Hour 3 of A&G features...
From the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty Show.
Since the Israel Hamas war started, Chris Ray says the terror threat is at a whole nother level, with a number of terror groups, including ISIS and al Qaida, using social media to call for attacks, including right here in the US. The DOJ also seeing a spike in threats against the Muslim community and a stunning increase in threats aimed at Jewish.
Americas since October seventh.
Ray is calling on Congress to renew a law that allows the FBI to conduct surveillance on suspected terrorists overseas. That law has set to expire at the end of the year. Race has given the threats now is not the time to let that.
Happen, FBI Director Ray saying he's never seen all lights blinking like this at once, and Israeli worried about a terrorist attack or that sort of thing. Now, the other part of this is and this is a real problem, and I don't know what to think about it. He testified all of this on the same day that he's begging Congress to renew the seven oh two authority, that's the name of the code or statute or whatever. The FBI is wanting Congress to renew the seven oh two authority that they got after nine to eleven to track down information, tap phones, look at communication, that sort of stuff on foreigners, which sometimes then brings in Americans American citizens, to try to figure out if there's going to be a terrorist attack. We did that after nine to eleven. It was supposed to expire at the end of this year. You got a bunch of Democrats and Republicans, I mean some of the heavyweight Democrats yesterday who are leaning against renewing this because they think the FBI has abused it and hasn't been honest about their use of it. And plenty of Republicans saying that that they are using this seven h two authority. You know, Okay, somebody we don't like in the United States communicated with somebody in another country. Now we can claim we need to go after that person in another country, but we're really wanting to look at the person here in the United States, and that the FBI abuses that Christopher Ray is saying, and he might be all of this might be true at the same time, they might be abusing it and the lights are blinking like they've never been blinking before for a terrorist attack, and the FBI does need this to make sure another terror attack doesn't happen. All these could be true at the same time, which is the problem.
So what do Americans think about this topic, or people living in America? Why don't you pull the hundreds of Chinese nationals who've just walked across the border, the hundreds of Somali nationals who've walked across the border, the hundreds of folks from other countries that are are sworn enemies Syria, Iran, whatever, who've just walked across our border. Ask them whether they think there's a terrorist threat.
Yeah. So, Christopher Ray said it would be dangerous and irresponsible and reckless to not keep this seven h two authority around so that they can stay a step ahead of foreign actors located out outside the United States. But Senator Chris Coons, who's a Democrat Delaware, said he'd not yet made up his mind and asked if Ray if there could be a more narrow reform so it's not so easy for the FBI to abuse it. Marco Rubio Republican, Mark Warner Democrat, leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee, proposed a bill that would prohibit database queries on US citizens that are designed to find evidence of a crime without a court order, so it would also limit it. Dick Durbin, another Democrat, said that there's no question that seven oh two was a critical tool for correct for collecting intelligence, but he would encourage significant reforms. So, I don't know. He seems like he got a lot of high ranking Democrats and Republicans who think this is just too much power for the FBI.
Well, I'm encouraged by the last several things you said. It sounds like people from both parties doing the hard work of balancing those two truths. Yeah, this is important in a dangerous time. And yeah, the FBI has a tendency to abuse the power it's given, as does the NSA and the CIA and all of our other spooks. That's why they've got to be, you know, watched so carefully.
Yeah. So I assume that these people on the various intelligence committees, they get to see this stuff behind the scenes, would tell us if it was bunk. But having the guy come out and say, oh no, this is the scariest time I've ever seen. So you need to renew my power to spy on people. You know, you got to be a little sketical of that, oh, one hundred percent. At the same time, he would probably sit you down and say, listen, you children, this is the scariest time I've ever seen in my life. You have no idea what we're seeing every single day.
I believe that to be true. I think that's probably true. Also, yeah, yeah, in fact, I can perhaps I could guarantee it.
And if you give extraordinary powers to go thement officials, they will abuse them.
Since we're this kind of show, I might as well quote Mike Lee, Utah Republican, who said that during his thirteen years on the committee, he'd pressed multiple FBI directors about civil liberties violations associated with this surveillance program and had been repeatedly given false reassurances about reforms. Every darn one of them has told me the same thing. Don't worry about it. We've got this taken care of, We've got new procedures. It's going to be different. Now, it's never different. You haven't changed. We have no reason to trust you because you haven't behaved in a manner that is trustworthy.
Beautifully said, I'm so reminded of the whole Uh are there bad cops? Yes, of course there are their fund here. Therefore we should defund the police, deep police. If we defunded the police, the cities would look just like the suburbs. I mean, you've got to be an effing moron to think that. Of course we need police, and of course we need to regulate police and call them to account. You know, I Barley got started on the whole standard based grating thing last hour. I've been off more than I could chew in the time. I blame myself. But let me hit you with the idea and the reality of it. You know, we may have to come up with some sort of Thomas Sowell ding, because I refer to him frequently enough. He's you know, for folks who are not familiar with the origin of the Hitler ding. It was suggested by some irresponsible co hosts or members of the team that I referenced the Chancellor of Germany too frequently in making arguments, and so in an effort to draw attention to that, it was decided again by irresponsible Rubes that every time I mentioned.
Adolf Hitler the day you should go off behind the We thought, since Joe mentioned Hitler four times a day, maybe if we had a bell go off all the time, he'd realized perhaps he overplays that.
Card, the H card if you will card.
Well, that again is unfair, it's injudicious, and I resent it. But yeah, I think at Thomas Sowel all the time. I just absolutely love him, intellectual hero. But this standards based grading thing is a perfect example of what he said about the twentieth century. The history of the latter half of the twentieth century is getting rid of what works in favor of what sounds good. So here's the ab Here's this biology teacher in Dublin, California, which is going to institute this standards based grading system, which is, you don't get points for homework, you don't get points for participation, you don't get points for taking quizzes. Everybody learns differently and at different paces. As long as you master the stuff eventually, that's fine. And I on paper that sounds good to me, sounds good a virtually everybody. But again, getting rid of what works in favor of what sounds good. So here's kath Let's see, I scrolled up too far. Here's Catherine, the biology teacher at Dublin High School, who I suspect is a good person. She said that before COVID nineteen, she would have rejected equity grading.
Quote.
What I understand is that the pandemic fundamentally changed me.
She told the school board.
It changed us as kids struggled with remote learning. The old practices we cling to were born in a different era, under different circumstances. It's time to emphasize learning over effort. Prioritizing learning is exactly what equitable grading is. It recognizes the individual journey of every student. It acknowledges that we all learned differently, at our own pace and in various ways.
Well, again, like you said last hour, that last part is obviously true to anybody who has eyes. But what was that first phrase? We need to prioritize learning over effort. I don't understand what that would mean.
Let's see what did she say, Hey, we need.
To prioritize learning. Now, how we get there? I'm fine that different kids do it different ways, but.
Right, sure, of course, again that sounds great, But this is the difference between a liberal and a conservative or a progressive, and a conservative a progressor a progressive. Here's something that sounds good and critically makes them feel enlightened, pitching it and they love that program and never ever stop to ask does it work? Here's the reality. Cody is a different teacher a high school in Phoenix. The school system rolled out standards based grading last year. At first, White Cody liked the sound of the plan, especially the part that emphasized students would get multiple chances to show what they know. Quote, I agree that a student should have more than one chance. We all have busy, crazy lives, so things happen. Once the system was in place, though, the teachers that he quickly soured on it seeing how his students responded ah the idea versus what happens in the real world among humans as a key part of the approach, which is sometimes called evidence based grading, is that homework scores are not counted in the final grade for a class. Instead, like an athlete training for a big game, practice is seen as what it takes to get ready for the final match, and what happens on game day is what matters. Game day consists of tests that measure whether students have mastered the required material like by.
The end of the class.
For students, though, the takeaway was that homework no longer mattered at all.
Of course, I said a teacher, that's what I would have thought if you told me.
If you don't grade it, the students won't do it. Every teacher has had students say is this being graded? If not, they're not going to do it, or they're not going to do it as well.
Well, it's like the classic question we all heard a million times in the classroom. Is this going to be on the test? Because if it's not, I'm ignoring you.
So his approach before.
The change was to focus on project based assignments, but he found less engagement for those with the grading changes. It's teaching to the tests. The assessment is all that matters. Students will find that and they'll gain the system. Many students want to do as little as humanly possible. They want to skate by, he.
Went on to say.
And shocking to me, I know for those of us have a certain mindset, a lot of us this stuff is also obvious. The students mean, I'm sorry. This means the students missed out. On a positive side effect of a stressful homework assignment.
Quote.
Completing homework and meeting deadlines are important life skills that should be fostered at school. There is utility in developing positive study habits and dependability among young people. He since left the school system in part over frustration with the policy, and now teaches overseas.
Well.
You know what I think is lost in this. It just occurred to me, is they're talking about you know, it's not about homework. It's not about quizes, it's not about assignments and participation.
It's about will they.
Learn at the end, it's about the end result. Well, number one, process matters, It matters a lot. Secondly, the end result of school is not the test in school. The end result of school is that child growing up to become an active and valuable participant in our country.
Test is are they ready for adulthood?
And you're pretending that the test is the test. The homework, the participation, the effort, that's the education.
Yeah, I've been This is a very sore point for me because I've been having this conversation and I won't get specific on any of it, but it is amazing how hard it has been for me to get through the point that I don't really care about a high school diploma unless they've learned something. I'm being told that, you know, and we could graduate from high school, but will they have learned anything? Because I don't care about the graduating part. I care about the learning part. And it's amazing. I get a blank stare often like I don't understand what you mean. They would have a diploma, but if you don't know anything, it doesn't matter.
It's difficult to properly state how screwed up our education system is from K through PhD.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's something. Anyway, got a debate tonight. How pointless is this? We got some new up polling that shows you how pointless the debate is. Watch it if you want. If that's what you enjoy, go ahead.
Plus Taylor Swift Times Person of the Year in depth reporting coming up.
I can't believe you said that it's all the way arm Strong and.
The Armstrong and Getty Show.
Well, it was just announced that Ron Decentis, Nikki Haley, Chris Christy, and vivek Ramaswami qualified for tomorrow Night's fourth Republican presidential debate, and the debate will air on the CW Network and News Nation. So if you want to know how good a chance these candidates have, the debate is airing on the CW Network and News Nation. At this point, watching these debates is like watching a middle school play.
It doesn't really matter.
You just hope that they're having fun up there.
All right, that was a good joke. Yeah, that's what I thought.
It was worth it. The juice was worth the squeak for that last year. I hope they're just having fun up there because it's pointless the debate tonight and I'll have to figure.
Out of Hey.
Sorry, very brief breaking political news. Kevin McCarthy's done in the House. He's resigning.
Yeah, I saw that hint yesterday and turned out to be true today. Yeah, he's y'all, I'm out. Yeah, this is an un Most people don't ever want to go backwards. I get that, but uh, he's also going to go somewhere and get rich, you know, the way the way it happens. That's something had a brief period of Speaker of the House got run out for the dumbest of reasons, really, although he angered a whole bunch of people behind the scenes. If you're a jerked enough people, it ain't you know, it's going to come back to haunt you. And his penalty will be living a life of wealth and comfort with no worries and power and and new scrutiny because he'll be out of public the public eye for the rest of his life. So that's just been correct. Anyway, back to the debate, which is tonight. So in theory, the debates were to these people were going to have an opportunity to go after the guy in first place. He didn't show up to the debates, Donald Trump. You know, is that a good move or a bad move? Will America say, no, we don't want somebody who's unwilling to defend themselves. Blah blah blah blah blah. Can they take down Trump? What's the strategy of Asa Hutchinson and some of the other no names I can't even remember to try to bring down Trump? Well, anyway, here's the stat that most sticks out to me. Trump's lead in the national race on the day of the first debate was forty one points. Heading into the fourth debate, he's up by forty eight points, So he's increased his lead over the rest of the field seven points since they started having the debates. So if I'm Donald Trump, I'd say as many as you want, have a few more if you can squeeze him in.
Uh, how do.
You like that so much? For bringing down the guy at the front. I wish this were not true, but it is. This is in exercise and futility clearly. I mean he could have a heart attack, but other than that, he is going to be the nominee. Some university presidents refusing to answer the easiest question ever about Israel and Hamas.
Stay tuned Armstrong and Getty, the Armstrong and Getty Show.
We're gonna get the clips for you, because I was astounded watching some MSNBC this morning the way they were blasting congress Person Jayapaul for her lack of willingness to just flat out answer the question or just state boldly yes, it's a war crime and horrifying that Hamas Israeli women to death. Yes and no. She had to you know, with well, yeah, but in this and you have to look at it this way, and you know, long complicated answer to that question and getting blasted on MSNBC, which I feel like is a sign of something. There's some reorganization of certainly the left going on. Oh, one hundred percent, one hundred percent. The progressive left has gotten so insane it's no longer possible to ignore it. We've gone from believe all women to it's fine to rape women if they're Jews. And we're about to hear some of that on display. We have been lectured by college campuses for years now about words are violence, let alone violence being violence, but words are silence is violence? Oh yeah, just keeping your mouth shut about some issues is violence. And microaggressions being treated like they're you know, being shot or something like that on college campuses. And then we found out after October seventh, Oh, you only meant it for things that you agree with, because anything that you know, rape of Jews or whatever, you're okay with that right exactly, because you know, the occupation and colonialism and all that sort of stuff.
What all right, they come at you with a moral argument. All they want is power.
So they get these various guidelines and codes on these college campuses. And we're talking about the most elite universities in the country here, and some of the presidents were on Capitol Hill yesterday in a hearing and This is Republican representative, at least Stephonic in this particular case, talking to the president of the University of Pennsylvania about whether or not some things recently being said on their college campus violates their own rules.
Here's how it went, Ms McGill at Penn does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's rules or code of conduct?
Yes?
Or no.
If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment.
Yes, I am asking specifically calling for the genocide of Jews. Does that constitute bullying harassment?
If it is directed and severer pervasive, it is harassment.
So the answer is yes.
It is a context dependent decision, Congresswoman.
It's a context dependent decision. That's your testimony today. Calling for the genocide of Jews is, depending upon the context, that is not bullying or harassment. This is the easiest question to answer, yes, Miss McGill. So is your testimony that you will not answer yes?
If it is yes or no. If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.
Yes, conduct meaning committing the act of genocide. The speech is not harassment. This is unacceptable, Miss McGill. I'm going to give you one more opportunity for the world to see your answer. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate pens a code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment, Yes or no, it can be harassment. The answer is yes.
The fact that she wouldn't even throw a bone out there of immediately saying oh, yes, in my opinion, it's abhorrent. Calling for genocide is abhorrent. Now, we have a code of conduct and we believe in free speech and give wide latitude for people to say a lot of things. But she didn't even do that.
No, Nope, wasn't willing to for some reason. I'll let you speculate about the reason in your own mind. On a college campus, where if you said Asian people seem to be really good at math, you would be pilloried, You would be dragged in front of a hearing, You would perhaps lose your status as a student. You might get tossed out. If you ask a black person about hair care because their hair is different than yours, that's a microaggression. You could be dragged in front of a DEI panel for that. But if you call for the extermination of the Jews, that's free speech. Jewish students are thinking, well, if you're gonna kill all the Jews here I am. I think you're probably going to start with me. But that's a subtlety that mss McGill can't comprehend.
Yeah.
Tim Sanderfer retweeted this example. If right wingers had called for the genocide of transgender students, what is the likelihood these presidents would have given this answer?
Wow? Great, great example.
Ten several seconds of silence because you don't know how to answer the question. Then, well, it depends on the context.
How about a march and a rally in which speaks you're after speaker says that I don't know. For instance, black people are a drag on America and a problem for America, and I believe that they should be wiped out. I mean, that is a thought so abhorrent and horror horific I can barely make it come out of my mouth. As an example, But that's what the precious little students are saying about the Jews, and the presidents of the universities are saying, well, that's not harassment.
So Harvard, we're about to hear from the Harvard president. Harvard's specific non discrimination policy defines bullying as words or actions that humiliate, degrade, demean, intimidate, or threaten an individual.
Excellence.
Let's hear the Okay, let's hear the president of Harvard live up to those principles.
Michael, you know the clips.
Right and doctor Gay at Harvard. Does calling for the genocide of Jews? Violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?
Yes?
Or no?
It can be depending on the context.
What's the context?
Target it as an individual, targeted at an individual, It's.
Targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals. Do you understand your testimony is dehumanizing them?
Do you understand that.
Dehumanization is part of antisemitism? I will ask you one more time. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment?
Yes?
Or no? Anti Semitic rhetoric?
And is it anti semitic rhetoric?
Anti Semitic rhetoric when it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation, that is actionable conduct, and we do take action.
So the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of Jews violates Harvard Code of Conduct.
Correct.
Again, it depends on the context.
It does not depend on the context. The answer is yes, and this is why you should resign. These are unacceptable answers across the board.
Again, the actual policy is Bullying is defined as words or actions that humiliate, degrade, demean, intimidate, or threaten an individual. So her parsing was well, calling for the genocide of Jews is not threatening an individual. Again, imagine if somebody said I want to exterminate the transgender community. Would you get away with saying, well, they weren't threatening an individual. That was a blanket statement about all transgenders. So it doesn't count. Yeah, I don't think.
So, never in a million years.
And I kind of missed that subtlety that miss Stephonic pointed out. And this is the logical conclusion, the insane logical conclusion of a lot of the racialist attitudes of the neo Marxist is that you can call for the genocide of Jews, but if you don't specifically say to one individual and you're a Jew and I'm going to kill you, that individual doesn't matter.
Because of course, every race.
Every ethnicity, every religion has inborn characteristics. We know that every white person is an evil white supremacist, and so it's the logical conclusion of that.
There.
If you just say Jews, you're talking about Jews. You're not talking about an individual. We don't look at individuals, just colors.
So as long as you're not pointing at Ezekiel, it doesn't count.
Right you specifically, I want to kill you first, That's correct.
So maybe I'm being too charitable to these university presidents because I find it hard to believe that they feel that way. I'm I'm going with their doing this because they're afraid of their own students. They feel they serve at the behest of their radical students, and they'll get run out of office if they don't answer these questions this way. Or do you think they actually they actually don't mind people calling for the genocide of the Jews.
I think it best they're torn, they've realize the horror of the little monsters they've created.
But I'll bet they're true believers.
That's crazy, That's what I would guess. I think they're espousing evil, which makes them evil people.
Evil exists.
It's one of the great failings I think sometimes of America is we think everybody is nice or wants to be nice, or is just misguided. They're evil anyway, a word from our friends at my Pillow.

Now I'm back to the horror and outrage.
Well, let me read more from their actual policy, because there's actually more than what I said. That's pretty interesting. This is their actual policy. Definition of bullying is used as this is from their paperwork you probably have to sign to work there. Bullying uses shorthand for hostile and abusive behavior or power based harassment is defined here is harmful interpersonal aggression by words or actions that humiliate, degrade, demean, intimidate, or threaten an individual or individuals. For a violation of the policy to occur, such aggression must be sufficiently severe or pervasive and objectively offensive that it creates a work, education, or living environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Ding ding ding, ding Ding. I mean it's not even close, is it. Yeah?
You know what I think The wriggle out for them was that if I say, in a classroom one time, I believe the genocide of the Jews would be appropriate, that's protected allegedly, although all those other examples of things you could say you would be hauled before their disciplinary committee and kicked out of Harvard for seeing him even once. What miss Stephonic didn't point out, or at least I haven't heard her on tape pointing out, is it is what were the words persistent and repetitive? Because they're having these rallies and marches and chants all the damn time. So don't hide behind if somebody utters the words once in a seminar, because that's what those university women were trying to do. But it's already met your definition. What Smiths Steffanic is asking about is those things worth pointing out. Also Bill Ackman, who's a Jewish American Harvard grad, eminent investor in financier. He's the lead guy in calling out Harvard for these outrages and getting people to cancel donations and that sort of thing, And he wrote a couple of interesting points about this. It depends on the context and whether the speech turns into conduct that is actually killing Jews. This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever listened in the Congress, and certainly on the topic of genocide, which, to remind us all is quote the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. The president's answers reflect a profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions, do in large part to their failed leadership.
Yeah, that part about the not only crosses the line if they actually take the action. So if they actually start to commit a genocide, you would frown upon that. Well, that's good to know.
We'll have a disciplinearing hearing.
Yes, now I noticed you killed fifty Jewish students. We're going to have to ask you to come to the dean's office. Will we have a problem?
Friends?
So crazy? And again, like I said earlier, I can't believe that they didn't answer the question just to get them off their back, just to make their lives easier, just so you know nobody to hear about this. This won't get outside this room. Really if I just say, oh, yeah, that is that's horrifying and violates our paulsy and we're gonna crack down on it, and then you're done and you go home, and you probably wouldn't even make the news. But they were willing to take all this heat rather than say out loud that crosses their line.
They were willing to take the heat to defend their little monster's right to call for the genocide of the Jews.
Although, Michael, this is a go ahead. Although you made the point, and this is absolutely true. Unless you watch Fox, read The New York Post, listen to AM talk radio, you don't know this happened anyway. So how much damage was done for them?
It disappeared, It disappeared into mainstream media. Final point, very quickly. And this is a direct to historical comparison, Michael, no Hitler ding. One of the reasons Hitler was successful in gaining power was that most of Germany didn't take him seriously. From you know, just normal German people to some of the captains of industry and the leaders in politics. They said, oh my god, this guy's got a lot of followers, are doing a lot of yelling and stuff, a lot of energy, but I mean, his philosophy is idiotic. He hardly makes any sense. I mean, we don't have to worry about him. It won't get anywhere. That's often under discussed in the story the Third Reich. People didn't take him seriously.
End of screen.
More on the way to.
Hear a Strong and Getty show.
I personally don't think he makes it. Okay, I haven't said that.
I'm saving it for this big town hall.
I'd never really, I personally don't think he.
I think he's in bad jay physically.
Do you remember when he said I'd like to take him behind the barn if he took me behind.
The barn, and I went like this, I believe you fall over. I believe he fall Who knows, Yeah, some PEPs. Some people talk about Trump has lost a step two getting older, and you know, I'm sure that's true, but he's Joe Biden is nowhere within a million miles of Trump's ability to get a line off at this point.
Absolutely, yeah, true. Interesting that Trump's main theme there was that he doesn't think Joe Biden can make it to the election, and he said he's going to go hard on that at some town hall. But Joe Biden, and this was like earthquake political news yesterday.
I just forgot her. We would have gotten to it previously.
Biden, behind closed doors, had a big fundraiser said if Trump wasn't running, I'm not sure I would run, but we've got to beat him. So he's more or less acknowledging what is plainly true, he's just not up to the job. Well, I thought, what other incumbent president has ever breathed anything like that?
LBJ is Bose?
Uh yeah, good point, But I thought it was a weird thing to say. Anyway, So, what's this weird belief you have that you're the best person to beat Trump?
Well, that's the kind of the mainstream Democrat view.
I don't know. I feel like, well, maybe of the I don't know, but of the like more even handed pundits, I know, everybody feels like the only person that could lose to Biden is Trump. The only person that could lose to Trump is Biden.
I would agree. Yeah, I think Biden's a terrible candidate. But that's again, that's not the conventional wisdom. But that's that's an extraordinary thing to say. I also think it's an example of the fact that his he's got an old man lack of filter disease. There's no way you should say that publicly.
Well, he hasn't caught on to the fact that this isn't nineteen seventy eight, and you can't go into closed rooms and say whatever you want and it doesn't get out of the room anymore.
Which is further proof of what I'm saying and further proof of what Biden was saying. Yeah, you're just not up to the job anymore, Joe, and he knows it.
By the way, Trump's got the biggest lead he's ever had over any opponent, Hillary or Biden in three times of running for president. In fact, he never had a lead ever again in the previous runs. But now he's got the biggest lead ever. So there you go, big sports story. So there's a chance that this baseball player, shohe Atani, becomes the highest paid athlete in the world. In fact, it's almost certainly going to happen. He's gonna make like six hundred million dollars or something like that with some team. Well it ain't gonna be the Dodgers, quite possibly because of this. So they're one of the few teams that actually could afford to have him. Manager Dave Roberts, for some reason, was asked by the press the other day, you met with shoa Hey Otani. How did it go? And he said, well, I'd like to be honest, So we met with show Hey and we talked and I think it went well. And just like that, writes the LA times La might be out of the running because shoe Otani's agent said, if anybody leaks out anything about any talks, we will not go play for them. Oh wow, that's how Nike missed out on Steph Curry. Was that sort of thing? Just don't be messing with us.
Wow.
So saying we got together and it was great, this is too much. Well, if that's the guidelines, that's the guideline.
