the area includes silverton, colorado but also north of silverton, colorado where the spill occurred. mr. tipton represented this area in 2010. your opinion on this spill is invaluable and thank you for coming before the small business committee today. welcome, congressman tipton, and your remarks. >> thank you, senator gardner, and please extend my thanks to chairman vetter for convening this morning's hearing which we believe is an important issue. when it comes to the spill, questions are still to be answered, and certainly the economic impacts we'll be feeling not only in southwestern colorado but in adjoining states as well. i would like to also extend my thanks to the small business committee for folks saying what i believe is a very important issue, the lifeblood of our economies in rural colorado and rural small states which is our businesses. i welcome you to begin with me what will be a long, complicated process to paint a complete picture of what the economic impacts of the epa-caused king mine blowout have been so far and into the future. i still would like to provide some

in colorado springs, colorado, i'm joe mccann. thanks joe... we'll take our last break... be sure to come back to see our latest viewer highlight tape. (break three) our youth dream of being here on the show one day. and mom is their number one fan. sports mom is here to help all the moms out there find the right equipment and deals. here's sports mom with this week's tips. hi everyone i'm chris huston and i'm a sports mom. now that school and the fall sports season are in full swing, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed in keeping all the kids schedules straight. if you don't already have a calendar on the fridge, now is a good time to get one. there are also some great organizational apps you can put on your phone to help keep everything organized. but aside from scheduling all the games and practices, there are other things to keep in mind while organized your family's busy schedule. 1. schedule lessons for every second week rather than weekly. give your child the free day to practice or as playtime 2. set up a carpooling arrangement so siblings aren't spending their

he is pushing for support today in colorado. he is in boulder, colorado. he will be holding a rally there in just moments. you see people gearing up for him to take the podium. it is on the university of colorado's east campus. it will get under way this hour. the vermont senator is expected to speak about income inequality, prescription drug costs, and his college affordability plan among other things. our reporter joins me now live. in addition to those things, do you expect that he will take on his critics on how he's voted on gun control? >> reporter: yeah, poppy, it's really been interesting, just this weekend, we have noticed a shift in bernie sanders. last night starting in tucson, he really deviated from his standard stump speech to really almost explain his past voting history on gun control. certainly his history is facing a lot more scrutiny with these most recent shootings. and certainly a big message push by the hillary clinton campaign, really to kind of capitalize on what they perceive as a weakness in him as a democratic candidate on this i

but it would cause issues in some parts of colorado. >> colorado is a caucus state march 1st. democratic side, these caucuses, bernie sanders, can he play the role of barack obama in these things? >> that's the goal. the question is, is bernie sanders barack obama? does he have the organization? and we'll get our first state in iowa. and colorado is still a couple of months after that. but if hillary clinton has a better organization in iowa, all of a sudden we've seen a lot of state senators and reps who are now backing her. to me, it was a very big sign on her organization. someone like sherry brown on the progressive side, endorsing her. >> brandon, the republicans are not going to vote for president on march 1st, the first super tuesday. >> we're fifth in the nation and they decided not to have a straw poll. they had a straw poll before. they'll meet to pick delegates to go do the convention and they're allowed to bind themselves if they want, but what we won't have is any kind of result. >> so march 1st -- >> in churches and schools all across the state and we will report

and, i probably think the most recognizable colorado native that we have a colorado right now. [applause] the course name has become synonymous with colorado. i think you and the family with that. coors doing is a tradition that stretches over five generations of family now. it was started by pete's great-grandfather, adolph coors, in 1973. in addition to his corporate responsibilities, pete has positions in the american enterprise institute, the national western stock show, the denver art museum, and is president of the adolph coors foundation. i want to mention one other great thing about pete and that family is the amount of philanthropy and support that they give to our state, nation, and the american culture. i think it is pretty much unmatched. [applause] i will mention one award that i think is particularly appropriate, and that is in 2010, when he was named citizen of the west. peter coors, thank you for being with us. [applause] panelist is paul dietzel. paul dietzel is an entrepreneur extraordinary. he founded a company called anedot. is a technology company located i

carl is in boulder, colorado, in the war room gearing up for the gop debate. john is live at oracle open world, and san francisco. he has an exclusive interview with oracle ceo co-ceo, we should say, safra catz later on. a rare interview. we're excited to hear what she has to say. joining me simon hobbs. simon, thanks for being here. >> pleasure, kayla. >> one of today's top movers as we said at the top of the shower. alibaba. soars at the top and bottom lines. highlighted by a strong performance in mobile, and a strong performance in the cloud. the company reported about $1.6 billion in local revenue. nearly triple what it reported last year. stocks currently up 4.5%. it's since lost about half of its gains so far this morning. plus, it's a tough day for grub hub elsewhere in earnings. shares of grub hub right now down 17%. that is much better than they had been trading earlier this morning, but profit at that company missed expectations, and the company's revenue forecast for the current quarter also came in lower than expected. of course, we have 169 compan

of tourism to the various regions and counties in colorado. in 2014, direct travel spendingt totals $18.6 billion, supportinn approximately 155,000 jobs in over $5 billion in wages.er $5 the first county down stream, relies on tourism to sustain ite economic well-being. the county of over 53,000 people will plot a share of that t spending, supporting about 3,00a jobs and generating close to $8 million in local tax revenue. let's not discount the importance of tourism in san juan county.upport it has 692 people. in 2013, tourists brought $14.2 million to san juan county. that's a little over $200,000 for every man, woman and child that live there. a loss of that revenue would devastate the economy of a remote area with few other economic opportunities. the epa maintains the people, businesses and local governments can apply for competition. this sounds great in theory. calculating a dollar amount in this situation is difficult at best.in the for example, how do local ng for businesses accurately estimate lost revenue from tourists thatw don't c

the co-owner of four corners river sports in colorado. it's a retail store, paddle school and rafting business. it's open for business today i bet. if anybody is listening to the hearing, please go. mr. corra has built his business and raised his family in southwest colorado like so many other entrepreneurs. as with so many small business owners in durango, he depends on the river for his livelihood. when the water turned orange in the middle of peak rafting season, it hit his business hard and without warning. i look forward to learning more from all the witnesses this morning. mr. chairman, thanks for inviting me to speak briefly and for holding this important hearing. >> thank you, senator bennett. our first witness is the commissioner brad blake from colorado. his family first moved to doll colorado in the 1930s. we are pleased to have him here today. next up is the executive director of the silverton area. last but not least, we have mr. corra, owner of four corners river sports. four corners is on the banks of the river which is des

three of those are in california, senator boxer, four are in colorado that the colorado senators know very well, two in montana, and one in missouri. so, this is a big national is e issue, and it needs to be addressed. let me just finally say that one of the key parts of this which we all i think have been battling for a long time is the 1872 mining law. that law continues to allow mining corporations to take hard rock minerals like gold, silver, copper and uranium from public lands without paying any royalty, zero royalty. coal, oi companies have paid royalties for decades. that's the crux of what we need to do here. senator henrik has been working on this issue for a long time. i'll be working very closely with him to make sure we put in legislation very soon on that. and very much appreciate once again you holding this hearing. >> senator heinrich. >> thank you for holding this important hearing today. and i want to thank all of my colleagues up here as well as the president of the navajo nation who has joined us for the work that they've done to shine a light on this and to begin

retailer ine are boulder, colorado. he got a letter from the local health department that he had to have a food license, handling ice.se, in order to bacg he called them up and said what does that entail? 22 page application and $400 e, renewable every year. i have to let employees go. who reads these things? thisat the local level, bureaucracy is making it more and more difficult for small businesses. i guess there is a combination, bob, of opportunity and real challenge to succeed as under doors. a mixed bag. paul: i think the greatest challenge from technology, the government does not understand innovation. they do not understand the jobs. why? the government does not innovate or create jobs? it have any of its own money, it is ours. i think they spend more time figuring out how to regulate innovators as they grow and succeed. they spends saying, less time figuring out how to open the door and create opportunity for new companies. i think pete would agree that it is ok to create more competitors. but don't also on th

blake, a business owner and commissioner and laplata county, colorado. we are very blessed to live in an area of great natural beauty from 14,000 foot peaks to desert valleys. the rivers that run through this area are beautiful and clear. the premier is the mountains of the silverton and flows through colorado and 126 miles through laplata county the city of durango, the southern indian reservation, to the mexico border and on to utah and lake powell. the mountains above silverton are rich in minerals and metals. the attractive miners to the area starting in the 1860's. whining support companies all of -- mining businesses support companies followed along with other businesses. some you would recognize as the renowned during go railroad. others feel might not but they encompass different types of enterprises such as tourism related businesses including rafting, hiking, and outdoor recreation. hunting, fishing, hotels, restaurants and other related support services. laplata county has considerable agricultural interests including organic farms, ranches th

eastern time from boulder, colorado. john steinberg, spencer, the ceo of zillow yesterday pointed out that capturing the millenial vote here is so crucial and that trump and bernie sanders from the democratic side of the aisle have actually been able to relay to the my millenials by being direct. they want aught entrift and directness. how can other candidates capture that? >> that is the overused word in millenial marketing is authentic. it's why they like rainy video and periscope. they don't want to see pandering to the odd wrens. trump does that because he says whatever he wants or pretends to say whatever he wants. sanders has that element as well. he has this very -- i think it's up to the other candidates to figure out how to do that without appearing as a schtick. >> a lot of memorable moments to come tonight. our own carl quintanilla, becky quick, and john harwood will be moderating tonight's republican presidential debate. that all starts at 5:00 p.m. our josh lipton spoke to -- joins them in san francisco with

it cuts profitability for our colorado franchisees. that is a lot less franchisees that will enter because of her regulation. i have sat with the department agriculture and said, how did you come up with this rule? she said, we just have a feeling. [laughter] i said, would he mean you have a feeling, i will show you this data that will prove it that we can do it 1-25. she said, that is not your job, go run your business, and we will tell you how to operate. i will remember that conversation. mr. beauprez: i bet you will. in your business, what is the problem? mr. neiman: we are getting it -- ms. ganahl: we are getting it from all angles. they're going after mcdonald's first, but what they're trying to do is tie the franchise door to the franchisee. they are saying that we are now responsible for the 3500 employees, and if one person makes a bad hiring decision, often in another state, all of the franchisees have to pay for that mistake. what they're try to do is unionize the restaurant industry. they have not been able to do it because

votes out here in colorado hear tonight. the debate comes as dozens of hispanic conservative groups are descending on the state and threatening to boycott the party if they don't soften their tone on minorities. i'm here with the treasurer of the united states under george w. bush. you're a republican and you vote republican in every instance. >> faithfully. >> do you feel at home in the republican party as a latino? >> absolutely. yes. >> i need more. tell me why. because i look at trump. maybe i was too crass about it, mentioning he said mexicans who come here are rapists, and i thought, no, hispanics who came here tonight were pretty good debaters if you want to get crazy about the discussion. >> first of all, i will not mention him by name, but he does not represent -- he's not even a conservative. he's always been a liberal. he has supported more liberals than he ever supported republicans. he has served a position in the party that he doesn't belong. he doesn't belong to, but i am very much at home in the republican pa

here at the university of colorado in bolder, colorado. the big problem facing all ten of these republican candidates who are going to be on the big stage tonight before a national audience is just how unhappy american voters are with the choices they have for president. this is a problem for democratic candidates and republican candidates alike. this is the first time we have seen the numbers so upside down. voters unsatisfied with each candidate more than they're satisfied with that candidate. that's the flip side of what every winning presidential candidate has had since 1996. take a look at the numbers and you get a sense of how it works. bernie sanders, 43%. those who are pessimistic or uncertain, 50%. he is underwater by 7 points. ben carson, a similar picture. optimistic and satisfied 42%. uncertain and pessimistic 50%. hillary clinton 43% to 56%. she is much deeper under water at 13%. it's the same picture for all of the other candidates in this race. that's a sign of voter frustration here. what is that driving? driving the rise o

the animas river is the lifeblood and economic engine of southwest colorado. as we'll hear today, rafting companies lost business, sport fishing trips were canceled, tourism suffered and farmers couldn't water their crops. damages from the spill are still being calculated, and we may not know the full extent for years to come. businesses and individuals are starting to file claims to recover their losses. as chairman gardner said, they deserve to be fully reimbursed for their damages. the epa is committed to doing so. the gold king mine spill recovery act that i introduced with senator tom udall will ensure that the epa follows through on this promise. we continue to want to work with our colleagues to get that bill ready. the bill requires the epa to reimburse businesses, tribes, governments and individuals for property damage, lost revenue and emergency expenses. it also calls on the epa to construct a permanent water treatment plan north of silverton to tackle this problem at its source. the four mines in the upper animas river basin released more than 300

. >> thank you colorado. in 2012 myth romney beat back more conservative challenges. romney lost colorado by five points and the election in an electoral college land slide. >> hello, colorado. >> there's some evidence colorado hasn't turned completely blue. in the 2014 senate race democrats bet they were out to get them. republicans had a candidate who didn't sound as scary as democrats made them seem and corey beat senator mark. >> talking to voters in every community. whether it's a black candidate or hispanic advisories. >> that's where presidential candidate like bush who speaks spanish has a mexican american life could potentially build a good connection. he might not ever get the chance. >> maybe some day they're going to call it the trump wall. >> donald trump's presence in the race has pushed bush to surprising places. >> do you think term anchor baby is offensive? >> no, if there's another term i'm happy to hear it. >> that has latino republicans worried about the future. >> don't expect us to come

in colorado right now, eric holder told the people in colorado a year and a half ago, we're not going to enforce it as a schedule one drug. so we're not going to be in your face. >> so the federal government not interfeeshing. >> exactly. a new president comes along with a brand new attorney general, and he can say, this is a schedule one drug, we are going to come down hard in your state? >> and what happens to these millions of dollars for this industry that's been created? >> that's a really good question. then it becomes, is there a supreme court decision to determine if a state has the right to do this? but there are people in congress right now who are saying marijuana should never have been a schedule one drug in the first place. so a lot of this is a little bit murky. but look for the guys who are -- listen, this is early debate. people need to win in caucus states. they need to win in early primary states. the easiest answer for them to go to is to say, we are flat-out against it. maybe a little tiny window for medical marijuana. otherwise, the safe spot for them to be is jus

at colorado is giving iud is to teenagers. they were making available to women including teenagers but the headline grabs people's attention and i don't think that has been helpful as it is a cautionary tale how to talk about this in a policy space and we definitely find that when we talk to republicans women talk about women we get a very different response that doesn't mean they have to be excluded but it is important the cost argument is very powerful but there is some land mines there adding that a legislator was very motivated to save the government money to give this incentive but perhaps that had unintended consequences we have to get the policies aligned with the affordable care act the contraception requirement to make all that it's available with no cost sharing to a private plan is a huge step medicaid is a huge step but there are a number of states where people don't have access to medicaid and expansion including virginia there's a lot of low income women that don't have that choice and that is still a big policy

in fact, the company is laying off up to 150 employees at this plant independent colorado springs. while investing in automation and in some cases robotics. this is the new face of blue collar america. leaner, smarter, with more skilled workers. factors that explain why president obama is falling way short of his promise to create 1 million manufacturing jobs in his second term. >> it's been a restruggle to bring even more people into this industry. and i think to focus on that as your crux of judging the health of an industry is a mistake. >> still, candidates like donald trump keep making big promises. >> i'll bring back our jobs from china, from mexico, from japan, from so many places. i'll bring back our jobs and i'll bring back our money. >> jim james is skeptical. >> i think it's really hard to think you can force people back here and still be able to get somebody to buy your product at a higher cost. in this comes down to can your customers afford the price of your product. that's really what it comes down to. >> james is optimistic is the jobs being cut at this plant here i

i find it a little bit unfortunate that so many of the headlines coming out of colorado or colorado is giving iud's to teenagers. no, it was making it available to women, including teenagers, the headline -- but the headline "iud's for teenagers" grabs attention and i don't think it has been helpful. we definitely find that on the hill when we talk to republicans that when we talk about making contraception available to women of all ages, you get a very different response than when you focus on teenagers. that doesn't mean teenagers have to be excluded. i just think it is really important. i think the cost argument is very, very powerful. but it also can be -- there are some landmines there. i think the arkansas example is a good one. that legislator was very motivated by the idea of saving government money, and we can give people incentives to save money, but perhaps that had unintended consequences that we have to be really, really careful about. we definitely have to get the policies aligned. the affordable care act, the contraceptive coverage requirement, making all methods of cont
