Episode #277 Inside New Mexico with Steve Pearce

Former New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce and radio host Derek Underhill share perspectives with young New Mexicans Danielle Hernandez, & Denice Sanchez on the biggest local and national headlines every week!

Discussed in this week's show:

• First, the spotlight is on Elon Musk and his team as they expose jaw-dropping abuses at USAID. From taxpayer dollars funding electric vehicles in Vietnam to transgender clinics in India and even millions going to radical organizations tied to foreign terrorists, you'll be stunned by where your money is really going.
• Steve doesn't hold back as he questions why Democrats are so furious—could this just be the tip of a much larger iceberg?
• What's the real story behind the failed $1.6 billion green energy loan that left taxpayers in the lurch?
• Then, RPNM Chair Amy Barela takes the stage to sound the alarm on a dangerous proposal for semi-open primaries in New Mexico. She warns that this could lock Republicans out of the political system for good, paving the way for ranked-choice voting that could cement a one-party state.
• But that's not all—tensions rise as the discussion turns to President Trump's push to renegotiate the Panama Canal deal. Steve breaks down the high-stakes diplomatic showdown, with the U.S. caught between Panama's cozy ties with China and Trump's demand for fair treatment. Will the U.S. take back control, or is this just the beginning of an international power struggle?
• Then the episode tackles the chaos surrounding ICE raids in Aurora, Colorado, where local media allegedly tipped off violent gang members, putting agents' lives at risk.
