14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: we do want to start on this Friday Morning Run

15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: with this. Former FBI director James Comy is under federal

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: investigation over a photo of seashells he posted on Instagram.

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: Problem with the photo, it's being interpreted as a threat

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: to the life of President Trump.

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Meantime, President Trump is heading home from his tour of

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: the Middle East, bringing back some lucrative souvenirs for the

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: country to the tune of a trillion dollars or so.

22
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: And it's day five of Seawan Didtycomb's trial and the

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: final day of gripping testimony from Star Witness and Ditty

24
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: x Cassie Ventura.

25
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: Also on the run this morning, Smokey Robinson now being

26
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: criminally investigated for sexual assault. This is days after four

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: women filed a fifty million dollar lawsuit accusing the Motown

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Legend of being a serial rapist. Also this morning, a

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: condemned killer was asked if he had any last words

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: before his execution. He did, It was a shout out

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: to President Trump, and.

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: There may be fewer blue Light specials in the future.

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: Walmart announcing higher prices are headed our way, pointing directly

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: at Trump's tariffs.

35
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: And also on the run this morning, turns out men

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: are twice as likely to die of a broken heart

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: than women. This is my favorite story of the day,

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: but I thought it was more in men's favor, but

39
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: it actually is a knock against us as well. Will explain.

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, y'all just don't get broken hearts very often.

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: That's not oh, will explain.

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Stop cannot wait to get into that. So many interesting

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: stories on the run today, including our first one. Because

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: we begin our run on the beach, former FBI director

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: James Comy under investigation after posting a beach photo that

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: several Trump Administration officials deemed a very serious threat against

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: President Trump. So what exactly was in that photo?

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Just some shells, a shell formation on the beach in particular.

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Now he's deleted the Instagram post, but it's being described

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: as that just a shell formation on a beach. That

51
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: sounds beautiful. What is the problem, Well, here is the problem. Robes.

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: Those shells were arranged to form the numbers eight six

53
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: four seven. Still I'm going hmm, what's the problem here? Well,

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: eight six, let's break it down. People often say that's

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: eighty six that you're saying you want to get rid

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: of something. So that was the first part.

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Eight six, yes, and for seven is a way to

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: commonly refer to President Trump, as in the forty seventh

59
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: president of the United States. So instead of reading the

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: numbers eight six four seven, read eighty six forty seven.

61
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: That is how they've been interpreted.

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: So Homeland Security Secretary Christy nom posted this on x

63
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: in response to Comy's post. Disgraced former FBI Director James

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: Comy just called for the assassination of POTUS. DHS and

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: Secret Service are investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.

66
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: And yes, the Secret Service did release a statement saying

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: the agency takes rhetoric like Comy's very seriously and that

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: it vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: potential threat to the president. Current FBI Director Cash Pttel

70
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: also chimed in, saying his agency would provide all necessary

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: support in this investigation.

72
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: Now, after removing his original post, Comy put up a

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: follow up post where he denied making a threat.

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: Here's what he said.

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: Occurred to me, but I opposed violence of any kind,

77
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: So I took the post down.

78
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: By that that's almost reasonable, perhaps, so we'll get into it.

79
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: But eighty six forty seven has actually been something that

80
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: has been on t shirts and on posters for people

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: wanting the removal of as in getting rid of President

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: Trump from the presidency, not killing him. But eighty six

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: you can eighty six something. It can be taken in

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: both ways. So administration officials, Republicans, Trump allies, you might imagine,

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: all jumped on the former FBI director, who, by the way,

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: in case you don't remember, was fired by Trump back

87
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen while he was investigating whether associates of

88
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: Trump coordinated with Russia to interfere in the twenty sixteen elections,

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: So there's significant beef between these two.

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got some history in the White House, and

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: just about everybody with President Trump pounced on this. The

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: Deputy Chief of Staff tweeted that Komy's post can clearly

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: be interpreted as a hit on the sitting president of

94
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: the United States. The Director of National Intelligence, Toulci Gabbert

95
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: says she thinks Comy should be in jail because of

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: the post, and then Donald Trump Junior chiming on social

97
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: media saying, oh, just James Comy casually calling for my

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: dad to be murdered.

99
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: Yes, there were some very extreme reaction, and we'd be

100
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: here all morning if we told you about what everybody

101
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: had to say. But it is colorful and it is powerful,

102
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: many referring, of course, to the actual assassination attempts made

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: on President Trump last year in both Butler, Pennsylvania and

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: Palm Beach, Florida. So I don't think this is going

105
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: away anytime soon.

106
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: People are very very upset about that.

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: It's too bad that this is where we are, that

108
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: he should have probably known better. But also folks on

109
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the other side. We also should be able to look

110
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: at it and go, Okay, let's we get.

111
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: What he was saying could be interpreted two ways.

112
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: But it be given where we are and given what

113
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: we've seen, that something like that could be interpreted as

114
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: something violent and calling for violence. It sucks that that's

115
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: where we are.

116
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: But I mean, in reality, he has faced two assassination

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: attempts already. So it's a sensitive it's a very sensitive matter.

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Probably known better, probably known better. All Right, we continue

119
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: a run here on this Friday morning with Yes, President Trump.

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: He's on his way home this morning at that four day,

121
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: three nation tour of the Middle East, and he's coming

122
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: back with a whole lot more than he left with.

123
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: Don't you do this? We do this on vacation. I say,

124
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: we shouldn't overpack on the way because we're going to

125
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: find stuff we want and bring back, and we got

126
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: a space for it. Right, So Trump needs a lot

127
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: of space on Air Force one to put all this

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: cash he's supposed to be bringing back. Yes, we got

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: stacks of deals, agreements, and investments on this trip.

130
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: He had the goal of securing a trillion dollars worth

131
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: of investments, and it's hard to keep up with all

132
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: the numbers, but they were rolling in and it appears

133
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: that he reached his goal.

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: Maybe he even doubled his goal. That's pretty remarkable.

135
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: After stops in Saudi Arabia Qatar, President Trump wrapped in

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: the UAE all with the business roundtable and a lot

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: of signed deals.

138
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: I think it's the one I think I might have

139
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: seen Forbes. Their estimate was two trillion, two tricks. They

140
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: added it up. That was pretty remarkable. We'll see if

141
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: all that money comes. Of course, these are just on

142
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: paper at the time, but still it's a lot of

143
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: deal making that he did on this trip. We want

144
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: to continue our run back and though well, this leg

145
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: brings us right back home down here to Lower Manhappen,

146
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: where the trial of Diddy continues and Casey Ventura is

147
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: expected to wrap her testimony in the Didty trial today. She,

148
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: of course, the prosecution star witness in the case against

149
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Sean Diddycomb.

150
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: Yes, Ventura spent another five plus hours under cross examination yesterday.

151
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: This is her third day.

152
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: With Comb's defense team, trying to turn the tables and

153
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: show that she was not just a willing but an

154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: enthusiastic participant in those so called freak offs that she,

155
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: they say, even initiated at times. There was a lot

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: of focus on text messages between Cassie and Didty, and

157
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: the defense had her read her own words in the courtroom.

158
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just a few of these will give you

159
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: now two thousand and eight. A text she wrote, I'm

160
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: a very lucky woman. I miss you so much. I'd

161
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: fly wherever you needed me whenever. I love you. Another

162
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: from two thousand and nine quote I'm always ready to

163
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: freak off. Another talking about those freak offs, she said,

164
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be uncontrollable. And then one more

165
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: here from twenty thirteen, wish we could have fo'd before

166
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: you left, meaning freak off before you left.

167
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: And another major revelation from Ventura yesterday, she said Comb's

168
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: overdosed in twenty twelve and had to be taken to

169
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: the hospital.

170
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: She said this.

171
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: Happened after a party at the Playboy mansion. Then to

172
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: our testified, he had said that he'd taken a very

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: strong opiate, but they didn't know what was happening, so

174
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: she took him to the hospital.

175
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Also yesterday, the defense suggested that that now infamous video

176
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: of Comb's assaulting venturer in that La Hotel might have

177
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: been Comb's having a drug withdrawal. Ventiro testified that she

178
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: believed he was addicted to opiates at that time. So

179
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: the suggestion they were trying to say is that he

180
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: was out of his mind. He was not doing well.

181
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: It was their way of kind of I don't want

182
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: to say downplay, but at least softening ex explaining his behavior.

183
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: And now she's to be back on the stand today,

184
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: but she's expected to be done by lunch because frankly,

185
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: she's about to pop.

186
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: H That is so true.

187
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: Ventura is eight and a half months pregnant, and the

188
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: prosecutor told the judge yesterday we're afraid she could have

189
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: the baby over the weekend. We want her off the

190
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: stand before the weekend. And look, any woman who is

191
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: pregnant knows if you put yourself in any kind of

192
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: stressful situation, any doctor will tell you that can lead

193
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: to an early labor, that can lead to complications. So

194
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: it's remarkable that she's put herself in the position, or

195
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: even allowed herself to be in the position, to have

196
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: to go through and relive this trauma.

197
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: We should credit she was very probably yesterday was the

198
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: least emotional day of testimony for her. She was very calm.

199
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: The back and forth with her in the defense attorney

200
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: was described as very cordial. Somebody described they even sounded

201
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: like friends having a conversation at one point. So it wasn't,

202
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: as I know, the information is stressful, but it wasn't.

203
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Necessarily it's combative day.

204
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: And I'm blown away by that, just because again I've

205
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: been pregnant twice and wow, women will I'll just say

206
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: I am already an emotional person when I was pregnant.

207
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 3: You can go ahead and make that tenfold.

208
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I hate I missed that baby. We will continue here

209
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: on this Friday morning. Another legal situation that seems to

210
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: be escalating, this one we're talking about now, is Smokey Robinson.

211
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: It is no longer just a civil matter for him.

212
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: The La County Sheriff confirms they have opened a criminal

213
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: investigation into sexual assault allegations against the Motown legend.

214
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

215
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: Last week, four women filed a fifty million dollar lawsuit

216
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: against Smokey and the Jane does All once worked for

217
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: Robinson between two thousand and six and twenty twenty four

218
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: at his La home, and they claim that.

219
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 3: He sexually assaulted them.

220
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: Two of the women claim he raped them on more

221
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: than twenty occasions.

222
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Sheriff's office is now saying they are actively

223
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: investigating the allegations. Robinson has denied the allegations against him

224
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: and said the lawsuit was a money grap and.

225
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: In response to news of the criminal investigation, here's what

226
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: robinson attorney had to say. They said they welcome the investigation,

227
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 2: which involves plaintiffs who continue to hide their identities because

228
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: exposure to the truth is a powerful thing. He goes

229
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: on to say, this is an attempt to prejudice public

230
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: opinion and make even more of a media circus. His

231
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: attorney said this was nothing more than a manufactured lawsuit.

232
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: But well, the LA DA's office doesn't think it was

233
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: just that.

234
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: Isn't this what happened. It wasn't this a didty.

235
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: This is exactly what happened to Diddy.

236
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: Right, there was a civil lawsuit and next thing you.

237
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: Know, criminal charges or a criminal investigation follows.

238
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, all right, folks, stay with us

239
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: here on this Friday morning run. When we come back,

240
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: do you have any final words? A death row inmate

241
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: was asked that question. His answer ended up being a

242
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: shout out to President Trump. Also, a company known for

243
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: its low prices says it has to raise prices now

244
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: because of tariffs and men and women. Everybody listen up.

245
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: Men suffer greater from broken hearts than women do. I'll explain.

246
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: All right, We continue now on this Friday morning run.

247
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: And last night, a convicted serial killer used his last

248
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: words before his execution to speak to President Trump. Sixty

249
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: two year old Glenn Rodgers died by lethal injection in Florida.

250
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: He was known as the Casanova Killer. They said this

251
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: because he was in his younger day. He was a

252
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: handsome man, and that's why they called him this any

253
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: kind of but flirted with the women.

254
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: He lured them in with his good luck.

255
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: So he was called the Casanova Killer. But he had

256
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: this to say. He was strapped to an execution table.

257
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: This is the last words anybody's gonna ever hear, you

258
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: speak on Earth and Robes. What did he decide to

259
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: go with?

260
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: This is what Rogers said, President Trump, keep making America great.

261
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: I'm ready to go.

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: What the actual hell?

263
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: Well, And that's exactly what everyone who witnessed the execution

264
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: had to say. Seriously, you actually mimicked almost word for

265
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: word what everyone said. Well, there was immediate reaction from

266
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: the witnesses in the room, including several family members of

267
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: his victims, who all said they were confused, and this is.

268
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: Where you got really close.

269
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: Roger's own wife was present in the room as well,

270
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: and she told reporters afterwards that she thought, this, what

271
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: the hell.

272
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: I actually didn't see that ahead of signin what the hell?

273
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: And so you almost said exactly what his own wife

274
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: said after he said that to President Trump.

275
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: You've been fascinated by this story for the past twenty

276
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: four hours, or with this since you you do want

277
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: to point this out.

278
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh, this was just I mean, you hate to say

279
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: this is my favorite story of to day, but it

280
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: is one of the more fascinating ones.

281
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: He did express lover his family and told the victims'

282
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: family members, I promise you in the near future, questions

283
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: will be answered, and I hope in some way we'll

284
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: bring you closure. He was executed for the nineteen ninety

285
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: five murder of one of four single mothers in their thirties,

286
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: all described as having reddish hair. He reportedly charmed them again,

287
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: like you said, with his good looks that's what I

288
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: was called the castanover killer. But he stabbed these women

289
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: to death.

290
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in one case he stabbed and then like

291
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: this burned her body like this was a These were terrible,

292
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: heinous crimes. And get this, Rogers claimed. He told police,

293
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 2: and he said this out loud, that he's killed more

294
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: than seventy people in his life in total. Police weren't

295
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: able to confirm that, but they were able to connect

296
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: him to five murders and there could be more, but

297
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: certainly was a serial killer. And one of the victim's

298
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: family members said, he's about the evilest thing I've ever imagined.

299
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: So it was just a bizarre way to end his

300
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: life with those final words. And yes, when you hear

301
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: what the reporters saying, he was strapped to the execution

302
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: gurney as he.

303
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: Was saying this. He said, Trump on his mind, and

304
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: had Trump on his mind?

305
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: What are they you were going through? And I guess

306
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: we know final words often or an apolog or a prayer,

307
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: something to God.

308
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: Something to their family, repentance. You know, all of these things.

309
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: You expect something emotional or something at least appropriate.

310
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: This one seemed out of left field.

311
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on our run. How now this morning,

312
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: and this, folks, is not a good sign for our economy.

313
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: Even Walmart is about to raise prices. Walmart, Yes, always

314
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: low prices, always that Walmart.

315
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: Blue Light special Walmart Mart Yes.

316
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: Executives announced yesterday they expect customers will start seeing higher

317
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: prices by the end of this month and certainly by

318
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: next month. And yeah, they say Trump's tariffs are to blame.

319
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: Walmart CEO put it this way. We will do our

320
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: best to keep our prices as low as possible, but

321
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels,

322
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: we aren't able to absorb all the pressure.

323
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: Walmart, of course, the largest retailer in the world, has

324
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: built its business on the model of low prices. So

325
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: this is taking rob There's really an ominous sign for

326
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: the economy. This is a company and they are so

327
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: financially in good shape they should be able to absorb

328
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff and do if they are even

329
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: saying it. If it happens to them, it's gonna happen

330
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: to everybody. This is a bad, bad.

331
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 3: Sign, bad sign of the times.

332
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: Indeed, all right, let's let's talk about perhaps the most

333
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: fun story to talk about.

334
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: Give them the headline, all right, give them the headline.

335
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: Final, here's the headline.

336
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: Men are twice as likely to die of a broken

337
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: heart than women, and just leave it. Science has proven it.

338
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: We could just leave it there.

339
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: No, it needs some explanation. Okay, the devil's in the details.

340
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: So yes, broken heart syndrome. We have heard about this,

341
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: and usually when we talk about it, we're talking about

342
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: a person who passes, maybe after their longtime spouse passes.

343
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: There have been some famous cases out there before when

344
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: someone dies just months.

345
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: After or days even, Yeah.

346
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: After a long time partner has passed. So that's when

347
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: we often say broken heart syndrome. But it's actually a

348
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: real medical thing. It's officially called something I can't.

349
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: I left you that read because you put it in there.

350
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: Tacosubo cardio myopathy. Yeah.

351
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: Actually I think you nailed it.

352
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: But anybody listening doesn't know. Correct, got it right?

353
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it sounded really good to me, all right,

354
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: So that is defined as what is defined as tacosubo

355
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: cardio myopathy.

356
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: Please continue.

357
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: You were way better than me, all right. I needed

358
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: some time with that one, all right.

359
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: It's defined as when a person experiences a traumatic event

360
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: in life that results in them experiencing chest pains and

361
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: shortness of breath. It can feel like you're having a

362
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: heart attack, and doctors say it can be brought on

363
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: by physical or emotional stress. Most people recover quickly, but

364
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: some do go on to have heart failure and die,

365
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: and men die at twice the rate of women when

366
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: they're experiencing this.

367
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So the study is from the American Heart Association.

368
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: It looked at two hundred thousand people with heartbreak syndrome.

369
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: Eighty three percent of the people with heartbreak syndrome were women.

370
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense.

371
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So aren't as likely to get heartbreak.

372
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: Syndrome are just seventeen percent of you?

373
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: Fine? But five percent of the women died of heartbreak syndrome,

374
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: while eleven point two percent of the men who got

375
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: heartbreak syndrome died. So, no, we don't get it as often,

376
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: but when we do, we get it much worse and

377
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: it can lead to death. So why is this happening?

378
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: And this is the part you can't wait to get

379
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: to because it's fascinating the reasons for why this.

380
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love hundred and batic, you are right now,

381
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: So it could be attributed to the fact that when

382
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: women have heartbreak syndrome, it is brought on by something

383
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: emotional check that reads. But for men it's brought on

384
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: by something physical like a major surgery or a stroke

385
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: or something else that is physically traumatic to the heart,

386
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: not emotionally traumatic to the heart, because you all are

387
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: dead inside when it comes to that.

388
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Just as a point of note here, the researchers

389
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: did not say that we're dead in That was some

390
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: editorial liberty that she just took. So conclusion here is

391
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: that men are less susceptible to having heartbreak syndrome. It's

392
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: harder for us to get the condition, but we're at

393
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: higher risk of dying because in order for us to

394
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: get the condition, it requires a more dangerous and physical.

395
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: Because love isn't that powerful to you all, or the

396
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: loss of love.

397
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: Again, it's not in the research, Nope, but I thought

398
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: that was fascinating. We die because we are not as

399
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: susceptible to it. But it takes something much stronger physically

400
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and dangerous to our physical forms to trigger heartbreak syndrome.

401
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: So it makes sense we.

402
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: Love harder and better I know it's just the way

403
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: it is.

404
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: This is not shocking to anyone, any woman for sure,

405
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: but I'm.

406
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: So sorry for your losses.

407
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 2: All right, So we would like to leave you with

408
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: this as you go about your Friday.

409
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 3: This is our quote of the day.

410
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: And I was inspired because I was able to sit

411
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium yesterday.

412
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: And watch my daughter graduate from n YU. Oh my god,

413
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: I'm getting a muption at all. But I actually it

414
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: was so.

415
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Fine.

416
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: It was beautiful, it was amazing, and I got to

417
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: I was so impressed with Molly Shannon of SNL. She

418
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: gave a powerful, powerful commencement address. I'm going to find

419
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: a quote from her. It's not been published yet that

420
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: I've seen, but I got excited about looking at what

421
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: some fun or inspiring commencement addresses have led to certain quotes.

422
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: And I found a quote from a baseball player, actually,

423
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: and I loved this quote because it's something he told

424
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: a graduating class, and I thought it was just a

425
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: fun way to end a Friday.

426
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know this was attributed to him. I have

427
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: heard this before. But the quote of the day for

428
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: you on this Friday. If you think nobody cares, if

429
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

430
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: I thought that was such good advice for kids who

431
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: are graduating from college. You know they might be scared

432
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: or have you know, feelings of you know, nobody cares

433
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: if I'm alive or yeah, when you start adulting, you

434
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: realize who cares those bill collectors.

435
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: It's also I think there's a good point. A lot

436
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: of people are down on themselves and think this and

437
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: that and nobody's there for me. Yeah, it's kind of

438
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: a funny way to say it, but somebody out there

439
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: always cares. Maybe it is just the bill collector for now,

440
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's the only one you can see. But there

441
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: are other people who in your life who so yes,

442
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: take that from Earl Wilson. If you think nobody cares

443
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments. And

444
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: with that, folks, we always appreciate you running with us.

445
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: We'll see you again on a Saturday morning run with

446
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: the recap of some of these stories this week that

447
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: really got us going, and then also on a Sunday

448
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: morning run, which provides you with the inspiration you need

449
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: to get you going for the week. So I always

450
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,239
