It's Friday, January 16th.
I'm Jane Kostin, and this is Water Day,
the show that is simply noting a man on threads who appears to have trained crows to attack red hats.
See, crows are incredibly intelligent.
They can even hold grudges and remember human faces for years.
So training them to be able to swoop and grab a red hat from someone's head was a bit of a process,
but it appears to have been very successful.
And why red hats in particular?
No reason.
No reason at all.
On today's show, President Donald Trump reveals his great health care plan.
That's not sarcasm, it's literally called the Great Health Care Plan.
And what's long, boring, and often ends in stalemate?
No, I'm not talking about Congress, I'm talking about soccer.
But let's start with conservatism and the American right.
President Trump is declining a popularity with voters,
but his rhetoric and that of the Trump administration is only growing more extreme.
But to understand how we got here, in this place, we have to go backwards.
To the Reagan administration.
The 1980s were the heyday of a very particular kind of conservatism.
