Stephen L. Miller, host of the Versus Media podcast, joins Ryan with his thoughts, analysis, and reflections on the wild week that was in the wake of President Trump's targeted strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities and reserves, and the resulting tenuous ceasefire between the Islamic republic and Israel that was violated by both parties in its early stages.

Valerie Leal, a parental rights advocate who testified against HB25-1312, comments on a big victory for Camp IdRaHaJe in settling a religious lawsuit fighting for their religious liberty against the controversial new law requiring employers and businesses to accommodate an individual's gender identity in public spaces. What does this mean for other faith-based camps, businesses, and institutions in Colorado?

Val L on X: "I want everyone to remember that that the CDEC made it very clear that they had no intention of notifying parents that their children would be bunked based on gender and not biological sex. All the local heat, partnered with the @ADFLegal lawsuit and @AAGDhillon noting that she" / X

Scott Jennings of CNN takes a timeout from dropping truth bombs on leftists to comment on President Trump dropping precision bombs on Iran's nuclear sites. What does the future hold for Israel and American interests in the Middle East?

Lora Thomas, former DougCo commissioner, opposed establishing 'home rule' in Douglas County from the outset. She joins Ryan (in for Ross) to discuss Douglas County voters agreeing with her overwhelmingly in Tuesday's special election (71.4-28.6%).

Nine years ago today, Led Zeppelin was cleared of copyright infringement by a journey regarding their signature track 'Stairway to Heaven.' Ryan explores the world of songwriting and what constitutes such a violation in the creative arena.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R, CO-4) has worked tirelessly to help pass the Trump agenda in the form of a 'Big, Beautiful Bill' despite resistance from some within the Republican party - including Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) - and holdouts from larger states like New York and California on SALT (State and Local Tax) deductions. 

Lauren joins Ryan to detail how she hopes to help hold a fragile coalition together as the bill awaits changes and passage in the Senate, as well as offer her thoughts on President Trump's military strikes targeting nuclear facilities in Iran and the resulting tenuous ceasefire currently in place between the Islamic regime and Israel.

President Trump, noticeably agitated with both Iran and Israel apparently violating the ceasefire he orchestrated and brokered, drops some terse words for either side in comments made to the media on the White House lawn, 'We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f--- they're doing.' Were this colorful language justified?

Alicia Garcia, co-founder of The 2nd Syndicate, joins Ryan to reflect on the third anniversary of John Hurley's public service and sacrifice in taking down an active shooter before Arvada police mistakenly shot and killed him as well in Old Town Arvada. Alicia would like to make next year's celebration of Hurley's actions bigger and better than ever, starting with our current fight against Colorado's most recent law infringing upon the Second Amendment rights of our citizens (SB25-003).

Breaking down our 'Critiquing Mass Media' classroom session on how quickly and completely Margaret Brennan folded as Face the Nation host in trying to call out Secretary of State Marco Rubio on intelligence reports showing whether or not the supreme leader of Iran directly ordered the weaponization of the country's nuclear reserves. 

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is a solid, principled dude. Ryan likes and admires him. But is the Congressman going too far in his opposition to President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' and military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities?

In real time, Ryan relays the muted Iranian response to President Trump's weekend strikes on three nuclear facilities within Iran (Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan). Trump absolutely does have the authority under the Constitution to authorize those attacks as commander-in-chief. We reveal the last time Congress actually authorized an official declaration of war on behalf of the United States - and it's only happened a handful of times in our nation's history.

Ryan spells out how President Trump has earned our trust, and benefit of the doubt, on when and how and whether to use the American military in missions worldwide - including a potential strike in Iran.

President Biden's supposed 81 million votes garnered in the 2020 election has never made logical sense, and Ryan spells out the specific reasons why it's even more unbelievable than you may think.

President Trump delivers a hilarious moment at the ceremony 'lifting' a new flagpole on the White House front lawn.

Also, our Friday Fool of the Week is revealed...

Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers an unexpected response to Joy Behar on The View abou thow proud her is to be an American immigrant - and citizen - and adds that immigrants owe the United States a tremendous debt of gratitude, because they are guests in this country.

Stephen Colbert continues to appeal to the lowest common denominator of his mundane and dwindling fanbase with trite tropes about President Trump saying there were 'good people on both sides' and only becoming a Nazi sympathizer in 2017 at Charlottesville.

Meanwhile, Season Two of 'Tires' hits Netflix with Shane Gillis starring and Thomas Haden Church being introduced as his father on the show. Gillis has figured out the magic of bringing Trump supporters into the fold without alienating other fans who may not be fond of the President.

Also, our Fool of the Week nominees are narrowed from six to three: Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), Whoopi Goldberg, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Randi Weingarten, Ana Navarro... and surprise nominee, Tucker Carlson.

Further examination of Michael Brown's thesis that Juneteenth as a federal holiday was deeply seeded in Marxist motives looking to undermine American history, tradition, and the celebration of our founding as a country.

Nick Ferguson, former Denver Broncos safety and current KOA host on Broncos Country Tonight, joins Ryan to provide his unique perspective on Juneteenth and the state of American politics and race relations in 2025.

Explainer-What Is Juneteenth and When Did It Become a US Federal Holiday?

In a powerful and important opening segment and hour, Michael Brown outlines the history of Juneteenth and the groundswell of support behind making it a federal holiday. The motives may not be what they appear to be.

Denver has a 250 million dollar budget deficit and is strongly considering massive layoffs and furloughs, rather than making any cuts to the endless 'investment' in public housing for the homeless - which is delivering little, if any, return on that 'investment.'
