">>> HI, EVERYONE."

"WELCOME TO THE FEBRUARY 25TH," "2022, EDITION OF ""COLORADO" "INSIDE OUT""."

I'M YOUR HOST DOMINIC DEZZUTTI.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

BEFORE WE GET ROLLING.

"AS YOU KNOW ""COLORADO INSIDE" "OUT"" LIKES TO SPECIALIZE ON" TOPICS GOING ON IN COLORADO.

WE WILL NOT JUMP INTO THE NATIONAL HEAD LINE AND WHAT IS GOING ON IN UKRAINE.

PBS12 WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A LOT OF COVERAGE STRAIGHT FROM GERMANY.

WE HAVE LIVE COVERAGE AT PBS12.ORG AND SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY AT 12.1.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO HAVE A GREAT MEDIA SOURCE.

TONIGHT WE WILL STAY FOCUSED HERE IN COLORADO AND GET RIGHT TO OUR SHOW.

DEATHS DUE TO ACCIDENTAL FENTANYL OVERDOSE HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT UPTICK IN COLORADO "SINCE 2020, WHICH IS LEADING" LAWMAKERS TO RECONSIDER THE LAW THAT CHANGED ITS CRIMINALIZATION STATUS.

THE ORIGINAL LAW DECLARING POSSESSION OF UP TO FOUR GRAMS "OF ""PERSONAL USE DRUGS"" LIKE" "FENTANYL, A MISDEMEANOR, WAS" PASSED IN 2019 WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

PATTY CALHOUN WE WILL START WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.

A LOT OF FOCUS ON LAWS SURROUNDING FENTANYL.

DO YOU THINK WE WILL SEE SOME ACTION ON THIS ISSUE?

>> CERTAINLY WE WILL SEE ACTION.

THE PEOPLE DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS ON FENTANYL.

I THINK THEY WERE THINKING POT.

THEY WERE THINKING MUSHROOMS.

THEY DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BAD IT COULD BE.

IS IT LACED.

COCAINE WAS LACED WITH FENTANYL.

I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO RUNS A RESTAURANT GROUP WITH HUNDREDS OF EMPLOYEES.

HE SAID NO EMPLOYEES DIE OF COVID.

HE HAS HAD SEVERAL DIE OF FENTANYL.

SO WE WILL HAVE TO GET A HANDLE ON IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

WE SAW THE BIG BUST OUTSIDE OF UNION STATION THAT THE DENVER POLICE DEPARTMENT DID THIS WEEK.

">> DAVID KOPEL, IT IS GREAT TO" HAVE YOU BACK.

"DAVID, THERE IS A LOT OF" DIFFERENT DETAILS OF THIS LAWS.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FELONY AND A MISDEMEANOR.

IS THAT A BIG DEAL FOR A LAW TO SEPARATE THAT WHERE IT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT PATH OR ARE THEY CLOSER THAN WE MIGHT THINK?

>> THEY ARE SIMILAR YOU CAN GET ARRESTED FOR VIOLATING EITHER ONE.

POSSESSION OF FOUR GRAMS OR LESS IS A CLASS ONE MISDEMEANOR.

I BELIEVE IT IS UP TO A YEAR IN PRISON.

IT GOES ON YOUR PERMANENT RECORD.

IT IS LESS SEVERE THAN A FELONY.

IT IS A LIFETIME PROHIBITER.

THE CONSEQUENCES ARE MORE SEVERE.

THAT'S WHY THE LEGISLATURE MADE THAT CHANGE IN 2019.

THEY SAID WE DON'T WANT TO -- "SOMEBODY DOES THIS ONCE, WE" DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM THE SCARLET LETTER ON THEIR HEAD THAT WILL RUIN THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.

THE CHALLENGE HERE IS FENTANYL IS 100 TIMES MORE POTENT.

SOMEONE WHO IS RETAIL TO CARRY THAT QUANTITY WITHOUT GOING WITH THE FOUR GRAM LIMIT.

THE LEGISLATURE WAS MORE INTERESTED IF REDUCING THE PENALTIES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE -- WHO HAVE PERSONAL USE QUANTITIES OR MAYBE A SMALL QUANTITIES SHARED BUT NOT ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS.

>> IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK SCOTT.

FORMER CITY ATTORNEY.

"WITH THAT EXPERIENCE, WE ARE" TALKING ABOUT A STATE LAW.

IT IS THE CITIES THAT ARE IN THE FRONT LINES THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS.

DO YOU THINK WE WILL HEAR MORE FROM CITIES ON HOW THIS LAW "SHOULD BE CHANGED, AMENDED OR" WHERE IT GOES FROM HERE?

>> THERE ARE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES FROM ANY LAW.

WE WILL HEAR AS NEW LEGISLATION COMES FORWARD.

"THEY WILL PROVIDE SOME ANTIDOTE," SOME DATA THAT WILL LET US KNOW HOW THAT LAW CHANGED IN 2019 HAS AFFECTED LAW ENFORCEMENT ON THE STREETS.

AND HELP US UNDERSTAND HOW FENTANYL MIGHT BE DIFFERENT AS IT IS MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED.

AS THEY PROVIDE THESE STORIES THEY WILL FOCUS ON THE ACTIONS OF THE WORSE OF THE WORSE.

THESE PEOPLE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF SELLING DRUGS.

WE MIGHT SEE SOME NEW LAWS OUT THERE LIKE DISTRIBUTION THAT CAN HELP GET THOSE GUYS OFF THE STREET.

AT THE SAME TIME DIFFERENTIATE THOSE WHO HAVE ADDICTION ISSUES.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO JAIL OR ARREST OUR WAY OUT OF THE PROBLEM OF ADDICTION.

WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT IN ADDITION TO OUR PROBLEM WITH DISTRIBUTORS.

>> ALSO WITH US BERRY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE BEHIND THESE STORIES.

IT IS NOT JUST THE STATE LEVEL THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

THERE ARE PEOPLE BOTH ON THE USER SIDE OF THINGS.

THAT HAS RAMIFICATIONS LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS AND THE "USER, THE DEALER SIDE OF THINGS" "WHICH, I THINK PEOPLE IN GENERAL" WANT TO DEAL WITH AND CLEAN UP.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

WHAT DO YOU THINK GOVERNMENTS WILL TRY TO ADDRESS THIS GROWING PROBLEM.

>> THIS IS SUCH A STRUGGLE FOR ME.

I REACHED OUT TO MY FRIEND AFTER THIS NEWS BROKE.

"SHE ALWAYS SAYS THE SAME, STIMMA" AND INCARCERATION WORKED WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THIS.

IT IS NOT SOLVING PROBLEM THROWING PEOPLE IN JAIL.

FOCUS ON LEGISLATION WHEN WE NEED TO FOCUS ON KEEPING PEOPLE ALIVE AND FIGURING WHERE TO GO TO NEXT.

NOBODY WAS LISTENING.

THIS WAS COMING.

SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS ARE EASY TO PRODUCE.

YOU CAN MAKE IT IN YOUR BATHROOM.

I DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS FOR FENTANYL.

IT WILL BE MUCH MORE COMPLICATED AND COMPLEX IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO DEAL WITH.

WE WILL HAVE MORE FOLKS RUINING THEIR LIVES.

>>> THIS WEEK THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AGREED TO HEAR THE CASE OF THE WEB DESIGNER WHO WANTS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE CREATIVE SERVICES TO PEOPLE CELEBRATING SAME-SEX MARRIAGES.

THE HEARING IS REMINISCENT OF THE 2018 MASTERPIECE BAKERY CASE IN WHICH A BAKER REFUSED TO CREATE A WEDDING CAKE FOR A GAY "COUPLE, AND REVISITS THE DEBATE" ON WHETHER PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION LAWS ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

"DAVID, WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE" SOMEONE WHO ARGUED A CASE IN FRONT OF THE SUPREME COURT.

WHAT ARE THE KEY DIFFERENCES?

THERE ARE KEY DIFFERENCES.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW?

>> THE CASE NEVER GOT TO THE ACTUAL LEGAL MERITS.

INSTEAD THE OPINION FROM THE COURT SAID THAT THE ACTIONS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE TWO OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAD EXPRESSED MALICIOUS BIAS.

YOU CAN'T HAVE GOVERNMENT DECISION MAKING ON THAT BASIS.

THAT IS HOW FAR IT WENT.

THIS NEW CASE HAS RELIGION IN THE BACKGROUND.

THAT IS NOT WHAT THE COURT WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THIS TIME AROUND.

THEY FRAMED AS A -- FIRST AMENDMENT FREE SPEECH ISSUE.

"THE QUESTION IS, THE COURT" PETITION GRANTED LIMITED TO THE FOLLOW QUESTION WHETHER APPLYING ACCOMMODATION LAW TO COMPEL AN ARTIST OR STAY SILENT VIOLATES THE FREE SPEECH LAW.

OBVIOUSLY THEIR ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION BY THE COURT IS NO.

AND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE "IS -- TO ANSWER THE QUESTION," YES.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE IS LORY SMITH.

SHE WANTS TO DO WEDDINGS AND DOESN'T WANT TO DO GAY WEDDINGS.

AND COLORADO LAW FORBIDS HER THAT CHOICE.

"ONE BY THE INSTITUTE, THEY POINT" SAYING THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T FORCE NEWSPAPER TO PRINT REBUTTAL ARTICLES.

>> IT SEEMS WHILE THIS CASE IS SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE FAMILIAR.

YOU ALSO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WOULD AFFECT A LOT OTHER AREAS.

THIS IS BEYOND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FIRST AMENDMENT.

THERE WILL BE A LOT OF RAMIFICATIONS.

DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE A LOT OF HEADLINES.

COLORADO FIND ITSELF ANOTHER BIG CASE GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT.

>> IT IS NO ACCIDENT HERE IN COLORADO.

WE HAVE TO ASK WHO IS DOING THIS?

WHAT DO THEY WANT?

THESE ARE FOLKS THAT ARE PRETENDING TO BE A DESIGN FIRM THAT GOES OUT AND PROVIDES SERVICES TO COUPLES WHO WANT TO HAVE THEIR SAME SEX MARRIAGE DOCUMENTED ON A WEB SITE.

THERE IS NO SUCH WEB SITE.

THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING ANY WEDDING SERVICES TO ANYONE.

THESE GUYS WERE SHOPPING FOR A PLACE TO DO A LAWSUIT.

COLORADO WAS A GREAT PLACE TO DO IT.

THEY WENT FOR IT.

IT IS NO ACCIDENT.

"THE WHAT AS DAVE WAS TALKING," THE PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION LAWS.

YOU CAN'T DENY WHO A PERSON IS IF THEY ARE A PROTECTED CLASS.

YOU CAN'T ADVERTISE WE DENY SERVICES AND MAKE MONEY OFF OF THAT DENIAL.

IT IS SOMETHING WE FOUND TO BE ILLEGAL.

THAT BEHAVIOR IS NOT ALLOWED AS AN ETHNIC MINORITY.

I DON'T WANT TO WORRY WALKING TO "THE GAS STATION, WE DON'T LIKE" THE WAY YOU LOOK.

YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR BAG OF GROCERIES.

>> IT FEELS LIKE THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AMERICAN RIGHTS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE GO FROM HERE?

THE CONVERSATIONS HERE IN COLORADO.

>> IT IS TOUGH.

IT OPENS THE DOOR TO DISCRIMINATION FOR OTHER GROUPS.

I ALSO THINK THAT IS INTERESTING.

THIS IS A SORT OF FICTION WEB SITE.

THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH COMPONENT.

MARGINALIZING PEOPLE IS NEVER OKAY IN MY BOOK.

">> PATTY, YOU HAVE HAD" EXPERIENCE IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

YOUR TAKE ON THE POTENTIAL RAMIFICATIONS OF WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE?

>> IT IS SUCH A CYNICAL PLOY.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY.

IT HAS LET THE BUYER BE WARE.

THEY ARE OFFERING A SERVICE WE KIND OF DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU OUT IF YOU ARE GAY.

IF YOU ARE FEMALE.

IF YOU ARE ANYTHING.

IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER YOU KIND OF LIKE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE GIVING YOUR MONEY TO.

YOU DON'T WANT ANY KIND OF DISCRIMINATION UNLESS YOU ARE A PURCHASER YOU WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOMEONE A LITTLE BIT MORE SIMPATICO.

A LOT OF PERSONAL OPINIONS ON FACEBOOK THAT I THINK MOST CUSTOMERS WOULDN'T LIKE IF HE HAD IT ON THE HOME PAGE OF THAT RESTAURANT.

WOULD PEOPLE STILL BE GOING THERE.

BUT BOTTOM LINE WE DON'T WANT DISCRIMINATIONS IN SERVICES.

">> ON TUESDAY, THE DENVER CITY" COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY PASSED A BILL TO MODERNIZE THE DENVER BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FOR ZONING.

THIS WILL BE THE FIVE PERSON BOARD'S FIRST OVERHAUL SINCE 1956.

"WHILE SMALL, THE BOARD OF" ADJUSTMENT FOR ZONING IS INVOLVED IN THE MANY IMPORTANT "DECISIONS, INCLUDING MANY" REGULATIONS AROUND SAFE CAMPING SITES.

A ZONING BOARD IS ONE THAT PEOPLE WILL ZONEOUT.

I'M SURE THEY WILL DO A COUPLE OF THINGS.

THEY SEE THE RAMIFICATIONS WHAT A ZONING BOARD CAN DO.

WHY IS THERE A CONCRETE BLOCK OF TOWNHOMES.

SO THIS SEEMS IMPORTANT.

TELL US MORE ABOUT IMPACT OF THE ZONING BOARD IN DENVER.

>> SURE.

WHEN I WAS A CITY ATTORNEY I WALKED INTO ONE OF OUR FIRST MEETING.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LITIGATION AROUND LAND USE.

WHY SOME GOOD BUILDING WAS GOING TO GO.

AS THE LAWYERS WERE EXPLAINING THE DETAILS OF THE CASE.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND WAS WHO WAS ON THE ZONING BOARD 45 YEARS AGO.

THEY WENT INTO THE PERSONALITIES AND GRUDGES.

AND I THOUGHT TO ME THIS CAN'T BE THE WAY THAT -- WHAT IT IS LAWFUL.

WE NEED PREDICTABILITY WHEN WE APPLY LAWS TO OUR LAND.

I APPLAUD FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO BRING PREDICTABILITY.

I WANT TO DO THIS WITH MY LAND.

PREDICTABILITY IS GOOD THING FOR CITIZENS.

>> BREE YOU HAVE DONE FANTASTIC WORK HOW DENVER HAS CHANGED.

YOU AND I BOTH GREW UP HERE.

LOOK AT NAVAJO BETWEEN 30 AND 32nd.

THAT IS A LESSON LEARN WHAT ZONING CAN MEAN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS FOR THE FUTURE OF DENVER?

>> THINK ABOUT THE DENVER WE KNEW THEN VERSUS THE ONE WE KNOW NOW.

WE CAN'T BE UTILIZING THIS SYSTEM FROM 1956 TO LOOK AT THE LAND USE RIGHT NOW.

WE NEED TO CREATE -- IT COMES DOWN -- I AGREE WITH YOU.

YOU START TALKING ABOUT ZONING AND EVERYBODY IS LIKE SO BORING.

SO I'M THINKING ABOUT THAT CASE WHERE I TALKED TO A FAMILY.

THE NEWSPAPER HAD COVERED THIS FAMILY TRYING TO BUILD TO ADD TO A PROPERTY THEY ALREADY OWN.

IF WE ARE NITPICKING FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO EXPAND HOUSING OPTIONS WE WILL NEVER COME OUT OF THIS CRISIS.

IT COULD HELP US BENEFIT FROM THE LONG RUN TO HAVE THESE UNIFORM WAYS.

WE THINK ABOUT THE BIG UGLY THINGS THAT HAPPEN.

I DON'T THINK IT IS THAT NECESSARILY.

WE NEED TO CREATE MORE HOUSING OPTIONS.

THIS BOARD HAS HELD UP OUR ABILITY TO DO THAT.

>> PATTY WHAT DO THINK THIS WILL MEAN?

>> WE HAVE THE ZONING IN DENVER.

A LOT OF PEOPLE BROUGHT MOVE WITH THAT.

BUT THEY DIDN'T CHANGE HOW THE APPEALS BOARD WORK.

THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ARCHITECT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A BUILDER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD REPRESENTATIVE.

YOU MUST HAVE TRAINING IN HOW TO LISTEN TO APPEALS.

THAT IS ALL CHANGING.

BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR AND LIST NUMBERS OF APPEALS.

THE ONES COMING RIGHT UP GOT ONE COMPLAINT THAT IS VERY CYNICAL.

IT IS BY PROPERTY OWNERS BY THE ONE THAT IS ON CITY OWN PROPERTY.

THE OTHERS BY NEIGHBORS.

THEY ARE IN VERY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS.

YOU WOULD HOPE THE BOARD CAN UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES.

">> DAVID, WHAT DO YOU THINK?"

I IMAGINE IT CAN IMPACT A LOT OF FREEDOMS OF MOVEMENT AND THINKS THAT HAPPEN IN THE CITY.

IS THIS A GOOD THING THAT IS HAPPENING?

>> BASED ON EXCELLENT COVERAGE ON WESTWARD I THINK THIS IS -- THE BOARD IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN ONE MIGHT THINK.

IT IS THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT FOR ZONING APPEALS.

GO BLAME THE ZONING ADMINISTER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THESE GUYS ARE SOMEBODY YOU CAN APPEAL TO.

YOU CAN PROVE A HARDSHIP.

"WHATEVER OUR PROBLEMS ARE, THEY" ARE NOT THE BOARD'S FAULT.

THE CHANGES ARE FOR BETTER TRAINING.

PEOPLE HAVE MORE BACKGROUND IN LAND USE SUCH AS AN ARCHITECT ON THE BOARD.

THOSE SEEM LIKE GOOD IDEAS.

WHAT I WORRY ABOUT IS WHAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS PLANNING NEXT WHICH IS TO PUT ON A VALID ISSUE TO TAKE THAT BOARD OUT OF THE DENVER CITY CHARTER.

WHICH IS LIKE THE CONSTITUTION FOR THE CITY OF DENVER.

CAN PLAY AROUND WITH THE BOARD ALL AT ONCE WITH NO LIMIT ON REQUIRING INPUT.

DOUGLAS COUNTY HAS BECOME THE FOCUS OF A WATER RIGHTS DEBATE WITH THE SAN LUIS VALLEY RESIDENTS WILLING TO GIVE UP THEIR WATER RIGHTS WILL BE COMPENSATED FINANCIALLY.

CRITICS CLAIM THAT THE MOVE WILL FURTHER DEPLETE AN ALREADY DRY AREA OF THE STATE.

A QUICK TAKE ON THIS ONE.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS IS ANOTHER BUY AND DRY SITUATION.

>> IT IS A CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUE.

THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THE WATER THAT THEY HAVE.

I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN.

>> THERE IS A LOT MORE BEHIND THIS TOO.

IT IS NOT JUST SIMPLY POLITICAL TIES TO RENEWABLE WATER RESOURCES.

DOUGLAS COUNTY IS A GROWING COUNTY.

THE WHOLE IDEA OF WATER RESOURCES IS NOT A NEW ISSUE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS CASE WILL MEAN?

>> I THINK IT WILL MEAN EMPLOYMENT FOR GOVERNORS.

SENATORS AND HICKEN LOOPER -- WHAT HAPPENS TO FUTURE RESIDENTS DOWN THERE.

>> I UNDERSTAND THE CITY ASSETS THAT SOMEBODY OWNS.

SOMETHING THAT I WANT YOU TO LOCK IN.

YOU CAN'T SELL YOUR HOUSE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME?

IS THAT BRING UP BIGGER IDEAS?

>> THIS IS NOT A TAKING AGAINST THE WILL OF ANY WATER RIGHTS HOLDER.

THE DENVER WATERBOARD WAS INFAMOUS.

THIS ISN'T THAT.

THIS WOULD BE VOLUNTARY PURCHASES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE WATER RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO SELL THEM.

IT IS BUY AND DRY.

IT WOULD END THE ABILITY TO IRRIGATE THE FARMS WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ANYTHING WOULD HAPPEN HERE WOULD BE CONSENSUAL.

>> IS THIS A BIGGER CONVERSATION TO COME?

>> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF WATER IN COLORADO.

WE HAVE SPECIFIC WATER COURT.

WE HAVE JUDGES WHO DETERMINE THE "FAIRNESS OF THE USE, PURCHASE," "SELL, TRANSPORTATION OF WATER."

THERE IS A BIG LONG PROCESS.

IF WE SAY WILL THIS BE AN ISSUE FOR WEEKS TO COME.

THIS WILL BE AN ISSUE FOR YEARS TO COME.

WE WILL STILL BE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

>> I THINK YOU ARE WRITE ABOUT "THAT ONE, SCOTT."

IT IS TIME FOR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

>> WE ARE STARTING THE ELECTION SEASON.

BAD FOR THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE STARTING TO PLAY DIRTY WHERE THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS.

>> THAT IS PROBABLY THE NICEST WAY YOU CAN DESCRIBE IT.

DAVID?

>> THE BEGINNING OF WHAT MAY BE WORLD WAR III.

WE SHOULD IMPOSE THE STRICTEST SANCTIONS POSSIBLE AGAINST RUSSIA.

WE SHOULD MOVE TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE AND USE OUR RESOURCES FOR OURSELVES AND EXPORTS TO OUR ALLIES.

>> SCOTT?

>> ANOTHER STATE GOVERNOR ABBOTT ATTACK PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE.

TRANSGENDER OR BASIS OF RACE AND EDUCATION.

THERE IS SO MUCH DISGRACE THERE.

WE NEED ANOTHER SHOW.

>> BRI?

>> CLOSED DOOR MEETINGS.

GET YOUR POPCORN.

I'M OVER IT.

>> PEOPLE GET DRAMA.

THEY HAVE BEEN TUNING IN.

IT IS TIME FOR THE HARDEST PART.

SAY SOMETHING NICE.

>> I'M NOT GOING TO SAY SOMETHING TO DOUGLAS COUNTY.

WE DON'T NO WHAT WILL HAPPEN FOR THAT.

I'M GOING TO THE POOR PEOPLE OF SILVERTON THEY WERE CUT OFF BY ANOTHER AVALANCHE.

YOU LEARN HOW TO BE INDEPENDENT IN COLORADO.

>> FOUR FEET OF SNOW.

DAVID?

>> THE COLORADO STATE BASKETBALL TEAM GETTING VERY CLOSE TO JOINING THE MARCH MADNESS TOURNAMENT.

>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO SENATOR LEYROY GARCIA.

I'M SURE HE WILL DO A GREAT ONE.

>> BREE?

>> KYLE CLARK FOR TALKING ABOUT FENTANYL.

HE TALKED WHY HE CARRIES THE REVERSAL DRUG.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS INCREDIBLE THING TO DO WITH THE PLATFORM HE HAS.

>> AND I WILL SAY SOMETHING NICE.

A QUICK SHOUTOUT TO CHRIS AND KATHY SMITH.

THEY HOSTED -- WELCOMED OR NOW GENERAL MANAGER.

IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE PEOPLE THERE.

IT WAS NICE TO MEET IN THREE DIMENSIONS.
