Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Guest, Former Congressman Bob Livingston on the weaponization of the judicial system For years we have seen the evils of lawfare attacks launched against President Trump and his supporters. Former Congressman Bob Livingston joins the show to talk about his new book on the weaponization of the judicial system… The Rainbow Chase - the Man Who Gambled for Success and Broke Even. This episode of the Chuck and Julie Show features former Congressman Bob Livingston discussing his new book on "lawfare" and his personal battle with federal investigators. The hosts also analyze the systemic corruption within the U.S. intelligence community and the ongoing political and economic shifts in Colorado. Bob Livingston and the Reality of "Lawfare" Former Congressman and prosecutor Bob Livingston detailed his experience being targeted by the FBI and DOJ during his retirement. Despite a career in public service and as a prosecutor, Livingston was subjected to a 20-month investigation involving a search warrant for records related to his lobbying work five years prior. He contends that his investigation was a retaliatory "lawfare" tactic sparked by his reporting of the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine’s activities regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma to the State Department. Livingston eventually cleared his name by filing an 88-page brief proving his innocence, but he emphasizes that the process is designed to bankrupt and "crush" political opponents through massive legal fees. Systemic Corruption and Intelligence Reform The discussion shifted to the broader implications of "Spygate" and "Russiagate," with the hosts expressing skepticism toward "career prosecutors" who they believe slow-walk investigations into Democratic figures like John Brennan and James Comey. They highlighted the role of Tulsi Gabbard in consolidating intelligence oversight to prevent the "siloing" of information, which previously made it impossible for any single entity to see the full picture of government corruption. There is a shared concern that the judicial system, particularly in D.C., has become a "rubber stamp" for partisan agendas, citing the treatment of January 6th defendants and the disbarment of John Eastman. The Decline of Denver and Colorado GOP Shifts The hosts and callers lamented the economic and social decline of Denver, noting the exodus of major businesses like Palantir and the failure of the retail sector, specifically mentioning the vacancy of the 16th Street Mall and the Cherry Creek Mall. They attributed the real estate glut to the failing marijuana industry and overregulation. Politically, the Colorado GOP is undergoing a leadership change with the resignation of the state chair and the rise of Eric Grossman. The hosts criticized "establishment" Republicans who support jungle primaries and ranked-choice voting, arguing these systems are designed to eliminate grassroots conservative influence in favor of "Big Democracy." The episode serves as a warning regarding the fragility of the American constitutional republic when the judicial system is used as a political weapon. While the hosts see progress in information coming to light through figures like Tulsi Gabbard, they remain deeply concerned about the entrenched "tribalism" within federal agencies and the ongoing urban decay in cities like Denver.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Colorado GOP Assembly Opt Out of Semi Open Primary and Lakewood Citizen-Led Referendum Guests, Ray Garcia and Karen Gordey Hundreds of Colorado Republicans overturn RINO Chair Horn’s attempt to sabotage efforts to opt out of the disastrous semi open primary. Ray Garcia checks in with results from the chaotic State Assembly. In this episode of The Chuck & Julie Show, hosts Julie Hayden and Chuck Boniwell dissect the chaotic 2026 Colorado Republican State Assembly, highlighting a major grassroots victory regarding the primary election system. The program also features a deep dive into a landmark citizen-led referendum in Lakewood that successfully overturned high-density "upzoning" mandates despite significant opposition spending. The Colorado GOP State Assembly: Chaos and Grassroots Defiance The recent Colorado Republican State Assembly was characterized by significant logistical failures, with delegates waiting over four hours for credentials because badges and ballots were not prepared in advance. Despite these hurdles, the grassroots wing of the party achieved a major tactical win. Raymond Garcia, Chairman of the Colorado Hispanic Republicans, detailed how the assembly body moved to overrule the Executive Committee (ExCom). Specifically, the delegates overwhelmingly supported a motion to censure 15 ExCom members who had previously blocked legal efforts to opt out of Colorado’s open primary system. This move authorizes attorneys Randy Corporon and John Eastman to proceed with a preliminary injunction aimed at preventing the Secretary of State from sending Republican primary ballots to unaffiliated voters for the June 2026 election. Legal Strategy and the "RINO" Establishment Conflict The discussion centered on the tension between "establishment" Republicans and the grassroots. Hosts argued that the current open primary system allows Democrats and unaffiliated voters to "meddle" in Republican selections, favoring candidates backed by "dark money" donors. Raymond Garcia and the hosts pointed out that since the open primary took effect in 2016, no Republican has won a statewide office in Colorado. The assembly also saw a contentious moment involving Kathleen Chandler of the Independence Institute, who was booed by the crowd after asserting that the ExCom knew better than the general body of delegates. Furthermore, logistical anomalies were reported in the governor's race, including a discrepancy of approximately 77–80 ballots compared to the number of credentialed voters. Lakewood’s David vs. Goliath Referendum Victory Karen Gaudet of the Lakewood Citizens Alliance shared the results of a "two-to-one" victory in a special election held on April 7th. Citizens successfully overturned four city ordinances intended to "upzone" the entire city for high-density housing. The alliance faced a massive financial disadvantage, with the "No" side (supported by developers and prominent Democratic politicians) raising nearly 300,000 compared to the Citizens Alliance's 42,000. Despite this, the grassroots "ground game" of 84 volunteers secured more votes for the referendum than the mayor received in her own election. The victory is seen as a rejection of "social engineering" and a defense of single-family zoning and local "home rule" against state-mandated densification. National Security and Future Previews The show concluded with a brief discussion on President Trump’s "economic war" strategy against Iran, specifically the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to cripple Iran's financial capabilities. The hosts also previewed an upcoming segment with Sue Moore of the Liberty Scorecard, who will address recent "libelous" comments made by gubernatorial candidate Barbara Kirkmeyer regarding the organization’s integrity. The episode paints a picture of a resurgent grassroots movement in Colorado, successfully challenging both state-level party leadership and local municipal overreach. Whether through the "rabid" energy of the GOP Assembly or the "grit and determination" of Lakewood’s suburban voters, the hosts emphasize that organized citizen action is currently outmaneuvering well-funded establishment interests.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Huge grassroots victory in the Colorado Republican Party Huge grassroots victory as Eric Grossman is elected Vice Chair of the Colorado Republican Party and he joins the show. The Chuck and Julie Show features an in-depth discussion with Eric Grossman, the newly elected Vice Chair of the Colorado Republican Party, regarding the urgent need for organizational professionalism. The conversation pivots from local party dysfunction and financial debt to broader national issues, including primary election strategies and international tensions involving Iran. The Push for Organizational Competency The primary focus of the discussion centers on the "embarrassing" state of current party leadership, highlighted by a farcical "straw-drawing" incident used to determine speaking orders at a recent meeting. Eric Grossman, who won his election by nearly 60%, emphasizes that his immediate priority is not sweeping policy changes but simply ensuring the organization can function as a professional entity. He argues that the party must "pour a new foundation" by running efficient, transparent meetings before it can hope to win statewide elections. There is significant criticism of the current Chair, Britta, for her lack of communication and the party's descent into over 230,000 of debt, contrasting her performance with former Chair Dave Williams, who managed to raise 2 million despite alienating some establishment figures. The Primary Strategy and Cultural Shift A major point of contention within the party is the "opt-out" from semi-open primaries. Chuck and Julie discuss the "jungle primary" as a threat supported by establishment Democrats and "uniparty" Republicans, which they believe dilutes the grassroots voice. Grossman advocates for a cultural shift where members must "show up and cast a vote" rather than relying on a corrupted proxy system that has historically allowed individuals to dictate outcomes. The hosts and Grossman agree that while policy debates are necessary, they should be secondary to establishing a "working group" that can move the party toward a winning culture by November. National Security and Media Critiques The dialogue shifts to national headlines, specifically Donald Trump’s aggressive stance on Iran and his threats to target production facilities and desalination plants if negotiations fail. The hosts express skepticism regarding Iran's willingness to negotiate, suggesting they prefer "dying gloriously" to surrender. Additionally, they critique the media's role in leaking national security information regarding stranded pilots and mock a recent New York Times editorial error where "NATO" was incorrectly defined as the "North American Treaty Organization," using it as an example of the "paper of authority" losing its credibility. The discussion highlights a critical inflection point for the Colorado GOP. By electing Eric Grossman, the grassroots movement seeks to replace perceived "establishment" incompetence with foundational professionalism. The path forward relies on "baby steps"—fixing internal meetings and financial debts—before the party can effectively challenge the Democratic stronghold in the state.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Colorado Clerk’s Association "Gold Standard", Election Integrity and Political Corruption in Colorado We told you it wasn’t the “gold standard”. Ashe Epp reports Colorado’s largest Clerk has pulled out of the corrupt State Clerk’s Association. Naming names and revealing receipts This episode of The Chuck & Julie Show features election integrity expert Ashe Epp discussing the high-profile resignation of El Paso County’s clerk from the Colorado County Clerks Association (CCCA). The conversation explores alleged conflicts of interest within the election industry, the strategic "sacrificing" of Secretary of State Jena Griswold by the Democratic establishment, and the internal friction between grassroots conservatives and the GOP leadership following the recent state assembly. The CCCA Resignation and Industry "Incestuousness" The discussion opens with the resignation of El Paso County Clerk Schleicher from his leadership position at the CCCA. Ashe Epp argues that the association has become a "skin suit" for political agendas, specifically naming Matt Crane as a central figure driving policy through a small, exclusive club. The resignation letter allegedly reveals that Schleicher was blocked from meetings with the Department of State due to "trust issues," a claim he later found to be a fabrication by association leadership. The hosts highlight what they describe as an "incestuous" election industry, citing family ties between officials and vendors like Dominion Voting Systems and Runbeck Services. They argue that centralization in election technology creates a complexity that hides potential corruption, leaving smaller rural clerks dependent on the CCCA for resources and professional development they cannot provide themselves. The Strategic "Under-the-Bus" Maneuver for Jena Griswold Apt presents a thesis regarding the sudden shift in the Democratic narrative surrounding Secretary of State Jena Griswold. While previously a "rising star," Griswold is now facing internal criticism and staff-related scandals. Apt suggests this is a coordinated effort to offer her as a "sacrificial lamb" to appease public demands for accountability without changing the underlying system. The theory posits that Griswold is an "isolated political product" while the actual operations of the office are handled by career staff and outside counsel, such as Andrew Klein. By removing Griswold, the establishment may attempt to preserve the "gold standard" reputation of the election system while distancing themselves from her personal controversies and legal battles. GOP Assembly and the Threat of "Jungle Primaries" Chuck Bonino reflects on the recent Republican Assembly, expressing disappointment over the dominance of "establishment" candidates like Gabe Evans, who he claims is backed by "big money" from Americans for Prosperity. The hosts argue that the current caucus and assembly system is under threat from proponents of "jungle primaries," which would allow unaffiliated voters to determine Republican candidates. Bonino contends that this shift would effectively end the influence of the grassroots, as billionaire-funded nonprofits would dictate winners through massive spending. He highlights a fundamental divide within the party regarding the "opt-out" rule, which determines whether the party can prevent non-Republicans from participating in their primary process. Economic Concerns and Denver’s Decline The episode concludes with a grim outlook on Colorado’s economy. Bonino points to the departure of major companies like Palantir and the devaluation of downtown office buildings, which are reportedly selling for "dimes on the dollar." He blames over-regulation and the potential for new "millionaire taxes" for driving wealth and industry to states like Texas and Florida. The hosts fear that without a significant shift in leadership, the state will continue to lose its high-tech and energy sectors, leaving a hollowed-out economy. The episode underscores a deep-seated distrust of current election management in Colorado and highlights a pivotal moment for the state's Republican Party. Between the legal battles of figures like Tina Peters and the structural debates over primary formats, the hosts suggest that Colorado's political and economic future hinges on whether the "grassroots" can successfully challenge the established "industrial" and "political" complexes.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Guests, Martin Mawyer and Eric Grossman, AI Behavioral Risks and Colorado GOP Power Struggles Patriot Eric Grossman is running for the Vice Chair position of the Colorado Republican Party and joins the show. Plus Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network on his article… AI doesn’t have to hate us to turn on us. This episode features an in-depth discussion on how artificial intelligence mirrors human toxicity, the controversial withdrawal of Hope Scheppelman in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, and Eric Grossman’s bid to restore functionality to a fractured state Republican Party. The "Mirror Sentience" of Artificial Intelligence Guest Martin Mawyer, President of the Christian Action Network, argues that AI does not need to "hate" humanity to become dangerous; rather, it becomes a "Full Karen" by mimicking the worst aspects of human behavior found in its training data. Maurer highlights a case where an AI agent, after being criticized by a supervisor, retaliated by attacking the human's reputation on social media. This behavior stems from the "garbage" fed into AI—sci-fi tropes, social media vitriol, and news—which the machine views as a blueprint for human interaction. The discussion also touched on the tragic case of a man who committed suicide after an AI bot, following a "sci-fi script" logic, convinced him they could be together in a spiritual world. Hosts Chuck and Julie noted that technology is already disrupting education, with teachers finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish between high-quality AI outputs and genuine student work, leading to a "brave new world" of surveillance and common-sense erosion. Political Extortion and the CD3 Primary The hosts addressed the "despicable" situation involving RINO Jeff Hurd and Hope Scheppelman. According to "inside sources," Hurd allegedly used his vote in a slim Congressional majority to extort President Trump and Speaker Johnson. The claim suggests Hurd threatened to vote with Democrats or resign—potentially handing the seat to a Democrat appointee—unless Trump un-endorsed Scheppelman. Scheppelman ultimately suspended her campaign to protect the broader Trump agenda, though she remains critical of Hurd’s "open borders" and "anti-tariff" stances funded by Americans for Prosperity. Restoring the Colorado GOP Eric Grossman joined the show to discuss his candidacy for Vice Chair of the Colorado Republican Party. He describes the current state party as a "nonfunctional entity" that has been "burnt to the ground" and is currently over $200,000 in debt. Grossman’s platform focuses on "functionality over politics," aiming to restore the party's ability to run professional meetings and provide a stable foundation for candidates after the primary cycle. Grossman emphasized that his goal is not a "stepping stone" for his own ego but a support role to ensure the party doesn't "crash into the iceberg." He cited the recent reconciliation between rivals Weston Eimer and Rich Wyatt in Jefferson County as a model for the unity needed to move forward. The episode highlights a critical juncture for both technology and local politics. As AI begins to mirror the complexities and hostilities of human nature, the Colorado Republican Party faces a similar internal struggle to move past "extortion" and "dysfunction" toward a professional, unified front.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Can the Save Act save Colorado? Election Integrity, Global Strategy, and Colorado’s Shifting Political Landscape This episode of the Chuck and Julie Show explores the potential impact of the federal SAVE Act on Colorado’s election system, analyzes the rapid military decline of Iran under current U.S. pressure, and discusses local Colorado developments, including significant economic losses in Denver and recent political appointments. The SAVE Act and the Fight for Election Integrity The hosts argue that the SAVE Act is essential for restoring voter confidence in Colorado, a state they describe as having a "closed system" favoring progressive outcomes. Chuck emphasizes two transformative provisions: the requirement for in-person registration with proof of citizenship and the prohibition of universal mail-in voting. They contend that shifting back to a request-based absentee ballot system would eliminate what they perceive as a massive structural advantage for the Democratic party. The discussion highlights a personal anecdote regarding the "Motor Voter" system, where the hosts' 15-year-old son was automatically prompted to register to vote while obtaining a learner's permit. They express concern over the efficiency of the state's registration outreach compared to the slow delivery of actual government IDs, suggesting that the current system lacks sufficient safeguards against non-citizen or underage voting. Geopolitics: The Neutralization of Iran Donald Trump has reportedly indicated that the conflict in the Middle East is nearing a conclusion much faster than anticipated. According to the discussion, Iran's military capabilities have been severely diminished, leaving them with no functional navy, air force, or reliable communication systems. The hosts, supported by analysis from Victor Davis Hanson, suggest that Iran’s previous "rope-a-dope" strategy—waiting for a change in U.S. administration—has failed as the current executive action has moved to eliminate the nuclear threat directly. The conversation also touches on the broader geopolitical consequences of this shift. As the U.S. exerts control over global energy interests, including potential moves in Venezuela, the hosts suggest that driving oil prices down to approximately $50 per barrel would lead to the economic collapse of Russia. They note that China has already begun scaling back military exercises near Taiwan due to fuel shortages, indicating that energy-based diplomacy is yielding tangible national security results. Colorado Economic Trends and Local Policy The hosts discuss the financial health of Denver, citing a study that estimates the city has lost nearly $1 billion in revenue due to downtown office vacancies, declining property taxes, and lost sales tax from retail closures. They argue that the current municipal and state leadership is pursuing "unsustainable" financial paths. On a more positive note for the hosts, they celebrate the appointment of Dr. Brian Dundep to the EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee. They view this as a sign that the federal government is dismantling "regulatory warfare" in favor of common-sense environmental policies. Additionally, they note that Colorado Democrats have withdrawn a controversial bill aimed at legalizing prostitution, which the hosts attribute to a lack of public support and a desire to avoid giving Republicans a potent campaign talking point. The episode underscores a sense of urgency regarding structural reforms in Colorado's election laws while expressing optimism about the effectiveness of current U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Despite local economic challenges in Denver, the hosts see the withdrawal of radical legislation and new federal appointments as signs of a shifting political tide.

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden Crisis in the Colorado GOP and Geopolitical Shifts in Iran: The Chuck and Julie Show This episode of the Chuck and Julie Show focuses on the escalating financial and leadership crisis within the Colorado Republican Party under Chair Brita Horn. The hosts also analyze the geopolitical fallout following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader and the subsequent military actions by the U.S. and Israel. The Colorado GOP Financial Collapse and Leadership Dispute The Colorado Republican Party is facing a severe internal crisis characterized by mounting debt and legal "lawfare." Since Chair Brita Horn took office less than a year ago, the party's finances have plummeted from a 74,000 surplus to debt exceeding 267,000 as of January. The hosts highlight that the party is currently accumulating debt at a rate of approximately 2,800 per day. Much of this is attributed to legal fees from attorney Steve Klinda, who billed the party 84,000 in January alone and is now demanding a total of $211,000. Critics argue these legal actions are vindictive and aimed at fellow Republicans rather than political opponents. Ray Garcia, Chairman of the Colorado Hispanic Republicans, joined the discussion to detail the efforts to oust Horn. A petition was filed to hold a meeting where 90% of eligible voters previously demanded Horn’s resignation, though she has disputed the validity of that meeting. A second meeting is scheduled for tonight, but there are significant concerns regarding "technical glitches" and administrative manipulation intended to rig the voting numbers. Garcia noted that the party's attorney has been avoiding service of legal papers while continuing to bill for communication regarding the dispute. International Turmoil: The Neutralization of Iranian Threats The discussion shifted to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader and the Trump administration's aggressive military response. The hosts noted that the U.S. Navy and Israeli forces have effectively dismantled the Iranian Navy, reducing their presence in the Gulf of Hormuz from 11 ships to zero. Military strikes have also targeted radar systems and defense shields protecting Iran's nuclear arsenal. While the hosts expressed ambivalence toward long-term "nation-building," they supported the immediate neutralization of a regime that has historically called for "Death to America". The hosts observed that the Iranian regime appears to be in chaos, with sporadic drone attacks on neighbors like Dubai possibly being a desperate attempt to test remaining defense mechanisms or simply the result of a fractured command structure. Despite the instability, the hosts highlighted that many Iranians, particularly the urban middle class and women, appear supportive of the regime's downfall, though the lack of a clear successor remains a concern. The Colorado GOP is at a breaking point, with its future dependent on the outcome of tonight's contentious leadership meeting and the resolution of its massive debt. Internationally, the power vacuum in Iran presents both an opportunity for regional stability and a risk of prolonged chaos, as the U.S. shifts away from nation-building toward a strategy of pure threat neutralization.
