>>> HELLO, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO THE AUGUST 5TH, 2022, EDITION OF COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

IT'S A NEW MONTH AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU.

I'M KYLE DRYER AND I'M YOUR GUEST HOST FOR THIS EDITION OF COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

AUGUST USED TO BE CONSIDERED A SLOW NEWS MONTH, BUT I DON'T THINK SLOW NEWS DAYS REAL EXIST ANY MORE.

OUR FIRST TOPIC, THE PRIMARY ELECTIONS THAT TOOK PLACE IN FIVE STATES EARLIER THIS WEEK INCLUDING OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE EAST, KANSAS, WHERE THERE WAS HIGH VOTER TURNOUT TO PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS.

KANSAS VOTERS DECIDED AGAINST REMOVING THE RIGHT TO ABORTION FROM THE STATE CONSTITUTION.

THE DEFEAT OF THE BALLOT REFERENDUM COMES WEEKS AFTER THE SUPREME COURT RULED TO OVERTUN ROE V. WADE.

THE 1973 DECISION THAT PREVIOUSLY GUARANTEED A NATIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION.

AND OUR LEAD OFF CHAIR IS ERIC SONDERMANN.

ERIC THIS WAS A SURPRISE.

>> IT WAS A SURPRISE.

I'M NOT SURE THE OUTCOME WAS A SURPRISE.

THE MARGIN WAS A SURPRISE.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU.

I HOPE THAT IS MORE REGULAR.

THE MARGIN WAS A SURPRISE.

I KEEP FLASHING BACK TO MAYBE 20 YEARS AGO THERE WAS A BOOK THAT GOT A LOT OF CIRCULATION ON THE POLITICAL LEFT CALLED WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS.

THAT BOOK TITLE SEEMED TO BE FLIPPED ON THE HEAD THE OTHER NIGHT.

THIS WAS THE FIRST REFERENDUM ON THE ABORTION ISSUE SINCE THE DOBBS DECISION.

THIS WAS NOT CALIFORNIA, THIS WAS NOT NEW YORK.

AND NOT EVEN COLORADO.

THIS WAS KANSAS.

A DEEP RED STATE.

DONALD TRUMP WON BY 18 POINTS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

YET, THEY SENT A WARNING SHOT OUT TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.

WE CAN HAVE DEBATES OVER REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE AND RIGHTS TO ABORTION.

WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE DEBATES WITHIN CERTAIN LINES.

IF YOU HAVE A BLANKET MEASURE TO TAKE AWAY TO A CHOICE EVEN IF A DEEP RED STATE IT IS GOING TO FAIR POORLY.

THIS IS A WARNING SIGN TO A WHOLE LOT OF REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST THAT MAYBE 2022 MAY NOT BE THE CAKE WALK.

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS RAMIFICATIONS.

IN THIS CASE IT HAD A MAJOR PUSH BACK.

>> LET'S ASK THE GUY SITTING NEXT TO YOU.

SAGE IS THIS AN EYE OPENER TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?

>> OF COURSE, IT IS.

ANY TIME YOU LOSE A BALLOT MEASURE IT SHOULD BE AN EYE OPENER.

HERE IN COLORADO, I THINK THE REACTION HAS BEEN RELATIVELY MUTED WHEN IT COMES TO REPUBLICANS.

THERE HAS BEEN EFFORT WITH LEGISLATIVE LEADERS TO FOCUS ON ISSUES THAT MATTER TO COLORADOANS SUMP AS CRIME, SUCH AS EDUCATION.

REPUBLICANS GO THAT IS INTERESTING.

THOSE ARE FAST ENDING RESULTS.

BACK TO THE ISSUES THAT THEY THINK ARE WINNERS.

THIS IS AN ISSUE NOT GOING AWAY.

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT WILL BE GOING ON FOR YEARS.

I THINK THAT YOU LOOK AT GOVERNORS LIKE GLENN AND DESANTOS YOU LOOK AT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY EUROPE.

THE VAST MAJORITY SAY 13 WEEKS 14 WEEKS.

IT IS HARD TO GAUGE WHERE THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO LAND.

THOSE POLICIES ARE GOING TO THE EFFECTIVE ROAD MAP.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE OTHER STATES RESPOND.

JUSTINE SANDOVAL IS FORMER CHAIR YOUNG DEMOCRATS.

JUSTINE IN DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT IN KANSAS WAS 60% MORE.

THE TURNOUT WAS SOMETHING.

>> YES, DEFINITELY.

I SPENT ALMOST A DECADE HERE WORKING ON ABORTION RIGHTS.

TWO ANTI-ABORTION MEASURES.

WE KNOW HERE THOSE KINDS OF BALLOT MEASURES ARE BEING -- IT TURNS OUT VOTERS.

I THINK RIGHT NOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COME PLACE SENT THAT ROE WOULD NOT BE OVERTURNED.

SO, I THINK, THERE WAS A FIRE IN A LOT OF DEMOCRATS IN KANSAS TO GET OUT AND NOT SKIP THE PRIMARY THIS YEAR TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE VOTING ON THESE THINGS.

ACROSS THE BOARD ABORTION IS AN ISSUE THAT WILL GET PEOPLE OUT.

IN 2014 THEY WERE PRO-CHOICE AMERICA DID A POLL THAT SEVEN IN TEN PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO ACCESS AN ABORTION.

THAT IS IN THE REDDEST PART OF KANSAS AND BLUEST PART OF NEW YORK THAT IS TRUE.

I'M EXCITED PEOPLE CAME OUT TO DEFEAT THAT BALLOT.

I'M EXCITED TO SEE DEMOCRATS SHOWED TO THE POLLS.

>> PENFIELD TATE, THERE IS INFLATION, GAS PRICES, AFFORDABILITY.

THERE WAS SO MUCH ENERGY AROUND THIS DECISION.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE PEOPLE PROBABLY VOTING NOT NECESSARILY WITH THEIR PARTY LINES.

THIS IS AN ISSUE PEOPLE VOTE FROM THEIR HEART AND WHAT THEY THINK.

IT IS A PRIVATE DECISION.

>> IT IS A VERY PRIVATE DECISION.

YOU KNOW, TO BALLOT MEASURE WAS A MAJOR MISSTEP BY REPUBLICANS IN KANSAS.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO CONSIDER TO PUT IN CONTEXT.

NUMBER ONE THE DOBBS DECISION IS THE FIRST TIME THE U.S. SUPREME COURT REVOKED OR TOOK BACK SOMETHING THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED AS A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.

REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION SOMEWHERE 65% OF AMERICANS THAT IS A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

GOVERNMENT HAS NO -- GOT NO ROLE HERE.

WHEN I SERVED IN THE LEGISLATURE.

EVEN THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO THIS ISSUE.

IT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LEFT TO THE FAMILY.

WE DON'T NEED TO LEGISLATE AGAINST IT.

SOME OF THESE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THESE HALF MEASURES TRY TO ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH THE DOBBS DECISION AND TRY TO RESTRICT CHOICE.

I THINK THOSE EFFORTS MAY BACKFIRE AS WELL.

>> HERE IN COLORADO VOTERS HEAD BACK NOVEMBER 8TH.

ANY INITIATIVES TO MAKE THE BALLOT THEY HAVE TO MITT 144,000 SIGNATURES.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVES ANNOUNCED THEY HAVE JUST ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO GET IT ON THE BALLOT.

WE ARE WAITING FOR THE TAXPAYER BILL OF RIGHTS REFUNDS.

THIS CALLS FOR SOME OF THAT MONEY TO BE DIPPED INTO.

>> DEFINITELY.

IT DOES DIP INTO REFUNDS.

OBVIOUSLY IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN DEBATING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

WE HAVE SEEN FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS THE COST HAS INCREASED.

THERE IS A CONTRADICTION IN WHAT THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE BALLOT.

WE HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE BILLS.

WE HAVE SEEN HOUSE BILL 1362 MORE EFFICIENT AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT MOVING AWAY FROM NATURAL GAS.

THEY LOOKED AT THAT BILL AND SAID THIS COULD INCREASE THE COST OF HOUSE.

HOW DO WE MAKE HOUSES MORE AFFORDABLE?

HOW TO BUILD NEW HOMES AND AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE LEGISLATURE PASSING LAWS BUILDING HOMES MORE EXPENSIVE.

ANY KIND OF EFFORT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT PLAYED A BIG ROLE IS DOOMED TO FAIL.

IT IS A LOT BETTER WRITTEN THAN A LOT OTHERS WE HAVE SEEN.

WHAT I WOULD BE SURPRISED IT AFFECTED HOME PRICES IN THE STATE.

>> JUSTINE, I WAS MENTIONING THE REFUND THAT ARE COMING.

THERE IS A LETTER IN THOSE ENVELOPES.

A LETTER FROM THE GOVERNOR TELLING US WHY WE ARE GETTING THIS MONEY.

IT IS INTERESTING WE HAS ADDED THAT INTO THIS.

>> I BE CAUTIOUS HOW I ANSWER THIS.

WHEN POLITICIANS HAVE SENT LETTERS OUT WITH REFUNDS AND FOOD BOXES IN THE PAST IT WAS PRETTY CRINGY TO ME THEN.

I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE BEST LOOK.

ONE THING I DID APPRECIATE ABOUT THE LETTER THOUGH, FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN THERE IS AN EXPLANATION TO WHY YOU ARE RECEIVING THESE REFUNDS.

THIS WAS A REFUND COME REGARDLESS.

I AM NOT GOING TO QUESTION WHY THOSE REFUNDS CAME OUT EARLY.

MOST COLORADOANS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE BATTLE OF TABOR.

MORE PEOPLE IN POLICY HAVE A HARD TIME GOING BACK AND UNDERSTANDING COLORADO'S TAX CODE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE DOING MORE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT, WHY THEY DON'T?

HOW WE HAVE A BETTER TAX POLICY FOR ALL COLORADOANS.

>> THE REPUBLICANS PARTY ARE BEYOND CRINGY WITH THIS.

>> SURE.

THEY NEED TO BE.

THEY NEED TO REACT IN SOME WAY.

THEY FUMBLED THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF HER RUNNING MATE FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

AS OTHERS HAVE SAID AT THE TABLE, WE HAVE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS IN THIS STATE AND IN THIS COUNTRY.

THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND THAT.

I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS MEASURE IS THE ANSWER.

WE WILL SEE A BUNCH OF IDEAS LIKE THIS.

TO THE PRIOR POINT, WE NEED TO KEEP THIS IN CONTEXT.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO REMEMBER WE HAVE SO MANY NEW PEOPLE IN THE STATE.

IT WAS PASTED IN 1992.

PRIOR TO THAT, THE LEGISLATURE DID SOMETHING BIZARRE.

THEY REDUCED TAX RATES.

WHEN WE WERE STRUGGLING THEY INCREASED TAX RATES.

WE GAVE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS MOVE TAX RATES BACK AND FORTH.

REVENUES WERE ADJUSTED IN THAT WAY.

TABOR CHANGED ALL THIS.

IT PUT RESTRICTIONS IN THE CONSTITUTION.

YOU HAVE TO RUN MEASURES LIKE THIS IN ORDER TO MODIFY WHAT TABOR PUT IN PLACE.

SO IT WASN'T REACTION.

REPUBLICANS RAN THAT BUDGET IN COLORADO.

WE NEED TO REVISIT A HOST OF THINGS.

>> WHEN ELECTION WE THINK IS SETTLE TINA PETERS CASE?

>> I HAVE SEEN POLICE JOBS.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE THIS BOLD WHERE SHE TOOK OVER $500,000 FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS WHICH RESULTED IN A NET CHANGE OF APPROXIMATELY ZERO VOTES.

SHE GAINED 14 VOTES.

PAM ANDERSON GAINED 14 POINTS.

SHE IS STILL BEHIND BY 88,579 VOTES.

PICK WHATEVER WORD YOU WANT TO USE.

I GUESS HER SELF-ESTEEM CAN'T TAKE THE IDEA SHE LOST.

MAYBE SHE NEEDS A PARTICIPATION TROPHY AND A BLANKET.

ON THE REFUND LETTER.

JUSTINE AS A GOOD LOYAL DEMOCRAT DIDN'T WANT TO BE CRITICAL OF JARED POLIS.

THE CYNICISM BEHIND THIS WHOLE THING IS AMAZING.

THE TIMING OF IT, THE WAY POLIS IS TRYING TO GRAB CREDIT, THE LACK OF ANY CREDIT FOR TABOR.

IT IS THE TOPIC OF MY OWN COLUMN.

IT IS THE TOPIC OF MY NEXT COLUMN.

POLIS HAS A BUNCH OF APPLICABLE TALENT.

HE IS ABLE TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE.

>> OUR THIRD TOPIC.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DENVER SPECIFICALLY DPS WHICH PLAYED $2 MILLION TO SETTLE ALLEGATIONS OF USING FUNDS.

TO RECEIVE AN AMERICORP YOU MUST RECEIVE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF REQUIREMENTS.

DPS CERTIFIED PUT IN THE NECESSARY HOURS WHEN THEY HADN'T.

THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR DPS.

>> ANOTHER ONE OF THESE DIPLOMATIC QUESTIONS.

BUT EVERY TIME DPS IS IN THE HEADLINES IT MAKES MY HEAD SPIN.

I THINK THE BIG ISSUE HERE IS THIS MONEY THAT WAS COMING IN WAS DEPRIVING FROM HAVING ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE RESOURCES THAT COULD BENEFIT THEM.

THEY WERE ALLOCATING MONEY WHO WERE IN DPS.

WE SHOULD BE PAYING TEACHERS A LOT MORE.

WE SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH THESE STREAMS OF REVENUE SO OUR STUDENTS ARE GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THEIR EDUCATION IN DPS.

THERE IS A LOT OF MANAGEMENT.

THERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE COSTING THEM $2.1 MILLION AND IMPACTING OUR CHILDREN.

>> RECRUITED EXISTING EMPLOYEES TO DO JOB THAT THEY WERE DOING AND THEY WEREN'T SURFACE JOBS.

>> IT IS A MESS.

I MEAN, WE HAVE OFTEN SAID AT THIS TABLE THE CON CENSUS IS RTD IS THE WORST GOVERNMENT RUN IN THE STATE.

DPS IS A CLOSE SECOND.

I FEEL BAD FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT.

HE IS NEW.

HE HAS INHERITED A MESS.

THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP TO SEE HOW HE CLEANS THIS UP.

WE KNOW HE WILL HAVE TO FIRE SOMEBODY.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO.

WE KNOW THEY GOT TO PAY BACK THE MONEY.

HE HAS TO REALIGN THE BUDGET IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THEY HAVE TO REFUND TO THE FEDS AND DETERMINE HOW THEY CHANGE AND REORIENT THEIR OPERATIONS THEY CAN QUALIFY FOR THIS FUNDING AGAIN.

THE PROGRAM IS GOOD.

IT IS USEFUL, IT IS BENEFICIAL.

IT SHOULD HELP PUT SOME KIDS AND OTHERS TO WORK.

SOMEBODY JUST CUT CORNERS AND I DON'T KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE FRAUD.

>> GOOD POINT ABOUT THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

WHEN THEY START IN AUGUST TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS COOL IT IS STILL HOT OUT.

>> I MEAN, THEY ARE GOING TO BE FEW QUESTIONS THAT YOU CAN GET ALL FOUR OF US AROUND THIS TABLE TO AGREE.

THE FACT DPS A MESS IS ONE OF THOSE ISSUES.

IT IS NOT ONLY IT IS A MESS IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORST THAN BETTER.

TO MY MIND IT IS AWFUL, IT IS THE LEAST OF IT.

YOU HAVE A COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL BOARD -- SCHOOL BOARD THERE.

IT IS NOT DYSFUNCTIONAL BECAUSE OF INTERNAL DISAGREEMENT.

IT IS RATHER MONOLIVIC.

I REFERENCE BLANK.

MAYBE THEY NEED BLANKET AS WELL.

THEY CAN'T AGREE TO REFER TO EACH THEY EVER BY WHETHER TO CALL EACH OTHER BY FIRST NAME OR SOME KIND OF FORMAL TITLE OR WHATEVER.

YOU HAVE A DYSFUNCTIONAL SCHOOL BOARD.

I HAVE TO SAY, KYLE, I FOUND IT RATHER LACKING.

THERE IS MUCH TALK IN THAT PLAN ABOUT JUSTICE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.

THERE IS AS MUCH TALK ABOUT THAT AS THERE IS ABOUT EDUCATION.

DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS WAS IN THE EDUCATION BUSINESS.

WE HAD 5% THIRD GRADERS BLACK OR BROWN READING AT GRADE LEVEL.

I WOULD LIKE FOCUS ON EDUCATION AND LET THE SOCIAL JUSTICE GO TO SOME OTHER ENTITIES.

>> YOU DON'T LIVE IN DPS.

LOOKING AT AS A PARENT -- >> I WAS GOING TO PERHAPS BEING CONTRARY BECAUSE YOU SAID EVERYONE AGREES.

I WAS GOING TO TRY TO FIND A WAY TO DEFEND DPS BUT NOT POSSIBLE.

ANY TIME YOU GOOGLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE HEAD LINES ARE THE SAME SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG SOMEWHERE.

AND QUITE FRANKLY WHAT ENDS UP GETTING THE BLIP ON THE NEWS OUTLET ARE THEIR TEST SCORES.

THAT IS WORSE FOR BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS.

WORSE FOR IMPROVERISHED STUDENTS.

IT SHOULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL KIDS REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUND TO HAVE A CHANCE AT A SUCCESSFUL LIFE.

IT SHOULD GIVE THEM CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.

DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS ABSOLUTELY FAILED AT DOING THAT.

EVERY TIME WE TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.

THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

THESE ARE ALMOST DISTRACTIONS.

EVERY TIME WE SPEND TALKING, EVERY MINUTE WE SPEND TALKING ABOUT THE DRAMA ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, ISSUES LIKE THIS, IT IS TIME WE ARE NOT TALKING HOW IN THE HECK WE CAN GET THESE KIDS TO READ, WRITE, AND READ GRADE LEVEL.

NOT JUST IN DPS BUT IT HAS BECOME THE PRIME EXAMPLE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FAILURES.

>> YES.

WE ARE IN THE FORTH QUARTER OF THIS SHOW.

LET'S TALK ABOUT BRONCOS TRAINING.

NEXT WEEK THE NEW OWNERSHIP IS EXPECTED TO TAKE EFFECT.

THIS IS A FORMALITY.

THE DEAL IS HAPPENING.

STARTING A NEW ERA IN BRONCOS COUNTRY.

IT WILL SET A RECORD FOR THE MOST MONEY PAID FOR AN AMERICAN FRANCHISE.

>> IT WILL SET ANOTHER NEW RECORD.

IT IS INTERESTING AND AMAZING HOW THE FAITH OF THE BRONCOS CONTROLS THE VIBE AND THE FEEL OF OUR COMMUNITY HERE.

BUT IT IS IMPORTANT.

I'M A LONG TIME BRONCO SEASON TICKETHOLDER.

I THOUGHT THE FAMILY WAS NICE BUT THEY BECAME DYSFUNCTIONAL.

WE GOT A NEW COACH WHO WILL BE A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT.

WE FINALLY HAVE A QUARTERBACK.

SO I THINK THERE IS REASON FOR OPTIMISM.

THE INJURIES ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

THE PEOPLE YOU SEE ON THE PRACTICE FIELD NOW ARE NOT GOING TO BE THE FINAL SQUAD NECESSARILY.

EVERYBODY'S SPIRIT HAS UPLIFTED BECAUSE IT IS TIME TO BE OPTIMISTIC FOR MANY YEARS SINCE WE WON THE LAST SUPER BOWL.

IT WAS KIND OF DEPRESSING THIS TIME OF YEAR.

IT CAN'T GET MUCH WORTH.

>> NEW ENERGY?

YOU THINK THERE WILL BE A NEW STADIUM?

OUR 20 YEAR STADIUM.

>> WHEN 20 YEAR STADIUM ARE RECARDED AS RELICS.

THAT STADIUM LOOKS SUFFICIENT TO ME.

IF THEY CAN AFFORD 4.65 BILLION WHAT THEY DO WITH PRIVATE DOLLARS GOD BLESS THEM.

DON'T ASK ME FOR TAX DOLLARS OR TAX CREDITS.

GOING REAL QUICK, WE HAVE THREE OF OUR FOUR PROFESSIONAL FRANCHISE OWNED BY WALTON FAMILY MEMBERS.

LORD KNOWS WE COULD USE BETTER OWNERSHIP.

ANY TIME A WALTON HEIR WANTS TO STEP FORWARD AND BUY THE ROCKIES THAT WOULD BE FUN WITH ME.

I HOPE THEY PUT MONEY IN RESEARCH.

THOSE PLAYERS ARE PAYING AN AWFUL PRICE FOR OUR VIEWING PLEASURE.

I THINK THAT HAS TO BE PART OF THE EQUATION WHEN TALKING ABOUT PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL.

>> YOU HAVE A SON, A BIG FOOTBALL FAN IN YOUR HOUSE.

DOES THIS BRING MORE ENERGY?

>> I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, GOING BACK TO THE SENATOR'S COMMENTS NEW QUARTERBACK, NEW COACH.

THIS IS THE TEAM OF ELWAY, MANNING, LITTLE.

PEOPLE EXPECT TO WIN.

EVERYONE IS OPTIMISTIC.

GIVE IT A FEW MONTHS WE GET INTO THE SEASON.

EVERYONE WILL BE SAYING I TOLD YOU SO.

QUITE FRANKLY, THEY WILL BRING A WINNING CULTURE HERE.

I THINK THE WALTON'S ARE COMMITTED TO THE COMMUNITY WHICH IS IMPORTANT.

I'M HOPEFUL WE WILL HAVE GREAT PARTNERS HERE.

I THINK EVERYONE IS EXCITED.

>> DID YOU HEAR WE HAVE ANOTHER MINORITY OWNER WHO IS CHAMPION SIR LOUIS HAMILTON.

I'M NOT A RACE PERSON.

HE HAS A LOT OF MONEY.

HE IS INTERNATIONAL.

THIS BRINGS INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION TO OUR TEAM.

THE EUROPEANS LOVE AMERICAN FOOTBALL.

>> I'M ALWAYS EXCITED DIVERSITY.

I'M A FIFTH GENERATION COLORADOAN.

BRONCOS GAME ARE TREATED LIKE A MAJOR HOLIDAY.

MY FAMILY GETS TOGETHER AND WE CELEBRATE AND WE ALWAYS FIND OURSELVES CELEBRATING THE BRONCOS EVERY YEAR.

IT IS A TRADITION HERE IN COLORADO.

IT WILL BE EXCITED TO SEE THE TEAM MOVE FORWARD.

HOPEFULLY WE WILL HAVE A GOOD SEASON.

GROW OUR POPULARITY IN FOOTBALL.

THEY DO THE OVERSEA GAMES.

BUT WE WILL BE ROUTING FOR THE BRONCOS.

>> NO ONE IS WEARING ORANGE.

WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT OUR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

>> I'LL TRY TO GO QUICKLY.

ALEX JONES JURY VERDICT YESTERDAY.

4.1 MILLION.

THERE IS PROBABLY MORE MONEY TO COME.

THE QUESTION LOCKED THEIR KIDS IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING.

>> PETER MIRE LOST NOMINATION.

THERE IS EGG ON EVERYONE'S FACE.

NOT DID THEY GO WITH A CANDIDATE THAT WOULD LOSE THE ELECTION.

THEY VIEW HIM AS A, YOU KNOW, EASIER PERSON TO BEAT.

THIS CYNICISM PEOPLE HATE IN POLITICS.

>> DISGRACE IS A STRONG WORD.

MY DISAPPOINTMENT IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE FOOD TRUCKS.

I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO CURVE THE VIOLENCE.

WE KNOW THERE ARE OTHER SOLUTIONS.

I LISTENED TO THE TESTIMONY FROM A LOT OF THE FOOD TRUCK OWNERS THIS WEEK IN CITY COUNCIL.

THIS PUTS A BURDEN ON THEM AND BEING ABLE TO MAKE MONEY AND RUN THEIR BUSINESS.

I WORKED IN THE BAR INDUSTRY IN MY 20s IN DENVER.

ONE OAF THE SOLUTIONS IS ENDING DRINKING EARLIER.

MAKING SURE THERE ARE FOOD RESOURCES AROUND AT THE END OF THE NIGHT NOT ONLY FOR PEOPLE LEAVING THE BARS BUT EMPLOYEES WHO ARE LEAVING.

>> FOR THE MURDER OF BRIANA TAYLOR TO BRING THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACTION AGAINST THEM FOR THE BOTCH EXECUTION OF A SEARCH WARRANT.

>> SPEAKER NANCY POLCY.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY HER TRIP TO TAIWAN.

STANDING WITH TAIWAN.

I'M GLAD SHE DIDN'T BACK DOWN.

>> WHAT MADE ME SMILE COLORADO 146 BIRTHDAY.

IT WAS NICE TO SEE EVERYONE.

THERE ARE PICTURES OF THE STATE LINE WHEN THEY FIRST MOVED HERE.

LOTS OF JOY CELEBRATING OUR STATE.

>> I WASN'T HERE LAST WEEK.

I REMEMBER BILL RUSSELL A GIANT, A TRAIL BLAZER.

HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

>> THAT IS ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.
