It’s Election Day, and the machines are already failing. Every ballot scanner in Westchester County, New York, went down the moment polls opened, leaving voters’ ballots stuffed in orange emergency bags in the middle of one of the closest House races in the country. Joe breaks down what happened, who makes the machines, and why it matters. Then we hear from independent voters across New Hampshire, Texas and Michigan, look at what’s coming out of college campuses, take on Kyle Clark’s coverage of Colorado’s Amendments 134 and 135, and bring you a major update in the Brian Cole Jr. pipe bomb case, where the defense says the FBI has been sitting on a complete forensic copy of a former Capitol Police officer’s iPhone. Then attorney David Willson joins the show. A retired Army JAG, former special assistant U.S. attorney and 2026 candidate for Colorado Attorney General, Willson testified this spring for HJR26-1029, the resolution calling for an outside federal investigation into alleged misconduct in Colorado government, including the judicial branch. A House committee killed it 8-3. We ask him why. Plus, two new documents from former judicial discipline chief Christopher Gregory: an email sent to every Colorado lawmaker and the governor calling for impeachment proceedings against Judge Leroy Kirby, and a records request demanding the signed audit letters from the Governor’s office, the Attorney General, the Secretary of State and the Judicial Department going back to 2018. We close it out with the moments that tell you everything about where the country is right now: a voter who didn’t expect a Trump supporter to overhear her take on the Electoral College, Florida liberals weighing in on Christianity versus Islam, and an AI glimpse of an America with no Republicans. Don’t miss it.

On the eve of Election Day, Joe breaks down the races and moments shaping the final hours of the 2026 midterms. In Michigan, a stunning cross-party moment as Democrat Haley Stevens appears alongside Republican Mike Rogers, while Abdul El-Sayed faces mounting scrutiny over his comments on locker room policy and sharp criticism from Black voters. In Arizona, two Maricopa County vote centers close over “power related issues,” reviving memories of the county’s 2022 Election Day breakdowns. Plus, JD Vance makes his case for who America belongs to. Then, Lori Gimelshteyn, Executive Director of the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, joins the show to talk about the Protect Kids Colorado ballot measures: Proposition 133 on child sex trafficking, Proposition 134 on girls’ sports, and Proposition 135 on gender-related surgeries for minors. We look at Rep. Brittany Pettersen’s opposition and dig into CU Boulder’s new Colorado Political Climate Survey, which shows Proposition 134 at 55% support among likely voters and Proposition 135 between 54% and 63%, depending on how the question is worded. Finally, we take on Amendment 81 and the fight over law enforcement cooperation with ICE, then open the Gregory documents. Christopher Gregory, the former head of Colorado’s judicial discipline commission, has filed a complaint targeting every judge on this year’s retention ballot. At its center: a commission report describing a judge’s sexual relationship with a court staffer that continued inside the courthouse, a judge Gregory identifies as Adams County Judge LeRoy Kirby, and a 2024 letter that warned the state to check judges’ discipline records before voters ever weighed in. Who knew, when did they know, and why weren’t voters told?

Joe is out today, so Patrick takes the controls, and he opens with a hard look at what Western civilization built, from Roman engineering and self-government to the stand against Persia. Then the fight comes home to Colorado. Supporters of Proposition 133 say child sex traffickers in this state can serve as little as eight years with parole eligibility, and the measure would make it a Class 1 felony carrying life without parole. Ben Bergquam shares new footage from Denver of two men he says had child sex crime convictions and ICE detainers, and were released anyway under Colorado’s sanctuary policies. From there, Patrick follows the story to New York, where a new report says Democratic district attorneys downgraded charges against illegal immigrants to help them avoid deportation, and Letitia James struggles to answer questions about it. He breaks down the CAIR-endorsed campaign of Illinois Democrat Nabeela Syed, Elon Musk’s warning about what a Democratic sweep in 2028 could mean, and projections showing how dramatically America’s demographics are expected to change by the end of the century. Finally, Patrick returns to the Christopher Gregory documents. Colorado’s own judicial discipline commission described a judge whose sexual relationship with a court employee continued inside the courthouse. The employee was reassigned, and the judge got a secret censure. Gregory identifies him as Adams County Judge Leroy Kirby, then-chair of the very commission that disciplines judges, and says voters re-elected him in 2024 without ever knowing. Gregory names more than 60 officials he says kept it quiet, including Phil Weiser. Ballots are due Tuesday. Don’t vote blind.

Two undercover journalists walked into a polling place to test how easily someone could vote under another person’s identity. Now they’re facing felony charges. James O’Keefe and Cam Higby are charged with unlawful voting and identity theft, even though, Joe notes, neither of them actually cast a ballot. Joe breaks down the footage, the charges, and what the case says about who gets prosecuted in America’s elections. Plus, Patrick Byrne says a judge has thrown out Dominion executive Eric Coomer’s libel case against him on summary judgment. Then pastor, author and BOND founder Jesse Lee Peterson joins the show. Peterson has spent more than three decades telling America that rebuilding the family starts with rebuilding the man. With girls losing their spots to male athletes, young people embracing socialism, and anger boiling over five days before the election, he takes on fatherhood, faith, and why no one should let anyone else control them. Finally, Joe returns to the documents. Colorado votes for governor in five days, and the Democratic nominee is Attorney General Phil Weiser. A contract signed by Weiser’s own deputy shows his office paid for, and oversaw, the outside lawyer hired to advise the state ethics commission on complaints against Weiser’s own staff. And the firm that got the job has deep ties to the scandal: it employs the attorney who defended former Chief Justice Nathan Coats, a former Weiser deputy, and a lawyer named in Christopher Gregory’s federal lawsuit. Joe asks the question no one at the Capitol will: who guards the guards?

Joe is out today, so Patrick takes the controls, and he isn’t easing in. Europe is on fire. President Trump shares a before-and-after look at France following mass migration, masked far-left mobs riot in Spain to shut down a conservative journalist, and Patrick asks why European leaders keep blaming the “cost of living.” Back home, Gavin Newsom says the DSA’s demand for bold change will dominate, University of Michigan students can’t define socialism, and Patrick explains how communism grew out of it. Then the gut punch: a Princeton and Northwestern study of 1,779 policy issues found that average Americans have near-zero independent influence on federal policy, while elites and business groups get their way. Then Patrick turns to the fights over America’s kids. A male player scores 29 points to lead a San Francisco girls’ basketball team to a 59–33 win. Both WNBA Finals teams walk off the court for the national anthem for the fourth straight game. And Colorado voters weigh Props 133, 134 and 135 on child trafficking, women’s sports, and surgeries on minors. Meanwhile, Cherry Creek, Colorado’s fourth-largest school district, faces a new federal civil rights complaint over an “Educators of Color” pledge written into its teachers’ union contract. Finally, Patrick opens a sworn court filing from Colorado’s former judicial discipline director. It alleges decades of protected judges and buried misconduct, including a 2007 investigation into a former Denver judge’s laptop that allegedly faced interference from the top, and judges who kept their seats after secret censures. It also raises hard questions for Attorney General Phil Weiser about $4 million in taxpayer-funded NDAs and a misconduct memo hidden from the State Auditor. Ballots are due November 3. Don’t vote blind.

Three minutes before the polls closed in Brazil, the rules changed. Now Trump is calling it “another rigged election,” and Eduardo Bolsonaro says he warned everyone exactly how it would go. Joe digs into the questions critics are asking about A-WEB, a global election network spanning more than 100 countries, and its ties to USAID and Smartmatic. With America’s own election just one week away, he asks the question that matters most: has anything in our system actually changed? Then Jake Lang joins the show. He’s the pardoned January 6 defendant who spent four years behind bars and is now leading street “crusades” from Minneapolis to Dearborn. Fresh off a violent confrontation at a Minneapolis mosque and a face-off at the Obama and Abdul El-Sayed rally in Detroit, Lang takes on mass immigration, his “remigration” movement, and the fights that keep landing him in the headlines. You’ll want to hear how he answers the hard questions. Finally, Joe turns to his own backyard: the degradation of Denver. A homeless man admits he has overdosed after receiving “harm reduction” supplies. Drug paraphernalia litters a park right next to an elementary school. Meanwhile, the DA weighs “collateral consequences,” and Denver’s own health board opposes a ballot measure that would toughen fentanyl penalties. Businesses are closing, families are leaving, and nobody is being held accountable. Don’t miss it.

Colorado’s most powerful Democrats went on national television, and Joe has the tape. On 60 Minutes, Secretary of State Jena Griswold accused Tina Peters of attacking elections “from within,” Gov. Jared Polis talked about the commutation he granted under pressure from the president, Attorney General Phil Weiser accused the Trump administration of withholding wildfire aid as punishment, and former Arapahoe County clerk Matt Crane claimed the president can “spread disinformation” faster than officials can spread the truth. Joe breaks down what they said, and what they left out. Then energy analyst and former Valero refinery specialist Mike Ariza joins the show as diesel hits record highs and California pays $8.50 a gallon. With major California refineries shutting down, Mike warns that once a plant that complex goes cold, almost nobody can bring it back. He explains how diesel drives up the price of everything at your grocery store, why Arizona and Nevada are next in line, what it means that America is buying diesel from Russia, and what Washington should do before winter. Finally, the “free and fair” system under the microscope: hidden camera footage of an Abdul El-Sayed campaign staffer, Zohran Mamdani telling New Yorkers they don’t need to bring anything to vote, and a report that Fani Willis’ voter registration moved to New York City. Then Joe opens a brand-new Christopher Gregory lawsuit revealing that dozens of Colorado judges were reported for failing to file legally required financial disclosures, every case was handled quietly, and 15 of them are on your ballot right now. Ballots are due November 3. Don’t vote blind.

With Joe out today, Patrick takes the host’s chair, and he’s bringing a story he knows from the inside. Patrick spent nearly 20 years as an educator and worked for the Cherry Creek School District before he was let go weeks after saying, in a mandatory equity training, that he loves his country. Today he opens with a family demanding answers: a student's family says the district acknowledged it had no safety plan in place for her, even though, according to the attorney, district representations under oath told a different story. Patrick asks the questions the district hasn’t answered, and looks at the legal office overseeing it all as Cherry Creek faces two active federal lawsuits. Then Patrick walks through the district’s own court filings. In one lawsuit, a 14-year-old Asian student alleges she was suspended for two months over a video she didn’t speak in, while the students who made it go viral faced no discipline, with administrators allegedly citing the “whiteness of the school” and the “race card.” In Patrick’s own case, now before the Tenth Circuit, he reads directly from the district’s motion to dismiss, in which its lawyers argued that school districts “may censor speech and/or compel it” and that his refusal to call America systemically racist “ran afoul of the District’s legitimate interests.” You’ll hear it in the district’s own words. Finally, the show turns to Colorado’s courts, where a judge accused of a conflict in Christopher Gregory’s case ruled on his own recusal and said no without a word of explanation. With ballots due November 3, the Denver Gazette editorial board is urging voters to reject retention for Justice William Hood and Judge Grant Sullivan over their ties to the judicial scandal, and Patrick breaks down the Masias Memo, the document that started it all. From the classroom to the courtroom, it’s a look at institutions that have stopped answering to the people they serve.

Federal, state, local, Democrat, Republican: the corruption looks the same everywhere. Joe opens with Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement that Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas has been arrested and indicted alongside six others, including family members, on charges of running a marijuana trafficking and money laundering enterprise. Then it’s on to the bench, where a federal judge in Oakland restricted DHS election investigations in nine states just thirteen days before the midterms, and a new audit of all 58 foreign-born federal judges reveals the real driver behind rulings against border enforcement: not where these judges were born, but the activist pipelines that put them there. Then Dallas developer Tim Barton joins the show. Federal regulators seized his 30-year real estate empire and a court-appointed receiver began selling it off years before any jury heard his case, and now, with his assets drained and the Supreme Court refusing to step in, he’s heading toward a criminal trial in April 2027. Joe asks the hard questions: who’s profiting from the receivership, what really happened with his former partner Michael Fu, and if the SEC can do this to him, who’s next? Finally, Rep. Thomas Massie demands answers from the FBI after new CCTV footage appears to exonerate J6 pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr., Ilhan Omar answers “not to my knowledge” when asked if she married her brother as a federal search warrant names her under a different identity, and a brand-new Christopher Gregory filing reveals the judge he asked to step aside ruled on his own conflict, and said no without a word of explanation. Justice denied, and you won’t want to miss a minute.

When the people sworn to police the courts start protecting their own, who’s left to blow the whistle? Joe opens with the story the mainstream media refuses to touch: Christopher Gregory, the watchdog who won the first-ever discipline of a Colorado chief justice, filed 46 protection order petitions against the state’s most powerful officials, only to watch the entire Boulder bench recuse and his case get tossed on a technicality. Now a nearly identical scandal has toppled New Hampshire’s chief justice, where four justices signed a statement that turned out to be false. Republican appointees in one state, Democratic appointees in the other. Corruption doesn’t care about party lines, and neither do we. Then, with the midterms just two weeks away, trial attorney Peter Ticktin, Trump’s former military academy classmate and lawyer for Tina Peters, joins the show. He’s been urging the President to declare an election emergency, and Joe puts the tough questions to him directly: what’s the legal basis, where’s the evidence, and what should conservatives do on Election Day if no emergency comes? Finally, a Michigan Senate candidate claims the Second Amendment was written for muskets, Europe erupts as more than half a million protesters flood French streets and shopkeepers in Italy and France take matters into their own hands against looters, and Ilhan Omar turns to TikTok asking for donations days after federal agents raided her home in a criminal immigration fraud investigation. It’s courts, chaos, and cash grabs, and you won’t want to miss a minute.

The media wants you to believe the system is fine, but today’s episode pulls back the curtain on the institutional rot running deep through both our elections and our courtrooms. Joe kicks things off with The Democracy Files, Part 2, breaking down the line between government authority and systemic illegitimacy, backed by alarming eyewitness accounts of voting machine manipulation right here in the Heartland. The mainstream media continues to run interference, but we are laying out the undeniable receipts showing how legacy newsrooms deliberately bury explosive corruption stories to protect established political figures. Joining the show today is a powerhouse lineup of grassroots leaders and legal fighters taking the battle directly to the establishment. Election integrity strategist Juan O’Savin breaks down the real threats facing upcoming midterm elections, detailing executive authority, voting machine vulnerabilities, and the urgent push for hand-counted paper ballots. Then, Lori Gimelshteyn, Executive Director of the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN), dives into the fight for parental rights and exposes where Attorney General Phil Weiser stands on critical statewide ballot initiatives—including Propositions 133, 134, and 135. Tune in, get the facts, and stand up for the truth!

In this explosive episode, Joe blows the lid off a quiet media blackout and pulls back the curtain on one of the most damning political cover-ups in state history. Armed with explosive new revelations and paper trails that the mainstream establishment refuses to touch, Joe traces how deep the rot truly goes—from the high-stakes battle over Capitol CCTV footage to a systemic failure within federal and state law enforcement. As political elites attempt to control the narrative and downplay mounting evidence of misconduct, Joe exposes the strategic silence designed to keep the public in the dark. At the center of the storm is the Christopher Gregory files—a series of detailed emails, memos, and court documents exposing a massive scandal reaching the highest echelons of Colorado’s judicial and political leadership. We dive line-by-line into the paper trail Gregory repeatedly presented to major news outlets, detailing allegations of illegal nondisclosure agreements, state court administrator payouts, hidden misconduct contracts, and federal felony cover-ups involving high-profile political figures. Despite clear evidence of unchecked corruption and millions in taxpayer funds weaponized to buy silence, legacy media moderators actively ignored the facts ahead of major gubernatorial debates. Beyond local corruption, the show takes a global look at the breaking points of modern governance, drawing clear parallels to the rising chaos and civil unrest tearing through France. From stolen elections and Marxist-influenced institutions to unchecked borders and explosive street riots, we dissect the perfect storm driving societal collapse at home and abroad. Tune in as Joe confronts the cartel's mouthpiece, hold corporate journalists accountable, and layout the cold, hard receipts the mainstream media was desperate to suppress.

In today’s high-stakes episode of Standing For America, Joe takes a hard-hitting look at the systemic failures eroding our public institutions and the brave advocates fighting back to protect local communities. Opening in Iredell County, North Carolina, the show exposes how the Iredell-Statesville school district attempted to silence free speech, setting the stage for a broader discussion on how public education systems across the country are failing American families. The focus then shifts directly to Colorado with special guest Erin Lee, Executive Director of Protect Kids Colorado and a leading parental rights advocate. Lee breaks down her transition from concerned parent to state-level reformer, detailing the critical fight behind three major citizen ballot initiatives: Proposition 133 ("The Children Are Not For Sale Act"), Proposition 134 ("The Protect Girls' Sports Act"), and Proposition 135 ("The Protect Kids From Irreversible Sex-Change Surgery Act"). Together, Joe and Erin discuss the escalating ideological attacks on youth, highlighting real-world consequences with alarming footage from Camas High School in Washington State. Finally, Joe dives deep into the ongoing judicial corruption saga surrounding Christopher Gregory. Joe exposes newly released documents detailing Gregory’s filings against Colorado judges—including Montezuma County Court Judge Ian J. MacLaren and former San Miguel County Court Judge Sean K. Murphy—and uncovers a recurring playbook where disciplined judges hire the very insider lawyers who write the rules. From Gregory taking on Attorney General Phil Weiser to intense courtroom transcripts revealing judicial stonewalling during protection order hearings, this episode delivers an unvarnished, line-by-line breakdown of political overreach you cannot afford to miss. Tune in today to watch the full show!

Today on the show, Joe takes on three stories the establishment would rather you skip. First, a Colorado high school is on probation and facing possible suspension, and the public still hasn’t been told what happened. CHSAA has put Lutheran High School on notice over alleged racist conduct at its games, but it hasn’t named the games, the dates, or who said what, and it admits it doesn’t investigate anything itself. We’ll hear directly from a Sand Creek cheerleader and her parent and ask the question nobody at CHSAA will answer: who’s actually holding the gavel here? Then, with the midterms less than three weeks away, election and cybersecurity expert Mark Cook of the Hand Count Road Show joins Joe to talk about what we know for sure about how our votes get counted. Has the Trump administration done enough to secure November, or has it gone after the wrong problem? What does Tina Peters’ commutation mean for Colorado clerks and voters this fall? And Joe puts the skeptic’s toughest question to Cook directly, so you can hear his strongest evidence and judge it for yourself. Finally, State Rep. Scott Bottoms sits down with Joe to dig into the Christopher Gregory case, the Colorado judicial scandal the media has barely touched. A former chief justice was disciplined, a sitting justice resigned, and the state’s own former judicial watchdog says he was fired for asking questions. We’ll look at what lawmakers knew, the bill that shields agencies’ secrets even when they hand records to the fraud hotline, and Bottoms’ resolution to bring in outside investigators that the Capitol doesn’t want to touch. If you want to know who’s protecting whom under the Gold Dome, you don’t want to miss this one.

Joe is on fire and here to show how power brokers try to control the narrative at every single level. From local campaign politics in Indiana and small-dollar donation fraud targeting our seniors, to the outrageous situation right here in Colorado where high school sports programs are getting canceled over unsubstantiated allegations, Americans are sick and tired of being put last while politicians play games. We’re joined by former FBI agent and whistleblower Kyle Seraphin to break down what’s really going on behind closed doors in Washington. We’re talking broken promises on election security from House leadership, secret rooms full of lawfare documents, and the absolute refusal of federal agencies to tell the American public the truth. Then, we blow the lid wide open on a massive judicial corruption scandal unfolding right here in Colorado. We’ve got brand-new, sworn court documents filed by the former head of the state’s judicial discipline commission—a guy who ran the agency—showing how judges, the Supreme Court, and Attorney General Phil Weiser are actively moving to seal records and protect their own. Local media won't touch it, but we’re following the facts wherever they lead.
