Good sports weekends.

Yeah, it's where the Big Ten is coast to coast.

Big Ten to me should be like Midwest, boring, running football.

No, I agree with you on the rivalries.

It makes the travel make no sense, and it's all weird.

And I want players to get paid, but the transfer portal is making it so people just leave after a year.

Again, it's their right, but it doesn't seem like the best way to run a railroad.

You want these guys to get a little more coached up.

But look, we got a great show.

We got a lot of major stories to cover today.

We are going to start with the latest on this now weeks-long protest, series of protests in Iran.

There are reports this week of a massacre of protesters by security forces.

And we'll also talk about what we know about Trump's deliberations about a possible U.S.

military response.

We're also going to talk about how the son of the former leader of Iran, who was deposed in 1979,

has reinserted himself into this conversation.

And whether he is welcome or not.

The Shah has entered the chat.

From, where is he, like Northern Virginia or the suburbs of DC somewhere?

Yeah, good question.
