Third hour, Clay Ann Buck, gets going right now.

Thanks for being here with us.

Bottom of the hour, we'll have Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, joining us.

He's got a movie out he wants to talk to us about.

Producer Allie says is excellent, so we are looking forward to talking about it.

We've also got the breaking news today of a deal in principle agreed to between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

This looks like it could be the end of the 15-month-long war, which began with the horrific mass terror attack, mass casualty terror attack by Hamas against Israel on October 7th.

And there's the exchange of hostages that is likely to happen here.

We don't know exactly what the timeline is for that.

A lot of people, though, are pointing out that this happening right before Trump takes office

seems to be pretty strong, a pretty strong indicator for Trump as part of the catalyst here.

Hamas does not want to go into a situation where Trump feels like they are not listening to what he made a very clear threat about, which was, you better return the hostages or I'm going to unleash holy hell on you, essentially.

One other note, Clay, inflation has ticked up to 2.9%. They're saying, this is Wall Street Journal.

Underline price gains are muted.

You know, inflation is still not where it's supposed to be.

And given the inflationary run-up we had under Biden's time in office, that is something

that, yes, sir.

No, no, you're right.

I was just going to add in, I think it's 21.7% it's increased while Biden was in office.

Here is something that I think is alarming.

And I know a lot of our listeners out there have noticed this.

Mortgage rates haven't come down at all as the overall lending rate has come down.
