We're waking up again seeing so many firefighters, 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: police officers and uniforms, a lot of families gathering a 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: lot of flowers and commemoration for nine to eleven on 13 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: this day, the twenty fourth anniversary. Will be talking about 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: that some this morning. There is a lot folks of 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: news this morning, but we want to start with what 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: right now is on everybody's mind. The political assassination of 17 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk. The latest. We should tell you off the 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: top that as we speak this morning, as of this recording, 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 2: the assassin is still on the loose ropes. 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: That's correct. So we begin our run in Utah, where 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: conservative superstar thirty one year old Charlie Kirk was killed 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: by a single bullet yesterday as he was holding that 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: political event on a Utah college campus. 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: Kirk, a husband and father of two young children, was 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: a popular podcast host, a co founder of Turning Point USA, 26 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: a nonprofit group, and also a leading voice in President 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: Trump's MAGA movement. He is credited for helping reelect Donald Trump. 28 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: In fact, Trump himself has given the young man credit 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: on several occasions for helping getting him elected, and he 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: rallied folks young voters really almost like nothing we have 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: seen in recent years, at least from a single individual 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: building such a movement. 33 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: And it was continuing that relationship with younger voters where 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: Kirk found himself ironically taking a question on mass shootings 35 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: and gun violence on that college campus when one shot 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: rang out and struck him in the neck, causing him 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: to immediately slump over. Witnesses described seeing large amounts of 38 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: blood as his security detail rushed him out and to 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: the hospital, where he later died. The world heard of 40 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: his passing from the President, who posted on True Social 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: the great and even legendary Charlie Kirk is dead now. 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: Trump went on to address the nation last night, calling 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: Kirk a martyr for truth and freedom. He said, quote, 44 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: Charlie was the best of America and the monster who 45 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: attacked him was attacking our whole country. Trump continued, though, 46 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: in this four minute speech and address that he posted 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: on social media, he blamed the radical left in his words, saying, 48 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 2: for years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's most vicious 50 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 2: mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, 52 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: and it must stop right now. 53 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Trump has ordered all American flags throughout the country to 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: be lowered to half staff through Sunday night in honor 55 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: of Kirk, and more than three thousand people, mostly students, 56 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: were there at Kirk's event on the campus of Utah 57 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Valley University, and minutes before his death, Kirk had just 58 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: posted on x we are so back, touting the first 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: leg of what was going to be I believe it 60 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: was a fourteen city American comeback tour. 61 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: So we heard a lot of comments yesterday, A lot 62 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 2: of people prominent folks and including politicians from both sides 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: of the aisle, did condemn what happened. We did hear 64 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 2: from ever of every living former president, including vice president 65 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: or excuse me, former President Joe Biden said to quote, 66 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: there is no place in our country for this kind 67 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: of violence. It must end now. Biden, of course, and 68 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: Kambala Harris opponents of one Donald Trump, who was literally 69 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: shot during an event during the campaign. So we think 70 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: about that robes and what that would have meant for 71 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: this country if a political candidate, somebody that polarizing had 72 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: I mean that bullet could. 73 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: Have moved, just raised his hair a little. 74 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: Bit one way or another. But this is this is 75 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: not a politician. But this was a political assassination. It's 76 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: just not something we're used to seeing outside of the sixties. 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. And meantime, Yes, that massive manhunt 78 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: is currently underway for the person responsible for firing that 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: fatal shot. Despite bringing in two separate persons of interest, 80 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: authorities released both of them saying quote, there are no 81 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: current ties to the shooting with either of these individuals. 82 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. The FBI said it's working with state and local 83 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: law enforcement to fully investigate and seek justice in this shooting. 84 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: They're also asking for tips from the public and going 85 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: over the many videos that were taken by people in 86 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: the crowd who inadvertently captured the killing on their cell phones. 87 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: That is a massive undertaking. What'd you just say, three. 88 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: Thousand people, thousand people. 89 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: Three thousand phones need to be gone through because everybody 90 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: had them out and we're recording something at some point. 91 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, And those videos, some of them are circulating online 92 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: and are very graphic and difficult to watch. And right now, 93 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: the only information we have about this killer is from 94 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: an image captured on a campus CCTV. It's a person 95 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: described as someone dressed in all dark clothing. That is 96 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: not a lot to go on. And right now authorities 97 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: believe that shot was fired, they say, from a longer distance, 98 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: potentially from a rooftop. 99 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this calls quite a bit of confusion yesterday, Robes, 100 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: even for you and I while we were deciding trying 101 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: to figure out what to record and when to record, 102 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: and how to maybe go back and maybe update a 103 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: previous recording, because we were told there is no one 104 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: in custody, then someone is in custody, Then nobody's in custody. 105 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: And in fact, cash Puttel, the FBI director himself, put 106 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: out a tweet saying that they had the person in custody. 107 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: The university, it was the one that originally put out 108 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: the message saying they believe the shooter fired from two 109 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 2: hundred yards away from a campus building. Now, Utah Valley 110 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 2: University is the biggest public university in all of Utah. 111 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: They have forty seven thousand students. They're going to stay 112 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 2: closed until Monday. That's probably the right call. But you 113 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: were saying yesterday the university was asking students to just 114 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: go home. Yes, go away, and they were also offering 115 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 2: them police escorts if they wanted. 116 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: Correct, because the gunman is on the loose and the campus, 117 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: the entire campus is a crime scene at this point, 118 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: so it's difficult to have all of those students around 119 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: while an active investigation and a shooter is out on 120 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: the loose. So Utah's governor said this, I want to 121 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this, 122 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: we will find you, we will try you, and we 123 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law. 124 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: And I just want to remind people that we still 125 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: have the death penalty here in this date of Utah, 126 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: and we're hoping to learn more information about what police 127 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: may or may not know. Shortly, officials are going to 128 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: be holding a press conference, they say, at nine am 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: Eastern time this morning, So we will be monitoring. 130 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: That continuing on the run. Now, and this is kind 131 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: of certainly an adjacent story to this Charlie Kirk assassination. 132 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: An MSNBC analyst has been fired, a longtime political analyst 133 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: fired for some pretty insensitive remarks made during yesterday's live 134 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: coverage of the Kirk shooting. Now we heard this ourselves, 135 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: Rose and I did. While we were watching the coverage. 136 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: A commentator suggested that perhaps it could have been a 137 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk supporter firing a gun in celebration. Now, you're 138 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: shaking your head there at the time, we were shaking 139 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: and maybe scratching our heads. 140 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Like why could you Why would he say that we 141 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: didn't know what. 142 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: Had happened, But that type of speculation that maybe this 143 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: was just a random celebration and a stray bullet hit 144 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: him exactly in hit that it sounded odd when we 145 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: heard it. But not only did he say this, it 146 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: also went on to suggest that Kirk's own rhetoric. His 147 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 2: own rhetoric led to the shooting. So in the heat 148 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: of this moment, those things were said. Robes and folks 149 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: immediately jumped on. 150 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: And we know this commentator well, we worked with him 151 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: for many, many years. The commentator was Matthew Dowd. He's 152 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: been with MSNBC since twenty twenty two, but he had 153 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: a very long stint at ABC News with TJ and me. 154 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: And this is what he said that was met with 155 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: immediate online backlash. And I'm going to quote him directly. 156 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: Kirk has been one of the most divisive, especially divisive 157 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: younger figures in this who is constantly sort of pushing 158 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at 159 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: certain groups. And I always go back to hateful thoughts 160 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. 161 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: And I think that is the environment we are in. 162 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: You can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you 163 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,479 Speaker 1: have and then saying these awful words and not expect 164 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: all actions to take place. And that's the unfortunate environment 165 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: we are in. 166 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: And MSNBC did go on and apologize, saying in a 167 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: statement during our breaking news coverage of the shooting of 168 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate and unacceptable. 169 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: We apologize for his statements, as has he there is 170 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: no place for violence in America, political or otherwise. Dowd 171 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: later apologized on social media as well for his tone 172 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: and words and said, I in no way intended for 173 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: my comments to blame Kirk for this horrendous attack.

He is 347 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 2: on a solo trip right now for several engagements, so 348 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 2: he stopped by to see Pops. So there's hope that 349 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: things could get better. 350 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's certainly a good sign, and another good sign 351 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: to report here on the run a COVID milestone worth noting. 352 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: For the first time since the pandemic, COVID is not 353 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: in the top ten of the leading causes of death 354 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: in the United States. 355 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. CDC's got some updated numbers and they reflect the 356 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: dropping COVID depths over the past three years, and last 357 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: year twenty twenty four, it was no longer in the 358 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 2: top ten. At its peak in twenty twenty one, COVID 359 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 2: was the third leading cause of death in the US. 360 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: Four hundred and sixty three thousand deaths attributed to COVID 361 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: that year. 362 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: That's wild. Well, the leading causes of death in the 363 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: US continued to be heart disease and cancer. And this 364 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: is a sad note. COVID was replaced in the top 365 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: ten by suicide. So we certainly have a lot of 366 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: work to do with mart I saw that in health crisis. 367 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: You wanted to celebrate, like, oh, if it was replaced 368 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: literally replaced by suicide. 369 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: Maybe that can be a just a warning and a 370 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: cause for change. 371 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, continue on the run now, and I'm trying 372 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: to Robes. You're gonna have to help me clear this 373 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: up because we thought the richest man in the world 374 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: in the US was Elon Musk, because Forbes told us 375 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: that they told us that Elon Musk was the richest 376 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: guy in the war when they put out their annual list, 377 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: and the guy who was number two on the list 378 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: was actually way behind. 379 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: Wait, like like one hundred and fifty billion dollars behind. 380 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: We actually made an note of it in yesterday's podcast 381 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: in Morning Run. We were like, oh, so far behind. 382 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: Not even close. So tell me why, Robes. On the 383 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 2: same day that Elon was declared the richest, that the 384 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: guy who was number two ended up being number one, 385 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: Please help me. 386 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: Briefly briefly surpassed, briefly surpassed Musk because the shares of 387 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: his company surged forty three percent in one day. But 388 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: by the end of trading yesterday, Oracles Larry Ellison that 389 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,959 Speaker 1: was the number two, only increased his wealth by ninety 390 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: billion dollars, and that was just shy of matching Musk's number. 391 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: According to Bloomberg, see there are competing lists of who 392 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: is the richest person in the world, so Ellison's fortune, 393 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: according to Bloomberg, now sits at three hundred and eighty 394 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: three billion dollars. Bloomberg puts Musk's wealth at three hundred 395 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: and eighty four billion dollars. 396 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: So their declaration of who was the richest was just 397 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: based on one day at the end of trading. Kind 398 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: of a thing. 399 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, in the middle of trading. According to Bloomberg, 400 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: Ellison's fortune surpassed Musks, but by the end of trading, 401 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: when things settled a little bit, he was a billion shy, 402 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: so it didn't. It was a couple hours he became 403 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: America's richest man according to Bloomberg. 404 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: Okay, well, Forbes again, like we said, it says Musk 405 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 2: has a much bigger cushion. His number is a four 406 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty nine billion, isn't it. Didn't They say 407 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: he's the first one to cross form. 408 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Billy, So that's why I was confused when I 409 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: saw Bloomberg putting Musk's wealth at three eighty four. So 410 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: it's just it's based on some estimate or calculation on 411 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: what everyone's company is worth in some private holdings that 412 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: Musk might have. But anyway, Forbes says that Musk is 413 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: at four hundred and thirty nine billion, so he was 414 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: never he never lost his status according to Forbes. 415 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: Okay, bottom line, folks, they are really rich, yeah, and 416 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 2: they get richer and poorer during the day based on 417 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 2: the stock market. Correct, but their richer importer, poor kid 418 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: go up by billions, by billions. Literally, they are gaining 419 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: and losing billions daily. 420 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild, all right. Next up on the run, 421 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: Ed Sharon is trying to clear things up about his 422 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: upcoming move to the US. Hold your horses, everybody, It's 423 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: just temporary. 424 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 2: It's amazing how this kind of took off what he 425 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: calls a bit of a stir after a recent podcast 426 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: appearance in which he said he was moving to the US, 427 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: adding I feel like I'm the only person moving to America. 428 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 2: Of course, we've seen some recent celebrities talking about there, 429 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: getting out of the country, blah blah blah. But the 430 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: uproar was enough that Sharon felt he needed to respond 431 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: and issue a clarification. 432 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: Yes. On social media yesterday, Sharon wrote, I'm not moving. 433 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: I'm going on tour with my family and relocating to 434 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: the continent. I'm touring on. Don't want to commute from 435 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: London to San Diego, obviously. He added, Also, this isn't 436 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: a tax thing. It's USA, not UAE. I'll always pay 437 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: tax in UK, that's where I lived. 438 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: There were some people thinking he was trying to avoid that. 439 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: If you want to avoid taxes. 440 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: Don't go to the United States, and certainly don't live 441 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: in California. 442 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's the last thing you would do all right. 443 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: Next up on the run, kiss my grits. I guess 444 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 2: a lot of people as soon as you hear that, 445 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 2: you know flow immediately where we're going.

For the final leg 484 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: of our run, the clearest sign of life we've ever 485 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: found on. 486 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 2: Mars, did your ears perk up when you hear that. 487 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: Yes, of course I saw, you know what. I saw 488 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: these headlines all day yesterday, but we were in the 489 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: middle of breaking news and I was like, what is that. 490 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 2: I'm not I was skeptical, okay, but hey, these are 491 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: this is folks. We are not making this up. That's 492 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 2: a direct quote, clearest sign of life we've ever found 493 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: on Mars. That is how NASA is describing a new 494 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: discovery on the Red planet. So what exactly did they 495 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: find leopard spots? This will require a little explanation, Okay. 496 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: So NASA's Perseverance rover identified and collected samples from what 497 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: appeared to be spots on a rock in an area 498 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: of Mars believed to have been formed by water, possibly 499 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: billions of years ago. According to scientists, it appears a 500 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: chemical process happened on the rocks that caused a textured 501 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: discoloration in places I e. Leopard spots, and that discoloration 502 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: could be from ancient micropial life. Are we talking about 503 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: moss like Mars moss? 504 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 2: It basically looks like it, right when I look at 505 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: the pictures, it kind of looks like it. Okay, Oh, 506 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: they calling them leopard spots? So this is peer reviewed, 507 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: which we all know is a big deal. So some 508 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: outside scientists are looked at this and they're all kind 509 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: of an agreement that yes, this could be. So what 510 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: do we do now? Not a damn thing, because we 511 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: can't get the samples back to Earth. That's the only 512 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 2: way to confirm what they're suggesting is they need to 513 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: get it in a lab here, but they can't do 514 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 2: that because we don't have a way to get the 515 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: samples back because we don't got no money. They scrapped 516 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: the Mars Sample return program, that is what it's called, 517 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 2: because it costs too much. So we might have just 518 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 2: found life, but have no way at this point to confirm. 519 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna need some further explanations to why it's such 520 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: a big deal that there's. 521 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 2: Moss on Mars because we do not have, and never 522 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 2: have had definitive confirmation of life beyond Earth, a confirmation 523 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: that there was life on another planet to see if 524 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 2: that's it. No, you want to be big. 525 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: Headed, big eyes, triangular shaped heads. 526 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: That's life for you. 527 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: That's extraterrestrial. 528 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: There was a sitcom called Conehead. 529 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: That's not how it works, all right, I guess it's 530 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: something mos Mars Mars Moss. There we go. All right, 531 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: let's now hopefully leave you with something to think about, 532 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: something positive, something inspirational. We all need that right now. 533 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: And here is our quote of the day. Each morning 534 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: we are born again. What we do today is what 535 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: matters most. This is from Buddha. And I know I've 536 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: fleaned down Buddha a couple times, but I was looking it. Actually, 537 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: I spent way too much time trying to find something 538 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: to in a way sheer us all up or give 539 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 1: us some hope. And I just felt like, sometimes we 540 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: just need to remember that each day we can start anew, 541 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: even with all the heavy, dark news around us. Sometimes 542 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: every day we can make better and different choices. 543 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: Thank you for that, and I'm glad you were. And 544 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 2: in folks, she was. She was very frustrated this morning, 545 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: taking the time. She was not taking her time, just 546 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 2: spending a lot of time trying to find the right quote. 547 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 2: And it is everything is felt heavy. Even got up 548 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: and walked around a little bit, because you were the 549 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 2: one that was doing all the writing about Kirk and 550 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: then the shooting in Colorado as well, So that stuff 551 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 2: is heavy. So hopefully you can take this with you, folks, 552 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: and it did make me feel better. Each morning we 553 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: are born again. What we do today is what matters most. Yes, 554 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: you can worry about that mistake you met yesterday, that 555 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: nasty comment you made to somebody you shouldn't have I 556 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: don't know, not holding the elevator when you saw that 557 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: family on the way. Whatever you did today, you can 558 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 2: do it differently. You could do better. Yes, that's a 559 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: good quote. Thanks for that. 560 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: Each morning we are born again. What we do today 561 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: is what matters most. Thanks for running with us everyone. 562 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Will be talking 563 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 2: to y'all real soon.
