,, i've seen what can happen as the result of hate. my son matt was murdered in laramie, wyoming, in 1998. he was befriended by two men in a bar who pretended to be gay. they offered him a ride home, and when he was in their car, they robbed him and beat him. they drove matt out to the prairie l fence, then beat him some more and left him for dead. in the aftermath of matt's death, my family saw the best of america in the love and support we were shown. so when i see the hate that donald trump has brought to his campaign for president, it terrifies me. i'd like to punch him in the face, i'll tell ya. ahh, i don't know what i said, uhh, i don't remember. he's a mexican. i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody, and i wouldn't... words have an influence.

degrees warmer than that. 78 at dia, downtown 79. 37 and 36 where we started so there was a good warm-up. 63 and 35 normal this time of year. not too far from the record of 83 from 2003. 77 and 74 right now. east wind at 13 but look how dry it is, 9% humidity. steady barometer. there it is ski season, opening day at arapahoe basin. look at this guy. i thk fights. from rick gonzalez. this is elaine cottingham, pretty wispy flowers here in arvada, and judy williams sends this mountain wave cloud near black hawk just about sunset. very ominous picture. temperatures tonight will be mostly in the 30s and 40s over the eastern plains. higher up 20s and 30s. out west 20s, 30s and low 40s. tomorrow take a look at this heat around here, 60s 70s and

the southeast. up in the high country 60s and 70s and out west temperatures in the 70s. take a look at this forecast for tonight, clear skies 42 in -- mild one and for tomorrow, plenty of sunshine around here, look at this, 80 downtown! 81 out at the airport. for the next several days, pick a day and put it to but are there. 75 sunday, 74 monday, or maybe 74 on tuesday and 73 on wednesday. i don't know. sunshine blue skies temperatures in the 70s and in the near future, i don't see an end to this. the nuggets open regular season next week. and coach malone has a plan plus the abs off to a hot start

that we were actually experiencing at the time. he says what he means, and he does what he says. that means a lot to us and to me.

old team. >> always exciting whenever you play somebody you've played so long with. if -- it would be the same with malik jackson or danny to ration. like i said, extra-early in the week that you know, that's just how it is. you playing one of your brothers. you playing one of the guys you played with. you want to beat those guys when you play again. >> a little extra sauce. when the avs lost it would have been easy to shrug and say it was the second of back-to- back road games. but not re unacceptable. the avs responded last night against tampa bay. the avs scored first for the first time all season. matt duchene getting his first of the year. and they never looked back winning 4-0. >> the deal is the games after you win are important but games after you lose are extremely important. it says a lot about our leadership, the way we approached today, everyone was holding their teammates

nuggets final preseason game against the mavericks. regular-season tips off wednesday in new orleans. denver 3-4 so far. don't want to judge them on that record because the games don't count and coach malone has often use the rookies and bench players late in games to give them experience. but not tonight. >> treating tonight like it's our home opener. we have to go out and play and get better. we can't continue to make the same mistakes and have the same game of the preseason on paper but our approach is let's come out and play like it's a real game and protect home-court and clean up as much as we can. there's a thought the nuggets could surprise people this year if things go
