Pride Pullback, ICE Raids, DPS Scandal & BLM 5 Years Later!! Jeff and Bill!!! - May 27, 2025

Hour 1. Is "Pride" Not Cool Anymore?

New York says Pride Parade sponsorships are down 25% and Target does not want to be mentioned as a top-level sponsor. Jeff and Bill discuss if the culture has turned against Pride and LBGTQ celebrations. Why do you feel some companies have pulled back on support of Pride events and marketing?

Hour 2. Would You Support ICE Raids at Denver Restaurants?

Jeff, Bill, and callers discuss a recent Denver Post article about local restaurants preparing for immigration raids. Do you support the raids? Should there be a "snitch line" in Denver to report illegal immigrants?

Hour 3. Is Denver Public School Selling Their School Buildings? Yes and No.

Joshua Sharf, Fellow, Independence Institute joins Jeff and Bill to outline how Denver Public Schools has issued billions of dollars in securities without approval from taxpayers. How? DPS has "sold" 32 properties to companies and then leased them back. Why? The company issues securities called Certificates of Participation, and the school pays off the debt through the lease payments. So, taxpayers are on the hook for debt they didn't approve.

Hour 4. Five Years from the George Floyd incident and the Creation of Black Lives Matter, Does BLM Matter?

Jeff, Bill, and callers talk about the impact of BLM and what if any changes we have seen in our policing or culture. In your opinion, what was the goal of BLM? Was it accomplished?
