Gov. Polis’ Response to Trump’s Venezuela Attack, Denver on Fire, and King Soopers Receipts
from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Venezuela last Friday and U.S. armed forces have captured the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro. So, what does Denver have to do with it? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are dissecting all the local connections, from Trump citing Aurora in his justification of the attack and Governor Jared Polis’ controversial response to the possibility that local oil and gas companies might be involved in the next phase of the president’s plan. Plus, tons of great listener comments and questions. Paul quoted CPR’s fact-checking of Trump’s Saturday press conference and 9News’ coverage of Lauren Boebert’s recent tension with Trump.
