" And make 50 at 8 o'clock tonight the Bruins face off against the flyers in Philadelphia. I'm Malcolm Walter -- WR KR news hour three of veterans forum begins not at 680 WRKO."

On the other side of the -- majority over the -- overwhelming majority all but maybe one or two will also vote for the bill and then they'll go home and if we ever get out of here they will go home.

" It's better than. Investigating -- com."

" President Obama has chosen to become wind brought Justin from a new Mellon's world headquarters building. Arab news forum."

" Do you get the memo over the weekend which while we're not do enough Tiger Woods have consultants say. We talked all about the Tiger Woods why is -- shows that we -- the consultants on -- guests who would have -- for example that the consultants would say. Don't talk about Wes Welker -- again that he had just and a strength always knows. We know that in the first we minutes we didn't we have to talk about west yeah he's an admirable idea then Wes walker would ever be in the kind of scandal that. -- I shouldn't do indeed Tiger Woods continues to be the lead story on major newscasts I I just saw on the way in the smart I listen to podcasts of the NBC nightly news last night the first five minutes was Tiger Woods now. First five minutes. Tiger Woods somebody you know him somebody made a comment last week -- did an analysis last week about how many hits. The Tiger -- story was just on the Internet reading -- Internet. As compared to Copenhagen climate gate. As compared to health reforms can be up stimulus taxes all the all the rest that's a pretty Iraq or Afghanistan pretty serious stuff. Tiger -- like multiple of ten to one. Ten wanna know he's a what similarly silly country we have been -- this is this is -- Information coming back data set that helps us understand who we are -- culture what we're up to. In Tiger Woods is somebody the a lot of people believed dead. And I think when you believe in somebody and then you find out you were totally fooled. That that's an important moment that at that point you're way to standing some what are your warnings did people believe in that he was an. -- I think that people. It's not enough for people say he's the best golfer in the world we wanna build a story liner believe the story line about a guy that here's an excellent human -- we want to be able to believe in people. And we tended of that I don't think that he was of the portrayed as an excellent human being you not for CNN's -- wanna -- he had well the -- was perceived as being who's an exquisite golf. Just absolutely what I did he not when he was receiving one of those many trophies. Have the wife Kamal with the kids showed part that's part of crafting Republican Arnold Kim family man show there -- statements he did an interview I yeah I think it was may be New Zealand his last interview before this broke. Any emphasized that he was a family man family first. I he would he didn't it he did say that he did I'm sorry -- endemic to rent the movies stay at home global blog that kind of stuff he didn't expound on the fact these try to create a bigger family and more women all the time. Having unprotected sex but -- the question remains why do we care that's my take on why we care because we want to believe in the whole person we like -- to be good people on the world. So one more idolize in an athlete or whomever. We try to assign positive attributes until proven otherwise and that's what we do it all people all right we assume the best in people in till. They teach us otherwise."

" And this has always been a human interest in gossip and scandal -- want to fall from grace. Of people who us so -- seen -- a certain planes. Either because there are pretty -- what -- leadership in the particular field whether it's politics religion golf whatever the fall from grace is something that always. Intrigues us unfortunately it's a constant to a foot human life because we are sentenced him to tiger you see it is a pretty serious and these days. World's."

" 17266686. C why is tiger such a big story and is this legitimate. Or does it reflect this Tom says some kind of some kind of flood stage where -- right now word the frivolous appeals to us I. I don't think that's strike think even a serious nation we take the Tiger Woods story seriously because she's one of the biggest celebrities in the world. And he has bin perceived to be a noble human beings to give -- a passing glance for a couple of days. Is it is fundamentally different than what we've seen I mean you've made the point yourself every single all right -- ridiculous has been going with this story nonstop for how when did this scandal stuff to break -- the next couple of weeks as there I think you're right there are Michael Jackson false stories in our -- I'm sure being ignored. Because of Tiger Woods and I resent -- hi John good morning your WRK what do you think about this."

" I couldn't care less of multi award store and take these on as huge as boring. Jerry Springer like crap we're gonna talk about climate gate."

" When we know it is the way we could link the two of them I think I thought yeah I mean half."

" They don't live right these machines so you would like trembling right --"

" Good thing you. Good good -- that's okay."

" Throughout -- it I don't care about him as a golfer I find it fascinating. Seeing these human beings trying to struggle through their downsides they're dark sides and I did it's unhealthy thing for the country except. It's healthy young country tell me how it's healthy because we -- water line. -- learn not to trust the Tiger Woods is of the world it's gonna be easy not to -- Democrats and everybody needs to mistrust Democrats intuitively I didn't know that -- was a Democrat I figured it doesn't -- that he has become very conservatives about -- growing more cynical America's not a cynical -- nation to understand -- how we -- buyer -- all of America's America's brutally cynical but but not -- cynical and I don't know in a negative -- toppled the cynicism is very -- it's -- it's unrealistic how lacking in cynicism we -- that's -- and -- WRK."

" I don't -- got hey Eric what's going on --"

" Mike lot of this yes no except that they've put title ward because you know I hit the god had wall -- Don't know what anybody at practically. Wiped what -- that god played a simple okay. Can I blame the media because you're not. Immediately what could make individual big stink it up spoiled that you how much money people commit got interviewed in the --"

" It's about money played example."

" Well it's about money but I think your perceive being wrong how the money plays -- A B network newscasts lead every newscast with Tiger Woods that they possibly can -- about this were listening to this and the Sunday night newscasts from NBC last night. Bet they were leading with Tiger Woods because when they looked at all the stories they had. There was nothing else they could run that would hold an audience and that's how they do it out they don't think. What's the biggest news story where news organization we can do good journalism yeah yeah they they look at where they can get the most viewers and I think."

" I I agree announced -- point it's all about money. It is all but not the way he's -- if for example NBC thought that some kind of a report on Harry Reid and the Republicans fighting over health care what Hollywood get in hold more viewers did go what Harry Reid. But the what NBC is determined is that we the United States of America. Are a bunch of Jerry Springer like freaks we like to actually sit and watch the freak show. And that's what it is it's a free I think they do without value judgment they just say which story to people want to see tiger was remains compelling. And I think the burden on our system not just throw stones but to figure out why it's compelling and see if maybe there's a good reason that let me ask you this do you find it compelling in itself what do you find it compelling because the news networks. Continued to lead with a ten and ten days twelve days two weeks after the fact. The that this could -- really the same silly ness as we saw with Michael Jackson which has no effect on -- life. Your wife few navy friend you feel like no effect whatsoever what tiger did or did not do what Michael Jackson did -- did not do but the noose continues to present at."

" They've they've worn me out now because the lead story today and yesterday was that this what's a company called X censure X venture. And they've dropped him as save as a spokesperson has Gillette and what they will do now is still to a separate story and every -- is just backed off on the usage celtics' century issued a press release saying we are no longer going to use Tiger Woods they wanted to. Making it clear that they were severing the eerie image from his because his no longer matches -- but. To me it's not a new story it's an obvious inevitability is a little box inside the paper somewhere by the way -- censure drops Tiger Woods and what they'll do is a run lead stories I think from now on every time a sponsor drops of those are inevitable results of what he did for PR reasons all companies are just handling it differently but sought a news story that one of them drops the news story would be if at the end of the next month or two. He has lost all his sponsorship deals. And by the way what are the new once he's gonna pick up now everybody's got different kind of image."

" Foolish stuff you know how about Harley-Davidson. Well how Hollywood and how about tiger on a motorcycle. There's one with -- well we're gonna hells angels Jack yeah. And with a cigar company cannot smoke. He's got to go with what he's got. Jimmy good morning I don't know why you around the with a bucket here right on time Jimmy not."

" Yea that's gonna -- the good guy guy can like I think you already know what I'm gonna say -- I think -- you know you got a lot of dried news or read. You know all -- station not I don't wanna mention helped give -- don't know what it very dry news stories that have to do about politics and you know what unfortunately. They only god -- that the some you -- political and newest junkies like ourselves but unfortunately. Got a story like I guess. Kind of appeals to everyone everywhere he wants an -- fight is personal life and that's why they're leading with -- because that's way itself. And it."

" It already I think what you're suggesting is that there's a low threshold to ensure you don't have to be informed. You don't have to have been following the story glass right on and be entertained by it."

" No and another big exactly it's it's just you know it it. It appeals for some bad about nature of the lobster caught that all of this is an overgrown got a story you know -- say she -- type of up."

" I think it's a learning experience Jimmy don't think there's any learning going on when everybody falls for a guy like Tiger Woods who has offered us nothing except these are good golfer and he's -- good looking black man I think plays into -- he was the first Barack Obama that socially acceptable crossover kind of black guy. Who feels why did the way he handles himself in the way he speaks. Any makes everybody feel good handsome guy. How was -- and everybody knew it was going to be a superstar golfer when he is five years old it's a great story and we fall forward I think this is learning experience."

" Yeah -- I think if that's a learning experience this is it is that people and things don't lobby. Don't always I know I'm always what they appear to be senate guys seem like an Angel anyone deliberately looked like it when he came up on the tour. Back around 1996. Reunite."

" Well maybe maybe is an Angel who just likes have a lot of -- bimbos who picks up in Carson."

" Grenade while we have to redefine Angel his -- job but here's what I think about okay I wonder what the people for example in China who were running out of running our country because of their willingness to finance and I wonder what they think of when they see the United States of America. Ice glazed over just staring at screen have to screen about Tiger Woods in New Zealand will they won't they may they are the things he -- good sponsor -- what about. What about this bimbo a lot about that -- at this time I'd ask himself -- how serious a nation is really don't care how and why would they care for Sunnis getting married they just send this money who Fiat and that and that's to -- it's not just on finance. It's on the economy it's on military preparation and dominance so here's the New -- thanks."

" Tiger Woods sitting at a table -- Chinese restaurant you know one of those red puffy. Lounge chair kind of Burbank catchy sing -- he's got all this Chinese who just piled all the -- on he's got the chopsticks and standings and pushing in his mouth Lisa -- charter awards and I have a voracious appetite and lots of different heiress half including Chinese took a day here at WRQ hi there insane."

" Hey guys they do and do. Let's say the reason why -- NFL this story is because I feel like you're not an additional. There's too stupid to really understand their new blood did health care reform. But the new wanted of these other more sophisticated -- this is what they get."

" I disagree only 36% of Americans support the president's health care plan. I think they're pretty sharp."

" While they're there there's there's smart not self support the plan. But they don't understand the new blood is that -- inside baseball. That would stop the -- and congrats -- both -- story."

" So people understand infidelity and it'll. And that's the basis of which that that the base level understanding the people -- that's what the story."

" I was and they got the age -- those -- the age old failings that have always I suppose drawn our attention to the people who -- perceived as being. Better than the rest of us for somehow for some reason either based upon talent or ability or achievement we have the -- pedestals of achievement. And then they fall fallen angels and that's what type -- and then I would still argues -- and instructive I think Dave's right that it's low threshold injury that gets people involved but there's also something about. Having a public discussion about issues that we don't talk about in -- and orient it with friends you don't talk about general. And you don't talk about in public what goes on -- people's private lives when you have a guy who opens that up survey can talk about it obviously there's a pent up demand. And that's why these stories guy gets so much mileage I don't think it's a waste and all. John you're on WRK atomic taught here."

" It nor are -- into what they do not end anyway worrying. Tires and fidelity whatsoever. -- You know I don't think anybody really put a robotic moral pedestal because -- never did anything wrong but people look bad that way. But -- out I have inside information on who you're sponsors going to be. Even if you're gonna be doing a trillion man."

" Yeah -- up."

" I -- make a minute let me any new commitments they're gonna kick bad playing god."

" July I think that's a great idea and a ceiling is glass -- kinda creative thinking that people Johnson should be an -- she's tough and hot hot hot grill on top on Madison -- 172666860. You have to go with the flow to anti American society works whatever you believe on Monday. Tuesday the world has changed so dramatically your obsolete. That's a tough is incredible power world works in Tiger Woods argue is set governments who we are why are we talking about him you might ask."

" Stay on top mobile world. Burglars they don't come we have been and -- good -- That is good news your weather forecast plus how come I can -- in 3 September is the full five day and on TV that take up the whole newscast talking about --"

" Tiger Woods -- less -- tiger -- I'm -- it's up to ease the weather go to tiger come back do the other welcome back to tiger then do the big -- then close a little tiger half half half a he got it. Does the whole show. That's is that whole show it's easy confronting at all from the national people think I guess are we crazy -- obsession among -- we always do something good there absolutely no we're crazy about. We're crazy about it we're insane with juvenile about it it's insane I've never understood the whole golf thing but I think he's an important figure in that he's so popular so well known. So well respected and you have to say to yourself. Why do we believe these story lines one of the things that we try to break I think out of people's psyches. Is this acceptance of story lines that have been handed down subliminally and we don't realize we own them for example. Democrats are the party of thought compassion. And empathy. Is complete. Nonsense says there's there's hateful and ruthless and the Republicans are. And there is devious and dirty in their dealings now we're all but I am anyway trying to break that story line out of people's minds all the time let's deal in reality. Not nonsense and that thing I like about the Tiger -- story is it gets us out of the nonsense -- was nonsense to think that because of the way tiger locked in the way he spoke. That he was a certain kind of person America made the same mistake -- Barack Obama they -- because he was area died in the way he spoke. That does somehow he would be a great president because he was young and handsome and black. That somehow we represented."

" Change their number story -- I mean is it there was also just complete fatigue with George Bush that's on the Barack Obama I don't think that anybody no matter how big a Tiger Woods fan. Anybody had him on some type of -- Moral pedestal what we we we I should not we would not aware of this private -- father not had a beautiful wife stand -- to kids but that he was really do you world's best golf. Day in day out the world's best golf out of them that we knew nothing now old Izzo Todd -- you know much but we believe things. Well this. This an image that you take from a clean cut -- take any -- I play it's an image guess that's holidays and we'll -- audience of the editorial rights are what you see a lot. Did you take any moral guidance or inspiration from tiger what's."

" Nothing from Tiger Woods but the point I'm -- make is if Barack Obama look like a troll. Hope and change would not have been the big -- last time I write a tall dark and handsome more hot hot hot hot rich -- at W are you good morning profit."

" editorial director the other day can almost -- but it. Government media complex. Appealed to the lowest common denominator and they use -- these very titillating stories as a distraction from the real world. -- the real situation Holland Washington."

" When the when you were you would take them TV networks for example which I I talked about how NBC news fled their newscast with Tiger Woods last night a real real non story that. One of his sponsors dropped him. And they they're not doing that because anyone's telling them to other than the fact that they know they're gonna get good ratings if they run with tiger."

" He ever they still believe -- the government -- complex and that they need is distractions they can just all one Elton pomp and public culpability. Nothing. You your work."

" And if you're seeing an interesting theory is like the president called off tiger I'm sorry. But I need -- now for our water jam this discussing health care package or I can't have people paying attention we're gonna hang you out to -- can catch. We've got eleven -- just cubs where assigning them to you thirteen thirteen thirteen demos are incredibly volatile we're setting the photo now see I -- the Clinton -- was studying all of those over the young. Plus Iran and it's all inside your morning that's. Todd Todd hey it is he had -- the breast cells they know but I can't tell -- about bridge is another six months now I tell you about genetic opt out how. --"

" That's always you guys have an excellent rate -- talk radio appeals to the informed political -- not to the gossip -- And the politicians always celebrate when it when that when that gossip drug junkies are occupied -- and pull the wool over their eyes."

" And they have to demonize talk radio because informed people. Are the enemies of the Democrats. Can't thank you -- always get a good you good to get your observation democrats' weakness -- Where these modules to our people vote for Democrats know. Uneducated and college educated people or for Democrats -- the most done for people there are I. Tony you're next on WR -- fabulously unemployment with a Ph.D. yes that's right yeah and Donald are high the -- got hi Tony may Tony what's going on."

" But tonight the Tiger -- want to break -- this strike -- What -- break we'll chaebol."

" And I thought about it."

" That they can make a comment about your first hour on this stimulus. You vote no because I have a case. Stimulus interrupt edge you know. I just. I. Started slightly irritate you want to buy US. You saw this beautiful blonde that the but -- no -- c'mon at 1 o'clock in the -- say oh my god what is this. You know that's what distinguished brought up program."

" Up that's a good intelligent. Do you follow recent I think -- think this -- gorgeous all night but then it's it's closing time they do last call eternal polite as you say oh my good times painful yes that is."

" Think this country had to be a case of buyers were."

" You all day with the whole Obama administration good point there. Might Euro on good morning to you --"

" Yeah I started -- start -- don't my good morning. Very good the -- Understated sort Tiger -- the most intriguing story is ours are concerned. -- what happened to that guy that. Just privacy above all thanks. He push -- around him. Eighty Bob Hope that Norwood got a penetration. Dish can't eat food as a matter of their alleged quote -- polish after the turn of Stevie Williams had two things to do to cure is called -- they lead the program. So again and playing in the back zoomed grow at double -- that was our roots. Contract. Yet another contract to. I think your golf course post earlier about bush finished secrecy and security would be our deep throat. Include Jerry who fall in treat me so -- trichet. You know it can happen to anybody."

" Well listen you it's not like he fell accidentally. He fell through deliberate conscious acts that were outrageous right."

" Right tribal -- is DPP ETS ELS cancer look I. You know -- couldn't fall but securing quite sure crush them restore protective he thought he could go to be -- get away with it and there was -- would be the."

" Yeah but is security can only do so much when you involve another person as by definition near envoy here and and adulterous relationship. In this case 111213. However many and a number but. Does that many people out that you security got muzzle one of them women did and."

" Interview on the Internet you sit around chatting with a couple other women I don't know what the whole thing was but she talked freely they call one of my guys is Tiger Woods who shot and how many people can you hold in advance but. -- tiger also had power in the power was that the media which is supposed to tell his bad stories. Is making a ton of money off of they don't wanna lose the golden goal so late to cover up for a don't wanna Lucy -- don't wanna lose the oxygen and then there is so way I think he had a right to expect that he was gonna be able to continue get away with this because the whole world. Was laughing at his issues interest and find out in the end how this came to -- his wife evens attention because rim where Rudolph began to melt down obviously is. She became aware of something she became suspicious about something why don't -- it's our with our broad and -- the -- Democrats -- because of the crash and she was she'd been going through. He is his phone messages and phone calls. He makes a couple of desperate call -- hate change in number and delete bonus you don't have your the very near and don't I don't -- I'll find your answer exactly. Because my wife has been going through my phone big favor you know basically was the a phone call -- they've had -- extra phones. You -- you know I have an -- make calls to all you know thank you Jack in the Box order foodstuff and that you go to mad about is either -- 6172666. He would succeed in your next NW RKO."

" Big guys I don't pay you what's up it says one -- reason why this happened because it's cleavage. It but he conceded he -- paper and there is bang you're gonna by the paper guys are anyway so they -- a bimbo right on the front page don't look around my remote. I thought -- saw the immediate Tiger Woods for about 32."

" It's like let's stick -- audience remote this remote stops at -- it's I don't know -- there's a cardiovascular. Slots went on his side channel. I -- I really. I just think maybe it's may but I prefer cleavage that who is god made a fashion as opposed to surgically induced. And there when I see those bulging bubbles of silicon I lose interest opt opt out hiking movement maybe it's just made Joe good morning Jim are loyal. --"

" According."

" You're quite -- black -- Internet unit half patient's -- one or why. With the rest being what made America -- we were well."

" why are just don't know what else to call on me he looks black to me what should I call. Multi racial racial."

" The next week going to turn himself all applications -- be a big part Caucasian feel for black diet for NBA and then fusion. I wonder why white Asian American. Belt -- had -- been. -- look at media. Because it black -- we don't want ownership of about."

" No I think when you see him you see a vodka."

" he is exotic blocking but his main features he looks like an African American doesn't ya I know I might -- I think that most people would instantly instantly say African American. And recognize that in that term. -- my god how many shades out. From the lightest of light to the blackest of black that all of that is encompassed in the term African American. And that in the history is we've read a little history about Michelle Obama a couple of months ago. Flow mode her dissent that she's the descendant of slaves and that there was into racial. Packed sexual activity in all the rest of that stuff and that's that's that's the story of America like it or not it does no sense glossy and all the and SI mean the story about Tiger Woods a -- it is. It's really suffocated I think I think most sensible Americans. And yet the news media keep but I keep without. This is the age old story Cuban following the fall from grace we're all -- is a dark side. There is silly things inappropriate things we've all done at different times and don't want this one. Becomes intriguing only because he loses -- iconic just iconic he is apps that he was the absolute iconic. Athlete of the world for me the story is what makes us believe good things about somebody we have no reasonably good things about just because we want to and I think that's human nature to want to believe good things about how happy I agree that is -- that is probably human nature I think -- to send the -- because can you imagine if we went through life looking at everybody that we meet and work with. Engage with and some form or another as if the horrible human beings as it -- treacherous lecherous. Terrible folks that data -- blue negative way to go through life --"

" Hello it's John from. Okay."

" How are you Johnny. Welcome back taught you -- would like fine thank you you're welcome I just wanna read it they know and I'm not racist that it -- to write about --"

" Don't you get your fill up these -- opportunity -- John S and part of -- experience. Everybody dance. Just go home claims on its common side 680 W -- yeah."
