>>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

I'M YOUR GUEST HOST KRISTA KAFER.

THIS IS THE LAST NIGHT ON THIS SET.

THE NEXT TWO EPISODES WILL BE FILMED AT THE BOOKSTORE.

TONIGHT WE ARE JOINED BY PATTY CALHOUN.

FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.

DENISE.

PENFIELD TATE NOW WILL TATE LAW.

AND MARIE ABURGER.

IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BALLOTS WILL ARRIVE IN THE MAIL.

ARKANSAS SENATOR JOINED GOP CANDIDATE TO TALK ABOUT GUBERNATORIAL.

THEY FACED OFF IN A DEBATE AND MONEY IS POURING IN.

PATTY WHAT IS YOUR UPDATE ON THIS ELECTION.

>> YOU HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO TURN ON THE TV.

IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE THERE IS RELATIVELY LITTLE COVERAGE OF POLIS AND GANHL SPOKE.

YOU DID HEAR WHAT COONED -- KIND OF CARS THEY DROVE.

YOU NOW SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING OUT AGAINST HIM.

YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE PAYING ATTENTION TO TOM COTTON.

NEWS LINE DID AN INTERESTING PIECE HOW MUCH MONEY O'DAE GOT IN CONTRACTS.

NOW HE IS TALKING ABOUT KEEPING GOVERNMENT LITTLE AND KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR LIVES.

WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE SCRUTINY OF O'DAE.

PROBABLY HEIDI GANHL TOO.

SAME THING WITH MICHAEL BENNET YOU WILL SEE NON-STOP COVERAGE.

>> MONEY GOES WHERE THERE IS HOPE.

THE FACT MONEY IS POURING INTO O'DAE SAYS SOMETHING.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON IT?

>> I AGREE WITH YOU.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING PATTY HAS SAID.

I THINK THAT RACE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN GOVERNOR POLIS' HANDS TO LOSE.

I WILL SAY WHAT IS INTERESTING ABOUT THE DEBATE WAS HOW FLAT FOOTED THE GOVERNOR.

HIGH CRIME, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON FENTANYL.

IT SEEMS TO ME THE GOVERNOR COULD HAVE JUST SAID, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BILLS I SUPPORTED IN THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT GIVES TONS AND MILLS OF DOLLARS.

DO YOU KNOW CRIME IS RISING.

THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN TOUGH ON CRIME, YOU KNOW, SOFT ON CRIME POLICIES.

THAT IS NOT THE DEAL.

IT IS THE UNDERLINE THAT CAUSES THE CRIME.

BUT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE THEIR PLAYBOOK.

I WAS SURPRISED THE GOVERNOR WASN'T ABLE TO ATTACK IT MORE HEAD ON.

>> I DO THINK THE GOVERNOR SEEMED DEFENSIVE DURING THE DEBATE.

WHAT ARE YOUR TAUGHTS?

>> HE WAS PROBABLY A BIT DEFENSIVE.

I THINK HE HAS BEEN TESTED.

HE NEEDS TO SHARPEN HIS EDGE.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO SOMETHING PATTY RAISED.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL LANDSCAPE, PROBABLY THE CLOSEST RACE STATISTICALLY IS BETWEEN BENNETT AND O'DAE.

THE RACE IS SLIPPING AWAY FROM O'DAE.

HE STARTED OUT STRONG POSITIONING HIMSELF AS A MODERATE IN COLORADO TERMS.

I THOUGHT HIS ADD WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST CAMPAIGN ADS THIS SEASON.

THE MORE HE GETS ENDORSED I THINK IT PLAYS INTO THOSE SOCIAL ISSUES THAT MAY WORK IN THE WORLD OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

THEY DON'T RESONATE WITH REPUBLICANS OR INDEPENDENTS HERE IN COLORADO.

HIS RECORDS ON A WHOLE HOST OF THINGS IS GONG TO GET HIM IN TROUBLE.

>> MARIE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SENATE RACE?

>> WE HAVE GONE FROM SELF-PRIMARY TO GENERAL.

WE SAW IN THE DEBATE THIS WEEK HEIDI GANHL TRIED TO DISTANCE HERSELF.

TOM COTTON WAS HERE THIS WEEK.

WE LEARNED JUST RECENTLY NOT ONLY DID JOE O'DAE VOTED TO END IT.

HE PUT IT ON THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

NOT MAKE THIS TIME PERIOD WHERE PEOPLE TRY TO SAY THEY ARE MODERATE DISTRACT WHAT PEOPLE ARE.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE VOTED FOR.

WHAT THEY SAID THEY BELIEVE IN.

WE SAW CORY GARDNER DO A SIMILAR EXERCISE.

FOLKS GO ALONG WITH MITCH McCONNELL.

WE NEED NOT TO LOSE OURSELVES IN THE PRIMARY.

>> ORAL ARGUMENTS BEGIN IN OCTOBER.

303 CREATIVE IN QUESTION IS THE STATE'S ACCOMMODATION LAWS.

DOES IT VIOLATE THE FREE SPEECH AND EXERCISE CLAUSES OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

DENISE THIS IS AN INTERESTING CASE.

THE CASE THAT WAS FAIRLY NARROWLY DECIDED.

CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE SOMETHING BROADER IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, YOUR PREDICTIONS.

>> I THINK THE 303 CASE WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST WATCHED.

THIS PARTICULAR TERM OF THIS SUPREME COURT.

JUST BY WAY OF LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND FOR THE VIEWERS WHO MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THE CASE.

303 IS A WEB SITE DESIGNER.

IT'S OWNER OPPOSED TO SAME SEX MARRIAGE.

THE WEB SITE DESIGNER DOESN'T WANT GRAPHICS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT CELEBRATE SAME SEX MARRIAGE.

THIS IS A DIRECT CLASH WITH ANTIDISCRIMINATION LAW.

IF YOU ARE A COLORADO BUSINESS, THAT YOU CANNOT REFUSE TO PROVIDE SERVICES ON THE BASES OF LOTS OF THINGS.

ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

YOU ARE CREATE THAT IN THE MASTERPIECE CAKE CASE THE SUPREME COURT DECIDED THAT CASE IN A TECHNICALITY AND KICKED IT BACK.

THIS ONE HAS MORE OF THE ISSUE RIGHT AT HAND.

I THINK WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IF THE COURT SHOULD SIDE WITH THE WEB SITE DESIGNER, OF THE CASE GOES FAR BEYOND THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

POTENTIALLY OVERRIDE ALL DISCRIMINATION LAWS IN THE COUNTRY.

A WHILE BACK THE SUPREME COURT HAS REJECTED THE RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE.

THERE WAS A CASE BEFORE IT WHERE RELIGIOUS SCHOOL SAID IT COULD PLAY MEN LESS THAN WOMEN.

THINK ABOUT THAT.

HOW THIS CASE CAN AFFECT MANY CASES LIKE THAT.

THERE IS REASON TO BE CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE MAKE UP OF THIS COURT THINGS MAY NOT GO WELL FOR MANY OF US.

>> LORY SMITH SERVES ALL PEOPLE.

IF SHE WOULD BE FORCED TO DO THAT, WOULD THAT BE FRONT TO HER FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, PEN?

>> THE QUESTION IS WHEN YOU ARE A BUSINESS SAYING YOU PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY, DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE I ONLY PROVIDE IT TO SOME PEOPLE NOT OTHERS.

MANY OF US WILL THINK BACK ON JIM CROW LAWS WHERE RESTAURANTS AND THE REASON FOR THE GREEN BOOK WHERE RESTAURANTS WOULD EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO NOT SERVE BLACKS AND OTHERS BECAUSE IT WAS A MATTER OF THEIR PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.

SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CASE.

I THINK WHAT HAS MANY PEOPLE CONCERNED IS IT IS A VERY NARROW ISSUE.

WITH THIS SUPREME COURT AND THIS MAKE UP AND WHAT THEY DID WITH THE DOBBS DECISION.

THIS CASE REALLY LENDS ITSELF TO SOME REALLY BROAD RANGING SWEEPING DECISION THAT AS DENISE POINTED OUT COULD UNDERCUT LEGISLATION AND EVERY STATE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

THAT HAS MANY PEOPLE WORRIED.

PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU ARE BASICALLY SAYING IF YOU HAVE A PRIVATE BUSINESS YOU CAN TREAT PEOPLE HOWEVER YOU WANT TO IN TERMS WHAT SERVICES YOU DO OR DON'T OFFER FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

THIS IS A FIRST AMENDMENT CASE.

IT IS NOT GROUNDED IN RELIGION WHICH IS IMPORTANT.

IT IS NOT BASED ON YOUR RELIGION.

IT IS A QUESTION OF WHAT YOU CAN AND DO HAVE TO ARTICULATE.

>> EVERYONE AROUND THIS TABLE A WRITER.

WILL THIS AFFECT WRITERS AND THEIR ABILITY TO WRITE SOMETHING THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR BELIEFS?

>> I'M REALLY SCARED BASED ON WHAT PENFIELD SAID TOO.

THIS IS SAYING YOU CAN WRITE SOMETHING THAT IS ALLOWS YOU TO SPEW HATE AND DISCRIMINATE.

WE ARE KNOWN AS A WELCOMING PLACE, AN INCLUSIVE PLACE.

WHY IS NOW WE ARE ON THE MAP WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHT TO BE HATEFUL.

THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE.

NOT ONLY IS NOT ALIGNED WITH OUR STATE LAW THAT WE DON'T WANT TO OPEN UP TO DISCRIMINATION IN THE MARKETPLACE.

WHY IS THIS WE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE MAP.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK OF COLORADO AND THINK OF THIS CASE.

>> IS REFUSING TO DO A WEB SITE FOR A GAY WEB SITE THE SAME AS SPEWING HATE?

>> IF YOU ARE CONTRACT FOR HIRE PRESUMABLY TO YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING.

I DON'T SEE THEM PLACING ADS ON WESTWORD.

YOU GET INTO THOSE ISSUES FROM THIS.

YOU CAN EXTRAPOLATE HOW TRICKY THINGS CAN GET.

COLORADO GOT THE REPUTATION OF BEING THE HATE STATE.

WE PASSED THE AMENDMENT THAT DIDN'T ALLOW TO GUARANTEE EQUAL RIGHTS FOR GAY THAT WAS OVERTURNED FROM THE SUPREME COURT.

SO WE CAN COME UP WITH THAT REPUTATION YET AGAIN DEPENDING ON HOW THIS GOES.

>> THE AVERAGE HOME COST DECLINED.

THAT IS A STEEP DECLINE.

CALIFORNIA AND UTAH EXPERIENCED STEEPER DECLINES.

IS IT SHOWING THAT IT IS SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR BUYERS BUT NOT GOOD FOR SELLERS.

PEN YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> I THINK WE ARE GETTING ALL WRAPPED UP IN THIS ISSUE.

IT IS ALL RELATIVE.

WE ARE IN THE SEASON WHERE HOUSING PRICES CONTINUE TO DROP ANY WAY.

PRICES DROPPED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE.

RATES HAVE ALMOST DOUBLED IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS DUE TO INFLATION AND THE FED WANTS TO CHECK INFLATION.

PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING HOUSES FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.

CONSIDER THIS.

IN DENVER NOW, THE AVERAGE RENT FOR ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT IS ALMOST $1,700 A MONTH.

YOU GOT TO EARN ROUGHLY $56,000 A YEAR.

A STUDIO IS ALMOST $1,500 A MONTH.

YOU HAVE TO EARN ALMOST $50,000 A MONTH.

A THREE BEDROOM IS $2,800.

PRICES ARE COMING DOWN.

THEY HAVE BEEN ASTRONOMICAL FOR YEARS.

SO IF YOU ARE A HOME BUYER AND YOU HOMEOWNER OVER THE LONG-TERM PRICES ARE GOING TO RISE AGAIN.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO GET INTO THE MARKET, I HOPE YOU TOOK CARE OF DEBT PROFILE.

GET IN NOW WHILE RATES ARE CLIMBING BEFORE THEY CLIMB TOO HIGH.

>> DENVER NEEDS ABOUT 50,000 HOUSING UNITS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS A PLACE TO CALL THEIR OWN.

IS THIS A SIGN OF HOPE THAT THE MARKET MIGHT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THAT.

>> I THINK THAT IS THE SIGN THAT THE -- WE CAN BUILD MORE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN DENVER AND LIVE IN COLORADO.

HOUSING IS GOING TO BE UNAFFORDABLE.

THE REALITY $5,000 HERE AND THERE HOUSING IS VERY OUT OF REACH ESPECIALLY FOR MY GENERATION.

THE GENERATION THAT WILL FALL AFTER ME.

WE ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE WORSE OFF THAN OUR PARENTS.

WE CAN'T LOOK TO $5,000.

WE GOT TO MAKE COLLEGE MORE AFFORDABLE.

UNTIL WE DO THAT WE WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

>> IS IT A SIGN OF HOPE OR PART OF SEASONAL MARKET?

>> MORTGAGE RATES ARE GOING UP.

THAT IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE RIGHT NOW.

HOUSES -- THE MEDIAN IS UP THAN LAST YEAR.

OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS THE AVERAGE PRICE OF A HOME IN DENVER HAS GONE UP LIKE $100 A DAY.

SO THE PRICES ARE JUST CRAZY.

IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION YOU WILL GO INSANE UNLESS YOU ARE -- YOU GET THESE LITTLE ZILLOW WEB SITE SENDING OUT THESE NEWS STATS EVERY DAY.

WHAT IS AMAZING ABOUT DENVER.

PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THIS CITY.

WE SEE THESE APARTMENT BUILDINGS GOING UP.

THEY ARE STILL GOING UP.

IS IT JUST THAT WE LOST EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE AND BELOW FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED HOUSING?

>> THAT RACES A GOOD POINT.

I READ A PIECE THEY ARE LOOKING AT TAKING OLD OFFICE BUILDINGS AND TURNING THEM INTO HOUSING.

WHERE DO YOU SEE THE MARKET GOING?

>> I THINK EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE HAS SAID HERE IS REALLY ON POINT.

I THINK SIGNIFICANTLY THAT HOMES ARE STILL REALLY EXPENSIVE AND UNAFFORDABLE FOR A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF A DENVER POPULATION.

THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LIVE IN DENVER BUT SIMPLY CAN'T.

IT IS REGULATING ITSELF.

TRY TO BRING MORE REALITY AND COMMON SENSE TO HOME PRICES.

NOT NEARLY AS IT NEEDS TO GO.

WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE CAUSES OF CRIME AND ONE OF THE CAUSES OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE -- WE HAVE A LARGER HOMELESS POPULATION HAVE TO DO WITH UNAFFORDABILITY OF HOMES.

THERE IS A BIG BIG HOUSING INSECURITY.

WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT.

I THINK LOOKING AT OFFICE SPACE IS SMART.

WE SHOULD LOOK AT SOME OF THE NOT SO NICE HOTELS ON COLFAX ALL ALONG THE WAY.

THERE IS LOTS OF WAYS WE CAN LOOK ABOUT DOING MULTIPLE HOUSING, MAKING THEM AFFORDABLE.

ALLOWING INDIVIDUALS TO CREATE EQUITY.

THAT REALLY IS ONE PATHWAY AND MAYBE THE BEST ONE TO ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW CREATING WEALTH AND STABILITY.

>> ONE OF DENVER'S MOST UNIQUE WATERING HOLES IS CLOSING.

STAFFING SHORTAGES AND RISING COST IN RESTAURANT AND BAR SCENES CONTINUE TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON WHERE WE GO.

>> I'M SO BUMMED.

I JUST LOVED IT THERE.

THIS WAS SUCH BAD NEWS FOR THE WEEK.

OUR LAST TOPIC HOW HOUSING IS OUT OF REACH.

WE GOT TO RAISE WAGES.

THAT IS PART OF THIS.

I THINK THE BOOK BAR STORY.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES PLACES TO GET A GLASS OF WINE.

ANOTHER ONE IS ABOUT TO EXPAND.

OUR ECONOMY IS BOOMING.

WE ARE TOP SIX IN THE COUNTRY FOR ECONOMIES RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE ONE OF THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT.

THE LOWEST WE EVER HAD.

THE ECONOMY IS BOOMING.

WE HAVE TO GO UP IF WE WANT PEOPLE TO BUY HOUSES HERE.

WE NEED TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES.

WE NEED TO BE DOING MORE THINGS LIKE THAT PASSING THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT.

ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO SUPPORT.

WAGES HAVE TO BE DOING THAT.

>> I'M SO EXCITED THE JAPANESE RESTAURANT THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND HAD GREAT FOOD.

DO YOU THINK WE WILL START LOSING MORE OF THESE ICONIC PLACES?

>> WE BROKE THE BOOK BAR STORY.

SHE OWNS THE BUILDING.

A LOT OF THE BUSINESSES YOU SEE CAN'T MAKE IT IS LANDLORDS CAN'T MAKE IT.

SHE WILL DECIDE WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO WITH IT.

SHE HAS A VERY INTERESTING POINT.

UNLIKE THE RESTAURANTS WHO CAN RAISE THEIR RATES FOR THEIR FOOD TO COVER THE HIGHER COST OF MINIMUM WAGE AND FOOD PRODUCTS YOU CAN'T RAISE YOUR PRICES TOO MUCH ON BOOKS.

IT IS PRINTED ON THAT BOOK.

IF YOU BUY IT IN OTHER STORE NOT GETTING INTO THE DISCOUNT.

THERE IS SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT THE BOOK BUSINESS.

IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE IT.

WE SAW INFORMATION CAFE WHICH WAS SHUT DOWN BY THE CITY.

HAD A GO FUND ME AND RAISED $50,000 OVERNIGHT WHICH SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT THESE PLACES ARE.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE.

SUPPORT RAISING MINIMUM WAGE.

>> THE BIG FRANCHISES CAN SUPPORT EACH OTHER.

I WORRY ABOUT SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL PLACES THEY ARE IN BETWEEN TWO IMMOVABLE IN THE ECONOMY.

WHERE DO YOU SEE THIS GOING?

>> YOU BROUGHT THE RIGHT POINTS.

IT IS COMPLICATED.

ON ONE HAND, I REALLY APPRECIATED ABOUT THE BOOK BAR OWNER SHE DIDN'T TRASH THE NOTION OF RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE.

SHE THOUGHT OF IT AS A NECESSITY.

SHE HERSELF COULDN'T DO IT.

IT IS TWO BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE.

I'M GOING TO MISS IT A LOT.

I THOUGHT I ALONE WAS HELPING HER MAKE THE RENT.

HE OWNS THE BUILDING.

I THINK THIS IS WHAT IS COMPLICATED.

THE MIT CALCULATORS A PRETTY WELL RESPECTED ENTITY.

THEY PUT A LIVING WAGE IN DENVER AT $20.31 AN HOUR FOR A SINGLE ADULT.

IF YOU HAVE TWO CHILDREN IT SHOULD BE $50 AN HOUR.

THAT IS JUST OUTRAGEOUS THE DENVER MINIMUM WAGE WILL GO TO 17.

YOU WILL HAVE BUSINESSES THAT WILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE THAT WAGE WORK.

I THINK THAT'S WHY FOLKS ARE CLOSING.

THERE ARE SOME WAYS BUSINESSES -- NOT THE BOOK BAR THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE MATH WORK.

OTHERS ARE STRUGGLING TO DO IT.

I THINK THERE IS A FIRM BELIEF THAT MINIMUM WAGE DOES NEED TO GO UP.

WE HAVE UNPRECEDENTED INFLATION.

IT WASN'T PREDICTABLE.

IT WASN'T EXPECTED.

THAT IS THROWING OFF THINGS.

WE NEED THE MARKET REGULATED SO ALL WILL BE WELL.

I HOPE I'M NOT TOO NAIVE IN THAT HOPE.

>> I HOPE IT WILL CONTINUE.

HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE HAVE TO BE CAPTURED IN PRICES.

AT SOME POINT PEOPLE SAY I DON'T WANT TO PAY THIS AMOUNT FOR COFFEE OR A MEAL.

WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING?

>> THE TOPICS ARE INTERRELATED.

IF YOU HAVE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PEOPLE CAN LIVE NEAR WHERE THEY WORK.

THEY DON'T REQUIRE AS MUCH INCOME.

THEY PUT LESS PRESSURE ON SOME OF THEIR EMPLOYERS.

WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO SMALL BUSINESSES IS TOUGH THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC.

WE TALK ABOUT BOOK BAR.

I LOST TWO OF MY FAVORITE BARBECUE RESTAURANTS.

THEY ARE GONE.

I'M SEARCHING FOR NEW ONES.

VIEWERS HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS TO LET ME KNOW.

THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE A STRUGGLE.

THE BOOK BAR OWNER IS FORTUNATE.

SHE OWNS THE BUILDING.

SHE WILL BE ABLE TO CASH IN THIS REAL ESTATE MARKET.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE PRESSURES ON SMALL BUSINESSES.

JUST BECAUSE THE ENTIRE ECONOMY OF THE CITY AND STATE ARE OFF KILTER.

I TRULY BELIEVE FINDING SOLUTIONS TO AFFORDABILITY AND HOUSING IS GOING TO BE KEY TO HELPING TO RIDE THE SHIP HERE.

>> FOR EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE.

IT IS TIME FOR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

>> HEIDI'S HUSBAND OWNS A BARBECUE PLACE.

WHEN YOU SEE THE ADS FOR BOB AND CARAVAYO.

LET THESE WOMEN TALK ABOUT THEIR OWN PLATFORMS AND QUIT THROWING THE MUD.

YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN ON THE TELEVISION YOU MIGHT CATCH THEM.

>> DENISE?

>> MY DISGRACE OF THE WEEK ARE THE POLICE OFFICERS WHEN THEY ARRESTED AN INDIVIDUAL, HANDCUFFED HER AND PUT HER IN THE BACK OF THE PATROL CAR.

THEY PARKED THE CAR ON THE TRAIN TRACKS.

THE TRAIN CAME THROUGH AND TOSSED THE CAR AND MOVED IT ABOUT 200 FEET.

THE WOMAN IN THE BACKSEAT COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE PATROL CAR.

THIS IS NOT A POLICE TRAINING ISSUE.

WE ALL KNOW DON'T PARK ON THE TRAIN TRACKS.

>> AMEN.

PEN?

>> IT IS AN UNDERSTAND STATEMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING WRONG AS A SOCIETY.

IN COLORADO THE DEATH RATE FOR TEENAGERS HAS INCREASED 60% OVER THE LAST DECADE.

THIS IS DEATH DUE TO SUICIDE AND DRUG USE.

WE GOT TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF OUR KIDS.

>> AND MARIE YOURS?

>> FOR ANYONE WHO DIDN'T SEE THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PARTNER WITH LIZO IT WAS A SO AWESOME.

WHAT A WAY TO MAKE HISTORY COOL.

>> YOU WATCH ANYTHING WATCH THAT.

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

I SAID SOMETHING NICE ABOUT LIZO.

>> I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT LORY WHO HAD BEEN ON CHANNEL 9.

SHE JUST GOT NAMED A COHOST AT MPR WHICH IS GREAT.

>> DENISE.

>> I SAW THAT.

I HAVE SO FARED ENJOYING THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.

THE GOVERNOR OPENED UP HIS HOME TO A BIG PARTY AND THERE WAS GREAT TEQUILA.

THERE WAS A LOT OF LATINO PRIDE.

I HAVE TO SAY THE LATINO COMMUNITY WE ARE MORE THAN A MONTH.

>> PEN?

>> I WENT TO THE LATIN FASHION SHOW WHICH IS FANTASTIC.

CONGRATULATIONS 16th STREET MALL NEEDS A BOOST.

THE MUSEUM OF ELUSION COMING TO THE MALL.

>> SHOUTOUT TO THE FESTIVAL.

TICKETS GO OUT NEXT WEEK.

SO IF FOLKS HAVEN'T GONE CHECK OUT THE FILM FESTIVAL.

>> THANKS EVERYONE FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT.

I WANT TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO THIS LOVELY SHAG CARPETED TABLE.

IF EVERYONE CAN GIVE IT A LAST RUB DOWN HERE.

>> MANY GREAT HISTORY RIGHT HERE.

THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE MOVING TO A NEW VENUE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WE ARE GOING TO BE AT THE TATER COVER.

YOU CAN CATCH US ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ALSO PBS12.ORG.

CHECK US OUT AND HAVE YOURSELF A FANTASTIC NIGHT.
