Hobbs' Pick, Hall of Fame Week, and New Yuma Plant

Thursday, August 6, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1896, Will “Black Jack” Christian and his High Fives gang botched a bank robbery in Nogales, triggering a manhunt and a series of shootouts.

Some debates polarize a family faster than almost anything else, and this is one of them. Do adult children owe their aging parents care, or is it entirely a choice? Some Americans say kids have a responsibility to step up. But in 29 states, it's more than a moral question. The law can actually force you to pay, and one son learned that the hard way when a court handed him his mother's $93,000 nursing home bill. So where does obligation end and choice begin? Today on The Flyover Podcast, Ayla breaks down both sides of the fight. Tune in here!

What if coal could be transformed into cleaner fuels instead of being burned? Later today, keep an eye out for a message from our partner, Frontieras, about its technology and today's investment deadline.

Today's sponsor is hear.com, introducing AI-powered Horizon IX hearing aids designed to deliver clearer conversations by separating speech from background noise.

Hobbs Eyes Giles as Running Mate

Gov. Katie Hobbs is expected to name former Mesa Mayor John Giles as her lieutenant governor running mate. Her campaign has not confirmed the pick.

Giles led Mesa from 2014 to 2025. A former Republican, he has broken with the GOP before, backing Hobbs in 2022, Joe Biden in 2020, and Kamala Harris in 2024. He also spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

Last week, Republican nominee Andy Biggs named Buckeye dairy farmer and former state Sen. Sine Kerr as his running mate.

Voters created the office of lieutenant governor by approving Proposition 131.

Salad and Go Closes Statewide

Salad and Go served its final customers on Wednesday, shutting all of its 70 drive-thru locations after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Court filings show Boersma Bros. LLC, tied to the founders of Dutch Bros Coffee, agreed to buy the assets with plans to convert the sites to coffee shops, pending approval by a bankruptcy judge.

Salad and Go opened in Gilbert in 2013, moved its headquarters to Coppell, Texas, then relocated back to the Phoenix area in January.

The company cited weak consumer demand, rising costs, past growth missteps, and industry fallout from a July Cyclospora outbreak in which it was not implicated.

Flagstaff Getting Federal Courthouse

A $70 million full-service federal courthouse is under construction in Flagstaff, a project that will save residents from needing to drive to Phoenix for most federal proceedings.

The 50,000-square-foot building sits off Route 66 and is expected to open and begin hearing cases as soon as March. Architects are designing the three-story, stone-clad building to Level III federal security standards, aiming for LEED Silver certification and net-zero energy performance.

Northern Arizona residents now drive two to five hours to the Sandra Day O'Connor courthouse in Phoenix for most federal court proceedings.

Smoke, a Time Capsule, and Deer Pigs

Thursday, August 6, 2026

Good Morning! Today is National Root Beer Float Day. Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is credited with inventing the classic beverage, which he named a “Black Cow Mountain,” in August of 1893. As the story goes, Wisner, then producing a line of soda waters, got the idea by looking at the snow-capped Cow Mountain, which reminded him of a scoop of ice cream.

All 64 Counties Under Smoke Advisories

All 64 of Colorado's counties were under an air quality alert Wednesday as wildfire smoke from Oregon and Washington drifted across state lines.

The smoke combined with higher-than-usual moisture to leave the Front Range hazy after a run of 100-degree days.

State health officials expanded a Monday advisory to cover Rifle, Vail, Aspen, Breckenridge, Fairplay, Cañon City, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, warning of moderate to heavy smoke.

Ozone is compounding the problem along the northern Front Range, and forecasters expect smoky skies to linger a few more days as triple-digit heat returns Friday.

Democrats Target New Red Districts

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added 12 Republican-held seats to its target list Wednesday, bringing the total number of GOP districts in play to 58.

The additions include two Colorado seats—the 3rd District, held by Rep. Jeff Hurd, and the 4th District, held by Rep. Lauren Boebert—both long considered out of reach.

Hurd won by five points in 2024, and an internal poll from Democrat Dwayne Romero showed the race statistically tied. Boebert won by roughly 11 points.

Republicans dismissed the expansion as wishful thinking, and Colorado Democrats separately said they hope to flip four state House seats and one Senate seat to reach supermajorities.

Submissions Open for Time Capsule

Coloradans have until Sept. 10 to submit letters, photographs, and keepsakes to a statewide time capsule that will stay sealed until 2076.

Visit Loveland leads the project, which replaces a much smaller capsule buried during Colorado's 1976 centennial celebration and opened for the sesquicentennial on Aug. 1.

The capsule is a seven-foot section of high-density polyethylene water pipe with 50 cubic feet of space, repurposed from a renovation at The Ranch Events Complex.

A selection committee will review and vacuum-seal submissions before the capsule is buried this fall. It will be opened in 50 years to mark America's 300th and Colorado's 200th anniversaries.
