Kyle Clark's Debate
Or Kirkmeyer's Campaign Event?
How 9News Turned a Republican Gubernatorial Forum Into Something Far Less Than a Debate
 |
| Not Actual Candidates |
What Colorado voters watched was a media-managed event in which two candidates were subjected to prosecutorial cross-examination while a third was handed a platform. Before a single candidate spoke a word of substance, the outcome of the evening had already been shaped - not by the candidates, but by the moderators.
This is a documented account of what happened, grounded in the transcript of the event. Readers are encouraged to watch the full debate and read the complete transcript and reach their own conclusions.
First, What Is an Actual Debate?
Before examining what happened at the Cable Center, it is worth establishing what a debate actually is - because the word carries specific meaning that extends well beyond a group of people sharing a stage.
According to the Brookings Institution, a debate is "structured, civil discussion" that involves at least two opposing sides to an issue, focuses on substance, features time limits for each side, and compels speakers to persuade an audience. The English-Speaking Union describes debate this way: "Each side is given equal time to build their case, respect is the order of the day, and listening is just as important as speaking. Every speaker will have exactly the same amount of time to deliver their case."
Canada's Leaders' Debates Commission - a government-established body with a formal mandate to set standards for political debate moderation - is equally clear on the moderator's role: a moderator must "formulate and pose questions in a neutral way, does not express an opinion or frame a question to the leaders in an opinionated or partisan way" and must recognize that "the debate focus and attention is on the leaders." As U.S. News & World Report put it plainly: "The moderator should, like a referee in a prize fight, enforce the rules and stay out of the way."
The key elements of a legitimate debate are:
- Equal time, strictly and impartially enforced
- Neutral questions, not pre-loaded with editorial conclusions
- A moderator who facilitates - not one who argues, editorializes, or prosecutes
- Identical standards of scrutiny for all participants
- No preferential treatment in follow-up opportunities, interjection rights, or tone
By every one of these standards, what 9News presented on June 2nd was not a debate. It was a joint press conference with selective prosecution - and one candidate was notably exempt from that prosecution.
The Framing Before a Word Was Spoken
Bias in media events often reveals itself before the first question is asked. This event was no exception.
In the opening segment, 9News anchor Kyle Clark introduced the three candidates. The contrast in language was immediate and striking:
Barb Kirkmeyer was described as "a traditional conservative with decades of deep experience in government."
Scott Bottoms was described as someone who has "brought a MAGA no-compromises style to the Capitol."
Victor Marx was described as "a political newcomer making extraordinary claims about his work as a so-called high-risk missionary overseas."
Read those three descriptions again. One candidate received a résumé. One received a political label. One received a preemptive credibility challenge - the phrase "so-called" inserted before his professional identity, and the word "extraordinary" used not as a compliment but as a signal of doubt.
The debate had not yet begun, and one candidate had already been framed as suspect.
The Prosecutorial Treatment of Victor Marx
Throughout the evening, Marx was subjected to a sustained, multi-part line of questioning that resembled a deposition more than a debate. At one point, Clark laid out the following in a single question:
"Your campaign website falsely claimed that you had rescued more than 45,000 women and children. You won't say what the real number is but you blamed the website builder. Your social media account falsely claimed you've gone on more than 130 rescue missions. You won't say what the real number is but you blamed your media agency. You sent out mailers falsely claiming to be a retired Marine. You blamed the printing vendor. Your campaign finance filing was such a mess you had to refile the whole thing and you blamed a young math teacher working with your campaign."
Whether the underlying facts are accurate or not is beside the point for purposes of this analysis. The point is the format. That is not a debate question. That is a prosecutorial brief - a pre-assembled case presented as a question. No other candidate in the evening received anything approaching that treatment.
When Marx attempted to respond, Clark pressed again: "What should voters make of the fact that your teams make such fundamental errors about core issues of who you are?" - a question with its conclusion already baked in.
The Treatment of Scott Bottoms
Bottoms fared somewhat better than Marx, but the moderators' approach to him was notably more combative than their approach to Kirkmeyer.
When challenging Bottoms on claims about Tren de Aragua gang members in Colorado, Clark stated - on live television, in the middle of the event - "Sir, that's not how math and logic work." He then told Bottoms: "You failed successfully already at the state legislature getting no support on your bills on similar issues."
When discussing Bottoms' legislative record, Clark framed the question this way: "You also say that you will not compromise... it also means you don't get anything done. Is that how you'll lead as Governor?"
That is not a question. That is an editorial opinion with a question mark appended to it.
Clark also challenged Bottoms' record directly: "In four years you sponsored 20 bills. Only one passed and became law and it was a commemorative license plate." Whether accurate or not, the framing - "you don't get anything done" - was the moderator's editorial conclusion, not a neutral prompt for candidate response.
Kirkmeyer's Very Different Evening
Now compare the treatment of the third candidate.
Kirkmeyer's toughest question of the night was essentially: "You've been in government for decades and haven't been able to stop Democrats - how do you explain that?" That is a fair question. It is also an invitation to explain her strengths, which she accepted at length.
She was never subjected to a multi-count pre-assembled indictment of her record. She was never told her math and logic were wrong. She was never handed an editorial conclusion attached to a question about her qualifications.
More telling: Kirkmeyer interrupted other candidates' answers multiple times throughout the evening and was consistently allowed to do so without the same redirection that Marx and Bottoms received when they ran long or spoke out of turn.
At one point, Kirkmeyer turned to Clark and said, in apparent irritation: "What's your name again? Marshall. Mine's Barb. Okay." - a remarkably rude remark directed at a moderator on live television. Clark's response was to move smoothly on, as though nothing had happened. There was no pushback, no redirect, no moment of friction.
It is worth asking: would that exchange have passed without comment if Marx or Bottoms had said it?
A Pattern, Not a Coincidence
Taken individually, each of these moments might be explainable. Taken together, they form a pattern:
Marx - Multi-count prosecutorial questions / Interruptions penalized / Time strictly enforced
Bottoms - Editorially framed challenges / Interruptions penalized / Time strictly enforced
Kirkmeyer - Invited to explain strengths / Interruptions allowed / Time relaxed
This is not hard-hitting journalism applied equally. This is asymmetric scrutiny — and asymmetric scrutiny in a format billed as a debate is not journalism. It is influence.
The Conflict of Interest Nobody Discusses
Media-hosted political debates carry an inherent conflict of interest that rarely receives open examination. The outlet controls the format, selects the moderators, sets the rules, and broadcasts the result - all while holding its own editorial preferences about candidates and outcomes.
Kyle Clark is one of the most prominent and well-known figures in Colorado political media. He has covered the statehouse for years. He is described as both the most admired and most reviled figure in local media - some viewers consider him a trusted, hard-hitting journalist, while others perceive him as biased or overly antagonistic. He previously went viral for moderating a debate featuring Republican candidates for Colorado's 4th Congressional District, where he repeatedly cut off candidates who gave waffling answers.
His colleague Marshall Zelinger co-moderated this event. Both Clark and Zelinger have been noted for regularly interacting on social media with political activists.
Barb Kirkmeyer is, by any measure, the establishment candidate in this race - a decades-long fixture of Colorado Republican government circles, the kind of candidate that institutional media is most familiar and comfortable with. Marx and Bottoms, whatever their individual strengths and weaknesses, are outsiders to that world.
That comfort and familiarity - whether conscious or not - has consequences for how questions are framed, how time is managed, and how rudeness is handled.
What This Was, and What It Was Not
This article does not argue that Victor Marx or Scott Bottoms are the superior candidates. It does not defend any claim either man made during the evening. Fact-checking is a legitimate journalistic function, and candidates who make public claims should expect those claims to be examined.
What this article argues is simpler: if fact-checking and scrutiny are going to be applied, they must be applied equally. A format in which two candidates are cross-examined and one is given a platform is not a debate. It is not journalism. It is, at minimum, the appearance of a thumb on the scale - and at maximum, something rather more deliberate than that.
Colorado voters deserved better. They deserved an actual debate - equal time, neutral questions, consistent scrutiny, and a moderator whose job ends at facilitation.
What they got was a spectacle. And one candidate walked out of it having never been asked a hard question.

31:1731 minutes, 17 seconds - I LOVE IMMIGRATION WHEN IT'S LEGAL AND I THINK THE BURDEN THAT IMMIGRATION IS PUT ON US IS PART OF THE ISSUE
31:2631 minutes, 26 seconds - OF AFFORDABILITY. OVER 1.4 BILLION IS SPENT.
31:3031 minutes, 30 seconds - I THINK WE CAN WORK WITH THE FEDS FOR PROPER LAW ENFORCEMENT WHILE STILL SHOWING COMPASSION TO THOSE IN NEED.
31:3931 minutes, 39 seconds - BUT AS GOVERNOR WHAT I'LL DO IS I HAVE A SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO WORK WITH THEM AND GO AFTER THE CRIMINALS, THE ONES THAT ARE HERE.
31:4731 minutes, 47 seconds - WE'LL GET THEM. MR. BOTTOMS.
31:4931 minutes, 49 seconds - YEAH. >> THE GOVERNOR DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOBILIZE THE NATIONAL GUARD.
31:5331 minutes, 53 seconds - I WILL DO THAT. UH, SPECIFICALLY AGAINST THE VENEZUELAN CARTEL IN AURORA .
31:5831 minutes, 58 seconds - WE WILL ALSO WE CAN USE POLICE FORCES.
32:0132 minutes, 1 secondWE CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS LIKE THAT.
32:0232 minutes, 2 seconds - WE CAN ACTUALLY, UM, ENGAGE SPECIAL FORCES THAT ARE ACTIVE DUTY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE PRESIDENT ARTICLE 32. SO THERE'S A LOT OF OPTIONS WE
32:1132 minutes, 11 seconds - HAVE BUT WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ISSUE AND THE CRIME AND MAKE SURE THESE PEOPLE ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
32:1632 minutes, 16 seconds - >> MISS KIRKMEYER, WOULD YOU SEEK TO ROLL BACK WHAT THE COLORADO HAS DONE TO LIMIT COOPERATION WITH FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT? I WOULD SEEK TO ROLL THAT BACK.
32:2332 minutes, 23 seconds - UM, AND IT'S A STATUTORY PROVISION AND IT GOES EVEN FURTHER THAN JUST LAW ENFORCEMENT.
32:2732 minutes, 27 seconds - SO I WOULD SEEK TO ROLL THAT BACK BECAUSE THERE'S CLEARLY A CONFLICT BETWEEN STATE LAW AND FEDERAL LAW. YEAH. SO YES.
32:3332 minutes, 33 seconds - AND WOULD YOU TRY TO DEPUTIZE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO HELP OUT?
32:3632 minutes, 36 seconds - UM FIRST OF ALL THAT'S NOT MY ROLE TO DEPUTIZE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY'RE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT THEY WOULD.
32:4232 minutes, 42 seconds - >> YOU DO THAT FOR COLORADO STATE PATROL?
32:4432 minutes, 44 seconds - IT WOULD DEPEND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE CONTINUING WITH THEIR JOB AND THAT THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH ICE AND WORK WITH THE FEDERAL
32:5132 minutes, 51 seconds - GOVERNMENT ON MATTERS OF KEEPING US SAFE. SO YES, I WOULD LOOK AT.
32:5532 minutes, 55 seconds - THAT CONTINUING THE SHORT ANSWER, MR. BOTTOMS, IF ELECTED WOULD YOU SEEK TO WITHHOLD STATE FUNDING FROM SO-CALLED SANCTUARY CITIES WHICH OFTEN HAVE STRICT LIMITS ON
33:0333 minutes, 3 seconds - COOPERATION WITH FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT?
33:0433 minutes, 4 seconds - YEAH, I'LL DEFINITELY WITHHOLD FUNDS. SANCTUARY CITIES SANCTUARY STATES NOT CONSTITUTIONAL. IT'S ILLEGAL.
33:1033 minutes, 10 seconds - SO WE MIGHT NEED TO PUT SOME MAYORS IN JAIL IN THE PROCESS AND SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE REALLY OUTSIDE THE LINES CONSTITUTIONALLY THIS IS NOT OKAY TO GO AGAINST FEDERAL LAW.
33:1833 minutes, 18 seconds - HOW WOULD YOU PUT A MAYOR IN JAIL?
33:1933 minutes, 19 seconds - UM, YOU CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SAY PUT THEM IN JAIL. MISS KIRKMEYER. OKAY, I'M NOT DOING THAT.
33:2633 minutes, 26 seconds - WOULD YOU SEEK. TO WITHHOLD FUNDING FROM SO-CALLED SANCTUARY CITIES? YES I WOULD I WOULD PROBABLY
33:3433 minutes, 34 seconds - CONSIDER THAT BUT I'M NOT SURE WHICH FUNDING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY AS GOVERNOR TO WITHHOLD, UH, FEDERAL FUNDING FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
33:4233 minutes, 42 seconds - THAT'S NOT IN MY ROLE AS A GOVERNOR.
33:4433 minutes, 44 seconds - >> THERE ARE GRANTS THAT WE'VE SEEN RECENTLY WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION.
33:4733 minutes, 47 seconds - THERE ARE CERTAIN GRANTS THAT CITIES AND COUNTIES CAN APPLY FOR THAT THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR WOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER.
33:5233 minutes, 52 seconds - I WOULD CONSIDER IT. BUT I ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THOSE COMMUNITIES WHETHER IT'S THE COUNTY OR A PENALTY, THOSE ARE MY CONSTITUENTS AS WELL.
33:5933 minutes, 59 seconds - AND JUST BECAUSE MAYBE THEIR LEADERSHIP DOESN'T HAVE IT RIGHT OR BECAUSE THERE IS A STATE LAW THAT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY SHOULD BE JEOPARDIZED AND NOT
34:0734 minutes, 7 seconds - GET THE SERVICES AND THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY DESERVE TO GET.
34:1034 minutes, 10 seconds - >> SO YOU WOULD DISAGREE WITH THE POLICY BUT YOU LET THE MONEY CONTINUE TO.
34:1234 minutes, 12 seconds - FLOW DEPENDS ON WHERE IT WAS GOING. YES. MR. MARKS.
34:1534 minutes, 15 seconds - WELL IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FEDERAL FUNDING I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT HE'S. NOT HE'S TALKING ABOUT FUNDING.
34:2234 minutes, 22 seconds - >> I ASKED AID FUNDING FUNDING THAT.
34:2434 minutes, 24 seconds - >> YOU WOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER AS GOVERNOR.
34:2534 minutes, 25 seconds - WELL I THINK WE GOT A SORRY NO I APPRECIATE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT?
34:3334 minutes, 33 seconds - YES. THE QUESTION THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES IF THE GOVERNOR HAS CONTROL BECAUSE THAT IS
34:4134 minutes, 41 seconds - TAXPAYERS MONEY AND I KNOW MORE COLORADANS OUT THERE THAT ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE SANCTUARY CITY POLICIES. IN THIS KIRKMEYER WELL.
34:5134 minutes, 51 seconds - >> I WOULD JUST LIKE A FOLLOW UP.
34:5334 minutes, 53 seconds - SO UM I WAS A COUNTY COMMISSIONER DURING COVID AND ACTUALLY JARED POLIS GOVERNOR POLIS TOLD THE WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THAT HE WAS GOING TO WITHHOLD GRANT FUNDS OR WITHHOLD DOLLARS FROM US.
35:0135 minutes, 1 secondHE DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHICH FUNDS THOSE WERE, BUT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO AND WE WENT AFTER HIM ON THAT.
35:0635 minutes, 6 seconds - IT'S BECAUSE WE SAID WE WOULD NOT ENFORCE HIS POLICIES, HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER AND SO WE WENT AFTER HIM ON THAT.
35:1135 minutes, 11 seconds - THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THESE COMMUNITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE, STILL DESERVE TO HAVE THOSE GRANTS AND STILL DESERVE TO HAVE THOSE PROGRAMS BECAUSE
35:2035 minutes, 20 seconds - THEY ARE TAXPAYERS AND THAT IS WHERE THE DOLLARS ARE COMING FROM.
35:2335 minutes, 23 seconds - SO THE GOVERNOR SHOULDN'T BE SO SHORTSIGHTED THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO PROVIDE THAT TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN OUR STATE REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY LIVE AND WHO'S IN CHARGE. >> THANK YOU, MISS KIRKMEYER. THANK YOU.
35:3135 minutes, 31 seconds - >> MR. MARKS.
35:3235 minutes, 32 seconds - GOVERNOR JARED POLIS IS COLORADO'S FIRST JEWISH GOVERNOR.
35:3535 minutes, 35 seconds - YOU ARE RUNNING A CAMPAIGN THAT EXPLICITLY CALLS FOR A RETURN TO CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP.
35:4035 minutes, 40 seconds - YOU TELL CHURCH CROWDS THAT YOUR CAMPAIGN IS AN ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD AND PART OF A SPIRITUAL WAR.
35:4635 minutes, 46 seconds - YOU TOLD ME LAST WEEK IF ELECTED, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM EXORCISMS OF A SORT WHERE YOU COMMAND DEMONS TO BE CAST OFF OF PEOPLE WHAT YOU
35:5335 minutes, 53 seconds - CALL THE SECRET SAUCE OF YOUR $7 MILLION A YEAR MINISTRY QUESTION TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU THINK CHURCH AND STATE SHOULD BE SEPARATE AND WHAT WOULD IT
36:0136 minutes, 1 secondMEAN FOR COLORADANS TO, AS YOU SAY, PUT GODLY LEADERSHIP BACK INTO THE CAPITOL? WELL GOD, I'M STARTING TO
36:0936 minutes, 9 seconds - BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT A REPUBLICAN BUT. IT'S YOUR TIME.
36:1436 minutes, 14 seconds - YOU CAN USE IT HOWEVER YOU LIKE, BUT I'D PREFER THAT YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO RETURN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP TO COLORADO.
36:2036 minutes, 20 seconds - OR RETURN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP VERSUS MAKE IN A STATE CHRISTIAN ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS I BELIEVE SEPARATION
36:2736 minutes, 27 seconds - OF CHURCH AND STATE AS ORIGINALLY ATTENDED BY OUR FOUNDERS WAS TO KEEP.
36:3536 minutes, 35 seconds - THE PEOPLE OF FAITH OUT OF PUBLIC OFFICE BUT IT WAS TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR FAITH WHETHER IT'S CHRISTIAN,
36:4436 minutes, 44 seconds - JEWISH, MUSLIM OR ATHEIST. I'VE WORKED WITH MUSLIMS, SUNNI
36:5136 minutes, 51 seconds - ,SHIA CHRISTIANS, JEWISH PEOPLE. I'VE WORKED WITH ALL TYPE OF FAITH AND AS GOVERNOR I'M A MAN OF THE LAW.
36:5936 minutes, 59 seconds - BUT MY FAITH ABSOLUTELY GIVES ME THE MORAL CODE TO DO WHAT I DO AND THE BACKBONE TO MAKE
37:0637 minutes, 6 seconds - THE HARD DECISIONS IN SPITE OF FEAR OF MAN. MR. MARCUS THANK YOU, MR. BOTTOMS.
37:1237 minutes, 12 seconds - WHILE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC OF RELIGION AND POLITICS, YOU SAID THAT YOU ARE DEEPLY HONORED TO HAVE THE ENDORSEMENT OF YOUR GOOD FRIEND JOE ALTMAN, THE MAGA PODCASTER WHO HAS
37:2137 minutes, 21 seconds - CALLED FOR THE EXECUTION BY HANGING OF COLORADO'S GOVERNOR ,ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SECRETARY OF STATE WHO HE CALLS SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN JEWS.
37:3037 minutes, 30 seconds - YOU SAID THAT MR. ALTMAN WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT GOVERNOR HIMSELF AND YOU ENDORSED HIS FAILED RUN TO BECOME THE COLORADO REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIRMAN.
37:3737 minutes, 37 seconds - DO YOU ALSO BELIEVE THAT COLORADO'S GOVERNOR, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SECRETARY OF STATE SHOULD BE ARRESTED, TRIED AND HANGED?
37:4437 minutes, 44 seconds - AND DO YOU ALSO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN JEWS?
37:4837 minutes, 48 seconds - UH, JOE ALTMAN AND I DISAGREE VERY STRONGLY ON THE NATION OF ISRAEL VERY, VERY STRONGLY. THIS IS OUR BIGGEST DIVIDING POINT.
37:5637 minutes, 56 seconds - UH, WE'VE GONE AROUND AND AROUND ABOUT IT.
37:5837 minutes, 58 seconds - I DON'T I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE AT ALL.
38:0238 minutes, 2 seconds - IN FACT, UH, I THINK AS A PASTOR I'VE ALWAYS BACKED THAT .
38:0638 minutes, 6 seconds - I BELIEVE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO, UH, BLESS ISRAEL OR YOU'LL BE CURSED IF YOU CURSES WRONG.
38:1238 minutes, 12 seconds - SO I STAND STRONGLY WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
38:1538 minutes, 15 seconds - I ALSO, UM, DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE INDICTMENTS COMING DOWN PRETTY SOON FOR SECRETARY OF STATE GRISWOLD AND ATTORNEY
38:2338 minutes, 23 seconds - GENERAL WEISER. SOME OF THIS WAS INCLUDING GOVERNOR POLIS.
38:2738 minutes, 27 seconds - I DON'T THINK HE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM BEING JEWISH.
38:2938 minutes, 29 seconds - I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THEM BEING CORRUPT.
38:3338 minutes, 33 seconds - UM, AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR SEDITION.
38:3638 minutes, 36 seconds - SO AND THAT WE SAW HER GO AFTER GRISWOLD, GO AFTER TRUMP TO ACTUALLY BE ON THE BALLOT. SO SYNAGOGUE OF JEWS NO I CAN'T GET BEHIND THAT STATEMENT.
38:4438 minutes, 44 seconds - SO JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING YOU YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE INSIDER INFORMATION THAT THERE WILL BE A FEDERAL SEDITION INDICTMENT AGAINST
38:5338 minutes, 53 seconds - COLORADO SECRETARY OF STATE AND ATTORNEY GENERAL SEDITION BEING A CHARGE PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.
38:5838 minutes, 58 seconds - I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES. >> TREASON.
39:0139 minutes, 1 secondUH, AND THE DIDN'T THE INDICTMENTS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO COME DOWN AROUND MID UH SUMMER.
39:0539 minutes, 5 seconds - THERE'S ALSO FOR OTHER INVESTIGATIONS. YOU SHARE YOUR GOOD FRIEND YOUR OLDMAN'S VIEW THAT THEY SHOULD BE TRIED AND IF CONVICTED EXECUTED.
39:1339 minutes, 13 seconds - UH NO I I I'M NOT AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY.
39:1739 minutes, 17 seconds - I'M I'M STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THE DEATH PENALTY.
39:2039 minutes, 20 seconds - UM, BUT FROM THE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE CONVERSATIONS I HAVE, I DON'T THINK THAT IT WARRANTS THAT LEVEL. AND LAST QUESTION ON THIS IF YOU'RE ELECTED GOVERNOR, WOULD
39:2839 minutes, 28 seconds - MR. COLEMAN HAVE A ROLE IN YOUR ADMINISTRATION?
39:3039 minutes, 30 seconds - UM, ASSUMING IT'S NOT AROUND JEWISH PEOPLE? UH. NOT PROBABLY.
39:3739 minutes, 37 seconds - I THINK SOME FOLKS ARE GOING TO FIND THAT FUNNIER THAN OTHERS.
39:3939 minutes, 39 seconds - MARSHALL, LET'S TURN TO THE ISSUE OF TAXES IN THE STATE BUDGET, WHICH HAS A $1.5 BILLION SHORTFALL. MISS KIRKMEYER, YOU'RE WELL
39:4739 minutes, 47 seconds - VERSED IN THE BUDGET BEING ON THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE, YOU SUPPORT A POTENTIAL BALLOT ISSUE THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE STATE TO SPEND ABOUT $700 MILLION A YEAR ON ROADS.
39:5539 minutes, 55 seconds - VOTERS HAVE ALREADY TOLD LAWMAKERS TO SPEND 350 MILLION ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.
39:5939 minutes, 59 seconds - SO AT WHAT POINT DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL VOTERS THE TRUTH THAT LOCKING UP GENERAL FUND DOLLARS IN ONE PLACE MEANS CUTS TO AREAS LIKE K-12 EDUCATION OR MEDICAID?
40:1040 minutes, 10 seconds - WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I, UM, GOT STUCK ON YOUR WORDS.
40:1340 minutes, 13 seconds - WHAT WHAT POINT DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I TELL VOTERS THE TRUTH?
40:1640 minutes, 16 seconds - I'VE ALWAYS TOLD VOTERS THE TRUTH AND I'VE TOLD THEM THE TRUTH WITH REGARD TO EVERY TIME THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE AFTER TABOR OR TAXPAYERS BILL OF RIGHTS.
40:2440 minutes, 24 seconds - UM, FOR EXAMPLE, I CO-CHAIRED THE NO UNH CAMPAIGN SO I WILL TELL THEM THE TRUTH AND THE ISSUE WITH OUR BUDGET ISN'T THAT WE HAVE A $1.5 BILLION SHORTFALL.
40:3340 minutes, 33 seconds - WE HAVE A STRUCTURAL DEFICIT.
40:3440 minutes, 34 seconds - SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW, WHEN THE PARENTS GIVE THE KIDS THE CREDIT CARDS AND THEY OVERSPEND AND THEY MAXED OUT THE CREDIT CARDS IN OUR CASE THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE KIDS
40:4240 minutes, 42 seconds - AND THEY'VE OVERSPENT SO WE DON'T HAVE A REVENUE ISSUE.
40:4540 minutes, 45 seconds - WE HAVE A SPENDING ISSUE AND WE HAVE PRIOR TO PRIORITIZE EDUCATION BECAUSE IT'S A MANDATE IN THE CONSTITUTION AND I WOULD CONTINUE WITH THAT.
40:5440 minutes, 54 seconds - BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN ON THE JOINT BUDGET COMMITTEE IS THE GOVERNOR COMES IN WITH A BUDGET REQUEST THAT IS NOT BALANCED AND THEN I HAVE TO SIT
41:0241 minutes, 2 seconds - THERE AND FIGHT WITH DEMOCRATS FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS TO GET IT INTO LINE. AND WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHERE OUR PRIORITIES ARE AND THEY LIKE TO GO OFF AND SPEND MONEY
41:1141 minutes, 11 seconds - ON THINGS THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE SPENDING MONEY ON BASICALLY THAT ARE NOT CORE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT.
41:1541 minutes, 15 seconds - JUST REAL QUICKLY WHY DID IT BECOME A SPENDING PROBLEM IF YOU'RE LOCKING UP SOME MONEY OVER HERE AND YOU CAN'T TOUCH THAT, ISN'T THAT A SPENDING PROBLEM?
41:2241 minutes, 22 seconds - NO IT'S NOT AND IN FACT WHEN UM PROPOSITION WAS AT 130 WAS PASSED THAT SAID $350 MILLION
41:2941 minutes, 29 seconds - WOULD HAVE TO GO IF OUR GENERAL FUND MONEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE RECRUITMENT, TRAINING AND RETENTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
41:3741 minutes, 37 seconds - I WAS THE ONE WHO MARSHALED THAT BILL THROUGH EVERYBODY SAID OH MY GOD, THIS IS GOING TO KILL OUR BUDGET. WE CAN'T DO THIS. WE DID DO IT.
41:4341 minutes, 43 seconds - WE FOUND A WAY TO DO IT AND IT SIMPLY GOES BACK TO WE HAVE REVENUES COMING IN, WE HAVE FUNDING. IT'S A SPENDING PROBLEM AND THERE'S A CRISIS OF PRIORITIES.
41:5341 minutes, 53 seconds - >> THANK YOU, MR. KIRKMEYER. SURE.
41:5441 minutes, 54 seconds - MR. BOTTOMS, YOU'RE CALLING FOR COLORADO TO ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES WHICH EXCLUSIVELY FUND LOCAL SERVICES LIKE SCHOOLS AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITALS, COUNTY ROADS AND BRIDGES.
42:0242 minutes, 2 seconds - THIS WOULD CREATE A MORE THAN $15 BILLION BUDGET GAP.
42:0542 minutes, 5 seconds - BUT YOU HAVE SAID THAT COLORADO COULD ACTUALLY RECOUP $20 BILLION BY ENDING TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION,
42:1242 minutes, 12 seconds - TRANSGENDER SURGERIES QUOTE UNQUOTE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ABORTIONS WHICH FEELS REDUNDANT AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PROGRAMS AND PLANS.
42:1942 minutes, 19 seconds - SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO FOLKS THE MATH OF HOW THIS WOULD WORK AND HOW YOU WOULD RESTORE THAT $20 BILLION WORTH OF FUNDING
42:2842 minutes, 28 seconds - FOR SCHOOLS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND HOSPITALS BASED ON THOSE FOUR ITEMS? YEAH.
42:3342 minutes, 33 seconds - >> FIRST, IT'S NOT REDUNDANT BECAUSE THERE ARE SPECIFIC. OTHER BILLS.
42:3842 minutes, 38 seconds - >> THAT WERE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO ONLY BE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ABORTIONS.
42:4142 minutes, 41 seconds - SO TO SAY THAT THE STATE IS FUNDING ABORTIONS UM, THOSE ARE ACTUALLY TWO DIFFERENT SUBJECTS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MONEYS UH, THE ABILITY TO
42:5142 minutes, 51 seconds - ACCOMPLISH THIS ACROSS THE STATE IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL.
42:5442 minutes, 54 seconds - WE DO HAVE THOSE SO PROPERTY TAX DOES GO IN TO COUNTY AND UH INCOME TAX GOES INTO THE STATE.
43:0143 minutes, 1 secondI ACTUALLY WANT TO DO AWAY WITH BOTH OF THEM. COULD YOU.
43:0343 minutes, 3 seconds - COULD YOU JUST WALK US THROUGH THE MATH OF HOW THOSE ITEMS ADD UP TO $20 BILLION?
43:0743 minutes, 7 seconds - WE'VE TRIED TO DO THE MATH OURSELVES, BUT I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR MATH.
43:1143 minutes, 11 seconds - ON THE FOUR THINGS YOU MENTIONED. >> YES, SIR.
43:1343 minutes, 13 seconds - UH, SO SO IT'S ACTUALLY MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT I THINK IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS.
43:1943 minutes, 19 seconds - BUT HERE'S SOME OF THE SIMPLE MATH WE HAVE. WE HAVE ONE BILL.
43:2343 minutes, 23 seconds - ALONE THAT WENT TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PROGRAMS AND PLANS THAT WAS $104 MILLION.
43:2943 minutes, 29 seconds - AND ACTUALLY WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IS 17 MILLION.
43:3243 minutes, 32 seconds - >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COVERING ALL COLORADO HEALTH? YES PLEASE. CORRECT.
43:3543 minutes, 35 seconds - SO IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD JOB YOU DID HOMEWORK.
43:3743 minutes, 37 seconds - SO $17 MILLION TO COVER ALL COLORADO.
43:4143 minutes, 41 seconds - >> IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME WITHIN THAT SAME CALENDAR YEAR OVER $104 MILLION. THAT'S JUST ONE ITEM.
43:4843 minutes, 48 seconds - WE'RE ALSO FUNDING ABORTIONS FOR ANYBODY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES TO COME TO COLORADO. WE'RE DESTINATION STATE. SO THAT'S.
43:5543 minutes, 55 seconds - >> THROUGH THE ROOF COSTS AND THAT. CONTINUES TO GROW.
43:5743 minutes, 57 seconds - >> AND YOU'RE AWARE THAT THE STATE HAS ESTIMATED THE NONPARTISAN BUDGET HAS ESTIMATED THAT THAT'S $6 MILLION.
44:0244 minutes, 2 seconds - UH, AND THEN THE TRANSGENDER SURGERY IS ABOUT $230,000. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ADDED UP ALL THE CATEGORIES THAT YOU AND YOUR CAMPAIGN HAVE CITED AND IT
44:1044 minutes, 10 seconds - GETS YOU ONE HALF OF 1% OF THE WAY TO THE $20 BILLION THAT YOU WOULD STRIP OUT OF SCHOOLS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITALS, ROADS AND BRIDGES.
44:1844 minutes, 18 seconds - WHERE WOULD THE REST OF THE MONEY COME FROM? WELL, THE.
44:2044 minutes, 20 seconds - >> FIRST THING WITH THE ABORTION UH, NUMBERS IS YES, WE. >> DID SEE THOSE. ABORTION NUMBERS IN.
44:2544 minutes, 25 seconds - COMMITTEE WHEN THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE WAS TAXING OR MAKING. >> SURE.
44:3144 minutes, 31 seconds - THAT THE TAXPAYER DOLLARS WENT TO ABORTIONS.
44:3244 minutes, 32 seconds - THEY WEREN'T THEY WERE 25 UH 250% LOWER THAN WHAT THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ARE AND WE PRESENTED
44:4044 minutes, 40 seconds - THAT BUT THAT'S NOT MAKING THE CUT BECAUSE DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE HOUSE.
44:4544 minutes, 45 seconds - THE TRANSGENDER SURGERIES WERE ALMOST 35 TIMES. HIGHER THAN THE NUMBERS THAT WERE GIVEN.
44:5044 minutes, 50 seconds - BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO MAKE THE CUT BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS.
44:5244 minutes, 52 seconds - CONTROL THE HOUSE. WE KNOW IT THE ILLEGAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. THANK YOU.
44:5644 minutes, 56 seconds - >> WE WENT OVER ON THIS BY JUST A QUICK WORD YOU'RE WAVING YOUR HAND AT ME.
45:0045 minutesOBVIOUSLY YOU'VE YOU'VE WRITTEN THE STATE BUDGET FOR YEARS.
45:0345 minutes, 3 seconds - HOW DO YOU ASSESS HIS MATH WRONG.
45:0745 minutes, 7 seconds - UM, THAT IS LIKE A LITTLE WRONG.
45:0845 minutes, 8 seconds - OH GO BACK. MAY I GO PLEASE? THANK YOU.
45:1145 minutes, 11 seconds - UM, WELL, TO CUT $20 BILLION I'M ASSUMING HE'S SAYING THAT'S OUT OF THE STATE BUDGET.
45:1545 minutes, 15 seconds - THAT WOULD BE MORE THAN THE TOTAL GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET BY $1.5 BILLION.
45:2045 minutes, 20 seconds - SO BASICALLY WE'D HAVE TO CUT EVERYTHING TO I GUESS I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS YOU'RE GOING TO BACKFILL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHO ARE LOSING PROPERTY TAX BECAUSEY
45:2945 minutes, 29 seconds - THAT WAS CORRECT IS THAT THE STATE DOESN'T COLLECT PROPERTY TAXES. THAT IS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
45:3345 minutes, 33 seconds - SO I'M NOT SURE HOW HE WOULD AFFECT THAT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ABILITY TO EITHER AS A LEGISLATOR OR EVEN AS THE GOVERNOR IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
45:4045 minutes, 40 seconds - BUT I'M WRONG. IT'S LIKE WAY OFF THE 6 MILLION IS PROBABLY STILL A BIT HIGH BASED ON SOME OF THE CUTS THAT WE'VE MADE JUST EVEN IN THIS LAST BUDGET YEAR.
45:4845 minutes, 48 seconds - MR. KIRKMEYER THANK YOU. SURE.
45:5045 minutes, 50 seconds - I DON'T MIND ANSWERING THE OTHER PART OF YOUR QUESTION IF YOU. WANT I'M GOING TO TURN TO MR. MARSHALL QUICK ON THE BUDGET.
45:5445 minutes, 54 seconds - YOU CAN COME BACK TO THE LECTERN. THANKS FOR STEPPING BACK.
45:5745 minutes, 57 seconds - I'VE REPEATEDLY HEARD YOU CALL FOR AUDITS OF STATE DEPARTMENTS BUT STATE AGENCIES ALREADY SUBJECT ARE SUBJECT TO ANNUAL FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE AUDITS DONE BY THE STATE AUDITOR IN
46:0546 minutes, 5 seconds - YOUR REVIEW OF THE CURRENT ANNUAL AUDIT PROCESS, WHAT SPECIFICALLY DO YOU THINK IS MISSING?
46:1146 minutes, 11 seconds - WELL, THE FACT THAT YOU SAID THAT THE STATE IS AUDITING ITSELF GIVES ME PAUSE OF CONCERN.
46:1946 minutes, 19 seconds - I THINK WE HAVE TO BRING IN OUTSIDE VOTES MUCH LIKE THE DOD'S TO REALLY GET AN
46:2846 minutes, 28 seconds - FORENSIC PERFORMANCE AUDIT BUT FOR WASTE AND FRAUD IT'S A MANAGEMENT ISSUE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GO THROUGH IT.
46:3646 minutes, 36 seconds - I OPENED UP THE LONG BILL THE OTHER DAY AND STARTED LOOKING AT IT AND THOUGHT PRETTY COMPLICATED.
46:4646 minutes, 46 seconds - THAT FOR ME.
46:4846 minutes, 48 seconds - THAT AN APOLOGY. NO, I SAID. NOT FOR ME. SORRY.
46:5246 minutes, 52 seconds - UH BECAUSE LOOK AT WHERE WE'RE AT. I THINK GETTING THE RIGHT EYES ON IT DOING THE RIGHT AUDITS
46:5946 minutes, 59 seconds - WILL HELP KEEP PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE.
47:0247 minutes, 2 seconds - THAT'S WHAT THE FOLKS OF COLORADO WHO FEEL LIKE THE NEVER HEARD AROUND THE STATE BY POLITICIANS THEY WANT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE MONEY BEING SPENT.
47:1147 minutes, 11 seconds - THANK YOU, MR. MARKS. YOU'RE WELCOME.
47:1347 minutes, 13 seconds - WE'RE NOT DOING MANY YES OR NO QUESTIONS BUT WE WILL DO JUST A COUPLE OF A COUPLE OF THEM HERE.
47:1747 minutes, 17 seconds - TINA PETERS WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON YESTERDAY THANKS TO CLEMENCY FROM DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR JARED POLIS, AND SHE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO HER CLAIMS THAT DEMOCRATS ARE CHEATING ON ELECTIONS, THAT SHE
47:2547 minutes, 25 seconds - WAS PUT IN PRISON AS RETRIBUTION FOR FINDING EVIDENCE THAT VOTING MACHINES FLIP VOTES.
47:2947 minutes, 29 seconds - SO FIRST OFF, I'LL ASK EACH OF YOU TO ANSWER JUST IN YES OR NO FORMAT.
47:3347 minutes, 33 seconds - IS TINA PETERS TELLING THE TRUTH WHEN SHE SAYS THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE RIGGED ELECTIONS IN COLORADO USING VOTING MACHINES TO FLIP VOTES MISS KIRKMEYER. UH, NO, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
47:4247 minutes, 42 seconds - MR. BOTTOMS. YES, MR. MARKS.
47:4547 minutes, 45 seconds - WELL, IT'S HER WORD AGAINST EVERYONE ELSE.
47:4747 minutes, 47 seconds - WOULD YOU PROVIDE A FULL PARDON TO TINA PETERS WIPING AWAY HER FELONY CONVICTIONS, ALLOWING HER TO SERVE AS AN ELECTIONS OFFICIAL AGAIN IF SHE WANTS AND VOTERS WERE TO ELECTOR MR.
47:5747 minutes, 57 seconds - MARKS FULL PARDON FOR TINA PETERS. YES OR NO?
48:0048 minutesI THINK TRUMP'S GOING TO DO THAT BEFORE ANYBODY DOES.
48:0248 minutes, 2 seconds - HE CONSTITUTIONALLY CAN'T DO IT.
48:0448 minutes, 4 seconds - YOU COULD AS GOVERNOR WOULD YOU DO IT?
48:0648 minutes, 6 seconds - SURE IF I NEEDED TO. I'M ASKING YOU IF YOU WOULD. I'M ASKING YOU IF WE. CAN MOVE ON. MR..
48:1448 minutes, 14 seconds - MR. BOTTOMS, WOULD YOU PROVIDE A FULL PARDON TO TINA PETERS? YES, MISS KIRKMEYER NO.
48:1948 minutes, 19 seconds - MISS KIRKMEYER, YOUR HISTORY INCLUDES LEADING AN EFFORT IN 2013 TO HAVE NORTHERN COLORADO SECEDE FROM THE STATE, MEANING BREAK AWAY FROM THE STATE.
48:2748 minutes, 27 seconds - IT FAILED. AND SINCE.
48:2948 minutes, 29 seconds - >> THEN I'VE HEARD YOU SAY YOU DO IT AGAIN BECAUSE PUTTING IT ON THE BALLOT WAS SIMPLY LISTENING TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
48:3348 minutes, 33 seconds - WHY SHOULD VOTERS TRUST YOU TO LEAD A STATE THAT YOU TRIED TO LEAVE?
48:3748 minutes, 37 seconds - SO THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND I ACTUALLY DIDN'T TRY TO LEAD.
48:4048 minutes, 40 seconds - I DID LISTEN TO THE VOTERS AND THE PEOPLE IN MY COUNTY WHO WE ASKED THEM IF THEY WANTED TO THEY ASKED US IF WE SHOULD BE
48:4748 minutes, 47 seconds - PURSUING US MEANING THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
