Nearly two weeks after reopening the government following that historic shutdown,
lawmakers continue to fight across party lines on a key issue.

Trump addressed the ongoing negotiations in Washington whether to extend
healthcare subsidies.

Here's the President.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Exended for two years.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I don't want the Senate for tweers. I'd rather not
extend them at all.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
This shouldn't have been dividing Democrats and Republicans on Capitol
Hill for months. We will keep you posted and progress
being made toward a deal that could end the war
between Right and Ukraine. You were Senator Mark Wayne Mullen,
oh Lahom.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
You know he thought this would be the easy one.
He thought he could get this done, this deal to
bring peace to Ukraine together very quickly when he first
got in office. It's proven to be very, very difficult.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Russia's invasion of Ukraine began more than three years ago. Washington,
DC Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser has announced her name will

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Big travel day today, Let's head to the producer's booth, Adam,
anything going on with the Ford International Airport right now?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
The Ford's looking pretty good. There's one flight American Airlines
to Charlotte that's been delayed thirty minutes, so that's now
going to take off at six thirty seven this morning. Otherwise,
everything on time. And over in Detroit, there's nothing to
laid so far. I mean, they're further east, so the
snow is not going to hit them. They might not
even get that much today because a lot of today
is lake effect. So if you're heading toward Detroit, things

(02:07):
are looking good today.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Two minutes from traffic and weather.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
We are getting ready for a gigantic college football weekend.
When you look at Ole Miss and Mississippi State playing
at Mississippi State, that's the first game up Friday at noon.
Then you've got the game we'll talk about. Ty Hallick
is going to join us on a Wednesday because of
the Lions playing tomorrow and Michigan and Ohio State. But
college football's playoff rankings came out again for week fourteen

(02:33):
last night. Remember it's every Tuesday as we count down
and not a lot changed.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
But this is the way it looks.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Ohio State one, Indiana two, Texas A and M three
Georgia four, same as last week, which means they would
get first round byes into the quarterfinals. Now the way
it's set up right now, Texas Tech would be five.
They would take on Tulane, Who's twelve. You have Oklahoma
eight taking on Notre Dame at a first round matchup.
Who's nine organ out of the Big ten six after

(03:01):
their big win over usc this past weekend taking on
number eleven Miami of Florida, and then Ole Miss at
seven with Lane Kiff And what's he gonna do? Is
he gonna stay as the Rebels head coach. We'll find
out this weekend. After that gamer is gonna go to
LSU or Florida Alabama ten. Now people are wondering could
Michigan catapult into the college football Playoff if they knock

(03:21):
off Ohio State for a fifth consecutive time. I tell
you what, It might be tough to keep them out.
But here's something to keep in mind. They lost head
to head to Oklahoma, who's in this mix as well
for an at large bid, so that would go against Michigan.
But a win over unbeaten number one Ohio State, you'd
have to think would shoot them up the rankings. So
heck of a game. Noon on Saturday eleven am starts

our coverage right here on your home from Michigan Football
from the Big House Wood.
