from the winds because they aren't really going to die
down at all until later this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
National Weather Service meteorologist Bruno Rodriguez says the winds in
Albert County reached seventy miles an hour last night, creating
white out conditions and causing several crashes. Alb County schools
are closed for the day today. Those winds also causing

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Mayer Mike Johnston is upset with the Trump administration after
learning about the ICE arrest of immigration advocate Jeanette Visgera.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I just want to make clear people should know what
this is. This is not immigration enforcement.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Bisghera is known for taking sanctuary in a church during
President Trump's first term. She came to the US from
Mexico back in nineteen ninety seven and was pulled over
for a minor traffic violation in two thousand and nine
and was arrested for having falsified documents. Former ICE field
officer John Fabricatory says that arrest makes her eligible to
(01:40):
be deported.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
She came in illegally. She was found deportable almost fifteen
years ago.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Bisghera was taken into custody Monday at a target in
Aurora where she works, and is being held at the
ICE facility there. Three Pueblo police officers are hospitalized after
being shot last night near Mesa Avenue in Cedar Street.
Police say an officer responding to a call was shot
and call for backup.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Other officers and Pueblo.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
County deputies responded to the scene and engaged the suspect.
During the shooting, three officers were wounded. The officers are
all in stable condition at local hospitals. Police are investigating
an apparent murder suicide in Greeley.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Police say they found a man dead in a parking
a lot of a self inflicted gunshot wound. A forty
year old woman was dead in her car suffering from
multiple gunshot wounds. A two year old in the backseat
of that car was not hurt. Kathy Walker Koway News.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Ukrainian President Zelenski says he will talk with President Trump today,
a day after that two hour phone call between Trump
and Russian President Putin.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Trump says his call with Putin was very good and productive,
adding the Russian leader agreed to move quickly toward a
permanent peace, but Putin doubled down on his key demand
that the West cut off all military aid and intelligence
sharing with you.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
ABC's James Longman points out Putin did not agree to
a total ceasefire, but he did agree to stop bombing
Ukraine's infrastructure. Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Steve Pifer, is
not encouraged, at least not so far.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Here, that we're not moving closer to actually getting to
a real negotiation where.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Both sides may compromises.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Thus far we've seen, really, I don't think any serious
resplexibility on the Russian side.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Zelenski says he'd like to see Putin make as many
concessions as he has.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
In Tel Aviv, thousands of Israelities.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Gathering this morning for anti government protests, angry over the
latest bombardments in Gaza following a two months ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It is meant to send a message to Hamas that
this is only going to intensify and get worse for
them if they do not at least allow the first
days to be extended.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
ABC's mcmulroy about ninety percent of the homes of Gaza
have been destroyed more than four hundred Palestinians in the
latest bombings.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
More face sauce between the Trump administration and the courts.
A federal judge blocking the ban on transgender people serving
in the military. Another judge ruling the doge dismantling of
USAID was unconstitutional.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
The judges ruling requires the administration to restore computer access
to USAID employees, but for now, the ruling stopped short
of reversing the firings. In a new interview, the president,
escalating his fight with the courts, denying that his administration
defied in order to stop the deportations of hundreds of
alleged Venezuelan gang members. Those flights flew on to El
(04:36):
Salvador despite Judge James Bosberg directing them to turn around.
The Trump administration says the flights had already left US
airspace when the judge's ruling came down.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
That's ABC's Nicole d Antonio. Congressional Republicans have suggested impeaching
federal judges who rule against the Trump administration, but Chief
Justice John Roberts issued a statement saying that impeachment is
not an appropriate response to a court's disagreements. The construction
defect bill, backed by Governor Polis and a large coalition
(05:06):
of state legislators, is now over the House committee hurdle,
and another bill on the matter was postponed.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
Stember New Liberals Luke Miller told the committee he lost
his home of a faulty construction and said he would
be exactly the person to encourage a no vote, but
he supports it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I believe this bill will both encourage the instruction of
more and.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
More of the exact type of housing, this middle housing
that we need in this state, while also encouraging all
pers of build safer housing.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
It aims to curb some of the litigations scaring builders away,
but it also has compromises to appease Rep. Jennifer Bacon
allowing for third party inspectors. Bacon wants to see it
a little more.
Speaker 10 (05:42):
How can we be sure that they are as qualified
as possible?
Speaker 9 (05:46):
Bacon pulled her bill after the amendments to the first one.

And just as Dollar General is getting ready to close
one hundred of its stores nationwide, a new kind of
Dollar Store is coming to Colorado.
Speaker 11 (05:59):
Imagine a store offering Japanese snacks, kitchen wearing home decor,
and you have a Diso retail store. They have about
one hundred and fifty of them across the country and
six thousand globally. Now they're coming here. The first is

well as I twenty five south coming into downtown through
Spear even two to five round Parker. These areas have
some slow and go developing with the rest of the
freeways are just moving in pretty good shape close to
the post at speed limit. It's a little bit heavier
in some areas, like the turnpike even I seventy six,
but no major difficulties. Mountain roads aren't doing too badly
(07:00):
right now. It is a traction law that's in place
basically all the way to Vail for westbounders. There is
a closure on Ibity East Bend and bound in west Vale.
In fact, several miles on those backups they've yet to
reopen because of a crash down south. We're still looking
at rough conditions between cats Rock and Collawat Springs, reducing
speeds there and the east side of the Eastern planes anyway

Denver's hometown. Airline is trying to snatch up some customers
from Southwest.
Speaker 12 (07:40):
When Southwest announced the end of its bags fly free
policy that had had for fifty years, a lot of
passengers said they were looking for an alternative. Frontiers says
it hopes to fill the free bag void, at least temporarily.
You're going to want to make sure you rate all
the fine print. Brontiers new promotion offering three check bags
is for select flights. It's only good on flights from
(08:01):
May twenty eight to August twenty eight. Future job reports
promised to be pretty interesting with all the job cuts
in the federal government now, including about sixty thousand at
the Pentagon.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
The senior defense officials said the job cuts will hopefully
happen via voluntary resignations and by not replacing workers who leave,
the Pentagon will also begin firing progationary employees. The plan
is part of the trip administration's efforts to cut the
federal workforce.

Speaker 12 (08:25):
Of today's interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve. Stocks
are up right now. The DOWN and the NASDAK are
both up about two hundred points. The S and P

AT and T wants to send you back to the future,
(08:46):
back to the days before people got rid of their landlines.
Speaker 10 (08:49):
The phone giant has a news service called AT and
T Phone Advanced. It's a modern take on a traditional landline,
and it's available in sixty markets across sixteen states. It
is a traditional phone with a cellular connection. You can
plug in an old school phone, a fax machine, even
your alarm system, and you can use it to call
your cell phone when you can't find it.

the list when it comes to average pay, the number
of hospitals, and the quality of public health. Indiana ranks second,
Hawaiian Rhode Islander at the bottom of the list. Colorado

Baseball season opening series has wrapped up in Tokyo. The
Dodgers won both games against the Cubs, taking today's six
to three. LA hit three home runs, including one by
Shohei Otani. While the Cubs and di were playing regular
season games the rest of the league back here in
the US still in spring training, the Rockies beat the
(10:07):
Giants three to one last night.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Pitcher Chase Dolander.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Is trying to show he's ready to be part of
the big league starting staff. He pitched three and two
thirds scoreless innings and struck out seven.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well great, in my opinion.
Speaker 13 (10:20):
What I need to do better is to just get
get ahead of hitters and attack.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I felt I got times it was trying to be
too cute with it. I know my stuff is going
to play, so I just need to get his zone.
Manager Bud Black on Dolander's performance.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
So, I thought his overall stuff was fine, delivery looked good,
repeated it was pretty consistent, you know, through a number
of pitches three and two thirds seventy five pitches. So
there's an efficiency factor in there that you know, we'll
keep an eye on and keep more going to impound
in the strike zone.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Today, the Rockies played the Diamondbacks. The NCAA Tournament is underway.
In first four games. Last night, North Carolina beat San
Diego State easily ninety five to sixty eight, with Carolina
guard Seth Trimble on the team, silencing the doubters who
believe the tar Hills did not even deserve to be
in the tournament.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We know we desire to be here. We're not looking
to send the message anybody else.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
We're just looking to compete as a team and be
the team that we know that we're capable of being.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And I think we did that tonight. We won't do
that when we get to Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
An exciting finish In the other first four game yesterday,
Alabama State, on a shot at the buzzer, defeated Saint
Francis seventy to sixty eight. The first four wraps up

News Time eight eighteen, A couple more cyber trucks going
up in flames last night at a Tesla dealership in Vegas.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
Elon Musk and his car company Tesla taking heat. The
FBI now investigating what police call a targeted attack at
Tesla in Las Vegas. Vehicles torched, several shots fired. Attorney
General pimbond I called the vandalism against Tesla vehicles across
the country nothing short of domestic terrorism.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
At ABC's Nicole Antonio, the Vancouver International Auto Show is
removing Tesla's from their events due to safety concerns.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
In the statement, the director said that the decision will
ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the
many positive elements of the event. Protests have been taking
place at Tesla the dealerships across Canada and the US
in opposition to CEO Elon Musk and his role in
the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
In Ukrainian President Zelenski will be speaking with President Trump
later today as negotiations continue over a Russia Ukraine ceasefire.
We'll get a recap of yesterday's talks that took place
with President Trump and Russian President Putin coming up.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Next first, though, let's get another check on traffic from
the KOA Traffic Center.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Here's Jonathan Steele. Yeah, it's been a good drive this morning.
No big problem spots. We got to lighter than normal
traffic certainly up north, just a little sluggish out of
North Glennet tightens up a little bit from I seventy
down through about maybe twentieth or so down to it
from the tech centers. A breeze for US twoty five
in the in from Parker down the hill is just
slightly slugg as the other real slow spots that two
(14:03):
seventy run heading through Convers City. It's mainly on the
westbound side heading up through Basquez. But other than that,
everything else is good. I do have the winter driving
in the high country. I'm noticing slowing up and down
Floyd Hill that could be construction related. The road conditions
are really not that bad. They worsen the further west
you go, certainly from Georgetown to the Tunnels and all
the way to Vale. We still have a closure in fact,
(14:24):
eastbound seventy out of West Vale that does have traffic
backed up for several miles out to the east on
I seventy on the plains still have a closure, major
closure in fact from here to Kansas, and it's both
directions because of blowing and drifting snow. Jonathan Steel on

Speaker 4 (14:42):
KOA News Time eight twenty one. Gina Gondeck and Chad
Bauer in for Marty Lens this morning on Colorado's Morning News.
Coming up later today, Ukrainian President Vloida mary Zelinsky will
be speaking with President Trump as negotiations continue over the
rush of Ukraine's ceasefire. Now, this comes one day after
the nearly two our phone call that we saw between
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The Kremlin said.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That Russia has agreed to a thirty day halt on
energy infrastructure attacks and said that a prisoner swap with
Ukraine will be taking place later today. However, they're also
calling for an end to military aid to Ukraine as
a key condition for avoiding an escalation of the war,
something that a lot of reporters say will likely be
a non starter in those negotiations. We spoke with Fox
(15:25):
News Radios Ryan Schmels earlier this morning. You can hear
the full conversation about that interaction between President Trump and
President Putin on Koacolorado dot com.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
President Trump has made good on his promise to release
the files related to the assassination of President John F.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The National Archives began releasing about eighty thousand documents yesterday.
ABC's Jim Ryan joined us on the KOA Common Spirit
Health hotline with what we know not.
Speaker 14 (15:54):
Much, Lee Harvey oswell did it, Chad? He was sitting
a good guy behind the gun. But yeah, one hundred
and eighty two PDFs have been released so far. That's
about sixty three four hundred pages all together. President Trump
on Monday at the Kennedy Center meeting there with the board,
dropped this bombshell, essentially saying, hey, by the way, tomorrow
(16:14):
we're going to release the rest of the formerly redacted
documents related to the Kennedy assassination and the MLK assassination
and the RFK assassination. It sent his own his own
defense and security infrastructure into a tizzy.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They didn't expect this.
Speaker 14 (16:31):
Suddenly, the National Archives were in this spot of having
to go through and post all of this stuff. So
it's getting done little by little.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Again.
Speaker 14 (16:39):
Last night, about sixty three thousand of eighty thousand documents
altogether were put up on the National Archives website.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Chat Jim, do we know how many of those documents
were still redacted or maybe hard to read in any way?
Speaker 14 (16:51):
A lot of them were hard to read, hard to
figure out a percentage therein. But consider these submitted these
documents are six decades old. They were scribbled down pencil
and paper and stuffed in a pocket of some cops
somewhere and then ended up in the National Archives. Hard
to read than you know, the day after they were written,
much less sixty one years later, and some were photo copies.
(17:13):
Others were you know, copies of memos that were so
a lot of it is difficult to read physical I mean,
it's just almost illegible. But it ended up in the
archives and now it's being released.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
And so do we know how much is still you know,
not being released.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I know there's been talked about.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's some conversations President Lyndon and Johnson had with various
officials during that timeframe, and none of that was part
of this.
Speaker 14 (17:40):
Dump, well, right, and some of it also These are
documents and relic archives that are on loan to the
National Archive from private collectors or private families that own them.
And if those families say no, I don't want this release,
then they can't be released. So some things are still
being kept quieter, kept under wraps. Then some other things
(18:02):
might have somebody's Social Security number, and if it's somebody
who's still alive, you know they're not going to release that.
So some things, while their very in nature, are still
being held onto.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Jim, you mentioned how Lee Rvy Oswald did it, but
many Americans believe that he did not act alone.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Did we get any clarity?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Would any of these documents squash any of the decades
old controversies or even create any new ones that people
are now speculating about.
Speaker 14 (18:25):
It doesn't take much to set off. And it's always
the unknown. What about this page with this kind of
illegible scribbling on it. This may hold the key to
the whole thing. It may blow this whole thing up.
And it's probably just some Dallas detective who scribbled something
down on a piece of paper and then it ended
(18:45):
up in the archive. But no, you're right, and the majority,
according to polling, a majority of Americans think that Oswald
did not act alone. That doesn't mean that there was
somebody else up there in the school book depository or
somebody else on the grass. No, but does it mean
that somebody back in the Soviet Union was directing him?
And these decades, these documents almost refute that because that
(19:06):
possibility was studied back in the early nineteen nineties and
eventually was debunked.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The News is coming up next, right after we get
a check on traffic with Jonathan Steele from the KOA
Traffic Center.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Sorry about that area.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Continue to see just an exceptional drive this morning. Just
one little minor accident early on that was up on
I seventy six and that's completely wide open now. I
twenty five coming in from Northend to Thornton down from
one hundred twentieth. Slightly sluggish as you make your way
to downtown. Real good to and from the Tech Center.
Two seventies a little slow coming west out of Commerce
City and two to five south coming around Parker and
(19:42):
back indy twenty five. No major difficulties at all. Of course,
everything's been east, west and south of us. We're still
looking at winter driving in the high Country. We have
a closure over west Vale on I seventy eastbound. That's
for folks coming back this way, and unfortunately that's backed
up for five miles there because of that closure, and
then out to the east. Of course, with the weather
the way, it is hoping to reopen, but it's been
(20:04):
closed out on the eastern plains from here to Kansas

basically all the way to Vail for westbounders. There is

passengers said they were looking for an alternative. Frontiers says
it hopes to fill the free bag void, at least temporarily.
You're going to want to make sure you rate all
the fine print. Brontiers new promotion offering three check bags

promised to be pretty interesting with all the job cuts
in the federal government now, including about sixty thousand at
the Pentagon.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
The senior defense officials said the job cuts will hopefully
happen via voluntary resignations and by not replacing workers who leave,
the Pentagon will also begin firing progationary employees. The plan
is part of the trip administration's efforts to cut the
federal workforce.

Baseball season opening series has wrapped up in Tokyo. The
Dodgers won both games against the Cubs, taking today's six
to three. LA hit three home runs, including one by
Shohei Otani. While the Cubs and di were playing regular
season games the rest of the league back here in
the US still in spring training, the Rockies beat the

Giants three to one last night.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Pitcher Chase Dolander.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Is trying to show he's ready to be part of
the big league starting staff. He pitched three and two
thirds scoreless innings and struck out seven.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Well great, in my opinion.
Speaker 13 (10:20):
What I need to do better is to just get
get ahead of hitters and attack.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I felt I got times it was trying to be
too cute with it. I know my stuff is going
to play, so I just need to get his zone.
Manager Bud Black on Dolander's performance.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
So, I thought his overall stuff was fine, delivery looked good,
repeated it was pretty consistent, you know, through a number
of pitches three and two thirds seventy five pitches. So
there's an efficiency factor in there that you know, we'll
keep an eye on and keep more going to impound
in the strike zone.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Today, the Rockies played the Diamondbacks. The NCAA Tournament is underway.
In first four games. Last night, North Carolina beat San
Diego State easily ninety five to sixty eight, with Carolina
guard Seth Trimble on the team, silencing the doubters who
believe the tar Hills did not even deserve to be
in the tournament.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We know we desire to be here. We're not looking
to send the message anybody else.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
We're just looking to compete as a team and be
the team that we know that we're capable of being.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And I think we did that tonight. We won't do
that when we get to Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (11:21):

General pimbond I called the vandalism against Tesla vehicles across

Speaker 3 (13:07):
In the statement, the director said that the decision will
ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Next first, though, let's get another check on traffic from
the KOA Traffic Center.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Here's Jonathan Steele. Yeah, it's been a good drive this morning.
No big problem spots. We got to lighter than normal
traffic certainly up north, just a little sluggish out of
North Glennet tightens up a little bit from I seventy
down through about maybe twentieth or so down to it
from the tech centers. A breeze for US twoty five
in the in from Parker down the hill is just
slightly slugg as the other real slow spots that two
(14:03):
seventy run heading through Convers City. It's mainly on the
westbound side heading up through Basquez. But other than that,
everything else is good. I do have the winter driving
in the high country. I'm noticing slowing up and down
Floyd Hill that could be construction related. The road conditions
are really not that bad. They worsen the further west
you go, certainly from Georgetown to the Tunnels and all
the way to Vale. We still have a closure in fact,
(14:24):
eastbound seventy out of West Vale that does have traffic
backed up for several miles out to the east on
I seventy on the plains still have a closure, major
closure in fact from here to Kansas, and it's both
directions because of blowing and drifting snow. Jonathan Steel on

KOA News Time eight twenty one. Gina Gondeck and Chad
Bauer in for Marty Lens this morning on Colorado's Morning News.
Coming up later today, Ukrainian President Vloida mary Zelinsky will
be speaking with President Trump as negotiations continue over the
rush of Ukraine's ceasefire. Now, this comes one day after
the nearly two our phone call that we saw between
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The Kremlin said.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That Russia has agreed to a thirty day halt on
energy infrastructure attacks and said that a prisoner swap with
Ukraine will be taking place later today. However, they're also
calling for an end to military aid to Ukraine as
a key condition for avoiding an escalation of the war,
something that a lot of reporters say will likely be
a non starter in those negotiations. We spoke with Fox
(15:25):
News Radios Ryan Schmels earlier this morning. You can hear
the full conversation about that interaction between President Trump and
President Putin on Koacolorado dot com.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
President Trump has made good on his promise to release
the files related to the assassination of President John F.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The National Archives began releasing about eighty thousand documents yesterday.
ABC's Jim Ryan joined us on the KOA Common Spirit
Health hotline with what we know not.
Speaker 14 (15:54):
Much, Lee Harvey oswell did it, Chad? He was sitting
a good guy behind the gun. But yeah, one hundred
and eighty two PDFs have been released so far. That's
about sixty three four hundred pages all together. President Trump
on Monday at the Kennedy Center meeting there with the board,
dropped this bombshell, essentially saying, hey, by the way, tomorrow
(16:14):
we're going to release the rest of the formerly redacted
documents related to the Kennedy assassination and the MLK assassination
and the RFK assassination. It sent his own his own
defense and security infrastructure into a tizzy.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They didn't expect this.
Speaker 14 (16:31):
Suddenly, the National Archives were in this spot of having
to go through and post all of this stuff. So
it's getting done little by little.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Again.
Speaker 14 (16:39):
Last night, about sixty three thousand of eighty thousand documents
altogether were put up on the National Archives website.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Chat Jim, do we know how many of those documents
were still redacted or maybe hard to read in any way?
Speaker 14 (16:51):
A lot of them were hard to read, hard to
figure out a percentage therein. But consider these submitted these
documents are six decades old. They were scribbled down pencil
and paper and stuffed in a pocket of some cops
somewhere and then ended up in the National Archives. Hard
to read than you know, the day after they were written,
much less sixty one years later, and some were photo copies.
(17:13):
Others were you know, copies of memos that were so
a lot of it is difficult to read physical I mean,
it's just almost illegible. But it ended up in the
archives and now it's being released.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
And so do we know how much is still you know,
not being released.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I know there's been talked about.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There's some conversations President Lyndon and Johnson had with various
officials during that timeframe, and none of that was part
of this.
Speaker 14 (17:40):
Dump, well, right, and some of it also These are
documents and relic archives that are on loan to the
National Archive from private collectors or private families that own them.
And if those families say no, I don't want this release,
then they can't be released. So some things are still
being kept quieter, kept under wraps. Then some other things
(18:02):
might have somebody's Social Security number, and if it's somebody
who's still alive, you know they're not going to release that.
So some things, while their very in nature, are still
being held onto.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Jim, you mentioned how Lee Rvy Oswald did it, but
many Americans believe that he did not act alone.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Did we get any clarity?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Would any of these documents squash any of the decades
old controversies or even create any new ones that people
are now speculating about.
Speaker 14 (18:25):
It doesn't take much to set off. And it's always
the unknown. What about this page with this kind of
illegible scribbling on it. This may hold the key to
the whole thing. It may blow this whole thing up.
And it's probably just some Dallas detective who scribbled something
down on a piece of paper and then it ended
(18:45):
up in the archive. But no, you're right, and the majority,
according to polling, a majority of Americans think that Oswald
did not act alone. That doesn't mean that there was
somebody else up there in the school book depository or
somebody else on the grass. No, but does it mean
that somebody back in the Soviet Union was directing him?
And these decades, these documents almost refute that because that
(19:06):
possibility was studied back in the early nineteen nineties and
eventually was debunked.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
The News is coming up next, right after we get
a check on traffic with Jonathan Steele from the KOA
Traffic Center.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Sorry about that area.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Continue to see just an exceptional drive this morning. Just
one little minor accident early on that was up on
I seventy six and that's completely wide open now. I
twenty five coming in from Northend to Thornton down from
one hundred twentieth. Slightly sluggish as you make your way
to downtown. Real good to and from the Tech Center.
Two seventies a little slow coming west out of Commerce
City and two to five south coming around Parker and
(19:42):
back indy twenty five. No major difficulties at all. Of course,
everything's been east, west and south of us. We're still
looking at winter driving in the high Country. We have
a closure over west Vale on I seventy eastbound. That's
for folks coming back this way, and unfortunately that's backed
up for five miles there because of that closure, and
then out to the east. Of course, with the weather
the way, it is hoping to reopen, but it's been
(20:04):
closed out on the eastern plains from here to Kansas
Bolt Directions. Jonathan Steele on KWA eight fifty AM and
