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.

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.

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.
