<v Speaker 2>There will be four screens because yes, every game is

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.440

<v Speaker 2>can still submit them online to all these bracket challenges.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Subdue that thing. But we are going to get through

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>this morning run because I got other stuff to do today.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 2>So thanks. Get going on this Thursday on the run.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Today we will be talking about Trump continues to work

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the phones, and now President Zelenski and President Putin have

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 2>agreed to a partial ceasefire.

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And Israeli troops head back into Gaza after breaking a

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>two month ceasefire with massive airstrikes that killed hundreds. And

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>another signing ceremony today in the Oval Office as President

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Trump plans to sign an executive order to dismantle the

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.479
<v Speaker 1>Department of Education amid legal questions and lawsuits.

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Also, the Trump administration is withholding one hundred and seventy

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>five million dollars from one university, why because they allowed

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>a transgender athlete to compete on a women's team. Also

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>this morning, the markets rallied yesterday after they liked what

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 2>they heard from the Fed on interest rates.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Plus another positive announcement from the Vatican about Pope Francis

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>as he continues to show signs of improvement, and the

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>DoD dee eyed Jackie Robinson and then reinstated a tribute

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>to him just hours later.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Also today on this run, Bye bye winter and happy

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>first day of Spring. But are you, as an American

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>actually happy? The World Happiness Report has just been released,

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>and where do you think the US ranks in the

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>world here's a hint, not very high.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.399
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna do our best, though, to raise that happiness

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>quotion with this morning run today. So we'll begin our

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 1>run with progress. Another day, another phone call, another step

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>towards ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 2>President Trump and President Zelensky had what Trump says was

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a very good call yesterday. Zelensky called it a substantive

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>and frank talk. And after that chat, the two sides

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>announced that Ukraine had agreed to a partial ceasefire with Russia.

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It was just a day earlier that Trump was on

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the phone with President Putin, who rejected a full scale ceasefire,

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>bus agreed to a pared down version of that ceasefire.

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>The partial ceasefire was specific Russia would stop attacks on

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>certain targets in Ukraine. A bit of discrepancy right now

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 1>about which ones?

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So yeah, devil in the details here. Ukraine announced

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 2>it agreed to a partial ceasefire in which Russia would

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 2>stop attacks on energy and other infrastructure targets in Ukraine,

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 2>while the US announced the partial ceasefire would stop attacks

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 2>only on energy targets. So that discrepancy, which is a

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>significant one, still needs to be worked out.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>But what was very notable was a stark, starkly different

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>tone from Zelenski in his message yesterday on AX. We

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>remember in days and just how long ago was it?

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Not even two weeks ago where we had that very

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>dramatic and difficult to watch meeting between you.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>You say dramatic and difficult, disastrous, disastrous.

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>That Okay, we'll just keep all the d's in there. Yes, So, yes,

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we all saw what was happening between those two men,

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and specifically what zelen said and wrote on Twitter, well,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>our ex excuse me yesterday, a very different tone. Here's

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>just some of what we heard from Zelensky on X.

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>He said, we believe that together with America, with President

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump and under American leadership, lasting peace can be achieved

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>this year.

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, hey, we'll take it.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>He understands the assignment a little better now and somebody

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>got in his ear, but yes, he was very effusive

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>in his praise, not just in saying thank you, but

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 2>he was directing a lot of that towards President Trump.

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>And maybe we can understand why, but that discrepancy needs

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>to be worked out. But how many months are we

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>into President Trump's presidency this is the most movement of

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>anything related to a ceasefire and stopping that war that

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>we have seen. Don't like his methods. A lot of

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>people argue with sure, but this is movement that some

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>people have a hard time disagreeing with and not applauding

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.679
<v Speaker 2>at least that something is happening.

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>More has happened in these three months than in the

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>entire three years since this war began, for sure.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 2>You continue here on our run this morning, though with Israel,

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>apparently they were not bluffing after breaking the months long

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>ceasfire on Tuesday with that surprise barrage of air strikes

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that killed four hundred people in Gaza, Israel vow, do

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you remember that was just the beginning.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>They've now followed up with more deadly air strikes yesterday

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.799
<v Speaker 1>and now a ground incursion. Reports say anywhere between twenty

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to forty people were killed in this new round of

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:29.359
<v Speaker 1>air strikes. Meanwhile, Israeli troops moved back into Gaza for

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the first time since the ceasefire was put in place.

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Israel says it's reclaimed some sections of land that served

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>as a buffer zone.

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 2>Israel is making clear they will keep this up with

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.040
<v Speaker 2>the goal of eliminating Hamas. The Israeli Defense minister put

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>it this way, quote, if all the Israeli hostages are

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>not released and Hamas is not eliminated from Gaza, Israel

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 2>will act with forces you have never known before. Quote.

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 1>For its part, Hamas called the Israeli air strikes a

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>violation of the ceasfire, but said it was still committed

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>to that ceasefire is really Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>says he ordered a resumption of strikes against Gaza because

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>of a lack of progress in peace talks.

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that first phase of the ceasefire largely held in

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 2>several exchanges of hostages in Palestinian prisoners took place like

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 2>they were supposed to. But that first phase came and went.

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 2>It ended March first, and there wasn't a lot of

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>movement after that. There was no next phase of the

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>ceasefire deal. So Prime Minister Benjamin NATANYAHUO said we are

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>going to go back at it. They said, we spoke

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 2>about this yesterday. Any deal now, any stop in fighting

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>is going to be done under fire. There will be

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 2>no more ceasefires. We're not messing around with us.

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>That's heartbreaking, it's heartbreaking to watch, all right. Next up

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>on the run, President Trump is taking another step at

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.679
<v Speaker 1>eliminating the Department of Education. Today. He's scheduled to sign

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>an executive order at the White House that instructs his

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Education secretary to begin dismantling the department, even if he

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>can't legally completely shut it down on his own.

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the day. He was created during the Order administration

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen seventy nine by Congress and can only be

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>eliminated by Congress. Still, the President can essentially cripple the

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 2>department through a series of actions. The administration has already

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 2>cut the department's workforce in half, so he can make

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>it almost impossible for the department to function.

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the executive order instructs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Department of Education and return education authority to the States.

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Trump will be joined by Republican governors for the signing ceremony.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>McMahon will be there as well, and you can bet

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the lawsuits, yes, will continue.

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>DeSantis, former rival, is going to be there as well.

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 2>He was supposed he talked about for a while for

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Department of Defense. Yes, for a little bit, but they

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 2>have gone at it. But some Republican governors will be

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>back and like you said, what's going to happen here?

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they can make it what usaid. You can

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 2>take all the money, you can do all these things

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>and cripple the agency to the point it just doesn't function.

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 1>It can't function.

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 2>It can't function, so he can shut it down. It

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>was it wasn't interesting, Linda mcmahonny told her at the beginning.

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Your job is to put yourself out of a job. Yep,

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>as Education.

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Says, and he's moving forward with that plan.

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>All right. On the next leg of our run here,

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 2>let's head over to Pennsylvania. Check this out. That Trump

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 2>administration is with holding one hundred and seventy five million

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>dollars from an Ivy League school there for allowing a

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.679
<v Speaker 2>transgender swimmer to compete on its women's team.

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Leah Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win a

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Division one national championship as swimmer. As a swimmer on

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty two University of Pennsylvania women's team. Thomas's

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>story and success set off a national and sometimes ugly

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>debate about trans athletes.

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 2>So President Trump signed an executive order last month stating

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.839
<v Speaker 2>that federal money could be withheld from schools that allowed

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 2>transgender athletes to compete on girls and women's teams, and

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 2>soon after that order, the administration started looking into Penn.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>That's right. The administration now says one hundred and seventy

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars in funding is being withheld from the school. However,

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Penn claims it is in compliance with NC double A

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>rules and Leah Thomas hasn't competed at the school since

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two, that's when she graduated.

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 2>So at that time, back in twenty twenty two, the

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>NC DOUBLEA did allow for individual sports and their governing

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>bodies to set their own rules for participation by transgender athletes.

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 2>They changed that policy and are now in compliance with

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Trump's order. So still it's a little confusing. They weren't

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 2>in violation of his order in twenty twenty two because

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.680
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't president, but he's still making this move and

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 2>this is sending a very big message.

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>It certainly is, and I wonder what could be done

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>by Penn at this point to correct it if they're

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in compliance now and they just weren't three years ago

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>when Trump wasn't president. Clearly, this is certainly a warning

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>to any other school who chooses not to comply.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that the strategy?

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe that would the only thing that makes sense

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>with this action. Yes, exactly, all right, next up on

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the run, we're going to head to Wall Street. The

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>US stock market rallied after the Federal Reserve announced it

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>would keep interest rates unchanged as expected.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, indicated there will be two quarter point interest rate

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 2>cuts later this year. The markets have been wildly unsteady

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 2>as investors try to gauge how President Trump's tariffs are

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 2>going to affect the economy, also trying to figure out

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 2>which ones are coming, which ones are going, which ones

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>are going to be in place, which ones are going

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to go away because of legal action. Is just uncertainty,

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>and the markets hate.

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That, they certainly do. But the Federal Reserve also forecast

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>slower economic growth for the US and higher inflation. And

0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>despite that, the Dow closed nearly four hundred points up

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>following their announcement, and the NASDAK rose by one point

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>four percent. So hey, we'll take an update on Wall Street.

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>We certainly have had several down ones.

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll stay with us here on this Thursday morning.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Ron when we come back, good news for the Pope.

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Jackie Robinson gets kicked out of the military. Spring is

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>here and America apparently is not a very happy place.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to this morning's run, and the next leg

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 2>of the run will take us to Rome, where we

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 2>have some more encouraging news. The Vatican says Pope Francis

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 2>is no longer using mechanical ventilation to help him breathe

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 2>at night.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and they added that as doctors believe the Pope

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>will continue to improve even further. Pope Francis has been

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in the hospital now for nearly five weeks, battling double pneumonia.

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's still receiving oxygen through a small hose under

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 2>his nose, but doctors say his blood tests are normal,

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 2>his infection is under control. No word on when he

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 2>might be released from the hospital. Robes, We've been doing

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 2>these every day for a full month, and every time

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm relieved.

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 1>A Thank goodness, it's an I's it kind of feels

0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit like a miracle. I don't think any

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>of us will, at least I didn't expect this outcome,

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and certainly happy that that is what's happened.

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 2>There were some dark days, there were some really scary days.

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine the moment he shows back up at

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Saint Peter Square. That's the image. Now I can't get

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>out of my head that possibility.

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>That I just got chills when you said that, because

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>there are still so many people The New York Times

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that a huge article on this, still believing that the

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>pope is dead, so many social media influencers and TikTokers

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>still trying to storm the hospital looking for him. So

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>those rumors are still out there, and there are people

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>who actually believe that the Vatican is hiding the pope's

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>true condition, the fact that he might be dead. So yes,

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>the moment where we see the Pope leaving the hospital,

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>or at least coming out there on Saint Peter Square

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and a wave, a nod, a smile, that will be everything.

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>We can people think he's dead, they put out a

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.319
<v Speaker 2>picture confirming he's fine.

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, that very revealing photo from behind where you can't

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>even see if his eyes are closed or open. You

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>mean that one? Oh okay, all right, next up on

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 1>our run, well head back here to the us of

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a Robinson got deied right out of American military history.

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>But he's back. He's back now. A tribute to Jackie

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Robinson's military service was taken down from the Defense Department website.

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so how does this happen? Apparently this is part

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 2>of a purge of DEI content from the Department. But

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>the pentagona is saying that Jackie Robinson's tribute page was

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 2>mistakenly deleted now apparently, and they can't go through page

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 2>by page and line by line trying to scrub a

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>DEI from the Pentagon page. So they say they use

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>whatever algorithm, and they're using keywords. It finds those keywords

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 2>throughout and eliminates those pages. They say, that's what happened here.

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 2>It happened also with the Tuskegee Airmen. They had a

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>dedication page that was also removed mistakenly, So that's how

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>they say it happened. But they saw the era. The

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.200
<v Speaker 2>page is back up. We did look at it this

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 2>morning and can confirm. The article is called sports Heroes

0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>who Served Baseball Great Jackie Robinson was a World War

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>or two soldier. It is back up.

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't you love to know what the keywords are?

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 2>They didn't give them to black history.

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I was just trying to.

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Figure that out that could come up through that stuff.

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I kind of need to know what the keywords were.

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Into What did he do he integrated baseball? He I mean,

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.240
<v Speaker 2>what would a word have been just black?

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean right, That's why I was like black history.

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon spokesperson explained what happened this way. We are pleased

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>by the rapid compliance across the department with the directive

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>removing DEI content from all platforms, but added they correct

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the content so it recognizes our heroes for their dedicated

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>service alongside their fellow Americans period.

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, acknowledged that we are doing what we want to

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 2>do and sometimes there is a mistake, but they have

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 2>several they need to put back up. This is just

0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>one of those shocking things. Look, maybe it was probably

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>was a mistake, but it's just so jarring to think

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 2>that this is how they're going about it, that even

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Robinson could get kicked out of the military and a

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 2>part of American history Oopsie, based on some words were

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>not even sure of next up on the run here, folks,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I have to let y'all know Robot stopped me while

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 2>we were working on the rundown this morning and said, ooh, countdown,

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>we only have a few minutes left in winter.

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>It was six minutes. We had six minutes left in winter.

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted you to know.

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to go away. Should have told me, hey,

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>we got spring in six minutes. But that's what was

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>going on. Yes, Spring officially started at five one a m.

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Eastern this morning, so fun fag this is the first

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 2>day of spring. It's actually called the vernal equinox. Well, yeah,

0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody knows that.

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, duh. It's only one of two times each year

0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>when the Earth's equator is not tilted towards or away

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>from the Sun, so there are equal amounts of daylight

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and darkness across the world, across all latitudes. That's pretty cool.

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I realized that. The other time that

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>happens is on the first day of fall, or the

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 1>autumnal equinox. It's different than the solstice, which is the

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 1>longest and shortest day of the year. So this is

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>when daylight and nighttime are exactly equal.

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything attached to this like a full moon?

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>They say people started at start acting weird at times

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, happenings with the Earth and things and planet.

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Name my moods and my behaviors once a month on

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the full moon.

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 2>But this is not the equinox. Is not a thing

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 2>where they think people are odd behavior.

0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but if I have some strange behavior today,

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll just blame it on the.

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Equal How would I notice it's all weird?

0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we get the final leg or you're on this

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Thursday run. Now, the annual list of the Happiest Countries

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 2>on Earth was just released. So where do you think

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the United States ranks.

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's a hint. We're not even in the top ten.

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>We're not even in the top twenty. All right, let's

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 1>start at the top of the list. Though. Let's start

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>with the good news. This is the annual list put

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out by the UN, and for the eighth year in

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a row, Finland has ranked as the happiest country on Earth.

0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Finland might not be for you. You don't want to

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>move there. How about you move to the second happiest

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>country in the world, Denmark? You know what, not a

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>big Denmark guy myself. Not for me necessarily, So let's

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:09.560
<v Speaker 2>go to the third happiest place. You want to go

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 2>to Iceland? Okay, what about the I love Iceland? Iceland?

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.639
<v Speaker 2>You go to that one. So the fourth happiest place

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>on Earth is Sweden. So have you noticed the theme here?

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 2>The top four happiest places on Earth are all these

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Nordic countries. Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, your top four.

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what, They're never in the news? Are they

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>for anything negative? It just all seems like they got

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it going on. No news is good news. That is

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the same top four, by the way from last year.

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have more on why these countries are at

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the top and just a moment. So where does the

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.959
<v Speaker 1>United States rank? Well, it's not good. In fact, it

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is the lowest happiness ranking the US has ever had

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in the history of this list. We are at number

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty four.

0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, if it feels like this story is going to

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 2>be a depressing one, we're gonna bring it home here

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 2>in just a second, all right. So this is the

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 2>first time the United States has ever ranked outside the

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>top twenty and these rankings, so what's behind our drop?

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 2>The re searchers are telling us that it is being

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 2>driven by younger folks, people under the age of thirty

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 2>who are pessimistic about the direction of their own lives

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and report feeling less supported by friends and family. They

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 2>also report feeling less freedom.

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>That's so interesting, right. The list has been compiled by

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 1>the UN for the past thirteen years in conjunction with

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>World Happiness Day, which is today. By the way, maybe

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>it's because it's the first day of spring too. Also,

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.080
<v Speaker 1>it uses Gallop pulling data from people in more than

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty countries who are ranked on happiness

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.080
<v Speaker 1>based on average life evaluations, and it looks at several

0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>key variables including social support, healthy life expectancy, generosity, perceptions

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of corruption, among other things.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 2>So let's go back to that top four, the Nordic countries.

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Why they consistently rank at the top, Well, the researchers

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:03.400
<v Speaker 2>tell us they have a virtuous cycle of society, which

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 2>means certain segments of society all kind of tie in

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.360
<v Speaker 2>together and feed into each other in a productive way.

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 2>So you're talking about democracy, you're talking about good and

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>trusted government, talking about low crime, good general welfare benefits

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 2>all come together and it makes for a good society.

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.879
<v Speaker 2>And yes, low crime has a lot to do with that.

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 2>So the countries that do rank. We talked about the

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>top four. The ones at the bottom of the list

0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily a surprise when you hear them, but Afghanistan

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 2>once again last on the list, and then Sierra Leone, Lebanon,

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Malawi and Zimbabwe round out the bottom five.

0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.479
<v Speaker 1>We loved this quote from one of the editors of

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 1>this Happiness report. You found this TJ. And this is

0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>something we can all take with us today on World

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Happiness Day.

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Look, we always do a quote of the day. We

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 2>have one at the bottom, but this one, Folks, if

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't listen to anything else in this podcast, please

0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.639
<v Speaker 2>listen to this quote that Robot is about to give you.

0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Look seriously at the people with whom you are working with,

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.679
<v Speaker 1>whom you are living, who are on your streets, and

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>put on a rosier set of glasses when you're dealing

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:17.720
<v Speaker 1>with them. And that'll change your behavior in traffic, It'll

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>change your behavior in political discussions, It'll change everything. Talking

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.760
<v Speaker 1>less and listening more helps with attitude shifts that can

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>lead to more cooperation. Negativity is poisonous to happiness. Wow.

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And so it's in all of us. The power is

0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>within all of us to be happier and to spread happiness.

0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.679
<v Speaker 2>This is from one of the founding editors of this report,

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and I just keep that with it. If you almost

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 2>keep that in your pocket you have a bad moment,

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.919
<v Speaker 2>just pull that out and take a look at it.

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.440
<v Speaker 2>But it is, it's in each of us. It reminds

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.879
<v Speaker 2>us in the simplest of ways. I love what he

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 2>said here, and this is a current quote happening to

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 2>do with this the current.

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>List, and it's empowering because it's something that we can

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>all change and it's something we can all do. I

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.920
<v Speaker 1>found something else really interesting in the report, because you know,

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind being alone. I prefer to be with people,

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 1>but I really can't stand dining alone. I've always told

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you that for me, it's it's such a it's such

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>some it's an event that I want to share with people. Well,

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 1>this report found that Americans specifically are spending more and

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:31.360
<v Speaker 1>more time dining alone. They said roughly one in four

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Americans reported eating all of their meals alone in the

0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>previous day, and that's a fifty three percent increase since

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago. So, for whatever reason they just said,

0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 1>dining alone has become more prevalent for every age group

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 1>in the United States, but especially for young people, and

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.399
<v Speaker 1>it's those young people who are reporting that they're less happy.

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if one is leading to the other

0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>or if the other is contributing to the unhappiness, but

0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 1>it is an interesting note that they made in this report.

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 2>That's one thing that we all. It seems so communal right.

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 2>You can watch a show by yourself, you can do

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things on your own. But if you're

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 2>dining alone, if you see someone dining alone, even it

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.800
<v Speaker 2>feels sad to some reason, even though it might not be.

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I love dining alone, as you know, but I never.

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Do because I'm always with you, I.

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Always people are always around. So I relish a moment

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 2>that I get to sit and be alone. And we've

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.119
<v Speaker 2>talked about that plenty. I just we don't even know

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>how that's impact. Even if you're voluntarily dining alone, you're

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.640
<v Speaker 2>doing it by choice, it's still it might be doing

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.880
<v Speaker 2>something to you that you don't even realize. I didn't

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 2>see that note that you pointed out about the dining,

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.719
<v Speaker 2>but that is it's tough to hear young people are

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>feeling that way and are pessimistic about their own future.

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it is, and so again that quote. We all

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>have the power to make that change and to find

0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>a little extra happiness in our life. And if you

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>were curious about the top ten happiest countries, will listen

0:22:54.600 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>them for you right now. Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, nether Life,

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Costa Rica, Norway, Israel, Luxembourg and Mexico. That I mean,

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a little bit surprising that list, but interesting to note.

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Put happier than all of us. And you know what,

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.719
<v Speaker 2>we do have a quote of the day. You want

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>to save this one for tomorrow, the one you have,

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and then in the back and make that quote the

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.160
<v Speaker 2>quote of the day again to agree from the editor,

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 2>because that's just a great one, folks. Yes, we always

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:25.080
<v Speaker 2>leave you with the quote of the day. We have

0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:26.719
<v Speaker 2>another one in here we were ready to give you,

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 2>but this is just a beautiful, beautiful one that ties

0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 2>into World Happiness Day and it's a great reminder that

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 2>you should take with you. Maybe we'll post this and

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 2>you can have it in your pocket later. But by

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:37.720
<v Speaker 2>all means, ropes, give them to him one more time,

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the quote of the day from the editor of this

0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Happiness Report.

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Look seriously at the people with whom you are working, with,

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 1>whom you are living, who are on your streets, and

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 1>put on a rosier set of glasses when you're dealing

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.280
<v Speaker 1>with them, and that will change your behavior in traffic,

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it will change your behavior in political discussions, It'll change everything.

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Talking less and listening more helps with attitude shifts that

0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>can lead to more cooperation. Negativity is poisonous to happiness.

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 2>And with that, folks, we hope you have have some

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 2>happiness on this world Happiness Day. If you can't find

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 2>it anywhere else, I can guarantee one place you can

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:19.440
<v Speaker 2>find it at noon today, when the NCAA tournament kicks off,

0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 2>So enjoy that. That's exactly what I'll be doing. We

<v Speaker 2>always appreciate you running with us, folks, But for now on.

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the run tomorrow. And it's Friday,
