>>> HELLO, I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH.

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS WEEK'S INSIDER PANEL.

PATTY IS OFF THIS WEEK, SO FIRST UP WE HAVE ALTON DILLARD, POLITICAL ANALYST AND MEDIA AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS CONSULTANT WITH THE DILLARD GROUP, AND FORMER ELECTIONS SPOKESPERSON FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER.

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

ED SEALOVER, VP STRATEGIC INITIATIVES WITH THE COLORADO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND EDITOR OF THE SUM & SUBSTANCE.

ALVINA VASQUEZ, AND ADVOCACY LEADER IN DENVER AND MEMBER OF THE PBS12 COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD.

WE STARTED THIS FIRST FULL WEEK, POST-ELECTION, WITH THE FLIP IN COLORADO'S 8th CONGRESSIONAL DIRECT RACE.

LAST WEEKEND, REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER GABE EVANS CAME FROM BEHIND TO DEFEAT INCUMBENT YADIRA CARAVEO.

THE FLIPPING OF THAT SEAT AND OTHERS HAS LEAD TO THE REPUBLICAN TRIFECTA IN WASHINGTON, WHICH LED GOVERNOR POLIS TO CO-FOUND AND START PROMOTING A NEW GROUP OF GOVERNORS WHICH SAYS IT WILL SAFEGUARD DEMOCRACY.

AND THE TIMING OF THAT ANNOUNCEMENT CAME AS CABINET APPOINTMENTS WERE BEING MADE FOR THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

SOMETHING TELLS ME IT WILL BE LIKE THIS EVERY WEEK FOR SOMETIME.

>> WE HAVE PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT.

GOING BACK TO CD8.

I FOUND IT INTERESTING HOW CARAVEO PERFORMED.

I THINK THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE AND THOSE ADS BLAMING HER FOR THE FENTANYL CRISIS WHETHER THEY ARE TRUE OR NOT THEY ARE EFFECTIVE.

TO THE PART THAT IS GOING ON IN WASHINGTON.

WHEN EVERYONE SAYING TRUMP IS TO APPEAL TO HIS BASE.

YOU ARE SEEING THAT MAN MEANS BUSINESS.

FOLKS WILL HAVE TO BUCKLE UP.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF THE MOMENTUM THAT THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS SAYING HANDS OFF OUR STATE IS GOING TO HOLD.

>> I COMPLETELY AGREE THE NUMBERS OUT OF ADAMS COUNTY WERE INTERESTING.

REPORTERS WERE TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE NUMBERS THEY WERE DOING THE MASS.

EVERYONE ENDED UP BEING WRONG.

IN REGARDS TO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION APPOINTMENTS IT WILL BE A WILD RIDE.

MATT GATES HAS TAKEN THE HEADLINES.

EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION ON MATT GATES.

WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT HAPPENS WITH ELON MUSK AND THIS NEW DEPARTMENT WHAT WAS GOVERNMENTAL EFFICIENCY.

THE DOJ.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH.

AS SOMEONE WHO WATCHED WITH FASCINATION WHAT HAPPENED IN ARGENTINA JUST DISMANTLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

I BELIEVE OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS MUCH TOO LARGE.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE THEM MAKE PROGRESS ON THAT.

THAT IS WHAT I'M INTERESTED IN SEEING WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

>> ED?

>> I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT ROLE GABE EVANS WILL HAVE IN CONGRESS.

HAVING WATCH THE LEGISLATURE, WHAT I KNOW GABE EVANS WAS THE APPOINT MAN ON ENERGY ISSUES.

HE WAS FIGHTING BACK AGAINST ENERGY REGULATIONS.

HE WAS PUSHING FOR THE ADOPTION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES.

I THINK ENERGY IS AN UNDER THE RADAR SUBJECT THAT IS GOING TO COME UP IN THIS NEW CONGRESS.

WILL GABE EVANS STEP INTO THAT ROLE.

MEANWHILE, WHAT ARE THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS GOING TO DO HERE IN COLORADO.

EVERYONE FOCUSING ON THE NATIONAL HOUSE.

ENERGY IS GOING TO COME UP.

MICHAEL WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE AIR POLLUTION SAYING HE IS LOOKING AT 22 PROPOSED BILLS THAT COULD AFFECT AIR QUALITY RULES HERE IN COLORADO.

THE HOUSE LEADER MOVES ON INTO CONGRESS.

BE INTERESTED TO SEE HOW THEY DEAL WITH THESE NEW AIR QUALITY PROPOSALS.

>> CD8 WAS BUILT TO BE A TOSS UP EVERY CYCLE.

WE MIGHT SEE THE SEAT BACK AND FORTH.

IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE THE UNEXPROTECTED LACK OF SUPPORT IN ADAMS COUNTY.

IT IS VERY MUCH A SMALL TOWN STILL.

THE RELATIONSHIPS RUN DEEP.

IF YOU ARE NOT THERE LONG ENOUGH, IT WILL BE HARD TO CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT SEAT.

SHE TOOK CHALLENGING VOTES ON IMMIGRATION.

IT IS ALSO, I THINK, WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT SEAT, ARE YOU GOING TO GET AS MUCH AS I CAN ON PROGRESSIVE POLICIES BECAUSE I CAN LOSE THIS SEAT OR TRY TO PLAY THE MIDDLE.

I DON'T THINK IT WAS A BENEFIT FOR HER CAMPAIGN.

I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE LEANED ON PROGRESSIVE POLICIES.

>>> WHEN IT COMES TO STATE GOVERNMENT, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY HELD LEADERSHIP ELECTIONS THIS WEEK.

AND THEN STATE SENATOR CHRIS HANSEN WHO WAS RE-ELECTED LAST WEEK ANNOUNCED HE HAS ACCEPTED A NEW JOB.

SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VACANCY COMMITTEES AGAIN.

LET'S START WITH YOU SAGE.

>> THEY ARE INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY HAPPEN EVERY WEEK.

WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT.

I THINK IT IS A THIRD OF OUR LEGISLATURE LEGISLATORS APPOINTED VACANCY COMMITTEE.

SETTING ASIDE HANSEN HIMSELF, I THINK HE HAS EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA.

WE ARE SEEING THE SITUATION WHERE THERE IS NO RISK WHATSOEVER TO TAKING THIS MOVE.

HANSEN HAS NOW SAID CAMACHO SHOULD NOW TAKE HIS SEAT IN THE STATE'S SENATE.

THEY WILL BE A VACANCY COMMITTEE FOR HIS HOUSE SEAT.

THIS GAME OF MUSICAL CHAIRS DOES HAVE TO END.

I KNOW LEGISLATORS TALKED ABOUT A SOLUTION TO IT.

THERE HAVE BEEN PROPOSALS.

THIS IS WHERE LEGISLATORS SIT DOWN AND WE WILL PUT A SOLUTION TO THIS.

REGARDLESS IT WILL BE FOR SPECIAL ELECTIONS AND HOW IT WILL DRAG THINGS OUT IN PICKING A NEW PERSON.

THESE ARE DISTRICTS BEING DECIDED BY GROUPS OF 20, 30, 40 PEOPLE IN A ROOM.

HOPEFULLY THIS SESSION LEGISLATORS WILL STEP UP AND ADDRESS IT.

>> WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTED TO SAY HERE IS WHAT THE SPLIT GOING TO BE.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A 23/12 SENATE.

ONE REPUBLICAN SEAT, ONE DEMOCRATIC SEAT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS FROM THIS NEAR STATUS QUO.

WHAT ARE WE GOING FOR NOW?

DEMOCRATS SEE MORE MOMENTUM.

THEY MIGHT COME BACK FOR.

HERE ARE SOME POLICIES THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE LAST SESSION.

THINGS LIKE HEALTH CARE STUDIES OR ALLOWANCE OF RENT.

REPUBLICANS MIGHT COME BACK AND SAY WE WANT TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THAT.

THESE AREN'T BIG GAINS.

IT IS ENOUGH TO KNOCK THE DEMOCRATS OUT OF THE HOUSE.

AND THAT IS JUST GOING TO CAUSE MORE PEOPLE TO COME TO NEGOTIATING TABLE FOR ISSUES FROM HEALTH CARE TO LABOR.

I WISH I HAD MORE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

WHEN WE ARE THIS FAR OUT, STILL COUNTING VOTES WHAT COME FROM THIS AND WHAT COMES THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.

>> ALL RIGHT, ALINA.

>> AMONG THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THEIR DIFFERENCES WITHIN THE PARTY.

SO NOTHING IS GOING TO BE EASY.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GOVERNOR IS SHIFTING DEPENDING WHO IS IN LEADERSHIP AND WHO IS NOT.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE -- I DON'T THINK A SUPER MAJORITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH EACH OTHER IN A DIFFERENT WAY THEY WOULD HAVE IF THEY HAD TO WORK MORE WITH REPUBLICANS.

THERE IS A SPECTRUM OF VIEWS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

>> OKAY.

>> KEEP AN EYE ON THE NEW SENATE PRESIDENT.

HE IS CONSIDERED TO BE A BIG BRIDGE BUILDER.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE POINT THE DISCUSSION IS SUPER MAJORITY.

MY THING WITH THAT MAYBE IT WILL CREATE AN OCCASIONAL ELUSION OF BIPARTISAN.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE SOME OF THE WORSE I'VE EVER SEEN WHEN IT COMES TO MAJORITY POLITICS.

THEY MAY WANT TO TAKE A PAGE OR TWO OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PLAYBOOK.

WE WILL SEE IF THAT HAPPENS.

ALSO TO ALVINA'S POINT WE HAVE TO FACTOR OUR LIBERTARIAN GOVERNOR WHERE HE FACTORS INTO ALL THIS.

AS FAR AS HANSEN AND THE VACANCY THING I'M NOT GETTING IN ANYONE ELSE'S POCKETBOOK.

IF SOMEONE IS OFFERING MORE A YEAR I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE I HAVE A FAMILY.

NOT HATING THAT.

DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.

>>> LET'S TALK ABOUT BUDGETING.

BOTH THE MAYOR OF DENVER AND GOVERNOR ARE CALLING FOR BELT TIGHTENING IN 2025.

ON TUESDAY, THE DENVER CITY COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY PASSED A $4.4 BILLION BUDGET WHICH IS JUST A LITTLE OVER WHAT WAS ALLOCATED FOR THIS YEAR.

IT IS NOT CLEAR CUT FOR STATE LAWMAKERS WHO ARE LOOKING AT GOVERNOR POLIS' DRAFTED BUDGET CUTS THIS COMING YEAR.

>> HE SUGGESTED $638 MILLION IN REVENUE ADDITIONS OR BUDGET CUTS TO GO FORWARD.

IT IS FASCINATING FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.

HE HAD PROPOSED THE IDEA OF CONVERTING THE STATE CHARTER WORKER COMP WHO GETS SPECIAL TAX BREAKS THAT THE PRIVATE MARKET WON'T COVER.

HE IS TALKING ABOUT CONVERTING TO A PRIVATIZE COMPANY IN SOME SENSE.

IT IS NOT WHAT HE CAN ADD TO THE BUDGET.

HE BELIEVES HE CAN HAD 80 TO 1 HUNDRED MILLION TO THE NEXT FOUR BUDGETS AS WELL.

ONE OF THE RESTRICTIONS IT CAN'T SELL POLICIES OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF COLORADO.

THE PANDEMIC CHANGED HOW WE HIRING WORKERS.

HE SAID IF YOU WANT THAT, IT NEEDS TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND NEED TO DO THIS FOR THEM.

THIS WILL BE A FASCINATING DISCUSSION THAT WILL AFFECT A LOT OF BUSINESSES.

>> ALVINA.

>> I WOULD ASK OUR VIEWERS TO LOOK AT THEIR BUDGETS IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES THAT IS WHERE DECISIONS ARE MADE SCHOOL FUNDING.

LEAVING SCHOOL DISTRICTS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN THEIR DISTRICTS.

EVEN THOUGH THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE HAPPENING VERY LITTLE COVERAGE IS ON CITY BUDGET.

CHECK YOUR CITY COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

HOW CAN YOU TESTIFY WITHOUT GETTING SUCKED INTO THE STATE BUDGET.

A LOT OF IT WILL BE AT THE LEGISLATURE.

>> WE ALSO IN THE CONTEXT OF THE BUDGETING THING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT NOW THE STATE WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL MONEY TO FUND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THERE WAS A BIT OF A COURSE CORRECTION AFTER THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD PEOPLE THROUGH THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER.

LET'S NOT GIVE THE COPS ANY MONEY TO DO ANYTHING.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW THIS PURPLE STATE OF OURS SAID WE WILL CODIFY STATE MARRIAGE.

WE WILL START HAVING PEOPLE WHO COMMITS CRIMES -- WE WILL START SETTING NO BAIL FOR PEOPLE IF THERE IS A CERTAIN PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE.

IT SHOWS VOTERS ARE TIRED OF CRIME.

B, THEY ARE TIRED OF EVERYONE HANGING THEIR HAT ON THE PANDEMIC AS AN EXCUSE WE TURNED AS THE THUNDER DOME.

IT WILL BE HOW THE REST OF THE COURSE CORRECTION HAPPENS IN THE UPCOMING SESSION.

>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PROP 130.

THAT WILL TAKE A LOT OF MONEY FROM OTHER AREAS.

YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> MY COLUMN IN THE GAZETTE IS ABOUT THE STATE BUDGET.

HE CAME OUT AND SAID TABOR IS THE REASON WE DON'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

AS A CONSERVATIVE THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME TOO HAPPY.

THE LAST FOUR YEARS OR SO IT ADDED ABOUT 3500 EMPLOYEES TO OUR STATE GOVERNMENT PAYROLL.

WE CREATED 15 NEW OFFICES.

ONE OF WHICH IS THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT.

THE FACT IS THAT OUR LEGISLATURE LOVES TO SPEND A FEW NICKELS AND DIMES HERE AND THERE.

THESE ARE LITTLE DROPS IN THE BUCKET.

THEY END UP BEING LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS.

I KNOW REPUBLICANS ON THE COMMITTEE HAS WARNED AGAINST THIS LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS.

IF YOU HAVE $1 SPEND IT FOR ONE TIME PROJECT.

DON'T SPEND IT TO SOMETHING THAT WILL PUT US IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE CUTS ACROSS THE BOARD.

QUITE FRANKLY, I THINK THE GASLIGHTING WHEN IT COMES TO TABOR IS RIDICULOUS.

OUR STATE GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOOD AS SPENDING MONEY.

OUR BUDGET IS BIGGER THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE.

WE NEVER HAVE ENOUGH.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN THIS SESSION?

THE GOVERNOR WANTS CUTS.

PEOPLE ON HIS SIDE -- HIS DEMOCRATIC SIDE WERE QUESTIONING WHAT?

WHAT?

HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WILL PLAY OUT?

>> THE GOVERNOR MADE AN INTERESTING STATEMENT.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU LOOKED AT THAT YOU DIDN'T PUT IN YOUR BUDGET?

ONE OF THE FEW NONPERFECTED AREAS OF THE BUDGET.

THE OTHER WAS IN THE REIMBURSEMENT RATE FOR MEDICAID PROVIDERS.

SO THERE WILL HAVE TO BE HARD CHOICES MADE.

IT WILL LEAD TO A LOT OF DISCUSSION THIS YEAR.

>> STARTING AROUND THIS TIME NEXT WEEK A LOT OF COLORADOANS WILL BE GEARING UP TOWARDS THANKSGIVING GIVE.

BETWEEN THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND SKI SEASON, OUR HIGHWAYS ARE ABOUT TO GET CROWDED AS YOU KNOW.

CDOT IS GETTING TO SPREAD DYNAMIC TOLLING.

I DON'T KNOW PEOPLE REALIZE THEY MAY HAVE TO PAY MORE AND COST WILL FLUCTUATE TO GO INTO THAT EXPRESS LANE.

>> WHAT IS OUR STATE PAYING FOR.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY TAXES TO COVER THE COST OF STREETS YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY SOME HOW.

THIS IS TO COVER THE COST TO MAKE THEM MORE ACCESSIBLE.

THE PEOPLE THAT CAN AFFORD TO GET DOWN TO VAIL WILL GET DOWN TO VAIL.

IT CREATES A SYSTEM OF INEQUALITY.

>> YOU ARE LAUGHING.

>> I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT.

THERE IS EAT THEM CAKE KIND OF VIBE.

WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED REFERRING TO ANY KIND OF TOW LANES AS LEXUS LANES.

TO THE THRESHOLD QUESTION, NOTHING WILL FIX CONGESTION.

I-70 IS GETTING A LITTLE BETTER.

THE TUNNELS NO LONGER -- PEOPLE AREN'T STOPPING TO ADMIRE THE TUNNEL.

WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE EASING OF CONGESTION.

WE HAVE OUTGROWN OUR TRANSPORTATION FRACTURE.

THAT IS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE COME HERE THAT'S WHY YOU GET TO GET YOUR TRANSPORTATION FRACTURE OUT FRONT OF THE GROWTH.

YOU CAN'T BUILD TO CATCH UP WITH GROWTH.

>> I FEEL WE ARE ALWAYS IN CATCH UP MODE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE MOVING HERE.

AND THIS -- BY THE END OF THE YEAR THIS MOUNTAIN TRACK WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THIS DYNAMIC TOLLING AS WELL GOING SOUTH.

YOUR THOUGHTS ON ALL THIS, SIR?

>> IT IS QUITE A RISK AS TOLLING ALWAYS IS.

IF THEY DON'T SEE IMPROVEMENT, YOU CAN'T QUANTIFY IT.

IF PEOPLE ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC, THEY ARE GOING TO SAY THEY ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC.

MOST PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO SEE THE TRAFFIC AND NOT HAPPY HAVING TO PAY MORE.

I DO HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH THE NOTION COLORADOANS AREN'T PAYING TAXES.

IF THEY AREN'T WILLING TO PAY MORE TAXES THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR ROADS SOMEHOW.

OUR BUDGET HAS INCREASED.

SOMEHOW ROADS AND BRIDGES ARE NEVER THE PRIORITY.

THEIR MAIN GOAL IS GETTING PEOPLE OFF THE ROADS.

IF YOUR GOAL IS THAT YOU ARE NOT BUILDING MORE OF THEM.

AND SO THERE HAS BEEN THIS HUGE PUSH FOR TRANSPORTATION BUSES, TRAINS, OR WHATEVER AND NOT FIX AND IMPROVE THE ROADS.

NOW HERE WE ARE AND THEY ARE CONGESTION.

NOW THE ARGUMENT IF YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR THEM.

I THINK COLORADOANS ARE PAYING MORE THAN THEY HAVE.

>> I DON'T THINK COLORADOANS -- I JUST DON'T.

CONSTANTLY GET FAILED IN COMMUNITIES.

COMMUNITIES ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE THERE IS NO ABILITY TO EXPAND WITH THE LIMITED DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE.

>> ALL RIGHT.

YOUR THOUGHTS, ED?

>> I'M GOING TO SWITCH LANES HERE.

I THINK THERE WILL BE MORE DISCUSSION IN THE LEGISLATURE ABOUT GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES.

THE TRANSPORTATION REVIEW COMMITTEE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS THIS YEAR ABOUT PLANS FOR THAT.

POSSIBLY BRING BACK THE IDEA EMPLOY TRIP REDUCTION PROGRAM.

REDUCING THE SINGLE OCCUPANCY COMMUTES THEIR EMPLOYEES MAKE.

THERE HAS BEEN TALK EMISSIONS ON INDIRECT SOURCES.

A LOT OF CARS WILL GATHER.

HOW DO WE CUT DOWN IN NUMBERS GOING INTO THERE EVEN IF WE ESTABLISHED RULES SAYING THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MINIMUM PARKING.

I THINK THESE DISCUSSIONS ARE GOING TO BE VERY BIG.

THERE IS NOT A BILL THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON THESE.

IT IS EXPECTED TO COME FORWARD.

THAT WILL BE A BIG PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION CONVERSATION ESPECIALLY A LOT OF EMPLOYERS WILL BE INTERESTED IN.

>> SO INTERESTING.

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

WE WILL TALK ON A LOW POINT.

>> MY LOW GOES BACK TO ELECTION DENIALISM.

I KNOW PEOPLE'S LIVES HAVE BEEN TURNED.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ELECTION RESULTS WENT A CERTAIN DIRECTION, NOW YOU DON'T HEAR THAT NARRATIVE ANYMORE.

THE HYPOCRISY IS STUNNING.

>> AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SPOKEN OUT AND ALTON YOU HAVE DONE THIS A GREAT DEAL AS WELL AGAINST THOSE ON THE RIGHT WHO CONSTANTLY DEGRADE OUR ELECTION SYSTEM WITH NO EVIDENCE.

WE ARE SEEING IT FROM THE LEFT.

I HAVE WARNED PEOPLE THAT THE CANCER THAT HAS TAKEN OVER THE RIGHT, THE LEFT IS NOT IMMUNE FROM IT.

WE ARE STARTING TO SEE IT.

WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF PROMINENT PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF FOLLOWERS AND THAT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS ESPECIALLY FOR THE FUTURE.

NOT JUST FOR THIS PRESIDENCY BUT WHAT HAPPENS IN FOUR YEARS, EIGHT YEARS.

>> IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT AMERICA.

PEOPLE NEED TO LOOK AT AMSTERDAM.

WE HAVE SEEN ATTACK BY PEOPLE CHANTING ANTI-SEMITIC.

THIS IS SOMETHING PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION TO.

>> I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE MASS DEPORTATIONS.

I THINK IT IS BAD FOR BUSINESS, IT IS BAD FOR THE ECONOMY.

PEOPLE STOP GOING TO WORK.

FAMILIES ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES.

AND SO I HOPE THERE IS SO MUCH TURNOVER.

SO MANY PEOPLE GETTING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

IT IS A BIG DANGER FOR OUR ECONOMY IN COLORADO.

>> LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING GOOD.

>> YOU WILL NOTICE I GOT A CHEESY START TO A GO GOATEE.

I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN MOVEMBER.

GET EVERYTHING CHECKED.

>> THANK YOU.

>> ONE THING WE DID SEE ON THE POLITICAL SIDE WAS BIDEN WELCOMING TRUMP TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DOING SO IN A CORDIAL MANNER.

EXTENDING GRACE THAT WASN'T EXTENDED THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT LOOK AT THIS GREAT THING.

THAT IS HOW IT HAS BEEN DONE.

I WAS GLAD TO SEE THEM SMILING IN THE SAME ROOM AND SHAKING HANDS.

NOT SOMETHING YOU WOULD EXPECT AFTER THIS KIND OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

>> I WANT TO GIVE SHOUTOUT TO JOSEPH A MIDDLE SCHOOLER WHO COMPETED THIS WEEK.

THIS KID COMPETED.

HE IS THOUGHTFUL.

HE IS ABSOLUTE FUTURE LEADER OF OUR COMMUNITY.

WE ARE PROUD TO CALL HIM COLORADOAN.

>> WE NEED TO GET HIM HERE ON THE TABLE.

ALVINA?

>> I'M READY TO START DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS.

>> LIGHTS ARE GOING OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND.

MY HIGH IS BITTERSWEET.

THAT IS THE PASSING DENVER POST RIDER BILL.

HE WAS LOOKING TO GET A SCOOP THAT NOBODY ELSE REPORTED.

HE HAD THE WORDS TELL ME ON HIS LICENSE PLATE OF HIS CONVERTIBLE.

HE WOULD SHARE THE STORIES OF PEOPLE HE INTERVIEWED.

HE WAS CONVERSATIONAL IN HIS WRITING.

ONCE HE WROTE ABOUT ME AS THE MORNING PIXIE RETURNING TO MY TIME IN THE MORNING NEWS.

WHO REACHES FOR THE WORD PIXIE.

HE WAS SMART AND FUNNY.

I WILL SO MISS SEEING HIM AROUND TOWN.
