>>> HELLO, I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 14TH, FLAG DAY.

ON THIS DAY IN 1777, THE STARS AND STRIPES BECAME THE OFFICIAL FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES.

AND YES, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT OTHER FLAGS OVER THE LAST WEEK, SO WE'LL GET TO THAT.

BUT FIRST, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS WEEK'S INSIDERS, OUR PANEL, WELCOME TO PATTY CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTORD.

DAVID KOPEL, RESEARCH DIRECTOR AT THE INDEPENDENCE INSTITUTE.

PENFIELD TATE, DENVER ATTORNEY AND COMMUNITY LEADER WHO SERVED IN BOTH THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF THE COLORADO LEGISLATURE.

ALAYNA ALVAREZ, REPORTER AXIOS DENVER.

LET'S START BY DISCUSSING WHAT HAS ENSUED OVER THE LAST WEEK WITHIN THE COLORADO GOP.

WITH THE PRIMARY WEEKS AWAY, WHEN REPUBLICANS WILL SELECT NOMINEES FOR FOUR CONGRESSIONAL RACES.

THE STRONGEST PUSH YET IS UNDERWAY TO OUST THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PARTY.

PATTY?

>> LAST WEEK I STARTED OFF TALKING ABOUT DAVE WILLIAMS.

DAVE WILLIAMS THE HEAD OF THE GOP, COLORADO GOP HAD DONE THE GOD HATES PRIDE AND GOD HATES FLAGS EMAIL TWO WEEKS AGO, TEN DAYS AGO.

HE GOT A LOT OF CRITICISM INSTANTLY.

OTHERS WERE QUICK TO CRITICIZE HIM.

OTHER REPUBLICANS ARE ACQUITTING THEMSELVES WELL.

YOU HAVE THE HEAD OF THE JEFFCO REPUBLICAN PARTY NANCY LED THE MOVE TO GET THE SIGNATURES AND GET DAVE WILLIAMS OUT.

IT IS TIME FOR DAVE WILLIAMS TO STEP ASIDE FROM THE PARTY MANAGEMENT.

>> SO THESE PETITIONS HAVE BEEN SIGNED.

THERE ARE SIGNATURES.

WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP?

THERE HAS TO BE A MEETING.

HE HAS TO BE THE ONE TO CALL THE MEETING?

>> ONCE YOU HAVE 25% OF THE REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS SIGN A PETITION FOR HIM TO BE REMOVED, THEN THERE HAS TO BE A VOTE WITHIN 30 -- A MEETING AND VOTE WITHIN 30 DAYS.

HE WILL HAVE THE MEETING.

HE WILL NEED 60% OF THE REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO OUST HIM.

I THINK THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF THAT.

THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS.

FIRST OF ALL, AS STATE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN HE HAS BEEN MISAPPROPRIATING STATE REPUBLICAN FUNDS FOR HIS OWN CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS.

SECOND AS PART OF THAT CAMPAIGN HE HAS BEEN SENDING OUT FUND-RAISERS.

HE IS KEEPING THE MONEY FOR HIMSELF.

THIRD, WHATEVER YOU THINK OF THE GAY RIGHTS ISSUE SOME PEOPLE CAN -- WILLIAMS OPPONENT IN THE EL PASO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS JEFF WHO LED THE COMPANY AGAINST A BALLOT INITIATIVE TO CREATE CIVIL UNIONS.

HE DIDN'T GO AROUND SAYING GAY PEOPLE WERE GROOMERS OR DEGENERATES.

AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE JERKS LIKE DAVE WILLIAMS TRYING TO DRIVE THEM AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

>> THE DIFFICULT THING ABOUT THIS FELLOW.

HE BEHAVES LIKE A CRIMINAL IN MANY RESPECTS.

YOU CAN'T TELL IF HE IS A TRUE BELIEVER.

WHETHER HE BELIEVES THE STUFF HE SAYS.

I TEND TO LEAN TOWARDS THE OPPORTUNIST SIDE.

ANY ONE WHO IS INVESTED WOULD WANT TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES AND THE PARTY IN A FASHION THAT MAXIMIZES THE ABILITY OF THEIR CANDIDATES TO GET ELECTED.

THIS GUY RUNS AROUND SAYING AND DOING STUFF THAT IS TO MANY PEOPLE PERSONALLY OFFENSIVE.

TO SOME PEOPLE POTENTIALLY CRIMINALLY SANCTIONABLE.

HE DOES IT IN THE NAME OF THE STATE PARTY WHICH CAST -- DISTANCING THEMSELVES FROM THE FOOL THAT THEY MAY NOT PERSONALLY BELIEVE.

NOW THEY GOT TO RUN AND DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST WHAT THEIR STATE PARTY CHAIRMANMAN IS DOING WHO IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THEIR CAMPAIGN.

>> 15 YEARS AGO WHEN DAVE WILLIAMS WAS STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT HE WAS IMPEACHED.

HIS VIEWS HAVEN'T CHANGED THAT MUCH.

HE HASN'T LEARNED FROM EXPRESSING THEM.

THE BIG PICTURE IT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR A WHILE THE REPUBLICAN HAS BEEN SCANDALIZING THEMSELVES.

WE HAVE TWO GOP CANDIDATES RUNS WHO HAVE REJECTED THE PARTY'S ENDORSEMENT.

WE HAVE 100 REPUBLICAN LEADERS WHO SIGNED THIS PETITION TO GET WILLIAMS OUT.

IT IS A SIGN THAT THE PARTY IS WAKING UP TO HOW IT HAS BECOME A NATIONAL LAUGHING STALK.

THE PRIDE FLAG WAS FEATURED ON THE DAILY SHOW LAST WEEK JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT THIS PARTY.

I THINK IT IS FAIR FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO BE CALLING NANCY BRAVE.

I THINK PEOPLE ARGUE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A CHOICE.

IT IS EITHER THIS OR WATCH THE PARTY EXPERIENCE A MASS EXODUS.

>>> THE RACE FOR DENVER'S NEXT DISTRICT ATTORNEY IS BETWEEN TWO DEMOCRATS.

THERE IS NO REPUBLICAN RUNNING, SO THIS IS IT.

EITHER JOHN WALSH OR LEORA JOSEPH WILL BE ELECTED ON UNION 25th PRIMARY AND THE PART IS SPLIT.

A HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR CITY IN COLORADO.

>> I THINK OUR VOTERS HAVE A CHOICE.

IF YOU THINK THE PUBLIC SAFETY SITUATION IN DENVER IS GOOD AND YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH IT, THEN YOU WOULD VOTE FOR JOHN WALSH.

HE IS ENDORSED BY BETH McCANN THE CURRENT DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

JOSEPH IS ENDORSED BY THE DENVER POLICE ASSOCIATION.

THE DENVER POLICE WHILE STILL BEING STRICT ON OFFICERS WHO MISBEHAVE.

TO STOP THIS CATCH AND RELEASE THAT WE HAVE.

JUST A FEW DAYS AGO A RECYCLING STORY, YOU KNOW, HERE IS MY LAMP LET'S HAVE SOMEONE ELSE BUY IT GOT DESTROYED BY ARSON AND BE OUT OF BUSINESS.

THE GUY WHO DID IT WAS OUT ON BOND FOR FELONY ARSON AND FELONY BURGLARY FROM JANUARY.

HAD FOUR OTHER ARREST FROM NOVEMBER TO JANUARY.

IT LEAVES THE GUY LIKE THAT AT LARGE AND HASN'T BROUGHT THAT GUY TO TRIAL AND PUT HIM IN PRISON.

>> PEN?

>> FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR HER LAST TERM, SHE HAD A TRACK RECORD OF HOLDING POLICE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE.

NOW YOU HAVE TWO CANDIDATES RUNNING ON I'M GOING TO BE STRICT ON CRIME PLATFORM.

IT IS INTERESTING HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

JOHN WALSHED HAS RUN FOR DA.

LEORA IS NEW TO RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

GOTTEN A LOT OF SUPPORT AMONG ELECTED OFFICIALS AND PARTY ACTIVIST.

THERE ISN'T A LOT OF DIFFERENCE IN MOST OF THEIR POSITIONS.

>> AXIOS HAS WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT THESE TWO?

>> WE HAVE WROTE ABOUT CAMPAIGN FINANCE REPORT.

MONEY TENDS TO BE A GOOD INDICATOR WHO WILL WIN.

JOHN WALSH HAS A SIZABLE -- THEY DON'T HOLD WIDELY DIFFERENT IDEOLOGY.

WHEN I INTERVIEWED BOTH OF THEM RECENTLY THEY DON'T SEE IT THAT WAY.

I THINK THE FACTS SPEAK DIFFERENTLY.

WE HAVE WALSH SUPPORTED BY THREE FORMER DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS.

WE HAVE JOSEPH WHO IS SUPPORTED BY 15 FORMER AND CURRENT STATE DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS.

IT GETS INTERESTING WHEN YOU ZOOM A LITTLE MORE.

SENATOR JOHN HICKENLOOPER IS BACKING WALSH.

FOUR OF HIS TOP AIDS ARE LINING BEHIND JOSEPH.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS TALKING TO POLITICAL STRATEGIST A CONTEST LIKE THIS IS DEMOCRATIC FOCUSED IS GOOD FOR THE PARTY.

IT IS GOOD FOR DENVER NO MATTER WHO WINS.

>> WE ARE SEEING GROWN UPS WHO CIVIL CONVERSATIONS.

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AN ISSUE EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

THEY DO HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES.

THEY ARE ABLE TO EXPLAIN THEM.

THEY CAN DO IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU THINK EITHER ONE WILL BE A GREAT CIVIL SERVICE.

THERE IS NO QUESTION JOHN WALSH IS ALSO COMPETENT.

WHAT IT SHOWS IS THERE IS A HUNGER IN DENVER.

THAT IS THE MAYOR'S RACE.

PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SERVE AND NOT ABLE TO DO IT IN THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN THERE SO LONG.

THEY ARE GOING OUT FOR THESE OTHER OFFICES.

IT IS A GREAT PROBLEM FOR DENVER.

>> GOVERNOR POLIS DID TWO THINGS THIS WEEK.

SIGN OFF OF NATIONAL GUARD'S CYBER OPERATION UNIT.

SOMETHING HE NEVER GETS INVOLVED WITH IS RACES.

HE ENDORSED CAMACHO CURRENT STATE REPRESENTATIVE ELIZABETH EPPS.

>> REALLY I THINK AS FAR BACK AS ANYBODY AT THIS TABLE CAN REMEMBER.

>> LET'S NOT FORGET DOUG BRUCE -- IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE GOVERNOR CAME FORWARD.

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHERS.

WHAT I WOULD SAY IS GOVERNOR MAKING THIS ENDORSEMENT IS SORT OF SIMILAR TO THE DAVE WILLIAMS STORY.

BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THE REPUBLICAN IS FRACTURING IN PLAIN VIEW.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS GOING THROUGH A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN TERMS OF ITS WHAT SOMEONE CALLS THE FAR PROGRESSIVE WING VERSUS THE MORE TRADITIONAL MODERATE WING.

TO SEE THE GOVERNOR OR A LOT OF OTHER STATE LEGISLATORS CHALLENGE ONE OF THEIR COLLEAGUES IS TYPICALLY UNHEARD OF.

AS WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE ON PRIOR SHOWS.

REPRESENTATIVE EPPS HAS IN MY OPINION BEHALFED ON A FASHION NOT BEFITTING SOMEONE WHO IS ELECTED TO OFFICE.

THERE IS A WAY YOU RAISE ISSUES WHEN YOU ARE PART OF THE LEGISLATIVE PARTY.

SOMETIMES YOU WIN THE VOTE AND SOMETIMES YOU LOSE THE VOTE.

SHE HASN'T ALWAYS DONE THAT.

IT IS COMING BACK ON HER NOW.

>>> THE AURORA CITY COUNCIL HAS SIGNED OFF ON A NEW TOUGH LOVE MEASURES FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS.

THE CAMPAIGN BAN IS EXTENDED TO RUN ALONG 225.

THE 72-HOUR HEADS UP BEFORE THE SWEEP IS GOING AWAY AND CITATIONS WILL BE GIVEN OUT TO PEOPLE AT ENCAMPMENTS, AND IF YOU RECEIVE ONE, YOU MUST REPORT TO A NEW COURT.

>> YEAH, I THINK TOUGH LOVE IS JUST TOUGH ENFORCEMENT.

I DON'T THINK THERE IS LOVE BEHIND THIS.

AURORA IS ONE OF THESE COMMUNITIES THAT DECIDED THAT WE DON'T WANT ENCAMPMENTS WE WILL REMOVE PEOPLE OFF THE STREET.

THAT IS THEIR PREROGATIVE.

THAT IS WHAT THEIR CITY COUNCIL HAS DONE.

I'M NOT CONVINCED IT IS GOING TO BE SUPPORTIVE.

THE DEVIL IS GOING TO BE IN THE DETAILS.

IF THEY FUND THE SUPPORT SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO FIND THEMSELVES UNHOUSED, THAT IS REALLY THE DIFFICULT TESTS.

IN DENVER JOHNSTON IS A DIFFERENT APPROACH.

HIS APPROACH IS GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREET RAND INTO SHELTER.

AURORA IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SHELTER PART.

WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM, WE DON'T WANT THEM TO BE THERE.

>> THIS POLICY IS COMING DOWN AT AN INTERESTING TIME.

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IS WEIGHS RIGHT NOW ON THE BAN.

THE COURT DECIDE WILL HAVE HOW COLORADO CITIES ENFORCE THEIR OWN LAWS.

THAT DECISION IS GOING TO COME DOWN BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.

AS EARLY AS TODAY, AS PENN SAID THIS IS A CONTRAST.

A LOT HAVE PRAISED FOR BEING SUCCESSFUL NOT GETTING PEOPLE OFF THE STREET BUT KEEPING THEM OFF THE STREET.

CONSIDERING HOW RELATIVELY SMALL THE POPULATION IS COMPARED TO DENVER.

THE LATEST DATA WE HAVE WE WILL SEE THE DATA NEXT MONTH.

THE LATEST DATA WE HAVE SHOWS ABOUT 572 PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AND 163 OF THEM UNSHELTERED.

THAT IS COMPARED TO DENVER THAT HAS 6,000 HOMELESS PEOPLE AND 1400 OF THEM UNSHELTERED.

IT IS QUITE INTERESTING TO SEE KAUFMAN COME DOWN AND CITY COUNCIL TO COME DOWN THIS HARD.

THE CAMPING BAN THAT IT HAS WASN'T EFFECTIVE.

>> THERE IS NO LOVE HERE.

WE WILL SEE HOW EFFICIENT IT IS.

I HAVE DRIVEN ALONG 225 IN AURORA.

YOU SEE PEOPLE CAMPING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAYS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL SEND THE POLICE OUT.

AURORA HAS A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF THEM.

WILL THEY GET THESE PEOPLE TO COURT?

WOULD YOU GO WHEN YOU RIP UP YOUR CITATION.

YOU CAN GO TO ANOTHER CITY AND IGNORE AURORA.

I THINK COMPARED TO DENVER'S -- COLORADO SPRINGS HAS SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE WHICH MIGHT BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY.

>> IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP TO COURT THEY COULD ARREST YOU.

>> THESE ILLEGAL CAMPGROUNDS ARE TAKING PUBLIC SPACE FROM THE PUBLIC.

THEY ARE CRIME HOT SPOTS.

ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGH AMOUNT OF RETAIL THEFT.

MAKES IT HARD ON SMALL BUSINESSES.

THE AURORA POLICY SAYS WE WILL GIVE YOU SHELTER BUT IT WILL COME WITH TREATMENT.

THE MORE YOU GO THROUGH TREATMENT, THE BETTER SHELTER YOU GET AT SOME POINT HAVING YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL ROOM.

IF YOU WON'T ACCEPT TREATMENT, YOU WILL NOT GET A FREE PASS FOR VIOLENCE, FOR TRESPASSING AND RETAIL THEFT.

>>> SUMMER IS HERE, BUT IT'S HARDLY EASING GOING IN COLORADO.

AN ABANDONED CAMPFIRE SPARKED A FIRE THIS WEEK NEAR TWIN LAKES, SOUTHWEST OF LEADVILLE.

THERE HAVE BEEN UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS OF WILDLIFE ATTACKS ON PEOPLE IN SEVERAL COUNTIES IN COLORADO, AND CPW IS REPORTING A HIGHER-THAN-NORMAL NUMBER OF WATER DEATHS IN OUR LAKES AND RESERVOIRS.

THESE THREE THINGS SHOW US THAT WE HAVE TO BE AWARE.

>> YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

BE CAUTIOUS OUTSIDE.

ATTACKS FROM ELK, MOOSE, DEER.

WE COUNTED SIX ATTACKS ON PEOPLE.

IT IS NOT PEOPLE JUST WALKING THEIR DOGS.

YOU MIGHT EXPECT.

THESE ANIMALS SEE THEM AS PREDATORS.

IT HAS BEEN A KID RIDING A BIKE.

A KID ON THE PLAYGROUND.

WHAT IS GOING ON IT IS SEASON.

THERE ARE FEMALE ANIMAL THAT ARE PROTECTIVE OF THEIR YOUNG.

WHAT IS UNPRECEDENT IS THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTACT THAT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN THESE ANIMALS AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE LED TO SERIOUS INJURIES TOO.

THEY GAVE US SOME TIPS HOW TO STAY SAFE IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE.

KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEASH.

NUMBER TWO, IF YOU ARE CHARGED DON'T TURN YOUR BACK.

KEEP EYE CONTACT.

TRY TO PUT A TREE OR A BIG ROCK.

THIS IS A BIG ONE.

IF YOU SEE A BABY ANIMAL THAT IS -- THAT APPEARS ABANDON.

LEAVE IT ALONE.

THEIR MOM IS OUT FOR FOOD AND LEFT THEM PURPOSELY THAT BABY ANIMALS LIKE MOOSE, DEER AND ELK IF YOU TOUCH THEM IT TAKES AWAY THEIR ARMOR BUT CAN FORCE THEIR PARENTS TO ABANDON THEM.

>> NO SELFIES OR ELSE?

>> I THINK YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT.

WILDLIFE IS UPSET AS EVERYONE ELSE IS ABOUT OUR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME, AFTER COLORADO AND THE REST OF THE WEST SOMEONE CAN LEAVE A CAMPFIRE UNATTENDED.

WE WILL HAVE A HOT SUMMER.

PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN TO BE CAREFUL.

THE FLIP THERE IS TOO MUCH WATER IN THE RIVERS, IN THE CREEKS.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF BANS.

YOU CAN'T GO TO MOST PLACES.

>> THEY HAVE LIMITED WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DO.

PAY ATTENTION.

>> YOU LIVE IN BOULDER.

YOU ATTEMPTED TO GO TO THE CREEK?

>> NO.

IT IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE.

SOME OF THESE ATTACKS OCCURRED IN ESTES PARK WHICH HAS NOT BEEN EXPANDING WILDLY.

LOCATIONS COME IN SORT OF THE CLASSIC REGULAR ESTES PARK WHICH USED TO BE SAFE.

ANOTHER PROTECTIVE THING TO DO IS HAVE A FIREARM.

THERE WAS A PREGNANT WOMAN NORTHEASTERN EL PASO COUNTY WHO WAS ATTACKED BY A DEER.

THE WOMAN'S FATHER RAN OUT SHOT THE DEER WITH RUBBER BULLETS WHICH DIDN'T WORK.

HAD TO USE LIVE AMMUNITION.

I'M NOT SAYING A HANDGUN IS GOING TO STOP A MOOSE.

IF THE MOOSE IS COMING AT YOU IT GIVES YOU A FIGHTING CHANCE.

>> WE WILL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER DAY.

I THINK THIS IS A SITUATION THAT HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR A WHILE.

I WILL OFFER THIS.

MOST VIEWERS WILL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

WE HAVE SEEN SIGNS THAT SAY DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE FEED THEM.

FOR YEARS STAY AWAY FROM THE ANIMALS AND PEOPLE WON'T STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

SOME OF THE WILDLIFE HAS GOTTEN USED TO BEING AROUND HUMAN BEINGS.

WHILE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR BEHAVIOR ALL OF THE TIME, WE ARE ENCOACHING ON THEIR HABITAT SOME OF THE FEAR FACTOR IS GONE.

I HOPE WE COME UP WITH SOME SORT OF ENFORCEMENT REGIME.

THESE PEOPLE THAT LEAVE UNATTENDED CAMPFIRES WE GOT TO DEAL IN PRETTY SEVERE TERMS.

>> NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF THIS WEEK.

PATTY LET'S START WITH YOU.

>> I DO NOT WANT THE PEOPLE OF DENVER BE DEFINED BY THAT SONG THAT IS ALL OVER THE UNITED AIRLINE COMMERCIALS RIGHT NOW.

RISE UP AND ASK THEM TO TAKE IT DOWN.

>> AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS PUBLIC COMMENT IS ALLOWED BY RESIDENTS, BY PARENTS OF STUDENTS, BY STAFF OR BY PRESENT OR FORMER STUDENTS.

SO TO PROTEST THAT HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC COMMENT HE TAPED HIS MOUTH SHUT.

THAT IS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE THING.

>> MINE IS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.

IT IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH WITH CANDIDATES DISCOURAGING GOVERNMENTAL INSTITUTIONS.

SOMEONE LIKE DAVE WILLIAMS.

IT IS DIFFICULT WHEN WE LOOSE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR COURT SYSTEM.

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IN TERMS OF WHAT I THINK ARE OBVIOUS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OR AT THE VERY LEAST THE APPEARANCE OF IMPRIORITY IS DISTRESSING AND DISTURBING.

THEY FAITH IN CONFIDENCE IN THE RULE OF LAW IS NOT FAR BEHIND.

I'M CONCERNED WITH HOW THE JUSTICES ARE BEHAVING.

I WISH CONGRESS COULD GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER.

>> DENVER LAW ENFORCEMENT IS IN HOT WATER AGAIN.

A MAN JUST FILED A CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT.

THE CITY COUNCIL EARLY THIS WEEK APPROVED $500,000 WORTH OF SETTLEMENTS TO CASES INVOLVED DENVER POLICE.

THIS IS THE LATEST IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN SETTLEMENT IN JURY TRIAL FOR MISCONDUCT CLAIMS.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING POSITIVE THAT HAPPENED.

>> IF YOU DIDN'T COME DOWN TO THE FEST LAST WEEKEND YOU GOT ANOTHER CHANCE.

THERE WILL BE NO ATTACKING MOOSE.

IT WILL BE A GREAT TIME.

>> POW WOW IS GOING TO BE THERE.

>> HE WILL NOT POUND YOU.

>> THIS STARTED IN THE 1950s.

>> IT STARTED LONG BEFORE IT BECAME A NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

>> ALL OVER COLORADO, WATCHING THIS TAPING -- ONE OF THE CAMERAS ON THIS PROGRAM RIGHT NOW IS A CHALLENGE FOR ALL SUMMER INTERN.

>> I LOVE THE INTERN PROGRAMS.

A COUPLE OF MY INTERNS ARE EMPLOYEES WITH THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

PATTY STOLE MINE.

JUNETEENTH IS A WONDERFUL CELEBRATION.

FOLKS OUGHT TO COME AND EXPERIENCE THE FESTIVAL.

IT WILL BE A BLAST.

>> IT WILL BE A FUN WEEKEND.

>> COLORADO HAS TWO NEW WINNERS WHICH IS EXCITING ANNOUNCED THIS WEEK.

THEY ARE A COUPLE.

THEY RUN NUMBEROUS RESTAURANTS.

THEY WERE NAMED BEST IN THE COUNTRY WHICH IS A BIG DEAL.

WE HAVE MATT WHO WAS NAMED BEST CHEF.

FOOD IN COLORADO IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.

>> GOOD FOR US.

MY SHOUTOUT A BIOLOGY TEACHER MADE IT TO THE U.S. OPEN.

HE SAYS HE HAS INFER BEEN TO A U.S. OPEN.

HE IS ONE OF THE FEW SLOTS OF ARMATURE THAT GOT IN.

WHAT AN AMAZING THING.

WHEN HE GOES BACK AND TALKS TO HIS KIDS HERE IS WHAT I DID.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

WE APPRECIATE YOU.

THANKS TO THE TWO DADS.
