>>> HI, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO DECEMBER 3RD, 2021, EDITION OF COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

I'M YOUR HOST DOMINIC DEZZUTTI.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

WE HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND A TRIP DOWN TIME MEDICINE.

IF YOU MISSED IT AND AWARD WINNING SHIRT I WAS WEARING FOR REPRESENTING 1973 IS AVAILABLE IN OUR WEB SITE.

AN ARTICLE PIECE FROM OUR OWN PATTY CALHOUN.

BE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT IF YOU MISSED IT.

TOPIC ONE.

COLORADO LAWMAKERS HAVE ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO KEEP ABORTION LEGAL IN THE STATE BY ENSHRINING IT INTO COLORADO STATE LAW WHETHER OR NOT THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DECIDES TO OVERTURN ROE VERSUS WADE.

DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE MEG FROELICH PLANS TO SPONSOR THE LEGISLATION, STATING THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING FULL-SPECTRUM REPRODUCTIVE CARE THAT INCLUDES BIRTH CONTROL AND ABORTIONS.

PATTY CALHOUN, WE WILL BEGIN WITH YOU.

EVEN IF ROE VERSUS WADE IS OVERTURN, WHEN LAWS HAVE BEEN ON THE BALLOTS OR PROPOSALS ON THE BALLOT TO RESTRICT ABORTION RIGHTS THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.

DO YOU SEE THIS IS A NECESSARY LEGAL MOVE OR POLITICAL?

>> WELL, IT IS BOTH.

WE WOULD BE -- I WOULD SAY MOST PEOPLE IN COLORADO WOULD BE VERY CONCERN IF THERE WERE INFRINGEMENTEDS ON THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

INTERESTING YOU BRING UP '73 AND DICK LAMB ON THAT SHOW.

JUST YEARS EARLIER PUSHED THROUGH THE LEGISLATION THAT DID MAKE LEGISLATION THE FIRST STATE IN THE COUNTRY THAT ALLOWED ABORTIONS.

OBVIOUSLY, VERY LIMITED COMPARED TO WHAT IT WAS IN CERTAIN STATES.

FOR COLORADO NOW TO LOSE THE FREEDOM THAT WOMEN HAVE OVER THEIR OWN BODIES WOULD BE, I WOULD SAY CRIMINAL IN MANY WAYS.

THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU GOT POLITICS.

YOU GOT CHRISTY PUSHED THE AMENDMENT.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THINGS HAVEN'T CHANGED IN THIS COUNTRY.

LOOK HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THIS COUNTRY.

THERE COULD BE BILLS THAT COULD PASS.

I THINK TO ENSHRINE EVERYTHING WE CAN WOULD BE GOOD.

>> DAVID KOPEL, HOW DO YOU LOOK AT THE CURRENT PROPOSAL AS NECESSARY?

THERE AREN'T LAWS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IN COLORADO BUT CERTAINLY A CULTURE IN HISTORY THAT POINTS IN ONE DIRECTION.

>> WE HAVE THE LAW SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD LAMB IN 1967.

WAS STILL ONE OF THE MOST LIABLE ABORTION LAWS IN THE COUNTRY.

IT WIPED ALMOST ALMOST EVERY STATE ABORTION LAW.

IF IT IS OVERTURNED WE GO WHERE WE WERE WHERE STATES CAN DECIDE.

THE PEOPLE HAVE MADE LOTS OF DECISIONS.

THEY ENACTED CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS.

THEY HAVE LAWS ON PARENTAL NOTIFICATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS.

SO ENACTING A STATUE PROPOSALS WERE MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE LAWS HAVE BEEN SOUNDLY DEFEATED.

WILL PASS A STATUE FORMALIZING ALL THAT.

HOW FAR THEY WILL GO BETWEEN WHAT I THINK MIDDLE OF THE ROAD COLORADO WOULD FAVOR WHICH IS GENERAL ACCESS IN NORMAL SITUATIONS OR WILL THEY GO ALL THE WAY AND SAY SEX ELECTION.

>> THIS IS BRINGING OUT ENERGY IN BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUES.

IN COLORADO, IT HADN'T BEEN, YOU KNOW, THE HISTORY SHOWS IT IS NOT AND ISSUE THAT CHANGES A LOT.

IT CAN AFFECT THE POLITICS.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPOSAL WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS?

>> NOT ONLY IN COLORADO BUT NATIONWIDE A WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE IS POPULAR.

IT POLLS OVER 50% IN COLORADO AND NATIONWIDE.

IF THERE WAS A PROPOSAL TO RESTRICT IT THERE WILL BE BACKLASH.

I THINK SOMETHING WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE COLORADO INSTITUTION HAS INDEPENDENT RIGHTS THAT PROTECT YOU.

WHO IS TO SAY THE COLORADO SUPREME COURT THAT RIGHT IS IN THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION.

>> DENNIS JOINS US A PUBLIC POLICY EXPERT.

YOU LOOK AT THIS THERE ARE POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS IN COLORADO BUT ALSO WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE HOW THESE LAWMAKERS WILL HANDLE IT.

DO YOU THINK WILL WILL BE A LOT OF PUSH ONE WAY OR THE OTHER OR GET IT DONE QUICKLY.

>> I WAS BEHIND AN EFFORT TO PASS A BILL ALONG THESE LINES.

IT WAS MET WITH SOME RESIST SUBSTANTIATE FROM LEADERSHIP.

LEADERSHIP WAS WORRIED ABOUT GALVANIZING THE FAR RIGHT.

THEY WERE WORRIED IT WOULD OVERWHELM THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THERE SEEMS TO BE WILLINGNESS TO GO FORWARD.

I THINK THIS IS GREAT.

THE ONE THING I WANT TO UNDERSCORE THIS IS ONE PART OF ABORTION RIGHTS EFFORT.

WE SHOULD HAVE IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION.

NOT SO MUCH EXCLUSIVELY TO CHOICE.

I THINK WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE PUBLIC FUNDING PLAN SO CAN CREATE CHOICE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE COLORADO MOVE IN A PROGRESSIVE WAY ON THIS ISSUE.

>> AN ISSUE WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE.

>>> COLORADO STATE LEGISLATORS PROPOSED A BILL THAT WOULD INCREASE THE STATE PENSION FUND BY OVER $300 MILLION.

THAT'S $300 MILLION.

THE HIGH PRICE TAG IS AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE UP FOR THE $225 MILLION TOWARD THE PENSION THAT HAD FALLEN THROUGH LAST YEAR.

THE BILL IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHERS IN THE WORKS COULD MEAN UP TO $30 BILLION IN UNFUNDED DEBT FOR PARTICIPANTS OF THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ASSOCIATION OR PERA.

DAVID, THERE IS A LOT HERE.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A $30 BILLION SHORT FALL OVER ALL.

THE STATE PROMISING TO FEED INTO IT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS.

$225 MILLION AT A TIME.

COVID HAPPENED LAST YEAR.

NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR IT.

THERE IS A LOT THERE.

YOUR THOUGHTS.

>> THERE IS TWO WAYS TO HAVE PENSIONS THESE DAYS.

ONE IS THE FAIR WAY WHICH IS CALLED A DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN.

YOUR EMPLOYER MAKES SOME MATCH TO THAT.

THAT MONEY IS YOURS IMMEDIATELY AND IT IS GUARANTEED.

AND THAT'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE IN -- WITH PRIVATE EMPLOYERS HAVE THESE DAYS.

YOU GET YOUR MONEY TAKEN OUT BUT IT DOESN'T GO TO INTO ACCOUNT FOR YOU.

IT GOES INTO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT FUND AND THE GOVERNMENT SAYS I OWE YOU.

WE WILL PAY YOU 30 YEARS FROM NOW.

THE GOVERNMENTS DON'T FUND THOSE PENSIONS THE WAY THEY NEED TO THE MAKE THE MATCH SOUND.

THE COLORADO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS WHICH PAY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHERS AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS $30 BILLION UNDER FUNDED.

IF THEY WERE A PRIVATE BUSINESS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE PENSION CORPORATION FOR THEIR GROSS MISS MANAGEMENT.

THE LEGISLATURE DIDN'T PUT IN THE MONEY IT PROMISED.

THAT IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET.

EVEN IF THEY PUT 300 MILLION IF THEY PUT IN THE MONEY WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE IT WOULD HAVE GROWN THANKS TO THE STALK MARKET.

IT IS ONE PERCENT OF THE WAY.

ABLE TO PAY THE PENSIONS THAT IT HAS PROMISED.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BRING UP SOME ODD TIMES.

WE ARE SEEING PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES SUPPORT THIS IDEA AND BOTH SIDES ARGUE WITH THIS IDEA.

THERE IS THE IDEA GETTING THAT INTEREST PAY THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

HOW DO YOU DEFINE THAT?

ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE SOME SORT OF EFFORT.

IT IS $30 MILLION.

AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS TOWARDS THIS NEXT YEAR, IS THIS THE RIGHT MOVE?

>> I BELIEVE IT IS THE RIGHT MOVE.

>> THEY HAVE THESE PENSIONS AND COUNTING ON THEM TO RETIRE.

IMAGINE GETTING TO RETIREMENT AND YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A GUARANTEED INCOME AND YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE RICHEST STATE WE HAVE A TON OF TAX REVENUE WE SHOULD BE FUNDING PENSIONS.

WE SHOULD MAKE SURE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING OLDER AREN'T DYING IN POVERTY.

WE LIVE IN AMERICA THAT SHOULD BE A PROMISE WE HAVE HERE.

>> DENNIS THIS IMPACTS COLORADO CITIZENS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE.

ENTIRE COLORADO STATE PATROL OFFICERS THAT ARE AFFECTED JUST AS MUCH A TEACHER IN DOWNTOWN DENVER.

I IMAGINE IT IS GOING TO GET A LOT OF BIPARTISAN ATTENTION.

HOW DO YOU THINK A LEGISLATURE SHOULD GO ABOUT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AND A BROADER POINT?

>> I THINK IT IS PRIMARILY WHY IT DOES AFFECT A PRETTY WIDE OF COLORADOANS.

THERE ARE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT BECAUSE FOLKS SEE IT FOR WHAT IT WAS.

IT WAS A PROMISE.

IT WAS A PROMISE OUR STATE LEGISLATURE MADE IN LEGISLATION THEY WOULD MAKE THESE PAYMENTS.

I THINK THE NOTION OF NOT PAYING THIS NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION WE KICK THE CAN DOWN TO ROAD.

WHEN YOU HAVE $38 BILLION DEBT IT AFFECTS YOUR CREDIT RATING THAT IS SOMETHING THAT GETS FOLKS ATTENTION.

YOU GOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT.

IF YOU DON'T NOW WE HAVE TO DO IT LATER.

MIGHT AS WELL GET IT DONE NOW.

>> THE VIDEO COVERAGE HANDLING ANYTHING IS NOT EXACTLY A SKYROCKET WINNER.

THERE IS NOT ANYBODY THAT DIG INTO DETAILS OF THIS.

IT AFFECTS A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE.

IT IS A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.

IS IT GETTING THE ATTENTION IT NEEDS.

DOES IT NEED TO BE A BIGGER HEAD LINE.

>> I THINK THE HEAD LINE IS BIG ENOUGH.

PEOPLE WHO ARE UP FOR PENSION ARE PAYING ATTENTION.

IT IS A COMMITMENT THE STATE MADE.

THE COMMITMENT HAS TO BE KEPT.

WE HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT IN THE FUTURE.

TOO BAD WE CAN'T MAKE SURE THAT PRIVATE COMPANIES WHO MAKE COMMITMENTS THESE COMMITMENTS ARE HEAD FOR THE PEOPLE GO TO RETIRE AND FIND OUT THEIR MONEY IS GONE.

>> DENVER CITY COUNCIL HAS APPROVE ED >>> DENVER CITY COUNCIL HAS OFFICIALLY APPROVED THE FIRST EVER SAFE CAMPING SITE ON CITY PROPERTY.

THE CAMP WILL BE BUILT IN THE PARKING LOT BY A DENVER HUMAN SERVICES BUILDING, AND WILL FEATURE ICE-FISHING TENTS FOR WARMTH AND DURABILITY AS WELL AS A CENTRALIZED SANITATION SYSTEM.

ANDY WE START WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.

THE CITY IS SIMPLY LEASES OUT TO AN ORGANIZE TO HANDLE IT.

IT IS NOT A CITY PROGRAM.

THEY ARE JUST USING CITY PROPERTY.

THE CITY HAS A LOT OF PROPERTY.

IT HAS A LOT OF PARKING LOT AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

DOES THE CITY NEED TO BE MORE ACTIVE ABOUT DOING THINGS LIKE THIS AT LEAST WITH IT'S PROPERTY.

>> IT IS A GOOD FIRST STEP.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

THEY HAVE HAD SAFE CAMPING SITES BECAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION OF UNHOUSED POPULATION.

YOU KNOW, IF THEY OPENED UP TEN MORE OF THESE SAFE CAMPING SITES TOMORROW THEY WOULD BE FILLED.

WE HAVE A HUGE SUPPLY ISSUE -- A HUGE DEMAND ISSUE THAT IS NOT MET WITH THE SUPPLY FROM THE CITY.

THE CITY HAS AN OBLIGATION THEY HAVE HOUSING.

IT IS A GOOD FIRST STEP.

>> DEN -- DENNIS YOU HAVE A PROGRAM TO CREATE A WHOLE IDEA.

THEY ARE SIMPLY LEASING PROPERTY.

IF THAT IS NOT AT LEAST A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM THAT DOESN'T ONE SOLUTION, SHOULD THERE BE MORE ENERGY TO DO MORE THINGS LIKE THIS?

>> ABSOLUTELY, 100%.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ITS POPULARITY.

THERE MIGHT BE A NEIGHBOR THAT LIKES TO THINK THEY WORRY ABOUT THE UNHOUSED.

YOU HAVE THOSE THAT SAY NOT IN MY BACKYARD.

WHAT I WANT TO DO IS GIVE A GOOD SHOUTOUT TO THE VILLAGE COLLABORATIVE.

THEY ARE FIGHTING NEIGHBORS IN PARK HILL.

IN THE CLAYTON NEIGHBORHOOD ALL OVER THE CITY.

THERE IS A CERTAIN SINCE OF POPULARITY EXEMPT WHEN YOU DON'T WANT IT IN YOUR BACKYARD.

THAT IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP.

THE CITY HAS COME KICKING AND DRAGGING TO THIS PARTY.

LET'S HOPE THEY WILL SEE THERE IS VERY, VERY LITTLE NEGATIVE IMPACT AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THESE SORTS OF PROJECTS ALONG.

THEY IS CERTAINLY IS A HUGE NEED.

>> WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE A LOT ON THIS PROGRAM.

IT DESERVES THAT CONVERSATION.

WE KNOW THERE IS NOT ONE SOLUTION.

DO THIS AND IT IS ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

THIS SEEMS TO HAVE SHOWN SUCCESS AND POPULARITY.

THE CITY COUNCIL PASSED IT 11-1.

THERE SEEMS TO BE POLITICAL ENERGY THERE.

DO YOU THINK THAT WILL GET MAGNIFIED AS WE GET INTO NEXT YEAR.

>> THEY JUST APPROVED FOUR MILLION MORE.

IN APRIL 2020 WHEN COLE AND OTHER PROVIDERS PRESENTED THIS CONCEPT TO HANCOCK.

HANCOCK SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE THE SAFE CAMPING IDEA.

HE TURNED AROUND BY JULY.

THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CITY OWNED PROPERTY THAT WOULD WORK.

PEOPLE COMPLAINED USING THE COLISEUM PARKING LOT.

THEY GOT THE COLE KHANNED LOR AND THEY WENT THROUGH THOSE PARKING LOTS.

THEY PROVED VERY EFFICIENT HELPING PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T COMFORTABLE IN SHELTERS OFF THE STREETS AND INTO A PROTECTED AREA.

YOU CAN GET HELP TO PEOPLE.

NOW WE ARE OPENING OUR SIXTH.

ONE OPENED IN LINCOLN PARK.

THE SIXTH WILL BE THE FIRST ONE ON CITY PROPERTY.

IT IS STILL THOUGH JUST A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION THAT IS BEING HELPED.

>> DAVID, THIS ISN'T EXACTLY A FREE MARKET SOLUTION.

IT FEELS WITHIN THAT SPIRIT YOU HAVE A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION EVEN IF IT IS JUST A LITTLE BIT.

GETTING SOME SORT OF GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE WHEN IT LOOKS AT USING A PARKING LOT.

IS THAT WHERE WE MIGHT SEE MORE SOLUTIONS IS UTILIZING THE PROGRESS WITHIN PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS RATHER THAN LOOKING TO THE CITY?

>> SURE THAT CAN HELP.

HOPEFULLY THESE 50 TENTS WILL BE 50 TENTS THAT ARE NO LONGER CAMPED OUTSIDE SOMEBODY'S APARTMENT BUILDING OR ALL OVER DOWNTOWN WHICH CREATES AN UNDERSTANDABLE FEAR AND DECAY AROUND THE CITY.

THE SAD THING IS NOBODY REALLY KNOWS WHAT THE SOLUTION IS.

MAYOR HICKENLOOPER HAD THIS PLAN HE WOULD END INTO HOMELESSNESS.

THAT TURNED INTO NOTHING.

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH HOMELESS THEY DON'T HAVE A HOUSE.

THAT IS TRUE FOR SOME.

NOT FOR MANY OTHERS.

LOS ANGELES HAS SPENT $1.2 BILLION IN BUILDING HOUSES FOR THE HOMELESS.

IT'S HOMELESS POPULATION HAS DOUBLED.

>> GETTING INTO OUR NEXT TOPIC.

>>> RTD HAS ANNOUNCED A NEW SECURITY PLAN FOR UNION STATION AFTER THE UNION CONSISTING OF MORE THAN, 2,000 EMPLOYEES REQUESTED ADDITIONAL SAFETY PROTOCOLS DUE TO THE CONSISTENTLY UNWANTED BEHAVIOR.

RTD RELEASED A MEMO STATING THAT THEY WILL BE PARTNERING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY'S TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION IN CREATING MULTIPLE TEAMS OF SECURITY OFFICERS IN ADDITION TO THE TRANSIT POLICE OFFER.

-- OFFICER.

WE START WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.

IT IS BRIGHT AND SHINY AND BEAUTIFUL.

ALL THE HOLIDAY ADDS COME CHECK OUT UNION STATION.

PEOPLE WORKING FOR RTD WE ARE DOWN HERE ALL THE TIME, WE NEED SOME HELP.

IS THIS BEING TACKLED THE RIGHT WAY OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO GET DONE?

>> SURE THERE MIGHT BE SOME ISSUES RELATED TO PUBLIC SAFETY NOT ONLY FOR WORKERS BUT PASSENGERS AND OTHERS.

WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT COLORADO RIGHT NOW IS A HOT SPOT FOR OPIOID USE, FOR ADDICTION, AND FOR DEATH.

WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THAT OPIOID ADDICTION.

WHAT I FIND UNFORTUNATE ABOUT THE RTD APPROACH IS IT IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DEFINE PUBLIC SAFETY.

MORE POLICE ON THE GROUND AND MORE JAIL.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER WE ARE ONE OF THE MOST PARTIAL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.

WE STILL ARE NO SAFER.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE RTD TO DO IS PUSH FOR OTHER DEFINITIONS TO GET US PUBLIC SAFETY.

MORE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH THAT IS FREE AND ACCESSIBLE.

WE SHOULD CONSIDER SAFE INJECTION SITES.

THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS WE CAN DO INSTEAD OF WORKING ON ALTERNATIVES.

THIS IS A DEFINITION OF INSANITY FOR ME.

YOU EXPECT A DIFFERENT RESULT.

JAILING OUR WAY OUT OF THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT ANGLES HERE.

UNION STATION IS THE SHINIEST PART OF DOWNTOWN.

WHILE LIMITED ONLY FOR HOLIDAY MARKET IT IS WITHIN A BUNCH OF FENCES.

UNION STATION WE GOT THAT.

DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE MORE ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THAT?

>> THERE IS A LOT OF ATTENTION DOWN THERE.

THIS IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM THAT UNION BROUGHT UP.

WHEN YOU COME IN ON TRANSIT.

THERE IS A LOT OF DRUG USE.

IT IS AFFECTING THE EMPLOYEES.

IT IS NOT AFFECTING JOE BLOW WHO COMES DOWN TO SEE SANTA.

SO RTD IS RIGHT TO LOOK AT A NEW PLAN TO MAKE PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING THAT TRANSPORTATION SAFELY.

THE DENVER POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY BEEN ALL OVER THE AREA AROUND UNION STATION BECAUSE OF CRIMES A LOT OF CLUBS AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING.

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT CRIMES.

DRUGS IS ONE OF THEM.

IT IS NOT JUST ONE THING.

I'LL SAY THIS THAT PART OF DOWNTOWN IF YOU GO OUT TO DINNER IT IS FINE.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT UNION REQUEST?

>> IT IS A GOOD START AS DENISE SAID.

I HOPE IT IS DONE.

FIVE YEARS FROM NOW THAT THEY MAKE THINGS BETTER.

YOU ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WHICH IS THE WORKERS AT UNION STATION AND SOME COMMUTERS ACCORDING TO THE MEDIA REPORTS FEEL THE PLACE IS UNSAFE.

I'VE BEEN IN PEN STATION IN NEW YORK -- NEWARK YOU HAVE DANGEROUS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE TRANSPORTATION HUB.

WE CAN'T ALLOW THE UNION STATION TO DETERIORATE LIKE THAT.

>> WRAP IT UP FOR US.

>> I THINK THE CITY OF DENVER HAS CRIMINALIZED WHERE UNHOUSED PEOPLE CAN LIVE.

WE SEE IT WITH THE CLOSING OF NATIONAL WESTERN CENTER.

WHERE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GO IF YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO GO.

IF YOU ARE A DRUG ADDICT IF YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO USE THEM.

AS DENISE MENTIONED SOME SORT OF SAFE SPACE TO USE DRUGS CAN RECEIVE TREATMENT, RECEIVE COUNSELLING AND HOPEFULLY BREAK THAT ADDICTION.

>> IT IS TIME FOR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

>> IT WILL BE A LONG RUNNING TOPIC.

DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE NEW BOARD OF THE NEW MAKEUP OF A BOARD HAD AN ELECTION THEY COULD HAVE A LESSON IN CIVICS AND TRANSPARENCY.

I DON'T THINK IT IS SHOWING THE STUDENTS WHAT WE NEED.

>> DAVID?

>> PEOPLE SAY THAT THINGS ARE INACCURATE.

IT INCREASED AFTER THEIR BILLION DOLLAR HOUSING PROJECT.

JOE BIDEN TALKED ABOUT HE USED TO BE A BIG RIG TRUCK DRIVER AND AFTER THE 1967 -- ASKED HIM TO BE ENVOY OF EGYPT.

NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE.

>> WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO A MASK MANDATE IN THE CITY OF DENVER.

IT IS A DISGRACE PEOPLE HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME TO PROTECT OTHER PEOPLE BY GETTING THE VACCINE.

>> DENISE?

>> I THINK MINE IS THOSE U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES THAT SIGNALLED THIS WEEK IT WOULD BE OKAY TO OVERTURN 50 YEARS OF SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT.

OVERTURNING ROE WILL HAVE IMPACT ON WOMEN AND PRIMARILY WOMEN OF COLOR.

>> TIME TO SAY SOMETHING NICE.

PATTY?

>> WE ARE COMING UP ON COLORADO GIVES DAY.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE TO A HUGE NUMBER OF COLORADO NON-PROFIT.

STUDY, GO ON THE COLORADO GIVES DAY SITE.

AND ALSO TO OUR VIEWERS.

I RAN TO THEM LAST NIGHT.

LOVE THE VIEWERS.

YOU COULD GO TO UNION STATION AND EAT DINNER.

IF YOU ARE WATCHING THE SHOW, THANKS.

>> WATCH IT LATER.

IT IS GOOD THAT WAY.

>> PURSUE WENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION HE TURNED OVER THE DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENCY TO VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS.

SHE BECAME THE ACTING PRESIDENT.

WE HAVE HAD OUR FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT.

BY THE WAY CONSIDERING PRESIDENT BIDEN STATE I WOULDN'T BE SHOCKED SHE WOULD BECOME OUR FIRST LONGER TERM BEFORE 2024.

>> WE GO TO YOU.

>> ELIZABETH IS IN HOUSE DISTRICT SIXTH AND THAT WAS A GREAT THING TO SEE ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY.

>> I'M GOING TO MENTION A BILL THAT MOVED IN OUR UNITED STATES CONGRESS.

IT MOVED BY BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

IT IS KNOWN AS MOMNEBUS.

IT IS TRYING TO GET TO THE ISSUE OF MATERNAL HEALTH.

WE SEE THREE OUT OF FIVE PREGNANCY DEATHS THAT ARE PREVENTABLE.

I THINK IT IS A JOB WELL-DONE.

>> MENTIONING ONE ECHOING PATTY'S REMARKS.

PBS12 IS ONE YOU CAN SUPPORT ON COLORADO GIVE'S DAY.

THE SHOW LOST ONE OF ITS BIGGEST FANS.

A LONG TIME COLORADO INSIDE OUT FAN.

WE GOT TO SEE EACH OTHER.

HE WAS A BIG MEMBER OF THE NORTH DENVER COMMUNITY.

HE WAS PART OF A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS ESPECIALLY AT OUR CHURCH.

WE WILL BE MISSED.

WE LOST HIM FAR TOO SOON.

EVERYONE KNOWS HOW MUCH HE IS APPRECIATED.

IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE HIS SPIRIT LIVE ON WITH HIS BOYS AND HIS WIFE AND ALL THE FAMILY HE LEFT IN GOOD STEAD.

FAR TOO SOON.

FROM EVERYONE HERE AT COLORADO INSIDE OUT, I'M DOMINIC DEZZUTTI.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

GOOD NIGHT.
