The 80 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: National Guard, yes, is on duty in DC. This is 81 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: one day after the President announced that federal takeover in 82 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: the nation's capital. National Guard troops, Yes, we're already seen 83 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: on the streets of DC now. 84 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: The President declared a public safety emergency in d C. 85 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: Ordered at least eight hundred National Guard troops to be 86 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: deployed to the city. They'll start showing up more and 87 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: more in the coming weeks, according to the Defense Secretary. 88 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: The President has framed this as a necessary effort to 89 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: get crime under control in the nation's capital. He's also 90 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: invoked special powers that allow him to put DC Metropolitan 91 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: Police under federal control for up to thirty days. 92 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: National Guard troops do have the authority to make arrests, 93 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: so the administration. 94 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: So I'm so sorry as do not I put that 95 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: in there. 96 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: That's my accidental right, because I actually thought I was like, wow, 97 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: this is a change. Okay. They do not, repeat, do 98 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: not have the authority to make arrests. So the administration 99 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: says they will just be there to support local law 100 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: enforcement and to be a physical presence, maybe a deterrence 101 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: there on the streets. Meanwhile, DC officials keep screaming this 102 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: is not necessary, and they're pointing to the statistics that 103 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: show a drop, a fairly large drop in violent crime 104 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: in DC. 105 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to come back to bite 106 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: me by saying we had great sleep. 107 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: Scores, because not and not having a knot is all 108 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: the difference in his story. 109 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: But I have terrible sleep scores every day, I leave 110 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: out a word in a script that changes the entire 111 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: meaning of the story. 112 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: It happens to everyone. 113 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: Oh man, I gotta go back to just getting four 114 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: hours of sleep. All right, we continue on the run. Now, 115 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: the national debt has surpassed a record number, far sooner 116 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: than expected. So this was expected that you were going 117 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: to hit a record, but just not this soon. We 118 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: have now gone beyond thirty seven trillion dollars, and we've 119 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: done this five years ahead of schedule. 120 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: In January of twenty twenty, the Congressional Budget Office projected, yes, 121 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: that we would reach that thirty seven trillion mark after 122 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: fiscal year twenty thirty. But debt grew much faster than anticipated, 123 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: they say because of the pandemic. And now with the 124 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: big beautiful bills signed into law, the CBO says four 125 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: point one trillion more dollars will be added to the 126 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: national debt over the next decade. 127 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: Perspective, let's see, all right. National debt was at thirty 128 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: four trillion in January of twenty twenty four, thirty five 129 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: trillion by July of last year, thirty six trillion by 130 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: November of next year. We have been adding a trillion 131 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: dollars to the national debt every five months, and that's 132 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: more than twice as fast at the average rate over 133 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: the last twenty five years. 134 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: Isn't that insane? It's mind boggeling to even think what 135 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: a trillion dollars is and to think we're accruing that 136 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: much more debt every five months is astounding. 137 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: And you know what, I mean to put you on 138 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: the spot. How many zeros is that? 139 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. 140 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. 141 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: So how does all of this affect you personally? Because 142 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: we hear these numbers, we're like, yeah, okay, but what 143 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 2: does that mean for me? Well, rising debt means higher 144 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: borrowing costs for mortgages and cars, more expensive goods and services, 145 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: and even lower wages because businesses will have less money 146 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 2: to be able to invest, so they can't invest it 147 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: in their employees. 148 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: It's that simple, folks. The government is doing what you 149 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: know not to do in your home, which is to 150 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: spend more than you bring in, and that's what we 151 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: keep doing at an alarming rate. We stay in DC 152 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: for the next leg of the run, where the Trump 153 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: administration announced it will begin reviewing the Smithsonian Museums. What 154 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: are they reviewing all current and planned exhibitions. The administration 155 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: is going to assess what they say is quote the tone, 156 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: historical framing, and alignment with American ideals. 157 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: In quote, the White House wrote this letter to the 158 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: Secretary of the Smithsonian saying the museums will be required 159 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: to adjust any content that the administration finds problematic within 160 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty days. It's scary, right. It goes 161 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: on to say the White House review, and I'm going 162 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: to quote them here, aims to ensure alignment with the 163 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: President's directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, 164 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions. This is 165 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: all sounding so scarily like dangerous nationalism. I'm sorry I'm 166 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: saying that because I think that's just what it reads like. 167 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they're saying clearly that they're about to 168 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: DEI the SMITHSONI and yes, yes, the exhibits. It's one 169 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: thing to DEI the hiring practices and whatnot, but they're 170 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: about to DEI. He's saying it, yes in this quote.

The Kennedy Center Honors recipients will be announced today. 186 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: This is a prestigious honor that has the slight stench 187 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: of politics even before the announcement is made. 188 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: Yeah. Because President Trump, as you have heard, probably has 189 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: exerted his power over the Performing Arts Center, firing the 190 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: board of trustees earlier this year year and naming a 191 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: new chairman of the board, Donald J. Trump. Now there 192 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: is an effort even out there to get his name 193 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: on the front of the building.

This is how he teased today's 197 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: honors announcement, quoting him. Here, great nominees for the Trump 198 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 2: slash Kennedy Center whoops, I mean Kennedy Center Awards.

Tremendous work is being done and 200 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: money being spent on bringing it back to the absolute 201 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: top level of luxury, glamour and entertainment. It had fallen 202 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: on hard times physically, but will soon be making a 203 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: major comeback. 204 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: Okay, now, the bill we're talking about that wants to 205 00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: rename the place the Trump, the Trump Center, the Trump Senator, 206 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: the Trump Center, the Trump Center.

Oh 215 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: my goodness. Now the bill we're talking about here. It's 216 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: called the Make Entertainment Great Again Act and was introduced 217 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: by Congressman Bob Honder of Missouri this summer during Trump's 218 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: first term. Though he did not attend the Kennedy Center honors, 219 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: several performers and honorees were outspoken critics of Trump, and 220 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: some performers over the years have even refused to do 221 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: shows at the Kennedy Center because of Trump's involvement. 222 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: The Kennedy Center did tease the announcement about this year's 223 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: honorees on X, saying, coming soon, a country music icon, 224 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 2: an Englishman, a New York City rock band, a dance queen, 225 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: and a multi billion dollar actor walk into the Kennedy 226 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: Center Opera house. A multi billion dollar actor. I don't 227 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 2: know who that would be. 228 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: Multi billion that could be. I don't know if Sam 229 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: Jackson came to mind. 230 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. 231 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: A Robert Downey junior. We think of people who are 232 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: associated with these big films that make billions of dout. 233 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: That's the only thing that came to my. 234 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: Mind, all right. Next up on the run, A grandfather 235 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: and his four year old granddaughter were among those killed 236 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: in that Target parking lot shooting in Austin, Texas. Police 237 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: have now identified the shooter and reviewed details about the chaos, confusion, 238 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 2: and the terror that happened during the shooting and the 239 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: hour long pursuit of the suspect. 240 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: Police say the suspect, Ethan Ninneker, went to the Target 241 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: parking lot around two fifteen on Monday and inexplicably attacked, shot, 242 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: and killed a Target employee who was collecting shopping carts 243 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: in the parking lot. I don't know why ropes all 244 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: of us that go into parking lots. That seems like 245 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: such a thankless job. We see someone out there having 246 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: to chase down just doing their thing. Kind of always 247 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: think people are rude, Like put that chopping car in 248 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: the right place so somebody doesn't have to go chase 249 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: it down to somebody's job. To think that person got 250 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: killed for that reason, Yeah, that just is disturbing in 251 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: so many ways.

They said he then assaulted a 261 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: water truck driver, tried to steal the truck but wasn't 262 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 2: able to get it started. Then he chased down another 263 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: guy before getting back into the Forerunner, eventually wrecking it. 264 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: Then tried to steal a self driving car car, tracked 265 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: another car through a brick through the window of someone 266 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: from his Bible study group.

Spencer was a New York native. 354 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: She started acting at the age of seven, but she 355 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: and her family relocated to la after she got that 356 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 2: big gig to play the younger's sister of Raj on 357 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: What's Happening. She continued acting for years after What's Happening ended, 358 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: but ultimately she left the industry to become a doctor, 359 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: a veterinarian.

Had no idea of incredible challenges health challenges 368 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: she overcame in her life. She was in a car 369 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: accident in the seventies in LA. I think this was 370 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: the second season of the show. Her stepfather was killed 371 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: in that accident. She was left in a coma for weeks. 372 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: Wow. 373 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: She talked about it later that because she was in 374 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: a coma, she didn't get to say goodbye to her stepfather. 375 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: That was the guy who was the dad in her life. 376 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: She also had a spinal condition. She ended up being 377 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: paralyzed for eight months, getting surgery for that, and like 378 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Then she ended up having 380 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: emergency brain surgery in twenty eighteen because of brain believing 381 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: she went through it. 382 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 2: I have like chills and it obviously makes me emotional 383 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: thinking about what she went through. But I love what 384 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 2: she said. She said, you really have to live life 385 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: for you at that minute and just try to have fun, 386 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 2: be lighthearted, and be happy while you're here because you 387 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: never know when that time is going to end. 388 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: I included that I just wanted to.

That was just something 392 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: about the way she put it, and I get what 393 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: she's saying, but just trying to have fun. That's the 394 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: simplest thing in the world.

Next up on the run, 406 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 2: we're going to take a major U turn here and 407 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 2: police in California they have recovered a major loot, thirty 408 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: thousand dollars worth of the booboos. In case you've been 409 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: living under a rock like me, I had to look 410 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: them up. These are highly coveted collectible dolls that are 411 00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: apparently all the. 412 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: Rage right and apparently pretty expensive. Police say the thief 413 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: stole the dolls from a warehouse and they went back 414 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: over several days to get these things. It wasn't just 415 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: one heist. They had fourteen boxes of these things stashed 416 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: in a home and Sam Bernardino. They were all being 417 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: prepared for resale, according to police, and have since been 418 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 1: returned to the rightful owner. 419 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: Now. 420 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: It was also this is a separate one from the 421 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: one last week when thief stole seven thousand dollars worth 422 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: of Labuo Boos from a Los Angeles store. Wait how 423 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: much was this? 424 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: This was thirty thousand. It's okay, yeah, So what exactly 425 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: are La Booboos? Well, they're Chinese dolls that sell for 426 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: about twenty eight bucks. They look like monsters with teeth 427 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 2: and devilish smiles. They hang from your purse. You might 428 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: have seen some folks walking around with them. And when 429 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: I say folks, I mean Rihanna. Rihanna had one dangling 430 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: from her purse, so you know they're cool. That might 431 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: have potentially added to all the rage. 432 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how I missed it. We were sitting 433 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: right next to each other at dinner the other day. 434 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: Well, these labooboos are sold in what's called a blind box, 435 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: so when you purchase one, you don't know which one 436 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: you're getting, which adds to the excitement of ordering them. 437 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 2: And by the way, the limited versions of these Furrey 438 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: monsters can retail as much as one hundred and fifty bucks, 439 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 2: so they've got different ranges and prices. There was apparently 440 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: a child's size Laboo Boo that was auctioned off for 441 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 442 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: But there again, they're not that expensive, or you bought 443 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: twenty bucks. I was on the well, so why are we? 444 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: I don't get it, because they're stealing them and then 445 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: sell them at higher prices because they're hard to get. 446 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: So so people are willing. 447 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 2: The demand is higher than the supply. 448 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: But if I go black market try to get one. 449 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean we're not talking thousands, are you? 450 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: Or no? I don't think like hundreds maybe, but yes, 451 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 2: but still that's a lot for worth it for folks 452 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: to steal. I guess, all right, for the final leg 453 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 2: of our run, how many of you, commonly, repeatedly, perhaps 454 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: even daily, this is me go ten to fifteen miles 455 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 2: over the speed limit. All right, well, if you get 456 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: caught here in New York, ticket finds for going eleven 457 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: to thirty miles per hour. I checked, if you go 458 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: over the speed limit by the it's about ninety to 459 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: three hundred bucks plus of course points on your insurance, 460 00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: which is the worst. 461 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: Was going seventeen miles over the speed limit and was 462 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: just fined one hundred and ten thousand dollars. Why was 463 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: this happening? First of all, this man was not in 464 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: New York. He was in Switzerland. He was going okay, 465 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: he was going seventeen miles over the speed limit. He 466 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: was going forty eight miles an hour, so he's not 467 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: exactly hauled in tail, but he was going faster than 468 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: he should have been in a thirty one zone. 469 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it all is converted from kilometers per hour, so 470 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 2: slightly weird. But think about it. Sometimes when you're going 471 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: fast and you go through a neighborhood, like a smaller town. 472 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: He was going through the town of Lucerne, gorgeous Swiss alpstown, 473 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: and you know the speed limit suddenly goes down. That 474 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: could have happened. 475 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: Oh compack, Oh yeah, all of them. 476 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: Oh I'm going fifty to fifty five. All of a 477 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: sudden it goes down to thirty five and it takes 478 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: you a while. Maybe it has slow down. 479 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Not me, I do it immediately. So how in the 480 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: world this guy's supposed to pay one hundred and ten 481 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: thousand dollars ticket And why did he get in the 482 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: first place. He got it because he can afford it. 483 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: The man is one of Switzerland's wealthiest citizens, and the 484 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: region he was caught speeding in gives fines based on income. 485 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 2: I've never heard of this, but this has been a 486 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: thing for quite a while. And it's not just the 487 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: Swiss who imposed finds this way. Germany, France, Austria and 488 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: all the Nordic countries. So Norway, Sweden and Finland. All 489 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: issue finds based on a person's wealth. Conversely, if you're 490 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 2: poor or indigent, you may face a night in jail 491 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: rather than a fine, So they'll find another way to 492 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: punish you, rather than to impose a financial burden on you. 493 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 2: And by the way, even police aren't exempt. 494 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, police officer was fine for going twice the post 495 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: at speed limit while pursuing thieves who had just blown 496 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: up a bank teller machine. He was doing his job. 497 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, in Geneva. Can you imagine if that happened in 498 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: New York. You know how many times we see police speeding. 499 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: If they got fined for breaking the twenty five mile per. 500 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: Hour spece limit, it was in pursuit, Yes, correctly, come on, yep. 501 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: The rules are the rules, and they apply to everybody, apparently, 502 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: but even harsher towards ritch people. 503 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: Okay, that would never fly in this country. 504 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: I looked this up that there's the largest fine ever was. 505 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 2: This was back in twenty ten, a million dollars for 506 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: speeding from a guy who was a billionaire. And last 507 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: year a BMW driver was charged one hundred and twenty 508 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars for tailgating, just for tailgating. Can you 509 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: imagine one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars fine because 510 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: you were driving too closely behind someone else. That's insane. 511 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 2: And in Sweden we gotta be careful. Driver was fined 512 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty thousand dollars for going eighty five 513 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 2: and a thirty five. Now, granted that is fast, but okay, 514 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty thousand dollars. 515 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: What's the thing? 516 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: What? 517 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: What's the calculation? 518 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 2: They have a calculation? They do. I didn't. It's complicated, 519 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 2: but they really do have like a graph. If you 520 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: make this much, this is how much you pay. 521 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: It's wild, all right, folks, Well slow down out there today. 522 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: But as you go about your day, something we'd like 523 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: for you to consider it is our quote of the day. 524 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: Of all the things you wear, your expression is the 525 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: most important. We talk about this all the time. 526 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: Man, we go down this just looking at people's faces 527 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: and you can wow on the subway who's on the phone. 528 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: You see it all the time, and it says so much, 529 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: and sometimes it puts you in a different mood. 530 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: Oh, I so believe it. Sometimes you say what's wrong? 531 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: Because I've got a look on my face, and I 532 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: think to myself, nothing is and why am I scowling 533 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 2: or why am I thinking a negative thought? It Actually 534 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: it's a check on what you're thinking. Whatever you're thinking about, 535 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 2: ruinating about, worrying about, spiraling about, it's on your face. 536 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 2: So if you check your face, you might be able 537 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 2: to check your mind, or at least maybe tell a friend, Hey, 538 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 2: maybe don't say turn that frown upside down. That's really annoying, 539 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 2: but maybe just check in with someone so that they 540 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 2: can check in on themselves, because it is such a 541 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: reflection of your attitude and your energy. 542 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: You know another you do this with me every day. Now, 543 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't look at the quotes of 544 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: the day anymore. I wait and get surprised here and 545 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: as I had no idea what's coming, But this sparked 546 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: now another memory, just like the other day. Dave my Man, 547 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: Good Morning America works audio. He used to take care 548 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: of me on live television because anytime I was naturally 549 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: reacting to something or something wasn't right, he'd get in 550 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: my ear and he say, fix your face because something 551 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: is not coming across. 552 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 2: He did that to me too, Fix your face. 553 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: And it's just a heads up that you don't even realize. 554 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Maybe the impression you're giving by the face you're making. 555 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: So thank you for that. Dave, love your brother. 556 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: Of all the things you wear, your expression is the 557 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: most important. So smile if you can today. Everyone. I'm 558 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: Amy Robot, thank you for listening, and I'm TJ. 559 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: Holmes.
