Peter Boyles Show Podcast

The Peter Boyles Show - September 12, 2026 HR 4: Peter Boyles opens the phones for a wide-ranging hour centered on the lingering questions surrounding 9/11, Osama bin Laden, Saudi Arabia and the wars that followed.

Peter and callers debate what motivated the attacks, whether Americans have ever been told the full truth, and the controversial decisions surrounding Saddam Hussein and bin Laden. The conversation also digs into George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, the Iraq War and the loss of the national unity that followed 9/11.

The Peter Boyles Show - September 12, 2026 HR 3: Peter talks with Sherri Phillips and Dr. Sharon Hammond of Summer’s Way Foundation about the heartbreaking realities of childhood cancer and the foundation’s mission to fund research and provide support for children and families facing treatment. They discuss the lack of new pediatric cancer treatments, the obstacles keeping promising drugs from reaching patients, and Summer’s Way’s efforts to change that.

The conversation then turns back to 9/11, Saudi Arabia, Osama bin Laden and America’s foreign policy, with Peter and callers debating what really motivated the attacks and how the U.S. response shaped the Middle East.

The Peter Boyles Show - September 12, 2026 HR 2: Peter Boyles talks with MC-1 Foundation president Mark Miller about the 13th annual MC-1 Honor Run, the event’s history following the line-of-duty death of motorcycle officer Dave Baldwin, and this year’s effort to support Aurora canine officer Mark Moore, who was seriously injured in the line of duty. Miller explains the Honor Run ceremony at Columbine High School, the motorcycle ride to Thornton, and how listeners can support the event.

The hour then returns to the 25th anniversary of 9/11, with Peter discussing newly released intelligence, the warnings surrounding the attacks, the Saudi connections to the hijackers, Osama bin Laden’s stated motives, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and what Peter sees as the Bush administration’s misleading claims about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction.

Callers challenge and debate his focus on Saudi Arabia and government accountability, leading to a heated discussion about who supported the hijackers, what America learned from 9/11, and why the unity Americans felt after the attacks disappeared.

The Peter Boyles Show - September 12, 2026 HR 1: On the (day after) 25th anniversary of 9/11, Peter Boyles begins the hour with Jonathan and Deborah Flora, creators of 9/11 Remembered: 25 Years Later, discussing why they made the film, the firsthand stories of firefighters, first responders and Flight 93 passengers, and the importance of remembering the unity Americans experienced in the days after the attacks.

The conversation then turns to what happened to that “9/12 spirit,” with Peter questioning the Bush administration’s explanation of the attacks, the Iraq War and the weapons-of-mass-destruction claims, while examining Osama bin Laden’s stated motives and the role of Saudi Arabia. Peter also discusses the 9/11 families’ continuing efforts to uncover information about possible Saudi connections to the hijackers, the classified 28 pages, newly discussed evidence and ongoing lawsuits.

Callers weigh in on the wars that followed 9/11, bin Laden, the government’s response and the continuing debate over why the attacks happened and what America should remember 25 years later.

The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 4: Peter Boyles discusses Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx after playing audio of Marx describing an encounter with “the devil” and “Satan in person.” A caller who met Marx at the Colorado State Fair shares his impressions of the candidate and what Marx told him about President Trump, his campaign and how he plans to approach policy.

The hour also includes extensive conversations about professional wrestling legends including The Crusher, Baron Von Raschke, Bruno Sammartino, the Iron Sheik and Ric Flair, along with a discussion of George Custer, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, the Ghost Dance and the history of U.S. treatment of Native Americans.

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?

The hour also dives into Colorado’s political fight over Phil Weiser, crime, immigration and COVID-era vaccine mandates, with callers weighing in before Peter doubles down on Victor Marx as his guy and even unveils the perfect campaign slogan: “He’s tough on Demons.”

The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 2: Peter Boyles dives into the bizarre world of Denver politics after Mayor Mike Johnston’s security detail pulled a gun on a man carrying a knife at Union Station, raising the question: what would happen if an ordinary Denver citizen did the same thing?

Then things get even stranger as Peter revisits gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx’s jaw-dropping story about confronting what he says was a demon claiming to be Satan inside a Texas prison, sparking a lively debate with callers over whether Marx really “met the devil.” 

The hour also touches on immigration, the border, the census and political representation, COVID vaccine mandates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and missing money, plus a hilarious detour into the world of Lassie, before Peter appears to make his choice for Colorado governor.

The Peter Boyles Show September 5, 2026 HOUR 1: Peter Boyles takes a wild ride through Colorado politics, starting with the bizarre resurfacing of Republican gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx’s claim that he encountered Satan while leading a Bible study inside a Texas maximum-security youth prison. Peter and his callers debate whether Marx is the answer to Colorado’s political madness—or the ultimate political novelty—as Peter repeatedly asks, “How can it be worse?”

The conversation also turns serious with the Denver mayor’s security detail pulling a gun on a man carrying a knife outside Union Station, raising questions about self-defense, concealed carry and whether the rules are different when it’s the mayor who needs protection.

Plus, callers weigh in on Colorado’s political direction, people leaving the state, crumbling roads, campaign strategy, and plenty of Peter’s musical and pop-culture detours.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 4: Hour 4 continues the debate over Colorado’s governor’s race, with callers weighing Victor Marx, Greg Lopez and the Republican Party’s direction, while Peter Boyles questions whether Colorado conservatives are being forced into an impossible choice in November.

The conversation then turns to privacy and government surveillance, with callers discussing the Fourth Amendment, Flock and other cameras, drones, digital tracking, medical records, cell phones, facial recognition and just how much the government and technology companies can know about ordinary Americans—including whether the idea of a truly private life is already gone.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 3: Peter Boyles and callers take on Colorado’s chaotic governor’s race, debating whether Republicans can support Victor Marx despite concerns about his candidacy, what Greg Lopez’s role means for the election, and whether a Phil Weiser victory would give Democrats unchecked power in Colorado.

The hour also dives into Denver politics and the debate over Israel, Zionism, socialism and the positions of candidates including Melat Kiros, before returning to the growing loss of privacy: from government and corporate surveillance to technology, guns and whether Americans truly have any private life left.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 2: Peter Boyles digs into the Colorado governor’s race with longtime Republican strategist Dick Wadhams, focusing on Victor Marx, Greg Lopez and Phil Weiser—and the growing debate over whether Republicans should support Marx, vote for Lopez as a repudiation of the GOP nominee, or turn to a Libertarian candidate.

The conversation then turns sharply to privacy and surveillance, with callers weighing in on Flock cameras, Halo cameras, automated license-plate readers, facial recognition, data collection, smartphones and health-tracking devices, the Fourth Amendment, the Patriot Act, Palantir and the idea that technology designed for security can also be used against innocent people.

The Peter Boyles Show August 29, 2026 HOUR 1: Do you still have a private life? Peter Boyles and Jon Caldara take a deep dive into the growing surveillance state—from Flock cameras and license-plate tracking to facial recognition, smartphones and the government buying personal data from private companies. The conversation gets uncomfortable as they ask whether Americans have voluntarily surrendered their privacy in exchange for convenience and safety—and whether we're already living in a surveillance state.

Peter also takes on the Colorado governor's race, asking whether Victor Marx is the only viable Republican alternative to Phil Weiser, what role Greg Lopez is playing, and why a Republican candidate skipped a major debate. Callers weigh in with very different views on the candidates, Colorado's direction, and whether it's time to stay and fight or leave the state.

The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 4: Peter Boyles takes calls from listeners reacting to the major stories and political debates covered throughout the morning, with callers offering their own opinions and perspectives on the issues dominating the news.

Peter is also joined by Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams, who shares his firsthand experience at the Northern Border and provides a law-enforcement perspective on what he encountered there, making for a revealing look at an often-overlooked part of the border debate.

The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 3: Peter Boyles examines the rise of Democratic Socialism in America and debates why young voters appear increasingly attracted to it, while callers compare today's political climate with earlier periods of American history and debate capitalism versus socialism.

The hour also dives into the controversy surrounding Colorado Republican gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx and his claims of encountering demons and supernatural phenomena, prompting a larger discussion about the direction of the Colorado Republican Party and the GOP primary. A caller delivers the hour's most startling story, describing an alleged fentanyl exposure while interrupting a robbery in the South Metro area and the lengthy hospitalization that followed. (We have reached out to Douglas County Sheriff's Office for comment, we have received no confirmation as to the accuracy of the callers' claims at this time)

Other topics include Trump and accusations that he is acting like a dictator, Greg Lopez's potential role as a spoiler, Diana DeGette's political future, and the frightening scenario of nuclear war and Colorado's potential vulnerability.

The Peter Boyles Show -Aug 22, 2026 - Hr. 2: Peter Boyles examines the growing appeal of Democratic Socialism, particularly among younger Americans facing soaring costs and an economy where traditional milestones like homeownership and the value of a college degree can feel increasingly out of reach. Peter and callers debate capitalism versus socialism and whether Democratic Socialists could make significant gains in November.

The conversation then turns to Colorado GOP gubernatorial nominee Victor Marx and reports that he claims to have battled reptilian demons, sparking a broader debate over the direction of the Colorado Republican Party, the influence of evangelical politics, and whether the GOP is hurting its own chances at the ballot box.

The hour also features the strange story of the so-called “Castle Rock bag lady,” with Lee, a man who says he has actually seen her, joining Peter in the studio to discuss the mystery.

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.

The Peter Boyles August 15, 2026 HOUR 4: Peter Boyles sits down with former Congressman Tom Tancredo for an extraordinary conversation about faith, politics and the unexpected twists that shaped his life. 

Tancredo tells the never-before-heard-on-radio story of how a sermon about persecuted Christians in Sudan ultimately led him into Congress, into war-torn Sudan with Senator Sam Brownback, and eventually to writing the Sudan Peace Act. 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.

The hour closes with Tancredo taking aim at Colorado's education system, questioning claims that the state ranks No. 1 nationally and arguing that school choice and charter schools are doing more to improve education than the traditional public-school system.

The Peter Boyles Show August 15, 2026 HOUR 3: Peter Boyles and Tom Tancredo take a wild trip through old Denver, from Tancredo's teenage years working at Elitch Gardens to the tragic roller coaster accident involving the son of legendary Channel 7 sportscaster Star Yellen, another fatal accident at the park, and the strange language and traditions of carnival and professional wrestling culture.

The conversation then turns to the mysterious "Bag Lady of Castle Rock," with callers sharing firsthand encounters and confirming that the bizarre local legend is very real, before Peter and Tom revisit the history of Denver's Columbus Day Parade and the controversy surrounding the American Indian Movement.

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.”

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.
