How do you read this? What's happening?

I think it's interesting, you know, the pushback starting to happen.

But what I like best about the DSA is it's putting the Democrats on notice.

That is the biggest rift in politics, that DSA branch.

And here's what people probably aren't paying that much attention to.

It's not some Republican conspiracy that's going after these people.

It is the Democrat Party themselves that is saying, we don't want these guys anymore.

I'm nervous that he does take out Mike Rogers in Michigan.

What was your proudest moment leading the Cyclones? I got to know this.

Well, you know, I have many.

Obviously, I felt like we could have done more.

I thought that we could have possibly gotten more resources to do a little bit more.

Obviously, I did not reach the goals that I had set for myself and that team.

But as far as what I did for some athletes while I was there is I've taken some athletes out of environments that could have cost them their lives.

that those athletes went on to be successful they've all graduated from college and they've gone on to have successful lives and so I think what I did my proudest moments um they go beyond winning NCAA championships they they they're they're deeper they're they're deeper than than than wrestling goals now i could i could talk about two different levels because there were some huge highlights for me um and some athletes as far as the goals they accomplished you know being in john reader's corner when he when he went undefeated and won an ncaa championship um seeing what kyven went through from his freshman year through his sophomore year with his dad with his dad being sick all that time his dad passing me and my wife spending hundreds of hours with him through that whole process.

What's the secret to the room culture being built in Ann Arbor right now?

What helped you find the courage to pursue a path that feels more authentic?

I love that question.

Your questions are awesome, by the way.

Absolutely.

I would say that the life that I've built has been from a place of safety.

It's been from a place of survival.

It's been from a place of just getting through it and not really allowing myself to, I'll say, like, stop and smell the roses.

If someone is listening and they feel like they've been postponing their dreams because life keeps getting in the way, what would you want them to remember before they convince themselves it's too late?

You were saying, remind me when it was, but you went to a commentary show and the paint show, you know, you spoke to the organisers and they kindly said about you could set up a stand.

Yeah, so I was sat in my van one lunchtime and thinking of different ways.

I'm always thinking of different ways to try and raise money, whether it be a track, whether it be a charity show night or a raffle.

I don't know what it is.

I've always got to think of different things.

And I thought to myself, I've never seen a charity at any of the shows, the pan show.

So I randomly tried to find a number of an organiser or somebody involved with it.

it's like,

Why do your childhood memories, cartoons, music, and pop culture remain so powerful throughout our lives?

So for me, you know, going through so much early in life, there was a phase in my life where probably during my teenage years, where basically I equated to being a turtle that was in his shell.

I went inside my shell and I never came out.

I didn't allow myself to have experiences.

I didn't allow myself to connect with people or have relationships.

I was in... survival mode.

I was in protection mode.

Can you walk us through each one and why they are important?

stick.

Well, yeah.

So what do people get when they fly on Porter? Free beer and wine and real glassware.

And if you get a cocktail, it comes with a Mr. Porter stir stick.

So this guy here can be a key chain.

So that's inside.

Then the third potential one, the aircraft that started it all, the Dash 8, of course, flying out of Billy Bishop 20 years ago, first route was Ottawa.

So Tell me if I am right, if you're feeling that at Porter.

Tell us about that.

My book, I wrote that book years ago.

I took a look at growing up in the country.

I grew up on a 25,000 acre cattle ranch raised around, you know, all my friends were members of FFA and 4-H and stuff like that.

They were farmers and ranchers, a bunch of little white kids.

And we never worried about race.

And then when I came of age, everybody's talking about all these race issues.

and

Isn't that proof? Isn't that Exhibit A in this idea that non-citizens vote?

Exhibit A.

Absolutely, it's Exhibit A, but I'll give you Exhibit B.

And it's happening in Arizona, the state that I live.

Our Secretary of State and our governor run commercials in Spanish.

Vote to vote.

Why would you need to run commercials in Spanish where every kid, every citizen of this country speaks the language? And anybody that processes in, you must know our language and you must know our laws.

i would contend that if one can't speak of the english don't understand what's being said for any political purpose your vote probably is bought and paid for or meaningless if you can't participate in america and you're an illegal truck driver and you can't read signs and you're killing americans uh... democrats will stand up for you you have a posting also about how the media becomes more interested in scrutinizing ice than a legal immigrant crime that the hundreds of women killed by the policies of the democrat party and raped which is through the uh... southern border also the number of americans killed in maine by illegal truck drivers finally is going to be a little bit of a crackdown why is the media jump on one side and not on the other because the activist why

What would you like to say to Al Sharpton a week after his 71st birthday?

You know, Al has been, he's had some longevity.

in the race-pimping business.

Good for him.

You know, I learned this from Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Never get in between a man and his money.

And the people that go, when's he going to change? What's going to happen with Al Sharpton? Al Sharpton is not going to change.

What's going on in the WNBA?

What common words or phrase about mental health? Is it a crazy breakdown or just get over it? Do you believe we most consciously retire? And what should we say instead?

you, you know, you can hear the term get over it a lot or that's just the way it is.

Um, you know, I've, I've been told, um, when I have had moments where I'm very tired and my job can be a lot, um, you have a good job is, is the term that I've been told.

Um, Basically, you know, some reframes for that can basically just be that it's okay that you are seeking what you need.

And if they're not understanding it, then that's not, that's not the line that you need to go for that journey.

for your help or for your support.

Sometimes you just have to go within yourself.

Talk therapy is a cornerstone, but what other modalities do you find are essential and underrated pillars of a holistic mental health toolkit?

but outside of that you got involved with helping this charity and tell us a little bit more about that if you don't mind

Yeah, that's correct.

So I have a little grandson, Ted, and when he was born, he was rushed into the Birmingham Children's Hospital with a heart condition where he was in intensive care for around two months.

Basically, they saved his life.

He passed away twice.

They brought him back from the dead, as it were.

He's now five.

And while you've pretty much stopped doing nothing to raise money for this charity.

And, uh, what did this, uh, reaction to Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf incident, uh, show the differentials between some of Black America and most of white America, if anything?

I think what it showed is how leftism is completely trying to skew the, the numbers.

The...

Let me tell you, Billy, overwhelmingly, Black people in America see Carmelo Anthony for what he was.

He's, uh, one of these kids that thinks that his Blackness gets him privilege everywhere, and I've seen videos of this kid standing in front of a woman's house not wanting to move.

Uh, he- there's m- multiple videos of him being a jerk, and that's what he was, and that...

He, he got himself arrested and sent to prison because he's a jerk.

[laughs]

example.

You want to talk about black? Okay, how about this? The first African American is the guy who made a trillion dollars.

How's that for some irony, right? And now they're never going to talk about that.

What they want to talk about is the trillionaire.

You know, the billionaires and the trillionaires.

And we got people out here who work day in and day out, struggling to make a living.

They would love to work for an Elon Musk where the restaurant workers are now millionaires.

News amplifies them.

He is the first African-American to become a trillionaire, and no DEI needed.

Right.

No DEI needed.

He just came over and did his thing.

So why is this good? Why is the Carmelo Anthony story good? It's good because most black people in America can't stand that little thug.

They can't stand that monster.

They can't stand the fact that this guy went into a tent, started some crap, And then ended up killing a kid who was there, you know, who's an athlete who's trained his whole life to do what he does and what it's done.

Give me your
