00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: January nineteenth. I'm Amy Robot. But it's not just any Monday.

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, sorry, yeah, not just any Monday.

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: It is Robert E. Lee Day. Stop there, folks, stop,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm TJ. Holmes. Welcome to this Monday Morning Run. Yes,

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: happy Robert E. Lee Day in Mississippi and Alabama. Yes, folks,

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: on this federal holiday of Martin Luther King Day, there

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: are two states that recognize Robert E. Lee Day on

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: the same day as MLK Day, and that is in

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: Alabama in Mississippi. The more you know, just wanted to

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: throw out those facts.

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, I don't know that. I

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: wanted to know that. But information is power.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: But I hear not. Let's recognize that. Yes, in this

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: country still today, there are two states who actively openly

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: choose to honor a Confederate general on the same day

18
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: that the federal government has said that MLK should be honored. Yes,

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: So happy Robert E. Lee Day out there to your folks.

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: The post office is closed, your banks closed, your schools

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: are closed because it's a federal holiday. Yes, MLK Day, Yes,

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: it's This is one of the few is it the

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: only federal holiday we have robes that is supposed to

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: be an active day? This is a day of service.

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: They call it a day on instead of a day off.

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: You're supposed to work today.

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: I love that.

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: And this is actually today, correct Martin Luther King Junior's

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: actual birthday January nineteenth. It doesn't always work out that way.

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: That would make sense because it is the third Monday

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: in January each and every year. But it is cool

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: that today falls on his actual birthday.

33
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: Yes, but he would have been ninety seven. Oh my god, right,

34
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: it would have been ninety seven today. But this goes

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: back to nineteen eighty three. It was in fact Ronald

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: Reagan who signed in the King Holiday Bill. Now, even

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: though he signed it in nineteen eighty three, a lot

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: of states didn't get on board and start recognizing it

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 2: for another seventeen years, the last of them being Arizona. Congratulations,

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: great state of Arizona, the Arizona. If you remember this,

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: you will. They lost the super Bowl over this. The

42
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: super Bowl was supposed to be out there and they

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: refused to honor MLK Day. They lost so much revenue

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: because of it. Yeah, they were the last state to

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: actually adopt and recognize.

46
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: What I did not know that I'm learning a lot

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: ninety three, ninety four. I was old enough to know

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: that that was the thing, and I don't remember that

49
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: or recall that.

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: And then you have some states like New Hampshire was

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: the last to do it, but they called it Civil

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: Rights Day. They just refused to call it MLK Day.

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: This is just a part of it, and this is

54
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: who we are and this is where we are. But

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: it's good to recognize it absolutely MLKA, this MLKA that

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: there are a lot of places who still are doing

57
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: these things.

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: There are people who are my age, our age who

59
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: didn't and do not know that history. We were not

60
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't pointed out, and it certainly wasn't taught. But

61
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: think about all the kids who wake up and today

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: assume that this was just an obvious thing that we've

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: been doing ever since he was assassinated to honor him.

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: And actually the struggle has been real and elongated unnecessarily

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: so just when it comes to this day, I'm not

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: even I'm not implying that it's over or that we

67
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: don't have far to go. We made it no, I yeah,

68
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: I just want to make that clear. I'm specifically talking

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: about it being MLKA Junior Day.

70
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: Another nugget, folks to take with you that, yes, this

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: holiday was proposed days after he was assassinated in nineteen

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: sixty eight. Took them fifteen years to get it approved

73
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: and then another seventeen to get every state on board.

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: How long did it take Trump to get his name

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: on the building of the Kennedy Center night just wanted

76
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: to point out that comparison.

77
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: That's all wherever you may be, Hope you have a

78
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: good one, folks, But yes, remember some of that history.

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: It is MLK Day. Hopefully you keep in mind this

80
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: is a day of service, so spend the day on

81
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: instead of off. We are spending the day certainly working here,

82
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: but we'll be active in a very cold, cold New York.

83
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: But the Northeast and a lot of places are in

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: some frigid, dangerous temperature drops right now.

85
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: Yes, and the lead story all morning long and the

86
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: local affiliates have been black ice because yes, it's slippery,

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: it's dangerous. It's some scary stuff there after the snow fell.

88
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Now the temperatures are dropping. I think I'm hearing polar

89
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: vortex now being used by meteorologists again, so yay, I

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of think I prefer the heat dome, just saying.

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: Oh, whatever you are, however the weather is treating you,

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: we appreciate you going along for a run with us

93
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: this morning. The run this morning will take us to

94
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: a number of places. It'll take us to Europe. It'll

95
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: take us in particular to London. It'll take us to Alaska,

96
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: it will take us to Spain. We'll also have a

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: leg of the run that'll take us to Melbourne today,

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: one of your favorite spot in Melbourne where some history

99
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: was made and pretty cool history was made down there.

100
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 2: But we have to start this morning, like I said,

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: in europe robes where European leaders, this is fairly rare.

102
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: They're used to kissing the ring. But they have come

103
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: together now to push back on Trump, who is trying

104
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: to take Greenland.

105
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: That's right.

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: They are standing up to President Trump and that specific

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: threat to impose tariffs on Many of these European countries

108
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: are allies, we should point out if they don't support

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: his effort to purchase Greenland.

110
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: So they actually had a summit on Sunday.

111
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: They say they're in full solidarity with Denmark and Greenland,

112
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: so not coming on board Trump's train to take over Greenland.

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: And yes, the threat to get specific.

114
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Trump has threatened that there will be a ten percent

115
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: tariff on all goods coming from eight European countries, our allies.

116
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Once again, we're talking Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the

117
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland. So there will be

118
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: a ten percent tariff on February first and a twenty

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: five percent tariff by June first.

120
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: If they're still not on board, yeah, and.

121
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: They are pushing back and it doesn't sound like they're

122
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: going to be on board at all. Put out a

123
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: joint statement. All eight of these countries put out a

124
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: joint statement saying, quote, and this is engaging in a

125
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: dialogue based on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

126
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: You hear that this is what the dialogue should be,

127
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: based on principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, that we

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: stand firmly behind. They go on to say, tariff threats

129
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. We

130
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: have seen as well, the people of Greenland seeing some protests,

131
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: some rallies over there that a quarter of the population

132
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: of Greenland showed up, not a lot of people, but

133
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: still most of them showed up, and it was cool.

134
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: They've shown some hats, red hats over there.

135
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: They have Maga hats. The MAGA just stands for something else,

136
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 3: make America go away.

137
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, the latest report I saw is

138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: that they are sold out in Denmark. These are hot,

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: hot items and now everyone wants the Trump hat, the

140
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Trump Maga hat, just with their acronym.

141
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: You know that's gonna catch on around the world.

142
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: America go away.

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Those hats are going okay, sorry, whoever, look, I thought

144
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: make America Great Again was a good slogan. It's worked.

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: Maga knock yourself out, easy to digest. Make America go

146
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: away works. It sucks and I hate that and that's

147
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: what people think of us. But that one's gonna catch

148
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: on ropes. I want to continue on the road on

149
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: the run here now and also kind of Greenland adjacent

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: type story here, Butes. You hate to see this because

151
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: America is as a place all over the world in

152
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: pop culture and yes, in sports and Vanessa Williams was

153
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: singing the national anthem at the London NBA game. NFL

154
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: has done this, NBA does this too. They start to

155
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: have these featured.

156
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: Games and yeah, why did we go to this run?

157
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: That was good? I missed Wait, you.

158
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Dropped the ball on this one, babe, because I would

159
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: have been on board Memphis.

160
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: You love Memphis, I love my folks and Memphis. But yes,

161
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Memphis Orlando had a game feature game in London. Williams

162
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: singing the national anthem in London, and sure enough, at

163
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: one point in the middle of her song, someone while

164
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: it's quiet in there, screams out, leave Greenland alone. And

165
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: your heart hurts for her. Your heart hurts as an

166
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: American that this is what people are thinking of us.

167
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: But there was laughter and applause in the crowd that

168
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: she was doing this. This was the part where that

169
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: our flag was to She's holding that last note. Somebody

170
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: screams out, leave Greenland alone, and sure enough there was

171
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: laughter and applause. And that just sucks.

172
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: It's tough because well, Vanessa Williams, huge fan, total pro

173
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: and it was written about that she did not miss

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: a beat, she did not react.

175
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: She's true professional was able to keep singing.

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: That song is probably the hardest, one of the hardest,

177
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: if not the hardest songs to sing. You sing it

178
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: a cappella a lot of times, but you are you know,

179
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure.

180
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: Everyone's waiting for you to.

181
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Mess up, forget the words, get off tune, and to

182
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: have anyone throw your concentration is top. But I have

183
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: to give her total credit. She handled herself so well.

184
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: That is a tough position to be in and not

185
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: of her own making. You know, she has nothing to

186
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: do with this. Most of many of Americans disagree with this,

187
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: if you look at the latest polls, and yet we're

188
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: all subject to, yes, the reaction from the world.

189
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: I hate this for them because it's happened that the

190
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Olympics and other places whereas where you don't have an

191
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 2: American crowd, you don't have Americans actually there. So yeah,

192
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: we've been plenty of places and seeing the national anthem

193
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: not received well when it's not an American crowd before. So,

194
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: but good job, more power to her for getting that done.

195
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: We'll continue here on this Monday morning run another potential

196
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: escalation in Minneapolis to tell you about. Here the Pentagon

197
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: reportedly has now put fifteen hundred active duty soldiers on

198
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: standby for possible deployment to Minneapolis. Word of that comes

199
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: after the President Trump warned once again he is considering

200
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: using the Interaction Act, an old law that would allow

201
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: the president to essentially put federal troops on the ground

202
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: to bring down an insurrection if you will. He has

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 2: threatened to use that he has not done. He did

204
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: back away from that threat a little bit, but still

205
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: coupled with that threat, the thought that fifteen hundred troops

206
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: have been told to get ready in a while for deployment. Yeah,

207
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: can't that be to Afghanistan or to somewhere else. Deployment

208
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: too many happens.

209
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: That's such a good point.

210
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: And like, yes, right at the beginning of this long

211
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: national holiday weekend, they were told, no, don't go hang

212
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: out with your family or friends or do whatever people

213
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: do on a long holiday weekend. No return to the base,

214
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: because you may be deployed. And that came with word

215
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: from We've heard from Minnesota Governor Tim Wald saying that

216
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: they have the National Guard, the Minnesota National Guard on

217
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: standby as well. So there was a potential showdown between

218
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: federal troops and state troops. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

219
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: But already there have been three thousand arrests in that state.

220
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: About one hundred and fifty of those arrest were US citizens,

221
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: and there is unfortunately more to.

222
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: Come from Minneapolis. We will stay on top of it.

223
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: But next up on the run right now, we go

224
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: to Spain where the latest numbers and unfortunately these are

225
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: likely to rise.

226
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: There are so far.

227
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: Thirty nine known dead in a high speed train crash

228
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: that happened in Spain. It was two trains. One was

229
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: traveling from Mulaga to Madrid and derailed and then went

230
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: into the path of an oncoming train. This track was

231
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: recently refurbished, it was a newer train. But they the

232
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: word coming from the scene there in Spain is just

233
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: terrific that bodies were found hundreds of feet away from

234
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: the actual collision. They believe there may be people buried

235
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: under some of the wreckage. There is still recovery efforts

236
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: going on. There are I believe the latest cost was

237
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: seventy three and people in the hospital twenty four in

238
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: serious condition.

239
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: So this is an evolving story that we will keep

240
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: our eye on.

241
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this

242
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: Monday morning run. When we come back, Avatar keeps doing

243
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: his thing at the box office. But history made by

244
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: Zootopia two will explain. Also, history made by Venus Williams

245
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: after she loses a Madur will explain that as well.

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: And we have the final four in the NFL, the

247
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos among them. However, they just lost their quarterbacks.

248
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: There we continue here on this Monday MLK run with

249
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: Avatar three, or as other people like to call it, Avatar,

250
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: Fire and Ash. It keeps doing its thing. Fifth week

251
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: out of the box office, it was number one once again,

252
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 2: so five straight weeks. It did get a little competition

253
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: from the new twenty eight years later movie that ended

254
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: number two. It had thirteen million, but Fire and Ash

255
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: ended up number one, and now it's taken in one

256
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: point three billion dollars worldwide. The other thing here of

257
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: note is that Zootopia Too is now the highest growing

258
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: grossing animated movie of all time.

259
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: That is incredible.

260
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: A sequel is the highest grossing animated movie of all time.

261
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm still going because it's got about one point seven

262
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: billion dollars it's made. That's incredible. But yeah, people love

263
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: this movie. I saw the first one. It was great,

264
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: But people, I love these movies.

265
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: I did not see the first one, but I'm look.

266
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: My nineteen year old daughter, while she was here and

267
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: back home for Christ's Break, saw Zutopia too. It's the

268
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: only movie she went and paid four on her own,

269
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: and she said it was phenomenal.

270
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: So I don't get. I don't get how they did

271
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: it because I didn't know. I watched it with Sabine

272
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: the first one. I didn't know what it was really about.

273
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how they did it. It's the most

274
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: charming little movie. It is wonderful. The characters are great.

275
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how they pulled it off. It's great.

276
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,239
Speaker 2: I can't even tell you what it's about. I loved it.

277
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: Somebody little Chipmunk is something wanting to go to become

278
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: a cop. It was not even Chipmunk. I apologize, y'all,

279
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: is not. I don't even know what it is.

280
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: They're just adorable and it's maybe what we need in

281
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: the world right now.

282
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: Great story, great hard ah, it's.

283
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: Great, and talk about a story and great heart. This

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: next one just it spoke to me. Venus Williams. Yes,

285
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: the headline is that she did lose in the first

286
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: round of the Australia Open this weekend. But there is

287
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: so much more to this story. First of all, she

288
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: set a record just by competing in the Australia Open.

289
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: She is the oldest person to ever compete in that match.

290
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: She's forty five years old. But I love this story.

291
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: She made her debut at the Australian Open in nineteen

292
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: ninety eight when she was just seventeen years old, and

293
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: she wasn't necessarily I don't know how it works. Maybe

294
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: you can explain it to me. She only got into

295
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: this competition through a wild card.

296
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: How does that work?

297
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: She didn't qualify. Most of the people get there's an

298
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: open tournament, so you can qualify. You just play your

299
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: way in. But they hold these wild cards. Essentially, they

300
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: get the right to if some history making player, if

301
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: Roger Federer run at the play he's retired, they say, yeah,

302
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: of course you can come on in, right. They get

303
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 2: the right to just have these special exceptions, And they

304
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: gave her a special exception.

305
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Obviously, yes, and people would pay to see her play

306
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: no matter what. But I love that she's making a

307
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: comeback and that she's going back into the sport that

308
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: she loves at the age she as it's an inspiration

309
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: to everyone.

310
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: And yeah, she's by the way, she was up for

311
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: nothing in that last yet she was close to pulling

312
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: this off, so it wasn't like she got blown. She's

313
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: competing still at forty five.

314
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: And she felt good about it too, So I loved

315
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: her comments. I loved everything about how she handled herself.

316
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: Just putting yourself back out there when you were at

317
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: the top of your game to come back at forty

318
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: five and no, you're not going to be your seventeen

319
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: year old self, but I love that she's doing it

320
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: anyway because she loves the sport.

321
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: It's awesome. Congrats to her, and congrats to Denver, New England,

322
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: LA and Seattle. That's your final four now in the

323
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs. Yes, upcoming games this weekend will determine who's

324
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: going to the Super Bowl. Be the Denver Broncos against

325
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots, but the LA Rams against the

326
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. The Broncos bo Nicks hate this for him.

327
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: They lost their quarterback broke his ankle, so he's been

328
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: a stud for them all year. They win the game,

329
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: but you lose your quarterback. So to win a super Bowl,

330
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: demmer is going to have to do without their stud quarterback.

331
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: But that's coming up this weekend and coming up tonight.

332
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: Remember folks national championship in college Miami versus Indiana. So

333
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: that'll be a fun game tonight.

334
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: And I just read President Trump will be there, so

335
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: that will be a spectacle in and of itself. So yes,

336
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: we want to focus on the game we love. Man,

337
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: I was hoping that we'd be in Miami cheering on,

338
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: but no, it's Miami versus Indiana. And yes, I see

339
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: your face, but I did see President Trump says he

340
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: plans to be in attend.

341
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: It's the only reason I do that because it's this

342
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: one big event. It's a thing they're supposed to bring

343
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: us all together, make us happy. You look forward to

344
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: this one thing and then politics comes into it and

345
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: just you hate for moments. Just his presence brings a

346
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: certain thing that doesn't necessarily bring us all together. Yes,

347
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: and that's just fair to say. It's free. And so

348
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: when it's something like this that's supposed to bring us

349
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: all together. As soon as you said, I.

350
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: Know your face fell, You're like, oh no, because yes, sports,

351
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: Sports is unifying. I mean, even though, yes, you've got

352
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: two teams that are competing against each other and half

353
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: the stadium is going to leave a little disappointed, there

354
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: is still something united about a sporting event.

355
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: I don't want to see activists and negative moments and

356
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: somebody I don't.

357
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: We'll be watching, and we will be watching. We'll see

358
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: what happens.

359
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: All right. Before we let you go, folks here on

360
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 2: this Monday, something we want for you to take with you.

361
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: It is our quote of the day quote. You will

362
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 2: never be a failure. Failure is not a person. Failure

363
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: is just a moment in time.

364
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: I like that.

365
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: That's good to remind yourself of that, because it can

366
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: feel overwhelming if you're not getting where you want to go,

367
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: or you're not achieving what you think you can or should.

368
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: It's nice to note that it's just temporary.

369
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Haven't we heard people called a failure? He's such a failure. Yeah,

370
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: her daughter's a failure. Yeah, her son's a failure. You

371
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: hear that people aren't failures, just a moment in time.

372
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: So it's good in those moments in time. Those moments

373
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: in time are important. It's how we learn it's how

374
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: we grow, it's how we become better.

375
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: So, folks, hope you grow and become better today. Take

376
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: this quote with you. You will never be a failure.

377
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: Failure is not a person. Failure is just a moment

378
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: in time and folks, as always, we appreciate you spending
