WEBVTT - Morning Run: Tariffs Pausing, Tensions Thawing, Newsom Shocking, Layoffs Rising and Space Debris Falling 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:06.200 Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone, 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:09.479 and welcome to Morning Run. It's Friday, March seventh. 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.200 I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. And on this 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.160 Friday Morning Run, several House Democrats joined Republicans in censuring 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.919 a member of their own party. Meantime, that member is 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.520 busy drawing up articles of impeachment for the. 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.919 President a week after that now infamous Oval office drama, 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:29.920 a sign of thawing tensions between the US and Ukraine. Plus, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.320 President Trump sure likes that pause button, pushing back tariffs 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.120 on our northern and southern neighbors for another month. 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.080 Also, the news is so positive out of Rome today 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.519 the Vatican is skipping an update after we finally hear 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.479 directly from the Pope. Also, the Governor of California shocks 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.239 Democrats with his stance on transgender women in sports. 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.720 When the clock strikes six pm tonight, South Carolina will 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.120 do something it's never done before, execute a death row 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.400 inmate by firing squads. Match the headlines. February saw the 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.880 highest number of layoffs in this country in twenty five years, 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.160 and no surprise here, Doge is leading the way. 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.280 Also, this morning. A game changer in women's tennis. They're 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.800 all eligible for twelve month maternity leave. Do you care 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.000 that Saudi Arabia is paying for it? Also back to 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.039 back bust for SpaceX. Another test flight fails in dramatic 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.360 and fiery fashion. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.400 And another disturbing development in the ongoing measles outbreak, an 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.920 infected adult has died. Plus a press conference has been 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.480 scheduled for today about the death of Oscar winner Gene 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.759 Hackman and his wife. What do investigators have to tell us? 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.280 There has been so much mystery. People have their theories, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:43.959 but no. 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.240 One really knows for sure what happened to those two. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.720 Yeah, and investigators they planned this. They are getting everybody together, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.840 from the health officials, from the police officials, all at once. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.120 They seem like they have something to say today. But 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.440 we have a jam packed kind of morning run today. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.160 We're going to get the through it. We have to 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.000 ask for your patients with us. If you've already could 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.520 tell it was a late night. We've been fumbling around 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.320 a couple of words here, but it was because we 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.440 went to a wonderful The Sole premiere here in New 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.160 York last night. It was a wonderful night, but it 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.400 was a late night, and truth be told, we actually 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.399 had the wrong date. Even in the rundown I said 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:19.239 it was March sixth. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:20.760 You caught it right before we went on the air, 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.800 so bear with us everyone, But here we go. We 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.120 were on Randall's Island, so you know, that was the 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:27.920 first for us, and it was really fun. It was 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.200 a beautiful event. If anyone gets a chance to go 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.600 out and see served Disilay, we highly recommend. 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:34.560 We are going to begin our run. 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:34.799 Though. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.840 With diplomacy on the horizon, it appears tensions have finally 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.280 eased between the US and Ukraine. Exactly one week after 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.079 that contentious Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President Zelenski. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.720 Last Friday, US and Ukrainian officials are setting up a 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.080 meeting next week in Saudi Arabia to discuss the framework 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.799 for a ceasefire with Russia. President Trump's special envoy told 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.519 reporters that the White House is in discussions to coordinate 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.040 with the Ranians in riod Or potentially Jetta for a 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.080 peace agreement and an initial ceasefire. Both President Trump and 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.320 President Zelenski confirmed the meeting. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:09.919 Earlier this week. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.800 Zelenski went on social media to express regret for what 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.160 happened in the Oval Office and gratitude for American aid 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.520 with their war efforts. Zelenski's remarks came after Trump paused 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.920 financial and military assistance earlier this week. But the US 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.280 then upped its pressure on Ukraine to come to the 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.679 table by ending our intelligence sharing with them. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.040 Yeah. Then the experts out there will tell you that 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.320 the suspension of intelligence was the biggest blow to Ukraine 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.680 because it disrupts the country's ability to track and target 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.760 Russian troops, tanks, and ships, and of course that also 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.880 allows them to give their own citizens heads up about attacks. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.760 So it was a big deal for that US intelligence 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.280 to go away. Ukraine's other allies simply cannot provide the 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.800 same type of intelligence that the US can. So the 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.160 ball is getting rolling. Keeping People criticized the moves that 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.520 Trump was making, but the moves of I haven't heard 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.040 the ball rolling this much on peace talks in three years. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.760 It's pretty remarkable what's been accomplished in one week. There 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.640 have been a lot of back and forth, but you 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.480 know what, if the end result is peace, we'll take 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.120 it next up on our run. That call between President 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.279 Trump and President Shinbaum of Mexico. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.080 Well, it must have gone pretty well. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.400 Because after that call, President Trump announced he would be 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.080 delaying tariffs on Mexico and Canada by at least one month. 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.560 Yeah, the new twenty five percent tariffs announced earlier this 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.200 week would apply to a lot of goods coming into 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.440 the US from our neighbors to the north and south. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.719 The announcement of those tariffs caused stock markets to tank 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.920 earlier this week, but there was hope that something could 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.680 be worked out. So right now there's a temporary reprieve 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.120 and the tariffs are set to go into effect on 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:45.840 April second. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.200 Now, President Trump wrote this on social media. I did 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.760 this as an accommodation and out of respect for President Shinbaum. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.000 Our relationship has been a very good one, and we 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.920 are working hard together on the border, both in terms 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.640 of stopping illegal aliens from entering the United States and 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.960 likewise stopping fentanyl. Thank you to President Shinbaum for your 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.760 hard work and cooperation. It's incredible Shinbaum was able to 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.400 do more than Trudeau was because he had a call 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.120 with Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, the day before, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:16.599 and there was no pause. 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:21.640 Then I read through President Trump's social media posts that 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.760 you just read, and I kept going line by line. 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.560 I'm waiting for it. I'm waiting for it, and it 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.719 never came. You were waiting on him to in some 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:33.000 way blow up at somebody. He was complimentary publicly on 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.040 this forum. I thank her for her hard work and 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.520 cooperation we've had. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.560 This is the tone was amazing, rare compliments. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.039 That was awesome in my opinion. So we'll continue on 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.560 the run this morning. Ten Democrats are well. They are 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.800 fielding a lot of criticism right now for joining House Republicans. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.840 What did they join them in doing? Censuring Representative Al 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.080 Green for his behavior during President Trump's addressed to Congress. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.280 Seventy seven year old dimmer Green not only disrupted Trump's speech, 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.640 shouting and shaking his cane at the president, but then 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.560 he refused to sit down and shut up. 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:08.400 It's one way to put it. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.880 Speaker Mike Johnson eventually had security physically removed Green from 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.839 the chamber. House Democratic leaders have asked members not to protest. 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.520 They were asking them to show restraint during the president's speech. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.560 They didn't want anyone point of the finger back at them. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.040 So this vote demonstrates the division within the party over 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.640 how some members conducted themselves that night. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.360 So a censor, what does that mean? Not a whole lot. 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.440 It's you publicly being slapped on the hand. I suppose 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.360 no real penalty beyond the public reprimand of Following the vogue, 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.200 Green took to the house floor and said, friends, I 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.080 would do it again. 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.440 Not shocking after we saw what he did during the address. 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.640 He actually called himself a proud liberated democrat, unbought, unbossed, 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.240 and unafraid, he said. Green also announced that he will 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.400 be seeking articles of impeachment against President Trump. So he's 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.960 going to be busy continuing his agenda. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.080 All right, continuing our run this morning, There was a 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:05.559 huge jump in job cuts last month in the US. 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.920 How huge We're talking about a two hundred and forty 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.640 five percent increase in layoffs. 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:16.320 In February, employers cut one hundred and seventy two seventeen jobs. 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.280 That is the highest number of layoffs we've seen in 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:24.440 one month since two thousand. These are recession level layoff numbers. 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:25.880 So what exactly is happening? 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.000 In a word, doged The job losses are being driven 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:34.000 by as Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency. Yes, being 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.520 run by Elon Musk. It has gone on a firing 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.320 spree since Trump came back to office. So sixty two 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.880 thousand plus of those layoffs are in the federal workforce. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.560 It's really driving these numbers. Again, I say a firing spree, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.800 but Trump sees this. President Trump sees this as a 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.920 way to shrink government and save money. And it is 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.920 showing up in at least job loss numbers in the 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.280 latest data that we are getting. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.800 Yeah, efficiency is a positive spin for absolutely shrinking. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.560 The federal workforce. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.640 Next up on the run, let's go to California, where 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.760 Governor Gavin Newsom is making some major waves within his 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.560 own party. Newsom was speaking with a thirty one year 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.520 old right wing influencer in his podcast when he agreed 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.960 with his guest that allowing transgender women to compete in 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.640 women's sports was unfair, and. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.400 Then you could almost hear a Democratic record scratch. At 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.160 that point, the governor said, I think it's an issue 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.400 of fairness. I completely agree with you on that it's 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.600 deeply unfair. Those are Newsom's words. He also said that 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.200 signature Trump campaign commercial that announced Kamala is for they 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.880 them President Trump is for you. Well, he said, a 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.280 lot of people agree. That was just a devastating and 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.400 really effective ad. He added that Kamala Harris didn't even 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.400 react to it, which was even more devastating. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.600 Newsom's comments shocked many Democrats after his widely known decades 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:58.160 long support for LGBTQ causes. I'm sure all of us. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.440 I can picture it right now, those pictures of Newsom 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.559 officiating same sex weddings. He was one of the first 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.960 politicians in this country to do that. Many believe Newsom 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.480 has presidential ambitions for twenty twenty eight. That's something he 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.439 joked about as well on his podcast. 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.120 They believe he has okay, ok oh. There was a 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.240 New York Times yps hiss pull back in January found 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.080 that nearly eighty percent of Americans, that includes two thirds 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.920 of Democrats, believe that transgender women should not compete in 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.240 women's sports. This will be a big issue. And you 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.400 have somebody this high profile who yes think they actually 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.319 think he has a path to the nomination. He's he's 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.120 been setting this up for twenty years almost. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.400 He's trying to modernize the Democratic Party, and he's got 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:41.240 a new podcast. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.240 This is Gavin Newsom. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.480 This was his debut episode, so we will be hearing 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.480 a lot more from Gavin Newsom. I'm sure he'll That's 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.839 a perfect vehicle for him to make all the headlines. 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:51.920 He wants their needs all right. Next up on the Run, 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.080 some very positive news out of Rome. Today, the Pope 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:59.080 made his first public comments since he was hospitalized three 0:09:59.120 --> 0:09:59.600 weeks ago. 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.439 This was great to hear. He recorded a statement thanking 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.680 the public for their prayers, and his message was played 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.840 at the nightly vigil in Saint Peter's Square. The Pope said, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.120 I thank you from the bottom of my heart for 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.960 your prayers for my health. From the square, I can't 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.880 I accompany you from here. May God bless you and 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:18.960 the Vision protect you. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.280 Thank you, and people said his voice sounded a little raspy, 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.439 a little soft, but that, would you know, be very understandable. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.080 Given his three weeks in the hospital. Pot Francis has 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.280 remained in stable condition compared to previous days, according to 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.959 the Vatican, and so much so the Vatican said it's 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.240 not going to provide another medical update on the Pope 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.880 until Saturday. Normally we wake up in the morning and 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.079 we get another update. They said, that's not going to happen. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:46.080 It's unnecessary. However, his doctors are still maintaining that the 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.280 Pope's prognosis is reserved. 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.600 Without a doubt. The best update is that we are 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.000 not giving you an update. That's wonderful. There's nothing to 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.560 tell you, and that's that's great. If this guy gets out, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:58.600 he gets out of the hospital. We got to go 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.760 back to Rome. We will get You're here on the run. 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.960 This morning, we had to head over to South Carolina. 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.679 We mentioned this yesterday, but today is the day. In particularly, 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.840 six o'clock Eastern is the time. Tonight, the South Carolina 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.160 man will be the first inmate in that state to 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.560 be strapped into a chair, have a target placed over 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:20.679 his heart, and then three volunteers will simultaneously fire bullets 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.840 into his chest. A firing squad. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.320 Right, yeah, and unless the governor or the Supreme Court 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.840 grants him a last minute reprieve, sixty seven year old 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.000 Brad Sigmund will be the first person to die by 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.520 firing squad in this country since twenty ten. Siegmund has 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.040 been on death row for the past twenty three years 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.800 after he admitted to brutally killing his ex girlfriend's parents 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:41.920 with a baseball bat. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:42.840 After she broke up with. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.720 Him and refused to get back together, he actually kidnapped 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.760 her that night, shot at her and thankfully missed. 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.840 This was a gruesome and like horrible, horrible. 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.440 Crist right that I read this right. He admitted he 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.120 was planning to kill her as well. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.120 Yeah, he was planning to kill her and then himself. 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.000 He said, if if I can't have her, nobody can. 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:03.840 That classic statement. He actually said that. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.559 All right, So this isn't one of those cases where 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:11.400 there's a question of innocence. Instead, his attorneys are saying, here, yes, 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.880 he is choosing to die, and he's choosing the firing 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:17.000 squad because he didn't trust the other methods, which were 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.480 lethal injection and the electric chair. So tonight, Sigmund's lawyer, family, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.800 members of the victims, three reporters will watch from behind 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.440 a glass that had to be recently upgraded to be bulletproof. 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.800 The shooters will be fifteen feet from Sigmund. That's the length, 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.280 just to give you perspective, from the backboard to the 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.040 free thrill line on a basketball court. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.000 The entire process should take five minutes. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:39.920 They say that's a quarter of the time it takes 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.560 for an inmate to die by lethal injection, so this 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.560 will be quick, but certainly this is going to be 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.960 a first, and it's if history is any indication, the 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.720 South Carolina governor has not granted clemency to a prisoner 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:58.040 since nineteen seventy sorry excuse me for execution, since the 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.920 death penalties since it was reinstated in nighte teen seventy six, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.480 So it's highly unlikely given all of those reasons. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.400 Folks, Well stay with us here on this morning run 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.199 when we come back. An actual update expected today from 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.400 authorities on the death of Gene Hackman. Also a disturbing 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.200 update about that measles outbreak. Also, air travelers got a 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.520 disturbing update for you as well, watch out for space debris. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:28.520 And one of the most momentous changes in women's sports 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:40.319 was just announced yesterday and it is a break one. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.000 We continue now on our Friday morning run, and we 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.720 could get more answers today In the mystery surrounding the 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.400 death of Gene Hackman and his wife, investigators have scheduled 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.199 a press conference for this afternoon in New Mexico. 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.480 Hackman and his wife were discovered dead on February twenty 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.160 six at their Santa Fe home. The sheriff said no 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:03.040 foul play was suspected. Investigators ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.000 and there were no signs of physical trauma. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.640 Name I remember, Hackman was found in an entry way 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.360 to his home. His wife was found in the bathroom 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.640 with an open prescription bottle and spilled pills near her. 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.040 Sheriff said they could have been dead for up to 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.280 two weeks before they were discovered. Again, we remember they 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.000 It's a horrific detail, but it lets us know they 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.840 had been there a while. The said they were signs 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:31.200 of mummification of the bodies. Hackman's pacemaker it had recorded info. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.480 The last time was February seventeenth, and they were found 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.880 on February twenty sixth. So again they scheduled this one. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.440 They said, we have something to say, so we could 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:42.120 get some MANswers. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.120 I think a lot of people are hoping to get some, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.720 certainly in that mystery. Next up on our run, a 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.800 person infected with measles has died in New Mexico. This 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.480 is the latest sad and very troubling development in the 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.040 ongoing measles outbreak. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:59.080 Authority say this was an unvaccinated adult, and this person 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.560 had not salt prior medical attention. And though they've confirmed 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.560 the person was infected with measles, they haven't confirmed in 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.680 fact that it was the measles that caused the death. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.360 They are looking into that this person was in a 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.760 county in New Mexico that borders the West Texas county 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.560 at the center of the current measles outbreak. 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.360 So far, at least one hundred and fifty nine cases 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.360 have been confirmed in Texas, mostly in unvaccinated children, and 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.920 one school aged child you remember, died last month, marking 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.880 the first measles death in this country in ten years. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.000 And there are ten cases confirmed in New Mexico. So 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.000 we're seeing in neighboring states or bordering areas from this 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:38.120 area in South Texas. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.320 That's not what you want for to start spreading to 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.040 other areas. We'll keep an eye on that one. Also 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.880 next up on the run something for you air travelers. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.000 It seems that air travelers these days have enough problems 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.480 with air travel without also now having to worry about 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.520 falling space debris. 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.560 But the FAA stopped flights from several Florida airports yesterday 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.240 for nicely that reason after another SpaceX flight did not 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.880 go as planned, and by didn't go as planned, we 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.880 actually mean a spacecraft came back to Earth in a 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.160 bunch of fiery pieces. 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:12.600 Okay, this was the eighth uncrewed test flight of the 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.920 enormous SpaceX starship. So this is the way you're supposed 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.120 to work the spacecraft. The little capsule that the crew 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:20.960 would have been in is attached to the top of 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.960 a powerful rocket. The two blast off together, then they 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.920 separate not long after takeoff. From there, the rocket is 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.359 softly guided back to Earth, and then the spacecraft continues 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:32.160 on to space. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.560 Everything happened except that last part. The spacecraft did not 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.440 continue onto space. Instead, its engines started giving out minutes 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.800 into the flight, and the craft started spinning out of 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.600 control back to Earth, eventually breaking up into pieces of 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.120 debris that could be seen streaking across the sky. If 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.880 you want to see it, it's everywhere online. It was 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.720 officially called a rapid unscheduled disassembly. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.040 That's as accurate as you can get in the description. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:03.280 But get this. Air travelers, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Orlando airports, 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:09.320 they were all impacted because, yes, the FAA stopped flights 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:10.040 for a while. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.760 I can understand why stopped fiery pieces of debris falling 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:14.359 from the sky. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:15.520 I don't want to be flying. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:18.920 But again, all the air airplane, our airline stories we've 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.320 been seeing over the past several weeks until now, Hey, 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.199 you gotta worry about space debris. Now you look out 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.600 the window. So if any of the story that we're 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:29.119 talking about this rocket test not going well, if it 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.080 sounds familiar, it's because the exact same thing happened in 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.720 the last test flight, which was in January, that spacecraft 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.480 actually did explode. The flight director said yesterday, we have 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:39.800 some practice at this now. 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.919 Let's so practice makes perfect, all right for the final 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.439 leg of our run on this Friday. A first, if 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.200 it's kind, and game changing move in women's sports, women 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.480 playing on the Professional Tennis Tour are now eligible for 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:53.880 paid maternity lead. 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.720 I love this story. You know, this is just a 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.440 cool story that shows that we are moving in a 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.760 particular direction. So this is cool. The WTA Women's Tennis 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:07.120 Association made this announcement yesterday. About three hundred and twenty 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.439 professional women's players on this tour are now eligible to 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:14.960 receive twelve months of paid leave now. They did not 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.640 announce exactly how much the players are going to get 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.639 with the WTA said each player would get the same amount, 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.200 despite their ranking and how many years on tour and 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:24.560 all this, they get the same amountment. 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:25.040 That's great. 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.639 The WTA says this is the first time in women's 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:31.919 sports history that comprehensive maternity benefits are available to independent, 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.919 self employed athletes. The program will also offer months for 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:40.120 players fertility and IVF treatments, and the WTA says, by 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:44.640 the way, there are right now twenty five moms on tour, but. 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:49.800 Consider some of these moms. Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Caroline Wozniaki, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.199 and other Grand Slam winning top players have returned to 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.200 the tour in recent years after having kids. Of course, 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.639 this costs money to put up a fund like this, 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:05.240 says the money is coming from Robes Saudi Arabia, which is. 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.919 So interesting given their history with women's rights. The Saudi 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.600 Arabia Public Investment Fund is a global sponsor for the WTA, 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.000 which said the maternity lead policy would not be possible 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:19.280 without that Saudi money. Some high profile stars criticized WTA's 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.560 partnership with Saudi Arabia in the past for what I 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.560 just mentioned, citing the country's record on women's rights. You know, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.600 this is an incredible move forward. It is tough though, 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:31.639 when you find out where the money is coming from. 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:33.359 Well, this is one of those I mean, do you 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.080 know what some of the criticism, yes, women's rights, but 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.520 now new criticism is that there's a big tournament that 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.280 they do a women's tournament there, and now this people 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.600 think they're trying to buy their way into a better 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.080 image by sponsoring women's events. By now, this is huge. 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.920 I'm all for that, as long as they mirror that 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.000 effort with what they're doing with women's rights within their 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:55.520 own country. 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.120 They didn't come with that promise just right now take 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.240 the maternity lead. But this is great for young player 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.359 who aren't big money makers and who are having to decide, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.000 you know, I can't have a baby yet because I 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:05.880 have to keep playing. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:08.280 This is great, one hundred percent, and that is huge. 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.680
