In case you missed it, Mike Crocker with the Dickerson Park Zoo joined us this morning as our ABC Books Author of the Week!

As President Biden condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine and publicly threatens Moscow with escalating punitive measures, his administration is quietly collaborating with the Russians to revive the Iran nuclear deal and undermine future U.S. presidents who might withdraw from it, according to experts and former U.S. officials.

Intercepted ballots, forged signatures and questionably high voting rates plagued Wisconsin’s nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the 2020 presidential election, a state-appointed investigator said.

About the book: 

“I pulled the croc back to me and bear-hugged him to my body. He was around seventy pounds and about all I could manage by myself.”

“I was moving a Burmese python when it struck me…The snake coiled rapidly around my hand and leg.”

Read these and more crazy animal stories in True Tales from Dickerson Park Zoo: There’s a Crocodile in the Bathtub! by Dickerson Park Zoo director Mike Crocker.

Published by a local company, Pages and Pie Publishing, True Tales from Dickerson Park Zoo is a creative non-fiction collection of stories based on Crocker’s lifetime fascination with animals and 45+ years with Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Missouri.

Passionate about saving species, Crocker shares not only about the wild and often dangerous world of working with animals, but he also elaborates on how far animal husbandry and Dickerson Park Zoo have come.

“The stories in True Tales from Dickerson Park Zoo provide a peek behind Mike’s steady, quiet demeanor and lets the readers see the moments, decisions and ultimately, the love and joy it takes to lead a world-class, and perhaps even more importantly, locally appreciated zoo.” Daniel Hilliard, Ph.D. Executive Director, Zoo Conservation Outreach Group (ZCOG)

True Tales from Dickerson Park Zoo is available in paperback and hard cover at barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com. It will also be available in the Safari Trading Company gift shop at Dickerson Park Zoo and ABC Books, 2109 N. Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, Missouri.

Hour 1 - 

Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was mocked on social media after pointing out that President Biden was the vice-president the last time Russia decided to invade Ukraine.

The Mayor of Kherson, Igor Kolykhaev, urged Russian troops not to shoot civilians. "I simply asked them not to shoot at people," he said. He also asked them to allow them to collect the bodies from the streets.

Texas Rep. Michael McCaul said that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump was still in office.

VP Harris struggled through a series of morning talk shows Wednesday as she tried to defend President Biden's administration.

Harris spoke with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, and Guthrie pressed her on whether or not the administration needed to change tactics in dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “So what else do we have to throw at this when Putin so far is undeterred?” Guthrie asked. “Well, we are going to continue to do what we’ve done,” Harris replied.

Hour 3 - 

Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

Nick plays audio of the end of the State of the Union.

President Biden, in the closing comments of his State of the Union speech to Congress, says "Go get him." Who? What?

VP Harris faced mockery online over an explanation that she gave on the radio about Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.

Harris explained the invasion like this, “So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong.”

Sam Elliot is no fan of Netflix’s Oscar-nominated The Power of the Dog and isn’t afraid to say it, calling the movie a “piece of s**t.”

Nick's sister, Ashley, is currently in a contest to be the next Inked Magazine Cover Girl. If she wins, she will get prize money that she will use to open her very own photography studio. If you could please vote for her, Nick and Ashley would appreciate it greatly! You can vote by clicking here.

Biden also spoke about helping soldiers who came home sick from Iraq and Afghanistan because of toxic burn pits and the cancers that would one day put them in a "flag-draped coffin." Rep. Lauren Boebert yelled at Biden from the audience: "You put them in, 13 of them," in reference to the 13 flag-draped coffins that came home from Afghanistan after the deadly and chaotic U.S. withdrawal.
