Hello everyone, 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, October fifteenth. 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes. Thank you for 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: coming along with us on this Tuesday Morning Run. 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: And on today's run, Kamala Harris has a plan to 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: help black men. Marijuana and cryptocurrency are part of the agenda. 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: Also, at Trump Town, hall turns into a dance party 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: with the former president playing DJ. 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: And more lawsuits against Diddy and the allegations include molestation 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: of a teenage boy. 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: Also, the clock is ticking in Texas for a man 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: set to be executed this week, and legislators, doctors, lawyers, 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: even John Grisham are screaming he's innocent. 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: Plus, NASA is heading to the moon, but not our moon, 15 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: and seven eleven is closing hundreds of stores and changing 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: its focus. Hopefully the big gulp is safe. 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: What was the last time you had a big golp? 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: I don't know that I've ever had a big goal. 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 1: I don't know, but more than anyone should consume. Oh wow, 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: there's slurpees too. I think I have had a slurpee, 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: but it might date me back into high school. 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: All right, And man. We will get into that as 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: we finish up our run today, but we're going to 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: start out our run with a race, the race to 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: the White House. Just twenty one days before the election, 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: the latest polls show both candidates are in a deadlock, 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: and both are making headlines today for some very different reasons. 28 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to make clear she 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: loves black men, of course, though I'm talking about from 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: a policy standpoint, and she's now rolled out what she's 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: calling the Opportunity Agenda for Black Men. 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: You've likely seen recent rumblings about her less than overwhelming 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: support among black men. Well, Harris is now proposing a plan, 34 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: she says addresses the issues that black men across the 35 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: country have told her are their top concerns. 36 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: So that agenda includes a million forgivable loans to black 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: own entrepreneurs, legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for black 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: men to succeed in the marijuana industry, regulation of crypto 39 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: currency to protect black investors, and launching a national health 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: equity initiative focused on black men. 41 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: Harris has been doing more outreach to the minority voters 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: and in particular black voters. The latest New York Times 43 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: poll shows Black voters overwhelmingly support Harris over Trump. She 44 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: gets seventy eight percent of their support. The problem is 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: both Biden and Obama got more than ninety percent of 46 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: the Black vote when they won the White House. 47 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: Well, Harris is going to be in Detroit today for 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: a live town hall that'll be hosted by Charlemagne the God. 49 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: He of course the host of the Breakfast Club here 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: in New York, popular radio host, and he is he 51 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: knows his stuff and he had a very contentious back 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: and forth with her in twenty twenty one in an interview. 53 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: So to see them on stage again and for this 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: event again. It's going to be a radio event, but 55 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: very curious to see you. And she is Detroit, Pennsylvania. 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: She is very much this week. You will see her 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: in places where there's a focus on African American voter. 58 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: That's true. And right now, according to that same New 59 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: York Times poll, fifteen percent of Black voters say they 60 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: are voting for former President Donald Trump. And certainly with 61 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I believe that the margins are tied at forty eight 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: to forty eight, that fifteen percent is key, and we 63 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: are going to see Kamala Harris also take on a 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: very different interview. She's going to be interviewed by Brett 65 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Baer a Fox News that happens on Wednesday. 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: And that's going to be a first time she has 67 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: sat down with Fox News. That's going to be fun 68 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: to watch. But you will see her and Trump for 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: the most part. But let's talk Harris here. Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia. 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: That's it. Those are the places that matter, those the 71 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: only places pretty much. I think she is going to 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: be this. 73 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: Week and perhaps for the next three weeks. 74 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: Well. Next up on our run here we'll continue with 75 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: the race for the White House with DJ Donald Trump. 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: There was an interesting scene, I guess at a Trump 77 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: town hall last night in Pennsylvania. The town hall turned 78 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: into an impromptu dance party. 79 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: I think this was a first. I have never seen 80 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: this before in my life. The former president's event actually 81 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: had to be stopped twice because of two separate medical 82 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: emergencies in the audience. People were fainting. One person even 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: taken away in a stretcher. Apparently it was very hot 84 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: in that room. They wouldn't open the doors. 85 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Trump even made that suggestion, Hey, let's open 86 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: the doors, let's let some er in. The Secret Services 87 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: response to that request, yeah, we'll get right on that. Obviously, 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: they ain't messing around at all. It was a safety 89 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: issue in terms of protecting the president, but not necessarily 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: protecting the people in the hall from the hot conditions. 91 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: But they did not want to open the doors because 92 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 2: of security. 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: That makes perfect sense, but it was getting uncomfortable. After 94 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: the second medical emergency, Trump actually decided to stop taking 95 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: questions and instead ed started making requests for music. He 96 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: actually told the crowd, and we're going to quote him here, 97 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: let's not do any more questions, let's just listen to music. 98 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: And that's what they did for the next forty minutes 99 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: or so, with Trump making requests and then bobbing on 100 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: stage to the music. 101 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: So what else was on his playlist that he requested? 102 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: I like this one, Nothing Compares to You by Sinad O'Connor. 103 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 2: I didn't know this one. November Rain by guns n' Roses, 104 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: one of when you said you didn't know that one 105 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: that I know, I wouldn't know that one. 106 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love guns n' Roses and I'm gonna have 107 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: to go check out November rain because it's not ringing 108 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: a bell right now. 109 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: Also a good one on the playlist, Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright. 110 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a bad playlist by former Resident Trump. 111 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, everyone was okay, but I'm sorry if I didn't. 112 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I did chuckle a little bit when I 113 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: read that when both folks were taken out, or at 114 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: least one was taken out of the stretcher, he asked 115 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: them to play Ave Maria. Yeah. I don't know why 116 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: that struck me or tickled me as funny, but he 117 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: had some varying musical tastes and they were all on 118 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: full display last night again for forty minutes for folks. 119 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: It tickled me. When the second person was taken out, 120 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: he actually said to the crowd, anybody else want to faint? 121 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: That's okay. Maybe seems inappropriate at the time, but it 122 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: seems like people were because those two went down thirty 123 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: minutes into the event, but they were kind of back 124 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: to back almost that those two people did have to 125 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: seek get some medical attention. 126 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: Now, some people in the crowd said the room was 127 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: full of joy. It lightened the mood. It was exactly 128 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: what they needed. So it seems that the people in 129 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: the crowd enjoyed the shift in focus from questions to music. 130 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: All right, next up on our run. In just two days, 131 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: a Texas man could become the first person executed in 132 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: this country after he was convicted of murdering his child 133 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: by shaking bab syndrome. Fifty seven year old Robert Robertson, 134 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: who has maintained his innocence from the beginning, has spent 135 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: more than twenty years behind bars. He's now scheduled to 136 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: be executed this week on Thursday, for the murder of 137 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: his two year old daughter, Niki. 138 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: So you have his lawyers, a bar partisan group of 139 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: Texas lawmakers, you have medical experts, you even have feigned 140 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: author John Grisham. They've all come out and argued that 141 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: the science used to convict him is false. They say 142 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: there's new evidence that shows the two year old Nikki 143 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: actually die from complications related to pneumonia. 144 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,559 Speaker 1: Now, Robertson's attorneys say that evidence shows that Nicky died 145 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: from undiagnosed pneumonia that resulted in sepsis, and they say 146 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: all of those conditions were made worse by the type 147 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: of medication she was prescribed that made it harder for 148 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: her to breathe. Robertson took his daughter to the hospital 149 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: after he says she fell out of bed after she 150 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: is seriously ill for more than a week. 151 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: Okay, this is where things at the hospital really went 152 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: wrong and landed him really at this point on death row. 153 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: So the scans show that his daughter, Nikki had subdural bleeding, 154 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: brain swelling, retinal hemorrhages, and those conditions have been used 155 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: to infer abuse in shaken baby cases. Therefore, people have 156 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: been prosecuted based on that evidence. However, relying on those 157 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: signs alone is no longer accepted as proof of abuse. 158 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: That's right. Over the past couple of years, courts around 159 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: this country have overturned similar convictions or drop charges altogether 160 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: on shaken baby syndrome based on this new science. Today, 161 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: there will be a hearing in what maybe Robertson's final 162 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: legal maneuver. His lawyers are seeking to have his death 163 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,119 Speaker 1: warrant thrown out, arguing that a judge's rulings on challenges 164 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: to his execution should bias against him. 165 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: The top criminal court there has already ruled against his appeals. 166 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: US Supreme Court would not hear the case. Governor Greg 167 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 2: Abbott could stop the execution, of course, but has only 168 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: done so intervened once, and I was back in twenty eighteen. 169 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: He is a strong supporter of the death penalty of 170 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: not a lot of people holding out hope there, but 171 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: some hope. Nonetheless, this is just another case. We saw 172 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: a string of executions in this country, and so many 173 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: in the past couple of weeks, so many people arguing 174 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: that no, there's evidence that those folks should not be executed. 175 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: And it's interesting. We're talking about the state of Texas 176 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: and this Republican controlled Congress. So many lawmakers, many Republicans included, 177 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: are fighting for him to be not just not executed, 178 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: but released but exonerated. Here's an interesting detail. One of 179 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: the arresting police officers of Robertson is now campaigning for 180 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: his release because he was his testimony that the prosecution 181 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: relied heavily on where he said there was an apparent 182 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: lack of emotion when they talked to mister Robertson after 183 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: his daughter's death. Well, it has now been revealed that 184 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: mister Robertson is autistic, so now they're arguing that that 185 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,239 Speaker 1: was not a lack of grief, but just his autism 186 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: where he now responds differently than most people. He wasn't 187 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: responding as a distraught father, but he wasn't also responding 188 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: as someone guilty of something. So now that police officer 189 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: is actively campaigning for his release. But this is just 190 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: a tough situation. We'll see what happens in the hearing today. 191 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: We will follow it and we'll let you know what happens. 192 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 2: All right, We'll stay with us here, we will continue 193 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: our run in just a moment. Did He More lawsuits 194 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: against him, and the allegations even more shocking if you 195 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: can believe that. 196 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone on the next leg of our run. 197 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: The lawsuits against did He keep coming, and the allegations 198 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: this time include molestation of a six teen year old boy. 199 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: Six more lawsuits were filed Monday by four men and 200 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: two women, all filed anonymously as Jane Doe's and John 201 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: does Now. 202 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: In these new lawsuits, Combs is accused of raping the 203 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 2: female accusers and sexually assaulting the male accusers. Some of 204 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: the details are so explicit that we would actually rather 205 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: not share all of it here, but we will tell 206 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: you a then sixteen year old male alleged that Combs 207 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: fondled him with the promise of helping him get into 208 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: the music industry. This was a strange one in which 209 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: he was just instructed, according to the allegation, to just 210 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: drop his pants by Diddy as they were simply having 211 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: a conversation. 212 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, these allegations are really hard to read. And the 213 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: latest string of lawsuits, well, they are all part of 214 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: the more than one hundred twenty alleged accusers lawyers say 215 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: have now come forward and are prepared to file suit. 216 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: Diddy has been in jail in Brooklyn since his arrest 217 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: nearly a month ago. He has had bailed in twice already. 218 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: He has a third request pending. But the lawsuits just 219 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: keep on coming, and the descriptions of what they claim 220 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: happened to them are all equally appalling. 221 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: All right, we want to continue our run here on 222 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: this Tuesday morning, and we're gonna find out does life 223 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: exist or can it exist anywhere else in our solar system? 224 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: And we are gonna get that answer very soon. Okay, 225 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: maybe not that soon, but NASA did launch a mission 226 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: just yesterday to get us these answers. 227 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe like in a decade, TJ. I think that's 228 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: what I calculated. NASA launched Europa Clipper. This is the 229 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: biggest interplanetary spacecraft ever built by the agency. Pretty cool. 230 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: Europa blasted off from the Kennedy Space Senator yesterday afternoon. 231 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: It's now headed to a moon of Jupiter named Europa, 232 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: thus the name of the spacecraft. 233 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: So the moon has water that is beneath a sheet 234 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 2: of ice that scientists believe is more than ten miles thick. 235 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: Can you imagine that now ten mile thick piece of ice, 236 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 2: But in that water that's underneath, scientists think that the 237 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: conditions could be right for life. That sounds super cool. 238 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 2: This all also sounds super expensive. 239 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: That's right, and it is the mission hefty price tag 240 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: here five point two billion dollars and it's the first 241 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: of it's kind to see if there is life outside 242 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: of Earth. So yes, it comes with a price and 243 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: a very long wait. This is crazy when you hear 244 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: the details of this and the specificity of when things 245 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: are going to be happening. So a SpaceX Falcon heavy 246 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: rocket took this spacecraft from Earth into orbit around the Sun. 247 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: That all started yesterday. Now next February it will fly 248 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: by Mars and then that will give it the gravitational 249 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: boost it needs to swing back around Earth in December 250 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six for another boost towards Jupiter. 251 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 2: Did y'all get that. I'm looking at it as she's 252 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: reading it, and I still don't understand. 253 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: It's like a big old slingshot. 254 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: The Europa Clipper is going to travel now for five 255 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: and a half years, one point eight billion miles, enter 256 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: orbit around Jupiter somewhere on April eleventh, twenty thirty. They 257 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 2: have a specific date. 258 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: It's exact. That's crazy, but they know. 259 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: We're not going to keep up. Even if they miss 260 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: it by a week or two. We're not going to say, ah, 261 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: you total is the eleventh. 262 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: But the fact they know that it is going to 263 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: enter orbit on April eleventh, twenty thirty is mind blowing 264 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: to me. 265 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: It's kind of like a doctor predicting when the date 266 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: of the birth is going to be. You do not 267 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: really know, it's just a guess. 268 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: I completely disagree. 269 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: We're estimating. Okay, then it's going to make forty nine 270 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: flybys of Europa the moon of Jupiter for the next 271 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: four years. 272 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said, it's going to be about ten 273 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: years before we'll hear, but no, there are going to 274 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: be cameras and data coming back to us throughout that 275 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: period of time. And by the way, Europa is the 276 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: first world where scientists have found evidence of an unseen 277 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: ocean world that's what they're calling it beneath all that ice, 278 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: and they think it could have twice as much water 279 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: as all of Earth's oceans combined. And here's the amazing part. 280 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: This mission has been in the works for nearly thirty years. 281 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: Scientists began planning this back in nineteen ninety five. 282 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: So these guys are super duper smart. Just to hear 283 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: what they are capable of doing, it's amazing. We'll see 284 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: if this paid. I really hope it does. That type 285 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: of investment financially in time, I really want to see this. 286 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: This could be the one that gives us the answer 287 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: there is life somewhere else that is really what they're 288 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: hoping for. This is special, pretty cool. This is special. 289 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: On our final leg of the run, this is unfortunate 290 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: to hear that they're going to be fewer seven eleven 291 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: stores in North America, but not to worry. They still 292 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: got thirteen thousand that are going to be left, but 293 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: the remaining stores will have a new focus fresh food 294 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: and better service. 295 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the world's biggest convenience chain announced it will close 296 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: four hundred and forty four stores across the United States 297 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: and Canada in order to I'm going to quote them here, optimize, 298 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: optimize a number of non core acids that do not 299 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: fit into our growth strategy. The Japanese owned company says inflation, 300 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: a decrease in foot traffic, and a massive decline in 301 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: cigarettes have all contributed to the decision. 302 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: If food took over cigarettes recently as the largest purchase 303 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: category at seven eleven, So the company says it's going 304 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 2: to make a pivot. It's preparing to provide its customers 305 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: with high quality food and service. 306 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: So they're going to create a wider assortment of hot 307 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: food and specialty beverages, including baked in store items. This 308 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: is new self serve roller grills, grab and go cases. 309 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: I love this espresso, cappuccino, iced coffee, and lattes. So 310 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: it kind of looks like they're pivoting from one addiction, 311 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: tobacco to our other, which is caffeine and baked goods. 312 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: By the way, a twenty six percent decline in cigarette 313 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: sales since twenty nineteen. That's that is good new. We 314 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: should applaud that, yes, for the health of our country, 315 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: but certainly it takes a financial toll on those who 316 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: sell those tobacco products. 317 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: And takes a toll on us. We're going to take 318 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 2: away the tobacco, but we're going to give you more 319 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: self serve roller grills? Are those the things where the 320 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: hot dogs are just rotating. 321 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: That's what I was envisioning when they when they said that, yes. 322 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: Don't they already have that. 323 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be higher quality hot dogs. 324 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: Hey do you think? But they do have to close 325 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: four hundred stores. A lot of people are going to 326 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 2: be out of those jobs. That's unfortunate. But if we 327 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: can get some healthier choices, some better choices, and better service, 328 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: they are they say they're want to focus on that. 329 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: All has to be a good thing. But on this Tuesday, 330 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: I was as we wrap up our run, we want 331 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: you to go about your day and we want you 332 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 2: to consider this. 333 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: Quitting while you're a head is not the same as quitting. 334 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: I don't know the origin of that quote, but I've 335 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: always loved it. We always think that don't want to quit, 336 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: don't want to quit, don't want to quit. It's not 337 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: the same. Sometimes you get out when you should and 338 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 2: when you know it's the right thing to do.
