1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, October twenty ninth. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Holmes. October twenty ninth. It's a day of contradictions, Robe.

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: We got a lot of, I guess, kind of some

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: dire headlines today. Snap benefits are about to run out,

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: Folks are struggling, don't know how they're going to put

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: food on the table. Now, we're getting word that two

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: of the biggest employers in the country are cutting five

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: figure numbers of jobs. But at the same time we

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: get word that Apple just went over a trillion dollars

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: four trillion dollars port trillion. Yes, okay, yeah, only one

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: of three three companies. Okay, So what is going on

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: that we have these two Americas going on?

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is extreme on both ends, sadly,

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: and uh, there's no real there's no progress that's being

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: made in the middle of I'm helping everybody, and Congress

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: is what chillin'.

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: It also almost feels like we're going backwards with the shutdown,

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: like we're not getting closer to a resolution. It looks

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: like we're getting farther away. We'll give you the latest

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: on where we are there and ropes. I talk about contradictions.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: There are air strikes in Gaza by Israel, but we're

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: told the ceasefire is still in place.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: It makes zero sense. And we're talking now the numbers.

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: The death toll from those air strikes is going up

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: throughout the morning. So it is concerning that both things

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: could be true.

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: All right, folks, We've got a lot to get to

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: this morning. As always, we want to remind you top

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: right corner of that Apple podcast app where you see

32
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 2: our show page, a little button says follow you click

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: that make sure our updates are coming to you. Also,

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: we have to get into this morning. What is sixty

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: four dead in Rio? We were thinking of some natural disaster. No, no, no, folks,

36
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: this was part of a police raid. We'll tell you

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: why the UN wants to get involved in that. Of course.

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: Now all the news we knew this was coming roads

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: the news about Thailand all the present and it says

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: President pregnant women do not take talanol. Well, there is

41
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: a lawsuit now, folks, going after the makers of talanol.

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: In particular. A state is doing so. Also this morning,

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: there is a group folks that are supposed to advise

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: the president when it comes to construction in Washington, DC.

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: We'll tell you what he just did with all members

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: of that commission. You could probably guess. Also, the World

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Series was a bit of a boor last night, Rose

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: it only went nine innings.

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, n I like how you added last night.

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: Just nine innings.

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: Wait, a bit of a bore last night?

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: What I mean?

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Most baseball games are oh.

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: My god, I don't don't, don't. Don't get me fired up.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: Don't get me worked up this morning. Also, we have

56
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: a new Doctor Seuss book, who knew. We'll tell you

57
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: what that's about. And we have the very latest on

58
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: this hurricane Melissa coming out, which is still doing its

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: thing as we speak. So stick around. We need to

60
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: give you those updates and we'll give them to you

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: really quickly.

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: Yes, and we beg our run overseas. Were Israel resumed? Yes,

63
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: those air strikes in Gaza overnight latest reports at least

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: one hundred and four people killed. But we're told the

65
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: ceasefire is holding.

66
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll try to make sense to that. But Israeli

67
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin Nanya, who says he ordered what he

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: called powerful strikes because Hamas has violated the ceasefire agreement.

69
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: He says he accused the militant group of firing on

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: Israeli soldiers in Gaza, killing one, and Israel says Hamas

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: isn't holding up its end of the deal to return

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: the remains of remaining hostages. They released a video. There's

73
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: like a fourteen minute video that they say shows Hamas

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: members staging the discovery of remains. Now, we've looked at

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: this video and robes. It clearly shows I don't know

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: who they are, but it shows them digging a fresh hole,

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: putting remains in it, covering those remains with dirt, and

78
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: then calling over like a Red crossworker to say, look

79
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: look what we found. They released this video of that happening.

80
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: They say this is a violation.

81
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Wow. All right. While President Trump said Israel was in

82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: fact justified in its response with those airstrikes, he said

83
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: he is also still confident in the ceasefire holding.

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: All right.

85
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, we're going to turn to

86
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: the very latest on Hurricane Melissa. The storm is now

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: it's still a category three and this morning it did

88
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: make its second landfall in Cuba, and that island is

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: now dealing with severe flooding.

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to be dealing with it for a

91
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: good chunk of the day today. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands

92
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: of people remain without power in Jamaica, where Melissa May

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: landfall Tuesday as a Category five storm, winds above one

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five miles per hour. It is officially

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: the strongest storm to ever hit Jamaica, and it's one

96
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded. It is expected

97
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: to go across Cuba this morning and then hit the

98
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: Bahamas later in the day.

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: All right, we turn now to Rio de Janeiro, where

100
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: sixty four people died yesterday in a massive police operation

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: and now the United Nations wants an immediate investigation.

102
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: And what's described as the largest raid in the city's history,

103
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: thousands of police and military personnel targeted one of the

104
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: largest criminal gangs in Brazil. Clashes turned the streets into

105
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: war zones. Ultimately, eighty one arrests were made, drugs and

106
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: weapons were confiscated. Four police officers were among the sixty

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: four killed.

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, we're going to head back

109
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: home and the latest on the government shutdown. We are

110
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: now in day twenty nine and the Senate keeps giving

111
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: us a literal demonstration of insanity, doing the same thing

112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: over and over again and expecting a different results.

113
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Yes, these leaders of ours voted for a thirteenth time

114
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: yesterday on the same Republican backed short term spending measure

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: that would reopen the government. And yes, for the thirteenth

116
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: time it failed. House of Representatives remains out of session,

117
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: they ain't even at work, and Speaker of Mike Johnson

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: says he is going to stick to his stands that

119
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: there's no reason to bring them back to work until

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: the Senate does its work and acts in some way

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 2: form of fashion.

122
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: And now a new fight is erupting over Snap benefits,

123
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: which are slated to run out on Saturday. Democrats are

124
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: calling on the administration to release billions in reserve funds

125
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: to keep the food benefits flowing to low income Americans,

126
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: but the White House is pushing back, claiming it doesn't

127
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: have the legal authority to use those funds for Snap benefits.

128
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: And now twenty five states are suing over the suspension

129
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: of Snap benefits and want a judge to force the

130
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: administration to tap into that reserve fund. Those twenty five states,

131
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: all Democratic states and Democratic folks who are part of

132
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: this suing. Without a resolution, forty two million Americans who

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: rely on SNAP also of course called the food Stamp

134
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: program are not going to get their benefits starting on Saturday.

135
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, air traffic controllers missed their first full paychecks of

136
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: the shutdown yesterday. And get this, just in terms of

137
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: a sign of the times, airlines are actually now providing

138
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: meals for air traffic controllers. We're talking Delta, United, Jet Blue,

139
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: and that's what they're trying to do to at least

140
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: give them some sort of something broke.

141
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: We don't need this full. Your air traffic controller that's

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: in control of your safety while you're in the air

143
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: is worried about paying their electric bill and they're hungry.

144
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: B I saw. That's a shame. That is a shame.

145
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: And the Transportation Secretary Secretary Sean Duffy said they continue

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: to get a higher than normal number of sick calls.

147
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: A lot of controllers are stressed, of course about finances,

148
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: so they call in sometimes I just need a day off.

149
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: But a lot of them, Roji said, are calling in

150
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: sick because they're calling in sick to the job that's

151
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: not giving them a check so they can go spend

152
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: time at another job that will pay them. They said,

153
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: a lot of them are turning to driving upers is

154
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: where we are. So get this stat from Sunday, eighty

155
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred flight delays on Sunday. I don't know what

156
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: the normal number is, so let me just say that

157
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: part first. But to hear that forty four percent of

158
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: the delays were because of staffing shortages. This is dangerous

159
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: and it's not just inconvenient.

160
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: It's dangerous. So yeah, that's a very good point. You

161
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: don't want a tired, upset, nervous, anxious air traffic controller.

162
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, Next up on the run. Did you know

163
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: there is a Commission on Fine Arts in Washington?

164
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: I wasn't aware, did you.

165
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: I did not know that either.

166
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: It spent a lot of time with him.

167
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: Now. So it's an independent federal agency whose job it

168
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: is to give expert advice to the President on matters

169
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: of design and esthetics in the nation's capital and review

170
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: design proposals for government buildings.

171
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: Fired all of them. President just fired all of them.

172
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: Got six of them on the Commission fired all of them.

173
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: These are the people who would approve plans to give

174
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: advice about what you're going to do with these twins

175
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: in your ballroom and putting an arch in the city.

176
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: Those people have all been fired. And how were they fired? Well,

177
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: they got a nice little email yesterday that simply said,

178
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: quote on behalf of President Donald J. Trump. I am

179
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: writing to inform you that your position as a member

180
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: of the Commission of Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately.

181
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: All were previously appointed by President Biden, and we're expected

182
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: to serve a four year term that ends in twenty

183
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight. But the White House said Trump is going

184
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: to appoint a new commission more aligned with President Trump's

185
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: America First policies.

186
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: Translation, my people that will do what I tell them

187
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: to do, Yes, exactly. And he's a president. He has

188
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 2: a right to do that. I guess. Thanks up on

189
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: the run here now. Several major US companies have announced

190
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: significant layoffs. Amazon among them, send a message to its

191
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: employees Tuesday that it would be cutting fourteen thousand jobs

192
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: as it shifts its resources to artificial intelligence.

193
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: And Ups announced it had cut thirty four thousand jobs

194
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: and a they did fourteen thousand management positions in just

195
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: the first nine months of this year. So for those

196
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: of you trying to do the math, that is a

197
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: total of forty eight thousand jobs gone so far this

198
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: year at UPS. Target also said it's planning to act

199
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred corporate roles and notified its home state of

200
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota that it plans to lay off more than eight

201
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: hundred employees in January as it restructures, and finally, CBS

202
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: parent company paramount S guidance is expected to eliminate more

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: than one thousand positions today. Those folks will literally be

204
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: getting their notices today.

205
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: And even before all this news, layoffs have been trending

206
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: higher in the US nearly nine hundred and fifty thousand

207
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: cuts so far this year through September. That is the

208
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: latest data we have because the government such shut down,

209
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 2: so we're not getting the most up to date information.

210
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Robe You put a good point in here. The Fed

211
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: has a very important job to do and they won't

212
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: have the information they need to make it.

213
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they decide on the next interest rate decision

214
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to cut it tomorrow, but

215
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: they don't have the latest jobs numbers, which absolutely typically

216
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: would factor into their decision.

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't think about you. We were talking about

218
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,119
Speaker 2: the shutdown. People don't know how to plan for the holidays,

219
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: that people are buying tickets. What's your budget going to

220
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: be in all this? I didn't think as well. Halloween

221
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 2: is a very big budget holiday and it's for kids

222
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: and families.

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: Yep, I mean costumes cost money. All that candy cost money.

224
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, if you're a house that's highly visited,

225
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: you're talking hundreds of dollars that people just might not

226
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: have now at this point as just extra backup for

227
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: some holiday.

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I skipped right over Halloween, was thinking about thanks youving.

229
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: This is a big family, This is big for kids.

230
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: This is another day that parents really want to make

231
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: special for their kids.

232
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: When my kids were younger. Actually, I was actually feeling

233
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: a little sad about it today because this week was

234
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: so much fun getting the costumes ready. But it also

235
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: costs money. And yes, my mom used to make our

236
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: costumes from scratch, but still, I mean that's time, that's money,

237
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: all these things that folks don't have these days. All Right, meantime,

238
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: with all of that bad news, some companies appear to

239
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: actually be doing exceptionally well. Apple on Tuesday became the

240
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: third company ever to break through that four trillion dollar

241
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: market value. It didn't last for long. Apple ended the

242
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: trading day just below the historic threshold, really close, at

243
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: three point nine to nine trillion.

244
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: But in Vidia and Microsoft they both crossed the four

245
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: trillion mark in July, and Videa's value has grown significantly

246
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: since then, closing at four point eight. Do I have

247
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: the right four point almost four point nine trillion? Yes,

248
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: they're about to cross correct at five.

249
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: Yes, y'all AI. It's all about the AI well.

250
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: Apple stock is also expected to climb higher after tomorrow's

251
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: earnings report, where financial experts expect the company to report

252
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: more than one hundred billion dollars in quarterly earnings. It's yes,

253
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: it makes your stomach turn. And this is why if

254
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: you're a politician, all you do is rail against the billionaires.

255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: You throw that out because you see these two worlds

256
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: not colliding, but there were two separate Americas.

257
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: It's all true. But when you've got trillion dollar companies

258
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: aligning themselves politically, that is the move. Because if people

259
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: have been noting, Apple CEO Tim Cook has been everywhere,

260
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: Trump has been recently, He's paid multiple visits to the

261
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Old Office. He attended that state dinner with King Charles

262
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: that they hosted in the UK and Trump's honor. He

263
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: also was with Trump again in Japan on Tuesday this week.

264
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: I missed that completely.

265
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: That was all noted. And the fact that most apple

266
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: products have been exempt from tariffs. Those two things aren't

267
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: just coincidental.

268
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: You know what we look, it's good that we folks

269
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: want to criticize. And why you at this event? You

270
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: know what they are producing for their investors. This is

271
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: business and it sucks if you are. You don't want

272
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: to be on the wrong side of Trump. But you

273
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: look at November one, all this is going on, and

274
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: your nervous that your snap benefits aren't going to get

275
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: put into the account because of what ooh this one's okay, fine,

276
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: shut down a couple of days. Figured out, you made

277
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: your points. Come on, ladies and gentlemen.

278
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed, Oh yeah, yeah, all right, sorry, all right.

279
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Texas assuing the makers of

280
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: tail and all the state claims the companies behind the

281
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: common painkiller used deceptive marketing practices to sell their product

282
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: to pregnant women despite alleged links to autism.

283
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: Okay, we have to say this always out loud. The

284
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: medical community consensus here. The links don't exist. There is

285
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: nothing at least in the evidence right now. You want

286
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: to keep studying, knock yourself out, But the doctors will

287
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: tell you there is nothing that they have seen, and

288
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: this has been studied at nauseum that makes a direct

289
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: link between taking tail and All and higher rates of autism. Well,

290
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: there's despite what the medical community says about this, The

291
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: Texas AG said, quote, these corporations lied for decades, knowingly

292
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: in endangering millions to line their pockets. Of course, it

293
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: was just last month we saw the president. It's a

294
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: pretty big announcement. He said. It was one of the

295
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: most important press conferences he's ever done at the White House.

296
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: He had the doctors around him, and he flat out.

297
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: So pregnant women do not take Thailand All because of

298
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: the links. The company responded robe saying that it is

299
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: deeply concerned by the perpetuation of mis information.

300
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: That would make sense, because I'm sure their investors are

301
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: deeply concerned as well.

302
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: You know, I want what are pregnant women doing now?

303
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I like, what are they being advised?

304
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Are they? Are there women? There have to be there

305
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: are women cutting back on taking. Of course they are,

306
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: of course, which doctors will tell them. You're probably putting

307
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: yourself at more risk by doing that. Correct. All right, well,

308
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: folks on this what is it Wednesday?

309
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday.

310
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, on this Wednesday morning, Folks, stay with us

311
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: when we come back on this morning run. Yes, Game

312
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: four of the World Series. Normally it would have been

313
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 2: an exciting one, but after game the standards were a

314
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: little different. And Doctor Seuss, we have just discovered a

315
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: brand new never before seen or even known about Doctor

316
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: Seus's book. Yes, a new one is coming our waves.

317
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: They here continuing our Wednesday Morning ron and next up

318
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: on the run. Game four of the World Series Snoozefest

319
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: only went nine innings last night.

320
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: By yes, after that eighteen inning doozy in Game three,

321
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: my hopes were up for another classic. It was a

322
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: good game, but nothing like that. But Game four last night,

323
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays bounced back to beat the LA Dodgers

324
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: six to two. The series now tie two to two.

325
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: Game five is tonight in La and Rose. Because it's

326
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: two too, it means we're guaranteed to get a game

327
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: six as well. That's very exciting.

328
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: Thank god. Yeah, did you hear Brad Paisley is now

329
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: mister Moore baseball? Did you see this story? It's all

330
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: the headlines, So this is actually so interesting. He performed

331
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the national anthem during, of course, that eighteen inning matchup,

332
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: but guess what. He also performed the anthem before the

333
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: previous one, the one that actually was the longest eighteen

334
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: inning matchup when the Dodgers outlasted the Boston Red Sox,

335
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: also a Game three. He also performed the anthem before

336
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: an eleven inning Game two in the twenty seventeen World

337
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Series and a ten inning game Game one in LA

338
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: last year. So he says, every time he performs the

339
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: national anthem, they go into extra innings.

340
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: What can you name it? I'm sorry, I don't want

341
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 2: to put you on the spot. A Brad Paisley hit

342
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: song or anything. I was wondering if he had Maybe

343
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: he has a something that naturally goes into this. I

344
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: don't know his songs, but that is funny. He's the guy.

345
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: He does have a famous song that is not coming

346
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: to mind right.

347
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: Now, whiskey lullaby, She's everything she's ever did. That's the one.

348
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one.

349
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not really a baseball story, but no, no songles.

350
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: That is kind of a cool nugget.

351
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: All right.

352
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: For the final leg of the run.

353
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,399

00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: time capsule of his imagination. Theodore Sus Geisel, Yes Sus

369
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: the name. I don't think I knew Doctor Seus's real name.

370
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: I did neither. That's why when she said Ted. I

371
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: scratch my head and then realized, Okay, his name is
