I don't know. You just start trying things. Why not? Who cares? Hey, new rewatchables come in Monday night. I'll just tell you what it is. It's a movie from 1993. Yeah, another one. Another one that did really well in the box office. So you'll find out Monday night. It's a good one though. I'm excited to drop it on you. So we did that true crime podcast, Wedding Scammer, hosted and created by Justin Sales. And it did really well. People liked it. And it makes me super happy because Justin Sales is a great guy. And he's been with The Ringer pretty much since the beginning. But it's nice when somebody works their ass off on something and it actually pays off. So I'm glad people like it. Check out the first episode. It's not that long. It's really well done. And you will definitely 100 % enjoy it. Okay. Let's bring in the cuz. Let's talk some football. Let's talk some wound licking with some bets, some Eagles, all kinds of things. It's all next. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam! All right. We are taping this. It is 830 Pacific time on Sunday night. Cousin Sal is here as always. He's wearing a nice, fresh Oregon hat that I think you probably bought probably this weekend. You went to visit your son? Smells very new. Yeah, I went to visit my son. I'm not happy with the way my hair looks. And I think the hat's an improvement. So what am I going to do? It looks great. We just watched Dolphins Eagles just now. And at the same time, Rangers Astros was happening. And it really felt like, I don't know, it felt like a great October sports night there. And then Texas blew it open in the end. But next week, we'll have basketball. There will be baseball going on. It'll really feel like October. The Eagles though. So right as I start sending texts to Eagles people in my life wondering what's going on with Hurts and what's going on with this team, and then they just turn it on and they win by 14. It's weird. Eye test wise versus the stats and just looking at the standings and stuff. It's a team that doesn't seem like they have all their shit together. And yet it doesn't matter because they have so much talent. They can just kind of pick and choose. And then all of a sudden they win anyway. I know don't what other team in the NFL is like this. Do you see that too? Yeah, absolutely. And it's a bummer because I think you agree. The Dolphins are, I don't know, favorite team to watch if you have to cut everything else out. Best offense, so much going on, like dynamic, Tyreek Hill, anything. Tua. But when they play a game like this, when they go to Buffalo, they're just going to get beat in the trenches. And like what you said is it doesn't really matter if you're so physical, Philadelphia, offensively or defensively. And like Tua's getting swallowed up in the pocket on third and ones. And where Philadelphia could just run that tush push like it or not, it's going to move the chains every time. So, yeah, it sucks. Yeah. The less flashy team wins. And they happen to be in my favorite team's division. But that's what's going to happen in January. Ten turnovers for Hertz. He had eight off last year. There's times where, you know, like sometimes, and I don't know whether he's protecting his body or what's going on, but he'll kind of duck away from taking hits, which is smart. And then he'll have weird throws. And I texted Solak today during third quarter. I'm like, are we going to find out that Hertz has had like torn rib cartilage since week two or, you know, he doesn't look right sometimes. And then in the fourth quarter, all of a sudden looks great. And I don't really know what to make of it. And I can't get a feel for it. But on top of it, they have this tush push thing that in the big drive of the game, they're able to get two straight fourth and ones on their own side of the field. I know we, you and I have talked about it. You've talked about it incessantly. And at the same time, it feels like it is the most important NFL invention in the last five years, this play that nobody can stop ever at any point. If he does, nobody else can do it. I know it's weird. And we likened it to the Tom Brady thing. There was no reason why Tom Brady should convert fourth and one and a half every single time, you know, physically and everything else. But except they had their shit together, the Eagles, they really do. And if he does have cracked ribs, I hope it's from his own teammate, smashing them over the line of scrimmage there. Yeah, it was just wear and tear on the back of his body from several guys. Yeah. So they're performing the Heimlich on him like every eight minutes. So I guess if you're taking the takeaway from the Eagles is nice when they needed to have it, they're also supposed to win. But the AJ Brown piece of it, the fact that they traded, you know, a first round pick basically, and then they paid him. And I don't know, he's one of the four best receivers in the league now. Is he one of the three? He's somewhere on the shortest possible list. I have him on multiple fantasy teams, and it's gotten to the point where I'm just expecting 100 yards in a TD every game. But that turned out to be one of the better trades, I think, of the last 10 years. Just kind of took him from Tennessee. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was ridiculous. And he is such a great possession receiver. And it's like, it's scary, too, because you'll forget about him, too. You probably put Justin Jefferson in the top three. And then every time Cousins drops back the pass or any snap, you're like, all right, this has to go to Jefferson. Otherwise, it's going to go for nothing out of this offense. And then eight tush pushes in a row. And then you see AJ Brown's like, oh, my God, I forgot about this guy. What? He's got 120 yards. It's nuts. So, yeah, dynamite. I like, yeah, there's like four different kind of catches he can make, too, which I think makes him stand out because they can throw those bubble screens. They can just put them right over the middle, like for seven, eight yards. It seems like whenever they want, they can send him deep down the sidelines, which he seems to love. And then that kind of deep over the middle with two guys on him and he can make plays anyway. But he he has, like, I think the biggest bag of any of the receivers right now. Yeah, personal. I don't know. I got these guys. Yeah. Yeah. I hate this team. I don't know. I don't even know what to say anymore. Like, you know, the Miami have what, 10 or 11 penalties? It's just like it's a it's like a mind fuck, too, when you play him, too, because you can't get out of a can't get out of your own way when you play against them. Kyle, don't turn on the tick tock camera for this. Has Philly replaced Boston for most interesting sports city? Like, look at all the shit they have going right now. Right. Right. They're they're about to make the World Series. They have this Eagles team that made the Super Bowl last year and it feels super relevant again, is definitely going to be a final 14 worst case scenario. And then they have this NBA team with this James Harden saga that God only knows how he's going to sabotage things over the next month. But and then you look at my team where my city where I have the the you know, we have a great NBA team, it looks like. And then other than that, completely forgettable across the board. I think Philly's kind of grabbed the mantle a little bit. I don't like it. I don't like it right now. That's not good. And it's not good for their fans because their fans are supposed to just hate the other team, not supposed to like their team. So it doesn't matter if their team is good. Right. Yeah, I don't know. It's a bummer. Although I'll say that they were in this position last year, too. Right. Phillies win the World Series. The Eagles win the Super Bowl. This has been this is the 2020s has kind of been the Philly decade. I don't like it. It's upsetting to me. And fortunately, the Sixers are it seems like they're going to go in the tank. But I got to say they have great crowds like the the Phillies playoff crowds are way up there. That's about as good of a baseball crowd as you're going to get. It really feels like if they can have like a do or die game or a must win game or a clincher at home, you feel like they're going to get it. And whatever happened with Bryce, you know, pretty special, like to sign that guy from another team and he becomes the signature athlete in your city. We had a little bit of that with Manny Ramirez, where we kind of took him from. We paid for it, but took him from Cleveland and he kind of became one of the symbols of that run. But pretty nuts that they just took him from another team and he became what he became. Yeah, it's a great crowd whenever they I mean, I thought the Rams crowd today was dynamite, too, against the Steelers. I thought they really showed up. It's really loud. Yeah, yeah, it's been proud to be from L .A. Yeah, I have a I know you don't want to talk about Phillies, so I'll move on. I have a Tyree question for you. What's your all time receiver list for receivers you've watched just where you're like, that guy's fucking amazing? Because for me, it was always Rice number one and Moss two and then a drop off. And then some people like Tio's three for me. I'm like, cool. Tio is like an absolute franchise murderer and was a huge head case and you couldn't trust him. And as the years pass, the stats will be great. All the fucking drama that he brought to every situation he's in, that stuff will kind of die off. But for me, I think Tyreek's unequivocally three now for me. Every single game, it just you just feel like he's going to have 250 yards as you're watching it, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Unstoppable, Tyreek over Calvin Johnson, that type. Yeah, I think like where you would put him. Yeah, I think for me, he's definitely over Calvin Johnson. Michael Gallup is three, four. I'm trying to see where I would put these people. Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. I think he's got to be number three. Although if you look at like Antonio Brown, who's now a punch line, he had like six of the best seasons you'll ever see in a row. But but in terms of presence and being unstoppable, Rice, Moss, Tyreek Hill, it's a good three. That's how I feel. I think, you know, Sharp, I think, could have gotten there in the Packers way back when in the 90s. And then, you know, he hurt his neck and he basically only had like a six or seven year career. But I thought in the 90s, I thought other than Rice, he was the second best guy. Your guy, Irvin, was great. There's no question that team was loaded. We've had some good ones over the years, but Tyreek, the speed, how he just tilts the field over and over again, how scared the other team is of him. How much space he opens up for everybody else. I think he's three. I don't think he'll ever get over Moss or Rice for me, though. I'm trying to think who could pass him, though, now at three. I mean, we've put Justin Jefferson up there before. Now that we haven't seen him for a few weeks, we've kind of forgot about him in the right now. But Hill's done this now for, you know, six, what's it, six years since he's on the 18 Chiefs. I can't remember how many years he's been in the league, but yeah, he'll be stride for stride with two defenders. And then, like, if the ball hangs up there long enough, he's now seven, eight yards past them. Oh, I know who's number four. That's a nice little advantage. Pooka. He is? Guys, see that catch he made on the sideline today? It was pretty great. Before the Rams realized they were going against a force greater than any satanic force or anything, the Pittsburgh Steelers. You want to talk about that? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. So they're four and two. I've watched every play of all six games. I have no idea how they're four and two, but they've hit the point now where I feel like they're going to win when there's no signs. Like that guy missed the extra point today for the Rams and made it nine, three instead of 10, three. I'm like, oh, here we go. Steelers come down. All of a sudden it's 10, nine. They have five first downs because they get the TJ Watt, you know, the pick that sets up the touchdown. And you're just like, here we go. They're doing this. And we've seen this before because this was the Eli Manning. Danny Heifetz was the first person to point this out. This was the Eli Manning recipe for years and years that I can't believe that team's winning. What the fuck just happened? He only made two throws. How did he do it? They're four and two. I totally believe in them. And I feel like they're going to go 12 and five and have a negative point differential. Well, the good thing is we're making money off them, right? We've been and we saw them. Plus, I mean, I thought they'd be favored last Sunday night. I thought they'd be favored, but they're not. So we're doing that thing, but also just taking them because the Steelers. But I found the gem and I gave it out on ringer wise guys, Rams first half Steelers to win the game 10 to one. You know, I'm positive that their bullshit is going to pay dividends and 10 to one. I think it'll hit like three more times. Like you're right. That TJ Watt interception brings it down to the eight. We see some separation from Pickens on a receipt, like the little one drive you wait for all game and it happens. And then that terrible spot at the end, it didn't give him a chance. That that was beyond really big. McVeigh also probably should have had a timeout left. I know. But, you know, what is it important to be like, hey, listen, we could get this right, but we'd rather teach you a lesson, coach, to save your timeouts. Like, I don't, this, the spot thing bothers me more than missed pass interferences because it's an old man jogging eight yards and he has to see between 20 bodies. And then like, you know, he sticks his foot in the mud and says, here, this is like a surveyor from 1835. He's like, this is where your property in, sir. Like we got to put, there's a chip in the ball. Isn't there a chip in the ball? What's it for? It's funny that we figured out Wimbledon. We figured out we've in U .S. Open, we figured out how to measure serves immediately, whether they hit the line or not in football, which seems like it would be really easy to just have some sort of magnet that was attached to the chains. The other thing that was weird about that for the people who didn't see it, the Steelers did fourth and one, they had the lead. There's probably like a little more than two minutes left and they run the QB sneak play, kind of the Brady play where you, you kind of put your head down, but you go left. But he slipped and fell on his knee and his knee went down. And it wasn't one of those when you're watching it where you're like, oh, I wonder if he got it was like, you knew immediately, oh, he didn't get it. He slipped. And then they come in with the spot and then like, oh, he might have gotten it. And they did that. I couldn't believe it. And I'm rooting for the Steelers. But I was like, oh, my God, it's the worst spot of the year. I thought they deserved to win anyway. But but that was pretty tough for the Rams. We need some clarification. And I get it because McVeigh didn't have timeouts and it wasn't actually the two minute warning yet, even though it did wind to that after that. But is there a ref in the sky? Is there this guy in the sky or is this everything has to go back to New York? Like, I feel like we're told three different things. It's a bummer because that could have been overturned. But you're right. Ten to one we hit. Let's just keep doing it. You know, you know who else would have gotten that fourth one? Eli Manning. He would have fallen down a half foot in front and somehow would have gotten the spot. The Rams kicker was the MVP of this game for the Steelers. He missed two longer field goals. They were like 50 yard field goals, but he missed about them. Then he missed that extra point. And then Tomlin just, you know, he threw away the challenge. He screwed up a challenge, which is the Tomlin staple.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Chairman Gallagher on What Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum Should Ask the GOP Candidates About Xi and CCP

And of course, a listen to the Hillsdale dialogues, all of them at Q for Hillsdale dot com or just Google Apple, iTunes and Hillsdale. Morning Glory America Bonjour. Hi, Canada. I'm Hugh Hewitt. Tomorrow night, eight Republicans will meet on the stage in Milwaukee for a debate. I am certain that China will come up the Chinese Communist Party, but I'm not sure how. Brett Baer, of course, coming up later in the program. Martha McCollum, two superb professionals, the equal of anyone else in our business, will be asking the question. But I thought I would talk it through with the chairman of the House Select Committee on Engagement with the Chinese Communist Party. Mike Gallagher, congressman. Good morning. Great to have you. Thank you for joining me. It is great to be with you, Hugh. We're going to come back around to this kind of war, which I finished last night on the recommendation of you. It is a remarkable book. And I had no idea how awful the chai comms were to our American prisoners. I just I didn't know. Did you know that before? Did the Marines teach you that when you were in the Marines? No, there's there's two things that I think, well, a lot of actually our modern thinking about how to prepare people for when they get captured. Think survival of Asian resistance and escape school, which I attended when I was in the Marine Corps actually comes out of the experience of the Korean War, particularly some politically sensitive moments when a few American captives refused actually to go home. There was, of course, this controversy during that time period post Korean War in the 50s about this idea of brainwashing. This is prominently expressed in the fictional book The Manchurian Candidate, which became a major American movie. But a lot of our thinking about how to better prepare pilots in particular because they get shot down for resisting in captivity actually comes out of that period. Well, a couple of takeaways I'll never forget. There are no Turks died in the camps. The Turks are the toughest people in the world, and none of them died in the Chinese Communist Party camps. And the Americans didn't eat everything they could eat because they didn't like it and they died of starvation. But the fact that the Chinese communists treated our men that way is a tell because they've reverted to this mode. They were the hardcore Maoist, Leninist mode in 1950 through 1953, and they've reverted. And that's what I want to talk to you about. I want to ask you at length. We got a lot of time this morning and thank you for the time. If you were advising Brett and Martha based upon your six months, what would you tell them are the major takeaways that you've learned as the chairman of the Select Committee? And how would you suggest they be turned into a question? Take your time, because that's a big that's a big question. What have you learned thus far in six months? And how would you convert that into questions for our candidates? Well, I think the overall thing to realize for these candidates and this advice is worth what they're paying me for it is that there is, in my opinion, something called the commander in chief test. It's not you know, you're not graded A through F. I think it's a pass fail endeavor, but it is absolutely critical. Put differently, I'm not myopic enough to believe that foreign policy or a particular issue of foreign policy is going to win the candidate candidate the election, but it could very well lose them the election. The final thing to say about the assumptions going into this when it comes to foreign policy is that the conventional wisdom is that it doesn't really matter from a political electoral perspective. And there's a lot of social science to support that. I just would say it doesn't matter until it does. It doesn't matter until things go haywire on the world stage and suddenly voters are looking to a prospective commander in chief to communicate, if nothing else, a sense of safety that I have the temperament and the plan to keep America safe in a very dangerous world, which leads, I think, to the answer your question more than anything else. I think these candidates need to communicate that they have a clear understanding of the threat we face in the Chinese Communist Party, the scale and scope of this threat. Why this isn't just a matter of some obscure territorial disputes in the South China Sea. This is indeed a global competition. The CCP has global ambitions. What happens in Xinjiang, what happens in Beijing is not going to stay there. They are intent on exporting their model of total techno totalitarian control, which leads to the second point that you need to find a way to contrast that threat to enduring the and inherently superior American values. And I do believe that this is a contest between two fundamentally incompatible systems of government. And it's unlike anything we've seen since, of course, the old Cold War. So communicating the stakes, communicating who we're dealing with in the nature of a Marxist Leninist regime that will stop at nothing to ensure that they survive at the expense of their own people. And that is the enemy of freedom around the world is the most important thing. In fact, I would say even more important than any particular policy position is just communicating that understanding of the threat and the prioritization of the threat, a recognition that as president, the most important issue that you will be dealing with as commander in chief is how to deter a war with the CCP in the short term and win a new Cold War with the CCP over the long term. So let's put that in the form of a question for Brett and Martha, because I think you're right, I am looking at, of course, I've always looked at every one of these debates as an audition to be commander in chief. Eventually, there comes a choice with the Democrat. But right now, when I vote in the Virginia primary, I will vote based on who will be the best commander in chief. And because that's what matter. 9 -11 matters. What is the W do on 9 -11 that matters? What does W do? The Afghanistan and Iraq. What does anyone do on any moment of crisis? What do they do in the situation room? Figuring out how to elicit that about China is a difficult thing. So you've been doing nothing but this for six months. And by the way, recap for our audience and Pittsburgh Steeler fans what you have been doing for six months, because they may never have heard of the select committee. This might be the first day they're listening to the audience. No acronyms or five dollars in the tip jar for food for the poor. Well, the speaker of the House created the select committee on the CCP to do two things. One is to communicate why this matters, why anybody in northeast Wisconsin or Pittsburgh or Ohio should care about the threat posed by the CCP, to shine a light on all the things that they're doing, whether it's threatening to invade Taiwan, whether it's establishing illegal police stations on American soil, whether it's infiltrating American universities or attempting to build spy bases in our near abroad, to explain why it matters and why your average American should care about it. The second thing is to identify policies and pieces of legislation that can pass even in divided government. In the 118th Congress, what is the center of gravity in terms of steps that we can take in order to put ourselves on a better position to beat the CCP in this short and long term competition? So that's what we've been doing. We've broken it down, essentially, as though this isn't a perfect organization into three main lines of effort. And I do think this reflects our overall lines of effort, our grand strategy against China basically has three main components. One is military competition. What are the things we need to do to deter a war over Taiwan in the near term, as well as ensure that we maintain our dominant military position over the long term? The second is what I call economic statecraft. How do we selectively decouple from China so they don't have a coercive leverage over us so they can't threaten, for example, to cut off the export of advanced pharmaceutical ingredients in order to bring us to our knees? And then the third line of effort is what I call ideological warfare or ideological competition, which is not only how do we rediscover a language for talking about American values and incorporate values and human rights back into American grand strategy, but also how do we better defend our institutions from Chinese Communist Party subversion, from something called United Front Work, from traditional espionage, things like that. So we aren't corrupted and divided from within, which is what the Chinese Communist Party is trying to do. Wang Huning, who's Xi Jinping's top lieutenant in the 90s, wrote a book called America Against America, in which he talks about Americans as greedy, factional. And that that title, America against America, I think reflects their overall strategy, which is to divide Americans against Americans and thereby make it impossible for us to compete. So we've been developing policy recommendations along each of those lines. We've put out two reports, one on military competition, one related to human rights. And we're going to be putting out further reports. So, you know, I think those are useful starting points for for candidates who want to prepare for a debate in terms of where's Congress at on this issue? Where's the bipartisan center of gravity? Where can you potentially build on some of our work? But that's what we've been doing for six months. It's trying to understand and explain the threat and then identify policy solutions that help us to combat that threat. How would you put that in the form of a question by Brett or Martha? Well, there's the overall prioritization question, you know, what is the biggest threat to American national security, which is a bit boring, but no, it's not that's not boring. That that is that is the question, isn't it? Shouldn't that just be asked? What is the number one threat to American national security and why? Shouldn't that be it? Yeah, I think that that's table stakes, right? That's a good diagnostic question. And then it also allows the candidates, if they want to use their full time and I forget how much time they get to really articulate the key distinction between them and the Biden administration, because if you read the Biden administration's national security strategy that they talk about China as a pacing threat, although I'm hearing now that the Pentagon is saying don't say pacing threat, say pacing challenge or competitor, because we obviously don't want to provoke the CCP for whatever reason. I've described this as kind of like a Voldemort phenomenon. There's this belief that the more more we say things like New Cold War or say that the CCP is doing bad things, that it will somehow become more true, which I think is absurd. I'll be right back. Sherman Gallagher is going to stay with me through the break and then we're going to bring him back and then we're going to do that again. And we're going to talk to him for 15 minutes this morning about this. I can't believe I'm doing that. 15 minutes with Mike Gallagher coming right at you, America. Stay tuned. I'm back now with Chairman Mike Gallagher. This is the segment between the radio segments, so you don't get to hear this unless you're watching it on YouTube or on the on the television station. Chairman, in terms of what level should we expect of our candidates knowledge? I see your Green Bay Packers thing yet. Do you know the Browns cleared 38 million in cap yesterday by restructuring Joel Bentonio and Miles Garrett's contract? We have no we have the most cap space in the NFL. We are the team to beat. We will see you. I actually I don't think you're making it to the Super Bowl this year. We are going to be in the Super Bowl this year and you are not ready for this. I'm glad this isn't on the air because this is a serious conversation. But you had to do that little thing. And I'll I'll just go get my brown sweater and just put it on during this segment like that. I'm going to wear this all the time now on the air because we're going to the Super Bowl. Chairman, do you know that we cleared Miles Garrett contract yesterday? You know what we do? Do you follow sports at all or do you just do ChaiCom stuff? I don't follow Brown's contract minutia. I'll confess. I'll confess that, though. I was I was yesterday. Someone said that I had the potential to coach for the Browns after I helped them with a constituent case issue, to which I said I would never coach for the Browns on an Intel. All right. Let me get serious again. I'm going to try to go off the off the rail. We'll get back on the rails. How many times have you guys held public hearings? Oh, gosh, I think 10 at this point, approximately 10. You had at least one set of war games. You have more war games coming. We do. We have we have at least one more coming up that's going to be more focused on economic and supply chain issues. OK. Do you think the candidates know anything about that? I really do want to try and use today to focus their attention on China. Do you think they know anything about what the select committee has been doing? Have you been approached by any of them? I think some do. It's part of the reason I wrote an op ed on this that appeared today in The Wall Street Journal just came out was an effort, maybe shamelessly, to draw attention to some of the things we're doing, because I think it creates some unique opportunities. I mean, to me, you know, the most and this reflects my bias in thinking that hard power is the most important variable on the world stage. I think a candidate who can articulate what we need to do to rebuild the military in general, but really the Navy in particular, which is, as you know, Hugh is really struggling right now. It needs to be our priority force in our priority theater. It's not. We're going backwards. There's questions about focus, warfighting prowess. You know, I wrote a report with the help of Admiral Montgomery about the lack of warfighting focus in the surface Navy with Tom Cotton, Dan Crenshaw and others. I mean, I think that's a massive opportunity for a candidate really to take the ball on defense and go a few layers deep beyond just peace through strength, military good, China bad. You go a few layers deep on that and sort of communicate that you have a coherent plan. Doesn't need to be super detailed. Doesn't need to be a 50 page white paper about everything we need to do. But just as an overall strategy for fiction, I'm going to get your comms team in trouble again. I haven't seen this plan that you and Cotton worked on. How can I not have seen this plan? Well, this is a year ago. You got to blame Cotton's comms team for this because he was OK. And usually it's good to blame Tom Cotton. He's on next hour. I'll do that. Is that widely available? Yeah, it's Cotton did it with four of us in the house. It was over a year, a year and a half ago, kind of in response to all of these ship collisions. Some of the reports that we were getting from active duty sailors and just the changes over the years to training in the surface Navy. We did a deep dive drawing on the expertise of Admiral Montgomery and others. I will give him about that in the next hour and I'll get a link and I'll make sure it's posted out to the candidates. Don't go anywhere. I'm coming right back with Chairman Gallagher. Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, Chairman Mike Gallagher of the House Select Committee on Engagement, the Chinese Communist Party returns. We talked during the break and we got off course because we did a little football trash talk. But now we're back on course. Chairman Gallagher, have you read this book? You had Kabul, the untold story of Biden's fiasco and the warriors who fought to the end. It it made me furious. It absolutely made me furious. Have you had a chance to read it yet? No, but my friend Commander Salamander, who's great in his podcast, Midrats, I highly recommend, just did a podcast with with the authors. So I listened to it. It's not the same, but I am now looking forward to reading the actual hard copy. Well, the end of the book, which I don't know of Commander Salamander got to because I didn't get to it and I talked to him for a long time. It's about how the chai comms came in as soon as we left. They have designs on Bagram. They know what the air raids mean. They know what the strategic minerals mean. It's just a great example of what happens when we retreat in the world. In fact, in the in the this kind of war book you had me read, I wrote down some notes. A retreat once started as the most difficult of all human actions to reverse. And they were talking about the retreat of the Norcs at that point. And then we would retreat later when they counterattack with the chai comms. But we retreated from Afghanistan and they have come in. Have you focused yet on what they're doing there? It hasn't been, admittedly, a subject of a hearing. You know, we have experts, you know, regional experts and Afghanistan experts. I think the key thing to bring it back to the the presidential debate, obviously the obvious thing to do is to connect the surrender to terrorists in Afghanistan, our abandonment of our position, our abandonment of billions of dollars worth of military equipment to then the collapse of deterrence in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, because I do believe that our feckless position in Afghanistan sent a clear signal of weakness to Vladimir Putin. And no wonder Vladimir Putin ignored all of our warnings leading up to the invasion on February 24th because we look so weak on the world stage and we allowed terrorists to completely take over the country. And I think also that has had a negative impact on our deterrent posture in in the Indo -Pacific, across the Taiwan Strait. You mentioned critical minerals. I also think this is a huge opportunity for presidential candidates to articulate a plausible path towards reducing our dependency on China for critical mineral processing. They control 90 percent of the processing. Right now, I think our attempts to wean ourselves off of our to to establish some form of semiconductor manufacturing independence are not going to be successful, in part because the Biden administration has placed so many onerous regulations on grants for chips, fabrication facilities. But if a Republican candidate, particularly one with a business background or with a gubernatorial background, came in and said, here's our strategy when it comes to advanced pharmaceutical ingredients, critical minerals and rare earth processing, tie that to a robust domestic economic agenda. That's a massive opportunity for someone trying to pass the commander in chief test, because the reality is we are going to have to reclaim our economic independence from China in key areas. The progressives are experimenting with one way to do it. We need to identify a way that is fundamentally free market, but not but nonetheless achieves the actual goal of reducing our dependency on China. Chairman Gallagher, there's only one veteran on the stage, Ron DeSantis. Mike Pence has got a son and a son in law on active duty. Of course, Nikki Haley's husband is deployed. Those three know about this in terms of of why is China a threat? Is it a fair question to ask? Why is China a threat? What is it that worries you about China? Is that a fair question? If so, how would you answer that or suggest they answer that if you are one of the people on the stage? Well, first of all, I do think DeSantis has been really good on China and probably the best in the field. I was watching the forum that they did in Iowa. I forget what it's called, the Iowa Faith and Family Forum. And he proactively brought up China as an issue and talked about what he's done in Florida to combat the threat, talked about the threat in global terms. And so the most of the discussion focused on Ukraine. And I understand that that's more of a politically divisive issue on the stage. And so there is a you know, I think the moderators will want to identify the differences between the candidate thus far. Governor DeSantis has been talking in clear and unapologetic language about why the CCP is a threat and what he would do to combat it, which is greatly appreciated. More to your point, as a Navy veteran, I think he has a huge opportunity to be the Navy guy, be the guy who's going to rebuild the Navy and put it in a position where it can it can deter Xi Jinping from attempting to achieve his lifelong ambition was to take Taiwan by force. So to answer your question, Vivek just told me last week, we'll give them Taiwan after we achieve semiconductor independence. In other words, Vivek understands Taiwan is important for its semiconductor. Your colleague on the committee, Ro Khanna, tweeted at me last night when I was already offline that that doesn't do the trick. That's not why we're worried about Taiwan going down. Who's right? Well, obviously, our interests in Taiwan extend far beyond semiconductors. Our interests predate Taiwan's emergence as a semiconductor powerhouse. And if the concern from Vivek and I think it is that our dependence on TSMC for semiconductor manufacturing needs to be eliminated, I just would say two things. It's highly unlikely that we're going to achieve semiconductor independence by 2028. TSMC is investing far more money than the CHIPS Act is investing right now. Even under a Republican president, we would struggle to wean ourself off our dependency. But if the CCP had control of Taiwan, they would still be able to hold the rest of the world economically hostage. And that is the issue. Semiconductors or other or some sort of domain of economic competition. If they had Taiwan, they would be able to completely dominate the region through which trillions of dollars of international trade go. The other thing I would say, it's I mean, we got to go to break. I'll come back to go to break. We'll be right back with Chairman Gallagher during the break and then one more segment beyond. Don't go anywhere. America, I'm Hugh Hewitt. Portions of The Hugh Hewitt Show are brought to you by Food for the Poor. So I'm back with Chairman Gallagher, Chairman Vivek's answer to that is I'm going to get India to cooperate. And if Taiwan closes the Taiwan Straits, we're going to close the Malacca Straits. Ro Khanna says that's that's crazy. That doesn't work. I don't know what the answer is, but I know what Vivek has told me. I don't think he agrees with you, but I'll let him speak for himself. I don't want to put words in his mouth that we have to worry that much about the Taiwan Strait. Well, he's obviously very smart. I would say this with Marxist Leninist regimes, their appetites grow with the eating. So I think it would be a mistake to think that if we just surrender Taiwan on a date certain that we wouldn't have to worry about the problem. If they're the dominant regional power, they're one step closer to becoming the dominant global power. And that, I think, is the answer to your earlier question. Why? Why is the CCP a threat? Because they're trying to destroy our geopolitical position. Primarily by convincing us to destroy ourselves, they believe, as we mince words about whether they're a competitor or an adversary, they certainly believe that they're in an existential war with the free world led by America and that China will win, rendering America and our constitutional system of self -government subordinate, humiliated and wholly irrelevant on the world stage. So you can sort of think of it as as an assisted suicide. You know, they're trying to expedite our collapse. They provide the chemicals, fentanyl, the collapse in prosperity. Covid, IP theft, economic warfare and the self -loathing and depression via political interference and information warfare. So I think the the the threat would not stop after Xi Jinping had taken Taiwan. I think it would only expedite and become greater. So if you could read Xi Jinping's mind, what is he thinking about us? What does he want to see happen to us? I think he wants us to look inward and to abandon our position on the world stage and to be consumed with internal political battles. I also think he likes seeing us embrace this almost the CCP's narrative that America is an evil country. America is a neo colonial racist hellscape. I mean, this is CCP propaganda that a lot of Americans have embraced. I think ultimately he wants us to lose faith in ourselves as a force for good in the world. And ultimately, over time, he thinks the rest of the world is going to Finland dies more in the CCP's direction as an alternative model of government and world leadership, in part because America has lost faith in itself. That's why I think primarily the hard power is the most important variable. This is an ideological competition overall. And ignoring the role ideology plays in the competition is a fatal flaw. And so we need to find a way to press the candidates on that as well. You know, the we got two minutes before we come back. The ideological competition is quite simply not discussed. And I don't think our media is familiar with it. They're not stupid. They're ignorant of the ideological. They don't even believe it exists anymore. Chairman, have you run into that? Do your Democratic colleagues believe that there are such things like Leninist and that that the 20th century ideological competition is back with a vengeance? Well, I think for two and a half decades, we tried to take the communist out of Chinese Communist Party, and this belief persists that, well, they're not really communist. They're not really Marxist. They've embraced forms of capitalism and they're they're rational actors. And I think this is a dangerous way of thinking to go down, particularly under Xi Jinping. The party has embraced its Marxist Leninist roots. Xi's spirit animal is, in fact, Stalin. He looks to Stalin for guidance on how to operate. And so a candidate who understands that and can articulate that, I think, has a massive opportunity to distinguish themselves. The Democrats sort of come at the ideological competition through human rights. And there are a lot who genuinely believe in the cause of human rights. And though there are times when we have to prioritize between security concerns and human rights, this is when dealing with China, that's not an issue at all. We're coming right back. Stand by, chairman.

NFL Says All Teams Must Add Minority Offensive Coach
"NFL is now requiring every team to have a minority coach in a key offensive role. According to the NFL, turns out that recently the head coaches in the NFL have come from the offensive side of the ball and there is in the view of the NFL and insufficient number of minorities occupying these kinds of positions. Aside from the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, there is one other black coach, his name is lovey Smith, Texans just hired him. And the dolphins hired a man named Mike mcdaniel, who is biracial, one of his parents, it's white, one of his parents is black. And the NFL has now an equity measure to require each team to have a minority assistant coach. In a significant role on its offensive staff.

I have no idea what the plan was and pittsburgh this year. Didn't draft a quarterback for the future. So are we looking at base and rudolf ethic guy. Are we going to beg in plead in hope that ben rothlisberger the way that he's looking now if he continues to look this way that hopefully that he's gonna come back for another season. You're the pittsburgh steelers fans. Do you wanna see ben rothlisberger. In the way he's playing right now come back a year older like somehow someway. That's going to improve. I don't give a damn. I don't care if you had to nineteen seventy six. Oakland raiders offensive. Line ben. rothlisberger is a sitting target back there in today's game. When you have to move to quarterback you have to be mobile unless you have the brain of a. Tom brady and genetics about tom brady. And the tb twelve of. Tom brady and offensive line like The buccaneers half to keep him upright ben rothlisberger and the way he is right now. What his arm is right now i. I don't know exactly how was arm. Strength is going to get better. I mean isn't it the farther you get in the season you know. You start accumulating injuries and some itchy always and some annoying type of injuries. That will stunt any type of progress of your body. feeling better. will ben rothlisberger arm is this. Strength is at this level right now and we're only week three into the nfl season. What the hell is it gonna look like in four months but they held it will look like in a week. Fourteen fifteen sixteen. All of a sudden he's gonna turn back to the big ben of. I dunno eight ten years ago after the pittsburgh steelers. What are we doing here. Where are we going here. And if you're the pittsburgh steelers pittsburgh steelers fans think about the steelers organization and think about that coach and then thing about the culture and what that could do for the shawn watson bringing him in. Think about what that can do now. When do we make this move. Who knows but again rothlisberger continues to play like this again. The steelers defense is great but they can't overcome that offense that played against cincinnati. Are you assuming that it's going to get better with time. Barring injury the offensive line she get better. Harris should adapt more Once he plays more getting used to the speed and everything of the nfl but yet still. There's no break last in case of emergency as far as the quarterback concerned it's going to be able to turn around the fortunes of the pittsburgh steelers on offense. You'll be counting on rothlisburger to do that. All right if you steal. I'm just saying. I don't know why they don't inquire i don't know why that hasn't become more of a talking. Point is because of the sacredness of ben rothlisberger. What he's meant for the organization that if it'd be blasted mr talk about benching ben rothlisberger especially for someone with the legal situation and problems with the shawn watson..

"Have sneaky big news coming out of pittsburgh. This is bad and it. Serious steelers superstar linebacker. Tj what is declining to practice. This has been getting very little attention. He's been sitting out since the start of camp wants to contract the steelers having given him one and it's almost impossible to quantify just how good this guy is. He comes off a season in which he led the league with fifteen sacks he had the best pass rush win rate sport meaning. He beat his blocker within two and a half seconds. So he's a superstar. This is a guy. many people are being. It'd be the defensive. Mvp and jeff. Can you explain because again. This is not getting as much attention as i think it should be. Exactly what it is going on there will let me explain why to you just mentioned. Tj watt has been sitting out. he actually hasn't and that's what makes this. Such a weird scenario. Is that because of the fines that players face for a holdout now mandated by the players or not sitting in essentially so he's been going through practices in individual drills but then sitting out team drills and there was sort of. I think there's lingering expectation that that would change once the regular season arrived. It hasn't now mike. Tomlin is scheduled to address the media today. Maybe we'll get some more clarity on what it would take if the team perhaps plans to suit them up anyway on sunday even though he's in team but no doubt a fascinating situation with this added layer the steelers on the fact. They do new deals with players during the regular season. So this doesn't get done before sunday. We're in new territory when it comes to the pittsburgh steelers and negotiations with players.

They were way too prevalent and he led the league. That's not a category. You want to lead the league in whatsoever. A lot of fans and media have already discounted number eighteen and mentally moved on from him but not tyreek hill. Over the chiefs you'll superstar. Tyreek hill had around fourteen drops last year. If you combine the regular season with the postseason you're going to get fourteen johnson after being benched in buffalo responded in a positive manner and was perfect afterwards so we can't forget that but the fact remains that a repeat of last year's drought fest will really hindered johnson's career so the receiver really definitely will be under the microscope and has to be at the crossroads this early. This means he really needs to have a almost perfect season.

"The year is two thousand eleven. The event super bowl forty-five the pittsburgh steelers versus the green bay packers. Aaron rodgers was mvp. Christina aguilera sang the national anthem. The black eyed peas performed the halftime show in truly fergus. Fashion it was peak. Two thousand ten's in every way but the biggest moment of the event was an epic two minute commercial titled born of fire better known by its catchphrase imported from detroit as marshall eminem. Mathers drives a chrysler. Two hundred through darkly lit detroit streets and an instrumental version of his song. Lose yourself plays in the background. A gritty male voice growls. What does a town.

It's the hottest fires that make the hardest steel and hard work and conviction and the know how that runs generations deep in every last one of us that we. That's our story now.

Eminem mathers parks chrysler outside. Detroit's fox theater inside a black choir. Ads their voices to the music from the stage as marshall walks down the isle onstage. The rapper turns the cameron. Says this is the motor city and this is what we do. The what we do was clear. Detroit has always been the center of american car manufacturing. But how did the city get to the point of needing a super bowl ad to sell itself. What was the helen. Back referenced in the ad and what was the story written in the papers. It was false then.

They gotta do the smart move, and they have to pick the offensive line and I know it's it's a doll pick. But if we really look back at last year and see what happened once the offensive lineman start to go down Play of the whole offense started to fall apart. Not just the running game, but the passing game. I think it just all fell apart. But I think we have to go the offensive lineman and I know if not, your hairs were there they might think about doing it. I think the best offensive lineman available should be picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers this year. Okay, Well, thank you, Bobby for calling up from area I agree with you when I look at need offensive line edge Russia running back Not in that order. I would go opposite. Running back off offensive line. Daniel is calling from South Carolina Daniel, you are CBS Sports radio. J. R. How are you Amazing? What's up? I wanted to say Well, first off, I do agree with the previous color pop, but I wanted to say something a little else. I do want to say that the Steelers this speaks to the kind of what you were. Talking about a second ago and the guards to their organizational stability. There's only a couple of teams that you like you do trust going in that, you know, this is a spot that has a legacy in the culture. And is in more less responsible hands. And because for that reason, the Steelers have a little bit more of a luxury. Then some other teams if they were to say to pick a quarterback. Which I'm not suggesting that they do. But it's only because Robert, What do you think? Well, I don't want you to get cut off. We're gonna have to hit commercial in a second. What would you do in the first round if you with steel is quickly Would pick the best offensive line or the best running back if he's that much higher on my boards in my life. Okay, Well, I want to disagree with that. Daniel. Thank you for calling from South Carolina. You know, the Steelers are solid organization. You can trust him. This isn't a war began franchise. This is not Vegas. Thistles, the J. R sport Bree Show here on CBS Sports Radio. We're gonna talk about a franchise that might trade their star wide receiver here on CBS.

What do you think of a the the readmission of josh dobbs With the black and goal. I like it. I think it really for people who want a quarterback hauling out the best news. I think i think it's more than anything. Vote of confidence in the guys they have. You wanna fourth quarterback for camp and josh dobbs in my opinion is the right kind of quarterback to push a dwayne haskins. He's not going to match. Dwayne haskins talent with the questions on dwayne haskins. Aren't does he have talent questions are you know. Where's his head in the game. What's his Level what's he like in the locker room. You know you're talking leadership and you're talking. You know the love of the game sitting in the film room watching the film breaking stuff down understanding the offense all these things. Those are josh dobbs strengths. Just odd isn't the greatest passer but he does that to the point that he's you know a guy. Ben rothlisberger likes because he can rely on him so to me. He's an insurance policy. Should dwayne haskins causing any problems and they have to get rid of. It has to cut ties with him. And he's also the kind of guy to plush dwayne haskins in the in the film room kind of be that guy who's like you know try and keep up your kid like let's go. It's it's time for you to learn this. It's time for you really. It's it's your what third season you know. You need to have this stuff down So i think josh dobbs is actually the perfect addition to push him and honestly if he sticks around. He's someone bent likes having around.

Mahomes to have surgery to fix turf toe
"Were talking about Patrick Mahomes undergoing surgery turf toe. And we started talking about this about three hours ago, and we were just going around the room going. Do we know exactly what a turf toe is? Because it gets it gets thrown around a lot and remember when dealing Sanders was with us at the Super Bowl when he took off his sock, and he showed us that toe That was turf toe that never healed whether he had surgery on it or nod Jack Lambert, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker, I think had turf toe and it stayed with him the rest of his career, so we thought You know what? Let's bring in somebody who knows what they're talking about. A former NFL offensive lineman won a Super Bowl with Washington a Harvard trained orthopedic doctor, mark addicts and good to have you back on here, Doc. So Do you want us to tell you what we think Turf toe is and then you could probably correct us on this. That'd be great. Let's see what you guys got. Let's see how good you are. All right. I'll start with you, Paulie. What do you think your toe is like a ligament sprain in the toe that hampers an athlete from pushing off like sprinting like running for two. You got a definition for church to one's toe was so severely sprained from the pounding on the torture that it does something. What kind of disconnects Tito from the other toes and needs to be surgically fix a snap back into place. All right, Seaton It is an injury that when, uh, say like wide receivers are going to get their second foot in and they drag it along the left their toes on the turf, and then it gets hurt like that. No, I did not. I did not even look at it that way. Yes, my club, So I thought it was a rug burn style injury from any time she goes on the worse when you're playing with your kids of rug burn, but I do believe it's out. Now ligament underneath your toe that connects to the foot. Okay, let's let's bring in. Doc and Doc. What exactly is Turf toe. Well, I think I think example one wins the ligament injury so it could be a ligament injury. Or it could be an injury to the planter plate, which is almost like a Cartlidge thing That's on the bottom of it, So it is the big toe joint. And it rarely. Is it an injury? There were quite a surgery. The bass majority of players don't require surgery in the NFL there have been about there was a study that was done that had about 30 guys with serfdom. Injuries that were pretty severe, and only about 10% ended up requiring some surgery. Deon Sanders did require surgery. Deon Sanders Strip toe injury did end his career. Essentially, he stuck around for a couple more years, but never really was the same. Antonio Gates had it had a pretty bad turf toe had surgery in 2000 and eight and played Many years was very productive after that injury in surgery, So generally speaking guys, too, Okay. I think John was as his foot with a test was an extreme case. Didn't Mahomes play the Super Bowl with a Tauron ligament? Certainly did. I mean, I In other words, when you have a tip toe injury there, three grades break one. Great, too Great three. It's the same for almost anything. Great one, just a few of the fibers or tourney. Great to a bunch more. Tauron. Great three. It's completely disrupted. So for someone to need surgery generally, there's got to be a little bone chip. It's in the joint or the toe has to be somewhat unstable, which would tell you that that ligament tear had to be pretty significant.

Watson Wants Houston Texans Trade - No Matter The New Coach
"Be enemy. Who watson apparently liked and wanted at the beginning the talk. Now there's nothing better talk narrows it. The shaun watson is doesn't care who the head coaches that he's going to ask out and he wants to be traded now. This is the fact that i've tried to say speculation until he says something. But there's enough insight from these people who do their job morton schefter and and rappaport and all the people that it's this is not fake. It's obviously real people. Think laking this to these. I don't have any idea. But all of them have their sources. It's definitely there's there's no way it's anybody. But sean somebody connected to sean agent. A a buddy whatever it is we everybody has somebody that go to for this. And this is obviously real. The question is how real is the trade. How real would it be. And sean again. The texans on a on a give him all that money which he deserved. But putting a no trade clause in for twenty five year old and an and now if he decides to drop the no-trade clause he can decide where he goes. So let's say it was the pittsburgh steelers who wanted offer but it was less offer than the. Let's say the chicago bears and he says i'm not going to either one and i'm not going to be here so now you've been he'd that the only thing he does control about this he can hold out but he can also pigeonhole you into who you're going to trade with which may cost you less. Because they know the sean while you may get less for him because shawn watson can lead you down all six different teams and lead you down to. Here's the to. it's either here. i'm not going. And i'm not showing up now. You can call the bluff and say we're not trading you there for that and cause they're not we're not we're going to get somewhat close to equal value which is going to be impossible. But then you're going to have to hold out if you wanna play that kind of hard ball or less. Just gonna go in and say you know what we'll give you away for a cheaper price. Let the fact that he's unhappy as obviously real so. It's something that has to be discussed now. I'm not going to sit here and speculate will go into the jetsons you i don't know and none of us do and i don't know i still think it'd be stupid to trade him. But if you play hardball you and you're playing that okay. Are you going to hold out. You're not call the bluff.

The SP in Chicago. It was It was more of the same from George. Really? I mean, I think there aren't good answers. You know what When All the fans are mad in your co said yesterday. Well, what do you guys expect? Maybe you're right. The answers aren't answers. We like they're not good, because they don't really have any right. They can't tell the quarterback they're gonna get they can take it to have a couple of plans. A couple contingency plans is they start moving forward, depending upon what happens, I very much doubt they have the right mindset. Who put the proper football people in place to run that side of the organization. Anyway. Look, history has his born that out to this point, and we've gone through the stats or the data lot for everybody in the last couple of days. Since did go laugh instead, since it was fired in 1982, and that's sort of the last like kind of vestige from the Alice clan, right? I mean, because We've talked about the sun Mugsy passing in the late seventies. The old man was you know it past about 1983 79 for McGee 83 for pop of that They were the ones that brought Jim Finks and Jerry Venecia and didn't go back and so once did go left and 92, in which Officially sort of the McCaskey era began. You're not talking about nearly 30 years and seven playoff appearances. Three quarters of the time The Bears have missed the playoffs. They have one playoff win. I'm sorry. They have three playoff wins since 2000. They don't have any in the last decade. I mean, every every bit of relevant data tells you that they just don't know what they're doing, and they might not metal. George says. We don't meddle in football, but your height you and Ted are hiring people to make football decisions. And I don't think they know. I don't think they know what they should be looking for. I don't think they know how to identify the right people. And that's the problem with this organization. Quite frankly, they just don't stack up with the teams that we should measure them against. The teams like the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots, They do not stack up with them period. So it's disappointing and I don't think George has good answers. But he did come on. He really tried to butter him up early. You know, we talked about Sylvie's cancer diagnosis and always recovered and everybody's pulling for him on my goal, boys, But Sylvie didn't take the setting traps and just dropped. The guy would be like, Oh, man. Now I can't go after George. He's he's You know, you could I don't know. It's tough, but then he takes a shot at Waddell now, of course Georgian. Tom, Go way back! Way back. Listen to this If I could offer by way of analogy, your broadcast partner Tom Waddell. When he got into the profession he's in now. I think you would be the first to tell you You struggled. Geez, George. He's like, That's it. They're going after me. I'm going after that way. Wiles response that I twitch when that was going out with was you take the back way in back. Little good, kind of like scratches House offer this up. Anybody want to listen to the first two months of Mac, You're growing hair. The afternoon's alone when you just started, But we just started. You want to listen like May 2000 and one in June of 2000 won Well, that's I don't know how we stayed on the air. I'll be. I'll be as Frank and his honest that I can It was brutal, at times, brutal, dysfunctional like I went to school for this iced. I still think now, but I mean, I certainly start back then, like I mean that with the right way all stink. When we first got there, you could point to a fact. Like okay time He struggled early on, but that does not have anything to do with what you got going on being better. It's like, Well, you know, I could sit here and tell you that the sun does come up in the East and because of that. Our guys were trying to do a pretty good job. It's not related to each other. He was making a comparison about pace and Ryan and Ryan pace of magnetic kind of growing on the job and look at models grown on the job. Yeah, well, get better, that here's the problem with that. Here's the silliness with that. You don't grow on the job. You grow on the job that you've had before at the other company. They grew on the job, and we're ready to take that next step was to grow on the job. When you're an assistant. When you're there, you're scholar itself. Then when you get hired to do the main job, the big job You're supposed to already know what the hell you're doing. You're not still growing. Now you continue to learn because learning process goes on forever. You never stop learning car. Never. OK, you could go ahead. Say that, but know when they get there. They've already had two bit overqualified for the position. They had to put them in a position to get the big to make those big decisions that need to be made here is George on the organization trying to pick a quarterback. A Zafar is finally got. This has got Sylvie's question. That's good here. A Zafar is finding the quarterback George the list that Ryan Paces acquired. It's Brian Hoyer. Matt Barkley mic'd Robiskie. Mark Sanchez, Mike Lennon, Chase Daniel Tyler Bray and Nick Foles. When I read you those names why you pull Brian picked is kind of fit here forever. Quarterback A lot of second. You were breaking up there a little bit mark, but I think you said with that lineup of names of quarterbacks Right. I said Why? Why do you believe Ryan Pace is going to get this right? We think he's grown in the job. Yes, there have been mistakes along the way. But everybody makes mistakes. If I could offer by way of analogy, your broadcast partner, Tom Waddell, when he got into the profession he's in now. I think it would be the first to tell you You struggled. Um, but he got better Still, I am And the people that brought him on had faith in him. And stuck with.

So you live in cleveland. I live in cleveland. I live about five miles away from the browns training facility in berea. Ooh so listen you are right at the heart of everything you cover the browns. I want to understand what does winning this first. Playoff game. twenty six years doing it against is truly hated. Enemy in the pittsburgh steelers. What does it do for a city after two decades of being like generally humiliated. How would you describe the energy. Jake in cleveland right now. Yeah i would describe it as one of the greatest moments in the history of the city. And i'm not just talking about football. I'm talking about all moments. If you talk to people who grew up your they would say that sunday one of the happiest days of their lives sunday night after that win you could hear fireworks going off around cleveland. I don't know who has fireworks in the middle of january but people have them. Apparently people were driving up and down. Their streets warns it was a very exciting night. For cleveland and one that they've been waiting for for twenty six years and really forever considering how dominated they have been by the steelers over the years. Yes i'm looking at a list of things. Actually jake that happened in nineteen ninety four when the browns won their last playoff game. Turns out the number one on the billboard charts. Was the sign by ace of base. Is that all sound right to you. In terms of how did all of this has been feeling. Yeah i've been doing this all year checking what songs were number one at a time. The browns headache milestone. I know that when they were foreign one for the first time since nineteen ninety. Four when bill belichick was still the head coach. That boys to men actually had the number one song on the billboard. Hot one hundred. That kind of gives you a little context of how long it's been since the browns were at this point. I mean they're starting quarterback for example wasn't even alive to rewind to a little bit more recently the week leading up to this playoff win over the steelers it was. I don't even know how to explain it. Other than just like total chaos. Breaking news into i ate out of cleveland browns coach. Kevin stefanski has tested positive for covid. Nineteen according to our adam schefter to other coaches and players dealing with kobe related issues. They're closing their facilities fellas. They ultimately competed with kevin stefanski in his basement. Watching the game not on the sidelines. So what is this week been like as it relates to cove it. They had a practice on wednesday which was weird to see because they haven't had a practice or very many of them not even just last week for the last couple of weeks. I mean go back to the game in week. Sixteen when they traveled to play the jets. They had to delay their flight because they had a positive test from one of their players. Then they had to put their entire receiving core as high risk close contacts on the reserve covid nineteen list. They finally get to newark. They stay the night there. They were not able to do a walk through before leaving on saturday so they held a walk through on the fifth floor. The parking garage that morning adjacent to their hotel really from that moment until now it is been total. Chaos i mean they have had almost every single day since then. Something chaotic happen where they'd had to adjust. They went the entire week last week. Almost without a practice until getting one in friday they finally got kevin stefanski their head coach back in the building on thursday. It has been a bizarre couple of weeks. But to this team's credit into kevin's stefanski credit. They have never panicked. They have never felt sorry for themselves and they have been able to overcome it. Which is the most impressive thing. When this team given their lack of success in the past in the way as they've come together their ability to overcome different curve balls that have been thrown their way.

Well, that is the million dollar question that nobody has a great answer, too, because what we saw through the regular season was they Did have these contingency plans in place that required a lot of creative rescheduling. It's very much unclear right now, if any of those same contingency plans would be in place for the post season this week. Specifically if the Browns Steelers game couldn't be played, could they push a playoff game to it? Tuesday afternoon? Then you start getting into all these questions about competitive balance. And would it be fair to have Team. Whoever won that game have to play their divisional round game on a short week when their opponent would have had an entire week to rest and prepare or what might happen if a marquee player a guy like Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes, What if he were all of a sudden unavailable because of covert. Would they make these teams play on the way that they made? For example, the Denver Broncos play a game without all of their quarterbacks during the regular season? Would they be willing to do that to one of their marquee players? Marky Mark, it's in one of their biggest games of the year. Lindsay Jones covers the NFL for the athletic.

"I think the professional tombstone for Al Michaels will say, Do you believe in miracles? But you've done so much football and we're here talking about football. Watch the football game that jumps to mind when when we When when we look back on Al Michaels career doing football, which I feel like you've been doing literally all of my life. What is the game that you will say? Yeah, that I did that game, and that was The one that I remember the most. Favorite game, I think would be the 2008 Super Bowl when the Arizona Cardinals met the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona had been blown out for the end of the season. I think 50 to nothing in the game at New England, and somehow they wind up in the playoffs. And then somehow they wind up getting to the Super Bowl. And that was the team. Everybody saying, what are they doing here? And I love you know, I always shot my partner, Cris Collinsworth, who was on football night, the pregame show during those years. Who said This is the worst team to ever get the postseason, he said at the beginning of postseason, of course, and they run the table in the wild card, the divisional and they're not going to Philadelphia in the NFC championship game they get there. And then there there, folks here they have a chance to take the lead going into halftime and Kurt Warner throws a pass and James Harrison interception and runs 100 yards at the end of the half a linebacker running 100 yards down the sideline. I think I said he's running through the entire state of Arizona, there's about six or seven missed tackles. The clock is running out and he gets into the end zone if he doesn't get into the end zone like Clock runs that became didn't take a field goal. So instead of Arizona having the lead if they get a touchdown, that pistol has got the lead and they're up by 11 at that point, And then there were two really good gold line stands by Bye, Arizona to keep the game as a one possession game, and then they score and then Fitzgerald gets free with 2.5 minutes to go. And Arizona has the lead. But 2.5 minutes ago, you know the team that a lot of people thought was the worst thing. You ever get the postseason. Is going to win the Super Bowl and, of course, then rock bliss. Berger leads the fielders back down. The field converts every third down play. Santonio Holmes makes an unbelievable catch. If you look at the Sports Illustrated cover, there were three cardinals around homes. He's able to make the catch. Stay in bounds, and I think our office, Berger told us the next year he was like the fourth choice and then it was just a wild and crazy game and the other thing I will always remember. Mike is I didn't know it at the time and wouldn't know until April, But that was the the the end of my seventh year with John Madden and that turned out to be John's last game. People, he said. He's done. I've had enough. I'm out of here. So Yeah, that's that was my favorite football memories. I remember it. Well, we'll be watching Sunday. Al have congratulations. By the way.

Thank you for the time today and let's do this again as soon as we can, and will tell some war stories. Thank you out.

We're getting word that Tommy Lasorda has died. Tommy Lasorda, the legendary manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the most beloved figures, I think you could say in the history of American sports. Died at the age of 93.

Last game in a bear's uniforms could be Drew Brees his last game ever. And what's the latest with two Shawn Watson? Is this thing becoming more likely? We'll preview all the NFL playoffs. The Bulls are playing the Lakers. There's lots of fun ahead. Wattles going to drink with your co and Carmen while watching the Bears game will tell us about that. We're up in five minutes on ESPN 1000 College football. It's the game you wake up early on Saturdays. For even though kickoff isn't until seven.

It's the game where anything can and will happen as long as you have the drive, because college football is the game.

It's a in certainly I guess a right hander. And all of sudden, Pete was in the lineup. So that's why you had tickets, so you had to scramble to get tickets. It was no problem getting tickets because nobody I think we scrambled and got a ticket. But nobody was. I tell everybody. There were probably 15,000 people in that ballpark at the beginning of the game. And his word traveled. That he was called, was potentially gonna break the record.

"It was kind of like, Oh, What is this? When the team starts off that hot, they gotta finish the deal because we talked about the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Kansas City Chiefs. Ad nauseam about playing each other in a F C championship game or American football conference, depending on how you want to let her the lock. Read it, Uh, It is now all of a sudden. It looks like it could be Baltimore Buffalo. In the NFC championship game facing the Kansas City Chiefs. Thank you. I don't know. Man it feels like the Steelers have are kind of like hobbling their way into the playoffs is in the last four or five games, and they're really not having a run game. It did feel like they start up really high, but it feels like they're just kind of fizzling out. When when did things that I get really bothered about? I don't understand. At the beginning of the year, Jeff Darlington, who was really good at his job, came on our show and was comparing Patrick Mahomes to Michael Jordan. Steam at full strength. Has only lost one game like I don't count the last game where guys didn't play you have guys like Travis Kelsey, who finished top five and receiving yards and receiving touchdowns is a tight in people were raving about him. You have Tyree kill will finish. Top two and receiving TDs. Like all these weapons getting lay beyond Bill, people will talk about this team going undefeated. Why does it feel like this team gets a pass? Why isn't there pressure on the scene when people talk about them going undefeated? I don't understand how they just kind of roll underneath the radar. We don't give them pressure for considered to be a team that people would talk about winning multiple multiple, several Championships World championship. I don't think there's no, I don't think there's major pressure on them because well, because it's it's almost like a given. That they're going to be in a F C championship game and from there They'll probably get to the Super Bowl. It's there's no The Pittsburgh Steelers. Came out of nowhere was big being got back to 11 and old. And then all of a sudden they got real tight and started losing games in Cleveland and Baltimore started closing the gap in the division, and it felt like they was getting ready to lose the division because they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals. And then all of a sudden it became one of those. Oh, watch out moments. And so because of how was built up Put them in a position where We just decided. Okay. This team is the one team that can challenge The Kansas City Chiefs. It's all of that pressure. I understand that you could Say that patch Mahomes is Michael Jordan or whatever you wanna call him. Yes, he's won a Super Bowl and he's won an M V P and could have won two of each, but When you look at it from last year. They almost didn't even win the Super Bowl. But he had a catch. What have we wouldn't be talking about? If you marry in Sanders if Garoppolo connects with the Million Sanders, we're probably not even talking about Kansas City winning the Super Bowl, and I know it's so what if it didn't happen? I get all of that super But if it would have We wouldn't be having this conversation. But if the Steelers lose to them, I mean, they're still is losing the bills of the Colts, or you're gonna be you're gonna be shocked. We should be shot. No, I'm not. No, I would not would not be shocked. Exactly. Okay, but if the cheese lost it a Ravens that Italians would you be shocked? Not based on the way to Ravens or playing right now, I wouldn't be shocked. Okay, last two things, I would say. Conversely, if the Steelers have the most pressure, considering what's going on with the Browns, you could actually argue they have the least amount of pressures. That's an interesting little Ted Ted there and answer Jay's point, Obviously, with the chief's having the by Jay I do believe next week when the Chiefs play somebody. Those story lines you're talking about will creep up all the one possession wins all of that stuff. It's just that they're not playing this weekend. So there probably isn't a ton of attention exactly on them. Just my thoughts on the way. But a 25 year old quarterback. Thank you. We'll get to the national football Conference a little bit later. On the way could a 25 year old quarterback that's just entering his prime? Actually be on the trade block and available will dig into that after J has this from straight talk.

"Still working virtually how do you prepare for your first playoff game in almost two decades against your hated rival, the Steelers? Virtually Do you have seriously? Maybe do it tender, Clueless did and receded receded, gins and our shard Diggins and and go drag racing. Maybe maybe real right near the facility. Just see how fashion get your car But first the nitrous oxide in there. I don't think that Zach could do that. And they did do that. But I don't think that's helping you in your preparation. Beat the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. So the Browns? Yeah, they be blind probably helps they played in the last week of the season. Um and I know that impeded the Steelers have a different team out on the on the field, but they're ready. They played that team. As well early this season, so I think it helps that they're in your division because you're more familiar with him. If it was a team yet you never play. Then that might be a little more difficult, But I think this probably helps them. The question is, is what he misses two fancy lake. You don't have it all mapped out, right? They're gonna have the game plan on my doubt, and they'll have ah, into the offensive coordinator. I'm sorry. I don't know his name. Because that's the Penske, basically, uh But don't have a game plan, but the really good coaches, the ones that are just during the game. They see something Go. Let's attack that. Let's get this. Let's go there. This is work and let the minute that's what Kyle does so well, mean starts building on plays and building on plays, and he sees stuff and And and and get some mismatches he wants because football even though it doesn't look like it. Because there's so much chaos going on out there. It's a lot like basketball where you try to get some mismatches. Like when you watch the Warriors play against the Portland Trailblazers. I could guarantee you every damn time in this cantor's on the court. They're gonna run pick and roll involving Penis can or should or pin down involving in his candor indicator will be involved every time defensively. Because he is a liability. And Steve knows that. So they just go at him and make him make him make a decision. Make him work. You know, that's just with with football. Can I put this guy in the slot? Can I put this running back somewhere? Gonna get him matched up on on this safety or this linebacker? Can I get this wide receiver matched up on this DB instead of that D be Can I put it in motion? Will that help me do it? So I mean, it's about mismatches and trying to find them and trying to exploit him. Well, you can have your game plan's going in. But guess what? They're gonna have game plans, too, and they know what you want to do so if they take it away Now, where do you go? We can't just cause to fancy. Resume him up and say, Yo, we got some issues here. What do you think? That's where you That's where you miss that sort of that sort of stuff. That's why these guys, their head coaches, and it was. It was really good this year as they understand stuff like that. And they can, you know, they see it like the really good coaches, like Got it. Okay, I see it, okay? You know other coach? They're like, Well, let me watch it on film. We watched on film too late By then. I need you to know now with the hell's going on those of the great coaches because how many How many people do you think that game plan it come up with something? I bet you with the whole lot of them. They could do that. But how many of them can take that game plan and go? You know what? This isn't quite right. Let's do this is to this. Oh, found something. Those of the guys that you want leading the ship. The most important relationship in football is the relationship between coach and quarterback. I would think that the relationship between Baker Mayfield and Kevin's too fancy since they have had some success. Great success this year. Especially when your break great. No night Cleveland Browns curve. Um, that relationship is very, very important. So they kind on on your theme, Tom. When things start to go awry, and Baker may feel needs to talk to Kevin's too fancy or chemist advance can use to talk to Baker Bay Field and they can't do it. How does that affect Baker Mayfield and how will that affect the Cleveland Browns offense? I would think it would be. I don't know how they get out of this. You know? How did they get out of this problem? Because as We've talked about it. I'm sure people have seen Stefanski can have no contact whatsoever. They can't have him on speakerphone. He can't be tapped into the communications system or anything of that nature. They can't have him upon face time on top of the Gatorade cooler on an iPad or Microsoft surface. Whatever the face time equivalent, they use Microsoft. It had none of that. Kevin's the fancy, go sit and watch the Browns and the Steelers like about 28 million other Americans and Baker Mayfield. Whoever he's gonna be in communication with, you know whether it's getting to play into his headset or talking to her dad during timeouts or talking to a guy. Well, they Brown's defense. Is on the field. That guy had chemist Irfan Ski, and I would think that's gonna be a problem. Well, they're gonna miss the fancy. There's no question about it, but they're gonna miss that guard is much arm or I'll tell you that. But Tonio is like one of the easily one of the best cards and pro football. And supposedly, he's like kind of the emotional leader of that offensive line. It's a kind of a young line. They get the Alabama rookie at left tackle. But you know that you got the Steelers and they sat Cam Heyward last week and they sat TJ what they sat pound seeing all those guys, you know, fresh So but then you also the Browns with a bunch of guys coming off the covert list, including tens award. In the Browns. You know, everybody expects the Browns to kind of lose this game because it's the Steelers,.

I want to see the of continuous blueprint of the same players being drafted year after year. Time after time. Even when you add guys in free agency, they all fit the same mode. So you know what the players look like before. They even become part of the Denver Broncos and give you an example. We could talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we can talk about their offensive lineman. We know that they're big. We know that they're quick and they're not really massive man who stay in place. You have to be able to move out of the blue print. There has been going on for a long time, right so We need a blueprint. We have to have a blueprint of what these players like. You can't get a guy who is a second round defensive lineman who can't play on the interior of the defensive line. If you don't play a 43 defense in the 34 defense, you need to have a big style guy. So way get threw out some of the You know some of the selections that we've had in the past because guys were good college players.

It's a disappointment. But this is who we knew and thought they were. Yes, is very disappointing When you look at the A F C North. You have three teams that won 11 games and they they've all qualified for the playoffs. And you have one team that lost 11 games that to tell you how far you are from turning this thing around. That's uh, that's a big exclamation point right there. There. There's no doubt about it, and now the postseason does begin. Draft free agency. What does this team do? And Tim covering the club for 12 years? On that final day of the season. I always looked around the locker room. Looked at guys and Hey, A whole bunch of them aren't going to be around next year and as a former player as a player at the time, we kind of had a filling and understanding of who would and who wouldn't be in some players control their own. Destiny. If you will, and some players, it was OK. Are they going to get rid of this guy? Is this guy gonna go? You know, sometimes as a player, Ridge is happy to get the hell out of there. I mean, you you want to go? You need a fresh new start. S o it But one thing we have to caution as we approach and we look for hope. We have to go back throughout the season job Borough gave us hope. He gave us excitement. But he didn't give us wins. You have to build around him in order to achieve those winds, and you know there's some factors that you have to have luck and lack of injuries on your on your side. The ball has to bounce your way to the field goal. Instead of going outside the goalpost and goes through the goal post. You got to have those things but for the most part The reason there's several reasons this season has been such a disappointment. It's been unprecedented times. We know that but the reason it's if we didn't know way set in here the first week, two weeks, three weeks, we didn't know what the hell right What's the identity of this team? How do they win Football games? And we question and it's not our job to question everything but way were. We were scratching our hands a lot of time trying to wondering, Who are they? What are they? What's the plan of action, of course of action that they're trying to execute? To be consistent enough to win and we never, They never found their footing and we obviously the reason we didn't understand it is because it wasn't there. And on the opposite side with the Baltimore Ravens. We know what their identity is They they averaged What 233 yards rushing the last four weeks. Today they go for 404. They just maul you and they've got a quarterback. That is, he's the he's a ghost. He's he's invisible. You're grabbing for him and you grab air. He is electric. He's quick. He's fast. He's incredible, and I was gonna ask you if Risto whole Whitney of quarterbacks in this league, the Josh Palin's the Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady Well, go on and on and you listen, Lamar Jackson there even a Patrick Mahomes. Who would you take? Well, I think he's dynamic. However, I think that question can be asked on Lee, if I knew the direction What we talked about. If I knew who we were what we were trying to build if we were trying to build and let's give credit at a lot of credit, where credit is due, the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens Saw this dynamic player as a rookie on film, and he went into the lab and he designed an offense around him that we'd never seen before. The offense that was built on three. Not one, Not two, but three tight ends. Remember that position that used to be in the National Football League? Yeah, three tight ends. People wasn't prepared For then. On top of that, you put a guy that can beat you with his feet. His arm and his mind. That's a lethal combination. So when you say that I think I would start with Patrick Mahoney and I think the reason why, because he's.

You know, this was all behind closed doors with the NFL Players Association when he gave this information about Rudolph using that word, So one of the important pieces I think is, you know, he never wanted Any of that information to come out. I don't know if that changes the way people feel about it, but he didn't want to have to deal with it publicly and then a kind of simmer down. And then last week, he did an interview with ESPN, where he went into pretty much extreme detail about him using that word. Very interesting interview. Do you have some clubs?
