Julie is here with the dos and 8 19. Time for proctors garden. Excited for todays segments. Youre going through fall gardening. There is a lot to do. Im going to help you take some things off your list. Start with grasses. Do not cut down your ornamental grasses. They saturday so much interest. Beautiful. They offer a lot of seeds and food for the birds. They come and eat the seeds here and its so much fun to watch. So keep the beautiful interest in your garden. In the spring you can cut them down and let them regrow. Dont cut your grasses. Along with that, dont cut down your perennials. Your perennials, if you keep them if you keep all the foliage and everything on, it helps protect them for the adds a little insulation. Helps protect them a bit. That will be a spring thing. Dont rake your leaves. Say what . I know. This is what good soil is made of. So what you want to do is if its on your lawn, just use your mulcher on your lawn mower and run over it and it gets into the lawn and helps create better soil and helps create a healthier lawn. You can also crunch it up into your garden beds and if you it in the bottom of really tall pots next year. So its kind after filler for your pots without using too much soil. So dont have to rake your leaves. Do mulch them. This is the best. Things i dont have to do. Theres a few things you do want to do. Make sure your keep your its not time for your pots to go all the way away. Just if it gets to be freezing or tephras, make sure you get it to the ground. Then pin it down to the ground because the ground is where the heat is stored. I think thats what people overlook. They throw it on top. Thats not going to do much. If you keep the heat in from the ground it will extend the life of your pots. When your pots are done, you want to make sure you dump the soil but keep it in a clean trash can or something. The soil, its an investment. Year. But you dont want your pots to freeze. You want to dump the soil and then you can turn them upside down and then cover them either with their plates or you can put tarp over them or something. This is also an investment. You dont want to freeze those. Exactly. Ready for the wintertime. All online. Well be right back with december 30, 2007, thats the last time cu played in a bowl game.

We have such great highlights and interviews. So emotional from the state Softball Championship games. Its hard to fit it all into one time. Just got a couple minutes, but great stuff online. Some republicans are on the fence with this controversial election. So in this weeks balance of power we spoke to two republicans who tell us how they feel donald trump will impact the party. To trump or not to trump. We have two republicans on either side of that issue. Joining us now is tom tancato. Was a cruz guy. We also have leader of the never trump movement. Given the elevator pitch. How did you come from being a cruz guy and end up on trump. Easy. Her name is Hillary Clinton. What more do you want to know . What more does anybody want to know . Thats a short elevator speech. I will give you that. It should cover everything. You have a situation now. I wasnt a trump supporter. I was a cruz guy. Fact is now we have two candidates. Two candidates. There is no, from my point of view, theres no alternative. Kendall, your response that or just your elevator pitch too. I agree. Hillary clinton is not someone we want to see in the presidency. Thatsy had started the movement that i did in order to sponsor the conscious clause at the rules committee at the convention in order to not have donald trump be our nominee. We knew he was replete with all of his problems. We could foresee it was going to actually be a hindrance to the party at the current state course that has come to fruition. They had a chance at the time of the convention that they had counted the delegate votes when we called for the roll call vote and he would actually not have been our nominee. They made a choice at that time. At the convention i was told they would win without the conservative never trumpers. So far he hasnt earned my vote. He needs to earn the vote of the never trumpers. He won the convention without you folks. Remains to be seen if he can win the if President Trump happens hell have four to eight years to define his legacy and how it impacts the party. Lets assume he loses. What is Donald Trumps Lasting Impact on the Republican Party. Its going to be disaster as far as i can tell. Really and truly, you know, kendall, i completely understand and appreciate her why she is where she is on this issue. But you know how many people i have had to vote for at the top of that ticket. Believe me, i did not feel good about that. Not one iota. Yet, of course, the alternative for me, again, was not acceptable. Weve gone through this time after time and yes, they tried at the convention to stop it. It failed. So therefore weve got donald trump. Thats the reality. Democrats and republicans many of them wish we had two different candidates, for both sides. They are not the candidates ive seen running here. I think its a disaster if for the party. What has happened even with the never trumpers, thats a disaster for the party. If it happens, it could be the best thing that comes out of this election. If he loses, from my point of view, the best thing that could happen is that, that the party as we know it collapses and some new thing comes and rejuvenates the old one. Party on november 9th . Theres going to be a lot of rebuilding. There has to be someone who a lot of strong leadership because the personalities are so divided. Ive never seen such vitriol in a campaign. Ive always fallen in line every single president ial candidate. By the way, a lot of people, a lot of republicans, especially with mitt romney werent supporting mitt romney. I would get frustrated and try to win their vote through just discussing issues and doing the things that you normally do politically to turn out votes. But there was not the name calling and the coercion. Im in touch with probably 10,000 never trumpers, but its turned more into the conscience movement. We werent doing it with one candidate in mind. We were doing it out of conscience. The right to conscience is something that we hold as such a dear level. Its why our nation was against dan. We truly believe in conscience. What happens to the Republican Party . Who cares. Do you really care . Is that a matter of conscience for you . Its not for me, as i said. But i have a great deal of concern if i have one commitment, philosophical, moral, all the rest of it, it is to this country. It is to the america i grew up in. Its to the america i love. And i will parties dont matter to me in that regard. And i dont care that you know, that hes a republican. I care that hes running against Hillary Clinton. Her presidency you know we could survive a lot of things in this country. We have survived a lot of things. We could survive a Hillary Clinton presidency, but we could not i dont think not the america i love cannot survive a Hillary Clinton presidency and a Hillary Clinton appointed supreme this a terribly incredible election and one that your conscience should lead you to the point of saying whats more important to me. Is it my personal feeling about this guy who is rude and crude and all the rest of that stuff or do i want truly to put in here a corrupt, pathological liar, which is what she is. This is a conversation that we dont always get to have around here, so we appreciate both of you coming in. Nd thats for having us. Thank you for your time. This has been balance of power. Thanks if theyll hug it out. Ended on a high note. Much more on 9news. Com. We are switching gears. Its been two weeks, we have been missing our broncos. Theyre coming back tomorrow night though. Just over 24 hours to go. Kubiak is back, so is brock. Boo. Our game day live cohosts will take a look at what tomorrows texans and our denver broncos. Both 4. 2. The matchup will be the first time Brock Osweiler has been at mile high since last year. How important is this game . Were coming off of two losses. An extended period of time off. I think they need to win this because of all the brock talk, everyone hasnt talked about the fact this team has lost back to back games. Granted that happened last year twice, they were able to bounce back. Should they lose on monday night, all bets are off. Practically speaking its probably not a must win game, but after you lose two in a row. If they lose to brock im seeing no way theyre losing to brock and the texans, a team. They do then it really shows that there are some serious issues with this team. I do think itll be a confidence thing. Right now this isnt a great team. I think those two losses showed everybody that this isnt okay, the Super Bowl Team is gone now. This is 2016. Still got a chance to be a good team. Still got a chance to be a great team. Its not right now. They have to fix some things in this game. Its crazy this is the second straight sunday weve on game day live well also be talking about a special ceremony well have on monday night. Three new ring of famers. Simon fletcher. One guy saying over the years, how come simon fleche r isnt in the ring of fame. Jason automatic. Tell me who the third is. John lynch here the shortest. Hes the reason theyre having it game here today. John lynch, hard hitting safety four years. Those are three real good inductees. Youll have a lot of the ring of famers come back for the ceremony. Its a nice deal for the broncos. Always a special night. Monday night football. Well talk about that coming up with dave and sam and mike on game day live. Back to you. Good stuff. Thanks.
