Hour 1: New federal holidays!

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Some California wildfire responses have faced criticism after claims that access restrictions in certain protected areas were due to liberals' limited early firefighting efforts, though these allegations are still under review, and officials cite weather and dry conditions as key factors in the fires’ spread. President Trump signed an executive order making Dec. 24 and Dec. 26 federal closure days for 2025, giving federal workers additional time off around Christmas without permanently changing the holiday calendar. Ken takes your calls!  Crude oil prices have dropped to under $55 a barrel. Gas has fallen below $3.00 in most parts of the country. Gas prices falling could help the consumer save more money in the future.
