>>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

I'M YOUR GUEST HOST, KRISTA KAFER, SUNDAY COLUMNIST WITH THE DENVER POST.

WE'RE AT MY FAVORITE BOOKSTORE THE TATTERED COVER.

TONIGHT, WE'RE JOINED BY PATRICIA CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD, ERIC SONDERMANN, COLUMNIST FOR THE GAZETTE AND COLORADOPOLITICS.COM, MICHELLE LYNG, PRESIDENT OF NOVITAS COMMUNICATIONS, AND SEAN WALSH OF SEAN WALSH CONSULTING.

LET'S GET STARTED.

SECRETARY OF STATE JENA GRISWOLD MISTAKENLY SENT POSTCARDS TO ABOUT 30,000 NONCITIZENS ENCOURAGING THEM TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

WILL MISTAKE HURT HER REELECTION PROSPECTS?

WILL IT BOLSTER ELECTION CONSPIRACY THEORISTS' CLAIMS?

PATRICIA WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> I THINK BOTH WILL HAPPEN.

EVERY TIME THERE IS AN ELECTION THERE IS SOME BLUNTER WHETHER A CITY BALLOT, STATE BALLOT, COUNTY BALLOT.

WHY THEY DON'T HIRE PROOFREADERS, I DON'T KNOW.

DENVER JUST HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPANISH VERSION OF THE BLUE BOOK WHICH WHATEVER IT IS CALLED IN DENVER WHERE THEY HAD TYPOS AND THEY REPEATED SECTIONS.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE HIRE PROOFREADER?

THERE IS A REASON THEY EXIST.

IN THIS CASE 30,000 POSTCARDS SENT TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE SUGGESTING THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

THERE ARE SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE ANYONE TRIES TO REGISTER AFTER THIS, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO.

WHY ARE WE SENTING 30,000 POSTCARDS BY ACCIDENT TO THE WRONG PEOPLE.

SHE SHOULD HAVE KEPT AN EYE ON IT.

>> THIS IS THE SECOND MISTAKE COMING FROM THIS OFFICE.

>> THEY HAD A DEBATE LAST NIGHT.

OF COURSE, PAM WENT AFTER HER.

BLUNDERS HAPPEN.

THEY SEEM TO HAPPEN REPEATEDLY.

THE PERSON IN CHARGE HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

I NOTED THE POSTCARDS THAT WENT OUT HAD JENA'S NAME ON IT.

WHEN THEY HAD TO SEND A CORRECTION POSTCARD JENA WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

THE SAD THING IS IT DOES FEED INTO THIS NARRATIVE.

I THINK IT IS A FALSE NARRATIVE.

SOMETHING IS WRONG OR BROKEN OR PER CAROUS IN OUR ELECTION SYSTEM.

>> THEY COULD USE THIS AS EVIDENCE AS THEIR CLAIMS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> LET'S BE REAL.

SHE DOESN'T NEED CONSPIRACY THEORIEST.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE.

THEY DO SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF BLUNDERS.

WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE AS MUCH OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

BRING BACK BORING.

>> BRING BACK BORING.

I LIKE THAT.

WE DO HAVE A GOOD ELECTION SYSTEM HERE IN COLORADO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?

>> WELL, I THINK THERE WAS A DEBATE AS ERIC POINTED OUT.

PAM MADE SOME NICE POINTS.

THERE WAS NOT SO SUBTLE DIG ON JENA.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS A DIFFERENT STAFF IN A PREVIOUS -- FOR THE PREVIOUS ERROR.

SHE HAS THREE CHIEF OF STAFFS, AND TWO DIFFERENT LEGISLATIVES.

THE POINT PAM WAS TRYING TO MAKE WAS THAT JENA IS A DIFFICULT PERSON TO WORK FOR.

>> SPEAKING OF ELECTION S A DENVER JUDGE ORDERED A HALT TO THE EFFORT TO RECALL SENATOR KEVIN PRIOLA LAUNCHED A MONTH AGO WHEN THE LEGISLATOR SWITCHED FROM REPUBLICAN TO DEMOCRAT.

RECALL ADVOCATES PLAN TO APPEAL.

WHAT WAS THE COURT'S REASONING?

HOW DOES THIS IMPACT REPUBLICANS' CHANCES ELECTION DAY?

ERIC.

I'M NOT AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> I DON'T THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS JENA GRISWOLD DECISION WHETHER THE OLD DISTRICT OR NEW DISTRICT IN WHICH THIS RECALL WOULD BE CONDUCTED.

I HAPPENED TO THINK SHE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION.

THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED PRIOLA SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO DECIDE TO RECALL HIM OR NOT.

SHE WENT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

IT HAS NOT BEEN A GOOD WEEK FOR OUR INCUMBENT SECRETARY OF STATE.

SHE IS ALL OVER THE AIR WAVES AND PAM ANDERSON IS NOT ON THE AIR WAVES.

THE DECISION BY JUDGE MOSES WAS THE CORRECT DECISION THE VOTERS WHO ELECTED A CANDIDATE THAT DISTRICT SHOULD BE RECALLING THEM NOT THE VOTERS OF NEW DISTRICT THAT HAS NOT TAKEN EFFECT.

>> THE INABILITY TO TAKE THAT RECALL BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT FOR REPUBLICANS TO TAKE THE SENATE WHICH IS THEIR AIM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK MICHELLE?

>> I THINK REPUBLICANS ARE ENERGIZE BY THE OVERREACH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

I HAVE LESS CONCERN ON PRIOLA.

THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY, A LOT OF EFFORT TRYING TO HELP HIM WITH THIS RECALL EFFORT.

I HAVE TO ASK WHY?

HE IS KIND OF A MICHAEL SCOTT OF COLORADO POLITICS.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, I THINK REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO HAVE A DECENT YEAR.

>> DO YOU CONCUR SEAN?

>> WE ARE LOOKING TURNING THREE STATES AND TAKING THE SENATE WITH KEVIN'S CONVERSION.

IT WILL TAKE A STEEPER CLIMB.

I DON'T THINK THIS ISSUE HAS IMPLICATIONS OUTSIDE OF KEVIN PRIOLA'S DISTRICT.

I DON'T THINK -- THE PARTY DEW POINT LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE WHO WERE GIVEN A LOT OF MONEY, STRONGLY SUPPORTED BY A PARTY WHEN HE RAN IN 2016 AND 2020 WHEN THEY TURN.

KEVIN VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS A LOT.

IT WAS A KNIFE IN THE BACK.

TO DO SO WAS UNDER THE CLOAK OF BIPARTISAN.

WHEN WE WANT BIPARTISAN IN THE LEGISLATURE ONE HOUSE SHOULD BE REPUBLICAN, THE OTHER DEMOCRAT.

THAT WAY MUCH LESS GETS DONE AND BENEFITS THE TAXPAYERS.

>> IT TURNS OUT NOW THAT DENVER IS NUMBER ONE IN PORCH PACKAGE THEFT.

939 PACKAGES HAVE BEEN REPORTED STOLEN SO FAR THIS YEAR.

THE CITY IS ALSO NUMBER ONE IN CAR THEFT.

DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR DRIVEWAY OR ON YOUR PORCH.

HOW DID DENVER GET TO THIS POINT?

WILL ESCALATING CRIME IMPACT THE ELECTION?

>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE HOPING IT IMPACTS THIS ELECTION.

BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK WE ARE IN A PERFECT STORM.

WE ARE TRANSITIONS WHAT SOME CALL COW TOWN INTO A BIG CITY.

FRANKLY, WE HAVE FEWER POLICE OFFICERS.

IT IS HARDER TO RETAIN THEM.

WE HAVE PEOPLE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THEY CAN'T LEAVE THEIR BIKES ON THE FRONT PORCH ANYMORE.

I HAD MINE STOLEN IN DENVER.

AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE IS A LOT WE ARE GETTING MORE PACKAGES.

DURING COVID PEOPLE WANTED TO STUFF TO DO AND AMAZON WAS HAPPY TO OBLIGE.

THERE IS A LOT MORE PACKAGES TOO.

>> A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY.

THE DENVER CITY COUNCIL ALLOTTED MONEY.

IS IT TOO LITTLE OR TOO LATE.

DO YOU THINK VOTERS WILL SAY THEY ARE ON THE JOB?

>> I THINK THE DAMAGE IS DONE.

THE LEGISLATURE IN THE MOMENT THE RIOTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS DURING COVID.

I THINK THEY WERE ACTING WITH THE MOMENT DEMANDED.

WHEN YOU LEGISLATE IN HASTE WHEN YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO DUE PROCESS, WHEN YOU DON'T TAKE PUBLIC TESTIMONY.

I THINK WE ARE SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES.

>> OVER CRIME TOO MUCH PATTY.

>> A PORCH PILOT TOOK -- CRIME LET'S REMEMBER SOME OF THE BILLS THAT CAME THROUGH AT THAT TIME.

HAVING TO WEAR BODY CAMERAS.

LOOK WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT IS GOING TO MAKE IN A LOT OF CASES WHERE YOU ACTUALLY MAYBE ABLE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

WE ARE SEEING THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THAT.

SOME GOOD FOR THE POLICE OFFICERS, SOME BAD FOR THE POLICE OFFICERS.

GETTING MUCH CLOSER TO WHAT REALITY IS THERE.

OFFICERS CAN BE HELD LIABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS IS IMPORTANT.

IF AN OFFICER -- AS WE HAVE SEEN THROUGH THE CASES THAT HAVE GONE SO FAR.

IF THE OFFICERS FOLLOWING POLICY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE HELD LIABLE.

SO PORCH PIRATES.

I LOVE THE DAYS WHEN PEOPLE HAD THE FAKE PACKAGES THAT YOU WOULD OPEN THEM AND SNAKES WOULD JUMP UP.

IT IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY.

YOU JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET AROUND IT.

>> I LOVE THE IDEA SNAKES IN A PACKAGE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> I THINK IT IS GREAT COLORADO HAS SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT.

WE CAN'T BRAG ABOUT FOOTBALL BETWEEN BRONCOS, CU.

WE -- THERE ARE BRAGGING RIGHTS.

OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A PUBLIC POLICY RESPONSE.

MICHELLE AND SEAN ARE RIGHT.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE HOPING TO RIDE THIS ISSUE AND RIDE IT HARD.

WE WILL SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT IS.

BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A PUBLIC POLICY RESPONSE.

COLORADO SHOULD NOT BE NUMBER ONE IN ANY OF THESE FACTORS.

THE TRADITION OF THE STATE DOES NOT INDICATE WHO WE ARE BUT IT IS WHO WE ARE AT THE MOMENT.

>> AS PATTY ALLUDED DID STILL YOUR ANSWER ABOUT KEVIN.

I WANT TO TURN TO YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.

>> IT IS FASCINATED THAT HE MOVED WHEN HE DID.

WE REMEMBER THE OUTRAGE WHEN BEN CAMPBELL WENT THE OTHER DIRECTION.

IT WILL HELP THE DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE.

I THINK HE IS THE FIT IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

>> THANKS, PATTY.

>>> DENVER WATER RATES ARE GOING UP FIRST OF THE YEAR.

AS DROUGHT LINGERS AND THE WEST'S POPULATION CONTINUES TO RISE, ESCALATING COSTS ARE UNLIKELY TO ABATE.

THE COLORADO RIVER COMPACT TURNS 100 NEXT MONTH.

HOW DO THINGS NEED TO CHANGE?

SEAN?

>> DENVER WATER IS RAISING RATES.

WATER RATES ARE GOING UP.

NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH.

I THINK PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY AT THOSE RATES FOR SAFE AND CLEAN WATER SUPPLY.

THE MONEY WILL GO TO IMPORTANT ISSUES LIKE LED PIPES AND WATER STORAGE.

ENERGY PRICES ARE GOING UP TOO.

YOU WILL START PLAYING FOR TRASH WHILE COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING ARE STILL FREE.

A LOT OF IT IS INFLUENCE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR ON THE THINGS THEY PAY FOR.

WHETHER IT IS DENVER WATER OR THE CITY OF DENVER RAISING THE PRICE OF SOMETHING PEOPLE WILL USE IT LESS.

THE COLORADO RIVER WATER COMPACT IS 100 YEARS OLD WAS CREATED IN A WET YEAR 17 MILLION ACRES OF WATER IT WAS PRODUCING.

NOW IT IS DOWN TO 12.

EXPERTS IT HAS TO BE CUT ANOTHER TWO TO FOUR.

SO CONSERVATION -- I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY REASON FOR PANIC.

CONSERVATION AND SOME FLEXIBILITY AND POLITICAL WILL IS NEEDED.

>> THE FOLKS THAT RELY ON THE LAKE PAY BE PANICKING AS THOSE ARE DOWN 27% CAPACITY.

DO WE NEED TO CHANGE SOMETHING WITH THIS RIVER COMPACT TO MAKE IT BETTER INSYNC?

>> IF YOU ARE IN ARIZONA OR IN NEVADA, IF YOU ARE IN CALIFORNIA YOU ARE SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH FARMERS.

THEY ARE BEING PAID TO USE LESS WATER.

THERE IS A PROBLEM DOWNSTREAM.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE HERE IN COLORADO.

WE WILL SEE IT TOO.

WE WILL SEE WE WILL HAVE TO RATION WATER MORE.

DENVER WATER IN GENERAL HAS BEEN THE MOST EFFICIENT IN TELLING YOU TO LESS WATER AND REWARDING YOU FOR NOT CHARGING MUCH MORE.

THE XCEL LIKE CAPTURING YOUR THERMOSTAT.

IF WE SEE THE WATER CAPTURING THE FLOW OF OUR SHOWERS PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AS HAPPY.

WE WILL BE PAYING FOR TRASH.

HOW ABOUT SIDEWALKS IN DENVER.

PEOPLE AT A CERTAIN POINT ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY TO KEEP ADDING COSTS FOR SERVICES.

>> PATTY IS RIGHT WE HAVE GOTTEN BETTER IN CUTTING DOWN WATER.

THE MAJOR PART OF WATER IS BEING TAKEN BY AGRICULTURE.

90% IS USED IN AGRICULTURE.

ARE THERE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE HAPPENING THERE.

>> YOU ARE DEAD ON RIGHT KRISTA.

IT IS GREAT TO ESCAPE AND TAKE SHORTER SHOWERS AND ALL THE CONVERSATION MEASURES THAT ARE POSSIBLE.

UNTIL YOU ADDRESS THAT BIG GORILLA.

IT IS BEING ADDRESSED IN SOME FORM TO MAKE IT LESS WATER CONSUMPTIVE.

I WAS FORTUNATE TO ATTEND A SEMINAR A FEW WEEKS BACK ON THE WATERBOARD, HER COLLEAGUE IN FROM XCEL ENERGY AND THEY PUT ON A SERIES OF SEMINARS TO EXPLAIN THE WATER CHALLENGE FACING THE STATE AND THE COLORADO RIVER COMPACT.

THE COMPACT WAS PREMISE PROVIDING 15 MILLION ACRE FEED OF WATER.

WE ARE NOW DOWN TO 12.

THE PROJECTIONS IT COULD FLATTEN AT NINE MILLION ACRES.

60% OF WHAT THE PREMISE IS.

OBVIOUSLY THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE A REACTION IN THOSE DOWNSTREAM STATES.

BUT THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE THERE.

PEOPLE EQUAL VOTES.

IT WILL HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT ON COLORADO AND UPSTREAM STATES.

SPEAKING AT THE GORILLAS.

WATER IS THE 800 POUND GORILLA AND HOW THAT GETS RESOLVED.

>> IT HAS REALLY TAKEN THE HIT.

WHAT DO YOU SEE GOING FORWARD, MICHELLE?

>> I HAVE TO SAY -- I WOULD KILL FOR DENVER WATER PRICES.

I LIVE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY.

I PAY SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT THESE WATER PRICES ARE REALLY GOING TO START AFFECTING PEOPLE WHO ARE SORT ON THE BUBBLE.

PEOPLE WHO MAY BE ARE JUST AFFORDING THEIR RENT OR JUST AFFORDING THEIR MORTGAGE.

I JUST THINK WE NEED A NEW DEAL.

THIS ISN'T WORKING.

I THINK WE NEED A NEW DEAL.

THERE IS A LOT OF MEASURES.

I THINK THIS IS IN A DIFFERENT TIME AND TIME TO MOVE ON.

>>> AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SOMETHING NICE....

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO DO TWO BACK TO BACK.

>> TWO DISGRACES?

>> YEAH.

>> WE SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH ALEX JONES THE JUDGMENT.

WE SEE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE SHOOTING DOWN IN FLORIDA IN PARKLAND AND THE FACT HE IS NOT GOING TO BE SENTENCED TO LIFE -- HE IS SENTENCED TO LIFE NOT GOING TO BE PUT TO DEATH.

THE ONGOING SHOOTING TRAGEDY THERE ARE REFERENCES TO COLUMBINE SO WE IN COLORADO NUMBER ONE IN AUTOTHEFT AND NUMBER ONE IN SCHOOL SHOOTING MEMORIES.

GO BACK TO ALEX JONES.

YOU CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT YOU SAY.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS NOT ABSOLUTE.

WE ARE ALL SAFE ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.

I DON'T THINK WE WILL BE PAYING A BILLION DOLLARS LIKE ALEX JONES.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY ANYTHING WITHOUT PROOF WHEN IT IS FALSE.

>> LIES ARE OUT.

TRUTH IS IN.

LET'S HOPE.

ERIC YOUR DISGRACING OF THE WEEK.

>> I THOUGHT WE SHOULD DO A WHOLE SHOW OF DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

IN SOME WEEKS IT IS TOP OF MIND.

YOU WANT TWO?

KANYE WEST GOES WITHOUT SAYING ANTI-SEMITISM THERE.

IT IS OUT IN THE OPEN.

SECONDLY, IT PAINS ME THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBER STEVE DURHAM ON THIS CAMPAIGN, ON THIS KICK NOW THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE TEACHING ABOUT THE HOLACAUST.

IT NEEDS TO BE ON SOCIALISM.

IT HAS BECOME ONE POLITICAL FOOTBALL BECAUSE THE NAZI PARTY WAS THE NATIONAL GERMAN'S SOCIAL PARTY.

HE WANTS TO USE THIS TO FOCUS ON THE EVILS OF SOCIALISM WHERE THERE IS NO ARGUMENT ABOUT.

SOMETIMES IT IS A STRETCH TOO FAR.

LET'S KEEP THE EYE ON THE HOLOCAUST.

>> I THINK OF SOUR SOCIETY RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS A STORY I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS TRUE.

IF ANY OF THESE ELEMENTS ARE TRUE, IT DESERVES THE DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

ADAM FROM DISTRICT THREE.

ROLLED UP TO A DATE WHO WAS NOT HIS WIFE.

ON A TEN SPEED BIKE.

APPARENTLY THEY HAD A RENDEZVOUS ON A STORAGE UNIT.

SO IF ANY OF THOSE ARE TRUE DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

>> OR BILLION DOLLARS LAWSUIT.

>> SO MAYBE THE STORAGE UNIT.

>> SHE DESERVES BETTER THAN A STORAGE UNIT.

>> SEAN?

>> A TREE SHRUB AND WEED NERD.

I HAVE A PERSONAL STORY.

A FRIEND AND I RENOVATED A DUPLEX.

WE PLANTED AUTUMN MAPLE AND THEN WE GOT A SIGN THAT SAID DON'T YOU REALIZE THE LUXURY CONDO IS DESTROYING THE CHARACTER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT IS THE PERSON THAT HUNG THAT STRIPPING THE BARK OFF OF THIS POOR TREE.

I WATCHED THE TREE DIE.

WE HAD TO CUT IT DOWN.

WHAT CAN BE MORE DISGRACEFUL THAN SOMEONE WHO WILL KILL A TREE.

SOMEBODY THAT IS WORKED UP THAT THEY KILLED A TREE.

>> THAT IS DISGRACEFUL.

TIME TO SAY SOMETHING NICE.

PATTY?

>> I LOVE THE STORY ABOUT CAMP HAIL.

YOU HAD THE ARMY -- SOLDIERS TRAINING HOW TO FIGHT IN ITALY IN WINTER.

NOW WE ARE GOING TO FIND THANKS TO JOE BIDEN NAMED IT A NATIONAL MONUMENT.

THAT IS A GREAT MEMORY, HISTORY FOR VETS.

A GOOD MOVE.

>> ERIC.

I'LL GO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.

THE JUDGE STEPPED DOWN AS THE CHIEF JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT HERE IN DENVER.

A GREAT GUY.

DID AN HONOR JOB.

JOB WELL-DONE.

>> HE IS A WONDERFUL MAN.

MICHELLE?

>> I'M GOING CLOSER TO HOME.

I WANTED TO GIVE A BIG SHOUTOUT TO THE CASTLE ROCK RAPTORS.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OFF EVERY GAME.

THEY FINALLY PULL THROUGH ON SATURDAY WITH A TOTAL SHUTOUT.

SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM FOR THE RAPTORS AND BRONCOS IT IS YOUR TURN.

>> SEAN, WHAT IS SOMETHING NICE YOU CAN SAY?

>> I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT POLITICIANS.

THE TREASURER DAVE YOUNG HIS REPUBLICAN OPPONENT.

THEY PERFORMED IN THEIR DEBATES WITH DIGNITY.

THE SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL STUDIES HOSTED THIS DEBATE.

IT WAS AN HONEST TO GOODNESS DEBATE.

THEY DID SO WELL IT WILL RUIN THE STAIN OF 2020 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

>> I'M GOING TO TAKE A LICENSE AS A MODERATOR AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE WHOLE TEAM HERE AT PBS12 FOR MAKING THIS SPECIAL NIGHT POSSIBLE.

YOU CAN'T SEE THEM THEY ARE HERE BEHIND THE SCENES BEHIND THE WORK.

I WANT TO THANK THE TATTER.
