  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well, one thing that I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: did not know about my dad was that January twenty
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: first was always a spiritual birthday for him when we
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: were and I'm saying this for a reason, when we
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: were in the ambulance on the way to the hospital
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty three. I know I've talked
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: about him a lot this week on social media because
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we're honoring him.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: This week, but he told me that his birthday.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Was biologically April nineteenth, so today he would have been
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: eighty eight years old.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Eighty eight.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact he died just a few days
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: short of his birthday in twenty twenty three, in which
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: we went to Yankee Stadium a couple a couple of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: days later, and we knew it was him shining on
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: us because the sun was so bright over centerfield that
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it was a night game too, but that sunset was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: really powerful the first game back. Well, anyway, happy birthday
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to you, pops in heaven. And I wanted to leave
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this note that whenever I accomplished something, I still believe
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he accomplishes it too, because he my mom Vic laid
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the groundwork for this thing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Known as the podcast and.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: My radio career, and my dad always says I was
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a yappers, So there you go. And so whatever I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: accomplished through this podcast, he accomplishes too. And I wanted
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to put that on this podcast on his eighty eighth birthday.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And speaking of accomplishment, and there's one big one I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: have to report today. Apparently according to Just the News,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: see how always go back to the news and sports
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. According to Just the News with John Solomon,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the United States and Iran have agreed to enter next
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: phase of nuclear negotiations. That is major considering this administration
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: never wanted an Iran deal because they didn't like the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: first one and the way the first one at the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Obama administration was originally worked.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: But hopefully this is a stronger deal.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And if there can be diplomacy with Iran without them
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: still getting away with you know stuff, I'd be happy.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And then one of the things today in the most.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Bizarre thing, because I think it's to be more than
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: just that, Putin is called a ceasefire for Easter and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: then he'll be back on on Monday.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Like it's just what's the point.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I get it, but it should be something that is continual,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: not just a one day ceasefire for Easter. I guess
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you could say he's considerate of all the observing Christians
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: in both Ukraine and Russia. But come on, one day truce.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: This war has to end soon, man, and it's gotta
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: be done in a way that prevents more destruction in
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Ukraine and prevents Putin from really taking over.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: More what it seems like of the world.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Because this is this is this war has should not
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: have even started. But I digress a one day truce
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and it's made so much news that I had to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: say one day truth, Why not just ninety one hundred
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: eighty days? I don't know, just extend that truth for
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: quite a long while, because we all know that war
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: needs to end beyond just Easter Sunday's ceasefire. And if
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you want to know why I talk news, because well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: my dad raised me on the news channels. He'd always
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: had me listening to either sports with Howie Rose and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Sam Rosen and Kenny Albert, or he'd slip over and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: listen to Curtis leeway Nine's seventy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, all of.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: This podcast is a mixture of what I've been raised
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on from both sides of my family, and I just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: thought I mentioned that on my dad's eighty eighth birthday.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'll got into more of what's burning up my soul
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: because there was more intel leaks that I haven't even
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: got to. I mean, why I ran now knows by
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the way, Israel's plan to attack them through the New
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: York Times is anonymous source story is preposterous. Did you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: read this the other day? Because I did, and I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: immediately called, well, you know, my buddy Lou loves his sports,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but he also loves to talk to this.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Kind of stuff.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The New York Times came out speaking of Iran the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: other day saying Trump wave. This is Wednesday night. Trump
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: waved office rarely strike after divisions emerged in his administration.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Is your developed plans for attacking Iranian nuclear facilities that would.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Have required US assistance?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But some administration officials had doubts, so you piggyback off
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the story today where they're in nuclear negotiation and negotiations
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with Iran? Is that why the Trump administration wave Israel off?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But then I think further.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The Times clearly stated that this was all anonymous sources.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Leaking to the press. War plans again, attack plans again.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I want to see more people escorted out of the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Pentagon if these leaks continue. Secretary of Hexeth, President Trump,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: these leaks are damaging national security.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It looks about as bad. And I know that nobody's died.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: From this, but it's as bad as the Afghan dan
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: withdraw which killed the actual thirteen Americans. But the weakness
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is showing because you have leakers that need to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: escorted out of the Pentagon, not just one day out
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of the week. And these leakers are damaging our national security.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: The signal chat damages our security.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's awful that Goldberg was let in there and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: that he got access to this, that's number one.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: But as I mentioned before, Goldberg leaking this whole chat.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Now this these leaks have to stop.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Because if they don't, our national security risk is going
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to elevate. And one thing I want to mention on
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this podcast that I haven't yet, but I want to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: put it in on the air. Here is the simple
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: fact that I love talking sports.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's a great distraction and it's something that makes me passionate.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: But you know what also makes me passionate.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: The national security of our country if these leaks continue,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: if national security is always at risk, God forbid.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I say this gold in a.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Sports game may not be a luxury we get to enjoy.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: To go to these games is because we are kept safe.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: These leaks are not keeping us safe. So I I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: rank national security of our country above what Aaron Judge
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and Juan Sota we're talking about in the post. It's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: great Judges hitt the Homers and SODA's going over five
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: grant entertainment. It's gonna be a white hot summer for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: baseball in New York. But we don't need to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a white hot summer of national security risks because there
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: are people in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The Pentagon leaking over and over again.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: How is The Times getting this information exposing our ally
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Israel's plan and making Iran aware at the same time
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that there are plans against them.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Isn't that a national security risk?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know you email me Alex and ALEXIXTJNWSC dot com.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Do we not care about security anymore? And I mean
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: this from the campus level, where anti Semitism still runs rampant.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: To this.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Exposing of Israel's plans, which I think there's an agenda
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: there to try and undermine Israel, which some could view
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: as anti Semitic because who runs the country Jewish leaders.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: It goes beyond just a state thing. It goes beyond.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: It's a personal thing when Israel is undermined for me anyway,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know about for you, but I.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Don't think.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: People in the Emanstradi who want to see Israel fail
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are exactly.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Pro the Jewish state, pro Jewish people.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: There might be some radical, pro free Palestiners in there
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that we don't know about, but they're sure as hell
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: mentioned as anonymous because they're the ones that are telling
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the times. Hey, guess what Israel wanted attack Iran and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we stopped them on this Holy Saturday and a weekend
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: where Easter and Passover cross over.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I just would like a few days where we can
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: get the news that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Is more spiritual in nature and more unified in nature,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: because there is a warfare going on not only against America,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: but against yes, the Jewish people, a spiritual warfare going on. Clearly,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: these leaks are not just leaks.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: There's some sort of.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it spiritual warfare, but
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: there's a warfare there too that we must come back,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and you know how we combat it by taking the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: unity that is Easter and Passover on the same weekend
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and applying that spiritual unity into unity in the Pentagon, into.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Unity with Israel, into unity on our college campuses. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: one last thing because of this Holy Saturday.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And I wrote about this because I am going to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: be thirty three and a half tomorrow, to be thirty
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: three on Good Friday, the day when they crucify Christ
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: at the age of thirty three. I've come to this
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: understanding that not only did he die for our sins
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and I don't to get preachier, but he did. He
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: also died for us to outlive that age the best
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we can.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: To keep going. That's why he did this.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He sacrificed himself, and it's someone at the age of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: thirty three. Now I'm inspired by that sacrifice to outlive
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the age of thirty three and treat my body as
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a temple no matter how many ice coffees I have, and.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Keep going.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I almost wasn't here for the age of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: thirty three because I was told by my fiance Gabby
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and my mom I looked greener than ever on the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: hospital bed.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: He may have twenty twenty four. Well, I've learned from that,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I'd like to think, and I'm here for the long haul.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But being thirty three on the day Christ was crucified,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that we under that crucif fiction, and that we on
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the day he died on the cross, it opened my
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: eyes to more than just him dying for our sins.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It's beyond that.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: He sacrifices himself so we can outlive. Well, yes, the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: age of thirty three, but just I'll live any kind
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of obstacle, any kind of hindrance. And then of course
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: on Easter we honor his comeback that he has risen.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And so if you feel like you are in a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: position where you're not as you know, you're not as
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: successful or something, you will have that comeback story too.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You will rise above that and you feel like you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: can overcome something you can God willing Christ overcame death,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: which means here on earth we can overcome struggle and yes,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: unity with our allies as a country, as a college campus,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that to me is the modern day struggle we're dealing with.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And if we can overcome that by the more unified
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: voice of saying this is insane, what's going on? In
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: our college campus. Is it's insane that these leakers are
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: happening at the Pentagon. Why aren't they escorted out one
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: by one. We're waiting for that secretary of Hexeth. We're
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: waiting for it. That's how we overcome the struggles here
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on Earth, like Christ overcame death.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: On Easter morning. I'm Alex Garrett.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I hope you get to have one leg up for
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Easter and one leg up on life while you can,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and may this administration of one leg up on the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: leakers that are undermining every which way. Maybe this scene
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: rambled to you. To me, it all feels connected. We
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: have to defeat the warfare. And what a better weekend
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to say that than the time when spiritual unity cannoutweigh.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: The spiritual warfare.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Christmas and Hanika, we're connected in December of twenty twenty four,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Eastern Passover our connected. That's a God sign right there
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to unify and defeat the warfare going on in and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: out of our country. And it's not just a one
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: day truce. It's an every day mission that we all
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: must be unified and have one leg up together. Thanks
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: be to God, this Holy Saturday and Happy Birthday, pops
