In this Episode, we’re joined by Danielle Lammon, Colorado State Senate candidate challenging Tom Sullivan. Danielle shares her heart for serving Colorado, her approach to leadership, and why she believes it’s time for a different voice at the Capitol. We dive into the policies and principles driving her campaign and what she sees as the biggest challenges facing Colorado families today.
Of course, it wouldn’t be The Daily Carry without talking gear. Danielle brought in a special edition Rambo knife, and we got into the story behind it, and why preparedness and mindset matter just as much as policy.
It’s a conversation about courage, conviction, and stepping up to serve, and we close the episode in prayer for wisdom, strength, and guidance for Colorado’s future.

We also tackle the growing controversy around OpenAI’s ChatGPT, accusations of bias and racism in AI systems, and the broader AI race dominating global headlines. Are today’s leading AI platforms being shaped by ideological agendas? Who controls the future of artificial intelligence, and what values are being programmed into it?
Additionally, we discuss Palantir Technologies moving its headquarters from Colorado to Florida and what that shift could mean economically and politically. We also look ahead at the gubernatorial race in Colorado and what’s at stake for voters.
As always, we close by reminding ourselves that no matter how chaotic the culture or political landscape becomes, our ultimate hope is not in governments, technology, or institutions, but in Jesus Christ. We end the episode in prayer.

In Episode 69 of The Daily Carry Podcast, we sit down with Pastor, Colorado State Representative, and gubernatorial candidate Scott Bottoms for a bold and uncompromising conversation about the spiritual and political crossroads facing our nation.
As a member of the Colorado House of Representatives and a candidate for Governor of Colorado, Scott shares his perspective on global instability, the recent Rhode Island shooting, transgender-related shooting statistics, and the growing influence of woke ideology in American culture and government.

This episode challenges listeners to consider the spiritual state of our country and the urgent need for repentance, both nationally and here at home in Colorado.
We also discuss the upcoming Day of Prayer on May 17 and the announcement to re-dedicate the county to God, calling believers to step into their responsibility in this critical moment.
Ultimately, our conversation centers on the truth that our only lasting hope is found in Jesus Christ, while also recognizing that Christians are called to stand firm, counter corrupt culture, and do their part in the ongoing battle between good and evil.
