00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: you got today?

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Seventy two? It's getting a little worse each day, but

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring it back tomorrow.

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: Okay, And I didn't wear my ring last night. That's

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: all good. I was doing so feeling pretty good on Friday,

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: though a lot of you would feel pretty good if

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: you knew you had seventy five one hundred dollars coming

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: to you courtesy of your phone company. Yes, class action

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 2: settlement for AT and T customers, you could be eligible

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: for seventy five hundred dollars back. Now, am I not

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: telling the story right? Because they really make you jump

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: through a lot of hoops to get that money.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Yes, well, you have to earn everything you get, right,

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: so they made you earn it, But yes it is.

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: You are eligible if you can prove that you were

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: in some way affected or impacted by their security breach.

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it won't be easy, folks, But yes, you are

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: eligible for the seventy five hundred. Also, everybody is all

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: over the DC mayor right now. The city's been taken

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: over by the Feds. A lot of criticism coming her

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: way because not because of the job she's doing, but

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: because of where she happened to go Martha's Vigion. Yeah,

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: in the middle of the chaos this week she went

29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: to Martha's Vigion. Rose. This is one of those give

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: me a Frickin' break segments. Just people take a beat

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: and we'll explaining where she was and why she was there.

32
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: And I think maybe the criticism should change.

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: No, yes, and the headlines are really misleading. Yes, we'll

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: get into all of that.

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: Also, this morning, that road trip's getting expensive being on

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: the run. All those Democrats they get charged five hundred

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: dollars a day. So those Texas Democrats, yes, they've been

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: on the run six grand right now, if they've been

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: fined every day they've been gone, Wow, six dollars that's

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: not cheap. We'll tell you why they're considering going back

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: and why now some Republicans in California might be the

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: next to be on the run. And roadblock is a

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: clear and present danger. Really that sounds strong.

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: That's according to the Louisiana Attorney General. But when you

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: hear the lawsuit that they have now filed against roadblocks,

46
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: it's very scary. Parents need to be listening.

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: All right. Also, someone with the last name Biden was

48
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: asked about somebody with the last name Trump and started

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: dropping F bombs. I get that story, right.

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: That's exactly righted it.

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: I was misleading as well because I'm talking about Hunter

52
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: Biden talking about Milania Trump. Why was all that necessary?

53
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: We'll get into that.

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: Also, on the run this morning, there's been another death

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: in that Legionaire outbreak here in New York City, and

56
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: DC police just got new orders. Don't follow Pam Bondi's orders.

57
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: That should be fun. And want to boost your podcast listenership,

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: well all you have to do is have Taylor Swift

59
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: on your show.

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that's we've been busting our that's all this strategy,

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: trying to build our podcast empire. That's all we gotta do.

62
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: That's all we need to do.

63
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: So well, hell, we were doing it all wrong. But

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: we'll explain just how big the numbers were. You know

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: what we're talking about.

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Yes, but we do begin our run on this Friday

67
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: with Trump and Putin. It's happening today in Alaska. They

68
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: are highly anticipated, high stakes face to face meeting scheduled

69
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: to start at three thirty Eastern time today and it

70
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: could be over by three thirty two.

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember the President said that he'd know in the

72
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: first two minutes of their face to face meeting whether

73
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: or not a peace deal would be possible. The White

74
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: House has tempered expectations about what will come out of

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: this meeting, but still this hope that this meeting could

76
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: be a significant step towards ending that three and a

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: half year war between Russia and Ukraine.

78
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the meeting is happening at an air force base

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: in Alaska. The two men will meet one on one

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: and then they'll have a working lunch with their delegations,

81
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: and then Putin and Trump will hold a joint press conference.

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Everybody wait for it. That should be good. That is

83
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: must appointment television. Oh today, our hole day needs to

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: be scheduled right around that, all right, Next upon the run.

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: D C is fighting back after the Trump administration tried

86
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: to appoint an emergency police Commissioner of the DC Metropolitan Police.

87
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: President Trump this week declared a public safety emergency and

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: ordered eight hundred National Guard troops to the city to

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: deter crime. He also invoked emergency powers, which allows the

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: government to federalize the DC Police.

91
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: Yes, so he's a put Attorney General Pam Bondi in

92
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: charge of this whole effort. So she has now appointed

93
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: the current DEA administrator, Terry Cole, as the new emergency

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: Commissioner of DC Police, essentially giving him control over DC Police.

95
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: The city's response to that, slow your roll and a

96
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: letter the city's top lawyer reminds the city's police chief

97
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: you are still the police chief, and instructs the police

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 2: chief to ignore any order about that coming from Attorney

99
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: General Bondy that says anything otherwise.

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: Possibly go wrong. In his words, the Bondie order is

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: unlawful and you are not legally obligated to follow it.

102
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: The city's argument is that the law doesn't call for

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: an emergency commissioner, it only requires the city to make

104
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: DC Police available on their president's orders.

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: It's getting legal up in here, all right. Meanwhile, all

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: this is going on in DC. I know you've turned

107
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: your television on and looked at that screen. You cannot

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: get away from the pictures of seeing National Guard troops

109
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: on the ground in DC. So all that was going

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: on in the city, the city's mayor went to Martha's Vineyard. Yes,

111
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: in the midst of a federal takeover of her city

112
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: and a crackdown on crime, Mayor Muriel Bowser went to

113
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: Martha's vineyard. The headlines are everywhere, and a lot of

114
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: them aren't kind of course, as you could imagine roads,

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: but they're using words like she escapes, she skips town.

116
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: The mayor is vacationing in Martha's vinyard. Why the chaos ensues?

117
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: While the mayor herself explained why she went to Martha's vineyard.

118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: And she did this in a well laid out tweet.

119
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: Rote all right here, we're going to quote her here

120
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: from the mayor. Friends. As you know, I'm both a

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: mom and a mayor, raising a delightful seven year old

122
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: on my own. This week, I canceled a scheduled family

123
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: trip to lead our city's crisis management efforts. I also

124
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: made the more difficult decision to not disrupt my daughter's

125
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: camp plans. I needed to get her on Wednesday after

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: work and bring her home, which I will do tomorrow.

127
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: I am in constant contact with my senior team and

128
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: have been in constant consultation with our partners throughout a

129
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: short swing out of the district. So end of story. There,

130
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: she's gone. I guess that would put her gone for

131
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: two nights as she traveled to Martha's Vineyard to get

132
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: her daughter.

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: Should that be the end of it?

134
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it should be.

135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what do you do in this state? Is

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: not like the city is on fire necessarily, right.

137
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: She's a mom first and a mayor second.

138
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: But where is the criticism ever supposed to come? We

139
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: talk about this, and she is balancing and doing the

140
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: best she can. She's on her own, doesn't have any

141
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: other help, just any Maybe people didn't look into it

142
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: well enough. You know what if she had gone to

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland to pick up her daughter, No, it might not

144
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: be the same headline. Correct?

145
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Correct? Martha's Vineyard sounds very exclusive, very yes, so it's

146
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: easy to throw stones.

147
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: All right, We'll continue on the run here on this

148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: Friday morning with First Lady Milania Trump. She demanded an

149
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: apology from Hunter Biden for alleging that Jeffrey Epstein introduced

150
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: her to her now husband Donald Trump. Her lawyers even

151
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: sent a letter to Biden calling his claim untrue and

152
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: extremely salacious, and threatened a billion with a b dollar

153
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: lawsuit if he refused to retract it.

154
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: So yesterday, Hunter Biden responded with an expletive. Specifically, he said,

155
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: and I won't say the word F that, but he

156
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: actually said the F word. F that. That's not going

157
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: to happen. Biden returned to Andrew Callahan's YouTube program on Thursday,

158
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: where last month he made those comments about how the

159
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: First Lady and the President met.

160
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: Yden said he was only going by what people are

161
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: saying and cited a Trump biographer who wrote about the

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: introduction in his book. The Daily Beast even took down

163
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: its article about the book's claim after receiving a similar

164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: letter from Malania Trump's lawyer, and issued an apology for

165
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: any confusion or misunderstanding.

166
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: So Biden went on to say that if Milania and

167
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: President Trump want to sit down for a deposition and

168
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein, if

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: the President and the First Lady want to do that,

170
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to provide them the platform to

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: be able to do it. So he's welcoming this lawsuit

172
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: with the depositions that will ensue. A spokesperson, this is

173
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: actually kind of funny. A spokesperson from Malania Trump responded

174
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden's comments, stating that the true account of

175
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: how the First Lady met President Trump is in her

176
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: best selling book.

177
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: Milania put that in there.

178
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I thought that was kind of funny. And by

179
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: the way, in her book it does say that they

180
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: met Milania and Trump meant at a nineteen ninety eight

181
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: fashion Week party in New York, and they were introduced

182
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: by a modeling agent, not by Jeffrey Epstein.

183
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, continuing that on this Friday, run with

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: the Texas Democrats, who've been on the run for a

185
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, now they might finally be heading home.

186
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 2: They've been on the run since August third, when they

187
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: left their state in mass in order to prevent state

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: Republicans from passing a redistricting bill that could potentially give

189
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: Republicans five more seats in Congress.

190
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: The runaway Democrats put out a statement yesterday laying out conditions,

191
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: if you will, for their return to the state. At

192
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: this point, they know the jig is up and they're

193
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: trying to save face and claim some victory of some kind.

194
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: The victory, I guess is that they got national attention

195
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: on the issue.

196
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: Yes, they brought attention.

197
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: They did do that, They absolutely did that. Well, the

198
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: unfortunate part of all of this is, you know what's

199
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: awaiting them when they get back to Texas the exact

200
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: same issue that they were running away from.

201
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: See, here's the thing. They were staying on the run

202
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: until the special session ran out. It's thirty days. So

203
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: that special session is slated to end today, and you

204
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: know what Republican is going to do when it ends,

205
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: immediately call another one that starts today and once again

206
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: take up the redistricting legislation. So unless state Democrats want

207
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: to literally stay on the run for the next year

208
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: or so, this is going to keep happening over and

209
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: over again because they can keep calling special sessions and

210
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: that's it. And it's getting expensive. If it's five hundred

211
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: a day, do some general math there. Fifty of them

212
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: been on the run for two weeks, it's like three

213
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: hundred grand. Wow, they've been charged.

214
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: State of Texas just got a boost to its budget,

215
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, California wants in on all of the

216
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: redistricting action. Governor Gavin Newsom announced the Election Rigging Response Act,

217
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: which is meant to put the state on the path

218
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: to redrawing their congressional districts and create enough new seats

219
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: for Democrats in order to offset any Republican gains from

220
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: the redistricting will be going on likely in Texas.

221
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: Hope this is not what happens every state. Now, Republican

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: and Democratic are going to start this fight over numbers.

223
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: All right. It's a bit of an uphill climb though

224
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: for the folks in California, and they are all up

225
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: against the clock a little bit. In California, there's an

226
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: independent commission that controls the redistricting process, not the legislature.

227
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: So they first have to pass legislation to circumvent that process,

228
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: and then they have to put the issue before voters,

229
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: and they have to do all this. They try to

230
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: get it on the November ballot because you need it

231
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: pass this year in order to impact the midterms next year. Ah,

232
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: so that's what we're doing.

233
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Good luck to them all right. Next up on the Run,

234
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: we are heading to Manhattan, where city officials announced another

235
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: legionnaire's death and a growing number of cases. Four people

236
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: have now died, ninety nine others have been sickened. Seventeen

237
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: of them remain hospitalized from this outbreak.

238
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: Legionnaire's disease calls its flu like symptoms. It's treatable with antibiotics,

239
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: but if left untreated, it can lead to shock and

240
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: multi organ failure. Health officials say they have identified twelve

241
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 2: cooling towers that are responsible for spreading the disease. You

242
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: get Legionnaire's disease by breathing in contaminated water vapor.

243
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: So mayor Eric Adams actually for the first time revealed

244
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: which buildings in Harlem are actually affected. Kind of scary here.

245
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: The Harlem Hospital is one of them. Another building houses

246
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: of whole foods with lots of retail stores. There's another

247
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: building with medical offices. So I was imagining these were

248
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: apartment buildings, residents buildings, but they're not. So a lot

249
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: of people have come in and out, and if you're

250
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: breathing the air, you could possibly be breathing in Legionnaire's disease.

251
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: That's scary. Now, Adam said, all but one cooling tower

252
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: have been cleaned and that final tower will be finished.

253
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: That that cleaning later today, so they say, by the

254
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: end of the day today all the water towers will

255
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: be cleaned and should not have Legionnaire's disease in them.

256
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: But we shall see.

257
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this

258
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: Friday round. When we come back. Louisiana says that that

259
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: game that your kids love, right, Roadblocks, wonderful app it's

260
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: actually a clear and present danger to your children. Will

261
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: get into that. Also, you might be eligible for seventy

262
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars from AT and T, but they're going

263
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: to make you work for it. And it turns out

264
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: all you gotta do to have a successful podcast is

265
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: get Taylor Swift on it. All right, let's continue on

266
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: our run. Now, let's head down to the Bayou. Louisiana

267
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: or the state is suing Roadblocks because it claims the

268
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: gaming platform has become the perfect place for pedophiles. Their words,

269
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: Louisiana's Attorney General maintains Roadblocks intentionally or recklessly designed a

270
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: platform with no age verification process, and that allows people

271
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: to create accounts with fake birthdays.

272
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: So that means adults can easily pose as children and

273
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: kids can easily say they're older bypassing the controls for

274
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: users under the age of thirteen. So Roadblocks has a

275
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: huge number of games and experiences if you don't know

276
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: that users actually can personally design along with real time messaging.

277
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: The lawsuit points to a number of sexually explicit experiences

278
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: that have been created that are on the platform now

279
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: and name some of them just to give you an idea.

280
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: One of them is called Escape to Epstein Island. Another

281
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: one Diddy Party, another one public bathroom simulator vibe.

282
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 2: That's some like something a child is even aware Escape

283
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: to Epstein Island, Like, why that just doesn't seem like

284
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: some of the kid would.

285
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: No, an adult who's posing as a kid puts something

286
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: like this on there, and I don't think younger kids

287
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: probably don't even know what Epstein Island is. They think

288
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: it's some fun escape to an island and jumps on it.

289
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 2: Oh againness the Adoorney General I had this to say

290
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: about it. Every parent should be aware of the clear

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: and present danger posed to their children by Roadblocks, so

292
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: they can prevent the unthinkable from ever happening in their

293
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: own home. According to Roadblocks and report, twenty percent of

294
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: its eighty two million users are under the age of nine.

295
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: That's scary right now. Roadblocks wouldn't comment specifically on this lawsuit,

296
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: but it did say this, while no system is perfect,

297
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: Roadblocks has implemented rigorous technology and enforcement safeguards, including restrictions

298
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: on sharing personal information links and user to user image sharing.

299
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: The safety of our community is a top priority, all right.

300
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: Continuing on our run now on this Friday morning, a

301
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy seven million dollars settlement against AT

302
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: and T and seventy five hundred dollars of that could

303
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: be yours. The company settled a couple of class action

304
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: lawsuits related to two data breaches in twenty twenty four,

305
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: in which customer birthdays and social Security numbers were taken

306
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: and call and text logs were also exposed.

307
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: That is scary stuff. The company says. People impacted by

308
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: the first breach are eligible to receive a payment of

309
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: up to five thousand dollars. Those impacted by the second

310
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: breach get up to twenty five hundred dollars. Customers should

311
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: get a notice via email letting you know if you

312
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: were impacted by the breach and how to file your claim,

313
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: which you have to do by November eighteenth.

314
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: Sounds simple enough. However, the company says, you have to

315
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: prove you deserve the money. So here's the thing. You

316
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: have to show you have credible financial losses first, and

317
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: then you have to show that those losses are quote

318
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: fairly traceable to the AT and T data breaches.

319
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: That's tough when you're supposed to be your own PI,

320
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: your own investigator. Like, how do you know?

321
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: That seems like a high bar, right.

322
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the big catch. There always is a catch.

323
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: The good luck folks, all right.

324
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: For the final leg of our run. Turns out having

325
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift on your podcast helps boost your podcast like

326
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: a lot. The latest episode of the Kelsey Brothers New

327
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Heights podcast featuring Taylor has, as of this recording, racked

328
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: up nearly fifteen million views.

329
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: It's the most popular episode of the podcast ever, duh,

330
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: and according to Spotify, it generated a three thousand percent

331
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: increase in new listeners and the number of female listeners

332
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: jumped six hundred and eighteen percent. Taylor announced, of course,

333
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: her new album The Life of a Showgirl on the

334
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: episode and talked for more than two hours, and this

335
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: apparently also the longest interview she's ever done.

336
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it makes sense, why, how and where

337
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: she did it? Was it an interview, It was a conversation.

338
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: It was a safe conversation, and that's why she did it.

339
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: But the episode was so popular the live stream if

340
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: you guys were watching, you know, it crashed near the

341
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: end of the podcast, right when she pulled out her

342
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: new album cover. The New Heights X account tweeted this,

343
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: shout out all the ninety two percent in swifties for

344
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: actually helping us break the internet.

345
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so ratulations At some point because we do a

346
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: lot of relationship episodes and talk here, I would love

347
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: to go through it and find all the relationship nuggets

348
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: and signs and green flags, as they say. I just

349
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: I haven't seen them really interact other than on a

350
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: football field.

351
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: People. There were even some mean headlines and we know

352
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: what this feels like. Oh that they were discussing with

353
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: their PDA, and I was just like, people are so

354
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: jealous when people are happy. I really believe that we've

355
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: had some of that incoming as well as like if

356
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: two people are happy and are touching each other, it's

357
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: not gross or they weren't even being gross. They kissed. Oh,

358
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: people were upset that they kissed. They were Yeah, and

359
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: I just thought, if you are angry at love, you

360
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: need to look within.

361
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,480
