Mandy Connell - Weekdays 1pm-4pm on KOA NewsRadio in Denver.

What a GAME! First off, it was an interception, is the evangelical bible missing some key stuff, and celebrate MLK Jr. today.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Ryan Edwards.

ARE EVANGELICALS WORKING FROM AN INCOMPLETE BIBLE? That's what my 1pm guest says. He's a former atheist who decided to do some deep digging that led him to be a believer. His book Canon Crossfire does a deep dive into what he says is missing from Protestant Bibles: the Books of the Apocrypha. Find his book here. Matthew McWhorter joins me at 1 to discuss.

It's an Ask Me Anything Day, we've got a single playoff ticket to giveaway, and Denver Mayoral Candidate Robert Treta joins me.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Ryan Edwards.

DENVER INDEPENDENT MAYORAL CANDIDATE ROBERT TRETA JOINS ME He's running a longshot campaign but he's very interesting so he joins me at 1 to chat. In the last Mayoral election he got 169 votes. I'm going to ask him why this time would be different.

Erin Lee joins me to talk about the ballot initiatives to protect kids and girls sports, the Legislature is underway, and I thought people weren't buying Obamacare.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Rick Lewis.

I'VE GOT SOME BALLOT INITIATIVE UPDATES! And these ballot initiatives are about child predators, irreversible gender care, and girls sports and I hope you've already signed them. Erin Lee from Protect Kids Colorado joins me today at 1 with updates. Find out where you can sign petitions here.

CAN POLIS SAVE US FROM THE WORST IDEAS? Jon Caldara writes about Governor Jared Polis's last year in charge of the clown show that is the overwhelmingly Democrat controlled Legislature. Now that he's fully engaged in running for President, he needs to shore up his fake libertarian credentials so maybe he will veto the worst ideas. Here's hoping he cares more about that than pissing off the progressive Dems who run the show.

The DEA says Tren de Aragua knows we are a sanctuary state, DA Michael Allen is running for Attorney General, and Colorado doesn't care how much green energy costs, don't be poor!

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Shelby Harris.

HOW DO YOU SAY SANCTUARY IN SPANISH? Not only do I have Special Agent in Charge Rocky Mountain Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration David Olesky on about this story from this weekend's paper about gang members knowing we are a sanctuary state, they are also releasing some insane numbers of how many drugs they have taken off the streets lately. Stick around for that at 2:30. If even the drug dealers know we're a sanctuary city I'm guessing the Trump administration is going to include Colorado and Denver when he cuts off federal funds to sanctuary cities and states February 1st. This should be fun to watch. Oh, look, we're on the list. Twice.

DA MICHAEL ALLEN IS RUNNING FOR AG And unlike some of his Democratic opponents he has this thing called "experience" on his side. He joins me at 1 to talk about why he's running and what he brings to the office. Find out more about him by clicking here.

WEATHER WEDNESDAY AT 12:30 And though the weather isn't doing anything dramatic we've got Fox 31's Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser on to talk about the weather.

Just how cool is socialism in Sweden, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments about keeping biological boys out of girl's sports, and Jared Polis talks freedom.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Connor Shreve.

THE SUPREME COURT IS HEARING BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS TODAY And I've got XX-XY Sportswear and girls sports activist Jennifer Sey on today to talk about it at 2:30. Here NBC News does a breezy profile of the trans girl who wants to participate in track and field,without speaking to a single girl who has lost a scholarship or had their faced smashed in by a physically larger male born opponent but I'm sure it's fine.

SWEDEN HAS BEEN MAKING THE ROUNDS LATELY As I see more and more young people tout the "socialism" of the Nordic states as an example of what's possible. Except Sweden isn't a true socialist nation. They are a high tax/high services nation where everyone is required to fork over gobs and gobs of their money to get the services provided by the state. My friend Anna Fingers is from Sweden and has lived here for many years, but I thought I'd have her come on for some straight talk about what life is really like in Sweden. When you hear how much she paid in taxes you're going to be shocked. She and her husband Dave are living the American Dream with their digital marketing business Wired Mustang, which you can find here. She joins me at 1 to discuss.

We are being trained that blackouts are normal and I've got Amy Oliver to talk about it, Iran is the biggest story of the year, and even drug dealers know we are a sanctuary state.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Ryan Edwards.

OUR POWER OUTAGE TRAINING HAS JUST BEGUN And Amy Oliver, who is the co-host of Power Gab on Independence Institute's IITV here, has written a fantastic explainer on the way our monopoly electric company is just getting warmed up when it comes to NOT supplying power. Read it here and get ready for your head to explode when I talk to Amy about it at 1.

IRAN IS AT A TIPPING POINT And it's incredibly hard to find real information about what is happening there but the Mullahs have begun to use deadly force as the protesters began calling for regime change. The people who have been in the streets, most of them young people, have to know that the regime must go or they will all be killed for what they've done. This is such a critical juncture and I'm waiting to see what the rest of the world, including Trump and the US, are going to do. The Useless Nations Secretary General was SHOCKED, SHOCKED I TELL YOU that a murderous regime would kill its own people. Of course he was. He also did a lot of "urging" in his useless statement. Can we stop pretending the UN is useful AT ALL? The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies Iran Program research analyst Janatan Sayeh at 12:30 for more.

It's an Ask Me Anything sort of day, plus are we close to actual regime change in Iran, and we are learning more about the woman killed by HHS.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Mandy's Husband Chuck.

The Consumer Electronics Show is underway with incredible new tech, Michelle Zellner wants to help with your 2026 vision, and RFK says eat real food.

THE LATEST TECH IS ALL OUT AT THE CES The Consumer Electronics Show is underway in Las Vegas and it seems to me from the coverage this year's event is all about robotic tech. We'll find out when I speak with Jennifer Drogus, CTA Vice President of Global Event Communications for the Consumer Electronics Show today at 1. We'll find out what the future of tech is today.
