1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Hello everyone,

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: this is your Morning Run for Wednesday, July ninth.

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Roboch and I'm TJ.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: Holmes and on the run this morning. The fear now

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: is that the death toll from the devastating Texas flooding

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 3: may actually more than double. The search continues today for

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 3: nearly two hundred missing people.

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Also on the run this morning, President Trump making headlines

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: in his cabinet meeting yesterday, suggesting to reporters he may

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: take over both New York City and Washington, DC. Plus,

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court announces a major ruling allowing Trump to

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: move forward with his mass firings of government employees.

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: Also on the run this morning, turns out artificial intelligence

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: isn't smarter than a federal judge who called out attorneys

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: for filing an AI generated error riddled document. Also, your

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: Sunday sermons may soon sound a little different. Churches can

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: now endorse political candid and it's without losing their tax

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: exempt status.

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: Two minutes and it was over. Diddy's defense team did

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: an about phase and decided not to push for an

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: expedited sentencing date. And we are just days away from

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: the Love Island USA finale in case you hadn't heard,

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: and teens as young as fourteen now able to hail

24
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: their own robotaxis in one city. There are some strings attached,

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: but curious how parents nationwide feel about this new plan.

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: Strings attached, but no driver attacked?

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Correct exactly?

28
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: Huh Yeah, We'll get into that one, folks, but we

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: do have to begin the run on this Wednesday. In Texas,

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: officials are now shifting from search and rescue to search

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: and recovery mode after the devastating flash flooding over the

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: fourth of July holiday weekend. The death toll has now

33
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: risen to at least one hundred and eleven people, but

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: the latest number of people missing has jumped to one

35
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy three, with the Texas Governor Greg Abbott

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: saying that number could be even higher.

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: That's right, and one hundred and sixty one of the

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: missing are from one single county, Kerr County, and many

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: of those unaccounted for they didn't register at a camp,

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: they didn't register at a hotel, so it's been extremely

41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: difficult for officials to get an accurate count of the missing.

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: Hundreds of local state and federal emergency responders are now

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: beginning their sixth day of going through debris looking for

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: those who are still missing. And during a press conference

45
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: last night, members of the media press Texas officials about

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: their flood alert system, accusing them of ducking questions about

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: why nothing was done after that first National Weather Service

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: alert came through at one fourteen am, and that was

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: three hours before the catastrophic flooding.

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 3: And the sheriff they're in Kern County, got a little

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: stern with reporters, telling them and I quote, as I've

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: told you several times, this is not my priority at

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: this time. There are three priorities. That's locating the people

54
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: out there, identifying and then notifying the next of kin.

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: That is what I am taking as my job as sheriff,

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: not what is it the thing robes they're telling what

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: should they have done to wake people up and how

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: they talk about sirens, but would those have done it?

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: They were talking about why Kerk County officials weren't reacting

60
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: to those alerts coming over the alert system and starting

61
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: at one fourteen am. Why they didn't then go on

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 1: to Facebook. They didn't go on to try and reach

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: out to community members until the first nine one walls

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: nine to one to one calls came in, but most

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: of the official there say they didn't get the alerts.

66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: Reception is spotty and also something really sad to think about.

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: We've talked about this kids having their cell phones taken

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: away from them at summer camps at schools. None of

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: those kids at that summer camp had their phones with

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: them because they were taken away as part of policy.

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: But had they had their phones with them, would some

72
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: of them have heard the emergency alerts go off. There's

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: so many, there's a lot of finger pointing going on,

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: and the Sheriff's just saying it's too soon for that.

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Right now, we're still recovering bodies.

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: H and that's true, but man, it's going to need

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: to happen real soon so we don't have to have

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: another tragedy like this. And the phone thing, I didn't

79
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: think about it to this moment, but it has been

80
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: huge for me and the other parents in New York

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: because they require some schools that my child gives up

82
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: your cell phone, so if something happens, a kid can't

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: even make a call to say help me. I take

84
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: some issue with that. And maybe in this case it

85
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: could have been a difference.

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought about you. The cell phones, Yes,

87
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: can be a distraction. I get that for teachers and

88
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: for school officials, but they certainly can be life saving

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: tools in moments of crises. Well, I'm sure that discussion

90
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: is going to continue. But next up on a run.

91
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: President Trump raise some eyebrows yesterday, that's one way of

92
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: putting it, by suggesting he wants to take over and

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: run New York City and Washington d C. He made

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: the comments at a cabinet meeting at the White House yesterday,

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: and a reporter asked him about the New York mayoral election,

96
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: which was upended when self described Democratic socialist Zorhan mom

97
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Donnie won the Democratic primary.

98
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: So the President responded by saying, and I quote, if

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: a communist gets elected to run New York, it can

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: never be the same. We have tremendous power at the

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: White House to run places when.

102
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: We have to. Don't know what he's talking about, Huh,

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: don't know what that means.

104
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone knows that federal.

105
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: Government takeover of a Nobody really knows, but he said it.

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. Folks didn't stop there. He said then, quote,

107
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: new York City will run properly. We're going to bring

108
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: New York back. And oh no, no, no, no, no. He

109
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: didn't stop there either. He called out politicians in New York,

110
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: not just New York City, but also in New York

111
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: State and other crooked things going on in New York,

112
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 3: saying we're going to straighten out New York and maybe

113
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: we'll have to straighten it out from Washington. We're going

114
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: to do something for New York. I can't tell you

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: what yet. So we're going to make New York great again.

116
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: Huh that is a I mean, he's not comforting. That's alarming,

117
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,239
Speaker 1: but it's also right in line. That's so it's on brand.

118
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: It's on brand, all right. Even though this is this

119
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: is also interesting. Even though he was specifically asked about

120
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: New York, the President took the opportunity to re up

121
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: a previously expressed desire for the federal government do take

122
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: over Washington d C, saying we could run d C.

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: We're looking at DC. We don't want crime in DC.

124
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: We would run it so good, we would run it

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: so properly. We're thinking about doing it to be honest

126
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: with you. Uh, okay, DC runs in case you didn't know,

127
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you do as an autonomous district. But

128
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: Congress still controls its budget and its laws. It also

129
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: doesn't get to vote, which is a big sticking issue

130
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: with folks living in DC.

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: I just came up with another podcast idea for us,

132
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: and it's just to have you read Donald Trump quotes.

133
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: You get into a thing and you kind of starting

134
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: depression a little bit.

135
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you notice I kind of went there? Yeah?

136
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: I did.

137
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 3: I like that, So, okay, I liked it all right.

138
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: We'll continue on the run here now and continuing to

139
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: talk about Trump. An administration had a big victory in court.

140
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: Not just any court. This was the Supreme Court, and

141
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: the justices rule President Trump can temporarily move forward with

142
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: his executive order for mass layoffs of federal workers and

143
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: to restructure federal agencies.

144
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: The ruling lifts an injunction on Trump's executive order that

145
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: was issued by a lower California court. The Justices saying

146
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: this the government is likely to succeed on its argument

147
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: that the executive order and memorandum are lawful. They did, however, though,

148
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: point out the Justices wanted folks to know they were

149
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: not expressing views on the restructuring plans themselves.

150
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, decision here means Trump can now begin to overhaul

151
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: twenty one federal agencies and departments. There was only one

152
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: justice who provided a written dissent in this case, Justice

153
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: Katanji Brown Jackson, who wrote this decision is not only

154
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: truly unfortunate, but also uberistic and senseless.

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: I like how she got to the point very quickly

156
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: and effectively. The labor unions, nonprofit organizations, the cities and

157
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: counties in California, Illinois, Maryland, Texas, and Washington, who were

158
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: all a part of this case, called the Supreme Court's

159
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: decision a disappointment and said that that decision has dealt

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: a serious blow to our democracy and put services that

161
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: the American people rely on in grave jeopardy.

162
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: Can we get to my favorite seword of the day.

163
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Yes, let's do it.

164
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: This is my favorite, absolutely my favorite story of the day.

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: And it was only a matter of time, wasn't it ropes?

166
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: But a federal judge has reprimanded to attorneys in a

167
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: high profile case for submitting legal documents to the court

168
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: that were generated by a I This is a challenge

169
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: of it. What we talk about it on college campuses.

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: How are you going to police this emails? I'm sure

171
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: some of you recognize when it's AI generated and somebody

172
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: didn't really write it. We knew this was going to

173
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: be an issue, but in a legal case.

174
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: That you're paying attorneys to actually use their own legal

175
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: expertise and minds for Yeah. So the judge is Nina

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Wang of the US District Court in Denver, and she

177
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: presided over the defamation case against My Pillow founder Mike Lindell.

178
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Judge Wang said two of Lindell's attorneys violated court rules

179
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: when they filed a motion that had about thirty erroneous

180
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: citations in it thirty. The high number of errors prompted

181
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: the judge to ask the attorneys directly, Hey, is your

182
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: motion generated using generative artificial intelligence?

183
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: Okay?

184
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: And this is when it gets good, because the attorneys

185
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: then give a series of what can only be described

186
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: as the dog ate my homework type answers. First, the

187
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: lead attorney said he had delegated the task of checking

188
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: over the paperwork to another attorney, but then he followed

189
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: that up by saying they didn't initially use AI but rather,

190
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: and I quote, I did an outline for myself and

191
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 3: I drafted a motion and then we ran it through AI.

192
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: So then the judge followed up and asked if he'd

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: checked the info after putting it through AI, to which

194
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: the attorney responded that he had not personally checked the motion.

195
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: The lawyers also told the judge that the motion whoopsie

196
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: was filed accidentally.

197
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the final version they said was the right

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: one also had a ton of errors in that one

199
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: as well. So the judge I completely called BS not

200
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: buying any of this, cited the attorney's contradictory statements and

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: lack of corroborating evidence for finding both of them three

202
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. She expressed disappointment of having to do something

203
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: like this, but they just wouldn't own up to it.

204
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: She said, there was literally no other explanation you all

205
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: have put forward other than AI that was acceptable.

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and then Lindell lost. By the way, can

207
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: you imagine you're paying these attorneys who are just running

208
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: their documents through AI.

209
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: Wonder why he lost?

210
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: That is so so disturbing and perhaps even a cost

211
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: for appeal for Lindell because your attorneys completely did not

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: do what they were supposed to do.

213
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: And we mentioned high profile. Was high profile because he

214
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: had gone out there, he's a big Trump supporter and

215
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: had cited some saying some defamatory things about the election

216
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: had been rigged. Went to court and lost. I think

217
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: the judgment was two plus million dollars. He has to pay,

218
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: So he lost with these attorneys who were.

219
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: Ai in it.

220
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: That is so disturbing. There's nothing else to say. Favorite

221
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: store days, My goodness.

222
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: All right?

223
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, preachers can now endorse politicians

224
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: from the pulpit without fear of losing their church's tax

225
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: exempt status. In a major shift of the rules, the

226
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: IRS is now conceding that US tax code permits religious

227
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: groups to be involved in politics.

228
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, for decades, this thing called the Johnson Amendment in

229
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: US tax code was interpreted to ban churches from endorsing

230
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: political candidates. Now, all of us, even if you don't

231
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 3: know the Johnson Amendment, you do understand that there are

232
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: churches there are certain things that cannot endorse or you

233
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: lose your tax exempt status. But this is now a

234
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: major change. Why does it come about now?

235
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you.

236
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: Could probably guess a lawsuit group of broadcasters and churches sued,

237
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: claiming the rules violated their First Amendment.

238
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: Rights, and so a part of settling that suit, the

239
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: IRS now says that a pastor or a church is

240
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: not intervening or participating in a campaign by simply speaking

241
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: to its congregation through customary channels. I believe they said

242
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: the court said you should look at it like this.

243
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a family discussing politics, and so

244
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: it's the same type of setting. So it's not anything

245
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: that would force you to lose your taxis am status

246
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: if you're just talking among close parishioners and family members

247
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: about what you think about politics and politicians.

248
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: They've been arguing about this for years. Some thought, of

249
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: course the church should be allowed to do this, and

250
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: they haven't really been enforcing it necessarily. There are plenty

251
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: of times pastors and how many meetings do you see

252
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: with Okay, yeah, there you go, all right, folk, stay

253
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: with us here on this Wednesday morning, Ron when we

254
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: come back. Sean Diddy Combs had another day in court yesterday.

255
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: It only lasted two minutes. Also, somebody else has been

256
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: bounced from the villa. But it's not necessarily controversy this

257
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: time and your teenager hailing a cab that nobody's driving.

258
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: We continue our run on this Wednesday now with Sean

259
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: did He. Combs and his legal team had a change

260
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 3: of heart yesterday and decided not to push for an

261
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: expedited sentencing. After did He was convicted of two counts

262
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: against him last week. His defense told the judge soon

263
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: after that they wanted to have his sentencing moved up

264
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: from the suggested October third date.

265
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: But at a virtual court hearing yesterday that lasted all

266
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: of two minutes, did He said he now does not

267
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: want to move up the sentencing date and instead agreed

268
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: to keep it as is. That was October third. Combs

269
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: avoided guilty verdicts on the most serious charges against him,

270
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: but his two convictions for transportation to engage in prostitution

271
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: carry a maximum sentence of ten years for each count.

272
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: He's expected to get less than that, but we say

273
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: expected to. The judge can do whatever he chooses, despite

274
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: the recommendations from the prosecution or the ask from the defense.

275
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: We will find out in a couple months.

276
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: All right. We continue on the run now.

277
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: If you have not yet caught up on the latest

278
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: villa exit on Love Island. Please know we are about

279
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: to spoil it for you.

280
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: Now.

281
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: We're going to talk as slowly as we can and

282
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: give you enough of a heads up to turn this

283
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: down if you need to, whatever needs to happen. But yes,

284
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 3: we can tell you there are five couples remaining on

285
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 3: the island in just a few days until the July

286
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: thirteenth finale of the hit Peacock Show. It's almost offensive

287
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: to call it a hit now, it is a phenomenon.

288
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: It's a juggernaut. Right last night it was up to

289
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: America to vote one couple off the villa or out

290
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: of the villa. In America apparently wasn't feeling Taylor and Clark.

291
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: So this is probably the first ouster that's made headlines

292
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: that wasn't controversial, because there have been a couple of

293
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: those in recent days. But this show, in its second

294
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: week already had a billion downloads. This is its seventh season,

295
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: and now everyone's writing about it, and perhaps the controversies

296
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: did fuel some of the interest in the show. Unfortunately,

297
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: we do see that happening, but people are interested and

298
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: they are watching.

299
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: Two race related exits that happened randomly after the first.

300
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: Night, And the question is should the should Peacock, Should

301
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: the show's producers do more vetting of some of these

302
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: folks behind the scenes before they get on the show,

303
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: or should people be less obsessed about being woke? I

304
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: mean that those are the two camps saying everyone's going

305
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: over board and trying to find and dig up dirt

306
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: on folks from ten years ago. These folks are already young,

307
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: so we're talking about early teens mistakes. Is this should

308
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: this rise to the level? I mean, I think it's

309
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: a good thing to be talking about some of these

310
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: issues that maybe some people are unaware they are ignorant about.

311
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Perhaps that's a good thing, but certainly the hate has

312
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: been over the top and completely uncaullifable.

313
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 3: Well said, something made me and we could talk about

314
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: this later in another episode. I'll be talking about Love

315
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: Island with this idea that how.

316
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: What was it?

317
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: Could it have been a good thing to leave people

318
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: on the show who have made these awful mistakes because

319
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: a lot of young people are watching this and are

320
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: learning some lessons and maybe, oh wait, I didn't think

321
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 3: that was bad or whatever made? Could there have been

322
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: something to letting them stay on the show something redemptive

323
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: about that. Even I don't know, but.

324
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: That is the discussion to be had. I think it's

325
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: an interesting one, indeed, because kids are watching and they

326
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: could be learning.

327
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: Last leg here kids riding driverless car.

328
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: You're okay with that? Would you let your teen do it? Well?

329
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: Robo taxi company Weimo am I saying they're right, Yes, Weimo.

330
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: It's announced it is offering accounts to teenagers as young

331
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: as fourteen years old.

332
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Wow, that's just about a year and a half for Sabine.

333
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that?

334
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: I'll put her in an uber right now. I don't

335
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: care well.

336
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: The new program launched in Phoenix yesterday. Here's how it works.

337
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Parents have to invite their teens to set up an account,

338
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: and then their teen's account is paired with their parents' account.

339
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: Once they're paired and activated, the teen on his or

340
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: her own can hail rides using the app.

341
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: All right, So previously riders had to be eighteen to

342
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: have an account. Weimo says teens can share their trip

343
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: status with their parents for real time updates on the ride,

344
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: and parents will receive all the ride receipts. The hope

345
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: is to expand the teen program to markets outside of

346
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: Phoenix in the very near future.

347
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: Now, Waimo says, right, this is crazy to me. It

348
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: provides more than two hundred and fifty thousand driverless trips

349
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: a week. And they're in Phoenix, San Francisco, La Atlanta,

350
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: and Austin. And next year you'll see robot taxis in

351
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: Miami and DC. And the company has already applied for

352
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: a permit to operate. I love this autonomously with a

353
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: train specialist behind the wheel in Manhattan. So there's a

354
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: person behind the wheel in Manhattan. This is what they want,

355
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: but the car is still driving itself. What we've talked

356
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: about this How would this work in Manhattan with the

357
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: with the bicyclists, with the pedestrians, with the buses, with

358
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: the taxis driving like they own the streets. How could

359
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: you possibly have an automated driverless taxi in New York City?

360
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: How do you have a specialist behind the wheel of

361
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: a driverless car.

362
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: You're already implying as a failsafe in case something happens,

363
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: but like you have seconds to like sometimes millisecond, one

364
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: was sitting there.

365
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: Why don't they just drive a damn car?

366
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: It's it's something that I think New York is. It's funny.

367
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: We haven't seen it yet. I don't know if we

368
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: will see it. That'll be interesting to see if I

369
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: can't imagine how that would work in Manhattan.

370
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: You know what, our attitude right now we should hear

371
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 3: from the Dali Lama right now because our attitude and

372
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: his quote that you pulled for today needs to apply

373
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: to us right now. We should be we should be embarrassed. So, folks,

374
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: here is our quote of the day that apparently Robot

375
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: and I absolutely need to take dark here.

376
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: It is choose to be optimistic. It feels better, Dalai Lama.

377
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: It's that simple. It's that simple.

378
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: We told Joe his birthday was on Sunday during nineties

379
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: cities plans to live into one hundred and thirty. But

380
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: he has, of course countless quotes, and Rope decided to

381
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: dedicate this week to all Dalai Lama quotes, and that

382
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: is a very good one. Is very simple. Yes, being

383
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: optimistic is a.

384
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Choice, it is.

385
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 2: You know what.

386
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: That's it's so funny, it kay, when I was sitting there,

387
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen. That is so true. In the moment,

388
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: we all find ourselves going into a negative cycle. Remind

389
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: yourself today you can stop it. You can stop that

390
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: train of thought and say, what would the Dali Lama say?

391
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 3: Somebody got up today thinking man today is gonna suck.

392
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: What if you got up said man today is going

393
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: to rock and I Am going to crush this day.

394
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: It is that simple, yep, And you can you can

395
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: have the negative thought, acknowledge it and say I'm going

396
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: to switch that. I'm gonna say the opposite because I'm

397
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: going to choose to be optimistic because it feels better.

398
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: Ain't that the truth?

399
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: So those driverless taxis, you do your thing, things are

400
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: gonna be awesome in New York and everywhere.

401
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: I feel better already and we hope you do too.

402
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: So thank you for running with us everyone.

403
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,959
