00:00A lot of news coming from the Ryder Cup. It obviously started with President Trump being

00:05announced that he is going to be headed to Bethpage Black for all the action. It's already

00:12in the on U.S. home soil. So do you think that this is more added pressure on Team USA? Or could

00:18this actually be part of the home court advantage? I don't think it's extra pressure, Brandon. You

00:25know, listen, everybody knows, you know, Trump likes to be at the big event and, and be

00:30visible. So, you know, I think it just adds to the pomp and circumstance that we already

00:37have here. And, you know, Ryder Cups in general, are the biggest events in golf. And, you know,

00:44I think, you know, I stated when we did this, you know, interview the year that, you know,

00:50yesterday, I want to say that, you know, this is this, I think this is going to be the biggest

00:55biggest event in golf history. I mean, in terms of the volume and the interest and whatnot.

01:00So, you know, having Trump there just ratchets it up, having a sitting president sitting there

01:04in the first tee, the interesting dynamic, and I spoke to a guy named Brian Carnes, who's

01:10the championship director here, just kind of about the security issues. And in terms of

01:16when Trump's going to come, because if he comes on Friday morning for the for the beginning

01:22of the of the matches, the first balls are in the air at at 710 in the morning. And

01:27he's going to be sitting on that first tee, where there's, you know, thousands of seats

01:31for spectators. The question is, what, you know, with Secret Service and whatnot, can

01:37everybody actually actually get in at that hour of the morning if the president's, you

01:40know, going to be in there. So, you know, if I'm not mistaken, the US Open tennis was

01:44delayed, the final men's final. And there were a lot of issues getting people into the stadium,

01:49you know, at the US Tennis Center. So it's my understanding that I think there's been a

01:56recommendation to him in the Secret Service that he come in the afternoon session. Now,

02:01nobody really knows for sure other than him when he's going to show up. So I think logistically,

02:07it could be a nightmare if it's if he comes on Friday morning. I think if he comes Friday

02:12afternoon, you know, it'll be a lot easier, you know, to get him in and out of here in terms

02:17of, you know, Secret Service and security and the fans will already be in here.
