Chuck and Julie Show, March 30, 2026

The Chuck and Julie Show, hosted by Emmy-winning journalist Julie Hayden and political commentator Chuck Bonniwell, delivers a blistering critique of election integrity and political corruption in Colorado, focusing on the weaponization of the election system by unelected NGOs and partisan insiders. The episode centers on the resignation of El Paso County Clerk Schleicher from the Colorado County Clerks Association (CCCA), which Ash Epp, an election integrity expert, reveals was driven by external pressure from figures like Matt Crane and Carly Coppice, who allegedly gatekept information and manipulated the association’s role. The hosts argue that the CCCA has become a tool for Democratic establishment control, undermining the nonpartisan nature of elections. They also dissect the sudden political downfall of Democratic rising star Jenna Griswold, suggesting she’s being scapegoated to deflect accountability from deeper systemic corruption within the Secretary of State’s office, where career officials like Chris Beal and Andrew Klein operated with impunity. The discussion extends to broader structural issues: the dangers of mail-in ballot harvesting, the erosion of signature verification, and the influence of outside money from groups like Americans for Prosperity. The hosts express deep concern over the Republican Party’s internal divisions, its reliance on establishment funding, and the threat of jungle primaries that dilute conservative influence. They conclude with a call for transparency, grassroots mobilization, and structural reform to reclaim democratic integrity in Colorado and beyond.
