00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: and welcome to Morning Run. It is Thursday, March twelfth.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Roboch and we're already off to a better

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: start because I remembered to say my name today.

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's the little thing. It's a little win.

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 3: And that's a reminder everybody take the little winds. Don't

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 3: have to be big ones, the little things, just getting

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 3: the date right and your name right. Sometimes there's just

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: enough boom to get you going on a win streak.

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: And I'm TJ. Holmes wind streaks. I just want to mention.

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 3: We want to mention the Oscars just a few days away.

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: Y'all got a lot of work to do if you

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: need to catch up on some of these movies.

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Y'all, y'all, we have spent the last two weeks man,

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: trying to watch all the Oscar movies. We're going to

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: put up our movie reviews in the coming days leading

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: up to Sunday, but there is one movie.

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 4: In particular that took us four different days to watch.

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: And I'm not even exaggerating.

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: We're not folks.

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: Look, it's this is one of those things we watch

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: it you don't have to see exactly. It's not that

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: these movies aren't great, but ropes every one of them

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways. They are emotionally exhausting, but

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: they are a time consuming their commitments to these movies.

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're pushing three out for some of these movies.

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: And look, they're all epic and well acted, well directed,

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: well written, but they're heavy.

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: A lot of them are just emotionally heavy. I'd like

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 4: we said exhausting.

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: One of us even called Sentimental Value for God's Sake,

32
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: by the way, might be the best acted movie we saw.

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: The ten Yeah, it's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy. But anyway,

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: y'all need to start watching now. If you want to

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: get caught up with Sunday.

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: You can just listen to our episodes this weekend or

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: will fill in the planks.

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: We promise it'll be cliff notes versions. These will not

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: be extended episodes. But good morning to you all. Yes,

40
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: we'll take you a long in the morning run this morning.

41
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: We'll be making stops in Park City, Utah. Make a

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: stop at the Pentagon Press Room, make a stop on

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: the Oscars bread carpet the National Mall in DC. Ten

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: as well as out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: But we need to start this morning roads by thinking

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: about our brothers and sisters out in California. Got some

47
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: distressing news yesterday and understandably a little freaked out this morn.

48
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, a lot of folks getting a little paranoid,

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: a little concerned, because, yeah, they got the information that

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: for weeks their local officials have known that they could

51
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: possibly be targeted by Iran.

52
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: And we didn't get alerted by this because we got

53
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 3: breaking news alert So because we were watching news, No,

54
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: we started getting text messages from friends and colleagues out

55
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: in California absolutely worried about this. We see pictures every

56
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: single day for the past couple of weeks of bombs

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: going off in Iran and around that region, and now

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: they're being told Iran could retaliate here in the US.

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,559
Speaker 3: Let's give some context here. First, there is no specific

60
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: credible threat to California. However, that did make a lot

61
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: of folks feel better. Yesterday news came that federal officials

62
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: have warned state and local officials that Iran might want

63
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: to attack California with drones.

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Yes, and that alert was actually sent before the war started.

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: Just before the war started, federal officials have noted that

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Iran might aspire to pull off an attack like that,

67
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: but no certainty that they even have the capability to

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: pull it off.

69
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: So the keyword is aspirational.

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Not not credible, actually or capable. They are really questioning

71
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: whether or not Iran even has the ability to pull

72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: off something like this, So a warning, but with context. Meanwhile,

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: we're now on day thirteen of the war with Iran.

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Dan Israel and the United States have kept up their

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: bombardment of Irani and targus. The President Trump said yesterday

76
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: that the US has already won the war, but he

77
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: then also added yesterday that we still have to quote

78
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: finish the job.

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: I don't understand how those two things go together, he.

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: Said at two different times, so okay, he was two

81
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: different audiences, so maybe they didn't get.

82
00:03:58,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: Too very different meanings.

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Okay, But Iran, by the way, has been able to

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: keep up attacking targets in the energy sector. They've gone

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: after oil tankers, and they have been able to essentially

86
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: choke off most, if not all, traffic in the Strait

87
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: of Hormuz, which is certainly a major problem. For folks

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: and oil prices, and yes, translating to what we're about

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: to talk about now.

90
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: Now we're seeing that spike in oil prices. You're talking

91
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: about twenty percent of the world's oil that needs to

92
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: travel through the strait of horror moves. And if that

93
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: comes to a trickle or even a stop, yes, it's

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: going to have an impact. And the oil prices have

95
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: been spiking. They went over one hundred dollars a barrel yesterday.

96
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: That was the second time we've seen since this war started,

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: and that's something we haven't seen in a few years.

98
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: Wow.

99
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: And so yes, I'm sure you've all noticed the jump

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: and gas prices up sixty cents in just the past month.

101
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: A number of wealthy oil producing countries did announce yesterday

102
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: a historic move that is supposed to help.

103
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, releasing four hundred million barrels of oil from there reserves.

104
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: This represents the largest such emergency oil release in their history.

105
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: The United States also announced that what one hundred and

106
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 3: seventy million barrels supposed to be released from the US

107
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: oil reserves. Again, it's going to take that stuff a while,

108
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: they say, robes to get into the market and to

109
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: make a difference, so the prices might stay inflated for

110
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 3: a while.

111
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: All right, Next up on the Run, we'll stay on

112
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: that topic and just point out that war is expensive.

113
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: The Pentagon has given Congress the receipts reflecting just how

114
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: much the war with the Run has already cost us taxpayer.

115
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: We know generally, right, of course, war costs a lot

116
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: of money, but this is still, for whatever reason, a

117
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: bit staggering. The total eleven point three billion.

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: Dollars in the first six days.

119
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: Within a week of the war, we had put out

120
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: eleven point three billion dollars in robes. They say that

121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: does not include the cost of moving people and equipment

122
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: around before the war started, just getting everybody in place.

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: That cost is in facted in. So these numbers come

124
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: to a from the New York Times, which says the

125
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: Defense Department briefed Congress this week on the war costs.

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: All right, Next up on the Run, it looks like

127
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: it was in fact the United States that mistakenly struck

128
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: that girls' school in Iran.

129
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of evidence has been pointing toward this

130
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: in recent days. But that strike on the first day

131
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: of the war killed at least one hundred and fifty

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: school children. Several news outlets, citing Pentagon sources, are reporting

133
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: that a preliminary military assessment shows that, yes, the US

134
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: was at fault for that strike.

135
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: A formal investigation is underway and will likely take months.

136
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: We should mention the arobes it was a strike. They say,

137
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 3: this wasn't nessari an accident.

138
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: It was bad detail, outdated maps, outdated intel as to

139
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: where the military installations were. And in fact, we've said

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: this before and it will be pointed out there is

141
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: a military installation literally right next door. And I believe

142
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: that that girls school was once also attached to that installation,

143
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: but had since changed over into a school.

144
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: And it's just they hit what they were aiming for.

145
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: They just didn't know they should not have been aiming

146
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: for it.

147
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just incredibly beyond tragic. All right.

148
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, we will turn now here

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: to the United States and the prosecution expected to rest

150
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: its case on a trial we have been following and

151
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: has certainly captivated much of the nation.

152
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: It's the so called Grief author murder trial.

153
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: There was another someone used a different name yesterday. Oh

154
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: my god, it.

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Was a husband poison husband poison murder trial something like that.

156
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: There was, But yeah, you hear that and you get

157
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: the idea. You know what we're talking about. We're talking

158
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: about Corey Richins, the Utah mother of three. She is

159
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: on trial accused of spiking her husband's drink with a

160
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: lethal dose of fentanyl. She would later then go on

161
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 3: to write a children's book meant to help kids deal

162
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: with the grief of losing a parents.

163
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: And the defense yesterday really went after the credibility of

164
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: a couple of state witnesses. And you could see on

165
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Corey Richand's face that she had a shift in attitude.

166
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: She felt like maybe at least yesterday she was winning

167
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: or had a chance at winning.

168
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: But they were really going after.

169
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: Her former housekeeper, the woman who the prosecution claims gave

170
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: her the drugs that Corey Richins, they say, then gave

171
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: to her husband. Now, today the big question will be,

172
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: once the prosecution resks rests, will Corey testify. The defense

173
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: said they need about thirty minutes to talk with their

174
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: client to see what she will do.

175
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: We could have those answers this morning. Continuing on the

176
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: run here now on this Thursday, A lot of last

177
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: words from a condemned killer last night. Cedric Rix was

178
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: executed last night in Texas. He'd been on death row

179
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: for the twenty thirteen deaths of his girlfriend and her

180
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: eight year old son.

181
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: But before the lethal injection was administered, Rix was offered

182
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity for his last words, and he took that opportunity,

183
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: and he chose to repeatedly apologize to the family of

184
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: his victims, who were all there. I believe seven family

185
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: members were there watching his lethal injection. He began by saying,

186
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: I want to say that I'm sorry for taking Roxanne

187
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: and Anthony from y'all. I'm glad to be able to

188
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: speak to tell y'all that face to face.

189
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: And this is coming through us from reporters who were

190
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: in the room. But he was in there. He killed

191
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: a mother and her young son, but he also attacked

192
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: the woman's other son, who was stabbed some twenty five

193
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: times and survived.

194
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: He was how old at.

195
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: The time, He was twelve at the time, twenty five yesterday.

196
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: In that chamber, he was in there. And so this

197
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: condemned killer said this, speaking directly to the condemned to

198
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: the son, quote, I always thought about you, and I'm

199
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: sorry that I took your mom and your brother away.

200
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: I hate that you had to experience that. I just

201
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: can't imagine. But I'm truly sorry for what I've done,

202
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: and I wish y'all peace and joy as much as

203
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: you can. But I'm sorry, and that's all I can say.

204
00:09:59,120 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: Brochs.

205
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. We have heard from family

206
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 3: members in the past the words, those final words do

207
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 3: make a difference, and they do matter.

208
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Yes, but specifically to the surviving son. He witnessed his

209
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: mother's death, his brother's death and had to testify to

210
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: that in court, so they didn't speak when they left

211
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: the courtroom. But look, I don't nothing can bring them

212
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: the peace after surviving something so horrific. But I imagine

213
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: hearing those words had an impact.

214
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: And the reporters did mention that Rix there as he

215
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: was about to die, did have tears in his eyes.

216
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: And he also said to the people he killed, to

217
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: the mother and the son that he killed, he said

218
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: he would quote like to tell them I'm sorry face

219
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 3: to face, talking about possibly the afterlife. Bok wrote was

220
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: a heinous crime, but there is a human side always

221
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: to these It's not just good and evil.

222
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: Right and wrong.

223
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: Monsters and angels, you know, so I want to make

224
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: sure we pass that along.

225
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: This was you know what.

226
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: That was one case we didn't know if we were

227
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: going to cover a lot because there was no question

228
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 3: of guilt or innocince. There was no question, right, that

229
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: kind of legal debate going back and forth, But it

230
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: turns out.

231
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Look, look, I feel like every one of these executions,

232
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: no matter how you feel about the death penalty, I

233
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: get something from them in terms of lessons about life.

234
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: You hear regret, you hear apologies, you see forgiveness. Sometimes

235
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: they actually can be powerful moments where you learn about

236
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: how to live your own life better.

237
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 3: All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this

257

Speaker 3: to make fun of the relationship and keep that story alive.

258
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,640

265
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,400

Speaker 2: See where this is going.

283
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein,

284
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucus parties, and

285
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: secret nude sketches.

286
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 3: Hey, you got to give them credit. That's that's okay,

287
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 3: give them credit for that.

288
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. And so how long is it gonna last?

289
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: Don't know. They it came down last time and was damaged.

290
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: There was a permitting issue too, Yeah, and then they

291
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: had to repermit it. They put it right back up,

292
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: But yes, it did get damaged.

293
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: We'll see how long this one the White hasse had

294
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: something to say. I think the response was something about

295
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: when are they going to put something out with Democrats

296
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,560

297
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: Okay, standard stuff.

Speaker 3: Continue here on the run. Now we're going to head

299
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: over to the Pentagon. This was the headline, Pentagon bars

300
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: photographers over unflattering photos of Hecseth. Now, the first reaction

301
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: to this, I thought, robe that this is no way

302
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: this is true. But this was the first headline we

303
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: got from the Washington Post. Yes, and then they got

304
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: went everywhere.

305
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: You came to me and said, there's no way this

306
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: is true. It is true, and yes, several outlets are

307
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: reporting there. Photographers have not been allowed to cover the

308
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: past to Pentagon briefings because after that first Pentagon briefing.

309
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: Heckshcheff didn't like the photos that were taken of him.

310
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that is Look, when you're a public figure,

311
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: a man welcome to the world of the spotlight.

312
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: And by the way, he was a Fox News anchor.

313
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: You would think he would know this.

314
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: When you walk on the street, everywhere you go, guess

315
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: what your fair game?

316
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: Hey, but I don't know.

317
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: I still have problems with this story to think that

318
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: anyone in a time of war would have this on

319
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: his or her mind. But the National Press Photographers Association

320
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: did put out a statement saying this. They said, quote,

321
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 3: they find it stunning that one of the nation's highest

322
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: officials is more concerned with his personal vanity than with

323
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: complete and accurate reporting of briefings during a war against

324
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: Iran in which Americans have lost their lives. Preventing credential

325
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: journalists from documenting official government briefings because officials dislike how

326
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: they appear in photographs raises serious First Amendment concerns. They

327
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: kind of nail it without getting mean that.

328
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, I feel like that's

329
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: a very fair statement. Now here's the White House response.

330
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: The administration said they dismissed the reporter, They called out

331
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: the Washington Post for laying off photographers, and then we

332
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: get this from the Pentagon Press Secretary. In order to

333
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: use space in the Pentagon briefing room. Effectively, we are

334
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: allowing one representative per news outlet. If uncredentialed excluding pool,

335
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the

336
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: public and press to use. If that hurts the business

337
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying

338
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: for a Pentagon Press credential. Everyone knows what that means.

339
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: That means you have to sign a pledge saying you

340
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: won't report any news stories that haven't been authenticated and

341
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: approved by the Pentagon, which, again from a journalist from

342
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: our perspective, completely makes it not journalism.

343
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: They say it's a space issue.

344
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: So now they're limiting how many people you can get

345
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: in so you can get the reporter or the photographer,

346
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 3: and I mean you need the reporter in the room.

347
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: So now Roges is not just information. Now they are

348
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: they have full control over images and photos of him

349
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 3: that come out.

350
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 4: And I was trying to find the photographs that he's

351
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: so upset about. But if you, he's got some angry photographs.

352
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know necessarily, I mean, there are plenty

353
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: of unflattering pictures of him all over the internet, same

354
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: with me, same with you.

355
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 4: That's the way the cookie crumbles.

356
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe he's just I don't know, maybe he

357
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: doesn't like the pictures they're choosing. He made all these phases,

358
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: nobody's altering the pictures. Yeah, just maybe he's upset that

359
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: some choose to use the ones that are unflattering. All right,

360
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 3: well we will continue here last lack of our run here.

361
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: Now we need to give an update on this. We've

362
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: been talking about this last couple of days. We needed

363
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: to duck. NASA has been telling us that thirteen hundred

364
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: pound satellite that was out of commission crashing back to

365
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 3: the Earth. They so told it was supposed to be

366
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 3: back by seven forty five.

367
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: The last Tuesday night.

368
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be.

369
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: It's Wednesday night, so it was, it was. It was

370
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: almost twelve hours late on what they said. They gave

371
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 4: it a twenty four hour wind.

372
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: Yea, so it's back.

373
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: The Van Allen probe officially re under the Earth's atmosphere

374
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: at six thirty seven am Eastern time yesterday. They say

375
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: went down somewhere over the eastern Pacific Ocean. But that's

376
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: I guess that's not so we give them credit for

377
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: being within that twenty four hour period. But we shouldn't

378
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: give them credit because this thing is like twelve years early, right.

379
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's twelve years early.

380
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: And they also described it as uncontrolled, like they didn't

381
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: know where it was going to land. But because the

382
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: world is covered by water, seventy percent of the world

383
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: is covered by water.

384
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: It was like they were hoping and thought it was

385
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: probably sure enough, it did.

386
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: Just outside of the Galopagos, Right's and everybody's okay, everybody's okay,

387
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: just like they predicted probably going to happen that way.

388
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: So now they can say nailed it.

389
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: I still don't feel I don't still I still don't

390
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: feel comfortable with their how the low risk.

391
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 2: I always do it the way meteorologists do it.

392
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 3: Snowstorm is coming between three and twelve inches, so that

393
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: as long as you get somewhere in there, they can

394
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: say they got it right.

395
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but snowfall isn't going to kill me, Okay, thirteen

396
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: pounds satellite traveling at I don't even know the speed

397
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: of light is probably going to all.

398
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: Right, before we let you go, man, I don't have

399
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: the quote today does not go along with this last story,

400
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: but it is worth talking about anyway. Something we'd like

401
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: for you to take with you our quote of the day.

402
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: It is robes. Setbacks and failures.

403
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 3: Can be debilitating events that are depressing and painful. These

404
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: setbacks are coming every single day, and your happiness depends

405
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 3: on your ability to put them in perspective.

406
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 4: That's perfect.

407
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: I think I got that from I think a lady

408
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: on my insight time.

409
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 4: Oh I thought you were going to say Instagram. I

410
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: was gonna be like, you've joined the masses.

411
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: I do not know, but now this is all that's

412
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 3: my key. It depends on you know, I'm bad about this.

413
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 3: With my mood, something will happen and it sends me

414
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: over the edge. The same thing happens two days later

415
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: when I have rest, and it's not a big deal.

416
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of perspective sometimes that you're sometimes

417
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: you can put in better perspective when you're rested, not

418
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: as good sometimes when you drag it.

419
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what this morning and this is a

420
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: perfect quote. But remember I said you seem upset about something.

421
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: You said, I'm awake. Of course I am.

422
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: That actually is a true quote from earlier this month.

423
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: I was trying to give something inspirational. Now you just

424
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: hit them with.

425
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 3: That quote of the day, I'm awake, So yeah, I'm

426
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: pissed and with that, enjoy your Thursday.

427
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: No, can you read it first one more time. It

428
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: really is an awesome quote that we can all take

429
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: to heart today.

430
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: Setbacks and failures. Failures can be debilitating events that are

431
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: depressing and painful. These setbacks are coming every single day,

432
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: and you're hatiness depends on your ability to put them

433
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 3: in perspective. And with that, folks, we always appreciate you

434

436

Speaker 3: Cory Richards trial. We might learn whether or not she

Speaker 3: is going to testify, so keep an eye on that.

438
