Six Years After Denver Burned, Have We Learned Anything?

About this episode

Steffan Tubbs reflects on the Denver riots of 2020 and discusses the implications for current leadership and public trust.

Steffan Tubbs Guest Hosts The Peter Boyles Show -MAY 30, 2026 - Hr. 2:  Six years after the Denver riots of 2020, guest host Steffan Tubbs looks back at one of the most turbulent periods in modern Colorado history and asks a difficult question: could it happen again? Steffan revisits the nights of unrest that followed the death of George Floyd, reflecting on the leadership decisions, law enforcement response, damage to downtown Denver, and the political climate that fueled the chaos. Listeners weigh in with their memories of boarded-up businesses, shattered trust, and concerns about whether today's leaders are prepared if a similar crisis emerges. Earlier in the program, former ICE official John Fabbricatore joins the show to discuss immigration enforcement, public misconceptions about ICE operations, and the ongoing debate surrounding border security.  The conversation also turns to Colorado politics, the governor's race, Victor Marx's campaign, and the future of the Colorado Republican Party. Plus, Steffan previews an upcoming interview with a recently retired law enforcement veteran who completed an unforgettable trek to Everest Base Camp. See omnystudio.com/listener…
