1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot, so

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: says gun owner and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, I'm Amy.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 3: Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. This is your morning run

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 3: for this Friday, September twentieth.

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: That Kamala Harris warning to intruders came in response to

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: a question from Oprah Winfrey.

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: We're going to explain that.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: Also on today's run, the Fed made its move and

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the markets responded in a record way.

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: Plus what in God's name is going on in North

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: Carolina where an ugly scandal has erupted and the governor's race. Meanwhile,

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 3: South Carolina is scheduled to execute a man tonight for

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: a crime that another witness swears he did not commit.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Also, a judge shot and killed in his chambers, The

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: county sheriff has been arrested, and reckoning and redlines, the

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: war and the war of words escalate in the conflict

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: between Israel and Hezbollah.

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: Also how the US ranks among other countries, and healthcare

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: last the answer is last. And also on this morning's run,

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: Baseball's fifty to fifty Club has its first member. But

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: we are going to head out on the morning run

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: on a high note, a record high note, in fact, gropes.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: That's right.

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: We didn't even have to wait long to see the

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: impact of the Federal reserves decision to cut interest rates.

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: Stocks closed at an all time high yesterday, just a

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: day after the Fed announced that hefty half point interest

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: rate cut.

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Dow gained over five hundred points yesterday, crossed

31
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: the forty two thousand mark for the first time ever.

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: S and P was up about two percent. Yesterday also

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: closed at an all time high. Yep.

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: The Fed cut those interest rates on Wednesday. It was

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: the first time it did so since the pandemic more.

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Than four years ago.

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Rates had been sitting at a twenty three year high

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: before the cut this week, and economists think more rate

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: cuts are coming before the end of the year.

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: And we have another optimistic economic note to tell you about.

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: Mortgage rates dropped to about six percent yesterday. It was

42
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: a pretty steep drop just overnight, and this is the

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: lowest we've seen since the beginning of last year. So

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: we were talking about those rate cuts sometimes take a

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: little while for them to trickle through the economy, but

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: we are seeing already robe some immediate impacts of the

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 3: interest rate cut.

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: And that's amazing news because there has been and have

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: been so many stories regarding people's inability to purchase homes

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: in recent years because of those interest rates. So some

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: big relief for all of us out there, and especially

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: those who are looking to buy their homes.

53
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: All right.

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Next up on our run the Republican candidate for governor

55
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: of North Carolina, vowing to stay in the race. This

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: after report that said he made numerous lude and disturbing

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: comments on a message board of a porn site. It

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: happened more than ten years ago. According to CNN, Mark

59
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: Robinson posted on a website called Nude Africa and called himself,

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: among other things, a black Nazi.

61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: You're hearing this right in a sequential state like North Carolina,

62
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: the highest office in that state, and we are talking

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: about Nude Africa and black Nazi. This right now is

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: in the middle of this race. The report here by

65
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: CNN claims it Robinson, under a user name called Mini Soldier,

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: express support for bringing back slavery and posted about peeping

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: on women in jim showers when he was fourteen years old.

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: The posts also say he enjoyed watching transgender porn and

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: refer to himself as a perv. This is a big

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: departure from Robinson's current stance on transgender rights. He says

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: he believes that transgender women should be arrested for using

72
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: women's restrooms, among other things.

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's known for some anti transgender rhetoric for sure.

74
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: He reportedly made these posts from two thousand and eight

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: to twenty twelve, well before he entered politics, which was

76
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty that's when he was elected lieutenant governor

77
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: of that state. Robinson is denying the report. He called

78
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: it tabloid trash and said that the posts are not

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: the words of Mark Robinson, adding we are staying in

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: this race. We are in it to win it, and

81
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: we know that with your help we will see.

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: And N published Robinson's profile on this website New to Africa,

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: where he listed his full name, his photo, as well

84
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: as an email address. He used on numerous websites across

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: the Internet for decades and apparently CNN reported only a

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: small portion of Robinson's comments because they say so much

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: of it was too graphic in nature to even put

88
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: out there.

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to read, there are even more.

90
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: Well, I just should say posts or comments that he

91
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: made all overseen in his website if you want to

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: check it out, it's all in there. And as you

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: referred to earlier, TJ, this report is a huge blow

94
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: for Republicans in the battleground state of North Carolina. Robinson

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: has been endorsed and backed by Trump, showing up at

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: rallies with him. Trump dubbed Robinson Martin Luther King on steroids.

97
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how while the President,

98
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: the former president reacts to this news.

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: So far, not a lot of comments.

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 3: Every time I hear the Martin Luther King on steroids comment,

101
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: it's just hilarious.

102
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: Robinson has very much so distanced himself from Martin Luther

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: King and made some fairly incendiary comments about the leader

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: in recent years.

105
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: We're thinking about your North Carolina. We're thinking about it.

106
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: Next up on our Morning Ron, We're going to turn

107
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: to South Carolina. Is that state going to execute an

108
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: innocent man tonight? The clock is ticking for Freddie Owens,

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: scheduled to die by lethal injection.

110
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: It's supposed to happen at six.

111
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Pm Eastern time tonight for a murder he says he

112
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: did not commit. That in and of itself is not

113
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: that unusual. What is though, We don't just have to

114
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: take his.

115
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: Word for it.

116
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: He attorneys have been asking courts to take the word

117
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: of another man, take the word of Stephen Golden, who

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: has sworn that Owens wasn't even at the scene of

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: the crime. But here's the prime Golden testified in the

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: original case back in the late nineties that it was

121
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: Owens who shot and killed convenience store clerk Irene Graves

122
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 3: during a robbery.

123
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: Golden is now saying that he lied back then to

124
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: save his own butt, and that he had a secret

125
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: deal in place with prosecutors for possible leniency in his

126
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: own case if he testified that Owens was the shooter. Now,

127
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: Golden has submitted a swornist statement to the court and says, quote,

128
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm coming forward now because I know Freddy's execution date

129
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: is September twentieth, and I don't want Freddy to be

130
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: executed for something he didn't do. That has weighed heavily

131
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: on my mind, and I want to have a clear conscience.

132
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 3: All appeals for Owens have now been exhausted. The Supreme

133
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: Court now said they're not going to step in. The

134
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: only thing that can save Owens the governor at this point,

135
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: but we're not going to know. We're going to go

136
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: all day not knowing if the governor, Henry McMaster is

137
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 3: going to step in and grant clemency. Why we have

138
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: to wait all day. Well, the governor says he's going

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: to follow tradition and is going to reveal his decision

140
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: only when the prison calls him, and they do that

141
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: just really minutes before the execution tonight.

142
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: And TJ.

143
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: I have actually witnessed an execution in South Carolina at

144
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: the very place where Owens will be this evening, and yes,

145
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: waiting for that phone call is quite a scene and

146
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: it never came in my case. And we'll see if

147
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: that happens for Owens tonight. Owens would be the first

148
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: person executed in that state in thirteen years. There was

149
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: a pause in executions because South Carolina struggled to.

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: Obtain the proper drugs for lethal injection.

151
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: So the delay went on for so long that the

152
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: state actually passed legislation to bring back the electric chair

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: and the firing squad in the meantime. So, yes, in

154
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: case you were wondering, you can die by firing squad

155
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: in South Carolina.

156
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, earlier this year, they actually tested all of these

157
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: things to make sure they were ready to go. They

158
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: are already, but the firing squad is not going to

159
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: be used tonight. Inmates actually get the option. They get

160
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: to choose which method they want to die by. Owen

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: said he let his lawyers choose for him because he

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: didn't want to feel like he was actually participating in

163
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: his own death. So he will die by lethal injection

164
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: six o'clock the night. If the governor does not grant clemency,

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: we'll shall see. We want to continue to run. Now

166
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: with another pretty difficult story out of Kentucky, where a

167
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: share of there is accused of murder. You heard that right,

168
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: A sheriff accused of murder, but you're not going to

169
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: believe he's now accused of murdering. Forty three year old

170
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: Lecher County Sheriff Sean Stein's facing a first degree murder

171
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: charge after shooting and killing a Kentucky judge in the

172
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: judge's chambers. Reports say Stein shot district Judge Kevin Mullins

173
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: multiple times after an argument in the courthouse. Mullins died

174
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: at the Saint Stein's surrendered without incident and is cooperating

175
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: with authorities.

176
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Now, Mullins had been a judge in that community for

177
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: the past fifteen years. Stein's had been sheriff for nearly

178
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: eight years. So you can only imagine this town is

179
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: in complete shock. And it happened in a very small

180
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: Appalachian town.

181
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: It's called Whitesburg.

182
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: You know those towns where everyone knows one another, so

183
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: much so that the lead prosecutor just had to recuse

184
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: himself and his entire office from the investigation of the shooting.

185
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: Here's what he.

186
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Said, quote, we all know each other here. Anyone from

187
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Lecher County would tell you the Judge Mullins and I

188
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: married sisters, and that we have children who are first

189
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: cousins but act like siblings. And for that reason, among others,

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: I have already taken steps to recuse myself and my

191
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: entire office.

192
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: So we have a special prosecutor is going to be

193
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: assigned to continue the investigation, and then the state attorney

194
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: General's offers vows to pursue justice in what is a really,

195
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: really difficult case.

196
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: This judge, I just want to talk a little bit

197
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: about Mullins because he's been really beloved in his community.

198
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: He's had such incredible work. He gained attention for his

199
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: efforts to treat those with drug addiction rather than putting

200
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: behind bars. So this was a celebrated judge, a beloved man,

201
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: and certainly we feel for the community right there who

202
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: has to be reeling from this unthinkable tragedy. We have

203
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: much more coming up here on the Morning Run. Next up,

204
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about Britain calling for an

205
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: immediate seaspar the US afraid of escalating tensions in the

206
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: Middle East. Welcome back to the Morning Run up. Next here,

207
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: the US concerned about escalation Britain and calling for an

208
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: immediate ceasefire, and fears and concerns are falling on deaf

209
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: ears right now as the conflict between Israel and Hesbela

210
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: unfortunately showing no signs right now of abating.

211
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: After those unprecedented attacks this week in which pagers and

212
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: walkie talkie used by the militant group exploded across Lebanon,

213
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: the HUSBLA leader is accusing Israel of crossing all red

214
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: lines is how we put it, calling that a declaration

215
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: of war. Is leaders made clear though that they are

216
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: going to keep up their assault on Hesbealow.

217
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: Israel has been engaged in cross border conflict with the

218
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: Iran backed Hesbelas since the war in Gaza began. Nearly

219
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: forty people killed and three thousand injured in both the

220
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: pager and walkie talkie attacks that we saw this week

221
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: in that area.

222
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: We're going to continue now on our morning run back

223
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: here in the US talking about our healthcare system. It's

224
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: failing this according to a new report that shows the

225
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: US ranks last among ten developed countries. Report says that

226
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: people in the US die the youngest and experience the

227
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: most avoidable deaths, even though we spend nearly twice as

228
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: much on healthcare than any other nation on the list.

229
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: We were also the worst performer on access to care

230
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: and guaranteeing quality treatment for everyone, regardless of gender, income.

231
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: Or geographic location.

232
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: So this report is timely given that healthcare is one

233
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: of the top issues for voters in this upcoming presidential election.

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: So these finding is maybe not a surprise to anybody listening,

235
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: but this is the bottom line. Researchers say that the

236
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: US spends the most, but gets the least from its

237
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: investment in healthcare. Anybody here in this country, who has

238
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: had to sign up for healthcare, deal with healthcare, ever,

239
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: go to a doctor, ever, fill out a form. Certainly

240
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: would agree probably with this finding.

241
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: And we're going to continue our run with another big

242
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: story making headlines. So he started out with a quote

243
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: surrounding it at the beginning of this broadcast.

244
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: Yes, say, we're talking with Julia Roberts, Meryl Street, Chris Rock,

245
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: Brian Cranston, Oprah Winfrey. Sounded like a pretty good party. Now,

246
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: who could possibly bring all of these folks together? Yeah?

247
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 3: Vp Harris, Vice President Gumla Harris. You've probably heard he

248
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: was going to have this town hall, a virtual town

249
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: hall that went out. It was live. It was live stream,

250
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: but a lot of people chimed in from their remote locations,

251
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: including a number of these big stars, while Oprah and

252
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: Vice President Harris sat in a room with about four

253
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: hundred spectators doing this town hall. But Robes it was

254
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: a response she gave about gun control and gun that's

255
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: going to get or is getting a lot of attention.

256
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: And we can give the quote, but then when you

257
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: go back and watch it, it kind of reads differently.

258
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: That's right, well, Oprah, they were talking about gun control

259
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: and that's when Kamala Harris said, you know, I am

260
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: a gun owner, and Oprah was surprised. She said she

261
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: didn't know that, and so it seemed like, you know,

262
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: she was just kind of explaining the reason why she

263
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: owned a gun. And she said, quote, if somebody breaks

264
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: into my house, they're getting shot.

265
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: And she started to laugh.

266
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: She broke into a laugh, and when Oprah seemed a

267
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: little surprised by that, she added, probably should not have

268
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: said that. My staff will deal with that later. Here's

269
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: my point, Oprah, I'm not trying to take everyone's guns away.

270
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: I believe in the Second Amendment, she said. And she

271
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: called for stronger gun background checks and banning assault weapons,

272
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: because she said that just makes common sense.

273
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: Okay, But so many of the time, and so often

274
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: it says been the rub against her is that she

275
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: just she has a laugh or an awkward laugh where

276
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 3: she can be uncomfortable in interviews. She says something that's

277
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: a little all for a little weird, little awkward. Here

278
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: we go again. This is going to be one. And

279
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: she even said it herself in the middle of giving

280
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: the answer and in the middle of laughing. My staff

281
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: is going to have to deal with that. So it

282
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: was kind of a jarring response from someone who is

283
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: the presidential nominee to say you're gonna get shot if

284
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: you come in my house. I've heard a lot of

285
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: people say that.

286
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: Yes, in my life, I've heard that as well.

287
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: From the South, not usually on a stage.

288
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: Or from a presidential candidate.

289
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: So who knows how that's going to read. Welcome it.

290
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 2: Let's remember that.

291
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Then presidential candidate Donald Trump made a very big statement

292
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: saying he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still

293
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: be elected president. So perhaps this isn't the first time

294
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: we've heard a president say somebody could get shot.

295
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: See, here's our problem is that we hold the candidates

296
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 3: to different standards. We hold him to a different standard.

297
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: We've heard audio of him saying some things that would

298
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: get you fired at any office, and he ended up

299
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: getting voted and elected to the highest office. So to

300
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: your point, it's weird that I hear her say something

301
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: and I go wow, I hear him say something Trump.

302
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: So perspective is everything.

303
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: Finally, here on our morning run, we are going to

304
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: wrap up with some pretty incredible history robes. You know,

305
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: I love this and I stay up late for this reason.

306
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: Oftentimes is that you never know when you're going to

307
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: miss history, and we saw some history yesterday. Baseball, of course,

308
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: been around a long time, so when you witness something

309
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: that's never been done in the game before, it's pretty special.

310
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: So the fifty to fifty Club in baseball has its

311
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: first ever member. LA Dodgers Phenom sho hey Otani is

312
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: the first player ever to record fifty home runs and

313
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: fifty stolen bases in a season. He did yesterday against

314
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: Miami in a game in which he had two stolen bases,

315
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: three home runs, ten RBI. In other words, the dude

316
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: had a pretty good night. But he is a fena.

317
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: He's a guy who's capable of being the best pitcher

318
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: in baseball, capable of being the base hitter in baseball.

319
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: And he's the guy that signed that ten year, seven

320
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: hundred million dollar deal not too terribly longer.

321
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: That makes sense.

322
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: But I was a little curious because if he's become

323
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a member of the fifty to fifty Club, but if

324
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: he's the first ever member, he's the founder of the

325
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty club, And was this a club that

326
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: people knew about and tried to get to and couldn't reach.

327
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: He's the inaugural member. He's also the president, the VP,

328
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 3: the treasurer of the com troller. Yeah, he's everything for

329
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: this club. The thing is, I think there are four

330
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: I might have to check myself on that. Four members

331
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: of the forty forty one.

332
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just seeing that guy, all right, there, are

333
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: you work correct? Yes, jose Canseco, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez,

334
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and Alfonso Soriano.

335
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: Okay, And those guys didn't necessarily get that close to

336
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: the fifty fifty. And there was another guy who had

337
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: seventy three stolen bases, but he was lower in the

338
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: home run. What I'm saying this is almost impossible to

339
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: do for a sport that's been around as long as

340
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: this has, and this is the first guy that's ever

341
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 3: done it is incredibly special. And he is I mean,

342
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: he's taking applications for anybody who would like to apply

343
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: to join his club, but right now it's just him

344
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse, well by himself.

345
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Congratulations to him, and I'm very actually want to congratulate

346
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: you for saying his name and not making me try

347
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: to do it.

348
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: Show. Hey, oh Tani were you should know that name.

349
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: It's like Gianni's antetokumpo. Right, you're gonna be saying it.

350
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: Enough, head like you right.

351
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Wow, that was my best one I could pull out

352
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: from back in the day of cable news.

353
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: Well, folks, we certainly appreciated running with you this week.

354
