Good 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: morning everyone, thanks for joining us for today's morning run. 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, May twenty eighth. I'm Amy Ropot and I'm TJ. 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 2: Holmes. And on this morning's run, Surely that Trump versus 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: Harvard feud isn't going to escalate further? Well, hoh my beer. 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: Trump has now ordered the federal government to cancel all business. 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: With the university, and NPR is suing Trump after the 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: administration took away its federal funding, accusing the outlet of bias. 9 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: Also on the morning, Ron Trump has ordered California to 10 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: stop a transgender girl from competing in a track and 11 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: field competition this weekend or else. 12 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: Plus this morning, a second crypto investor has been arrested 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: in that disturbing story out of Manhattan, accused of torturing 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: a man for his bitcoin password. Also this morning, it 15 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: was a hell of a day in the Ditty trial 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: as the third week of testimony resumed with just one 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: witness who said did he threaten to kill her? 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: And others and new charges and details this morning in 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: that brazen vehicle attack in Liverpool where a man sent 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: more than fifty people to the hospital. Plus, the government 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: is no longer recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children and 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: pregnant women. 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: And our final story on today's run will be this 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: head's up for you to pack lighter starting today. Southwest, 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: an airline known for letting bags fly for free, is 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 2: now the airline that used to lead bags fly for free. 27 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: A big change of Southwest. I know a lot of 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: people fly this airline because of that. Specifically, they liked 29 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: that the bags fly free. 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to be a good mantra 31 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: for them going forward. We're the airline that used to 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: let you take your bags on for free. All right, Well, 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: we will have more on that coming up. But we 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: begin our run in Washington, d C. Another day. Another 35 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: massive escalation between Cresident Trump and Harvard University. And when 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: we say escalation, we mean a complete severance of the 37 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: government's long standing business relationship with Harvard. 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: Everything must go. It's over Trump. The administration has just 39 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: dumped Harvard. Essentially. They say they are going to cancel 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: all of the federal government's remaining contracts with the Ivy 41 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: League school, completely sever everything in their business relationship. The 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: contracts left are around one hundred million dollars, and that 43 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 2: sounds like a drop in the bucket compared to what's 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: already been cut. You remember, starting last month that Trump 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 2: administration had frozen roughly three point two billion dollars worth 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: of grants and contracts with Harvard and has also banned 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: foreign students from attending the school. 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: And a reminder as to why all of this is happening, Well, 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: the White House has accused Harvard of allowing anti Semitic 50 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: behavior on campus. They've accused Harvard of liberal bias and 51 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: continuing to use racial considerations in its admission policies. Harvard, 52 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: by the way, has filed multiple lawsuits against the administry 53 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: to restore its federal funding and to reinstate its right 54 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: to enroll international students. So this is far far from over. 55 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: Continuing on the run here, and let's continue with people 56 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: who are suing the Trump administration. This time it's in PR, 57 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: claiming the Trump administration attempts to defund the network is 58 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: a clear violation of the Constitution their words. A lawsuit 59 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: now by NPR goes on to say that Trump's executive 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: order threatens to, or rather threatens, the existence of public 61 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 2: radio in this country. That millions of Americans rely on 62 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: for vile information. 63 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: Trump's executive orders, signed at the beginning of this month, 64 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: goes after both NPR and PBS. It accuses both public 65 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: media outlets of bias and instructs the Corporation for Public 66 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: Broadcasting to stop funding them. The White House reacted to 67 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: news of this lawsuit by reiterating its claim that the 68 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Public Broadcasting is creating media to support a particular political 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: party on the taxpayer's dime. 70 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: The MPR's lawsuit says the Trump's order violates the First Amendment, 71 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: known as viewpoint based discrimination. Public radio and TV stations 72 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: receive about five hundred and thirty five million dollars of 73 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: your money each year to produce educational and cultural programming. 74 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: PBS reportedly getting ready to file a lawsuit as well 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: against the Trump administration. 76 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: All right, let's continue with lawsuits and threats and threats 77 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: of lawsuits and threats of stopping funding. All right. Next 78 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: up on our run, President Trump is threatening to take 79 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: federal funding from California permanently. It all depends on what 80 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: happens at the state's track and field championships this weekend. 81 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: Say what well a transgender girl has qualified to compete 82 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: in several events at those championships. Trump has taken issue 83 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: with that and ordered the state to stop the athlete 84 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: from competing or else now. He issued this warning in 85 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: a lengthy social media post, which started with what is 86 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: admittedly one of our favorite knick as for his political rivals. 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: We're not saying we support it. We're not saying it's 88 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: anything other than rude. But he has this way over 89 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: years of giving people nicknames publicly, and this is one 90 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: that I don't know. It's a it's something about it, 91 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 2: it's catchy. I think you did a good job on 92 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 2: those one. 93 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if Governor Newsom likes this one as well. Well. 94 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and again, please everyone, these are Trump's words, 95 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: not mine. Trump wrote this on social media. California, under 96 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: the leadership of radical left democrat Gavin Neoscum, continues to 97 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: illegally allow men to play in women's sports. He went 98 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: on to say the athlete was a transitioned male athlete 99 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: who was a less than average competitor. As a female, 100 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. This is not fair 101 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: and totally demeaning to women and girls. That was in 102 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: all caps, by the way. 103 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: The President then went on to put them on notice 104 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: that large scale federal funding, whatever that means, will be 105 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: held back, maybe permanently, if California goes against the President's 106 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 2: executive order that borrows transgender athletes from competing in girls 107 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: and women's sports. He also mentioned that he was going 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: to talk to Governor Knew some about the situation. No 109 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: word on if that conversation took place yesterday, But the 110 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: governor out there has actually gone against his party, gone 111 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: against progressives. He's come out recently and said that it 112 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: is unfair for transgender athletes to compete in girls and 113 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: women's sports. He, of course, on the national stage, fully 114 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: expected to throw his hat into the ring to be president, 115 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: so this battle is probably good for him in a 116 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: lot of ways publicly to go against President Trump. 117 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: Right, But will he go against President Trump if he 118 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: actually supports what Trump is saying, So that will be 119 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: interesting to see what he does, if anything, based on 120 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: this latest threat by President Trump. 121 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: The one's kind of catchy, even some of the New 122 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: York tabloids that you might not like, but every once 123 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: in a while you look and go, Okay, that's a 124 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: good headline. That's kind of what this feels like with 125 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: Trump newscomb. 126 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: Okay, that's anytime he can say that he feels good, right, 127 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: it's like cathartic for him, all right. Next up on 128 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: the run, we're going to head some men Manattan where 129 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: a second man surrendered to police yesterday. In that bizarre 130 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: and horrific case where police say an Italian tourist was 131 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: tortured for nearly three weeks inside a luxury Soho apartment, 132 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: all for his bitcoin fortune. 133 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: So police have now charged cryptocurrency investor thirty two year 134 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: old William Duplessi with kidnapping, assault, unlawful imprisonment, and criminal 135 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: possession of a weapon. Duplessi's arrest comes days after police 136 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: charged another crypto entrepreneur, thirty seven year old John Woltz, 137 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: in the same alleged crime. 138 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: So, this alleged victim is twenty eight years old. He 139 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: told police he went to the home of the suspect 140 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: and was then tortured by both men. The man says 141 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: that to beat him, they drugged him, he says used 142 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: electric shock. He says they hanged him off a ledge 143 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: and repeatedly threatened to kill him, putting a gun up 144 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: to his head. 145 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: Remind me again, Robes, how this went on for days, 146 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: almost three weeks?

They took him three weeks 149 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: to give it up. If he's going through all us, 150 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: that's incredible. When they finally went to get his computer, 151 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: he said, that's when he was able to escape and 152 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: get to a traffic officer for help.

You will remember. Her name is Capricorn Clark. 172 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: She was Sean Combs's assistant and global brand director for 173 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: many many years. She also worked as creative director to 174 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: Cassie Ventura.

Clark gave first hand accounts 176 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: of alleged violence, drug use, abuse, and threats, including Combs 177 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: allegedly threatening to kill her and others. 178 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: Now She was described by several observers in the courtroom 179 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: as crying uncontrollably at times as she recounted certain details 180 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: of her time working with Combs. The focus of Clark's 181 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 2: testimony an incident in twenty eleven after Combs found out 182 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: that Ventura was dating rapper Kid Cutty Cuddy testified last 183 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: week in the trial. Clark testified that Combs came to 184 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: her house in a rage and with a gun in hand, 185 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: forced her to get dressed and to come with him, and, 186 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: according to Clark, Diddy said we're going to kill Cuddy. 187 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: She said she was then forced against her will to 188 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: go with Diddy and his security guard to kid Cutty's house. 189 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: After the incident, Clark claimed she witnessed Comb's kicking Ventura 190 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: repeatedly while she was balled up on the floor in 191 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: a fetal position and crying silently. She said she called 192 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: Ventura's mom and told her quote, he's beating the shit 193 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: out of your daughter, to which Ventura's mom responded, I 194 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: can't call police, but you can please help my daughter. 195 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: That is terrible. 196 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: That's another one of those stories, the incidents that come out. 197 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: There were so many steps along the way that people 198 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: just didn't get help. They were desperate to get help 199 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: along the way, but that was a tough story to hear. 200 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 2: The prosecution did update the judge yesterday saying they are 201 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: now ahead of schedule. Thought they were going to finish 202 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: in six weeks. They now say they could be done 203 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: in five. We do expect today four more witnesses to 204 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: be on the stand, including an LA officer, a fire investigator, 205 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: a former stylist and an alleged Comb's victim. 206 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, we're going to 207 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: head across the pond to Liverpool with an update to 208 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: that horrific attack on a city street. A fifty three 209 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: year old British man has now been charged with attempted 210 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: murder dangerous driving offenses. And this is their words. It's 211 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: a little bit strange, but it must be a British ism. 212 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: Driving while unfit through drugs, probably like a duy, right 213 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: after he drove his Ford Galaxy vehicle into a crowd 214 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: of people celebrating their football team's Premier League victory. 215 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Police also have updated now the number of people 216 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: injured in that attack to sixty five. Fifty of them 217 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: had to be taken to the hospital, we're told now 218 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: good news here just eleven people still in the hospital, 219 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: all said to be in stable condition. Police say the 220 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: suspect gained access to the street filled with thousands of 221 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: revelers by following an ambulance. 222 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to this. A roadblock which they had up 223 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: for this street celebration was temporarily lifted to allow emergency 224 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: workers in that ambulance access to reach a bystander who 225 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: was suffering from a suspected heart attack. So because this 226 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: guy was feeling chest pains, they wanted to get emergency 227 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: workers to him. This man, this fifty three year old man, 228 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: followed the ambulance into the crowd, and police have said 229 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: they've maintained this is not an act of terrorism, but 230 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: they have not given any further details or specifics on 231 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: why this happened, what the suspects motive could have. 232 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: Been, But it sounds like a conscious decision to you 233 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: have to make the effort to follow. 234 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: Those absolutely absolutely, and this was also interesting the details 235 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: that came out. They were able to stop him. They 236 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: said he was like stopping and starting. He wasn't going 237 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: at a high rate of speed, and that's thankfully why 238 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: it appears no one has died or succume from their injuries. 239 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: But it was stopped because people started swarming the vehicle 240 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: and started beating on it. They actually even broke his 241 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: back windshield and that eventually caused him to stop. But 242 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: police and people were just swarming it, and that's what 243 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: it was able to make the awful attack end. 244 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this 245 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: Wednesday morning line. When we come back. COVID vaccine, Kids 246 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: and pregnant women don't need them. Also coming up, they 247 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: say nobody gets a free ride. Well, that now includes 248 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: your bags on Southwest. We continue. Now on this Wednesday morning, 249 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 2: Ron and the CDC is changing its recommendations for who 250 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: should get COVID vaccines. Kids and pregnant women are no 251 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 2: longer on the list. 252 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior made that announcement 253 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: in a short video posted to X yesterday and said 254 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: this puts us one step closer to realizing President Trump's 255 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: promise to make America healthy again. The change caught a 256 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: lot of doctors off guards, including at the American Academy 257 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: of Pediatrics, which has often consulted on any changes to 258 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: vaccine schedules for children. 259 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: Okay, so why would the change come about, Well, Kennedy 260 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 2: simply said, there's a lack of data to support continuing 261 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: to recommend vaccinations for children six months and above. Now, yes, 262 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: most Americans out there these days are updated. They haven't 263 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: been getting boosters or not getting COVID vaccines. Fine, that's 264 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: great that we've moved past a certain point of the pandemic. 265 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: But here is the problem now Rhodes, if they don't 266 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: recommend it, insurance might not cover it. So you might 267 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: have people out there who do really want it, or 268 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: have a reason or whatever condition immunocompromise, so they need 269 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: the COVID vaccine, and now it might not be paid 270 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: for by insurance. So that's a major concern. 271 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: All right. Now, for the final leg of our run, 272 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: your bags will no longer fly free. As of today, 273 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines is ending its long standing policy of allowing 274 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: customers to have two free check bags. 275 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: And this policy, you might be wondering how long has 276 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: it been in place. It has been in place since, 277 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: oh forever. But as of today, anyone who books a 278 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: Southwest flight will have to pay for or checked bags. 279 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: The first one is going to cost you thirty five bucks, 280 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: the second one an extra ten dollars. Now, this is 281 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: not the only major change coming to Southwest. They're also 282 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: going to end ropes the open seating policy. This is 283 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: supposed to change pretty soon. Now. A lot of people 284 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: only flew that airline because of the bags fly for free. 285 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 2: I don't fly it because of that policy. 286 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: Open seating, first comefort service always stressful. 287 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: I will that is the reason I absolutely will not 288 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 2: fly Southwest. Look, if this is going to be a. 289 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: Change, Hey, I'm curious and you're a light packer, so 290 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: this shouldn't be a problem for you. Yeah, and they 291 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: also announced that change fist policy for portable batteries as well. 292 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: They're making all sorts of changes over at Southwest. Here's 293 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: what they're thinking is they think these bag fees could 294 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: bring in an extra one point five billion dollars. Sounds 295 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: aweso in fees, right, that's great. However, estimates show it 296 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: could cost them more than that because people aren't going 297 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: to be flying Southwest anymore because of the change in policies, 298 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: So they'll have to see if yeah, one cost offsets 299 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: the other. Who knows. 300 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: It's incredible people do. Look, that was my one reason. 301 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: Somebody could say, I don't have to cost spend extra 302 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: money on bags. Southwest is my airline. Where are they 303 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: supposed to do now? There's no what other incentive do 304 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: they have? They can go shop anywhere if everybody's going 305 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: to charge them for the bags. 306 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, what made Southwest special is now going away. 307 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: And now the color of the planes also make them special. 308 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: You always know that, certainly, certainly do all right, well, 309 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: we would like you to consider this as you go 310 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: about your day today. It is our quote of the day. 311 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: When you judge another, you do not define them, You 312 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: define yourself. 313 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? This is from Wayne Dye, or self 314 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: help author and motivational speaker. He was brought to mind 315 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: we have an upcoming episode that we're really excited about. 316 00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: But this particular self help author was the goo to 317 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: our guests, and she reminded me of how much I 318 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: love what this man has to say. His quotes and 319 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 1: his teachings and his writings are so inspirational. And I 320 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: hadn't seen this one before, but it makes so much sense. 321 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: We're so quick to judge other people, but it really 322 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: doesn't actually say anything about them. It says more about you. 323 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: Ain't that the truth? 324 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: Isn't it? 325 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: Be careful today, folks, when you even have a thought 326 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: come to your mind that you want to judge somebody. 327 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, stop, who do you want to be? And maybe 328 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: look inward instead of outwards. So we'll give it to 329 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: you one more time as you go about your day today, 330 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: food for thought. When you judge another, you do not 331 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: define them, You define yourself. That we hope you have 332 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: a wonderful Wednesday. Everyone, I mean. 333 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: Meet robots and I'm TJ. Holmes.
