Economist Mike O'Donnell joins Dan to discuss the REAL story behind Colorado's 'job creation' numbers, citing growth only in public sector government positions - NOT in the private sector. https://x.com/modonnell/status/1953112254926471447 https://x.com/modonnell/status/1953099472512372939

Callers flood the lines with differing takes on the Trump administration announcement that six states (Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado) will be joining others in banning the use of SNAP benefits to purchase unhealthy food items like sugary drinks.

HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announce a Trump administration plan to prevent the use of SNAP benefits (food stamps) for 'sugary drinks' like Coca-Cola - including here in Colorado. SNAPDan argues this is an infringement on the dignity of low-income Americans, who should be free to obtain whatever grocery items they choose. Ryan spotlights the libertarian argument of a slippery slope in terms of government intervention on where one draws the line between 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' foods - and how are those defined?

Alan Dershowitz incredibly asserts that Jeffrey Epstein doesn't fit the technical definition of a pedophile, because he preferred girls aged 16-17, nor was Epstein a trafficker, because he didn't run girls or women for money. Dan dissects this argument. Dan has ample and literal evidence of why the dog days of summer are here.

When video of Sydney Sweeney blasting a handgun in target practice emerges over the weekend, Dan is reminded of what a dead-eye shot his wife Aimee is. Are women generally better shots than men? 'Michael Bennet' makes an appearance on the show (Ryan's imitation of him, that is), and Dan has a few questions for the Senator from Colorado.

David from California (allegedly) calls in to dispute Dan's take on The Denver Post abandoning all pretense of objective journalism by going on the attack against an X handle (Do Better Denver) which points out inconvenient truths about Denver's decline. Dan takes him on and things get heated.

The Denver Post, in its infinite wisdom and liberal bias, takes up the cause for Mayor Johnston and goes on the attack against three women operating as private citizens behind the X handle 'Do Better Denver.' What could possibly explain this decision on ethical and moral grounds?

Dan goes down the rabbit hole of what goes into naming a child - and what that label will mean for them for the rest of their lives. Ryan and Kelly jump in with their own stories when Dan's mountain retreat experiences an internet outage.

After blowing out the Denver city budget housing the homeless and providing refuge for illegal aliens, Mayor Mike Johnston announces the anticipated layoffs of city employees will begin in mid-August. Dan breaks down why these workers don't seem to matter to 'Diamond Mike.'

Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, joins Dan to discuss his latest op-ed for The Gazette: First safe and clean, then a new stadium. The issue at hand is whether to build, and how to fund, a new stadium for the Denver Broncos. Rep. Jeff Hurd (R, CO-3) has introduced a bill to protect Pope Leo XIV's U.S. citizenship amid legal questions tied to his role as pope and head of state. The Holy Sovereignty Protection Act would bar revoking citizenship from any American elected pope. CatholicVote on X: "Rep.

Ghislaine Maxwell appears to be angling for immunity or a reduction in sentence in exchange for incriminating information on additional child rapists rumored to be on Jeffrey Epstein's client list. Should the Trump Department of Justice make what could be a literal deal with the devil, if it means putting more guilty monsters behind bars?

During a press conference in Boulder on Monday, head football coach Deion Sanders reveals his fight against bladder cancer and inspires with his words of faith. George Brauchler remains incredulous at how the Solomon Galligan attempted kidnapping case is being handled by his counterpart Amy Padden in the 18th judicial district, why is she only going public with comments now? Father Patrick DiLoreto details the canonization process at The Vatican for Kendrick Castillo to be considered for sainthood.

'Kendrick Castillo Way' was dedicated to the young man who sacrificed his life on the day of the horrific STEM school shootings in Highlands Ranch. Now, his parents are seeking sainthood for their son through the canonization process at The Vatican. They join Dan to discuss their journey in this pursuit.

Dan has seen it far too often in his law practice - speed kills. At what speed should Colorado drivers be sentenced to automatic jail time, either on major highways or city streets and county roads?

As pressure mounts for President Trump's Department of Justice to release large portions of the so-called 'Epstein Files,' would it equate to a 'deal with the devil' if the administration makes concessions to convicted and incarcerated child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxewll in exchange for pertinent information on Epstein's client list which leads to other arrests and convictions?
