Ryan Schuiling Live

Following Saturday's GOP governor candidate forum in Greeley, featuring Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell, Rep. Scott Bottoms (R-15), and Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer (R-23), Ryan reflects on their answers and performances to big ticket questions he asked and how they positioned themselves for the primary.

Ryan breaks down the fissure on the right in the radio and podcast sphere between those who have gone off the rails - Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens - and more sane voices like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro.

Rep. Jeff Crank (R, CO-5) joins Ryan with an update on his perspective in Congress, including the fatal shooting by an ICE agent of a former resident in his district - Renee Nicole Good - as well as the veto of Rep.

Also discussed, a controversial 'no' vote by colleague Rep. Gabe Evans (R, CO-8) on a Marjorie Taylor Greene-sponsored bill that would criminalize doctors performing gender reassignment surgeries on minors.

Anderson masterfully weaves Scripture with real-time events, urging Christians to step boldly into their roles amid the storm. For conservative audiences attuned to the battle for America's soul, this book offers fresh ammunition: stories of revival igniting in unexpected places, strategies for cultural engagement, and a reminder that faith-fueled disruption can redirect our nation's trajectory. It's the prophetic roadmap your viewers need to navigate 2025's uncertainties with unshakeable conviction.

As a first-generation American on his mom's side, with his grandparents escaping a communist dictatorship in Yugoslavia to be granted asylum in the United States, Ryan can relate to Venezuelans and their emotional, positive response the Trump Adminstration extracting Nicolas Maduro from power in their home country.
