>>> HELLO, I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, MAY 24TH.

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

WELCOME TO PATTY CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTORD.

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

ALAYNA ALVAREZ, REPORTER AT AXIOS DENVER.

SAGE NAUMANN, COLUMNIST, COMMENTATOR AND STRATEGIST AND OWNER OF ANTHEM COMMUNICATIONS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS WEEK.

GOVERNOR POLIS IS BUSY THESE DAYS GOING THROUGH ALL THE BILLS PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE.

AND HE DOESN'T LIKE ALL OF THEM, EVEN SOME OF THE BILLS THAT WERE SPONSORED BY FELLOW DEMOCRATS.

GOING INTO LAST WEEK GOVERNOR VETO SIX BILLS.

IT IS STILL THE TALK AROUND TOWN THIS WEEK ESPECIALLY AMONG DEMOCRATS.

>> YESTERDAY THERE WAS A GATHERING TO PROTEST TWO OF HIS VETOES WHICH WERE WORK RELATED BILLS.

WE HAD 705 BILLS INTRODUCED LAST SESSION.

OVER 500 PASSED.

IT IS NOT A HUGE SURPRISE THAT SOME OF THEM MIGHT HAVE FLAWS.

ESPECIALLY THE ONE THAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH AT THE END.

IN HIS VETO, GOVERNOR POLIS WAS FAIRLY EXPENSIVE SAYING WHY CERTAIN ONES WERE VETOED.

ONE OF THESE BILLS INVOLVED IF YOU WERE FORCED TO GO TO MEETINGS IF THEY DEAL WITH RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL ISSUES.

THE WORDING WAS VAGUE ENOUGH THAT IT MADE SENSE FOR THEM TO BE VETOED.

THERE WAS ONE HOWEVER WHICH IS WAGE THEFT WHICH IS A BIG CONCERN IN DENVER.

WE ARE DEALING WITH IT IN URBAN PEAK.

I THINK THEY WERE MOVING TOO FAST TOWARDS THE END.

LET'S HOPE THEY COME UP WITH A SOLUTION.

PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE PAID FOR THE WORK THEY DO.

>> ERIC?

>> I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY ARGUMENT.

THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS.

THE DETAILS DIDN'T ADD UP HERE.

PRAISING THE GOVERNOR, THANK GOD SOMEONE KNOWS THERE IS A BRAKE PEDAL.

OUT OF THE HUNDREDS OF BILLS THAT PATTY REFERENCED, HE HIT THE BRAKE ON SIX OF THEM.

A LOT OF THESE BILLS HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS.

I DON'T THINK HIS ARGUMENT IS WITH THE INTENTION, IT IS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION WHETHER THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT OBJECTIVE.

>> SOMETHING I FOUND INTERESTING HOW NOT VERY WELL THESE VETOES ARE SITTING WITH THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS.

I LEARNED FROM THE DENVER POST REPORTING THAT 18 OF THE 22 LAWMAKERS SPONSORING WERE WOMEN.

TWO OF THE BILLS THAT WERE VETOED WERE CONSIDERED THEIR PRIORITY BILLS.

THE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN'S CAUCUS IS UPSET THEIR PRIORITIES AREN'T ALIGNING WITH POLIS.

IT IS NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE LEGISLATION.

IT IS NOT THAT THEY ARE WOMEN.

IT IS THE DETAILS OF THESE POLICIES AND HOW IT WILL SHAKE OUT ACROSS THE STATE.

ONE THING WAS A LAW THAT PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM HARM FROM THE ARTIFICIAL AGENCY.

IT IS THE FIRST OF THE KIND IN THE COUNTRY.

THE FACT WHO POLIS IS.

HE IS A LIBERTARIAN MULTI MILLIONAIRE WHO IS TECH SAVVY.

HE HAD CONCERNS WITH THE BILL IT COULD HINDER INNOVATION THAT IS DOING A LOT OF GOOD FOR THE WORLD.

>> HE MADE IT CLEAR HE WAS RELUCTANTLY SIGNING IT.

SAGE?

>> FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS HOW THIS WORKS WITH THE PERSONALITIES, THESE ARE THE BILLS THAT MADE IT THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE.

THEY WEREN'T KILLED IN THE CALENDAR BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR WAS BACK CHANNELLING IT.

WE DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS.

THIS DIVISION WE ARE SEEING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS GOING TO BE MORE PRONOUNCED.

THIS PRIMARY ELECTION IS GOING TO BE SUBSTANTIAL FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THIS ELECTION IS GOING TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION THE STATE GOES.

THE ONE AFTER THIS ELECTION WILL BE INTERESTING.

BUT THIS IS THE DIVISION THAT WE ARE SEEING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS HAD FOR A LONG TIME ON DIFFERENT GROUNDS.

BUT NOW THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS GOING THROUGH IT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE, I GUESS, MODERATES NOW.

AS WAS MENTIONED JARED POLIS IS NOT A MODERATE.

HE IS QUITE PROGRESSIVE.

CAN THEY MAINTAIN CONTROL.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE RIFF BETWEEN THEM.

>> FOR YEARS I WAITED FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO HIT BOTTOM.

WITH ANY ADDICT YOU HAVE TO HIT BOTTOM BEFORE YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO GETTING WELL AND HEALTHY.

I THOUGHT 2018 THAT HAD TO BE BOTTOM.

NO.

THAT WASN'T BOTTOM.

THERE WAS 2020 AND 2022.

DONALD TRUMP LOSES THIS STATE BY 14 POINTS IN 2020.

COREY GARDNER LOSES BY 29.

YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE ENDORSEMENT THE STATE PARTY HAS MADE A GUY NAMED YOSHI.

HE CARPET BAGGED INTO ADAMS COUNTY.

THEY ENDORSED HIM WITH EMPHASIS ON DOCTOR.

HIS MEDICAL LICENSE WAS REVOKED.

RON HANKS WHEN HE IS NOT BLOWING UP COPIERS IS A CANDIDATE ON THE WESTERN SLOPE.

YOU HAVE BOEBERT, HER GAMBIT MOVING ACROSS THE STATE.

IF YOU HAD ONE CANDIDATE AGAINST BOEBERT THEY CAN BEAT HER.

>> ALL OF IT COMING OUT OF THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY ARE FUELLING THE FUND-RAISING GAME FOR DEMOCRATS IN A RECENT EMAIL.

THEY HAVE ENJOYED THE SHOW FROM THE GOP BUT THEY CAN'T PRETEND TO BE SURPRISED AT THIS POINT ANYMORE.

THE GOP THEATER CONTINUES.

THIS WEEK THEIR LATEST ACT WAS SENDING OUT AN EMAIL -- FUND-RAISING EMAIL CALLING ON PARENTS TO PULL THEIR KIDS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO TURN THEIR KIDS TRANS.

THIS WOULD REQUIRE TEACHERS TO CALL STUDENTS BY THEIR PREFERRED PRONOUNS.

IF THE GOP CONTINUES TO CARRY ON WITH THIS MESSAGING, WITH THESE STRATEGIES IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL THEM.

IF THEY KEEP DAVE WILLIAMS AT THE TOP.

>> TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS, SAGE.

>> THE STATE PARTY IS ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED TO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM.

YOU LOOK AT THE MAYOR AND HIS APPROVAL RATINGS IN DENVER.

YOU LOOK AT AFFORDABILITY AND BUSY FRIENDLINESS THEY ARE NOT GOOD.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THE RULES HAVE CHANGED.

YOU LOOK IN AND SAY WHAT DID WE DO WRONG?

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH OUR MESSAGING?

WHAT WAS TURNING OFF VOTERS?

WHAT THE PARTY HAS DONE, WE DIDN'T LOSE.

WE DIDN'T LOSE ANYTHING.

WE ACTUALLY ONE.

THERE WAS NO MOMENT OF LEARNING.

UNTIL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RECOGNIZES IT IS LOSING IT WILL NOT TURN AROUND.

IT IS THE PARTY THAT I BELIEVE -- IT HAS ABANDON CONSERVATIVISM AND PICKED SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS TERRIBLE.

>> PATTY?

>> YOU GOT RON HANKS WHICH THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE A WINNER FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

I'M NOT SURE THE ENDORSEMENT WILL MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

TRUE REPUBLICANS, LET'S ASSUME THAT THE PEOPLE IN POWER IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DON'T SPEAK FOR EVERYONE.

I THINK JEFF HERD STILL HAS A CHANCE.

IN THE EIGHTH SEED GETTING ENDORSED IS NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE.

NOT SMART POLITICS.

NOT THE KIND OF PEOPLE WE WANT REPRESENTING US IN WASHINGTON.

EVEN IF THEY HAVE DIFFERENT POLITICAL VIEWPOINTS.

WE WANT SOMEONE THAT MAKES SENSE.

>> AS SAGE WAS REFERRING TO.

A POLL HAS FOUND APPROVAL RATINGS HAVE DROPPED.

DENVER ARE SOURING ON THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

IT WAS REPORTED BY MY COLLEAGUE.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE EVER POLL WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

IT SURVEYED ABOUT 1600 GENERAL ELECTION VOTERS.

WE SAW AN APPROVAL RATING ABOUT 43%.

A DISAPPROVAL RATING OF 50%.

IT WAS LOWER FOR COUNCIL AT ABOUT 36%.

WHAT VOTERS ARE GENERALLY SAYING THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PRIORITIES OF THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS CARRIED OUT SO FAR.

THEY ARE CONCERNED THE WAY HIS ADMINISTRATION HAS SPENT MONEY TO THE MIGRANT CRISIS, HOMELESS, CRIME.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR NEW LEADERSHIP AND FRESH IDEAS.

NOW THAT PART IS WHERE I RAISE AN EYEBROW A LITTLE BIT.

IT FEELS LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY MAYOR JOHNSTON IS INTRODUCING A NEW PROGRAM.

HE ANNOUNCED A NEIGHBORHOOD -- AN OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT HERE.

HE ANNOUNCED A NEW WORK PROGRAM FOR TEENS TO KEEP THEM BUSY AND SAFE THIS SUMMER.

THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SAFETY PROGRAM AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.

IT BEGS THE QUESTION HOW ENGAGED VOTERS REALLY ARE.

ARE THEY PAYING ATTENTION?

DO THEY SEE JOHNSTON THE HANCOCK AREA.

>> SAGE?

>> I SEE IT INTERESTING THE MONEY GOING TOWARDS THIS MIGRANT CRISIS.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHEN PEOPLE HAVE THESE CONCERNS IT IS NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE THAT MIGRANTS SHOULD BE TREATED WITH RESPECT.

WE SHOULD BE ALLOWING THEM TO STAY IN THE COUNTRY.

IT IS A QUESTION WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES.

ALL OF THESE ISSUES SEEM TO GET PUSHED TO THE SIDE TO DEAL WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS.

IT IS THE BUDGET CRISIS WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW.

IT IS A BIG PART OF IT.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND, IF WE ARE SEEING THAT IN DENVER, YOU ARE SEEING IT IN NEW YORK CITY, PLACES THAT ARE FAR AWAY FROM THE BORDER.

THIS CAN HAVE AN EFFECT ON ELECTIONS.

IT IS HARD TO SAY HARD MUCH.

YOU GET DEMOCRATS WE GOT TO CRACK DOWN ON THIS.

YOU START TO SEE THAT TO HAVE AN EFFECT.

WE WILL SEE IF IT CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE.

IT SEEMS LIKE CITY LIKE DENVER WILL TAKE THE BRUNT OF IT.

IT WILL BE ON THE TAXPAYER'S DIME.

>> PATTY?

>> CONDOLENCES TO MAJOR BECAUSE HE LOST HIS MOM LAST WEEK.

I'M SURE THIS WAS A RELATIVELY EASY BLOW WEATHER.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMMENTS THAT ARE POSTED ABOUT IMMIGRATION, ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN DENVER, THE NARRATIVE ISN'T GREAT.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO REALLY LOVE THIS CITY.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE STILL LOVE THIS CITY.

THEY WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER.

THEY ARE TORN ON THE IMMIGRATION.

RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT SEEING THEIR COMPOSTING.

THE IRONY IN THIS POLL WAS THAT CITY COUNCIL CAME OUT MUCH LOWER THAN MAYOR JOHNSTON.

>> I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING AND SPENDING TIME WITH HIS MOM SALLY ON A FEW OCCASIONS.

DEFINITELY A LOSS.

THE NUMBER IN THE POLL IS NOT THE RATINGS OF THE MAYOR OR CITY COUNCIL.

IT WAS RIGHT DIRECTION, WRONG TRACK NUMBER.

WITH A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF DENVER INDICATING THE CITY WAS ON THE WRONG TRACK.

THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL MINDED TOWN.

THEY ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT HOMELESS SERVICE, MIGRANT SERVICES.

IT COMES WITH A BIG BUT.

WHETHER THE PARKS ARE MOWED, THE REC CENTERS ARE OPEN, YOU CAN RUN THE LIST OF BASIC CITY SERVICES THAT PEOPLE WANT AND EXPECT.

IF THOSE SERVICES ARE BEING MET, FINE LET'S INVEST ALL THIS OTHER MONEY.

IN THIS CASE WE ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF MANY OF THOSE SERVICES.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ELECTION YEAR UPON US.

THIS IS YEAR PEOPLE ARE VOTING ON EMOTIONS.

A POLL FOUND ALL COLORADO VOTERS NOT JUST PEOPLE IN DENVER ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF OUR ENTIRE STATE.

SAGE THERE ARE GOING TO BE SO MANY ISSUES, INCLUDING SOCIAL ISSUES IN NOVEMBER AND RIGHT NOW ALL THE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET THE SIGNATURES AND MAKE SURE IT IS ON THE BALLOT FOR CONSIDERATION.

>> THIS ELECTION IS GOING TO BE CRAZY.

FROM THE PRESIDENT ON DOWN IT IS GOING TO BE EMOTIONAL.

YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF DONALD TRUMP HAPPENS AGAIN.

YOU CAN IMAGINE IF HE LOSES AGAIN WITH HIS SUPPORTERS.

WILL WE SEE ANOTHER JANUARY 6TH?

I HOPE NOT.

KNOCK ON WOOD.

ON BALLOT MEASURES WE COULD SEE WE HAVE ABORTION, WE HAVE TAXES, WE HAVE CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT ISSUES.

I'M INTERESTED TO SEE HOW MUCH IS OVERSHADOWED.

THE NEWS CYCLE CAN TELL YOU THERE IS NOT ENOUGH REPORTERS TO TELL YOU WHAT GOES ON.

CONSUME AIR WAVES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

A LOT OF IT WILL BE ON RHETORIC AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

I THINK IT WILL BE FASCINATING HOW MUCH THEY ARE TALKED ABOUT AS WE GET INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

WHEN THEY GET THEIR BALLOT THEY WILL BE FORCED TO.

HOW MUCH OF THE NEW STORIES ARE GOING TO BE COVERING PROPERTY TAXES IN OCTOBER, I DON'T KNOW.

WE WILL SEE.

I WANT TO SEE HOW MANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL GET SHOVED.

>> WE WILL MENTION THEM HERE.

THAT BALLOT IS GOING TO BE LONG.

>> COLORADO IS ONE OF THE LIBERAL STATES FOR ALLOWING CITIZENS TO PUT INITIATIVES ON THE BALLOT.

MANY OF THOSE ARE CONSERVATIVE.

COLORADO LET'S THEM WEIGH IN TOO.

THE CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE THEY LET PEOPLE ON HOW THEY FELT ABOUT CITIZEN INITIATIVES.

NOT SURPRISINGLY NOT MANY PEOPLE LIKED THEM.

THERE WAS A STATEWIDE POLL WHERE THE STATE SAYS WE LIKE THIS.

COLORADOANS LIKE TO WEIGH IN.

THE CHALLENGE IS HOW DO YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THESE BALLOT MEASURES.

THE MEASURES ARE NOT AS EASY TO DISCUSS.

BUT EVERY VOTER SHOULD BE PREPARED TO REALLY STUDY SO THAT IF THERE IS A BACKLASH THEY KNOW THEY CONSIDERED THE ISSUES.

THEY ARE GOING TO BE AT LEAST A DOZEN TRICKY ISSUES ON THIS BALLOT.

>> ERIC?

>> I DON'T HAVE A TON NEW TO ADD.

IT IS PART OF THE FRONTIER MENTALITY.

COLORADO BEING A FRONTIER STATE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RIGHT OF CITIZENS INITIATIVES THAT IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO WESTERN STATES.

IT IS PROMPT GNAT IN THE WESTERN STATES THAN IT IS ELSEWHERE.

SOME OF THE ELITES HERE, I CAN IMAGINE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DON'T THINK KINDLY OF THE PRACTICE.

THE VOTERS OF THE STATE LIKE THAT.

THE BLUE BOOK IS VERY IMPORTANT.

IT WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR VOTERS NOT JUST TUNE INTO TV ADS BUT TUNE IN TO OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND GET IT RIGHT.

>> ONE OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE ABOUT ABORTION IN THE STATE'S CONSTITUTION.

HOW A STORY THAT IS EXPECTED TO TURN OUT THE LATINO VOTE.

SO WE HEARD THAT, YOU KNOW, PROTECTING ACCESS TO ABORTION IS A TOP ISSUE FOR LATINOS, CLIMATE CHANGE, INFLATION AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

WE SAW IT IN 2022 IN THE RACE WHO WAS ELECTED AS THE FIRST LATINA FROM COLORADO TO WIN A SEAT IN CONGRESS IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE LATINO VOTING.

SHE IS RUNNING FOR REELECTION AGAIN.

I WILL BE CURIOUS TO SEE IF THEY HELP HER KEEP HER POSITION.

>> LET'S GO DOWN THE ROW.

WE WILL TALK ABOUT HIGHS AND LOWS OF THE WEEK.

THERE WERE MANY ON EACH SIDE.

AND SOMETHING THAT WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT.

>> I THINK IT IS GOOD THAT THE GOVERNOR DID TAKE ACTION, WAS WILLING TO SAY NO TO SOME BILLS.

I WISH HE HAD EXTENDED PUTTING ON THE BRAKES TO THE EPA AIR ISSUE WHICH IS WHY WE WILL SEE GAS INCREASE SO MUCH MORE AT THE PUMP.

>> $0.50 MAYBE UP TO A DOLLAR.

>> DITTO THAT.

I THINK THE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES COULD BE INTERESTING TO FOLLOW.

TO DONALD TRUMP'S SOCIAL MEDIA FEED UNIFIED RIGHT REFERRING TO THE THIRD.

WHETHER THE FORMER PRESIDENT POSTED THAT HIMSELF.

WHAT KIND OF ROGUE STAFFER WOULD ATTRACTED TO WORK FOR DONALD TRUMP.

WHY WOULD THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAVE A PERSON IN HIS CONTINGENT ANYWAY.

>> I WROTE A STORY ABOUT ROAD RAGE.

THE DATA STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS.

IN 2014 THE RATE PER MILLION PEOPLE WAS .19 AND HAS RISEN TO 1.9.

WE SEE THE TRAFFIC FATALITIES GO UP AND UP.

>> THAT IS DISTURBING.

IT PUTS INTO PERSPECTIVE ANGRY DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

THERE WAS A STORY THAT CAME OUT YESTERDAY.

SAMUEL THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HAS BEEN UNDER FIRE, HIM OR HIS WIFE PUT THE AMERICAN FLAG UPSIDE-DOWN.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED ON THIS NATIONAL REPORTING.

CNN STARTED BY A FLAG THAT WAS DISPLAYED ON THE U.S. CAPITOL YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT IS GOING WITH THAT.

I'M A BIG HISTORY BUFF.

THIS FLAG IS PART OF THE AMERICAN HISTORY.

IT WAS COMMISSIONED BY GEORGE WASHINGTON.

NO WAS CAN DISPLAY THEM FROM BEFORE BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO WERE ON JANUARY 6TH DID.

THE AMERICAN FLAG WAS USED BY THEM TOO.

WE DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY IT CAN'T BE FLOWN.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING POSITIVE.

>> THIS MEMORIAL DAY IT IS A GREAT DAY TO LOOK AT THE CEMETERY.

THERE IS HOPE THAT IT IS A NEW WAY OF RUNNING CEMETERIES WITHOUT USING TOO MUCH WATER.

OUR REPORTER WENT OUT WORRIED ABOUT IT AND CAME BACK HOPEFUL.

>> GOOD.

THAT IS A FASCINATING CEMETERY.

>> IT IS A BEAUTIFUL OPEN SPACE NORTH FROM HERE.

>> THE NUGGETS OR AVALANCHE DIDN'T END.

IT WAS A GOOD RUN.

A YEAR AGO, THAT'S NOT TO BE REPEATED THIS YEAR.

THEY DID ACQUIT THEMSELVES VERY WELL AND PROVIDED GOOD ENTERTAINMENT AND NOW IT IS TO WATCH THE ROCKIES.

>> ERIC.

>> IN THE DU LACROSSE THEY ARE -- >> OF COURSE, FINAL FOUR.

>> I'M AN ANIMAL LOVER.

THE DENVER ZOO HAS A NEW HABITAT.

YOU CAN WALK ALONGSIDE SPECIES FROM AUSTRALIA.

SO I WILL BE GOING TO SEE THAT.

>> THE KANGAROOS.

>> YES.

>> I HAD A CHANCE TO MEET MY CHILDHOOD HEROES.

BOULDER BOOKSTORE PUT AN EVENT IN BOULDER.

THEY ARE NOT BEING ANY CHANCE OF CONSERVATIVES BEING IN THE AUDIENCE.

IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEET A CHANCE WHOSE BOOK BROUGHT ME A LOT OF JOY.

I WAS GLAD TO GET A CHANCE TO MEET HIM AND SAY THANK YOU.

>> HE IS SO QUIRKY.

MY POSITIVE IS THE RETURN OF THE DENVER BAND.

THIS GIRL MOVED HERE IN THE '90s AND STAND OUTSIDE FOR HOURS ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

NOW THEY ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER THIS SATURDAY FOR A ONE-TIME SHOW.

THIS REUNION SHOW WILL THEN HAVE TWO DAYS LATER JAKE SHO ROADER.

THEY LEARN ABOUT LEADERSHIP BASED ON THE HEROES OF D-DAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A GOOD MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
