happy as they enter the stadium because they know they have made it. they don t all leave that way but rarely is it, mayor, where you can find so much joy in one place and i really think that emotion helps to drive the event itself. enjoy. we are feeling very joyous in cincinnati and excited. this team has us hoping, dreaming and believing. i m so grateful again that the team has galvanized our community and city. bill: what have the people in l.a. said? are they confident, cocky saying thank goodness it is cincinnati not kansas city? this bengals team is ahead of schedule. before the season started it was to win six games. we have shocked the world. we keep proving the haters wrong. with all due respect to l.a.
dana: i m not buying it. let s ignore the part that makes you faster and better. bill: so the facts appears to be she tested positive in december. i don t know if a lot of people knew about that. since she has been in beijing she tested negative apparently. but once again we have china and weird labs getting results back. this was i believe in switzerland. they didn t get the results for february 8. no reason to pull her because they didn t get the official results although apparently the russian olympic committee, roc, sounds like a cool place to go on vacation, they knew about it. dana: of course they did. russia never seems to pay a price for anything and they always come back and ask for more. can we talk about what s on everybody s mind at the table? first of all this is emotional. let me get my bill hemmer on. now ask me the question. dana: how is the super bowl going to go this weekend?
month for the things they need. federal government may be slow to act. anything you as a governor want to do to bring down prices in your state? first federally i think what they need to do is dana: i bet he had a great answer. i don t know how we lost that. we ll try to get him back. he is a really interesting governor. bill: 7:00 in the morning out there. we ll give the satellite operators a break on this and try to reestablish the connection. dana: we wanted to talk to him about inflation but the other reason is he was a leader early on an covid and trying to figure out a way to get his state back to normal. i have family members there who think he has done a good job of vaccination rates and letting people make their own decision. bill: what i would say about that it took guts, too. democratic governor in the american west. he said the emergency is over in december. he said our vaccination rates are going great so why do you need to continue with the masks
one of the librarians found it. they put it in the lie bear. library. did you sign up for a book? dana: you did at some point. books on the wait list? bill: we had a pretty good library. it seemed to me like they were always available. maybe i just didn t read enough. dana: my mom used to get annoyed. you could only check out five or seven books at a time and i would read two before we got home and she is like oh, i had to read books over and over again. bill: we had a good library. what he said was he wanted to do a book since he was age 5. now he is only 8 and has done it. the library gave him an award for the best young novelist. they created that category for him. you have a lot to be proud of. you can hear us, probably not
let s get to the meat of it. john tester with david axelrod. i don t think the democratic party can be a majority party unless we appeal to middle america. the area between the two fringes. the appalachians and rocky mountains. if we re able to do that i think we ll provide success. bill: sounds like a clarion call on a four-alarm fire. josh, how do you hear it? bill, the reality is that the democratic party has all but given up on trying to persuade rural voters and john tester is something of a political unicorn in the democratic party. democrats thought they could win so heavily with suburban and urban voters they would have to new democratic coalition.
