The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 3: Peter Boyles keeps the Victor Marx conversation rolling while hammering Denver’s gun laws and the double standard he sees in Mayor Mike Johnston’s Union Station security detail—if a regular citizen pulled a gun to protect his family, would the outcome be very different?

Colorado Businesses Are Closing as Socialism Gains Ground in America
The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 1: Peter Boyles examines the growing appeal of socialism in America and asks a bigger question: What is driving people toward it? The conversation begins close to home with Karen and Robert Parker of Parker Arms in Wheat Ridge. After more than two decades in the firearms and gunsmithing business, Robert says rising costs, additional paperwork and new Colorado regulations have made continuing the business financially unsustainable. Parker Arms is liquidating its assets, and the Colorado-native couple says they are preparing for a new chapter outside the state. Their story becomes the jumping-off point for a much larger discussion about government power, capitalism, socialism and America's changing political landscape. Peter examines the recent success of candidates associated with the Democratic Socialists of America and questions whether the movement represents a passing political moment or the beginning of something much larger. The phone lines light up as callers challenge Peter from different directions. One caller argues that Americans are increasingly attracted to socialism because many no longer believe capitalism is delivering the American Dream. Peter counters with his defense of free markets and his concerns about government-planned economies. Also in the hour: Colorado politics, private property, Marxism, the DSA's electoral momentum, the future of the Republican Party and what growing economic frustration could mean at the ballot box.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He also shares remarkable stories from his political career involving Ronald Reagan, Frida Poundstone, Colorado Republicans and a furious confrontation with Karl Rove over immigration and the Bush White House.

Ward Churchill, CU & a Controversy That Still Echoes Today!
The Peter Boyles Show August 15, 2026 HOUR 1: Peter Boyles looks back at one of Colorado talk radio's most controversial chapters following the death of former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill. Dan Caplis joins Peter to remember the Churchill controversy, the investigative work surrounding it, the discovery of old audio recordings, Churchill's eventual dismissal from CU, and the political firestorm that followed. Peter raises a provocative question: Would the same controversy produce the same reaction today? But the conversation quickly becomes larger than Ward Churchill. Peter connects the battles of the past with today's political climate, the renewed appeal of socialism among younger Americans, the role of government, generational frustration and the idea that history moves through recurring periods of upheaval. During open lines, a caller introduces the concept of the Fourth Turning—the theory that generations periodically reach moments of crisis in which institutions are challenged and rebuilt. Peter considers that idea alongside earlier periods of American populism, socialism and political upheaval. As Peter puts it: “The song remains the same. History is repetitive.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
History Doesn’t Repeat? Look Again
The Peter Boyles Show August 15, 2026 HOUR 2 : Peter Boyles takes a trip through history — and asks what happens when the version we remember collides with what actually happened. Peter and longtime Denver journalist Patricia Calhoun revisit the controversy surrounding Ward Churchill, the University of Colorado, questions surrounding his academic record and the larger battle over free speech. Their conversation turns to a principle both consider fundamental: protecting the First Amendment, even when the speech itself is controversial. From George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of the Little Bighorn to disease reshaping empires and even influencing events surrounding the Louisiana Purchase, the discussion explores how dramatically our understanding of history can change when we dig beneath the familiar version of the story. The conversation eventually comes home to Denver and modern American politics, as callers and Peter debate socialism, government dependency and whether political movements we're seeing today are genuinely new — or simply another turn through an old historical cycle. As Peter puts it, the patterns have been repetitive — and they can happen again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
