This court 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: now says that President Trump cannot impose his Liberation Day 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: taras you remember the ones he was up there with 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: the big poster board pointing everybody that all the countries listed. Yeah, 39 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: all that shouldn't have happened because he didn't have the 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: authority to do it. According to this three judge panel, 41 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: they have now blocked Trump's tariffs after several lawsuits have 42 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: argued that yes, he exceeded his authority. 43 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: Congress typically approves tariffs, not the President, and the judges agreed. 44 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: Trump circumvented Congress by claiming he had the right to 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: act under an emergency powers law, saying, our trade deficits 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: have become, yes, a national emergency. But the judges ruled 47 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: that Trump's tariffs do not meet the condition of an 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: unusual and extraordinary threat that would allow the president to 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: act alone without congressional approval. 50 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: Hogwash, says the White House. They responded by saying this 51 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: and I quote, it is not for unelected judges to 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: decide how to properly address a national emergency. They also 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: noted that the Trump administration has already filed a notice 54 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: of appeal to challenge yesterday's decision. That means the case 55 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: is headed to the US Court of Appeals, where the 56 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: White House will ask for a stay of this most 57 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: recent order. Legal experts believe the case is probably headed 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court. And who are those unelected judges 59 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: he's talking about ropes? 60 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: Yes, so there are three of them, and one was 61 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: appointed by Ronald Reagan, one was appointed by Barack Obama, 62 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: and the other was appointed by President Trump. 63 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: And he still don't like him. That's as much variety 64 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: as he's going to Get's court. 65 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, more to come on this a lot more. Next 66 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: up on a run though, we turned to the Ditty trial. 67 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: We'll stay here in Manhattan, where Shancomb's defense team actually 68 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: tried to end the whole thing. Yesterday, his attorneys asked 69 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: the judge to declare a mistrial on grounds of prosecutorial misconduct. 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: We're not going to get into the weeds, but basically, 71 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: the defense attorneys argue that the prosecution made a claim 72 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: that did he might have destroyed fingerprint evidence, and just. 73 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: By suggesting that you put that in the jury's head 74 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: that maybe this guy's destroying evidence, so therefore he must 75 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: be doing something wrong. They said, come on, you shouldn't 76 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: have even mentioned that. The judge said he put poop 77 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: poo on the mistrial argument. 78 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: So by washing poo poo, you're on a roll today. 79 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is where I am on this Friday Eve.

They actually thought she wrapped on a Friday robe. 126 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: Do you remember they said she has to be out 127 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 2: of here because she might have the baby this weekend.

From all indications, they're doing well. They 131 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: have two kids already, two young girls. But any woman listening, 132 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: anybody who's had a baby, can think of how stressful 133 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: that time is, especially that last month. And to think 134 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: that she was on the stand doing what she did 135 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: for three days, I think twenty hours is how much 136 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: she testified under this stress. It's incredible. 137 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: I can not even imagine what that must have been 138 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: like for her. And yes, your emotions and your anxiety 139 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: and your stress levels all affect the baby, and my goodness, 140 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: she definitely was able to give that powerful testimony just 141 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: in the nick of time. 142 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: And a little context here. And I changed actually ropes 143 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: this morning. How I wrote some of the stories because 144 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: her friend Deontae Nash, she was on the stand. The 145 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: defense attorney mentioned her and saying something but just asking 146 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: a question about miss Ventura and corrected her missus fine, right, 147 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: he's trying to make a point kind of Yes, that's 148 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: her name, that's what she has it on her Instagram. 149 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: And she is married to this man, and she has 150 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: moved on with her life. She's not that And it 151 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: was just a moment that he took to say missus fine, 152 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: And I thought that actually spoke a lot about us. 153 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: All need to remember who this moment is, where she is, 154 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: what she've been through. But she is a married moment 155 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: with three kids now. Yeah, she's moved on with her life. 156 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: And yes, so I started writing missus vent Tura fine 157 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 2: this morning. 158 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: That's true because if you think about how she is 159 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: now being regarded and most likely will be remembered as 160 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: a part of these freak offs and just something that's 161 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: so different than who she is today. So that makes 162 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. All right.

Hard to 171 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 2: escape from prison on Sunday afternoon by impersonating a corrections officer. 172 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was not in a standard correctional uniform for 173 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: that facility, but according to authorities, and if you look 174 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: at the surveillance video, he looked and acted enough like 175 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: an officer that a prison guard opened the gate for 176 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: him and let him freely walk out of the facility. 177 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: It happened around two fifty five pm on Sunday afternoon. 178 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: Garb fired Yet. 179 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we don't know yet, but officials are investigating 180 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: how Harden was able to get this uniform that he 181 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: was wearing, or whether he was able to make it himself. 182 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's confusing because it's not the one that 183 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: they issue, but it looked official. 184 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: Where did it come from exactly? Sow it in there somewhere. Well, 185 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 2: authority's an hour using everything they got, drones, helicopters, police 186 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: dogs to search the rocky and ruggered yes, ozarks, the 187 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: terrain up there. This is all outside of the prison. 188 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 2: They're searching that area. But two years ago, Harden and 189 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: his crimes were turned into a true crime documentary that 190 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: streamed on Max and is on Hulu. It's called Devil 191 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: in the Ozarks and Robes, I have it right. He was. 192 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: He was caught for one crime and then he was 193 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: linked to something twenty years prior because of DNA. 194 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: Right, it was an unsolved vicious rape. And so when 195 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: he was charged with the murder for shooting a city employee, 196 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: a guy who ran the water department in the head, 197 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: they ran hiss DNA and boom, it popped up in 198 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: this rape case, this cold case from twenty years prior. 199 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: So he was convicted for thirty years for the murder, 200 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: fifty years for the rape. But a lot of folks 201 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: are really concerned that he may be on a vengeance tour. 202 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: They have described him as evil and there's just a 203 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: lot of fear in that area right now, all right. 204 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: Next up on our ran a screen legend has passed away, 205 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: but the way you know him on screen is as 206 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: a duck from outer space and as a red headed 207 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: psycho killer doll. We are talking about Ed Gail. That 208 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: is the actor who portrayed Howard the Duck and the 209 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: original Chucky in Child's Play. 210 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: And that's something a guy is. These movies have played 211 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: such a role in so many of our lives and 212 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: just didn't know the name of the guy who was 213 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: behind it. But yes, it's Ed Gayle. He was born 214 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: with dwarf fizzelm and he passed away this week at 215 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: the age of sixty one. Now his niece put out 216 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: a statement on behalf of the family, and it's one 217 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: of the more colorful death announcements about a public figure 218 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: that you will ever Here, we are not overstating that, folks. 219 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: And so the statement begins with this quote, it is 220 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: with a heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin that 221 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: we announced the sudden passing of our uncle Ed Gaile. 222 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: That's funny, that's amazing. I love that they can find 223 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: humor or just keep even the death announcement in the 224 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: spirit of who he was. 225 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: Yes, but this is the other thing about it. I 226 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: read it right, just the lines, but they put something 227 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: in parentheses when they wrote it. It is with a 228 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: heavy heart and surprisingly light coffin parentheses. See what I 229 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: did there, And then they went there clearly amazing they're 230 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 2: doing with this. But it's a really funny statement. 231 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love because it continues in the same spirit. 232 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: It goes on to say that Gail leaves behind a 233 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: full legacy of questionable lighting and amazing one liners Ed's 234 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: favorite role was that of the fun uncle.

I too have enjoyed a seven eleven hot dog. 237 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I think that was after the Chicago marathon. 238 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: He hated Bill Maher for no good reason. He had 239 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: one hell of a laugh and we will and he 240 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: will be missed. Rest in love, you cranky bastard. 241 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: That's great, you know what. 242 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: That's amazing. That speaks to who he was and how 243 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: he didn't take himself so seriously and loved laughing. I 244 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: just I think that's so cool. It speaks volumes about 245 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: who he was. Gil By the way, as we mentioned, 246 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: we might not not have known his name, he had 247 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty film and TV credits to his name, 248 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: which is remarkable. 249 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: We can legitimately say he was a film legend that 250 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: nobody knows his name. Nobody walking down the street, you'll 251 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: be able to come up with his name, but everybody 252 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 2: knows Chucky.

That 292 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: the richest man in the world is the latest government 293 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: employee to lose his job. 294 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: Okay, different circumstances here, but still Musk says he is 295 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: officially done with his role in the Trump administration. As 296 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: head of DOGE, the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency 297 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: was given the task of cutting government waste. Musk headed 298 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: it as a quote special government employee that's what it's 299 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: called as a designation. That meant though he could only 300 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: work one hundred and thirty calendar days a year for 301 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: the government. 302 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: So Musk made the announcement on X saying, as my 303 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: scheduled time as a special government employee comes to an end, 304 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: I would like to thank President Donald Trump for the 305 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The DOGE mission will only 306 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life 307 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: throughout the government. So Musk is out of one job, 308 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: but he already has some other gigs lined up in 309 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: case you were wondering, you know, CEO of Tesla SpaceX 310 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: and XAI and artificial intelligence startup, and you know, I 311 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: wonder how much this statement might have been in response 312 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: to some of the swirling rumors out there that there's 313 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: some big rift between the two, because Musks made statement 314 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: basically saying he was disappointed with this big, beautiful bill 315 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: that Trump is pushing. So there was a lot of 316 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: speculation as to whether or not they were partying on 317 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: good terms or bad terms. 318 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: I wonder that was such a public bromance, and it 319 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: was over the top billionaire bromance that we couldn't imagine. 320 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: We all some probably looked at say, oh, yeah, this 321 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: angle end will. 322 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: But also you can have a disagreement and still be 323 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: friends and be fine. We have disagreements all the time 324 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: and we're still together. 325 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: We had a disagreement over what we should be calling 326 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: this a Friday Eve run or is it the Thursday run? 327 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: And look we're still doing great. 328 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll only got one story to get through and 329 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 2: the final leg of our run.
