Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the state put a new law in place on
October first. I didn't know about this. You hear October first,
January first. Sometimes it's like joly, I think all these
new laws are going into effect, and this law bans
any license plate covers, any license plate tents, any license
(00:21):
plate frames that block even parts of the tag. Plates
now have to be completely playing. No phrases, no team logos,
no dealership frames, nothing around the edges. And police say
it's about making sure toll cameras and officers can clearly
identify every tag. Now I have a Wesley japp Alexis frame.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
You're breaking the law apparently there with a screwdriver, and
take it off.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Any obstruction counts as a second degree misdemeanor, which can
mean a five hundred dollars fine, and even jail time.
Officers advise drivers to remove covers immediately, even the clear
ones to avoid the ticket. Now. Drivers told news Channel eight,
who had this story, that they had no idea the
law change.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm in the same boat.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I had no clue, and they were surprised that, you know,
those frames that they've used forever are now illegal. Some
said the frames helped like personalize or identify their car,
especially in busy lots.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
If you get the same type of cars, like you.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Know, yeah, my ex husband has one and he has
a gray pickup truck. It would be how I identified
the truck.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, and I have it just because you know, I
love the people over at Western Champel Lexis.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They do a fantastic job and so I want to
promote them.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Police countered the drivers can decorate the rest of the vehicle,
just not the plate. Now, Trooper's a enforcement going to
start slow with the first few months focused on educating drivers,
not writing tickets. But I'm you know, I took a
look at at my license plate and the frame and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It's not blocking.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's not blocking the number, it's not blocking anything on there. Yeah,
I don't understand. It sounds like a money grab to me.
I can understand not wanting Some people have almost like
a like a shield their plate, right, you can see
how that can block the.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Toll It's dirty and stuff too. It might be hard
to read or.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I wonder if the if the camera is when they
take your license plate, if sometimes the glare or something
from that makes it so you can't read the plate.
I don't know though, it doesn't really make like have
they explained exactly why that particular thing, just the frame
that's not blocking anything is a problem.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I was just thinking about this, so it says here,
you know, this is about toll cameras and so officers
can clearly identify every tech. I wonder how much of
this has to do with the red light cameras and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, yeah, where it might be blocking the ability.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
To be actually some kind of impact.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, yeah, because mine and I don't remove the frame
to put the new registration tag on.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I just try to kind of stick.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, so it's definitely not blocking it because I'm not
like sticking it under there. But they're saying like the
whole you know, those kinds of print they got to go,
which is going to be news, I think to a
lot of Floridians. We're gonna have more on this coming
up a little later in the show. Marjorie Taylor Green
had a lot to say on sixteen Minutes last night,
including what congressional Republicans say about Trump behind his back.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Behind the scenes. Do they talk differently, yes, huh, it
would shock people. Well, let's shock people. Okay, I watched.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Many of my colleagues go from making fun of him,
making fun of how he talks, making fun of me
constantly for supporting him, to when he won the primary
in twenty twenty four, they all started skis balling whige Leslie,
kissing his ass and decided to put on a maga
hat for the first time.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I mean that really shouldn't come as that much of
a surprise. I mean, we've talked about this time and
time again, and it's not just congressional Republicans who have
done some of that. It's people you watch on TV.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Oh yeah, absolutely, you.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Know who are super maga on TV, and then you
hear these stories from personally reliable sources about what they
say when the camera's off and the MIC's.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Turned off behind his back.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
She also said that a lot of them fear a
truth social post directed at them, like they don't want
to get the same treatment that she did.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And some of those Indiana Republicans who are at the
center of the redistricting battle in that state, you know,
when Trump was kind of putting a lot of pressure
on them to move forward with that, they've said, like
you wouldn't believe how much incoming we got, how many
threats things like that. It's the environment that we're in,
the political environment that we're in now. And Green said
(04:41):
that the Trump's attacks on her led to death threats
from his supporters, and she said that his private response
to her warnings about the threats, she hit him up
and said, hey, can you ease up on you know,
calling me a trader and things like that, because I'm
getting a lot of death threats. My family is. She's
said that his response was extremely unkind. She didn't describe
(05:03):
exactly what it was. She said Vice President Jady Vance
told her, like, you know, we'll look into all of that,
but she didn't seem very happy. Without Trump responding yeah,
I'm guessing he probably responded, we'll stop saying these things
and right stop. Yeah. In another clip, she said Trump
warned her the Epstein files release was quote going to
(05:23):
hurt people, but she didn't specify or he didn't specify
who or how.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So that was something else that was notable.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So I think we all know.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That, right right again, something that I think we know
And going back to something we were talking about in
a six o'clock hour when we mentioned these reports that
Christy Nome could be on the chopping block as head
of the Department of Homeland Security, maybe the first cabinet
member to go. And we asked everybody, We asked all
of you which cabinet member you would like to see replaced,
(05:54):
And based on the responses that we got, Pam Bondi
topped the list. I think a lot of it has
to do with the Epstein her handling of that.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I thought of that too, of course, now because she
promised that we were going to get it all in
transparency and now we're not. But how much is Trump
behind that?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That's the thing when I gave my list of who
I think is on the hot seat, Christy nom Cash Bettel,
and Pete Heggs. At the reason I didn't include Pambody.
She's doing what he wants, so not just on that,
not just on Epstein file stuff, on a lot of
other stuff too.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
She's doing what he wants. I don't think she's in
trouble right exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Let me start by saying, you got to take all
these reports with a pretty big grain of salt, but
sometimes they do end up being accurate. It just might
not be, you know, in the immediate aftermath of the
report may take a little while longer for it to
all play out, but according to a few new reports,
President Trump is considering removing Homeland Security Secretary Christinome. Sources
(06:48):
say senior White House officials are frustrated with Nolam's leadership,
particularly the influence of her advisor, Corey Lewandowski, who she's
also been romantically linked to. According to the reports, personally
likes Gnome, but insiders describe the department's current state as chaotic.
Virginia Governor Glenn Younkin, whose term limited and leaving office
(07:09):
in mid January, he's being floated as a possible replacement.
A CNN at previously reported Youngkin prefers an economic role
within the administration, but still be enthusiastic about any cabinet posts.
And you know, if we're looking at this like we
look at say, football coaches on the hot seat, you know,
Mike McDaniel coach at the Dolphins, even if the Bucks
(07:32):
don't make the playoffs, Todd Bowles, I would say, Christy Nome,
Pete Haig Seth, Cash Battel are the three that feel
like they're on the hot seat.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, But I would say Pete Haigseth probably
above anybody else, especially lately.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I mean Cash Bettel he got the big win with
the DC pipe bomb suspect, the arrest there, so that
might help him right now. But Pete Haggseth, he's getting
mocked on Saturday Night Live. This was a little bit
of what they did the other nine.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
What do you say to Senator Mark Kelly who said
you act like a twelve year old playing army?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
First of all, Kelly, that's a girl's name dress. No,
it's Mark. Well, I answer your question. I was just
playing army.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Were there to be eighty dead fishermen of Narco terrorist
right now?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Next question? That's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So the top performing cabinet member is to me Marco
Rubio at Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
He's done a fantastic job, I think.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And Sean Duffy Transportation Secretary, he's had a lot to
the away, he's.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Had a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
What I want to know if you could replace one
cabinet member right now, who would it be? With an
upgrade text talk? And then whichever one you think you
would like to see replaced, all in one message to
eight two nine four five, So text talk and then
who you would want to replace as a cabinet member
(09:00):
in Trump's administration, all in one message to eight two, nine,
four or five. We're also putting a pull up on Facebook.
You could follow us there at Ryan Gorman Show. To
me again, Cash Pttel had the big win. I don't
think it would be him, although the more he's in
front of the camera, I don't think he helps himself.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Because it looks like a deer in heavy.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, and Trump pays attention to that kind of stuff.
Christy nom I don't know the enforcement operations for ICE.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Safe good pr stuff, you know, Ice Barbie like, I
feel like that's a good branding for her.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
The border is more secure than it has been a
long long time. Pete Haikseth feels like the one that
is just on the shakiest of ground. And I never
thought he made sense as the head of the well.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then it was the Department of Defense, now is the
Department of War.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I always thought he would have been better served as
like the press secretary for that department, you know, because
he can get in front of the camera, can talk,
but like.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Really running it, running the show.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, and I see that full snl skit was hilarious, like, yeah,
it was Colin Joe's. Yeah, it was really funny. So
I shared it on X at Ryan Gorman Show, if
you want to see it. I was cracking up the
whole time.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So weigh in on on you know, if you could
replace one cabinet.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Member, who would it be right now?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Because there's going to be turnover coming up and see
there always generally is. And we'll circle back to some
of your responses in just a bit.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
College football is a freaking mess.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So the Hurricanes, they grabbed a college football playoff spot
over Notre Dame. The Hurricanes did beat the Irish in
the first week of the season. I don't think that
is the big issue here. To me, the issue starts
with the ACC and the screwed up way they went
about deciding who was going to play in their championship game,
(10:48):
because should have been the Hurricanes in that game, and
if they had won that game, then you would have
an extra slot right now where you could put Notre Dame,
who deserves to be in the college football playoff. I
think the other issue here is you've got two group
of five teams in the mix in this playoff in
Tulane and James Madison, and that's insane. I mean, they
(11:11):
are teams that have zero chance of winning the College
football Championship. You get Miami in there, they've got a shot,
maybe not favorites, they got a shot Notre Dame, same thing.
Even Alabama they've got a shot to Lane and James
Madison have no shot to win a championship. Yet they're
(11:32):
in there because they felt they needed to have two
group of five teams in the Why And then you've
got a three loss Alabama team that just got rocked
by Georgia in the SEC Championship. They get in over
Notre Dame, and the bowl games don't seem to matter
at all anymore. The conference championship games don't really seem
(11:56):
to matter anymore. And for a long stretch of this season, honestly,
that win that Miami got over Notre Dame in the
first game of the season, that really didn't seem to
matter because Notre Name was ranked ahead of mine.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I mean, they've got to go back to the drawing
board and figure this all out and start from scratch,
because this thing is just a giant mess and I
feel like it taints a bit the upcoming college football
playoffs and the championship game, which of course is going
to be January nineteenth at hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
So that's kind of my take on what was I
(12:32):
thought just a colossal failure on the part of the
college football playoff committee over the weekend, bringing our national
correspondent Rory O'Neill, who supports brons You by Mark Spain
real estate. So Rory, want to start with the Supreme Court.
They're hearing a really big case today on executive power.
If anyone wants a breakdown of this case, We talked
(12:52):
to Sarah Sker from The Dispatch about it last week.
Find that podcast to search for Ryan Gorman's show on
your iHeart radio or wherever you listen to podcasts. We
also learned they're finally going to decide the birthright citizenship question.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Right and now they announced on Friday, late Friday that
they will have a hearing and oral arguments on that
in early January. Remember it was January this year when
on an inauguration day, President Trump signed an executive order
essentially ending birthright citizenship. This idea that if you're born
here you're automatically a US citizen. It's part of the
(13:28):
fourteenth Amendment, and those were passed coming out of the
Civil War to address issues like slavery and citizenship. And
it's been the law of the land for over a century.
And the President trying to undo that with an executive
order that may not go over well with the Supreme Court,
which might say, hey, look, you want to change it,
god ahead, but you can't do it by the stroke
(13:49):
of a president's pat Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I think that's how that case is going to end
up being decided. I'd be really surprised if it went
any other way. But you know, we've also talked not
long ago about a story in South Florida where you
had somebody and they had the setup where people could
come and they kind of assisted them with given birth
(14:11):
on US soil. This way their did was a US citizen.
I mean, some of the ways that that is being
taken advantage of. I think there might be a way
for and again, this would have to happen through Congress,
not just through the President signing something where they could
rain that in a little bit while still you know,
(14:33):
upholding the Constitution.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, right, Well, if.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You go to places like Sunny Asles Beach, where you
see it some suspiciously high number of pregnant people Russian,
often with Russian accents. Yeah, that's that's sort of an
economy down there. But yeah, this is one of the
issues that in the twenty first century is people fly
in eight and a half months pregnant and then you know,
give birth while they're here intentionally. That's that's been one
(15:00):
of the issues here wells of course, the people who
have either gotten to the country illegally or overstate their visas,
specifically to have that quote unquote anchor.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Baby right right, That's another part of it that I
would think again, if they wanted to, Congress could address
and still maintain, you know, the constitutionality of birthright citizenship.
We're joined by our national correspondent, Rory O'Neil. Let's talk
about something else you're covering this morning. There seems to
be some hesitancy by the Pentagon to release the video
(15:33):
of that strike on an alleged drug boat back in September,
the follow up strikes. What's the latest on that?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
We heard from Secretary Hegseth over the weekend at this
Reagan Defense conference happening out in California, saying that they.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Were reviewing the video.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Now, look, we've gotten dozens of other videos all related
to these strikes, but he says, you know, we don't
want to reveal any means or methods. You know, most
of the other people who've seen the video say it's
really no different from the other videos that we've seen, except,
of course, it involves a clearer picture of the two
people who survived the initial strikes and and those strikes
(16:13):
that followed.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So, yeah, we'll see if the Pentagon goes forward with it.
As you set up.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
President Trump has said he's got no problem releasing it.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Let's see if it actually gets released.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, because what the Pentagon's trying to say is that
after that initial strike, the two survivors, they were trying.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To like they were still trying to smuggle the drugs.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, and get back on the boat somehow or whatever
and try to continue with the mission. Now, there's also
a question as to whether or not they were ever
headed here to the US. I mean, look, the drugs
could have still been bound to the US without them
coming directly here. But that's something else that we're not
sure about. But they keep releasing video after video after
(16:54):
videos gonna be really.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
They're they're like excited about to put them out there. Yeah,
it's like a pr thing. And now all of us
that in this one, oh, we don't want to show
you this one.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, it's going to be hard for them to maintain
that stance, I think moving forward, and I think members
of Congress are going to be really pushing pretty hard
on both sides of the aisle to get that released.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Well, well, no, on one side of the aisle really,
because you know what we got. The description we got
from the Republican senators who saw the video was that
it was a righteous killing, but I think it was
Senator Cotton's term used to describe this as you know,
they were trying to overturn their capsized vessel, get back
on it and continue their trip, you know, to bring
(17:32):
drugs to America, which, as you just laid out, wasn't
necessarily where they were going on what they were carrying.
So we apparently the admirals said that the people on
this boat had been tracked for a while, and we're
all known targets. That's also something else that's going to
be part of this investigation.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Now, I want to see the video.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm just curious to see it for myself, especially after
members of Congress came out of that classified hearing and
they had different stories.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, and also maybe they were just trying to survive,
you know what I mean, Like, I mean, how do
we know what their intentions were that they were going
to get back on the boat and continue to try
to smuggle the drugs. Maybe they were just you know,
in the water and trying to get out of the water.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Because we are being told that that's where.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
They were, right, got a bad question, No, it's a
legit question.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, I'd like to see the video for myself.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Our national correspondent Rory O'Neill with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Rory really appreciate it. Thanks so much, Hey Ryan, Thanks

Turned off behind his back.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
She also said that a lot of them fear a
truth social post directed at them, like they don't want
to get the same treatment that she did.
Speaker 3 (04:19):

threats things like that. It's the environment that we're in,
the political environment that we're in now. And Green said
(04:41):
that the Trump's attacks on her led to death threats
from his supporters, and she said that his private response
to her warnings about the threats, she hit him up
and said, hey, can you ease up on you know,
calling me a trader and things like that, because I'm
getting a lot of death threats. My family is. She's
said that his response was extremely unkind. She didn't describe
(05:03):
exactly what it was. She said Vice President Jady Vance
told her, like, you know, we'll look into all of that,
but she didn't seem very happy. Without Trump responding yeah,
I'm guessing he probably responded, we'll stop saying these things
and right stop. Yeah. In another clip, she said Trump
warned her the Epstein files release was quote going to
(05:23):
hurt people, but she didn't specify or he didn't specify
who or how.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
So that was something else that was notable.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So I think we all know.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That, right right again, something that I think we know
And going back to something we were talking about in
a six o'clock hour when we mentioned these reports that
Christy Nome could be on the chopping block as head
of the Department of Homeland Security, maybe the first cabinet
member to go. And we asked everybody, We asked all
of you which cabinet member you would like to see replaced,
(05:54):
And based on the responses that we got, Pam Bondi
topped the list. I think a lot of it has
to do with the Epstein her handling of that.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I thought of that too, of course, now because she
promised that we were going to get it all in
transparency and now we're not. But how much is Trump
behind that?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That's the thing when I gave my list of who
I think is on the hot seat, Christy nom Cash Bettel,
and Pete Heggs. At the reason I didn't include Pambody.
She's doing what he wants, so not just on that,
not just on Epstein file stuff, on a lot of
other stuff too.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
She's doing what he wants. I don't think she's in
trouble right exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Let me start by saying, you got to take all
these reports with a pretty big grain of salt, but
sometimes they do end up being accurate. It just might
not be, you know, in the immediate aftermath of the
report may take a little while longer for it to
all play out, but according to a few new reports,
President Trump is considering removing Homeland Security Secretary Christinome. Sources
(06:48):
say senior White House officials are frustrated with Nolam's leadership,
particularly the influence of her advisor, Corey Lewandowski, who she's
also been romantically linked to. According to the reports, personally
likes Gnome, but insiders describe the department's current state as chaotic.
Virginia Governor Glenn Younkin, whose term limited and leaving office
(07:09):
in mid January, he's being floated as a possible replacement.
A CNN at previously reported Youngkin prefers an economic role
within the administration, but still be enthusiastic about any cabinet posts.
And you know, if we're looking at this like we
look at say, football coaches on the hot seat, you know,
Mike McDaniel coach at the Dolphins, even if the Bucks
(07:32):
don't make the playoffs, Todd Bowles, I would say, Christy Nome,
Pete Haig Seth, Cash Battel are the three that feel
like they're on the hot seat.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, definitely, Yeah, But I would say Pete Haigseth probably
above anybody else, especially lately.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I mean Cash Bettel he got the big win with
the DC pipe bomb suspect, the arrest there, so that
might help him right now. But Pete Haggseth, he's getting
mocked on Saturday Night Live. This was a little bit
of what they did the other nine.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
What do you say to Senator Mark Kelly who said
you act like a twelve year old playing army?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
First of all, Kelly, that's a girl's name dress. No,
it's Mark. Well, I answer your question. I was just
playing army.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Were there to be eighty dead fishermen of Narco terrorist
right now?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Next question? That's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So the top performing cabinet member is to me Marco
Rubio at Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
He's done a fantastic job, I think.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And Sean Duffy Transportation Secretary, he's had a lot to
the away, he's.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Had a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
What I want to know if you could replace one
cabinet member right now, who would it be? With an
upgrade text talk? And then whichever one you think you
would like to see replaced, all in one message to
eight two nine four five, So text talk and then
who you would want to replace as a cabinet member
(09:00):
in Trump's administration, all in one message to eight two, nine,
four or five. We're also putting a pull up on Facebook.
You could follow us there at Ryan Gorman Show. To
me again, Cash Pttel had the big win. I don't
think it would be him, although the more he's in
front of the camera, I don't think he helps himself.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Because it looks like a deer in heavy.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, and Trump pays attention to that kind of stuff.
Christy nom I don't know the enforcement operations for ICE.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Safe good pr stuff, you know, Ice Barbie like, I
feel like that's a good branding for her.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
The border is more secure than it has been a
long long time. Pete Haikseth feels like the one that
is just on the shakiest of ground. And I never
thought he made sense as the head of the well.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then it was the Department of Defense, now is the
Department of War.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I always thought he would have been better served as
like the press secretary for that department, you know, because
he can get in front of the camera, can talk,
but like.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Really running it, running the show.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, and I see that full snl skit was hilarious, like, yeah,
it was Colin Joe's. Yeah, it was really funny. So
I shared it on X at Ryan Gorman Show, if
you want to see it. I was cracking up the
whole time.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So weigh in on on you know, if you could
replace one cabinet.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Member, who would it be right now?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Because there's going to be turnover coming up and see
there always generally is. And we'll circle back to some
of your responses in just a bit.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
College football is a freaking mess.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
So the Hurricanes, they grabbed a college football playoff spot
over Notre Dame. The Hurricanes did beat the Irish in
the first week of the season. I don't think that
is the big issue here. To me, the issue starts
with the ACC and the screwed up way they went
about deciding who was going to play in their championship game,
(10:48):
because should have been the Hurricanes in that game, and
if they had won that game, then you would have
an extra slot right now where you could put Notre Dame,
who deserves to be in the college football playoff. I
think the other issue here is you've got two group
of five teams in the mix in this playoff in
Tulane and James Madison, and that's insane. I mean, they
(11:11):
are teams that have zero chance of winning the College
football Championship. You get Miami in there, they've got a shot,
maybe not favorites, they got a shot Notre Dame, same thing.
Even Alabama they've got a shot to Lane and James
Madison have no shot to win a championship. Yet they're
(11:32):
in there because they felt they needed to have two
group of five teams in the Why And then you've
got a three loss Alabama team that just got rocked
by Georgia in the SEC Championship. They get in over
Notre Dame, and the bowl games don't seem to matter
at all anymore. The conference championship games don't really seem
(11:56):
to matter anymore. And for a long stretch of this season, honestly,
that win that Miami got over Notre Dame in the
first game of the season, that really didn't seem to
matter because Notre Name was ranked ahead of mine.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
The whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I mean, they've got to go back to the drawing
board and figure this all out and start from scratch,
because this thing is just a giant mess and I
feel like it taints a bit the upcoming college football
playoffs and the championship game, which of course is going
to be January nineteenth at hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
So that's kind of my take on what was I
(12:32):
thought just a colossal failure on the part of the
college football playoff committee over the weekend, bringing our national
correspondent Rory O'Neill, who supports brons You by Mark Spain
real estate. So Rory, want to start with the Supreme Court.
They're hearing a really big case today on executive power.
If anyone wants a breakdown of this case, We talked
(12:52):
to Sarah Sker from The Dispatch about it last week.
Find that podcast to search for Ryan Gorman's show on
your iHeart radio or wherever you listen to podcasts. We
also learned they're finally going to decide the birthright citizenship question.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Right and now they announced on Friday, late Friday that
they will have a hearing and oral arguments on that
in early January. Remember it was January this year when
on an inauguration day, President Trump signed an executive order
essentially ending birthright citizenship. This idea that if you're born
here you're automatically a US citizen. It's part of the
(13:28):
fourteenth Amendment, and those were passed coming out of the
Civil War to address issues like slavery and citizenship. And
it's been the law of the land for over a century.
And the President trying to undo that with an executive
order that may not go over well with the Supreme Court,
which might say, hey, look, you want to change it,
god ahead, but you can't do it by the stroke
(13:49):
of a president's pat Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I think that's how that case is going to end
up being decided. I'd be really surprised if it went
any other way. But you know, we've also talked not
long ago about a story in South Florida where you
had somebody and they had the setup where people could
come and they kind of assisted them with given birth
(14:11):
on US soil. This way their did was a US citizen.
I mean, some of the ways that that is being
taken advantage of. I think there might be a way
for and again, this would have to happen through Congress,
not just through the President signing something where they could
rain that in a little bit while still you know,
(14:33):
upholding the Constitution.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Well, right, Well, if.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You go to places like Sunny Asles Beach, where you
see it some suspiciously high number of pregnant people Russian,
often with Russian accents. Yeah, that's that's sort of an
economy down there. But yeah, this is one of the
issues that in the twenty first century is people fly
in eight and a half months pregnant and then you know,
give birth while they're here intentionally. That's that's been one
(15:00):
of the issues here wells of course, the people who
have either gotten to the country illegally or overstate their visas,
specifically to have that quote unquote anchor.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Baby right right, That's another part of it that I
would think again, if they wanted to, Congress could address
and still maintain, you know, the constitutionality of birthright citizenship.
We're joined by our national correspondent, Rory O'Neil. Let's talk
about something else you're covering this morning. There seems to
be some hesitancy by the Pentagon to release the video
(15:33):
of that strike on an alleged drug boat back in September,
the follow up strikes. What's the latest on that?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
We heard from Secretary Hegseth over the weekend at this
Reagan Defense conference happening out in California, saying that they.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Were reviewing the video.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Now, look, we've gotten dozens of other videos all related
to these strikes, but he says, you know, we don't
want to reveal any means or methods. You know, most
of the other people who've seen the video say it's
really no different from the other videos that we've seen, except,
of course, it involves a clearer picture of the two
people who survived the initial strikes and and those strikes
(16:13):
that followed.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So, yeah, we'll see if the Pentagon goes forward with it.
As you set up.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
President Trump has said he's got no problem releasing it.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Let's see if it actually gets released.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, because what the Pentagon's trying to say is that
after that initial strike, the two survivors, they were trying.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To like they were still trying to smuggle the drugs.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, and get back on the boat somehow or whatever
and try to continue with the mission. Now, there's also
a question as to whether or not they were ever
headed here to the US. I mean, look, the drugs
could have still been bound to the US without them
coming directly here. But that's something else that we're not
sure about. But they keep releasing video after video after
(16:54):
videos gonna be really.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
They're they're like excited about to put them out there. Yeah,
it's like a pr thing. And now all of us
that in this one, oh, we don't want to show
you this one.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, it's going to be hard for them to maintain
that stance, I think moving forward, and I think members
of Congress are going to be really pushing pretty hard
on both sides of the aisle to get that released.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Well, well, no, on one side of the aisle really,
because you know what we got. The description we got
from the Republican senators who saw the video was that
it was a righteous killing, but I think it was
Senator Cotton's term used to describe this as you know,
they were trying to overturn their capsized vessel, get back
on it and continue their trip, you know, to bring
(17:32):
drugs to America, which, as you just laid out, wasn't
necessarily where they were going on what they were carrying.
So we apparently the admirals said that the people on
this boat had been tracked for a while, and we're
all known targets. That's also something else that's going to
be part of this investigation.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Now, I want to see the video.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm just curious to see it for myself, especially after
members of Congress came out of that classified hearing and
they had different stories.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, and also maybe they were just trying to survive,
you know what I mean, Like, I mean, how do
we know what their intentions were that they were going
to get back on the boat and continue to try
to smuggle the drugs. Maybe they were just you know,
in the water and trying to get out of the water.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Because we are being told that that's where.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
They were, right, got a bad question, No, it's a
legit question.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, I'd like to see the video for myself.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Our national correspondent Rory O'Neill with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Rory really appreciate it. Thanks so much, Hey Ryan, Thanks
