1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone, 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: and welcome to Morning Run. It's Friday, October third. I'm 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: Amy Robot. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: And I'm TJ. Holmes. We've been talking about that day, 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: Friday October third for a while. Ropes, I cannot believe 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: the day is here. We're going to find out how 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 2: long did he is going to stay in prison? 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: Yes, and this comes after he made a well a 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: last minute plea basically to the judge, writing a letter. 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: We haven't heard from him directly throughout all of this, 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: but now. 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: We have, so that is something we're keeping an eye 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: on on the run this morning. Also, everybody's talking about it. 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: I found it weird this juxtaposition of these two, I mean, 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 2: absolute superstars in music. Certainly, what did he was, what 16 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: his day is versus what Taylor Swift day is. This 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: is a huge day, monumental historic. The album is finally 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: here and it seems like it's her and Travis Kelsey's album. 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's true you might imagine that album. The 20 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: twelfth album dropped at twelve oh one this morning, and 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: swifty fans probably haven't slept much. 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: Also, in some music news, Keith Urban was on stage 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: for the first time since news of his divorce from Nicole. 24 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: Kimmy will tell you what happened there. Also make it 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: seems like every couple of years they tell me they 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: found Amelia Earhart's plan. 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: Yes, the last time it was a rock formation, okay, 28 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: but this time, this time they say, this is what 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: they think is actually the wreckage of Amelia airparts plane. 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: We'll tell you why they are so sure. Also, that 31 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: statue we told you about they took down from the 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: National Mall with Epstein and Trump holding hands. We thought 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: that was going to be the end of it. It 34 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: was up, then it was gone, but now it's back. 35 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: It's pretty funny actually when you hear what the anonymous 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: group that got it back up on the mall had 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: to say in their official statement. You'll have to wait 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: for that. 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: All right. And then story you have to hear this morning. 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: It has people in tears, it has people enraged in 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: some ways. But a fundraiser after a mass shooting, but 42 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: the fundraisers not for the victims. I haven't heard of 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: a story like this before. 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: I haven't either, But this is the ultimate turning the 45 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: other cheek. What would Jesus do moment, and I found 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: it to be unbelievably powerful. 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: Really, story of the morning. Probably there also, as we 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: continue to get going on this Friday morning run, when 49 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: it reminds you all that top right corner of the 50 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: Apple podcast app where you see our show page, little 51 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: button says follow, just hit that you can get our 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: updates coming to you all the time. 53 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: All right. Also on the run this morning, a synagogue 54 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: attack on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. A 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: megachurch pastor is going to jail, a young climber has 56 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: died at Yosemite. Trump and Governor Newsom using money as leverage. 57 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: And Apple removes an app because the administration told them 58 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: to do it. So that'll be an interesting and somewhat 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: controversial story. But we do begin our run on this Friday. 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: In Washington, d C. The Senate today will vote to 61 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: end the government shut down. All right, don't get your 62 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: hopes up. It is fully expected that this shutdown will 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: continue through the weekend and into next week. 64 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: Almost a waste of time. Nobody's expecting this thing to pass. 65 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 2: So Democrats, as you know, they are dug in over 66 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: healthcare subsidies and Medicaid cuts. They refuse to sign a 67 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: temporary measure to keep the government open while negotiations continue. Meanwhile, 68 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: Republicans just want to negotiate, and they have refused to 69 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: give in to Democrats' demands. So here we are. We 70 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: wait till Monday, we see what happens. The President continues 71 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: to threaten furloughs are one thing, but now he's talking 72 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: about permanent firings through this shutdown. Now, so there is 73 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: the pain is just getting started, all right. 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, we're going to head across 75 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: the pond to an attack on a synagogue on the 76 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: whole day of the year for the Jewish community. It's 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: left two dead and three others injured, and police are 78 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: calling it a terrorist incident. But this morning we are 79 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: just getting worried that one of the two people killed 80 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: was actually killed by police gunfire. 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, this was yesterday morning. Now. Police say the folks 82 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: were gathering for service outside that synagogue for Yam Kapor 83 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 2: when someone pulled up and just started ramming his car 84 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: into people who were outside. Again, this is a synagogue 85 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: in Manchester, England. He rammed people with his car, then 86 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: got out and started attacking them with a knife. The 87 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: suspect was eventually shot and killed by police. They've identified 88 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: him as thirty five year old Jihad al Shami, a 89 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: British citizen of Syrian descent. They say three other people 90 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: were arrested in connection with this. But we just got 91 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: this morning robe, just really minutes before we were about 92 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: to record. Police said that one of the victims had 93 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: gunshot injuries. Inspect did not have firearms, just a knife. 94 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: And then now one of the people in the hospital 95 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: also they've discovered gunshot injuries. So that is it is 96 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: just tough to hear. They were trying to take down 97 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: the gunman and this happened. Excuse me, take to how 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: the knife wielding man and this happened. 99 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, this is a developing story, and of 100 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: course we'll stay on top of it. But next up 101 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: on the Run, Speaking of developing stories, Diddy speaks. We 102 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 1: are hearing directly from Sean Combs for the very first 103 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: time since his arrest, his trial and his convictions, and 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: for the first time we're hearing him apologize. Combs is 105 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: scheduled to be in court today for sentencing, but yesterday, 106 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: on the eve of his sentencing, he wrote and submitted 107 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: a four page letter to the judge in his case, 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: pleading for mercy and a second chance. 109 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: This was it's been over a year. Are he've said 110 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: words sparingly throughout the trial, Yes, sir, No, you're on 111 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: it with little stuff. 112 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: You're doing a great job. You're honor. 113 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Little All to hear directly from him is a 114 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: fascinating read. He starts out, I want to apologize and 115 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: say how sincerely sorry I am for all the hurt 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: and pain that I have caused others by my conduct. 117 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: I take full responsibility and accountability for my past wrongs. 118 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: This has been the hardest two years of my life, 119 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: and I have no one to blame for my current 120 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 2: reality and situation but myself. That is a look. A 121 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: lot of people say, Yah, we don't buy that. Of course, 122 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: he's just trying to get out of it. 123 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: He's sorry, he's facing eleven years in prison, is what 124 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: a lot of people would say. 125 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: But at one point in the letter as well, he 126 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: acknowledges the enormous amount of press his arrest and trial 127 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: have received and says to the judge, quote, your honor 128 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: may be inclined to make an example out of me. 129 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: I would ask your honor to make me an example 130 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: of what a person can do if afforded a second chance, 131 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: if you allow me to go home to my family, 132 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: I promise I will not let you down and I 133 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: will make you proud.

Diddy's defense team has argued for a 138 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: fourteen month sentence. Prosecutors want those eleven years, all. 139 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: Right, continue on the run now here. On this Friday morning, 140 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: we head to the National Mall where it's back that 141 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: ten foot statue of President Trump holding hands and frolicking. 142 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: Hill. I needed to use that word again. It was 143 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: my favorite. 144 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: If we go outside today and frolic. What does that 145 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: look like. Let's go frolic. 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, we hold hands in skip frolick. That's what it 147 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: looks like they're doing. 148 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: Oh I've never frolicked then, but it looked like these 149 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: two were in the statue. So the National Park Service 150 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: quickly removed it one day after it was put up. 151 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: They removed it because it was not compliant with an 152 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: issued permit, they say, But late Thursday afternoon it was 153 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: back on full display. 154 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: The statue, originally titled Best Friends Forever, has a new 155 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: name why Can't We Be Friends, and has been repaired 156 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: after it suffered damage while being taken down last week. 157 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: An anonymous group of artists called the Secret Handshake was 158 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: able to get a new permit and returned the statue 159 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: to the National Mall for a limited time, releasing this 160 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: in an email. Just like a toppled Confederate general forced 161 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: back onto a public square, the Donald Trump Jeffrey Epstein 162 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: statue has risen from the rubble to stand gloriously on 163 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: the National Mall once again. 164 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so they have a sense of humor, Yes they do. 165 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: Over there, the White House and not comment on the 166 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: reinstallment of the statue, but referred reporters to the statement 167 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: last week when the statue was first placed on the mall, 168 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: where they said, liberals are free to waste their money 169 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: however they see fit. But it's not news that Epstein 170 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: knew Donald Trump because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of 171 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: his club for being a creep. 172 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: Okay, ah, yes, limited time. I already saw pictures online 173 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: of people getting selfies with it. It's quite the spectacle 174 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: in DC. 175 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: If we went to DC week probably we absolutely. 176 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: Would, all right. Next up on the Run, Apple has 177 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: removed an app from its app store because the White 178 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: House told them to. The app is called ice Block, 179 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: and it allowed people to exchange information about ice sightings. 180 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 2: It launched in April, but after complaints from the administration, 181 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: Apple says it removed ice Block and others like it, saying, quote, 182 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: based on information we've received from law enforcement about the 183 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 2: safety risks associated with ice Block, we have removed it. However, 184 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 2: Attorney General Pam Bondi put it this way. We reached 185 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: out to Apple today demanding they remove the ice Block 186 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: app from their app store, and Apple did so. That's 187 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: so good. Bondi also said the app was designed to 188 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: put ice agents at risk. It just kind of gave 189 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: people a heads up. You could report if you saw 190 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: ice agents. This wasn't a place where you could identify them. 191 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: That was not a doxing situation, but it would let 192 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: you know if folks were in the a five mile 193 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: radius of use. 194 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: It's kind of like ways when you get the police 195 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: reports and your speeding and you can slow down. I mean, 196 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: it saved me from many speeding tickets, So that's what 197 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: I would think. It was kind of akin to all right, 198 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: next up on the run, admitting stuff that I've sped 199 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: before in my life. 200 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 2: You just said it so casually. 201 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Well, it's like, you know, I try to keep it 202 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: at ten miles over the speed limit, but I don't 203 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: want a ticket. I appreciate Wasers for giving me the 204 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: heads up. All right, Next called Waser. Yeah, we're Wazers. 205 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: Didn't just make that. 206 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: No, that is a thing. When you use ways, they 207 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: actually have little icons of your car and you're a Wazer. 208 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 2: I did not know this. 209 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you get points for like letting people know 210 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: about things that are coming up, whether it's debris in 211 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: the road or if it because then when you get points, 212 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: you can make your Waser icon cooler and cuter. Oh yeah, 213 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: it's a whole thing. 214 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: I had no idea. Yep, I'm a loser, not a Wazer. 215 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: Or maybe I'm the loser. All right, Next up on 216 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: the run, a dilemma for California colleges. Do they play 217 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: nice with President Trump or do they play nice with 218 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: Governor Gavin Newsom? Millions and potentially billions of dollars are 219 00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: at stake. 220 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 2: All right, who would you side? You to go with Trump? A, 221 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: You're gonna hedge your bets with Newsom? All right. President 222 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: Trump has ass nine major universities to sign a pledge 223 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: committing to the White House Agenda. I'm priorities such as 224 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: accepting the administration's definition of gender, women's sports admissions policies. 225 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: They don't want race considered, and so on and so on. 226 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: So In exchange for signing the pledge, the schools would, 227 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: as the administration puts it, receive multiple positive benefits, such 228 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: as substantial and meaningful federal grants and increased overhead payment. 229 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: In other words, you want this money, you better cooperate. 230 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: But California Governor Gavin Newsom has countered and threatened to 231 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: take away state funding from any school that signs the 232 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: Trump Pledge. As he put it, California will not bankroll 233 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: schools that sell out their students, professors, researchers, and surrender 234 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: academic freedom. However, at this point, only one California school 235 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: has been asked by Trump to sign the pact, and 236 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: that's us C. 237 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Other schools Texas, Virginia, Brown, Mit, Even and penn 238 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: As well, have been asked to sign this play. This 239 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: is a different one. He's taken money away before this, right, 240 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: that seems like a threat. 241 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: This seems like a bride a bride. 242 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 2: Yes, all gangster, but it's oh my goodness, all right. 243 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: Next up on the run here, we're going to head 244 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 2: out to Yosemite, folks. A climber there has died after 245 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 2: a fall from one of the most famous and challenging 246 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 2: rock climbing formations in the world. And he was a 247 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 2: live streaming at the time. 248 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: Oh, this is such a sad story. Ballin Miller was 249 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: just twenty three years old, but he was already an 250 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: accomplished climber. He was in Yusemite, Yosemite to climb l Copyitan, 251 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: an incredible three thousand foot granite wall that attracts big 252 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: time climbers from around the world. Think of Alex Hanold 253 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: from free solo documentary Whoever I watched that It is 254 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: remarkable but certainly has inspired a lot of other climbers 255 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: to try and follow in his steps. An investigation is underway, 256 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: but here's what we know from Mill family right now. 257 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we mentioned Alex hanelld The reason that was 258 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: so incredible because he free sooloed that thing. He climbed 259 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: this sucker without a single rope. I find that to 260 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: be the most incredible athletic feet a human being has 261 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: ever accomplished. Quite frankly, now, Miller was not free soloing 262 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: this climb. Now that's the first thing you kind of think, 263 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. He was up there, he wasn't attached 264 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,599 Speaker 2: and he fell. Well, he was lead soloing. That's a 265 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: different technique that allows you to climb alone but still 266 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: use a rope for safety. He had actually made it 267 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: to the top. He made it to the summit, but 268 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: he needed to retrieve some equipment that had gotten stuck, 269 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: and they believe he was trying to repel down and 270 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: get it and that's when he actually fell. So not 271 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 2: during the climb. The challenging party was just clickting his 272 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: You know. 273 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: That most deaths of mountain climbers happens on the descent 274 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: from Everest on down. When you hear about these accidents, Look, 275 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: you're tired, your muscles are exhausted from doing the incredible 276 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: feat that I'm sure he accomplished, So you're not at 277 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: your best when you're coming down, and that's when oftentimes 278 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: it happens. 279 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 2: He had been live streaming for a couple of days 280 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: during the climb, and many people reported the horror and 281 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: seeing this incident take place. 282 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, His mom wrote this. It is with a heavy heart. 283 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: I have to tell you my incredible son, Balon Miller 284 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: died during a climbing accident today. My heart is shattered 285 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: in a million pieces. I don't know how I will 286 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: get through this. I love him so much. I want 287 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: to wake up from this horrible nightmare. This is the 288 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: second climber. 289 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: Death, second one we have seen this summer at Yoseimone. 290 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: The other was I think it was an eighteen year 291 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: old different rock formation, but also died. It was actually 292 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: free soloing. Wow fell all right, continue on the run 293 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: here now. At Texas megachurch pastor has pleaded guilty to 294 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 2: sexually abusing a child and it's heading to jail. Robert 295 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 2: Morris pleaded guilty to five counts of lewd and indecent 296 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: acts with the child. 297 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: Morris is the founder of Gateway Church in South Lake, Texas, 298 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: and before he resigned last year, it was one of 299 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: the largest congregations in the country. Prosecutors say the abuse 300 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: began in the eighties, when Morris was a traveling evangelist 301 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: and the girl was just twelve years old. Morris was 302 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: staying with the girls' family in Oklahoma and the abuse 303 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: continued for four years. He received a ten year suspended sentence, 304 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: so he'll only serve six months of that in jail, 305 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: and he's only going to serve that as part of 306 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: a plea. 307 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: Deale, do you hear about the crime?

He talked about his parents. 340 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: He talked about how they put everything on hold to 341 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: give him his music career, let him drop out of 342 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: school so yes, he was talking and engaging with the audience, 343 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: but did not reference what's happening. 344 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: And I imagine what that felt like to go out there, mate. 345 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: You know what, it probably felt pretty good. All those 346 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: people love and support them. Maybe it did feel good there. 347 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: Continuing on the run here on this Friday, could the 348 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 2: mystery behind a million Earhart's disappearance finally be sawved? Researchers 349 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: from Purdue University believe they have found Amelia Earharts lost 350 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: playings there there is very strong evidence that an object 351 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: on a remote island in the South Pacific is the 352 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: wreck of her aircraft. 353 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: Five years ago, researchers saw what they called a visual 354 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: anomaly in a satellite image in a lagoon on a 355 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: small island halfway between Australia and Hawaii. It's about four 356 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: hundred miles from where Earhart was scheduled to land next. 357 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: The underwater object has been visible now as they've gone 358 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: back in photos dating back to nineteen thirty eight, that 359 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: is the year after she disappeared. So after years now 360 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: of studying these satellite images and cross referencing all the 361 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: historical data they have a team of Purdue researchers is 362 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: now planning a trip next month to that island to 363 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: inspect the object for themselves. 364 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: I would absolutely pay for a ticket to go along 365 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 2: for this. This is fascinating. They're going to take photos, 366 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: videos of the site and then use sonar devices to 367 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: scan the area before ultimately lifting the underwater object out 368 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 2: of the lagoon to inspect it, where they hope to 369 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: find the smoking gun proof that yes, this is finally 370 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: a Millia Earhart's plane that we have found. Now research 371 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: is acknowledge. We could be wrong, they. 372 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: Did say that, but there's a butt. They think the 373 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: evidence is very very strong that this is in fact 374 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: what it is. There have been rumors and speculation that 375 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: she and her passenger were actually stranded on this island, 376 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: and so they're going to be looking to see if 377 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: that is in fact the case. Could she have survived 378 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: the crash, Could they have lived on this remote island 379 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: with no way of communicating with the world. It is fascinating, 380 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: all right. Next up on the run. There have been 381 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: multiple fundraisers set up following that church shooting in Michigan, 382 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: where a gunman drove into a Mormon church, opened fire, 383 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: and then set fire to the building, killing four people 384 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: and injuring eight others. I mean, this was atrocious and horrific, 385 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: But among them there is a remarkable and surprising fundraiser. 386 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, a member of a Mormon church out of Utah 387 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 2: has set up a fundraiser that has reached three hundred 388 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: and thirty thousand dollars as of this recording at least, 389 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: but those proceeds are not going to the victim's families. Instead, 390 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 2: it's going to the family of the gunman. Dave Butler 391 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 2: said he felt compelled to start the fundraiser because the shooter, 392 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 2: Thomas Jacob Sandford's wife and young son, are also victims. 393 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: Butler said it seems obvious to me that it is 394 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: awful to be shot or to lose a loved one 395 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: to the shooter in such an event, and it is 396 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: also awful if your loved one who dies in the 397 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: event is the shooter. Butler said most of the messages 398 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: he's received have been positive, and you can read I 399 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: was reading some of the comments. They're all very positive. 400 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: But he said there have been a few who have 401 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: called him evil, saying he's trying to just get attention, 402 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: and they've actually demanded that he shut down the fundraiser. 403 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: Which he's not going to do. But I loved his 404 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: response to all of that. It was beautiful. 405 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: His response. If you can't see that is turning the 406 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: other cheek and mourning with those who mourn, and taking 407 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: care of the least among us, and seeking to be 408 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 2: one and being peacemakers and caring for the widows and orphans. 409 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 2: If your response to this is to criticize Mormons or 410 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: to try and cut them out, man, I just think 411 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 2: you're not seeing the love. Man Ah, I don't know 412 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: how to criticize anybody for this he's saying. And he's right. 413 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 2: I always think this about families like man, what they 414 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: have to deal with the rest of their lives. Sometimes 415 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: moms thinking like where did I go wrong? This guy 416 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: had a wife and a child, not involved, not involved 417 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 2: at all, and what is their life going to be? 418 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 2: In that child's life going. 419 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: To be That child apparently has special medical needs. He 420 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: said he's actually reached out and spoken to them, But 421 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: the attorney for the Sanford family said the fundraiser is 422 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: an unprecedented display of compassion and grace for which we 423 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: are deeply grateful. The shooter's sister actually spoke to local 424 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: news media was crying, saying that she was blown away 425 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: by this generosity. So here's the cool thing. Butler thought, Okay, 426 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't have a very big social media following, but 427 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: he just thought it was the right thing to do 428 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: when he was hoping he could raise five thousand dollars 429 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: to bring attention to their loss, and he hoped it 430 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: might help them with a month of costs. More than 431 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: seven thousand people have contributed in forty eight hours, with 432 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: offers from ten dollars to five thousand dollars. But I 433 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: just checked it's at three hundred and thirty two thousand dollars. 434 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: That's life changing money for this family. 435 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: I we've getten in tragedy, we get little sprinkles of Wow. 436 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: Human beings are special. I have to think about the 437 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: Erica Kirk moment and forgiving and this is unbelieving. And 438 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 2: this guy's not tied to. 439 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: No he actually he's a Mormon in Utah. He has 440 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: nothing to do with his church in Michigan. But he 441 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: wanted to show the world that Mormons are christ Like. 442 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 2: That's awesome for. 443 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: The five, I know it. Really it gave me shells 444 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: for the final leg of our run. The weight is 445 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: over At twelve oh one am this morning, Taylor's Swift 446 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: released her much anticipated twelfth album, The Life of a 447 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: show Girl.

I think well they might 453 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: have been.

So this quote of the 501 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: Day on this Friday, TJ is for you because I 502 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: felt like this is exactly something that has, in a 503 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: version come out of your mouth. Okay, what hope is 504 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: not a strategy? 505 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 2: Who said that? 506 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: US Army General Gordon R. Sullivan? 507 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 2: Hope is not a strategy? It does sound like something 508 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: I would say, because what's the thing? Don't try? Do 509 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: it or don't do it? Don't try, don't hope it 510 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 2: works out? Hope that's no good for me. That's not 511 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: going to help me plan my day, my year or whatever. 512 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 2: But there is a line from a Mission Impossible movie 513 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: where the new guy says to Tom Cruise and crew, 514 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 2: hope is not a strategy, and Rebecca Ferguson looks and says, 515 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 2: you must be new here. 516 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's funny because Hillary Clinton said something like 517 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: that as well. I went and looked at this. It's 518 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: been it's been taken and used in different ways. But yes, 519 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: apparently the original sentiment behind those quotes, Hope is not 520 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: a strategy. From US Army General Gordon R. Sullivan. So everybody, yeah, 521 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: figure out what you're gonna do and how you're gonna 522 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: do it. Don't just hope for the best. 523 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: You cannot hope. 524 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: I do love it. I do love hope, but maybe 525 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: in combination with hard work.
