This is your next step in creating a beautiful, year -round, environmentally connected, low -maintenance, and healthy, thriving outdoor space. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an expert, there will always be something inspiring when you listen to The Garden Question podcast. Hello, I'm your host, Craig McManus. Dean Norton fell in love with the Mount Vernon Estate Gardens 53 years ago and never left. After receiving a degree in horticulture from Clemson University, he began his career as the estate's boxwood gardener. The historical gardens of the first president of the United States, George Washington, became his responsibility in 1980. His promotion to horticulturalists allowed him to apply the latest plant science and horticultural management techniques for historical gardens. Dean has devoted considerable time to researching 18th century gardens and gardening practices. He has received awards for conservation from the DAR and the Garden Club of America, as well as the Garden Club of America's Elizabeth Craig Weaver Proctor National Medal. He is an honorary member of the Garden Club of Virginia and the Garden Club of Providence. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Washington College, serves on several historic property boards, and lectures nationally and internationally. This is Episode 125, Cultivating History, Exploring George Washington's Mount Vernon Garden, with Dean Norton, an encore presentation and remix of Episode 64. Dean, why did General George Washington, the first president of the United States, garden? Well, he really gardened for necessity. The earliest gardens were called gardens of necessity for health and survival. Of course, the most important plant to be planted within a garden were vegetables, something that you were going to have at the dinner table to eat. Vegetables were huge to him. Even during the Revolutionary War, he wanted to make sure that his troops were getting as many vegetables as they could whenever possible. I would not actually call him a gardener per se, but for a year and a half, he became a designer. He totally redid his country seat from a very simplistic design to one following naturalistic design principles. Then that landscape were four very fine gardens that he oversaw. What story does the Mount Vernon Garden tell? Tell us the story of a man that wanted his gardening world to be complete, I would say. He had a very small botanic garden, which he fondly called his little garden. When he was here on site, he was typically doing that work himself on his knees, planting seed and seedling saplings. He kept such good records in that little tiny garden that we were able to recreate that quite nicely. His earliest gardens were a fruit and nut garden and a kitchen garden, but when he changed his design, the kitchen garden remained as it is. The fruit and nut garden became a pleasure garden with vegetables in there as well, which is kind of an interesting combination. He had a vineyard for a while, but the grapes failed, and that became a fruit garden and nursery. The nursery was for plants that he could grow to plant on other areas of the estate and also to grow things just for collection of seed. What is today's mission for the garden? Today's mission for the garden is interpretation. We are trying to share with our visitors what life was like in the 18th century, why these gardens were important. Certainly after 1785, the gardens took on a new role, which was for people to come when he had created here at Mount Vernon. The story of gardeners themselves, the gardeners that Washington hired through the Articles of Indenture, also the enslaved gardeners that worked with the professional gardener to cultivate till to harvest. It's a great story. It's one that we thoroughly enjoy telling. Gardening really hasn't changed much from the 18th century, so the more we're out there digging in the earth, we think of those gardeners from the past. Today's visitors, how do they respond? I'll tell you what, when they come through the gates and they get to the Bowling Green Gate and see the house for the first time, that's exactly what they were expecting to see, this beautiful house that Washington lived in. But then the further they go into the landscape, they're really totally blown away by the amount of landscape and gardens that Washington had. They weren't expecting that at all. I think the gardens are well received, and I think that the stories we tell throughout the estate in so many different areas are certainly appreciated by our visitors. The garden's been there for about two and a half centuries. You've told us that there's four gardens that make up the Mount Vernon Garden. Could we walk through each one of those and you tell us about them? Sure. The panic garden is a simple garden, very small. It was intended to plant things that Washington was not familiar with, although sometimes other things that he knew quite well ended up in there as well. He received 500 Chinese seed, which he planted in one of the beds. None of them came up. So actually, we could show one of the beds with nothing but bare dirt and we would be exactly correct. That was his playground, and he truly loved getting plants he wasn't familiar with and planting them in there, and he did most of the work in there himself. There was an area that he started a vineyard, hoping to get some grapes for making wine, but that failed. That four -acre area became a fruit garden and nursery. Washington kept such good records that the fruit trees are planted exactly as he describes in that particular enclosure. Part of it is a nursery as well, where he grew trees and shrubs, also some other grasses and things just for the collection of seed. The kitchen garden was the first garden laid out in 1760, and that has been cultivated as a kitchen garden since 1760. It's never changed in its purpose, which is the only garden like that on the estate. Both the kitchen garden and fruit nut garden were an acre in size, so that's a significant garden. The nut garden changed from a garden of necessity to a pleasure garden, and that was meant to be the aha moment. When people were strolling around the Bowling Green, they could look through that gate, they saw a beautiful conservatory. The idea was to walk in there and just enjoy the beauty of the flowers, and those flowers were there for their enjoyment and not for their use. I think his gardening world was quite complete. You said the conservatory, would that be the greenhouse? That's correct. It had a greenhouse that he copied from a lovely property called Mount Clare, just to the north of Baltimore. The owner was Margaret Carroll. He asked for permission for some information, and she was thrilled and gave him all that he needed, even his first plants for his collection, to get his greenhouse started. I started studying that greenhouse in pictures. When I think greenhouse, I think a glass top or a plastic top or something like that, and this was constructed quite different. Could you tell us about how it was constructed and it was heated? The greenhouses in the 18th century typically just had glass panes on the south side, this was southern exposure. Also typically they were triple home windows, so you could open top and bottom to allow for good air circulation. This was quite modern, very good. It had a vaulted ceiling, so hot air didn't get trapped up at the corners. It had a wood door on the west side of the structure to keep afternoon sun from coming in. It was too hot. A glass door on the east side to allow morning sun in. It had shutters that closed very tight, so in the wintertime when you got whatever heat you could get from the solar energy, you could close those shutters and retain the heat overnight. It was heated by a stove room on the opposite side of the structure. The fire pit was quite low, and that hot air and smoke would go underneath the slate floor in the greenhouse and then rise up along the back wall and out the chimney. It was very efficient. It housed the semi -tropical plants and citrus trees in the winter. Not for them to continue to fruit, so he had lemons and limes and all that. Just to keep them alive in the wintertime. In all these gardens, he's combining beauty with necessity. How did he accomplish that? The one garden that really does that beautifully is the upper garden, or pleasure garden. He wanted a pleasure garden. He wanted the aha moment when someone walked into there. It's a 10 -foot -wide path, edged in boxwood with this greenhouse at the end. He was concerned, though, in that he didn't want to lose a lot of space to the growth of vegetables, which were still the most important plant that he grew on the property. 18th century horticulture said, look, George, you can do both. Plant your vegetables and then surround them with a border of flowers. The border could be three feet, five feet, whatever you so decide. It's the border that's actually the pleasure garden. So you're really not losing that much space to growing vegetables. How did Washington change his gardens to enhance Mount Vernon's natural beauty? He adopted the naturalistic style. There are four key elements of that. The curve line is nature's gift, management of surprises, random planting, and hidden barriers. If you can do those four things, you're well on your way to a wonderful naturalistic design. The management of surprises, the curve line helps you with that. Around each bend, you can do something different. The book that he's learning all these techniques from was written by a gentleman named Batty Langley. He wrote the book in 1728 called New Principles of Gardening. Washington purchased it in 1759. Langley goes in, he says, once you've seen one quarter of your garden, you should not have seen it all. There's nothing more shocking and stiff than a regular garden. He said every garden must have good shade. If you have to walk more than 20 paces in full sun, your walk is not worth it. Washington really took all these thoughts and comments to heart and made sure he put trees on either side of his serpentine avenues. Around each bend, he added shrubberies in wilderness areas and groves. It really was a complete landscape, and it was all just trying to stay within the qualifications or the requirements of a naturalistic garden. There are many historical events that took place away from Mount Vernon. For long periods of time, Washington was gone. How did he stay in touch with his garden and its growing? Much to his demise, much to our benefit, Washington, during the 45 years he lived here at Mount Vernon, he was away for 16 years, only visiting his house a couple times during all that time. When he is away, he's communicating with the land manager with lengthy letters, three, four, five pages long, giving him instructions to do this, make sure that is done, have you planted this, I want to try to do this next. We have that exchange of letters. Gives us a tremendous advantage in being able to represent Mount Vernon as accurately as we do in today's world. You should be considered the current garden overseer, but there's been many that have come before you. Have you got any good overseer stories about your predecessors? Yeah, there's some. I'm number 37. I don't know if that number is exactly correct, but I'm honored to be the current gardener, whatever number I am. They were all pretty competent in their practices. Washington called one clever because he was so good at grafting trees. Probably one of the cutest ones is when Washington's trying to hire a gardener. He's writing to his land manager saying that the gardener should not have any children, but if he does, only one, but certainly no more than two. He just keeps going on and on, giving almost any option possible for the gardener. He was always looking for the Scottish gardener because they were some of the best. I'm thrilled to be following in the footsteps of so many great gardeners. I hope that I'm continuing their tradition of maintaining a beautiful Mount Vernon. Tell us about the people that worked in the gardens during Washington's time. He hired gardeners under the Articles of Indenture, so they would come over, he would pay their way, and they would have to work that to pay Washington back. Some of them stayed for many years. There was a German gardener named John Christian Eller who was here for a number of years. They had a bit of a falling out, but apparently after Washington passed away, he actually returned because there is something in the notes about a German gardener saying that he used to work here. There is one from Holland, England, and then of course you had your Scottish gardener at the very end of his life, which Washington said that he was dedicated, sober, passionate about his work, and that in short, he's the best hired servant I've ever had. What makes it even better is that he says he has never been happier. I think that's really wonderful, and it certainly rings true for me. For being here at Mount Vernon as long as I have, my life here as a gardener has been a very happy experience. What did the garden go through between Washington's death and until the time it was bought by its current owners? It started to fall and disappear rapidly. Visitors' accounts have been occurring since Washington lived here. People visiting, and they write in their diaries or letters to friends, which is tremendously valuable to us, for that is our Polaroid to the past. Washington died in 1799, and visitors in 1801, 1802 are saying that it's deteriorating, it doesn't look anything like it did during Washington's time, so things just started to fall apart a little bit. You didn't have the money, you didn't have the dedication maybe to do as well. Not to say that work wasn't being done and things weren't being cleaned up as best as possible, but definitely it was noticeable to visitors that it was in a bit of disarray. When the Ladies Association purchased the property in 1858, things started to change, of course, quickly. And of course, Mount Vernon is in their hands today, it's a beautiful, beautiful site. Did they buy it from the family? They bought it from John Augustine Washington, the fourth Washington that owned the property before it was sold to the ladies. It cost them $200 ,000, and with that they received 200 acres, where others said you should take everything down but the mansion, because that's all that's important. They made the decision that they wanted to keep everything that was there during Washington's time, which was absolutely the right thing to do. We have all the outbuildings. It's an amazing opportunity for visitors to come to see an estate, a plantation, as it was during the time of the owner. Are there new discoveries being made through modern archaeology and research, or do you feel like you've re -established everything there? No, there are new discoveries all the time. It's amazing. Archaeology, the science, is becoming more and more exact all the time, with radar and LiDAR flyovers and just all these wonderful techniques that they now have. We're still finding letters that we didn't have before. Eventually we may find the plan that Washington did for the Bowling Green. We have the plan's key that is in his hand, but we don't have the actual plan itself. You can never write the final chapter in this adventure that we're in here from Washington's time till now. We try to represent things as accurately as we can, but we may find a new letter or something that will totally alter our interpretation of what we were using or going on to create an area that we thought was accurate, but new information may change that, and we will go back and make those changes so that it's historically accurate. Where did Washington acquire his plants? Initially, the landscape was completed by nothing but trees and shrubs that he found in his wildernesses surrounding Mount Vernon. So it's certainly a native landscape, and he identified these plants in the wintertime by structure and bud and had them dug and brought back. He did say that he was looking for exotics. He loved plants of all sorts. Now, we don't know if an exotic to him was Mexico or South Carolina, but what we do know is he said he wanted plants outside of his geographic area. People sent him gifts of plants often. Also he ordered from three of the principal nurseries of the time, John Bartram in Philadelphia, William Hamilton in New York, and Prince on Long Island. He ordered a lot of these plants and that he was experimenting with and putting within his landscape. I heard a story about a Franklin tree. Was that ever a part of the estate? The Franklinia, I think it was actually ordered from Philadelphia, and we've tried to grow them any number of times. We can't get them to survive. They're very finicky. They need to be in a spot they're really happy with, and so far we haven't found that spot on the estate, unfortunately. What's the significance of the Bond Plan? A gentleman named Samuel Vaughan visited Mount Vernon in 1784, I think it was, or 83. He was a landscape designer. He did a good bit of work up in the Philadelphia area, actually did some work around Independence Hall. He came and visited Mount Vernon, and in his sketchbook drew the plan of the estate, and then went back to Philadelphia. We drew a beautiful big plan that was very, very accurate. Washington said that you've drawn my estate accurately except that you've enclosed the view with trees, and so the only problem that Washington states is when looking from the house down the Bowling Green, down a vista to the forest beyond, there were two willow mounds that were planted on the Bowling Green. They weren't meant to act as punctuation points. No planting would occur within that, so you had a wide open view to the west. Whatever reason, Vaughan decided to draw trees all in there. In Washington's eye, it was all correct except for that. So it's a beautiful plan, archaeologists have used it, and all the buildings that he shows on that plan are where they find them when they dig in the soil. So he was recording the existence and not proposing new things. There's been some debate about that because Vaughan was a designer, and some say, well, how do we know that this is something Washington had, or was Vaughan drawing what he thought it should be? The written account seemed to support what Vaughan was drawing was accurate. So it's all about interpretation. We could look at two passages somewhere and interpret it both totally differently. I think the Vaughan plan is amazing. I think it's as accurate as we can possibly get. You've mentioned the Bowling Green a couple of times. What grass did they use in the Bowling Green? Their grass was called goosegrass or speargrass. They also had rye, and it's even bluegrass. It was a very coarse grass. Coarse grass was kind of important, actually, because they mowed it with the English sigh, and a very fine -bladed grass would be very difficult to cut with that implement, whereas the wider -bladed grass, they could cut quite nicely if they had a good sharp edge on their sigh, and the sickle, of course, would have been the weed eater. The Bowling Green was meant for games and entertaining and would have been mowed on a regular basis, rigged, rolled, and mowed right up until you may have a drought or something where the grass would stop growing, just like we have in an experience today. What variety do you grow there now? Weeds. It's just, I'm serious. It looks great from a distance, but if you walk up on it, it's just clover and creeping Charlie, and if it's green, I'm fine. We don't want to use chemicals on the lawn. We have a lot of visitors, a lot of children running around, so it's just as natural as possible. We overseed and everything, but no, just don't look too closely. Well, that'd be more accurate to the period, I guess. You know, I don't know. It'd be interesting to see the grass back then. It was maintained in a way that it was intended for them to bowl. They had lots of games with the hoops and other things, so it was used a great deal as a green for entertaining. How do you cut it now? Oh, we have John Deere's to go 13 miles an hour. It's pretty nice. You know, front deck mowers, it's great. Is that a reel? No, my goodness, no. Years ago when I started, our only riding mower was a Toro reel. Now, nothing against Toro, okay, but that thing never worked. Poor man that was operating, he was a World War II vet, and he was always in the shop just standing here waiting for his mower to work. So no, it's not a reel. My dad had a reel mower, and he was always working on it too. My dad's way to fix anything was with a screwdriver, not to actually tighten any screws. He would just beat on it. He was so upset. You've got the serpentine pass. What materials did they use? It was a combination of gravel and clay, pea gravel, smaller grade gravel, and it was cobblestone up around the circle in front of the mansion. Washington said if he could find any alternative form of paving, he would certainly use it because gravel roads were constant maintenance of raking, rolling, adding new gravel to keep them from being muddy all the time. That's exactly what was used in the gardens as well, was a gravel type path. Is that gravel mine from the Potomac? Washington talks about a gravel pit. It would seem as if they got a lot of it from the Potomac, and they would have sifted it to get the right size stone that they wanted. I think there were a couple sources, but not real clear on it. What kind of staff does it take to maintain all this? In horticulture, my responsibility has to do with anything that deals with chlorophyll and manure. The gardeners, just like in the 18th century, they said a garden an acre in size will require one full -time gardener, and so every principal garden we have is one full -time gardener working in that spot. Then we have a swing gardener that does all the smaller gardens and helps in the other gardens as well. We have a landscape gardener that takes care of all the non -exhibition areas. It's truly bare bones. We have some summertime help, college students, some high school. College students love it. We give them as much opportunity to learn whatever they want if they want to work in the greenhouse or use equipment. It's a really great program that we have for that. Then we have our livestock crew. We have five full -time livestock employees that maintain the genetic line of three very rare breeds, and those animals are here for interpretation as well. One thing I just want to share is that Mount Vernon is a very special place. People come and they don't leave real quickly. I've got almost 53 years. Our five livestock staff combined have 92 years of service here at Mount Vernon. It's just truly amazing. Wow. What type of livestock? We have a milking red devon, beautiful reddish -brown cow, aussebal island hogs, hog island sheep, and a Narragansett turkey. So all these are on exhibition at our Pioneer Farmers site, which is a site that we created in the 1990s down near the river. That's a site where we interpret Washington the farmer. That's the livestock's playground. They get to take the animals down there, the oxen, the horses, and work the fields. So it's really very exciting. It helps bring the estate to life. Are you taking the manures and the straw and things like that and using it in compost, or how does that all work? 100 percent. That's all we use. We have huge piles that we are able to windrow with using a manure spreader. We always have these windrows, just these lines of the material that is whipped around by the manure spreader. The row is about maybe eight feet wide, ten feet wide, and it's about six feet high. The oldest windrow is used as the fertilizer used in the gardens. And once that's gone, we windrow the next row over to aerate it again. We just always have a source of compost that we can use in the gardens, and it just works out beautifully for us. How long does it typically age? It doesn't take long, really. We have a pile that's been here for so long that even stuff that is not that old, maybe three months or so, when you mix it up with the other, it turns out very, very well. In the 18th century, Washington would take manure from the stables and just put them in a dung repository for a fortnight or two. You're only talking two or four weeks, and then they thought it was readily available for the gardens. So it was much more rapid for them than it is for us. Are there any special approaches that you take to maintaining a historical garden? The approach to maintaining a historic garden really is visual. We want them to see a garden that is planted in the manner that would have been in the 18th century. We want them to see what an 18th century garden looked like. As far as our actual practices, it is really no different than what would have been going on in the 18th century. Our tools may be a little sturdier, a little nicer, rakes, shovels, soil life, and everyone has one of those on their bill. You can do anything with those. As far as planting, we're definitely concerned about height derangement more than color coordination. We want to make sure the plants we plant are appropriate to the 18th century. Paths, the box which should be trimmed, are very short. They were never intended to be a backdrop for perennials, just as a border. That's the main thing. We want it to look right. The way we take care of it, that hasn't changed for 250 years. What are your biggest challenges with the garden? People, compaction, really the damage that comes from, especially kids, I used to share that the worst pest we can have is a child that's been on a bus for five hours from somewhere, gets here and the chaperones go, go, go, and they just start running. Back when we had big boxwood, they would just go and run and jump in and break a branch of a 150 year old boxwood within 10 seconds and that's hard to control with any kind of spray or whatever. But I developed to have a hard trap that was a bit larger. I found out I put an iPad or something in there, I could catch five or six at a time and I would let them off at the West Gate. The chaperones would eventually find them, but at least we got them out of the garden.
The Dan Bongino Show
Fresh update on "devon" discussed on The Dan Bongino Show
"Once or twice, Sarah Hurd, Doug Smith, Ed Campi, Stacey Hetherington and Harold Jenkins did I mention? I did mention that. There are five. So, if you've ever been to Florida, Donald Trump has a 17 acre estate. It's called Mar -a -Lago. You've probably heard of it. People in the media, they know they've heard of it because it's all they write about. And a judge up in New York, Long short, story it says Donald Trump was trying to get a loan, so if you want a loan, you collateralize the loan, so you want a maximum collateral. If Donald Trump or anyone, say Jim, wanted a loan for $100 million, no bank's going to that give him loan unless Jim presents some kind of collateral. No one's going to give you a $100 million loan, naked they're just not going to do it. So, a loan. What he wants to do is Jim wants to go there, and Jim wants to make sure that he can show maximum value. So So Jim's obviously going to say, well judge, I'll put up my house and my house is worth x. So he's obviously going to shoot for for the highest valuation. So Donald Trump shot for a pretty high valuation on his that's what he wants to do. So we understand the facts because disappointingly there's now because again, I'm getting tired of this to its primary season, and you got the Donald Trump's opponents in the primary people put now falsehoods. Let me Donald Trump like there's no evidence whatsoever. Donald Trump lied about anything. He had a different valuation for the property. The bank goes and does a third party valuation anyway. You tracking me? So Donald Trump wants to say give the maximum value so you can get the maximum loan. The judge comes back and says, no, Donald Trump thinks Mar -a -Lago is worth way too much. It's probably more in the 20 million dollar range. Folks, let me tell you something. You're not supposed to talk about money. I don't care. I don't care. I'm pissed off today. So all the rules are going out the window. Jim's been to my house. I bought this house five years ago. This house is about a little over half an acre. It's off the water, but it's not even the water Donald Trump's off of. I'm off of the river. He's off of the ocean. Ocean property is geometrically more expensive because the river water down here sadly gets brown sometimes because of the discharges and stuff. It doesn't matter. I'm just telling you, I know Florida. How do I know Florida? Because I've lived here for eight years. I live right near Mar -a -Lago. I'm in the same geographic region. I have a river house unlike the inner coastal kind of area. I bought the house for one point five million at a half acre an and I bought it five years ago in a down market. Donald Trump has seventeen acres in Palm Beach that crosses this little road onto the ocean on the other side. There is an empty lot next door that is less than half the size with nothing but trees The judge is like, I don't know. All hell broke loose. It was, it's worth twenty eight billion. Let me tell you something, if this judge ever resigns and gets into real estate business, do not hire this dip wad ever. Twenty eight million? I could make the case to you right now that the crapper in the back of Donald Trump's apartment would sell for twenty eight million. The bathroom's probably five hundred square feet. If they turn that into an apartment, he'd probably get twenty eight million for that. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's Donald Trump. So the rules go out the window and they needed to convict him of something in a civil court to draw attention away from the fact that Joe Biden's house where he lives was the recipient address of a quarter million dollar payment from people connected with the Chinese Communist Party. Folks, there's a line about Palm Beach where Mar -a -Lago is. I was going to say it before and I got sidetracked a bit. He lives in Palm Beach, not West Palm Beach. West Palm Beach is wealthy, too. So the joke down there in Palm Beach County is that the doctors live in West Palm Beach. The guy in the hospital lives in Palm Beach. You're telling me Donald Trump was one of the largest properties in Palm Beach Island? You're telling me his property is worth $28 million at my little rinky -dink house here on the river? I bought for $1 .5 million five in a down market? We don't live in a serious country anymore, folks. There's no one fighting for you. There's no one coming to rescue you. The whole system's got to change. You know, Levin had the right idea with these Liberty amendments. You've got to restrict these people completely from acting. A balanced budget amendment. You can't trust if no Republican Party. Nobody serious from county level people to national people. We're looking at the biggest, most corruption -laden administration American in history. Everybody's sitting on their ass. You got Biden's dog biting everybody at the White House like his third dog, the kid. What kind of a sick does Biden have to be that every dog he gets chomps on someone's nuts? I mean, what the heck is this guy? Folks, listen, I have a dog. Okay, granted, it's not a German Shepherd, but German Shepherds are good dogs. If they're biting people, it's probably because the owner's a moron. This is Joe Trump's 18th dog that's chewing people's sacks off. And it's like, nobody thinks you have you have a crazy person in the White House. His literal home address is listed as a recipient payment for a quarter million dollar payment in 2019 as he announces his candidacy. And nobody in the world. No, it is. No, it is who? Jim, we have to know evidence. Supercut queue up for me. Come on. Again, in case you think I'm making this up. Hat tip Tom Elliott over at Grabian. Here's the no evidence Supercut. No evidence, folks, at all. Check this out. The president has been in politics for a long time. And I think as he would say, he's seen a lot of malarkey along the way. But this might take the cake. This is all smoke and no fire. What a waste of time and money. I don't see any probable cause here. There's just no evidence. I have not seen any evidence. There's no evidence of any crime at all. No evidence so far that ties Joe Biden to any of this, at least nothing that they have brought forward and that we have seen. You seen said evidence? No, not a scintilla of evidence. There is not a shred of evidence that President Joe Biden has engaged in doing. No business dealings of Hunter Biden's or anyone's was discussed in these conversations. I making making it up. There is not a shred of evidence that President Joe Biden has committed an impeachable offense. A substantial majority of Americans believe something which is not true. There is not a shred of evidence that President Joe Biden has committed a crime. You got to have a crime I think the impeachment inquiry is absurd. I think that that's absurd. It's ridiculous, of course. This is part of the right wing's misinformation information machine to try to confuse people. Distract, distort and assemble. Yeah, there's definitely no evidence evidence folks. I mean you're absolutely right guys. No evidence at all. I mean Jim outside of again this suspicious activity of a crime. Family was up to something. The bank records, the FBI form in 1023 forms. The Tony Babalinsky testimony, the Devon Archer testimony, the text to Eric indicating Schwerin Biden had access to credit lines. Joe Biden, the text from Hunter Biden about giving half half his money to pop the photos of Joe Biden at business meetings, the actual recorded phone calls of Joe Biden with Poroshenko, the son of a B tape, the text messages from Joe Biden.

His name is Davin Michaels Davin's an entrepreneur he's a crypto guy and He was on episode number 382 of this podcast a little more than three years ago But you might not know it because he was on the same show as dr. Ron Paul Dr. Paul, of course was the headliner and then there was like oh also Davin and I wanted to give him the spotlight today because we've got a lot of really interesting things to talk about Davin Michaels welcome back to the Republic of bad cryptopia, sir Mr. Joel calm my dear friend of almost 15 years. It's great to be here with you Mika No, I think it might be longer than that. I think it might be too if we had met around 2007 it's it's 16 years. Yeah. Yeah, we just taken it your way for me. I'm sorry about that We just celebrated the 15th year of one to three employee. I was shooting a commemorative video for our employees So that's 15 years there Wow And for those of you watching the video version on YouTube rumble or Odyssey that is a real background Davin lives really a big stones throw away from me right on the harbor here in Palma still Mar and It's a beautiful day. It's a hot day But you know, what's mind -boggling to me is here We are closer than the rest of the states to the equator and they've been having a worse heat wave Then we've been having yeah, not too bad here. Not too bad. Nice breeze Beautiful paradise all year long. Yeah So for those of you that really want to go deep on the Puerto Rico connection and the tax benefits I recommend you go back to the episode. We recorded three years ago. It's bad co dot in 382 we'll have that in the show notes for this particular episode as well But I want to touch on it Devon before we get into some other things today Including we're gonna be talking about so you guys want to stay tuned for this an interesting opportunity To go on a cruise with us in April. That's a little teaser for you let's let's start out with the overarching benefits of why Americans are moving to Puerto Rico Yeah, absolutely so Puerto Rico is a territory and if you are a u .s Citizen and you jump through the legal hoops and you make Puerto Rico your legal home In other words, you live here at least half the year then you essentially pay almost no tax So we pay four percent federal income tax We pay zero percent capital gains We pay zero percent in dividends and it is truly a game -changer a dear friend of both yours and mine and neighbor of So many years John Lee Dumas who is an unbelievably successful podcaster JLD always says I work 4 % of the year for the federal government and 96 % of the rest of the year for myself. He said he works the first couple of weeks of the year for the government then that's it and That's that's a big game -changer. So we lived in LA where we were paying I don't know between You know corporate and federal and state and I think I was paying about 63 % in taxes and it was just absolutely ridiculous And so we first moved to Vegas got rid of the state tax and then eventually moved here and got rid of most of it But there's so many more benefits, too So for example, one of the greatest benefits is is deal flow and you were talking about that a few minutes ago The amazing people you meet here because you got to be a mover and shaker to do this You know, you you have a tax situation, right? You need to save money. You're doing well in addition to that To pick up and move to a territory You have to be a pioneer which you are such a pioneer and you you and I both have that pioneering spirit as does Everybody over here. And then what happens is you have to spend at least a half a year in paradise. It just sucks Right. I mean look at this. It's just so hard, you know, so it's gorgeous here all year long There's great food great people and the actual people who live in Puerto Rico actual Puerto Ricans Are some of the loveliest people in in the world. They will just give the shirt off their back for you They are so nice. So wonderful and I'll give you an example You just walk down the street and people are saying good day to you. Good day. Good day Good day. Well, we leave we travel and and people aren't speaking to us like saying like greeting us on the street We're like gosh, you know you get used to this, right and then we greet people and they look at us like we're crazy But there's also a lot more benefits than just tax benefits. So so the way all this works is Puerto Rico is a territory. They have their own tax authority and it's not the IRS It's hacienda. And so if you're a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico, that's who you're paying your taxes to you're letting the IRS Know what you're up to but you're paying hacienda And there's all these other programs that are available to they used to be a whole bunch of different acts They've now put them under an umbrella called act 60 when Joel and I got into this It was called act 2022 and we were just two of those acts but now act 60 brings them all together and Just to give you some examples of some of these acts I have a car that is a plug -in hybrid It only gets 19 miles on a charge. Okay, it's just it's just a token thing But because it has a plug I was able to import it here tax -free and save 30 % in taxes There's an entertainment tax here. My cousin Danny was just here shooting a Pilot for Amazon. She got a 40 % tax break of which you can you know cash in that tax break at 97 and 19 to 99 cents on the dollar so it's essentially cash back There is a hospitality credit if you have like an Airbnb that has at least I think it's seven or eight beds and baths You get 40 % back over four years Many of you who might live in the u .s. Might be familiar with Opportunity zones where you get amazing tax benefits Well, 98 % of this entire island is an opportunity zone and this list just goes on and on I learn about all these new incentives all every day and I don't know all of them But in a few minutes, we're gonna talk about one way that I'm gonna both you and I are gonna learn all about them And by the way, Joel My guess is you don't know about all of them either. No, I don't I know, you know act 60 That's that's what I'm here on and it's you know, what you say is so true I came for the tax breaks. Yeah, and I did have friends already. I knew you and I knew JLT and Had visited in fact I think that we you're recording the last time you were on the show was when I first visited you In February 2020 the episode came out the the following month and we were going to move Yeah that May and then kovat hit and everything became more complicated and we put it off for another year But I'm really glad that I pulled the trigger when I did I came for the tax breaks But I'm staying for the community I have never in my life and I'm approaching 60 ever nor in a community like this of high performers of creative people of good hearted people and you have everything in where we live in Palma del Mar from Thousandaires to billionaires and from hanging out with people you wouldn't know the difference of who you're hanging out with Because it seems like the egos are largely checked at the gate and people were all here kind of for the same reasons Yeah, it's a yeah for sure. Sorry to interrupt. It's but yeah, it's like kind of a flip -flop and t -shirt community, right? So how are you gonna be flexing? You know what I mean? So it's nice. It's nice people do check their egos at the door I think for the most part there's all of these Groups that were in and signal and what's happened. There's always something going on You know, I've become a pickleball enthusiast since I've moved here. Erin is a big golf Enthusiast and you know, we we live on the golf course So holes five and six of the palms course are right behind our condo And the beach is right outside the door. And so it's just there's always something to do We're going somewhere tonight. Are you are you joining us tonight? What's going on tonight? I don't know Okay Yeah, check check with your social director. I'll check with mine. Yeah, but Like you said I've never experienced anything like it except on like television, right? These little you know, these TV shows that take place in this little small town Everybody knows each other and they're all like best homies, but I've never experienced in real life until moving to Puerto Rico I think part of it is you know when you're in the city like we came from Denver To somebody's orchestrate calendar with yours in multiple couples calendars to get together. It's a big deal It's an event here. There's so many people and so many friendly people that it's like hey, what are you doing for dinner tonight? Hey, we're having you know karaoke at our place this weekend we're going to the beach club on Sunday and and people just continue to get together to the point where We have now had to since we've been here vacations with Groups people of from here So we basically just pack up Puerto Rico and we put it on a cruise ship and take it on the road and we'll talk A little bit more about that here soon. By the way, are you going to Rustin's a rip your float party tomorrow? Yes, I am But we have another party simultaneously, so we're gonna be jumping back and forth So Let's you know, we kind of hit on the governmental programs the things that are available here And we'll try and find a website for you guys that has all of the different acts so that you can take a look at Those let's talk a little bit about some of the the services on the island and the things that people are working on Yeah, so what's interesting is well, okay. So let me start with my own personal experience. So I always I Felt that when we came here we were gonna approach this as we are a guest in this Territory and and so I don't you know, try to push my opinions or agenda on anybody and My goal was to make this place a better place than when I got here Right to make a difference and make an impact and I like I kind of an impact jump junkie so I really like that and a lot of people are doing the same thing here and You know, you could you could actually come here and say I'm not gonna do any of that I don't want to have any impact I'm just gonna do my time and so on and so forth and you would still impact the economy because you'd hire a ton of people to help you with a bunch of different stuff and you put a lot of money into the economy and so I'm involved in a lot of projects here One of my favorites is I am a member of PMPR partnership for modern Puerto Rico which is the think tank that was created by Alberto backo who's the former secretary of commerce to Puerto Rico and He actually if you came in on our program act of 2022 several years ago He would have signed the decree because it was he and his regime if you will that that that ushered in act 2022 And it has had such a huge impact on the on this island So many things are happening I'll give you an example in this enclave that we all live in There has not been new development here in two decades in 20 years because it was overbuilt in the heyday prior to 2008 Now there's new construction here And people are benefiting one of the things that is included in the act 60 program not in my decree But in the current decree is that you have to buy a property within two years You can come here you can rent a place.

"If you see public video of Devin Archer walking to the halls, he's smiling. Maybe he's actually dealing with some of that guilt. Honestly, good for you, Devin Archer. You're doing the right thing. You're doing the right thing. It's never too late to do the right thing. Now, he might be motivated by revenge. He might have the intention of retribution. I don't care what his intent is. I don't care if his intent is to get right with the Lord. I don't care if his intent is to take down the entire Biden crime syndicate. He's doing something courageous, Devin Archer is right now. I'm not even getting close to justifying what he did prior, which is basically orchestrating the selling out of America for cash via Burisma, China, Romania. But do not underestimate the power of someone who is scorned. Now, typically that deals with a woman scorned, but here you have a former bro that is scorned. Now, for Devin Archer's own safety, let's just hope that he doesn't have evidence that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton. That would really put him in jeopardy. When you have nothing to lose, you feel free. Devin Archer, and you can see the video, he looks happy. He looks free. He almost smiles into the camera as a not so direct message to Hunter and Joe Biden. Almost as if there's an audience of one that he's communicating with with that little chuckle. Almost as if you've brought me through hell and now I come back. You have to wonder, why did they go after Devin Archer? And the answer is probably because the investigation to Devin Archer was five years ago. Joe Biden was never supposed to be president. That's why Joe Biden was supposed to be a former vice president, diminishing dementia in Delaware. The fact that Joe Biden was implemented and selected because of Buttigieg and Bernie that were dealing it out for the Democrat primary, and they say, hey, the guy that finished fifth and sixth in Iowa and New Hampshire, take him off the sidelines. Remember, Joe Biden ran unsuccessfully multiple times. Joe Biden was a joke. In fact, many times on our podcast, we'd say this guy can get no traction. He is contradicting himself. He had a dropout one time for plagiarism. There was no hope for Joe Biden until the oligarchs came in. And that book has not yet been written. Reporters are even afraid to ask the question, what happened in the days that led to the South Carolina reset? People are deathly afraid because it's obvious. Barack Hussein Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Laurene Powell Jobs, George Soros, or Arapahla Advisors, Democracy Alliance, some combination of them worked the phones. They said, whoa, whoa, whoa, time out. We need to make sure we have a candidate that can just stay in the basement, do what he's told. The Politburo said Bernie Sanders is going to mess us all up. They screwed Bernie Sanders over twice. And Bernie Sanders even knows he's screwed. He's so weak. He actually has allowed himself to get railroaded. Why Bernie Sanders supporters put up with this, I don't know. The point is this. You might be, oh, what is the essence of the Devin Archer thing? He was never supposed to become President Joe Biden. So this is all covering up. This is all catching up for a president who was implemented three years ago. Five years ago is 2018.Five years ago was Donald Trump's presidency. So going after Devin Archer seemed to be kind of just a whatever Native American thing, evidence overwhelming, go after him, check the box. We go after both sides. They made a calculation that they could bury all the dead bodies and get Joe Biden installed. But there was one body who refused to shut up. They control the intel agencies in the media, but they have not been able to clean up or cover up the Devin Archer problem. And we shall see what he is saying right now. Devin Archer, the linchpin, one of the three of the triumphant of the Biden crime syndicate. If you've listened to the end of the episode here, email me freedom at charliekirk.com. And whether you think the Republican primary should be ended or not, I'd love your thoughts. And you might win a signed copy of the college scam. Thanks so much for listening. God bless.

You will hear from Devin Archer. Devin Archer is Hunter's former best friend. We have text messages, which we talked about this morning and have been revealed that show the extent of their relationship. I love you, man. I love you, man. Not so much love today as Devin Archer. It is expected will reveal some of the dirty and corrupt business dealings. How does he know? Because he was a business partner in some of those deals in Romania, in Ukraine and in China. He's the linchpin. Devin Archer could provide testimony that shows a couple of things. New crimes that we don't even know about that the Biden family participated in. By the way, this testimony will be transcribed and released. It is not top secret. So we're going to see all of it. Honestly, if this testimony ends up being underwhelming, it's on the House Republicans. That's where we're at. If this testimony ends up not being, it means that they did not ask good enough questions.

"You know, President Trump's always complied with everything that they've asked, even letting them in their home, as we've heard the story time and time again, prior to the raid. So how much footage did you guys turn over? Because the DOJ, obviously, they have a track record of lying and then they're able to indict whatever they want and drop charges later. But, you know, how much footage did you guys end up turning over? The footage that was requested was turned over. So I'm sure you can imagine how broad that would be. But, you know, we turned over what was requested. But that's pretty simple. So we'll talk about indicting. Simple. Yeah. So talk about them indicting Walt and also the maintenance man. You know, it's a standard. It's funny, you know, we hear that in Georgia, they're talking about RICO, right? And RICO to me is something you hear from the mob. And when I think of the mob, I see that as the current administration. I think that the thing that they are pointing the finger at to Donald Trump is the exact thing they're guilty of. And that's evidenced by taking a Navy veteran, somebody who worked in the Obama administration for President Obama directly, somebody who served for President Trump while he was in the administration, who's clearly not a politically driven person, but an American person, and indicting them on with the president and then coming after them and making the American public feel that they've done something wrong is absolute intimidation and unfair and unwarranted. And I know these gentlemen and it makes me very sad to see what they're doing. Yeah. And they're going after innocent, ordinary people, the maintenance man. In fact, the front page of Citizen Free Press says regime media goes nuts for maintenance man, right? Mar-a-Lago property manager makes first court appearance in classified document case. I mean, Alina, this this is so infuriating. They're going after anybody who is remotely in the orbit of Donald Trump and they want to try to get Carlos de Oliveira to, of course, turn on President Trump. They're throwing everything. They're doing the same thing to the alternate electors in Michigan. CNN writes, which I hate reading from CNN, but this article is really making the rounds. It says that the property manager and newest co-defendant in the special counsel's criminal case charging former President Trump and his staff for mishandling classified information made his initial appearance in a Miami courtroom on Monday. They want to have anybody in the orbit suffer and then try to get them to a place of desperation to concoct some sort of acceptable narrative to be used against Donald Trump. Absolutely. I mean, Charlie, we're at a point where, you know, look at these people. One's a Navy veteran who served in both a Democrat and a Republican administration and served fully and well served on the Navy. Another gentleman is an immigrant. He's the American story. And we're now just pressuring left, right and center because you can't get to your political opponent. That's not the American way. That's the communist way. And it's it's really a disgrace, I have to say. I'm disappointed and I feel for them. And, you know, I'm glad that everybody's going to get their day in court. Well, it shouldn't have to be this way. This is the way that Maoist countries operate, where now anybody in Trump's orbit is afraid of the knock on your door. So, Alina, there's two other things that are simultaneously happening. But I first just want to give you an opportunity and I will defend this. You know, people were like, oh, my goodness, Donald Trump's PAC is spending so much on legal fees. And I say, oh, really? Why do you think that is? He's under six different simultaneous legal assaults. New York, Fulton, DOJ. Yeah. If you were under massive assault, you would be able to you would use those resources as well. It's unbelievable, actually, that anyone would find something wrong. Do you have a reaction to that, by the way? Because the government has unlimited resources I thought it was such a cheap shot, I'll be honest, by Governor DeSantis campaign. They come out, oh, Donald Trump is spending all this money to defend himself. Yeah, you would, too, if the Department of Justice is trying to put you in jail for 400 years. Alina, your reaction. You know, I'm the legal spokeswoman, so I'm very careful about mixing into campaign world. What I can say in terms of legal is there's nothing illegal about this. And when you support the president, you support getting him into office. I think the one thing we can all agree on is they've weaponized the legal system to prevent him from getting into office. So the defense of the same, I don't see as problematic. And I know that legally it's not. And that's really all I'm going to say on that. But if you look at the numbers, I think it's just completely disgusting. But I also invite the public to look at the numbers that the DOJ is spending attacking President Trump. It's not there's not even an inference that it's illegal. What people are trying to do is they're trying to make a political point. While the government is spending tens of millions, soon to be hundreds of millions of dollars in man hours from Manhattan, D.A., Department of Justice, you have a moral right to defend yourself. So, Alina, what what is I want to just kind of go through your atmospherics here? You know, Fannie Willis, Fulton County, they say they're ready any day for an indictment. What should we expect? I think that we should be ready for that. They've put the barricades up. I think that if anybody thinks that the Trump team and the president is naive or has his head in the sand, you've got another thing coming. We're ready. And the reality is he will fight just like he's been fighting. And if anybody questions his resilience, his age, his ability to serve this country, look at what the man is going through right now. We have, you know, Georgia will be coming soon after. They're not very secretive about it. In fact, when Fannie and some of these corrupt DAs and AGs have their own PR people, I become concerned about their legitimate interests. And I think that it's very clear that they don't have legitimate interests, their political interests. And it's a sad thing. I'm sure she'll have hair and makeup ready and and be ready to rip and have her moment in the light. And I think that's all this is. They're all about the indictments. They're all about the headlines. And as an attorney, it's an embarrassment, frankly, to my profession. Yeah. And it just doesn't stop. So just to just to reiterate, you anticipate DOJ January 6th type stuff. And then, I mean, it's obvious they're coordinating, isn't it? I mean, it's obvious that the state level and the county level that do you believe that there has been a plan for Alvin Bragg to go first and then documents? Is that is that your belief? I do believe that. I think if you look historically at what has happened to any American, you've never seen anybody, including go back to Hillary Clinton, go back to Epstein. Somehow we still don't have that list. You know, you look at all these stories. Nobody has been hit harder in such a fast amount of time with a coordinated dance. That is all this is. You can't have indictment after indictment two weeks apart, all with a tracking of one year out trials so that everything aligns to hit right before what, Charlie, elections. And that is unheard of. And that is why they're spending so much money, because they've got all hands on deck to try and take down Trump. Yeah. And it's not illegal for government agencies to coordinate. It is unprecedented. It's election interference. It's evil. It's terrible. And it requires, just so everyone understands, tens of millions of dollars to now defend yourself in every single one of these jurisdictions. So you have an unlimited budget in Fulton County, unlimited budget. New York, by the way, violent crime is going up and looting and arson and raping. They don't care. Fulton County in Manhattan, D.A., Department of Justice. We have a wide open border, child sex trafficking, foreign nationals. But the DOJ is worried about the number one political opponent. And Trump has said he is the retribution candidate. Can you just in closing here, Alina, just give us any sort of a preview of just some of the lessons of the legal arguments that will be made, you know, against this idea of time setting venue, right, of he's an active presidential candidate. Does the legal team anticipate making an argument to a judge saying, hey, like we're a little busy right now, I don't know, trying to become president again? Yes, I think that that's a fair argument and you're going to see that across the board. And I know that our team will make that argument. You have a clear election interference situation. A gentleman who's supposed to be campaigning, they had knowledge of that. We have unprecedented timelines here that in the state of New York, I personally have been practicing there for the better of 15 years. I've never seen things go to trial this fast. And you keep seeing it. So I think that is a key thing. I think the other issue is you're before. So he can't campaign. So he can't be out there rallying against his opponents. And he can't be doing. And by the way, 18 percent of independents in the latest poll have turned Trump. So we're doing incredibly. That's right. Last question, Alina. Have you guys wargamed what happens if they deny him bail? No, I can't speak about that. I mean, that would be incredibly privileged, but I honestly my head is not at that point. I think that would frankly shock even me. And I've been well, I'll just be I'll just be honest. You guys have got to get ready because there that's how they're talking. Seditious conspiracy is being used to prevent people bail. I think this is their nuclear option to keep Donald Trump in pretrial detention the same way the January 6th defendants were. So, yes, I'm sure it wouldn't pass. All right. Alina, great work. Thank you so much. Thank you, Charlie.

"Remember, this is an installed president. Joe Biden is installed as president of the United States. He was never supposed to be the nominee. COVID, the South Carolina reset, you had Butt Edge Edge or whatever, and you had Bernie Sanders. The Democrat primary was a mess. The oligarchs came in, pressed timeout. They said forget New Hampshire and Iowa, forget all of that. South Carolina reset. Get the senile guy who will do what we tell him to do. We're about to lock down the country anyway. The administrative said had aforementioned notice that the entire country was going to lock down. Perfect candidate for a lockdown is one that can't talk and doesn't have to travel. Put him in a basement, mass mail-in ballots, lie about everything, death counts on TV, censor your political dissidents, and of course then have race riots in the streets to gin up inner city urban fervor in support of displacing the regime. And by the way, the Time magazine article, Molly Ball, the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election articulates part of this. Remember, you have an implemented president by the administrative state, but it was not the ideal pick. The laptop changed a lot. Remember, they had to shut down my Twitter account. They had to do 50 Intel agency officials orchestrated by Tony Blinken and John Brennan lying about the laptop being Russian disinformation. The laptop gives us part of the detail, but in the laptop we have evidence that then points to Devin Archer. So now you have this all finally bubbling up. The first two years we were unable to really make any traction on this because the high priestess of the Democrat party, Nancy Pelosi, ruled with an iron fist, female Stalin, and forbade any of this, subpoenas, depositions, they were too worried about the January 6th committee. But now, thanks to us winning back the House of Representatives and honestly, the very aggressive stance that the House Republicans are taking on this, we're finally getting the truth and Devin Archer is there right now. Devin Archer is hopefully, I think he is, going to tell the truth. Devin Archer is more than a whistleblower. Devin Archer is the epicenter. I mean, Devin Archer can tell you everything. In fact, Devin Archer can tell you probably about the numbered accounts. I guarantee you that there's more money out there than we know. I guarantee you there's money in Cayman Islands, Swiss bank accounts, third world countries, real estate and kids' names, all sorts of stuff. So the then what is going to come? Well, he's doing a transcribed interview under oath, very pointed questions. Sure, House Republicans are grilling him. But you have to ask the question, why is Devin Archer doing this? Because Devin Archer is in the ultimate, he believes he has nothing to lose. I think part of this is revenge. I think Devin Archer, based on these text messages, he's mad. Where else is Devin Archer going to go? The regime has thrown him aside. The regime cast him aside. So DOJ goes after Devin Archer. He's going to go to jail. And he says, you know what, Hunter, I covered for you a lot. I guarantee you this is personal. I guarantee you. How many times do you think Devin Archer covered up, cheated the truth to cover for Hunter Biden's crack addiction, Hunter Biden's lying? Devin Archer was probably the same guy in the room. Devin Archer was probably the guy that showed up to the meetings on time and Hunter Biden would come and blitz him an hour and a half late. And Devin Archer probably has this pent up resentment of after all I did for you, after all the lies I told, after all the two faced, we're done. And I'm now going to sing. Devin Archer seemed to be the brains behind the operation. Why? Because there's no way Hunter Biden was the brainchild. Joe Biden was the architect. Joe Biden, again, we're just getting an unprecedented window into how all these families operate. The Bidens, the Obamas, they do this and have done this for decades. This is the standard operating procedure. The Clintons did this. The Clintons weren't this sloppy. They just kill, well, allegedly, kill the people in their circle or they, no, I'm sorry, the people in their circle commit suicide. I'm sorry, just they don't kill anybody. They just disappear, vanish. If you ever look at the Clinton suicide list, a lot of suicide going on in the Clinton circles. The Biden family has been outspoken for years about, we love the country, we love middle-class America, been selling out America, selling out America, selling out America. What is Devin Archer sharing? What is Devin Archer putting forward? If it's the truth, this could bring down the entire deal, which goes to show why the DOJ was working on the weekend, which goes to show why they are so nervous. Devin Archer is the linchpin. He is the epicenter. This is exactly why Joe Biden deployed the entire federal government to protect his son, because he's afraid that his son would do what Devin Archer is doing right now, that he would rat him out. Joe Biden is not an accomplice. Joe Biden is not some sort of passenger. Joe Biden is the mastermind. Joe Biden is the conductor of this corrupt orchestra. Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

Joining us now is Alina Haba, general counsel for Save America PAC and spokeswoman for Donald Trump. Alina, thank you for joining the program. First, how is the president's spirits with this MAGA superseding indictment that came last week? He's tough. You know him, Charlie. He's tough. I mean, I hope that I have that resilience. He's really set an amazing example for any American who is feeling targeted unnecessarily. He wakes up and goes at it again and keeps hitting hard because he wants to save this country as we know. So he's doing really well, actually. So let's go through some of the, let's just say, accusations. The superseding indictment, the DOJ, accuses Donald Trump of deleting surveillance footage. What actually happened here? No surveillance footage was deleted. Everything was turned over and the Department of Justice has it. The president and his company and anybody that falls in that realm knows that when we get a subpoena, we comply. And no matter what bogus indictments they want to put out there, they don't have in that indictment that anything was deleted. In fact, they have everything. So I hate the misleading to the American public. I find it disgusting and disgraceful.

"So Devin Archer is on Capitol Hill right now. Devin Archer thought he was untouchable. We know that based on the message that he sent Hunter Biden, basically like, bro, why is your dad putting me in jail, man? I thought we were buddies. Devin Archer is the top of the top. There is no one except, if you were looking at the crime triumphant of the Biden crime syndicate, it's the big guy, Hunter Devin. Bobby Alinsky is just one actor in a single chapter. Bobby Alinsky, as you remember, had some very chilling things to say, but he was like, look, I only dealt with them in one meeting in the Beverly Hilton, and it was the big guy, it was obvious. Devin Archer, name a continent, seriously, name a continent. Europe, they did crimes there. Asia, they did crimes there. Name a continent, Devin Archer and Hunter Biden were gallivanting around. Dubai, crimes there. He is spilling the goods right now on Capitol Hill. In fact, we have the text messages back and forth. Why is your dad's administration appointees arrest me, try to put in jail? Just curious, some of our partners are asking out here. Why would they try and ruin my family and destroy my kids and no one from your family's sidestep in and at least try to help me? I don't get it, I'm depressed. A bunch of these Asians getting in my head asking me the same, so just curious what I should answer. I have no idea what that means, but the Asians part, maybe you guys can tell me, it's kind of a strange side note. Why is Hunter not in jail? Because the entire American government has been involved in a cover-up operation of Hunter Biden. Why? It's because Joe Biden has a fear. Joe Biden has a very big fear that if Hunter goes, Hunter will sing against the father. Boy, there's so much symmetry with the Fredo, Godfather II. I can't even tell you. In fact, let's dive into that. There is so much symmetry. Hunter Biden, here's my advice to you. Do not go on a boat on a lake anytime soon. It's not going to end well for you. Joe Biden would sell you out in a second. He hates you, he's used you for years. Don't go on a paddleboard either in Martha's Vineyard. Let me tell you about a company I love that embodies the spirit of freedom and innovation, Christensen Arms. Christensen Arms makes its rifles right here in America, but it's not just about how they're made. The company is a true leader in firearm technology. Christensen Arms invented the carbon fiber barrel back in 1995, and today their state-of-the-art barrels continue to provide unmatched accuracy for everyone out there exercising their Second Amendment rights. Their innovation doesn't stop at the barrel though. Christensen also pioneered an ingenious new carbon manufacturing process called flash forged technology, or FFT, to deliver the lightest and most durable rifle you'll ever own. As a Christensen Arms rifle owner myself, I could proudly say these rifles are heirloom quality, so you can pass down a lasting legacy of freedom and true American craftsmanship for generations to come.

"So Devin Archer, who is a criminal, is about to go to jail. Now, there is a lot of controversy around this last weekend. What is true or not true remains to be seen. But again, Archer got convicted of a felony five years ago. But because our legal system is a joke, he's dragged out and actually been dragging out his sentencing for five years. The DOJ is telling him to finally serve his sentence. Now, the timing of this is very suspicious because he's about to testify. And on Saturday, a letter comes in and DOJ says, now you have to report to prison. He's like, wait, I'm about to go testify some bombshell testimony against the president of the United States. And DOJ says, no, no, no, no, go to jail. That's awfully suspicious. James Comer speaks about this this weekend, play cut four. Yeah, the letter from the Department of Justice is trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence Devin Archer for something unrelated to what we're going to be talking to him about tomorrow. It's odd that it was issued on a Saturday and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to have an opportunity to speak in front of the House Oversight Committee and tell the American people the truth. And so on a weekend, a Saturday, now, what do we know from the Fauci files? This is one of the buried leads that even Bobby Kennedy, I don't think talks about enough. Bureaucrats only work on weekends when something needs to be covered up. It's the only reason that Washington, D.C. bureaucrats would ever work on a weekend. I don't work on the Sabbath, but I work on Sunday. I take the Friday night, Saturday night Sabbath. But these bureaucrats, the Fauci file showed us Hugh Auchincloss, Anthony Fauci late Friday, early Saturday, January 30th-ish, 31st, 2020. They were sending late night emails, we need to go meet, we need to go meet, because they knew that the Chinese-created Wuhan laboratory virus was coming very, very soon and they had to cover it up. The only reason people in government work weekends is to cover up their crimes, period. Otherwise, they look for every opportunity to take time off. And so this weekend, this last weekend, out of nowhere, ex nihilo, it came out of the heavens, as if it's just a coincidence, the Southern District of New York has issued a clarifying statement. First, they sent out a letter saying that, we need you, Devin Archer, to go to jail. After five years, you have to go to jail. Hold on a second, why are you doing this on a weekend? Even Jonathan Turley came up and he said, it does not help to have the Justice Department pushing a court on a Saturday to set a date for Archer's arrest, just before he scheduled to testify in the House. In terms of optics, the DOJ seems to pursue a Ed Woods production. Now, to be clear, they're asking the court to set a date for him to report, but honestly, my gut reaction on social media and remains, I don't trust the DOJ. They have not earned our trust. In fact, so opposite of trust them, any action that they put here, whether it be putting moms and dads on terror watch lists, indicting political opposition, going after pro-life leaders when they're sitting in their living room, Department of Justice going after Steve Bannon, James O'Keefe, Rudy Giuliani, I could go on the list and list and list and list. Anything the DOJ does, I immediately distrust them. The DOJ is engineering a hundred different prosecutions of Trump. Of course, I'm going to be led to believe that if they send a letter on a Saturday, government Saturday, those things don't mix. Government Saturday, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, if it was on a Thursday, government on a Saturday, all of a sudden saying, oh, by the way, we have to send Devin Archer to prison, right before he's about to issue bombshell testimony, it is not out of any sort of speculative reach that Merrick Garland, craven thug criminal, and Joe Biden through wink and nod type network, like, oh my gosh, this guy could bring down the entire house of cards. And by the way, another letter on Sunday, clarifying because they received such pushback.

"Right now, Devin Archer is on Capitol Hill. Who is Devin Archer? Well, Devin Archer is Hunter Biden's former best friend and business partner. Now look, Devin Archer is a criminal. He is a flat out criminal. That doesn't say much because half of Capitol Hill is filled with criminals. I'd say half the Republican party, almost the entire Democrat party is criminal. So he's right at home. Devin Archer is going to go to jail soon, but he's getting used to being around criminals because he's testifying on Capitol Hill. Just so happens that Devin Archer got caught. Sloppy businessman. And look, I'm not going to defend what Devin Archer did. He did what the Bidens have done for years. Defrauding, lying, deceiving, lying to federal officials. Devin Archer is going to go to jail because he allegedly defrauded a Native American tribe. Now remember, this is Hunter Biden's former best friend. They known each other since they were both at Yale. Archer is one of those people where you look at him and you say, okay, he's totally a bad guy. He's a criminal. His business links to guys that helped make the Biden crime syndicate go. This is not some random guy. This is not some sort of person that had one meeting. This guy has intimate knowledge. This guy is a prosecutor's dream. If we actually had a Department of Justice that was interested in pursuing justice, Devin Archer is the linchpin. He is the central commander. He is the air traffic controller. He is the offensive coordinator. Any metaphor you want to use, he is part of the hub. Again, this is not some just sort of random person who happened to intersect with the Biden family and overheard something. Tony Bobulinski's testimony was very, very powerful on Tucker Carlson's program back in 2020. But this is a whole other level. Bobulinski had a couple meetings and heard a couple things and one business deal. Devin Archer was involved in dozens of these meetings. Remember Rosemont Seneca? Well, that was the investment firm that Devin Archer was a co-founder of with Hunter Biden that arranged all these lucrative business dealings with Chinese Communist Party nationals. A few years ago, Archer was convicted in federal court as part of a scheme to defraud an American Indian tribe. The conviction is what ultimately seemed to have destroyed the friendship between Hunter and Devin. We could see things in text messages found on Hunter's laptop. Devin sent Hunter messages like, quote, why did your dad administration appointees arrest me and put me in jail? Just curious. Now, let's take a pause here. That text message that Devin Archer sent to Hunter Biden shows that Devin Archer thought that he was untouchable. That's how high level Devin Archer was in the Biden crime syndicate. He was at the fulcrum point of all this. I want to reread this. Imagine sending a text message. Why did your dad's administration appointees arrest me and try to put me in jail? Some of our partners are asking out here. And amazingly, Hunter, not exactly a smart guy, responded and he said, every president's family is held to a higher standard, is a target.

DOJ Tries To Imprison Devon Archer Before Congressional Testimony
"Witnessing something happening right now, in real time, right in front of our eyes, Here's the New York Post. The Justice Department was pushing for Devin Archer to report to prison just ahead of his hotly anticipated congressional testimony. On Saturday, federal prosecutors in Manhattan filed a letter requesting that a judge set a date for Archer to begin his one -year prison sentence in a fraud case completely unrelated to Hunter Biden's various scandals. This is like watching a crime documentary on Netflix, but it's real life. The Second Court of Appeals affirmed Devin Archer's 2018 conviction last Tuesday on two felony charges for his role in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe. So Archer is, as we speak today, delivering closed -door testimony to the House Oversight Committee about Hunter Biden, and more importantly, about his father, Joe Biden. The DOJ, get this, quote in their letter, Saturday, he's testifying today, two days before he is to testify, the DOJ, quote, respectfully requests that the defendant be ordered to surrender at a date and time determined by the court to a facility designated by the Bureau of Prisons to commence his term of imprisonment. I mean, if that's not intimidation, what is?

DOJ Investigating Hunter Biden for Foreign Lobbying Violations
"Another story that has come out from the Washington examiner and it shows that Hunter Biden is under current federal investigation for foreign lobbying. Same sort of thing that we've been alleging for quite some time. That Hunter Biden is being investigated now by the Department of Justice for lobbying fellow on behalf of fellow countries and lobbying our own government. Wonder how many people would have wanted to know that before they voted for Biden? Hunter Biden is being investigated in his business partner Devon archer has now been indicted, isn't it? Doesn't it beg the question of whether or not your own current government is bought when it comes to making decisions with Ukraine or China? This is incredibly frustrating for me. Because we as Trump supporters, we as conservatives, we followed the rules. We did what was right. Through our different efforts at turning point action or through my own personal advocacy efforts, not of that of turning point USA, we worked hard, we were motivating crowds. We were organizing people to try to vote for Donald Trump. All the while there was a broader conspiracy at play and why you say oh Charlie, come on, it's not a conspiracy. They admitted it, there's a story in Time Magazine that said, the secret history of the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election. That's the definition of a conspiracy, by the way.

"Way. Miranda, there is a increasing amount of chatter about the Russia Ukrainian issue. And it begs the question any time this kind of surfaces, what capital flows existed or exist between the Ukrainian government or the Ukrainian power structure and Hunter Biden? What do we know as far as money that Hunter Biden received from Ukrainian oligarchs, gas companies, and even Russian, as well? Please explain. Well, there's less money coming from Russia and Ukraine that's evident on the laptop and in the bob linsky material than there is from China. But what we know is that, first of all, that Hunter Biden was being paid $83,000 a month by the corrupt Ukrainian energy company, burisma during his father's vice presidency. And after Joe Biden's term ended, his pay for sitting on the board of burisma was cut in half and we also know that there was we actually know this from the Johnson grassley report that $3.5 million was funneled into the bank account of an associate or business partner, Devon archer of Hunter Biden, by Elena bacher, who is the Russia's richest woman. The wife now we know of the corrupt former Moscow Amir. And we also know that Hunter Biden met Elena batter just a few weeks after that money hit the bank account. He met her in como at village, which is a gaunt beautiful mansion hotel luxury hotel on the shore of Lake como, which is a haunt of corrupt oligarchs from around the world.

"I really love to travel to new places. Yeah i don't tend to go back. Unless i have friends or family in a place but i like to try new places however i have been to italy a few years ago and i would absolutely love to go back there for being such a small country. There is so much that i wasn't able to see and so that's on my list for sure love. That would love to go back to both of those places for short now. If you were an animal. Wha- animal would you be and why. I love this russian. It's too challenging one It really is is which i love. I think i'd have to say a dog honestly. I loved having a dog so much. We just lahser dogs past rate by it. He really it was just the simplicity and the end the joy that not only she brought by that she thinks she was he he harnessed just fell so grounding and it it felt like dogs who the secret that we struggle with as adults which is just that like love the outdoors and this appetite for life and being with family is enough and it's just so nursing so i think i don i love that so much. Dogs are seriously the best. I would choose a humpback whale. Wales are my favorite animal. They fascinate me and humpback whales in particular. I love watching nature shows in general and anyone that has to do with like the ocean or whales. I'm so into watching humpbacks breach and swim in the open ocean and be with their tight. Knit pods. They seem so fun. And playful and free and i would love to spend my life in the ocean or that's so fitting for you. I love both of those answers. I think both are incredible animals so cool to see the humpback whales and i'm so sorry about the loss of your dog. The dog's truly tears in my eyes thinking about my parents dogs that just how amazing animals they are. They really do know the secrets to life. So i love both of your answers. Animals are just they are now if you could each master completely new skill. What would that be. I would love to be fluent in italian and french. I'd love to speak fluent italian to speak to my remaining family that is from italy and speaks lewin in italian including my dad and i love the french language. I love france so much visited and it felt like i had lived there and some past life so i would love to learn french. Shoe mine is pottery. I have dabbled in clay making when i was younger in art class and i always thought it was so fun and i watching ceramicist. Just play on the wheel and devon has recently got into pottery and. She is absolutely incredible. I'm constantly asking her. If i can buy her visas and i really want to learn. I just want to try and see if i am good at it.

"We did not go in depth about it and so it was even then when it was a room full of girls at it felt shameful and it felt like this thing. We weren't supposed to talk about. And once i realized once i learned the in depth about it in school and then started to talk about it with my friends i was able to shake that and say oh are this is actually an amazing part of me that i can harness and use to work towards my advantage rather than seeing it as a burden which you know it can be at times. I don't wanna paint it in that lake romanticize light because there are some uncomfortable things associated with it but it can be both and at the same time. I love that too. And i think to your point of duality of it like i just read summer. Recently that it was a quote having a good relationship with your period is a form of resistance. And i really find that to be incredibly empowering because basically what it says to me is again. A relationship has never all good or bad right every relationship. We have whether it's with ourselves arts of ourselves or other people are easy. Parts are hard parts and there's everything in between why in this in having a good relationship with your period being a form of resistance. It's resisting the societal standard. That's basically put on us everywhere from what you just said from sitting in a classroom in sex all the way to you know scented tampons. There's this whole industry that says that having a period is like you said it's shameful or it just gets put in a box so i love that quote of having a good relationship with your periods form of resistance because it you're right. It's not painting it in this romantic. Easy thing it's just saying learning to work with yourself and in an accept and embrace whatever that looks like is a way of basically sticking it to the man agreed. I love that. And i definitely have those memories and sex. Ed of the teachers never really they. They kind of glossed over that and they did say was not necessarily accurate to my experience as someone who did have cramps where i would sometimes have to miss class. Even you know you were in a lot of discomfort and they really just kind of glossed over it. It was something that you had to be really sneaky about oftentimes in You know definitely that source of shame. That doesn't have to be. I mean even the commercials now were there finally not using that blue liquid anymore but it took however many years for that to happen. Yeah it's incredible to see that and it really shows that we're heading in that right direction and that it is no longer a taboo topic at least not to the same degree that it was absolutely and it allows us to carry life. Do you know we can do so many amazing things as women and we do carry a lot of shame with us. So i'd love to know a little bit more about how the two of you teamed up toward this common mission and what all you do together. Yes so it. All started with an internship. Actually when was in grad school. I had required internship for a semester and i really realized my passion for women's health while i was in school and so as i was searching for different companies to turn with i stumbled upon cycle on instagram and immediately fell in love with the mission with the branding with just the overall vibe and i felt already reading the bio that i was devon's friend.

Is "DeFi" the Future of Finance?
"Hard to say exactly what will happen. But you know defy did exist before this bull market and there were great yield to be had there too. There's different places that yields come from and we'll break those down but some of them lend themselves to bull markets some of them might lend themselves to bear markets. How about we take maybe. An example of an average passive crypto investor in our audience will make a character call them defied devon and defy. Devon's curious about defy. But he hasn't pursued it. So defy devon has a base account and he has ten thousand twenty thousand dollars worth of bitcoin. Whatever number works easy for our math. We'll just toss it into his coin based account was like walk into the process of getting into the world of defy understanding what it is what the risks are what the opportunities are and how to go to work making passive or somewhat active investments and getting yield returns on that crypto coins. The entire defy landscape can of break down into two different opportunities. The first one is this idea of like staking your assets somewhere or loaning them someone and the other one is borrowing against your assets and investing the money that you borrow pretty much. Everything falls into those to defy devon. Who's just got a coin accounting. Some bitcoin he's going to probably use a little steppingstone. Which is he's gonna use see. Five before he goes defy and see is centralized finance versus defy. which is decentralized finance. And essentially there's these companies like you may have heard of block by neck so is another big one and these are sort of like these banks inbetween crypto and defy and they will do defy the for you and they will pay you. A percentage of the yield. So they're like the coin base of defy essentially. Yeah they are. I mean they're banks. It's the same model that a bank has always had right. You stick your money in a bank account the bank without telling you goes out and loans it out to people invested in stuff and they give you the bank. Is you a half of a percent. Maybe on a good year. But in defy land the sea fi companies are paying eight percent on stable coins somewhere around five to six percent on things like bitcoin.

Thank you yes so this is really cool. Because anyone who's listening to the podcast understands cove in nineteen the pandemic and many of the health implications that we've seen come from it. How important is early detection in solving a pandemic Well devon. I think that most epidemologists have told as it's an essential part of our toolbox for doing with the spread of a pandemic and especially early on in a pandemic and throughout epidemic that still raging the one that we have right now. You really need to understand where the the virus spreading and quickly it spreading so that you can implement a measures to kind of tamp down that spread such as a social measures as well as technical technology measures such as vaccines Things of that sort. So surveillance is key in Trying to prevent the virus from spreading in so currently were doing tests of this kind of surveillance but how is that being done right now and is that really enough shirts so right now there's two main ways of doing testing for individuals. One is the gold standard and that is something called. Pcr so a pr tests or rtp. Cr test basically takes the virus from an individual sample such as you know nasal swab that we've seen People get and what it does. Amplifies up that genomic signature of the virus. So you're actually looking at the viral genome and you're amplifying it up so that you can test it. Unfortunately this again. This is the gold standard but unfortunately required a laboratory. So you need a you need a technician And it it's it. It takes quite some time for that sample to go to the laboratory laboratory to process the samples and then information back out

Bucks Win Game 5 to Take a 3-2 Series Lead
"The bucks one twenty three one. Nineteen game five win on the road over the sons to pick up three two series lead kyle at felt like at one point it was going to be a big sons blowout. Sixteen point lead in the first quarter. It feels like at one point. It's going to be a huge fox blow out and then it gets tied at the end it. We got a really good game down the stretch. That was fun to watch man. I loved it incredible game. I mean a lot of fortitude on both sides to not go away and to come back with your like you said. We had a of lead shifts and changes. The bucks fought back from that big deficit early. We big shots. We had big miss shots. It was it was sort of a shakespearean play there towards the end it. It's amazing if that went ahead ended with like a game winner. Something that would have gone down as a pretty memorable finals game. Not that it won't anyway. But yet really entertaining drama heck of a heck of a gutsy performance by milwaukee no doubt about it and we have to start at that lachie side which holiday twenty seven points thirteen assists only two turnovers at three steals. He had two of this. Deals are going to stick in my mind for a long time. And the third quarter. He had the on. Ball steel against devon booker then took a poll up three and transition in the final minute of the game helping off ball on a drive by devon booker strips. The ball janas runs the floor and he throws the alleyoop to him for the dunk holiday. Both ends of the court all those. Eric bledsoe comparisons from games one and two feel like such a distant memory. Kyle holiday was extraordinary tonight. I mean what freaking performance at both ends big balls there. That's the only thing that comes. I mean those plays that. He made that one three that he took after he destroyed up rip booker. I was just stunned. That he had the stones to take that and he nailed it. Yeah and then the the presence of mind you know. The refs aren't going to necessarily call a foul like that. Every time in a situation like that i mean he kinda force them to make a call He he got a little bit of risk a little bit of hand on that swipe down when he came over weakside to steal that from booker but yeah when he when he threw that lob to janas. I almost thought he threw it over. The cylinder again almost threw it into the cylinder and when he did that stood up. Stood up in my office. I just couldn't believe

"When the olympics start will be the most talented team in tokyo. Hands down no question. Most talented team in tokyo with the roster that they have but this is like a five alarm fire right now howard. This loss to nigeria. I don't care if they win the rest of these pre olympic games which will take place through next sunday. This has to make you nervous if you're a fan of the team because not only is it this. The loss to nigeria. But you go back two years ago at the world championships where you had a us team. That was good. Didn't have probably better team now than they were back in two thousand nineteen but all nba players. They finished seventh. They've been seventh at the world championships. You have the seventh-place finish the loss of nigeria. How concerned are you howard beck about. Usa basketball. It's just an exhibition game. Chris oh no no. It's not just an exhibition game. Stop this team was thrown together over the last however many weeks they had what like three practices. I think i'll ever. Us team is thrown together. What are you talking about. There's no team. There's no no mid season practices for usa basketball. No but the nigerian team has been practicing. What i'm saying is some of the play in the nba though wants win the nba nba. A few of them play in the nba but that team has had time together more so than the team. Sorry brown coaching. that team. That i missed was that a facsimile of mike brown on the bench all season long. What what are we talking about. The warriors have been out for like two months kris k. Okay so two months. that's what matters. That's that's the number three three practices. Also they're still missing. I believe at least three guys because they're playing in the finals right now. Booker middleton chris paul get it. Yes not chris. Ball's not playing a holiday with the the what holland is your holiday. Those those guys will matter especially given that middleton and holiday are to the better perimeter defenders that that team. Usa has and if you look at the rest of team usa's roster. I don't see a ton of great defenders. There there are a few. I think those three guys by the way are going to be exhausted by the time they get to. They may well be. They may will be so. We're going to judge them. Judging when their whole judge when the games matter to strange to me like we don't judge nba teams based on the preseason but we judge team usa based on these exhibition games. That they do going into international competition. I feel like it's thirty. One point favorites. Why why is there betting line on a freaking exhibition better training but a little league baseball. Now country degenerates damn right. I didn't mean chris i'm with. Let's go monday. Nigeria money line. I just. I can't get too excited about this. If they lose the rest of the exhibitions does that mean something. Yeah that might be alarming if they're if they're still struggling to find some cohesion. That could be alarming. But i mean the talent is obviously their talent alone doesn't win on the international stage in style of game is different team ball matters. Shooting matters like yeah. There's a bunch of budget stuff that comes into play. But i i find the panic over this loss or at least the outcry to be a little bit much. So you don't take into account the seventh-place finish in two thousand nineteen. I mean that to me. It's the it's not just as game. The totality of it right. Like and i don't know howard like so in the early two thousands the world kind of caught up to the us ninety to ninety six thousand us. Gold maps then comes the two thousand two world championships in indianapolis and that's seven. The place finish was one of the worst worst outcomes in at least recent usa history. They got it together after that. They hired jerry colangelo. They bringing mike chef ski. They get their act together. Two thousand six two thousand eight then. They run off. Three consecutive years are three consecutive cycles of gold. Medals is argon. Made that like the world's caught up again that somewhere along the way and the last four or five years. The rest of the world has once again caught up usa basketball. I'm trying to understand this. I mean that's close games in those olympics cycles. No question about it. But i can't imagine the oh eight. Twelve or sixteen team losing nigeria. I can't exhibition or otherwise. I can't see it happening. No team and the and the one that followed it were built around like lebron koby. Carmelo enjoying wait. I mean that that groups at another level like as good as this group is that we're seeing right now as talented as they are after k. D. tatum's really good damian. Lillard is great. I mean come arbit- tatum. Bill lillard auto bio levin. Draymond dream ends up there in years but one has won some things. Jeremy grant jeremy grant zach living out of like. These are guys who have done anything in the nba yet. But they're all stars most they're they're also but are they to level of lebron kobe now but do you think is that what you're saying then is that what you're saying to be at the level you need to have like i'm saying the crop to win. I'm saying that if we're going to start comparing the twenty twenty one team to the twenty eight a two thousand eight two thousand twelve teams there is. There is not an equivalent right now. Lebron kobe laurent cobaine weight. And plus what we what. We called olympic. Mellow like carmelo. Didn't have the success in the nba. That some of his teammates did but carmelo in terms of talent level and certainly has resume like that group was at a whole other level. That group is a different level than jason. Tatum bam outta bios. Zach levine. Okay so not saying that you necessarily should have to have that level of time firepower to win an exhibition game against nigeria. Or anybody else. But i am saying comparing usa to itself different iterations of team usa. This one is not that one. This is not as dominant group as the ones we saw in eight and two thousand twelve. It just isn't what do you do like. What's the solution here. Like i mean i jerry. Colangelo deserves an enormous amount of credit for rebuilding that program when it was at. Its nadir mitra chefs. He comes in enormous amount of credit for what they did. But as we sit here in twenty twenty one like it's almost to me howard like the usa basketball rebuilding. The program became cool. Like lebron wanted to do it. Chris paul like dwayne wade. These guys wanted to do it and then they did it. And i think playing for usa basketball didn't become quite as cool as it was fifteen years ago. Like is that what has to happen like does not need to have like a fifth place finish in tokyo for all of a sudden the next generation of a-list stars wherever that may be in two thousand twenty four to come back into the mix and is that the only way this team can win. I mean i think we need to pay attention to the overall context like obviously one. These olympics were supposed to happen a year ago. They're delayed a year because of covid got durant out of it though like that right. It's questionable whether these the olympic should be happening at all still but along the way because of these back to back brutal seasons and everything else like team. Usa doesn't have james harden right now. Doesn't have anthony davis because of the injury doesn't have steph curry doesn't have kyrie irving doesn't have lebron kawai again. If your argument is that the second or third tier it sounds like sounds like insulting. Somehow but if you're saying that the next wave believe after those guys should still be good enough to dominate on the world stage. Maybe but if the point is that the team as best are they still. Are they still able to win. Gold fairly easily. Your probably but a bunch of them aren't on this team right now because of injuries and just the stress of the last year or two so this this is not necessarily representative of the best of the best right now. It just isn't and yes. They should still be good enough to win. Yes the world has caught up to some extent. No the the group that at nigeria's put it put out there last week. Does not leap off the page improbably. Us should've still want it. But again i exhibition game after like three practices. Let's see what happens with the rest of this. This schedule out brought mellow back. I mean he's not what he was four years ago. Eight years ago twelve years ago but the guy knows how to play international basketball. He might have sat. maybe. I guess. I didn't really. I assume that he just want to keep. He didn't kind of like four formerly re retire from the olympics. But it'd be pretty much says like i'm done like lebron kinda did to get talked into it. I feel like. I don't know if i was if i was the usa team would try really hard to get carmelo blake because his style. Whatever it is to the nba is perfect for the national basketball. He's a really good or national basketball player. On this subject damian lillard. He spoke for the first time. Since the hiring of chauncey billips. Only listen to what little had to say about his future in portland. I'm prepared to go in and do my job every year. Like hopefully we make strides over direction and could become a better team a new coach notice. That's where i am. What soured it sounds like. Lillard is at least nominally on board with going back to the blazers. But if i'm a team out there with assets. I don't listen to that response and say well it's over damian. Lillard is back on the same page with the portland trailblazers. If i'm a team with assets i hold onto those assets because it feels to me like the blazers might be one like sixteen to start from blowing that whole thing up with louis mccollum on the way out the door so get the sense now. That seems more likely than not that damian lillard at blazers training camp. He's in ablaze uniform. He starts the season with the portland trailblazers. But if it doesn't work with chauncey billips early and you get close that trade deadline. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see portland decide. Look we've got a. We've got to do something here and opened the door for damian lillard trade. What do you think. I think that nothing has changed. I think that his remarks last week because he sounded a little bit lukewarm. Or just you know you hear one of two things. Well you want to hear one thing if you're a portland trail blazers fan or if you're just looking for any indication that lillard is all in your you want to hear him say listen. I know things are rough right now. But i'm all in you know this is. This is where. I want to be you to repeat all the usual talking points that you hear from players in his position and that we've heard from bradley beal that we used to hear from james harden houston. Which is a win in phil in city fill in the blank with the city. I want to win here. I don't wanna go somewhere else. You know we're going to get this right blah blah. He didn't go down the usual list. And so i think it left open. Some interpretation but getting has changed like the disappointment was clear when the season ended. Some of the things have happened since including obviously the the the train wreck away they went about the the coaching search and lillard. Being caught in the crossfire. There at feeling heat from fans about chauncey billips being selected and so. I don't think we should expect he's going to be rah. Rah right now The trailblazers have a lot of work to do. But we also have not even hit the summer yet. Like there's the draft hasn't happened yet. Free agency hasn't happened yet. There's there's a lot of work to be done. And i think if you're damian lillard which you're probably doing is internally saying here's what i need to see happen externally saying you know what let's let's wait and see i mean you see. He can't he can't say publicly the same things that he's telling say neal o'shea right about what the the state of the roster i i would think that there are some very impassioned debates or discussions being held behind closed doors about what they need to get this thing right and if they can't get it right the he might shift is his stance about staying there long term. But that hasn't happened yet that we know of. What do you think the most interesting potential conversation is amongst players over these next four weeks like i'm kind of curious what jason tatum bradley beal talk about. Tatum and beal close friends dating back to their highschool days both went to the same high school bill with something of a mentor to jason. Tatum actually got him involved with his trainer. Drew hanlin which helped. Tatum elevate his his personal skills and they've talked about how happy they are to be playing together. Played the all star game together for the first time beal last year of his contract. Like you know we've seen these conversations yield real tangible conversation. You'd like to be a fly on the wall on for any of these guys in the next couple of weeks. Yeah i mean look we. We have a history now going back over a decade. If we're to believe that the that the heels were formed in part through team usa activities. You know which is true which is true. That's that's yielded an extra things guy. You know guys who you mentioned. Tatum and bill because they were already friends but guys also become friends through this experience right and then they start getting the ideas about playing together. Like oh hey. This is a lot of fun. Let's do this again in the nba. So there's i'm i'm sure some of that is is happening. It always does. Who else in that group. I mean man. If any of these guys that'd be trying to recruit bam out a bio but he's too early in his in his contract with miami to pry him loose from there And you know the heater still a pretty potent team but you know jimmy butler is up there in miles and outta bios future won't necessarily be there forever. That's the way it goes in the nba. I think tatum has the potential to be like the biggest recruiter. They're like he's about to start the first year of his max level extension. He can recruit bill. But like you can also does damian lillard like. It's great to play in boston. I love it here. Answer some questions of my have a playing on the east coast for the first time. Like i think data might be boston's best asset at this point. Yeah again some of this comes down to bradley. Beal's coming up to that point where he has the leverage to task out because of his contract lillard under contract for several more years and so he's not in that position. So what if it says. Like i need to go like. I don't foresee the blazers being no finish your contract. Just don't see it. i think right. And they would work with him on a deal to sure but directing it is harder so beal can use the leverage of his free agency to say well if you send me to team x. I'm not gonna resign there. Which then blows up that deal and he can direct himself to the team he really wants to be at lillard would have a harder time to doing that. Because he doesn't have free agency looming two to play that card. Yeah well i encourage any reporter. That's in tokyo tatum. Beal and lillard talking to each other. Just take a picture and then let the internet go wild crazy because it will unquestionably last thing for you. Howard the breaking news. This week in the coaching ranks. Is that jamal moseley is headed to orlando moseley of course last with dallas. A really well respected assistant coach there. Who was a candidate for that. Maverick job before. It went to jason kidd my immediate reaction to that higher howard beyond i think being an excellent choice for orlando is that we're gonna look at at moseley and jason kidd on parallel tracks. The next couple of years moseley. There was a strong case to be made that he should have been elevated to that head. Coaching job he'd been considered for other head coaching jobs. Before most recently in new york he had by all accounts a great relationship with luka doncic i understand bringing kit in he's got a history with dallas and as riccar lau said publicly having a player that played the game like kid and having a player that plays the game like don-shik make some sense to pair those two guys together. But there's always going to be as i watched these two situations unfold. I'm gonna wonder you know. Did the mavericks make the right choice. Leading jamaa moseley go and bringing jason kidd in and there's so many variables in this the first being at orlando's in step one or maybe even steps zero of a massive rebuild right there in the negatives right now. I think there's still maybe more fat to trim on that roster before they really bottom out. Yeah and you know you talk about trying to build around. You know markelle foltz. And and jonathan isaac jonathan isaac for so long. They're getting hurt and he's a great player but they've loved writing in a weird way john stays healthy. He's still more of a complementary store right like he's he's a potentially defensive player of the year at some point. He's not a guy who you're building an offense around though and marquel foltz okay. He he got himself back on track in orlando. He has a career now where he didn't have one but he's not a foundational building block. Come on like that's crazy so the roster doesn't have much talent jamal. Moseley's is coming into a situation. Which a lot of first time head coach is committed to which is all right. There's a lot of work to do so You're gonna have to do a lot of development. You're going to have to take a lotta lumps in the win loss column. It's gonna be rough going for the first year or two or maybe three. Let's see how they can get things going. But you know as it has been a certain other like kenny. Atkinson came to look a completely hopeless situation in brooklyn but was known as development coach in atlanta. And sure enough. Everybody who went there. Joe harris spencer. Dinwiddie jared allen versus lower. First round picks. Guys who were you know whether they were reclamation projects whether they were low picks everybody seems to get better the second they went to brooklyn and play kenny atkinson and his staff congenial. Moseley have the kind of effect in orlando can the front office. Get him to kind of guys. That will thrive in that in that kind of environment and carve out careers from cells and carbon identities. Jamal moseley has a lot going for him. And we've heard like many great things about it but we often hear great things about assistant coaches who don't end up panning out so i always. We have to caution ourselves on these things. Because i thought. Brian shaw was gonna be a great head coach and he was. Everybody loved him all the players sung as praises when he was associate head coach under frank. Vogel indiana he goes to denver probably just the wrong guy at the wrong time but he hasn't had another shot since then but that went really badly. Brett brown was really great in in some respects for the for the early years of the process and then suddenly. It seemed like they'd hit some sort of ceiling. Eager kokoschka of had been talked about for years is a great assistant. Coach didn't work out. Swells head coach in phoenix. David dale bumpy ride in memphis and then disastrous in new york. We just don't know like luke walton. Another example like there are plenty of coaches who as their when their assistance. We hear and see the best of them and then you know some of them be go on it and have great success coaches. I mean tyler has been fantastic. Mike malone has been fantastic money williams. Nick nurse dwayne casey a lotta longtime assistance. Get their shot and then you know it. It works out in a dozen. It's all contextual. It's all just the opportunity you have the thing for dallas is. They went with a guy who has experienced jason kit. That experience was not necessarily good experience. Like i think most people around the would look at what he did in milwaukee in brooklyn and say. I'm going to steer clear. Maybe you'd rather have the the unproven. Jamal moseley versus the somewhat proven jason kidd but. I don't think we'll know what the right choice was there for a while yet. Because it's it's gonna take some time before we can evaluate moseley as head coach. I maybe jason kidd learned something in two years as an assistant. I mean that happens. You know working with lebron for entire for two entire seasons working under frank vogel maybe picked up some things that'll be useful to him as a head coach. Moseley to me. The key is giving him time. Like you've got to be committed to moseley for a minimum. I think of three years and more likely five years. And then you see what you have in head coach. You mentioned gore. I mean it's worked out for phoenix. Absolutely but i do think he got hosed out there i mean he only had one year on the job and that year was without deandra aiden chris. Paul had devon booker of course but that was not a good team that he was coaching. There i gotta get moses the because you want to see what the guy can do when you put that team in a position to win a great example to me is james breglio in charlotte. I mean berea. Was one of those guys assistant coach elevated to head coaching position in charlotte. Not great first couple of years there but when he was given players and chance to win he did pretty well. I mean up until lamelo ball went out the horns were really good team and i think they will be a good team. Going forward in part because of the borrego is a pretty good coach. I want to see this magic team. Invest heavily in jamal. The you're the guy developed these guys and we'll keep you around no matter what the won loss record says until you get a chance to win then you judge like brett brown six or seven days since brett brown left but i can see the for letting go of brett brown. I mean they had a talented team and to a degree the underachieved. But you've got to let the coach get a roster on that level before you really make any decisions about whether they can coach. Yeah well and that's the thing about. This is what set up says apart. I think the good organizations from the bad ones is that you you decide when you choose a guy. Especially if he's a longtime assistant not a guy with head coaching experience. And you've said we believe in this guy. This is somebody who's got a great trekker record as an assistant. We're going to first opportunity. It's your obligation to when you say investment. Yeah it's time investment. It's a give them all the tools to succeed. Give him the time to succeed. You've decided you believe in him. So stand behind that have the conviction to stand behind that and take some bumps along the way you know maybe maybe memphis and or the knicks should have stuck with david physed longer. You know we had heard nothing but great things about fiscal coming out of miami. Initially we may yet you know. Find out that he. He can be great head coach in the right situation. Maybe those worth rights situations. He might be one of those guys though. I love physios and assist one of those guys. Though the just the temperament is always important. Like the government like memphis yet. Some battles with market assault didn't work out your plus new york. You just might be one of those guys that doesn't have the right temperament to be is based on what we've seen a memphis in new york might be better suited for these ranks but if he succeeds in l. a. I think he'll get another chance right. Maybe i think the point being though that if you as an organization have identified a guy instead he we believe in him then. Okay then believe in him. Stick with them and make sure you've given them enough tools to succeed Is it a pulling the plug at the first sign of of struggle and that's what happens in the nba. too often. is that seems panic. You know the fans turn. There's some minor flare up. Oh the coach and player got into it. Whatever it may good teams that can happen on as well. And it's it's just. It's the way franchises. React so you have to know whether or not the guy is is is right and then stick with them. And so yeah. Let's jomo's should get a nice long here. She got a ton of latitude in orlando given where they are as an organization given the state of that roster. Yeah i agree. Howard enjoy milwaukee looking forward to hearing the conversation with the lazarus on friday. You can check podcast. Right here on the crossover feet again. Make sure you listen to howard's interview. Spencer dinwiddie from last week. It was really really strong. Enjoy -joy the mid west our. We'll talk when you're back on the northeast always a pleasure. My friend the newest player in the pre nba basketball landscape is overtime. Elite elite will begin playing sometime in the fall. And we'll be headlined by some of the top now. Former high school players in the country players would be paid minimum one hundred thousand dollars with some making north of that and have access to high level facilities training as well as educational programs to help. Get a better grasp on that. I'm joined by brandon williams the head of basketball operations for overtime. Elite and kevin ollie the former. Nba guard uconn. Coach was the head coach and director of player development bread. And i want to start here with you. Just kind of give me the ten thousand foot view overtime elite. What are the objectives. What what what was behind the formation of this league. I think any of us. Chris who've been around for a long time i've actually seen Sort of the downside of young players who entered into professional ranks to this point. It's been the nba Who are not ready. And so what does that mean you know not not ready to form and be stars or is it just not ready to be great teammates or is it not ready to be good partners. is sort of all that you know the idea that the work day is much longer than they know. And that there's more responsibility to be in a professional athlete The responsibilities to families and communities we just have to do a better job preparing them and here was an opportunity to be part of a program that wanted to address all that. It's not just about being a good player. It's like we wanna address the whole athlete. Hope so on. Three levels were hitting basketball. Easiest thing understand. I think businesses in our world is education And then there's brand you know. These young people now are moving at a speed that we aren't as older folks and they want to build things An earlier age particularly off the court so building a brand is important something that can last well beyond their tread on tire so we're hitting it in basketball business brand. That's that's that's really thirty thousand foot view. Kevin what attracted you to this job. Just like his dad is the whole person being able coach them from a mind body and soul Experience and understanding the mindfulness athlete I've seen it from a pro level. Got up tune into play thirteen years with twelve different teams so i understand like the different trials and tribulations you go through with a player not saying that these players are gonna go through that but is getting them more prepared if they do come into some certain situations where it's not typically going the right way. How can they manage that situation. So what they do today can echo into tomorrow and having the ability to kana paint on a black blank. Canvas is what a really attracted to me to to this you know. Ot league program we can take the player really shape the curriculum you not with teaching them about subjects. But we're really teaching them about themselves as well from media training From mental health issues. All the different things that come involved because we all know chris is stress. You know from success is a lot of pressures is a lot of people pulling at you. It's a lot of people won't certain things. But how do you deal with that from a player's standpoint where you can play when you get on the basketball court and half clear and not be caught up in the distractions of off the court issues. Um as desks desks were really kind of vocal. Spirit to give back in it and how these kids you know. Have these players be available at the moment of truth to make the right decisions and that was very important to me. Kevin as you mentioned you played in the nba brand. You played in the nba. As well i wanna ask both of you guys and kevin. I'll start with you like if this was available to you as sixteen. seventeen year. Old looking back. Would you have founded attractive with a definitely founded attractive You know i kind of thought the box anyway. I was from chris. Shaw from from from south central and i chose connecticut. So you places that. I didn't even know nothing about growing up. You always thought out the box and never wanted to go down a path that everybody was going down So i was always curious. And i think that's how my mom especially my mom. My dad raised me. So i definitely been curious of this situation. No no speaking now without you know took it. I'm not sure. But i think it really gave me another option to look at it and this is what we're trying to do not saying that the ncaa is wrong overtime. Leaders wrong or right. It's not about that. It's about if you really care about the student. Athletes you give them as much options as possible. And i think this gives the lee student athlete. Another option and i think you know it's a very Great option for them to have and if they choose overtime league we're going to give our whole heart to make sure they're developed on and off the basketball court chris i- jumping after coach It would have been interesting. Chris but i certainly would not have been a candidate i would. Let's just get that right. What what things that's important. We sit down going through just grassroots community and we spent months just talking to people educating about. You know what we're about who we are. Each of us has a reputation in some other space. Not here The this program isn't for everybody is not the right fit for everybody. We are cherry picking and a lot of ways. These are players that feel like they are destined for professional basketball. There are a lot of sixteen year olds. That don't know that yet and their parents aren't convinced that yet in people that support them. Don't don't feel that confidence yet. They may be another year away or two years away but this is not. This is not the right path for everyone. Twenty four athletes roughly twelve per class. We're looking at juniors and seniors and the truth is at this age. What was really funny about scouting them is everybody's skinny and like a lanky and underdeveloped and still has like a mountain of upside to you know to to get through before you can really see who they're going to be but you know if you have a young player like brand williams who's just dreaming of being an nba player but does not much certainty. That's even realistic We gotta be very careful about this approach In taking because there there are risks but for those that that have already established in this deke. They've established a day of separated from their class. You know jaylen. Lewis has an example the most recent example. He's he's he's elevated in separate. The draft isn't tomorrow though so there's still a lot of work to do but he's already in front running physician and it gives everyone low confidence that this is the kind of investment and the kind of pet that would make a ton of sense for players like that. Let me follow up on that brandon. Because you're you're entering. What suddenly become a fairly crowded space in terms of leagues like this. You know the g. league ignite is one season in but they've had a measure of success. We've seen jalen green probably a top pick. Jonathan kamenga top five or six. Then you have the ncw with this. Recent ruling allowing top players to make money off their name image and likeness. How does how does the elite separate itself from that group. Why think i is. We start a little bit sooner so the g. league zone a great job with what we call it a year the prep year that year. That a recent graduates would be going to college and they've already been hacking the system you know going to italy or china So so there's a market for those players and we want an alternative to college for for for us though. Our players are seeking an alternative to high school so we are a school but we think about the resources that were bringing to the table first of which being an nba like environment You know start coach. Ali coach lehto in a robust set of staff. I mean scouting staff a high performance staff administrative team. Our goal was to simulate an nba organization for for young athletes at sixteen seventeen eighteen. Th there there is no other environment. Like that. And i think the big way that we separate with high school athletes Is that both domestically and internationally. We're able to put twenty four of them together in a building. So what we're selling is the best competition for these guys starts at home. I mean every day in line coaches don't minister drills administer competition aspects of practice and getting ready for games but when you look to the right and left and i noticed as a player. There's no weak link. I mean everywhere you look. There's somebody that's doing what you're doing and possibly doing more. Because they they are not just dreamed about the into the league or to the high level. They're on their way there That's where we've been able to. I think create a little separation from others that have tried or looked at something. Like this kevin. How do you approach this job. Do you do it in a similar mindset and you had at uconn where you have young players you also you know yukon. You had to keep them academically eligible you to follow that pretty closely. I mean is there is it a similar mindset or do you take a different tact. I think you just let it be you know. Similar is not. It's just whatever comes you say yes to it and you cultivate hope from it I never coached high school players. They was always you know graduated from high school. And now they're freshman's This situation is a little different in in was recruiting for two to three years. This situation is a little different. But you know from me. Chris i love the unknown about it. And that's the space i live in. Not just wanna make sure that. I have the space incorporate something in these players that they can just think about it can build from a have a foundation so when they make the transition they have every tool in the toolbox to say okay. Oh that's a problem Assess it let me be able to correct it. Let me obsessed. Let me be aware of it and i think that's the difference between you know coaching a high school kid in in the college. Kid i mean you get able to mold them a little bit better and then you have to understand where they at. Now you know back then. I didn't have social media. We didn't have social media now. These kids these players are building their brand a little bit earlier and now you just meet them where they are. And i can't wait to get them up on campus get them up until atlanta just continue to build a great relationship. Welcome spend time with the one on one in. This situation is going to provide us to do a lot more skill development that i didn't have a really good opportunity and it had not one say good opportunity. I didn't have the best opportunity. Because there's so many things we own a row recruiting You own a row fundraising these different things. Brandon's taken care of in. Dan porter is taken care of. I can just really coach the player and work on his skill development on and off the basketball court. So it's really given me my own lane. So i can really perform my job. Mama job is really breaking down and relationships it starts. Relationship is start with trust. Stars will hold is spending time with the the young student athletes on and off the basketball court and pushed them to greatness and the competition is not on. our side of competition is with him. You know can you beat your previous best bestself. Can you be better than today you know. Can you be better tomorrow than you were date. And that's what i'm coaching. And that's what i love to do. And i think we're going to have some great young man as open as biden has going to be vulnerable going to try to reach for the sky. In the sky is going to be ob- you is not going to be limits. I can't wait to get up to atlanta. We've been having some many camps. Chris has been wonderful to get back on the court with the guys. And i'm looking forward to the next mini camp and dan looking forward to getting them up to atlanta. So we really can go to work. You know when. I was was talking to brian. shaw a couple of months ago. Kevin about how he was coaching. The ignite you know it was a lot of pro stop. He was trying to bring to that team. Are you taking that same. Approach you trying to coach them like their nba players or something different. No it's nothing different is just. I'm building pro. Habits in every situation is going to be different. Chris this is going to be some guys. Come in you know. Say for instance like a. John montero will we got him and he you know is a little bit more advanced than some other players because he's been a pro- already and then it's going to be another situation where we gotta talented guy might not be able to get quick but these opportunities we can go at our own pace we can sit down and talk to them but we're really teaching and building pro habits and those habits is going to translate over to them being great pros when that opportunity come invest in the nba are the euro league so every day you know we are building like a practice plan like more of a college practice plan nba practice bandwidth doing drills. That i got from my numerous stops in the nba. You know we're doing sets in the nba. Then we gotta understand that sixteen years old as well you know and maybe sometimes you gotta you know kinda doubt it down a little bit. But i'm gonna let com. I'm going to let that go. i'm not going to focus on one of it. I'm not gonna say oh. We're doing this process. Each and every day every day is different. And that's what i love about the unknown. And i'm gonna treat it like that and we just gonna continue to bill because i think we got great mas and organization that really want to coach the whole person. And that's what i'm really excited about. You decided to upgrade your outdoor deck. So you ordered the essentials. Power washer said a patio chairs and a shiny new grill. And you use your bank of america. Customized cash rewards credit card choosing to earn three percent cashback online shopping and up to five point. Two five percent preferred rewards member which you put toward your most essential deck addition a bird feeder of yours at bank of america dot com slash more rewarding copyright two thousand twenty one bank of america corporation support for this podcast comes from invent together according to studies less than thirteen percent of all inventors who hold a us patent are women black and hispanic college graduates patent at half the rate of their white counterparts. But we can fix that by increasing participation innovation and patenting by underrepresented groups. It would quadruple. The number of american inventors and increase annual gdp by almost one trillion dollars. Invent together is a coalition of organizations companies. Universities and concerned citizens committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to invent and patent because the more diverse. The american patent system gets the stronger and more successful. our nation will become. What can you do to help. Divers inventors patent and unleash economic opportunity. Find out at invent together dot org learn more and take action today brandon not to continue to compare this team to the ignite but when i talked to sharieff abderrahim about that i mean. I had asked him about the sustainability of that team. Given how much. Money was being poured in to pay some of the players. And he bobbed and weaved floyd mayweather trying to answer that question. Because it's it's hard to commit to it without say a television contract more sponsorships and things like that when you can you speak to kind of the sustainability of this because we've seen startups with an influx of cash. Get get in big the first year. But then peter out. I mean what needs to happen. Four overtime elite to become a long term successful program while has got to answers. I think you know a concept. I mean we're we're selling on the ability to develop young players and have a more more pro ready right. So this is. This is the path we are offering basketball development. Call it professional Business development And we are also like leveraging. What is an incredible media platform that again. The things that we like to call a distinguishing factors. That's a huge one. So not to bob and weave one. We gotta be good ass. You know that. That's how have long deputy spurs the spurs. They were good for really long time. And so we've got the that there were good at this note. No pressure on kale right The the the second piece though is you know and this comes from my my time in the nba. It just wasn't that long ago where it out of chicago. Pre-draft combine interview. If i said. I wanna build my brand. Everybody in the room was like smirking and like you know what. What are we talking about like. It's about basketball basketball basketball And you know if you are young team developing and not winning a lot of games truth is you can't sell just basketball because your basketball isn't great you got to sell personalities and stories in that there's something that people can invest in in fall in love with other than like the final score like otherwise. The sixers had no chance right any any development team yet to buy into a story and for us. I think we have a chance to create stories but we get a chance to show those stories because we have a platform. So it's it doesn't take much. I mean i'm not a social media guru. But when i got recruited for this job haven't been around the block a little bit certainly from an nba perspective. I heard a couple of things. I really got my attention. One was fifty million followers That's eyeballs and we all know that that Business follows the eyeballs in whatever in whatever respect. The other was which is unfair. Because i think that number changes month over month but it started at one point four and not set maybe one point eight or one point nine billion with a b. billion views of content a month that overtime in some ways has found a way to the heart. The mind of young people It is being communicated and solid as you know the generation z. sort media and content engine We are doing an amazing thing here which is developing young talent in a pure way that we want to make sure that they are prepared. Top to bottom to do well on the court to do well and communities to do well in business but then there's this other thing which is they want to be known like. No player wants to play in an empty building. Everybody wants to play where it matters. They wanna play. When nick can rock and like the building and just like recognizing their talent. We're just artists. And one thing that is kind of showcase. By one event that that overtime overtime the media company producing s called. You see it on youtube to. Is that over. Hundred million people watched that. I mean that that's not an insignificant number that players that are going to play overtime. Lee will have the opportunity to be known The the opportunity of bring brick big brands to the table and support this platform If not already indicated by the kinds of investors that that have shown interest but the brands that are coming to the table our sustainability is going to be showing value delivering value to not just the athletes but to overtime visibility. I would imagine great for them but can you monetize it. Can you make it so this league is in the black or does it need to be in the black every year. Well my the good news is as a basketball man. No different than a different than the is Get a budget. My job is to be fishing and and spend wisely. I i'm not. I'm not asked to sell tickets or generate revenue that's for a tremendous And in successful a business operations Our job is to make sure that what we are delivering is high is a high level product That you see the growth and development of our young players. What's there recruited. We gotta make them better. They need to be able to perform and probably the best testament of our success is going to be our nba. Gm voting with this pick right but with a coach saying like they did a nice job. This guy was. Well coached testament to takeo and the rest of the coaching staff. That if we're doing that will prove successful. Because guess what the next crop of recruits when we're in the gym like we're not chasing them. There's sort of meeting us at at minimum half way. We need to keep bringing high level taliban and developing talent to prove successful and i have a tremendous set of partners across academics and across content media. That will will do their part to elevate our business. Can you expecting to tap into some of your. nba relationships. I mean as you mentioned thirteen teams in twelve seasons. You've made a lot of friends over the years. We're going to see like san preston sitting in the crowd for your practices as a whole so sam and so many gyms that i know you know Kevin durant and all these guys are destinies in overtime. Just having them be around. We had our first minicamp. Ray allen showed up and not only showed up. He brought his son to work out with guys. Just it was just amazing. does just see how the branches that we can continue to pull up on and they continue to pull on us and be a partnership in. This thing is going to be great. Are you expecting to have kind of drop ins. Durant's involved with the league. You expecting these guys. Just be around. Which i would imagine would be both a resource for you but also an attractive quality to this league definitely. Definitely we going to build a place where it's going to be hopefully a development premier development destination for everybody and you know hopefully katie can come out and work out with guys and russell westbrook and james harden and all these guys that we know and i know i had opportunity to be evolved. Then it's kinda beat a veteran guys We want them to be around. Because it's not. Just me sean. It's also watching tape like these are the different drills and look how k. d. and look how chris paul is using the pick and rolls and now they're showing up that's a that's a big big bang for us with us growing these young talented student athletes To get them inspired to the next level and they're doing a great job done only gonna do. I coached him. Chris a coach me on a day to day basis. I'm open to that and we just really want to have a love affair with guys and and the end of the day chris. We want appease the basketball guys. We wanna play the right way. We want to share a basketball. We wanna run. We wanna have fun. We want how to join the game but it can't just be me me me. It has to be weak. And i'm wanting to teach guys how to be involved in any system they get drafted about. They can be a part of a productive system and be a productive partner in in the community as well no matter what city they when they arrive to the nba brandon. Before let you go. What schedule gonna look like i mean is this team playing. Just walk me through kind of what these kids are getting into. And what kind of schedule you gonna be able to put together so schedule that that is really interesting for everybody. And i wanna try to illuminate. But i've got to be careful we are still contracting with some teams But for the audience the think about it in buckets. We're gonna play independent prep schools. That's going to be a significant part of our schedule. We are a high school so we are looking to schedule. Some of the top independence that you would typically no to have a national schedule can travel that have the ability to be mobile. We're scheduling home and away with with With those folks and it looks like net set as an example It looks like you know. Folks that are playing for a national title Arizona florida california. So it'll be a widespread travel schedule for us. We're also looking at European competition so think about junior euroleague as an example. Some of the best clubs the Insects as an example Where we can get a collection of sixteen to nineteen year old elite talent to compete against us. And then as i mentioned earlier on the show we really feel like the best competition is gonna come internally and that's where our league play Comes into effect so we are looking at our group of twenty four as three teams of eight. There will be standings you'll be able to track will compete against each other. That'll be a significant part of our schedule as well. We don't want to overstep our guys one of the things. We really wanna correct leading science. Guide us here. is is minimized the wear and tear. Nobody's while still developing and preparing for a professional level place so a schedule of maybe thirty five. To forty games is our target. We started september Training camp will will begin Play by mid august. We'll be done by by Late march is how we see our schedule shaping up i'm looking forward to it brennan kevin. It's a really interesting concept and hope you guys have a lot of success with an. I'll certainly be watching a lot of. Nba people will be watching but brandon. Stay out of a set of massachusetts. Kevin has like some basketball. Ptsd from all those bc. Matchups i'm sure would probably were so tough. I don't remember kevin. It's not real like talk about it. But lita past. We'd be six thousand. That's not very nice. That's hovering kevin brand. Thanks for joining me. I appreciate it all right. Thank you chris. Thanks so much.

We have a lot. We want to get into here with you. And we're going to try to get in as much as we can. Because you have a spectacular story and you're really distinguished person not just goaltender but i want to start by talking about goaltending because the choice to become a goaltender. I think is different for everybody. Some they see goaltender. Make a big save on television. Wrote a game and they say. I wanna do that for others. it's well.
