1
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Said, look at this now, another bumpy ride on Wall

2
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Street today, folks has called that four and thirty four

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: and fifty lower ballpark lower in the Dallas and Pe

4
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: down ninety now as that took it hard, three hundred

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 1: and sixty one points lower. That that's pretty rough, and

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell exactly why. No, it's not. The goal up

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: eighty seven, eighty eight dollars fifty one sixty sixty right

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: there below that. Look at that number. Oil up nine

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: fifty five eleven, almost twelve percent higher in the oil market.

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: That means what used to be a two dollars and

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: seventy five cent gallon gasoline across the country became a

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: three dollar and may become a three twenty five, maybe

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: a three point fifty. If that price sticks, you're probably

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: pushing close to three fifty three seventy five a gallon

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,519

Speaker 2: dropping as child off to kindergarten. You asked the question,

51
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to answer your question.

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: How are you going to guess?

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,960

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,880

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: You have emails.

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 4: You've denied that Jeffrey Epstein that you tried to get

60
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Epstein to give money to you. I did not,

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: Howard Lutnik was you have an email with me asking

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: Jeffrey I have the money mail from Howard Lutnick sending

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 4: it to Jeffrey Epstein and his people. Then how do

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: you know about an event an intimate event for you

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: at his offices at Canter fitzgid and been an office skate.

66
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 5: And say to this committee you didn't try to get

67
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 5: money from jeffre Frey Epstein and there was an intimate

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 5: So I.

69
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Didn't really hear much of that. I couldn't really understand

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: any of it, but.

71
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 6: I loved it.

72
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: I gotta say I loved it. I'll start with you.

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Let me start with you, George this time. What were

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Hillary's testimony there? We have a lot

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: more coming, but go ahead on this one.

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 7: Look, I mean this is a This has been her

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 7: mer modus operandi for years, regarding her relationship with Jeffrey

79
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 7: Epstein and various other unsavory and corrupt characters. To fleck,

80
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 7: to fleck, deflect and put the attention on third parties

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 7: and people that had nothing to do with the current situation.

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 7: We've seen this from Benghazi to seeing it continues on

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 7: and on. This fiasco finally reached this culmination which the

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 7: cup with the GOP actually holding her in a deposition,

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 7: and it really achieved nothing more than more deflection. And unfortunately,

86
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 7: due to that infamous picture situation, she stormed out of

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 7: the room. We didn't get the answers that we expected,

88
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 7: and unfortunately, it looks like this situation is now going

89
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 7: to be thrown underneath a dust bit of history unless

90
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 7: the Republicans continue to turn up the heat, which we

91
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 7: don't know if they will or not.

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's do this one. Let's Joe, you take

93
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: this one. Hillary is asked if she was concerned that

94
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: her hobby president at the time, Bill Clinton, or maybe

95
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: it was just after being president, was getting massaged by

96
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: very young women.

97
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: Watch when you saw your husband in these photos of

98
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 5: the young women being massaged.

99
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: What went through your mind?

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: I am not going to speculate after you learned that

101
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sex crime, sex crimes of kids,

102
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 5: any of these photos of her husband with women being

103
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: massaged on the beach that concern you.

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: I have no I no context for even answering that question.

105
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: And I think you know obviously the innuendo.

106
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 4: All the rest of it.

107
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 5: I'm asking in black and white question. I'm not putting

108
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 5: any leading statements into it or adjectives. Did you do

109
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 5: anything determine what was happening in those images or on

110
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 5: those trips that once she saw these photos, once she

111
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 5: realized Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender of children,

112
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 5: did you do anything to determine what was happening on

113
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: these trips with your husband.

114
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't find any of your questions to be relevant

115
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: to the investigation.

116
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 5: And if a former president was traveling around with young women,

117
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 5: well you'll.

118
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 6: Have a chance.

119
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: You'll have a chance to talk to him tomorrow.

120
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, were we expecting anything more than what we

121
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: got from Hillary there, Joe, No.

122
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 8: Of course, not for varication. She's a liar, she's but

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 8: most important, she's arrogant, totally arrogant, and she's very very

124
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 8: good at handling the committee, at deflecting questions. She's superb.

125
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 8: The all that the justice system had a chance to

126
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 8: deal with her when she destroyed subpoena records and it

127
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 8: didn't deal with her. They had a chance to deal

128
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,559
Speaker 8: with her when her Clinton Foundation was shaking down foreign

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 8: governments and corporations, when her husband was traveling overseas while

130
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 8: she was Secretary of State, raised in getting paid five

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 8: hundred thousand dollars per speech, and nary a whimper from

132
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 8: the Barack Obama administration, which found itself which called itself

133
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 8: so elegant with regard to ethics. Look, the Clintons are

134
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 8: sleeves balls. This I'll say about Bill, Bill in his

135
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 8: frail days, is still charming. He's obviously out of breath,

136
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 8: he can barely function, looks like he's in deep trouble.

137
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 8: His hands are shaking. It's the onset of something very

138
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 8: sad to see.

139
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 6: You know.

140
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 8: You know, if you had to choose, obviously you'd want

141
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 8: to spend time with him and not.

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 6: Her, No questioning by right.

143
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Listen, gentlemen, to Bill Clinton's testimony. Epstein visited the White

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: House get the seventeen times between ninety three and ninety

145
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: five seventeen. Bill Clinton says he never knew when Epstein

146
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: was coming or what he was coming about. In fact, wait,

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: hold on, before you hold that, I'm pretty not sure

148
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: we had Alan Dershowitz on here saying that Bill clin

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: didn't even really know Jeffrey Epstein that well certainly made

150
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: a lot of excuses for Brooklyn. Let's let's hear how

151
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Bill answers this.

152
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 8: Do you know what the nature of mister Epstein's visits

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 8: the White House were?

154
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Are you asking what he knew in preparation for today?

155
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: Can you clarify what you are seeking to learn?

156
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 9: First of all, at the time, I had no idea

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 9: who was coming and going. Huge numbers of people come

158
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 9: and go in the White House. A lot of them

159
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 9: come well over once, especially if they're a lobbyist, for example.

160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 9: But I didn't know it was coming, so I certainly

161
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 9: didn't know what he was coming about.

162
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go back to Joe on this only

163
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: because I notice the lawyer jumped in real quick to

164
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: give him a little bit of a hey, by the way,

165
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: talk about what you knew in preparation for tay. He

166
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: was ready to her in the bigger picture, but she

167
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: really drilled him into stick to what this is all

168
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: about right now? Right Joe?

169
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, she she knows she has a talkative client who

170
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 8: enjoys this, actually enjoys this situation unlike other people because

171
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 8: he likes the limelight. But also you can also see

172
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 8: during that in that deposition, how frail he has become,

173
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 8: and I think he had a tough time answering questions

174
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 8: even though he can talk and exchange. I think you're

175
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 8: seeing the decomposition of a once very very interesting individual

176
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 8: into a sad state.

177
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: So let's do this, guys, jump down one because I

178
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: think we just hit this one. Let me with George.

179
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: Bill Binton was asked if he thought Epstein was suicidal?

180
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 8: Watch do you believe that Jeffrey Epstein was suicidal?

181
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 6: Do you know?

182
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 8: Was he ever?

183
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: She's suicidal? You understand, I don't know. I don't know

184
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: what the medical founding was. I think maybe.

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 6: And I got caught.

186
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I've accepted it my own.

187
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 6: I don't know what happened, Miss President. What did you

188
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 6: accept that he killed himself or that he did not?

189
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: And he did? But I don't know, Yes, sir, none

190
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: of us know.

191
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: There, Harkins. Parkins back to it depends what the definition

192
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: of is is when he remember when he's lying about

193
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: that as well? What about George?

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 7: I mean, it just goes to show you that we

195
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 7: didn't get the answers that millions of Americans expected. We

196
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 7: just had a former president in a very fragile state,

197
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 7: demurring and prevaricating and evading important questions and basically saying,

198
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 7: I have no idea what you're talking about, and other

199
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 7: people were responsible for him mensering the White House. I

200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 7: didn't know what he was up to, even though we

201
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 7: saw him in Jakouzies and on Epstein Island one hundred

202
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 7: billion times. So there's no surprise here. But what I

203
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 7: think Congress should really now focus on if this was

204
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 7: the end all of the Epstein deposition, Ben Gauzi, Russia Gate,

205
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 7: Clinton Foundation corruption, these are all issues which we really

206
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 7: don't have conclusions on, and so many people have been

207
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 7: expecting answers to those scandals as well as this. So

208
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 7: if this is a be all and all of the

209
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 7: Epstein situation, we have to go back and find out

210
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 7: how corrupt and how involved the Clinton's Bill and Hillary

211
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 7: were in those other scandals.

212
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: To her, yeah, no doubt, no question about that. Just

213
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: laying Gallaine Maxwell, was it their daughter Chelsea Clinton's wedding?

214
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton was asked how many times did Maxwell visit

215
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: the Clinton home? Watch?

216
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 10: Okay, how many times did Dylane Maxwell visit.

217
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: Your home in chapel Claw. I have no idea who

218
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 3: invited her? Well, I don't know. I don't know how

219
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: she may have been miss President Betsy.

220
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 10: Okay, Hillary had political events there. Okay, So is it

221
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 10: in your is it to your knowledge? Was that was

222
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 10: she at your home in Chappaqua? Likely because your wife

223
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 10: had over per senate events. That's what you testified earlier today. Correct,

224
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 10: it's not what you testified. But please ask them question.

225
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate that I do not know, but

226
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: if you are implying the reverse, I will volunteer something.

227
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: She was never in my house in chappel Claw for

228
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: any personal reasons.

229
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 7: I didn't.

230
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: I didn't.

231
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: I didn't say anything for anything you didn't.

232
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: But you have a great tone in your voice, and

233
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: thank you. I'll take that as a compliment.

234
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: I boy, Joe, I am seeing witnesses get coached like

235
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: that by lawyers in quite a long time.

236
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 8: And David David Kendall, David Kendall was having a great

237
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 8: time telling the president what to say and what not

238
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 8: to say along with the other woman there. Uh, you know,

239
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 8: this is just classic stuff. I never expected much to

240
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 8: come of this because because the Clintons are what they

241
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 8: are and congressional committees are what they are, and the

242
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 8: fact is, this is a. This is a useless exercise

243
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 8: when you have to liars like the Clintons.

244
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, Joe, and it is useless. But

245
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: guess what, everything they're doing in DC has been useless

246
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: for decades upon decades. Very quickly, one thought, each will

247
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: we ever see a purp walk? Certainly, you know, locker

248
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: up Hillary Clinton. I don't think we need to see

249
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: anyone locked up, quick thought George, and then Joe.

250
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 7: Well, Eric, this is certainly one of the key pillars

251
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 7: of making America great. In the America first movement of

252
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 7: what really got President Trump elected, I would argue three

253
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,359
Speaker 7: different times, and that is holding these corrupt figures accountable.

254
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 7: So this is something that's absolutely critical, and there are

255
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 7: ongoing criminal investigations led by the DOJ and the US

256
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 7: Attorney's Office in DC that we really need to start

257
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 7: having some answers or some progress reports on, because while

258
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 7: the war in Iran has really taken all the air

259
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 7: out of these conversations, this is what the American people

260
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 7: really voted on in terms of the why President Trump

261
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 7: is there, the economy, the border. So we really need

262
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 7: to reprioritize what President Trump got elected for and starting

263
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 7: with these investigations would go a long way and.

264
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: Doing that very quickly. Joe, your final thought, We'll we

265
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: see a purp walk anywhere.

266
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 8: No, you're not going to see any purp walks involving

267
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 8: these people. And again, the Clinton Foundation when she was

268
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 8: Secretary of State was the gold mine. That's where you

269
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 8: got the corruption, the kickbacks, the pay to play, and

270
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 8: the government passed on it. And shame on the Justice Department.

271
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 8: And you know, it's just too bad. You're not going

272
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 8: to get anything now it's over.

273
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: It's too bad. It's a shame. It's a big show.

274
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: We're all the audience and they're all the clowns on stage,

275
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: and I'm talking both sides of the aisle. Folks. George Popinoppolos,

276
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: hosts of Global View and Joe Degenniva, Formio's attorney for

277
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: d C and founding partner of the General and Toonsen,

00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: All righty, folks, let me tell you something interesting happening

281
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: right now. My new show The Edge, the Non Political Zone,

282
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: where we talk about performance, money, health, pressure and winning

283
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: growing in a way that's surprised even me. In just

284
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: a few months five and a half months, channels crossed

285
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: one in six million views. By the way, twelve thousand subscribers.

286
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: But the stat that really matters right there in the middle,

287
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: sixty thousand hours of watch time. That means tens of

288
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: thousands of people are actually sitting down and watching the conversations,

289
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:17,480

292
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,040

Speaker 1: group that's growing huge. We'll be back to and a

302
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: half minutes.

303
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 6: Wo well.

304
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Up ninety dollars in ounce today. Think about this. In

305
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty thousand dollars equaled roughly thirty three ounces

306
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: of gold at spot prices. At today's spot price, those

307
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: same thirty three ounces would be worth about one hundred

308
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: and sixty five thousand dollars, almost enough to buy a house.

309
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Smart Americans diversify a portion of their savings into precious metals,

310
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: and that's why you need to consider buying gold from

311
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: my friends at Birch Gold Group. For thousands of years,

312
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: gold has been a store of value of wealth, and

313
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: today it's a crucial part of any balanced strategy. Even better,

Speaker 1: nine eight nine eight toy. Not surprising there's so much

326
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: fraud going going on in Minnesota. Here's State Rep from Minnesota,

327
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: Dave Pinto, who's essentially saying that there are benefits to

328
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: shoplifting and retail theft, you know, because that's just how

329
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: some people get stuff. Apparently Dave thinks it's just fine

330
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: to rob businesses and by the way, that drives up

331
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: the cost for the honest people like you and me

332
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: out there watch severy lesson.

333
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 12: On the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was a presentation

334
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 12: of a group seeking to change how we address organize

335
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 12: retail theft. And it actually had not occurred to me

336
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 12: to ask it probably would have been good to make

337
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 12: sure that they would study sort of the benefit of

338
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 12: shoplifting and of retail theft, because perhaps people are relying

339
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 12: on that and sort of using that. Maybe it's you know,

340
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 12: assisting them in some way.

341
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: Oh, got it, got it, got it? Oh yeah, here

342
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: we see what's in that corner right there. Trump to speak,

343
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to go further. It is four o'clock, folks,

344
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: and we do know the President of the United States

345
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: loves this hour. Let's go to President Trump. Is he

346
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: ready to go?

347
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 6: Let's do it.

348
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 13: Thank you very much, everybody, please, This is a very

349
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 13: important meeting. A lot of important meetings today, but this

350
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 13: is a big one because this is really the future

351
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 13: of I think beyond college sports.

352
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 6: This is the future of colleges.

353
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 13: Because we're looking at numbers that are coming in and

354
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 13: the amount of money being spent and lost by otherwise

355
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 13: very successful schools is astounding just in a short.

356
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 6: Period of time. It's only going to get worse. So

357
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: we have to.

358
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 13: Save college sports and save I believe colleges. We have

359
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 13: to save our Olympic team because so many sports that

360
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 13: are in the Olympics will no longer be represented by

361
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 13: people that went through college and became competitive, became great

362
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 13: at the sport. We won't be anywhere near what we were.

363
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 13: I think it's just a very very important meeting. We

364
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 13: have the most important people in college sports and really

365
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 13: beyond beyond. And what I'd like to do is I'll

366
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 13: say a few words. I'm going to ask the Marco

367
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 13: and a few to also say a few words, and

368
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 13: I'd like to take your suggestions. And we have the speaker.

369
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 13: We have John Thune I is here or represented. We

370
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 13: have some of the big politicians, Senators, Congress people, people

371
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 13: that can make it get approved because we ultimately we

372
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 13: have to go through I guess we have to go

373
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 13: through do an executive order. I'd love to do that.

374
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 13: I'll probably do it anyway. We'll do an executive order.

375
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 13: We'll see how it works, because it would be a

376
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,239
Speaker 13: really nice I have a really nice, simple idea. But

377
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 13: we'll go through through this process and maybe I think

378
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 13: we'll get it through Congress. We have a good chance.

379
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 13: I think it'll be very bipartisan. And I just want

380
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 13: to thank you all for being here as we stand

381
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 13: up for one of America's greatest and most beloved institutions.

382
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 13: It's called college athletics, which is true, means so much.

383
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 13: I want to thank Secretaris Marco Rubio, Scott Besson, Doug Bergham,

384
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 13: Howard Lutnick, Linda McMahon for being here, and also Speaker

385
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 13: of the House Mike Johnson doing a great job. Governor

386
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 13: Ron DeSantis, Senators Ted Cruz, Eric Schmidt, Leader Steve Scalise,

387
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 13: Representatives Lisa McLain, Jim Jordan, Brett Guthrie, and Lori Trahan

388
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 13: thank you all for being here. We have some great people. Conder, Lisa,

389
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 13: thank you very much. I see you over there. Great

390
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 13: to have you, great to be with you.

391
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 6: Very special.

392
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 13: Welcome to New York Yankees President Randy Levine, friend of

393
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 13: mine for a long time. I used to sit with

394
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 13: George Steinburn in the box. It was one of the

395
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 13: most difficult days of my life. I would always be

396
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 13: like he liked me. I liked him, but we both

397
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 13: liked very few other people. And we had a good

398
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 13: time and we won a lot of a lot of games.

399
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 6: Right, Randy, we never lost.

400
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 13: Sexy and a great champion of college athletics formers. I

401
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 13: just said, Secretary of State, a woman who's really respected,

402
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 13: Condaliza Rice, thank you very much again, Condelisa and Rohnda

403
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 13: Santis has been working very hard with us and wherever

404
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 13: you may be, Ron Hi Ron and Uh has some

405
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 13: great ideas and some great coaches that gave him some

406
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 13: great ideas. Were gathered today to discuss an important threat

407
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 13: to the integrity and culture of college sports. The inability

408
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 13: to set rules or eligibility transfers name, image, and likeness,

409
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 13: and more much more than that. In the face of

410
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 13: endless lawsuits, and it's what's going on with the legal

411
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 13: community is incredible. We had a lawsuit a couple of

412
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 13: years ago by a radical left judge from California who decided,

413
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 13: knowing nothing about football or college sports, that everything was

414
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 13: illegal that was taking place.

415
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 6: And I don't think it was ever appealed. Nobody can

416
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 6: find out if it was appealed or not. But you

417
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 6: can win an appeal.

418
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 13: I think I win more cases on appeal that I

419
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 13: do in front of some judges that are not very good.

420
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 6: But it was a horrible, incredible ruling.

421
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 13: And it through the sports world and the athletic college

422
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 13: athletic world into Tithers and that's where we are right now.

423
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 6: It's crazy things are happening.

424
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 13: Young people are being signed seventeen year old quarterbacks for

425
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 13: twelve million dollars, thirteen million, fourteen million. We have a

426
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 13: seven year freshman, you know, we have people, We're seeing

427
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 13: things that we've never seen before. We have college players

428
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 13: that don't want to go to the NFL because they're

429
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 13: making more money in college right Jim Jordan and a

430
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 13: lot of really bad things are happening.

431
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 6: But basic questions like who.

432
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 13: Is eligible to play are now virtually unregulated and decided

433
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 13: randomly by judges rather than by reasonable agreed upon rules

434
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 13: that could be very simple and very simply drawn.

435
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 6: So this has grown into a major challenge.

436
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 13: We actually have some of the best sports agents here

437
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 13: because I think they'd like to see it solved.

438
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 6: But maybe not.

439
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 13: I'm not a hundred percent sure about that, but they

440
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 13: are represented. We have everybody represented today, just about every group.

441
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 6: You can think of.

442
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 13: But it's grown into a major challenge that threatens the

443
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 13: future of college sports and really colleges themselves because many

444
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 13: are going to go many are going to go down

445
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 13: the tubes. It was announced at Penn State their athletic

446
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 13: division loss five hundred and thirty five million.

447
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 6: Dollars this last year.

448
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 13: Florida State, Ron and I spoke about it, four hundred

449
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 13: and forty million dollar loss. It was just announced that

450
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 13: Rutgers lost ninety five million dollars, and they're doing all

451
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 13: sorts of things to try and save.

452
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 6: The ship.

453
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 13: And I think those numbers are nothing compared to what's.

454
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 6: Going to happen. This is new, This just happened.

455
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 13: Those numbers are going to go to levels that nobody's

456
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 13: ever seen before.

457
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 6: If you had no salary cap in the NFL.

458
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 13: You ss staggering losses.

459
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 6: We have no.

460
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 13: Salary cap in college as colleges are going to have

461
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 13: unless something's done, Unless we solve this problem, and I

462
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 13: think probably today, and we're going to ask for ideas

463
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 13: that you know, not that we don't have to take.

464
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 13: We don't have to take months. We'd like to see

465
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 13: if we could do it for next season. But we

466
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 13: have and we certainly have the brain power. We have

467
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 13: tremendous knowledge, far more knowledge than I have about the subject.

468
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 13: But it also poses special dangers for women's sports and

469
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 13: our Olympic pipeline. Women's sports are being canceled all over

470
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 13: the country. Just so we understand, women's sports are in

471
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 13: deep trouble. Other than one particular women's team. That's Miami,

472
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 13: where I have my granddaughter, and the team. They canceled

473
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 13: men's golf, but women's golf is doing just fine.

474
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 6: I'm only kidding. I'm only kidding.

475
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 13: But they are canceling golf, they're canceling wrestling, they're canceling fencing,

476
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 13: they're canceling even basketball. I thought that would be maybe immune,

477
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 13: but it's in trouble and it's all going to football.

478
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 13: But ultimately football is going to be.

479
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 6: The worst laggard of all.

480
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 13: It's not going to be affordable, and it's going to

481
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 13: take down practically every college, my opinion, is going to

482
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 13: take down virtually every college or every college that wants

483
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 13: to be they think they want to be competitive. Under

484
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 13: the current system, educational institutions find themselves in a financial

485
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 13: arms race for athletes and sports like football and basketball,

486
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 13: and both I mean both of them, but basketball is

487
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 13: being hurt very badly.

488
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 6: It's really it's being dominated by football.

489
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 13: Last July, I signed an executive order to stop destructive

490
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 13: play pay for play schemes that are all over the

491
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 13: place and keep college athletics rooted in the traditions that

492
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 13: made it great.

493
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 6: Either we had a great system.

494
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 13: Frankly, I thought we had a system that should have

495
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 13: been appealed and it could have been maybe perfected a

496
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 13: little bit, But it took close to one hundred years.

497
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 13: It was developed over one hundred years, and one judge

498
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 13: that knew nothing about sports, knew nothing about football, knew

499
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 13: nothing about Olympics, do nothing about anything, just decided everything

500
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 13: was unconstitutional.

501
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 6: It's crazy, but only.

502
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 13: Congress now it looks like can deliver a permanent fix.

503
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 6: So Speaker of you and John and.

504
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 13: Everybody else, including Democrats that are represented very strongly, we

505
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 13: can hopefully get it done. Federal legislation must allow college

506
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 13: athletic programs to set common sense rules, simple common sense

507
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 13: rules without endless litigation, and established a fair name image.

508
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 13: And like this standard that eliminates the patchwork of conflicting

509
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 13: state laws.

510
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 6: That's the other problem.

511
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 13: All of these colleges, they're all in different states, and

512
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 13: all the laws are different, laws that are totally different,

513
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 13: some one way, some an entirely different way. While allowing

514
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 13: the full spectrum of college athletic programs to thrive, it

515
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 13: should thrive.

516
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 6: If Congress does.

517
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 13: Not take action fast, it could destroy college sports and

518
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 13: destroy the colleges that play these sports. They'll be destroyed,

519
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 13: They'll be going bankrupts, everyone, so many of them. No

520
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 13: other nation in the world has built a system that

521
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 13: develops champions in classrooms and on the field, producing Olympic heroes,

522
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 13: professional legends, and the leaders of tomorrow.

523
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 6: All at once.

524
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 13: I thought the system of scholarships was great. What do

525
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 13: I know, but I thought it was great, and just

526
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 13: one of those things I was with Nick Saban the

527
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 13: other day, and you know, his timing is exquisite. He

528
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 13: played any won and one on one and when he

529
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 13: saw this thing, he said, I'm going to get out of it.

530
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 13: I'm not doing this anyway. He's around here some place

531
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 13: where Where's Nick? Where are you Nick?

532
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 6: Right now?

533
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 13: He doesn't admit this. I said, how come you left?

534
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 13: Just he didn't want to go through one season? Because

535
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 13: there's no better minded this than that man. And he

536
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 13: looked and he said, what a shame, what a shame.

537
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 13: And he's going to speak about it. And I think

538
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 13: you have some very constructive ideas, Nick, I think so

539
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 13: no other nation in the world has built a system

540
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 13: like this is so good.

541
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 6: And we've thrown it right out the window.

542
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 13: And I'd like to see you go back to something

543
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 13: maybe resembling that, and maybe maybe pay for each player,

544
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 13: not such crazy pay, but just pay for each player,

545
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 13: with every player, maybe the quarterback and the third string

546
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 13: lineman making the same.

547
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 6: But you're going to tell us about it. We're going

548
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 6: to try and get it past.

549
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 13: Our goal is not to go back to the days

550
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 13: where student athletes were never allowed to receive any competency.

551
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 13: Although not the worst idea but I think a lot

552
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 13: of people would overrule me on that. But we must

553
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 13: pass reforms that protect the Cherish American tradition of college

554
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 13: athletics for future generations.

555
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 6: So I look forward to hearing from a.

556
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 13: Lot of you, and I think a few of you

557
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 13: are going to say a few words, and then we'll

558
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 13: get to some ideas and I don't know, maybe by

559
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 13: the end of a long session if we need it.

560
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 13: I'm here as long as you need me. They came

561
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 13: to me, they said you're the only one they can

562
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 13: do it. I said, oh, thank you very much. I say, said, really,

563
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 13: because I'm president. Okay, to be honest, but we have

564
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 13: certain abilities and we'll see if we can get it done.

565
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 13: So I'll ask in this order, Marco, you'll say a

566
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 13: few words, and then Speaker Johnson, Randy Levine, Nick Saban,

567
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 13: Charlie Baker, the Governor, Rond de Santis, and Greg san Key,

568
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 13: Sarah Heirschland, and Pete Pavaqua, and they'll go pretty quickly,

569
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 13: and then we'll hear from some of the people that

570
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 13: we may have something come up that's somewhat of a miracle.

571
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 13: There's an idea out there and somehow it's going to

572
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 13: have to be arrived at because there's no way this

573
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 13: system will allow colleges to, in my opinion, will allow

574
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 13: schools to live financially.

575
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 6: It's not going to happen.

576
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 13: So if I could, I'll ask Marco you can start,

577
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 13: and then speaker, and then we'll go through the list,

578
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 13: and then we'll take some ideas or questions. All right,

579
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 13: thank you very much, Marco.

580
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 6: Thank you, mister President. And I'll be very brief.

581
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 14: The first is I think you've already touched on, and

582
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 14: that is what a unique institution college athletics is to

583
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 14: the United States. Very few countries in the world actually

584
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 14: have something like what we have. And it's not just unique,

585
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 14: it's really important. A lot of people don't see some

586
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 14: of the aspects of it that are so positive. The

587
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 14: first is this student athlete experience. There are literally thousands

588
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 14: and thousands of young Americans who are going to graduate

589
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 14: this year with not just degrees, but advanced degrees, and

590
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 14: athletics made that possible. And the athletic support and the

591
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 14: academic support that they're receiving from these schools is extraordinary.

592
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 14: So there are kids that literally would not have gone

593
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 14: to college or may not have considered it, and certainly

594
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 14: not the advanced degrees without.

595
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 6: The help that this provides.

596
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 14: Also the development of the individual that student athletics provides.

597
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 14: I mean, look, if you can show up at six

598
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 14: am in the morning every day for a lift, you're

599
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 14: learning one of the most important lessons in life. Ninety

600
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 14: five percent of life is showing up where you're supposed

601
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 14: to be on time. These are extraordinary lessons that people

602
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 14: are gaining. Two more things that people don't think about unity.

603
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 14: Few things in America unify us anymore, and one of

604
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 14: the things that does is college athletics in particular. I

605
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 14: can just the experience of a Saturday and I was

606
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 14: about to say a Saturday in the South, but I

607
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 14: don't want to discriminate against the other conferences. I'm sure

608
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 14: it's true there too, where communities get together, they don't

609
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 14: agree on anything else except that they want that home

610
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 14: team on the field to win. And it's one of

611
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 14: the few unifying experiences we have as a country. And

612
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 14: it's so critical. And the last you touched on as well,

613
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 14: mister President, this is the feeder program for our Olympic teams.

614
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 14: Without it, there is no feeder program. Other countries have

615
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 14: structured it differently, but the way we have it in

616
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 14: our country is so unique in that way know the

617
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 14: challenges and what this system now needs is a system

618
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 14: of rules and regulations of guardrails so that everyone is

619
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 14: operating under the same rules. And it's difficult to do

620
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 14: because it's moving very fast. But you've got the right

621
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 14: people in the room here, mister President, and the right leadership.

622
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 14: So thank you for caring about this because it truly

623
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 14: is important for the country and for millions of Americans

624
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 14: who are fans and thousands and thousands of families who

625
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 14: have student athletes in their family who have experienced the system,

626
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 14: who are going through it now.

627
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: So thank you.

628
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 13: And Marco has a conflict of interest that he didn't reveal,

629
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 13: which is a very serious charge, could be a criminal

630
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 13: charge actually, because.

631
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 6: His son is a very good player for a very good.

632
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 13: College and makes money with nil So there's a serious

633
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 13: conflict of interest.

634
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 6: But well we'll take him. We waive his conflict. Please,

635
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 6: thank you, miss Presidents.

636
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 15: And an honor to be here with so many of

637
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 15: the all time greats. It's a treat for us members

638
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 15: of Congress. There's many of them around the table, and

639
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 15: they're happy to be working on the issue with you

640
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 15: and for you. I would say people often say that

641
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 15: speaker of the houses stressful job in the world. Then

642
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 15: I think of SEC football coaches because they got to

643
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 15: win every Saturday night, and my friends who are in

644
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 15: those positions I have a lot of sympathy for. I

645
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 15: want to commend President Trump for his extraordinary leadership. And

646
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 15: he leads on this important and complex issue as he

647
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 15: does all others. He sees a problem, he wants us

648
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 15: to solve it, and he assembles the right people to

649
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 15: get that done. And I think he really is the

650
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 15: only figure on the planet who could do that. So

651
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 15: I thank you for that, miss President. Getting everybody together.

652
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 15: One more issue that we'll tackle. I'm a double alum

653
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 15: from LSU undergrad in law school, so I bleed purple

654
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 15: and gold, and we talk a lot about college athletics

655
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 15: down where I'm from. It's a big thing, but the

656
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 15: whole country cares deeply about it because it's part of Americana,

657
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 15: as Marco was saying, it's part of who we are

658
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 15: as a country, and it's so important, and we have

659
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 15: to navigate through these unprecedented waters together. I'm glad there's

660
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,239
Speaker 15: some really smart people who are working on that.

661
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Miss President.

662
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 15: Congress does need to act quickly because it's getting out

663
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 15: of hand, and I think everybody here recognizes that. I

664
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 15: want you to know the House has been working very

665
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 15: deliberately and I think very effectively on this. We've done

666
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 15: a lot of good work and many of you are

667
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 15: familiar with the Score Act. We passed an important procedural

668
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 15: hurdle in December. We're right on the verge of passage

669
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 15: in the House and we now think we have the

670
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 15: votes to do that. But that's why this meeting is

671
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 15: so timely, because we don't want to have the conversation

672
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 15: today and in the days that follow, because we want

673
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 15: to make sure that we get it right. It's a

674
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 15: bipartisan product. It has brought support in the House. We

675
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 15: believe we'll have every Republican now and we have a

676
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 15: double digit support of at least Democrats. It is bipartisan.

677
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 15: A lot of good works going into that to get

678
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 15: it there, and we think it may be the vehicle

679
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 15: to get us to the next phase of this and

680
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 15: this essential conversation. But the next step is preparing that

681
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 15: legislation for final passage. So was talking with Randy and

682
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 15: many of you who are leading on this. This is

683
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 15: a very important and timely conversation that we'll have today

684
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 15: and I said in the days that follow, we're encouraged

685
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 15: to see all of you, the experts who know this

686
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 15: issue better than anybody in the country, willing to put

687
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 15: your time and effort into it and provide feedback because

688
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 15: we want the final product to be the best it

689
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 15: can be. We want to accomplish the necessary ends, and

690
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 15: we think we're very close. Everybody here wants to see

691
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 15: this American institution succeed, and we have that opportunity within

692
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 15: our grasp, and we want to make sure that the

693
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 15: solution we develop actually works for student athletes, who are

694
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 15: at the heart of this and that's who we care

695
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 15: about so much. And we know that the foundation of

696
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 15: any good deal begins with getting the right people in

697
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 15: the right room. And this is the right room. And

698
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 15: this is historic and no one knows better than the

699
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 15: man who literally wrote the book on it, and that's

700
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 15: President Trump. And so I want to thank you for

701
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 15: assembling us, mister President, and we look forward to the discussion.

702
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: Ye'll back.

703
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 16: Thank you, Mike, Thank you, mister President, Thank you, mister

704
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 16: President for putting this group together. Leading up to this,

705
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 16: wherever I would go because I had an interest in this,

706
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 16: both professionally with the Yankees have done and my experience

707
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 16: on board of the rect There's a various colleges. Everybody

708
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 16: would say over and over again, this thing is failing bad,

709
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 16: and it's like on a hamster on a wheel. It

710
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 16: kept spinning on the wheel but never getting off. Was

711
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 16: never done. And they told me, please talk to the

712
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 16: President because he's the only person who will convene a

713
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 16: group like this in order to reach a consensus to

714
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 16: get it done. And he agreed to do it, but

715
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 16: he said to me, if I'm going to do it,

716
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 16: it has to be bipartisan. And he asked me and

717
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 16: the Speaker and everybody else to make sure it is bipartisan.

718
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 6: And it is.

719
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 16: We have people from both parties here and that's what

720
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 16: has to happen. So we put this group together. Why

721
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 16: do we put this group together because it's representative of

722
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 16: the people who know the best on how to solve

723
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 16: this issue. We have college presidents who've been living with

724
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 16: this from all over the country. We have some of

725
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 16: the finest athletic directors who have been pioneers in this area.

726
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 16: We have professional sports executives. Why do we have them

727
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 16: in the room. The answer is, as commissioned a silver

728
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 16: would tell you, or all of Famerlula Morello, these issues

729
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 16: have been in professional sports for a long time. We

730
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 16: have a lot of experience. I negotiated the first revenue

731
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 16: sharing agreement in baseball, Caps, revenue sharing distribution, all of

732
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 16: those things of what we live with every single day.

733
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 16: So maybe we can share our experience and transport it

734
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 16: here as long as it's in the context of college sports.

735
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 6: There's one group.

736
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 16: That is missing, but they won't be missing from the

737
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 16: final product, and that's the student athletes themselves.

738
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 6: This group.

739
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 16: As we move on, you can be assured we'll be

740
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 16: talking to the student athletes and all their representatives to

741
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 16: make sure or their voices is clearly heard. You know,

742
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 16: time is of the essence. People have told me they've

743
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 16: been to Congress fifteen, sixteen, seventeen times. One group goes in,

744
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 16: the other group goes in, and nothing seems to get done.

745
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 16: Time is of the essence. Besides the numbers the President

746
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 16: talked about. I heard a story from one of the

747
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 16: great professional athletes on the Yankees one of our great

748
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 16: players yesterday and he went to a great university and

749
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 16: he said to me, thank you for doing this, because

750
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 16: every day I got to ask for more money for

751
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 16: nils every single day. And what happened is I gave

752
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 16: money for an nil for a quarterback who left the

753
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 16: next year. Meanwhile, a friend of mine, a friend of mine,

754
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 16: daughter is on the rowing team and she lost her

755
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 16: scholarship and she's an Olympic hopeful and now she has

756
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 16: to pay her own way. That's just not right. It's

757
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 16: really not right, and it has to be fixed. So,

758
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 16: mister President, thank you for bringing this group together. I

759
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 16: think they're really just for discussion. We'll hear from everybody.

760
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 16: I think they're really two things to add on to

761
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 16: what the speaker said that have to be done. One,

762
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 16: there has to be an anti trust exemption because everyone

763
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 16: in the room has to be able to talk to

764
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 16: each other all the conferences, the schools, the presidents, everybody.

765
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 6: Without getting sued. That includes the kids.

766
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 16: They have to be involved in these negotiations, the student athletes.

767
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 16: And there has to be an entity that's set up

768
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 16: by the people who are going to administer this run

769
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 16: this that are empowered by the legislation to handle all

770
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 16: the issues the President spoke about, and we're all here

771
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 16: to support that, to help that and to make sure

772
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 16: that it's just not business as usual. Just an idea

773
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 16: I have is maybe that an anti trust exemption lasts

774
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 16: for two years to make sure that these rules and

775
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 16: everything are really being enforced, and if they're not, we

776
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 16: go back to square one and we'll give the Congress oversight,

777
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 16: give the President oversight. But it's time to move and

778
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 16: mister President, I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks to

779
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 16: your leadership, we got to move this really really fast.

780
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 16: We have ESPN and Fox here, they're probably the biggest

781
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,959
Speaker 16: payers in this entire thing, and the fact that they're

782
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 16: here and their voices heard is great. So, mister President,

783
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 16: only you could pull us off, and we're grateful. Thank

784
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 16: you very much.

785
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 6: Thank you very much, Randy and Nick Saban Please.

786
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 11: Thank you, mister President, for the chance and the opportunity

787
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 11: to be here to speak with you today. But I

788
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 11: just want everybody to know that I'm just a football coach.

789
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 11: I spent my life when they when we had the ball,

790
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 11: trying to get a first down, when they had the ball,

791
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 11: trying to get off the field on third down. So

792
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 11: this is an unlikely position for me to be in

793
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 11: to speak to such a distinguished group of people. Thank you,

794
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 11: But I come here today with a question, what are

795
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 11: the guiding principles for the future of college athletics? All athletics.

796
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 11: I'm talking about football, basketball, Olympic sports, revenue, non revenue,

797
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 11: it doesn't matter. You know, My goal as a coach

798
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 11: for my players, for our players was to help them

799
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 11: be more successful in life. That we would create an

800
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 11: atmosphere and environment that would help them through personal development,

801
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 11: academic support six hundred and sixty eight degrees in seventeen

802
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 11: years at Alabama, and help them develop a career as

803
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 11: a football player. That was our goal, so that they

804
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 11: were creating value in life and we were preparing them

805
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 11: for their future past athletics. So what happened, you know,

806
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 11: in this current system that we have that became impossible

807
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 11: to do because people, instead of making decisions about creating

808
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 11: value for their future, they were making decisions about how

809
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 11: much money could they make at whichever school they could

810
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 11: go to or transfer to. So I think we have

811
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 11: a challenge here today about the ramifications of this current

812
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 11: system on how it helps players be successful in their future,

813
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 11: and how we can impact and create a system that

814
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 11: will help and preserve the opportunity for student athletes to

815
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 11: be able to have success in their future beyond athletics.

816
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 11: So we need to develop an effective system of revenue sharing,

817
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 11: authentic name, image and likeness, authentic being you have marketing value,

818
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 11: which now we have collectives which just create opportunities, which

819
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 11: has become pay for play eligibility issues where we have

820
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 11: guys playing six, seven and eight years, so you have

821
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 11: twenty five and twenty six year old people playing against

822
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 11: eighteen and nineteen year olds, which is not healthy transfer rules,

823
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 11: we have over four thousand people in the portal. Fans

824
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 11: don't like it, support groups don't like it. It's not

825
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 11: really healthy for players and graduation. To transfer several times

826
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 11: in your career, you really put yourself in a pickle

827
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 11: in terms of your ability to graduate. So I think

828
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 11: we need to come up with a system, and we

829
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 11: obviously have to do it with the president's leadership and

830
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 11: also with Congress probably whether it's anti trust legislation or

831
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 11: whatever it is, to allow student athletes in all sports,

832
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 11: including women's and Olympic sports, to enhance their quality of

833
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 11: life while going to college, but still provide opportunity to

834
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 11: advance themselves beyond their athletic career, which is what the

835
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 11: philosophy of college athletics and getting a college education has

836
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 11: always been about. And how much does anybody talk about

837
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 11: getting an education anymore? Nobody talks about it at all,

838
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 11: which is the most important thing any of these student

839
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 11: athletes can do in terms of enhancing their future. So

840
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 11: thank you very much, thank.

841
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 6: You very much, Nicka, Charlie Baker.

842
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 17: Well, thank you very much, missus President. I especially want

843
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 17: to thank you for putting me in the lineup after

844
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 17: the most legendary college football coach of all time. And

845
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 17: I really want to thank you for your interest in

846
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 17: this issue and your commitment to it. And I also

847
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 17: want to thank you for the work that your administration

848
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 17: has done in a number of different issues, working with

849
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 17: our team and with many members of the folks who

850
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 17: are in this room today. You know, today there are

851
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 17: more kids playing college sports than at any time in

852
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 17: our nation's history. There's five hundred and fifty six thousand

853
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 17: student athletes across all three divisions playing on behalf of

854
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 17: eleven hundred schools, and those eleven hundred schools are second

855
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 17: only to the United States of America in terms of

856
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 17: the amount of financial assistance they make available to those

857
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 17: student athletes. It's over four billion dollars. That's also the

858
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 17: biggest number we've ever invested as a community in the

859
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 17: student athletes who attend our schools. There is a lot

860
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 17: that is right with college sports. And anybody who watched

861
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 17: the women's Olympic championship game between Canada and the United

862
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 17: States would know that, among other things, all of the

863
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 17: players on both of those teams were former college student athletes,

864
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 17: all forty six of them from both teams that played

865
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 17: in that championship final. Women's sports has grown dramatically. Visibility

866
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 17: of women's sports, the viewership of women's sports, the attendance

867
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 17: of women's sports, the investments in women's sports have all

868
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 17: gone dramatically up over the course of the past ten

869
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 17: years or so. And if you talk to almost anybody

870
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 17: who follows youth sports, they'll tell you that the growth

871
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 17: in youth sports on the women's side continues to be profound.

872
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 17: But that said, everything everybody has said about the challenges

873
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 17: we face at this particular point in time is true,

874
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 17: and I want to give a special thanks to Speaker

875
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 17: John's and into Leader Schoolies for the work that they've done.

876
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 17: You know, to use a sports analogy carrying the ball

877
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 17: on behalf of the score act in the House Chamber.

878
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 17: Over the course of this year. It deals with the

879
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 17: rules issue, it deals with the agent's issue, it deals

880
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 17: with some of the financial issues, it deals with the

881
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 17: equity question, it deals with a wide variety of the

882
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 17: issues that are challenging for so many in the college

883
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 17: sports space these days. And the final thing, I'll just say,

884
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 17: we have I talk to a lot of people who

885
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 17: are connected in one way or another to college sports,

886
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 17: both in this country and around the world, because they

887
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 17: have children who attend college here in the US, and

888
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 17: over and over and over again. The thing I constantly

889
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 17: hear is there's nothing like college sports anywhere else in

890
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 17: the world. And you are so lucky to live in

891
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 17: a country where you have a system that works for

892
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 17: young people the way this one works for young people here.

893
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 17: So I'm deeply grateful for your commitment to this issue.

894
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 17: I'm thrilled by the folks you've managed to put around

895
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 17: this table. I agree with others who said there's probably

896
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 17: nobody else who could do that, and college sports was

897
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 17: a great thing for me and my kids and my

898
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 17: wife and so many that I know a lot of

899
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 17: kids who wouldn't have graduated from high school, much less

900
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 17: gone to and graduated from college if it wasn't for

901
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 17: college sports. It's a truly unique American jewel and we

902
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 17: should do all we possibly can to ensure it's success

903
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 17: for the next generation and the generations after that. So

904
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 17: thank you again for having us all here today.

905
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 6: Thank you, Charlie, and you're doing a great job. Appreciate it. Ron, please, well,

906
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 6: thank you mister President for doing this.

907
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 18: I mean, you have pedaled to the medal on so

908
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 18: many different issues, from national security to border energy, and

909
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 18: you're not taking the pedal off any of that. And

910
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 18: you could be forgiven to say college sports is important,

911
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 18: but you're plates full and you just added it to

912
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 18: all the other things that you're doing. And I thank

913
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 18: you for that because this would not get done without

914
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 18: your leadership. No one else could get this group together,

915
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 18: no one else could work with Congress to be able

916
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 18: to do it, and so I appreciate it because it

917
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 18: is important to a lot of people.

918
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 6: I mean, we know this is out of whack.

919
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 18: We went from a system where you couldn't give a

920
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 18: student athlete anything. They could sell your jersey, you get

921
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 18: nothing to now quarterback throws for three hundred yards and

922
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 18: they go see the coach, Hey, I need more money,

923
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 18: give me more money from the Okay, I'll transfer or

924
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 18: they get money, and I, oh, I don't want to

925
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 18: play in that ball game. Sorry, I'm just going to

926
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 18: sit out. And I think that that's been bad certainly

927
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 18: for college football and college sports. But let's just be clear,

928
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 18: and a lot of the speakers have said, and I

929
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 18: speak from being in the South, the college football is king.

930
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 6: It's not even close.

931
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 18: University of Florida is the reigning NCAA basketball National champion.

932
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 18: The football team I think they won four games. So

933
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 18: guess what are the fans happy being the nc Not really,

934
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 18: they're mad.

935
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 6: Because football didn't do good.

936
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 18: And football has been able to generate so much money

937
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 18: over the years that it subsidized a lot of the

938
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 18: other programs, a lot of these non revenue sports. People

939
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 18: have had more and more opportunities. Well now with the

940
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 18: collectives and how much it's costing football, the costs are

941
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 18: going up dramatically and it is threatening these other sports

942
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 18: and you know, look, yes, being able to produce Olympians.

943
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 18: Being able to do that, I think it's really important.

944
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 18: But ninety nine percent of Division one athletes are not

945
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 18: going to make a living at it, and they're not

946
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 18: going to play in the Olympics. And I speak as somebody,

947
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 18: you know, I was the baseball captain at Yale, Like,

948
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 18: if we had nil there, I probably wasn't going to

949
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 18: get a lucrative nil deal. That's fine, I get it.

950
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 18: But you know what being a college athlete teaches you.

951
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,479
Speaker 18: There's a reason why the Naval Academy and in West Point,

952
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 18: you have to be an athlete when you go through there,

953
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 18: because it teaches you the discipline. It teaches you about

954
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 18: hard work, it teaches you about competitives, it teaches you

955
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 18: how to cope with failure. And so a lot of

956
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 18: the people, the students and these sports that may not

957
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 18: be as glitzy but are going to be harm by

958
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 18: the current trajectory. These are going to be future leaders

959
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 18: of our country and a variety of different endeavors.

960
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 6: And so I'm.

961
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 18: Thankful that this is going to get done under President

962
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 18: Trump's leadership. This is a bipartisan issue. You know, we

963
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 18: are so division on all this different stuff. There is

964
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 18: no partisanship about this. We all want our universities and

965
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 18: the athletics to succeed.

966
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 6: A lot of the.

967
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 18: Speakers have talked about the issues of eligibility. I mean,

968
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 18: how do you have there till you're like twenty five,

969
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 18: eighteen to twenty five and year so playing? How do

970
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 18: you play in the NBA G League and then come

971
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 18: back and play in college? How do you get to transfer?

972
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 18: All these different things. We know those need to be addressed.

973
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 18: And obviously the compensation with NIL. I signed one of

974
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 18: the first NIL bills, but that was like if they're

975
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 18: making money off you, you get now. They're doing like

976
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 18: perpetual negotiations, even more than pro athletes can do. So

977
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 18: I'm confident this is the group to do it, this

978
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 18: is the president to do it, and there's going to

979
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 18: be a lot of people in our country that are

980
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 18: going to be happy when this problem is fixed.

981
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir, Thank you Ron very much, very much,

982
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 6: hy Greg.

983
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 19: Thank you, mister President.

984
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 6: Thank you for convening this group.

985
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 19: And I also think it's important to point out you've

986
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 19: been to Tuscalusi a few times for great football games.

987
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 19: Couple national championships, and I think the power of your

988
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 19: presence around college sports is an important factor in this conversation.

989
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 19: I had a knock on the door of my residence

990
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 19: hall in nineteen eighty three by my baseball coach. I

991
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 19: was a bad catcher at Laterno College. That's why I'm

992
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 19: here today because he taught me some lessons that had

993
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 19: I not been in that situation, I never would have learned.

994
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 19: I've spent two of the last three weeks with our

995
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 19: student athlete leadership councils, and I asked them, what would

996
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 19: you say in a room like this that people need

997
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 19: to hear? And that there are two things that they

998
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 19: wanted me to communicate. One is when I line up

999
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 19: at kickoff, at tip off, or I put my cleats

1000
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 19: in the starting blocks of the track and field meat,

1001
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 19: I want to know the other people and other uniforms

1002
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 19: from other teams and other states and other campuses are

1003
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 19: held to the same standards and the same rules to

1004
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 19: which I am being held. They also want to know

1005
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 19: that they're being supported from a physical and a mental

1006
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 19: well being standpoint. Part of that is their concerns about

1007
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 19: sports gambling and the pressures that are emerging upon them.

1008
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 19: I think the themes that have been communicated here, rather

1009
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 19: than go through my notes, are worth three. Stating this

1010
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 19: is a bipartisan I would argue a nonpartisan issue. This

1011
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 19: is a circumstance where among the four conferences, the ACC,

1012
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 19: Big twelve, Big ten, and SEC, over two point three

1013
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 19: billion dollars was spent in FY twenty four to support

1014
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 19: Olympic sports, and in Paris two hundred and nineteen US

1015
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 19: medalists went through the college sports system, eighty nine of

1016
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 19: those being gold medalists. Sports we move young people from

1017
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 19: adolescents to adulthood through education, through becoming part of a

1018
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 19: community which they otherwise would have not experienced, and the

1019
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 19: opportunity to build a legacy. In the current environment, each

1020
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 19: of those elements is interrupted transferring four or five. I

1021
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 19: have a basketball player in my league in sixth campus

1022
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 19: does not provide educational achievement opportunities like we should demand.

1023
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 19: Being part of a community when you transfer, that much

1024
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 19: doesn't happen, and building a legacy is overrun by the

1025
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 19: next name, image and likeness opportunity. I appreciate what's been

1026
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 19: done in the House and the Score Act Speaker Johnson,

1027
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 19: I once lived in Naketish Louisiana place.

1028
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 6: You represent Scalisi, your work.

1029
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 19: I know Congressman Roy has been part of those conversations

1030
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 19: and others in this room, and it is bipartisan, but

1031
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 19: we need to bring more people in and we have

1032
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 19: work to accomplish in the Senate. We cannot go on

1033
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 19: longer in this circumstance. And this is not about revenue.

1034
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 19: This is about structures and national standards for eligibility, for transfers,

1035
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 19: for medical care and mental wellness care, for transparency and

1036
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 19: accountability around name, image and likeness activity. We'll fracture more

1037
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,439
Speaker 19: if we fail to act. That's why the appreciation, Mister

1038
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 19: President for the gathering is most sincere, because I want

1039
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 19: to see our women's sports thrive in the Southeastern Conference.

1040
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 19: We currently have ten national championships, two thirds of those

1041
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 19: are on women's sports. We didn't achieve that mountaintop in

1042
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 19: football this year. We'll keep working on that.

1043
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 6: We want our.

1044
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 19: Olympians to go through our pools, in our track and fields,

1045
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 19: in our volleyball courts. When we want young men who

1046
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 19: aspire to be in the NBA or the NFL to

1047
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 19: be educated, to mature and to grow as they seek

1048
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 19: that achievement. We all to be focused on making college

1049
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 19: sports great yet again, and I look forward to being

1050
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 19: a part of this conversation moving forward.

1051
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 6: Thank you, Greg very much. Sarah Hirshland, Liz, thank you.

1052
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 20: Good afternoon everyone. Let me start by saying thank you

1053
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 20: President Trump and your whole administration for your continued support

1054
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 20: of both Team USA and the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

1055
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 20: I'm proud to be here today to represent Team USA,

1056
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 20: and I will say it is no surprise to anyone

1057
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 20: in this room that we are the greatest sporting nation

1058
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 20: in the world. Team USA is the most successful team

1059
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 20: in history, with more Olympic medals than any other nation.

1060
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 20: One of our competitive advantages is the education based sports

1061
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 20: system our country has embraced. For more than a century.

1062
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 20: America's colleges and universities built a world class athletic system

1063
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 20: that develops the whole athlete academically and competitively. This system

1064
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 20: is the envy of the world. As we heard Charlie say,

1065
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 20: it has also been the backbone of Team USA for generations.

1066
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 20: The results speak for themselves. You heard Greg reference some

1067
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 20: and I'll just expand the athletes from just the Paris

1068
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 20: Games represented two hundred and thirty one different college institutions

1069
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 20: and seventy one conferences. Ninety different schools were represented by

1070
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:35,720
Speaker 20: our medallists from just the Paris Games alone. This success

1071
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 20: does not happen by accident. It is directly impacted by

1072
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 20: the broad based, sustained investment in sport on campus. You've

1073
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 20: heard that referenced. This is not something we can take

1074
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 20: for granted. To say that our country should be grateful

1075
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 20: to colleges and universities and their athletic programs is an understatement.

1076
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 20: And while the United States has topped the gold medal
