This morning, Pope 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: Francis has died, just a day after the faithful and 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 2: the world saw him frail but still triumphant as he 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: gave the traditional Easter blessing and greeted crowds. We do 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 2: have everything you need to know about this fast moving, 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 2: breaking story, as information has been coming into us for 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: the past several hours. We'll give you the very latest 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: as we know it. 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: Also on this busy morning run, that Eastern truce between 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine did not last very long, and more 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: states reporting measles cases. Plus the Pentagon needs a new 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: cell phone policy. 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 2: Also on the run this morning, Supreme Court justices were 17 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: up late Friday. Trump probably wishes they'd gone to bed early, 18 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: and turns out that White House, how else list of 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: demands to Harvard wasn't actually ever supposed to be sent 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: to Harvard whoops. 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: And the most famous marathon in the world gets underway 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: this morning. Plus Wendy's is trying to make up with 23 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Katie'll let you know how that's going. But first we 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: do begin this morning run with that sad and breaking news. 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: Pope Francis has died at the age of eighty eight. 26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: The Vatican said he died at seven thirty five am 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: Local time. That's about two thirty five am on the 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: East coast here in the US. So this happened while 29 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 2: most of us were sleeping and a lot of people 30 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: waking up to the news this morning. Francis, as they 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: put it, returned to the House of the Father Vatican, 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: saying his entire life was dedicated to the service of 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: the Lord and his Church. That dedication was on full 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: display over the past several days. 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: It certainly wasn't. Perhaps that's why it felt so shocking 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: when we heard the announcement early this morning, because he 37 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: had seemed to be improving. You and I looked up 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: at each other and just stared. There were no words. 39 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: We were genuinely shocked. Yesterday and for the past couple 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: of days, the Pope made several unannounced Holy Week appearances 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: despite his weakened condition. 42 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: As the doctors remember told the Pope needed to take 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: it easy. And why wouldn't they tell him that he'd 44 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: been in the hospital for a month. Yes, they told 45 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: him to avoid large crowds, I think specifically ropes. He 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: talked about even not being around children. 47 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: Yes, a lot. 48 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: Yes, he was in the hospital for thirty eight days. 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: He was fighting bronchitis initially turned into double pneumonia. His 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: doctors only recently revealed that the Ponta nearly died on 51 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: two occasions in fact, and one of them they were 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: making a decision. The doctors were to end treatment of 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: the Pope, but it was his personal nurse that came 54 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: in and said, nope, you try everything, you do, not stop. 55 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: And they were able to keep him going and he 56 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: was able to leave the hospital. And yes, even though 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: despite the doctors telling him to take it easy, it's 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: been fascinating to watch him or it was over the 59 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: past several days, continuing to do his work to the 60 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: last minute and fulfill his papal duties. 61 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was fascinating and it was inspiring. Yesterday, on 62 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: Easter Sunday, the Pope appeared from the balcony of Saint 63 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: Peter's Basilica to give his traditional Easter blessing without help 64 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: from any breathing apparatus. A lot of people noted. He said, 65 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, Happy Easter, and with an assistant reading 66 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: his Easter message, which will now perhaps be his final message, 67 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: Francis called for peace and an end to the war 68 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: in Gaza, saying, I appeal to the warring parties, call 69 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: a ceasefire, release the hostages, and come to the aid 70 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: of a starving people that aspires to a future of peace. 71 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: The pope later greeted crowds in Saint Peter's Square from 72 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: his popemobile for the first time since his hospitalization. This 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: was a very busy and turned out to be final 74 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: day for the Pope. Earlier, in the same day all 75 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: of this, on Easter, he held a private meeting with 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Vice President J. D. Vance. Officials said the two had 77 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: an exchange of opinions, as they put it, over migrants, 78 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: refugees and prisoners. 79 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: Yes, and Vance is a devout Catholic. He released this 80 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: on X today, tweeting I just learned of the passing 81 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions 82 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: of Christians all over the world who loved him. I 83 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: was happy to see him yesterday though he was obviously 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: very ill. But I'll always remember him for the below 85 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: homily he gave in the very early days of COVID. 86 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul. 87 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 2: And a lot of talk and attention is going to turn, 88 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: obviously to what happens now with the church. Well, there's 89 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: going to be now nine days of official morning, the 90 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: conclave where cardinals gather to choose the next pope. That's 91 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: not going to start for at least another fifteen days. 92 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: The pope will be taken to Saint Peter's Basilica, where 93 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: he will lie in state for three days. But it 94 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: won't look quite the same as previous popes. 95 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: That's right. Instead of an elaborate coffin made of Cyprus 96 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: lead and no, Pope Francis opted for a simple wooden 97 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: coffin lined with zinc. And he just made some of 98 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 1: these changes recently. He didn't want mourners to come see 99 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: his body, as we have seen with other popes raised 100 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: up on this large platform. Instead, his body will remain 101 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: in his coffin with the lid removed, and mourners can 102 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: pass by and pay their respects. Pope Francis will also 103 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: be the first pope in more than a century to 104 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: be buried outside the Vatican. He'll be buried in his 105 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: favorite church, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome. 106 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: The last pope to be buried there, by the way, 107 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: was in sixteen sixty nine. But he is going to 108 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: be remembered throughout the next days. We haven't heard from 109 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: a lot of world leaders yet. People are just waking 110 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: up to this news, but there will be so much 111 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: more reaction in the company is about what this pope 112 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: meant to the world. 113 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 2: And it's rare. This will be one of those cases 114 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: where an eighty eight year old man in poor health 115 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: who'd just spent a month in the hospital, where his 116 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: death can be shocking, shocking because of what we just 117 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: saw him do for Easter, and shocking because of the 118 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: direction he seemed to be going. But in all he 119 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: was doing, he was living like a man who knew 120 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: something we didn't know, who knew he was dying, who 121 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: knew he was going to die. We talk about this 122 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: all the time with people, whether you can your twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, 123 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: can you live like this could be your last day? 124 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: And it seemed like and there was something just poetic. 125 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: Sad as it is, but there is something beautiful about 126 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: what we saw him do over the past two months. 127 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and what he was able to do on the 128 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: holiest day of the Catholic calendar year on Easter, that 129 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: he was able to give that final message of peace, 130 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: That he was able to give that final blessing to 131 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: the crowds that had gathered there to see him on 132 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: Easter Sunday. It is fitting for a pope like Pope friends. 133 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 2: There any better way to put it. He got one 134 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: more Easter in Yeah, and then past seven hours later. 135 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, It's almost like he was waiting for that, like 136 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: he wanted to get to that. And then once he 137 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: fulfilled that last and final duty, I can go. He 138 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: could go there you go now. 139 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: Well again, a sad day for a lot of folks, 140 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 2: but wow, what the lessons he taught us over the 141 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: past couple of months. We will continue, though, here on 142 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: this Monday morning run with a different type of Eastern message, 143 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: this one from President Trump. Yes, he issued an Easter 144 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: message to the world via social media yesterday that included 145 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: words of hope and well wishes for people around the world, 146 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: and then he unloaded. 147 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: That's definitely a good way to put it. He unleashed 148 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: a long, strongly worded, and sarcastic happy Easter message directed 149 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: at Democrats as well as judges and law enforcement officials 150 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: that he deems as obstructions to his agenda. But he 151 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: saved his best and most biting stuff for former President Biden. 152 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: Now this is how he started it all. This was 153 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: part one of his Easter message. And he says, quote Malany, 154 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: and I would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter, 155 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: whether you are heading out to church or watching service 156 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: from home. May this day be full of peace and 157 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: joy for all who celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 158 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: He is risen boom bam done. Nice. Could have left 159 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: it there, but ahh, there is a part too. Now 160 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 2: and Robes, I debated about this. We are not going 161 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: to interpret this for you. We are just going to 162 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: read now in its entirety, the second part of President 163 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: Trump's Easter message to the world. Robes take it away. 164 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: Happy Easter to all, including the radical left, lunatics who 165 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: are fighting and scheming so hard to bring murderers, drug lords, 166 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: dangerous prisoners, the mentally insane and well known MS thirteen 167 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,119 Speaker 1: gang members and wife beaters back into our country. Happy Easter. 168 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: Also to the weak and ineffective judges and law enforcement 169 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our nation 170 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: to continue, an attack so violent that it will never 171 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: be forgotten. Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed millions of criminals 172 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: to enter our country totally unvetted and unchecked through an 173 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: open borders policy that will go down in history as 174 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: these single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He 175 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: was by far our worst and most incompetent president, a 176 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing. 177 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: But to him, to the person that ran and manipulated 178 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: the auto pen, perhaps our real president, and to all 179 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: of the people who cheated in the twenty twenty presidential 180 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: election in order to get this highly destructive moron elected, 181 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a 182 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: very happy Easter. I love that he added sincerity when 183 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: clearly it was anything but happy Easter. 184 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: And that's it. 185 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: It's not going to look. Everybody else is out there 186 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 2: and they can interpret it. We're just going to read 187 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: it to you in its entirety. That is what the 188 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: President of the United States passed along to the world 189 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 2: on Easter, not even Easter. Easter. We will continue here 190 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: on this morning day morning run with the Supreme Court. 191 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: This weekend of the Supreme Court, they told the Trump 192 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: administration stop doing what you're doing. The Justice has issued 193 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: an emergency order in the wee hours of Saturday morning 194 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: that blocks the administration from continuing to deport Venezuelans held 195 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: at a detendent center in Texas. 196 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: These Venezuelans have been the center of intense and ongoing 197 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: court battles recent weeks, as the administration has been deporting 198 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: to Venezuelan migrants under the rarely used Federal Alien Enemies Act, 199 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: which allows for quicker deportation if people deemed a threat 200 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: to this country. The Court votes seven to two. They 201 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: voted to seven to two to halt the deportation after 202 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: hearing an emergency appeal. 203 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Court didn't explain its reasoning in the order. 204 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: But this is a big deal because this has been 205 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: an ongoing controversy with President Trump. Yes, this is a 206 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 2: part of his immigration agenda, in trying to have a 207 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: safe border, in trying to get people out of the 208 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: country he deems are dangerous. So this is a major 209 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: ruling that they have shut this down at least temporarily. Now. 210 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: They didn't explain their reasoning, like I said, in doing so, 211 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: but two justices who dissented, they sure did make their 212 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: feelings known. These two justices were Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. 213 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: Alito wrote, literally in the middle of the night, the 214 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the 215 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 2: lower court a chance to rule, without hearing from the 216 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with 217 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: dubious factual support for its order. So some strong dissent there. 218 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 2: Don't know where that case is going next. Before now, 219 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: this controversial deal, and they've been talking about one person 220 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: in particular who was accidentally deported that case. That story continues, 221 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. Things stop for now. This isn't over just yet. 222 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: But that was an important. 223 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Update this COO all right, Well, next up on the run. 224 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: So much for an Eastern truce between Russia and Ukraine. 225 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: Now both sides are blaming the other for breaking what 226 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: was announced to be an end to fighting for thirty 227 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: hours in honor of the Easter holiday. 228 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, on Saturday, putin announced the truce to start later 229 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: that day at six o'clock local time, and and at 230 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: midnight in Moscow. On Sunday, Ukraine agreed, but then Ukraine 231 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: the president Zelensky, he claimed its front line had been 232 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 2: attacked more than two thousand times since the beginning of Sunday. 233 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: What he's talking about, they'd been hit some twenty three 234 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 2: hundred times by artillery fired by Russia. So that's where 235 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: two thousand times. It sounds like a lot, but they've 236 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 2: been counting how many of those. 237 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: Long yet, and Russia was counting too, because it claims 238 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: it defended itself against hundreds of drones and shells coming 239 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: from Ukraine in the same time period. They gave specific numbers, 240 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: saying Ukraine fired four hundred and forty four times from 241 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: guns and mortars and carried out nine hundred drone strikes. 242 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Very specific. Zelenski said Russia was only trying to create 243 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: a pr campaign and an impression of a ceasefire, while 244 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: Russia insists its troops strictly observed the ceasefire. 245 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, even though there was still some fighting, Zelenska made 246 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: it clear over the weekend that he still would like 247 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: to extend the Eastern truce for some thirty days. We 248 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 2: will continue here on this Monday morning run. And as 249 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: a general rule, yeah, you're not supposed to keep things 250 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: from your spouse, But if you're the Secretary of Defense, 251 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: does that include war plans? Is that okay? Do you 252 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: have to tell your spouse about that? 253 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: Well? 254 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 2: The New York Times is reporting that Secretary of Defense 255 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans about a US military strike 256 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: in a second group chat that yes, included his wife. 257 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: And to be clear, this was a different group from 258 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: the one that set off a controversy last month. In 259 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: that case, a journalist was accidentally added to a signal 260 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: group chat with top security officials, and in that chat 261 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: details of an upcoming US military strike and Yemen were revealed. Well, 262 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: the Times is reporting that Hegseth used his personal cell 263 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: phone to discuss those same military plans in a separate 264 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: group chat that included his wife and his brother. 265 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, thirteen people, according to the Times, were on that chat, 266 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: but none of them were cabinet level and none of 267 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: them had any business discussing any war plans. Several people 268 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: who were on it were advisors to Hegseth, His brother 269 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: included who is officially an advisor to him, but it 270 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: is his brother. His wife was on it as well. 271 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: She has no official role. She doesn't do anything at 272 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: the Pentagon. A Pentagon spokesperson contends that no classified information 273 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: was ever shared or therefore, let it go. 274 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: People, all right. Next up on the run, turns out 275 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: the whole escalation between Harvard University and President Trump might 276 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: have been a big old mistake. That is a pretty 277 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: big oopsie. Remember that email Harvard received from the Trump 278 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: administration that had that list of demands about hiring and 279 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: admissions practices, the one that Harvard refused to comply with. 280 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, that same list of demands that set off the 281 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: whole back and forth that ultimately led to Trump taking 282 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: away two point two billion dollars in federal funding. Yes, 283 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: that same list of demands that the Trump administration threatened 284 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: out to remove the university's tax exempt status. Yes, that 285 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: list of demands should never have been sent, according to 286 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: The Times. Yes, it came from the White House Task 287 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: Force on Anti Semitism, and it should not have been 288 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,359 Speaker 2: sent and was actually never even authorized. 289 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: Well, a senior White House official trying to do some 290 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: cleanup says the Administration stood by the content of the letter, though, 291 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: and what it took issue with was Harvard's decision to 292 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: publicly refuse the administration without continuing discussions. Here's what the 293 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: White House said. It was malpractice on the side of 294 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Harvard's lawyers not to pick up the phone and call 295 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: the members of the Anti Semitism Task Force, who they 296 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: had been talking to for weeks. Instead, Harvard went on 297 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: a victimhood campaign. 298 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: The White House says, said the task Force and the 299 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: Trump administration simply wants to ensure that schools like Harvard 300 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: that received taxpayer money follow civil rights laws. President Trump 301 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: claims he wants to cut down on anti Semitism at 302 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: elite schools after several were the site of protests about 303 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: the Israel Gaza war. 304 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: Harvard is not buying though, this notion that it should 305 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: have checked in with the administration after receiving the email 306 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: to make sure that the email was actually the email 307 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: they should have received. They said that the email was 308 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: signed by three federal officials, placed on official letterhead, and 309 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: was sent from the email inbox of a senior federal official, 310 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: so they had no reason not to believe that the 311 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: letter was in fact intended for them. 312 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: All right, folks, save with us here on this Monday 313 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: Morning Ron when we come back. Yes, measles is showing 314 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: up in more states.

In a later post that showed 346 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: her kissing the ground when she got out of that capsule, 347 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: Wendy's mocked her with I kissed the ground and I 348 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: liked it. 349 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: They also posted when we said women in stem this 350 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: isn't what we meant ouch. I didn't realize they didn't 351 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: just double down, they tripled down. 352 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 3: Well. 353 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: After all of those tweets, Wendy's explained its actions this way, 354 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: we always bring a little spice to our socials. But 355 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: when has a ton of respect for Katie Perry and 356 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: her out of this world talent. That does not work 357 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: for me enough. How do you have a ton of 358 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: respect for somebody after you're mocking them continuously online? 359 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: Can anybody just say, Okay, how about this just take 360 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: a joke. It's supposed to just be a little funny. 361 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, how'd you take it? Seemed unnecessary? 362 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: Like why are they going after Katy Kerry? 363 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? 364 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: And they like they singled her out, which was a 365 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: little strange. And then, like I said, it wasn't just 366 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: one kind of off like you know, handed remark er 367 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: fun It was like multiple. 368 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 2: But this good marketing. Then we're talking about Wendy's and 369 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 2: we normally never would have. Is that all they wanted 370 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: to do? 371 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: Possibly? And if so, it works? 372 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: Bring a little spice? Do they have the spicy chicken? 373 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 2: Is this a whole thing? 374 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: Where's the beef? Like I thought they were going to 375 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: play off that maybe a little more too for those 376 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: of us in the eighties who remember that campaign. 377 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: They're playing us all. We continue here on this Monday 378 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: morning run with the box office a new winner, and 379 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: we are actually trying to get out to see this 380 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 2: pretty quickly. Minecraft a Minecraft movie. Look, it's been doing 381 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: Gangbusters biggest movie of the year actually the box office, 382 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 2: but now make room for Sinnus. Yes, vampire movie, a 383 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: horror flicks at nineteen thirty two, starring Michael B. Jordan, 384 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: Written and directed by Creed and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, 385 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: it brought in forty five point six million dollars domestically 386 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: and as won the weekend Fox Afice. 387 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're so excited about this. Sinners only cost ninety 388 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: million to make, so they're on their way to being 389 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: very profitable. Hopefully. They're getting rave reviews from critics and 390 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: moviegoers alike, scoring ninety eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 391 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: getting an A on Cinema Score that's where people who 392 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: actually go to see the movie give it a ranking. 393 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: It also drew in a refreshingly diverse audience thirty I 394 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: don't know how they get these numbers. I don't know 395 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: if you have to give your ethnicity when you're buying 396 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: a movie ticket, but this is what they said. Thirty 397 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: eight percent of moviegoers to this movie. We're black, thirty 398 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: five percent white, eighteen percent Hispanic and five percent Asian. 399 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: But they were touting just how universally appealing it was. 400 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: Somebody just sitting outside in the theater click think he's black. 401 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, seriously, how do they get that? I 402 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: was really confused? 403 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: Oh man, Minecraft Movie. Though it was close second forty 404 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 2: one point three million dollars for its third week, That 405 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: is great. Actually, it's now at nearly seven hundred and 406 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: twenty one million dollars in global ticket sales this weekend. 407 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: Strong opening for centers is most likely great news for 408 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. Given the incredible reviews and 409 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: the power of word of mouth. We will see this 410 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: will probably do some kind of a review on it. 411 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: But Ryan Coogler is one of the few directors out 412 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: there that can bring people to the box office with 413 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: his name. Yep, this work. This is an original piece. 414 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: This is not some Minecraft movie based on a video 415 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 2: game or some other older ip. This is great. 416 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: So this is innovative, really cool horror storytelling. I'm so 417 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: excited to see this, all right. Also excited about today 418 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: because next up on the Run, we want to wish 419 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: a big old good luck to all of you runners 420 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: out there. Today is the one hundred and twenty nine 421 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: Boston Marathon. It's the world's oldest marathon and it always 422 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: falls on Patriots Day, which is always the third Monday 423 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: of April, which is today. 424 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: So we got the first wave of runners. It's going 425 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 2: to start running around ten o'clock Eastern time this morning. 426 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 2: They'll have until five thirty the finish line closes at 427 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 2: that time. Most runners need about six hours to finish 428 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: this thing. It's one of seven major marathons around the world. 429 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: Who just added the Sydney It was a Sydney because 430 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 1: I had six and then I realized, wait, wasn't there 431 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: a seventh one third? So used to saying six majors 432 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: Sydney now me, So, yes, there are seven majors. 433 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: This is one of the seven. Boston is the big one, 434 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: and it's one that if you're trying to do all the majors, 435 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: A lot of people wait to do this one last 436 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: because it is considered probably the hardest one out there 437 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: because of the route and because of elevation. It has 438 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: a heartbreak hill towards the end. The last place you 439 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: want to be on a hill at the end of 440 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 2: a marathon. That kind of breaks people. 441 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm petrified to do this marathon. 442 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 2: I don't. 443 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: It actually gives me like fear in my heart. At 444 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: mile twenty there is a full half mile stretch up hill, 445 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: and it's the last of four difficult hills on the course. 446 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: They're known as the Newton Hills. So when you think 447 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: you're done, you got a full half mile up. The 448 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: race is not just hard to run, it's hard to 449 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: get into. Race officials received a record thirty six three 450 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety three applicants this year. They had to 451 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: turn away more than twelve thousand qualified runners. And when 452 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: I say qualified runners, if you are in the age 453 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: group between eighteen and thirty four, you have to be 454 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: able to prove you can run the marathon in three hours. 455 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: That is unbelievable. And for women three hours and thirty minutes. 456 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: This is in the youngest age group. And to get in, 457 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: even if you qualified with that, you still had to 458 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: beat it by almost seven minutes to get in. That's 459 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: how competitive this is. That's how unbelievably athletic and impressive 460 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: these runners are in the Boston Marathon. 461 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: Thank good luck to them. And this is what we are, 462 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: those weirdos. We will be watching TV today watching people run. 463 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: It's fun, it's wonderful. We're marathoners, so we absolutely get 464 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: into it. Yes, we're looking forward to that today. It's 465 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 2: very busy morning, this morning an unexpected one. We're going 466 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 2: to leave you with a quote of the day, as 467 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: we always do, but this one comes to us that 468 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,479 Speaker 2: we just got last Thursday, and it's coming to us 469 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 2: from Pope Francis, and we can't say enough just how Yes, 470 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 2: he's an eighty eight year old man frail had been 471 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 2: in the hospital, but it was shocking to hear this 472 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: morning that he had passed. It's beautiful, but it was 473 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 2: shocking and it is sad, given we thought he was 474 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: on the way to recovery. But something he said to 475 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 2: us last said to us. We didn't talk to him personally, 476 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 2: but what I'm saying said to us all when he 477 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: was leaving a prison last week that he visited on Thursday, Robes, 478 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 2: where he in the past has washed the feet of 479 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: the prisoners before performing something that Jesus did. He didn't 480 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 2: do it this year because he says he wasn't in 481 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: good enough health to do so. But a reporter asked 482 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 2: him something on the way out and that's where we 483 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: find our quote of the day. 484 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: Yes, the Pope said, I am living as I can. 485 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: And the question he was asked is how are you 486 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: planning to spend your Easter. They were trying to figure 487 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: out if he was going to be making an appearance 488 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 1: or if he was going to be doing any official 489 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: duties as pope, and his quote was so simple, I 490 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: am living as I can. And I went back to 491 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: go look at some Pope Francis quotes and you came up. 492 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: You said, you know what, I think? He said something 493 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: really powerful. It was really short, but it was so 494 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: applicable to so many, so many people who were suffering, 495 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: so many people who don't know what tomorrow brings, so 496 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: many people who may be ill or just not in 497 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: a good place. It's so powerful. I am living as 498 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: I can. I love that. 499 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: So with that, folks, take that with you on this Monday, 500 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 2: a day to reflect a lot of people just wrapping up. 501 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 2: We saw a lot of people out for enjoying time 502 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 2: with family on Easter yesterday. It's always something beautiful about 503 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: even the colors. There's something that's beautiful about It doesn't 504 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 2: matter if you're a Catholic or not. Even religious or not, 505 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 2: even Christian or not, but there's just something about it 506 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: in this guy. SA very good example over the past 507 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: two months of how to live and how to serve. 508 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 2: So no matter what you think about him in policy, 509 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: it is another day for all that stuff with the Church. 510 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 2: It's just he's a man who set a great example. 511 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's about renewal, it's about rebirth and perhaps 512 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: just him now. I love the idea of him returning 513 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: to the Father, as the Vatican put it. So it's 514 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: just a lot to think about and a lot to 515 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: reflect on, and hopefully a lot to inspire all of 516 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: us today.
