Hold on, it's striking my leg, my knee, my neck, excuse me. Okay, there we go. Hey, you're on Live The Dream Media Network, Christopher DeSimone, and it is a Big Wednesday edition. It's also a Dan Shearer Wednesday. And all I can tell you from a preview email that he sent me, is there, may there be some sort of talk about something that could be reminiscent of a cult? The answer is yes. So he interviewed the 16-year-old kid who was, who left it two years back. Interesting. It looks like it's going to hit his paper on Sunday. So Dan Shearer will be here, and I got so much to cover today.
We're going to watch the Pima County Board of Supervisors talk about jacking up taxes on families and fixed income seniors and the rest of us.
Before this hour is over, we'll find out where are we going to... Supposedly was the last day of Teamsters are going to strike, not going to strike, we're going to do that. We got another video of election petition workers offering cash for fake signatures on ballot petitions. And that will open up a discussion about... We're talking about with Matt Beinberg from Goldwater about the ballot for the thing that would choke ESAs and academic freedom. And we're going to talk about how the petition process is broken in Arizona and how it needs to be fixed. We're going to offer solutions here on Petition Watch. Then we have, let's see, I got a bunch of stuff to get to today. We were working with trying to get Eric Metaxas on the show, and we're still farting around with some dates and times. But, and thank you for listener Gene for trying to facilitate this. And he wrote a book about the revolution, but there's an op-bed he wrote in The Post that we'll talk about maybe a third hour. The American Revolution is the only one that actually delivered on the promises. So we'll talk about that as part of our America 250 celebration. We have a 29-year-old Democrat Socialist outs 15 term in Colorado's first district Democrat. Right there is one of your problems. Yes, the story is DSA taking out Democrats, but at the same time, um, 15 terms.
Yowza. We're going to talk about NBC News special report, guy named Craig Melvin, offering a trigger warning before having a discussion with the reporter about the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court decision on dudes playing in women's sports. So we'll talk about that.
We might play this screaming match between Lawler and Raskin. If somehow we got to do it. We'll get to this election fraud in California.
New Jersey Middle School has to recall their entire yearbook after... They had a thing where you're supposed to submit a picture of your baby picture as part of the yearbook. You know, here's Chris as a baby, and here's Chris now, that kind of thing. And some kid submitted a black and white picture of Adolf Hitler as a baby. And they printed it anyway. I just like the idea that a kid in 2026 submitted his baby picture, which is like what, 2012? When he was born. And it's black and white wearing an old time baby outfit. So that middle school has that going. SunSram, state educator leaders, moving moves. Wow. That's the worst headline KVOA has ever done. But we'll talk about money that is going to be put aside for SROs for schools. We have, we still don't have any update on the cemetery fire. I mean, Regina, first Latina mayor, first cemetery fire in Tucson history. I mean, and grave robbing under her watch. So what else do we got here? And then good news for Tia Gloria's Mission Garden. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places. So that's a good thing. So we got that going for us. And then I was at a, let's say, professional office yesterday. And they had one of my favorite things that I do this once in a while just to show how things don't change in the Pima County, Tucson region, or pretty much any, I don't want to say any, a lot of communities that have failed public and private leadership. And here we go. It is the Biz Tucson Chamber Door special edition. And I'm going to just read you some quotes.
And you tell me if anything has ever changed. Because I'm going to tell you that characters can change a little bit. The quotes don't change. That's the best. Good news for the University of Arizona Veterinary College. They have received their accreditation, which they initially kind of got pooh-poohed about a year or so, but I knew they'd make it before it's over. And this is huge news for them. It's huge news for Oral Valley, where it's located. It's the idea that not... And the other thing is, they're graduating students in three years, great vets, making money.
