1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone, 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: and welcome to your Morning Run. It's Thursday, March twenty 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: sixth I'm Ammy. 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: ROBOTX good on TJ Holmes, and the acting head of 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 2: the TSA was on Capitol Hill yesterday and these words 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: came out of her mouth. We are seeing the highest 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: weight times in TSA history. That is where we are 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: and the history she's talking about. Robes are saying four 9 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: and a half hours is almost standard at some places. 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: It continues folks at the airports and right now, Robes 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: hearing from her she was testifying yesterday was not encouraging, 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 2: not at. 13 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: All, talking about how TSA agents are literally donating blood 14 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: and plasma, sleeping in their cars because they cannot afford 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: their lives without paychecks. That is just incredible to get 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: your head around that these folks, many of them are 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: working for free and they can't pay their bills. Four 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty of them have quit already. And that's 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: understandable given what we're seeing at the airports. 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: And now what we're seeing at the airports is they're 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: saying this is regular, this is normal. Now to see 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: some airports that have forty to fifty percent of the 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: TSA staff call out every single day. That is just 24 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: not possible. It's not sustainable. It is why you're seeing 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: all these lines. You said this again yesterday, Robes, and 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: we heard another official say we might have to start 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: I say, we they might have to start closing smaller airports. 28 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: We're not there yet, but how much longer can this go? 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: Ropes? 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like much. I mean, we've been watching 31 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: even the local news reports here in Atlanta, that's where 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: we are right now. And to see the line at 33 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: five am outside of the airport to just get to 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the security checkpoint area, it's I've never seen that before 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: in my life. 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: Forty one days now, we're on day forty one of 37 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: this partial shutdown, and if you ain't pissed yet, you're 38 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: gonna love this. Congress is scheduled to go on a 39 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: two week Easter recess starting tomorrow, and there is no 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: deal that has been reached, Robes. Do you think they 41 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: would dare leave and just go home for two weeks? Yes, sweetheart, 42 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: there is all the town halls they gotta go speak 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: to that constituents. 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: You can't leave and say for two weeks. 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: Y'all just not gonna get paid and we're not gonna 46 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: work on it impossible that I'm gonna do it. 47 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: I liked the idea that someone floated that they should 48 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: shut down Reagan National Airport and Dulles and BWY so 49 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: that those are the three airports that lawmakers cannot use, 50 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: so they cannot go home and they will not reopen 51 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: travel until they come to a deal. I am so 52 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: for that. I think that is I think they should 53 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: be banned from leaving. 54 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are on board with 55 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: that because right now, yes day forty one again, then 56 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: the longest one ever, the full shutdown was just a 57 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: few months ago and he went forty three days. 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: We're up to forty one days now. 59 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: We did have some optimism, at least we thought robes 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: so it was a back and forth that's gone going on. 61 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: But folks, as we report this morning on this Morning Ron, 62 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: this is while we're starting with it. The development is 63 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 2: that things have seemed to stall. They've been exchanging these 64 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: offers and counter offers, and the last one that was 65 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: sent on the Democratic side was received by Republicans with 66 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: these words, it's not serious, not even close to being 67 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: reeled ropes. We are back at a standstill now with 68 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 2: no off ramp that we can see. 69 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, because there was hope, there was hope that they 70 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: were going to be able to fund basically everything except 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: for ice. So take ice and deal with funding that later. 72 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: But get TSA, get DHS funded except for that, and 73 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: that seemed like a reasonable way forward, at least in 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: the short term, to get these TSA workers paid, to 75 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: get these lines back down to normal. And the fact 76 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: that that couldn't even work, that they rejected each other's 77 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: offers and counter offers on that is just mind. 78 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: Flying recess tomorrow two weeks and you think, because rods 79 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: when they leave you, I'm not gonna be able to 80 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: get all of them back to come vote on whatever 81 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: the agreement is. So if this isn't done in the 82 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: next twenty four forty eight hours, you're telling me you're 83 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: gonna look these TSA We're going home and not going 84 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: to work, knowing you all are going to another two 85 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: weeks during a holiday without getting paid. 86 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: You found this quote from a labor leading fantastic. I 87 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: love it, so I think we should read it. Do 88 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: not get on a plane that a TSA officer screened 89 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: for free and fly home for Easter dinner and tell 90 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: these people that you're working on it. Bro. 91 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 3: This is now the recess thing. This is this. 92 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: Please you all pay these people. We were at the 93 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: airport yesterday. We didn't have any issues going out of Newark. 94 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: They were as pleasant as you could expect the TSA officers. 95 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: But the screening line was a little intense and it 96 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: was backed up and backed up. 97 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: The line. 98 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: Getting through the queue was one thing, but once we 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: got showed our IDs and it's time for your stuff 100 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: to go on the belt, that was the longest I 101 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: can remember, and chaotic. 102 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: I can remember it. 103 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Being absolutely and even to the point where my bag 104 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: and I know how to pack and not to put 105 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: anything in it. It came into the part where it 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: had to be screens, so we had to wait I 107 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: think ten minutes just for somebody to get the bag. 108 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: And then he looks up at the screen and says, oh, 109 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: it just malfunctioned. It has to just go back through. 110 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: What I've never had that happen. So then it had 111 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: to go all the way back through because there was 112 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: a malfunction. 113 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: But that guy you explained to me, he ends up 114 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: getting scolded by another Yes. 115 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: Yes, So he comes up to me and says, oh, 116 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: this guy, this malfunction, I'm going to have to put 117 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: it through. So he's taking my bag. This other woman, 118 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: who is a worker, yelled at him, what are you 119 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: doing over there? We need you over here. So then 120 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: I didn't even know where my bag went for a 121 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: while because he was being yelled at that he was 122 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: needed somewhere else. 123 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: We got through if we showed our IDs. We were 124 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: in one line waiting to go through and put our bag. 125 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 2: Somebody walks up, hands us some slips go over to 126 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: that line, I'm saying. And then once we got through 127 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: and got through the metal detector, we're standing on the 128 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: other side. That was nothing thing coming off the belt, nothing, 129 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 2: No bags were coming. We were just hanging out. 130 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: And you looked at me and said, because this was 131 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: around like eleven am, so not a busy time of travel, 132 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: And you said, thank god, it's not busy here right now, 133 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: because can you imagine what that line would have looked 134 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: like if it had been so. 135 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 3: We Wednesday at eleven am. 136 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: Imagine what a Thursday, even a Friday morning, a Saturday morning, 137 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: a holiday, all this is going on but hey, some 138 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: relief was offered at least robes Elon Musk riches man 139 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 2: on Planet Earth says I will step in and I 140 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 2: will pay their salaries during the shutdown, and the government 141 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: has now said no, thank you. The White House rejected 142 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: his generous offer. He's going to pay all the salaries now. 143 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: Despite the President publicly saying he liked the idea, the 144 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: administration later acknowledged got some legal issues here with accepting 145 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:46,799 Speaker 2: this offer. 146 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: It's illegal. 147 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: You can't really do it. There's no really mechanism for this. Fine, 148 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: but it still seemed, Hey, this guy's over here with 149 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: money and we can't even. 150 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, he still can't get the money. 151 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: I think they said it would cost about two hundred 152 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars. And there actually is is a 153 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: good week for him right in Vegas. That might just 154 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: be a day for him in Vegas.

But 157 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: because he has contracts, he is in the government, so 158 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: to speak. He's got his hands and certain things, so 159 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: it would just be improper and yes. 160 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: Illegal, right, donate to the government.

According to President Trump, he sent a fifteen 178 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: point planned to Iran which laid out the US demands 179 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: for ending the war. 180 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: I forgot about that, he did say earlier on He said, 181 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: they have said, okay to all of our points, including 182 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: that they won't have any nuclear weapon. 183 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 3: Holy hell, I forgot about that. Ropes Okay. 184 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: The US continues to insist the negotiations are moving forward. 185 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: Iran continues to insist that no negotiations have you even 186 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: taking place. One Iranian military leader even went as far 187 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: as to mock the US. Make fun of the US 188 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: for quote, negotiating with yourselves. 189 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 3: He said, don't dress up your defeat as an agreement. 190 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Ooh, all right, well. Press Secretary Carolyn Lovett issued this 191 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: morning to Iran from the President that he is prepared 192 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: to unleash hell if Iran doesn't agree to a deal. 193 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: And then Trump was on true social this morning firing 194 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: away saying that Irani negotiators are different and strange. I 195 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. He says they're begging 196 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: us to make a deal, which they should be doing, 197 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: and basically said they better get serious soon before it's 198 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: too late because once that happened, there is no turning 199 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: back and it won't be pretty. So more threats from 200 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: it to get a deal done that he said already 201 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: was done. It's so confusing, but apparently the negotiators are strange. 202 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, the latest on that deadly 203 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: collision Atlaguardi at airport that happened this week.

At least forty people were 209 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 2: initially taken to the hospital for treatment, all but a few, 210 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: we are told as of this morning, as of this 211 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 2: recording have been released. 212 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: And they're hoping to have that runway reopened by tomorrow 213 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: as they continue to remove the wreckage from the plane. 214 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: Continuing on the run here now, and social media giants 215 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: are taking a beating this week. Meta and YouTube have 216 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 2: now been found liable for business practices that were harmful 217 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: to kids by getting them addicted to their products. 218 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: A jury awarded six million dollars in damages to a 219 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: woman who claimed she became addicted to YouTube and Instagram 220 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: at a young age, which she said led to her 221 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: depression and suicidal thoughts. So, look, this is a big 222 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: deal because this is going to set precedent for so 223 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: many other lawsuits that are out there, and all eyes 224 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: were on this jury to see what they would do. 225 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Google is going to appeal, Meta is looking at its 226 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: options as well. But this is going to have far 227 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: reaching effects. 228 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: And this is separate from the one in New Mexico 229 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: that the jury awarded three hundred and seventy five million 230 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: dollars the day before. That one had to do with 231 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: meta yes at the time, so the it's just beginning. Wow, 232 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: this is going to change social media. Yeah, it will 233 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: change our conversations around social media, and it is going 234 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 2: to change the pockets of a bunch of pretty big companies. 235 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: Continue on the run here Now, average cost of a 236 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 2: galln of gas gone up about a dollar since the 237 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: war began.

Priority mail is among them. 245 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: Your stamp is not going to make a difference, but 246 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: the other products we're talking about now, ro this got me. 247 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 2: They said this was going to be temporary.

Also, as we 303 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: wrap up the run, we heard from Stephen Colbert. We 304 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: know his show is going to be wrapping up here 305 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: just a couple of months. He already has another gig 306 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: lined up and we did not see this one coming. 307 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Thursday morning run, and we just 308 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: heard the first part of a major interview that Savannah 309 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: Guthrie did with Hotocopy. She sat down with her and 310 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: we heard from her for the first time, talk about 311 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: what it was like in the moments finding out that 312 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: her mom was missing, what she and her three siblings 313 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: have been going through over these past fifty four days. 314 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: But as you mentioned before the break the most heartbreaking 315 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: part of this interview, and I can't imagine anyone made 316 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: it through that without crying. Talking about the guilt she 317 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: feels because she believes that she is the reason why 318 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: her mom was kidnapped. 319 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: She actually said the words I'm sorry mommy, right we 320 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: That's something I guess Robie hadn't focused on enough in 321 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 2: this whole situation. But to think that because of you 322 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: and your position and your career and what you do, 323 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: your mom is dead, that somebody, because of you, you 324 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: put your mom in harm's way. Now, she gave a 325 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: lot of We heard a lot of details about how 326 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: she first got word about it and all these things. 327 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: We detail that in another episode that's posted and going 328 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: to be posted right after this one on our feed, 329 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: so if you want more of the details, that will 330 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: be up there for you to see. But Ropes, that 331 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: was the moment, and to hear her, it was tough. 332 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: She said, I'm sorry to my kids, to my nephew, 333 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: to my sister, to my brother. She went through and 334 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: apologized to everybody for it, and that was very difficult 335 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: to see. But I give them today's show, that whole 336 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: team credit for how they handled this as delicately and 337 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: quite frankly professionally. 338 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: Yes, expect the exact amount of support she needs, and 339 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: certainly getting the word out again.
