So one of my favorite stories, we'll do this, and then we'll get to animals in the news this week, because we've had big-time animal stories in the news this week. But one of my favorite stories is the North Korean story, where American tourist Otto Warmbier 21, a university, of Virginia undergraduate. Sentenced to 15 years. 15 years for taking a banner. Right?

Now, some of you are all wound up, thinking that it's, you know, hey, it's punishment not fitting to the crime. Some of you are saying that, hey, what is this Dingleberry thinking? he claimed before that it was taking it as a, I think the original thing I saw was that he was taking it for a friend's mom or something. He just wanted it for a knick-knack.

The trial was, you know, a whole hour long in North Korea. Now, the United States has said, hey, what are you doing? personally I think it's unbelievably stupid that we have allowed North Korea to do this to one of our citizens but this is proof why we need a strong president

like I don't know for example just as an example off the top of my head Ted Cruz but many of you my favorite my favorite post on Otto was So the term dip crap comes to mind.

What and who is informing these idiots in our universities? We should extradite his professors and parents to North Korea to serve as accomplices to his stupidity. I kind of agree with that. You're in North Korea. Okay? You're in North Korea. You know what? I'm going to steal something.

Huh? Nobody will ever know. And if I get caught, what are they going to do? In America, they'd slap my hand, and I would just go back to class. Not in North Korea. Now, Otto, a 21-year-old university of Virginia student, 15 years. hard labor. After being sentenced,

he had a little bit of an idea of how he felt and what a stupid thing it was that he did. My brother and my sister me. I beg that you see how

I am only human. How I have made the worst mistake of my life. Uh-huh. In his tearful statement made before his trial, guy is just a cry baby he's told reporters he was offered a used car worth $10,000 if he could get a propaganda banner and was also told that if he was detained and didn't return 200,000 would be

paid to his mother in the form of a charitable donation so his mother gets 200 grand for 15 years maybe now that it's out see he heard hey I'm going to get this is this goes back to my Botox He heard, we'll give you a used car for $10,000 for a propaganda banner. Yeah, I'm going to do that. He didn't hear, hey, but if you happen to be detained and you can't return because they throw you in prison for 15 years, I'll give your mom a couple hundred thousand. Maybe you'll be in prison. You'll never know.

He didn't hear that. All he heard was, hey, I'll give you a used car worth $10,000 if you get a propaganda banner. Good for you, Otto. Good for you. All right. Animal stories in the news. First, we have good news. The circus has stopped using, is going to stop using elephants.

Well, new African elephants have arrived at the Dallas Zoo. They flew them in, travel them down the road. Happy, happy, happy. 17 African elephants arrived in the U.S. last week. 17. Five of those go to the Dallas Zoo. The other 12 will be split evenly between Omaha's Henry Doerly Zoo and Aquarium and Wichita's Sedgwick County Zoo. But hey, the circus.

No, no, no, no, no, no. But you get to go see him in the zoo, no problem. It was sad news at the Fort Worth Zoo here in the Metroplex. We had a big hail storm the other night. And it's such a weird phenomenon here. The hail, it's, you know, it's like it's hailing over there and here there's nothing. There's no rain. It's maybe a little bit of wind.

But a hailstorm killed several animals at the zoo, so they were all bummed out because birds that came in to do their job. And what happened to those animals? I don't know. They're dead. And we had sad news. from SeaWorld. They're trying to catch up with the circus. People can still go to the zoo and see animals,

but they can't go to attractions. They can't go to attractions. That's why the circus is getting rid of their... I still am a little miffed at the circus for getting rid of the elephants. And now I'm going to be miffed at SeaWorld. When you go to SeaWorld, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'll see all the dolphins and you'll go and you'll see the fishies and you'll have your little ice cream bar shaped like a whale.

You have to have the ice cream bar shaped like a whale. It's a must. Just say it. And you walk around is beautiful and you ride a couple rides. But the big attraction is seeing the whales. It's the whales. We want to see them jump out of the water. We want to see them splash to people.

We want to be in the splash zone. That's what we're there for. We're not there to sit in the stands in the whale tank and watch them swim around underneath the water and once in a while see their blowhole out of the water. And we want to see them jump out of the water and have the trainer ride them. We want that.

Not anymore. SeaWorld said, it's ending the controversial captive breeding program for orcas. It's controversial? Oh, yes, that's right, because of a movie that was wrong. The killer whales currently in its care will be the last generation of orcas at SeaWorld. The company said it's ending all orca breeding as of today. Officially putting an end to practiced animal rights activists have called inhumane. It's already been prohibited by officials in California. See, come on. Society is changing and we're changing with it. You're going to change with the SeaWorld right out of business.

Now, they came under fire because of the stupid, and they're calling it a documentary. It is, it's not a documentary. It's an opinionary. Blackfish. With spotlighted the animal's living conditions and the dangers posed to their handlers. Yeah, yeah, they're dangerous. People do stuff all the time on their jobs that are dangerous. That's what they get paid for.

The company's CEO resigned in December. after months of declining revenue. If you think it's declining now, I wonder why it's declined in California. You get into the Arcus. I know it's a claim we get rid of the Arcus at SeaWorld and I wonder, wonder, what's going to happen when they don't have the whale shows anymore? Huh.

This announcement reaffirms our commitment to not collect marine mammals from the wild. After all, we haven't collected an orca from the wild in almost 40 years, and the Orcas at SeaWorld were either born here or have spent almost their entire lives in human care. Huh. Huh. The CEO of the Humane Society. Today's announcement signals that the era of captive display of orcas will end

and that SeaWorld will redouble its work around rescue and rehabilitation of marine mammals in crisis and partner with us to tackle global threats to marine creatures. Remember where a humane society gets their money? Donations and donations and... Oh, yeah, the government. I'll double-check that, though, because I'm sure the Humane Society will fact-check me and say, we don't get any of our money from the government.

Our money comes in all donations. You lied. So, if I'm wrong, I apologize. But I'm willing to bet they get government money. Places like the Humane Society, usually, all do. And my favorite animal story of the week, Exploding Beaver Exhibit. Now I could go and read the story.

And I did, knowing that it would ruin everything in my life because I was just wanted to be happy with the headline Exploding Beaver Exhibit. So I'm not going to read the story or tell you what the story is. I just want you to lay back, take a sip of coffee, take another drag off that cigarette, and think to yourself, this week there was an exploding beaver exhibit.
