1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: This is a moment where I think the American people

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: know that the president and our armed forces are doing

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: what needs to be done. What I'm concerned about, though,

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: is some aspects of what's being talked about. I mean,

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: we've got to insist that they both surrender and abandon

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: any ambition for nuclear weapons and programs. They've got to

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: unconditionally open the straight of hormones, and they've got to

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: commit to ending the sowing of violence across the region

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: through their proxies. My hope, my prayer is as the

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Vice President and our negotiation team goes to Pakistan, is

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: that they draw that line and say that's what we

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: need you to agree to. We hold them to that

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: deal in the months and years ahead. We're prepared to

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: strike and strike hard if they break the deal.

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: So you've got former Vice President Mike Pence giving Trump

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: all the credit in the world for Operation Epic Fury.

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: That's one of the most generous things he said about

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: his former running mate since well twenty twenty one. And

19
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: you've got Mike Pence praising the mission. Is that a

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: message to the ten percent of Americans who disapprove of

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: what the rest of the country is thinking about I

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: think we should frame this in the manner that you've

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: got former Vice President Mike Pence saying that this is

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a brilliant campaign, while the current vice president is the

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: one who is going to execute the peace talks. Jadie

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: Vance doing peace talks is going to be the ultimate

27
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: test of whether anti war populism can actually govern or

28
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: whether it's just campaign branding. Because this is a guy,

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: Jadie Vance, who built his reputation as the one being

30
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: skep about the foreign entanglements. So putting him at the

31
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: center of Iran negotiations is it's either going to be

32
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: America first realists who ended a war without another invasion,

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: or it's going to be a complete fail and he

34
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: jd Vance is risking becoming the face of a conflict

35
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: that failed.

36
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: It's an outstanding way to frame it because this is

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: a very high risk, high reward situation for JD. Vans.

38
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: Right now, He's not just negotiating with Iran, He's negotiating

39
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: with the contradictions inside of the Trump.

40
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: World foreign policy.

41
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: You know, there's a fraction of Republicans who are against

42
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: this and a fraction who are completely for it. JD

43
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: Vance has been less audible about being pro operation epic fury.

44
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: So to send him in there, he's becoming very symbolic.

45
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: If he pulls it off, he is going to be

46
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: the administration's actual foreign policy branch old. If he botches it, Yeah,

47
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: it may mean that there's a difference between podcast talk

48
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: and actual execution.

49
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens.

50
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: And I'm going to say something here and look at Casey.

51
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: We're always intellectually honest on this show. Look, we're not

52
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: in the bag for Donald Trump. We praise him what

53
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: he does well, and we give him the business when

54
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: we think he's gotten off track here. But I actually

55
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: agree with Mike Pence on what he said. You know,

56
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: when it comes to these negotiations with the RAM stay firm,

57
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: make a deal that puts America first, and then bomb

58
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: the hell out of them if they break that deal. Look,

59
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: I don't agree with Mike Pence on much. I don't

60
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: care for Mike Pence and most of his policy positions

61
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: and the things that he has done. But it would

62
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: be intellectually dishonest for me to take my history of

63
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: disagreement with Mike Prince and just you know, toss aside

64
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: the words he said, word that are actually valid and

65
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: true and are exactly the strategy that we need to

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: be implementing during these negotiations.

67
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: Here is more from the former Vice president.

68
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, there was a lot of talk about five

69
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago about.

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: America starting a war.

71
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: This war started forty seven years ago, and Iran has

72
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: been waging war on America on our most cherished ally, Israel,

73
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: during those five decades. And I give President Trump all

74
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: the credit in the world for pulling the trigger last

75
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: year with Operation Midnight Hammer, going directly at their nuclear facilities,

76
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: and then making the decision to unleash our armed forces

77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: finally directly against the Mullahs in Tayroun who've been claiming

78
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: American lives Israeli lives, using proxies across the region to

79
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: wage war. Now we've taken the fight to them. And

80
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I also, I have to tell you I couldn't be

81
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: more proud of the armed forces of the United States

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: and cooperation with Israel. We have literally decimated and the

83
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: military capabilities of around It's been a brilliant campaign Operation

84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: Epic Fury. Every American should be proud, and I think

85
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: it's set the conditions now where the President has been

86
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: willing to initiate a ceasefire to look for negotiations to

87
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: bring a diplomatic in. But my perspective, Brian is at

88
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we've got to finish the job.

89
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: So he said we got to finish the job.

90
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: And he's right about that, because a ceasefire is not peace,

91
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: a pause is not a resolution. We've got this two

92
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: week window and that's what these talks are all about,

93
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: turning the temporary ceasefire into a longer term agreement.

94
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: Casey, what are you doing to me? Come on, I'm

95
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: going to have to agree with Mike Pence twice in

96
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: five minutes what is going on here? But he's right.

97
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: Give credit to Mike Pence. Look, we know that he

98
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: and Trump have had their problems, very publicly disagreeing with

99
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: each other over the last four or five years. Yet

100
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 3: he came out and I think spoke what he feels

101
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: is true, gave Trump an incredible amount of credit because

102
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: he believes in this military action in Iran. Look, the

103
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: best thing for Mike Pence's career would have been to

104
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: bash Trump, would have been to say that this is reckless,

105
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: would have been to come out against the Iran war,

106
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: because I guarantee you every liberal, left wing media organization

107
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: would have run right up to Mike Pence's butt cheeks

108
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: and going come on our show, we want you. He

109
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: would have gotten every camera and microphone in the world

110
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: put in his face if he had come out against

111
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. But he didn't. And I really believe in

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: what Mike Pence said there. Gosh, I'm doing it again,

113
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: you know. I think Mike Pence believes this, I think,

114
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: and for him to publicly give credit to Donald Trump

115
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 3: and to publicly support this war is what he believes

116
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: in his heart, and he came out and spoke the truth.

117
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: I think.

118
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: So you've got President Trump who says oil tankers will

119
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: immediately begin flowing through the Strait of Horror moves with

120
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: or with the help of Iran. The negotiations are taking

121
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: place in Pakistan, that is because Pakistan has maintained communication

122
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: with both the US and Iran. You've got JD Vance there.

123
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: And JD Vance's background is primarily politics, messaging, and foreign

124
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: policy positioning, but not classic diplomacy. I mean, he's also

125
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: known for skepticism of US intervention abroad, and he has

126
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: argued for negotiated settlements in Ukraine as well. His public

127
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: commentary has been on restraint with America first, So he

128
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: could become a chief US negotiator or he could not.

129
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be a lot of pressure on him.

130
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: It'll be really interesting to see what happens, because keep

131
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: in mind, Vance isn't doing this by himself. Kushner and

132
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: Witkoff are. They're Trump's big time negotiators. They've been negotiating.

133
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if it fails, the blame is not going

134
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: to go on Kushner.

135
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: Oh no, They'll totally hang it on JD. Vance's head. Absolutely. Look,

136
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: if this negotiation goes south, a JD is going to

137
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: be the bad guy and they're going to throw him

138
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: under the bucks. Absolutely, But I think you know, JD's

139
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: not going to be doing the heavy lifting of the negotiation.

140
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: Witkoff and Kushner are going to do that. They've been

141
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: doing all of Donald Trump's global policy negotiations since he

142
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: got back into office last year. I'm not actually sure

143
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 3: what JD's role in this entire process is because he's.

144
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 4: Kind of all the credit or all the blame.

145
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, well he's kind of third wheel in it

146
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: here because Kushner and Witkoff have been this dynamic duo

147
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: that have been making all these negotiations and Saudi Arabia

148
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: and Iran and with Gaza and everything else, and now

149
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're throwing JD into the mix.

150
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure what his role is and we

151
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: might not find out until when it's all over.

152
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: So he could be walking away from this as a

153
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: season negotiator, or he's auditioning for statesman under LiveWire, live fire.

154
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,359
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like a make or break situation

155
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: for him, with Marco Rubio right in his rear view mirror.

156
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, I know that some people get crazy

157
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: when we sit here and look ahead to the twenty

158
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: twenty eight presidential election, but that's politics, and that's what

159
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: we do, and that's the next big one coming. And

160
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: who is going to lead the Republican Party in the

161
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight election. This is this is one of

162
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: those rare times you don't get a whole lot of

163
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: instances where you won't have an incumbent president running for

164
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: re election. So the Democrats are going to have their

165
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: own fight to find out who's going to run for

166
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 3: them in twenty eight, and the Republican conversation has been

167
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: going on since Donald Trump got elected in twenty twenty four.

168
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 3: Vance was assumed to be, you know the air in

169
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: you know air apparent to the guy in waiting. But

170
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: the last three or four months, Rubio has come on strong.

171
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: We had that seapack straw pole that showed that Rubio's

172
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: approval rating has gone through the roof and is now

173
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 3: just under vances. So this is like we talked about

174
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: a real, high risk, high reward opportunity for jdvans to

175
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: be part of these negotiations.

176
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: JD Vance reportedly emphasize the hard line, and that is

177
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: that the US will negotiate but will not tolerate being

178
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: played quote played by Iran. He described the ceasefire as

179
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: fragile and that already strained by disagreements over scope.

180
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: So we'll see how he walks away.

181
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: Now, Mark Halprint, this is a policy wonk guy, and

182
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: he is saying JD. Vance won't face Marco Rubio in

183
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: twenty eight and what happens on the Democrat side.

184
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 4: Listen to this.

185
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 5: Vance is not a short thing anymore. But I don't

186
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 5: believe there's any circumstances under with trivia, with challenge in

187
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 5: I think Vance may decide not to run because he's

188
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: having a new baby and he's young enough to avoid

189
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 5: this now if he doesn't feel it's his time, And

190
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: if that happens, I think Rubio would be the consents

191
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: his choice, not just of the president, which matters a

192
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: ton obviously Republican politics, but a lot of the donors,

193
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 5: a lot of the members of Congress, a lot of

194
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 5: the consultant class elected officials. So I think those two

195
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: are remain head and shoulders above all the rest. I

196
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 5: think the most significant thing, not really as a derivative

197
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: of the war but alone, but of longer running is

198
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: there's too many people in the party now who including

199
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: the President some days i'm told, who don't feel Vance

200
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 5: should just have it handed to him, that it should

201
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 5: be contested. And if the President doesn't endorse Vance, this

202
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: is binary. If he endorses Vance, I think Vance will

203
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: be the nominee relatively easily. If he doesn't endorse him,

204
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 5: not endorsing his vice president. That's what Ronald Reagan did,

205
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 5: That's what Bill Clinton did, That's what Barack Obama did.

206
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: It's not the norm. But if he chooses not to,

207
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 5: it will be a big deal that if he chooses

208
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: not to, and I think the blood will be in

209
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: the water and lots of people run against him, But

210
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 5: I don't think it'll be Rubio. I think Rubio is

211
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: the nominee. Advance takes a pass, but otherwise I think

212
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: he's side.

213
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: So the twenty twenty eight race is being written right

214
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: now in a hotel room in Islamabad.

215
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens on there.

216
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you're not following Mark Halpern

217
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: on Twitter, Mark Halprin has really become one of the best,

218
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: like straight down the middle journalists and pundits out there

219
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: right now. He is not in the bag for the Democrats,

220
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 3: He's not in the bag for the Republicans. He will

221
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: criticize both, he will praise both. So he's a long

222
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: time He was at ABC way back in the day.

223
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: He was at MSNBC and ended up running into some

224
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: problems there when on an MSNBC program live he called

225
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: Barack Obama a male member, I'll just say, and they

226
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: suspended him and it kind of derailed his career. But

227
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: he's got his own app called The Two way app.

228
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: He does a lot of podcasts. He's now part of

229
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: Megan Kelly's podcast network and has a daily podcast with that.

230
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: Mark Helper and a really astute, smart political analyst who

231
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: is not a partisan hack for e the Democrats or Republicans,

232
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: but is very tied in and very well sourced inside

233
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: of Washington.

234
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: I think the thing you have to pay attention to

235
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: with this, that is, if Vance walks out of Pakistan

236
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: with a framework for permanent straight access, no nuclear Iran,

237
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: He's the presumptive nominee by default.

238
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: I think he's the presumptive nominee by default, no matter what.

239
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: Even before this, it's Vance's nomination to lose. In twenty

240
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: twenty eight, Marco Rubio has already come out and said that, oh,

241
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: you know, we're great buddies and Advance decides to run,

242
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: I'm not going to run. I'll take him at his

243
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: word on that for now. But I'll take Marco Rubio

244
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: on his word for that. This is Vance's nomination to lose.

245
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: So I'm a little bit confused as to why he

246
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 3: would put himself into this high risk, high reward situation

247
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: by being one of the main negotiators.

248
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: Maybe he didn't.

249
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: Put himself in that position, and he was voluntold, Yeah.

250
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: You're listening to Casey and Jim. It is ninety three WIBC.

251
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: What is your problem? I got a lot of problems.

252
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: When you'll pop a problem, what's your problem? I got

253
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: ninety nine problems on ninety three double hypc.

254
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: Here we go with some group therapy and what's your problem?

255
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: Facie, you're the one with the problem today. What's your problem?

256
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: There was a new.

257
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: Report and it came out and it said that Tiger

258
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: Woods kept sending late night text messages to Rory McElroy

259
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: and that was upsetting to Rory's wife, eric A Stall.

260
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: Now you know that Tiger and Rory kind of had

261
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: this mentor mentee relationship, right of course. But I think

262
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: there comes a moment where you're crossing the line. And

263
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: if you're continually blowing somebody up in the middle of

264
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: the night with your text that's the moment, Because I

265
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: ask you, if it's not an emergency, would you be

266
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night,

267
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: would you be calling them.

268
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: In the middle of the night.

269
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: No, So why are you texting sometimes around four in

270
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: the morning, in the middle of the night. There are

271
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: some people who keep their phone on all night long

272
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: because they have say elderly parents, or maybe they have

273
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: a child that lives across the country, and if there

274
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: is a true emergency, they want to know. They want

275
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: to be alerted via text if something's up. And when

276
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: it's not an emergency, why are you texting in the

277
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: middle of the night. To me, that just says you're

278
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: just blowing them up with what's ever popping into your

279
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: brain and you're feeling like you're important, they're your thoughts,

280
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: somebody's got to know, and oh I gotta text it now.

281
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: We're all forget in the morning.

282
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: That is just look at me, It's all about me behavior.

283
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, obviously you're not alone on this, because

284
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 3: Rory McElroy's wife had an issue with Tiger sending him

285
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: the text too. I think Tiger kind of has a history.

286
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: Normally he's blowing up the chicks he's trying to get

287
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: with in the middle of the night, and in this

288
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: case it was a little bit different. It was just

289
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: another golfer.

290
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, even in elite sports, you've got this simple issue

291
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: like constant late night communication that can become like a

292
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: real live strain on your relationship and when you're married

293
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: and your wife says, why are you getting a text

294
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: from that person in the middle of the night.

295
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: You got to put a stop to that.

296
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it sounds like Rory McElroy did that. And look,

297
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: this is I mean, this is obviously getting brought up

298
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: because of the recent crash of Tiger Woods and the

299
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 3: Masters is going on right now, and so I think

300
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: that a lot of people are looking for any sort

301
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: of Masters story to kind of cut through the noise

302
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: that's going on in the golf world right now, and

303
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: this one was everywhere on social media yesterday.

304
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: It would be even worse if it were a woman

305
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: who we're texting him in the middle of the night,

306
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: even if it was a work relationship, Like that's completely inappropriate.

307
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: You can not text your coworker in the middle of

308
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 4: the night.

309
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: Don't do that, even if it's just about work, even

310
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: if it's not anything personal.

311
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and not the time to do.

312
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 3: They released some of the text and they were like,

313
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 3: he'd be up at four o'clock in the morning and

314
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: Tiger'd be like, yeah, I'm uplifting weights, what are you doing?

315
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: Just kind of that doesn't see it seems it does

316
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: seem a little odd for a four in the morning text.

317
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: I'm uplifting weights? What are you doing? If I what

318
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: are you doing? If I'm Rory McElroy, I'm like, I'm sleeping, dude,

319
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: It's four o'clock in the morning. What do you think

320
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: I'm doing?

321
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: Stop it?

322
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: It does show you though, like Tigers, I don't know

323
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: drive to be up at four in the morning lifting weights.

324
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that points is an ability to sleep

325
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 4: one or the other.

326
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: Ye.

327
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: Tiger's just a you know, an ultra competitive human being.

328
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: And obviously he's running a million miles an hour, and

329
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 3: I think that's part of what we're talking about here.

330
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: So it was today in nineteen seventy, while he was

331
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: promoting the release of an upcoming solo album, that Paul

332
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: McCartney and.

333
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: Bounced that the Beatles were breaking up. Man, it hurts right.

334
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: So as you look back on that band, you kind

335
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 4: of break the Beatles up into three different eras.

336
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it starts.

337
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: With the you have the early albums, which was the

338
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: pop rock, the fast paced poppy songs.

339
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, hold I want to hold your hand.

340
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: And then you've got the middle era, which was more

341
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: of the experimental songwriting, and then you had the late

342
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: era like sixty seven to seventy, which was more about

343
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 2: their studio time and the long hair version of the Beatles.

344
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, you and I watched that Beatles documentary, which, by

345
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: the way, if you haven't seen that, it's really good.

346
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: It's really long. Peter Jackson, who did the Lord of

347
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: the Rings movies, did this Beatles documentary, and I think

348
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: it came out about two or three years ago, and

349
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: it's it's four or five episodes and each episode is

350
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: like an hour and a half two hours long. It's long,

351
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: but it's all about them making the album Get Back,

352
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: and of course it culminates with that famous performance that they,

353
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: you know, perform on the rooftop and the studio and

354
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: all the crowd gathers below. But it was a fascinating documentary,

355
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 3: but you could see pretty clearly that this band was

356
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: at the end of their rope. They were not getting along.

357
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: You know, Yoko was very well involved in everything and

358
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: all over the studio. They had to bring in Billy

359
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: Preston to kind of light their fire and get them

360
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: move in and bring those creative juices along, which, by

361
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: the way, Billy Preston. Extraordinarily rare for anyone outside of

362
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: the Four Beatles to get a writing credit on any

363
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: of the songs, but Billy Preston was given a writing

364
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 3: credit on the song get Back, and he's in the documentary.

365
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 3: But it's a great documentary and you can, if you,

366
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: if you, if you can, you got the time, Yeah, exactly,

367
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 3: It's it's like eight or ten hours long, but it's

368
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: really good. But you can see. Oh yeah, it was

369
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: clear this is all coming to an end.

370
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: So which was your favorite era of the Beatles? If

371
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: you were going to go pick a Beatles song, which

372
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 2: era would you choose.

373
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: I'm a sucker for pop songs. I love a well constructed,

374
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: tightly written pop song and make it exactly so, you know,

375
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: Hard Day's Night and I Want to Hold your Hand.

376
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 3: I appreciate those songs for how they're constructed as songs

377
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: from a producer and a sound engineer standpoint. But in

378
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: my heart, it's the Sergeant Pepper era. That's my absolute

379
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 3: favorite Todd era.

380
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to go from Help to Rubber Soul, Revolver

381
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 2: and then Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts club Band.

382
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed like they were, like you said, they

383
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: were experimenting more than it seemed like they were still

384
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: having a lot of fun. I mean, I remember that

385
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 3: classic image of them when they performed their famous concert

386
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: at Shay Stadium and they're dressed up in those Sergeant

387
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: Pepper's costumes and they're running towards the stage and getting

388
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: ready to perform, and look their growth era.

389
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: In my opinion, they were going from fresh faced teeny

390
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: boppers to actual more musicians that were more into the

391
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: music and what they were creating.

392
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: But they were doing both the experimental type music, and

393
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: they talked about how they were heavily influenced by pet

394
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 3: sounds from the Beach Boys, and so the Beatles were

395
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: doing their experimental stuff, but they were still cranking out

396
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: really good radio friendly songs like Sergeant Pepper's and everything

397
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 3: else that came out of that era. So that's my favorite.

398
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 3: The middle Beatles era is my favorite.

399
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: Well, it was today in nineteen seventy they said we're done,

400
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: So you're listening to Casey and Jim.

401
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 4: It is ninety three WIBC.

402
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: So you got Pete Hegseth saying nope, sorry, media access

403
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: is restricted now at the Pentagon, But then a judge

404
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: has ruled that the Pentagon must restore press access for

405
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: journalists covering the Department of Defense. The judge says that

406
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: the Pentagon did not comply with a prior court order

407
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: and they tried to implement a revised policy that's still

408
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: effectively blocked meaningful press access. However, when you have, especially

409
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: the recent story about the downed airmen leak, now I'm.

410
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 4: Kind of like, yeah, Pete, you're.

411
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: Right, you can't have media walking around the Pentagon when

412
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: you've got these high risk operations happening. But the federal

413
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: court they have a different view of press access, and

414
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: now the Pentagon has to navigate both. But I'm thinking

415
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: this won't be the last ruling on this issue.

416
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what's really important to note about this ruling

417
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 3: is the judge didn't really rule on the merits of

418
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: the specific case. He basically said, hey, this other court

419
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: already told you that you got to allow the press

420
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: back in, and you didn't do that. So it was

421
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 3: really ruling on that, not whether or not press has

422
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 3: a right to be inside the Pentagon. And yeah, obviously

423
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: this is going to be put up on appeal. But

424
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 3: what happened was the Pentagon had this judge previously that said, hey,

425
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: you got to let the press back in. And then

426
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: the Pentagon just kind of shifted things around a little

427
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: bit and did things a little bit different. Said well, yeah,

428
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: we made we were trying to.

429
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 4: Ever repackage a new policy.

430
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: That's exactly what they were doing. And the judge said,

431
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: now you just kind of moved things around, you still

432
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: didn't comply with that previous court order. So you got

433
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: to comply with that previous Cord order. So again the judge,

434
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: this exact ruling yesterday, was not ruling on the merits

435
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 3: of the case. It was whether they were complying with

436
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: the previous court order. And of course this will be appealed.

437
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: So the Pentagon's revised rules included requiring journalists to be

438
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: escorted throughout most of the building, limiting where reporters could go,

439
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: and also removing or reducing the traditional press workspace access.

440
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: And the judge said that the change is still prevented

441
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: normal reporting access and undermined the intent of his earlier order.

442
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: The Pentagon can't repackage this and call it compliance. So

443
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: but you do have real security concerns because we just

444
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: saw it with that leaked information about the airmen.

445
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 4: Will the judge take any of that into consideration?

446
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: Well, leaked information has always been a massive problem in Washington,

447
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: and Donald Trump just has, you know, always come out

448
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: and said he just doesn't have the patience for it,

449
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: and so he's trying to plug all the leaks that

450
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 3: he can. Everywhere that happens. I mean, you know, Congress

451
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: got upset, remember that during the Venezuela raid that kind

452
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: of came out of nowhere and nobody knew about anything

453
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: about it, including members of Congress, And they got upset

454
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: and said that they had to be notified first. And

455
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's response to that was, Yeah, no, too bad.

456
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: You guys leaked like a sieve and making sure that

457
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 3: this information didn't get out was critical to the mission.

458
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, we're going to keep you out of it

459
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 3: and will tell you afterwards. This is just kind of

460
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: along those lines. The military, more than probably any other

461
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 3: aspect of the federal governm needs to keep leaks to

462
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: a minimum. And so it seems to be a silly

463
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: ruling by these this previous judge, and hopefully the Pentagon

464
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: will will get a better ruling when they appeal this.

465
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So You've got the Trump administration's twenty seven federal

466
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 2: budget including one point nine to eight billion dollars, and

467
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: this is for a new Via Medical Center here in Indianapolis.

468
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 2: The money would fund a new campus and it's going

469
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: to be a modern eight hundred and.

470
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: Forty thousand square foot facility.

471
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: It will have expanded inpatient and outpatient care, updated specialty

472
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: clinics and primary care services, and also major upgrades to

473
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: medical infrastructure and utilities. Now, this is Jim Banks and

474
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: Todd Young who are getting a lot of credit for this,

475
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 2: And this is what Indiana senators should be doing, getting

476
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 2: a nice VIA medical campus for our veterans here in Indianapolis.

477
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's it's it's gonna move a little bit too,

478
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: because right now the VA Hospital is located around the

479
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: other hospitals like es Kanasi and Riley Children's Hospital. This

480
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: one is going to be moving a little bit farther

481
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: east than will be on the outside of the four

482
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 3: sixty five loop.

483
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: Yep, getting in the president budget, that's what the that's

484
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: concrete money, and Indiana veterans absolutely deserve this. Now, speaking

485
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: of money, what was the story the eighty eight billion?

486
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so the federal government. So to think about this,

487
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: we know our national debt is through the roof and

488
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: it's awful, and it's pushing up against forty trillion dollars.

489
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 3: But part of the problem with this is we have

490
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: to pay interest on that debt.

491
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: That's what it was.

492
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: We have to pay interest on that debt, and just

493
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: this month.

494
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: Spending eighty eight billion a month on interest, that's it.

495
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 3: So just to service our national debt, we're spending eighty

496
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: eight billion dollars per month, which, by the way, that

497
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 3: is more than what the federal government spends on defense

498
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: and education combined. Just an absolute horrendous amount. But think

499
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: about this, So we could sit here and well, eighty

500
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: eight billion dollars. When you start talking those big numbers,

501
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 3: they kind of stop meaning anything. But you know these

502
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: this is why interest rates in this country are so high.

503
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: This is why we saw such huge inflation. It's because

504
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 3: the government was just printing money during COVID and so

505
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 3: the price of everything went out of control. This has

506
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: real world effects on how we do things. Never mind

507
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: the fact that eventually their government's going to have to

508
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 3: either raise taxes or cut spending dramatically, or both to

509
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: get their hands on the national debt. Once we get

510
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: to that point, even before we get to that point,

511
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: it has real effect on how everyday citizens run their lives,

512
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: and the two most of them being higher interest rates

513
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: that we're paying and the higher inflation that we've been seeing.

514
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned the debt now exceeding thirty nine trillion dollars,

515
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: and so now you've got these other countries. Are they

516
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: going to start buying up our treasury bonds? And assuming

517
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 2: our debt, is that the goal? With what's going on

518
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: in Iran, you.

519
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: Know, you could talk about that that that's one of them.

520
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody has a real good handle and

521
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: a real good suggestion, at least a workable suggestion on

522
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 3: how to manage the national debt, because here's the deal.

523
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 3: We spend more on social Security and Medicare than anything

524
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 3: else and it's not even close. So there's no way

525
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 3: that we're going to get a handle on our federal

526
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 3: government spending until entitlement reform happens. And what do you

527
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 3: think the likelihood, especially in our current political climate, what

528
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: do you think the likelihood of entitlement reform is? It's

529
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: absolutely nothing. No politician has the guts to touch what

530
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 3: it's always been called the third rail of American politics,

531
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 3: and that's Social Security and Medicare. But that's really that's

532
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: where all your money goes. And we could talk about

533
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: defense spending, and sure, we're spending a trillion dollars a

534
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: year on defense, and that's a ton and probably way

535
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: too much. And we spend a ton of money on

536
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: other things, but all of it pales in comparison to

537
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: what we pay on Social Security and Medicare.

538
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: Well, at some point interest payments they stop being a

539
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: line on them, right, I mean, this is a total

540
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: constraint because that takes up so much money before any

541
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: policy debate even starts.

542
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, can you imagine what we could do

543
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: if we had didn't if we could have had an

544
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: extra eighty eight billion dollars a month. I spend a lot,

545
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: You do a lot with that, Yeah, I mean, you

546
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: can do an incredible amount with that, whether it's our infrastructure,

547
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: securing our border, or you know, improved healthcare access in

548
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: this country. You can do so much. But that eighty

549
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: eight billion a month is going to nothing. We're getting

550
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: nothing out of it other than the privilege of having

551
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: a forty trillion dollar debt.

552
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: So you've got the Indiana Fever and their new building.

553
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: Did you see the video they released yesterday?

554
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: It was pretty cool. Yeah, I mean it's look nice.

555
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: It's got a big price tag as well, seventy eight

556
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: million dollar sports performance center in downtown Indianapolis. It is

557
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: set to become the largest practice performance facility in the WNBA.

558
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. All of a sudden, Kaitlin Clark gets

559
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: into the Fever and then they've got all sorts of money.

560
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: Every money been seventy eight million dollars on this beautiful

561
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: performance center. What is interesting about this is they're building

562
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: it right across the street from Gamebridge, which is rare.

563
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: Most of these teams, they'll have their stadium in one location,

564
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: and then they'll have the you know, the administrative offices

565
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: and you know, their workout area and their practice facility

566
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: somewhere else. For example, the Colts do that, and Chicago

567
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: Bears do that, and a lot of other NBA teams,

568
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls do that. So it's interesting that the Fever

569
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: will have their performance and workout center literally right across

570
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: the street from their stadium.

571
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 4: One hundred and eight.

572
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: Thousand square feet three stories tall, downtown Indianapolis, year round

573
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: hub for training, recovery, player development, team operations, two full

574
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: sized practice courts. They're going to have strength and conditioning areas,

575
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: also sports medicine, rehab centers, locker rooms. I find it

576
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: interesting that they're spending so much money on a sport

577
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: that is subsidized from the Men's National Yes Association, and.

578
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: That is Look, that's changing. It's easy to take potshots

579
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 3: and make fun of the WNBA, and the WNBA deserves

580
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: all the jokes coming their way. And yes, they've lost

581
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars from their investors since the

582
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: start of this, but with Kaitlin Clark coming into the league,

583
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: that is finally changing. I get the way the fever

584
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: probably see this is okay, we got the we got

585
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: the golden ticket. We just got Willy Wonka's golden ticket

586
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: in the form of Kaitlin Clark. Now's the time to

587
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 3: invest in that so that we can reap all the

588
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: rewards that come from that. We need championships. We need

589
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: to be able to attract players, we need to be

590
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 3: able to attract sponsors, we need to be able to

591
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: do all of those things. And now Finally, there's a

592
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: potential upside to it, not only on the court, but

593
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: in the financial situation of not only the FEVER but

594
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: the whole WNA entirely. This is their first chance to

595
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 3: sit here and say, Okay, if we invest this money,

596
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: we'll actually get a great return on that investment. They

597
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: couldn't say that five years ago, or ten years ago,

598
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: or twenty years ago.

599
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 4: If you're driving a truck, what kind of truck are

600
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 4: you driving?

601
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: Pickup truck?

602
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: Pickup truck?

603
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, what other kind of Well I'm not going to do.

604
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: I'm not driving a Semi. I mean nothing against Semis.

605
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: I don't have my CDL and I'm not a long

606
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 3: haul trucker.

607
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 4: That'd be a fun job, though. I think i'd be

608
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 4: really good.

609
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: You would be a good long haul trucker.

610
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: You'd be great behind the wheel of an atene love

611
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: it too. Maybe if I ever hang up the headphones,

612
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: That's what I'm gonna do. But there was a new

613
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: analysis done of tens of millions of DMV vehicle registrations

614
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: and they mapped out the most popular car brands in

615
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: each state.

616
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 4: And guess what's really popular in Indiana.

617
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: It's got to be a truck.

618
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 4: It is a truck.

619
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: Trucks are popular in every state in the entire country.

620
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: US market was dominated by three brands, for Toyota and Chevrolet,

621
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: Ford leading the most states overall, Toyota strongest in coastal

622
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: and suburban states, and Chevrolet dominating most of the mid West.

623
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: So you've got Ford heavy trucks. States also included Texas

624
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: and a lot of the South. But here in Indiana,

625
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 2: what was it? It was the Silverado fifteen hundred pickup truck.

626
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Here's the dirty little secret about the auto industry

627
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 3: right now is that pickup truck sales pretty much carry

628
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: the entire auto industry because they are more profitable per item,

629
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: even more so than SUVs and the if auto industry

630
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: didn't have pickup trucks, they would be in a lot

631
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: worse shape. It's almost hard to find a Sedan to

632
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: purchase these days. I don't even know.

633
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: I think you're in the car market right now.

634
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 3: I am in the shopping for a new to me

635
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: car right now and trying to figure out what I'm

636
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: going to get. But I think Ford has come out

637
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 3: and said they're done producing Sedan's. That's it. They're not

638
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: only going to be producing Sedan anymore. They're only going

639
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: to be producing SUVs, crossovers and pickup trucks, and so yeah,

640
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: pickup trucks have been the life blood, lifeblood of the finances.

641
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 4: Of the trucks.

642
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: H you know, I would look at a mid size truck.

643
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 4: I think you know we were Takoma.

644
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: Well, we were visiting your brother over the weekend.

645
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: You can have a blue Tacoma, Blue.

646
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 3: Tacoma, California. Just like the country song. Your brother's got

647
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: a full size pickup truck. Those things are big. It's

648
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 3: not easy getting around and getting into tight parking spots

649
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: and driving in big cities, and uh, they're pretty big.

650
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: I would look at like the mid size trucks, like

651
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: the Ford Maverick or the Ford Ranger. Those would be appropriate.

652
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 3: But those are on my list. But man, this is

653
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 3: a tough job. When you're in the market to get a.

654
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: New car, it's you don't know what you want.

655
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 3: Well, you've got so many choices. You got a million

656
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: different choices out there, and you're trying to figure out

657
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 3: what you want to get, and it's gonna be a

658
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: long process. I have a decision. I'm not gonna be

659
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: made feeling.

660
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 2: You've been putting it off for years, and now that

661
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: you're having car problems, it's tough.

662
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: It's time. It's time. So chick is doing something interesting.

663
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: They're offering free ice cream if families ditch their.

664
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 4: Cell phones at the table.

665

00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: back on Monday.

688
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 4: It is time to determine who won the week.

689
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 3: It's time to find out who won the week by

690
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: Birch Gonday, Sir winning you're a big winner.

691
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: Well, we've got a too early to call category which

692
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: we'll get into first, and I believe I ran Israel

693
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: in the United States are in that category based on

694
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: the conversations that are happening in Pakistan tomorrow to be determined.

695
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 4: So before we decide who won the week, let's determine

696
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 4: who lost the week.

697
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: And we have to go back to an actual week

698
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: ago today to include our first nominee, and that would

699
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 2: be pam Bondi.

700
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that one. I've always said I like Pambondy.

701
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: I was cheering for Pambondy to be successful. She just

702
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: had to way too many screw ups and became a

703
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 3: liability and had to go. And so now we're on

704
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 3: the hunt for a new head of the DOJ in

705
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 3: the Attorney General.

706
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: So also losing the week poly Market, they're facing a

707
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 2: lot of scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators about how people

708
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: are using the prediction markets to bet on real world events,

709
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: especially wars and geopolitical conflicts.

710
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you don't know what this is, groups like

711
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: Polymarket and Kush, they're not. They're not like the gambling

712
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: apps like draft Kings and FanDuel, which are heavily regulated

713
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 3: by both the federal government and the state government. They

714
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: are claiming that they're prediction markets. Similar to the way

715
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: that I can bet on commodities futures, I can bet

716
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 3: on gold futures, and I can place money on oil futures.

717
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 3: Polymarket is claiming that if I bet that there will

718
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 3: be a firm ceasefire in Iran, that that's similar to

719
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: buying gold futures. Federal regulators may or may not agree

720
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: with them on that.

721
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 2: Also, a loser of the Week Tom Kleinhelter Shriff from

722
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: Dubois County, who is being indicted and now faces criminal

723
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 2: charges tied to lying in a state police investigation.

724
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough to have any chance of winning the week

725
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 3: when you get indicted, and that's what happened.

726
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 4: Now we go to some of the winners. You had

727
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,320

Speaker 3: this weekend in spectacular.

730
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 4: I cannot put them at the top, though, so we

731
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 4: also have to consider.

732
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: Just because they're Michigan. In Michigan, they Buffalo Sabers. Yeah,

733
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: for the first time in decades, the Buffalo Sabers hockey

00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: team making the NHL playoffs. Good for them.

735
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 5: Yeap.

736
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,359

737
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: spiking and.

738
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:49,840

Speaker 2: Indianapolis winning the week for hosting the NCAA tournament.

740
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: Look, there are lots of problems in this city, but

741
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 3: we are the best city in the country hosting big events.

742
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 3: In the final four was spectacular.

743
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: But I think our clear, undisputed winner has got to

Speaker 2: be Artemis two, sending humans farther from Earth than ever before,

745
