<v Speaker 2>you're not fired, but don't bother coming back either. ABC

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.400

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 2>of his itchy Twitter fingers.

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Plus running out of words to describe what continues to

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.600

<v Speaker 2>his dating life has been covered a lot over the

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>past decade. Nobody knew who's naing.

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 3>You know what's funny. I don't know why. I feel

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 3>like it's a personal.

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.959

<v Speaker 3>It's a win for him, But I don't know why.

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.760

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>got you know, was able to actually do something without

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>having everyone covered at nausea.

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Get this. We're still not quite sure who his wife is.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll get into that.

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>That's the even thought, like that's the best part of

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>the story. Yes, we'll get into it in just a sec.

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>But we begin our Wednesday morning run taking us to

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>downtown Los Angeles, where police say they made mass arrests

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>after a curfew went into effect last night. The LA

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Mayor imposed an eight pm curfew for a very small

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and very specific one mile area of downtown Los Angeles,

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>which has been the site of classes between police and

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>protesters for several days now.

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Demonstrations over ice raids started last Friday in LA, mostly peaceful,

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>but then delved or devolved, i should say, into more

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>widespread chaos and clashes. President Trump has ordered National Guard

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.519
<v Speaker 2>and Marines to the area, a move that California leaders

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>say exacerbated the situation. For the most part, National Guard

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>stood by. We saw them on video. There's just standing

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>by what LA police were doing all of the work

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>of doing the arrests of people who were still in

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>the street after that curfew.

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, LA officials say at least twenty three businesses have

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>been looted so far, and the mayor expects she could

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 1>keep we back heur few in place for the next

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>several days. Meanwhile, President Trump defended his use of the

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 1>National Guard and Marines and called demonstrators animals and a

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>foreign enemy that he's going to liberate Los Angeles from. Well.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>The state of California has now sued Trump over his

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>use of the military, calling it unconstitutional, but a hearing

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>isn't happening on that issue until Thursday, so we'll see

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>about that. But this unrest has spilled over to several

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>cities across the United States, and personally here in New

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>York City, we actually witnessed some of it.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, just we live here in Lower Manhattan, I

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people know by now, but one

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>of the main areas is just a couple of blocks

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>from us, And sure enough, it was a mass protest.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>But then later in the night, things we saw later

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 2>got a little test to year and there were some

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>clashes and at least eighty people were arrested here in

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>New York.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it seemed very peaceful what we saw.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>We actually went over to check out one of the

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>staging areas right outside of the courthouse there in Lower Manhattan.

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>People had signs and they were shouting, but it was

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>very peaceful. Yes, it was after midnight when things unraveled,

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. And apparently they are saying that the

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>protesters will return again at five pm in Lower Manhattan

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 1>here today, So it remains to be seen how.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 3>That will go.

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>But in Chicago, a car drove into a crowd of demonstrators.

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>No one was injured, but certainly hundreds, if not thousands,

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>had gathered in that city as well. In Austin, Texas,

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 1>several cities across the country uniting with LA protesters.

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll continue on this Wednesday morning run now

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>with a major development in the thawing feud between Elon

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Musk and President Trump. Musk might have been up late,

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>or maybe he gets up early at three am like

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the rest of us, because while most folks, yes, most

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 2>of you, were sleeping, Musk was doing some self reflecting

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and tweeted at three four am.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.479
<v Speaker 1>This, I regret some of my posts about President Donald

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Trump last week.

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 3>They went too far. That's it.

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>This is a major, major departure from what we had

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>heard before. It comes just a few days after Musk

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>did delete some of his most incendiary tweets about Trump,

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>including the one where he accused the President of being

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.280
<v Speaker 1>in the Jeffrey Epstein files. He also deleted that post

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>where he replied yes to a call for Trump to

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>be impeached and for Vice President JD. Vans to take

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>his place.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 2>So what's President Trump saying about all this? Well, Originally

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>the President talked about Musk losing it and said he

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.679
<v Speaker 2>had gone crazy, but things softened. On Monday, the President said, quote,

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we had a great relationship and I wish him well,

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 2>very well. Actually, that clip was posted on X and

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Musk responded to the post with a heart emoji.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you started to see the beginning of thawing tensions.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And as at this recording, neither Trump nor the White

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 1>House has directly reacted to Musk's latest tweet of regret.

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 3>But who knows.

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>This could be the first step to reconciliation. Even though

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we heard Trump say he had no interest in resuming

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>his relationship with him public.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 3>And ugly back and forth.

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you all remember between Trump and Musk began

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>after Musk went on X calling Trump's Big Beautiful Bill

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 1>a disgusting abomination, and it unraveled from there.

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind this. The stock market might even react

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>if they think the relationship is coming back together in

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 2>one way or another. But still, look, anytime people speak

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>bad or do something wrong and can come back and

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>say I apologize or I did something wrong and do

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 2>it in a public way, that's got to be a win.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>You know. It feels good that at least there can

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>be some reflection, there can be some regret, and there

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>can be maybe some better understanding of how to conduct.

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Your very private issues less publicly.

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, life lessons with Donald Trump and Elion Musk. We'll

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 2>continue on our run here on this Wednesday. I keep

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>saying it's Wednesday.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Man is Wednesday.

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we'll continue our run here on this Wednesday morning.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 2>We had to Fort Bragg, the country's largest military base,

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>where President Trump kicked off the Army's birthday week with

0:06:55.640 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 2>a major announcement that the Confederacy is making a back.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me explain specifically. He's talking about seven military bases

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>that are getting their old names back, and all of

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 2>their old names are of Confederate officers.

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>The seven bases had their names changed during the Biden

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>administration in an effort to not have US military bases

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>named after Confederate leaders. Well, now Trump says their names

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>are being restored, so their bases will go back to

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>these names. Fort Pickett, Fort Lee, and Fort ap Hill.

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all in North Carolina.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>That's my mistake. Those are all in Virginia. Apologies, Virginia folks.

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I wrote that in there incorrectly for her. All of

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>those are in Virginia.

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, thank you for that. Ah, all right, I should

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 3>have known Fort Lee, duh? All right?

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Fort Hood in Texas Fort Gordon in Georgia, Fort Rucker

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 1>in Alabama, and Fort Polk in Louisiana.

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Now you might remember the Trump administration previously restored the

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>names of Fort Bragg and Fort Benning. They did that

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of fanfare. Fort Bragg, if you maybe

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even notice at the time, it had been

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>called Fort Liberty for the past couple of years. Fort

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Benning had been called Fort Moore. So those two initially

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>had their name restored. But this is the key here, folks.

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 2>In the case of each they found a way around

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 2>actually naming the base after a Confederate officer by finding

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 2>a different namesake. My point being Fort Bragg was originally

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>named after a Confederate general, Braxton Bragg. They changed it

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 2>to Fort Liberty, got rid of that. So but when

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>they brought it back to be Fort Bragg again, they

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>said they were naming it after Private first Class Roland Bragg.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Who was that?

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>No one of note, but just somebody who had the

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>same last name. They've done that to every one of

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 2>these bases. You find a random namesake, so you can

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>say it's Fort Bragg or whatever, which is the original name,

0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 2>but you can say it's technically not named after a

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Confederate general or leader.

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 1>So in each one of these basics, they found another

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 1>person to replace the original Confederate leader.

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Which nobody's going to go Google and look up. You're

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>just going to look up and you're going to see

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 2>it's still the same name that it was when it

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>was named after some Confederate.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>All find it so ironic that in the same week,

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>or at least within a matter of days, they've restored

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Confederate names, but they're taking down names of iconic pioneers

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 1>like Harvey Milk. Wow, that flies in the face of

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>so much. All right, next up on a run, let's

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.319
<v Speaker 1>come back to Lower Manhattan and talk the Ditty trial.

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Today will be day twenty one of testimony and Jane

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>is expected to continue cross examination. She has been on

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the stand since last Thursday, testifying under the pseudonym Jane

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 1>in order to protect her identity.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 2>She dated Ditty up until last year. She's a key

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>prosecution witness, one of the four victims the government has

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 2>based its case on. She's been testifying to a pattern

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>of abuse and control by Combs in which she felt

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>obligated to participate in those so called freak offs. Now

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>before she got back on the stand yesterday, there was

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 2>some business to tend to, and the judge formally denied

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Diddy's request to end this trial.

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes His defense team had filed the motion for a mistrial,

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 1>claiming prosecutorial misconduct. The judge did give props, however, to

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the defense. They had said that there was a they

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>should have been able to end the trial because one

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 1>of the prosecution's witnesses testified to something that Diddy did

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 1>on a day that they proved he couldn't have done

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>because he was in a completely different city. The judge

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>did say, hey, nice Perry Mason moment, but it's not

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>enough grounds for a mistrial. So once testimony he got

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>going yesterday, we heard some wild stuff, including that Diddy

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>apparently likes to pretend he's Michael Jordan.

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Jane claiming that she and Diddy.

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And a male escort would refer to themselves as the

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Trifecta on their hotel nights, Jane playing the role of

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Phobe Bryant, the escort Paul would apparently be Shaquille O'Neal,

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and Diddy would be Jordan. I can't even get my

0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>head around that.

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.440
<v Speaker 2>People are into what they're into and that's fine. It's

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>just we are learning so much. These details are so bizarre,

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>but you're just getting, just really get You're not even

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 2>looking through the window. It's almost like it puts you

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>in the room. Some of the details we have been

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 2>hearing about these personal lives, but that was just one

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>that caught a lot of people's attention. The defense was

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>able to show through text messages that Jane was at

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>times an enthusiastic participant and even had a say in

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>how things would go in these freak colls. That's important

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>because coercion is a big part of this. Was she

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 2>there consensually or not at times? Jane's cross examination is

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 2>expected to last through today, possibly even tomorrow. Robes That

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 2>would put her as almost a full week that she's

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>been on the stand. This will be the one who's

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 2>testified longest.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Real that's right, And everything I've read saying that the

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 1>defense attorneys agreed to a truncated day today because they

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.199
<v Speaker 1>say they'll go they'll continue their cross examination through the

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.839
<v Speaker 1>day tomorrow. So yes, that would put her on the

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>stand for a full week. Court is getting that later

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>start today at one pm.

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, stay with us. Folks on here on

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>this Wednesday Morning Run. You're not fired, but don't let

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>the door hit you on the way out either, Terry Moran. Yes,

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>ABC News has made its call on his future. Also

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 2>coming up, we have got to learn a thing or

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 2>two from Aaron Rodgers about keeping your relationship details private.

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to this Wednesday Morning Rona. Next up on

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the Run, Senior national correspondent Terry Moran is out at

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>ABC News. This comes after the network suspended him earlier

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in the week for posting a now deleted tweet that

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 1>was critical of the President and his staff.

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>That Moran wrote that Trump band Deputy White House Chief

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>of Staff Stephen Miller were world class haters. His words,

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.959
<v Speaker 2>his post said grammatical eras it was written after midnight.

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>He went on to say that Miller's hatreds are his

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 2>spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Then about Trump, he

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 2>is Hatred's only a means to an end, and that

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>end is his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was a lot. So turns out ABC did

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>not have to technically fire Miran because his contract was

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>reportedly and I dare say, conveniently up this Friday, so

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the network said, hey, we just decided not to renew

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.839
<v Speaker 1>it after twenty eight years with ABC News.

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Here was their statement.

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran,

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and based on his recent post, which was a clear

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 1>violation of ABC News policies, we have made the decision

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to not renew at ABC News.

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 3>We hold all of our reporters to the highest.

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism, and we remain committed

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to delivering straight forward, trusted journalism.

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Terry Moran had several recent high profile assignments with the network,

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 2>leading ABC's coverage of the papal conclave in Rome and

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>of course, securing that interview with President Trump back in

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>April that was to discuss Trump's one hundred days in office.

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 2>The administration had called for Moran to be suspended and

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>fired following that tweet. Why How spokesperson said his post

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>was unacceptable and unhinged, says speaks to the distrust that

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the American public has in the legacy media.

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 3>What are the chances that his contract was up on Friday?

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>We as reporters or anchors usually sign two, but sometimes

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>four year deals. I don't know how long his was.

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>But that's fairly remarkable that on. And maybe he knew

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>they weren't going to renew his contract. Maybe he felt

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>like he had the ability to go ahead and say

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>what he wanted to say. It's hard to get into

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>his head. He hasn't made any comments, but the timing

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>is interesting.

0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I think about this totally differently now we know Terry Moran.

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 2>This is not characteristic of him, even the language. If

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 2>he knew his contract now I'm thinking like, was he

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 2>just trying to get out of there? Was he just

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>over it anyway and knew he was going to be leaving?

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 2>And also, we work in this business. How many times

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>did anybody allow your contract to go up to the

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 2>week before or before you start discussing, or before you start,

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>before you're signed, it's usually.

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 3>Done, negotiations might have been going off the rails.

0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>That's usually maybe like a month or two before your

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>contract's up. They usually come, do you start the negotiations?

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>It is The timing now is very, very very interesting

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to me, and yes, makes me think differently about the

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>entire situation.

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and especially look.

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>If you're hoping to stay with the network when your

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:37.960
<v Speaker 1>contract's about to come out. When they ask you to

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>do anything, go anywhere, stay late, you say yes, yes,

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and yes, because you know that's a part of the negotiations.

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, for the final leg of our run, we

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>could all learn a thing or two from Aaron Rodgers

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>on keeping your relationship private. He got married months ago,

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>and guess what, nobody knew.

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 2>So this is a really remarkable thing to pull off,

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 2>considering he is one of the most watched invisible athletes

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. He has a regular TV segment that

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.160
<v Speaker 2>he does. He's a future Hall of Famer, he's a

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 2>former MVP, he's a Super Bowl champion. He just signed

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 2>with the Pittsburgh Steelers, so there was a lot of

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 2>coverage of him where he was gonna go. Everybody's been

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 2>watching this guy for several months, but yesterday he hit

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 2>us with this hit training camp. At the press conference,

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 2>he just kind of casually slid in there that he

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>had gotten married months ago. Yeah.

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>A reporter asked him about a ring that was spotted

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>on his left finger recently. The reporter actually gave him

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 1>an out, suggested it was an AURR ring.

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Rogers said, yeah, it's a wedding ring.

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>The reporter did not seem ready for that answer, because

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>there was really not much of a follow up other

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>than congratulations, how long has it been? And Rogers said

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>he'd been married for a couple of months.

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So who is this lucky mystery lady. Well, we know

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 2>she's lucky and that's it. The rest is a mystery.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations to you, missus Rogers. He has kept the relationship

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 2>pretty private. He only mentioned her in a TV appearance

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that had nothing to do with his relationship. He just

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>said something about the house, and yeah, something right for Brittany,

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and he just kept going and I said, Brittany, it

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>was Brittany. Everybody went crazy and somebody even made a

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 2>joke Britney spears. They laughed it off, and he said, no,

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Brittany with an eye, and that's all we got.

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 3>That's all we have.

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>And it's great because you know, we talk a lot

0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about clickbait here and how annoying it is. If you

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>go and google him, it'll say what we know about

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers's new wife, and then when you read it,

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>they know nothing.

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 3>They know nothing.

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.320
<v Speaker 1>So it just goes to show you everyone wants to

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>act like they got something you can click on.

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 3>But he wins.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.520
<v Speaker 1>No one you know, and he has had several high

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>profile relationships in the press that didn't go well for him,

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think he learned his lesson the hard way.

0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 3>And I love that they get.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>To have their moment, and they had their moment without

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 1>helicopters flying above and drones trying to get pictures.

0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:59.959
<v Speaker 3>They didn't even know the wedding was happening.

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Well done and congratulations should certainly be said. But on

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>this Wednesday before you go, something we'd like for you

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.400
<v Speaker 2>to consider it is our quote of the day.

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I like to go way back to some of

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the original folks who we like to quote, like.

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't know Aristotle.

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Here is what he had to say that we hope

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>will help you throughout your deck. We are what we

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I've heard this one before. It's a doozy people. You know,

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.919
<v Speaker 2>you're just born great, you work at it. Everybody the

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I think the people who are best at things that

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 2>you know what, the height of most professions and things

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>I've seen are the people who work the hardest, who

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 2>are currently working hard, Like nobody had a harder workout

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 2>than Michael Jordan.

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, you got to bring up Michael Jordan.

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to bring up Michael Jordan again. You know

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 2>what I was gonna go with, Kobe. Let me go

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 2>to Lebron. Lebron was not a part of the traffeck.

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.119
<v Speaker 3>Keep it out of the diddy the trial.

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 2>The point there being is I have seen people you

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 2>think they're just good at it. I have witnessed people

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>how hard they work, harder than I could ever imagine

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>for the success they have. And you just know, there's

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a good lesson. But it also applies to a bunch

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, like bad things you do. If you do

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.120
<v Speaker 2>that repeatedly, we become those habits as well.

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's true. It's interesting. I was thinking of must

0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 3>tweeting at three am.

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 1>Whatever you think of him, he is highly successful and

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>he's up at three am tweeting away. So here is

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>your quote of the day, one last time, on this

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 1>hump day. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then,

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 1>is not an act but a habit. Thank you, Aristotle,

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and thank you for listening to us on this Wednesday morning.
