Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio, we made it better. First
- 0:06Speaker 1: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chalk Media Network.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Jewort's aid steal me please for work.
- 0:16Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoop
- 0:23Speaker 3: all the Jases needs no one that Joe's smile.
- 0:28Speaker 4: He only as.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
- 0:36Speaker 2: you this morning. Sam Dorman is on with us from
- 0:41Speaker 2: the Epic Times, uh the Epic Times dot com covering
- 0:46Speaker 2: Supreme Court for them. And before we get into other stuff, Sam,
- 0:50Speaker 2: the point of the tariffs ruling as a buttress of
- 0:54Speaker 2: these attorneys general and their suit against the president. Do
- 0:58Speaker 2: you think one connects to the like the ags say.
- 1:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that they're you know, I'm
- 1:05Speaker 5: not sure how that's breaking down in terms of what
- 1:07Speaker 5: the states are asking versus what the individual businesses are asking,
- 1:11Speaker 5: because these lawsuits came from both the big group of
- 1:13Speaker 5: states but also individual businesses, and so they're still involved
- 1:18Speaker 5: in the legal process. So I think there is a
- 1:21Speaker 5: claim that the states could make for example, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 5: they they're there. They in their initial lawsuits, they were
- 1:27Speaker 5: claiming they had standing because they were impacted, and of
- 1:30Speaker 5: course the states are impacted economically by this. I mean,
- 1:32Speaker 5: these are huge chaffs that affect you know, massive trade
- 1:37Speaker 5: deals and affects huge, huge swats of economic activity. So
- 1:41Speaker 5: I think there probably is something that the States will
- 1:43Speaker 5: try and you know, there's a case they'll make to
- 1:45Speaker 5: get money back.
- 1:46Speaker 2: So what's coming on the docket, as they say, I get, well,
- 1:50Speaker 2: actually it's Supreme Court, so it is actually called a
- 1:53Speaker 2: docket there. What is what is on tap for the
- 1:57Speaker 2: coming week? And what are you expecting anything today at all?
- 2:02Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to release any opinions today.
- 2:04Speaker 5: They usually say ahead of time, you know, they're kind
- 2:07Speaker 5: of sad of saying they might release some opinions, but
- 2:09Speaker 5: we're still waiting on the Federal Reserve opinion. I think
- 2:12Speaker 5: that one is probably coming soon, and that would be
- 2:15Speaker 5: pretty big. Also, I think that Justice Barrier, for example,
- 2:18Speaker 5: was suggesting that could impact the economy in some way.
- 2:22Speaker 5: I think also, you know, the biggest one coming I
- 2:24Speaker 5: think is the birthright citizenshipcase. In terms of oral arguments,
- 2:28Speaker 5: they are coming up. But after that, I think you're
- 2:30Speaker 5: gonna see, you know, there's gonna be these huge opinions
- 2:33Speaker 5: in June about women's sports and then also the president's
- 2:36Speaker 5: ability to fire members of agencies like the FCC.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, those are all going to be seminal ones,
- 2:43Speaker 2: and I imagine controversial tea leaf reading. Then from where
- 2:49Speaker 2: you as covering the Supreme Court for the epic times,
- 2:55Speaker 2: a lot of my listeners say, it seems like more
- 2:58Speaker 2: and more frequently justices like Barrett or Kavanaugh are quote
- 3:04Speaker 2: abandoning ship and ruling contrary to what President Trump wants.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Have you noticed that and is there rumbling that this
- 3:15Speaker 2: is a theme that this is going to continue to
- 3:19Speaker 2: grow as the year goes on. Yeah.
- 3:23Speaker 5: I think those two in particular are really interesting because
- 3:26Speaker 5: there's been some statistics shown that they tend to vote together,
- 3:29Speaker 5: but at the same time, you know, they voted pretty
- 3:31Speaker 5: they've voted pretty differently on the tariff's decision. So Kavanaugh
- 3:34Speaker 5: was the league descent basically supporting Trump's tariffs, while Barrett
- 3:37Speaker 5: joined and she also had a concurrence criticizing Trump's tariffs,
- 3:41Speaker 5: and so I think that, you know, they're kind of
- 3:44Speaker 5: hard to read. I would say, I think that Kavanaugh
- 3:46Speaker 5: actually is a big proponent of executive power, and so
- 3:50Speaker 5: I think that he might be one of the big voices,
- 3:52Speaker 5: for example, with the FTC case supporting Trump in that sense,
- 3:56Speaker 5: and I think Barrett is headed in that direction as well.
- 3:59Speaker 5: The birth right citizen shit case. I think that will
- 4:01Speaker 5: be a really revealing sort of opinion to watch because
- 4:06Speaker 5: it's really hard to predict. I think, what the what
- 4:09Speaker 5: the individual justices are thinking on that.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, even more so than you would think, uh there,
- 4:14Speaker 2: even to the point where the President kind of made
- 4:16Speaker 2: an acknowledgment of it in the State of the Union address.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thank you so much for taking some time. Sorry,
- 4:22Speaker 2: we got a late start, but I'm glad you were
- 4:26Speaker 2: able to take some time for us, and you keep

- 5:03Speaker 2: the Treasury Department preparing to release plans at easing pressure
- 5:07Speaker 2: on energy costs caused by, if nothing else, the closure

- 5:20Speaker 2: oil supply. United States and Venezuela have agreed to diplomatic

- 6:05Speaker 2: it didn't reach the sixty votes necessary to pass. Speaker

- 6:14Speaker 2: Mullen will lead the Department of Homeland Security well. Donald

- 13:12Speaker 1: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
- 13:14Speaker 1: the first thing today.
- 13:24Speaker 2: So a couple of things, and I want to address
- 13:27Speaker 2: this one President Trump. Number one, did Joe Biden never
- 13:33Speaker 2: give any interviews to Newsmax?
- 13:38Speaker 12: Joe?
- 13:38Speaker 23: You know?
- 13:39Speaker 2: And and I say this because I get frustrated with
- 13:42Speaker 2: this idea that Donald Trump runs around with sycophants all
- 13:46Speaker 2: the time, just retransmitting what he just burped. So Donald
- 13:56Speaker 2: Trump sits down with Axios. Axios over the last ten
- 14:00Speaker 2: years has developed a brand as the left wing internet
- 14:05Speaker 2: version of MSNBC. They're not quite the Huffington Post, but
- 14:13Speaker 2: their attempts to be the postmodern version of the Huffington Post.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Is there. Their left wing lean is pronounced yeah. Donald
- 14:22Speaker 2: Trump gives them an exclusive interview, and everyone acts like
- 14:27Speaker 2: Donald Trump is just sitting there with sycophants. Only if
- 14:33Speaker 2: that was the case, he wouldn't have chided Caitlin Collins
- 14:37Speaker 2: about not smiling. He would have just ignored her, like
- 14:40Speaker 2: many presidents have to media that isn't quote friendly to them.
- 14:46Speaker 2: So President Trump says that in this Axios piece that
- 14:52Speaker 2: he thinks he should have some say because the rumblings
- 14:55Speaker 2: are that the Iatola's son is going to be the
- 14:59Speaker 2: next Iyetel and that they're still going to have Ayatola's there.
- 15:07Speaker 2: And you know, a couple of things come out of
- 15:09Speaker 2: this Axio story. But I want to address an email
- 15:12Speaker 2: based on it from Danny. Danny listening to us in
- 15:18Speaker 2: Connecticut and Greenwich, WGH, I appreciate it. I thought President
- 15:26Speaker 2: Trump was going to be the war ending president, not
- 15:30Speaker 2: the war starting president. Mister Thomas, Well, Danny, I could
- 15:38Speaker 2: make and I'm not here to apologize or to answer
- 15:41Speaker 2: for the president or mansplain for him or anything. I
- 15:48Speaker 2: see what's going on in Iran as the gambit to
- 15:52Speaker 2: end this war. This has been one of those shadow wars.
- 15:58Speaker 2: I mean, he really had the Cold War, which is
- 16:00Speaker 2: a lot of state craft, a lot of spy games,
- 16:03Speaker 2: really good for spy novelists. But Iran has been a
- 16:14Speaker 2: kinetic Cold War. It's it's been through proxies, it's a
- 16:18Speaker 2: little it's it is the state sponsor of terrorism that
- 16:23Speaker 2: George Bush talked about, w what he said after September
- 16:28Speaker 2: eleventh as he developed the Department of Homeland Security. Hey,
- 16:34Speaker 2: quick question, are they going to call Senator mullen ice
- 16:42Speaker 2: can now? I mean, I mean he kind of looks
- 16:45Speaker 2: like Ice Can. He's got close cropped beard, and you know,
- 16:53Speaker 2: I mean, how long have the left wing media people
- 16:56Speaker 2: called Christy Nome Ice Barbie. So I just presume Senator
- 17:06Speaker 2: Mark Wayne Mullen, if he does get confirmed as taking
- 17:09Speaker 2: over DHS, he'll be Ice Ken, and unlike some members
- 17:15Speaker 2: of the US senator I mean, he could pull off
- 17:17Speaker 2: looking like Ken, just saying no, not a man crush, No,
- 17:26Speaker 2: and it's not meant to be creepy. I'm just saying
- 17:28Speaker 2: that if they're going to be consistent in their coverage
- 17:31Speaker 2: of the President's administration, then I expect to see Senator
- 17:35Speaker 2: Mullen get referred to as Ice Ken. Anyway, back to
- 17:38Speaker 2: the department he is about to take over. When George
- 17:41Speaker 2: Bush was announcing the war on Terror, the war, by
- 17:47Speaker 2: the way, which all the Senators, including Barack h Obama
- 17:51Speaker 2: and Hillary R. Clinton, voted in favor of the war
- 17:56Speaker 2: that is still going on. That gives President and Trump
- 18:00Speaker 2: the authority to do the things he's doing. Despite what
- 18:03Speaker 2: Tim Kaine says, just saying and again not trying to
- 18:07Speaker 2: mansplain for the president. I'm just saying, these are the
- 18:11Speaker 2: points of order that you need to realize. But George
- 18:16Speaker 2: Bush said we will go after the state sponsors of terrorism.
- 18:22Speaker 2: And it was a brilliant line at the time because
- 18:25Speaker 2: that was finally a way to grapple on a geopolitical
- 18:29Speaker 2: scale that which generally had been viewed as just random
- 18:34Speaker 2: acts of violence. However, however, come two thousand and eight,
- 18:46Speaker 2: six years later, nobody had done anything about Iran. They
- 18:55Speaker 2: sat there as the big and I can imagine the Afghany,
- 19:00Speaker 2: you know whatever, the leadership in Afghanistan at the time,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and Libya and Moamar Kadaffi and all these folks are like, hey, dude,
- 19:11Speaker 2: I mean, we're just we're franchises of Iran's chain operation here.
- 19:19Speaker 2: But nobody had the intestical fortitude to go after the
- 19:23Speaker 2: Home Office of state sponsored terrorism until Trump. So I
- 19:28Speaker 2: would make Danny to your email and I get it
- 19:31Speaker 2: because lots of people are He said you was going
- 19:33Speaker 2: to stop wars, he's starting one. No, this is the
- 19:36Speaker 2: ending of one. This is an ending of one that's
- 19:39Speaker 2: been going on since nineteen ninety four, maybe even before.
- 19:48Speaker 2: This is an ending of a war that's been going on.
- 19:51Speaker 2: It's a whisper war, it's a shadow war. It's a
- 19:54Speaker 2: war that's been going on for decades, and how many
- 19:58Speaker 2: US soldiers have died in this war on terror while
- 20:03Speaker 2: we patty cake our way around. And this is why,
- 20:07Speaker 2: you know, the Biden's embarrassment in Afghanistan, the bungle and
- 20:13Speaker 2: the the they're not what do they call it. There's
- 20:19Speaker 2: a phrase for it. It's like bungle in the jungle.
- 20:21Speaker 2: But it's based on that premise, the abandonment of our
- 20:28Speaker 2: troops and our military equipment in Afghanistan. And then the
- 20:33Speaker 2: Taliban is taking over why because they were getting support
- 20:37Speaker 2: from Iran. Real you know, reform can't happen as long
- 20:44Speaker 2: as Iran is giving big bags of cash to other
- 20:50Speaker 2: you know, it's Hasbola, it's Isis, It's all of these groups,
- 20:55Speaker 2: they're all franchisees. It's like you drive down the road
- 20:58Speaker 2: you see the Golden Arches, like, oh, Ray Kroc owns that, No,
- 21:02Speaker 2: Joe Thomas owns that he buys the Golden Arches from
- 21:06Speaker 2: Ray Kroc. And so the point you're making about Trump's
- 21:20Speaker 2: starting a war is I think, you know obvious, because
- 21:23Speaker 2: nobody has tried to end Iran's ability to sponsor all
- 21:28Speaker 2: this terrorism around the world. But if President Trump is
- 21:34Speaker 2: is in this Acxios interview seems to believe it's just
- 21:38Speaker 2: going to be another Mullah, that he hasn't changed anything,
- 21:45Speaker 2: and why would we bother with all this, Why do
- 21:48Speaker 2: all the death and destruction if we're not looking to
- 21:51Speaker 2: break the grip of this theocracy, Because that's what's really
- 21:56Speaker 2: behind the state sponsors of terrorism, It's the theot CHRISI.
- 22:01Speaker 23: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet
- 22:04Speaker 23: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all

- 28:11Speaker 1: Quickly on a need to know basis, because you need
- 28:15Speaker 1: to know the first thing today.
- 28:17Speaker 2: It is time for our sports director Mac McDonald. I
- 28:21Speaker 2: did it again, Mac, what's that? I opened it so
- 28:25Speaker 2: so it gets circled around to college athletes because Chandler
- 28:31Speaker 2: Morris has got a court date for his attempt to
- 28:34Speaker 2: get a seventh year of eligibility. And it started me
- 28:37Speaker 2: off again on the idea that college we should just
- 28:41Speaker 2: stop it. We're fooling ourselves. Hire them like we hire
- 28:45Speaker 2: professional professors and just you know their their job is
- 28:49Speaker 2: to promote the universe.
- 28:50Speaker 12: Have to play in twelve years, fourteen years? Why not?
- 28:53Speaker 12: What could you hear doing the game?
- 28:55Speaker 19: Chandler Chandler Morris, a fourteen year veteran calling it Chandler Morris, day?
- 29:01Speaker 2: Sure, why not? Why not? They they've debased their degree
- 29:06Speaker 2: programs anyway, nobody's there for a degree.
- 29:09Speaker 12: So this just makes more sense than you than you know.
- 29:12Speaker 12: You know, I got eight to one. He does not.
- 29:14Speaker 19: He does not get a seventh year if they turned out,
- 29:18Speaker 19: you know, Pavey and you know even though what's his name?
- 29:22Speaker 19: It Ole miss you know, got it? Chandler Morris, I
- 29:26Speaker 19: don't think has okay?
- 29:27Speaker 2: So is that is that MGM? Or is that is
- 29:31Speaker 2: that Draft Kings? Or is this is this Max's own.
- 29:34Speaker 12: Pool, the hard rock in Florida. We can only play
- 29:37Speaker 12: the hard.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Quick though for disclaimer purposes. Mac McDonald is for entertainment
- 29:45Speaker 2: purposes only.
- 29:46Speaker 12: Entertainment purposes only. That's exactly right, all right.
- 29:48Speaker 19: A couple of things first before we try to settle
- 29:51Speaker 19: the uh and and I and I'm bailing out on
- 29:54Speaker 19: our number one choice of records that will never be broken.
- 29:57Speaker 19: So Daniel Berger had sixty three yesterday, Anton Arnold Palmer.
- 30:00Speaker 19: This is a signature event. They don't have sixty two players.
- 30:04Speaker 19: But this this is not your one hundred and full
- 30:06Speaker 19: field of one hundred and forty four guys run fifty
- 30:09Speaker 19: two guys like us, hope, but no, this is this
- 30:11Speaker 19: is the sixty two signature event. Four million to the winner,
- 30:16Speaker 19: and they're gonna cut six guys, So six guys will
- 30:20Speaker 19: not make the cut, which is crazy.
- 30:22Speaker 18: Just let them play.
- 30:23Speaker 12: Take the take five hundred thousand and you know, throw
- 30:26Speaker 12: some in the bottle.
- 30:27Speaker 19: I mean, it's a little ridiculous anyway, three shot lead
- 30:30Speaker 19: of with Collamore, Cowai finished eagle birdie, birdie for a
- 30:32Speaker 19: sixty six. Australia is two to zero, a five to
- 30:36Speaker 19: one win over Chechia, leading Pool C in the World
- 30:39Speaker 19: Baseball Classic. I'll talk about the USA team next hour.
- 30:44Speaker 19: They open play tonight at eight o'clock and they'll also
- 30:47Speaker 19: have Great Britain on Saturday night at eight o'clock. And
- 30:50Speaker 19: just to show you that the world of college athletics
- 30:53Speaker 19: is still like, you know, keeping us awake at night.
- 30:56Speaker 19: Louisiana Tech is suing Conference USA. They wanted to the belt,
- 31:01Speaker 19: so that's nice.
- 31:03Speaker 12: So why not.
- 31:05Speaker 19: Yeah, way we'll get into get in some tournament stuff. Okay,
- 31:08Speaker 19: we h. I'll back up here a little bit. During
- 31:11Speaker 19: the week, I went to a website, game day news
- 31:13Speaker 19: dot com.
- 31:13Speaker 12: We've been talking about it for a couple of days.
- 31:16Speaker 19: There were thirty sports records that they said likely will
- 31:20Speaker 19: never be broken.
- 31:22Speaker 12: So I went with the top five and.
- 31:24Speaker 19: It was number five Secretariat, the the thirty one length
- 31:27Speaker 19: win at Belmontain, seventy three cy Young seven and forty
- 31:30Speaker 19: nine complete games, five hundred and eleven wins.
- 31:33Speaker 12: That was number four, all right.
- 31:35Speaker 19: Number three was the Boston Celtics eight NBA titles in a.
- 31:38Speaker 12: Row that will never have it again.
- 31:40Speaker 19: Number two was Yukon's one hundred eleven game winning streak.
- 31:44Speaker 19: They got snapped at the h in the Final four
- 31:49Speaker 19: when Mississippi State beat them.
- 31:50Speaker 12: Okay, so with all with all that.
- 31:52Speaker 19: Being said, we came to number one and I had
- 31:55Speaker 19: a tie. So here's what I'm gonna do, and you're
- 31:57Speaker 19: gonna shoot me for it. But I want to back track.
- 32:00Speaker 12: First. Let's go to September eleventh, nineteen eighty five.
- 32:06Speaker 23: Like this.
- 32:06Speaker 12: I love to go, you know, river Front Stadio.
- 32:10Speaker 11: Here at Riverfront Stadio.
- 32:12Speaker 12: Two to one bitch from Shallos and Cutter.
- 32:16Speaker 1: That is Rose has Ay cup stop.
- 32:19Speaker 2: That's number four thousand, one hundred and ninety two.
- 32:25Speaker 12: All right, fireworks the who nine yards. At least they
- 32:28Speaker 12: didn't have a hockey horn.
- 32:29Speaker 19: Okay, Now, let's not let's not discuss this until we
- 32:35Speaker 19: get to one of the one of the great events ever.
- 32:39Speaker 19: September sixth nineteen ninety five cal Ripken two thousand, six
- 32:45Speaker 19: hundred and thirty two consecutive games play, and there's a
- 32:49Speaker 19: personal bound palm and Ed Brooken, We're done, Rutgers unning
- 32:53Speaker 19: a new record.
- 32:54Speaker 23: Bet Bonny oils iron Man two thousand, one hundred thirty.
- 32:57Speaker 12: One to second a game. And I just looked at
- 33:00Speaker 12: myself running down.
- 33:01Speaker 19: I was quick in the early parts because that was
- 33:03Speaker 19: the anxiety of let's get the game going again.
- 33:06Speaker 12: I'm a little embarrassed that we stopped the game this long.
- 33:09Speaker 11: Let's let's go.
- 33:10Speaker 12: And I remember I had a moment with my dad.
- 33:12Speaker 12: My dad was up in the skybox. There you go.
- 33:14Speaker 19: So the stat of the week, though, might be during
- 33:17Speaker 19: the Ripkin streak. And I'm trying to weigh these two. Okay,
- 33:21Speaker 19: the Ripken streak. Over thirty seven hundred major leaguers went
- 33:26Speaker 19: on the disabled list during the Ripkin streak.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Wow, it's digging deep.
- 33:33Speaker 12: Yeah, you got it. Well, you've got to try to
- 33:35Speaker 12: break the tie.
- 33:36Speaker 19: And I still think and I can't do a three
- 33:39Speaker 19: way tie. But tiger Wood six hundred and eighty three
- 33:42Speaker 19: consecutive weeks just shy of seventeen years as the world's
- 33:45Speaker 19: number one in an individual sport where you're playing against
- 33:48Speaker 19: one hundred and forty guys every week that you play.
- 33:51Speaker 12: I still think, you know, but then you say, oh, Mac,
- 33:54Speaker 12: you're a golfer. You want to go with Tiger? No,
- 33:57Speaker 12: and I you know, love baseball. It's a tie to me,
- 34:00Speaker 12: rip Rose a tie.
- 34:03Speaker 2: See. The only reason I would I would leave Tiger
- 34:06Speaker 2: out of that list and is because that ranking is
- 34:11Speaker 2: for the most part subjective. That's the you know, that's
- 34:14Speaker 2: sort of going back to how they used to pick
- 34:16Speaker 2: the national champion in college football.
- 34:20Speaker 12: That's a very good point.
- 34:21Speaker 2: So you know, the tangible, you know, the the ripken thing.
- 34:25Speaker 2: They they padded that. I mean, you know, even the
- 34:28Speaker 2: last game he played, he played one inning, uh there.
- 34:31Speaker 2: I mean at the end, they were they were stretching
- 34:33Speaker 2: it out there. You know, if he was if he
- 34:36Speaker 2: was competing for a job, there were shortstops in the
- 34:39Speaker 2: Oriole system that were playing better than him. But so
- 34:44Speaker 2: you know, and and in a lot of ways, Rose
- 34:47Speaker 2: the same thing. I think Roses last year, I don't
- 34:50Speaker 2: think he hit too fifty. He was he was hanging
- 34:55Speaker 2: on by a thread, trying to get to forty one
- 34:58Speaker 2: ninety two.
- 34:58Speaker 19: Well, he was too busy to trying to figure out
- 35:00Speaker 19: whether to play the over four runs.
- 35:04Speaker 12: Yeah, things in his mind, you know.
- 35:07Speaker 2: But you know, I still think that this is what
- 35:10Speaker 2: makes athletics fun is the keeping of these scores. This
- 35:15Speaker 2: is why when the NFL plays games with the rules
- 35:19Speaker 2: every season and it's, oh, well, this is past interference,
- 35:22Speaker 2: this isn't, this is holding, this isn't you change the
- 35:26Speaker 2: game so substantively, you know, sure you have the corked
- 35:32Speaker 2: bad era or the steroid era. I think I think
- 35:35Speaker 2: you should look at the you know, the era of
- 35:39Speaker 2: some of these records and say they didn't play against
- 35:41Speaker 2: Satchel Page and a lot of these great black players.
- 35:45Speaker 12: Well you'll love you'll love this.
- 35:46Speaker 19: I had a student yesterday. Because I had them, I
- 35:49Speaker 19: gave them assignment. They had to do a report and
- 35:51Speaker 19: a stand up on camera about the death of Lou Holtz,
- 35:55Speaker 19: and uh, you know, I said, guys, go deep, you know,
- 35:58Speaker 19: research this whatever you feel, look at some quotes or whatever.
- 36:02Speaker 12: And one kid says, I looked at his record, he
- 36:05Speaker 12: says whatever.
- 36:07Speaker 19: The record was two forty nine, one twenty one and seven.
- 36:12Speaker 19: He says, was that seven ties? And I said yeah,
- 36:17Speaker 19: And he goes, well, how did how were there seven ties?
- 36:21Speaker 19: I said, well, college, you know what birthday it was.
- 36:25Speaker 12: When you turned you know whatever it was. We haven't
- 36:28Speaker 12: had playoffs the entire time. I did that, yes, you.
- 36:32Speaker 19: Know, And then I went back into the history in Miami,
- 36:34Speaker 19: Nebraska and the Tom Osborne you know, going for two
- 36:38Speaker 19: and Jimmy Johnson going for you know, different times.
- 36:41Speaker 12: So I just had to kind of explain to him
- 36:44Speaker 12: what was what was shaken.
- 36:45Speaker 19: So, yeah, it was that it made my day yesterday again,
- 36:49Speaker 19: you know, tis history a.
- 36:51Speaker 2: Little bit right exactly? Yeah, good stuff as always, uh, Mac,
- 36:56Speaker 2: you know, and and yeah, I think it's fun. I
- 36:59Speaker 2: just you know, baseball and all these sports have become
- 37:03Speaker 2: so specialized that you know, I don't think any of
- 37:06Speaker 2: these fall down by the wayside, you know when you
- 37:09Speaker 2: talk about Cy Young and these folks, you know, even
- 37:13Speaker 2: even the relief pitchers. You know, now, you know, do
- 37:16Speaker 2: you do you just come in in the seventh inning?
- 37:18Speaker 2: Do you come into the what's a hold? What's the
- 37:21Speaker 2: major League record for consecutive golds? You know that kind
- 37:24Speaker 2: of thing. It's just just win the ball game.
- 37:27Speaker 12: Well, you'll love it, You'll love it.
- 37:29Speaker 19: Next hour talk about March Madness is here and a
- 37:33Speaker 19: kid from Lehigh in the Patriot League gets a forty
- 37:35Speaker 19: seven foot half court shot for the win.
- 37:38Speaker 12: So I'll talk about that, and then he and he goes,
- 37:40Speaker 12: you know.
- 37:41Speaker 19: The rest of the team takes practice shooting half court shots.
- 37:44Speaker 19: He goes, I never do I shoot free throws. Then
- 37:46Speaker 19: he wins it with it.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Very fun, all of it. Weekend YouTube brought to you

- 44:27Speaker 2: secretariat to the fact that the DHS isn't even being
- 44:31Speaker 2: paid right now, to battles over who is and who
- 44:36Speaker 2: isn't in leadership and oh yeah, by the way, we
- 44:40Speaker 2: bombed Iran all since the last time we sat down
- 44:44Speaker 2: with the former Chair of the House Freedom Cancus Bob Good,
- 44:48Speaker 2: Good morning Bob. How are you, sir?
- 44:50Speaker 21: Morning?
- 44:50Speaker 17: Joe, Great to be with you.
- 44:51Speaker 21: What a difference a week makes from what we were
- 44:54Speaker 21: talking about what we think might happen a week ago,
- 44:57Speaker 21: to what we are watching happen as we speak.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't agnosticate the Trump administration. What your thought
- 45:04Speaker 2: on this? The listener emailed about half hour ago and said,
- 45:10Speaker 2: I thought Trump was going to be this guy ending wars.
- 45:12Speaker 2: And that's a common bit of rhetoric that a lot
- 45:16Speaker 2: of the press is using. A lot of the commentariat
- 45:18Speaker 2: is into the Trump starting more wars than he ended.
- 45:22Speaker 2: To me. This is an attempt to actually end these
- 45:25Speaker 2: proxy wars that Iran has been fomenting for as long
- 45:31Speaker 2: as I can remember at least into the nineties, hesbolah Hamas,
- 45:36Speaker 2: all these groups that Iran is funneling money to and
- 45:40Speaker 2: they cause trouble and we go into Afghanistan, we go
- 45:43Speaker 2: into Libya, we go and we never go after the
- 45:45Speaker 2: head of the serpent in this case until now? What
- 45:49Speaker 2: do you think about that? Am I off my horse?
- 45:52Speaker 21: I think it's a valid point, particularly if it applied
- 45:56Speaker 21: to what we did last summer with depleting, decimating, setting
- 46:04Speaker 21: back whatever the actual result was of Iran's nuclear capability.
- 46:08Speaker 21: We along with Israel back last summer in the so
- 46:12Speaker 21: called twelve day war. That taking in isolation, I think
- 46:16Speaker 21: would really make your case. I do think there's reason
- 46:21Speaker 21: for debate and concern because of what happened in Venezuela,
- 46:25Speaker 21: and therefore what's going on in Venezuela. We'll see what
- 46:29Speaker 21: happens there is we've got the propped up vice president
- 46:32Speaker 21: along as she does what we tell her to do.
- 46:33Speaker 21: We've made it sort of a colony, if you will.
- 46:35Speaker 21: Got in our southern part of our hemisphere there the
- 46:40Speaker 21: president is talking about going into Cuba. We've got stuff
- 46:42Speaker 21: going on in Ecuador. We've got the threats with Greenland,
- 46:47Speaker 21: And I would just say with respect to this war,
- 46:50Speaker 21: and it is a war. I mean, it is a
- 46:51Speaker 21: full scale, ongoing assault. We didn't just bomb them, so
- 46:54Speaker 21: to speak, but we are doing it now. And it's
- 46:57Speaker 21: a large country by the size of Alaska. It's got
- 46:59Speaker 21: some million people. Uh, but it's ongoing, and I do
- 47:05Speaker 21: think there's reason to be concerned about the mixed messaging,
- 47:09Speaker 21: the mixed explanation, the what is the mission, what is
- 47:13Speaker 21: the objective? You know, was it just to take out
- 47:15Speaker 21: their nuclear capability, which the President continued to claim up
- 47:18Speaker 21: until the eve of the attack, that we had already obliterated.
- 47:21Speaker 21: He used words again just last week, totally obliterated, totally obliterated,
- 47:26Speaker 21: but yeah, we got to go in and remove it.
- 47:28Speaker 21: But then it's went to okay, we're going to eliminate
- 47:29Speaker 21: their navy, We're going to eliminate their ability to fund
- 47:32Speaker 21: their proxies. We're going to get rid of their ICBMs,
- 47:36Speaker 21: interc interconminental ballistic missiles that could reach our shores. And
- 47:40Speaker 21: then the President even posted and said, m I g A,
- 47:44Speaker 21: why wouldn't we want regime change if the regime is bad?
- 47:48Speaker 21: Make I ran great again? MIGA and so it's hard
- 47:52Speaker 21: to imagine that we will do what we need to
- 47:54Speaker 21: do and then leave and go home and leave it
- 47:56Speaker 21: to the people of Iran. Could you imagine, Joe, if
- 47:59Speaker 21: you were over there and you're one of the next
- 48:01Speaker 21: in line leaders. They call it the Assembly of Elders,
- 48:04Speaker 21: the eighty eight or so, and I'm guessing it's a
- 48:06Speaker 21: different eighty eight than it was a week ago because
- 48:08Speaker 21: they keep knocking off the next layer, the next layer.
- 48:11Speaker 21: But could you imagine that said, Joe, we need you
- 48:13Speaker 21: to come to a meeting. We're going to vote on
- 48:14Speaker 21: who the next leader is, and you're part of that council.
- 48:17Speaker 21: Would you show up to that meeting?
- 48:19Speaker 2: Can I zoom into a little bit of jests there?
- 48:21Speaker 21: But it's hard to imagine this is not a long term,
- 48:25Speaker 21: sustained slog and that we don't creep into or morph
- 48:30Speaker 21: into regime change. Obviously we're executing, magine Jane, but nation building,
- 48:36Speaker 21: how do we prop that up and sustain The President's
- 48:38Speaker 21: not even ruling out ground troops. The Joint Chairman of
- 48:42Speaker 21: the Joint Chiefs of Staff is even talking to potential
- 48:44Speaker 21: ground troops. Reported we've got fifty thousand troops engaged right
- 48:47Speaker 21: now in some capacity. So I think there's I think
- 48:53Speaker 21: every American, almost every American supports when the President has
- 48:58Speaker 21: pronounced we're going to eliminate the threat to the United States.
- 49:00Speaker 21: We're going to eliminate around's nuclear capability. We're gonna stop,
- 49:04Speaker 21: We're going to put an end to your point of
- 49:07Speaker 21: the war that's been going on for forty seven years
- 49:09Speaker 21: that's killed hundreds of Americans directly, thousands of Americans indirectly.
- 49:13Speaker 21: The number one state sponsor of terror in the world,
- 49:16Speaker 21: the regime that began with the you know, kidnapping, assault
- 49:20Speaker 21: on our embassy and taking hostage whatever many Americans it
- 49:24Speaker 21: was you probably know the number off top of your head.
- 49:25Speaker 21: For four hundred forty four days or so held them
- 49:28Speaker 21: until the Reagan presidency began. But I think it's unclear
- 49:34Speaker 21: where this goes, how this ends, not just the normal
- 49:37Speaker 21: fog of war, but because the mixed messaging on the
- 49:40Speaker 21: objective and what the endgame is and what our ultimate
- 49:43Speaker 21: involvement will be, and it's hard to imagine we're not
- 49:47Speaker 21: in for the long slog.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Well, you know, and this goes into something I said
- 49:51Speaker 2: earlier in the week. I mean, what happens with these protesters,
- 49:55Speaker 2: the tens of thousands that were killed for their attempts
- 50:00Speaker 2: to get their voices heard. Are we supporting them? I
- 50:06Speaker 2: was talking to your friend of mine, Tom garrett or
- 50:09Speaker 2: earlier in the week, and he brought up this woman
- 50:12Speaker 2: in Paris sort of running this shadow government in exile,
- 50:17Speaker 2: marry him Rashani, and she wants to come back in
- 50:24Speaker 2: sort of in the way that Ms. Maschado wants to
- 50:27Speaker 2: come back to Venezuela. There with it. But President Trump
- 50:31Speaker 2: yesterday and Axios told an Axios interviewer that he wants
- 50:36Speaker 2: to see who the next Mulla is. I'm like, no, no,
- 50:39Speaker 2: the point that they have Mulla's was what we were
- 50:42Speaker 2: going in for. It wasn't that particular one. It's it's
- 50:45Speaker 2: the theocracy that we were looking to break up. I thought.
- 50:49Speaker 21: Anyway, Yeah, this Mariam Rajave or however you say it,
- 50:53Speaker 21: who's apparently the president of the National Council Resistance of Iran,
- 50:57Speaker 21: the NCRI. She and they and imediately announced some kind
- 51:01Speaker 21: of a provisional government that they would like to put
- 51:02Speaker 21: in place. You've got the Crown Prince Pahlavi who says
- 51:07Speaker 21: he'd like to be an interim leader, but the president,
- 51:12Speaker 21: our president, President Trump has said he wants to be
- 51:14Speaker 21: involved in choosing the next leader. The people of Iran
- 51:19Speaker 21: are not armed, you know, they don't have the right
- 51:22Speaker 21: to recognize right that we have here to defend themselves
- 51:24Speaker 21: keeping their arms, so to speak. And so and you
- 51:29Speaker 21: do wonder how much, to your point it played into
- 51:31Speaker 21: the action that was taken with the President Trump promising, hey,
- 51:36Speaker 21: help is on the way. And you had thirty forty
- 51:38Speaker 21: thousand people killed during the uprising who were just slaughtered
- 51:42Speaker 21: by the regime. But it's hard to imagine something sustained
- 51:48Speaker 21: without a prolonged US presidence that puts US in harm's way.
- 51:53Speaker 21: The country will at some point grow tired of us.
- 51:55Speaker 21: There is This is not like Venezuela. Different culturally, it's different. Religiously,
- 52:03Speaker 21: it's different.
- 52:03Speaker 2: Let's see, as Kareem rightfully points out, Bob Good is
- 52:08Speaker 2: on with us, a former chair of the House Freedom
- 52:11Speaker 2: concuss and neglected in the onset, just rushing in now,

- 52:24Speaker 2: just like you can the podcast versions this program Kareem
- 52:29Speaker 2: rightfully points out, I mean it's still the battle of
- 52:31Speaker 2: Sunni versus Shia within the Islamic faith is almost as
- 52:37Speaker 2: dangerous as their battle with the Great White Satan. Bob,
- 52:42Speaker 2: and I appreciate your thoughts on that. Beyond that in Congress,
- 52:46Speaker 2: other things afoot that I think are tangential to it.
