Speaker 2 (00:17):
Say nicey, Grevny Connell, keeping you sad bab. Welcome, Welcome,
Welcome to a Wednesday edition of the show. It's a
short show. I'm broadcasting why from Southern Command. I have
pulled myself up into the sitting position. I woke up

(00:40):
this morning with the upper respiratory virus. It's going around.
Chuck had it last week. Ross had it last week,
and I guess it's my week. But that's okay because
I only have an hour, so I will make sure
that we take you right through this hour of quality programming.
I do want to reflect back on a conversation I
just had with Ross. I talked about this product that

(01:02):
I used in my nasal rints this morning and on
I'm not gonna lie. It was uh, it was excruciatingly intense.
The product is called alcohol alkohol a l K A
L O L, and the L O L is hah.
You think you're gonna put this in your nose and
it's not gonna hurt. All that being said, it was

(01:25):
really effective in kind of unclogging my nose and drying
everything out, like I use saline in that all the time.
Nothing compared to what this stuff did. But I'm not
gonna lie. I cried a little after I used it,
and I'm not even exaggerating. I'm not you know, I'm
not engaging in hyperbole. But it is called alkal lol

(01:46):
A l K A l O L alcohol. And just
be ready start slow because I put two capfuls in
my little, my little nasal rints thing that might have
been too much Holy mackerel. This texter said Mandy. I've
been using alcohol for years, but you should only use
a teaspoon to five hundred millilters of solution to start

(02:09):
until you get used to it. I'm damn near burned
my nose off because I got thought the more the better,
not with this stuff. Amen to that, my friend. Amen
to that. Let's go to the blog. Find it at
mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Looks for the
headline that says two twenty six two twenty six twenty
five blog the law firm hired by Johnston gets thumped

(02:30):
by Trump. Click on that and here are the headlines
you will find within anyone's tossing office out when all
at times press plas today on the show, we will
still have weather Wednesday on our short show. Trump thumps
Johnston's law firm. Democrats want to make buying AMMO a
total pain in that you know what Colorado's budget shortfall

(02:53):
is because of overspending union demonstrates ignorance about business. How
bad is the new gun bill? Aurora voters will have
some choices to make. Get your hands off my guest,
Dove Boulder, anti trumper running for ag want to help doage?
Do not buy this book? Scrolling scrolling. Jeff Bezos yanks

(03:14):
the WAPO editorial page to the right. Ashley Saint Clair
is what's wrong with women? A deal on mineral rights
has been struck? Did James Comy try to honey trap
the Trump campaign? Adults with disabilities deserve the dignity of work.
The quality parody songs are coming fast and furious, the
useful idiots of socialism influencers. Is Christianity poised for a comeback?

(03:37):
Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
And because we have the Rockies coming up at twelve
to fifty five today. Then we are going to have
a very short show, but we've got a lot of
stuff as you can see, and I have some really
good videos on the blog today. The first big story

(03:58):
that I want to jump into. First of all, Dave
Fraser going to join us at twelve thirty. We were like,
you know, it's a short show, but during the baseball season,
when the pregame starts at twelve thirty, we're going to
lose a lot of weather Wednesdays during spring training, they
don't really do a big pregame. So there you go. Anyway, Yeah,
somebody else said, love that sound clip at a rod

(04:19):
Play it one more time, Just play it one more
time now to be clear. Yeah, go ahead on, Yeah,
to be clear. That is an unedited SoundBite of Joe Biden. Yeah,
he was trying to talk about some things and got
kind of caught up. There you go. It makes me

(04:41):
laugh every time, and exact say that clip is tech winner.
Those two. I love them both. What are we going
to do when it's no more old people in office?
Though they'll always be old people, I know, I know.
I was just kidding. Oh, I was just kidding all way.
So somebody said my dennist recommended alcohol twenty years ago

(05:02):
as a mouthwash. Works great, haven't out of cavity since
I'm not putting that in my mouth booty juice. Yeah,
that's another good one. You know that man in time,
that man used to be the president and she wanted
to be the president. We've dodged a bullet, friends, we
have dodged a bullet.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Our Mayor Mike Johnston is going to be testifying in
front of Congress in uh A next week. I believe
he'll give us one what oh, maybe that would be fantastic. Anyway,
he is going to testify before Congress, but for some
reason he needed to engage the services of an outside

(05:41):
law firm in order to hold his hand through his
congressional testimony. That law firm is called Covington and Berling.
So Covington and Burling has been put on retainer, as
they say, by Denver, the city of Denver, up to
two million dollars. That's how much. Oh my goodness, Mandy,

(06:01):
I put the wrong link to the wrong story. But
that's okay. I remember enough of the details that I
can fix this on the break. And I blame the illness.
I blame the sickness. That's what I'm doing right now.
I'm just I'm mustling through for you people. Hey, watch it.
Nobody asked you. Nobody asked you. Anyway, Donald Trump decided

(06:25):
to strip all of the security clearances from a law
firm that happens to be the same law firm Covington
and Berling that our mayor has now contracted with to be,
you know, help him through this congressional stuff. Now, they

(06:45):
have long and long long ties to the Democratic Party
long way back, way way way back, and a lot
of the members of this firm have worked for various
Democratic administrations. So they had an ongoing security clearance. It's
gone now. And you know why because this same law firm,

(07:07):
Covington and Berling, that Meyer Mike Johnson hired to hold
his hand through his congressional testimony. They also provided one
hundred and forty thousand dollars worth of pro bono support
to one mister Jack Smith in his politically motivated prosecutions
of Donald Trump. And I think I should anyway, I

(07:27):
have enough street cred with you guys in my ongoing
back and forth about how I feel about Donald Trump.
Because while I love so much of the stuff he's doing.
I still don't like the pettiness that we see on
Twitter and other platforms. I just personally I don't find him.
He's not someone I want to hang around with. But

(07:47):
I don't care because right now he's doing exactly what
I need him to do. So by providing that pro
bono support to Jack Smith and his politically motivated prosecutions, Oh,
I just lost track of what I was saying there.
I hope I haven't a street cred with you guys
because of my ongoing back and forth with my feelings
about Donald Trump. So when I say those prosecutions were

(08:10):
politically motivated, I hope you realize I'm not just some
partisan hack who doesn't believe that Donald Trump has ever
done anything wrong. That's not it at all. But these
two particular investigations were absolutely politically motivated. Will Johnston's testimony
be live? Please advise? Oh? I will. Every House committee
hearing is televised. You guys have to know that it's

(08:33):
televised on c SPAN. So if you want to know
what's going on, go to cspan dot org and you
can usually find every committee meeting there, especially one like this,
This is going to be a lot of political theater,
and so many committee meetings are actually political theater, especially
the ones that people watch. But this is going to
be democratic mayors who are going to be coming to

(08:54):
defend their policies in front of a Congress that is
openly hostile to those policies and the sanctuary status that
we have here in Denver. So I'm not sure how
this affects Covington and Berlin having their security clearance as stripped.
But that's not all. The Department of Justice is actually
looking into the assistance they provided in these investigations. So

(09:18):
it's going to be very very interesting. You know, things
are happening very very quickly. On yesterday's brief Show, I
had a story about these NSA and CIA and intelligence
officials that were using a federal government server in order
to have a chat on a chat client that is
a federal government platform about all kinds of disgusting things.

(09:42):
Well that's not all they talked about. They didn't just
talk about sex and sex changes, although they did. They
also spent a lot of time celebrating the death of
Christian leader Pat Robertson, talking about Tulci Gabbert their new boss.
In the case of the intelligence community being a Russian plant,

(10:03):
libs of TikTok as an effing monster. They slurred Italian
Americans as terrible people. Intel officials are rallying opposition on
these federal government message boards to President Trump's cabinet nominees
in secret NSSA chat rooms. One NSA official who claims
to use it it's pronouns, wants to make sure that

(10:26):
people know that's not dehumanizing. Yeah. Well, guess what, new
Intelligence Director Tulca Gabbert just fired all of them. All
of them, they're gone. And I was like, oh my god, Yes, yes,
this is how it should work. We should not allow
a bureaucracy. And here's the thing, you guys, this would

(10:48):
be the same if Kamala Harris was president. Now, of course,
we wouldn't even need to have this conversation because the
bureaucracy in DC firmly leans to the left, firmly, no
doubt about it, because they want the party that wants
big government, because that's job security. I mean, it's not
a difficult thing to figure out. So now we have

(11:10):
people that are having to pay a price for being
part of the quote resistance. When Donald Trump was president
the first time, he did not have a clue what
he was in for when it came to the bureaucracy.
He does now. And for all of these people that
are running around clutching their pearls saying he's going too fast,

(11:31):
all of this stuff is just happening too quickly. Well,
does he give the people working on NSA chat rooms
time to coalesce their quote resistance to the administration that
they now work for. Could you imagine, And I don't care,
I don't know what your workplace is, right, what if
you're what if you work for a roofer and you

(11:53):
go with the guys on your crew, and all day
long you're talking about the fact that you are going
to absolutely undermine that You're going to make sure his
business fails. Whatever great idea comes up with, you are
going to make sure that it's an absolute disaster. Now,
in the private sector, one would never do that because
that would cost you your job, right, But in the

(12:14):
public sector, they don't have to worry about things like
profits or success. They will just continue to live off
of the taxpayers indefinitely. And here's the other part of
this is if you don't like the administration. If you're
a hardcore right wing conservative and Kamala Harris wins, you
have choices. You can leave your employment and go work

(12:37):
in the private sector, or you can suck it up
and execute the plans of the administrator, which is the
executive in chief, and do what you are hired to do,
which is bring their vision to life. You have options,
but what you don't have is the right to subvert
a person who was elected by a majority of the
American people to do that job. You little bureaucrat at

(13:01):
the NSSA trying to get people together to make sure
that Trump doesn't get anything done. You were not elected,
but the president was elected. This is the problem with
working for government. Hard choices have to be made, and
now for some of these people, there's hard choices have
been made for them. So yeah, it was really, really

(13:23):
really Now, Yeah, Trump said it wouldn't be about revenge
at all, but success. Well, it's hard for him to
call revenge his success. Don't care if Smith was wrong. Okay,
let me take that on for a second. So what
you're saying is I don't care that the Department of
Justice was weaponized to keep a political opponent out of

(13:44):
a presidential election, because that was the purpose of the
Jack Smith indictments. The purpose was to keep Donald Trump
from being president again. So by being flippant about this,
by being flippant about the fact that now people are
being torn out, root and branch of these offices, you're saying,
that's okay, that's fine with you. Any sitting president, including

(14:07):
Donald Trump, can use the Department of Justice to target
their political opponents with completely ginned up prosecutions and designed
to keep them from winning an election. And that's okay,
because that's what we're doing here by going after the
people who politicized the Department of Justice. And by the way,

(14:30):
I got a James Comy's story today that is insane,
absolutely insane. Apparently, and this is all alleged, we don't
know the details yet. So Allegedly former FBI Director James
Comey directed two female FBI agents to work their way

(14:50):
into the inner workings of the Trump campaign in a
honeypot sting so he could keep an eye on what
was going on. Allegedly that happened. Is that okay, Texter?
Is that okay? So? I mean, when we're talking about it,
when you look at it from the sense that, oh,
Donald Trump is seeking revenge. It absolutely can be seen

(15:12):
that way, one hundred one hundred percent, because he's going
after the people who use the system incorrectly to go
after him. But if he roots it out. Now, if
the Trump administration starts doing these same things, if they
start using political investigations to go after Gavin Newsom, if
they start using trumped up charges to go after their

(15:33):
political opponents, then you have an argument, Texter. But right now,
I'm not comfortable with a Department of Justice or NSA
officials working together to stop the president's agenda. That's not
how this whole thing is supposed to work. So if
it feels like revenge when it's actually fixing the problem,
maybe that's just a bonus for Donald Trump. Maybe, so

(15:57):
we shall see. Mandy saw a report earlier today a
whistleblower says the FBI has been purging Epstein info. That's
part of the issue if they move slower where Pam
Bondy says she has the Epstein list. I don't know
why she hasn't released it already. I'm sure that there
are Republican names on that list that are not flattering,
but I don't care if they're Republicans that were hanging

(16:19):
out with Jeffrey Epstein and banging underage chicks. I want
them gone. I want them gone right now. So yeah,
if there are people on that list, I want them
all gone one hundred percent. Mandy. Those intelligence community DEI
hires also got rid of useful and needed top top

(16:40):
secret level forums under Biden because someone got their pronouns wrong.
I mean, come on, there's no doubt about that. I mean,
it's just absolutely ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Let's see here, we've
got more stuff on the show. In any case, So
the law firm that's gonna be representing my cho Conston

(17:00):
is a politically motivated law firm as well. Shocker, right,
But hey, Denver taxpayers, you're going to give them two
million bucks. That's fantastic. Real quick. I want to make
sure that we're not ignoring the stuff that's happening in
the Colorado General Assembly, because members on the House are
about to pass a bill that is going to listen

(17:22):
to what they're about to do to Ammo purchases. They're
working on a bill that calls for people purchasing Ammo
in Colorado to be twenty one or over. Additionally, it
looks to move ammo off the sales floor and behind
the counter, calling on vendors to assist buyers with their
purchases by walking those products to the checkout line with them.

(17:47):
The bill would also require people delivering ammunition to receive
confirmation that the purchaser is twenty one or over. They
will not rest until they have made owning a firearm
in Colorado so miserable and so oppressive that they will
turn thousands and thousands and thousands of gun owners into

(18:07):
well scofflaws. Because these these laws are ridiculous, absolutely insane,
just insane. So we shall see. Okay, in just a minute,
let me talk you about the videos on the blog today,
because I got some good ones. Not a whole lot,
but I do have some good ones. You've got to
read about the Jake Tapper nonsense. Jake Tapper, you remember

(18:27):
Jake Tapper, who could not shut down people fast enough,
who questioned Joe Biden's competence during the actual part of
his campaign or the actual part of his presidency. He's
got a new book out. It's called Original Sin, President
Biden's Decline. It's cover up and his disastrous choice to
run again. Let me read you this a little bit

(18:51):
from two of America's most respected journalists, an unflinching and
explosive reckoning with one of the most faithful decisions in
American political history, Joe Biden's run for reelection, despite evidence
of his serious decline and the desperate efforts to hide
the extent of that deterioration. Do not buy this book.

(19:14):
Let's see how fast we can get it into the
bargain bend, because I have a video of Jake Tapper
shutting down someone who had the nerve to question whether
or not Joe Biden still had his mental faculties, which
we all knew the answer to that question, and it
was a big fat no. We'll be right back with
weather Wednesday right after this. Keep it on KOWA. All right,

(19:37):
my friends, it's time to check in with Fox thirty
one chief meteorologist Dave Frasier. Dave, today is lovely, but
we have a little more like winter coming next week,
don't we.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah, let's not get the cart before the horse. Let's
enjoy what we've got. It's not really looking like winter.
It's going to be another one of these specific storms
late Monday in early Tuesday, maybe back again after a
break in the afternoon. But the temperatures right now, Mandy,
Monday's still going to be in the sixties, like sixty one.

(20:11):
Thnesday might be forty five. So you're dealing with a
it's kind of a spring Pacific storm again. When they
come in from the Pacific, they just don't bring the
cold air with them. It doesn't mean you can't get
rain and snow. It doesn't mean you can't get some
grassy accumulation or maybe a little coating on the roads.
We'll keep an eye out for that and any impact
that it might have. But the temperature Tuesday morning, if
there was a rain snow mix, is like at thirty.

(20:32):
So you're kind of there, but probably not turning things
too bad or too slick, but we'll keep an eye
out on it.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
So let me ask you. We've had a bunch of
snowfall in the mountains. I was talking to my chiropractor,
doctor Cook, and he said he went skiing last weekend
and said it was the best snow of my life.
And he's not exactly like a ten year old, you
know what I mean. So, I mean, how is our

(20:59):
snowpacked do and obviously they're going to get more. They're
gonna get snow out of this system.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I'm guessing yes, yeah, they'll get several inches out of it.
You know, President's Day weekend we had really good snow,
and then that following weekend, the weekend after President's Day
set out was doubting that they were anticipating just as
much traffic as the holiday weekend because we had all
that fresh snow. So yeah, the snow has been good.
The resorts are sharing tons of pictures and video of

(21:27):
all the fresh powder up there, a lot of runs open.
I will tell you that the northern mountains are all
doing great, in excess about one hundred percent of the
snowpack for this time of the year. The southwest mountains
are struggling. They're below seventy percent. So I think of
the San Juans, the up are Rio Grand down in
the San Luis Valley, But that's what we expected coming in.
This is a if you looked at a map online

(21:49):
of what a typical pattern for lat Ninia winter would
look like, the current Colorado snowpack matches that perfectly, where
the northern mountains benefit and the southern mountains struck, so
we are in great shape the front range, the South
Platte River Valley. For our water supply one hundred and
seven percent of normal right now, and that's good because
we load all the way through April first. We've still

(22:11):
got March as our snowiest month coming up.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
All right, I've got a question from David, and he
asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but it
was the end of the segment. I didn't get it
in time. He's asking, have you begun to look at
how cold this February is in the historical register of februaries,
because it certainly felt really cold this February. Are we

(22:35):
exceptionally cold or are we just hallucinating?

Speaker 3 (22:38):
So it's funny, thank you David for that question. You
kind of teed me up because I'm sitting here looking
at it every night for about the last ten days.
Right around nine forty five when I do an update
in our nine o'clock news on Fox thirty one, I've
been sharing the calendar for the month. We do that generally.
So the month started off with fifties and sixties for
six straight days, and we had that arctic blast at

(23:01):
the start of week two that lasted for four days,
and so we had overnight lows below zero, we had
highs like on the twelfth of the month, it was
only ten or high. Then that second week a week
could go from now we were still struggling four straight
days with temperatures at twenty eight, twelve, twenty one, twenty six,
overnight lows again below zero. So fresh in everybody's mind

(23:22):
is that middle part of February. Well, here's the funny thing,
that warm start of the month and the stretch of
the temperatures we've had. Now we are only two point
nine degrees below normal, and with two more days expected
in the sixties, the temperature profile for February will actually
end up probably right at normal. It will not get
into the top twenty list as coldest, it will not

(23:44):
get into the top twenty list as warmest. It will
not get into the top twenty list for most snow,
and it will not get in the top twenty list
for lease snow. So it's going to come out average
and it's going to be a little shy on the
snow by about two and a half inches.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
What was the coldest what was our cold temperature ever
in February in the metro. I mean, do you have
that information or have you done that?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
The coldest temperature, well, I know the coldest temperature ever
in Colorado was twenty nine below its way back in
eighteen seventy nine. As far as the coldest temperature in
the month of February, I can probably tell you here
pretty quickly. Give me a second, ask me another question
while I pull it up, and I'll get that answer
for you.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
My question is about when you guys work in television meteorology,
it seems like every TV station is always looking for
the neatest piece of tech, like to improve the way
the system looks. Do you guys get to weigh in
on that as members of the meteorology staff or do
you just is are those decisions made above you?

Speaker 4 (24:49):
No?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
No, we weigh in on it because we're the end user,
right right. I do want somebody going out and buying
a piece of equipment. That's happened in my career where
management or a corporation will go out and buy what
they think is a great piece of equipment for the
meteorologists to use because it's the latest cutting edge, and
then come to find out it doesn't fit the needs

(25:10):
of how nets come about making their graphics and putting
their forecast together. That happened a lot of people remember this.
So you remember the original Jurassic Park and it was cool.
There was this cool fly by simulation of a hurricane
that was heading to the island. Well, that piece of
equipment called Earthwatch was then marketed for television nets and

(25:32):
news directors loved it, went crazy and they were starting
to buy them across the country because you could do
this three dimensional fly through stuff. Well, it had no
graphics in it. You couldn't even put text in it. Wow,
seven day together without text. So we are deeply involved
in those decision makings for making sure that we're getting
the best piece of equipment that fits the needs. And

(25:54):
you know, how much of it do we need? Do
we need? Three boxes? Four boxes, five boxes? We have
a lot of boxes because we have the two stations
and we're pretty much round the clock.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
So okay, so now cold this tempature in February, right.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Still looking, I'm still looking, keep going, keep going.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
I don't have anything. You put me on the spot. Okay,
let's let's regroup and we'll answer that next week because
we'll be done with February and we'll we'll just put
that on the docket for next Wednesday's Weather Wednesday and
go from there because I'm out, I'm out of questions.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, and I know you got a short show too,
So David, my apologies. I will get that question answered, uh,
and I'll text it. I'll text it to a Rod
and if you have time before the end of the show,
you can shout the number out.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
You actually answered David's questions, which is is this month
is going to be in the record books when in reality,
it's just going to be a very average February when
all is said and done.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Right, So I didn't let David down. It was the
question about the coldest. I will find it for you
and get it off to a Rod because I know
you're short on time.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
You let you let me down, Dave Frasier. That's you
let me, your your humble host. You let me down,
all right, Dave, Oh go.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Ahead, I'm gonna give you just a piece of advice.
I heard you at the beginning of the show that
you're coming down with everybody hat you know what's coming,
buckle up. I got it about a month ago, and
that darn thing lasted about.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
A month stopping. Now you are not helping. You're not
helping at all. I don't have time for this. I
don't have time to be sick. I'm just gonna will
myself back into good health. I can do it. I
can do it.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
That's willing go get.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
It all right? All right, Dave Fraser, we'll talk to
you next.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Week, my friend, take care Mandy.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
All right, that is Dave Fraser. We're gonna break a
little bit early right here because we only have a
very short segment. We've got to be done with the
show at twelve fifty four so Rockies can take over.
But good news. I got a lot of stuff on
the blog we haven't even talked about, and I'm gonna
start with a completely gossipy and kind of caddie story

(27:54):
and response, Oh yeah, you're gonna love this one. I'll
do that next keep it right here on KOA. So
a couple of stories that I want to talk about it.
I really went back and forth about whether or not
to talk about this. Ashley Saint Clair's story. And if
you haven't heard this, Elon musk is I believe trying
to just create as many children as he can he's
now on number thirteen. Number thirteen was born by the

(28:17):
fourth woman that he has had children with, and it
was a young woman named Ashley Saint Clair. The only
reason I'm talking about this story, the only reason is
because Ashley Saint Clair is everything that's wrong with women
in one little box. Yep, she apparently because now all

(28:37):
of her former friends are throwing her under the bus
for text messages where she said things like I need
to get his rocket babies in me about Elon Musk,
where she flaunted her relationship with Elon Musk. She at
least slept with him once because now there's a baby,
but apparently she had an ongoing something with him. She's
a young woman in her twenties. She's been described by

(29:00):
people that have known her for a long time as
a climber and as an opportunist, which is why she
has inserted herself into conservative politics, because one thing that
conservative politics loves is a young, attractive woman who says
the right kind of things that they like to hear.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm not saying

(29:21):
you can't be a young and attractive woman and not
be a great conservative. But I just don't think that
this is it. And I think that this is the
kind of woman that Donald Trump was talking about when
he said, because you're rich, you can grab him by
the you know what. Now, what's sad here, what's incredibly
incredibly sad is that now she has a child, Elon

(29:43):
Musk is not even acknowledged that the child is indeed his.
So obviously he's not spending a lot of time. He's
essentially Nick Cannon only white. But when I see this
kind of stuff, and I called her on the blog
a complete gold digger, she truly is. This kind of
stuff infuriates me because it sets women back decades, women

(30:04):
who work their butts off to get ahead. This is
the kind of stuff that is just like, really, that's
what you're gonna do. You're gonna bang your way into
a trust fund, because that's what she did. Now we'll
see if this actually pans out for her. I don't know.
But as Elon Musk has expressed sympathy for the history
of ginghis Khan on Twitter, and why is that important? Well,

(30:28):
sixteen million people alive today are descended from ginghis Khan.
You know why, because he raped and pillaged his way
across the continent. Now, I'm not saying Elon Musk is
raping anybody, because apparently he has plenty of women like
Ashley Saint Clair that we'll be happy to sleep with him.
But this kind of stuff makes me nuts. This is

(30:50):
the kind of stuff that sets women back. I mean,
so so far, so so far and so so so,
just incredibly incredibly irritated by this. And I really shouldn't be,
it's none of my business. But if women don't stand
up and say this is not okay, a lot of
men wouldn't say anything about this because they don't want

(31:13):
to be told, you know, that's not your no, I'll
be the woman to say it. This is the kind
of behavior that basically paints all women like trashy gold diggers.
It really does. And it's super super infuriating, super infuriating. Okay.
A couple of other stories that I want to talk
about that are on the blog today. I mentioned the
Jake Tapper book. I kind of want to read all

(31:35):
of this. I want to read this description from Amazon.
I already read the first paragraph. I'm not going to
read it again. Oh, by the way, totally forgot ay
Rod Dave Fraser sent us the coldest February temperatures. In
February first, nineteen fifty one, we hit minus twenty five degrees,
and on February eighth, nineteen thirty six, we also hit

(31:57):
minus twenty five degrees. So there we go. Yeah, yeah, twice.
Let me read this description. I'm gonna do it in
my best best. You should buy this book. Voice. In
Greek tragedy, the protagonist's effort to avoid his fate is
what seals his fate. In twenty twenty four, American politics
became a Greek tragedy. Joe Biden launched his successful twenty

(32:21):
twenty bid for the White House with the stated goal
of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He,
his family, and his senior aide were so convinced that
only he could beat Trump again they lied to themselves, allies,
and the public about his condition and limitations and his

(32:41):
debate with Trump. On June twenty seventh, twenty twenty four,
the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world.
It was shocking and upsetting. Now the full, unsettling truth
is being told for the first time. Jake Tapper and
Alex Thompson take us behind clear doors and into private

(33:02):
conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the
problem was and how many people knew about it, from
White House staffers at the highest and lowest levels, to
leaders of Congress and the cabinet, from governors to donors
and Hollywood players. The truth is finally being told. What
you will learn makes President Biden's decision to run for

(33:24):
re election seems shockingly narcissistic, self delusional, and reckless, a
desperate bet that went bust, and part of a larger, active,
extended public deception that has few presidents. The story the
authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that

(33:45):
will continue for decades. And now, as a chaser to
that shot, let me play some audio of Jake Tapper
some time ago before he wrote a book of out
covering up for Joe Biden. This is an exchange that
took place on CNN. So here we go is very

(34:09):
clearly a cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It
makes me uncomfortable. You have no think it was so amazing.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
It's so amazing to me.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
That trying to figure out an.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Answer cognitive decline. You can tell me that what I
was suggesting was I think that you were mocking his stutter. Yeah,
I think you were mocking his stutter. And I think
you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
I would think that somebody in the Prump family would
be more sensitive to people who do do not have
medical licenses diagnosing politicians from Afar. Plenty of people have

(34:44):
diagnosed your father from Afar, and I'm sure it offends you.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Sure hope he has a chapter on himself.
