  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well here on the Alex Garrett Podcast Network.
• 0:13
  I hope you're doing well on this Friday. I mean, can we
• 0:16
  say how electric the city of New York is right now? With the Rangers
• 0:21
  up three to zero, with the Knicks up three two to zero, looking
• 0:24
  to go three to zero against Indiana, And yeah, the Yanks taking two
• 0:30
  or three from the Astro six and one on the season for the against the
• 0:34
  Strows. Pretty impressive. But on my Twitter, my persona has kind of
• 0:39
  been about sports, right with the Rangers one night nixt the other night,
• 0:42
  Yankees every night. And I've really felt my Twitter has delved into the sports
• 0:49
  world a lot. And maybe you find that too if you've listened, if
• 0:53
  you follow me on Alex g NYC one on Twitter. But the truth is,
• 0:59
  I am my eyes on a lot of things. But with all the
• 1:02
  sports stuff, I'm kind of wondering if I should voice the other things I've
• 1:07
  got my eye on. Because here's the thing. The sports world is an
• 1:11
  awesome community and so many friends made, so many people joining the journey on
• 1:17
  Alex jnsic one, and we might have differing political views and different thoughts on
• 1:23
  everything, but what I'm also focused on is twenty twenty four is a very
• 1:30
  important year, and what I'm seeing shape up is a chaotic year for American
• 1:38
  Jews continuing to be basically excommunicating from the college campuses, and Columbia capitulating by
• 1:49
  even canceling their commencement address now following suit with USC. I'm seeing the fact
• 1:57
  that Israel wants to take out Humus and now they're not getting the weapons they
• 2:02
  need from US. I can't stay silent on that this week. To wrap
• 2:08
  up the podcast, I cannot. I can't stay silent on how twenty twenty
• 2:16
  four is shaping up because this is an election year. And I've said it
• 2:21
  time and time again, whether we're talking about accessibility, adaptability, accountability,
• 2:24
  or the sports scene, athletes, people with disabilities, lawyers, you know,
• 2:32
  musicians, anybody with a craft, and anybody who's breathing is paying their
• 2:40
  taxes, and what are our tax dollars going to? That's what I always
• 2:46
  want to talk about, in addition to the electric sports scene, what are
• 2:52
  our taxes going to? And right now it's going to chaos, it's going
• 3:02
  to you know, crap. The fact that now the protesters seemed to be
• 3:09
  having a majority kind of voice, which is stupid because now the Biden noministration
• 3:15
  won't give Israel the weapons it deserves. I can't stay silent on that.
• 3:24
  I can't stay silent on that the Trump trials are going to play out as
• 3:30
  they do. And I don't the legality of that and the whole thing.
• 3:37
  I just I'm not an expert to weigh in on that, but I will
• 3:43
  say I will say, when Trump talks about the issues, he's sounding like
• 3:58
  an average American? Why is inflation going up under Biden? Like he sounds
• 4:01
  like someone who is continuing to talk about the issues in a way that makes
• 4:10
  sense, unlike Biden. And I don't know how the summer conventions are going
• 4:17
  to go. I just know that how can we all be pretty ticked off?
• 4:27
  I mean, how come we aren't all ticked off at what's transpired on
• 4:30
  our college campuses on the I've called it segregation, that universities have now done
• 4:38
  to tell the Jewish people to stay home while the encampment continues. How fair
• 4:43
  is that? How discriminatory? Is that? Very discriminatory? And so I
• 4:57
  always do for those who are disjoining, I always do my road to two
• 5:01
  seventy, which is happening again on May twentieth. I'll find something to talk
• 5:06
  about with the polling and whatnot. Kind of missed April twentieth because it was
• 5:11
  over the weekend, and then we'll go from there. But in the midst
• 5:18
  of posting on all the sports, I've got eyes on a lot of things,
• 5:23
  and yes, accessibility and adaptability er one. I cannot wait to go
• 5:27
  to the Center for Independence New York's gala on May twentieth. That's going to
• 5:33
  be a fun night. Looks like I'll be going to a Scarti Center on
• 5:38
  May sixteenth, which will be fun. At the celebrity Night now formerly sports
• 5:45
  Night, we'll be honoring the seniors at the Henry of Scardi School. So
• 5:51
  this may has a lot in store. But don't be full that I'm only
• 5:57
  a sports tracked mind. I'm really not. I am so wired into different
• 6:04
  things that it sometimes makes my brain race. It does because I'm going from
• 6:13
  adaptability to the wait if there's not getty weapons to you know, my goodness,
• 6:19
  Colombia is capitulating again. So I don't have just a one track mind.
• 6:26
  I find I have like a twelve track mind. It just I feel
• 6:29
  more comfortable showing my sports side. But the reality is we have a country
• 6:33
  to save one way or another. We have a country to save, and
• 6:41
  are we really going to look at ourselves and say, Biden the answer?
• 6:46
  Are we really going to look at ourselves and say, all right, let's
• 6:48
  just distract ourselves with sports. It's a great distraction. What's going on in
• 6:51
  the sports scene is an incredible thing here and the next possibly going up three
• 7:00
  go tonight. But if you ask me, what I'm really really thinking about
• 7:05
  also is the fact that capitulation to Humas has spread from Columbia University all the
• 7:15
  way to the White House. There's just no ifs ands or butts about it.
• 7:24
  And that's sad. And I don't think the pro HUMUS protesters should be
• 7:30
  winning right now. So that's really been on my mind. Also, you
• 7:34
  know, and I talk about accessibility and adaptability, and I'm working on more
• 7:43
  of those stories. I went all out for limb loss Awareness month. There's
• 7:46
  always an awareness month. By the way, this month is a small business
• 7:51
  month. How about that. In the next couple of days, I'm gonna
• 7:57
  talk to Bill Shnay, a music legend, icon engineers engineer, and I
• 8:03
  can't wait to post that up for you on the podcast. But yeah,
• 8:11
  I am very very concerned over the cancelation of commencement in Colombia. Over where
• 8:18
  we're headed in twenty twenty four, and one last thing is being of adaptability.
• 8:24
  Anthony Fitzgerald is starting up wheelchair softball at Eisenower Park. Got that text
• 8:30
  today, so I can't wait to join him on that journey and keep enjoining
• 8:35
  the sports scene as we deal with a strong solar storm over the weekend.
• 8:39
  The Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks taking the city by storm already
