It is Wednesday, August 30th, 2023. My name is Julie Hartman. I am the host of the Dennis and Julie show, or I should say the co -host of Dennis and Julie, alongside Dennis Prager. That premieres every Monday on the Salem News Channel. I am also the host of my own three times weekly show, Timeless with Julie Hartman, which is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on the Salem News Channel. You can also catch those two shows, Dennis and Julie and Timeless, on the Julie Hartman YouTube page, and of course, you can download them on Apple and Spotify. It is great to be with you. To begin this morning, we're going to talk about a 12 -year -old Colorado student, who on Monday was kicked out of class for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. For those who don't know what that is, the Gadsden flag patch, it is the don't tread on me flag that sometimes you see flying around the United States. According to the school district, which kicked this child out of class, that Gadsden flag is only flown in Trump 2020 flag flying white supremacist neighborhoods, which is obviously a lie, and not to mention insulting. This story, I think, provides a pretty apt synopsis of the state of American education for two reasons. First, the teacher who kicked this boy out of class falsely said that the Gadsden patch had, quote, origins with slavery. That is not true. This patch was actually made in the 1770s during the American Revolution, and the slogan don't tread on me was intended to be a message to the British that the American colonists who were rebelling against their rule were no longer going to put up with the British treading on them. That is the first thing that reveals the state of American education because it is very common nowadays for the content in schools to be taught incorrectly. Then the second reason why it says kind of everything you need to know about the state of our country's school system is that in addition to teaching the wrong content, students are being politically persecuted. There was another story in Massachusetts just about three or four months ago where a young 12 -year -old boy, Liam Morrison, was also sent home from school because he dared to wear a t -shirt that said there are only two genders. This is an ever -growing phenomenon in our country, but let's go here to this article I'm reading from American Greatness. On Monday, so two days ago, very recent, a Colorado Springs charter school removed a middle school student from class for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack, alleging falsely that the patch had origins with slavery. A video circulating on X features a Vanguard school administrator explaining to 12 -year -old Jaden and his mother why the boy was pulled from class. The confrontation has gone viral, and due to negative publicity, this is great news, the boy was allowed to have the patch in place when he returned to school on Tuesday. That is totally the right strategy. What happened is that Jaden and his mother were so outraged by Jaden being sent home from school that they went public with this clip. They were on Sean Hannity on Fox News. I believe that they also spoke with Tucker Carlson, or at the very least, Tucker Carlson covered this story. That is the right approach. When something insane happens, whether it's in your child's school or in your workplace, you have to go public with it. That is the only way that we are going to expose the rot of wokeism and try to get it unraveled. This past Monday, in addition to being the day that 12 -year -old Jaden was sent home from school, also marked the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the famous I Have a Dream speech. In addition to Martin Luther King's great activism, nonviolent activism, the thing that ended the racist Jim Crow laws in the South was the fact that Americans were seeing the discrimination against black people on their televisions. The start of cable TV, or at least the popularity of cable TV in the 50s and 60s in contributing to the civil rights movement cannot be underestimated. It is because people started taking video of black people in the South being hosed down by police officers, having dogs unleashed on them. And in the court of public opinion, the Jim Crow laws and other racist measures that were present in the South no longer became acceptable because people were seeing with their own eyes how disgusting it was. That is what we need to do now in this arguably new civil rights era in our country. We need to go public, show video, send audio of a teacher berating a student. So I just thought that was interesting that on the same day that this child was sent home was the same day that Martin Luther King delivered that speech. Similar lessons can be gleaned from both of those experiences. Continuing from American greatness, this is a quote from the school administrator. The reason that we do not want the flag, the reason that we do not want the flag displayed is due to its origins with slavery and the slave trade. The Gadsden flag, the surprised mother responded to which the administrator replied the don't tread on me flag. The mother asked what would happen if Jayden removed the patch and the staffer answered flatly the bag can't go back if it's got the patch on it because we can't have that in and around other kids. They're talking about this patch like it has cooties, like if you get within five feet of it, you are going to get a highly contagious deadly flu. We can't have this around other children. Lest they get infected with the imaginary bigotry of the Gadsden flag patch, the mother shot back. Yeah, it has nothing to do with slavery, I love this. The mother is teaching the teacher. That's like the Revolutionary War patch that was displayed when we were fighting the British. Thank you Jayden's mother for teaching basic elementary history to an elementary school teacher. The administrator responded, I am here to enforce the policy that was provided by the district. This is such cowardice. It's not me who's doing this, even though I'm the one who sent the child home. It's a policy. I'm just hiding behind the policy. The mother and son pointed out that other Vanguard kids, Vanguard is the school in Colorado, are allowed to have other various patches on their backpacks. That's exactly right. I bet that there are students at that school who have come in with Black Lives Matter patches or pride patches or even t -shirts with those symbols. Why is that okay? Arguably Black Lives Matter, not just arguably, I mean it's pretty evident, Black Lives Matter is far more offensive of a flag than the Gadsden flag. Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization which advocated for uprooting the Western prescribed notions of the nuclear family. The Black Lives Matter organization has accumulated billions and billions and billions of dollars that has gone absolutely nowhere to places that would actually help black people. They purported to raise this money for bail funds and for scholarships and for public school funding. What we have found out is that it has actually gone into the pockets of the founders so that they could buy $6 million mansions here in Los Angeles. Those billions of dollars were also used to, actually they were used for bail funds, but they were used to bail out violent rioters who set buildings aflame. Those riots in 2020 killed 25 people, many of whom were black. But the Black Lives Matter flag is okay. I bet you there would be no issue, but the Gadsden flag, oh yes, that is bigotry. How about the pride flag? You know, pride no longer represents tolerance of those with different sexual identification. It a represents movement that seeks to condone the genital mutilation of young children in the name of so -called gender affirming care. Is that offensive? Would that flag be allowed in schools? I bet you it would. 1 -8 Prager, 776 -1877 -243 -777 -6. Back in a moment. Precious metals, it's imperative that you buy from a trustworthy and transparent dealer that protects your best interests. So many companies use gimmicks to take advantage of inexperienced gold and silver buyers. Be cautious of brokers offering free gold and silver or brokers that want to sell you overpriced collectible coins claiming they appreciate more than gold and silver.

Triple G has notified me that we actually have a clip of this recording of the administrator telling 12 -year -old Jaden, the Colorado student, that he could not wear the Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. I just want to play a minute of the video for you so that you can hear this. And for those of you who are watching the show on the Salem News Channel, you will see that this boy is so polite. He's clean cut. He has a nice shirt on and he's sitting there, you know, with his hands clasped together and he's just nodding and taking it in, incredibly dignified and polite. He didn't say anything like, come on, this is ridiculous. What the heck is going on here? He handled that with such class. His mother should be proud. Let's hear a minute of this clip. Thank you. Do they know what the Gadsden flag is? It's a historical flag. So there, the reason that they do not want the flag, the reason we do not want the flag is due to its origins with slavery and slave trade. That is what was, that's the reason behind the Gadsden flag. The don't tread on me, which is the Gadsden flag. Okay, so he, what's going to happen if he doesn't take it all? He, I mean, he is able to go, I was actually just telling him, like, I was upset that he was missing so much school. I'm like, ah! So I asked him, can he just take his stuff out of his bag and go back to class? Like, I just want him to go back to class. The bag can't go back. It's got a patch on it, because we can't have that in and around other kids. So that's what I was trying, and then he said you were close, so I was like, oh, okay. It's amazing that this administrator is saying, you know, I hate that he's missing school. He's missing school because of you, my friend, or not my friend, my enemy. All right, reading continuing from American Greatness, the head of the school told Jaden's mother that the patch was, quote, disruptive to the classroom environment, and that the boy was welcome to return to class on Tuesday, but only if he removed the patch, okay? Because of its creator's history and because it is commonly flown alongside Trump 2020 flags, the Confederate battle flag, and other white supremacist flags, some may now see the Don't Tread On Me flag as a symbol of intolerance and hate or even racism. Oh, gosh. We could spend the entire three hours on that quote. Okay, so many lies in that one sentence. But they're saying that Trump 2020 flags are white supremacist flags. How is that not political persecution? So half this country are white supremacists, really? And then I love this line here. Some may see it as a symbol of intolerance, hate, or even racism. Welcome to the tyranny of the minority. If one person is made to feel uncomfortable by that flag, the entire school has to go along with that person's preferences. This child has to be sent home. As the administrator said, he loses out on learning because this one person may, in a hypothetical world, be uncomfortable. So this is interesting because let's look at these four adjectives that were used to describe this patch, disruptive, intolerant, hateful, and racist. We live in a world where there is such a profound assault on truth. And what comes alongside that assault on truth is an assault on the objective meaning of words, because that's basically another way of saying the truth, that words hold a objective, truthful meaning. You know, when people say, well, what's the harm of calling a man a woman or a woman a man? What's the harm of saying words are violent? This is the harm, because when words lose their objective meaning, the rules and the standards that are associated with those words also lose their objective meaning, and then all havoc breaks loose. There is this standard in American public education. It was established in a Supreme Court case in 1969. The case is called Tinker versus Des Moines, Iowa School District. And it dealt with the fact that students came to class wearing Vietnam War or anti -Vietnam War wristbands, and they were asked to remove those wristbands. And this case went all the way up to the Supreme Court, and the court established what's called the Tinker standard of regulating speech in schools, because they had to balance the fact that sometimes it is necessary and even good to regulate speech in schools for disciplinary reasons, but also respecting the fact that students have First Amendment rights. So they established this standard, which essentially says that students have a right to express political speech, wear shirts, wear backpack stickers, wear wristbands. As long as that speech is not disruptive to the classroom and does not infringe on the rights of other students to learn. So here we see that this school district in Colorado is saying that Jaden's backpack patch is disruptive. And so if we are now calling a backpack patch disruptive, then it means that they can lawfully tell Jaden to go home and get rid of it, because the Tinker standard says that they have a right to censor speech that is disruptive. Once the objective meaning of words change, then that paves the way for the objective meaning of rules and standards associated with those rules to change. Another story that we will cover in this hour is this Spanish soccer league craziness where the head, I believe it was, of the Spanish soccer league went up and kissed one of the female players after the Spanish female soccer team won the World Cup. This kiss, which by the way I do not condone, you shouldn't kiss someone if it is unwanted or without their consent, but this kiss is now being called sexual assault. And this man who planted the unwanted kiss on the female soccer player is under criminal investigation for sexual assault, which in Spain, as in the United States, carries prison time as a potential punishment. Another perfect example of the way that if we change words, then we change the laws associated with those words. Because now if a kiss is called sexual assault, then you can be prosecuted or brought to trial for alleged sexual assault if you kiss someone. This is very scary. That is why conservatives make such a fuss when words are used improperly, because it leads to a slippery slope. And by the way, this is going to affect all of us. There are going to be many people, we're already seeing it happen, who are going to be fired from their jobs or sent home from school for supposedly being disruptive or racist when they're not. We have calls. We'll take them in the next segment. 1 -8 Prager 776 -1877 -243 -7776. I'm eager to hear your reactions. Back in a moment.

We are discussing the fact that this 12 -year -old boy in Colorado was sent home from school on Monday for wearing a Don't Tread On Me patch on his backpack. The school said that he had to remove it. In order to return to school, he and his mother went public with a recording of the administrator admonishing him. And the public outrage over this incident led to the school allowing Jaden to come back with the patch on his backpack. I should also note that the school announced that they would be canceling Parents Night due to quote, unforeseen circumstances. Clearly, they do not want to face some questions about this incident. Let's go to Steve in Chicago, Illinois. Hi, Steve. Thanks for calling in. Yeah, Julie, thanks a lot. So, here's where I'm going to part company with you, okay? Whatever happened at School of Colorado sounds ridiculous, okay? But you beat it like a dead horse a thousand times to make it sound as if this is commonplace. You talk about transgender issues, and Dennis Prager does it nonstop. And what you do, and the way to deceive people, okay, which is what I think you and Dennis do, is to omit from your discussions and your narrative other information that would make what you're saying completely false, okay? What is that information that we are omitting? Well, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. You guys beat this transgender drum like they are going to take over the world and destroy civilization. The fact is - When have we ever said those words? That they're going to take over the world and destroy civilization? I listen to Dennis all the time. It's incessant. And the fact is, is there are very few transgender people relative to the population, okay? That's true. Most of us will never meet a transgender person. The few people who are transgender are afflicted with a horrible psychiatric illness, okay? They deserve empathy. No one is forcing them to undergo any transgender hormonal treatment. I'm going to pause you there, Steve. I don't mean to cut you off, but just for the sake of time, I'm going to pause you and I'd like to continue a discussion, but I have to cut in. You are right, Steve, that there is a relatively low number of transgender individuals relative to the population, which is why I ask the question, why is teaching that gender is non -binary and fluid becoming so mainstream if this is so rare? And I encourage you, Steve, and anyone listening who may agree with his disagreement of Dennis' position and my position, I encourage you to read the California Department of Education codes, the Arizona Department of Education codes, New Jersey, Michigan. Many states, blue states around the country, in these codes have things that say that you should teach kids that gender is non -binary. In New Jersey, they say that you should not refer to children using gendered pronouns. Here in Los Angeles, the LAUSD, which has about 450 schools under its jurisdiction, has monthly Rainbow Club meetings where students as young as four years old are subjected to drag queen story hour. This is not a fringe thing. This is very mainstream, and they are also taught these radical gender codes. I agree that people who are experiencing gender dysphoria deserve empathy. That is why I, and I feel comfortable speaking for Dennis, that is why Dennis and I are so disgusted. And that is the word disgusted by this movement, which is saying, legitimizing the fact that it is normal to not feel your gender. These individuals deserve empathy, they deserve therapy, but what they do not deserve is being subjected to doctors and students who are saying, yeah, you're 13 years old or you're 15 years old and you don't feel like your gender, here are some puberty blockers, and by the way, you should have your breasts cut off. This is happening at the Duke University Medical School, Medical Hospital, excuse me, Boston Children's Hospital. This is happening all over the country. I'd like to give Steve an opportunity to respond. We may have to go into the next segment, Steve. We don't have much time. OK. Yeah. What you're saying about people having their breasts, women having their breasts cut off and hormonal blockers, again, it's a misleading narrative you're giving. OK. No, no, no female is going to breast cut off without her consent, without substantial psychiatric involvement. OK. It is not substantial psychiatric involvement. That is not true. You know what? You know what? I've studied this issue. It is true. As have I. As have I. It is very common for these kids. OK, I'm sorry. We're going to have to continue into the next segment. Steve, stay on. We'll pick it up. Back in a moment.

It's known as Section 130, the railway highway crossing program, and since its inception in 1973, the program has been connected to a significant decrease in fatalities and crossings, according to the Federal Highway Administration. For the 2024 fiscal year, the HWA has allocated some $245 million in funding for the program. From 2000 to 2019, crossing fatalities have decreased by 32%. That is in spite of an increase in the total number of vehicle miles traveled on roads as well as freight and passenger rail traffic. The fiscal year 2024 apportionments are being awarded to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The railway highway crossing program is a state -administered program that provides funds for the elimination of hazards at railway crossings. According to the Federal Railroad Administration last year, there were 2 199 highway rail grade crossing collisions resulting in 273 fatalities and injuries. I'm Ken Chester.

Yeah, I think I organizations have seen a drop in volunteers on habitat projects. And I would say I think it correlates with the louder hunters argue about licenses. The last show up to habitat projects. We really need to turn this around. We need to get this settled and move on. The other way. Hulk smash, I'm mad. I don't want to do it.

"And imagine all the people we get to help, because, you know, if you're, if you're in trouble, or you want to improve yourself, if you have money, if you've got things that you need to work out, if you have money, you go to a therapist. It's expensive, right? If you don't have money, where do you go? If you don't want to take a psychedelics, where do you go? And so I want to provide a resource for people that, you know, regardless of whether or not you want to take the psychedelics, there's a way to heal. There's someone there to walk you through and guide you through that very personal, deep work. Do you have some good experience now behind you with being essentially a sitter, if you will? I don't know what the correct term is. Shaman sitter. That's not really my area of expertise, and I don't pretend it to be. You know, I have people that my Friends are very, very experienced. My husband has been, he's been in the psychedelic space just as long as he's been in the community. Quite a bit of experience, but gathering the right team of therapists, get everything in the right team of vision makers and people that specialize in those visuals, the sacred geometry. And be able to just create a beautiful experience that touches your heart that actually lets you quiet that voice to let you listen to the wisdom within deep inside of you. That's our job. Can I ask you a couple of personal questions? Not too personal. So what's the most profound takeaway you've gotten from the psychedelics? I mean, other than it sounds like you really want to help people and you really feel that it's a great tool as far as healing and stuff. But what have you gotten it from or what have you gotten there?

"Asking for help with gang violence in Seattle's central district after two rolling shootouts this week Well, investigators are describing these as you said, shootouts cars, people in cars shooting at each other while going down this area of 23rd Avenue here in the central district. In one of those cases, one of the cars involved actually rolled onto its side. Now what police tell us in that case, there was a burst of gunfire around 22nd and Cherry in the central district. A lot of neighbors called that in. Then the car rolled and we saw actual bullet damage in that that SUV had rolled. Police said they're still investigating who was involved in that. But one thing that is certain is people here are definitely on edge. We caught up with Victoria Beach. She's an advocate for this area. She also advises Seattle police. The gang members that are doing this, they don't fear the police. They don't fear the community. They know that we don't have a full police department and it's a free for all. Seattle police are on pace to seize a record number of illegal guns this year. And it is more than just frustration. The data shows those. There has been a steep increase in gun violence in Seattle and in this area specifically over the course of the last year. And that's KOMO 4's Jeremy Harris reporting. And tonight at six o 'clock, there's going to be a community meeting to discuss this kind of investigation. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. I know you're going to want to stop and help at times, but they say call nine one one to help them do not because sometimes they're trying to lure you to pull over. If someone approaches you in your car, drive away carefully. Don't speed off, but definitely don't let them get too close and keep your doors and windows locked even on a short trip to the local store. That's important as well. And another thing you might not think of is this when you come out of the store, another thing you want as to do soon as you get back in your car. You got their packages, you got the kids you're thinking about, but also think about get once you in the car, make sure you lock the door.

I think we actually need to have better outreach by social agencies within this area, the people who work for us in the city to listen to us by days and nine truckloads of stuff had been hauled away. Still, people like this to say they have seen all of this before. It happens every so often that they clear it out, it but doesn't last since January 14 large fires popped up here and the state has put up fencing to try and deter encampments, but the problem has just continued to flare up. Just like in Seattle, homelessness is a major concern for leaders in Spokane at the top of mayor elect Lisa Brown's list. We're in the middle of the year and so addressing the issue of the unhoused population and what's literally an issue of survival for people who are currently outside is going to be a big issue.

"The first sign that maybe Jane Rashad was about to commit to Florida is on November 9th, Hugh hathcock tweets, there's going to be some really big news tomorrow, gator fans. And so when Hugh hath talk tweeted this, Darren heitner. He responded with Muppets GIF of current furiously typing on a typewriter. Which we would take to mean he's writing up a contract. Right. Same thing the next day, 24 hours later, Hugh hathcock says, don't worry, Gators fans almost done, then around midnight eastern that night, Jaden announces he's committing for Miami and committing to Florida. We see that he signed the contract on November 10th. The same day that all that was happening. Okay, and tell us what you and Andy found about the NIL deal that was part of Jane Rashad as switching his commitment to the university of Florida. An absolutely wild amount. It's a four year contract that if you total up all the payments that were due, $13.85 million. Wow. To put that in perspective, Kenny Pickett was a first round quarterback Pittsburgh steel horses past year. His entire rookie contract was $200,000 more than that. Wow. It would be more than nearly every college football coach in America makes. It's just an absolutely wild number. So what we gather is the Florida collective believed that that 9.5 million figure was real. The offer from Miami. The offer from Miami, yes. And they were going to bid it in a big way. And I understand that you actually got a copy of this $13.85 million and IL contract. What did it say? Jaden Rashad I had to do to get all that money. It was very minimal. One Twitter and one Instagram post a month. 8 events over the course of an entire year. You know, where you meet fans and whatnot. And then most amusing to me, autographed 15 pieces of memorabilia a year. And they made sure to point out that a pair of shoes would count as one item not to. I think this speaks to how naked some of these things are about it being pay for play. Pay for play is not allowed. But you're basically just throwing in a cursory amount of NIL work. I think it's also important to note that it does not in the contract. Anywhere say that you're getting this money to play for the university of Florida. Instead, all it says is he has to be enrolled at a university, doesn't specify which one. Okay. And live in Gainesville, Florida. Okay. So that's the way around. Legally, that's the way around saying that we're paying you to come to play for the Gators. Yeah, got it. So walk us through how this offer proved to be too good to be true. So the first payment would have been due on December 5th for $500,000. It comes time for that payment to be due and on December 7th, the gator collective sense them a termination letter that they're just terminating the contract. No reason was given. However, in that contract, and this is where I would get back to the beginning and say, make sure you have a good lawyer that looks at this thing, that the gator collective can terminate this contract in its sole discretion, and so as many people have said since our story came out, it's not really a contract if one side can get out of the contract at any time. Without any punishment, right? Yeah. I want to ask you to speculate too much here, but Stewart, what do you think was going on here? I mean, these guys put together this huge contract offer. And then they missed the very first payment, and then they terminate the agreement. I mean, are they just trying to lure this kid to campus and then hoping they can cobble together some amount of money to entice him to stay? This is the great mystery at the heart of it because everybody's just pointing fingers at each other. If it was, like you said, kind of a trap. Let's just get this kid on the team and then we'll pull the rug out from under him, then they should have waited a couple of weeks because signing day was on December 21st. But one thing we do know is that they never got any written assurance from any booster or boosters that the money would be there. That somebody was funding this contract. Which seems like kind of a significant detail to overlook. To say the least. So it could be the case that they made this huge offer, assuming they could go out and raise the money to fulfill the contract, and then they just couldn't do it. That would be, yeah, that would be a good assumption. Okay. This has been a pretty high profile story, Stewart, and I think you're reporting in particular is shined a pretty powerful light on it. What consequences do you think there might be from this? Do you think there's going to be some sort of fallout as a result of this particular case? I have to imagine there will be an anti investigation, they've talked a big game lately about that they're going to crack down on this. And this is the most public, biggest numbers, some of the stuff that's described in the story would just at the very least be considered a violation of the booster contact with recruits. So I have to think there'll be the NCA will be involved at least with Florida and possibly with Miami. Whether anything comes to that will remains to be seen, but about a week before our story came out, they announced that they had enacted a new bylaw as of January 1st. That says that if they believe there's an NIL violation based on a tip, a news article whatnot, they will assume the enforcement people will assume there is a violation and it will be up to the schools to prove otherwise. Guilty until proven innocent. Guilty until proven innocent. I don't see how that flies in a court of law. But that is the policy they've invoked. So in this case, if that's true, they could go to Florida and say, hey, we read the story in the athletic. Here's all these things that we pointed out. We think they're all true approve otherwise. And there's no requirement that that is public, a lot of times we don't know that an investigation has begun or until very late in that process, but we'll certainly be keeping our ears open. Has there been any comment from the university of Florida or from the football program? No, everybody on this has gone quiet. We haven't heard from Florida. We haven't heard from their shots or certainly anybody that was involved in negotiating that contract. Okay, and bringing this back to Jaden Rashad, Stuart, how does his story at least for now? And we don't quite know why it all went down in the order that it did, but he still moved to Gainesville. By then they would have known the $13 million deal wasn't happening. But they still packed his stuff, shipped it from California to Florida. This all fell apart when the deadline came for him to enroll, and then he didn't enroll. He asked for a release from his letter of intent. They're under no obligation to release you, but clearly after that mess that fiasco, they did release him from the letter of intent pretty quickly. And he reopened his

"All right, so Stewart Jaden Rashad bails on Miami. Tell us now about some of the people working behind the scenes to get him to commit to the university of Florida. So when all of these collectives are launching, a former baseball player for Florida announces that they're going to launch something called the gator collective. Most people I wonder what's getting collected. It's a team of talented athletes and passionate fans. It's the playbook for our NIL success. This is a lot different than, you know, John Ruiz's company is a publicly traded company. The gator collective is this kind of relatively new organization. And they're relying on donors and fans actually to contribute to it. You do a great job supporting your Gators. This is your chance to show your support off the field. Join gator collective today and help gator nation be the best place for NIL opportunities. There's this other booster Hugh hathcock who I believe $12.5 million donation to the floor is athletic department recently. And that was the largest donation anybody had ever made to the athletics department. And so he was kind of talking a big game about, I'm going to start my own collective for big money, high wealth individuals to donate to. We don't know that that one ever really got off the ground. It just kind of became one and the same. All these boosters are working together. When you set up an organization like that, do you have to disclose who is in the organization? Is there a board? How transparent are these organizations to the public? Not very transparent. I mean, some of them have nobody thinks this is particularly a good idea. Some of them have set themselves up as nonprofits, which would obviously open them up to more tax scrutiny. But there's no public database. You can go into and see this kid made this much or whatnot. It mostly happens in the dark. And they don't have to report to anyone where they're getting their money from. Who are the donors to these collectives, they're not required to disclose all that? No, it's not a very well regulated industry, if you can figure that out already. Yeah. I have that sense.

"Began allowing college athletes to earn money from their names, images, and likenesses, some athletes have been cashing in. Sedona's social media skills have propelled her to a league quite frankly of her own as an influencer slash equity holder. The most valuable college football NIL deal goes to none other than Alabama's Bryce young. Sources now report that young has already signed contracts totaling more than $800,000, and he's been offered deals worth more than a $1 million. But in the wild wild west that is the world of NIL deals, it sometimes hard to know who or what to believe. Today, the athletic Stewart mandel tells us the story of Jaden Rashad, a top high school quarterback from California who saw his and IL dream and what he thought was millions of dollars go up in smoke. It's a kind of a sad story. I mean, here's a kid who you could say he was naive and he should never have believed that the $13 million existed in the first place, but he did. And you go from thinking you're about to be super rich to nothing. From wondering, I'm under skeleton. It's Wednesday, February 15th, and this is the lead. Disturb and off. Welcome back to the lead. Thanks. Thanks for having me. So Stewart today, we are diving into the very bizarre story of Jaden Rashad, who you and your colleague at the athletic and de Staples recently wrote about a really in depth article. Before we get into what actually happened here, I just want to Stewart. In your mind, what kind of a story is this? Is this a cautionary tale? Is this a commentary on the state of college athletics? What kind of story is this? Well, the cautionary tale certainly if you're a quarterback recruit or a parent of a quarterback recruit or somebody who knows a recruit, you know, I hope that they would first of all realize just how many bad actors there are in the NIL space right now and the importance of having a good adviser in terms of the state of college football, coaches, in particular, but a lot of people don't love NIL and the direction it's headed. And while we don't think this is the norm, we think his story is definitely an outlier in terms of the amounts that are being discussed and just how badly it went. It is, to me, a snapshot of how did we get here? Having the ability for athletes to make money off their name image likeness is something most people thought should happen, but we're in this weird kind of limbo state or the schools themselves still can't directly pay the athletes. And so they've outsourced NIL to these third party collectives. Some of which are very professional and very well run. The one that's at the focus of this story, the gator collective, clearly is not. All right, well let's dive into the story itself here. First of all, Stewart, tell me about the kid at the center of all of this. Jane Rashad, a quarterback recruit from the Bay Area in the class of 2023, kind of popped on the scene as a recruit as a high school sophomore and then really blew up as a junior. Rankings of Rashad is amongst the most coveted players in the class and is one of two players him and Dante Moore in the top 5 yet to make their commitment, but this was a quarterback class full of big names like arch Manning Peyton and Eli's nephew. He wasn't quite in that stratosphere. But good enough to be invited to the elite 11 finals. One of the best pure throwers of the football in this class, kind of reminds me of Dwayne Haskins, but completed over 62% of his passes for 3055 yards. People close to him described him as very humble, smart, good natured. My name's Jane Rashad and I'm from Bay Area, California. Brentwood. Two different people we talked to talked about how around the holiday season. He put together all these backpacks and gift bags and whatnot full of food, a Bible. The ability to help others when they need it. And that I'm a better person than I am a football player and I'm a person before I'm a football player. And when he first went into this recruiting process, kind of eyes wide open, really excited, kind of genuinely in awe that he was getting all this attention. All right, well, Stewart has anyone who follows college football knows name image and likeness deals these days are a huge part of the recruiting process. Technically those deals are not supposed to influence a recruits decision about what school to attend, but everyone knows this is happening to some extent behind the scenes. So knowing that, how did Jaden Rashad and his family wander into the whole NIL part of things? NIL, if we back up a second, NIL, it was not allowed by the NCAA until July 1st, 2021. So this class that we're talking about, the 2023 class was the first one to go through the full cycle. Knowing the NIL payments were possibility. If you go back about a year ago, 5 star quarterback Nico E emalia has committed to Tennessee. Now quarterback from Southern California, Nico eleva gets a four year $8 million contract with a collective associated with Tennessee. He's now at Tennessee. And that story blew everybody's mind. Discussed, the idea of the $8 million NIL deal, the laws in the state of California that allow some of this money to even start to be given even while you are still a junior in high school. We now know that that was an outlier that there aren't that many collectives that have that kind of money to throw around in the first place. But as far as the public knew, certainly recruiting people knew, well, that must just be the rate for a 5 star quarterback now. And who did the Rashad is bringing onto their team to help advise them in this world of big NIL deals? And so there was a lawyer in Orange County Mike Caspian, who kind of got in on this very early on. My name is Mike casino. And I am an attorney. He had never been involved in sports cases. You know, he had represented from what we could tell. He represented the Catholic Church. I have represented dozens of Catholic diocese, Catholic orders, all kinds of Catholic organizations, and I have dealt with hundreds of childhood sexual abuse cases. He's an Orange County where a lot of those Catholic schools and the Trinity league are football powerhouses. His own son played at Santa margarita. So he was familiar with this world and I just think he saw an opportunity and got in early. He would tell you he's not an agent, but he definitely acts as an agent. And once it became known publicly that he was the one who did that contract, you had all of these recruits and families across the country calling him, hey, can you get the deal like that for me? And one of them was Jaden Rashad.

"jaden" Discussed on NBA Front Office w/ Keith Smith & Trevor Lane
"Thank you, nuts. What do we think about this? How much does this actually matter in terms of the kings and their draft process? Yeah, I don't think he let it chase you off that they did. Well, worries me more is the medical part. In its sounds like the way the story is being reported by Jonathan givani of ESPN, that the kings haven't been able to get his medical. That part makes me a little bit concerning. Now, Jade and ivy also though it doesn't have like a long history of injury that I'm aware of, so that's maybe less concerning. He's also not a 7 footer, where you really want to be able to look at those guys and go to the back, the legs, the feet look like on those kids with that. So that's a part damps concerning but not super worrisome. So I do think it is a position for the kings aware. This is not great. And the only way this gets fixed is if they fix it, right? And start winning and start making good decisions. Exactly. Then all of a sudden that you stuff goes away and you will go a different direction. It seems like, well, the kings have to trade this pick now, right? They've got to move. In a different direction, well, you don't make a bad trade just because it does not want to be there. In the reality is the way the NBA works. Fair unfair that's a discussion for a much later time. It doesn't matter what he wants. It's he's not going to not sign and not play. You don't have any control over this earlier. You can try to control it to the extent of right now. Hey, I don't want to be here. But what's that mean in four years? You're going to sign somewhere else. Kings aren't going to worry about that. And it's not like he's going to show up and not play hard and all those other things. So if you're the thing, you do what you think is best for you without a lot of regard for the rest. That said, I don't fault Jaden ivy at all. Absolutely..

"Natural tools he has as a playmaker. If he can find a way to kind of mix and match those two skills a little bit better and actually play with vision and instead of taking bad shots from the mid range that are just fucking terrible like offense killers. I actually really kind of buy the skill level. When I went back, I was expecting almost to have Jaden hardy as like 27 to 35 range guy. When I went back, I was like, oh no, this is definitely a first round pick. This is like a probably top 20 guy for me. I can't quite get to where you are, but the tape was more impressive than what I thought. Well, in context is important too, whether it's the shot selection or the playmaking and assist numbers. I think a lot of people look at low assist numbers and assume that there's not a lot of great playing making going on there. The context and the ignite system is incredibly important because of who he was surrounded with. Like this team was not expertly put together for a lead guard to go and just score because Dyson Daniels didn't shoot the ball well. Marjan bojan didn't shoot the ball well. Scoot Henderson didn't shoot the ball well. Michael foster didn't shoot the ball well. Like all of these guys that were supposed to be surrounding Jaden hardy when he had the ball just not a lot of three point threats and the floor is shrunk and because he's not a great athlete and relies on his skill. That's a lot harder to try to get through. I think that his assist numbers probably take a little bit of an uptick, maybe a few of those mid range jumpers or step back threes disappear when he's surrounded by better shooters and maybe the rim attempts and percentages go up a little bit as well. So I'm with you on the defensive stuff like there's concerns. But I believe in his offensive package so much that I'd be willing to build a roster around blanketing some of those concerns and think that that's what he brings to the table offensively is valuable enough to do that. Yeah, I think that that's the slight difference between us. I wouldn't be willing to build a roster around it. I would be willing to bring him into my roster to see if he can just accentuate some of those passing abilities in excise some of the disaster shot selection. And then early on build a second unit around him maybe. Maybe by like year two or so, year three and see if that works. It's kind of where I'm at on it. But yeah, like I'm tentatively more in on Jaden hardy than what I expected to be when we started this process. The other guy I wanted to talk to you about is AJ Griffin because when I watched AJ Griffin's tape back, I think I ignored maybe how bad he was defensively while the season was happening. He's a disaster on defense. Like he is really fucking bad on that end..

"Yeah, that's a really good pitch. And it's something that when I went back and did the draft guide profile on Jaden hardy, the thing that stood out to me most was the ball handling. Like I actually think he has the best functional handle in this draft class. It's kind of where I'm at on this. Jaden hardy probably okay, let me rephrase. I think that Jaden hardy probably is the best technical handle in this draft class. Jaden ivy literally just being able to run around someone and like run past someone is probably a bit more functional. Then what Jaden hardy can do and at the end of the day, I kind of just buy the Jade and ivy is going to make that work at the NBA level. But once you get past J 90, I think in terms of just technical ability off the ball, the way that he strings together change of pace and change of direction moves, the way that he can string together like a hesitation, we'll do like a hang dribble into a crossover into a between the legs into another between the legs into a step back and you're just like, oh, that's like a professional move. That's not a that's not an 18 year old, like kind of playing around here. That's a NBA caliber move that he's able to get separation on. The two things that worry me a little bit on Jaden hardy are that I don't think he's as good of a shooter as someone like say cam Thomas was last year in terms of his touch. Like Ken Thomas has always been hovering around that like 90% mark from the foul line. And I think that Jaden hardy has as well. But you kind of just watched the way the ball comes out of his hand, it feels a lot cleaner with cam Thomas than it does with Jaden hardy and I'm a little bit worried about Jaden hardy being.

"Although the consensus seems to have come to where we are on it, where we have them is a later first round pick. You've kind of actually swayed me a little bit to where I think I might end up with him like around the 20 mark at the end of the day. I would love to hear your pitch on Jaden hardy because I know that you have him even way higher than like top 20 guy. So I give you the floor, Adam spinella. Yeah, so I have Jaden hardy right now as a top 6 prospect. I have a number 6 on the board, which is incredibly incredibly rich for a lot of people out there. And I totally understand why. But there are two things that really stand out for me. One is draft philosophy and the other is how good you have to be to earn certain opportunities. The draft philosophy that I tend to have in the top ten is that you're looking for guys that are going to at some point be flagship carriers for your franchise. And typically those are guys who can go out there and just score in a playoff series, create their own, be really, really good on ball and off ball scorers. I think hardy has a lot of evidence that he can be both of those things. He's not polished enough in those areas right now, but he's shown a lot of evidence that he's confident. He's got some three level potential and has a really tight ball handle, the wiggle, the ability to create separation for his own shot. We can go back and forth about the frustrations about relying on those step backs as opposed to trying to get to the rim, but of a huge believer that that's kind of what you draft for. And in my opinion, outside of the.

"He's intriguing enough right now to be in that top 60, invited to the camp. So it's just a long-term play for Miller, not exactly that he's not a winner from the process, but he definitely looked like he didn't belong out there, right? A lot of the habits last year were the poor habits were evident. Well, and this is a guy that I think most of these players like Christian Brown has played in so many big games throughout the course of his career. I don't think he's actually gaining from like gaining from a development standpoint, playing in the combine. Right. I actually think Leonard Miller probably gained from a development standpoint, playing in the combine and getting to feel what that athleticism is like another game where he gets to like really feel what high level athleticism is on the court where he gets to feel like what the spacing is like is a guy that's 6 foot ten that's played in more condensed courts for the most part. Like I think that's actually a really positive developmental moment for Leonard Miller and I really will be interested to see if a team is willing to promise him at a level where he is comfortable with staying in the draft. Ultimately, I think it would be better for him long term for his basketball development for the ease with which his career can start. Potentially being a first round player that gets drafted and gets more organizational commitment. I think it would probably be better for him to go back and do like the ignite next year, really learn from the process as we've seen someone like Jaden hardy, Jaden hardy had a disastrous first half of the season and it still didn't really hurt him that much. I mean, I heard him in the process, but like he's still gonna go somewhere in the first round. Yeah, and I think that is the pathway forward for Miller. Again, he's just not ready right now. And a lot of times the difference between a first round and a second round pick is pretty substantial for guys that need development because it's an extra year or two of contractual patients from the drafting team. And if you're not going to be in that top 30 or a team doesn't feel comfortable with that right now, you just put yourself in the best position possible to get there next year. Yeah. I mean, you're a second round pick. The timeline is, in my opinion, you get 18 months. You get 18 months to start showing something. You don't have to be a positive player immediately. You don't have to be a positive player even by the time those 18 months roll around by NBA standards, you have to show something. You have to show continued development. And I worry a little bit the Leonard Miller is just probably 12 months out from that 18 month window making sense maybe. If you're like me, then you love watching your favorite shows in.

"And I do want to give credit to Simon rath has a first. I think Jeremy whoo has him second. Like there's people that have Jeremy has them second. Shout out, Jeremy. I think I have them third. I think I'm with you on that one. I'll give you the reason why I think nobody has them. First, it's because he has a difficult combination of a total lack of in between game right now. Mid range game whatsoever. And that's a huge part of generating shots as a lead guard in the NBA. He can be Russell Westbrook and maybe he like honestly like when you watch his tape Purdue, there are Westbrook moments of pure athletic dominance. He just like straight up runs around guys, like someone will be guarding him at the point of attack and it's just like Zoom, I'm gone. Bye. Like in the half court and it's like, how the fuck do you are this guy? But he has a strange combination of no mid range game whatsoever right now. I think he went like 8 for 39 on mid range jumpers this year. His floater. He has like a weird combo jumper push shot kind of thing that he's still working on. It doesn't look great. He needs to work on that. And he has all the athletic tools in the world. He could figure that out at some point. We can talk about the specifics of that whenever Matt and I do the actual scouting report on Jaden when we get closer to the draft. And then the second decision making. So you have this weird combination of know in between game, no great passing ability in terms of making high level reads and decisions off the bounce. And I think that that is what gives him some limitations for people. Like, he gets compared to John morant all the time. Think about what ja had, jaw had the ability to get to that floater game literally whenever he wanted. That was his in between game. Averaged ten assists per game at Murray state and was the best passer in that draft class. Jade navy is the worst password in Paula Ben carro, probably. So yeah, it's good though too. I don't want to discount Paul. Paul is a really good passer. And Paulo is a very, very high level passer for a four, 5 combo guy..

"His legs just like, you never know where his legs are going to land. There's no real consistency there. And like maybe it's fixable, maybe it's not. I don't know. The thing that I really like about Jayden. And I like them a lot. And I actually like them more than I like some of the other top four guys for Detroit particularly. Is if you aid Detroit needs athletes, like they just need dudes that can get up and go. Because their core right now is not filled with like crazy athletes. Or at least they're young core. Like Jeremy grant is a great athlete. Jeremy grant is on one year left on this contract. I don't know how much you can consider him moving forward. The thing with Jaden is that he's the best athlete in the class. He's one of the better athletes of evaluated. Like he's not quite in the John morant, Anthony Edwards class. He is just the step below that. I think he's more functional than homage Diallo. I like that one. Yeah. Look, comedy dude can probably jump higher, but he can't actually get to spots on the court because he doesn't have enough power in balance through his lower half. 100%. Jaden has all of that. And would Jane can do is he's going to run up and sprint. He's going to go. He's going to create transition opportunities in a way that Detroit does not create transition opportunities right now. He's going to help their offense that way. The role that I like Jade and I the best in is playing him next to a great big ball handler. Like a cade Cunningham. Letting cade bend the defense because he's already really good at doing that. Run the primary action through cade. And then hit a guy like Jaden when the defense is bent because Jaden can downhill. He guys, he's so good at getting downhill. He is the best downhill athlete in this class by far. He's one of the better downhill players of evaluated like the last 5 draft classes. Your defense is bent. He is beating your guy to the rim. He's beating the rim protector to the rim every time. You watch his tape. There are moments of him just like running around guys on ball..

All I know is you're vertical didn't might be twice as high as Robbie's 19 and a half inches. That's all. Might even be more than twice as high, rob. Dan, let me tell you, man, if you ever have a bad day of virtual testing, my guys did at the age 32 never tell this idiot right here. So he'll never he'll never let it go. He will never let it go. Hey, your mom wasn't assistant in her name for a long time and the woman's program. And you grew up, I've read rebounding for Skylar diggins and around Juul Lloyd and around Buffett McGraw. How was that experience for you? Being around such high level basketball minds and talent, I'm a set, it was fun. Honestly, it was just fun to be around Skylar and you know just a lot of great talent. And growing up, you don't see, you know, kids like that, you know, being coaches child and, you know, just being around such great talent. And you know, I just grew up in that stage at an early age and, you know, on a beer on honestly, did you feel pressure to get another name at all with your mom and just the fact that you weren't so ingrained with that university? Felt the pressure. I just felt like I was just in a situation where my mom was a coach and you know I just had access. That's really it. I had access to the gym because, you know, my mom was always, you know, working. You know, I just utilized it and, you know, obviously, you know, that's wrong, but that's, you know, that's family, I know a lot of the people I thought university and I didn't really have pressure on going there. It was just, you know, I was just trying to, you know, find myself, you know, because I love the game and it was just, you know, just working hard and trying to eventually maybe didn't start it from them and get this scholarship anywhere. So, you know, I would say it was a lot of pressure to go there, but you know, have to find the right situation at Purdue. And it was that so James why weren't you more heavily recruited? You know, obviously high majors wanted you. But you weren't you weren't a guy that, you know, the blue Bloods were even looking at. Why do you think? I just think it was, I just think, you know, I was overlooked. You know, maybe I wasn't, you know, as high as everybody else in the rankings. But I can tell you I was working probably way harder than, you know, mostly all of them, you know, just from the break that I put in, you know, day in and day out, you know? I felt like I was number one player. And you know, I just, you know, I just stayed down and you know, I just worked hard and I didn't really care about the right kings and the college is not looking around me I knew, you know, I'll find a great team with a great coach and I found I knew that from the day you know coach painter offered me a scholarship that was a place where I really wanted to, you know, take a look at and see, you know, I could see myself playing there and you know, just the situation happened and you know it just all worked out for me and you know the perfect 50. So you call painter a great coach. Yeah. Give me who's the better coach. Painter or your mom. Oh man, that's tough. That's tough. My mom is man. She's obviously giving me a lot of tips on the game. I've started at a young age. I feel like she's helped me with my game. You know, just from her being, you know, and the NBA status. You know, when she was there, I mean, it was nice to see her. I would just she would be watching film and you know, I was right there next to Washington and, you know, she would tell me, you know, a lot of different details in the league and you know, and I feel like, you know, coach trainer, you know, has a lot to offer for me. You know, building my game up and, you know, Modi me as a player, you know, he's helped me in so many different ways. And, you know, he just gave me a lot of tips on how to stay patient. Because I remember last year, I was, and I was up and down. And, you know, he just kept giving me, you know, little remarks like, hey, be patient, like, at times coming and continue to stay in the gym and just little details on the court that really help, you know, build my game up. And you know, obviously, at the end of the year, last year, I feel like I just improved, you know, just playing on the court and just being all around, you know, great teammate and you know, he just helped me in all aspects. So I feel like both of them have helped more of my game. Still didn't answer. You're not answering the question, are you? You gave the good answer, man. He didn't, he went with both. Yes. Department, you know, you don't need to get in trouble with your playing time or whatever. Whatever checks coming your way for your mom. Man, it's playing sounds not going anywhere. Let's be real. That's not in jeopardy, regardless of what James says here. Jada, I think with Purdue fans, it's been a tortured road for the number one ranking. And with duke losing last night, if you guys beat Iowa, you're gonna be the number one team in the country. I know when I was a Purdue, we were the number three team in the country Kansas City Kentucky both lost. So if we were to win a Minnesota and then beat Michigan state, we would have been number one. I ain't gonna blow my knee out against Minnesota. We lost Michigan state and you know that was probably our last good chance that we had to be right number. What have you guys talked about? What it means to be number one or what that would do for this group? So I remember what number one produced. Which is crazy. It is really crazy because there's been some really good.

Just as good in terms of dictating tempo. I think he has a little bit more game to be able to get to his own shot while being just as good of a passer and decision makers, nem hard. If anything, I think he limits turnovers, even more than what nem hart does. Yeah, and like, yeah, I really like Andrew nem hard Gonzaga fans. I'm very sorry about this. You guys have been so great for me. And I definitely look at my mentions regularly. Let me tell you. You said you're off for a while. I think you're back. I'm trying to stay off of it.

I mean, he just was so, so dominant against anything that they presented to him and he did a great job of getting out at tempo and getting out into pace and really playing the game that Gonzaga wanted to. He was the one that won them that game, I thought. But yeah, not quite the number one point card in the country for me. Definitely a top 5 guy. Okay. That's all I've got.

"6 16 in the top 7 and again, we can kind of like split hairs on if these guys are really the lead guards are not but Ben Simmons, Christine, buddy hill, Jamal Murray, then in 2015 we had D'angelo Russell, made a moody a year before Alfred prayed in one tenth. So anyway, just like rifling off those names because I'm looking at it and I'm scrolling through your mock and I'm looking through my notes. And I'm like, I don't know who the guy is. I had, I did the paw with Andrew and Alex the other day and they're like, do you take a job rant could you come up, I'm sorry, not traumatic cheese. Jane ivy could become a point guard in that mold. I said, I don't know, but it's an interesting question because we've talked about it is Tati Washington, the first guard off the board, like I just need a little help here if I'm going as crazy as you are. This is a this is a really good question. I would say that going into the draft. Let's say, you know, I did not necessarily think of Ben Simmons as like a quote unquote point guard even like coming into that class. So let's take him off the board. Take him off. Your body's not a point guard. It was Christ on it was Jamal Murray. Wade Baldwin. Had some steam. Like, to me, a little bit later. Yeah, the 2016 group is the one. Like that, that's the one that's really bad. If you take Ben Simmons off the board. Even 2015, like there was a lot of steam behind D'angelo Russell. There was a lot of steam behind Emmanuel moody as well, like people thought they could be a top 5 pick. So I understand what you're saying. And I think that it's not wrong because then you go down, campaign. I had campaign like in the 20s. Terry Rozier would go 16. I had him in the 20s. Jaron grant, delon Wright, tyus Jones, but like we're getting into like non lottery guards, which is not the crux of your question. Is this the worst? Now I'd say like the handful of guys. Tai Tai Washington, Kennedy Chandler who's talked about JD Davidson, Sean Montero, do you count him? Do you count? I would for what it's worth. I would put Jaden ivy in this conversation. See, if you put you in, I mean, there I think it changes it just a little bit. Not a ton, but doesn't make it as the bottom falls off. Do you count usman dang? Like probably not, but no, he's not a point. He's the they're not even the breakers aren't. A little bit better than it could be. If you include ivy, I still think it's the darkest it's been in 5 years anyway. Yeah, if you don't include ivy, it's definitely a fact. If you include IV, so you definitely don't include Jaden hardy, is like a combo like point shooting car. Ceasefire. Yeah. Yeah, I mean Jayden's firing that thing toward the rim. And it'll go a little bit more of the time. If you're lucky. So the names that I'll consider here to answer this question. I will consider ivy. Because I think that he is going to play point. I mean, we have talked about how much better his distribution skills have gotten. Yeah. I think long term he's going to be a point. Thai Thai Washington. Do we count dice and Daniels who's playing point for the elite right? Legally. Yeah, good point. Sure. Throw them in there. Not so throw them in there. Jean Montero may be Kennedy Chandler, maybe JD Davison, although another guy that I think has been a bit underwhelming..

"But I think you might be right. You might be correct that the league might be more willing to take a risk on some of these guys that are that just have so much in their bag already as a score and can create that way. Even if they are deficient in certain other parts of their game because Jaden hardy right now is not yet like an NBA average passer and distributor and decision maker for what his role will be in the NBA. He's not yet a league average defender for what his role will be in the NBA. So it will see what happens with Jaden hardy. Like I am really excited to see what he looks like in the G league. I would expect points. That'll be points. Yes. There will be blood there will be points. He's at the very least a very strong two level score right now if you can really add some more to his finishing package. Think that would. That would help his case anyway to be in that discussion for the top three to 5 guys. Okay, let's go to Jaden ivy now who's a 6 four guard at perdue. A little bit more athletic in my opinion than what Jaden hardy is more questions on the jumper though. And I don't necessarily know that there are the similar questions as a passer, but it's probably pretty close. Like they're definitely both more on the scoring side of the ledger than the distribution side. Yeah. Sort of still a head scratch for me because he came out late NCAA season and he had that 26 point performance when Purdue was knocked out of the tournament by north Texas. And then he had a good summer. He won a gold medal Team USA U 19 had 16 points in championship game versus France. He was second on the human scoring, named the alternative team, but last year he was a sub 40% shooter from the field, barely 39.9, 26% from three, his form isn't bad. It's pretty compact that he goes straight up and down, but he just needs to shoot it for me to really get on board. I'm not worried about him getting paint touches in us first step. He's pretty dexterous around the rim. He moves from a white mouse well away from the ball. It's how much of a jump is his shooting going to take. Is it going to be a 34% shooter? We're going to try to sell ourselves if he's still around that 30%. What's it really going to take? So this is where I think having the knowledge of his high school numbers is important because Jade and ivy was a consistent 40% three point shooter in high school..

"We'll stop in the bundesliga. We thought no leipzig get thrown away. The opportunity to keep pushing by munich. There were two knelt down halftime against borussia moenchengladbach but a brilliant second half performance and a late goal from soil with see them beat god back by three goals to to to continue to put the pressure on bind at the top of the table. Janocko fuel itself is with us yet. Thank goodness we still have a title race. Just thank goodness to halftime. There was so many analyzes marker also sorting out gladbach. There will be calm now before he takes over. And then livesey made the bundesliga excited for two minutes with the irony at halftime. But thank god. Thank god for everybody. Neutral love love the bundesliga. There was fantastic. Second half of our show and they slowly came back. Glad back more tired had some chances on contracts but policy and kuku and solo there so many attackers. It's lives. You haven't score enough goals after chicken and van left them after last season but they produce tonight and we haven't excitement we have. We have a tight race in germany. Dan could you imagine. Say those words. I know i don't know very much unlikely. After the to say bad in the first half. Yeah yeah their web bad but but say having said that. I mean they had a ball the lot. They didn't create a lot gluck. Unbelievable efficient mcconnell had one of those half where look like the most clumps defender being around after being the most attractive defender around and toronto and half on peres demanded to nil and everything look like well typical vion after their gala show earlier on the day and now we have this situation fribourg against lives on friday if they win that top of the league at least for twenty four hours then the big game between via munich endorsements says you mentioned yance still two point separates vine and live sick. Let's switch attention to that wind show for buying a day. They were certainly facts that the way this game ended you. They could just keep scoring. Every few minutes on the will keep on scoring. I mean live on dose keno. Getting closer to that magic gaffe miller torty goals in a season scoring two goals today but there was a whole wasn't ed when they played their home three three losing in frankfurt against eintracht. And then they're back to the norm. Winning high in champions league winning five one against cologne. it's not like five or six goals better than them on the page but they just so efficient gerrad sky. Think a ended up with three assists. Today nabu just scoring for fun. Uneven ship matang scoring so i mean by will be all the way of the understatement of the nights at just into content main if levin dusky reaches at forty gaumont. It's unbelievable because then you compare yourself with the best goal Of all time and yes you could say the by a munich was fantastic. But you can say the same about this team. I mean we are talking about whole on emba- pay silva or were all these goalscoring sensations around europe the moment but levin dose gays to complete striker but the the goal getter part of his game is unbelievable to he's hungry and passionate for goals is unbelievable and you saw the way to the goals. Today you had a you finally got. Thomas miller on to fourteen seconds to make an assist for him. I just turned around. He knows all the time where where he is on the full patriots and if he beats the record i still doubted but he's getting closer meanwhile bruce feldman turning on in the second half in proved to be a comfortable win in the end. I'll tell you what twenty twenty one jaden sanitary. It's very different than twenty. Two thousand nine hundred and sounds like christmas press the reset. Button is incredible. Twenty twenty cents show. At least the half of it was very influenced with all that happened around us some monsters united being on the phone all the time. Hundred and twenty million hundred million europe but now he's on fire and the way he's playing at the moment he's playing with all his strength all the passionate he's running all the time he's body. Language is turn like hundred and eighty degrees unbelievable. I also today. I a writer who scored that goal. And i think that that sums up the way dole put his playing at the moment ailing all on. I'm not sorry. Putting in northern region after solo scored for for leipzig later tonight. But but then allen all on one against one against goalkeeper typically get up. We'll try himself. Just give it the ball away. And i think that sums up that door at the moment. They won three games in a row. Intense being under pressure as being a lame duck after the appointment of mark but they are back on track another only three points behind eintracht frankfurt for that very very valuable champions league place for they make it. Yeah yes. I think they will. Because i don't think well eleven games eintracht frankfurt had and with no losses i winston role. Then losing it to to bremen and as long as they can keep on winning these kind of games which has been difficult for them. They're lower teams like being felt today. They will keep on doing it but mind you next game. It's frankfurt against got. That could be a frankford. Win on there and Munich and then we can have that six points again. Because volts berg are winning games just like behind everybody under the radar of everybody of body so they could end up taking place in the bundesliga

A Telsa Model S Refresh?
"You've been telling me about why. I think there's going to be a model as an ex refresh. Yeah and there was like it was really hard to test drive them. There were like upping the sales out of everything they were. You couldn't see them in showrooms anymore night. This big list of rumors as to why we thought it might happen and then like an hour ago. It just all unveiled so well. So there's a there's a lead up to it the the model s. design is it's like ten plus years old at this point like fundamentally. The design of the car is unchanged since the beginning rate. So there's one small outside refresh her where the front grill nose cone. that was an exterior. Like look change. Is that what you call a nosecone nosecone. Yeah i've always just called at the grill. But obviously it's not. It isn't enact plastic nosecone two more metal okay but The autopilot versions changed. But really fundamentally the inside has always been that vertical screen and it's always been the same doors. Same door handles same shape so they've never really changed the model s. in car years. That's a long time let alone tech years that's forever. Yeah so. The rumors have been building for a long time. And we kind of were like. I think that this earnings call on wednesday were according to one night. Just say you know yeah have plans to possibly make video about all this. But we're recording on wednesday night and during the earnings call. They update the site. They give the over all the stuff and dropped a new model lesson ex and yet it's something is there's a lot to it. I guess we'll just. I'm just going to go down the list. This obviously isn't a video podcast yet. But i do have a lot to say about the aesthetics and the things that they've changed right. Yeah maybe i'll use this template as like a guide for the video. What i make it. We'll see i almost debated telling you throw camera up here and just take the clips out and turn it into the youtube video also. Yeah so right off. The bat outside changes are pretty small. They turned all the chrome black kind of like they did with model three and model. I every single car company do that. Please stop with the chrome. I think toyota has been doing it. A bunch with just maybe not even like their door handles and window trim but they've been doing it with their emblems and like the wording and names on the back and they looked so good on every single caller romo terrible. Please stop. Yeah feel old. Basically starting to feel a little bit outdated so it's gone from the car. I think maybe just the logo the last chrome piece. but that's that's pretty sweet and then There's a little bit of a different shape up front a little bit of a more simple grill at the bottom. For the front splitter and different fog i think i read people were saying it looks like the air like in vents are a little bigger probably to help battery cooling yup the better battery performance and i think that leads us beautifully into the new specs before i talk about the interior. So it's just going to be three models model s. and i'm going to focus on model s even a model x. Got this refresh it. Basically doesn't exist tesla like they still make it kind of because they have to nightmare. Yeah there's not a lot of attention around the x this is about the s. I'm just talking about this. Yeah i'm just trying to think of. Who's the i feel like the x. Still gets a lot like in the blogger community. A couple david dobric jake paul logo on it. There's jailers very her. Jalen smith jr jada jason. What's his son's name. Now you've got me thinking. Smith i don jaden has one. There's some there's small market for the ex. Yeah but the model s. is where it's at so there's really just three versions now. And by the way. I'm gonna say overarching for this. Whole thing is simplicity. Dustless manufacturing simplifying line vehicles. So there's three there's a long range model s a plaid model s and a plaid plus model s. so model s long range has four hundred twelve mile range zero to sixteen three point one seconds dual motors and it's. It's a pretty standard. Look that's like what probably most people getting a model less would get then. The performance version is your plaid model s. which goes directly to triple motors. It drops a little bit range three hundred ninety miles but it goes two hundred mile an hour. Top speed and zero to sixty in one point nine nine seconds. I'm gonna say that one more time just in case you didn't hear it this. Several thousand pound four door family car. Hatchback does zero to sixty in one point. Nine nine seconds like you need to like take a an advanced driver's test in order to get something that can go under two seconds to pilot this thing. Yeah yeah every time. I think about like performance cars on the street. I'm like i icy regular people driving cars poorly all the time and i just get a little bit worried about giving them that much power. There's a whole youtube rabbit hole of great like mustang arm beats of people just like wrecking it into the median pulling out yet i mean i guess the good thing is this is all wheel. Drive is the safest car on the world. This is a car that's tries really hard not to crash itself but yeah lot power here but just so you know that's starting at one hundred twelve thousand nine ninety which has ten thousand more than the previous model and then plaid plus is eleven hundred horsepower versus that one thousand twenty of plaid zero to sixty. There are a little more vague with this under one point nine nine seconds. So it'll be faster. We don't know how much faster it's still trip promoters. And it'll do the quarter mile in less than nine seconds which would make it. The quickest zero to sixty and the quickest quarter-mile acceleration in any production car. Ever and again. this is not yet the roadster. This is just a speck. Yeah but the most interesting spec to me of plaid plus is it still triple motor. There's new battery info but it goes five hundred twenty plus miles on a charge. So what was the long range again. Four sixty long-range was four. Twelve for twelve plaid was down to three ninety and then plaid plus was five twenty so this leads me to believe that. Plaid plus is a different battery technology. Do you think it's the one. Because that's sounds around the specs of the roadster was supposed to have right exactly roadsters. Got us six twenty plus quoted mile range and on top of that. This is the one other thing that's really interesting. I'll just touch on the x for a second. I don't think this is happening the x. Because if you go to the model x. site you can see you have the long range version which has a three hundred sixty mile range and the plaid version which has a three hundred forty mile range. So there's no plaid. Plus so whatever's happening with plaid. Plus is i guess this ultra high end security premium powertrain and battery system that only the high end model s. And i guess eventually roadster star gonna get it. Sounds like it's just a roadster with a model spotty it's a four door roadster four door to door. Yeah no it's it's a it's a crazy it's crazy car i. I'm prefacing all this with like. I don't need it. I'm not gonna get it. I'm gonna wait till the roadster but also this is absolutely insane. What they've done now really. The the most important part is the inside of the car that they've updated so like i said simplicity's sake finally switched to the horizontal touchscreen inside which i think looks pretty good. It's like a little more well integrated with the car doesn't stick out as much as three. Yeah i think what i like. I like that. But i liked that. They kept the screen in front of you. Like a regular odometer like they have in the model s. already because like three and y. I'm fine with that screen. There i only thing is. It's a little weird that you have to look over seer odometer but the fact that you have a better spot there and you still have your regular like driving odometer with a high acid and speaking of that steering wheel hobo this is this is the interesting went and i think this is where a lot of people are polarized because this interior looks very similar minus steering wheel if you look on their site. It's a yoke style steering wheel and it's almost kinda squared off. So it's like the bottom half of a square steering wheel and then there's a bunch of buttons on the steering wheel itself and there are no blinker stocks. No windshield wiper stocks. Nothing behind the wheel. No paddles no nothing yeah. Let's paint a picture here though. Because i've never heard the term yoke style and i only understand it because i saw the picture right before so picture fighter jet handles like that. Yoke style top trying to top office doing rectangle and doesn't have a top part. So yeah i'm just like i was just trying to think about using it. In general it seems so cool for like straight line in like minor turns on a highway but exactly turning around in a parking lot or like a tight driveway or something seems miserable on it. Yeah i this is one of those things where i'm imagining it and i'm imagining it really poorly and i think i'm just going to have to try it because as of right now i don't even think this is legal to ship yet. I think you technically have to have enclosed steering wheel and then people earliest you have to ship it with one and the people can modify it later. I think that's technically the rule here in the us. I don't know the rules internationally. But i've never seen a car actually ship with a yoke steering wheel before so again. This is all tb will see it happens. But i think i'm going to have to give it a shot because it's really weird.

Willow Smith Calls Out Jada's Parenting Style
"Are you running for some daily pop? Cuz we've got some Smith family drama for you today. Willow is coming after her met her mother questioning her parenting skills at her own red cable. Are you kidding me? This is Jaden was harder on her than on her brother Jaden during a new episode of red table. Talk on Facebook watch Willow shares just how differently they were treated great up. There is a difference between how black moms will treat their daughters and their son. Oh, oh my goodness, right? Let's go back through is true something as simple as just like getting up at the right time. It would be like you might like to maybe like, oh no school school is about to be you better get dressed. We need to get it would be like wage in my room like, okay got it. But then Jane is actually like nothing listed. Are you ready to and he'd be like, maybe one moment off? Thank you. She is asking for a debt said it's right there honey you to me where you have a black bar? But you don't question her parenting in front of everybody. I do think Jade is one of those people that's very open communication. Tell me how you feel kind of mother one hundred percent. But I also think in black families and I will save this growing up in a big family and the hood a lot of times moms and parents are harder on girls because there's this thing ingrained in your head that if something happens with your daughter your daughter gets pregnant or becomes a birth mother. It's a direct reflection on you. So a lot of times like people don't even care about the father they like, oh near that boy knocked her up, but the mother there's a lot of shame that goes on the parents and growing up my mother never talked to me about the birds and the bees at all. My sister got schooled in it from the time. She was thirteen years old and it's weird that that's how it works like, yep. Just saw this whole thing happened with t i, yeah and how crazy everybody was like, oh my God. This is so insane. Meanwhile, I'm like, oh that happens. All those on you know, I think has a lot to do with also on the Note just you know, as a mother myself. I feel like for a woman you have to be very strong. Like I wanted to be so secure in her self-confidence seems to be like the most important thing you can instill in my daughter and being confident means like you get up you show up on time. You work hard you put in your best and you feel good about it. And so like I can see that and it's so funny that example because literally off hook up Chase from a nap the other day, he's to mind you and I said Chase are you awake? You ready to go? Five more minutes mom and I was like, okay honey UT five more minutes. You need a rest. I don't know if it's just a little boy, but it was just a funny example. I'm like, this is already a happening in my life. And there are only two right I feel like mothers and suck. So that Dynamic is very unique. Like I definitely think that women and parents think that they can be harder on girls because I feel like they think girls can handle it. I feel like with boys. I feel like a mom. I see it with my own mom and my own old dog, like he has always been regardless of what drama or what he's had to go through. He's always sort of Taken extra good care of him. I just feel like if it's a boy and you're a mom you just have an extra soft spot regardless of race or anything like that. I just think moms and sons have a different Bond. It's like dads and daughters. I feel like whatever child you have. That's the opposite gender of you. You are a little bit softer towards I can see that I totally can totally stay. I think the dynamic is now shifting I think with the world shifting and now, you know having to have harder conversations with boys at younger ages kind of the same ones you kind of have a girl about consent and about sex and all of those things. I feel like with everybody being mindful of this patriarchy Society. I think that's going to flip and it's going to change a little bit. Yeah. Yep. Think yeah, I hope I mean I still feel like just because of how I'm positioned. I'm like I already feel like I have to be like, you know, you you fight for what you deserve you are equal to your counterparts, you know, I feel like that stuff you have to like push into daughter still because if you don't if they don't think that going growing up then they accept less than and that's where I feel like we've gotten to the point where we got to where women, you know, they were traditionally taught that it's okay. If a man makes more, you know, if and then finally now we're getting to the other side of that and we just have to keep that momentum going like we're equal. We're all very equal talk to your son and your daughter the same way is what I guess. It's still to me and Society like I'm going to still push up for Chase, but I feel like it's almost a given still for a man to get equal. I mean, I'm still like given like he's going to get it cuz he's got that leg up because he's going to be a man. Yeah and the woman I have to be like make sure you get your your peace Honey Pig. To caution her you have to prepare her for that reality because men don't face that as much which is the problem. I mean, even in our own lives and our own circumstances, we know people that are of different genders and might make more than us or do more than us, but they don't work as much as we do, that's happening right now. So it's just one of those things you just constantly have to be aware of I
