• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: He's damn near every day.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:14
  Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and on the way.

  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:25
  Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
• 0:29
  Speaker 8: Let me be your Thank you for letting us be
• 0:31
  Speaker 8: of service to you this morning. On location at the
• 0:38
  Speaker 8: Flight 93 Memorial Visitor Center here in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, getting
• 0:45
  Speaker 8: set up for, and somebody said, well, what's going on today?
• 0:49
  Speaker 8: I think a lot of setting up is going on today,
• 0:51
  Speaker 8: but you want to be here before everyone else is
• 0:54
  Speaker 8: setting up. That's always been my modus operandi. Stephen Clark,
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: the superintendent of the Flight 93 Memorial here for the
• 1:02
  Speaker 8: National Park Service. We'll get into our coverage of last
• 1:06
  Speaker 8: night at the convention as well, the Department of Energy's
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: admission on oil prices, President admitting it as well, Charlie
• 1:16
  Speaker 8: Kirk anniversary, one-year anniversary.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Of his death.
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: But, Stephen, because it's been 20 years since I've been
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: here and there was nothing here 20 years ago, And
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: this facility is gorgeous. Take us into the design of
• 1:30
  Speaker 8: how we get here today with this.
• 1:33
  Speaker 9: The NPS and the families and other powers to be,
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: they decided to have a design competition, very similar to
• 1:40
  Speaker 9: what the NPS did with the Vietnam Memorial in D.C.,
• 1:45
  Speaker 9: the wall there. And we very rarely do that, Joe.
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: We have our own architects and our own engineers and
• 1:50
  Speaker 9: so forth. But I really, looking back, I'm so glad
• 1:54
  Speaker 9: we did that. Because what that yielded, sir, was more
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: than 1,100 entries from 27 different countries. Gosh. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: And all different concepts that were just fascinating. But there
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: was a jury, Secretary of Interior, Park Service Director, family members,
• 2:16
  Speaker 9: local business leaders, and so forth. So they were able
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: to whittle that 1,100 down to five. And then the
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: NPS gave those remaining five $ 25, 000, and said, tell us
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: more about your design, your intentions. And then ultimately, Paul
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: Murdoch was selected in the September of 2005. And Paul Murdoch,
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: out of Los Angeles, grew up in Philadelphia there, but
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: just a brilliant, brilliant mind, sight unseen. And he, in essence,
• 2:46
  Speaker 9: designed this memorial, about 2,200 acres in phases.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: I want to find out more about those phases, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: we must tell the folks about what's going on in
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: the world so that we can conversate on it. Stephen Clark,
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: the superintendent of the Flight 93 Memorial, today, as I mentioned,
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: is also the one-year anniversary of the assassination of founder
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. The trial continues in
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: Utah as they work on trying to find out all
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: of what went on and how that assassination came about.
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: Last night was the first night of the Republican National
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: Committee's first ever midterm convention. President Trump, who will also
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: speak tonight, told the crowd, this has been the most
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: successful two years financially and every other way in the
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: history of the presidency. Together, we will turn a two-year
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: comeback into a 250-year lead. One of the folks that
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: is rumored to be coming here to Shanksville tonight to
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: speak at the ceremonies tomorrow, John Fetterman, Pennsylvania senator, broke
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: from the other Democrats in one more way last night
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: as he appeared at the RNC convention by video to
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: introduce his seatmate, if you will, his fellow senator from Pennsylvania,
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: Dave McCormick. I'm always going to stand with America. I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: always going to reject the extremes and socialism and that
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: anti-American way of life, he told the crowd. Treasury Department
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: said Wednesday, today is the day it will buy up
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: to $ 6 billion in 10- to 20-year Treasury bonds during
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: its buyback operations, triple the size of the last long-dated operation.
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: President Trump said what we've talked about here on this
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: program before, the Iranian leadership has a calendar, and they
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: know when the midterms are on. And he says it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: not likely that oil prices will start coming down until
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: after the midterm elections. I think it's going to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: a little bit longer than the midterms. Meanwhile, the Department
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: of Energy has upped its estimate for diesel prices for
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: next year. I'm questioning whether this was before or after
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: the Venezuelan deal, what statistics they have. They say because
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: of waning... supplies, the average will be about $ 4. 40 a
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: gallon or 33 cents higher from the earlier average. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: roughly 1 million Americans who bought their health insurance through
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: the Obamacare exchange will get a $ 500 direct deposit rebate
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: before the November 3rd elections, the Department of Health and
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: Human Services announced. And those are our first things this
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: morning here on the Talk Media Network.
• 5:51
  Speaker 10: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:54
  Speaker 10: the American story. But not every site is telling that
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
• 6:12
  Speaker 10: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies, but sites
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: from all 50 states will be added in time for
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From Mount Vernon
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg, and more. Americans deserve transparency
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
• 6:42
  Speaker 10: The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to
• 6:46
  Speaker 10: rediscover the places and stories that define our nation, whether
• 6:50

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:06
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 10:03
  Speaker 17: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes. including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:22
  Speaker 17: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:28
  Speaker 17: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:33
  Speaker 17: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:37
  Speaker 17: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: Eat better.

  Speaker 2: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:08
  Speaker 19: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 11: Cannonball!
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: Cramp!
• 12:13

  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 19: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 19: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 19: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today, by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: You know, aside from it being somewhat of a Scottish
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: Highlands morning here in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, I will remind people...
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: that the phrase hillbilly comes from the fact that much
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: of this area was settled by Scotsman to go work
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: in the mines because they knew how to work in
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: the mines.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But also an unspoken.
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: Tribute to a fellow I got to meet two or
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: three times. He was gracious, just down with us, not
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: like running Turning Point USA, didn't have his dance card full,
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: but he was learning the radio business When he was
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: taken from us a year ago today, Charlie Kirk, just
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: a reminder of other things going on in the world.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Stephen Clark, the superintendent of the Flight 93 Memorial. Stephen,
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: I wanted to ask you about the phases. You've mentioned
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: phases of the design. And then we'll get James in here,
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: our gold and silver reporter.
• 14:26
  Speaker 16: Sure.
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: In 2011 was phase one completed, where we have the
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: Wall of Names with these beautiful eight-foot marble panels. It's
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: where visitors can walk down and look out at the
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: crash site, which is marked with a 17.5-ton sandstone boulder.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: And that's what the memorial consisted of until phase two,
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: which was completed in September of 2015. So to your point,
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: when I got here in March, I arrived in March
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: of 15. I had the honor of overseeing the dedication
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: of the visitor center and what we refer to as
• 15:03
  Speaker 9: the classroom in September of 15. And that's really the
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: nucleus of the memorial. And then finally, yeah, and then
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: phase three with the Tower of Voices. And your visitors,
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: you can go on earthcam.com and type in Tower of
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: Voices in the search box. You can listen and view
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: the Tower of Voices 24-7. It's absolutely incredible. It's a
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: 93-foot high structure with 40 incredible wind chimes weighing anywhere
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: from 200 to 300 pounds apiece. And they're at the
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: mercy of the beautiful Somerset County winds and so forth.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: So it's really an incredible design of how it came
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: to be.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Stephen, hang on the line with us. Actually, my wife
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: is out there right now at the the Tower of
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: Voices shooting some video for our social media accounts. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: I want to keep talking here at the Flight 93 Memorial.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: All of this brought to you by our friends at
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: Big Ridge Guns and Archery. Jim Wood is going to
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: join us a little bit later on. So many things,
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: but the idea of the bravery to see something and
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: do something is a reminder. from this site there and
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: something I hope the message resonates forward. And our friends
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: at the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. Our friends at
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: the Jefferson Coin Shop, jcsgold.com.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: They were in the business.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: They've been in the gold and silver investing business since 1961.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: They've seen a few crises come across the United States.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: James Luck is fourth generation of that Luck family business.
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: that's doing this without, you know, a quota list or,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: you know, a callback list or any sort of commission base.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: It's just about helping folks get into the gold and
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: silver world. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 17:00
  Speaker 23: I'm doing well, Joe. Gold and silver are on a
• 17:02
  Speaker 23: little bit of a discount so far this morning.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Gold's down about a half a percent, down.
• 17:07
  Speaker 23: $ 20 to $ 4, 381 this And silver is having a little
• 17:12
  Speaker 23: bit of a sell-off here, down 2.5% to $ 65.
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: 61.
• 17:19
  Speaker 23: Some of the lowest prices there on silver that we've
• 17:21
  Speaker 23: seen in recent weeks here since the breakout. So take
• 17:24
  Speaker 23: advantage of that discount there.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: On silver. And you had a.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: Good point, Joe.
• 17:30
  Speaker 23: We're not a call center. A lot of people are
• 17:32
  Speaker 23: surprised that when they do business with us, they place
• 17:35
  Speaker 23: an order through our website at jcsgold.com. They don't hear
• 17:38
  Speaker 23: from us after that. They don't get a lot of
• 17:41
  Speaker 23: spam emails. They don't get a lot of junk in
• 17:43
  Speaker 23: the mail. They really don't hear from us again unless
• 17:46
  Speaker 23: they have a question or they have any other interest
• 17:49
  Speaker 23: in gold and silver as a client relationship moving forward.
• 17:53
  Speaker 23: But we don't hassle you with a lot of spam.
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: You mean you're not going to fill up my smartphone
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: with ads for something I've already partaken in? Wow, that's
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: a unique concept, James. I appreciate it. 434-879-COIN is that
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: non-call center there. And I'm telling you, if you get
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: the chance.
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: Perhaps this is the opportunity to get in because it
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: sounds like diesel fuel prices are going to stay high
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: for a while. So, you know, get some silver and
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: help out with that if you can, James. But I appreciate,
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: as always, everything you and the whole family and the
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: whole team at JCS Gold does for us. And I
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: hope folks, if they're of the mind, give you guys
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: a call. And if for no other reason, then you
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: don't feel like Are they telling me the good advice
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: or are they just trying to, you know, made it?
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: That's why I bring up quotas.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Not that quotas are bad, you know, out of.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: Themselves, but sometimes people make decisions about advice based on
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: I need to make a sale. You don't have to
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: sit through an evening of Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross to
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: understand that. So I appreciate it as always, James, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: keep doing what you're doing. And we'll talk to you
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: again tomorrow morning.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: Absolutely. Thanks, Joe.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: 434-979-COIN is his number. It's a number I just called
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: as well. It was interesting. Stephen Clark on with us
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: from the National Park Service superintendent of this Flight 93
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: memorial where we're coming to you from on this very,
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: and you think I'm kidding. I'll get some pictures. This
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: is a very highland morning here. It's a soft morning
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: is what my brothers of the heather would call it,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: but you were talking about the design of this facility.
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: I actually likened it, and it's interesting you mention that
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: because I know there was a design circulating and it
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: looked familiar to what I was looking at as we
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: were planning this broadcast. And I guess so his design
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: had already been selected when I was out there last
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: in 2006. And, of course, obviously things morph and grow
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: and the design evolves. But you know what I likened
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: it to? At least that design that I had seen
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: at that point. As I said, it reminded me of
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: the Arizona. I'm sorry. I get emotional about this site
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: quite a bit, Chris.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: But it was reminiscent to me of the Arizona Memorial,
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: where there's just such an elegant, gentle design of it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: that almost belies the horrific things that had to happen
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: there before this arrived. Do you feel like that was
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: intentional when you talked to the architect, Paul Murdoch? Was
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: that his idea, was to put something graceful and beautiful
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: where a nightmare had taken place?
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: Every single element, Joe, of this design was so carefully
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: planned And it folds in beautifully with this rural Pennsylvania landscape.
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: And I can share with you that every park superintendent,
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: whether you're at Glacier or Yellowstone or Great Smokies, you
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: name it, we all have an inbox. And, you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: from time to time at the Flight 93 superintendent inbox,
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: you know, I'll get, is that the best the park
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: service can do is a rock to mark the, you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: the crash site? Yeah, Joe, and again, I don't respond
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: to that in an email. I call that person, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: I explain, and I have a conversation, and then I
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: explain that, believe it or not, the actual impact site
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: was never part of the design at all.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Wow, I hadn't even thought of that. Hang on to that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: News is coming up here on First Thing today as
• 21:56

• 22:13
  Speaker 24: to 500 bucks a month. And that is huge. But
• 22:16
  Speaker 24: it's also true that people are way more satisfied after
• 22:19
  Speaker 24: making the switch to the member satisfaction rate for MediShare
• 22:22
  Speaker 24: is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:26
  Speaker 24: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members

  Speaker 1: in that? First thing today by Joe Thomas on the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Talk Media Network.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us.
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: We are here at the Flight 93 Memorial, and I
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: was thinking about sports with Mac joining us from Full
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: Sail University and the impact of sports here. On September 11th, Mac,
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: especially in the aftermath of it, I mean, well, of course,
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: the ball game, the Mets, the Yankees, Shea Stadium, all
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: the guys wearing NYFD, NYPD. But here in Pennsylvania, I mean,
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: they talk about the impact of the high school football.
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: You know how high school football is in Pennsylvania.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: That's bigger than the Steelers.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 29:03
  Speaker 28: My wife actually asked me last night, we were having dinner,
• 29:06
  Speaker 28: and she said, where were you on 9-11? And I
• 29:11
  Speaker 28: explained to her, I was in the newsroom of the
• 29:13
  Speaker 28: radio station in Charlottesville, and it all broke loose. That
• 29:18
  Speaker 28: was on a Tuesday, if I remember right, because Thursday
• 29:21
  Speaker 28: we were supposed to play Virginia was supposed to play
• 29:25
  Speaker 28: Penn State on a Thursday night game in September, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 28: it turned out that game got pushed back to December
• 29:33
  Speaker 28: just from a scheduling standpoint, and that's where Al Groh
• 29:36
  Speaker 28: contacted New York Firemen and then New York Fire Company.
• 29:40
  Speaker 28: came down in their original boots and gear, all covered
• 29:46
  Speaker 28: in 9-11 dust, and carried the football out to the
• 29:48
  Speaker 28: 50-yard line to start the game. And, I mean, you
• 29:51
  Speaker 28: talk about a moment.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: That was a.
• 29:52
  Speaker 28: And that game was played like at 11 o'clock in
• 29:54
  Speaker 28: the morning. It was the only window that ESPN had.
• 29:56
  Speaker 28: So yeah, but that was just from a sports standpoint,
• 29:59
  Speaker 28: but I ended up doing three or four talk shows, uh,
• 30:02
  Speaker 28: because sports stations still wanted to talk sports with everything
• 30:04
  Speaker 28: that was going on.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: So it was, uh, And.
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Goodell got, you know, I know Goodell just got his
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: big extension and he's going to be 207 by the
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: time his contract expires. But he took a lot of
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: heat for moving games back and suspending games. because they
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: were like the world needed, but also the security had
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: to change.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely.
• 30:29
  Speaker 28: And Pete Rozelle, if you go back to the Kennedy
• 30:31
  Speaker 28: assassination weekend, I mean, that was Pete Rozelle. Pete Rozelle
• 30:34
  Speaker 28: always talked about that that was one of the biggest
• 30:36
  Speaker 28: decisions that he had to make for teams to play
• 30:38
  Speaker 28: on Sunday.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And, you know, that was just, you know.
• 30:42
  Speaker 28: Part of it's a big part of history for sure. So, well,
• 30:46
  Speaker 28: with all that being said, you're going to love my
• 30:47
  Speaker 28: sports courts this morning because you asked me to do
• 30:49
  Speaker 28: a little homework and tomorrow would be a good day
• 30:52
  Speaker 28: to pay some tribute to.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: To 9-11 from the sports standpoint, so I'll have more homework.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: That's a good thing. All right, a couple things.
• 30:58
  Speaker 28: The SEC presidents and chancellors are meeting today at 10 o'clock,
• 31:02
  Speaker 28: and now the LSU potential expulsion is off the table.
• 31:07
  Speaker 28: The LSU president, Wade Rouse, sent a letter to Commissioner
• 31:10
  Speaker 28: Greg Sankey stating that the dispute now is moot after
• 31:14
  Speaker 28: LSU filled its final two roster spots and did not
• 31:18
  Speaker 28: include the NFL guys.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: So now they're saying, well, LSU, it'll be a conference
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Conversations and everything is fine.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: But this is only Chapter 5 of this because the
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: NFL guys, Daquan, I forget the players' names.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Daquan Wright and Damian Harris, yeah.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: Their lawyers are going to file suit probably later today.
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: You know, that's going to happen. Now it's like, now
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: it's restrained trade. They'll bring race into it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: You name it. Roll the dice, pick up a card.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: What happens next?
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: In our game.
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 31:53
  Speaker 28: You asked me a little homework last night. I dove
• 31:56
  Speaker 28: into it. The live golf fiasco. Chapter 11, bankruptcy protection.
• 32:00
  Speaker 28: You're going to love some of these dollar figures. See,
• 32:03
  Speaker 28: Liv wants to reorganize. Many livers have been contacted by
• 32:07
  Speaker 28: the media, but they can't talk.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: They have a non-disclosure agreement. Convenient.
• 32:12
  Speaker 25: Why?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Why would you ever give?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 28: Five years, five years in operation, $ 5 billion spent, and
• 32:18
  Speaker 28: the Liv brass is still hoping to surface in 2027.
• 32:22
  Speaker 28: So first, the public investment fund that kept Liv alive
• 32:25
  Speaker 28: pulled its commitment beyond 2026. Four years ago, they lost
• 32:30
  Speaker 28: $ 243 million. In 23, they lost $ 395 million.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: In 24, a cool $ 461 million. What are they, a government?
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: It's a 51st state.
• 32:43
  Speaker 28: The public investment fund said, okay, in June, they gave
• 32:47
  Speaker 28: him a $ 495 million loan. So that paperwork was signed late.
• 32:52
  Speaker 28: Liv says their assets are between 100 mil and 500 mil. However,
• 32:59
  Speaker 28: Liv has a $ 3.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Billion in net operating losses.
• 33:03
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 33:04
  Speaker 28: So Chapter 11 with their reorganization. They're working with a group,
• 33:08
  Speaker 28: BC Partners, a London-based private equity firm. Now, player contracts
• 33:12
  Speaker 28: are a big part of this. So where did all
• 33:14
  Speaker 28: this money go?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: All right, just a little reminder for you.
• 33:19
  Speaker 28: John Rahm, a $ 300 million contract. He is still owed 7.4 mil,
• 33:24
  Speaker 28: 200 mil to Phil Mickelson. And so he's still owed
• 33:29
  Speaker 28: a big chunk of that. However, Phil now has got
• 33:31
  Speaker 28: other things in his life going on. I'll tell that
• 33:34
  Speaker 28: story next week. $ 125 million to Bryson Shambo.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: He is still owed $ 5. 7 million. On and on it goes.
• 33:42
  Speaker 28: Dustin Johnson is still owed $ 5.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: 5 million. Another $ 136.
• 33:47
  Speaker 28: Billion went to prize money and championship bonuses. So the
• 33:52
  Speaker 28: court papers say outstanding debts totaled between $ 500 million and
• 33:58
  Speaker 28: $ 1 billion to.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Between 1,000 and 5,000 creditors.
• 34:03
  Speaker 28: All right, I get now, you know, say what you
• 34:05
  Speaker 28: want about Rory McIlroy, because before all of this came
• 34:09
  Speaker 28: down the pike, when it was just kind of bubbling
• 34:11
  Speaker 28: on the surface, McIlroy predicted it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 20: Would predict that you'll see some guys leave as they're
• 34:18
  Speaker 20: free to now, as I guess contracts have been breached
• 34:22
  Speaker 20: by them filing for bankruptcy. So obviously there's a lot
• 34:26
  Speaker 20: of players on live that can strengthen golf tournaments and
• 34:30
  Speaker 20: make them more competitive. So I would see that as
• 34:33
  Speaker 20: a good thing for the DP World Tour. And I
• 34:37
  Speaker 20: think the health of the DP World Tour is in
• 34:38
  Speaker 20: a really good spot.
• 34:39
  Speaker 28: Yeah, and so a guy like Brooks Koepka, who did
• 34:42
  Speaker 28: get to cross lines and said to the PGA Tour,
• 34:46
  Speaker 28: I will pay the fine. I forget that dollar number,
• 34:50
  Speaker 28: but it was substantial for him to get back on
• 34:52
  Speaker 28: the PGA Tour.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Then he did not play well at all. Of course.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: So now.
• 34:58
  Speaker 28: But just if the Rahms and the Dustin Johnsons of
• 35:02
  Speaker 28: the world come back, I mean, Ian Poulter, fine, you'll
• 35:06
  Speaker 28: be teaching lessons and doing some YouTube videos, I'm sure,
• 35:09
  Speaker 28: and the guys like that.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: But the Dustin.
• 35:11
  Speaker 28: Johnsons, John Rahms, you know, Phil Mickelson's going to try
• 35:15
  Speaker 28: to get out of his scrap with his wife because
• 35:17
  Speaker 28: he's been up to such shenanigans. You realize Mickelson paid
• 35:21
  Speaker 28: a kid because he had two cell phones and he
• 35:24
  Speaker 28: was messing around with this other girl apparently. So Mickelson
• 35:28
  Speaker 28: paid a kid 500 bucks to take his phone and
• 35:30
  Speaker 28: just drive around the golf course in case his wife
• 35:33
  Speaker 28: Amy wanted to track the phone. And so then Phil
• 35:36
  Speaker 28: could go over to this house where this lady lived.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: And meanwhile, to keep his phone at the golf course.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: So he pays a kid 500 bucks. Did you just
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: drive around on the golf course? So it looks like
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: he's playing golf anyway. You know, yeah, I know it
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: gets better and better. So bottom line is live is scrambling.
• 35:57
  Speaker 28: How the players are going to negotiate their exit will
• 36:00
  Speaker 28: be big thing, but boy, oh boy, they'll, it'll be
• 36:02
  Speaker 28: a great addition to the tour for that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: And by the way, the DP world tour, that is
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: the old European tour.
• 36:07
  Speaker 28: It's now called the DP World Tour, which, you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 28: gets them across the ocean.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:13
  Speaker 16: Mr.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Thomas.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: You want to make a couple of bucks?
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: You want to make a couple of bucks? I have
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: an idea. And maybe you and me, we broker it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: Bring in our engineer, Alan, because he's good at this
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: kind of stuff. And Vinny's from New Jersey, so he
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: understands the offer you can't refuse. So here's what we do.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Just shh, shh, shh. Don't tell anyone.
• 36:35
  Speaker 28: I won't. I won't.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: I've got the idea to save the live tour.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, if you want to, go ahead.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Banana ball.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: That's brilliant.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: Call the guy who owns the Savannah Bananas and say, you.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Want to branch out into golf? Hey, it's saved a franchise.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: It's saved a minor league franchise in Savannah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: What that guy did. Yeah. Look at what he's done.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: He's filling ballparks that the major league teams can't ticket.
• 37:07
  Speaker 28: Tickets used to be $ 5 in Savannah. They are 450.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: To 500 with a waiting list with a waiting list. Exactly.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: To go see that show, you.
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: Know, can you imagine banana golf?
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, too good. I mean, what do you want to do?
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Go see Garth Brooks for 400 bucks? Or would you
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: rather go see, you know, banana ball for four?
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, that's, you know, play defense, have
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: some guys like hitting the ball the other way. That
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: is Bryce and DeChambeau doing like, you know, you, you
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: can leave your hat on the, on the door, you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: line dancing before.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: He tees off. I think it's too good. All right.

• 38:12
  Speaker 14: disease still kills more people in the United States each

  Speaker 14: year than all types of cancer combined, but more than
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: half of Americans are unaware of this fact. according to

• 39:14

  Speaker 21: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 21: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 21: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 21: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead.
• 40:52
  Speaker 21: To pneumonia, meningitis, or even a severe blood infection. That's

• 44:48
  Speaker 8: Thank you for joining us this morning for our special coverage.
• 44:54
  Speaker 8: We are here at the Flight 93 Memorial. We're at
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: the Visitor Center right now. We'll be doing some more stuff.
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: Guests coming for tomorrow. We'll get you some of the lineup,
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: but still some of it. We have family members who
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: will be speaking tomorrow. FAA executives, the actual architect of
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: this beautiful commemorative site, Paul Murdoch, is going to speak
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: tomorrow as well. We're hearing that Senator Fenterman may be here,
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: some of the other, those types, but Stephen Clark is
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: the superintendent of Flight 93, and I know you've got
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: to get on. Folks all getting prepped up here, press
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: starting to get themselves flexed out there. But I've been
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: to Plymouth, Massachusetts. So when you talk about people complaining
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: about a boulder as part of a national park, I've
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: been to Plymouth Rock. And it's not Plymouth Rock. It
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: is a rock near the water with a fence around it.
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: So I kind of get it. But tell us the
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: story of the boulder here at Flight 93.
• 46:06
  Speaker 9: And so Debbie Borza, her daughter, Diora Bodley, was the
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: youngest on Flight 93. Diora was 20. And Debbie Borza,
• 46:16
  Speaker 9: as the 20th was approaching, she goes, hey, how about
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: one of those big boulders up by headquarters? Kind of
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: a tongue-in-cheek suggestion, and the families loved it. The Park
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: Service looked at one another back then, and they said, okay,
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: let's do it. And so that's how the infancy and
• 46:34
  Speaker 9: the birth of that boulder. And when you come to
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: see this place, and you look at the crash site,
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: I believe it's absolutely perfect because so often those emails
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: come in, as I mentioned, is that the best they
• 46:47
  Speaker 9: can do? And when I talked to them, I'm like,
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: what would you envision? And something like the Washington Monument
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: or a bunch of flags and so forth. And I,
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: of course, I tell folks that I'm not telling you
• 46:56
  Speaker 9: how to think or what to feel. But here it
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: really is, Joe, to your really, really superb point about
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: just folding into the general landscape of these hemlock groves.
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: And just the contour of western Pennsylvania here in Somerset County,
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: I think Paul and his team did a phenomenal job.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: And it really– and I know that a lot of
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: folks have said to me, well, why doesn't it go
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: all the way down to the crash? I said this
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: is a burial ground in many cases. I mean it
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: was a crime scene. It was a burial site. It
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: was– mass murder happened here. So there needs to be
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: some space. I've always felt like there just needs to
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: be some space where we can look upon it and
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: think about it. And I think the rest of the
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: memorial really gives you the opportunity to do that.
• 47:48
  Speaker 16: It does.
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: You know, Sarah, a couple of years ago, we had
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: a U.S. president coming to the memorial for a 9-11 event.
• 47:56
  Speaker 9: And his speechwriter called me and we were talking through
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: and she said, Steve, tell me about the park. tell
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: me about the different features. And about five minutes in,
• 48:09
  Speaker 9: she said, you know what, Steve, I'm just going to
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: stop right here. I will meet you tomorrow morning. And
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: she came up to the park and she delivered, you know,
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: the president delivered a phenomenal speech that she wrote. But
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: the point I'm trying to make is that to your point, Joe,
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: you have to come and see this. And I know
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: you have listeners all over the country, but But if
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: they ever find themselves in western Pennsylvania, all of our
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: national parks here are free, free in western PA, Flight 93.
• 48:38
  Speaker 9: There's no charge at all. We're open 365 days out
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: of the year. Our visitor centers close Christmas, Thanksgiving, and
• 48:46
  Speaker 9: New Year, one of those type of things to give
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: our rangers a little bit of a break. Yeah, but
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: our partners, our ambassadors, our volunteers, our community, schools, churches,
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: It's just incredible. The harmony in this community is just phenomenal,
• 49:04
  Speaker 9: and it's an honor to work here and to oversee
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: this great place.
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: So it's early in the morning, and I haven't really
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: had a chance to kind of look around and get
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: it set up and everything, but I wanted to. I
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: don't know if this is apocryphal. This is my last
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: question for you. Did that chain link fence get incorporated
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: somehow into the memorial that had just developed organically up
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: on a parking area that was just there?
• 49:34
  Speaker 26: Yes.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: I had heard a story that somewhere it had been
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: incorporated into the memorial somehow. Has it or is that
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: just one of those urban legends?
• 49:47
  Speaker 9: Joe, it absolutely was and is incorporated into the current design.
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: And so a few years back, we designed a trail
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: called the Trail of Remembrance Trail.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: So I thought we.
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: Would have kind of a competition with my staff and
• 50:04
  Speaker 9: everybody had an idea with the ambassadors what we would
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: call this trail. And the Trail of Remembrance seemed to
• 50:10
  Speaker 9: have the most votes, so to speak. And, you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: we took the visitors not just to aware a kind
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: of about where that was, Joe, that you're talking to.
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: I wanted it exact. and we literally had a metal
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: detector and, and we were on our hands and knees
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: and we found the actual, uh, state where the flag
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: went into the anchors.
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 50:36

  Speaker 9: so we have, uh, Visitors can go to that exact
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: location and see photographs of that very chain link fence.

  Speaker 9: Then if it's okay, sir, I'd like to mention that
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: thanks to the generosity of several anonymous donors across this

  Speaker 9: one of the projects that we did, instead of that
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: Trail of Remembrance ending and then people having to turn
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: around and go back, we continued that trail on to
