Good Tuesday morning, Gina Gondack go on Colorado's morning news
Fox thirty one Pinpoint. Weather mostly sunny, unseasonably warm again today.
High temperature should be in the low seventies, seventies again tomorrow.
Looks like we'll see some fifties again by the weekend,
but still a very warm work week. Currently where I
fifty eight in Denver. A vote to end the record
(00:47):
breaking government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
After six excruciating weeks.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
I will stop talking and let all of you get
some rest.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Send a majority Leader John Foon talking about the bipartisan
vote that ends the forty days of tens agiations between
Democrats and Republicans. The final sixty to forty, with eight
Democrats joining Republicans in supports. Colorado Senators John Hickenlooper and
Michael Bennett were not among those breaking ranks. South Carolina
Senator Lindsey Graham praising those who pushed the bill over
(01:15):
the finish line, eight.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Senators like Senator Feederman, who put the country ahead.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
Of party, and I cannot thank him and the other
seven enough. They did the cuntry of great service.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
The measure would fund the government through the end of
January and put hundreds of federal workers back to work
with back pay. It still has to clear the House,
though a vote could be taking place tomorrow. President Trump
says old bide by the deal ending the shutdown, hoping
to get the government opened as quickly as possible, and
he does say he plans to revisit subsidies of four
(01:46):
Affordable Care Act premiums.
Speaker 8 (01:48):
The President says he prefers a new plan that sends
money to the people instead of insurance companies, so that
they can purchase their own quote much better healthcare and
have money left over. Oponent's criticizing President Trump's plant overhaul
the nation's healthcare system, saying it'll dismantle the Affordable Care
Act altogether for millions of Americans.
Speaker 9 (02:09):
That's Fox's Sue Guzman.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
The vote to reopen the government provides no relief at
the nation's airports, says delays and cancelations continue due to
the shutdown. Kathy Martinez just had her flight to Italy canceled.
Speaker 10 (02:21):
I'm very frustrated, but you know, this is life and
you gotta do what you can do.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Because of the shortage of air traffic controllers, the FAA
ordered the airlines to cut four percent of their flights
over the weekend. That increases to six percent today and
ten percent by Friday.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
Our social media poll question for this morning.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
With the snowballing cancelations of flights nationwide, are you planning
to fly for Thanksgiving? You can engage with us on
our platforms or leave us a talkback. Hit the red
mic button on the iHeartRadio app. Despite not passing, Denver's
twenty twenty six city budget goes into effect next year.
Speaker 11 (02:55):
The vote was six to six, with one council member absent,
so the two twenty six budget did not get enough
votes to pass, But because the deadline to have a
budget in place is November twelfth, the rules state that
the proposed budget with amendments is official as if adopted.
By counsel. Ten amendments to Mayor Mike Johnston's budget added
about nine million dollars in additional spending for next year.
(03:19):
His office calls it the most conservative budget in the
last fifteen years, outside of the pandemic Cynthia Veilkoa.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
The outgoing Douglas County School Board is about to vote
on last minute charter school extensions. The charter schools will
have little to no oversight for the next ten years
under the measure. Four conservative county school board members were
voted out in last week's election, so they don't have
answers to the votes for two voters for today's vote.
The current charter renewal in Douglas County is every five years.
(03:50):
Another reminder for Denver Public schools to slow it down.
This after three students on their way to school last
week were sent to the hospital and separate crashes.
Speaker 9 (04:00):
Here's DPS is Scott Pribble.
Speaker 12 (04:01):
We are seeing an uptick in cars and drivers blowing
through our extended stop arm with our school buses with
the red lights flashing, which is an obvious violation called
on a law.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Failing to stop for a school bus could cost you
a fine of up to three hundred dollars. Miraculously, no
one was injured with a single engine plane crash landing
on a road in Castle Rock yesterday. This happened just
before six point fifteen on Prairie Hawk Drive, near the
intersection with Wolfensburger Road, just west of By twenty five.
It's unclear how many people were on board the plane,
(04:32):
but police say everyone on and the car it hits
we're able to walk away. A popular route into downtown
closed for the next several days.
Speaker 13 (04:42):
Santa Fe Drive is completely closed north of Cedar while
BNSF Railroad replaces the railroad tracks. They say the replacement
is for public safety and they expect to have everything
reopened by this weekend. I Meanwhile, northbounders should consider using
Lincoln Street to the east or Federal Boulevard to the
west as an alternate route out. You can still access
the ramp to North Benday twenty five at Cedar, but
(05:03):
the delays at Alameda and Santa Fe make it very
much worth your time to just use another on ramp.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Nia Bender Kaway news.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Denver police releasing new details and an officer re multi
shooting at Maverick gas station on Parker Road last month.
It turns out the two store clerks who were injured
were hit by police gun fire. Officers fired nearly sixty
rounds in a deadly shootout with thirty five year old
Hosia Moore. Police DPD commander Matt Clark says Moore was
clearly looking for confrontation with police.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Mister Moore entered the store and requested a pack of
cigarettes from the cashier. When he couldn't pay for the cigarettes,
he asked for an individual cigarette instead. The clerks offered
mister moore fountain drink. Mister Moore produced a firearm and
demanded the clerks locked the door and turn off lights.
Mister Moore told the clerks to call the police.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Moore fired ten shots at police, striking one of the
officers in the leg. Officers returned fire, killing more and
wounding the two clerks.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Heading to Canada to meet international counterparts today.
Speaker 14 (06:02):
Canada is hosting G seven meetings this year and it's
the turn of foreign ministers to put their heads together.
Marco Rubio will meet top diplomats from the likes of
the UK, France, Germany and Japan in Niagara, Ontario. He
plans to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to bring peace
to Ukraine and Gaza, plus security concerns in Haiti and Sudan.
(06:22):
When G seven leaders met in June, they struggled to
unite behind a plan to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Secretary Rubio's also got points to raise on critical minerals
and global supply chains. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Italian exporters now Warren. President Trump's terrafs could mean Italian
pasta could be disappearing from US store shelves in January,
and you'd need a lot of pasta and carbs in
order to prepare for what may be one of the
hardest races on the planet.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
It's not a marathon. This is an ultra marathon.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
It was a run in Antarctica where wind chills hit
thirty one below. The winner the Chinese runner who managed
to do it in twenty two hours and forty minutes,
beating the record by forty three minutes. You're up to
day on Colorado's Morning News. Some sticker shock in the
grocery aisle. We'll get the latest coming up in business
and money news. Let's take a look at your early
(07:14):
Tuesday morning drive. We go to the KWA Traffic Center
and say good morning to Jonathan Steel.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, good morning to you.
Speaker 15 (07:19):
Happy Tuesday, And unfortunately we're starting off with a crash
on two seventy. This is going to be the eastbound side.
It's just past York near the oil refineries. I can't
tell what lanes blocked. It looks like both lanes may
actually be affected. It is already backed up over I
seventy six back to the I twenty five interchange. So
for folks up north, stick with I twenty five to seventy.
(07:40):
That way, you can certainly avoid this big delay that's
been developing because it's just barely crawling along through that stretch.
We had a little construction on two to two five
earlier northbound up from Alameda.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
They may have already picked up those cones.
Speaker 15 (07:52):
It was a little slow, but I'm not seeing anything
that's too disruptive right now coming through Aurora with.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
The sata FE closure.
Speaker 15 (07:59):
All so, just a reminder about that northbound from just
north of Alameda up to bay On. You know, the
alternate routes they are suggesting are as far as west
as Federal which you'll take you up to sixth Avenue
and back to the interstate. But you could also use
Cherokee or even Bannock. You could take that north through
the neighborhood and cut back on to Santa Fe. So
(08:20):
it will cloper up traffic, no doubt about that. In
this week long projects to keep that in mind. But
everything else so far looking good. We'll keep you advised.

AOA news time five oh nine for your business and
money news. Over thirty two hundred Boeing workers continue to strike,
but another votes on a revised contract is expected on Thursday.
The workers on the picket lines mainly build fighter jets
and weapons systems and the US Air Force as there
three months strike is causing delays in delivery. If you
(08:52):
feel like your grocery bill keeps going up, well it's
not your imagination.
Speaker 11 (08:57):
The Denver metro area has the highest inflation change in
the country over the last two months. This is according
to finance website wallet hub, which track numbers for major
metro areas across the country. Daniel Tavani from Colorado State
University says housing, food, and natural gas costs are big
drivers in Denver, Los Angeles and Chicago. Are numbers two
(09:18):
and three. I'm Cynthia Vail from.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
ABC News Wall Street. Now AI shares came roaring back
one day, sending the DASTA composite soaring two at a
quarter percent. The SMP rows one and a half percent. Yesterday,
the now Jones gained three hundred and eighty one points
to land at forty seven three sixty nine. Prepare to
say a ribaderci to Italian pasta. With President Trump's tariffs
(09:41):
on their product climbing to over one hundred percent, Italian
pasta companies say it's too expensive to export to America.
They could start to pull out of US markets as
early as January. Tyson Foods expects annual revenues to rise
between two and four percent this year. The company says
sales of chicken are making up for what it says
is soft in beef, with customers pushed away by higher prices.
(10:04):
Sony Group this morning posted a stronger than expected rise
in second quarter operating profit. Also announced a six D
forty nine million dollars share buyback. Sony saw gains in
its imaging segment, which produces advanced semiconductor products, Jim Ryan, ABC.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
When the Broncos host the Chiefs on Sunday, w without
linebacker Alex Singleton. He underwent surgery for a testicular cancer
on Friday. He was a diagnosed following a random drug
test that flagged indicators, resulting in further evaluation. The cancer
did not spread to other parts of his Singleton says
after the diagnosis, the team, medical staff and his wife
(11:05):
took on all the pressure of the doctors appointments and
surgery planning.
Speaker 16 (11:09):
What I wanted to do was just focus on football
for the week, for the Thursday game and just kind
of not let it changed my life yet, if that
makes sense, you know, because it's still so shocking, and
so they were all so good about that, and so yeah,
it's been a whirlwin.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It's still not known exactly how much time Singleton will
miss as he recovers from the surgery. KOA coverage of
Sunday's Broncos Chiefs game starts at eight am, with kickoff
at two twenty five. It was a low scoring Monday
night football game. The Eagles beat the Packers ten to seven.
The Giants have fired their coach, Brian Dabell after a
two and eight start. Offensive coordinator Mike Kofka will be
(11:47):

The Avs are at home, hosting the Ducks. They will
try to win their fourth game in a row. I'm
Chad Bauer on the radio home of the Broncos, Buffs
and Rockies and KOA Sports this afternoon at three.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Holiday shopping with your AI sidekick.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
We'll explain in our Tech Tuesday Chat.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Next, take a look your drive with Jonathan Steel my
KA traffic Center.
Speaker 15 (13:03):
Yeah, big delays here early on two seventy. Unfortunately, we've
got a big old crash working on the eastbound side.
It's just past York now. It is the right side
of the highway that's blocked up. I can't it's so dark,
I can't see what's involved, but I know there's a
whole bunch of emergency equipment because the lights are a
flash in there and everyone's pushing to the left to
get around it. It is backed up over I seventy
(13:23):
six to the I twenty five interchange. So folks coming
in off the turnpike or the north end I twenty
five even I seventy six, definitely stick with I twenty
five to I seventy No delays there. They're still wide open.
Everything else looks good. Kenya is a good drive as
well as you're heading two or even from the airport's
roughly fifteen minutes. It looks like construction has been wrapped up.
On two two five it was north out up from Alameda.
(13:44):
There was some slowing earlier, but now it looks pretty good.
So the rest of the freeway system is still at
the post it's peed limit. Of course, it's Veterans Day holiday,
some folks aren't working, and that might mean a lighter
of the normal drive.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Certainly, we'll keep the advice.
Speaker 15 (13:56):
Jonathan Steel on KA A fifty Am and not four ONEFM.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
KOA News Time five twenty. The holiday shopping season practically here,
and days of lining up at the big box retailers
on Black Friday really feel like a thing of the past.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Not only our more consumers shopping.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Online, but AI assisted search tools maybe coming into play.
Joining us on the KWA Common Spirit Hall hotline for
our Tech Tuesday chat is ABC News Tech reporter Mike Debuski. Mike,
appreciate your time as always. Okay, paint a picture. What
does shopping look like nowadays? If we're talking more and
more use of AI.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
So there's some new numbers out that we can look
to to help us understand what this holiday shopping season
is going to look like from a tech perspective. These
numbers come from Adobe Analytics, which found that in the
month of October, so last month, eighty eight point seven
billion dollars was spent online by Americans, and a good
chunk of that came on Amazon Pride Day, which was
(14:54):
October seventh and eighth. Americans spent about nine point one
billion dollars during those days. Both of those numbers that
we mentioned are increases over last year. So people are
spending more money this year, it seems, and as you mentioned,
AI is.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Playing a bigger and bigger role.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Adobe says that in October, traffic from AI platforms, so
from the Chat, GPTs and Google geminis of the world
two retail sites was up twelve hundred percent, and once
a person got to a retailer, they were sixteen percent
more likely to buy something. This is something that Adobe
found was true in September as well. So it seems
(15:33):
like more people are using these AI tools to get
to retail websites and increasingly to buy things once they
get there.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
So how are they using it, Mike? Are we seeing
people maybe.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Like searching what's the best gift for a mother for
Mother's Day or whatever it is, and then AI is
generating links to websites exactly exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
So you go to chat GPT, for instance, and you
try to, you know, do what many people do on
these websites, which is ID eight kind of bounce a
couple ideas off of the AI to get a better
sense of, in this case, what you should buy for
your friends and family members ahead of the holiday shopping season.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Once they do that.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
These services have increasingly been integrating payment and checkout methods
as well, so instead of just providing you links to
Walmart or Amazon dot com, you can actually go through
the full buying process on chat GPT without ever leaving
the app. Increasingly, they've been partnering up with companies like Walmart.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
That happened within the last few weeks.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Also, Shopify will now let you check out all through
chat GPT, and of course their competitors have similar products
as well.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is a.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Really interesting thing to keep an eye on as we
get into the really busy time of the year for
holiday shopping. Just how many people are going to be
doing their shopping with the help of AI, but not
even you know, moving away from that platform, staying on
that platform and doing the whole buying process through a
generative artificial intelligence tool.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
It is really fascinating.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I am curious though, Mike, if any reasons has been
done maybe on the flip side, like let's say a
small business taking advantage of AI, maybe trying to figure
out nearing down what their consumers are looking for.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yeah, and certainly that's a big piece of this. One
of the things that these AI tools are really good
at is helping you kind of get your ideas together
to help inform thinking, not necessarily to provide you with
a correct answer all of the time.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
They still do struggle with.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
That, but in terms of just kind of getting through
the ideas phase, getting through the in this case, trying
to figure out where your consumers are, what they might
like in terms of advertising or ad placement in that
type of thing. These things are pretty good at that,
and they can draw from a pretty deep well of
research depending on what tool you're using. So yeah, there's
(17:43):
this piece of it as well. However, it's also worth
mentioning that the AI market in general is looking increasingly unstable.
There was a McKinsey survey from last week that found
that while ninety percent of companies they surveyed are actually
regularly using AI, nearly two two thirds are not deploying
it at scale. That means that nearly three years after
(18:04):
the launch of chat Ept, most companies are still in
the wait and see phase of this technology, and moreover,
less than forty percent of them report any impact on
earnings when they use AI. It was not so long
ago that MIT did a study that found ninety five
percent of AI pilot programs at companies failed to increase
(18:25):
profits or save on costs.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Well, for those.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Who are scrambling to get those Christmas gifts, you got
forty three days, eighteen hours, thirty five minutes, and thirty
three seconds shouting yeah for anything like that.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
ABC News Tech reporter Mike to Buski.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Thanks Mike, of course, take care a light at the
end of the government shutdown tunnel.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
We'll get the latest coming up in the newscast.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Taking a look at your drive first, let's go to
Jonathan Steel and the k WAIT traffic Center.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, we're still seeing those delays on TO seventy.
Speaker 15 (18:51):
Trying to get through Commerce City coming off the north
end of I twenty five or the northern community using
TO seventy normally a shortcut, but not this morning, at
least not here early right lane block past York. So
you want to get to on I twenty five dit seventy.
The work around that, it is still a pretty solid
jam up. Other than that, we're doing pretty well everywhere else.
It's still very very light out here. East side I
(19:13):
seven looks good. Coming west from Panya, it's about ten
minutes back to I twenty five and two two five
it's about a ten minute commute. Also, just keep in
mind sata Fe is closed all week long. Northbound north
of Alameda. Detours are in place. Jonathan Steel on KWA

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Tuesday morning, on Colorado's morning news Fox thirty one pinpoint weather, well,
no need to adjust your calendar because it is November. Yes,
it is November, but it sure doesn't feel like it.
High temperatures again, hovering around the low seventies this afternoon.
Similar pattern for much of this work week before we
see a slight cool down for the weekend. Currently it's
(20:08):
sixty degrees in Denver. Well, it's not quite a done deal,
but Congress closer to ending the government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
On this vote, the eyes are sixty, the nays are forty.
The bill as amended has passed.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
That was the vote in the US Senate to on
a measure to funds the government into next year. Now
it's up to the House to get back and pass
it so they can reopen the government, possibly as soon
as tomorrow.
Speaker 17 (20:31):
Eight Democrats not up for reelection next year, broke ranks
to vote with Republicans, even though the deal does not
include Democrats key demand to extend Obamacare subsidies and prevent
insurance premiums from skyrocketing.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
At ABC's line of moyees, neither Colorado Senator Michael Bennett
nor John Higginloop are voted in favor of the bill.
Due to the stalemate over healthcare subsidies. No votes scheduled
today for Veterans Day. The House is expected to take
up the measure tomorrow. If it passes, goes to the
White House for President Trump's signature. Despite the vote, the
traveled nightmare continues to grow for airline passengers, with more
(21:08):
than seven thousand flights across the country canceled since Friday.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I think it's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
There is a no re embarksement or anything's right to
pay for hotel.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So yeah, it was mad craziness.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
The FAA is still forcing airlines to cancel flights because
of the shortage of air traffic controllers. Four percent of
flights were canceled over the weekend. That will be ramping
up to six percent today and possibly ten percent by Friday.
Also affecting travel a bitter taste of winter.
Speaker 18 (21:34):
The first major snowstorm of the season, wreaking havoc on
highways across the heartland. The powerful system bringing wide out
conditions around South Bend, Indiana up to two inches an
hour and howling wind, more than a foot of snow
in some spots of plows trying to keep up all
over the region.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
ABC's Alex Perez as the cold is reaching deep into
the South. Atlanta and Nashville colder than New York or Boston.
So where is all of color ATTO's snow? National Weather
Service meteorologists Maggie I. Deckers says there's no chance for
any snow anytime soon.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
We're looking at temperatures about ten to fifteen degrees above
normal currently.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
She says the next chance for snow on the Front
Range is late next week, which would move this season
close to the top ten latest snowfalls. The lack of
snow also taking a toll on our local ski resorts,
preventing them from opening more terrain.
Speaker 19 (22:24):
The snowpack in Colorado's high country is at twenty percent
of normal, with windy, dry conditions forecast the next few days.
NWS meteorologists Maggie Idecker is forecasting snow at the end
of the week so we.
Speaker 20 (22:36):
Have a system coming through over the weekend which could
bring more light snowshowers to the mountain.
Speaker 19 (22:42):
She says, a couple good storms is all it takes
to turn the tables on the ski season quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Connor Shree, I can't wait news.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
The Douglas County School Board set to vote today on
a measure involving transgender athletes.
Speaker 20 (22:53):
The proposal says girls athletic teams cannot be open to
participation by biological male students and vice versa. This would
also apply to locker rooms and hotels for any trips
that these students may take.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Now.
Speaker 20 (23:05):
The board says this change is needed so the district
can comply with an executive order that President Trump signed
back in February.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
That order told the federal.
Speaker 20 (23:13):
Government to pull any funding from educational programs that deprive
women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.
Speaker 9 (23:20):
That's Fox thirty one's Kosha carriage.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Police in Canyon City have seized a number of slot
machines and evidence after raiding of business accused of running
illegal gaming operations. Investigators are executed a search warrant at
Maths Skills Gaming on Royal Gorge Boulevard last week following
an eleven month long investigation. The search was carried out
with help from the Fremont County Sheriff's Office and the
Colorado Division of Gaming. Police say so called skill based
(23:46):
or fish games often qualify as illegal gaming under state law.
Downtown Aurora has a new organization to help it spruce
up the downtown area.
Speaker 11 (23:55):
Aurora is moving forward with plans to set up a
Downtown Development Authority for East Colfax Avenue. This comes after
voter's approved creation of the economic tool and a special
election last week. The DDA will use tax in government
financing to improve safety, housing, and business opportunities in the
area known as Original Aora. The board will be appointed
(24:16):
by the mayor and confirmed by majority vote in city council.
Cynthia Alkoa, a twenty eight year old man, avoids prison
time after admitting he hit an elderly couple crossing the
street in Castle Rock while he was driving drunk. Sixty
nine year old Craig Costa eventually died from his injuries.

A hotel operator with multiple locations in Denver shutting down.
Sonder ceased all operations in the US early yesterday, and
all non US operations will be closing as soon as possible.

In KOA Sports, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton has announced he
underwent successful surgery for testicular cancer on Friday. It was
diagnosed after a random drug test that flagged some indicators
and he underwent further testing. Singleton played and Thursday's win
over the Raiders and then underwent surgery the next day.
He talked about the support he has received.
Speaker 16 (29:52):
What they've done this past week has been like remarkable
and truly incredible. And my teammates have been the same way.
A couple of them new before surgery going into the week.
But you know, I really just told everybody here at
ten o'clock this morning, and I think, you know, just
nothing but support and just love.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
And Singleton won't play Sunday against the Chiefs. It's not
known yet how much time he'll miss. KOI coverage of
Sunday's Broncos Chiefs game starts at eight am, with kickoff

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni on the life lessons his players
can learn from this game.
Speaker 25 (30:33):
I try to correlate those things as much as I
possibly can to life is because you're gonna be up sometimes,
you're going to be down sometimes, But it's about how
you respond and it's about how you be in the
moment for that next one, because all that matters is
that next play and learn it from the past.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
The Eagles have won three consecutive games to improve to

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Despite a tied vote, Denver's next budget will be implemented.
The city council will split six to six on Mayor
Mike Johnston's one point sixty six billion dollars spending plan yesterday.
Measures that wind up in a tie are usually considered dead,
but budget measures are an exception. The city charter says
that any budget not passed by the council will still
take effect with all the approved amendments. A sixty four
(32:09):
year old Colorado man who spent nearly two decades in
prison for a murderer he did not commit, has died
at the age of sixty four. Robert Dewey was sentenced
to life in prison for the death of nineteen year
old J. C. Taylor and Palisade back in nineteen ninety four.
After DNA evidence exonerated him, he was set free. Dewey
then helped Colorado pass a new law to require the
(32:29):
state to compensate people were wrongfully incarcerated.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Some people say if it ain't broke, don't fix it,
but system growth.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
He was awarded more than a million dollars a year
after his release, but he said the money didn't bring
him peace of mind for what he went through. And
a new study suggests coffee may help protect against an

Speaker 24 (32:48):
More than ten million Americans live with a heart disorder
known as a FIB that could lead to heart failure
and blood clots. The research results of a four year
clinical trial presented at the American Heart Association Company and
showed drinking just one cup of coffee per day appeared
to have a protective effect on a FIB recurrence.
Speaker 9 (33:05):
On Monica Nelson.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
You heard Chad mention it at the top of his
sports cast. Well more on Alex Singleton's cancer surgery, and
here from Bronco's sideline reporter Susie Wargin coming up next,
taking a look at your Tuesday morning drives. Let's go
to Jonathan Steele on the KWA Traffic Center.
Speaker 15 (33:20):
Yeah, a little bit of good news there on two seventy.
They've pretty much cleared up the accident. They've opened up
the lanes anyway. There's just one car with its four
ways on the right shoulder there. It's still drawing maybe
a little bit of attention, and it's still jamming coming
off I seventy six right too about York, and then
it eases pretty nicely. The rest of the way out
to I seventy. I seventy to the east actually looks
(33:41):
pretty good for us. The westbound side of two seventies
starting to get a little bit busier also, but not
really in the delay mode. The rest of the freeway
system is still fairly light. We're seeing build up here
and there, certainly north end I twenty five, oh I
seventy six westbound. Of course, that long ramp to southbound
twenty five is pretty slow. I think maybe that's because
folks avoiding the two to seventy rap itself, so uh,
(34:03):
you can hop on there. I guess it's going to
take a few extra minutes, certainly. I think it should
be getting back to normal here shortly. But everything else
is good to go. Jonathan Steele on KA eight fifty
am and ninety four one.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
FM KOA News Time five fifty one now on Colorado's
Morning News. An emotional and personal announcement from one of
the Broncos team captains after linebacker Alex Singleton announced that
he underwent surgery last Friday for testicular cancer.
Speaker 16 (34:29):
What I wanted to do was just focus on football
for the week, for the Thursday game and just kind
of not let it change my life yet, if that
makes sense, you know, because it was it's you know,
still so shocking, and so they were all so good
about that and that, so yeah, it's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Koa's Connor Sree spoke with Broncos' sideline reporter Susie Warden,
where she explained more about Singleton's diagnosis.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Alex Singleton is unbelievable.
Speaker 26 (34:54):
He found out earlier last week that he had a
potential four to particular cancer. He played in Thursday's game
against the Raiders, was tied for the most total tackles
with nine. Then Friday morning underwent surgery and thankfully, doctors
think that they detected the tumor early enough and he's
got a great prognosis.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
What is he like?
Speaker 26 (35:15):
Alex is a captain for a reason. The guys love him.
He is very energetic, he's very supportive. He's always there
for his teammates and they're here for him. And he
is one of those guys that when he was out
with the ACL injury, he was always around the team.
They were rallying around him, and I know they'll do
the same thing with this. He's just one of those
(35:36):
guys that people gravitate towards for a reason.
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Just a great guy.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
This team kind of rallies.
Speaker 26 (35:42):
Absolutely, Yeah, it's this has been a very interesting locker
room this year, and not that it's been divided in
the past, but it's a very very cohesive locker room
and so I am sure he's going to get support
from every part of the team. And he mentioned in
his social media post top to bottom he thanked the owners,
thanked all the doctors, thanked a lot of front office people,
(36:03):
and of course his family and teammates and everybody in between,
because that's how this organization works.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It's my understanding. He kind of found out in a
flukey way, he did.
Speaker 26 (36:12):
Yeah, So a couple of weeks ago, he took one
of the regular random NFL drug tests and when the
test came back, he had elevated hCG levels, and he
said in his social media post, Hey, I don't put
anything in my body that I don't know what it is.
So he knew something had to be off, and that's
when he went and got to a urologist and got
checked out, and that's when they found that he had
(36:34):
the possibility of having testicular cancer.
Speaker 19 (36:36):
Well, thanks for walking up the steps to do this, Susie.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Is there anything you want to add? I will add
one thing.
Speaker 26 (36:43):
The one thing that I really appreciate that he put
in his social media post is just making sure that
you stay in tune with your body. If you feel
that something's not right, get yourself checked out. Because that's
how he knew that something wasn't quite right, because that
test should not have come back the way that it did,
and he was very proactive and get figured out and
early detection is key. Too many of us are affected
(37:03):
by cancer, so hopefully he can be a good proponent
for that, and that's something he wants to be now.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
That's Bronco's sideline reporter Susie Wargon with koa's Connor Shreve.
In that post, Singleton said he fully expects to return
to the field in the coming weeks.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Portions of the following program were prerecorded.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Wrapping up the show here on Colorado's Morning News as
Ross Kaminsky is stepping in and he unlike I guess
me and Dragon didn't get stuck in the elevator this morning.
Speaker 27 (37:31):
I only heard about it after I got upstairs. It's
kind of like the the Price is Right thing, where
you know, pick door number one, door number two.
Speaker 9 (37:38):
And door number three, door number two.
Speaker 27 (37:40):
Right, I guess you two both picked door How long
did you get stuck?
Speaker 10 (37:43):
For?
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Probably like five minutes? And the worst part, I don't
know about you. It kept going up and down for me.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Okay, so I just started to.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yeah, I had to call Brenda in the newsroom, and
then she had to try to hit down to just
call that elevator. And of course door number one opens,
and then door number three opens. I'm banging on it,
being like, I can hear you on the other side.
Speaker 9 (38:05):
But don't take door number two today.
Speaker 27 (38:07):
Okay, you and Dragon both, that's some bad luck. We'd
have to do math to figure out what are the
chances that you both end up picking door number two
if it were random, Yeah, one out of three to
one out of one out of nine that you would
both pick that one.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 27 (38:20):
Yeah, they told me there'd be no math.
Speaker 9 (38:23):
What do we got coming up to?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 27 (38:24):
All right, well, it's Veterans Day. I want to talk
about that a little bit. Uh and uh eight thirty.
I know it feels like a long time from now,
but I'm so excited to have Leanne Morgan on the show.
Just an incredibly funny comedian who Southern bell. Yeah, we
got an immense amount of stuff to talk about. I
won't even try to go through it all, but it's

just yeah, way more than we're going to get to today.
But Gina and I are gonna have some fun.
Speaker 9 (38:49):

Good Tuesday morning, Gina Gondack go on Colorado's morning news
Fox thirty one Pinpoint. Weather mostly sunny, unseasonably warm again today.
High temperature should be in the low seventies, seventies again tomorrow.
Looks like we'll see some fifties again by the weekend,
but still a very warm work week. Currently where I
fifty eight in Denver. A vote to end the record
(00:47):
breaking government shutdown.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
After six excruciating weeks.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
I will stop talking and let all of you get
some rest.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Send a majority Leader John Foon talking about the bipartisan
vote that ends the forty days of tens agiations between
Democrats and Republicans. The final sixty to forty, with eight
Democrats joining Republicans in supports. Colorado Senators John Hickenlooper and
Michael Bennett were not among those breaking ranks. South Carolina
Senator Lindsey Graham praising those who pushed the bill over
(01:15):
the finish line, eight.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Senators like Senator Feederman, who put the country ahead.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
Of party, and I cannot thank him and the other
seven enough. They did the cuntry of great service.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
The measure would fund the government through the end of
January and put hundreds of federal workers back to work
with back pay. It still has to clear the House,
though a vote could be taking place tomorrow. President Trump
says old bide by the deal ending the shutdown, hoping
to get the government opened as quickly as possible, and
he does say he plans to revisit subsidies of four
(01:46):
Affordable Care Act premiums.
Speaker 8 (01:48):
The President says he prefers a new plan that sends
money to the people instead of insurance companies, so that
they can purchase their own quote much better healthcare and
have money left over. Oponent's criticizing President Trump's plant overhaul
the nation's healthcare system, saying it'll dismantle the Affordable Care
Act altogether for millions of Americans.
Speaker 9 (02:09):
That's Fox's Sue Guzman.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
The vote to reopen the government provides no relief at
the nation's airports, says delays and cancelations continue due to
the shutdown. Kathy Martinez just had her flight to Italy canceled.
Speaker 10 (02:21):
I'm very frustrated, but you know, this is life and
you gotta do what you can do.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Because of the shortage of air traffic controllers, the FAA
ordered the airlines to cut four percent of their flights
over the weekend. That increases to six percent today and
ten percent by Friday.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
Our social media poll question for this morning.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
With the snowballing cancelations of flights nationwide, are you planning
to fly for Thanksgiving? You can engage with us on
our platforms or leave us a talkback. Hit the red
mic button on the iHeartRadio app. Despite not passing, Denver's
twenty twenty six city budget goes into effect next year.
Speaker 11 (02:55):
The vote was six to six, with one council member absent,
so the two twenty six budget did not get enough
votes to pass, But because the deadline to have a
budget in place is November twelfth, the rules state that
the proposed budget with amendments is official as if adopted.
By counsel. Ten amendments to Mayor Mike Johnston's budget added
about nine million dollars in additional spending for next year.
(03:19):
His office calls it the most conservative budget in the
last fifteen years, outside of the pandemic Cynthia Veilkoa.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
The outgoing Douglas County School Board is about to vote
on last minute charter school extensions. The charter schools will
have little to no oversight for the next ten years
under the measure. Four conservative county school board members were
voted out in last week's election, so they don't have
answers to the votes for two voters for today's vote.
The current charter renewal in Douglas County is every five years.
(03:50):
Another reminder for Denver Public schools to slow it down.
This after three students on their way to school last
week were sent to the hospital and separate crashes.
Speaker 9 (04:00):
Here's DPS is Scott Pribble.
Speaker 12 (04:01):
We are seeing an uptick in cars and drivers blowing
through our extended stop arm with our school buses with
the red lights flashing, which is an obvious violation called
on a law.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Failing to stop for a school bus could cost you
a fine of up to three hundred dollars. Miraculously, no
one was injured with a single engine plane crash landing
on a road in Castle Rock yesterday. This happened just
before six point fifteen on Prairie Hawk Drive, near the
intersection with Wolfensburger Road, just west of By twenty five.
It's unclear how many people were on board the plane,
(04:32):
but police say everyone on and the car it hits
we're able to walk away. A popular route into downtown
closed for the next several days.
Speaker 13 (04:42):
Santa Fe Drive is completely closed north of Cedar while
BNSF Railroad replaces the railroad tracks. They say the replacement
is for public safety and they expect to have everything
reopened by this weekend. I Meanwhile, northbounders should consider using
Lincoln Street to the east or Federal Boulevard to the
west as an alternate route out. You can still access
the ramp to North Benday twenty five at Cedar, but
(05:03):
the delays at Alameda and Santa Fe make it very
much worth your time to just use another on ramp.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Nia Bender Kaway news.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Denver police releasing new details and an officer re multi
shooting at Maverick gas station on Parker Road last month.
It turns out the two store clerks who were injured
were hit by police gun fire. Officers fired nearly sixty
rounds in a deadly shootout with thirty five year old
Hosia Moore. Police DPD commander Matt Clark says Moore was
clearly looking for confrontation with police.
Speaker 10 (05:33):
Mister Moore entered the store and requested a pack of
cigarettes from the cashier. When he couldn't pay for the cigarettes,
he asked for an individual cigarette instead. The clerks offered
mister moore fountain drink. Mister Moore produced a firearm and
demanded the clerks locked the door and turn off lights.
Mister Moore told the clerks to call the police.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Moore fired ten shots at police, striking one of the
officers in the leg. Officers returned fire, killing more and
wounding the two clerks.
Speaker 9 (05:56):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Heading to Canada to meet international counterparts today.
Speaker 14 (06:02):
Canada is hosting G seven meetings this year and it's
the turn of foreign ministers to put their heads together.
Marco Rubio will meet top diplomats from the likes of
the UK, France, Germany and Japan in Niagara, Ontario. He
plans to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to bring peace
to Ukraine and Gaza, plus security concerns in Haiti and Sudan.
(06:22):
When G seven leaders met in June, they struggled to
unite behind a plan to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Secretary Rubio's also got points to raise on critical minerals
and global supply chains. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Italian exporters now Warren. President Trump's terrafs could mean Italian
pasta could be disappearing from US store shelves in January,
and you'd need a lot of pasta and carbs in
order to prepare for what may be one of the
hardest races on the planet.
Speaker 9 (06:50):
It's not a marathon. This is an ultra marathon.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
It was a run in Antarctica where wind chills hit
thirty one below. The winner the Chinese runner who managed
to do it in twenty two hours and forty minutes,
beating the record by forty three minutes. You're up to
day on Colorado's Morning News. Some sticker shock in the
grocery aisle. We'll get the latest coming up in business
and money news. Let's take a look at your early
(07:14):
Tuesday morning drive. We go to the KWA Traffic Center
and say good morning to Jonathan Steel.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, good morning to you.
Speaker 15 (07:19):
Happy Tuesday, And unfortunately we're starting off with a crash
on two seventy. This is going to be the eastbound side.
It's just past York near the oil refineries. I can't
tell what lanes blocked. It looks like both lanes may
actually be affected. It is already backed up over I
seventy six back to the I twenty five interchange. So
for folks up north, stick with I twenty five to seventy.
(07:40):
That way, you can certainly avoid this big delay that's
been developing because it's just barely crawling along through that stretch.
We had a little construction on two to two five
earlier northbound up from Alameda.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
They may have already picked up those cones.
Speaker 15 (07:52):
It was a little slow, but I'm not seeing anything
that's too disruptive right now coming through Aurora with.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
The sata FE closure.
Speaker 15 (07:59):
All so, just a reminder about that northbound from just
north of Alameda up to bay On. You know, the
alternate routes they are suggesting are as far as west
as Federal which you'll take you up to sixth Avenue
and back to the interstate. But you could also use
Cherokee or even Bannock. You could take that north through
the neighborhood and cut back on to Santa Fe. So
(08:20):
it will cloper up traffic, no doubt about that. In
this week long projects to keep that in mind. But
everything else so far looking good. We'll keep you advised.
Jonathan Steel on KA eight fifty am and ninety four

AOA news time five oh nine for your business and
money news. Over thirty two hundred Boeing workers continue to strike,
but another votes on a revised contract is expected on Thursday.
The workers on the picket lines mainly build fighter jets
and weapons systems and the US Air Force as there
three months strike is causing delays in delivery. If you
(08:52):
feel like your grocery bill keeps going up, well it's
not your imagination.

The Denver metro area has the highest inflation change in
the country over the last two months. This is according
to finance website wallet hub, which track numbers for major
metro areas across the country. Daniel Tavani from Colorado State
University says housing, food, and natural gas costs are big
drivers in Denver, Los Angeles and Chicago. Are numbers two

When the Broncos host the Chiefs on Sunday, w without
linebacker Alex Singleton. He underwent surgery for a testicular cancer
on Friday. He was a diagnosed following a random drug
test that flagged indicators, resulting in further evaluation. The cancer
did not spread to other parts of his Singleton says
after the diagnosis, the team, medical staff and his wife
(11:05):
took on all the pressure of the doctors appointments and
surgery planning.
Speaker 16 (11:09):
What I wanted to do was just focus on football
for the week, for the Thursday game and just kind
of not let it changed my life yet, if that
makes sense, you know, because it's still so shocking, and
so they were all so good about that, and so yeah,
it's been a whirlwin.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It's still not known exactly how much time Singleton will
miss as he recovers from the surgery. KOA coverage of
Sunday's Broncos Chiefs game starts at eight am, with kickoff
at two twenty five. It was a low scoring Monday
night football game. The Eagles beat the Packers ten to seven.
The Giants have fired their coach, Brian Dabell after a

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Holiday shopping with your AI sidekick.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
We'll explain in our Tech Tuesday Chat.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Next, take a look your drive with Jonathan Steel my
KA traffic Center.
Speaker 15 (13:03):
Yeah, big delays here early on two seventy. Unfortunately, we've
got a big old crash working on the eastbound side.
It's just past York now. It is the right side
of the highway that's blocked up. I can't it's so dark,
I can't see what's involved, but I know there's a
whole bunch of emergency equipment because the lights are a
flash in there and everyone's pushing to the left to
get around it. It is backed up over I seventy
(13:23):
six to the I twenty five interchange. So folks coming
in off the turnpike or the north end I twenty
five even I seventy six, definitely stick with I twenty
five to I seventy No delays there. They're still wide open.
Everything else looks good. Kenya is a good drive as
well as you're heading two or even from the airport's
roughly fifteen minutes. It looks like construction has been wrapped up.
On two two five it was north out up from Alameda.
(13:44):
There was some slowing earlier, but now it looks pretty good.
So the rest of the freeway system is still at
the post it's peed limit. Of course, it's Veterans Day holiday,
some folks aren't working, and that might mean a lighter
of the normal drive.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Certainly, we'll keep the advice.
Speaker 15 (13:56):
Jonathan Steel on KA A fifty Am and not four ONEFM.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
KOA News Time five twenty. The holiday shopping season practically here,
and days of lining up at the big box retailers
on Black Friday really feel like a thing of the past.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Not only our more consumers shopping.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Online, but AI assisted search tools maybe coming into play.
Joining us on the KWA Common Spirit Hall hotline for
our Tech Tuesday chat is ABC News Tech reporter Mike Debuski. Mike,
appreciate your time as always. Okay, paint a picture. What
does shopping look like nowadays? If we're talking more and
more use of AI.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
So there's some new numbers out that we can look
to to help us understand what this holiday shopping season
is going to look like from a tech perspective. These
numbers come from Adobe Analytics, which found that in the
month of October, so last month, eighty eight point seven
billion dollars was spent online by Americans, and a good
chunk of that came on Amazon Pride Day, which was
(14:54):
October seventh and eighth. Americans spent about nine point one
billion dollars during those days. Both of those numbers that
we mentioned are increases over last year. So people are
spending more money this year, it seems, and as you mentioned,
AI is.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Playing a bigger and bigger role.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
Adobe says that in October, traffic from AI platforms, so
from the Chat, GPTs and Google geminis of the world
two retail sites was up twelve hundred percent, and once
a person got to a retailer, they were sixteen percent
more likely to buy something. This is something that Adobe
found was true in September as well. So it seems
(15:33):
like more people are using these AI tools to get
to retail websites and increasingly to buy things once they
get there.
Speaker 9 (15:40):
So how are they using it, Mike? Are we seeing
people maybe.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Like searching what's the best gift for a mother for
Mother's Day or whatever it is, and then AI is
generating links to websites exactly exactly.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
So you go to chat GPT, for instance, and you
try to, you know, do what many people do on
these websites, which is ID eight kind of bounce a
couple ideas off of the AI to get a better
sense of, in this case, what you should buy for
your friends and family members ahead of the holiday shopping season.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Once they do that.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
These services have increasingly been integrating payment and checkout methods
as well, so instead of just providing you links to
Walmart or Amazon dot com, you can actually go through
the full buying process on chat GPT without ever leaving
the app. Increasingly, they've been partnering up with companies like Walmart.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
That happened within the last few weeks.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Also, Shopify will now let you check out all through
chat GPT, and of course their competitors have similar products
as well.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That is a.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Really interesting thing to keep an eye on as we
get into the really busy time of the year for
holiday shopping. Just how many people are going to be
doing their shopping with the help of AI, but not
even you know, moving away from that platform, staying on
that platform and doing the whole buying process through a
generative artificial intelligence tool.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
It is really fascinating.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I am curious though, Mike, if any reasons has been
done maybe on the flip side, like let's say a
small business taking advantage of AI, maybe trying to figure
out nearing down what their consumers are looking for.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
Yeah, and certainly that's a big piece of this. One
of the things that these AI tools are really good
at is helping you kind of get your ideas together
to help inform thinking, not necessarily to provide you with
a correct answer all of the time.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
They still do struggle with.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
That, but in terms of just kind of getting through
the ideas phase, getting through the in this case, trying
to figure out where your consumers are, what they might
like in terms of advertising or ad placement in that
type of thing. These things are pretty good at that,
and they can draw from a pretty deep well of
research depending on what tool you're using. So yeah, there's
(17:43):
this piece of it as well. However, it's also worth
mentioning that the AI market in general is looking increasingly unstable.
There was a McKinsey survey from last week that found
that while ninety percent of companies they surveyed are actually
regularly using AI, nearly two two thirds are not deploying
it at scale. That means that nearly three years after
(18:04):
the launch of chat Ept, most companies are still in
the wait and see phase of this technology, and moreover,
less than forty percent of them report any impact on
earnings when they use AI. It was not so long
ago that MIT did a study that found ninety five
percent of AI pilot programs at companies failed to increase
(18:25):
profits or save on costs.
Speaker 9 (18:27):
Well, for those.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Who are scrambling to get those Christmas gifts, you got
forty three days, eighteen hours, thirty five minutes, and thirty
three seconds shouting yeah for anything like that.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
ABC News Tech reporter Mike to Buski.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Thanks Mike, of course, take care a light at the
end of the government shutdown tunnel.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
We'll get the latest coming up in the newscast.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Taking a look at your drive first, let's go to
Jonathan Steel and the k WAIT traffic Center.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, we're still seeing those delays on TO seventy.
Speaker 15 (18:51):
Trying to get through Commerce City coming off the north
end of I twenty five or the northern community using
TO seventy normally a shortcut, but not this morning, at
least not here early right lane block past York. So
you want to get to on I twenty five dit seventy.
The work around that, it is still a pretty solid
jam up. Other than that, we're doing pretty well everywhere else.
It's still very very light out here. East side I
(19:13):
seven looks good. Coming west from Panya, it's about ten
minutes back to I twenty five and two two five
it's about a ten minute commute. Also, just keep in
mind sata Fe is closed all week long. Northbound north

Tuesday morning, on Colorado's morning news Fox thirty one pinpoint weather, well,
no need to adjust your calendar because it is November. Yes,
it is November, but it sure doesn't feel like it.
High temperatures again, hovering around the low seventies this afternoon.
Similar pattern for much of this work week before we
see a slight cool down for the weekend. Currently it's
(20:08):
sixty degrees in Denver. Well, it's not quite a done deal,
but Congress closer to ending the government shutdown.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
On this vote, the eyes are sixty, the nays are forty.
The bill as amended has passed.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
That was the vote in the US Senate to on
a measure to funds the government into next year. Now
it's up to the House to get back and pass
it so they can reopen the government, possibly as soon
as tomorrow.
Speaker 17 (20:31):
Eight Democrats not up for reelection next year, broke ranks
to vote with Republicans, even though the deal does not
include Democrats key demand to extend Obamacare subsidies and prevent
insurance premiums from skyrocketing.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
At ABC's line of moyees, neither Colorado Senator Michael Bennett
nor John Higginloop are voted in favor of the bill.
Due to the stalemate over healthcare subsidies. No votes scheduled
today for Veterans Day. The House is expected to take
up the measure tomorrow. If it passes, goes to the
White House for President Trump's signature. Despite the vote, the
traveled nightmare continues to grow for airline passengers, with more
(21:08):
than seven thousand flights across the country canceled since Friday.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
I think it's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
There is a no re embarksement or anything's right to
pay for hotel.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
So yeah, it was mad craziness.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
The FAA is still forcing airlines to cancel flights because
of the shortage of air traffic controllers. Four percent of

ABC's Alex Perez as the cold is reaching deep into
the South. Atlanta and Nashville colder than New York or Boston.
So where is all of color ATTO's snow? National Weather
Service meteorologists Maggie I. Deckers says there's no chance for
any snow anytime soon.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
We're looking at temperatures about ten to fifteen degrees above
normal currently.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
She says the next chance for snow on the Front
Range is late next week, which would move this season
close to the top ten latest snowfalls. The lack of
snow also taking a toll on our local ski resorts,
preventing them from opening more terrain.
Speaker 19 (22:24):
The snowpack in Colorado's high country is at twenty percent
of normal, with windy, dry conditions forecast the next few days.
NWS meteorologists Maggie Idecker is forecasting snow at the end
of the week so we.
Speaker 20 (22:36):
Have a system coming through over the weekend which could
bring more light snowshowers to the mountain.
Speaker 19 (22:42):
She says, a couple good storms is all it takes
to turn the tables on the ski season quickly.

diagnosed after a random drug test that flagged some indicators
and he underwent further testing. Singleton played and Thursday's win
over the Raiders and then underwent surgery the next day.
He talked about the support he has received.

and truly incredible. And my teammates have been the same way.
A couple of them new before surgery going into the week.
But you know, I really just told everybody here at

Despite a tied vote, Denver's next budget will be implemented.
The city council will split six to six on Mayor
Mike Johnston's one point sixty six billion dollars spending plan yesterday.
Measures that wind up in a tie are usually considered dead,
but budget measures are an exception. The city charter says
that any budget not passed by the council will still
take effect with all the approved amendments. A sixty four
(32:09):
year old Colorado man who spent nearly two decades in
prison for a murderer he did not commit, has died

After DNA evidence exonerated him, he was set free. Dewey
then helped Colorado pass a new law to require the

to Jonathan Steele on the KWA Traffic Center.
Speaker 15 (33:20):
Yeah, a little bit of good news there on two seventy.
They've pretty much cleared up the accident. They've opened up
the lanes anyway. There's just one car with its four
ways on the right shoulder there. It's still drawing maybe
a little bit of attention, and it's still jamming coming
off I seventy six right too about York, and then
it eases pretty nicely. The rest of the way out
to I seventy. I seventy to the east actually looks
(33:41):
pretty good for us. The westbound side of two seventies
starting to get a little bit busier also, but not
really in the delay mode. The rest of the freeway
system is still fairly light. We're seeing build up here
and there, certainly north end I twenty five, oh I
seventy six westbound. Of course, that long ramp to southbound
twenty five is pretty slow. I think maybe that's because
folks avoiding the two to seventy rap itself, so uh,
(34:03):
you can hop on there. I guess it's going to
take a few extra minutes, certainly. I think it should

FM KOA News Time five fifty one now on Colorado's
Morning News. An emotional and personal announcement from one of
the Broncos team captains after linebacker Alex Singleton announced that
he underwent surgery last Friday for testicular cancer.
Speaker 16 (34:29):
What I wanted to do was just focus on football
for the week, for the Thursday game and just kind
of not let it change my life yet, if that
makes sense, you know, because it was it's you know,
still so shocking, and so they were all so good
about that and that, so yeah, it's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Koa's Connor Sree spoke with Broncos' sideline reporter Susie Warden,
where she explained more about Singleton's diagnosis.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Alex Singleton is unbelievable.
Speaker 26 (34:54):
He found out earlier last week that he had a
potential four to particular cancer. He played in Thursday's game
against the Raiders, was tied for the most total tackles
with nine. Then Friday morning underwent surgery and thankfully, doctors
think that they detected the tumor early enough and he's
got a great prognosis.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
What is he like?
Speaker 26 (35:15):
Alex is a captain for a reason. The guys love him.
He is very energetic, he's very supportive. He's always there
for his teammates and they're here for him. And he
is one of those guys that when he was out
with the ACL injury, he was always around the team.
They were rallying around him, and I know they'll do
the same thing with this. He's just one of those
(35:36):
guys that people gravitate towards for a reason.
Speaker 9 (35:39):
Just a great guy.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
This team kind of rallies.
Speaker 26 (35:42):
Absolutely, Yeah, it's this has been a very interesting locker
room this year, and not that it's been divided in
the past, but it's a very very cohesive locker room
and so I am sure he's going to get support
from every part of the team. And he mentioned in
his social media post top to bottom he thanked the owners,
thanked all the doctors, thanked a lot of front office people,
(36:03):
and of course his family and teammates and everybody in between,
because that's how this organization works.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It's my understanding. He kind of found out in a
flukey way, he did.
Speaker 26 (36:12):
Yeah, So a couple of weeks ago, he took one
of the regular random NFL drug tests and when the
test came back, he had elevated hCG levels, and he
said in his social media post, Hey, I don't put
anything in my body that I don't know what it is.
So he knew something had to be off, and that's
when he went and got to a urologist and got
checked out, and that's when they found that he had
(36:34):
the possibility of having testicular cancer.
Speaker 19 (36:36):
Well, thanks for walking up the steps to do this, Susie.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Is there anything you want to add? I will add
one thing.
Speaker 26 (36:43):
The one thing that I really appreciate that he put
in his social media post is just making sure that
you stay in tune with your body. If you feel
that something's not right, get yourself checked out. Because that's
how he knew that something wasn't quite right, because that
test should not have come back the way that it did,
and he was very proactive and get figured out and
early detection is key. Too many of us are affected
(37:03):
by cancer, so hopefully he can be a good proponent
for that, and that's something he wants to be now.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
That's Bronco's sideline reporter Susie Wargon with koa's Connor Shreve.
In that post, Singleton said he fully expects to return
to the field in the coming weeks.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Portions of the following program were prerecorded.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Wrapping up the show here on Colorado's Morning News as
Ross Kaminsky is stepping in and he unlike I guess
me and Dragon didn't get stuck in the elevator this morning.
Speaker 27 (37:31):
I only heard about it after I got upstairs. It's
kind of like the the Price is Right thing, where
you know, pick door number one, door number two.
Speaker 9 (37:38):
And door number three, door number two.
Speaker 27 (37:40):
Right, I guess you two both picked door How long
did you get stuck?
Speaker 10 (37:43):
For?
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Probably like five minutes? And the worst part, I don't
know about you. It kept going up and down for me.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Okay, so I just started to.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
Yeah, I had to call Brenda in the newsroom, and
then she had to try to hit down to just
call that elevator. And of course door number one opens,
and then door number three opens. I'm banging on it,
being like, I can hear you on the other side.
Speaker 9 (38:05):
But don't take door number two today.
Speaker 27 (38:07):
Okay, you and Dragon both, that's some bad luck. We'd
have to do math to figure out what are the
chances that you both end up picking door number two
if it were random, Yeah, one out of three to
one out of one out of nine that you would
both pick that one.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 27 (38:20):
Yeah, they told me there'd be no math.
Speaker 9 (38:23):
What do we got coming up to?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 27 (38:24):
All right, well, it's Veterans Day. I want to talk
about that a little bit. Uh and uh eight thirty.
I know it feels like a long time from now,
but I'm so excited to have Leanne Morgan on the show.
Just an incredibly funny comedian who Southern bell. Yeah, we
got an immense amount of stuff to talk about. I
won't even try to go through it all, but it's
(38:45):
just yeah, way more than we're going to get to today.
But Gina and I are gonna have some fun.
Speaker 9 (38:49):
Roskominski on the news with me.
