Full Show 3-2-26

The Dave Glover Show is sponsored by the Michael's flooring outlet, the flooring experts.

I got floored.com.

Loomy Monday, get used to this, Dave Moriel be on with us as usual in 330, but my phone

tells me it goes all the way to next weekend.

So this is going to kind of suck a little bit to show me suck a little bit today.

We're a couple of men down.

We have Wheeler who's still in Chicago, although I think he's done all the stuff to get his

daughter moved and we're talking over the weekend and it sounded terrible.

A lot of great stories tomorrow.

If you recall, Andrew was sick on Friday.

He's back.

He's here.

Feel a little bit better, but still, you know, not great.

And then rage texted me this morning and she'd been sick all weekend and I am going

to spring break next week with Michael Kelly.

And I was afraid that I would get sick this week and have to miss time because I'm

not missing the spring training trip next week.

So we asked Michael to come in and he's here from one to two.

Then he has a meeting.

He's coming back three to five.

And while he's gone Brad is coming in.

Yes.

They offered me him and I'm like, oh my god.

So thanks for coming in.

I appreciate it.

Happy to do it.

I don't know that I've got the aesthetic pleasurable viewing that you get with Rachel, but we know

and no one can see either one of you because we have no stream today.

And that's because that's a Rachel thing.

Oh, she handles these.

She handles the stream.

Yeah.

It's all new and I could figure out how to do it, but it would take a long time and it

would make probably a bunch of noise.

And you're sick.

I'm sick.

Right.

And I would just be bumbling through trying to figure that out over here.

You don't, you don't look sick.

You look like you got it together.

That's the nicest thing we've been game of thumbs up.

That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

So wheels was like traversing the world, right?

Wasn't it going to like the Carolinas or something?

He flew to North Carolina, packed up a whole apartment by himself and then drove the truck

all the way from North Carolina to Chicago.

Through the mountains.

He is, I think, about to get on an airplane in Chicago to fly back here.

Yeah.

Nice.

Yeah.

Which is like a one hour flight, I think.

So I shouldn't be too much trouble.

I've never driven through the smokey mountains.

I have a few times.

Yeah.

It's a butt clincher.

Is it?

Yeah.

It's not like going 70 out west.

A little bit.

Yeah.

It's probably no worse than that.

Right.

Yeah.

What's so bad about it?

Anything.

Like, I would, I love Colorado.

I love the mountains.

I just don't love driving through them and, uh, yeah, it's just, you know, twist the

internee and up and down and that kind of stuff.

So, uh, we all woke up on Saturday to see that we're at war with Iran.

Uh, I was still hoping against hope that they would find a diplomatic solution.

I'm not sure exactly why they're not really saying.

Why they decided to go now.

It could be as simple and I'm just spitballing, but I know that, uh, the Ayatollah and his

people, which kind of loosely relates to the president and his cabinet, uh, were foolishly

having a meeting all together.

That seems like a dumb thing to do.

And, uh, so we knew that through our intelligence and we hit them in the first 30 seconds.

And now they're all gone.

Uh, Ahmed Dinajad, who is my generation guy, um, and I, I have a bit of history with this.

So, uh, I'm 61 in 1979 when the, uh, the revolutionaries took over the embassy.

I was, well, I've been 15 years old and two of my best friends, homie, Navid, were Iranian

exchange students and they took a ton of crap and I took a ton of crap for being their

friend.

Right.

So just walking through the hallways and like ninth grade and people, you know, Yellen

Adjian stuff.

So I, I knew back then, like, oh, and I experienced it more than a 15 year old should.

And then later in life, within the last 20 years or so, became good friends with Rocky

Sikman, who was a hostage for 444 days.

And, uh, as long as I, I could live to be 150 and one of the top five experiences I've

ever had was Rocky, um, was down in, uh, Mark Bulger's basement, me and Mark and Rocky

and a couple other guys.

And we asked him to tell us story and he, I bet he talked straight without interruption

for two hours.

Wow.

And just told us everything and a lot of like really disturbing details and scary stuff

and, uh, he thought Ahmed Dinajad was one of his captors.

Um, and we asked Rocky to be on today, but he said he'd need some time.

I imagine.

So he's not giving interviews right now, which is understandable.

It has to be very emotional for him.

Do you remember how many days he was 44?

44.

He was four.

No, um, no.

Rocky was one of two US Marines and he was 22 years old, who were standing guard.

Okay.

And he said that, uh, he was in this hallway and they broke in and the, uh,

uh, revolutionaries were armed and they had women in front of them and as, you know,

shields and he said that he had his shotgun trained on them as did his compatriot and

they were on the phone with the White House and the White House told them to stand

down.

He handled this diplomatically and Rocky said this many times on the show, one of the

most amazing things I've ever heard, um, he said, had I pulled the trigger?

It would have started all of this.

And maybe we don't have 9 11 and maybe we don't have this war on terror for 30 years.

And he said, if I could go back, because he has a beautiful family, beautiful wife and

know them all really well.

He said, if I could go back to be a 22 year old kid, I would pull that trigger.

Wow.

Even if it meant I died that day, just, just so we didn't have everything that happened.

Wow.

Dave, but how long did it, uh, did he go back into working again or when he was released?

Uh, I was a little too young.

I remember, obviously the day that Ronald Reagan got sworn in, uh, he got released.

But did he go back to work or what, what, what happened?

I don't know what he did right away.

I know eventually he went to work at Anheuser Bush and had a great career there.

And the last 20 years or so, he was running all the military sales, which was perfect for

him.

Sure.

And he's very, uh, involved a full devonor and lots of other, you know, uh, especially

Marine Corps focused, uh, veterans affairs and, yeah, just the greatest guy in the world,

just such a good dude.

Um, yeah, his stories were just amazing, right?

Just amazing.

They would, they would show them videos of people being, uh, lined up against this very

specific looking wall and then they would shoot them in the head.

And then they would grab these guys, take them to that wall, strip them down, turn them

around, point the gun at their heads and click it.

And just psychological warfare.

And Rock said one time on the show that eventually he just turned around, grabbed the rifle, stuck

it in his face and said, just do it.

And that's the last time they did that.

Wow.

That crazy.

Superhuman is what that is.

And then they, they screwed with them one last time.

They got them on the plane and the planes going and then they had to shut the plane off,

uh, just to screw with them one last time and waiting until Jimmy Carter was no longer

the president.

Wow.

Yeah.

Unbelievable.

So, and so, yeah, I mean, I have complicated feelings about it.

Uh, I'm no expert on, uh, warfare.

Uh, as you know, I'm not a big fan of the administration.

I don't trust Hegseth, but they are, you know, the people who run around are very bad

people and have killed thousands at least, uh, maybe more Americans and people abroad

and, you know, Hezbollah and, uh, Hamas and all of these proxies.

If, if by doing this, we could at least seriously stunt terrorism for 10 or 15 years.

That would be great.

Uh, the things I'm a bit uncomfortable with is that, um, no one's even pretending to have

a plan.

Uh, Lindsey Graham was on, uh, meet the press yesterday.

You know, Lindsey gets pissy, right?

And he got really wound up when Chris, Kristen Walker kept asking, well, what's the plan?

And he would say, that's not our problem.

Uh, we're not choosing who takes go over the Iranian people.

We'll choose who take over.

And okay, I, I, I, okay, I get it.

But shouldn't you have some ideas?

Right.

Who you want to, who you could, you know, put in there, um, so yeah, and what happened

to the break it, you own it doctrine.

I mean, they're just saying that's not true.

Well, they're putting a big onus on a bunch of folks out in the streets saying that it's

on you now to turn this over to your government.

I mean, at the end of the day, uh, there are still military capabilities inside of Iran

and you're asking college kids and others to go overthrow, uh, modern day military weapons.

Uh, that doesn't seem like a plan to me.

And I got to tell you, I did, did you get to see Hegsess speech this morning every word?

So I am one of those people look, I'm a partisan.

I'm not a fan of the administration either.

But whenever we're involved in world conflict, I'm on, we're Americans, it is particularly

when there's men and women and I have friends who currently serve inside of the United

States military.

What was disappointing to me was supposed to be a briefing today similar to what maybe

like what it was when Norman Schwartz got announced, you know, and they were going to say

what the initial stages of the invasion of Iraq were.

And Hegseth came out with that smart, alike liberal media stuff before anybody had ever

even asked a question.

I'm a person.

Right.

Fake news.

And I'm a person who's not supportive of the administration.

I'm supportive of the military and gosh darn it, you're my secretary of defense.

I want to hear what you have to say and to go to immediately start with insults.

I think they're real disservice to the military and the cause.

And I don't get why if this is truly a necessary action that Donald Trump and our administration

and our country chose to do, why you have to start in a combative nature with our own

people.

Just to tell us what your story is, tell us what you're doing, ask us to rally around

our troops.

Yeah.

Don't start with poking me in the eye.

Yeah.

And that was really aggravating to me this morning.

And it would be maybe it shouldn't be good enough for me.

But it would, it would, um, malify me if they simply said, look, were we going to get

nuked next month?

No.

Were we going to get nuked in the next five years, ten years, probably not?

But these guys are one of the worst bad actors in the world.

And Hamas, October 7th, that's Iran, all these, um, um, soldiers who come back with missing

limbs, those are IEDs.

That's typically Iran.

So we decided while they are at their weakest, let's just put them, let's just put them out.

Let's put them out.

It's going to cost us some blood and treasure now, but it will pay off in the future.

Yeah.

I mean, okay.

Because I don't trust you, but the words you're saying are making sense.

Right.

But and it's just day three.

This is the first work day, business day, show day we've had.

So we'll see what comes out.

But so far, I'm, I'm lacking for, well, aren't we owed as Americans an explanation, typically

when we invade a country or we bomb a country, the President of the United States speaks to

us, explains to us what our mission is, what they're trying to accomplish.

I feel like we are owed that right now.

We're, we're being told that this was an important, and I, hey, look, I'm, I'm, I'm open.

I'm here.

I'm here to hear what you want to tell me.

But I also remember three months ago, you told me that we had completely obliterated

their, uh, nuclear possibilities.

That's clearly changed.

You also told me a year ago when you were running for this job that you didn't want to

be involved in world conflicts anymore.

And then I wake up on a Saturday morning and here we are in the midst of maybe the largest

conflict of my lifetime.

I think this is potentially could wind up being bigger than Iraq and, and some of those

battles simply because we're doing this by ourselves with the Israelis.

I remember the months and months of build up to previous wars where we built together

a world coalition and the, the explanation of, oh, well, you're just a liberal and fake

news.

No, you owe us an explanation.

Tell us what we're doing.

We're paying for this.

Yeah.

The part that seems to be the biggest disconnect for me because I watched, uh, not live because

it was like one 15 in the morning, but I watched the president's eight minute, uh, recorded

video on hey, we've, we've attacked Iran and here's why.

And one of his big points was to the Iranian people.

Now's the time for you to step up and take over your country.

You'll never get another chance.

It's yours to take and so far I haven't seen any stepping up.

I think they're still hunkering down, right?

You know, they're, they're, we, there's a lot more to come and no one in Iran is safe

clearly because we hit that girl school.

I'm sure we're trying not to, but war is war.

Uh, but I think that's a big thing too is that Trump is maybe not depending on, but he's

certainly strongly hoping that the people rise up and so far, they're not.

Yeah.

I'm like, my ultimate fear is look, we're going to get through this.

We will prevail and whatever it is to find our objective is.

But I'm, I'm not naive enough to think that this ends six weeks from now when the president

says it does, uh, because eventually these folks are going to be radicalized and they're

coming back.

Yeah.

Tell you guys about my friend Charles D'Angelo, um, look, I'm going to, I'm going to make

this just a big call to action.

I'm sure you've heard of Charles.

He was on the show the other day.

He'll be on again at some point this week.

Uh, he's something of a phenomenon, um, and you can say, oh, it's all hype.

Look at him.

Tall and he's jacked with muscles and he used to be 160 pounds overweight, um, but, but

I can lose weight on my own.

You probably can't as Charles will admit to you the, the X's and O's, the bones of it.

What do I eat?

When do I eat it?

How do I work out?

Of course, it's different for every single person, but it's not all that complicated.

That's not the part you're really paying for.

You're paying for Charles to get you to the finish line as he has thousands of clients

in the past.

And we're talking, you know, famous people, millionaires who can go anywhere for their

fitness and, you know, plastic surgery and the whole thing, um, if you want to lose weight,

if you want to get in the best shape, you possibly can be at whatever age you are, just

stop yo-yoing, stop living and dying by what the scale says on any given morning, give

yourself a real chance to accomplish it.

Reach out to Charles at CharlesDangelow.com.

I miss you, remember I'll always be true, that DG has a cable X and one more, uh, thought

about the war and then we'll let it go until 2 p.m. when we have Colonel Jeff McCoslin

on and best guy in the world to have on, he will talk to us militarily and politically

and then, uh, Brad Young will be with us as well, get Brad's thoughts and, uh, there

you go.

Here's, here's something I always think about.

I'm a bit of a hoarder.

I wish I were a hoarder with money, but I'm not, it's mostly baseball gloves, but I always

think when, when we do this, I think what percentage of our arsenal are we using?

Are we using 25% of everything we have, we're using 2% of everything we have?

You know, it's like, is it a zero sum game?

We're going to run out.

I always think that like, wait, don't use all the cruise missiles.

Might be enough for China.

There has to be a ton of it out there, right?

I mean, look, if you've ever gone to St. Charles and gone up on North 94, there's the

Harpoon missile plant that Boeing has there and they're cranking stuff out day after

day after day.

I would, I would have to believe that now, who knows how much of our, our arsenal goes

to other countries.

Yeah.

Um, but I would think we've got to have a good stockpile and the other thing, we'll get

into this with Brad much more because I've forgotten a lot of the law that I learned.

But not only did I learn this in law school, but I has learned it in life in civics in

eighth grade, that Congress declares war.

And I know that Trump is far from the first president to go to war without declaring

war through Congress.

I think Bush didn't, uh, for Gulf War, yeah, when he went after, uh, Iraq, I think he

did it.

Um, but yeah, this is clearly a war, right?

If someone attacked us and killed the president and the whole cabinet, we'd call that a war.

Well, the second time we went to Iraq, my boss, uh, Congressman Dick Gephardt, who

was getting, who was the Democratic leader in the house put together the vote that allowed

that authorized the, uh, the military action.

Um, I think that's also what's disappointing.

Now I understand the, um, administration did visit with the gang at eight, eight people

that are, uh, he, he's required to communicate with.

He did visit with them, but he's not made his case publicly.

And I, I think that there are enough people that are going to examine, uh, the war powers

act here in the next week or so, because, uh, our own two senators from Missouri, I've

yet to hear them speak about where they stand on this military action.

Josh Holley's always been a skeptic of, of an administration being able to move on

its own.

And oddly enough, Eric Schmidt's been quiet too.

What are your thoughts?

I am really looking forward to, to talking to the colonel mainly because I, I, I want to,

I think he'll know why, like the good parts of this, the positives of it.

And I, I am a very dove person.

I'm not a, I'm, I'm very against, uh, war, I'm very America first.

Uh, and so I'm interested to hear why we should be doing this, because all I can think

about is why we shouldn't.

Yeah.

Well, we've had four reasons for that already, right?

We've had four Americans who have died, uh, three airplanes shot out of the sky.

Yeah.

And hope that my dreams will come true.

No, and all the people that come and go, stop and say hello, on the corners of my

mind.

Guys, DGS on camera wax, happy Monday.

As I said at the top of the show, going to be gloomy like this all week.

So just kind of settle in, try to enjoy it in some way.

Uh, rage is out sick today.

She should be back tomorrow.

Um, Andrews here, but not feeling well, uh, wheels is in Chicago.

He, uh, completed his trip, moving his daughter.

I was talking to him yesterday.

Sounds like the drive in the 15 foot truck through the mountains was awful.

Uh, but that's done.

He'll be back tomorrow.

A good friend, Michael Kelly from Hancock and Kelly is in until two.

Then he has a meeting.

Then he's going to be back from three to five.

And young will be here from two to three, talking to Colonel Jeff McCoslin at the top

of the hour.

So if you want to know what's really going on in Iran, stick around until two and listen

to the colonel, um, which looks like London out there.

It does, doesn't it?

Going to be like this all week, all week.

What a crazy Saturday, right?

I don't know.

I was out and about enjoying hitting golf balls.

And then Sunday.

Yeah.

You had to be bundled back up like we were going to get snow again.

It's crazy, huh?

I don't like it.

Were you guys awake last night for the, like, sleet?

Yeah.

I was coming down.

It started, uh, it started in my house at like seven or something, five, six, seven.

Oh.

And it, I mean, it's like, I turned my TV because I found it cozy.

I opened up the windows, turned off the TV and just kind of sat there and listened to

it.

It sounded really pretty, but I imagine it was pretty nasty to drive in.

So yeah.

It's an outside or anything, but all of a sudden it just started to hammer in my windows.

Yeah.

So you and I are bugging out of town here at the end of the week.

Sure.

And I'm coming back.

Yeah.

I'm thinking about not coming back.

Now, I am one of those people that when I leave town, I wanted to snow because then I feel

like it's a bonus on top of my vacation.

Yeah.

That's a real Chris Range thing to say.

Yeah.

Not only am I going to be out of town, but I'm going to know that if I was at home, I would

have been miserable.

Yeah.

And he famously says that if he dies, he hopes everyone else in the planet dies.

That sounds about right.

Yeah.

Very Range.

You don't miss anything, but it does.

You just feel better when you find out like, oh my God, they got three inches of snow

in St. Louis.

Yeah.

Baby.

I won't go that far, but when I go somewhere tropical and it's really nice at home, I'm

a little like, well, crap.

Right.

Yeah.

I wish that all my friends and family are enjoying 85 degrees, but I kind of like low

key, don't I guess that's a that's awfully virtuous of you.

Thank you.

Today is National Old Stuff Day.

And I bring this up mostly because you have told me that you fight your hoarding instincts

by keeping a very simple pristine hotel condo.

I live, I live like I'm in a hotel room.

Yeah.

And minimalist is what I would describe it as.

And it's a hard thing to break.

I've got a couple of sisters who are trying to get into it right now.

And minimalist from the sense that when I, if you go into your closet, you haven't worn

it in a year, you got to get rid of it, even if it's your favorite thing.

You're like Marie Condo.

Exactly.

And I don't like to save anything, but it takes some really deep thought.

You go to a cardinal game.

They hand you a magnet because it's the first game of the year.

You can't take it.

You have to start the blocking of free and useless stuff right there.

And otherwise it all accumulates.

Think of Andrew's car.

The amount of stuff that you can take from people.

And so I just got to a place where when I moved, I was like, nope, I'm never doing this

again.

I built a place like a hotel room.

And as a result, I don't keep anything and kind of wear the same six out, six sets

of clothes all the time and was wearing six sets of clothes, even when I had 300 things

to choose from.

It's the best way to live, dude.

Yeah.

And it saves you a ton of money.

Yeah.

And you don't realize the amount of time people spend looking at stuff.

I was on a trip with my family to Ireland.

And if I could have back all the time that was spent watching family and friends and

shops looking at stuff that they may or may not buy, I'd had two extra days in Ireland

to be around, we're roaming around.

You just don't need it.

Yeah.

I'm weird.

Everyone who listens to the show knows how I'm weird.

I get very, very little new stuff, but currently, I bet I have eight boxes.

Nothing expensive.

I don't buy expensive stuff.

I really don't.

Eight eBay boxes that, with a gun to my head, I couldn't tell you what's in there.

I have no idea.

And then when I open it, I'm like, why did you buy that?

Why?

I still have a three-inch tall figurine of the hamburger glor because four years ago,

Rachel called him the hamburger glor.

And I decided to get her one from eBay and that mofo still staring at me on top of my

refrigerator.

That's great.

Yeah.

You see, you've seen the show on television that we're, I guess there's like storage

lockers that get, you know, people fill them up with large floors.

Right.

Storage Wars.

Best show.

Could you get suckered into that, like buying a storage locker?

Oh my gosh.

I have a storage locker in my building and I store nothing in it.

Wow.

Yeah.

You had stuff.

You could throw it in there.

But when I watch that on television, it's just mind blowing to me because I'm thinking,

why would I want somebody else to jump?

No, I guess they're looking for the little gems.

They're looking for, yeah.

They're looking for anything.

So what they do right is they open it and then you can look inside, but you can't go

through anything.

So you just kind of got a guess like, ooh, I bet there's some good stuff in those boxes.

Right.

And then you bid on, you know, how much you would pay for that storage.

I love that show.

And it first came out that one girl was really hot and everyone had a really distinct personality

and I bought into it.

Yeah.

Later I found out they were cheating.

They were putting stuff in the storage.

Lockers.

Stacking it.

And then you're like, why am I watching this?

Well, you'll always read a story occasionally.

It'll show up on drug reporter something where somebody will find like an old Porsche that's

never been driven because it was in a storage locker.

That would be cool to find.

But somebody's tickling me Elmo or, you know, a Pokemon card, thanks anyway.

Those are worth a lot of money though.

The Pokemon's.

Oh, yeah.

I don't get it.

That's the big thing right now.

I mean, that's a insane scalper market at the moment for stuff like that.

Drew, did you get injured?

You get into the Pokemon that was on your phone that that Pokemon go really not as much

as not as much as you might expect.

Well, so a lot of people got like super crazy into it.

I never I never really did.

So we I have an office here downtown and it's it's about a block from the city museum.

And the city museum, particularly in the summertime, has herds of children with their

parents walking.

Well, apparently one of these little things was in my office.

I'm on the first floor.

And so you'd hear all this little talk outside of our windows and stuff.

What in the heck is going on?

You'd open it up and it's like they're waiting for George Clooney to come out or something.

And you'd see these people on their phone trying to mix the and I we finally figured out

that we had a gizmo in there and they said you could go online and tell them we don't

want.

Yeah, because they didn't ask before they before they would do that.

They didn't ask you before making it like a gym or a stop or whatever.

There was one Epstein Island.

Yeah, there was one on Epstein Island, for example.

And so they would just do these things randomly.

And just like take any what they would, you know, what looked like a significant location

or something in the downtown or whatever.

Right.

And then they said, and so no one knew that they had this, you know, attached to it until,

like you said, you find out you can go online and say, like, hey, I don't want to get

this off of here.

And then and that was at a time where the living, the Larry Rice Shelter was right across

the street from us.

And so he closes that in the middle of the day, he made everybody go out, it's no longer

there.

And it was just funny because you'd have a bunch of, not funny, a bunch of three year olds

and a bunch of homeless folks all standing around and you're thinking, what are these people

all doing together?

Sounds like they're playing Pokemon.

Sounds like the preschool we have in this building, right?

Seriously.

Is it still here?

They shut them down for six weeks because they let a kid wander off.

Yeah.

And they were on probation and now they're back and like, oh, I got a show.

Oh, yeah.

I got, there's a bunch of preschools in downtown.

It's kind of cute when you see them out walking because they, they do that elephant train

where they all hold on.

They all hold each other.

They go walking places.

We do that on the show.

And we go to lunch.

But otherwise I get lost.

I want my kid at a preschool in the middle of the heart of the business district.

Do you know what I mean?

It just doesn't seem.

I wouldn't exactly call us the heart of the business district, but the, the relic of

the business district, the bones, the bones, right?

The homeless district.

Where would you call the business district of San, is it's Clayton, right?

I guess it is.

I think so.

Yeah.

I don't, I don't know what you'd call downtown anymore.

Yeah.

It didn't used to be.

Where we host sporting events.

I'm going to say one more time.

I've said it so many times, but I graduated from law school in 90 and my first job was

in the boatman's bank, sure, tower, tower, big building and 100 north Broadway.

And you had to wait in line to go to lunch, right?

Like the lettuce leap was down there and all these different restaurants and you don't have

to wait in line so much these days.

No, it's really sad.

It feels apocalyptic.

Yeah.

I lived at 20th in Washington in the sporting news for a while.

And this sporting news building and it was redone and Escape from New York was filmed

there.

I love that.

Right.

And they used to the bombed out San Lewis to do it.

And it was kind of cool because they had the pictures of Escape from New York, et cetera.

And that was 24 years ago and pretty much looks the same.

Yeah.

One of the big fight scenes in Escape from New York is in the Grand Hall of Union Station.

Right.

And it's torn to pieces.

And now it's really cool.

Right.

The Union Station is very beautiful.

You ever go to the whispering wall there?

Yeah.

I can't make it work.

You can't.

No.

How can you not make it work?

Didn't we do it one time?

I think the person I was doing it with was screwing with me.

Yeah, I think so.

Like, do you hear it, am I?

Maybe I hear it.

I'm not sure.

Should we give an update on wheels or is that personal information?

No.

Give it to him.

Okay.

This is from Wheeler.

M.E.F.R.

We're stuck getting off the plane.

They have to do maintenance checks because they think they say fuel leaking from the engine.

F.

Ooh.

He's in Chicago.

Yeah.

Go run a car, dude.

Transplanes and automobiles.

Drive it home.

That's what I'm saying.

It's like you know.

Drive it home.

That's what I'm saying.

It's like you know.

Drive it home.

I'm being wild back in penny lane.

There is a fireman with an hourglass.

And in his pocket, I'll look at all the lovely people.

Helena Rakebex up the rice in the church where a wedding has been.

Lives in a dream, waits at the window.

Wearing a thorn, guys.

S on Kamawex.

We apologize about no stream today.

But Rake is out feeling under the weather.

And she is our stream person.

Michael Kelly is still here.

He has to leave for a meeting.

He'll be back at three and stay with us until five.

Brad Young just walked in the door.

So I can't thank you enough.

Thanks so much for coming in.

Oh, happy to do it.

Appreciate it.

We have Colonel Teppecoslin coming up at two.

But first, let me just get your thoughts.

You woke up Saturday morning.

We're at war with Iran.

What do you think?

Well, my first concern as anytime that there's any sort of military action.

My first concern is where there'll be boots on the ground.

You know, we saw what a debacle Iraq was.

We saw what a debacle Afghanistan was.

And my first concern was, oh no.

You know, we bombed last year in operation midnight hammer.

I think was the name of it.

And that was from the get go.

We knew it was just going to kind of be a one-off.

Which, by the way, this is really nitpicky.

But can we stop having 13 year old boys name the wars?

Epic fury in midnight hammer.

Oh, I know.

That's the way they all are.

It's like, it's like, Thor himself, apparently.

So that was kind of a one-off.

And I thought, okay, I wasn't worried about it.

But then Saturday, when we saw the news break, my concern was,

since the point, at least the stated point was regime change.

My concern was this, the only way you can really effectively

accomplish regime change is boots on the ground.

It's the only way you're going to do it.

And so when he said that, I thought, oh crap, here we go.

This is Iran.

This is a rock 2.0 is really what this is.

We're going to be there for the next 30 years.

And by the way, now we got Marco Rubio is apparently president of Venezuela, president of Cuba.

And it's now president of Iran, apparently, all three at the same time.

Yeah, Saturday, the same day that we hit Iran, both the president and Marco,

we're talking about Cuba's next.

And Lindsay talked about it to Cuba's next.

Well, I just don't know how many countries can Marco Rubio be president.

I just don't know how that's going to work.

But seriously, after the initial campaign started, I started feeling better because everything

that I heard after the initial announcement was, yeah, we're going to do a regime change,

but it's only going to be strikes by missiles.

It's only going to be air strikes.

There's not going to be boots on the ground.

And to me, that is because you could have people die in military exercises.

But if you're going to put boots on the ground, you're talking big casualties,

you're talking a commitment over time, you're talking a terrorist component where they attack back.

If someone tried to occupy the United States, don't come by my house because I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment, right?

So you have to deal with that kind of an insurgency if you have boots on the ground.

So I'm feeling better today than I felt Saturday.

What about help us to understand because I swear Congress declares wars is one of the first things

I learned in civics and like eighth grade, but we just don't do it anymore.

No, we don't.

And if push comes to shove, I think at the end of the day, if the Democrats in Congress want to challenge the president,

I mean, he has no problem taking anything to court, right?

He's got lots of lawyers and he likes to use them.

And there has been this understanding over the past decades that we all know that the War Powers Act may not be completely constitutional,

but we're all going to abide by it.

And if Trump doesn't abide by the War Powers Act or the War Powers Resolution and decides to take it to court, my concern,

and it really is a concern, I like the War Powers Resolution.

It provides checks and balances on Congress, by Congress, on the executive branch.

But if it goes to the Supreme Court, particularly with this Supreme Court, I think it could be ruled unconstitutional in its entirety,

and we would be worse off for it.

And would we pull out?

Well, the War Powers Act has several different triggers as it were.

The first one is that the president has to advise Congress within 48 hours of any substantial military action.

That has been done.

Secondly, it allows the president 60 days for an engagement with a 30-day pullout, 90 days.

So we'll see what happens in 90 days.

The Dave Glover Show is sponsored by the Michael's Flooring Outlet, the Flooring Experts.

I got Floor.com

I look at all the lovely people

Welcome back guys.

DG S on KMOX.

Weird day for us here in the show.

Rage is out sick.

Kevin Wheeler is playing trains on automobiles.

He's flying back from Chicago.

His plane was just leaking fuel, so they're putting him on another plane.

We have Brad Young sitting in for them.

Attorney Brad Young, he's always great.

And now we welcome back to the show.

Friend of the show, Colonel Jeff McCoslin.

I always appreciate you, but I really appreciate you today.

I know that you're going in a million directions, so thank you.

Dave's always a pleasure.

I'm just going to throw it to you, man.

Will you get up on Saturday morning like the rest of us?

Probably a bunch earlier.

You can see an enclosure.

What did you think?

What do you think?

Well, sadly, I was not terribly surprised.

It appeared to me after the negotiations in the previous Thursday,

which had achieved no breakthrough.

The maximum that the Iranians were willing to offer didn't even reach the minimum

that the Trump administration family was required in terms of negotiation number one.

And second of all, it seemed to me that we had positioned the military force required

for an attack of this size.

And so the question is, how long can we keep that fourth position before you pull the trigger

and actually execute?

So I had actually called CVS candidly on Friday and told them that I expected something to happen

the next couple of days.

One thing was slowed down.

I thought might have been the weather or something like that.

Colonel Brad Young here and not to diminish the importance of this,

but we've all seen Tomahawk missile launches before.

We've seen B2 bombers.

We've seen F-15s.

We've seen F-35s.

But the one thing that struck me about this military action over the weekend and through today

is that the US has started using drones.

Particularly, I think they're called Lucas drones, which are reverse engineered,

Shaheed 136 drones that ironically Iran makes.

But my question to you is this, how much of a paradigm shift is this for the US military

to go from wanting one to $3 million missiles to going and using $35,000 armed drones?

No, it's an enormous paradigm shift.

And of course, I thought about largely by the war in Ukraine and one need to keep in mind

that this really cascades across the forest, not only in terms of attack drones like these Lucas,

but in terms of using drones for surveillance.

In pinpointing targets, removing any possibility for the battlefield not to be totally transparent.

So those are so many other advantages doing things like battle damage assessment,

which I'm sure they're using drones right now for two in terms of look at a target

after this is hit and determine whether or not you have to go ahead and do it again.

And second of all, using weapons like this cascades again in another direction.

That is, if you use a pilot aircraft, then you've got to have somewhere in the region

the ability to recover that pilot if he or she is shot down or has an issue with their aircraft

where the drone, if it goes in, if it gets shot down, that's unfortunate,

but you don't have that particular type of requirement.

And even beyond that, I know for a fact that we've been working for a number of years,

not only with aerial drones, but with submarine drones, where one large submarine

could deploy several smaller drone submarines that could sit on the ocean floor

and then be called upon to conduct military operations or again to conduct surveillance.

And one of the things, Colonel, that we've seen again over the last few times

that the Tomahawk missile barrage has been utilized by various presidents,

is that these things typically happen at night.

And yet we saw in Iran the attack happened during broad daylight.

What was the difference here and why did the U.S. shift to a daylight attack

as opposed to their normal nighttime attacks?

It has nothing to do with the technology or the actual weapon itself.

What I have to do with it, I think primarily is nighttime attacks are done

because it normally reduces collateral damage.

You're going on a military target, but there are very few civilians moving around

because you're really trying to make it so you can destroy the target.

Yes, but doing it in a fashion in a lot of civilians or a hurt

so that goes for the nighttime attack.

The daylight attacks this time seems to be based on intelligence that was gathered

in the United States or with the Israelis.

We know we've been coordinating intelligence gathering between those two countries

that early that morning they identified three senior meetings of Iranian leadership

and those three targets will hit simultaneously that particular morning,

one of which apparently included the grand knowledge, I had told how many

the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Force and others.

So I think it was the identification of that particular group at that moment.

So we may have thought the United States attacks at night

so we're relatively safe conducting this meeting now

and they certainly found out they were wrong.

Maybe you permitted a moment of levity here.

Never have Brad Young on his your co-host.

I have Colonel Jeff because I'm like so Colonel me good or ran bad

and he's like so the Shaheed 135 has been reversed.

I'm like what the hell is he talking about?

I'm sitting here like oh my.

You're bringing the noise, Brad Young.

Well it's an area of interest of mine.

And if I can ask we're talking of course to Colonel Jeff McCoslin,

friend of the show.

And Colonel we've learned here over the course of the weekend

that of course the first strike took out Iranian air defense systems.

And then once the initial strike was done we saw the beetos right here

from our home state of Missouri at Whiteman coming in

and dropping dropping GPU large cluster type bombs.

But now where do we go from here in terms of an attack scenario

now that the US and Israel have achieved air superiority over Iran?

Well we go from here I think is continued average to data grade

in particular Iran's ability to launch missiles.

It was estimated at the start of this particular conflict

that the Iranians still retained about 2000 longer range missiles.

Those could strike as far to the west as Israel or even into central Europe.

And then medium range missiles that could strike countries in the region

think Kuwait, think Saudi Arabia, think the United Arab Emirates

and about 200 launchers.

So the effort now is to destroy those particular launch platforms.

If you will take out the bow and not worry about the arrows so much

to preclude their capability of building that and threatening countries in the region.

And second of all of course their ability to in the aftermath

reassess and reconstruct and build more so their production facilities.

And then finally tell them we've been talking about how do you take out their drone capability?

Because we know they've been very good at producing drones.

Once you produce drones they can pretty much be launched from anywhere.

So they can be dispersed very quickly so you'll make sure you take out those.

If you can find a concentration number one and number two take out

production facilities for the drones as well.

We're talking to Colonel Jeff McCoslin and Colonel.

I'm going to shift from the military analysis to a political angle if you will.

And we've seen over the course of the weekend that in its retaliatory strikes from Iran

they've struck many of its Arab neighbors including Kuwait,

United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and others.

Do you see from a political standpoint once Iran started a firing retaliatory strikes

against its neighboring Arab countries?

Do you see there building a coalition here not just the United States and Israel but a greater coalition

in terms of shutting down Iran militarily?

Yeah I think in many ways they're picking allies for us.

You know we began to stick your conflict with only one ally that was Israel.

He compared that to 2003 when we invaded Iraq and George Bush had worked very hard

prior to the invasion.

We had 48 countries at least signed up in a coalition of the willing.

We had nothing like that going to this war and even sell our closest allies

like in British and said they didn't want to allow us to use their bases

to conduct any kind of operation like this.

Now if the conduct is attacked against those countries, many of them I think are now

more or less coalescing with the United States and even some of our allies are talking

about allowing us to use their facilities.

So I think the Iranians may have made a significant strategic error here.

They probably calculated that they sort of attacking Saudi Arabia,

Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.

Those particular countries were immediately started urging the United States to stop

halt, you know, restrain yourself in these thicker and bring this to a close

along them to survive albeit in a damaged fashion.

But in reality what has happened is those countries have coalesced more and more

with the United States.

There are also even reports that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia,

well how has been Taliban, may have been urging President Trump for some while,

along with Prime Minister Netanyahu, by the way of Israel, to do this particular attack.

Colonel, is there something in particular why our typical NATO allies didn't want any part of this?

Well, they're concerned, of course, in terms of international law.

What was the base under international law?

You know, the administration has tried to argue there was some kind of an imminent threat.

So I don't think really holds a whole lot of water.

I mean, our Secretary of State is that they were not enriching uranium.

We had conducted a large scale attack last June, which we destroyed their nuclear facility.

In fact, the Trump administration insisted we use the word obliterated their nuclear facility.

And yes, they possess ballistic missiles to threaten Israel,

but they possess those particular weapons for decades.

If you want to country with an imminent threat with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons,

where you'd probably go after North Korea, oh, by the way.

So they didn't buy, if you will, the international legal basis for this,

that there was some kind of an imminent threat that demanded you conduct these particular attacks at this moment.

And furthermore, I think they probably calculated there was still room for negotiations,

the commodities, which have been the intermediary for those negotiations,

said progress had been made in the aftermath of the last meeting,

and they expected further meetings to occur.

So I noted in the eight-minute speech that the President gave on Saturday morning

that he kept encouraging the people of Orion to rise up, take your government back.

It's yours for the taking. This will be your last chance in generations.

I haven't seen him doing that yet. I don't blame him.

They're still having bombs drop on him, but if they don't do that at all,

and we knock them back ten years, is that worth it to you?

Yeah, that's a pretty tough question.

And we'll see how this all turns out in every garden what that looks like.

But I think you're right.

And if we haven't seen the people rise up, but of course,

while the bombs are falling, that's difficult to do.

And even the President recommended that they stay in their homes until the campaign was completed,

and that might be several weeks.

But it seems to me also, frankly, kind of unlikely that we'll see that kind of rising

that might turn the government upside down.

Don't forget only about a month ago, the population rose up in a social unrest,

particularly in Tehran and major cities.

And at least 7,000 people were killed.

Some say it might have been 20 or 30,000.

Well, that's more people being killed in the matter of a few days

and the streets of Tehran and elsewhere than we lost in terms of soldiers killed in action

in Iran or in Iraq and in Afghanistan over a period of 20 years.

So this regime is brutal and realizes this is all an existential threat.

So if the population does rise up, why do we believe there would be successful

against a regime that is a brutal and is also armed in a teeth with six,

maybe five or six hundred thousand total army,

Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen and Baji's paramilitaries,

in turning that upside down adds in some leading figure to unify the population,

which I don't see out there on the horizon.

Number one, and some fracturing of that security force,

whereby some of it might actually join some type of popular revolution.

We're talking to Colonel Jeff McCoslin and Colonel.

I watched the press conference this morning with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Kane.

And he laid out the military objectives, not necessarily the political,

but the military objectives that he was given by the president.

Now, given what you've seen so far, and I'm asking you to look in your crystal ball,

but how long do you anticipate, based on what you know today,

how long do you anticipate it's going to take before those objectives are achieved?

Well, after the front of General Kane, he has, of course,

the intimate knowledge of battle damage assessment and the target list.

And he and the secretary of defense are saying it could be four to six weeks.

Those ticket timelines have been echoed by the president of four weeks or so,

but this might take, so this could go on for a significant period of time.

I thought that General Kane was very candid and measured in his remarks as well,

in terms of not how long it would take, but also the fact that we might expect to see a more cast.

At least we know four U.S. service members have been killed for more of a badly injured,

far in this particular operation, and we got to keep in mind as we're talking.

There's 40 to 50,000 young Americans in the Middle East on the ground,

and some 10 to 15,000 more of float in the Arabian Sea and in the Mediterranean.

And those youngsters are at harm's way as we're talking right now.

Colonel, you are very much appreciated in St. Louis. Thank you, my friend.

Take care.

We're making all his nowhere plans for nobody.

Welcome back to G. S.N. Kamawex, gloomy, gloomy Monday.

I think you're going to find it's going to be like this pretty much the rest of the week.

Dave Murray will be with us a little over an hour.

Kind of a mishmash of our friends today on the show.

And I think that's a great range is not under death better, anything,

but she got sick over the weekend.

And we decided to give her the day off and let her get better for tomorrow.

Wheeler should be getting on a plane in about eight minutes.

And he will be back tomorrow.

Michael Kelly was in earlier. He had a meeting.

He's coming back at three.

Brad Young is here with us now.

Want to talk religion?

Absolutely.

I had a thought when you looked outside and you said it's kind of gloomy,

I thought it was kind of like London weather only with us having better teeth.

Yes.

Well, speak for yourself.

Yeah.

Okay.

She can say I do.

Okay, religion.

Yes.

As I believe you know, I'm an agnostic.

I am a, I always feel stupid, say my very spiritual agnostic.

I'm a very hopeful agnostic.

And I spend quite a bit of time thinking about the afterlife,

which my friend Andrew does not.

We established that last Friday.

And last time I was watching TikTok and I saw a fellow agnostic say,

I am a Christ inspired agnostic in that I have studied the New Testament.

I love everything about the figure Jesus Christ.

I love his teachings.

I think he was very smart.

He was very radical.

And I agree with everything.

He says, I completely embrace the teachings of Christ.

I'm just not convinced he was the son of God.

How does that hit you?

Well, it hits me like this Dave that one of the things I think that most people misunderstand

about religion is that they think that religion is a set of beliefs,

a set of practices, and a set of rituals.

But when I hear what your person was, your friend is telling you,

or the guy you saw a dick doc was saying, it reminds me that true faith is not about practices and religion,

but true faith is about a relationship.

So for example, here's a great example.

I spend all day, every day, all week long reading medical records.

I depose doctors every week.

I can tell you more about the internal workings of the shoulder and the knee

than some general practitioners.

But you don't want me ever performing surgery on your knee, okay?

I know about the knee, but I don't have a relationship with the knee such that I could do surgery.

And that's the way that I look at faith.

And so you can know all about Jesus, but where that person on TikTok is missing the boat

is that they're missing the relationship with Jesus.

And those are two different things.

I know you'll have a great answer to this, but if God is who you think He is,

He knows exactly precisely what it would take to convince me

and every other agnostic on the planet Earth.

It's in His power.

Yes.

Why wouldn't He just do that?

Why, I guess it's...

And we have like two minutes left, we're getting...

I can answer two minutes.

Look at...

All right.

Here's the thing.

When you...

When you look at faith as a relationship, then in that context, a person has to desire that relationship,

not be beat over the head and convinced of that relationship.

For example, if a person has a spouse, you love that spouse, you're not coerced into marriage.

And so if there was overwhelming evidence, if Jesus just showed up and said to John Smith on TikTok,

I want you to believe in me, that would not be a faith or a love-based relationship.

That would be, oh, my goodness, I just saw you.

I've got nothing else to do but to accept you.

But that's not the way that God draws people to Himself.

It's kind of fun.

It's just fun.

You know, who can't do this, Rachel and Wheeler?

Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Wheeler gets too mad.

Yeah, he'd be ball-pissed and everything.

Mm-hmm.

Let me tell you guys about my friend Susan L. Ward and she's a very, very good friend of mine.

I've known Susan for 30 years at least because when I started my practice, I was doing divorce law,

and I didn't know much about it.

She took me under her wing and helped me to not look like a fool when I would go to court.

She has been doing this for decades.

I can't imagine anyone in town, including judges, would know any more about the judicial system

about how to try a family law case than Susan.

But she's not just a barracuda, right?

Like you watch too many television shows.

She can be very aggressive.

She can be very protective.

She can even be mean.

But it doesn't come out of the box that way.

She knows that sometimes you need a soft touch.

Now here's my best advice.

If you're thinking about a divorce, talk to anyone you want to talk to.

Talk to a trusted friend.

Talk to a clergy person.

Talk to a therapist.

But before you do anything, before you say anything to your spouse, make sure you talk to her.

Make sure you talk to a good divorce attorney because the facts on the ground of what it's going to be like for you

may be such that you change your mind at least for a while.

I think that's good advice.

Looking back, guys, DGS on Kamileks.

233-Gloomy Monday out there.

A weird day on the show.

Rage is out sick.

Wheeler is literally getting on a plane right now to fly back from Chicago.

He drove to North Carolina.

I know I'm sorry.

He took a plane to North Carolina.

Then he drove a 15 foot U-Haul box truck

through the mountains to Chicago.

And then unloaded everything.

That he's a girl.

And Brad, young is sitting in with us right now.

Michael Kelly is going to be here at 3 p.m. Bernie McClendon joins us.

Hello, Bern.

Good afternoon.

I don't know if I was on live air when I chuckled because I had this vision in my head of Wheeler in a truck,

like bouncing up and down as he's going through the mountains.

He's just looking like a crazy maniac.

Just looking angry the whole time.

He's just like, God.

Okay, before we get into sports.

Sure.

On the break, Brad Young, who I already think is a brilliant guy just knows so much about the law,

starts telling us how he built his first two computers.

So I kind of hate him.

And then you're Bernie McClendon.

You're a Hall of Famer.

You're a legend.

What are you guys bad at?

Where are your blind spots in life?

Bernie, go ahead.

I'll defer to you on this, Bernie.

Just general blind spots in life?

Like anything?

You're just not great at.

Oh my gosh.

I can't fix anything around a house.

Hey, man.

Nothing.

And I grew up.

God bless my late father.

But it's one of those things, man.

It depends on the house you grow up in.

You have a father who's a handyman.

He can do anything.

Just all of a sudden, he said, I'm going to build a bedroom.

And it started like three days.

I was never around that stuff.

So I am totally useless when it comes to that.

It's kind of embarrassing, actually.

My dad was a carpenter.

And he could kind of, he built the house that my mom and dad lived in for 60 years.

But he was not patient.

And so I was one of those kids where he's like, here kid, hold this board or hold this light.

And of course, I'd get distracted.

And then here comes the GDs and the MFs.

So I can't do anything either.

I have zero skills.

Well, Bernie, if it's any consolation at my house, my wife does all of the fix it repair work around my house.

100% of it.

Because I'm terrible.

And unless it's a computer, then I can tear it apart and work on it.

But everything but that it's all on the spouse.

You know, I got so many weaknesses and blind spots.

I mean, I don't know.

I could fill it up.

You wouldn't have to have anybody else coming on as a guest.

I just, I'm a sports writer and a broadcaster.

And, you know, some people would say I'm not very good at either one of those things.

So that's all I know.

That's it.

Let's talk about the manager given a two year extension and an option by the team for 29.

I guess it is now your thoughts.

That's the right thing to do.

I mean, I mean, I'll be normal.

Actually is a better manager than I think a lot of people give him credit for.

I mean, took over the cardinals at a time where the talent was starting to dissipate.

It was especially after 2022.

Guys got old pitching fellow part, farm system, fellow part.

Payroll went down.

I mean, not a good time to, uh, to be the manager of the cardinals, but, um, if you look at,

not to get too fancy pants to typologize, you know, if you look at.

Some of the metrics and, and I'm really big on, you know, one metric as a guy named Clay Davenport, who's brilliant.

He'll tell you what a team's record should be based on all these factors.

Uh, with Ali Marmel as the manager, the cardinals are, they've won 15 games more than they should have.

And they've never, never in his four years, not any of those years.

Did they lose more games than they should have?

You know, the point being in a transition and from the cardinals went from being a really good team to an average team and a mediocre team.

The talent level dropped.

A lot of mistakes made.

You know, to take over at this time as a manager, I, I, I'm comfortable in saying, you know, he squeezed about as much out of these teams as he could have.

And I think that his background suits him very well to a rebuilding project and furthermore,

high-bloom deserves to pick his manager for that.

And he got to know, he got to know, uh, Ali Marmel really well the last two years.

They're, they're compatible. They're philosophically a match.

They have disagreements. They challenge each other.

But you want guys that when you're starting to rebuild, it's a critical, critical time for the franchise.

You better have the president-based ball operations and the manager fully aligned on what the approach should be and what the priority should be.

So I'm good with it. I'm, I really am. I, I don't know what people were expecting here.

Bernie, JJ Weatherholt, at least as far as I could tell, has been one of the big storylines out of Jupiter.

I read recently that MLB pipeline has them as a top five prospect.

And I know right now he's kind of competing for that starting position on the team.

What are you seeing in term?

What are you seeing, I guess, is what I want to get at in terms of his readiness to start

when, uh, when spring trainings over in the real games begin?

Brad, I would say this. What I'm looking forward to is March the 26th.

First game, Bush Stadium, Tampa Bay Rays at Cardinals, bottom of the first.

The guy who's on the on deck circle and walks to home plate and gets a rousing ovation as the first cardinal to bat in 2026.

That will be JJ Weatherholt.

I mean, I'm right.

First of all, he's on the team.

He's on the team that there is no way he's not on the team to start the season.

The only question is whether he'll bat lead off.

And to me, he is easily the best suited player they have to bat lead off because he has tremendous plate discipline.

He'll take walks. He doesn't chase junk off the plate.

He'll make the pitchers pitch to him.

And guy loves to take walks.

If you're going to, if you're going to walk him, he'll stand there and take the walk.

So the point is he'll be on base a lot.

He he has tremendous on base skills.

And I think that's what you want the lead off hole.

Bernie, anybody, uh, I hate to say below, but you know what I mean?

People that were unexpected to even be looking at to make the roster.

Any of the prospects in spring training so far, who you've liked the pop in their bad or the jump in their step?

Boy, that's a really great question.

I, it isn't so much stats they've put up, but it's kind of what they represent.

You know, they signed this left fielder Nelson Velasquez.

And he hasn't hit for any power yet, but he's looked from an understanding.

He looks good at the plate.

You know, the guy is just two years ago.

He had a bunch of home runs and let, you know, his, he sort of fell apart.

He had a rebuild his offense and swing and all that.

And then last year, he played Mexico, but then the Pirates signed him to a triple A contract.

Then he, then he went on a spree in Mexico and playing for the Pirates farm team,

where he put up a lot of power numbers.

And so I'm intrigued by him because they're so desperate for a power bet.

And he can play left field. He can play a little first base. He could D.H.

I'm not saying he's going to make the club.

I'm just saying, boy, he does fit something that they really, really need.

It's going to be a question of whether he's good enough or really,

whether they think he's good enough to step in and do that.

But I guess the good news is they can send them to triple A and not lose them.

They don't have to expose them the waiver.

So if he doesn't make the team opening day, you know, I think he'd be a strong candidate to come up here at some point.

But I, I just keep, I just keep waiting for some people to pop, you know, Walker,

Jordan Walker, Victor Scott, Thomas C.J.C.

I can name some others. I'm just waiting for some people to pop, you know,

Avanna Herrera once he gets, gets situated, starts playing more.

Yeah.

I, I think the pitchers of, I, I think the pitching in general has been terrific.

And I think Richard Fitz, he's not a kid, but he is a guy that needs to like,

fight to earn a job that, the guy that they got on the sunny great trade, Richard Fitz.

He, he's looked the best of any cardinal starting pitcher so far.

I mean, his stuff was electric in his first start.

Well, there, there was a guy that I, I saw a couple of times.

I don't remember what day I saw the games, Bernie, but I believe his name was Luis Gastelum.

Oh, yeah.

He's a prospect right now. Is he going to make the team?

I understand he's got a mean change up.

But do you see him making the team?

Um, Brad, here's a way I look at it because,

Ali Marmel and the Cardinals in time bloom will definitely be the same way.

They're going to go through a, they're going to cycle through a bunch of believers this year.

They're just going to because that's a, that's baseball in 2026.

But the Cardinals are very good in the way they run a bullpen in the way they handle everything

and the way they, they move guys in and out.

I got to believe he's going to be part of the bullpen at some point because you mentioned it.

That change up is absolutely a beautiful thing to watch because hitters don't know what to do with it.

And that thing just disappears on him.

I mean, the drop on that, the vertical drop is crazy.

Um, he'll be up here.

I don't know if it'll be at the start of the season,

but there's no doubt in my mind he's going to be a Cardinal at some point in 2026.

How about JoJo?

What do you think of him for JoJo for this season?

Well, JoJo's got to do the Cardinals a favor.

And he's got to be really, really good about what he, what he does best,

which is, you know, he's a shutdown guy against left handed hitters because he's a left handed reliever.

He's okay against right handed, right handed batters, but he's lefty versus lefty.

He's your strength.

That's your matchup.

He's the killer late in games and those kind of matchups.

So what he's got to do is pits really, really well.

And he's got to stay healthy.

And then high bloom can flip him at the trade deadline for a good return.

Well, I've got a blues question if we've got time for this issue.

And that is, that is this.

You know, I hope I can answer it.

Well, Bernie, you will.

It felt very odd to me in the Olympics rooting against Jordan Bennington.

It's just felt wrong.

We were watching it.

I'm like, okay, come on, miss it.

Miss this one.

But now I think he's come back and now he's on the injured reserve.

So how is that going to impact the blues having Jordan Bennington out?

Well, they're, I mean, they're obviously up again because they're,

their chance of making playoff is extremely remote just based on the odds.

But what I want to know is, what all of us I think want to know is,

is, is, is, is Jordan Bennington going to be here beyond the end of the season?

Because he has one year to go in his contract.

And I think there's a market form.

And I think teams would be able to make a trade after the season.

They'll have a lot more flexibility compared to trying to do it at the deadline,

especially he's on injured reserve.

So I think the whole Jordan Bennington question,

will he be a blue next season?

It's too early to say, but there will be interest in them.

So is it time for a blues rebuild sort of like the Cardinals are doing?

Or have they already started it and they just don't talk about it?

Well, they like to call it a re-tool.

Yeah, it's definitely time for another re-tool.

It's just how far they're willing to go with Doug Armstrong and Alexander Steen.

I mean, you know, Robert Thomas seems to be, what's the word I want?

Maybe, maybe the line you draw up.

Okay.

They really trade Robert Thomas who's still young.

He still has an affordable contract.

All things considered, and he's a really good player.

If you can get a treasure trove of stuff for him to do it,

or do you keep them and try to build back around him?

That's a really challenging question.

But, you know, can I branch off your point?

And I'll be quick.

I promise.

Yeah.

You know, it's interesting because the Cardinals are rebuilding.

And as you know, in many circles, you know, among sports fans in St. Louis and beyond,

you know, the Cardinals are rebuilding.

It's the end of the world as they know it.

This is an outrage.

Sell the team.

This, that, this, that, this, that.

This is the first re-build the Cardinals have had since, you know,

build a wit took over, really, because he had to fix that team when he became the owner,

which he did.

They haven't had a rebuild since then, since the mid-90s.

But if you look at the blues, I mean,

how many, how many rebuilds of they had, whether they want to call them rebuilds,

retools, how many times do they much start over?

It's been, it happens quite a bit.

Listen, I love St. Louis City, SC.

SC.

So I'm not trying to take shots at them, right?

But they had a great first year.

They've two, two lousy years.

This year's not off to a good start.

There's talking about them rebuilding.

They've been in existence three years in a couple months.

And it's like, yet when the Cardinals have to rebuild for the first time in three decades,

it's like they've committed some time of horrible, horrible, unforgivable thing.

You know, I don't, it's really weird, it's really weird to me.

It's really weird to me.

So true.

It's almost like having like three kids and one is clearly the brightest.

And you just expect a lot more from them.

You know, the other ones you're like, yeah, just don't poop your pants.

Yeah.

No, that's right.

You know, like you have, you know, a couple of kids are kind of underachievers.

And they, they're, they're, they're kind of distracted.

They wander wander around.

And as a parent, like you're thrilled, they come home with like a, you know, with some seat.

You're thrilled.

Exactly.

Right?

Yeah.

But if, if you're a star kid, you know, it gets an A minus or a B plus, it's like, what do you do it?

There you go.

What are you doing?

There's your next video.

I like it.

I can hear it already.

I love it.

All right.

Yeah.

I'm happy to do it.

Great being with you all is, is usual.

Okay.

So you're heating cooling.

You can come for dealer and taking care of the Nicholas family for 18, 19 years.

But as I was joke, we relate to that party because Seliga, the same family, continuously,

has owned his business in 1927.

That's right.

Dan Seliga for the, excuse me, fourth owner, operator of the family business, fourth generation.

He's doing a great job.

He's maintained the high standards and if anything, Seliga is bigger and better.

But what does that say, man, they're 100 years into this thing, the same family and the same building down in South

City on gravel.

I can tell you all about how great they are because again, we've leaned on them a lot and they're so honest,

they're prompt, they're professional, they're so knowledgeable, they explain things, they're patient.

They'll, they'll give you every option and carefully explain each one.

They won't pressure you into anything.

They'll answer all your questions.

They're just a model business and they're a great family business in St. Louis.

So please consider supporting them if you need someone to help you with heating and cooling.
