• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We're not violating any laws.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting for.

  Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: Joe works at.
• 0:13
  Speaker 5: A steel mill.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: He's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 6: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
• 0:20
  Speaker 6: kid to school and on the way.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:27
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:30
  Speaker 8: He only aims to please you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: this morning. As the midterm elections loom large, I appreciate
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: this text message coming in. Joe, Joe, another Joe, writes in. Joe,
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: would a manager of any business with much work still
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: left to get done send home the employees and still
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: keep his job? Oops person's home with work still on
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: the table. I was taught by my dad that if
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: you started a job, you worked until it's finished. Oh, Joe,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: you know, that's what many of us, I'd still say
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: a majority, a lion's share of us were taught. Here's
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: the question. What is the job? So here's the thing
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: about Mike Johnson or any speaker of the U.S. House
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: of Representatives. Right now, as the House body is constituted,
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: he has dictatorial authority over any bills coming to the floor.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: If the U.S. House of Representatives votes on it, generally speaking,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: it's because Mike Johnson has permitted it. And Nancy Pelosi
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: wielded the same power. It's not that they invented it
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: for Mike Johnson. Is this something that you support? The
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: zombie cloture in the Senate, where you can just say, filibuster!
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: And once you've said that, and Chuck Schumer files the paperwork,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I guess, you're in filibuster, whether you're actually doing anything
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: or not. This is One of Mike Lee's points is
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: if you want a filibuster, filibuster. But they don't. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: so what you wind up with is on the news
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: consumption side, you think, oh, the House hasn't voted on it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Mike Johnson has only asked for so many votes. There's
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: plenty of stuff going through every committee out there. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: when they come to Mike Johnson, it just dies in
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: his office. because he is the sole arbiter of what
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: is going to come up for a vote or not
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: in the U.S. House of Representatives. And then, like I said,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: the Senate's got to... So should there be a constitutional
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: addressment within Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, since we're
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: talking about it, should there be an addressment regarding... basic
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: rules of order, the things that you have to do,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: and in the ways that you have to do them,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Congress to Congress. It's not like, hey, I was born
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: in 1963, and these are the driver's laws that I
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: get to use. But that's how Congress works. We'll get
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: into that a little bit further on this Constitution Day.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: But here are the first things that we're covering. Mark Carney,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Prime Minister of Canada, will address the European Parliament today,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: calling on the EU to let Canada into the European Union.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Quick check of a map, though some of the names
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: maybe have been changed to Lake America and Gulf America,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Canada still decidedly not in Europe. House of Representatives Wednesday
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: passed a package of sanctions against Russian officials and economic
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: mucky mucks in the name of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: The vote was 262 to 159. And now it heads
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: to President Trump's desk. Mike Johnson, after that, closed up
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: the House, sending lawmakers home to, quote, campaign for the midterms.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Thomas Massey, before the recess was called, said to the floor,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: we're calling off Congress and we're in the majority. I'm
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: here to try to stop a war. President Trump is expected,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: speaking of that war with Iran, expected to meet with
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Gulf leaders while at the UN General Assembly in New
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: York on Tuesday to discuss issues post-war strategy. OpenAI has
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: disclosed six reports of, quote, unexpected or concerning, unquote, behavior
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: in artificial intelligence models, calling what they were doing a misalignment.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Love the phrases. Federal Reserve corrected its misalignment. No, I
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: don't know. It raised its interest rate for the first
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: time since 2023, increasing the benchmark rate to 3.9% and
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: signaling that there was the possibility it could go as
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: high as 4.1%. This is the interest rate banks pay
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: to borrow money to lend to you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: U.S.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Stocks on the news of this dropped 600 points by
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: the close of trading yesterday. And three people in Los
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Angeles running nonprofits are accused of stealing $ 12 million in
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: federal taxpayer money that were targeted for homelessness and rehousing positions.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: Our friends at Mesa Verde Hemp have done it again.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you, you know, my wife every day. She's like,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: every day it gets better. It's therapeutic. It's not just
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: a mask of some pain. But they're going after them.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: They are, for some reason, in Colorado, where you'd think
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: they're all about this kind of stuff. They're going after
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: these CBD manufacturers, probably because the state gets a cut
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: of the THC sales. But find out more at MesaVertiHemp.com.

  Speaker 14: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 14: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 14: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 15: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 14: Your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all day dessert food
• 9:20
  Speaker 14: made into your favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: Oh my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 14: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Do you smell that?
• 9:32
  Speaker 14: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 14: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 14: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
• 9:48
  Speaker 14: And bring home so much.
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: Good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 14: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:41
  Speaker 16: Eat better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Get moving.
• 10:43

  Speaker 3: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: both legs in Vietnam.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: My victory was proving that a disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 12: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: generations get the benefits they've earned.

  Speaker 1: I'm CeCe.

  Speaker 18: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 17: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 17: first date?
• 11:56
  Speaker 19: Sure.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 18: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 20: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 20: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: Probably....
• 12:23
  Speaker 21: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 18: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 18: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 18: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 17: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 17: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Somebody loves their kid.
• 13:13
  Speaker 22: We're not violating any laws.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: So there ought to be a law.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: So in this country, one of the things that was
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: very controversial at the time, U.S. Constitution 1787, Articles of
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Confederation are a hot mess. And we decide we have
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: to come up with a rule book, a centralized set
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: of policies, but there are blind spots. And right now,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: two of them are massive in our public discourse. So
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: while I mention things and I get criticized for talking
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: about things like the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act, there are
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: substantive things that need to be in the U.S. constitutions.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: For example, in section one, the Establishment Clause, if you will,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Senate and a House of Representatives. Section 2. The House
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: year by the people of the several states, and the
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: No person shall be a representative who shall not gain
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: the age of 25 years. Faith and good, well-grounded, ethical
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: people are in... What was that? Was I having one
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: of those moments again? Representatives and 25 years and who
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: shall not have been elected be inhabited of that state
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: in which he shall be chosen. But you go through
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: sections two and three, four, the time and place manner,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Section 5, each house shall be the judge of elections, returns,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: and qualifications of its own major members, and a majority
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: of each shall constitute a quorum to do business, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: smaller numbers may adjourn from day to day and may
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members in
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: such a manner. Each house may determine the rules of
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and with
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member. Each house shall
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: keep a journal of its proceedings, and may in their
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: judgment require secrecy, and the yeas and nays of the
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: members of either house on a question shall, at the
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered into that journal.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Neither house during the session of Congress shall, without the
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: consent of another, adjourn for more than three days, nor
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: to any other place than that to which the two
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: houses shall be sitting. And it goes into bills raising revenue,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: lay and collect taxes in Section 8. That's where the
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: post office comes in. But do you see it right there?
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Each house may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: its members for disorderly behavior, and with a concurrence of two-thirds,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: expel a member.
• 17:19
  Speaker 23: Okay.
• 17:19
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Some of that, you know, perfectly fine. But one of
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: the things we're finding now is that each house can
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: come up with its own rules. The procedures of how
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: a bill gets passed down to, you know, the house changes. Changes.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Each time there's a new House, part of what the
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: next Congress will do is establish what those rules are.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Who gets to get what bill on the floor? What
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: are the standards by which you can execute a bill
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: to the floor without approval of the Speaker? How cloture
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: can be called in the Senate? These things are all
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: determined at the start of each new Congress. And there
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: will be a new Congress come, was it January 5th
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: of 2027. So what will that Congress decide? We never
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: talk about it, but this is the kind of thing that,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: so Mike Johnson has dictatorial control over his caucus. Bills
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: don't come to the floor unless the Speaker allows them to,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: regardless of what they pass through the House. Do you
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: like that? Or do you think that that should be
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: something that has a certain permanence to it? The Senate
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: can decide what cloture means each time they reorganize themselves.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: So they can basically write themselves get-out-of-jail-free cards, keeping them
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: from having to debate things like abortion rights or the
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Save America Act. You see what I'm saying is that
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: these are things that folks like Lisa Murkowski have made
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: it very clear they don't want to vote on. So
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: they have ways of making sure they never have to
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: vote on it. Doesn't sound very American, does it? Congress
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: also decides at its election how committee memberships are set up.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: This is how In 1995, Newt Gingrich was able to
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: institute a price list for chairs on various committees. And
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: in some cases, it was a spoils system where a
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: congressman in an important district would be given an important
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: position on a committee just to state his campaign contributors
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: and that kind of thing. or to encourage their campaign
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: contributors to give more, is that how you want committees
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: to be filled? Or should members of the House have
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: to politic for positions on committees? What if there was
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: a standard by which the speaker and the minority leader
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: would have to vet each candidate and they would be
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: voted on by the House before they gavel in part
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: of their preliminary sessions. This has been suggested several times
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: because farmers probably should serve on an ag committee. Salesmen
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: should probably be on commerce. You see what I'm getting at?
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Or maybe the farmers should be on commerce. But each
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: congressman would make their case saying, hey, I want to
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: be on Ways and Means and here's why. And then
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: before January 5th, the House would vote for those people in.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: But there needs to be a standard set of rules.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Let's see.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: If something costs less, but people are happier with it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 19: that sounds like something to look into. And that is MediShare.
• 22:09
  Speaker 19: Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to pay for health
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: care can save many families up to 500 bucks a month.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: And that is huge.
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:18
  Speaker 19: after making the switch to the member satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  Speaker 19: MediShare is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 19: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
• 22:28
  Speaker 19: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
• 22:32
  Speaker 19: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 22:37
  Speaker 19: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 22:40
  Speaker 19: of your healthcare.
• 22:41

  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: It is time to open Mac McDonald's Sports Notebook brought

  Speaker 5: to you by the Lunch Pail Foundation, helping kids get scholarships.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: That's how you win. That's what's important now. LunchPailDefense.com. Good morning,
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: Brother Mac. How are you doing, sir?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I would normally, and, you know, in the time
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: that we have together on this Thursday, you know, I
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: would have made a bigger deal out of the story
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: of Sam Levitt, who is the LSU quarterback who was
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: listed as doubtful yesterday, but the point spread did not
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: move with LSU at Ole Miss.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Didn't budge.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: So there's some kind of small upper body injury.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: So Lane Kiffin.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Listed him as doubtful for the Ole Miss game. And
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: people have just gone, you know, naturally, if Lane Kiffin,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you know, goes to the bathroom, there are going to
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: be headlines.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: So normally, I.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Would not sit here with our minutes that we have
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: every morning and give you a rundown of the New
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Mexico Open, a pro-am golf tournament.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: He played at.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Turtleback Mountain, and I would normally not talk about it. However,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: when you think about golf and what we've been through,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Ty Webb, Roy McAvoy, Happy Gilmore, Lonnie the Hawk Hawkins,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: that was a Will Ferrell guy.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: So if I said to you, did you have any
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: idea that a guy by the name of Duff Foreman
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: would be joining the broadcast with the other golf channel?
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: And you go, Duff Foreman, where's he from? Did he
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: go to Syracuse?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Is he a new golf channel hire?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Duff Foreman is an AI broadcast personality who joined Nota
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Begay and Ryan Burr live on screen to provide coverage
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of the New Mexico Open.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: 18, 452, the second longest par four on the card.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: This course doesn't hug you goodbye. Two full swings, no
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: place to hide. And on Wednesday afternoon, a scoreboard watching
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: every one of them.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Duff Foreman.
• 30:25
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Is a product of a company called gopher hole productions.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: He is, he is taught to interact naturally with human hosts,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: giving data driven insights into player strategy, swing mechanics, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: course management. Now the New Mexico, but as I said,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: it's a hundred thousand dollar purse and it was streamed digitally.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And so there was analysis with notable gay in, in,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: in the booth with this guy dressed, dressed in a
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: kilt and, A little blue cab driver, Tam O'Shanter hat,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and a good looking guy, big set job. And Duff,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take it a step further.
• 31:08
  Speaker 12: Percentage wise, what is the percentage of the top five
• 31:11
  Speaker 12: players that you have on winning the event?
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Now we are talking numbers.
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: Blake Tomlinson is leading the pack with.
• 31:18
  Speaker 25: A win probability of about 11%, and he has a
• 31:21
  Speaker 25: huge 34% chance to land in the top five.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, so naturally, naturally, on the heels of Joe Buck's
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: new $ 108 million extension, we're still in love with the
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: live announcer.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: We still, you know, don't think this is going to.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Duff wasted little time showing the shortcomings of
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: an AI booth guy. There were three second delays, a
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: couple of occasions. He talked over the guys in the booth.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: The limited time stuff appears to make it look like,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: you know, it just it's not clean. And so several,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: several people and analysts and, you know, media critics or
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: whatever jumped all over and go, whoa, whoa, whoa. This
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: is not good. Ryan Burr, in exchange, said, hey, Duff,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: why don't you take a quick look? Why don't you
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: take a break? It's a lot of work for you today.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Take a minute here. Get yourself hydrated. Maybe get a
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: granola bar. Duff answered him, I'll take a quick break
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to recharge my circuits, Ryan. I'll be right there and
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: ready to roll the moment you need some fire back
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: in the booth.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Moment you need some, so they trash talk, the AI
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: trash talks as well.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: But he took, but he, you know, so to give
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the viewers an analysis of Turtleback Mountain.
• 32:47
  Speaker 25: Dylan here at fourth at minus four under. Kyle Hoppin fifth,
• 32:51
  Speaker 25: minus three under. 21 mile an hour gusts and three
• 32:54
  Speaker 25: o'clock storms coming.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: The course talks back. Well, first off, if I was
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: critiquing the announcer, I would say you don't have to
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: say minus four under because grammatically that's then four over
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: if you're minus four. Yeah, the double negative. Right, exactly. Sure,
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: he's reading it off a spreadsheet in a computer program somewhere, so.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: You know, it says minus four under, which drives me
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: crazy on leaderboards anyway. Right, right. But here's the thing
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: about it. He doesn't sound natural. Oh, my God, no.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Not even close.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Not even close. None of them. I've listened to commercials.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: The videos of the pictures, like when I got the
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: AI-generated news clip of Donald Trump picking up AOC and
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: Zorhan Mamdani while they laughed at the 9-11 and throwing
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: them in a dumpster. I'm like, the graphical depictions are
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: getting very good where they can say, hey, take Mac
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: McDonald and Joe Thomas and animate them dancing the tango.
• 34:12
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: And it would look like us, but it wouldn't sound
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: like us. They can.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: You see all the, you see all the Instagram things
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: where you and your wife can become dancers and singers and,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: you know, for 45 bucks a month, you know, the
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: apps and I, and I get it and they're cute
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: and that's fun. And, and deaf daily would be great
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: for a, a video golf game update.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Uh, maybe the, uh, Oh, what's the big golf.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Arcade game that's played in every bar?
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Golf where you spin the thing.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's got a.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: Name, golf, and you see it in all of it. Anyway,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm talking about. Top golf or something. Yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: he would be good there.
• 34:48
  Speaker 25: Max Chan, second at minus five under. Ryan Sullivan, third,
• 34:52
  Speaker 25: also minus five under, split only by the tie break.
• 34:55
  Speaker 25: Dylan Heriot, fourth at minus four under.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: And why the accent? As a Scotsman, I don't sit here.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: And when I try to do a Scottish burr, it
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: sounds really bad. So I laddie, you know, outside of
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: maybe yelling. What are we.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Going to do if we have an AI guy covering
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference football? Are you going to give him a
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Marty Smith spin with the southern accent?
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: I think Ole Miss is the thing. Here's the thing, though.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: You mentioned Joe Buck and his massive salary. I don't
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: mind the idea because we get into such collusive behavior
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: in our industry. I won't go in. Let's say ESPN
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: called me and said, hey, would you go do the
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: pregame show for... ACC football, the studio show, I would say, well, sure,
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: I'll do it for $ 50, 000 a year. And I would
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: be done because we in this industry don't undercut one another,
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: even if it only would cost me $ 50, 000 to produce
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: a pregame show. I would have to produce it for
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: the same thing Joe Buck would ask for because that's
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: our union rules, our non-union union rules. But I think
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: that saying to someone, and what have I said for years, Mac?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: The gravy train is going to run out of drippings
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: at some point. And all these people who make all
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: this money whether it be the colleges, and we talked
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: about Ted Cruz and his stupid, you know, I can't
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: pass the SAVE Act, so I'll pass the SAVE College
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Football From Itself Act, and the universities and the broadcasters
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: and the players. At some point, the people who pay
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: for all this, whether it be the advertisers.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I had great conversations yesterday just thinking about that, and
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: everything you say is true. Can you imagine the Masters
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Golf Committee Addressing this subject, because a company approaches them
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: and says, we'd like to create a new Vern Lundquist
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: since he retired.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: And we'd like to put him on 16. Right. And
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: it'll only cost you 50 bucks an hour instead of
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: $ 50 million.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Can you see Jim Nance's reaction?
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: The guys on the massacres.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Well, sir, we don't believe a fake announcer that rivals
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Vern Lundquist.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: We don't feel that that's right.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: For the Masters. Well, I think AI announcers might be
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: allowed at the Masters before certain other ethnicities, but that's
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: just par for the course.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: College football hype tomorrow with no AI. It'll be me live,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: and that's just the way you've just got to live
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 37:56

• 38:05
  Speaker 26: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 26: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 26: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 26: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 26: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 26: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 26: heart disease is preventable, New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 26: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 26: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 26: heart disease by half over the past century and helped
• 38:39
  Speaker 26: people with heart disease live longer and more productive lives
• 38:42

  Speaker 22: actually three known gases.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 39:12
  Speaker 22: Mitch and nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made
• 39:17

  Speaker 9: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 9: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 9: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

• 42:11
  Speaker 23: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job,
• 42:15
  Speaker 23: not for extra spending money, but to help feed his

  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe T.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: Text message. Did you really just say that, Joe? I mean,
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: I don't know how long you've been listening to this program.
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: There are people out there who have been listening to
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: me on the radio for two decades who know damn
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: well I just said that. referring to my comment that
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: AI would be allowed at Augusta National ahead of a
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: few other social and economic stratas. Come on, what was it?
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: Was it 76, 75, the first time a black player
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: was in the Masters? And it was, you know, Can
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: a black player play at Augusta National? Well, he had
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: qualified for the Masters. It was Elder, right?
• 45:15
  Speaker 10: Lee Elder?
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: And then it was, I think, 1990 before Augusta National
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: allowed non-Caucasians to join the club. And even then, it
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: was still only men. Then Condoleezza Rice came along. And
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: what were they going to say to Condoleezza Rice? But
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: that was 2022? I mean, that wasn't all that long ago.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: When did Condoleezza Rice get her Augusta National on?
• 46:00
  Speaker 10: Oh, 2012.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, so I knew there was a two in there.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: So 2012.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: 2012.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Condoleezza Rice, you know, a woman. Now they grudgingly have
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: a Women's U.S. Open or Women's Masters at Augusta National
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: as well. It's a private club. I'm not saying it
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: doesn't have the position. They've certainly spent enough on lawyers
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: to keep them from having to. A private club. And
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: that was always the debate there. But all I was
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: saying is that there are conservative, quote-unquote, you know, white
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: linen folks at the Augusta National that might be okay
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: with AI as long as it's not ethnically, you know,
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: twinged AI calling the masters. That's all I was saying.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: Vern Lundquist, you know, AI, Vern Lundquist, that's fine. Good morning.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: You're on the air with Joe. First thing this morning,
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: who's this? Hey, Joe, it's Clark. Morning, Clark. How are you, sir? Yeah,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty good.
• 47:11
  Speaker 27: So on the AI announcer, Joe, about a week and
• 47:17
  Speaker 27: a half or two weeks ago, I saw a video
• 47:20
  Speaker 27: of a chimpanzee interviewing a gorilla and lion about an
• 47:27
  Speaker 27: encounter they had had.
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: You sure this wasn't a Disney movie?
• 47:31
  Speaker 24: No.
• 47:33
  Speaker 9: No.
• 47:34
  Speaker 27: I don't know who put this together or why. Probably
• 47:38
  Speaker 27: the same people that keep doing the.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Bigfoot Yeti stuff. Okay.
• 47:43
  Speaker 27: Joe, the facial expressions on the gorilla as he talked
• 47:47
  Speaker 27: about what had happened, they were brilliant. I mean, you're
• 47:53
  Speaker 27: watching it and like, who taught acting to a gorilla?
• 48:00
  Speaker 27: Because this is just, Fantastical.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: It's coming.
• 48:04
  Speaker 27: There's nothing we're going to do about it.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but they can't... See, this is the thing that AI...
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: AI is too good to... And I'm saying it this way.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: It's too good to be believably human. So the leaps
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: of synapse that a human's brain will make... And there's
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: a story I could tie into this about apparently... We
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: can replace brain cells now with skin cells. Save the
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: mouse and the brain replacement. We've come up with brain
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: transplants now, for mice at least. But AI, being a
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: computer-generated thought process, doesn't have those wild, tangential thought leaps
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: that A conversation certainly between you and me is replete with,
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: never mind, you know, some somewhat normal person. So you're
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: always going to be able to tell when there's a
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: robotics to it. I just don't see it being able
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: to put that kind of randomness. in unless it required
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: a database so enormous that it has to use up
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: the same space the computers that sent the Apollo 11
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: to the moon in a warehouse in Houston somewhere.
• 49:37
  Speaker 27: See, now, here's the thing. You're looking at this in
• 49:42
  Speaker 27: terms of consumption by you or I. To the TikTok
• 49:50
  Speaker 27: video game generation, they're not going to care. And they
• 49:57
  Speaker 27: will readily consume it. You know, the other thing that's
• 50:02
  Speaker 27: going to happen is the next time the poppy drops
• 50:07
  Speaker 27: the hammer on Paul Pelosi... It's not going to take
• 50:12
  Speaker 27: four days for them to come up with video of
• 50:14
  Speaker 27: him breaking into the house. They'll be able to do
• 50:17
  Speaker 27: that a lot quicker. It won't take four days to generate.
• 50:23
  Speaker 27: And then the next thing is if I'm a defense attorney,
• 50:28
  Speaker 27: I'm sorry, but your video evidence is of no value whatsoever.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: Well, of course. Admissibility is always that kind of thing.
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing about being a consumer of information.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: I'm right now trying to extol the idea to everyone
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: who's got a radio on, don't just take source material one.
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: You know, when the stuff shows up in your Facebook
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: or Instagram feed and it's coincidentally just reinforcing a belief
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: that you may have espoused to someone else, don't buy it.
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: Don't jump in with it right away because it's just
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: trying to corner you on something, everything, you know, question everything,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: dig into everything. We need printed material that can't be changed, uh,
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: for spurious reasons, uh, on a whim. We need, this
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: is why you need hard copies of everything. You can't
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: just say, we're going to upload it all to the
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: cloud or the clod. Uh, do you see what I'm
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: getting at?
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: No.
• 51:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I do.
• 51:38
  Speaker 27: Um, We're headed to a brave new world, and you
• 51:42
  Speaker 27: know what? You and I are on a roller coaster,
• 51:45
  Speaker 27: and if there's a steering wheel, it ain't making the
• 51:49
  Speaker 27: wheels turn.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: But this is also, to me, because this is just
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: computer software, it's programmed by someone. Oh, yeah, yeah, no,
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: it's not.
• 52:02
  Speaker 27: There's nothing artificial about any of this intelligence. Let's call
• 52:06
  Speaker 27: it contrived intelligence.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: How about that? Machine thinking, if you will. But somebody
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: has to hit start on the algorithm. Somebody has to say,
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: here are the parameters. OpenAI just issued this. Well, we've
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: watched six different instances of concerning behavior. Yeah, who wrote
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: the code for the software that did the concern? Because
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: I'll bet you they themselves have concerning behavior. in their world. Anyway, Clark,
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: good stuff, my friend. Anything else for us? Because we've
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: got to run to the news here. No, it's all good.
• 52:43
  Speaker 27: It's coming our way.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: No, we just got to keep it. Oh, you caught me.
• 52:51
  Speaker 26: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 26: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 26: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 26: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 26: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 26: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 26: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 26: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 26: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 26: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 26: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 26: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 26: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 26: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
• 53:38
  Speaker 14: And Dr.
• 53:39
