Here's Fox's Jeff Paul.
Speaker 12 (01:57):
Figure the House, Mike Johnson has been urging members to
get back to Washington to vote on that funding bill.
With a simple majority, the House could restart the government,
with President Trump saying.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You'd approve it.
Speaker 12 (02:09):
But even with the shutdown's end on the horizon, there
are growing calls for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. This
episode de band from the shutdown isn't over yet, especially
when it comes to flying. With holiday travel right around
the corner. FAA officials are warning that air Traffic Control
system remains very thinly stretched.
Speaker 10 (02:29):
House Democrats are planning to address the issue of expiring
Obamacare subsidies when they vote today, and they will try
to attach an amendment to extend them for three more years.
The lack of air traffic controllers still taking a toll
on travelers, with at least twelve hundred and delays and
fifty cancelations. Twelve hundred and fifty cancelations. That is more
(02:49):
than thirty three hundred delays across the country yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Nearly one hundred of.
Speaker 10 (02:54):
Those cancelations were in and out of Denverdia already reporting
eighty seven cancelations this morning.
Speaker 13 (03:00):
Snowstorms in the Midwest are compounding problems at Chicago's O'Hare
and Midway airports, creating a ripple effect of delays across
multiple states. Air traffic controllers have missed two paychecks due
to the government shutdown. Anywhere from twenty to forty percent
are not showing up for work each day in thirty
main hubs.

The FAA's flight restrictions also affecting private planes.
Speaker 14 (03:24):
Private jet travel is currently banned at a dozen major
airports across the country, INCLUDINGDIA. This in addition to capacity
reductions at close to thirty other airports, as air Traffic
controller and TSA agent shortages have affected air travel. The
new private jet restrictions at major airports have not affected
all smaller airports. Centennial Airport officials say they haven't seen
(03:46):
a significant impact to their traffic and Centennial is still
running business flights. It's not yet clear when the Senate

The water fights between Colorado and other based states could
soon involve the Feds after the states failed to reach
a water management agreement this week See as You Colorado
Water Center. Policy scholar Jennifer Gimball says states like Colorado.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Might have to get used to more federal management. That
is what's hard I think for the Apper Basin.
Speaker 15 (04:18):
To consider is that there might be more managing in
the Apper Basin.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
By the federal government when that's not been done before,
and quite honestly, are a lot of ant fick for that.
Speaker 10 (04:27):
She says, less water and more people make it a
tough solution. Aurora police want to expand their flock camera program.
The cameras identify cars involved in crimes by the license plates.
Chief Todd Chamberlain says privacy concerns about the cameras are unwarranted.
Speaker 16 (04:42):
They don't alert to every hit. They only alert to
the hits where there's crime involved. They alert to a
hit where somebody has taken your property and is now
driving it around and most likely going to use it
to victimize somebody else.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
Chief Chamberlain says those block cameras recently helped identify the
driver involved in a deadly shooting an I two twenty five.
Police made an arrest in that case. The use of
the cameras has not been fool proof, though. Back in September,
a Columbine Valley police officer accused a woman of theft,
using flock camera images as evidence. She was able to
prove she wasn't anywhere near the scene at the time.
(05:17):
Now that officer who made the false accusation will be disciplined.
Speaker 17 (05:21):
The woman's story went viral after her ring doorbell camera
captured officer Jamie Millman handing her a citation for stealing
a package, claiming he used a flock license plate reader
to track her down. Turns out the woman had her
own video captured from her dash cam proving her innocence,
and the police chief dismissed the citation. The town administrator
(05:44):
says officer Millman will be disciplined, but won't say how.

The Northern Lights, better known as the Aurora Borealis, produced
a rainbow full of colors visible over much of our states.
David rixter in Rifle tells Fox thirty one it was
the first time he was able to capture the vibrant
red and green colors on his camera.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
First time we've really saw him.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
We spent three weeks in Alaska this summer and didn't
se him in Alaska.
Speaker 10 (07:55):
The Northern Lights occur when the Sun puts out a
mass of so strong that it reaches Earth's magnetic field,
creating a geomagnetic storm. Its image was so strong and
prompted Noah to issue an alert last night warning that
the lights could interfere with some satellite signals. It is
our social media poll question for this morning, plane and simple.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Did you see the Northern Lights last night?

the start out here for us. There is a little
bit of construction up north as you're coming into the
city along I twenty five. It's centered around one hundred
and twenty eighth Avenue left lanes block. I can see
where it's slowing traffic, but not really jamming anything up.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Very light volume out here ahead of that.
Speaker 19 (08:55):
Looks pretty good into downtown down to and from the
Denver Tech Center I seventy two seventy and great shape
based we all the freeways are doing well. We had
some construction on two D five, but it looks like
the cones have been picked up there, so we're wide
open out of Aurora and I'm not seeing anything going

certain skills.
Speaker 20 (10:05):
In an interview on Fox News, Trump said the HB

Speaker 19 (15:51):
We've got the construction up north still locking up the
left portion of the highway southbound near on A hundred
twenty eight down to one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It'll slow you down a little bit. It's kind of
a hazard.
Speaker 19 (15:59):
So schrit certainly I twenty five rested way into downtown
looks great, still looking in a very good shape down
to the tech center. Two to five to ten minute
commute out of Aurora pinions about fifteen minutes too and
from the airport and looks like two seventy about oh
maybe seven minutes. That said the very most basically as
you're heading through Convers City between I seventy six and

Well, Colorado's live music venues generate more than two billion
dollars annually, but most of them are struggling. Koa's Connors
Reeve reports on Colorado's sonic struggles not great leave.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
The National Independent Venue Association just came out and said
sixty four percent of independent venues nationwide are financially unstable.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Jesse Clark is the executive director at Denver's swallow Hill Music.
Those numbers she cites are similar in Colorado, where NIVA
says forty one percent of independent venues are profitable.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
NEVA lists inflation, anti.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Competitive practices, and predatory ticket scalping as main issues facing venues.
Swallow Hill is one of those forty one percent enjoying
annual growth. Clark says, swallow Hill has found other revenue sources.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
The other thing that we're doing is looking for things
like stage sponsors, finding people that really love and believe
in new music and up and coming artists and supporting
them so that we're able to pay artists appropriately in
our theaters here.
Speaker 23 (17:30):
And the other thing that we're.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Doing is activating more off site venues.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Swallow Hill is not a typical venue model as a
music education nonprofit, but Clark says all models are threatened.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It's challenging with rising costs and trying to keep things affordable.
It's challenging to be able to provide new, cool artists
that are up and coming in a space where everything.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Just costs so much.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
She says, consumers wait longer to buy tickets, which adds
to promoter uncertainty. Venue operators are also having to grab
well with prices in a world of increased costs.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's like, what is the tolerance for a higher ticket
price and ticket fees in an environment when we know
that that's a hot topic right national, You know, how
do we place value in the things that we do?
And as a nonprofit, we've been focusing very heavily on
the fact that we build community through music.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
KOA News Time five twenty eight Gina gandcon Colorado's Morning News.
I am so jealous of all the people that were
able to see the northern lights last night. The photos
are incredible, and I should emphasize.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Photos because I know a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (18:36):
You know, you remember Pat Woodard He posted a photo
and said you.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Could really only see it on my phone.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
When you looked at it and the sky wasn't as noticeable,
but the phone is what really picks it up. People
were seeing it throughout the state. It is our social
media poll question for this morning, but in a different
way than what we usually want to say, see did
you see the Northern lights?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
As the question sure, simple yes or no.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
But what I want to see as you commenting the
photos of what you ended up taking last night, because
we were seeing them statewide looked awesome. Living downtown, didn't
really have the opportunity to do so, though.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I did see one of our friends on Fox thirty
one who.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
Also lives downtown, who had a little bit of red
in the sky.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
So maybe if I took the time to actually.
Speaker 10 (19:16):
Look a little bit more and then I know Brad
as she said, well, I was asleep. My neighbor texted
me and then said come outside and was asleep. So
send us your photos. I love seeing them on social media.
The newscasts coming up next. Let's take a look at
your Wednesday morning drive with Jonathan Steele.
Speaker 19 (19:31):
That still quiet, not much traffic out here yet there
is actually some construction in the foothills. Didn't even notice
this early on not that it's a big deal. But
coming down Mount Vernon Canyon, particularly out around the area
of Lookout Mountain, they're down to one lane there and
then up north we've had construction work southbound twenty five
near one hundred twenty eighth and looked like the left
portion of the highway was still blocked off.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Looks good on I twenty five basically across the city.
The east side of my seventies in great shape.
Speaker 19 (19:55):
Two west of Penya on that stretch of I seventy
back TYE twenty five's about ten minutes now. We do
have that construction that's still going on on the railroad
crossing gates are the tracks themselves along Santa Fe. Santa
Fe being a northbound one way, it's closed a very
short distance Cedar to Bayodd, But certainly are their re
routing traffic. A lot of folks electing to US Alameda
(20:16):
over to Federal. Even better might be Cherokee or Bannock.
You can take that heading north up to Bayod and
then back to Santa Fe. It doesn't tend to really
back traffic up too badly. I think folks are well
aware of it, so they're avoiding it. Drop Steel on

House Minority Leader Kim Jeffries preparing Democrats to vote today
on a funding measure to reopen the government. He wants
an amendment attached to the bill just passed by the Senate.
Speaker 24 (21:10):
He said meetings with his caucus will send the stage
for votes Wednesday to do what the Senate did not,
which has include an extension of Affordable Care Act tax
credits in a government funding package. Leader Jeffrey said Republicans
have one more chance to sign on to an amendment
from Democrats.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
That will extend these tax credits for a three rare
year period of time.

Speaker 9 (22:06):
In a vote that surprised some, the doug Coast School
Board did not pass a measure that would allow some
charter schools to renew their contracts every ten years instead
of the current five years. Opponents said that that would
lead to a lack of oversight and accountability. The board agreed,
voting down the measure four to three. The board is
also considering a measure about transgender athletes. It would prohibit
(22:28):
biological males from participating in women's sports and vice versa.
It had a first reading last night, with a final
vote at a later date. Many parents spoke about the
issues some in favor of the band.
Speaker 21 (22:40):
When schools ignore this reality and allow boys to compete
against girls, it is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous for girls,
and denies girls the equal opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Others spoke against it.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
This filing is highly offensive in the language used to
attack transgender, non binary and gender non conforming youth and
as plainly an effort to codify transfervia into our school district.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
Sponsors of the measures say that it's needed to comply
with an executive order signed by President Trump that would
withhold federal funds for educational programs that the order says
deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.

little bit north of that location. I'm not actually seeing
a slow down in there. Certainly no lanes block just yet.
We'll have to wait on it because I'm sure fire
rescueunits will be heading in. More likely if they are
heading there and find it, they'll be blocking up a lane.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
But of course we'll keep you posted on that. So far,
so good.

party lines to advance the measure, but did not adopt
any amendments to the bill that would extend federal healthcare subsidies.

Looks great for us.
Speaker 19 (34:16):
We're checking out a crash up north, though this sounds
like it's going to be right at the top of
the ramp from eighty fourth to southbound twenty five. I
don't see a big impact there yet. I twenty five
is actually bogging down a little bit coming down from
oh about the Thornton Parkway or so, so some reduced
speeds there. Two seventy I seventy six ramps backing up
just a little bit east side still looks good I

Speaker 10 (34:58):
To end the nation's longest government shutdown, but hundreds of
flights continue to be canceled across the country.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
If this doesn't open, you might have airlines that say
we're going to ground our planes.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
We're not going to fly anymore. That's how serious this is.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
A Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy adds that once the government reopens,
air traffic controllers who have missed their paychecks will.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Receive them quickly.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
Joining us on the Kawa Common Spirit Health hot Line
from the ABC Transportation Unit, It's Sam Sweeney.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Sam, appreciate your time as always.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
What are we seeing right now when it comes to
the six percent flight reduction cuts that.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
The FA was expecting.
Speaker 10 (35:33):
Are we at that point and are we still expecting
to ramp up to ten percent by Friday?
Speaker 23 (35:39):
We are at that point and we will be at
ten percent by Friday. Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, says
this is going to be based on the data, and
until the system is fully up operational and all of
the controllers have returned to work, they're going to keep
this in place now. Once the government does reopen and
they evaluate the system and people are back to work, hopefully,
(36:01):
it'll still take several days before the system can be
fully back to normal, and it's unclear when the DOOT
will lift that ten percent cut because remember, even on
a good day before this shutdown, we were short air
traffic controllers and there were problems. So they are going
to look at the data and once they feel comfortable
that all of these controllers can handle that amount of traffic,
(36:23):
then they will reopen it. It'll still take airline days
to recover from all of this.
Speaker 10 (36:27):
Obviously, it's been a frustrating situation for both air traffic
controllers and passengers. I even canceled a flight over the
weekend just out of precaution. I was like, don't want
to get stuck somewhere and not be here in Denver.
So remind listeners what flyers are usually entitled to or
are they entitled to anything different now if these cancelations
continue from the government shutdown.
Speaker 23 (36:49):
So when the government cancels a flight or mandates an
airline cancel a flight. It's not the airline fault obviously,
so they are not required to pay you for your
meals or your hotel. That's on you. But what the
good news is is during this sort of thing is
that the airlines are generally telling people their flights are
canceled a day or two in advance, so you can
make some you know plans if you will. They're also
(37:12):
able to reaccommodate most passengers on another departure within four hours.
That's been the case for most people who have been
on the pre planned cancelations, not a whether cancelations or
a mechanical cancelation. But again, if the airline does cancel
your flight, you are entitled to a full refine, a
full cash refine if you choose not to fly. But
(37:32):
for someone like you said, oh look, I'm just not
comfortable with this, I want to cancel my reservation. In
most cases like that, you will only be entitled to
a flight credit that you have, you know, a year
or two to use.
Speaker 10 (37:44):
That is definitely the situation I was in, and I
fly a lot, so I was like, fine, I'll take
you to right now.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
DA is eighty seven.
Speaker 10 (37:51):
Cancelations, which pretty much is where we've been for much
of this week. We heard Sean Duffy there a minute
ago talking about just grounding lanes altogether. What's the likelihood
that we could see that happen?
Speaker 23 (38:03):
Sam, If the government doesn't reopen, if the House comes
back and say, look we don't have the votes, we're
not going to open, you're going to see major problems
this weekend. Hopefully that is not the case. But if
these you know, these controllers are returning. One the President said,
get back to work. I made doctor pay and the
people who are coming to work, I'm going to give
you a ten thousand dollars bonus. But also the other
(38:24):
controllers are saying, okay, look there's light at the end
of the tunnel. I'm going to get paid soon. I'm
going back to work. But if something happens, you know, unexpected,
and the government doesn't reopen, we could see major problems
this weekend.
Speaker 10 (38:37):
From the ABC Transportation Unit, It's Sam Sweeney. Sam, appreciate
your time. As always, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Portions of the following program will be recorded.
Speaker 10 (38:47):
Wrapping up the show here on Colorado's Morning News. As
Rossminsky is stepping in for Roussminsky on the news with me,
did you see the Northern lights last night?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Oh?
Speaker 27 (38:58):
Gosh, flash, have you seen I've never seen them. I
tried last night when a friend of ours, actually a
listener who went on a trip with me and Dragon
and all to Egypt sent an amazing picture and I
actually got in my car and tried to drive to
a place that had a little less ambient light nothing
and just you know, and I think that phone camera
(39:21):
picks it up a little more than your eyes do.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
And I got a little sense of maybe a hint
of green. But what about you now?
Speaker 10 (39:28):
And we were I mean we were downtown, Yeah, and
we were even out and about last night, but there
was no way I was really seeing it downtown. But
then I saw one of the reporters on Fox thirty one, yeah,
post a photo from downtown and there was just the
tiniest little bit of red in there. And again, I
don't know if that is a phone picking it up
or if you could actually see it. Yeah, but there
is the possibility again tonight, I'm kind of debating if
(39:49):
I want to try to do what you did and
see if I can.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, I might have to go further away.
Speaker 27 (39:54):
Yeah, but the good news is even for you know,
early risers like us and especially you, it gets dark
so early now, right right, So it might it might
be might be doable. One listener already sent me a
beautiful picture from Woodland Park, where of course there's a
lot less ambient light. So I'll just say to other listeners,
if you took any great pictures last night, or if
(40:15):
you take any great pictures tonight over the northern lights,
just send them to me at Ross at iHeartMedia dot com.
You don't need my last name, Ross at iHeartMedia dot com.
And I'll post them on the blog. Yeah, and we'll
put some of the best listener pictures.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Yeah, put it up as our social media poll. Question

we can get a thread.

the listeners fantastic.
Speaker 27 (40:36):

I have no idea what we're doing coming up, but
we'll figure it out. Oh yeah, you know what. Here

But even with the shutdown's end on the horizon, there
are growing calls for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. This
episode de band from the shutdown isn't over yet, especially
when it comes to flying. With holiday travel right around

House Democrats are planning to address the issue of expiring
Obamacare subsidies when they vote today, and they will try

The lack of air traffic controllers still taking a toll
on travelers, with at least twelve hundred and delays and
fifty cancelations. Twelve hundred and fifty cancelations. That is more
(02:49):
than thirty three hundred delays across the country yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Nearly one hundred of.

Speaker 13 (03:00):
Snowstorms in the Midwest are compounding problems at Chicago's O'Hare

Speaker 15 (04:18):
To consider is that there might be more managing in

The cameras identify cars involved in crimes by the license plates.
Chief Todd Chamberlain says privacy concerns about the cameras are unwarranted.
Speaker 16 (04:42):
They don't alert to every hit. They only alert to
the hits where there's crime involved. They alert to a
hit where somebody has taken your property and is now
driving it around and most likely going to use it
to victimize somebody else.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
Chief Chamberlain says those block cameras recently helped identify the
driver involved in a deadly shooting an I two twenty five.
Police made an arrest in that case. The use of
the cameras has not been fool proof, though. Back in September,
a Columbine Valley police officer accused a woman of theft,
using flock camera images as evidence. She was able to
prove she wasn't anywhere near the scene at the time.
(05:17):
Now that officer who made the false accusation will be disciplined.
Speaker 17 (05:21):
The woman's story went viral after her ring doorbell camera
captured officer Jamie Millman handing her a citation for stealing

bit of construction up north as you're coming into the
city along I twenty five. It's centered around one hundred

where it's slowing traffic, but not really jamming anything up.

Very light volume out here ahead of that.

The National Independent Venue Association just came out and said
sixty four percent of independent venues nationwide are financially unstable.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Jesse Clark is the executive director at Denver's swallow Hill Music.
Those numbers she cites are similar in Colorado, where NIVA
says forty one percent of independent venues are profitable.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
NEVA lists inflation, anti.
Speaker 6 (17:04):
Competitive practices, and predatory ticket scalping as main issues facing venues.
Swallow Hill is one of those forty one percent enjoying
annual growth. Clark says, swallow Hill has found other revenue sources.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
The other thing that we're doing is looking for things
like stage sponsors, finding people that really love and believe
in new music and up and coming artists and supporting
them so that we're able to pay artists appropriately in
our theaters here.
Speaker 23 (17:30):
And the other thing that we're.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Doing is activating more off site venues.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
Swallow Hill is not a typical venue model as a
music education nonprofit, but Clark says all models are threatened.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It's challenging with rising costs and trying to keep things affordable.
It's challenging to be able to provide new, cool artists
that are up and coming in a space where everything.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Just costs so much.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
She says, consumers wait longer to buy tickets, which adds
to promoter uncertainty. Venue operators are also having to grab
well with prices in a world of increased costs.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's like, what is the tolerance for a higher ticket
price and ticket fees in an environment when we know
that that's a hot topic right national, You know, how
do we place value in the things that we do?
And as a nonprofit, we've been focusing very heavily on

You know, you remember Pat Woodard He posted a photo
and said you.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Could really only see it on my phone.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
When you looked at it and the sky wasn't as noticeable,
but the phone is what really picks it up. People
were seeing it throughout the state. It is our social
media poll question for this morning, but in a different
way than what we usually want to say, see did
you see the Northern lights?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
As the question sure, simple yes or no.
Speaker 10 (18:58):
But what I want to see as you commenting the
photos of what you ended up taking last night, because
we were seeing them statewide looked awesome. Living downtown, didn't
really have the opportunity to do so, though.

I did see one of our friends on Fox thirty

Speaker 19 (19:31):
That still quiet, not much traffic out here yet there
is actually some construction in the foothills. Didn't even notice
this early on not that it's a big deal. But
coming down Mount Vernon Canyon, particularly out around the area
of Lookout Mountain, they're down to one lane there and
then up north we've had construction work southbound twenty five
near one hundred twenty eighth and looked like the left
portion of the highway was still blocked off.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Looks good on I twenty five basically across the city.
The east side of my seventies in great shape.
Speaker 19 (19:55):
Two west of Penya on that stretch of I seventy
back TYE twenty five's about ten minutes now. We do
have that construction that's still going on on the railroad
crossing gates are the tracks themselves along Santa Fe. Santa
Fe being a northbound one way, it's closed a very
short distance Cedar to Bayodd, But certainly are their re
routing traffic. A lot of folks electing to US Alameda
(20:16):
over to Federal. Even better might be Cherokee or Bannock.
You can take that heading north up to Bayod and
then back to Santa Fe. It doesn't tend to really
back traffic up too badly. I think folks are well
aware of it, so they're avoiding it. Drop Steel on

In a vote that surprised some, the doug Coast School
Board did not pass a measure that would allow some
charter schools to renew their contracts every ten years instead
of the current five years. Opponents said that that would
lead to a lack of oversight and accountability. The board agreed,
voting down the measure four to three. The board is
also considering a measure about transgender athletes. It would prohibit
(22:28):
biological males from participating in women's sports and vice versa.
It had a first reading last night, with a final
vote at a later date. Many parents spoke about the
issues some in favor of the band.
Speaker 21 (22:40):
When schools ignore this reality and allow boys to compete
against girls, it is demeaning, unfair, and dangerous for girls,
and denies girls the equal opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Others spoke against it.
Speaker 12 (22:51):
This filing is highly offensive in the language used to
attack transgender, non binary and gender non conforming youth and
as plainly an effort to codify transfervia into our school district.

with an executive order signed by President Trump that would
withhold federal funds for educational programs that the order says
deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.

maybe possibly in the area of County Line, maybe a
little bit north of that location. I'm not actually seeing
a slow down in there. Certainly no lanes block just yet.
We'll have to wait on it because I'm sure fire
rescueunits will be heading in. More likely if they are
heading there and find it, they'll be blocking up a lane.
Speaker 2 (27:14):

so good.

News Time five forty seven. The government shutdown could end,
possibly as soon as today, as the House is expected
to vote on the spending bill passed by the Senate
earlier this week. Overnight, the House Rules Committee voted along
party lines to advance the measure, but did not adopt
any amendments to the bill that would extend federal healthcare subsidies.
The funding package now makes it way to the Fullhouse,
(32:54):
where a final vote is expected before.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
The end of the day.
Speaker 10 (32:57):
House members scrambling to get back to DC though.
Speaker 15 (33:00):
We've even got a member, Derek van Orton from Wisconsin,
riding his motorcycle all the way to Washington, d C.

have a vote to reopen the government.
Speaker 10 (33:09):

of the Aurora borealis. If you missed it, you may
have another chance tonight. Just log onto Noah's Space Weather

prediction Center to see the best time delays and cancelations
at airports nationwide. I'd expected to get worse. Well, more
on that coming up next. Taking a look at your
early Wednesday morning drive with Jonathan Steel and the KWA
traffic Center.
Speaker 19 (34:08):
Yeah, I couldn't find any crash down in the Tech Center,
so that's good news. We're still sailing along down to
and from in and out of downtown.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Looks great for us.
Speaker 19 (34:16):
We're checking out a crash up north, though this sounds
like it's going to be right at the top of
the ramp from eighty fourth to southbound twenty five. I
don't see a big impact there yet. I twenty five
is actually bogging down a little bit coming down from
oh about the Thornton Parkway or so, so some reduced
speeds there. Two seventy I seventy six ramps backing up
just a little bit east side still looks good I
(34:36):
seventy as well as two two five. There's a little
slowing developing if you're coming up north from six to
Colefax along that stretch of two two five and then
eventually on to I seventy, but everything else good to go,
no major difficulties anyway. Jonathan Steel on k WAIT eight

KOA News Time five point fifty Ginagon doc on Colorado's
Morning News.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Lawmakers taking the steps.
Speaker 10 (34:58):
To end the nation's longest government shutdown, but hundreds of
flights continue to be canceled across the country.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
If this doesn't open, you might have airlines that say
we're going to ground our planes.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
We're not going to fly anymore. That's how serious this is.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
A Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy adds that once the government reopens,
air traffic controllers who have missed their paychecks will.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
Receive them quickly.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
Joining us on the Kawa Common Spirit Health hot Line
from the ABC Transportation Unit, It's Sam Sweeney.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Sam, appreciate your time as always.
Speaker 10 (35:27):
What are we seeing right now when it comes to
the six percent flight reduction cuts that.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
The FA was expecting.
Speaker 10 (35:33):
Are we at that point and are we still expecting
to ramp up to ten percent by Friday?
Speaker 23 (35:39):
We are at that point and we will be at
ten percent by Friday. Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, says
this is going to be based on the data, and
until the system is fully up operational and all of
the controllers have returned to work, they're going to keep
this in place now. Once the government does reopen and
they evaluate the system and people are back to work, hopefully,
(36:01):
it'll still take several days before the system can be
fully back to normal, and it's unclear when the DOOT
will lift that ten percent cut because remember, even on
a good day before this shutdown, we were short air
traffic controllers and there were problems. So they are going
to look at the data and once they feel comfortable
that all of these controllers can handle that amount of traffic,
(36:23):
then they will reopen it. It'll still take airline days
to recover from all of this.
Speaker 10 (36:27):
Obviously, it's been a frustrating situation for both air traffic
controllers and passengers. I even canceled a flight over the
weekend just out of precaution. I was like, don't want
to get stuck somewhere and not be here in Denver.
So remind listeners what flyers are usually entitled to or
are they entitled to anything different now if these cancelations
continue from the government shutdown.
Speaker 23 (36:49):
So when the government cancels a flight or mandates an
airline cancel a flight. It's not the airline fault obviously,
so they are not required to pay you for your
meals or your hotel. That's on you. But what the
good news is is during this sort of thing is
that the airlines are generally telling people their flights are
canceled a day or two in advance, so you can
make some you know plans if you will. They're also
(37:12):
able to reaccommodate most passengers on another departure within four hours.
That's been the case for most people who have been
on the pre planned cancelations, not a whether cancelations or
a mechanical cancelation. But again, if the airline does cancel
your flight, you are entitled to a full refine, a
full cash refine if you choose not to fly. But
(37:32):
for someone like you said, oh look, I'm just not
comfortable with this, I want to cancel my reservation. In
most cases like that, you will only be entitled to
a flight credit that you have, you know, a year
or two to use.
Speaker 10 (37:44):
That is definitely the situation I was in, and I
fly a lot, so I was like, fine, I'll take
you to right now.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
DA is eighty seven.
Speaker 10 (37:51):
Cancelations, which pretty much is where we've been for much
of this week. We heard Sean Duffy there a minute
ago talking about just grounding lanes altogether. What's the likelihood
that we could see that happen?
Speaker 23 (38:03):
Sam, If the government doesn't reopen, if the House comes
back and say, look we don't have the votes, we're
not going to open, you're going to see major problems
this weekend. Hopefully that is not the case. But if
these you know, these controllers are returning. One the President said,
get back to work. I made doctor pay and the
people who are coming to work, I'm going to give
you a ten thousand dollars bonus. But also the other
(38:24):
controllers are saying, okay, look there's light at the end
of the tunnel. I'm going to get paid soon. I'm
going back to work. But if something happens, you know, unexpected,
and the government doesn't reopen, we could see major problems
this weekend.
Speaker 10 (38:37):
From the ABC Transportation Unit, It's Sam Sweeney. Sam, appreciate
your time. As always, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Portions of the following program will be recorded.
Speaker 10 (38:47):
Wrapping up the show here on Colorado's Morning News. As
Rossminsky is stepping in for Roussminsky on the news with me,
did you see the Northern lights last night?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Oh?
Speaker 27 (38:58):
Gosh, flash, have you seen I've never seen them. I
tried last night when a friend of ours, actually a
listener who went on a trip with me and Dragon
and all to Egypt sent an amazing picture and I
actually got in my car and tried to drive to
a place that had a little less ambient light nothing
and just you know, and I think that phone camera
(39:21):
picks it up a little more than your eyes do.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
And I got a little sense of maybe a hint
of green. But what about you now?
Speaker 10 (39:28):
And we were I mean we were downtown, Yeah, and
we were even out and about last night, but there
was no way I was really seeing it downtown. But
then I saw one of the reporters on Fox thirty one, yeah,
post a photo from downtown and there was just the
tiniest little bit of red in there. And again, I
don't know if that is a phone picking it up
or if you could actually see it. Yeah, but there
is the possibility again tonight, I'm kind of debating if
(39:49):
I want to try to do what you did and
see if I can.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Yeah, I might have to go further away.
Speaker 27 (39:54):
Yeah, but the good news is even for you know,
early risers like us and especially you, it gets dark
so early now, right right, So it might it might
be might be doable. One listener already sent me a
beautiful picture from Woodland Park, where of course there's a
lot less ambient light. So I'll just say to other listeners,
if you took any great pictures last night, or if
(40:15):
you take any great pictures tonight over the northern lights,
just send them to me at Ross at iHeartMedia dot com.
You don't need my last name, Ross at iHeartMedia dot com.
And I'll post them on the blog. Yeah, and we'll
put some of the best listener pictures.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
Yeah, put it up as our social media poll. Question
two of it.
Speaker 10 (40:29):
You saw them, so you can even comment there so
we can get a thread.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Goal.
Speaker 10 (40:32):
I want to put together a video with some of
the listeners fantastic.
Speaker 27 (40:36):
I've never seen them, and I really really want to.
I have no idea what we're doing coming up, but
we'll figure it out. Oh yeah, you know what. Here
there's a great headline from the New York Times. Of
all places, the Sierra Club embraced social justice, then tore
itself apart, it's actually a really interesting piece. And also
might the superintendent of Denver Public Schools.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
