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. 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.

Victor Marx, Demons & the Future of the Colorado GOP

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.
