  Speaker 1: Which Lowry is the editor of the National Review. Dear
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: friend and an amazing weekly guest on the program. He's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: here early on this Wednesday morning. Richard Good Wednesday, Hawaii,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Pale Good, Sidney, how are you.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I'm good.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I like what I saw in Texas last night. It
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is I know, we keep talking about this every week,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: whether it's Indiana those five legislators, whether it's Cassidy in Louisiana.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Last week it was Massy in Kentucky, and last night
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it was Cornyn, who's not a bad guy. He's nothing
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: like Massi or Ran Paul or any of those idiots.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: He's not. But for whatever.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Reason, President Trump attached his horse to Ken Paxton. Huge race.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty million dollars they spent on that race,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Paxton spending by far the least compared to Tyler Rico
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and of course Cornyn. But it didn't matter because these days,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in these GOP primaries, if you get Trump to back you,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you win. That's the bottom line, right.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Rich Yep, no doubt about it. It was a little bit
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: like a Knicks game. You thought it might be close
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: at the beginning and then it ended up a blowout. Yeah,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I think Trump endorsed him in part because he thought
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: he was gonna win, but in part to kind of
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: screw the center Republican leadership they's not very happy with
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: at the moment. I think it's a risky choice. I
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: think he'll he'll win Paxton, but the rumors here, you.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Do, well, you think he's gonna beat you think, and again,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I still don't know why he's soured on Coin and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I know he's upset with the Senate and the Congress.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But corn In votes with President Trump over ninety nine
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: percent of the time. But regardless of that, you think
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Paxston's gonna beat Tula Rico.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I do. I think it'll be close, though. I think
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: tall Rico has so many vulnerabilities it's it's gonna be
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: really hard for him. But Paxton, I think they're probably
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: more scandal out there that Democrats will pay for managed
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to dredge up. So it's going to be ugly, but
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: ugly down there. I think he'll he'll pull it out,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: but it's it's going to be hugely expensive, probably the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: most expensive race in the country.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It's been like thirty years since a Democrat has won.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know, the other race that was almost identical in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: terms of numbers. Packson won like sixty four to thirty six.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And this anti semi what an idiot this lady was,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this Maureen Galindo who said that Jewish Zionists Zionists should
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: be kept in detention camps like concentration camps. She actually
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: said that this more on twenty twenty six, Maureen Galindo,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and she got hurt.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Doords blown off? Thank god.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always a therapists who are like the worst people.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And she was there sex therapist exactly.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: They're always crazy and she was a total, a total nutjob.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: So Republicans wanted her to win because they thought to
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: be able to beat her. This is one of those
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: redistrict districts down there that the margin for Republicans is
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: pretty thin, so they're beginning to be a little nervous
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: about them. So hopefully they'll they'll win that one in
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: general anyway, but they didn't get the most idiotic vulnerable candidate.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: No, they didn't.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll be remissive. I didn't mention this at
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: one point. Yeah, yesterday, and oh I know why Joe
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Bningo was coming on the end of the show yesterday
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: wf an legend and my old partner talk about the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Knicks and noaem Leyden has been very public on this
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: show about how much he loves Beningo. He's one of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: his favorite guests. So I said to him yesterday, I said,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Beningo is your favorite guest?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Is that it?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He said, Well, I have three, and no one knew
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: this really know him. Who are your three favorite guests
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on Sitting Friends in the morning, he mentioned Beningo Wfan.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: He mentioned Craig Carton, also wf an, so clearly he
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: listens to sports talk when he leaves this show. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the third guy he mentioned you, Wow.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the wfan legends. I listened. Well, I'm not listening
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to you sit on the radio. It's wf an.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: If I ever cheat on you, yeah, ever cheat on you?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: It's the fan what you're listening to? Boomer, he hates you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Occasionally, you know, you'll be in a commercial break or
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I want to know what they're talking about, but it's
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: usually you said in the morning.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, why now that I've got him on the mic here, No,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: why did you pick Rich Lowry in the top ten?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I told you this yesterday. I think first wall. He's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: really intelligent, but he also he's getting nuts. He's not
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: exactly Einstein. Calm down. He's very close to Einstein. And
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: he's sensible. That's what I like about him, all those things. Yes,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: he's very sensible. I agree. I love this guy. He's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: been on the show for a long time. You've been
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: friends for a long time.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I do have a question from a dying patient at
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a hospital not far away, Pete Morgan. He's not dying,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: thank god, but he did say I have one question
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: for Rich Lowry, mister peeless boilers. Does Rich Lowry like
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Cabriero with third base? Mister w F an listener, You're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: like Caballero at third base and Volpe at short or
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: maybe Rosario versus lefties.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: M yeah, Rosario, that guy. He had four hits last night.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I know I played in five days and I love
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: his intensity. He's always the first guy out of the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: dugout to congratulate late anyone when anything happens. We noticed
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: this about him last year. We didn't even know who
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: he was. He had barely What do you mean.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: He played for the Mets. He played for the Mets
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: for years. He was good.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't realize it was former Mets. Yes, I
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: love that guy. I love Cabby too, the intensity and
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the speed he brings. So if Volpi can hold his own,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a very small sample size, but if
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he plays the way he has the last ten days, yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I think that'd be great. I love McMahon as a guy.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I love the defense. It's just the offense is pretty brutal.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's gone ken hit. This is the editor of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: National Review, Rich.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Lowry, who's on this show and does a lot of
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: political podcasts, but in his dreams wants to be hosting
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the afternoon show with WF Band, sitting right there with
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Craig Corn.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, one thing I hear on the when
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I hear you on the fan is because you're doing
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the peerless boiler read.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, they still do those, thanks to Pete Morgan. Every
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Giant game. And I have to tell you, spending like
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: twenty years down in Florida, almost every week I would
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get a text, oh my god, you're back at the fan.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I take that twenty five years ago.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But I was on the fan well untilby recently, when
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I made the switch from the Mets to the Yankees
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: on the way to Yankee Stadium. Craig had me on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Craig and Chris Mack was on recently.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: What was his take on it?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Oh? He you know, he started many years ago. Craig
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: famous for this.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He started the the Church met bands that turned to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yankee So he yeah, he.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Read this all right, doing the Yankee.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia, Pelly to your savior on this.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I'm still a Yankee guy. I did go to the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Met Yankee game. I did spend time in the box
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: with Steve Cohen. He's a lovely guy, the Mets owner.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Lovely guy.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Did did he work here? Just just a soft sell?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: It was nice.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: He didn't really worked me, and and neither does Randy Levine.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But I'm a Levine guy and a Yankee guy, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that's not going to change. I don't root against the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Mets necessarily.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I don't have to. They lose every night anyway. It
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: lost five street.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Kind of creep up towards five hundred. You know, you
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: get like just five games under, then you you know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: have a month or two to get to five hundred,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: and then you're in the wild car chase. But there's
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: still ten under.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: They lost five straight they've they got swept by the Marlins,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and they're in jeopardy of getting swept by Cincinnati later
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: on today as well. So they're still a very bad
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: baseball team. I want to get to Trump. He went
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to his medical visit yesterday at Walter Reid. Now, I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just just shook his hand on Friday. He was kind
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: enough to call me to the stage after the big
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Mike Laller event in Rockland County, so sweet shook his hand,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: whispered little nothings in his year. He did the same
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to me, and I've still yet to share what we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: told each other. But that's fine. But he looked great
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to me. He looked fine. Yet the media is talking
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: about I guess he's got his hands or discolored, he's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: got swollen legs.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He says it went great at Walter Reid yesterday. Do
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you think there should be any concern about this guy's health.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think he's ever going to die, thank God.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I think he's strong as an ox. Now. I haven't
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: been around him as much as you have, but the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: last time I shook his hand, it's like, oh my god,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: this guy, this is strong as an Ox.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: So he has an indomitable will. So he's gonna live
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: to be one hundred truth socialing the whole time.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I hope, so God, I hope. So.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Although again, almost every day one of his big supporters
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: comes to me and they say, you know, sit, listen
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to you every day, and you're right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You've been saying he's stuck and he run. I mean,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: what are we doing?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You know, the straight is still that willy opening, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have a hard time getting too that in
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: rich uranium. Let't they put boots on the ground. That
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: all resulting in American debts. You know, then you get
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the whole regime thing and who's in charge. And it
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: just seems to me that part of the reason why
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: President Trump seems to be very patient is is because
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: we're stuck. Now, I've said that on this show for
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: about a month. Guess upset it. Trump supporters get angry
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: every now and then, But it's looking more and more
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: like I'm right every day.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: No.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we actually used that phrase in our editorial arms
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: you did yesterday at naster View. We're stuck? Yeah, did
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you credit me.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: He's the son of a Yeah? Because you so everybody
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: else uses the word stalemate. That word stalemate is everywhere.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I was the first to say on this show over
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a month ago, were stuck.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he clearly doesn't want to bomb them again.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: One because the politics aren't great. It wasn't a popular
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: word to begin with. It's not popular now we're running
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: out of precision munitions, and then you have the golfare
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: upstates the word we can't protect them now. I don't
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: think the Iranians want to get bombed again. So I
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: think that's kind of the predicate for a deal. But
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, every time he says we're
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: real close to one, it doesn't happen. So maybe it will.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I think that if it does, we'll end up just
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: trading the blockade for the Strait, and then a nuclear
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: thing will be a jump ball still, right, So I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: don't think it's a great situation.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: It's funny too because they still call it a cease fire.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yet we fired each other all the time, Supposedly we're
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: acting in self defense. And then you've got the Israeli
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Lebanon seasfire and Israel yesterday he leveled a whole bunch
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of cresbola, which I'm happy see in Lebanon. I've never
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: seen ceasefires with this much activity of you.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a technical, highly technical ceasefire, a couple of
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: love taps, as Trump says here or there. So I
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: think the thing that would be transformative is is if
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: we could just reopen the straight But clearly that's a difficult,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: protracted operation, risky operation that Trump doesn't want to do either.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: So again we're stuck.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: We are stuck. How do you feel about the midterms
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Same Republicans will lose the House. I think they'll I'm
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: positive that positive.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you would, you would bet you'd pay the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: whole bill at Kollari Me.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, wow, yeah, absolutely. Now, what you lose net
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: net three seats and then they'll gain like six from redistricting,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: so that's still just nine. That's a real thin margin.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Now there's not not not as many seats to play
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: with as there used to be because both sides of
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Jerry manners so much over the years. But I think
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: they'll definitely lose nine seats or whatever it is, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: then they need to hold the Senate. Losing the Senate
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: would be a total debacle.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: What's your prediction there.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I think they'll hold it. I think you do. Yeah,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: so if you assume the Nazi tattoo guy wins in Maine, oh.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I hate that guy. He's gonna grand Platner, that asshole
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is gonna win.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I think he could win. But just for the sake
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: of argument, let's say he wins and Republicans are definitely
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: gonna lose North Carolina. So then still to take the
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Senate the Democrats story, I would have to win two
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: out of four of Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Alaska. So
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: those are all red states. Maybe it happens, but it
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: seems unlikely to me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You know, now that you mentioned this plotner, I really
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: hate his cuts. And he's a veteran, and I love veterans.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I love them. But this guy's a horrible person.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's saying veterans deserve to die. Chris Kyle was
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: this and this guy was that. But you know, we
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: talked at the very start of this conversation about how
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: President Trump is still the publican party. Bottom line is,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you're running for office, he endorses you in a primary,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you win, And it's never been more evident than the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: last month. All of his candidates are basically winning. I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: got news for you that same effect, maybe not as much,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but it's there is happening with old communist Bernie Sanders.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: He's got this grand Platner, this ridiculous oligarchy tour, which
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: is silly because Bernie Sanders is worth millions and millions
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of dollars. He's the ultimate hypocrite. He's every bit as
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: bad as mom Donnie. But he's all over town with
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: this guy, Graham Platner, and that may be enough with
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: this idiot to win.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bernie no longer in vays against millionaires because he
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: is one, right now, billionaires who are terrible.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Oh that's what it is.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So the left, if you're the left most candidate
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: in these races, you're sitting pretty This guy in Michigan
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: who's terrible also Saeb I think his name is. He
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: seems very likely to win the center primary up there, Laker.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Is he another DSA terrorist sympathy Oh yeah, yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just like Hassan pip He campaigned with Hassan Piker.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think it was the first to do it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't laugh. I just it's just unbelievable
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: what's going on in this country and people are still
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: critical to Trump. I mean, God forbid, you know something
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: happens to Trump, God forbid Marco Rubio where I guess JD.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Vance doesn't win in twenty twenty eight, you can flush
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: this country right down the toilet, flush it.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the other thing Trump has done, he's holding
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: the center of the part of the Republican Party, right,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: so the anti Semites they can't win because Trump's not
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: an anti semi in the Republican Party, but they're sweeping
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: in the Democratic Party.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: And if Trump goes away, does that center still hold
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: in the Republican Party? I think it probably does, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be as certain of it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I am certain if it's Marco Rubio. I'm much
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: more certain with Marco than j D.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: You know, j D.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Don't forget most recently employed Tucker call since kid he
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: hangs out at the Ka Kirk thing. There's a bunch
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: of couple of jewel haters there. I'm not saying JD.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Van's is, but there's no question in my mind that
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio feels more about the Jews than J. D.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Van Saw's no question.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, j D. Some of those people like Tucker he
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: considers within his coalition, where Marco Marco is that that's
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: not the case.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: No, he wouldn't be seen dead with those people. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that's where j D. Famipaul shortened.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: That's why I'd love to see Marco as a condidate.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But it looks like Marco is resigned to JDB and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the guy. Maybe he'll be in the ticket, maybe he won't.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's some math. We go Trump then j D,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: then Marco. Maybe we got sixteen years of Republican presidents.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But Marco is saying all the right
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: things for JD. Van So you're going to say, how
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: about the next excited.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I'm just not enough of an NBA guy? Yeah, I
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: followed very loosely on my phone. And you know the
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: other night it was tied in the second quarter that
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I look at my phone fifteen minutes later, no killing
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: four point lead.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So did you were you like like Peter King for example,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: John me l at one point he was an NBA
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: ban NFL ban and he stopped because the players turned
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: out to be anti American and anti Semites.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And just horrible people.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Were you at one point an NBA ban and you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: stopped or never really tickled your fans.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: I've never liked it. I like college basketball. I don't
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: know what it is. I think just too much happens
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: in an NBA game and none of it is memorable
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: to me except for the last minute. Or I don't
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: know what it is. I just I've just never been
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: into it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Are you still a Virginia Cavalier fan?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I am?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And why is that? Why?
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I know it's just said the football the football team
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: is pretty good last year, and the basketball team is revived,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and the baseball team is great lacross and all that.
