4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: Let's get the birthday wishes out of the way. Ava

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: would be mad at us if we didn't start the

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: day off this Morning Run. Is the most important thing

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 3: to be said in this Morning Run is that it

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 3: is your oldest Ava Monroe's birthday.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it is Ava's twenty third birthday. Happy birthday to Ava.

10
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: We're going to make it a good one today.

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 3: So we got to get through this Morning Run because

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: she's sitting downstairs waiting on us to come celebrate her. No,

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: this is going to be a fun day and what

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 3: it's all about. Hello to you all. Glad you're spending

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: some time here with us. Are people back at work today?

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: Not twice for the vacation time, right?

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: I would hope most people, obviously lots of you out

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: there have to go to work totally get that this

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: is a tough week to work. We've done it plenty

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: of times in our lives. But yes, hopefully many more

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: are enjoying some time with their family hanging out out, chilling,

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: maybe on vacation, maybe having a staycation.

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: And maybe enjoying Quansa. Happy Kwanza is this is a thing. Look,

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: it's been around for a long time, but a lot

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: of people still don't quite understand Kwansa, and I don't

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: hear a lot of people necessarily giving Kwanza greetings. I

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: wish that would change. I wish it would come more commonplace,

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: because I just think that more thinks of it makes

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: us more diverse. Just to say happy Quansa, we say

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: happy Hanak that we do all have all these holidays.

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: I don't celebrate Kwansa. I'm not suggesting that. What I'm

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: suggesting is this, it's kind of cool to have this

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 3: diverse of a country.

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Yes, it's nice to have people be able to celebrate

35
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: the holidays in their own way, whether it's religious or

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: cultural or whatever. It's I always applaud celebrations of any kind.

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: So yes, Kwansa, Happy Quansa. We're in the fourth day

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: of Kwansa goes through January first, but goes from the

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: day after Christmas or January one. And again, this is

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: not a religious holiday. It is quite frankly made up.

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: It was completely created by a professor actually in nineteen

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: sixty six. He was a professor of Africana Studies at

43
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: cal State Long Beach and this was a way to

44
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: celebrate family, community and culture among the African American and

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: Pan African citizens right here in the US. So I

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: thought that was great. And you see the candles, it's

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: called a canara as a candle has the seven days

48
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: and seven principles of Kwansa. Before this moment, I don't

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: think I could have named one of them.

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: Oh, I wouldn't have known that. Yes, the seven days

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: and seven principles, this is all very interesting. Unity, self determination,

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Those

53
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: are all wonderful things to focus on on each of

54
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: the days of Kwansa. And yes, I love they light

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: a candle per day, kind of like the minora. You've got.

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: The kanara very cool. I didn't know any of that,

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: so I learned something today.

58
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: So that's all folks, Just to be aware this is

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: going on. It has been practiced by millions all over

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: the world for decades now. So happy Kwansa to you

61
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: out there. Also, we'll be getting into on the run

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: this morning Zelenski at Mara Lago. Also a tragedy in Oklahoma,

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: a target practice tragedy. We'll explain that. Also, a deadly

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 3: trailing rollment in Mexico. Baby news coming out of the

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: White House. And the Christmas box office was interesting. Apparently

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: a lot of you went to see movies. There was

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: some interesting numbers, including from Anaconda. Yeah, that was released

68
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: on Christmas Day.

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: We added to some of those numbers. Yes, indeed. And

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: when you said interesting, that always piques my interest because

71
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: you know what else is interesting and this is nothing

72
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: you want your meteorologists to say. But the weather is interesting,

73
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: as some forecasters would say. Yeah, the weather and the

74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: travel that we often see this week are not mixing. Well.

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: Three thousand flights were canceled or delayed across the country,

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: and we might just be getting started, unfortunately, because there

77
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: are parts of the country being hit with I love

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: all these meteorology meteor A lot you mess. I can't

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: say because I wanted to try it logical terms. Bomb cyclone,

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: That's what I was trying to say. I should just

81
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: stick to the facts. Bomb cyclone. Yes, that is happening

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: right now. It's dumping in some cases feet not inches

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: feet of snow in the Upper Midwest and the Great

84
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: Lakes regions. And there are weather advisories in place from

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: the upper Midwest all the way to the northeast.

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: And what is a bomb cyclone, you ask the It's

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: essentially hot air and cold air coming together quite violently

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: and making a very intense storm and creates high winds,

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: heavy rain or heavy snow in some cases.

90
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: But right now it's heavy snow. I can't remember the

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,679
Speaker 3: other time we were talking about the atmospheric river. Yes,

92
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: that's scary as hell. There's a heat dome. That's the one.

93
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: I think heat dome. We had that this summer and

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: in the bomb cyclone.

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: So when you hear mete or I'll just start pulling

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: out some of these terms, you better start paying attention.

97
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: They're very scary, all right. Continuing our run now closer

98
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: than ever before to a peace steal. That is what

99
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: we are hearing from the White House, specifically from President Trump.

100
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: He said this after his moroologo meeting with Ukrainian President

101
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: Zelenski that happened yesterday, and Zelenski, I believe President Trump said,

102
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't like numbers, but we're ninety five percent of

103
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: the way there, and then Zelenski followed up by saying,

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: we're ninety percent of the way there, so they gave numbers.

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: Okay, that doesn't bode well if we can't even agree

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 3: on how much we've agreed.

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: To exactly ninety five or ninety either way, it sounds

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: pretty impressive.

109
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: It sounds good.

110
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Now.

111
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: Priud to this meeting, the president goes on the phone

112
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: with Russian President Putin said this was a two and

113
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: a half hour meeting. After every meeting he has with Putin,

114
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: it seems like this is the line good and productive call.

115
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: That's all we got. Pretty vague, but right now some

116
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: of the still sticky issues involved whether Russia can keep

117
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: lamb that it's taken during the now four we're coming

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: up on four years wow of this war. Now, but again,

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: when you hear some positive news because it broke down

120
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: for a little while, Look, if this is on track,

121
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: if you're ninety percent agreed, man.

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: Let's hope they can bring home that last ten percent.

123
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna die today because of that. A good way

124
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 3: to put it, all, right, continue on the run here, Now,

125
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: this is an awful office Christmas Day tragedy robes we've

126
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: been talking about this morning, but so many people what

127
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: you get something new for Christmas, you want to go

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: out and you want to play with your new toy

129
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: or wear your new clothes. Where there was a man

130
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma who got a new gun for Christmas. So

131
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: sure enough he wanted to go out and kind of

132
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: play with it, if you will. But he wanted to

133
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: go out. He was firing his new handgun that he

134
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: had gotten for Christmas, and he ended up accidentally shooting

135
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: and killing an elderly woman. And that man has now

136
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: been charged with first degree manslaughter. Again, this happened on

137
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: Christmas Day.

138
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: Yes, the man thirty three year old Cody Wayne Adams

139
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: from Comanche, Oklahoma. He was actually shooting at a red

140
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: bull can and his neighbor was around a half a

141
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: mile away. That bullet traveled. He did not have they

142
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: call it a backstop in his yard yet. Maybe he

143
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: just hadn't put one up yet, but there was a

144
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: direct line of sight. He couldn't have known obviously. He

145
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: was aiming and missed at the red bullcan. It went

146
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: on to a front porch and it struck and killed

147
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: seems like almost immediately, an elderly woman that's how she's

148
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: been described, who was holding a baby in her other arm.

149
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: The bullet hit her right arm, the baby was in

150
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: her left arm, and police even said there was another

151
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: child in a stroller in front of her, along with

152
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: two other adults. This is such a scary and sad

153
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: and tragic, disturbing story. The woman's name was Sandra Phelps,

154
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: and yeah, the bullet moved from her right arm into

155
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: her chest cavity and killed her.

156
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: And you know, if it had missed her a little

157
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: bit to the left or right, it might have hit

158
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: one of those kids. It's just this is awful all around.

159
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: And when please found the man, they found him at

160
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 3: his home and he this wasn't him pushing back and

161
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: saying no, no, no no. They said he got visibly

162
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: and immediately upset and actually started to cry. At one

163
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: point during an interview later at the police station, he

164
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: actually said to them, I'm sorry he has been cooperative.

165
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: But yes, they say they had bought himself a block

166
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: forty five pistol for Christmas and was out in the

167
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: back trying it out.

168
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: Oh so sad, all right. Next up on the run.

169
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: At least thirteen people are dead and approximately one hundred

170
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: others injured. It happened in a Mexican train derailment. This

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: is the Interoceanic train line. It's about two years old,

172
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: so it's a relatively new train system and this happened

173
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: in the southeast part of the country.

174
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: And this is crazy. This is a big, big deal

175
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 3: for them. So, yes, thirteen people dead, one hundred people injured.

176
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 3: This is an awful tragedy. But you said Robe, it's

177
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: only two years old. This is an important train line

178
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: they are trying to develop for economic development that part

179
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: of the country that connects the Gulf of Mexico to

180
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: the Pacific Ocean. Wow. They built this robes to compete

181
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: with the Panama Canal, to give folks another option. Hey,

182
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: come take our route through instead of having to go

183
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: that route. That's what it was supposed to be. So

184
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: the tragedy is one thing, but this has been a

185
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: big investment for Mexico for years and this is really

186
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 3: going to set them back.

187
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was going to say, I don't know how

188
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: you recover from something like this because of the loss

189
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: of human life and just now the lack of I

190
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: would imagine confidence in getting back on that train system

191
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: and knowing that you could trust it. That's scary as hell.

192
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: All right. We do want to mention as well here

193
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: on the run a tragedy, another tragedy, this one in

194
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: New Jersey. Plane not planes, helicopters. Two helicopters collided in

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 3: New Jersey yesterday. One person dead, another as of this

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: recording is in critical condition and investigation is underway. Hamilton,

197
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: New Jersey. It's actually about thirty five miles southwest of

198
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: Philadelphia is where this happened. And it happened close to

199
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: the airport there, the Hamilton Municipal Airport there in New Jersey.

200
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: But again, remind me, Roobes, I'm only thinking of it

201
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: now if I got this wrong. Can you remember the

202
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: helicopter crash over the Hudson. Wasn't that around Christmas last year?

203
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: That family was, Yes, yes they were visiting and the

204
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: whole family, But that looked like it was pilot error.

205
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: Perhaps the way they turned the helicopter. It almost just

206
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: kind of imploded on itself. There was no mid air collision,

207
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: but when you hear mid air collision, you automatically go

208
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: back to January of last year and think about that

209
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: tragedy over Reagan National so it just this shouldn't happen.

210
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: This shouldn't happen.

211
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, another helicopter tragedy there. But stay with us, folks,

212
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: and know a lot of this has been heavy, and

213
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: we have seen number of tragedies and unfortunate news around

214
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: the holidays. But we will pick things up, I promise you,

215
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: because it's always good to hear about a new baby

216
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 3: being born, and we certainly don't hear about it often

217
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: from someone working in the White House in such a

218
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: prominent role. Yes, we got baby news out of the

219
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: White House, and we'll explain. Also interesting like I said, ropes,

220
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: interesting numbers coming out of the box office. But one

221
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: thing you could probably already guess Avatar III is doing.

222
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Justin Welcome back to this Monday edition of our Morning

223
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: Ron and we begin after the break with some happy

224
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: baby news. Congratulations to Carolyn Lovitt. She's announced it's a girl.

225
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: She is pregnant with her second baby with her husband Nick.

226
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: She already has a one and a half year old son.

227
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: His name is Nico. She is due in May of

228
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. That's very exciting. So she's pretty far along.

229
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Actually that means she's already four plus months along, so

230
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: she'll start to show.

231
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: Now you don't congrats to her, and she's put out pictures.

232
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: You talked about this. She's clearly very excited. I'm seeing

233
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: she's the first press secretary in US history.

234
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

235
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking back, there have been so many women.

236
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: I guess it feels like recently, but before that it

237
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: was none.

238
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: But dudes, that's true. I mean, that reads that's about right,

239
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: but I actually makes it.

240
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: But all the press secretaries I'm thinking of now I

241
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: see women as I'm thinking about press secretaries and to

242
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: hear now she's the first one. That is a big deal.

243
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 3: How do you handle that those two things? I think

244
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: she has an opportunity to really show something to the

245
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: country about what well we already know what women can do.

246
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 3: Let me not say that. What I'm saying to think

247
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 3: of that high stress, that high level. She's going to

248
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: stay in the job.

249
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking about that. Just look any

250
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: woman who has worked up until she gave birth, which

251
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: I think most of us do, and it's because we

252
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: have to, because we have to pay the bills. But

253
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 2: it's to do that in the public with cameras rolling

254
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: in a high pressured job where people are not necessarily

255
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: happy with what you're saying or agreeing with how you're

256
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: saying it. That takes a toll on a woman. So

257
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 2: I mean, kudos to her for sticking through it, because look,

258
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: we can do hard things, we can do tough things,

259
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: but you don't want to put emotional, extra emotional stress

260
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: on your body, on yourself when you're carrying another human life.

261
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: So look, that's a tough balance that she will be juggling,

262
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: but she's managed it well so far.

263
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 3: Those third trimester press conferences are going to be musty TV.

264
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: Honestly. Look, I mean, I don't know if everybody is

265
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: the same, but I will admit I was quick to

266
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: anger when I was pregnant. Pregnancy hormones are real. They

267
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: are real. So good luck to her, and maybe good

268
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: luck to the reporters in the briefing room.

269
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure the press corps is gonna give. They're gonna

270
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: be during.

271
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: Our big baby shower.

272
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: That would be cool. I would love to see that. Actually,

273
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: all right, the last leg of our run here the

274
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: box office. Over the weekend, we contributed a lot of

275
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: people went out to movie. This is a tradition you

276
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: go see a movie on Christmas or the holiday weekend,

277
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: so a lot of people did this. We already knew

278
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: Avatar three. Sorry, mister Cameron, it's Avatar, Fire and Ash.

279
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: I keep going Avatar three to you. You've been talking

280
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: about it like that.

281
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 3: Yes, Fire and Ash. But it's up to seven hundred

282
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: and sixty million dollars worldwide. It was always, of course

283
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: expected to break a billion, just how far over two billion.

284
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: It was usually a question of how far could go.

285
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: So it won the weekend no problem. But Zootopia two

286
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: ends up in a top spot, and then Marty Supreme,

287
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: The Housemaid and Anaconda. Now, the reason I'm not saying

288
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: exactly which order because some folks are doing the order

289
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: by the weekend, which was Friday, Saturday Sunday. That's a

290
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: normal box office. Some are doing it Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday.

291
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: So the numbers are all over the place, but generally

292
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: those were your top five. Avatar for sure was in

293
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: the top spot.

294
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: That's exciting. And we loved Anaconda. Just want to say,

295
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: we laughed out loud, had a blast. We can highly

296
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: recommend that movie. And we saw it with all three

297
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: girls and they all liked it, maybe not as much

298
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: as we did. We really because we're huge fans of

299
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: the original, and we would recommend if you go see

300
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: this movie, it's worth it to rewatch the j LO

301
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: original because it just it sets you right up for

302
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: this movie.

303
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: And you know, I and one other note about this,

304
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see where I got it, and I

305
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: want to give whoever credit, But I believe this movie

306
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: is the first comedy to do twenty plus million at

307
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: the international box office in decades.

308
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

309
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: These movies just don't do well overseas. American comedies overseas

310
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: don't use the action movies or something to do with

311
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: it did well overseas.

312
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I love that. I love this movie. I'm so

313
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: happy to hear that again.

314
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: Sorry, it was to Cameron. We know your movies wonderful.

315
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: We were in an Anakanda mood over the weekend. All right, folks,

316
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 3: Before we let you go, as always, we want to

317
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: leave you with something our quote of the day. Take

318
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: this with you. This is from Anne Landers and Landers

319
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: the columnist in Chicago. Now has it ad met? There

320
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: were two different women who wrote under the Ann Landers.

321
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that.

322
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's even Anne Landers's name was an Anne Landers.

323
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: It was something else. So two women wrote under it.

324
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: So I don't know which one to give credit to.

325
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: But this was the answer. When she was asked to

326
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: give what she would consider is the single most useful

327
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: bit of advice for all humanity. This was her answer,

328
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: And this is your quote of the day. Quote. Expect

329
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes,

330
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye

331
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: and say I will be bigger than you. You cannot

332
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: defeat me.

333
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: I love that all of humans.

334
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: She said it was the best advice.

335
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: You know what that is. I love that, And that's

336
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: so good to hear, because when you have that mindset,

337
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: it changes how you look at problems. It just does.

338
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: If you expect it, you're going to take it on

339
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: and you'll get through it. And that is the best way.

340
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: I love that quote. Great advice.

341
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: I had to get out of my own way here

342
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: and not just go through life go well, of course

343
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: the flight's late, Well of course, the cars all the time. Well,

344
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: of course my meal isn't cooked. And so you get

345
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: into a mindset of you just it's not a matter

346
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: of expecting everything to go wrong, but it.

347
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: Is life, of course, accepting it when it does and

348
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: knowing that it will get better.

349
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: So the advice, single most useful bit of advice for

350
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: all of humanity, expect trouble as an inevitable part of life,
