We're 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: also going to discuss why he has chosen to be 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: outspoken on some political issues as well, particularly the rise 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: of anti Semitism that we've seen on college campuses.

I've only been out of 55 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: it for three weeks. 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: You know, well, you know, sir, three weeks. Are you 57 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: going to miss coaching? I guess this is the better question. 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: No, Lisa, I miss practice, and I do miss teaching, 59 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 4: and I miss the kids, and I miss my coaches. 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 4: There's no question. But you know, I'll be sixty six 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 4: in March. I still got plenty in the tank. I'm 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: not retired. But I got to a point where I 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 4: wasn't waking up every single morning thinking about beating Kentucky 64 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: or Florida, Alabama or Tennessee, and I started thinking about 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 4: things like my country and my advocacy for the state 66 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: of Israel, education, faith, family, things that you guys. 67 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: Focus on all the time. 68 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: And so I really made a thought and thought for 69 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 4: about a couple of months in the months of May and 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 4: June about running for the United States Senate and trying 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: to run for Tommy Tumberville's seat after he got done 72 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: and became our next governor. And I really thought about 73 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: doing it the more I got to know about the job. 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 4: I didn't think i'd love the work I was wanting 75 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: to serve. But I think the pace and I think 76 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: the way it runs would bother me. I'm big about 77 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 4: bringing people together. I'm big about working together getting things done. 78 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 4: I'm an American more than I'm anything else. And right 79 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 4: now the parties are so incredibly divided that I just 80 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: don't know that I couldn't do more for my country 81 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: on the outside than in Washington, d C. 82 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Do you Before we get to that is really important, 83 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that. Has Auburn been your favorite? 84 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite? Or is that asking like 85 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: a parent to pick their favorite kid? 86 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: We have our favorite? 87 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: What coaching experience? 88 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: Is there a specific university or college campus that has 89 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: been I know Auburn's been your most recent but has 90 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: there Do you have a favorite or. 91 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 4: You know, so this was the favorite stuff, Like like 92 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 4: like when we were at Tennessee, you know at the time, 93 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 4: you could be Kentucky. 94 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: I mean, I was huge. 95 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: And so my first year we go to Arena and 96 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 4: Chris Lofton goes off for like thirty five and we 97 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 4: beat Kentucky UH for the first time in a long time. 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 4: And then we got a chance to play Kevin Durant 99 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 4: and Texas. You're probably a senior then, and that was 100 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 4: a huge, huge win. I don't even know if Texas 101 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: was where they were ranked, but beating Kevin Durant. 102 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: We had a couple of. 103 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: Wins at home over number one ranked teams. We had 104 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 4: one UH against Kansas UH, and then we had one 105 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 4: at Memphis. Do you remember when we went to Memphis 106 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: in the one two matchup? It was on ESPN. It 107 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: was the highest rated show on college basketball, and so 108 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 4: for the highest rated show to be Tennessee Memphis, not 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: North Carolina and Duke or. 110 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 3: Not Kansas or Kentucky, it was just huge. 111 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: So those are the best times there, and of course 112 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 4: just the runs to the final four, the road to 113 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: the final four at Auburn twice. 114 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: You know, those were those were the greatest moments for me. 115 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's got to be you know. I mean, 116 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: that's that's as far as you can go. So you know, 117 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: that's that's got to be special. You know. 118 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: I know you mentioned you were entertaining running for Senate 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: in Alabama. You're going to be shifting gears over to broadcasting. 120 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about that? 121 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: I imagine it's going to be exciting. It's something new. You're 122 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: still going to talk about what you love basketball. 123 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about it? 124 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: I'm excited about it. I am so fired up. 125 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: Turner has put together you know, they had the greatest 126 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 4: basketball show on Earth with Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith 127 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 4: and Shaq and Ernie Johnson as the host when they 128 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: were covering the NBA, and they've done that as well 129 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 4: as anybody for a long long time. Well, ESPN now 130 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 4: pretty much has the NBA, and so what I thought 131 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 4: they both did brilliantly was say, look, we got to 132 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: keep that team together. And I think Turner's going to 133 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 4: produce it, ESPN's going to air it, and so you're 134 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 4: going to still see that show all the time, which 135 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 4: is great, but that opened a window for Turner and 136 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 4: TNT Sports to begin to look at let's get into 137 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: college basketball. So they made a big investment and jumped 138 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 4: into the Big East in the Big Twelve, and they 139 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 4: got games.

The plight of the Palestinians is self inflicted 177 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 4: and it has been since they created the term a 178 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 4: Palestinian and Palestinian authori or whatever. Completely and one percent 179 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: self inflicted and we obviously, I guess it's not ob 180 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: saw that again on October seventh. Israel has tried and 181 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 4: unfortunately failed to live in peace with its with its 182 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: Arab neighbors, and some and many of those Arab Abras 183 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 4: are now jumping on board the Abraham Accords. The Gulf 184 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 4: Arab states there are two million Israeli Arabs that decided 185 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: back in nineteen forty eight they weren't going to leave, 186 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 4: and they weren't going to fight, and they're going to 187 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 4: just continue to live right where they were, where they were, 188 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 4: and now there are two million. 189 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 3: Of them living their best lives in Israel. 190 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 4: The lie and the propaganda and this whole thing about 191 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 4: it right to return was some Palestinians left their homes 192 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 4: in nineteen forty eight because the Arab country said, listen, 193 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: you all need to get out of there right now. 194 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 4: You give us about a week or ten days. We're 195 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 4: going to kill every Jew that's left in Israel. You 196 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 4: can go back to your house, you can go back 197 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 4: to their house. It's going to be ours. And they left, 198 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 4: and they fought and they lost, and for eighty years 199 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: Israel has been trying to find a way to maybe 200 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 4: offer land for peace, like, Okay, let's give them Gaza, 201 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: and let's let's see if maybe giving them their own 202 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 4: state in our era, their own autonomy, is going to 203 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 4: be something that maybe we could get peace. And the 204 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 4: answer was we got a terrorist state, and we got rockets, 205 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: and we got death, and we had to have Iron 206 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 4: Dome and then the atrocities of October seventh, twenty twenty three, 207 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: the biggest Holocaust since since the Nazi Germany. We're getting 208 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 4: the banana pel is getting pulled back, and whether the 209 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: world like what they saw or not, because they were 210 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 4: many were against Israel and for Hamas and the plight 211 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 4: of the Palestinians. They recognized that this wasn't just the 212 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 4: Palestinian leadership. This were Palestinians, and these were Gosins. And 213 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: you know, there were there were six million Jews killed 214 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 4: in the Holocaust, nine million people over all, Lisa, And 215 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 4: there were hundreds and hundreds of stories of the righteous 216 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: of people in Germany or Poland or France that were 217 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: somehow trying to save, hide, protect their Jewish neighbors. You 218 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 4: haven't heard one story come out of Gaza where any 219 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 4: any hostage has left saying yeah, well, you know, they 220 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: treated me well, they gave me plenty of food. I 221 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 4: was this, I was that not. So that's why, Lisa, 222 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,599 Speaker 4: in the sense that they're not teaching this in college, 223 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: they're not teaching this enough in the churches and the synagogues. 224 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 4: It's it's just all the obviously the truth. And as 225 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: a coach and a teacher and an American Jew, I 226 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 4: sort of feel a responsibility to tie and try and 227 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 4: teach the truth, you know. 228 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: And just to be clear, I was saying that that's 229 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: been sort of like the broad or narrative from the media. 230 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: In my own personal view is that I don't believe 231 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: there's enough daylight between you know, the every day Gazin's 232 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: and has if you look at polling that's been conducted 233 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: over the years, or the fact that Gaza, you know, 234 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: Hamas was elected into governance and gaz I believe it 235 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: was in two thousand and. 236 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: Six, if my memory serves me correct. But just so 237 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: just to be clear and where I stand on this. 238 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: But you had mentioned that college campuses, you know, it's 239 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: not this history is not being taught or you know, 240 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: some sort of distorted viewpoint is being taught. Have you 241 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: did you notice anti semitism on college campuses throughout the 242 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: years or obviously we've seen with these encampments. After the 243 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: terror attacks, you know, it got really bad on college 244 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: campuses and at these universities. But did you notice it 245 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: before or kind of like when did you notice the 246 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: uptick on an anti semitism on college campuses? 247 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing, Lisa. 248 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 4: We may not have really noticed it that much until 249 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 4: the day after October seventh, when the day after twelve 250 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 4: hundred were murdered, two hundred and fifty kidnapped, Fifty Americans 251 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 4: died on that day and over a dozen were taken hostage, 252 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 4: some of them whom were executed in captivity. Did we 253 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 4: see kids on college campuses cheering for Hamas and listen, 254 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 4: I get it. Who wouldn't want Palestine to be free 255 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 4: when you pose it that way, I would want America 256 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 4: to be free. I'd want the Soviet Union to be free, 257 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 4: Ukraine to be free, Palestine be free. 258 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: I get it. But what Palestine means is to free 259 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: Palestine of the Jews from the river to the sea. 260 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 4: Freedom of the Jews by either death or destruction or 261 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 4: scaring us to somehow leave, and so I didn't really 262 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 4: see it until all of a sudden we saw these 263 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 4: college campuses, particularly the campuses. 264 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 3: On the hosts. Now, I'll tell you, Lisa, you didn't 265 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 3: see it. In the South. You did not see it. 266 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: You didn't see much of it Tennessee. You didn't see 267 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 3: any of it at Auburn. 268 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: And when there was the beginnings of some of that, 269 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 4: the Evangelic Christian community or the leadership of these schools 270 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: were not going to. 271 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: Allow their student bodies to be subjected to it. 272 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: I've got to take a quick commercial break. More as 273 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: coach Bruce Pearl on the other side, you know, that's. 274 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: An interesting point because you look at the City Journal, 275 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: which was founded by the Manhattan Institute. They put out 276 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: their own college rankings taking into two different things like 277 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: DEI and free speech and things that aren't always to 278 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: take you are not at all taken into account with 279 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: some of these other college rankings. Do talk about the 280 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: importance of that, And do you think that parents are 281 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: going to be sort of using a different baseline now 282 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: when they look at where their kids are going to 283 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: go to school, to go to college or to university. 284 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 4: You know, like that's a that's a great question. I 285 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 4: saw that report as well. You know, higher education, it's 286 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 4: at a turning point right now. Not to coin a phrase, 287 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 4: but I think schools have lost the public's trust, and 288 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 4: I think too many colleges have gotten caught up in 289 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 4: politics and activism instead of doing what they're supposed to do, 290 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 4: like just teaching and challenging, you know, students to think 291 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 4: for themselves and prepare them for life after graduation. 292 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: So I agree with you, Lisa. 293 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 4: Families and parents and their kids are looking for better options. 294 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 4: They want places where students can get a great education, 295 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 4: grow as people, be safe, enjoy their college experience. And 296 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 4: that's why I think you're seeing more and more students 297 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 4: start to choose schools like Auburn, you know, from. 298 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: The South, Lisa. 299 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 4: We add sixty five thousand applications at Auburn for five 300 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 4: thousand spots. 301 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 3: There is a rigulous curriculum. 302 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 4: There is a faculty that is a mixture of of 303 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 4: our country and not just in one direction. In fact, 304 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 4: I was looking at the report and the Southeastern Conference, 305 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 4: which I was where I spent the last couple of 306 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 4: decades in my career, has got five schools in the 307 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 4: top fifteen in the City Journal ranking. Florida was number one, 308 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 4: Texas was two. I think A and M was four, 309 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 4: Georgia was ranked in the top ten, and then I 310 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 4: think Auburn was fifteenth. And I just think it speaks 311 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 4: to the emphasis on excellence and some sort of sanity 312 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: that are actually taking place in the state institutions of 313 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 4: the South. 314 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: Well so selfishly, it makes all of us SEC graduates 315 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: look a lot better or better because it's the harder 316 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee gets to get into. Then that 317 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: makes you look better when I say went to school there, 318 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm an alumni. 319 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's for you. 320 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 3: I should brag on go balls. And and look look 321 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: at the. 322 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: Migration that's leaving either New York City or leaving you know, California, 323 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 4: and they're coming to states like Texas and Tennessee, you know, 324 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: even truly, even Alabama, Georgia and Florida. 325 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 3: These are all SEC schools. 326 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: You know, most college rankings they're all about money and 327 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 4: prestige and alumni and name recognition, and they really don't 328 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 4: tell you anything about the quality of education or what 329 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 4: kind of a student experience that that kids are gonna have. 330 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the thing about Auburn. 331 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 4: Our kids are happy that they like it, they're they're 332 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 4: they're comfortable. 333 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 3: So I was I was kind of pleased to see that. 334 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 4: And it just didn't surprise me to see like a 335 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: school like Harvard ranked thirty seventh, or maybe so many 336 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: the Ivy League schools that were on the other side 337 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 4: of it, because I think I think the schools in 338 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: the South, they're focusing on a tougher curriculum, you know, 339 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 4: student life and outcomes, like outcomes like what's your first 340 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: year salary going to be? Like what about ten years? 341 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 4: How much debt are you going to have? And I 342 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 4: think those are the things that this it looks like 343 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 4: to me. Anyways, And I've been to all these campuses. 344 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 4: I'll say this, Lisa. I always tell the kids at Auburn. 345 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 4: I said, look, I don't know you. I'm walking around, 346 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 4: I don't know you, but I know who you are 347 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 4: trying to become because you chose to come to Auburn. 348 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 4: I know the Auburn man or the Auburn woman that 349 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 4: you're trying to become, loving your country, loving your God, 350 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 4: loving your neighbor at a place that's small enough for 351 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 4: you to be important, but big enough for you to 352 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 4: do anything in the world. 353 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 3: And so I have Grinson. 354 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 4: I have great hopes for higher education, and I believe 355 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 4: in free speech, and I believe in the right to 356 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: peaceful protest. But what we saw in college campuses was 357 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: not peaceful protest. And they were organized by many people 358 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: that came from not this country, and they were weaponized, 359 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 4: and they were leached. They were leaching themselves to our students, 360 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 4: and you know, you had kids that were cheering and 361 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 4: there were rebels without a cause. 362 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: My only bone to pick with the City Journalist rankings 363 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: that they have a University of Florida at number one. 364 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: Florida is one of our nemesis at the University of Tennessee, 365 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 2: it is arch nemesis. So yeah, But. 366 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: You've publicly supported President Trump and had previously said that 367 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. 368 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 2: How do you think he's doing so far in this 369 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: second term? 370 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 4: Well, Lisa, I appreciate one. I appreciate many things that 371 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 4: you've said in many of the questions you've asked. But 372 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 4: one of the things I appreciate what you just said 373 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 4: is you must have done your research and your homework. 374 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 3: Because I was. 375 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 4: Supporting President Trump after he lost in twenty twenty, and 376 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 4: I was very, very concerned about the change in the 377 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 4: admitted administration. 378 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: I've always been kind of a Joe Biden fan. 379 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 4: You know, he's a good old boy, uh and and 380 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 4: you know, just just good old Joe. And I don't 381 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 4: mean to downplay it, but I thought we always had 382 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 4: a pretty decent heart for Israel. 383 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 3: And he wasn't the brightest bulb in the circuit. Never was. 384 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 4: But but but I think people thought he was a 385 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 4: good public servant or whatever. All he did was twist 386 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 4: everything that Trump did. He went in day one and 387 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 4: changed everything. And so we look at what President Trump inherited, 388 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: as he would say, he inherited a dumpster fire. He 389 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 4: inherited a disaster. He had he had like a ridiculously 390 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 4: high rted inflation. They were printing money and giving it away. 391 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 4: They couldn't ship it out the door faster in the 392 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 4: last six months of the administration, And and what for 393 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 4: political favor and and and they just they just poured 394 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 4: gasoline on inflation, and and. 395 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 3: And the debt. 396 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 4: They funded their their allies and mees, They funded Iran, 397 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 4: they funded Hamas, they funded the Palestine Authority, and they 398 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 4: reverted back to some of President Obama's policies of trying 399 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 4: to rebalance the power in the Middle East by empowering Iran. 400 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 3: And what did they get. 401 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 4: They funded as well in Levin, and they funded Hamas 402 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 4: and they created this. The Democratic leadership created this when 403 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 4: Ukraine was not at war with Russia and they were 404 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 4: talking about maybe getting into NATO leadership in this world, 405 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 4: you just said, listen, you used to be Russia. Okay, 406 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: you're not coming into NATO. We're gonna work with you. 407 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 4: You're gonna work with Russia. You're gonna be best case scenario. 408 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 4: But the fact that the world even entertained letting NATO, 409 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 4: that again half of it used to be Russia, that 410 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 4: sort of brought this war on. 411 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: We didn't need to have it. So the lack of 412 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: leadership the direction they turned the country in. Thank god 413 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 3: President Trump was elected. 414 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 4: I can't even imagine where our country would be right now, 415 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 4: whether it be with a debtor or how these wars 416 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 4: would that President Trump is trying to solve and create peace. 417 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 4: I mean, in my lifetime, and of course i've been 418 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 4: I'm sixty, I'm sixty five years old. I don't know 419 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: there ever was a president that could have brought the 420 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 4: Arab world and the Israelis together to both make these 421 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 4: kind of compromise and get these hostages out. When they 422 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 4: took two hundred and fifty hostages, Lisa, if you put 423 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 4: a bet down, you could have never dreamed or imagined 424 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 4: we'd get so many of them home. 425 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: That are alive. 426 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 4: A reminder, there are still thirteen that are not bodies 427 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 4: that are there, including Omer Nutra, a wonderful American young man. 428 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: He did it, Trump did it. Now where do we 429 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 4: go from here? Okay, Hamas must be defeated. This enemy 430 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 4: must be destroyed somehow, some shit, whether it's from within 431 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 4: or whether it's something that the world needs to take 432 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: care of. Just follow the different phases, follow the different steps. 433 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: And President Trump has been incredible, and I just pray 434 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 4: for them all the time. And I know that the 435 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 4: Republican Party has by and large been very supportive of 436 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 4: almost everything that he's done. There are America only folks 437 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 4: in our party, and I understand it, because you know what, 438 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 4: the economy isn't great, and we shouldn't be funding wars 439 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 4: and doing these different things. We've got to be taking 440 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 4: care of folks at home. But Israel has been a 441 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 4: great investment. It's been a great bang for the buck 442 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: in the sense that it's protecting Western civilization. What they 443 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: do for us in cybersecurity and AI and intelligence. I 444 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 4: think Israel has been a great investment. And I think 445 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 4: when the Middle East becomes peaceful, it'll also become prosperous, 446 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: and that is going to be a great economic boom. 447 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 3: The United States of America. 448 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 2: Got to take a quick break. 449 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: If you like what you're hearing, please share on social 450 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: media or maybe send it to your friends and family. 451 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: President Trump, I agree with you, he's sort of a 452 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: uniquely special as a politician. But like perhaps it's because 453 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: he's not a politician, you know, and he came up 454 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: from the outside. Why do you think he's been so 455 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: successful in getting you know, whether it be the Abraham 456 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: records or getting the hostages back, doing things particularly in 457 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: the Middle East no one else has been able to do. 458 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: And do you think we need more like outsiders like 459 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: him to run for office? 460 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: I do. 461 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 4: I do because he's a businessman, he's smart, and one 462 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: thing I don't think people understand about him, I've only 463 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 4: met the president of time or two. He has no 464 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 4: idea who I am. But he does listen to people. 465 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 4: He brings really smart people in the room and they 466 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 4: talk to him and he listens, and then he makes 467 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 4: great I always say this, I make better decisions when 468 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 4: I have good information. He's got great people around him, 469 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 4: and he listens to the arguments on all sides, and 470 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 4: then he leads. And the greatest thing that he's doing 471 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 4: the world was the world was missing American leadership. With 472 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 4: with saying American leadership, the world is going to be 473 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 4: a better off and he's going to be a better 474 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 4: savate place. And President Trump preaches to the world, look, 475 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 4: you should do what's in your best interests. We're going 476 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 4: to make America great again. Go ahead and make Canada 477 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 4: great again, make Mexico great again. Do what's in your 478 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 4: best interest. And we're all gonna, you know, we're all 479 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 4: obviously going to figure this out the art of the deal. 480 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 4: He's able to bring people together, he's able to, you know, 481 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 4: hopefully make everybody, you know, have some compromises. 482 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 3: And he does not want war. That's been the hardest 483 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 3: thing on what's going on in Gaza is He's been. 484 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: Really really patient with Israel as they prosecuted this war. 485 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: But what people need to understand, the reason why it's 486 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 4: taken Israel so long, is because they've gone house to 487 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 4: house putting their own soldiers.

But every young man and woman in 494 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 4: Israel has to go to war just to survive. And 495 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 4: so the reason why it's taken so long because in 496 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 4: to Lisa, in two three days of carpet bombing, two 497 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 4: million people could have been killed in this. 498 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 3: War and Israel did not do it. They didn't do it. 499 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: But Hamas is not defeated. And as long as Hamas is. 500 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 4: Still able to be in power and have with a 501 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 4: weaponry and not demilitarized, the Gulf Arab states have already 502 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 4: said we're not going to spend a penny where they're 503 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: at because all it's going to be is thrown away. 504 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 4: They got to defeat this enemy first, then rebuild Gaza, 505 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 4: and then you've got a chance for prosperity. 506 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: Coach Bruce Pearl, your legend.
