Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Hey there, everybody, Welcome to the Morning Run on this Thursday,

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: November seventh time, TJ.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Holt and I'm Amy Robot. Thank you for running with us.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: And on this morning's run, right Setting Wrong speech, Kamala

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Harris at her alma mater to concede a crushing defeat

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: in the very spot she had hoped to declare a

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: historic victory.

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, ballots are still being counted across the country and

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: what's clear, Trump's victory was even more dominant than anyone

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: had predicted.

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you have loved to have listened in on these

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: phone calls. Trump talking to both Harris and President Biden yesterday.

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: They offered him congratulations, help, and an invitation.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Also on this morning's run, President Biden is scheduled to

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 2: address the nation today about the election. Wonder if he'll

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: address the fact that he is getting so much of

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: the blame for Harris's resounding election defeat.

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: And Trump continues getting notes of congratulations from all over

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: the world, include from leaders who worked very hard to

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: keep him from getting elected.

22
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Plus just like that, Trump wins, and some of his

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: legal troubles immediately go by by and.

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: Even if you didn't vote for Trump, his win might

25
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: have been good for your stock portfolio.

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: Also this morning, the woman who had the whole world talking,

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: laughing and scratching our heads during her break dancing routine

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: at the Paris Olympics says you won't have her to

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: make fun of anymore. Kind of a disappointing update for

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: some of us this morning. But we will start our

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: morning run our first leg. We have to start with

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: this historic election, and for the first time in eight years,

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: the United States is exercising one of its long standing

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: and most cherished traditions, the peaceful transfer of power. After

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris officially conceded loss in the twenty twenty four

36
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: election yesterday.

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Wow, when you put it that way, the first time

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: in eight years. Well, Harris made that call to Donald

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Trump during the day yesterday to congratulate him on the win.

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: She opted not to come out and address supporters on

41
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: election night, though it was becoming clear that she would

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: lose the elections. Instead, she opted to give a concession

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: speech yesterday in the same spot where she had hoped

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: to be giving a victory speech, and it.

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: Was that stage was gorgeous. The backdrop was gorgeous, and

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: it was all meaningful. The setting that she was surrounded

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: by Kamala Harris, the first woman, first woman of color,

48
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: to serve as vice president, standing on stage at her

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: alma mater, Howard University an HBCU, one of the most

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: influential historically black colleges and universities in this country. She

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: came out again, beautiful backdrop, a beautiful blue carpet. You

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: had all of the flag standing beautifully. She came out.

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: She was smiling, but she was smiling, and she was disappointed.

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: The crowd obviously didn't get the result they wanted, but

55
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: they were still energetic out there and greeted her and

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: wanted to embrace her and really give her some love.

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a lot of emotion out there yesterday.

58
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: The speech was scheduled for four. She came out on

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: stage round four twenty four to Beyonce's Freedom blaring on

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: this speakers. It regardless of how you felt about the

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: election or who you voted for that moment, it was

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: hard not to have chills and to feel the weight

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: of it. It took her a few moments to settle

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the crowd before she started her speech, she gave quick

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: thank yous to her husband, to President Biden, and to

66
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: her running mate Tim waltzs who was also very emotional

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: out there in the crowd. But so much of her

68
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: message yesterday was aimed at her young supporters.

69
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: As she said, right off the top, and I quote here,

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: my heart is full today. My heart is full of

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: of love for our country, and full of resolve. The

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not

74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: what we fought for, and not what we voted for.

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: But the light of America's promise will always burn bright

76
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: as long as we never give up, and as long

77
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: as we keep fighting.

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: And while speculation was already well underway about what Harris's

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: political future may look like now after this election loss,

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: well it seemed like she was dropping some in her speech.

81
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: She told the crowd this quote, While I concede this election,

82
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign,

83
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: the fight, the fight for freedom, for opportunity, for fairness,

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: and the dignity of all people.

85
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: And she of course had to acknowledge just how difficult

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: this loss was for a lot of people who had

87
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: invested so much in her in history. She told them.

88
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: We tried to reassure them, said, the fight for our

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: country is always worth it. To the young people who

90
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed,

91
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: but please know it's going to be okay. And to

92
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: that point about young people, there row if we were

93
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: getting messages from young people, We know folks under the

94
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: age of twenty five who were quite upset and in tears.

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: And a lot of that is showing up on social

96
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: media and a lot of videos people essentially recording themselves

97
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: crying and posting it.

98
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Yes, there was a lot of that yesterday and probably

99
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: still some today too. But how about this key line

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: that VP Harris delivered. She said, I know folks are

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. She

102
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: smiled and said, I get it. But we must accept

103
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: the results of this election. And you know, normally that

104
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be an extraordinary thing to say in this country,

105
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: to say to your supporters, but it is, and we

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: have to point this out in stark contrast to what

107
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: happened after the election four years ago, when Trump refused

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: to concede. He made zero phone calls. He eventually then

109
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: led this country to the January sixth riot that we

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: all saw unfold at the Capitol.

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: Well, she only mentioned Harris only mentioned Trump by name

112
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 2: once during her twelve minute speech yesterday, and that was

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: to say that she had called him to congratulate him

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: on the win. But she alluded to what she called

115
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 2: dark times that could be ahead for the country, saying

116
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: and again, I'm going to quote this when this was

117
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: an important line that a lot of people pointed out.

118
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: Quote only when it is dark enough, can you see

119
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: the stars. I know many people feel like we are

120
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all,

121
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America.

122
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: If it is, let us fill the sky with the

123
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: light of a billion stars.

124
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: She did vow to help President elect Trump with the

125
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: transition of power, and so the big question is what

126
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: does she do now. Well, she goes back to work

127
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: as vice president and one of her official duties will

128
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: come in less than two months when, in her role

129
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: as vice president, she will certify the election results. Yes,

130
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is going to be the one to officially

131
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: certify Donald Trump as the winner of the presidential election.

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: That certification happens when Congress convenes on what date you ask,

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty twenty five.

134
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: You know, there's something about that. It seems painful, but

135
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: it's also poetic. And it is something about this country

136
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: that even the person who lost an election can still

137
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: do her job and do her duty, which is to

138
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: certify the person who beat her in that election. There

139
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: is something about this cycle that still makes you go, wow,

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: this is a pretty special country.

141
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: It is. And you know, I think listening to Harris yesterday,

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: I I appreciated her speech. It was one filled with

143
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: grace and humility, but also a vow to fight on it.

144
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: I think it struck all the right tone. A lot

145
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: of people, though, were wondering why it took her so long,

146
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: and there were trends on social media saying, where is

147
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris? We hadn't heard from her in hours. But

148
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: you know what, after hearing her and watching it all,

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: I say, give the woman a break. That was a

150
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: crushing defeat and she needed a beat. She needed a

151
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: moment to put her thoughts together, to put her heart

152
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: in the right place, to put her motions in the

153
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: right place, and I thought she did a very good

154
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: job conceding the election.

155
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: People are going to do what they're going to do,

156
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: say what they're going to say. Social media is what

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: it is. But there were still numbers coming in. It

158
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: wasn't hopeful for her that night, but a lot of

159
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: I mean the network didn't even call. Most of them

160
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: didn't call the election until five thirty am the next morning.

161
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: It's okay that she didn't concede, I would argue, but

162
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: it came out. It worked out fine. People are going

163
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: to say what they're going to say. But man, we

164
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: talked about it yesterday. Just from a human standpoint, to

165
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: put yourself through everything you just went through and to

166
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: not have the result, I can't imagine, just on a

167
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: human level, what she's feeling.

168
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and back to work today.

169
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: Back to work and next up on our run here

170
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: as we continue our work this morning. President Joe Biden

171
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 2: he called President elect Trump to congratulate him on the victory,

172
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: and according to the White House, Biden expressed to Trump

173
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition and emphasize the

174
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 2: importance of working to bring the country together.

175
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Biden also invited Trump to meet with him at the

176
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: White House and at Trump spokesperson said Trump appreciated the

177
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: call and is looking forward to meeting with Biden, saying

178
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: it will take place shortly now. Biden also spoke on

179
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: the phone to VP Harris to congratulate her on her

180
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: historic campaign, and he released his statement saying that Harris

181
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,359
Speaker 1: has been a tremendous partner and public servant full of integrity,

182
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: courage and character.

183
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: President said choosing Harris has been the best move he made.

184
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: Best decision he made was choosing her for a running mate.

185
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: We are going to hear from President Biden today. He

186
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: is going to talk about the election results and the

187
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: transition of power. He's going to address the nation. This

188
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: is going to happen at eleven am Eastern time in

189
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: the Rose Garden. We will see and hear from him.

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: But a lot of people are talking about him right now,

191
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: and robes a lot. A lot of the blame for

192
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: her loss was immediately put at his feet.

193
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: Yes, many fellow Democrats pointed the finger directly at President Biden,

194
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: saying if he had dropped out of the race, or

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: at least opted out of the race in January instead

196
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: of July, it would have given VP Harris so much

197
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: more time to connect with voters, to connect with constituents,

198
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: and to make her case why she would be the

199
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: best person for the job.

200
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: The other argument there is if you would have opened

201
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: it up, she then could have gone through a primary process,

202
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: which could have helped her become a better candidate. But

203
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: if she went through a primary process, she also possibly

204
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: would not have been the nominee at all. There's a

205
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 2: bunch of what ifs right now. They would be doing

206
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: a post mortem on this thing for decades. But Biden,

207
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it is a pretty much a consensus out there.

208
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: There's a lot of fingerpoint and eye scratching and all

209
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: this right now. But man, he is getting the heap

210
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: of the blame for her loss.

211
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: He is getting the heap of the blame. But we've

212
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: seen and listened to pundits all day yesterday to the

213
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: point where I needed to turn it off for a bit.

214
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: But everyone's pointing fingers, blaming white, under educated women for

215
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: not supporting another woman. The finger's been pointed at Latino

216
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: men for not being able to support a woman or

217
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: a black woman. I mean, everyone is trying to blame you, yes, yes,

218
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: and everyone's just trying to blame someone for what happened.

219
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: We would not that the Democratic Party or anybody, any

220
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: politician would listen to us. But we are voters, and

221
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: we heard a consistent drum beat of the criticism of

222
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: people who voted for Trump. That criticism, At best, it

223
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: says you're voting against your interest. At worst, it says

224
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: you're stupid. We're essentially we heard repeatly saying why are

225
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: you voting against your own interest?

226
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: Aka? Why are you not making an informed, intelligent decision?

227
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: That is what we are hearing consistently. We wonder why

228
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: voters get turned off or might not like the message

229
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 2: coming out of one camp or another, but it is

230
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: I just hope we all can be careful. There a

231
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: lot seventy two million people, the majority of this country

232
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: voted for Donald Trump. We can't just put that all

233
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: off on. You all must not be smart enough, you

234
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: all must not be educated enough. You all must not

235
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: be well up on the issues enough. Why are you

236
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: voting against your interests? Like we heard people being called

237
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: dummies essentially by members of the media for making the

238
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: choices that they've made. That is no way to talk

239
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: to a voter to suggest that I know better what's

240
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,479
Speaker 2: right for you. That is so insulting, that it's so condescending,

241
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: and it is consistently being talked about in this election.

242
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: Yes, and I think it's important to point that out

243
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully maybe we can all change our tone, all right.

244
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Next up on the on Trump, also heard from former

245
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The Obama's released

246
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: a statement congratulating Trump and his running mate j. D.

247
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: Vance on their election victory, and also asked the country

248
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: and their statement to have good faith and grace.

249
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Good faith and grace. And again, this is pretty remarkable

250
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: to hear, and I love it frankly that people were

251
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: so heated during the competition that they could now, okay,

252
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: that's over. I wish you well. This is very important

253
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: they did right. This is obviously not the outcome we

254
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: had hoped for, given our profound disagreements with the Republican

255
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: ticket on a whole host of issues. But living in

256
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: a democracy is about recognizing that our point of view

257
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: won't always win out and being willing to accept the

258
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: peaceful transfer of power. There's some relief, right robes. People

259
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: don't like the outcome, but there is some relief in

260
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: there being normalcy. They won. This person made a concession speech,

261
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: a phone call was made. Transition underway. There's something about

262
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: that that just is a relief that those steps are happening.

263
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: Yes, the perspective from four years ago to where we

264
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: are today is huge, and we do appreciate that, and

265
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: we continue to run with Trump's busy day on the phone,

266
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: the president elect received dozens of congratulatory calls from leaders

267
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: from all around the world. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's

268
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: office this is funny, said they wanted it to get

269
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: out there. He was among the first world leaders to

270
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: call Trump for what was described as a warm and

271
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: cordial conversation where the two agreed to work together for

272
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Israel's security.

273
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: Trump also heard from French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly spoke

274
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: for close to half an hour. Ukrainian President port Zelenski

275
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: tweeted that he had an excellent conversation with Trump, discussing

276
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: advancing the cooperation between the two countries. He also Trump

277
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: also had phone conversations with the South Korean president, Japanese, British, Canadian, Indian,

278
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: and Italian prime ministers, as well as a Saudi.

279
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: Leader and several other world leaders all took to social

280
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: media to offer their congratulations to President elect Trump as well. Notably,

281
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: Trump did not hear from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Instead,

282
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: a spokesperson said he was unaware of Putin's plans to

283
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: congratulate Trump, adding this, let's not forget that we are

284
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: talking about an unfriendly country that is both directly and

285
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: indirectly involved in a war against our state.

286
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: Duly noted, We'll stay with us here on our morning

287
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: run when we come back, when we continue. Yes, winning

288
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: the election was just the beginning of the good news

289
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: for Trump when he won, some of his legal troubles

290
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: immediately went away there next up on our run. Turns

291
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: out Trump's victory was more dominant that anyone was predicting.

292
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: You remember hearing so much about those seven battleground states Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,

293
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona. Well, Trump appears to

294
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: have won all of them.

295
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the so called blue wall Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

296
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: That blue wall was read. Trump won all of those states.

297
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: He also won North Carolina again, and he won Georgia

298
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: by flipping it back to red after Biden won it

299
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty.

300
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: And as of this morning, at least first thing Thursday morning.

301
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: Nevada and Arizona the other two battleground states. They have

302
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: not officially declared for either candidate, but Trump has a

303
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: comfortable lead in both of those states, and it seems

304
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: like he's also poised to win the popular vote. As

305
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: of this morning, he officially has about seventy two and

306
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: a half million votes compared to Harris's sixty eight million.

307
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: So they're calling this a mandate. He wins the popular

308
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: and the electoral college, you will hear mandate thrown around

309
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: a lot ah.

310
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: That certainly is the definition of it, all right. Next

311
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: up on the run, it looks like Trump's legal troubles

312
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: are going to disappear now that he is president elect.

313
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: He is the first president to take office with several

314
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: criminal cases against him pending. So, folks, this is unchartered territory.

315
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: All right. So the dj first of all, is reportedly

316
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: on the verge of dismissing or at least significantly delaying

317
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: its cases against Trump. One case is out of DC,

318
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: where he's facing phony charges for allegedly inside violence. On

319
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: January sixth, of course, the other cases out of Florida,

320
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: that's the one that accuses him of having classified documents

321
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: at the House.

322
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Now special counsel, you've heard his name, Jack Smith. He's

323
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: been overseeing these cases. He's reportedly taking steps to end

324
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: the cases before Trump takes office again in January. Reportedly,

325
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: his office and Trump's team are already in discussions about

326
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: all of this. Trump had said that if he was

327
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: re elected, he would fire Smith on his first day

328
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: in office. In fact, he said he'd fire him in

329
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: quote two seconds.

330
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he really doesn't even have to. That's not

331
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: why the cases are going away. Rather, there is long

332
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: standing policy at the Justice Department that they do not

333
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: prosecute a sitting president. And this is why when some

334
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: of his cases, or he was trying to get some

335
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: of his cases thrown out but also delayed. He just

336
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: had to get to this moment. He's won the election.

337
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: So two of these cases are going to go away.

338
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: So it I'm not saying he was only running for

339
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: president just to get out of illegal but it certainly

340
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: helps it.

341
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: And here in New York, he was facing sentencing in September,

342
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: but they moved it to the end of novel after

343
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the election, and now it turns out that the hearing

344
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: may not even take place, and he wasn't really facing

345
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: jail time given his age and the fact that he

346
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: was a first offender with those convictions, those felony convictions.

347
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: And there's that other Georgia election case that they could

348
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: either hold till after he serves his term as president,

349
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: but it's likely going to be dismissed as well. All right.

350
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, the balance of power in

351
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives still hasn't been resolved, and as

352
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: of yesterday there were still as many as fifty races

353
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: that were yet to be called.

354
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: Oh right, So for the math here, either side, Republican

355
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: or Democrat needs to get two hundred and eighteen seats

356
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: to have the majority. Republicans have won just over two

357
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: hundred seats as of this morning. Democrats have about one

358
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety. Republicans have already secured a majority in

359
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 2: the Senate. They had a very very slim majority in

360
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: the House, only two hundred and twenty seats going into

361
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: election day. It looks like they're in pretty good spot,

362
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: but it's not settled yet, but it looks like a

363
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: Republican in the White House, Republicans control of the Senate,

364
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: and Republicans close to securing the majority in.

365
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: House the House as well. Yeah, they say that we

366
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: may not have the official results on that until the

367
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: end of November because of the process, the counting process

368
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: in the state of California, specifically all right, next up

369
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: on the run. Trump's decisive win in the presidential election

370
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: sent the stock market to record highs yesterday. The Dow

371
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: jumped up more than fifteen hundred points. That's the first

372
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: time it's done that, gained more than a thousand points

373
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: in one day since November of twenty twenty two.

374
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: The S and P Nasdaq also hit new highs US

375
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 2: dollar had his biggest gain in eight years. Bitcoin hit

376
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: an all time high. The markets were eleven what they

377
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: were seeing. They were reacting probably the two things. First,

378
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: the election was decided quickly and resolutely, So there's a

379
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: clear path forward markets, you heard, there's plenty. Uncertainty is

380
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: the enemy. They love it when there is a clear

381
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: path forward, and right now it seems to be the case.

382
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: So the other part of this good that goes along

383
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: with that is the fact that we don't have to

384
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: stand by for legal cases. We don't have to wonder

385
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: if there's going to be another insurrection or another event

386
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: like that. It's been settled. So that makes people feel

387
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: good about the money.

388
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: That makes sense. And second part of this is that

389
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Trump's win and now the Republican controlled Senate, there's a

390
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: perception of a business friendly, tax friendly regime coming into office.

391
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: So this they're calling it the Red Wave, could bring

392
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: an era the hoping of deregulation, other pro business laws

393
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: and policies investors believe could benefit the stock market. So

394
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: a lot of hope out there, and that speculation is

395
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: causing so many of these stock prices to search.

396
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: And oddly, again, this is not a matter of Democrat

397
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: and Republican here, but there is some relief in how

398
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: he won. If this thing were like people wanted to

399
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: contest it. There were some people still talking about doing

400
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: some recounts in some states, but he won resoundingly, so

401
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: it's settled and so we can move on. We talked about,

402
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: and plenty of people talked about if she had a

403
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: close victory, oh my goodness, the lawsuits and what are

404
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: people going to do, or if he had a very

405
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: close narrow victory what her supporters would fight and then

406
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: do we knew we'd probably end up in though they

407
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: had armies of lawyers on standby, Ray to rock and

408
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: we don't need them, you know what.

409
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: That is the big relief out of all of this.

410
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: Certainly true and also something to look for today in

411
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: terms of the markets. We mentioned this in previous podcasts,

412
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: but the Fed is expected to cut interest rates again

413
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: this afternoon by a quarter point and that certainly will

414
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: have an impact on the stock market as well today.

415
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: All Right, in our final leg of this Thursday morning run,

416
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna turn to something outside of the political realm.

417
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 2: We're going to turn to the Olympics. Right. We had

418
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: such a good time covering the Olympics this summer, and

419
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 2: we are now getting some disappointing news that one of

420
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: our favorite athletes from the Paris Summer Games will be retiring.

421
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: We will never see the unique breakdancing stylings of Raygun

422
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 2: in competition again.

423
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: Ah, poor Reagun Rachel gunn aka Raygun. That's the woman

424
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: who captured our hearts, our imagination, and maybe even some

425
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: bewilderment with her break dancing routine at the Paris Games.

426
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: She says she can't bring herself to compete again and

427
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: will no longer do breaking battles. You'll remember Breaking made

428
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: its debut at the Olympics this summer.

429
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: We were all so excited for this. It happened like

430
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: the second week unto the like we were standing by her,

431
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: but I was so excited to see the debut, and

432
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 2: on day one we saw Gun, a thirty seven year

433
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: old from Australia. She was there the first day. She

434
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: had the whole world talking because it was pretty much

435
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: an unorthodox routine and it didn't seem to have a

436
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: high skill level necessarily. That's just being honest about it. Now.

437
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: Her routine included something that certainly went viral. It was

438
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: called the Kangaroo hop. She's from Australia. I thought it

439
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 2: was a nice touch. She ended up losing every round

440
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: and head to head breaking battles with other competitors. Not

441
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 2: only does she lose, she didn't score a single point

442
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: from the judges during the entire competition.

443
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: And as if that wasn't hard enough, she was then

444
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: mocked ruthlessly and relentlessly online for those moves. Many of

445
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: them thought they were rudimentary at best, ridiculous at most,

446
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: and Gun just told a radio station she wanted she

447
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: wanted to keep competing, but the experience after the Olympics

448
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: was so upsetting that she can't bring herself to enter

449
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: any more competition. She says, quote, it's been really upsetting.

450
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: I just didn't have any control over how people saw

451
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 1: me or who I was.

452
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: This makes me a little sad. Yes, a routine. Obviously

453
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: she wasn't up to the same skill level. It was

454
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: a lot of those kids were impressive, wildly impressive in

455
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: their break dancing routines. But it was I mean, some

456
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: of the mocking, okay, you deserve you have an opinion,

457
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: some of it just got to a point of downright

458
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: mean and bullying.

459
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's tough. I will say, the only

460
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: break dancer from the Olympics name that I remember is Raygun,

461
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: So there's that. At least she is in the history books.

462
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 2: I I just hate that for her. She and so

463
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: much of the criticism was, hey, how did she even

464
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: get in the competition? She got in fair and square.

465
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: She won a qualifying event that was down under and

466
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: so she earned her spot. So it's something she loves.

467
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: She was a college professor or a lecturer or something right,

468
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: And she did this on the side because she loved it.

469
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: And it's a shame if I hope she still does

470
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: it for fun, something she doesn't have to compete in

471
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: any way. But maybe she just does it on Saturdays.

472
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: And you know what that Rachel Gunn ray gun goes

473
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: right along with the quote of the day, we'd like

474
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: to leave you with something we want you to consider

475
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: as you go about your Thursday.

476
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: Yes, here is our quote of the day. To live

477
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.

478
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: That is from famed author Oscar Wilde, and I love

479
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: that quote. It is a reminder to live today, not

480
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: just exist.

481
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: How many of us just go through the day and

482
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: go through the motions? Right, you're just going through it.

483
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 2: I got this from a James Bond movie. But what's

484
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: the point of living if you can't feel alive? That

485
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 2: goes along with this here, what are we doing? Most

486
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: of us? Well, if you go about your day today,

487
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: ask yourself are you living? This has kind of changed

488
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: my mood. I got up this morn, I said, bait,

489
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: my head ain't right. I pointed to my head. I say,

490
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not okay. I got all this stuff

491
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: going on. I'm stressed. We got travel. This is helpful.

492
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Thank you soar, you've knocked it out the park for me.

493
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: Good. Let's give it to the listeners one more time.

494
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most

495
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: people just exist.

496
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: Well, folks, enjoy your living today.

497
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm Tejing and I'm Amy Robot. Thanks for running with

498
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: us on this Thursday. Have a wonderful day everyone,
