On the pilot episode of Restating The Obvious we talk about the NBA playoff picture heading into the conference semi-finals, the fallout from the release of the Woodward tapes, the first weekend of the NFL season, what the normalization of relations between Israel and Bahrain means for the region, and the wild fires raging on the west coast.

We also touch on where I was wrong and where I was right, as well as, next week's news story and who won the week!

It's a jam packed inaugural episode of Restating The Obvious!
