>>> HELLO, I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 7TH.

LET ME GET RIGHT TO INTRODUCING YOU TO THIS WEEK'S INSIDERS, OUR PANEL.

WELCOME TO PATTY CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTORD.

ERIC SONDERMAN, COLUMNIST FOR COLORADO POLITICS AND THE DENVER AND COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE.

CHRIS ROURKE, CONSULTANT AT ROURKE MEDIA.

ALVINA VASQUEZ, AN ADVOCACY LEADER IN DENVER.

BY NOW, WE ALL SHOULD HAVE OUR BALLOTS IN HAND WITH THE NAMES OF THE CANDIDATES WHO WANT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE PRIMARY ELECTION ON JUNE 25TH TO THE GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

AND SINCE WE LAST MET HERE ON COLORADO INSIDE OUT, THE DEBATES HAVE CONTINUED, THE MESSAGES ARE SPINNING, AND THE CANDIDATES ARE WORKING HARD TO CONVINCE VOTERS THAT THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR COLORADO GOING FORWARD.

>> THE CLEAR WINNER IS KYLE CLARK.

NATIONAL ATTENTION.

JIMMY KIMMEL HAS JUMPED IN.

GOOD FOR KYLE CLARK WHO ASKED SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS.

I REALLY WANT TO CONGRATULATE WHO HAS PAID ATTENTION THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT?

ALL OF A SUDDEN THANK YOU DAVID WILLIAMS PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO ARCHULETTA.

DAVID WILLIAMS SENDS OUT THE GOD HATE FLAG ANTIPRIDE.

THE MOST HATEFUL PIECE I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS SINCE HE SENT IT OUT LAST YEAR.

IT IS APPALLING YOU COULDN'T THINK DAVID WILLIAMS COULD DO WORSE.

>> I WROTE A COLUMN THIS PAST WEEK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.

I CALLED IT EXTREMISM TEST FOR BOTH PARTIES.

I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

THOSE CONGRESSIONAL SEATS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE.

DAVID WILLIAMS CONTINUES TO JUST MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE WHOLE PROCESS IN DISTRICT FIVE.

I THINK THERE IS EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO LOSE THAT RACE.

UNLIKE THE BOEBERT RACE THERE ARE MULTIPLE CANDIDATES.

BOEBERT CAN WIN WITH A 40% NUMBER.

FRANK HAS THE ABILITY TO END THIS ABILITY TO END THIS EMBARRASSMENT.

FOR LEGISLATIVE SEATS BETWEEN ULTRA PROGRESSIVE, DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF AMERICA.

WHETHER IT IS TIM HERNANDEZ OR ELIZABETH EPPS OR A FEW OTHERS.

THAT IS WHAT THIS RACE IS ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, BALLOTS ARE OUT.

WE WILL HAVE RESULTS IN UNDER THREE WEEKS.

>> CHRIS, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?

>> THE SPECIAL ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED ON THE PRIMARY.

I WAS A MODERATOR FOR THE REPUBLICAN RUMBLES.

GREG LOPEZ 24 HOURS BEFORE THE DEBATE DECIDED NOT TO ATTEND HE WAS NOT GOING TO BE ENDORSED BY THE REPUBLICAN WHO WAS A HOST FOR THE EVENT.

THAT LED TO WIDESPREAD WHISPERING.

SHE DEBATED WITH TWO CANDIDATES, A LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE AND ANOTHER CANDIDATE.

VERY WELL-SPOKEN.

TALKED ABOUT COMMUNITY, TALKED ABOUT FAMILY.

TALKED ABOUT HER RURAL ROOTS.

JEFF IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE PACK.

THERE IS A LOT OF TERRITORY STILL NEEDED TO BE COVERED.

MORE THAN 50% OF THE PEOPLE THEY POLLED HAD EITHER NOT HEARD OF THE CANDIDATES OR UNDECIDED.

THAT WILL BE AN INTERESTING RACE TO WATCH.

>> THERE IS NOT MUCH TO WATCH THERE.

MY EYES ARE ACROSS THE STATE.

WHAT IS INTERESTING I THINK THE FUTURE OF THE DISTRICT AND WHAT THOSE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AND THOSE RUNNING FOR OFFICE MIGHT CHANGE THE GAME IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

I THINK IT IS A PATH WORTH WATCHING TO SEE HOW MODERATE AND HOW EXTREME THAT DISTRICT IS GOING TO GO.

>> I HAVE HEARD THE DEMOCRATS ARE INTENDING -- THEY TARGETED CD4 AND TAKING OVER THE SMALLER RACES.

THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS SO THERE IS A SWITCH IN THE DISTRICT.

>> WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LATE '90s EARLY 2000s.

IT SEEMS TO BE THOSE STRATEGIES ARE WORKING.

I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO THE ECONOMY.

>> POLITICS IS NOT STATIC.

POLITICS IS CONSTANTLY IN MOTION.

I THINK IT IS THE HEAVIEST POSSIBLE LIFTS.

WHERE AS BOEBERT OLD DISTRICT IS A 9 POINT ADVANTAGE.

BUT NONETHELESS, LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY.

EITHER NOW OR AS POINTS OUT SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD.

THE REPUBLICAN WOULD BE COMPLETELY, TERM -- DEAD.

>> THEY ARE ELECTING FROM THE BOTTOM UP.

WHILE DAVID WILLIAMS IS PLAYING ALL HIS GAMES, THE COLORADO DEMOCRATS HAVE ANNOUNCED THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

THEY ARE GOING FOR SMALL LOWER LEVEL.

>> YOU SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH AND LOOK AT THE CANDIDATES ON YOUR BALLOT.

IN-PERSON VOTING THOSE CENTERS OPEN MONDAY JUNE 17TH.

>>> TODAY, JUNE 7TH IS THE DEADLINE FOR GOVERNOR POLIS TO SIGN OR VETO, BILL OR ELSE THEY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME LAW.

>> INDEED THE MOST INTERESTING ONE IS SENATE BILL 210.

I'M GOING TO PULL BACK THE CURTAIN A LITTLE BIT.

WE ARE TAPING IT A DAY EARLY ON THURSDAY.

SO WE ARE A LITTLE BIT OF A LOSS HERE WHAT GOVERNOR IS GOING TO DO ON SENATE BILL 210 WHICH IS THE LEGISLATURE'S ATTEMPT AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO TRY TO MESS WITH AND I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.

THE INITIATIVE THAT IS GOING FORWARD THIS FALL TO BRING RANK CHOICE VOTING TO COLORADO.

THE DEMOCRATS WHO RUN THE LEGISLATURE WITH SOME REPUBLICANS INVOLVED AS WELL WANTED TO -- ON THE CHANCE OR EVEN POSSIBLE LIKELIHOOD THAT RANK CHOICE VOTING PASSES IN NOVEMBER.

THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT NO IMPLEMENT.

IT WAS A CYNICAL BILL IN MY MIND.

IT SPEAKS TO SORT OF THE ONE PARTY RULE WE HAVE IN THIS STATE.

WHEN POLITICS DOESN'T BECOME COMPETITIVE ARROGANCE HAS A CHANCE TO BLOOM.

IT IS STILL GOING THROUGH THE TITLE SETTING PROCESS.

WITH THE MONEY BEHIND IT, IF THE SPONSOR WANT TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT IT WILL MAKE THE BALLOT.

>> ADDING TO MORE CONFUSION TO OUR VOTERS.

>> THERE IS THE COMMERCIAL RIGHT NOW THAT FORMER SPEAKER IS RUNNING RIGHT NOW COMING AGAINST WHAT HAPPENED WHICH ADDS ANOTHER LAYER.

LAST MINUTE CHANGES MUCKING THINGS UP.

IF THE CHANGES AND THE VETTING PROCESS OF RANK CHOICE VOTING WAS SO IMPORTANT, PERHAPS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN ITS OWN BILL.

IT COULD BE VETTED AND CONSIDERED.

POLIS IS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE CLERK -- THE COUNTY CLERK IN THE STATE WHICH SUPPORTED THE BILL UP UNTIL THE POINT WHERE IT CHANGED.

THEY WANT TO SEE THIS BILL GO FORWARD.

THEY DON'T WANT IT VETOED.

.

>> WE KNOW COUNTY CLERKS ARE SUPPORTING IT.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOMETHING SO BIG AND COMPLICATED IS SUPER IMPORTANT.

WE KNOW COUNTY CLERKS ARE FOR IT.

HOW THE BILL IS WRITTEN THE LAST FIXES MAKING SURE THEY KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH IT.

WE WILL SEE WHAT THE GOVERNOR DECIDES.

>> HE HAS BEEN BUSY MAKING THE ROUNDS WITH THOSE PINS.

>> AT THIS TIME LAST WEEK WE WERE LEARNING THAT TRUMP'S TRIAL WAS RIGGED.

LET'S NOT FORGET HE USED THAT TERM FOR COLORADO'S ELECTION BACK IN 2016.

THE RIGGED I ELECTION OF 2020.

COLORADO HAS BEEN THE GOLD STANDARD WITH THE ACCESS TO THE BALLOT BECAUSE OF MAIL-IN.

BECAUSE OF THE AUDIT IT GOES THROUGH.

THIS TO CHANGE THINGS AT THE LAST SECOND WHEN THE BILL HAD THE COUNTY CLERKS.

IT WAS DOING THINGS THEY WANTED TO DO.

IT IS DEFYING VOTERS WHO MIGHT WANT TO VOTE ON RANK VOTING.

IT IS A BAD MOVE THAT THE BILL CAME OUT THIS WAY.

WE WOULD RATHER HAVE THE GOLD STANDARD THAT NEEDS A LITTLE FIXING THAT SOMETHING THAT ELIMINATES VOTERS COULD POSSIBLE VOTE ON.

>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK EXECUTIVE ACTION ON TUESDAY THAT LIMITS THE NUMBER OF MIGRANTS WHO CAN CLAIM ASLY ALUMINUM -- ASYLUM BETWEEN PORTS OF ENTRY AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND HE'S GETTING MIXED REACTION FROM BOTH SIDES FOR HIS TIGHTENING OF THE BORDER.

GOVERNOR POLIS WAS QUICK TO APPLAUD THE MOVE AND AGAIN MENTIONING THE COST IT'S BEEN TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CARE FOR MIGRANTS.

MEANWHILE, THE NEW NUMBERS WERE RELEASED ON JUST HOW MUCH MONEY THE MIGRANTS CRISIS HAS COST DENVER, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE METRO AREA SINCE DECEMBER OF 2022.

LET'S START WITH YOU.

>> THE GOP IS LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING, YOU KNOW, THE GOP WHO IS CAMPAIGNING ON A SECURE BORDER IS SAYING THIS IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.

YOU HAVE THE PROGRESSIVES CRITICIZING.

THE COST OF THE MIGRANT CRISIS IS COMING UP $340 MILLION SINCE DECEMBER OF 2022.

THAT BREAKS DOWN INTO ALMOST 222 MILLION IN EDUCATION COST FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THIS COMES AT A TIME WE HAVE FULLY FUNDED K-12 EDUCATION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN A DECADE.

IN DENVER, IT LOOKS LIKE DENVER IS GOING TO SPEND $90 MILLION.

SO A LOT OF COST AND SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING BIDEN'S ACTION IS A LITTLE TOO LITTLE, A LITTLE STOO -- TOO LATE.

>> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.

IMMIGRATION REFORM HAS BEEN HELD UP FOR DECADES.

NOW WE HAVE THESE POLICIES, THESE ASYLUM THINGS.

IT IS NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM WE HAVE AN OUTDATED SYSTEM.

THERE IS NO LINE.

EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT PATH.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THE WAY IT IS WORKING.

WE NEED TO GO BACK TO -- GOING BACK TO THE DIVIDIVENESS.

>> PATTY?

>> AS YOU SAID THE NUMBERS ARE ALL OVER.

YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE STUDIES THAT IMMIGRANTS, THAT WOULD INCLUDE COMING IN AND SEEKING ASYLUM THEY ADD TO THE ECONOMY BECAUSE OF THE WORK THEY DO AND THE MONEY THEY SPEND.

YOU HAVE SEEN A LOT OF VARYING STUDIES THAT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO SHAKE OUT.

WHAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF IS FEDERAL MONEY TO COME HELP WITH CITIES LIKE DENVER THAT SAW SUCH AN INFLUX.

I WOULD HAVE HOPED BIDEN WOULD HAVE ACTED SOONER.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR HIS PARTY TO TALK SOONER ABOUT WHAT THE POSITION IS.

HOW WE DO NEED A NEW PROGRAM RATHER THAN JUST COME UP WITH THIS SO LATE IN THE GAME.

>> ALVINA BRINGS UP THE CORE POINT IN IMMIGRATION REFORM.

YOU FELT THERE WAS A VIABLE PATH TO GET THERE.

NOW GIVEN THE POLITICAL DYSFUNCTION YOU DON'T SEE ANY PATH.

BOTH PARTIES WILL HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING MAJOR TO GET TO THAT POINT.

REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO GIVE SOMETHING ON THE HUMANITARIAN SIDE.

DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE TO GIVE SOMETHING ON THE BORDER, ENFORCEMENT SIDE.

ANY COUNTRY HAS TO HAVE CONTROL OF ITS BORDERS IF IT IS GOING TO BE A SOVEREIGN NATION.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE BORDER ENFORCEMENT.

DEMOCRATS HAVE GOTTEN SOFTER AND SOFTER WITH JOE BIDEN GETTING CAUGHT IN THE CROSS CURRENTS.

OBVIOUSLY HE TOOK THIS STEP BECAUSE OF DECLINING POLL NUMBERS AROUND THIS ISSUE.

THERE IS SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS IN HIS WHOLE PARTY WHO REGARD THIS AS AN OVERSTEP.

THEY REGARD THE BORDER SHOULD BE LARGELY OPEN AND THAT HUMANITARIAN INTEREST SHOULD BE THE ONLY INTEREST.

>> ON THE SIDE NOTE.

THIS WEEK MAYOR PLEDGED TO GET ALL THE HOMELESS OFF THE STREETS BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

ANOTHER GOAL FOR HIM BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

THERE WERE NOT MANY DETAILS.

>> THE DETAILS WERE HOW CONFUSING IT IS.

YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS FOR VETS THAT HAS TO BEEN ALIGNED WITH THE CITY IS USING.

DENVER IS NOT THE FIRST CITY FOCUSED ON HOMELESS VETS.

I THINK HE WILL SUCCEED JUST LIKE OTHER CITIES HAVE SUCCEEDED.

IT IS A GOOD POPULATION TO FOCUS ON.

>>> THE REPORT FROM COMMON SENSE INSTITUTE TALKS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF MIGRANT ON SCHOOLS.

THE 17th SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE METRO AREA SAW A GROWTH OF 15 THOUSAND 725 STUDENTS BECAUSE OF NEWCOMER CHILDREN.

BY NOW, MOST STUDENTS IN COLORADO ARE ON SUMMER BREAK, AN INTERESTING ARTICLE FROM BOARD HAWK POINTS OUT THAT COLORADO MANDATES SCHOOL CONTACT DAYS THAN ANY OTHER STATE.

I'M GOING TO START WITH YOU ALVINA.

>> I KNOW CHRIS MENTIONED WE ARE FULLY FUNDED.

WE ARE NOT FULLY FUNDED.

THERE IS A HUGE EDUCATION GAB.

TABOR IS KEEPING OUR SCHOOLS UNDER FUNDED.

AND VOTERS ARE CONTINUALLY BEING ASKED.

WE HAVE BALLOT INITIATIVES THAT ARE KILLING THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENT PIECE.

I THINK IT IS AN UPHILL BATTLE.

THERE IS VERY LITTLE STATE BUDGET FOR THAT.

>> RIGHT.

MOST STATES REQUIRE 180 CONTACT DAYS.

WE HAVE 160.

THAT'S THE BIG DIFFERENCE, ABOUT A MONTH.

>> IT WAS AN EYE OPENER.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE NEWCOMERS COMING IN.

IT IS SUCH A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD IN DENVER.

SCHOOL POPULATIONS ARE DWINDLING.

THEY WERE WELCOMING THE NEWCOMERS WOULD BOOST THEIR FUNDING.

THE CHALLENGE IS THEY ARE COST INVOLVED.

YOU GOT A LOT OF MORE ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE TEACHING TO DO.

YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH KIDS WHO NEED TO BE ACCLIMATED TO THE COUNTRY.

IT IS NOT GOING AWAY ANY TIME SOON.

BUT WE ARE LOOKING A $1 BILLION BOND ISSUE COMING FROM DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOL.

THAT WILL BE INTERESTING FOR THEM TO TRY TO SELL.

>> ERIC?

>> KUDOS TO AN UP COMING CIVIC LEADER WHO PINNED THAT ARTICLE FOR BOARD HAWK AND EXPOSED THIS IN TERMS COLORADO RATES AMONG STATES.

THERE ARE STATES THAT DON'T PUT THIS IN LAW AND LEAVE IT UP TO INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

THE STATES THAT BRING THIS COLORADO IS AT THE VERY BOTTOM.

FULL FUNDING, WHATEVER THAT MEANS TO SCHOOLS IS GOING TO BE A MOVING TARGET.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU NEVER GOING TO HAVE FULL ENOUGH FUNDING FOR SOME INTEREST PARTICULAR UNION INTERESTS AND OTHERS.

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE FULL FUNDING QUOTE ON QUOTE GIVEN THERE ARE OTHER PRIORITIES.

YOU HAVE TO FUND HIGHWAYS.

YOU CAN'T EXCLUSIVELY FUND EDUCATION AS TEMPTING AS THAT WOULD BE.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE THIS DEBATE ABOUT STUDENT CONTACT DAYS.

STUDENT IN SCHOOL DAYS DURING THE COURSE OF THIS PAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION WHERE THE FUNDING OF SCHOOLS RAMPED UP DEMOCRATICALLY.

WE WILL, YOU KNOW, GET TWO FULL FUNDING UNDER AMENDMENT 23 PROVISIONS.

WE ARE GOING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL DAYS IN THE YEAR.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A PACKET.

IT WILL BE HARD ENOUGH TO DO IT ON ITS OWN.

>> IT IS UP TO THE LEGISLATURE TO DO THAT?

>> I ASSUME INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS CAN GO ABOVE IT BECAUSE IT IS MINIMUM.

BUT, YES, TO THE EXTEND IT IS PART OF STATE LAW, ONLY THE LEGISLATURE OR VOTERS CAN CHANGE THAT.

>> CHRIS?

>> GOOD LUCK IF YOU CAN GET PARENTS ON BOARD.

ANY CHANGE TO THE CALENDAR IS A COMMUNITY OUTRANGE.

PARENTS LIKE TO HAVE THEIR SCHEDULE THE WAY IT IS, IT IS SET.

YOU ASK THE QUESTION IS MORE CONTACT TIME BETTER FOR STUDENTS.

SOME STUDIES SAY IT IS, THERE ARE STUDIES THAT NOT NECESSARILY SO.

IT DOES GIVE MORE INSTRUCTION TIME.

BETTER FOR PARENTS IF THEY ARE WORKING.

THERE IS DISAGREEMENT WHETHER IT IS BETTER FOR THE STUDENT.

THERE IS HIGHER COST EVERYONE AS MENTIONED.

IT DOESN'T LIMIT OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT STUDENTS DURING THE SUMMER.

>> THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT CAN'T AFFORD ACTIVITIES.

>> THAT IS TRUE.

IT IS NOT ADDITIONAL COST TO PARENTS.

>> THERE IS A SCHOOL THAT CONTINUED THIS WEEK JUST TO GIVE PARENTS WHO ARE WORKING MANY JOBS A KIND OF ONE MORE WEEK AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.

NOW IT IS TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF THIS WEEK.

WE ARE GOING TO START WITH THE LOWS AND HIGH NOTE.

WE START WITH PATTY.

>> WE MARKED THE ANNIVERSARY.

THE RAID ON ROCKY WAS 36 YEARS AGO.

WORKERS WHO WERE PROCESSING PLUTONIUM.

SOME OF THEM ARE STILL FIGHTING TO GET BENEFITS FOR HEALTH ISSUES.

JUST YESTERDAY, THERE WERE MORE LEGAL FIGHTING THERE IS CONTAMINATION SOUTH OF ROCKY PLATTE.

IT HASN'T BEEN PROVEN YET.

THIS IS THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

ROCKY NUCLEAR WEAPONS PLANT.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSULTED BEFORE DENVER DECIDE TO HOST THE CONVENTION.

SPEAKING OF ANNOYANCES.

WE CAN LEAVE DAVID WILLIAMS IN THAT DISCUSSION.

>> I GOT A PHONE CALL WHO WAS UPSET ABOUT A MAILER HE GOT.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS A REPUBLICAN GROUP THAT WAS TRYING TO PIT RON HANKS AGAINST JEFF HEARD IN THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

A DEMOCRAT GROUP TRYING TO PLAY IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS UPSET.

IF HE IS CONFUSED THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE CONFUSED.

>> I WANT TO UNDER SCORE THE ANTI-LGBT COMMUNITY.

YOUNG VOTERS NEED TO BE CATERED TO AT THIS TIME.

WE CANNOT BE TREATING PEOPLE THAT WAY.

>> NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING GOOD.

>> GOOD FOR VLADIMIR FOR THROWING OUT THAT ENDORSEMENT.

COME OUT TO FIVE POINTS ON SATURDAY.

IT IS THE JAZZ FESTIVAL.

THEY ARE WORKING ON THE STREET.

IT WILL BE MESSY BUT YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME.

>> QUICKLY TO ALVINA'S POINT.

IT IS NOT ONLY THE DAVID WILLIAMS ARE OUT OF STEP WHERE COLORADO IS AND THE PUBLIC IS.

THEY ARE OUT OF STEP WHERE THEIR OWN PARTY IS OR WHERE THEIR PARTY IS GOING.

MAKES IT MORE SHAMEFUL.

ALSO QUICKLY, PATTY MENTIONED IT, THE D-DAY ANNIVERSARY 80 YEARS AGO.

WE COULD ONLY HAVE SUCH UNIT AND SACRIFICE AND RAW PATRIOTISM THESE DAYS.

>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE WATER.

PARTICULARLY THE GUNNISON RIVER IS RUNNING 75% ON AVERAGE.

OTHER RIVERS THROUGHOUT COLORADO ARE FULL AND BRIMMING.

THE SECTION OF THE GUNNISON RIVER WAS SHUT DOWN FOR SAFETY REASONS.

WE HAD A COLD SPRING UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT EARLY SNOW MELT.

IT IS HAPPENING AT THE RIGHT TIME.

I'M HAPPY ABOUT WATER.

>> WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY?

>> COMING UP.

[ LAUGHTER ] >> SOMETHING POSITIVE.

>> SOMETHING POSITIVE.

WE ARE WRAPPING UP THE BILLS.

SO A LOT OF GROUPS WILL BE OUT CELEBRATING THE BIG CHANGES THAT WILL HAVE A DIFFERENCE MANY THE FUTURE OF COLORADO.

>> MY POSITIVE HAS TO DO WITH THE DENVER OF MUSEUM NATURE AND SCIENCE.

A NEW EXHIBIT THAT OPENS TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY.

THE COOLER ASPECT IS HOW THE MUSEUM GOT A HOLD OF THIS FOSSIL.

SOME BOYS OUT FOR A HIKE FOUND THIS BONE STICKS OUT OF THE ROCK.

THE EXCAVATION TOOK PLACE LAST SUMMER.

IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR THAT IT WAS A T-REX WHEN THEY SAW THE BIG TEETH.

IT WAS AROUND 13-15 YEARS OLD.

THE CURRENT AGES OF THE KIDS WHO FOUND IT.

CHECK OUT THAT EXHIBIT THIS SUMMER.

TRYING TO FREE THE FOSSIL FROM THE ROCK.

THANKS TO OURED INSIDERS FOR COMING THIS WEEK TO SHARE INSIGHT AND MAKE US SMARTER.

THANK YOU TO OUR TEAM WORKING SO HARD EVERY WEEK AS WELL.

WE APPRECIATE YOU TUNING IN EACH WEEK.
