a couple of hours. Ryan highlights the problems with California's system, where voters don't need to show ID, and the state's reliance on machines that can be prone to errors. They compare this to Florida, which has implemented election reform laws after the infamous "hanging chads" debacle in the 2000 election. Ryan argues that this lack of transparency and accountability is a recipe for disaster, allowing for potential voter fraud and manipulation. The conversation also touches on the importance of knowing the results on election night, rather than waiting for days or weeks to find out who won. Ryan uses a sports analogy to illustrate the point, comparing it to a game where the score is known, but the final result is delayed. They emphasize the need for a more efficient and transparent system, where every vote counts and is counted accurately. Bottom line: Congress needs to pass the SAVE America Act. If you're concerned about the integrity of our elections and want to learn more about the issues plaguing California's voting system, tune in to this episode to hear Rya's passionate argument for change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
