Good 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:09.560 morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Friday, 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:12.119 May ninth. I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ. 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.480 Holmes And on this Friday Morning Run Ill Papa Americano. 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.520 The world is reacting as the Vatican makes history. 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:21.640 Yes, we have the very. 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.720 First American Pope, Pope Leo the fourteenth hometown of Chicago, 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:29.040 who they are bursting with pride today. And of course 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.559 one of the first things we needed to know cubs 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:33.720 or white sox. 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.360 That is so American of us. All right. President Trump 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:41.280 announces what he calls an historic trade deal with the UK, 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.880 and he also announced yesterday he is tapping a Fox 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.560 News host and a former judge to be DC's top prosecutor. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:52.199 Also, former President Biden admits it's his fault. Yeah, he 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.240 takes responsibility for President Trump being in office and believes 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.160 he could have won had he stayed in the race. Also, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.240 travelers listen up from collisions to near missus, to massive 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.600 delays and yes, even crashes. But the FAA now says 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.200 it is going to fix our nation's air traffic control problem. 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.279 But it's not going to happen immediately. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:16.200 And autopsy reveals that shooters missed their marks in last 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:21.560 month South Carolina firing squad execution, causing unnecessary prolonged suffering. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.319 Plus Next on the Run, Bill Gates says he is 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.040 accelerating his timeline to give away all of his money. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.520 It was supposed to happen after he died. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.279 And also on the run this morning. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.840 Last night, did you catch it, the Laney Wilson Show 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.520 took place. 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.200 It's also known. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.000 As the Country Music Awards, but it has become her show. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.520 Who wrote she did it once again? She is wildly impressive, 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.840 just her hold on country music. Right now, we'll get 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.520 into country music to big Night. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.680 All right, looking forward to that. But we begin our 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.559 run in Rome, where we have a new pope, and yes, 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.600 for the first time in Vatican history, he is American. 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.160 His name Pope Leo the fourteenth. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.960 He used to be called Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost. Yet 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.040 the sixty nine year old is originally from Chicago. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.919 So after that white. 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.799 Smoke rose up from the chimney in the Sistine Chapel 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.960 just after one o'clock Eastern yesterday, Pope Leo came to 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.640 the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica and addressed a crowd 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.600 of more than one hundred and fifty thousand people. His 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.920 first words is, Pope, this is the first greeting of 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.800 the Risen Christ. May the peace be with you. This 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.920 is the peace of the Risen Christ. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.120 He spoke mostly in Italian, some in Spanish, but nothing 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.720 in his native English. He referred to Pope Francis's Easter 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.120 address the day before he died, saying this we still 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.560 hold in our ears, that weak, yet ever courageous voice 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.520 of Pope Francis. As he blessed Rome, who gave his 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.720 blessing to the world, to the whole world. Pope Leo 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.560 asked his followers to build bridges through dialogue and to 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.600 be one single people, always in peace. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.480 He was most recently a bishop in northern Peru, even 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.880 has dual citizenship citizenship in Peru in US, but of 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.959 course the roots are in Chicago. President Trump was quick 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.840 to congratulate the new pope, posting on social media that 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.560 what a great honor for our country. I look forward 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.760 to meeting Pope Leo the fourteenth. It will be a 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.320 very meaningful moment. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.400 And of course, famous Chicagoans chimed in. I loved what 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:23.160 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson posted on x saying, everything Dope, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.040 including the Pope, comes from Chicago. Congratulations to the first 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.200 American Pope, Leo the fourteenth. We hope to welcome you 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:31.400 back home soon. 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.679 Even that not I like that. This they're already talking about. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.960 This pope is going to be a pop culture pope 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.320 in a way. That's everybody. American culture is everywhere. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:40.080 Everybody loves him. 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.480 But he now is like a homeboy in a lot 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.320 of yeahs. Even this his fandom we're going to get 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.960 into in a second. But you talk about the famous Chicagoans. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.320 Why it went the mayor and then Barack Obama. I 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.200 don't know, Rose, but the other famous guy from Chicago 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.560 you might have heard up. He put on a message 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:00.280 as well, saying, quote, Michelle and I send our congratulates 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.480 to a fellow Chicago and his holiness, Pope Leo the fourteenth. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.400 This is a historic day for the United States, and 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.840 we will pray for him as it begins the sacred 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.440 work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.320 for so many regardless of faith. That's a good point, Rose, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.520 We should always remember about the Pope. He represents more 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.839 than we always say. He's the leader of the one 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.800 point four billion Catholics. He's a lot too more than that. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.640 Oh, he sets the tone for the world, truly on 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.560 the moral path that we should all be on, or 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.520 at least that he says we should all be on. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.279 You know it even brought together to the historic and 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.160 current enemies. Both President Zelenski and Putin congratulated the new 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.760 Popa within moments of each other, and that a fun 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.359 reaction from the President of Villanova saying, not in his 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.000 wildest dreams did he ever expect that a Villanova alum 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.240 would become pope. Pope Leo graduated from Villanoa University back 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.440 in nineteen seventy seven with a bachelor's degree in math. 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.440 This has the Okay, I'm going to look it up. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:00.320 It has to be the first university ever have a 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.080 national championship and a pope. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:03.160 We should look at. 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:04.559 I guarantee you that is true. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.560 Going to the Vatican, the Pope is going to be 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:08.520 busy over the next several days. Yeah, he doesn't get 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.520 the rest now that he's won the election. Earlier this morning, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.560 Pope Leo celebrated Mass in the Sistine Chapel. Then on 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.920 Sunday he's going to recite a prayer from the balcony 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.000 of Saint Peter's Basilica. 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.600 And then on Monday morning, this will be very interesting. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.600 The new Pope is going to speak to accredited journalists 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.120 where he is expected to give a prepared speech. We 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.920 all cannot wait for that. Also, the Empire State Building 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.760 here in New York City shined last night golden white 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.440 in honor of Pope Leo the fourteenth. 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.159 All right, we're going to continue our run here talking 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.320 about the Pope, but a lot of weird sports headlines. 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.160 I say weird. It's only weird. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.039 That we're talking about the Pope and talking about sports 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.280 in the same sentence. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.640 Because we're talking about America. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.919 Because we're talking about America. That's okay, simple enough. But 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.520 as soon as folks heard that he was from Chicago, 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.800 naturally the next question to be asked, Cubs or white socks. Well, 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.479 the Cubs spoke up pretty quickly, in particular on social media, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.520 and that got a lot of attention. 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.239 Yeah, they posted a picture of the marquee at Wrigley 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.960 Field which read, hey, Chicago, he's a Cubs fan. Even 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.240 Illinois Senator Dick Durbin was reportedly telling people, I hear 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.240 he's a Cubs fan. It was reported on Chicago radio 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:16.040 as well, and. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.040 They were all wrong. But don't take our word for it. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.120 Take it from the New Pope's brother who told a 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.360 local TV station that his brother is absolutely a White 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.760 Sox fan and has always been. He said they actually 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.039 came up together and they would go to games. So 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.039 that's a pretty good source. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.840 Yeah, I feel like he is a trusted source. Indeed. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.040 So then the White Sox changed their marquee to say 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.880 the new Pope is actually a White Sox fan, and 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.640 later put out this statement family always knows best, and 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.279 it sounds like Pope Leo the fourteenth long lifelong fandom 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.000 falls a little closer to thirty fifth and shield. Some 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.400 things are bigger than baseball, and in this case, we're 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:59.360 glad to have a White Sox fan represented at the Vatican. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.800 A pin stripes White Sox jersey with his name on it, 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.000 and a half and a hat. Sorry I can't read, 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.480 so he's got a jersey and a hat are already 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.280 on the way to roam. This will be so interesting 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:15.040 to see how the White sox do will they have 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.080 divine terrible? They've been terrible, so things could change, is 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:18.480 my point. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.040 If it does, then I'm gonna get on board and 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:21.840 i might convert. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.280 This actually is the case. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.040 But we have another sports connection to tell you about 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.600 for pop Leo the fourteenth. This one has to do 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.120 with the New York Knicks. Knicks fans are claiming him 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.760 right now as well, and believe they've given what's currently 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.960 happening with the team. His election can't be a coincidence. Okay, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.720 this one, Robes takes a little more explaining a little 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:43.360 more of a deep dot. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.120 That's right. The Knicks are playing the Boston Celtics in 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.920 the Eastern Conference semifinals. They were not the betting favorite 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.920 to win the series, but are now up two to 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.280 oh after they improbably won the first two games on 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.840 the road and had to come back from twenty points 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.920 down in both games to win the closing moments. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.280 Yes, it is remarkable. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.880 It is a miracle that they are up to oh 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:10.680 right now. It is absolutely stunning. Fans call it divine 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:15.960 for this reason. The Knicks are famously led by three 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:21.600 former Villanova superstars. Some of those stars were on Villanova's 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:26.200 national championship team just several years ago. The pope is 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.520 a graduate of Villanova. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.600 Coincidence, we think not. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.360 This is hilarious and it's just gonna get funnier as 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.439 we follow the White Sox and the next All right, 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:37.520 next up on the run. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:38.240 You know. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.520 Some hopeful news for air travelers. The FAA says it 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.760 has big plans to make our skies safer, saying it 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.120 will modernize our nation's air traffic control system over the 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:49.080 next three years. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.440 Yeah, just in the nick of time. Apparently this is 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:56.280 long overdue. The plan includes phasing out the outdated technologies 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.640 that don't meet today's demands. From the fatal collision at 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:01.920 Reagan National Airport at the beginning of the year, we 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.080 had ongoing delays we've been seeing at Newark Airport after 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.800 air traffic controllers lost all contact with pilots. That was 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.520 just last week. There have been mounting political and public 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.520 pressure for something to change. 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.480 That's right. President Trump said, we are currently using data 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:21.920 and communicating through equipment that is from the nineteen sixties. Wow, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.720 that is deeply concerning. We're flying today, we're flying today, 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.520 and we're flying. Yes, that's oh, that's so good to hear. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.520 But here's what he had to say to all of 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:35.040 those frustrated and honestly frightened passengers in some situations, he said, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.040 I'm sorry what you're going through with the terminals, but 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.000 we're going to get them fixed up. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:40.319 Yeah. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.080 I Meanwhile, the Transportation Secretary said his agency will need 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.520 help from Congress to make the necessary changes. When he 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.120 says he needs help, what it really is is give 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.120 me money, Give me money, give me money from Markey. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.480 Top Republicans and Democrats on the House Transportation Committee spoke 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.320 up quickly, vowing to make this a bipartisan effort. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.320 Yeah, it was. Actually, when you read the quote, it 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.640 was a shocking display of camaraderie and bipartisanship. And then 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.760 you know what, you start to think, and it makes 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:11.440 sense because everyone regardless of political affiliation, kind of gets 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.360 the importance of air safety these days. So that's at 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.720 least a good step in the right direction. But this 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.040 is concerning. This is what the FAA had to say 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:24.640 about the current state of our current air traffic systems. 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.280 These outdated systems are showing their age, which leads to 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.920 delays and inefficiencies. The lack of funding for major investments 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:37.839 in key air traffic infrastructure such as radars, telecommunications, and facilities, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:43.679 is now putting the aviation sector at risk. Can't wait 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.520 to fly today, babe? 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.120 All right, well, LU could dig you on our run 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.800 for now? And this ron has to do with this 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.320 leg takes us into the pond, I guess you should say, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.440 because Trump unveiled a new trade agreement with the UK yesterday, 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.000 as the first agreement between the US and any country 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.000 since Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs last month. 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.280 So the US is going to adjust those twenty five 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:09.320 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum and lower auto tariffs 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.679 from twenty five percent to ten percent on the first 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.240 one hundred thousand British vehicles to enter the country, and 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.480 the UK will still be subject to that ten percent 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.840 tariff Trump imposed on all imported goods. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.079 In exchange, the Brits will lower tariffs on certain US 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.760 products like ethanol, beef, and machinery. Both sides admit there 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.960 are still details to be ironed out. I hope so, 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.679 because we've been looking at this and reading it all day. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.439 I don't know what's why hot, I don't either these deals. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:35.880 There's a deal we're going to be nicer to each 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.840 other on tariffs. I guess that's bottom line. But this 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.800 is at least a de escalation. 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.800 Yes, And speaking of de escalation, there is a glimmer 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.280 of hope in the trades standoff we have currently with China. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.080 Trump hinting to reporters yesterday that those tariffs may come 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.960 down between the two countries as talks are set for 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.720 this weekend in Switzerland. I love what Trump said, Well, 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.800 you can't get any higher. It's at one hundred and 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.280 forty five, so we know it's coming down one hundred 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.960 and forty five percent. That's, of course, the tariff percentage 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.440 we have imposed on all Chinese imports. 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.640 We shall see. We continue to run here now on 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.280 this Friday morning. With President Trump, continuing his Fox News 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.280 hiring spree, is now appointing a Fox News host and 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.960 former judge to serve as the top prosecutor in DC. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.920 You could probably guess which one we're already talking about, 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.040 he said on social media. Jeanine Pirou will be interim 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.200 US Attorney for the District of Columbia. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.920 Why on an interim basis, Well, if you were to 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.520 nominate her to the position full time, that would require 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.360 Senate confirmation, and this way Trump can avoid or at 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.440 least delay that process. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.480 At least delay he's trying to get around it. Here's 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:39.120 what you're saying, right. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.440 Trump hosted Bureaus the broadcasting resume online, saying, in addition 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.920 to her legal career, Janine previously hosted her own Fox 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.160 News show Justice with Judge Janine for ten years and 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.680 it's currently co host of the five, one of the 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.559 highest rated shows on television. So he's touting her TV 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:56.679 credentials rather. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:57.200 Than her lead. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.920 Yes, I put that in because you know how important rating. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.440 Sorry to President Trump, and so Jeanine Piro, of course 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.880 having one of the highest rated shows that made her 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.200 perfectly capable for this job. He also did say Janine 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.160 is incredibly well qualified for this position and is considered 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.240 one of the top district attorneys in the history of 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.480 the state of New York. She is in a class 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.760 by herself. Congratulations, Jeanine. 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.760 Okay, WISO is a big deal. It's a big deal because 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.240 of the office she's going to be in charge of. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.280 It's uniquely important, as local and federal prosecutors are going 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.000 to be under her for the district and will represent 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.000 the United States in federal court. The office handles everything 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.960 from smaller local cases to major cases involving national security. 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.120 All you hear about this office all the time, but 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.920 it's wildly important. Handles a lot of big cases. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:42.720 It certainly does. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.360 We will continue here on this Friday Morning, Ron. When 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.640 we come back, President Biden says, my bad, it's on 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.240 me that President Trump is in the White House again. Also, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:59.000 a botched execution in South Carolina will explain what happened there. 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.000 Also Bill Gates, well, you knew he's going to give 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.880 away his money, but he's going to do it faster 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:03.559 than we thought. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:14.520 Stay with us, Welcome back to this Friday Morning Ron, 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.000 And next up on the Run, Former President Biden says 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:21.800 he's responsible for President Trump being re elected partially. He 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.680 was on the view yesterday alongside his wife, doctor Jill Biden. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:25.120 Yeah. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.080 Biden was asked if he felt responsible for Kamala Harris's loss. 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:29.920 He was asked directly. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.520 His response was, I was in charge and he won, 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.440 so I take responsibility. However, he also said he wasn't 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.600 surprised that she lost because the other side quote went 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.720 the sexist route. He continued by saying this I've never 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.120 seen quite as successful and consistent campaign, undercutting the notion 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.480 that a woman could lead the country, and a woman 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:52.520 of mixed race. 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.240 He repeated that he thinks he could have beaten Trump 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.080 head to head, but said he only stepped aside because 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.320 he did not want a divided Democratic Party. He also 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.560 took the opportunity to say that President Trump has had 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.960 the worst one hundred days that any president has ever had. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.400 Trump is rubbing off on him, because that sounds exactly 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:12.359 like something Trump. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.160 With another superlative. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.920 Yes, continue on the run here now with the story 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.560 we followed here on morning Run, and we thought it 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.520 was over, but there now is a disturbing update about 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.040 a story we talked about here last month, a rare 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.800 firing squad execution of South Carolina inmate Michael Mady. His 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.400 attorneys now saying it was a botched execution. In fact, 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.360 they call it a massive botch their words, in which 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:43.600 Maddy suffered greatly, they said, because the executioners shooting him 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.240 missed their target. We debated here. Road is a story 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.760 we followed pretty closely, but we debated about putting in 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.840 this morning because its quite frankly, some of these details. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:52.920 Are chill up. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.400 They certainly are. This is according to his attorney. Pathologist 0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:00.920 who reviewed the autopsy findings concluded the bullets largely missed 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.840 his heart, instead hitting other organs and prolonging the time 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:08.520 for him to die. They say he likely suffered excruciating 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.960 pain for up to a full minute, rather than the 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.000 fifteen seconds that doctors say it should have taken if 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:15.080 they had actually hit his heart. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.760 It all sounds awful, but there is a thing cruel 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.840 and unusual. It is supposed to be unconstitutional. For whatever 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.160 reason they deemed that the fifteen seconds isn't necessarily cruel 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.360 and unusual. He said, yes, you're going to experience pain, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.520 but it's not supposed to be what they say this 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.880 guy went through. He chose firing squad execution because South 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:34.040 Carolina is one of the few states that offers that 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.960 as an option to inmates. Cover is put over the 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.840 inmates head a target, a literal target placed over the heart, 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.760 and then three volunteer shooters all fire live rounds at 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.680 that target with bullets designed to do the most damage 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.520 and to stop the heart quickly. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.840 His attorneys have filed a notice of botched execution with 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.520 the state Supreme Court asking for answers and remedies, saying 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.680 that what happened to Mady was not humane. Apparently there 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.440 were only two bullets. There was some confusion as to 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.760 why there wasn't a third one. They said it took 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.520 him four minutes to die. I believe by what I 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.639 read and that is and that he was actually making 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.840 moaning noises. I mean, it's a very disturbing story that 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.040 certainly needs to be investigated, looked into. This should not 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:17.919 happen to anyone. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.119 Yes, he is a convicted cop killer, yep, but this 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:22.440 is not. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:22.840 Who we are. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.080 We just see exactly not supposed to have people suffer 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.400 in this manner. This will get for sure another look 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.560 and a follow up. We do want to continue now 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:31.680 on this morning Run. 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:32.600 With Bill Gates. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.160 He has changed his mind and decided to give away 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.280 his fortune much quicker than he had originally planned. The 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.840 Gates Foundation has pledged to give two hundred billion dollars 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.000 away over the next twenty years to help people live healthy, 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:45.800 productive lives. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:50.439 Gates donation would be the largest philanthropic donation in modern history. 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.800 The two hundred billion dollars is more than what the 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.720 Gates Foundation currently confund it's not completely in their endowment 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.520 right now, so the balance will actually come from Bill 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.480 gates personal fortune. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.560 Yeah, he's going to distribute, he says, virtually all of 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.520 his wealth through his foundation over the next two decades. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.040 Originally the plan was to distribute all of the money 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.680 twenty years after his death, but Gates said he started 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.360 to rethink that timeline a few years ago. 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.760 That's pretty cool. It's really incredible because this money, he says, 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.959 we'll have three primary goals. First, he wants to end 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.280 preventable deaths of moms and babies around the world. Second, 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.479 he wants to prevent deadly infectious diseases, which has been 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.600 certainly a huge cause of his over the past decade 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.320 at least. And he wants to bring millions of people 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:38.359 out of poverty by giving giving them ways to help themselves, 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.120 you know, instead of just giving the money. He wants 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.679 to create paths for employment, paths for opportunities. So this 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.679 is a really lofty goal and a really incredible gesture 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:48.160 to the world. 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:52.119 I like the timeline moving up in two respects. One 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.280 of them seems selfish, but in one respect, yeah, you 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:56.240 could get this money. 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.680 Out there quickly and you can see the impact. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.120 You want to be around to see it and maybe 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:02.240 even guided or direct. 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:03.639 Cool, that's the selfish one. 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.159 I don't want to be dead and all of a 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.159 sudden the world becomes a wonderful place because of me, 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:08.960 and I didn't see it. Yeah, I want credit for 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.280 it while I'm alive. Everybody, Hey, give me some awards. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.359
