Governor Jared Polis (seemingly) randomly posts on X his musings about considering clemency for convicted Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, in the wake of Democrat Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis escaping hard time for a similar crime. What is the selfish motivation behind this political calculation? Because we know it's not Polis doing this out of the goodness of his heart.

The few. The proud. Boulder County district attorney Michael Dougherty joins a short list of elected Democrats willing to enter the arena that is RSL, commenting on Secretary of State Jena Griswold's false claim that she presented oral arguments before the Supreme Court of the United States. Both Dougherty and Griswold are running in the Democratic primary for Attorney General.

Griswold contends she argued Colorado's case to keep Donald Trump off of the 2024 primary ballot before SCOTUS, but why would she tell such a provably false tall tale?

In a moment of levity, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the United States is 'going to unleash Chang' on Iran as the course of military operations continues in removing the Islamic regime from power. The phrase is apparently linked to a sword gifted to the former Senator from Florida governor Jeb Bush, which hearkens back to a 2016 Presidential race that W's younger brother would like to forget.

Joining Alicia Garcia and Ryan on a 2A Tuesday, lawyer William Kirk of Washington Gun Law to discuss the legal implications of Colorado's various gun-grab bills and access restrictions for law-abiding gun owners. Kirk attended a protest rally on the steps of the capitol in Denver on Monday with Alicia as three bills were being heard at the General Assembly.

Also, Alicia and Ryan reflect upon Justice Neil Gorsuch's epic line of questioning in oral arguments for U.S. v. Hemani, in which the government is attempting to prohibit 'unlawful users' of drugs or those 'addicted to any controlled substance' from possessing a firearm. Justice Gorsuch cites the 'habitual drunkard' standard, for which many of our Founding Fathers would have fit the definition.

President Trump has staked a tremendous amount of political capital, along with the fickle faith of the American people, on the launching of major military operations in Iran. The ayatollah has been killed as part of an onslaught of airstrikes, along with reports of the death of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So far, it has cost three American service members their lives. Will the cost of war be worth the reward? Ryan breaks down why he feels history will judge Trump kindly as this bold move will pay off in the long run for stability and security in the region.
