  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garren. All right, well, it's sort
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of a post mortem Monday because of what just happened
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: over the weekend with the Saint John's red storm, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: really quick on that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't make the basket under the hoop.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I mean it was about sixty two sixty Arkansas and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: we wanted all fried Kyla Pari right, that was the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: post headline, and yet they just couldn't do it. Now,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why r. J. Lewis was on the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: bench for the five minute stretch. Some say it was
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: his bench because of his poor play, poor behavior on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the court. I still think you should have played him.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He's the biggest player of the year for a reason.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But I digress. Patino sort of want to send a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: message to the kid, and maybe that'll pay off in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the loan run. Look, this is the first step. They
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: won the first tournament game in twenty five ye that's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a first, and they gave Saint John's kIPS at Saint
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Jed's and Saint John's alumni and friends of Saint John's.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: A big hope.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And I think they can run with that hope with
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: some more recruiting and maybe a little more NIL funding.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I know he talks about how this team was built
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: on character, not funding, but maybe they do need a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: little of that boost in addition to mic Repolice, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: rolling a bank rolling.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Of the team.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So that being said, there are a couple other stories
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about that I found out this weekend. Firstly,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: did you hear what the State Department is doing? I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: mean this was unbelievable. In addition to the trub administration
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: possibly closing down this Department of Education, which I don't understand,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the DC Examiner has said that there were cuts to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the State Department.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Funding funding the.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Programming which would help.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Track abducted Ukrainian children brought to Russia.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: This is a real story, folks. Tammy Bruce, the department's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: top spokesperson spokeswoman, indicated reporters of the program. Yale's School
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of Public Health Humanitarian Research Lab was not aligned with
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the administration's foreign policy plans and was cut. So Yale
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: School of Public Health Research Humanitarian Research Lab was literally
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: tracking tens of thousands of Ukrainian kids who had been
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: inducted from their homes and taken to Russia and the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: DC Examiner reports, well, that funding was cut because the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: administration's foreign policy and Yale's School Public Health Umanitarian Research
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: was not aligned. I did not realize Russian forces have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: kidnapped more than nineteen thousand kids from Ukraine, some of
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: whom were orphaned during the war and brought back to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Russia to be given him and only about twelve hundred returned.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Trumministration Elon and I don't blame Rubio for this, really,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: but Secretary of Saint Rubio reinstate that funding. While we
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: do want to eliminate government waste, right, we have to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be careful that the cutting doesn't affect everything.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I I wish this.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Government cutting that seems to be going on, or the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: metromanization is going on, would be as precise as he
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is when he fires at uh Syrian militant terrorist Bass.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, the air strikes are always so precise. Why
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: can't they be as precise with the funding cuts and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: truly analyze what should and shouldn't be kept. I mean,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: this day, this, this Yale Humanitarian Research lab, above all
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: house was protecting Ukrainian kids. Isn't that what we wanna see?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But because all of these things are quote unquote non aligned.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: They're getting the chopping block, and I just I don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: agree with it. And I think advocating for the return
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of this funding and returning of other funding for grants
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and whatnot is needed, is needed. So we'll keep up
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: at it at that on the One Leg Up Network
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Alex Garrett here, and then this looks like eggs are
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: not American laid anymore. A report out this weekend saying
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that eggs will be imported, Yes, imported from Turkey and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: South Korea, according to the BBC and other outlets. A
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: burbloem pandemic also a reason for this, has caused the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Tumametician to import eggs from Turkey and South Korea and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: other countries in hopes of using all time high prices
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: for the American consumer. Now, it's true, avian flu has
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: been rampant. It's caused closure of a few poultry shops
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: here in New York City along and Agricultural Secretary Brook
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Rowlins says, we are talking in the hundreds of millions
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of eggs for the short term. It will be a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: one billion plan as well to combat a raging bird
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: flu pandemic which is forced US formers to cut to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: call tens of millions of chickens. Cost of eggs is
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: projected to surge by forty one percent of twenty twenty five.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So all that to say, it's a really bad situation
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: when eggs eggs have to be imported from other countries.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And maybe it's a warning sign to get this bird
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: flu epidemic under control so that we can bring down
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the prices of eggs. But it's true, m our eggs
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: may no longer be for a while American maid or
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: American lake. And if that helps us have one leg
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: up on our economy to fix it, so be it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But hopefully for the bird's sake and for our sakes,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we can get it under control. A malex grit. That's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it for now on the One Leg Up Network. We'll
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: talk to you soon.
