WEBVTT - Ken Broo Saturday  -- 11/1/25

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, now I've heard of that guy. He's okay, welcome

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>on in on this glorious Saturday. It's great to have

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you with us. Big Saturday for college football. We've got

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>UC at Utah tonight in a Big twelve showdown. Winner

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.159
<v Speaker 1>of course, will jump right back into conversation for the

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>championship game, Big twelve Championship game, you see, really has

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>never left that conversation, all of that play by play

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>right here on seven hundred WLW. And of course Game

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>seven of the World Series tonight Toronto at home with

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.599
<v Speaker 1>a chance to close it out. Series tied at three

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to three as the Dodgers climb back in it last night.

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>So that's the world of sports percolating around the world

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>in and of itself for a lot of issues, not

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>the least of which is the government shutdown, which is

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>now into its second month. And at the core issue

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>right now for Republicans is just to get the government

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>up and running again. Just have the Democrats do what

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>they have done consistently over time, and that is vote

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>on a clean resolution, don't junk it up with anything,

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 1>just get government workers paid and let the country keep

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>rolling along. But of course that's not what Democrats are

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>doing this time. They seek any opportunity for disruption, and

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>their disruption right now is some form of medical plan

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>payment whatever for people who are in this country illegally,

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 1>particularly as it pertains to Medicaid, and also the continuing

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>funding that's needed for Obamacare, which expires at the end

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of the year. They'll say, okay, let's talk about Obamacare

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll get the We'll get the CR pass.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's make this part of the CR.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And then we'll get everybody up and running, the air

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>traffic controllers and you know, the federal government, the police

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot.

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's just just get that in there in the CR.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course, this is a complete departure from what Democrats

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>have done over the course of time. Nevertheless, both sides

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>are dug in snap funds. Now could be the first

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>casualty of this government cut down. This is food assistance

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>for about forty two million Americans who need food assistance.

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>There are people in this country, believe it or not,

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that are not doing as well as you and me,

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and they need help. But of course this is the

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>victim of this government shut down. And now, of course

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>we've got judges that are popping up Oh god. I

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>was wondering if these federal judges were okay. Apparently they are,

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>because now we have whack a mole going on with

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>federal judges amazingly appointed by Democrats who have stuck their

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>noses into all of this. So you've got moral issues,

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>which is getting people fed. You have political issues, which is,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're the Trump you don't want to

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>come down on the side of not feeding people. And

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you have a judicial issue. You have legal issues with

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 1>all of this.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>This is a.

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Confusing story, I know. But I know somebody that can

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>lend credence to it and clarity, and he's standing by

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the joint This is a man who has never lost

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>a trial in his life. He is widely referred to

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>as America's attorney. This is somebody who when he walks

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>into a courtroom, judges not in deference and opposing attorneys

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>look at their clients and just tell them, take the deal,

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>take the deal, Take the deal, take the deal. This

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>guy never loses. He, of course, is our good friend

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Jeremy Rosenthal. And Jeremy, how are you on this glorious Saturday.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm great. Can we like maybe simulcastis and fort Worth

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 3>and Karen County Tuxes. I've got a couple of prosecutors

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 3>who need to hear everything that you just said. Because

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm working this weekend. I'm at my desk getting we're

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 3>We're getting ready, man, We're getting ready.

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Good for good for you, good for you. I'll do it.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll put it on your answering system. Whatever you need.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>We are we done.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Did we not have some sort of Supreme Court ruling

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>that these federal judges who they must have firecrackers up

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>their rear ends it lit every so often. Weren't we

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>led to believe by the Supreme Court that all of

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>these people need to stay in their lane. And now

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>we have the same judges that are popping up again.

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>You've got the three I mentioned. I didn't mention John McConnell,

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>who was an Obama appointee in Rhode Island. Judge Adira

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Telwane from the District Court of Massachusetts, an Obama appointee.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Those are the two that are snap snap consumed.

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>And then, of course it wouldn't be a weekend without

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the US District Judge Colin Caller Coutelli completing the mythical trifecta,

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>who ruled from the bench that Trump's requiring proof of

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>citizenship to vote is illegal. Were all these judges told

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>by the Supreme Court stay in your lane? Or did

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I miss something here? Did I miss something?

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 3>The lanes are extraordinarily big. So the Supreme Court ruling

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 3>that came back earlier this year. What what what had

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 3>happened was that party judges were enjoining rules and laws

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 3>nationwide based on one claimant, one plaintiff. And what the

0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 3>courts came back and said is that the courts can

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 3>only solve problems for people who are in court, who

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 3>are in front of them, and in some instances for

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the planiff, for somebody seeking for somebody seeking that type

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 3>of relief, it's easy, and in others it's hard. And

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 3>so it just depends on who's the claimant. Right. When

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 3>the claimant is the state of Colorado, right, everybody in

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Colorado is sort of subject to that, And so it's

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 3>easy for judges to take action based on really large

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 3>swaths of people and groups. This is why you see

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty two, twenty three whatever it is states that are

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 3>joining this lawsuit plus this group, plus that group, plus

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, all these other entities and by and large

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 3>in most instances, it'll it'll cover as many people as

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 3>they can. So that's the new trick if you will

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 3>to try to get these judges to to exercise jurisdiction,

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 3>if you're the plaintiff over as broad a group as

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 3>you can.

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.119
<v Speaker 1>I okay, understand that. And of the states you mentioned,

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>they're all led by Democrat attorney generals. So that's where

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>this that's how this is landed in this case on

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>John J. McConnell's desk along with Judge Indira Telwanny. That's

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>how they That's how it landed on their desks, all right.

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>But I in my interest that there are three things here.

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 1>There is the morality of this, the moral obligation to

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>feed people who cannot eat for whatever reason, and it's

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>a it's a significant number.

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>There is also the political implication. I'm looking at Trump.

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's not stupid. He may be a lot

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of things to a lot of people. But if he

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>tries to block what these judges are doing at the

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court, all of a sudden, he's starving fifty for

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>almost fifty million people, not good politically. And then you

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>have what's going on here legally. So if you factor

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>all of those things together, I can't see Trump taking

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>what Indira Talwaunee and John J. McConnell did and appealing

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Supreme Court on this, can you?

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 3>It may be a little bit of thrown me in

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 3>the briar patch. Right. And so you're seeing, look the

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 3>government shutdown here, every politician in Washington is hitting reload

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 3>on their browser to see what the polls are saying.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Who's getting blamed for this? Right? And look, I don't

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 3>know if the shutdown has affected you. I don't know

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 3>if it's really affected me. I took a trip last weekend.

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I sat on the runway for what I thought was

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 3>a long time. In my mind, I'm wondering if that's

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 3>because the air traffic controllers aren't getting paid. But look,

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you're in federal court, you're noticing that

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 3>things are winding to a halt. If you are the

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 3>beneficiary of a federal program, then you're probably noticing that

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>things are winding to a halt. If your spouse works

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 3>for the Social Security Administration, then you're noticing things are

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 3>grinding to a halt. And the longer longer this drags out,

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 3>the more and more people will begin to notice, right,

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 3>and that's where the political blame is really sort of

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 3>taking shape. So, yes, it's a bad look to not

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>feed forty two million people, children and elderly people and

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 3>underprivileged and mentally handicapped and mentally ill and anything and everything.

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 3>So I think everybody wants to get them fed. Nobody

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 3>wants to take the blame for not feeding them, right.

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 3>The Democrats don't want to get blamed for shutting down

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 3>the government and ending this thing. And Trump doesn't want

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 3>to get blamed for, you know, by taking this thing

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>all the way up to the Supreme Court to make

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 3>sure that people can't eat. Everybody recognizes that this program

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 3>is a bit of a hostage.

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and and and you know, I again, it's these

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>same judges. I mean in Dera Telwane we heard her

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>before on immigration.

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 2>This John J.

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>McConnell seems like he's at the very least compromised politically.

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my god, the guy held Democrat various Democrat

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>state committees in Rhode Island. He was the treasurer of

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the Rhode Island Democratic State Committee and begged to sitting

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>senators to appoint him to the District Court in Rhode Island,

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Jack Reid and Sheldon Whitehouse. It just it seems to

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>me that this is this is this is the old trick.

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>What you don't get at the ballot box, you go

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to court and try and get a judgment there, and

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, on the other side of this, I'm thinking, well,

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Okay, they get this, then what's next.

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.599
<v Speaker 1>What's the next lawsuit that comes down the road. And

0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:00.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty soon whatever political capital that you gained in No

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Member of twenty twenty.

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Four is slowly eroding. This is an old trick, is

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 2>it not?

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>What you can't get at the ballot box, let's see

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>if we can get it in a court room.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 3>Are you saying that we don't need lawyers and that

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 3>we don't deserve to be the best and make all

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 3>the money and all that in the planet, which you

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 3>were saying earlier, No, I.

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Know, I have no problem, but believe in our legal system.

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no problem with lawyers and prosecutors. I got

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>problems with judges because I think at the very least

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>they arrive at the bench. And you don't need to

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>comment on this if you don't want to. At the

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>very least they arrive at the bench. They arrive compromise

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 1>because they're either there by getting elected where they have

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to raise funds and go into the community and try

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and get money out of people. They may have to

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>issue judgments on down the road, or they're appointed by

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>the old boys network. I don't think this country does

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 1>a very good job, and I don't know what the

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 1>answer is of putting judges on the bench, whether it

0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>be local, whether it be federal. But be that as

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>it may, Yeah, we need lawyers, I think. I think

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.959
<v Speaker 1>I think we need them. But I I and I

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>think that this is just to me as a citizen.

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at this and I'm saying, Okay, we don't

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 1>get our way, let's go sue, and let's put somebody

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in a corner where there's no possible way out of it.

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So I think it falls on Trump. He's got to

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>extend an olive branch of some kind to get this

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>thing going again, because it's going to have nobody if

0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>people aren't getting fed. But I think the last thing

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>anybody wants is to have federal judges just banging the

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>cabal that gabbled and issuing decrees for the entire country

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 1>to follow. When their Lane is Rhode Island. I think

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that's my problem, right, right.

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 3>And and we've talked about this before, ken h A

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.559
<v Speaker 3>being a judge, there's no way to get a judge

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:54.319
<v Speaker 3>that's not a political function. Right. There's just no way

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 3>to to find somebody anywhere that's not elected or appointed

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 3>or somehow put in their position by something that's not

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 3>political in some way, not the Supreme Court, not the

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 3>county Court at law in Collin County, Texas. There's just

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 3>no way, uh, to to have that, to have that work.

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>That's not going to be political. It's just a it's

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 3>just a side of it. And and and when we

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of talk about again kind of going back to

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.200
<v Speaker 3>what you were saying about the shutdown, this is what

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 3>we're what we're doing, is we're controlling the bleeding, right, uh,

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 3>And and and and as we're going to see more

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 3>and more and more of these things as certain pools

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 3>of money dry up, as certain pools of needy people

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 3>have their head on the chopping block. Right in this instance,

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 3>it's the snap funds. So as as this thing goes

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 3>on and on and on, Uh, everybody's bleeding out right,

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 3>And and and the politicians will i think come together,

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 3>uh when they see that Okay, now it's going to

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 3>hurt me. You know when when when when the Democrats

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 3>look at this or will the Republicans look at this

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.520
<v Speaker 3>and say, okay, we're taking the blame for this. The

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Democrats are gambling, uh that that you know, health care

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.839
<v Speaker 3>costs and prices, if if those begin to make people hurt,

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 3>they're gambling that they're going to blame the Republicans. Obviously,

0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 3>you know Donald Trump to your point at the beginning

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 3>of our conversation, you know, he's kind of hoping that

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 3>that that that that people see it his way that look,

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 3>it's the Democrats that are taking this program hostage, not me.

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 3>And and so as this thing sort of goes on

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>and the blood letting continues, at some point, you would

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 3>think that the politicians are going to say, okay, you

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.719
<v Speaker 3>do you do the need of that, and then here

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 3>we go, we're going to get this thing cracked up again.

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 3>So this is exhibit seven, right, this this snap thing.

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, we've already been through it with the federal

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 3>employees where we've already been through it with in several

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 3>different sectors. So so yeah, this is this is just

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 3>sort of how this goes. And and if you're the

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Democrats right now, you don't have either House of Congress.

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 3>What you got is are the courts. So that's that's

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 3>where you're going to go.

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well you got the you got the usual suspect

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>sitting behind the bench. Now this beauty on the U. S.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>District Court, I guess in d C. She by the

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>name of Judge Colin Kohor Katelli. We remember her from

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the immigration situation. Trump wants voter registration. You know, you

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 1>have to show an ID when you vote. What a concept?

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>You got to do that when you get on an airplane.

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't you want to do that if you if

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 1>you're if if you want election integrity. But she said no,

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that that's not right. And he he doesn't have the

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>right to uh issue that kind of executive order that

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>would require voter I d This one, I think does

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>go to the Supreme Court. I don't think the other

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>one does. I think that everybody is an agreement that

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>these forties two million people, somehow, some way need to

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.080
<v Speaker 1>get their federal assistance for food. But I think this

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the other judge, this Colin Caller Katelli.

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Her edict this week. I think this is going to

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court.

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you agree it could? You know, these executive orders

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 3>certainly have are more broad reaching, and they bring up

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 3>novel issues that we've not really confronted anymore, not the

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 3>least of which is what's the extent what is the

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 3>extent of in the executive order? And where does that

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 3>thing really love in our laws. It's not a statute, right,

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 3>and it's not necessarily a court order or anything like that.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 3>And so executive authority has certainly been the hottest topic

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 3>I would say of twenty twenty five as far as

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the courts are concerned. So this is going to be

0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 3>probably yet another test of that. It's interesting too, because

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of issues not only the executive's authority,

0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 3>but we've also had a lot of issues that deal

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 3>with federal sovereignty versus state sovereignty. Elections are something that

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 3>the states have typically exercised control over. You know, the

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Feds can kind of come in and watch, but you know,

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 3>states typically are are are able to conduct elections in

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 3>the way that they want. They have for you know,

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 3>just by way of example, I watched something the other

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 3>day about ranked choice voting in Alaska, and and that

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 3>that thing would have to I'd have to read that

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 3>seven times to make sure I didn't screw up my ballot,

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, because you get to you get to do

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 3>a first choice, in the second choice and a third choice,

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.080
<v Speaker 3>and then they put it in the computer and then

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 3>here's your winner. And sure, okay, if you say so.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 3>So there're certainly novel issues, and I think that I

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 3>think you're probably right for no other re and then

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, again, kind of going back to the very

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.159
<v Speaker 3>beginning of our talk, you know, Trump losing at this

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.400
<v Speaker 3>level is probably a little bit of throwing me into

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 3>the briar patch.

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, no matter how many times you

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>screw up rank voting in Alaska, you still wind up

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>with Lisa Murkowski. Jeremy Rosenthal, it's great to have you

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 1>on a weekend where I know you're working probably on

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.119
<v Speaker 1>a murder one case or something right now, so I

0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>appreciate your time. You are America's attorney and it's great

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you again. You have a great rest

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of the weekend, Jeremy. We'll be in touch.

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Joe red Raiders, We're going to be in the Big

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 3>twelve Championship we'll see if the Bearcats can make it

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 3>or not.

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, already drinking at this hour in Texas, our

0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>good buddy Jeremy Rosenthal, Stay.

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, my friend, you too, Bye bye.

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's astounding.

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>But no, there's no way in hell that you can

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.959
<v Speaker 1>morally or politically oppose what these two judges did. Telwandy

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and McConnell. And the Democrats know they got Trump over

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 1>a barrel on this thing, but I don't even I

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>would like to think he wouldn't appeel him anyway, because

0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is this is getting real. It's all

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.119
<v Speaker 1>fun and games till somebody gets hurt. And apparently that

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>people are starting to get hurt with these snap funds.

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll see where it goes. My guess is there will

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.400
<v Speaker 1>be action on this early part of next week. It's

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.679
<v Speaker 1>twelve twenty six, it's Saturday. We got a lot to

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 1>get to between now at three o'clock on seven hundred

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.200
<v Speaker 1>w welw alreday here in the Tri State and glad

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.399
<v Speaker 1>you are with us. The weather has really modern. I mean,

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say it rained a lot this

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 1>past week, but I swear to god I was out

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 1>on I seventy one, and I saw a guy with

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a boat looking for two of everything, but.

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Not this weekend.

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Nice last night for the kids, and trick or treating

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:54.639
<v Speaker 1>nice today. Tomorrow is going to be good for the Bengals.

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if the Bengals are good for the weather tomorrow. Nevertheless,

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it looks like they're stabilizing here and that is a

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>good thing. In Columbus, it's a bit of an adventure.

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State ten, penn State seven. That's with six minutes

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and eighteen seconds to go in the first half. Texas

0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty four Vanderbilt three. They're playing that one in Austin,

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>number twenty, Texas number nine Vanderbilt nine, twenty two to go.

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:26.760
<v Speaker 1>On the second quarter, Miami and SMU tied at seven.

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Miami the number ten team in the country and number

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.679
<v Speaker 1>twenty two Houston at home losing to West Virginia twenty

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 1>one to fourteen is the score in that game. Of course,

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.479
<v Speaker 1>there are many other games later on this afternoon, not

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the least of which, and the one that we're all

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to is the game tonight between the University

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of Cincinnati and the University of Utah out in Salt

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Lake City. A couple of things on this game. One,

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe that Cincinnati is a ten point underdog,

0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>but if you put that up against some factors that

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're not thinking of. I certainly was until I

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>heard that everybody thinks Denver and the thin air that

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Denver has this great advantage in that it's the thin

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 1>air in Denver that visiting teams struggle with. Well, it's

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of the same thing in Salt Lake City. The

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.159
<v Speaker 1>air does get thing. I was in Utah, southern Utah

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 1>about three years ago and was backpacking through some of

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the rocks there, you know, the down in Moab and

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 1>places like that. I was backpacking and it got to me.

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I could feel it was difficult to breathe. And it

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 1>was not for anything to do with the kind of

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.399
<v Speaker 1>physical shape I'm in. It was just it's difficult to breathe.

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 1>So that could be a mitigating factor and why the

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>line on this game is the way it is. The

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Other thing that could be is it's a late start.

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, let's face it, it may be a an

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>eight to fifteen kickoff in Utah, but it's also ten

0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen for the visiting team back home. So the

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 1>team is going to have a lot of time today

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to kill. Somebody asked Brendan sorosby the U SEE quarterback,

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.879
<v Speaker 1>you know you're going to take a nap, take many naps?

0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 1>What are you going to do between now, which would

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 1>be like right now and the game tonight.

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Here's what he had to say.

0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 5>It could be, you know, multiple short naps and then

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 5>we got watching it with football. Take another nap. Could

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.479
<v Speaker 5>just be one long nap where you know you're dreaming

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 5>and stuff. You catch that rim cycle. We don't know,

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 5>we'll see. Yeah, it's kind of like Thanksgiving. A lot

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 5>of people sleep through Thanksgiving.

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 1>But college football is it's just hit its stride right now. Indiana,

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.159
<v Speaker 1>who thought Indiana would be number two in the country.

0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.080
<v Speaker 1>They're at Maryland today and that's a three thirty start,

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and we've got Kentucky and Mark Stoops fighting for his life.

0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:53.880
<v Speaker 1>That team is at Auburn today. So there's a lot

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:55.879
<v Speaker 1>going on in college football. And when there is a

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.919
<v Speaker 1>lot going on in college football, we like to welcome

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.040
<v Speaker 1>in someone who I think knows more about it than

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>anybody I know. And he writes for the Athletic Dot

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Com And I've said this many many times. The Athletic

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>dot Com is the best sports investment you can make

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>for somebody in your family that may be a sports

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>fan this coming holiday season, because if you have a

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 1>subscription to the Athletic dot Com. I'm not paid to

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>say this. I am a consumer. I'm not paid to

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>say this. There's no junk up role videos and ads

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 1>or anything. It's just good sports journalism. And one of

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 1>the people that I speak of about to join us

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>right now, and the mere fact that he's from Cincinnati

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 1>makes it even better. He is their college football editor

0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 1>and it's great to welcome in Stuart Mandel here to

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred w wel w and Stuart, how are you

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 1>on this glorious game day?

0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 6>I'm great, Ken Howard thinking my hometown.

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Ooh man. I'll tell you what.

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>It's percolating on a number of different levels, one way

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>for the bear Cast, the other way for the Bengals,

0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>but believe the Bengals aside. How much of a surprise

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to you were the Bearcats or have the Bearcats been

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>this season? Because it seems like a lot of the

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>national guys are wondering exactly where this team came from.

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Are they a surprise to you.

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely pleasant surprise. It didn't see it from a from

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 6>a you.

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 7>Know, obviously as a your national you don't know the

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 7>ins and outs of a program.

0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 6>You don't. I don't, you know, I wouldn't.

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, Like in the off season, right, I

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 7>couldn't have told you their personnel and depth. Obviously I

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 7>knew their quarterback, but it just didn't seem the first

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 7>couple of years in the Big.

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Twelve really.

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.680
<v Speaker 7>Done anything to indicate it would give you the sign

0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:40.719
<v Speaker 7>that like, oh yeah, things are on the up. They

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 7>obviously had a big win last year or a issue.

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 7>It kind of got discounted because they didn't have Sam

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 7>Levit in that game. So and then they played the

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:51.199
<v Speaker 7>first game against Nebraska, and right, it would have been

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:53.400
<v Speaker 7>if they had upset Nebraska, right, that would have really

0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 7>some chocolate. So it really took a few weeks, maybe

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 7>even more to realize like, oh yeah, actually these guys

0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 7>are pretty good and out of one for Tony and

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:04.680
<v Speaker 7>I thought, actually last week's when was probably the most

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:09.520
<v Speaker 7>impressive yet just lining up and running it down my throat,

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:10.520
<v Speaker 7>you know, yeah.

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 1>No, it was, and I think it's it's going to

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 1>be maybe the showcase game that your colleague, Justin Williams

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>at the at the Athletic has at the second best

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>game in college football today, certainly tonight, but in the

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.400
<v Speaker 1>in the game day, I'm just you know, I think

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in college football anymore, if you've got a quarterback, and

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback can maneuver and maneuver with players he might

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 1>not be completely familiar with because of the portal and whatnot,

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you've got a leg up. And here's Brendan Soresby,

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>who's just I marvel at what he does on a

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>daily basis. He kind of reminds me in a lot

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 1>of ways of Baker Mayfield and just his escapability and

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.840
<v Speaker 1>his ability to make plays where there none seemed to be.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>But that's everything in college football today. If you've got

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:59.360
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback that can do that, the ceiling is pretty high,

0:24:59.480 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is it not.

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And give them a lot of credit because you know,

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 7>unfortunately these days, if you have a good quarterback, the

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:09.959
<v Speaker 7>next thing you have to do is make sure they

0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 7>don't leave, you know, especially if a big ten or

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.640
<v Speaker 7>SEC program, a deep pocket program is going to come calling.

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 7>But I know they gave him a really nice deal

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 7>kept for Insource. He kept them in place, and boy

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:24.200
<v Speaker 7>has he really shined this year.

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they went out and got wide receivers to

0:25:26.720 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 1>throw to. He didn't have anybody really of any note

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>last season. But now he's got Jeff cald Well, he's

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 1>got Cyrus Allen, he's got Caleb Goodie, he's got the

0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>tight end that came prancing down seventy one from Ohio State,

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Royer. So he's got weapons to throw too, and

0:25:43.840 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 1>they've got some stability on defense. And quite frankly, it

0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>was a year ago this time when a lot of

0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>people were wondering if Scott Saderfield had what it takes

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to coaching the Big twelve. I don't think it's that

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.920
<v Speaker 1>way anymore. I think they've they've figured out this whole

0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.400
<v Speaker 1>portal thing quickly, where a lot of their continent operas

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.919
<v Speaker 1>are struggling. What off teams, what of coaching staffs? Figure

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>it out? And others don't. Is it all money? Is

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it all deals in this day and age, or what else?

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 1>What else could it be?

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:11.800
<v Speaker 6>Well, first of all, I was one.

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 7>Of the skeptics of Scott got Batterfield, So kudos to

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 7>him for for kind of putting those doubts to rest Well,

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.360
<v Speaker 7>I think it's twofold. In terms of your question, Yes,

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:25.679
<v Speaker 7>you got to have an I own money, nobody nobody

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:30.159
<v Speaker 7>that's winning these days doing it without paying their player

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 7>as well. But also you got to get the right players.

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.640
<v Speaker 7>And I mean, for State spent a ton of money

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 7>on their transfers the last two years and they're terrible.

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 7>They they either picked the wrong players or they haven't

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 7>dissolved them. Well, you know, so it's not like, Okay,

0:26:45.520 --> 0:26:47.920
<v Speaker 7>we made a bunch of deals with ignorantee of success.

0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 7>Right maybe if you're Texas Tech and your billionaire get

0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 7>you like all the best transfers.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 6>But so yeah, step one is having the money and

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 6>the resources and frankly a lot.

0:26:59.920 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Of money, but.

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.560
<v Speaker 7>Knowing how to allocate it, especially with the revenue share now.

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 7>But step two is finding the right players. And I

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 7>do think that sometimes, you know, in terms of high

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 7>score recruiting, like high score recruiting, they start studying those

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 7>guys as sophomores, maybe even earlier, do a lot of

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 7>time to evaluate high score cruit transfer portal. Kid who

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.679
<v Speaker 7>was in the portal on Tuesday, he's visiting your campus

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:26.440
<v Speaker 7>on Thursday.

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 6>And so I do think a lot of people.

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 7>You know, miss because they don't have a lot of

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 7>time frankly to scout these guys.

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, and the other thing too, I think the successful

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:42.439
<v Speaker 1>stabs are stabs that actually know what culture is. You

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>hear a lot of coaches preach about culture and family

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and all that other stuff, but to actually implement it.

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Is another thing.

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>In this day and age, you go back ten years

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>ago to use your recruiting analogy. That's how you acquired players.

0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 1>You might get a transfer, sure, but most of your

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:02.639
<v Speaker 1>roster camp recruiting. So the player would arrive as freshman

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and then learn to integrate his self into what other

0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>players are and where they're from and all that in

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 1>essence grow up together. Now it's not that way, and

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:16.480
<v Speaker 1>culture becomes so much more important because if you don't

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:19.879
<v Speaker 1>have that, if you don't have an inclusive culture, people

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:21.680
<v Speaker 1>aren't going to get to know each other, and all

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:23.880
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden you have dysfunction. I think that's what's

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>happening at a lot of these schools.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.879
<v Speaker 3>Right The athletic My colleagues are the athletic.

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 7>Christ Fldman Ropperso had an excellent story of Friday about

0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:35.640
<v Speaker 7>what went wrong for Brian Kelly Lsu and that was

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 7>that was a big, big part of it, because there

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 7>was an assistant in there quoted saying, it's actually more

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 7>important now than ever because you are bringing in, in

0:28:46.800 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 7>many ways, a whole new roster every year and you

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:51.959
<v Speaker 7>don't have a lot of time to get guys you know,

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 7>kind of familiar with your culture and your system and

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 7>bought in.

0:28:54.760 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 6>And so I think a.

0:28:56.320 --> 0:29:00.320
<v Speaker 7>Lot of these times when we see highly touted teams,

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 7>Oh they got a great portal class, they're gonna be

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 7>great this year, and they fall apart, it's because of that.

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 7>You can't just have a band of guys who come

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 7>in from all over the place.

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 6>And I mean it's not the NFL, right, the NFL.

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 7>These guys professionals, They change teams, they know what to do.

0:29:17.160 --> 0:29:18.480
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, it's really important.

0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:23.320
<v Speaker 7>I mean look at Indiana clearly, for Signetti has built

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 7>a plan and a culture there and they get guys

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 7>to come and buy in and they're out there kicking

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 7>the race bus. They do not have obviously the kind

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 7>of resources that Ohio State or Michigan have, but.

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 6>They got it right. I mean they really did.

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Like they are one of these team.

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Programs that got their portal guys, right, Yeah, and they

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 2>got a quarterback.

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>They have Mendoza, and you know where he didn't work

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.880
<v Speaker 1>at one school, he's working there. So you would have

0:29:50.960 --> 0:29:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to think, for example, with Signetti in Bloomington, you would

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 1>have to think that a he knows what he's doing,

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and he is a staff that knows what he's doing.

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>But it kind of it doesn't You know, you're right,

0:30:01.400 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you could throw an all star team together, but it

0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't always work, and oftentimes it doesn't work. So

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I look at Indiana if you're if you're surprised by

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 1>what has happened here in the at the University of

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Sin today, I'm surprised by what's going on at Indiana.

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought they'd be good, but number two in the country,

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>no way. Were you surprised or are you surprised that

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>they are number two in the country.

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I guess not now, But I thought that. I mean,

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 7>I knew people were sleeping on them coming to this season.

0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 7>I thought they would still be really good, but they've

0:30:38.280 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 7>just taken it to a whole other level. I mean,

0:30:40.360 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 7>they're different.

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 8>I thought, you know, uh Rourke was a really good

0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 8>quarterback with Brandom.

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 7>And Doza is on a whole other level. And their defense,

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 7>their defense.

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 6>Is really taking a step up. We got them last.

0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 7>Year, you know, and when they finally you know, first

0:30:55.920 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 7>of all they had they had such a week competition

0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 7>for most last year, you didn't really know how good

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 7>they were. And then when they finally got to Ohio

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 7>State and that's a Notre Dame, they really got exposed

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 7>in the trenches this year. They played Iowa very early

0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:15.000
<v Speaker 7>in the season. Obviously, the game at Oregon, and I

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.800
<v Speaker 7>mean the game against Illinois obviously was the most eye opening.

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:19.080
<v Speaker 3>And they are.

0:31:19.080 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 7>Kicking every respot physically, so really good team. At first,

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 7>I said, you know, people would say in Indiana win

0:31:26.640 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 7>the national championship, and I say, absolutely not. They're really good,

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 7>They're not on that level. I do now think you

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 7>have to take them seriously.

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 6>As the national championship contender.

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, Chattiwi Stewart Mandeldiathletic dot com. We're talking college football,

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you see, and Utah later on tonight. I guess at

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the other end of the spectrum is the University of Kentucky.

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And I hate to speculate on anybody's job, but I

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>would think the clock is running out on Mark Stoops.

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>They've lost some games in the SEC this year, and

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:58.680
<v Speaker 1>other than the loss to Georgia, I'm sorry, other than

0:31:58.680 --> 0:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the last Tech lost to Texas, they've been basically blown out.

0:32:01.920 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm wondering, are you seeing the same thing too,

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 1>that maybe this isn't going to be a happy ending

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year for Stoops.

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 7>Other than yeah, a very nice buyout, it seems like

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 7>the Kentucky fans have really given up on them for sure.

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 7>Now I'm from a distance saying care for what you

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 7>wish for. I mean, he had the best run of

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 7>any Kentucky coach in Spare Bryant. It hasn't been as

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 7>great recently, to say the least. They kind of bottomed out.

0:32:30.880 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 7>But you know, you look at this market, this coaching cycle,

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:37.160
<v Speaker 7>and all the jobs that are already opened, some very

0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 7>attractive jobs in there. There are not enough good coaches

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 7>to go around. There are not we might see twelve thirteen,

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 7>fifteen powerful jobs open, and there are not fifteen really

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 7>good candidates out there. So if you're Kentucky and you're

0:32:52.000 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 7>kind of further down the pecking order, you know, how

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 7>can you be sure, you're actually going to upgrade for

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 7>Mark Stoops, but look, program has to deal with I mean,

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 7>this is this is a this is you're playing for

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 7>the fans, right, You've got to You've got to keep

0:33:09.800 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 7>your fans engaged. And for instance, with Penn State, a

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.880
<v Speaker 7>lot of people who maybe weren't as familiar were like,

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 7>how can they fire a dance? Franklin, you got such

0:33:17.640 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 7>a good record, And I said, did you did you

0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 7>see after they lost to Northwestern at home? I mean,

0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 7>I've never seen a crowd be so nasty to the coach.

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.000
<v Speaker 4>They they had to pull the plug.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I'm not.

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 7>There in Kentucky to know whether it's reached that depth

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 7>just yet.

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not good, I can tell you that. And fans

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>are reactive anyway to begin with. So but given the

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.360
<v Speaker 1>fact that I mean, he's you know, he played Texas

0:33:42.400 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 1>tough and had a chance to win that game, but

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 1>there was some questionable coaching calls in the overtime of

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>that game. But I mean have with Tennessee and with

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina, with Georgia and it, I mean, they weren't

0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 1>even really the same that they didn't go along on

0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the same field with those teams it was, so I

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's probably part of the problem that's exacerbated his situation.

0:34:01.440 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 1>What games are you watching today? Are you going to

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 1>go to any or or are you going to just

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>be a television addict today?

0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.840
<v Speaker 7>You know most weeks now and just a television addicts.

0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:13.719
<v Speaker 7>I need to the verses of my job. It's more

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 7>important for me to see all the games instead of

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 7>just some of the games. The YouTube TV might make

0:34:19.920 --> 0:34:24.800
<v Speaker 7>that difficult for me. Thankful, We'll see what happens there.

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 7>It's you know, it's one of those weeks where I

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 7>look at the matchups and I'm like, something crazy is

0:34:30.600 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 7>going to happen. I don't know what exactly, something crazy

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 7>is going to happen. I am interested to see Vanderbilk

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:39.839
<v Speaker 7>go to Texas because Vandy, you know, is kind of the.

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 6>Talk of college football right now, and Texas is not.

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 7>Then what we thought they would be, and arch manning

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 7>status is in doubt. So you know that really that

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:52.279
<v Speaker 7>really interests me in a lot of front. Interested to

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 7>see a cocktail party in Georgia and Florida because in

0:34:55.040 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 7>that game, it never matters. You know, Florida fired their coach.

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 7>They know a great record doesn't matter, Like I guarant

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:01.799
<v Speaker 7>to you, they will. They will show up to that

0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 7>game and then an interesting swing game if you will,

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 7>USC and Nebraska because whoever wins that it becomes talked

0:35:10.960 --> 0:35:14.160
<v Speaker 7>about as possibly a fourth they can playoff team, and

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 7>whoever loses is definitely out. But I will say the

0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 7>game I am most excited for all the game is

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 7>definitely Cincinnati Utah. I guess you guys got to stay

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 7>up late.

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 6>For that one.

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know it's it's you know, there's a blessing

0:35:27.120 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and occurs to that, but no, no, I think if

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:32.479
<v Speaker 1>there's a reason to stay up late tonight, it's Cincinnati Utah.

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And the schedule kind of falls nicely because right before

0:35:35.080 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>that you've got Oklahoma Tennessee, so you could you'll probably

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.319
<v Speaker 1>be able to get it most if not all, of

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that Oklahoma Tennessee game and before Cincinnati and Utah. Anyway,

0:35:45.160 --> 0:35:48.720
<v Speaker 1>great catching up with you, Stuart Stewartmandel Theathletic dot Com.

0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:24.320
<v Speaker 1>in the country, number two in the country. Kirk Signetti

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>has got that program up to heights. It is rarely seen. Meanwhile,

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 1>for US, it is one twenty six on this Saturday afternoon.

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Straight ahead. FC Cincinnati can make short work of Columbus,

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:44.240
<v Speaker 1>will they. We'll chat with a soccer influencer of great

0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:47.479
<v Speaker 1>note here in the greater Cincinnati area. Next on seven

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred wlw WLW Welcome back. I'm ken Brew two o'clock.

0:36:55.800 --> 0:37:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump works well on the international stage nationally. You

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 1>sit a few roadblocks thanks to these whack them old

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 1>judges running around in their robes banging their gabbles on

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:11.760
<v Speaker 1>anything they could find. Snap seems to be the big

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:18.680
<v Speaker 1>thing now. Is Snap a sham? And are we really

0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:23.319
<v Speaker 1>getting the true story from the media regarding Snap? Well,

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the answer to the true story from the media on

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 1>anything is no, but we're going to get into that

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:34.759
<v Speaker 1>at two o'clock. Meanwhile, tomorrow, oh wait, no, one more thing.

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State seventeen, Penn State fourteen seventeen fourteen, Ohio State

0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:44.399
<v Speaker 1>at the half up in Columbus. Meanwhile, as we can

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>say now, tomorrow night in Columbus, it's game two between

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:53.239
<v Speaker 1>the Columbus Crew and your FC Cincinnati. FC Cincinnati up

0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:55.719
<v Speaker 1>one game to none in the best of three. They

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 1>win tomorrow, it's over. They lose. They're back here next

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 1>weekend for match number three. FC Cincinnati can end it

0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:08.040
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow six thirty kick in Columbus. In the hell is

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 1>real Dettterby playoff? By the way, I mean, isn't that

0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:16.799
<v Speaker 1>a little contentious when you hear these announcers say Derby,

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:23.839
<v Speaker 1>the thing is spelled Derby. That's Derby, not Dutterby. It's

0:38:23.880 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>like it's you know, we're in the middle of County Cork. No,

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 1>it's Derby. Nevertheless, detr By Derby. We welcome in one

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 1>of the great soccer influencers in the greater Cincinnati area.

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:38.520
<v Speaker 1>He's our good buddy DJ Sweitzer, and he's standing by

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 1>to join us right now to talk about this Game

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:43.799
<v Speaker 1>two between Columbus and FC Cincinnati.

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:46.040
<v Speaker 2>DJ, how are you on this glorious day.

0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:48.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm great, Ken, glad to be joining you once again.

0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Why do they call it detrby when it's really spelled

0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:54.239
<v Speaker 1>derby d erb Why can you explain to me why

0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>they do that on Apple TV?

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm mesmerized by this.

0:38:57.960 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 8>I think it's a bit leaning into the way the

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:03.320
<v Speaker 8>English pronouncers technically say it, so I think it's another

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 8>one of those little English uganisms, squeaking its way in there.

0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 1>So in England, then when they say something isn't going right,

0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:13.399
<v Speaker 1>would they say something ain't going right just to lean

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 1>into America a little bit?

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that happens?

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 6>Maybe during the NFL broadcast, you know.

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:23.680
<v Speaker 1>So this match that was down here on Monday night,

0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought, clearly FC Cincinnati played the better game. I

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:29.879
<v Speaker 1>thought they had the better opportunities, couldn't put the ball

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:32.160
<v Speaker 1>in the back of the net for various reasons. But

0:39:32.200 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I think By and Laura je FC Cincinnati fairly dominated

0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that game. Was I watching the same game you were watching?

0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:42.359
<v Speaker 8>I mean it was definitely, you know, a match where

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:46.000
<v Speaker 8>two different teams are really playing two different styles of soccer,

0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:48.520
<v Speaker 8>and we definitely saw some ways where both teams had

0:39:48.560 --> 0:39:51.360
<v Speaker 8>some opportunities, but at Sea since A definitely were the

0:39:51.400 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 8>side that had the better of the opportunities. They had

0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 8>better expected goals, better chances overall, more chances overall. They

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 8>definitely looked the SA that dominated and I'm not at

0:40:01.320 --> 0:40:02.839
<v Speaker 8>all surprised they came away with the win.

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I was so afraid during that match because we've seen

0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:07.680
<v Speaker 1>this several times this year where they dominate a match

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>and they can't put the ball on the back of

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:14.280
<v Speaker 1>the net. And was it more of what they weren't doing?

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Were they Is this still something that dogs them even

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>though they've made changes, radical changes with the folks up front,

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>or was it just the way Columbus plays And it's

0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:27.359
<v Speaker 1>one of those matchups what side do you fall on?

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 8>So I think it's a bit more on how Columbus plays.

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:34.919
<v Speaker 8>They're a very possession oriented, conservative type of side where

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:36.920
<v Speaker 8>they like to hold on the ball and they like

0:40:37.000 --> 0:40:39.160
<v Speaker 8>to get men behind the ball and it's a very

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:42.359
<v Speaker 8>tough nut to crack sometimes and even with the firepower

0:40:42.360 --> 0:40:44.680
<v Speaker 8>that pat Noun has at a disposal.

0:40:44.160 --> 0:40:46.000
<v Speaker 6>With the Secason Snatty squad.

0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:48.040
<v Speaker 8>It can be tough to break it down, and like

0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:51.319
<v Speaker 8>you said, a couple of those opportunities that went, you know,

0:40:51.480 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 8>without a finish early on in the match. It definitely

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:56.399
<v Speaker 8>leaves you nervous, and it's one of those things as

0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:58.719
<v Speaker 8>you get later on in the match that you're like, geez,

0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:01.279
<v Speaker 8>that they don't convert one e Columbus sneaks in here.

0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought a vander who's obviously their best player, but

0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was guilty of playing a little hero

0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:07.200
<v Speaker 1>ball in that game.

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Did you feel the same way, Well.

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 8>I mean, he's the type of player that's always trying

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:13.359
<v Speaker 8>to unlock and come up with some of those creativity

0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:15.879
<v Speaker 8>type of moments, so you can't really fall him. It's

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 8>kind of in his nature. But there were some times

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.799
<v Speaker 8>where he probably chose something a little bit more extraving him,

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:23.040
<v Speaker 8>where a simple opportunity might have been an easier finish.

0:41:23.560 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 1>There was a little bit of news from FC Cincinnati

0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:28.160
<v Speaker 1>this week. First of all, Roman Celentana was honored with

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the Save of the Year and it was just an

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>incredible save that occurred, actually a series of saves that

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:38.160
<v Speaker 1>occurred earlier this year, and you know, I don't know

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:41.359
<v Speaker 1>where this club would be without Celentano. Yeah, I mean

0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 1>every goalkeeper is going to have it off night. But

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he was honored this week I think

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.800
<v Speaker 1>is nice. But I think it speaks at his consistency

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and this is what you need at this time of

0:41:51.960 --> 0:41:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the year is solid goalkeeping. I would think they're probably

0:41:57.000 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to scratch their heads in Columbus leading into this

0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.200
<v Speaker 1>game tomorrow and night to figure out, Okay, how do

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:03.480
<v Speaker 1>we deal with this dude?

0:42:03.680 --> 0:42:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Even if that back line for.

0:42:05.280 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati is as stout as it is, what do you

0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:12.160
<v Speaker 1>think is going through the minds of the Columbus crew

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and how to deal with Celentano?

0:42:14.600 --> 0:42:17.840
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think Columbus's main priority right now is scoring goals.

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:20.759
<v Speaker 8>It's not something that they've had exactly a lot of

0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 8>success with over the last month the month and a

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:25.319
<v Speaker 8>half of the season, really mean, many times they've had

0:42:25.400 --> 0:42:28.400
<v Speaker 8>more than one outside of the kind of an outlier

0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:31.520
<v Speaker 8>game in Atlanta towards the beginning of September. So they're

0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:35.239
<v Speaker 8>just looking to find answers offensively all the time, not

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 8>necessarily as to get past Roman. But I think their

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:40.399
<v Speaker 8>big thing is they're going to try to hold onto

0:42:40.400 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 8>the ball as much as they can and try to

0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:45.520
<v Speaker 8>make sure that SEC don't have those opportunities to split

0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:48.160
<v Speaker 8>forward and break forward and have some of those counter

0:42:48.239 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 8>attacking chances that they tend to create in the flow

0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:53.400
<v Speaker 8>of play. So I think they're really going to be

0:42:53.480 --> 0:42:55.959
<v Speaker 8>concerned with can we hold onto the ball out last

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 8>that FCC scoring opportunities and maybe pit something out of

0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 8>our kind of weekend attack.

0:43:00.680 --> 0:43:03.320
<v Speaker 1>And then the other honor was Nick Hagland wins MLS

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Comeback Player of the Year. I mean, his injury last

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.719
<v Speaker 1>season was just horrific, but I was really happy to

0:43:08.719 --> 0:43:10.720
<v Speaker 1>see it on a number of levels. One, he seems

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.920
<v Speaker 1>like a decent dude. Second, he's from here, and third

0:43:14.360 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 1>when he's in that lineup, it's it's a little bit

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:18.759
<v Speaker 1>different look for them.

0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Hagland.

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:22.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, some people looked at him and wondered, and

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 1>I was certainly one of them before his injury last year,

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.040
<v Speaker 1>like maybe, you know, as a game really passed this

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 1>guy by, But it really hasn't, has it.

0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:30.879
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:43:30.920 --> 0:43:33.920
<v Speaker 8>I mean, Nick is a guy who keeps defining or

0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 8>redefining what type of player he is and kind of

0:43:37.440 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 8>meeting and exceeding the expectations A lot of people said

0:43:40.040 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 8>for him when he first arrived here. Obviously, he came,

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:44.520
<v Speaker 8>you know, in those first couple of seasons with the

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:46.920
<v Speaker 8>SCC when they're trying to make their mark in the league,

0:43:47.120 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 8>and he has a great pedigree, whined a championship up

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:52.879
<v Speaker 8>in Toronto. It wasn't exactly a guy that you would

0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:55.279
<v Speaker 8>be like, that's a mark he's signing. But Nick just

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 8>had a habit of sticking around and finding his way

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 8>to be useful for the team. Well again, that first

0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:03.799
<v Speaker 8>name that really jumps out on the back line when

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 8>he's in there. They seem to have their stuff together

0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:08.800
<v Speaker 8>and it is exciting to see what he's going to

0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:10.800
<v Speaker 8>be able to do with him next or this weekend.

0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:13.040
<v Speaker 8>Is he again is going to have to step into

0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:13.439
<v Speaker 8>that role.

0:44:13.560 --> 0:44:15.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this thing goes to a third game?

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:17.520
<v Speaker 1>How do you think this plays out tomorrow night?

0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:21.239
<v Speaker 8>I mean, as far as things go in Columbus, that

0:44:21.239 --> 0:44:24.279
<v Speaker 8>SCC haven't exactly had the best run up there. They've

0:44:24.320 --> 0:44:27.520
<v Speaker 8>only won once and I think seven trips to Columbus.

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:29.560
<v Speaker 8>Although it's gotten a little bit better over the last year.

0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 8>They're one zero to one where they had a win

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 8>and a draw. So I think there's an opportunity to

0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:36.399
<v Speaker 8>go up to Columbus and get a win, but they're

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.839
<v Speaker 8>going to have to get that goal early and set

0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 8>Columbus on their back foots so that they're.

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.480
<v Speaker 6>Not just clogging up that field for the rest of

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:42.880
<v Speaker 6>the match.

0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:46.839
<v Speaker 1>You know this, this this series seems so elongated. You're

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 1>playing three matches in roughly two weeks. It's just I mean,

0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I've never played the game professionally. When

0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I did play, I wasn't that good as an amateur.

0:44:58.040 --> 0:44:59.680
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I was so poor as an amateur I

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:02.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think I played beyond youth. But the fact of

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:05.120
<v Speaker 1>the matter is, it seems like that they could could,

0:45:05.239 --> 0:45:07.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe tighten us up a little bit. Is

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:10.360
<v Speaker 1>three matches inside of two weeks too long or is

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 1>that about right for you?

0:45:12.080 --> 0:45:14.919
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean, obviously the international window from Major League

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:16.799
<v Speaker 8>Soccer is coming into play here a little bit and

0:45:16.880 --> 0:45:19.640
<v Speaker 8>causing some of these long layoffs in between the matches,

0:45:20.200 --> 0:45:22.840
<v Speaker 8>which is less than ideal but probably best from a

0:45:22.880 --> 0:45:26.800
<v Speaker 8>player perspective. I do think the players probably would prefer

0:45:27.040 --> 0:45:29.560
<v Speaker 8>a little bit of time off, so there's an opportunity

0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:33.160
<v Speaker 8>for recuperation. Obviously, the turnaround between this last game and

0:45:33.200 --> 0:45:35.640
<v Speaker 8>this one is it's fairly tight, but then we get

0:45:35.640 --> 0:45:38.000
<v Speaker 8>this big jump in between games two and three, so

0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:41.080
<v Speaker 8>it really becomes a question of you know, do you

0:45:41.280 --> 0:45:43.439
<v Speaker 8>want to have that break? And I think right now

0:45:43.480 --> 0:45:45.840
<v Speaker 8>this banged U s Cconcinty team will take a little

0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:48.160
<v Speaker 8>bit of time and get some of these other guys

0:45:48.160 --> 0:45:49.279
<v Speaker 8>back into the lineup if they can.

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Now, I asked you the question before last. How does

0:45:51.640 --> 0:45:53.440
<v Speaker 1>this thing play out? I'm going to pin you down.

0:45:53.440 --> 0:45:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Do they win to borrow night?

0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 6>I think this is that same game to loose? So yeah,

0:45:58.040 --> 0:45:59.920
<v Speaker 6>I think I think they've got it here this weekend.

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Ken, Right, So we're coming, We're looking for you. If

0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't happen, I'm just gonna let you know. Is

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that all right? We'll be looking at now.

0:46:05.760 --> 0:46:06.279
<v Speaker 4>I'll da you.

0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 1>DJ Sweitzer soccer influencer. By the way, what is a

0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:10.920
<v Speaker 1>soccer influencer?

0:46:12.120 --> 0:46:12.319
<v Speaker 4>Hey?

0:46:12.440 --> 0:46:14.440
<v Speaker 8>Just run in my mouth about the sport when other

0:46:14.440 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 8>people don't want to hear it.

0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:19.399
<v Speaker 1>What of about what about a million and a half

0:46:19.440 --> 0:46:21.000
<v Speaker 1>here in the greater Cincinnati area?

0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:23.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, DJ, stay well, you know we'll be in touch.

0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:25.120
<v Speaker 6>Thank you appreciate it.

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Game will be on ESPN fifteen thirty tomorrow, night. You

0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:35.319
<v Speaker 1>see tonight here on seven hundred WLW and UK.

0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Tonight on ESPN fifteen thirty. So we've got a.

0:46:37.800 --> 0:46:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Big guy in the iHeart media family here in Cincinnati.

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Got a lot going on one forty nine already on

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>this Saturday. I am ken Brew and this is seven hundred.

0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:52.840
<v Speaker 3>W l W. It's Radio seven hundred WLW.

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, gather around the lemonade stand.

0:46:54.800 --> 0:46:57.000
<v Speaker 1>We have one more hour to go, and that would

0:46:57.040 --> 0:46:59.439
<v Speaker 1>be from now until three we count down to UC

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.439
<v Speaker 1>football and that's a long countdown. Kickoff is not until

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:07.640
<v Speaker 1>ten fifteen tonight out in Utah, Utah, as they used

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:10.960
<v Speaker 1>to say back in the old neighborhood, the starting quarterback

0:47:11.000 --> 0:47:13.000
<v Speaker 1>for Utah is a guy named Devin damp Here. He's

0:47:13.120 --> 0:47:16.560
<v Speaker 1>very good, but he's been hurt. Even in his absence

0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:21.440
<v Speaker 1>last week, the backup bird Fickland, played very well.

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Either way, it.

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like you see HAD football coach Scott Centerfield has

0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:28.600
<v Speaker 1>his team prepared.

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:32.040
<v Speaker 9>And obviously, you know, Napier is their guy, and if

0:47:32.080 --> 0:47:35.799
<v Speaker 9>he's healthy and then we anticipate him playing and you know,

0:47:35.840 --> 0:47:37.600
<v Speaker 9>but now for them, they got to feel really good

0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:40.040
<v Speaker 9>about the fact that they got another guy that can

0:47:40.080 --> 0:47:41.839
<v Speaker 9>put in there and had an outstanding game and think

0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 9>he was.

0:47:42.000 --> 0:47:43.680
<v Speaker 2>A Big twelve Player of the Week this past week.

0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:46.640
<v Speaker 9>So but I think, you know, it's what they do

0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:49.000
<v Speaker 9>team wise, you just have to defend that whole offense.

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Be in about an hour and a half out in

0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Maryland College Park, Maryland, it will be the Terps against

0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:57.960
<v Speaker 1>number two Indiana. I don't think a lot of people,

0:47:57.960 --> 0:48:00.520
<v Speaker 1>as we talked about with Stuart Mandela an hour ago,

0:48:00.560 --> 0:48:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think a lot of people really saw this

0:48:03.239 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 1>coming for Indiana, and a lot of people are wondering

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:07.440
<v Speaker 1>what the success is or why.

0:48:10.080 --> 0:48:13.560
<v Speaker 9>And obviously you know Nampier is their guy and he's healthy.

0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:16.800
<v Speaker 1>No, that's the wrong guy. This guy is Kurt Signetti.

0:48:16.840 --> 0:48:18.880
<v Speaker 1>He's their head coach. So what's the reason. You know,

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a reason for this.

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:22.520
<v Speaker 6>You know, the thing we ask our guys that do

0:48:22.560 --> 0:48:23.640
<v Speaker 6>is play every play.

0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 9>Like it's nothing, nothing, game on the line, and from

0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:29.799
<v Speaker 9>beginning then, regardless of the competitive circumstances.

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:31.480
<v Speaker 6>And I think they've bought into that message.

0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Well they have, and they're they're very good and again

0:48:34.080 --> 0:48:37.200
<v Speaker 1>taking on Maryland today and favored despite being on the

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:41.239
<v Speaker 1>road UK at Auburn later on tonight, so we are

0:48:41.280 --> 0:48:44.560
<v Speaker 1>now into our second month of the government shutdown, and

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to most of us, we have not been affected. Unless

0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:49.799
<v Speaker 1>you work for the military, or you're someone who is

0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:55.160
<v Speaker 1>working for government agencies like the air traffic controllers, or

0:48:55.280 --> 0:49:01.359
<v Speaker 1>it may be somebody that relies on federal funding, it's

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:04.200
<v Speaker 1>probably not affected your life all that much. It's about

0:49:04.200 --> 0:49:07.319
<v Speaker 1>to particularly with the situation that is going on with

0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the ATC and how there may be delays and flights

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. And it's also affected SNAP SNAP, which is

0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a term for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and those are benefits,

0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:29.160
<v Speaker 1>and those benefits help those who maybe have food shortages

0:49:29.200 --> 0:49:33.400
<v Speaker 1>in their life or no food in their life. But remember,

0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:36.800
<v Speaker 1>not too long ago, there was the one big beautiful

0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:40.000
<v Speaker 1>bill that was passed by Congress, and in that one

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:49.319
<v Speaker 1>big beautiful bill, that particular program was really dug into

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:56.480
<v Speaker 1>to remove most refugees, asylum seekers, trafficking and domestic violence victims,

0:49:56.520 --> 0:50:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and other legal immigrants. About ninety thousand people will lose

0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:07.160
<v Speaker 1>SNAP in an average month according to what the Big

0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful Bill is all about. But now we're hearing that

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:15.560
<v Speaker 1>forty two million people are going to be affected because

0:50:15.640 --> 0:50:18.600
<v Speaker 1>of the government shutdown. And not being able to continue

0:50:18.680 --> 0:50:24.520
<v Speaker 1>funding SNAP. It's complicated, and there have been gross abuses

0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of SNAP since the Democrats got that program up and running.

0:50:29.360 --> 0:50:34.120
<v Speaker 1>For example, this is from it's a federal I'm sorry,

0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:36.879
<v Speaker 1>this is a federal This is a report from the

0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Department of Health and Human Services.

0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:40.960
<v Speaker 2>And this is the quote.

0:50:41.719 --> 0:50:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Federal, state and local spending on refugees and asylum seekers,

0:50:47.360 --> 0:50:52.320
<v Speaker 1>including food, healthcare, education, and other expenses, totaled four hundred

0:50:52.360 --> 0:50:56.879
<v Speaker 1>and fifty seven billion with a B dollars from two

0:50:56.960 --> 0:51:01.600
<v Speaker 1>thousand and five to twenty nineteen. Again, that's from the

0:51:01.640 --> 0:51:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Department of Health and Human Services and during that time,

0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:10.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty one percent of refugees and asylum seekers received SNAP benefits.

0:51:10.560 --> 0:51:14.040
<v Speaker 1>The Big Beautiful Bill cut that out, But look at

0:51:14.040 --> 0:51:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the abuse that went on before the one Big Beautiful Bill,

0:51:19.280 --> 0:51:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and it makes you wonder if that was that program

0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:24.920
<v Speaker 1>was so corrupt, Well, what is it now? Who is

0:51:24.920 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 1>it serving now? And Trump's got a problem. We've got

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of problems with this one. He has two judges.

0:51:34.400 --> 0:51:34.759
<v Speaker 2>John J.

0:51:34.920 --> 0:51:40.200
<v Speaker 1>McConnell maybe the most politically compromised judge in the country.

0:51:40.239 --> 0:51:42.360
<v Speaker 2>He operates out of the U. S. District Court of

0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Rhode Island.

0:51:43.000 --> 0:51:45.239
<v Speaker 1>He was a political operative for the Democrat Party in

0:51:45.320 --> 0:51:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island and contributed to Democrat candidates. Begged two Democrat

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:51.319
<v Speaker 1>senators to appoint him to the bench there in the

0:51:51.320 --> 0:51:55.600
<v Speaker 1>District Court, and he so was. He issued a ruling

0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:59.320
<v Speaker 1>on Snap, as did Judge in Deira Taiwani of the

0:51:59.440 --> 0:52:05.359
<v Speaker 1>US District Court for Massachusetts. The two rulings that came

0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:08.040
<v Speaker 1>down yesterday seem to be in conflict with each other,

0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and it also seems, at least from what I'm reading,

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 1>it also seems to raise the specter that there is

0:52:17.120 --> 0:52:20.360
<v Speaker 1>this slush fund of about five and a half billion

0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:24.120
<v Speaker 1>dollars that could be paid right now to eliminate the

0:52:24.160 --> 0:52:29.000
<v Speaker 1>SNAP problem, except that five and a have billion wouldn't

0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:32.160
<v Speaker 1>pay for a full month. The program costs the federal

0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:37.680
<v Speaker 1>government about nine billion dollars monthly, and it's not clear

0:52:37.719 --> 0:52:40.440
<v Speaker 1>whether or not that they can dip into that money legally.

0:52:41.400 --> 0:52:44.360
<v Speaker 1>And so the Trump administration is looking for some guidance

0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:46.759
<v Speaker 1>from these two judges that don't be don't seem to

0:52:46.760 --> 0:52:49.640
<v Speaker 1>be in sync with each other. Meanwhile, there's a giant

0:52:49.680 --> 0:52:54.160
<v Speaker 1>political problem that Trump has, and when it comes to politics,

0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:56.480
<v Speaker 1>why not turn to one of the finest political minds

0:52:56.480 --> 0:53:01.239
<v Speaker 1>of our time. He is doctor Frank Sorrentino, noted political

0:53:02.480 --> 0:53:05.600
<v Speaker 1>pundon and also someone who has written the definitive history

0:53:05.600 --> 0:53:09.239
<v Speaker 1>of American presidents. And I asked doctor Sorrentino to join

0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:12.560
<v Speaker 1>me today and he's absolutely delighted. I'm told he's standing

0:53:12.600 --> 0:53:16.000
<v Speaker 1>by online too, So let's go to him, Doctor Sorrentino,

0:53:16.080 --> 0:53:17.800
<v Speaker 1>how are you on this glorious.

0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:21.600
<v Speaker 10>Saturday, doing wonderful and it's a pleasure to be with you.

0:53:21.840 --> 0:53:23.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you're with us here. Doctor. A lot of

0:53:23.719 --> 0:53:24.480
<v Speaker 2>things percolating.

0:53:24.520 --> 0:53:26.680
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I think if I look at Donald

0:53:26.719 --> 0:53:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump right now, what I see is kind of a

0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:34.840
<v Speaker 1>micro cosm of his presidency. He succeeds internationally, he settles wars,

0:53:35.280 --> 0:53:38.840
<v Speaker 1>he makes deals with countries that brings dollars into America.

0:53:39.120 --> 0:53:42.080
<v Speaker 1>All things percolating rather well there, except perhaps on the

0:53:42.200 --> 0:53:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine Russia front. And then when you get back home,

0:53:45.960 --> 0:53:49.360
<v Speaker 1>he's got tremendous problems. He's got problems with the opposing

0:53:49.400 --> 0:53:51.960
<v Speaker 1>party that doesn't want to do business with him. He's

0:53:51.960 --> 0:53:54.600
<v Speaker 1>got problems with regards to his own party. He has

0:53:54.680 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>people that call themselves Republicans, but they're really Democrats, and

0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:00.879
<v Speaker 1>it makes it difficult for him to get things done

0:54:00.880 --> 0:54:03.160
<v Speaker 1>where in the middle of a government shutdown. So why

0:54:03.200 --> 0:54:06.640
<v Speaker 1>is this guy so good internationally getting things done but

0:54:06.760 --> 0:54:10.160
<v Speaker 1>so snyming on so many fronts? Want with what he

0:54:10.200 --> 0:54:12.520
<v Speaker 1>wants to get done by things here at home?

0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:19.239
<v Speaker 10>Well, I think there is a divide in America, and

0:54:19.320 --> 0:54:23.840
<v Speaker 10>this divide is much more polarized and deeper. So it

0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:29.080
<v Speaker 10>transcends Trump. But Trump has his own style which in

0:54:29.200 --> 0:54:35.240
<v Speaker 10>some ways exacerbates some of that polarization and tension that exists.

0:54:35.600 --> 0:54:41.200
<v Speaker 10>So he's both a product of that polarization which put

0:54:41.239 --> 0:54:46.319
<v Speaker 10>him into the presidency, and it creates the problem of

0:54:46.400 --> 0:54:49.640
<v Speaker 10>trying to deal with it at the same time, Why.

0:54:49.440 --> 0:54:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Do Democrats hate him? Why do they hate him so much?

0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Is it because he did not allow Queen Hillary to

0:54:55.920 --> 0:54:58.560
<v Speaker 1>ascend to the throne in twenty sixteen?

0:54:58.719 --> 0:55:02.799
<v Speaker 7>Or is it deeper than I think it's deaker than that,

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:04.960
<v Speaker 7>But it begins there.

0:55:06.080 --> 0:55:14.239
<v Speaker 10>Hillary couldn't represented the internationalization of the Democratic Party and

0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:19.360
<v Speaker 10>the corporatization of the Democratic Party. And what you had

0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:25.759
<v Speaker 10>in the post Cold War was this notion that America

0:55:26.040 --> 0:55:30.440
<v Speaker 10>was no longer a domestic nation but a member of

0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:35.640
<v Speaker 10>the globalized community, where we could offshore almost all the

0:55:35.680 --> 0:55:39.560
<v Speaker 10>industrial production of the United States A bit of a

0:55:39.640 --> 0:55:46.759
<v Speaker 10>hyperbole there, but at the same time enriched the profits

0:55:46.800 --> 0:55:52.040
<v Speaker 10>of the corporate elits of America, and it did benefit

0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:56.759
<v Speaker 10>large numbers of people, particularly people on the coastal elites

0:55:56.840 --> 0:56:02.360
<v Speaker 10>of the Pacific and the Atlantic, and it impoverished a

0:56:02.440 --> 0:56:06.440
<v Speaker 10>large number of people. But those people weren't as important

0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:12.160
<v Speaker 10>because they didn't have the technical skills, because they were

0:56:12.200 --> 0:56:15.759
<v Speaker 10>of a prior error in terms of technology, and two,

0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:19.960
<v Speaker 10>they didn't have the wealth and the political power. So

0:56:20.120 --> 0:56:25.680
<v Speaker 10>Trump marshaled the agreed class, if.

0:56:25.560 --> 0:56:27.120
<v Speaker 6>I could put it that way.

0:56:27.360 --> 0:56:31.239
<v Speaker 10>And what he did was in danger large numbers of

0:56:31.360 --> 0:56:39.239
<v Speaker 10>people who made magnificent profits during the period following the

0:56:39.280 --> 0:56:42.200
<v Speaker 10>Cold War, and I think that was very difficult. Now

0:56:42.280 --> 0:56:46.160
<v Speaker 10>on social issues, I think I could speak from New

0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:50.840
<v Speaker 10>York here, where we're about to have maybe a socialist mayor,

0:56:52.440 --> 0:56:59.240
<v Speaker 10>is that the Democrat Party has also embraced a different

0:56:59.400 --> 0:57:03.960
<v Speaker 10>view of how governance existed in the United States for

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:07.759
<v Speaker 10>a period of almost two hundred and fifty years. We

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:13.480
<v Speaker 10>now see a majority of Democrats sympathetic towards the concept

0:57:13.520 --> 0:57:23.040
<v Speaker 10>of socialism and socialism and globalism, while Trump represents nationalism

0:57:23.480 --> 0:57:25.080
<v Speaker 10>and capitalism.

0:57:25.400 --> 0:57:27.240
<v Speaker 1>You know the issue we have here at home. The

0:57:27.240 --> 0:57:30.600
<v Speaker 1>government's been shut down for over a month. Food assistance

0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the plans snap is running out, probably will run out

0:57:36.040 --> 0:57:38.280
<v Speaker 1>here in the next day or two for those that

0:57:38.360 --> 0:57:42.680
<v Speaker 1>need food. Military is not getting paid. Although apparently there

0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is some sort of private funding that will help air

0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:49.200
<v Speaker 1>traffic controllers on the job, not getting paid air travel

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:51.240
<v Speaker 1>can be a problem. My point in all of this

0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:56.120
<v Speaker 1>is that the Republicans have the majority in the Senate,

0:57:56.840 --> 0:58:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and there's a thing called the filibuster, and it wants

0:58:00.560 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the filibuster blown up and done away, which means that

0:58:03.480 --> 0:58:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you can get legislation passed with a mere majority. You

0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:09.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have to get to the sixty vote threshold. And

0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:12.760
<v Speaker 1>there are a lot of country club Republicans in Washington,

0:58:12.920 --> 0:58:15.960
<v Speaker 1>DC right now, doctor that are saying, no, that's army Jeddon.

0:58:16.000 --> 0:58:18.320
<v Speaker 1>We should never go that way because if the Democrats

0:58:18.400 --> 0:58:20.960
<v Speaker 1>ever get control, then they would have the ability to

0:58:21.000 --> 0:58:24.520
<v Speaker 1>push through their agendas statehood for example for DC, or

0:58:24.680 --> 0:58:28.880
<v Speaker 1>packing the Supreme Court. My position is Trump is waiting

0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:32.800
<v Speaker 1>on judges to be approved. He's got a government that's

0:58:32.840 --> 0:58:36.720
<v Speaker 1>been shut down because of Democrat obstinates. Should we be

0:58:36.800 --> 0:58:40.680
<v Speaker 1>worried about the filibuster because it doesn't matter what Democrats

0:58:40.680 --> 0:58:42.840
<v Speaker 1>are going to do if they get in power, they're

0:58:42.880 --> 0:58:44.840
<v Speaker 1>going to do it anyway. They're going to do away

0:58:44.840 --> 0:58:47.040
<v Speaker 1>with it. So why not just get it over with now,

0:58:47.120 --> 0:58:50.280
<v Speaker 1>get the government running, get judges approved, and get this

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:51.320
<v Speaker 1>thing back on track.

0:58:51.360 --> 0:58:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Why not just do it?

0:58:53.400 --> 0:59:01.160
<v Speaker 10>Well, if that's an interesting and very tempting solution, the

0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:07.040
<v Speaker 10>problem is that I think you erode some of the restraints.

0:59:07.440 --> 0:59:11.160
<v Speaker 10>I remember when Harry Reid was the Senate majority leader

0:59:11.680 --> 0:59:16.760
<v Speaker 10>and Obama was president and they lowered the level for

0:59:17.440 --> 0:59:21.440
<v Speaker 10>district court judges and Appella Court judges to majority than

0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:25.040
<v Speaker 10>when Trump got elected. That Mitch McConnell did it for

0:59:25.160 --> 0:59:29.280
<v Speaker 10>the Supreme Court, and what we have is a polarized

0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:33.680
<v Speaker 10>judiciary as well. There is something to be said about

0:59:33.760 --> 0:59:37.760
<v Speaker 10>super majorities in the Senate. Now. The problem here is

0:59:37.760 --> 0:59:42.000
<v Speaker 10>is some people will say, as you did, that it's

0:59:42.040 --> 0:59:45.800
<v Speaker 10>going to be done anyway. The filibuster may be a relic,

0:59:46.480 --> 0:59:49.480
<v Speaker 10>and it may well happen. You may be right, but

0:59:49.800 --> 0:59:51.680
<v Speaker 10>I'm not so sure it's a good idea.

0:59:52.360 --> 0:59:53.360
<v Speaker 4>If we could.

0:59:53.320 --> 0:59:55.280
<v Speaker 6>Strengthen that norm.

0:59:55.720 --> 1:00:01.920
<v Speaker 10>We could then develop more consensus so that administration becomes

1:00:02.520 --> 1:00:06.240
<v Speaker 10>just as one sided and just push forth an agenda

1:00:06.560 --> 1:00:09.360
<v Speaker 10>that half the nation detests.

1:00:09.480 --> 1:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you don't think, Yeah, okay, I mean I understand that,

1:00:13.880 --> 1:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think I think your point is valid. But

1:00:15.920 --> 1:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>there has to be something that gets this off the dime,

1:00:18.480 --> 1:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>because here we are not a year into his second term,

1:00:21.920 --> 1:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>and we've got this obstinence on the side of the Democrats,

1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and we already talked about Trump derangement syndrome, particularly on

1:00:28.720 --> 1:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the far left of the Democrats, and they're sucking the

1:00:31.360 --> 1:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>rest of the party into their into their corner with him.

1:00:34.400 --> 1:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>So what are we looking at three more years of

1:00:37.120 --> 1:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>paralysis here? I mean, they can't even they can't even

1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>get a continuing resolution approved, which has been the norm,

1:00:46.160 --> 1:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>particularly for the Democrats since since god knows when you

1:00:50.080 --> 1:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>can go back decades.

1:00:51.320 --> 1:00:52.680
<v Speaker 2>They can't even get that done.

1:00:52.760 --> 1:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>So then if that's the case, and your anti blowing

1:00:56.200 --> 1:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>up the filibuster, then where's the answer here?

1:00:58.360 --> 1:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>How does he get done?

1:01:00.040 --> 1:01:00.240
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:04.200
<v Speaker 10>And it just surprises me a bit because he is

1:01:04.280 --> 1:01:09.360
<v Speaker 10>a deal maker and he seems to be unwilling to

1:01:10.520 --> 1:01:14.760
<v Speaker 10>offer a face saving device for the Democrats, and I

1:01:14.800 --> 1:01:20.560
<v Speaker 10>think that's critical in all negotiations he could offer. I mean,

1:01:20.640 --> 1:01:26.800
<v Speaker 10>one of the big problems is this Obamacare Affordable Care Act,

1:01:27.320 --> 1:01:34.280
<v Speaker 10>where they made arrangements okay, where the insurance companies would

1:01:34.280 --> 1:01:38.440
<v Speaker 10>get almost a guaranteed ten percent profit. And he made

1:01:38.520 --> 1:01:42.920
<v Speaker 10>another alliance with the pharmaceutical companies where they could sell

1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:47.760
<v Speaker 10>the drugs at list price, and that was successful in

1:01:47.840 --> 1:01:54.480
<v Speaker 10>getting it passed, but now it becomes symbolic of the

1:01:54.560 --> 1:01:59.400
<v Speaker 10>financial crisis in the United States about health care. I

1:01:59.480 --> 1:02:03.040
<v Speaker 10>think the Democrats are so dug in on this that

1:02:03.160 --> 1:02:07.959
<v Speaker 10>he's got to offer them something. Of course, the subsidies

1:02:08.000 --> 1:02:12.400
<v Speaker 10>are what keeps Obamacare going, and there may be some

1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:16.160
<v Speaker 10>temporary thing which you want to you want them to

1:02:16.240 --> 1:02:20.440
<v Speaker 10>vote for the clear continuing resolution, but they don't appear

1:02:20.520 --> 1:02:24.240
<v Speaker 10>to be doing that. And I think with his foreign

1:02:24.320 --> 1:02:28.920
<v Speaker 10>policy success, he could offer an olive branch, whether it

1:02:29.080 --> 1:02:37.200
<v Speaker 10>is on snap or some subsidies for the Obamacare dreamings,

1:02:37.240 --> 1:02:39.440
<v Speaker 10>which are going to be very very high for a

1:02:39.480 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 10>lot of people, and it's fundamentally destructive. I think of

1:02:43.320 --> 1:02:46.040
<v Speaker 10>the healthcare system the way he was formulated.

1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:54.240
<v Speaker 4>But he's he's stubborn too. That could run his problem

1:02:54.440 --> 1:02:55.720
<v Speaker 4>but foreign policy.

1:02:55.480 --> 1:02:59.160
<v Speaker 10>He seems to know that you don't win by just

1:02:59.240 --> 1:03:02.600
<v Speaker 10>demanding what you want. You have to have that win

1:03:02.760 --> 1:03:08.400
<v Speaker 10>win situation, and I'm not quite sure. I mean, you

1:03:08.440 --> 1:03:11.280
<v Speaker 10>could say this the principle of continuing resolutions, and I

1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:15.600
<v Speaker 10>agree with that, but at the same time this hostility,

1:03:15.800 --> 1:03:19.479
<v Speaker 10>he could be more magnanimous and then try to win

1:03:19.760 --> 1:03:22.760
<v Speaker 10>again on some of these other issues about how you're

1:03:22.840 --> 1:03:25.600
<v Speaker 10>going to finance the government. Yeah, I think that's a

1:03:25.640 --> 1:03:26.360
<v Speaker 10>real problem.

1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>No, yeah, I yeah, absolutely, And shame on the Republicans

1:03:31.200 --> 1:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>for not having their own quote unquote Obamacare. Where the

1:03:34.560 --> 1:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>hell is that They've never They've always said Obamacare is bad.

1:03:37.800 --> 1:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>They never came up with anything better. So if you're

1:03:40.600 --> 1:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>going to just say we're going to dig our heels

1:03:42.880 --> 1:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>in and we're going to try and take Obamacare down,

1:03:45.320 --> 1:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>whether it's through not voting on these subsidies or bastardizing

1:03:50.760 --> 1:03:53.439
<v Speaker 1>whatever Obamacare is, okay, fine, Well what do you offer

1:03:53.480 --> 1:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>in return? They don't have anything. The Republicans devoid of

1:03:57.240 --> 1:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>any ideas on healthcare for the United States. And it's

1:04:01.720 --> 1:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that's where they and I part because I think if

1:04:04.240 --> 1:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you're going to say, okay, that's bad, get rid of it.

1:04:06.600 --> 1:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, what do you got that's better? And they

1:04:08.480 --> 1:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>don't have anything that's better.

1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:15.640
<v Speaker 10>I think you're absolutely right, Ken, because they have basically

1:04:15.720 --> 1:04:20.240
<v Speaker 10>been opposed to the Obamacare, but have not provided a

1:04:20.400 --> 1:04:24.600
<v Speaker 10>solution that deals with some of these same issues in

1:04:24.640 --> 1:04:30.560
<v Speaker 10>a more economical way that doesn't destroy the premiums and

1:04:30.600 --> 1:04:34.640
<v Speaker 10>the economic welfare of a large segment of the American public.

1:04:35.200 --> 1:04:39.600
<v Speaker 10>And that's one of their great failures. But they don't

1:04:40.400 --> 1:04:44.760
<v Speaker 10>prioritize that. They prioritize the rhetoric but not the solution.

1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:52.400
<v Speaker 10>And the Democrats have not been willing to modify the

1:04:52.680 --> 1:04:57.400
<v Speaker 10>Affordable Care Act by taking some of those incentives because

1:04:57.560 --> 1:05:04.200
<v Speaker 10>that's part of their constituency. And we're facing this very,

1:05:04.320 --> 1:05:06.560
<v Speaker 10>very difficult crisis because I.

1:05:06.680 --> 1:05:11.880
<v Speaker 6>Think more than we could go back two.

1:05:11.600 --> 1:05:16.479
<v Speaker 10>Centuries, but the hatred of both sides towards each other

1:05:17.120 --> 1:05:21.360
<v Speaker 10>is reaching a feverish pitch where so many people are

1:05:21.360 --> 1:05:27.400
<v Speaker 10>seeing things like assassination and defying the law as legitimate options.

1:05:27.440 --> 1:05:31.080
<v Speaker 10>And when that happens, you risk not only civil peace,

1:05:31.280 --> 1:05:37.040
<v Speaker 10>but the unification of the country on agreed upon principles

1:05:37.080 --> 1:05:38.280
<v Speaker 10>of how you're going to govern.

1:05:38.840 --> 1:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, that's why you've got a doctorate. And that's why

1:05:42.520 --> 1:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting in Cincinnati talking to you, because you're the expert,

1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:50.960

1:05:57.840 --> 1:05:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of the weekend, and you and I can't take.

1:05:59.520 --> 1:05:59.960
<v Speaker 6>Down the world.

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:01.840
<v Speaker 4>It's always a pleasure.

1:06:01.560 --> 1:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, Stay well, doc YouTube now by.

1:06:04.840 --> 1:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll see, we'll we'll see exactly when this comes

1:06:08.360 --> 1:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to a head. I've got a feeling it'll be after

1:06:10.040 --> 1:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>election Day. It'll be after this Tuesday. Everybody will get interested.

1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I've said the big thing was after last Sunday when

1:06:15.960 --> 1:06:18.480
<v Speaker 1>they had was it last Sunday they or last Saturday

1:06:18.480 --> 1:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they had the no Kings nonsense. I said right after

1:06:22.080 --> 1:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that it's but it didn't, it didn't get settled. Now

1:06:25.000 --> 1:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking after election Day we'll see. But I think

1:06:27.440 --> 1:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>he's right. I think an olive branch from Trump would

1:06:30.600 --> 1:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>go a long way. And just bringing this thing to.

1:06:33.160 --> 1:06:36.400
<v Speaker 2>A head, we'll find out. That's the beauty of it.

1:06:36.440 --> 1:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll all find out together to twenty seven News Radio

1:06:40.160 --> 1:06:41.480

<v Speaker 3>you get with a medica.

1:06:49.960 --> 1:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Coming up after the news at the top of the hour,

1:06:52.280 --> 1:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>it's sterling and he'll create probably six or seven major problems,

1:06:59.160 --> 1:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>but so all of the problems before the ones he creates, So.

1:07:04.440 --> 1:07:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Stay tuned for him.

1:07:06.200 --> 1:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State up in a commanding fashion in Columbus over

1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Penn State thirty one fourteen, twelve minutes to go in

1:07:15.000 --> 1:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the fourth and final quarter. Of course, tomorrow it's the

1:07:17.520 --> 1:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Bengals end. It is the Bears down town at Pey

1:07:22.160 --> 1:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Corpse Stadium. The Bears are a two and a half

1:07:25.480 --> 1:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>point favorite, largely because Joe Flacco's hurt. Now he's going

1:07:31.240 --> 1:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>to start. He said he will play and said also

1:07:36.200 --> 1:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>this this week. I don't know, I've never really dealt

1:07:39.120 --> 1:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>with it before, but I guess there's a point where

1:07:41.440 --> 1:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not really up to you.

1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just kind of how it's reacting and how you feel.

1:07:45.880 --> 1:07:51.880
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I wanted to make sure, you know,

1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:53.480
<v Speaker 3>I was able to test it out a little bit.

1:07:53.520 --> 1:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>So the Bears are not in great shape either. I mean,

1:07:56.880 --> 1:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>they did win four in a row before stumbling last

1:07:59.840 --> 1:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>week week in Baltimore.

1:08:01.440 --> 1:08:02.320
<v Speaker 2>What's going on up there?

1:08:02.320 --> 1:08:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I know their secondary is beaten up, and their quarterback,

1:08:05.480 --> 1:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>whom they once thought was the future of the franchise

1:08:08.640 --> 1:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>still is on shaky grounds new head coach and Ben Johnson.

1:08:11.880 --> 1:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>But what of others?

1:08:14.120 --> 1:08:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And why does it seem that that team is struggling

1:08:16.880 --> 1:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>as much as it is in the red zone? I mean,

1:08:19.200 --> 1:08:21.200
<v Speaker 1>they're just they get in the renzo, they.

1:08:21.000 --> 1:08:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Don't know what to do. And so I was wondering

1:08:23.800 --> 1:08:24.280
<v Speaker 2>about that.

1:08:25.240 --> 1:08:28.479
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get Kevin Fishbaine on because he covers

1:08:28.520 --> 1:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the team for the Athletic dot Com. He's one of

1:08:31.080 --> 1:08:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the reasons why I subscribe to that website, and I

1:08:34.640 --> 1:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>was just wondering if we get some insight from him,

1:08:37.120 --> 1:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and there is just boning in right now online number one,

1:08:40.240 --> 1:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>So let's bring him on in. So what is the

1:08:42.800 --> 1:08:44.880
<v Speaker 1>problem with the red zone? I mean, they've got a

1:08:44.920 --> 1:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of problems, but the red zone really, to me

1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, that would be a red flag if

1:08:50.280 --> 1:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Bears fan.

1:08:51.720 --> 1:08:54.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, They've had issues all over the board inside to

1:08:55.000 --> 1:08:57.640
<v Speaker 4>twenty and it's been penalties, it's been not getting the

1:08:57.720 --> 1:09:02.600
<v Speaker 4>run game on track. It's been you know, passing in accuracy,

1:09:02.840 --> 1:09:06.320
<v Speaker 4>you name it. It's been kind of institutional issue more

1:09:06.400 --> 1:09:10.720
<v Speaker 4>so than on one player that they've had so many problems.

1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:13.640
<v Speaker 4>You know, they're five for six teams scoring touchdowns the

1:09:13.640 --> 1:09:16.479
<v Speaker 4>red zone in the last four games as well, below

1:09:17.000 --> 1:09:19.600
<v Speaker 4>league average and where they should be. And this is

1:09:19.640 --> 1:09:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Ben Johnson, who you know, the Detroit Lions are one

1:09:22.360 --> 1:09:24.040
<v Speaker 4>of the best teams in the league in the red zone.

1:09:24.080 --> 1:09:27.400
<v Speaker 4>So I think that it's a lot of just hammering

1:09:27.400 --> 1:09:29.719
<v Speaker 4>out the details, gaining these guys in the same page,

1:09:29.840 --> 1:09:32.080
<v Speaker 4>kind of some of that coach speaks stuff. But look,

1:09:32.479 --> 1:09:36.040
<v Speaker 4>it's hard not to reference the quarterback when you're talking

1:09:36.080 --> 1:09:39.080
<v Speaker 4>about the red zone. You know, the quarterback is tasked

1:09:39.080 --> 1:09:41.400
<v Speaker 4>with so many of those things to try to get

1:09:41.400 --> 1:09:43.720
<v Speaker 4>the ball in the end zone, and Cable Livers just

1:09:43.760 --> 1:09:47.760
<v Speaker 4>has not been consistent enough in those critical situations.

1:09:47.439 --> 1:09:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Is it still a matter of transition from from one

1:09:50.520 --> 1:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff to the other. I mean, he's got Zach

1:09:53.080 --> 1:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Taylor's brother is the passing game coordinator up there.

1:09:55.840 --> 1:09:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Is it?

1:09:56.439 --> 1:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it that kind of one of those things that

1:09:58.360 --> 1:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you would expect, or is this kind of eat in

1:10:00.280 --> 1:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the season to expect these things.

1:10:02.960 --> 1:10:05.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think do you expect it to take some time?

1:10:06.600 --> 1:10:09.840
<v Speaker 4>Look Jared Goff, who was a veteran who's been to

1:10:09.880 --> 1:10:12.800
<v Speaker 4>a Super Bowl, it took him eight games to really

1:10:12.800 --> 1:10:16.120
<v Speaker 4>get a new groove with Ben Jonson back in twenty

1:10:16.160 --> 1:10:18.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty two. So this is this is kind of the

1:10:18.400 --> 1:10:20.840
<v Speaker 4>critical stage now for Caleb Williams. If you're gonna use

1:10:20.840 --> 1:10:23.600
<v Speaker 4>that comparison, this is the game that he if he

1:10:23.640 --> 1:10:25.800
<v Speaker 4>goes in the golf timeline, then he should start to

1:10:26.360 --> 1:10:28.559
<v Speaker 4>really feel good in the system. So yeah, it's going

1:10:28.640 --> 1:10:31.320
<v Speaker 4>to take time. And I think too and Ken you

1:10:31.360 --> 1:10:34.640
<v Speaker 4>know this about you guys have a quarterback there and

1:10:34.720 --> 1:10:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Joe Burrow, who, as much as the team struggled his

1:10:39.040 --> 1:10:41.640
<v Speaker 4>rookie year, I feel like when you watch Burrow, you

1:10:41.720 --> 1:10:45.320
<v Speaker 4>knew right away and it has not really been the

1:10:45.360 --> 1:10:47.959
<v Speaker 4>case here for them to be able.

1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:48.120
<v Speaker 3>To say that.

1:10:48.240 --> 1:10:49.760
<v Speaker 4>I think the Bears would love to say that, but

1:10:50.120 --> 1:10:51.800
<v Speaker 4>maybe we also should have a little bit more patient.

1:10:52.000 --> 1:10:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, it is so difficult, it really is. I mean,

1:10:54.520 --> 1:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>burrows are few and far between, as you know in

1:10:56.400 --> 1:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the Lake, but I think there could be something on

1:10:58.120 --> 1:11:01.519
<v Speaker 1>that whole transition thing. How how is the line holding

1:11:01.640 --> 1:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>up Uh, there's a guy up there other plays guard,

1:11:05.280 --> 1:11:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe Tooney who's from down here in the Greater Cincinnati

1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>area that I thought would have been a target for

1:11:10.080 --> 1:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals in the off season giving their you know,

1:11:13.280 --> 1:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>their line problems. But how is the line in front

1:11:16.439 --> 1:11:17.599
<v Speaker 1>of Williams played this year?

1:11:18.880 --> 1:11:22.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's been better. Obviously that the Bears made some

1:11:22.160 --> 1:11:25.000
<v Speaker 4>big investments. You mentioned Tony. They traded for Jonah Jackson,

1:11:25.040 --> 1:11:27.280
<v Speaker 4>gave him a new contract. They and Drew Dollman, who

1:11:27.360 --> 1:11:31.360
<v Speaker 4>is the best center available. Their run blocking has generally

1:11:31.360 --> 1:11:34.479
<v Speaker 4>been pretty good. Darnel Wright the right tackles, playing through

1:11:34.520 --> 1:11:36.800
<v Speaker 4>an injury. He has a lot of big kind of

1:11:36.840 --> 1:11:39.720
<v Speaker 4>brace on his arm, but he's been playing really, really

1:11:39.760 --> 1:11:42.719
<v Speaker 4>well the past few weeks. Still better than the left tackle.

1:11:42.840 --> 1:11:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Is a great story on drafted guy out of Canada

1:11:45.680 --> 1:11:48.400
<v Speaker 4>and has helped their run game. But obviously it's going

1:11:48.479 --> 1:11:50.280
<v Speaker 4>to take him some time in the in the past game,

1:11:50.439 --> 1:11:52.960
<v Speaker 4>and we've seen that the last two weeks where opponents

1:11:52.960 --> 1:11:56.920
<v Speaker 4>have really gotten to him on pass plays. So the

1:11:56.960 --> 1:12:01.639
<v Speaker 4>line is better, but when he was taking significantly fewer

1:12:01.680 --> 1:12:05.920
<v Speaker 4>sacks than it took last year. But it's still it

1:12:06.040 --> 1:12:07.240
<v Speaker 4>still can be better.

1:12:07.640 --> 1:12:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Again.

1:12:08.080 --> 1:12:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Red zone issue fall starts a bit a major issue

1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:14.439
<v Speaker 4>with this group, and you know, same thing with these

1:12:14.439 --> 1:12:16.400
<v Speaker 4>guys even better, and it just takes time with the

1:12:16.400 --> 1:12:20.000
<v Speaker 4>new playbook sometimes, especially one is detailed as Ben Johnson.

1:12:20.120 --> 1:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I watched, I watched the offense, and I mean

1:12:24.000 --> 1:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>even in games that that the Bears won, there it

1:12:27.040 --> 1:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>just seemed to be off a tick and I don't

1:12:29.120 --> 1:12:30.479
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. And I don't want to hang

1:12:30.520 --> 1:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>everything on the transition because there's there's some there's some

1:12:33.360 --> 1:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>good players there. DJ Moore. Uh, you know, he's a

1:12:36.160 --> 1:12:39.640
<v Speaker 1>good player, don Roma. Donza is a good player. I

1:12:39.720 --> 1:12:42.439
<v Speaker 1>think DeAndre Swift has proven himself in the league. And

1:12:42.760 --> 1:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I know they're all battling injuries, but I mean that

1:12:44.800 --> 1:12:47.439
<v Speaker 1>that the quote unquote skill positions, there seems to be

1:12:47.600 --> 1:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>enough talent I think for this team to be clicking

1:12:50.479 --> 1:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit more.

1:12:51.439 --> 1:12:51.559
<v Speaker 10>Now.

1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Again, look, they had that long win streak that was

1:12:53.760 --> 1:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>broken last week. But it just seems like it should

1:12:56.439 --> 1:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be better. Doesn't it seem that way to you?

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:01.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it should be. You know, they've got the players.

1:13:02.880 --> 1:13:04.800
<v Speaker 4>You can you can spin it and say, you know,

1:13:04.920 --> 1:13:07.599
<v Speaker 4>Swift's not a pro bowler. DJ Moore is accomplishes, He's

1:13:07.600 --> 1:13:09.760
<v Speaker 4>been never been to a Pro Bowl. Rome is still young.

1:13:10.960 --> 1:13:13.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, They've got these tight ends who they really

1:13:14.120 --> 1:13:18.280
<v Speaker 4>like but just haven't really gotten going. And there's a

1:13:18.320 --> 1:13:20.760
<v Speaker 4>lot the names you ro outted up. I think a

1:13:20.760 --> 1:13:23.080
<v Speaker 4>lot of teams would be happy with that collection of

1:13:23.160 --> 1:13:26.200
<v Speaker 4>skilled players, and each guy has had their flashes, but

1:13:26.240 --> 1:13:29.400
<v Speaker 4>it's just they just even even the game against Dallas,

1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:32.280
<v Speaker 4>which is kind of the biggest offensive explosion they had,

1:13:32.640 --> 1:13:34.880
<v Speaker 4>they stalled out a couple of times in the second half,

1:13:34.920 --> 1:13:36.760
<v Speaker 4>and Ben Johnson he really wanted to kind of put

1:13:36.800 --> 1:13:39.080
<v Speaker 4>that game away and they were not able to. So

1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:42.800
<v Speaker 4>they have not come close to playing their best game

1:13:42.840 --> 1:13:46.599
<v Speaker 4>with something Ben Jonson has been emphasizing. As you know,

1:13:46.760 --> 1:13:51.680
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati's defense statistically creates an opportunity for the Bears to

1:13:51.760 --> 1:13:54.720
<v Speaker 4>maybe try to get right. But you know, when you

1:13:55.160 --> 1:13:58.080
<v Speaker 4>have false start and you're not consistently running the ball,

1:13:58.280 --> 1:14:01.200
<v Speaker 4>and you're not accurate with the throws, you're not scorking

1:14:01.280 --> 1:14:02.679
<v Speaker 4>the red though, it's a lot of things to fix

1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:05.000
<v Speaker 4>them one week when you're going on the road. So

1:14:05.760 --> 1:14:09.200
<v Speaker 4>it's I would say it's too too simple to say

1:14:09.200 --> 1:14:11.519
<v Speaker 4>that Sincenay is going to be the recipe for the

1:14:11.520 --> 1:14:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Bears to get right. There's a lot of things that

1:14:14.360 --> 1:14:15.439
<v Speaker 4>still need to get worked out.

1:14:15.920 --> 1:14:18.800

1:14:18.840 --> 1:14:22.479
<v Speaker 1>He covers the Chicago Bears on a daily basis. They

1:14:22.520 --> 1:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>added CJ. Gardner Johnson this week the Bears. Do you

1:14:25.160 --> 1:14:27.439
<v Speaker 1>have a great story up there Kevin on just the

1:14:27.520 --> 1:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of problem he's been for teams off the field.

1:14:30.520 --> 1:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But they're desperate. I mean, this is a guy that

1:14:32.760 --> 1:14:36.000
<v Speaker 1>can cover the you know, the slot. Uh, they're gonna

1:14:36.040 --> 1:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have their hands fall obviously in this game against the

1:14:38.320 --> 1:14:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Bengals with Higgins and Chase outside, but he can cover

1:14:41.840 --> 1:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>players in the slot. There's no question about that. Was

1:14:44.960 --> 1:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that a leap of faith for them because I mean

1:14:47.439 --> 1:14:49.439
<v Speaker 1>he's been with a lot of teams and we know why.

1:14:51.240 --> 1:14:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's you know, generally had a good sign when

1:14:53.960 --> 1:14:55.880
<v Speaker 4>a team trains for you and then cuts to you

1:14:55.920 --> 1:14:58.760
<v Speaker 4>a few weeks later, like what happened in Houston, and

1:14:59.120 --> 1:15:01.120
<v Speaker 4>you have to dive into that when you're a Bear's

1:15:01.120 --> 1:15:03.559
<v Speaker 4>steam And I will say this is rare for the

1:15:03.560 --> 1:15:06.599
<v Speaker 4>Bears under GM Ryan Poles to bring in a player

1:15:06.960 --> 1:15:09.519
<v Speaker 4>like this who has bounced around as much as he has,

1:15:09.560 --> 1:15:13.120
<v Speaker 4>but I think there is faith. Obviously. Dennis Allen was

1:15:13.160 --> 1:15:15.600
<v Speaker 4>the coach when Garter Johnson came into the league, and

1:15:15.840 --> 1:15:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Johnson had him for a little bit or overlap with

1:15:18.240 --> 1:15:21.479
<v Speaker 4>him at Detroit in twenty twenty three, and Al Harris

1:15:21.479 --> 1:15:24.720
<v Speaker 4>a secondary coach. It's a no nonsense guy who's got

1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:26.160
<v Speaker 4>a lot of respect in this league, a lot of

1:15:26.160 --> 1:15:28.920
<v Speaker 4>respect in the filing. I think certainly counting on him

1:15:29.520 --> 1:15:32.200
<v Speaker 4>to help, but you're right, they need it. You saw

1:15:32.280 --> 1:15:36.280
<v Speaker 4>Tyler Huntley and the Ravens really attack the Bears backup

1:15:36.320 --> 1:15:39.960
<v Speaker 4>corners last week and do so successfully. So to get

1:15:40.000 --> 1:15:43.559
<v Speaker 4>a veteran who's competitive as they all get out, and

1:15:43.680 --> 1:15:47.560
<v Speaker 4>you know what, sometimes in this league, I mean, you

1:15:47.680 --> 1:15:49.120
<v Speaker 4>got to be careful with it and you got to

1:15:49.160 --> 1:15:51.400
<v Speaker 4>harness it. But sometimes it's okay in this league to

1:15:51.439 --> 1:15:54.960
<v Speaker 4>have somebody who can be a pest. And the Bears

1:15:54.960 --> 1:15:56.559
<v Speaker 4>don't really have a whole lot of guys like that,

1:15:56.640 --> 1:15:59.120
<v Speaker 4>so maybe you would like somebody who's a little more accomplished.

1:15:59.160 --> 1:16:01.200
<v Speaker 4>And it wasn't you know, cut in the middle of

1:16:01.240 --> 1:16:04.599
<v Speaker 4>the season, but he is an upgrade from what they

1:16:04.600 --> 1:16:07.960
<v Speaker 4>were using since Kler Gordon got hurt.

1:16:08.320 --> 1:16:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's handicap this then seriously hurting a corner. You're

1:16:13.400 --> 1:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get Joe Flacco this week. There's no

1:16:15.840 --> 1:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>doubt in my mind that whatever ailed him earlier in

1:16:17.800 --> 1:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the week, he's he'll be there on Sunday. You know

1:16:20.360 --> 1:16:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get Chase. You know you're going to

1:16:21.600 --> 1:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>get Higgins. If you're Chicago, the running game here in

1:16:25.080 --> 1:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati has blossomed, you also know that you're going to

1:16:28.160 --> 1:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>get a defense it's not very good and probably won't

1:16:31.439 --> 1:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>have Trey Hendrickson. I'm just I'm just I'm just wondering

1:16:34.280 --> 1:16:36.880
<v Speaker 1>as you look at this game and knowing all of

1:16:36.920 --> 1:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>that and seeing Chicago in the last four games before

1:16:41.280 --> 1:16:44.160
<v Speaker 1>what happened in Baltimore, the way they played, just wondering,

1:16:44.400 --> 1:16:45.880
<v Speaker 1>how do you handicap this one?

1:16:46.080 --> 1:16:47.800
<v Speaker 2>How do you how do you see this one playing out?

1:16:49.800 --> 1:16:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? It's I mean you talk about the secondary injuries

1:16:54.080 --> 1:16:57.000
<v Speaker 4>for the Bear is going up against Chase and Higgins

1:16:57.040 --> 1:17:01.599
<v Speaker 4>and that's a rough matchup. You know it was Rashan

1:17:01.680 --> 1:17:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Bateman and Save Flowers were making big plays against them

1:17:04.439 --> 1:17:06.599
<v Speaker 4>last week. I can only imagine which of our chases

1:17:06.600 --> 1:17:08.840
<v Speaker 4>they can turn. You on the film I mean, he's

1:17:08.840 --> 1:17:13.519
<v Speaker 4>been beating double teams of good corners, so I like

1:17:13.640 --> 1:17:17.639
<v Speaker 4>that matter for Cincinnati, and as well as the Bears

1:17:17.680 --> 1:17:21.200
<v Speaker 4>have been creating takeaways this season, they're not gained after

1:17:21.200 --> 1:17:24.559
<v Speaker 4>the passer very well. And if you give Joe Flaco time,

1:17:24.600 --> 1:17:28.479
<v Speaker 4>he'll kill you. And you know, the Bears played him

1:17:28.479 --> 1:17:30.400
<v Speaker 4>when he was in Cleveland and twenty twenty three and

1:17:30.479 --> 1:17:33.320
<v Speaker 4>he led a fourth quarter comeback for the Ages in

1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:36.640
<v Speaker 4>that game. Different coaching staff, different players, but it was

1:17:36.640 --> 1:17:41.760
<v Speaker 4>only two years ago. So I like Cincinnati's chances to

1:17:41.800 --> 1:17:45.080
<v Speaker 4>score a lot of points. And I just I know

1:17:45.120 --> 1:17:49.080
<v Speaker 4>that the Bengals defenses has been rough. I have a

1:17:49.080 --> 1:17:51.080
<v Speaker 4>lot of faith in the Bears coaching staff to get

1:17:51.120 --> 1:17:54.439
<v Speaker 4>things better, but you know, sometimes you just got to

1:17:54.439 --> 1:17:56.160
<v Speaker 4>see it to believe it. And I haven't seen them

1:17:56.200 --> 1:17:58.439
<v Speaker 4>from his Bears offense to really think they can fully

1:17:58.479 --> 1:18:02.120
<v Speaker 4>take advantage of Bengals defense. So I haven't made like

1:18:02.200 --> 1:18:06.680
<v Speaker 4>an official pick yet, but I I can see I

1:18:06.680 --> 1:18:08.600
<v Speaker 4>can see the Bengals finding a way to win this

1:18:08.640 --> 1:18:13.920
<v Speaker 4>one at home, and if it's a shootout, frankly, I'm

1:18:13.920 --> 1:18:17.559
<v Speaker 4>taking I'm taking Flacco, uh and those receivers over a

1:18:17.560 --> 1:18:19.719
<v Speaker 4>Bears office and just hasn't gotten it all together.

1:18:19.880 --> 1:18:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:18:20.520 --> 1:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody's buying into the Bengals defense down

1:18:23.000 --> 1:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>here just yet. But this is an important game for Chicago.

1:18:25.479 --> 1:18:28.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, after this, uh, they played in New York

1:18:28.120 --> 1:18:30.160
<v Speaker 1>at home, you would think that that's a winnable game

1:18:30.200 --> 1:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>against the Giants. Then they got to go to Minnesota

1:18:32.960 --> 1:18:36.080
<v Speaker 1>division rivalry game, and then they played Pittsburgh. If you're

1:18:36.120 --> 1:18:38.479
<v Speaker 1>if you're Chicago, you would think your best shot here

1:18:38.720 --> 1:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe this game against the Bengals and then the Giants.

1:18:42.400 --> 1:18:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota is going to get McCarthy back, we'll see how

1:18:45.600 --> 1:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that goes. And Pittsburgh is uh is a team that's

1:18:49.000 --> 1:18:51.200
<v Speaker 1>proven it could score some points. So this is kind

1:18:51.240 --> 1:18:53.839
<v Speaker 1>of a pivotal game. Right after that series of games,

1:18:54.040 --> 1:18:55.680
<v Speaker 1>they go to Philadelphia and then they got to go

1:18:55.720 --> 1:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>to Green Bay. So my guess is they got to

1:18:57.920 --> 1:19:00.639
<v Speaker 1>make some sort of hay in these next four games

1:19:00.680 --> 1:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>if they want to stay competitive, if not inside the

1:19:03.720 --> 1:19:05.960
<v Speaker 1>division as one of the seven teams in the NFC.

1:19:06.200 --> 1:19:08.439
<v Speaker 3>Right, that's a great point.

1:19:08.560 --> 1:19:12.479
<v Speaker 4>I mean, in the last five games, they're gonna be

1:19:12.560 --> 1:19:15.679
<v Speaker 4>underdogs probably in all five. You got Philly, you got

1:19:15.680 --> 1:19:18.639
<v Speaker 4>two against Green Bay. Sorry, they got they have Cleveland homes,

1:19:18.760 --> 1:19:20.400
<v Speaker 4>will be favorite in that game. So five of their

1:19:20.600 --> 1:19:23.719
<v Speaker 4>six final games they will be underdogs to Green Bay,

1:19:24.240 --> 1:19:28.360
<v Speaker 4>uh two against Green Bay at Philly, Detroit, coming to Chicago,

1:19:28.760 --> 1:19:31.000
<v Speaker 4>and then at San Francisco on a Sunday night. So

1:19:31.760 --> 1:19:34.120
<v Speaker 4>they yeah, they've got to build a little cushion for

1:19:34.200 --> 1:19:36.960
<v Speaker 4>themselves as they enter that stretch. And this is a

1:19:37.000 --> 1:19:39.200
<v Speaker 4>game that you know, look, they should win, but I

1:19:39.240 --> 1:19:41.559
<v Speaker 4>would have said they should have beat Baltimore with Tyer

1:19:41.640 --> 1:19:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Huntley at quarterbacks last week. And so yeah, you know

1:19:46.320 --> 1:19:49.280
<v Speaker 4>Ben Jonson improved in that Dallas game that they need

1:19:49.320 --> 1:19:52.080
<v Speaker 4>to prove anything to us, But that was a really

1:19:52.160 --> 1:19:55.439
<v Speaker 4>pivotal moment for them coming off just an ugly, ugly

1:19:55.479 --> 1:19:59.000
<v Speaker 4>loss in Detroit to make so many corrections and get

1:19:59.040 --> 1:20:01.880
<v Speaker 4>that win. And I'd like to think coming off the

1:20:01.960 --> 1:20:05.200
<v Speaker 4>loss against Baltimore that he has a capability to get

1:20:05.280 --> 1:20:08.919
<v Speaker 4>these guys in position to do it again. And and

1:20:08.960 --> 1:20:11.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm curious what the Bengals look like coming off are

1:20:11.240 --> 1:20:14.679
<v Speaker 4>just a tough such a tough loss to the Jets.

1:20:15.160 --> 1:20:18.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, you don't have you don't have your star quarterbacking,

1:20:18.120 --> 1:20:21.080
<v Speaker 4>you don't have your star defensive end, that's tough to

1:20:21.120 --> 1:20:23.400
<v Speaker 4>get off the mat after losing a game like that

1:20:23.439 --> 1:20:25.680
<v Speaker 4>to a team at the JET. So that's gonna be

1:20:25.680 --> 1:20:28.760
<v Speaker 4>another interesting storyline the follow You're right, this is this

1:20:28.800 --> 1:20:31.080
<v Speaker 4>is a game that the Bears really for their the

1:20:31.080 --> 1:20:33.720
<v Speaker 4>way their season looks like, you got to win this game.

1:20:33.880 --> 1:20:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well that's why you and I live right. I mean,

1:20:35.920 --> 1:20:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the game is one thing, but the stories are the

1:20:37.880 --> 1:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>are the even more intriguing things. Yes, drama abound, certainly

1:20:42.240 --> 1:20:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Bengals and Bears at take War Stadium. Kevin good stuff

1:20:45.800 --> 1:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>can continue the good work at the Athletic really good stuff.

1:20:49.040 --> 1:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>If you're if you're just a football fan, it's it's

1:20:51.240 --> 1:20:53.720
<v Speaker 1>a great he's a great follow. But also if you're

1:20:53.720 --> 1:20:56.479
<v Speaker 1>a Bears fan, I can't think of a better guy

1:20:56.479 --> 1:20:59.040
<v Speaker 1>to follow than Kevin at the Athletic dot Com. Stay well,

1:20:59.040 --> 1:21:01.639
<v Speaker 1>and I know you're coming to the game, so we'll

1:21:01.640 --> 1:21:02.839
<v Speaker 1>see you down here on Sunday.

1:21:02.840 --> 1:21:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Thanks all right, thanks for Letten.

1:21:05.160 --> 1:21:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Bengals give up a lot of yards on the ground,

1:21:07.160 --> 1:21:10.519
<v Speaker 1>but the Bears are banged up in the backfield. DeAndre Swift,

1:21:10.760 --> 1:21:15.439
<v Speaker 1>lead running back out, one of the backups Rashawn Johnson out.

1:21:15.520 --> 1:21:17.200
<v Speaker 2>So see if that makes a difference.

1:21:17.960 --> 1:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>You've got to tackle people, man, you gotta start tackling people.

1:21:21.680 --> 1:21:25.800
