Zach Jensen, content developer for The Mob Museum - the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement - calls in to discuss the mafia angle to breaking news of the day on FBI accusations of Chauncey Billups being used as a 'face card' to draw in suckers to lose money on a rigged poker game.

Rep. Jeff Crank (R, CO-5) joins Ryan with his perspective from Colorado's 5th Congressional District on the ongoing federal government shutdown, now in its third week.

University of Colorado basketball legend, NBA Finals MVP, and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups was shockingly implicated in a rigged poker game scheme involving four of the five mafia families (Bonana, Gambino, Genovese, Lucchesi) at an FBI press conference held on Thursday. Ryan goes over the initial details in this disturbing developing story involving one of his all-time favorite Detroit Pistons.

Jenifer Waller, CEO of the Colorado Bankers Association, joins Ryan to discuss the proliferation of bank robberies in the state - now ranking it third nationally, behind only California and Illinois. Is there something about laws and policies in these blue states contributing to this scourge of crime?

The craziness of the Left continues as one-time rational Democrat strategist James Carville suggests Trump 'collaborators' should be marched down Pennsylvania Avenue once the President's term ends and spit on.

Keith Anderson, chair of the Weld County Republican Party public relations committee, joins Ryan along with Natalee Tennant - founder of Never Surrender National - to discuss the upcoming Weld County Fall Hoedown with special guest speaker Jimmy Sengenberger. The event takes place from 5:30 to 9:30pm on Saturday, October 25 at A Gathering Place Event Center in LaSalle.

Ryan suggests you know the Left is losing when they pick stranger and more obscure political hills to die on, such as President Trump deciding to add a privately-funded ballroom onto the White House.

Greg Lopez, 2026 Republican candidate for Colorado governor, joins Ryan to discuss his open letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requesting documentation and confirmation on the importation of grey wolves from Canada to Colorado under CITES and ESA authorities.

Citing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA), Greg contends only the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can issue these specific federal authorizations to transport the animals across international borders.

Greg details why this particular issue is so important, as opposition to the reintroduction of wolves has grown stronger in the years since voters approved it as a ballot measure in November 2020. There is growing momentum behind a 2026 ballot measure that would overturn the original Proposition 114.

Guitarist, music director, and original member Al Pitrelli joins Ryan to discuss the return of Trans-Siberian Orchestra to Denver this November as part of their 2025 Winter Tour and the group's upcoming performance in the market, an all-new production entitled 'The Ghosts of Christmas Eve.' Included in their concert will be a 25th anniversary salute to 'Beethoven's Last Night.'

TSO will be at Ball Arena in Denver for two shows on Saturday, November 15th (2:30 and 7:30 PM) and at Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs on Sunday, November 16th (also 2:30 and 7:30 PM).
