>>> HELLO, I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT, ON THIS FRIDAY 13th OF SEPTEMBER.

AND WE HAVE A LOT TO DISCUSS SO LET'S INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS WEEK'S INSIDER PANEL.

PATTY CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTORD.

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

ALAYNA ALVAREZ, REPORTER WITH AXIOS DENVER.

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

THANK YOU ALL.

THIS IS A BIG WEEK.

WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT.

ON TUESDAY, AMERICANS WATCHED WHAT MAY BE THE ONLY DEBATE BETWEEN THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES.

AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP BROUGHT UP AURORA TWICE AS A TOWN THAT'S BEEN TAKEN OVER BY A VENEZUELAN GANG.

CONGRESSMAN JASON CROW SAID THAT NIGHT, THAT CHARACTERIZATION IS EXAGGERATED.

AND ON WEDNESDAY AURORA MIKE COFFMAN AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBER DANIELLE JURINSKY RELEASED A JOINT STATEMENT THAT CLAIMS THAT GANGS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE CITY ARE NOT TRUE.

>> IT WAS THRILLING TO HAVE TRUMP MENTION AURORA AND THE VENEZUELAN GANGS.

HE -- IT IS RIDICULOUS.

IT IS SO WRONG.

THERE IS NO QUESTION AURORA HAS PROBLEMS.

THEY HAVE A PROBLEM OF COMMUNICATING CLEARLY.

IT TOOK TRUMP TALKING ON THE DEBATE ABOUT VENEZUELAN GANGS TO HAVE THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCILWOMAN TO GET TOGETHER AND PUT OUT A MEMO TOGETHER.

DANIELLE JURINSKY -- THEY NEED TO GET ALL OF AURORA OFFICIALS IN A ROOM AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THE REAL STORY IS.

WHAT THE TIMELINE IS.

WHAT FACTS THEY ACTUALLY HAVE.

WHAT IS COMPLETE MEL LAR KI.

OUR REPORTER TALKED WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN SPANISH WITH MIGRANTS.

THE ONLY GANGS HERE ARE THE COCKROACHES.

>> JURINSKY AND COFFMAN WERE PLANNING TO MAKE THAT DEBATE BEFORE THE DEBATE.

>> MAYBE THEY COULDN'T AGREE UNTIL AFTER THE DEBATE.

>> MAYBE.

>> THAT ISN'T UNUSUAL.

AURORA LIKE OTHER CITIES HAS TROUBLE COORDINATING MESSAGES.

THERE ARE TWO KEY TAKE AWAYS.

NUMBER ONE IT IS FRIGHTENING TO WATCH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IF I SCARE EVERYBODY MAYBE THEY VOTE FOR ME.

THAT IS HOW THAT CONVERSATIONS COME ACROSS.

THEY START TALKING ABOUT CATS AND DOGS AND OTHER PEOPLE'S GUESTS.

THEY MADE IT CLEAR THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR MONTHS.

THEY HAVE BEEN ARRESTING SUSPECTED GANG MEMBERS SINCE MARCH.

THEY KNOW THEY HAVE AN ISSUE.

THEY KNOW THEY NEED TO ADDRESS IT.

THEY ARE NOT BLINDLY IGNORANT OF THE SITUATION.

>> YOU HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS EVERY DAY.

IT IS HARD TO KEEP UP.

BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE DEBATE IN GENERAL.

THE BIG PICTURE.

TRUMP DIDN'T DO SO BADLY THAT ANY TRUMP VOTERS ARE NOT GOING TO SWITCH THEIR PARTY.

ANYONE WILL NOT BE SWAYED INTO HIS CAMP.

COLORADOANS ARE FEELING GOOD THEY WERE SO QUICK TO LINE UP BEHIND KAMALA HARRIS WHEN BIDEN DROPPED OUT.

I WANT TO COMMEND THEM FOR FACT CHECKING ON THE FLY.

IT REMINDED ON KYLE CLARKE WHO FACT CHECKED.

HE WAS INTERVIEWED BEST PRACTICES THAT MODERATORS SHOULD LOOK TO.

I HOPE THIS BECOMES MORE OF THE NORM.

YOU CAN'T POLITICIANS HAVE FALSEHOODS.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

>> I'M DISAPPOINTED IN THE MODERATORS WHO THE CANDIDATES WOULD APPOINT TO THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF AURORA.

IT IS IMPORTANT.

I MEAN, AS ANY ISSUE SURROUNDING IMMIGRATION.

EVERYTHING IS BLOUN OUT OF PROPORTION OR SHOVED.

THERE IS TRUTH TO A LITTLE OF EACH SIDE.

THERE IS TRUTH THESE BUILDINGS WERE NOT BEING MAINTAINED PROPERLY.

THERE IS VENEZUELAN GANG ACTIVITY PERHAPS IN THOSE COMPLEXES.

I WILL GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF GRACE TO LEADERS LIKE MAYOR COFFMAN WHO ARE TRYING TO GET THE INFORMATION.

THE INFORMATION THAT IS COMING IS EITHER COMPLETELY CONTRADICTORY.

COMING OUT THE SAME EXACT DAY.

THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING IS POLARIZED NOW.

IT IS ABOUT ADVANCING SOMEONE'S AGENDA.

>> LET'S TALK MORE ABOUT THE ELECTION IN GENERAL, WHERE SEEING SOME POLLING COMING IN.

ONE FROM EARLIER THIS WEEK SHOWS HARRIS WITH A 15% LEAD OVER FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HERE IN COLORADO.

FOUR WEEKS FROM TODAY BALLOTS WILL BE MAILED OUT HERE IN COLORADO EARLY IN-PERSON VOTING WILL BE AVAILABLE THE FOLLOWING WEEK, STARTING ON THE 21st OF OCTOBER.

PENN I WILL START WITH YOU.

>> IT IS INTERESTING.

IN TERMS OF THE ELECTION.

I THINK THE POLLING IS RIGHT IN COLORADO.

I'M CURIOUS TO SEE IF COLORADO IS REFLECTIVE OF A BROADER TREND.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE SEE IN COLORADO IS A NUMBER OF LEGISLATORS I SERVE WITH REPUBLICANS.

THEY WANTED TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE PROPERTY AS TRUMP TURNED THEM INTO.

IT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THAT IS A LOT OF DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS WHO HAVE LEFT THE PARTY.

IN TERMS OF THE OTHER RACES I THINK ADAM HAS A TOUGH ROAD.

HE CAMPAIGN WAS PERFECT.

LAUREN FLED TO THE EASTERN PLAINS.

SHE WILL PROBABLY WIN THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHO WILL WIN THE RACE AGAINST CARAVEO.

I THINK IT IS TELLING THE VICE PRESIDENT NOT TO DO AN EVENT HERE.

I THINK COLORADO IS IN BACK WITH THEM.

>> HOW LONG DENVER'S BALLOT IS GOING TO BE.

THERE IS 11, BALLOT MEASURE ON DENVER'S BALLOT.

THERE IS ANOTHER DOZEN STATEWIDE MEASURES.

SO IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG BALLOT.

MY TEAM OF THREE REPORTERS IS SCRAMBLING WHAT VOTER GUIDE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR VOTERS.

THEY SO MUCH TO DIGEST.

ALL OF THESE ISSUES IS QUITE COMPLICATED.

WE ARE TRYING TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN.

IT IS OVERWHELMING NO DOUBT.

I WILL BE CURIOUS TO SEE IT IS A PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.

THAT USUALLY MEANS HIGHER TURN OUT.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AS FAR AS PEOPLE ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS VOTERS ARE BEING TURNED OFF.

THEY WILL GIVE IT THE TYPE THAT THESE QUESTIONS DESERVE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO COMPLICATED.

WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AND BE VERY BUSY UNTIL THE NEXT MONTH.

>> NO DAYS OFF.

>> I UNDERSTAND THE EXCITEMENT THEY CAN BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

I THINK THE ENTIRE SITUATION IS UNFORTUNATE.

ROMNEY AND OBAMA LOOKED LIKE PLATO AND AR STOLE TAL.

BUT RIGHT NOW DONALD TRUMP ON THE POLICY ISSUE.

A POLL FROM A FEW DAYS AGO SHOWED THE TOP THREE ISSUES ARE INFLATION, IMMIGRATION, AND THE ECONOMY.

DONALD TRUMP IS LEADING BY 7, 12, AND 7 POINTS.

THE ONLY REASON SHE IS RUNNING AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.

PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE DIRECTION THIS COUNTRY IS GOING.

>> IN COLORADO SHE IS AHEAD BY 15%.

>> IF IT IS A 15% POINT LOSS IT IS DRAMATIC.

BIDEN WON BY 13.

HILLARY WON BY 6.

>> THE MAJORITY -- NOT THE MAJORITY BUT THE LARGEST IS UNAFFILIATED.

COLORADOANS ARE CAPABLE OF DIVIDING WHO THEY WANT TO VOTE FOR.

IT WILL BE BY CANDIDATE.

THEY WILL BE SO RELIEVED THAT HARRIS IS AVAILABLE.

TRUMP IS NOT POPULAR IN COLORADO.

I THINK WHAT IS FASCINATING IS THE BIG NEWS TUESDAY NIGHT WITH TAYLOR SWIFT ENDORSING.

A NUMBER OF PEOPLE REGISTERED TO VOTE.

SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE HARRIS CANDIDACY WE SEE YOUNG VOTERS.

YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DIVIDED OVER THE PALESTINE/ISRAEL ISSUE ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN THE VOTE.

LETS THANK COLORADO FOR MAIL-IN VOTES.

LET'S HOPE THE U.S. POST OFFICE CAN GET THE BALLOTS OUT.

WE HAVE THE SMALLER ONES IN DENVER AND THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT.

THOSE ARE IMPORTANT.

>>> ON MONDAY, COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE ANNOUNCED THE CAPTURE OF A FAMILY OF GRAY WOLVES.

THE ADULTS WERE INTRODUCED IN OUR STATE BACK IN DECEMBER, AND THEY'VE BEEN DEEMED RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLING OF RANCH LIVESTOCK.

AND SINCE THAT CAPTURE, CPW IS INVESTIGATING A NEW REPORT OF WOLF DEPREDATION IN GRAND COUNTY.

WITH ALL THE CONTROVERSY AROUND THE REINTRODUCTION OF THE GRAY WOLVES, ESPECIALLY THE CONCERN OF RANCHERS LOSING THEIR LIVESTOCK, CPW IS PLANNING TO CONTINUE WITH ITS PLANS TO RELEASE EVEN MORE WOLVES OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.

>> THEY FEEL CONFIDENT IN PURSUING THIS PLAN.

WE JUST GOT A PRESS RELEASE FROM PARKS AND WILDLIFE A THIRD WOLF DIED.

SOMETHING THAT I FOUND INTERESTING IT WAS REPORTED IN COLORADO POLITICS WAS THAT A COUPLE OF RANCHERS WHOSE LIFE STOCK HAVE BEEN KILLED BY WOLVES ASKING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL.

IN THAT LETTER SAID SOME INTERESTING THINGS.

MOST OF THESE DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE BY THE GOVERNOR.

THE FIRST GENTLEMAN I CAN'T CONFIRM THIS YET.

THEY HAVE HEARD FROM CPW OFFICIALS THAT IS TRUE.

THESE DECISIONS ARE COMING FROM THE GOVERNOR.

NO ONE IS HAPPY HOW THIS PROGRAM IS ROLLING OUT ON EITHER SIDE.

RANCHERS OBVIOUSLY.

YOU HAVE WILDLIFE GROUPS UP AND ARMS ABOUT THIS PACK.

THE FIRST BREADING PACK IN COLORADO BEING RELOCATED.

BELIEVED TO HAVE DONE A LOT OF THAT LIVESTOCK KILLING IS NOW DEAD.

THEY ARE NOT WINNING.

POLIS IS PRETTY STRESSED HOW THIS LOOKS TO THE PUBLIC.

>> IT IS A SHAME THAT NO ONE COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS HAPPENING.

NO ONE WAS WARNING THAT THE REINTRODUCTION OF WOLVES WOULD NOT GO WELL FOR ANYONE INVOLVED.

I UNDERSTAND THE FIRST GENTLEMAN HAS A PASSION FOR WILDLIFE.

IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT THAT THE GOVERNOR AND THE FIRST GENTLEMAN THIS WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN GONE ALREADY.

IF THEY ARE SCARED OF THAT.

IF THEY ARE SCARED GOING AGAINST THE VOTERS.

THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR ANYONE INVOLVED.

WE TALKED ABOUT WOLVES IN THIS PROGRAM AND COMES UP EVERY TWO OR THREE MONTHS.

IT IS RANCHERS UPSET, THIS ENTIRE PROGRAM HAS BEEN A MESS.

IT NEEDS TO GO.

IF THE LEGISLATURE ISN'T ONE TO DO IT THEY SHOULD PUT IT ON THE BALLOT.

>> IT IS ANOTHER ISSUE WHERE COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN REALLY BAD BETWEEN CPW AND THE RANCHERS.

THIS WEEK WE GOT SOME OF THE EMAILS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT BY CPW EMPLOYER.

I'M CURIOUS WHERE MORE WOLVES WOULD COME FROM.

SPEAKING OF COMMUNICATION.

AGREED SOME OF THEIR WOLVES COME DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE UTTE DIDN'T WANT THEM.

WE SEEM TO HAVE A WOLVES SHORTAGE.

COLORADO'S PLAN IS PROBLEMATIC RIGHT NOW.

>> IT IS.

PENN?

>> UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A POLICY THAT DOES NOT APPEARED TO BEEN WELL THOUGHT OUT.

IT IS NOW A COMBINATION OF ERRORS.

IT IS A HOT MESS.

>> DO YOU THINK THE LEGISLATIVE BODY WILL TAKE IT UP?

>> I THINK THEY SHOULD.

I APPRECIATE THE FACT THEY PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO.

THE PROBLEM IS SO MANY OF THEM WILL HEAR FROM THEIR CONSTITUENTS.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DEALS MAYBE YOU NEED A SERIES OF BIG HEARINGS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE COME IN AND GIVE THEIR OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS ON THIS POLICY DECISION.

IT HAS NOT GONE WELL.

>>> WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR BALLOT IN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, EXPECT TO BE AROUND 4-5 PAGES DEEP.

THERE'S A LOT BEFORE US.

SO COLORADO INSIDE OUT WILL FOCUS ON ONE MEASURE EACH WEEK LEADING UP UNTIL ELECTION DAY.

QUESTION 7A IS THE RTD BALLOT INITIATIVE.

RTD IS ASKING TO KEEP THE TAX REVENUE IT COLLECTS AND MAKING THE TRANSIT AGENCY INDEFINITELY EXEMPT FROM THE LIMITATIONS OF TABOR, THE TAXPAYER'S BILL OF RIGHTS.

SAGE LET'S START WITH YOU.

>> I CAN GO WITH MY OPINION.

WHEN IT COMES TO RTD.

IT IS WORTH EXAMING WHAT THEIR GOALS ARE AND WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS.

AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LIGHT RAIL, FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF MENTALITY GOING BACK IF YOU BUILD IT IT WILL COME.

GETTING ANYWHERE FROM DENVER WOULD TAKE FOUR HOURS.

WHERE WE HAVE THESE STATIONS WE WILL HAVE MORE DENSITY.

PEOPLE WILL WANT TO BE NEAR THIS MASS TRANSIT.

THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.

THERE WERE A LOT OF THREADS ON RTD.

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE NO LONGER RIDING IT.

MOST PEOPLE ON THERE ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES.

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY DIDN'T FEEL SAFE.

YOU KNOW THE TRAINS WEREN'T SHOWING UP.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO UBER TO WHERE THEY WERE GOING.

THEY HAVE TO SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE WITHIN RTD THEY CAN PROVIDE SERVICES AND MOST OF ALL DO IT SAFELY.

I WOULD SAY PEOPLE HAVE TO CONSIDER IS THIS COST FALLACY?

OR DOES RTD HAVE A VISION AND A PLAN TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B.

>> RTD SERVES EIGHT COUNTIES.

IT IS NOT JUST DENVER.

>> IT IS AN EXTENSION OF A PREVIOUS MEASURE.

IT IS NOT COMPLETELY NEW.

THEY WANT TO KEEP THE ACCESS TAX REVENUE.

LET'S REMEMBER THAT JUST LIKE SESSION WHEN THE LEGISLATURE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY TAX AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY CONSIDERED RESTRUCTURING RTD.

GIVING THEM MORE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE SERVICE THAT IS HORRIBLE AND THE SERVICE DOESN'T EXIST.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE VOTING TO LET RTD KEEP MORE MONEY IF THERE WAS SOME CHANGES BEING MADE AT RTD THAT SHOWED THAT PASSAGERS WOULDN'T BE STUCK.

EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FASTER THAT IT WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY TO DISRUPT ALL OF DOWNTOWN.

SO I THINK THIS WILL PROBABLY PASS.

I THINK RTD NEEDS NOT JUST TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT HOW THEY ARE DOING IT.

>> THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE GOTTEN TWISTED IN KNOTS.

HOW DO WE GET SAFE, RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WORKS FOR PEOPLE.

NO ONE BELIEVES THAT RTD HAS DONE IT OR CAN DO IT.

SAGE TALKED ABOUT OUR EXISTING LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM.

IT FOCUSED ON PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE IN AND INSIDE BACK OUT.

IT DIDN'T MOVE AROUND FROM THE MIDDLE.

THE BUSES AREN'T WORKING WELL FOR EVERYBODY.

CD IS LOOKING AT BUS TRANSIT.

IN ORDER TO GET THE TRANSIT SOLUTION IT WILL TAKE MONEY.

RTD WILL LOSE 24 TO $60 MILLION FROM THEIR BUDGET.

IF YOU THINK SERVICE IS PROBLEMATIC NOW.

LOSE $24 MILLION TO $60 MILLION.

>> I DON'T THINK MANY WILL DISAGREE WITH THE FACT THAT RTD NEEDS ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET.

ONE THING THAT I FOUND INTERESTING IS THAT THERE IS A LETTER OF ENDORSEMENT THAT IS BEHIND THIS INITIATIVE.

YOU HAVE A DOZEN LEGISLATORS.

THERE IS COUNCIL MEMBERS.

THERE IS LOTS OF ADVOCACY GROUPS.

THERE IS A LOT OF LAWMAKERS.

ONE THING THAT IS MISSING IS GOVERNOR POLIS.

THE FACT HE PUSHED PUBLIC TRANSIT SO MUCH.

PUTTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEXT TO THESE TRANSITION STATIONS.

GOING BACK TO MY POINT ABOUT EVERYONE GENERALLY AGREEING THAT RTD DOES NEED HELP.

SOMETHING THAT MIGHT HANG PEOPLE UP IS THE INDEFINITELY PART.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK DESERVES A SECOND LOOK AND COULD GIVE PEOPLE PAUSE BECAUSE CONSIDERING THAT IT HAS BEEN MANAGED IN PAST.

IT IS A LITTLE CONCERNING.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS IN POLIS' THINKING AT ALL.

IT IS HARD TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE REALLY THINKING.

>> LET US KNOW.

>> OKAY.

>> YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE BALLOT DISCUSSIONS SINCE THE START OF AUGUST ON THE CIO YOUTUBE PAGE OR ON PBS.ORG ON THE SPECIALS CATEGORY.

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

PATTY LET'S START WITH THE LOW.

>> RTD HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE WITHOUT A SO-CALLED ARTIST.

WE WILL SEE IF THE DPD WINDS UP CHARGING THEM IN THIS CASE.

>> THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

I THINK FOR GOVERNMENT TO BE RESPONSIVE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LISTEN.

I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CITY OF DENVER CHANGED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN WITHOUT TELLING PEOPLE IN ADVANCE THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT.

I LIVE IN PARK HILL AND YORK STREET.

IT HAS RESTRICTED LANES.

IT IS A MAJOR EAST, WEST FAIR.

IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THROUGH NOW.

>> I WAS GOING TO GO THE CONSPIRACY THEATER ABOUT IMMIGRANTS EATING PETS.

THAT IS NOT THE CONSPIRACY.

IT WAS MORE ABOUT DUCKS.

ANOTHER THING WAS THE FACT HE HAS A CONCEPT OF A PLAN WHEN IT COMES TO REPLACING THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD HAVE SOME POLICIES.

I MIGHT USE THAT LINE WHEN MY EDITOR WHAT I'M WORKING ON.

>> THE CONCEPT, YES, I LIKE THAT.

>> I'M STILL WORKING ON THE CONCEPT FOR IT.

MINE IS ON A PERSONNEL NOTE.

THOMAS COMES FROM MY GREAT UNCLE WHO PASSED AWAY EARLIER THIS WEEK.

CONSIDERED THE FUNNY MAN OF THE FAMILY.

MY FATHER AND HIS SIBLINGS WERE VERY CLOSE TO HIM.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE GREW -- I GREW UP OPPOSITE COAST.

I DID GET TO SEE HIM RIGHT BEFORE COVID HIT.

A WONDERFUL MAN.

A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR.

HE WILL BE VERY MISSED.

>> I CAN SEE WHERE THE SENSE OF HUMOR.

>> CARRIED THROUGH THE BLOODLINE.

>> ART CAN BE GREAT.

COLFAX A MURAL FESTIVAL IS BACK IN AURORA.

GO TO AURORA AND SEE SOME GREAT ART TOMORROW.

AND JIM GREEN AT DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

YOU HEARD THE VOICES ON THE TRAIN.

YOU HEARD THAT MUSIC.

HE CREATED IT AND PASSED AWAY.

>> THE MUSIC.

>> THE MESSAGES TOO.

THAT WAS PART OF THE ART.

>> HEAR ABOUT THE STORY ABOUT ALL THAT.

>> I WOULD SAY BIG UP TO THE COLORADO JUSTICE REFORM COALITION WHICH YESTERDAY CELEBRATED THE 25th ANNIVERSARY.

A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS STARTED TO REFORM HOW THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERACT WITH CITIZENS.

WORKING ON REFORM.

THEY HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS STRIDES.

>> BOULDER NAMED ONE OF THE THREE FINALIST.

THEY WANT TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER IN FEBRUARY.

THEY ARE UP AGAINST CINCINNATI, OHIO, AND SALT LAKE CITY IN UTAH.

>> IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

>> I KNOW THE BAR IS LOW WHEN IT COMES TO STABILITY AND POLITICS.

ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11th BOTH DONALD TRUMP AND HARRIS WERE THERE.

AND FORMER MAYOR BLOOMBERG LET'S GET THEM TO SHAKE HANDS.

IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME I WOULD WATCH THEM SHAKING HANDS I WOULD SAY NO, THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN.

I KNOW IT IS A VERY SMALL VICTORY FOR STABILITY.

FOR JUST ONE MOMENT IN TIME PUT ASIDE THEIR POLITICAL AGENDAS AND RECOGNIZE WHAT HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER 11th.

>> THAT IS AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR US TO STOP.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> MY HIGH, I DID START SEEING VERY HIGH UP A FEW YELLOW LEAVES.

IT IS STARTING.

THANK YOU INSIDERS FOR THIS WEEK.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT.
