5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ. Holmes on the run this morning. Trump

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: wants a trillion dollars on this trip and he's already

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: halfway there. A major investment announcement on day one of

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: his Middle East tour.

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: Why did I want to see John bon Jovi there?

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Ooh oh yeah, I didn't get it, living on a

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: prayer halfway there?

12
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: Sorry, all right, let me move on.

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Then, the US and Syria are buds again, President Trump

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: announcing he is lifting all sanctions against the once designated

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 2: state sponsor of terrorism, and a top Democrat is using

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: his limited power to send a major message to Trump

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: about that four hundred million dollar gift from Qatar.

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: Also on the Run this morning, Harvard, I need to

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: start checking their couch cushions for loose change after the

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: White House announced another huge cut in the school's federal funding.

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: So it's day three of the Diddy trial. Day two

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: included graphic and gripping details of those so called free calls,

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: details that we can't onhere.

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: And the Menendez brothers are one step closer to freedom

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: after an LA judge re sentences them for the nineteen

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: eighty nine murder of their parents. Also on the run,

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: Pete Rose is finally eligible for the Hall of Fame.

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: And all he had to do was die.

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: And remember those hair on fire warnings that tariffs would

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: cause prices to skyrocket, Well, prices actually went down last month.

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: But the devil is in the details. Also good news,

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: and prices are dropping. There's a devil in those details too.

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: We'll get into all that, all right, But we begin

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: our run on this Wednesday in Rio odd Saudi Arabia,

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: where President Trump's trillion dollar mission is apparently off to

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: a pretty good start. The President is on a four day,

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: three nation tour of the region, where his stated goal

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: is to secure a trillion dollars worth of investments, and.

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: He is getting there. On the first day of his trip,

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Trump said, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia agreed to invest

41
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollars with the US. Now this includes

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of deals. There were memorandums of understanding, letters

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: of intent, all kinds of stuff being signed. But that

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: six hundred building billion includes deals and defense, technology, and

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: other economic areas. President Trump also intended an economic forum

46
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: this morning, where he talked about wanting to do a

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: deal with Iran and also praise the region again. This

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: trip robes three of the richest nations in the world.

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: He was going to visit. But he goes from Saudi

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Arabia heading over to Katar later today.

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: Maybe they can talk about their plane all right. Also,

52
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: in a major shift in US policy, President Trump announced

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: the US would lift sanctions on Syria. He calls this

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: a first step towards restoring a normal relationship between the

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: United States and Syria for the first time in a decade.

56
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: Syria has been designated a state sponsor of terrorism by

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: the United States since nineteen seventy nine, and the US

58
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: put economic sanctions in place to punish the Assad regime

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: during its brutal crackdown on anti government protesters, most recently

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven.

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: The Assade regime fell at the end of last year,

62
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: and now President Trump says he wants to give them

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: a chance at greatness. He even met with the interim

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: leader of Syria at a private side meeting. So that's

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: a very big development, in a big.

66
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: Development for the region. This is something some of the

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: regional partners have been pushing for to normalize Syria again

68
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: before the United States. It's huge, This is absolutely huge, Folks,

69
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: pay attention to that one. We continue on our run

70
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: this morning. Next leg takes us to Washington, DC, where

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is drawing the line in

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: the sand with President Trump. What is it this time? Well,

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Schumer announced yesterday that he is putting a blanket hold

74
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: on all Trump administration Justice Department nominations until Schumer's as

75
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: he gets answers about that luxury jet from Cutter that

76
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: is set to become the new Air Force One.

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: During a Senate floor's, Schumer said this in lighted the

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: deeply troubling news of a possible Katari funded Air Force

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: One and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed

80
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: off on this clearly unethical deal. I am announcing a

81
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 2: hold on all DOJ political nominees until we get more answers.

82
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: And he went on to say that accepting this gift

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 2: is something so corrupt that even Russian President Vladimir Putin

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: would give a double take.

85
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: Okay, they're all starting to sound like Trump now because

86
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: Republicans have the majority. However, Schumer can't actually block Trump's nominees.

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: All you can do is just be a pain in

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: the ass. He can actually call for a hold for

89
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: each nominee, Sure he can do that, but he's only

90
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: going to be taking up valuable floor time. He's just

91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: extending the process, yes, making it more.

92
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: Difficult, because all they need is a simple majority to

93
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: override the hold. So they just have to continually call

94
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: for a vote before they get into each nominee.

95
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: So he can just be annoying. White House spokeswords and

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Carolyn Levitt said legal details on accepting the jet are

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: still being worked out. That makes you nervous. We're working

98
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,119
Speaker 1: out the legalities, but we'll get back to you. She said.

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Any donation to this government has always done in full

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: compliance with the law.

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: All right, Next up on our run.

102
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: They already lost two billion dollars in funding, So what's

103
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: another four hundred and fifty million. Well, the Trump administration, yes,

104
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: is taking more money from Harvard in its still escalating

105
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: standoff with the Ivy League.

106
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: School at the White House announced that several federal agencies

107
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: will terminate approximately four hundred and fifty million dollars in

108
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: grants to Harvard, which is in addition to the two

109
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: point two billion that was already terminated. As they put it,

110
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: Harvard is quote prioritizing appeasement over accountability, and that school

111
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: leaders have forfeited the school's claim to taxpayer support.

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: Now, several schools have had the Trump administration withdraw federal

113
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: funding over ideological differences. In particular, the president says several

114
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: universities did not do enough to cut down on anti

115
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: semitism during campus protests over the war in Gaza. But

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: Harvard certainly has borne the brunt of the public scrutiny

117
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: and punishment.

118
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the school vows though, to fight on. They've sued

119
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: the White House with a loss of funding, and the

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: school's president said they will not surrender their independence to

121
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: the White House.

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: All right.

123
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: Next up on the Run, we're going to head to

124
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: that Manhattan courtroom where Cassie Ventura is expected back on

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: the witness stand today after day of at times emotional

126
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: and at times explicit testimony in the Diddy trial.

127
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Now, Ventura, as you know, is the ex girlfriend of

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Sean Ditty Combs. Now, that hard to watch hotel surveillance

129
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: video of her being assaulted by Combs was shown in

130
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: court yesterday and she testified in graphic detail about those

131
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: so called freak offs, these sex parties that she said

132
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: she was forced to participate.

133
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: In Ventura said the parties were fantasy for Combs, who

134
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: she said directed every aspect of them, including how much

135
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: baby oil would be used and who she would have

136
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: sex with while Combs watched. She also described living in

137
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: constant fear that Combs would turn violent at the slightest

138
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: perceived mistake she made.

139
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: And we should note here there were a lot of

140
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: graphic details when this story. When he was first arrested,

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: so much was made in the press about these freak costs,

142
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: these parties and the baby oil. We got more details

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: probably yesterday about those parties than we have gotten anywhere else.

144
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: It's salacious, sure, and how it was reported, but she

145
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: described some pretty horrific and even hostage situations. You could

146
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: almost suggest in that he held people for days. She described

147
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: one when for four days that she can remember.

148
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: It's hard to get your head around and what was

149
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: going on.

150
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: And she is expected back on the stand today this

151
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: morning and is going to face cross examination from the

152
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: defense team. Combes of course, is facing federal charges of

153
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: sex trafficking and racketeering and has pleaded not guilty to

154
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: all charges against it.

155
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: All. Right, next up on the run, we're going to

156
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: head to la where Lyle and Eric Menendez are now

157
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: eligible for parole after a judge decided to re sentence

158
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: them for the nineteen eighty nine.

159
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: Murder of their parents.

160
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the California State Parole Board will still have to

161
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: make the final ruling on whether to release them from prison.

162
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: That could take a few weeks, could take a few months,

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: but they are now eligible at least to be considered

164
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: by the state parole board. That is the change. That

165
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: is a big deal and roads right now. The expectation

166
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: is that they will be free soon.

167
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: That's right.

168
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: And this all happened yesterday during that re sentencing hearing,

169
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: where the judge heard from Menendez family members and a

170
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: former inmate, who all testified about the big changes they

171
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: have seen in the brothers over the years, one of

172
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: their aunts telling the judge thirty five years is enough.

173
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: They are universally forgiven by the family.

174
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Well. The brothers, Lyle Eric also gave statements in a

175
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: video link after the judge made his decision. Lyle to

176
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: the court makes no excuses for the murders. He said this,

177
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: I committed an atrocious act against two people who had

178
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the right to live my mom and dad Today thirty

179
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: five years later, I am deeply ashamed of who I was.

180
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: And Eric apologized publicly, saying this, I fired all five

181
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: rounds at my parents and went back to reload.

182
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: That gives you chills, right, he.

183
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: Says, I lied to police, I lied to my family.

184
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: I'm truly sorry. I mean, seriously have chills from head

185
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: to toe. The brother's emotional statements seemed to disprove what

186
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: the recently elected La DA had been claiming as his

187
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: argument against the re sentencing that Lyle and Eric had

188
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: not fully taken responsibility for their crime. Certainly they did

189
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: that yesterday.

190
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: They had done so prior to Am I mistaken? Have

191
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: they not? For years they had talked about and taking responsibility.

192
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: There's been no question of them being responded.

193
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 2: There was some discrepancy with the DA saying that he

194
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: didn't feel like they admitted to lying, to trying to

195
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: get people to lie for them. He wanted them to

196
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: fully it all of the wrongs they had committed within

197
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: like in the days leading up to the murder and

198
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: in the days following the murder.

199
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: And they did say, though they've always maintained they killed

200
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: their parents after years of sexual, physical and emotional abuse,

201
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: the resentencing hearing was just one path to freedom for

202
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: the brothers. Next month, on a June.

203
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: Thirtieth, June thirteenth, right thirteenth.

204
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Excuse me there, the State Parole Board is going to

205
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: conduct a separate hearing and send results to Governor Newsom

206
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: to decide whether to grant the to clemency. You were

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: explaining this to me. It seems like the State Parole

208
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: Board is involved in both that they are different processes, correct.

209
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: So with the judge resentencing the brothers, now the parole

210
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: Board will get the final say and can actually say

211
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: you are released when they consider that. But this separate

212
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: thing was something that Governor Gavin Newsom did where he

213
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: was trying to potentially grant clemency to the brothers, and

214
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: so he asked them to conduct a basically a like

215
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: a an investigation into whether or not the brothers would

216
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: be likely to commit crimes when they got out.

217
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: So it's two separate things.

218
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: It's confusing, but it does look like they are getting

219
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: out of prison soon.

220
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: That's remarkable. We'll stay with us here on this Wednesday

221
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: Morning run when we come back. One of the most

222
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: heated debates in all of sports is actually about to

223
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: get even hotter because Pete Rose is now eligible for

224
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Also, those tariffs didn't cause prices

225
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: to go up. They actually went down last month. But

226
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: the devil is in the details. Oh yeah, those eggs

227
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: they went down last month too. There's some really deviled

228
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: eggs in that and those details. Stay with us.

229
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 3: Welcome back to our Wednesday morning run.

230
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: And next up on the run, Pete Rose is no

231
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: longer banned from baseball, which now clears the way for

232
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: baseball's all time hits leader to finally get into the

233
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.

234
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: The Commissioner Rob Manfred announced a major change in Major

235
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: League Baseball's longtime policy and now players who have been

236
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: permanently banned from the game will have their ineligibility lifted

237
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: once the individual die. So you get that, if you

238
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: were banned from baseball, that ban gets lifted upon your death.

239
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: And Rose died in September at the age of eighty

240
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: three and had been banned from baseball since nineteen eighty nine,

241
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: when an investigation found that he'd bet on baseball while

242
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: he was a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

243
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: It's been one of the most consequential and ongoing stories

244
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: in baseball's history, and it's been the center of heated

245
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: sports debates for decades because it seemed crazy that one

246
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: of the game's greatest players, who holds one of the

247
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: game's most important records, is not in the Hall of Fame.

248
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: The Rose can now be considered for the Hall of Fame.

249
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: He may not be a shoe.

250
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: In because get this, there are a lot of sports

251
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: fans out there, sports fanatics and enthusiasts, and also people

252
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: who just followed the game for a long time. We

253
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: have these historians of the game who end up voting

254
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame. They have come out, a

255
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of them critical of the move by MLB and

256
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: still believe that Rose cheated the game, he broke the rules,

257
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: and should not be allowed to enter the Hall of Fame,

258
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: dead or alive. Estimated seventeen players are impacted by this

259
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: MLB change, including shoeless Joe Jackson. He was implicated in

260
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineteen Black Sox scandal fixing the World Series,

261
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: of course, and he is I think has the one

262
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: of the greatest batting averages in the history of the game.

263
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: So he is now eligible. But people are roes. What

264
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: do you do? I thought everybody's doing great, he should

265
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: go in. A lot of people immediately came out and said, nope,

266
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: this is awful for the integrity of baseball. They don't

267
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: like the move at all.

268
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I really don't have a horse in

269
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: the race.

270
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: So they say, you didn't know he was in, didn't

271
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: care he wasn't it. Who cares?

272
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: You're telling me, Oh, this is a huge story.

273
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: Yesterday I was like, Okay, I believe you.

274
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: It's huge. It actually is all right.

275
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: Next up on our run, despite Trump's trade war, we

276
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: are not paying more for products, at least not yet anyway,

277
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: The all important inflation report just out gave us some

278
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: better than expected news.

279
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: Prices did not shoot up last.

280
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: Month, and our inflation rate, get this is actually at

281
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: the lowest point in four years.

282
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hear about this. The CPI Consumer Price Index

283
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: as essentially just a measure of the cost of goods. Well,

284
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: that measure was at two point three percent last month.

285
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: Bottom line, this means that the cost of goods actually

286
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: slowed from the previous month. So yes, the idea with

287
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: all this going on that prices actually went down slightly. Okay,

288
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: that's great, but it doesn't mean we're out of the

289
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: woods with price increases in the near future.

290
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: Economist suggests that maybe the impact of the tariffs hasn't

291
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: hit us yet, or perhaps businesses built up their inventory

292
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: early and absorbed any initial tariff hits and have not

293
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: passed those costs along to customers yet. Also, a lot

294
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: of the tariffs were immediately paused after they were put

295
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: in place, so they were never fully implemented. Yet we

296
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: saw a lot of on again, off again and now

297
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: amended versions of the tariff.

298
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: So fingers crossed.

299
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: I was going to say, hold your breath, fingers crossed.

300
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: With things all right, the final leg of our run here.

301
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: They got some good news bad news. When people ask

302
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: you that you I got good news bad news, which

303
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: one do you want?

304
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: Find I always want the bad news first, you really, Yeah,

305
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: I want to take because I don't want to anticipate

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: it and worry about it as I'm hearing the good news.

307
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 3: It takes away from the fun of the good news.

308
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, I'm gonna switch up the story and give

309
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: the bad news first. All right, here is the bad news.

310
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: The bad news is about egg prices. And if you

311
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: look at the price of eggs year to year, the

312
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: price of eggs is up seventy nine percent from where

313
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: it was last April. That is the bad news. That

314
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: you are paying seventy nine percent more right now for

315
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: eggs than you were a year ago. So now let's

316
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: go back to the top. Now you want the good news, Yeah.

317
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: The good news, Give me the good news.

318
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: The good news is that the egg prices actually dropped

319
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: from the previous month, and I mean they plumbing it robes.

320
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Twelve point seven percent drop in April.

321
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: See doesn't it feel good to end on a good note.

322
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: This is the first time we have seen a monthly

323
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: drop since last October. The average cost for a dozen

324
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: eggs sits hit five dollars and twelve cents.

325
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: So that's good.

326
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: And I have to tell you, I just bought a

327
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: dozen eggs and I paid less than four dollars. So

328
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know why it would be cheaper here

329
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: in New York, because nothing is cheaper here in New

330
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: York except for flowers and massages. Oh yeah, those are

331
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: the two things that you can get a little bit

332
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: cheaper here in New York because they're readily available on

333
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: every street corner.

334
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: I trying to think of another thing that's cheaper here

335
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: in New York. But you know that was a better

336
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: way to go. I did. I gave you the bad

337
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: news first, But that's essentially what we're saying. Yes, they're

338
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: way up from last year, but they are way down

339
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: from last month. That could be a trend that could

340
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: tell us that things are going a different or better direction.

341
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: For that's Fresh Direct.

342
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 3: Yes, Fresh Direct less than four dollars. I think it

343
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: was like three dollars and eighty something cents.

344
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: They are not a sponsor of the show. We should

345
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,280

Speaker 2: your own ignorance.

00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Is something to accept. If you can just be curious,

357
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: to be open to the idea that you are wrong

358
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: or something you don't know, you know how much smarter

359
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: you're going to get than if you just assume you

361
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,240

368
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: and sometime I don't have to argue with you, I said,

369
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: and watch you argue with yourself, and then you come

370
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: around to what my opinion was anyway, without me having

371
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,439
