I was so unconvinced by either of my guests the other day regarding whether to vote yes or no on DougCo Home Rule (and, to be clear, I don't vote in DougCo) that I'm doing it again. Two guests, one after the other -- not at the same time, offering their views. This time the "no" side goes first.

Barry Eisler is a former CIA operations officer (meaning an active spy) who I was connected with by my friend Dan Hoffman, former 3-time CIA station chief, including in Moscow. He's a multi-time best-selling author and his newest is a political thriller (not a spy novel) entitled "The System".

I've said this each year for a while now since Juneteenth was made an official federal holiday four years ago: This is a legit holiday, a day in our history worth celebrating, and it shouldn't be thought of as a "woke" creation or any such thing.

Plus "Now You Know" with the intrepid Chad Bowar!

And it's an "Ask Me Anything" kind of Thursday! Listeners got to ask me whatever they want.

John Kellner is currently a Criminal Justice Fellow at the Common Sense Institute and joins us to talk about their report, released today, on Colorado’s fentanyl issues. (Hint: improving but not as much as we'd like and still below average for the country.)

Kathie Barstnar is Exec Dir of NAIOP Colorado. We'll discuss their lawsuit challenging the legality of Denver's insane and expensive new energy requirements that could end up costing more to retrofit a building than the building is worth. (Or least that's a claim they make.)

Steve Moore is one of the nation's most influential economists and he joins me to discuss the proposed Senate amendments to the "One Big Beautiful Bill". While they're not all great, they're mostly very strong and might even be enough to get me to vote for the bill if I were in Congress.

Jeffrey Konvitz is a multi-time best-selling author, going all the way back to the horror novel Sentinel in the 1970s. He's also a big-time Hollywood lawyer. His new novel, "The Circus of Satan", is historical fiction of the early 20th century at the time of the decline of the Irish mob(s) and the rise of Italian and Jewish mobsters. Quite a fun and interesting read with plenty of fascinating characters who really lived.
