hundred billion dollars in the US other cities as well,
trying to get twenty thousand jobs coming to our country.
And we also learned that vestis a global wind turbine
manufacturing company, is going to be opening their corporate office

Voted last night to close six elementary schools there next year,
trying to save money, like twenty five million dollars the
kids next year will be moved to schools with better facilities.
And in Edo and the East End, residents worried about
a proposal to expand the Georgia r Brown that it

for those in the area. Residents express their views at
a city council meeting last night. Now, if you've got concerns, questions,

us by our friends at Goodwill Houston Well Captain Edward Eskamia,
Jonathan Gooseman, and Darren Jones spend weeks in the hospital.
They were injured in a fire in southwest Houston. It
was an apartment fire January seventh. They are doing great now,

(02:05):
getting over their second and third degree burns, and they
were recently honored with.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
A gift from the Texans.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Travis Johnson came and presented came to fire Station forty six,
by the way, and presented the three with custom Texans jerseys.
Ho and the presentation was completed with the Texans cheerleaders,
of course, and they celebrated at fire Station forty six.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
The firefighters so appreciative.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
They said, we don't do this for accolades, of course,
but they were so appreciative. And if you would like
to help out with the expenses that these firefighters have
incurred from that devastating apartment fire, you can donate to
health these firefighters. It's called Houston's Bravest dot org. Definitely
check it out. Producer Anthony Dean.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
We all remember that famous DeLorean carr from Back to
the Future. About nine thousand of them were made between
nineteen eighty one and eighty three, and estimate and it's
six thousand are still on the streets. And there's three,
count them, three Delorian auto shops still operating in the US.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
One of them is up in Umbole.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I didn't know this. It's the classic DeLorean motor company.
They sell, part service, help restore, even sell Delorians. Their
presidency is they get cars from all over the world
to work on they stop more than three and a
half million DeLorean parts, some still in their original packaging
from Germany and England. They say there's about three thousand
parts that make up one of those and they have
about ninety eight percent of them right there in the building.

(03:28):
They've even got merch hot wheels cars for the kids.
It's so cool to see it. It's the Classic Delorian
Motor Company. Find them off Eddie Drive and Umble and
check them out on insta at Classic DMC and you
two can go back to the future.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
You know. The Delorian kind of reminds me of the
new Tesla truck a little yeah, right, that same kind.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Just you see it and you're like.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Who similar designs? Incredibly, you always get your attention.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Speaking of seeing something incredible, I just saw the video
of this. We have got two major heroes. They are
Harris County Sheriff's deputies and they were hit head on
by a suspected drunk driver early Tuesday morning in Baytown.
It was an intentional hit, Deputies Josh Blair and Louis Ayala.

(04:10):
They sprung into action after several people called nine to
one to one reporting a wrong way driver on the freeway.
So The driver was going eastbound on the westbound lanes.
The two deputies got on the freeway stayed in the middle.
I mean, I'm just getting like heart palpitation really about
this until they saw the headlights coming towards them.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
They moved to engage with the vehicle.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
In the dense fog, they slowed down to fifteen miles
per hour to reduce impact. They were hit head on.
They said it felt like they hit a brick wall.
They survived it. They prevented that driver from hitting anyone else.
And Deputy Ayala has been in the department for only
thirty two days. Deputy Blair has been there since twenty eighteen.

(04:54):
It was a life saving move and you're not going
to believe this. The twenty three year old suspected drunk driver,
who is in jail by right now said he actually
asked them, why did you hit me so hard? Right?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Unbelievable move by these deputies. Dangs so much. Really, we
doing that for all of us. Listen.
