>>> HI I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY JANUARY 20TH, 2023.

WE ARE WRAPPING UP WEEK TWO.

THERE WERE A LOT OF POP CULTURE SHOUTOUTS THIS WEEK.

IT WAS ANOTHER WEEK OF SNOW AS WE ALL KNOW.

OUR LAWMAKERS HAD A SNOW DAY.

NO MATTER WHAT THE CONDITIONS, OUR PANEL WAS WORKING HARD FOR YOU THIS WEEK.

WE HAVE PATTY CALHOUN FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.

KRISTA KAFER COLUMNIST OF THE DENVER POST.

AND ALSO MARRIANNE GOODLAND.

AT THE START OF GOVERNOR POLIS STATE ON TUESDAY HE TALKED ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER LISTENING TO ALL IDEAS.

HE MADE A JAB AT THE TOP OF THE REMARKS WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE SHAPE OF OUR STATE BEING SQUARE AND THE COLOR OF OUR STATE IT IS NOT SO MUCH RED LATELY.

WILL WE SEE THE HARMONIOUS RAINBOW?

>> HE HOOKED A LOT OF THIS SPEECH TO THE 150th ANNIVERSARY COMING UP IN 2026 WHEN WE WOULD BE COLORADO FOR ALL.

IF YOU LOOKED EARLY ON IN THAT SPEECH HE TALKED HE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS INCLUSIVE.

THAT WE GIVE WOMEN'S CHOICE.

AND ALSO THE MIGRANTS.

HE HAD EVERYTHING IN THAT SPEECH INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK.

WHAT WAS THE CROWD PLEASER WAS THE POP CULTURE REFERENCES.

HE MANAGED TO GET LORD OF THE RINGS.

BUT THE QUENCHER WAS YODA.

SO HE WANTS TO BRING ALL OF COLORADO TOGETHER.

IN APPRECIATE OF THE FACT YOU HAVE A SQUARE GOVERNOR.

>> FOR OUR SQUARE STATE.

THE IMPRESSION WAS QUITE IMPRESSIVE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS IMPRESSED.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING TOOK UP A LOT WHAT THE GOVERNOR HAD TO SAY.

HE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE CONVERSATION OF AFFORDABILITY.

>> IT IS A BIG ISSUE.

I BOUGHT MY HOUSE 15 YEARS AGO WHICH IS WORTH CONSIDERABLE TODAY.

SO IT IS A BIG ISSUE.

I THINK HE IS RIGHT THAT ZONING ISSUES AND REGULATIONS CAN PREVENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THE PROBLEM IS THOUGH, ZONING POLICIES AND REGULATORY POLICIES ARE LOCAL LEVEL DECISIONS.

I WOULD HATE FOR THE STATE TO COME IN AND USE OF THAT.

I THINK HE CAN USE SAYING WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THESE REGULATIONS THAT WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE.

I WOULD LIKE HIM TO DENOUNCE RENT CONTROL.

RENT CONTROL CAN MAKE THINGS WORSE.

THE OTHER THING IS AT WHAT PRICE?

IF OTHER HOMEOWNERS, RENTERS ARE PICKING UP THE TAB ARE THEY TRULY FAIR.

>> HE WANTS A SOLUTION YESTERDAY.

HE IS SUPPORTING THE IDEA OF MODULAR HOMES.

>> HE DIDN'T WANT A SOLUTION YESTERDAY.

IF IT WAS YESTERDAY HE WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN 75 MINUTES FOR THE ENTIRE THING.

AS I WATCHED HIM ON THAT DAY, I WAS IMPRESSED HOW STRONG GOVERNOR JARED POLIS HAS BECOMED AND HOW MUCH IN COMMAND IS NOW.

OBVIOUSLY, COVID DOES A LOT TO SORT OF BOOST HIS PRESENCE, BOOST HIS COMMAND, BOOST HIS STRENGTH.

THIS IS A GUY WHO IS IN CHARGE.

AT THE HOUSING THERE OUGHT TO BE MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS.

ULTIMATELY IT NEEDS TO BE ABOUT SUPPLY AS KRISTA MENTIONED.

IT NEEDS ABOUT INCREASING THE STALK.

THE DEMAND IS HIGH.

YOU NEED TO MEET WITH ADEQUATE SUPPLY.

THESE NEW PROGRAMS HE IS ANNOUNCING, ARE THEY COMING OUT OF THE 300 MILLION THAT JUST PASSED IN PROPOSITION 123 LAST YEAR OR IS THIS MONEY ADDED TO THE EQUATION?

LET'S HOPE IT WORKS.

THERE WILL NOT BE ANY SINGLE MAGIC STICK.

>> IS THIS PART OF THE PLAN?

ALL THAT MONEY?

THERE WAS A LOT KIND OF THROWN OUT ABOUT THE DIFFERENT WAYS WE SHOULD BE TACKLING.

CAN WE DO IT ALL?

>> I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DO IT ALL.

THERE IS ALREADY MOVEMENT IN SOME OF THIS.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR IN HIS BUDGET PROPOSAL.

CDOT HAS THIS PROPERTY IN AN AREA IN BETWEEN VEIL AND EAGLE VEIL AREA.

SO STATE LANDS, YES, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY DOABLE.

I THINK THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW HE GETS -- TO KRISTA'S POINT, HOW TO GET THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO BUY IN ON THIS.

I HEARD IDEAS OF REGIONAL COOPERATION.

TO GET THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO GIVE UP THEIR RIGHTS ABOUT ZONING, ABOUT BUILDING CODES.

RIGHT NOW THE TRADE ASSOCIATIONS FOR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND COLORADO COUNTY'S INC. ARE TRYING TO TALK PIECE WITH THE GOVERNOR.

WE ARE WILLING TO WORK AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT HIM.

I'M HEARING FROM COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THEY ARE REALLY NOT CRAZY ABOUT THIS IDEA.

OF GIVING UP THEIR AUTHORITY ON THESE AREAS.

>> OKAY.

>> LAST SATURDAY, WAS THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THE SIGNING OF THE TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS OF COLORADO.

OR TABOR.

IT LIMITS THE AMOUNT THE STATE GOVERNMENT CAN SPEND AND REQUIRES WE ALL GET REFUNDS WHEN THERE ARE A SURPLUS.

WE NEED BIG IMPROVEMENTS OF EDUCATION.

THERE IS THIS BILL ASKING ALL OF US GETTING RID OF OUR TABOR REFUNDS SO THE STATE CAN SEND MORE MONEY TO THE TEACHERS AND MAKE IT BETTER.

>> LOOK YOU ARE GETTING MONEY BACK FROM TABOR.

WE ARE DOING YOU A FAVOR.

OF COURSE, THEY ARE NOT DOING US A FAVOR.

IT IS THE LAW.

IS THIS GROUNDHOG DAY.

I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.

PROP CC JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO ADVOCATES OF HIGH TAXES PUT THAT FORWARD.

LET'S PUT THESE REFUNDS, YOUR REFUNDS TO THESE PURPOSES INCLUDING EDUCATION AND IT FLOPPED.

NOW THEY ARE DOING IT AGAIN.

WE ARE GOING TO SPEND THIS MONEY ON EDUCATION.

ALREADY THE GENERAL BUDGET GOES -- QUITE A BIT OF THAT GOES TO EDUCATION.

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SPEND MONEY ON LOCAL EDUCATION.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CHIPS IN A BUNCH.

SO TO COME BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS AND SAY WE WANT MORE.

MY QUESTION IS YOU HAVE A LOT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH IT?

ESPECIALLY WE HAVE DECLINING ENROLLMENT.

USE THAT MONEY, USE IT WELL AND GIVE ME BACK MY TABOR REFOUND.

>> THE GOVERNOR HAS NOT BEEN SO VOCAL ABOUT IT.

THIS IDEA WOULD GO TO THE VOTERS.

>> IT ABSOLUTELY WOULD GO TO THE VOTERS.

QUITE FRANKLY GOOD LUCK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PUSHING THIS.

IN THE WAY OF TAKING THE ENTIRE REFUND.

IF THEY WANT TO CHIP OFF A LITTLE BIT FINE LET'S HAVE THAT DISCUSSION AND DIALOGUE.

BUT TO TAKE THE ENTIRE REFUND.

THEY ARE ALMOST VICTIMS OF THEIR OWN RHETORIC A YEAR AGO.

THEY ARE VICTIMS OF THE REFUND A YEAR AGO.

IF WE WERE USED TO GET $20 $30 REFUND.

THAT IS A FEW CUPS OF COFFEE.

FOR MOST COLORADOANS THE OVERWHELMING SHARE OF COLORADOANS THAT IS REAL MONEY.

NOW YOU ARE PROPOSE TAKING THAT AWAY LOCK, STOCK, AND BARREL.

THE PROBLEM IS NO ONE ARGUES THAT TEACHERS AS A WHOLE ARE UNDERPAID AND DESERVE COMPENSATION.

THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME VARIATED COMPENSATION AND NOT JUST ACROSS THE BOARD.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO PUT THIS MUCH MONEY IN EDUCATION YOU WILL DO IT FOR IMPROVED PRODUCT.

AS I STARTED, GOOD LUCK TO THEM IN TRYING TO GET PAST THE VOTERS.

>> IT APPEARS THAT HERE ARE SOME DEMOCRATIC LEADERS PROPOSING THIS.

THE GOVERNOR IS BEING QUIET.

IS THIS SETTING UP STRUGGLES THE GOVERNOR AND SOME OF THE LEADERS?

>> AT THE MOMENT I CAN SEE IT GROWING.

>> OKAY.

>> IT ISN'T JUST ABOUT THIS ONE PARTICULAR BILL.

WE ARE HEARING A NUMBER OF BILLS THAT THE GOVERNOR IS ALLEGEDLY NOT IN FAVOR OF.

THERE IS A SECOND TABOR REFUND BILL.

WE DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THAT ONE YET.

WE ARE HEARING THE GOVERNOR IS NOT CRAZY ABOUT IT.

THEN WE HAVE A THIRD BILL CALLED THE FAIR WORKWEEK BILL THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ONES IN THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE ARE SCHEDULED.

THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW EMPLOYEERS TO PAY THEIR WORKERS AND SEND THEM HOME.

THIS IS COMMON IN THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY AS WELL.

IF YOU ARE SCHEDULED FOR EIGHT HOURS YOU GET PAID FOR EIGHT HOURS.

THE GOVERNOR DOESN'T LIKE THAT ONE EITHER.

>> THE RESTAURANT MIGHT NOT HAVE OPENED BUT THE PEOPLE SCHEDULED BE PAID.

>> WOULD HAVE GOTTEN PAID.

THAT IS CORRECT.

>> IT HAS BEEN A WEEK, RIGHT?

PATTY GOVERNOR POLIS HAS RECOGNIZED IN THIS SPEECH THERE ARE FEWER PEOPLE LOOKING FOR POST SECONDARY EDUCATION.

ENROLLMENT IS DOWN IN COLORADO SCHOOLS EXCEPT IN EL PASO COUNTIES.

>> WE HAVE HAD PROPOSALS BEFORE EARLIER.

THE WHOLE TABOR ISSUE WAS 30 YEARS AGO WHEN THAT PASSED COLORADO VOTERS PASSED IT.

PEOPLE THOUGHT THE SKY WAS FALLING.

THAT COLORADO WOULD NOT SURVIVE.

IF YOU TAKE THE RIGHT OF VOTERS TO PASS TAX INCREASES WHICH HAS COME UP AS A PROPOSAL AGAIN.

UNDER TABOR WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR TAX INCREASES.

IF YOU TAKE AWAY ALL REFUNDS TO SEND THEM TO EDUCATION WITHOUT EXPLAINING WHERE IT IS GOING.

WITHOUT EXPLAINING HELPING KIDS WHO SHOULDN'T GO TO COLLEGE.

IF YOU CAN'T COME UP WITH A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR IT.

YOU WILL FIND PEOPLE VERY UPSET AT THE POLLS.

IT IS NOT GOING TO HELP TWO YEARS FROM NOW WHEN ELECTION ROLLS AROUND.

>> WHAT WAS MESSING IN THE STATE?

WHAT DID WE NOT HEAR FROM GOVERNOR POLIS.

DID ANYTHING JUMP OUT AT YOU.

>> WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE FISHING INDUSTRY THAT WOULD BE RELEVANT OR A DEEP HARBOR IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.

IT WAS NOT FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDACY.

WE WILL SEE IF IT IS IN THE FUTURE OR NOT.

I KNOW THERE ARE CRITICS ON THE PROGRESSIVE SIDE WHO WANTED POLIS TO BE OUT THERE AND FAVOR AN ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.

THAT WAS ABSENT FROM THE SPEECH.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT HE PUT ALL HIS CHIPS ON STRENGTHENING THE RED FLAG LAW.

I DON'T LOOK AT THOSE AS EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS.

JARED POLIS WILL HAVE TO RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL IN SOME OF THESE ISSUES.

THE FACT THAT HE IS NOT EMBRACING THAT, TELLS ME HE IS LOOKING TOWARDS A NATIONAL AUDIENCE THAN A COLORADO AUDIENCE.

>> WHAT WERE YOU SURPRISED ABOUT?

>> I HEARD A LOT OF FUSSING HE DIDN'T MENTION AG.

THE ONE THING I NOTICE HE LEFT IT OUT OF HIS LAST FOUR SPEECHES.

THE LAST TIME HE TALKED ABOUT IT WAS FIRST STATE OF ADDRESS IN 2019.

THE OTHER THING THAT WAS RAISED BY A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THERE WAS NOTHING SOMETHING ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS.

YOU STILL HAVE WORKFORCE SHORTAGES.

YOU HAVE SUPPLY CHANGE ISSUES.

GOT LEFT OUT OF THE SPEECH.

>> WE USED TO BE A HUB NATIONWIDE TO GO TO START BUSINESS.

ISN'T AG OUR NUMBER ONE.

>> NUMBER TWO.

NUMBER TWO.

AND I TALKED TO THE GOVERNOR ABOUT THIS LATER IN THE DAY.

I ASKED HIM WHAT ROLE AGRICULTURE WOULD PLAY IN THE 150th CELEBRATION?

HE WAS PERFECTLY IT IS OUR NUMBER TWO INDUSTRY AND IT IS IMPORTANT.

THAT WAS KIND OF THE END OF IT.

>> PATTY?

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM ALL REGIONS.

WE WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT AG.

THERE IS ONE REFERENCE TO COLORADO AGRICULTURE.

I WASN'T SURPRISED WHAT HE HAD COME THROUGH.

HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TWO YEARS FROM NOW.

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THREE YEARS AGO.

WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR FIRST CASE OF COVID.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT WASHINGTON.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE SHOOTINGS IN BOULDER.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE SHOOTINGS AT CLUB Q.

HE WAS TRYING TO PUT A POSITIVE SPIN.

MAYBE IT WAS TO LOOK NATIONALLY AND LOOK TO THE FUTURE DOWN THE LINE THERE.

BUT HE DIDN'T REALLY DO MUCH OF THE LAST THREE YEARS.

AND SMALL BUSINESS IS A FACTOR OF THAT.

PEOPLE ARE HURTING.

>> THEY ARE.

>> I'M GLAD THAT HE IS OPEN TO BOTH INCOME TAX AND PROPERTY TAX.

WHAT I WOULD LIKED TO HAVE HEARD IS MORE ON THAT.

THE LEGISLATURE IS SO FAR TO THE LEFT, I THINK THEY NEED A SIGNIFICANT NUDGE IN THAT DIRECTION ESPECIALLY GIVEN SOME OF THEM ARE THINKING ABOUT REPEALING TABOR REFUNDS.

THEY WANT TO GO ON IN A DIFFERENT ELECTION.

SO HE, I THINK HE HAS A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT THE -- THEY WANT.

I WOULD HAVE ALSO LIKED TO HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HOW HE IS GOING TO BOOST SUPPORT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

LAW ENFORCEMENT IS DEPLETED RIGHT NOW.

PART OF THAT IS THE CONSTANT DENUNCIATION OF THE FAR LEFT.

THE FACT THAT THE SAME POLITICIANS DID NOT HAVE THE BACKS OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT DURING THE 2020 RIOTS.

NOT ONLY DO WE NEED TO SEE FUNDING BUT WE ALSO NEED TO SEE JUST MORAL SUPPORT.

TO SAY HEY, WE SUPPORT YOU.

WE SUPPORT AS YOU TRY TO TACKLE OUR HIGH LEVEL OF PROPERTY CRIME AND OTHER THINGS GOING ON.

>> WE SUPPORT YOU.

BEFORE THE START OF THE SESSION, IT WAS LOOKING LIKE WOMEN WOULD HAVE THE MAJORITY WHEN IT COMES TO THE LEGISLATURE WITH 51 WOMEN TO 49 MEN.

BUT THEN REPRESENTATIVE TRACY BERNETT.

WHEN WILL WE KNOW WHO TAKES YOUR SPOT?

WHO IS IN THE RUNNING?

WILL WOMEN HANG IN THAT MAJORITY?

>> IT IS POSSIBLE.

JANUARY 28TH ON SATURDAY, THE HOUSE DISTRICT 12 WILL HOLD A VIRTUAL MEETING TO PICK HER SUCCESSOR.

IT WILL BE LIVE STREAMED IN THE BOULDER'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

THEY WILL HOLD A FORUM FOR THE CANDIDATE.

WE HAVE SEVEN DECLARED CANDIDATES.

I'M TOLD THERE COULD BE MORE COMING.

DAVID IS PROBABLY THE FEATURE PERSON IN THAT GROUP.

WE HAVE THREE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HOLD ELECTED OFFICE.

WE HAVE A WOMEN WHO SITS ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

WE HAVE SOMEONE ON THE LOUISVILLE TOWN COUNCIL WHO IS RUNNING.

FOUR OF THOSE SEVEN ARE WOMEN.

IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE A WOMEN MAJORITY LEGISLATURE.

>> LET ME ASK ALSO, PATTY, THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO RUN FOR DENVER MAYOR.

ONE DECIDED TO GET OUT.

WHERE DO WE STAND AT?

>> WE WON'T REALLY KNOW BECAUSE WE HAD THE BALLOTS TURNED IN THURSDAY.

WE HAVE TO GET 300 SIGNATURES.

THEY ARE NOT THAT HARD TO GET.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF DROPOUTS.

WE WILL HAVE MORE PEOPLE WHO DON'T MAKE THE FINAL BALLOT.

WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE BALLOT THAT MAYBE DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT TO PUSH IT.

BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE CROWDED FIELD EVEN THEN UP IN BOULDER TO REPLACE THE DISGRACE REPRESENTATIVE WHO GOT BOOTED WHO DECIDED TO GO AT THE LAST 11th HOUR.

WHAT WILL WE SEE?

WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE AT LEAST 20 PEOPLE WHO GO INTO MARCH.

THEY WILL BE FINAL ON APRIL 4TH.

>> BALLOT GO OUT MARCH 14TH.

>> ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH.

>> WHO WILL BE THE NEXT COLORADO GOP.

HOW IS THAT GOING TO SHAKE OUT?

I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE NAMES IN THE RUNNING.

WHEN DO WE KNOW?

>> IT WILL BE IN, LET'S SEE, I THINK IT IS APRIL.

I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN.

THE FACT IS WE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE RUNNING.

HOW DO YOU RECRUIT FOR A JOB NO ONE WANTS?

IT IS A THANK LESS JOB.

SO FAR WE HAVE GOTTEN FRINGY AND FRINGIER.

LOST IN THREE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

THAT IS EXPERIENCE, JUST NOT THE EXPERIENCE WE NEED.

TINA PETERS OF THE BOOT BARN GANG.

SO IT IS UNFORTUNATE.

WE NEED SOMEBODY WHO IS SMART, WHO IS A UNITER.

WHO CAN PUT THE TRUMP PASS.

YOU BETTER PUT YOUR HAT IN THE RING.

>> YOU ARE CALLING THEM OUT.

ERIC, WHICH OF THESE RACES INTEREST YOU THE MOST?

>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE DENVER MAYORAL RACE.

IF THREE OF YOU WOULD RESIGN FROM THIS TABLE THEN WE WOULD BE BACK TO 50/50.

>> WE ARE NOT MOVING.

>> IN TERMS OF DENVER MAYOR'S RACE.

THIS RACE IS GOING TO PICK UP INTENSITY.

BALANCE GO OUT IN LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS.

THE ELECTION IS 11 WEEKS AWAY IN TERMS WHEN THEY ARE COUNTED.

WE WON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY CANDIDATES QUALIFY FOR THE BALLOT.

LET'S CALL IT ROUND TWO DOZEN.

MAYBE AS MANY AS 27.

SOMEWHERE IN THE TWO DOZEN RANGE.

I COUNT MAYBE NINE OR TEN OF THOSE CANDIDATES AS PEOPLE I REGARD AS SERIOUS WHO CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE SOME PLAUSIBLE PAST.

THAT IS A HUGE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES.

LET'S SAY ALL THOSE FRINGY CANDIDATES ARE 5% OF THE VOTES.

LOOKING FOR TWO SPOTS IN THAT RUN OFF.

ANYONE WHO GETS TO 20 IN MY MIND IS PROBABLY GUARANTEED A SPOT IN THE RUN OFF.

SOMEONE WHO GETS TO THE HIGH TEENS IS LIKELY TO BE IN THE RUNOFF.

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THESE SMALL SLICES GIVEN THE OVERSIZE OF THE FIELD.

YOU ARE A CONTESTANT AND YOU HAVE TWO MONTHS AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

>> IT WILL BE A WILD COUPLE OF WEEKS.

LET'S HAVE OUR LIGHTNING ROUND.

THE GOOD, THE BAD THAT TRANSPIRED THIS WEEK.

>> MY APOLOGIZE FOR MIXING UP THE ALPHABET WITH OUR GAY.

I WILL MAKE UP WITH PLU WHICH IS PEOPLE LIKE US.

COLORADO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY.

DOESN'T REALIZE WHAT PLU STANDS FOR.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I WILL GIVE IT TO DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

THE GUYS THAT STOLE THE TRUCK WITH THE PIGS.

THESE FOLKS COME FROM WASHINGTON.

THEY GOT THE PIGS TO BRING TO THE STOCK SHOW.

THEY WERE RECOVERED AND ARE OKAY.

WHO STEALS THOSE PIGS?

THEY NEED TO MADE INTO BACON.

>> THEY NEED TO SIT IN THOSE BRONCOS AT THE RODEO.

>> LET'S GO TO BRAZIL THIS WEEK AND MUCH CLOSER TO HOME IN NEW MEXICO.

SOMEONE ARRESTED WHO WAS A CANDIDATE THAT LOST BY OVER 50 POINTS.

THIS WAS NOT A CLIFF-HANGER RACE.

HE WAS CONVINCED HE HAD WON AND HIRED PEOPLE TO SHOOT UP HOUSES OF PROMINENT DEMOCRATS.

FOLKS THIS IS WHAT ELECTION DENIALS BRINGS YOU.

WE ARE LIVING IN A COUNTRY I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE OF THE PRETIS PAGS TROPHY MAYBE THEY CAME OUT ON THE SHORT END OF THE STICK.

THIS IS WHAT ELECTION DENIAL GETS YOU.

>> I'M GOING TO WASHINGTON AND SOME OF THE CHOICES OF KEVIN McCARTHY.

ON HOMELAND SECURITY, SHE IS AN ELECTION DENIER OF THE FIRST ORDER AND GETS TO BE IN THAT KIND OF GROUP WHICH IS FRANKLY FRIGHTENING.

AND ALSO FOR WHAT HE IS DECIDING TO DO OR NOT WITH REPRESENTATIVE GEORGE SANTOS BRING ANOTHER STORY SOMETHING ELSE HE LIED ABOUT.

JUST RESIGN ALREADY.

PLEASE.

>> LET'S GO WITH THE GOOD.

>> I'LL RETURN TO THE HOME OF THE PIGS WHICH THEY ARE SAFE NOW.

IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE STOCK SHOW GO SEE IT.

IT IS INCREDIBLE.

MONEY NOT COMING FROM TAXPAYERS BUT FROM DONORS.

>> THE SPUR CAMPUS IS FANTASTIC.

MY SHOUTOUT THEY ARE ON THE SPUR CAMPUS DOES AFFORDABLE SPAY AND NEUTER WHO WANT TO BRING THEIR PETS THERE.

I GOT A STRAY KITTEN AND TOOK HER TO GET HER OPERATION.

IT WAS GREAT, IT WAS AFFORDABLE.

THEY TOOK CARE OF MY LITTLE GIRL.

>> I DEPARTMENT KNOW THEY HAD THAT -- DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD THAT OUT THERE.

>> DENVER LOST A GIANT THIS WEEK.

HE WAS A VERY TALL HUMAN BEING.

DR. STEVE BURRMAN PASSED AWAY AFTER A BRIEF BATTLE WITH CANCER.

HE WAS A PROMINENT PEDIATRICIAN AT THE HOSPITAL.

HE AND HIS WIFE WERE CIVIC AND LEADERS ACROSS THE AREA.

A GOOD PERSON GONE TOO YOUNG.

>> AND I'M GOING TO THE STOCK SHOW TOO.

THIS IS FOR THE JUNIOR STOCK OPTIONS.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE EXHIBITORS ESPECIALLY TO THE COLORADO KIDS.

KEEP IN MIND, YOUR LAWMAKERS HAVE COLLECTED DONATIONS AND THEY WILL BE BIDDING ON A COLORADO KIDS LIVESTOCK DURING THE AUCTION ON FRIDAY.

>> THE AUCTION IS SUCH A GREAT THING TO WITNESS.

TO SEE THE KIDS TAKEN BACK THEIR HARD WORK.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR COMING ON THE SHOW.

WE APPRECIATE FOR ALL OF YOUR INSIGHT GOING FORWARD.

THANKS SO MUCH.

ALSO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE AT HOME WE APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.

LISTEN TO ONE ANOTHER, WE ARE LISTENING TO YOU.

ONE MORE REMINDER YOU CAN CATCH COLORADO INSIDE OUT AT PBS12.ORG.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU NEXT WEEK HERE ON PBS12.
