1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Hey, good morning everybody. It is Friday, December the twenty

2
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: six Welcome to your morning run and I guess rooms

3
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: we know where everybody's running to this morning, to a

4
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: store to return something they didn't like.

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: That's or to take advantage of all the massive discounts

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: and deals that typically are December twenty sixth I have

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: plenty of memories with my mom scooping up Christmas ornaments

8
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: for next year, Christmas wrapping paper next year. We were

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: absolutely those people. Yes, and it was fun because it's

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: like eighty percent off.

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: You find a good deal. Then you got to go

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: store that stuff for a year.

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: But fine, it works, and it is in Atlanta. When

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: we lived in Atlanta, there was plenty of closets.

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 3: It works well.

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: Has good morning to you all. Hope you had a

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: great Christmas. TJ homes here alongside Amy Robot. We had

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: a wonderful, wonderful Christmas here and it does continue today.

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: We did want to hop on though here on December

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: twenty six give you all a few updates about what's

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: going on around the country, having to do with travel,

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: having to do with weather, having to do with the

23
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: President launching strikes in Nigeria, also having to do. We

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: got ratings from the Kennedy Center Honors to tell you

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: about at Upstein update. And also we're going to talk

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: about President Trump was on one yesterday the Spirit of Christmas. Right,

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: you can fill in the blank about what that is.

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't usually have a lot to do with revenge

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: and vendettas robes. We talk about him and his social

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: media a lot. He had a spree of social media

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: posts yesterday that it was odd to think he had

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: that much time on his answer.

33
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's Christmas Day. You would hope that

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: he was with Melania, his children, his grandchildren around the

35
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: tree having fun, but instead he was up all night

36
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: reposting things on his truth social account. What one hundred

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: different posts?

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh, we're not kidding, by several media outlet counts.

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: I'll be honest.

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: I didn't stop and count them all, but at least

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: one hundred posts and reposts in which he is a

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: lot of it the same old stuff, but some of

43
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: it's new. We'll get into some of that, but can

44
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: we start robes. We know now the ticket power ball ticket,

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: we know where it was sold, in particular, we know

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: it was Arkansas. But this little town is a place

47
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: I actually spent a good amount of time and growing

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: up because we have to go play their basketball team.

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Hate it going there. Cap At Arkansas.

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: That's so fa. I was going to ask you if

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: you knew the town. It's near Little Rock.

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, just outside twenty miles or so half hour. But yes,

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: you just have to travel there by bus. But anyway,

54
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: it was sold there just winning power ball ticket, so

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, this little town is all a buzz. But

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: it was at a Murphy, USA. That is what it's called.

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: A gas station. Is where somebody bought this ticket one

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: point eight one seven billion dollars.

59
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, folks, we might never know who it is.

60
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: Wow, they don't have to report in Arkansas.

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: This is one of those states you can remain a Nona.

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: Would you?

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Of course you will.

64
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 3: Of course you would want.

65
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: Every person to know that you had all that cash. Absolutely,

66
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: you don't want to be hounded by the media, and

67
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: probably more importantly, you don't want to be hounded by

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: your friends and family.

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Is there any chance, though, to your point, there, Yes,

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: we hear horror stories about lottery winners over the years,

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: But is there any chance you're so excited that you

72
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: just want to tell everybody like you.

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 3: That's a tough secret to keep.

74
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Sure.

75
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: I bet yes, If you're in a situation where you

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: don't feel like you're going to be hounded and you're

77
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: going to take that victory lap and have a little

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 2: fun with it, I think that's awesome. I just think

79
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: that's probably not most people.

80
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: But also Cabot is a town of about twenty five

81
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: thousand people.

82
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that though.

83
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna know who it is, gonna know, they know now.

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: Exactly who it is. Well, whoever you are, Congratulations to

85
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: you as always, folks. Top right corner of your Apple

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: podcast app on our show page, it says follow click

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: that little bucket button you can always get our updates.

88
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: The other thing to speak on here ropes travel. Today

89
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: is another very busy travel day, and it's another horrific

90
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: day of travel if you're in California. Gonna be some

91
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: tough stuff in the Northeast as well. A snowstorm is moving,

92
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: a significant one, which could be they said this morning

93
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: robes some of the most significant snow we see in

94
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: New York in the past five or so years.

95
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: Wow, And we won't be here to see it, but

96
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: we're actually getting out, thankfully, just before the storm system

97
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: moves our way. So let's let's cross our fingers. We're

98
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: getting out. I mean I should say we're not going

99
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: to be here. We don't plan on being here. You

100
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: just get nervous about travel to lakes.

101
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially after somebody says something like that out loud,

102
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: and Jin says everything but that that's happening in the northeast.

103
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: But California, we need to speak on our friends out there.

104
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: This is now a deadly storm system. At least three

105
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: people have died in the storms that continue out there.

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: Ropes. We talked about.

107
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: This, this atmospheric river dumping water out there. They say

108
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: the worst is over at least as far as the rainfall,

109
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: but it will continue today. And the problem is robes.

110
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: It's so saturated now that any water they yet is

111
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: still adding to the problem that's there. So even though

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: the rain is light lightning up a little bit today

113
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: is not necessarily going to be that helpful.

114
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: Yes, and the high winds were knocking over trees. That's

115
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: how one of the three people died in these storms.

116
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: But yes, they're calling. I guess as soon as I

117
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: read it, I thought Okay, that does sound familiar with

118
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: the Pineapple Express. They actually have a name for the

119
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: Atmospheric River and it is called the Pineapple Express. But yeah,

120
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: they say it doesn't take much now at this point,

121
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: they said, some places have already gotten eight inches of

122
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: rain on Christmas Day, I mean Christmas, even to Christmas Day,

123
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: and they now still have one hundred and ten thousand

124
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: plus people without power. So all of that's tough any

125
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: time of the year, but during the holidays to be evacuated,

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: to have the roads closed. They were talking about folks

127
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: who were sitting there around the TV watching Christmas movies

128
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: and saw their neighbor's roof fly off. I mean, this

129
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: is traumatic, dramatic, scary, life threatening types of weather that

130
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: people have been dealing with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and

131
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: into today.

132
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: So the governor out there has extended some of those

133
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: states of emergency to more places out there. But keep

134
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: an eye on California and keep those folks in your

135
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: thoughts right now, because they are really really going through it.

136
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: As a state. We do need to update you as well.

137
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: Something happened overnight. The President alerted us all about this

138
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: strikes in Nigeria against terrorist targets there. Now, the President

139
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: was the one that gave us the info. We don't

140
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: have a lot, at least of this recording, most of

141
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: the details, but the President didn't let everybody know. This

142
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: is an area of robes he's been talking about for

143
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: a while now, talking about Christians being persecuted there and killed.

144
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: There are plenty of other folks out there and independent agencies.

145
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: I should also say that refute some of the claims

146
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: the President made, but he has used that as justification

147
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: now to move forward.

148
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: Yes, so he says that his powerful and deadly strikes

149
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: directly targeted Islamic State terrorists. And yes, they have pointed out.

150
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: You mentioned other news outlets that Muslim mosques have been

151
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: attacked and targeted. So this is a country of Christians

152
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: and Muslims, and both groups have experienced violence and deadly,

153
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: deadly attacks against them from ISIS. So we even heard

154
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: from Hexseth saying that and this is an important part

155
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: of the story, that they were grateful. The US is

156
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: grateful for the Nigerian government's support and cooperation. The Nigerian

157
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: government assisted and aided in these attacks. So it wasn't

158
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: as if we were attacking anything to do with the

159
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: country's infrastructure in the country itself. It's specifically directed towards

160
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: ISIS targets.

161
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: And he said this is how he announced it to

162
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: the world. This is and as only President drum can

163
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: read it or can write it. Quote tonight, at my

164
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: direction as commander in chief, the United States launched a

165
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: powerful and deli strikes against ISIS time.

166
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: No, why why I start like that?

167
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I know.

168
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: No, he's the head of the most powerful military in

169
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: the world.

170
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: He wants to remind you, at.

171
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: My direction as commander in chief is he wrote it.

172
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not shocking. And then he says that he

173
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: ordered this deadly strike against ISIS terrorist scum in northwest Nigeria,

174
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: also not necessary.

175
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Targeting and viciously killing primarily and this in Christians at

176
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: levels not seen for many years and even centuries. With

177
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: an exclamation point at the end, so you get this.

178
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: This was a part of the U I guess Christmas

179
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: Day dump of tweets and social media posts that the

180
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: president had. But by again these media accounts one hundred

181
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: plus that he put out overnight. Now the subjects he

182
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: hit on. He talked about the twenty twenty election, prosecuting Obama,

183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Gavin knew some somemoli's, a lot of familiar stuff and

184
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: a lot of it robes weren't his own words, as

185
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned a moment ago.

186
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: It was just him without any contexts.

187
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: Actually, some of them were reposted videos without him saying anything.

188
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: They just went up. I don't know what he was doing.

189
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: Yes, And the one that really stood out to me,

190
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: he read reposted a message that called for Attorney General

191
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: Pam Bondi to ensure accountability by prosecuting Barack Obama over

192
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: the election. He was obsessed in these true social posts,

193
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: regurgitating or bringing it back up. I don't know he

194
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: ever has let it go, and I don't even know

195
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: if two days have gone by. Rory doesn't talk about

196
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: the stolen twenty twenty election, but Russia, Russia, Russia, Joe Biden,

197
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: President Obama. All of these themes just kept coming up

198
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 2: again and again as he was reposting a lot.

199
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: And if you had it, yes, there was an I

200
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: was surprised by the Epstein Epstein posts that he made. Yeah,

201
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: because it was unnecessary and it was long, and so

202
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: he put attention back on it again. If you haven't,

203
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: you might have missed it folks, if you weren't paying

204
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: attention to the news, and you should have missed it,

205
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and I think it might have been the point was

206
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: for you to miss it. As on Christmas Eve, the

207
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Department of Justice said that they found a million plus

208
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: more documents that they didn't know about for the Epstein

209
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: case and now for the Epstein files. And now they

210
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: say they need a few more weeks to get all

211
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: this information out. Yes, okay, that's there. But the President

212
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: had something to say about the Epstein file.

213
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: He certainly did. And again it began so well, Merry

214
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: Christmas to all, and then he goes on, including the

215
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: many sleezebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money,

216
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: went to his island, attended his parties, and thought he

217
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: was the greatest guy on earth, only to drop him

218
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: like a dog when things got too hot, falsely claimed

219
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: they had nothing to do with him, didn't know him,

220
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: said he was a disgusting person, and then blame of course,

221
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one

222
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable

223
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: to do so.

224
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean he felt the need to. He watches

225
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: that they say he consumes a lot of media. He

226
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: watches television all the time, watches cable news a lot,

227
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: and it seems like, really he's reacting to something that

228
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: sets him off in a moment. He really that just

229
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: seems impulsive. Almost on Christmas Day to put that out,

230
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: but on.

231
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, I would like a word count of how

232
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: many times he used the word scum, sleezebag, loser. I

233
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: mean it, wow, Merry Christmas. I mean it's they those

234
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: words are dropped in almost all of his independently written posts,

235
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: not just necessarily the repost, but it's it's remarkable.

236
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Well, for whatever reason, the President was on one last night,

237
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: knick yourself out, go true social and enjoy the reads

238
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: continuing here now, Rose, I didn't know, I'll be honest here,

239
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: I did not know that this was a possibility or

240
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: an update like this was coming about the ups crash

241
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: on November fourth. But the death toll from the crash

242
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: on November fourth has now gone up and Robes. The

243
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: message came out from the governor of Kentucky on Christmas Day.

244
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: Put this message out.

245
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: He said, it is with great sadness that I just

246
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: learned Elaine Rodriguez Colina has passed. Elayne is the fifteenth

247
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: victim of the UPS Flight two nine seven six accident.

248
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 2: He suffered severe injuries at the time of the crash

249
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: and passed earlier this Christmas Day. May Elaine's memory be

250
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: a blessing. That is just incredibly sad and tragic. Just

251
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: I didn't know someone was clinging to life or fighting

252
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: for his life all these weeks after that crash.

253
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: It's almost two months now and Maryland did not know,

254
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 3: and it.

255
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: Looks days to die.

256
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: If it was December fourth, December twenty ninth, it was tragic,

257
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: which is something about a Christmas morning death like that

258
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: is just.

259
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: When I'm yeah, there was probably so much hope by

260
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: his family that maybe he would pull through and pull

261
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: out of it. So our hearts go out to them.

262
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: All right, folks will stay with us here on this.

263
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: It's Friday though.

264
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: Right, It's Friday.

265
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: Friday, Yes, count but yes.

266
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: This Friday run a funny story in some circles, but

267
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: it might not be funny at all at the White House.

268
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: The numbers are in.

269
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: How did the viewers respond to President Trump hosting the

270
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: Kennedy Center Honors, Well, we think we got the answers.

271
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: They here, all right, folks, will continue on this Friday morning,

272
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: day after Christmas run You remember, of course, right rose

273
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: the president.

274
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: This was huge.

275
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna host the Kennedy Center Honors, Kennedy Senter Honors.

276
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: He hadn't even attended before as president, kind of a

277
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: boycott of his own all you oh you you conservative

278
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: hating liberal artists over it was kind of his attitude,

279
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: and he didn't attend. But this year, first year's president

280
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: announcement that hey, they wanted me to host. You know,

281
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to host, but they just they beg

282
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: they wanted me so bad because the numbers are going

283
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: to go through the roof.

284
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: You remember all that.

285
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the board that he appointed begged him to host,

286
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: and he said it wasn't just the board, he said

287
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: pretty much all of America wanted him to host. He

288
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: actually said that, and then he went on to say

289
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: that if he did a good job, that he might

290
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: just put that as his full time job. He might

291
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: leave the presidency and just become the full time host

292
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: of the Kennedy Center. He even suggested that if things

293
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: go as well as he thought they would, that could

294
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: be his future.

295
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: We really set this thing up, didn't we We did? Okay,

296
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: point here is that the numbers are in now. TMZ

297
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: had the headline initially about preliminary numbers from Nielsen about

298
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: how it went and how the ratings were. Now, it

299
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: aired what two three nights ago? Was it taped earlier?

300
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: But it aired just a couple of nights ago, the.

301
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: Twenty So it taped on December seventh, and it aired

302
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: on the twenty third.

303
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so how did he do well?

304
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: Preliminary data from Nielsen shows CBS had its quote smallest

305
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: ever audience for the Kennedy Center Honors, with an estimated

306
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: two point six five million viewers. That is a thirty

307
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: five percent decline from the year before. And yes, Donald

308
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: Trump knows ratings very well, that is a significant drop.

309
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: So they had four point one million viewers in twenty

310
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: twenty four and estimated two point sixty five million viewers

311
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: this year.

312
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: That's a pretty big drop.

313
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: It's a huge drop.

314
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: Now we knew.

315
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: We need to note it was it aired two days

316
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: before Christmas. People were doing other things, right.

317
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know when it aired in twenty twenty four.

318
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: If there was a big distinction between the.

319
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Two but they wanted to at least give give a

320
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: nod to that that perhaps that has something to do

321
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: with it. Look, and people are watching TV differently, they

322
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: are not watching as much TV. And yes, ratings generally

323
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: have been declining, but that's from year to year significant.

324
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: That's significant.

325
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: So I could just found out. The twenty twenty four

326
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: Kennedy Center Honors were aired on December twenty second, so

327
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: not a big difference. It was Aday night, though, and

328
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: that might be a bigger audience, bigger viewing audience than

329
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: what would it have been on Monday night. I'm so bad.

330
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: You should see her face right now, everybody. She's really

331
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: trying to feacet this together.

332
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: Thursday. No, it was yes, Thursday, it was a Tuesday night.

333
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I could have helped you out there, but

334
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: I just.

335
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: Then you enjoyed it. It's all right, that's fun.

336
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: That was just an interesting note. Oh can't just wait

337
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: stand by? What is this going to be his response?

338
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: He's he's going to say that Nielsen got it wrong,

339
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: and he's actually going to call for the end of

340
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: Nielsen ratings, and he's going to want a better system

341
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: put in place that's more accurate, because clearly they had

342
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: a bigger audience, and that Nielsen is run by a

343
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: bunch of left wing radicals.

344
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: Wow, it seems like you've done this before.

345
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Uh, finally, here, focus before you go out and try

346
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: to return that stuff. Something we'd like for you to

347
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: take with you. It is our quote of the day, Robes.

348
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: I got this is this is. This is a departure,

349
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: but it is for you a little bit of a

350
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: departure from what I would normally give the quote today.

351
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: Ahead I would saying you pulled that from behind your back,

352
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: like you were hiding it.

353
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: Oh no, I just wasn't behind my back anyway. Here's

354
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 3: your quote of the day, folks.

355
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Quote it is better to be a warrior in a

356
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: garden than a gardener in a war.

357
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, that is.

358
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 3: It's a I think it's a proverb. I think it's

359
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: a Japanese.

360
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: I'm trying to understand.

361
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: It takes you a minute. It is better to be

362
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

363
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: The idea there is to always be prepared for that conflict.

364
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: It's better to always I guess, strengthen yourself to make

365
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: sure you are you got sharp edges to make sure

366
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: you're ready for what might come. Otherwise you might end

367
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: up being a gardener and then when the conflict or

368
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: war comes, you're not prepared for.

369
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: Oh it is I that makes somewhere. I was really

370
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 2: trying to figure out, Like it sounds cools, but what

371
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: it mean.

372
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: This is one I actually have the page here. This

373
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: was up on my dressing room door at the Halls

374
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: of GMA, and this was one where it took people.

375
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: They would stop for a second in bond to this one.

376
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Most of the time they could read it and keep going,

377
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: they would stopping. This is a good discussion.

378
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: I would have been like, knock, knock, knock, because I

379
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: don't remember seeing that one on your door. I would

380
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 2: have definitely had to ask a few follow ups.

381
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: Well, there you go, folks. Take it with you.

382
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,480

383
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: than a gardener.

384
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: In a war.

385
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: You are. Preparation is a big part of how you operate,

386
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: and I appreciate it because it does look you can't

387
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: prevent everything or anything from going wrong, but you can

388
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: prevent a lot of it by being prepared. And you

389
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: are always that and I appreciate you for being that person.

Speaker 3: You know well.

391
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: We always say if things didn't work out, I would

392
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: be great as doing like risk assessment for an insurance

393
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,919
