Is an Invasion of Taiwan Imminent? Jack Posobiec Weighs In
"So let me ask you, Jack, do you think a kinetic invasion of Taiwan is imminent? Because a lot of people are speculating that, but it's far from an easy military maneuver. It's a serious island with significant terrain issues. Do you think we're seeing the kind of overtures towards that or is that largely bluster? What are your thoughts? No, Charlie. I don't think so right now because I think what you're going to see more along the lines of. Keep in mind that Taiwan's unique, not unique. I mean, it's an island, right? So it's an island off the coast of China. Truman had this famous quote that if the U.S. ever wanted to invade China, it would essentially be a floating aircraft carrier for us, a physical aircraft carrier. But Taiwan is not Ukraine. China can't just march into there, but also on the back end, we're there to be a kinetic war with Taiwan and the U.S. gets involved. We would also not be able to resupply Taiwan the way that we are able to with Ukraine. There's no physical border between Taiwan and Ukraine has the back door with Poland and Hungary. We can't do that in Taiwan. Essentially, Charlie, what you would see is not necessarily an amphibious assault, which of course would be very bloody. I mean, go look at the history of island hopping, the campaigns in World War two, some of the bloodiest days of the war in the Pacific took place there, taking those islands, even the invasion of Guam, Iwo Jima, et cetera, et cetera. And so when you're looking at this, most effectively, you'd see a blockade of the Chinese military. People's liberation army navy around Taiwan, it would prevent the resupply Charlie. Their food is imported 85% of Taiwan's energy supplies are imported completely imported to that island. So if you don't need to fire a shot and win, you're following sun tzu's most famous adage. And of course, the Chinese military all read sun tzu and they're going through the academy.

Oldest living Pearl Harbor survivor marks 105th birthday
"The oldest living survivor of Pearl Harbor marked his 105th birthday. Joseph eskenazi from Redondo Beach, California says it feels great. I'm glad to be alive, but this age. A 105 years old. He marked his birthday at the national World War II museum in New Orleans, other veterans representing the army, navy and marines flew in for the event. Eskenazi says he doesn't know why he signed up. By hand just went up when they asked for a vote. Nobody else raise their hand because they knew that it meant death.

I don't know if you guys saw this. I know Luca was an active Dallas gives about a 144 points in regulation. 80 two in the first half alone, not good. Marvin? A four star recruit Dylan Edwards, the committed from Notre-Dame and he signed with Colorado. That's right. A prime time already making headlines, and then other best Evan Ingram from the Jaguars, 11 receptions, 162 yards to touchdowns. He's the 6th different tight end to have at least ten receptions for over a 150 yards and two touchdowns in a game. I thought he was going to be great. I thought he was going to be great when he was with the Giants. It's like, all right, that guy is going to be a star. And then all of a sudden, he wasn't a star. Pauly western worst of the weekend. Shockingly Dan, I'm going with the FCF playoffs. North Dakota state hammered holy cross, pretty good game for a while. North Dakota state hammered Sanford 27 to three.

Against Sacramento state 66 63 Sacramento state loses then loses their coach to Stanford moments after the game. And that was in regulation. There was no overtime. They don't need overtime. 66 63. And it wasn't basketball. That was football. So the final four is set, Dan, South Dakota state, the one seed against Montana state, North Dakota state versus incarnate word sets up a great final in a few weeks. I watched first half of Sanford and North Dakota state. And that was a good game. But that North Dakota state plan at home. Great home field advantage. Yes, Paul. Worst of the weekend, Mississippi state head coach Mike leach is hospitalized. There's a lot of mixed reports. It just doesn't sound very positive.

We're so the weekend Youngstown state my Youngstown state penguins was a heartbreaker to Ohio and mob's basketball. I got a question about the browns for you. You mentioned deshaun Watson obviously rusty, but maybe not the biggest problem that Cleveland has that may fall on the coaching staff, but my question, how much of this falls on ownership with this program, I don't know if Kevin Stefanski is really the issue when it comes to handling the off field issues that have taken place.

"That it's important because JT will undoubtedly be involved in tomorrow sports because he's repped by excel sports, excel sports is an investor in the product. If people want to tune into this, Saturday night basically against the Heisman Trophy ceremony when there's pretty much no other pro sports to go against. Army navy has been over. For hours, yeah. I think it could be a really good sign of our relative ability to tune in for prime time Monday night golf during this tomorrow sports stuff. So again, there will be about 12 months, maybe 13 months in between sample size and proof point. I just think that if no one watches this, if people don't sign up for the four figureheads that you would start APG tour with, it's a really bad sign. I don't think it'll flop, but if it does, yikes.

"And for army winning four out of the last 5 years, I mean, they're truly a team that's taken on the personality of their head coach and Jeff mukin and Jeff was talking yesterday at a pep rally and said, hey, there's a difference between wanting to win and believing you're going to win. And that's probably the best way I can describe these years since December of 2013 when Jeff munken was hired as head coaches. This is a team that over time has gone from wanting to win to believing they can win any ball game they're in. Rich, clearly from your standpoint, you're prepared for the game. You have a little more time for this one than any other one. But you're doing the broadcast from a broadcasting sense. What is that moment? I know the game, however, the game will turn out. But is there a moment as you're sharing what you're seeing with the audience that it really does overwhelm you with goosebumps and understanding the scene and the stage? I think the end of the game and especially after army victories. I like to say that army navy plays out really in three acts. There's the circumstance of the opening act from a flyovers to the national anthem to all the patriotic tributes. There's three hours of battle on the football field where each team is facing the team. They want to beat the most throughout the year. And then the final act when they come together arm in arm and after battling and being enemies for those three hours, they're sending each other's Alma mater. So when you get to the point where this game is fiercely contested, army comes out with a dramatic victory, knowing what 5 minutes later, three minutes later, they're all going to be standing integrated with each other singing each other's Alma mater. And I think that's what gives me goosebumps because you realize these guys are really teammates on the greatest team this country has to offer. What an amazing description. And we can not wait. Thanks for making time rich. It's a pleasure to get to know you. And to say the least, we will all be watching and listening this weekend. You'd be well. Thanks, Paul. Glad you're on the army side and I appreciate that. And hopefully we talked down the road. You can count me in. We're proud and maybe I may have some family issues, but I don't care if my dad trumps all. Be well. Have a great game. Thank you. Yeah, and by the way, before we go, let me just mention the army navy game in terms of if you could go to the army navy house dot com website, the USSA has some offers that I think everyone will enjoy. So we thank rich. We'll talk about we'll talk to somebody from the navy tomorrow, not the navy, but the naval academy. And we will be right back with your phone calls.

"Lot about the Heisman this week, but there's also something very special on Saturday. The army, navy game. It is truly one of the most remarkable events on the calendar. And this is the 122nd rich dimarco joining us voice of army and also the associated athletic director. What a pleasure to have you with us. Good afternoon and how are you? I'm doing great. It's a great week. It's beautiful army navy week and it's truly an honor to be on with you here today. It's something that a lot of us we turn the page from the championship games and we go through the week and then we watch it Saturday afternoon. But what does it mean to just from somebody from your perspective from that athletic department? I would imagine this is something that is not just something on the calendar. It takes a lot of planning. It is something that a circled all year for the players, the staff, the cadets, the graduates. It's something where, like I say, you know, you could be 11 and one and loose to maybe. There's a tarnish on the season. You could be one at 11 and have that one win against navy. And they're still a ton of pride for the season and that is how extreme it is this game. And you know, to hear from folks that are not only stationed, maybe back at West Point, but across the country around the world during this week in the lead up. It gives you chills. It's just one of the things that makes college football the greatest sport and army navy, having its place on this stand-alone weekend is stand-alone Saturday is one of the many things that's so special about this sport. The game this year is at MetLife so often it's in Philadelphia. It's been at a lot of places over the years. How is that determined? So when the bid went out, lay out the games, 5 or 6 year period. This game was targeted to move into the New York City area. Of course, 20 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks and MetLife stadium sits in your ten miles from ground zero and Lower Manhattan. So it's such a spectacle every year army navy, just the emotion with it being 20 years since September 11th is just going to add even more of a patriotic and emotional angle to what already is such a great day. On that campus this week, Richard, we've had retired generals on and you know how they feel about this game. But what is it like for the cadets for everyone who's associated with army at West Point? It is just the week that really unites everyone. There's a ton that unite people at West Point from the willingness to serve being in the army. These amazing kid athletes. And I often say army navy, at least for me, and I happen to be a big college football fan in addition to calling the army games on the radio. There were so many rivalries that if I was at the game, I might not have a particular rooting interest. Let's say I went to an iron ball. I just want to see a great football game. If I went to USC UCLA, I would love to just see a great football game, but everyone has a connection to army or navy, either they served they had a family member who served. They have someone they grew up with went to high school or college with. So of all the rivalries, I'm not sure if there is a game where more people have a rooting interest than the army navy game. And it's just cascades and it compounds and being around West Point from the bonfire last night to the pep rally. We had yesterday the team leaving to go down to New Jersey today and all the pop and circumstance tomorrow it is. It's again, it's the end of the regular season, unofficial star of the ball season and this truly army navy weekend. Now Richard Wright and everyone you said has a story. My own is it's the first game I remember watching in college football. Why? Because my dad served in the army. And I became an army fan for life. I wouldn't dare pull for nave, even though I've got a nephew who's Annapolis graduate and is a pilot. It's just one of those things. And I can not imagine though as we look toward the game Saturday, the pressure because I know these young men have dealt with so many other things in their life and they'll be doing things far more important than playing in a college football game and they already are, but how would you describe getting them prepared to play this game? Well, all year is a preparation for navy. I mean, they're thinking about it. They're working on it in preseason and during the year. I think the fact that both teams and I don't know if they're actual mirror images of each other because as you know, there's many different flavors and styles of the triple option where you can put army navy air force in a basket. But there are a lot of differences in how they run their offenses. So there's a constant, there's a constant preparation throughout the year. But this game, you know, you look at execution, but this name is turned out to toughness, special teams, turnovers, all those little things that really the more focused team, the more just generally prepared team, the team that is more fired up for lack of a better word, oftentimes comes out victorious in this game..

"The army navy series in 1994. Now, what I like about this is that from the very beginning, lendl was all in. I mean, he wasn't really interested in hiring some young coach to kind of cut their teeth as they got their coaching career going. He went right out and hired a soccer legend. Her name was Karen Guevara. She was an Olympic gold medalist and World Cup team member. And she still leads a program today during the time that she's been on board, navy has enjoyed an 18 to 12 record over army and the head to head competition overall. And by the way, this year's team will be going for their third straight patriot league title. And as I mentioned earlier, they did beat army just this past weekend. That score was three to one and again, just a terrific game overall, a tremendous offensive performance. And the neat thing about coach Kibera. And this is true with several of the other programs. I've mentioned it before. The underclassmen just simply have no fear. I mean, the folks who scored and the game against army this past weekend were two freshmen and a sophomore. Freshman Alexa riddle put in the first goal, but the craziest one was the second one that freshman Amanda graciano put in, it actually came off of a corner kick. And it was a high arcing tri that caught a perfect gust of wind, and it looked like it was heading right towards the front of the goal, but the wind carried it right over the goalie's head and into the top right corner. So that was pretty amazing. And that gave the mids a two zero lead. And by the way, they actually have a name for that kind of gold too. It's called an Olympic gold. That's the name given to a goal scored off of a corner kick unassisted. So pretty cool. I learned something new every day. And then finally, sophomore Katie Herman scored the last goal to give navy a three zero advantage and they held on to win three to one. So congratulations to the women's soccer team in coach Guerra for coming up with another win in the army navy star series. Okay, so after Jack Langley retired in 2001, check glad truck became the athletic director at navy. And the first thing he did was hired Paul Johnson to resurrect the navy football program. He also convinced Cindy Tim tau who is a winner of multiple NCA championships in women's lacrosse at Maryland to come to Annapolis and start up the program at navy. Coach Tim shell is 6 and O versus army and she continues to build a strong championship culture. So I really do think that this team is one that can make a pretty deep run in the NCAA tournament in the next few years. And we'll just have to see how that goes. Remember, they had that great final four run back in 2017 and I just think they're really close to getting back there again. They got some really good talent this year. Now one thing I've spoken about before relating to check glad chuck is that he does have a knack for finding coaches that are really, really good fits for the naval academy. And just to name a couple, Jamie cook with track and field and also Kerry kolot who had mentioned earlier for navy wrestling, they are terrific fits for their respective programs and I think they'll continue to be successful in their head to head matchups against army. Okay, so we've pretty much determined that it was 1968, which was the year Boko arrived at navy as the athletic director. As being the tipping point for navy athletics as it relates to the army navy series. So let's go ahead and take a look at the records for each of these three athletic directors to see what I'm talking about. Under book carpets, the mids over a record in the army navy series was 18 one and one. And then Jack langle took over. And during that stretch, they were 12 and one. And then since glad check has been overseeing the program they've gone 16 three in one. So that brings the overall record in terms of years to 69 to 41 in favor of navy with 13 ties. So remember that in 1973, they were looking at an 11 year gap in terms of wins and losses. And since then, the mids have gone a ridiculous 35 and four, which includes a current 7 year winning streak. So I don't know about you guys, but that pretty much spells total domination to me across all sports. Now the one thing I did want to cover was how the whole idea of the star series got started. And that occurred when both athletic programs began to expand. And as a result of being in the same league, the patriot league, they began to meet more frequently in conference play across different sports. So what they decided to do was create a star series where, in those sports where they might have the potential to meet more than once, they would designate one of those games as the star match. And each team would have the home field advantage and alternating years. So for example, this year, the women's soccer team, for example, played army here at home, and that was a star match. And next year, it'll be up at West Point. So if they happen to meet later on in the patriot league tournament that would still count in the overall head to head competition, but not in the star series. Okay, so now to wrap up this discussion, I'm going to go over some pretty interesting numbers I found when I was doing the research for this piece. So they're going to be a lot of numbers coming at you, but I think they're important to know so you can really get a sense for how strong a grip the mids have on this army navy series. Okay, first of all, the overall record across all sports between army and navy. And you can see this on a navy sports website. It is currently 1120 wins for the mids against 845 losses and 44 ties. And that's right up to the minute, okay? Just so you know that it does include the 6 and one record in the star series this year. Now, the overall record in terms of just annual competition, if we're just counting the number of years that stands at 69 years for navy, 41 for army and there have been 13 ties. In the star series record, if we're just looking specifically at games over the last 25 years, that's also in favor of the mids with 348 wins, a 192 losses, and 11 ties. And if we're looking at the number of years that the star series has been one and lost in the last 25, that favors navy also 23 years against one for army and one tie. Now let's look at the overall winning streak by year and I'm not including ties in this one. Navy owns that one with an 18 year winning streak from 1973 to 1991. And if we focus specifically on these star series winning streak, the mids have that record too as well with 14 straight years between 1997 and 2010. You may recall at the top of the program I mentioned that army and navy go against each other in a total of 24 varsity sports and historically the mids lead in the overall competition in 20 of those 24 sports. And now let's go ahead and take a look at a couple of the teams that have had some really big success against the black knights head to head. And one of them we've already mentioned, that's a wrestling team. So this is the sport with the best winning percentage where the teams have met more than ten times for the men. And as I mentioned before, the wrestling team has a record of 50 ten and 5. And that's good for a winning percentage of a little over 76% for the women. It's the swimming and diving team. They have a record of 36 and four, which basically means they've beaten army 90% of the time. And I'll close this out by leaving you with three more numbers. First, there are 12 teams that have a winning percentage of 60% or better against the black knights and the two longest winning streaks. First for the women, it is the swimming and diving team. That record right now stands at 32 and counting. They've won every matchup against army since 1989. And for the men, it's also the swimming and diving team. That number stands at 30. They've beaten the black knights every year since 1991. So that is everything you'll ever want to know about the head to head competition between army and navy. And I think now you'll know if you didn't know this before. You definitely know it now that there is really no comparison in terms of the quality of these two programs. Now I'm not knocking army at all. To get some great athletes and they work hard over there. But when you look across the board, especially since 1973, navy athletics has made a commitment that they want to beat army in every single sport, not just the big ones. So that is really cool to see. Okay, we are finished with our deep dive, but we just got a couple more things to cover. So hang in there for another few minutes and we'll be right back with our question of the day and our.

"Go ahead and see what's happening with some of the navy teams that have been in action lately. Today we'll focus on the rifle, water polo, and women's rowing teams. And by the way, I will touch on the big wins in mids hat and men's and women's soccer and men's and women's cross country. We'll go ahead and hit those later on in a deep dive in midwife segments. So here we go with the navy rifle team. They came off a series of matches against ranked opponents over the course of the last two weekends. They took on number 11 Akron number 12 Ohio State number 16 Memphis and number four old miss. And during that stretch, they ended up with a two and two record with the winds coming over Ohio State and Memphis. The mids are led by senior captain Mike xanti from Norfolk Virginia. And I will tell you that he's really been in a zone lately because it seems like every time he goes out, he's setting either a new personal record or a new school record. And I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about here. And the match against old miss, which was their most recent one. They did come up short in that one, but the team tied their highest point total of the season. And one of the reasons for that was that zanti scored 599 points out of 600 in the air rifle competition. So yeah, I'd call that some really good shooting. And just to give you an idea of what I mean, I'll reference something that coach Mike auntie said in a conversation with navy sports Phil Bergman a couple weeks ago. The competitors shoot at a target from a distance of ten meters in the air rifle, and from there, that tendering looks like it's about as big as a period at the end of a sentence. So think about that for a second. From ten meters away, that ten ring literally looks like a dot, and xanthan nailed it on 59 out of 60 shots, which to me is just amazing. The guy keeps raising the bar every time it goes out and he's leading a strong team as well. Freshman McKenzie shed and senior Mark amdahl have shot very consistently so far this year. Shed finished third in both the small bore and air rifle against Ohio State and followed that up by placing second in both competitions in the win over Memphis. Andal has shot a season best 5 95 in air rifle and 5 78 in small bore so far this year. Next up for the rifle team is Kentucky on October 30th, but they're really big fall competition is the president's trophy match where they'll be going against air force army and coast guard the following week. So that should be a good one. Before we finish up with the rifle team, I did want to mention that I had an opportunity to interview Mike zanti last year for the navy sports nation blog. I believe it's back in November. And it was a pretty fun conversation. So I'll go ahead and put a link in the show notes so you guys can check it out if you want. Mike is also the son of guy and Kathleen zante. Guy was in the class of 82, and he wrestled at navy, and Kathleen is my classmate from 84, and she went by Kathleen Murray back then. And she's a part of that interview also. So if you want to kind of get a sense of what a parent goes through while supporting a son or daughter who participates in a sport that is certainly not traditional, check out the feature. Like I said, I'll go ahead and leave a link in the show notes and you can see for yourself. All right, now let's move on to water polo. Last month I actually featured the team in the navy sports nation blog and I'll leave a link for that one, too. In case you want to take a look, anyway, the team won a couple of games in a row after completing a West Coast swing that was really, really tough. They played against some of the best programs in the country. Right now they are 8 and ten, but their conference record is three and one. The mids most recently beat Johns Hopkins and bucknell and over the next four weeks they will finish up the remaining conference games before hosting the conference championships at lejeune hall. I think the team is set up to do pretty well. The rest of the way, coach Louie Nicolas really put them through the ring a couple of weeks ago and those games against teams like UCLA, which was ranked third and Santa Clara, which was ranked 9th. They were basically designed to raise the team's level of play. So we'll see how things go starting this week with mount saint Mary's, but I've got a pretty good feeling about where the team is going to go from here. All right, now let's see what's going on with the women's rowing team. I will say that for all three programs that being heavyweight lightweight and women's team, the primary racing season is in the spring. Typically in the fall, they will train for longer distances than the standard 2000 meters that they race in the spring. In fact, they can be two to three times longer. So it provides a great opportunity to lay a solid foundation as they get ready to defend their patriot league championship. And by the way, I did get a chance to see the women practice a little bit when I was in Annapolis a couple weekends ago. I was there at the boathouse primarily to do to put together a feature for the lightweight rowing team, which I hoped to publish in the blog towards the end of this month. So stay tuned for that. But anyway, the team's first race of the fall was the navy day regatta, and it was held this past weekend in Philadelphia. The women entered a total of 9 boats and three different races. The number one varsity boat had a strong showing. They finished second behind pen. And they covered that 4000 meter course in 13 minutes, 48 seconds. The number two varsity boat, the varsity 8 boat finish 5th. And in the varsity fours race the mids finished second and third in between a couple of boats from pen. Now, the race that got my attention was the women's freshman 8 involving navy pen and LaSalle. And the mids absolutely blew the field away winning by 50 seconds. So this outcome really speaks to the depth of the program. So let's think about that for a minute. These athletes have been ruined together for less than two months, and they've already made a statement against a pretty good Ivy League program where pen is concerned. This is why the women's rowing team is so strong urine and you're out. They start putting together winning crews from the day those athletes show up in Annapolis. And whatever that coaching staff is doing is working. I mean, all you got to do to confirm that is to look at their 6 consecutive patriot league championships and to be honest, I don't see anything standing in the way of them picking up another one. All right, that's gonna do it for our sports update. Let's go ahead and take a quick break. And when we return, we'll really dive into this army navy rivalry across all sports. I think you're really gonna like what you're here. So stay with us. Okay, we are back and ready to get into our deep dive segment. Right now the mids are into the second half of their fall sports season and so far, army and navy have faced each other 7 times. The black knights came out on top and volleyball almost a month ago to take initial lead in the star series, but since then, the mids of one every game to take a 6 one lead. And just the last two weeks, navy's defeated army in men's and women's soccer and men's and women's cross country. And right before that, they posted wins and sprint football and men's golf. And all four of those matches the mids were in total control pretty much the entire time. The winning men's soccer was especially great to watch because it was the team's first win since 2014. And if you happen to listen to our last podcast that previewed the game with my guests in classmate Chris McKenna, you'd have heard that his analysis on the team was right on the mark. And that brings me to this point. I'm not sure how many of you are out there track the army navy rivalry outside of football. I'm sure if you've played a particular sport at the academy or if you have a son or daughter who plays it, you probably do look at at least one other one. But what about all the sports? Today I'm actually going to try and break that down for you a little bit more. And by the way, an interest of full disclosure, I did write an article in the navy sports nation blog on this topic this past summer, but I thought discussing the army navy rivalry across all sports would make good content for the podcast also. I'm thinking if nothing else, you can always send a link to your army buddies if they ever start giving you any static just because they want a few football games recently. Anyway, what I'll do is start with the first matchup and then I'll hit some major milestones in a rivalry as we go through the chronological history. So we'll talk about when some of the other major sports were added and where the overall record stood at different points in time. And finally, I'll try to pinpoint the time when things really started to turn in navy's favor, which is basically resulted in them dominating the rivalry across all 24 sports where they currently compete. As we get started, I did want to give a shout out to Justin Kaczynski, who is one of navy's assistant athletic directors for sports information. I reached out to him in the summer when I was researching this feature for the blog. And I was just looking for information going back to maybe 1970. So just a little over 50 years. But Justin went way above and beyond the call and provided me with the results of every army navy competition that's ever taken place back from the very first one. So that was a huge bonus and I just wanted to thank him for that. Okay, I guess the best place to start is at the beginning. The very first army navy competition as most of you probably know is in football. The midge won that game 24 to nothing on November 20th, 1890. And for the first ten years, football was the only sport they played. Navy won three of the first four games. And I guess things got pretty intense after they won in 1893. Apparently some army general really got into it with a navy admiral and it nearly resulted in a two of them squaring off in a duel. So I guess they still actually had those things in the late 19th century. I wasn't sure about that. But anyway, I guess someone managed to calm them down, but the services were ticked off enough at each other that they didn't even play the game for the next 5 years. It started back up again in 1899 and army did win that one. So the first decade of the rivalry ended with the mid holding a three to two advantage. Then in 1901, army, navy started playing each other in baseball, but it was still only a two sport rivalry up until 1920. And that's when things really started to change between 1920, 1940, 11 more sports were added, bringing the total to 13, and they included basketball. Lacrosse gymnastics and outdoor track. Now, as far as the head to head competition goes, the black knights actually held a slight advantage up through 1935. If we were just looking at the number of years each side came out on top, army wanted 17 years compared to 13 for the mids, and there were 9 ties. And that makes sense because there are only two sports played during those really early years. But it was roughly a period of about four decades we'll call it 1935 to 1973 where the black knights really increase their advantage in the overall series. Now, the football teams were relatively even during the 40s and 50s. In fact, navy barely came out on top there going ten 8 and two during that 20 year stretch. But it was in the sports like rifle and pistol where army was winning consistently. And the same was true in squash. But it was in gymnastics where army really kind of dominated the mids because between 1949 and 1969, they only lost one time. So that was largely responsible for giving them the edge going up through 1973. And in fact, by that time, the black knights had a double digit lead. They were ahead 37 to 26 with 12 ties. And I guess by that time, the mid to decided they'd had just about enough. Now, if you had to identify the person who was most responsible for getting this turnaround started, I'd have to go with Bo coppage who became the athletic director at navy in 1968. He was a 46 graduate of the academy and he was actually an active duty captain at the time he took over the role, which was kind of unusual. And while he was a navy, he played football and wrestled on the football team an offensive lineman. But anyway, this was a really, really good hire because when you think about trying to get something like this turned around where you are at a disadvantage in the head to head competition, it makes total sense to hire somebody who knows what it's like to sing second and I'd be willing to bet that coppage knew the score coming in and he had some plans to do something about it. He was the athletic director at navy for 20 years, and during that time, the army navy sports series expanded to 19 head to head competitions. And in the 1980s, 6 women sports were added, starting with basketball in 1980, and the others that followed were swimming, cross country, indoor and outdoor track and also volleyball. We're going to get to the results that copied produced while he was the AD. And when we do, you'll see that he made beating army a priority in all sports, not just football. And of course, all that starts with getting the right head coaches. So cops did three things that pretty much told everybody that he was ready to beat army no matter what the sport was. First, he made sure that wrestling coach Ed Perry didn't go anywhere. Perry had been coaching the mid since 1961. And he was already building a pretty strong legacy. When coppage arrived, Perry was already in the middle of a 5 match winning streak versus army, he was an outstanding coach who had won three NZ titles when he wrestled in college. And it's not unreasonable to assume that with that kind of track record, other colleges were looking to scoop him up. But Perry ended up staying at navy and as it turns out he never lost to the black nights while coppa was the AD. In fact, his record was 22 two and three. And both of those losses and two of the three ties occurred during Perry's first 5 years as a head coach. And after that, his wrestlers just became absolute wrecking machines when it came to taking on army. I mean, they would just crush them. It was routine for them to win by over 20 points. That was pretty much the expectation. In fact, in 1975, navy beat the black knights by a score of 40 to two. So when looking specifically at wrestling in the army navy series, that was one where you could basically pencil the mids in for a win just about every year. They are currently dominating the head to head competition over army with a record of 50 ten and 5, and that includes a win last winter against the black knights up at West Point under new coach Kerry Cola. So right now, the wrestling program is I'm pretty solid ground as it relates to the head to head competition against army. And now we're going to talk about a higher that Bo coppage made that helped get a program turned around in that army navy series. As I mentioned earlier, army usually got the best of the mids in gymnastics. I'd already spoken about that streak where they'd won 19 out of 20 years. And they also won 8 straight times in the 70s and the first part of the 1980s. So then in 1983, coppa hired Pete Corman as the head gymnastics coach. And Corman was actually an Olympian. He competed in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. And I actually remember watching him, he won the bronze medal in the floor exercise and he became the first American gymnast actually to meddle in 44 years. Now, he only coached it navy for 6 years from 1983 to 88, but his record against army was a perfect 6 O. And even more importantly, Corman raised the program to a level that it still maintains today. I went for the black knights in gymnastics is no longer a sure thing like it used to be, you know, looking back at the 1950s through the 1970s. And in fact, the mids have enjoyed quite a bit of success against them the last several years that includes two straight wins in 2019 and 2020 with the meat from last season being canceled due to the pandemic. Now navy gymnastics is one of the more high performing programs on the east coast under coach kip simons. And I think it all started when copied hired back in 1983. Okay, so far, we've talked about one coach that Bo cop had made sure did not leave navy and that being a Ed Perry. And then with Pete Corman, he hired a coach to get essentially one of his programs completely turned around and more competitive with army. And now I'm going to talk about Bo cops bringing on Paul Evans to lead the navy basketball program. Evans came to the naval academy from saint Lawrence, which was a D three school in upstate New York. And one of his strength was developing power forwards and centers into high quality players. And while he was a navy, he produced two of the best in the history of the program, those being Vernon butler and David Robinson. So coach Evans spent 6 years at navy before taking a job at Pitt after the 1986 season and he never lost the army either. His record was a perfect 7 and during those years, the mids were pretty tough to beat no matter who they played. In 1986, they just rolled through their regular season and their conference schedule, making it all the way to the elite 8 in the NCA tournament. And even though they lost to the eventual runner up duke, that navy team continues to be recognized as the best one ever in service academy basketball. So just to recap book coppa is track record. Remember, he came on board in 1968, and it was 1973 when things really started to kind of get turned around. From there until the end of coppa's run as athletic director in 1988, the mid one, the overall head to head competition against army every single year. So that 37 to 26 lead that the black knights had to go along with the 12 ties. That was all gone by the time copied retired. Now the mids lead in the series 41 to 37 with the 12 ties and they were about to build on that in a pretty big way. So we're going to go ahead and take a quick break and talk.

she did what she did What was my reaction Yeah what was your reaction I mean plain and simple Exactly And I think also too because if I remember so many things that I read because it went from it was a time with Richard Nixon when he was the president and I think it was 68 to 72 and then he left I think it's 73 And before Nixon it was LBJ right And so when actually so when actually did you enter the Vietnam War When did you actually enter this When I got there I got there in March of 67 67 And that's when everything was escalating like I said the North Vietnamese were showing up We actually I'm not sure if it's a 100% positive but I've been told that our unit was one of the first units to encounter them in force And again up to that point we had been used to fighting hit and run with the gorillas and they fire a few shots at you Hopefully get someone And across some problems And then take off when you fire at them These guys from the north they just stayed and thought Like we would do And I was there for 13 months and that was a tour for marines Army navy air force was 12 months Of course the marines had to be different And so just for everybody out there this is Russ from Russ

history It's all military member Bill yeah you have all these and you have a you do the screen printing You'll have the custom embroidery Give us a whole like how did you segue into this Well 30 33 years ago had a good friend of mine his name is Paul fortin Another Vietnam vet use of marine He had just retired from his military He made a career of it for 20 years And we're sitting in my house one day and talking about what we wanted to do and I brought up I said you know an army navy store be really cool And his eyes lit up and I had already come up with a name for it The battle zone And we called it a true army navy store We didn't want it to be like some of these other ones where you know they had everything besides army maybe We wanted to be really army navy And we found a little spot about a 1000 ft² building in New Haven Connecticut and opened it up and it just started growing like crazy And the next thing I turned around about 6 7 months or so later Paul came to me and said you know we got to find a bigger place And I said yeah I know And so I found he had found a 3000 ft² store right on route one and orange very high traffic Nice And I wouldn't look at it and next thing I said to my surpass that I don't have the time or the ability to do this with you because it's going to take me away from what I'm doing now which at the time I had another company on the side that was doing screen printing on t-shirts and jackets and stuff like that And I had about close to ten people working for me Wow So yeah he said why don't I just buy out And I said okay that's fine And all I wanted was what I originally invested in it which he had no problem with and he continued it on for about another 30 years and I continued on with my business for 30 years The battle zone My screen printing company continued the battle zone And he got to a point about four years ago 5 years ago he wanted to retire And he called me on the phone He said hey I want to sell You interested And

"I think they just kinda ran out of gas because they had trouble getting the ball In the goal so they ended up losing two nil to army which was a little bit disappointing. Considering the great start they'd gotten off to earlier in the year now based on what you've seen so far chris. What are some of the things that the team just absolutely have to get done to bring that star back to annapolis. Yeah i guess you know. I wish i if i had the answer to that i. I probably have coach. Adonis job i can. I think the biggest thing though is is that an and and this probably hasn't changed the biggest thing is that game is different so they always said we have two seasons at navy. You have your your season and then you have the army game. And i remember that very visit vividly. The army game is different. And and the stuff that that worked for you during the season may not work in that game as so i think that The key to that game. At least it was when i played in what i the ones i've seen is the team that makes the fewest mistakes is going to win that game. I think because both both teams are especially this year. Both teams are really good. Both teams have great. Records have won most of their games there scoring a lot of goals They've got really solid defenses. So i think the the key to that game who can stay focused who cannot let the event overcome them and who can make the fewest mistakes. It's an unruly. I was at that at twenty fourteen game. It's it's an there. The the army navy classic or the army navy bowl. I forget what they call it but it's not the ones like it's not like it was when when i played where we we alternate.

Their Service Entitles Them To Low-Cost Loans. But Veterans Often Pay More.
"John. Four is a retired marine corps. Colonel he served for twenty seven years. Did you see the big fish jumped for is giving me a virtual tour of his harbourside house in a development in punto gorda florida. He's got a dock and a little powerboat and can you see the pool. Oh yeah oh. That's gorgeous yeah all right. Can you see the kayaks and the dock. Actually four is making me kind of jealous of his house at the start of the year interest rates were falling and he wanted to refinance with the. Va loan that has alone backed by the us. Department of veterans affairs vets and service members are supposed to be able to an extra low interest rate and better terms that way so you started calling around and he says the company loaned depot told him we can do. Va loan for you. But it's going to be at three seven five percent interest and they had a lot of fees in there but it was a lower rate than he had at the time so he says he was just about to do the deal with lump depot when he happened to see an ad for. Va loan to a company. Called own up. He went through them and he says he paid lower fees and got more than a full percentage point lower on the rate on his three hundred and thirty thousand dollar loan. That means about twenty five hundred dollars a year in lower payments. He he says when he went back and told loan depot about the better deal. They then offered him a much lower rate to as a veteran. You expect you're getting something from the government. I i was shocked that they didn't just tell me outright. What the best rate. What's a lot of veterans. Assume the same thing according to patrick boy adji. He's the ceo of own up. It's a new company that helps people find a good deal on home loans through a group of different lenders. He says veterans think. They're supposed to get a really good interest rate on a. Va loan so many. Don't shop around but says while these loans are backed by the va they're made by private companies and he says some will head people with much higher costs and basically a worse deal than they qualify for. And they're veterans the. Sit there and think to yourself that this person who served our country is now going to get taken advantage of. And they had no clue they had no idea so in his company did a study. They're releasing it today. They took the top twenty lenders for va loans and looked at the annual percentage rate that the companies charged borrowers on all the loans they made last year and so when we looked at the spread candidly. We were quite surprised that it was as wide as it. Was that the best lenders. And the worst lenders were so far apart from one another. The study found that navy. Federal credit union offered people. The lowest rates at the other higher cost end of the spectrum was a lender called new day. Usa it's a new day for veterans. Who want to refinance at me as a vet. The company is a sponsor of the army navy. Football game it runs. Tv ads with plenty of american flags. We wanna do whatever is best for the individual service person. The study found that of the top twenty. Va lenders new day charged. The highest interest rates more than a full percentage point higher the navy federal which over the life of three hundred thousand dollar thirty year loan is more than seventy thousand dollars. More in interest payments new day in a statement said that the study has a quote serious flaw. It said that's because the study lumps together different types of va loans. That are not the same but michael. Hoon is skeptical of that explanation. He's the president of the non-profit center for responsible lending. The information from this lender does not explain their borrowers are being charged so much more than other lenders are charging. Their va borrowers as far as loan depot. The company that john four. I talked to the study. Found that during two thousand nineteen. It's rates were about average. The company is also a recent financial supporter of npr biology. With own up says the big takeaway from his study for him is that people need to shop around and find the best rate that they can and negotiate for the best rate. Because if you don't it could be one of the most costly mistakes you make in your financial life that's good advice for. Va loans and other types of mortgages to chris arnold npr

Just government clients fifty-three percent of its customers are in the private sector big name businesses who use a software program called foundry include Airbus Merck Ferrari and United Airlines but it's work for governments here and others around the world stuck to its reputation allentown faced criticism from privacy groups and for its work with the US Customs and border. Patrol. Tracking immigrants at the border. But Carp in the company not backed off in. That s one filing the leader of this highly valuable tech uniform said, Pailin tears work is different in his view software missions to keep safe may have become controversial but companies built on advertising dollars are commonplace and carp took aim at big tech culture directly writing quote our company was founded in Silicon Valley. But we seem to share fewer and fewer of the technology sectors, values and commitments. Helen tear moved its corporate headquarters to Denver and its shares headed to Wall Street. If you think, we are going to change our internal culture drastically if you think we're going to work with regimes that are not allied with the US enter abusing human rights if you think. that. That the future is going to be a super rosie place where the past ways of supplying software are going to work because enterprises and governments do not need to be reformed you should not invest in pounder. Andrew. Ross Sorkin has interviewed Alex Carpet number of times. This conversation was reported Wednesday yesterday right after the first trade for here on the New York. Stock Exchange. We've had lots of conversations over the years. This has been probably one of the most highly anticipated offerings or listings in a very long time. Almost every year that we would talk in Davos I would invariably ask you are you going to go public? Are you gonNA list and invariably you wouldn't. So let's start with why now? Well, first of all, thank you for having me and I and I really would like to thank all the pound tyrians who stuck with us and built this company and our investors you're stuck with us and you know over the years we've been skeptical about listing and for lots of reasons, we really needed to build our products. With enough protection so that we would be ready to launch them into the public space. And we built we built out PG government and foundry product and and built a way to maintain them so that we wouldn't have to scale the number of people and. You know we've reached a base where where our company's very significant and we believe being in the public space will help us with our clients and help us grow and quite frankly I believe the people apparently who built this company over seventeen years. Deserved a access to liquidity. So we we decided this would be great time for us and so far. It's been a really interesting process and and our clients are embracing it. So it's a really good time for us and I'm very, very grateful. Outlets. The single biggest question that investors ask about this company is seventeen years in while you know may have an operating profit, the company unto itself is still not profitable. So so walk us through what the path to profitability looks like. Well, you know we build these products years before people build them, and that takes money and what you see in the cove it pandemic crisis is we had built this way of going to market with foundry, which would allow us to literally supply an enterprise with a completely new stack of products within six hours and maintain them. And what you saw when we did that is we grew the company forty, nine, percent, forty, nine percent off of a seven, forty, three base and the divergence between expenses and in growth is dramatic. And we're just going to be very very focused on on an invigorating, our software offering. But when you're growing forty-nine percent off of a seven forty base. I think that's a pretty strong indication of what the future could hold and we're super proud of that and I think you're seeing that people are taking a look at our financials and our our company is often been used viewed as complex and. Needing explanation both moral and financial but it turns out our financials are quite simple and you look at this dramatic growth with flat lining expenses and I think that gives investors comfort and it certainly makes me feel as. Co Founder and CEO that we made the right decision to invest heavily over well over a decade in building software, the way other people don't to build it and you see the results do you think the profitability is at twenty twenty, two, proposition twenty, twenty, three proposition can I put you on that? Well, you you can push me but of course, my lawyers will shoot me I can tell you what I can tell you is we are very very focused on building software a time before other people building, supplying it and I think that are year I. First Half of the year growth will be reflective of the future and if I'm right. That will answer all of your interesting questions and we'll be interviewing. You'll be interviewing me again maybe not a Davos but virtually, and we'll see how we do. Confident confident we'll do well. Alex, one of the other questions people ask is how to comp your company meaning what are the comparable should this be considered a technology company as SAS company or should this could be considered a much more traditional consulting company? Can you speak to that? Well I think what the investors are seeing is they're asking the question at this point they used to ask is this is this a company that built software for the government and how do they build it? Of course we always sold this as a license. Then they saw our margins of the first half of the year round eighty percent. So I think the real debate now is. Move significantly away from is this software services because although people think we're very smart, we're not smart enough to get eighty percent margins off of a services company. The question then is, how do you comp it and honestly I think that's something investors will have to figure out. We're not focused on that we're focused on we are going to be the most important software company in the world. And people will figure out what valued over a long period of time and we're very comfortable with investors toying around it could be like this. It could be like that. We are going to deliver the best software. With the morals most efficient way of delivering it investors will decide what's that. What's that were is worth to them and I think you'll find a number of years that will be a consensus. Palette. Here is a truly special software company that is arguably the most important software company in the world. Alex has everybody knows You have contracts with various government agencies, obviously and some of the bluest of the blue chip companies in America today, but it's a concentrated list of about one hundred and twenty-five companies. About Twenty eight percent of the revenue actually comes from three of those clients unto themselves. Two thirds of the revenue comes from the top twenty. How much of a risk does that pose on one side but also when you think about the opportunity on the other, if we're having a conversation like this in in twelve or twenty, four months, how much do you want that list to increase in size or do you just want to keep that group effectively and a effectively raise the margin or cost for those clients? And grow that business. Well, we want to do all the we're going to do all of the above. So interesting about our client list people people ask, well, how can you have the super? Valuable Company they're only one hundred and twenty-five customers to which I respond but one hundred and twenty-five most interesting institutions in the world. These aren't just any institutions. The literally, I would ask people who are watching this to make. A list of the institutions they admire in the world and then roughly figure out if they're using, we don't go out and advertise our product, but I would say the list of our clients is the single most impressive institutions in the world I've ever seen we. So we want to keep these clients. Also investors will of noticing in the one that well over ninety percent of our growth in the first half of the. Year came from our existing clients. What does that mean our existing clients? The most important clients in the world are really happy that's what it means. So of course, we're going to expand those really happy clients who happen to be the coolest people on the planet, and then we've built this product which has gotten very little attention called Apollo Apollo allows us to maintain and deliver software to any number of clients with essentially. Not growing our our force apparent and force at all. So we're planning now that we have Apollo to grow the number of super cool customers all over the world, and we can do it without raising our headcount, and so what you're going to see is we're going to continue building with our clients why they're the most interesting clients in the world and they clearly based on our numbers like us and some of us. We are going to expand our client base. Why? Because now with Apollo, we can deliver the whole stack in six hours. I don't think any other company I've ever seen in the world can do that, and we can do with efficiencies that I don't know any other companies going to do because we can do this with a small number of people sitting in our office that we have maintaining, updating and providing them with new products we built. So they don't have the Frankenstein monster that takes two years to build and has to be maintained with either human hours like in the government contracting case or by purchasing new product or compensating sales people or behind. It people you don't even talking to you can actually buy one stack. So we are going to increase revenue with current customers, get new customers and continue our march. Alex how easier heart is because I know you've talked about trying to keep things in in terms of the platform if you will how he's your heart it for four clients to leave in terms of the churn. Well, as I mentioned, ninety, five percent of our revenue comes from existing customers. So customers, obviously if a customer wants to leave they, can I think the main reason our customers stay besides the fact that the output is very significant as they look at this product, we supply foundry the average customers paying less than six million dollars and they compare it to buying twenty products paying ongoing licensing. Fees. You can't get out of or building something over years, and the last thing they compare it to is we're not delivering a roadmap. Most people are living roadmap of what are you going to get in a year we're delivering a product after six hours so customers can leave. But what you see in the numbers is they by and large don't, and it's not because of my charming personality. Alex well, let me ask you a different question. We've had lots of fascinating geopolitical and philosophical questions about the role of technology and Pailin tear itself as well as the approaches silicon valley has taken. I'm curious in terms of risks how you think about this Amnesty International as you know, criticized, the company recently for its role of working with ice. How much of that does that pose a risk to the larger business? Especially, the corporate business at a time when we have corporations at taking both political positions and also being oftentimes being socially at activist. To Your Business Well, look the fact that we take positions that are sometimes controversial can cost. US clients. But it also gets us. Clients because when we talked to a client and we say look we're going to work with you. We're not gonNA walk away just because the winds change and this is super important especially to our government clients if you're supplying special forces and army and the US, those clients have to know that they will not be left on the battlefield. Because a because Silicon Valley has decided they don't like the warfighter. So of course that costs revenue many of our decisions of cost US revenue we only work in certain countries we've walked away from work because if human rights issues we've said, we disagree with very prominent human rights organizations and we engage in dialogue but also by the way is a reason why I Think people who are watching this may consider investing or not investing. We are not going to stand up here and say we're for everybody we're not going to pretend, and by the way we're going to try avoid jargon. We will actually tell you what we think it's not going to be created by fifty media people it may have to be carried by a couple. Of Lawyers but one of the unique things about power tears, we actually say things and we actually stick to them and that's something not everyone likes but many of our customers do and by the way I think it is a reason why ninety five percent of our revenue comes from customers because when we tell them, we're going to deliver we are going to deliver. Alex. One of the other questions now you all republic company. But as you know, you have three tiers of stock classes of shares that is and to some degree there have been critics who said, this is effectively a private company masquerading as a public company. Can you speak to the decision to structure the shares the way that they are structured and how governance experts and folks should think about that I think it's important for government experts to look and make an deliver opinion but I would also ask them to consider the environment we live in pound tear has been in silicon valley up till recently for seventeen years and in silicon. Valley. Defending the. warfighter providing our troops with technology that allowed them to come home is very controversial. I do not believe a company like ours that makes really consequential decisions for government clients and non-government clients could be run without an F. share structure and I understand there's criticisms investors look and say, well, why should talent you're having F. structure? What is my? What is my what? What can I do if? I don't agree with them. The primary reason why we fought for an structure and we asked investors to buy into it was we need to be able to go to our especially our Intel and defense clients and say, we will not just blow with the wind. And does shares for a company like ours gives us a unique ability to have long-term commitments to the most important clients in the world, both commercial and government, and that's why I believe they're super important, and I also again would encourage people if that's not something you're comfortable with there are many shares to buy. We don't have to buy challenge your shares. You should buy shares knowing that these shares reflect our views. Alex we've often had these conversations in Davos where globalization has ruled the roost but as you know so well, the world seems to be shifting to a globalized world, a splinter net if you will. How do you think long term that will affect the business of here We made this decision, which is actually a secret only because no one believes it's true which is that we didn't solve the problem of fighting terrorism. We solve the problem of doing data protection and fighting terrorism, and the architecture we built both PG and for foundry will allow a super set to work with subsets, which means if the world's splinters and every country has its own jurisdictions, it's GonNa be very hard for normal software companies because they're not built to do that but it's going to be very good for Palette here and finally Alex. Decision five years from now today. How would you measure success? Here, what would be the metrics which measure it? We know they're there obviously financial metrics but I'll tell you Powell cheer has recruited and retained I believe the most interesting most talented most ethical people I've ever met and we work I've interacted with thousands of institutions and in five years when meet I think he'll say to me. Wow, that wasn't just you saying that because it was the right thing to say it's actually true. And the products that will build over that period we'll we'll. We'll be unique and they will tilt the course of history. In favor of things that are good and noble. And will not avoid the complexity that's necessary to do that outlets. Carpool. You lots of luck and we do look forward to having that conversation hopefully in five years. But hopefully sooner than that. Thanks so much Alex.
