0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>morning everyone, Thank you for joining us for today's Morning Run.

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 1>It is Wednesday, April thirtieth. I'm Amy Robots.

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>And I'm TJ Holmes, And in the interest of full disclosure,

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna let you all know. This is our second

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>time recording this episode because Robes, we are so exhausted

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 2>that apparently we screwed something up the first time we

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>recorded the Morning.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Run and one of our mics wasn't working.

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so I think it was my mic that wasn't working,

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>So we could have just done a morning run with

0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>TJ Holmes and nobody.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Wants that you can girly hear talking. But this was

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>completely my fault. I needed to look over and see

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 2>that her audio wasn't going up and down on the

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 2>little screen here, So that's on me. But just letting

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, this one's gonna be great because we already

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>practiced once.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, this is take two of our Morning Run.

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>But hello everybody, and welcome on this morning's Wednesday Morning Run.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>What we got for you. We got Trump twenty twenty eight.

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.959
<v Speaker 2>The constitution says he can't run again, but nobody at

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 2>his one hundred day rally last night in Michigan seemed.

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>To care plus the biggest interview of Trump's presidency so far,

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>but the two biggest stars at ABC were nowhere to

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be found, and Trump and Bezos make up after the

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>White House publicly pounces on Amazon for even thinking about

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>posting products tariff costs on its site.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Also on this morning's Ron Ups announced twenty thousand layoffs

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 2>after making a decision to take a step back from

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 2>its biggest customer Amazon. Also, a second state is set

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>to ban fluoride in its public drinking water.

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Plus, GM recalls six hundred thousand vehicles, including some of

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 4>the most popular trucks and SUVs on the road right now,

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 4>And Katie Perry gets an apology, but no, it was

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 4>not from Wendy's. We will tell you who publicly apologized.

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>To the pop stars.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Still waiting on you those Wendy's. But on the first leg,

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>let's start our run here. It is Folks Day one

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred and one of the Trump presidency. Day one hundred

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>yesterday was an eventful one from start to finish, and

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>we're going to start with how he finished the day

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>at a rally in Michigan.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Last night, President Trump looking an awful lot like candidate

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump at what was billed as a celebration of his

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>first one hundred days in office. His main message, you

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen anything yet.

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>That's actually a direct quote from him.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Verbatim, exactly what he said. So last night's rally resembled

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>many of the campaign rallies we came to know during

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>his president's run. So you got the adoring supporters out

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>there in the crowd, a lot of red hats, a

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 2>few insults thrown around, plenty of bluster about his accomplishments,

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 2>and also in typical Trump fashion, roads he talked for

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a long time.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>How long do you ask?

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, he went on for about an hour and a

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>half with a sign behind him that read one hundred

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>days of Greatness. Subtle, Yeah, it's very subtle. Trump gave

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 1>this assessment of his second term. It is the most

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>successful first one hundred days of any administration in the

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>history of our country.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Again subtle. He also added that tariffs are working. He

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>touted his immigration policies. He reminded us that he's smarter

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>than the Fed chairman. He said his current low approval

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>numbers are not legit, and in another all important moment

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>of the night. He actually pulled the crowd to ask

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>them which nickname they preferred. He used to refer to

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>former President Biden. Your choices are Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>He asked the crowd which one should I go with?

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>And we went back and listened, and there was a

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>clear winner. The crowd loved Crooked Joe. It clearly won

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>and beat Sleepy Joe.

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Sleepy was a little kinder, right. It seemed like it

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't seem mean what he said.

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>The meaner the better in the crowd applauded and shared,

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>just as Trump was hoping they would do.

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, let's start now with how the president started his day.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Earlier in the day, he marked his first one hundred

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>days in office by doing an extended interview with ABC News.

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>That interview is making headline because of who did the interview.

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>It was not David Muir, the network's biggest star who

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>also anchors World News Tonight. It was just named to

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Times one hundred Most Influential lists, like.

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 2>A no brainer. He would do it right what you

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>just said, But it also wasn't George Stefanopolos and Walking

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Encyclopedia of US politics. He hosts Good Morning America and

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the network's Sunday morning show. Another good option. Yes, those two.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>But now we're not gonna go with mirror stuff Anopolis.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>We're going with Terry Moran. Do you know that name, folks,

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Terry Moran. Now he is not one of the more

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 2>high profile anchors over that ABC News, but he has

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a long time journalist who's traveled all of the world,

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 2>done big interviews, covered the Supreme Court. We've worked with

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>this guy and he knows his stuff. So this is

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 2>not an indictment on him and his ability. We know

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>he can do the job just as well or better

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 2>than they could. It's just that when you have these

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>high profile interviews, you're used to seeing the biggest stars

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>of a network do it.

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when you're at a network, you don't even I

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>would never even think to, you know, raise my hand, Hey,

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll interview President Trump because I know I'm not. I'm

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>so far back in line. It's always going to go

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>to the main, big anchors.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>And then about I was about three people behind you

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>in line, so I knew I was liking here.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 1>So the question why go with Terry Moran over the

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>two of the biggest stars.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 3>At ABC News. Well, there's a clear answer. Trump hates

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 3>both of them.

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Trump took issue with Mure after he moderated that

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>presidential debate with Lindsay Davis last year. Trump and a

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of other folks accused Mure of being one sided,

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of not giving Kamala Harris the same tough treatment. Remember,

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>there weren't supposed to be fact checking involved with the questions,

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and yet they fact checked Trump and they pointed out

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>they did not do the same.

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 3>For Kamala Harris.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Afterwards, Trump took issue with Muir for a lot of things,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>also his hair, he mocked his hair.

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>And then, of course there's the issue of George.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and that issue has to do with a bunch

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 2>of money. Trump sued ABC because of George. George Chefanopolis

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>wrongly and repeatedly said that Trump had been held liable

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>for rape. Again, remind me he said it ten times.

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I believe it was ten times, and the actual charge

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>was sexual assault. And there's a big difference, a big

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>legal difference between rape and sexual assault.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>So Trump sued ABC. They eventually settled with Trump for

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 2>sixteen million dollars. So you knew there was no chance

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>George was going to be the one in there in

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the Oval office sitting down doing that interview. I think

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 2>he would have done a good job, and I think

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people would have watched. But I don't

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 2>know if Trump would ever go for that, because Trump

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 2>got to pick who was going to interview him, and

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>this is how things go in these big time interviews

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>A lot of times.

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but man, that would have been a sight to see.

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.159
<v Speaker 1>I would have been tuning in. So the responsibility, yes,

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>fell to Terry Moran. And if you're not familiar with him,

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.679
<v Speaker 1>apparently the president isn't either. At one point, Trump said

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>this in the interview, I picked you because I never.

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 3>Heard of you.

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>But that's okay, Yeah, I mean it is funny and

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess honest at that point.

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 2>But it was contentious at times. Terry Moran did his job,

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>asked the right questions and responded the right way and

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't get work. He looked like a seasoned journalist in

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>doing what he's doing. But something to keep an eye

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>on tonight, folks, we're going to hear from Kamala Harris,

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 2>who we have not heard from in this first hundred days,

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>about anything related to Trump. She's speaking at an event

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>in California. She's going to be the keynote at a

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>women's gala out there, has nothing necessarily to do with Trump,

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 2>but it's honoring Democratic women. This is going to be

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the first time we hear from her, and we are

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>expecting ropes. Are they saying we're going to hear her

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>speak for the first time about what's been happening.

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, because they've said, look, if you think about it,

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>since she lost the election in November, she's truly refrained

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>from responding and reacting to any of Trump's policies and

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>all of the headlines that have happened over these first

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.559
<v Speaker 1>one hundred days. So yeah, she is expected to call

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>out Trump over his policies and how she believes they

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>are and he is failing Americans. Right.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll continue here on this Wednesday morning Ron with Amazon

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>CEO Jeff Bezos. He had a call with President Trump

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and apparently the two kissed and made up after

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>a report circulated that Amazon was planning to display how

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>much idea what cost with Trump's tariffs. You've seen this

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 2>in some places oversee some of the websites that will

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 2>now China based companies. You buy something and your receipt

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 2>shows this is what your price would have been. But

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it's got to be this and it shows how much

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs cost. Amazon was reportedly going to do this.

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh. So when we got out about this, the

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 2>White House responded. The briefing yesterday in the morning was contentious,

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and the Press Secretary of Carolyn Levitt called the potential

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 2>move by Amazon a hostile and political act.

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Levitt went on to ask why Amazon would change the

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>way it shows prices because of Trump's tariffs when the

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>company did not do the same with inflation prices during

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration. Well, that was all very effective because

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>within hours of the press briefing, Amazon announced the change

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>quote was never approved and is not going to happen

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>end quote.

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, the White House said, Trump called Bezos. Didn't

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 2>tell us exactly what the two said, but Trump did

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 2>later come out and told reporters that quote, Jeff was

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>very nice, he was terrific. He solved the problem very quickly,

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 2>and he did the right thing. So that went away immediately.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but it's interesting to see how their relationship has evolved,

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>because if you remember the first term, Trump like attacked Bezos,

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>constantly calling him bozo. He accused Amazon of harming small retailers.

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.439
<v Speaker 1>So now he you know, we've got Bezos at the inauguration.

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>He's saying, sure, no problem, we won't do what we

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>just said we would do. So it's it's been an

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>interesting evolving friendship. Next up on the run, let's keep

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about Amazon because it's also a big part of

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>another headline this morning. UPS has announced it plans to

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.199
<v Speaker 1>cut more than twenty thousand jobs and close more than

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>seventy buildings by the end of June. So just in

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 1>a couple months after deciding to cut back on Amazon deliveries.

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Cause Amazon is their biggest customer, and the UPS now

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 2>says the cuts is going to are going to allow

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>them to increase their profitability. UPS says it will say

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 2>three point five billion dollars this year with the decision,

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 2>which is counterintuitive that you're cutting your business with your

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>largest customer in half, but it's going to save you

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money. Now, despite all of this, they say, yes,

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Amazon is going to continue to have a strong working

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>relationship with UPS. So no love.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>We were trying to get our head around this because

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.839
<v Speaker 1>it seems like, yeah, you would want to have more

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>business with your largest company, but they say it wasn't

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.559
<v Speaker 1>a profitable business. So last year, just to get your

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>head around how much UPS delivers an average of twenty

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>two point four million packages a day. That means about

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>five point seven billion packages for the year. But a

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of folks, unfortunately, aren't going to be getting those

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>pink slips in the coming days.

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Next leg of our run takes us to Florida, where

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 2>it looks like that state is going to be the

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 2>second one in the country to remove fluoride from its

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>public drinking water.

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Lawmakers there passed a bill to stop using fluoride, so

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it now goes to the governor, Ron DeSantis, who has

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>already said that he is absolutely going to sign this

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>bill into law. The move comes after dentists and other

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>public health a visuals maintain that fluoride is a safe

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and effective way to keep teeth strong and reduce cavities.

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>You might remember it was Utah last month that became

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 2>the first state to ban fluoride, following a push by

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Health and Human Service AS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior.

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy has said that fluoride is a dangerous neurro toxin

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 2>that has been linked authoright as bone breaks, THYRAU disease,

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>and cognitive decline.

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Now, there have been some studies that have shown possible

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>links at much higher levels than we have currently in

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>our drinking water, and there is no definitive evidence that

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>backs up the claims that Kennedy has been making. In fact,

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>adding fluoride to our water system has been considered one

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest public health achievements of this past century.

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>A lot of folks who are upset about this point

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to the fact that there are many communities who count

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>on and rely on fluoride in their water to help

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>keep their young children's teeth strong. Some people don't have

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 1>the money to buy all of these expensive toothpastes and mouthwash,

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and so they say this is actually going to cause

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>damage and really cause harm to many segments of our population.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, folks, will stay with us on this Take

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 2>two edition of the Wednesday Morning Ron When we come back,

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>some of the most popular trucks and SUVs on the

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 2>road are being recalled, and it's a lot of them. Also,

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Katie Perry gets an apology from a fellow pop star.

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.839
<v Speaker 2>We'll read it to you and let you be the

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>judge if it was a sincere one or not. We

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>continue on this Wednesday morning, run now and next up.

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 2>GM is recalling some of its most popular trucks and

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 2>SUVs because of a problem that can cause the engine

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>to fail. We are talking about six hundred thousand vehicles

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 2>being recalled. Names like Escalate, Tahoe, and Yukon.

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Among those names, those are big ones, and GM says

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>there is a big defect in a couple of engine

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.319
<v Speaker 1>components that can lead to damage in the engine or

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 1>cause the engine to suddenly.

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Fail, which is kind of a big deal if you're

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 4>driving down the road and your engine stops working.

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, these are some late model vehicles. Twenty twenty one

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 2>to twenty twenty four are the vehicle years. But yes,

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 2>all the versions of the Escalades, Suburbans, Tahoe, Sierras, and

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Yukons these are all made by GM with the same

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Vight engine that is the problem. They are going to

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 2>fix it for you free of charge. You can certainly

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 2>call and go online and find out if your vehicle

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 2>is a part of this recall. However, if you are

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 2>an owner, you're not going to expect to hear from

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:37.199
<v Speaker 2>the company until June. They say. The letters alerting people

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 2>to this aren't being mailed until the first week or

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>so of June, and that was peculiar. If this is dangerous,

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 2>why isn't this an urgent thing to get everybody into.

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe don't think it's that big of a deal. Who knows.

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Good luck driving in May, is all I can say,

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>or at least I mean, if you've heard this, please

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>contact your dealer and try to get that done as

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>soon as possible. We're gonna move on out to the

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>final leg of our run today and probably one of

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>our favorite this is our favorite story the day Katie

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Perry is getting an apology from a fellow pop star

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>who now says it was mean of her to pile on.

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you might remember the backlash that came, including from

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 2>several high profile celebrity women, following Perry's star studed ride

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 2>to space aboard Jeff Jeff Bezos is in this a lot?

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he is.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 2>And it used to be just Elon and Trump. Now

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 2>we got Bezos and Trump dominating the news. But yes,

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>she went up in that blue or Orgon Bezos ship.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Not long ago celebrity studied trip, but a lot of

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 2>people came out and criticized that trip. Among them was

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>British pop singer Lily Allen. She said the trip was

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 2>a showy, unnecessary and tone deaf exercise.

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Allan apologized yesterday in the latest episode of her podcast,

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and we really appreciated that she did this. Too many

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 1>people are afraid or just their egos getting the way

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 1>and they won't apologize. Lily Allen, this is an amazing

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 1>apology and we'll quote it here.

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 3>This is what she said.

0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I would actually like to apologize for mean about Katy

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Perry last week. There was actually no need for me

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>to bring her name into it, and it was my

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>own internalized misogyny. That is such an interesting way to

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>put it, you know, because we pointed this out. We

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't hear any men pointing the finger at the women.

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Specifically Katy Perry.

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>It was all other women pointing the finger at Katy Perry,

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and so yeah, that's an interesting way to look at it.

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>She went on to say that she's actually been thinking

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>about it a lot and says, quote, it was just

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 2>completely unnecessarily the pile on with her. I mean, I

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 2>disagree with what it was that they did, but she

0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the only person that did it. She was possibly

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the most famous and the one that divides people the most,

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and so there was something in me that decided to

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>choose her as the person that should be singled.

0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Out that that is so big of her to say

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>all of this, And finally she added, I'm just sorry.

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I would have been hurt if it had been me

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and someone in my industry used me and my name

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and I saw that, and I'm sorry. You know, it's

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where you I'll tell our children

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and we tell ourselves to walk in someone else's shoes,

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>imagine what.

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 3>But most people don't.

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's really cool that she reflected on

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>it and what she said and she is now apologizing.

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I just think that's huge of her, and I wish

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>more of us could be like that. It reminds me

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>of that think before you speak acronym, it's true to

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>be you want it to.

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Be true on a true spot, honestly necessarian kind.

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And if it's not one of those things, then

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you probably don't need to say it.

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Please let this be a lesson to us all. Whatever

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 2>you thought about Katie Perry and whatever you think about

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Lily Allen. Both of them deserve some grace for what

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 2>they've done. Lily Allen, she misspoke and I will apply.

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't not familiar with her her music. She's a

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Grammy winner, but I'm I'm a fan of hers because

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of the apology now acknowledging that she did something that

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe was wrong. So we'll go about to now our Wednesday,

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 2>and we'll leave you with our quote of the day,

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 2>something we like for you to consider, and it's a

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 2>special one to us.

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm bigger than the bad thoughts. I'm brighter than

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the light they're trying to I won't let the bad

0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>thoughts take the wheel. This is from one of our

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>friends and an amazing musician, Rachel Platten, and we had

0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the honor of watching her perform and an intimate dinner

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>last night that Kenneth Cole. He held the dinner in

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.080
<v Speaker 1>honor of May first, which is tomorrow, which is Mental

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.479
<v Speaker 1>health Awareness month. And Rachel's been very open about her

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.120
<v Speaker 1>struggles with postpartum depression.

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 3>It got so bad she.

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't even get out of the bed for days, and

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>her entire last album, which is phenomenal, is pretty much

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>devoted to her struggle in her getting out of this darkness.

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 3>But it's so relatable.

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 1>So many people understand this, so many people have thoughts

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that just start to rule them and send you into

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a spiral. And I just loved this line from her

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>song that we got to hear her perform last night,

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Bad Thoughts.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.119
<v Speaker 2>So take this with you today, folks. I'm bigger than

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 2>the bad thoughts. I'm brighter than the light they're trying

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 2>to steal. I won't let the bad thoughts take the wheel.

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.159
<v Speaker 2>If you were listening to us, got that phone in

0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 2>your hand, probably go ahead, go to Spotify now and

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 2>look on Rachel Platt in that song bad Thoughts. We

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.199
<v Speaker 2>promise it is worth to listen. And just like the

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 2>rest of our music, actually that one today with that, folks,

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.040
<v Speaker 2>to appreciate you running with us.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm DJ and I'm Amy Roebuck.

0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 3>We will see you on the run tomorrow.

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Have a wonderful Wednesday.
