15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: Also, former President Biden admits it's his fault. Yeah, he

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: takes responsibility for President Trump being in office and believes

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: he could have won had he stayed in the race. Also,

Speaker 2: travelers listen up from collisions to near missus, to massive

19

00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: it is going to fix our nation's air traffic control problem.

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 2: But it's not going to happen immediately.

22

Speaker 1: Plus Next on the Run, Bill Gates says he is

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: accelerating his timeline to give away all of his money.

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: It was supposed to happen after he died.

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,279
Speaker 3: And also on the run this morning.

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Last night, did you catch it, the Laney Wilson Show

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: took place.

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: It's also known.

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: As the Country Music Awards, but it has become her show.

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: Who wrote she did it once again? She is wildly impressive,

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: just her hold on country music. Right now, we'll get

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: into country music to big Night.

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, looking forward to that. But we begin our

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: run in Rome, where we have a new pope, and yes,

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: for the first time in Vatican history, he is American.

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: His name Pope Leo the fourteenth.

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: He used to be called Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. Yet

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: the sixty nine year old is originally from Chicago.

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: So after that white.

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: Smoke rose up from the chimney in the Sistine Chapel

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: just after one o'clock Eastern yesterday, Pope Leo came to

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica and addressed a crowd

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: of more than one hundred and fifty thousand people. His

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: first words is, Pope, this is the first greeting of

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: the Risen Christ. May the peace be with you. This

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: is the peace of the Risen Christ.

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: He spoke mostly in Italian, some in Spanish, but nothing

50
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: in his native English. He referred to Pope Francis's Easter

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: address the day before he died, saying this we still

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: hold in our ears, that weak, yet ever courageous voice

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: of Pope Francis. As he blessed Rome, who gave his

54
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: blessing to the world, to the whole world. Pope Leo

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: asked his followers to build bridges through dialogue and to

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: be one single people, always in peace.

57
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: He was most recently a bishop in northern Peru, even

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: has dual citizenship citizenship in Peru in US, but of

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: course the roots are in Chicago. President Trump was quick

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: to congratulate the new pope, posting on social media that

61
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: what a great honor for our country. I look forward

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: to meeting Pope Leo the fourteenth. It will be a

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: very meaningful moment.

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: And of course, famous Chicagoans chimed in. I loved what

65
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson posted on x saying, everything Dope,

66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: including the Pope, comes from Chicago. Congratulations to the first

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: American Pope, Leo the fourteenth. We hope to welcome you

68
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: back home soon.

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 2: Even that not I like that. This they're already talking about.

70
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: This pope is going to be a pop culture pope

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: in a way. That's everybody. American culture is everywhere.

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: Everybody loves him.

73
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: But he now is like a homeboy in a lot

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: of yeahs. Even this his fandom we're going to get

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: into in a second. But you talk about the famous Chicagoans.

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: Why it went the mayor and then Barack Obama. I

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: don't know, Rose, but the other famous guy from Chicago

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: you might have heard up. He put on a message

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: as well, saying, quote, Michelle and I send our congratulates

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: to a fellow Chicago and his holiness, Pope Leo the fourteenth.

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: This is a historic day for the United States, and

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: we will pray for him as it begins the sacred

83
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example

84
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: for so many regardless of faith. That's a good point, Rose,

85
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: We should always remember about the Pope. He represents more

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: than we always say. He's the leader of the one

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: point four billion Catholics. He's a lot too more than that.

88
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Oh, he sets the tone for the world, truly on

89
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: the moral path that we should all be on, or

90
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: at least that he says we should all be on.

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: You know it even brought together to the historic and

92
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: current enemies. Both President Zelenski and Putin congratulated the new

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Popa within moments of each other, and that a fun

94
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: reaction from the President of Villanova saying, not in his

95
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: wildest dreams did he ever expect that a Villanova alum

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: would become pope. Pope Leo graduated from Villanoa University back

97
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy seven with a bachelor's degree in math.

98
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: This has the Okay, I'm going to look it up.

99
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: It has to be the first university ever have a

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: national championship and a pope.

101
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: We should look at.

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that is true.

103
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: Going to the Vatican, the Pope is going to be

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: busy over the next several days. Yeah, he doesn't get

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: the rest now that he's won the election. Earlier this morning,

106
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: Pope Leo celebrated Mass in the Sistine Chapel. Then on

107
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: Sunday he's going to recite a prayer from the balcony

108
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: of Saint Peter's Basilica.

109
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: And then on Monday morning, this will be very interesting.

110
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: The new Pope is going to speak to accredited journalists

111
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: where he is expected to give a prepared speech. We

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: all cannot wait for that. Also, the Empire State Building

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: here in New York City shined last night golden white

114
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: in honor of Pope Leo the fourteenth.

115
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to continue our run here talking

116
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: about the Pope, but a lot of weird sports headlines.

117
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: I say weird. It's only weird.

118
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: That we're talking about the Pope and talking about sports

119
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: in the same sentence.

120
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: Because we're talking about America.

121
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: Because we're talking about America. That's okay, simple enough. But

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: as soon as folks heard that he was from Chicago,

123
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: naturally the next question to be asked, Cubs or white socks. Well,

124
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: the Cubs spoke up pretty quickly, in particular on social media,

125
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: and that got a lot of attention.

126
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, they posted a picture of the marquee at Wrigley

127
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: Field which read, hey, Chicago, he's a Cubs fan. Even

128
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: Illinois Senator Dick Durbin was reportedly telling people, I hear

129
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: he's a Cubs fan. It was reported on Chicago radio

130
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: as well, and.

131
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: They were all wrong. But don't take our word for it.

132
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: Take it from the New Pope's brother who told a

133
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: local TV station that his brother is absolutely a White

134
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: Sox fan and has always been. He said they actually

135
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: came up together and they would go to games. So

136
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good source.

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like he is a trusted source. Indeed.

138
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: So then the White Sox changed their marquee to say

139
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: the new Pope is actually a White Sox fan, and

140
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: later put out this statement family always knows best, and

141
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: it sounds like Pope Leo the fourteenth long lifelong fandom

142
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: falls a little closer to thirty fifth and shield. Some

143
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: things are bigger than baseball, and in this case, we're

144
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: glad to have a White Sox fan represented at the Vatican.

145
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: A pin stripes White Sox jersey with his name on it,

146
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: and a half and a hat. Sorry I can't read,

147
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: so he's got a jersey and a hat are already

148
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: on the way to roam. This will be so interesting

149
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: to see how the White sox do will they have

150
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: divine terrible? They've been terrible, so things could change, is

151
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: my point.

152
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: If it does, then I'm gonna get on board and

153
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: i might convert.

154
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: This actually is the case.

155
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: But we have another sports connection to tell you about

156
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: for pop Leo the fourteenth. This one has to do

157
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: with the New York Knicks. Knicks fans are claiming him

158
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: right now as well, and believe they've given what's currently

159
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: happening with the team. His election can't be a coincidence. Okay,

160
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: this one, Robes takes a little more explaining a little

161
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: more of a deep dot.

162
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: That's right. The Knicks are playing the Boston Celtics in

163
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference semifinals. They were not the betting favorite

164
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: to win the series, but are now up two to

165
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: oh after they improbably won the first two games on

166
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: the road and had to come back from twenty points

167
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: down in both games to win the closing moments.

168
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: Yes, it is remarkable.

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: It is a miracle that they are up to oh

170
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: right now. It is absolutely stunning. Fans call it divine

171
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: for this reason. The Knicks are famously led by three

172
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: former Villanova superstars. Some of those stars were on Villanova's

173
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: national championship team just several years ago. The pope is

174
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: a graduate of Villanova.

175
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: Coincidence, we think not.

176
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: This is hilarious and it's just gonna get funnier as

177
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: we follow the White Sox and the next All right,

178
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: next up on the run.

179
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: You know.

180
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Some hopeful news for air travelers. The FAA says it

181
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: has big plans to make our skies safer, saying it

182
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: will modernize our nation's air traffic control system over the

183
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: next three years.

184
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, just in the nick of time. Apparently this is

185
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: long overdue. The plan includes phasing out the outdated technologies

186
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: that don't meet today's demands. From the fatal collision at

187
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Reagan National Airport at the beginning of the year, we

188
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: had ongoing delays we've been seeing at Newark Airport after

189
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: air traffic controllers lost all contact with pilots. That was

190
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: just last week. There have been mounting political and public

191
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: pressure for something to change.

192
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: That's right. President Trump said, we are currently using data

193
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: and communicating through equipment that is from the nineteen sixties. Wow,

194
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: that is deeply concerning. We're flying today, we're flying today,

195
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: and we're flying. Yes, that's oh, that's so good to hear.

196
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: But here's what he had to say to all of

197
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: those frustrated and honestly frightened passengers in some situations, he said,

198
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry what you're going through with the terminals, but

199
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: we're going to get them fixed up.

200
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

201
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: I Meanwhile, the Transportation Secretary said his agency will need

202
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: help from Congress to make the necessary changes. When he

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: says he needs help, what it really is is give

204
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: me money, Give me money, give me money from Markey.

205
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: Top Republicans and Democrats on the House Transportation Committee spoke

206
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: up quickly, vowing to make this a bipartisan effort.

207
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. Actually, when you read the quote, it

208
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: was a shocking display of camaraderie and bipartisanship. And then

209
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: you know what, you start to think, and it makes

210
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: sense because everyone regardless of political affiliation, kind of gets

211
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: the importance of air safety these days. So that's at

212
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: least a good step in the right direction. But this

213
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: is concerning. This is what the FAA had to say

214
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: about the current state of our current air traffic systems.

215
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: These outdated systems are showing their age, which leads to

216
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: delays and inefficiencies. The lack of funding for major investments

217
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 1: in key air traffic infrastructure such as radars, telecommunications, and facilities,

218
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: is now putting the aviation sector at risk. Can't wait

219
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: to fly today, babe?

220
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: All right, well, LU could dig you on our run

221
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: for now? And this ron has to do with this

222
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: leg takes us into the pond, I guess you should say,

223
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: because Trump unveiled a new trade agreement with the UK yesterday,

224
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: as the first agreement between the US and any country

225
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: since Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs last month.

226
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: So the US is going to adjust those twenty five

227
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: percent tariffs on steel and aluminum and lower auto tariffs

228
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: from twenty five percent to ten percent on the first

229
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand British vehicles to enter the country, and

230
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: the UK will still be subject to that ten percent

231
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: tariff Trump imposed on all imported goods.

232
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: In exchange, the Brits will lower tariffs on certain US

233
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: products like ethanol, beef, and machinery. Both sides admit there

234
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: are still details to be ironed out. I hope so,

235
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: because we've been looking at this and reading it all day.

236
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what's why hot, I don't either these deals.

237
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: There's a deal we're going to be nicer to each

238
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: other on tariffs. I guess that's bottom line. But this

239
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: is at least a de escalation.

240
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Yes, And speaking of de escalation, there is a glimmer

241
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: of hope in the trades standoff we have currently with China.

242
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: Trump hinting to reporters yesterday that those tariffs may come

243
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: down between the two countries as talks are set for

244
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: this weekend in Switzerland. I love what Trump said, Well,

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you can't get any higher. It's at one hundred and

246
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: forty five, so we know it's coming down one hundred

247
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: and forty five percent. That's, of course, the tariff percentage

248
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: we have imposed on all Chinese imports.

249
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: We shall see. We continue to run here now on

250
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: this Friday morning. With President Trump, continuing his Fox News

251
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: hiring spree, is now appointing a Fox News host and

252
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: former judge to serve as the top prosecutor in DC.

253
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: You could probably guess which one we're already talking about,

254
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: he said on social media. Jeanine Pirou will be interim

255
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: US Attorney for the District of Columbia.

256
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Why on an interim basis, Well, if you were to

257
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: nominate her to the position full time, that would require

258
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Senate confirmation, and this way Trump can avoid or at

259
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: least delay that process.

260
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: At least delay he's trying to get around it. Here's

261
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: what you're saying, right.

262
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: Trump hosted Bureaus the broadcasting resume online, saying, in addition

263
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: to her legal career, Janine previously hosted her own Fox

264
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: News show Justice with Judge Janine for ten years and

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: it's currently co host of the five, one of the

266
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: highest rated shows on television. So he's touting her TV

267
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: credentials rather.

268
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: Than her lead.

269
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Yes, I put that in because you know how important rating.

270
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: Sorry to President Trump, and so Jeanine Piro, of course

271
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: having one of the highest rated shows that made her

272
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: perfectly capable for this job. He also did say Janine

273
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: is incredibly well qualified for this position and is considered

274
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: one of the top district attorneys in the history of

275
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: the state of New York. She is in a class

276
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: by herself. Congratulations, Jeanine.

277
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: Okay, WISO is a big deal. It's a big deal because

278
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: of the office she's going to be in charge of.

279
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: It's uniquely important, as local and federal prosecutors are going

280
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: to be under her for the district and will represent

281
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: the United States in federal court. The office handles everything

282
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: from smaller local cases to major cases involving national security.

283
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: All you hear about this office all the time, but

284
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: it's wildly important. Handles a lot of big cases.

285
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: It certainly does.

286
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: We will continue here on this Friday Morning, Ron. When

287
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: we come back, President Biden says, my bad, it's on

288
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: me that President Trump is in the White House again. Also,

289
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: a botched execution in South Carolina will explain what happened there.

290
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: Also Bill Gates, well, you knew he's going to give

291
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: away his money, but he's going to do it faster

292
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: than we thought.

293
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: Stay with us, Welcome back to this Friday Morning Ron,

294
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: And next up on the Run, Former President Biden says

295
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: he's responsible for President Trump being re elected partially. He

296
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: was on the view yesterday alongside his wife, doctor Jill Biden.

297
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

298
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: Biden was asked if he felt responsible for Kamala Harris's loss.

299
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: He was asked directly.

300
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: His response was, I was in charge and he won,

301
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: so I take responsibility. However, he also said he wasn't

302
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: surprised that she lost because the other side quote went

303
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: the sexist route. He continued by saying this I've never

304
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: seen quite as successful and consistent campaign, undercutting the notion

305
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: that a woman could lead the country, and a woman

306
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: of mixed race.

307
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: He repeated that he thinks he could have beaten Trump

308
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: head to head, but said he only stepped aside because

309
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: he did not want a divided Democratic Party. He also

310
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: took the opportunity to say that President Trump has had

311
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: the worst one hundred days that any president has ever had.

312
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: Trump is rubbing off on him, because that sounds exactly

313
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,359
Speaker 2: like something Trump.

314
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: With another superlative.

315
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: Yes, continue on the run here now with the story

316
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: we followed here on morning Run, and we thought it

317
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: was over, but there now is a disturbing update about

318
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: a story we talked about here last month, a rare

319
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: firing squad execution of South Carolina inmate Michael Mady. His

320
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: attorneys now saying it was a botched execution. In fact,

321
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: they call it a massive botch their words, in which

322
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: Maddy suffered greatly, they said, because the executioners shooting him

323
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: missed their target. We debated here. Road is a story

324
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: we followed pretty closely, but we debated about putting in

325
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: this morning because its quite frankly, some of these details.

326
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: Are chill up.

327
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: They certainly are. This is according to his attorney. Pathologist

328
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: who reviewed the autopsy findings concluded the bullets largely missed

329
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: his heart, instead hitting other organs and prolonging the time

330
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: for him to die. They say he likely suffered excruciating

331
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: pain for up to a full minute, rather than the

332
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds that doctors say it should have taken if

333
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: they had actually hit his heart.

334
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: It all sounds awful, but there is a thing cruel

335
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: and unusual. It is supposed to be unconstitutional. For whatever

336
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: reason they deemed that the fifteen seconds isn't necessarily cruel

337
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: and unusual. He said, yes, you're going to experience pain,

338
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: but it's not supposed to be what they say this

339
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: guy went through. He chose firing squad execution because South

340
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: Carolina is one of the few states that offers that

341
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: as an option to inmates. Cover is put over the

342
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: inmates head a target, a literal target placed over the heart,

343
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: and then three volunteer shooters all fire live rounds at

344
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: that target with bullets designed to do the most damage

345
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: and to stop the heart quickly.

346
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: His attorneys have filed a notice of botched execution with

347
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: the state Supreme Court asking for answers and remedies, saying

348
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: that what happened to Mady was not humane. Apparently there

349
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: were only two bullets. There was some confusion as to

350
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: why there wasn't a third one. They said it took

351
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: him four minutes to die. I believe by what I

352
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: read and that is and that he was actually making

353
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: moaning noises. I mean, it's a very disturbing story that

354
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: certainly needs to be investigated, looked into. This should not

355
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: happen to anyone.

356
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: Yes, he is a convicted cop killer, yep, but this

357
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: is not.

358
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: Who we are.

359
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: We just see exactly not supposed to have people suffer

360
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: in this manner. This will get for sure another look

361
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: and a follow up. We do want to continue now

362
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: on this morning Run.

363
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: With Bill Gates.

364
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: He has changed his mind and decided to give away

365
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: his fortune much quicker than he had originally planned. The

366
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: Gates Foundation has pledged to give two hundred billion dollars

367
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: away over the next twenty years to help people live healthy,

368
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: productive lives.

369
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: Gates donation would be the largest philanthropic donation in modern history.

370
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: The two hundred billion dollars is more than what the

371
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: Gates Foundation currently confund it's not completely in their endowment

372
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: right now, so the balance will actually come from Bill

373
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: gates personal fortune.

374
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to distribute, he says, virtually all of

375
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: his wealth through his foundation over the next two decades.

376
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: Originally the plan was to distribute all of the money

377
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: twenty years after his death, but Gates said he started

378
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 2: to rethink that timeline a few years ago.

379
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. It's really incredible because this money, he says,

380
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: we'll have three primary goals. First, he wants to end

381
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: preventable deaths of moms and babies around the world. Second,

382
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: he wants to prevent deadly infectious diseases, which has been

383
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: certainly a huge cause of his over the past decade

384
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: at least. And he wants to bring millions of people

385
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: out of poverty by giving giving them ways to help themselves,

386
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, instead of just giving the money. He wants

387
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: to create paths for employment, paths for opportunities. So this

388
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: is a really lofty goal and a really incredible gesture

389
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: to the world.

390
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: I like the timeline moving up in two respects. One

391
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: of them seems selfish, but in one respect, yeah, you

392
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: could get this money.

393
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: Out there quickly and you can see the impact.

394
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: You want to be around to see it and maybe

395
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: even guided or direct.

396
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: Cool, that's the selfish one.

397
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 2: I don't want to be dead and all of a

398
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 2: sudden the world becomes a wonderful place because of me,

399
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: and I didn't see it. Yeah, I want credit for

400
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: it while I'm alive. Everybody, Hey, give me some awards.

401
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that's just me, that's not Bill Gates.

402
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: Folks, all right, for the final leg of our run. Well,

403
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: we all know it as the Academy of Country Music Awards.

404
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: That's what it's officially called, but unofficially it's become the

405
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: Landy Wilson.

406
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: Show, Superstars Linger at another Stella Knight. At last night's

407

408
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: others in the CMTS.

409
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: And CMAS, CMAS is the CMA's okay, but we're saying

410
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: too many acronyms ACM.

411
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I give them all the credit.

412
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: The Academy of Country Music Awards. Last night, she Laney

00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: Wilson won the biggest prize.

414

Speaker 3: Of the night.

00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: This is the all coveted Entertainer of the Year, and

416
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: this is the second year in a Row. She's won

417
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: that award.

00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: Dang all right. Well, she's also won awards for last

419

Speaker 1: Night for Album of the Year, Female Artist of the Year,

420
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: and Artist Songwriter of the Year. One of the biggest

421
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: highlights of the night happened right off the top. The

422
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: show opened with nearly a fifteen minute medley of country

423
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: music hits and stars from the past fifty years. How

424
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: cool is that?

425
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: Okay, we're talking about Clint Black. We're talking about names

426
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: like Winona Judd, Reeba MacIntyre, Leanne Rhymes I read somewhere.

427
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: This was her first return to the show in many

428
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: years for some reason, but she was there. But another

429
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: highlight of the night was Alan Jackson. He got a

430
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: Lifetime Achievement Award last night.

431
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: We are huge fans of his. We've been playing one

432
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: of his songs at nauseum over the past couple of weeks.

433
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: Other top awards last Night Song of the Year Dirt

434
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Cheap by Cody Johnson, Duo of the Year Brooks and Dunn.

435
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: Didn't realize they have. They have a duo over the

436
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: Year and a group of the Year.

437
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 3: Do all war shows.

438
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: Having no I think that might just be a country

439
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: basic thing.

440
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: Because I guess there are a lot of duos. Yeah,

441
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: well that makes sense.

442
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: But the Group of the Year was Old Dominion and

443
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: then Male Artist of the Year was Chris Staples and

444
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: Alan Jackson had a cool moment. The Lifetime Achievement Award

445
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: is a new one that they're actually naming after him.

446
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: He's the first recipient of it. He got up there

447
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: and made a joke. He said, usually I hear from

448
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: people and they name their dogs after me, So this

449
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 2: ain't bad.

450
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: They named their dogs after me.

451
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 3: A lot of fans come up and say they name

452
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: their dog.

453
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: He's got that song that I've been singing for much

454
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: of my life, isn't it wayde On Younger on the

455
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: chat Ahuci is that Yeah, we should play that when

456
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,280

457
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: To Atlanta, right past the Shadoo.

00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.

459

Speaker 2: All right, folks, before you go and get your weekend started,

460
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 2: something we would like for you to take.

461
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: With you on this Friday. It's our quote of the day.

462
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: Just because it's not on the news doesn't mean it's

463
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: not happening. TJ. You got to explain this one.

464
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: This came to me. Benjamin Watson is his name. A

465
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: lot of people might not recognize the name. But we

466
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: were on robes a shoot for Good Morning America several

467
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 2: years ago in New Orleans, and he was a part

468
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 2: of it and just standing to the side. We weren't

469
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: on TV at the time. We were just having a

470
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: little private conversation and he was talking about something and

471
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: something not getting enough attention in the news. He said,

472
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: folks don't realize just because it's not in the news

473
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's not happening. He's making a point that

474
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 2: there were so many other things to pay attention to

475
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: that we're not paying attention to.

476
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: And I just loved how he said.

477
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: Like I said, some of the quotes I get from

478
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: my pastor or a random person, this was a random conversation

479
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: I had with him, and I loved it, and I wrote.

480
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: It in I Love it too. I hadn't thought about it,

481
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: but it's so true. And we get tunnel visions sometimes

482
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: and we're almost told what to think about and told

483
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: what to care about. But it's important to look around

484
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: you and see what's important actually in your life, not

485
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: necessarily what you're being told to pay attention to. So

486
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: let's give it to you one more time, just because

487
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: it's not on the news doesn't mean it's not happening.

488
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: And if you get a chance, reach out to Benjamin Watson.

489
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: He's now a commentator for SEC Network for football. Every

490
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: time I see him on, I send him a text

491
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: say hello again, and oh, I'm telling you that moment

492
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: with him.

493
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: I wrote that down.

494
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: It meant that much to me at the time, so

495
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: it's really cool you get a chance reach out to

496
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: him and let him know that his words are still

497
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: reverberating through the country. And with that, folks, we always

498
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: appreciate you running with us.

499
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: I'm TJ.

500
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Holmes and I'm Amy Robock. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone,
