Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of
- 0:07Speaker 1: respect for the.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Law on a need to know basis, because you need
- 0:11Speaker 2: to know the first thing today.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Jeword said, steal me step every day, at least for work.
- 0:20Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to scook
- 0:23Speaker 4: the night, joys everything, a dreamer, all the treasure.
- 0:27Speaker 5: Sat needs.
- 0:30Speaker 6: No one that Joe's smiled.
- 0:32Speaker 5: He only as you see. I was gonna say that,
- 0:37Speaker 5: and I knew it sounded creepy, but I thank you
- 0:43Speaker 5: for joining us on this Friday morning where I tell
- 0:45Speaker 5: you what went on last night and hold my tongue.
- 0:48Speaker 5: When I was going to make some allusion to the
- 0:51Speaker 5: movie Smoky in the Bandit as to who I might
- 0:55Speaker 5: be and who you might be. You are just here
- 0:58Speaker 5: because I will tell you what went on last night.
- 1:00Speaker 5: You don't need a ride anywhere. You can handle that yourself.
- 1:04Speaker 5: You can also tell us what is happening in your
- 1:07Speaker 5: world in relation to the news of the day. After
- 1:10Speaker 5: we've diced it up into easily digestible gummies, I will
- 1:14Speaker 5: tell you my analysis of it. We have some special
- 1:16Speaker 5: guests that folks expertise in the field and will add
- 1:20Speaker 5: to that. But I also want to hear how the
- 1:22Speaker 5: news is impacting youse at four three four eight eight
- 1:26Speaker 5: two four two one seven. You can text message, which
- 1:30Speaker 5: is very very popular because mornings are crazy and you
- 1:34Speaker 5: have time to text. You can just you know, hit
- 1:37Speaker 5: voice to text and holler whatever it is you want
- 1:39Speaker 5: to say to me and hit send and I will
- 1:41Speaker 5: do my Richard Burton best to read your lines for
- 1:46Speaker 5: you there. I don't know why Richard Burton's in my head,
- 1:48Speaker 5: but we got talking about nineteen eighty four and people
- 1:51Speaker 5: forget that. I believe the last film he ever appears in. There.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Got this text message yesterday and I forgot to get
- 2:01Speaker 5: to it. My bad Tony right writes and listens to
- 2:06Speaker 5: us in Greenwich on WGH and said, Joe, I believe
- 2:12Speaker 5: in what you say on Ted's Day. I get inspired
- 2:14Speaker 5: by it. I have to ask, though you always sound
- 2:17Speaker 5: so upbeat in the morning, don't you ever get tired?
- 2:20Speaker 5: I love what I do. I'm not going to tell
- 2:22Speaker 5: you what it is because people will be able to
- 2:24Speaker 5: figure out who I am, and I don't want to
- 2:26Speaker 5: get in trouble for listening to your program. But I
- 2:29Speaker 5: love what I do. It's just sometimes I feel like
- 2:32Speaker 5: I need a day off. Well, that's not wrong, Tony,
- 2:36Speaker 5: and actually that's a common thing we see this. Unfortunately,
- 2:40Speaker 5: it comes in association with caregivers. Like if you're talking
- 2:45Speaker 5: about somebody who's a caregiver of somebody Alzheimer's or any
- 2:51Speaker 5: affliction that requires round the clock care, those folks can
- 2:56Speaker 5: become very tired and then they're not doing their level
- 3:00Speaker 5: as a caregiver. So what you need to do is
- 3:03Speaker 5: to make sure that for your charges, for the people
- 3:07Speaker 5: who are counting on you to do whatever it is
- 3:09Speaker 5: you do mysteriously. And believe me, I have friends who
- 3:12Speaker 5: work for the Greenwich government, so relatives even just don't
- 3:17Speaker 5: tell them I said that live on the air. But
- 3:20Speaker 5: whatever it is you do, you're not serving the people
- 3:24Speaker 5: you want to serve. So it sounds like you've got
- 3:26Speaker 5: the Tennus idea of doing something for a grateful constituency.
- 3:30Speaker 5: You're not doing that at your best if you're tired,
- 3:35Speaker 5: and so you need to make sure that you're not
- 3:37Speaker 5: and that you get the requisite rest and recuperation so
- 3:43Speaker 5: that you can serve your grateful constituency the best us
- 3:47Speaker 5: what we do is we tell you what went on,
- 3:49Speaker 5: and here we go. Missile strikes Iran again just seemingly
- 3:54Speaker 5: shooting missiles at every Arabian country surrounding them, struck more
- 3:59Speaker 5: oil and natural gas facilities around the Gulf. By the way,
- 4:03Speaker 5: Cutter's liquefied natural gas facility was damaged to the percentage
- 4:10Speaker 5: of seventeen percent of its capability has been neutralized by
- 4:15Speaker 5: Iran's missile strikes. Israel has been targeting Iran's gas fields
- 4:21Speaker 5: in the South Pars region up until President Trump called
- 4:25Speaker 5: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said, please stop hitting
- 4:30Speaker 5: their natural gas and oil fields, and the Israelis have
- 4:33Speaker 5: done that.
- 4:34Speaker 2: So far.
- 4:35Speaker 5: US military has accelerated deployment of thousands of Marines and
- 4:39Speaker 5: sailors to the theater, sending troops in their officials have
- 4:44Speaker 5: told Newsmax. Federal prosecutors in Miami have subpoened former FBI
- 4:51Speaker 5: Director James Comey to take part in a Justice Department
- 4:55Speaker 5: investigation into Obama era intelligence officials and the Steele dossier
- 5:01Speaker 5: and other Russian collusion hoaxes that came of their collusion.
- 5:07Speaker 5: John Brennan has also been subpoenaed. Andrew McCabe, FBI counterintelligence
- 5:12Speaker 5: official Peter Struck, and his girlfriend Lisa Page, also an
- 5:16Speaker 5: FBI lawyer. US judge on Thursday said he would block
- 5:20Speaker 5: an effort by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior to
- 5:23Speaker 5: restrict medical providers from providing transgender surgeries and cares medicines
- 5:31Speaker 5: to minors. Mustafa Kasubi of Eugene, Oregon had been shopped
- 5:37Speaker 5: and then gave a ruling on behalf of nineteen states
- 5:40Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. Saying that the declaration by Kennedy
- 5:45Speaker 5: overstepped his authority and violated federal law. European Union lawmakers
- 5:51Speaker 5: voted Thursday to advanced legislation related to the EU US
- 5:56Speaker 5: trade deal, which everyone said was going to bring down
- 5:59Speaker 5: the world's again economy. Apparently not not entirely. Unlike mel
- 6:05Speaker 5: Brooks in History of the World Part One, we're going
- 6:08Speaker 5: to get to play Caesar's Palace on July eighth, and

- 9:02Speaker 11: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
- 9:05Speaker 11: mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
- 9:08Speaker 11: nestled in their display case, miniature donut ear rings. Oh yes, yes,
- 9:16Speaker 11: your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all day dessert food
- 9:19Speaker 11: made into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh my,
- 9:24Speaker 11: those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.

- 9:57Speaker 12: Exercise is hard, so was maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 12: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly type two
- 10:07Speaker 12: diabetes heart disease and stroke kill nearly a million people
- 10:11Speaker 12: a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable
- 10:14Speaker 12: with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating,
- 10:19Speaker 12: and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about your risk
- 10:23Speaker 12: for type two diabetes and heart disease, and if your
- 10:26Speaker 12: doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The reason so
- 10:31Speaker 12: many die is because not enough are willing to change.
- 10:35Speaker 12: You can stop it, starting right now. It's your life.

- 13:19Speaker 2: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 13:22Speaker 2: know the first thing today.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you infrastructure, highways,
- 13:36Speaker 5: train lines, pipelines. So, while this gathers the interest of
- 13:47Speaker 5: the international community, as I still think that President Trump's
- 13:59Speaker 5: future history is going to be in a lot of
- 14:02Speaker 5: ways tied in that to what happens next in the
- 14:11Speaker 5: Iran bottle and if the president is successful at stopping
- 14:23Speaker 5: the destruction of the oil fields in Iran and around now.
- 14:31Speaker 5: Yesterday Gavin Newsom in his own management of infrastructure at
- 14:39Speaker 5: a press conference yesterday, we'll get into this with some
- 14:41Speaker 5: of our friends from Sea. Fact, the Committee for Constructive
- 14:46Speaker 5: tomorrow Sable Offshore Corp. Has restarted an oil pipeline. And
- 14:58Speaker 5: here's the interesting thing. Gavin Newsom, fancying himself a president,
- 15:03Speaker 5: did you see Probably not. You're counting got me to
- 15:07Speaker 5: tell you about what I saw? Well, here's what I see.
- 15:09Speaker 5: I saw a poll that said, even still today, taking
- 15:15Speaker 5: the less is more approach. Kamala Harris has actually grown
- 15:21Speaker 5: in support amongst Democrats for the twenty twenty eight nomination.
- 15:26Speaker 5: Nari to be seen Barack Obama's favorite, Abigail Spanberger. She
- 15:31Speaker 5: gets thirty one percent of the Democrats polled as sixty.
- 15:35Speaker 5: I think Spamberger's name may have been on the list.
- 15:38Speaker 5: It's just way way down. Gavin Newsom only getting sixteen
- 15:44Speaker 5: percent of the support. Everyone else single digits there. Gavin
- 15:49Speaker 5: Newsom fancying himself presidential upon the announcement of the oil
- 15:58Speaker 5: beginning to flow through the Sable Offshore Court pipeline. Instead
- 16:10Speaker 5: of saying this is horrible, Oh my gosh, the baby
- 16:14Speaker 5: harp seals said Donald Trump can't touch this. No truth.
- 16:21Speaker 5: I haven't seen video, but I've heard rumbling that after
- 16:25Speaker 5: he said that Donald Trump couldn't touch this, he broke
- 16:27Speaker 5: into mc hammer's famous dance of the same name, complete
- 16:34Speaker 5: with the baggy sweatpants and everything. But this is what
- 16:41Speaker 5: I mean about counter trump Ism. And if you Trump
- 16:47Speaker 5: derangement symbol sing Trump derangement syndrome. If you ever want
- 16:56Speaker 5: to know what it is, it's you just watch these
- 16:58Speaker 5: folks who are again against something vehemently. And then as
- 17:03Speaker 5: soon as Donald Trump wants at it. They therefore it.
- 17:08Speaker 1: I don't know what they have to say. It makes
- 17:10Speaker 1: no difference in anyway. Whatever it is, I'm against it.
- 17:15Speaker 1: What about it is or who commenced it, I'm against it.
- 17:19Speaker 5: That's Gavin Newsom, so you know he would normally be
- 17:22Speaker 5: all against a pipeline, except now he gets oh Trump
- 17:26Speaker 5: wants this. He We'll make sure mister T doesn't get
- 17:31Speaker 5: his grubby mits on our pipeline and our oil. It's
- 17:36Speaker 5: Californians oil. Thought the Californians had no interest in oil,
- 17:41Speaker 5: that the Californians were all driving their vehicles on reconstituted
- 17:45Speaker 5: unicorn flatulence. Gav, what's this zeal to protect a pipeline
- 17:53Speaker 5: that actually burst? I mean, this is one. This is like,
- 17:57Speaker 5: is somebody pick a leftist governor in the Golf. Do
- 18:00Speaker 5: we have any leftist governors in the Gulf? I guess
- 18:03Speaker 5: Louisiana's governor. You're getting out there and saying you can't
- 18:07Speaker 5: have the deep water horizon. Io, this is ours or
- 18:15Speaker 5: touring the ninth Ward saying I think we could do
- 18:17Speaker 5: affordable housing here. Again, but we'll get further into the issue.
- 18:24Speaker 5: But infrastructure is important, and we brought up Trump and
- 18:28Speaker 5: getting Israel to cease blowing up Iranian oil fields earlier
- 18:35Speaker 5: in the program, and this is going to be a
- 18:39Speaker 5: I believe, a juncture point in the affairs of state.
- 18:45Speaker 5: What happens next, And of course the leakers calling newsmax.
- 18:49Speaker 5: And in the story about the marines heading to the
- 18:52Speaker 5: golf there's no nuance to it. And I'm not a
- 18:57Speaker 5: military expert, but I know that we've been there for
- 18:59Speaker 5: a few few months now and there might be marines
- 19:03Speaker 5: that need to rotate out. Just saying there's a boat
- 19:07Speaker 5: full of marines heading for the Gulf doesn't mean anything
- 19:10Speaker 5: except somebody's Heini is going to get kicked real soon.
- 19:16Speaker 5: But the squeaking leakers, the Vindmann crowd that's calling newsmax,
- 19:23Speaker 5: I will give some credence to the fact that they
- 19:26Speaker 5: called Newsmax with it, not the New York Times. So
- 19:32Speaker 5: whoever leaked it probably is doing it on the authority
- 19:35Speaker 5: of those in charge, saying go ahead, tell them what
- 19:38Speaker 5: we're doing. But President Trump's call to stop bombing the
- 19:46Speaker 5: oil fields indicates to me anyway your results can vary
- 19:50Speaker 5: as they always do, indicates to me that he wants
- 19:56Speaker 5: Iran to be able to function as an economy after
- 20:00Speaker 5: this is all said and done, and they don't have
- 20:04Speaker 5: you know, empty natural gas reserves and things like that,
- 20:13Speaker 5: because you know, sure you can bomb all the oil
- 20:16Speaker 5: fields and then the country collapses and it's a client
- 20:18Speaker 5: state forever with with really no nothing more than its
- 20:23Speaker 5: position as its great wealth. You wanted to have wealth.
- 20:28Speaker 5: I like doctor Clark's thought. We have the clip. Doctor
- 20:31Speaker 5: Clark was talking with us earlier, a marine himself, and
- 20:37Speaker 5: you know, had a thought on, you know, what should
- 20:42Speaker 5: come next?
- 20:43Speaker 20: We have that, why not just send the marines that
- 20:45Speaker 20: are headed that way in there right now? Well, that'd
- 20:48Speaker 20: be boots on the ground.
- 20:51Speaker 21: Already.
- 20:51Speaker 20: What we're doing in Iran is an existential threat to China.
- 20:57Speaker 20: If we're going to take Cargo Island, that ram set
- 21:00Speaker 20: up considerably. And you know, we really don't want the
- 21:07Speaker 20: current regime to surrender because then the current regime is
- 21:14Speaker 20: still there.
- 21:16Speaker 9: What we really really want is for.
- 21:19Speaker 20: The Persian people to take their country back.
- 21:23Speaker 9: And that's what we want for g Island right now.
- 21:26Speaker 20: It cripples the current regime and they probably surrender and
- 21:30Speaker 20: we don't get the new government in place.
- 21:33Speaker 5: I hear you, so good stuff, good well thought out.
- 21:36Speaker 5: There you go. You stuck the landing. Thank you, sir.
- 21:39Speaker 20: All right, take care.
- 21:41Speaker 5: So it's a cargo island, the processing facility there, the
- 21:48Speaker 5: shipping port, the New Jersey to Iran's oil industry where
- 21:54Speaker 5: the refineries are, and all that is that key. Do
- 21:56Speaker 5: we occupy that? Do we take that? And then say
- 21:59Speaker 5: because they've said if you.
- 22:01Speaker 22: Do, Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for
- 22:04Speaker 22: Planet Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we
- 22:07Speaker 22: all get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of
- 22:10Speaker 22: moderate aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the
- 22:13Speaker 22: thing that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need
- 22:15Speaker 22: to be super intense. As a matter of fact, it

- 30:14Speaker 29: this is March. This is this is what March does.
- 30:18Speaker 29: And you know, I'm really proud of these guys. I've
- 30:22Speaker 29: said it a number of times, like they make a
- 30:24Speaker 29: mediocre coach look good. And it's because of these guys
- 30:27Speaker 29: and really proud of them, and.
- 30:31Speaker 5: A lost lost in all this is this guy's pedigree.
- 30:34Speaker 5: How many Saint Joe's teams did this guy's dad bring
- 30:38Speaker 5: into the big dance?
- 30:40Speaker 30: Oh?
- 30:40Speaker 5: This this is when I realized he was coaching. And
- 30:43Speaker 5: of course my daughter not a big basketball fan, but
- 30:45Speaker 5: a VCU alumni, but I had no idea that Phil
- 30:49Speaker 5: Junior was coaching VCU now, and I was happy for him,
- 30:54Speaker 5: aside from the fact that I've got well after all
- 30:56Speaker 5: the money I spent, I have some VCU coffee mugs
- 31:00Speaker 5: to drink out of this morning.
- 31:02Speaker 13: Yeah, it was with the win, VC who completed the
- 31:05Speaker 13: sixth largest comeback in NCAA tournamentistry really the largest and
- 31:10Speaker 13: the largest comeback ever in the first round.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Wow.
- 31:14Speaker 5: And there were a lot, I mean, there were a
- 31:15Speaker 5: lot of mini upsets where like the lower seed team,
- 31:19Speaker 5: I mean it was a high point.
- 31:22Speaker 13: Well, I'm gonna throw those things I don't want to
- 31:24Speaker 13: before we get to a coach claiman From my point,
- 31:29Speaker 13: Nebraska won its first tournament game in eighty seven years,
- 31:33Speaker 13: So give it up to Nebraska. So pretty big stuff.
- 31:37Speaker 13: But UNC scored just five points in the final seven
- 31:40Speaker 13: to eleven of regulation, didn't score in overtime until a
- 31:43Speaker 13: free throw with two minutes to go, It didn't hit
- 31:45Speaker 13: a field goal in the extra session. It added up
- 31:47Speaker 13: to a dramatic collapse that will you know, they'll talk
- 31:49Speaker 13: about for a long time. And Hubert and you know,
- 31:52Speaker 13: the writers of course didn't know how to handle it.
- 31:54Speaker 13: I was just now listening to the Hubert Davis press conference. Coach,
- 32:00Speaker 13: why didn't you score in the last five minutes? He
- 32:04Speaker 13: just goes, sometimes the ball didn't go in. Okay, you
- 32:07Speaker 13: know you do game, you do? And how about the now?
- 32:11Speaker 13: How do you feel about the program overall? Where does this?
- 32:14Speaker 13: It's like you were, goes, like, I'm thinking about that now.
- 32:18Speaker 13: I mean I go that, he goes, that's a bigger picture,
- 32:20Speaker 13: he goes, I apologize. That's a bigger picture question that
- 32:24Speaker 13: will take some time to answer. And you got to
- 32:25Speaker 13: give him. You gotta given credit. Okay. With all that
- 32:28Speaker 13: going on, of course I didn't. I really didn't think
- 32:31Speaker 13: Duke was going to lose it. And the fact that
- 32:33Speaker 13: Sienna was playing just five guys the entire game, and
- 32:38Speaker 13: they were, you know, their legs were wobbling like you
- 32:40Speaker 13: know a Western movie that had they been filming all day.
- 32:44Speaker 13: It was just they they had no they had nothing left.
- 32:48Speaker 13: And so Duke stormed great. You know, they outscored him
- 32:51Speaker 13: by what seventeen eighteen the second half and ended up winning.
- 32:54Speaker 13: So but they were pushed and they came from thirteen
- 32:57Speaker 13: back hildup Siana seventy one sixty five. So now but
- 33:00Speaker 13: then High Point B Wisconsin. Yes, today with all this
- 33:02Speaker 13: going on, so this this was great. The twelve seeded
- 33:05Speaker 13: Panthers knocked off Wisconsin eighty three eighty two, the Big
- 33:09Speaker 13: South Tournament champs trail by seven.
- 33:11Speaker 5: So this is first.
- 33:14Speaker 13: Flynn claiman is the head coach. All right. This was
- 33:17Speaker 13: right after the game. This was his first attack of uh,
- 33:21Speaker 13: you know, he just he wants to change mat drinks
- 33:23Speaker 13: and scheduling. This was the first take. Okay, it looks
- 33:26Speaker 13: pretty obvious to me that high majency to play mid
- 33:29Speaker 13: majors are in the seas because they said, we aren't
- 33:30Speaker 13: played nobody.
- 33:31Speaker 5: We played somebody, now how to do it?
- 33:34Speaker 31: Feels unreal, no good of a chake we had, but
- 33:36Speaker 31: nobody would play us.
- 33:38Speaker 5: Just like they wouldn't play miamielhile. But they gotta playoffs.
- 33:40Speaker 13: In this tournament.
- 33:41Speaker 5: Fortune went down by ten early on. What changed were
- 33:46Speaker 5: not settle in the settled in. We got a hell
- 33:48Speaker 5: of a tech.
- 33:50Speaker 13: So and they were doing a talent he said, okay,
- 33:53Speaker 13: they were celebrated, but he used so then of course,
- 33:56Speaker 13: you know, he calmed down. He had to scowl on
- 33:58Speaker 13: his face like so he he calms down, and he
- 34:02Speaker 13: goes to the press room, and it just the narrative
- 34:06Speaker 13: continued here, and.
- 34:07Speaker 32: It's pretty obvious to me that something needs to be
- 34:10Speaker 32: done about this non conference scheduling. High Point in Miami,
- 34:13Speaker 32: Ohio or two to oh one quad one games. We
- 34:15Speaker 32: couldn't get games. They couldn't get games. Akron couldn't get games.
- 34:18Speaker 32: UNCW couldn't get games. Belmont couldn't get games. We won
- 34:22Speaker 32: twenty two of our last twenty three games, and we
- 34:24Speaker 32: didn't move up one spot in the metrics, not one.
- 34:26Speaker 32: We won twenty two of our twenty three. We've won
- 34:29Speaker 32: twenty five games by double digits. That team, right there
- 34:33Speaker 32: is a fantastic team. That'd be five top ten teams.
- 34:36Speaker 32: If we can get games like this on neutral courts
- 34:38Speaker 32: and some home games. I think we know who's really
- 34:40Speaker 32: the best teams. I'm proud of these dudes. We're not
- 34:42Speaker 32: just here to win one game. We're here to get
- 34:44Speaker 32: to sweet sixteen.
- 34:45Speaker 5: All right, Well, you can.
- 34:47Speaker 13: Scratch Flynn claiming off any carousel list. You know people, Hey, Flynn,
- 34:53Speaker 13: calmed down, this is not the you know, well, that's
- 34:57Speaker 13: what you.
- 34:58Speaker 5: Want your head coach to sound like. You don't want
- 35:01Speaker 5: you know, North krack Alect, NC States guy.
- 35:04Speaker 13: Yeah, he sucked really bad.
- 35:06Speaker 5: You know, you know you want him to be all different. Guys,
- 35:10Speaker 5: we're going.
- 35:10Speaker 13: Into a six for six weeks. We've been studying it.
- 35:13Speaker 13: You know, hey, good, you should have been studying it
- 35:15Speaker 13: since last summer.
- 35:17Speaker 5: My big disappointment, though, uh, and I was looking forward
- 35:20Speaker 5: to this was you see, my my daughter's boyfriend also
- 35:25Speaker 5: went to Virginia Commonwealth University, right, and he's about to
- 35:29Speaker 5: go study postgraduate at the University of Pennsylvania. So I
- 35:34Speaker 5: was hoping that.
- 35:35Speaker 13: They got kicked.
- 35:36Speaker 9: I know it was.
- 35:37Speaker 5: It was close. I mean, they were within forty.
- 35:42Speaker 13: But I was I was, no, they were so bad
- 35:44Speaker 13: they had a free throw block. Oh really all right?
- 35:48Speaker 5: All right, the coaches on the phone saying stop stealing
- 35:51Speaker 5: my lines.
- 35:52Speaker 20: Uh.
- 35:53Speaker 5: But yeah, I was hoping that penn could survive and
- 35:55Speaker 5: upset Illinois. Not because you know, we got some great
- 35:59Speaker 5: listeners in Chicago that we're rooting for the l I
- 36:01Speaker 5: and I but I just wanted to see my my
- 36:04Speaker 5: future son in law. Oops. So I said that out loud.
- 36:07Speaker 5: But my daughter's boyfriend have to decide. Do I root
- 36:10Speaker 5: for VCU or Penn because he's off to Penn next
- 36:14Speaker 5: year to study in postgraduate lands.
- 36:16Speaker 13: So and with everything else, the Virginia women did win,
- 36:21Speaker 13: that's right. A couple of players, yeah, more tons and
- 36:24Speaker 13: it's a three thirty seconds ago. It was their first
- 36:26Speaker 13: for I mean, it was their first NCAA win in
- 36:30Speaker 13: eight years, so, you know, good for them. And if
- 36:34Speaker 13: that's not enough, in Miami, Luka Doncics goes for sixty.
- 36:38Speaker 13: The Lakers beat the Heat one thirty twenty six. If
- 36:41Speaker 13: that wasn't enough to you know, just to wet your
- 36:44Speaker 13: appetite for the for the weekend, so it ought to
- 36:47Speaker 13: be good in day two. I mean really Day one
- 36:51Speaker 13: was just I've said, oh, I'm going to get some
- 36:53Speaker 13: work done, and again some work done, I'm going to
- 36:55Speaker 13: watch a little bit of this game. And I started
- 36:56Speaker 13: to flip over and I got to give I'm going
- 36:59Speaker 13: to give a little plug too, because YouTube tv is
- 37:02Speaker 13: a fact, you know, ever since I found them when
- 37:04Speaker 13: Spectrum dropped ESPN a year or a couple of years ago,
- 37:08Speaker 13: and we almost lost a football weekend, the opening football
- 37:11Speaker 13: weekend and went to YouTube TV. It was just like
- 37:13Speaker 13: having a sports bar in my house because I was
- 37:17Speaker 13: I was able to go four games two games. I mean,
- 37:20Speaker 13: I had complete control. And if sports bars could be
- 37:23Speaker 13: as good as I can in my living room, you
- 37:25Speaker 13: know they would be making a lot of money. But
- 37:27Speaker 13: it's just a fabulous format in this situation because you
- 37:30Speaker 13: can get true TV and TBS side by side and
- 37:33Speaker 13: you don't have to like search and it's just okay,
- 37:35Speaker 13: So enough of my TV stuff.
- 37:37Speaker 5: Well, oh that's good. A lot of people can't judge
- 37:40Speaker 5: where my social media team is trying to get us
- 37:44Speaker 5: on YouTube as well. Not quite as big as the
- 37:47Speaker 5: NCAA tournament. But anyway, all this brought to you by

- 44:55Speaker 5: all the usual suspects. Former Chair of the House Freedom
- 44:59Speaker 5: Concuss Bob Good, Good morning Bob. How are you doing, sir?
- 45:03Speaker 34: Morning Joe, Happy Friday, my friend.
- 45:05Speaker 5: Happy Friday to you know. We were talking about your
- 45:07Speaker 5: old buddy Kevin McCarthy yesterday because we were talking about
- 45:12Speaker 5: hearings and hearings that people didn't want to call. And
- 45:17Speaker 5: one of our loyal listeners. Kareem, we were talking about,
- 45:21Speaker 5: you know, the insistence that there be hearings held with
- 45:26Speaker 5: Joe Kent and all these other folks on the incursion
- 45:31Speaker 5: in Iran, the bombardment there. And I said, I don't
- 45:33Speaker 5: remember anyone holding the Biden crowd accountable for that awful
- 45:39Speaker 5: disaster in Afghanistan. I know a lot of folks said
- 45:43Speaker 5: it was bad, but I don't remember any hearings. I
- 45:45Speaker 5: don't remember his Director of National Intelligence being called in
- 45:49Speaker 5: and on the carpet by the Congress to defend their
- 45:52Speaker 5: decisions to abandon Afghanistan.
- 45:55Speaker 34: Bob, No, they didn't. No one was fired for that debacle.
- 46:00Speaker 34: No one was fired for that embarrassment. No one was
- 46:03Speaker 34: held accountable in the administration, or for that matter, in
- 46:06Speaker 34: the Joint chiefs or in the military leadership for what
- 46:11Speaker 34: surely encouraged other adversaries to take action against US has
- 46:17Speaker 34: and created some of the climate that President Trump is
- 46:19Speaker 34: trying to work through now as he reasserts the unique
- 46:24Speaker 34: role of the United States has to play as the
- 46:27Speaker 34: world's number one superpower.
- 46:29Speaker 5: So I think a key moment happened yesterday when President
- 46:34Speaker 5: Trump called Prime Minister Netanyahu and said, please stop bombing
- 46:38Speaker 5: their oil and natural gas fields. And I don't know
- 46:42Speaker 5: why yet. My presumption is is because he wants Iran
- 46:46Speaker 5: to come to the table to waive the white flag,
- 46:49Speaker 5: but also wants them to be able to survive as
- 46:52Speaker 5: a country. I mean, if you blow up all their
- 46:54Speaker 5: natural resources, then they're not much more than a trade
- 46:57Speaker 5: stopover is was or am I over reading the tea
- 47:02Speaker 5: leaves in this call to Netahu to stop bombing the
- 47:06Speaker 5: natural gas fields in Iran.
- 47:09Speaker 34: Well, first of all, that it betrays the I believe
- 47:14Speaker 34: the inaccurate contention by many that Israel's calling the shots,
- 47:18Speaker 34: Israel's leading US. Trump is following net and I have
- 47:21Speaker 34: to have great respect for Netnau. I think he's a
- 47:23Speaker 34: tremendous leader. I think he's a leader that Israel needs,
- 47:26Speaker 34: and I think they are our number one ally on
- 47:29Speaker 34: the world stage and a very important US But you know,
- 47:31Speaker 34: people will suggest that we got led into this war
- 47:34Speaker 34: by Israel, that Israel leading us along, and I think
- 47:36Speaker 34: that's wrong. But that said, I think there's a number
- 47:39Speaker 34: of reasons why the President would be concerned about attacks
- 47:42Speaker 34: on their infrastructure. Number one, we're going to sort of
- 47:44Speaker 34: take control of the oil I suspect we're kind of
- 47:47Speaker 34: going to manage who it's sold to and under what
- 47:50Speaker 34: conditions it sold. I think that's inevitable that's going to happen.
- 47:53Speaker 34: It's already happening to some degree with the obviously the
- 47:58Speaker 34: reduced production into tribution that's naturally occurring as a result
- 48:02Speaker 34: of the war. But I think you want to maintain
- 48:04Speaker 34: the ability for it to be viable going forward. I
- 48:06Speaker 34: think they're a president wants to also try to reduce
- 48:10Speaker 34: Iran's retaliation towards other Arab nations in the region. Obviously
- 48:16Speaker 34: that's still going on in Iran's trying to inflict as
- 48:18Speaker 34: much pain and suffering as they can, as much harm
- 48:20Speaker 34: as they can. I think it's having the opposite effect
- 48:23Speaker 34: of what they might desire, because I think it's motivating
- 48:27Speaker 34: more nations to come alongside the US and support the
- 48:31Speaker 34: replacement of the regime, or the at least the diminishment
- 48:35Speaker 34: of the regime. So I think the president has a
- 48:38Speaker 34: number of reasons why he would not want the infrastructure
- 48:41Speaker 34: for the Iran's oil capability to be destroyed.
- 48:45Speaker 5: Do you think it was a good idea because a
- 48:48Speaker 5: lot of people are complaining. Funny enough, some of the
- 48:50Speaker 5: same people who are saying we should be taking Russia's
- 48:52Speaker 5: side in their invasion of Ukraine, saying it was bad
- 48:56Speaker 5: to lift the sanctions or ease the sanctions on Russian oil.
- 49:00Speaker 5: I just saw yesterday he's also easing the sanction on
- 49:02Speaker 5: Venezuela and oil, which I think is a country we're
- 49:05Speaker 5: trying to promote better behavior from.
- 49:09Speaker 34: Yeah, I don't like the easing of the sanctions on
- 49:12Speaker 34: the Russian oil because I think that's being done for
- 49:16Speaker 34: economic reasons, to try to keep the oil price from
- 49:19Speaker 34: going up as much as a result of the action
- 49:21Speaker 34: that we're taking in Iran. And my concern there would
- 49:24Speaker 34: be that it's enhancing Putan's ability to fund his war.
- 49:30Speaker 34: That's a primary driver of their economic engine, if you will,
- 49:35Speaker 34: And so you know, I don't want to send more
- 49:38Speaker 34: customers to Russia to help them finance their war with Ukraine.
- 49:42Speaker 34: China needs another place to buy their energy, to buy
- 49:45Speaker 34: their oil, and they were a RAN's primary customer and
- 49:48Speaker 34: now they're just an even greater customer of Russia as
- 49:51Speaker 34: a result. So I actually don't like easing the sanctions
- 49:54Speaker 34: on the Russian oil.
- 49:55Speaker 5: Well, at the end of the day, though, I still
- 49:57Speaker 5: think this has a triangulation of fact me between Venezuela
- 50:01Speaker 5: and now Iran, of all places, I think China and
- 50:06Speaker 5: is becoming more isolated from their little world, you know,
- 50:10Speaker 5: the Brick Bank association that they were trying to develop.
- 50:14Speaker 5: Is all of this really sending a message to Beijing?
- 50:17Speaker 5: I think the president is heading there next month.
- 50:19Speaker 34: Well, I don't know what the President's exact intention with
- 50:23Speaker 34: that was relative to just a concern with a threat
- 50:27Speaker 34: presented by Iran. However, undoubtedly it has had the residual
- 50:32Speaker 34: benefit of You're seeing increasing reports that China is in
- 50:37Speaker 34: a panic as a result of what we've done. They
- 50:39Speaker 34: didn't believe we would have the nerve to attack Iran.
- 50:42Speaker 34: They didn't believe we would have the ability to overwhelm
- 50:45Speaker 34: them to the degree that we have. Apparently the Chinese
- 50:49Speaker 34: weapons aren't working against us to the degree that they
- 50:51Speaker 34: thought they would, that Iran has been employing against us,
- 50:54Speaker 34: and there's reports how Iran excuse me, China is, you know,
- 50:59Speaker 34: is afraid of an uprising in their own country. They're
- 51:01Speaker 34: afraid of their military turning against them. And I think
- 51:05Speaker 34: that Russia has you know, you think about the allies
- 51:08Speaker 34: of China, Russia, and now Iran have been exposed as
- 51:11Speaker 34: not being as potent of military forces as they were
- 51:14Speaker 34: represented to be before the war in Ukraine and before the.
- 51:17Speaker 6: War in Iran.
- 51:18Speaker 5: So Bob Goodan, with his host of the Good for
- 51:20Speaker 5: America podcasts, I want to pivot and talk about both
- 51:25Speaker 5: the Save Act and DHS. Insisted on DHS hearings on
- 51:30Speaker 5: Mark Wayne Mullen. Yet they can't get together to pass
- 51:33Speaker 5: a budget for the department. They're trying to decide whether
- 51:36Speaker 5: he should lead or not. Isn't this the cart before
- 51:40Speaker 5: the horse? Get get a budget for DHS for heaven's sake.
- 51:44Speaker 34: Yes, the Democrats continue to be obviously seriously derelict and
- 51:50Speaker 34: the responsibility of the federal government to protect the safety
- 51:55Speaker 34: and security of its citizens. And here we've got enhanced,
- 51:58Speaker 34: greater threats at home. We're on alert as a result
- 52:01Speaker 34: of the warren Iran. We've had some four or five
- 52:04Speaker 34: terrorists like attacks in our country, small scale relatively speaking,
- 52:09Speaker 34: but connected to radical Islam. We're on greater risk today.
- 52:15Speaker 34: And so for the Democrats to refuse to fund those
- 52:18Speaker 34: who keep us safe, Coast Guard, Secret Service, obviously Border Patrol, ice,
- 52:26Speaker 34: not to mention FEMA and TSA, and it costs so
- 52:29Speaker 34: much harm. It just shows who the Democrats are. That said,
- 52:34Speaker 34: you know, I'm not thrilled with the nomination of Mark Layemullin.
- 52:38Speaker 34: I don't think he's qualified. I agree that he doesn't
- 52:41Speaker 34: have the right temperament. This is a guy who tried
- 52:43Speaker 34: to have a fight in a Senate hearing with the
- 52:45Speaker 34: union boss.
- 52:46Speaker 31: Oh I remember that man. Yeah, and a lot of
- 52:48Speaker 31: folks like that one. Bob Good on with us. My
- 52:51Speaker 31: name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my leg
