>>> HELLO I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3RD.

THE FREEZING COLD TEMPERATURES MADE THIS WEEK TOUGH FOR COLORADOANS.

THINGS STARTED TO TURN AROUND.

LET'S HOPE SHAWN PAYTON WILL BRING EVERYTHING.

WHAT IS GOING AROUND COLORADO THIS WEEK.

WE HAVE PATTY CALHOUN FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD AS WELL AS KRISTA KAFER.

AND CHRIS WORK THE NEW MANAGER.

>> THIS COLD WEATHER WAS NO BIG DEAL THIS WEEK.

MORE SNOW THAN USUALLY LONGER THAN WE ARE USED TO BECAUSE OF THOSE COLD TEMPERATURES.

THAT HELPS OUT WITH THE SNOW PACK, YES.

WATER AND LACK OF IT IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR THE STATE AND OTHERS IN THE WEST.

THIS WEEK, COLORADO AND FIVE OTHER COLORADO RIVER STATES ALL AGREE TO A DEAL WHERE THEY WILL USE THE WATER USAGE.

THE COLORADO RIVER WAS AT IT'S LOWEST POINT IN 1200 YEARS.

>> IT IS ASTONISHING.

YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES IN CALIFORNIA.

YOU THINK HOW CAN WE BE IN A DROUGHT.

YOU LOOK AT THE SNOW PACK IN COLORADO.

IT IS REALLY BAD.

THE COLORADO RIVER NORMALLY SUR APPLIES 15 MILLION ACRE FEET.

IT HAS BEEN DOWN TO 12 MILLION OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS.

THE LAST THREE HAS ONLY BEEN TEN ACRE FEET.

COVERS ONE ACRE WITH A FOOT.

IT IS ENOUGH TWO HOUSEHOLDS A YEAR.

WE HAVE GROWING HOUSEHOLDS IN THE WEST.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WATER.

IT IS LOOKING REALLY REALLY BAD.

GOOD FOR SIX DAYS TO KIND OF COME UP WITH AN AGREEMENT.

SIX MONTHS AFTER THEY COME UP WITH AN AGREEMENT.

THAT BAD CALIFORNIA IS TAKING ALL OUR WATER.

>> NO.

THIS BECAME VERY CONTENTIOUS.

IS IT REALLY RESOLVED?

BETWEEN THE UPPER BASIN AND LOWER BASIN.

>> THE WATER ORIGINATES HERE AND IN UTAH.

IT TRICKLES DOWN TO ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.

THEY ARE THE ONES THAT TAKE IS MOST AMOUNT OF WATER.

THEY HAVE THE GREATEST POPULATION.

THEY HAVE THE MOST AGRICULTURE OUTPUT IN THE STATE.

THE WATER IS BEING PUT TO GOOD USE.

CALIFORNIA SAID WE WILL DO OUR OWN PLAN.

THEIR PLAN BASICALLY SAYS THAT NEVADA AND ARIZONA CAN TAKE THE HIT AND CALIFORNIA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY GOT SENIOR WATER RIGHTS.

THEY ARE HAPPY TO DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT NOW.

THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO BE PART OF SEVEN STATE SOLUTION AT THIS TIME.

>> THEY DO NOT WANT TO PLAY AND WORK WITH ANYBODY.

WHAT EXACTLY DID THE SIX DAY SIGN TO NOT CALIFORNIA.

WHAT IS THIS DEAL ABOUT.

WILL IT WORK IF CALIFORNIA IS NOT A PART OF IT?

>> THIS AGREEMENT REQUIRES THE STATE TO REDUCE THEIR ALLOCATIONS FROM THE RIVER.

WHAT IT DOES IT REDUCES.

IN ADDITION, DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF THE WATER.

LESS WATER WILL BE RELEASED TO THE LOWER BASIN STATES AS A RESULT.

THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF TIERS BETWEEN WE ARE TALKING DEPENDING ON WHICH LEVELS.

AS REDUCTION GETS PROGRESSIVELY MORE.

IT SHOULD GO DOWN.

THAT IS THE MAIN POINT.

CALIFORNIA, OBVIOUSLY, IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.

CALIFORNIA HAS WHAT WE CALL THE SENIOR WATER RIGHT.

THEY CAN KIND OF SIT TIGHT AND WATCH THE OTHER STATES TAKE THE HIT.

THAT'S THE RIGHT THAT THEY HAVE.

>> THAT'S NOT GOOD.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A THREAT TO MORE THAN WATER LEVELS AS WELL.

BOTH ENDANGER OF SEEING WATER LEVELS DROP SO LOW.

THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE -- THAT SUPPLIES ELECTRICITY ALL OVER THE WEST.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

THE COLORADO RIVER FEEDS INTO LAKE MEAD AND LAKE POWELL.

THE TWO DAMS IT HAS A HYDRO E ELECTRIC DAM.

THE GRAND CANYON DAM SERVES 5 MILLION.

THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE MINIMUM POWER POOL ELEVATION.

YOU HEAR ABOUT DEAD POOL.

BUT THIS MINIMUM POWER POOL ELEVATION IS ABOVE DEAD POOL.

BUT THIS MINIMUM POWER POOL ELEVATION IS WHAT IS NEEDED WITH WATER TO GENERATE POWER.

AND IT IS MUCH HIGHER THAN DEAD POOL.

YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THESE DAMS ARE DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THAT MINIMUM LEVEL.

THAT AFFECTS, YOU KNOW SIX MILLION PEOPLE.

IN THIS SITUATION, I THINK WE HAVE A SITUATION THE PERFECT IS THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD.

THE STATE SHOULD COME TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH A GOOD PLAN SO THE FEDS DON'T HAVE TO STEP IN WHICH IS WILL LIKELY HAPPEN.

>> NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL TOPIC THAT HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ALL OVER OUR STATE.

WE ARE IN THE MIDST ACROSS COLORADO PROPOSITION 114.

THAT IS WHAT MANDATES THE REINTRODUCTION OF WOLVES HERE IN COLORADO.

>> BACK IN 2020 VOTERS APPROVED THIS.

IT WAS VERY NARROW.

IT WAS JUST OVER 50%.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE BREAK DOWN IT WAS WEALTHY COUNTIES.

PEOPLE ALONG THE MOUNTAIN RANGE HERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE SLOPE THAT ARE IN THE CITIES FOR THIS NEW LAW THAT ALLOWS FOR REINTRODUCTION.

DOES HAVE A CERTAINLY ROMANTIC MYSTIQUE.

I GET THAT.

I ENDED UP VOTING AGAINST IT.

I FEEL LIKE IT DENIES RANCHERS THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO PROTECT THEIR FLOCK.

WE ARE GOING TO BE REIMBURSE RANCHERS FOR LOST CATTLE.

WE HAVE A PRIZE STEER, A PRIZE HEIFER THIS AMOUNT OF 8,000 IS NOT GOING TO COVER IT.

IF A WOLF ATTACKS YOUR PET.

IN THE MIDDLE OF KILLING YOUR ANIMAL.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL THAT WOLF.

IF SOMEONE ATTACKED MY DOG I WOULD KILL THAT WOLF AND BURY THE BODY.

WE WILL SEE THAT HAPPENING.

HOW DO YOU NOT PROTECT THE ANIMALS IN YOUR CARE.

>> I THINK WE SEE A REAL DIVIDE.

A RADICAL DIVIDE BETWEEN THE CENTERS.

THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ROAM.

THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO THRIVE WITH TANGIBLE BENEFITS.

THERE ARE RANCHERS AND FARMERS.

THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR US.

THE AMOUNT YOU WILL PAY US IS NOT ENOUGH.

THE DESTRUCTION IS NOT GOING TO BE SUFFICIENT.

AND THIS IS A PROBLEM.

THAT SAID, THE STATE HAS TO IMPLEMENT WHAT THE PUBLIC VOTED ON AND APPROVED.

>> THEY ARE STILL HAVING THESE MEETINGS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS COMING OUT IS WHEN IS IT OKAY TO USE FORCE AGAINST THESE WOLVES?

>> I HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THIS TOPIC I REPORTED ON IT BEFORE.

I'M VERY MUCH IN TOUCH WITH THE RANCHERS.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT IT THAT KRISTA WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THE THING THAT RANCHERS ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE COST.

IT IS NOT LOSING AN ANIMAL OR LOWER BIRTHRATES.

MANY OF THE RANCHES ARE COVERED IN SNOW IN THE WINTER.

I DON'T KNOW IT IS GOING TO WORK THERE.

THESE RANCHERS ARE PUSHING FOR LETHAL MEASURES.

IT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE.

THEY ARE SAYING THE DRAFT PLAN DOESN'T DO ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE WOLF.

IT CALLS FOR WOLF POPULATION REACH 150 FOR TWO YEARS.

OR 200 OVERALL.

THAT THIS ANIMAL CAN BE LISTED AS A GAME ANIMAL AND BE HUNTED.

PUSHING FOR POLLLATIONS AROUND 700.

THEY ARE GOING FOR A LARGE NUMBER.

I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY THE WOVL LOSES OUT.

I DO HAVE AN INTERESTING POINT, IT IS HOME TO THE GUNNISON STAGE.

THAT IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES.

THEY ARE PUSHING FOR A PREDATOR TO COME BACK IN THE VALLEY.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THAT UNFOLDS.

>> THE COLORADO WILDLIFE COMMISSION IS SAYING THIS WILL NOT MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY.

THESE WOLVES HAVE TO GO OUT BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

>> BY THE END OF 2023.

THE FIRST ONE WILL INTRODUCED ON THE WESTERN SLOPE.

THERE IS A CONCERN HOW TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE STOCK.

MAYBE WHAT WE CAN DO IS GO ALL YELLOWSTONE ON THEM OR MAYBE THE MOUNTAIN LION CAN GO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

PEOPLE AREN'T PAYING ATTENTION HOW MUCH DISCUSSION THERE HAS BEEN.

THESE AREN'T THE ONLY HEARINGS.

THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR OVER A YEAR.

THEY REALIZE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE HAPPY.

THERE WILL BE SOME THINGS THAT WILL CHANGE.

WHAT LEVEL OF FOREST CAN BE USED.

I HAVE PRETTY GOOD FAITH IF NO ONE IS HAPPY THEY HAVE DONE A GOOD BALANCING ACT OF TAKING WHAT WE VOTED ON.

>> A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF COLORADO LAWMAKERS DECIDED NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING TO GET US OUT OF THE NUMBER ONE SPOT OF AUTO THEFT.

>> ONE OF THE PROPOSALS THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT A BILL THAT WILL TIE THE PENALTY.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT IF YOU ARE REPEAT OFFENDER AND BE CONVICTED TWICE.

THE PENALTY BECOMES TOUGHER EITHER CLASS FIVE OR CLASS THREE DEPENDING HOW OFTEN YOU HAVE DONE THIS ONE.

I THINK IT IS A CLEAR ACKNOWLEDGMENT ON THEIR END, MAYBE WHAT THEY HAD THE CURRENT REGIME IS NOT WORKING.

THERE IS A DEBATE WHAT IS CAUSING THEM AND WHAT IS NOT CAUSING IT.

ONE OF THE SIDE IS SAYING IF YOU KEEP THE REPEAT OFFENDER IN JAIL THAT IS GOING TO HELP.

ON THE OTHER HAND THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT DEBATE IS SAYING THAT SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED IN THE PAST.

IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK.

>> IT IS CLASS THREE, CLASS FIVE FELONY.

A REPEAT OFFENDER TO TWO CONVICTIONS.

LOOKING AT MY NOTES, I HAVE TO GO TO.

IF YOU STEAL A CAR AND HOLD IT MORE THAN 24 HOURS THAT IS A CLASS FOUR FELONY.

IF YOU HAVE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF A VEHICLE THAT IS CLASS FIVE.

WHETHER THE CAR IS DAMAGED, WHETHER THEY CHANGED THE CAR'S IDENTITY.

I DID FIND IT INTERESTING WHAT IS STILL A MISDEMEANOR UNDER THIS PREPOSITIVE SAL IS JOYRIDING.

WHETHER THEY RETURN THE CAR OR FOUND AND TAKEN BACK THAT WILL ONLY BE A MISDEMEANOR.

>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 40,000 VEHICLES WERE STOLEN LAST YEAR IN COLORADO.

I WAS LOOKING THROUGH WESTWORD.

YOU HAVE WRITTEN STORIES ABOUT THIS EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST FIVE, SIX YEARS.

THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME.

IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE.

YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED THEIR CARS.

THEY MIGHT NOT BE GREAT CARS.

THERE MIGHT BE HORRIBLE CARS.

THE PEOPLE WITH THE LEAST VALUABLE CARS.

NEED THEM THE MOST.

THIS IS ONE WHERE LEVELLING THE PUNISHMENT THE VALUE OF THE CAR DOESN'T MATTER.

IT IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO.

THIS WILL SEE SOME KIND OF JUSTICE.

>> I WONDER GOVERNOR POLIS HAS TALKED ABOUT.

WE NEED TO CUT DOWN THESE CAR THEFTS.

>> SO BACK IN 2021, HE DID SIGN LEGISLATION THAT MADE $2,000 LESS CAR.

YOU STEAL THAT CAR IT IS A MISDEMEANOR.

THESE KINDS OF LAWS GO BACK TO 2004.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE LEGISLATURE WAS SMOKING.

WHY WOULD YOU BASE THE CRIME ON THE VALUE OF THE CAR.

IF YOU ARE LOWER INCOME YOU ARE THE ONES THAT IS OWNED THOSE CARS.

I'M NOT SURE IT IS WORTH $2,000.

THANK GOODNESS IT IS A STICK SHIFT.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE STEALING CARS ARE PUT BEHIND BARS.

IT IS AFFECTING REAL PEOPLE'S LIVES.

YOU GOT TO GET YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL.

GET YOUR KIDS TO CHILD CARE.

YOU GET TO A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT.

THIS IS NOT THE VICTIMLESS CRIME.

AND SO THERE NEEDS TO BE TEETH IN IT.

A BILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR WORTH OF CARS WERE STOLEN.

AND IT IS TIME TO PUT AN END TO THAT.

>> A LOT OF THEM ARE CRASHED TOO.

YOU ARE TOTALLY OUT OF LUCK.

>> THIS CRIME IN PARTICULAR AFFECTS LOW INCOME PEOPLE THE MOST.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DENVER MAYOR'S RACE.

THOSE WITH THE MOST MONEY SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST OUTCOMES.

THERE IS ONLY ONE REPUBLICAN RUNNING FOR DENVER MAYOR.

AND HE IS PUTTING A LOT OF HIS OWN MONEY INTO HIS CAMPAIGN.

>> HE IS.

HE IS LEADING THE PACK IN MONEY THAT HE HAD.

HE HAS BEEN SURPASSED THIS PAST WEEK.

I CAUGHT HIM ON THE RADIO THE OTHER MORNING.

HE IS A REPUBLICAN.

HE HAS REPUBLICAN MESSAGING.

HE HAS RAISED ANOTHER 31,000.

HE IS THE OTHER CANDIDATE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE FAIR ELECTION FUND.

HE IS NOT TAKING MATCHING FUNDS.

THAT MEANS HE CAN TAKE CONTRIBUTIONS UP TO $1,000 WHERE THE OTHER CANDIDATES ARE STRAINED TO OTHER LEVELS.

WE HAVEN'T HAD A REPUBLICAN MAYOR FOR 60 YEARS.

IN LISTENING TO HIM, HE GOT THE TRADITIONAL MESSAGING, REPUBLICAN MESSING ON CRIME AND HOMELESSNESS.

WE ALSO SEE SOME REPUBLICAN DONORS, BIG NAMES.

BACKING KELLY BRUF.

WE WILL SEE IF THAT IS IMPACTFUL.

WE WILL HAVE TO SEE.

>> THE FAIR ELECTION FUND.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THIS ELECTION.

THIS SPRING WHERE CANDIDATES WHAT THEY HAVE MADE.

WHAT THEY RECEIVE IN DONATIONS CAN BE MATCHED BY TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

>> CANDIDATES CAN GET UP TO 750,000 FROM THIS FUND NOW.

THEY DISBURSED ANOTHER ROUND.

THE EIGHT MILLION WHICH IS THE TOTAL BUDGET WHETHER IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO COVER THE FIRST ROUND BUT THE RUN OFF.

SO FAR, IT IS REALLY INTERESTING.

YOU CAN'T SEE WHO IS CATCHING FIRE.

BOTH ARE CLEARLY RAISING MORE MONEY.

THEY GOT A BIG MATCH WHICH PUT THEM UP AGAINST ANDY FOR HIS OWN DONATIONS TO THE CAMPAIGN.

YOU DON'T FEEL WHO IS CATCHING FIRE YET.

I THINK IT WILL BE ANYONE'S GAME.

>> WHAT IF WE DO HAVE THE RUN OFF AND DO EIGHT MILLION?

>> CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO VOTE WHETHER THEY FUND MORE.

>> OKAY.

70% OF VOTERS BACKED THIS IDEA THE FAIR ELECTIONS FUND.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?

>> WE DID GET A LOT OF SUPPORT.

IT SOUNDS REALLY GREAT.

WE WILL GET ORDINARY PEOPLE.

IF YOU CAN DONATE $20 IT WILL BE MATCHED.

HERE IS THE UNATTENED CONSEQUENCES.

DEFINITELY LOWER LIMITS.

WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE CANDIDATES PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY ON HIS OWN.

THOSE RELYING ON THIS FUND RELYING ON TAXPAYER FUNDS.

AS A TAXPAYER, THANK GOODNESS I'M NOT A DENVER TAXPAYER.

YOU ARE COOPTING THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER YOU HAVE TO PAY THE POLITICIAN FUNDS SO THEY CAN RUN FOR OFFENSE -- OFFENSE.

I THINK IT IS INHERENTLY UNFAIR.

>> IT IS NOT JUST THE MAYOR'S RACE PEOPLE VOTING FOR DIFFERENT SEATS.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A RACE WITHIN THE RACE.

IT IS THE FASTEST.

>> THERE IS A RACE WITHIN THE RACE.

MONEY DOES SHOW -- MONEY THAT SHOWS YOU HOW VIABLE.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE ANY BUSINESS RUNNING TO BEGIN WITH.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH BASE SUPPORT.

THERE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF BUYING INTO SOLVING DENVER'S REALLY BIG PROBLEM.

THE IDEA OF PUBLIC FINANCING IS NOT KNEW.

STATES DO IT ALL THE TIME.

NOW IT IS GETTING IMPLEMENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE CITY OF DENVER.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING SOME SORT OF SEPARATION.

IT IS STILL TOO EARLY.

I JUST GOT HERE.

I MAY NOT KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IT IS EARLY IN THE RACE.

YOU ARE SEEING A BIT OF A SEPARATION.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING A TON MORE MONEY.

THERE IS A SELF-FUNDER WHO IS A REPUBLICAN.

WE GOT BIG PROBLEMS IN DIFFERENT.

THEY HAVE IDEAS.

LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN RUN WITH THEM.

>> NOW, LET'S TAKE OFF OUR LIGHTNING ROUND WHERE OUR PANELIST TALK ABOUT THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

>> THE COLORADO COURTS HAVE BEEN CONTROVERSIAL.

THERE WAS A RECENT DECISION ON THE DEFINITION REASONABLE DOUBT FOR COLORADO TRIALS THAT HAS DEFENSE LAWYERS.

I GOT REASONABLE DOUBTS ABOUT THE NEW DEFINITION TOO.

>> LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE I'M VERY ANGRY ABOUT USING BAD LANGUAGE ABOUT FRONTIER AIRLINES THE SCREW UP THEY MADE THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A REFUND BECAUSE I HAVE THIS TIME ON CAMERA.

I'M GOING TO USE IT FOR REVENGE.

>> YOU MEAN FRONTIER OR SOUTHWEST?

>> FRONTIER SAY WE WILL CHARGE YOU FOR OUR CANCELLATION.

>> I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE CITY OF DENVER TO PICK UP MY TRASH.

>> HOPEFULLY IT IS NOT THE SAME TRASH.

>> IT IS NOT THE SAME TRASH.

IT JUST POINTS AGAIN HOW GRAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IN DENVER THAT WHOEVER IS NEXT MAYOR NEEDS TO SOLVE THIS -- THESE ARE NOT NEW PROBLEMS.

THESE ARE NOT UNSOLVABLE PROBLEMS.

THEY ARE REALLY DIFFICULT ONE.

THE BASIC ONES ARE THE DIFFICULT ONES TO SOLVE.

>> WELL, MINE IS NOT QUITE AS SERIOUS.

IT IS A LITTLE KNOWN FACT MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY IS GROUNDHOG DAYS.

THIS WEEK WE CELEBRATED AND I GOT UP EARLY.

I WATCH THE LIVE FEED WITH ALL THE FANFARE AND ALL THE FIRE WORK.

THAT LITTLE TWARP FOUND HIS SHADOW.

I'M VERY COLD WORTHY LIKE YOU MENTIONED BUT I'M READY FOR SPRING.

>> I AM TOO.

THOSE PEOPLE HAVE A GOOD TIME AT THAT EVENT.

>> THEY DO.

>> THEY HAVE A GOOD TIME.

PATTY, SOMETHING GOOD THAT HAPPENS.

>> IT IS LIKE GROUNDHOG DAY IS EVERY DAY.

I'M TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS UNUSUAL.

JOHN DOE -- DONATED HIS PHOTOGRAPHS.

>> HE IS A GREAT MAN.

>> I LOOK COOKIES.

I HAD A COOKIE MADE BY JACK THE LAKEWOOD BAKER.

I IMAGINE HE IS BACK TO THE SUPREME COURT.

HE DOES MAKE DELICIOUS COOKIES.

THIS WHOLE IDEA YOU CAN FORCE SOMEBODY TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR CELEBRATIONS AND IN THINGS THAT YOU AGREE WITH THAT THEY DON'T IS TO OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND TO TOLLER RENT SOCIETY.

>> WHAT KIND OF COOKIE?

>> IT WAS A SUGAR COOKIE IN THE SHAPE OF A FROG.

>> I SEE SOME GREEN STILL.

>> YEAH.

FOR LATER.

>> LUIGI WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK?

>> I WAS IN ARIZONA FOR YEARS.

IT WAS 45 DEGREES YESTERDAY.

FOR SOMEBODY FROM ARIZONA SAYING 45 DEGREES IS GREAT, THAT'S CRAZY.

>> I THINK CELEBRATING THE ENTREPRENEUR.

WE HAD NEWS THIS WEEK FROM SECRETARY OF STATE OFFICE AND CU BUSINESS SCHOOL THAT IN THE FORTH QUARTER NEW BUSINESS FILINGS WERE 37%.

WHEN YOU HEAR ALL THE BAD NEWS YOU SEE THE BAD INDICATORS.

IT IS GREAT TO KNOW THERE ARE BRAVE PEOPLE TO START BUSINESSES.

NOT IN A WAY THAT REALLY SET ANY FLAGS.

HORRAY FOR THE ENTREPRENEUR.

>> I'D LIKE TO ADD CU BOULDER OPENED UP ON WEDNESDAY.

THE FIRST DAY OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONVERSATIONS.

YOU CAN ALWAYS CATCH THIS SHOW ANY TIME YOU WANT OR SHARE IT WITH FRIENDS AT PBS12.ORG OR STREAMING ON YOUTUBE.

IF THERE IS AN ISSUE YOU WOULD LIKE THE PANEL TO DISCUSS OR ANY COMMENTS ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT TONIGHT WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES OR EMAIL US AT CBS 12.ORG.

I'M KYLE DYER I'LL SEED YOU NEXT WEEK WHERE HOPEFULLY IT IS WARMER HERE ON PBS12.
