Heidi Ganahl, founder of Rocky Mountain Voice and former GOP nominee for Colorado governor, joins Ryan to discuss the latest in the legal saga of Tina Peters and her fight for clemency, concerns about a bat research lab at Colorado State University, anti-ICE protests ratcheting up in Minnesota and whether the same could happen here, and the latest in the 2026 governor's race for the Republican nomination.

We continue listening to President Trump's speech delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Amy Parks joins Ryan with an update on her inspired run for Colorado House District 51, formerly occupied by her long-time partner Hugh McKean - who died tragically of a heart attack in his home in 2022 at the age of 55. She is mounting a primary challenge of embattled current Rep. Ron Weinberg, who has been embroiled in controversy over alleged inappropriate behavior toward female colleagues and associates in the General Assembly.

With the time difference from Davos, Switzerland, President Trump's remarks at the World Economic Forum fall during the live broadcast window of our program, as Ryan sends it out live for the audience to hear DJT's thoughts on the NATO alliance and America's role in it.

Topics covered include the blatant 2A rights infringement outlined in SB25-003 signed into law by Governor Jared Polis, due to take effect on August 1, 2026.

Also, ANOTHER restriction on gun access proposed just this past opening week of the Colorado General Assembly - SB26-004, 'Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order' - looking to further the reach, scope, and impact of red flag laws in the state, how they're applied, and who can petition the court to take gun rights away from our citizens.

Alicia also addresses Republican efforts in the House made by Rep. Brandi Bradley (R-39) and Rep. Max Brooks (R-45) to protect 2A rights with HB26-1021, despite the bill being destined for failure with the current makeup of the General Assembly

Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams checks in with his take on openly hostile legislation toward law enforcement at the local, state, and federal level taking place in the form of newly proposed legislation in SB26-005, 'Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy.' At issue will be litigation 'remedies' for individuals experiencing violations of their Constitutional rights by ICE agents and local/state law enforcement assisting in deportation efforts.

Sheriff Reams also responds to the incendiery, inaccurate rhetoric spouted by House Speaker Julie McCluskie (D-13) on the floor of the General Assembly:

“We are a nation founded by immigrants and social outcasts. Diversity does make our state stronger, and it is un-American for the federal government to use masked vigilantes to arrest, detain, and evict people off the street on the basis of their skin color, language, gender, or very identity.”

Another installment of 'Trump's Hot Takes' brings us to Davos with the President, as he threatens a 200 percent tariff on wine and champagne if French prime minister Emanuel Macron refuses to join his proposed 'Board of Peace.'

Greg Gutfeld skewers liberal Jessica Tarlov on 'The Five' (Fox News), honing in on the issues of 'rescue fantasy' and 'suicidal empathy' among so-called 'AWFULs' (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals).

Rep. Jarvis Caldwell (R-20), new minority leader in the Colorado House, joins Ryan with a preview of coming attractions at the General Assembly as the new session begins. Included in the conversation are more incredibly awful bills already being presented by Democrats: SB26-005, 'Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy'; SB26-018, 'Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors'; SB26-004, 'Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order.'

Also, some incredibly misleading comments from House Speaker Julie McCluskie (D-13):

“We are a nation founded by immigrants and social outcasts. Diversity does make our state stronger, and it is un-American for the federal government to use masked vigilantes to arrest, detain, and evict people off the street on the basis of their skin color, language, gender, or very identity.”

Ryan pushes back on these comments - forcefully.

Nick Ferguson of KOA Sports and Broncos Country Tonight joins Ryan with his reflections on the Broncos' thrilling 33-30 overtime divisional playoff win over the Buffalo Bills, overshadowed by a season-ending ankle injury for quarterback Bo Nix.

Rep. Gabe Evans (R, CO-8) joins the program to discuss Colorado's unsustainable power grid, with Xcel Energy calling for public safety power shutdowns in Northern Colorado. Why is a state so rich in oil and natural gas reserves struggling to provide energy for its citizens?

Chris Rourke, frequent panelist on PBS Denver's 'Colorado Inside Out,' makes her debut appearance on the program as a Monday contributor with Don Lemon in hot water over his 'coverage' of an anti-ICE protest that stormed the services of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Also discussed, her pivotal journalistic work in a 2020 case profiled on 'Dateline NBC,' entitled 'Trouble at the 7-11 Ranch.'

Deborah Flora and Christian Toto help Ryan breakdown several signature series selections in the Taylor Sheridan franchise - Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923 - along with recommendations on which ones you should be watching, or revisit, and which ones may be losing their steam as seasons go along.
