Ouch. It was why. 18 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: You stay up. This is why I told you, yes, 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: stay up and watch these games, because that one was 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: a thurler last night in the National semi final. We'll 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: get into it, but yes, it was a heartbreaker for 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: at least one kid on that Penn State team. 23 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: I felt like I was there when you told me 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: everything that happened after I went to bed, I think 25 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: after the third quarter. But we will get into that, yes, 26 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: in just a bit. We do have to begin this 27 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: Friday morning though, in southern California, where overnight there were 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: a number of significant and staggering updates on those LA wildfires. First, 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: the death toll has doubled. 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: The authorities confirmed now there have been ten fire related deaths, 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 2: and they fear that number will continue to rise. Also, 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: fire officials now say ten thousand structures have been burned. 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: That is a dramatic jump from just twenty four hours 34 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: ago when they were still saying one thousand structures had 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: been damaged or destroyed. 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: Wow. 37 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: There were more mandatory evacuations yesterday, bringing the total to 38 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: nearly one hundred and eighty thousand Los Angelinos under evacuation orders. 39 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: On the upside, the winds subsided dramatically yesterday and firefighters 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: were able to make some major progress against them. But 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: still the two largest fires remain stubborn yes. 42 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: As of this recording. The Palisades fire has destroyed some 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: twenty thousand acres and is less than ten percent contained. 44 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: The next largest fire, the Eton Fire, has burned some 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: fourteen thousand acres and as of Friday morning, was zero 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: percent contained. In addition to the Palisades and Eating fires, 47 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: Cruiser battling three others, the Hearst Fire, the Lydia fire, 48 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: and the Kenneth fire. That's a new one. That one 49 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: popped up just yesterday and quickly spread, prompting new evacuations. 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: A man was arrested near that Kenneth fire and is 51 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: now being investigated for arson. The cause of all of 52 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: these fires is currently under investigation, and officials made it 53 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: clear yesterday that if it's determined they were caused by arson, 54 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: that arsonists will be facing murder charges. 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Now. Other significant headlines are related to the wildfires. President 56 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: Biden announced increased federal help. This is a big, big 57 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: deal here. He said, the Feds would now cover one 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: hundred percent of the cost for one hundred and eighty days. 59 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: Biden said California Governor Gavin Newsom made the request for 60 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: the increased funding, and that money will go towards things 61 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: like debris removal, firefighters, salaries, temporary shelters, and so on. 62 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris has canceled what was supposed to 63 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: be her final foreign trip as vice president. She was 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: scheduled to leave on Monday for Singapore, Bachrain, and Germany. Also, 65 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: authorities say at least twenty people have been arrested this 66 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: week for theft and looting. Concerns overlooting is why now 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: a curfew is in effect last night and in some areas. 68 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: It makes you sick in the stomach, doesn't It does. 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to even say it out loud. 70 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: There's some video of it out there, just there going 71 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: into people's homes who are evacuated from those areas, and 72 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: nobody else is there, So they are going to home 73 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: that haven't been burned. At their video out there, people 74 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: walking out with TV. 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: It's sickening. 76 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: It's opportunists always, but they've actually called in the National 77 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: Guard to help with some of the policing in some 78 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: of these neighborhoods. Also, we can tell you either the 79 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: Lakers Hornets game that was supposed to be last night, 80 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: it has been a postpone, so they didn't play that 81 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: game last night. The NFL also announced it's moving Monday's 82 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: playoff game that was supposed to be in La between 83 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 2: the Vikings and the La Rams. It's not going to 84 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: be played in Arizona. And also, get this, some ten 85 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: million people in La yesterday got an evacuation order and 86 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: it was false. 87 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Wow, an evacuation alert accidentally sent to a wide swatch 88 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: of LA residents. However, it was only meant for a 89 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: small number of people in one particular area, So authorities 90 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: quickly realized the error. They sent a second alert out 91 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: trying to clear things up. But that has got to 92 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: be really traumatic. At this point, people are on pins 93 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: and needles waiting to see if they have to leave, 94 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: if they have to leave all their worldly possessions behind 95 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: and flee. So yeah, to get an alert like that 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: and say, whoops, mistake, that was meant for someone else. 97 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 2: You all everybody's from Were those alerts right? It scares 98 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: the hell out of you. When it goes off on 99 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 2: your phone that loud, you know there's some yep, big issue. 100 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: Imagine ten million people all over LA. If you're out 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: at the grocery store wherever you are, you don't know 102 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: what's going on. You look down, maybe a new fire 103 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: popped up. Maybe I need to go check on my home. 104 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: It scared the hell out of everybody for a little 105 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: while yesterday. So those are just some There's so many 106 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: little headlines coming out of the wildfires. We have the 107 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 2: big headlines, but there are smaller ones as well. We 108 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: do want to continue to run talking about those wildfires, 109 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: and of course it might be a while before we 110 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: know the exact cause of these fires, what went wrong 111 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: in the response, and how things can be done differently 112 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,559 Speaker 2: to prevent such a disaster in the future. But until 113 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: we have those answers, we have ourselves a good old 114 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 2: fashioned blame game, and right now the lion's share of 115 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: that blame is being directed at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. 116 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: Bass is getting criticized on two fronts. One, when the 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: fires exploded on Tuesday of this week, Bass was nowhere 118 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: to be found in her city because she was out 119 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: of the country. Bass had been selected by President Biden 120 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: to be a part of a US delegation to attend 121 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: the inauguration of Ghana's new president, so she left La 122 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: last Saturday, and that was two days after the National 123 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: Weather Service issued warnings about rapid fire spread and extreme 124 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: fire behavior. 125 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: So then when the first fires erupted on Tuesday. She 126 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: says she got back as fast as she could on 127 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: a military plane and was able to stay in touch 128 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: and monitor the situation by phone the whole way back 129 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: on that flight. Also, though, when she got back, a 130 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: reporter happened to catch her at the airport, and with 131 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: cameras rolling, asked her several questions about her absence. She 132 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: wouldn't even look at the reporter. She stayed silent. At 133 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: some point she had her head down, she walked away. 134 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: Looks like he was almost chasing her with the camera. 135 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 2: No matter what you think, this simply was not a 136 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: good look for the mayor. 137 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: No, it was not. That was a point in which 138 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: silence was probably not her friends, all right. The other 139 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: thing that's coming to focus. Bass approved a seventeen million 140 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: dollar budget cut to the La Fire Department last year. 141 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: The fire chief said in a memo just last month 142 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: that those cuts quote have adversely affected the department's ability 143 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: to maintain core operations, and that the reduction in overtime 144 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: hours severely limited the department's capacity to prepare, for, train 145 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: for and respond to large scale emergencies. Bass is defending 146 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: the trip to Ghana and defending the budget cuts claiming 147 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: there were no reductions that would have impacted the situation 148 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: we were dealing with over the last couple of days. 149 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: That's tough to defend. 150 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: However, this is the going to go down probably is 151 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: the worst fire disaster in LA history, the most expensive. 152 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: And when it happens, your mayor is gone, the leader 153 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: of your city is gone. Now there's a pre planned trip. 154 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: Should she have even taken off knowing the extreme fire 155 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: danger that was in place? I mean, this warning was 156 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: not just your run of the mill. It was like 157 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: one of the highest alerts you could get. And I 158 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: don't know, how could you predict that this was the disaster? 159 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 160 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that. I don't know that. It's 161 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: I think it's easy to say in hindsight that she 162 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't have gone. I think it's hard to know that 163 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: ahead of time. You know, you think about all the 164 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: hurricane warnings we get, tornado warnings. You get a lot 165 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: of folks just think, well, sure there's another warning, but 166 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen here and it's not going 167 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,679 Speaker 1: to be as bad as they say. So so many 168 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: people respond to warnings and take them with a grain 169 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: of salt, and she must have done the same thing. 170 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: You know what, you make a very good and you 171 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: just I was going to give her the benefit of that. 172 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: But when you use the hurricane example, a lot of 173 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: people see those hurricane warnings and things that come and 174 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: they hunker down and they say, oh, it's going to 175 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: be nothing. 176 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 177 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: But you know who doesn't do that. The mayor of 178 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: those cities, the governor of those cities, the leaders of 179 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 2: those cities stay close just in case, and they prepare 180 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: and make sure everything's okay. So when you make put 181 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: it that way, like wait a minute, Yes, citizen has 182 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: the choice of whether or not they want to heat 183 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: the warnings. Your elected officials. 184 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: Don't, or at least you could argue they shouldn't. 185 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: All right, we're going to continue our run here on 186 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: this Friday morning. The run is now going to take 187 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: us to Washington, d c. Where the state funeral for 188 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: President Jimmy Carter was held at the National Cathedral yesterday. 189 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: What a showing, what a ceremony, and it was incredible 190 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: to see this gathering of former presidents and our nation's 191 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: leaders who put aside political differences and they were there 192 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: to honor President Carter. The thirty ninth president of the US. 193 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to share with our listeners how we watched 194 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: this funeral. I was stuck at an airport in blowing 195 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: snow in Denver. You were back here in New York, 196 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: and we both had our live feeds up and just 197 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: watched it together, even though we were thousands of miles apart, 198 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: and it was a spectacle. I mean, we were actually having, 199 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 1: I mean quite the time watching all of this political 200 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: theater on display while we saw all of these incredible 201 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: people who have let our country work together. You know what, 202 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: leave it to Carter, who dedicated his life pursuing peace 203 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: to create a space where we could watch President elect 204 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: Trump chatting it up with former President Obama. That was 205 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: kind of remarkable to see. We could watch Trump shake 206 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: hands with his former vice president turned political adversary, you 207 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: might say, Mike Pence. 208 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: That was a moment. I was waiting to see what 209 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: was going to happen, and yeah, sure enough, they showed 210 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 2: hand the first time they've been in the same room 211 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: in years and years and years. So the setup, I'm 212 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: sure a lot of you have seen the video, but 213 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: on the second row, I guess you have Bill Hillary, 214 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: then you have George Laura, then you have the rock, 215 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 2: Donald Mulaney. That's your setup in that row. And then 216 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: on the row in front of them, the front row, 217 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: you have President Biden, the first lady, the Vice President Harris, 218 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: and then her husband. So that's the setup. They're all 219 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: sitting there together, and I look a lot of commentators 220 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: were trying to trying to discern from body language what 221 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: was going through their mind, and there's Frosty over here, 222 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: and they haven't really looked at each other there. Just 223 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: to see them all sitting there together was nice for 224 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: everybody to see. I appreciate it seeing it. 225 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, it actually was heartwarming, I think to see them 226 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: all in the same space and seemingly getting along. Also 227 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: behind the row of the Bush's Obama, Trump was Pence 228 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: and then Al Gore. So it really was who's who 229 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: of our leaders club. It really was. Once the service started, though, 230 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: there were also some really moving speeches. Notably, we heard 231 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: the written eulogies from two men who have already died, 232 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: delivered by their sons, and that was so powerful and 233 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: it was emotional, especially when we heard from the son 234 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: of President Gerald Ford. He died nearly twenty years ago, 235 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: and you have his son there reading his father's touching 236 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: words about the unlikely friendship between Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. 237 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: And it happened on an airplane ride. I mean, it 238 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: really was incredible to just be invited into their friendship. 239 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: And then of course you had the son of Carter's VP, 240 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: Walter Mondale. He read his father's words written nearly ten 241 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: years ago before his death in twenty twenty one. And 242 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 2: one of the other highlights of the Carter funeral, his 243 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: grandson Jason eulogized him. Now. He did it with intimate 244 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: stories of his grandfather that were at times sweet funny. 245 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: It was a reminder of how humble Carter was. He 246 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 2: spent ninety two years. It's remarkable to hear that we 247 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: talk about his years as president. This is why we 248 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 2: all know him. But hey, everybody, he spent ninety two 249 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 2: years doing something else besides being president. That's a hell 250 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: of a life. He ended with this, he said, he 251 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: led this nation with love and respect. To me, this 252 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: life was a love story from the moment that he 253 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: woke up until he laid his head. That was and everybody, 254 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: you and I were going back and forth about it, 255 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: but then to see the commentary afterwards. Everybody knew this guy. 256 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: If forgive the phrase, stole the show at the funeral, 257 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: if you. 258 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: Will, Yeah, he really did. It was so moving. And 259 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: then we heard President Biden giving the official eulogy at 260 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: the service, and he highlighted the common theme that we 261 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: heard from the funeral from so many speakers. He talked 262 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: about Carter's character, and he talked about Carter's faith and 263 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: another beautiful moment. I know this was really impactful for you, TJ. 264 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: When we heard from Reverend and Ambassador Andrew Young at 265 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: the age of ninety two. He was speaking about his 266 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: time and his unlikely friendship with Carter, a white Georgian 267 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: and a black Georgian at the time of Jim Crow 268 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: laws coming together, working together. But he gave this beautiful speech, 269 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: this beautiful eulogy, without using any notes at all. I 270 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: even texted you at one time and said does he 271 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: have a prompter? The answer was no, and it was 272 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: inspiring and it was impressive. 273 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: This is one of my guys I got to know 274 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 2: well when I'm in my time in Atlanta. I love 275 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 2: Ambassador Young and our notes when we were texting each 276 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: other when he got up there to speak. I sent 277 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: you a note and I said, this is gonna be good. 278 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 279 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: He is one of the most incredible speakers I've ever 280 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 2: ever heard. And at ninety two, how sharp is his so. 281 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Sharp he couldn't stand that they had him seated. That 282 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: just shows you the physical condition perhaps a ninety two 283 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,119 Speaker 1: year old's body is in he's pretty. 284 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: Sure too about it. 285 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's sitting down, but man, his mind was 286 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: sharp as a tack. 287 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: And the funeral wrapped up, Garth Brooks Frischer Year were 288 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 2: performing John Lennon's Imagine. This is one of roseland Carter's 289 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: favorite songs. It was the very song that duo performed 290 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: at her funeral just a little over a year ago. 291 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: I also sent you a note about this, and it 292 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: just infuriates me because people were attacking Tricia Earwood and 293 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: Garth Brooks for performing that song, like, how could you 294 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: use that song? How dare you play this? It's a 295 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: sacrilegious song. It's some line. What did you say about it? 296 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: It says imagine there's no heaven. 297 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: So it has some line this Obviously they didn't say 298 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: let the song. Rosalind and President Carter liked this song. 299 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: Loved this song. I believe Carter referred to it as 300 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: a as an international anthem at some point, and it 301 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: came out the year his first year in office as governor. 302 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: So it's it's special to them, you know. And look, 303 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: that's a song that New York City plays every night 304 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: every year before the ball drops at New Year's Eve. 305 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: It's it has a lot of meaning. People took one 306 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: line and went crazy about it and said it shouldn't 307 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: have been performed in a church. Okay, everybody calmed down. 308 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: But they directed it at the performers, and it was 309 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: just just to see the nastiness and the vitriol and 310 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: the directed at people. And it's one hundred percent wrong 311 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: if you're attacking these people for performing that song. It 312 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: was not their choice. They were doing it at the 313 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: request of the people whose funerals they were performing. 314 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: A yeah, and my funeral. I'm gonna play whatever damn 315 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: song I want, or I'll have someone else do it 316 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: because I won't be able to perform it because I'll 317 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: be dead. 318 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: I know its song I'm gonna play. It's already no 319 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: but the prayer. No, it's green green grass. Okay. Following 320 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: the funerals. There was his President Card and his family. 321 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: They returned to Plains, Georgia. That was a private burial 322 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: on the family property where he was laid to rest 323 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: next to Roslynd, his wife of seventy seven years. And well, 324 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: there was a lot to come out of this funeral. 325 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: But something else that came out of this funeral. There 326 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: was a reason that Barack Obama and President elect Trump 327 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: were sitting next to each other. There should have been 328 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: somebody there dividing the It wasn't. 329 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: There, Yes, and it was Michelle Obama. However, she was 330 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: not there, and it was fairly notable because every other 331 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: former president had his first lady or his former first 332 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: lady sitting next to him. And the response we got 333 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: from the Michelle Obama team was that she had a 334 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: scheduling conflict that prevented her from attending, that she was 335 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: remaining in Hawaii, and that was it. Not really a 336 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: lot more to say about it, but a lot of 337 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: people had their thoughts, and. 338 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: I wonder it wasn't much of an explanation. Do they 339 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: owe on it? But it just it was a striking absence. Yeah, 340 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 2: given what this was, so we will wait, maybe there's 341 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: more details about it, like I always said, and maybe not, 342 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: and maybe we'll stay with those folks on this very 343 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: busy Friday morning. Ron when we come back. Alec Baldwin 344 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: is voluntarily heading back to court. Also last night, what 345 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 2: a game, what a finish, and what a heartbreaking way 346 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 2: to end the season for that tenn stay quarterbacks. 347 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: They went, welcome back everyone to morning run. Next up 348 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: on the run. In ten days he will be president again, 349 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: but today he's a convicted felon facing his sentencing. President 350 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: Trump tried and tried, but ultimately failed and all of 351 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: his attempts to get today's sentencing stopped and it all 352 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: came down to the Supreme Court. 353 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, after trying various legal avenues and being rejected at 354 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: every turn, Trump's last hope late yesterday was with the 355 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. It was in their hands. And then he 356 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: was in their hands after the New York Supreme Court 357 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: refused to block the sentencing, so the Supreme Court of 358 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: the US was his last option. Trump early this week 359 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: asked the court to grant his emergency request to stop 360 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: the sentencing, making an argument he's made in court time 361 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: and time again. He claims he has presidential immunity, which 362 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 2: was established by a Supreme Court decision last year. 363 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: Well, that argument apparently hasn't been working in court, and 364 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: it did not work on the Supreme Court justices either, 365 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: but perhaps it almost did. The justices denied Trump's request 366 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: by the closest possible margin, five to four. Chief Justice 367 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: Roberts and amy Cony Barrett voted with the three liberal 368 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: justices to turn down Trump's requests. 369 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: And explaining their decision, one reason the justices gave for 370 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 2: turning down Trump's request was that he didn't go through 371 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 2: all the state appeals first. But they also wrote in 372 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: their briefing this quote, the burden that sentencing will impose 373 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 2: on the President Elect's responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light 374 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 2: of the trial courts stated intent to impose a sentence 375 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: of unconditional discharge after a brief virtual hearing. Essentially, they're saying, 376 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: was a big deal. Dude, All you got to do 377 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: is get on video. He's not sending you to jail, 378 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: and he's just gonna have this unconditional discharge just means 379 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: there's no fee, there's no fine, there's no nothing. It's 380 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: just they're just wrapping it up. What's a big deal. 381 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: I appreciate your synopsis of that, because that legalese was 382 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: confusing as heck to me. 383 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: That's right, that's all they're saying. I was like, Uh, 384 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 2: there is no burden. You just got to get on 385 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: video for a little while and go back to your day. 386 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: Can't they just talk like that? He's so much easier 387 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: to understand. 388 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: All right. 389 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: The judge overseeing the sentencing today has already said he's 390 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: not gonna sentence Trump to any jail time. As you 391 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: were pointing out the sentencing scheduled for nine to thirty 392 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Eastern here in New York. Trump, Yes, We'll be there 393 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: via video conference. 394 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: It as a reminder here, all this stems from last 395 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: year's trial, in which Trump was convicted on thirty four 396 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 2: felon accounts of falsifying business records related to a hush 397 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniel. 398 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: Maybe we can put this to rest after today, all right? 399 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: Next up on the run we head, Well, yeah, we had. 400 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: Are we staying in DC? I think we're going back, 401 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: going back to the that was New York. Now we're 402 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: back to d C. Confused a running path here. The 403 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is going to hear arguments over the fate 404 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: of TikTok today the social. 405 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: I just took cur read no go ahead? 406 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: Does it just like back in the day I used 407 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: to read he reads all the time. 408 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, just blow right through it. Bavery go ahead. 409 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 3: The social media platform says it will shut down the 410 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 3: site here in the US January nineteenth unless the Justices 411 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: intervened on a law that would force TikTok's sale by 412 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 3: its Chinese parent company. 413 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: No keep going, you take it okay. 414 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: So what she's trying to say here the companies as 415 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: either the Supreme Court delays the January nineteenth deadline or 416 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: strikes down the law or all together. If on January nineteenth, 417 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: this law is still in place and you cannot as 418 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: an internet provider or an app store or whatever, they're 419 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 2: not supposed to allow you to use TikTok. They're supposed 420 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 2: to take it down. So one hundred million plus Americans 421 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 2: use TikTok, Bye bye, it's going to be gone. And 422 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: again a lot I always say, there's a lot of influence. 423 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people to pay this on TikTok 424 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: for their income. I don't know what's going to happen 425 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: to them, and President Trump has already weighed in on 426 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: the case, asking for the court to delay a decision 427 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: and give him in his administration time to negotiate a 428 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: political resolution. Of course, the stakes here are high content 429 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: creators making their living here, and a big question as 430 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: to whether or not the law is a violation of 431 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: our Constitution's free speech guarantee, which could have depending on 432 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: how they rule here, that could have implications in a 433 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: lot of avenues of society. 434 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, President Biden signed this law back in April. It 435 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: was approved with a wide bipartisan support in Congress. The 436 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: Biden administration said no one can seriously dispute that China's 437 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: control of TikTok through the company which is called byte Dance. 438 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: They say it represents a grave threat to national security. 439 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: US officials saying, you know what, the Chinese government could 440 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: theoretically force byte Edance, the company, to give up information 441 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: on US TikTokers. Also, they could use a social media 442 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: company to spread or suppress information. 443 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: So a TikTok's response to the justices, there is no evidence, 444 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 2: they say that China has ever attempted to do any 445 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: of the above, and that free speech should not be 446 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: affected by fears of what might or what could happen. 447 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: So the timing here is tight. The court hearing the 448 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: arguments today. This is nine days before the law is 449 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 2: supposed to take effect, ten days before Trump is won 450 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 2: into office. A lot on the line here, but we 451 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 2: do expect the justices we could well be hearing from 452 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: them in just a matter of days after they hear these. 453 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: Arguments, and a lot of kids will be paying attention, 454 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: close attention. We're going to continue our run in DC now, 455 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: where the Senate overwhelmingly advanced the Lake and Riley Act 456 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: that's going to require authorities to detain any undocumented immigrant 457 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: who is accused of certain crimes like theft or burglary. 458 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: Thirty one Democrats joined all voting Republicans for a vote 459 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: of eighty four to nine. 460 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: The Majority Leader John Thune now going to decide if 461 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: any amendments are going to be added to this bill 462 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 2: to be considered. Democrats who voted to advance this bill 463 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 2: have said they want to offer changes to it before 464 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: deciding on how they will ultimately vote on final passage. 465 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 2: The House approved this act in a bipartisan vote earlier 466 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: this week. This was the first bill that came out 467 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 2: for a vote vote in the first one that well, 468 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 2: so far it's on the right track. 469 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, And it seemingly has really incredible bipartisan support. 470 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: And it's named after the University of Georgia student who 471 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: was killed by an undocumented immigrant. He had previously been 472 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: arrested for theft, later found guilty of her murder. And 473 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: the House had approved this legislation last year, but it 474 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: stalled in the then Democratic controlled Senate. So now that 475 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: Republicans are a control, we'll see if this bill will 476 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: actually get passed. 477 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 2: I we'll continue on our run here with Alec Baldwin 478 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 2: heading back to court, but this time it's by choice. 479 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 2: The actor has folled a civil lawsuit against New Mexico 480 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 2: prosecutors for malicious prosecution and the civil rights violations over 481 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 2: the fatal shooting of cinematographer Helena Hutchins on the set 482 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 2: of the movie Rust. 483 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: Back in July, a judge dismissed the charge of involuntary 484 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: manslaughter against Baldwin for the shooting. The judge ruled prosecutors 485 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: withheld evidence from Baldwin's defense team, and he dismissed the 486 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: case without the potential for it to be retried. End 487 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: of story, right, uh uh. 488 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 2: Prosecutors appeal the judge's ruining, so they were going to 489 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: try to go after him again, but then they announced 490 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: last month they would drop that appeal. Baldwin's lawsuits as 491 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: the prosecutors and investigators sought at every turn to scapegoat 492 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: Baldwin for the acts and omissions of others, regardless of 493 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 2: the evidence or the law. 494 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: His lawyers say they filed this lawsuit to hold prosecutors 495 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: accountable for their misconduct and to prevent them from doing 496 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: this to anyone else. Baldwin, as you might remember, was 497 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: pointing that pistol at Hutchins when it discharged, killing her 498 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: and wounding director Joel Susa. Baldwin said he pulled back 499 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: the hammer but not the trigger. 500 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 2: When the revolver went off, and the movie's armorer, who 501 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: loaded the live ammunition into the gun that day was 502 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: convicted of involuntary manslaughter, so weak an eighteen month prison sentence. 503 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 2: Baldwin is seeking monetary damages from legal expenses, loss of income, 504 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: severe emotional distress, anguish, and embarrassment. He's no longer facing 505 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 2: criminal charges, he's still facing several civil lawsuits, including from 506 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: Hutchins family and Rust crew members. 507 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: So the legal battles continue. Well, let's move on to 508 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: the final leg of our run. We head to Miami 509 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: for the Capitol One Orange Bowl and what a game 510 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: it was, ending with a forty one year sorry, a 511 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: forty one yard field goal in the final seconds to 512 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: the game to give Notre Dame a twenty seven to 513 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: twenty four win over Penn State. 514 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: So this means the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be 515 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 2: back in the National Championship game that's going to be 516 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: on January twentieth. This is going to be there. This 517 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 2: is going to be their first trip back since twenty thirteen. 518 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: Heartbreaking for the Nittney Lions. This was a great, great, 519 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: hard fought quality game. But the score was tied twenty 520 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: four twenty two. Excuse me, twenty four to twenty four. 521 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: How can you be tie twenty four to twenty two? 522 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: I said, tie, right, and then gave two different numbers. 523 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 2: It's been a long week. You were gone for a 524 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 2: couple nit, I know. So the score was died twenty 525 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: four to twenty four. The Lions Nity Lions had the 526 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: ball in the final minute of the game, So this 527 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: is set up to make Penn State quarterback Drew a 528 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 2: Lar a hero, right, So he's gonna drive his team down, 529 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: maybe kick field goal, maybe get a touchdown, win it all. 530 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: So the play comes, he makes a throw, it's an 531 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: ill advised one. It's intercepted. So what this does now, 532 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 2: It now sets up Notre Dame to turn around and 533 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: try to win the game, which is exactly what they did. 534 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 2: That's right. 535 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: Penn State, by the way, to add to the heartbreaking loss, 536 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: hasn't made it back to the national championship since nineteen 537 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: eighty six. They were so close they literally had it 538 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: in their hands, and that has to hurt. Notre Dame 539 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: will now take on the winner of tonight's semifinal between 540 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: Texas and Ohio State. So I know exactly where we 541 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: will be and what we will be doing tonight, and 542 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try not to fall asleep on this one. 543 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 2: We had a long day of flight delays and whatnot yesterday, 544 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: so I will forgive you. But this was a great 545 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: game and it's as exciting as it was. You just 546 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: that kid. I mean, the commentators were even saying on 547 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 2: this final drive, like how like how many chances do 548 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: you take do you just kind of play it safe 549 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: and go for overtime, or do you take a chance here? 550 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: And sure enough they were going for it interception and 551 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: I've died. They turn around and it cost him the 552 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 2: game in final seconds. It hurts, but this is sports. 553 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 2: It's beautiful sometimes and it is as painful as it 554 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: gets at other times. The other highlight here history is 555 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: being made. We're gonna have the first black coach ever 556 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: in the going for a national championship in the FBS. 557 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: That's awesome. 558 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 2: That's unbelievable that we still haven't had. And I didn't 559 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 2: do that deep of a dive. I know in n 560 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 2: CUBAA basketball, I think there're only been four four black coaches. 561 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: That's crazy to win a championship, none ever in NCUBLEA. 562 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: When you put it like that, that that really is remarkable. 563 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: But you know it's going to be even more markable 564 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 2: to you. One hundred and thirty four FBS schools with 565 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: football teams, only sixteen black coaches this year. Wow. So 566 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 2: it's it's there are some people out there that try to, oh, 567 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 2: does that have to be a story, what's the big deal? 568 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: He's just it's it is a big deal because we're 569 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: not represented there and haven't been. There's no big deal 570 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 2: for a white guys. Well, you're not going to talk 571 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: about his because you just expect to be there. A 572 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: lot of black coaches don't get these opportunities. Clearly, if 573 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 2: only sixteen coaches out of one hundred and thirty four schools, 574 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 2: the opportunities just aren't there. To see him doing his thing, 575 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: I love it, I applaud it, and I am and 576 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 2: I am rooting for him. I don't have a school 577 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: or a dog in the fight, but I'm rooting for him. 578 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Well, congratulations to notre Day. All Right, as we end 579 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: this morning with this very long and detailed and news 580 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: heavy morning run is busy. We'd like you to consider this. 581 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: We've confused standard of living with standard of life. Doesn't 582 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: matter if you're in a Ford or Bentley. What matters 583 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: is the road you're rolling on. This is from your files. 584 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 2: I' pretty sure this was from my pastor. It's kind 585 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: of once you read through, it's fairly self explained to her. 586 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: But we all do that. We think we gotta have 587 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 2: the nicest, this the nicest, that does it matter. I 588 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: think the other way you used to put it. It 589 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: doesn't matter if you're in first class or you're in coach. 590 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 2: We all go into the same place. The plane is 591 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 2: gonna end up landing at the same spot. But where 592 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: you get so caught up in this standard of living, 593 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: this standard. We gotta have this nice thing, I gotta 594 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 2: have luxury, this, I gotta have this car, this house, 595 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: And you're not concerned enough about the life, the standard 596 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: of the life you're living. So I always loved that quote. 597 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that came from. 598 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: A past that's always the default, but I guess there's 599 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: really no other source. You want to read it for 600 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: us one more time? 601 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: Yes, folks, as you go about you today, consider this. 602 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: We've confused standard of living with standard of life. Doesn't 603 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 2: matter if you're in a board or bentley. What matters 604 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: is the road you're rolling on. So I hope you 605 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: are rolling on a good road this weekend. Please everybody, socially, 606 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: those out there on the West coast, we are still 607 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: thinking about you in LA.

So 609 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 2: we appreciate you running with us as always been. 610 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: Now our teacher and I'm Amy Robot, have a great weekend. 611 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: Everyone m
