This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome to The Truth with Lisa Booth, where we get to the heart of the issues that matter to you.

I'm excited about today's guests because we had the legendary coach, Bruce Pearl, a longtime Auburn basketball coach, but he also coached at the University of Tennessee while I was going to school there.

One of the best men's basketball coaches, probably in history.

But he's a great all-time legend.

He's now transitioning over to broadcasting.

He's going to be working for T&T sports as well as CBS sports.

So we'll talk about that transition.

Of course, I'm going to talk to him about his time coaching.

Is he going to miss it? Does he have a favorite school? I'll get all of that and more.

We're also going to discuss why he has chosen to be outspoken on some political issues as well,

particularly the rise of anti-Semitism that we've seen on college campuses. He has been

outspoken in support of President Trump. He has said President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

So we'll talk to him about that. How does he think President Trump is doing? We'll talk about

the latest ceasefire in the Middle East as well. And then lastly, I'm going to ask him about

how colleges and universities have changed throughout his time in coaching.

The Manhattan Institute's City Journal is out with new college rankings, taking an account some different considerations than we see from the usual college rankings, taking an account things like DEI or free speech. So we'll talk to him

about that as well. A lot to discuss with the legendary coach Bruce Pearl. Stay tuned.

Well, Bruce Pearl, you're the legendary coach, Bruce Pearl.

You were actually coaching men's basketball while I was attending the University of Tennessee,

but you are an absolute legend.

So it is great to have you on the show, sir.
