>>> HI, EVERYONE.

WELCOME TO MARCH 4TH, 2022, EDITION OF "COLORADO INSIDE OUT."

I'M YOUR HOST DOMINIC DEZZUTTI.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

LOCAL CAUCUS MEETINGS FOR BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS BEGAN IN EARNEST THIS WEEK AS THE 2022 ELECTION BEGINS TO GET INTO GEAR.

IN ENDORSEMENT VIEWS, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN THE NEWLY CREATED 8th CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, YADIRA CARAVEO ANNOUNCED THAT SHE'S RECEIVED CONGRESSWOMAN DIANA DEGETTE'S ENDORSEMENT WHILE REPUBLICAN U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE ELY BREMER ANNOUNCED THE ENDORSEMENTS FROM FORMER GOP STATE LEGISLATIVE LEADERS.

PATTY CALHOUN FROM WESTWORD.

WE ARE STILL EARLY IN THE PROCESS.

IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE GETTING INTO GEAR.

DO YOU FEEL SOME OF THESE ENDORSEMENTS NEED SOME MOMENTUM FOR SOME OF THESE CANDIDATES?

>> IT IS HARD TO TELL RIGHT NOW.

YOU SEE IT WITH THE CAUCUSES WHICH SEEMS AR CAY YEK AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

BUT YOU HAVE PEOPLE HAVE A GOOD GROUND GAME.

THEY CAN GO OUT AND BE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THOSE CANDIDATES.

THEY CAN GET DELEGATES.

IT IS POSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE PUSHING FOR YOU, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET ON THAT PRIMARY BALLOT WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT OTHERS ARE SPENDING WHICH IS NOT EASY.

THAT DEADLINE IS COMING UP TOO.

SO AT A CERTAIN POINT WHO IS TALKING FOR YOU MAY SWAY PEOPLE MORE.

NOW IT IS YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR WHO MAY BE SWAYING YOU.

>> DAVID KOPEL FROM THE INDEPENDENCE INSTITUTE AND DU LAW SCHOOL.

THE VARIOUS CAUCUSES AND ASSEMBLIES IN THE PAST.

HOW THEY HAVE BEEN INFLUENTIAL IN THE PAST.

>> IT LEADS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL GO TO THEIR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ASSEMBLIES OR STATE ASSEMBLIES.

THAT PLAYS A HUGE ROLE WHO GETS ON THE BALLOT.

YOU DON'T MAKE THE BALLOT UNLESS YOU SEPARATELY TRY TO PETITION ON.

THE ENDORSEMENT I THINK WILL BE INFLUENTIAL.

DEGETTE WAS BEFORE BEING ELECTED TO CONGRESS SERVED IN THE COLORADO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

BOTH BODIES HAVE BEEN ELECTED BY HER PEERS.

SHE ENDORSED IN THE ONE CANDIDATE CARVEO.

IF I WERE VOTER UP THERE I WOULD TAKE THAT AS A SIGN DEGETTE WHO IS VERY EXPERIENCE HAS A GOOD SINCE WILL BE AN EFFECTIVE.

14 YEARS IN THE AIR FORCE HAS BEEN PICKING UP A LOT OF ENDORSEMENTS.

AND OTHERS WHO IS A FORMER ATHLETIC AND FORMER U.S.

SENATOR FROM COLORADO.

ALSO PICKING UP ENDORSEMENTS IN THAT PRIMARY HAS BEEN JENA CAPANA WHO IS A CITY COUNCILMAN.

SO THOSE SEEM TO BE COMING OUT OF THE TIME UNDER THE CREDIBILITY.

>> ERIC SONDERMANN LET'S STAY WITH THE ENDORSEMENT SIDE OF THINGS.

THE OLD DAYS ENDORSEMENT MIGHT MEAN FOLKS VOTING INFLUENCE BY A POLITICIAN SAID YOU WOULD GET THEIR VOTE.

IT SEEMS LIKE ENDORSEMENT IS A SIGN OF MOMENTUM.

WHAT DO YOU TAKE AWAY, WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR IN THESE PRIMARY RACES?

>> WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT JOE BIDEN THE STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH.

WE TALK ABOUT THE CRAZINESS IN DENVER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

WE NEED TO INNOVATE IN OUR CAUCUS, EXCUSE ME OUR CANDIDATE ELECTION PROCESS.

THE WAY WE DO THIS THROUGH CAUCUSES.

THESE CAUCUSES MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEY HAVE FOR A FEW YEARS.

AND ASSEMBLIES THAT COME OUT OF THE CAUCUS BECAUSE THE COST OF PETITIONS ON THE BALLOT HAS GOTTEN SO EXPENSIVE.

YOU HAVE FEWER CANDIDATES IN THE LAST SEVERAL CYCLES.

PAM ANDERSON IS DOING A PETITION TO AVOID WACKINESS.

I THINK IT IS A NINE PERSON FIELD.

YOU HAVE ONE CANDIDATE A DENVER BUSINESSMAN WHO IS PETITIONING ON.

BUT THE OTHER EIGHT ARE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

AS DAVID POINTED OUT YOU HAVE TO GET 30%.

YOU CAN ONLY CARVE 100% SO MANY WAYS TO GET 30.

A LOT OF THESE RACES WITH MULTI CANDIDATES, BOTH PARTIES FIELD YOU WILL HAVE A WHOLE LOT FEWER CANDIDATES A MONTH FROM NOW THAN YOU HAVE NOW.

A LOT OF THESE CANDIDATES WILL GO BY THE WAYSIDE.

>> IAN, IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU AGAIN.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.

AS WE LOOK AT THE CAUCUS IN PRIMARY SEASON NEITHER PARTY IS PARTICULARLY UNIFIED.

FOLKS ARE THE MORE EDGES OF THE PARTY.

BOTH WERE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING PART OF THESE CAUCUSES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT HAVE AS WE MIGHT SEE WIDE OPEN CON ACCEPTS?

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

POST PANDEMIC THERE IS SO MUCH CHANGE.

PEOPLE HAVE MANY OPINIONS.

I DO AGREE THAT THE PROCESS IS EASIEST.

I HONESTLY PREFER THAT.

I'VE GONE AND COLLECTED LOTS OF SIGNATURES IN THE STATE LEVEL AND THE LOCAL LEVEL.

THE CAUCUS DOES SEEM A LITTLE OUTDATED IF YOU ASK ME.

THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THIS HYBRID OR VIRTUALLY, THEY CHOSE NOT TO.

THIS NEW PATHWAY WE CREATED IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL TO HAVE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.

WE HAVE SEEN PUBLIC TURNOUT.

I HOPE IT CONTINUES TO BE PART OF THE THINKING FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.

>>> A SMALL GROUP OF COLORADO REPUBLICANS, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY, FILED A LAWSUIT THIS WEEK AGAINST THE STATE OF COLORADO TO DISALLOW UNAFFILIATED VOTERS FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN JUNE.

DAVID, WE START WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.

THE LEAD ATTORNEY IS JOHN EASTMAN.

HE HAS MADE HIS NAME KNOWN.

REALIZING IT IS A SMALL GROUP OF REPUBLICANS THAT ARE STILL BEING PUSHED AS A QUESTION.

SHOULD UNAFFILIATED VOTERS BE INVOLVED IN PRIMARIES EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY VOTER IN THE STATE.

DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BRING THE ARGUMENT TO ALL REPUBLICANS IN COLORADO EVEN THOUGH IT IS REPRESENTED BY A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE?

>> WELL, THE GROUP OF SEVERAL PLAINTIFFS WHICH INCLUDE SOME LOCAL PARTY CHAIRS.

SO EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT IN THE NAME OF THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY, IT IS AUTHORIZED BY THEM.

IN TERMS OF FIRST AMENDMENT LAW.

A POLITICAL PARTY IS A VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION AND MEMBERS OF THAT ASSOCIATION OUGHT TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHO THEIR CANDIDATE WILL BE.

YOU CAN MAKE A POLITICAL ARGUMENT.

BUT IT OUGHT TO BE UP TO THE CHOICE OF THE ORGANIZATION.

A STATE LAW SHOULD NOT FORCE VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS TO HAVE PEOPLE CHOOSE THEIR LEADERS WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION.

NOW AS YOU SAY, THE ATTORNEYS ARE RANDY WHO IS A LOCAL COLORADO ATTORNEY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN CASES.

AND JOHN EASTMAN 2019-2022 WAS A VERY WELL RESPECTED CONGRESSIONAL LITIGATE TORE AND SCHOLAR.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WILL AFFECT HOW THE JUDGE VIEWS THE CASE OR NOT.

>> IT IS ABOUT THE POWER OF UNAFFILIATED VOTERS.

THIS IS 40% IN COLORADO.

IT IS NOT INSIGNIFICANT.

YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE POINT ON BOTH SIDES.

THE FACT IT WAS A LAW PASSED NOT JUST BY LEGISLATURE.

THIS WAS PASSED BY VOTERS.

YOU ARE ARGUMENTING AGAINST THE VOTERS OF THE STATE.

DO YOU THINK IT WILL COME INTO PLAY?

>> THIS IS ABOUT TWO THINGS.

YOU MENTIONED IT IS ABOUT THE POWER AND UNAFFILIATED VOTERS.

IT IS ABOUT THE DEATH WISH OF SOME REPUBLICAN PARTY.

DAVID SORT OF PREVIEW I WAS GOING TO COME DOWN ON THIS.

YOU CANNOT GET MORE CLOSER CONNECTED TO THE FORMER PRESIDENT THAN JOHN EASTMAN.

YOU CONSIDER THE SOURCES HERE.

THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN IN A LOSING TRACK RECORD.

IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE IT A SMALLER MORE TRUMPY CLUB, GOOD LUCK TO THEM.

THIS IS A YEAR OF PROBABLY IN THE 18-YEAR PERIOD UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOR COLORADO REPUBLICANS DUE TO THE NATIONAL WAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE ANTICIPATE.

THIS WAS THE MEASURE TO ALLOW INDEPENDENCE TO PARTICIPATE IN EITHER PARTY'S PRIMARY.

IT WAS NOT A CLOSE PASSAGE.

IT WAS AN OVERWHELMING PASSAGE.

INDEPENDENCE WANT TO PARTICIPATE.

VOTERS OF ALL PARTIES VOTED TO LET INDEPENDENCE PARTICIPATE.

>> THERE IS CONSERVATIVES LIBERALS.

OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE IN THE CROSS HAIRS OF THIS LAWSUIT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN WITH THE APPROACH TO UNAFFILIATED VOTERS AFTER WE SEE THE DETAILS OF LAWSUITS?

>> I THINK IF IT IS SUCCESSFUL THERE WILL BE A LOT OF VOTERS DISAPPOINTED.

I DO KNOW WHEN I LOOK BACK ON THESE PERCENTAGES THEY ARE HIGH.

I HAD SO MANY FRIENDS.

I SPEND SO MANY TIMES WANTING TO WORK IN THIS.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK IS DISHEARTENING.

TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THE MEDIA TO KEEP THE LIMELIGHT.

I THINK TO GET AWAY FROM THE CONVERSATION THAT THEY ARE HAVING ABOUT THEIR JANUARY 6TH.

AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY.

IT IS EASIER TO KEEP GOING.

I WISH THEY WOULD SIT DOWN AND FOCUS ON WHAT THE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.

WITH AIR QUALITY, WATER QUARTER, IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY FOCUS ON THOSE ISSUES AND BRING THOSE MEASURES TO ME AND OTHER IN COLORADO.

>> I'M NOT SURE THEY WOULD AGREE WITH YOU.

THE MORE THEY TALK ABOUT OTHER ISSUES AND NOT OTHER THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT.

BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT.

AS A VOTER I GET THAT.

>> PATTY, THIS IS ABOUT A PRETTY UNPOPULAR THING.

DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE DEFENSIVE.

HOW DO YOU THINK IT WILL GO DOWN?

>> IT IS NOT LIKE THEY THINK THEY LIKE TO BE INDEPENDENT.

THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MAJOR PARTIES.

WHY SHOULD THESE TWO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES GET ALL THE ATTENTION IN THE PRIMARY?

WHY SHOULD THE STATE BE PAYING A LOT OF THIS?

IT IS A DISSATISFACTION BUT THE MAJOR PARTIES WHO SEEM TO HAVE SUCH A LOCK YOU WILL NEVER HAVE INDEPENDENT OR THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE.

I THINK PEOPLE ARE ON UNAFFILIATED.

THEY DON'T WANT TO DECLARE.

THEY ARE UPSET WITH THE MAJOR PARTIES.

THEY WILL BE UPSET WITH THIS.

I'M ASSUMING IT WILL NOT WORK IN THIS COURSE THAN WHEN HE TRIED TO PERSUADE MIKE PENCE.

I THINK THEY ARE UPSET WITH THOSE MAJOR PARTIES NOW.

>>> THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ANNOUNCED THAT IT IS CONSIDERING TWO FINALISTS FOR ITS OPEN SUPERINTENDENT POSITION.

ERIN KANE AND DANNY WINSOR.

KANE WAS THE INTERIM SUPERINTENDENT THE LAST TIME CONSERVATIVES HELD A MAJORITY ON THE BOARD FROM 2016 TO 2018.

ERIC WE START WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.

THIS PROCESS OF FINDING A SUPERINTENDENT HAS GONE FASTER THAN CHICK-FIL-A.

IT IS PRETTY DARN FAST.

IS THAT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM?

>> I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR.

I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE DOUGLAS COUNTY BOARD IS IN ITSZ RIGHT TO HAVE A SUPERINTENDENT WHO ALIGNS WITH THEM FILL -- PHILOSOPHICALLY.

THEY ARE RIGHT ON THAT.

THEY HAVE BEEN DEAD WRONG IN THE TERMS OF THE PROCESS.

THERE NEEDS TO BE OPENNESS, MORE TRANSPARENCY.

THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COME MARINE BASE WITH OPEN MEETING LAWS AND SUNSHINE LAWS AND ALL THE REST.

HAVING SENT THAT SUPERINTENDENT PACKING WHICH IS THEIR ABILITY TO DO.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MORE DELIBERATE AND SOMEWHAT OPEN PROCESS COMMUNITY INPUT INTO HIRING THE SUPERINTENDENT.

IT IS PRESUMABLY SET UP FROM THE GET GO.

IF THEY WANT TO APPOINT ERIN KANE WHO IS AN ESTABLISH WOMAN THAT IS WITHIN THEIR RIGHT.

GOVERNANCE INVOLVES OPTICS AND PROCESS.

THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO TAKE A BREATH AND SLOW DOWN.

>> ONE OF THE FEW ISSUES THAT UNIT THIS BOARD IS THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF STABILITY.

WILL IT ADD STABILITY OR INSTABILITY FOR DOUGLAS COUNTY?

>> I CAN'T SAY HOW WELL THIS WILL GO.

I WOULD AGREE.

THIS IS ONE OF THE FASTEST PROCESS EVER SEEN.

I WOULD SAY YOUR JOKE WAS PRETTY FUNNY ABOUT CHICK-FIL-A.

TRYING TO PUSH TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE INTERVIEWING, TO PUT THEM IN TOWN HALLS, TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE.

IF I HAD MY PICK.

THEY ARE BOTH QUALIFIED.

WHEN THERE IS A TEACHER THERE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING A SCHOOL.

I WOULD SAY THE MONEY IS THERE.

THERE IS MORE PROBLEMS IN THE END.

WHEN THEY FIRED HIM THEY DIDN'T ALLOWED PUBLIC EITHER.

I THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE.

>> CAN EITHER OF THESE CANDIDATES ONCE ONE OF THEM IS NAMED AS SUPERINTENDENT BRING STABILITY?

>> NO.

I THINK THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE.

COMPANY WAS SUGGESTED SHE WAS GOING.

HOW HE WAS LET GO AND LAWSUITS THAT ARE COMING FROM THAT NOW.

EVEN IF THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT IS IN PLACE QUICKLY YOU WILL HAVE LAWSUITS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO COME UP.

YOU WILL HAVE SOME BOARD MEMBERS SUBPOENA THROUGH ALL THIS.

IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A GREAT ELECTION IN CIVICS FOR THE STUDENTS.

IT WILL BE FUN FOR US WATCHING.

>> THERE IS A LOT OF CHICK-FIL-A THAT PATRONIZE DOUGLAS COUNTY.

WHETHER IT WAS THIS PARTICULAR BOARD OR OTHER BOARDS IN THE PAST, WILL THIS PROCESS GAINING SUPERINTENDENT IN THEIR ABILITY TO CONTINUE THAT, I GUESS, INFLUENCE THIS COUNTY HAS HAD IN THE PAST?

>> FOLKS WHO WANT TO FOLLOW THIS, MARCH 10TH IS THE NEXT BIG MEETING.

IF YOU WANT TO WATCH ALL THE FUN YOURSELF AFTER YOU PICK UP YOUR CHICK-FIL-A YOU CAN HAVE A GREAT TIME ON THE EVE OF NEXT WEEK'S CIO SHOW.

I THINK WE ALL AGREE.

THEY HAVE TWO VERY WELL QUALIFIED CANDIDATES.

ERIN KANE SERVED IN THIS POSITION FOR TWO YEARS.

WHAT I HEARD SO FAR DID A GOOD JOB.

THERE WAS POLITICAL CONTENTION BEFORE SHE CAME IN.

EVEN THE SUPERINTENDENT IS RESPONSIBLE TO THE BOARD.

SUPERINTENDENT MOST OF HIS OR HER TIME MANAGING THE DISTRICT ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.

THE OPTIMISTIC THING THE BOARD VOTED 7-0 TO ADVANCE THESE TWO CANDIDATES.

>>> BOULDER COUNTY IS STRUGGLE TO MAKE PROGRESS ON THE CLEAN UP FROM THE MARSHALL WILDFIRE.

WHILE COUNTY OFFICIALS HAVE NAMED A COMPANY TO HANDLE THE CLEAN UP, A FINAL AGREEMENT HAS YET TO BE SIGNED AND THERE IS PENDING LAWSUITS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE BIDDING PROCESS.

MEANWHILE, BOTH LOUISVILLE AND SUPERIOR MOVED TO MAKE RECENTLY PASSED GREEN BUILDING CODES AS OPTIONAL FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO DECIDE TO REBUILD.

IAN WITH START WITH YOU ON THIS ONE.

WHETHER IT BE BUILDING CODES, JUST HOW THIS BIDDING PROCESS CAN GO.

IT SEEMS SPEED IS IMPORTANT HERE.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDER AS WE LOOK AT THESE ISSUES UP IN BOULDER COUNTY.

>> I FOUND THIS STORY TO BE FASCINATING PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY.

I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE QUESTIONING HOW GOVERNMENT FUNDS ARE BEING SPENDED WHEN SO MUCH RESOURCES ARE COMING.

WE SAW THAT WITH THE STATE OF THE UNION.

I THINK THE THING THAT RAISED MY EYEBROWS ONE OF THE PERSON WAS FROM FEMA.

I THINK THOSE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS.

AS FAR AS THE CODES GO.

THERE IS A LOT OF RECOURSES AVAILABLE TO THEM.

THERE IS A LOT OF FINANCIAL LITERACY THAT HELPS PEOPLE ADVANTAGE THEIR COAL.

THEY ARE GOING TO CUT OUT FIRE SPRINKLERS.

THE NEW CODE IS AN IMPORTANT THING.

I KNOW THAT THE STATE OF COLORADO GAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS WHAT IT WOULD COST.

THE CHANGE OF NUMBERS TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY TO $5,000.

I THINK THOSE NUMBERS IN FINANCIAL LITERACY.

>> PATTY, ARE YOU SURPRISED AS THE LACK OF PROCESS.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DON'T GET THE DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD UP THERE.

ALL THOSE HOUSES SHOULD BE REBUILT BY NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, ANY TIME MICHAEL BROWN COMES OUT AGAIN.

YOU KNOW, HE KNOWS -- HE MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD A GOOD TIME BACK THEN WITH GEORGE BUSH.

HE KNOWS HOW DISASTERS CAN IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO DO IT RIGHT.

PEOPLE HAVE RECUSED THEMSELVES BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TENS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DONATED BY PEOPLE.

WHERE IS THAT MONEY GOING?

THIS IS NOT GOING TO CLEAN UP QUICKLY BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.

>> YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH ITS OFFICIAL.

WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN?

>> WELL, POINT NUMBER ONE ON FINAL LITERACY IS THE CRONY CAPITALIST.

ONE EXAMPLE WHERE THEY STOOD ASIZE ON RAISING THE CIGARETTE TASK TO JUST THE PRICE TO CUT OUT ALL OF THE GENERIC COMPETITORS.

XCEL THE GREATEST EXTRACTOR OF MONEY.

THE SUPERIOR BOARD WOULD BE TO FORCE STREAM STANDARDS ON ALL REBUILD WHICH INSURANCE WOULDN'T PLAY FOR.

IT REPLACES THE ONE YOU HAD.

THINGS LIKE EVERYBODY HAS TO HAVE SOLAR.

EVERY GARAGE HAS TO HAVE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION.

THE EXCOST ARE UP TO 100,000.

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET PERMISSION FROM THE LEGISLATURE AND GIVE YOU 7,500.

>> MAYBE THERE IS THAT OPPORTUNITY.

AT A MINIMUM WE SHOULDN'T MAKE IT TO REBUILD.

AT A MINIMUM WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE DONATING TO A COMMUNITY FUND THAT WILL DIRECTLY BENEFITTING THE VICTIMS OF THIS DISASTER THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY SHOULD BE GOING.

>> TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE SHOW.

>> THE MEAN GIRLS INCLUDING CONGRESSWOMAN LAUREN MISBEHAVING BADLY.

>> WAR IS NOT HEALTHY FOR CHILDREN OR ANY LIVE THING.

THAT INVASION WAS PAID FOR AND FINANCED BECAUSE OF THE IRRATIONAL SHORT SIDED APPROACH THAT HAS BEEN FORCED ON THE WEST BY ENVIRONMENTAL EXTREATMENTIST AND NOT ALLOW US TO USE NUCLEAR POWER WHICH IS GREEN UP AND DOWN THE LINE.

>> ERIC?

>> I'M GOING TO THE SAME PLACE DAVID DID ON THE WAR.

MUCH OF THE WORLD HAS NOT SEEN SINCE WORLD WAR II.

THIS IS SERIOUS.

THIS IS TRAGIC.

A PARTICULAR DISGRACE TO PEOPLE IN THE U.S. FORTUNATELY THEY ARE A SMALL MINORITY WHO ARE FINDING WAYS TO EQUIVOCATE HERE.

ARE FINDING WAYS TO RATIONALIZED PUTINS BEHAVIOR.

>> WE GO TO YOUR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

>> MINE WAS THE PARLIAMENT REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

NO NOT LEARN FROM THE LESSONS OF DENVER.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHELTERS.

WE KNOW THIS SYSTEM ISN'T WORKING.

>> TIME TO SAY SOMETHING NICE.

PATTY?

>> THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT ALL THE PUBLIC MEETINGS WE HAVE ACCESS TO REMOTELY.

>> ADVANCE COLORADO BRINGING A FEDERAL CASE AGAINST COLORADO CASE -- REGULAR CANDIDATES CAN'T RAISE MONEY IN THE NORMAL WAY IT GIVES ADVANTAGE TO THE MILLIONAIRES.

>> ERIC?

>> TO LAUREN BOEBERT SHE BROUGHT NEW MEANING TO MULTI TASKING.

SHE WAS ABLE TO TWEET.

MULTIPLE TWEETS A MINUTE.

SHE FOUND TIME TO HECKLE THE PRESIDENT.

THAT IS A RARE ACCOMPLISHMENT.

>> IAN SAY SOMETHING NICE.

>> I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE SENATORS OF COLORADO FOR SENDING LETTERS AND MOVING POLICIES TO GET THIS PROBLEM TOGETHER AS THE INTERNATIONAL PANEL OF CLIMATE CHANGE SAY HOW MUCH WORK WE HAD TO DO.

WE ARE SEEING LEADERSHIP FROM COLORADO PUSHING PEOPLE TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE THIS IS THE WORSE POSSIBLE DROUGHT.

>> I'LL GIVE A QUICK SHOUTOUT.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR UP TO DATE NEWS HERE ON PBS12.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

FOR EVERYBODY HERE ON PBS12 I'M DOMINIC DEZZUTTI.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.

GOOD NIGHT.
