Speaker 3: That's right.

00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Chaotic scenes on the streets in New York as well

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: as in Chicago where a car plowed through a crowd.

00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: you're not fired, but don't bother coming back either. ABC

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: News is parting ways with a long time journalist because

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: of his itchy Twitter fingers.

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Plus running out of words to describe what continues to

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: be a jaw dropping testimony in the Ditty trial. And yesterday,

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: yeah it was another doozy.

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,120

00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: surprised everybody yesterday, casually mentioning that he's been married for months.

Speaker 2: his dating life has been covered a lot over the

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: past decade. Nobody knew who's naing.

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 3: You know what's funny. I don't know why. I feel

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: like it's a personal.

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: Win to see someone like him be able to have

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: some privacy and feel good about it. After yes, his

Speaker 1: public his private life has been very publicly displayed for

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: years now.

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: It's a win for him, But I don't know why.

35
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: It feels like a personal win too, Like, yeah, somebody

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: got you know, was able to actually do something without

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: having everyone covered at nausea.

38
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: Get this. We're still not quite sure who his wife is.

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: We'll get into that.

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: That's the even thought, like that's the best part of

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: the story. Yes, we'll get into it in just a sec.

42
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: But we begin our Wednesday morning run taking us to

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: downtown Los Angeles, where police say they made mass arrests

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: after a curfew went into effect last night. The LA

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Mayor imposed an eight pm curfew for a very small

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: and very specific one mile area of downtown Los Angeles,

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: which has been the site of classes between police and

48
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: protesters for several days now.

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 2: Demonstrations over ice raids started last Friday in LA, mostly peaceful,

50
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: but then delved or devolved, i should say, into more

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: widespread chaos and clashes. President Trump has ordered National Guard

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: and Marines to the area, a move that California leaders

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: say exacerbated the situation. For the most part, National Guard

54
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: stood by. We saw them on video. There's just standing

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: by what LA police were doing all of the work

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: of doing the arrests of people who were still in

57
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: the street after that curfew.

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Now, LA officials say at least twenty three businesses have

59
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: been looted so far, and the mayor expects she could

60
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: keep we back heur few in place for the next

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: several days. Meanwhile, President Trump defended his use of the

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: National Guard and Marines and called demonstrators animals and a

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: foreign enemy that he's going to liberate Los Angeles from. Well.

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: The state of California has now sued Trump over his

65
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: use of the military, calling it unconstitutional, but a hearing

66
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: isn't happening on that issue until Thursday, so we'll see

67
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: about that. But this unrest has spilled over to several

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: cities across the United States, and personally here in New

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: York City, we actually witnessed some of it.

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, just we live here in Lower Manhattan, I

71
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: think a lot of people know by now, but one

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: of the main areas is just a couple of blocks

73
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: from us, And sure enough, it was a mass protest.

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: But then later in the night, things we saw later

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: got a little test to year and there were some

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: clashes and at least eighty people were arrested here in

77
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: New York.

78
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: Yes, it seemed very peaceful what we saw.

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: We actually went over to check out one of the

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: staging areas right outside of the courthouse there in Lower Manhattan.

81
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: People had signs and they were shouting, but it was

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: very peaceful. Yes, it was after midnight when things unraveled,

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: so to speak. And apparently they are saying that the

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: protesters will return again at five pm in Lower Manhattan

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: here today, So it remains to be seen how.

86
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: That will go.

87
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: But in Chicago, a car drove into a crowd of demonstrators.

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: No one was injured, but certainly hundreds, if not thousands,

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: had gathered in that city as well. In Austin, Texas,

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: several cities across the country uniting with LA protesters.

91
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue on this Wednesday morning run now

92
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: with a major development in the thawing feud between Elon

93
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: Musk and President Trump. Musk might have been up late,

94
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: or maybe he gets up early at three am like

95
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: the rest of us, because while most folks, yes, most

96
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 2: of you, were sleeping, Musk was doing some self reflecting

97
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: and tweeted at three four am.

98
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: This, I regret some of my posts about President Donald

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Trump last week.

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: They went too far. That's it.

101
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: This is a major, major departure from what we had

102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: heard before. It comes just a few days after Musk

103
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: did delete some of his most incendiary tweets about Trump,

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: including the one where he accused the President of being

105
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: in the Jeffrey Epstein files. He also deleted that post

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: where he replied yes to a call for Trump to

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: be impeached and for Vice President JD. Vans to take

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: his place.

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: So what's President Trump saying about all this? Well, Originally

110
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: the President talked about Musk losing it and said he

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 2: had gone crazy, but things softened. On Monday, the President said, quote,

112
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: we had a great relationship and I wish him well,

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: very well. Actually, that clip was posted on X and

114
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Musk responded to the post with a heart emoji.

115
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you started to see the beginning of thawing tensions.

116
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: And as at this recording, neither Trump nor the White

117
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: House has directly reacted to Musk's latest tweet of regret.

118
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: But who knows.

119
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: This could be the first step to reconciliation. Even though

120
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: we heard Trump say he had no interest in resuming

121
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: his relationship with him public.

122
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 3: And ugly back and forth.

123
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure you all remember between Trump and Musk began

124
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: after Musk went on X calling Trump's Big Beautiful Bill

125
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: a disgusting abomination, and it unraveled from there.

126
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't mind this. The stock market might even react

127
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: if they think the relationship is coming back together in

128
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: one way or another. But still, look, anytime people speak

129
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 2: bad or do something wrong and can come back and

130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: say I apologize or I did something wrong and do

131
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: it in a public way, that's got to be a win.

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: You know. It feels good that at least there can

133
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: be some reflection, there can be some regret, and there

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: can be maybe some better understanding of how to conduct.

135
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: Your very private issues less publicly.

136
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, life lessons with Donald Trump and Elion Musk. We'll

137
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 2: continue on our run here on this Wednesday. I keep

138
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: saying it's Wednesday.

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: Man is Wednesday.

140
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll continue our run here on this Wednesday morning.

141
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: We had to Fort Bragg, the country's largest military base,

142
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: where President Trump kicked off the Army's birthday week with

143
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: a major announcement that the Confederacy is making a back.

144
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: Let me explain specifically. He's talking about seven military bases

145
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: that are getting their old names back, and all of

146
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: their old names are of Confederate officers.

147
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: The seven bases had their names changed during the Biden

148
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: administration in an effort to not have US military bases

149
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: named after Confederate leaders. Well, now Trump says their names

150
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: are being restored, so their bases will go back to

151
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: these names. Fort Pickett, Fort Lee, and Fort ap Hill.

152
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: That's all in North Carolina.

153
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: That's my mistake. Those are all in Virginia. Apologies, Virginia folks.

154
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: I wrote that in there incorrectly for her. All of

155
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: those are in Virginia.

156
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you for that. Ah, all right, I should

157
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: have known Fort Lee, duh? All right?

158
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Fort Hood in Texas Fort Gordon in Georgia, Fort Rucker

159
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: in Alabama, and Fort Polk in Louisiana.

160
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: Now you might remember the Trump administration previously restored the

161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: names of Fort Bragg and Fort Benning. They did that

162
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: with a lot of fanfare. Fort Bragg, if you maybe

163
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: I didn't even notice at the time, it had been

164
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: called Fort Liberty for the past couple of years. Fort

165
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: Benning had been called Fort Moore. So those two initially

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: had their name restored. But this is the key here, folks.

167
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: In the case of each they found a way around

168
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: actually naming the base after a Confederate officer by finding

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: a different namesake. My point being Fort Bragg was originally

170
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 2: named after a Confederate general, Braxton Bragg. They changed it

171
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: to Fort Liberty, got rid of that. So but when

172
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: they brought it back to be Fort Bragg again, they

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: said they were naming it after Private first Class Roland Bragg.

174
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Who was that?

175
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: No one of note, but just somebody who had the

176
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: same last name. They've done that to every one of

177
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: these bases. You find a random namesake, so you can

178
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: say it's Fort Bragg or whatever, which is the original name,

179
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: but you can say it's technically not named after a

180
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: Confederate general or leader.

181
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: So in each one of these basics, they found another

182
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: person to replace the original Confederate leader.

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: Which nobody's going to go Google and look up. You're

184
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: just going to look up and you're going to see

185
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: it's still the same name that it was when it

186
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: was named after some Confederate.

187
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: All find it so ironic that in the same week,

188
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: or at least within a matter of days, they've restored

189
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Confederate names, but they're taking down names of iconic pioneers

190
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: like Harvey Milk. Wow, that flies in the face of

191
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: so much. All right, next up on a run, let's

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: come back to Lower Manhattan and talk the Ditty trial.

193
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: Today will be day twenty one of testimony and Jane

194
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: is expected to continue cross examination. She has been on

195
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: the stand since last Thursday, testifying under the pseudonym Jane

196
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: in order to protect her identity.

197
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: She dated Ditty up until last year. She's a key

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: prosecution witness, one of the four victims the government has

199
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: based its case on. She's been testifying to a pattern

200
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: of abuse and control by Combs in which she felt

201
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: obligated to participate in those so called freak offs. Now

202
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: before she got back on the stand yesterday, there was

203
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: some business to tend to, and the judge formally denied

204
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: Diddy's request to end this trial.

205
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Yes His defense team had filed the motion for a mistrial,

206
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: claiming prosecutorial misconduct. The judge did give props, however, to

207
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: the defense. They had said that there was a they

208
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: should have been able to end the trial because one

209
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: of the prosecution's witnesses testified to something that Diddy did

210
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: on a day that they proved he couldn't have done

211
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: because he was in a completely different city. The judge

212
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: did say, hey, nice Perry Mason moment, but it's not

213
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: enough grounds for a mistrial. So once testimony he got

214
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: going yesterday, we heard some wild stuff, including that Diddy

215
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: apparently likes to pretend he's Michael Jordan.

216
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: Jane claiming that she and Diddy.

217
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: And a male escort would refer to themselves as the

218
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: Trifecta on their hotel nights, Jane playing the role of

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: Phobe Bryant, the escort Paul would apparently be Shaquille O'Neal,

220
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: and Diddy would be Jordan. I can't even get my

221
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: head around that.

222
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: People are into what they're into and that's fine. It's

223
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: just we are learning so much. These details are so bizarre,

224
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: but you're just getting, just really get You're not even

225
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: looking through the window. It's almost like it puts you

226
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: in the room. Some of the details we have been

227
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: hearing about these personal lives, but that was just one

228
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: that caught a lot of people's attention. The defense was

229
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: able to show through text messages that Jane was at

230
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: times an enthusiastic participant and even had a say in

231
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: how things would go in these freak colls. That's important

232
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: because coercion is a big part of this. Was she

233
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: there consensually or not at times? Jane's cross examination is

234
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: expected to last through today, possibly even tomorrow. Robes That

235
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: would put her as almost a full week that she's

236
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: been on the stand. This will be the one who's

237
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: testified longest.

238
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: Real that's right, And everything I've read saying that the

239
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: defense attorneys agreed to a truncated day today because they

240
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: say they'll go they'll continue their cross examination through the

241
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: day tomorrow. So yes, that would put her on the

242
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: stand for a full week. Court is getting that later

243
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: start today at one pm.

244
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: All right, Well, stay with us. Folks on here on

245
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: this Wednesday Morning Run. You're not fired, but don't let

246
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: the door hit you on the way out either, Terry Moran. Yes,

247
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: ABC News has made its call on his future. Also

248
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: coming up, we have got to learn a thing or

249
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: two from Aaron Rodgers about keeping your relationship details private.

250
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Wednesday Morning Rona. Next up on

251
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: the Run, Senior national correspondent Terry Moran is out at

252
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: ABC News. This comes after the network suspended him earlier

253
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: in the week for posting a now deleted tweet that

254
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: was critical of the President and his staff.

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: That Moran wrote that Trump band Deputy White House Chief

256
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: of Staff Stephen Miller were world class haters. His words,

257
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: his post said grammatical eras it was written after midnight.

258
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: He went on to say that Miller's hatreds are his

259
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Then about Trump, he

260
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 2: is Hatred's only a means to an end, and that

261
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: end is his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment.

262
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot. So turns out ABC did

263
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: not have to technically fire Miran because his contract was

264
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: reportedly and I dare say, conveniently up this Friday, so

265
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: the network said, hey, we just decided not to renew

266
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: it after twenty eight years with ABC News.

267
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: Here was their statement.

268
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran,

269
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: and based on his recent post, which was a clear

270
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: violation of ABC News policies, we have made the decision

271
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: to not renew at ABC News.

272
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: We hold all of our reporters to the highest.

273
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism, and we remain committed

274
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: to delivering straight forward, trusted journalism.

275
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: Terry Moran had several recent high profile assignments with the network,

276
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: leading ABC's coverage of the papal conclave in Rome and

277
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: of course, securing that interview with President Trump back in

278
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: April that was to discuss Trump's one hundred days in office.

279
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: The administration had called for Moran to be suspended and

280
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: fired following that tweet. Why How spokesperson said his post

281
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: was unacceptable and unhinged, says speaks to the distrust that

282
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: the American public has in the legacy media.

283
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: What are the chances that his contract was up on Friday?

284
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: We as reporters or anchors usually sign two, but sometimes

285
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: four year deals. I don't know how long his was.

286
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: But that's fairly remarkable that on. And maybe he knew

287
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: they weren't going to renew his contract. Maybe he felt

288
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: like he had the ability to go ahead and say

289
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: what he wanted to say. It's hard to get into

290
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: his head. He hasn't made any comments, but the timing

291
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: is interesting.

292
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: I think about this totally differently now we know Terry Moran.

293
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: This is not characteristic of him, even the language. If

294
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: he knew his contract now I'm thinking like, was he

295
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: just trying to get out of there? Was he just

296
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: over it anyway and knew he was going to be leaving?

297
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: And also, we work in this business. How many times

298
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: did anybody allow your contract to go up to the

299
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: week before or before you start discussing, or before you start,

300
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: before you're signed, it's usually.

301
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: Done, negotiations might have been going off the rails.

302
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: That's usually maybe like a month or two before your

303
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: contract's up. They usually come, do you start the negotiations?

304
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: It is The timing now is very, very very interesting

305
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: to me, and yes, makes me think differently about the

306
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: entire situation.

307
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially look.

308
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: If you're hoping to stay with the network when your

309
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: contract's about to come out. When they ask you to

310
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: do anything, go anywhere, stay late, you say yes, yes,

311
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: and yes, because you know that's a part of the negotiations.

312
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: All right, for the final leg of our run, we

313
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: could all learn a thing or two from Aaron Rodgers

314
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: on keeping your relationship private. He got married months ago,

315
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: and guess what, nobody knew.

316
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: So this is a really remarkable thing to pull off,

317
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: considering he is one of the most watched invisible athletes

318
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL. He has a regular TV segment that

319
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: he does. He's a future Hall of Famer, he's a

320
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: former MVP, he's a Super Bowl champion. He just signed

321
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: with the Pittsburgh Steelers, so there was a lot of

322
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: coverage of him where he was gonna go. Everybody's been

323
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: watching this guy for several months, but yesterday he hit

324
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: us with this hit training camp. At the press conference,

325
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: he just kind of casually slid in there that he

326
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: had gotten married months ago. Yeah.

327
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: A reporter asked him about a ring that was spotted

328
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: on his left finger recently. The reporter actually gave him

329
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: an out, suggested it was an AURR ring.

330
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: Rogers said, yeah, it's a wedding ring.

331
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: The reporter did not seem ready for that answer, because

332
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: there was really not much of a follow up other

333
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: than congratulations, how long has it been? And Rogers said

334
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: he'd been married for a couple of months.

335
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: So who is this lucky mystery lady. Well, we know

336
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: she's lucky and that's it. The rest is a mystery.

337
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: Congratulations to you, missus Rogers. He has kept the relationship

338
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: pretty private. He only mentioned her in a TV appearance

339
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: that had nothing to do with his relationship. He just

340
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: said something about the house, and yeah, something right for Brittany,

341
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: and he just kept going and I said, Brittany, it

342
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: was Brittany. Everybody went crazy and somebody even made a

343
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: joke Britney spears. They laughed it off, and he said, no,

344
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: Brittany with an eye, and that's all we got.

345
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: That's all we have.

346
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: And it's great because you know, we talk a lot

347
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: about clickbait here and how annoying it is. If you

348
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: go and google him, it'll say what we know about

349
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers's new wife, and then when you read it,

350
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: they know nothing.

351
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: They know nothing.

352
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: So it just goes to show you everyone wants to

353
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: act like they got something you can click on.

354
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: But he wins.

355
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: No one you know, and he has had several high

356
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: profile relationships in the press that didn't go well for him,

357
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: and I think he learned his lesson the hard way.

358
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: And I love that they get.

359
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: To have their moment, and they had their moment without

360
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: helicopters flying above and drones trying to get pictures.

361
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 3: They didn't even know the wedding was happening.

362
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: Well done and congratulations should certainly be said. But on

363
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: this Wednesday before you go, something we'd like for you

364
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: to consider it is our quote of the day.

365
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes I like to go way back to some of

366
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: the original folks who we like to quote, like.

367
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know Aristotle.

368
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: Here is what he had to say that we hope

369
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: will help you throughout your deck. We are what we

370
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

371
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: I've heard this one before. It's a doozy people. You know,

372
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: you're just born great, you work at it. Everybody the

373
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: I think the people who are best at things that

374
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: you know what, the height of most professions and things

375
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: I've seen are the people who work the hardest, who

376
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: are currently working hard, Like nobody had a harder workout

377
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: than Michael Jordan.

378
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: Right, you got to bring up Michael Jordan.

379
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: I want to bring up Michael Jordan again. You know

380
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: what I was gonna go with, Kobe. Let me go

381
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: to Lebron. Lebron was not a part of the traffeck.

382
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: Keep it out of the diddy the trial.

383
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: The point there being is I have seen people you

384
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: think they're just good at it. I have witnessed people

385
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: how hard they work, harder than I could ever imagine

386
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: for the success they have. And you just know, there's

387
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: a good lesson. But it also applies to a bunch

388
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: of stuff, like bad things you do. If you do

389
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 2: that repeatedly, we become those habits as well.

390
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: Yes, that's true. It's interesting. I was thinking of must

391
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: tweeting at three am.

392
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: Whatever you think of him, he is highly successful and

393
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: he's up at three am tweeting away. So here is

394
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: your quote of the day, one last time, on this

395
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: hump day. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then,

396
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: is not an act but a habit. Thank you, Aristotle,

397
