On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck dives into the chaotic new reality of Trump’s second term — one defined by self-interest, spectacle, and staggering corruption. As the president literally tears down the East Wing of the White House to build a grander event space, Chuck explores how the optics reflect a leader consumed by vanity rather than governance. From meme coin millions and Gulf state real estate deals to the blatant abuse of the pardon power, the episode unpacks how Trump has turned the presidency into a personal profit machine. With billions made, laws bent, and supporters still loyal, the question looms: is there any line Trump can cross that will finally cost him his base?

As the president literally tears down the East Wing of the White House to build a grander event space, Chuck explores how the optics reflect a leader consumed by vanity rather than governance. From meme coin millions and Gulf state real estate deals to the blatant abuse of the pardon power, the episode unpacks how Trump has turned the presidency into a personal profit machine. With billions made, laws bent, and supporters still loyal, the question looms: is there any line Trump can cross that will finally cost him his base? Then, sports journalist and professor J.A. Adande joins Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging conversation on how money, media, and power are reshaping the world of sports. From the Big Ten’s potential $2 billion private equity deal to the rise of The Athletic and the collapse of local sports coverage, Adande explains how financial literacy has become essential for sports reporters — and why sports journalism remains one of the few thriving corners of the media industry. They dig into how gambling, influencer culture, and social media are transforming how fans consume sports — and how shows like Around the Horn and PTI paved the way for today’s single-voice, personality-driven debate model. Adande also reflects on the increased diversity in sports media, the tension between advocacy and escapism, and why issues like Latino discrimination and trans inclusion in sports are becoming defining cultural flashpoints. He also explains why the sports world has gotten out of the social justice advocacy business… and likely won’t be coming back. It’s a candid look at how sports coverage mirrors — and sometimes predicts — the shifts happening across American journalism. Finally, he answers listener’s questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and gives his weekend college football preview. Got injured in an accident?

DSC's Campfires with Larry WeishuhnColor-Phase Bears, Big Black Bruisers & a Day at Stealth Vision (with Dr. Mike Arnold)Episode Summary Pull up a chair—Larry welcomes friend and wildlife biologist Dr. Mike Arnold back to the fire to swap spring bear stories from British Columbia and Alberta, break down color-phase genetics, and nerd out on long-range Stealth Vision optics at company HQ in Crockett, Texas. From barge rides over 600-foot glacial lakes and logging-road stalks to a rain-soaked recovery on a 400-pound boar, this one's packed with fieldcraft, gear talk, and camp-style laughs. 00:00 – Welcome & Sponsors Larry sets the table and welcomes Dr. Mike back to the mic. 01:28 – Mike's British Columbia Spot-and-Stalk • Camp access by barge across a deep, glacial lake; days spent glassing logging roads • Goal: a color-phase bear (“cinnamon/chocolate”)—and finding one! • Tracking with wind in the face, slipping off the road into a small burn, and re-locating the bear at ~60 yards • Shot with a .338 Federal (MG Arms ultralight) on quad sticks; double-lung hit, short dash, quick finish • Daily bear sightings (including a grizzly boar and sow), plus moose, mule deer—and elk moving back into the area 13:00 – Larry's Alberta Hunt (Bait, Ground Level, Big Boar) • A cagey black bear that “checks the blind” finally slips up—Larry hunts from the ground instead • Raining hard, light is terrible; Stealth Vision SVT 3-18×44 with lit reticle makes the difference • Mossberg .308 on loan from Brad Fenson, Hornady Precision Hunter ammo; quartering shot, short 35-step recovery • Estimated ~400-lb spring boar with a “weightlifter's neck” 18:30 – Why So Many Color-Phase Bears? • Dr. Mike's genetics take: small historical populations can “fix” color variants in a region • Western/interior populations show more blondes, cinnamons, and chocolates; coastal/eastern tend to be black • Forestry practices and green-up patterns boost bear numbers; grizzlies abundant but not generally huntable there (outside First Nation harvest) 22:30 – Range Day at Stealth Vision HQ (Crockett, TX) • Inside look at Stealth Vision's “top-tier or nothing” approach with Dr. John McCall and Joe Cunningham • The integrated cant indicator (“green bubble”)—no more flipping to a separate level at long range • Pushing to 1,000+ yards; how smart engineering for the human eye improves clarity, speed, and precision • Anecdotes on extreme consistency—tiny groups at 500 yards and beyond 33:05 – Looking Ahead • Saskatchewan plans (good color-phase odds), plus a visit to Choctaw Hunting Lodge on the horizon • Camp closes with thanks and an open invite to gather again next week Rifles & Calibers: • MG Arms Ultralight – .338 Federal (Dr. Mike) • Mossberg – .308 Win (Larry, loaner from Brad Fenson) Optics: • Stealth Vision SVT 3-18×44 (illuminated reticle, integrated cant indicator) Ammunition: • Hornady Precision Hunter (ELD-X) Hunt Styles: • Spot-and-stalk (BC); Baited (Alberta) Wildlife Notes: • Frequent black bear sightings, grizzly pair, moose; elk recolonizing pockets of BC • Color-phase frequency in parts of BC ~25–30% (per outfitter estimates) “It's easy to shoot too high on bears—know the anatomy.

IAAPA Expo 2025, happening in Orlando, Florida, from November 17th through 21st.

Don't miss it — we won't!   Running a modern trampoline or adventure park isn't as simple as “put trampolines in a warehouse and open the doors” anymore. Operators juggle guest expectations, evolving tech stacks, labor realities, and the need to turn first-time visitors into loyal fans. In this conversation, Matt and Josh surface practical solutions with a live panel—Phillip Howell (Best American Trampolines), Greg Spittle (ROLLER), and Brandon Willey (Intelliplay)—covering design, data, kiosks vs. people, post-visit marketing, gamification, and AI. In this episode, Phillip, Greg, and Brandon share how the trampoline park model has matured and what tech-enabled moves will define the next five years. From Warehouses to Polished, Parent-Friendly Parks “We were going into warehouses… 10 to 15,000 square feet of actual trampolines… no party rooms, no decoration on the wall.” Early parks were bare-bones. Today, Phillip emphasizes warm, inviting environments: clean sightlines, framed netting, wrinkle-free pads, murals, and real seating and TVs for parents. The aesthetic isn't vanity - it sets the perceived cleanliness and quality bar the moment guests walk in. Match Online Promises with Onsite Reality “That upfront experience needs to match the experience when I walk through the door.” Brandon flags a common miss: aspirational websites and social feeds that don't reflect the actual facility. Greg adds that outdated online checkout flows lose guests before they arrive. Align visuals and copy with the real experience, and make the digital path to purchase smooth. Before–During–After: Design the Whole Journey “There's a bit of technology in every piece of that journey.” Before the visit: modern web and frictionless online booking. During the visit: clear wayfinding, staffed self-service kiosks (never kiosks alone), and trained team members who intercept stress and upsell thoughtfully. After the visit: structured follow-ups—survey, intercept negative feedback before it hits Google, and segmented re-engagement. Kiosks Need Humans “You can't just leave the kiosks out there and expect success.” Automation works best with people in the loop. The winning model pairs one well-trained team member with multiple kiosks to guide choices, protect the experience, and enable upsells… without leaving a 16-year-old “on an island.” Own the Post-Visit Moment (and the Data) “Trampoline parks have a massive advantage. You have mandatory waivers… it's marketing data.” Use waivers to power segmentation: birthday clubs (30–45 days out), membership offers, and interest-based campaigns. Greg notes birthday bookings often happen ~3 weeks in advance, so time your messages. Automate when possible, but always deliver genuine value in every send. Wearables & Gamification Drive Repeat Visits “After the bands were in place, repeat visitation went up to 78%.” Intelliplay's wristbands track activity, show session status (green to red), reduce PA “time's up” moments, and fuel leaderboards. With demographic data and in-park behavior, operators can create attraction-specific events (e.g., dodgeball nights) and reward systems that keep families coming back. Clean Lines = Clean Minds “You see a wrinkled pad and it looks dirty.” Optics shape reviews. Details like pad tension, framed netting, and tidy sightlines communicate safety and care, prevent “dirty” perceptions that damage ratings even when facilities are spotless. AI Now & Next: Practical, Not Hype “AI is still in its infancy… but options matter.” Today: load SOPs into a private assistant for staff training and guest FAQs; use AI for campaign ideation and drafting. Tomorrow: agentic AI will act on your data, building and running segmented campaigns, surfacing decisions from noise, and personalizing in-park and post-visit experiences. Humans stay central; AI reduces drudgery. Operator Priorities That Don't Change “What's driving my revenue, costs, and guest experience?” Greg's three pillars: Revenue engines (birthday parties remain foundational; memberships rising). Costs (especially labor forecasting by day/week/season). Guest experience (measure, intercept, and improve). Brandon adds: audit your attraction mix and secret shop your own venue regularly, end to end. The Park of the Near Future “Immersive, gamified, personalized.” Expect lighting tied to activity, unified scoring across attractions, persistent profiles, and app-based rewards that feel like arcade redemption—physical prizes today, digital skins tomorrow. Most of all: keep experimenting; iterate quickly, learn, and evolve.   What tech or tactics have moved the needle most in your venue: kiosks, leaderboards, birthday automation, staff training tools, or something else?

To put this into perspective, US Debt-to-GDP has averaged ~69% over the last 50 years. The CBO projects that the budget deficit will exceed 5% of GDP every year until 2055. In US history, deficits this high have only occurred for 5-straight years one time, during World War II. The US debt crisis is set to get even worse. Worst Revision In History: BLS Admits A Record 911K Fewer Jobs Were Added  Two weeks ago, before both Bloomberg and Reuters, we told our subscribers to "brace for another huge negative payrolls revision"...   BLS reported that as part of its preliminary annual benchmark revisions, a record 911K payrolls for the period April 2024-March 2025 would be revised away     last year's stunning 818K negative revision, which was the second biggest since the global financial crisis (and which we also warned ahead of time was coming), virtually nobody expected this year's number to be higher. It was not only higher, but it was the biggest negative revision on record!  fake jobs numbers that were "created" by the Biden admin, and saddled Trump with relentless negative revisions. Expect 1-2 more months of painful job prints, and then another powerful rally higher into the 2026 midterms under a new BLS commissioner as all of Biden's fake baggage is expunged. Trump was absolutely correct to fire the BLS commissioner one month ago: one year of major negative revisions is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action... and in her case, it was just unexcusable incompetence as the most important economic data point the market uses was dead wrong. There was virtually no domestic job creation in the last year of the Biden admin when one excludes the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who entered the work force. The Fed should have started cutting rates in February, and would have started cutting rates in February if it knew the true sad state of the US labor market. Just as remarkable: 2 million jobs from the last 3 years of the Biden admin have now been revised away.  Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1965430039681663323 Lacalle: The Fed Caused High Inflation And The Current Jobs Slump  Both the recent spike in inflation and the current decline in US jobs are, in a very significant way,
