Well, uh, tonight uh uh is uh really uh the end of Yom Kippur.
It started last yesterday at sundown, and it ends at sundown today.
It is uh the holiest day in the Jewish liturgical calendar.
Uh the one almost of equal holiness is uh Rosh Hashanah, which took place about ten days ago, I guess.
And that's the that's the new that's that's the new year.
Um the day of atonement is a very, very sacred day, a very um, and this really it really it really is a um this is a question of how spiritual you are.
The other holidays, this is true of many religions.
Uh for example, I'm very, very familiar with the Catholic Church, obviously, and with the let's say the sacrament of penance, which is really uh very similar, except it's a one-on-one recitation of your faults and sins to the priest, who in Catholic theology is considered a representative of Jesus Christ directly.
These powers were given to the apostles by uh Jesus when he said, Whatever you bind on earth will be bound on earth, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed on earth.
went on and explained it in several different ways.
And Jesus's mission was to show people a way to live a beautiful life free of sin.
And although with a great recognition that that is impossible for a human being, and therefore there have to be opportunities to be able to take stock of yourself and see what you've done wrong.
And critical to both the ancient feast of Yom Kippur and the sacrament of penance is, this is not a holy Jewish person sitting in the synagogue today and saying, Oh, last year I hurt this one and I hurt that one, and I did something I shouldn't have done, or uh and dear God, I'm sorry.
In the Catholic religion, it is not a situation where you can go in and say, Father, forgive me.
I was very, very unduly nasty to my children.
I lied to my wife, I lied to my business partners, uh, whatever, whatever it is.
Um At some point along the way, depending on the gravity or the complexity of the sins, the priest might engage you in some discussion of why this happened or how it happened, or might not.
But he will ask you have you firmly resolved not to do this again.
Now the answer is critical.
If it's not yes, the priest will not absolve you.
If it is yes, but you're lying, the priest's absolution will mean nothing.
The absolution is a symbol of a much greater internal change that's taking place, which is that you truly appreciate why what you did was wrong, and you're gonna do everything you can to try to not do it again.
Oh my goodness, it doesn't mean you might not lie again.
You might, but you're gonna try your damnedest not to.
Now, the Jewish religion lays on top of it, as we talked about last night from the wonderful column from the from the Wall Street Journal, uh, that you also have to do something to seek forgiveness from a individual person you may have hurt, which means you have to go to them, you have to explain it to them, and you have to seek their forgiveness.
And uh if you do that, even if they don't forgive you, well, God will have forgiven you.
So this is a very solemn day, and the importance of it and the utility of it has so much to do with what you actually believe.
Do you do are you going through this symbolically, or are you going through this as a deep, deep mental, emotional and spiritual effort?
Now, it it seems to me, and I may it may be stopped being a panderer.
I was gonna say maybe it's coincidental.
Islamic attacks seem to occur on Jewish holy days with a great deal of frequency.
I'd like to know when the hell we attack them on.
I mean, they're they're doing the attacking on Ramadan.
Everybody's got to worry about the danger of Islamic attacks on Ramadan, which is their holy day.
Was anybody worried today about Jewish attacks?
That the Jewish people, after uh reflecting on their sins, might realize that rather than sinned, they were sinned against even more.
And they're gonna go out and they're gonna go burn down the buildings.
Or maybe even more analogous than that, would the Jewish people be stupid enough, having being angry at the people that hurt them to go burn down their own buildings.
There's a big difference, one religious tradition, right?
In that sense, I talk about the Western, the religious tradition of Western civilization, which is Judaism and Christianity.
One is a um is a tradition where God is constantly bringing his people to becoming better.
Like our like our country, we're not perfect, but we're seeking a more perfect union.
And none of us are perfect.
The only perfect person was Jesus when God became man.
But what we want to be as close as we can get to fulfilling the expectations that our creator has for us.
And if we all individually do that, even if we do err and we do have to go to confession or atonement, there's a much better world.
So the day is centered on atonement and repentance, it can full fasting.
There's prayer services, usually at the synagogue.
And uh it's it's a um it's a very, very solemn day contrasted with the one that came before it, Rosh Hashanah, which um Which is a celebration of the new year and the hopes and dreams and aspirations you have in the new year.
It's um the Torah requires fasting for this holiday.
And it lays out some of the ceremonies that are necessary to complete the day.
And it's a beautiful day.
And it's a day that helps to make the Jewish people better.
I'm sure not everyone, but those who legitimately who legitimately participate in this purging of the soul become better people.
The fact that it exists is a great sign of the human attributes of the Jewish people and their decency and their willingness to live by a moral code.
Now you all know by now that today, across uh across the Atlantic Ocean, in Manchester, England, strangely, we're right near Manchester, New Hampshire, right here.
In Manchester, England, known uh uh at one time as one of the great steel towns, you know, equivalent to some extent to Pittsburgh, um, but and then now I think known for its uh great uh football teams, um there was like we have here, a bomb attack at a Manchester synagogue.
Um everybody else uh, if you're not involved, move back, the police officer said.
And uh someone yelled, he's got a bomb on him, he's going to blow himself up, he's trying to press the button.
Uh the the the attacker was a large, when you look at the pictures here, he's a large man, you can see that.
Um large man with a beard as kind of an ominous, if you can if you if that means anything, he has somewhat of an ominous look to him, doesn't he?
And uh, of course, it came as a massive shock to the people that are there, engaged in the most sacred service of their year and of their religion.
Uh the synagogue is in Crump sale, North Manchester.
One of the eyewitnesses said he saw the attacker holding a knife and stabbing the window of a building trying to get in.
Within seconds, the police arrived.
They gave him a couple of warnings, he didn't listen, so they opened fire.
He fell to the floor, tried to get up, police made sure he couldn't by firing back.
And uh, of course, now it is being investigated with all the appropriate uh uh inquiries into whether it is a connected terrorist attack.
Um, and what and what what's what is it a singular motive?
Is it a motive connected to others?
Is this a person?
I mean, we we we know all the different variations by now.
It's not very different in England, except I will tell you England, England has been much more Islamified than we have.
In fact, they condescend even more than we do.
They do allow some degree of Sharia law to be followed in England.
They, of course, just recently at an extraordinarily terrible time, just when everyone was getting ready for a peace agreement and kind of putting the finger on Hamas, the UK, France, the UK, Australia and Canada recognized the Palestinian something.
A slap in the face to the Jewish state.
But you can't believe the political power that's been developed by Islamics in England, in France, in Germany, and they do not assimilate.
They do not become part of the culture what we're used to.
Going back to the English and the Dutch, but they were more or less the early settlers.
I guess the Germans would have been the first outside group and a group that didn't speak English.
And then the Irish and the Irish had the advantage of speaking English, but the disadvantage of having centuries of hatred with the uh with the English, who, in some sense, in the United States, the new states became their overlords.
And of course, they were of a different religion, when that was an extraordinarily bitter division between what would officially the religion of the states was the Church of England.
But in fact, as you all know from your history, a good deal of America was settled by reformists, people who were more Protestant than Henry VIII or Luther,
or any of the more traditional Protestant reform leaders who built a church separated from the Pope, separated from some, if not all of some of the sacraments,
certainly not all, but in many ways, the similarities between, even though they might be using different uh uh liturgies to do it, the similarity was very much the same, uh, recognizing uh uh Jesus Christ as the Son of God, as uh as God having become man to expiate our sins and to show us a way to paradise.
Uh so what happened here in this country is all these people with these very, very different views, and the Jewish people then with even uh uh even more uh even a more strained difference,
although somewhat easily reconcilable since you have the Old Testament and the New Testament, and you can see the break point, and uh, although it's created a great deal of misunderstanding and a great deal of animosity and at times and terror, and uh it's a very understandable thing that happened.
Some broke away, some didn't.
Um the theology may be different, the liturgy may be different, the basic ethics are pretty much the same, and the basic view of life.
And finally, the thing that holds Western civilization together is all throughout Western civilization, both the religions and the cultural institutions and political institutions elevated the importance of the human being.
Religions would be the importance of the soul, uh the great works of Greek, of Greek philosophy and drama and literature, the great uh great, if not somewhat somewhat copied works of uh Roman philosophy,
Roman history, Roman drama, and then where Romans really made their uh major contribution, architecture, uh how to how to build a functioning city with aqueducts and finally, the most important of all, they they laid out, they were they they were the surveyors of Europe.
What George Washington did to uh the area of Virginia and West Virginia and uh Julius Caesar did to all of Western Europe.
He laid out the boundaries.
And he made as many of them as possible uh Roman citizens, and they began speaking Latin, and then over the years it became Italian, Portuguese, French, uh Spanish, Romanian, those are the Latin languages.
That's the civilization that's under attack right now.
Uh that's what the service for Charlie uh Kirk was telling us, that that civilization is under attack right now.
It's not one religion, it's not one set of beliefs, it's that civilization.
And it's that civilization that people adopted when they came to the United States.
That's what assimilation means.
They fit in.
They might bring little exceptions, they might bring things that could be considered better, but they agreed on the core principles today, we don't do that.
In America, we don't do that.
But in other countries, many of them never did it.
So that's why you have situations like this where they know very, very little about the people who are in their country that come from other lands, and when the assimilation is not happening by that group internally, they really have no skill or experience and how to how to foster that, how to make it happen.
So that is something that I think if you look at some of the uh uh conservative countries in Europe, like Italy, I'll use as an example.
They're they're gone a long way to try to adopt that and learn it.
Where England and Germany, England and France more than Germany, uh don't seem to have a clue on how this is not their problem, it's their problem.
It's not being mean or cruel, it's being realistic.
You're the majority population, you've had this land for a long time, you've been using it in such a way.
They have to begin to respect your traditions.
And over time, many of them will adopt it if they're good traditions.
That's what's not happening.
The assimilation part is in reverse.
Well, we have we have a country uh right now where the government is closed down.
Did you notice?
You couldn't get any food today, right?
Couldn't make any cell phone calls, had to stay in bed all day.
That government's so important to us.
I didn't notice a difference, Ted.
Do you might have something?
I was gonna say, we it's like uh we probably saved a lot of money today.
Yeah, uh eventually people are gonna realize wait a second.
We're not nothing's different.
We the only reason we know it's shut down is because these uh the Democrats, you know, keep whining about it.
It's really interesting you have two things going on.
The one that is going on uh um to some extent in a similar way on both sides is the um who's gonna win the game of of blame, the blame game.
Um the second one is who will take substantive advantage of.
Now that's over because the uh the the Democrats have no even inclination, they don't know what I'm talking about.
What I just said doesn't mean anything to a Democrat.
The first one does how to blame somebody, so you can turn that into a political victory.
But the second part, which is how do you take um how do you how do you how do you how do you get uh you know uh eliminate from from 11?
Well that's what that's what uh Russ Vogue and uh Donald Trump are working on.
So if if you if if you're a democrat and a true believing Democrat who believes that more often than not the answer to a social problems is government, and you're not uncomfortable about big government and um which is titled to have that viewpoint.
It is a viewpoint.
I think it's an incorrect one, but it is one.
And maybe you need a little of that to balance the fact that uh this country would not have become the great country it is if it if it had to everybody remain in their own, you know, one one bedroom house.
Uh so assimilation, socializing, um organizing in larger and larger groups means that we ascend faster.
Um they have to be balanced.
So Republicans have a great advantage here.
Because whether you like them or you don't like them, Republicans have a set of definable principles that pass a smell test uh for people that are serious uh experts.
And no no place more effectively than how to handle a budget.
So I they said that the president and vote were together today for quite some time.
I remember those days when we had impoundments and we had fiscal crisis.
I was with my OMB director, like it was my son or daughter.
I mean, we were just going through the budget, coming up with all kinds of ways to balance it, going through all kinds of ways to make up for the money that have been taken from us, uh, that we lost, or whatever.
It's just not there anymore.
And uh uh Mr. Vogt has not been shy about the fact that he thinks that we are spending oh, it's ridiculous to say way too much money.
Doesn't get across to you the di.
The amount amount of money that we waste uh could probably fund another United States.
And because of that, that's gotta be a very, very important uh uh area of our inquiry and change.
If it isn't, we're going to be left behind by China and others.
So it's something that I think more and more of us are getting to are getting to um getting to realize.
So let's take a short break, Ted, and uh we'll come back and we'll see if we can uh we can get some sense on how long does this last.
How long does the government stay and shut down?
There may be people that would say forever.
Perfect.

Yeah.
Well, we're about where we're because in short while the game, the game schedules have changed.
The Yankees are playing the Red Sox at 8.05 tonight at the Cathedral of Baseball.
And please don't feel that that's some kind of a some kind of a um attack on religion.
I understand the cathedral is a very holy places, but but I don't know.
It looks like a cathedral.
And it to me it is a certain holy holiness.
That's why we were all upset that they moved it.
My son Andrew, I couldn't, I couldn't uh console him.
I was the mayor, and the only way we could get this thing done was they had a move from where Yankee Stadium was.
Same thing with Shea Stadium in City Field, and they just flipped it to the other side.
They sort of flipped the parking lots.
So they took the area of Yankee Stadium that uh it actually was had both parking lots and playgrounds.
So they took that area and they moved the playgrounds about two or three blocks away, right near the stadium, the old stadium, and they moved to rather long area, but it really is technically across the street.
And they lined it up facing the sun and the moon, pretty much the same way.
And I came home and I told my son that because we had negotiated it all day.
And he was so concerned that they were gonna move either out of New York or he was not even in favor of their going to Manhattan.
Um I wanted to put them at the UN.
Now I think he would be, he realizes it wasn't so much for baseball, it was for the good of all the people that those crooks uh uh victimized, including the women that they attack.
Um The real feeling that gets lost is because when I was first in the old stadium, and my father took me down, you can walk on the field after the game was over.
I'd go stand there right near the baddest box.
And I'd say to myself, I'm standing in the same place that Mickey Mann was standing.
I'm I'm behind the I'm in the same place that Yogi Berra was standing.
All the fans could go on the field after the game?
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
They stopped it about 25 years ago.
You know why they were starting to get certain cities, and of course, New York was one, and Philadelphia was another.
Started to have a lot of violence.
They have a lot of violence in baseball games.
It really stopped.
Or how gee, how many baseball games do people run out on the field?
Yeah, that's it.
Now they get there.
It happened so often for Joe DiMaggio.
He would tell them to go in the back and find somebody.
The guy would give him $10 or something.
So it didn't hurt him and went away.
And one time Joe DiMaggio got terribly angry because some guy ran out on the field.
DiMaggio offered him some money.
The guy said nice things and ran away.
And DiMaggio looks around, you know, in the in the little corner in the house field, they had like a little area, and he hears some noise, and they're beaten the crap out of the guy.
Now I don't think these are police at that time.
I think those are the Yankee security guards.
Imagine you went there and stopped them.
You went there and stopped them.
Some ball players get very nervous about that.
And in this day and age, you probably do because people have become brutal, huh?
So the shutdown.
The Schumer shutdown.
Are we calling it the Schumer shutdown?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's call it the Schumer shut shutdown.
Uh at least we'll remind all of us that he's still the little creep is still here.
Um it's very frustrating because the answer to it is very, very simple.
It doesn't cost anybody anything except the paper that you have to write it on.
And they they should leave if the Republicans are willing to leave everything alone, not cut out the things they wanted to cut out originally, which took a while.
They should not be adding things that aren't there.
We should we should go on a continuing resolution and give ourselves three months to discuss it.
And I'll tell you why.
It might benefit the Democrats.
Their argument on health care sounds absurd.
Now, I've usually learned that when there's an argument that's that absurd, there are parts to it that probably have merit.
But I don't know what they are.
They want to preserve all the money we're spending on Medicaid, and then increase the formulas.
So we add immediately about 500, about 500 billion dollars in spending.
And over a period of time, about 1.2 trillion.
Well, our money, the money, if we our money will be worth that unless our economy grows even beyond what Donald Trump thinks.
So I really uh I really do hope that they get it over with quickly.
And get back to the business of government.
It's going along really well.
Now, I don't know this is gonna stop Trump.
I think actually it might embolden him to do a lot more things on his own and not include them.
I mean that and that could be a real problem.
So do you want to see the video Democrats have put out, Mayor?
I'm sorry?
Democrats doing what?
They put out a video.
Oh, oh, their uh their version of the sombrero?
Well, yeah, so well, they put out a video.
Remember, we said they shouldn't be so serious, they should they should respond, they should respond, they should be a good idea.
That's the cat video.
Let's see how how how humorous they were.
They're so talented, these Democrats.
Uh this number of the Republicans and Democrat kitties cannot agree on what should be funded.
Democrat kiddies want you to have health care.
Republican kiddies Do not.
Republican kiddies control the Senate House and the White House, so they're using that to cut your health care and give money to billionaires.
Democrat Kitty tries to negotiate, but Republican Kitty keeps running away.
He has a vacation to get to.
Uh oh.
Suddenly the money you pay for your health insurance has tripled.
Thanks, Republicans.
That is ridiculous.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that this was a dispute over animal insurance health insurance.
Yeah.
You know, that's becoming a big problem.
I mean, these animal uh uh uh medical procedures are almost expensive uh because they in jail pretty much I mean they do I don't even they probably put stents in dogs now.
Well, you you're a dog lover.
I mean you I would I'm in favor of it.
Yeah.
I mean, come on, you're not gonna get people say, yeah, let the dog die.
Yeah, great.
Let your dog die.
But you're right.
I'm not I'm not big on, you know, I'm not big on assisted suicide or euthanasia for any of God's creatures.
I really do think that, and and and I am fully cognizant of the fact that that uh that in order for in order for our universe and our natural uh habitat to um to grow in a healthy way,
we have to call sometimes the number of animals that we have and the number of the um but and those are necessary killings and necessary removals of them because they're gonna make it impossible maybe for another group of animals to survive because they're gonna eat all the food and they've got to be cut down somewhat, or they may spread a disease.
The large, large number of deer in certain places because of the restrictions on deer hunting, and because of the movie Bambi, which I think did more damage to that uh to that concept of deer hunting, uh has meant that first of all, lots of deer die of starvation.
Not a nice way to die.
Because uh they used to be used to be an extra intervening force uh that shut that cut their lives short, so there weren't too many of them, and uh and they become venison steak.
But you know, now the woke and this and the very, very um soft, and the they're not gonna they're not gonna kill Bambi.
Um it's like the wood.
We don't chop down wood.
We get gigantic forest fires, and they're much worse than they used to be.
It has nothing.
Zero to do with carbon dioxide.
There's another peer-reviewed study that was out a couple of weeks ago.
I think they have, I think um, they're in the process of lynching the two scientists who wrote it, who basically say flat out that there's no scientific proof that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is gonna hurt us.
There's always been carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and we need it.
If we didn't have carbon dioxide, we'd have a lot less food.
I mean, uh the privilege would have it, but those of us who aren't, I don't know what we would have to do.
So we we're getting conflicting messages from Hamas, Ted, right?
Right.
Uh we've heard it all.
Earlier today, Hamas said, I don't think directly, but through intermediaries and probably cutter, which has now become, I don't know what Trump did.
Did he uh did he offer them something?
Did he uh motivate them in some way or did he threaten them?
But they are becoming now a big proponent of peace in the Middle East.
And they're telling, they're telling um they're telling Iran that they should back off now and not push it any further.
I wish somebody was telling Russia that.
I mean, or that Russia listened.
Uh and that the counterattack on them could be, you know, game-changing.
So I'm hoping that that's gonna produce a different result within the government, because the discussion is very, very different and at a much more realistic level.
Um so one report, one report was Hamas is agreeable to the deal.
Few things have to be worked out.
You gotta worry about that.
But here's the one you really have to worry about, and that is that there are some real pitfalls in it.
I don't I can guess what they are, I'm not, because they couldn't be anything, because I don't know how much in good faith this is, or it's an attempt just to play for time.
Uh but again, I don't know how time is gonna help him.
I think time is gonna be worse.
I mean, they'd have made a much better deal a year ago than now, because uh at this point now, Western Europe and the United States have geared up to to fight for them.
So they have to decide.
And as I said, one group has indicated that they are uh favorable to the deal.
Hamas is open to accepting the conditions, but is asking for additional time always bad.
Always bad.
I would say there's um a good a good chance that the other that the other communists will go will be against that.
Oh well, mayor, did you mention the position of uh their uh armed armed wing of Hamas?
Do we put a picture of him up?
Ted, are you cheating?
Oh, you're about to go.
Oh, no, I didn't know I didn't want to move on to.
Let me read you what it says on the paper.
Okay, Hamas military chief rejects Trump's ceasefire.
I just I thought we were going to a different subject, and we gotta show it.
Tell me your first observation of that murdering terrorist bastard.
Just how how well fed he looks.
Yeah.
I mean, he has not missed a good meal.
And his fellow Palestinians, they're starving to death.
Although his patch appears to be falling off on the side there.
Well, maybe he's a swap.
And maybe he's a lot of people.
That patch, that patch is coming off.
Maybe he's not even a general, he's just some kind of a terrorist murderer.
He doesn't even know how to put a patch on.
Well, they've lost a lot of their leadership, right?
I got we gotta read up on this guy.
Uh he's got some kind of picture behind him.
That must be of the gentleman that was killed uh in Lebanon, right?
Is that right?
That looks like uh one of their leaders, right?
That recently so this guy, this guy was not one of the people, though.
We will say this one thing for him.
He wasn't one of the people back in uh Ukraine living uh not Ukraine, I'm sorry, in Qatar, living the high life.
He was um he he he was their present um commander, ground commander.
Um he's not gonna live a full natural life.
And it isn't because he's overweight.
That could do it, but it's because he participated in the January seven massive brutal killings of innocent people, most particularly women and children who couldn't defend themselves.
He was part of that.
Israel wants to eliminate and will eliminate Hamas, but for sure they want to eliminate all the people that participated in the murder of innocent civilians.
If they don't get it now, they'll get it later.
They've got made a hell of a head start.
So he took over for Sinwar, so that must be Sinwar.
You better eat a little more, pal.
Because you're on your way.
And as I said a long time ago, and I've had not a single contradiction, even from the theologians who who who can figure these things out with the percentage of men and women That has traditionally been the case.
It's 5149, usually because of the XY chromosome in favor of women.
There's no way you're gonna get 72 virgin pal.
And when they take a look at you, they're gonna complain.
And God, you know, God's gonna be more sympathetic with innocent virgins than with a murdering slime like you.
And the issue, mayor, being he he what what I've read, what we've researched is that he does have significant power over not just the military, but the current political wing.
Um and that he does uh some report that he does have veto power.
So if that is uh I think part of that's due to the death of the Sinwars and others, he's he's maybe the most senior whom Hamas.
I mean, historically, right, they've separated their political leadership with the Sinwar brothers uh or the Sinwars, they're dead now.
Top military whether he always did or not, I would think now he absolutely would.
The army is in disarray and retreat.
Right.
So who's commanding them?
Um and you never know who's gonna.
I mean today they take one out, another one, and now and they've also in the last attack where they didn't get the top guy, they got his brother, and who knows how much of the in the um the support structure they took.
I don't care how good these guys are, generals depend on a support structure.
You take out the support structure, and he's searching around for for that.
He's not paying attention to saving his country and keeping the uh uh keep keeping the numbers as low as low as possible.
So um this um thing here um is named Is Al Din Al Hadad.
Is Al Din Al Hadad and he is very, very he is very, very uh uh busy killing people, both in the military style and the way civilian murderers uh do it,
uh, which is the kind of people that are attracted to uh Putin's Putin's Putin's uh machinations and the things that he does, and they need that feeling of superiority, I guess, in order to, in order to function, in order to function properly.
So we are now uh Ted, give me the exact time the ball game is going to start.
808.
I think is it 815?
In the old days, they used to start about 820.
No, they've been doing these ones at eight minutes good after the top of the hour.
Uh 808.
Let me just make sure, yeah.
You know, it's really strange too, because they that time was left for like ceremonies, Ted.
Yeah.
And sometimes they forget to do a ceremony.
So it would be like just a five-minute tennis break, uh tennis television break.
And um just sitting there.
And every you all be sitting there and you're waiting for the game, and maybe you don't know the person next to you, but you feel like, well, you gotta talk.
Yeah, you meet some interesting people that way.
Yeah, well, and you had yeah, you're a talkative type even before you were so well known.
I can see you being chit chatting it up in the car.
My first ball game, I was six years old.
1950.
And I'm not sure in that period of time.
I mean, I would my my my dad would take me all the way up to the Bronx to the games eight, ten times a year, and because he worked nights and then they went into night games, he started to get my uncles and uh some of his friends would take me to games.
So you're always going to games.
Oh, I was always going to games.
That's why I know the game so well sitting in different sitting in the.
I'd play it in the daytime and I'd go see it at night.
Would you sit in different parts of the stadium depending who took you, or were everyone kind of has similar.
I didn't want to go with people who just wanted to get popcorn, and you know, oh, this game is taking so long.
You get a lot of that now.
Never takes too Long.
The strategy of it is brilliant.
You think of the strategy they utilized last night, both managers.
And it probably was the first time in a long time that Boone outmanaged Scora.
McCorris won most of their engagements.
And he and uh the manager doesn't win all of them, but the manager um he's had some signature victories.
Even the first game, which the Yankees didn't take advantage of, he left he left uh the guy, he left the guy in too long.
Uh I would say should have come out in the sixth inning.
He was really struggling in the seventh.
You could see it.
He would take longer between his pitchers, particularly a fastball.
He had a struggle to get up that same velocity.
You know, you might want to you want a weird example from baseball.
So generally the theory is and makes sense.
If you pitch, you get tired.
Yeah.
So uh people will say about a great pitcher, you're only gonna get him in the first inning or two while he's uh while while he's um I'm sorry.
Uh so then it is said about great pitchers, which would defy that, that you can only get him in the first inning or two, because when he straightens things out, if you let him straighten things out, he gets past the second or third inning pitching well, you're not getting to him until the seventh or eighth inning when he tires out.
And that's why relief pitches are so important, right?
Yeah, and you and the managers have begun to.
I think they used him a little too much of it as a crutch, and I thought they would get more out of this starting pitch if they would take a chance and leave him in there a bit.
Not always just keep uh was last night was an example of that in one of the games where you had mentioned the a pitcher there, you know, he was put some guys on base.
Uh Boone came out but didn't pull him.
And you said maybe he still got it, and they ended up closing out the inning.
He he was able to get out of the jam.
Was that last night?
A couple of choices like that.
There was uh with Crochet in the first game, there was a period of time where uh amateur catcher me realized that Crochet had had it, and Koris stayed with him a little bit too long.
He got away with it, but he stayed with him a little bit too long.
Um very hard though, because the pitcher will lie to you.
Say, how do you feel?
I feel great, Skip.
Getting tired, tired, and the guy's got you know what yo how Yogi Bear and Casey Stengle handed this.
This is why Yogi was the greatest catcher in baseball, beyond just the physical attributes of it, where he was fabulous, by the way.
He just knew pitching.
The first thing Stengel would do is meet Yogi halfway to the mound.
And he'd say, Yogi, what's the guy got?
Yogi'd say, hey, it's a several eighth inning, but he's still hot as hell.
Or he'd say, you know, you don't put him in a gas station for a little gas, the guy's gonna disappear.
And then they go out there, and the guy would not necessarily know that Yogi had turned him in.
Pitchers, you know, you gotta keep the you gotta keep the confidence of your pitcher.
And if the if the manager says, How are you doing?
I'm feeling great, I'm feeling great.
I still got it skip.
I still got it skip.
Give me the ball, give me the ball.
And then you look at you look at the catcher and they say, Yogi, what do you think?
I think he's okay.
I mean, it's like that.
Very hard for a kid.
For a catcher to turn on the pitcher when the guy wants to go.
Now, every once in a while, because every rule has an exception.
You get a great enough athlete, and he decides he wants to go to the end of that game, and he's a big strong pitcher, still throwing in the 90s, you'd let him go.
Because there are guys that are closers, and I mean, there are closers in the special position, but there are guys who naturally are closers.
They don't let anybody else finish up their business.
And when they when they see the finish line, they get better.
So we're gonna have to see, and we have to sort out the two different messages given to the UN and France from unnamed uh Soviet people that uh that there's a chance that we may we may.
Oh my gosh, how do you even uh credit these things?
I'm not even sure I should say this because I don't know, I don't believe it.
I think this is this is uh counterinformation, which is that Putin is starting to rethink things.
I have you let me see evidence that he is, and then I'll start to credit it.
I'm gonna put those, put those aside, and we'll I got him a little file.
And when uh it starts to when it starts to emerge, then we can go and we can check it.
But my instincts tell me they're wrong.
He he wants to vindicate the loss of Russia.
Terrible mistake.
He has a country right now that's you know a very, very big country, uh punches above its weight in terms of economy and population and everything else.
But instead of being comfortable with that, he wants to take back what they what they used to have.
Well, I don't even know what that means because that could that could take you into parts of Japan.
That could take you, and Japan's not gonna let them take shit, and uh it could mean they want East Berlin back, or maybe all of Berlin back.
I don't see I I mean I this is a very, very dangerous guy, and we have to win, and we have to prevail, and uh and we have to go.
We have to move on to X, where we are going to we're gonna talk about the game, but we are gonna talk about Harvard just paid a lot of money to to to to the administration to be good, and they just hired a professor.
And when you hear about this professor, you're gonna say, I feel like I feel like bullshit.
Pray for the people of Israel, pray hard for the people of Ukraine.
Pray for the people of Iran, pray for all the people in the world.
And pray for America.
God, we are you you you you you built us, you gave us our values, and we and we we we will uh we'll be back tomorrow, and we will we will try to get you you know further ahead on all of these things.
There are a couple of major censorship stories.
I'll put them aside one each night and tell them to you.
But these are the things that I really enjoy delivering to you because I think I think it helps open your mind when you realize how much they lie, and I know there is a tendency to say, oh, they lie too.
We don't.
I we don't make mistakes, maybe maybe we tell a little white lies.
I don't know, but we don't lie about whether we have nuclear arms and we don't.
