- 0:29Speaker 7: Let them be your Joe. Thank you for letting me
- 0:32Speaker 7: be your Joe this morning and every morning. What does
- 0:36Speaker 7: that mean? That means I'm here to support your day.
- 0:40Speaker 7: Your day is going to be better because we'll tell
- 0:43Speaker 7: you what went on last night. We'll tell you what
- 0:46Speaker 7: we see in it, but I will also hear how
- 0:49Speaker 7: it's impacting you where you are.
- 0:52Speaker 8: Many others, including the United Nations. But I want to
- 0:56Speaker 8: thank you all for being here. Yesterday we had a
- 0:59Speaker 8: incredibly successful visit with many of the world's top business leaders,
- 1:04Speaker 8: the best, the biggest, most successful.
- 1:08Speaker 2: And foreign heads of state.
- 1:09Speaker 8: And now we have one of the most important meetings
- 1:12Speaker 8: of all the official formation of what is known as
- 1:16Speaker 8: the Board of Peace. I want to thank I had
- 1:21Speaker 8: a Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff,
- 1:26Speaker 8: and Jared Kushner and their extraordinary work. I mean, they
- 1:30Speaker 8: have done an amazing job. We have peace in the
- 1:32Speaker 8: Middle East. Nobody thought that was possible.
- 1:36Speaker 7: And well and right now that is This was the
- 1:40Speaker 7: point as he was heading to Davos, everyone was talking
- 1:43Speaker 7: about Venezuela and told the story. I told you this
- 1:46Speaker 7: at the onset of all of these dramas. You never
- 1:51Speaker 7: judge Donald Trump in process while the while the eggs
- 1:56Speaker 7: are being cracked, you don't judge the omelet, and I
- 2:01Speaker 7: mean he's cracking eggs. And then all of a sudden
- 2:05Speaker 7: there's NATO Jack Root is, well, you know, we're going
- 2:08Speaker 7: to Greenland, Venezuela. And what do all these things have
- 2:14Speaker 7: to do with one another. They all connect back to
- 2:17Speaker 7: Iran and their power structure of international Marxism. And the
- 2:30Speaker 7: important thing that we have to look at in the
- 2:33Speaker 7: development of what is going on in all of these
- 2:37Speaker 7: places is it's weakened Iran to the point where the
- 2:42Speaker 7: riots going on in their streets still go on. It's
- 2:48Speaker 7: become less interesting to the press because Trump is this
- 2:55Speaker 7: gravitational field. And we played eclips last week our friends
- 3:04Speaker 7: at America's Roundtable, Joel and Natasha that hosted they got
- 3:10Speaker 7: together with Reza Pilavi, a couple of folks. Really, we're
- 3:14Speaker 7: going to bring the Shah's sun back. He's different than
- 3:17Speaker 7: his his dad on this and pretty clear about it.
- 3:23Speaker 7: But if you go to America's roundtable, you think you
- 3:26Speaker 7: can hear the show over again. Iranian official deaths told
- 3:32Speaker 7: that the Iranians are admitting in the protests has reached
- 3:36Speaker 7: five thousand. And we'll tell you about this coming up
- 3:42Speaker 7: in the first things that we are sending the USS
- 3:46Speaker 7: Abraham Lincoln into the Gulf to make sure that anything
- 3:52Speaker 7: while this peace plan over Gaza continues. And remember who
- 3:58Speaker 7: a client state of Iran was, That was Hamas and
- 4:07Speaker 7: they were doing Iran's bidding in this. So by breaking
- 4:13Speaker 7: that cabal, the President has done something that hasn't been
- 4:20Speaker 7: able to happen in a long time, and is get
- 4:23Speaker 7: both sides sitting down and talking about what they want,
- 4:28Speaker 7: because the Palestinians they don't want to be bombed anymore
- 4:33Speaker 7: than the Israelis. Dudes moving forward on this board of
- 4:38Speaker 7: peace announced yesterday in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Art Carney
- 4:46Speaker 7: said that he didn't want to.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Be in.
- 4:52Speaker 7: The Board of Peace anyway. The United States President Trump
- 4:57Speaker 7: had rescinded their invitation. President Trump then said Canada lives
- 5:03Speaker 7: because of the United States. Carney said Canada can show
- 5:08Speaker 7: the world the future doesn't have to be autocratic, despite
- 5:13Speaker 7: the fact that the Crown of England technically governs the
- 5:17Speaker 7: country from overseas. That said, the United Kingdom has also
- 5:22Speaker 7: declined invitation into the Board of Peace, citing interactions with
- 5:29Speaker 7: Russia for their reasoning. Former Special Council Jack Smith was
- 5:36Speaker 7: on Capitol Hill being grilled over the use of confidential informants,
- 5:42Speaker 7: but not as far as most of us wanted them
- 5:44Speaker 7: to push. He did say to the Congressional Oversight at
- 5:48Speaker 7: the Judiciary Committee, I am not a politician and I
- 5:52Speaker 7: have no partisan loyalties. I guess there was a pause
- 5:57Speaker 7: while everyone laughed. US military aircraft carrier mentioned the USS
- 6:02Speaker 7: Abraham Lincoln and their strike group is in the Middle
- 6:06Speaker 7: East or is on their way to the Middle East
- 6:08Speaker 7: from the Pacific today, as tensions continue and the riots
- 6:14Speaker 7: continue in Tehran, House Republicans defeated a resolution yesterday that
- 6:20Speaker 7: would have barred President Trump from any further military action
- 6:24Speaker 7: in Venezuela without the authorization of Congress. The Louisiana Senate
- 6:35Speaker 7: race has heated up as Congresswoman Julia Letlow from Louisiana's
- 6:42Speaker 7: fifth district has entered the race to unseed Republican incumbany
- 6:46Speaker 7: Bill Cassidy. State Representative Julie Emerson has shuddered her campaign
- 6:52Speaker 7: and thrown her endorsement behind Letlow. And those are some
- 6:55Speaker 7: of our first things this morning.
- 7:01Speaker 9: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 9: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 9: to look into. And that's Meta share. Maybe you've heard
- 7:10Speaker 9: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
- 7:13Speaker 9: five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
- 7:16Speaker 9: also true. People are just happier with it. They love
- 7:18Speaker 9: being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
- 7:22Speaker 9: and what they believe in. Meda Share works too. It's
- 7:25Speaker 9: been around for thirty years now and members have shared
- 7:27Speaker 9: more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills. People
- 7:31Speaker 9: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really,
- 7:36Speaker 9: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
- 7:38Speaker 9: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
- 7:41Speaker 9: whether you're self employed or part of the gig economy.

- 9:02Speaker 11: You were strolling along in Goodwill when, just past that

- 9:57Speaker 14: Exercise is hard, so was maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, Type two diabetes,
- 10:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 10:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 10:15Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 10:21Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
- 10:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 10:32Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

- 13:09Speaker 1: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
- 13:15Speaker 1: Media Network, all naturalists, and for you of artificial intelligence.
- 13:19Speaker 7: Okay, thank you for letting us be of service to you, Greenland,
- 13:28Speaker 7: the Great White North, and the gas lighting.
- 13:34Speaker 17: Hey, welcome to our single I'm Bob mackenzie and this.
- 13:37Speaker 7: Is my brother Doug.
- 13:38Speaker 11: I've been going a.
- 13:41Speaker 7: So the the native NATO takeover and the reaction to
- 13:52Speaker 7: the NATO move has left a lot of people scratching
- 13:56Speaker 7: their heads. Just you know Denmark, all these protesters who
- 14:05Speaker 7: were sure that they were going to protest America's takeover,
- 14:18Speaker 7: and all of a sudden their government is in peril
- 14:21Speaker 7: because the activists who have sought this position in the
- 14:26Speaker 7: world are now saying, well, Trump, Denmark is just a
- 14:31Speaker 7: client state of the United States and NATO, and we
- 14:35Speaker 7: need to get out of NATO. There's protests against that.
- 14:43Speaker 7: But my favorite is Trump melts down over Carnie snub
- 14:50Speaker 7: and you read the story. I love these headlines and
- 14:53Speaker 7: there's nothing in the story except that President Trump said
- 14:57Speaker 7: he's got his own path, he's going to have to go.
- 15:01Speaker 7: That doesn't sound like a meltdown to me. People have
- 15:05Speaker 7: to write headlines that you have some truth in advertising.
- 15:10Speaker 7: They used to years ago. We lived in New York State,
- 15:13Speaker 7: and they actually passed a law in New York State
- 15:16Speaker 7: and they believe it's still on the books that if
- 15:19Speaker 7: you advertise that your business is going out of business
- 15:22Speaker 7: you have a big sale saying, you know, going out
- 15:25Speaker 7: of business sale, that within six months you actually have
- 15:29Speaker 7: to go out of business. And I remember thinking about
- 15:32Speaker 7: that and chuckling because there were businesses, especially electronics stores,
- 15:37Speaker 7: that would hold a going out of business sale, generate
- 15:41Speaker 7: massive cash flow from all the people coming into buy
- 15:46Speaker 7: the electronics that they were selling for discounts, and they'd
- 15:50Speaker 7: make enough money to not have to close. So nanny
- 15:55Speaker 7: state steps in New York State that's same and says
- 16:00Speaker 7: if you advertise that you're going out of business, you
- 16:02Speaker 7: actually have to go out of business. What business of
- 16:05Speaker 7: it is yours? But I digress. That's just the truth
- 16:09Speaker 7: in advertising. I would love the news media to have
- 16:14Speaker 7: to live in that world as well. But the protesters
- 16:20Speaker 7: in Greenland now are imposturing PBS what remains of them.
- 16:30Speaker 7: Denmark and Greenland say sovereignty is not negotiable. After Trump's
- 16:36Speaker 7: agreement with Route so all of a sudden, they don't
- 16:40Speaker 7: want NATO leaders in Denmark and Greenland, and by leaders
- 16:45Speaker 7: the Associated press means people who have sent them press
- 16:49Speaker 7: releases saying we're leaders in this community, not actual elected folks.
- 16:54Speaker 7: In most cases, we're going to have total access to Greenland,
- 17:02Speaker 7: President Trump said. NATO's spokesman. Spokesperson Alison Hart said the
- 17:07Speaker 7: Alliance's Secretary General Mark Root did not propose a compromise
- 17:13Speaker 7: to sovereignty. It was just that NATO was going to
- 17:17Speaker 7: provide the security. Prime Minister Jan Frederick Nielsen voiced guarded relief.
- 17:31Speaker 7: I don't know what there is in the agreement or
- 17:34Speaker 7: the deal about my country, he told reporters. Danish Prime
- 17:40Speaker 7: Minister met Fredericson, as opposed to Jen Frederick Nielsen, said
- 17:51Speaker 7: security in the Arctic is a matter for all of
- 17:54Speaker 7: NATO and is good and natural, and that it has
- 17:57Speaker 7: been discussed. He wrote. We cannot negotiate on our sovereignty.
- 18:02Speaker 7: He added, I have been informed that that has not
- 18:05Speaker 7: been the case, but the protesters are still out there
- 18:09Speaker 7: getting their march on. I guess you know, at some
- 18:12Speaker 7: point George Soros's money has to be spent, otherwise you're
- 18:16Speaker 7: not going to get more at the at the next
- 18:19Speaker 7: end of the funding stream, so you need to spend
- 18:22Speaker 7: it all so that you can get more later. But
- 18:31Speaker 7: it's laughable to me how the press, almost as if
- 18:35Speaker 7: they have some sort of psychotic break, can act like
- 18:39Speaker 7: the past two weeks of coverage never happened. There was
- 18:47Speaker 7: an old Saturday Night Live routine. I think it was
- 18:50Speaker 7: the news commentator they were making fun of was a
- 18:54Speaker 7: consumer advocate on local television in New York, so it
- 19:02Speaker 7: wasn't Jane Curtin. I think it was Gilda Radner. Did
- 19:05Speaker 7: this character called Emily Littella who always had it wrong.
- 19:10Speaker 7: She was always wrong about whatever she was honking on about.
- 19:15Speaker 7: And at the end of the segment, Jane Curtain would
- 19:17Speaker 7: you know or Dan Akroy whoever the anchor was, would
- 19:20Speaker 7: politely correct Emily la Tell's mistake, and she'd look at
- 19:24Speaker 7: the camera and say, oh, never mind, and I want
- 19:29Speaker 7: that oh never mind moment from these activists all across
- 19:36Speaker 7: the media landscape who were making big money off of
- 19:40Speaker 7: clickthroughs on their videos, stomping around about how the US
- 19:49Speaker 7: was going to invade Greenland and this was going to
- 19:52Speaker 7: be the end of NATO, and then when Mark Rout
- 19:54Speaker 7: sits down with him, it's like, uh, hey, did you notice,
- 20:00Speaker 7: just in case you hadn't noticed, it's to me just
- 20:10Speaker 7: it was par for the course. But it's about and
- 20:14Speaker 7: I said this yesterday to the early seating, and I
- 20:16Speaker 7: want to say it to you here. It's about one
- 20:20Speaker 7: or two percent of the electorate. That's all it is.
- 20:26Speaker 7: It's about that one percent that just sees the headline.
- 20:29Speaker 7: Trump melts down after Carnie rebukes Peace Board invite, Trump
- 20:41Speaker 7: melts down over Gavin Newsom's appearance. And you read the
- 20:47Speaker 7: article and there's nothing in it about Trump melting down.
- 20:50Speaker 7: He had some negative things to say about Gavin Newsom,
- 20:53Speaker 7: but it didn't sound like he melted down. Meltdown implies
- 20:58Speaker 7: unstability and lack of control, all things that you would
- 21:05Speaker 7: want somebody who just saw the headline say, dah, there
- 21:08Speaker 7: it is again. Trump's melting down. He's unstable, It's chaos.
- 21:15Speaker 7: And so by the midterms, they hope that they've collected
- 21:19Speaker 7: enough of those one percenters who are just reading the
- 21:24Speaker 7: headline on their smartphone feed to win congressional majority. Come
- 21:31Speaker 7: the midterms. It's classic with Donald Trump because they understand
- 21:36Speaker 7: that the average American doesn't have time to look past this.
- 21:41Speaker 7: And now in the world of AI, those headlines become
- 21:47Speaker 7: a bigger part of the narrative because artificial intelligence is
- 21:51Speaker 7: culling those headlines. And well, we watched what happened to
- 21:56Speaker 7: GROC when it started reading all the things on the
- 21:59Speaker 7: inner and what it started.
- 22:01Speaker 22: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for Planet Fitness,
- 22:05Speaker 22: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 22: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
- 22:11Speaker 22: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
- 22:13Speaker 22: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
- 22:16Speaker 22: super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
- 22:18Speaker 22: be you moving your body and doing what you already
- 22:20Speaker 22: love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't
- 22:24Speaker 22: just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout
- 22:27Speaker 22: routines with strength training as well. So we are super

- 28:21Speaker 7: open his notebook live I always, you know, as opposed
- 28:25Speaker 7: to all the other times he's on location. Is the
- 28:28Speaker 7: proper use of the term. At the PGA show in Orlando,
- 28:33Speaker 7: you think there's ever going to be a live show,
- 28:36Speaker 7: you know, if there's going to be a PGA show,
- 28:38Speaker 7: equal time, right.
- 28:40Speaker 27: Every time Live plays, there's a live show because that's
- 28:43Speaker 27: all they do is work short to play rock and
- 28:45Speaker 27: roll during Tito's during you know, during the rounds. Many
- 28:48Speaker 27: different than the PGA Tour seventy thirty annual. This is
- 28:51Speaker 27: a show that Joe years ago started when a bunch
- 28:55Speaker 27: of pros got together in Florida. They were on a
- 28:57Speaker 27: Florida circuit to come down and play try to make
- 28:59Speaker 27: a little side bunny, and they all just they brought
- 29:03Speaker 27: like clubs and balls and gloves and stuff and their
- 29:06Speaker 27: trunks of their cars and they all pulled into a
- 29:08Speaker 27: parking lot and they swapped stories and go, hey how
- 29:11Speaker 27: about these irons, Hey how about Tryvie, And so the
- 29:13Speaker 27: equipment guys got together.
- 29:15Speaker 7: Now it is ridiculous. It is ridiculous.
- 29:19Speaker 27: You know, yes, it's so overwhelming. I mean everything from
- 29:23Speaker 27: and I know I'm repeating myself, from Naked Lady T's
- 29:26Speaker 27: to you know, the next pair of shorts to headcovers
- 29:30Speaker 27: to you know whatever. I'll get to my bridgestone guy
- 29:33Speaker 27: here in a minute, because you're gonna love this. First
- 29:35Speaker 27: of all, the lead story from Baltimore course, Jesse Minter
- 29:38Speaker 27: has been hired as the head coach of the Ravens.
- 29:41Speaker 27: Just a great track record from him. Notre Dame in
- 29:44Speaker 27: turned in O six, he coached at Cincinnati, Indiana State,
- 29:48Speaker 27: Georgia State. He was with Jim Harbaugh the Ravens from
- 29:54Speaker 27: twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, and then Vandy was at Michigan.
- 29:57Speaker 27: He won a national title at Michigan, and then he's
- 29:59Speaker 27: been with the Chargers and Jim Moore. I'm sorry, John
- 30:03Speaker 27: Harbaugh in Baltimore. Jim Harbaugh back in with the Chargers
- 30:09Speaker 27: and so now he's moving back to Baltimore to be
- 30:12Speaker 27: the head coach. The only sound I could really find
- 30:14Speaker 27: was there's a little layer of music underneath during this interview.
- 30:18Speaker 27: But talking about the simplicity of defense, this guy is a.
- 30:22Speaker 28: Guru taking these concepts, trying to create really simple ways
- 30:26Speaker 28: to make them maybe look different week to week, and
- 30:30Speaker 28: in turn that, you know, let's the other team or
- 30:33Speaker 28: the general fan think wow, like I don't know how
- 30:36Speaker 28: they're able to do, you know, all the different things
- 30:38Speaker 28: that they're able to do. And for our guys, hopefully
- 30:40Speaker 28: it's it's layered in simplicity and it allows them to
- 30:44Speaker 28: play really fast because they understand conceptually what we're trying
- 30:48Speaker 28: to do.
- 30:49Speaker 27: So there you go. Could be a marketing slogan for
- 30:51Speaker 27: the Ravens, the Ravens twenty twenty six layered in simplicity.
- 30:55Speaker 27: You know, for Lamar Jackson, they probably need that.
- 30:57Speaker 7: Anyway, I'm not.
- 30:58Speaker 27: Saying that he's the you know, the sharpest knife in
- 31:01Speaker 27: the drawer, but I think there's still with some friction
- 31:03Speaker 27: between Coach Harbaugh and anyway, Jesse Minter gets Lamar Jackson
- 31:08Speaker 27: and he gets the Ravens job. Okay, yesterday at the show,
- 31:12Speaker 27: I had an opportunity to talk with Adam Rayberg, fourteen
- 31:16Speaker 27: years senior marketing guy with Bridgestone. Uh just want to
- 31:20Speaker 27: because there's there are a lot of things that I
- 31:22Speaker 27: enjoyed when I come at first of club guys and
- 31:26Speaker 27: the golf ball guys, because the talk of research and
- 31:30Speaker 27: development is so over the top.
- 31:32Speaker 7: And these guys, these guys are not golfers.
- 31:34Speaker 27: These guys are scientists, okay, and they've got a team
- 31:37Speaker 27: of scientists that just go into the whole thing of Uh,
- 31:41Speaker 27: let's come up with some so so Bridgestone's push is
- 31:44Speaker 27: a thing called Velo surge. So they found a material
- 31:48Speaker 27: that they could put in the middle of Yeah, they
- 31:53Speaker 27: could put in the middle of a golf ball to
- 31:54Speaker 27: make it better. Of course, all the golf ball people want,
- 31:57Speaker 27: you know, they want spend control distance and then and
- 32:00Speaker 27: you know they want a mantle, a good mantle, not mickey,
- 32:03Speaker 27: not fireplace, but the inner core, the outer courts, a
- 32:06Speaker 27: layer of materials that separates the outside.
- 32:08Speaker 7: To the inside.
- 32:10Speaker 27: All I want is the ball stay out of the water,
- 32:12Speaker 27: you know when I play, you know, just.
- 32:14Speaker 7: Or at least float on it when it goes there. Exactly.
- 32:16Speaker 27: So anyway, this Adam Raeberg, very deep. I met a
- 32:20Speaker 27: couple of his sionists. They had a cylinder like one
- 32:24Speaker 27: of those bank cylinders that you know, put your deposit
- 32:27Speaker 27: to the you know, to the front desk, what whatever,
- 32:29Speaker 27: one of those bank things, and it was filled with
- 32:31Speaker 27: this material that has some kind of like you know,
- 32:35Speaker 27: some inner core V six twelve thirty, you know, something
- 32:38Speaker 27: they developed and they gave it a number and a name.
- 32:41Speaker 17: Excitement is through the roof here at Bridgeton Golf and
- 32:44Speaker 17: it's due to this R and D material discovery at
- 32:47Speaker 17: the center of the U twenty twenty tour. V is
- 32:50Speaker 17: vlsurs a core mantle integration that's really driving all these
- 32:54Speaker 17: performance games. And due to this material discovery, we're seeing
- 32:57Speaker 17: a dramatic increase in MOI as well. So to sum
- 33:01Speaker 17: it up, Villa Starts really does two amazing things for
- 33:03Speaker 17: our golfers. One added ball speed due to this new
- 33:07Speaker 17: mantle material, and then two increase MI for straighter shots,
- 33:11Speaker 17: so longer and straighter an equation the brain trust was
- 33:14Speaker 17: really designed to solve.
- 33:15Speaker 27: There you go, so mois moments of inertia, which is
- 33:19Speaker 27: really describing me trying to get off the couch after
- 33:21Speaker 27: watching football for four hours. So anyway, well all that beans,
- 33:24Speaker 27: so Bridgestone did something else. Okay, Callaway came up with
- 33:27Speaker 27: the putting lines, the red and blue lines that you
- 33:31Speaker 27: could you know, when you get your ball in the green,
- 33:32Speaker 27: you can set you can putt and it just attracts
- 33:35Speaker 27: your you know, your putt and your line and what.
- 33:37Speaker 7: You're looking at.
- 33:38Speaker 27: Well, they Bridgestone developed what they call a visual system
- 33:42Speaker 27: and it's red, yellow, and green and it's like one
- 33:45Speaker 27: of those uh if you were taking a psychology to
- 33:48Speaker 27: a psychological exam and they put a green dot inside
- 33:52Speaker 27: inside a red line inside a green line, so you
- 33:56Speaker 27: can because they said that it separates an analytics thought
- 34:00Speaker 27: from athletic performance. The last thing I need is analytical
- 34:06Speaker 27: thought golfer. And so anyway, it's just a lot of fun,
- 34:11Speaker 27: I mean stuff that you know, because the the the
- 34:14Speaker 27: whole golf world is just through the roof now and
- 34:18Speaker 27: it's all about R and D. Which club you know,
- 34:20Speaker 27: how do they market it? The marketing of of everything,
- 34:24Speaker 27: the marketing of everything, clothing, headcovers, bags, just to think
- 34:30Speaker 27: of anything you can. And now they got pickle ball
- 34:32Speaker 27: involved because of out of clubs of course are setting
- 34:35Speaker 27: up pickle ball courts and trying to make the extra
- 34:37Speaker 27: dollar with.
- 34:38Speaker 7: You know, and when you say clubs, understands. And I
- 34:42Speaker 7: learned this because Mac taught it to me. This is
- 34:44Speaker 7: about doubt it. This is about the golf club in
- 34:48Speaker 7: your town, not not the clubs in the store, correct,
- 34:51Speaker 7: because they support the pros at all these golf courses
- 34:56Speaker 7: in California, all the way from California to Virginia.
- 35:00Speaker 27: Right, and so there there are about two there's over
- 35:04Speaker 27: two thousand vendors. Seriously, when you look at all the
- 35:08Speaker 27: all the and again there's small booths or small people
- 35:11Speaker 27: everything from sunscreen to sandals, to to drink bottles, to signs,
- 35:18Speaker 27: to h to to your range stuff, you know, your
- 35:22Speaker 27: stuff to pick up golf balls, to fake turf there.
- 35:26Speaker 27: I mean again, just think of think of something you
- 35:28Speaker 27: know that comes up with golf and and that's what
- 35:31Speaker 27: is here and that's why it really is fun.
- 35:33Speaker 7: You know, our friend of ours called you know, there
- 35:35Speaker 7: are several global events called norm busting events. And that's
- 35:40Speaker 7: a political or sociological discussion. But Mac, let me ask
- 35:44Speaker 7: you this. You know, when when range finder technology, when
- 35:48Speaker 7: finally you know, these these you know, map makers realized
- 35:51Speaker 7: selling maps was not going to work anymore because of Google,
- 35:55Speaker 7: and they started doing mappings of golf courses and you
- 35:58Speaker 7: could get your range finder and right and now now hell,
- 36:02Speaker 7: golf court cards come with them wired or that was
- 36:06Speaker 7: a that was a norm busting technology. Is there anything
- 36:10Speaker 7: like this or is it all? You know? Just oh,
- 36:12Speaker 7: I can get ten more yards out of this driver?
- 36:15Speaker 7: I can I can you know? Balance this putter veteric
- 36:19Speaker 7: because it seems most of the time all of these
- 36:21Speaker 7: things they work in the margins, they work in the
- 36:23Speaker 7: little bits. Yeah, we can innovate here and there, But
- 36:26Speaker 7: is there anything that's or anyone working on anything enormous
- 36:31Speaker 7: that will be a sea change in golf.
- 36:34Speaker 27: The GPS technology you bring up a great point. The
- 36:36Speaker 27: GPS technology is through the roof and and and then
- 36:40Speaker 27: and then the marketing side of that too, because once
- 36:42Speaker 27: they once you started to put a GPS in your hand,
- 36:45Speaker 27: and now they have watches. They have the boom boxes
- 36:47Speaker 27: that you put onto the golf carts with a magnet
- 36:49Speaker 27: that tells you, you know, front center, you know your
- 36:51Speaker 27: distances and everything. My rangefinder says you got no shot,
- 36:54Speaker 27: and I, you know, I just uh, I just put
- 36:56Speaker 27: it up there. And said, don't don't even think about it.
- 36:59Speaker 27: You know, so I got any.
- 37:00Speaker 7: Shakes lay and whatever lay up.
- 37:02Speaker 27: But the technology went to slope, and slope means h
- 37:07Speaker 27: the is the green elevated. You add ten more yards,
- 37:10Speaker 27: so it may give you one sixty five center, but
- 37:14Speaker 27: it gives you one seventy five slope. In other words,
- 37:17Speaker 27: don't pull you know, don't pull a five iron. You
- 37:20Speaker 27: better hit everything in your bag because you got wind
- 37:22Speaker 27: in your face and you know, so it's the GPS
- 37:27Speaker 27: technology is ridiculous.
- 37:29Speaker 7: Now yeah, it's through the roof.
- 37:30Speaker 27: So anyway, a couple of days here, we're going to
- 37:33Speaker 27: take part of Foster and Friends in a little over
- 37:36Speaker 27: an hour. H So anyway, it's gonna be fun. But
- 37:39Speaker 27: thank you for doing this today. You travel thousands of miles.
- 37:43Speaker 7: I drove sixty okay, you know, but you know what,
- 37:46Speaker 7: it's just everyone, you know, the amount of people that
- 37:48Speaker 7: play golf, you know, just you know, for recreation. UH
- 37:54Speaker 7: is important. So I appreciate it. Mac brought to you

- 40:33Speaker 24: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
- 40:37Speaker 24: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 40:42Speaker 24: the one for Newma coccle disease can protect adults from
- 40:44Speaker 24: illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:49Speaker 24: New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:53Speaker 24: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 24: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

- 44:11Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 44:16Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas and.
- 44:18Speaker 7: Charlotte's joining us from the Land of the Good for
- 44:26Speaker 7: America podcast. He is the host. He is Bob Good
- 44:31Speaker 7: and always check in and see how things are going there. Bob,
- 44:35Speaker 7: how are you doing this morning, sir?
- 44:37Speaker 20: Good morning, Joe doing what well?
- 44:39Speaker 7: Hope you are absolutely but gob smacked. And you know
- 44:45Speaker 7: how I feel about the folks who are practitioners of
- 44:49Speaker 7: my industry, and I'm pretty harsh on a lot of
- 44:51Speaker 7: them for the way they act. But you know, last
- 44:56Speaker 7: three days my inbox has been filled with stories of
- 44:59Speaker 7: people claiming that they were catfished by Abigail Spanberger when
- 45:03Speaker 7: she ran for governor, then they were willfully ignorant, because,
- 45:08Speaker 7: I mean, you and I spoke so many times about
- 45:11Speaker 7: your interactions with her in Congress, and now she's out here.
- 45:16Speaker 7: We've created a sanctuary state. We've announced that we're going
- 45:21Speaker 7: to tax. At some point, they're going to get to
- 45:24Speaker 7: the point where they're going to tax our tax payments,
- 45:27Speaker 7: but they're going to tax you on the accountant you
- 45:29Speaker 7: have to hire to pay your taxes, and on the
- 45:33Speaker 7: storage facilities for the documents that you need to keep
- 45:36Speaker 7: for your taxes. It is. It makes New York seem
- 45:41Speaker 7: like a conservative state in comparison, yet nobody seemed to
- 45:46Speaker 7: want to cover it except for you and me. It seems.
- 45:50Speaker 20: Yes, no one should be surprised by how radically liberal
- 45:54Speaker 20: leftist Abigail Spanberger is based on her voting record in Washington.
- 45:59Speaker 20: She supported the open border. She supported all of Biden's
- 46:02Speaker 20: massive inflationary spending. She certainly didn't stand up for law
- 46:08Speaker 20: and order and victims. She stood up for criminals. She
- 46:11Speaker 20: voted for the pro Act to take away right to work.
- 46:14Speaker 20: She voted for the right to Cheat Act to make
- 46:16Speaker 20: it easy for everybody to cheat in elections across the country.
- 46:21Speaker 20: And so it shouldn't be a surprise that she and
- 46:23Speaker 20: her Democrat allies are implementing Ralph Norman to Ralph Northam
- 46:27Speaker 20: two point zero here, and Virginia's are going to suffer.
- 46:30Speaker 20: They're going to suffer like it's a ninety percent Democrat state,
- 46:34Speaker 20: which is what they want to do in the congressional districts,
- 46:37Speaker 20: as you know. But they're massively increasing taxes, as you said,
- 46:41Speaker 20: they're increasing the minimum wage, They're making Virginia sanctuary state
- 46:44Speaker 20: for illegal aliens, They're increasing energy costs by wasting money
- 46:47Speaker 20: on wind and solar. They're going to reduce sentences for
- 46:51Speaker 20: violent criminals. And as we said, Gerrymander, the congressional districts
- 46:56Speaker 20: make it easier to cheat in federal election or excuse me,
- 46:58Speaker 20: in the elections in the country, in the Second Amendment,
- 47:01Speaker 20: codifying gay marriage and abortion into the Constitution and bringing
- 47:04Speaker 20: back DEI. Other than that, it's a moderate administration.
- 47:08Speaker 7: All that, But the press, I mean, it's I don't know,
- 47:13Speaker 7: I know some of them. It's just they want to
- 47:14Speaker 7: be seen as caring about people, and I find that
- 47:18Speaker 7: their depiction of what caring about it is true, and
- 47:21Speaker 7: then it extends you. You survived it for years in Congress.
- 47:25Speaker 7: I think your last year while as Chair of the
- 47:28Speaker 7: Freedom concuss the things that were said about what you
- 47:31Speaker 7: were doing in Congress as you battled with leadership to
- 47:35Speaker 7: make sure that Republicans had an opportunity to lead even
- 47:40Speaker 7: if they didn't have the majority, which again I don't
- 47:42Speaker 7: think they're trying to at all. Then all the way
- 47:46Speaker 7: through the President and how they depicted this Greenland scenario,
- 47:50Speaker 7: and everything was protest marches in the streets of Denmark,
- 47:55Speaker 7: the streets of Greenland, and then all of a sudden
- 47:58Speaker 7: it comes out, oh, that's not what was happening at all. Oops,
- 48:02Speaker 7: And nobody is being held to account for the lying
- 48:07Speaker 7: that they were doing in these press stories. Bob, how
- 48:10Speaker 7: do we fix that?
- 48:13Speaker 1: Well?
- 48:13Speaker 20: With respect to Greenland, it's cferitely been interesting to follow.
- 48:18Speaker 20: I was concerned, as many were, with what the President
- 48:21Speaker 20: was saying over over recent days, weeks, and months about
- 48:25Speaker 20: his intentions for Greenland, where he said, We're going to
- 48:28Speaker 20: get Greenland one way or another, whether they like it
- 48:30Speaker 20: or not. We're going to take it by force if
- 48:31Speaker 20: we have to, we will use military action if we
- 48:33Speaker 20: have to.
- 48:34Speaker 1: We hope not to.
- 48:36Speaker 20: That said, I support the strategic interest of President Trump
- 48:41Speaker 20: in the United States in Greenland. I think it's an
- 48:43Speaker 20: important thing for US where it's located, what it its
- 48:49Speaker 20: impact on national world security and national security, particularly as
- 48:53Speaker 20: we're concerned of course the resources that are that are
- 48:57Speaker 20: that are available there, the untapped precious minerals, the oil
- 49:01Speaker 20: deposits that are undapped there, and just its strategic location
- 49:05Speaker 20: north east of US and again on the Arctic Circle there.
- 49:10Speaker 20: And so some would say, okay, what was the big
- 49:13Speaker 20: reaction to what President Trump was doing and saying, gosh, look,
- 49:16Speaker 20: he didn't intend to do that. But it reminds me
- 49:20Speaker 20: Joe and I'll reach back in time a little bit
- 49:23Speaker 20: twenty six years ago with Y two K. You had
- 49:27Speaker 20: these two three four years of preparation and warnings about
- 49:31Speaker 20: how consequential it was going to be, and these people
- 49:34Speaker 20: all these efforts to mitigate that, to prevent that and
- 49:38Speaker 20: get ready for that and so forth. And then you
- 49:40Speaker 20: remember after New Year's two thousand, everybody said, well, gosh,
- 49:45Speaker 20: that wasn't a big deal. Why was there such a
- 49:47Speaker 20: big Well, the reason it wasn't a big deal. Was
- 49:49Speaker 20: because people worked so hard and prepared and abided by
- 49:54Speaker 20: the warnings, and companies remember y two K compliant and
- 49:58Speaker 20: so forth, and so if no one had responded or
- 50:02Speaker 20: pushed back or expressed concern, whether it was rarely this happens,
- 50:08Speaker 20: but some congressional Republicans, conservative world, conservative media, conservative pundits,
- 50:16Speaker 20: and our allies and so forth. I don't know what
- 50:18Speaker 20: would have been different. I will say that while we
- 50:21Speaker 20: don't know what the framework really is yet, we don't
- 50:25Speaker 20: really know much. President Trump says we'll find out in
- 50:28Speaker 20: a couple of weeks. But it seems like what we've
- 50:31Speaker 20: gotten might have been accomplished without threatening and insulting our allies,
- 50:38Speaker 20: if you will, well, our NATO allies at least. And
- 50:42Speaker 20: it seems as if we might have been able to
- 50:44Speaker 20: get what we're getting through making the case, through negotiation,
- 50:48Speaker 20: through diplomacy, through dialogue, and explaining, hey, this is a
- 50:52Speaker 20: dangerous situation. You guys can't defend it. Russia and China
- 50:55Speaker 20: or making their intentions known, They're increasing their presence. If
- 50:59Speaker 20: we don't do it now, how it's going to be
- 51:00Speaker 20: a problem in the future. Hey, we need to increase
- 51:02Speaker 20: our military based presence. We need some resources from the
- 51:05Speaker 20: mineral resources as in exchange for what we're doing and
- 51:08Speaker 20: so forth. It seems like maybe we could have gotten
- 51:11Speaker 20: that without you know, we do need allies as well.
- 51:17Speaker 7: And the point I was making is some of those
- 51:19Speaker 7: things that were attributed to President and Trump were actually
- 51:23Speaker 7: the questions asked. And one of the maddening things. I
- 51:26Speaker 7: love President Trump as the executive but one of the
- 51:30Speaker 7: things that frustrates me is he will answer the craziest
- 51:34Speaker 7: old question. Somebody in the press pool will say, well,
- 51:37Speaker 7: mister Trump, if they don't let you have this in Greenland,
- 51:41Speaker 7: would you use military force? And He'll say something like, well,
- 51:43Speaker 7: I mean, nothing's off the table, and the headline becomes
- 51:46Speaker 7: Trump threatens to invade Greenland, and then that goes to
- 51:51Speaker 7: Emmanuel Macrone who says, well, that could destroy NATO if
- 51:55Speaker 7: he invades Greenland. But the premise of the question, the
- 51:58Speaker 7: premise of the statement, actually begins with the reporter and
- 52:02Speaker 7: the question they asked, and instead of just blowing it
- 52:05Speaker 7: off saying that's a ridiculous question, he actually answers it.
- 52:09Speaker 7: And I think a lot of people that's I feel
- 52:14Speaker 7: like it consumes too much of my day when it happens.
- 52:18Speaker 7: But I just feel like an honest telling of what's
- 52:20Speaker 7: going on, like here in Charlottesville when he said there
- 52:23Speaker 7: were very fine people on both sides of the street
- 52:26Speaker 7: on August twelfth of twenty seventeen. You know, he was right,
- 52:31Speaker 7: and I appreciated him being right about that. But the
- 52:36Speaker 7: follow up on it is that it makes it. It
- 52:40Speaker 7: consumes a lot of people's time when these things happen.
- 52:45Speaker 7: I guess is what I'm getting at, and that's all
- 52:48Speaker 7: I want, is an honest telling of what President Trump.
- 52:51Speaker 7: My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 12: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:55Speaker 18: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
