Introduction and Weekly Overview
00:00:24
Speaker
toe, release the flow. Created by this mic pro. Lights, cameras, get low. Action back, back to back. In fact, this monster will grow. Y'all better let him know. Man with the master plan and you have no need to know. You can't prepare, now get ready for the show. Sports professor on... Yo, yo, yo. What up? What up? What up, friends? You know who it is. It's Omar, the professor, for a second with...
National Championship Preview: Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
00:00:59
Speaker
the professors you marks just means weekly that is weekly but i'm so glad that you join me weekly so we can share it this time together on such a monumental day so many things happening within the united states and i've only got 30 minutes to cover it for you because we got a national championship football game happening tonight between the Ohio State Buckeyes versus the Notre Dame fighting. Irish is going to be a doozy.
00:01:39
Speaker
of a matchup. And I will get to my prediction at the end of the show. Again, this will be abbreviated 30 minute show today. So we can get you right to that game. So let's go ahead and get started. So we don't waste no more time. Let's kick this bad boy off.
Trump's Inauguration and Political Climate
00:01:58
Speaker
All right, first of all, man, man, oh, man, what a day we had today, right? Especially if you if you're in the United States.
00:02:07
Speaker
Right? Really big day. First of all, you got the presidential inauguration. Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States of America. It was a cold, cold inauguration. So they had to move it indoors. um So, you know, hey, it was a little different than traditionally done. That's only been done one other the time in presidential history. So pretty crazy. Last time was 1985 with Ronald Reagan, just to let everybody know that was the last time.
00:02:36
Speaker
But they did have the inauguration after the peaceful transfer of power You had people that were there and we'll go through a bunch of other things that happened after it But ah there were no issues there were no January 6th violence or anything like that It was a peaceful scene even having all of the former presidents but first before we get into that and the rest of the stories that we dealt with today it is a Martin Luther King
Reflections on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
00:03:03
Speaker
Jr. Day and I personally would love to wish all of you a happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day as we celebrate the influence that he had on these great United States of America whether you think they're great or not that can be debated there's a lot of division but we're still a great country I believe we may not be at our full potential obviously but we can get there
00:03:28
Speaker
I truly, truly do believe and we'll talk about that a little bit in a second as well. um But yeah, happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I love a lot of his quotes. So I wanted to go ahead and and give you some of my quotes throughout the episode that I like of his. ah So let me ah first give a shout out to the artist here. This is made by Cynthia Post, the marketing and branding expert at art logo. And I wanted to shout her out because I found this picture online. I was like, Oh, that's pretty dope.
00:03:54
Speaker
So I was like, let me go ahead and put her art up there and shout her out. I'm not going to go use these quotes. I picked other quotes, but she actually had a whole list on her art logo page to have all the quotes as well. So shout out to her and thank you for making that easy for me to, uh, you know, go through and pick my favorites from. So one is, and this is going to apply to the a whole episode today, but no one is truly free y'all until we are all free.
00:04:21
Speaker
And that holds pertinent in a day like today when we have our presidential inauguration and we switch from one party to another party um with one gaining complete power in all the chambers and ah branches of the government. ah But also, it extends further. It extends to many other things that are happening in our world.
Middle East Ceasefire Developments
00:04:44
Speaker
We'll talk in a little bit about the Israel Amash ceasefire and the Gaza Strip now being let for their their citizens and people to come back into. We'll talk about all of that today but that is one of a pertinent hope that I think we should always remember because when we're reminded that no one is free until we are all free we have that we then remember that we all have equal rights and that we were all brought here to better ourselves and better our community and help each other, brother to brother, sister to sister, so on and so forth. Another one I really like that I want to start out with is that darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Eight cannot drive out eight. Only love can do that. So again, a really amazing quote that I love
00:05:42
Speaker
from Dr.
U.S. Political Division and Governance Critique
00:05:43
Speaker
King and he has a good synopsis of the way that he feels ah about how life is, the way that he feels about how a future could be, especially in his famous, as we all know, I Have a Dream speech.
00:06:05
Speaker
So we all know that that was you know had a lot to do and told a lot about what he wanted to accomplish What he wanted to see accomplished in the future. And so, you know, obviously we're not there yet ah Clearly we've got a lot of division in the country again going from one party to the other having a lot of division which Donald Trump is the President Donald Trump. He has talked about people in and there probably the most talked about person in the world, at least right now, and written a lot of times as well. And for good reason, because he makes the news and he he says things that are newsworthy and he is a newsworthy person, whether you like him or not. Now, what we can hope is that, you know, after
00:07:00
Speaker
the first term that he did, we saw people wanted him back. And so we we hope and wish him the best of luck. Obviously, I don't want to see the country get any worse. I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I am a centrist, a moderate. I'm not bri to any political party, as ah the wise point this long would say, all of the politicians are liars, te-shirt cheaters, and snickers, baby. Boom! And they all are. They're all out for themselves. They're all out to make their own money. They're all out to get their own laws in place, lobby their own things for their interest and for their community and interest. So it's not like we don't know these things. We, everyone, know that.
00:07:49
Speaker
But they are a necessary evil because without politicians, then there is no rule of law. There are no things that actually get done within government. And it is an advanced society that we're at in this time. We've got to be able to have a government that can rule those sorts of things that or govern excuse me those sorts of things like industries and taxes and finances and whether you think you should or should not pay taxes. That's a whole nother rabbit hole we could go down to that we will not go in into today. But maybe that gives me a topic for a future mind of the professor.
Tribute to Bob Euchre
00:08:27
Speaker
But anyways, yeah, I'll shoot out some of Dr. King's of my favorite quotes of his as we go through ah the episode. But let's continue on. I also want to say rest in power to Mr. Baseball Bob Euchre.
00:08:44
Speaker
You might remember him as the funny, hilarious announcer in Major League, the one of the best baseball movies of all time, and actually a series of movies, the first one being the best, obviously, as most most are want to do, usually the sequels, unless it's Godfather. ah You're not really talking about a sequel being better than the first movie. We all know that. Or, dad, on Mr. Belvedere.
Wildfires, Weather Events, and Climate Impact
00:09:08
Speaker
If you never saw Mr. Belvedere, I used to watch that as a kid with my mom. Shout out to my mom.
00:09:12
Speaker
I know you're probably watching anyways, but yes, he was a dad on Mr. Belvedere. He also called Brewers games on MLB extra innings. So rest in power. Mr. Baseball, Bob Euchre, a.k.a. Terry Doyle.
00:09:32
Speaker
Also far in the wildfires prayers up the death toll has raised to 27 as of this morning Also as of this morning to update you the palisades fires um are at the palisades fires are at a 50 50 containment while the eaten fires are at a 75 containment So last week when we talked about this, they were at 15 and 25 respectively. So you can see that they've contained now 35% of the palisades more and 50% of the eaten more. So making
00:10:15
Speaker
Obviously not the progress we would all hope for, as we would have hoped this would have been quelled already. But with high winds last week and the risk of extreme winds this week due to the polar vortex that is happening, and if you're in the DMV like I am, you know all about that because it's about 15 damn degrees outside. Ridiculous. Supposed to be like five tomorrow. This is why I don't go anywhere super cold. See, this is Puerto Rican. We tropical. You know what I mean?
00:10:41
Speaker
I can only do so so much cold. I can do cold. not that It's freezing. And and and and so again, prayers up to those people. Hopefully they can get this. First of all, hopefully the winds don't happen as they expect, but also hopefully they can get this contained and over as soon as possible.
00:11:00
Speaker
Other things that freezing temperatures caused was, again, the moving of the inauguration inside. As I mentioned earlier last time, this was why Ronald Reagan. in And this was in 1985. So Ronald Reagan in 1985. That's the last time that they the weather caused an indoor move.
00:11:20
Speaker
And so they again, everything went fine. There were no January 6 shenanigans.
Trump's Political and Economic Moves
00:11:26
Speaker
There was no violence. Everything was peaceful after the peaceful transfer of power. Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president and his second time as is what I was trying to say.
00:11:40
Speaker
um and the only other president to serve non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland did it in 1885 to 1889 and 1893 to 1897.
00:11:56
Speaker
Former Ohio Senator Jay D. Vance will become ah ah the third youngest vice president at 40 years old. So again, they're all All four other living presidents were in attendance. Bill Clinton, George W., Barack Obama, and Joe Biden were all in attendance. and all And all were there in a show of solidarity of a brotherhood which only has a few members at a time, even if they may not support him. And that's very akin to four years ago.
00:12:36
Speaker
I know a lot of people on the right like to bash the Democrats for not showing up the things and I didn't Kamala Harris didn't go to the Catholic prayer thing and all this other stuff. But we quickly forget that Donald Trump did not show up to Joe Biden inauguration in 2020. All of them showed up for him today. No whining. No, no, no complaining. No name calling.
00:13:07
Speaker
They were professionals and that is how it should be. So hopefully the next election or hopefully the next time there is such a division within election that was caused when Donald Trump showed up on the scene not in total part to him obviously but it did start happening more and more at that at that at that time that he started coming in and his followers felt more emboldened to say things that weren't really being said before that whether you agree with them or not that's another thing that's not for this show I am just
00:13:42
Speaker
reporting the news. Now, the other news of the day is that he was going to sign up to 200 executive actions on day one. Wow. They're saying it's the most comprehensive um executive actions on the first day of a presidency in history, which obviously makes sense. Right. So but um but
00:14:09
Speaker
Some of those when you say 248 of them had to do with sitting or Senator races and other House races and things like that, signing people up for that. The other 12 had to do with his actual committee appointees that are being vetted right now through the Senate. And then a bunch of others that you probably don't need to hear of or aren't as important. But what I do want to uh give you is and this is going to show you how broad and crazy um not crazy um i mean crazy but i just mean crazy in size of how the list is of executive actions that were to be signed today i am going to give you the 30 most important and this is according to fox news i had a fox news article and i took it to ai so i'm being completely transparent with everybody
00:15:02
Speaker
I popped the Fox News article in chat GBT told it to give me the executive actions from that article that were to be signed today. It popped me out the 30 that were inside the article and also gave me some quotes. I'm not gonna say any of the quotes, but I am gonna read through all 30 executive actions And one time me, let's go. Board of Security, end catch and release. Re-institute, remain in Mexico. Declare a national border emergency. Direct the U.S. military to work with Department of Homeland Security to secure the southern border. Establish a national priority to eliminate all criminal cartels on U.S. soil. Suspend the an entry of illegal aliens across the southwest border and swiftly return apprehended individuals to their country or region. Direct the cost of construction of new sections of border wall.
00:15:47
Speaker
designate criminal cartels and foreign terrorist organizations, create task force for cartel eradication with FBI, ICE, CEA, and other agencies. On energy policies, number 10, pause all offshore wind leases, terminate the electric vehicle mandate, abolish the Green New Deal, withdraw from the Paris climate accord, fully unleash Alaskan energy, including fracking, pipelines, ports, liquid ne liquid natural gas policy,
00:16:16
Speaker
research Reverse President Biden's energy policies constraining U.S. energy supply on federal bureaucracy. bureauracy you your acracy excuse me 16. Strengthen presidential control over senior government officials. Reform the federal bureaucracy bureaucracy to allow for the removal of workers failing to comply with executive directors. Implement a new merit-based hiring review system.
00:16:44
Speaker
return federal workers to in-person work, establish a Department of Government efficiency, Doge hiring freeze. By the way, Vivek Ramaswamy stepped down from Doge today as he's trying to run for elected office. So it is fully under the control of Elon Musk. You heard it here first.

Gain control over foreign aid and NGO funding. Reduce costs for American families by removing federal actions that increase living expenses.
00:17:40
Speaker
on censorship and free speech, end weaponization of the federal government, and restore freedom of speech and end federal censorship. And finally, number 30 on TikTok and technology, sign an executive order to extend the period of TikTok prohibitions to allow for national security negotiations, but to uplift the ban, which was done this weekend, which we're about to talk out now talk about now, the TikTok ban. Why? Because I'm awesome at things like segues. And I'm also, I'm going to take a bow.
00:18:16
Speaker
I don't know who's watching, That was awesome. i had That had to be great. I just gave you the top 30 executive actions in what had to be less than two minutes. Someone give me a round of applause. I need a like, I need a heart, I need something or um I'm not even going to go on until I get at least one like, I can't do it. Because that was just too good to not be appreciated. Someone help me out. Someone help me out.
00:18:47
Speaker
I also needed a drink of water. Someone help me out now. Damn, not one of y'all gonna give me a like? I see a bunch of y'all on here. Can't one of y'all hit that like button? Eek, freak. Don't hurt you. Oh, there we go. Finally, thank you for the help, whoever you are, kind soul. If you did negotiate for more money after getting a job, don't feel bad because you're just like the president of the United States. They receive an annual salary. Donald Trump will earn $400,000. But I thought this was ah pretty crazy. If you go back,
00:19:20
Speaker
into the history of presidential salaries, George Washington, when he took office in 1789, received a $25,000 salary. Now, what would that be adjusted for today's money?
00:19:38
Speaker
eight $896,000. So almost $900,000 George Washington would have made in the equivalent of that money back then, which again was $25,000. After him, every president from 1873 to 2000 was making an adjusted $1.3 million to $2.6 million. dollars So if you were any of the presidents from before Grover, a couple uh uh before Grover Cleveland that we talked about earlier all the way up to George Dubb uh knock down the towers um then you would have made between 1.3 and 2.6 million dollars money money money money money whoa that's some that's a moo lot uh do I agree and think they should get paid that much not at all but
00:20:30
Speaker
uh you know they do they do have a hard job i don't think they should be millionaires but they they do have a hard time so we will uh we'll leave it at that anyways all right let's keep it moving on uh one more story about uh Trump before we move on to world news he actually hosted the crypto ball and if you did not see he also entered the office of presidency as the first meme coin billionaire what's a meme coin it's like uh like dogecoin or um when they had the game stop coin things like that
00:21:10
Speaker
the Shibu Ibu. There are coins that are attached to memes, but a lot of them are not attached to blockchain features that will keep them secure enough for you to want to invest your money. Most of these times, these are not investments. These are just things that you buy because you're interested in them and you're not planning on getting a return. Well,
00:21:32
Speaker
If Trump ain't nothing else, he's a businessman. He always has been since the day he was born and came out his mama's womb. He's been a businessman. He is the president now, but he's always been a businessman. And last night before he went into the presidency, he launched the Trump meme coin, which, or not last night, sorry, Saturday, which immediately reached $5.5 billion. dollar Let me repeat that.
00:21:59
Speaker
He launched a meme coin and overnight on on Saturday to Sunday, it went up to $5.5 billion. That means that $5.5 billion dollars of this meme coin were purchased. That and more than, I mean, more than 10 times that.
00:22:23
Speaker
was what it turned out to be when it was finally all said and done up to $55 million dollars following that. Melania Trump line front launches her own meme coin called Melania and that quickly gained $5 billion in market share which then caused Trump's memes coin to fall 35% which to me is hilarious but like still obviously Trump's was worth more. um Now Both projects are backed by the Solana blockchain. So as I mentioned earlier, most meme coins are not real, but this is flo or how ah powered by the Solana blockchain. So there could be some security features that would allow you to at least feel secure and possibly
00:23:10
Speaker
Making some sort of return but just always be a way aware not just this um I don't think anyone should invest in any meme coins if you do Bitcoin or aetherium which are actually backed by security features within the blockchain then maybe so but Now other than that you're just being you're just doing something really whiskey risky Excuse me, and it's probably not worth that. You're probably just making some people a lot of money like the hawk to a girl ah who Launched a meme coin A bunch of dumb, stupid idiots bought it. And then she rug pulled them, pulled the meme coin, and all day money was gone. And now they took her to court. And so we're going to talk about this on the next banter of Brawls and Bravado. So look out for that in the next couple of weeks from coming up with that. We're going to talk about the hot, chillin' girl, rug pullin' some fools with her meme coin. All right. Well, you know, that brings me to another Martin Luther King quote,
00:24:09
Speaker
We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Moving on to world news. In world news, three Israeli women we're who were held hostage by Hamas were released yesterday after 470 days in income in captivity. This is with the long-awaited ceasefire that and that ends over a a year of conflict and war. and Let's be honest, this goes back decades and centuries and lifetimes and millennials and and so since hundreds and hundreds of years ago. So you can also go down a huge rabbit hole on that. if You want to go on the background on this conflict. You can go all the way back to the European age and all that. It's pretty wild anyways.
00:25:01
Speaker
We don't have enough time. 90 Palestinians were in who were imprisoned in Israel were released as well. ah So this is a temporary truce hoping for a potential path to ending the war in 15 months. ah There will be a 42-day pause in fighting. Israeli forces have already started a withdrawal in some of the ah more ah dense areas that more people lived in which people started to go back to but as you can see on the pictures there that I'm showing a lot of people return to destruction and to poverty and to nothing houses and everything demolished and it's sad for people that are innocent and had nothing to do with this that a terrorist organization could cause them to lose their their homes and that a ally of ours that is fighting that terrorist
00:25:51
Speaker
uh still could also be uh implicit in that uh whether they're allies or not um but too many times did stories come out about israel uh bombing civilian areas and too many times it happened before this time and a lot of times it was just shrugged off um and that just is not uh not a good look on it obviously optic on that right so Anyways, we'll see if this actually happens. As we know, I just talked about, this has gone for decades, up in hundreds of years, up on millennials, up on lifetimes, and it always there's always a ceasefire, always peace for a time, and then it starts up again. Obviously, we pray that that does not happen, because obviously that's horrible to see what what what the outcomes of war are, but ah usually that's what happens.
00:26:42
Speaker
uh uh another martin luther king quote that brings me to if you can't fly then run if you can't run then walk if you can't walk then crawl but whatever you do keep moving forward and we will keep moving forward on this show the world economic for forum has begun in Davos yes this is the billionaire conference where they talk about all the crazy new inventions and things that they want to get done in the world some people call it the illuminati and all that Collaboration in the intelligent age is going to be the focus on technologies and strengthening social and economic resilience. Which brings me to another Martin Luther King quote, our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
00:27:30
Speaker
You can't stay silent when things matter to you. You must speak up against them, whether it is war, whether it is oppression, whether it is injustice, whether it is inequality. We must stand up to these things. Another quote, an injustice anywhere is... or Yeah, injustice anywhere is not... Damn, I don't have it in front of me and I can't create a right. It's justice everywhere. So... You know, it's it's it's sad some of the things that we have in this world with the wars and everything, but that's gone on for, you know, again, since the beginning of time. And that's a lot of times the ways that things are are solved, unfortunately. Moving on ah to
TikTok Controversy and Security Concerns
00:28:13
Speaker
entertainment. Obviously, this weekend, TikTok went out. Y'all heard it. It went dark. ah You were not able to act, you were able to access it, but you weren't able to download it from the App Store.
00:28:24
Speaker
President-elect Donald Trump is obviously, or president now, after today, excuse me, is, I've been saying that for so long, is actually gonna put a 90-day hold on this. We're looking to get American buyers. Kevin O'Leary wasn't talked last week with Donald Trump. Elon Musk is now on the forefront talking to Trump about possibly buying TikTok. So look out for that. By the way, Instagram and introduced today the edits feature, which is going to be Akin to what tick-tock cat-cut was so if you like club ready the combat G and use that for your videos If tick-tock does go away Instagram is fully releasing this week edits, which is gonna be there Cat cut that tick-tock that so we will see what happens there um um Brings me to the out. Yeah. Well our sports Section of the show, excuse me and yeah
00:29:20
Speaker
our sports section.
NFL Conference Championships Preview and Predictions
00:29:22
Speaker
Let me get that right because I had that way off there for a second to our sports section of the show before we get you out of here to the big game. The MLB Hall of Fame will be announced tomorrow. Ichiro Suzuki is looking to become the first ever position player to get 100% of the writers' votes. It's only been done one other time by one other player, reliever Variano Rivera from the New York Yankees. Don't ask me how. It was never given to Willie Mays.
00:29:50
Speaker
or even Babe Ruth or King Riffey Jr. or so many other players who deserved it. um I mean, i Roberto Clemente, I mean, come on now. like it It blows my mind. I'm going to talk about this from the mind of the professor next one, which I'll be having either later this week or next week as well. Come on, man.
00:30:13
Speaker
If Ichiro doesn't get it, it's a sad that a lot of people, Derek Jeter, I don't even i hate the Yankees with a passion. I very much dislike Derek Jeter. But the fact that he didn't get unanimous either, that's pretty that's pretty wild for me. that doesn't so We'll see what happens. That will be announced tomorrow. Also, so next week we have our conference championships after a weekend of great, great football.
00:30:38
Speaker
make sure you check out my predictions and the rest of the bottom line sports crew tomorrow night at 8 p.m eastern if you are subscribed at ball and buds b a l l a n d b u d s or if you've joined the bottom line sports facebook group you will be able to catch us here uh giving our predictions tomorrow night that being said this is what it looks like so i just wanted to bring that up and show y'all what it looked like. Kansas City will be going to play the Bills. They've obviously played a few times now over the past four or five years in the playoffs. That's going to be a shootout, a barn burner, as they say. On the NFC side, you got the good old divisional rivalry. The Philadelphia Eagles will be hosting where I'm at. Shout out to the DMV. They're going crazy over their commanders.
00:31:31
Speaker
And with the quarterback they have, shout out to my NFL inch insider at Ball and Buds, Shane feature, who has, you know, just just really hype about Jayden Daniels, the whole city is, he's telling me how much they think of him um and how much better they they they think of him of all the other.
00:31:48
Speaker
young quarterbacks in the league, including Caleb Williams from the same draft class, including CJ Stroud from the draft class before. These are things coming out of commander's headquarters. So we'll look to see what happens here, but it was a great, great weekend. um A lot of great players. Shout out to who should be the MVP of the league, Saquon Barkley. I've been shouting this since the beginning of the season. Blow joined me later in the season. He's now all aboard.
00:32:16
Speaker
Saquon Barkley, 205 yards, two touchdown runs of 78 and 62. This is after 2,000 yards during the regular season. Give them the MVP. Don't give it to Lamar Jackson, who's already had it twice. Don't give it to Josh Allen, who had lesser stats than Lamar. Give it to Saquon, who has pretty much carried this team because they have had a down year passing offensively. Give it to that man.
00:32:39
Speaker
Shout-out say Quan. I'm capable for you brother. Let's go tonight. Let's get you to it Yes tonight coming on right now the national championship game We have the number seven ranked Ohio ah number seven ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish versus the number eight. Oh the Ohio State Buckeyes. I don't want to get any messages usually whenever I should i forget the
00:33:09
Speaker
in Ohio State, your Ohio State fans will start to hit you up. And they are very upset if you do not give them the Ohio State. So I make sure to, you know, acquiesce to their their their their wants and their needs. um So the Ohio State versus the Notre Dame fighting Irish. All right.
00:33:27
Speaker
So a couple storylines here, Ryan Day almost fired 30 days ago because he couldn't beat Michigan and barely made it into the playoffs, barely. If it was real seating, he would have made it earlier. But the Michigan loss was a bad loss. So they wanted to fire him, but now he's in the national championship. On the other side, Marcus Freeman making history as the first black or Asian head coach of a division one school to take his football team to the national champion.
00:33:58
Speaker
And on Martin Luther King Day, that is very, very um pertinent. That's very important. So, ah you know, a shout out to him.
00:34:09
Speaker
Shout out to Notre Dame, came back from an ugly loss to Northern Illinois ah to to win 13 in a row. But they are going up against the buzzsaw that is the Ohio State University. At the beginning of the season, I predicted that they would win the national championship, just like I did last year for the Michigan Wolverines. And I am not going to go away with from what should be a second consecutive yearly correct big boy. That's why they call me the sports professor.
00:34:38
Speaker
might as well give might as well give me that biff sports almanac. Let me call my brother club or D cuz apparently he out there calling from pick sixes for touchdowns ah ah before they happen. oh Man, that was good. That was good. All right. Anyways, let me give you my prediction so I can get you out of here. I know it's about to start right now. Probably already starting. You got a little bit of national anthem. I don't know. My phone is over there.
00:35:00
Speaker
um But anyways, all right. So tonight, again, going to be a really good game, but notre dam Notre Dame, Ohio State is favored in this game. It was nine and a half last time I checked. um ah Maybe it could have moved up or down with the bedding. So it could be eight and a half.
00:35:16
Speaker
something like that, ah you know, late, late entries, ah late money on the underdogs will usually do that. So I am going to give my score of 31 to 21 Ohio State over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Ohio State Buckeyes will be your national champion.
00:35:39

00:36:14
Speaker
Um, the first is the ultimate measure of a man or woman, that's fine, is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. And with so much challenging controversy in the world today, and even here in the United States, where do you stay in those moments of comfort and convenience?
00:36:43
Speaker
Will you do the right thing? Will you stand for injustice? Will you in will you stand for inequality? Will you stand for your fellow brother and sister? I will for you and I hope you will for me.
