Host for the next twelve fifty six minutes. You heard me right, folks. It is the first baseball preemption of the year. Wah wah, wah wall And I got a big blog for you today.
But I'm I'm going to do the blog.
But then I'm starting out the show on what they call a downbeat note because some things have been coming out on X that are so horrifying to me that I'm going to make sure you know them too, because everybody needs to know what am I talking about?
Hamas.
But first, let's talk about the blog. Find the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the headline that says two twenty one twenty five blog WELP Baseball season is upon us. Click on that and here are the headlines you will find within an.
Even Where's listen in office?
Half American all with ships and clips as a press plant.
Today on the.
Blog spring training is on in Arizona. When politics keeps you out of a job, there will be a right to work ballot initiative to vote on CSU students protests for safe spaces, the far reaching impacts of the CBI debacle.
I conjured up. Michael Hancock sides.
Are being taken in the pundit class about Ukraine scrolling. If you read nothing else this year, please read this, Hey veterans. Ronald er Oop dang, I gotta take that out. Victor Davis Hansen names the counter revolution net zero by twenty fifty is a complete fantasy. The California high speed rail ripoff is over why the EU sucks In one story, nothing terrifying at all about this. Robot Children's hospital will restart gender affirming care for kids. Kendrick Castillo will never
be forgotten. Sweden is done with mass migration. Hamas set a random body back tgif everybody, Marco Rubio explains why Trump.
Is upset with Zelenski.
And those are the brief headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com to those of you already taking to the Common Spirit health text line with sentiments like this, Mandy, I eight baseball preemption season.
I gotta tell you guys, normally I do too.
It's super frustrating, you know, because and this year, though, I told one of my coworkers yesterday, I'm like, this year I kind of feel like, whoo, I get a breather because.
There's just been so much going on. Speaking of so.
Much going on, I don't have all of this on the blog, but I do have one story on the blog about the bodies that were just returned by Hamas to Israel. And not only were they returned, they were returned after being paraded around with fun music playing, with propaganda on the outside and the inside of the coffins.
But we find out today that the Israeli government has announced that the body that was supposed to be the mother of the two babies that were murdered by Hamas was not actually in the coffin, and the DNA of that body doesn't match any of the hostages. It's just a random dead person that I'm shoved in a casket and gave back.
But that's not even the worst of it. No, oh God, no, that's not the worst of it. Nope.
The worst of it is being is coming out right now. The worst of it is that we now know that Ariel and Kafir Bibas they were not shot when they were murdered. One of them was nine months old, one of them was four years old. I believe when they were murdered, they were strangled to death by Hamas, and then Amas mutilated their bodies after they were dead to make it look like they died some other way.
Who strangles a baby to death? Who kills little who takes little babies hostage? Who does that? You know their war is disgusting? Can we all just agree?
It is honestly the worst of human nature come to life. And yes, I'm one of those people that believes that some wars are justified.
I believe the Civil War was a just war.
It ended a horrific, immoral situation in slavery, and it had to be done because the South wasn't gonna give up their slaves unless they were defeated.
So there can be a moral war.
But the notion that there can be a war that is anything better than the worst parts of humanity being being set out as weapons, I don't know what it is. But even in war, even in Nazi Germany, where they were literally marching Jews into gas chambers before throwing them into mass graves, after taking their hair so they could sell it to use to stuff furniture, even those Germans had enough decency to feel shame. Not Amas, Oh no, no, no,
not Hamas. They amplify everything. They trot out the dead bodies of Arali Israelis, so they're citizens, not Amas soldiers. Their citizens can cheer with delight, delight. It is getting harder and harder and harder to not wish every form of evil on every single Palestinian when you see stories like this, these.
Beautiful little red haired babies and that's how they died. I mean, at least the baby.
You think we don't know, but at least the baby wasn't cognizant enough maybe to realize what was going on. The toddler certainly had an experience at an awareness. But I don't even want to talk about the people in the Palestinian territory who support Hamas, because they still have their supporters. I want to talk about the people in the United States. I want to talk about college students taking to campuses to support people who murder babies.
With their bare hands. What kind of what happened to these people?
What broke them so severely that they would want to align them with the monsters who are committing these atrocities.
And please do not talk to me about Israel's war crimes. Please do not.
Save your breath, because at this point, I am increasingly and this is not a good thing to be. And I talked yesterday about, you know, my internal struggle to be the best person that I can be, and how forgiveness comes into that and all of these other noble and wonderful things. When today I see this and if I could pick up a gun and shoot everyone that was involved in the death of these children, I probably would.
And that's not me, I mean, that's not me.
It's just it's so vile and so disgusting that anyone would march or camp or demand any kind.
Of quote justice for people who do this.
What you know what justice would be if little children strangled all of Hamas to death with their bare hands, that would be justice.
But that's not going to happen.
So as much as we've been talking about Ukraine, as much as we've been talking about you know, that war, can we not forget that this war is still going on. Oh and by the way, four buses blew up yesterday in Tel Aviv.
No one was hurt.
Because honestly, Hamas sucks at warfare. All they do is hide behind people, strangle little babies, and unsuccessfully try to murder mass murder Israelis. There was also a bomb found at a children's water park yesterday, a children's water park.
It didn't go off. I mean, uh uh.
And I didn't mean to like come out of the you know, but I just saw this stuff right before the show started, and it's so disgusting and vile and inhumane, and it makes me just not want to help any Palestinian.
It makes me just want to.
You begin to understand why Egypt doesn't want them, Jordan doesn't want them. Why would you want someone who is capable of this on any level in your can unity. I mean, if you found out that your neighbor down the street murdered a baby with his bare hands because he disagreed with the faith of that person, does that give you comfort? Would you want them in your neighborhood?
Of course not, of course not. And all of those people that say things like the Palestinian people are victimized just as much the Palestinian people voted these people into office.
The Palestinian people civilians we know for.
A fact, for malice ssages kept hostages in their homes. At least in Germany you had Germans who were brave enough to risk their own lives to save the Jews that they knew were going to be murdered if they didn't do anything.
And are you kidding me?
The Palestinian people they line up to clap over the coffins.
I don't understand. I don't know what to do here. I don't know how to fix it. I really don't.
I don't think that there is any hope of the Palestinian people settling peacefully anywhere near Israel.
And I don't think they should be allowed to. If this doesn't disqualify.
It, if this doesn't break people who want to tell me that, oh, no, it's really Israeli aggression that's the problem.
No, it's not.
It's the inhumanity of the monsters and scumbags that are doing things like strangling babies to death with their bare hands.
I don't have.
Anything to say or anything to do for those people. I really don't.
I want them.
All to be completely wiped off the face of the earth in the most painful way possible.
And I'm not really a vengeance person. I'm really not. I mean, I'm really not.
But this is just pushed me beyond my reasonable limits, and I hope it pushes everybody beyond their reasonable limits. That's why I started with this in the show in the first place. I mean, say what you will about Ukraine and Russia being hopelessly corrupt and doing terrible things.
As far as I.
Know, none of them have set about to kidnap little babies so they could strangle them with their bare hands. So at least they're better more than that, right, I mean, hey, hey, maybe I'm missing the mark, maybe I'm too upset, but I just I don't think so. I don't think so. This sexter no wonder why anyone no one wants Palestinians. Exactly exactly, Ralph says, as a NORAD officer, if we launched, we knew children would die, but strangling a baby to death,
we'd have shot anyone who gave that order. I think the college students need to be sanctioned in some way if foreign deport them with prejudice.
No, you know what I think. I think every.
College student should have to be forced to explain why it's okay to strangle a ten month old baby with your bare hands after kidnapping them while you're murdering and raping women and killing people indiscriminately at a music festival.
I would love for them to be able to explain why.
Those actions of resistance are okay, that's what I want to know. Force them to defend it, because they can't. It's indefensible, absolutely indefensible, this texter said. The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia has spoken about what unfolded in Gaza today of Palestinians cheering on the coffins of the bibas and oh dead lift shits. What we saw today in Gaza is a disgrace to Islam, an act of blasphemy
against Allah. The Grand Mufti of Dubai, Ahmed A La Dad reportedly stated after watching the scenes of dead Israeli babies being paraded in coffins in Gaza, Hamas has brought shame to Islam on a level never seen before. Well, I'm glad they're saying it so I don't have to, but I gotta tell you, I'm a lapsed Catholic.
I get it.
But if Catholics were doing this, I would be at the front of the parade to denounce everything they were doing. So yeah, there you go, there you go. Anyway, what's other fun stuff We're gonna talk to send the students to live there.
Says this texter.
Yeah, that would be an eye opening experience, wouldn't it, wouldn't it Coming up at twelve thirty, Jimmy Segenberger wrote a column today. I am doing everything in my power, and I think I'm not going to speak for Jimmy
because he'll be able to speak for himself. I'm doing everything in my power to keep maximum pressure on jeff Co schools because if you're a jeff Co parent and you are not paying attention to what an absolute disaster your school district has become, then I'm going to keep shoving it down your throat until you pay attention and show up at every school board meeting because what is happening in that.
District is just First of all, we had a teacher that successfully.
Groomed a student who, at the age of eighteen, she moved out of state after the school helped her commit fraud on FAFSA applications by declaring her homeless when she was not at all homeless, not at all, and.
Then blew off parents who were concerned about it. Just blew it off.
No, it's no big deal, she's not here anymore. We don't need to worry about that, And today we've got a story that's completely different but totally on brand. A band with decades of teaching experience was trying to get hired at jeff Co for a part time online position. Everything was going great, everything was fantastic. He essentially got everything but an offer. It was essentially hey, called me back, will work out the details kind of.
Thing, and then he got ghosted.
Why because they realized that he had done Freedom of Information Act requests to find out which teachers walked out in jeff Co and they didn't give him the job. Kenny Sue, that's where it gets interesting. He's just a white man, so you can answer the rest of the question. But Jimmy wrote a great column on it today and the Denver Gazette.
We're going to talk to him.
At twelve thirty, and I have a bunch of other stuff on the blog today. Speaking of college students, I'm doing a three hour show in one hour, just in case you hadn't noticed, because I got a three hour show and I have an hour to do it. So there was a story CSU students protest for safe Spaces, and I just realized that I did not link to the actual story. What they were actually protesting was that CSUS committee to follow federal eat and.
Do away with DEI programs.
Now DEI programs focus on division instead of unity, and as a federally funded university, CSU had no real alternative. These programs are garbage, by the way, They're absolute garbage.
But this is the line that caught my eye.
Ellis Smith, a student organizer, spoke about the significance of these programs for CSU's campus culture, and this is a quote.
These programs are.
Important because they help ensure that students are able to find spaces where they feel safe before they graduate. College is not where you go to find a space where you feel safe before you graduate, because you.
Know what happens after you graduate.
You go and you work for somebody who may or may not give a crap about your feelings. You're going to go into a corporate environment where they don't.
Need to hear that you're having a mental health problem. They just want you to show up and work. We have coddled the kids so severely that it is absolutely insane what passes for maturity at the college level. And here's the thing.
I think some of these students were probably more mature before they got to college then after they got there.
Oh this text message.
If roasting infants alive doesn't move these college morons, nothing will do. You know what I saw on X and where, of course we're talking about hamas in the attacks of October seventh. So when it was discovered that babies were put into ovens and roasted alive, which actually happened, somebody sent out like like dozens of babies were roasted alive, when in reality, I think it was maybe one or.
Two that lie.
That misstep, that exaggeration gives all of these idiot students the ability to say that wasn't true, even though it was true for a couple of babies, just not forty babies. And that's absolutely infuriating. Force the students to listen to baseball. Well, that wouldn't be such punishment because Jack and Jerry do do a very good job along.
With my friend Jesse Thomas Mandy nine month old baby.
When the word's been going on for fifteen months, that baby was born into a hostage situation. Poor baby was never free. Set No, the baby was nine months old when it was murdered. After it was kidnapped.
So yeah, yeah, Mandy.
I don't like Rockies. Baseball sometimes cuts into your show. But sure, glad we're turning a corner on our way to spring. But are we really?
Winter is just messing with us at this point.
I just got finished helping Chuck shovel the driveway and everything.
I was just like, Oh, what is this gonna be over? What is this gonna be over? Let me continue. A lot of people are pointing.
Out about abortion, and you know what, guys, I don't feel the need to bring abortion into every argument because what I'm talking about is is even worse than abortion, I think even worse.
So I appreciate it. I've got one texter.
All he cares about is abortion, all all he cares about, and everything comes back to that, and it's exhausting and it's not helpful.
And you can stop anytime, sir. Remember a couple.
Days ago, and I think it was a couple of days ago or yesterday, even when I was like, whatever happened to Mayor Michael Hancock. I'd love to talk to Mayor Michael Hancock again. I enjoyed our visits. You know, we didn't agree on a lot, but he always came on the show and we had a good conversation, and you guys would get so mad because I, you know, I wouldn't, you know, press him to the wall about stuff that we disagreed on.
But I always liked talking to him.
Well, today in the Denver Gzette, here we go call him by Michael Hancock, and I was like, oh my gosh, my my psychic powers are strong. I mean, I'm just letting you know, but he wrote a really good column and I want to talk to him. So again I'm still looking for his contact information. Now I do have, I have a connection. I'm going to reach out to
today and see if I can get him. He's part of the Aurora Consent to Creed Monitors Community Advisory Council, and he wrote a column about and he doesn't say it like this, but he's basically saying, look, this Community Advisory Council had a very specific role and that was to basically be a conduit of information between the department
and the citizens, and the citizens and the department. But it seems to me from this column that some members of the CAAC are trying to politicize it and use it as an advocacy organization when that is not at all what.
It was meant to do. So that's a great column by Michael Hancock on the blog today.
And when we get back, we're going to talk a little bit. We're going to talk to Jimmy Sangenberger first, but after we talked to Jimmy, there's very interesting stuff going on about Ukraine and how Republicans are sort of falling on both.
Sides of the issue.
But you know what's happening, there's some incredible debates going on right now. Some of them are happening on X jd Vance. I just want to take a moment here. Jd Vance is better at explaining Trump's policies than Donald Trump is, and he's kind of been a in a Twitter battle with Nile Ferguson, a historian that I love. I love non Ferguson. I think he's amazing.
But they've been.
Going back and forth and it's it's fascinating because instead of just you know, arguing into the ether or yelling at each other, they're going there's substantial points being made.
It's been super fascinating.
So we're gonna get into that, but first we're gonna talk to Jimmy Singenberger right after this.
Keep it on KOA and I never have a short day on Friday. I forgot to do this at the beginning in the show altogether. Now, whoa, that's right, My bad, Sorry, I forgot about that.
So joining me now, my friend Jimmy Singenberger is joining me to talk about a story that is one of those things where you're like, you just.
Kind of get the ick a little bit about it.
But I'm gonna let Jimmy unfurl the sad tale of Kyle Walpole.
At jeff Co Schools. What happened?
Jimmy, Hey, Mandy, thanks for having me. This is one of those things where you hear about discrimination based on politics.
We hear it happening in the school system.
Here and there, and then you wonder is it actually happening in a way that you can demonstrate? And I think Kyle Walpole might be in that circumstance. He is a twenty year veteran even longer than that, educator in Jefferson County Schools and the Platte Canyon School District, and he applied last fall for a temporary position as a social studies teacher at Jefferson Virtual Academy, an online school for Jefferson County schools, and it seemed on the up
and up. In mid November, he seemingly nailed his interview, had two performance tasks he's completed, and he got a call at about one thirty pm from the principal of the school, Renee Williams, on November fifteenth, saying, Hey, give me a call.
I really loved your interview. I'd like to talk with you about it.
And then he ended up not getting a call back when he returned to her.
Call an hour and fifteen minutes later.
And it seems that that was because two emails were circulated showing that in twenty fourteen, when teachers walk out of Jeffco's schools in protests of what was then a conservative school board, he had sought the names of the teachers from his daughter's school using an Open Records Act request, And then several years later he published an obed that was critical of HOWDI was being implemented in Colorado schools, and those emails were circulated, and then after that boom,
he did not get the job, and eventually they canceled the position and claimed, oh that's why you didn't get it, even though the position was canceled weeks after.
They told him, we're pursuing other candid you know.
And this is the kind of stuff that I know there and I'm trying to think of a way to not make this about me, but it's it fits here. There have been situations where I have no that I was invited to be on a board. For instance, and I'm not going to name any names because I still like the organizations and the work that they do, but I was invited to be on a board. There was this big email like, oh, we'd love to have you
come in and talk to us and everything. So I respond back, Oh, I love what you do, blah blah blah, And then I got one email back that didn't have the whole group, the whole board on it, right. I got one email back saying, oh, I'm so sorry, we sent that to you an error, okay, And I thought, okay,
that's weird, but okay, no big deal. Found out from the other another board member who had suggested me as a potential member of the board that three of the other board members threw an absolute conniption fit because of my political views and therefore I was iced out.
But what am I gonna do?
Right?
I still like the organization's work.
You know, I'm not gonna let three people who are ales stop me from supporting somebody who's doing good work. But yeah, this stuff happens all the time. Now here's the problem for Kyle. Kyle, unfortunately, is a white, straight male. If he were gay, or he were black, or he were Hispanic, he would he would be able to sue.
I mean, when you think about the former superintendent of Douglas County suing about losing his job because he said he was discriminated against racially because he was advocating for black students, I mean, it was so absurd. But the reality is white males don't have any protection.
Yeah, this is this is the thing that they said is you're not part of a protected class. At least that was what was said in an email to the investigator. From the investigator to the school principal. Don't worry, good news.
He isn't word good news. He's not part of a protected class, So you don't have to worry about this.
But what's really interesting, Mandy is that Kyle and a friend of his who's an attorney emailed and had exchanges
with the school district's general council Julie Tolison. And it's fascinating because when I reached out to Toulisen ask some questions for my column in the Denver Gazette Today entitled that one Jeff Go School Conservatives need not apply, she responded in part suggesting that I go look at the email correspondence between Kyle Lopol's attorney friend William Iigols, and her, and that did not support her case at all, and it showed that either she was playing coy or she
didn't do her homework to actually look at the facts and the timeline of events, which I clearly lay out in my piece that demonstrate, yeah, there is an op at the very least appearance, if not pretty darn definitive, that politics were at play here and there's no place for that in our school system.
And jeff Co is being run like garbage. They're being run like hot garbage. The president of their school board believes that every parent is abusing their child and that every child needs to be told how to report their abuse, even if it's just neglick. Can you imagine, let me just say this Jimmy, you don't have kids yet. Okay, let me just tell you what would happen if you empower children to say that they're being neglected anytime you say no, you can't have dessert. The next day they
go to school, my mom would give me food. I mean, children understand how to manipulate the system, even if they don't understand the repercussions of that manipulation, right, I mean, that's just the facts. Anybody who's ever been a child of divorced parents knows, you.
Know how to manipulate the system. You know what I'm saying.
You know how to play one parent against the other. And they've they've got to be some changes in jeff Co. Tracy Dooland has to go. She has to go.
The superintendent of schools is terrible. She encourages just.
Putting the school district between parents and children over and over again. She's probably excited that Kyle didn't get this job. In Kyle's last name Texters Walpole. And you can see this in Jimmy's column about this, But the entire district is going down the crapper.
One thing I want to know that I found really impressive when I was talking with Kyle about this story and doing my research is he was a teacher for over two decades and clearly has a belief that politics have no place in the classroom.
He gave a story and I loved this.
My favorite teachers were this way where he had parent teacher conference and that evening, two parents, parents of parents came in one after the other. First said, you're too liberal, what's going on? The next, you're too conservative? What's going on?
And that's exactly what it should be.
Were keep the students and the families guessing because you're truly not being political.
And yet that is the kind.
Of teacher that Jefferson County Schools had frozen out of one of their schools for political purposes because he dared to work with the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, not a conservative group by the way, to identify who these teachers were as was and this color Supreme Court I think affirmed this as is the right of the public to know when you have teachers walking out from the school for protest, the public has the right to know.
And that's the reason one of the big reasons why they went after this conservative teacher.
At least that's what clearly appears to be the case, and.
We'll see what happens if he does have a retaliation claim move forward in court.
We shall see.
Jimmy Seenberger's column is that the Denver is at today as a twice weekly column that is always good reading because I'm not even aware of anybody in the newspaper field that's doing the kind of investigative stuff that you are, Jimmy. I mean, and part of that is because you're an independent guy and independent contractors, so you can go out there and dig into the stories that you like.
But like I said, I want to keep the pressure on Jeffco.
And it's really really important that Jeffco's parents wake up and start showing up and demand better and more importantly, And I'm hoping, and I don't know if you've talked to anyone at Jeffco Kids first about this, I hope they're getting candidates ready to run for school board. I hope they have people that we can support and give money to and get some decent people back on that school board. When I first moved here, Jeffco Schools was
they were great. They were absolutely fantastic. And then to your point back in twenty fourteen, the unions came in and they decided to put their little people on the school board. And now here's where we are anyway. All right, Jimmy, I appreciate you, man, and a great colin. We'll talk to you again soon. That's Jimmy Sangerburgo. Everybody say you Jimmy.
Let's take a quick time out when we get back.
Fascinating discussions about Ukraine and the United States' role in are happening within the Republican Party, and I got to tell you I love it.
We're going to talk about that next for a couple of minutes.
I don't have a lot of time left because Rockies Baseball coming up at one.
It's the first of our spring training games we do.
We will not be airing all of them, but we will be airing some of them, and today's the first one of that. Great I'm just gonna say it, great blog today by me. If I could pat myself on the back, I would. There's a fascinating thing happening on the right right now, and it has to do with Ukraine, and it has to do with some other stuff too. People are starting to stick their heads up a little bit. I saw one member of Congress saying, you know, we're
a little tired of these executive orders. And I'm like, you're in Congress, do something about it, you know, start doing this stuff yourself.
But the biggest.
Discussions and arguments have been about Donald Trump's treatment of Ukraine, and it's been fascinating to.
Watch and very educational.
At the same time, Mark Levin went scorched Earth on Trump's comments on ze Lenz yesterday and he went to great links to talk about the fact that Zelensky He sort of responded to those Zelensky was a dictator comments by saying this Zelensky ordered martial law. That's what the constitution they're compelled. Zelensky hasn't called for an election, That's what the constitution there compels. Now I'm waiting for the
first free election for Vladimir Putin. I mean, this is almost comical in a sick way that Putin is demanding an election and.
Then he goes on from there.
Now, Ferguson decided to drag George H. W. Bush into the fray on X and JD. Vance responded in force and I have links to all of this on today's blog. It is worth going through and just reading the discussion between JD. Vance and Nile Ferguson, which went on well after the tweets that I've embedded. But then right before the show started, I saw this and Mark Rubio is explaining here why Donald Trump is not exactly thrilled with Zelensky.
Just listen to this explanation. It's a couple minutes long.
When President Trump posts that President Zelensky is a dictator without elections, what are you thinking.
I think President Trump is very upset at President Zelensky in some case rightfully. So look, number one, Joe Biden had frustrations with Zelensky. People shouldn't forget that there are newspaper articles out there about how.
He cursed at him in a phone call.
Because Lelensky, instead of saying thank you for all your help, is immediately out there messaging what we're not doing or what he's not getting. I think the second thing is, frankly, I was personally very upset because we had a conversation with President Zelenski, the Vice President and I to two three of us, and we discussed this issue about the mineral rights, and we explained to them, look, we.
Want to be a joint venture with you.
Not because we're trying to steal from your country, but because we think that's actually a security guarantee. If we're your partner in an important economic endeavor, we get to get paid back some of the money the taxpayers have given close to two hundred billion dollars. And it also now we have a vested interest in the security of Ukraine. And he said, sure, we want to do this deal. It makes all the sense in the world. The only thing is I need to run it through my legislative process.
They have to approve it.
I read two days later that Zelensky's out there saying I rejected the deal. I told him no way, that we're not doing that. Well, that's not what happened in that meeting. So you start to get upset by somebody. We're trying to help these guys. One of the points that President made in his messaging is not that we don't care about Ukraine. But Ukraine is on another continent. You know, it doesn't directly impact the daily lives of Americans.
We care about it because it has implications for our allies and ultimately for the world.
There should be some level of gratitude here.
About this, and when you don't see it, and you see him out there accusing the president of living in a world of disinformation, that's highly, very counterproductive. And I don't need to explain to you or anybody else. Donald Trump's not President Trump's not the kind of person that's going to sit there and take that. He's very transparent. You've got to tell you exactly how he feels. And he sent the message that he's not going to get
gained here. He's willing to work on peace because he cares about Ukraine and he hopes Zelensky will be a partner in that and not someone who's out there putting the sort of counter messaging to try to, you know, hustle us in that regard that that's not going to be productive here.
What's interesting about his comments is that yesterday and the day before I saw a lot of very angry people online saying the United States is trying to shake down
Ukraine to take their rare earth minerals. Well, when you hear it explained by Marco Rubio as look, we want to partner with you to give us a vested interest going forward that would only increase your security, that makes a lot more sense rather than what Zelensky came out and said, which was they demanded our rare earth minerals and I said no. By the way, Europeans are also questioning whether or not Zelensky can be trusted. You know, I don't think there's any really good people in this war.
I think Vladimir Putin is a dictator and authoritarian. I think he's awful. I don't think Zelensky is a good person either, especially when you are relying on another nation to fund about sixty five percent of the war you're currently in, and then you're going around and stabbing them in the back after you have a conversation. That's easily behavior, and honestly, it just makes me think that Zelenski thinks he's still dealing.
With Joe Biden, which clearly he is not.
All Right, my friends, I got to turn the station over to Rockies Baseball. Spring training is upon us, and we have to make room for that in the meantime, though, definitely keep it right here on KOA
