sixties to low seventies will be sticking around for much

at economic pulling following last week's election results that in
just a minute, take a look at your early Monday
morning drive. Jonathan Steele in the Koa Traffic Center.
Speaker 14 (14:50):
Yeah, we're still seeing those delays in the foothills from
Morrison up past Lookout. It's actually jamming pretty heavily right now,
so there will be some extra time needed if you're
heading up mouth Burn and Canyon and they are. We're
still doing a little bit of work on two two five.
It's lingering anyway northbound. This is mainly around Alameda, pushing
up towards Sixth Avenue. I look like the right side
of the highway was affected there, so definitely kind of
(15:10):
keep to the left, but may need another minute or
two there.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Also. Hopefully that's going to be wrapping up here soon. Now.
Speaker 14 (15:16):
We're supposed to have a pretty significant closure this week.
It's for rail crossing replacement on Santa Fe northbound. This
is in between Cedar and Bayod, which is just north
of Alameda. They've got some detours set up I'm not
sure if they've actually closed it just yet. Cherokee apparently
is what they're offering as one of the alternates to
(15:36):
get back to Santa Fe. But also you could use
Lincoln if your travels take you into downtown, or even
use Alameda over to Federal to work around this. This
is a pretty heavily traveled stretch of roadway Santa Fe
north from Alameda, so definitely we're going to see a
lot of congestion. Of course, we'll keep you updated on
any delays and all that good stuff, but something to
keep in mind for this week.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Jonathan Steele on KWAIT eight fifty am and n for one.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
F News Time five twenty.
Speaker 16 (16:01):
I'm pleased to report that today the United States has
the strongest economy, the strongest borders, the strongest military, the
strongest friendships, and the strongest spirit of any nation.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
President Trump continues to stand by his economic record, adding
that his administration has brought down prices and made life
more affordable. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant has said the
impact on the economy is getting worse and worse as
the shutdown continues.
Speaker 17 (16:26):
We had a fantastic economy under President Trump the past
two quarters, and now there are estimates that the economy
economic growth for this quarter could be cut in by
as much as half if the shutdown continues.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Joining us on the Kawa Common Spirit Health Hotline is
ABC News political analyst Steve Roberts.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Steve, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
As always, well, we continue to hear President Trump always
saying that everything is way down. But from what we
see is the economic activity reflecting that. Are there some
items that he is right about but others.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That he's not.
Speaker 18 (17:02):
Well, Look, let's look at the voters who are the
experts in their own lives gena right. You know, President
Trump has said repeatedly prices are down and times are good.
But you know, the voters who went to the polls
last week gave a very different verdict in the states
where there were four states where there was exit polling,
(17:23):
and only one out of ten voters that their economic
situation was better under Donald Trump, and one out of
four said that it was worse under Donald Trump. And
the problem here is that, you know, Donald Trump is
a very powerful and effective speaker, and he can convince
people of all sorts of things. His followers can agree
that the election was stolen in twenty twenty, even when
(17:45):
the facts they otherwise. But you can't tell people that
times are good when they know around their kitchen table
they're not.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Period.
Speaker 18 (17:54):
You can't do it. Joe Biden ran into exactly that problem,
so he kept saying to people times are great, but
people in Denver and everywhere else knew that wasn't true.
Single biggest reason why Donald Trump won a second term.
But now that Trump is president, he is responsible in
the eyes of voters for their economics. And there are
ways in which the economy has benefited. Trump has pointed
(18:17):
out to take one example, where his high tarents have
funneled billions of dollars into the treasury, but it also
has held fuel inflation. So there's good news and bad news.
But the bottom line here is every voter in Denver
and everywhere else is an expert on one thing that's themselves.
(18:37):
And when you try to tell them something that they
know is not true in their own lives, not only
do they not believe you, but then they start that
doubting your credibility on there is user. They say, look,
he's telling me the not telling me the truth on this.
What other things is he covering up. So that's one
of the main reasons why Democrats did so well last week.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Well, Steve said, do you see President Trump ever changing
his tone to maybe focus on some of the negatives
of what we're seeing in the economy, admitting that some
things are going wrong and here's what we could do.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
To fix them.
Speaker 18 (19:10):
That's a very good question, and I think the answer
is no, because Donald Trump has had and it's been
very successful for him, has had a very clear approach
to politics, which is, you never apologize, you never get in,
you never back down, you never admit a mistake. That
clip that you you played is classic Trump. Everything is wonderful.
(19:31):
Have you ever heard Donald Trump admit that there's a problem.
I mean, actually, interestingly enough, he did say in a
moment of frankness that the government set down and actually
hurt Republicans at the polls. But that's the way of saying,
you know, it's not my fault, it's you know, the
fault of the Congress. But no, I don't think he's
ever going to do that. And look, that's one of
his strengths is of politicians, Tina, he's a determined, effective,
(19:54):
powerful voice. But you know, reality has a way of intruding.
And he also, you know, the polls also showed something
else very interesting, which is that because the economy has
not been a big asset for Trump, He's focused a
lot of his attention in recent months on two other issues.
(20:15):
One is crime and one is immigration, sending federal troops
into cities to say we're battling crime or rounding up
the immigrants. But the exit polls showed that those two
issues were right at the bottom of public concerns. And
you know, Trump tried to sway the attention of voters
(20:37):
and get them to focus on something because crime and
immigration there are always issues that poll very well for Republicans,
but people were not focused on that this year. They
were focused on the economy, and that's why Democrats did
so well. And by the way, going forward, Gene, the
real question is can Democrats maintain that momentum. In some ways,
(20:58):
their whole campaign looking forward to the midterms is blos
down to one word, which is affordability. And for the
last three presidential elections, Gina, the incumbent party is lost
in part because Americans have been gripped for a long
long time with this sour mood it defeated Democrats, it
(21:19):
defeated Trump when he ran against Biden, and now it's
pulling down the Republicans.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
ABC News political analyst, it's Steve Roberts. Steve, thank you.
The government shut down me on the verge of coming
to an end. Twelve more coming up in the five
thirty newscast. Taking a look at your drive with Jonathan
Steele in the KWA Traffic Center.
Speaker 14 (21:40):
Yeah, city traffic looks real good for us here early
this morning. We did have a little bit of construction
lingering on two two five, but I'm not seeing any
delays there. North from Alameda, basically up towards I seventy.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
I seventy is a ten minute commute.
Speaker 14 (21:51):
West from it looks like Panya all the way back
by twenty five to seventies about six maybe seven minutes
along with I seventy six and north ENDI twenty as
we see a little more traffic coming down out of Thornton,
it's still maintaining pretty good speeds.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Buller Turnpike looks ray too.
Speaker 14 (22:06):
The one delay that we do have in place is
roadwork up Mount Vernon Canyon. It's just approaching the Lookout
Mountain area. They do have the right side of the
highway still blocked and it's actually backed up all the
way to Morrison, so it's definitely causing delays for folks
that are heading into the hills. Jonathan Steele on KWAIT

At ABC's Ali Piccorin, the Senate expected to return this
morning to continue processing the bill to fund the government
until the end of January. Colorado senators explaining their no
votes on the Republican spending proposal. We get more on
this story live from kiowas Chad Bauer.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Both John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennett cited the lack of
the extension of healthcare premium tax credits as a reason
for their no vote. Bennett says, if Congress fails to
extend the tax credits, now millions of Americans and more
than two hundred and eighty thousand Colorados will see their
healthcare premiums double, triple, or even quadruple. Bennett says Colorado
(23:51):
families already faced skyrocketing costs on everything from housing to
childcare to groceries, and we should reopen the government, but
he refused use us to do it at the expense
of families who are simply trying to pay for healthcare.
Similar sentiment from Senator Hickenlooper, who says Sunday's bills failed
to address skyrocketing healthcare premiums caused by the Republicans Big
(24:12):
bad Bill, so he voted no kick and Loooper says
every Senate Democrat believes every American should have healthcare, but
Republicans refuse to come to the table and work to
tackle the healthcare crisis.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
KOA News fifty one now on Colorado's morning News. The
FAA mandated flight cutbacks may be originating at the country's
forty highest volume airports, but smaller regional airports are still
feeling the ripple effects. Kaoi's Connor Stree spoke to the
aviation director at Durango Laplata County Airports, Tony Vicery about it.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Yeah, So, as you know, the announcement by the FA
was targeted at the forty essentially highest volume markets around
the country, and I think when folks read that from
a title perspective, they say, oh, that's really only impacting
me if I live in Denver, Dallas, any other large market.
But the reality is those function as hub markets that
touch centually every market in the country, including regional markets
(36:44):
such as Durango. So we are seeing some real time
cancelations as a result of this, definitely starting to cause
the impacts.
Speaker 25 (36:52):
Will the regional airports maybe kind of run the risk
of feeling cut off during that Do you think that
risk might happen as this thing stretches.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Who knows how many days it's going to stretch.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Right, It's certainly a valid concern. The messaging from the
FA on this has been to the airlines has been
to not disproportionately affect a certain market segment, a certain destination,
et cetera. And there's been some specific wording around not
disproportionately affecting regional environments. But by the very nature, when
(37:25):
you get to a regional market which is smaller with
less overall frequencies, flight interruptions have significant impacts. You know,
when you talk about candling one flight in Durango, that
represents a much more significant percentage of our overall sea
capacity out of the market than one flight out of
a major pub such as Denver bite and so consequently,
(37:47):
what that does is causes a domino effect. In a
singular day, those impacts might not be dramatic. The airlines
could potentially reaccommodate those on a canceled flight by shifting
them to open seats on another place that they operate
during the day, and it might be a manageable situation.
But you hit the nail on the head. The longer
this goes, the more the worse the impacts get because
(38:08):
you have that domino effect where folks are no longer
able to be accommodated because there aren't enough open seats
to make up for the cancelations. And then if that
starts to run day after day after day, you get
into a situation where there's just not enough capacity.
Speaker 24 (38:21):
To be able to manage the demand.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
In your market.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
So hopefully we won't see that and this situation will
be remedied sooner rather than later.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
That's Tony the Caerrey Aviation director at the Durango Laplata
County Airports. Yesterday, airports had their worst day of air
travel disruptions, with more than ten thousand flights delayed, twenty
nine hundred canceled, according to flight Aware. Locally, Denver's dealing
with about forty six delays seventy cancelations so far this morning,
speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,
(38:53):
So there could be more air travel disruptions as the
shutdown continues too.
Speaker 26 (38:58):
You know, the two weeks before Thanksgiving, you're going to
see air travel be reduced to a trickle. We have
a number of people who want to get home for

Speaker 14 (14:50):
Yeah, we're still seeing those delays in the foothills from
Morrison up past Lookout. It's actually jamming pretty heavily right now,
so there will be some extra time needed if you're
heading up mouth Burn and Canyon and they are. We're
still doing a little bit of work on two two five.
It's lingering anyway northbound. This is mainly around Alameda, pushing
up towards Sixth Avenue. I look like the right side
of the highway was affected there, so definitely kind of
(15:10):
keep to the left, but may need another minute or
two there.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Also. Hopefully that's going to be wrapping up here soon. Now.
Speaker 14 (15:16):
We're supposed to have a pretty significant closure this week.
It's for rail crossing replacement on Santa Fe northbound. This
is in between Cedar and Bayod, which is just north
of Alameda. They've got some detours set up I'm not
sure if they've actually closed it just yet. Cherokee apparently
is what they're offering as one of the alternates to
(15:36):
get back to Santa Fe. But also you could use
Lincoln if your travels take you into downtown, or even
use Alameda over to Federal to work around this. This
is a pretty heavily traveled stretch of roadway Santa Fe
north from Alameda, so definitely we're going to see a
lot of congestion. Of course, we'll keep you updated on
any delays and all that good stuff, but something to
keep in mind for this week.

President Trump continues to stand by his economic record, adding
that his administration has brought down prices and made life
more affordable. However, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant has said the
impact on the economy is getting worse and worse as
the shutdown continues.
Speaker 17 (16:26):
We had a fantastic economy under President Trump the past
two quarters, and now there are estimates that the economy
economic growth for this quarter could be cut in by
as much as half if the shutdown continues.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Joining us on the Kawa Common Spirit Health Hotline is
ABC News political analyst Steve Roberts.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Steve, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
As always, well, we continue to hear President Trump always
saying that everything is way down. But from what we
see is the economic activity reflecting that. Are there some
items that he is right about but others.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
That he's not.
Speaker 18 (17:02):
Well, Look, let's look at the voters who are the
experts in their own lives gena right. You know, President
Trump has said repeatedly prices are down and times are good.
But you know, the voters who went to the polls
last week gave a very different verdict in the states
where there were four states where there was exit polling,
(17:23):
and only one out of ten voters that their economic
situation was better under Donald Trump, and one out of
four said that it was worse under Donald Trump. And
the problem here is that, you know, Donald Trump is
a very powerful and effective speaker, and he can convince
people of all sorts of things. His followers can agree
that the election was stolen in twenty twenty, even when
(17:45):
the facts they otherwise. But you can't tell people that
times are good when they know around their kitchen table
they're not.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Period.
Speaker 18 (17:54):
You can't do it. Joe Biden ran into exactly that problem,
so he kept saying to people times are great, but
people in Denver and everywhere else knew that wasn't true.
Single biggest reason why Donald Trump won a second term.
But now that Trump is president, he is responsible in
the eyes of voters for their economics. And there are
ways in which the economy has benefited. Trump has pointed
(18:17):
out to take one example, where his high tarents have
funneled billions of dollars into the treasury, but it also
has held fuel inflation. So there's good news and bad news.
But the bottom line here is every voter in Denver
and everywhere else is an expert on one thing that's themselves.
(18:37):
And when you try to tell them something that they
know is not true in their own lives, not only
do they not believe you, but then they start that
doubting your credibility on there is user. They say, look,
he's telling me the not telling me the truth on this.
What other things is he covering up. So that's one
of the main reasons why Democrats did so well last week.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Well, Steve said, do you see President Trump ever changing
his tone to maybe focus on some of the negatives
of what we're seeing in the economy, admitting that some
things are going wrong and here's what we could do.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
To fix them.
Speaker 18 (19:10):
That's a very good question, and I think the answer
is no, because Donald Trump has had and it's been
very successful for him, has had a very clear approach
to politics, which is, you never apologize, you never get in,
you never back down, you never admit a mistake. That
clip that you you played is classic Trump. Everything is wonderful.
(19:31):
Have you ever heard Donald Trump admit that there's a problem.
I mean, actually, interestingly enough, he did say in a
moment of frankness that the government set down and actually
hurt Republicans at the polls. But that's the way of saying,
you know, it's not my fault, it's you know, the
fault of the Congress. But no, I don't think he's
ever going to do that. And look, that's one of
his strengths is of politicians, Tina, he's a determined, effective,
(19:54):
powerful voice. But you know, reality has a way of intruding.
And he also, you know, the polls also showed something
else very interesting, which is that because the economy has
not been a big asset for Trump, He's focused a
lot of his attention in recent months on two other issues.
(20:15):
One is crime and one is immigration, sending federal troops
into cities to say we're battling crime or rounding up
the immigrants. But the exit polls showed that those two
issues were right at the bottom of public concerns. And
you know, Trump tried to sway the attention of voters
(20:37):
and get them to focus on something because crime and
immigration there are always issues that poll very well for Republicans,
but people were not focused on that this year. They
were focused on the economy, and that's why Democrats did
so well. And by the way, going forward, Gene, the
real question is can Democrats maintain that momentum. In some ways,
(20:58):
their whole campaign looking forward to the midterms is blos
down to one word, which is affordability. And for the
last three presidential elections, Gina, the incumbent party is lost
in part because Americans have been gripped for a long
long time with this sour mood it defeated Democrats, it
(21:19):
defeated Trump when he ran against Biden, and now it's
pulling down the Republicans.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Both John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennett cited the lack of
the extension of healthcare premium tax credits as a reason
for their no vote. Bennett says, if Congress fails to
extend the tax credits, now millions of Americans and more
than two hundred and eighty thousand Colorados will see their
healthcare premiums double, triple, or even quadruple. Bennett says Colorado
(23:51):
families already faced skyrocketing costs on everything from housing to
childcare to groceries, and we should reopen the government, but
he refused use us to do it at the expense
of families who are simply trying to pay for healthcare.
Similar sentiment from Senator Hickenlooper, who says Sunday's bills failed
to address skyrocketing healthcare premiums caused by the Republicans Big
(24:12):

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Yeah, So, as you know, the announcement by the FA
was targeted at the forty essentially highest volume markets around
the country, and I think when folks read that from
a title perspective, they say, oh, that's really only impacting
me if I live in Denver, Dallas, any other large market.
But the reality is those function as hub markets that
touch centually every market in the country, including regional markets
(36:44):
such as Durango. So we are seeing some real time
cancelations as a result of this, definitely starting to cause
the impacts.
Speaker 25 (36:52):
Will the regional airports maybe kind of run the risk
of feeling cut off during that Do you think that
risk might happen as this thing stretches.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
Who knows how many days it's going to stretch.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Right, It's certainly a valid concern. The messaging from the
FA on this has been to the airlines has been
to not disproportionately affect a certain market segment, a certain destination,
et cetera. And there's been some specific wording around not
disproportionately affecting regional environments. But by the very nature, when
(37:25):
you get to a regional market which is smaller with
less overall frequencies, flight interruptions have significant impacts. You know,
when you talk about candling one flight in Durango, that
represents a much more significant percentage of our overall sea
capacity out of the market than one flight out of
a major pub such as Denver bite and so consequently,
(37:47):
what that does is causes a domino effect. In a
singular day, those impacts might not be dramatic. The airlines
could potentially reaccommodate those on a canceled flight by shifting
them to open seats on another place that they operate
during the day, and it might be a manageable situation.
But you hit the nail on the head. The longer
this goes, the more the worse the impacts get because
(38:08):
you have that domino effect where folks are no longer
able to be accommodated because there aren't enough open seats
to make up for the cancelations. And then if that
starts to run day after day after day, you get
into a situation where there's just not enough capacity.
Speaker 24 (38:21):
To be able to manage the demand.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
In your market.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
So hopefully we won't see that and this situation will
be remedied sooner rather than later.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
That's Tony the Caerrey Aviation director at the Durango Laplata
County Airports. Yesterday, airports had their worst day of air
travel disruptions, with more than ten thousand flights delayed, twenty
nine hundred canceled, according to flight Aware. Locally, Denver's dealing
with about forty six delays seventy cancelations so far this morning,
speaking on CNN's State of the Union, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,
(38:53):
So there could be more air travel disruptions as the
shutdown continues too.
Speaker 26 (38:58):
You know, the two weeks before Thanksgiving, you're going to
see air travel be reduced to a trickle. We have
a number of people who want to get home for
the holidays, They want to see their family, they want
to celebrate this great American holiday. Listen, many of them
are not going to be able to get on an airplane.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
Reductions went into effect on Friday at forty the high
traffic airports. They'll continue to ramp up to ten percent
of the cuts by this Friday.
