>>> HI, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO JULY 1st, 2022 EDITION OF COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

I'M YOUR HOST, KRISTA KAFER.

THANKS FOR JOINING US AS WE CONTINUE THE SUMMER-LONG SEARCH FOR THE FEW PERMANENT HOST.

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

COLORADO'S 2022 PRIMARY ELECTIONS HAVE COME TO AN END.

REPUBLICAN HEIDI GANAHL WILL BE THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TO RUN AGAINST GOVERNOR JARED POLIS FOR HIS SEAT, WHILE REPUBLICAN JOE O'DEA WILL BE FACING OFF AGAINST SENATOR MICHAEL BENNETT.

PATTY CALHOUN EDITOR OF THE WESTWORD.

WERE YOU AT ALL SURPRISED.

YOU WERE THINKING PERHAPS RON HANKS COULD PULL IT OUT.

>> I WAS CONFESSING HOW WRONG I WAS WITH MANY OF THESE.

IT WAS ALL RIGGED.

IT WAS A BIG LIE.

IT IS REALLY FASCINATING DESPITE ALL THE NOISE THAT WAS MADE OVER THE MORE CRACK POTTY EDGE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

THE MODERATES REALLY PULLED THROUGH IN THIS ELECTION.

MAKES YOU WONDER ARE WE ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION?

IT WILL MAKE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION MUCH MORE INTERESTING AND CLOSER THAN THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN.

IT WILL BE HARDER FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

THEY WILL BE DEBATING PEOPLE WHO HAVE REASONABLE POSITIONS IN SOME CASES WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE BIG LIE.

HEIDI GANAHL WILL HAVE AN UPHILL CLIMB.

SHE STILL HAS THINGS TO ANSWER FOR.

JOE O'DAE IS A RACE TO WATCH.

>> MARIANNE A REPORTER WITH COLORADO POLITICS.ORG.

IT SAYS TO ME THAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT IS A LITTLE DELUSIONAL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT THE VOTES FOR BOTH TINA PETERS AND MIKE.

56% OF THE GOP VOTERS VOTED FOR AN ELECTION.

THE ONLY CHOICE WAS WERE YOU GOING TO BE VOTING FOR SOMEBODY IN AN ORANGE JUMPSUIT OR VOTE SOMEBODY THAT WASN'T UNDER INDICTMENT.

THE ELECTION DENIER IS STILL VERY, VERY STRONG.

THEY JUST -- YOU JUST HAD MORE -- I'M GOING TO GUESS THE AFFILIATED VOTERS WHO MADE THE DIFFERENCE FOR PAM ANDERSON.

THE HANKS/O'DAE RACE.

RON HANKS NEVER GOT -- HE GOT GREAT TRACTION AT THE STATE ASSEMBLY.

HE COULDN'T RAISE ANY MONEY.

THE DEMOCRATS DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO HELP HIM AND WOUND UP BEING A BUNCH OF MONEY FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET.

>> DAVID KOPEL DO I HAVE ANY RIGHT TO BE OPTIMISTIC OR STILL IN THE DENIAL WING.

>> YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN WING.

THE REPUBLICANS CHOSE THE STRONGEST CANDIDATE TO PUT UP.

AND THE NATIONAL POLITICAL HAVE MOVED THE BENNETT SEAT TO SAFE DEMOCRAT TO LIKELY DEMOCRAT.

O'DAE WHO IS A FIRST TIME CANDIDATE BUSINESSMAN REMINDS HIM OF RON JOHNSON.

IN 2010 WHEN RON JOHNSON INCUMBENT DEMOCRAT SENATOR RUSS.

HE SEES SOME OF THAT SAME ENERGY IN O'DAE.

O'DAE HAD A GREAT VICTORY SPEECH WHERE HE SAYS HE WANTS TO BE A REPUBLICAN JOE MANSION.

THAT IS WHERE THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO ARE RATHER THAN WITH A CANDIDATE WHO WILL VOTE LONG STEP WITH THEIR PARTY ALL THE TIME.

BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.

POLIS CAN SPEND A MUCH AS HE WANTS.

SO THE DEMS VIEW GREAT NEWS FOR TELEVISION STATIONS.

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF ADS.

>> THE DEMOCRATS HOPE TO TIP IT IN FAVOR HANKS/PETERS CROWD.

WHAT SHOULD THE STRATEGY BE GOING FORWARD?

>> I THINK STAYING ON MESSAGE.

EVERYBODY COMING BACK MODERATING.

DON'T GET IT TWISTED.

WE ARE STILL IN THE MARGINS.

THIS PARTY PRETRUMP WAS IN A MUCH DIFFERENT PLACE.

WE MAYBE TOOK A BIT OF A STEP BACK.

SO, I THINK, DEMOCRATS STAYING ON MESSAGE CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WILL CARRY O'DAE AT THE END OF ALL THIS.

MANY RECOGNITION, NOTORIETY IN SOME CASES.

>> THANK YOU.

>>> COLORADO'S MOST EXPENSIVE RACE, THE RACE FOR HOUSE DISTRICT 6, HAS PROVEN TO BE A CLOSE ONE.

PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE HAS CLAIMED VICTORY.

MEANWHILE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE BARBARA KIRKMEYER WILL BE RUNNING AGAINST THE UNCONTESTED DEMOCRATIC YADIRA CARAVEO IN THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE DISTRICT 8.

MARIANNE GOODLAND.

YOU ARE TRACKING THESE RACES STRONGLY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?

DO THESE TWO CANDIDATES PULL IT OUT AGAINST THEIR OPPONENTS COME NOVEMBER?

>> I DON'T THINK THERE IS A QUESTION.

THERE IS A CENTRAL DENVER COLORADO HILL.

THE VOTER REGISTRATION NUMBERS ARE 5-1 IN FAVOR OF THE DEMOCRATS.

THE TOUGHEST BATTLE IS THE ONE TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE RACE, I THINK IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING TO WATCH.

I THINK IT WILL INTESING.

AS LONG AS REPUBLICANS CAN TURN OUT TO VOTE IF KIRK MEYER THIS IS FRANKLY HER CONTEST TO LOSE.

CARAVEO IS A NEWCOMER.

THAT PLAYS AS WELL AS IT MIGHT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE.

>> DAVID KOPEL DOES SHE LOSE SOME OF THOSE MODERATE VOTERS COME NOVEMBER?

>> I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.

AS MARIANNE SAID, IT WILL NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.

PARTS OF THIS DISTRICT MY DAD USED TO REPRESENT FOR MANY YEARS.

THERE WERE TIMES HE WAS THE ONLY JEWISH LEGISLATURE IN THE ENTIRE COLORADO LEGISLATURE.

I'M REALLY SAD TO SEE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHOSE A CANDIDATE WHO TALKS ABOUT MORE BILLIONAIRE JEWISH TEAM OWNERS AND CALL PRESIDENT OBAMA A PUPPET OF ISRAEL.

YOU CAN HAVE HATERS OF EVERY RACE AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

>> I THINK THEY MADE A GOOD CASE SHE IS PROBABLY GOING TO PULL IT OUT.

DOES THAT SAY SOMETHING THAT THE PARTY MOVED TO THE LEFT?

>> SO I LIVE IN DISTRICT 6.

I THINK WHAT THIS RACE SYMBOLIZES YOU GET HER.

WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT SHE STANDS FOR SHE IS AUTHENTIC.

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE SENDING IN THERE.

SHE IS NOT BOUGHT BY CORPORATE INTEREST.

SHE HAS POSITIONS AND MAYBE SOME FOLKS DISAGREE WITH.

SHE HAS SOME ARE IN SUPPORT OF.

I THINK THAT I WOULD -- AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE WASN'T A DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.

I THINK SHE WILL BE OUR PERSON.

>> BOTH VERY LIKELY WOMEN.

THEIR DIFFERENCES AREN'T SO MUCH ABOUT CHARACTER AS THEY ARE ABOUT POLICY.

WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING IN THAT DISTRICT?

>> IT WILL BE A LESSON HOW THE REDISTRICTING WORKS.

THAT WILL SHOW US HOW COLORADO IS REALLY GOING AND WHERE THE UNAFFILIATED LEAN.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW.

IN DENVER, OF COURSE, IT WILL BE IN THE LEGISLATURE NOW.

WHAT WAS TOO BAD THE INFLUENCE OF DARK MONEY AND HOW EVEN ON THE STATE LEVEL GOING DOWN FROM THE BIGGER RACES.

DARK MONEY CAN INFLUENCE IT AND MAKE IT REALLY UGLY IN NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE CITY.

BOTH OF THOSE WOMEN WILL BE GOOD LEGISLATURES.

MARCH WILL BE GOOD.

BUT DISTRICT EIGHT AND DISTRICT SEVEN ARE GOING TO BE WILD RACES.

>>> MORE IN CONGRESS.

LAUREN BOEBERT REMAINS VICTORIOUS IN HER GOP-LEADING 3rd CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, WHILE OTHER ELECTION DENIERS LOST THEIR RACES.

COULD YOU COMMENT ON THE BOEBERT RACE?

MY OWN PARTY THIS YEAR.

I WAS HOPING CORUM WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

>> IT SHOWS THE POWER OF INCUMBENT.

IF THIS HAD BEEN AN OPEN SEAT.

WOULD HAVE HAD A HEAD START.

NOW SHE HAS BEEN OUT.

I THINK SHE HAS BEEN WHATEVER YOU THINK OF HER VIEWS SHE HAS BEEN CONSCIOUS OF PEOPLE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT ELECTION DENIALISM IS A THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS WHO SAY THAT DON'T REALLY MEAN IT.

WE SEE THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY PUT IN COLORADO TO HAVE ELECTION DENIERS ELECTED.

HOW THEY DONE THIS SIMILARLY IN PENNSYLVANIA AND ILLINOIS MORE SUCCESSFULLY.

YOU OUGHT TO PREFER THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NOMINATE CANDIDATES WHO PLAY FAIR AND AGREE AND ACCEPT ELECTION RESULTS.

THAT'S STILL MUCH MORE IMPORTANT IN THE LONG-TERM.

IT IS REALLY SAD THAT THE DEMOCRATS, MUCH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DON'T.

YOU CAN SEE THAT AND HOW THEY GOBBLE UP AND GO ALONG.

>> TYRONE HE MAKES A GREAT POINT.

HOW AMERICANS WE NEED TO SEE GOOD, STRONG CANDIDATES WHO ACCEPT ELECTION RESULTS AND THE PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER.

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE INCENTIVES SO EVERYONE IS ON BOARD WITH DOING THE RIGHT THING?

>> THAT IS THE BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION RIGHT THERE.

HOW CAN WE GET BOTH PARTIES TOILING IN THE MARGINS.

WITH BOEBERT THIS HOST OF ATTRIBUTES INCLUDING DENYING ELECTIONS THAT GIVE HER CONSTITUENCY A CERTAIN LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN IT IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT CLICKS OR SORT OF ONE SENTENCE HEADLINES OR TWEETS THAT ARE DRIVING A LOT OF OUR ELECTION CYCLES, MAYBE WE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT TO A PLACE WHERE FOLKS ARE JUST EXAMING THESE ISSUES MORE ANALYTICAL LEVEL.

THERE IS SO MUCH CELEBRITY WE SAW IN THIS LAST ROUND OF PRIMARIES.

HOW MUCH HAVING THAT RECOGNITION MATTERS.

IT IS REALLY HARD TO GIVE THAT UP.

IT TRANSFERS WHETHER YOU GET THE VOTE.

PATTY CALHOUN, I TRANSCRIBE OVER TONIGHT'S PERSON.

DOES SHE HAVE A FUTURE HERE IN COLORADO OR BOUND TO RETIRE?

>> LOSING TO SOMEONE THERE IS NO SOMEONE LIKE LAUREN BOEBERT.

THAT WAS GOING TO BE A TOUGH, TOUGH RACE TO WIN.

LAUREN BOEBERT WE DON'T HAVE TINA PETERS.

LAUREN BOEBERT IS A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

SHE STARTED TALKING ABOUT CELEBRATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

SHE MAY BE LOSING HER OFFICE WHERE SHE CAME TO NOTORIETY.

HER LEASE IS NOT BEING RENEWED.

I WILL TELL YOU WHAT WE WILL KEEP RENEWING THE UNBELIEVABLE MEDIA COVERAGE SHE GETS.

SHE IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT PART OF COLORADO.

SHE CERTAINLY ROLLED OVER CORUM IN THE LAST RACE.

>> WITH THE THINGS THEY SAY ON TWITTER IS A GIFT TO THE PRESS.

IS THE PRESS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROMPTING ELECTION DENIERS AND OTHER CRAZY ANTICS.

>> THAT IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

IT IS ONE THAT A CONVERSATION THAT I HAVE FROM TIME TO TIME WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PRESS.

PARTICULARLY THOSE OF US AT THE STATE CAPITOL.

DO WE NEED TO REPORT SOME OF THESE THINGS AND GIVE THEM MORE ATTENTION AND THE FLIP SIDE, OF COURSE, IS THAT -- THESE ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS.

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE PROMINENT IN THEIR PARTIES.

IT IS HARD TO SAY NO TO THAT.

WE KNOW HOW GOOD IT IS FOR OUR CLICKS, FOR THE TRAFFIC IN OUR WEB SITE.

IT IS PAINFUL TO WATCH.

IT IS HARD TO SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE ADVOCATING AGAINST THAT -- ADVOCATING AGAINST DEMOCRACY IN THAT WAY.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM THAT ATTENTION.

ON THE OTHER HAND IT IS HARD NOT TO.

>> WELL SAID.

>>> DENVER CITY COUNCIL IS ALWAYS FACING CHANGES IN LEADERSHIP.

DISTRICT'S JAMIE TORRES HOPES TO STEP UP AS A NEW CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT IN PLACE OF FORMER COUNCIL PRESIDENT STACIE GILMORE.

COUNCILWOMAN AMEND SANDOVAL WILL THEN BE RUNNING FOR COUNCILWOMAN JAMIE TORRES' ROLE AS PRO TEM.

TYRONE YOU LIVE IN THE CITY HOW DO YOU THINK THESE CHANGES WILL AFFECT THE COUNCIL?

>> THIS IS A COUNCIL THEY HAVE BEEN READY.

THEY HAVE BEEN WEATHERING EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH THE PANDEMIC AND THE RESULTING CHALLENGES WHICH WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH.

I THINK THEY ARE READY TO SEE THIS CHANGE AND HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.

I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE AN EXCITING TIME FOR THE COUNCIL ESPECIALLY SORT OF THIS TURBULENT ERA THE STRONG POWER.

I THINK BASED ON WHAT IT IS THEY WANT TO DO.

I THINK IT WILL BE AN EXCITING TIME.

INSTEAD OF THEM RESPONDING TO THE CRISES IT IS A COUNCIL THAT WANTS TO GET WORK.

I KNOW THAT CIVIL RIGHTS AND LABOR ATTORNEY ARE RUNNING AT LARGE.

I THINK WE WILL SEE AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC AND A COUNCIL READY TO GET TO WORK AND BE LESS REACTIVE.

>> PATTY CALHOUN WE HAVE A MAYORAL RACE, DOES THE COMPOSITION OF THIS COUNCIL WILL IT AFFECT THAT RACE IN THE FUTURE?

>> IT CERTAINLY COULD.

TORRES IS LOOKING AT TAKE K CHARGE IN THREE WEEKS.

NOT THE NEW CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS BUT JUST THE POSITIONS.

IF SHE IS ELECTED, NO ONE UP AGAINST HER AS COUNCIL PRESIDENT, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT POSITION FOR A YEAR.

SHE WILL HAVE A RUNNING START TO REALLY NOT JUST DIRECT TO COUNCIL BUT MAYBE GO UP AGAINST WHO IS THE NEW MAYOR.

THERE IS NO QUESTION, PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY TO CHALLENGE THE STRONG MAYOR.

YOU HAVE SEEN A LOT OF ACTIONS TAKEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

THEY WANT APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT AND THEY GOT IT.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS MAYOR'S RACE.

IT IS GOING TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE CITY A LOT.

WE SEE WITH THE MARCH RACE.

WE CAN HAVE JUST AS UGLY MAYORAL RACE IN APRIL.

>> I CAN SEE THAT.

DENVER IS FACING PRETTY SERIOUS CHALLENGES WITH CRIME, WITH HOMELESSNESS, WITH THE COST OF HOUSING AND OTHER ISSUES.

HOW DO YOU THINK CONGRESS SHOULD HANDLE GREAT CHALLENGES?

>> IT COMES DOWN TO THE MONEY.

CAN THEY WHEEL CONTROL OVER THE CITY BUDGET.

A STRONG -- GOING UP AGAINST A STRONG MAYOR.

I THINK THAT WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

IF THEY CAN HAVE MORE SAY ABOUT HOW THE CITY DIRECTS ITS MONEY THEN, YES, I THINK THAT IS POSSIBLE.

I THINK THE THING I'M WATCHING FOR WHO JAMIE TORRES WANTS TO SEE AS MAYOR?

WILL SHE WANT SOMEBODY MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO WHICH IS TO HAVE A STRONGER CITY COUNCIL?

IS SHE FINE WITH WHOMEVER COMES OUT?

IT SEEMS TO GROW EVERY DAY.

HALF THE LEGISLATURE WANTS TO BE DENVER MAYOR.

I'M INTERESTED TO SEE THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT SHE BUILDS OVER THIS NEXT YEAR WITH THOSE MAYORAL CANDIDATES.

WHO DOES SHE COME OUT IN FAVOR OF?

IS THAT SOMEBODY SHE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE VISION SHE WANTS TO ENACT FOR THE CITY OF DENVER.

>> DAVID KOPEL STRONG MAYOR, STRONG COUNCIL HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS BEST FOR THE CITY OF DENVER?

>> HERE ARE SOME GOOD NEWS, FOLKS.

THERE ARE CERTAINLY ELECTIONS WHERE THE BEST CANDIDATES ALMOST ALWAYS WIN.

THOSE ARE WHAT LEGISLATIVE BODY ARE CHOOSING THEIR OWN LEADERSHIP.

WHETHER IT IS COLORADO HOUSE.

THE CANDIDATES KNOW THE VOTERS, LEGISLATURE, COUNCIL PEOPLE KNOW VERY WELL WHO THEY ARE VOTING FOR.

THE LEGISLATURE, COUNCIL PEOPLE VOTE IF THEIR SELF-INTEREST WHICH IS TO HAVE THE MOST COMPETENT LEADERSHIP THEY CAN.

AT THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL YOU GET THE BEST OF WHO IS AVAILABLE.

IF THE COUNCIL THINKS JAMIE TORRES IS THE BEST.

>> WE WILL DO DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

WHO HAS BEEN NAUGHTY?

>> I WILL GO DENVER CROWD.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO IS GO TO THE AVS PARADE.

I'M SURE MANY PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN DOWNTOWN TO SEE THAT DENVER IS NOT -- WE HAVE NOT GONE THROUGH THE APOCALYPSE.

OUT CELEBRATING AND HAVING A GREAT DAY.

I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU DO OUT AND SEE DOWNTOWN.

THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS WE GOT PROBLEMS.

WE HAVE HOMELESS THAT ARE CAMPING IN VARIOUS PLACES ALMOST EVERY MAJOR CITY.

DENVER STILL LOOKS GOOD.

YOU STILL GO DOWNTOWN, HAVE A GOOD TIME AND ENJOY THE CITY.

>> THERE WASN'T A SINGLE ARREST.

WELL PUT.

MARIANNE?

>> THE 70% COLORADOANS WHO STAYED HOME AND DIDN'T PARTICIPATE.

THIS IS THE HEART OF DEMOCRACY.

REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY YOU ARE AFFILIATED OR NOT AT ALL.

PLEASE DON'T DO IT AGAIN IN NOVEMBER.

>> AMEN.

DAVE?

>> I THINK IT IS OKAY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE AN INFORMED OPINION NOT TO VOTE.

THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE A LOCAL STATE LEGISLATURE TO VOTE IN.

REPRESENTATIVE DOUG AGAINST DAVID WILLIAMS.

WILLIAMS INTRODUCED A BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE TO SAY IF YOU GET A RED LIGHT CAMERA FINE FOR A MINOR TRAFFIC VIOLATION YOU CAN PAY THAT AMOUNT TO ANY QUALIFIED NON-PROFIT.

INSTEAD OF HELPING KEEP IT SAFE -- THAT WAS EXTREMELY MISLEADING.

>> TYRONE?

>> I'M GOING TO PUT OUR SUPREME COURT ON BLAST FOR THE CASCADE OF DECISIONS.

NOT JUST INCLUDING THE REVERSAL.

THOSE HAVE BEEN RECENT.

GOING TO SEE HOW WE WILL DEAL WITH THOSE IN COLORADO.

THAT IS MY NAUGHTY PERSON OF THE WEEK.

>> LET'S GET OUR NICE ON.

>> ONE OF THE PLACES TO GO TONIGHT IS TO SANTA FE DRIVE WILL HAVE A BIG FRIDAY BASH OVER 100 BUSINESSES, GALLERIES OPEN.

GET OUT AND EXPERIENCE THE CITY.

>> NICE.

>> MARIANNE?

>> TWO THE GOP VOTERS AND DOUGLAS, EL PASO, AND LARIMER COUNTIES WHO SENT A CLEAR MESSAGE ON THEIR CHOICES FOR THE STATE HOUSE.

I THINK THAT MESSAGE WAS GO AWAY.

>> I'LL SEND THAT.

DAVE?

>> ROCKY MOUNTAIN GUN OWNERS HAVEN'T LED TO ANY WIN FOR THEIR ENDORSEES IN THE LAST TWO ELECTION CYCLES.

COLORADO STATE SENATOR JOHN COOK TO FINISH UP HIS FINAL TERM.

A NICE INTERVIEW IN COLORADO POLITICS.

HE HAS BEEN SHERIFF.

AS SHERIFF YOU GET TO BE THE BOSS.

IF YOU SAY DO THIS, IT GETS DONE.

HE WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE TRANSITION TO THE LEGISLATURE WHERE IT IS ALL ABOUT COOPERATION AND BUILDING COLLISION.

HE HELPS PASS BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION.

IT IS NO WONDER HE WAS ELECTED TO HIS PARTY'S LEADERSHIP.

>> WELL SAID.

TYRONE.

>> THIS TIME I'M GOING TO BE NICE.

MY SOMETHING NICE OF THE WEEK IS BROWN JACKSON BEING SWORN IN YESTERDAY.

>> I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THIS FANTASTIC PANEL.
