Ed Whalen died in 2001, but Yukon think that it is time that the legendary Canadian broadcaster who called Stampede Wrestling and the Calgary Flames who coined phrases like "It's going to be a ring-a-ding-dong dandy!" and the trademark sign-off, "In the meantime and in-between time." Yukon says the "rusty phonograph sound of Ed Whalen" is a throwback to a great era and it's time to get Ed Whalen into the WWE Hall of Fame as a legacy inductee. #EverythingIsWrestling is brought to you by Crystal Glass - They specialize in repair of windshields, auto, residential and commercial glass!

Trump restrained himself from attacking Dr. Ford until Friday, but Republican senators and GOP operatives were out in full force all week. Senate Judiciary Committee member Orrin Hatch called Dr. Ford, “mixed up,” while conservative legal commentator Ed Whalen tried to pin the blame for the assault on Kavanaugh's classmate. Meanwhile, Republicans sought to temper comparisons to the Anita Hill hearings with midterms approaching, amid concerns about the party's declining standing with suburban women voters.

We're all over the globe for this show: Mexico, North Korea, the Middle East, the well of the Senate, and more. That's in part due to the news cycle but mostly due to our great guests, the WSJ's Bret Stephens, and the EPCC's and National Review's Ed Whalen. We talk military action, diplomacy, nukes (both parliamentary and real), filibusters, and more. Also, what was the deal with that Pepsi ad? Source
