You mentioned Los Angeles. Yes, 20 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: Los Angeles will be one of the legs of our 21 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: run this morning. We'll also make stops to the house 22 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: Floor in DC, Salt Lake City, as well as Corpus Christi, Texas, 23 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 3: and Pittsburgh. But the first leg of our run, as 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 3: you could guess, we have to begin in Minneapolis. 25 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: That's right where that woman who was shot and killed 26 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: by an ICE agent yesterday has now been identified. 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: She is a thirty seven year old mother. She is 28 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: an American. 29 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: Citizen, she is a Twin City resident, and her name 30 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: is Renee Nicole Good. Crowds gathered last night around individil 31 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: that popped up at the scene. In fact, we're told 32 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: thousands of people showed up in just a few block radius. 33 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: But it was. 34 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: Peaceful and they were remembering Good. But meanwhile, there are 35 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: two very different narratives that are playing out over that 36 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: video that we've all seen with our own two eyes, 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: and yet so many opinions. 38 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: We've all seen the same thing, but different opinion about 39 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: what we are seeing. Those two different opinions are coming from, 40 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: yes the administration and from democratic let's say Democratic leaders 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: in Minnesota. First off, Christy Nome, Department of Homeland Security. 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: They reiterated their stance yesterday that the woman is and 43 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: I'm quoting them, a domestic terrorists who threatened the agents 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: with a weapon, which was her car. Meanwhile, Minnesota officials, 45 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: in particular the governor and the Mayor of Minnesota. Of Minneapolis, 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: I should say, had some very strong words at least 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: the mayor, did you have heard and seeing that everywhere 48 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 3: the profanity he used, telling Ice to get out, also 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: saying it's bs the video that you're seeing in the 50 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: narrative from the other side. But the governor there, we 51 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: gave him credit. Governor Walt's calls where everybody to please 52 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: stay calm, go protest if you'd like to, but don't 53 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: give the administration a reason to come in here and 54 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: use violent tactics if you will. So they did make 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: it through the evening of our visuals and protests, as 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: you mentioned Rose, but for the most part in Minneapolis 57 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 3: and around the country other cities, it was peaceful. 58 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: And that was certainly a relief, all right. Next up 59 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: on the run was a deadly mass shooting last night. 60 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: It happened outside of a chapel where a funeral was 61 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: taking place. So two people were killed, six others wounded, 62 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: and a manhunt is underway as of this recording. 63 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: And they say they don't know if they're looking for 64 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: one suspect or multiple suspects after this thing. It was 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: at the Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day Saints Chapel. 66 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: This was in a parking lot where some altercation broke 67 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: out and three people are in critical conditions still as 68 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: of this recording. Next up on the Run here as 69 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: we continue on this Thursday morning run, the trial of 70 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 3: the Uvalde police officer accused of failing to act during 71 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: the shooting at the school there. That trial is going 72 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: to continue today after the judge yesterday refused to grant 73 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: a mistrial. 74 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: That's right. 75 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: Adrian Gonzalez is facing twenty nine counts of child endangerment. 76 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: He was the first and one of the first officers 77 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: on the scene, but he chose not to enter the 78 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: school or to engage the shooter. He stayed on his 79 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: radio just talking about what he was seeing and hearing, 80 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: but he did not take action. So testimony started Tuesday. 81 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: It was suspended after the defense accused prosecutors of withholding information. 82 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: A particular witness, a former third grade teacher there at 83 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 1: rob Elementary, changed where she said she saw Adrian Gonzalez 84 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: in relation to the shooter. She claimed he was much 85 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: closer than previously or that her previous statements, but the 86 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: judge said that does not amount to a mistrial. So 87 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: testimony will resume this morning and we. 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: Will continue on the run now. And one day President 89 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: Trump was calling the guy a sick man. The next 90 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: day he was inviting that sick man to the White House. 91 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: The sick man in question, President Gustavo Petro of Colombia. 92 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: Did this shock you to see this? Well, you know what. 93 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: To say Trump has had. I guess, mum, Donnie is 94 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: the last one I think about where he has such 95 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: strong words as if he would never even be in 96 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 3: the same room with the person. And then all of 97 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: a sudden, every buddy, budy. 98 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an interesting thing. And so turns out 99 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: looks like there was I guess a better discourse between 100 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: the two. So yes, Columbia was on Trump's naughty list 101 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: of nations. By the he actually mentioned them as a 102 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: place he might go after next after taking out Madure. 103 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: But this is what Trump posted yesterday and quite a 104 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: different tone. It was a great honor to speak with 105 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: the President of Columbia, Gustavo Petro, who called to explain 106 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had. 107 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: I appreciated his call and tone and look forward to 108 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: meeting him in the near future. Arrangements are being made 109 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Foreign Minister 110 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: of Colombia. That meeting will take place in the White 111 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: House in Washington, d C. 112 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 3: This was a guy, he said, had cocaine mills. This 113 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: was the day before, twenty four hours before. Don't know 114 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 3: what changed in that phone call, but something changed dramatically. 115 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: Let's turn down to Venezuela, the country. He said. One 116 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: hundred people died in that US operation last weekend to 117 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: capture Maduro, most of been part of Maduro's security force. 118 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 3: The governments says they were killed in cold blood. 119 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, US force has seized two more oilers yesterday carrying 120 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: Venezuelan oil, one in the Atlantic it was headed east. 121 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: It was heading east from Venezuela, and another off the 122 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: coast of Iceland. The administration has said the US will 123 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: take thirty to fifty barrels of Venezuelan oil, sell it 124 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: at market price, and then use the proceeds to benefit 125 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: the American people and the Venezuelan people. So what will 126 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Venezuelans do with the proceeds from those oil sales? Spend 127 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: it on American goods. 128 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: They're going to give it right back to us, Give 129 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: it right back to us. We're going to take you oil. 130 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: We're going to sell you oil. They give you the 131 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 3: money from the old that you're going to give right 132 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 3: back to us an American goods. Yes, the President wrote 133 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: on social media yesterday, I have just been informed that 134 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 3: Venezuela is going to be purchasing only American made products 135 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 3: with the money they receive from our new oil deal. 136 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 3: These purchases will include, among other things, American agricultural products 137 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 3: and American made medicines, medical devices, and equipment to improve 138 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: Venezuela's electric grid and energy facilities. In other words, Venezuela 139 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: is committing to doing business with the United States of 140 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: America as their principal partner. A wise choice and a 141 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 3: very good thing for the people Venezuela and the United States. 142 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: That is what the President said. Chris Murphy, the Senator 143 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: from Democrat from Connecticut, I think not America Connecticut right. 144 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: His quote has been all over the place. In the 145 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: press conference, he was just incredulous. He said, we are 146 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: literally taking their oil at gunpoint and then telling you 147 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: we are using that as a negotiating ploy to make 148 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: sure you do business with the United States. He said, 149 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: it's just. 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely it's gangster, is what It sounds like. 151 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: This is some gangster issue that the government is doing. 152 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: We just jacked their oil and giving them money and 153 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: telling them they have to give it back to us 154 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: by buying our products. Some people will say that is 155 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: America first. Someone say this'd be good for American business. 156 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: Others say it sets a dangerous precedent. 157 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: Man oh man. 158 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: And imagine if it were reversed in any way, shape 159 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: or form, in any yes, in even a small. 160 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: Form, imagine how that would go over all? 161 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: Right, Next up on the run, did you see the 162 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: new federal dietary guidelines. They actually flipped the food pyramid 163 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: and a lot of people have been saying this is 164 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: long overdue, long overdue, and the emphasis is now on 165 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: proteins and healthy fats. But they also adjusted the guidelines 166 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: on alcohol consumption. 167 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: Yes, we've been here, everybody can probably quote it now. 168 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: The guidelines forever men two drinks a day, You should 169 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: limit women one drink a day. Everybody knows that. Well, 170 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: they are throwing that out. So how many drinks should 171 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 3: you have? 172 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: Now? 173 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: Just less? 174 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: That's all, just limit. 175 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: Yes, they're just saying use it in moderation. You should limit. 176 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 3: Doctor Oz actually said, if I had my way in 177 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: a perfect world, there's no reason to drink. There is 178 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: no health benefit at all. There is no healthy amount 179 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 3: of consumption, is the argument. So there are no specifics anymore, 180 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: they're just saying limited. He called it a social lubricant. 181 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 3: Did you like? 182 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 2: Yes, I was actually gonna say that. I thought that 183 00:08:58,679 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 2: was an interesting way to put it. 184 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: That is true, a social lubricant, he said, it has 185 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: no other use than to bring people together, And yes, 186 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: that can happen. But I think a lot of people 187 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: could point to alcohol and say it tears a lot 188 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: of people apart too, So you know, I think that's 189 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: a fair statement as well. We've been hearing this for 190 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: a long time that there is no healthy or safe 191 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: amount of alcohol. It is a poison and certainly has 192 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: addictive properties. And we are seeing a massive decline in 193 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: alcohol sales, mostly driven by younger folks who are turning 194 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: to cannabis and other products to unwind and relax. 195 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: Is that not that you would say, hey, stop drinking 196 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: and go do this drug. But there are plenty of folks, 197 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: including your doctors, who would prefer you using marijuana than 198 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: they would alcohol. 199 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: Correct, as a cancer survivor, alcohol is obviously they It's 200 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: not like it might be a connection. 201 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely is. 202 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: There is a connection between alcohol use and breast cancer specifically. 203 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: So yes, I was told that moderate your drinking and 204 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: feel free to have some marijuana. 205 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 3: Well I have to say you should probably moderate your marija. 206 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: Obviously everything should be. 207 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: I am just kidding. I am just kidding. We do 208 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: not have plants growing in the house. But stay with 209 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 3: us here on this Thursday morning, Ron. When we come back, folks, 210 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: we need to clear this up, and Netflix needs to 211 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 3: clear it up too. Do not expect another secret episode 212 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 3: of Stranger Things will explain. Also, Pittsburgh losing its largest 213 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 3: and oldest newspaper and the longest serving Democrat in Congress 214 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: has decided to call it quits. 215 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to your morning, Ron. I actually had to. 216 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: I took a pause there because I couldn't remember what 217 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: day of the week it was. It's Thursday aka Friday Eve. Yeah, 218 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: we're coming out of that holiday stretch where I truly 219 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: didn't know what day it was. So, yes, it is Thursday. 220 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: Everyone twixts it was TwixT us, yes, and now we're 221 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: back in the swing of things, or at least trying 222 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: to get there. Next up on the run, the longest 223 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: serving Democrat in Congress says he's done serving. 224 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: Stenny Hoyer. 225 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: We all know his name, Democrat from Maryland, but I 226 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: didn't realize how old he was. He has been around forever. 227 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: As long as I can remember reporting, Stenny Hoyer has 228 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: been a part of the coverage. 229 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: He's eighty six years. 230 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: Old, and he gave his speech on the House floor 231 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: this morning's announcing it. 232 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's as of this recording, he hasn't hit 233 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 3: it yet. Obviously we're early people, but he yeah, he's 234 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: supposed to be ten o'clock Eastern time. I do believe. 235 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: Okay, So he was first elected in nineteen eighty one. 236 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: To give you some perspective on that, I hadn't even 237 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: started grade school. 238 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 3: It's just wild to think that I'm sitting here now. 239 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: I was a child, not even in grade school when 240 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 3: this dude first got to Congress. 241 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 2: Wow, that is remarkable. I was in grade school but 242 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 2: still a child. 243 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: Yes, and he was the majority leader under Nancy Pelosi, 244 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: which I get I forgot, but yes, of course, I 245 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: mean that's his name. Has just been synonymous with Congress 246 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: when you think about it. So that is the end 247 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: of an era. 248 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: And you know what, it's kind of a strong stinny Hoya. 249 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: That's something about that great name. 250 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 2: It's a great name. 251 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: Continuing on the run here now some unfortunate news coming 252 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: out of Pittsburgh about its largest and oldest newspaper. It 253 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: is shutting down. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is going to 254 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: have its final addition on May third and cease to operate. 255 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: Robes day like look media has been going through it 256 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: for decades now in a decline. But they also had 257 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: a legal battle there with the union that represents journalists. 258 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: So they lost kind of a court case and a 259 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 3: court battle something they were hoping to do to move 260 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 3: down the road. And they say, we can't survive it, 261 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 3: so they are shutting down. I don't know how they've 262 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: survived this long three hundred and fifty million dollars in 263 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 3: losses the past twenty years. 264 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: They say, yeah, And that's another really sad sign of 265 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: the times. But that is just the way things are aheaded. 266 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: People aren't buying newspapers, they aren't reading magazines, they aren't 267 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: watching broadcast news. So yes, everyone has to adjust, but 268 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: it certainly is. 269 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: It's really sad. It's sad, all right. Next up on 270 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: the run and this is the. 271 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: Final leg of our run and hopefully finally putting an 272 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: end to all of these rumors. There is not another 273 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: secret Stranger Things episode yet to be released. People all 274 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: thought it was going to happen yesterday, right January seventh, 275 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. It's not gonna happen, and it's 276 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. 277 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: Because Netflix says that if you want to believe them, 278 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: but they had to update. This all got confusing because 279 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: they did have a promo for something else that went out. 280 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: They put up on social media and it said January seventh, 281 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 3: and I can't remember the language, but it wasn't a 282 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: tease for Stranger Things. It was something else, completely different, 283 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: and folks tried to piece it together and say, maybe 284 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: there's another episode. They even have a name for the 285 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 3: other episode. I didn't know where that came from, actually eight, 286 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: but they thought the episode had a particular name. Even so, 287 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 3: Netflix now is trying to make it clear the show 288 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: was over, folks. 289 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was conformity gait or something was what they 290 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: were trying to say, and it was something about January 291 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: seventh and numerology, and I honestly I read it and 292 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: read it five different times and laughed because I couldn't 293 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: follow what the conspiracy or what the controversy or how 294 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: people read between the lines. 295 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: But one of someone's comment online made me laugh. 296 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: They said, how do I get off this Stranger Thing's 297 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: finale fake out algorithm? Because it's really ruining the experience 298 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: of what I considered to be an all time classic finale. 299 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: And so if you were a huge fan of it, 300 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: and you are, you know, everyone talks about the algorithms 301 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: they're on on their social media. People were complaining that 302 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: they were just getting inundated to the point where it 303 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: was affecting their experience of the finale and putting it 304 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: to rest. 305 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: And so it's in their heads that. 306 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: Maybe yes, and it was messing with their heads, which 307 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: I thought was so funny. 308 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 3: It's over, folks, according to Netflix, but hey, you never know, yes, 309 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 3: all right, before we let you go, something als I 310 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: always want to leave you with. It is our quote 311 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: of the day, Robes. I was a little hesitant, nervous 312 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 3: at first about giving you this one was wondering what 313 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 3: you were going to say. What I came around, you'll 314 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 3: be okay, here's your quote. The wealthiest place on the 315 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: planet is the graveyard because it's filled with hopes, aspirations, 316 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: ideas and dreams never acted upon. It's that thought. I mean, 317 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,239 Speaker 3: I know this is from my pastor, but this idea 318 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: that there is so much that just never you never pursue. 319 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: There are great ideas that were never even tried. They 320 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: were dreams never fulfilled or never even pursued. I love 321 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 3: the idea that you go to a grave thing and 322 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: you if you were able to, you can't ask all 323 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 3: those people what didn't you do? What didn't you try? 324 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: You would have so many ideas and things popping off. 325 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: So the way he put it, the wealthiest place on 326 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 3: the plant is the graveyard because yeah, it's full of rich, 327 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: richness and ideas that nobody ever pursued.
