BARB KIRKMEYER JOINS TO TALK THE COMPETENCY BILL We've had some pretty high profile cases lately of people being released from jail after committing crimes because they were deemed not able to stand trial. They are still dangerous, but they are out in the community. Why? A bill passed in 2024 seems to be the reason. It was HB24-1034 and you can read it here. The bill passed in bipartisan manner and now it's created a mess. We'll chat with Senator Barb Kirkmeyer about it today at 1.

DRESDEN FILES AUTHOR JIM BUTCHER TODAY AT 2:30 My son introduced me to the Dresden Files a few years ago and the series is a delight. It follows the adventures of wizard and private investigator Harry Dresden as he investigates all manner of supernatural disturbances in modern day Chicago. Yesterday while prepping for the interview I read this about how he got published and it's a fantastic tale in an of itself about perseverance winning out. He's got a new book coming out January 20th and you can pre order your copy here, and this gives you plenty of time to read the rest of the series first, amiright? The Dresden Files isn't his only series, he's also written the Codex Alera, and the Cinder Spires novels though I'm not familiar with either. I found out yesterday that Ben Allbright is a super fan of Jim's as well so he may pop in to fanboy all over him.
LET'S DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTISH TODAY We're going to talk about fun stuff and nerdy books and also do a deeper dive on black culture with two African American guests.

THE MEDIA LEARNS NOTHING FROM THE KIRK SHOOTING I get that there is a level of desperation on the Left to "both sides" the recent political violence. But when the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas broke, they got out ahead of their skis once more to declare the shooter a Neo Nazi with zero evidence to support it. My friend David Strom writes about it here and he joins me at 2:30 to talk about it. But MSNBC wasn't the only one doing it, politicians jumped out to make themselves look stupid too.
LEAR CAPITAL'S JOHN OHANESIAN JOINS ME TO TALK ABOUT GOLD'S RECENT RUN I got the chance to meet with John and not only is he super fascinating we got into a very interesting conversation about gold that I thought you'd find interesting too. Find out more about gold and Lear Capital by clicking here.
EPHRAIM DEBISA IS BACK BEHIND BARS...FOR NOW The man who has become the face of the garbage criminal justice reform bill passed by Democrats is back behind bars after showing up on University of Northern Colorado residential apartments waving a gun. Ephraim Ebisa has been arrested numerous times for violent crimes but he keeps getting let out because he's been found incompetent to stand trial. This is a Colorado created problem, as Robert Dear, the man who murdered several people and wounded more in an attack on a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood over a DECADE ago, is STILL in prison awaiting trial on federal charges. So how long with Debisa be behind bars this time? Surely he didn't just get mentally well since his last arrest. Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams, who sounded the alarm about this guy, joins me at 12:30 to discuss it.
