Adam and Dick open with two local items — No Kings 3 hitting Colorado Springs tomorrow and Syracuse University's veteran candidate training program, now with an ideation track for folks still on the fence about running.

From there, they get into Colorado Springs city council banning vehicle camping and why that sale is dead on arrival with the current council, contrasted with the San Jose tiny home model that actually worked by dropping the sobriety-first requirements and just opening the doors.

On the federal side: ICE gets deployed to airports with no coherent mission, no shift briefing, and no real plan beyond body count. Democrats pull off a funding maneuver worth something — and then immediately talk about it too much. The Iran situation gets declared over again while 10,000 troops head that way, the Supreme Court press corps ruling sits ignored, and the Strait of Hormuz remains the one real chip on the table.

Recorded at Studio 809 in downtown Colorado Springs.

Dick and Adam open with Iran's public execution of protesters — including a 19-year-old wrestler — as a deliberate message of state terror, then pivot to Pete Hegseth's $200 billion war funding request and what the quadrupling of that number actually signals about U.S. military strategy. The conversation shifts to the Time Magazine investigation into César Chávez, the allegations of sexual abuse against him, and how Dolores Huerta and the Chávez family have responded. The guys also touch on Cuba's continued grid failures, the erosion of U.S. soft power through tariff politics, Ukraine's drone knowledge-sharing, and why flooding the news cycle might be the whole point. Closing out with a Chuck Norris send-off.

Iran's decentralized military structure means no single target stops the drone and missile threat. Meanwhile, lone-wolf attacks are ticking up stateside. Adam and Dick connect the dots between foreign escalation, domestic terrorism, eroding civil liberties, and an administration that treats every crisis as an opportunity to grab more power.
