Val Kilmer has 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:23.600 passed away and it has us all thinking about his 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.720 career and seeing him in what are now iconic roles. 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:27.560 What's your favorite? 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.320 So I have a very strange one, but Willow hands 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.080 down my favorite movie from nineteen eighty eight. It's the 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.279 movie He met his wife. Theyson's divorced, but he got 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.280 his children from that movie. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:39.600 Anyway. 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.920 I was fifteen when it came out and I fell 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:42.600 in love with him. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:43.760 I fell in love with the movie. 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.000 So yes, that's my favorite. 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:45.400 How about you? 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.000 It's tough. A lot of people are reminiscent, and I 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.199 guess I have an odd one too. The Ghost and 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.199 the Darkness. It's a film in which he plays a 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.960 builder who goes to Africa and his project is upended 0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:01.600 because of two lions that are killing. He's with Michael 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.960 Douglass in the movie. It's a wonderful film. It's called 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.680 The Ghost and the darkness. But anyway, we're going to 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.440 talk some more about Val Kilmer this morning and some 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.680 of those iconic roles of course, iceman and whatnot, but 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:14.480 said to wake up to the news that he has 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.760 passed away at the age of sixty five. More on 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.640 him in just a moment, but also on this morning's run. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.959 Today's the day the markets and the world have been 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.479 bracing for. It's Liberation Day, the day President Trump announces 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.120 major new tariffs. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.720 And employees of the Department of Health and Human Services 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.759 are bracing themselves for the layoff emails that are now 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.760 being sent to thousands of employees. This week, plus, New 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.080 Jersey Senator Corey Booker has made history and his point 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.520 protesting against the Trump administration and its policies. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.000 Also this morning, twenty three states and the District of 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.320 Columbia are suing the Trump administration, demanding billions of dollars 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.000 they say they're owed. Also, the tens of millions of 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.280 dollars Elon Musk poured into the Wisconsin State Supreme Court 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.480 did not buy him the election results he was hoping. 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.360 For, and Attorney General Pampondi is going for the death 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.640 penalty against alleged CEO healthcare killer Luigi Mangione after Trump 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.720 reinstated federal executions on day one of his presidency, and. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.440 Also this morning, Tiger Woods, for the Wind, the world 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.840 renowned golfer, took a shot at becoming an international prankster 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.760 a lot of pranks yesterday on April Fool's Day, Tiger 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.080 Woods got in on the action. We never got word 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.280 on the sour Patch kids. Did they ever officially say 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:29.960 we were just joking? 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.760 All I know is at late yesterday we had Sabine 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:35.960 come in saying that it was still up and that 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.359 it still looked like it was just patch kids. Okay, well, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.639 we'll have to look for an update on that, all right, But. 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.240 We're going to start first leg of our run this 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.799 morning with the news of the passing of really a 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:51.400 Hollywood legend who had some iconic roles. We're talking Val Kilmer. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.000 He has passed away, as family says, he died last 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.160 night at home in La surrounded by family and friends. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.840 Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer back in two twenty fourteen, 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.760 and dealt with complications from it over the years. He 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.359 had undergone a tracheotomy twice. He used a voice box, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.480 but Ultimately he lost his ability to speak. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.079 His family said he died of pneumonia. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.080 So you where where do you even want to start 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.720 with his career And most people will start with Iceman, 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.480 Batman or Jim Morrison. Those three rolls were standouts in 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.720 his career that really spanned really the late eighties thoroughly 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:31.359 into the nineties. He had a superstar turn. Different reasons 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.760 for those three roles being standouts in his career. He 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.680 was giving critical praise for his portrayal Jim Morrison in 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.120 The Doors that was nineteen ninety one, and then he 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.320 took over as the Caped Crusader in nineteen ninety five's 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.840 Batman Forever. Now a lot of Batman movies in that 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.120 this was the one that had Nicole Kidman. Jim Carrey 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.520 was the rittler, Tom Tommy Lee Jones was two faced, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.200 crist O'Donnell was Robin. But yes, he that's a big deal, 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.040 and that was a big deal. It's almost like James Bond. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.960 You wait to see who's going to be the next Bond. Yeah, 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.440 that was at a time you're waiting he was going 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.920 to be the next Batman and he got. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.360 The role, and what a cast that was. That movie 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.080 was a commercial success, but it wasn't a critical one, 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.680 and Kilmer never returned as Batman, so he was one 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.840 and done. George Cooney, if you may remember, took over 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.279 after him. But before all of that Batman stuff, there 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:23.160 was yes, Top Gun. He played opposite Tom Cruise as 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.880 the talented, arrogant fighter pilot Iceman. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.039 Yeah, he said, actually that was a role he didn't 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.840 want initially, simply he had no interest in the movie 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.840 in the character. He only agreed to become Iceman after 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:37.640 they agreed to beef up the character, which of course 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.520 they did. He was able to reprise that role as 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.440 Iceman in Top Gun Maverick, I guess in twenty twenty two. 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.160 But that was a you know, you were happy to 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.880 see him bag. We knew all the health issues he 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.240 had had, and I'm so glad that Tom Cruise gave 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.800 him a role in that movie. But he communicated in 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.159 that movie. His character communicated via text message for the 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.040 most part, and you weren't able to hear his voice. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.880 We saw that together, and that was one of the 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.440 big controversies. People either loved it or they hated it. 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.240 I personally, it was a little weird, but I liked it. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.080 I liked the nod to him, and I liked that 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.760 they were able to bring back his character with him 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:15.040 present in the movie. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.560 He needed to be in that movie. I agree, really 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.160 really happy they were able to do that. But you 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.599 go back a little further, and I think he was 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.640 obviously a harp throw up, a very good looking guy 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.039 for some of these roles. But this was a guy 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.919 who was dedicated to his craft. He was at the 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.040 time he was accepted, he was the youngest person to 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.560 ever be admitted to the prestigious Juilliard School. He was 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.800 known for his commitment to roles in method acting, in particular. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.760 Now we talked about him playing Jim Morrison in The Doors. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.880 They said he actually constantly just wore leather pants and 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.240 blasted the Doors music for a full year wow in 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.800 getting ready for that role. And then the scene in 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.159 Tombstone he had a death scene at the end on 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.479 a deathbed. They actually say he requested a real bed 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.840 of real ice for him to lay in so he 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.480 could portray that feeling of dying of tuberculosis. Like he 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:08.720 was that kind of committed. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.479 To It's interesting you mentioned he was the heartthrowe. I 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.200 think that is part of one of the reasons why 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.280 I fell in love with him in Willow. And yes, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.520 he was certainly a good looking dude, but yes, his 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.159 acting chops were legit. I mean, he really really took 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.040 his craft seriously. And you think about all of those 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.800 movies and all of the range of characters he played, 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:25.800 he was excellent. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.839 I didn't realize you go back. He was into his 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.880 first two movies with kind of comedy Spouce, Top Secret 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.080 and Real Genius. Those were in eighty four and eighty five. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.039 Have you seen those? Those? 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:36.880 I have not. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.000 But of course he was Doc Holliday and Tombstone we 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:41.720 just mentioned if you're not familiar with that, that was 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.400 a really interesting and fun role that he played. He 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.440 was very very good in that one. He was in 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.479 heat as a bank robber. What was that? De Niro 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.279 and al Pacino were both in that movie as well. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.479 Ghost in the Darkness. I encourage you to all go 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.520 check that one out. That was in ninety six. But 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.240 he survived by his kids, Mercedes and Jack. I five 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.680 years ago he did a movie called pay Dirt. I 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.800 think it was his last film on which he starred 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.280 in but he got to be in that movie with 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:15.440 his daughter Mercedes, and I had a full interview, was 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.600 supposed to be just with him. She needed to be 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.240 there because she needed to help me understand what he 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:20.560 was saying. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.640 He was just so difficult with his voice spot. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.040 To understand, but to hear him. I think one of 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.440 the first things he said, he said, I feel better 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.480 than I sound, and he was so upbeat. Listening to him, 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.640 you're devastated. But then when you see his energy, like, wow, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.160 he's in a better move than I am. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.400 I was going to point that out. We have over 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.320 the years a Good Morning America. He's been interviewed, and 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.400 we have watched him and heard him, and I was 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.840 always struck by his joy. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.440 He had like a lightness about. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:55.200 Him and a gratefulness about him despite his physical ailments. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.240 I mean, imagine, your craft is acting. Your voice is 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.560 part of your instrument in doing what you love. And 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.280 he lost that, and yet he never lost his that 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:09.840 sparkle in his eye, that wit and charm and laughter 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.200 that you saw it was still there despite all of 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.720 his physical inabilities. That was so inspiring to me, and 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.760 it still is to this day. He brought that joy 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:23.160 every day. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.560 You know what I never got to tell him, and 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.480 this is sometimes you never know the impact you're going 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.160 to have on people. But there's a scene in Top 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.760 Gun in which he's sitting in the class with all 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.120 the other fighter pilots. Tom Cruise looks back at him 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.360 and he's twirling a pen through his fingers. He's just 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.480 twirling it. To this day, I know how to do 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.840 that because of Val Kilmer, because I went to school, 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.680 elementary school, and every day I practiced that is that weird? 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.760 Just that's why I know. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.280 I hadn't thought about that, but Val Kilmer. I can 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.400 do something today because if I saw Val Kilmer doing 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.360 in a movie when I was in elementary school. Just 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.520 it's amazing how people and just art and movies and 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.840 music whatever it is, can have an impact on people 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.679 in ways you never ever know. And who knows how 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.400 many people have vow Kilmer stories out there. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.760 Yeah, that's pretty cool. Well, I would love to watch 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.720 The Ghost in the Darkness today. I have not seen it, 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.560 and I would encourage you. We could watch Willow together too, 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.679 because that is one of my favorites. 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.240 It's all about vow Kilmer today. But yeah, sorry to 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.640 hear about his passing at the age of sixty five. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.160 We certainly are. We're going to move on on the 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.280 Run next up on Wednesday's Morning Run. We have mentioned 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.720 before on this podcast that the stock market doesn't really 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.480 like uncertainty, so it should come as no surprise that 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:38.679 the markets have been volatile and shaky all in anticipation 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:39.760 of today. 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.040 What is today, you asked, It's Literation Day. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.080 No, it's not a federal holiday, but that is what 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.880 President Trump is calling today, the much anticipated day where 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.240 he is going to announce his new tariffs that earlier 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.400 this week he referred to as the Big One. The 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.760 announcement is expected at a ceremony at four o'clock Eastern today. 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.640 The details of the tariffs are still unknown, which is 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.280 one of the major reasons the market have been so unstable. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.679 The idea of a Liberation Day, experts say, suggests that 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.680 these tariffs we're going to hear about are not temporary, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.320 but rather they're going to be put in place to 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.760 provide a permanent source of revenue for the United States. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.800 Lan Trump administration officials say these tariffs could reduce our 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.840 deficit and balance our budget. Critics say these tariffs will 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.000 dismantle our relationship with allies, and not just our trade 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.840 relationships with them, but our defense ones as well. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.440 The markets dropped early in the day, but by closed 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.199 they made up some ground. The S and P went 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.000 from a six month low to eventually closing slightly up. 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.800 Futures are showing the markets slightly down by half a 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.640 percentage point. The bottom line, it's anyone's guess how the 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.000 markets are going to react to what Trump will announce today, 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.079 which is also anyone's guests. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.520 Let's continue on the run here now. With thousands of layoffs, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.520 we knew they were coming, but they are now officially 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.080 underway at the US Department of Health and Human Services. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.800 Pink slips via email started going out yesterday. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.240 The department is ultimately expected to lay off up to 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:01.040 ten thousand people. Critics say these huts will mean that 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.720 we're going to lose key experts like researchers, scientists, doctors 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.480 who have all played major roles within the department when 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.559 it comes to approving drugs and other big decisions. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.120 And they say timing is everything and may have just 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.720 been bad timing, But Health UH Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.880 just so happened to post a celebratory message to his 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:25.000 new hires to lead the NIH and the FDA, just 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:30.240 hours after employees started receiving the you're fired emails. Kennedy wrote, 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.200 the revolution begins today. Bad timing, bad taste. You got 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.040 to be aware of that. That doesn't look. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.720 Yeah it does, a lot of folks said, hey, really, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.560 we don't need to see the celebration of, you know, 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.319 paving the new way forward while all of us are 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.520 now getting pink slips. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.080 It was, yeah, definitely bad timing. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.080 All right, we'll stay with us here on this Wednesday 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.400 Morning run. When we come back. Senator Corey Booker hopefully 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:54.000 is napping right now, and it is much deserved federal 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:58.280 government bringing back the death penalty and Tiger Woods the 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.360 greatest golfer. Ever, some would argue he might be one 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:12.079 of the greatest pranksters as well. Stavid Us. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.319 Welcome back everyone to Wednesday's morning run. Next up on 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.480 the run, Senator Corey Booker has talked himself right into 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.520 the history books. The New Jersey Democrat finally wrapped up 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.800 his marathon Senate speech last night. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.000 That's Tuesday night. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.719 Yeah, he started the speech on Monday night, saying he 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.920 would speak as long as he was physically able as 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.840 a protest against President Trump, Elon Musk, and the policies 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.320 and priorities of this administration. He wrapped up around eight 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:42.720 oh five last night, his official time twenty five hours 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.080 and six minutes. He had officially taken the floor at 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.040 six fifty nine pm on Monday night. So this now 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.439 sets a new record for the longest speech ever given 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:54.880 in the US set it's. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.160 Forty five minutes longer than the previous longest Senate speech 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.840 ever from segregationist Strong Thurman, who spoke more than twenty 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.880 four hours in nineteen fifty seven in opposition of this 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.240 Civil Rights Act. Booker, who never said his goal was 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.280 to break Thurman's record, did at one point acknowledge the 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.600 symbolism I love what he said. He said, I'm not 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.920 here because of his speech. I'm here despite it. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.320 Then it's twenty five plus hours of speaking. Cory Booker 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.080 did not get breaks necessarily to leave the chamber, but 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.840 he did get breaks in talking from a number of 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.560 his Democratic colleagues who are allowed to ask him questions. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.400 And trust me, these were not short questions. They were long, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.960 drawn out, little speeches. That gave him a chance at 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.720 least rest his voice, but other than that, he never 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.160 necessarily got a break. He hass some water up there, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.120 but he didn't leave the chamber. He did not go 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.080 to the bathroom h twenty five plus hours. 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.160 My jaw dropped when I saw this. So this is 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.280 how he did it, because I just didn't think that 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.040 was possible. He said he prepared by not eating anything 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.120 anything in the days leading up to the speech. 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.280 He didn't drink anything. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.960 After Sunday, he said he actually tried to de high 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.440 a bit so he wouldn't have to use the bathroom, 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.160 and at the end he said he wanted to stop 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.920 talking in order to go deal with some biological urgencies. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:13.480 I'm feeling, really that's remarkable to not use the restroom 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:14.760 and probably not advisable. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.480 You know, That's the new thing I'm going to use 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.160 in mixed company. I'm not going to say I'm going 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.640 to the restroom. I need to go deal with some 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.080 biological urgencies. I like that. That should be the new way. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.720 We also announced we're going to the bathroom. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.200 I don't know. 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.840 That could mean a lot of things, though. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.480 That's the thing. It leaves to the imagination. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.000 But I don't want to think of it. All the 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:30.680 things they could mean. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:31.440 Oh my god. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.120 All right, moving on next up on the Run, The 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.640 Feds have announced they are seeking the death penalty against 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.880 Luigi Mangio and the man accused of murdering United Healthcare. 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.160 CEO Brian Thompson. 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.920 Attorney General Pambondi made the announcement, saying the murder of quote, 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.720 an innocent man and father of two young children, was 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:55.160 a premeditated, cold blooded assassination that shocked America. 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.200 Hey Bondi said her decision was part of President Trump's 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.360 agenda to stop violent crime make America safe again. Mangioni's 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.040 attorney reacted by saying the decision to execute her client 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.400 goes against the recommendation of local and federal prosecutors, and 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.120 added by doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.680 and murderous health care industry that continues to terrorize the 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:16.440 American people. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:17.960 Yeah out. 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.600 On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.720 order restoring the use of the federal death penalty. Former 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.000 President Biden had stopped federal executions back in twenty twenty one. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.960 Mangioni is accused of brazenly killing Thompson outside the Hilton 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.200 Hotel in Midtown, Manhattan on December fourth of last year. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.240 He is pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.200 here in New York State, but has not yet entered 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.840 a plea in the federal cases against him. 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.320 Want we continue on our run here now and stop us? 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.800 If you've heard this one before. The Trump administration is 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.560 being sued, and most of you are saying, Okay, TJ 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.720 stop because we have heard that before. So yes, being sued. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.200 But what for this time? This time it's twenty three 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.400 states in the District of Columbia, specifically taking aim at 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.480 the Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary RFK Junior. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.360 The states want their money, at least what they believe 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.520 is money. There due eleven billion dollars in grants from 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.560 the federal government. The Trump administration announced last month it 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.240 would be ending that funding as part of its review 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.080 of federal spending, saying that eleven billion dollars was allocated 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.200 to the states during the COVID nineteen pandemic. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.520 Yeah, isn't that interesting? In their estimation at least the 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.360 Trump administration, why are we continuing to spend billions of 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.920 dollars on a pandemic that no longer exists. The states 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.040 are arguing that AHHS has no legal right to hold 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.120 that funding. Their argument here is, yes, we took that 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.960 money and we built and we created certain programs in 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:45.400 our states, and we need those programs to keep going. However, 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.360 the money was only supposed to be for COVID nineteen 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.040 and for the pandemic. So we said, twenty three states 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.680 have brought suits. Guess how many states have Democratic governor's roopes. 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.360 I'm going to go with twenty three. Wow, I'm smart, 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.240 all right. Next up on our own elon Musk's twenty 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.080 million dollar investment it did not pay off. That is 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.920 how much he poured into the Wisconsin Supreme Court race 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.400 to back the conservative candidate, Republican Brad Shimmel. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.560 Yeah, Shimmel lost last night to the Democratic supported candidate 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.080 Susan Crawford in a race that got national attention. He 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.439 got big names and big money. In fact, it is 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:27.040 the most expensive judicial race in US history and estimated 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.720 one hundred million dollars was poured into this campaign. 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.080 Former President Obama chimed in with support for Crawford. President 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:38.480 Trump backed Shimmel Elon Musk personally campaigned in Wisconsin for Shimmel. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.480 Why was this such a critical race? 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.159 Yeah, her win now keeps the state's Supreme Court with 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.639 a four to three liberal lean the court and this 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.880 all important swing state is expected to make big decisions 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.239 on voting rights, redistricting, abortion rights that could have an 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.560 impact on national politics. This is not supposed to be 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.320 a partisan seat, even though yes it was a versus Republican. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:03.040 But this is a ten year term. This is a 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.680 big deal. So politics, we're gonna in a few years 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.080 gonna be saying this in Wisconsin. Man. You know, elections 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.640 have consequences because they're gonna point to this and they're 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.720 gonna be decisions made. And this is the night they're 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.720 gonna point to. Is this is why this is happening? 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:21.959 All right? Very interesting? 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:26.679 All right, Final leg. We're here on this Wednesday morning, 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.720 Final leg. Perhaps the most talked about April Fool's Day 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:35.200 joke came to us courtesy of world renowned jokester Tiger Woods. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.160 We know a lot about this dude. Knowing him as 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.919 a jokester or prankster is not necessarily the thing, So 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.639 this was cool to see him do He's a fifteen 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.639 time Major winner, widely regarded possibly as the greatest golfer ever. 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.440 He announced just last month, though, that he had suffered 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:50.840 a torn achilles. 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.760 Yeah, so that type of injury typically has a six 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:57.040 to nine month recovery time. But Tiger went to X 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.760 yesterday and wrote this, I'm gonna quote him here. I 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.800 can't believe I am saying this, But a few weeks 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:07.240 after rupturing my left achilles, sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber, 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.040 plus the expensive lifts, my doctors and trainers have me 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.080 ready to play them Masters next week. 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.399 Can't wait. See y'all on the course. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.399 Okay, and eyebrow went up for a second, for just 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.520 a second, and I needed to remember because I read 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.720 his statement there several times, and then I had to 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.600 remember it was April Fool's Day. And that's why I said, 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:34.479
