By contrast, former First Lady Michelle Obama delivers a series of tone-deaf remarks complaining about life during her time in the White House. She makes the insufferable Meghan Markle seem charming and relatable by comparison.

One year after metro Denver received half of its usual snowfall over a three day period in early November, we have yet to see our first snow of Fall 2025. As the climate keeps changing, 'climate change' as a theory is a catch-all for any variations in the weather. Which is convenient for those who have used the cause as a fundraising cash cow.

While Ryan acknowledges pollution is bad and we should be stewards of our environment, the thought that humans cause - or can solve - all problems our planet encounters is laughably myopic.

Also, as Democrats fold on the government shutdown and the 60-vote filibuster threshold is met in the Senate to invoke cloture and a floor vote on the stalled continuing resolution, Trump claims another victory and the Left can't figure out why he keeps winning.

Bernadette 'Bernie' Lake, long-time anti-human trafficking advocate, joins Ryan to discuss the abrupt reversal by Fort Lewis College students in approving a Turning Point USA chapter on-campus after initially denying the petition. What prompted the sudden change of heart? Is there a shift happening in favor of conservatives on college campuses after the assassination of Charlie Kirk two months ago today?

In 1981, President Ronald Reagan stood firm against the nation's air traffic controllers striking against the federal government - firing all striking workers after delivering a verbal warning the week before.

With the government shutdown extending into November, flights are now being delayed and cancelled in Denver and throughout the country, as air traffic controllers are being stretched thin. Ryan believes this should be the final straw in turning much of America's air travel industry into privately-owned and run operations hiring their own workers across the board.

Victor Marx skyrocketed to prominence in the 2026 race for governor in Colorado with endorsements from high-profile Republicans like former GOP nominee Heidi Ganahl and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. His mission work focused on saving children from trafficking and abuse around the world serves as his calling card and credentials in a run for high office. 

However, a quick look under the hood of the campaign reveals a couple of eye-opening videos - one posted to his Instagram account, the other an interview with PBS Hawaii from several years ago - outlining a pair of incredible stories.

In the first, he states he is in possession of a vehicle belonging to a man who tried to kill him and was imprisoned for second-degree murder. In the latter, Marx tells a harrowing tale of his stepfather taking him out to a remote house in the woods, where a young Victor was instructed to shoot a man in the back of the head. Instead, his stepfather puts his index finger over Victor's trigger finger and fires a shot which kills the man. The stepfather then buries the dead man and warns Victor not to tell authorities, or he'll be blamed for the murder based on evidence left at the scene - including a gun with Victor's fingerprints on it.

Ryan breaks down these dramatic accounts, with input from texters as well. If true, these stories certainly make Victor Marx... the most interesting man in the 2026 race.

Reviewing Michael Bennet's 'greatest hits' from media appearances and speeches from the floor of the U.S. Senate, Ryan illustrates just how ill-prepared the Colorado Senator is for the rigors of a gubernatorial campaign - but will it matter in a state firmly dedicated to 'vote blue no matter who' with a Colorado GOP still searching for its north star. 

Also, things are getting heated in the Senate as Sen. Jackie Rosen (D-NV) tangles with Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), accusing him and his staff of 'stalking' her and her staff by obtaining their VIN on cars transporting the Nevada senator around D.C. Moreno's claim is that none of his Democratic colleagues have purchased additional safety technologies on said vehicles, for which the Biden administration issued mandates - driving up the price for consumers.
