1:55
Speaker 1: of like almost like I've been smoking on a little
2:01
Speaker 1: something but I don't know, you know. And I've heard, well,

Speaker 1: you've got to be pushing the water, and I have
2:08

2:16
Speaker 1: so much water, so I know it's uh, I know
2:19
Speaker 1: it's not dehydration. So wow, We've got a lot of
2:26
Speaker 1: stuff going on, a lot of stuff to talk about.
2:28
Speaker 1: We're looking at cloudy skies today for the most part,
2:31
Speaker 1: highs around a fifteen degrees. It's gonna be cold tonight
2:36
Speaker 1: four mostly cloudy, kind of uneventful. This weather forecast is like,
2:45
Speaker 1: this is some boring stuff. Man, Thursday tomorrow overcast in
2:49
Speaker 1: twenty degrees. It would be fun to have g Spot
2:56
Speaker 1: back with us though on Thursday tomorrow, I have to
3:04
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. You know, I was driving in this
3:05
Speaker 1: morning and I'm thinking to myself, Gee's not gonna be
3:09
Speaker 1: with you this morning, so you're not gonna laugh, which
3:13
Speaker 1: is good because I'm having a very difficult time laughing
3:18
Speaker 1: because basically from all of the coughing that I've been
3:21
Speaker 1: doing over the last week or so, it feels like
3:25
Speaker 1: all my ribs are busted, just really, I mean intense coughing.
3:33
Speaker 1: So anyway, whole front of me just feels like I
3:39
Speaker 1: was training over at Granite City MMA or something. Thursday, Yeah,
3:49
Speaker 1: twenty degrees tomorrow, overcast Friday, sunshine twenty six and maybe
3:54
Speaker 1: some snow measurable snow on Sat. Maybe, but it's not
4:02
Speaker 1: going to be much if we do get any. Glenn
4:06
Speaker 1: is saying, how do you like the lemons? So Glenn
4:09
Speaker 1: sends me this recipe here. Let me see if I
4:11
Speaker 1: can pull it up here so I can make sure
4:14
Speaker 1: that I've got it right. Glenn Brammer and he's done
4:19
Speaker 1: this before. He has sent me this recipe before Nature's
4:23
Speaker 1: flu shot. Lemons, garlic, ginger powder, honey, pineapple juice, kyne pepper,
4:39
Speaker 1: and it says blend all the ingredients thoroughly in store
4:42
Speaker 1: and a glass jar. Take one cup four times a
4:47

6:36
Speaker 1: It's very good, very good. I like that saying. I
6:47
Speaker 1: think I may have gone a little heavy on the
6:52
Speaker 1: Kyne Pepper, which will probably get me on the back
6:57
Speaker 1: end later, if you know what I'm saying. Sports. So,
7:03
Speaker 1: Los Angeles beat Minnesota twenty seven to nine in a
7:09
Speaker 1: game that was played in Glendale, Arizona due to the
7:13
Speaker 1: LA Wildfires, final game of the wildcard matchup. Watched a
7:18
Speaker 1: little bit of in and out. Sometimes could hear it,
7:27
Speaker 1: couldn't see it. Sometimes could see it, couldn't hear it,
7:29
Speaker 1: but either way, tried to watch a little bit of football.
7:38
Speaker 1: Wait till you go later, bring a fire extinguisher to
7:41
Speaker 1: the bathroom. While I was flwing late last week and
7:50
Speaker 1: over the weekend, a few things happened, And I'm trying
7:59
Speaker 1: to get caught off with some of the things here,
8:02
Speaker 1: but I know Vermont's legislative committee began to take shape.
8:08
Speaker 1: Governor Scott gave his inaugural speech addressing Vermont's affordability crisis.
8:17
Speaker 1: I missed all that. I haven't heard. It was slept
8:24
Speaker 1: for a couple of days straight. With the education funding
8:30
Speaker 1: formula issue headlined the big session yesterday afternoon. Apparently this
8:37
Speaker 1: week is going to be spent talking with the state's
8:41
Speaker 1: tax commissioner, education secretary, and a few others regarding all
8:45
Speaker 1: of this super exciting and fun subject matter. Vermont's Health
8:53
Speaker 1: Department in the City of Burlington delivered some exciting updates
8:59
Speaker 1: on the the overdose Prevention Center yesterday afternoon. The update
9:06
Speaker 1: they have no timeline whatsoever. That's it, as it was
9:14
Speaker 1: saying last week here on aired out. The US Department
9:18
Speaker 1: of Housing and Urban Development set aside twelve billion dollars
9:24
Speaker 1: in disaster recovery funds to be spread out across twenty
9:28
Speaker 1: four states and territories, including Vermont. Vermont's going to get
9:33
Speaker 1: a sixty eight million dollar piece of the pie for
9:38
Speaker 1: flood recovery from the floods at twenty three and twenty four.
9:46
Speaker 1: How exactly that sixty eight million dollars is going to
9:51
Speaker 1: be divvied up across Vermont nobody knows, not yet anyway.
10:00
Speaker 1: Nate Formulari, the Deputy commissioner for Vermont's Department of Housing
10:06
Speaker 1: and Community Development, says that this sixty eight million dollar
10:10
Speaker 1: check from the government is just a supplement and will
10:14
Speaker 1: not solve the greater housing issues in Vermont. I was
10:18
Speaker 1: reading this yesterday I think it was CAx, and I
10:22
Speaker 1: thought that was some interesting comments from Nate. One can
10:32
Speaker 1: only wonder how much of it will actually fund affordable
10:37
Speaker 1: housing projects in the state, and how much of it
10:41
Speaker 1: is going to go into the pockets of those who
10:44
Speaker 1: are content just living off the state and have been
10:47
Speaker 1: for many years. Let's hope that most of it's going
10:55
Speaker 1: to actually help reel ver honors rebuild their lives and
11:00
Speaker 1: towns rebuild their infrastructure enough to withstand the next flood.
11:06
Speaker 1: Oh and yes, there will be the next flood. It
11:17
Speaker 1: wasn't easy reading some of some of the stories going
11:21
Speaker 1: on in Vermont over the last couple of days. What
11:29
Speaker 1: else is going on? Burlington City councilors debated their relationship
11:37
Speaker 1: with the police department, discussing recruitment issues and officer morale.
11:47
Speaker 1: And the timing really perfect for all of this, Just
11:53
Speaker 1: as the temporary executive order was signed by the mayor
11:57
Speaker 1: last week. I actually actually hurt myself when I fell
12:03
Speaker 1: off the chair after reading it, an executive order that
12:08
Speaker 1: requires the police department to filter press releases through her
12:17
Speaker 1: office before sharing them with the public. Now, I know
12:21
Speaker 1: this story has been hanging around now for what a
12:26
Speaker 1: good week maybe more in Vermont, but wow, what a
12:36
Speaker 1: cluster in Burlington. Meanwhile, Mayor Mulvaney has been accused of
12:43
Speaker 1: political posturing and continues to take fire from mixing personal
12:49
Speaker 1: opinion with official communication and that all of this can
12:56
Speaker 1: lead to great confusion, misrepresentation, miscommunication. Von Herman, you are
13:07
Speaker 1: spot on and to add that clear and consistent messaging
13:17
Speaker 1: ensures that fellow Burlingtononians receive accurate information and impartial information
13:25
Speaker 1: to make informed decisions on the trust and integrity of
13:31
Speaker 1: our city leaders. Lends support that you are again spot on.
13:40
Speaker 1: Really something else? But has all of this fallen on
13:45
Speaker 1: deaf fears? I don't know. We'll all watch and wait, right.
13:55
Speaker 1: Don't get your hopes too high though, Oh my goodness.
14:02
Speaker 1: WCAX and PTZ report that the executive order was prompted
14:09
Speaker 1: by information that the police department shared about a repeat
14:13
Speaker 1: offender and a press release back in December. The order, again,
14:18
Speaker 1: which is temporary, I'm sure I understand that is going
14:25
Speaker 1: to remain in effect until city leaders can establish a
14:29
Speaker 1: new press release policy. Sounds like they're just Mulvaney's just
14:44
Speaker 1: trying to I don't know, man, come up with a
14:47
Speaker 1: way to keep information away from Vermonors. This Patrick Ibotson
15:02
Speaker 1: story is what it is as a repeat offender, and
15:10
Speaker 1: the public deserves to see and hear uncensored, unfiltered information
15:20
Speaker 1: from the police department, which I would think would have
15:28
Speaker 1: a pretty good level of discerning what information should be
15:35
Speaker 1: put out to the public and what shouldn't. That the
15:38
Speaker 1: police department has the professionalism, level of professionalism and capacity
15:48
Speaker 1: to make a decision on what they write and what
15:58
Speaker 1: information they disseminate to the general public, I would think.
16:08
Speaker 1: But if I was, I don't know, if I was
16:13
Speaker 1: the chief, I mean, how condescending to say to the
16:18
Speaker 1: police department, you're not putting stuff out until it passes
16:22
Speaker 1: my desk. First. Wow, how embarrassing that Burlington keeps letting
16:31
Speaker 1: this guy and others many others go free exactly no transparency.
16:42
Speaker 1: They keep letting him go still, and they don't want
16:48
Speaker 1: the public to know about each time that he's slapped
16:51
Speaker 1: on the wrist, for each offense that he commits. He
16:55
Speaker 1: is more than a public nuisance, He's a public hazard
17:01
Speaker 1: and like so many others, needs to be removed from
17:07
Speaker 1: our communities. Right Stacey, Censorship at its finest Right there,
17:17
Speaker 1: Burlington you got a lot of troubles, and the affordability
17:23
Speaker 1: crisis continues in our state. But Burlington, man, you guys,
17:29
Speaker 1: buckle up because you ain't seen nothing yet. Now we
17:33
Speaker 1: got Burlington residents facing numerous impacts to their wallets on
17:39
Speaker 1: town meeting day and in next year's budget, this looming bond,
17:47
Speaker 1: this looming bond vote that is now getting traction in
17:51
Speaker 1: the news today, and the property tax hike. Yeah, Burlington,
18:00
Speaker 1: buckle up. Twenty five is going to be a wild
18:03
Speaker 1: ride for you. Really is. Let's see what other headlines
18:09
Speaker 1: from woman rams police cruisers injures deputy during a pursuit.
18:16
Speaker 1: Her name was in a press release because it happened
18:20
Speaker 1: just outside of Plattsburgh. Coles has closed in twenty seven
18:26
Speaker 1: stores across more than a dozen states as the struggling
18:31
Speaker 1: retailer looks to improve profitability. Fifteen or eleven fifty stores
18:39
Speaker 1: nationwide have been listed as underperforming. A calm down Coles fans,
18:52
Speaker 1: Berlin's not on the chopping block, Okay, at least not
18:57
Speaker 1: yet will be. Okay? What else was happening while I
19:03
Speaker 1: was under the grips of the flu chuck in WCAX,
19:08
Speaker 1: the Montpelier Police department responded to an unusual call over
19:13
Speaker 1: the weekend about loose donkeys blocking the road. Please say
19:18
Speaker 1: they got multiple reports of donkeys wandering up and down
19:21
Speaker 1: Main Street on Saturday morning. With the help of the
19:25
Speaker 1: owners of the donkeys, officers were able to round up
19:30
Speaker 1: all of these asses safely and bring them home without
19:34
Speaker 1: any incidents. One of the dreams that I had when
19:39
Speaker 1: I had the flu was very similar. Donkeys were rum
19:43
Speaker 1: in the streets and mailboxes everywhere were blown up, all
19:47
Speaker 1: at the same time. It was insane. Wait a minute,
19:54
Speaker 1: that was actually happening in Woolkitt, Johnson and Morrisville, minus
20:01
Speaker 1: the donkey's on the loose. Yes, but the Lamoyle County
20:06
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department is investigating the blowing up of mailboxes. Apparently
20:17
Speaker 1: everyone's mailboxes are blowing up in Wilket, Johnson and Morrisville.
20:24
Speaker 1: Where's the security camera footage of this stuff? You know,
20:30
Speaker 1: maybe someone's trying to stop all this listening from Capital
20:33
Speaker 1: one And while it was under the weather on Saturday,
20:43
Speaker 1: I missed all of the Devin Hallick excitement. Hallick, who
20:49
Speaker 1: was spotted walking along North Main Street here in very
20:52
Speaker 1: Big as Life gives Chase ends up on the roof
20:58
Speaker 1: of a home for two hours before giving up. Saturday.
21:03
Speaker 1: Was that Saturday night? I think he'll be back in
21:07
Speaker 1: court again soon, but hopefully the judge isn't the same
21:10
Speaker 1: judge who's friends with Patrick Ibodson, just saying. Cluster Berry
21:21
Speaker 1: City Police hosted a public form about what's going on
21:24
Speaker 1: in our city at the Barry Auditorium. I would have
21:27
Speaker 1: loved to have been there. Were you. Is there video
21:32
Speaker 1: of it anywhere? I'm sure there is. I just haven't
21:38
Speaker 1: been up for it for noticing, but I will if
21:42
Speaker 1: it does exist anywhere. Was Carlos Perez in his so
21:47
Speaker 1: called pregnant girlfriend harassing and threatening people in parking lots?
21:51
Speaker 1: Was that brought up? I wonder? I wonder yeak, good morning. Hi.
22:07
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who that is, but they I don't
22:13
Speaker 1: think they know that they're on the air. I'm trying
22:18
Speaker 1: so hard not to laugh, I really am. I'm gonna
22:22
Speaker 1: see if I can reach the busy crew over at
22:27
Speaker 1: Montpelier Volkswagen in Montpelier Mazda this morning. Oh are they there?
22:34
Speaker 1: Good morning? Can you hear me? All right? Yeah? We can, man,
22:40
Speaker 1: How are you? Jason Trompley and Chris Olsen, what's going.
22:43
Speaker 2: On this morning?
22:46
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I couldn't possibly feel any better. I'm just
22:53
Speaker 1: have you guys said, Have you guys had the flu
22:55
Speaker 1: ripping through the uh ripping through the dealership over there
22:59
Speaker 1: at all or not?
23:01
Speaker 3: We've been lucky on Volkswagen side so far.
23:04
Speaker 2: We're hoping to stay that way.
23:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, what's what's the explained to folks? You guys
23:11
Speaker 1: are in the same building, but there is a rather
23:14
Speaker 1: thick wall between the two of you. Is that right?
23:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, Chris, Yeah, yeah, there's a there's you
23:22
Speaker 3: could actually take it and it's then close the fire door.
23:26
Speaker 2: And there are two separate buildings attached, kind of like
23:28
Speaker 2: a townhouse, you know.
23:31
Speaker 4: The manufacturer and everybody decided that it's best to have
23:34
Speaker 4: two separate stores. That way, you have a technicians and
23:39
Speaker 4: sales representatives and management that all knows all about the
23:44
Speaker 4: brands we represent, so Jason and Volkswagen crew and they
23:50

Speaker 1: It is such an impressive building brand shiny new I
24:04
Speaker 1: mean you could eat off the floors in there. Everybody
24:08
Speaker 1: looks sharp, everybody is so professional, And I gotta tell you, man,
24:11
Speaker 1: I was Chris, I was browsing through some of your

25:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is definitely a wow factor which I had
25:34
Speaker 1: last night when I was glancing through some of the stuff,
25:37
Speaker 1: and I even said to my wife, I'm like, I
25:41
Speaker 1: remember being like ten years old in nineteen eighty, seventy
25:46
Speaker 1: nine to eighty riding around in my mom's back seat
25:50
Speaker 1: of mom's Mazda, which was this silver Masta with the
25:56
Speaker 1: red vinyl seats in the back, and she loved this

28:52
Speaker 4: Lease on it on a c X ninety which is
28:54
Speaker 4: three rows, all the safety features, all will drive.
28:59
Speaker 2: Every SUV that MANSA sales is all a drive. So
29:03
Speaker 2: so between zero point nine is a low least famous,
29:06
Speaker 2: you know, take your pick.
29:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, get the question here in the comments section while
29:11
Speaker 1: we're live here. Do Mazdas make trucks.
29:17
Speaker 2: They do not have trucks in the United States. Yea,
29:22
Speaker 2: I wish they did because I have to have a truck.
29:27
Speaker 4: So one of my vehicles is a truck and the
29:29
Speaker 4: other one is a Maza three turbo hatchback.
29:34
Speaker 2: But they do not make trucks.
29:35
Speaker 4: The last truck they made was actually a partnership with
29:38
Speaker 4: fod way back in the nineties and so they.
29:43
Speaker 2: Don't have trucks.
29:43
Speaker 4: They don't have trucks, and probably we won't see them
29:46
Speaker 4: in America in my career.
29:48
Speaker 1: All right, let's see if is Jason right there? Can
29:52
Speaker 1: we chat Folkswagen? Oh yeah, yeah, he is, buddy. I
29:57
Speaker 1: know that you guys have had this huge and drive event.
30:01
Speaker 1: What is the deal with with that? Over at Volkswagen?
30:05
Speaker 1: What what's the deal? Can you literally sign and drive
30:08
Speaker 1: a car away?
30:10
Speaker 2: So you can?
30:12
Speaker 3: Unfortunately the signed and drive program ended at the end
30:14
Speaker 3: of the year, but that doesn't stop the fact.
30:17
Speaker 2: That we still have great deals right now.
30:19
Speaker 3: I mean, I got over two hundred and thirty new
30:21
Speaker 3: Volkswagens on the ground here ready ready for people to
30:25
Speaker 3: take delivery, every shape, size, most colors, Yeah, and often
30:34
Speaker 3: that anybody could want. We do have our super super
30:38
Speaker 3: low ID four leases. Volkswagen really came out of the
30:42
Speaker 3: gates in twenty twenty five, really trying to push the
30:46
Speaker 3: ID four back to the market. And I don't know
30:49
Speaker 3: if you've seen it, but I mean we have lease
30:50
Speaker 3: deals as low as sixty nine dollars a month with
30:53
Speaker 3: no money down on an I four.
30:56
Speaker 2: I mean, and it's no fluff, it's no no you get.
30:59
Speaker 3: In here and you have qualify for fourteen different things
31:02
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, your least payments five
31:04
Speaker 3: hundred dollars a month.
31:05
Speaker 2: That just doesn't happen. JD.
31:07
Speaker 3: They tried, They tried to get me on the Monsitor
31:09
Speaker 3: side to least an ID four.
31:10
Speaker 2: They tried really hard.
31:12
Speaker 3: I put a few days of work into it, and
31:15
Speaker 3: we're not there yet.
31:18
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean, you know, I when I saw that
31:21
Speaker 1: on your social media, I was like, how is that possible?
31:24
Speaker 1: Sixty ninety dollars a month?
31:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's both legends really put their best foot forward
31:31
Speaker 3: in January with giving the dealers the support they need
31:35
Speaker 3: to really push these cars back to the market.
31:38
Speaker 2: And all it really means to you.
31:41
Speaker 3: Guys the consumers is a great deal on an electric
31:46
Speaker 3: vehicle that can do everything you wanted to. The technology
31:50
Speaker 3: is very very well equipped in all the models, and
31:55
Speaker 3: you get all the services here, your lifetime and state
31:59
Speaker 3: inspections as well.
32:00
Speaker 1: So wow, you know, I got to tell you, guys,
32:04
Speaker 1: kudos to Cam. You're a social media guy. He's doing
32:07
Speaker 1: such a great job. I mean, when when someone comes
32:09
Speaker 1: in there and and they they purchased a vehicle from
32:13
Speaker 1: either one of you. They are just all smiles and
32:16
Speaker 1: Cam is capturing that. And one of them I saw
32:19
Speaker 1: was was someone had had this young guy had just
32:23
Speaker 1: purchased the only twenty five v W I D buzz
32:29
Speaker 1: and oh my god, man, what talk about a buzz?
32:34
Speaker 1: There is a buzz on that thing.
32:36
Speaker 3: Damn yeah, no fun intended there, there's a big buzz
32:39
Speaker 3: of that. Everybody's been waiting for the ID Buzz for
32:42
Speaker 3: a couple of years now.
32:44
Speaker 2: And what a vehicle.
32:46
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really worth the way you come in.
32:48
Speaker 3: It gives you that nostalgic feel of the old VW
32:51
Speaker 3: bus that you had back waiting before my time.
32:55
Speaker 1: Maybe micros.
32:56
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm going the wall. I'm a little
33:00
Speaker 2: bit older than Jason everybody know. But we actually had
33:03
Speaker 2: one of those orange from Folkswagen. In the end.
33:05
Speaker 4: I see the orange ID Boss and I go, dang,
33:08
Speaker 4: that looks like the one when I.
33:10
Speaker 2: Was a kid.
33:10
Speaker 1: I know, man, But we're talking what seventy two, right
33:15
Speaker 1: ish yep?
33:15
Speaker 3: Seventy yeah, so all wheel drive one with all all
33:19
Speaker 3: the goodies in it. Your mirror on seventy two, But
33:21
Speaker 3: that's before any discounts and Fulkwagon's really put a good
33:23
Speaker 3: step forward in not just rolling out a car and
33:29
Speaker 3: putting no incentive behind it. They've really they want this
33:33
Speaker 3: car to get out to market. They want people to
33:36
Speaker 3: have it, I mean, and they've given us a sport too.
33:39
Speaker 3: You don't just get one, you know, you can come down,
33:41
Speaker 3: you can touch it, feel it, drive it, because it
33:44
Speaker 3: really is an experience all in itself.
33:46
Speaker 1: And it's all wheel drive.
33:49
Speaker 3: Yep, you can get on all wheel drive. We do
33:51
Speaker 3: have a rear wheel drive one here as well, but.
33:55
Speaker 1: Fully electric, fully electric, fully electric. So have you had
34:00
Speaker 1: a chance to test drive this thing and to have
34:03
Speaker 1: a little nad I did.
34:05
Speaker 2: I did test drive one with a customer.
34:08
Speaker 3: Actually, all the sale on my sales insultants were tied up,
34:13
Speaker 3: so I asked her if she need a help, and
34:15
Speaker 3: she said, yeah, can you can I go for a
34:18
Speaker 3: riding a bus? I said yeah, let me grab a
34:20
Speaker 3: plate and she said you're driving. I said, all right,
34:22
Speaker 3: well buckle up, here we go. And it was it
34:27
Speaker 3: was really something else. I mean, we went up Gallas
34:30
Speaker 3: and Hill, came downtown Hill, did the loop around and
34:35
Speaker 3: the responsiveness of the vehicle for your being as big
34:37
Speaker 3: as it is, it doesn't feel like you're driving something
34:42
Speaker 3: that side.
34:44
Speaker 2: Wow again no.
34:48
Speaker 3: Not your mother's minivans.
34:50
Speaker 1: I would love to pop over there sometimes stream live
34:54
Speaker 1: and hop into one of those things if if you
34:56
Speaker 1: have one available and and take our are our followers
35:01

35:06
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know we're always here, Bud, all right, that's

35:32
Speaker 1: the Auto Saver group the best price period. Of course,
35:36
Speaker 1: you can browse them online. Montpelier Volkswagen dot com, Montpeliermazda
35:41
Speaker 1: dot com. Eleven eighty nine US routine in Berlin. Just
35:44
Speaker 1: passed the roundabout and get over there and say hello
35:49
Speaker 1: to Chris, to Jason, to anyone part of the staff.
35:52
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, guys, Thank you, Hey, keep up, thank you

Speaker 1: my friend. We'll talk to you guys. Yeah, we'll talk
35:59
Speaker 1: to you real soon.
36:01
Speaker 2: By all right.
36:04
Speaker 1: Again, if you're if you're just tuning in. We've got
36:08
Speaker 1: a few folks, a few scragglers here this morning. We're
36:12
Speaker 1: looking at we're looking at some a cold stretch here
36:17
Speaker 1: that is going to continue for maybe another day or so.
36:22
Speaker 1: What is it sixteen today? Sixteen today? What is it?
36:30
Speaker 1: Four degrees tonight? I think is what they're saying, four
36:33
Speaker 1: or five six degrees somewhere in there, and then a
36:37
Speaker 1: little bit of a rebound tomorrow on Thursday, with the
36:42
Speaker 1: cloudy skies in around twenty two tomorrow and maybe some
36:49
Speaker 1: some snow for the weekend. But we're watching things here.
36:53
Speaker 1: We're watching things, at least I'm trying to carefully.
36:58
Speaker 8: Oh Man.
37:01
Speaker 1: Jack Smith defending investigation into Donald Trump's new report out there.
37:07
Speaker 1: Pete Hexath confronts allegations of miscontact at the Defense Secretary
37:16
Speaker 1: confirmation hearing. I'm not sure if you've been finaling any
37:19
Speaker 1: of that, keeping up with with any of that. Incredible,
37:27
Speaker 1: really is wow. National headlines. Firefighters facing challenging conditions with
37:45
Speaker 1: powerful wins forecasted over the next twenty four hours that
37:52
Speaker 1: could reignite some fires and some extreme fire base behavior
38:03
Speaker 1: sparking new infernos. I don't know if you saw the
38:05
Speaker 1: video that it posted last night of this fire, NATO
38:10
Speaker 1: tornado of fire. It was just unbelievable. Now Sural Weather
38:17
Speaker 1: Service again reading this morning, they are issuing particularly dangerous
38:23
Speaker 1: situation red flag warnings for the Los Angeles area, advising
38:29
Speaker 1: of more high winds that could be causing fires to
38:34
Speaker 1: intensify through tomorrow. This Palisades fire has burned over twenty
38:43
Speaker 1: three thousand acres and the last I checked was only
38:49
Speaker 1: about fourteen percent contained. This is crazy stuff. Do you
38:58
Speaker 1: remember last week when I was talking about this and
39:04
Speaker 1: I was like, things are gonna get worse real fast.
39:09
Speaker 1: And it's those goddamn Santa Anna winds or whatever they are.
39:15
Speaker 1: I just can't even imagine being there. The hotels, I mean, people,
39:21
Speaker 1: you know, fill in the hotels because they have no
39:24
Speaker 1: place to live, the pets, the livestock, everything, and the children.
39:33
Speaker 1: And now we've got this new blaze called the Auto
39:36
Speaker 1: fire that broke out Monday in Venture County, part of
39:43
Speaker 1: an area under the highest fire threat as winds pick up.
39:50
Speaker 1: The response from the fire department, I can't even imagine.
39:55
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine, you know, and we see, you know,
40:01
Speaker 1: we see the news, we see the planes and helicopters
40:05
Speaker 1: dropping this chemical retardant on the on the fire. But
40:11
Speaker 1: like somebody said last night, when you got flames that
40:15
Speaker 1: are anywhere from fifty to one hundred feet in the air,
40:23
Speaker 1: dropping these water on this or chemicals, they're not even
40:30
Speaker 1: making their way to the ground. They're disintegrating. Water is
40:35
Speaker 1: vaporizing before it's even had a chance to get to
40:40
Speaker 1: the ground, to soak the ground. It's just it's unbelievable apocalyptic. Meanwhile,
40:51
Speaker 1: the Eaten and Palisades fires the second and the fourth
40:58
Speaker 1: most most just deructive in California history. And that's really
41:04
Speaker 1: saying something because California's had it. The state's been burning
41:09
Speaker 1: for a long time. Total area burned by the Palisades,
41:14
Speaker 1: Eaten and the Hurst fires sixty square miles, an area
41:21
Speaker 1: that is larger than Paris. Have you seen some of
41:27
Speaker 1: the aerial pictures before and after. Saw some last night.
41:34
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. But meanwhile, and listen, I know
41:42
Speaker 1: there's tensions are high, emotions are high. There's a ton
41:46
Speaker 1: of finger pointing going on. The mayor who promised that
41:52
Speaker 1: she would not go overseas visiting Africa before this this fire,
42:01
Speaker 1: even though the warnings were coming out in the weeks
42:06
Speaker 1: leading up to it, that there could be a devastating fire,
42:12
Speaker 1: that the conditions were prime and ripe for a tragic fire.
42:20
Speaker 1: And the mayor did what she said she wouldn't do.
42:26
Speaker 1: She left not only your state, not only your city,
42:34
Speaker 1: but the country. You know, and governor knew some. I mean,
42:43
Speaker 1: you know everybody is talking about that too. And the
42:49
Speaker 1: the reservoirs that were left dry, fire hydrants that are
42:55
Speaker 1: running out of water because the reservoirs have gone dry.
43:01
Speaker 1: It's I don't know, it seems like we we just
43:10
Speaker 1: can't have a tragedy without it getting political and you know,
43:25
Speaker 1: finger pointing. I mean, even the extreme left is really
43:35
Speaker 1: unhappy with the governor for ignoring, apparently ignoring warning signs
43:43
Speaker 1: that something like this was not only possible but eminent. Meanwhile,
43:52
Speaker 1: Hollywood debating whether the Grammy Awards should proceed as planned
43:56
Speaker 1: on February two. I mean, after all, the nomination announcements
44:02
Speaker 1: have respectfully been pushed to January third or January twenty third,
44:07
Speaker 1: I should say, how dare those wildfires interrupt the voting
44:15
Speaker 1: process for the Academy Awards? Disgusting? And I know they're
44:26
Speaker 1: going to put the spin on it with well, if
44:29
Speaker 1: we have the awards, we'll make it into a telethon
44:31
Speaker 1: for support. How about just use the network for the
44:37
Speaker 1: telethon fundraising efforts and do away with the awards or
44:42
Speaker 1: put them off for a couple of months or more.
44:50
Speaker 8: My god, so.
44:57
Speaker 1: Disappointing, almost as much as the Biden administration putting effort
45:04
Speaker 1: into creating new rules on exporting AI chips during all
45:08
Speaker 1: of this. Who gives a shit about that? Right now? Joe,
45:17
Speaker 1: did you get the memo that LA is burning? I
45:25
Speaker 1: know he's trying to squeeze in a few things before
45:28
Speaker 1: he cleans his desk. I understand, and the fine dignitaries
45:37
Speaker 1: of LA are worried about whether or not the mess
45:42
Speaker 1: is going to be cleaned up in time to host
45:44
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Again, disgusting. Really, is that
45:54
Speaker 1: what we need to be focused on right now and
45:57
Speaker 1: worried about is the twenty two twenty eight Olympics and
46:01
Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to happen in La. Well, listen,
46:06
Speaker 1: if it's getting too much for you, just round it
46:09
Speaker 1: all out in confirmation hearings this week. I don't know
46:14
Speaker 1: what else to say. But here are the sad facts.
46:17
Speaker 1: The death toll is twenty four at least that was
46:21
Speaker 1: the last I had heard last night, and likely to rise.
46:31
Speaker 1: Investigators have determined, according to the News Today, the actual
46:38
Speaker 1: spot where the Palisades fire started was on a apparently
46:43
Speaker 1: on a ridge near a hiking trail. Now. CNN says
46:48
Speaker 1: it's not clear what ignited that fire, but the story
46:52
Speaker 1: of how it started is slowly getting leaked. Was it
47:00
Speaker 1: the New Year's Eve fireworks, which some say is the culprit.
47:09
Speaker 5: Or.
47:10
Speaker 1: Was it the illegal immigrant lighting a joint with a
47:13
Speaker 1: blow torch who decided to light up a few dead
47:16
Speaker 1: Christmas trees that people had left out for trash collection.
47:26
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just rich Hollywood stars who lost everything.
47:35
Speaker 1: This fire's rippen through all kinds of neighborhoods, middle class,
47:42
Speaker 1: upper class story about this man and his son who
47:51
Speaker 1: were both in wheelchairs, who called for help in trying
48:00
Speaker 1: to get some assistance evacuating the eaten fire, and they
48:06
Speaker 1: both died in that blaze. How sad family wants answers?
48:16
Speaker 1: I think I think there's a lot of people that
48:20
Speaker 1: want a lot of answers, and that's just one that's
48:24
Speaker 1: just one of so many stories. But victims of the
48:32
Speaker 1: fires should channel their anger into support for the environment,
48:37
Speaker 1: so says Patty Davis. Did you read that one? I did.
48:50
Speaker 1: Regardless of all of the finger pointing from all political
48:54
Speaker 1: sides happening right now, the nation is praying, or at
48:57
Speaker 1: least we should be, for all those affected by this
49:04
Speaker 1: tragedy in Los Angeles. Let's see what else. Jack Smith,
49:18
Speaker 1: who indicted Donald Trump in charges of illegally trying to
49:21
Speaker 1: cling to power after the twenty twenty elections, set in
49:24
Speaker 1: a report that there would have been sufficient evidence to
49:27
Speaker 1: convict Trump in a trial. Of course, Trump's presidential win
49:31
Speaker 1: made it impossible for the prosecution to continue. This is
49:37
Speaker 1: history unfolding right before our eyes, Ladies and gentlemen. The
49:43
Speaker 1: Education Department canceled student loans for thousands more borrowers. The
49:52
Speaker 1: loans of more than five million Americans have been completely
49:58
Speaker 1: erased and forgiven. Wow, Carry Underwood is going to perform
50:14
Speaker 1: at Trump's inauguration. Does Trump even know who Carrie Underwood
50:24
Speaker 1: is really? I wonder Elon Musk expected to be using
50:39
Speaker 1: office space in the White House complex to keep him
50:42
Speaker 1: close to Trump as he builds his Department of government efficiency. Wonderful.
50:50
Speaker 1: Get an inside look of what that office is UH
50:53
Speaker 1: is going to look like. Israel and Hummas in World
51:00
Speaker 1: News said to be close to an agreement for a
51:04
Speaker 1: ceasefire in Gaza, along with the release of around thirty
51:09
Speaker 1: three hostages during the first phase of the agreement. Hamas
51:15
Speaker 1: and its allies still hold ninety four of the two
51:20
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one hostages taken from Israel two hundred
51:27
Speaker 1: and fifty one, including at least thirty four whom are dead.
51:38
Speaker 1: This all according to Israeli government. Ukraine striking Russian regions
51:46
Speaker 1: with a major drone in missile attack overnight, damaging at
51:52
Speaker 1: least two factories and forcing schools to close in a
51:58
Speaker 1: major southern Russian city. Well, there's just two of many
52:10
Speaker 1: headlines going on in the world. I don't know what
52:17
Speaker 1: to tell you anymore. Massy's saying he watched Iron Man
52:26
Speaker 1: two yesterday. I forgot there was a quick elon Musk
52:32
Speaker 1: cameo in that movie. I was thinking that Massy was
52:39
Speaker 1: gonna say that I look like Iron Man, but he didn't.
52:45
Speaker 1: It's okay. We're always live, We're always local, always never edited,
53:00
Speaker 1: and heard on Facebook and YouTube right here from North
53:05
Speaker 1: Main Street and Berry from Flying the Wall Productions. Good cough, Yeah,
53:17
Speaker 1: try to be real. We try to be raw and
53:20
Speaker 1: relevant and relatable. Little under the weather, coming back feeling
53:31
Speaker 1: better and looking forward to I don't know if Rex
53:39
Speaker 1: is going to be with me on Friday. I'm hoping
53:44
Speaker 1: that we're going to get G in here, and he
53:51
Speaker 1: doesn't know it yet. But one of the things that
53:56
Speaker 1: I'm going to be discussing with G tomorrow is that
54:04
Speaker 1: Walmart's logo got its first facelift in nearly twenty years.
54:16
Speaker 1: The new logo redesigned logo inspired by founder Sam Walton's
54:25
Speaker 1: old trucker hat. Tomorrow, I am going to bring this
54:33
Speaker 1: up with G and I'm going to show you this
54:41
Speaker 1: new Walmart logo, and I'm going to try so hard,
54:48
Speaker 1: so hard not to laugh. I might even have to
54:55
Speaker 1: take a little something so that I don't laugh. Tomorrow.
54:58
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm going to do, but we'll
55:02
Speaker 1: have some fun. I promise you, Dwayne, make sure you're
55:07
Speaker 1: listening tomorrow morning. You tuned in Penny, Good morning, Glenn,
55:13
Speaker 1: top of it to you and Rebecca. Last night we
55:22
Speaker 1: watched the Berry City Council meeting from January thirteenth. I
55:28
Speaker 1: would have attended it, or I would have attended if
55:34
Speaker 1: it was published and advertised. Glenn, thanks for the recipe,
55:44
Speaker 1: concoction of hundreds of lemons, garlic, bulbs, cayenne pepper, ginger, tequila,
55:58
Speaker 1: and everything else that you made. Make right here.
56:09
