Episode 1045 – Domestic Terrorism is Becoming a Big Problem

Colorado has decided to make a bunch of laws that gives the government the right to take your kids away. I guess the democrats don’t want to run the state anymore.

Domestic terrorism is becoming a big problem. Let’s talk about it.

And the tax slavery of the western states is scaring off business. Why don’t the politicians listen?

News

Here is some news:

  • The tariff earthquake continues.
    • It has been reported that 50 countries have contacted the United States to make trade deals.
    • Those countries include Japan, Israel, the European Union, Vietnam, and South Korea.
    • Trump is looking for free trade. He wants American products allowed into foreign states.
    • China vows to fight the tariffs to the end. Good.
    • The stock market is up 1000 points today.
    • Clarity is necessary.
    • He tweeted:
  • According to reports from Fox News and CBS News, the Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump’s request to vacate a lower court’s ruling that barred the administration from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals, including suspected members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
    • The Supreme Court’s decision was sharply divided, with a 5-4 split ruling in favor of the Trump administration’s request12. 
    • While the court allowed the deportations to resume, it also mandated that individuals subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act must be given notice and an opportunity to challenge their deportation before being removed from the United States13.
    • In dissent, the three liberal justices, joined in part by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, criticized the majority’s decision, arguing that it rewarded the government’s attempts to avoid judicial review34.

They Want Your Kids

Colorado is currently considering House Bill 25-1312, known as the “Kelly Loving Act,” which proposes significant legal protections for transgender individuals. The bill aims to address issues such as misgendering, deadnaming, and gender-affirming care, particularly in contexts involving family law, education, and public accommodations.

Key Provisions of HB25-1312

  1. Misgendering and Deadnaming as Child Abuse:
    The bill classifies misgendering (using pronouns inconsistent with someone’s gender identity) and deadnaming (using a person’s birth name rather than their chosen name) as forms of “coercive control” in child custody cases. Courts would consider such actions when determining parental responsibilities and the best interests of the child146.
  2. Anti-Discrimination Protections:
    Misgendering and deadnaming would be explicitly defined as discriminatory acts under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. This would prohibit such behavior in places of public accommodation, including businesses and schools. Violators could face penalties such as fines or mandatory anti-discrimination training146.
  3. School Policies:
    Schools would be required to adopt inclusive policies regarding chosen names and gender-neutral dress codes. They would also need to accommodate any reason a student might use a name different from their legal name356.
  4. Public Entities’ Use of Chosen Names:
    Public agencies would be mandated to provide space for both legal names and chosen names on official forms. Once a chosen name is listed, it must be used on all future documentation administered by the agency67.
  5. Parental Rights Protections:
    Colorado courts would be prohibited from enforcing out-of-state laws that penalize families for supporting gender-affirming care for minors36.

Criticisms and Concerns

Critics argue that the bill could infringe on free speech rights by compelling individuals to use specific names or pronouns, even if doing so conflicts with personal beliefs. Some opponents also view the classification of misgendering and deadnaming as child abuse as overly broad and potentially harmful to parental rights15. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the administrative burden on public entities required to track chosen names5.

Broader Implications

If passed, HB25-1312 could set a national precedent for transgender protections, reinforcing Colorado’s position as a sanctuary state for gender-diverse individuals37. However, it remains controversial due to its potential impact on free speech, parental rights, and business practices.

The bill is still under consideration in the Colorado legislature, and its final form may include amendments addressing some of these concerns.

They Won’t Listen

Major corporations, including Amazon, Costco, Microsoft, and Nordstrom, are warning Washington state lawmakers that proposed tax increases could lead to a corporate exodus and harm the state’s economic stability. These companies, alongside others such as Alaska Airlines, Zillow, T-Mobile, and Puget Sound Energy, co-signed a letter urging the legislature to reconsider payroll and wealth tax proposals aimed at addressing a significant budget shortfall of $12–16 billion134.

Key Concerns Raised by Businesses

  1. Economic Impact of Taxes:
    • The proposed taxes include a statewide payroll tax modeled after Seattle’s 2020 “JumpStart” tax. This tax would impose a 5% levy on employee wages above the Social Security wage limit for companies with annual payrolls exceeding $7 million2.
    • Critics argue that these measures would increase operational costs, making Washington less competitive compared to other regions. For example, it is reportedly 30% cheaper to employ software engineers in Vancouver, Canada, than in the Puget Sound area12.
  2. Threats to Job Growth:
    • Business leaders warned that higher taxes could drive jobs out of the state. Microsoft President Brad Smith highlighted that Amazon has reduced its Seattle workforce by 10,000 jobs since the implementation of the “JumpStart” tax, while adding 25,000 jobs in Bellevue16.
    • Smith also pointed to historical examples in Europe where similar wealth taxes were abolished due to negative economic consequences, including job losses16.
  3. Unsustainable Spending Growth:
    • The letter criticized Washington’s spending trends, noting that the state’s operating budget has more than doubled over the past decade, growing by 37% in just the last four years—far outpacing population and income growth13.
    • Businesses argued that even without new taxes, existing revenue sources are projected to grow by 6.8% in the 2025–2027 biennium and 7.7% in the following biennium13.

Legislative Context

Democratic lawmakers have floated various revenue measures to address the budget gap, including payroll and business taxes. However, Governor Bob Ferguson has stated he would veto any bill containing a wealth tax due to concerns about its economic impact34. While proponents of these taxes argue they are necessary for funding public services like education and housing, opponents—including Republicans and business leaders—believe spending cuts should be prioritized instead45.

Broader Implications

The business community has warned that these tax proposals could lead to long-term damage to Washington’s economic competitiveness. Companies have already begun shifting jobs to more business-friendly regions like Idaho or British Columbia. Additionally, some wealthy residents have reportedly moved out of Washington to avoid higher taxes23.

In summary, corporate leaders are urging lawmakers to reconsider these tax hikes, emphasizing their potential to undermine entrepreneurship, discourage job creation, and harm economic stability across the state134.

Episode 1044 – The Uncomfortable, Necessary Conversation

Let’s have an uncomfortable and necessary conversation about race relations.

Let’s Have That Uncomfortable Conversation

On April 2, 2025, a tragic stabbing at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, claimed the life of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a junior at Memorial High School. The incident occurred during the UIL District 11-5A track meet at Kuykendall Stadium, where students from multiple schools were competing. Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, was present and attempted to save him after the stabbing, but Austin succumbed to his injuries shortly after being transported to a hospital126.

Details of the Incident

The altercation began under Memorial High School’s team tent when Austin reportedly asked Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old student from Centennial High School, to leave the tent as he did not belong to their team. Witnesses stated that Anthony responded by opening his bag and warning, “Touch me and see what happens.” When Austin pushed or grabbed him, Anthony pulled out a knife and stabbed him once in the chest before fleeing. He was later apprehended near the stadium349.

Aftermath and Reactions

Hunter Metcalf described holding his brother as he died, saying he tried to stop the bleeding but was unable to save him. Their father, Jeff Metcalf, expressed anguish over the loss and questioned how such an event could occur without adequate security measures in place67. The family has received an outpouring of community support but is focused on grieving and honoring Austin’s memory3.

Anthony was charged with first-degree murder and is being held on a $1 million bond. According to arrest reports, he claimed self-defense during his initial statements to police but admitted to stabbing Austin48. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to piece together the full circumstances of the incident.

Community Impact

The tragedy has deeply affected students and staff at Memorial High School and raised concerns about safety at school events. The track meet was postponed and relocated, with Frisco ISD promising updated security measures moving forward59.

What is wrong with black people and people in general (some of this is not just a black problem):

  • The get-rich-quick mentality (education is not important).
  • The hip-hop culture (thug mentality).
  • The destruction of the nuclear family.
  • The loss of self-respect.
  • The loss of religion.
  • Loss of community.

I Thought You Couldn’t Do This?

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support the legal defense of Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old charged with murder following the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025. The incident reportedly began with a dispute over seating, escalating into a fatal altercation. Anthony’s family and supporters claim he acted in self-defense, while Metcalf’s family disputes this narrative128.

The crowdfunding efforts have raised significant amounts across multiple platforms. A GiveSendGo campaign has collected over $85,000 as of April 6, while GoFundMe campaigns have also been organized by supporters under titles such as “Support Karmelo Anthony’s Legal Defense” and “Support Karmelo Anthony’s Fight for Justice”234. These campaigns emphasize Anthony’s academic achievements, lack of a criminal record, and the family’s need for financial assistance to cover legal fees and other expenses13.

The Trans Thing Just Keeps Marching Forward

Here’s is some trans news that we can’t skip. That’s because it is being ignored by the media and is really becoming a problem for women.

  • Stephanie Turner, a female fencer, was disqualified from the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland on March 30, 2025, after refusing to compete against Redmond Sullivan, a transgender woman. Turner protested by kneeling and removing her mask prior to the match, stating that she would not fence against Sullivan because she believed it was unfair for a transgender woman to compete in a women’s event. This act of protest resulted in her receiving a black card, which disqualified her from the tournament135.
  • The governing body for high school sports in Washington State has announced that it will not ban men from women’s sports following legal threats from Democratic officials.
    • Washington state law currently requires educational agencies to allow students to participate in interscholastic sports “that most closely aligns with their gender identity.”  The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA)  previously announced that it had proposed two bylaw amendments that would limit participants in girls’ sports to students who were born as females and prevent students who were born male and now identify as female from competing in girls’ sports following multiple headline-grabbing victories by boys in Washington competing in girls’ events.
  • A transgender athlete took home first place in a varsity high jump competition at an Oregon high school meet Wednesday, roughly two years after finishing last while competing against junior varsity boys, according to a report. 
    • Lia Rose, who reportedly used to compete as Zachary, won the high jump at the Portland Interscholastic League Varsity Relays with a height of 4 feet, 8 inches, beating the second-place finisher by two inches.
  • A trans-identified male is lashing out against the New York City Tennis League Network after being banned from competing against women. Cameron ‘Cammie’ Woodman, 25, is now on a crusade to have the Network banned from using public courts by complaining to city officials.
    • Last week, Woodman played two sets against female opponents in the Lincoln Terrace Park tennis courts of Brooklyn and was victorious in both matches. One of his opponents then contacted the Tennis League Network’s CEO, Steve Chagnon, to alert him about the presence of a male in the women’s matches. The Tennis League Network is an amateur recreational league with branches nationwide.
    • Chagnon, head of the Tennis League Network, forwarded the complaint to Woodman with the accompanying message: “Can we move you over to an appropriate level Men’s Division?”
    • Woodman refused the offer, stating: “I am a transgender woman who has been medically transitioning for the past four years. I believe in my integrity as a woman player, as I play women often… I am not willing to join a men’s league where I would have a disadvantage due to my medical transition.”
    • He went on to name the woman who had sent in the complaint, and slammed her as “a very inexperienced player who wouldn’t even have rated as high as a 3.0 based on her skills,” and added that he found it “offensive” that she had brought the matter to Chagnon.
    • Woodman additionally shared a series of posts further demanding action to “fight transphobia on NY courts” and stating that the Tennis League Network “should be removed from our city’s courts for violating NY Human Rights Law”. He is calling on the New York City Parks Department and the New York City Commission on Human Rights to investigate.
  • Professional disc golf athlete Abigail Wilson walked off the tee in protest over the inclusion of a trans-identified male in the women’s competition this week. Wilson found herself being expected to compete against male participant Logan ‘Natalie’ Ryan in the Music City Open held in Nashville, and refused in an act of defiance being celebrated by women’s rights advocates the world over.
    • Wilson posted a video of her protest to her Instagram account, saying: “Females deserve to have their gender protected division be protected. This is unfair. I have worked so hard to get to this point to play on the DGPT, but the sacrifice of my career and my hard work is worth it if it means I can make a difference for other women, daughters, nieces, and the future of our sport. If you feel how wrong it is to have biological males be competing in female protected divisions in sports, now is the time to speak up and stand your ground.”
    • She added that she had been having “anxiety” about playing against the trans-identified male because of “threats of violence” at last year’s competition, referencing a terrorist threat that had suspended the Music City Open last year.
  • When Ultimate Pool crowns a women’s champion for the Pro Series event on Sunday, the winner will be a biological male. That’s because both the finalists, Harriet Haynes and Lucy Smith, are males who “identify” as women.

That’s Not Enough Justice

Anjela Borisova Urumova, a 20-year-old woman from Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on April 1, 2025, to 45 days to 23 months in the Bucks County Correctional Facility after filing a false police report about an alleged attempted rape and kidnapping. The incident occurred in April 2024 in the parking lot of a Redner’s grocery store in Middletown Township. Her false accusations led to the wrongful imprisonment of an innocent man, Daniel Pierson, for 31 days before her claims were disproven through a thorough investigation by law enforcement126.

Urumova initially alleged that Pierson attacked her from behind, attempted to pull down her pants, punched her, and tried to abduct her. However, inconsistencies in her account were uncovered through surveillance footage and forensic analysis of her cellphone data. Confronted with the evidence, Urumova admitted she fabricated the entire story. She later revealed that she had targeted Pierson because she found him “creepy” after seeing him and his truck in the area previously27.

In January 2025, Urumova pled guilty to seven misdemeanor charges, including filing false reports, tampering with physical evidence, and unsworn falsification to authorities. She faced a potential sentence of up to 17 years but received a reduced sentence due to her plea deal. In addition to jail time, she was ordered to serve one year of probation, undergo a mental health evaluation, pay $3,600 in restitution to the victim, and avoid any contact with him or his family368.

The case has drawn significant attention due to its impact on the victim and broader societal implications. Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn emphasized that such false accusations can erode public trust in the justice system and jeopardize legitimate cases of sexual violence16.
