It's Wednesday, July 16th, I'm Jane Costen, and this is What A Day,
the show saluting former University of Kentucky wide receiver Scott Mitchell,
who ran down an attempted arsonist in Runyon Canyon in West Hollywood and prevented what could have been a truly devastating fire.
That is, in my view, some truly heroic shit.
On today's show, the House joins in on the Jeffrey Epstein discourse.
And former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz testifies at a Senate confirmation hearing to be U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations.
Because we got rid of accountability a long time ago.
But let's start with foreign policy.
Because we love good things.
And sadly, no good things are happening.
Take Russia's war against Ukraine.
You know, the one President Donald Trump said he would end on day one and then,
some 180 days later, still hasn't.
The reason the war is still ongoing couldn't possibly have anything to do with Trump's decision to spend months trying to cozy up to Russian President Vladimir Putin,
a dictator who's had no issue sending hundreds of thousands of his own citizens to die in the meat grinder of war,
a war he started to achieve his vision of making the Soviet Union great again.
Nope, Trump spent Tuesday insisting this was all still former President Joe Biden's fault.
I think really the question should be asked, why did Biden get us into that ridiculous war?
Why did Biden bring us there?
