Why is it so cold?  You may have undoubtedly noticed that the temps outside have been dangerously cold.  Host Ryan Wrecker spoke with AccuWeather Meteorologist Dave Bowers about the Polar Vortex and what is going on with the temperatures.  After that Ryan reviews some of the new laws taking effect starting today.  One such law now allows you to get an original copy of your birth certificate.  This allows people who have been adopted to find their birth parents.  In Illinois, persons at age 16 and 17 can now register themselves for the organ donor registry when they get their license.  Another new law on the books is creating custody plans for your pets.  Ryan wants to know what is going on with the Amazon HQ2 bid.  He shares some information about proposals from around North America that were released in a Singapore newspaper.  Ryan ends the hour with a bombshell story about a Hillary Clinton backer who paid 500 thousand dollars to fund Trump Sexual harassment accusers.
