But we begin our run 38 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: this morning in Rome, where Saint Peter's Basilica stayed open 39 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: throughout the night to accommodate thousands of people still waiting 40 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: in line to pay their respects to Pope Francis. 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Basilica was supposed to close, admit, however, the 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: Vatican made the decision to stay open to make sure 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: that the large crowd that had gathered was able to 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: see the Pope's coffin. Vatican officials finally and briefly closed 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: the line at six am local time, only to reopen 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: it at seven am. To have it right, They only 47 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: did that to do a cleaning. Correct, they would have 48 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: kept the plays open. 49 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: Yes, and the Vatican said already forty eight thousand, six 50 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: hundred people have been able to view the Pope's body 51 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: as of this morning. And what's really cool, we're watching 52 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the live feed right now. They don't rush people. They've 53 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: allowed the crowds to take a moment, to take their 54 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: moment when they finally reached the Pope's coffin, to neil, 55 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: to genuflect, to pray, to even take a photo. It's 56 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: been pretty awesome to watch. 57 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: It's good they're allowing it, and everybody there is being 58 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: respectful of the next person in line behind them. They're 59 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: taking their moment, but they're not taking too much. This 60 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: is really well and we're watching it live as we're 61 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: talking to you on a live feed they keep inside. 62 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: The cameras of the basilica is just gorgeous. And the music, 63 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,559 Speaker 2: the sounds, everything. 64 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: Soft chanting going on, and it really is. It is 65 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: beautiful to witness not just the people, but the architecture 66 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: of the whole feeling you almost feel like you're there 67 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: with them. 68 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: Then after the Pope's open cask, it was moved to 69 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: the Basilica. In that stunning and somber procession throughout the 70 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: Vattican yesterday morning, the line that form seemed to quickly grow. 71 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: Some people were talking about a few hours way then 72 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: we started hearing people were waiting five, then to eight hours, 73 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: that's how long they were waiting to view. The viewing 74 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: hours are set to end at midnight again tonight, but 75 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: we see they will change on the fly if they 76 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: need to. And then they're supposed to be open tomorrow 77 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: until seven pm, so they're going to schedule at least 78 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: to close early tomorrow night. 79 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: That's right, to prepare for the funeral. Pope Francis's official 80 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: funeral set for ten am local time on Saturday. It'll 81 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: happen in Saint Peter's Square, where President Trump and First 82 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: Lady Milania will join leaders and dictaries from around the world, 83 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: and of course the world will be watching to honor 84 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: the pontiff. 85 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: And I had to be in your mind as well. 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: But this is of course for mid of Queen Elizabeth 87 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: her death. Yes, and we were there in London Ford 88 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: and see those lines, and you have to correct me 89 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. I swear those lines got up to 90 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: fifteen plus hours that people were waiting. Yes, and Ques there, 91 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: but it was the same type of thing. People got 92 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: a moment, they were respectful, and then they kept it moving. 93 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: So this is just it's incredible to watch if you 94 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: get a chance. 95 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: Yes, it's it, definitely is. It kind of sets the 96 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: tone for your day too. 97 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: But next here on our run though a different type 98 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: of story related to the Vatican. Yes, the conclave to 99 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: pick a new pope is still a couple of weeks away, 100 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: but the drama has already started. A standoff is potentially 101 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: brewing between the Vatican and one of its disgraced cardinals. 102 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becchu claims he has the right, as 103 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: a member of the College of Cardinals to participate in 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: the conclave and to vote for a new pope, but 105 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: he might find that a conclave keek card has been 106 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: deactivated because the Vatican has this particular cardinal listed as 107 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: a non elector. 108 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: Why would that be the case, because Cardinal Betchu lost 109 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: his rights and privileges as a cardinal for his role 110 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: in a Vatican financial scandal back in twenty twenty. He 111 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: lost those rights and privileges after Pope Francis pushed for 112 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: that to take place. Now bet you. Was then later 113 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: convicted in the Vatican Criminal Court in twenty twenty three, 114 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: the first cardinal ever convicted by that court. Wow. 115 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: So he was sentenced to five years in jail. But 116 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: his appeal is pending, and so he's been allowed to 117 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: keep an apartment at the Vatican while that appeal is 118 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: going through. And while he lost his right and privileges, 119 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: he is still technically a cardinal. 120 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: Yes, So the Vatican has him listed as a non 121 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: elector not supposed to participate, but he plans to be 122 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: at the conclave. He plans to vote. How do we 123 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: know because he's telling us this. Actually gave an interview 124 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: to a newspaper and said there is nothing in writing 125 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: or otherwise that explicitly says he can't participate. What is 126 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: going to happen here? I don't know. He's a one guy. 127 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: Can he really be out there banging on the door 128 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: let me in? What is he going to do? 129 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it will be interesting to find out, 130 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: and we will stay on top of that developing story. 131 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, next up on our run, President 132 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: Trump gave a lengthy, detailed update about the peace talks 133 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: to end the Russia Ukraine War, and unfortunately, it does 134 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: not sound like things are going so great. 135 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a strongly worded statement by the President. 136 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: He's accusing the Ukrainian President Zelensky of prolonging the killing field. 137 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: This was prompted after Zelensky was quoted as saying that 138 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: Ukraine would never recognize Russian occupation of the much debated 139 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: region of Crimea. He essentially drew a line in the 140 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: stand saying this is a non starter. And that's what's 141 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: set off President Trump. 142 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, you said set off because President Trump did 143 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: officially respond with this on social media, and we are 144 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: quoting him here. It's inflammatory statements like Zelensky's that makes 145 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: it so difficult to settle this war. He has nothing 146 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: to boast about. The situation for Ukraine is he can 147 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: have peace or he can fight for another three years 148 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: before losing the whole country. 149 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, statements made by Zelenski today will do nothing but 150 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: prolong the killing field. By goodness, gracious, this is all 151 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: the President's worth here. President goes on to say that 152 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: nobody wants the killing field to continue, says, we are 153 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: very close to a deal, but the man with no 154 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: cards to play should now finally get it done. I 155 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: look forward to being able to help Ukraine and Russia 156 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: get out of this complete and total mess that would 157 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: have never started if I were president. Through that in 158 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: for good mess. 159 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's on brand. The administration has signaled frustration lately 160 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: with the lack of progress and the peace talks. The 161 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Vice President Vance even suggested the US could walk away 162 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: from the process. There was a meeting schedule to take place, 163 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: and we know that Rubio Secretary of State Mark Rubio 164 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: pulled out, which deflated the whole hope that perhaps something 165 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: could get done. So we will see. But yeah, not 166 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: looking great right now. 167 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: All right, we will continue here on this Thursday morning. 168 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: In several states have now joined forces and decided to 169 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: take their own shot at ending Trump's trade war. They're 170 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: doing this new thing. That's all the rage. They filed 171 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: a lawsuit. Yeah it's not now all the kids are 172 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: doing it. 173 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: But all the kids are doing it, you're right. And 174 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: a dozen states as well. A dozen states New York, Colorado, 175 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Illinois among them, are now asking a court to block 176 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs. Why or how do they think they can 177 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: do that. They claim that Congress, not the president, has 178 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: the power to raise tariffs, and that what the president 179 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: is doing is actually illegal. 180 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: So yes, this is a similar argument, or the exact 181 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: same argument. But yes, a similar argument made in a 182 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: similar lawsuit filed by similarly pissed off groups who could 183 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: be impacted by Trump's tariffs. California, remember they filed their 184 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: own lawsuit over the tariffs, And then there was a 185 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: group of businesses I think just in the past week 186 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: or two, filed a lawsuit claiming and making these exact 187 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: same statements and accusations about the president. And the White 188 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: House responded with this, saying, once again, Democrats, that's our 189 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: prioritizing a witch hunt against President Trump over protecting the 190 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: safety and well being of their constituents. We mentioned a 191 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 2: dozen states. You probably could guess this is not a 192 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: bipartisan lawsuit. These are all Democratic attorneys general who are 193 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: doing this. 194 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: Makes sense, all right? Next up on the run, how 195 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: does a baby bonus sound to create a baby boom? Well, 196 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Apparently it's under consideration at the White House. President Trump 197 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: told reporters yesterday that giving a five thousand dollars bonus 198 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: to every American mother after she gives birth. Quote, sounds 199 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: like a good idea to me, idea to you? Uh sure? 200 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Why not? 201 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: Sure? Why not? 202 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: I mean no, I'm joking. It seems bizarre. You get 203 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: a push present from your husband or from the baby daddy. 204 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: I understand that, but a push president from the president 205 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: seems a little weird. 206 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: Well, it seems like every woman, that anybody that goes 207 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: through that process should get a reward of some kind 208 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: at the end. Yeah, it feels like a little. 209 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: Bones of something from your husband or your partner or whomever. 210 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: From the president. It's weird. 211 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: She doesn't want to push for what are they. 212 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: Called a push present? 213 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: A push present? 214 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, a push present. 215 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the vacation thing is? 216 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: Oh, it's a baby moon bay. You go out on 217 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: vacation before you have the baby so that you can 218 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: have one last exciting romantic trip before the baby comes. 219 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: Sor arrey you all. I got a little off track. 220 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: I had a few questions. But back to this five 221 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: thousand dollars bonus, This is one of many proposals that's 222 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: being pitched to the White House to get more Americans 223 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: yes to have children. White House spokesperson Carolyn Levitt went 224 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: on to say that while the President hasn't made any 225 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 2: final decisions on this matter, he is proudly implementing policies 226 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: to uplift American families. 227 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: Yes, White House officials said Trump has already created policies 228 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: to promote families, recognizing that more babies do need to 229 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: be born in the United States. They point to his 230 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: executive order that aims to increase the access and affordability 231 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: of IVF. And remember, just last month, Trump told reporters 232 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: he will be known as the fertilization President. Those are 233 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: his who. 234 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: Gives out, not mine. Push gifts, push president, push presence 235 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: from the President. Now, it remains to be seen if 236 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: he's actually going to do this, and if he's he'll 237 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: be responsible for financially incentivizing a baby boom in this country. 238 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: This is an interesting one. This will get certainly the 239 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: tension of a lot of people. What I don't know, 240 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: I don't know how you pay for it, but the idea, 241 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: just the idea every woman that has a baby here 242 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: this will help you get started for this, so that 243 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: I mean. 244 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: I get that. And the number of births are typically 245 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: declining by two percent a year on average. This is 246 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: at least for the last several years. So there's a 247 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: reason why he would like to see more Americans born. 248 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: All right, we'll stay with us folks here on this 249 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 2: Thursday morning run. When we come back, you might finally 250 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: start to look at your portfolio again. Things seem to 251 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: have gotten a little night yet, just for a couple 252 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: of days. Also coming up here, it is going to 253 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: be a big, big night. A lot of grown men 254 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: are going to be crying. And you need to hear 255 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: the list of the cities with the cleanest air and 256 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: the dirtiest there California. Don't miss this. All right, welcome back. 257 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: Let's keep running here now, and we are looking at 258 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: the possibility of a full week of gains and the 259 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: stock market possibility. 260 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: Okay, possibility. We'll take that, especially given the volatility and 261 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: on some days flat out nosedives the market has taken 262 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: with all of the uncertainty around the trade war. All 263 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: three major indices were up yesterday, the Dow gaining four 264 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: hundred plus points. The Nasdaq was up two and a 265 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: half and the S and P was nearly up two percent. 266 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: I just like saying the word up because we haven't 267 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: been saying up very much. 268 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: So why are we up? Well, A lot of folks 269 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 2: will tell you a few things happened. One President Trump, 270 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: he's signaled more of a willingness to ease some of 271 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: the trade tensions. Also, the Treasury Secretary suggested that there's 272 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: a big opportunity for a major trade deal. And then 273 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: the President also stopped talking at least stopped talking about 274 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 2: one person in particular, the Fed chairman. Of course, he 275 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: was bashing him, and every time he did, the stock 276 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: markets took a dive. So we stopped doing that. Said 277 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: he wasn't going to fire him. That was a big deal. 278 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 2: And all those things believed to have come together at 279 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: least settle markets a little bit. 280 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: Still haven't looked at my portfolio yet, nah, next up 281 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: on the run, Well, the next story almost wants to 282 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: make you hold your breath. Apparently, nearly half of us 283 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: live in cities that received an F in air quality 284 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: in the American Lung Association's annual State of the Air Report. 285 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: Deal The group says in twenty twenty five, one hundred 286 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: and fifty six million Americans are breathing in unhealthy levels 287 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: of smog and soot. Ugh, right, where do we rank rooms? 288 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: But yes, we have a lot of people wondering about 289 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 2: your city. The six year in the row, though, six 290 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 2: year in a row, the worst air was in the 291 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: same city. Yep. Oh, come on, Baker's Phil we gotta 292 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: do better. Yes, Bakersfield, California number one on the bad list. 293 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the city with the cleanest air Casper, Wyoming. 294 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: And that makes sense. It only has eighty thousand residents. 295 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: It's in the Great Wide Open, so not a lot 296 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: of plants polluting the air in that area. So good 297 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: for you, guys, Casper, Wyoming. Here are the list, or 298 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: here is the list of the top ten cities with 299 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: the worst pollution. And yes, we tease this, half of 300 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: them are in California. Experts say extreme heat, a lack 301 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: of precipitation, and those wildfires all play an increasing role 302 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: in worsening air quality. So Bakersfield, California number one? Is it? Visalia, California. 303 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know how to say that city's name. 304 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: I hope I didn't ruin it. Fresno is next, number three, 305 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: number four, Eugene, Oregon, number five, La, number six, Detroit, 306 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: number seven, San Jose, San Francisco, number eight, Houston, number nine, Cleveland, 307 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: and number ten Fairbanks, Alaska. 308 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: And then you mentioned the clean it's number one. There's 309 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: a tie at the top between Casper and Honolulu. 310 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: Both you say Honolulu, someone. 311 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: From there Honolu. Really someone from there once say it's 312 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,119 Speaker 2: it's Honolulu, say Honolulu years ago. 313 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: And I just noticed that. 314 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: Somebody's probably gonna correct me now and said that wrong. 315 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: So good luck with the next one. 316 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: Kyle Louis. We should know that because I spent time there. 317 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't lucky you well. 318 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: And then we got boz in Montana, beangal Main, Anchorage, Alaska, 319 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: Saint George, Utah, Cheyenne, Wyoming, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, and 320 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: in Wilmington, North Carolina. Those are your cleanest cities. And 321 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: these are cities that don't have major population centers. 322 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: Do they Uh No, And that makes a lot of sense. 323 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: I've been to some of these places, and yes, they 324 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: are a little bit more remote and therefore they have 325 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: cleaner air. The American Lung Association points out there are 326 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: serious health impacts when we're talking about this air pollution. 327 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: It can lead to premature death, causing asthma, heart attack, strokes, 328 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: lung cancer, you name it. You can go to their 329 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: website to find out where your city ranks. And yes, 330 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: I check New York. We got an F. Really, yeah, 331 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: we got an F. Yeah. 332 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: Why? 333 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean, have you ever cleaned your windows in your apartment? 334 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 335 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all you need to see.

This is the biggest event 345 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: that the NFL puts on each and every year, and 346 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: it's happening in one of the NFL's smallest cities, Green Bay, Wisconsin. 347 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: And this will be the first time Green Bay has 348 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: ever hosted a draft. It starts tonight with Round one 349 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: and it goes on through Saturday. 350 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oprah. The next three days there going to be 351 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: seven rounds, two hundred and fifty seven players selected. Tennessee 352 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 2: Titans get the first pick, followed by Cleveland, New York, 353 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 2: New England, and then Jacksonville. So it's all you know, 354 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: if these kids and their families have been working at 355 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 2: this their entire lives, and then sometimes you just it's 356 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: not just about they're about to get big checks and 357 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: millionaires and all this stuff. This is a big family 358 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: moment for a lot of these guys, and it's always 359 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: exciting to watch. The outfits are always exciting to watch. 360 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: I know. So I think I just I've never really 361 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: watched it until we got together, and it's been really fun. 362 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: I remember each year we've been sitting down and it does. 363 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: It's emotional, it's fun, it's exciting. You love seeing the 364 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: proud moms and dads and simply it's just it's it's 365 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: a feel good moment. 366 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 2: And even if you're not into it, I suggest watch 367 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: the very beginning, so see the top picks. That's exciting, 368 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 2: and then watch the end on Saturday, the last round 369 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: and see who gets picked as mister Irrelevant. It's the 370 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 2: last guy picked in the NFL draft. So whoever's picked 371 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 2: number two hundred and fifty seven this year, he's going 372 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: to be known forever as mister Irrelevant because he's the 373 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 2: last guy and nobody's supposed to care about him, and 374 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: he's the underdog kind of a thing. So they started 375 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 2: calling the. 376 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: Dead that's cool. I didn't know that, Yes. 377 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: So if you that's an interesting one.
