They say listen Bill O'Reilly in -- Kelly file segment tonight is advertised as Megan has been looking into whether Colorado has tough laws against child predators as the liberal journalists and politicians out there.

Claim they do.

And here and -- This -- -- you've been following us you can I have a little me you know to these people you'll -- little prior does not -- but the three videos with a month right now gotta get that don't -- On but I think that there are lying.

That they don't have tough laws in Colorado against predators.

Am I wrong well I mean lying as a strong term because it's subjective they may believe something stuff that you don't I have actually on without facts in my opinion not -- OK they're nowhere near as tough as Jessica's law.

So let's take it one by one.

If you are four years older than a fifteen year old so you're ninety bank.

And you rate the fifteen year old or 1413 119 whatever.

The minimum you getting Colorado is two years the maximum is six years that's the maximum six years.

Is that correct it goes that's right in the minimum is two years and then if you go up one class a felony the minimum yet you're finally -- and you block but if you -- if -- twenty watt.

And you rape a thirteen year old it's -- 6000 -- -- -- is two years.

On that -- now humble for they are claiming the local DA's are claiming that under certain circumstances certain she can be a life sentence so that -- -- -- -- -- but look let's focus on what the minimums are because that's what people care about what is the minute you when you have minimum sentences because you don't trust the judges.

To come down hard enough on a certain class of defendants.

And sexual offense cases there's been a history of too lenient -- -- too lenient sentences all over the country not just in Colorado so they have decided in Colorado they don't need a mandatory minimum sentence like Jessica's law would impose a 25 years that they can do it on their own trust -- it's going to be all good.

So they've got a minimum of two years four years eight years if you're really really bad eight -- eight -- -- had never gone in the mouth of the kid of a child get a OK so eight years they got.

So but they look at how can how did you actually apply -- -- -- really bad cases did you did you go for the life sentence did you did you do as much as you possibly could.

What you heard Jesse Watters confronting the local lawmaker out there one guy 47 year old -- sexually abused a boy 873.

Time times.

1 morning in prison when you -- All right let me stop you so you independently me I have not talked to you correct for a whole week I haven't you know we don't -- so we.

We -- -- and the staff written investigate because the guy fair and you know the speaker of the house of applause and so did the editorial director of the Denver Post they boast about it that.

It's not true this is a chaotic system in Colorado.

Right but they don't want to fix it.

Now let me let any -- I've ever post they also claim that the the coalition against sexual assault is.

Against Jessica's law we called them they say they are actively up to oppose or support that's another -- by the vendor and not the case now -- DA's -- -- did the Colorado district attorney's counsel guy.

They they talk about the existing state of the -- out there and how there are potential there is potential for harsh sentences but there -- nearly as opposed to Jessica's law.

As the Denver Post we have people believe.

All right now what's the why am -- what.

Why let's get right down of the media on this and why don't.

These Liberal Democrats in.

The legislature.

Want Jessica's.

There are several reasons I think the defense bar the criminal defense bar is very powerful okay and the did get around don't want it the defense attorneys don't want it isn't there -- reason that's number one.

I think number two they are having some financial problems and prison overcrowding if you don't want to pay for the added -- for the -- credit for the inmates that's nice that's I think the DA's some of whom.

But he was right the other night are not necessarily in favor of Jessica's law.

Don't like to be handcuffed to they wanted to clear -- as.

Because it's harder to get up -- when you know they're lazy and I want a minimum uncut.

I agree with all that so there -- -- Colorado there we go okay that's the truth and it's wrong.

Jesus.

Jesus Jeanne let's talk Jesus Jesus Jesus would not like what's going on in Colorado and Hawaii and statesman but he.

-- the factored he would object somebody has patented to me copyrighted the name Jesus yet Jesus genes.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But that's a cheap shot against real -- I don't know I think you can really tell you don't equal time she when you think should -- -- very Agassi cat fight and are considered I'm.

That's not gonna we have -- minimum sentences for cat -- to have a left.

The new law like you want to punish -- you know I really appreciate you -- -- Colorado study because people believe you more than -- some people when you and Kelly and I on the same -- water.
