| 6/25/26 | ![]() Draining the CO Swamp: $30B Corruption Trails & Tax Overhauls with Scott Bottoms | Is the $20 billion increase in Colorado’s state budget over the last few years a sign of true public investment, or a massive trail of state-sanctioned money laundering? In this episode of Will Carr Speaks, host Will Carr sits down with Colorado State Representative and Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Bottoms to pull back the curtain on deep institutional rot, legislative weaponization, and hidden financial trails.Scott shares his perspective on transitioning from a 35-year pastoral background into the unyielding battlefield of the House of Representatives. He outlines serious allegations of systemic fraud, the protection of trafficking rings, and the quiet redirection of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into unaccountable non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and shadow operations. From detailing his active collaboration with federal investigators to his strategic plans to dismantle the permanent bureaucratic class via strict term limits, Scott provides a raw, unfiltered blueprint for completely auditing the state, permanently wiping out property and income taxes, and breaking what he describes as a Marxist ideological stronghold over the Centennial State.MAIN TOPICS COVERED:The Pastoral Foundation: How 35 years of ministry shape Scott’s approach to constitutional truth and moral accountability in public office.The Legislative Battlefront: Scott detailing his first-hand attempts to pass strict minor trafficking sentences and parental consent medical laws.Federal Investigator Collaboration: Uncovering whistleblower trails and Scott’s work with federal agencies to expose internal state corruption.Dismantling Permanent Bureaucracy: Why un-elected bureaucrats run the show and Scott’s concrete formula for introducing agency term limits.The $30 Billion Corruption Estimate: Partnering with federal fraud-tracking teams to analyze hidden state money laundering pipelines and systemic NGO abuse.The Budget Swell: Pinpointing exactly what accounts for the staggering $20 billion state budget increase since Governor Polis took office.Total Tax Overhaul: Scott's tactical framework to completely abolish both state income tax and property taxes to protect fixed-income citizens.Destruction of Starter Homes: How intentional over-regulation, litigation loopholes, and mandate traps paralyzed the construction of townhomes and condos.The Commutation of Tina Peters: Shifting through the political optics of Governor Polis’s move to commute her sentence and the wider investigations into high-level state actors.Intent of "Separation of Church and State": Debunking modern misinterpretations of historical letters to demand untainted, moral leadership.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Bureaucrats Run the State: True administrative rot sits with un-elected, deep-seated bureaucrats who outlast legislative cycles; reform requires setting strict term limits.Fees Are Hidden Taxes: The state artificially circumvents the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) by burying massive tax increases under the arbitrary nomenclature of "fees".Property Taxes Nullify Home Ownership: Skyrocketing evaluations ensure citizens never truly own their private land, effectively driving vulnerable elder populations into homelessness.Market Deregulation Creates True Affordability: Artificially subsidizing and price-capping select "affordable housing" brackets simply forces private builders to spike prices on remaining stock, destroying the natural starter-home transition.CONNECT WITH SCOTT BOTTOMS:Instagram: @scottbottomsco & @scottbottomsgovX.com: @scottbottomscoCONNECT WITH WILL CARR:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g1MMtCfIC4gl74kdSdrDu?si=13bbe95ae1764df5YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@willcarrspeaksWebsite: https://willcarrspeaks.com/Genesee Nutrition: https://geneseenutrition.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willcarrspeaksX.com: https://x.com/willcarrspeaks | — | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | ![]() Armed Teachers, TABOR Loops & CO’s $1.5B Deficit with Danielle Lammon | Are Colorado’s expanding legislative mandates actually keeping citizens safe, or are they just squeezing out small business owners and everyday taxpayers? In this episode of Will Carr Speaks, host Will Carr sits down with Danielle Lammon, a dedicated conservative community leader and candidate for Colorado State Senate District 27.Danielle strips away the talking points to dissect Colorado’s current trajectory. From firsthand accounts at the shooting range to a deep-dive analysis of state infrastructure, she reveals how a $1.5 billion structural deficit, soaring property taxes, and specialized "enterprise fees" are quietly bypassing voter protections. Together, they challenge anti-gun legislation, advocate for arming trained school staff, and detail exactly how top-heavy school district bureaucracies are failing local classrooms. This hard-hitting episode is a common-sense blueprint for reclaiming local community control, demanding transparency, and restoring the constitutional balance of power in Colorado.MAIN TOPICS COVERED:• The Empowerment of 2A: Personal safety, firearms training, and concealed carry options for women.• Flaws of Anti-Gun Laws: Why restrictive gun regulations fail to deter criminals while disarming citizens.• Securing Classrooms: Moving past "gun-free zones" and exploring programs that train volunteering school staff.• Top-Heavy School Bureaucracy: Declining enrollment contrasted with skyrocketing administrative costs.• The TABOR Loophole: Unpacking Senate Bill 135 and how "enterprise fees" raise billions without voter approval.• Colorado's Deficit: A look at thousands of new state employees and program overspending causing a $1.5B crunch.• Small Business Burden: Intense over-regulation and hidden fees forcing local shops to close.• Transparency Barriers: Auditing how tax dollars reach unaccountable NGOs instead of local needs.• Housing Stagnation: How up to $92,000 in upfront regulatory fees isolates first-time homebuyers.• Local Accountability: Why voter primary turnout determines the balance of political power.💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Disarming Hurts Families: Waiting periods burden law-abiding citizens while criminals ignore the laws.• The Gun-Free Target: Openly posting that trained educators are armed serves as an instant school deterrent.• Tabor Evasion: The state bypasses voter control by labeling standard charges as "enterprise fees."• Bottom-Up Education: True support means funding classroom supplies directly rather than administrative titles.👥 CONNECT:• Guest Website: danielleforsd27.com• Host Website: willcarrspeaks.com• YouTube: @willcarrspeaks• Spotify: Will Carr Speaks• Instagram: @willcarrspeaks• X: @willcarrspeaks• Genesee Nutrition: geneseenutrition.comEnjoyed this episode?

| 6/22/26 | ![]() Regulating Reality: Fed Rate Hacks, AI Agents, and the True Utility of Crypto with XRP Mickle | Are current stock market highs a real sign of structural growth, or are we floating in a macroeconomic bubble? In this episode of Will Carr Speaks, host Will Carr sits down with macroeconomic analyst and crypto expert XRP Mickle to dissect the hidden gears driving global trade, inflation indexes, and the monetary system.They dive into why the Federal Reserve under Chairman Kevin Warsh is shifting away from forward guidance and how the central bank adjusts economic indexes to enforce its policy goals. Together, they explore the geopolitical impact of the Iran conflict, the shifting oil market, and the massive convergence of AI, robotics, and blockchain. Whether you are tracking the crypto market or looking to understand how autonomous AI agents will soon dominate financial transactions, this conversation strips away the chart hype to look at the raw data of our economic future.MAIN TOPICS COVERED:The Death of Forward Guidance: Analyzing Chairman Kevin Warsh’s shift away from predictive clues for future interest rate cuts or hikes.Index Manipulation: How the Federal Reserve recalibrates and weights metrics like housing and energy to justify monetary policy.Geopolitical Oil Pipeline: How the Iran conflict and supply routes like the Strait of Hormuz directly impact the drop in oil prices down to 75.8.Historical Rate Cut Cascades: Reviewing the last 30 years to show why cutting cycles historically trigger a continuous drop toward near-zero rates.The Deflationary AI Force: How massive technological innovation acts as a structural deflationary mechanism across global trade markets.The Convergence Spectrum: Mapping the combination of AI as the brain, robotics as the body, and crypto as the borderless monetary rail.Autonomous AI Agents: Why independent AI systems are projected to outnumber human financial transactions by 2030.Dot-Com Fallacy vs. AI Fundamentals: Contrasting 1990s speculation with the explosive, multi-billion-dollar monthly revenue of modern AI firms.Pre-ChatBTC Era of Crypto: Identifying the current state of institutional crypto adoption as a foundational structural tech build-out.Ripping Out Banking Plumbing: How decentralized finance swaps the legacy back-end infrastructure of global banks for distributed ledgers.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Inflation Oscillates: The Fed's 2% target is an abstract baseline; historically, inflation swings between 2.4% and 2.5%, which is accepted as stable.Sledgehammers Don't Fix Leaks: Using sweeping interest rate hikes to solve microscopic friction points in global supply chains is structurally flawed.Bet on the Bull: Macroeconomic history consistently rewards production and growth over short-term bearish volatility positions.Crypto Success Metrics: Financial institutions look for clear success parameters rather than narratives flipping between a payment vehicle and digital gold.CONNECT WITH THE GUEST:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MickleXRPX (Twitter): https://x.com/xrpmickleCONNECT WITH THE HOST:Website: https://willcarrspeaks.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@willcarrspeaksSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2g1MMtCfIC4gl74kdSdrDu?si=13bbe95ae1764df5Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willcarrspeaksX (Twitter): https://x.com/willcarrspeaksGenesee Nutrition: https://geneseenutrition.com/Enjoyed this episode?

| 6/19/26 | ![]() Decoding Your Reality: Epigenetics, Carb Tolerance, and the Map to Longevity with Dr. Sam Shay | Are you blindly following health trends or guessing your way through nutrition, exercise, and supplementation? In this episode of Will Carr Speaks, host Will Carr sits down with Dr. Sam Shay, DC, a certified functional medicine professional and distributor for FitGenesUSA. Dr. Shay breaks down how functional genetics testing provides a personalized blueprint for your health, revealing why traditional disease tests miss the mark and how prioritizing the core drivers of chronic illness can rewrite your physical reality.They dive into the science of epigenetics, illustrating how lifestyle choices act as a volume knob for your genes rather than a strict on-off switch. Dr. Shay shares his raw journey of pivoting to natural healing after facing childhood chronic illness and massive dietary misalignments. From the biological mechanisms of carb tolerance and caffeine-induced anxiety to the truth behind peptides and over-training, this conversation is an essential guide to unlocking peak structural longevity.MAIN TOPICS COVERED:The Four Types of Genetic Testing: Differences between genealogy, paternity, medical pathology, and functional genetics testing.Epigenetics and the Dial Metaphor: Why your DNA is a collection of dials that shift based on sleep, diet, stress, and community.The Amylase Cannon Framework: Assessing carb tolerance based on gene copy numbers to tailor Keto, Paleo, Mediterranean, or high-carb diets.Childhood Medical Blindspots: Dr. Shay opens up about navigating chronic GI stagnation, emotional neglect, and flawed 1980s dietary advice.The Neuro Spicy Spectrum: Using observational humor to bridge the gap between normies and those navigating Asperger's syndrome.Caffeine-Induced Anxiety Attacks: Exposing how genetic red dots track to chronic insomnia, masquerading a mild panic attack as baseline energy.The Seven Core Drivers of Upstream Illness: Exploring the functional priority list led by inflammation, mitochondrial free radical scavenging, and liver detox.Nutragenomic vs. Nutritional Dosing: High-dose genetic targeting designed to fundamentally alter systemic cellular machinery.The True Histamine Zone: Demystifying the body's emergency flood switch, exercise redness, and reactions to aged foods.Peptides and Triage Mission Creep: The philosophical divide between Western medicine's emergency model and functional medicine's chronic-to-optimal framework.The Genetic Cost of Over-Training: Why intense athletic volume causes hyper-inflamers to retain water weight to dilute internal cellular damage.KEY TAKEAWAYS:You Aren't Stronger Than Bread, But You Are Smarter: Environmental control beats raw willpower. If your markers dictate low satiety, eliminate options entirely from your surroundings.Find the Map Before the Tool: Stop chasing magical bullet supplements, peptides, or extreme dietary dogmas. Evaluate interventions using your personal genetic map.Recovery Must Match Your Fiber Type: Forcing a fast-twitch sprinter into high-volume endurance sports breaks down cellular integrity unless balanced with precise recovery protocols.Red Is a Marker, Not a Failure: Sub-optimal genetic readouts on functional panels are simply parameters. Through intentional modifications, red-dotted expressions can act like green paths.CONNECT WITH THE GUEST:Practitioner Directory: fitgenesusa.comPrivate Clinical Practice: drsamshay.comCONNECT WITH THE HOST:Website: willcarrspeaks.comYouTube: @willcarrspeaksSpotify: Will Carr SpeaksInstagram: @willcarrspeaksX (Twitter): @willcarrspeaksGenesee Nutrition: geneseenutrition.comEnjoyed this episode?

Megan shares her raw journey of recovering from toxic relationships and escaping the trap of using marriage as a checklist for validation.Together, they explore why talk therapy can circle the drain, the absolute necessity of radical vulnerability, and how to transition from a desperate "outside-in" search to an abundant "inside-out" lifestyle. Whether you are navigating the superficial metrics of dating apps or trying to find your footing as a single parent, this episode is a powerful blueprint for crowning yourself, building a rich life, and trusting in divine timing.MAIN TOPICS COVERED:The Outside-In Trap: Why waiting for a partner to finally begin your life or make you feel whole delays true connection and shifts focus away from self-actualization.Coaching vs. Talk Therapy: Breaking down why standard talk therapy can circle past trauma, while future-focused coaching propels you forward out of your comfort zone.Traditional Desires and Personal Talents: Balancing the natural desire for traditional marriage and family roles while simultaneously bringing your soul's gifts out into the world.The Failure of the Boss Babe Mandate: How modern societal expectations overcomplicate fulfillment by forcing women to believe they must do and be everything at all times.Dating App Vetting Over Vanity: Transitioning away from popularity metrics and likes to use apps as intentional vetting tools that repel shallow behavior.The Courage Deficit: Why relationship breakdowns are rarely communication problems, but rather courage problems wrapped in a fear of authentic vulnerability and rejection.Dating Range and Creative Interaction: Ditching the high pressure of standard steakhouse dinners for active, lifestyle-aligned adventures like hiking or paddleboarding.Surrendering Control: Finding peace by letting go of the need to control when, where, or how your life partner shows up, and trusting the desires placed on your heart.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Become Your Own Soulmate: Fulfillment can never be successfully outsourced.

| 3/13/26 | ![]() Betting on Certainty: Risk, Poker, and the Future of Web3 with Rafe Furst | Rafe Furst isn't just a tech veteran; he’s a professional poker player who treats business like the ultimate high-stakes game. From the wild early days of Full Tilt Poker to pioneering the first public "conglomerate" for blockchain technology, Rafe has spent 30 years mastering the art of the calculated bet. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a crypto enthusiast, or someone trying to find your identity beyond your 9-to-5, this episode offers a masterclass in timing, conviction, and building a life fueled by passion rather than just profit.Main Topics Covered1. The Accidental Mogul: How Rafe went from a 12-year-old computer programmer to a catalyst for Full Tilt Poker, one of the largest online poker sites in history.2. The Math of Decision Making: Why the skills required to be a professional poker player—making strategic decisions under inherent uncertainty—are identical to those needed for venture capital and entrepreneurship.3. The "Light Bulb" Moment: Rafe’s first encounter with the Satoshi White Paper in 2010 and how he realized that "inefficient" computing was actually the key to global security.4. Early vs. Too Early: A candid discussion on the "Art of Timing," using The Big Short’s Michael Burry as a cautionary tale for visionaries.5. The Crypto Company Vision: Why Rafe co-founded a public company to give "everyday people" safe access to blockchain and Web3 without the terror of managing private keys alone.6. Identity Beyond the Resume: Why Rafe and Will believe the question "What do you do?" is a conversational trap, and what we should be asking instead.7. The Ultimate Road Trip: The legendary story of Rafe and his "wingman" Phil Gordon spending an entire year in an RV, traveling from Super Bowl to Super Bowl.Key Takeaways1. Risk is Information: Success isn't about avoiding risk, but about making calculated bets with resources when you have 80% of the knowledge and 100% of the conviction.2. The Power of Your Circle: Almost every major breakthrough in Rafe’s life—from online gaming to Bitcoin—came from a friend or a "geeky" community. Who you hang out with determines what you see first.3. Liquidity is the Great De-risker: Traditional venture capital locks money away for a decade; Rafe argues that the future of tech investing lies in providing "aligned expansion capital" with the exit strategy already in mind.4. "Who are you?" over "What do you do?": True connection happens when you define yourself by your values (faith, community, ethics) and your passions (skiing, skydiving) rather than your job title.Connect with Rafe FurstWebsite: rafefurst.comThe Crypto Company: thecryptocompany.com (OTCID: CRCW)Medium: @RafeFurstX (Twitter): @rafefurstConnect with Will CarrWebsite: willcarrspeaks.comYouTube: @willcarrspeaksSpotify: Will Carr SpeaksInstagram: @willcarrspeaksX (Twitter): @willcarrspeaksGenesee Nutrition: geneseenutrition.comEnjoyed this episode?
