## Resource

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the direction of our country. The speaker takes a closer look at a Colorado congressional candidate who's been flying under the radar, but his radical views and actions are anything but subtle. From his time as a Yale law student to his current run for office, this candidate has a history of pushing a far-left agenda that's out of touch with the values of his constituents. This episode delves into the candidate's background, revealing a pattern of behavior that's more about ideology than representation. We explore his connections to prominent progressive politicians, his involvement in radical activism, and his voting record on key issues like healthcare and immigration. The speaker also examines the candidate's claims about his moderate stance on certain issues, questioning whether he's truly committed to representing the people of Colorado or just trying to sell himself as a more palatable alternative. One of the most striking aspects of this candidate's record is his history of pushing a far-left agenda, from suing the EPA over slaughterhouse rules to advocating for a tax on meat, dairy, and eggs.
