Governor Jared Polis has called for a special session of the Colorado General Assembly to convene in order to address a budget shortfall 'caused' by President Trump's tax cut package in the 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' 

Senator Barb Kirkmeyer (R-23) is an expert on budgetary and financial matters and has quite a different view of the out-of-control spending and TABOR 'work-arounds' authored by Democrats in the majority - and Polis himself. She joins Ryan to discuss the real reasons behind Colorado's current budget crunch.
