The Business News Headlines and More 5 January 2026

The markets reacted to the military action in Venezuela and that kicks off our newscast this evening. This is the Business News Headlines for Monday the 5th day of January, thanks for listening. In other news, a major tax break for multi-national companies made the news. The FAA announced it is replacing radar programs that date back to the 1980’s. West Virginia residents have seen massive increases in their electric rates and we’ll share why. We’ve got a story of some very expensive fish out of Tokyo. We’ll check the numbers in The Wall Street Report and yet another check on oil from Venezuela.  For the conversation you’ll meet musician Wade Krieg from The Sons of Gladys Kravitz that recently were inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  But first the news.

Thanks for listening!
