Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Benjamin Allbright.

THREE IMPORTANT PETITION DRIVES ARE TAKING OFF TODAY And there is a pop up petition event today at  St. Thomas More Catholic Parish, located at 8035 S Quebec St., Centennial, CO from 5 to 8pm where you can pick up petitions to get them signed. What are we gathering signatures for? The initiatives are  #108, #109, #110 and they concern increasing child human trafficking penalties, keeping boys out of girls sports, and forbidding child gender affirming medical treatments. I've got someone from Protect Kids Colorado on at 2:30 today to talk about it.

MORE SHENANIGANS FROM OUR PAROLE SYSTEM I'm not saying the above numbers and the below numbers are connected, but it would not be a crazy thing to do. 9News' Chris Vanderveen has been working on this story and stories about the parole system for a while now and I don't think he's going to stop because he keeps finding out stuff like this. You've got to click on this whole thread to see the history of criminals that have been released from prison on parole after serious changes were made to the file used to make those decisions.

Mike joins me at 12:30 to chat about this but if this isn't a campaign talking point for Republicans I don't know what is.

A PHYSICIANS GROUP FILES A GRIEVANCE OVER RACE BASED PROGRAMS And specifically at the University of Connecticut where they advertise a medical externship as a "pipeline for students of color". I've got Dr. Kurt Miceli on at 2:30 to talk about the complaint filed by the group he's with Do No Harm, which you can read here. Diversity as a primary goal is not ideal, especially in medicine. I want a great doctor of any color, not a doctor of color who may or may or may not be great.

THE FORWARD PARTY IS OFFERING ALTERNATIVES But what are they all about? Today I've got Dave Ryan on from the Forward Party here in Colorado (find their website here) on to discuss the platform and why they feel like they are a good choice in today's era where the two biggest parties may not feel right for some. Find out the full platform of the national party here, I'll chat with Dave at 1.

FUTURIST THOMAS FREY TODAY AT 1 And we're talking about the recently signed Genius Act- the first comprehensive federal framework for stablecoin regulation. No longer experimental or unregulated, stablecoins gained legitimacy as essential components of the American monetary system. The Federal Reserve now oversees large issuers while providing access to master accounts that enable large-scale operations. A senior Treasury official noted that stablecoin growth will have “significant impact on the dominance of the US dollar and demand for US debt.”" So what does that mean? I have no clue but Thomas does. Read his column on it here.

DID TRUMP JUST TURN ON BIG PHARMA? I saw the post President Trump sent out this past weekend that seemed in my view to be challenging Pfizer on what information they showed HIM when he was President and what they did NOT show anyone about the vaccines.My pal David Strom writes about this here, and does so well. What does this mean for Pfizer? I hope a lot, because I idiotically trusted that they would release COMPLETE information about the vaccines I went on to recommend (but now will not get or recommend) and it would be nice to hold them accountable. I'm talking to David about this at 1pm.

WANT TO SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT DOGS? This weekend is the Annual Rex Run for Pawsitivity in Arapahoe County and it's a super event that raises money for all manner of stuff to support the hard working dogs of law enforcement. I do this just so I get to see a dog in the studio when Deputy John Gray from Arapahoe County will bring in Rex to say hello. Find out more about him and other therapy dogs at the race this weekend by clicking here.
