Take a at this video. Well warn you ahead of time it is alarming. Protestors coming into theto hearing room today of the United States senate dressed in kkk costumes. At one point as they were as dragged out of here by the Us Capital Police they started shouting cant arrest me, im high. After they were finallyr dispatchedthey with t this hearn got down to business and democrats got to work going after senator sessions at one oe point attacking his record on civil rights, attack his record on womens issues, raising questions about how he would operate as the nations top Law Enforcement positions. Tion when it was his time to talk he went after the accusations saying flatly he will recuse himself out of any case that comes before the Justice Department that has to do with Hillary Clintons emails. Furthermore he ae renounces any suggestions that he has anything less than support for civil rights. He went after the accusationsatio flatly and told this committee he is ready to serve. The president elect said to his opponent during a debate, and i quote, if i win, im going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look at your situation, end quote. Lets deal with the the facts. Lets deal with what was actually voted on much lets deal with the violence againstlc women act that you voted against the democrats. I was accused in 1986 of failing to protect the africanamericans by presentingi the barry county case, the voter fraud case and of condemning Civil Rights Act vocation and even harboring amazingly sympathies for the kkk. These are are false charges. With regard to secretary clintons and some of the comments i made, i do believeve that that could place my objectivity in question. Ive given that that. I i believe the proper thing forvr me to dopo would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kind of investigations that involve secretary clinton that were raised during the campaign. The bottom on this, what will all of this talk up here tonighh mean . Well, it will probablyll result in Jeff Sessions beg approveds a the next attorneyato general. Democrats are outnumbered in the senate. Se they dont have t stop any of this, barring anyri kind of miracle it appears that donald trump will get Jeff Sessions as his next attorney general. Gene were live on the hill. President obama will deliver his farewell address tonight in in chicago.

Unfortunately in some of these t areas the temperature has not been able to come up beyond 32degrees. Did get above 32degrees here 3 in the2 district. We eventually got up to 377 today. So were not too concerned here locally, but let me show you that freezing rain advisory. As we get into in a little bitt closer it includ county, it also includes parts of Howard County and pointsoint north and when. We have not seen very muchen v showing up on radar, but that may change a little bit laterbit and we all know it doesnt take much to cause problems. So agains. In those areas, we he found temperatures to be veryer close to the 32degree mark and thats what is giving us concern. So we do believe as the night goes on, though, temperaturesh, are going to try to rise a little bit and closer to morning, a couple of pieces of good news. For starters we think the rain will be over and the temperatures should try to rice. Its always an hour by hour slog when you have a freezing rainin threat. Thre the rain is mostly north and west. It would not take much to cause any problems. If the temperatures continue toi risenu overnight we should be in much better shape tomorrow morning, the wednesday morningds commute the temperatures will be dry and also above the 32degree reading.
