Rep. Dan Bishop Lays Out GOP Strategy for the Debt Ceiling Battle
"Bishop, welcome to the program. Thanks, Charlie, good to be with you again. Congressman bishop, for those of us including myself, who are not totally caught up to speed on the debt ceiling. Just walk us, we have some time. So walk us, what is the debt ceiling? And what is the debate surrounding it? And then we'll get further into the details. So by law for many, many years, there's been Congress can spend more money in appropriations bills, but to the extent the federal government's entire borrowings need to increase because there's no more room, there's a debt ceiling and Congress and the United States government can not incur more indebtedness unless Congress lifts that debt ceiling. So a conservative, as we've seen debt, okay, I think we lost congressman. We're going to try to reconnect there. As and so effectively, you have to raise the debt ceiling by law by statute. But sometimes the budget bills are disconnected from the debt ceiling increase. Congressman, do we have you back? Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Charlie, I don't know what happened. But please continue. Yeah, so this is we're hitting one of those points in time and of course what Joe Biden wants to do with the Democrats having spent multiple trillions of dollars without any Republican votes is we're up against the new limit and they want us to pass what they call a clean debt ceiling increase. We would just say, oh, okay. You can spend another two or $3 trillion more than in debt or incur that additional debt in order to feed the spending frenzy in Washington. Well, a new share in town. This majority of 218, particularly given the work we did in January to lay down some principles that we were going to adhere to before we elected the speaker, we're not going to pass any clean debt ceilings in the house. And so what we've been working on here is to get a proposal passed on the floor of the House and the leadership calls at the limit save and grow act and that has come together. We've been working on it insistently. It is a very complicated process of getting 218 members to be prepared to support it. And we wanted it, we insisted that it be robust.

Nigel Farage on France's Strengthening Relationship With China
"Really want to dive into though an element of this. Macron and G that are creating this new cozy relationship. You know, if you talk to the neoliberals that run the American regime, one of the arguments they'll make is that look, we need to do this war in Ukraine. We need to keep on pumping money because we have to keep our European partners close to our interests. It's a bad argument, but on the surface it seems if it makes sense. However, that's not even true. We're now seeing France. No. We're now seeing France, which is supposed to be one of our closest allies that is supposed to be in alignment with all these neoliberal ideas, cozy up to the CCP. Tell us about it. I think historically, the American link with some European countries has been a very, very important bulwark for democracy. Against both fascism and communism. But it's never been true, of course, of all European countries. Macron's visit to Beijing was totally astonishing. Rather than saying, do not do not one moment consider territorial ambitions with Taiwan, what macro basically said is, look, you know what? You invade Taiwan. We're effectively going to do nothing. And that casts massive doubt on French membership of NATO, quite frankly. I mean, because if we don't have any commonality of goals, then frankly, what's the future of it? So you've got a fracturing going on at two levels. One, the military structure that's been there since the late 1940s of naysayers now has one of its major players taking a very different policy position to that that we've taken a new take and over China and Taiwan. So that's going on and at the same time, you've got America's role as a global leader cast into serious doubt, not just I would emphasize because of Chinese diplomatic activity important though that is. But also, also, you know, after Afghanistan, after the fall of Kabul, after giving the Taliban $85 billion worth of top class American military equipment, there is also a question about can we trust America?

Nigel Farage Warns About America's Weakening Global Position
"Implications of us losing the dollar as the world reserve currency? The dollar has been the world reserve currency for a very, very long time. And virtually every commodity is priced in dollars. Whether it's oil, whether it's coal, where everything that's traded around the world, the dollar is the currency through which those transactions are conducted. And it's because of that, that America has managed to keep its place as the leader of the free world. Money matters. Also, because it's been medulla, it's given stability, because America has been, doesn't feel like it sometimes, but compared to many others, has been a stable country. Now, 20 years ago, the Euro was launched, and the ambition of the European Union was to replace the dollar with the Euro as a reserve currency. That was a Walter mitty dream. It never came to anything. What is happening right now is something very, very different. The Chinese are on the most astonishing international diplomatic mission. It's barely being noticed by western world media, but they are busy. They're busy with president Lula in Brazil. They've even managed in the last month to get the Saudis and Iranians together around a table. And what China is basically saying to these countries is look, we're going to help you with money with all sorts of things. And yes, we want to buy your coffee from Brazil and, you know, yes, we want to buy oil from the Middle East. We want to do all these things, but we want to do it priced in one. And it looks like it looks like they're achieving a pretty high degree of success. So if China becomes effectively a direct global rival to the dollar, this puts them a long way to becoming the world's global superpower. Now,

Nigel Gardiner Weighs in on Biden's Removal of Churchill Bust
"Joining me right now for more on Biden's overseas trip and importantly on this old coronation event and how this thing is going down because the scuttle is Meghan Markle's not going to go. I'm sure the royals are gravely disappointed over that one. Anyway, joining me right now, Niall Gardner. So Obama took down the Churchill bust. I remember that. That was like a big international incident. And then that's something that Trump put back, and then this is getting kind of repetitive. It's like revolving door, with Churchill there. And then Biden comes into office he takes it down again. What kind of effect does that have on the British people and the British government? Well, I think it sends a very insulting message to the British people after all Churchill is a greatly loved figure in the UK is also very much loved in the United States as well. So it sounds completely the wrong signal, a very negative message. And that was day one of the Biden presidency. So an incredibly bad move by Biden sneering arrogant and hugely dismissive, of course, towards America's closest friend and ally. Understandable. So we're now in a situation where Joe Biden has made it clear. He doesn't really value the UK, his historic ally, over say France, or Germany, it kind of reminds me of what's going on with Saudi Arabia. Is that a fair comparison in any way? I think that Biden's treatment of Israel has been also very dismissive actually. And Israel and the UK are incredibly important allies for the United States and Biden has treated both with real contempt just as Obama did before him. And I would say that Biden is alienating America's closest friends and allies on the international stage. It's an extremely destructive path forward.

Mike Benz and Sebastian Discuss a Seminal Moment in 2015
"Talk about this seminal moment Mike. This switch where everything turned inwards in 2015 or 2016. So I'll just out boulder eyes what you said and then I want you to fill in the colors to give us the flesh on the bone. So there's this thing that you talk about the foreign policy establishment that is bipartisan. It's kind of the uni party is bad and would call it. And they had a mission over years and perhaps decades working hand in glove with Soros foundations, the open society, the Ford foundation, Ned and others, where they were fighting for quote unquote democracy abroad, which meant targeting populists, the likes of Orban, the likes of probably Modi, they probably hated Modi, Nigel Farage, and so on. And then talk to us about that, what the foreign policy amoeba is, and then explained what they decided to do in 2015 and why. Right. So there was a saying in this country for a long time. I'm sure it still said, I just haven't heard it in a while. But that's that politics stops at the water's edge. This idea that Americans may have our disagreements about domestic policy, but when we look across the Atlantic or the Pacific, politics ends at home, we're always united on foreign policy. The so called Washington consensus on foreign policy that effectively existed from Truman until Trump. And more than just the unity on foreign policy, the other thing that phrase delineated was, if you're abroad, if you're the president, the Secretary of State or the defense minister, you don't slag off and criticize your opposition party at home. If you're a Republican in London, you don't say bad things about the Democrats that are domestic politics and likewise, if you're a Democrat president, you don't do that about Republicans. And to greater or lesser extent until recently, was in fact adhered to. Right. Right, now that's exactly right. You know, we are a world empire. We've been a world empire since 1898, essentially at the end of the Spanish-American War. The high standard of living that we have is partially a function of America creating much of the world in our image, so to speak, through our diplomatic and soft power influence projection during the 20th century.

Nigel Farage on Why Liz Truss Was the Victim of a 'Globalist Coup'
"Nigel Farage joins us right now. Nigel, welcome back to the program for our American listeners. Can you offer some clarity about what the heck is going on in your beautiful sister country across the pond? An astonishing four months, Boris Johnson, the elected prime minister goes because, frankly, he wasn't truthful with the British public about many things. And elected as a conservative, he rather governed as a liberal, and people got upset. Then the queen dies. You know, she'd been there for 70 years. That was very destabilizing. We then got a new prime minister who attempted to introduce conservative philosophy. She wanted to reduce the size of a state and cut taxation. And the world went to war against her. The International Monetary Fund spoke about our mini budget in a way they'd never spoken about any country ever before. The American administration piled in. The German Chancellor piled in, and in the end, you might argue that some of their tax cuts weren't very well thought through, but we have been through in the course of the last two weeks. Nothing less than a globalist coup, we get a mangled Jeremy hum, out of left field, becomes Chancellor of the exchequer, and now we have a new prime minister. He's taken over today, our third and 7 weeks, but the name of Richie sunac, I can pronounce it, even if Joe Biden can't. And he of course is our first former Goldman Sachs prime minister. He's a globalist. He's a supporter of Central Bank, digital currencies. He's barely conservative at all. And it all goes to show that the British Conservative Party isn't conservative at all. And we have a real problem on our hands.

If New York Is in Play, Anything Is Possible!
"A lot of New Yorkers that listen to this program are going to email us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com and they say Charlie, how could you possibly be so naive to believe that Eric Adams is actually was actually going to be someone that was going to be strong on crime and a good governor. Well, I thought that actually someone that was a police officer actually might have been a good governor. He is almost no different than Bill de Blasio. The state of the city of New York is falling apart. But there is a growing sense. Of repudiation. For Democrats all across the state of New York, Lee zeldin has run a great campaign. People thought he had no chance throughout June, July and August. And as we look at the broader national picture, let me tell you this. If New York is in play, anything is possible. If the organ governor's race is in play, anything is possible, recent polling shows that the New Mexico governor's race with Ron Shetty is in play. We are seeing candidates. We are now seeing a potentially competitive Connecticut Senate race. So this is and people say, I don't trust the polls. I agree. I think some polls are suppression polls. But when you start to see national trends and otherwise very blue states, where Republicans are having a fighting chance, you're about to see something that we've never seen before. Does that mean we have to be cocky or confident? No. I heard someone say on Bannon show and I love this, which is there is no citizenship on the couch. You got to be in the arena. You got to be knocking on doors. You got to be doing things that are substantive. That are actually moving the dial in the correct direction. But in the state of New York, we're seeing this massive realignment. In a state where Democrats then just take for granted, they consider it to be their most reliable state. And it really does beg the question. Is chuck you Schumer potentially in danger?

Could the Deep Blue Empire State Become a Republican Pick Up?
"Cathy holker is in the fight of her political life, the incumbent Democrat governor against a terrific man Lee zelden. Lee zeldin, who is focused on crime. He's focused on immigration. He's focused on fairness. Lee zeldin has also said he's going to oppose the COVID vaccine mandate? Look, we are seeing all across the state of New York. People rise up and now Kathy hochul is admitting she's in a very tight race. In fact, The New York Times says that Kathy hochul is on shaky ground. There are polls out that show Lee zeldin the Republican challenger in the state of New York. Has now taken the lead. Let's go to this cut here. Cut 39. Stories like this, Jesse watters reporting creates dissension, anger, frustration amongst even Democrats in the state of New York, New York has gone so radically liberal. That there's still fight left in the Empire State. Play cut 39. We got an inside look at New York's most exclusive hotspot, and it looks nicer than any of my staff's apartments. There's fresh popcorn. With the movie butter, of course, there's even a brand new foosball table. All the culturally appropriate games, federal funding can buy. And on top of it all, a huge game room that looks more like a Vegas sports book, giant TVs, cozy couch is xboxes, free meals, dry cleaning service, you name it, they have it. So what is that for? What is that four seasons esque set up for? Border jumping illegals that came into our country and broke our laws while New Yorkers can barely afford rent. If you break the law as a foreigner in America, you get treated better than the American. Remember, tyrants always give a preference to the foreigner to the person that doesn't have a connection to the land. They're easier to pander to.

Charlie Reflects on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Wise Warning
"At in this moment right now is a fulfillment of the warning that Dwight D. Eisenhower gave us in his farewell address. Many of you know it as the military industrial complex address. Now remember, Dwight D. Eisenhower's never politician before he came president. He was a 5 star general. He was supreme commander of the allied forces, he was a total American hero. And at the end of his life, he was like, what are you going to do, kill me? I'm going to warn people what's coming next. We didn't listen to his warning, but we should today play cut 46. Yet in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should. We must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite. Is the task of statesmanship to mold to balance and to integrate these and other forces new and old. Within the principles of our democratic system, ever aiming towards the supreme goals of our free society. Then we need a president like that right now. I want to read what he said that we need to have an equal fear. Of an unelected scientific elite, corrupting public policy. That's exactly what's happening with the great reset.

Charlie Warns Americans About the Crumbling Liberal World Order
"And the liberal world order is now on trial because it turns out that most people don't want to suffer to try to accomplish some academic ideal. Most people don't want to have to go into debt to pay for groceries or to get a tank of gas, which costs a 130 140 $150 here in Scottsdale to get a full tank of gas. No steel that want to live through that. Most people think it's absolutely insane because Brian deese gets paid no matter what. Brian deese or Joe Biden, they're going to be powerful and rich regardless of what happens, but you won't. The middle class has always been the target of the globalists. The left used to purport to be the representation of the middle class. And I don't care about it. All the left cares about right now is pandering to the permanently government addicted and the top one to 2%. That's their constituency. The opportunity, though, obviously, parallels what is happening in Europe. Rising up and pushing back against this displacing them from power.

What Is the Liberal World Order?
"What is the liberal world order? Liberal world order is a goal. It's a destination. It's a journey that our elites want us to go on. You see, the liberal world order is a society where there is one currency. There is no cash. The family is nothing more than a destroyed construct. Looks very similar to Huxley's Brave New World. The liberal world order is a place where the promise of the American constitution is obliterated where the many do not rule the few, but the few rule the many.

How Should Boris Johnson Crack Down on Russia? Nigel Farage Tells Us
"So Nigel, let me ask you, we have four minutes to go through this. I'll tell you really quickly. I am personally wore weary and I'm worried about escalation with a potential nuclear power. With that being said, I sympathize with a lot of what you said, I could see this getting out of control. How do we navigate this? What should the course of action be? What should Boris Johnson do right now? What should Joe Biden do specifically, as we see what's happening in Ukraine? Let's make sure that the sanctions are genuinely watertight. And one of the problems is, our woke culture has taken us towards green new deals. It's taken us towards trying to achieve net zero. And it's meant we've stopped producing as much gas and oil and electricity. We've stopped being independent when it comes to energy and that's why of course we spend. Get out between America and the UK and Europe, they get about a $1 billion a day for their oil and gas. So number one, cut off supply, make ourselves more self sufficient. Cut them out completely of the banking system. Apple, who I rarely praise, will stop setting their products in Russia. Number one, make the economic noose as tight as possible to try to get Russia to turn against him from within. And secondly, and I like you. I'm war weary. We've done too much of it for too long, but this is actually different. This is really very serious. We have to stand together under American leadership. The British will be right by your side, but it must be American leadership. We have to say, if NATO members are attacked, we will act and when we say it, Putin has to think that we mean it. And this is the problem. When Trump was there in The White House, there were no Russian incursions. We had Russian incursions under Obama. We had Russian incursions under Clinton. We've got Russian incursions under Biden. Under Trump, Russia did not move into any fresh territory. Do you know why? Because they actually thought this guy is a serious guy who punishes if we do. So we've got to get tougher. We've got to get real. But the west must stand

He put the headline on which was springsteen on broadway worth every penny. Oh i love it out says genius you know. It wasn't cheap so so but it was absolutely worth every penny now. I guess it's a little cheaper flying from naples york than edinburgh new york so you at least say the little bit on airfare right yes you're already.

"My name is Nigel. Jason hammers right over there. Hope everybody had an awesome Labor day weekend. And that's what I really want to talk about this second. I hate starting out segments like this. I wanna talk about Labor Day and the awesome college football that we saw so much to be positive about. But the violence in Indy Over Labor Day weekend specifically on Labor Day Hammer, six killed in a 24 hour span from Sunday into Monday. Unbelievable and at one points on Monday on Labor Day you had four shootings. Four deaths in four hours in just four hours now is to put this in perspective. When you look at that 24 hour stretch Indianapolis beat Chicago and I'm not just talking about per capita I'm talking about overall totals the actual number right that Sunday into Labor Day that 24 hour stretch Indianapolis had more Shooting deaths than Chicago did. There was a 17 year old. Who was shot and killed while playing ball with his younger brother, and this was four o'clock in the afternoon near East Ohio Street in North Randolph Street. Two brothers out there, just playing ball. And one of them gets shot and killed. There was a fatal shooting. That happened not too far from where we are right now. Here in downtown, this was at the intersection of Washington and Davidson Street. That's in the middle of day, wasn't it? Both of these 3 30 in the afternoon and the brothers the fatal shooting there was at 4 15 in the afternoon. So we're not talking about two o'clock in the morning or something like that. We've all heard that expression. Nothing good happens. You know, after midnight or after two o'clock in the morning. This is the middle of the afternoon on Labor Day. So that I mean, look, you have certain people in the media in this city that will accuse guys like us in this radio station of perpetuating the myth that India's a violent wars own. You know, look at me and drinking a beer on massive at two o'clock on a Saturday and nothing's going on. Oh, boy. Yeah, Look at me. I'm walking down the canal with three o'clock in the afternoon on a Sunday and it seems peaceful. What are these fear merchants talking about? Well, this is what I'm talking about. Right here because it's not just, you know, that's widen your perspective. If you think that because it is just I mean, we're on track again. Like you said, to reach 275 murders By the end of the year, possibly more. I'd take the over on that one. That's unbelievable When you consider what the city's homicide total used to be. Not that long ago, there was a time again. I'm not talking about 30 years ago or 40 years ago around 2000 and 12, where if the homicide total got above 100? That was just devastated. That was unacceptable. And here we are. We're going to be pushing 300 by the end of this year. And you hear guys like Reverend Charles Harrison, often 10 Point coalition, he was on with Abdul, who was filling it with for Tony this morning talking about again the revolving door, the criminal justice system. All these hardcore felons. That are repeat offenders getting out on cheap bonds. Or maybe the prosecutor isn't doing his job. I mean, this is all things. These are all things that we can change from voting out the City County Council to voting out the prosecutor. You are going to have that Marion County residents especially going to have to do Uh, take some action at the voting both When we spoke to Abdul on Friday, he did a lot of polling about some folks in Marion County. And to me this kind of sums up where Marion County is right now, according to the polling data that Abdul's company did. People are concerned about the crime. But they don't necessarily blame anybody for it in the city. Well, if you're concerned about the crime You start with the top. You go toward the mayor. But also you have to look at the prosecutor and you have to look at some of these judges when we go vote and we've talked about this before night. Usually nobody does any research on judges, right? We're all ask that one question on our ballot should judge so and so be reinstated. Unless I've heard of a major scandal. I admit, I probably put yes. To reinstate the judge. But now you have to do some homework going to have to do some homework here because there are too many repeat felons out there because of these judges. Look, I'm going to be the first to say I will applaud Boss, Hogg said. For putting a bunch of money in the budget for I m P. D. Credit where credit is due. There's also, uh you know, we're able to use that those federal funds for covid to help in the community as well. But that's that's not going to last, and it seems like we've been throwing money. At this problem for a long, long time when there's other sections that we talk about other, um, again with, you know, letting criminals out hardcore felons repeat offenders on these low bonds that get arrested as only to go out and commit the same crime again, and it affects Disproportionately the African American community, which is equally as tragic and sad, and we've established this a long time ago. But you're a much nicer person than I am. I'm not giving boss Hogg said. Any credit because this is something that should have been done long ago. The only reason it's being pushed out there now is there's some chatter that he may run for mayor again. Because surprise surprise. The Biden administration didn't pick this goon up to be part of the squad. Think about that for a second. How bad do you have to be that the Biden administration isn't picking you up to make you part of some sort of cabinet position? So, yes, I get it. I'm happy that he put that stuff in the budget. But we've been calling for this asking for this begging for this for a long time now. Only now is he trying to address what's going on? Some other news here. There are some documents that have been obtained. About Dr Fauci and his relationship with that lab in Wuhan. Oh, yeah, We didn't Buzzfeed first kind of broke the story about some emails. Through the freedom of Information Act that came out and now this is something different, though Yes, the intercepts has obtained more than 900 pages of documents. Laying out the work and the correspondence that Dr Fauci has had along with the NIH with that lab in Wuhan. Now, Dr Fauci from Day one, has adamantly denied The NIH funded gain of function. Research in Wuhan. Right gain of function is just it's a scientist tinkering with the virus to make it more lethal. And these newly released documents show that not only did the United States and the NIH fund that Dr Fauci may have been in some Cover your backside mode here, tweeting. I'm sorry. Emailing it about two o'clock in the morning. Frantic meetings because he knew his but was going to be on the line Here. You look at. I mean the big bombshell from the Buzzfeed article a few months ago. You know, you look into all this stuff. Is that the head of the Eco Health Alliance, Peter Dacic, You're gonna hear that name and he equal health alliance in this controversy. Thank Fauci in those emails, for quote, dispelling the myths around the covid origins and blamed Fox. News again. Dacic was the guy that sent that email He ran the firm, the Eco Alliance that took grant money from Fauci and gave it to the Wuhan lab for those virus experiments, and this is again backing up with those emails that were released a couple of years ago, say If I told you there's going to be a United States Senator that's going to be the first one to talk about this report. Who do you think it would be? Well, probably Rand Paul because everybody was lambasting Rand. Paul when these articles came when these emails came out, and he grilled Fauci about the NIH funding, gain of function research, and everybody was Saying Rand Paul is this conspiracy theory wrist? He is just biased. He is a partisan. He doesn't like Fauci. You know what a conspiracy these He's an Alex Jones in the Senate. Speaking on Fox earlier today, Senator Rand Paul know what I think the reasoning behind him being so resistance so livid and so full of at Harmon,.

"Have physics all the time here on mindscape but we don't really do condensed matter that much. It's not my personal area. And i really don't want to neglect it. So why not start at the top. Nigel is an amazingly prolific and influential condensed matter physicist. Who works in lots of different areas but the number of ideas that are going to get discussed in this podcast and the way in which they fit together there's a lot of ideas and their tricky and they fit together and interesting way so i wanted to do more of little extended introduction here than i would usually do because the forest really matters. And we're going to talk a lot about the trees. I figured if i could sort of lay out the road map for the entire discussion that will help. People follow along when we actually get into it. Not because nigel is not clear. He's actually a brilliant exposure of some of these really difficult ideas but yeah this is the kind of area where being told what you're going to be told before you're told it doesn't hurt any. Let's put it that way. So here's how i think about what is going on in this conversation. Physics great right. Physics is very very good at describing certain features of the world but it's natural home where whereas most comfortable most effective is actually quite simple systems right. The spherical cow philosophy ignore areas. And all that so if you have just a few particles bumping into each other do some fine diagrams or even if you have two black holes in spiraling or the universe expanding these might be beyond our intuition or everyday experience but there's a small number of moving parts okay whereas the real world of our everyday experience actually is very complex. There are many many moving parts in a biological system or a sociological economic system. Or something like that and in some sense you know. That's a shame because physics is really good at what it does. And it's kind of a shame that we can't readily transport the techniques and things that we learned from doing physics into these messy complicated systems But it turns out. There are some physical systems that are in some sense pretty simple and yet show features that are closely related to those that we see in the real world so think about a frontal. Get in your mind. The famous images of frac. Dole's with all these little sharp edges and so forth. What makes a practical of fractional. Well you can look at it at any magnification and it looks more or less the same. Maybe not exactly the same sort of similar statistical properties. So if you zoom in on a practical you see just as much going on as you do if you zoom out and look at it from very very far away. Physicists or other kind of scientists call this scale free behavior at every scale over every distance that you examined the system. Something going on often called self similar behavior or sometimes power law behavior because if you quantify what's going on you can show that in these similar systems or facto systems. The amount of stuff that's going on goes as the length scale. You're looking at to some exponent to some power okay. So power law behavior very different than a simple physical system like two particles bumping into each other or even a typical condensed matter system. If you think about water right you can have a glass of water if you zoom in on it. Nothing's going on. It's still water. There's no difference..

Paul thirty six year old guard. They said you know what we're going to pick you up. Eighty five feet every single time. You bring the ball before an over the course of forty eight minutes we are going to drain your energy source and make it so that you are much less inclined to be as aggressive as you were also gonna put drew holiday on you every minute we can rather than handing you off switches are playing. This ridiculous drop covers the league laws. We're going to put you holiday on us much as we can and have them fight over picks having pursue throughout the possession to get you back so that the next time you don't get it back in the second time in that possession to be effective as a score because we devon booker could beat us by herself. That's what they did. Give him credit for that. The other thing he did tony he realized they cannot operate in tight games the way that they had for the last couple of years which was coming out of time out at one possession game. You can almost guarantee with three minutes to go. The milwaukee bucks were going to fall into that trap of well. We've got two time. Mvp i guess this is what you do. Give him the ball ice. Oh and that is not a winning formula with the because he does not have the ability to make a mid range shot a deep shot or really beat you with his passing. He's compete you cert- raise but you have to do something different late. And i think his willingness to put the ball and chris middleton chance to put the ball into holidays hands at times. Use janas more as a screen dive guy. A guy could put pressure on you going toward the rim and those situations that required a difficult conversation. Probably have with honest or maybe not maybe was jaanus just his ego going to decide and saying i accept that this is how we have to engage. Whatever caused it. It was what made the difference in them being able to navigate pressure situations significantly better with this team than they did in the prior two years. So give boone holder lot of credit for understanding. They had to be different late.

I would say yes okay. I realized that afterwards but they look like they were ready. I was like oh this. Looks like an so let. Let's get to the heart of that. Why did they look like they were ready to you. Someone who knows nothing about peppers when they look like they were ready because they were green. Because they've been green since the moment they started growing monk. They just so they'd gotten to a certain size right. I though these look like the prig will. There weren't pretty big.

I mean it's a lot of pages. It's not a very large. Yeah they're reading chapter books now pages so this is good and then i got something yesterday that i don't even understand at all It's from something called. Simply words in lincoln nebraska. It came in this envelope. That i'm holding up for michael nigel to say and it was a shirt. Oh there was a white t shirt with the word love in red on the front. It was a woman. Size was not for a man. It was a woman size. And i don't know why they sent it and i don't know it's address to you got. Yeah it's addressed to me. i don't i i don't understand any of it honestly If they want some publicity. Okay maybe this is. This is what they want. But i don't know what why they sent it to me. Random to seattle. I don't really understand. I i guess what they do. I guess they have words and they put him on t shirts. I'm guessing the word. It's a gift personalized website that they probably have. You know. drink wear programs. That i don't know you can look it up. I don't have any idea. can you get that That t shirt a sweat shirt that that one woman had with the don't want that don't want that but it of course when whenever words comes in it's always it's only words and words are all i have to take your heart away. It's a bg song. Let something else. While we were away nigel. So graciously took care of our plants and our vegetables. And i have a problem. And and michael i i think the solution has to be netting. That's why netting all over when people have gardens now they have netting squirrels or other varmints. Leave the peppers alone. They don't seem to care about the peppers. That's the heat. I don't know i don't have any idea..

"Nigel Show will go off the rails. A bribe Kendall. It's hoping versus Ricky to will have a recap, plus several reaction on Joe Biden's meeting with the Russian president. That's at three o'clock 93, ABC. This legal fight between the attorney general of Indiana, Todd Rokita. And Governor Eric Holcomb. This this is great. I got to admit, this is one of the weird fun ones right? You have the governor's office suing the Legislature. That's how this starts. Tony Katz, Tony Cats today. To the governor's office sues the state legislature. Because the Legislature said they can call themselves into session and the governor said no, you can't. It's not the Constitution can't just call yourselves into session. This has to do with emergency powers and whether or not The Legislature can call themselves into session to say, Hey, Governor Holcomb or any governor you keep with these mass mandates keeping these shutdowns? No, no, no. We have to make that decision. It isn't just yours unilaterally over this length of time. We have to say in this And so they said, We can call ourselves into session because there was no mechanism for for doing so. The governor is saying, No, no, no, no, no. The Constitution does not give you that power. It only gives the governor of the sole authority to call a special legislative session boom. He vetoes the legislation. General Assembly overrides it. So the governor is saying, you know. No, you don't have this authority will take it to the courts. All right, Take it to the courts. You're following the system. This is totally fine. By the way. Taking it to the courts is exactly why on the federal level Congress said that Donald Trump was obstructing Congress because instead of just handing over paperwork he wanted the the courts to answer. The question wasn't what he had to that's obstruction of Congress. It was never obstruction of Congress. It was a garbage claim from garbage people. Okay. Holcomb goes suing. He hires illegal team Enter the Attorney General Todd Ricky to He says. Oh Whoa, you you can't hire your own legal team. And, uh and Governor Holcomb's like, See what and broke. It is like I'm your attorney. I'm the only person My office are the only people who can represent the state in court, and that's what's happening. We're representing a state interest here. You're discussing a state interest here. In what the General Assembly is done. And Hulk was like, Yeah, I am worried about that. I'm going to hire my guys and he happens to hire some guys who are like like one of the guys specifically, seriously anti Trump. That's neither here nor there. So rocky to is now engaged in a battle with the governor, the attorney general of Indiana, engage in a battle with the governor of Indiana to see who the representation is in taking on the General Assembly. Of Indiana. That's on real amazing. You got you got to admit. You got to admit that is something special that you can see that come come into play that you can see this level of battle because this doesn't happen. This dead. When does this happen? Where does this happen? How does this happen? Answer Correct. Now. Here's what I think that's gonna happen. I think the governor is actually right. He has In his conversation that you can't simply decide something that is already Expressed in the Constitution. You can't just make that call. I want a constitutional amendment. That describes how indeed The General Assembly can call itself back into session. Hiding. There needs to be A standard a setup right a plan, but they have to be able to so.

"I were in there were literally at you know at six. Am there would be this smell of bacon coming from the microwave in the kitchen. And it was the The two girls. Who were his producers diane diana and diana and her sister and i can't remember what her sister's name was but it was diana and they were microwaving up g gordon liddy bacon every morning remembering. It's it smelled up the entire The entire offices and studios. It wasn't a bad smell. And and there was the occasional conversation with g. Gordon liddy in the kitchen and he couldn't have been more pleasant could have been a nicer guy. Could not have been a nicer guy. Like one of the most fearsome individualistic over read about in american history. And he was just saw. And i i think you and i would like occasionally start. Firing some watergate related questions at him. And he's i good question. Good question kevin. I gotta get back to the studio by the way. The bacon smell much better than the time when mike. Kelly decided he'd up seafood chowder. Oh god and everyone just yelled like. Don't ever do this again. Man you just ruin the entire radio station. Didn't liddy gist. I did just pass away. It was just like two months ago. Right yeah it was very recent and and you know we talked about on antonio show and it was is that we had this weird opportunity. Interact with them. Antonio's said listen. He was a lovely guy. He was lovely. He could not have been nicer and it was. It was a bizarre chapter in my broadcast history. Sort of have interactions with this guy. But again you know you never know who who. You're going to run into this kind of career. And he was just a. Yeah and you know when we did move to rockville. We didn't want to move to rockville. That place in silver spring was away from everybody else incorporate we basically had our own set up there. It was so easy to get in and out of now. Rockville ended up being great. Too but I remember tony's resistance to rockville. And i'm like it's gonna be fine By the way the other thing about mark to Not only was was he. Great as nigel and i very much do remember as you were creating this character in those early days and you know sort of the debates that you were having about you know what it was going to be what his name was going to be and how much you should do. It and i'll i remember is. Just be encouraging. I'm like it's phenomenal. You just gotta you just gotta do it. And and mark is it has been A stand up comic Some of you know that in some of you seen him and he's great but the other thing that i wanted to say to you and this is so true while mark was definitely A in acquired taste for adults and really again. The reason being mark is one of these people. And i have several friends that are this way that they just don't wanna waste any time with people that they don't feel like they should waste time with that. That is partly you and your personality which is fine I remember those early days saying basically. Fuck him You know. I don't i don't really care. But and then somehow we ended up becoming friends but what mark was phenomenal doing is he was great with young people. And all of the interns that came through nine eighty over the years including by the way my son and a lot of sons and daughters of friends of mine remember we had basically the sheehan interns for about three straight summers always great Mark could not have been better with young people and still to this day. There are friends of my son who will ask house mark doing And and because you are great with young people in you really. I don't think it was You certainly didn't get paid Any more for for doing it but for all intents and purposes hugh her the managing the intern program at least those that were in during our portion of the day. Well it was. It was always. It's always fun to shape a young mind in that and show them. Hey this is the right way to do things you know. This is you know. Let me get your mind working right about how you can cover a show and how you prepare for show and you know i. It's great to see the eagerness and the anticipation from from the kids. Always a great thrill for me and you always brought it. We didn't always have great kids. You know couple that were were not real interested in the internship. No and i remember very specifically. I'm not gonna name names a year where it was december seventh and i asked these two interns. What's the significance of that day. Neither one of them got it very angry. You brought through always drift we. We hit him with a lot of dates like The significance of of july fourteenth. Does anybody have any idea what the significant and they wouldn't even have any clue Anyway feeling a lot of our listeners. Don't understand the significance of that data either but that may be a trip I making This summer for a few days really back to old pal which my wife loves a lot. And i said can we just go somewhere and i can be on the beach and play golf. No we have to go. You know where we can see museums and cathedrals At i don't know why. I'm past that point of doing out on vacation. I'm not interested in that. As much as i and i wasn't never i was sort of interest i was the guy that wasn't interested in that i would get interested when i got to the museum row and i was like oh that was really cool but i would prefer on vacation to play golf or beach. Yeah you want to recharge the batteries from do either. But i was. I've never been to france and i love. I mean there's so many things that you and the vice president vice-president apparently which she apparently has not been to europe which i found is a surprise. I've been to england once. But i've never guess france and you're from england. I well technically. I am from england. Yes from birmingham. I think but yeah no. Every time i watch the french open over roland garros. And i'm like man i gotta get over there and see i got. You've been to see wimbledon. I'm if you've been to see rolling. And no i've seen i've seen the venue but i've never been there for the actual open itself by the way is a quick aside because i don't wanna forget this because you'll be able to win a way in on this as well. Tommy and i were in this big argument yesterday on the podcast. He's like the french opens the equivalent of the pga. No it's not it's not it is you know maybe third but for for europeans and a lot of the players it's second behind wimbledon and maybe even first for the klay quarters but it is a. It's a big time turnover. But but yeah these are things we've talked about so many times you have to get over to the. That's where you have to go Mark is definitely a historian on many fronts. I mean you were a european history. Major right Well classics classical civilization major. Okay let's split study all european history. I mean that's i've always had a passion for it and the more i studied the for the further back i would go now. I'm into ancient egypt's oh boy fascinated with i got a whole egypt's and drip. I'm trying to plan as well all right. Well i'm going to have to get up to snuff on that and then we can have a conversation about that I do before we get to your podcast. And what you're doing with the usda working with tony the years like is there a show or shows that stand out more than any others over the years. You know what there is one show. I recall in particular. Well does in a couple of moments first of all tony. Tony's unscripted opens on big days. When something big would happen you know i i. And i'm thinking specifically of when george steinbrenner passed and we were doing the show from his beach house. And i think it just happened and i said who do you want me to call on this..
