Independence. It's Friday, July 2nd, July 4th weekend. If you're in the northeast, the weather stinks. But we're free.

Celebrating our nation's independence. I always think of Bill Pullman in the movie Independence Day. I just saw Bill Pullman in another movie recently where he played a role and I was taking a back, having not seen him on the screen in a while. But independence is the word of the day. And it's double on time.

Do you know what that is, Coco? I know you do because you're the one who said a pre show, a double on Tondra independence, not just because we're free. Independence because there are teams who claim they are independent from majorly baseball.

They do what they want. There's other teams who say we can't do what we want because of majorly baseball. We're not independent. We can't be independent. I was really good at doing this when I was an executive.

There were times when I would say to you as fans, hey, my hands are tied. MLB has told us we can't play here. We can't do this. We can't do that. MLB has told us that we have to sign a player. We don't have to sign a player. We have to raise our payroll. We have to lower payroll. We're being fine. We're being taxed. We're being drug tested.

When it suits me, it's MLB's fault. When it suits me, it's MLB's idea. MLB is there to be used by teams because they are a nameless, faceless organization. Forget the fact that Rob Manford is the commissioner of majorly baseball from a team standpoint and from a team's fans standpoint.

The commissioner's office is this ogre, this overpowering entity. Where is your local team? You've got a manager who's the face of the team. You've got a general manager, a president, an owner. There's people who you want to answer to you answer to the problems of the team.

Los Angeles Dodgers have a problem. Majorly baseball has a problem. This is the third straight day I'm talking about this problem. That's how big it is. We're still talking about Trevor Bauer and the fact that he's due to start on Independence Day on Sunday.

And I was going to leave well enough alone. But I couldn't because two people spoke who hadn't spoken on the issue yet. And when that happens, I'm going to tell you what they're saying and why they're saying it.

I want to start with our good friend Rachel Luba, who is Trevor Bauer's agent. His agent. Also the agent for YSL Pueg. She's been quiet. We talked about the fact that he hired a lawyer to deal with these allegations.

And that Rachel has been quiet, but she couldn't stay quiet anymore. And she had a flex who she is. She said as an agent and attorney. Thank you, Rachel. I'm so thankful that you told me you were also an attorney. However, when you say you're an attorney and then say what you're about to say, it makes you look like you didn't forget past the bar that you didn't even go to law school.

I'm not trying to sell your reputation, Rachel. I'm merely saying, look at what you're saying. Are you helping your client every time you talk as a lawyer, you have to say, am I helping my client? Because if you cannot say that for certain, then shut up.

As an agent or an attorney and I said, or and is what she said, I think it is important to reiterate that I will always defend my clients when I believe the accusations made her false. Stop.

As an attorney, you defend your client because the law of our land states that every single person deserves a defense. Do you know a question you don't ask your client when you're representing a client and a criminal complaint, you don't say, excuse me, I got a question.

Did you do this? It should never even come up. So she's reiterating to you that she will defend clients when I believe the accusations made her false, which means when the accusations that are made are true, does she step away from the case? Does she drop the player? Does she drop the case and say, good luck. You don't get a defense. You don't wait. I believe you, you get a defense. Oh, I think that's true. I can't defend you.

It's the single stupidest thing I've heard a lawyer say in a very long time and that list is longer than my arm. I should have said longer than coca's arm. I should have said longer than Robert Wadlow's arm.

Because being longer than my arm, that's really not so much. And then Rachel wanted to flex that she's got some inside info. She said, I'm privy to much more information than what has been reported publicly at this time. And I'm confident that the truth will come to light. Well, if you're a lawyer, and you know there's a criminal complaint and a possible charge against your client. Of course, the truth is going to come to light because that's what it trials for.

The only time the truth doesn't come to light is when you settle with the state or settle with someone civilly pay them money, take some sort of lower misdemeanor instead of a felony, have it sealed and then no one knows what the truth is.

But if you go all the way to trial, then yes, of course, the truth will come to light. But it's good that you're privy because you're now a witness.

What are you privy to Rachel you're privy to the 67 page explanation of what power did. Are you privy to the text messages messages where the woman said choke me out.

Raw. Are you privy to the fact that you can't consent to something that is not able to be consented to. Are you privy to the fact that wanting rough sex doesn't mean you want to get anally plugged. Are you privy to those facts Rachel I'm just curious what your position is.

But thank you for talking and adding to the conversation because you've really taught us all a lot.
