WEBVTT - Morning Run: Will Trump's Convictions Go Bye-Bye? Will Gaetz' Ethics Report be Released? And Were Those "Escaped" Monkeys Released? 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.120 Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:08.920 Hey they're folks, and welcome to the Morning Run on 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:10.840 this Tuesday, November nineteenth, I'm TJ. 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.760 Holt and I'm Amy Robock. Thanks for running with us. 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:17.640 And on today's run, a terrifying Monday morning in Manhattan, 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.960 a man goes on a deadly and random stabbing spree. 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.239 Also, a big day in court for Donald Trump. Could 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.640 today be the day his thirty four felony convictions go away? 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.319 As Congress decides whether to release the ethics reports on 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.519 Trump's ag pick Matt Gates. A lawyer has now come 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.839 forward to say his client's testified to Congress that Gates 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.120 paid them for sex. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.800 Plus day is accusing the government of outrageous behavior, in 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:47.040 particular going through his stuff. 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.559 And welcome to Congress. But you can't use that bathroom. 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.720 A Republican introduces a bill to keep this country's first 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.080 transgender representative out of the women's bathroom. 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.840 Also, their planes are bright yellow. Their company, though, is 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:05.560 in deep red discount. Carrier Spirit Airlines is declaring bankruptcy. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.840 And a major update on that mass monkey escape in 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.800 South Carolina. It might have been an inside job. We 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.200 will get to that in just a moment, but first 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.560 we begin our morning run here in New York. Today 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.640 is a huge day in Donald Trump's criminal case, where 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.840 a judge is set to decide if the thirty four 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:28.400 time convicted felon will remain a thirty four time convicted felony. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.880 You'll remember he was convicted by a jury in May 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.840 for falsifying financial records related to a hush money payment 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.959 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He was scheduled to 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.360 be sentenced in that case on November twenty sixth, But 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.679 two pretty significant things happened since his conviction. One a 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.040 July ruling by the US Supreme Court that presidents have 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.480 brought immunity from prosecution. And two, well, he won the election. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.080 Yeah, that number two is a big one. So all 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.480 of this creates an unprecedented constitutional kuwiki dink for the court. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.840 So the judge in his case has a few choices, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:10.480 including setting aside Trump's convictions or dismissing the case all together. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.760 And this was all supposed to happen a week ago, 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.120 but it's happening today. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.359 Yeah, it was very interesting to see the judge, the prosecution, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.800 and the defense all agreed last week. You know what, 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:22.880 we need another week to. 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:23.400 Go through this. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.919 It's a lot, President, un President, you have a felon 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.680 that just won an election. What do you do? So 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.960 they want an extra time? So today, who knows, they 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.960 could go in there and maybe want more time. They 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.880 could go in there and the prosecution is going to 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.440 give a recommendation of some kind. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:39.160 We'll see. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.640 If all sides can't agree, then the judge is going 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.079 to break the tie and decide what to do here. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.880 But it is fascinating to see. 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.920 I was just going to use that word too, fascinating 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.079 because this could be or would be the first time 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.880 a convicted felon becomes president of the United States, but 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.160 that might not actually even take place. He might just 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.480 be a regular citizen without a criminal record who is 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.880 now been re elected to presidents sink. 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.720 You're going too far by saying he's a regular. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.520 You know, Okay, you know what I mean, a person 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:11.720 without a criminal record. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.400 All right, folks, Well, we were going to continue the 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.560 run on this Tuesday and head to Washington, d C. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.000 Where we are hearing more details surround the allegations against 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:25.440 Trump's pick for Attorney general, former now former Congressman Matt Gates, 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.760 the lawyer representing two women who testified to the House 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.080 Ethics Committee that Gates paid them for sex, spoke to 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.520 several news outlets last night, and he gave a lot 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:36.880 more detail about the testimony. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.920 He sure did. We're talking about attorney Joel Leppard, he said. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.400 One of the women described witnessing Gates having sex with 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.360 a seventeen year old girl by a pool at a 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.760 house party in twenty seventeen. Now, Leopard said Gates stopped 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.240 having sex with the minor after he learned she was underage, saying, quote, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.040 her understanding was that Matt Gates did not know that 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.240 she was a miner, and that when he learned she 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.880 was a miner, that he broke off things and did 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.760 not continue with sexual relationship until she turned eighteen. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.280 You did hear all that correctly, folks. Leopard also said 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.800 both of the women testify to the committee that Gates 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:17.240 paid them for sex using venmo. Gates has previously denied 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:20.040 the allegations. Now the issue is what the House Ethics 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.280 Committee decides to do with the findings of its investigation 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:24.240 into Gates' behavior. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.440 Right, because this investigation had been going on for the 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.080 past three years on and off, and not only involved 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.640 those sexual misconduct allegations, but also illicit drug use and 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:39.640 accepting improper gifts. The committee technically lost jurisdiction over Gates 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.200 when he resigned from Congress last Thursday to accept Trump's 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.640 nomination for attorney general. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.400 So the committee is going to meet tomorrow to discuss 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.160 the report and what to do with it. They may 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.200 potentially hold a vote on whether or not to release it. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.680 House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that the reports should 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.760 not be made public because Gates is no longer a 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.880 member of Congress and like you said, they don't have 0:04:58.960 --> 0:04:59.720 jurisdiction over him. 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:00.920 It's over. 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.320 Yeah, And with all of these new details coming out, 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.320 a Trunk spokesperson weighed in on the controversy, saying this, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:11.360 these are baseless allegations intended to derail the second Trump administration. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.440 The Biden Justice Department investigated Gates for years and cleared 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:20.359 him of wrongdoing, and they are heavily putting some pressure 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.159 on many Senate Republicans because right now it looks like 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.760 at least five Republican senators are signaling that they're not 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.240 sure whether or not they would support Gates in a 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:35.360 confirmation hearing. So it's it's a we'll see what whether 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.800 or not we get to see the report, actually the 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.479 findings of the committee, and b will see where Republicans 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.400 stand on confirming Gates. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.000 It continues kind of the chaos around this is what 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.320 some people feared. You know, Trump is there that was 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.560 constantly chaos in his administration, and just now with a 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.279 lot of the nominations, there's this, there's that, there's a trickle, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.680 there's an investigation, there's a record, there's. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.480 This is part process. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.400 They're being vetted publicly before the senators vet them. I 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.479 suppose Gates. I can't imagine. Can you imagine those hearings? 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:13.640 No, I cannot confirmation hearings. It's going to be a spectacle, 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:14.400 to say the least. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.360 All right, well, next up, I'm going to continue to 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.880 run in Capitol Hill. Not just on Capitol Hill, I 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:24.479 should say, but in the Capitol building itself. History was 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.119 made on election night when Sarah McBride of Delaware became 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.000 the first transgender person ever elected to Congress. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.800 Well now, just two weeks after that historic moment, one 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.400 of her new colleagues is telling her where she can 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.840 and cannot use the bathroom when she comes to work 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.719 at the Capitol in January. And by the way, she's 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.440 not just telling her. She's going so far as to 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.320 introduce a bill that would ban transgender women from using 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.839 women's restrooms at the US Capitol. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.040 Can you say that again? 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.960 Yes, she is introducing a bill that would ban transgender 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.400 women from using women's restrooms at the US Capitol. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:06.440 Okay, history was made first ever transgender person coming to Congress, 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.760 and two weeks later, a bill, a law is being 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.520 introduced to dictate where this new member of Congress can 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.360 use the bathroom. Is where we are. This new resolution 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.480 states that a member of Congress and I'm quoting, may 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.520 not use a single sex facility in the Capitol or 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.800 House Office building other than those corresponding to their biological sex. 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.520 It also states that allowing transgender women to use the 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:37.840 women's bathroom I'm quoting again, jeopardizes the safety and dignity 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:41.440 of members of the House of Representatives who are women. Now. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.560 For her part, Representative elect McBride said this in a 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.160 statement in response to all of this. Every day Americans 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.400 go to work with people who have life journeys different 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.400 from their own. And engage with them respectfully. I hope 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.000 members of Congress can muster that same kindness. She also 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.560 called this a move by far right extremists who have 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.840 no real solutions for the country. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.720 So this bill was introduced. 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.680 Who would introduce such a bill? Which member of Congress 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.520 has done this? Well, we're talking about Republican Congresswoman Nancy 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:18.280 Mace of South Carolina. She's strongly and proudly defended the bill, 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.680 which she says is about protecting women. Her words and 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:26.160 I quote biological men do not belong in private women's spaces. 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.240 In quote, I think a lot of people do agree 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.160 with that sentiment. We've seen plenty of debates around the 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.480 country that I've gotten pretty nasty about bathrooms and who 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.360 can use what, and who's a boy, who's a girl, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:38.520 and all these things. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.600 Even if people agree with that. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.840 Statement that men don't belong in private women's spaces, the 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.319 way she's gone about it now feels really mean to people. 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:53.000 Right, And I guess we've talked about this when we 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.120 saw this story first emerge yesterday. You know, having conversations 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.000 with people who are different than you is such an 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.640 important part of this would just hope, but maybe I'm 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.040 silly to hope that members of Congress could act like 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.199 adults and do that and have those conversations and instead 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.560 of writing laws, try to understand and figure out if 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.200 there's a better solution. I was looking to see what 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.920 the setup is in the Capitol. Obviously it's an old building, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.560 but from what I could tell, there is just one 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.760 single use restroom, and it's in the Longworth building on 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.480 the house side of Capitol Hill, which is in the basement. 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.640 And so there was a push two years ago. I 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.079 don't know what happened with it by members of Congress 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.280 who were saying, hey, we need to have some more 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.240 single use restrooms. That will make a difference for transgender 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.920 folks who may one day work here, or for transgender 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.240 people who come to visit the capital. Just giving them 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.000 an option is part of the solution, not just banning 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.920 people and telling them where they can and can't use 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.240 the restrooms. So I don't know what happened with that, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:54.280 but that seems like that would be a more congenial 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:55.880 way to find a solution. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:56.839 That's just all. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.440 This is not about somebody taking a side. We are 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.480 not suggesting at all. We're on this side and this 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.440 should be the case and transgendo fotion. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:04.199 That's not it. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.120 If you disagree, whatever side you're on, you can't just 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.280 call this person up, talk through it, talk about it, 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.079 go to the facilities at the Capitol, the facilities managers, 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.640 and say can we possibly get more mixed use or 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:18.800 gender neutral bathroom? 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:19.320 There's a way. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.160 See, this is a human being, no matter what you 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.200 think about transgender issues, this is a human being that 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.440 just want to seat in Congress. And somebody's proposing a 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.040 law to dictate where you use the bathroom as a 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:34.800 human being. That just hurts. And that's it feels like 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.360 you're being targeted, and it feels like bullying. And I 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.880 just wish there was a different way to go about it, 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.400 no matter which issue, which side of the issue, you're on. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:45.240 That part was the first thing I told you when 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.960 you came out this morning we started working. I said, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.640 this one hurt like any story I've read in politics. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.199 And again, and it's not where you or we stand 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.719 on the issue, it's how we go about addressing it. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.320 That is what it's about. All right. Next up on Iran, 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.880 we're going to return to Manhattan, where it was a 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.079 frightening day to be a New Yorker on the sidewalk. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:10.160 Three people were randomly and brutally murdered here yesterday morning. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.080 Yeah, it was a scary morning as we started getting 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.920 these reports and trying to figure out exactly what was 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.360 going on. This went on a while. A fifty one 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.679 year old Ramon Rivera walked up to and then repeatedly 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.839 stabbed his victims between eight thirty and eleven a m 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.760 throughout the city yesterday. This all according to police. He 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.920 is in custody has been a resident of the Bellevue 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.640 Men's Shelter here in the city, according to authority. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.199 Yeah, this is so frightening to hear what happened and 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.760 how it happened. Police say that Rivera first fatally stabbed 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.040 a thirty year old construction worker on the job on 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.760 nineteenth Street, and then two hours later he made his 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.920 way up to thirtieth Street and stabbed a sixty eight 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.920 year old man to death right there on the sidewalk. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.320 And then twenty minutes later he stabbed a woman on 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.079 forty second Street. She had multiple stab wounds in the 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:00.959 chest and arms. She was still alive when she was 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.960 rushed at the hospital, but unfortunately she succumbed to her 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:09.160 injuries a few hours later. It was just a terrible, terrible, 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:10.480 scary scene. 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.800 Again, it went on for hours here before the man 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.200 was finally arrested on forty six Street. Police say they 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.720 recovered two bloody knives from him. Officials belief he picked 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:24.080 his victims randomly, but initially provoked disputes with all three 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.480 of them before attacking them. Mayor Eric Adams said Rivera 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:32.160 had eight prior arrests and is believed to have severe 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.160 mental health challenges. And then Adams said this, which is 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.520 what you and a lot of people are also all 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:42.040 thinking right now. There's a real question as to why 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.240 he was on the street. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.600 And you know what, this is a scary situation for 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.440 anyone who lives in New York, anyone who's visited New York. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.520 We absolutely see the problem. It's not just homelessness, but 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.440 it's folks who have severe mental issues, and it is 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.680 concerning that they aren't in a protected place, a place 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.560 that protects them and protects the people around them. And 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.320 this is actually something I'm surprised doesn't happen more often 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.160 with what we see on the streets here in New York. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.040 So maybe perhaps something can be addressed, something can be done. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.360 We saw Adam's weighing in. Maybe he can try and 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.319 finally do something about it. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.719 All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.480 Tuesday morning run. When we come back, we have an 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.600 update in the legal back and forth and maneuvering in 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:30.240 the Ditty case. This time it's Ditty's turn to accuse 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.960 the government of doing something outrageous. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.080 Welcome back, everyone, We continue our run with another Ditty update. 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:50.200 Lawyers for Sean Dittycombs have made serious accusations that the 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.040 US government may be violating his constitutional rights. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:58.520 In particular, they say prosecutors have been snooping through Ditty's stuff, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.439 including materials from his jail sale which fall under attorney 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.840 client privilege. Did He has been held at a jailed 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.839 in Brooklyn since his arrest in September on racketeering and 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.160 sex trafficking charges. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.199 In a new court filing, his lawyers are requesting an 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.800 immediate hearing to determine who authorized a government raid on 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.000 Ditty's cell phone that or did he sell excuse me, 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.520 not his cell phone, but the cell he is actually in. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.880 That raid yielded notes with details about Ditty's defense strategy 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.800 and his pre trial preparation, and they claim a lot 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.080 of it was privileged material that the government turned around 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.800 and then used in their arguments to the court for 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.880 why did he should be denied bail? 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.200 In their words, this is a matter of grave concern 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:46.120 and its outrageous government conduct amounting to a substantive due 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.280 process violation. Prosecutors explain themselves though this way they do 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.400 have they I was about to say, excuse, They say 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.000 they have reasons for this and they can explain it. One, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.040 did He cell was part of a jail wide security 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.760 sweep that was planned before did He was even arrested, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.360 So the argument there is that he wasn't targeted at all. Also, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.040 Number two, the materials from Didty cell were first reviewed 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:16.440 by a filter team that they say determined which materials 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.800 were privileged and which ones weren't. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.760 All right, So, as you might imagine, it's been a 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.960 very intense few days of legal maneuvering and back and 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:28.680 forth with prosecutors on Friday accusing Diddy of trying to 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.800 obstruct justice from behind bars. That's part of the information 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.320 that they got from his cell. His trial is scheduled 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.280 for next May, so we have a long way to 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.120 go with all of this back and forth, and it 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.280 seems like there are weekly, if not daily updates. 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.600 There are, and we don't know if he's going to 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.680 get a hearing that they're requesting about all of this, 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.480 but he keeps getting denied bail. He's put up, he's 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.840 offered a bail package like you've never heard before, fifty 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.200 million dollars plus twenty four hour monitoring, and the prosecutors 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.480 and the judges of all all kept saying this is 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.920 a powerful guy who will try to get around the law, 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.200 and he will try to evade justice. And some of 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.440 the stuff they came out with over the past few days, 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.720 borrowing other paying other inmates for use of their telephone 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.240 accounts so he can can't be monitored. It was some 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.880 pretty outrageous stuff. But it's we're just getting started. We 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.120 got until May, right, I know. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.200 Yeah. They're describing him as a master manipulator, so no 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.800 matter where he is, he gets people to do what 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.120 he wants for him, and so that is the problem. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:33.080 And apparently even from behind bars, according to prosecutors. All right, 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:34.760 next up on the run, we're gonna look up to 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.120 the skies and spirit airlines known for its cheap, no 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.560 frills tickets and of course they're big yellow planes. Well, 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.920 Spirit Airlines has filed for bankruptcy. 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.360 They seem to be I would have thought they were 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:48.080 doing well. Every time I look up, I see a 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.040 yellow plane. But those are the only ones you see usually, right, 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.360 they stand out. Yes, but a number of setbacks for 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.240 this airline over the years, including a federal judge blocking 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.120 its plan merger with Jet Blue Airways at the first 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.520 of this year. They've lost more than two point two 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:04.600 billion dollars since the beginning of twenty twenty. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.399 Yeah. So with this move, its stock will actually be 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.960 delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and it's a 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.280 stock that's fallen more than ninety percent from the start 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.800 of this year. In a letter to its customers, those 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.520 Spirits said its patrons could continue to use all of 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.280 their tickets, their credits, and loyalty points as normal. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.800 We haven't seen a major airline declared bankruptcy in more 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.879 than a decade. If you'll remember, we see this happen 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.200 from time to time. American Delta United all filed bankruptcy 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.840 cases after the September eleventh at tax A lot of companies. Certainly, 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.399 all of those airlines emerged in stronger financial positions after 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.240 filing for Chapter eleven, So this isn't necessarily the end 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:43.919 of the road for Spirit, correct. 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.120 That is the hope that Spirit Airlines will be able 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.200 to come out of this better and stronger. The CEO 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.560 saying that the arrangements that they've agreed to with this 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.199 filing represents a strong vote of confidence in Spirit and 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.000 our long term plan. So those big yellow planes aren't 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.439 going away anytime soon. 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.159 Right, It will turn now to our final leg like 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.920 this run just flew by, didn't it those times? 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.640 Right? And on this final leg now? 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.879 And then there were four We got a monkey's on 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.440 their own update for you from South Carolina. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.119 That's right. It means thirty nine of the original forty 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.560 three monkeys that escaped the South Carolina Research Lab are 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.400 now back safely, we're told, happily and healthy in their enclosure. 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.800 But here's the question that's emerging. Did they actually escape 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:31.000 or were they released? 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.560 Okay, this is all I love this story even more now, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:35.680 the CEO. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.160 Of the lab, excuse me, I'm coughed up. I'm getting 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.879 choked up on this story. The CEO of the lab. 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:44.000 Has now said it is investigating whether or not their 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:49.000 escape was accidental or an intentional act. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.639 Remember that new employee who didn't properly close the gates. 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.679 There are actually three gates that she was supposed to 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.320 lock and latch, and all three of those gates were 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.919 left unsecure. That worker walked off the job when she 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.120 was told she could face disciplinary action if the gates 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.000 were deemed working properly. They were, and I'll say last 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.080 week they said, hey, it was absolutely an accident, But 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.280 now an official investigation is underway as to whether or 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.040 not she potentially did this intentionally. There have been animal 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.280 rights groups that are weighing in on this, saying the 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:27.080 company's history of violations are not at all appropriate. They said, 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.920 obviously we reported on this. There were previous monkey breakouts 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.720 as well. So we also have Nancy Mace once again 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:35.960 weighing in on this because this happens to have happened 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.920 in her district. She's asking for an inquiry into its 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.960 oversight by multiple federal agencies. So even when all the monkeys, 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.040 and if all the monkeys make it back safely into 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.080 their enclosures, this story may continue to have legs. 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.400 Yeah, and Nancy Mace. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.359 Once they get back, where are they going to be 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.720 able to use the bathroom? Which monkeys go here? Which 0:19:57.760 --> 0:19:58.640 monkeys go there? 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.200 I'm sorry the full circle moment here on the run. 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.800 Again, you all, if you'll have been following the Morning Run. 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.600 Clearly we love this story about the escape monkeys. We've 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.240 been rooting for them, but this changes everything. If there 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.440 was this was an inside and now it feels like 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.600 a crime that they're a part of, versus we're just 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:16.320 rooting for the monkeys that go away? 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.880 All right? Books on this? What are we Tuesday? Tuesday? 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.159 As you go about your Tuesday, Now we have something 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.439 for you we liked for you to consider as you 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:25.080 go about your day. 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.560 That's right, here's the quote of the day. It's a 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.680 toxic desire to try to be perfect. I realized later 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.320 in life that the challenge is not to be perfect, 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.520
