one day's take >>> joining us from denver colorado is david swarts, c.e.o.f urban meddizinals, a marijuana center expanding into the adult recreational use. welcome to the programme. you've been selling medicinal marijuana for years. how come that experience didn't lay down a dem plate for you and others -- template for you and money? >> i feel like it did lay down a template. i feel like it hasn't been something approved on a federal level, and keeps the banks from accepting money. we have cash handling procedures worked out in sop and we are bringing it over to the recreational side. >> did you assume by this point in the game you would be able to write a check or go online and do an automatic transfer into a tax coffer, pay off your suppliers and so on? >> sure. we were definitely hoping that that would be the case, but i guess challenge will be a slow moving process. we are hoping that it happens any day soon now. >> the treasury department did write a memo telling banks more or less "you can handle the deposits in the states where it's legal." but the b

she was a 35-year-old mother of two who had moved to colorado when her husband was stationed in colorado because of his service in the military. and so officer garrett swasey and ke'arre stewart and jennifer markovsky, they've joined this long list of people who have been killed at the site of u.s. clinics that provide abortions. and this happens at a time when abortion providers have been expressing alarm and have basically been asking for help in defending themselves against a recent uptick in attacks, physical attacks on clinics. just this month before the colorado springs attack on friday, naral had started circulating a letter asking the department of justice to please investigate the surge in recent attacks on abortion clinics as acts of domestic terrorism. they cited the videos released this summer by anti-abortion activists that targeted planned parenthood as a sort of catalyst for this uptick in attacks. naral says in their letters to attorney general loretta lynch "beginning in july, when the video was first released and continuing in recent weeks, there have been multiple arso

you said this is the colorado river.'t look much like a river. >> no, it's not much like a river. >> so there's no water in the colorado river. >> there's no water in the colorado river anymore. >> made it. 305 miles hoover dam to that bridge right there is the border with mexico. it's actually in mexico. and this right here is the mighty, mighty, mighty colorado river. >> after millions of years of flowing across the west the colorado river no longer reaches the ocean. today no water flows in its final stretch because people have siphoned off every drop. >> it's bone dry. >> join meg now from the banks of the los angeles river, which has water from the colorado river flowing into it right now, is jacob soboroff. jacob, all right, what happens if this continues like it has been going? >> reporter: well, essentially, chris, you can see what it looks like in mexico happen north of what's called the moreles dam here in cole cal and that's because the colorado river is essentially like a faucet that flows from lake mead and

colorado is one of the more crucial swing states.r a long time colorado was as purple as they got. and then in 2012, and 2008 they went for the democrats. any chance it is swinging back toward the republican or is colorado going from purple to blue ? >> well, we're still technically considered a purple state. purple mountain majesty is -- so it is a good thing. that's what we're known for. the fact of the matter is i think that we're going to see a very difficult time for republicans moving this back in the direction of red. there are 300,000 people who moved into colorado in just the past two years, just in the last year. and enough people moved in that surpassed the population of the city of boulder for instance. nobody nose who the people are, what they stand for. but we do know they're young people, mostly. young families, young professionals and some of them certainly not most some of them are drawn here by recreational marijuana. and so it is hard to imagine that this mass migration into colorado really automatically benefits r

as somebody who grew up in denver, colorado, know colorado springs very well, high i have evangelical community. denver is a liberal community and then you have colorado springs, this big evangelical base. i grew up in the era of operational rescue where you had really scary confrontations between antiabortion activists, a lot of questions threatening bases and i got my basic health care from planned parenthood. in new york is where i got all health care, whether it's birth control or not. it's eerie to think about the danger to which these clinicians who i just became used to, norm al health care providers. the fact they go to work every day unoffer that kind of fear and death, that is the essence of what terrorism is, being afraid to go to work. as somebody who has used planned parenthood, i can tell you people go there to get basic health care. to do that and they are in fear because there are fellow americans threatening violence against you and their health care providers, it's sort of surreal. >> david cohen, some people don't want to use the word terrorism in association with t

jim hooley is live for us in colorado springs, colorado. is declared mentally incompetent what effect will that have? >> reporter: well, it's not clear if we will have a decision today. but it is definitely certain that if he is declared incompetent, it would complicate many, many matters here. it would put all of the prosecution on hold, and he would most likely be sent to the colorado mental health hospital, south of here in pueblo to undergo testing. he has said he will not participate in any of that testing. so again, this is going to be a very complicated hearing here today. and once again it's not clear if we will have a final decision today or not. >> what is the process for determining mental competence? >> well, again, very complicated. he will have to undergo that testing, but as we said in a hearing just two weeks ago when bear interrupted the proceedings, the judge, his attorney several times, as many as ten or 12 times, saying i am guilty, there's no need for a trial, i'm a warrior for the babies all of that will be taken into

gentleman from colorado. mr. polis: i would like to yield three minutes to the gentleman from wisconsin, a member of the ways and means committee, mr. kind. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized for three minutes. mr. kind: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank my friend from colorado for yielding me this time. mr. speaker, as a member of the ways and means committeings and someone who has been involved in negotiations in regards to the customs bill before us today, i rise in strong support of that bill. i encourage my colleagues to do the same. the customs bill before us today is not the customs bill that was reported out of the house in june of this year. a bill, quite frankly, that i couldn't support because of extraneous provisions, controversial provisions that got included in it. but through the product of the give and take of negotiations, i think we reached a good bipartisan compromise. this is what bipartisanship looks like. the cooperation, the give and take. not a perfect bill.

a wind advisory is in effect for the colorado river valley and lake mead through early tomorrow morning. winds in the advisory area are expected to gust in the 40-50mph range. this is due to surface high pressure area to our south. those two will combine to create some stronger winds straight down the colorado river valley and even a couple stronger gusts in las vegas. these winds are expected to be generally light at the surface, but will rapidly increase with height so at around 500 feet (or near building height) winds will likely be sustained around 10- 15mph and gust to nearly 25mph throughout the night. action news is following the latest developments out of new york developments out of new a man is in custody for reportedly planning an attack member overseas to attack revelers as an initiation into the group. meanwhile, there are more police officers on patrol in times square than ever. 6-thousand heavily armed officers are on-duty...protecting the one-million people expected in the big apple.
