Good 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, October fifteenth. I'm Amy Robots. 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: And I'm TJ. Holmes, and I guess a lot of 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: you all are like us, been listening to NonStop Dangelo 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: music for the past twenty four hours or so. This 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: was Look, we knew he had been battling cancer, but 8 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: it's still sting. Fifty one years old. Dangelo a Grammy 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: winner and a pioneer that a lot of people are 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: actually starting to learn about. They know his music. I'll 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: surprised how many folks didn't know who he was, but 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: they knew of his songs. 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: I have been in that camp and have been listening 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: alongside you and just yeah, what a just an amazing 15 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: sound and feel smooth and it's sad all at once. 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: It's nice to honor him, it's not nice to remember him, 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: but it's just gutting to think that someone that talented 18 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: and that incredible just had his life cut so short 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: by this ininsidious disease. 20 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty one years old. We'll be talking about him 21 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: this morning. Also, Look, Trump has a point on this one. 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: I know, sometimes people think, okay, he's oh, he's too 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: much into his image and what he looks like sounds okay. 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: This is one. I think he's got a decent gripe 25 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,199 Speaker 2: about this picture. 26 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. 27 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: He's upset about the Time magazine cover photo of him. 28 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: And if you all haven't looked it up, please do so. 29 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: And we believe you will agree with Trump. You might 30 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: disagree with him on every other thing, but you will 31 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: agree with him on this. It's hard to argue that 32 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: that is a terrible, like almost a deliberately terrible photo. 33 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: It feels deliberate. 34 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: You know, there's a better photos. There is a better photo. 35 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: All right, we'll get into that a little bit this morning. Also, 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: just about everybody right roades handed their press credentials at 37 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: the Pentagon yesterday on a story that continues. And look, 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: the news organizations on this one got together and rejected 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: the Pentagon. 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: That is the silver lining in this otherwise very dark 41 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: and dire story. But I did appreciate the fact that 42 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: despite being a conservative leaning organization or a liberal leaning organization, 43 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: everyone actually came together and there was a joint statement 44 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: among broadcasting press members, which I thought was fairly remarkable. 45 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: That lets you know how remarkable this moment is. We 46 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: will get into that. And also, as always on that 47 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: Apple podcast app top right corner of your screen where 48 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: it says follow, click that button subscribe and we can 49 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: make sure you're you always get the updates from us 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: and you don't have to go looking for him. Do 51 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: you want to let you know? Also on the run 52 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: this morning, we'll be talking about what we saw at 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: the White House yesterday with that Metal of Freedom ceremony. 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: Also the update on the shutdown. It will be a 55 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: very short update. Also, some frustration as the ceasefire is 56 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: now being called tenuous. Also, the President has threatened the 57 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: city of Boston gonna take something away from Boston, possibly 58 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: that he has no power to do. Also, Alex Jones 59 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: is pissed at the Supreme Court and he's still on 60 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: the hook for what one point four billion dollars. Tom 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: is going PG thirteen and two executions in the United 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: States last night, another one set for today, another one 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: set on Friday. We'll tell you what's going on. 64 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: All right, But we do begin our run overseas on 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: this Wednesday morning, and the much celebrated ceasefire in the 66 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: Middle East is now being described as fragile, as frustration 67 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: and frankly even anger is growing now at the pace 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: at which HAMAS is returning the remains of hostages. As 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: part of the ceasefire deal, Hamas was to return all 70 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: living hostages, which they did, but also the remains of 71 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: the twenty eight deceased hostages. 72 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of celebration, a lot of hope because 73 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: those twenty living hostages came out right on time, reunited 74 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: with their families. The remains of four were initially released 75 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: earlier this week, followed yesterday by the release of the 76 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: remains of four more hostages. However, now CNN and other 77 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: news outlets are reporting that one set of remains was 78 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: not that of an Israeli. President Trump has chimed in 79 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: as well. He said we are on phase two of 80 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: the peace plan. But he issued this warning for Hamas. 81 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: If they don't disarm, we will disarm them. It'll happen 82 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: quickly and perhaps violently. It's the good thing to remember here, Robes. Yes, 83 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: the living hostages, but families want the remains of their 84 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: loved ones as well, which is just as big of 85 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: a deal to those families. So it's not like we 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: can just dismiss well that just the remains. We'll get 87 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: to that later. No, no, no, this is a very very 88 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: important part, and this is now threatening a ceasefire that 89 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: we were all celebrating just a couple days. 90 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a huge part of most religion's faith to 91 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: be able to honor and bury those who have died. 92 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: And so this is, yes, a huge point of issue, 93 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: and we certainly hope it gets resolved quickly. All right, 94 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, we are heading to the Pentagon, 95 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: and the deadline has come and gone, and so is 96 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: every major media outlet. Fox News joined ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, 97 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: along with just about every print media outlet in ref 98 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: fusing to sign the Defense Department's new press policy, which 99 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: basically requires reporters to get DoD approval before releasing any 100 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: even non classified information. 101 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: Yeah News organization's police put out a joint statement yesterday 102 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 2: saying today we join virtually every other news organization in 103 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 2: declining to agree to the Pentagon's new requirements, which would 104 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: wish restrict journalist's ability to keep the nation and the 105 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 2: world informed of important national security issues. The policy is 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: without precedent and threatens core journalistic protection. Now, as of 107 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 2: Tuesday's five o'clock deadline, only one news organization had signed 108 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: on to the policy. One America News that is a 109 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: conservative and certainly more so MAGA friendly organization. 110 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: It's described as Yes, So they are the only ones, 111 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: as far as we can see, who have agreed to 112 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: this new policy. Fox's decision to join the other networks, 113 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: we should point out is notable considering the Trump friendly 114 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: views of many of its hosts, and especially considering the 115 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: man behind the new rules. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, as 116 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: you might remember, is a former Box News anchor, and 117 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: we want to read you something The Atlantic posted on 118 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: x that pretty much sums up the gravity of the situation. 119 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: Starting Wednesday, for the first time since the Pentagon opened 120 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: in nineteen forty three, there will be likely no major 121 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: news outlets accredited to cover the department, the one spending 122 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: nearly one trillion dollars of taxpayer money. 123 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: Look, but they're standing by the decision. Over there at 124 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: the Pentagon Press Association over there did asks for them 125 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: to reconsider the new rules, and Hegseth defended them alongside 126 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 2: President Trump, saying it's common sense stuff. Mister President. We're 127 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: trying to make sure national security is respected, and we're 128 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: proud of the policy. Given their staying, I can't imagine 129 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: this changing during his administration. I don't think they're going 130 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: to rethink it. 131 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: Chris, I agree with you, and it is unprecedented and 132 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: it is frightening. 133 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 3: All right. Next up on the. 134 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: Run, an update on the government shutdown. And as we 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: mentioned it the top, this is going to be short 136 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: and sweet because there's not a lot to say. Today 137 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: is now day fifteen of the shutdown. And oh, by 138 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: the way, the Senate voted yesterday on a funding bill 139 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: to reopen the government. 140 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: It was a close one, No, it wasn't. It's the 141 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: same damn bill They've been voted on what seven times before? 142 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: They've done it, so, as expected, it failed an eighth 143 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 2: time yesterday. No votes are scheduled for today. No sign 144 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: of this thing ending anytime soon. If it goes throughout 145 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: the end of the week at least robes, this will 146 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: be the third longest shutdown in history, and by mid 147 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: next week it will be the second longest government shut 148 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: down in US history. 149 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: Hmm. I wonder if we'll get there, all right? 150 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Charlie Kirk posthumously received the 151 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: president Medal of Freedom yesterday at a Rose Garden ceremony. 152 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: His wife, Erica Kirk, accepted. 153 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: On his behalf on what would have been his thirty 154 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: second birthday. 155 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: This was in the Rose Garden. Wasn't this the inaugural event? Yes, well, 156 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 2: the revamped Rose Guard. 157 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: The President tauted that as he began. 158 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: His speech, I have to say, looks nice. It does 159 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: look really look nice. 160 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: He knows a thing or two about architecture and building 161 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: things and making deals. 162 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: He wants to remind you. The Presidential Medal of Freedom 163 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: will remind you as the highest civilian honor award in 164 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: the US, and recognized his individuals for a lifetime of 165 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: achievement in public service, the arts and whatnot. Usually we 166 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: see a group of them. I think they're going to 167 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: do it later in November. But this was the first 168 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: one he's done, and he got his own moment. Charlie 169 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: Kirk did, I wrote, he wrote, you know, I do 170 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: some deep dives on this stuff, and I go too deep. 171 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: So for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, there have been 172 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 2: two people that have gotten it twice. One of them 173 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: was Colon Powell. 174 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 3: Didn't know that. 175 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: Got it from Bush and got it from Obama. I 176 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: by but two. That was really really impressive. I'm sorry 177 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: that stopped me in my tracks as I was doing 178 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: that research. Now. On the same day that Charlie Kirk 179 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: was being recognized, the White House also announced it had 180 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: revoked the visas of six foreigners for comments they made 181 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,599 Speaker 2: about Kirk's death. Their social media posts, according to the 182 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: White House, included content that was deemed to mock Charlie 183 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: Kirk's death. 184 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: So the administration said the six were from Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, 185 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: and South Africa, and the State Department said in a 186 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: statement that the President will defend our borders, our culture, 187 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who 188 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: take advantage of America's hospitality while celebrating the assassination of 189 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: our citizens will be removed. Didn't that stick out to 190 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: you that we are now defending our culture? 191 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 3: Wow? 192 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: We don't agree what it is. 193 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 3: Right, that's the problem there. 194 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the language is everything. And to say that 195 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: we're going to I don't know, man, we can't agree 196 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: on that. We'll continue here on the run. President Trump, well, 197 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: he threatened to have next year's scheduled World Cup games 198 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: removed from Boston. Now the city and in particular New 199 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: England Patriots Stadium there in Foxborough. It's going to be 200 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 2: used as one of several sites for the World Cup 201 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: next year, which is going to take place in the US, 202 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: Mexico and Canada and several cities. 203 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: Yes, everyone's so excited about this, right, we're oh so excited. 204 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: All right. Well, the President was asked yesterday about recent 205 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: classes in Boston between police and protesters and if that 206 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: could have any impact on the upcoming World Games there. 207 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: Trump responded with this, we could take them away. I 208 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: love the people of Boston, and I know the games 209 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: are sold out, but your mayor is not good. 210 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So can he do this? Will he do this? Well, 211 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: he was told he couldn't put National Guard troops on 212 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: the streets of DC and Memphis, and well they're there. 213 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 2: So he actually does not have the authority to do 214 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: this to change the locations of the games. FIFA has 215 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: contracts with the individual cities. The federal government has nothing 216 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: to do with this. However, the President did somewhat acknowledge 217 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: that and said, this is what he do. He just 218 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 2: called up the head of FIFA, a guy who likes 219 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: and respects, and tell him needed to move these games. 220 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: Said he wouldn't like it, but he do it. That 221 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: was the threat. I just called him and tell him 222 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: to do it, and I'm President Trump. He'll do it, Okay. 223 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: I mean at this point, I don't really feel comfortable 224 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: calling him on his bluff because I don't think it's 225 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: a bluff actually, all right. 226 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: Next up on the run. 227 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: Two executions were carried out in the United States last night, 228 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: the thirty sixth and thirty seventh in the country this 229 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: year so far. And we say so far because yes, 230 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: another one is scheduled for this evening. 231 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. Last night, though, a first was convicted double murderer 232 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 2: Samuel Smithers. He was pronounced dead around six point fifteen 233 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: in Florida after receiving a lethal injection. Florida continues its 234 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: record pace of executions this year. Smithers was the fourteenth 235 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: person executed in the state this year, the previous high 236 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 2: the record high for them in a year was eight before. 237 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: This, and about an hour after that, in Missouri, Lance 238 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Shockley was declared dead after also receiving a lethal injection. 239 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: Shockley had maintained his innocence to the very end and 240 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: was even asking the courts to allow new DNA testing 241 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: of evidence in his case. Shockley was convicted in the 242 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: two thousand and five murder of a Missouri state trooper. 243 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: We did get some details about his execution.

That's important to note. Wow, that 347 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: is a huge deal. First album was Brown Sugar in 348 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five, and it shot to a new level 349 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: of frenzy'd stardom with how does it Feel That video 350 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: you said, you know, the one where he's naked. 351 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: Folks went crazy. It was a simply shot. I can't 352 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: remember the director, but all it is is him standing there, muscular, 353 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 2: well lit, and the camera just goes around and up 354 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: and down his body and it teases right before it 355 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: gets deprivated. That is just he's just standing there the 356 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 2: whole time, and he was pissed. Later it became he 357 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 2: became a sex symbol, and he didn't want to be. 358 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: He was an artist. He didn't want to be up 359 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: there being sexy and being that thing. But it made 360 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 2: him a superstar. 361 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: I loved to the point where he didn't put out 362 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: a ton of albums because he could. After he won Grammys, 363 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: everyone I'm sure was clamoring for more music and he 364 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: wanted to do it his way. And wow, that tribute 365 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: from the family really got me. 366 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 3: Like that, Yeah, it was so. 367 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: Beautiful and yes, so we've been playing that music.

So 371 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 2: we talked to Jewel not long ago, right, And I 372 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 2: always say, whoever was playing the music when you were 373 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 2: in high school college? His first album came out the 374 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 2: year I graduated high school. 375 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, that has an impact. 376 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: Dangel is gonna be with me? Well, you want to 377 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: continue on this Wednesday morning run? Now PG thirteen not 378 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: just for the movies. Now, yes, we're usually talking about movies, 379 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 2: but now Instagram is using PG thirteen movie guidelines to 380 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: restrict what kids can see on the app. 381 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: I thought you had to be thirteen to be on 382 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: the app. 383 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 2: They have a teen setting, a teen account setting that 384 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 2: had particular restrictions. What they're doing now they say they're 385 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: adding another level to where we are basing what we're 386 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: doing on what they do for the movies and what 387 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 2: kind of content that a thirteen year old should be 388 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 2: exposed to. 389 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: Okay, Meta, the parent company of Instagram, announced this all 390 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: yesterday that it is implementing these new guidelines for those 391 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: teen accounts. TJ just described as part of the new 392 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: safety setting, Instagram will hide content or won't suggest content 393 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: with profanity or anything about drugs, sex, and alcohol. 394 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 3: I think that's great. That's the right moment. 395 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 2: Now the kids can still look the stuff up and 396 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 2: find it. But those fees that there's curated. 397 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 3: Content, yeah, will be suggested. That's great. 398 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: Now, did you not I didn't even know what PG thirty? 399 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: I had to be reminded with PG we don't watch 400 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: a lot of PG thirteen. 401 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 3: No, you actually avoid them at all costs. 402 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: But go ahead, what is PG thirteen? Yeah? 403 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: Ask yourselves. Do you know what it officially means? Is 404 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: parents strongly caution some material may be inappropriate for children 405 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: under thirteen. Your urge to be cautious. Some material may 406 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 2: be inappropriate for pre teenagers. That's what the Motion Picture 407 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: Association of America says. Final leg here, we usually don't 408 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 2: start a story like this, but Trump might have a point. 409 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: President Trump is publicly complaining about his Time magazine cover photo. 410 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: He does absolutely have a point. If you haven't seen 411 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: this yet, even as we're talking, you can google it 412 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 2: right quick Time magazine Trump photo on the cover, and 413 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 2: it is not look They're not trying to make him 414 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 2: look the best as they possibly can. That's not their job. 415 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: But there's a just objectively speaking, babe, there's a better 416 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: photo than this. 417 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: I think that some people are arguing that they did 418 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: their best to make him look as worse as he 419 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: possibly could while trying to say something flattering because they 420 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: had to. So the photo was taken from a low 421 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 1: angle and the sun creates a halo effect, but the 422 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: glare makes it look like Trump has little or no hair, 423 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: and everyone knows that Trump is obsessed with his hair, 424 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: so to put a photo out first and foremost that 425 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: basically makes it look like he doesn't have any hair. 426 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: But that's not even the worst part of it. The 427 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: center of the picture, where your eye goes directly to 428 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: focuses on his aging, loose neck, and that's been much 429 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: made fun of and ridiculed over the years. The headline 430 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: and the article are positive. Here's the headline underneath this 431 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: horrific photo. His triumph the leader is real needed and 432 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: how Gaza heels. 433 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't look it into it that way that 434 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 2: people are making the connection like you all had to 435 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: say something positive about him and you still found. 436 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 3: A way to make it negative. 437 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: To make it negative now. The President went on social media. 438 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: He complained, writing Time magazine wrote a relatively good story 439 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 2: about me, but the picture may be the worst of 440 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 2: all time. They disappeared my hair and then had something 441 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 2: floating on top of my head that looked like a 442 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 2: floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird. I 443 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 2: never liked taking pictures from underneath angles. 444 00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 3: Nobody does. 445 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: Everybody knows you don't. Nobody you don't do that. You 446 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: don't even take selfies that we don't. 447 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: I remember, like, actually, when I was pregnant, someone was 448 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: trying to take a photographer trying to take a video 449 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: of me walking down the stairs, and I was like, oh, 450 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: hell no from down below, that's not happening. 451 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 2: The President finished up by saying, this is a super 452 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 2: bad picture and deserves to be called out. What are 453 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 2: they doing? And why, sweetheart? We look. We get a 454 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 2: lot of news from Trump social media posts, and you 455 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: take some with a grain of salt. There is very 456 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: little in here I can take issue with in this 457 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 2: entire perce. 458 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: So the Late night Comics, as you might imagine, went 459 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: to town with this. California Governor Gavin Newsom also took 460 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: advantage of it. A lot of people have had some 461 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: fun with the picture, making fun of the picture itself 462 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: and the fact that Trump is so upset about it. 463 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 3: But this was really bizarre. 464 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: Russia, even wide in like the country of Russia, weighed 465 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: in on the photo, siding with Trump. It's Foreign Ministry 466 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: spokesperson said this only unhealthy people, people obsessed with malice 467 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: and hatred, Perhaps even freaks could have chosen such a photo. 468 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 2: I just they have a ton of pictures, They have 469 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: a ton of new pictures. If you lay out, here 470 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 2: are ten options, and you're telling me that was the 471 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: best one for some reason, I don't know. It just 472 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 2: that's tough. Just objectively, it's not you're not trying to 473 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: make him look good, but you shouldn't be trying to 474 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: make him look bad. 475 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 3: I have an issue with it. 476 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: If that was part of the motivation, which I think 477 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: a lot of people believe it was. 478 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 3: But if we don't want to walk like, why walk 479 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 3: into that? 480 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: Why why go there? You don't have to do that. 481 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: And actually, you can disagree with a lot of what 482 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: the president does. You can dislike him wholly as a 483 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: person and still acknowledge what happened in the Middle East 484 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: was progress, and you don't have to punish him for 485 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: it with a photo. It really did feel like a 486 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: way to get him, even though they had to praise him. 487 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: I just want to believe that they wouldn't do that. 488 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: I would like to argue, I want to believe that. 489 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: Time magazine would not do that. Is just very difficult. 490 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 2: And look, you're selling a product. Don't you want the 491 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 2: product and what's there to look as good as possible. 492 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 2: Magazine covers are supposed to beautiful and attract you to it. 493 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 2: I just don't I don't know, And maybe you're think 494 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: it too much of it. Maybe it's not that bad. 495 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. I just cannot imagine imagine this is 496 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 2: being the best option they had. 497 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 3: I agree with that. 498 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: All right, we are going to leave everyone with our 499 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: quote of the day. It's a little long, but I really, really, 500 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: really liked it. It's from William Arthur Ward. He is 501 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: a motivational He was a motivational speaker and author. The 502 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: adventure of life is to learn.
