What does she make? 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.680 It looks like she's making salt Mason jars. 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.440 Oh, it's beautiful, It's beauty gorgeous. My infatuation with the 0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.800 show continues with love Megan, is that what it's called. 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.919 She's got fresh herbs and it just makes you want 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.120 to start nesting right. 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:38.960 I've been in a trance with this show. People have 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:40.559 had all kinds of things to say about it, but 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.720 it is my new favorite obsession every morning from this podcast. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:44.880 I want a garden. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.880 I do too. Now, I've never wanted a garden before 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.320 making a Riday. Hey, there's your Megan Markel update on 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.559 this day, folks. But we need to get going on 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.960 this run. There's a lot to get to, including this. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.320 The US says there is now a ceasepire deal. Russia 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.200 immediately says slow down. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.280 Also this Morning we know exactly who to blame for 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.319 that embarrassing group Tech's national security blunder, but Trump says 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:10.240 it's all good. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.880 Plus a congresswoman calls the governor of Texas who uses 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:18.840 a wheelchair governor hot wheels, and she's actually defending the 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:19.680 remark this morning. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.479 Also on this morning's Ron, the pope's personal nurse could 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.880 actually be the guardian angel responsible for him still being alive. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.479 And where is your birth certificate? Well you might need 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.280 it to vote. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.119 Plus this morning, Trump has gone missing from the Colorado 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.119 State Capitol. Tesla could use some good news. It won't 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.639 be found. In this podcast, TikTok removes a disturbing filter, 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:47.360 and a thief finally takes an expensive bathroom break, and yes, 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.280 robes police, we're there to clean up. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.160 Yes, it's a promised update that we will have for 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.120 you that, oh I'm very much looking forward to. But 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.760 we begin our run overseas this morning, where Russia and 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.800 you have agreed to a limited ceasefire, at least we 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:04.480 think they have. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.440 Okay, So what happened was the US announced yesterday that 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.960 the two sides were both on board with a deal 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.560 that calls for the end to military action in the 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.000 Black Sea, and the two countries would no longer attack 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.240 each other's energy infrastructure. Yes, that's a very limited ceasefire, 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.519 but it's something, and it's the first such ceasfire deal 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.679 of any kind during this three year war. 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.240 The deal comes after US officials had separate talks on 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.920 back to back days with Russian and Ukrainian officials in 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.880 Saudi Arabia, and it represents a significant step in the 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.560 right direction, right eh. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.280 Hold on, Yeah, Russia came out later in the day 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.840 and said, sure, we'll go along with the seasfire, but 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.080 only after the US agrees to lift certain sanctions on 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.040 banks and exports. That seemed to catch everybody off guard. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.400 That apparently wasn't a part of the initial deal. So 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.480 after they made the deal, it seems they've classic case 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.160 here of moving the goal post. So President Trump later 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.680 said that, okay, the US is going to look into 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.160 the Kremlin's conditions. 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:09.320 Ukrainian President Zelenski's words, however, not of the minced variety. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.600 Here's what Zelensky had to say about this development. The 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.760 Kremlin is lying again, claiming that the Black Sea ceasefire 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.280 supposedly depends on sanctions Moscow always lies. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.959 Okay, so now where are we. The seafire was supposed 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.320 to go into effect immediately yesterday, but really, who knows 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.000 at this point if Russia is going to adhere to 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.320 what they seem to have agreed to. Now we talk 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.680 about the Black Sea all the time. Why is this significant. 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.480 It's a significant shipping route there for Ukraine, So it's 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.640 very important for their infrastructure, very important for their finances 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.880 in that country. It's a little west of Russia, just 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.920 south of Ukraine if you try to picture that on 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.120 a map. But it's a big deal. So this was 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.960 supposed to be a big deal. Robes And now immediately 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.000 after we're like, wow, there's a ceasefire. Oh there's not. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:57.600 We'll see what today brinks. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.560 How about that? It'll be something new, all right? 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.520 Next up on the run and the big story still brewing. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.800 Back here at home. President Trump says his national security 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.480 advisor has learned his lesson, don't add random reporters to 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.320 a text chain with the national security team when you're 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.839 discussing war plans. 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.560 I thought that might have been national security one oh one, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.880 but that's just me. But yeah, that's the lesson he 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.800 learned after this jaw dropping national security blunder that had 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.400 the White House doing damage control most of the day. Yesterday, 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.320 National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says he is taking full 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.560 responsibility for inadvertently adding the editor in chief of the 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.000 Atlantic to a group tex chain that included the vice presidents, 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.760 the Secretary of Defense, among others, in which they were 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.120 yes in fact, discussing military plans. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.400 Administration officials and the President himself insist that there was 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.520 no classified information in that text chain, but Democrats pounced, 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.800 demanding answers for the White House and hinting at a 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.440 full investigation. I believe it was the New York Times 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:02.359 who had a clever headline that actually represents what I 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.479 have said before that most of us can't stand in 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.560 any type of an argument with anyone that the President attacked, defended, 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.599 and deflected. And that is what has been happening, as 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.359 we see the finger pointing somehow being turned on the 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:22.040 reporter himself and his credibility and the Atlantic's credibility all 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.200 being swept up in this in a way of deflecting 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.160 what actually really happened. But when you hear from Republican lawmakers, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.440 everyone has pretty much just said, Yeah, this was a 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.600 big mistake. Was defend Well, I think it's a defend 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.760 deflect attack, is what the headline said. Now I reverse 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:42.240 the order. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.919 I understand your argument style. Now will we fight? It 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.760 makes more sense to me. 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.679 We'll continue everybody's argument style. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.320 Isn't it that we'll continue on this run before an 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.080 argument breaks out? And this next story is quite a 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.479 disturbing one, but it just goes to show you where 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.479 we are sometimes in politics in this country. We have 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.320 another ugly example of not just lack of decorum, but 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.040 what's often a lack of common decency in our political discourse. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.520 Calls this morning for Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett to be 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:14.240 punished for openly mocking the governor of Texas for his disability. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.200 That's right. At a recent speech, Congresswoman Crockett referred to 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:23.200 Governor Greg Abbott as Governor hot Wheels. Abbot uses a 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.520 wheelchair after he was paralyzed in an accident when he 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.000 was just twenty six years old. 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.159 So Crockett went off script during a speech at the 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.400 Human Rights Campaign event in La over the weekend. You 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.120 can see from the video she had a teleprompter there, 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.159 but there were times where she looked down at notes, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.120 and there were times where she clearly went off script, 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.440 and this is one of those times. This is what 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:48.080 she said, quote, we in these hot ass Texas streets, Honey, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:52.160 y'all know, we got governor hot wheels down there, and 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.080 the only thing hot about him is that he's a 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.360 hot ass mess in quote. Now, she said that you 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:02.520 could hear some not necessarily jears, but certainly laughs and 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.679 some clapping even in the room when she made the comment. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:10.080 Now, she's soundly being criticized, mainly from Republicans, as you 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.400 might imagine, and a Republican congressman says he is going 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:18.600 to introduce a resolution to censure Crockett. That's basically just 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.800 a public flogging, so to speak. There's no actual real 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.760 punishment or consequences, just a public shaming, so to speak. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.400 But Crockett has responded, and she is now saying that 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.160 we got it all wrong writing this on X. That 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.720 she wasn't making a reference to the fact that Abbott 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.400 uses a wheelchair. No, that's not what she meant when 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:41.480 she said hot wheels. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.520 This is what she said she was saying, and I'm 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.160 quoting again. She wrote this own X I wasn't thinking 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.440 about the governor's condition. I was thinking about the planes, trains, 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.960 and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.600 by black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.360 most vulnerable. Goes on to say, literally, the next line 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.960 I said was that he was a hot ass mess, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.080 referencing his terrible policies. At no point that I mention 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.280 or allude to his condition. 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.080 I think a lot of people would take who would 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.480 take an issue with what she said. She absolutely alluded 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.280 to his condition when she said hot wheels, So the 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.400 fact that she said she didn't allude to his condition 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.640 is puzzling. Crockett recently emerged as a prominent voice during 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.240 all of that democratic infighting, and as far as a 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.000 response from Governor Abbott himself, here's what he had to say, 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:33.160 another day, Another disaster for Democrats. They have nothing to 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.240 sell but hate, and a lot of people are hearkening 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.839 back or remembering when President Trump mocked a New York 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.640 Times reporter back in twenty fifteen. I believe, as he 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:48.400 was running for president his first term, about when he 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:53.360 literally imitated him and used hand gestures that mimicked this 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.520 New York Times reporter and Trump, much like Crockett said, no, no, no, no, no, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.280 I wasn't imitating him. I was just showing a reporter 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.319 who is backpedaling from his story. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:09.840 So, okay, this was heartbreaking to hear that this has happened. 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.960 I mean, politics is fine, go at each other, tell 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.080 me you've got terrible policies, you're letting people do this, 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.280 and that you're trying to take away this fine, But 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:22.160 to mock a person that's disabled is just too much. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.200 That's just too much. On both sides. It's fine, But 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.120 then you come back and to give the I know, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.520 you know, I'm more than anybody I want to give folks. 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.040 Take you at your word. But it's almost as if 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.640 she's calling us stupid in her response. At least it 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.400 feel I'm trying to find a way to take her 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.480 at her word. But this was a chance to teach 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.160 two lessons. One, careful what you say in public. Don't 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:45.920 get caught up in a moment, and don't say something 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.240 mean right. That's less than one lesson. Two, When you do, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.120 you immediately take responsibility and you apologize. She could have 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:55.560 had two lessons to teach people here, but she's not 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.360 taking any responsibility for what she said. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.400 It's just really tough. I just think about these types 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.600 of moments end up on TikTok our kids all see them. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.480 What is this teaching our children about how to treat 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.280 one another's do as we say, not as we do? 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.760 What's the backdrop when she said it? Human rights campaign? 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.240 It was terrible, which focuses on what yes, human rights 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:23.240 in particular LGBTQ plus community diversity, inclusion right, treating people 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:23.800 with kindness. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.320 So to make someone who has a disability in the 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:26.920 midst of. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.160 That, if you see the video here, entire backdrop while 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.640 she's making fun of a disabled man is human rights campaign. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.959 They can't. That can't feel good? More to come on that. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.240 We are sure continue on the run here this morning, 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.439 and we're going to start here with a question and robes. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.520 I'll ask you the question, certainly the listeners, this question 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.960 for you. Do you right now know where your birth 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.439 certificate is? Could you get up right now and walk 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.360 to wherever in the home and get it. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.480 I can find my children's birth certificates, but I don't 0:10:58.480 --> 0:10:59.640 believe I could find my own. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.640 Yeah, maybe I have no idea. 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:02.440 I'd call my mom. 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.359 That's what everybody would do, You call your mom. First 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.439 birth certificate. Now we're asking this for a reason, but yes, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.640 interesting enough, there are statistics on this. The nearly ten 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.200 percent of adults in this country do not have proof 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.800 of citizenship birth certificate readily available. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.480 And we mentioned this because President Trump has just signed 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.800 an executive order that says, if you want to register 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.080 to vote, you have to show proof that you are 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.079 in fact a United States citizen. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.440 Yeah, this latest executive order would mean a major overhaul 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.320 of US elections. In an addition to the citizenship requirement, 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.880 it calls for all ballots to be received by election 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.920 day and for states to identify non citizens on their 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.480 voting roles. Congress is considering what it calls the Safe Act, 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.680 which is something that would implement most of these changes anyway, 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.520 but its passage in Congress is unlikely. So the President said, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.040 all right, I'm gonna move. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.400 All them home, and he's going to be sued shortly. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.440 Of course, as has been the case in most of 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.439 these executive orders that we've seen, the Constitution makes it 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.280 very clear estates have the authority to set the time, place, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.320 and manner for elections. So we fully expect this executive 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.800 order to be challenged. Voting rights groups are concerned a 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:15.040 citizenship requirement could disenfranchise certain communities. But look, there are 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.040 a lot of other issues. Like women who got married 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.760 and changed their last names, could they face challenges since 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.120 the name on their birth certificate won't match her ID. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.080 I mean, there's all sorts of issues that could come up. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.400 I didn't think about that. But it might not seem 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.920 like a lot of folks, But I watched you deal 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.400 with something with medical insurance the other day and you 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.560 just finally want to quit. You couldn't write because it 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:35.400 was a medical thing. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.040 But when you think about it, I wanted to. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.400 You wanted to. But if somebody okay, I got to 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.560 go through another step and another step and another step 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.360 just to vote, you're finally going to say, oh, forget it, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.280 and folks will be left out. But they're making it 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.720 more difficult. I didn't realize that we you right now, 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.760 what's the rule? You just swear I promise you I'm 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.200 a US citizen, under threat of perjury, that you're eligible 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:58.880 to vote. That's how it works right now. And you 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.120 provide a driver's license, yous too have to have some 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.040 kind of an ID. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.360 Of course, yeah, or social Security number. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.880 Right, Yeah, that's what it's required now. But it's likely 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.680 not going to go through because it's going to get challenged, 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.720 to get held up in court, like it seems like 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.319 most of his executive orders. 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.000 That's been happening. It's a trend. Next up on our run, 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.560 a ten thousand dollars painting has gone missing from the 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.679 walls of the Colorado State Capitol, just like President Trump wanted. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.679 The painting was off him. He didn't like it, he complained, 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:28.319 and now they have officially taken it down. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.079 Yeah, we told you about this story yesterday. It was 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.040 an oil painting of the President at US hung in 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.640 the Colorado State Capital for the past six years. For 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.160 whatever reason, it came to Trump's attention. He went on 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.839 social media to complain that the portrait was purposefully distorted 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.400 by the artists and should be taken down. But get this, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.600 it was actually state Republicans who put the thing thing 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.480 up in the first place. They had raised ten thousand 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.760 dollars to commission the painting. Yeah. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.720 The portrait was painted by artist Sarah Boardman. She also 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.440 painted the adjacent portrait or what was the adjacent portrait 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.560 next to President Trump with President Obama, and Trump actually 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.040 made a comment about that portrait. He said Obama's portrait 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.720 looked wonderful. His did not. He didn't feel After Trump's 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.960 criticism of his portrait, a steady stream of visitors started 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.280 showing up at the Capitol to take pictures with it. 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.680 We also told you there, you know, we don't know. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.640 Could there be a replacement portrait he could give the 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.000 one that Putin gave to him, and we shall see 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.920 what happens, or if they'll just be a missing spot 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.040 on the wall of the Colorado State Capital. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.400 They won't allow that, so they'll put something up there. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.320 I'm dying to see that picture that Putin gave Trump. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.280 I would love to see that portrait. Stay with U zero, folks. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.240 We're going to continue on this Wednesday morning run. When 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.520 we come back. We're finding out more about the Pope's 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.480 condition when he was in the hospital. Doctor say they 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:49.360 actually considered stopping treatment and letting him pass in peace. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.560 Will update you there also some more bad news for Tesla. Also, 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:58.880 TikTok makes a major change, and this morning an update 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.840 on the story you've been waiting on. A man a 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:13.840 thief finally takes an eight hundred thousand dollars people, all right, 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.760 we continue on this Wednesday morning run in Rome. We 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.600 knew he was in rough shade, but now Pope Francis's 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.880 medical team is revealing just how bad things got for 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.520 the Pontiff during his month long hospital stay. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.560 Things got so bad doctors at one point considered ending 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.360 his treatment and allowing him to pass away in peace. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.720 This happened February twenty eighth, when Pope Francis was said 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.840 to be having a breathing crisis. We now know he 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.640 actually inhaled his own vomit. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.520 Yeah, doctors say they had a choice to make stop 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.520 treatment and let him die in peace, or go with 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.640 an aggressive course of drugs and other treatments that might 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.920 damage his organs. Now it was his personal nurse that 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.240 we are told who was in the room and the 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.480 doctor say, hey, this is the person that knows his 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.280 wishes better than any when it comes to his health. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.640 And this is the quote they said. The nurse told 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.760 them try everything, don't give up. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.960 Doctor say, there was an understanding among them that the 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.200 Pope might not make it through the night. But the 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.560 Pope did respond to that aggressive treatment, got out of 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.640 immediate danger, and then just three days later had another 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.240 breathing crisis that had him once again close to death, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.160 but doctors were able to get him through that as well. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.400 Hey, you might remember he was initially admitted to the 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.520 hospital on Valentine today for bronchitis, ended up with double pneumonia, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.960 ultimately spent thirty eight days in the hospital before being 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.520 released on Sunday. Is doctor who gave all the new 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.960 details in the interview with an Italian publication suggested, yes, 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.640 that the world saved the pope's life with prayer. Quote, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.640 in this case, the whole world was praying. I can 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.560 say that twice the situation was lost and then it 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:52.720 happened like a miracle. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.400 We even said, before we knew these details, how miraculous 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.120 it seemed. I said. I think a lot of people 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:02.680 could say this was America. Everyone expected him to die 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.560 at that point, and to get those details confirms that. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:09.320 But wow, that nurse, that's a very cool story, very 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.720 cool story. All right, this is not so good, not 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.080 so cool for Elon Musk. Yeah, next up on the run. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.480 I feel like every day we have another awful story, 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.080 either about him or Tesla or both. Well, European sales 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:27.080 of Tesla have fallen forty nine percent in January and 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.080 February compared to one year ago, and that massive drop 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.520 happened at a time when overall sales of electric vehicles 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.960 has risen more than twenty eight percent. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.200 All right, so what's the blame? A couple of issues here. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.720 The first one you could probably imagine. There's been backlash 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.720 against Elon Musk and his role in the Trump administration. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:47.880 There's danger, rather i should say anger over musk endorsement 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:52.320 of Germany's far right alternative for Germany Party during last 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:57.119 month's election. And they've also been complaints about Tesla's just 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.320 the fact that they're aging. They're just don't have any 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.600 updated mind, so they're kind of getting old people. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.400 Yeah, and you want another reason also dogging the company. 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.679 Tesla's new cybertruck just had to issue. We told you 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.240 about this. It's eighth recall in basically a year. That 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:14.480 ever since they became available to customers, which was a 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.560 little over a year ago, that cyber truck has already 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.360 had eight recalls. Not to mention all of the attacks 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.600 that are making headlines almost on a daily basis, with 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.040 bullets and bombs, et cetera, from individual vehicles, to car 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:32.600 dealerships to charging stations. Individual they were calling them loan wolfman, 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:37.040 loan attackers who were going out and deliberately attacking these 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:43.199 vehicles because they're upset at Elon Musk's doge policies. So yeah, 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:44.400 you no more bad news. 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:45.719 We were talking. I didn't think about it until now 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.919 with Crockett. Congresswoman Crockett has gone after to Elon and Tesla. 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.520 She has organized I can't remember what she called it, 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:56.000 but a day of protests at Tesla dealerships on March 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.439 twenty ninth or birthday. So you can't. I mean, we're 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.040 talking about h hundreds of planned protests on that day 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.000 specifically targeting Tesla. Yes, they're not supposed to be violently, 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.960 supposed to be peaceful, let you voice be heard. But 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.560 this just goes to show. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.800 People more to come, is what that goes to show. 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.760 Yeah, uh, I moved up in the rundown. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.600 We're on TikTok, you know I did. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.000 I wasn't aware of this actually on that this was 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:20.280 the thing. 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:21.520 I just found this this morning. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.159 Okay, So we're clearly not big TikTok users here, But 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.560 we just found out that they have stopped letting people 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.600 make and search for videos using what's been called a 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.160 chubby filter. Now it had become a recent trend. Users 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.280 show an original picture of themselves and then apply the 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.080 filter that made them look bigger, with Doci's song Anxiety 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:41.440 as the background music. 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.240 Yeah. One TikTok user said, oh, great, a filters, so 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.080 skinny girls can make fun of what they would look 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.639 like if they were fat, and that's been the problem. 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.200 So some of these videos, yeah, they were getting millions 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:56.639 of views, with comments raging from laughter to outrage. Critics 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.320 say the filter was being used as a form of 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.359 body shaming, literally made making fun of weight gain and 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:05.399 so TikTok listened, confirming on Tuesday that capcut, which is 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.600 owned by the same parent company as TikTok, had completely 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:09.639 removed the filter. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.000 Yeah, the TikTok said also, it's reviewing videos that have 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.480 used the filter to make them ineligible for recommendation to 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.400 other users. A study published last year found that women 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.119 who spend time on TikTok are a greater risk of 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:27.320
