And the Welcome to Big News Wednesday. Welcome back everyone to the news. We're it. We are the news. I'm Jaina Roll. That's Francesca Fiore and TV.

I'm going. Happy New Year,

Year to you.

Happy, I don't know if this is the song.

Hi, to you.

Happy New Year, what a year.

Hi, really good to be here.

What's up? I worry that that has doomed the year if that's the vibe that's the case.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very much like the scene in Titanic where the radio stops working.

Was that in Titanic? Or no no no no it's the other one it's not down it's up it's the

one in Apollo 13 where like the the radio starts to like me bur bur burr burr burr

that's what 2024 is already

looking like I appreciated that transform a sound effect but it's been a long time

since I've seen either of those films unfortunately but anyway glad to have you here things coming back. I know you're not normally here on Wednesdays, but thank you now.

Thank you. Thank you. J.R. who will someday be on the show again. We'll see, probably soon, maybe. I predict he will be though,

and we have other predictions coming for our members, which we will be recording later on.

Every year we do our predictions for the year and so we're

going to do that. I got good ones. But anyway glad to have you here especially because we got

a lot of news to talk about not only all there's so much stuff having to do with the Epstein

associate files that are come out and the funny thing is it's like they're not going to come out

anytime soon but lots of people are already really worried and I feel like their preemptive

attempts to defend themselves are really making them look bad.
