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

WE ARE WARMING UP IN COLORADO AFTER A COLD STRETCH THAT HIT JUST AS GROUPS OF MY GRANTS WERE RELEASED FROM SHELTERS IN DENVER WITH NOWHERE TO GO.

AS WE SIT DOWN THIS WEEK, DENVER MAYOR MIKE JOHNSTON HAS LEAD A COALITION OF OTHER BIG CITY MAYORS TO WASHINGTON TO TELL THE PRESIDENT, THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL TO EASE THE BURDEN ON CITIES THAT ARE TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, AND PROVIDE SHELTER.

ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER ON THE WAY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF OTHER TOPICS TO DISCUSS THIS WEEK AS WELL.

ESPECIALLY WITH ELECTION DAY JUST DAYS AWAY.

SO LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO PATTY CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.

DAVID KOPEL, RESEARCH DIRECTOR WITH THE INDEPENDENCE INSTITUTE.

ERIC SONDERMANN, COLUMNIST WITH COLORADO POLITICS AND THE DENVER AND COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTES.

ATTORNEY PENFIELD TATE, WHO HAS SERVED IN BOTH THE STATE HOUSE AND STATE SENATE HERE IN COLORADO.

WELCOME.

THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE TALK OF THE 2024 GENERAL ELECTIONS SEEMS TO BE GETTING MUCH ATTENTION THIS COMING TUESDAY, PATTY.

>> THE TALK OF DENVER THIS WEEK.

NATIONALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE CASE IN COURT OF WHETHER OR NOT DONALD TRUMP CAN BE ON THE COLORADO PRIMARY BALLOT BECAUSE OF THE 14th AMENDMENT.

I'M SURE DAVID WILL HAVE MORE.

I'M ENJOYING THIS CLOWN CAR OF WITNESSES TALKING ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR.

WHAT INSURRECTION REALLY MEANS.

WE WON'T REALLY KNOW UNTIL THANKSGIVING WHETHER OR NOT THE JUDGE WILL RULE -- HOW THE JUDGE WILL RULE.

WE WILL HEAR PLENTY.

NOW THERE IS A CASE IN MINNESOTA.

THERE ARE MORE AROUND THE COUNTRY.

CAN DONALD TRUMP BE ON THESE BALLOTS.

ALSO SINCE LAST WEEK, WE HEAR KEN BUCK IS NOT RUNNING AGAIN.

THE MOST RECENT VOTE FOR THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

I THINK ON THAT ALONE WE CAN SAY CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING OUT.

>> ON THE LEGAL ISSUES IN THE TRUMP CASE, THERE ARE EMINENT LAW PROFESSORS.

JUDGE WALLACE SHOULD HAVE RECUSED HERSELF.

SHE MADE A CONTRIBUTION.

THE HOME PAGE OF THE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE SAID THAT JANUARY 6TH, THE RIOT WAS AN INSURRECTION.

WILL USE THE INSURRECTION ISSUE TO GET THE REMAINING IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

PRIOR TO YESTERDAY I WAS NOT COGNIZANT OF THIS ORGANIZATION.

SHE WASN'T COG NAG SANT END UP IN THE POLITICAL BANK ACCOUNT.

WHETHER THAT RIOT IS AN INSURRECTION OR NOT LEGALLY SPEAKING.

OBVIOUSLY, WITH THAT DONATION SHE SHOWS SHE MADE UP HER MIND ON THAT ISSUE LONG AGO.

>> I THINK WHAT FASCINATES ME MOST ABOUT THIS TRIAL.

YES, THERE WAS AN INSURRECTION DONALD TRUMP MUST FALL UNDER THIS PROHIBITION CLAUSE.

ULTIMATELY TRUMP NEEDS TO BE DEFEATED AT THE BALLOT BOX NOT THE JURY BOX.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS THING GETS RESOLVED.

THE JUDGE SAID YOU WILL HAVE A DECISION BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

THAT IS THREE WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD.

ULTIMATELY IT WILL GET RESOLVED BY THE U.S. SUPREME COURT.

OUR PRIMARY IS UP COMING ON MARCH 5TH.

GOOD FOR KEN BUCK FOR TAKING THE STAND.

WE WILL HAVE TWO FASCINATING RACES IN THIS STATE.

NOW THE BOEBERT DISTRICT AND NOW THE BUCK DISTRICT THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF REPUBLICANS FROM HEIDI TO JERRY AND FORMER LEGISLATOR AND OTHERS WHO ARE OUT THERE AS WE ARE TAPING I'M SURE HAVING COFFEES AND LUNCHES AND TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A CANDIDACY.

>> DAVID RAISES A GOOD POINT.

THE REALITY IS SOMEONE HAD TO BRING THIS CHARGE AGAINST HIM.

SOMEONE HAD TO RAISE THIS ISSUE.

IT IS INTERESTING THAT IT IS BEING DONE IN COLORADO.

I EXPECT CHALLENGING HIS ABILITY TO BE ON THE BALLOT IS GOING TO APPEAR IN OTHER STATES AS WELL.

IT IS TIED TO KEN BUCK.

PATTY PUT IT WELL.

WHAT I NEVER DISAGREED WITH, THE FACT HE WAS A STATESMAN AND HE VOTED WHAT HE BELIEVED.

ENOUGH JUNK IS ENOUGH JUNK.

I CAN'T RECONCILE HIS PERSONAL ETHICS FOR JOHNSTON TO BE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

HE MADE IT CLEAR HE HAD ENOUGH.

BOEBERT NOW HAS PRIMARY CHALLENGERS, FORMER GOVERNOR OWENS ENDORSED HER PRIMARY OPPONENT.

I DISAGREED WITH GOVERNOR WHEN I WAS IN THE LEGISLATURE.

HE SAID THIS IS TOO FAR.

THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR.

IT IS INTERESTING HOW THIS IS PLAYING OUT IN COLORADO.

>> I HAVE TO ADD ONE THING.

SITTING HERE LAST WEEK WAS UNBEKNOWNSED TO HIM.

WHAT HE HAS CALLED KRISTA AND THE OTHERS IN COLORADO WHO BROUGHT THE CASE.

KRISTA IS A DEMOCRATIC HENCHMEN WHICH WE HAVE TO REMIND HER.

>> NOW TO THE CURRENT DAY BALLOTS WHAT ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR EYE ON, DAVID?

>> THERE IS THE DENVER SCHOOL BOARD RACE WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THREE ARE RUNNING FOR THE ELECTION FOR WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL DENVER SCHOOL BOARD IN ANYONE'S LIVING MEMORY.

THE HARD LEFT IS WORKING TO TAKE OVER THE CITY COUNCIL.

THE MAYOR'S OFFICE.

I THINK THERE IS AN INTERESTING DISTINCTION IN THAT.

AFTER THE SO-CALLED DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST OF AMERICA, DENVER CHAPTER PUT OUT A PROHAMAS STATEMENT.

HE RESIGNED FROM THAT ORGANIZATION.

HE DID IT AND CUT HIS TIES.

LOOKING AT HIS TWITTER FEED, I DON'T AGREE WITH HIM ON ANY ISSUES, I THINK, EXCEPT ON HIS DECENCY CUTTING HIMSELF OFF FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN FAVOR OF KILLING JEWS.

IN CONTRAST ANOTHER MEMBER OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL CONTINUES ON HER TWITTER TO AMPLIFY THE HAMAS SAYING THERE WAS A CEASE FIRE.

HAMAS WENT IN AND MURDERED AND TORTURED AND BURNT TO DEATH OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE.

YOU HAVE FAR LEFT IN AURORA A CONTRAST IN THE CHARACTER OF THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS.

>> THE ONES I'M KEEPING MY EYE ON.

ONE IS THE STATEWIDE PROPOSITION.

A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY BEING SPENT ON BOTH SIDES.

MOSTLY BY THE PROPONENTS.

I THINK THERE IS A POTENTIAL, I HAVEN'T SEEN POLLING ON IT.

I THINK IT IS POTENTIAL FOR IT TO COME DOWN.

I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS PEOPLE WHO WOULD ORDINARILY BE IN FAVOR OF THIS THING ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

A LOT OF THEM ARE RESERVED OR OPPOSED TO IT.

I THINK IF DEMOCRATS OF MIXED MIND, IT COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

GOVERNOR POLIS HAS A LOT INVESTED IN THIS.

HE HAS BEEN PUBLIC IN HIS SUPPORT IN IT FOR HIS POWERFUL HE WAS IN HIS FIRST TERM.

HIS SECOND TERM IS OFF TO A ROCKIER START.

IF HH GOES DOWN, I THINK THERE IS A POSSIBILITY IF IT GOES DOWN IT WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT BLOW THIS YEAR.

I THINK THOSE TWO INCUMBENTS HAVE A TOUGH GO OF IT.

>> LET ME START WITH DPS.

I THINK IT IS INTERESTING.

I APPRECIATE DAVID SAYING IT IS AN IMPORTANT ELECTION.

I THINK IT IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION WE HAVE.

IT IS THE ONE PEOPLE PAY LEAST AMOUNT OF ATTENTION TO.

HOW OUR KIDS FAIL TO GET EDUCATED IS THE IMPORTANT THING TO MAINTAIN SOCIETY.

I THINK MANY PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU THAT DPS -- THE ELECTIONS COULD NOT HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME.

THEY MAY NOT LIKE HOW THE ENTIRE BOARD PERFORMS.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING HOW THE INCUMBENTS DO.

IN TERMS OF HH I CAN'T TELL WHICH WAY IT IS GOING.

YOU GOT REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ON BOTH SIDES.

HAD WE NOT PASS TABOR AND PASS THESE DO OVERS WE WOULDN'T BE DEALING WITH ANY OF THIS STUFF.

WE GAVE UP ON IT BACK IN THE '90s.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

I THINK MIKE KAUFMAN WILL WIN.

>> AURORA IS NOT THE ONLY TOWN ELECTING A NEW MAYOR.

WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION OF BOULDER.

SO EVERYBODY SHOULD BE GETTING OUT TO VOTE.

AT THE SAME TIME VOTE FOR THEY MAYORS AND SCHOOL BOARDS.

NO ONE IS AS BAT AS DPS.

THERE ARE SOME OTHERS THAT NEED CHANGES.

THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE ON.

I HOPE THE EARLY RETURNS WE ARE SEEING WHICH ARE SO SPARSE DO NOT HOLD UP.

BACK TO DPS.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY BEING SPENT ON THAT.

I WISH WE WOULD SPEND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON AFTER SCHOOL CARE.

I THINK WE GOT SOME GOOD CANDIDATES.

WE DON'T KNOW WHO, WHEN, LET'S WIN IN A MORE HONORABLE WAY.

>> MAILING YOUR BALLOT IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.

YOU HAVE TO DROP DOWN YOUR BALLOT AT A DROP BOX YOU HAVE TUESDAY AT 7:00.

THIS WEEK PRESIDENT OF COLORADO UNIVERSITY POSTED ONLINE ABOUT THE INCREASING TENSION OF COLLEGE CAMPUSES SINCE THE OCTOBER 7TH HAMAS ATTACK THAT KILLED 14 PEOPLE.

HIS CAMPUS IN GRAND JUNCTION WELCOMES ALL AND ENSURES SAFETY FOR ALL.

THIS STUDENT WAS CHARGED WITH THREATS HE MADE TO JEWISH STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.

>> FIRST OFF GOOD FOR HIM.

HE IS THE EXCEPTION NOT THE RULE.

WE SAW AT CU WHERE THE ETHIC STUDIES PUT OUT AN OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT ACCUSING ISRAEL FOR DEFENDING ITSELF AND BEING GUILTY OF GENOCIDE.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE PALESTINIANS HAVE GOTTEN THE SHORT END OF THE STICK.

THERE IS NO DOUBT PALESTINIANS HAVE GRIEVANCES.

THE ONLY JEWISH NATION IN THE WORLD THAT IS THE ONLY DEMOCRACY, ALL BE IT IMPERFECT DEMOCRACY IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD.

THERE ARE ROUGHLY 17 MILLION JEWS IN THE WORLD OUT OF A POPULATION OF 8 BILLION.

THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO HOMELAND AND HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A TWO STATE SOLUTION.

WE CAN GO ON AND ON KYLE.

BUT THE ANTI-SEMITISM IS FRIGHTENING.

IT IS SHAMEFUL.

IT HAS BEEN BUBBLING THERE JUST BEFORE THE SURFACE.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS BEEN GIVEN LICENSE.

>> I APPLAUD MARSHALL FOR RELEASING THIS STATEMENT.

OUR COLLEGE CAMPUSES HAVE BEEN THE LABORATORY OF DISCENT AND SPEECH.

WHAT IS HAPPENING REFLECTS HAPPENING IN SOCIETY IS THIS GREATER LEVEL OF INTOLERANCE.

IT IS THAT YOU CAN'T JUST DISAGREE WITH SOMEONE.

YOU HAVE TO DISAGREE AND PUNCH THEM IN THE NOSE.

IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS HARD TO HAVE CIVIL DISCOURSE.

I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID.

I'M SURE YOU WILL CATCH SLACK FROM SOME PEOPLE TALKING TWO STAGE SOLUTION AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS THAT MAKE SENSE.

PEOPLE ARE BECOMING INTOLERANT OF DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE SOLVE THIS.

I DON'T THINK IT IS BAKED INTO OUR DNA.

I THINK IT IS A FUNCTION HOW OUR POLITICS HAVE EVOLVED LOCALLY.

WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TEMP DOWN SOME OF THE VIOLENT RESPONSE TO DISAGREEMENT ON POLITICAL PERSONAL BELIEFS.

THAT IS TROUBLESOME.

>> IT IS VERY TROUBLESOME.

>> THERE ARE PASSIONS THAT RUN HIGH AT THAT SCHOOL.

THERE IS A LOT OF DISCOURSE.

I WENT THERE AFTER THE BLACK STUDENTS TOOK OVER THE STUDENT UNION.

WHAT IS FASCINATING IS PRESIDENT DEALT WITH IT PRETTY QUICKLY.

I'M NOT SURE LETTING PEOPLE NOT GO TO CLASS TODAY WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

IT WILL GIVE TIME FOR TENSIONS TO GO DOWN.

THE LEADER OF THE PALESTINIAN GROUP I SAW HER ON CNN YESTERDAY.

SHE WAS GREAT TALKING ABOUT WE DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT OUR NATIONAL GROUP IS SAYING.

SHE WAS VERY FORTHRIGHT AND CONCERNED WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE CAMPUS.

THIS IS HAPPENING AT EVERY CAMPUS.

IT IS NOT AS IT WAS.

IN THIS CASE WHICH LOOKS LIKE ONE VERY TROUBLED STUDENT WHO MAYBE HAD A PSYCHIC BREAK.

HE WAS NOT POLITICALLY INVOLVED IN ANY OF THESE ISSUES.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTEROUS ON THAT CAMPUS.

I'M GLAD HE IS LOCKED UP.

WE CAN SEE THIS MORE AROUND THE COUNTRY.

TENSIONS ARE HIGH.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE GOING TO THEIR CORNERS.

>> YOU KNOW, TO YOUR POINT PATTY, IN THE '70s WHAT HAPPENED IN CAMPUSES PEOPLE STUDENT OF COLOR BURNED BUILDINGS AND OTHER CAMPUSES GOT FIRE.

STUDENTS WERE REACTING TO A SYSTEM AND ESTABLISHMENT THEY FELT WAS REPRESSING THEM DIRECTLY.

THEY WEREN'T ATTACKING OTHER STUDENTS.

THAT SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON NOW.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT STUDENT SAFETY AT CU.

WHERE THE -- WITHIN HOURS AFTER THE HAMAS ATTACK, STUDENTS HELD A RALLY FOR THE EXTERMINATION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

BROUGHT WITH THEM POSTERS.

CELEBRATING THE HAMAS ATTACKS WITH THE SHOWING PARA GLIDER WITH A GUN AND A PALESTINIAN FLAG.

CAME INTO A MUSIC FESTIVAL FOR PEACE.

AND MASS MURDERED OVER 200 PEOPLE.

DO YOU FEEL SAFE ON A CAMPUS WHERE STUDENTS CELEBRATE MASS SHOOTINGS?

CU HAS A PROBLEM OF SYSTEMIC RACISM.

I DON'T SEE WHY TAXPAYERS DOLLARS SHOULD BE GOING TO FOMENT HATE TO SUPPORT MASS SHOOTINGS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WE MAY HAVE CELEBRATED HALLOWEEN THIS WEEK.

BUT A LOT OF ATTENTION IS BEING FOCUSED ON JANUARY WHEN THE STATE LEGISLATURE WILL COME TOGETHER FOR A NEW SESSION.

ALREADY WE ARE TALKING JANUARY PENFIELD.

ON WEDNESDAY WE GOT A LOOK WHAT GOVERNOR POLL LIS WANTS FOR HIS -- POLIS WANTS FOR HIS NEW BUDGET PLANS.

>> YOU GOT ALL THE CHRISTMAS DISPLAYS.

YOU DON'T GET MUCH BREAK.

THIS IS MY BIAS.

FOR OUR VIEWERS, THE GOVERNOR PROPOSES A BUDGET BUT THE LEGISLATURE WRITES THE BUDGET AND PASSES THE BUDGET.

AND THIS GOVERNOR, I THINK HAS DONE SOME INTERESTING THINGS.

$18.4 BILLION IS THE LARGEST STATE BUDGET WE EVER HAD.

HE PROPOSES TO FUND K-12 EDUCATION.

$136 FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING INVESTMENT.

THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IS SAYING WE WILL DO IT DIFFERENTLY THIS TIME RATHER THAN DICTATING WHAT WE WANT AS A SOLUTION.

WE WILL PARTNER WITH THEM AND MAKE MONEY AVAILABLE.

IT IS RIGHT FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

WE DO HAVE A STATEWIDE AFFORDABILITY PROBLEM.

WE WILL SEE HOW IT WILL GET IMPLEMENTED.

THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS.

MORE MONEY FOR DEALING WITH OTHER STATE ECONOMIC POLICY ISSUES.

I MEAN IT LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER.

THE BUDGET COMMITTEE WILL RESPECTFULLY READ IT AND START WRITING THE BUDGET COME JANUARY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> AS WE CAN SEE IT IS NEVER PRETTY RIGHT NOW IN DENVER.

WITH COUNCILMEMBERS OBJECTED TO WHAT MIKE JOHNSTON PUT FORWARD.

THAT HAS TO BE SETTLED BY NOVEMBER 13TH.

WE WILL SEE LEGISLATORS TO PICK APART WHAT POLIS SUGGESTED.

HE WAS OUT THERE AT THE TOP RATED SCHOOL IN AURORA TALKING ABOUT IT.

AT LEAST HE SHOWS HE HAS SOME OF THE MATH UNDERWAY.

HE WILL FIGURE OUT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO WITH SOME OF THE GAPS.

HE CAME OUT ON THE SAFE INJECTION SITE PROPOSAL.

AT LEAST WE WILL SAVE TIME HAVING A FIGHT ABOUT THAT THIS SESSION.

>> MIGHT CONSIDER PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER.

>> IT WILL STILL SAVE SOME.

IT IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

>> DAVID?

>> I HOPE YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT ON THE SAFE INJECTION SITES.

I WAS IN VANCOUVER JUST A FEW BLOCKS WHAT THEY CALL SAFE INJECTION SITE.

IT IS THE WORSE THING.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A WAR ZONE.

IT IS THE WORSE THING.

YOU WANT TO BRING THAT TO DENVER, I THINK IS SO WRONG.

ULTIMATELY SO CRUEL TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE TERRIBLE PROBLEMS AND THE TREATMENT AND NOT AUGMENTATION OF THEIR PROBLEMS.

>> I GIVE KUDOS FOR GOVERNOR TO TAKE THAT OFF THE TABLE.

I THINK THE INTENT BEHIND IT OR SOME OF THE PEOPLE PUSHING IT HAD AN UNDERSTANDABLE INTENT.

IT IS JUST BAD POLICY.

RAMIFICATIONS WOULD BE BAD.

IN TERMS OF BUDGET, THE GOVERNOR PROPOSES THE LEGISLATURE DISPOSES.

THERE IS AN APPETITE FOR EDUCATION DOLLARS.

NO ONE ARGUES THE TEACHERS SHOULD BE PAID MORE.

NOT EVERY TEACHER IN THE SYSTEM IS A HIGH QUALITY TEACHER.

THERE SHOULD BE A DIFFERENTUATION WHO DESERVES THAT MONEY OR NOT.

I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN A HECK OF CORRELATION.

>> THE OTHER I THINK, ERIC WE MISSED UP SCHOOL FINANCE YEARS AGO.

WE STILL HAVE HUGE INEQUITIES IN DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.

UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT WE NEED TO REDO K-12 WE WILL HAVE THESE SITUATIONS DEVELOP.

>> NOW IT IS TIME IN OUR SHOW FOR THE PANEL TO SHARE WHAT THEY SEE AS A HIGH AND LOW OF THE WEEK.

WE START WITH THE NEGATIVE.

>> SOME OF THESE CAMPAIGNS HAVE NOT BEEN INSPIRATIONAL.

WE SHOULD STILL REMEMBER TO VOTE.

LOOK AT WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE TO VOTE IN 2020.

VOTE IN 2022.

YOU GOT TIME.

>> SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN COLORADO ARE HOPING THAT THE HAMAS ATTACKS ARE THE BEGINNING OF THE FINAL EXTERMINATION OF THE JEWS.

HERE IS A FACT CHECK.

HITLER TRIED THAT.

THE JEWS BEAT THEM ALL.

WE WILL SURVIVE.

>> THE GROWING ISOLATION TO A SCARY DEGREE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THIS COUNTRY.

THAT PARTY IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE UNRECOGNIZABLE.

AT THE SAME TIME OUR ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON ISRAEL.

THE WAR CONTINUES IN UKRAINE.

BACK AWAY FROM ANY AMERICAN INVESTMENT OR INVOLVEMENT.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT BOOTS ON THE GROUND SUPPORT.

>> YOU WOULD HOPE THAT POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS WOULD INSPIRE YOU TO VOTE FOR SOMEBODY AND NOT AGAINST A PERSON.

WHEN YOU ARE HOPING YOU ARE MODEL FOR KIDS.

SOME HAVE BEEN PUT OUT ARE JUST AWFUL.

THEY SHOULDN'T HAPPEN IN SCHOOL BOARD ELECTIONS.

>> AT ALL.

SOMETHING POSITIVE.

>> TODAY, IS THE START OF DENVER ARTS WEEK.

TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE MUSEUMS.

YOU CAN GO TO 13 DIFFERENT MUSEUMS FOR FREE.

GET OUT AND SEE THE GREAT THINGS.

>> A GREAT ARTICLE FROM WESTWORD ABOUT JOHN DENVER MADE HIM SPECIAL FIRST IN COLORADO AND THEN GLOBALLY WAS HIS SINCERITY.

>> THAT WAS NICE.

SITTING NEXT TO MY FRIEND PENFIELD REMINDS HOW MUCH I MISS SITTING BY HIM ON THIS PROGRAM.

HIS COMMENT EARLIER ON THE SHOW WITH THE ISRAEL/HAMAS QUESTION IS DEAD ON THE MARK.

DISAGREE WITHOUT BEING DISAGREEABLE.

TO HANDLE DIFFERENCES, TO BE RESPECTFUL AND NARROW THOSE DIFFERENCES INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY MAKING THEM BIGGER AND LARGER.

IN THIS CASE TO WHOLE TWO THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD ONE THAT ISRAEL CAN DEFEND THEMSELVES.

AND PALESTINIANS HAVE GRIEVANCES THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED.

>> I APPRECIATE HE WAS A STATE'S PERSON.

HE VOTED HIS CONSCIOUS IN HIS DISTRICT.

HE WAS NEVER A FIRE BRAND.

HE SAID THIS IS WHERE I STAND.

ANY VOTED THINGS UP AND DOWN.

AND HE AND OTHERS REACHED A POINT I GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS GAME.

IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS.

THAT WORRIES ME.

WE NEED GOOD PEOPLE TO RUN FOR OFFICE.

>> I HAVE CHANGED MINE OF THE WEEK.

THERE IS SO MUCH HEAVY SUCH GOING RIGHT NOW.

THIS CONVERSATION WAS GREAT.

I THINK WE SHOW THAT YOU CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION MENTION DIFFERENT THINGS AND LISTEN AND TAKE AWAY THAT AND THINK ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING AWESOME AS ALWAYS.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING ON YOUR TV OR DEVICE.

DON'T FORGET OUR PODCAST, ON SPOTIFY.

WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK HERE ON PBS12.
