0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Good

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>morning everyone, It's Monday, April twenty first. Welcome to Morning Run.

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm Amy Roebuck and I'm TJ. Holmes and on the

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>run this morning, breaking and shocking news. This morning, Pope

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Francis has died, just a day after the faithful and

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>the world saw him frail but still triumphant as he

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>gave the traditional Easter blessing and greeted crowds. We do

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>have everything you need to know about this fast moving,

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>breaking story, as information has been coming into us for

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the past several hours. We'll give you the very latest

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>as we know it.

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Also on this busy morning run, that Eastern truce between

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Russia and Ukraine did not last very long, and more

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 1>states reporting measles cases. Plus the Pentagon needs a new

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>cell phone policy.

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Also on the run this morning, Supreme Court justices were

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>up late Friday. Trump probably wishes they'd gone to bed early,

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and turns out that White House, how else list of

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>demands to Harvard wasn't actually ever supposed to be sent

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>to Harvard whoops.

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>And the most famous marathon in the world gets underway

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>this morning. Plus Wendy's is trying to make up with

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Katie'll let you know how that's going. But first we

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 1>do begin this morning run with that sad and breaking news.

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.199
<v Speaker 1>Pope Francis has died at the age of eighty eight.

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>The Vatican said he died at seven thirty five am

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Local time. That's about two thirty five am on the

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>East coast here in the US. So this happened while

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 2>most of us were sleeping and a lot of people

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>waking up to the news this morning. Francis, as they

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>put it, returned to the House of the Father Vatican,

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>saying his entire life was dedicated to the service of

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the Lord and his Church. That dedication was on full

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>display over the past several days.

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It certainly wasn't. Perhaps that's why it felt so shocking

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>when we heard the announcement early this morning, because he

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>had seemed to be improving. You and I looked up

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>at each other and just stared. There were no words.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>We were genuinely shocked. Yesterday and for the past couple

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>of days, the Pope made several unannounced Holy Week appearances

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>despite his weakened condition.

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 2>As the doctors remember told the Pope needed to take

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.359
<v Speaker 2>it easy. And why wouldn't they tell him that he'd

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>been in the hospital for a month. Yes, they told

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>him to avoid large crowds, I think specifically ropes. He

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>talked about even not being around children.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, a lot.

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he was in the hospital for thirty eight days.

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>He was fighting bronchitis initially turned into double pneumonia. His

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>doctors only recently revealed that the Ponta nearly died on

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>two occasions in fact, and one of them they were

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>making a decision. The doctors were to end treatment of

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>the Pope, but it was his personal nurse that came

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 2>in and said, nope, you try everything, you do, not stop.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>And they were able to keep him going and he

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 2>was able to leave the hospital. And yes, even though

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 2>despite the doctors telling him to take it easy, it's

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 2>been fascinating to watch him or it was over the

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>past several days, continuing to do his work to the

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>last minute and fulfill his papal duties.

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was fascinating and it was inspiring. Yesterday, on

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Easter Sunday, the Pope appeared from the balcony of Saint

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Peter's Basilica to give his traditional Easter blessing without help

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>from any breathing apparatus. A lot of people noted. He said,

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>brothers and sisters, Happy Easter, and with an assistant reading

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>his Easter message, which will now perhaps be his final message,

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Francis called for peace and an end to the war

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza, saying, I appeal to the warring parties, call

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a ceasefire, release the hostages, and come to the aid

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>of a starving people that aspires to a future of peace.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 2>The pope later greeted crowds in Saint Peter's Square from

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 2>his popemobile for the first time since his hospitalization. This

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 2>was a very busy and turned out to be final

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 2>day for the Pope. Earlier, in the same day all

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>of this, on Easter, he held a private meeting with

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Vice President J. D. Vance. Officials said the two had

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 2>an exchange of opinions, as they put it, over migrants,

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 2>refugees and prisoners.

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and Vance is a devout Catholic. He released this

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>on X today, tweeting I just learned of the passing

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>of Christians all over the world who loved him. I

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>was happy to see him yesterday though he was obviously

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>very ill. But I'll always remember him for the below

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>homily he gave in the very early days of COVID.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of talk and attention is going to turn,

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 2>obviously to what happens now with the church. Well, there's

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be now nine days of official morning, the

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>conclave where cardinals gather to choose the next pope. That's

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>not going to start for at least another fifteen days.

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>The pope will be taken to Saint Peter's Basilica, where

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 2>he will lie in state for three days. But it

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 2>won't look quite the same as previous popes.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Instead of an elaborate coffin made of Cyprus

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>lead and no, Pope Francis opted for a simple wooden

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>coffin lined with zinc. And he just made some of

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.559
<v Speaker 1>these changes recently. He didn't want mourners to come see

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>his body, as we have seen with other popes raised

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>up on this large platform. Instead, his body will remain

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>in his coffin with the lid removed, and mourners can

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>pass by and pay their respects. Pope Francis will also

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>be the first pope in more than a century to

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>be buried outside the Vatican. He'll be buried in his

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>favorite church, the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome.

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>The last pope to be buried there, by the way,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>was in sixteen sixty nine. But he is going to

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>be remembered throughout the next days. We haven't heard from

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of world leaders yet. People are just waking

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 1>up to this news, but there will be so much

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>more reaction in the company is about what this pope

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>meant to the world.

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>And it's rare. This will be one of those cases

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>where an eighty eight year old man in poor health

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>who'd just spent a month in the hospital, where his

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>death can be shocking, shocking because of what we just

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 2>saw him do for Easter, and shocking because of the

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.159
<v Speaker 2>direction he seemed to be going. But in all he

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>was doing, he was living like a man who knew

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.600
<v Speaker 2>something we didn't know, who knew he was dying, who

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>knew he was going to die. We talk about this

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 2>all the time with people, whether you can your twenties, thirties, forties, fifties,

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 2>can you live like this could be your last day?

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>And it seemed like and there was something just poetic.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Sad as it is, but there is something beautiful about

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 2>what we saw him do over the past two months.

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and what he was able to do on the

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>holiest day of the Catholic calendar year on Easter, that

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>he was able to give that final message of peace,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>That he was able to give that final blessing to

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the crowds that had gathered there to see him on

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Easter Sunday. It is fitting for a pope like Pope friends.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.599
<v Speaker 2>There any better way to put it. He got one

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>more Easter in Yeah, and then past seven hours later.

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, It's almost like he was waiting for that, like

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>he wanted to get to that. And then once he

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>fulfilled that last and final duty, I can go. He

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>could go there you go now.

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Well again, a sad day for a lot of folks,

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>but wow, what the lessons he taught us over the

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>past couple of months. We will continue, though, here on

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 2>this Monday morning run with a different type of Eastern message,

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>this one from President Trump. Yes, he issued an Easter

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 2>message to the world via social media yesterday that included

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>words of hope and well wishes for people around the world,

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and then he unloaded.

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>That's definitely a good way to put it. He unleashed

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a long, strongly worded, and sarcastic happy Easter message directed

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>at Democrats as well as judges and law enforcement officials

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that he deems as obstructions to his agenda. But he

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>saved his best and most biting stuff for former President Biden.

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Now this is how he started it all. This was

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>part one of his Easter message. And he says, quote Malany,

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and I would like to wish everyone a very happy Easter,

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>whether you are heading out to church or watching service

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 2>from home. May this day be full of peace and

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>joy for all who celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>He is risen boom bam done. Nice. Could have left

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>it there, but ahh, there is a part too. Now

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and Robes, I debated about this. We are not going

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to interpret this for you. We are just going to

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>read now in its entirety, the second part of President

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Trump's Easter message to the world. Robes take it away.

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Happy Easter to all, including the radical left, lunatics who

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>are fighting and scheming so hard to bring murderers, drug lords,

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 1>dangerous prisoners, the mentally insane and well known MS thirteen

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.119
<v Speaker 1>gang members and wife beaters back into our country. Happy Easter.

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Also to the weak and ineffective judges and law enforcement

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>officials who are allowing this sinister attack on our nation

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to continue, an attack so violent that it will never

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>be forgotten. Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed millions of criminals

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.439
<v Speaker 1>to enter our country totally unvetted and unchecked through an

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>open borders policy that will go down in history as

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>these single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America. He

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>was by far our worst and most incompetent president, a

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>man who had absolutely no idea what he was doing.

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>But to him, to the person that ran and manipulated

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the auto pen, perhaps our real president, and to all

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>of the people who cheated in the twenty twenty presidential

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>election in order to get this highly destructive moron elected,

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I wish you, with great love, sincerity, and affection, a

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.839
<v Speaker 1>very happy Easter. I love that he added sincerity when

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>clearly it was anything but happy Easter.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 3>And that's it.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not going to look. Everybody else is out there

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:28.959
<v Speaker 2>and they can interpret it. We're just going to read

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 2>it to you in its entirety. That is what the

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 2>President of the United States passed along to the world

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>on Easter, not even Easter. Easter. We will continue here

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>on this morning day morning run with the Supreme Court.

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 2>This weekend of the Supreme Court, they told the Trump

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 2>administration stop doing what you're doing. The Justice has issued

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>an emergency order in the wee hours of Saturday morning

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 2>that blocks the administration from continuing to deport Venezuelans held

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>at a detendent center in Texas.

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>These Venezuelans have been the center of intense and ongoing

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>court battles recent weeks, as the administration has been deporting

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 1>to Venezuelan migrants under the rarely used Federal Alien Enemies Act,

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>which allows for quicker deportation if people deemed a threat

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to this country. The Court votes seven to two. They

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 1>voted to seven to two to halt the deportation after

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>hearing an emergency appeal.

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Court didn't explain its reasoning in the order.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>But this is a big deal because this has been

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 2>an ongoing controversy with President Trump. Yes, this is a

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 2>part of his immigration agenda, in trying to have a

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>safe border, in trying to get people out of the

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 2>country he deems are dangerous. So this is a major

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>ruling that they have shut this down at least temporarily. Now.

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>They didn't explain their reasoning, like I said, in doing so,

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 2>but two justices who dissented, they sure did make their

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>feelings known. These two justices were Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Alito wrote, literally in the middle of the night, the

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.199
<v Speaker 2>lower court a chance to rule, without hearing from the

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 2>opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 2>dubious factual support for its order. So some strong dissent there.

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Don't know where that case is going next. Before now,

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 2>this controversial deal, and they've been talking about one person

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 2>in particular who was accidentally deported that case. That story continues,

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court. Things stop for now. This isn't over just yet.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>But that was an important.

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Update this COO all right, Well, next up on the run.

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>So much for an Eastern truce between Russia and Ukraine.

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Now both sides are blaming the other for breaking what

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>was announced to be an end to fighting for thirty

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 1>hours in honor of the Easter holiday.

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, on Saturday, putin announced the truce to start later

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>that day at six o'clock local time, and and at

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 2>midnight in Moscow. On Sunday, Ukraine agreed, but then Ukraine

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the president Zelensky, he claimed its front line had been

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>attacked more than two thousand times since the beginning of Sunday.

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>What he's talking about, they'd been hit some twenty three

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>hundred times by artillery fired by Russia. So that's where

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 2>two thousand times. It sounds like a lot, but they've

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 2>been counting how many of those.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Long yet, and Russia was counting too, because it claims

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>it defended itself against hundreds of drones and shells coming

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>from Ukraine in the same time period. They gave specific numbers,

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 1>saying Ukraine fired four hundred and forty four times from

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 1>guns and mortars and carried out nine hundred drone strikes.

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Very specific. Zelenski said Russia was only trying to create

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>a pr campaign and an impression of a ceasefire, while

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Russia insists its troops strictly observed the ceasefire.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, even though there was still some fighting, Zelenska made

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>it clear over the weekend that he still would like

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to extend the Eastern truce for some thirty days. We

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 2>will continue here on this Monday morning run. And as

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>a general rule, yeah, you're not supposed to keep things

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>from your spouse, But if you're the Secretary of Defense,

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>does that include war plans? Is that okay? Do you

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>have to tell your spouse about that?

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times is reporting that Secretary of Defense

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans about a US military strike

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 2>in a second group chat that yes, included his wife.

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>And to be clear, this was a different group from

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the one that set off a controversy last month. In

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:10.079
<v Speaker 1>that case, a journalist was accidentally added to a signal

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>group chat with top security officials, and in that chat

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>details of an upcoming US military strike and Yemen were revealed. Well,

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the Times is reporting that Hegseth used his personal cell

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>phone to discuss those same military plans in a separate

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>group chat that included his wife and his brother.

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thirteen people, according to the Times, were on that chat,

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 2>but none of them were cabinet level and none of

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 2>them had any business discussing any war plans. Several people

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>who were on it were advisors to Hegseth, His brother

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>included who is officially an advisor to him, but it

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is his brother. His wife was on it as well.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>She has no official role. She doesn't do anything at

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 2>the Pentagon. A Pentagon spokesperson contends that no classified information

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 2>was ever shared or therefore, let it go.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 1>People, all right. Next up on the run, turns out

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>the whole escalation between Harvard University and President Trump might

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>have been a big old mistake. That is a pretty

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.439
<v Speaker 1>big oopsie. Remember that email Harvard received from the Trump

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 1>administration that had that list of demands about hiring and

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.839
<v Speaker 1>admissions practices, the one that Harvard refused to comply with.

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that same list of demands that set off the

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>whole back and forth that ultimately led to Trump taking

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 2>away two point two billion dollars in federal funding. Yes,

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that same list of demands that the Trump administration threatened

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 2>out to remove the university's tax exempt status. Yes, that

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 2>list of demands should never have been sent, according to

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 2>The Times. Yes, it came from the White House Task

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Force on Anti Semitism, and it should not have been

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.359
<v Speaker 2>sent and was actually never even authorized.

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, a senior White House official trying to do some

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>cleanup says the Administration stood by the content of the letter, though,

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and what it took issue with was Harvard's decision to

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>publicly refuse the administration without continuing discussions. Here's what the

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>White House said. It was malpractice on the side of

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Harvard's lawyers not to pick up the phone and call

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>the members of the Anti Semitism Task Force, who they

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 1>had been talking to for weeks. Instead, Harvard went on

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a victimhood campaign.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 2>The White House says, said the task Force and the

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration simply wants to ensure that schools like Harvard

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 2>that received taxpayer money follow civil rights laws. President Trump

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>claims he wants to cut down on anti Semitism at

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 2>elite schools after several were the site of protests about

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 2>the Israel Gaza war.

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Harvard is not buying though, this notion that it should

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>have checked in with the administration after receiving the email

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that the email was actually the email

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>they should have received. They said that the email was

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>signed by three federal officials, placed on official letterhead, and

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>was sent from the email inbox of a senior federal official,

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>so they had no reason not to believe that the

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>letter was in fact intended for them.

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, folks, save with us here on this Monday

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Morning Ron when we come back. Yes, measles is showing

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 2>up in more states. Also, Wendy's is trying to do

0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a do over with Katie Perry, but their stopping short

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>of an apology and Minecraft as characters in a video game.

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Are no match for vampires at the box office.

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>We continue now. Next leg of our Monday Morning run

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>takes us to measles, which is now spreading, with three

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>more states now reporting their first cases over the weekend,

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.920
<v Speaker 2>bringing the total now to more than eight hundred cases

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>across twenty seven states.

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Louisiana, Virginia, and Missouri are all now reporting their first

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>measles cases, and all three cases are linked to international travel.

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>In Missouri and Virginia, both patients are children, their vaccination

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.440
<v Speaker 1>status unknown right now, but in Louisiana, the only information

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>we have on that patient is they are unvaccinated and

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>live in the New Orleans area.

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.320
<v Speaker 2>The authorities are now working on alerting people who may

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>have been exposed to these newly documented patients right now.

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>This year's cases have nearly tripled the numbers total numb

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>number of measles cases in all of twenty twenty five.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>For this year continues, at the current rate, we could

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 2>reach our highest number in more than three decades. Six

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 2>states have declared measles outbreaks Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, Kansas, Indiana,

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 2>and Michigan, Texas. Of course, with the overwhelming bulk of

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the cases, that's where the outbreak and all of this

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 2>pretty much began, all right.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Next up on our run, Wendy's is trying to smooth

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 1>things over after starting a beef with popstar Katie Perry,

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 1>but was not willing to go so far as to

0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.119
<v Speaker 1>give an actual apology.

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, after Perry returned from her star studded flight to

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 2>space aboard Blue Origin, wendy said on social media, can

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.120
<v Speaker 2>we send her back? In a later post that showed

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 2>her kissing the ground when she got out of that capsule,

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Wendy's mocked her with I kissed the ground and I

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 2>liked it.

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 1>They also posted when we said women in stem this

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 1>isn't what we meant ouch. I didn't realize they didn't

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>just double down, they tripled down.

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 1>After all of those tweets, Wendy's explained its actions this way,

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>we always bring a little spice to our socials. But

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.199
<v Speaker 1>when has a ton of respect for Katie Perry and

0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>her out of this world talent. That does not work

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>for me enough. How do you have a ton of

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 1>respect for somebody after you're mocking them continuously online?

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Can anybody just say, Okay, how about this just take

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 2>a joke. It's supposed to just be a little funny.

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Yeah, how'd you take it? Seemed unnecessary?

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Like why are they going after Katy Kerry?

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>And they like they singled her out, which was a

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.199
<v Speaker 1>little strange. And then, like I said, it wasn't just

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>one kind of off like you know, handed remark er

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:31.879
<v Speaker 1>fun It was like multiple.

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 2>But this good marketing. Then we're talking about Wendy's and

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.439
<v Speaker 2>we normally never would have. Is that all they wanted

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 2>to do?

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Possibly? And if so, it works?

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Bring a little spice? Do they have the spicy chicken?

0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Is this a whole thing?

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>Where's the beef? Like I thought they were going to

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.360
<v Speaker 1>play off that maybe a little more too for those

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 1>of us in the eighties who remember that campaign.

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>They're playing us all. We continue here on this Monday

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 2>morning run with the box office a new winner, and

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>we are actually trying to get out to see this

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty quickly. Minecraft a Minecraft movie. Look, it's been doing

0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Gangbusters biggest movie of the year actually the box office,

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 2>but now make room for Sinnus. Yes, vampire movie, a

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 2>horror flicks at nineteen thirty two, starring Michael B. Jordan,

0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Written and directed by Creed and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler,

0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:20.160
<v Speaker 2>it brought in forty five point six million dollars domestically

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 2>and as won the weekend Fox Afice.

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're so excited about this. Sinners only cost ninety

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>million to make, so they're on their way to being

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>very profitable. Hopefully. They're getting rave reviews from critics and

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 1>moviegoers alike, scoring ninety eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes and

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.439
<v Speaker 1>getting an A on Cinema Score that's where people who

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.240
<v Speaker 1>actually go to see the movie give it a ranking.

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.920
<v Speaker 1>It also drew in a refreshingly diverse audience thirty I

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.159
<v Speaker 1>don't know how they get these numbers. I don't know

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>if you have to give your ethnicity when you're buying

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.320
<v Speaker 1>a movie ticket, but this is what they said. Thirty

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 1>eight percent of moviegoers to this movie. We're black, thirty

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>five percent white, eighteen percent Hispanic and five percent Asian.

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>But they were touting just how universally appealing it was.

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Somebody just sitting outside in the theater click think he's black.

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, seriously, how do they get that? I

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 1>was really confused?

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, Minecraft Movie. Though it was close second forty

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.679
<v Speaker 2>one point three million dollars for its third week, That

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>is great. Actually, it's now at nearly seven hundred and

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty one million dollars in global ticket sales this weekend.

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Strong opening for centers is most likely great news for

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of weeks. Given the incredible reviews and

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>the power of word of mouth. We will see this

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 2>will probably do some kind of a review on it.

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 2>But Ryan Coogler is one of the few directors out

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 2>there that can bring people to the box office with

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 2>his name. Yep, this work. This is an original piece.

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>This is not some Minecraft movie based on a video

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.399
<v Speaker 2>game or some other older ip. This is great.

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 1>So this is innovative, really cool horror storytelling. I'm so

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 1>excited to see this, all right. Also excited about today

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>because next up on the Run, we want to wish

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a big old good luck to all of you runners

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. Today is the one hundred and twenty nine

0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Boston Marathon. It's the world's oldest marathon and it always

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>falls on Patriots Day, which is always the third Monday

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 1>of April, which is today.

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 2>So we got the first wave of runners. It's going

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to start running around ten o'clock Eastern time this morning.

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 2>They'll have until five thirty the finish line closes at

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.959
<v Speaker 2>that time. Most runners need about six hours to finish

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>this thing. It's one of seven major marathons around the world.

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Who just added the Sydney It was a Sydney because

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.479
<v Speaker 1>I had six and then I realized, wait, wasn't there

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 1>a seventh one third? So used to saying six majors

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Sydney now me, So, yes, there are seven majors.

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 2>This is one of the seven. Boston is the big one,

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's one that if you're trying to do all the majors,

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people wait to do this one last

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:43.280
<v Speaker 2>because it is considered probably the hardest one out there

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 2>because of the route and because of elevation. It has

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 2>a heartbreak hill towards the end. The last place you

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 2>want to be on a hill at the end of

0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a marathon. That kind of breaks people.

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm petrified to do this marathon.

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.439
<v Speaker 1>It actually gives me like fear in my heart. At

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 1>mile twenty there is a full half mile stretch up hill,

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's the last of four difficult hills on the course.

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>They're known as the Newton Hills. So when you think

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>you're done, you got a full half mile up. The

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.199
<v Speaker 1>race is not just hard to run, it's hard to

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 1>get into. Race officials received a record thirty six three

0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:20.359
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ninety three applicants this year. They had to

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 1>turn away more than twelve thousand qualified runners. And when

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I say qualified runners, if you are in the age

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 1>group between eighteen and thirty four, you have to be

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 1>able to prove you can run the marathon in three hours.

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 1>That is unbelievable. And for women three hours and thirty minutes.

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.880
<v Speaker 1>This is in the youngest age group. And to get in,

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>even if you qualified with that, you still had to

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>beat it by almost seven minutes to get in. That's

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:47.639
<v Speaker 1>how competitive this is. That's how unbelievably athletic and impressive

0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 1>these runners are in the Boston Marathon.

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank good luck to them. And this is what we are,

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>those weirdos. We will be watching TV today watching people run.

0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 2>It's fun, it's wonderful. We're marathoners, so we absolutely get

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.040
<v Speaker 2>into it. Yes, we're looking forward to that today. It's

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:06.239
<v Speaker 2>very busy morning, this morning an unexpected one. We're going

0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:07.479
<v Speaker 2>to leave you with a quote of the day, as

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 2>we always do, but this one comes to us that

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.479
<v Speaker 2>we just got last Thursday, and it's coming to us

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 2>from Pope Francis, and we can't say enough just how Yes,

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.199
<v Speaker 2>he's an eighty eight year old man frail had been

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.719
<v Speaker 2>in the hospital, but it was shocking to hear this

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 2>morning that he had passed. It's beautiful, but it was

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 2>shocking and it is sad, given we thought he was

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 2>on the way to recovery. But something he said to

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 2>us last said to us. We didn't talk to him personally,

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 2>but what I'm saying said to us all when he

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 2>was leaving a prison last week that he visited on Thursday, Robes,

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.120
<v Speaker 2>where he in the past has washed the feet of

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the prisoners before performing something that Jesus did. He didn't

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 2>do it this year because he says he wasn't in

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 2>good enough health to do so. But a reporter asked

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 2>him something on the way out and that's where we

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 2>find our quote of the day.

0:23:56.400 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the Pope said, I am living as I can.

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.399
<v Speaker 1>And the question he was asked is how are you

0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:06.400
<v Speaker 1>planning to spend your Easter. They were trying to figure

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:07.920
<v Speaker 1>out if he was going to be making an appearance

0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:09.959
<v Speaker 1>or if he was going to be doing any official

0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 1>duties as pope, and his quote was so simple, I

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 1>am living as I can. And I went back to

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.400
<v Speaker 1>go look at some Pope Francis quotes and you came up.

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>You said, you know what, I think? He said something

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>really powerful. It was really short, but it was so

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:26.960
<v Speaker 1>applicable to so many, so many people who were suffering,

0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:28.879
<v Speaker 1>so many people who don't know what tomorrow brings, so

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>many people who may be ill or just not in

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.879
<v Speaker 1>a good place. It's so powerful. I am living as

0:24:36.040 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I can. I love that.

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 2>So with that, folks, take that with you on this Monday,

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 2>a day to reflect a lot of people just wrapping up.

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:47.880
<v Speaker 2>We saw a lot of people out for enjoying time

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 2>with family on Easter yesterday. It's always something beautiful about

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 2>even the colors. There's something that's beautiful about It doesn't

0:24:53.800 --> 0:24:56.199
<v Speaker 2>matter if you're a Catholic or not. Even religious or not,

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:59.200
<v Speaker 2>even Christian or not, but there's just something about it

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 2>in this guy. SA very good example over the past

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 2>two months of how to live and how to serve.

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 2>So no matter what you think about him in policy,

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 2>it is another day for all that stuff with the Church.

0:25:08.600 --> 0:25:11.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just he's a man who set a great example.

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's about renewal, it's about rebirth and perhaps

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 1>just him now. I love the idea of him returning

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to the Father, as the Vatican put it. So it's

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:24.639
<v Speaker 1>just a lot to think about and a lot to

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>reflect on, and hopefully a lot to inspire all of

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>us today. And with that, thank you for running with

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:32.359
<v Speaker 1>us on this Easter Monday. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Holmes. We'll see you on the run tomorrow
