1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hello everyone,

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday, October sixteenth. I'm Amy Roboch.

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Holmes.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for coming along for this Wednesday Morning Run

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: with us.

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: And on today's run, Wow, Georgia folks showed up in

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: record numbers on the first day of early voting.

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: Also, there will be a major push today to get

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: the Menendez brothers out of prison.

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: Plus one hundred and twenty eight Jewish passengers booted off

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: a German airline. That airline is now paying a record fine.

13
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: Also, the Pentagon has now righted hundreds of wrongs under

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 2: the previous Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: And Apple announces a long awaited and big update to

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: the iPad Mini Plus. The Super Bowl is returning to

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: hot Atlanta.

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: And a new Trump tower has shown up in a

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: small town in Massachusetts and town officials are struggling to

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: get rid of it. We'll explain.

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: We begin our run this morning in Georgia. Ready set vote.

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Georgians wasted no time being heard in this year's election,

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: and on the first day of early voting in the state, Wow,

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: they set a turnout record.

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: With more than three hundred thousand people showing up yesterday

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: to cast their ballots. They're expecting that number to actually

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: go up when they update some of their numbers, but

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: that three hundred thousand number has already shattered the previous

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: first day record of one hundred and thirty six thousand.

30
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: Of course, Georgia is a critical state. Sixteen electoral votes

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: are up for grabs, and this is where Biden won

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: by mere thousands of votes in twenty twenty.

33
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: It is also where there are a number of lawsuits

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: making their way through the courts over new election rules.

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: Some will tell you those rules that are trying to

36
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: get past will benefit Trump. In one important ruling this week,

37
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: a judge ordered that county election officials cannot delay, they

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: cannot refuse to certify election results based on their discretion.

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: And also, just yesterday, in another major decision, a judge

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: blocked a new rule that, get this would have required

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: counties to count ballots by hand on election day. As

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: you can imagine, that was freaking folks out, because that

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: would obviously cause all kinds of delays and even chaos

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: on election day. The early voting there will continue in

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 2: Georgia for the next two weeks. Today will be day

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: two of it, so more big turnout expected. But both

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: Harris and Trump, if you want to know how important

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: this state is, they have events scheduled in and around

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: Atlanta this weekend, right in the middle of all that voting.

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, reading through that story, attorneys who wanted that handcount

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: said that it should just take minutes. The judge just

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: agreed and said it could take days, which is probably

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: the more likely of the two. Next up on our run.

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: At this point, we're all used to seeing political ads

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: and inundating our televisions, political signs littering our neighborhood streets,

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: even billboards lining our highways. But what about a political

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: sign on your city's water tower?

58
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, roj you said this is your favorite story of

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: the day. Maybe, but we're talking about one man in Hanson, Massachusetts.

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: He's found a way to put a political sign on

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: the city's water tower. How is he doing this. He

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: is projecting a large Trump twenty twenty twenty four excuse me,

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: a Trump twenty twenty four sign onto the sign of

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: the side of the town's municipal water tower. He's doing

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: it from his property. If you get what we're talking about, here.

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: He essentially just has some kind of filter on a

67
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: light that is able to project this sign up onto

68
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: this water tower, and so far the town has been

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: unable to stop him from doing it.

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: That's right. They've sent him a cease and desist letter.

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: They've slapped him with a one hundred dollars a day

72
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: fine that I believe began last Saturday, So he's up

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: to four five hundred dollars now. The Highway Department has

74
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: even positioned a spotlight to shine on the tower to

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: try and make the projection harder to see it night.

76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: So they're trying to outshine his projection and it's not working.

77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: I believe that's the funniest part of the story to me.

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: They can't stop it, so they're trying to drown him out.

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: The town administrators say they do not endorse candidates, they

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: do not allow political signs to be displayed on municipal property.

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: That kind of makes sense, So they continue to try

82
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: and drown out the sign each night because nothing else

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: is working.

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so officials say the fines the town is charging

85
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: this resident won't even cover the costs that are being

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: incurred by the town trying to stop him. They have

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: to pay highway department workers to turn on and off

88
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: the spotlight each night. I think they're up to three

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: spotlights now because they borrowed spotlights from other nearby towns.

90
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: So maybe now even more employees have to do that.

91
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: And yes, they are considering even stronger lighting because it's

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: still not doing the job.

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: They're paying attorneys as well, so this is starting to

94
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: add up as you can hear, to try to do

95
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: more legal action, possibly to get this to stop. An

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: update from the town is expected at some point later today.

97
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Don't know what that could possibly be, but no matter

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: what robes, they only got twenty more days with this

99
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: any can they tolerate it for the next twenty days

100
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: because the election is around the corner.

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: Interesting though, the town has chosen not to name who

102
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: this property owner is, probably trying to work out a

103
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: deal with him in some way and not outing him

104
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: as of yet. But we'll see what this new update

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: is later today. I just I gotta chuck a out

106
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: of the fact that they cannot make this man stop

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: projecting something from his property onto town property.

108
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: All right.

109
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: Our run continues now in California. This afternoon, nearly two

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: dozen family members of Eric and Lylemanendez will hold a

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: news conference outside inn LA Courthouse. They're urging the LA

112
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: District Attorney to act on new evidence that has surfaced

113
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: in the Menendez brother's case. They will be joined by

114
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: the brother's attorney, Mark Garrigos, as well as Rosie O'Donnell,

115
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: who has been advocating for their release.

116
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people know this story well. Eric and

117
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: Lylemanndez serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for

118
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: killing their parents. This is nearly three decades ago, so

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: they've been in prison all this time, But now LA's

120
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: District Attorney is considering whether or not the two should

121
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: either be re sentenced or even released. Now, this has

122
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: never been a question of whether or not they killed

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: their parents. Yes, they did. The issue has always been

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: the motive and the why they killed their parents.

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: So part of this new evidence in the case is

126
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: a letter reportedly written by Eric Menendez to his cousin Andy,

127
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: and he wrote the letter eight months before the murders,

128
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: and in the letter it certainly appears to support the

129
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: brother's long time contention and their defense of self defense

130
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: that they killed their parents after years of physical, emotional

131
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: and Yes, sexual abuse.

132
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: Now, in part of that letter, Eric writes, and I'm

133
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: quoting here, I've been trying to avoid Dad. It's still happening, Andy,

134
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: but it's worse for me now. I never know when

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: it's going to happen, and it's driving me crazy. Every

136
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: night I stay up thinking he might come in. That's

137
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 2: the quote. Now. The other new evidence or allegations servicing

138
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: that their father, Jose had sexually assaulted a former underage

139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: member of the nineteen eighties, banned Manudo now.

140
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: According to the brother's attorney, Mark Arragos, the Menendez family

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: has long believed that the two should have been convicted

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: of manslaughter rather than murder, but prosecutors at the time

143
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: of their trials maintained there was no evidence of molestation.

144
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: They insisted that the sons were after their parents' multimillion

145
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: dollar estate. The district attorney in this case has until

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: November twenty sixth to make a decision on whether or

147
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: not to re sentence the brothers or again yes to

148
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: release them, and Garrigos has said the dream the wish

149
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: here is that the two would be home in time

150
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: to celebrate their aunt's ninety third birthday this Thanksgiving Thanksgiving

151
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: is two days after November twenty sixth this year.

152
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: That's a dream if they've been in prison. And what

153
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: we're talking about here is the bottom line with that

154
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: jury have done something different with the sentence, have been

155
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: something different if they were allowed to consider that these

156
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: two boys acted the way they did because of years

157
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: of abuse. We know more about abuse and the impact

158
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: it has on kids now, so a lot has changed

159
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: to think that garretgos thinks they could actually be out

160
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: by Thanksgiving. We're talking a month from now.

161
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: That's incredible, and you know, to what you just said.

162
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: The district attorney in this case has publicly said that

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the perception of abuse has changed and the acknowledgment of

164
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: it and what it does to people has now evolved

165
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: since this trial took place, and so he's carefully considering

166
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: all of those factors as he makes his decision.

167
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: Of course, we'll keep you updated on that and stay

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: with us here. We're going to continue our morning run.

169
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: In just a moment. Coming up, a German airline kicks

170
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: off a one hundred plus Jewish passengers. Oh yeah, you bet.

171
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: There's some fallout after this one. All right, welcome back

172
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: to your Wednesday Morning Run, Continue Run and the not

173
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: so Friendly Skies and not so Friendly Airline. A German

174
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: airline discriminated against more than one hundred Jewish passengers and

175
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: will now have to pay a record fine for it.

176
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: Not just any airline, Lathansa the largest airline in Germany.

177
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Yes, it has been hit now with a four million

178
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: dollar fine after a twenty twenty two incident where one

179
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight Jewish passengers were not allowed to

180
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: board their flight. They had flown in from New York

181
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: to Frankfurt in order to connect on their way to Budapest,

182
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: but after getting to Frankfort, they were not allowed to

183
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: continue on with their trip and board their next flight

184
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: because according to the airlines, some of the passengers, I

185
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: think it was reported about sixty of them, had been

186
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: disruptive on the first leg of the trip. They were

187
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: in the aisles blocking the flight attendants, according to airline officials,

188
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: from doing their job. They wouldn't put their masks on

189
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: according to the flight attendant. So there were several incidents

190
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: of multiple people disobeying flight instructions.

191
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: And these passengers were talking about according to the Department

192
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: of Transportation, all wore distinctive garb typically seen on Orthodox

193
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 2: Jewish Men now luthanza. The airline called the incident unfortunate,

194
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: but only acknowledged what it calls errors in company procedure,

195
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: but deny discriminating against the passengers.

196
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: The one hundred and twenty eight passengers were all headed

197
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: to an annual memorial event for a rabbi in Budapest. However,

198
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: here's the big distinction. So they named dozens of folks

199
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: who weren't behaving well. But none of these people knew

200
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: each other. They were not traveling together. This was not

201
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: a group. These were separate individuals. The DOT says, this

202
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: is the largest fine the agency has ever given for

203
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: civil rights violation.

204
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: That's the point they got me when I hear one

205
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight people got kicked out. Oh, it

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: was a big group traveling together. None of you all

207
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: can go. They didn't know each other, so they almost

208
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: discriminated against them individually, and that many was it? Incredible thought?

209
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Yes, and they are paying the price for it, but

210
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: certainly the publicity behind this is going to be probably

211
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: the most painful part of it.

212
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: Well, next up on our run here, hundreds of US

213
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: military personnel are getting honorable discharges after they were previously

214
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: kicked out of the military under the don't ask, don't

215
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: Tell policy. The Pentagon made announcement yesterday that they are

216
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: upgrading the discharges of some eight hundred military veterans to honorable.

217
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: The don't Ask, Don't Tell policy was in place from

218
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four all the way to twenty eleven, and

219
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: it was put in place by President Clinton. It was

220
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: repealed by President Obama. After the policy was ended. Those

221
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: who had been discharged under the Don't Ask, Don't tell

222
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: had the option to appeal, but it's possible many of

223
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: them didn't even know that they had the option to appeal.

224
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: So the Pentagon made the move to do this proactively.

225
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: They did the reviews for them and now has upgraded

226
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: those records. Now, this is not just one obviously, it's

227
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 2: a wonderful moral victory and righted or wrong, and it

228
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: should never have been dishonorably discharged. But this has practical

229
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: implications here because those who were denied an honorable discharge

230
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: were denied full military benefits. So with this change now

231
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: many more will have access to those benefits, and that

232
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: is a good thing.

233
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: It is a good writing and wrong is always a

234
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: good thing, and even if it comes a little later

235
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: than it should have, I'm certain that those folks are

236
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: going to be very happy today. It is a moral victory.

237
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: And then some we have to remember it was it

238
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: was a crime in the military to engage in sects

239
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: with someone of the same sex. You could be taken

240
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: to a court martial for this. That was updated by Clinton,

241
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: and then of course Obama updated it. But this is

242
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: another chapter in that whole period of the military that

243
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: maybe is behind us now.

244
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Yes, hopefully a much better chapter next up on our run.

245
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: It is always fun when Apple launches something new, and

246
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: yesterday the company announced a new generation of the iPad.

247
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: Many of the Apple's smallest iPad have been waiting three

248
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: years for an update of any kind. So what's the

249
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: big deal. What's new with this generation seven iPad Mini?

250
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. It has a faster processor. Sounds great.

251
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: It's also going to have AI capabilities, which is a

252
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: big deal and everybody's rushing to upgrade all of their

253
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: products now to make sure they are AI capable. Also

254
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: has a faster charger, and it's compatible with the Apple pencil.

255
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: That's all good stuff. Display, though, is the same resolution,

256
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 2: and it's the same size eight point three inchest. I

257
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: believe you can pre order it now and it'll be

258
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: in stores next week. Oh yeah, we should probably mention

259
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: everybody's wondering. Okay, you get to the point, how much

260
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 2: is this thing costs? It starts at four ninety nine.

261
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: That always gives me start starting.

262
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: At the one I want is always like you know,

263
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: double that exactly, Like, oh you want storage space, Oh

264
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: you want a faster processor. Oh that's going to cost you.

265
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: Oh you want it to charge. But they're arranging four

266
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: ninety nine, five ninety nine, and seven ninety nine for

267
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: the Whoopie Doo version.

268
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: You know what got me? You said this one, this

269
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: new edition is going to have AI capabilities, And I

270
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: have to tell you recently, I've been kind of freaked out.

271
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else feels the same way

272
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: about this AI stuff, because I'll go into text something

273
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: to someone and it will say, would you like try

274
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: the AI generator to come up with the text for you?

275
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: Why that is so freaky?

276
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: Now?

277
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking when I receive messages or receive emails, the

278
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: person who I'm receiving it from didn't even actually write it.

279
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: But that's where we're headed, and it's coming in all devices, shape, sizes, forms, prices.

280
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: You don't even have to think or write anything on

281
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: your own these days.

282
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: You haven't been able to tell My messages have all

283
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: been generated by AI to you for the past two weeks.

284
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: You didn't even know it.

285
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Wow, you seemed a little robotic. Makes sense now, all right,

286
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: on the final leg of our run. Welcome to Atlanta.

287
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: I feel like you should say this.

288
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm so glad it was your read, but I'll take it.

289
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to Atlanta. With a player's play and twenty they

290
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: will be playing once again at Mercedes Benz Stadium for

291
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl sixty two.

292
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sold it in a way I just couldn't have,

293
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: all right. The NFL made that announcement yesterday that Atlanta

294
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: was being awarded the Super Bowl for the fourth time.

295
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: The last time was back in twenty nineteen, which was

296
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: also at Mercedes Ben's Stadium, a stadium that I have

297
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: seen excitement and heartbreak in a couple of times.

298
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but before the last one in twenty nineteen, a

299
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: Mercedes been Stadium, Atlanta hosted the Super Bowl in ninety four,

300
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: and also at two thousand that was at the old

301
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: Georgie Dome.

302
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's certainly exciting, and we would like to leave

303
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: you on this Tuesday run with a little bit of wisdom,

304
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: as we've been doing each and every day. I love

305
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: this quote, and I have to tell you. I pulled

306
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: up this quote and when I googled it to see

307
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: who wrote it, your name popped up TJ. Because apparently

308
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: you put this quote on X on Twitter nine years ago.

309
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: You want to read it?

310
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is amazing you put it nine years ago.

311
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: Came up on the Google search with your name saying

312
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: you had posted this nine years ago on then Twitter.

313
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: And that quote is you were born looking like your parents,

314
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: but you die looking like your decisions. I got that

315
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: quote from my pastor, Bishop Dale Browner in Atlanta. I

316
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: used to listen to his sermons via live stream, and

317
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: then I would live tweet a lot of the best quotes,

318
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: and that was one of them. But that always stood out.

319
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: Born looking like your parents, you die looking like your decisions.

320
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you kind of live looking like your

321
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: decisions too. Like right now, I don't look so bad.

322
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm pretty tired. I've chosen not to sleep as much,

323
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: and so I'm living like my decisions, or at least

324
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: I look like my decisions right now.

325
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh, you've made some beautiful decisions late opinion. That's all

326
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: we got for you on this Wednesday morning run. We

327
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,560
