Backbone Radio

Paul Revere on air

Slated on Backbone Radio, Apr. 18 Listen every Sunday, 5-8pm on 710 KNUS, Denver... 1460 KZNT, Colorado Springs... and streaming live at 710knus.com.

It was on this night in 1775 that a Boston silversmith rode through the sleeping countryside to warn his fellow patriots the British were coming. Today the danger to liberty is every bit as great, but the alarm may seem less compelling: "The progressives are coming. The socialists are coming. The secularists are coming. The greens are coming. The bureaucrats are coming. The bankruptcy is coming." Too many Americans may answer with a shrug. Yet that's our wakeup call on Backbone Radio, and we'll do all we can to summon minutemen to the constitutional cause. My guests this evening include:

530 John Bolton, Former UN Ambassador

6pm Ralph Reed, head of the Faith and Freedom Coalition

630 Sally Pipes on health care

7pm Attorney General John Suthers

730 Paul Jacob on petition rights and term limits

Please listen in and call in. As much depended on Sam Adams and Paul Revere in their day, much now depends on you and me.

Yours wide awake, JOHN ANDREWS

Bye Bye, Betsy

Andrews writes: Hosting tonight's show will again be the K & K Team, Ross Kaminsky and Krista Kafer. Among their guests is Cory Gardner, the leading Republican challenger to congresswoman and health care flip-flopper Betsy Markey (D-CO4). Kaminsky elaborates: Please join me by listening to (and calling in to) this week’s Backbone Radio program from 5 PM to 8 PM on 710 AM KNUS in Denver. If you’re not in range of the radio waves, you should be able to listen to the show online by clicking HERE. I’ll be joined for the second week in a row by the always interesting Krista Kafer. (It went so well last week!)

We'll talk a little more about the impact of ObamaCare on the nation, including announcements this week by Fortune 500 companies. But beyond the usual stuff that you might have heard on the news, we're going to dig deeper...as always.

During the first hour, we’ll be joined by Connie Hair, politcal reporter for Human Events magazine. She was also been a speechwriter for Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) and is going to give us the fly-on-the-wall view of what the last several weeks has been like in Washington, DC, assuming she hasn't passed out into a week-long exhaustion-induced coma.

As a lead-in to our 6-o’clock guest, we’ll talk a bit about the difference between libertarian and conservative, and perhaps between “small-l” libertarian and “capital-L” Libertarian (i.e. representing a member of the Libertarian Pary.)

In the 6-o’clock hour, we’ll be joined by State Representative Cory Gardner, Republican candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, the seat currently held by Betsy "I was against it before I was for it" Markey, to talk about the news of the week, the state legislature, and his race for Congress.

I'm very pleased to announce that we'll be joined in the 7 PM hour by tormenter-in-chief of liberals, Jason Mattera, whom I had the privilege of working with (while trying to keep a straight face) during the Democratic National Convention. Nobody can make a leftist look more stupid than Jason. In a recent article for Human Events, Jason explains how ObamaCare is particularly bad policy for young adults. We'll also talk about Jason's new book, "Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation", which was just published.

As time permits, we will also make a whirlwind tour of various issues, from "where are the global warming alarmists now?" to President Obama's mistreatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu to whatever relevant topics you, our listeners, call or e-mail or instant message us about.
