AOC, GOP Rep. Gosar Talking in House Has Twitter Abuzz
"This article says that Twitter freaks out over AOC, chatting with GOP lawmakers during speaker vote. Somebody made reference that it wasn't on the 2023 bingo card. It says observers tune into the house speakers vote on Tuesday were surprised to find known rivals Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Paul goes off from Arizona, chatting casually in the House chambers. In a clip captured by C-SPAN and Wiley shared online gosar and Ocasio-Cortez seated alongside one another are engaging in what appears to be a friendly conversation during the break after House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy speakership bid fail short of the required 218 votes. The exchange was shocking, largely because of the lawmakers continuous history with one another, which came to a head when gosar tweeted an animation spoof video depicting violence against AOC and President Biden. At the time AOC accused gosar of being a white supremacist. Kosar was censured, censured, which is a different word and censored, censured, and stripped of his committee assignments as a result.

The God Connection
"Ladies and gentlemen, general ladies, welcome back, glory be the God, man. I just, I feel like that there's something moving here. There's something moving here. In the spirit realm, and if you're not paying attention, you're gonna miss it. This is bigger than a football player falling unconscious in front of the world. This is bigger than McCarthy and the Republicans not finding a way to get their stuff figured out. It's something that God is doing and my whole thing is this. You know, this is how I feel about God. And this is how I think that you can judge whether or not you go into the right church or you connected with the kingdom. This is a good indication. I look at God as being the cell phone provider. Think of this follow me. And I believe that God gives cell phone service to those whom follow him and who are called, and that have the spirit of God in them. And when God is ready to do something, he sends out a text message to everybody on the data plan. And if you have a connection with God, you will see that text message come through and you are understand what's happening and what to do about it. I'm telling you right now and I'm declaring right here on the radio that God is doing something right now that you do not want to miss. And let me just take a step back for people who don't believe in God that may be listening to this. Do not believe. The foul idle minds of fools who try to describe God that they have created in their own mind.

Damar Hamlins Charity Foundation Approaching $7 Million in Donations
"I want to give a quick update on the young man demar Hamlin, I don't know why it's so weird for me to say his name. I just don't remember his name doesn't ring in my mind. Like demar Hamlin, it's not like a Ray Lewis or something. It just doesn't ring in my mind. However, his the GoFundMe account, I wish I only go for me, man. God, dang, they bring in the bacon. People, millions of millions of dollars raised over all these platforms, but regardless of that. His GoFundMe is called chasing M's foundation community toy drive. And his original goal was $2500, which is weird as an NFL player. You would think other players would hook you up or something. He ended up raising 10,000, but after this incident, 200, I mean, this is as of, I don't remember when I printed this, but this was like not too long ago that we printed this. Oh, at 9 a.m. this morning. So that was pretty a pretty long time ago. I could probably look up the numbers as of right now, but I mean, he's at 62, $6.2 million raised 205,000 donors. So there's a lot of small donations, and I think the biggest donor was like $20,000 in the course, all the guys in the NFL supported. And I just want to say this because I said this yesterday, but it's been on my heart to say this. It's that God works in mysterious ways. If you can not, if you can not see that this is a God thing, then I think you are not in a position to kiss the blessings of God when they come through.

Cori Bush Says Republicans Are Using Byron Donalds As Prop
"My producer of God man just send me something that Cory Bush said, that lady is a complete trampoline. She's a trampoline, okay? Y'all thought I was gonna call it a T word. I want to, but I ain't because I'm a Christian. But this trampoline had the nerve to proclaim that Byron Donald is an Uncle Tom upholding white supremacy. These people are completely stupid. And can I just say that, I can not just say it how I feel it, they're completely stupid. You know, and this is one of the things that as a black man, you have to deal with the racism of the Democrat party, not only from black from white people, you gotta deal with it from black people. People are voting for Byron Donald because they feel like he can give them a great opportunity to Speaker of the House. Let me just say this. I don't know Byron Donald has experience, but the boy know what he's talking about. You may want somebody with more tenure, I don't know. But he knows what he's talking about. He's confident he's smart. He's bold. I wouldn't mind having him as a Speaker of the House. But people are voting for him in the course of Democrats or afraid. What are they afraid of, mister Tatum? They are afraid of a powerful black man. Who can get in there and set the record straight on the Republican side. Because they've been lying to black people for centuries.

Who Are the Republicans Against McCarthy
"If your constituency don't want you to vote for McCarthy, you don't vote for McCarthy. And if a Republican person can not come together and get votes on both sides or enough votes to win, then he can't win. You know, it's interesting that the people who have decided not to vote for McCarthy. Because if you look at the state of Arizona, I think all of our representatives. Andy Biggs, Eli crane, who else we got Paul gosar, which was people that I think very highly of. So majority of our representatives is against him. Matt Gaetz Byron Donald is now again some unapologetic. From Florida, chip Roy from Texas, some of the notable name people, I don't really know the rest of these people as well, Lauren boebert, from Colorado, you know, you got one, that's if you go with the state of Arizona, you got one, two, three people from the state of Arizona. You got one, two, it looked like two or three people from that are floridians. They're from Texas, you got at least four people from Texas on this list. A three or four people from Texas, it seems like there's a consistency here in certain states that do not want McCarthy to be the speaker.

McCarthy Loses Sixth Speaker Vote
"We still do not have the Speaker of the House. There's so many mixed emotions, so many makes feelings when it comes to McCarthy, and I'm gonna tell you guys the truth, nothing but the truth so help me God. I have no idea. What's going on on this? I don't understand because I see Republicans whom I respect that are saying. McCarthy is not the option. He's a rhino. He's not going to do what's best for the party. In protest, they're not voting for him. And I also have Republicans that I respect are saying vote for McCarthy. He's a good guy. He's the one for us. When you look on social media, you will see that 90 percent of people on social media is given the middle finger to McCarthy. But 90% or 80% are probably around 85, 90% of politicians are in support of Kevin McCarthy. I have no idea what the thing. I have no idea what to believe. Byron Donald is one of my favorite representatives. And he don't support McCarthy. And I think he's a rational reasonable person. I hear his testimony. He don't support it. Jim Jordan is one of my favorites as well. He supports McCarthy. Donald Trump came out in a lengthy statement on true social and made mention that we need to come together as a party. This is pretty much embarrassing and we need to get behind McCarthy. But I thought McCarthy was establishment just like Mitch McConnell. So what do you believe? What is the truth?

Brittney Griner prisoner swap AP Sports Story of the Year
"Britney grinder's return to the U.S. after ten months of captivity in Russia is the AP sports story of the year. It played out at the intersection of not just sports, but politics, race, and gender identity and wartime diplomacy. An openly gay black basketball star held overseas on drug charges by a nation waging war on a neighbor. It further strained relations between Washington and Moscow, who swapped grinder for Russian arms dealer Victor boot. The entire saga boosted not just grinder's profile, but the issue of wrongly detained Americans and government efforts to bring them home. Sagar Meghani, Washington.

"On the latest edition of balance of power, a conversation with former defense secretary William Cohen, about the Britney griner prisoner swap, and the question why Paul Whelan was left behind. Whenever we are forward deployed in any country in the world, you could have radical groups seizing one of the Americans and either torture them or try to use them as some sort of a bargaining tool. So that's something that has been out there. We'll probably be out there in the future. But in terms of this exchange, I want to congratulate the Biden administration for getting Brittany back. Number two to congratulate the weyland family because they really have tried to take the politics out of this by saying that I wish we could have gotten our brother back. It was better that we got Brittany elder. That was the only deal possible. The tougher part would have been if Putin had said, you get one back. You pick which one you're going to get back. That would have been a tougher situation. So I think the weyland family said we don't want to happy. We are disappointed, but we understand and we support what the Biden administration did. And I think that should try to take the politics out of it, where Republicans are saying, well, this really rewards Putin. He's stronger. He's not stronger. He's weak. And we ought to stop saying how strong he is and building Russia up. Russia is the enemy of freedom and liberty for individuals. And we're seeing that play out. They just arrested a navy. And they put them in prison for 8 and a half, 9 years for what? Because he was critical of the war in Ukraine. So that tells you what Russia tells you how weak Putin is that he can't afford to have anybody say, number one, it's a war, but number two that we're losing.

Van Jones: Young People Will Remember Brittney Griner's Release
"Lot of headlines about the Britney griner prisoner swap for the merchant of death. I want you to hear van Jones yesterday on CNN. It just shows this president got it done. He cared enough about this individual person to get her home. It was shocking. I think for young Americans to see an icon like that, snatched, locked up, treated like garbage, and 9 years, ten years for bringing some cannabis oil medical medically. So these are decade defining images. I guarantee you there are going to be young people ten years from now, 20 years from now, 30 years from now who will remember this moment because she is an icon. And it's really, really extraordinary. People don't talk about, oh, well, this other guy, he's so terrible. There's a lot of terrible people in the world. There's a lot of trouble with people in Russia, but what you don't have and what you can't allow to happen is to have a black female icon, treat it like garbage, an American do nothing about it. Something was done about it and people are going to be proud about that. Sometimes they say the quiet part out loud. You can't let a black female icon be treated that way. She's a black female icon, and that's why she needed to come home. The U.S. Marine, he can rot. Paul Whelan can stay home.

Whenever we are forward deployed in any country in the world, you could have radical groups seizing one of the Americans and either torture them or try to use them as some sort of a bargaining tool. So that's something that has been out there. We'll probably be out there in the future. But in terms of this exchange, I want to congratulate the Biden administration for getting Brittany back. Number two to congratulate the weyland family because they really have tried to take the politics out of this by saying that I wish we could have gotten our brother back. It was better that we got Brittany elder. That was the only deal possible. The tougher part would have been if Putin had said, you get one back. You pick which one you're going to get back. That would have been a tougher situation. So I think the weyland family said we don't want to happy. We are disappointed, but we understand and we support what the Biden administration did. And I think that should try to take the politics out of it, where Republicans are saying, well, this really rewards Putin. He's stronger. He's not stronger. He's weak. And we ought to stop saying how strong he is and building Russia up. Russia is the enemy of freedom and liberty for individuals. And we're seeing that play out. They just arrested of Navi. And they put them in prison for 8 and a half, 9 years for what? Because he was critical of the war in Ukraine. So that tells you what Russia tells you how weak Putin is that he can't afford to have anybody say, number one, it's a war, but number two, that we're losing it. So that talks to me about weakness upstream

Russian 'Merchant of Death' Swapped for Brittney Griner
"We're going to start on a political note. And that is the Biden regime's trade of a Russian arms dealer, a very bad guy, Victor, merchant of death, boot. Serving a 25 year prison sentence for conspiring to kill Americans, trafficking anti aircraft missiles, providing material support to terrorists. So this guy is traded for Britney griner, the WNBA player, and she is now back on a plane back in the United States. And even some people on the left are and some of the Democrats are like, wait, what is this? What do you make of all this? Well, I make that he likes some terrorists. And apparently, apparently, you know, people are like, oh, why would he do that? Is he not a good negotiator? What's the deal? I think Biden has a little bit of hatred towards America. And this is blatantly it shows it, right? Because this man think about it, this man is a true terrorist. Unlike the January 6th defendants, right? This man is an actual terrorist who actually wanted to kill Americans. Trafficked aircraft missiles, guns, AK-47s. I thought Biden hated all that, right? No, I mean, there's a marine in Russian captivity. A U.S. Marine and Biden opted not to get that guy out, but to get griner out.

The House Passes the Respect for Marriage Act
"The marriage act. The respect for marriage act. That is now passed a bunch of cowards and now going into Joe Biden's desk where he will stumble over there and scribble something on a piece of paper to make it into effect. This is my whole thing here. Marriage between two men is not a marriage. That's not marriage. That's called a relationship. And in America, you can have a relationship if you want to. You can do whatever you want to do. But that's not marriage. You can call it whatever you want to call it, but it's not marriage. Marriage is between a man and a woman. And, you know, it bothers me that we just go down and slippery slope. The further we go, the further into the battery we get. Just like a marriage between 30 year old and a 16 year old ain't a marriage. That's not marriage. You can't marry a minor. In some cases, they let people marry minus. But generally speaking, you can't marry a minor. You can't marry a kid. Some things, I think should be preserved in a conservative manner. Because this is what's going to happen. When they get out here and they go marriage between two men is a law. What's going to happen if they go to your church and they say, I want you to marry me and my husband. And according to the Bible, two men shall not be together. Especially not in marriage, according to the Bible. Don't get mad at me. I didn't write the Bible.

Family of American Prisoner Paul Whelan Reacts to Brittney Griner Deal
"Brittany griner is coming home. She's coming home. Free at last. I'm free I'm free. But not Paul Whelan. Nope. He doesn't check the right boxes. He's just a former marine. Nobody really knows who he is. Just kind of and Whelan's brother, congratulated Brittany griner on her release. And he said, there is no greater success than for a wrongful detainee to be freed and for them to go home. The Biden administration made the right decision to bring miss griner home and to make the deal that was possible rather than waiting for one that wasn't going to happen, she will be reunite, reunited with her family, Brittany is free and Paul. Paul is still a hostage. Our family is still devastated. I can't even fathom how Paul will feel when he learns. Paul has worked so hard to survive nearly four years. Of this injustice. His statement went on to note that the Biden administration notified the wheel and family that Paul will be left behind in the exchange. The second time, the Biden administration has left Paul behind. In a prisoner exchange, the last one was in April, you think that they're ever going to let a former marine come home?

Candace Owens' Court Battle Is Officially Over
"I got some people calling in let me see what they talking about. But I want to give Candace Owens to shout out. For winning that court case against fraudulent fake black Republican candidate Kimberly klacik. Kimberly klacik sued Candace Owens for $20 million because Candace Owens exposed to her regarding her FEC reports. And I said, exposed her meaning she just asked the questions, why are you spending this distance and as a politician because according to your FEC reports, this seems suspicious. Instead of coming back and saying, hey, let me explain these things. Let's have a conversation. Let me explain them or whatever. You don't have to have a conversation. She made up all these lies said Candace Owens made up stuff about her and she sued her for $20 million. But ladies and gentlemen, as of recently, I think it was yesterday came out that Kimberly klacik lost the lawsuit. It was a frivolous lawsuit. And she knew she was wrong. And she ended up sitting with Candace and having to pay her a $115,000. But, you know, her cowardice, corny, wack, drug using self isn't going to come out and apologize, she's not going to be an honest woman because she was on social media talking big trash. I remember swatching it. Talking about, oh, I beat Ken, it's ha ha. Let's see you in court. All this other stuff and now she lost and she quiet.

Micah Parsons Apologizes After Viral Tweets About Brittney Griner
"The NFL linebacker, mister Parsons, who was a tremendous football player, mind you. But I want to go back over to stuff that he said because in my mind, I'm thinking, why did he apologize? And then it's like, everybody's apology is dead. I communicated with somebody that I respect. Why can't you communicate with somebody respect, but still disagree with them? I don't think he should have apologized for this. And let me read his tweets again. He said, wait, no. We left the marine. And then he goes on to write, we still not voting for you. It's what parson said in a tweet for Joe Biden. Because I believe he had the wisdom to say, we got her, but didn't get a marine. You're doing this for votes. From black people. This is one of them cares you can dangle over the black man head and say, look what we did for y'all. Now we get y'all votes for another 20 years. But Parsons in my opinion had an educated opinion about it. And he made a statement that I believe that is a sentiment of many people in this country. But then, somebody, some woke black dude, veteran, somebody on this team, or somebody stupid, I wouldn't say stupid, but somebody who's who I think is less bold about the statements that they make, must've told him he better apologize or else. He said I just spoke, this is the tweet he wrote after he deleted his other tweets. Just spoke to some people that I respect and trust, I should have been more educated on the topic and not tweeted out of emotion for my family and others who have served. For that I apologize, he goes on to say, also, if what I've been told about also, if what I'm told about the attempts to bring the marine home are true, then the best outcome was accomplished. I pray mister Whelan comes home, but I'm extremely happy for Britney and our family. I am not too prideful to admit when I made a mistake. I respect what he said, but you didn't make a mistake. You know what? You don't have to delete what you said. You can add context to what you said.

How Biden Caved to Putin With Prisoner Exchange
"You know, I wish they could be honest with us. And say, hey, she's a high profile person. Listen, it makes more sense to bring her home. If we lose a basketball player, that's popular that's going to look bad on us. So we brought a home. I'm just going to keep you real with y'all. We'll try this again and get way back, but we had the brain pretty grinding back. It's politically expedient to do that. Just keep it 100. Just keep 100. Think about this. You know what? You know how whack it betrayed that is? It tells you what negotiators we have on the table. They go, Putin tells him if you want the basketball player, give us this guy. If you don't want to give us this guy, CC, let me tell you how they framed it. She said it was Brittany griner and nobody. Well, you didn't have to give up the you didn't have to give a Victor guy. Victor bow, you didn't have to give him up, did you? They say Brittany grinder and nobody, he said, when we ain't giving up, Victor bout. So screw him, we'll put him to death in America. You give us both our people and we put him to death. What you want to do? I think that could have been a good argument. But no, they go, Russia, Vladimir Putin, spit on a picture of Joe Biden and then said, you give us this man back or else. We're going to put this boy to work. Oh, this girl that looked like a boy to work. And he said, okay, we'll do whatever you want to do Vladimir.

"To me about the Britney griner story and a couple more minutes. We have here. We haven't seen an explicit trade yet, have we? No. No, we haven't. And my frustration is calling it the Britney greiner story. I can say that. I know I know. But if I thought about it more, right? So she's in the news because they appealed. Nobody appeals these sentences in Russia, but she has good PR team. And in a sense, her legal team is serving as a PR to me. Keeps her name in the news. And she has, and she's earned it. But she has the celebrity status somewhat. And a PR team. But Paul Whelan and Mark bogle don't. And I understand why they don't do it. Brittany greiner's team, but I want her out of Russia because the penalty seems so the penalty for her crime does seem absurdly harsh to us. Paul Whelan and Mark fogle also need to be out and certainly there should be no less focus on the two of them. I'm pretty convinced that the Biden administration is not making that focus less, but they're also not talking about them as much. That might be quite wise. We do hear some talk. There's some admission on the Russia side that there's negotiation going on, I believe there's negotiation going on and looking at everything else about the way the Biden administration has handled this situation and other foreign policy situations, people like to harp on Afghanistan withdrawal. No matter how we got out of Afghanistan, it was going to be messy. There was no way to do that, not. But unfortunately, the administration takes the plane. But if we look at the rest of the Biden administration's foreign policy, it has been success after success and really admirable and amazing work and I have to believe that that is the case in this situation as well There was a little note from Bill Richardson, it sounds like he might be involved in this prisoner swap negotiation yet again. We have to see we get Paul wheeling out. We have to leave it there. Joel Austro is a Professor of comparative and international politics. At Benedictine university. Okay, Joel, we'll call again.

"Welcome. I wanted to talk about a developing news story surrounding a young woman by the name of Brittany griner. You probably know her from the WNBA, although I don't know if anybody watches the WNBA. Just jokes, just jokes. These are fantastic women. But Britney griner was actually detained while in Russia. On February 17th for allegedly carrying a marijuana concentrate in her luggage. Now, I was familiar with Brittany griner, not through her work with the WNBA, but because she was dedicated to protesting America, mainly in the name of Black Lives Matter, Brittany griner said that she would be protesting during the national anthem all season for the W and BA. We see this in the form of kneeling during the national anthem, not pledging to the flag, not wanting to show any allegiance or pride for one's country. And many WNBA players followed suit with her. We saw the NBA also participate. We saw football participate virtually every sport. It was starting to be politicized in taking a stance in support of Black Lives Matter. Of course we got many athletes who decided to step outside of that idea. Joshua Jonathan Isaac from the Orlando Magic was one of the many or should I say few, really, who decided to stand during the national anthem and not protest this country. But Brittany griner has fallen into misfortune. She was in Russia. She got detained at an airport for apparently having these marijuana cartridges in her suitcase. And has now been detained there for over 100 days. And suddenly, America is looking real good to Britney kreiner as you might imagine. When you go to another country and experience what happens there, oftentimes where your freedoms are taken away, or the laws don't exactly align with those here in the United States, or you don't have the same rights and privileges that you get to exercise in the United States. The tune starts to change a little bit. And I think that with young people in particular, a lot of the disdain that they feel for this country is just by virtue of not being educated about the unique opportunities rights and privileges that they have living here. It's really easy while being in America to stand up and say I hate this country, a change needs to be made and I'm going to be the one to make it and I'm oppressed and I'm a victim. But when you fall into a situation of misfortune like Brittany griner has in Russia, things look different. Now I will talk about that, but I also want to highlight somebody who's come in with a response to this ever changing story. And that is LeBron James. You know him for being quite a protester of the United States of America as well. He's made a splash with the Black Lives Matter movement in many horrible ways, and he is no stranger to criticizing this country. Here's what he had to say about Brittany griner in her situation. I don't know how many of them follow the Britney grinder's situation. Everybody followed that. No. So there's a woman named Brittany griner. It was an amazing basketball player, amazing person. She was in Russia playing the war broke out. On her way back flying home, they said she had some amount of hash, which was illegal in Russia, and she is in Russia, we don't really know where she's been there over a hundred. He got to be over a 110 days. That was going on. The NBA season has started and she still, she still is not coming back. She hasn't come back. And she's a superstar. So we're talking about. We're talking about this is the.

"Britney griner? Wow, that's a complicated question. Mainly, she is a superstar women's basketball player, one of the best in the game, one of the best at what she does. What she showed in this tournament just shows you at what level she can go to and how she can dominate a game and, you know, I always tell her, I don't even think you know how good you are. But that also is the best thing about her. She's the ultimate teammate. She's very tall, which naturally makes her very good at basketball because of this unique skill set that she has in addition to her athleticism, just her height, differentiates her. And she is among many, many basketball players who have to play overseas in the off season of the WNBA in order to really realize their true revenue potential and in order to be able to really live off of their craft..

"Where I want to spend my money. And he did. In Moscow, bird made her WNBA salary ten times over. That kind of money is why Britney griner, another WNBA star, was moonlighting in Russia. Last month, Russian customs official detained grinder at an airport outside Moscow for allegedly carrying hashish oil. In this week, a Russian court ruled she would be held until at least May 19th. U.S. State Department officials tell 60 minutes they haven't been allowed to see grinder in detention. Bird told us her own detour to Russia had its troubling moments too. Shaft eye was with us for three and I guess like a half of those seasons. He was murdered in our fourth year. I played one more year. You say that very casually. Can we just back up? I knew this was what you want to talk about. The man who recruited you was murdered. Yes. So he wore a lot of hats. That's one way to put it. Kalmanovich was a former KGB spy in businessman with a record of operating outside the law. Investigators concluded that his shooting in 2009 was targeted. The kind of money he was paying could change people's lives. Did it change yours? Absolutely. I'm a millionaire because of it. And honestly, I think the more the league grows, the more coverage we get, maybe players won't have to go overseas because they'll be making enough money here. And I think that is ultimately the goal. That's a threshold. When WNBA players don't have to supplement their income. In the off season. We're right there..

"Somebody who is more of an outsider. Coming in i was like damn. I didn't know britney griner capacity like that so that has been really fun to watch. We've got two more teams have really quick number one the minnesota lynx. This team obviously been fantastic after own. Four start They've been really good since the olympic olympic break. How are you feeling about where they're at. Because i think they they're one of the teams. I look at that in terms of like playing up against the sun. I don't know what their matchups have been like against the sun this year. Not good not good. Okay Well how do you feel about their ability to match up size wise because i do feel like they're one of the teams that does kind of have some of the lineup for still in the size upfront to try and match up with connecticut and are just like they're totally overall. I do think they may be struggled a little bit with guard. Play like was`ia. Clarendon has been awesome especially as a driver but they're not getting guarded to the arc and it's not like the end of the world but also you can see a lot of possessions. Die out that way for them as much as they do for the rest of the offense. But anyways i mean sylvia fowles has been fucking awesome like absolutely incredible watching her. Just destroy. send a liberty into a different states. was pretty pretty damn fun this is just like a same similarly the benign salacious kind of does everything and it's a joy to watch. Where are you guys out with the links right now. You don't look so super excited on they're They're a team. That i think you talk about having a hard cap on what they they can do. I think i think they're floor is much higher than a lot of these other teams because like that's the value of like having one of the all time greatest coaches and sylvia files. In her downtime is a mortician. so you know she's used to. She's used to burying people. She used to putting people away for good. So we're still working on nickname i believe. But there's there's there's a floor to where they are what they can be in there and they're they never ever let down from that like it's i think lower than these other contenders that we've we've been talking about is like i'd really love for it to be different. But the way they rely on kayla mcbride is just. It's exhausting to watch one. And two like kerr. Workload is unreal. She is sprinting off. Every screen both offensively and defensively. She's getting one of the. If not be toughest perimeter cover like you know one of the toughest now that aerial powers back. But like they're so reliant on that and there's not as like the shooting doesn't scare you in the way that like these other teams can like they can get hot from three and win.

Were already playing at home and they'd been playing together and that probably some of it. But what tomahawk tom. Yoga's able to do really impressive with his team. And i don't think enough can be said about the job that the women's Team for japan so a lot of credit to them. They were absolutely incredible and i mean they if the canadian team wants to hire tom hold. I would certainly not be opposed to that. Maybe they could get more than one win out of that team for the next olympic games. I yeah i mean it. It's an idea mean japan. You know they won that close game against belgium that i don't think anybody would have you know. Pick them They defeated francis well. got the bronze-medal. But just like it's so. I love seeing just like women's basketball outside of wnba. As well. because. I feel like you know a lot of people know the wnba players in the olympics so just to see all these other international players really good for the growth of women's basketball in general. I like because it is an international game. I feel like in some ways like it is a lot more international than we think even wnba players like they play overseas all timely. The some sports are just more international and the others like tennis being another one of those. But it's really nice ac- and i think that every every single olympics people just kind of tie in like bo. Women's sports are actually really good. And i feel like every time lille olympics pass or like oh we need to invest in them like. Yeah we've been trying to tell you this for god knows how long but you know it's good to have that spotlight on them and Speaking of a spotlight Brittany griner less. I'm gonna start with her because she had a thirty piece in that game. Like let's talk about you. Know her importance on this team. Usa why i mean like i said like obviously japan was over batch in terms of size. I think they're paul's player was like six one. And then you're going up against britney griner six eight like you're you're gonna have a tough time. So obviously britney griner was buried key Today's game. I think you just see like what the international with international rules you saw that with the tournament as well that bigger players with size carry more important in these games You can't just like they don't give you the foul calls and things of that nature so brittany griner is able to dominate. Because just bigger players get better. Call get a better whistle internationally as they probably should here in north america as well and brittany griner just like there was the league. They had the advantage there and they just kept going to it and she kept taking advantage of so credits. Britney griner for just never stopping and never settling for like an easy jumper. Something kept just kept taking advantage of the size matchup and just dominated that way and she always does that like well even talk about this maybe later but she didn't look tired in her first salvia. Va no game back either. I don't think any of the olympia. Instead like sue bird. Diana terachi judges suv dominating in the. The commissioner's cup game playing there and then diana with the mercury as well but i did want to get your thoughts on one thing because two players our bullying out. Asia wilson stewart. First of all. I do want to say congratulations stewart On her news a child. I thought that was very nice. Also the fact that she kept that under wraps that's like insane in itself but aside from that so we did get the mvp. A lot of people were saying that maybe asia asia wilson should have gotten it because she was balling out. I just kind of wanted to get your thoughts or opinion on that decision. I mean i. I'm a big asia. Wilson fan and i i i i will never say. She doesn't deserve an award. Because i think she deserves all the awards i think she's the best player in the w right now. That's like my personal opinion but I i don't think you can also deny.
