Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: If everybody hated me, why is everybody putting my face

- 0:10Speaker 4: Jeword said, steal metem.
- 0:13Speaker 5: You have a day at least for work.

- 0:32Speaker 5: Let you, Joe, thank you for letting me be of
- 0:35Speaker 5: service to you. This is the program that tells you
- 0:41Speaker 5: what went on last night. We'll give you our analysis
- 0:45Speaker 5: of what went on last night, but mostly I want
- 0:47Speaker 5: to hear how it's impacting you where you are. I
- 0:50Speaker 5: don't know if you've seen the video. Kareem just saw
- 0:54Speaker 5: the uh the biggest I guess, the most pervasive Iranian
- 0:59Speaker 5: AI that's been created so far, and it's it's but
- 1:07Speaker 5: it's all the more recent to go after Lego. How
- 1:13Speaker 5: dare you Lego? So they've weaponized Lego against us and
- 1:17Speaker 5: the big video that they're doing. But they've got hundreds
- 1:21Speaker 5: of these memes, short ones, long ones, ones that climb
- 1:25Speaker 5: on rocks, and they're out there sharing them in social
- 1:31Speaker 5: media putting them into your social media feeds. It's it's AI,
- 1:37Speaker 5: but AI with legos is pretty safe. You don't have
- 1:39Speaker 5: to worry about somebody's knees bending in the wrong direction.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Uh there. And it's all about Trump doing this just
- 1:46Speaker 5: because the Jews told him to. Everything is He's planting
- 1:51Speaker 5: Israeli flags on everything, and the American soldiers are crying,
- 1:56Speaker 5: and the piles of piles of American cast it's as
- 2:01Speaker 5: Trump stands with Benjamin Nett and Yahoo under it. It's it.
- 2:05Speaker 5: It's very for AI. I'm no expert on AI, but
- 2:10Speaker 5: it's not badly done. Uh there. This this one from
- 2:16Speaker 5: Mark who writes in how is it that these people
- 2:21Speaker 5: even have the Internet to work on? To use these?
- 2:25Speaker 5: Can't we shut down chat GPT in Iran? I don't
- 2:29Speaker 5: know if they have some Iranian version of chat GPT
- 2:34Speaker 5: or anthropic And maybe this is just to tie too
- 2:39Speaker 5: many news stories together in a bundle for you, But
- 2:44Speaker 5: maybe this is anthropic. This is Claude saying, Okay, fine,
- 2:48Speaker 5: you won't let me run your pentagon, I'm gonna go
- 2:51Speaker 5: to Tehran and I'm gonna Maybe maybe Claude is a
- 2:55Speaker 5: double agent. Maybe that's why anthropic wasn't allowed into the
- 2:59Speaker 5: Pentagon On folks queuing up on the phone, Hang on,
- 3:05Speaker 5: We're going to tell everyone what went on and then
- 3:07Speaker 5: we can discuss when we get back from it. Pro
- 3:10Speaker 5: Iranian groups have been using artificial intelligence, we said, to
- 3:14Speaker 5: create Internet memes to shape the narrative. According to Neil
- 3:19Speaker 5: driver Ai, researcher at the University of Cambridge, he said
- 3:23Speaker 5: their goal is to sow enough discontent with the conflict
- 3:27Speaker 5: to eventually force the West to cave in. Several European
- 3:32Speaker 5: diplomats have already apparently been watching too many memes and
- 3:36Speaker 5: they're pulling support, saying they're worried that their countries are
- 3:39Speaker 5: going to pay a high bill in terms of costs
- 3:43Speaker 5: of living, electricity, motor fuels because of the Hormuz straight closures,
- 3:51Speaker 5: minds that could be put there by Iran, and one
- 3:55Speaker 5: of their memes had a ship putting mines in the
- 3:58Speaker 5: strait of horm Moves. Vice President j D. Vance, despite
- 4:03Speaker 5: being called by the leaders of the Democratic Party to
- 4:07Speaker 5: invoke the twenty fifth Amendment, is heading off to Islamabad,
- 4:11Speaker 5: where he, along with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, will
- 4:15Speaker 5: lead their delegation in the first sit down with Iran
- 4:18Speaker 5: since the missiles started dropping. Israel has said it's killed
- 4:22Speaker 5: the nephew of Naim Kassem, the leader of the Iranian
- 4:26Speaker 5: backed Lebanese group Hezbolah, in a strike on Beirut overnight.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Didn't give details as to what that does to Hezbolah,
- 4:34Speaker 5: but it probably makes their leadership a little salty. Robert F.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Kennedy Junior is launching a new podcast called The Secretary
- 4:44Speaker 5: Kennedy Podcast. We're going to name the names of the
- 4:47Speaker 5: forces that obstruct the paths to good public health. House
- 4:53Speaker 5: Democrats will be meeting on Friday to talk about how
- 4:57Speaker 5: they're going to move forward in pressuring the cabinet and
- 5:01Speaker 5: the Vice president to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment, including
- 5:05Speaker 5: suggesting that JD. Vance choose Chris Murphy, Senator from Connecticut
- 5:12Speaker 5: as his vice president. Pam Bondi may have been given
- 5:16Speaker 5: a hall pass instead of a pink slip by being
- 5:20Speaker 5: fired and no longer Attorney General, she is not going
- 5:23Speaker 5: to have to testify before Congress next week. Jessica Collins,
- 5:28Speaker 5: spokeswoman for the House Oversight Committee, said, since she is
- 5:32Speaker 5: no longer Attorney General and we subpoenaed her in her
- 5:36Speaker 5: capacity as Attorney General. President Trump held a closed door
- 5:41Speaker 5: meeting with NATO Chief Mark Route and then posted to
- 5:44Speaker 5: social media NATO wasn't there when we needed them, and
- 5:47Speaker 5: they won't be there when we need them again. And
- 5:51Speaker 5: a federal appeals court declined to block the Pentagon's national
- 5:55Speaker 5: security blacklisting of the AI company Anthropic for now, and
- 6:01Speaker 5: those are our first things, not entirely Unlike mel Brooks

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

- 10:15Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

- 10:24Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 16: changes or medication. Listen. The reason so many die is

- 13:32Speaker 5: This email comes in on the news of the day.
- 13:36Speaker 5: Now this makes all the sense in the world rights, Karen,
- 13:40Speaker 5: I presume that's you know set. My favorite Karen story
- 13:45Speaker 5: is there was a customer service manager at the local
- 13:48Speaker 5: grocery store in my hometown whose name was Karen. And
- 13:52Speaker 5: I went up to her and I said that there's
- 13:55Speaker 5: irony right there, and she goes, I know, I know,
- 13:58Speaker 5: the poor girl has to be with customer complaints all
- 14:01Speaker 5: day and her name is Karen. But Karen writes in
- 14:04Speaker 5: so this explains Tucker Carlson quite a lot.
- 14:07Speaker 3: To meet Joe.
- 14:08Speaker 5: He's just an Iranian generated meme. I mean, it's not
- 14:14Speaker 5: just dismiss somebody saying, hey, we shouldn't go to war.
- 14:19Speaker 5: That is not the implication I want you to get.
- 14:23Speaker 5: War is not something to try for. But it be
- 14:27Speaker 5: pretty clear it seemed like President Trump, more so than
- 14:30Speaker 5: anyone else in the past, had tried to get Iran
- 14:34Speaker 5: to the negotiating table before the missiles started launching. And
- 14:39Speaker 5: you think, go back through the timeline unless it's been
- 14:42Speaker 5: scrubbed from the interwebs. Let me get to you and
- 14:45Speaker 5: your thoughts and dreams and how the news is impacting
- 14:48Speaker 5: you near your bunker. Good morning, You're on the air
- 14:52Speaker 5: with Joe. First thing this morning, who's this.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Good morning, Joe, It's Joel.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Oh, good morning, Joel. How are you doing out in Arizona.
- 14:58Speaker 5: How is Arizona treating? Was it a week now? You've
- 15:01Speaker 5: lived there? With two weeks?
- 15:03Speaker 2: I've been there about nine today be nine days.
- 15:07Speaker 5: Okay, that's yea doing all right?
- 15:11Speaker 22: It's good.
- 15:11Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 15:12Speaker 2: I'm just kind of learning to get around a little bit.
- 15:15Speaker 2: And I don't haven't got on the highways, but local
- 15:19Speaker 2: roads are crowded too, because they still have snowbirds here too,
- 15:22Speaker 2: from like Minnesota, Washington State.
- 15:25Speaker 5: That's true that, you know, we forget that that it
- 15:28Speaker 5: hits in Arizona. Uh, they're pretty hard. I don't know
- 15:31Speaker 5: if it's like Dallas. I thought I knew how to
- 15:33Speaker 5: drive on highways until until I went to Dallas. Woolf
- 15:39Speaker 5: you know. And I've read lots of stories about the
- 15:41Speaker 5: flyovers and all the apparently the tallest flyover in the
- 15:45Speaker 5: world is in Dallas and this interchange for like six
- 15:48Speaker 5: different highways and it's ten stories tall.
- 15:52Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 15:52Speaker 23: I was.
- 15:53Speaker 5: I was in the suburbs out there in Green I
- 15:56Speaker 5: was at grape Vine and we must have gone past
- 16:03Speaker 5: seven or eight just these multiple interchange flyovers, and you
- 16:08Speaker 5: know you got to go aways if you miss a turn.
- 16:10Speaker 5: It's not like you can get off the next exit
- 16:12Speaker 5: and hang a left and come back the other way.
- 16:15Speaker 5: You've got to go five miles down the road to
- 16:18Speaker 5: find the next flyover to get turned back around in
- 16:22Speaker 5: any event, So what's on your mind this morning?
- 16:25Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people don't think of things like this,
- 16:28Speaker 2: but the Democrats and the Republicans do it. But it
- 16:31Speaker 2: depends how you use it. And what I'm saying is props.
- 16:35Speaker 2: And also you got to think about a lot of
- 16:38Speaker 2: things too. A lot of people in our in our
- 16:40Speaker 2: Senate and our Congress are lawyers, right, so they're always
- 16:44Speaker 2: going to try to play their case or to adjudicate
- 16:49Speaker 2: their case. And and so when things happen to President Trump, yes,
- 16:55Speaker 2: he uses props too. He's a good person who understands
- 16:59Speaker 2: how to use the law and how to have the
- 17:02Speaker 2: law kind of right at the edge of where he
- 17:05Speaker 2: needs to do things. And he also uses props in
- 17:08Speaker 2: the sense that backlash against the props and memes that
- 17:12Speaker 2: the Democrats use, and they don't like that. And we
- 17:16Speaker 2: also have world powers that are fighting the Republicans, and
- 17:21Speaker 2: we would say independents and people who want to stay constitutional.
- 17:26Speaker 2: But the Democrats always try to do things counter of
- 17:30Speaker 2: what they say, like they'll say one thing and then
- 17:33Speaker 2: do another. And we also have some Republicans that are
- 17:36Speaker 2: doing that. Yeah, and social media and the left media
- 17:40Speaker 2: don't really help. And then of course what we call
- 17:43Speaker 2: the rhino Republicans.
- 17:46Speaker 5: But the Fabian Republicans. So I'm going to be scholarly
- 17:49Speaker 5: about this. They're Fabian Republicans just like the they're Fabian socialists.
- 17:54Speaker 5: They just happen to be members of the Republican Party.
- 17:57Speaker 5: And they start out with the government can be the
- 17:59Speaker 5: answer to our problems, and that's the original Conceit is
- 18:04Speaker 5: that if they manage it. Lindsey Graham is a great
- 18:08Speaker 5: example of this. Lindsey Graham would be perfectly fine if
- 18:11Speaker 5: government ran every little aspect of your life, as long
- 18:15Speaker 5: as it was run by Republicans. He would say, that's
- 18:18Speaker 5: a win for us. Sorry, Lindsey, not sorry, Really, he's wrong.
- 18:28Speaker 2: When I left Florida, there was a new bill on
- 18:32Speaker 2: smoking right and it was put out by Republicans, and
- 18:37Speaker 2: the bill was you can you can't smoke cigarettes out
- 18:40Speaker 2: in the open, you can't smoke medical marijuana out in
- 18:42Speaker 2: the open, but on the beaches you can smoke cigars
- 18:47Speaker 2: because they're biodegradable.
- 18:49Speaker 5: What And that was a It's the thing that baffles me.
- 18:53Speaker 5: And this is what feeds my theory about the fabians
- 18:56Speaker 5: and in both political parties, because Texas is the same way.
- 19:01Speaker 5: Texas's General Assembly are full of these, you know, in
- 19:06Speaker 5: calcitrant Republicans who won't go along with anything. They are
- 19:11Speaker 5: constantly trying to reregulate things that their voters want them
- 19:16Speaker 5: to deregulate. And see you wind up with this miss
- 19:20Speaker 5: miss mash that I think is frustrating for folks like
- 19:24Speaker 5: you and me. I'm just looking at it saying does
- 19:27Speaker 5: it does it protect my god given rights?
- 19:30Speaker 10: Well?
- 19:30Speaker 5: And that's when you get the Republicans sort of lean
- 19:33Speaker 5: back and like, well, you can't yell fire in a
- 19:36Speaker 5: crowded movie theater. Damn sure right I can, and especially
- 19:41Speaker 5: if there is a fire in the crowded movie theater,
- 19:45Speaker 5: there is nothing in the Don't get me started on
- 19:48Speaker 5: what these Republicans try to act like reasonable regulations on
- 19:52Speaker 5: your god given rights are, because it's it is a
- 19:58Speaker 5: bigger problem than Haki Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.
- 20:02Speaker 2: It reminds me of a like a chicken coop, right
- 20:06Speaker 2: where all the chickens are clucking and making noise. But
- 20:10Speaker 2: that noise is only good if it's your farm. But
- 20:13Speaker 2: if the farm is next to where you live, then
- 20:15Speaker 2: it's not good. You know, it's just it's just it.
- 20:20Speaker 2: I think, if there's going to be equality in things
- 20:23Speaker 2: and laws that make sense, which which I think what
- 20:27Speaker 2: President Trump is trying to do with the world with
- 20:30Speaker 2: we're trying to understand oil and trying to understand energy
- 20:35Speaker 2: and freedoms. It We're we're at a point where a
- 20:40Speaker 2: lot of Europe is being silenced because of Islamic takeover,
- 20:45Speaker 2: and then you have you also have socialism, and we're
- 20:50Speaker 2: trying to get rid of all that stuff. We're trying
- 20:52Speaker 2: to clear out the clutter. And yet the Democrats want
- 20:55Speaker 2: that because it's it's going to help their ability and
- 20:59Speaker 2: the and use their props to try to destroy what's
- 21:03Speaker 2: happening for the good because they don't really care about
- 21:06Speaker 2: the American people. They care about their own agenda and
- 21:09Speaker 2: their own political party because they want to be self protected.
- 21:13Speaker 2: They want to be encapsulated so nobody can harm them
- 21:16Speaker 2: or hurt their interests. I mean, look at Nancy Pelosi.
- 21:19Speaker 2: How much money did she make?
- 21:21Speaker 19: Well?
- 21:21Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, the amount of money Nancy Pelosi
- 21:24Speaker 5: made pales to the amount of money that she is
- 21:27Speaker 5: connected to making for other people, which I think is
- 21:30Speaker 5: your point if I followed you correctly, Because if Nancy
- 21:34Speaker 5: has tens of millions of dollars, how much has she
- 21:37Speaker 5: made for her overlords who helped her get into office
- 21:41Speaker 5: so that she could you know, hook a brother up.
- 21:44Speaker 5: As they used to say in my neighborhood. I've got
- 21:46Speaker 5: the news coming up here, Joel. Good to catch up
- 21:48Speaker 5: with you. My friend hug a cactus and we'll talk
- 21:51Speaker 5: to you in the morning, all right, thanks? Four three
- 21:54Speaker 5: four no, no, no, please, Joe Thomas, is you know,
- 21:57Speaker 5: not suggesting people go around hugging cactuses? Please?
- 22:01Speaker 24: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
- 22:05Speaker 24: with it, that sounds like something to look into.
- 22:07Speaker 3: And that is meta share.
- 22:09Speaker 24: Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to pay for
- 22:11Speaker 24: healthcare can save many families up to five hundred bucks
- 22:14Speaker 24: a month, and that is huge, But it's also true
- 22:16Speaker 24: that people are way more satisfied after making the switch too.
- 22:19Speaker 24: The member's satisfaction rate for Meta Share is double that
- 22:23Speaker 24: of the typical health insurance plan. Double Meta Share works too.
- 22:26Speaker 24: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
- 22:29Speaker 24: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. People love
- 22:32Speaker 24: having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah,
- 22:36Speaker 24: really you can save a ton and like it better.

- 28:21Speaker 5: Time for our sports notebook segment. And a man who
- 28:24Speaker 5: could never ever ever be mistaken for an internet meme
- 28:28Speaker 5: created by Iranians. He is mac McDonald. Good to see
- 28:32Speaker 5: my friend. How are you, sir?
- 28:34Speaker 10: Now? With all this skin on the top of my head?
- 28:36Speaker 10: Are you kidding the way?
- 28:39Speaker 5: Although the rendering might be easier, I'm not well.
- 28:41Speaker 10: That's true. That's true. AI has already already proven that
- 28:45Speaker 10: ninetieth edition to the Master's Teen I have a great
- 28:48Speaker 10: story for you. You know, I could. I could play
- 28:52Speaker 10: Speith and Justin Thomas and Scheffler and all these guys,
- 28:55Speaker 10: John Rahm and all these guys talking about firm and
- 28:57Speaker 10: fast and blah blah blah blah blah. No, I have
- 28:59Speaker 10: a much much better story this morning. It's entitled from
- 29:04Speaker 10: Patron to Participant. Look out for Brandon Holtz. He is
- 29:08Speaker 10: a thirty nine year old Bloomington, Illinois real estate agent
- 29:12Speaker 10: who has been a patron since O four. His father
- 29:15Speaker 10: got in a lifetime ticket lottery and one and his
- 29:21Speaker 10: father looks like he just stepped out of the Leonard
- 29:23Speaker 10: skinnerd band, by the way, so you can anyway. So
- 29:27Speaker 10: he's the father of two. He is married, and he
- 29:30Speaker 10: was a heck of a basketball player at Illinois State.
- 29:32Speaker 10: You know, he grew up in Illinois and he played
- 29:35Speaker 10: Illinois State. He did not play golf, but once he
- 29:38Speaker 10: got downe with he scored sixty eight points in a game.
- 29:40Speaker 10: He was a heck of a three point shooter. So
- 29:42Speaker 10: once he graduated, though, he turned pro in golf and
- 29:45Speaker 10: he traveled four years on the Mini Tours, which is
- 29:47Speaker 10: just a life of hell. You're talking about two star hotels,
- 29:51Speaker 10: you're talking about bad scrambled eggs in the morning.
- 29:53Speaker 23: I mean, you know so.
- 29:55Speaker 10: But he just wasn't making the way. The results weren't there,
- 29:57Speaker 10: and so he was playing with all those buddies and
- 30:01Speaker 10: taking me and they said, regain your amateur status and
- 30:04Speaker 10: go out and play. So he did. He started to
- 30:08Speaker 10: play all these amateur events all over the country and
- 30:12Speaker 10: in twenty twenty five he regained his amateur status and
- 30:15Speaker 10: won the forty fourth minute. I'm at Troon Country Club
- 30:19Speaker 10: in Scottsdale. Not a bad way to begin another golf career.
- 30:25Speaker 1: You know, I filled my bucket for basketball. I filled
- 30:27Speaker 1: it with the professional golf. And now it's like, okay,
- 30:30Speaker 1: well I can still play. So what I don't have
- 30:33Speaker 1: anything else to play and if I'm going to continue this,
- 30:35Speaker 1: you know, professional, So let's get my amateur status back
- 30:39Speaker 1: and let's play in these local events and more so,
- 30:41Speaker 1: just to you know, talk some crap to my boys.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I want to beat their butt.
- 30:46Speaker 10: After all, it is about talking back.
- 30:48Speaker 5: Okay, so you can do that, I mean some Yeah,
- 30:51Speaker 5: there's about a million basketball players right now saying can
- 30:54Speaker 5: you do that?
- 30:55Speaker 2: Can you read?
- 30:56Speaker 19: Right?
- 30:57Speaker 10: So his father, Jeff, who won the lifetime badge and
- 31:01Speaker 10: Augusta as I said, was he told Brandy. He says,
- 31:04Speaker 10: all right, you qualified for the Masters and the US Open.
- 31:08Speaker 10: He says, I'm gonna find you on a cat a
- 31:10Speaker 10: caddy and the he caddied for him in the mid end,
- 31:14Speaker 10: and the whole family said, no way, no way, are
- 31:19Speaker 10: you going to not caddy for your son and Augustina.
- 31:22Speaker 2: You are going to be my caddy.
- 31:24Speaker 1: And Liz says, hell, no, Grandpa, You're the caddy.
- 31:27Speaker 3: You're the only one that can calm him down. He
- 31:29Speaker 3: listens to you, It talks to you. You can make
- 31:32Speaker 3: things light.
- 31:33Speaker 10: It's my job done.
- 31:35Speaker 3: Tell him no, it breaks two inches versus one inch
- 31:38Speaker 3: on that putt.
- 31:38Speaker 1: No, my job is to hey, keep it light, keep
- 31:41Speaker 1: it hey, look around, enjoy this.
- 31:44Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 31:44Speaker 12: So he doesn't.
- 31:45Speaker 10: He doesn't tell Brandy anything about golf, and he just
- 31:48Speaker 10: tries to calm him down a little bit. So with
- 31:50Speaker 10: all that being said, Brandon thinks that there is a
- 31:54Speaker 10: reason he's he's in Augusta and and teeing it up
- 31:58Speaker 10: and thinks he can play. Okay, he hits it a
- 32:00Speaker 10: long way, but he's not sure his real reason of
- 32:04Speaker 10: being in the ninetieth Masters.
- 32:06Speaker 1: I don't really know what my reason is yet. I
- 32:08Speaker 1: think the story is a reason for a lot of
- 32:10Speaker 1: people who are continuing, you know, the journey that you
- 32:13Speaker 1: know I'm on, that they want to do that thirty seven,
- 32:16Speaker 1: that thirty five year old that you know, maybe gave
- 32:19Speaker 1: up but had the ability try it again.
- 32:21Speaker 10: Man, you know, so he's going to be a name
- 32:23Speaker 10: to watch because there there was a study in one
- 32:26Speaker 10: of the pros was asked, if you took a fourteen handicap,
- 32:29Speaker 10: all right, if you took a guy who's a fourteen
- 32:32Speaker 10: and put the ball on the edge of the green
- 32:34Speaker 10: on every hole, he didn't have to tee off. He
- 32:36Speaker 10: didn't put the ball on the edge of the green.
- 32:39Speaker 10: This one press that there's no way he could shoot
- 32:42Speaker 10: his camp in Augusta. It's that difficult. The greens are
- 32:46Speaker 10: that difficult. But then of course the press wanted to know,
- 32:49Speaker 10: and all the all the stories he did, all the
- 32:51Speaker 10: TV interviews he did. Okay, what is your Champions dinner
- 32:55Speaker 10: going to be like on Tuesday night? As you get
- 32:58Speaker 10: ready to play the ninetieth edition of The Masters?
- 33:02Speaker 1: Oh man, people have asked me this. I love stuff,
- 33:05Speaker 1: CRSs pizza. I don't know if Stuff Crest Pizza will
- 33:07Speaker 1: make that list, but man, I could definitely get down
- 33:10Speaker 1: on Stuff Crust Pizza.
- 33:11Speaker 10: There got his sponsor right now. The I know so
- 33:15Speaker 10: much for the Elk Sliders and the Rock shrim for
- 33:19Speaker 10: for Brandon Holtz, but at least he's going to be
- 33:21Speaker 10: somebody to watch today and it should be fun. So anyway,
- 33:26Speaker 10: we're getting ready right now for the first tea time
- 33:28Speaker 10: and Tom Watson and Jack Nicholas, Gary Player, they're their
- 33:32Speaker 10: honorary starters. So, uh, seven forty is the first time,
- 33:35Speaker 10: So we are getting ready to tee it up in
- 33:37Speaker 10: about thirty seconds.
- 33:39Speaker 12: Uh.
- 33:39Speaker 10: Scottie Scheffler is at one today, speath Koepka, Justin Rose
- 33:44Speaker 10: I start at one twenty, John Ram one to eight rowing.
- 33:47Speaker 10: McElroy starts his day at ten thirty one. So and
- 33:51Speaker 10: here here's the thing. The forecast, which is really strange.
- 33:54Speaker 10: The forecast for four days is near perfect no rain.
- 33:57Speaker 10: But this is the great thing about the Masters. They
- 33:59Speaker 10: can change the course every day the engineering. Now it sets.
- 34:01Speaker 10: They've got that subair system that a lot of college
- 34:04Speaker 10: football stadiums use and they could so if there's no rain,
- 34:08Speaker 10: they can add moisture.
- 34:10Speaker 12: Uh.
- 34:10Speaker 10: To the to the fairways. Yeah, no, sure, it's built.
- 34:15Speaker 10: The subair system and all the fairways built to take
- 34:18Speaker 10: moisture away. So if they had a deluge of rain,
- 34:21Speaker 10: they can get the course ready to play and you know,
- 34:24Speaker 10: an hour. But the subsystem also will add if they
- 34:28Speaker 10: feel it's a joke. In other words, it fits because
- 34:31Speaker 10: it's forecasts at high seventies today eighty five over the
- 34:35Speaker 10: weekend in augusta no rain in the forecast, and the
- 34:38Speaker 10: wind is blowing right now at fifteen to twenty, so
- 34:41Speaker 10: the course is gonna dry. It's good. It could be
- 34:44Speaker 10: almost unplayable. It could be it we could get to
- 34:46Speaker 10: the point, would I know, as Jordan Speed said, if
- 34:51Speaker 10: you don't hit the fairway, you may have no chance
- 34:53Speaker 10: of keeping the ball on the green. That's how tough
- 34:56Speaker 10: it's gonna be. So stop that that's I think half
- 34:59Speaker 10: of No. Yeah, eighty three.
- 35:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to see somebody break a hundred like
- 35:06Speaker 5: I do.
- 35:07Speaker 10: You know, Yeah, you want to see Scotti Scheffler shoot
- 35:10Speaker 10: eighty four opening around on Thursdays. Sure, the Masters people
- 35:15Speaker 10: are so smart and they're so good and and as
- 35:19Speaker 10: I told you yesterday, I think I told you yesterday
- 35:22Speaker 10: The stat that just blew me away is that when
- 35:25Speaker 10: the when the the marketing shit, when the clothing shack
- 35:30Speaker 10: and all the trinkets and everything, the nomes are selling
- 35:33Speaker 10: for forty nine bucks. They've now built these masters gnomes. Yeah,
- 35:37Speaker 10: the gnome with the master's shirt on. I mean, if
- 35:40Speaker 10: you if you can think of anything to put a
- 35:42Speaker 10: Master's logo on it, the the the merchandise house will
- 35:48Speaker 10: make sixteen thousand dollars a minute.
- 35:52Speaker 5: No, that's insane.
- 35:54Speaker 10: Sunday. Yeah, when Sunday wraps, they'll have over seventy million
- 36:00Speaker 10: in the bank.
- 36:00Speaker 5: As far as merchant just from merch to where's mel Brooks,
- 36:04Speaker 5: you know, Yodo yogurt. What are we doing here merchandizing exactly?
- 36:10Speaker 10: I mean hats or hats are seventy dollars. You know,
- 36:13Speaker 10: normally I had a good hats twenty four to twenty
- 36:16Speaker 10: five bucks now, but a master's hat is seventy. Your
- 36:22Speaker 10: sweaters and your hoodies or well they're one forty one fifty.
- 36:27Speaker 10: A good foot joy master's rain jacket is two hundred
- 36:30Speaker 10: and forty dollars. Uh so that's what But sixteen thousand
- 36:34Speaker 10: dollars a minute is what they're gonna make so anyway.
- 36:37Speaker 5: It's gonna be a fun were you get your whole
- 36:39Speaker 5: lot there man, you know, yeah, yeah, at least is
- 36:42Speaker 5: the stuff made in the USA with people who make
- 36:44Speaker 5: a living way you know, of course Sri Lanka and
- 36:48Speaker 5: you know we do. Yeah, I'm just saying I'm not
- 36:51Speaker 5: I have nothing against Sri Lankans. I just know that
- 36:54Speaker 5: they don't charge a lot to make a ball cap.
- 36:57Speaker 10: They have They actually this year too, they merchandise the
- 37:00Speaker 10: Masters people. Never they merchandised a big giant box like
- 37:05Speaker 10: Omaha Steaks, a giant box where you get like six
- 37:09Speaker 10: chicken salad, six pimento cheese, six eggs salad, and you

- 38:05Speaker 14: hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
- 38:07Speaker 14: nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
- 38:12Speaker 14: still kills more people in the United States each year
- 38:14Speaker 14: than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
- 38:17Speaker 14: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
- 38:20Speaker 14: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
- 38:25Speaker 14: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
- 38:28Speaker 14: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
- 38:32Speaker 14: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
- 38:35Speaker 14: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
- 38:38Speaker 14: past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
- 38:41Speaker 14: and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

- 40:37Speaker 20: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 40:42Speaker 20: the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
- 40:44Speaker 20: illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:49Speaker 20: New maccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,

- 44:14Speaker 3: the first thing today.
- 44:17Speaker 23: The.
- 44:27Speaker 5: First thing today. And you know we have a special
- 44:30Speaker 5: bond between us, and I know that you won't go
- 44:34Speaker 5: on the internet and talk smack about me if I
- 44:37Speaker 5: tell you what my SAT scores were.
- 44:39Speaker 8: Uh.
- 44:40Speaker 5: And I say this because they I didn't think they
- 44:43Speaker 5: were all that bad, but then I didn't think they
- 44:45Speaker 5: were great. So I took it again and I got
- 44:48Speaker 5: the exact same score, only I transposed my verbal and
- 44:54Speaker 5: mathematics scores. So I figured, well, I guess the die
- 44:58Speaker 5: is cast. Then joining us us to talk a little
- 45:01Speaker 5: bit about SATs again. Tis the season for that, and
- 45:07Speaker 5: you know what they mean towards you know, your kid's future,
- 45:12Speaker 5: and and and where you wind up is Priscilla Rodriguez
- 45:18Speaker 5: to talk to us a little bit about this. Priscilla,
- 45:20Speaker 5: thank you for joining us. She is the senior vice
- 45:23Speaker 5: president of College Readiness Assessment, So I guess know better
- 45:28Speaker 5: to do this. How are you doing this morning?
- 45:33Speaker 12: I'm doing well, Thank you. And can I tell you something.
- 45:36Speaker 12: I love that story of yours. I don't know if
- 45:38Speaker 12: this was the case when you took the SAT. I
- 45:40Speaker 12: don't think it was when I did. But now most
- 45:43Speaker 12: maybe every college would actually accept both of your SAT
- 45:47Speaker 12: scores and grab your highest mass and your highest reading
- 45:52Speaker 12: writing and put them together, really super scoring. And so yes,
- 45:57Speaker 12: so we didn't get the benefit from that, but that
- 45:59Speaker 12: is a you know, colleges essentially are saying, like, show
- 46:03Speaker 12: us the best you did on that, show us the
- 46:05Speaker 12: best you did on reading and writing, and if those
- 46:06Speaker 12: didn't necessarily happen on the same day, that's okay.
- 46:09Speaker 5: See my parents looked at the lowest each one and said, well,
- 46:11Speaker 5: that's what we figure you actually can pull off there,
- 46:15Speaker 5: that's okay. It worked for Queens College in New York City,
- 46:18Speaker 5: University in New York, or as we liked to call it, thirteenth, fourteenth,
- 46:22Speaker 5: fifteenth and sixteenth grade there. But in all seriousness, SAT
- 46:27Speaker 5: scores are still a pre eminent metric, isn't it. Even
- 46:33Speaker 5: with all the debate about college admissions and what can
- 46:37Speaker 5: you ask a college kid and what do you have
- 46:39Speaker 5: to consider? This is a fairly standard number.
- 46:45Speaker 12: That's right, and that's really by design. So again a
- 46:48Speaker 12: lot has changed with how colleges think about and use
- 46:50Speaker 12: the scores and with what students are learning. But at
- 46:54Speaker 12: his heart, the SAT is a test of the foundational reading, writing,
- 47:00Speaker 12: and maths skills that students are learning in high school.
- 47:03Speaker 12: There are skills that research shows are needed to be
- 47:07Speaker 12: able to successfully transition and do well at college. They're
- 47:12Speaker 12: also skills needed in career. Right, this really is the
- 47:15Speaker 12: foundation for students future college and career. Coming out of
- 47:21Speaker 12: the pandemic, a lot of colleges move to what they
- 47:24Speaker 12: now call it test optional policy, which is the name
- 47:27Speaker 12: suggests give students the choice to put a test score
- 47:31Speaker 12: on their application or not. Some college is still require tests.
- 47:34Speaker 12: So it's really important that students and parents as they're
- 47:37Speaker 12: building kind of the list of colleges that students want
- 47:39Speaker 12: to apply to the really look closely at the policy.
- 47:43Speaker 12: Some are going to require a score, some are going
- 47:45Speaker 12: to make it your choice. With that kind of the
- 47:47Speaker 12: reality or the context, it's really important that students take
- 47:50Speaker 12: the SAT right. Having an SAT score. You can take
- 47:54Speaker 12: a once, you can take it twice with some practice
- 47:56Speaker 12: in the middle. But having an SAT score gives you
- 48:00Speaker 12: all your options, right. It doesn't rule any colleges out.
- 48:04Speaker 12: And for the test optional ones, you get to choose
- 48:07Speaker 12: if you think the score is a good reflection of
- 48:09Speaker 12: what you learned in high school or not. And for
- 48:12Speaker 12: many students it is, and colleges feel that way too. Right,
- 48:16Speaker 12: colleges are evaluating students from tens of thousands of different
- 48:21Speaker 12: high schools in the country, all different classes and grading policies.
- 48:25Speaker 12: The SAT is a standardized measure that colleges understand well
- 48:31Speaker 12: of what students have learned in high school.
- 48:34Speaker 5: You know, several years ago there was the argument made
- 48:36Speaker 5: that using SAT scores kept certain communities underprivileged or underrepresented
- 48:44Speaker 5: in colleges. Did the College Board do anything to try
- 48:48Speaker 5: to address that or make more resources available?
- 48:53Speaker 12: Priscilla, Yes, I really appreciate you asking that. The short
- 48:59Speaker 12: answer is yes, and I'm going to talk about two
- 49:01Speaker 12: things you've done. The first is, going back, like fifteen
- 49:05Speaker 12: or more years ago, the only way to take the
- 49:08Speaker 12: SAT was on a Saturday morning at your high school
- 49:11Speaker 12: or a local high school, and you and your parent,
- 49:14Speaker 12: you or your parents had to register and pay for it.
- 49:17Speaker 12: That is no longer the case, so we now have
- 49:20Speaker 12: a program called SAP School Day. It's very literally named
- 49:24Speaker 12: it is where we work with an entire state or
- 49:28Speaker 12: a district or even an individual high school and they
- 49:31Speaker 12: buy the SAT for all of their juniors and those
- 49:35Speaker 12: students take it during the school day in their school
- 49:39Speaker 12: building for free. This has been a game changer for
- 49:43Speaker 12: access and equity.
- 49:45Speaker 19: Right.
- 49:45Speaker 12: No longer do you have to know about the SAT,
- 49:48Speaker 12: register for it, pay for it, get to a school
- 49:51Speaker 12: on a Saturday morning. It's brought to you. And there
- 49:54Speaker 12: is third party research that's been done that shows that
- 49:59Speaker 12: it changed is college going, particularly for underrepresented students. It
- 50:05Speaker 12: to make a huge difference.
- 50:06Speaker 5: Interesting.
- 50:07Speaker 12: The second thing we've done is, yeah, about ten years
- 50:11Speaker 12: ago we made a commitment to give free world class
- 50:16Speaker 12: practice for the SAP to all students. Before that, you
- 50:20Speaker 12: were either on your own to try to practice, where
- 50:23Speaker 12: your family was paying for a tutor or classies.
- 50:26Speaker 25: Oh.
- 50:26Speaker 12: I don't know about you, but I grew up in
- 50:27Speaker 12: a family where we didn't have the money.
- 50:30Speaker 5: The money they made me buy, you know, because they
- 50:33Speaker 5: used to in the bookstores sell previous year's editions, and
- 50:38Speaker 5: then you would practice by just taking the previous year's tests.
- 50:43Speaker 12: That is exactly what I did. That's exactly what I
- 50:46Speaker 12: did too, because my parents didn't have you know, they
- 50:48Speaker 12: didn't have the money to pay for that. And I
- 50:51Speaker 12: remember feeling like I was already starting at a disadvantage
- 50:54Speaker 12: relative to my more affluent classmates. There is, of course
- 50:59Speaker 12: still classes paid stuff out there, but what has changed
- 51:03Speaker 12: in the last ten years is that we are now
- 51:06Speaker 12: the leading way that students get ready for the SAP,
- 51:09Speaker 12: and it's all for free. So on the testing app
- 51:12Speaker 12: where students are actually going to take the SAP, it's
- 51:15Speaker 12: called blue Book Inside a Blue Book, which is free.
- 51:18Speaker 12: Anybody can download it at any time. We have eight
- 51:21Speaker 12: full length official practice tests, kind of like what used
- 51:24Speaker 12: to be in that big book, but they work act
- 51:27Speaker 12: and are scored just like the real FAT because we're
- 51:30Speaker 12: the ones who make it right. No one knows the
- 51:31Speaker 12: test better than us. When you take that practice test,
- 51:34Speaker 12: you instantly get a score back. You get to know
- 51:37Speaker 12: which ones were right and wrong and why. You get
- 51:41Speaker 12: a sense for which SAT skills you should most focus
- 51:44Speaker 12: on improving, and you can take that over to our
- 51:47Speaker 12: partners at con Academy. That's k h an Academy. Just
- 51:52Speaker 12: about every high school in America knows about con Academy.
- 51:55Speaker 12: They're an amazing nonprofit and over on con they have
- 51:59Speaker 12: video tutorials, practice questions, quizz on the SAT reading, writing,
- 52:06Speaker 12: and maths skills. So you go saying, I know there's
- 52:08Speaker 12: three skills that I most need to improve on. I'm
- 52:11Speaker 12: going to focus on that. You refresh those skills, you
- 52:14Speaker 12: build those skills, you come back and take another practice test,
- 52:17Speaker 12: and you see kind of the path of improvement that
- 52:19Speaker 12: you're on.
- 52:21Speaker 5: It's CollegeBoard dot Org. Priscilla Rodriguez is a senior vice
- 52:26Speaker 5: president for college Readiness talking about it. And I'll tell
- 52:28Speaker 5: you the nice redesign after I took the SAT is
- 52:31Speaker 5: when you went from chiseling in rock to paper and
- 52:35Speaker 5: I was really chiseling into rock. Really slowed me down
- 52:40Speaker 5: in the SAT. But I appreciate it. Priscilla, you have
- 52:43Speaker 5: a wonderful morning and here's the SAT season.
- 52:48Speaker 12: Thank you. I really appreciate it. Thanks for the conversation.
- 52:51Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 14: California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience,
- 53:01Speaker 14: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
- 53:05Speaker 14: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 14: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
- 53:16Speaker 14: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
- 53:20Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
- 53:27Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
- 53:38Speaker 14: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
- 53:42Speaker 14: and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot com
