- 1:35Speaker 8: to a couple of the places mentioned September eleventh, two
- 1:39Speaker 8: thousand and twenty six, twenty fifth anniversary of the terror
- 1:43Speaker 8: attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and on
- 1:48Speaker 8: flight ninety three, and it's always been a blessing and
- 1:52Speaker 8: a heartfelt poignant place for me. We were in Shanksville,
- 1:56Speaker 8: Pennsylvania on the fifth anniverse of the terrorist attacks, and
- 2:01Speaker 8: we will be back there to bring that to you
- 2:05Speaker 8: coming up in September, so stay tuned for some very
- 2:08Speaker 8: neat stuff. We will be alive. We've been working with
- 2:11Speaker 8: the National Park Service about set up and be there
- 2:15Speaker 8: in that. I cannot wait. When we were there last,
- 2:18Speaker 8: it was still just an ad hoc fence full of
- 2:21Speaker 8: greetings and tributes and flowers and wreaths. I'm really keen,
- 2:26Speaker 8: as is my wife to see the memorial that was
- 2:30Speaker 8: finally built there on the site, because that was a
- 2:32Speaker 8: big part of the plan and interestingly enough, controversial in
- 2:37Speaker 8: and of its own self. There are some of the
- 2:40Speaker 8: places we've been already this morning. US Postal Service has
- 2:43Speaker 8: got a deal with DHL to deliver DHL packages for
- 2:49Speaker 8: them ten billion dollars in income. Gavin Newsom says he
- 2:53Speaker 8: will weaponize the California government to go after anyone who
- 2:57Speaker 8: gets money in the fund, to to make whole people
- 3:01Speaker 8: who were victims ironically of weaponization of government. But let
- 3:06Speaker 8: us go into other things. We've even discussed music. Bruce Springstein,
- 3:12Speaker 8: the Foo Fighters and Dave Matthews, along with Joan Bias
- 3:16Speaker 8: still around unless it's AI, will headline a star studed
- 3:21Speaker 8: protest festival for the held at Nationals Park shortly before
- 3:28Speaker 8: the midterm elections. Bruce Springstein said the gestapo tactics of
- 3:32Speaker 8: this president will not stand here. I'm sure you're lining
- 3:37Speaker 8: up now to get your tickets. US and Iranian negotiators
- 3:41Speaker 8: have reached a tentative agreement today to extend the ceasefire
- 3:46Speaker 8: by sixty days to start a new round of talks
- 3:49Speaker 8: on the nuclear ambitions of the country and the open
- 3:54Speaker 8: strait of horror moves. Jd Vance was queried about it
- 3:58Speaker 8: Thursday evening. He confirmed the deal but said it's hard
- 4:01Speaker 8: to say exactly when or if the president is going
- 4:04Speaker 8: to sign it. We're going back and forth on a
- 4:07Speaker 8: couple of language points. Rutchian pardon me, Russian president, pardon me.
- 4:17Speaker 8: Vladimir Putin appears to be ready to push towards an
- 4:22Speaker 8: end of the over four year conflict that was supposed
- 4:25Speaker 8: to only take two months to weeks. Pardon me. In
- 4:29Speaker 8: Ukraine planning in Moscow to begin quote consistent and systemic
- 4:36Speaker 8: missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. Democratic Governor
- 4:41Speaker 8: Gretchen Whitmer told an audience at Mackinac policy conference that
- 4:45Speaker 8: she's walking back her statements that she's not going to
- 4:48Speaker 8: run for president in twenty twenty eight. She said, I
- 4:52Speaker 8: never thought I'd run for governor either, so I guess
- 4:55Speaker 8: I should know better than to say never say never
- 4:59Speaker 8: meanw while upholl done by Atlas Intel shows that Congressoman
- 5:04Speaker 8: Alexandre Ocassio Cortes is the leading candidate in twenty twenty
- 5:11Speaker 8: eight for the Democratic primary, leading in order descending Pete Boudages,
- 5:16Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom, and then distant fourth former Vice President Kamala Harris.
- 5:22Speaker 8: A US district judge has rejected a request by civil
- 5:27Speaker 8: rights groups to stop President Trump's executive order creating a
- 5:31Speaker 8: federal voter list and limiting mail in voting. He said,
- 5:34Speaker 8: it's because the executive order hasn't gone into effect yet,
- 5:38Speaker 8: so there's nothing to stop at this point. And those
- 5:41Speaker 8: are some of our first things this morning here on
- 5:44Speaker 8: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas on our way

- 5:57Speaker 8: and fifty years of life, liberty and the Pursuit of

- 7:07Speaker 12: to look into.
- 7:08Speaker 13: And that's meta Share.
- 7:10Speaker 12: Maybe you've heard joining meta share can save you or
- 7:12Speaker 12: your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and
- 7:15Speaker 12: that's huge, but it's also true.
- 7:16Speaker 13: People are just happier with it.

- 7:21Speaker 12: their values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Meta Share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 12: It's been around for thirty years now and members have

- 7:37Speaker 12: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:40Speaker 12: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part

- 10:08Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

- 10:27Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 13:12Speaker 3: The First Amendment. First thing today.
- 13:26Speaker 8: To me, thank you for letting yes me of service
- 13:29Speaker 8: to you.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Yes and.
- 13:33Speaker 8: Just a quick note from Charles who grew up in
- 13:37Speaker 8: Michigan and wanted me to know that it's mcinaw, and
- 13:41Speaker 8: I believe we knew that. I think we were tweaking
- 13:45Speaker 8: Governor Whitmer a little bit. But the Mackinaw Policy Forum
- 13:49Speaker 8: is where she had I didn't know about trolls, though, Charles,
- 13:52Speaker 8: thank you for telling me about the trolls that live
- 13:54Speaker 8: under the Mackinaw bridge there in the Upper Peninsula. Four
- 13:59Speaker 8: to three four eight eight two four to two one seven,
- 14:03Speaker 8: Gretchen Whitmer. And there are people who are going to
- 14:10Speaker 8: run for president and there are people who aren't. Jd
- 14:14Speaker 8: Vance is certainly going to be one of them, depending
- 14:23Speaker 8: on how the international affairs go. I think Marco Rubio
- 14:27Speaker 8: might be one of those as well. And then of
- 14:29Speaker 8: course you'll have that oh my gosh, who's more maga?
- 14:33Speaker 8: But this Democratic Party field day. I'm sure Gavin Newsom,
- 14:42Speaker 8: somewhere in the crevices of the Hotel California where his
- 14:46Speaker 8: brain lives, has convinced himself.
- 14:50Speaker 9: That the more.
- 14:53Speaker 8: People like AOC and such get into the presidential race,
- 14:59Speaker 8: the the more he seems like the normal one. This
- 15:03Speaker 8: is the guy who, has somebody pointed out earlier, has
- 15:06Speaker 8: weaponized the government to go after the people who have
- 15:10Speaker 8: been given a settlement out of the weaponization of government fund.
- 15:17Speaker 8: You can't make this stuff up. One hundred percent tax.
- 15:22Speaker 4: On it.
- 15:25Speaker 8: And that's that's his goal is, you know, keep getting
- 15:28Speaker 8: the Gretchen Whitmer's and the aocs and the Pete Budageses
- 15:33Speaker 8: into the presidential race and I'm going to look like
- 15:36Speaker 8: the normal ones.
- 15:37Speaker 4: All the time. He's an invasive species. We've never been
- 15:39Speaker 4: again up against something like this, and he's just not
- 15:43Speaker 4: he's just winding up. I mean, he doesn't believe in fair,
- 15:46Speaker 4: free elections. He believes in competitive authoritarianism.
- 15:51Speaker 8: He doesn't believe in free and fair elections. And be
- 15:57Speaker 8: careful with Governor knew Usum's rhetoric here, because when the
- 16:05Speaker 8: left talks about free and fair elections, they mean elections
- 16:09Speaker 8: that they run, that you have to go through them
- 16:13Speaker 8: to participate in, that you have to get their results for.
- 16:22Speaker 8: And if you challenge their results, you're Nazi. We went
- 16:28Speaker 8: through the history of January sixth just half of an
- 16:31Speaker 8: hour ago. That January sixth was set up specifically so
- 16:39Speaker 8: that the senators arriving from their home state with the
- 16:42Speaker 8: electoral results would have the opportunity to challenge those results. Now,
- 16:54Speaker 8: of course, that was also in a period of time
- 16:55Speaker 8: when senators represented the government of those states and collected
- 16:59Speaker 8: the taxes from them. But leave the vestiges behind, even
- 17:04Speaker 8: if we completely change the job description. But wanting to
- 17:12Speaker 8: make sure and this is where the dangerous rhetoric of
- 17:15Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom is. If I say, hey, I want to
- 17:20Speaker 8: make sure everyone voted in Arizona or Michigan, that the
- 17:26Speaker 8: trolls underneath the mackinaw Bridge, as Charles points out, have
- 17:31Speaker 8: you know their votes counted? And I want to audit
- 17:34Speaker 8: the outcome of the elections. I should be allowed to
- 17:38Speaker 8: and there's nothing evil about that, But they act like
- 17:42Speaker 8: simply asking can we make sure George's election results are kosher?
- 17:51Speaker 8: Is an affront to democratcy itself. Well, you know it's intentional,
- 17:58Speaker 8: a little bit like macin all was you to tweak
- 18:01Speaker 8: to go what? But I think it was Raymond who
- 18:08Speaker 8: coined the phrase democratsy because they run around flogging the
- 18:12Speaker 8: idea of protecting our democratsy. They'll say democracy, but in
- 18:22Speaker 8: what they mean is that a system by which democrats
- 18:25Speaker 8: get to win.
- 18:27Speaker 4: As they say about Trump all the time, he's an
- 18:28Speaker 4: invasive species. We've never been again up against something like this,
- 18:32Speaker 4: and he's just not He's just winding up. I mean,
- 18:36Speaker 4: he doesn't believe in fair, free elections. He believes in
- 18:39Speaker 4: competitive authoritarianism. Try to like democracy on fire, try to
- 18:42Speaker 4: wrect this country. After January sixth, just pardoned all the
- 18:46Speaker 4: participants of that and just gave them one point eight
- 18:48Speaker 4: billion dollars slush fight that actually happened. He sees the
- 18:51Speaker 4: ballot and trying to take over what's going on in
- 18:53Speaker 4: Fulm County, one of the most critical swing districts in
- 18:55Speaker 4: the United States of America.
- 19:00Speaker 17: Are you looking to take any accelis or anything you
- 19:02Speaker 17: can do about them?
- 19:04Speaker 4: Well, I've been thinking a lot. I'm not in Congress.
- 19:06Speaker 4: I was out there in Washington, d C. Trying to
- 19:08Speaker 4: make a case a new some good meetings with EPA
- 19:13Speaker 4: Lee's eldens. I want to get them fired. But you know,
- 19:20Speaker 4: there is teams working hard to see what we can
- 19:24Speaker 4: do to help the victims of last year's fires in
- 19:26Speaker 4: Los Angeles. And you know, so I was up there
- 19:28Speaker 4: around the time when legislative leaders were all, you know,
- 19:33Speaker 4: discussing what the options were. And so I've been thinking
- 19:35Speaker 4: a lot about it and my fly back. And one
- 19:37Speaker 4: thing that I think we're going to try to do
- 19:39Speaker 4: with your support is tax one hundred percent anyone from
- 19:43Speaker 4: California that receives any of those funds.
- 19:47Speaker 3: We want to tax one.
- 19:49Speaker 1: So I'm not making that up.
- 19:51Speaker 8: That's and if you don't know what weaponization of government
- 19:54Speaker 8: sounds like, that's it right there. It's not your money,
- 20:03Speaker 8: it's their money. Competitive authoritarianism. Does that mean he's competing
- 20:10Speaker 8: with your authoritarianism? Gave, But these are the folks who
- 20:14Speaker 8: want to be president. And one of the dangers in
- 20:18Speaker 8: their rhetoric is there claiming that simply trying to make
- 20:22Speaker 8: sure that only valid US citizens cast votes in their elections,
- 20:28Speaker 8: whether it be in Illinois, in Joliet, or Greenwich, Connecticut,
- 20:38Speaker 8: or Portland, Oregon, or Callispell, Montana, Sandpoint, Idaho, all the
- 20:47Speaker 8: way down to Eloi, Arizona, all points in between, Salt
- 20:53Speaker 8: Lake City and Provo, Colorado Springs, and all the places
- 20:57Speaker 8: you're listening to this, Hannibal. If you challenge to make
- 21:06Speaker 8: sure that only US citizens are voting, you're a threat
- 21:09Speaker 8: to democracy. If you think shenanigans went on in the election,
- 21:18Speaker 8: you're a threat to democracy or Israe likes to remind
- 21:22Speaker 8: us democratsy if you say something like I did last week.
- 21:28Speaker 8: Remember we were talking about the Intel community and their
- 21:31Speaker 8: concerns over Chinese technology. Mark Warner, the loud bellakos ranking
- 21:40Speaker 8: democrat on the Senate Intel community, going on about President
- 21:44Speaker 8: Trump's deals with China and how he's not protecting us
- 21:48Speaker 8: from Huawei and all the ways the chaiicoms are surveilling
- 21:52Speaker 8: us through our technology, except, of course, the Chinese manufacturered
- 21:57Speaker 8: voting machines that are in all of your polling places.

- 29:12Speaker 10: we're going to drain the pond behind our house.
- 29:14Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, all right, be careful with that. I thought, so,
- 29:18Speaker 8: now are you You're not in Orlando? Because I remember,
- 29:21Speaker 8: right Oene, all.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Right, Orange.
- 29:24Speaker 10: It's this little community, now little it's pretty good sized town.
- 29:27Speaker 10: It's between News Morna Beach and Daytona. I'm twenty minutes
- 29:30Speaker 10: from the Daytona track, which is a nice transition because
- 29:34Speaker 10: I've been a Tony Stewart fan for a long long time. Okay,
- 29:38Speaker 10: and a year ago, about a year ago or so,
- 29:40Speaker 10: Butt and I had him on on Foster and Friends, right,
- 29:43Speaker 10: and he he it was such a scientist of racing
- 29:48Speaker 10: and such a proponent of racing at all levels.
- 29:51Speaker 1: He explained the difference.
- 29:54Speaker 10: He diagrammed the difference between an indy car, the g
- 29:58Speaker 10: forces of an Indie car and a stock car, and
- 30:01Speaker 10: he used a bowling Ball as an example. Now I
- 30:04Speaker 10: can't go into Howie, but I'll never forget to explain. Okay, Well,
- 30:07Speaker 10: any way, he hit he was on a podcast that
- 30:10Speaker 10: I discovered, a radio show with guys sitting around a
- 30:14Speaker 10: table in a beautiful sets called Oil.
- 30:15Speaker 1: And Whiskey is the name of the name of the show,
- 30:19Speaker 1: which I love the name of the show. Right. Well,
- 30:21Speaker 1: they talked to him for close to two hours.
- 30:23Speaker 10: So what grabbed the headline was his conversation about the
- 30:27Speaker 10: early days of NASCAR and that Tony Stewart said, you
- 30:30Speaker 10: know what, I don't watch anymore. I don't like it anymore.
- 30:33Speaker 10: He goes, they've lowered the horsepower. Things have changed. Well,
- 30:36Speaker 10: he tells a couple of great stories about Bill Franz Junior,
- 30:39Speaker 10: who took over for his dad.
- 30:40Speaker 1: If you remember in.
- 30:40Speaker 10: Seventy two became the CEO of NASCAR till about the
- 30:44Speaker 10: year two thousand, Well it was it was Smokes Tony Stewart.
- 30:47Speaker 10: It was Smoke's rookie year in ninety nine where he
- 30:50Speaker 10: really started to impress people.
- 30:52Speaker 1: But Bill Franz.
- 30:53Speaker 10: Junior did not like what Stuart was doing because they
- 30:57Speaker 10: were and so and Tony is convent that France was
- 31:02Speaker 10: telling you, caution, we need a lot of caution laps.
- 31:05Speaker 10: I need another car during the race, he would say,
- 31:08Speaker 10: Stuart would fall behind it, I'll let him explain the story.
- 31:11Speaker 1: He'd fall behind, and then France would say, we need
- 31:14Speaker 1: another caution. Listen to this story.
- 31:16Speaker 26: And Bill sat me down and he goes, boy, don't
- 31:19Speaker 26: you ever stink up my show like that?
- 31:21Speaker 1: Do you think my job? I'm trying to think, what
- 31:24Speaker 1: the hell did I do?
- 31:24Speaker 8: Well?
- 31:25Speaker 26: Problem was, I'd get to about a three second lead.
- 31:28Speaker 26: Next thing you know, they throw the caution. You have
- 31:30Speaker 26: a bad pit stop, you get behind. I'd fight my
- 31:32Speaker 26: way back to the lead and get to a three
- 31:34Speaker 26: second lead.
- 31:35Speaker 8: Caution come out.
- 31:36Speaker 26: If you didn't play by the rules the way they
- 31:38Speaker 26: wanted you to play, if you were stinking the show
- 31:40Speaker 26: up or whatever, they'd either throw a caution or you guess,
- 31:42Speaker 26: speeding penalty.
- 31:43Speaker 1: All right.
- 31:44Speaker 10: So with that, he goes on to tell a story
- 31:46Speaker 10: that grabbed major major headlines, and talking about it, he
- 31:49Speaker 10: said that Bill Frantz Junior had a relationship with Dale
- 31:52Speaker 10: Earnhardt Junior, but maybe not a very good I mean
- 31:56Speaker 10: that Dale Earnhart Senior. He goes, maybe not the best
- 31:59Speaker 10: relationship in the world. Okay, so he tells this story.
- 32:03Speaker 26: When Bill France Junior was still alive. Bill would have
- 32:07Speaker 26: two radios. One was the NASCAR radio and one was
- 32:11Speaker 26: the radio that went to the three car. He could
- 32:14Speaker 26: talk to Dale during the race.
- 32:16Speaker 8: It was real.
- 32:16Speaker 1: Yeah, so he would tell he would tell Dell, all right,
- 32:19Speaker 1: you got it. Back off.
- 32:20Speaker 10: But here's here's the famous story that made most of
- 32:23Speaker 10: the headlines from Bill France Junior.
- 32:24Speaker 1: As I said, he ruled he definitely.
- 32:26Speaker 10: You know, he was a Washington, DC guy, and he
- 32:29Speaker 10: ruled NASCAR with you know, with an iron fist during
- 32:33Speaker 10: those early days.
- 32:34Speaker 1: He was vice president for.
- 32:35Speaker 10: Six years and then when his dad retired in seventy two,
- 32:38Speaker 10: he took over.
- 32:39Speaker 4: Right.
- 32:39Speaker 10: So, but he was instrumental in really taking NASCAR outside
- 32:43Speaker 10: of its traditional American base. He had an Australian tire dealer.
- 32:48Speaker 10: He cut a deal with all this stuff he did. Okay,
- 32:50Speaker 10: So now Smoke tells his story that just grabbed all
- 32:54Speaker 10: kinds of headlines. What caught my attention and it's how
- 32:57Speaker 10: I found oil and whiskey. He Bill Frantz Junior invites day.
- 33:02Speaker 10: He goes this, this explains how things are happening okay
- 33:07Speaker 10: in NASCAR.
- 33:08Speaker 1: He brings Dale down, takes.
- 33:10Speaker 10: Him to the ocean to fish, and he has a
- 33:12Speaker 10: little conversation with uh what you know, number the number
- 33:17Speaker 10: three driver he'd.
- 33:18Speaker 8: Won the championship.
- 33:20Speaker 26: I think two years in a row. Dale got invited
- 33:23Speaker 26: to go down with Bill Junior down to fishing on
- 33:27Speaker 26: the on the odd out in the ocean, and he goes,
- 33:29Speaker 26: you're not winning the championship next year?
- 33:31Speaker 8: I mean I'm not winning.
- 33:32Speaker 26: He goes, no, I'm not gonna win three in a row.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Oh man, any minute. That's the way it was.
- 33:38Speaker 26: That that was the end of conversation. And he didn't
- 33:41Speaker 26: win the third year in a row.
- 33:43Speaker 10: Wow, he wanted to share the welth And you know, hey,
- 33:47Speaker 10: what if gonna stick, you're not gonna stink up my show?
- 33:50Speaker 8: We you know we've and and too many people mischaracterized NASCAR,
- 33:55Speaker 8: uh in and along with what what's the phrase they use?
- 33:58Speaker 8: Oh yeah, stick and ball sports, right, But NASCAR is
- 34:03Speaker 8: a tour much more like or akin to the PGA.
- 34:08Speaker 8: And can you imagine the PGA commissioner saying to well,
- 34:12Speaker 8: who's the most notable is it? Rory McElroy coming back.
- 34:15Speaker 1: From telling Tiger. Hey, Tiger, you can't. You can't win
- 34:19Speaker 1: this Tiger Slam, So you're gonna have to tank it
- 34:22Speaker 1: for the US Open.
- 34:23Speaker 8: Well, or or we'll just keep making throwing new rules
- 34:26Speaker 8: at your feet that.
- 34:27Speaker 10: Do it exactly well, LinkedIn go well, oh well, LinkedIn
- 34:29Speaker 10: golf courses, and we'll change the golf ball.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Oh well, that's how that's how Augusta became seventy four
- 34:36Speaker 1: hundred yards. I mean it used to be, it used
- 34:38Speaker 1: to be you know different.
- 34:39Speaker 10: But I the whole thing because back in the day,
- 34:41Speaker 10: and i't even remember the Iowa State Fair, my dad was,
- 34:44Speaker 10: you know, would play in the band.
- 34:45Speaker 1: My dad played with Bob Hope and Cheer and Red Skelton.
- 34:48Speaker 10: Wow, my dad had a great music job career, right,
- 34:53Speaker 10: so at the Iowa State Fair. Though, one year he
- 34:55Speaker 10: got me a job to because the Iowa State Fair
- 34:58Speaker 10: they'd have this big, big race at the at the
- 35:01Speaker 10: track and you got to be a lap counter, which
- 35:04Speaker 10: I thought, which and I love stock call, you know,
- 35:06Speaker 10: early on I was loving cars or whatever size Sify
- 35:09Speaker 10: sixteen seventeen, whatever, And I get this job. And so
- 35:12Speaker 10: your job was because you know, they didn't have transponders.
- 35:15Speaker 10: They didn't have any you know, computerized way, so you
- 35:19Speaker 10: had to You got a car, You drew a car
- 35:22Speaker 10: out of a hat that was your car. You found
- 35:25Speaker 10: out who the driver was, and then you still you
- 35:27Speaker 10: stowed up in the tower. You stayed up in the tower,
- 35:29Speaker 10: ate press food and counted laps. Now, if the car
- 35:32Speaker 10: went out and didn't come back, you had to walk
- 35:35Speaker 10: down to the pit and go down and s excuse me,
- 35:40Speaker 10: mister Wackett whatever the driver's name was, Excuse me, mister Thomas,
- 35:44Speaker 10: are you going to be back? Get the right we're
- 35:48Speaker 10: out of the ray. We we lost a chance at
- 35:50Speaker 10: fifteen hundred dollars, don't even tell. So then you had
- 35:52Speaker 10: to go back upstairs, and then you had to report
- 35:55Speaker 10: that your guy was your guy was done.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Well that's what yeah, because that's what answer.
- 36:00Speaker 10: I mean, what Smunk was talking about is that the
- 36:03Speaker 10: people up in the tower for transponders would have stopwatches
- 36:08Speaker 10: and they had to monitor the pit stops as far
- 36:13Speaker 10: as whether they were you know, taking too long or
- 36:16Speaker 10: what was going on or.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Were there going to be penalties there or yeah.
- 36:21Speaker 10: They It was you know, pretty archaic, but boy, those
- 36:25Speaker 10: were the days of rubbing and racing right.
- 36:27Speaker 8: Well, you know, but here's the thing, and you know,
- 36:29Speaker 8: and we race cars to test equipment. We we race cars.
- 36:34Speaker 8: The auto manufacturers ask you to race their car just
- 36:38Speaker 8: to stress tested. A lot of the things that are
- 36:40Speaker 8: on cars today, tires, et cetera that we use were
- 36:44Speaker 8: invented on race tracks or perfected on race tracks and
- 36:48Speaker 8: stuff like that, and we forget that part of racing.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:51Speaker 8: Sure, the first ones were racing for moonshine or for
- 36:55Speaker 8: the contract in delivering the moonshine. But NASCAR, to me
- 37:02Speaker 8: is just a great example of where college football is going.
- 37:06Speaker 8: They outgrew their bridges, they tried to play around with
- 37:09Speaker 8: the game, and then the fans started to go watch
- 37:12Speaker 8: something else, and then the sponsors started to go look
- 37:14Speaker 8: for something else. And every time you and I get
- 37:17Speaker 8: crazy about the NCAA football playoffs and one hundred and
- 37:21Speaker 8: thirty three teams or whatever it is going to be,
- 37:24Speaker 8: it's because they're doing exactly what NASCAR did back, you know,
- 37:28Speaker 8: in the late nineties exactly.
- 37:31Speaker 10: And every sport in the world tried tried to mimic
- 37:35Speaker 10: because they can talk to drivers in the cars. Well,
- 37:37Speaker 10: now we interview players, we interview golfers on the course.
- 37:40Speaker 10: We put headsets on them, man in dugouts, and now
- 37:44Speaker 10: we're putting yeah, we're putting sponsorships on baseball uniforms. So
- 37:48Speaker 10: you don't think, yeah, NASCAR has had a little bit
- 37:51Speaker 10: of influence.
- 37:51Speaker 1: In our world.
- 37:52Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and we're all racists, I mean, race fans, racers. Yeah,
- 37:57Speaker 8: thank you back, have a.

- 39:04Speaker 21: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
- 39:09Speaker 21: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 39:14Speaker 21: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 39:19Speaker 21: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 39:23Speaker 21: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 39:28Speaker 21: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 39:33Speaker 21: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 39:36Speaker 21: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 39:40Speaker 21: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

- 40:34Speaker 23: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
- 40:38Speaker 23: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 40:42Speaker 23: the one for new Maccle disease can protect adults from
- 40:45Speaker 23: illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:50Speaker 23: New maccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:54Speaker 23: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 23: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 41:00Speaker 23: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 44:12Speaker 3: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 44:15Speaker 3: Media Network. All natural and free you of artificial intelligence.
- 44:23Speaker 8: I remember the US House of Representatives or should I
- 44:27Speaker 8: say reformed perhaps you know Escapee of the US House
- 44:30Speaker 8: of Representatives. He is the host of the Good for
- 44:33Speaker 8: America podcast Bob Good, Good morning, Bob. How are you doing, sir,
- 44:39Speaker 8: morning Joe?
- 44:40Speaker 3: Doing well?
- 44:40Speaker 8: I hope you are, absolutely so. I was thinking about
- 44:43Speaker 8: you earlier in the week. You and I have had
- 44:45Speaker 8: some great conversations on morality in the marketplace, and and
- 44:50Speaker 8: you know what it means to.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Be a moral crowd.
- 44:55Speaker 8: And earlier in the week, Pope Leo issued his first
- 45:00Speaker 8: and cyclical and it was on artificial intelligence. And it
- 45:05Speaker 8: struck me that he danced around what really to me.
- 45:09Speaker 8: I was hopeful that his message was listen, if we're
- 45:12Speaker 8: God fearing ten commandments, following people, AI isn't a problem.
- 45:18Speaker 8: It's when we start corrupting ourselves into our own greed
- 45:22Speaker 8: and sloth and avarice, that that's when AI is going
- 45:29Speaker 8: to go asunder, just like any other inanimate object you've
- 45:32Speaker 8: been in the legislative world, he seemed to be calling
- 45:35Speaker 8: on legislators to do more to reign in AI than
- 45:40Speaker 8: he was on reminding us that we're the ones who
- 45:42Speaker 8: are supposed to reign in AI. What should be the
- 45:47Speaker 8: right balance from where you've sat, Bob on artificial intelligence
- 45:51Speaker 8: and the regulatory state.
- 45:55Speaker 28: Well, this does seem to be an issue that's going
- 45:57Speaker 28: to be extremely difficult, if not possible, to contain or
- 46:01Speaker 28: to rein in, or to manage the power of the
- 46:07Speaker 28: technological advancement, which is, you know, accelerating every day. This
- 46:11Speaker 28: is a runaway train going down the hill that I'm
- 46:15Speaker 28: not sure that there's any capability really ultimately to rein
- 46:18Speaker 28: it in. I don't know that any of us really
- 46:20Speaker 28: know where it's going to take us. And that combined
- 46:24Speaker 28: with your point of the increasing or decreasing level of morality,
- 46:32Speaker 28: if you will, or stability or a foundation of what
- 46:37Speaker 28: really matters and what should really govern how we live
- 46:41Speaker 28: and how we conduct our affairs, I don't think most
- 46:45Speaker 28: of us will say the country or the world is
- 46:46Speaker 28: going in the right direction in that respect. I do
- 46:50Speaker 28: have concern with the federal government trampling on the autonomy
- 46:57Speaker 28: of states and the state's abilities to have their own
- 47:00Speaker 28: AI restrictions. You know, we say, oh, well, it'd be
- 47:03Speaker 28: too difficult and too complicated for the marketplace, the industry.
- 47:11Speaker 28: You will navigate a patchwork of fifty different restrictions or
- 47:17Speaker 28: regulations or so forth by state. But how do we
- 47:20Speaker 28: constitutionally say that the federal government can and prevent states
- 47:24Speaker 28: from having their own restrictions and that this supposedly unlimited
- 47:28Speaker 28: or uninfinite capacity of AI community for lack of better word,
- 47:37Speaker 28: they cannot navigate that. Really, I don't care if it's
- 47:40Speaker 28: more difficult for them or more strenuous for them. And
- 47:43Speaker 28: of course we get the scare tactics and the fear
- 47:45Speaker 28: mongering saying, oh, well, we'll be overcome by our foreign
- 47:48Speaker 28: adversaries if we put any reasonable restrictions on the technological advancement.
- 47:57Speaker 8: But at the same time they'll tell us to be
- 47:59Speaker 8: afraid of the actual technological equipment that we use, because
- 48:03Speaker 8: you know, this chip was made in China and that
- 48:07Speaker 8: motherboard was made in China. You know, it's funny how
- 48:10Speaker 8: guys like Mark Warner are always telling us to be
- 48:12Speaker 8: afraid of Huawei and these chip manufacturers, except when it
- 48:16Speaker 8: comes to our voting machines, and for some reason that
- 48:19Speaker 8: that kit is not, you know, subject to any concerns
- 48:24Speaker 8: over whether it's whether they're being manipulated by you know,
- 48:27Speaker 8: Beijing or not.
- 48:29Speaker 28: Well, good point, but it's bypart is in the sense that, remember,
- 48:32Speaker 28: we were against TikTok until we decided it helped us
- 48:35Speaker 28: win the twenty four election, and then we liked TikTok.
- 48:38Speaker 28: So we haven't implemented the restrictions that I and some
- 48:42Speaker 28: mothers in Congress voted for on TikTok because it's believed
- 48:45Speaker 28: by some that it helped Pusident Trump win the twenty
- 48:47Speaker 28: four elections.
- 48:48Speaker 8: So I, you know, I guess it comes back to
- 48:52Speaker 8: something I was saying earlier in the week. I mean,
- 48:54Speaker 8: you know, and I think, and people disagree with me
- 48:57Speaker 8: whether or not you should how we view the internet
- 49:01Speaker 8: at hole. But I've told people, probably for twenty years now,
- 49:06Speaker 8: if you're on the Internet, you're out on the street.
- 49:09Speaker 8: You may think you're in your dining room, you may
- 49:11Speaker 8: think you're in your basement or your grandma's basement, but
- 49:14Speaker 8: you're actually walking down the street on a public thoroughfare.
- 49:19Speaker 8: And if somebody watches you do something there, it's on you.
- 49:23Speaker 8: Don't do those things. If you don't want somebody to
- 49:26Speaker 8: come after you for it, go ahead.
- 49:31Speaker 28: No, indeed, you're exacting right.
- 49:33Speaker 8: So the other aspect of this week, you know, we
- 49:37Speaker 8: talked last week about the Kentucky fourth to the Texas
- 49:42Speaker 8: race for US Senate Paxton. I predicted by given how
- 49:48Speaker 8: close he was, considering how much RNC money went into
- 49:51Speaker 8: John Cornyn's campaign, and he only eked out a one
- 49:55Speaker 8: percentage point lead over Paxton in the first round of
- 50:00Speaker 8: Mary's that when it was Mono Imano and more people
- 50:03Speaker 8: were watching, Paxton was going to run away with it.
- 50:05Speaker 8: And you know, of course I was right in that,
- 50:08Speaker 8: you know, but does that put into peril that Senate seats?
- 50:13Speaker 8: You know, because Paxton is a new candidate. He's had,
- 50:18Speaker 8: you know, allegations of immoralities and marital issues there versus
- 50:24Speaker 8: electoral issues of John Cornyn, and what does he stand
- 50:28Speaker 8: for in the Senate? Is that a no win scenario
- 50:31Speaker 8: for our friends in Texas.
- 50:33Speaker 28: It is a challenging situation. On the one hand, you
- 50:35Speaker 28: look at tall Rico and you said, guys, this guy
- 50:38Speaker 28: is pretty extreme. This guy he's trying to dial back
- 50:41Speaker 28: now thinks that he has said and positions that he
- 50:43Speaker 28: has held, and trying to say that you know that
- 50:46Speaker 28: he doesn't really hold those positions, if you will, the
- 50:49Speaker 28: extreme things that he has said. And is Texas, which
- 50:53Speaker 28: hasn't elected a Democrat statewide since nineteen ninety four. So
- 50:57Speaker 28: it is Texas for the first time in thirty two years,
- 51:00Speaker 28: ready to elect a Democrat, and an extreme left wing
- 51:05Speaker 28: Democrat who believes ridiculous things on LGBT issues and trans issues,
- 51:12Speaker 28: and thinks trans children are wonderful things, and obviously has
- 51:16Speaker 28: said some crazy things about God being non binary and
- 51:19Speaker 28: so forth. So he's a dangerous leftist. But if you
- 51:24Speaker 28: look at recent Texas history, just in the Senate in particular,
- 51:27Speaker 28: Ted Cruz only won by one point over Beto O'Rourke
- 51:32Speaker 28: in twenty eighteen, and I think he won by three
- 51:35Speaker 28: points in twenty four So the Texas electorate, you've got
- 51:43Speaker 28: President Trump. You know, November is concerning generally for the
- 51:47Speaker 28: election overall, not just in Texas. Helping the Republicans is
- 51:53Speaker 28: the fact that Democrats and Democrat policies are even less
- 51:55Speaker 28: popular than Republicans. However, you're not gonna have Trump on
- 52:01Speaker 28: the ballot, and there's some people Republicans who only vote
- 52:03Speaker 28: when Trump's on the ballot. You're going to have disappointed,
- 52:06Speaker 28: disillusion Republicans. Maybe they're Thomas Massey supporters, maybe they're anti war,
- 52:10Speaker 28: maybe they're anti regime change. Maybe they're upset about the
- 52:14Speaker 28: Epstein files, maybe they're upset about the debt and the
- 52:17Speaker 28: spending and so forth. You might have depressed Republican turnout,
- 52:20Speaker 28: while Democrats are going to be highly motivated because they're
- 52:24Speaker 28: anti Trump and that's what drives them so. And that said,
- 52:28Speaker 28: President Trump sort of broke it. He should buy it
- 52:30Speaker 28: if you will. The Republicans spend one hundred million dollars
- 52:35Speaker 28: or something like that in this primary situation. He endorsed Paxton,
- 52:38Speaker 28: who's terribly compromised from a moral and ethical standpoint. I
- 52:41Speaker 28: think he's more conservative than John Cornyn, but a lot
- 52:44Speaker 28: of folks don't like him in Texas because of his
- 52:46Speaker 28: ethical moral issues.
- 52:48Speaker 8: Bob Good on with us Good for America Podcast.
