Victor Marx skyrocketed to prominence in the 2026 race for governor in Colorado with endorsements from high-profile Republicans like former GOP nominee Heidi Ganahl and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. His mission work focused on saving children from trafficking and abuse around the world serves as his calling card and credentials in a run for high office. 

However, a quick look under the hood of the campaign reveals a couple of eye-opening videos - one posted to his Instagram account, the other an interview with PBS Hawaii from several years ago - outlining a pair of incredible stories.

In the first, he states he is in possession of a vehicle belonging to a man who tried to kill him and was imprisoned for second-degree murder. In the latter, Marx tells a harrowing tale of his stepfather taking him out to a remote house in the woods, where a young Victor was instructed to shoot a man in the back of the head. Instead, his stepfather puts his index finger over Victor's trigger finger and fires a shot which kills the man. The stepfather then buries the dead man and warns Victor not to tell authorities, or he'll be blamed for the murder based on evidence left at the scene - including a gun with Victor's fingerprints on it.

Ryan breaks down these dramatic accounts, with input from texters as well. If true, these stories certainly make Victor Marx... the most interesting man in the 2026 race.

Cat makes the point of not making a profit.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It didn't have to because in the world of woke
in Dei, it's a different metric.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
It's not about making money, it's about the virtue.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
It's all performative.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Nobody at all is going teen Vogue's gone, No Where will.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I get my heart?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Eating political opinions and tips on how to cut my
bangs like no one cares.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
No one cares.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
And the most annoying part about modern times is that
this entire current event isn't just that it's being absorbed
and maybe people aren't reading it and that maybe there's
no magazines anymore. That's what the story should have been.
But instead it's all masked as can you believe someone
that might be trans or.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Of color is losing their job?

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, And it's like that isn't even what this is about.
People lose their jobs all the time, But to mask
it as that so you're some sort of victim so
you can play in this weird olympics of a victimhood
is exhausting and that's why we're all tired of it.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yes, it is gone, but it'll be back in New
York for sure.

(01:38):
be attending on Saturday myself. Five seven seven three nine.
The number to text in Sheriff Steve Reames filling in
for Dan kaplis coming up top of the hour four o'clock.
And we've been asking the question these last two days.
Who is Victor Marx? Now he is a firebrand in
the Republican primary running for governor. He's already garnered the

(01:59):
endorsement so former nominee Heidi Ganall and current Congresswoman Lauren Bobert,
two people I have tremendous admiration for. I consider them
personal friends. And they got on board the Victor Marks
train as soon as it came out of the station. Me,
I'm a little more cautious. Well, two things I won't
endorse on air during a primary. I just won't do it. It's

(02:20):
the Rush Limbaugh rule. He is my idol, and he
was always open to whatever candidate would come on his show,
and I thought he handled this deftly and very well.
In the twenty sixteen race, people wanted Rush to endorse
Are you going to endorse Ted Cruz? Are you gonna
endorse Marco Rubio? Are you gonna endorse Donald Trump? And
he just let that play out. Let the chips fall

(02:42):
where they may. Ted Cruz went on his show. I
believe little Marco did doo. That was my guy back
then and Donald Trump. And what Rush was able to
do was thread the needle in the aftermath of that primary,
and it was very contentious primaries. You might recall a
lot of bad blood, bad feelings Donald Trump and the
Bush family. Jeb Bush, Oh, you're a real tough guy,

(03:03):
Jeb You're real tough guy. Now, that's why you're on
the end of the stage just burying Jeb and going
full throttle on his brother w for the war in
I rock that he's always been against, and it really
raised a lot of eyebrows. But I think brought a
lot of people in to a Republican party they thought
they would not be a part of people that were
anti war. Look at all the different diverse opinions he's

(03:26):
brought into his cabinet that.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Never would have been Republicans before.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
RFK Junior, Tulsea Gabbert, just to name a couple, but
those are two prominent ones. Donald Trump has built a
big tent party. That's what we need to do here
in Colorado if we're gonna have any chance of winning.
A fascinating conversation I had at a Willed County event
for his sheriff, Steve Reims, he's running for commissioner there
and twenty third DA George Brockler in attendance that night,

(03:51):
about what will it take to win again here in
Colorado for the Republican Party. And it's not going to
be easy and won't be done overnight, and it's very
difficult to win a statewide race here with the concentration
of population in the Denver Boulder corridor specifically, But you've
got a second college town of significant size. Fort Collins
has gone really, really blue. In Roads have been made

(04:12):
in Pueblo for the Republican Party. We've done a lot
better there than we used to. But a rapa Hole
County is almost a lost cause there's a lot of
people in that county. I live in that county. That
was a county that went for George W. Bush in
two thousand and four. It is blue now and there's
just so many people in it. You'd have to turn
in a Rapahole county. But before you can do that,

(04:33):
you got to hold onto Douglas County. And an enormous
step backward on Tuesday night and the school board election
there swept by left leaning candidates endorsed by the teachers Union.
Terrible night for US. Daniel Jirinsky lost her seat on
the Aurora City Council Tuesday night. That was an area
we thought Aurora's lean and right, Aurora's turning red Rory,

(04:54):
electing Mike Kaufman is mayor, and then we lose Danielle Jerinsky.
So a very sobering night on Tuesday Night for wee Republicans,
and it leads us to Victor Marx. Victor Marx has
yet to appear on this show or on Dan Camplis's program,
although there appear to be conflicting reports that I'm not
aware of that they have booked time with us. If

(05:15):
that is the case, that is news to me. And
I booked those interviews. I exchanged those texts. Heidi ganall
full disclosure and transparency here connected me to the Marx campaign.
I reached out, as they always do, inviting Victor to
come on this program and or with Dan Campliss. That
is an open invitation. That door remains open. I hope

(05:36):
we can have that conversation.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Heck, I just spoke with Tricia Calberracy, and.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I've talked to her off the record, on the record
about her race in the fourth congressional district against Lauren Bobert.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
I happen to like Tricia personally.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I think she's a good person and that she would
be very wise to get a John Fetterman maybe out
here that she is in that political lane center left
that could appeal to unaffiliateds or maybe disaffected Republicans, and
she's got a threat a needle just to compete in
that race. So I have these conversations and I'll have
them with whoever wants to come on the show. It's
just a simple fact of the matter that very few

(06:09):
Democrats will come on. But on the other side of
that coin, what really strikes me as odd is very
few Republicans refuse to come on my show, and if
they do, there's usually a reason why. And I'd like
to find out that reason. So I'll offer you my
analysis to the point that I have it. We have
some sound here and I reviewed a little portion of

(06:31):
this yesterday with Barb Kirkmeyer, who is the chief competition
for Victor Marx. I think from a fundraising standpoint, she's
got the name recognition, She's raised a lot of money.
She has a lot of good people in high places.
You know, they're helping to fund her campaign. That's what
politics is. I like Barb a lot. She comes on
my show. Whenever I ask her, Barb, I text barr Hey, Barb,

(06:51):
want to come on my show? Share Ryan, She comes
on my show. So accessibility and earned media, that's what
we call this. Again, another look behind the curtain here.
Earned media is that which you don't have to pay for.
So a show like this one in which I have
real estate, right, I have real estate to offer up
at no price that any contender, any candidate, any political

(07:13):
figure can come on and have a conversation with me.
There are some ground rules, though. I have some people
that go, okay, tell you, we'd like you to ask
Let's just use Victor Marx in this example. Although this
has not happened, so I'm going to be very clear
about that. But there have been other political figures, maybe
less well versed in the ways of media. I'm talking

(07:33):
like younger staffers, comms directors, that sort of thing in
these days, and these are kids coming right out of college,
going right into being a communications director. Okay, well, we'd
like you to ask them about these issues points A, B,
and C. I'm not here to do an infomercial. I'm
not doing that for you. I'm sorry, this is not
going to happen. Well, okay, you give us a list
of topics, all right now, Well, okay, I'll give you

(07:56):
a very loose template, you know, point issues that I'm
obviously going to talk to the candidate or the political
figure elected official about but I reserve the right if
somebody answers the question a certain way you've heard me
conduct interviews, I'm going to ask a follow up question.
And if somebody decides to go Katie Porter on me,
well that's on them. But we're gonna have an honest

(08:18):
exchange here in much to their credit, whether it's Tricia
or Lauren Bobert or Barb Kirkmeyer or Heidigenall or anybody
else that comes on the show, it's free wheeling. They
know what they're getting into, and I'm going to ask
them whatever they can answer it however they can answer
it not at all, and then I'll move on. But
I'm going to ask the questions, and nobody's gonna tell
me which questions I'm going to ask are not going

(08:40):
to ask.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
So now that we have that out in the open,
we go to the audio.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Here.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I would say the tape, but we don't use tape anymore.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
And this is from a post that Victor Marks put
on Instagram his Insta and it was repurpose, I believe
on Facebook. And this is part one of three in
this story that he's telling. And I'll have brief commentary
in between, but will let you listen to it to
draw your own conclusions.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I mean, I leave this. Some people ask me.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
They're like, hey, some of these things that happened to
you in your life, it's pretty wild, you know, they're
all true. I'm like, unfortunately, yes, And then they're like,
are you exaggerating me?

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Like, you know, I don't think so. Maybe as I
get old enough, I get some details.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
But I here case in point today, I letterally just
got pulled over a police officer.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
It was a good stop, don't get me wrong, it was.
It was a righteous stop.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
But this isn't my vehicle, and I had been at it,
and uh.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
This isn't my vehicle. So he put on for it's
not it's not registered. So I'm literally going.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, okay. So he lets us know that he's in
a vehicle, it's not his own. He's been pulled over.
We don't know for why. He calls it a righteous stop,
and he doesn't have registration for the vehicle. Why are
you driving that vehicle?

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Then?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Whose is it?

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Okay, Well, he gives us some details.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Here, I'm looking to try to find the registration license.
I pull it out, he runs it, Well, it's registered
to a man who tried to kill me. What uh
some of you may remember all that nonsense, and no, God,
I don't trying to kill it point by rage in

(10:39):
this here area.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
So yeah, it's not. It's a little concerning for police.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
When you're driving a vehicle man that tried to kill you,
what is this? What? And I will say he did
look in the back pretty good for a body.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Thank god.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
A Sean appreciates your brother, Shawn Ryan, because I think
he recognized me from the program. And uh, then we
started talking guns. I still got a little citation, but
it is righteous. It's good all you guys. By the way,
that guys who did try to kill me, he's you know, rightly,

(11:19):
so he's in prison.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, let's try to sort this out. Sean Ryan, who
he mentions by name, does a podcast. It's a very
interesting podcast, and I happened to subscribe to it and
listen to it. He's a former US Navy seal and
Blackwater contractor. He's had some very interesting episodes. And apparently
Victor Marx, who you just heard there, knows him personally.
But let's get back to the vehicle. So a guy

(11:42):
tried to kill him and there's some missing pieces to
the puzzle here. Somehow guy tries to kill him point
blank range. It's the guy's vehicle, So if the vehicle
belongs to the guy allegedly that tried to kill Victor
Marx at point blank range, and somehow Victor comes into
possession of this guy's vehicle. But the guy's still alive

(12:05):
and he went to prison. Okay, well, let's get some
more details here then.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
And sadly, when they caught Bell for his thing against me,
there comes the music.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
It was Athelian in the judicial system.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
They let him loose. They had him for second of
her attempted murder, and he got out and his girlfriend
who bailed him out, who everyone said, don't bail.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Him out, don't bel him out, but she did.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
She goes and every thing was, I know, he's I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
It just has influence on me.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
So many, so many women, they guys that are just
complete losers, and they because their emotions are swayed or
they're groomed, whatever the case is. But she bailed him
out and he ended up putting a shotgun to her
face blurr face off and killed her.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Peez, he's in prison, till he dies.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Okay, I feel like I need to clarify this. I
didn't put that music in there. I know I tend
to do gags and bits where I do that. That's
from the video. I had nothing to do with that.
So guy charged second degree murder. I imagine in the incident
with Victor Marx, goes to prison, but is somehow bailed
out paroled. I don't know his prison or jail that

(13:27):
he means here and the girlfriend bails this guy out
that he's accusing of trying to murder himself, Victor, and
then upon getting bailed out, shoots his girlfriend's face off
with a shotgun.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Okay, all of that. That's terrible.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
And if you're presenting this to me on a platter,
I'm going to ask, hmm, how and why, Victor Marx,
did you come into possession of this guy's vehicle? No
matter what happened, Police get involved, right, police investigation, charge
second degree murder, goes through the legal process, gets convicted,
goes to print. Why do you have his vehicle? How

(14:05):
exactly did that air quote scare quotes happen? A lot
of questions coming out of that. This is from earlier
in his political career, or his exploits, his mission work,
his organization. And there's a lot of questions about that too,
just things that we don't know, or things that we
should know, or things that we need to know. But

(14:28):
he spent some time in Hawaii, if I'm not mistaken,
and this is for PBS Hawaii. Now this is just
a context of it. I'm going to run the whole
thing and have a reaction on your side. It's the
story that he's telling about his stepfather.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
He actually that brought me to a house one night
out in the country, early morning, and that brought me.
There's a little wooden house and there's a single light
in it. There's another guy, and there was a hole
in the floor. There's a wooden floor, and then the
whole it that had been dug. And I thought, at

(15:03):
that point, this is what I'm gonna die. And you know,
fear is a different thing when you've been when you've
when you've experienced terror off a wall in your mind
associates it. There's no fight left in me, there's no
just yield him and for him, he was having a
conversation with uh that uh Man, and I remember hearing

(15:26):
the guy say I don't wanna do this anymore. And now,
my stepfather was a he he was a very good communicator.
He made him relax, he said, oh, I understand. When
the guy relaxed, he hit him, pally cracked him and
knocked him unconscious. And he was a fight. He was
a he was a boney drops. He handcuffs him. He

(15:47):
drags him up to this hole, pulls him up on
his knees, handcuffed, and he pulls out a pistol, his pistol.
He said, come, my boy, I'm gonna put the gun
on my head. He said, you're gonna shoot this man,
and uh it raised my hand. And the guy is
somewhat conscious and he sees what's going on, because I

(16:10):
think he thought this was what was gonna happen to me,
and now it's happening to him.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
And uh, I, you.

Speaker 7 (16:21):
Know, I have the pistol to the back of his head,
and I remember trying to pull the trigger and I couldn't.
And I don't know if it was the pounds per
scr inch, you know, seven and uh, but I'm squeezing
and uh and I can't pull it. And then I
feel his hand come over and grab my wrist and

(16:42):
then his right hand comes around and he slipped his
finger over mine, and he presses him toil. The revolver
goes off when the fire that hit the guy in
the back of his head, and uh.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
It killed him.

Speaker 7 (16:54):
And then uh, you know it's he pushed his body
into the home and uh.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
They telling the boy this.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
You know, it's her first kill.

Speaker 7 (17:05):
And he buried him and he but he took that
pistol and wrapped it in a handkerchief, and he said,
if you ever tell anyone what I've done to you,
it doesn't matter how old you get.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
He said, I will tell the police.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
Then you killed this man, and I have the pistol
with your fingerprint on it, and he said, they'll electric
cute you. And I knew what electricution was because he
had done it a few times, and so it stealed
and stilled in me a fear where I never talked
about that until I was an adult. What a horrible thing.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
And your mother didn't know this, any of this stuff
was happening.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
She did not know. So many questions. His stepfather, apparently
some version of Tony Soprano, took him out to an
isolated cabin in the woods something like that with a man.
And I don't know the pretext of this, the context,
if maybe this was a man that was abusing actor.
But then with the gun in Victor's hand, stepfather puts
finger over Victor's finger, trigger, fires, kills the man, shoots

(18:08):
him in the back of the head, buries him in
the hole that he described. Then the stepfather threatens Victor,
if you ever tell anybody, I'm gonna tell him it
was you. Okay. Between that story and the one we
heard about the car, it reminded me of a dose
echis commercial this one. He is the life of parties.
He has never attended.

Speaker 8 (18:29):
If he were to punch you in the face, he
would have to fight off the strong urge to thank him.
Sharks have a week dedicated to him. He is the
most interesting man in the world.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I sais.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Stay thirsty, my friends stay thirsty.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Indeed, well, we need to find out a lot more
about this man, Victor Marx, because he might be the
most interesting man in the world, and he's certainly most
interesting man in this race. After hearing those two stories,
five seven nine. Your text reaction, Jeff Dye joins us
next comedian coming to comedy work South. He was on
Gutfeld last night. We'll talk to him all about it

(19:13):
after this. I'm Ryan Shuley Live.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I got a lot to say about this bobon Zappadami guy. Yeah,
but I feel like I've been too negative on here lately,
so it's time that I started contributing positively.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
If this is the new.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Guy in New York City, I've come up with some
marketing for New York City.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
You know, they tell me if you guys like these.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
New York City, the big government substantized apple.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Pretty good, Pretty good?

Speaker 3 (19:43):
I need one of those.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
New York City, the city that never sleeps. How could
you with all these calls to prayer, I got out
of one New York City finally, the mecca of Mecca.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Pretty good?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Did He scored a direct hit with the second one?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Third one not bad, first one.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Terrible, working his way into a Greg Guttfeld evaluation apparently there,
like Simon cowle might with the three jokes that he
let loose on Gutfeld, the evening program that dominates late night.
Last night, he was on there with Piers Morgan, Tyros
of course and Kat Timp and Jeff Dies coming to

(20:30):
Comedy Work South this weekend. I'll be seeing him late
on Saturday night. Your chance to win tickets to Friday
Night's late show. That'll be a nine to thirty pm
show start time there. And we're expecting a call from
Jeff at any moment now, but in the meantime as
he prepares for a Thursday show tonight, and you can
check that out at comedyworks dot com. Some texts coming

(20:51):
in responding reacting to the Victor Marx audio that we heard,
and again this question. It goes to, boy, did I
turn on the radio at a weird time? I don't
know who this is? And this is weird when you
don't know who we're talking about. Well, it's Victor Marx
and he has made large waves in the Republican primary

(21:11):
race for governor. He has garnered endorsements from the former
nominee last time around, Heidi Ganall, and current Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert.
About as high profile as you can get, and we
want to find out more about him. I'm asking the
question this week. It is a theme. Who is Victor Marx?
Where did he come from? He appears to have dropped
out of the sky from a political standpoint. I even

(21:32):
ran it by Dick Wadhams, who was just on my program.
I'm like, you know, Dick Wadhams has followed politics, I
think longer than I've been alive closely and has been
involved in many races. And this is something that Sheriff
Steve Rains is going to get into in greater detail
during his two hours filling in for dan Kaplace today.
And I asked Dick if this had any kind of
similar reminiscation of reflections I should say on Dan Mays

(21:58):
going back to twenty ten, who was kind of a
self candidate, didn't appear to be properly vetted, and then
there was information discovered about him that tainked his candidacy.
Tom tan Credo comes in, it's a three way race,
Hickenlooper wins out. It was disaster for the Colorado Republican
Party and many might say, including myself, that was the
beginning of the end. The demise of this party in

(22:20):
this state is when Dan Mays with the nominee, but
who did their homework. Dan Mays claimed to be this
superb business intellect. He launched this video with his campaign
on his website, and there were some very interesting factors
that needed to be considered that were not known. He
had filed for bankruptcy and withheld that information from the

(22:41):
Colorado GOP before he earned the nomination a very narrow
race in the primary. He also falsely claimed to have
worked under cover for the Kansas Bureau of Investigations. So
that's like the FEDS, the FBI, but at the state
level in Kansas, that was not true. He said that
he did, he misrepresented that, and he paid out large
fines for campaign finance violations.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
So in light of all those facts.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
And some of the interesting stories from the most interesting
man in the campaign, dose Eki style Victor Marx, were
their similarities and Dick Watdams responded with the following on
Victor Marx, he probably isn't is not the ghost of
Dan Mays, but there is something not quite right about
this guy. This is Wadhams. I think Ganel and Bobert

(23:28):
fell for his evangelical presence and his personal story is compelling.
The calling state government quote ungodly unquote isn't going to
sell with unaffiliated voters who might be inclined to vote
for a Republican, and so far he has not enunciated
a substantive position on roads, education, tabor, energy, or any
other issue. He only cites his quote leadership unquote ability,

(23:53):
which is nice. But voters want to know specifics about
your agenda, and that's what we're looking for here. This
is a guy running for governor needs to be properly vetted,
needs to go through the typical kind of gauntlet of
running media interviews. This is basic. This is basic stuff, folks.
This is friendly media, conservative talk radio. Yours truly, Dan Kaplis.

(24:17):
He has yet to appear on either of those shows.
All the other candidates jump at the chance, whether it's
Greg Lopez, Barbara Kirkmeyer gone down the list because they'd
be foolish not to.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Again, it's earned media, it's free, they don't have to
pay for it.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's their chance to connect with voters, listeners like you,
making their case, telling you who they are. And so
far nothing, but we'll see the door remains open. I
just felt we needed to talk about it, and here
we are.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Ryan.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Where's this recording from? You can find it. It's on
Victor Marx, the first one about he is in possession
of a vehicle that belonged to a guy who tried
to kill him. That's the story. The guy went to
prison or jail, I'm not sure what. He got bailed
out by his girlfriend and I'm thinking he can bail
somebody out of pri and there's some fuzziness there. And

(25:04):
he ended up this alleged second degree murder convict, shooting
her in the face of the shotgun and going back
to prison. But somehow this is the part of the
like Colombo here, like this part doesn't make sense. One
more thing, Why do you have this guy's.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Car at all?

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Why are you driving it? What's the story behind that?
Explain yourself. And then the other one is even more harrowing.
He tells a story, and admittedly I cut out a
portion of it because there's just so much of it
that is from PBS Hawaii. So the first video was
posted to Victor Marx's Instagram is repurpose for Facebook. That's

(25:44):
where I saw a reel of it, and I presented
that to you in the earlier portion of this hour.
The second one is to sit down interview in a
television studio with PBS Hawaii in Honolulu. I'm imagining and
he tells a story about his stepfather taking him out
with this other man.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
And I don't know the context of this.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
And they go to this remote location, a house in
the woods type of deal, a hole that had been
dug sounded like he said, on the floor of the house.
None of this really completely adds up, at least not
to me. Stepfather hands Victor gun gun back of this
guy's head, tells him to shoot him. Victor hesitates. Stepfather
takes control of the gun with Victor's hands still on it,

(26:26):
pushes his finger over Victor's finger, pulls the trigger, shoots
the guy in the back of the head, kills him,
buries him, threatens Victor, and says, if you ever tell anybody,
then I'm just going to tell the police that you
did it, because your fingerprints around the gun. This is
all very surreal. Again, it sounds like an episode of
The Sopranos. But don't take my word for it. These
are readily available. These are publicly accessible online. Ryan, I

(26:50):
thought he was setting up for a joke. I was
left waiting for the punchline that never happened. I don't
know if it's I don't know anything. I'm just presenting
the audio. That's his voice and his words. I didn't
deceptively edit anything out or anything in the music that
you hear at the end of the first video about
he's got the vehicle of the guy that tried to
kill him, and he tells the story about how that
guy got out because his girlfriend was you had this

(27:12):
uh Stockholm syndrome being abused by this guy, but bailed
him out, and then he shot her in the face
of the shotgun. They had this very dramatic music behind that.
I didn't put that music in there that was on
the video. It's Victor Marx, his face, it's his voice,
it's his Instagram feed. These are all things I mean,
I don't have to make any of this out, Brian.

(27:33):
I can't believe anyone endorsed this guy for anything but
prison or a mental institution. Shocked emoji face, Well, I
don't know. This is why you got to vet candidates.
This is what Barb Kirkmeyer talked about yesterday. I could
not agree more. We know who Barb Kirkmeyer is. Okay,
she doesn't have any fanciful stories about being dragged out
in the woods and having her stepfather help her kill
a guy. I don't believe that Barb Kirkmeyer is in

(27:54):
possession of a vehicle of a man that tried to
kill her and then she's driving around in it the
former owners registration. I doubt that Greg Lopez has such stories.
We know all about Greg Lopez, the good, the bad,
and the ugly. I happen to like Greg personally very much.
I think he's a good man. And there's a lot
of great candidates in this race. But there's this mystery man,

(28:15):
right Victor Marx comes out of the sky. Who is
Victor Marx? Who is he? What can we believe about?
All of these stories are concerning if they're true. They're
concerning if they're true. Kyle Clark, the Democratic Party, Michael
Bennet or Phil Wiser, probably Michael Bennett.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
They're gonna use them in ads?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Right now?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Their Apple research has been done for them, not by me.
It's out there. I'd have to dig for this. It
was sent to me and there is on a very
big platform Instagram or PDS Hawaii Online. Didn't have to
look very hard, didn't have to go very far, Ryan,
did you fourd The Victor Marx audio to Heidi and Lauren,
I have it, and now it's going to be out

(28:56):
there on my podcast. So there's that. And say, his
dad's name is Karl Marx. I don't know that his dad.
The last name lends itself to some ironic humor. There's
no doubt about that, and it's a difficult hurdle. It'd
be even more difficult though, you know, let's say zoron
Mamdani was Zorn Marx? I mean, okay, a little too

(29:17):
on the nose there with his policy positions. I'm assuming
Victor Marks running as a Republican does not reflect much
of Karl Marx at all, I would hope. So that's
the sound. W T H says this Texter, this sounds
like a true crime podcast. It certainly did. So your
thoughts five seven, seven, three nine. Going to try to
circle back to Jeff Die when we come back to

(29:39):
close out the program. Share Steve Rheims standing by. He's
filling in for Dan Kaplis. You're locked into Ryan schuling life.
I had a song from our childhood, Sheriff Reemes and
myself both jen Xers going to school around the same time.
A Peche Mode deciding in your youth on the policy
of truth and go back to Dan Mays, because there

(30:02):
I call him this way. There are lies of co mission,
meaning you lie, you know you're lying, you tell a lie,
it was on purpose. But then in Dan Mays's case especially,
there are lies of oh mission, meaning you just happened
to leave out a very pertinent and important detail that
in and of itself is a misrepresentation. So you lie
by oh mission. And Sheriff Steve Reams joins us now

(30:24):
he's filling in for Dan kaplis a simple question for you, Sheriff,
who is Victor Marx. That's a great question. I don't know.

Speaker 9 (30:31):
And obviously when Dan asked for me to fill in
on the show, you know that Victor jumped into the
race actually the same night that I had, you know,
a big fundraiser for my own campaigns. Remember that I
really didn't get a chance to do much digging into
this guy. So I was just doing a little bit
of traveling over the last few days and I thought, well,
you know what, I'm just gonna see what I can find.
And in that video that you played earlier, when he

(30:54):
was in a traffic stop in someone's vehicle, he talked
about being on the Sean Ryan Show. So did a
little digging, and I listened to four and a half
hours of podcast Victor Marx on The Sean Ryan Show.
And I still don't know that much more about him
other than you know, his his I guess Christian ministry
if you will, and his you know, his desire to

(31:15):
save children around the world. But I don't know anything
about why he's running for governor or what brought him
to that moment, or what he's going to do for
the state of Colorado. And I tried to get him
on Dan's show and had a back and forth with
his campaign manager and Victor himself. Actually yesterday, thinking that
he's going to come on Dan's show. He said he was,

(31:36):
he had booked with you and with Dan, but would
still like to come on the show. He told his
campaign manager to make it happen, and then about two
hours later I got a message from his campaign manager saying, no,
we can't get that done.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Well, the waiting continues. Now. You mentioned the Sean Ryan
podcast one episode with Victor marsh with four and a
half hours long.

Speaker 9 (31:55):
No, they broke it into three episode three. Yeah, three
episodes at about hour and a half apiece. Okay, okay,
And I mean there's a lot of there are a
lot of stories among you know, in those four and
a half hours of you know, Victor's work, his self
described work in you know, Christian ministry space, saving children,

(32:15):
his childhood's it's a lot of listening, I'll just put
it that way.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
But where there's a lot of these kind of fairly
outrageous stories that we heard about the vehicle, the guy
that tried to kill him, or the dad taking him
out to the woods to kill a girl.

Speaker 9 (32:27):
So the story about dad taking him out to the
woods is almost verbatim in the Sean Ryan podcast. I
mean it's, you know, the interesting part with both interviewers,
Sean Ryan and the person from the PBS special. Yeah,
they neither of them really interject any questions. There's no
follow up. It's just Victor telling that story.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Okay, Well, we leave it for there for now. Sare
Steve Raims. Thanks for joining me here at the end
of this program. He'll be taking the pilot's chair for
the next two hours, filling in for Dan Kamp liss Well.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Try to circle back with Jeff Dye tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
He is at Comedy Works tonight We are working on
getting him on for Friday's episode, and still getting you
those passes to see him at Comedy Works South. That's
all for me on Ryan Schuling Live

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
