It's time for another lightning round episode! Join us for a fast paced conversation about a variety of topics that have been in the news recently that we find interesting (and we think you will too), including:
- Does President Trump really think Colorado is a border state?
- Why are Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg running sweepstakes to fly supporters across the country if civil aviation pollution is a key contributor to climate change?
- Abortion rates are down in Colorado - is free birth control for teens the reason why?
- The TX custody case for 7-year old James Younger: is he in fact transgender as his mother claims?
- Did Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduce taxes only for the 'ultra-wealthy' but not the middle class?
- Have Seattle's public schools declared math is racist as part of their newly expanded ethnic studies program?

I love the content and open dialogue. Please keep up the great work. The heavily controlled media has failed miserably in having a civil discussion with regards to important topics that face our country. Listening to this informative podcast gives me hope. I find the respectful debate refreshing. This type of platform is vital and necessary for a society that wants to advance, adapt or progress.
