UCLA Women's Basketball Experience
00:02:45
Speaker
Let's kick this bad boy off. All right, first of all, you know how we do it. You see see the cap.
00:02:54
Speaker
You see it, so let me hit you with a little cold open yesterday. My mom, my angel, she went with me because I didn't have nobody to go with me to the game to watch the number number one UCLA Bruins women's basketball team face the number eight Maryland Lady Terrapins. What an amazing game. We did a little bit of reporting me and my mom, so I'm gonna ah Throw that on there and I'll show the first half now and the second half later. But it was a great game. UCLA obviously dominated. You see the cap still number one in the nation. Check out a little bit of this video.
00:03:32
Speaker
And so what we're doing, what we're at in the beginning is about the animals. so god professor
00:03:44
Speaker
here at the
00:03:48
Speaker
if you maryly until
00:04:13
Speaker
I'll leave you off with Testudo dancing a little bit. I just wanted to show you the beginning of that. We'll come back to that throughout the program, but yeah.
College Sports Rankings Overview
00:04:21
Speaker
Did some reporting from their Lauren Betts absolute domination for the UCLA Bruins So let's get into that our women's college basketball power rankings for the week again last night UCLA like ah Lady Bruins defeated the Maryland Lady Terrapins 82 to 67 off of an amazing game and by Lauren Betts. Lauren Betts is the best player in the country, in my opinion, um might be a little biased there. You got Paige Becker, you got Juju Watkins, you got some others out there. They're really good. But Lauren Betts is just a dominant force in the post post. She's bigger than everybody else. No one can really guard her at all. She dominates as well, grabbing the boards. She's a great outlet passer, kind of like Kevin Love for a big girl, for a big
00:05:10
Speaker
tall girl, not, you know what, let's not get any further into that. That's not what I meant. Anyways, UCLA is now 20 and oh, I firmly believe they are going to win the championship this year. So then I can see, say I saw another one of my teams live when they won the championship. But number two, the South Carolina Lady excuse me, they were, they have already been beaten by UCLA this year, but would be the most formidable opponent for UCLA to see in the championship. You also have Notre Dame,
00:05:40
Speaker
17 and 2 in your number 3 spot at number 4 the F USC Trojan condoms at 18 and 1 if we see them I Would make some other sounds actually. Oh wait. I got one. I forgot I keep forgetting to have this soundboard you're going down F USC
00:05:59
Speaker
Anyways, and then at number five, hot take Jake's Lady Longhorns from Texas with a 20 and two record. Yukon is right there. 19 and two at number six and LSU as well. Uh, you know, Kim, uh, Kim, what is her malarkey? Not malarkey. That's a Joe Biden word. That's hilarious. Um, uh, why am I blanking on her last name right now? Kim.
00:06:20
Speaker
the coach for LSU, the great coach. I don't know why I'm blanking our names. 21-1. Anyways, they are there. Moving on to men's college basketball, number one Auburn still holding the top spot. They now got Johnny Brown or Joni Brown back, excuse me, um and he is their best player. He's going to be the national basketball player of the year, most likely this year. They are at 18-1 in the number one position. Duke with Cooper flag the number one presumptive number one NBA pick at 17 and two there in the number two spot. Iowa State cyclones at number three, then you got the Alabama Clemson tied at number four with a 17 and three record and then
00:07:00
Speaker
rounding out the top five are the Florida Gators with an 18 and two record. That is your men's college but basketball rankings for the week.
NHL and NBA Rankings
00:07:10
Speaker
We move into NHL rankings for the week. Number one, here in the DMV, the commanders may have gone down and we will talk about that here in a few minutes. But the Capitals are reigning on top of the NHL power rankings, sitting at the number one spot with 32 wins, 10 losses,
00:07:29
Speaker
and five ties we all know as we've talked about here on this program the OV watch is on uh chasing after Gretzky it does not look like after he's had a few games without a goal now that he is going to break that record this year but he would definitely return next year to break the record so eventually God forbid any injuries, he will break that record as a Gretzky fan, the great one. I don't personally want him to break it, but I've always said if anyone was going to break it, I'd rather it be Ovechkin because i'm I'm from here and I know how much he means to this city and how good of a player he is. So number two, your Winnipeg Jets 32 wins 14 losses, three draws. The Vegas Golden Knights at 29 wins 14 losses, four draws. At number four, the Edmonton Oilers 29 wins 15 losses.
00:08:16
Speaker
three draws and at number five, the Toronto Maple leaves 30 wins, 17 losses and two draws. Moving on to your NBA power rankings for the week.
00:08:29
Speaker
The number one team this week according to MBA.com is the Oklahoma City Thunder with a 37 and 8 record SGA went off the other day having 54 just dropping it on the head SGA right now is locked in a tight battle with Jokic and if Jokic wasn't having the best season of his career Which is hard to say with the past few seasons um This will be all SGA's award, but we're gonna see how it goes down the stretch I am super super excited to see that and actually yeah I want to break that down for y'all real quick. I went out and procured the statistics for these two gentlemen that are in our MBA MVP race and so I kind of just wanted to break it down a little bit. So let's first look at SGA
00:09:19
Speaker
So SGA is averaging as of ah the all-star voting and to the all-star voting last Tuesday. This is when I got got these stats. 31.5 points per game, six assists, and five rebounds on 53% shooting field goal. Now his three-point percentage is obviously something that needs to be improved and has been a bugaboo for him so far in his young career but man he is doing everything that you would want your star player your star guard to to do and he has a true shooting percentage of 64 percent and he would be the first player to average 31 six and five with that true shooting percentage
00:10:00
Speaker
of 64 better the oklahoma city are 19 points better when he's on the floor versus negative 0.6 points when he's off so that pretty much proves how valuable he is to that team looking at yokich yokich is no no no shab at all here listen to this even i mean technically he's a center so he's gonna have more rebounds anyways but he even has more assists than sda he's averaging four more assists than sda ten assists a game and 13 rebounds wow just the fact that Jokic has had multiple o MVP awards over the past few years and just continues to get better is just mind-blowing because I didn't think that a person of uh when I say this with all uh due respect and love sir I love your game he's the most athletic looking obviously he's very athletic and very ah graceful and and and and strong but from the looks of him right he's not
00:11:00
Speaker
the most athletic looking person so to be able to do what he does is otherworldly in my opinion. ah Denver is plus 12 and a half with him on the floor and listen to this minus 11 points when he's on the bench That is a 33-point differential versus shy SGAs, which is only 19. Also, Jokic as a center, the non-athletic, as we said, center, although he is just not looking, is second, I repeat, second in the league in three-point shooting for a center, mind blown.
00:11:46
Speaker
um So, Yeah, thank you little John say it again. Yes, ah Houston Rockets coming in at number two with ah sorry in the number two spot with a 30 wins and 14 losses at number three. The Cleveland Cavaliers 36 wins and nine losses. They actually lost three straight games for the first time this season, so that's what's knocked them down a little bit in our rankings at number four. My Boston Celtics with 32 wins.
00:12:17
Speaker
14 losses and at number five the Memphis Grizzlies 31 wins 15 losses those are your NBA standings thank y'all for tuning in yes make sure you hit that like button if you are watching appreciate the support help us out there in the algorithm as well make sure you're subscribed to ball and buds b a l l a n d b u d s we will have our political strategist amul madan on here in about 15 minutes or so let me get through the sports and entertainment wmba offseason a blockbuster three team trade the seattle storm are trading six time all-star jewel loyd to the
00:12:59
Speaker
former back-to-back champion, Las Vegas Aces, who are sending back, or who are sending out rather, Kelsey Plum to the Los Angeles Sparks. The Storm will receive the number two pick in the draft for trading away Jewel Lloyd. This is a crazy deal because this will be the first time in WNBA history, excuse me,
00:13:23
Speaker
that a trade has involved multiple number one round picks when you're looking at Jewell Lloyd and you're looking at Kelsey Pham. Now, one of the reasons this ah this is a bigger trade is not just because they're two great players and two former number round one picks, but there was a lawsuit filed by Jewell Lloyd and her camp against uh against the the seattle storm alleging harassment and bullying but the judgment came back after an internal investigation and found no wrongdoing by the organization and at that point that relationship is kind of uh you know in in in splinters at that point and they did what they had to do and they traded
00:14:15
Speaker
you know, ah ah a great player to a team that it's only going to make them better. Now, Jewel Lloyd goes to join Asia Wilson, Chelsea gray and Jackie young. Las Vegas is just looking to go back again and win another title, uh, which will be their third since
Baseball Hall of Fame Discussion
00:14:30
Speaker
2022. So Mark Davis is doing it for the, for the ACEs, but can't do it for the damn Raiders. Come on, Mark, get it in gear. You got Tom Brady, you got TV there now. All right. I won't call him Tom shady anymore. I promise. As long as y'all get it done and get something popping.
00:14:44
Speaker
I don't know what peak Carol is expected to do with with basuda with booty juice. You can't turn a Coal into a diamond. You got to be able to have the stuff that well, I mean, I guess they they say pressure anyways You know what? You know what I mean? You need pieces and we don't have the pieces for peak Carol to do anything So I don't know what's happening there moving on. That's a crazy trade Props to Las Vegas for getting a playmaker and moving it up there 11 year old there is an 11 year old. I will decline to say his name on this program for being an underage Human being and I don't want you to be putting anyone's government names out there There was an 11 year old boy who pulled a one of one MLB debut patch card for Paul schemes um What happened is they have they're now creating these new cards and When you make your debut as a rookie, they'll take a piece of your jersey and they put it into with autograph into cards. These are the most sought after new cards on the market. um And so this 11 year old pulled this card and the Pirates offered him this Godfather offer. Now,
00:15:48
Speaker
the problem with the godfather offer is in order to want to take it first you have to be a pirates fan which i don't believe he is because i think he's from california the other thing is you have to live in pittsburgh because a lot of the perks are game tickets and season tickets and if i live all the way in california how i am am i supposed to use season tickets to the pirates and why would i no the kid did the smart thing his parents have uh have been uh have have given him the the the right advice. He will be sent to auction instead. I'm sure he will get some of that and then some of the proceeds will also be donated to the l LA Fire Relief Funds. So shout out to that 11 year old boy for not only getting his own bag but making sure that he's helping out others in the process and we still send our prayers to all those in l LA with those wildfires still kicking up.
00:16:40
Speaker
a Couple more news notes before we bring in our special guest and we'll madone here at about 730 We got the MLB Hall of Fame. Yes, the three inductees last week if you remember I did give you I showed you at least my picks for the Hall of Fame. And I picked seven different people to come up to the Hall of Fame. And I want to bring up that ballot again so you can see that. ah But you can see this is my ballot here on the right hand side. um And so who was selected here? We had Cece Sabathia got in. We had ah Billy Wagner on his last ballot getting in. ah Both of those gentlemen I did select as well. And ah let me let me have a quick word.
00:17:26
Speaker
I know Ichiro said he wanted a word, maybe a dinner. I think I want a quick word first, my friend. Let me help you out, Ichiro. Let me get your back here. To the one, the one voter that thinks you're a funny guy. Ah, you think you're real cute, huh? I know our guest Amul and myself popped.
00:17:52
Speaker
when the voter did this to Derek Jeter a few years ago even though that shouldn't have happened either if we're being completely honest. But as Red Sox and Mets fans we can highly appreciate the pettiness involved in the exercise of being the one voter to leave Jeter off. But to leave the utterly loved Ichiro Suzuki from being the first unanimous player ever no no and if my mom wasn't watching this show and i was on a different show i would curse some right now but i'm gonna go ahead and leave that out just know that i am highly highly pissed off to the top forms of piss tivity
00:18:29
Speaker
for my man Ichiro who should have been unanimously selected. So to you, you puny little puke geek sitting there behind your computer hating on Ichiro, maybe a Rangers fan, maybe an Astros fan, I don't know, someone hating on him, I hope.
00:18:46
Speaker
you actually bring your name up and don't sit sit behind the ballot the rest of your life because you deserve to be outed and I hope when Ichiro brings you over to the house it's really for one of those Yakuza meetings and we'll really see how you like to not vote unanimously.
00:19:03
Speaker
now That will not be a threat from myself. I'm just saying. But on that note, since my buddy is here, we're going to bring him in a little early because I do want to get his thoughts on this anyways. So he is an avid baseball fan as well. So it seems like the perfect time to bring him in. ah Our political strategist and a good friend of mine, Mr. Amul Madan, what is going on, brother? How are you doing? How's it going? Give me give me just a second.
00:19:33
Speaker
Sorry. I know you brought me on earlier. I was trying to pair my headphones. No, you're good. You're good. I'm going to go ahead and let you while you're pairing your headphones, go ahead and let us know how you feel about this. It's your own not being unanimously selected. Uh, can I, can I pair my headphones first? Cause I'm going to go on a bit of a like three to five minute rant and yeah I want to be sure that, uh, what I say.
00:20:02
Speaker
is accurately heard and reflected. There you are. I like it. And of so what I'm going to, find impair and we go I like it. Oh, you got a bear. Oh, I can. There we go. All right. I can hear you now. ah yeah You there? I'm here, my friend. So here's the thing.
00:20:24
Speaker
um
00:20:28
Speaker
What was this person thinking? Did he have a bet? Like I'm not a betting man, you know this, but like, did he decide just he woke up? I was like, uh, you know, today's the day I'm going to choose violets. Just violets. He just wanted to. I'm not going to, I'm not going to go after him too much, but you know, ah as, as, as agile coaches, we're taught to, uh, you know, uh, see where the, you know, find the empathy, like, and, and figure out where the other person is is coming from.
00:21:00
Speaker
I realize everyone has a hard day. I myself had a hard day. I hope that's what it was. i It was. It was a very hard day at work. And and I was very grateful when you you texted me and was like, oh, well, you know, would you like to come on? I need your expertise. But. Why? Just what is his major malfunction? I hate to quote an old teacher of ours, but like, what is he doing? Like,
00:21:29
Speaker
He is the first, he would be the first unanimous person to go into the Hall of Fame. Why would you do that? Why would you be like, yeah, no, I i like Randy Johnson better because he wore a 51 beforehand. So, you know, I'm going to go ahead and and and choose violence there. So now I'm going to go back to something that I said real quick. As ah as a red star, as a Red Sox fan, and as a Mets fan, yes I can see the pettiness and hate in the Yankees, and Jeter not getting it, because a lot of people, including not just our teams, hate the Yankees, just you know the evil empires. So I could see that. But this as you as you're stating, I just can't see it. On some level, we respect the Yankees at least. On some level, on some level. Like the classic like Jeter, Mariano Rivera, we can nod, we can tip our caps. you know That's fine.
00:22:23
Speaker
this cat. Like, is he a Diamondbacks fan? Like, is he sad that the queen the Quebec Nordiques are no longer in Quebec and that the Phoenix Coyotes went ahead? I'm gonna just roast the guy if I can. and i mean please eat it urge I understand that everybody goes through things, goes through life. You know, I myself you know, we were playing with house money and my commanders. But that's a different story. I know you've already covered that mostly. No, we're gonna get to that just a second after this actually. Okay, okay sure. Let's do that too. But he shouldn't have been unanimous. I was a little sad. um Little side note that both Pedroia and I mean, I can understand Manny not making it in. But I was a little sad that Pedroia didn't get a vote. But maybe in you know, the next time. So
00:23:17
Speaker
um And I will say I saw it and I was sad that there were no Red Sox I was very sad to hear that you didn't even show one one bit of love Well, this is the thing as you saw I also did not even vote in my own captain Captain my captain David Wright. I did not vote him in because I am on I you and I are both baseball purists and yeah I am I am of the aspect of that this is not the hall of the great. This is the hall of faith and in order to be in the hall of fame, you need to be the top top top of the top. The mountain. Yes, you do. the great Yes, you do. So, people like Wright, Utley, Pejoya, Rollins, they're great. They're amazing but they're not next level. They're not great. They're not Ichi Road. They're not Mickey man
00:24:12
Speaker
right you so and the other thing with maie ramire that's a problem that we've already gone into and the voters are going to have a problem in the future is that you haven't started letting those steroid area players in. So now any of them that were presumed to be involved or even accused to be involved can't be let in like a Manny Ramirez, even though he was never actually caught. Well, Manny also, you went for the home runs. Like I still remember, I don't know if I asked you, but I'd asked at least five or 10 of my friends if they wanted to go.
00:24:43
Speaker
back when he played, and I think only three people showed up to see him hit his 500, three of my friends. There were a lot of other people in the you know like Camden Yards, but only three of my friends, like it felt weird that not many people wanted to to see him of my my friend group. The guy who didn't vote each year unanimously should receive a five-year ban,
00:25:12
Speaker
on voting agree i like that i like that with an option with an option of five more uh and yeah you have them you need to submit a provisional ballot and if we don't like your first ballot back you get banned another five years it has to be vetted uh not only by myself but by uh the commissioner of baseball and he has to take a stand on which commissioner Yes. We're just going to make sure. Not even over Bettman too. Over Bettman. That's horrible. If you can do that, that's bad. Bettman looks good to other people over Manfred. Do you even watch the NHL All-Star game? Because I know I don't. I only watch the NBA. Well, you have to see it this year because they're replacing it with a Four Nations tournament this year.
00:26:07
Speaker
Oh yeah, that's right. That's fine. Yeah, it is. Alright, let's move it on to football. Let's talk about those commanders before we get into the actual Super Bowl game this weekend. We did have two conference championship games. Oh and before I say that, because I know we're not going to get into it later, I do not want to forget him to give the props and we this did this on the bottom line sports, but shout out to the ohios the Ohio State who beat our on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Also, I picked them as the champions before the season started. So that's my second pick in a row. That's why they call me the sports professor. So shout out to the Ohio State for winning the national championship. I just want to make sure I stated that before we move on, because I know we're not going to get back to it after this. That being said.
Washington Commanders and NFL Insights
00:26:55
Speaker
All right. Congrats. So, yes. Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. So, we're having a little bit of delay. So, if I talk over you, it's not because I'm trying to, it's because I think we're having a little bit of a delay. By the way, pull your pull your camera down a little bit so we can see that beautiful place of yours. So, you can see in the Tuskegee Airmen.
00:27:09
Speaker
I like that I'm wearing that we will cover at some point. It's a very topical thing. By the way, sorry, early, I think you wanted me to jump on earlier or at some point, but I had a stomach bug or we were going to get together or something. So sorry about that. No, no, no. Yeah. You're good. You're good. No, no, no. yeah I'm glad you're feeling better. I'd actually worked out better for you to come on this week because last week with the national championship, I had to make it a abbreviated show because I had to be quicker to get off.
00:27:38
Speaker
so all right well anyways yesterday we saw two uh you know one not as not as great but one it was okay thrilling game uh we'll start first with the humble pie that is coming to you and all the other dmv residents um although it's it's not that humble is it not i'm gonna put i'm not i'll tell you why okay please do We were in elementary school the last time, the Redskins and the commanders. Redskins slash commanders were relevant. All due respect to Gibbs and his second turn when he was coach, but the aforementioned commanders were last relevant 1991, 1992. We were kids. We barely, I had thicker glasses back then.
00:28:27
Speaker
and to see closer to the board. that's That's where we are, ladies and gentlemen, for those watching that are like, do you yeah do I ever remember you in elementary school? You should.
00:28:38
Speaker
um yeah picture your picture mill house circa nineteen ninety s i'm just hot on better looking than mill house but yeah you i give you that i'll give you that i give you you were definitely are our mill house though and we love to no no definitely not definitely not um i still can't believe because me i like is gentleman ah has a fun of a better nickname thirty years time anyway you know what our childhood one show work yeah know i know it's so It's been years
00:29:10
Speaker
We were playing with house money after we won the first game. but I was already ah okay and knew that like I was mentally prepared that we may lose the second game. hope we may but we we We may lose ah ah um the game against Philly. So we we definite I definitely didn't think that we were going to beat the Lions. So but Just to be happy that we made it this far. Do we need an O-line? Absolutely. We need an O-line the same way we need to bring back Rigo in his prime. Or Ernest Biner. Give me Ernest Biner. Oh, there you go. i we Do we need ah another receiver out next to Terry McCormick? Absolutely. Do we need depth pieces? For sure.
00:30:02
Speaker
um
00:30:05
Speaker
We did really well this season for a rebuilding season. If this is what's considered rebuilding, I will take it. I believe because and you're not the one, you're not the first, uh, commander's fan. I'm hearing this from, this is a, yeah this is a, this is ah a constant theme. I'm hearing a year ahead of time, two years ahead of time. We'll take what we were able to get. I got one of the best quarterbacks in the league that is going to run the roost in the NFC for the next, uh, you know, 10 years.
00:30:33
Speaker
I mean, that was that's that's the hope. If he gets in a line in front of him, if he gets in a line in front of him, he can do anything. um was ah Did I wince when he bent his leg backwards slightly? I think it was against the Lions game. Yeah, I did. Because I thought we were going to have another RG3 situation. under hand But i want to say I want to say this, and and this is something that I've said on various socials, you may have seen it. I didn't think we'd ever get where we were. I genuinely didn't think that post Snyder, we would ever be this good. Wow. Okay. Ever. and Ever. Ever. Because we are so used to mediocrity. The Wizards still like, they have it in the group. Like when the Caps and the and the Nads eclipse you in terms of championships,
00:31:27
Speaker
And the commanders are now, you know, they're rebuilding. But, you know, I hope, I'll say this sincerely, that I hope your raiders get to this level. I know that Pete Carroll was playing quarterback, the like like, for some reason, because he maybe wanted to show off, show to Garden Mentshu.
00:31:47
Speaker
what chops he had. I don't know why he was playing quarterback, but um I hope you guys get to the same level because it's just, I don't know. It's nice. It's nice to think of the commanders and be like, okay, yeah, they're going to be something. Like I didn't, I didn't order any commander's gear until a couple of weeks ago. Like it's still stuck in Texas, I think because of the snowstorm, but I, I, I'm very,
00:32:12
Speaker
You know, it's nice to to relive 91 again. it's It's nice to relive 92. And we'll see what what happens next. and now address Yeah, now I do want to I do want to say some things because yes, you're exactly right. And most of the, I mean, after the Lions win, especially a lot of the Commander's fans were coming up to me. Man, you know, Omar, this is all you need. See, all you need is a quarter. I'm like, yeah, tell thank tell me about that. Like I didn't know all we need. I know we need a quarterback ever since Jamar, the fat ass Russell came in drinking his syrup, not watching his tapes. I know that we need a quarterback, but the problem is that we can't draft properly.
00:32:49
Speaker
And which ja that's what I call them. But anyway, would I love a Patrick Mahomes? Sure. Would I love a Jayden Daniels? Sure. Are we going to get a quarterback and this year? Probably not. Are we marching for arch? We're marching for arch, baby. Let's go. That's fine. don Don't root for a Pat Mahomes, though. Pat Mahomes cheats.
00:33:08
Speaker
we all know and so We'll get to that. We'll get to that in just a second. Hold on. hold we'll get into that No, no, no, no, no. We'll get to that in just a second though. I do want to go through the through both games though real quick. So the commanders 55 to 23 was the loss to the Eagles while the Buffalo Bills, ah heartbreaking, heartbreaking loss, which we will talk about um everything that happened there at the end of the game, which you just alluded to. We will talk about that. But first of all, let's go ahead and look at the Eagles win. Saquon Barkley took his first touch for 60 yards. um He had 122 yards and three TDs.
00:33:48
Speaker
He is my MVP pick for the season. I don't know if you agree with me, but by far I think that since he's over 2000 yards, only only the night running back in history to go over 2000 yards, making a single season record has carried this team on his back. Your other two are quarterbacks who, as great as they are, um just didn't put up a superlative season like like Saquon Barkley did. So how do you feel about that? I'm fine with it. Give Jane the rookie of the year. Give Saquon MVP.
00:34:17
Speaker
That first play was directly out of Madden. And anyone who says otherwise, never played Madden growing up. That's direct play like out of Madden. I think he rightfully ran us over. um He didn't need to to jump over anyone. We could just got out of the way. It was like, sir, please, by all means, run down the field, by all means. I'm sitting there going, like can you tackle somebody? can you write can you You know, can you do something? And um yeah ah we it's okay that we got double. we got we this was that if Remember back in the day when Jordan hung double ah double nickels against the Knicks? Yeah, this was the Eagles double nickel game. oh and great yeah yeah yeah And so let's see.
00:35:14
Speaker
If they can ah hang the same amount, if they can, you know, give us another double nickel game against the, against the Chiefs. you now good Now, the other thing about this team is that yeah for pretty much the whole year, everyone was crapping on Nick Sirianni as a horrible coach and Jalen Hurts as not being able to be able to carry a team and not being able to actually be a passing quarterback. And these narratives around these two all year um don't prove to hold true when you look at A, their winning percentage, which both of them together have a 69% winning percentage and have gone to two Super Bowls now in four years. So how are the our how are people still saying that about these this duo?
00:36:04
Speaker
Because people want to say stuff, and I think you and I have talked about this before, people want to say stuff to anger other individuals. Let's be frank and honest here for a second. Sirian has been pretty decent. If you want to talk about a coach in the NFC East, I even blanked on the dude's name, not the coach, but the GM. You know, ah call up the Giants GM. He's been awful.
00:36:26
Speaker
but Like the last few years. Yeah. for syria nine of them Yeah. Sirianni has been a really, and I've got a really good friend of mine who's views and i in the photography community that I'm a part of. So we all love hearing this. Sirianni has been a really good coach, a really decent coach. I wouldn't be opposed to at some point him being named coach of the year, if that's the what they want to, broke you know,
00:36:53
Speaker
They want to go in that way if they want to, they, if they want to, you know, lean that way. But in all honesty, like he hasn't, he's done everything he can to lead his Eagles to, you know, back to back two Super
Playoff Performances and NFL Dynasties
00:37:07
Speaker
Bowls in four years. You can't ask for anything.
00:37:10
Speaker
You really can't. You really can't. And that's what I keep trying to tell people. And I mean, yeah I think Jake and I were talking about this on the on the bottom line sports last night. We're sick of the Sirianni, you know, slander. um It just doesn't make any sense when they're when they're yeah and not you, but like the the mainstream media on the other side of things.
00:37:29
Speaker
Uh, you know, as we mentioned, this was Washington a year earlier. and They were not expected come years early they're a couple years early, right? Just like the Orioles right there. First conference, ah a title game and in 30 years. So really good season for them. On the other side though, the bills, the poor, poor, poor bills.
00:37:49
Speaker
God bless. First, they lose four Super Bowls in the 90s, including one for you all in the aforementioned 1992 Super Bowl. i yeah and three And three wide whites from Scott Norwood. ah yeah Now, they have one of the best teams in in in sports for the past five years since Josh Allen came into the league. And they can't get past their arch nemesis, Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:38:18
Speaker
Well, they're doing running into a red and yellow wall. They're they're speaking of red and yellow walls. Wow. That's that's a conversation we'll have to get into later, I suppose. But yeah, no. ah With with what's been going on, it's and wasn't it the Chiefs who couldn't get past the Patriots when Brady was still around? That's true. So I would love the bills to get past the Chiefs at some point.
00:38:47
Speaker
but I think a bigger story, and I referenced this earlier, is the blatant cheating that the refs are doing, calling plays for them. And I mean, go ahead and call me out, go ahead and call me out saying that that isn't the case. Why are there videos then of people who talking about the different refs that are assigned and how like, one ref is, I think it's Sean Hockley, who's like 7-0 when the Chiefs are 7-0 when they, when he refs the game. Really? I mean, they're also 7-0 just in the, they're undefeated in the playoffs, mostly anyways though. So that's not really- I mean, yeah, but it's whoever, like anytime Hockley, like refs one of their games, they magically win for whatever reason, like- It's like the opposite of Chris Paul and NBA ref, what's his name?
00:39:43
Speaker
every yeah yeah red for this fall they lose scott Oh, yeah, that's right. got whatever Yeah, I've just got some Foster Foster. Yes. Um but II would like the bills to you know to to get over the hump. I'd love for them to win a Super Bowl in our lifetime. I really would. Hopefully, they don't face your your Raiders to do it and they don't. I would hope this for their for their fans because I know a lot of Bill's fans that are personally and mid in in their own personal hell due to yeah to the red, the the the hated red. I'm like a bull when I see Kansas City. I'm like, I'm just turning to just fumes come out of my nose and I just want to, I just want to hurt everything that says Kansas City. It's what it's what Goodell wants.
00:40:35
Speaker
it's what good l wants and you know what i i keep having to say this because the people are talking about the black magic and the and the rest and all that and yes there could be some validity that to that because of course when you have a cash cow like a brady a cash cow like in my homes uh teams like this yeah in the league you are going to want them to succeed because it brings more eyes more money so on and so forth to your league and to the rest of the people involved so of course that's something you want but of course people are going to not only get fatigued at the fact that this team is winning over and over but that they're going to develop the hate that they develop where these teams where these things these conspiracy theories whether they're true or not or whether there is validity to it or not are are sprung up because people can only see what
00:41:20
Speaker
is put in front of them and when you have these these plays like a a first down last night where Josh Allen looks to clearly get over the fourth down line um and before that even Dalton Kincaid was close enough and they still spotted the ball a whole yard back like those are things where people look and say okay well what's really going on now Right. It's it's a whole it's I'm going to call it an epidemic, an epidemic of refs that just like it's the ref show. They just want the same thing happens and when I go to caps games, I go to caps games, the cashiers, you know, the you call it a bite or a boarding call or a boarding penalty when, you know, it clearly wasn't boarding or tripping when it wasn't tripping. Like, stop it. You know, you're getting paid enough. And and if we did the same thing,
00:42:08
Speaker
you know, we'd be showing the door. um But, you know, i are you watching the Super Bowl? Because I will, but I'm going to be waiting for Kendrick Lamar, more or less.
00:42:19
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, know I'm going to watch because I am ah i'm just a football fan and I know that football will go away for nine months after that. I mean, when I'm the XFL, I'm a degenerate. So I'll watch the UFL too. But, um but so I'm definitely watch the LFL if it's on. you watch i was in I was in an XFL fantasy league. So that's how deep it gets for me. um you know He missed the LFL, uh, comment ladies and gentlemen, it's okay. yeah It's the lady football league. There is a, there was, or is an LFL at some point, or there was. Well, it wasn't called the lady football league. I don't know if that got changed after that movement, but it was called the lingerie football league, lingerie football league. My apologies. My bad. I know because I attended plenty of the Nashville lingerie football team games when I first moved here.
00:43:07
Speaker
good good lord i have figure so why not Alright, so but to talk about this, so when you do have someone as good as Patrick Mahomes, who now is entering his Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, yeah, Derek Jeter, you know, Stephen Curry, whoever else you want to talk about all the greats when they get into that that stage where they're in there, they're now in there through in, in their prime heading into the final stages, but still humming along at a great rate. This is where the, this is where the dynasties really come into play. And I was saying this the other day and some people disagree with me, but some people agreed that even though they, cause in my personal definition of a dynasty, you have to win three titles and in a row, but that's very hard to do in football with the, what the chiefs have done going to four Superbowls over five years.
00:43:57
Speaker
Possibly going for a three-peat. I think that they are already a dynasty regardless if they win this one or not Yeah, i would I would say that's that's that's fair. I would say they're a dynasty I do not think my first blush and in this is I do not think that ah They'll win. I think that the Eagles might pull it all prediction um mostly because of Saquon. Like, I'm sorry, we're going to go back to the commander's game for a second. i was I was watching that and I saw the first play from scrimmage and I was like, yep, sounds about right. And then he did it again. And I was like, okay, yeah, I get it. You're playing bad at this point. And the third time it was like, okay, now you're just showing off. Like, you know, if if he does that against the Chiefs, like, they don't need to do anything else. But yes, the Chiefs have a dynasty for sure.
00:44:52
Speaker
But, and we don't know how long ah Kelsey is gonna be around. Apparently Jason Kelsey is saying, I don't know if you heard this on his show, but in between his show that kelsey yeah Jason was saying that ah Kelsey may not have ah like that many years left to play. ah So, I mean, make of that what you will, but We are going to make a bit that he's going to stay with Patrick Mahomes until Patrick Mahomes is yeah is ready to retire. right Now obviously he is a little older so at some point he may have to be forced out due to father time. But I don't i don't foresee him leaving a dynasty on his own volition. Now his brother was a whole different
00:45:36
Speaker
ball game, why his brother quit. I thought his brother should have stayed another year and he'd be in the Super Bowl again this year. So I think he called it a year too early, but hey, you got to live with the choices um that you make in that regard. What I would say though, is that the NFL definitely wouldn't let Travis Kelsey retire as long as him and Taylor Swift. are still dating and let's go ahead and bring this up right now because I made a series of shorts about this and everybody should go back go to the Ball and Buds YouTube channel Ball and Buds B-A-L-L-A-N-D B-U-D-S while you're there make sure you smash that subscribe button like the kids say but go watch the shorts that I did I did a four part series on Taylor Swift and the NFL and I explained everything and I went into all the conspiracy series and I went into all of ah how I see things and what I'm hearing and how that because of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey dating that they are
00:46:22
Speaker
trying to Help the Chiefs. I'm not gonna accuse them oh of Whatever, but just like we know that David Stern Handed Patrick Ewing to the Knicks and Tim Duncan to the Spurs, right? We know Yeah, yeah that yeah had to bring David Stern into it, huh? Yeah to bring David Stern into it, huh? But yeah, no and then the frozen envelopes. Yeah. Okay, I get it I get what you I get what you're talking about I get what you're talking about. And so, Flo, thank you for tuning in. Appreciate that. Bottom line sports, y'all check us out tomorrow night, 8 p.m. Eastern, ah ball and budge, or join the bottom line spar sports Facebook group. He thinks Kelsey will retire if they win this ball. If they win another one, possibly. but again high
00:47:05
Speaker
They probably would. But i just don't see the value I just don't see the value in that. If you have Travis, Kelsey and Taylor Swift still together and you have all the eyes and you can continue to keep bringing Taylor Swift back to games in the future. This is a thing that you continue to do until it runs out of legs. And this has been spurred on by the NFL, the relationship and everything. This has all been concocted. This is all a scheme ah to obviously yeah Never it is the thing the biggest pop star in the world It is and it's gonna get even it's gonna get even crazier if the bills make it again next year um because Josh Allen is engaged to Haley Steinfeld. So now you're putting Haley against Taylor and You know, I don't know if anyone wants to do that.
00:47:57
Speaker
you know, or if you to debate that. I like how you bring the pulp, how you help to um bring some of that pop culture element to my show. I had to, I had to. Because I appreciate that because that story I was actually going to break a few weeks ago but I didn't have time to break it on my show so I'm glad you did because that's another one, right, that they could start to move into. They could also start to run ah a Josh Allen, Hailey Steinfeld kind of play in the future.
00:48:23
Speaker
my brother wild card mar, he is a chief fan. I know he's hella excited. We had a show this past weekend going over to preview the AFC and NFC championships. And thank you for tuning in. He does not agree with all the talk about the, uh, the cheatery and the black magic and the refs. And he does not agree. He thinks that, and I mean, obviously he may be a little biased, but he thinks that they are just a good team. And that's the other side of this, right? Is that yeah they are a great team. They went undefeated at all 10 home games, both of them.
00:48:51
Speaker
Yeah, they may have, they may have now won the past 17 wins by one score, which is amazing. that That can even happen. They've won. seven they they go by people they They keep teams in games. That's, I saw a stat that someone was like, why why are you, you know, you should write off the chief's dynasty. And I listened because, you know, it's good to listen sometimes.
00:49:15
Speaker
And they were like, well, you know, theyve the Chiefs have, ah you know, kept teams like the Raiders in, you know, in games once, you know, you know, every game, like it's it's their one win, one play away. And, you know, usually the other team makes a couple mistakes and and the Chiefs win or the rest help them out. So I mean an argument could be made in that in that regard as well. I don't know how many of those. Sorry, I'm reading the comments as they're coming in. No, no, you're good. You're good. ah First shout out GB. Thank you for tuning in. We really appreciate you know you. Yeah, yeah thanks for tuning in GB. That's my people. That's my people right there. um He said I don't know how the build fans reacted in this game, but they're they're not as mad this get this year. Last year with the 13 second debacle that they had that was all on McDermott this year. yeah They're not as upset. It was just more of a they just couldn't get it done kind of thing.
00:50:08
Speaker
um He also says I don't know if Kelsey in my home stays Casey for their entire life and get married. I just want spagnolo out well ah Gb. I believe is a Chargers fan. I believe so this actually makes sense. We would all want spagnolo out While Carmartia, you know where Where would you want Gb? If you're if you're still watching, where would you want spagnolo to go?
00:50:31
Speaker
Yeah. Where would you want them to go? Probably to yeah probably probably to the old coaches farm in the sky. I mean, not in the sky, but on the on the on the farm, you know, where they put them on the pasture. ah Anyways. you can um You can have Taylor, apparently. oh why i of this looks So this is, let me give you some, let me give you some inside information there, Walcar Mark. Back the before yeah Taylor got with Travis, it was actually Taylor and Omar back in Nashville.
00:50:58
Speaker
And so I actually know the whole inside story. I know when they came up to Taylor and made her this godfather offer. I know that me and Taylor had a talk about this. We went to dinner at a steakhouse. I bought her a nice steak dinner. Well, she bought me a nice steak dinner. And we talked about it. And we said that we're going to have to break this off for a little bit, but that we were still keeping contact. I still talk to my Tay Tay all the time. We still talk to my phone. um like I'm letting Travis Kelphy have this for the betterment of football, OK? But she's coming home. She's coming back to Nashville.
00:51:27
Speaker
um Tell the folks in your show. I said the most important rusher for the Chiefs is Patrick Mahomes. Well, hey That's a true. That's true argument. um often Have you seen green hook cream hunt in the last couple of games spags ain't going nowhere. All right Well, he's a Chiefs fan. So we probably know that ah but GB would say I'd make him the and part of the NFL Yeah, you you just want to get rid of him. You just want him to go anywhere other than against our team Yeah You could have just put them on the Cardinals if you wanted to. I'd rather have Spaggs and then Adam Silver. That's a thought. You you really want to displace Adam Silver? Okay. right i mean that's This may be a question for another time, Omar, but how do you feel at between David Stern and Adam Silver? like Do you think Silver's done a better job than Stern or do you long for the days of
00:52:21
Speaker
you know so I love this question because I've been posed this question before and for the progression of the league for making the league more um ah fan-friendly expanding the game globally things like that and for just keeping the league intact and not having issues between owners and teams as often. I think Adam Schindler has done a tremendous job as the NBA commissioner. That being said, I loved David Stern and I loved how he kept the league in check with a forceful hard hand. He made sure that the game was played the right way, that there was competitiveness, but that there was no cheating going on.
00:53:04
Speaker
yeah except with the Knicks and Spurs. But, ah you know, sometimes you got to help the better teams in the league. I agree. So I would keep silver for what he's done, but I don't want to disgrace David Stern for the way that he did handle the league while he was but he was there. ah But now if you say Roger Goodell, yeah roger get Roger to get the hell out. I don't like Roger Goodell. No, I'm not going to say Roger Goodell. I hate what Roger Goodell has been doing, but I mean,
00:53:33
Speaker
What can we do at this point? like who can be who Who can we install that's better than Roger Goodell at this point? I mean Spagnolos, let's do it. All right. All right. Wildcard says, blame the rest of the league. No one has broken up this chief's coaching staff or poached their key players. That is very true. That's true. Well, because the team wants to win, if the team continues winning.
00:53:56
Speaker
and they're not tired of winning, then of course they're still going to be Chiefs. theyll People want to say they're right. Yeah, they'll take two thirds of what they would make elsewhere. And so lets before we as we wrap this up, you know, some people obviously think this is voodoo sticking pins into, you know, ah all of the Kansas City Chiefs opponents as they go along. um But some other people like Wal-Karma and other people that that know football well would say that they're just a well oiled Squad that just knows how to win in crunch time So is it possible that they that were a tow a couple lucky doinks a bad snap a Raiders illegal shift formation From the Kansas City not even getting the by this season. Yes, yeah but they were also 15 and 2 and whether it was narrow victory after narrow victory and whether you call it fraudulent or coasting on randomness or lucky breaks and
00:54:49
Speaker
It doesn't matter because they got it done and their run of success continues. They're 18. It just refuses to lose. That's true. That's true. I mean, obviously I wish both teams well. and yeah I mean, it'll be a rematch. It was simple. We saw two years ago, which was a great Super Bowl 3835. It was an awesome Super Bowl. Yeah, so it was. I mean, but but they didn't have Saquon back then. I love they've got Saquon now is now they've got a like OK fine. Somebody had said that or my homes is is your runner.
00:55:18
Speaker
Just give it to Saquon. Saquon will just like stiff arm everybody. um And it'll just, it'll be great. It'll be fun to watch. Hey, I already know you put some calls in down there to to your Wodeys asking for a little voodoo magic, ah you know, stick some pink cushions in Saquon Barkley's doll.
00:55:40
Speaker
ah but but yeah um um um I'm trying to think, I'll remember it eventually. But there is there there's a voodoo, uh, priestess who is down there. That's famous oh And she's she's yeah, she's long been gone but passed on by now. Um, but uh, i'll think of it and if not, we'll we'll bring it up later but if anyone so Yeah, go ahead. Oh if anyone can name her. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Anyone can name her yeah voodoo The famous voodoo lady in New Orleans. Anybody know? Let us know. um But before we move on, I do want to point out that you know with all this, the NFL is expected to include the quarterback slide in its plays eligible for for replay assist. So that that Texans play where two Texans hit each other and pat and they called the for the roughing the passer on my own, that's going to be reviewed. And hopefully they'll be getting rid of that where you'll be able to actually replay or challenge that call.
00:56:39
Speaker
so Yeah. Yeah. Marie Laveau was who you were looking for. or i was looking for ah I already hit up Master P and we got something. No limit. science ah totally Bring gumbo. Bring gumbo. I love gumbo. Just bring gumbo is all I ask. That's all I ask. If if and if there's a new story.
00:57:04
Speaker
if there's a new story of s Silk Pashaka, Mystical, and Mia X running ah running a ah jumping in of Saquon Barkley who can no longer ah play in the game, I will know that it was you wildcard, Marta. Call the hit.
00:57:19
Speaker
ah early key to the victory stop. Yeah, thanks, right? Yeah, yeah, pretty, yeah yeah pretty simple there. but long car let Let me just let me just say this real quick, out of respect, the commanders had that same, you know, believe stop 26 for the Eagles. It didn't work out.
00:57:38
Speaker
yeah it's it's It's possible it may not be riding on. yeah Yeah, that is tremendous. yes Yeah. Yeah. and then And then put it in a put it in a nice old plastic CD case.
00:57:50
Speaker
uh with you know white or yellow or blue yeah like the oldest yeah he's gonna be he's gonna make Saquon disappear and then I'm gonna go down to Norrall it's for jazz fest to see like the roots play the roots play uh roots are gonna play um a little lane and and the roots are gonna play and Saquon will just pop up in the crowd is what'll end up happening is under under ah over 25 rushing attempts for Saquon in the Super Bowl over 30. I would say at least 30. I would say he's going to get at least 25. Yeah. Uh, thank you for tuning in Papa Shango. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The voodoo master of the WWF. Shango. I remember we had a Shango was no Marilla though. They're still trying to find Marilla though. So, and she's been gone for 200 years. So yeah, by the way, uh, company and I will be doing a table of terribles, uh, talking about our Raiders and 49ers. And we'll probably have a couple other guests on with terrible teams so we can just make fun of each other.
00:58:46
Speaker
Uh, that'll hopefully be coming up this week or next. So stay tuned for that. All right. Uh, if the Eagles want to win, he needs over 25. I would say so. I would say so. everybody knows this that that That I've been putting out there lately, um, that when Jalen hurts passes for under 184 yards, they are five and O in the playoffs.
00:59:05
Speaker
Okay 184 is the ah is the number I wonder how they calculate that or not how they calculate that but I wonder if he's like throwing like if he's already thrown for like 110 if he's like guys I can't throw anymore I can't throw like you know I I have to make sure we win. Like, you know, if we're at 150 yards, like if I got 150 yards, I can't throw a 30 yard out. I'm sorry. Like, you know, I just, even if it's for playoff, like, you know, you get bonuses or whatever. I'm sorry. I can't do it. It's definitely a mix of conservative play calling and his injuries, I would think. And now having Saquon Barkley, but it was also extend back to last year too. So, you know, take it forward too well.
00:59:48
Speaker
All right, well, hey, thank you, everybody, for tuning in. Make sure you're subscribed to Ball and Buds, B-A-L-L-A-N-D-B-U-D-S as well. I forgot earlier to let Amul Madan share his socials.

That's in the works. Yeah, that's in the works. Well, yeah. Yeah. your own podcast I think that's good. good Have anyone on the podcast? Wasn't there other topics you wanted to discuss too? or Oh, no. we're not go We're not done yet. No, no, no, no. We're still got 30 more minutes, everybody. I'll stay tuned in. oh We're going to easily fail 45. No, we're easily going to fail 45. We can go till nine. I just got to be off by nine. That's all.
01:01:07
Speaker
Alright, y'all will think the opportunity and we're still not done yet. As he said, we are going to talk about we're going to move from sports now though and move into US United States news. Talk Donald Trump's first week in office and all of the executive actions that he
Trump's Cabinet and Immigration Policies
01:01:23
Speaker
signed. So first of all, let's get started with a little bit of other news first before we get into the executive actions last. And then I have a burning round of questions for you. Some funny, some not so funny. Yes, so we'll get into that.
01:01:36
Speaker
I sent them on Instagram, so if you didn't look them up, that's your own fault. ah president trump look him up but it's fine but this is gonna be fun yes President Trump is preparing for what should it be a bruising week for three of his most controversial nominees. Pete Hexeth was barely confirmed as Secretary of Defense this past week, needing the vote of Vice President J.D. Vance in order to be selected. now This will be the one you hear the most from me on as I am a veteran and as I worked at the Pentagon and in the in in the intel world. ah This man, even as a war veteran, which I know plenty of them, that does not make you qualified to run the Secretary of Defense to run a billion dollar Pentagon and other agencies to run the armed forces. So
01:02:31
Speaker
especially when you haven't even had any modicum of experience within the past five years while you've been a television host. It's not like you've been working in the Pentagon. I could give you my good friend who's been a war veteran and is currently the assistant deputy director at the Pentagon who would be wholly more qualified for this position than Pete.
01:02:53
Speaker
So and that is what I'm going to say about that. I'm not hating on the guy for any of his personal stuff. I could care less about that. All Congress people have so many skeletons in your call, in their closet that you wouldn't even be able to start counting them. So I don't care about his drinking habits or whatever else. He can do whatever that he wants when it comes to that. I care, does he have the actual experience to run the military and the Pentagon? And he does not. What is your thoughts on the first, on Pete's exit?
01:03:19
Speaker
getting them so I don't know if you know this, but I've been on the defense portfolio for two years. Have you and I talked? I've been supporting. So I will just say I won't tell you who I supported. We can talk about that offline. But I supported I've been on the defense portfolio for where I work. And I'll just say this, that's why I wanted to let you have your space because you're a veteran.
01:03:44
Speaker
Obviously, I respect veterans and you have a better understanding um of why he shouldn't be. I mean, I also have a better understanding of why he shouldn't be. I don't think he should be, my own personal opinion. However, I will say this, um bit of a blessing that he got confirmed because all of the contracts on the portfolio side, I don't mean to bring work into any of this, but prima from a portfolio standpoint,
01:04:14
Speaker
um you know, across a lot of companies, contracts are being shuttered, they're being stopped, because they didn't have a top they didn't have a sec def at a Pentagon. So right, if you're not that if he's, I mean, I'm glad he's installed, I don't think he's right for the job. Because I think he's more of a commentator than, you know, an actual, you know, Pentagon, ah you know, someone who would be a ah good candidate for the Pentagon.
01:04:44
Speaker
But ah I think that ah hopefully this means that contracts will open up a little bit. I don't think they'll open up for a while. I'm hearing they're not going to open up till March or April, but, ah you know, with different companies. But it just really varies because he's not I'm going to leave the personal stuff out just like you are. I don't want to comment on that. Everyone has skeletons in the closet. Like you said, everyone has things that they regret. But, you know,
01:05:14
Speaker
Things are frozen right now because of the admin turnover. And they shouldn't be like jobs are being lost because of that. Contracts are not being signed because of that. And that's important. It's imperative. I think I can say this. yeah um It's imperative that you have the right person for the job. It is imperative that you have someone that can not only respect our troops,
01:05:42
Speaker
but uh has been there on the front lines with troops like with your own company uh you know having served and and any of the words that we've been in previously and that hey you know it's i understand i respect that he's there i find that he's there you know it's not that i'm glad he got installed because now it means contracts will start moving again And that was an issue, right? Because you're right. When the turnover in an administration happens, there is a pause in activity in some of these governmental agencies where they don't have a director or directions at that point in time, which is what has happened to here. And which yeah is is especially a crucial piece of the defense Department of Defense is their contract within the industry. Yes. And when your contracts are shuttered,
01:06:35
Speaker
That's a problem. That's a massive problem. They just installed somebody at Treasury that I think you'll probably get to as well. The same issue there. So, you know, ah hopefully he does a decent job for however long he decides to be sec death. I don't know if it's going to be four years or if it's going to be two years or one year, but hopefully he has good lieutenants that can help guide him because he certainly needs them.
01:07:01
Speaker
Yeah, no, he's gonna need them because because again, look, I wish yeah i wish every everyone the best in this administration. you do i I'm hopeful that he'd be better than the first term was, right, and all the issues that they had that time. I know we had COVID and everything like that, but ah so I'm wishing for the best, but just to start off with,
01:07:20
Speaker
with people that may not have the right experience just because you liked them is not the way that things should be done. um Now, I'm not gonna say that doesn't happen on both sides because it does, but ah yeah if todo happens a both side things that we can bring it up and say it it's fine. I mean, the 12 years I was in politics, it happened all the time.
01:07:38
Speaker
And so let's look at the other side of that then, yeah right? Because this week, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who is supposed to be going up for, what is it, the Secretary of- Secretary, she's going to be National Intelligence. National Intelligence, yes, thank you. National Intelligence. RFK Jr.
01:07:56
Speaker
for Secretary of Health and Human Services. And finally, the most controversial cash Patel for the HBI, HBI, the FBI. FBI is what he went there. I don't even know what that is. I don't know what the HBI is. Now they're expected to breathe through because the Republican does control the Republicans control the Senate. But what are your thoughts on these three controversial nominees? Don't get me started on Tulsi. Tulsi, don't get me started. She was Indian.
01:08:25
Speaker
She was a Democrat. She was on our side. And then so I have cousins and everyone else that that will disagree with me and feel free to if you ever get a chance to listen to this. But um we obviously want the best for everybody. You mentioned Tulsi. I i don't. I wish there were bigger candidates. Like, I'm sorry for tos Tulsi for ah RFK, like,
01:08:54
Speaker
I wish there were better candidates. But you sort of have to wish the best for them and say, okay, I hope you're you're you're going to do a decent job or a halfway decent job. ah You already know that you're not going to be able to eat a Pop-Tart after midnight with the RFK as a Health and Human Services um Secretary.
01:09:13
Speaker
um So I'm sorry, kids, but you will not have be able to have Pop-Tarts for breakfast if ah RFK is confirmed. Which, I mean, They're they're going to try to get as a lot of people a lot of people want to process food away going away, right? Yeah, and that's fine. No, and and that's okay. That's fine. If they want processed food to go away that I mean, I myself eat clean, so it's okay. Like it's and understand where they're coming from. But I just met from the standpoint of he isn't a good candidate. Do I wish him well? Do I wish him success? I wish that he had a different thought ah how he felt different about vaccinations.
01:09:53
Speaker
Uh, but that's not my circus. You know, I wish that Tulsi, uh, didn't have the skeletons in our closet that she does. Uh, let's talk about that though, because her skeletons that you mentioned is that she is, uh, let's be nice about this. A a Russian. Yeah. And be as nice of it and be it as nice as you can, sir.
01:10:15
Speaker
i think even but na those arephaizer or Maybe I can say is that, is that, is that clean enough? that's That's, that's, that's, that's somewhat sanitary. But the problem is when you have those and when you're also running the national of intelligence of a country that is an adversary of that country, that's where things come into it. Yeah, that's it. That's, that's where the problem exists. And that's going to, you know, something that, how are the Republicans going to handle it? We already know how the Democrats will handle it. You know, we already know what Timmy Kay is going to say, Timmy Kay um and others are going to say.
01:10:50
Speaker
Uh, but how are the Republicans going to handle it? Are they going to just sweep it under the rug? And, you know, is it going to be like a repeat of Cavanaugh's confirmation? andar You know, where he was like, I have, like he basically, I love the Cavanaugh pulled a stone cold to see Boston. Cause no one knew what he was talking about, except for those that tangentially like had an interest in wrestling back then. And it was just like,
01:11:17
Speaker
okay fine if that's what you want to you know i liked i liked beer i liked a lot of beer um but i'm curious to know i'm not going to watch them all i probably won't watch it as you know a whole lot a whole lot of the confirmations but uh i want them to do well sorry now what are your thoughts on the most controversial of the picks He's supposed to be going up for director of FBI catch Patel who has some pretty wild conspiracy theories along the lines of a Steve Bannon, along the lines of a Alex Jones, things like that. What do you say about that? What do you feel about him? I want him to do well. But I, once again, I will go back to the well and and say this, will repeat myself. I don't think he's a right candidate. Like, they're candidates that we have that
01:12:09
Speaker
should be We shouldn't be having better candidates, but it's not up to us who those candidates are. 47 decided to choose his own candidates. And i I'd be remiss if I didn't say this, that we've got all these other contracts, FBI, HHS, NSP, um you know with companies. And ah those companies, we're just waiting for someone to be installed.
01:12:40
Speaker
I'm going to stop the cam and start it again and see if it works. And so ah yeah and so and so yeah, so again, another another pick is as someone that seems to not have the requisite experience necessary. It's the experience is what it is. Yeah, it's it's the experience and You need that experience. You need to be able to say, hey, this is somebody who's been there before. um But again, like, who would you, this is the one thing that I sort of struggled with. Who would you pick? Like, if it's not going to be Higgsith, who's it going to be?
01:13:22
Speaker
You know, well, I mean, there's plenty of people that are in the Department of Defense that are very high up and have been working at the Pentagon and other places. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm saying I'm acting. I'm asking it from the standpoint of the person who chose Kegseth as the candidate. You know, who else would you pick? Are there others? Yes, absolutely. Of those others, who would that person pick? And, you know,
01:13:52
Speaker
When you have all of these better choices, you're going to have people like are so like myself and you who are going to say, okay, I wish the best for that. But you could have made a better choice. ah you know And you just hope for the best for our country, ah really. i mean I hate to put it that diplomatically, but you know you just you hope for the best. That's all you can do.
01:14:16
Speaker
Yeah. and And so let's move into ah Donald Trump. The first week he obviously signed to almost 200 executive actions last week. I actually went through, I was pretty proud of myself. I named out the top 30 and I just went without trying to take a breath and it was crazy. But let's just go through some of these. Let's talk about the the the one at the forefront right now, which is immigration.
01:14:43
Speaker
Right now obviously there is a huge deportation happening it came out today that he wants them to up their quota to 1500 people deported every day so far they have sent flights back to Colombia back to Guatemala um back to Ecuador and some other places they sent about a thousand people or so I guess over the first couple of days and yeah you heard about what the columbian president did right you heard moment with the combian president yeah okay that's exactly what i was about to bring up so yeah We actually sent military planes to Columbia with some of these illegal aliens that they that they wanted them to take back.
01:15:22
Speaker
Colombian president Petro decided that he said no you're going to treat them uh, you're dignity dig dignified dignity way with dignity and send them on a Commercial airline rather than military. Well trump turned around and said nah, buddy This is going to be 25 terrorist which in a week will go up to 50 and then we're not letting any of your officials come in we're we're putting restrictions on all of your government officials all of these things and columbia to his to props to President Trump, Colombia turned around and said, okay, nevermind, we'll take you know all these people that you're sending over. What do you think about this so far? Because they don't want, Colombia doesn't want to, they can't, you can only poke the bear so much. And if you, you know it it was a and dance, it was a negotiation, it still is. It's gonna be for other countries too, where you know you're gonna have people that are going to be sent back
01:16:22
Speaker
And, you know, you just have to, the the president or who premier of that country is going to have to negotiate a little bit, maybe through social media or through the ah public, because I don't know whether they're going to, whether 47 is actually going to take a call from the president, from the president of whatever Mexico or premier of, I don't know, Finland or something like that. But, ah you know, it's a delicate balance. It really is.
01:16:51
Speaker
um this is what was asked for but it would seem to also god got into the office so and but it it would also seem to undercut his goal to reduce the country's trade deficit because unlike mexico or china columbia is one of the few countries that has a trade deficit with us of around 1.4 billion columbia is the us second biggest buyer of corn They also are our one of our biggest and this is gonna be less now that we're drilling for oil here But one of our biggest exporters for barrels of oil over 200,000 a day and our largest supplier of flowers Well, we're not gonna be able to give flowers to our mothers as much as we want to and that's the thing with supply and demand is that these Terrace are going to cause higher prices on American products
01:17:45
Speaker
They are there're already, if I may speak on speak on that real quick, they're already causing higher prices. I mean, to an extent, I went to my local Trader Joe's here in Bailey's Crossroads recently, and they didn't have eggs. It's because of the avian flu. Like, they first, I mean, they had eggs for a hot minute, and then I think it topped out at like, you know, $6 a carton.
01:18:11
Speaker
And then that was they didn't have them anymore. They were like, no, we're not going to ship them out from California. And California has their own issues. I know they've had a lot of wildfires recently, but ah this is part of it is, you know, we forty seven Trump was was elected to as part of this was his immigration mandate. And with him,
01:18:37
Speaker
shipping out 1500, maybe more individuals a day, ah you know presidents and premiers have to sort of navigate that. This is the the you know the scenario, the land that we're in at present. um And so I need to ask this because Yeah, obviously, Trump declared a national emergency at the border. He announced the so-called ending of catch and release where migrants are claiming asylum given court dates and then release pending those proceedings um also seeks to overturn birthright citizenship, which I know you might get into. um But when you have
01:19:16
Speaker
these things happen, it is not necessarily because I think we can both agree here and now that we don't want criminals in our country. I think we can know yeah anymore anyone who is illegal and is also a a felon or someone who has committed, you know, bad crimes. I'm not talking about a a driving citation. I'm talking about real crimes. Those people need to be out of our country.
01:19:39
Speaker
point blank period. I think we can all agree on that. But the problem that happens is when you seek to go into these different corners of immigration, and like you now start to affect people who are not criminals, people who are productive citizens, paying taxes, and doing right things that help the country in the economy. What do you say to that? Or they're legal citizens. Or they're legal citizens that are being caught up. Yeah.
01:20:05
Speaker
or if they are yeah And so you're, you're getting caught up in that. And then all of a sudden, like somebody says, do you go back to your home country? Well, my home country is here in the U S you know, what are you going to do then? Like, no, what are you going to do then? Sorry. I don't mean to say it like that, but but you know it's it's hard to, it's, it's hard to, that's hard to jive with a narrative that you've got. Um,
01:20:34
Speaker
It's, I said this or before, it's delegate dance. It's, I think the, and this is just my own personal opinion. I think that the executive actions are coming in. I understand where he's coming from, but I think they're coming in too fast, too quick. And I think that there's a reason for that. The reason is to throw everyone off their game because now you don't know what is the most important executive action of the moment.
01:21:04
Speaker
But it's it it's something that needs someone, and and I'm looking towards the administration, needs to slow things down a little bit. Let us catch our breath and go, okay, what's going to be the executive action or, you know, this week that society has to pay attention to. We already have so many other issues that we need to face with cybersecurity, meta changing their policies. And you know, this is other stuff that we can get into later. But the amount of I think he's you mentioned 300 and he's got like top 30. Like he's got another like 25 executive actions over the next few weeks, I think that he's trying to carry out. So
01:21:50
Speaker
I mean, obviously, the crazy part, you say say the crazy part and you said like he's not he's signing them so fast. It's not even like he even is conscious of what he's doing when they when they did their initial you know presentation where he's signing on ah in the in the Oval Office or he was signing at the Capitol Arena and they have and they keep passing them these bills and he's like, what's this? And they're like, oh, well, you know, it's to remove ourselves from the World Health Organization. Oh, well that sounds good. It's like, wait a second. and you Did you review these before or is this coming from Project 2025? Because I really need to know if you actually put thought into this or if you're just signing off on what your people want.
01:22:31
Speaker
somebody Somebody should check to see if one of them was a ballot to see if to get each row into the Hall of Fame, ah unanimously. Someone should check if if that also was something in executive action that he signed. Come on, that was a good joke. That was a good joke. No, no, it was. It was. You're just frozen, so I wasn't sure if you were joking or not, because you're faceless. I was joking. I was totally joking. I know. It's it's been frozen for like 30 minutes. at this We're 20 minutes at this point. Let me see.
01:23:02
Speaker
let see if that worked that didn't work at but anyways i think that just made it worse actually all right maybe we should have just gone with the with the picture that you had on there but floak is going to chime in flo is i work with him at the bottom high sports he is a republican well now okay he says he is a war veteran with two combat tours and been involved with me on oh So all right, flow well, let's talk about this, right? I know many veterans, and I'm sure you do as well, who have been in two combat or more tours. Being in a combat veteran does not make you wholly qualified to run the Department of Defense. It just does not. Sorry. I don't care how many wars you've been to. That doesn't make you qualified for that. And it doesn't matter how many veterans you've been involved with. Again, i can I can give you a person I know personally who I will not mention their government name because that's not necessary here. But I know a person who works as in the as an assistant department
01:23:49
Speaker
of a director of defense at the Pentagon who was had combat tours and who is more wholly qualified than Pete Hexes. So there are pet more people. Now, again, we wish him the best, but just because you're a combat veteran flow and you know this, that does not make you qualified to run a whole Department of Defense. That's just not even possible.
01:24:09
Speaker
Now, moving on to his other one, which I'll give you a little more leeway on this than I will the Hexen, but Olsen, Gabbard, and RFK were beloved by the Dems until they saw where the party was going. Too many misinformation about them both. um rx RFK has never been anti-vaxxed. We're going to talk about that now because I'm going to have a moral talk about that because I don't believe that's true.
01:24:30
Speaker
i think I don't think that's true either. I'm pretty out there about that. We're going to you yeah have to give us citations sources on that, sir. But he says, RK has never been anti-vaxxie questioned how ah they were approved. So I am not a Democrat. I am in the middle. I was never in the Democrats like you were and have been since that was your party of record when you did politics. Well, they're not following me anymore, which I'm kind of glad about. But you know, um ah Tulsi, we liked Tulsi for a while. And there were a lot of, she was beloved in the Indian community here in the DC metro area. And ah it just, she decided one day that she didn't like where the party was going. I think it was during the Obama years. And that's when she handed in her resignation and was like, all right, I'm going to go play for the other team for a little bit.
01:25:22
Speaker
which was very West Wing-ish because it's happened like on the West Wing, there was but we can get into that later. With RFK, RFK is always, at least from my understanding, and please, um you know cite your sources, feel free to correct correct me if i'm yeah correct me if I'm wrong and I'll stand corrected, but ah he's always been anti-vax ever since he popped on the screen. like popped up He's always been, he's never been like,
01:25:51
Speaker
I think his uncle, JFK, he's never been like JFK. He's always like every, with everything he's he's broken. um And he's very firmly anti-vax.
01:26:03
Speaker
Um, but again, I want to believe that both have good intentions for the country, especially Tulsi, if she ever decides to, to switch. Um, I might have a crush on you again. I'm just putting it out there, Tulsi. Uh, but, uh, if you ever decide to switch parties and come back home, but, uh, you know, uh, it's okay if you don't, it's fine. Uh, we had a good thing, you know, much like a Warren and Taylor, we had a good, you know, they had a good thing. We had a good thing.
01:26:33
Speaker
But in
Economic Issues and Cabinet Qualifications
01:26:34
Speaker
all seriousness you have to hope that these guys are gonna be able to um Take the party or take the country in a direction that everyone is okay with when it comes to immigration when it comes to You know The price of eggs when it comes to our economy I mean, look at what happened today with ah the Chinese AI that decided to throw, yeah, to throw um Nvidia and all the other tech stocks in a tizzy. You knew Apple was going to go down because Apple hasn't, I mean, I'm going to take shots at Apple for a second. I mean, I love, I love using my iPhone, but like,
01:27:18
Speaker
they should innovate, come on. um And if you're if you're not going to innovate, Nvidia is going to laugh you, you know, twice and 10 times on Sunday, um twice a day and 10 times on Sunday. um And it's just something that I don't know, I want to believe that this is setting us up for the best of of intentions. I want us to do decently well, I would like the people that are supposed to be confirmed to be confirmed so that contracts can get following again. I realized that they may not be the right people, but you have to believe that something is going to, you know, that they're actually going to speak to the better angels and we'll be okay. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. Um, Hey brother, go ahead and jump out and try to jump back in and see if that fixes your camera and I'll just keep it moving until you come back. I'll be back. All right.
01:28:13
Speaker
All right, so yeah, um yo you're right. folks The president does. He gets to choose his cabinet. There's nothing we can say about that, but they do have confirmation hearings for a reason because you do need to figure out if those people are qualified for the position. And for Pete Hegseth, again, being a combat veteran and going to war and knowing other veterans and working with other veterans does not make you qualified at all.
01:28:35
Speaker
Not for any of us. I don't care if it's me, you, him, my other buddy, right? if If he hasn't worked in the Department of Defense, which he hasn't, he's been working at Fox News. If he hasn't worked yeah at the Pentagon or places like that, then clearly he doesn't have the expertise or the knowledge clearly. But again, as we mentioned, we hope that they put the right lieutenants in place that will be able to help him. We wish them nothing but the best because obviously we don't want the as a veteran, especially I don't want the country to go down.
01:29:04
Speaker
But, um you know, there are questions for a reason when they go ah when they question these people. For Tulsi Gabbard, I don't care that she used to be a Democrat. What I care about is that she has contacts inside of Russia and contacts inside of Iran, Iran. And you should not have that if you're going to be the director of of national intelligence.
01:29:23
Speaker
Sorry, youre I know for a fact that when you're in the and intel side of things, you are not supposed to have any contacts from any foreign countries, adversary or ally. It could be somebody from Canada and they ain't supposed to have contacts with them. You're just not supposed to do it. So that's my issue with her.
01:29:43
Speaker
RFK I actually I actually have high hopes for him because I think that processed food needs to be eliminated sugar things like that do I question his anti-vax stance which again we're gonna have to I'm gonna get those sources from you Flo to see where that's from because anything I've ever heard him say has all been anti-vax to this point but you're right he does get to choose and I'm glad that we could have these conversations a mole is a is a is a Democrat on record I am an independent you are a conservative on record I'm glad that we could have these these discussions and have them civilly. um And that's fine, Flo, but how many people have 20 years military experience? A lot of people. How many officers? How many officers that actually work at the Department of Defense right now and would be more qualified? That's what I'm talking about. But again, we'll wish him the best. um As for this, taking care of NC, I don't know what NC means. Hold on. I'm taking care of NC. Hold on. Something in the last minutes. Oh, he's talking about, I don't know what he's talking about, he's talking about ah the what happened with ah the floods in North Carolina.
01:30:49
Speaker
ah please talk If if by taking care of like could you elaborate on that because all I remember is I'm throwing paper towels at everybody I think in North Carolina, but I couldn't That was Puerto Rico. That's okay. That was Puerto Rico. It was a hurricane. He has been known to to show off. um
01:31:13
Speaker
and administration did anything for the wildfires because they started right at the end of their administration so i wouldn't um expected that anyways because so ever since trump got elected he's been the de facto president so he's been making all the decisions so that that i can't put on the on the last administration ah but yeah i mean there are there are times where where you know their administrations have problems that they're handling especially at the end with the transitions that we said that makes it very difficult because you have two competing philosophies trying to yeah trying to do the same thing so um but yeah thank you for again Flo for i' always tuning in y'all make sure to check me and Flo out tomorrow night
01:31:47
Speaker
the bottom line sports at 8pm. We'll be running with our boys, Hot Tech, Jake, and Canteen. We'll be doing our Super Bowl preview, early Super Bowl preview. We'll talk some NBA, NHL, and a little bit of some early baseball as well. So tune in tomorrow night at 8pm for that. ah Let's continue on here. um I do want to ask you before I get into the hot round of questions, ah no the most one that's most ah controversial is the birthright citizenship. So he wants to end birthright citizenship with which in the in the amendment institution right and in the constitution and i'll let you explain this further since you are well more well-versed than i am in the constitution but essentially we gotta we gotta we gotta we gotta good education from professor holla
01:32:33
Speaker
so So essentially, birthright citizenship guarantees you citizenship within the country if you are born in the country. But Trump is saying, well, wait a second. If you're not born in the country to to parents who are legally here, then why should you be given that birthright citizenship? So from a constitutional um perspective, being the expert that you are, what do you say to this? First, I'm going to say this. I am not a constitutional scholar, but I know this much.
01:33:01
Speaker
If it's in the Constitution, there are within the Constitution, if you were born and raised here, you grew up, you have kids or you legally came here, then you and you decide to have kids. Your kids are U.S. citizens. Now, if he wants to challenge that, there's already, I think, six ah lawsuits, yeah you know, challenging or like they're among the six lawsuits that are present.
01:33:31
Speaker
um that hey you know that that are challenging birthright citizenship uh in my own personal opinion i think it's a good idea to challenge something within the constitution but if he's angling to change what's in the constitution this wouldn't be the way that i would do it but uh okay how would you go about it just i would raise an amendment i would ask for an amendment to be passed That's because he does need an amendment. If you can get an amendment passed, then you can change it, right? Yeah, yeah. If you got if you got an amendment passed, you can you can get a change. But he would have to have the amendment. You can't just say, I want, you know, I want a Lamborghini or I want, you know, my, I don't know, I want my Raiders to go to the I'm just I'm gonna pick on you for a second. I want my Raiders to win the Super Bowl. You can't just
01:34:23
Speaker
say that and they like stack your fingers and it'll happen. um He's got to be able to show showed just cause. And to be able to to show just cause is to put in for an amendment and or ask Congress to to you know sit down and write an amendment to the to the US Constitution. And until he does that, it's not going to go anywhere. I don't think.
01:34:51
Speaker
okay and so and so just ah and to that's write a c citizenship just just birthright citizenship in general like i don't think it'll go anywhere until he's gotten an amendment and i don't think he'll get the amendment okay so and yeah a lot of people don't think constitutionally he will he will be able to get uh that amendment because of the fact that That is just very hard to get things changed institutionally, but it really is, you know, again, but like we said, he's signing executive actions, fast and furious, including all the things we talked about, including the federal hiring freeze that you mentioned earlier, which is keeping positions.
01:35:28
Speaker
from being filled. um There's also the DEI, getting rid of DEI out of every yes at every, rooting it out of government.
DEI Policies and Political Commentary
01:35:35
Speaker
Now, whatever you may think, or what you you've heard and and and what you believe, because again, and as we know, the media the media and the news are going to tell their followers, their base, their side, whatever it is that they want. I don't fall i don't watch the news as much anymore. That's what you're asking.
01:35:51
Speaker
No, not you but I know a lot of people that do and that take everything from the news and it's not always gospel because a lot of times they're telling you what they want you to think or want you to know when it when sometimes it's not exactly true and so if we actually want to get into woke politics and I had this conversation with Flo and it was a very it was one of the first times we talked politics and it got kind of heated um yeah he knows that he knows my explanation and and and any person that is maybe on the right or even of of a different than minority status. um right well Woke is just code word yeah on the on the right. It's just a buzzword for minorities, for black and brown.
01:36:36
Speaker
But when that word was actually established when it was established by the minority community by black and brown people, it was a word that was established to mean situational awareness, to stay aware of your surroundings, to not let the man get you down. And so to be turned around and used as woke and against the minority community and the black and brown people who made up the word in the first place, it's very it's very disingenuous of the right to to do things like that and then extend it into DEI and CRT, which DEI was put in place to help marginalized minorities that don't get the things that other groups do. And if you believe that that's not true, you are completely lying and you know that you are.
01:37:32
Speaker
Right. And it's spread after what happened with with George Floyd, which is fine. I get it. I respect it. I will say this. He wants a lot of things changed. OK, fine. I mean, you know, some people want a pony. He wants a bunch of other things to be, you know, changed. They're not all going to change overnight. I know he wants them to.
01:37:55
Speaker
But, you know, I've already seen companies out there go, we're still going to be DEI. We're going to still be inclusive and we're still going to have diverse hires. Now they may, I've heard what's in the podcast where they say that, uh, where it said that they may, uh, you know, do it quietly.
01:38:17
Speaker
And if they do it quietly, that's fine. I even heard somebody say she was based at a like GW ah and the like just was a professor up the street and at George Washington University. And she says how many of the effective well, you know, maybe woke isn't a real word. And it's like, OK, well, now you're just now you're just making stuff up. But if this is you know, where we're going as a society, we have to adapt. You know, I understand these trying to enact all these measures, which is fine. That's what every new president does when they're trying to make an imprint on society. Reagan did it. Carter did it. Bush won and two did it. You know, Biden and Obama did it. and I mean, Trump did it too. The first you know wave, I think he did it. He's doing it more now.
01:39:15
Speaker
um and it's not a problem if you're trying to level the play on playing field but let's be completely about it the playing field was never level and the playing field has never been level right and it still isn't even with DEI and affirmative action everything else it's still not it's still high level it's still not level and that's the the the thing is you can You can say that the everyone's equal. You can say that, you know, everyone's getting a certain amount of pay. You can say that, but the people that are actually living the lives know that
01:39:53
Speaker
That's not true. like We know how much we're going to be. Yeah, it's categorically false kind of There's no way you can sit here and tell me that taking affirmative action out of colleges and especially the elite colleges where all you have are Caucasian individuals is helping to make that university better. It's not. Or better, or better than whitewashing history.
01:40:17
Speaker
or white washing history yeah or white washing history well like you can't say that and you know yeah this is our history like i'm sorry i i did this just by happenstance today but the shirt i'm wearing the Tuskegee airman air force was talking about or he he told air force to to stop um you know teaching the history of that no like let's not because you know there's certain things that we need to learn as a society, that kids need to learn as a society, that you and I grew up learning. Or if we didn't learn in the classroom, we went to Ms. Lelinger, we asked her and she gave us a book on what was gonna happen. Sorry. You know what I mean.
01:41:04
Speaker
So yeah and flow flow we have no problem citing sources. Let us know what you want us to. Obviously anything we talked about here today, we didn't actually quote anything. You were the one that ah mentioned that RFK was not anti-vaxx. So that's why we asked for the source on that. We not have not made any declarative statements.
01:41:21
Speaker
ah We've only been giving our opinion, but definitely would not have a problem giving you that if I do make a statement of declarity that needs to be ah proven. ah That being said, thank you for this. Anybody who wants to check out this is his article about ah RFK Jr. on vaccines. I would definitely read that after the program. Thank you for giving us that flow. He also says, and you're going to have to answer this,
01:41:43
Speaker
all the experience of the last sec death was military experience so um who was the the sec death and what kind of experience did they have under joe biden uh let's find out hold on uh last sec death because i don't remember who the last sec death was i know so well you're gonna have to come again you missed that last one uh i don't remember who the last uh sec death was give me just a second no you're fine Lloyd James Austin was the, it looks like Lloyd James Austin was the secretary of defense. Oh yeah. Lloyd James Austin was also the director of the Pentagon ah flow. So come on, man. That's not even an app comparison. Lloyd Austin was the director of the Pentagon before he got moved up to there. So I don't even want to hear that. Was Hanksap ever a four-star general? Because that's what Austin was. He was an officer and he was never even in the Pentagon or any of those Department of Defense places. And Mysores.
01:42:40
Speaker
yeah i swear By sources the us department of defense government site dated january 16 2025 Yeah, you can get out of there without one flow. That one does not work at all. They are not even comparable Um, but again, he was also the first but he was also the first black, uh defense secretary. Sorry, i'm gonna stop but no, you're fine But with the bei, you know, uh, the flows party may not may not have liked him being in there anyways I won't say flow because I'm not going to, uh, you're not impressed with four star general flow. Well, sorry, they made it there somehow. Uh, you and I never made it there. So we can't say shit. So, I mean, thanks for not being impressed, but they obviously did a lot to of work to get there. You and I both know that you know how hard it is to get promoted. All right.
01:43:27
Speaker
Um, well, not in the, not in some like the Navy and army get promoted pretty quickly. If you really don't say anything about how long it took us to get promoted in the air force, but that's neither here nor there. All right. Let me hit you with a speed round of questions before we go here for the day. Um, some of these are going to be funny side of things. Some are going to be on the more serious side of things. So I'll start you off with a funny, I'll start you off with a funny one. Are you going to limit me? Are you going to limit me to like how long I have to answer? I'm curious. I need you all. Okay. All right.
01:43:56
Speaker
We have 15 minutes left in the program and I have about 10 questions. So do about a minute Okay, that works. All right first question Watching the inauguration Obviously someone was not happy to be there so much so that they covered themselves in total black to try to hide from the ah from the crew and wore a hat and so you couldn't see their face. And to me, this looked a little bit reminiscent of a Dick Tracy villain. What was Melania dressed like, my friend? Is this Who Framed Roger Rabbit? What is happening right now? this this is this She was either the either Who Framed Roger Rabbit or the Hamburglar. I'm surprised you didn't bring that up. I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Hamburglar. But I will say this. I will say this respectfully.
01:44:51
Speaker
I think she had the hat on because she didn't want to kiss 47. And that's okay, you know, that they had an air kiss. Good for them. But my mom said that she wanted to go buy that outfit. I was like, you're crazy. and Don't you ever come in this house looking like that? i'm go be I mean, your mom can, but when will she she just when is she gonna wear it?
01:45:11
Speaker
I was like, what is this, the 1920s? What are we wearing here? I don't understand. You're at a point where, okay, are wait, when are you going to wear the, when are you going to wear it, if you're going to buy it? Like, the hat too? Definitely not ever wearing that. um Another thing that happened at the inauguration, ah which I've never seen before, and and I feigned ignorance here because ah i wouldly that see that big into politics as you were but i've watched the inauguration ceremonies before i don't ever remember there being speeches
01:45:47
Speaker
and so I wasn't really paying attention so I didn't see when he gave the speech I had to later go back and watch it because I was like wait presidents give speeches and the other presidents are there but I did go back and watch a couple which were all pretty cordial but when I watched this one I noticed that he was pretty hard on Joe Biden, the outgoing president, who was sitting directly behind him. I thought that was pretty uncouth. I didn't feel like that was very respectful. I get you may not like him, and I get that you're on different politics parties and different sides of the aisle.
01:46:23
Speaker
but if we're going to be grow grow as a country and progress as a country we need to have more unity and disparaging the outgoing president in a time where you should be celebrating and being celebrated as coming in as the president just seems a little a little petty seems not even a little petty just seems really mad petty it just seems very it's just very unbecoming it did not look or act as what a president should be and I just felt that that was kind of I don't know I didn't like it too much I thought that that's not the time for that if you want to talk about what you want to do or celebrate your people and your your your vice president stuff like that fine do all that but to talk crap about the other president while they're sitting right behind you I didn't find that to be funny or or crafty or smart or any of the above so
01:47:10
Speaker
um When we get a mole back in, he should be coming back here in a second. I'll go through a couple more things. One thing I wanted to talk about, and this is more of my own instead of a mole, so I can talk about this one here myself until he comes back, but one executive action that was signed into ah order um by the president in this in these actions were the He issued an executive order that rescinded executive order 14,006 that President Biden issued on 2020 when to eliminate the use of privately operated criminal detention facilities.
Prison System and Social Justice
01:47:48
Speaker
So this means that President Donald Trump has now signed an executive action to bring back into play privatized prisons.
01:47:57
Speaker
Now, if you've watched me, if you watch Ball and Buds, if you've watched the mind of the professor, I did a whole segment on privatized prisons and why that should not be a thing. And it never should be because the only thing that privatized imprisonment does is encourage people to be more more people encourages law enforcement and government officials to imprison more people to be able to make money off of the backs of those indentured servitude which is just slavery and
01:48:30
Speaker
One of the reasons that privatized prisons were put into play in the first place back in the day were to be able to continue slavery without it actually being called slavery. Because when slavery was abolished with the Emancipation Proclamation, there was a rule that came into play that said you can still use slavery as or indentured servitude as a form of punishment.
01:48:57
Speaker
which then turned into privatized prison, which then turns into imprisoning more people and putting more, especially since we know the majority of people are black and brown and and and more minorities, that this is just putting more of those types of people into prisons in order to make more money and use their labor in these in these places. I can tell you for sure because I have fond experience with someone who was in the local county jail here, who told me that when they were doing ah work for the the jail, for the prison, they were made to go, you know, you've seen the side of the road, people that pick up trash, they were to go to the landfill and do work. They were to go to these other places. And um whether you believe that that's right or not,
01:49:50
Speaker
um The fact that indentured servitude can still be put on as a form of slavery due to punishment is something that is just a crock of BS and is used to hold a lot of people down that that maybe shouldn't. and And it also is used to adjudicate a lot of crimes and also charge people for higher amounts of sentences for lower amounts of crimes because of the fact that they get paid to keep those prisons at least 90% full. And if they don't keep it 90% full, they start to lose their funding. So this is why I do not believe in privatized prisons. I do not think that we should want to imprison people in this society. I think we should want to rebilitate rehabilitate before imprisoning. Now, yes, are there obviously some really bad criminals and people in this world, murderers,
01:50:42
Speaker
Rapists other things child molesters that deserve to be imprisoned maybe even you know What is it called the? Death penalty sure yes I do agree But I do not agree with privatized prisons because all it does is try to imprison more people and you end up again Imprisoning people that maybe don't deserve it or get in prison for a longer time Because you're trying to punish them more to make more money off their backs. How do you feel about that?
01:51:08
Speaker
So I feel relieved to be back. um So while you were out, ah by the stream died. So I was just trying to, but I caught the the tail end of that. So I don't know if you saw me at all. I will say this.
01:51:25
Speaker
um I think it's better that we re but rehabilitate than put people in prisons. I don't think it's fair to do that. We already have a stacked prison system. We already have a social system and it there there needs to be some sort of, I hate to use an nf the NFL term, parody, but like there needs to be some sort of level of parody, some level of respect too.
01:51:54
Speaker
i mean We have to be able to rehabilitate or allow for the act of rehabilitation um and people to get out there and try to do the best that they can with the life that they have if they've been given the second chance. um These are all very ambitious, like, you know, and I think he has to understand respectfully as president what he can feasibly get through, wait what he can, you know, and what can't. He's not going to be able to get everything. I mean, unless he really within the next 18 months tries to push everything through, it's not going to happen. um So we'll kind of
01:52:47
Speaker
take it from where we are and and kind of go from there. But I think that that's, you know, what we have to look forward to. Because you remember growing up, like, Wharton was right up the street from us. Oh, yeah, right across the street from my house. Wharton Prison, I remember. Yeah, so it's just one of those things where you know there are people that are ah you know in ah that that are in ah jail wrongly some are in jail because they you know it's correct. A lot of people are improperly and mis adjudicated and put in jail and for for reasons that they don't belong.
01:53:29
Speaker
Absolutely. And so they have to be able to to sit there and go, OK, to think about their lives and think about what happened and where things are going. um Again, it's ambitious. Will it work out? Maybe. Probably not. But that's, you know, up to, um you know, that's that's up to a lot of factors out of our control at the moment.
01:53:55
Speaker
Sorry, i admit it sort of died, so I had to switch to the... No, you're good, you're good. Flo, I see your comment. I'll bring them up at the end. I just want to get through these. And then we'll, if you have any more comments, Flo, just throw them in there and we'll bring them all up here at the end and we'll go through them. But I want to get through these first. So one thing that did happen, and again, I have a friend that is a Capitol police officer that was there January 6th, working that day, fighting the protesters.
Political Norms and Controversial Actions
01:54:20
Speaker
um Yeah.
01:54:20
Speaker
and Thank God we had a peaceful transfer of power this time around. Yes. Biden and Harris were peacefully signed everything over. He even had coffee or tea, yeah with with so which I would have never done. Sorry, you're going to talk all this crap about me. You're going to do all this to me. I'm not going to meet with you. I'm just going to peace out. So the fact that he did any of that is ah is a big props.
01:54:44
Speaker
to to the outgoing party for being able to peacefully transfer power and not have a bunch of hooligans and other people ransacking the capital, which right there were pardons. So let's talk about these pardons because first of all, the and and both sides of the aisle are very hippo Hippocratic, right? There are a lot of hypocrisy going on on both sides. um But one thing that was really rich and stuck out was the fact that the GOP, the conservative side of the aisle, was open arms when Biden ah pardoned his family and the other people that could have been attacked for the January 6th committee, then conducted and turned around and released all the J6 prisoners. um yeah Now,
01:55:31
Speaker
If there were people that were there, again, improperly, there were a lot of people that did not do anything violent that day or didn't have violent records that did not need to be in jail. I agree with them being released. But a whole blanket pardon when you had a lot of those people that are violent criminals and that really did some damage in that capital that my friend has personally told me about. That really spits in my face when you talk about deporting illegal aliens. It does. It does.
01:55:59
Speaker
feel I mean my I kind of feel like Here we go again. Like I live I'm not gonna tell you guys where but let's just say i I I live close to the capital and When your apartment is in lockdown because of the stuff that's gone on not once but twice, you know when you're just sort of like I you know wondering what's gonna happen if people are actually gonna be you know popping into your and knocking on your doors and and trying to to get you out that's a problem and then you go ahead and you and that was on j6 and then you go ahead and let those people out like uh you know that's that's not a necessarily good look i understand why he may have done it because he said he wanted to
01:56:51
Speaker
um he he said he wanted to do it but uh you know it isn't gonna be very well received i understand that like he doesn't need more votes i'm sorry he's not running for reelection like you don't need more votes sir like you're you're you're good Now that's the other thing though, because in a speech he had it the other day, he was heard, overheard saying, not overheard, he said it, I watched it. yeah ah he said maybe Maybe he'll give me a third term and maybe a fourth term. And yeah I'm sorry, only dictators speak like that.
01:57:25
Speaker
Yes, and and he's forgetting very perhaps because he wants to he's forgetting he's not FDR and term limits didn't exist back then in FDR's term time. And so, ah you know, he I think it was FDR who came up with the four year term.
01:57:43
Speaker
that we have now. So i really, you just have to once again hope that he doesn't, you know, over he does the proper thing and and hands all of this over to the answer, whoever else he wants to in the future. And I don't know who's going to run in 2028. Don't ask me, it could be you, it could be me. ah But ah the Democrats have nobody right now. So we'll see what happens there.
01:58:10
Speaker
I mean, yeah, they have nobody. So like I said, it could be you. It could be me who runs in 28. And but we'll see how that shakes out. It has to be done. I just think that's very, very, very, very, you know, hypocritical of him. It is. It's very hypocritical. To release prisoners, especially people like Stewart Rhodes, Tarrio from the Proud Boys, these people who are violent criminals um that did not deserve to get out. Now, again, the people that didn't do anything or may not have violent past, fine.
01:58:39
Speaker
Let them out but to give a blanket pardon and then turn around and say oh all the illegal aliens who are criminals need to get out Well, then why are you keeping the criminals that were already in jail in jail? Why are you letting them out onto our streets? He wanted to that was what he wanted. Yeah, then stand by right? So there you go. Hey, um, let's look at two more questions I have for sure one's gonna wonder to be very super serious. The last one will be a funny one Okay Elon Musk, Trump's first buddy, the other day at a political rally. That was a salute. That was a salute. Let's move on. That was a salute. That was in fact a salute.
01:59:23
Speaker
ah So no doubt in your mind, that was that was a big shield. Is that what I'm saying? Is that what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. but I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You can't tell me that.
01:59:35
Speaker
that that he's autistic and he's on the spectrum and that's why he's doing these things. I've never seen anyone autistic on the spectrum. Give that salute. I've also never seen that salute given like that Even if you're trying to get your heart out, you can't play that off I saw it and I right away knew what it was and then Even when I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because there's a bunch of people online Oh, he's just giving the Roman salute or oh, he didn't mean it. There is no Roman salute There is as it turns out there is no Roman salute of like, all right People will try anything
02:00:07
Speaker
the
02:00:12
Speaker
this is saying thank you like you know you don't um'm not goingnna make the gesture that he made but like you know it it but then what proves it to me because again I'm a person who likes to give people the benefit of doubt what proved it to me was today he released a statement to the Germans political party and told them to not feel bad about the Nazi stuff anymore okay now you're just telling me that you are completely you are telling me
02:00:46
Speaker
You are. I mean, I'm sorry, look at your, look at Tesla. Somebody pull up like, I mean, I just closed my laptop, but like, sorry to pull up Tesla's stock price today. and And how bad it's tanked since, you know, um yeah since he got, ah since Trump got elected.
02:01:03
Speaker
uh since you know Elon Musk became you know a heartbeat away and usually it's the secretary of uh what should we call it it's this it's this senator for pro tempore that's uh you know a heartbeat away from the presidency but you know um that was that was a salute we're just gonna leave it at that it was there's there's no other way around that no one can tell me any different i saw it from my own eyes and yeah and he tried to play it off but he knew what he was doing and i cannot in good conscience you may be able to give him a benefit of the doubt i cannot
02:01:36
Speaker
I tried until I heard that statement today. And when I heard him tell the political party in Germany to not feel bad about Nazism anymore, I was like, nah, you can't tell me that and tell me you did that on purpose. Those two don't drive. All right, one last one. This is a funny one. And I've been having a good time with this one. When Trump was on the rally scene going into the being inaugurated, and one special band he liked to play and one special band he brought on stage It will always and forever blow my mind that because Donald Trump couldn't get any other music cleared from the likes of the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen to Adele to Taylor Swift to Riot, YMCA to anybody. He chose the gayest damn anthem I have ever seen in my whole entire life and used it when he doesn't like gay people or transgender people or anything of the sort.
02:02:36
Speaker
so I don't really need a retort on this. I think it's just more funny than anything that the man that would that has tried to take anything gay or otherwise out of the lexicon and out of i you know the the society at large, yeah that he would use that anthem as his rallying cry. what's say right I really have nothing to say. oh Okay. um i'm i'm I love music. I love all kinds of music. ah I will say this. i will Okay, let me back up. If you know you're gonna not get like, ah you know, clearance to do, to to get like Springsteen or Taylor Swift or, you know, Beyonce on your,
02:03:28
Speaker
there's this There are companies out there, Artlist is one, there's a couple others, where you can use samplings of music and you can you know be good to go in that regard. no i I don't know necessarily if if he felt the need to do that. um I name checked Artlist, but you know there's others.
02:03:55
Speaker
Yeah, actually, float flow throw in the chat what the one is you use for the stream, because by the way, I still need to check that out. So throw that in the chat. But yeah, there are places where you can go and get copyrighted music and use it, you you know, pay a monthly fee, and you'll be able to sample it or whatever. show and yeah And that's what he could have done. but each yeah that's a But also, when you get cease and desist from every famous artist and they're like dead relatives, like, you know, you're doing something like that people don't like.
02:04:24
Speaker
so hey All right, well, let's run through a few comments here because you're breaking up over there. Flo says that the ADL said it wasn't a salute. So the ADL is the Anti-Defamation League. um I did hear that they did say something to this effect, but I don't care. That could easily be that they got paid off. He could have easily sent them a huge so of sum of money to have them say that. So that that could be politically or or financially motivated for them to say that. So I can't trust them.
02:04:52
Speaker
um because all of those things just in in political world, that's how that works. money Money can make things happen. I'm sorry, I saw it with my own eyes. It was a salute. Flo, you cannot tell me that you watched that and you'd think anything otherwise because it was clearly a Nazi salute.
02:05:09
Speaker
um They've been in prison without a trial for four years look flow the people that did know violent crimes or the people that didn't do any Cause any harm to the Capitol the people that maybe just walked in with the rest of the crew and walked around Those people don't even deserve to be punished.
Protests and Societal Implications
02:05:25
Speaker
I agree with you But the people that already had criminal records, the leaders of these of some of these white supremacist groups, the people that already had felonies and other things on their records, or the people that actually caused damage within the Capitol, the people that actually hurt the cops,
02:05:42
Speaker
any of the people that beat up on that cop or put him in the door and the guy that was hitting the cop with the flagpole any of those people I don't care if you've been there four years without trial you go till they put you in trial you know many people are in jail for 20-30 years without trial never get a trial you don't care about those people But now you care about these people. So again, if they didn't do a crime, or if they didn't do anything to the Capitol that day, they deserve to be let free. If they did any crime that day, or they had any prior convictions, felony, violence, whatever, they deserve to stay there until that is adjudicated. And that's the final answer to that. And if Flo is it flows an attorney at all, he he or she should be aware that it takes the judicial system takes a while.
02:06:26
Speaker
There are people who have been in prison who wait years to get a trial. And sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't. Um, and again, they would have gotten a quick trial now that they had their, their, their party in office. So that wasn't, that's not a good excuse. Um, yes okay. So here we go. Here's what he wants. Citation from a mall. So if you can send this over to me, I'll give it to him tomorrow. Uh, but, um, you, you said that he made them stop just easy airmen. And he said, that's not true. He says an air force official told the air force times, the videos themselves were not targeted for removal.
02:07:01
Speaker
but that BMT classes that include diversity materials were pooled and now under review for compliance. all all I'll send you the NPR links that I that i got this from because they've they've been talking about it all day on on NPR. Okay, and I think that those things need to be taught. Tuskegee Airmen, slavery, all these things need to be taught in schools and in the military. Anything that that you try to hide through whitewashing or not having diversity by getting rid of DEI, you're basically just whitewashing things. and You're basically trying to keep the history of America
02:07:35
Speaker
as something that is truly not when you've had so many other groups and minorities and racial races that have helped to progress this nation to where they're at. Final comment here, he says none of the BLM protesters went to jail at all or for very long and there was very much more violence this summer. let me Let me say this very loud and clear for anyone watching this show or anyone who is a fan of mine or anyone who in the future will ever want to watch anything of mine If you compare, if you ever compare a couple of, yes, and there were some protests that turned violent, some riots that police cars burned, police stations vandalized, things like that. But if you ever compare that to the Capitol where our government and our Constitution live, those things again are not in app comparison.
02:08:31
Speaker
One thing was done because a might a segment of the population, black and brown people, are systematically and ah brutalized by the police. And this one black man was killed in the in the middle of daylight in front of the whole world to see. And the world was fed up, not just in this country, but in any other country. And so for the fact that the protests were to save lives of people who were ah who were unjustly harmed and sometimes murdered is not the same as trying to get in a president and reinstall him after he lost an election. Those two things are not even close to the same. I don't even care if you believe the election was rigged that still does not give them the right to go in
02:09:23
Speaker
and cause the violence and harm that they did that day and those two things are not comparable and if you come to me and try to tell me that people going out and causing a little bit of harm to a couple police stations that at that point probably deserved it from all the lives that they took is the same thing as the violence that happened at the Capitol that day all you're telling me is that you might have some racist tendencies in you that's pretty much it sorry that's the way I feel I'm not speaking for a mole but I'm speaking for myself Don't like it. Check yourself. And that goes for YouTube. I'm just gonna stay quiet. Me and Flo can keep it working. but But he knows how I feel about that. If you think anything about
02:10:04
Speaker
ah Wokeness, DEI, the BLM protests, which BLM was another boogeyman word that the that the right used, because BLM was not even an organization. All it was was just a statement that black lives matter. Because in order for all lives to matter, as the GOP like to say or the converts everybody like to say, if all lives are going to matter,
02:10:25
Speaker
Black lives have to matter. Brown lives have to matter. And right now in this country, they don't. When I can go out in Nashville on a weekly basis, and because I'm brown, and because my name is Omar, I have so many people that are racist to me and discriminatory to me, and this happens to me on a weekly basis, then yes, we still have problems in this in this in this country.
02:10:49
Speaker
BLM was much more violent and destructive. That's not true. um If you want to say that again, a couple police stations being harmed is the same as what happened in the capital of that day. That's just not true. It's not. um If you're saying a couple businesses, yeah, they shouldn't have burned down the small businesses in their own communities. I agree. But if you're going to say that the that the two are equal, um maybe the destruction in terms of fire and loss of buildings may have been more, but the reasoning was much more justified than the reasoning ever.
02:11:18
Speaker
for January 6th, and there's no argument that can be had for that. So, that being said, again, hey people are going to have their different opinions, but again, if you think that that it's justified ah for for that to happen just to try to install or reinstall a person who had lost an election just because they tried to hype you up to do that, and you can in your mind justify that that's the same as protesting,
02:11:45
Speaker
thousands and hundreds of thousands of of of lives that have been affected by not only produced police brutality but lives lost to police. um I can tell you myself I have personally dealt with police brutality on me multiple times so I can attest to the fact that it happens all the time and that it's never talked about.

She was awesome there recording me yesterday at University of Maryland. Shout out to my alma mater. I do love you even though I am and was rooting for UCLA. You know, I still love you. That being said, I wanted to stick around for a second. Cause I had to say something that I didn't want to say in the show. Cause I didn't want to be rude. Cause you know, uh, just like trick daddy, Omar love the kids, right? We love the kids. We want to make sure the kids are, are having a good time. What the hell was that? This baby crawl. Did you see that baby crawl? I just, yo, these babies got to be the most, most,
02:19:52
Speaker
non-perceptive human beings in the world. I thought babies were supposed to pay attention to everything, but all these damn babies didn't move. They said go. One baby started just fell on the floor fat out flat on her face and started crying. The dad was like, go, go. He was all mad and she wouldn't move. The other baby started looking good, got out there and just sat there.
02:20:15
Speaker
But the one baby, Gabby, she went out there and kicked all their asses. She went out there and said, I see mom on the other side of the court. I'm going for it. And she blasted all of them. She left them all in they dutch. Gabby was the champion. The rest of those bums, the rest of those kids, man, go home and take some climbing lessons. Your parents better give you some so so some ah some climbing, some crawling training. Because y'all have bums out here losing this race like that. Pitiful, making your parents look Look, like they ain't training you correctly. Shout out to Gabby who won the baby crawl and I just wanted to put that out there. I didn't think I should say that in the middle of the show, but it is pretty funny. So I definitely wanted to get that out. And man, I got a little crazy there at the end, right? ah Hey, we all have a different opinion. Whenever you believe is what you believe. But you know, when you come to this show, you know what you're gonna get from me and you know what I believe in. And I believe in justice and equality for all.
