I'm TJ. 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.280 Holks and I'm Amy Robach. Thank you for coming along 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.040 on the Morning Run with us on this second day 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:19.840 of October. Civility, fact checking and cut Mike's just a 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:22.840 few of the takeaways from last night's vice presidential debate. 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.920 Also Aaran attacks Israel like never before, the world awaits 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:32.880 Israel's response, and an astonishing ditty update Today, expect new 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.560 lawsuits from over a hundred accusers. 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.400 Plus Mayor Adams will have to leave work at City 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.720 Hall today for an appointment in a federal courthouse. Plus 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.880 hundreds still missing and millions remain without power. Now five 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.120 days after Halleen made landfall, and. 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:53.440 The entertainment world is once again dealing with the loss 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:57.840 of stars to this time, one played JJ's dad on 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.600 Good Times, the other the soul called Bearded Charmer from 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.920 a longtime reality series, and a journalist's relationship with RFK 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.120 Junior was exposed. She now says it was part of 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.319 a blackmail scheme by her ex fiance. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.119 And that must be some good olive oil, so good 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.800 that thieves just stole two point five million. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.440 Dollars worth of it. Let's get started this morning on 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.000 our morning run right here in New York. 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.720 Yeah, last night it was a different looking showdown where 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.000 the candidates discussed, you know, issues, and they were kind 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:33.440 of nice to each other. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.400 In the one and only vice presidential debate of the campaign, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.000 Governor Tim Waltz and Senator JD. Vance got into the 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.600 weeds on several issues. They had policy discussions on a 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.680 number of topics, ranging from climate change to abortion to Obamacare. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.560 And the remarkable thing is the two avoided the bickering 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.200 and the back and forth and the personal attacks that 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.000 we so often see plaguing the campaign trail and the 0:01:59.040 --> 0:01:59.760 debate stage. 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.920 So this thing got under way and Waltz had a 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.120 bit of a shaky and a nervous start, clearly, but 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.600 then he did find his footing and he had maybe 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.480 the moment of the night. It was a stark moment 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.960 that we're all going to remember. He simply asked Vance 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:20.160 this question, did Trump lose the twenty twenty election. Vance 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.359 would not give him a direct answer and instead chose 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.680 to turn his attack back to Harris. Waltz then called 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.960 that a damning non answer. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.799 We have to point out, though, as many people have already, 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.520 Vance had a lot of moments and has generally been 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.400 given to high marks for his performance. 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.680 But one of the more. 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:45.440 Contentious moments of the night wasn't between Vance and Waltz. Rather, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.680 it was between Vance and the moderators. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.880 Yeah, and now what has already been and will continue 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.560 to be a much talked about moment of the night, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:57.080 CBS cut the candidate's microphones. At one point, moderator Margaret 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.680 Brennan fact checked Vance during a discussion about Haitian migrants 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.880 in Springfille, Ohio, that, of course has been in the 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.120 news a lot. Well, she fact checked him, and then 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.239 she tried to move on the problem. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.320 CBS made a point to announce that their moderators Brennan 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.720 and Nora O'Donnell would not fact check and instead would 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.919 rely on the candidates to fact check one another. Well, 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.440 Vance was not having it and jumped in saying, Hey, 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.480 the rules were that you weren't going to fact check, 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.160 so since you're fact checking me, I think it's important 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.120 to say what's actually going on. 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.160 Yeah, and then he went on to try to explain 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.800 his answer, and the microphones were cut about twenty seconds 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.480 of him responding this. Of course, robes was a big 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.600 issue in the previous two debates. The first cnnded with 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.360 Trump and Biden. I have to remember there's been different matchups, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.600 and that one the moderators were criticized, say, hey, you 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.840 didn't fact check, you didn't fact check, you didn't do anything. 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.360 And the next one, which was please help. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.720 Me out there with ABC David Mure and Lindsey Davis, 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.600 and that was of course between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.120 who the Democrats had their new and final nominee of 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:10.200 the presidential race, and they too were accused of actually 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.600 fact checking Donald Trump and not fact checking Kamala Harris. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.280 CBS is going to solve that problem. You're not going 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.400 to criticize our moderators. They're just going to step out 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.640 of it. And sure enough they started criticizing or fact 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.039 checking I should say just Vans and a lot of 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.640 people are going to be talking about that. It was 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.400 three on one they argued last night for Vance, but 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:32.800 he still held his own. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.919 And I believe the takeaway of the evening though, was 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.400 just our general excitement. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.080 Shock, yes, but just excitement. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:47.560 And it was lovely to see two politicians actually debating. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.560 The issues and not attacking one another. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.680 You know, even at the end when their spousers came 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.760 out and they were all pleasant to each other, you 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.040 just saw just a warmth and an interaction. They're going 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.480 through something that nobody el Israel and the planet can understand. 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:05.039 To be the VP candidate, the spouses of the VP candidates, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.920 to be up there, it was just a nice moment. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.200 In the Washington Post, their headline in a news alert quote, 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.040 it was a remarkably civil affair that shouldn't be a headline. 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.400 Isn't that a shame? It is that that's a headline 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.600 that these folks were nice to chi. 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.560 Maybe the presidential candidates can learn from their vice presidential candidates. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.520 We can only hope next up on our run. On 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.239 this Wednesday, Iran launched its largest direct attack on Israel ever, 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.680 and so far word is that little damage was done 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.200 and there are no reports of any deaths in that country. 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.080 Yeah, despite Aaran lobbing upwards of two hundred missiles towards 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.040 Israel last night, but Israel, with an assist from the US, 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.480 intercepted most of that barrage with anti missile defenses. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.400 Iran says this was all in retaliation for the recent 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.279 Israeli assassinations of top leaders of those militant groups supported 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.599 by Iran, namely Hamas and Hesbla. Israel is now promising 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.000 there will be consequences for the Iranian attacks. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.479 Yeah, and this is the latest and an escalating situation 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.599 in the Middle East in which Israel has been battling 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.559 the two militant groups. In recent days, we've seen Israel 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.239 launch attacks on the Lebanese capital bay Roup, as well 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.600 as a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon, an area 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.279 where Israel believes is a staging area for Hezbeola to 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.919 launch attacks. Oran, for its part, says Israel, if you 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:28.719 respond to the attacks we just lobbed at you, there 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.400 will be consequences. So both sides are now saying they're 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.840 going to be consequences for the next move that either 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:34.480 side mixed. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.880 Every day the escalation continues. It's unfortunate and the news 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:43.560 is also unfortunate. That continues to pour in surrounding Hurricane Helene. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.440 The death toll in the southeast continues to climb across 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.560 six states in the aftermath of that storm. So far, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.200 at least one hundred and fifty nine people have died, 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.240 and officials are saying that number should rise even more, 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.760 and that's because hundreds of others still missing. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.960 Okay, let's give some context to how many are missing. Here, 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.000 the Red Crossers receive three thousand new requests from people 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.120 looking for family and friends. We have some areas that 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:15.000 are essentially completely cut off from communication, mainly in the Carolinas. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.840 The hope is, even though you do have hundreds of 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.560 people missing right now, hopefully they just haven't been able 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.480 to get in contact with those folks with texts and 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.320 phone calls and so all that stuff is down. So 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.400 we see this in disasters all the time. Hopefully every 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.880 single one of those missing folks just needs to be 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:33.720 get close to a phone. 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.360 So that is certainly the hope, but officials fear that 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.760 that is probably not entirely the case. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:38.960 Now. 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:39.480 Part of the. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.880 Problem, the large part of the problem, are these power 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.480 outage is that usually can go on for days, and 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.000 that's exactly what's happening here. Millions remain in the dark, 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:52.080 and the infrastructure in so many places is completely wiped out. 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.600 Some areas are so inaccessible supplies can only be dropped 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.760 from the air or on mules. Rescue workers and some 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.239 citizens who are looking for family and friends are actually 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:06.280 hiking for hours in treacherous conditions to try and find 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:07.960 and then help their loved ones. 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.440 President Biden will visit North Carolina. Vice President Harris will 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.600 travel to Georgia to take a look at the damage. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.880 Former President Trump was in Georgia earlier this week as well. 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.320 We're going to continue our run here now. And this 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.840 is just unreal when we first heard it. One hundred 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.320 and twenty accusers. That's how many people, a Texas lawyer 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:31.600 says he's representing who have sexual assault allegations against Sean 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.000 Diddy Combs, one hundred and twenty. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.680 He says the allegations go back as far as nineteen 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.160 ninety one, and that at least twenty five of the 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.480 accusers were miners at the time of these alleged assaults, 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:45.839 including one that. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.640 Was nine years old at the time. The attorney says he. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.640 Expects to file a wave of lawsuits very soon across 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.880 several states, and he said we could expect that combs 0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:01.079 enablers and powerful people's dirty secrets will all be exposed. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:05.280 The attorney says, and I quote the names will shock you. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.400 In quote, he's essentially threatening and putting people on notice. 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.120 Even said some of you influential folks, you know who 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.640 you are. I'm giving you a chance to come forward 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.880 before we expose you. Combs, for his part, remains in 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.200 jail in Brooklyn, bail of course, as you know, was 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:25.280 denied denied twice in his federal racketeering and sex trafficking case. 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:30.240 He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.920 one hundred and twenty plus. And these lawsuits, they say, 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.680 are going to stretch over a number of states. It's 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:38.120 just unbelievable to hear that number. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.319 That same attorney said he's had thousands of people contact him. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.000 So perhaps even from his perspective one hundred and twenty 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.720 where those he filtered out. So people are literally coming 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.800 out of the woodwork as they say, they see him 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.480 in jail, and they're now saying, hey, wait, that happened 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.680 to me. This is probably going to continue, folks. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.920 Well, we will continue our run, our morning run here 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.319 and just a moment coming up. We cannot believe that 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.360 we have more mourning to do in the entertainment world. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.720 Welcome back everyone, and next up here on our Morning Run. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.000 We mourn actor John Amos. He has died at the 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.160 age of eighty four, and wow, does he hold a 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:26.800 special place in television history as James Evans Senior on 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.680 Good Times. That was the first show ever that depicted 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.960 a black two parent household. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.120 Yeah, JJ's daddy on that show. But Amos also got 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.400 an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of an older Kuntakinde 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.520 in the miniseries Roots, and a lot of people Robes 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.480 will fondly remain. If you've never seen Good. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.520 Times, that's hard to imagine. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:49.920 But no, watch Roots. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.719 Yes, the younger generations have not. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.679 Never seen it, but some folks got to know him 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.960 and love him because he was Kleo McDowell in coming 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.120 to America that role. He is so memorable as the 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.800 dad who Eddie Murphy was trying to impress. 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.840 Yeah, and if you don't know the name John Amos 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.720 just by reading it, if you google him and you 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.400 see his face, you'll say, oh my gosh, he was 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.120 in everything. His face is iconic and actually in some 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.160 of your favorite movies. I was looking at the list 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.520 and laughing. Yep, one of TJ's favorites. Yep. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:23.400 He loves that one. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.680 Too, and the one die Hard too. I know it 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.040 for I know that movie verbade him almost as you know, 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.200 but he played the good guy who ended up being 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.600 a bad guy in that movie. I didn't know this. 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.160 The Mary Tyler Moish in nineteen seven he played a 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:36.839 weather man. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.840 Yet, now that you say that, and when I read that, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.480 I was like, oh my gosh, yes, I again one 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.080 of those faces where you know you know him, and 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.040 then you start realizing how much you actually know his 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.720 work because he's been in so many iconic television shows 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.280 and movies and he will certainly certainly be missed. Another 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.440 loss in the entertainment world to tell you about. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.280 This has been a hell of a week. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.600 Fritz from the reality show American Pickers died at a 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.920 hospice facility. This followed some complications he had from a 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.240 stroke that he never fully recovered from. 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:10.680 It happened in twenty twenty two. 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.480 Sixty years old. That's a young man these days. And 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.920 I mean, I know what sixty years but these days, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.400 with folks living as long as they are at just 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.520 sixty is a shame. He's been on the show. I 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:26.360 think over a decade. He was surrounded by friends and family, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.520 including his co star on the show, Michael Wolf. This 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.880 is a History Channel program. A lot of you see 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.640 a lot of people like these shows. Right. They traveled 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.840 around to try to find treasures all over the country. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.280 According to friends, there will be a celebration of life 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.920 or Fritz in the spring. It's just going to include 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:43.960 a motorcycle run. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:44.400 That's right. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.520 The History Channel and the American Pickers production company said 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:53.040 this about Fritz. We will always remember the bearded charmer 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.800 and his never ending search for vintage motorcycles and bikes. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.920 Our thoughts are with Frank's loved ones during this difficult time. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.920 He will be deeply missed. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.560 What the hell is going on? Like, I'm scared. We 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.480 were sitting here, I think, at this exact spot, at 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.200 this table, and I said, wait a minute, because I 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.880 just saw Julie Andrew's name trending and I think it 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:13.400 was her birthday. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.520 And you were concerned everything you Sully. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.640 With anybody's name on it. You go, oh my god, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.520 it doesn't matter who, young girl. We've just had a 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.280 weird stretch of the past week. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.120 It feels like. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.760 One of the most tragic weeks in terms of loss 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:31.480 of beloved and iconic entertainers this week, it's just every 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.000 starting last weekend. Really, it feels like it's just been 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.360 a daily dayluge losses. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.480 It's not just entertainers. These are iconic, legendary in some 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.280 cases folks who had no idea what's going on. Hopefully 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.440 it will it will stop, but oh, some incredible losses there. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.840 We do want to continue now on our run this 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.440 morning and go go back to a bizarre story with 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.920 a lot of twists and turns. And now we got 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.040 another one to report here. New York Magazine reporter put 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.440 on leave after the public revelation that she had a 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.680 personal relationship with RFK Junior says this was all part 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.720 of a blackmail scheme by her ex fiance. Olivia Newsy 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.240 is her name. She made the claimant a court filing 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:21.000 against Ryan Liza. He is a reporter for Politico who 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.040 Newsy was once engaged to. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.360 Yes, okay, so we're following so far. 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:31.080 She claims that Newsy explicitly threatened to make sorry she 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.880 let me say this right. Newsy claims that Liza made 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:40.160 explicitly threatened, explicitly threatened to make public personal information about 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.240 me to destroy my life, career and reputation, a threat 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:43.800 he has. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:44.520 Since carried out. 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.360 So she was in court asking a judge to issue 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.280 a no contact order against her ex fiance, Liza, who 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.680 put out a statement saying he emphatically denies those allegations. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.080 Well, he went on to say this, he is saddened 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.400 that she is making up lives to divert attention away 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:06.160 from her own personal and professional failings. Now Liza has 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.920 taken a leb of bapsoms from his job at Political 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.800 This story sparked a lot of debate about journalism ethics, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.080 and Newsy was placed on leave last month after she 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.960 revealed the previously undisclosed relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.720 Who she interviewed while he was an independent candidate for president. 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.080 Now, both Newsy and RFK Juniors say and maintain that 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.960 this relationship was not physical. They just had been calling 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:33.880 it personal. I believe it was text exchanges back and forth, 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.240 and they say it never went further than that. But 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.960 there is another hearing in two weeks where Liza is 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:44.160 expected to respond directly to Newsy's claims. So this story, 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.600 probably unfortunately for RFK Junior and for Newsy, is. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.600 Staying in the public eye. 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.600 Next up on our run someone else who has been 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.080 in the public eye in a way he had not intended. 0:15:56.120 --> 0:16:00.040 Mayor Eric Adams expected back in a federal courthouse this 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.920 morning for a hearing in the criminal case against him. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.200 They remember, he pleaded not guilty to five federal charges 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.200 related to alleged bribery and corruption, accused of accepting over 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.800 one hundred thousand dollars worth of meals, hotels, and flights. 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.520 Just as week as lawyers ask the judges that the 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.360 bribery charge against him be dismissed because what prosecutors are 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.400 alleging doesn't even fit the legal definition of bribery, So 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.200 they're asking for at least one of the five to 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:27.720 be dropped. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.120 And they've also asked the judge to potentially look into 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.040 wrongdoing by the prosecutor's office, saying they leaked information to 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.240 the press about the investigation. And throughout all of this, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.920 Mayor Adams has said he has no plans to step 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.800 down from office while this is all being litigated. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.840 And even though Governor Hukel I think she's finally come 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.120 out and said that she has no intention, that doesn't 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.240 appear right now of stepping in even though she has 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.040 the power to remove Adams from office. And you and 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.040 I Robed, we live in this area. We live right 0:16:56.080 --> 0:17:00.280 here downtown by City Hall, and it is literally a 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.760 five minute walk from City Hall to the Federal Courthouse 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.040 on Worth and Baxter. It's all he has to do. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.000 So it's weird that a lot of people take a 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.320 walk outside. There's a park right there, and he can 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.159 just walk out of the office today and take a 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:13.760 little stroll over to the federal courthouse. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.479 Yes, and we've also seen the live trucks lined up 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.600 from all the news outlets. Who will be following him 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.840 on that said walk If that's how he chooses to 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.560 get to the courthouse today, you think. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.560 You will, we shall see. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.840 In fact, we have a front row seats. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.960 We are going to wrap the run with this. Police 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.480 in Texas trying to find thieves that pulled off a 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.360 two and a half million dollar heist. But they did 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.680 not steal cash. No, no, no, no. These thieves got 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.000 away with millions of dollars in olive oil. 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:47.800 That's a head scratcher. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.080 Well, this happened at a warehouse in Houston and involved 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.679 truckloads of premium olive oil made by Tara Delisa, a 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.440 company out of Tunisia. About seven hundred bottles were taken, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.760 and according to the company, some of those bottles have 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.560 already been tracked down at stores being sold at extreme discounts. 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.520 Any of them in New York. This is supposed to 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.440 be some really good olive oil. They have won awards 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.239 all over the world. But what we're talking about here, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.840 we kind of scratched our heads about it. But this 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.479 has been an issue for years, issue with folks trying 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:25.479 to steal olive oil, mainly because of drought conditions in Spain, 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.840 where a majority of the world's olive oil comes. 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.840 From, and they haven't been able to produce as much 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.240 olive oil, which has driven up the prices and made 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.080 olive trees and olive oil more expensive and then of. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.480 Course of more value to thieves. Did I read this right? 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.680 Olive oil became the most shoplifted item in Spain's supermarkets, 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.440 and thieves even go so far as to chop down 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:50.080 olive trees. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.199 They will go, they'll sometimes they'll takes time to do it, 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.280 but they'll uproot and take the whole tree. Sometimes they 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.040 just cut off a few branches, and can take the 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.040 olives and sell the olives, but they also can do 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.959 something with the wood. This is a this is a 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.400 commodity now on an illegal market, that it's so expensive 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:10.320 that people are stealing it. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.600 Well, I know, Tara Delisa, the type of olive oil 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.239 that was stolen, will you and I immediately googled it. 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:18.679 I found it on Amazon already. 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:20.440 If this stuff is so good that people are stealing it, 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.520 maybe this is the best kind of marketing or advertisement 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.399 they could possibly have. Wow, how wonderful their brand is, 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.560 because I'm probably going to buy a bottle and see 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:29.960 what all the fuss is about. 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.919 Our stuff is so good people are stealing millions of 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:34.600 dollars over. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.560 And then let me get sucked. Wow, that's what my 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.320 brain went, right. I love olive oil. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.600 I didn't cross my mind. Would you make a good point? 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:45.320 Maybe the company stage that I'm kidding. I am just kidding. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.080 That is not the case, but that if you see 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.920 any of this olive oil that's fifty percent off or 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.040 seventy five percent off, which they say is going for you. 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.560 Know where it came from exactly. 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.800 All right, Well, we are going to leave you as 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.000 we started to do yesterday with a quote, and we 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.399 pulled this one again from the big Manila folder that 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.000 TJ has carried around with him. 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.520 He used to put these sayings. 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.040 On his door once a week, on his dressing room door, 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.000 and everyone loved them, and so we're going to share 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:12.640 them with. 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.520 You throughout the week. 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:19.520 Today's quote the proper function of man is to live, 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.280 not to exist. I shall not waste my days in 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:24.520 trying to prolong them. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:26.600 I shall use my time. 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:30.800 That quote from Jack London, a journalist and author of 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:32.320
