Colorado Governor Jared Polis defended President Biden by attributing his verbal stumbles to a lifelong stutter. The hosts reject this explanation, playing archival clips from 2014 to argue that Biden's current articulation issues are a recent cognitive decline rather than a speech disability.

Colorado's "Red Flag" law, signed by Governor Jared Polis in 2019, allows for the temporary confiscation of firearms from individuals deemed dangerous. State Senator Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed in the Aurora theater shooting, advocates for the law despite pushback from local sheriffs who view it as unconstitutional. Statistics from the law's first year show approximately 150 petitions filed, leading to weapon seizures in 66 cases, including one involving a man with 59 firearms.

During a C-SPAN hearing, Representative Jared Polis grilled DEA Administrator Michelle Leonhart on the relative health risks of marijuana compared to heroin and methamphetamine. Leonhart repeatedly refused to state that marijuana is less dangerous, insisting that "all illegal drugs are bad." The exchange is highlighted as an example of law enforcement ignoring scientific data.
