00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: first episode where the NBA Playoffs this season ever got going.

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: It has already been an unbelievable three days. We are

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: going to be lighting a damn beam shortly. The Lakers

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: are going to a title. The Warriors might be cooked forever.

16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: The East is wide open. It's just been a brilliant

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: first few days of the NBA Playoffs. Couldn't be more exciting,

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: couldn't be better. We also have a new highest paid

19
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: player in the NFL. We have WWE style stumps. We

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: have so much to get into and at the end

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: of today's show, We are going to talk about some

22
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: real world stuff as there was a tragedy in my

23
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: hometown while I was there this past weekend and it actually,

24
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: to me, is a symptom of a far larger issue.

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: So we will get into that at the end of

26
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: the show. But before we do any of that, For

27
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: people that have missed last few episodes and they're like, hey,

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: where's the tall goof, that's Demonse. He's my typical co host.

29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: He has moved to Los Angeles, sent some bizarre tweets,

30
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: gone to a Dodger game, bought a car, got an apartment,

31
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: started his office job at Fox. He will be back

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: in a few months. For the next few weeks. In

33
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: his stead is his younger sister, Deora. Deora, you did

34
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: your first show on a regular grading scale would have

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: been a six and a half out of ten. On

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: a first show grading scale, you get an eight and

37
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: a half. Your second show was a solid eight out

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: of ten on no curve. We're gonna see if we

39
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: can continue the upward trajectory today. Why not. I complimented

40
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: you eight out of ten on your second show ever

41
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: was great. So Diora will be the one guiding the

42
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: show shortly. But first, and don't forget high energy and

43
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: nunci eight loud. Let's let's do this. Let's do this.

44
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: What's not on today's show. Not on the show today

45
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: is his triple j Jaron Jackson Junior winning the Defensive

46
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: Player of the Year, the Texans listening to golfers for

47
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: the number two pick, and Dan Snyder is selling the Commanders,

48
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: which matt Ford I think called the greatest day in

49
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: his life as a Washington Commanders fan. Shout out to

50
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: matt Ford for being the only Washington Commanders fan I know.

51
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: Good for him. Now to the matt Ford, by the way,

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: as our fearless leader, our fearless leader used to be

53
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: a guy.

54
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: What was this?

55
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: Gab Gabe got something? I'm not sure. He doesn't really

56
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: come around that often anymore. Theoretically he's the boss, but

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: matt Ford has taken over for him succession style forced

58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: him out. All right, Diorra, what are we doing to

59
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: start the show today? Actually, I know what we're starting

60
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: with today, but you go ahead and tell the arts, okay.

61
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: All right, So let's start with the game from late

62
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: last night, King's Warriors.

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: Ye.

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: In two great games, the Kings outplayed the Warriors down

65
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: the struts and the beam, and in Game two, Draymond

66
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: showed how rattled Golden State was getting ejected for a

67
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: w w E style stomp.

68
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, great energy, great job. Second of all,

69
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: look at the beam. Look at the beam that they're putting.

70
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: This is why you should watch on YouTube for these

71
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: added elements. All right, go ahead and ask the question.

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: Will this young team be the be the one to

73
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 3: end the Warriors old man dynasty?

74
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 2: Okay, the answer is yes, and that's big picture, that's macro.

75
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: Let's go micro. How is this happening? Why are the

76
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: Kings up to nothing? Well, and this is where I'm sorry,

77
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: but I've gotta throw some shade if I may, I

78
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: gotta throw a little shade at not. I think basketball

79
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 2: podcasters actually do a really good job of watching the

80
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: entire league. I don't know that many sports TV folks,

81
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: such as myself, I don't know how many of them

82
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: were actually watching the Kings this year. I know I was,

83
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: and I know that's why I picked the Kings to

84
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: win the series. That's why I said the idea that

85
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: playing the Kings in Round one is some grand prize, now,

86
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: is it? Better than playing the Suns and round one.

87
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: I did believe that, But the idea that the Kings

88
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: were just gonna be walked all over you had and

89
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: watched them. This offense is undeniably historically great. You then

90
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: add to the fact that Dearon Fox this year was

91
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: the most clutch player in the sport by a couple

92
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: standard deviations, but massively leading rest of the sport in

93
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: clutch points the field go for all of it. You

94
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: then add to the fact that for this particular matchup,

95
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: why is this matchup so bad for the Warriors? Well

96
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: a couple of reasons. One is who coaches the Kings,

97
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 2: Mike Brown? Where was he Golden State? So what does

98
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: he know all the Warriors' tricks, what actions they're gonna

99
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: try to run, what their counters are going to be.

100
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: You then add this fact the Warriors were a historically

101
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: awful road team, So the idea that the Warriors were

102
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: gonna fall down two a lot of people could have

103
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: seen that coming. Well, Nick, or is it now gonna

104
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: be two to two after four games? Is next to

105
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 2: her in Golden State? Maybe? However, the Kings this year

106
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: better on the road than at home because offense travels

107
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: the Kings this year. I know people always say defense

108
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: travels great, offense travels everywhere. The Kings this year the

109
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: best road team in the entire Western Conference. So if

110
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: the Kings have all those things going for them, why

111
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: were they just the three seeds? Well, their defense was terrible.

112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: But what was terrible about their defense their room protection.

113
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: Guess what the Warriors don't do attack the bestt all

114
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: those reasons, this is a terrible matchup for Golden State.

115
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: The Kings can shoot with them. That's how they won

116
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: Game one, and they won Game two by locking in

117
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 2: defensively forcing some tough shots. And then once again, both

118
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: of these games were tied with a few minutes left,

119
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: and in both of these games, the Kings out executed

120
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: Golden State down the stretch. So that's the big picture, Macro.

121
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Now we get smaller Draymond yesterday. So Draymond can't help himself,

122
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: and his explanation after the game did not help his cause.

123
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: When he's like, well, what do you want? He didn't

124
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: say it was an accident. I slipped. I was just

125
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: trying to get said, what do you want me to do?

126
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: They keep grabbing me, which coming from Draymond is rich

127
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: considering in game one we saw him lay on Demonts

128
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: Sabonis to try to get the Warriors a fast break.

129
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: The idea that because Sabonus was holding his ankle, you

130
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: can stop him like that is an absurdity, and Draymond

131
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: might have cost him that game. He got a flagrant too,

132
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: and then was ejected. Do they win if he plays?

133
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they have a better chance if

134
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: he plays, because they don't trust Kaminga, they don't trust

135
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: pool Looney was in foul trouble. So that then leads

136
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: to some really good questions long term and short term

137
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: about Draymond. So go ahead, Diora, what do you think

138
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: this means for his future? Well, he might be suspended

139
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,359
Speaker 2: for game three. I believe what he did is suspendable.

140
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: I don't think given his history, he can get any

141
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt. And I knows they might say, well,

142
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: we threw him out of game two, so do we

143
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 2: really need suspend him. I think an intentional, full force

144
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: stump on a player's chest is a suspendable offense. So

145
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: that's the short term future. The long term future is

146
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: and I said this two weeks ago, but nobody wanted

147
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: to listen and now, and I guess I should take

148
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: this as a compliment, but I don't when I say

149
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: things on TV and on this podcast, and then a week,

150
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: ten days, two weeks later, I turn on the competing

151
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: sports television network and I see what I said is

152
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: their topic, but with like, hey, could this be Draymond's

153
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: last series with the Warriors? Of course it could be.

154
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: I think it will be. He has a player option

155
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: after this year. I believe if he opts in, then

156
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: obviously he's got another year with him. But I think

157
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: he's going to opt out and ask for a new deal,

158
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: and I do not think Golden State's gonna give it

159
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: to him. The year can't start with Draymond sucker punching

160
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: a teammate and then come close to ending with him

161
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: being thrown out of a playoff game for a cheap shot,

162
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 2: and all throughout the middle, the team's mediocre because they

163
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: can't win road games, because they can't defend, because their

164
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: emotional leader, Draymond has lost his authority to lead because

165
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: he sucker pucks a teammate and he's not as effected

166
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: mentally as he once was. And then say yeah, that's

167
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: a guy I want to give one hundred million dollars

168
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: two into his mid to late thirties. Not gonna happen.

169
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: So the Warriors as we know them are I believe

170
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: in their final days, Steph will be there, play will

171
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: be there, Wiggins will be there. Pool even if they

172
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: don't want him, there is gonna be there. But that

173
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: core Steph, Clay Draymond. They went to six finals, they

174
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: won four titles. I think they have about ten days

175
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: left together, and I think we're gonna see the final

176
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: game that they play together. It's gonna happen in Northern California,

177
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: either in their arena or in the King's Arena here

178
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: in the next ten to twelve days, and it's gonna

179
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: be one of the major storylines of the summer. You

180
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: have one more follow up I see in the rundown

181
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: go ahead.

182
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: Do you think the Kings are the Jags of the NBA?

183
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: For me, it is very interestingct thing. They're not my

184
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: favorite team, but I do actually respect them the way

185
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the media refused to. Also similarly, I

186
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: picked the Jags, who were the home team in Round

187
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: one of the playoffs, the home underdog to beat the Chargers.

188
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: They did that, but then I said their story was

189
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: going to end because the next round they were playing

190
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: my team, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kings are the

191
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,479
Speaker 2: home team playing, but they're the underdogs playing the Warriors.

192
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: I picked them for the next round. They're playing my

193
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: team for the time being, the Lakers, and I will

194
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: pick against them there. So there's a lot of a

195
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: lot of similarities.

196
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: So yes or no for me?

197
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: Kind of the Kings have a beam, the Jags have

198
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: a prince, and like the damn beam, look at that beam?

199
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: Do your look at it? And the beam we have

200
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: in studio on television today is going to be glorious.

201
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: I guess there are some similarities there as well. For

202
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: the Jags, I brought in the trumpeters. For the Kings,

203
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: we bought an industrial sized beam. It's great, all right,

204
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: all right? Do you or I almost messed up there.

205
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: Let's go to the next topic and keep up this

206
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: great energy. You are doing excellent. This is how nine

207
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: out of ten just demands a month to get a

208
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: nine out of ten. Next.

209
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: Okay, So the Lakers star duo of and Austin Reeves

210
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 3: and Ruey.

211
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that's their star duo. I get it.

212
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, that's incredible on Sunday, and with the

213
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: Grizzlies down three starters, could Lebron actually advance? Or are

214
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: you and are you already planning a parade because you

215
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: know you're always on the Lebron's side, or do you

216
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: realize that it's just game one?

217
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: What is just game one? But do I think that

218
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: thing is coming up Lebron right now?

219
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

220
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: But do you always thinks I think things are always

221
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: coming not.

222
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: Always, more often than not, yes, and more often than not,

223
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: I'm correct. I mean, the guy went to eight straight finals,

224
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: nine finals and ten years, won four titles in a

225
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: nine year stretch. Was pretty good. I mean, he's pretty good.

226
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: When the years he didn't win the make the one

227
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: year he didn't make the finals, he got hurt. Uh.

228
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: Then two of those finals losses came against the greatest,

229
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, arguably not arguably inarguably the greatest offensive team ever,

230
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: the Warriors when they added Kevin Durant. But let's talk,

231
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: let's talk about the hero. And now this couldn't be

232
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: breaking better for the Lakers. Oh gosh, just couldn't be. No,

233
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: it just couldn't be. The Suns you're seeing their lack

234
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: of depth and chemistry. Already. The Warriors, who a lot

235
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: of people thought were scary, are down oh two. The Kings,

236
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: who I respect, But what did I say was the

237
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: King's biggest issue? Rim defense, interior defense. The Lakers have

238
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis and Lebron James, and then you have the Grizzlies,

239
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: who now John Morant looks like he broke a few fingers.

240
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: He might be out for Game two. The Lakers already,

241
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: he'll only be out for Game two. I'm not sure,

242
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: but I think he will be out for Game two.

243
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: And we'll see if they try to do a rap

244
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: or whatever. But it's on his shooting hand, so even

245
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: if he plays, he's going to be less effective. They

246
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: were already down two of their bigs and they just

247
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: won a game getting a by his standards. See, yeah,

248
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: call it a C level game from Lebron James, the

249
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: old Lebron feel out game, not gonna do too much,

250
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: try to get shots for other people. See what the

251
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: defense is trying to do. When Lebron teams win game

252
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: one of a series, they're twenty seven and two in

253
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: those series and they just won game one, and John

254
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: might be out for Game two, and they could not

255
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: only steal home court, but they could go up two

256
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: to oh on the road on Memphis tomorrow. Yeah, and

257
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: then I believe you're gonna get a Kings team that

258
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: is coming off, you know, the greatest moment in the

259
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: franchise in twenty some years. Maybe a bit of an

260
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: emotional letdown. It's a tough matchup for the Kings against

261
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Yeah, I'm right now. I feel like the

262
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: Lakers are the favorites in the West, and then out.

263
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: East, are like your favorite in the East.

264
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: In the West, you mean, but maybe we're in the

265
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: East though we are. Oh, I see what you mean. Yes,

266
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: we are in the ease, and then out East Giannie

267
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: is banged up. Harden unfortunately, is looking like playoff Harden.

268
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: Now the Celtics are looming. But I'll tell you right now, man,

269
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: the idea of a Lakers Celtics NBA Finals, oh my goodness,

270
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: old rivals, it'd be unbelievable. So yeah, I do think

271
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: everything's coming up Lakers. Yeah, I'm planning the parade. And

272
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: if they could make quick work of Memphis and get

273
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: some rest going into Round two, Oh my gosh, the

274
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: whole league was put on notice by the fact that

275
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: Lebron was in third gear that entire game and the

276
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: Lakers won going away. That is a scary sign for everybody,

277
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: all right, Next.

278
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: Okay, while the Kings were enjoying their first playoff win

279
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: in seventeen years, you did some digging. Steph had a

280
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: chance in the final minute for the Warriors in Game one,

281
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: but missed again, then had some bricks in game three.

282
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 2: Game two. Yeah, that's not your fault. It says game three,

283
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: but it should say game two.

284
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 3: Oh, game two. You did some research to see just

285
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: how bad Steph. Steph isn't the clutch What did you find?

286
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 2: Well, so this is actually not really an indictment on

287
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: step Steph has not been great at the most clutch

288
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: playoff shots in his career. But I was doing this

289
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: research to see how Steph rings and then the same

290
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: thing kept popping up, and so I think we can

291
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: You guys can throw on the screen whatever the first

292
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: tweet of mine that you have, and we can discuss it.

293
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: Because so this was the first one I wrote after Saturday.

294
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: Steph is now three or thirteen on game tying or

295
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: go ahead three's in the final minute of playoff games.

296
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: Here's the full list of guys who have taken ten

297
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: such shots. So this is the data only goes back

298
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: to ninety six ninety seven, and everyone who's taken there's

299
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: only ten guys who have taken. Again, the scenario here

300
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: was three pointers attempted to tire or take the lead

301
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: in the final minute of playoff games. Ray Allen was

302
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: ten of sixteen, which is an absurdity, Damian Lillard's five

303
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: of ten, which is great, and then you have Ross

304
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: who's one of fourteen, not surprising, Durant three of sixteen,

305
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: steph three of thirteen. But what jumped out to me

306
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: was the late great Kobe Bryant, who everyone who argues

307
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: Kobe should be in the goat conversation, Kobe's better than Lebron.

308
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: The number one thing they go to is killer in

309
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: the clutch. Who do you want taking a shot? And

310
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: over the last twenty six years, the only person worse

311
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: at game tying or go ahead threes in the last

312
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: minute of the playoff games than Kobe Bryant was Russell

313
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: Westbrook Kobe three of seventeen. And that then brought me

314
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: to my next tweet, which was again same timeframe last

315
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: twenty seven years as far back as I have the

316
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: day all shots, not just threes, in the final minute

317
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: of playoff games to tie or take the lead, Harden

318
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: worst of theirs. There's twenty two players that qualify on

319
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: our screen right now. It actually cuts off the number

320
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: one guy, which is Ray Allen, the only he's the

321
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: only guy above fifty percent. He's at fifty two percent.

322
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 2: But let me go into this for a moment, because

323
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: James Harden the worst two of seventeen that is tracks

324
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: with what you remember Russell Westbrooks second worst three of

325
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: twenty four. Again, this is playoff games, tie or take

326
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: the lead, final minute, all shots. And then the second

327
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: best twenty one of forty four is Lebron and the

328
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: eighth worst twelve of forty four is Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan.

329
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 2: And to be fair to Michael, there's his last years

330
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: of his career is on there at five of thirteen.

331
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: But that right there is a jarring stat that I

332
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: put on television yesterday and Kevin Wilds, I don't know

333
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: if he was joking or not, said I rejected, which

334
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: is Kobe played twenty years. Lebron has played twenty years.

335
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: The universally accepted narrative is Kobe was a fearless killer

336
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: who always took the shot and was as good of

337
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: a clutch player ever. Lebron. This is one of the

338
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: universally accepted narrative. Lebron, this is one of his weaknesses.

339
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: He looks to pass, he doesn't take those shots, and

340
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: he's not good at them. Yet they both have played.

341
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: Kobe played twenty Lebron is in the midst of your

342
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: twenty amazingly shots in playoff games. Put that tweet back up,

343
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: if you would please, and then we'll go to the

344
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: next one. Shots in playoff games to tire take the

345
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 2: lead in the final minute. They both took the exact

346
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: same number forty four in a twenty year career. Kobe

347
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: made twelve, that's twenty seven percent. Lebron made twenty one.

348
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: That's forty seven percent, almost double second best percentage of

349
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: anyone in basketball only to Ray Allen.

350
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: You seem really passionate when talking about your best friend.

351
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: Okay, no, I'm passionate when listen. I do a sports

352
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: talk show, and he's the greatest athlete of all time,

353
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 2: So it does generate some passion. But I'm also passionate

354
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: in debunking myths. So then so again, exact same number

355
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: of attempts in their career. Kobe was below average at them,

356
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: Lebron the second best of anyone. Go ahead, go ahead.

357
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: But it's weird how two of the most clutch shots

358
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: of Lebron's career were made by Ray Allen and Kyrie Irvy.

359
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: Yet well again over the course of and two of

360
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: the most clutch shots of Michael Jordan's career made by

361
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: Steve Current John Paxton. The producers right now are setting

362
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: you up to fail because they are feeding you information

363
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: to debate with me about something that is not going

364
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: to work out. Well, yes, I agree, I know you'll

365
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: always well, no, I agree. I've always thought it's unfair

366
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: that Lebron's teammates are allowed to make shots. It would

367
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: be much more fair for the rest of the league.

368
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: Was like, hey, you're too good, your teammates can't make shots.

369
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 2: But then we get to the next thing, which is

370
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: someone tweeted to me closing out a game is not

371
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: just about the final minute. Same list for the final

372
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: six minutes would be far more interesting. So I give

373
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: you that, which is again the context is the final

374
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: six minutes. Same thing, last twenty seven years. Everyone that's

375
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: taken at least sixty shots in the final six minutes

376
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: of a playoff game to tie or take the lead.

377
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 2: Once again. Not good for Steph he's better only than

378
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: Russ He's thirty three percent. Not good for Kobe he

379
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 2: was thirty eight of one point fifteen for thirty three percent.

380
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: And great for Lebron second best of everyone only to

381
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: Duncan fifty nine to one forty three for forty one percent.

382
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: So final six minutes, final half of the final quarter

383
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: of playoff games, the entirety of both of their careers

384
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: Kobe took has taken one hundred and fifteen of those.

385
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: Lebron's taken one hundred and forty of them. Lebron's made more,

386
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 2: made a higher percentage. So then someone else tweets to me, now,

387
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: do five seconds or less. So I gave one minute.

388
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: They're like, no, that's too small, so give six minutes.

389
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: And it still shows Kobe below average, Lebron best or

390
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: second best. So then it says, all right, give me,

391
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: now let's go the other way. Final five seconds, So

392
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: I do. Okay, everyone that's taken at least six shots

393
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: in the final five seconds of a playoff game to

394
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: tire take the lead. And what we see is Steph

395
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: is one for six. And by the way, again on

396
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 2: if you're watching on the show, they cut it off

397
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: after Lebron, the top two are actually Chris Middleton and

398
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller was five to nine, Chris Middleton

399
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: was three of six. But the numbers. Kobe in these

400
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: situations final five seconds of playoff games to tire or

401
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: take the lead, took that shot eighteen times, made four

402
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: of them. Amazingly, Lebron also took has taken that shot

403
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: exactly eighteen times, made seven of them. Hard shot to me,

404
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: Hardens one for seven. Ross's won for six, STEP's won

405
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: for six. Durant hasn't even taken six of these. I'm sorry, No,

406
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: that's wrong. Durant's two of eleven. Pardon me, but again,

407
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: and this is where people just aren't able to process

408
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: the facts five seconds anything.

409
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: The only one who can process the fact.

410
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think if you go, if you go, tell people,

411
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: it's inarguable that Lebron is the most clutch player of

412
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: his generation, and that he is one of the most

413
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: clutch players ever while Kobe was inefficient and not effective

414
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: at these shots, people will no one will believe you,

415
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: And people say Lebron's scared to take them. Takes the

416
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: same amount as Kobe, no matter how you slice it,

417
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: the same amount as more five seconds, one minute, six minutes,

418
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: fourth quarter of playoff games, tire take the lead. People

419
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 2: just don't want to hear it. It is not what

420
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: they want to remember. And that then does bring me

421
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: briefly to we all, everyone watching this right now saw

422
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 2: the entire of Kobe Bryant's career, or almost everyone Watson

423
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: probably did, and yet I believe they probably have a

424
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: hard time believing this data, like, that's not what I remember.

425
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: So let's extrapolate that. What does that mean for how

426
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: we talk about Michael Jordan When a lot of us,

427
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: you know, weren't locked into the NBA in the eighties,

428
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: we didn't have league pass and Jordan's unbelievable, you know,

429
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: obviously one of the three greatest players ever. You can

430
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: make an argument for number two, you can make an

431
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: argument for number one. But how much of the legend

432
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: is what we want to remember rather than what actually happened?

433
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: Because with Kobe clutch shots it's a huge part of it,

434
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: and when Lebron not being clutch, it's the entirety of it.

435
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: All right, last topic, go ahead.

436
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Yesterday Jalen Hurts agreed to a five year, two

437
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty five million dollars deal. This now makes

438
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: him the highest plate paid player in the NFL. Two questions,

439
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: how does someone without a RING or MVP deserve that

440
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 3: kind of money and how does this affect Lamar Jackson's negotiations?

441
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I answer room in a reverse order. Lamar,

442
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: I think it would be smart for Lamar to go

443
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 2: to the Ravens and say, I'll take that exact deal,

444
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: that deal all take. I know he wants a fully

445
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: guaranteed deal. I think that would be a smart deal

446
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: to take. The argument is, well, he's been to a

447
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, Lamar hasn't. Lamar's won an MVP. He hasn't.

448
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: Lamar actually has finished his contract out, so he has

449
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: a little more leverage. Jalen had a year left, so

450
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: he has a little less leverage. That deal would be

451
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: a great deal for Lamar. I don't know if he's

452
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: going to do that. Joe Burrow's got to be thrilled

453
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: Burrow's gonna get more than jail. They've both been to

454
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. Joe Burrows had two good year years,

455
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: Jalen's only had one. Justin Herbert's probably like, Okay, i

456
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: might not get quite that much, but I'm gonna be

457
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: at fifty. Problem. The other person or people who should

458
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: be thrilled by this are Chiefs fans, because the price

459
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: of the brick is going up, as Marlow Stanfield would say,

460
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: and Mahomes is stable at forty five million a year.

461
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: So right now Mahomes is the fifth highest paid quarterback

462
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: in football.

463
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: You don't think he should be the most paid.

464
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, of course he should be, but it's in a

465
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: salary cap sport where you only have so many dollars

466
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: to spend. It's a huge advantage for the team that

467
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: he isn't for the Chiefs ability to win super Bowls.

468
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: And that's my point. He's the best player in the

469
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: league by a mile. He's the fifth highest paid quarterback.

470
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: Burrow's about to get a new deal, Herbert's about to

471
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: get a new deal. Lamar might get a new deal.

472
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: That means when this season starts, Patrick Mahomes is going

473
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: to be either the seventh or eighth highest paid quarterback

474
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: right now. And this is a jarring fact. There is

475
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: a bigger gap an annual salary between Patrick Mahomes and

476
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. Then there is an annual salary between Patrick

477
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: Mahomes and Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones makes five million a

478
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: year less than Mahomes. Mahomes makes six million a year

479
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: less than Hurts. Talk about planning parades, play in the

480
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: dynasty in Kansas City. You have the greatest player ever

481
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: and he's on a massive bargain. I fix the NBA's

482
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: charge epidemic. And we talk Sons Clippers. That's next. Then

483
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: we talk from real life in the Sea Block. That's

484
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,320

Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright Episode one

494
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: forty three, before we get into Sun's Clippers and a

495
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: game and a bunch of stuff. Uh, some absolutely unbelievable

496
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: news that just broke Damar Hamlin. Yes, that Damar Hamlin

497
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: has been cleared for all football activities and is returning

498
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: to the team today. So a young man whose heart

499
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: stopped on the field was given CPR and resuscitated on

500
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: the football field in late December. We are now in

501
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: April and he can resume his career. That is just

502
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 2: fantastic news, an amazing story, and that is great. That

503
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: is as cool as it gets. And you've got to

504
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: be so happy for him, for his family, for the bills,

505
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: for everybody, and those trainers on the field saved his life.

506
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: It's a really really cool, wonderful story. So that's really

507
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: really great. All right, Deora, Let's get back to the

508
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs. Go right ahead.

509
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: Okay, the Sun's Clippers Game two is tonight. Yeah, Katie

510
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 3: has now lost seven straight playoff game.

511
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: You were at his last win really. Yeah, that's the

512
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: last playoff that's yeah, which was nets Bucks Game five.

513
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: He played all forty eight minutes, scored forty eight points

514
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: in seventeen rebounds, ten assists, Steve Nash game a bear

515
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: hug at the end of that. They went up three

516
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: to two. They then lost Game six, lost Game seven.

517
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: Last year they played the Celtics in Round one, they

518
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: lost four to zero, and then they lost this one.

519
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 2: That's seven straight and nine of ten playoff losses for him.

520
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: But go ahead in Game one, Westbrook shot three of

521
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: nineteen but somehow was the Clippers hero. Would k D

522
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: losing in round one again with another super team be

523
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 3: a legacy killer?

524
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: All right? I don't think. I don't consider this quite

525
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: a super team. And Kadie, no matter what he does,

526
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: is one of the at worst sixteen greatest players ever.

527
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 2: All right, okay, at worst, but going out in your

528
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: the tail end of your prime back to back years

529
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: in round one would not be good. Last year, he

530
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 2: didn't play well in that series. It was his worst

531
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: playoff series of his career. But you didn't really blame him,

532
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: pardon me overall, because Kyrie submarine that season with the

533
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: back stuff and then the Harden trade happened, and they

534
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: just felt snake bit. This year, the Nets were playing well,

535
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 2: he demanded a trade. He gets to the exact team

536
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 2: he wanted to get to, and they're playing a Clippers

537
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: team that is without its second best player. If he

538
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: were to lose this series, that is devastating. All of

539
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 2: a sudden, you start at talking about at their peak,

540
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: who would you rather have? Kawhi or kd It would

541
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: be an unbelievable time in the Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant,

542
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: you know, saga it. I do not believe the Suns

543
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: can lose this series. I think it's almost impossible. I

544
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 2: think that Russ, while he was brilliant aside from the

545
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: three of nineteen in Game one, is not going to

546
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: be able to duplicate that. And I do think that

547
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: Duran's gotta be more assertive offensively. He just has to.

548
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: You can't play forty five minutes and take fifteen shots.

549
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: But I don't think the Clippers can beat the Suns

550
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: four times in seven games. What I do think is

551
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: this That game showed you why I don't think this

552
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: Suns team can win the title. Chris Paul is in

553
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 2: a totally different phase of his career. I don't trust

554
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Ayton and the Sun's bench is non existent. That their

555
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: bench players played fifty three minutes total. That's not a lot,

556
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: by the way, fifty three minutes off your bench in

557
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: Game one. In those fifty three minutes they were combined,

558
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: three of twelve from the field had like two assists.

559
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: So you only have two hundred and forty minutes total

560
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: to go around forty eight minute game. Five players on

561
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 2: the court at all times, five times forty two forty,

562
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: So fifty three of your two hundred and forty minutes

563
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 2: were taken up by guys who contributed nothing. That's not

564
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: a recipe to win, which just not now is it

565
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 2: a recipe? Can they get through Round one with it? Yeah?

566
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 2: But Denver might be able to give them real trouble,

567
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: And you bet your ass the Lakers, if they're healthy

568
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: as deep as they are, can give them real trouble.

569
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 2: So I yes. Losing in Round one would make the

570
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 2: post Warriors part of Kevin Durant's career bizarre. It would

571
00:36:53,920 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: have been a year missed with an injury, then going

572
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: up to nothing and three to two on Milwaukee and

573
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: losing that series, then swept in round one, then demanding

574
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: a trade and losing in round one. It wouldn't kill

575
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 2: his legacy, obviously wouldn't help it. But I don't think

576
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: that's going to happen all right next.

577
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: We sadly saw a lot of injuries over the first

578
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: weekend of the playoffs. Both the Honis and Jaw took

579
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 3: hard falls after defenders were trying to draw charges. Yep,

580
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 3: Sabonas took a hit going for one last night again

581
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: against Steph two. It's time for Nick makes it right.

582
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 3: How would you fix this?

583
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: He's got to ban week side charges. It's very simple.

584
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: You've been on the banning stuff lately.

585
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 2: Yes, I have been, but I've been on banning weekside

586
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: charges for five years. Guys. Weekside charges were popularized by

587
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: unathletic college basketball players as a way to try to

588
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: even the score. Essentially with high flying, great athletes, they

589
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: run over there and get beneath them. It's the most

590
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 2: dangerous play in the sport. We changed the way you're

591
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: allowed to close out shooters because Zazo put his foot

592
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: beneath Kawhi. I'm not banning all charges. If you are

593
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: guarding someone head up and he goes through your chest,

594
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: that's a charge. If someone pushes off, that's a charge.

595
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: But if someone beats their man and is rising up

596
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: for a dunk or a layup, and you're guarding someone

597
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: else and you run over and get stationary just so

598
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 2: you guys can he can run into you while he's

599
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 2: in the air and you're on the ground. It's an

600
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 2: obviously dangerous play. Well, Nick, what would you have defenders do?

601
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: Contest the shot, meet him at the apex, go up

602
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: jump with him. Now, are we worried that that's tilting

603
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: the scales too far towards the offense. Sure, then maybe

604
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: adjust a bit how much contact you allow in the

605
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: defenders favor if they go up for a block, maybe

606
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: don't call. Maybe soften what is and what is not

607
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: a foul if you're contesting a shot. But it is

608
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 2: an obviously dangerous play that I feel like unathletic college

609
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 2: basketball players made their careers on, and then it poisoned

610
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: the NBA over the last fifteen years. You can't have

611
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: John Moran because this is what Anthony Davis did. Was smart,

612
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: but it's insane. Anthony Davis is six ' ten, the

613
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: best defender in the sport some nights. Right. John Morant

614
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 2: is six ' three. John Morant goes up for a dunk.

615
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis can jump with him and try to block it. Instead,

616
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: he stands there, so Job falls into him. Now, joh

617
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: he was five feet off the ground falling straight down,

618
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: and he did, and he broke his fingers. It looks

619
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: like Jahan is similar situation. He goes up, someone cuts

620
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 2: underguts him, he falls and bruises his tailbone. Don't incentivize

621
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: that level of dangerous play. It's that simple. Ban the

622
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 2: weak side charge. All right, what game will we play?

623
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: Were playing? All in our fold? Yeah, so first one,

624
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: Knicks fans were devastated to miss out on Donovan Mitchell,

625
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: but Jalen Brunson has them looking primed to beat the

626
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: Calves in round one. All in our fold, the Knicks

627
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 3: are better off with Brunson than Mitchell.

628
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fold that. I still believe the Calves are

629
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: gonna win the series. However, this is not an easy

630
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 2: of a fold as it was six months ago, because

631
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 2: Jalen has been exceptional. Now, Donovan's been actually even better

632
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: as a calf than he ever was as Utah Jazz

633
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 2: Donovan is still I think pretty clear cut the better

634
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 2: of the two players. However, if Jalen Brunson continues on

635
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 2: this upward trajectory, if the question is, would you rather

636
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: have Jalen Brunson, who you signed in free agency and

637
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 2: therefore didn't trade anything any of your young players or

638
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 2: your picks, or have Donovan Mitchell but have traded away

639
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 2: all of those assets, that is becoming a real debate.

640
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: If Jalen can give you eighty percent of what Donovan

641
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: can give you, but you keep all those assets to

642
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: then trade for a different star, that might work out

643
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: well for the nixt So I don't think Jalen's as

644
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 2: good of a player as Donovan. I don't think anybody does,

645
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 2: but he's played well enough that it's close ish enough.

646
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 2: And the those young players have developed, most notably Demonsee's

647
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: former summer league teammate, Quinton Grimes. It's unbelievable. This kid

648
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 2: that demonse played with for basketball university was two years

649
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: younger than Demonse's now one of the key contributors for

650
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: the Knicks. H Emmanuel quickly. RJ hasn't developed obviously the

651
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: way you would have hoped, but still that does become

652
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: a real debate, and credit to the Knicks, who I

653
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 2: probably have slightly underrated throughout the year. Maybe I still

654
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 2: am because I think they're gonna lose to the Calves,

655
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 2: but as a great opening playoff win. Next.

656
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: Okay, so we mentioned Giannis's back injury, but come on,

657
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 3: Milwaukee is stacked without him. There's no excuse that they

658
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: dropped game one to an eight seed at home. All

659
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 3: in our fold, the Bucks win for one.

660
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna win for one. I think

661
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: you're win for two. So I'm gonna fold on that. Listen.

662
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 2: I I respect Miami. I've been saying this. I was

663
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: saying it all the end of the regular season when

664
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: it looked like my was gonna play Boston. Eric Spoltzer's

665
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: the best coach in the NBA. Jimmy Butler is like

666
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth best player in the league in the

667
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 2: regular season and like the eleventh best player in the

668
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: league in the playoffs. He gets better in the playoffs.

669
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 2: They're a real team, and Bam can present some proms

670
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 2: for Giannis when he's healthy, let alone when he's coming

671
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: off an injury. So I respect the Heat. Heat went

672
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 2: to the finals three years ago. They were the number

673
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: one seed last year in game seven of the Eastern

674
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: Amage Finals. I respect them, but with Tyler Hero breaking

675
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: his hand and some of the things they're gonna to

676
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: deal with, they can't beat the Bucks. But they're a tough,

677
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 2: tough round one matchup, all right.

678
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 3: Next, Okay, the seventy six ers are cruising. But James

679
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 3: Harden only had eight points and thirty eight minutes Monday.

680
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah that's rough. Yeah, it's not great.

681
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: So all letterfold playoff. Harden has returned.

682
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't look great. And this is my picks, come

683
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: out of the East and be It's been spectacular in

684
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: both of these games. And the way he read what

685
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: the defense was doing last night and passed the open

686
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: man and was great on he was just great. And

687
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: I know Harden's dealing with his achilles, but this is

688
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 2: a rough spot right now for Philly and they don't

689
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 2: need Harden to be MVP level hard, but in order

690
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 2: to beat the Celtics, he's got to get right quickly,

691
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 2: and that is a legitimate concern, right all right.

692
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 3: I think that was like the first time we were

693
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 3: less than.

694
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: A minute over more than a minute. Oh yeah, that

695
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 2: first time, we were less than ten minutes over. Probably Uh,

696
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: that's because I deleted two of the questions. Remember we

697
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 2: were gonna have two more. I knew we're gonna be

698
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 2: able to hit it. Okay, So we're gonna talk some

699
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: real life stuff. There was a tragedy in my hometown.

700
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: There was a tragedy in upstate New York. There was

701
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 2: a miscarriage of justice happening right now in Texas, and

702
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: they're all related, and we're gonna talk about all of it.

703
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: And if you don't want to hear that, join us

704
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: on Thursday. If you do want to hear that, I

705
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 2: think it'll be the best part of the podcast. We're

706
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: gonna do that next. Take a very quick break, come

707
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 2: right back. What's right? All right? Welcome back in episode

708
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 2: one three, What's Right with Nick? Right? So, Uh, Thursday,

709
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: I landed in Kansas City for me and my wife's

710
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: ten year anniversary, and we were there all weekend and

711
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 2: by Saturday, people in the city were talking to me saying, oh, man,

712
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 2: so I have to get real bad here. We have

713
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: a Trayvon situation. And I was like, I people were

714
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: already talking about the city and I'm like, what are

715
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: you talking about and they said, at you know, people

716
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: would give me different details or whatever, but we now

717
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: know exactly what happened, and what we're gonna talk about

718
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: here is not actually just about Ralph Y'arl, the young

719
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: man who was shot and miraculously is alive in Kansas City,

720
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: because there was yesterday now or day before yesterday, a

721
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: similar tragedy in New York and this is well, just

722
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: stay tuned for it. We're gonna try to thread this needle.

723
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 2: So if you won't know what happened in Kansay, having

724
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 2: Cansity is very simple. Young man, sixteen year old black

725
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 2: kid named Ralph Yarl was sent by his mom to

726
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 2: go pick up his twin little brothers. He thought he

727
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: was going to one hundred and fifteenth Street. They were

728
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 2: on one hundred and fifteenth Terrace or vice versa. He

729
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: pulls into the driveway, rings the doorbell and this is

730
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 2: not just his family story. This is now according to

731
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: the Kansity Police, and an eighty four year old white

732
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 2: man comes to the door and within second shoots him twice,

733
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 2: once in the head through the door. Through the door

734
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: glass door opens, one door, sees him, has his gun,

735
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: shoots him twice, once in the head. Bullet fragments lodged

736
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 2: above his eye. His mom said this morning to Gail King,

737
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: they were in his brain, but I'm she said, frontal lobe.

738
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 2: But he's also home.

739
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: Now and said it hit his frontal low front and

740
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 3: then he was shot again, and then he.

741
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: Was shot in his shoulder. H Amazingly he survived. Now,

742
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: his mom made it very clear, he's home, but he

743
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: has medical professionals all around.

744
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like, the only reason he's home is

745
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 3: because that the doctors is they have families are doctors.

746
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 2: They wanted to get him home. But he is talking.

747
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 2: He's talking, and President Biden called him and so this

748
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: and then and then the reason they're so again, let

749
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: me give the very short version of it. Sixteen year

750
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: old kid is supposed to go to eleven hundred, one

751
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteenth Terrace, goes to eleven hundred, one hundred

752
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: and fifteenth Street, rings the doorbell. Eighty four year old

753
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 2: white man comes to the door, sees him, shoots him twice.

754
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 3: Had the gun though before he even got to the door, of.

755
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: Course, because he knew, of course, and the kid lived.

756
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 2: The man called the cops. Cops brought him in, questioned

757
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 2: him and said, all right, well, according to the KCPD,

758
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: they claim we can't do anything until we get a

759
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 2: victim statement. It's not my experience at all, but fine,

760
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: and let him go. There then was massive community outrage

761
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: before it became a national story. By Sunday, they were

762
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 2: protests in front of the house. They then charged the man,

763
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 2: the eighty four year old, with first degree assault, armed

764
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: criminal action. And however, what the national media at thus

765
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 2: far has gotten wrong in this story is he has

766
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 2: not been arrested. He has been charged. So either they

767
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: are they can't find him, or they are waiting for

768
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: him to turn himself in. But as of this moment,

769
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: this man who shot this sixteen year old child for

770
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: ringing his doorbell, that's not fair. He shot the sixteen

771
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: year old child for ringing his doorbell while being black,

772
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 2: has not been incarcery. I don't know if he's on

773
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 2: the run. I don't know if the cops just haven't

774
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 2: managed probably can't run five right, if the cops has

775
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 2: haven't managed to get over to him. But that's what's happened.

776
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: But he has been charged. I assume he'll be found,

777
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: and I assume he'll go to trial. Now. His defense

778
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: is I was scared, Okay, go ahead to you.

779
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 3: Or the question is what is the reason to be

780
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 3: scared when this kid like he's sixteen years old. He's

781
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: younger than I am, and I've seen pictures he's smaller

782
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: than I am.

783
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 2: And oh, I don't know if that's that. I'm not

784
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: sure if that's true. I actually think he's I think

785
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: he's a tall kid. But that doesn't matter at all.

786
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 3: No, but I'm saying he doesn't even look like a

787
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 3: threat whatsoever. And the only reason he even slightly looks

788
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 3: like a threat is because he's a black boy.

789
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 2: Obviously. I mean, I don't mean that patronized him to you.

790
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm saying that clearly. And the only reason this man

791
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 2: was not instantly arrested is because he was an old

792
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 2: white man who shot a young black boy.

793
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 3: He didn't know what he was doing.

794
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 2: He didn't And the if you want to say this

795
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 2: is more about his age than his race, maybe my

796
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: experience with certain parts of the Kansaity Police Department lead

797
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: me to feel differently, but set that aside. He got

798
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 2: preferential treatment due to the fact of the demographics of

799
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: who he was and the demographics of who was shot.

800
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 2: We know that, we know that, and we also know

801
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: let me, I want to be totally accurate here. I

802
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 2: feel very confident that if every part of this story

803
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: is the same, but that is a white sixteen year

804
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 2: oldho rings his doorbell, he does not shoot him in

805
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: the head and then in the shoulder. Before asking a question,

806
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 2: you can say, Nick, you can't prove it. I can't

807
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 2: prove it. I know it. That one is very black

808
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 2: and white, no pun intended. It's clear what happened there.

809
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: And anybody that wants to that is listening to this

810
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: right now and feels like anything I've said is controversial.

811
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 5: I if anything that I've said up to this point

812
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 5: makes you angry enough to where you want to turn

813
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 5: off the podcast, I would appreciate if you do exactly

814
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 5: that and never turn it back, because now we.

815
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: Have something that happened in upstate New York that removes

816
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 2: the racial part of it and is somehow just as

817
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: Actually in this case, you could argue, I don't want

818
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: to say more tragic, but if type of tragic, this

819
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 2: girl lost her life. So in Upstate New York, Caitlin Gillis,

820
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: who's twenty years old, was in a r on a

821
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 2: rural road with friends of hers looking for another friend's house.

822
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 2: From the news reports there. The rural area they were

823
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: in are those long driveways where you have to basically

824
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: go deep into the driveway before you get the house.

825
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 2: They drive their car down the driveway and nobody even

826
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 2: gets out. They see, oh, we're at the wrong house,

827
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: start to turn around. The sixty five year old homeowner

828
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 2: comes out and shoots twice into the car. No one

829
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 2: has gotten out of the car. Shoots twice into the car.

830
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 2: This young girl's debt debt.

831
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 3: She was the driver, No.

832
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 2: She was in the passenger seat. Is at least what

833
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 2: the reports were. Because they then drove six miles up

834
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: the road in the middle of nowhere. They had to

835
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: drive far away to get help to They couldn't even

836
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 2: call nine to one one for six miles because they

837
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 2: had no phone service. Cops went to him, there was

838
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 2: a standoff. They arrested him immediately. You also had just

839
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 2: recently and go ahead to your.

840
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: And in the like half of these cases, it's not

841
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 3: even the problem. It's the race or the other person.

842
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 3: It's the guns that's the problem.

843
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:37,359
Speaker 2: Well, it's one other problem, how scared everyone is when

844
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 2: they should not be, which is what I'm going to

845
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 2: try to tie this all together with the guns. Obviously,

846
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: without the guns, this doesn't happen. But not only is

847
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 2: that horse out of the barn. That horse has left.

848
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: The barn had three hundred million baby horses, and they're

849
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 2: all across the country. We got more guns than people.

850
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: We are just on that front. No fix me none. Now,

851
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 2: we could do certain things to prevent mass shootings, an

852
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 2: assault rifles band, which is such a crazy liberal idea.

853
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were in favor of

854
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 2: it back in a saner time of America. In fact,

855
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: you know, there's certain things we could do for mass shootings,

856
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 2: but the individual handgun ain't going anywhere anywhere. So we

857
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: have the most armed society ever, and everyone's afraid more

858
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 2: in the fear. In a moment last week, Walgreens Tennessee,

859
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 2: so a woman who is seven months pregnant that means

860
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: very visibly pregnant with a friend allegedly shoplifting. She and

861
00:54:55,400 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: the friend leave the store start putting again allegedly what

862
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: they stole under the trunk. The twenty one year old

863
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 2: manager follows them out and confronts them. One of them

864
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 2: maces him. He shoots the pregnant woman multiple times.

865
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 3: Was the pregnant woman even the one who mased him.

866
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Here's what I do know. A lot

867
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: of people hear that story and say, I got no

868
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 2: problem with that. You were stealing and you maced a guy.

869
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 3: One one thing, that's not the manager's responsibility whatsoever.

870
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the other thing is this, you're not even.

871
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 3: Allowed to follow shoplifters out of the store.

872
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 2: Of course, And if you follow a shoplifter out of

873
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: the store while car for pistol, my guess is you're

874
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: doing it because you might want to shoot somebody. And

875
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 2: here's the other thing. For the folks that are on

876
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: the he was she was committing a crime. So anything

877
00:55:55,640 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 2: that happens is fair game. The penalty for shoplift in

878
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 2: this country is not death being shot in the street.

879
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: The penalty, by the way, for macing somebody when they

880
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: confront you with not being shot in the streets.

881
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 3: And also, I'm sure the other person I can't be sure,

882
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 3: but I'm pretty sure that person wouldn't have maced the

883
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 3: manager if they didn't see the person had the gun.

884
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: But that guy much like Andrew lestenkan City who shot

885
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 2: Carl or Ralph Yarl, Saint Sandra Ground, Sandra Ground. So

886
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 2: now we go to Texas, and I promise I'm gonna

887
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 2: wrap all these together. We go to Texas. Daniel Perry

888
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 2: a few months back, sees these Black Lives Matter protesters

889
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 2: and hates them. Goes on Facebook, calls them monkeys to

890
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 2: his friends, saying I might kill a protester on my

891
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 2: way to work today. Texts another friend says I'm gonna

892
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 2: drive my car right into these protesters, gets in his car, drive,

893
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 2: drives to where the protests are. There's a man in

894
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,959
Speaker 2: the protest carrying an AK forty seven. Now I think

895
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 2: that is insane, but in Texas, totally legal allowed. Daniel Perry,

896
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 2: after telling his friends I'm gonna kill a protester and

897
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 2: calling the protesters monkeys, initiates a confrontation with this protester,

898
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: shoots and kills.

899
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 3: Him with his gun or the AK, with his own gun,

900
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 3: with the gun he brought it in order to commit

901
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 3: this premeditated murder.

902
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 2: A jury of his peers heard that case and said, yeah,

903
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 2: you're guilty. You're going to jail. Within six hours of that,

904
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 2: the Governor of Texas said, as soon as I can

905
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 2: on pardoning it. He committed no crime. He was standing

906
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 2: his ground.

907
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 3: What ground was he standing?

908
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 2: Well? That brings us to another issue. And I know

909
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 2: we have a lot of issues in the air now,

910
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 2: But one other story. A couple weeks back, San Francisco,

911
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: the founder of cash Act is tragically stabbed in San Francisco.

912
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 2: The media universally uses it as an instance to discuss

913
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 2: the out of control crime in San Francisco, dangerous liberal

914
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 2: health escape, a lot of poor people, a lot of

915
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 2: homeless people, to where now millionaire tech founders can't walk

916
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: down the street without being brutally stabbed today. The problem

917
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: with that story is three days later we found out

918
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 2: you stabbed to death by an allegedly by another tech

919
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 2: executive in a dispute about one of their sisters. So

920
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 2: why do I bring that story, Because we now have

921
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 2: created the perfect storm for these instances of violence. So

922
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 2: the first ingredient is the guns, as armed as you

923
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: as any society has ever been. The second ingredient is

924
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 2: the fear. New York City San Francisco, two of the

925
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 2: safest big cities in the world, but we got a

926
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: lot of poor, got a lot of minorities, got a

927
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 2: lot of San Francisco in particular, drug people that are

928
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 2: strung out on drugs. Danger, fear, be afraid, you don't

929
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 2: know what's happening. You don't know. I know that. And

930
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: people right now listening saying nick, crime's out of control.

931
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Is crime in a lot of big cities up over

932
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Yes, is crime in almost

933
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 2: every big city in the country down thirty forty seventy

934
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 2: percent over where it was in the eighties and nineties. Yes,

935
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 2: of course, but that doesn't matter. Be afraid, be on edge,

936
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 2: be armed. That's the second ingredients.

937
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 3: Everyone's thing is always if you aren't armed, that's on you.

938
01:00:46,880 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Correct and third ingredient, a shocking dedication by lawmakers across

939
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 2: the country into trying to reinvent the Old West with

940
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 2: these standard groundlings, which have moved us to a place

941
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 2: of if at any time I feel any amount of fear,

942
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: I can respond with deadly force. Don't have to be

943
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 2: a cop, don't have to really be in danger, and

944
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 2: in fact, as the Texas case can show you, I

945
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 2: can start the confrontation, which if you take these to

946
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: their furthest logical conclusion gives you the authority to murder anyone.

947
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 2: If I want to murder you, all I have to

948
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 2: do is bring my gun and bait you into hitting me.

949
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 2: All I have to do is go to where you are,

950
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: spit in your face, call you a name, shove you,

951
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 2: and then let you get the best of me in

952
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 2: the beginning of a fight. And be white, of course,

953
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 2: And be white, of course, and be white, because that's

954
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: the last ingredient I was going to bring in. But

955
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 2: all I gotta do if what the guy Daniel Perry

956
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 2: in Texas, if he were to be pardoned, he told

957
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 2: his friends, I'm gonna go kill some people. He went

958
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 2: to where they were started, which is why he was convicted.

959
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 2: He started the confrontation and then immediately shot this old

960
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 2: white man in Kansas City. There was no confrontation, but

961
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 2: he's scared because he's black. Kid shoots the door. The

962
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 2: old white man in upstate New York doesn't even see

963
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 2: who's in the car, but he's scared. You're on my property.

964
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 2: It's goddamn Yellowstone evidently out here, and I'm gonna shoot you.

965
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 2: You brought up the andy white part of it. Of course,

966
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 2: in all, In some but not all of these, there

967
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 2: is And this is where again I'll bring the media's

968
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 2: pulpability into it. The media preaching fear of the other.

969
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 2: So people are on edge, they're misled about crime rates.

970
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: They have all these guns, and they have reason to believe.

971
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Some people don't shoot people because they don't want to.

972
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 2: Some people don't shoot people because they're afraid of the consequences.

973
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 2: But now we remove some of those consequences. All you

974
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 2: gotta do is say you're afraid, and all of a sudden,

975
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: someone rings your doorbell. Fuck you. Someone comes into your driveway,

976
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 2: shoots you from twenty meters out. Someone steals from a

977
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 2: multi billion dollar corporation, a visibly pregnant woman. I'm going

978
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 2: out there carrying my pistol. This is the moment I've

979
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 2: been waiting for. None of us can be surprised where

980
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 2: we're at, none of us, And God dog it, I

981
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 2: probably irrationally yelled at my daughter this week because all

982
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 2: of this affects us all and it all of us.

983
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 2: All of it drags us down and puts us more

984
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 2: on edge, and it affects our quality of life in

985
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 2: so many different ways. And the reason I yelled at

986
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 2: Diora ostensibly for being late to work and having a

987
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 2: dead phone, But the real reason I was yelling at

988
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 2: her was because when her phone died, I can't see her.

989
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 2: It doesn't show me your location, and I knew she

990
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 2: was traveling through the city and just seeing that I'm

991
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 2: in Kansas City, She's in New York and last location

992
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 2: was forty minutes ago outside of morning Side Park. And

993
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 2: it's goddamn terrifying and is heightened because you're a black woman. Yes,

994
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 2: But would I be scared no matter what. That Caitlyn

995
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 2: Gillis girl was with her friends going to a friend's house.

996
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 2: The homeowner shot her, killed her. Ralph Yarrel was a

997
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 2: I think I don't know if it's clarinet, was some insactophone,

998
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 2: whatever instrument he played, A great musician from seemingly an

999
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,479
Speaker 2: amazing family. Just listening to his mom, his mom, Ralph

1000
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: Yarl's mom. Ralph Yarrel was shot twice. Is would talk

1001
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 2: to the President yesterday. Is a seemingly perfect student. He's

1002
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,919
Speaker 2: asked by Gail King this morning about she's asked about

1003
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: her son, and she's basically like aside from the fact

1004
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 2: that he stinks at English. He's a great kid. She

1005
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 2: was such a lovely mother daughter moment. You could just

1006
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 2: tell the type of mom she was. She was like,

1007
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 2: we just argue about English. He doesn't like doing his

1008
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 2: English homework. It's like, lady, is that what we're talking

1009
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 2: about here? He was going to go pick up his

1010
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 2: twin siblings and got shot. And I know that. You know,

1011
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: we're really really concerned right now about protecting kids. We

1012
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 2: are we are grooming has become the biggest threat in

1013
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 2: the world, drag Queen's big threat. The number one cause

1014
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 2: of death of children in this for the first time

1015
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 2: ever is not cancer, is not heart disease, is not

1016
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 2: car accidents. It's guns of children. The number one cause

1017
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 2: of death is guns. And so yeah, what happened in

1018
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 2: my hometown. Of course, race is wrapped in every bit

1019
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 2: of it. But the easy off ramp of that story

1020
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 2: is old racist man shoots young black boy. Police force

1021
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 2: in the beginning seemingly might let him get away with it,

1022
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 2: community outrage, now charged, hopefully soon arrested. But pretending that

1023
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 2: story is not related to all these other stories and

1024
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: the way the media gets us scared, and the way

1025
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 2: the politicians exploit it, and the way we allow the

1026
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: worst actors amongst us to act with impunity that misses it,

1027
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 2: and it's goddamn frustrate man, and it's scared. Hug your

1028
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 2: family type, tell him you love him. And if you're

1029
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 2: a law biden, secondment loving gun owner, I don't. I

1030
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 2: have no quarrel with you none. But if you are

1031
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: someone who is so scared of walking down the street

1032
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 2: you can't do without a pistol, do yourself a favor.

1033
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: Go to your local bar this weekend, have a few drinks,

1034
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 2: make sure no one's armed, and talk a little trash

1035
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 2: to one of the bigger guys in there, and get

1036
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 2: punched in the face and realize, not the worst thing

1037
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 2: that's ever happened. Getting your ass kicked not that bad sucks.

1038
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 2: Usually feel better by the next day. But if you're

1039
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 2: so god doog afraid that someone might hit you, that

1040
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 2: someone's coming to kick your door in, that someone who

1041
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 2: hasn't yet gotten out of their car on your rural driveway.

1042
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 2: If you're so afraid that you shoot first, answer questions later,

1043
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 2: and believe the state's gonna be on your side because

1044
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 2: of these perverse standid ground rules, then deal with your

1045
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 2: own issue, get some goddog courage and put your gun away.

1046
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 2: Talk to you all Thursday. What's wrong
