>>> HELLO I'M KYLE DYER AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
THIS WEEK PROVES TO BE A LUCKY ONE FOR COLORADO.
DENVER IS HOSTING SIX MARCH MADNESS BASKETBALL GAMES.
LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU TO OUR TEAM.
WE HAVE PATTY CALHOUN FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.
TYRONE GLOVER AS WELL AS AMBER McREYNOLDS FORMER ELECTIONS FOR CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER AND CHRISTINE ROURKE.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
THE GAME OF POLITICS IS AT PLAY IN COLORADO.
NOT ONLY WITH WORK BEING DONE IN THE LEGISLATURE.
THE NEW DIRECTION FOR THE COLORADO GOP.
>> I THINK IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD DIRECTION FOR THE COLORADO PARTY.
WE HAD COLORADO HAD REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS.
WE HAD BILL OWENS.
THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY HAD REASONABLE PEOPLE IN THE LEADERSHIP WHICH WE ARE NOT SEEING NOW.
BY ELECTING DAVE WILLIAMS WE -- THEY ARE ELECTED THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN MAKE TINA PETERS REASONABLE.
HE WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THE ELECTION WAS FAIR.
WE ACCEPTED THAT COLORADO HAS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR ELECTIONS.
THIS GROUP LEADING THE PARTY IT WILL BECOME HARDER FOR THEM TO BE ELECTED, TO GET PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
IF THERE IS A SUCCESSFUL ELECTION TO NOT KEEP PRIMARIES IT WILL BECOME HARDER.
>> THAT'S WHEN SENATOR HICKENLOOPER FACES HIS FIRST REELECTION.
TYRONE WHAT WILLIAMS DOES NOW IS DEFINING.
>> IT IS REALLY DEFINING.
THE GOP HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH AND IDENTITY CRISIS.
IT HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN MODERATION AND RIGHT BACK TOWARDS THESE EXTREMIST REPUBLICANS.
A LOT OF TIME TO FINALLY GET THIS RIGHT.
I'M NOT NECESSARY OPTIMISTIC.
THERE WILL BE SOME REAL FEED BACK AND MAYBE WE WILL SEE SOMETHING MUCH DIFFERENT.
>> HE IS COMING ON BOARD AFTER BAD LOSSES FOR THE PARTY BACK IN NOVEMBER.
>> WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE THE RED WAVE.
THERE IS SOME FEED BACK THERE.
SWITCH GEARS NOW.
I'M NOT OPTIMISTIC THAT WILL HAPPEN.
MAYBE A FEW MORE L'S.
>> THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS STRONG HERE IN COLORADO.
THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE REGISTERED SEEMED TO BE GOING AWAY NOW.
>> IN COLORADO THERE HAS BEEN A HUGE SHIFT IN VOTERS TO THE UNAFFILIATED.
NOT JUST GOP VOTERS TO BECOME UNAFFILIATED.
GROWTH HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS.
THERE IS NOW 45% OF THE STATE IS INDEPENDENT.
THEY ARE POLITICALLY INDEPENDENT.
UNTIL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RECOGNIZES THAT SHIFT HAS HAPPENED AND ALSO THAT DEMOCRACY IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR VOTERS.
DEMOCRACY WAS A TOP ISSUE FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR VOTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF ALL POLITICAL PERSUASIONS.
THERE ARE STILL DISPROVEN FACTS OF THE PROCESS.
UNTIL THERE IS A SHIFT THERE, I DON'T THINK VOTERS WILL REACT NICELY TO THE PARTY IF IT CONTINUES DOWN THAT PATH.
>> WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS?
>> I THINK WE ARE MISSING THE BIGGER PICTURE HERE.
WHILE WE ARE FOCUSED ON THE DRAMA WHICH THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF DRAMA WITH THE GOP.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE FACT THAT DAVE WILLIAMS SERVED AS A STATE LAWMAKER FROM EL PASO COUNTY.
NOW HE HAS TO LEAD A STATEWIDE PARTY.
IN THE BUSINESS OF POLITICS HE HAS TO RAISE MONEY.
WE WILL SEE IF HE IS ABLE TO DO THAT WITH SOME OF THE EXTREME POSITIONS HE HAS TAKEN WITH THE DIVISION OF THE PARTY.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE THE DEMOCRATS ARE READY TO HAVE A RACE.
THEY ARE ALL RUNNING.
SOME OF THEM HAVE PORTRAYED THEM AS GRASSROOTS DRATS.
I KNOW -- AND THOSE TWO CANDIDATES KNOW THAT IT TAKES MONEY TO WIN OFFENSE.
AND SO, KNOWS A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF POLITICS.
WE WILL WATCH THAT RACE.
>> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR.
>> YES.
>> BECAUSE MORGAN CAROL IS STEPPING ASIDE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DENVER'S MAYOR RACE.
THE FIRST TO BOW OUT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2011 THERE WON'T BE AN INCUMBENT SEEKING THE TOP JOB.
TYRONE THE BALLOTS ARE OUT.
>> THE BALLOTS ARE OUT.
IT SEEMS LIKE -- WE KNOW AFTER COUNTLESS DEBATES, THERE IS STILL NOT A CLEAR FRONT RUNNER.
I THINK THE MOST FOLKS ARE TOPPING AT THESE DAYS IS AROUND 5%.
WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN UP AND RUNNING.
I THINK WHAT FOLKS IN DENVER ARE LOOKING FOR ARE MAYOR GOING TO COME FORWARD AND BE STRONG ON SOLUTIONS.
SOLUTION TO THE HOUSING CRISIS, TO UNHOUSE FOLKS AND GETTING SOME FORM OF SHELTER AND GUNS.
WE WILL SEE IF WHO BREAKS AWAY FROM THE PACK.
>> YOU ARE NOT SEEING ANYONE BREAK AWAY YET?
>> NOT YET.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THE TV ADS INUNDATING MY NIGHTLY TV PRIME WATCHING.
>> THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF ADS.
I'M CURIOUS IF CANDIDATES WILL GET OUT WITH THAT.
AMBER, YOU USED TO RUN ELECTIONS IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE THIS SEASON?
>> FIRST OFF, WE HAVE A LARGE POOL OF CANDIDATES.
ONE OF THE VOTING REFORMS THAT DENVER WITH BENEFIT FROM THIS MAKE SURE THAT THE WILL OF THE VOTERS.
THE PROCESS IS TO INSTITUTE RANK VOTING.
SAN FRANCISCO AS A NUMBER OF CITIES.
SEATTLE AND PORTLAND HAVE PASSED THIS INITIATIVE.
WHEN YOU HAVE A LARGE FIELD, A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE ARE LIKE, I LIKE THIS PERSON, I LIKE THIS PERSON.
MAYBE I LIKE THIS PERSON SECOND BEST.
CAN SAVE TAXPAYER MONEY BY CONSOLIDATING THE RACE.
THAT OFTEN PRODUCES A FAR GREATER OUTCOME FOR THE REPRESENTATIVE OF PEOPLE OF DENVER.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THE 9NEWS DEBATE THIS WEEK.
WHO AMONG YOU WOULD SUPPORT IT?
THERE WERE A FAIR NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT SUPPORTED RANKED VOTING.
>> CANDIDATES USED IT AND THE CITIES LOVE IT.
IT SAVES THEM CAMPAIGN MONEY TIME.
ALSO, IT IS A MORE POSITIVE WAY OF POLITICS.
YOU ARE ALSO ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO CHOOSE YOU SECOND OR CHOOSE YOU THIRD IF YOU ARE NOT THEIR FIRST CHOICE.
>> THERE IS ONE REPUBLICAN.
WE HAVEN'T HAD A REPUBLICAN MAYOR SINCE 1963.
DO YOU THINK ANDY WILL MAKE A SPLASH?
>> NO.
DID YOU WANT ME TO ELABORATE?
HE IS A TRADITIONAL REPUBLICAN.
I CAUGHT ONE OF HIS COMMERCIALS.
IT IS VERY TRADITIONAL MESSAGING.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE CITY OF DENVER.
10% OF THE REGISTERED VOTERED ARE REPUBLICANS.
MAYBE HE CAN ADD ON TO THAT, YOU ARE COMPETING WITH KELLY WHICH A LOT OF REPUBLICANS ARE SUPPORTING HER.
HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF PUTTING MONEY HERE.
HE HAS A MAJOR MARKET MEDIA BUY.
I DON'T SEE HIM MAKING THE RUNOFF.
THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNED THEIR CANDIDATES HAVEN'T MADE IT TO EVERY DEBATE.
I WOULD SAY THAT IS A MUTE POINT AT THIS JUNCTION.
IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR THEM.
WE WILL SEE HOW HE DOES.
>> THE BUSINESS OF POLITICS.
IT IS A BUSINESS TOO.
PATTY, YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS RACE?
>> JUST TO GO OFF OF ANDY.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE THAT SAID HE WOULD SERVE THREE TERMS.
EVERYONE GOT WE ARE TIRED OF THREE-TERM MAYORS.
MONEY IS AS IMPORTANT IN DENVER, MUNICIPAL RACE AS HAVING THE RIGHT MESSAGE.
A MESSAGE THAT CATCHES FIRE WITH PEOPLE.
WHAT WE ARE SEEING WITH THE 5% IS THAT NO ONE HAS A MESSAGE THAT HAS CAUGHT FIRE YET WITH THE VOTERS.
WE MIGHT SEE PEOPLE IDENTIFY THEMSELVES A LITTLE MORE STRONGLY.
YOU ARE NOT SEEING PEOPLE ENAM MERED WITH HICKENLOOPER.
WITH LONG SIGNS AND SOCIAL MEDIA YOU CAN GET AROUND HAVING TO PUT OUT BIG MONEY.
YOU NEED A GOOD MESSAGE.
>> MARCH IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.
WE COULD HAVE OUR FIRST WOMAN AS MAYOR.
THIS WEEK WE LOST PAT SH ROADER.
HERE IS A WOMAN WHO WAS CHALLENGED BY MEN AND HAD AN AMAZING CAREER AND SPOKE FOR SO MANY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
HER LEGACY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
SHE PAVED THE WAY FOR MANY GENERATIONS.
HER SUPPORT FOR EXPANSING WOMEN'S ACCESS.
PROGRESS HAS BEEN SLOW AND UNEVEN.
RIGHT NOW THE UNITED STATES RANKS 71st IN THE WORLD TIED WITH TRINIDAD AND BEHIND IRAQ IN WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION.
WE ARE 71st IN THE WORLD.
COLORADO AS A STATE IS 19th OF ALL STATES IN TERMS OF REPRESENT WOMEN'S RANKINGS.
AND SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
THOSE COUNTRIES THAT RANK BEFORE US, THEY HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE LIKE RANK CHOICE VOTING, LIKE REPRESENTATION, LIKE MONEY IN POLITICS REFORM.
THERE IS A LOT OF SYSTEM REFORMS THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT TO FURTHER ADVANCE AND EXPAND WOMEN'S REPRESENTATION.
>> 71st.
>> 71st IN THE WORLD.
>> CHRIS?
>> I DON'T THINK THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS IN COLORADO.
YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOK COMPANIES HAVE WOMEN ON THEIR BOARDS.
WE SAW, IN FACT, THE DENVER BUSINESS JOURNAL AT A TIME WHEN VENTURE CAPITAL WAS DROPPING IT WAS WOMEN WHO WAS RAISING MONEY FOR THEIR COMPANIES.
OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION IS SPLIT 50/50 WITH WOMEN AND MEN.
OUR LEGISLATURE IS 50% WOMEN.
TWO OUT OF FIVE STATEWIDE OFFICES HELD BY WOMEN.
THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE.
IT IS 40% OF WOMEN THAT HOLD OFFICE.
THERE IS ROOM FOR GROWTH THERE.
BUT I WOULD SAY THAT COLORADO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ELECT A WOMAN GOVERNOR IN 2020 AND CHOSE NOT TO.
>> I KNOW YOU KNEW HER FOR SO LONG.
>> IT IS NOT JUST ENOUGH TO BE A WOMEN POLITICIAN.
HOW ABOUT BEING A GREAT POLITICIAN IN GENERAL?
AND PAT WAS SO GOOD.
FIRST WOMEN ON THE ARMED FORCES COMMITTEE.
SHE HAD TO SHARE A CHAIR WITH THE FIRST BLACK.
WE FORGET WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN THE '70s WHEN SHE GOT INTO THIS GOOD OLD BOYS NETWORK.
SHE FOUGHT SMART AND HARD.
SHE WAS FIERCE AND FUNNY IN WASHINGTON.
WE CAN'T FORGET WHAT A GOOD JOB SHE DID HERE IN DENVER.
SHE HIRED A GREAT STAFF.
YOU KNEW IF YOU HAD A PROBLEM PEOPLE WENT TO PAT'S OFFICE AND THE STAFFERS TOOK CARE OF YOU.
SHE SPENT A SMILING NOTE TO EVERYONE.
SHE HAD A UTERUS AND A BRAIN.
WE TRADE PAT FOR LAUREN BOEBERT, THAT IS NOT A FAIR EXCHANGE.
SHE WAS GROUNDBREAKING AND SOMEONE TO CELEBRATE FOR DECADES TO COME.
>> TYRONE YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CITY OF DENVER.
THERE WAS A CAN-DO ATTITUDE.
THERE WAS A SENSE YOU WOULD HAVE A PLACE HERE IF YOU WERE WILLING TO DO THE WORK.
PAT I FELT HER ENERGY IN THE STATE.
>> I WONDER WHO IS OUT THERE NOW WHO MAY FOLLOW THE SAME KIND OF PATH.
NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE STATE CAPITOL.
IT HAS BEEN A BUSY, BUSY TIME.
AROUND 475 ITEMS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED.
A LOT ABOUT THE JOB TRAINING SCHOLARSHIP BILL.
>> THERE ARE TWO BILLS THAT WILL BE INTRODUCED.
THE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED IT IN A PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK.
ONE BILL WILL IMPLEMENT A ZERO COST TRAINING PROGRAM.
IT IS GOING TO IMPACT ABOUT 20,000 COLORADOANS.
IT WILL PROVIDE TRAINING IN AREAS SUCH AS EDUCATION AND FIRE FIGHTING AND FOREST SERVICE WORK.
ANOTHER BILL IS GOING TO PROVIDE $1,500 IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY.
IT IS FOR ANY KIND OF CONTINUING EDUCATION AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION IT IS TRULY BIPARTISAN.
A LOT OF TIMES WE TALK ABOUT BIPARTISAN GOING IN AND PERHAPS ONE PARTY PUSHING SOMETHING AND THEY GET ONE PERSON FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE AND THEY CALL IT BIPARTISAN.
HE WAS RANKED BY REPRESENTATIVE JULIAN.
IT WAS A DISPLAY WHERE YOU HAD MAJOR REPUBLICANS NAMES AND DEMOCRATS NAMES STANDING TOGETHER TO BRING FORTH THESE BILLS.
>> THAT IS GOOD.
>> I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS TO TALK ABOUT GUNS.
WHEN WE DID IT LAST WEEK.
WE INSPIRED A FILIBUSTER.
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOULDER KING SOOPERS SHOOTING NEXT WEEK ON MARCH 22nd.
WE ARE NOT HEARING MUCH ABOUT THE ASSAULT.
BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS PROPOSAL.
WE ARE SEEING PROGRESS ON RAISING THE AGE YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO BUY A GUN.
WE ARE LOOKING AT A LONGER WAITING PERIOD TO BUY A GUN.
HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING TO SET OFF THESE TROUBLED PEOPLE AND CAN WE STOP THEM BEFORE WE SEE ANOTHER MASS TRAGEDY, ANOTHER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INCIDENT.
WHERE CAN WE STOP IT?
WE NEED TO FIND OUT.
>> TYRONE THERE WERE DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ARE HERE.
THERE ARE SOME TALKING ABOUT DEFENSE AND SAFETY.
AND THE WAY WE TREAT SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE ACCUSED OF CRIMES.
>> ONE OF THE BILLS I'M FOLLOWING IS THE POLICE INTERROGATION BILL.
IT IS SEEKING TO INTRODUCE MORE INTEGRITY TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT TACTICS.
I CUT MY TEETH AS A JUVENILE PUBLIC DEFENDER.
IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PUNITIVE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REHABILITATIVE.
LOOKING AT OUR INVESTIGATIVE PRACTICES MAKING SURE THERE IS TRUST AND TRUTH BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
MANY OF THOSE PARENTS WHEN THE CHILD GETS IN TROUBLE, THEY ARE LOOKING TO PROBATION OFFICERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT TO GET THEIR LOVED ONE BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
WE NEED TRUST, WE NEED TRUTH.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT PEOPLE'S BACKGROUND AND WHERE THEY COME FROM AND SOME OF THE LESSONS AND THINGS THEY EXPERIENCED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THERE IS A LENS THEY ARE PROPOSING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS IT IS NOT LIKE A REASONABLE ANY CHILD OFF OF THE STREET.
IT IS, I THINK, INTERESTING BILL THAT IS GOING TO INTRODUCE MORE INTEGRITY LAW ENFORCEMENT TACTICS AND HOPEFULLY DOES WELL IN THE SENATE.
>> WHAT ELSE ARE YOU WATCHING?
>> FIRST, AS UNAFFILIATED VOTER, I ACTUALLY LOVE SEEING THE BIPARTISAN AND THE BILLS THAT DO PRIORITIZE SOLUTIONS, PRIORITIZE ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGING BEFORE US WHETHER THAT IS ON SAFETY, EDUCATION, OR HEALTH CARE.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE THAT ENERGY IN COLORADO.
THAT IS NOT THE CASE IN A LOT OF PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE I WORK.
ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES I THINK IS IMPORTANT, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME TO DO IT.
ONE OF THE STATE SENATORS, JEFF BRIDGES WAS LOOKING AT THIS ISSUE.
WITH COLORADO'S BILL AND COLORADO LAW WE HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL PROCESS.
WE HAVE A LARGE POOL OF CANDIDATES LIKE WE DID IN 2020 MIGHT SEE THAT AGAIN.
WE SAW IT IN 2016 AS WELL BEFORE WE HAD THE OPEN PRIMARY.
WHEN YOU ARE ON THE CALENDAR WHERE WE ARE CANDIDATES DROP OUT.
VOTERS TURN THEIR BALLOT IN AND LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO VOTE BECAUSE THEIR BALLOT GETS NOT COUNTED IN THAT PROCESS.
I THINK RANK CHOICE VOTING WOULD BE AN EM MENACE IMPROVEMENT.
IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET THAT DONE THIS YEAR.
>> I REMEMBER YOU SAID YOU EXPECTED TO BE INTRODUCED.
WHY ISN'T IT BEEN INTRODUCED?
>> THERE ARE CHALLENGES WITH THE COUNTY CLERKS AND SECRETARY STATE.
THE GOOD THING OUR SYSTEM HERE IS RCV READY THERE WOULD BE MODIFICATIONS HOW RESULTS WILL GET REPORTED.
IT IS MORE OF A TIMING CONCERN BY AN ADMINISTRATOR LEVEL.
>> THE GOOD AND BAD THAT STARTED DURING THE WEEK.
STARTING WITH THE BAD AND FINISHING WITH THE GOOD.
>> AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE DEPOSITION ON THE LAWSUITS AGAINST FOX IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION.
THE DEVELOPERS OF THE HILL GOLF COURSE.
A LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST THEM BY THE SISTERS OF COLOR.
WE HAVE A RIGHT TO SEE WHAT IS IN THOSE DEPOSITIONS ESPECIALLY BEFORE THE ELECTIONS.
>> TYRONE?
>> I'M GOING WITH THE WEATHER.
I'M READY TO SIT IN THE PARK WITH A NICE COLD DRINK.
>> I THINK WE ARE ALL.
HE WAS DOING AN AMAZING TRICK ON HIS SNOWBOARD.
WHAT KIND OF SET YOU OFF THAT WASN'T GREAT TO SEE THIS WEEK, AMBER?
>> I'M GOING TO SAY -- I DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND FOR LOTS OF SPORTS ACTIVITIES.
I TAKE A NUMBER OF KIDS ALONG WITH.
SO WHAT I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE LAST PROBABLY COUPLE OF MONTHS.
DRIVERS ARE PARTICULARLY AGGRESSIVE AROUND RUSH HOUR OR AFTER.
I GUESS I WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BE CONSIDERATE THOSE OF US DRIVING KIDS AROUND ALL OVER THE CITY WITH LOTS OF ACTIVITIES TO BE CAUTIOUS AND THOUGHTFUL AND NOT AS AGGRESSIVE BECAUSE THERE IS LOTS OF KIDS IN THESE CARS.
>> THE RED LIGHT RUNNERS, I FEEL LIKE -- THERE IS A RED LIGHT RUNNER.
CHRIS?
>> I'M GOING TO TAKE THE TIME CHANGE.
I'VE BEEN A HALF BEHIND.
I HOPE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED.
I NOTICE THERE IS EFFORTS UNDERWAY TO KEEP THE TIME THE SAME.
I WOULD BE ALL FOR THAT.
MY BODY DOESN'T ADJUST AS WELL AS IT USED TO.
I DO APPRECIATE AN HOUR EXTRA SUNLIGHT WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK.
THE TIME CHANGE WAS BAD.
>> THE TIME CHANGE AND THE WEATHER.
IT HAS BEEN A WEEK.
THERE HAS BEEN GOOD STUFF.
>> THERE IS.
THIS IS A STORY I FOLLOWED FOR A LONG TIME.
WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO WRITE A WRONG, YOU SHOULD WRITE THE WRONG BUT YOU SHOULD GET IT RIGHT.
AT THE LAST SECOND THE FEDS POSTPONED RENAMING MOUNT EVANS.
THEY OBJECT TO THE NAME THEY CHOSEN.
YOU NEED TO CONSULT THE PEOPLE WHO TRULY SUFFERED BEFORE YOU PUT A WHITE MAN'S NAME.
>> TYRONE.
>> WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATION.
CELEBRATED OUR BLACK WOMEN JUDGES IN 2019, THERE WAS A DEFICIENCY OF DIVERSE JUDGES ON OUR BENCH.
THERE WAS A CALL TO THE LEGAL COMMUNITY.
IT WAS BLACK WOMEN LAWYERS IN COLORADO WHO ANSWERED THAT CALL.
FROM 2019 FORWARD, I THINK 12 OF THE 15 SITTING BLACK WOMEN JUDGES WERE APPOINTED.
SO THEY ANSWERED THAT CALL.
THERE WAS A MONUMENTAL EFFORT.
WE GOT RECOGNITION FROM ESSENCE MAGAZINE.
>> THANKS FOR SHARING.
>> I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GET THEIR BALLOTS IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THAT HELPS THE ELECTION OFFICE.
ALSO, LET'S GET A NICE HIGH TURNOUT FOR THE MAIL IN BALLOT FOR MAYOR.
>> I WAS GOING TO PICK 35BISON.
IN A SEA OF CU BUFF HERE IN COLORADO.
IT IS SO NICE TO FIND A FELLOW ALUMNI.
>> YOU ARE A BUFF?
YOU ARE A BUFF.
THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING AT HOME.
WE APPRECIATE YOU FOR BEING INVOLVED EVERY WEEK IN OUR CONVERSATIONS.
YOU CAN CATCH THIS SHOW OR SHARE IT ANY TIME.
YOU ARE GOING TO DISCOVER THOSE RUNNING FOR MAYOR.
I DEFINITELY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK IT OUT.
I'M KYLE DYER, THANKS FOR WATCHING HERE ON PBS12.
