A true honor to co-host former Irish Prime Minister @EndaKennyTD on A Book With Legs w/ @Cole_Smead.

We dove further into the lasting effects of the potato famine & explored the trajectory of the Irish people to present day.

Thx for your time Taoiseach, always a pleasure! 🙏🏻🇮🇪

[Smead Capital Management @SmeadCap]

The latest episode of A Book with Legs is here!

In this special bonus episode, @Cole_Smead and @ConorForAZ sit down with former Taoiseach of Ireland @EndaKennyTD to dive deeper into Ireland’s rich history and the Great Famine. They also explore the spread of the Irish people and their modern identity. Kenny reflects on his experience as a politician, including run-ins with U.S. Presidents and what it means to be a leader.

Great book!

Had the opportunity to discuss the story with @maxfrumes. @ConorForAZ hosted the episode with me.

Interesting read through on the separation of the land business and the homebuilders too.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

We should def have term limits. House terms should be 4 years (not 2, end the perma-campaign cycle!) and limits should be 3 House terms + 2 Senate terms (12 years in each).

Trading individual stocks as an employee on Wall St is v difficult; why should Congress be any different??

[Mary Peltola @MaryPeltola]

We’ve got to enact term limits. We’ve got to stop the insider trading. We’ve got to stop the ability for politicians to line their own pockets.

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Real story:

Judge was about to throw out the case bc Trump controls both parties.

Before it’s dismissed, Trump tells both parties to reach a “settlement.”

Settlement shields Trump from any future audit and creates a secret slush fund that can dole out money to anyone with no transparency.

Mind-boggling corruption.

@SpeakerJohnson - you may not know it, but your job is to conduct oversight of the admin. You can’t run away from this one.

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

@1marcolopez Love this Marco, and we agree - as @Cole_Smead likes to say, “Arizona is the center of the universe!”

[barrett marson @barrettmarson]

Thank you @DrAmishShah for this masterclass in how to get off on the wrong foot right out of the gate in an interview. Def a teachable moment for anyone looking what not to do in an interview. #Az01

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

So @DrAmishShah accused me of lying on “Square Off” w/ @brahmresnik today!

He at least admitted he was never a D until 2016, AFTER he voted in the R primary (see voting history).

He told @arizonaagenda in ‘24 that he voted for Trump “to help Hillary,” but now he denies it?? 🤔

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

And if you want to watch the whole segment (which is comically unhinged!), you can see it here, or tune in Sunday on @arizona12news:

Amish is a walking, talking version of the “Get in there and make it about YOU!” meme… 🤣

Well @ElectMRG did the right thing - time for @TrebleForAZ & @RickMcCartneyAZ to follow suit.

Either @marleneforAZ or @DrAmishShah WILL be the nominee. Staying in risks us losing the general AGAIN w/ the wrong candidate.

Save your political (and actual) capital & get out now!

@Garrett_Archer Garrett, how have the numbers changed since Nov 2024? That’s prob the more insightful metric to look at - either way however, this race will be decided by Independents (as has been the case for several cycles now). It’s going to take a moderate to win in AZ-01!

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

@Cole_Smead For companies like Coke & Apple, they become almost ubiquitous & opptys for growth definitionally decrease over time…AI hyperscalers are trying to AVOID this by creating new frontiers/markets for themselves, but ironically may end up ruining their “Inevitables”-like businesses…

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

Lol, this from a guy who was not a registered Dem in NYC (of all places!) for MANY yrs prior to moving to AZ & REGISTERED AS AN R & VOTED FOR TRUMP right after moving to AZ in 2016.

AZ-01 voters “soundly rejected” Amish last time around. Let’s not lose again. Vote @marleneforAZ!

[Amish Shah, MD @DrAmishShah]

Elites in Washington should not be meddling in this race. This election will be decided by Arizona voters, not by establishment insiders in back rooms.
Here is my full statement.

[Patrick Svitek @PatrickSvitek]

Legend. Or as the kids today would say, “aura farming.”

Losing to the Bulls in The Finals a few weeks later still stings Suns fans as if it were yesterday.

What a run ☄️

[NBA Cobwebs @NBACobwebs]

May 2, 1993: With Phoenix facing elimination (trailing the Lakers 0-2 in a best-of-five series), coach Paul Westphal guarantees the Suns will win the next three games and become the first NBA team to win an opening-round playoff series after losing its first two games at home.

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

How does @ESPN not have this as the lead story?!?! Instead of talking about one of the greatest sporting achievements OF ALL-TIME, they are debating if the Steelers 5th round pick was good or not… 🙄

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

This should be a lead story on every major news site!!

The sub-2-hr marathon (like the 4 min mile in its day) was once “impossible.”

It’s ~4:33 mile pace for an ENTIRE marathon.

ONE 4:33 mile makes you a very competitive high school runner.

Now try doing 26 in a row… 🤯

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

Sabastian Sawe has broken the men's marathon world record in London.

The Kenyan is the first person ever to run a marathon in under two hours in race conditions — his time was 1:59:30.

Yomif Kejelcha of Ethiopia, making his marathon debut, achieved the feat 11 seconds later — 1:59:41.

Fittingly, like London buses, you wait an eternity for one, then two come along at once 🚌

Remarkable.

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

Well I guess we’ve firmly established that Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini are down with OPP…

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Trump is reportedly negotiating a deal which would stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon in exchange for $20 Billion in Iranian assets being unfrozen.

Note that The Iranian Nuclear agreement (JCPOA) that Obama signed, that Trump tore up, did the same thing. It halted their Uranium enrichment while turning over frozen assets.

In other words Trump Tore up the agreement, spent $55 Billion on a war, got hundreds of Americans injured, killed 150+ kids and exploded oil prices to try and negotiate the same basic deal that Obama did.

[Conor O’Callaghan @ConorForAZ]

@Cole_Smead Total fail by me on trying to cover up the extra “n” lol 🤣
