33
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Game three of the NBA Finals last night, Rhodes. I

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: made a mistake not long ago, and I went to

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: sleep on a game earlyer than I should have, and

36
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: I missed the comeback. It's not gonna happen again.

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: How you feeling today with that less than three hours

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,240

00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: You look pretty tired.

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: I am chipper as I can be.

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: This is the eyes. It's in the eyes. It's gonna

43
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: be lids, all right. We're going to begin our run

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: with more on those protests in LA and across the country.

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: President Trump will face off against California Governor Gavin Newsom

46
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: in court today, and we say face off, so to speak.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Newsom and his state sued the Trump administration after the

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: President sent in National Guard and Marines in response to

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: all that on rest in downtown LA. They're challenging the

50
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: constitutionality of Trump's moveth.

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: All right, So with all that's getting worked out in court,

52
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: things were a little calmer on the streets of downtown

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: LA for the sixth day of anti ice protest. The

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: curfew seem to be working for a second straight night,

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: though there were sporadic clashes and authorities at one point

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: declared unlawful assembly around city hall. These protests are catching

57
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,279
Speaker 2: on in more than a dozen US city San Antonio, Philadelphia,

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Denver, Spokane, Seattle, New York, just to name

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: a few.

60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, New York. We watched it again from our apartment window,

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: seeing all the folks gathering, but again fairly peacefully, with

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: a lot of signs and a lot of shouting and

63
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: even marching bands. The Texas governor announced he will be

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: deploying his States National Guard in anticipation of demonstrations there.

65
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: We've already seen some in Austin and in Dallas. There

66
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: was also a protest outside the arena for Game three

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals, which TJ just mentioned. Will have

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: much more on that that, of course, happened in Indianapolis.

69
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: I will continue our run now. With the co founder

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: and creative mastermind behind the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, has

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: passed away at the age of eighty two. His bandmate

72
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: said Wilson wasn't just the heart of the Beach Boys,

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: he was the soul of our sounds. The melodies he

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note

75
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: changed the course of music forever.

76
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Wilson's family made the announcement of his passing on social media,

77
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: saying they are heartbroken and at a loss for words

78
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: right now, adding that while they are asking for privacy,

79
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: they realize that we are sharing our grief with the world.

80
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: Wilson founded The Beach Boys in the early nineteen sixties

81
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: and with his brothers, his cousin and a good friend,

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: and by nineteen sixty three they had their first big hit.

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: I think you might have heard it before surfing USA

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: from there. Their hits are endless and timeless. My nineteen

85
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: year old has the Beach Boys on loop. She loves

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: their music.

87
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: So here we go. Help me, Ronda, I get around

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: California girls. Good vibrations. God only knows. Wouldn't he be nice?

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: I could sing all of those right now. They're just

90
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: so familiar.

91
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: See here's the weird thing to me. I can too.

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: But I never grew up with Beach Boys in the house.

93
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, you say the name Brian Wilson,

94
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: it didn't come to mind. That is not an insult

95
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: to It's more of a compliment. I never sought out

96
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 2: their music, but it was ubiquitous, ubiquitous in my life.

97
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: It's everywhere, to the point I know the lyrics to

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: every single one of their songs, even though I didn't

99
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: grow up seeking out the music.

100
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: Ah and they it's their sound was so fun. It

101
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: was like summer fun, happy good times, Like you feel

102
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: joyful when you hear their music. Yeah.

103
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 2: So thirty singles in the top forty with worldwide sales

104
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: of more than on one hundred million. Wilson had several

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: career achievements. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll

106
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame with the Beach Boys. That was in

107
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight. He's also in the Songwriters Hall of Fame,

108
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: and he was also recognized by the Kennedy Center Honors.

109
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: After his wife died last year, Wilson's publicist and his

110
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: manager became co conservators of him because he had a

111
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: major neurocognitive disorder and he needed full time care and

112
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: a full time care giver. Wilson is survived by his daughters.

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: You might know them Carney and Wendy. They are two

114
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: thirds of the singing trio Wilson Phillips, and five other

115
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: children he adopted with his second wife, as well as grandchildren.

116
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: But so many celebrities have reacted to the passing of

117
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Brian Wilson. I love what Elton John said. He said

118
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: that Brian Wilson was the biggest influence on my songwriting ever.

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: And if you love the Beach Boys and you followed them,

120
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: we certainly have them in studio with us several times,

121
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: but John Stamos would sometimes be the drummer for them

122
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: when they would go on tour. He said, Brian Wilson

123
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: didn't just soundtrack my life. He filled it with color,

124
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: with wonder and some of the most unforgettable emotional joyful

125
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: moments I have ever known.

126
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: It's got to be one of the most influential groups

127
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: in the history of music. And to lose and to

128
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: hear them say, yes, it was a group, but to

129
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: hear them say that he was the key, he was

130
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: the mastermind. I mean, this is music royalty, this is

131
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: music legend and genius that we just lost on a

132
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: level we don't see that often.

133
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll be definitely playing some Beach Boys music today.

134
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: All right, I want to continue on the run here

135
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: with another sad passing. Ananda Lewis, long time and wildly

136
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: popular MTVVJ, has died at the age of fifty two.

137
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: She was with MTV for its heyday, hosting several shows

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: including Total Request Live and if you have a certain age,

139
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: certainly remember TRL.

140
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

141
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: Her sister released the statement saying that Lewis was now

142
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: quote free and in his heaven lyon Ah.

143
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: This is deeply personal for me because this is just

144
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: so sad. Lewis was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and she spoke openly about her decision

146
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: to go against doctor's advice to have a double mistectomy.

147
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: And it's a decision she said she ended up regretting.

148
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: She admitted this in a CNN interview just last year.

149
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: This is what she said. Her plan at first was

150
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt

151
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: like my body is intelligent. I know that to be true.

152
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Our bodies are brilliantly made. I decided to keep my

153
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: tumor and try to work it out of my body

154
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,119
Speaker 1: a different way. She says. I wish I could go back.

155
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: It's important for me to admit where I went wrong

156
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: with this. So she started out with stage three breast cancer.

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: She didn't go through with the treatments her doctors had suggested,

158
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: and then her cancer unfortunately metastasized, became stage four and sadly,

159
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: Lewis passed away. She leaves behind the sun, but her sister.

160
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: She said so many beautiful things about her, and so

161
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: many people have wonderful memories of her. And I appreciate

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: the fact that she went on and said that publicly

163
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: because some of these decisions, all of these decisions truly

164
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: about your body and dealing with cancer, are deeply personal.

165
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: But she wanted to let other women know that she

166
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: regretted her decision not to have surgery.

167
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: Well deeply personal, you say, and I guess every decision

168
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: feels like it's life or death. And she for her

169
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: to come out admit I was wrong. I wish I'd

170
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: done something different. She talked about she needs to be

171
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: around for her son. This was tub, but it was important. Look,

172
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: she left a hell of a legacy. And you remember

173
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: she was the it girl. She was hot is anything

174
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: I'm hot, not talking about physically, which is thoughtful. She

175
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: was very beautiful, but she was just the it girl

176
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: everywhere doing everything for a long time. And she had

177
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: a great energy. And she's one of those. She's a

178
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: dear friend of a dear friend of mine and first

179
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: met her at a wedding that I was actually m

180
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: seeing and so her energy everything you saw on she

181
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: jumped out at you with a wild, infectious energy about her.

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: And so that's tough, but a lesson. She has taught

183
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: us all and we appreciate that. So stay with us

184
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: here though on this morning run folks. When we come back,

185
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: we'll get you updated about what's going on in the

186
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Diddy trial. Also let you know what happened in the

187
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: Harvey Weinstein trial. This guy is uh, yes, he's just

188
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: been found guilty, but what in the world is going

189
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: on in the jury room? Also an update on r Kelly.

190
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 2: He says, get me out of prison right now because

191
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: somebody is trying to kill me. All right, welcome back, folks.

192
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: We will continue on our run now with the Diddy trial.

193
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: This is officially week five, day twenty two of the trial,

194
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: and today Jane will be back on the stand for

195
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: the sixth straight day, testifying under that pseudonym to protect

196
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: her identity. Jane dated Shawn Combs up until last year

197
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 2: and is a key prosecution witness, one of four victims

198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: the government has based its case on.

199
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: She has been testifying to a pattern of abuse and

200
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: control by Combs in which she felt obligated, she says,

201
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: to participate in so called freak offs. Yesterday, under cross examination,

202
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Jane cried several times as the defense went through some

203
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: loving and at times explicit messages between her and Diddy,

204
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: and at times having Jane read her own words aloud.

205
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: The defense has been trying to establish the Jane's participation

206
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: in their hotel nights or freak offs was consensual and

207
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: not a matter of coercion.

208
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: Deamn part of making the case, they pointed out that

209
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: Jane had a two month stretch of her relationship in

210
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: which she saw Diddy one on one. There were no

211
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: freak COFs, point there being that doesn't sound like coersion,

212
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: does sound like sex trafficking? You showed up for two

213
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: months and this seemed to be a one on one

214
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: relationship as well. She is expected to spend this day

215
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: on the stand as well, supposed to be her last day.

216
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: And get this, The prosecution told the judge they expect

217
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: to rent their case as early as next Wednesday and

218
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: by the latest next Friday.

219
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: All right, and then the defense gets to make their

220
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: case to the jurors as well. But before testimony even

221
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: begins this morning, as I mentioned jurors, well, the judge

222
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: is expected to address the government's request to kick one

223
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: juror off the jury. This has been a developing issue

224
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: all week and yesterday prosecutors told the judge that after

225
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: investigating one particular juror, they concluded he showed a lack

226
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: of candor with the court. That raises serious questions.

227
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: Now, what does that sound like? Lack of candor with

228
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: the court. It sounds like he kept something.

229
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: From them, tell them something that they needed to know.

230
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: It needs to all right, So it has been made

231
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: clear this week what exactly the issue is with this juror,

232
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: But whatever the issue is, that the defense has no

233
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: problem with this juror and is asking the judge to

234
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: keep him, saying the government is making a quote thinly

235
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: veiled effort to dismiss a black juror. Now, if juror

236
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: were to be dismissed, would be the first time that

237
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: a jury has been dismissed in this case. In Robes,

238
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: I've forgot to mention here what was a few weeks

239
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: ago the judge got on to Diddy for making too

240
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: much eye contact and acknowledging and almost communicating with one

241
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: juror in particular.

242
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: So we don't know if that's the same juror, but

243
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: we will have more information today when that trial resumes

244
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: next up on the Run, Though, singer and convicted sex

245
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: trafficker are Kelly says there is a murder for higher

246
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: plot against him in prison, orchestrated by prison officials. The

247
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: fifty eight year old Singer has been behind bars since

248
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, serving a thirty year sentence for racketeering

249
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: and sex trafficking.

250
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: His lawyers are asking that Kelly be moved from federal

251
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: prison to home detention after they claim three prison officials

252
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: have been plotting to have a fellow inmate kill him Okay.

253
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: His attorneys released this statement, quote, Federal officers have solicited

254
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: the murder of R. Kelly because he intends to expose

255
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: the corruption underlying his federal prosecutions. We have filed our

256
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: motion to make sure that they fail. The only thing

257
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: that can protect mister Kelly behind the prison walls now

258
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: is the fact that now the world is watching, and

259
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: we will call on the courts and President Trump to

260
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: help put an end to the corruption that now threatens

261
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: mister Kelly's life.

262
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: Kelly's lawyers provided a sworn statement from that inmate, who

263
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: says officials offered to release him because he has a

264
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: terminal illness if he murdered Kelly. That inmate also claims

265
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: he was previously instructed to order beatings and killings of

266
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: other inmates by prison officials and says he was transferred

267
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: this spring to the facility where Kelly is being held

268
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: and placed in the same unit as him to carry

269
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: out their orders. The Bureau of Prisons had no comment

270
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: on these allegations, saying they will not comment on pending

271
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: litigation or matters that are the subject of legal proceedings.

272
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: This is a wild story.

273
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: Um, it sounds like some wild conspiracy theory. But we

274
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: will see how this one plays out. But asking for

275
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: r Kelly to be released immediately at sinhom that's probably

276
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: not probably a tall order, not gonna happen, all right,

277
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: we go from a Diddy to R Kelly to now

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: Harvey Weinstein. Yes, we turned to the Harvey Weinstein trial,

279
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: where there's a partial verdict in the case and apparently

280
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: a hot mess in the jury room. The former Hollywood

281
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: heavyweight has been on trial in New York for sex crimes,

282
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: and after five days of deliberations, the jury came back

283
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: yesterday and said guilty of criminal sexual misconduct against one woman,

284
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: not guilty of that same charge against another woman. But

285
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: then the jury said they were deadlocked on a third

286
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: count of rape.

287
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: And before all of this there was some unusual jury activity. First,

288
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: the jury four persons sent a note to the judge

289
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: which read, cannot go back inside with those people. Those

290
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: people being his fellow jurors. His note led the judge

291
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: to call him into his chambers for a meeting in

292
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: which the foreman said the jurors were attacking each other. Yea.

293
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: He told the judge he didn't feel safe going back

294
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: in there because one juror told him he'd see him outside.

295
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: What is happening? So how the judge handle all this,

296
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: you might wonder. He told him to get their butts

297
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: back in there, come back today, continued deliberating and try

298
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: to come to a conclusion on the one count they're

299
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: deadlocked on. And a reminder, all this going on, this

300
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: was part of a retrial. He was previously convicted of

301
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: some of these charges and then that was thrown out

302
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: on a procedural matter. But even forget all that, he's

303
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: already serving a sixteen year prison sentence for convictions in California.

304
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: And this is in New York. So it's actually kind

305
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: of I don't want to say his point less because

306
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I know the victims want justice and all of that,

307
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: but he's already serving sixteen years. He is in extremely

308
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: poor health, so any more years on his sentence, I

309
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: don't know how actually how much time he'll actually serve

310
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: extra beyond this sixteen years. But we shall see what

311
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: happens in court today. All right, Next up on our

312
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: run Terry Moran has spoken, and he did not give

313
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: an apology or even an explanation for his blistering tweet

314
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: that cost him his job at ABC.

315
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: I at least wanted an explanation. Maybe I wanted to

316
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: know what this was about. But Moran was initially suspended

317
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: after his social media post in which he referred to

318
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: both President Trump and his deputy chief of staff as

319
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: world class haters. He said a whole bunch of other

320
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: very personal stuff in there attacking them. But ABC News

321
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: went further after initially suspending him and announced yesterday that

322
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: Moran wouldn't return to the network.

323
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: Moran had an announcement of his own yesterday, posting a

324
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: video on x of himself sitting behind a desk with

325
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: a bookshelf behind him, and he spoke directly to the camera.

326
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: He starts his message with this cheeky line. For almost

327
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight years, I was a reporter and anchor at

328
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: ABC News. As you may have heard, I'm not there anymore.

329
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: Okay, And that's where he left it. He said, I'm

330
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: not there any or I'm now here. On substack, he's

331
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: announcing that he is doing something with Substack. He didn't

332
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: give a lot of details about what he'll be doing,

333
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: but said he wants to get at it on the

334
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: important work that we all have to do.

335
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: So everything sounds fairly deliberate and intentional.

336
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they announced that he's not coming back to the network,

337
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: and hours later he announced that he's got something else cooking.

338
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well that was one of our conjectures

339
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: that perhaps he went out with the blaze of glory intentionally.

340
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: All right. The final leg of our run takes us

341
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis for Game three of the NBA Finals between

342
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder. This was

343
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: the first NBA Finals game in this basketball crazed city

344
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: in twenty five years, and their hometown Pacers made it

345
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: a special night. Yeah.

346
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 2: They won this game one, sixteen, one oh seven in

347
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: front of a really fun, exuberant home crowd. It was

348
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: cool to see them. This is love, this is Indiana,

349
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: this is where basketball was born. They breathe the stuff, so.

350
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: That measures that's what you think of.

351
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: It's really cool to see them having a nice moment again.

352
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: So now the Pacers up to one in the series.

353
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: Game four is going to be Friday night in Indianapolis,

354
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: as well.

355
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: Okay, at least if it's Friday night, you can sleep

356
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: in on Saturday mornings, so maybe I'll even watch it

357
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: with you dead.

358
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: It's worth it. But maybe we should get through my eyes.

359
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: I swear you're so heavy. Okay, oh, I know it's

360
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: very true, all right, so we'll get through this very quickly.

361
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Here is our quote of the day, something we'd like

362
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: you to consider it as you go about your day today.

363
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: You might use this one too, TJ. Whether you think

364
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: you can or you think you can't, you're right. That

365
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: is from Henry Ford, and I love that the power

366
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: of our thoughts. It's real. So if you think you

367
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: can stay awake, TJ, you can.

368
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: And if I think I can't, I'll probably be napping soon.

369
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: But with that tug that with you today, folks, whether

370
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: you think you can or you think you can't, you

371
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: are right. And with that we always appreciate you running

372
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: with us.

373
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: I am Tjing and I'm Amy Robot. Have a wonderful

374
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: day today and will see you on the run tomorrow.

375
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: M
