Wellington Webb came to Denver as an 11-year-old asthmatic but soon became a Colorado legislative leader, Denver’s elected Auditor, and then Denver’s strong and successful three-term Democratic mayor (1991-2003).
 
Just back from Nevada, where he went door-to-door for Kamala Harris, Mayor Webb gives his insights on problems Kamala Harris will have to overcome to win over some voters, including too many women who won’t vote for a female.
 
A champion doorknocker, Mayor Webb recalls his 42-day-and-night walk through Denver that won him the election in 1991. Channel Nine and East High debates against late Denver DA Norm Early were decisive in 1991, and the debate victor, Mayor Webb, reviews highlights with pleasure.
 
Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb recalls three major Denver protests and how he handled the civil unrest. He reviews and critiques Trump’s authoritarian threats to quell civil demonstrations. But what about the Constitution? That was always Mayor Webb’s touchstone.
 
Denver’s Nuggets are off to a rocky start, possibly related to Brian Westbrook. Mayor Webb laments the loss of KCP, and Uncle Jeff Green's departure caused the Nuggets to slide last season. The out-of-state pro sports owners of Colorado franchises are critiqued.
 
Mayor Webb is unhappy with Denver's current feelings and conditions. He gives a frank assessment of problems (e.g., 16th Street Mall) in the Mile High City and explains the essentials of bringing a swagger back to the capital city of Colorado.
 
Troubadour Dave Gunders provides his entertaining song "Can I Ask for Everything?" How about the Democrats win the Presidency, Senate, and House? How will the women of America react to this threat to their autonomy?

The host describes his feelings after a swing state tour of Georgia (MLK Center) and North Carolina. The capitulation of WaPo and LA Times to MAGA is discussed and ripped. This is how fascism does its damage. We keep going. Electoral tension builds with voting well underway.
