>>> HELLO I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, 2022.

ELECTION DAY IS BEHIND US.

BUT IT IS NOT OVER.

AT THE TIME OF THIS TAPING THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS STILL BEING COUNTED.

WE HAVE PATTY CALHOUN FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.

ALSO DAVID KOPEL RESEARCHER DIRECTOR AT INDEPENDENCE INSTITUTE.

ERIC SONDERMANN.

AND ALAYNA ALVAREZ REPORTER AT AXIOS DENVER.

THE BIG TAKE AWAY THAT THE RED WAVE DID NOT HAPPEN.

IT HAS TURNED OUR STATE SOLIDLY BLUE.

I WANT TO GO AROUND THE TABLE AND TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS OF WHY IT HAPPENED.

>> THE WILD ONE IS THE BOEBERT RACE.

HE WAS 64 VOTES AHEAD.

BY THE TIME WE SAT DOWN SHE IS 382 VOTES AHEAD.

IT WILL WIND UP GOING TO A RECOUNT.

WHAT IS FASCINATING THE POLLS WERE WRONG.

THIS ONE ALL THE WAY FROM COLORADO UP TO NATIONAL.

YOU HAD NATE OF MAKING IT.

NO ONE TUESDAY NIGHT HAD IDEA THAT HE WOULD DO AS WELL AS HE HAS.

THAT IS ONE OF THE BIG SHOCKERS.

HOW MUCH ATTENTION DID JOE O'DAE GOT AT THE END.

YOU ALMOST HAD THE FEELING HE WOULD GIVE BENNETT A RUN FOR EVERYONE'S MONEY.

THAT WAS A SURPRISE TOO.

THE BIG LOSERS BESIDE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

REPUBLICANS IN GENERAL DO NOT LOOK VERY SMART THIS ELECTION.

>> DAVID, LET ME ASK YOU THE CONGRESSIONAL THIRD DISTRICT.

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LAUREN'S RACE TO WIN.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH REPUBLICAN PARTY ESPECIALLY ON THAT PART OF THE STATE?

>> IN THE THIRD DISTRICT BOEBERT SAID SHE RAN FOR OFFICE BECAUSE SHE WAS INSPIRED BY CORTEZ AND THE SQUAD.

SO YOU ARE SAYING I'M GOING INTO POLITICS SO I CAN BE STUPID AND ANGRY AT THE SAME TIME.

WELL THIS ANGER I THINK IF BOEBERT WANTS TO STAY IN OFFICE HAS TO HAVE A MORE ADULT DEMEANOR.

LOST IN THE REPUBLICAN WAVE BUT DID PRETTY WELL.

HE STAYED IN TOUCH WITH THE DISTRICT AND DIDN'T GET TOO FAR OUTSIDE WHERE HE WAS.

>> ERIC YOU HAD BEEN WATCHING THAT CLOSELY.

THE VOTES ARE STILL COUNTING.

>> INDEED SHE DID.

I TAKE IT THAT SHE AND HER STRATEGIST WHERE THOSE OUTSTANDING VOTES ARE.

WE WILL SEE IF IT TIGHTENS.

FOR SOME REASON THAT PART OF THE STATE WAS THE SLOWEST TO REPORT.

AND IT IS STILL SLOW.

IT STILL LAGS BEHIND THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS IN TERMS OF THE NUMBERS WE HAVE.

I DON'T HAVE THE REASON FOR THAT.

OVERALL, THERE WAS NO WAVE HERE.

THERE WAS A SOLID BLUE WAVE IN COLORADO.

AND EVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY THERE WAS BARELY A RED RIPPLE.

IN COLORADO IT WASN'T A WAVE, IT WAS A BLACK FLOW.

IT PUSHED BACK THE OTHER DIRECTION.

THERE ARE THREE THAT COME TOP TO MIND FOR ME.

ONE AND DAVID HIT THIS HARD.

THE FACT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LAUREN BOEBERT RACE.

THE FACT THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT IS AN INDICATION OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE BLUE KNIGHT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE IN COLORADO.

SECONDLY THE SENATE RACE.

THERE WERE POLLS REPORTING TO SHOW IT CLOSE TO A DEAD HEAT.

I HAPPEN TO THINK JOE O'DAE WAS THE MOST ABLE OPPONENT FACED IN THE THREE ELECTION.

BENNET ONE THAT MUCH MORE EASILY EITHER OF HIS OTHER TWO ELECTIONS.

IT WAS A DOUBLE DIGIT MARGIN A COUPLE THOUSAND VOTES DIFFERENCE.

I NEVER BOUGHT THAT REPUBLICANS WERE GOING TO GET THE STATE SENATE.

I NEVER BOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET TO STATE SENATE.

THE MARGINS IN THE STATE SENATE AND STATE HOUSE GOT BIGGER INSTEAD OF SMALLER.

>> VOTERS IN COLORADO CAME TO THE BALLOTS.

I FEEL THEY WERE RATHER THAN EDUCATED.

>> I THINK YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT.

WHICH IS WHY SO MANY VOTERS AREN'T ALIGNING.

THEY AREN'T MAJOR THREATS IN OUR -- HOW VOTES ARE COUNTED IN OUR DEMOCRATIC LANDSCAPE.

THEY ARE EDUCATED.

THEY HAVE SEEN HOW TRUMP HAS PLAYED VOTERS BEFORE.

I THINK THE FACT THAT EVERYONE HAS MENTIONED IN THIS TABLE.

BOEBERT RACE IS AS CLOSE AS IT IS IS EXTREMELY TELLING.

THEY ARE LOOKING TO CANDIDATES TO ALIGN WITH THEIR OWN VALUES.

JUST SINCE ABILITY.

ALIGN WITH SINCE ABILITY THAT IS NOT APPARENT THERE.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE JARED POLIS IN PLACES LIKE DOUGLAS COUNTY.

HE ALMOST WON EL PASO COUNTY.

THAT IS A DEEP RED COUNTY.

REPUBLICANS RIGHT NOW SHOULD REALLY GO BACK TO THE WAR ROOM WITH THESE LESSONS AND REALIZE THEY DID NOT RESONATE WITH VOTERS CLEARLY.

THIS DEEP BLUE WAVE IS THIS HERE TO STAY?

BUT AS WE MENTIONED THE RED WAVE CERTAINLY WAS NOT TO BE SEEN.

>> DEMOCRATS HAVE SEIZE FULL CONTROL OF COLORADO GOVERNMENT.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT THIS SESSION?

>> A PANELIST ON THIS SHOW THE HUSBAND OF BRITTANY PETERSON AND HAS EXPERIENCE IN WHAT PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY CALL THEMSELVES PROGRESSIVES IN COLORADO DEMOCRATIC POLITICS.

IF COLORADO IS BASICALLY BLUE NOW, CAN EVERY SINGLE PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZATION FINALLY TEAM UP TO GET RID OF TABOR.

WE WILL SEE A LOT OF ATTACKS ON THE TAXPAYERS BILLS OF RIGHTS.

THEY SAY THEY ARE IN FAVOR OF CHOICE FOR PREGNANT PEOPLE BUT NOT FOR ANYTHING ELSE INCLUDING FOR VOTERS AND TAXES.

THE ELIMINATION OF OIL AND GAS JOBS IS GOING TO CONTINUE.

HOME HEATING WILL SKYROCKET.

MORE JOBS IN BUSINESSES THAT INEFFICIENTLY PRODUCE INEFFICIENT ENERGY.

EVEN MORE SO ALREADY COLORADO IS GOING TO BECOME A GREAT STATE TO WORK.

IF YOU ARE A CAR THEFT, THIEF, OR BICYCLE THIEF AND ROUGH STATE TO WORK IF YOU HAVE A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

NOT ADEQUATELY FUND ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

OVERALL WE WILL BE RUN BY A STATE GOVERNMENT THAT LOOKS AT TODAY'S SAN FRANCISCO AND MAKE COLORADO MORE LIKE THAT AND THEY WILL.

>> OKAY SO I'M DEPRESSED.

>> ME TOO.

>> HAPPY NEW YEAR.

ONCE WE START THE LEGISLATURE, YOU KNOW, THIS SESSION, IT IS GOING TO BE EVIDENT.

THERE IS SO FEW SPOTS FOR REPUBLICANS LEADERS.

>> IT WILL BE INTERESTING HOW THE DEMOCRATS WILL CHOOSE TO TREAT THOSE REPUBLICANS.

THERE ARE SOME REPUBLICANS THERE OF SUBSTANCE.

THERE ARE BRIGHT CONSERVETIVE THOUGHTFUL LEGISLATURES IN THE STATE.

ARE THEY BEING IGNORED?

ARE THEY PATRONIZED.

ARE THEY SERIOUSLY INVOLVED IN CONVERSATIONS?

DAVID PAINTED A GLOOMY PICTURE.

THERE ARE GEMS OF TRUTH IN WHAT DAVID SAID.

I'M NOT QUITE THAT GLOOMY OF THE OVERALL PICTURE OF WHAT WE ARE FACING.

JARED POLIS, AS A GOVERNOR.

HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

HE IS GOING TO PULL THE TROOPS BACK SOMETIMES.

THE SUPER MAJORITY WHETHER IN CONGRESS, WHETHER IT IS IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND REGARDLESS OF PARTY.

SUPER MAJORITIES TEND TO BE DANGEROUS, UNWIELDLY, HARD TO CONTROL.

ALREADY IN THE COLORADO STATE HOUSE THERE ARE FOUR MEMBERS THAT FORMED THE SOCIALIST CAUCUS.

NOW, THAT'S ONLY FOUR OUT OF 46 IN THE STATE HOUSE.

THAT'S LESS THAN 10% OF THE HOUSE.

THEY ARE DETERMINED TO EXERT INFLUENCE IN THAT CAUCUS AND PULL THAT CAUCUS LEFT.

IT WILL BE UP TO GOVERNOR POLIS TO KEEP THEM IN SOME KIND OF MAINSTREAM.

THEY WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN NOT.

>> ALAYNA I SEE YOU NODDING.

>> HE IS SPURRING THOUGHTS I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT BEFORE.

GOVERNOR POLIS -- WE HAVE 50 SHADES OF BLUE RIGHT NOW IN THE LEGISLATURE.

IT IS GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THESE SHADES EVOLVE BASED ON WHERE THE BLUE CANDIDATES PUT THEMSELVES ON THE MAP.

I THINK IT WILL BE INTERESTING HOW GOVERNOR POLIS PLAYS THIS CONSERVATIVE ROLE.

MIGHT SET UP FOR A PRESIDENTIAL RACE AND SHOW HOW HE HAS BEEN MODERATE IN A COMPLETELY DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED GOVERNMENT.

I THINK A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN CONTROL.

THEY HAVE ALL THE WIN BEHIND THEIR BACK TO PROGRESS THEIR AGENDA.

IF THEY DON'T, THAT REVEALS THE DYSFUNCTION WITHIN THE PARTY.

SO THEY HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE.

>> I'M VERY GLAD I DON'T LIVE IN DAVID KOPEL WORLD.

I'M FAR MORE OPTIMISTIC.

ALL DEMOCRATS DO NOT SPEAK IN ONE VOICE JUST AS ALL REPUBLICANS DO NOT SPEAK IN ONE VOICE.

WE SURVIVED MAJORITY DEMOCRAT STATE HOUSE.

MAJORITY DEMOCRAT SENATE.

AND POLIS KNOWS HOW TO CONTROL, HE KNOWS WHEN TO PUT CONTROL AND WHEN NOT TO.

HE HAS A LOT OF ISSUES COMING UP.

I THINK HE WILL BE VERY SMART ON HOW HE PLAYS IT.

THE DEMOCRATS -- MOST DEMOCRATS WILL ALSO BE LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEXT ELECTION.

WHEN IT IS GOING TO BE A WILD ATTEMPT TO COME BACK BY THE REPUBLICANS.

YOU KNOW, EVERYONE WANTS COLORADO TO BE A BETTER PLACE.

WE MIGHT DISAGREE WHAT MAKES IT A BETTER PLACE.

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BALANCE THINGS.

IT WILL NOT THAT EASY TO GET RID OF TABOR.

WE HAVE SEEN ATTEMPTS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS.

MORE OF A BLUE HEAVEN THAN A BLUE DISASTER.

>> BLUE HEAVEN, I LIKE THAT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE INITIATIVES.

OUR BALLOT WAS SO LONG.

ERIC LET'S START WITH YOU.

>> DO VOTERS EXERCISE SOME DISCERNMENT.

I FIGURED THEY WOULD MOVE IN MASS.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ALL GOING DOWN BY WIDELY DIFFERENT MARGINS.

WHERE TAKE OVER THING WENT DOWN HUGELY.

AND 125 THE WINE AND LIQUOR STORY -- THE WINE AND GROCERY STORE THING IS MUCH CLOSER AND STILL I DON'T THINK IS OFFICIALLY DEFEATED YET.

THE MOST NOTABLE ONE FOR ME.

EVEN AS THERE WAS THIS MASSIVE BLUE KNIGHT IN COLORADO.

YOU WAVE A LITTLE BAIT IN A FORM OF A TAX INCREASE AND IT WAS ALMOST A TWO TO ONE MARGIN.

BY I BELIEVE PROP 121 PASSED.

>> ALAYNA YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF DOING ALL THE CHARTS OF THE PERCENTAGES.

THAT WAS A LOT OF WORK.

WHAT WAS THE THINGS THAT YOU PICKED UP BY DOING THAT?

>> SIMILARLY TO ERIC I WAS SURPRISED WITH HOW QUICKLY THE PROPOSITIONS 124, 125, AND 126 FAILED.

THEY COLLECTIVELY RAISED $27 MILLION TO GET VOTER SUPPORT.

I THINK PROPS FOR THE VOTERS FOR THINKING INDEPENDENTLY.

HOW FIERCELY VOTERS STOOD UP FOR SMALL BUSINESSES THE FACT THEY CAN BE HARMED BY SOME OF THESE PROPOSITIONS.

I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THAT MANY DENVER VOTERS DESPITE THE CHANGE OF INFLATION CHOSE TO INVEST AND RAISE TAXES TO SUPPORT THE DENVER PUBLIC LIBRARY.

THAT IS 37 MILLION THAT IS GOING TO THAT.

THEY ARE ALSO, IT LOOKS LIKE GOING TO APPROVE A RAISE IN PROPERTY TAXES.

DENVER HISTORICALLY HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY FAVORABLE TOWARD TAXING THEMSELVES.

THEY LOVE TO TAX THEMSELVES CONSIDERING WE ARE BRACING POTENTIALLY FOR A VERY BIG RECESSION IN 2023.

I'M CURIOUS TO WHERE THAT LINE IS.

WHEN DENVER VOTERS DECIDE.

>> THEY COULD FIGURE THINGS OUT LIKE 124.

OPPONENTS WERE OUTSPEND 38 TO 1.

IF YOU VOTED FOR IT WHEN YOU WEREN'T.

VOTERS FIGURE THAT OUT WHICH IS GREAT.

IT IS INTERESTING WE HAVE SO MUCH ON THE BALLOT ABOUT LIQUOR AND ALSO ABOUT MAGIC MUSHROOMS.

I'LL BRING SOME FOR YOU, DAVID, NEXT WEEK.

I THINK IT WILL HELP.

WE SEE 122 PASS.

OPPONENTS INCLUDED NOT JUST THE USUAL BUT ALSO SOME NATIVE AMERICANS WHO DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT IT HADN'T BEEN RESEARCHED IT WAS TAKEN FROM THEIR OWN NATURAL DRUG CEREMONY.

THEY ARE CONCERNED IT WILL BECOME BIG PHARMA.

OF COURSE, AS SOON AS THE NATION IS DONE MAKING FUN OF US FOR LAUREN BOEBERT THEY WILL BE MAKING FUN OF US FOR THIS.

>> DAVID EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE YOU HAPPIER.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE MY DAD HAPPY HE COULD WALK DOWN THE STREET AND MENTALLY KNOW, 53% OF THE PEOPLE I'M MEETING VOTED FOR ME.

AND SO WE NOW KNOW WHAT IS POPULAR IN COLORADO AND WHAT IS NOT.

THE TAX -- THE PROPERTY TAX CUT GOT 88%.

WE KNOW THAT MUSHROOMS ARE MORE POPULAR THAN CHAIN LIQUOR STORES AND BINGO COMPANIES.

>> WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE ON THEIR RADAR IN TERMS OF THE NEW MAKE UP HERE IN COLORADO?

WHAT DO YOU GUYS -- >> I THINK IT IS INTERESTING HOW REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO REGROUP AFTER THIS.

I WAS INTERESTED THEY LOST LATINOS 3-1.

THIS WAS A VERY BIG VOTING BLOCK.

A CRITICAL ONE IN COLORADO.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE REALLY HOPEFUL TO HARNESS.

THEY LOST THEM COMPLETELY AT A TIME LATINOS ARE THINKING ABOUT THE ECONOMY.

THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY WITH INFLATION.

I'M REALLY CURIOUS HOW THEY ARE GOING TO REGROUP DITCH THE ELECTION AFTER SEEING MULTIPLE ELECTIONS.

IT IS NOT WORKING.

REALLY SEE HOW THEY COME BACK CENTER INSTEAD OF STAYING SUPER FAR RIGHT.

>> I WILL BE WATCHING HOW 122 IS IMPLEMENTED.

IF PEOPLE CAN BEHAVE BETTER TOWARDS THE ELECTION PROCESS.

WE ARE DEMANDING A RECOUNT OR MAKING ACCUSATIONS IN COLORADO.

WE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT HOW THE ELECTION WENT IN COLORADO THAT CLERKS AND POLLING PLACES WERE NOT BOTHERED.

THERE WERE PEOPLE OUT SUSPICIOUS AND WATCHING.

I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BEHAVE AND THE PROCESS TRIES TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE ITSELF.

WE DO RECOGNIZE IT IS WORKING.

>> DAVID?

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I'LL BE WATCHING WHICH WILL BE DIFFICULT IS GOVERNOR POLIS FOR A PRESIDENTIAL RUN.

HE HAS TO PREPARE WELL.

HE HAS TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT.

THE ELECTION RESULTS INCREASE THE ODDS THAT JOE BIDEN WILL RUN FOR REELECTION.

AND BIDEN HAS PROVEN HE CAN STOP REPUBLICANS.

HE CAN'T STOP TIME.

AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE AFFECTS OF AGEING ON HIS MENTAL ACUITY.

SOMETIMES THEY ARE HARMLESSLY COMICAL.

HERE IS ONE POTENTIAL SCENARIO.

HE RUNS FOR REELECTION.

AND LET'S SAY IN JUNE 2024 HOW MUCH THINGS WORSE I FEEL NOW COMPARED TO FOUR MONTHS AGO.

I'M NOT GOING TO RUN FOR REELECTION.

IT IS THROWN TO A RECONVENTION.

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO DO A CEREMONIAL VOTE.

WHO WILL BE PREPARED?

WHO WILL HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND PULL OFF A DEMOCRATIC WIN?

THAT IS THE KIND OF THING POLIS AND SERIOUS CONTENDERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT RIGHT NOW WHILE FIGURING THEY ARE NOT FIGURING OUT ANYTHING.

>> IT IS INTERESTING TO HEAR YOUR IDEA ABOUT THE CONVENTION.

OKAY.

>> THAT WOULD MAKE FOR GOOD THEATER.

I'M NOT BETTING ON IT.

LET ME QUICKLY SORT OF -- BOTH PARTIES FACE CHALLENGES.

LET ME HIGHLIGHT ONE CHALLENGE FOR EACH PARTY.

I THINK IT IS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL AND STATE LEVEL.

FOR DEMOCRATS THEY HAD A MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED NIGHT EARLIER THIS WEEK.

THE FACTS ON THE GROUND DIDN'T CHANGE THE MORNING AFTER THE ELECTION.

HOMELESSNESS IS STILL RAMPANT.

INFLATION IS STILL RAGING.

CRIME IS STILL AT LEVELS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A WHILE AND THAT WE DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT OR LEARN TO LIVE WITH.

DEMOCRATS NEED TO DEAL WITH THE FACTS ON THE GROUND.

THOSE HAVE NOT CHANGED.

FOR REPUBLICANS IT STRIKES ME DURING THIS DEEP ALMOST ETERNAL BATTLE WHICH I CALL THE GOVERNORING WING OF THE PARTY.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE AND WANT TO SERVE IN THAT CAPACITY.

THEY FAIRED PRETTY WELL WHETHER IT IS CHRIS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

THE WING OF THE PARTY THAT IS MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN TWITTER CLICKS AND IMPERPETUAL OUTRAGE.

HOPEFUL PICK WISELY.

>> LET'S GO THROUGH OUR LIGHTNING ROUND.

YOU CAN DO OVER ELECTION SEASON OR COLORADO IN GENERAL.

I'M SURE SOME THINGS ARE NOT SO GREAT.

LET'S START WITH YOU WITH A LOW.

>> HEIDI GANAHL DURING HER LAST WEEK AND HER CONCESSION SORT OF SPEECH.

SHE WENT ON THE PODCAST AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD NOT -- IF YOU ARE RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF COLORADO BE PUSHING ELECTION.

RUNS A PODCAST WHO IS BASED HERE.

>> WELL, I THINK THE PROBLEM WOULD BE ME LAST WEEK WHEN I DESCRIBED THE PROPOSED BOULDER LIBRARY ORDINANCE.

I WAS WRONG HOW FAR EAST THE BOUNDARY WOULD GO.

THANKS TO THE VERY THOUGHTFUL VIEWERS WROTE ME NICE LETTERS EXPLAINING MY ERROR.

>> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

ERIC.

>> THE CENTER OF THAT CAMPAIGN WAS OFF KEY FROM DAY ONE.

OUR FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PROVIDED A TEXTBOOK LESSON IN NARCISSISM.

GOING ON NEWS NATION.

WHEN FOX NEWS WON'T ADD YOU THAT'S WHEN YOU GO TO NEWS NATION.

HIS COMMENT WAS TO THE EFFECT QUOTE ON QUOTE IF REPUBLICANS DO WELL, I SHOULD GET ALL THE CREDIT.

IF THEY DON'T DO WELL I SHOULDN'T BE BLAMED AT ALL.

THAT IS NARCISSISM.

>> THERE IS JUST WE HAVE TOP ELECTION OFFICIALS WHO TIME AND TIME AGAIN THERE ARE PROBLEMS SO FAR THEY ARE REPORTING.

THAT IS DAMAGING TO DEMOCRACY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

ON A HAPPY NOTE.

VETERANS DAY.

THERE ARE EVENTS THIS WEEKEND.

THERE IS A RACE.

IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN COLORADO FREEDOM MEMORIAL WHERE THEY ILLUMINATING IN HONOR OF EVERYONE WHO DIED IN A WAR IN COLORADO.

>> I'LL CHECK THAT OUT.

>> THIS WEEKEND.

>> ANOTHER REPUTATION, GEORGE VOTING IMPROVEMENT LAWS OVER 4 MILLION PEOPLE THE HIGHEST MIDTERM TURNOUT IN THE STATE'S HISTORY.

THAT IS BETTER COLORADO'S 51% IN THE MID TURN ELECTION.

THE OWNERS MOVED THE ALL-STAR FROM ATLANTA TO DENVER BECAUSE THEY PRETENDED THEY KNEW COLORADO'S LAW WAS BETTER.

THE OWNERS ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS.

>> OKAY.

YOU GOT THAT NEGATIVE IN THERE TOO.

>> TWO EXSEMILY PUBLIC OFFICIALS LEAVING THE SCENE.

WHAT A CAREER.

WHAT A GOOD HUMAN BEING.

FINE PERSON.

MORE LOCAL SPECIFICALLY TO COLORADO SPRINGS CITY COUNCILWOMAN SOME OF US KNEW HER AS STEPHANIE FINALLY.

SHE IS NOW FACING SADLY, OPTISTICLY A CANCER BATTLE.

IS STEPPING ASIDE FROM HER CITY COUNCIL SEAT.

>> WE WISH HER WELL.

>> I'M STILL ON ELECTIONS.

ELECTION DENIERS DIDN'T MATERIALIZE.

THERE WAS A RECORD NUMBER OF BALLOTS TURNED IN ON ELECTION DAY.

THAT IS A HUGE WIN.

>> THAT IS WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR.

THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR THIS WEEK.

TODAY IS VETERANS DAY.

I'D LIKE TO CLOSE BY HONORING ALL THE VETERANS WATCHING THIS SHOW AND THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ALL IN OUR LIVES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.

AS ALWAYS WE WELCOME YOUR COMMENTS.

PLEASE SHARE THEM WITH US ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES OR EMAIL US AT CIO PBS12.ORG.

I'M KYLE DYER THANK YOU FOR WATCHING COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

I WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK HERE ON PBS12.
