should. mrs. johnson, since the president seems incapable of finding the right words, let me speak for the entire country. we are all sorry for what you are going through. all grief is different, and we cannot imagine how deep and profound yours is. we agree with you that la david, your hoe rehusband, was an awesome soldier, a great man, a great american. we know from what has been written about him that he wanted to be someone great, do great things with his life and he was great, and he did great things. he is a role model to me. when his photos come on the tv screen or i see them in the newspaper, i am so incredibly proud of him and what he accomplished. and to be extremely candid with you and with the world, as a black man i m always looking for role models who look like me and the latest one i found was your husband, la david. may he rest in peace.
say that, here is what the president said about that today. i was really nice to her. i respect her. i respect her family. i certainly respect la david. who i by the way called la david right from the beginning. they put a chart in front. la david. says la david johnson. no hesitation. one of the great memories of all time. no hesitation. i think she s a fantastic woman. i was extremely nice to her. extremely respectful. so his defense on remembering the name is that they put a chart front of him with the name. how could he possibly have failed to mention the name la david johnson? so, i thought right from the beginning no hesitation. one of the great memories of all time. there was no hesitation. i think she s a fantastic woman. i was extremely nice to her. extremely respectful. one of the great memories of all time.
another slow news day. it s crazy. listen but, you know, i started the last broadcast with an open letter to the president. the week started with the second week of fighting with a gold star widow. sergeant la david s widow was on this morning on good morning america. she was asked about the now infamous phone call she had with the president and her claim the president couldn t remember her husband s name. watch this. that made me cry even more because my husband was an awesome soldier. he did what it take people like other soldiers like five years to do in three years. so message so imagine if my husband was here now? it took my husband three years to make e 5. if he was here now, he would be on his way to being e 6 or e 7. my husband had high hopes in a military career. what did you say to the president?
david right from the beginning. just so you understand, they put a chart. la david. says la david johnson. so i called right from the beginning, no hesitation. one of the great memories of all time. no hesitation. moving to politics for a moment. hoped defiant rejection of falsehood, reckless behavior would be a tipping point, but as you can imagine, most members of his party was just another day as president trump tweeted wednesday morning, jeff flake with 18% approval rating in arizona said a lot of my colleague haves spoken out. really, they just gave me a standing o. in interviews yesterday, many of flake and corker s colleagues, some once harsh critics of trump, agreed. the president has his own way of communicating and it s worked. he s getting things done. he s performing. sure he s not the cookie cutter.
but a cold front is going to slip through overnight into wednesday, and that is going to drive the wind speeds back up. gusting to almost 40 miles per hour for santa rosa, around the bay area and there in napa, close to 30. and that s why you see these red flag warnings that go up, almost to the oregon state line. so, redding is included in there. and then you see the numbers as far as humidity goes. and those will be falling, too, especially if you are inland and away from that moist, on-shore flow that will at least be at the beaches in l.a. david? ginger zee with us tonight. ginger, thank you. more from california in a moment, but next tonight, those new bombshell allegations against harvey weinstein. new yorker magazine reporting new claims of sexual harassment, assault and rape. one of his accusers going to police, secretly recording her confrontation with weinstein, but no charges were ever filed. and now hollywood actors gwyneth paltrow and angelina jolie breaking their si
