<v Speaker 2>first episode where the NBA Playoffs this season ever got going.

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>It has already been an unbelievable three days. We are

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 2>going to be lighting a damn beam shortly. The Lakers

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>are going to a title. The Warriors might be cooked forever.

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 2>The East is wide open. It's just been a brilliant

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>first few days of the NBA Playoffs. Couldn't be more exciting,

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>couldn't be better. We also have a new highest paid

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 2>player in the NFL. We have WWE style stumps. We

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 2>have so much to get into and at the end

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>of today's show, We are going to talk about some

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>real world stuff as there was a tragedy in my

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>hometown while I was there this past weekend and it actually,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>to me, is a symptom of a far larger issue.

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>So we will get into that at the end of

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the show. But before we do any of that, For

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 2>people that have missed last few episodes and they're like, hey,

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>where's the tall goof, that's Demonse. He's my typical co host.

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 2>He has moved to Los Angeles, sent some bizarre tweets,

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 2>gone to a Dodger game, bought a car, got an apartment,

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 2>started his office job at Fox. He will be back

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>in a few months. For the next few weeks. In

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>his stead is his younger sister, Deora. Deora, you did

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>your first show on a regular grading scale would have

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>been a six and a half out of ten. On

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>a first show grading scale, you get an eight and

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>a half. Your second show was a solid eight out

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>of ten on no curve. We're gonna see if we

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>can continue the upward trajectory today. Why not. I complimented

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>you eight out of ten on your second show ever

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>was great. So Diora will be the one guiding the

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>show shortly. But first, and don't forget high energy and

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>nunci eight loud. Let's let's do this. Let's do this.

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>What's not on today's show. Not on the show today

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>is his triple j Jaron Jackson Junior winning the Defensive

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Player of the Year, the Texans listening to golfers for

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the number two pick, and Dan Snyder is selling the Commanders,

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>which matt Ford I think called the greatest day in

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>his life as a Washington Commanders fan. Shout out to

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>matt Ford for being the only Washington Commanders fan I know.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Good for him. Now to the matt Ford, by the way,

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>as our fearless leader, our fearless leader used to be

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 2>a guy.

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 3>What was this?

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Gab Gabe got something? I'm not sure. He doesn't really

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>come around that often anymore. Theoretically he's the boss, but

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 2>matt Ford has taken over for him succession style forced

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>him out. All right, Diorra, what are we doing to

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>start the show today? Actually, I know what we're starting

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 2>with today, but you go ahead and tell the arts, okay.

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 3>All right, So let's start with the game from late

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 3>last night, King's Warriors.

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Ye.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 3>In two great games, the Kings outplayed the Warriors down

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 3>the struts and the beam, and in Game two, Draymond

0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 3>showed how rattled Golden State was getting ejected for a

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>w w E style stomp.

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, first of all, great energy, great job. Second of all,

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>look at the beam. Look at the beam that they're putting.

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>This is why you should watch on YouTube for these

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 2>added elements. All right, go ahead and ask the question.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Will this young team be the be the one to

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>end the Warriors old man dynasty?

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the answer is yes, and that's big picture, that's macro.

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's go micro. How is this happening? Why are the

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Kings up to nothing? Well, and this is where I'm sorry,

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>but I've gotta throw some shade if I may, I

0:04:55.360 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>gotta throw a little shade at not. I think basketball

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>podcasters actually do a really good job of watching the

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>entire league. I don't know that many sports TV folks,

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>such as myself, I don't know how many of them

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 2>were actually watching the Kings this year. I know I was,

0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and I know that's why I picked the Kings to

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>win the series. That's why I said the idea that

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>playing the Kings in Round one is some grand prize, now,

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>is it? Better than playing the Suns and round one.

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I did believe that, But the idea that the Kings

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 2>were just gonna be walked all over you had and

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>watched them. This offense is undeniably historically great. You then

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>add to the fact that Dearon Fox this year was

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the most clutch player in the sport by a couple

0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 2>standard deviations, but massively leading rest of the sport in

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>clutch points the field go for all of it. You

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 2>then add to the fact that for this particular matchup,

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 2>why is this matchup so bad for the Warriors? Well

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>a couple of reasons. One is who coaches the Kings,

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Mike Brown? Where was he Golden State? So what does

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 2>he know all the Warriors' tricks, what actions they're gonna

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 2>try to run, what their counters are going to be.

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 2>You then add this fact the Warriors were a historically

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>awful road team, So the idea that the Warriors were

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna fall down two a lot of people could have

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 2>seen that coming. Well, Nick, or is it now gonna

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>be two to two after four games? Is next to

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:50.239
<v Speaker 2>her in Golden State? Maybe? However, the Kings this year

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>better on the road than at home because offense travels

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the Kings this year. I know people always say defense

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 2>travels great, offense travels everywhere. The Kings this year the

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>best road team in the entire Western Conference. So if

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the Kings have all those things going for them, why

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 2>were they just the three seeds? Well, their defense was terrible.

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>But what was terrible about their defense their room protection.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Guess what the Warriors don't do attack the bestt all

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 2>those reasons, this is a terrible matchup for Golden State.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>The Kings can shoot with them. That's how they won

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Game one, and they won Game two by locking in

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:43.119
<v Speaker 2>defensively forcing some tough shots. And then once again, both

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of these games were tied with a few minutes left,

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>and in both of these games, the Kings out executed

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Golden State down the stretch. So that's the big picture, Macro.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Now we get smaller Draymond yesterday. So Draymond can't help himself,

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>and his explanation after the game did not help his cause.

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>When he's like, well, what do you want? He didn't

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 2>say it was an accident. I slipped. I was just

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to get said, what do you want me to do?

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>They keep grabbing me, which coming from Draymond is rich

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 2>considering in game one we saw him lay on Demonts

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Sabonis to try to get the Warriors a fast break.

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 2>The idea that because Sabonus was holding his ankle, you

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:40.319
<v Speaker 2>can stop him like that is an absurdity, and Draymond

0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 2>might have cost him that game. He got a flagrant too,

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 2>and then was ejected. Do they win if he plays?

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but they have a better chance if

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 2>he plays, because they don't trust Kaminga, they don't trust

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 2>pool Looney was in foul trouble. So that then leads

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to some really good questions long term and short term

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>about Draymond. So go ahead, Diora, what do you think

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>this means for his future? Well, he might be suspended

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.359
<v Speaker 2>for game three. I believe what he did is suspendable.

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think given his history, he can get any

0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 2>benefit of the doubt. And I knows they might say, well,

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 2>we threw him out of game two, so do we

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>really need suspend him. I think an intentional, full force

0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>stump on a player's chest is a suspendable offense. So

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>that's the short term future. The long term future is

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and I said this two weeks ago, but nobody wanted

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 2>to listen and now, and I guess I should take

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.439
<v Speaker 2>this as a compliment, but I don't when I say

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 2>things on TV and on this podcast, and then a week,

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 2>ten days, two weeks later, I turn on the competing

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>sports television network and I see what I said is

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>their topic, but with like, hey, could this be Draymond's

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.319
<v Speaker 2>last series with the Warriors? Of course it could be.

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it will be. He has a player option

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 2>after this year. I believe if he opts in, then

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>obviously he's got another year with him. But I think

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 2>he's going to opt out and ask for a new deal,

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 2>and I do not think Golden State's gonna give it

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>to him. The year can't start with Draymond sucker punching

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 2>a teammate and then come close to ending with him

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 2>being thrown out of a playoff game for a cheap shot,

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 2>and all throughout the middle, the team's mediocre because they

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>can't win road games, because they can't defend, because their

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 2>emotional leader, Draymond has lost his authority to lead because

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 2>he sucker pucks a teammate and he's not as effected

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>mentally as he once was. And then say yeah, that's

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a guy I want to give one hundred million dollars

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 2>two into his mid to late thirties. Not gonna happen.

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 2>So the Warriors as we know them are I believe

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>in their final days, Steph will be there, play will

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 2>be there, Wiggins will be there. Pool even if they

0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>don't want him, there is gonna be there. But that

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>core Steph, Clay Draymond. They went to six finals, they

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>won four titles. I think they have about ten days

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 2>left together, and I think we're gonna see the final

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 2>game that they play together. It's gonna happen in Northern California,

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>either in their arena or in the King's Arena here

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 2>in the next ten to twelve days, and it's gonna

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>be one of the major storylines of the summer. You

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>have one more follow up I see in the rundown

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you think the Kings are the Jags of the NBA?

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 2>For me, it is very interestingct thing. They're not my

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 2>favorite team, but I do actually respect them the way

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the media refused to. Also similarly, I

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 2>picked the Jags, who were the home team in Round

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 2>one of the playoffs, the home underdog to beat the Chargers.

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.719
<v Speaker 2>They did that, but then I said their story was

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>going to end because the next round they were playing

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 2>my team, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kings are the

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:39.479
<v Speaker 2>home team playing, but they're the underdogs playing the Warriors.

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I picked them for the next round. They're playing my

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>team for the time being, the Lakers, and I will

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 2>pick against them there. So there's a lot of a

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of similarities.

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 3>So yes or no for me?

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Kind of the Kings have a beam, the Jags have

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>a prince, and like the damn beam, look at that beam?

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Do your look at it? And the beam we have

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>in studio on television today is going to be glorious.

0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess there are some similarities there as well. For

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the Jags, I brought in the trumpeters. For the Kings,

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 2>we bought an industrial sized beam. It's great, all right,

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 2>all right? Do you or I almost messed up there.

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the next topic and keep up this

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>great energy. You are doing excellent. This is how nine

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 2>out of ten just demands a month to get a

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>nine out of ten. Next.

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the Lakers star duo of and Austin Reeves

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:34.199
<v Speaker 3>and Ruey.

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's their star duo. I get it.

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, go ahead, that's incredible on Sunday, and with the

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Grizzlies down three starters, could Lebron actually advance? Or are

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 3>you and are you already planning a parade because you

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 3>know you're always on the Lebron's side, or do you

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 3>realize that it's just game one?

0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>What is just game one? But do I think that

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 2>thing is coming up Lebron right now?

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 3>But do you always thinks I think things are always

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 3>coming not.

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Always, more often than not, yes, and more often than not,

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm correct. I mean, the guy went to eight straight finals,

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>nine finals and ten years, won four titles in a

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>nine year stretch. Was pretty good. I mean, he's pretty good.

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>When the years he didn't win the make the one

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>year he didn't make the finals, he got hurt. Uh.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Then two of those finals losses came against the greatest,

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, arguably not arguably inarguably the greatest offensive team ever,

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors when they added Kevin Durant. But let's talk,

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 2>let's talk about the hero. And now this couldn't be

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>breaking better for the Lakers. Oh gosh, just couldn't be. No,

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 2>it just couldn't be. The Suns you're seeing their lack

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>of depth and chemistry. Already. The Warriors, who a lot

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>of people thought were scary, are down oh two. The Kings,

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 2>who I respect, But what did I say was the

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 2>King's biggest issue? Rim defense, interior defense. The Lakers have

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis and Lebron James, and then you have the Grizzlies,

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 2>who now John Morant looks like he broke a few fingers.

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 2>He might be out for Game two. The Lakers already,

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 2>he'll only be out for Game two. I'm not sure,

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>but I think he will be out for Game two.

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 2>And we'll see if they try to do a rap

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. But it's on his shooting hand, so even

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 2>if he plays, he's going to be less effective. They

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>were already down two of their bigs and they just

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 2>won a game getting a by his standards. See, yeah,

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 2>call it a C level game from Lebron James, the

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>old Lebron feel out game, not gonna do too much,

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 2>try to get shots for other people. See what the

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>defense is trying to do. When Lebron teams win game

0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>one of a series, they're twenty seven and two in

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>those series and they just won game one, and John

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>might be out for Game two, and they could not

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 2>only steal home court, but they could go up two

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 2>to oh on the road on Memphis tomorrow. Yeah, and

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 2>then I believe you're gonna get a Kings team that

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>is coming off, you know, the greatest moment in the

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 2>franchise in twenty some years. Maybe a bit of an

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 2>emotional letdown. It's a tough matchup for the Kings against

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers. Yeah, I'm right now. I feel like the

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are the favorites in the West, and then out.

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 3>East, are like your favorite in the East.

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 2>In the West, you mean, but maybe we're in the

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 2>East though we are. Oh, I see what you mean. Yes,

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>we are in the ease, and then out East Giannie

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>is banged up. Harden unfortunately, is looking like playoff Harden.

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Now the Celtics are looming. But I'll tell you right now, man,

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the idea of a Lakers Celtics NBA Finals, oh my goodness,

0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 2>old rivals, it'd be unbelievable. So yeah, I do think

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:07.000
<v Speaker 2>everything's coming up Lakers. Yeah, I'm planning the parade. And

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 2>if they could make quick work of Memphis and get

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 2>some rest going into Round two, Oh my gosh, the

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 2>whole league was put on notice by the fact that

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Lebron was in third gear that entire game and the

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 2>Lakers won going away. That is a scary sign for everybody,

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.280
<v Speaker 2>all right, Next.

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, while the Kings were enjoying their first playoff win

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 3>in seventeen years, you did some digging. Steph had a

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 3>chance in the final minute for the Warriors in Game one,

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 3>but missed again, then had some bricks in game three.

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Game two. Yeah, that's not your fault. It says game three,

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 2>but it should say game two.

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh, game two. You did some research to see just

0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 3>how bad Steph. Steph isn't the clutch What did you find?

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, so this is actually not really an indictment on

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>step Steph has not been great at the most clutch

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 2>playoff shots in his career. But I was doing this

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:18.040
<v Speaker 2>research to see how Steph rings and then the same

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 2>thing kept popping up, and so I think we can

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 2>You guys can throw on the screen whatever the first

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 2>tweet of mine that you have, and we can discuss it.

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Because so this was the first one I wrote after Saturday.

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Steph is now three or thirteen on game tying or

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>go ahead three's in the final minute of playoff games.

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Here's the full list of guys who have taken ten

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 2>such shots. So this is the data only goes back

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to ninety six ninety seven, and everyone who's taken there's

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 2>only ten guys who have taken. Again, the scenario here

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:57.040
<v Speaker 2>was three pointers attempted to tire or take the lead

0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 2>in the final minute of playoff games. Ray Allen was

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:06.680
<v Speaker 2>ten of sixteen, which is an absurdity, Damian Lillard's five

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 2>of ten, which is great, and then you have Ross

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 2>who's one of fourteen, not surprising, Durant three of sixteen,

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>steph three of thirteen. But what jumped out to me

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>was the late great Kobe Bryant, who everyone who argues

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Kobe should be in the goat conversation, Kobe's better than Lebron.

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.879
<v Speaker 2>The number one thing they go to is killer in

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the clutch. Who do you want taking a shot? And

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>over the last twenty six years, the only person worse

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 2>at game tying or go ahead threes in the last

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 2>minute of the playoff games than Kobe Bryant was Russell

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Westbrook Kobe three of seventeen. And that then brought me

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 2>to my next tweet, which was again same timeframe last

0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven years as far back as I have the

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.920
<v Speaker 2>day all shots, not just threes, in the final minute

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 2>of playoff games to tie or take the lead, Harden

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 2>worst of theirs. There's twenty two players that qualify on

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 2>our screen right now. It actually cuts off the number

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 2>one guy, which is Ray Allen, the only he's the

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 2>only guy above fifty percent. He's at fifty two percent.

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>But let me go into this for a moment, because

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 2>James Harden the worst two of seventeen that is tracks

0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.639
<v Speaker 2>with what you remember Russell Westbrooks second worst three of

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. Again, this is playoff games, tie or take

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 2>the lead, final minute, all shots. And then the second

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 2>best twenty one of forty four is Lebron and the

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:58.439
<v Speaker 2>eighth worst twelve of forty four is Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan.

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.360
<v Speaker 2>And to be fair to Michael, there's his last years

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 2>of his career is on there at five of thirteen.

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 2>But that right there is a jarring stat that I

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 2>put on television yesterday and Kevin Wilds, I don't know

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 2>if he was joking or not, said I rejected, which

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 2>is Kobe played twenty years. Lebron has played twenty years.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 2>The universally accepted narrative is Kobe was a fearless killer

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.119
<v Speaker 2>who always took the shot and was as good of

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 2>a clutch player ever. Lebron. This is one of the

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 2>universally accepted narrative. Lebron, this is one of his weaknesses.

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 2>He looks to pass, he doesn't take those shots, and

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 2>he's not good at them. Yet they both have played.

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Kobe played twenty Lebron is in the midst of your

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:55.439
<v Speaker 2>twenty amazingly shots in playoff games. Put that tweet back up,

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 2>if you would please, and then we'll go to the

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.919
<v Speaker 2>next one. Shots in playoff games to tire take the

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 2>lead in the final minute. They both took the exact

0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 2>same number forty four in a twenty year career. Kobe

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 2>made twelve, that's twenty seven percent. Lebron made twenty one.

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>That's forty seven percent, almost double second best percentage of

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 2>anyone in basketball only to Ray Allen.

0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 3>You seem really passionate when talking about your best friend.

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, no, I'm passionate when listen. I do a sports

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:35.120
<v Speaker 2>talk show, and he's the greatest athlete of all time,

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:38.400
<v Speaker 2>So it does generate some passion. But I'm also passionate

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:43.399
<v Speaker 2>in debunking myths. So then so again, exact same number

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 2>of attempts in their career. Kobe was below average at them,

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Lebron the second best of anyone. Go ahead, go ahead.

0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 3>But it's weird how two of the most clutch shots

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 3>of Lebron's career were made by Ray Allen and Kyrie Irvy.

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Yet well again over the course of and two of

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the most clutch shots of Michael Jordan's career made by

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Steve Current John Paxton. The producers right now are setting

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>you up to fail because they are feeding you information

0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to debate with me about something that is not going

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to work out. Well, yes, I agree, I know you'll

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.639
<v Speaker 2>always well, no, I agree. I've always thought it's unfair

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.359
<v Speaker 2>that Lebron's teammates are allowed to make shots. It would

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>be much more fair for the rest of the league.

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Was like, hey, you're too good, your teammates can't make shots.

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 2>But then we get to the next thing, which is

0:23:28.200 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 2>someone tweeted to me closing out a game is not

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 2>just about the final minute. Same list for the final

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 2>six minutes would be far more interesting. So I give

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 2>you that, which is again the context is the final

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:48.200
<v Speaker 2>six minutes. Same thing, last twenty seven years. Everyone that's

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:52.320
<v Speaker 2>taken at least sixty shots in the final six minutes

0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 2>of a playoff game to tie or take the lead.

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Once again. Not good for Steph he's better only than

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Russ He's thirty three percent. Not good for Kobe he

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 2>was thirty eight of one point fifteen for thirty three percent.

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 2>And great for Lebron second best of everyone only to

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Duncan fifty nine to one forty three for forty one percent.

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 2>So final six minutes, final half of the final quarter

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 2>of playoff games, the entirety of both of their careers

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Kobe took has taken one hundred and fifteen of those.

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's taken one hundred and forty of them. Lebron's made more,

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:35.640
<v Speaker 2>made a higher percentage. So then someone else tweets to me, now,

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.680
<v Speaker 2>do five seconds or less. So I gave one minute.

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>They're like, no, that's too small, so give six minutes.

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 2>And it still shows Kobe below average, Lebron best or

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:48.119
<v Speaker 2>second best. So then it says, all right, give me,

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 2>now let's go the other way. Final five seconds, So

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I do. Okay, everyone that's taken at least six shots

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 2>in the final five seconds of a playoff game to

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 2>tire take the lead. And what we see is Steph

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 2>is one for six. And by the way, again on

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.120
<v Speaker 2>if you're watching on the show, they cut it off

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 2>after Lebron, the top two are actually Chris Middleton and

0:25:12.359 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller was five to nine, Chris Middleton

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:18.880
<v Speaker 2>was three of six. But the numbers. Kobe in these

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 2>situations final five seconds of playoff games to tire or

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>take the lead, took that shot eighteen times, made four

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>of them. Amazingly, Lebron also took has taken that shot

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 2>exactly eighteen times, made seven of them. Hard shot to me,

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Hardens one for seven. Ross's won for six, STEP's won

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 2>for six. Durant hasn't even taken six of these. I'm sorry, No,

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 2>that's wrong. Durant's two of eleven. Pardon me, but again,

0:25:56.480 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and this is where people just aren't able to process

0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>the facts five seconds anything.

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 3>The only one who can process the fact.

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think if you go, if you go, tell people,

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 2>it's inarguable that Lebron is the most clutch player of

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 2>his generation, and that he is one of the most

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 2>clutch players ever while Kobe was inefficient and not effective

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 2>at these shots, people will no one will believe you,

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And people say Lebron's scared to take them. Takes the

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 2>same amount as Kobe, no matter how you slice it,

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:39.240
<v Speaker 2>the same amount as more five seconds, one minute, six minutes,

0:26:40.480 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter of playoff games, tire take the lead. People

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 2>just don't want to hear it. It is not what

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 2>they want to remember. And that then does bring me

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 2>briefly to we all, everyone watching this right now saw

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the entire of Kobe Bryant's career, or almost everyone Watson

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>probably did, and yet I believe they probably have a

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:12.080
<v Speaker 2>hard time believing this data, like, that's not what I remember.

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>So let's extrapolate that. What does that mean for how

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 2>we talk about Michael Jordan When a lot of us,

0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, weren't locked into the NBA in the eighties,

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have league pass and Jordan's unbelievable, you know,

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>obviously one of the three greatest players ever. You can

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:37.439
<v Speaker 2>make an argument for number two, you can make an

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 2>argument for number one. But how much of the legend

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 2>is what we want to remember rather than what actually happened?

0:27:48.480 --> 0:27:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Because with Kobe clutch shots it's a huge part of it,

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 2>and when Lebron not being clutch, it's the entirety of it.

0:27:57.600 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, last topic, go ahead.

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yesterday Jalen Hurts agreed to a five year, two

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:08.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred and fifty five million dollars deal. This now makes

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 3>him the highest plate paid player in the NFL. Two questions,

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 3>how does someone without a RING or MVP deserve that

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 3>kind of money and how does this affect Lamar Jackson's negotiations?

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, I answer room in a reverse order. Lamar,

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it would be smart for Lamar to go

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to the Ravens and say, I'll take that exact deal,

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:32.560
<v Speaker 2>that deal all take. I know he wants a fully

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 2>guaranteed deal. I think that would be a smart deal

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to take. The argument is, well, he's been to a

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, Lamar hasn't. Lamar's won an MVP. He hasn't.

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Lamar actually has finished his contract out, so he has

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 2>a little more leverage. Jalen had a year left, so

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 2>he has a little less leverage. That deal would be

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a great deal for Lamar. I don't know if he's

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:55.000
<v Speaker 2>going to do that. Joe Burrow's got to be thrilled

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Burrow's gonna get more than jail. They've both been to

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl. Joe Burrows had two good year years,

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Jalen's only had one. Justin Herbert's probably like, Okay, i

0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>might not get quite that much, but I'm gonna be

0:29:07.360 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 2>at fifty. Problem. The other person or people who should

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 2>be thrilled by this are Chiefs fans, because the price

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 2>of the brick is going up, as Marlow Stanfield would say,

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 2>and Mahomes is stable at forty five million a year.

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 2>So right now Mahomes is the fifth highest paid quarterback

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 2>in football.

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 3>You don't think he should be the most paid.

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, of course he should be, but it's in a

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 2>salary cap sport where you only have so many dollars

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 2>to spend. It's a huge advantage for the team that

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 2>he isn't for the Chiefs ability to win super Bowls.

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's my point. He's the best player in the

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 2>league by a mile. He's the fifth highest paid quarterback.

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Burrow's about to get a new deal, Herbert's about to

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:55.440
<v Speaker 2>get a new deal. Lamar might get a new deal.

0:29:55.720 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 2>That means when this season starts, Patrick Mahomes is going

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to be either the seventh or eighth highest paid quarterback

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>right now. And this is a jarring fact. There is

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 2>a bigger gap an annual salary between Patrick Mahomes and

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Hurts. Then there is an annual salary between Patrick

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes and Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones makes five million a

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:32.640
<v Speaker 2>year less than Mahomes. Mahomes makes six million a year

0:30:32.720 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 2>less than Hurts. Talk about planning parades, play in the

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 2>dynasty in Kansas City. You have the greatest player ever

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and he's on a massive bargain. I fix the NBA's

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>charge epidemic. And we talk Sons Clippers. That's next. Then

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.400

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 2>stopped on the field was given CPR and resuscitated on

0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 2>NBA playoffs. Go right ahead.

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, the Sun's Clippers Game two is tonight. Yeah, Katie

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 3>has now lost seven straight playoff game.

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 2>You were at his last win really. Yeah, that's the

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:06.600

<v Speaker 2>hug at the end of that. They went up three

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to two. They then lost Game six, lost Game seven.

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Last year they played the Celtics in Round one, they

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>lost four to zero, and then they lost this one.

0:33:24.200 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 2>That's seven straight and nine of ten playoff losses for him.

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead in Game one, Westbrook shot three of

0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 3>nineteen but somehow was the Clippers hero. Would k D

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:40.960
<v Speaker 3>losing in round one again with another super team be

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 3>a legacy killer?

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 2>All right? I don't think. I don't consider this quite

0:33:44.480 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 2>a super team. And Kadie, no matter what he does,

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 2>is one of the at worst sixteen greatest players ever.

0:33:55.680 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, okay, at worst, but going out in your

0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the tail end of your prime back to back years

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 2>in round one would not be good. Last year, he

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:17.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't play well in that series. It was his worst

0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:21.200
<v Speaker 2>playoff series of his career. But you didn't really blame him,

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 2>pardon me overall, because Kyrie submarine that season with the

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 2>back stuff and then the Harden trade happened, and they

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 2>just felt snake bit. This year, the Nets were playing well,

0:34:36.680 --> 0:34:39.879
<v Speaker 2>he demanded a trade. He gets to the exact team

0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.320
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to get to, and they're playing a Clippers

0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 2>team that is without its second best player. If he

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 2>were to lose this series, that is devastating. All of

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:55.840
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, you start at talking about at their peak,

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 2>who would you rather have? Kawhi or kd It would

0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 2>be an unbelievable time in the Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant,

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, saga it. I do not believe the Suns

0:35:07.600 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 2>can lose this series. I think it's almost impossible. I

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.759
<v Speaker 2>think that Russ, while he was brilliant aside from the

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:18.000
<v Speaker 2>three of nineteen in Game one, is not going to

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 2>be able to duplicate that. And I do think that

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Duran's gotta be more assertive offensively. He just has to.

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 2>You can't play forty five minutes and take fifteen shots.

0:35:31.160 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think the Clippers can beat the Suns

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 2>four times in seven games. What I do think is

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.920
<v Speaker 2>this That game showed you why I don't think this

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Suns team can win the title. Chris Paul is in

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:49.240
<v Speaker 2>a totally different phase of his career. I don't trust

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Ayton and the Sun's bench is non existent. That their

0:35:55.200 --> 0:36:01.399
<v Speaker 2>bench players played fifty three minutes total. That's not a lot,

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 2>by the way, fifty three minutes off your bench in

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Game one. In those fifty three minutes they were combined,

0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 2>three of twelve from the field had like two assists.

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.640
<v Speaker 2>So you only have two hundred and forty minutes total

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 2>to go around forty eight minute game. Five players on

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:19.360
<v Speaker 2>the court at all times, five times forty two forty,

0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So fifty three of your two hundred and forty minutes

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 2>were taken up by guys who contributed nothing. That's not

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:30.120
<v Speaker 2>a recipe to win, which just not now is it

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 2>a recipe? Can they get through Round one with it? Yeah?

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:36.040
<v Speaker 2>But Denver might be able to give them real trouble,

0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:39.160
<v Speaker 2>And you bet your ass the Lakers, if they're healthy

0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 2>as deep as they are, can give them real trouble.

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:49.399
<v Speaker 2>So I yes. Losing in Round one would make the

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:53.919
<v Speaker 2>post Warriors part of Kevin Durant's career bizarre. It would

0:36:53.920 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 2>have been a year missed with an injury, then going

0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 2>up to nothing and three to two on Milwaukee and

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:08.280
<v Speaker 2>losing that series, then swept in round one, then demanding

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 2>a trade and losing in round one. It wouldn't kill

0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:14.959
<v Speaker 2>his legacy, obviously wouldn't help it. But I don't think

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:17.279
<v Speaker 2>that's going to happen all right next.

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 3>We sadly saw a lot of injuries over the first

0:37:23.200 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 3>weekend of the playoffs. Both the Honis and Jaw took

0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:33.000
<v Speaker 3>hard falls after defenders were trying to draw charges. Yep,

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Sabonas took a hit going for one last night again

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 3>against Steph two. It's time for Nick makes it right.

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 3>How would you fix this?

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:46.640
<v Speaker 2>He's got to ban week side charges. It's very simple.

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 3>You've been on the banning stuff lately.

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I have been, but I've been on banning weekside

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:56.839
<v Speaker 2>charges for five years. Guys. Weekside charges were popularized by

0:37:56.960 --> 0:38:01.719
<v Speaker 2>unathletic college basketball players as a way to try to

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:06.040
<v Speaker 2>even the score. Essentially with high flying, great athletes, they

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 2>run over there and get beneath them. It's the most

0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 2>dangerous play in the sport. We changed the way you're

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:15.759
<v Speaker 2>allowed to close out shooters because Zazo put his foot

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>beneath Kawhi. I'm not banning all charges. If you are

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 2>guarding someone head up and he goes through your chest,

0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:26.239
<v Speaker 2>that's a charge. If someone pushes off, that's a charge.

0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 2>But if someone beats their man and is rising up

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:32.880
<v Speaker 2>for a dunk or a layup, and you're guarding someone

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 2>else and you run over and get stationary just so

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you guys can he can run into you while he's

0:38:39.520 --> 0:38:41.399
<v Speaker 2>in the air and you're on the ground. It's an

0:38:41.520 --> 0:38:45.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously dangerous play. Well, Nick, what would you have defenders do?

0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Contest the shot, meet him at the apex, go up

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 2>jump with him. Now, are we worried that that's tilting

0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the scales too far towards the offense. Sure, then maybe

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 2>adjust a bit how much contact you allow in the

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:08.960
<v Speaker 2>defenders favor if they go up for a block, maybe

0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:12.560
<v Speaker 2>don't call. Maybe soften what is and what is not

0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a foul if you're contesting a shot. But it is

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:22.280
<v Speaker 2>an obviously dangerous play that I feel like unathletic college

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 2>basketball players made their careers on, and then it poisoned

0:39:26.960 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 2>the NBA over the last fifteen years. You can't have

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:36.960
<v Speaker 2>John Moran because this is what Anthony Davis did. Was smart,

0:39:38.080 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 2>but it's insane. Anthony Davis is six ' ten, the

0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:48.080
<v Speaker 2>best defender in the sport some nights. Right. John Morant

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:51.240
<v Speaker 2>is six ' three. John Morant goes up for a dunk.

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis can jump with him and try to block it. Instead,

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:59.879
<v Speaker 2>he stands there, so Job falls into him. Now, joh

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 2>he was five feet off the ground falling straight down,

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:05.640
<v Speaker 2>and he did, and he broke his fingers. It looks

0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:09.920
<v Speaker 2>like Jahan is similar situation. He goes up, someone cuts

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:15.400
<v Speaker 2>underguts him, he falls and bruises his tailbone. Don't incentivize

0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:20.000
<v Speaker 2>that level of dangerous play. It's that simple. Ban the

0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:22.759
<v Speaker 2>weak side charge. All right, what game will we play?

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 3>Were playing? All in our fold? Yeah, so first one,

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Knicks fans were devastated to miss out on Donovan Mitchell,

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 3>but Jalen Brunson has them looking primed to beat the

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Calves in round one. All in our fold, the Knicks

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 3>are better off with Brunson than Mitchell.

0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna fold that. I still believe the Calves are

0:40:45.400 --> 0:40:49.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna win the series. However, this is not an easy

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:53.440
<v Speaker 2>of a fold as it was six months ago, because

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Jalen has been exceptional. Now, Donovan's been actually even better

0:40:58.280 --> 0:41:00.600
<v Speaker 2>as a calf than he ever was as Utah Jazz

0:41:00.800 --> 0:41:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Donovan is still I think pretty clear cut the better

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:11.879
<v Speaker 2>of the two players. However, if Jalen Brunson continues on

0:41:11.920 --> 0:41:18.160
<v Speaker 2>this upward trajectory, if the question is, would you rather

0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:24.719
<v Speaker 2>have Jalen Brunson, who you signed in free agency and

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:28.279
<v Speaker 2>therefore didn't trade anything any of your young players or

0:41:28.280 --> 0:41:32.960
<v Speaker 2>your picks, or have Donovan Mitchell but have traded away

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:37.880
<v Speaker 2>all of those assets, that is becoming a real debate.

0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 2>If Jalen can give you eighty percent of what Donovan

0:41:42.160 --> 0:41:46.000
<v Speaker 2>can give you, but you keep all those assets to

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:49.759
<v Speaker 2>then trade for a different star, that might work out

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:52.239
<v Speaker 2>well for the nixt So I don't think Jalen's as

0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:54.399
<v Speaker 2>good of a player as Donovan. I don't think anybody does,

0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:58.800
<v Speaker 2>but he's played well enough that it's close ish enough.

0:41:59.680 --> 0:42:03.359
<v Speaker 2>And the those young players have developed, most notably Demonsee's

0:42:03.400 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 2>former summer league teammate, Quinton Grimes. It's unbelievable. This kid

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:09.919
<v Speaker 2>that demonse played with for basketball university was two years

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:12.800
<v Speaker 2>younger than Demonse's now one of the key contributors for

0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the Knicks. H Emmanuel quickly. RJ hasn't developed obviously the

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:20.040
<v Speaker 2>way you would have hoped, but still that does become

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 2>a real debate, and credit to the Knicks, who I

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.839
<v Speaker 2>probably have slightly underrated throughout the year. Maybe I still

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:26.880
<v Speaker 2>am because I think they're gonna lose to the Calves,

0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:31.320
<v Speaker 2>but as a great opening playoff win. Next.

0:42:31.640 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so we mentioned Giannis's back injury, but come on,

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:40.319
<v Speaker 3>Milwaukee is stacked without him. There's no excuse that they

0:42:40.440 --> 0:42:45.359
<v Speaker 3>dropped game one to an eight seed at home. All

0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.799
<v Speaker 3>in our fold, the Bucks win for one.

0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:49.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you're gonna win for one. I think

0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you're win for two. So I'm gonna fold on that. Listen.

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I I respect Miami. I've been saying this. I was

0:42:57.840 --> 0:42:59.520
<v Speaker 2>saying it all the end of the regular season when

0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 2>it looked like my was gonna play Boston. Eric Spoltzer's

0:43:02.120 --> 0:43:06.799
<v Speaker 2>the best coach in the NBA. Jimmy Butler is like

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the twenty fourth best player in the league in the

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:12.560
<v Speaker 2>regular season and like the eleventh best player in the

0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 2>league in the playoffs. He gets better in the playoffs.

0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:20.280
<v Speaker 2>They're a real team, and Bam can present some proms

0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:22.160
<v Speaker 2>for Giannis when he's healthy, let alone when he's coming

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.000
<v Speaker 2>off an injury. So I respect the Heat. Heat went

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:28.479
<v Speaker 2>to the finals three years ago. They were the number

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 2>one seed last year in game seven of the Eastern

0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Amage Finals. I respect them, but with Tyler Hero breaking

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 2>his hand and some of the things they're gonna to

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 2>deal with, they can't beat the Bucks. But they're a tough,

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 2>tough round one matchup, all right.

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Next, Okay, the seventy six ers are cruising. But James

0:43:47.719 --> 0:43:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Harden only had eight points and thirty eight minutes Monday.

0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that's rough. Yeah, it's not great.

0:43:53.880 --> 0:43:56.960
<v Speaker 3>So all letterfold playoff. Harden has returned.

0:43:56.960 --> 0:43:58.960
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't look great. And this is my picks, come

0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:01.400
<v Speaker 2>out of the East and be It's been spectacular in

0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:03.600
<v Speaker 2>both of these games. And the way he read what

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the defense was doing last night and passed the open

0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 2>man and was great on he was just great. And

0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I know Harden's dealing with his achilles, but this is

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:18.879
<v Speaker 2>a rough spot right now for Philly and they don't

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:23.200
<v Speaker 2>need Harden to be MVP level hard, but in order

0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Celtics, he's got to get right quickly,

0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:30.399
<v Speaker 2>and that is a legitimate concern, right all right.

0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:33.319
<v Speaker 3>I think that was like the first time we were

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:33.960
<v Speaker 3>less than.

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:38.680
<v Speaker 2>A minute over more than a minute. Oh yeah, that

0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:42.240
<v Speaker 2>first time, we were less than ten minutes over. Probably Uh,

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that's because I deleted two of the questions. Remember we

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:46.680
<v Speaker 2>were gonna have two more. I knew we're gonna be

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.359
<v Speaker 2>able to hit it. Okay, So we're gonna talk some

0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:53.920
<v Speaker 2>real life stuff. There was a tragedy in my hometown.

0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:57.960
<v Speaker 2>There was a tragedy in upstate New York. There was

0:44:58.360 --> 0:45:02.399
<v Speaker 2>a miscarriage of justice happening right now in Texas, and

0:45:02.480 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 2>they're all related, and we're gonna talk about all of it.

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:07.880
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't want to hear that, join us

0:45:07.920 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday. If you do want to hear that, I

0:45:09.600 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 2>think it'll be the best part of the podcast. We're

0:45:11.360 --> 0:45:13.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna do that next. Take a very quick break, come

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:21.719
<v Speaker 2>right back. What's right? All right? Welcome back in episode

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:26.480
<v Speaker 2>one three, What's Right with Nick? Right? So, Uh, Thursday,

0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I landed in Kansas City for me and my wife's

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:34.719
<v Speaker 2>ten year anniversary, and we were there all weekend and

0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:39.959
<v Speaker 2>by Saturday, people in the city were talking to me saying, oh, man,

0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:43.560
<v Speaker 2>so I have to get real bad here. We have

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a Trayvon situation. And I was like, I people were

0:45:47.440 --> 0:45:49.759
<v Speaker 2>already talking about the city and I'm like, what are

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:52.839
<v Speaker 2>you talking about and they said, at you know, people

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.640
<v Speaker 2>would give me different details or whatever, but we now

0:45:55.719 --> 0:45:59.160
<v Speaker 2>know exactly what happened, and what we're gonna talk about

0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 2>here is not actually just about Ralph Y'arl, the young

0:46:02.600 --> 0:46:07.600
<v Speaker 2>man who was shot and miraculously is alive in Kansas City,

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 2>because there was yesterday now or day before yesterday, a

0:46:11.239 --> 0:46:19.120
<v Speaker 2>similar tragedy in New York and this is well, just

0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:22.640
<v Speaker 2>stay tuned for it. We're gonna try to thread this needle.

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:24.520
<v Speaker 2>So if you won't know what happened in Kansay, having

0:46:24.560 --> 0:46:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Cansity is very simple. Young man, sixteen year old black

0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:31.839
<v Speaker 2>kid named Ralph Yarl was sent by his mom to

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.520
<v Speaker 2>go pick up his twin little brothers. He thought he

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:38.560
<v Speaker 2>was going to one hundred and fifteenth Street. They were

0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:41.919
<v Speaker 2>on one hundred and fifteenth Terrace or vice versa. He

0:46:42.160 --> 0:46:46.239
<v Speaker 2>pulls into the driveway, rings the doorbell and this is

0:46:46.280 --> 0:46:48.920
<v Speaker 2>not just his family story. This is now according to

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:53.239
<v Speaker 2>the Kansity Police, and an eighty four year old white

0:46:53.239 --> 0:46:56.920
<v Speaker 2>man comes to the door and within second shoots him twice,

0:46:58.200 --> 0:47:00.759
<v Speaker 2>once in the head through the door. Through the door

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:04.719
<v Speaker 2>glass door opens, one door, sees him, has his gun,

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:08.520
<v Speaker 2>shoots him twice, once in the head. Bullet fragments lodged

0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:11.919
<v Speaker 2>above his eye. His mom said this morning to Gail King,

0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:15.960
<v Speaker 2>they were in his brain, but I'm she said, frontal lobe.

0:47:16.040 --> 0:47:17.560
<v Speaker 2>But he's also home.

0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:20.239
<v Speaker 3>Now and said it hit his frontal low front and

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 3>then he was shot again, and then he.

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Was shot in his shoulder. H Amazingly he survived. Now,

0:47:27.040 --> 0:47:29.000
<v Speaker 2>his mom made it very clear, he's home, but he

0:47:29.040 --> 0:47:30.600
<v Speaker 2>has medical professionals all around.

0:47:30.719 --> 0:47:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she was like, the only reason he's home is

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:37.120
<v Speaker 3>because that the doctors is they have families are doctors.

0:47:37.160 --> 0:47:38.880
<v Speaker 2>They wanted to get him home. But he is talking.

0:47:39.239 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 2>He's talking, and President Biden called him and so this

0:47:45.920 --> 0:47:49.759
<v Speaker 2>and then and then the reason they're so again, let

0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:51.960
<v Speaker 2>me give the very short version of it. Sixteen year

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.920
<v Speaker 2>old kid is supposed to go to eleven hundred, one

0:47:55.000 --> 0:47:58.160
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifteenth Terrace, goes to eleven hundred, one hundred

0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and fifteenth Street, rings the doorbell. Eighty four year old

0:48:02.200 --> 0:48:06.320
<v Speaker 2>white man comes to the door, sees him, shoots him twice.

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:08.759
<v Speaker 3>Had the gun though before he even got to the door, of.

0:48:08.760 --> 0:48:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Course, because he knew, of course, and the kid lived.

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 2>The man called the cops. Cops brought him in, questioned

0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:22.719
<v Speaker 2>him and said, all right, well, according to the KCPD,

0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:25.160
<v Speaker 2>they claim we can't do anything until we get a

0:48:25.239 --> 0:48:30.520
<v Speaker 2>victim statement. It's not my experience at all, but fine,

0:48:30.760 --> 0:48:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and let him go. There then was massive community outrage

0:48:35.680 --> 0:48:38.920
<v Speaker 2>before it became a national story. By Sunday, they were

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:42.680
<v Speaker 2>protests in front of the house. They then charged the man,

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the eighty four year old, with first degree assault, armed

0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:52.120
<v Speaker 2>criminal action. And however, what the national media at thus

0:48:52.160 --> 0:48:53.879
<v Speaker 2>far has gotten wrong in this story is he has

0:48:53.920 --> 0:48:59.839
<v Speaker 2>not been arrested. He has been charged. So either they

0:48:59.880 --> 0:49:03.400
<v Speaker 2>are they can't find him, or they are waiting for

0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:07.000
<v Speaker 2>him to turn himself in. But as of this moment,

0:49:08.440 --> 0:49:12.360
<v Speaker 2>this man who shot this sixteen year old child for

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:16.200
<v Speaker 2>ringing his doorbell, that's not fair. He shot the sixteen

0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 2>year old child for ringing his doorbell while being black,

0:49:22.239 --> 0:49:26.680
<v Speaker 2>has not been incarcery. I don't know if he's on

0:49:26.719 --> 0:49:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the run. I don't know if the cops just haven't

0:49:28.760 --> 0:49:31.400
<v Speaker 2>managed probably can't run five right, if the cops has

0:49:31.400 --> 0:49:33.920
<v Speaker 2>haven't managed to get over to him. But that's what's happened.

0:49:33.920 --> 0:49:36.560
<v Speaker 2>But he has been charged. I assume he'll be found,

0:49:36.880 --> 0:49:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and I assume he'll go to trial. Now. His defense

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:45.520
<v Speaker 2>is I was scared, Okay, go ahead to you.

0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Or the question is what is the reason to be

0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:53.120
<v Speaker 3>scared when this kid like he's sixteen years old. He's

0:49:53.120 --> 0:49:57.000
<v Speaker 3>younger than I am, and I've seen pictures he's smaller

0:49:57.040 --> 0:49:57.560
<v Speaker 3>than I am.

0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:00.360
<v Speaker 2>And oh, I don't know if that's that. I'm not

0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:02.560
<v Speaker 2>sure if that's true. I actually think he's I think

0:50:02.560 --> 0:50:04.480
<v Speaker 2>he's a tall kid. But that doesn't matter at all.

0:50:04.600 --> 0:50:07.799
<v Speaker 3>No, but I'm saying he doesn't even look like a

0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:11.080
<v Speaker 3>threat whatsoever. And the only reason he even slightly looks

0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:13.280
<v Speaker 3>like a threat is because he's a black boy.

0:50:14.239 --> 0:50:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Obviously. I mean, I don't mean that patronized him to you.

0:50:17.440 --> 0:50:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying that clearly. And the only reason this man

0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:23.759
<v Speaker 2>was not instantly arrested is because he was an old

0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 2>white man who shot a young black boy.

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:27.800
<v Speaker 3>He didn't know what he was doing.

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:31.279
<v Speaker 2>He didn't And the if you want to say this

0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:34.719
<v Speaker 2>is more about his age than his race, maybe my

0:50:34.920 --> 0:50:39.200
<v Speaker 2>experience with certain parts of the Kansaity Police Department lead

0:50:39.239 --> 0:50:42.359
<v Speaker 2>me to feel differently, but set that aside. He got

0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:46.759
<v Speaker 2>preferential treatment due to the fact of the demographics of

0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:49.360
<v Speaker 2>who he was and the demographics of who was shot.

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:54.799
<v Speaker 2>We know that, we know that, and we also know

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.640
<v Speaker 2>let me, I want to be totally accurate here. I

0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:04.160
<v Speaker 2>feel very confident that if every part of this story

0:51:04.200 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 2>is the same, but that is a white sixteen year

0:51:06.120 --> 0:51:08.440
<v Speaker 2>oldho rings his doorbell, he does not shoot him in

0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:11.200
<v Speaker 2>the head and then in the shoulder. Before asking a question,

0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:13.720
<v Speaker 2>you can say, Nick, you can't prove it. I can't

0:51:13.719 --> 0:51:17.719
<v Speaker 2>prove it. I know it. That one is very black

0:51:17.760 --> 0:51:21.279
<v Speaker 2>and white, no pun intended. It's clear what happened there.

0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:26.680
<v Speaker 2>And anybody that wants to that is listening to this

0:51:26.800 --> 0:51:31.600
<v Speaker 2>right now and feels like anything I've said is controversial.

0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:38.080
<v Speaker 5>I if anything that I've said up to this point

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:40.680
<v Speaker 5>makes you angry enough to where you want to turn

0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:43.760
<v Speaker 5>off the podcast, I would appreciate if you do exactly

0:51:43.840 --> 0:51:49.560
<v Speaker 5>that and never turn it back, because now we.

0:51:49.680 --> 0:51:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Have something that happened in upstate New York that removes

0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the racial part of it and is somehow just as

0:51:57.080 --> 0:51:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Actually in this case, you could argue, I don't want

0:51:58.680 --> 0:52:01.120
<v Speaker 2>to say more tragic, but if type of tragic, this

0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:05.880
<v Speaker 2>girl lost her life. So in Upstate New York, Caitlin Gillis,

0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.600
<v Speaker 2>who's twenty years old, was in a r on a

0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:13.280
<v Speaker 2>rural road with friends of hers looking for another friend's house.

0:52:14.719 --> 0:52:18.399
<v Speaker 2>From the news reports there. The rural area they were

0:52:18.440 --> 0:52:21.160
<v Speaker 2>in are those long driveways where you have to basically

0:52:21.200 --> 0:52:24.120
<v Speaker 2>go deep into the driveway before you get the house.

0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:29.560
<v Speaker 2>They drive their car down the driveway and nobody even

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:32.640
<v Speaker 2>gets out. They see, oh, we're at the wrong house,

0:52:33.160 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 2>start to turn around. The sixty five year old homeowner

0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:40.319
<v Speaker 2>comes out and shoots twice into the car. No one

0:52:40.320 --> 0:52:43.359
<v Speaker 2>has gotten out of the car. Shoots twice into the car.

0:52:44.000 --> 0:52:47.000
<v Speaker 2>This young girl's debt debt.

0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:48.759
<v Speaker 3>She was the driver, No.

0:52:48.719 --> 0:52:51.040
<v Speaker 2>She was in the passenger seat. Is at least what

0:52:51.080 --> 0:52:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the reports were. Because they then drove six miles up

0:52:53.680 --> 0:52:56.200
<v Speaker 2>the road in the middle of nowhere. They had to

0:52:56.239 --> 0:52:58.400
<v Speaker 2>drive far away to get help to They couldn't even

0:52:58.440 --> 0:53:01.080
<v Speaker 2>call nine to one one for six miles because they

0:53:01.080 --> 0:53:04.960
<v Speaker 2>had no phone service. Cops went to him, there was

0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:14.279
<v Speaker 2>a standoff. They arrested him immediately. You also had just

0:53:14.440 --> 0:53:18.640
<v Speaker 2>recently and go ahead to your.

0:53:18.440 --> 0:53:22.560
<v Speaker 3>And in the like half of these cases, it's not

0:53:22.640 --> 0:53:25.880
<v Speaker 3>even the problem. It's the race or the other person.

0:53:25.960 --> 0:53:28.000
<v Speaker 3>It's the guns that's the problem.

0:53:28.480 --> 0:53:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's one other problem, how scared everyone is when

0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:40.680
<v Speaker 2>they should not be, which is what I'm going to

0:53:40.760 --> 0:53:44.239
<v Speaker 2>try to tie this all together with the guns. Obviously,

0:53:44.840 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 2>without the guns, this doesn't happen. But not only is

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:51.160
<v Speaker 2>that horse out of the barn. That horse has left.

0:53:51.160 --> 0:53:55.040
<v Speaker 2>The barn had three hundred million baby horses, and they're

0:53:55.080 --> 0:53:57.800
<v Speaker 2>all across the country. We got more guns than people.

0:53:58.800 --> 0:54:03.560
<v Speaker 2>We are just on that front. No fix me none. Now,

0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:07.359
<v Speaker 2>we could do certain things to prevent mass shootings, an

0:54:07.360 --> 0:54:10.720
<v Speaker 2>assault rifles band, which is such a crazy liberal idea.

0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were in favor of

0:54:14.000 --> 0:54:17.839
<v Speaker 2>it back in a saner time of America. In fact,

0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's certain things we could do for mass shootings,

0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:29.319
<v Speaker 2>but the individual handgun ain't going anywhere anywhere. So we

0:54:29.400 --> 0:54:35.520
<v Speaker 2>have the most armed society ever, and everyone's afraid more

0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:41.880
<v Speaker 2>in the fear. In a moment last week, Walgreens Tennessee,

0:54:43.600 --> 0:54:47.879
<v Speaker 2>so a woman who is seven months pregnant that means

0:54:48.000 --> 0:54:55.360
<v Speaker 2>very visibly pregnant with a friend allegedly shoplifting. She and

0:54:55.400 --> 0:55:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the friend leave the store start putting again allegedly what

0:55:01.000 --> 0:55:04.080
<v Speaker 2>they stole under the trunk. The twenty one year old

0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:10.439
<v Speaker 2>manager follows them out and confronts them. One of them

0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:14.240
<v Speaker 2>maces him. He shoots the pregnant woman multiple times.

0:55:15.320 --> 0:55:17.520
<v Speaker 3>Was the pregnant woman even the one who mased him.

0:55:17.440 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. Here's what I do know. A lot

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:22.440
<v Speaker 2>of people hear that story and say, I got no

0:55:22.480 --> 0:55:25.920
<v Speaker 2>problem with that. You were stealing and you maced a guy.

0:55:26.120 --> 0:55:30.439
<v Speaker 3>One one thing, that's not the manager's responsibility whatsoever.

0:55:31.280 --> 0:55:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And the other thing is this, you're not even.

0:55:34.200 --> 0:55:37.000
<v Speaker 3>Allowed to follow shoplifters out of the store.

0:55:36.840 --> 0:55:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Of course, And if you follow a shoplifter out of

0:55:39.600 --> 0:55:43.080
<v Speaker 2>the store while car for pistol, my guess is you're

0:55:43.120 --> 0:55:46.200
<v Speaker 2>doing it because you might want to shoot somebody. And

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:50.799
<v Speaker 2>here's the other thing. For the folks that are on

0:55:50.920 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the he was she was committing a crime. So anything

0:55:55.640 --> 0:56:00.440
<v Speaker 2>that happens is fair game. The penalty for shoplift in

0:56:00.480 --> 0:56:05.280
<v Speaker 2>this country is not death being shot in the street.

0:56:06.920 --> 0:56:12.120
<v Speaker 2>The penalty, by the way, for macing somebody when they

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:15.080
<v Speaker 2>confront you with not being shot in the streets.

0:56:15.120 --> 0:56:18.640
<v Speaker 3>And also, I'm sure the other person I can't be sure,

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:21.960
<v Speaker 3>but I'm pretty sure that person wouldn't have maced the

0:56:22.000 --> 0:56:24.520
<v Speaker 3>manager if they didn't see the person had the gun.

0:56:26.880 --> 0:56:33.040
<v Speaker 2>But that guy much like Andrew lestenkan City who shot

0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Carl or Ralph Yarl, Saint Sandra Ground, Sandra Ground. So

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:43.919
<v Speaker 2>now we go to Texas, and I promise I'm gonna

0:56:43.920 --> 0:56:49.360
<v Speaker 2>wrap all these together. We go to Texas. Daniel Perry

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:54.320
<v Speaker 2>a few months back, sees these Black Lives Matter protesters

0:56:54.360 --> 0:56:59.880
<v Speaker 2>and hates them. Goes on Facebook, calls them monkeys to

0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:03.279
<v Speaker 2>his friends, saying I might kill a protester on my

0:57:03.320 --> 0:57:07.600
<v Speaker 2>way to work today. Texts another friend says I'm gonna

0:57:07.640 --> 0:57:12.919
<v Speaker 2>drive my car right into these protesters, gets in his car, drive,

0:57:13.600 --> 0:57:17.720
<v Speaker 2>drives to where the protests are. There's a man in

0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:21.959
<v Speaker 2>the protest carrying an AK forty seven. Now I think

0:57:22.000 --> 0:57:30.640
<v Speaker 2>that is insane, but in Texas, totally legal allowed. Daniel Perry,

0:57:31.240 --> 0:57:35.600
<v Speaker 2>after telling his friends I'm gonna kill a protester and

0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:41.800
<v Speaker 2>calling the protesters monkeys, initiates a confrontation with this protester,

0:57:42.840 --> 0:57:43.960
<v Speaker 2>shoots and kills.

0:57:43.720 --> 0:57:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Him with his gun or the AK, with his own gun,

0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:51.400
<v Speaker 3>with the gun he brought it in order to commit

0:57:51.400 --> 0:57:52.760
<v Speaker 3>this premeditated murder.

0:57:53.600 --> 0:57:57.080
<v Speaker 2>A jury of his peers heard that case and said, yeah,

0:57:57.120 --> 0:58:02.880
<v Speaker 2>you're guilty. You're going to jail. Within six hours of that,

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the Governor of Texas said, as soon as I can

0:58:06.160 --> 0:58:10.960
<v Speaker 2>on pardoning it. He committed no crime. He was standing

0:58:11.000 --> 0:58:12.080
<v Speaker 2>his ground.

0:58:14.280 --> 0:58:15.880
<v Speaker 3>What ground was he standing?

0:58:16.120 --> 0:58:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Well? That brings us to another issue. And I know

0:58:21.320 --> 0:58:22.840
<v Speaker 2>we have a lot of issues in the air now,

0:58:23.040 --> 0:58:28.240
<v Speaker 2>But one other story. A couple weeks back, San Francisco,

0:58:28.720 --> 0:58:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the founder of cash Act is tragically stabbed in San Francisco.

0:58:35.440 --> 0:58:41.280
<v Speaker 2>The media universally uses it as an instance to discuss

0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the out of control crime in San Francisco, dangerous liberal

0:58:47.040 --> 0:58:50.760
<v Speaker 2>health escape, a lot of poor people, a lot of

0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:57.000
<v Speaker 2>homeless people, to where now millionaire tech founders can't walk

0:58:57.040 --> 0:59:01.800
<v Speaker 2>down the street without being brutally stabbed today. The problem

0:59:01.800 --> 0:59:05.520
<v Speaker 2>with that story is three days later we found out

0:59:05.840 --> 0:59:09.360
<v Speaker 2>you stabbed to death by an allegedly by another tech

0:59:09.440 --> 0:59:15.280
<v Speaker 2>executive in a dispute about one of their sisters. So

0:59:15.320 --> 0:59:21.120
<v Speaker 2>why do I bring that story, Because we now have

0:59:21.360 --> 0:59:32.640
<v Speaker 2>created the perfect storm for these instances of violence. So

0:59:33.440 --> 0:59:43.240
<v Speaker 2>the first ingredient is the guns, as armed as you

0:59:44.360 --> 0:59:49.920
<v Speaker 2>as any society has ever been. The second ingredient is

0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the fear. New York City San Francisco, two of the

0:59:56.080 --> 0:59:59.400
<v Speaker 2>safest big cities in the world, but we got a

0:59:59.400 --> 1:00:03.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of poor, got a lot of minorities, got a

1:00:03.200 --> 1:00:06.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of San Francisco in particular, drug people that are

1:00:06.800 --> 1:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>strung out on drugs. Danger, fear, be afraid, you don't

1:00:11.920 --> 1:00:14.760
<v Speaker 2>know what's happening. You don't know. I know that. And

1:00:14.800 --> 1:00:19.000
<v Speaker 2>people right now listening saying nick, crime's out of control.

1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Is crime in a lot of big cities up over

1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years. Yes, is crime in almost

1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>every big city in the country down thirty forty seventy

1:00:32.800 --> 1:00:36.160
<v Speaker 2>percent over where it was in the eighties and nineties. Yes,

1:00:36.200 --> 1:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>of course, but that doesn't matter. Be afraid, be on edge,

1:00:40.560 --> 1:00:43.440
<v Speaker 2>be armed. That's the second ingredients.

1:00:43.440 --> 1:00:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's thing is always if you aren't armed, that's on you.

1:00:46.880 --> 1:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Correct and third ingredient, a shocking dedication by lawmakers across

1:01:02.960 --> 1:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the country into trying to reinvent the Old West with

1:01:10.440 --> 1:01:17.720
<v Speaker 2>these standard groundlings, which have moved us to a place

1:01:17.880 --> 1:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>of if at any time I feel any amount of fear,

1:01:26.720 --> 1:01:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I can respond with deadly force. Don't have to be

1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>a cop, don't have to really be in danger, and

1:01:36.280 --> 1:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>in fact, as the Texas case can show you, I

1:01:40.680 --> 1:01:45.440
<v Speaker 2>can start the confrontation, which if you take these to

1:01:45.600 --> 1:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>their furthest logical conclusion gives you the authority to murder anyone.

1:01:56.400 --> 1:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>If I want to murder you, all I have to

1:02:01.880 --> 1:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>do is bring my gun and bait you into hitting me.

1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>All I have to do is go to where you are,

1:02:12.280 --> 1:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>spit in your face, call you a name, shove you,

1:02:18.720 --> 1:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and then let you get the best of me in

1:02:21.600 --> 1:02:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of a fight. And be white, of course,

1:02:25.560 --> 1:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And be white, of course, and be white, because that's

1:02:28.600 --> 1:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>the last ingredient I was going to bring in. But

1:02:30.640 --> 1:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>all I gotta do if what the guy Daniel Perry

1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in Texas, if he were to be pardoned, he told

1:02:37.000 --> 1:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>his friends, I'm gonna go kill some people. He went

1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to where they were started, which is why he was convicted.

1:02:45.280 --> 1:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>He started the confrontation and then immediately shot this old

1:02:51.200 --> 1:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>white man in Kansas City. There was no confrontation, but

1:02:56.840 --> 1:03:01.720
<v Speaker 2>he's scared because he's black. Kid shoots the door. The

1:03:01.800 --> 1:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>old white man in upstate New York doesn't even see

1:03:04.840 --> 1:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>who's in the car, but he's scared. You're on my property.

1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:15.000
<v Speaker 2>It's goddamn Yellowstone evidently out here, and I'm gonna shoot you.

1:03:15.000 --> 1:03:18.160
<v Speaker 2>You brought up the andy white part of it. Of course,

1:03:18.840 --> 1:03:21.960
<v Speaker 2>in all, In some but not all of these, there

1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:24.880
<v Speaker 2>is And this is where again I'll bring the media's

1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:30.880
<v Speaker 2>pulpability into it. The media preaching fear of the other.

1:03:32.120 --> 1:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>So people are on edge, they're misled about crime rates.

1:03:35.920 --> 1:03:39.160
<v Speaker 2>They have all these guns, and they have reason to believe.

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Some people don't shoot people because they don't want to.

1:03:44.520 --> 1:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Some people don't shoot people because they're afraid of the consequences.

1:03:49.120 --> 1:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>But now we remove some of those consequences. All you

1:03:53.240 --> 1:03:58.160
<v Speaker 2>gotta do is say you're afraid, and all of a sudden,

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:03.640
<v Speaker 2>someone rings your doorbell. Fuck you. Someone comes into your driveway,

1:04:03.920 --> 1:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>shoots you from twenty meters out. Someone steals from a

1:04:08.360 --> 1:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>multi billion dollar corporation, a visibly pregnant woman. I'm going

1:04:13.840 --> 1:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>out there carrying my pistol. This is the moment I've

1:04:17.880 --> 1:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>been waiting for. None of us can be surprised where

1:04:23.600 --> 1:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>we're at, none of us, And God dog it, I

1:04:31.640 --> 1:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>probably irrationally yelled at my daughter this week because all

1:04:37.240 --> 1:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>of this affects us all and it all of us.

1:04:40.760 --> 1:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>All of it drags us down and puts us more

1:04:44.400 --> 1:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>on edge, and it affects our quality of life in

1:04:47.320 --> 1:04:50.520
<v Speaker 2>so many different ways. And the reason I yelled at

1:04:50.520 --> 1:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Diora ostensibly for being late to work and having a

1:04:54.240 --> 1:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>dead phone, But the real reason I was yelling at

1:04:56.760 --> 1:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>her was because when her phone died, I can't see her.

1:05:01.640 --> 1:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't show me your location, and I knew she

1:05:04.480 --> 1:05:08.439
<v Speaker 2>was traveling through the city and just seeing that I'm

1:05:08.480 --> 1:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>in Kansas City, She's in New York and last location

1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>was forty minutes ago outside of morning Side Park. And

1:05:19.040 --> 1:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>it's goddamn terrifying and is heightened because you're a black woman. Yes,

1:05:26.120 --> 1:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>But would I be scared no matter what. That Caitlyn

1:05:30.160 --> 1:05:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Gillis girl was with her friends going to a friend's house.

1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>The homeowner shot her, killed her. Ralph Yarrel was a

1:05:40.040 --> 1:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I don't know if it's clarinet, was some insactophone,

1:05:43.160 --> 1:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>whatever instrument he played, A great musician from seemingly an

1:05:46.880 --> 1:05:50.479
<v Speaker 2>amazing family. Just listening to his mom, his mom, Ralph

1:05:50.560 --> 1:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Yarl's mom. Ralph Yarrel was shot twice. Is would talk

1:05:55.200 --> 1:05:58.840
<v Speaker 2>to the President yesterday. Is a seemingly perfect student. He's

1:05:58.880 --> 1:06:02.919
<v Speaker 2>asked by Gail King this morning about she's asked about

1:06:02.920 --> 1:06:06.200
<v Speaker 2>her son, and she's basically like aside from the fact

1:06:06.240 --> 1:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>that he stinks at English. He's a great kid. She

1:06:10.480 --> 1:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>was such a lovely mother daughter moment. You could just

1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>tell the type of mom she was. She was like,

1:06:15.200 --> 1:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>we just argue about English. He doesn't like doing his

1:06:17.280 --> 1:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>English homework. It's like, lady, is that what we're talking

1:06:20.560 --> 1:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>about here? He was going to go pick up his

1:06:23.280 --> 1:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>twin siblings and got shot. And I know that. You know,

1:06:33.640 --> 1:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>we're really really concerned right now about protecting kids. We

1:06:39.200 --> 1:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>are we are grooming has become the biggest threat in

1:06:46.520 --> 1:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the world, drag Queen's big threat. The number one cause

1:06:58.080 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>of death of children in this for the first time

1:07:02.520 --> 1:07:07.520
<v Speaker 2>ever is not cancer, is not heart disease, is not

1:07:07.720 --> 1:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>car accidents. It's guns of children. The number one cause

1:07:14.320 --> 1:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>of death is guns. And so yeah, what happened in

1:07:24.320 --> 1:07:29.320
<v Speaker 2>my hometown. Of course, race is wrapped in every bit

1:07:29.360 --> 1:07:35.280
<v Speaker 2>of it. But the easy off ramp of that story

1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:41.680
<v Speaker 2>is old racist man shoots young black boy. Police force

1:07:42.400 --> 1:07:45.320
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning seemingly might let him get away with it,

1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:52.560
<v Speaker 2>community outrage, now charged, hopefully soon arrested. But pretending that

1:07:52.800 --> 1:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>story is not related to all these other stories and

1:07:57.440 --> 1:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the way the media gets us scared, and the way

1:07:59.840 --> 1:08:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the politicians exploit it, and the way we allow the

1:08:05.560 --> 1:08:10.240
<v Speaker 2>worst actors amongst us to act with impunity that misses it,

1:08:14.520 --> 1:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>and it's goddamn frustrate man, and it's scared. Hug your

1:08:23.680 --> 1:08:29.320
<v Speaker 2>family type, tell him you love him. And if you're

1:08:29.360 --> 1:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>a law biden, secondment loving gun owner, I don't. I

1:08:40.280 --> 1:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>have no quarrel with you none. But if you are

1:08:46.200 --> 1:08:53.960
<v Speaker 2>someone who is so scared of walking down the street
