Representative Brandi Bradley (R-39) joins RSL to discuss her recent primary win and the controversy surrounding the former Colorado GOP vice chair, Priscilla Rahn. Rahn had slammed Rep. Bradley at the DougCo assembly for making and sharing a 'ghetto' TikTok video with her Democrat counterpart Rep. Regina English - who happens to be black. Rep. English was also criticized as 'one of the dumbest Democrats down at the capitol.' Brandi shares her perspective on the verbal attack she faced, and felt completely blindsided by, calling it "vile" and "hurtful." She also talks about her conservative values and her commitment to standing up for her constituents, even if it means going against the party line. The conversation touches on the state of the Colorado Republican Party, leadership, and the importance of grassroots efforts. Brandy's passion and conviction shine through as she discusses her vision for the future of Colorado and her role in shaping it by sparring in the arena.

Ryan also breaks down the final installment of our 'Remembering Rush' trilogy for the day, in which Maha Rushie contemplates why Democrats side with Islamofascists in the Middle East and the Palestinian 'cause' of an always elusive 'two state solution.' He focuses on the promise of 'the pursuit of happiness' made by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. This brilliant wording emphasizes that happiness is not guaranteed or assured, but the pursuit of it IS. And it's up to each one of us to seek it and reach it. Not the government.
