Robock. We've talked about him in the past, 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: just hasn't been a public guy. But people almost like, wait, 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: she was married, because they just weren't always together in public, 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 2: very very. 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: Private, to the point where some people thought she made 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: him up. They didn't actually believe he existed. But I 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: did a Google search this morning and actually was enjoying 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: finding the few rare photos of him that have been 24 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: sprinkled throughout the years, but they are definitely few and 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: far between. 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: Sixty years. What an incredible, credible love story. We we'll 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: get into that this morning, but we're going to start 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: on this Tuesday morning in Washington, DC, President Trump will 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: address a joint session of Congress tonight. Now, traditionally these 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: have been boring. Traditionally you could predict how these things 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: are going to go, even what the presidents are going 32 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: to say. But frankly, who the hell knows how this 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: is going to go tonight? 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Only President Trump, that would be my guest. Democrats are 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: discussing protest options right now. They're talking about potentially walking out. 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: Some Democrats are skipping all together. Reportedly, they've been discussing props, 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: like bringing props with them, like empty egg cartons, noisemakers, etc. 38 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this could be political theater, truly. Democrats are 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: expected to bring guests tonight who have been impacted by 40 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: Trump's policies, negatively impacted, we should point out. I Meanwhile, 41 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: President Trump is expected to take the opportunity tonight to 42 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: tout all of his agenda, his accomplishments from the first 43 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: month and a half of his new term, and they 44 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: are plentiful. 45 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: That's a lot to squeeze in. He has been known 46 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: for having really, really long speeches. In fact, he's set 47 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: some records in some of his speeches during the campaign. 48 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: So this could be a long one tonight. And yes, 49 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: know what you're thinking. Elon will be there. He's expected 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: to be in the building tonight. Of course, this speech 51 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: is scheduled for nine o'clock Eastern time. The Democrats do 52 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: get a chance to do a response. They're going to 53 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: have first term Senator Alisa Slatkin of Michigan tackling those 54 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: responsibilities tonight. But this might be must see television. 55 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: It's a good thing you got a good sleep score 56 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: last night for the first time on your because I 57 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: think we might be up pretty late tonight. 58 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: Ready for it all right? 59 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the tariff tit for tat 60 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: is on. Just as President Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: and those extra tariffs on China went into effect at 62 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: the stroke of midnight, while those countries all announced they 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: will be retaliating. 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Canada said there was no justification for the tariffs, 65 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: and Prime Minister Trudeau said he plans to immediately impose 66 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: twenty five percent tariffs are nearly one hundred billion dollars 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: of goods from the US. We expect Mexico's response this morning. 68 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: They have a scheduled press conference. The Mexican President, however, 69 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: has already said that she has a Plan B, a 70 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: Plan C, in a Plan D. 71 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: An additional ten percent tariff was also levied on Chinese imports, 72 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: so in response, China has announced retaliatory tariffs on US 73 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: food and agricultural imports. When Trump confirmed to reporters on 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: Monday that those twenty five percent tariffs were indeed happening 75 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: as promised. Remember, he put a pause on them last month, 76 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: so those countries and some reporters were thinking he might 77 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: do the same nah, So when he said they were 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: going through, the stock market responded immediately and negatively. 79 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: The Dow tumbled nearly seven hundred points. S ANDP was 80 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: down two percent. NASDAK was down three percent. Trump said 81 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 2: the tariffs aren't only to force the countries to increase 82 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: their fight against veetanol trafficking and illegal immigration, but also 83 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 2: away to even the trade imbalance and push more factories 84 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: to relocate to the US. 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: Experts say short term, though, it's US consumers who will 86 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: most likely pay the price. The tariffs on China, Mexico 87 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: and Canada, they believe will raise prices for products ranging 88 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: from tomatoes to tequila to auto parts. I mean, you 89 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: can look and see a laundry list of products now 90 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: where you can predict that those prices will go up 91 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: fairly soon. 92 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: So they're telling us, yes, the trade war is on 93 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: for the next leg of our run is about actual 94 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: war taking place, and the United States has now cut 95 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: off all military aid to Ukraine and to get it 96 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 2: back public I'm sorry, might be necessary. This is now 97 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: the most stunning and consequential fallout from that contentious on 98 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: camera clash between Trump, Zelensky and Vice President J. D. 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: Vans in the Oval Office on Friday. 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: President Trump has ordered a halt to all military aid 101 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, which has relied on US dollars and weapons 102 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: during its three year war with Russia. The White House 103 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: statement says this, the President has been clear that he 104 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: is focused on peace. We need our partners to be 105 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and 106 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: a solution. 108 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: So you'll remember, Zelensky was at the White House on Friday, 109 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: was expected to sign an economic deal with the White 110 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: House as well as have a joint press conference with 111 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: President Trump. Didn't go so well. All that was abruptly 112 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 2: canceled after their Oval Office spat on Friday, which, depending 113 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: on your perspective, this was either Trump berating Zelensky or 114 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: Zelensky being disrespectful and unappreciative, or it was a little 115 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: bit of both men behaving badly. 116 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: So the cutoff in military aid is being called a 117 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: pause that keeps the door open for the possibility of 118 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: aid continuing in the future. Some news outlets are reporting 119 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: that the administration wants a public on camera apology from 120 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: Zelensky before that aid will continue. You know, we already 121 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: saw him go and make a video saying that he 122 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: was thanking the United States, something he didn't do in 123 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: the Oval Office. Or apparently that's not enough. The United 124 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: States has given nearly sixty six billion dollars in military 125 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: assistance to Ukraine since the start of the war in 126 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Ukraine can hold on in the coming weeks, 127 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: but without US military assistance, they're in serious trouble after that. 128 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 2: A lot of European allies are stepping up already and 129 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 2: saying they will continue to support and help Ukraine. But 130 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: at some point some of the more sophisticated major weapons 131 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: that they have been used and have been effective, they're 132 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: going to need from the US. But again, like you said, 133 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: it's just a pause. A pause can be undone. 134 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: That's true. You can hit play. 135 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: Yes, you can do it all all for a hand. 136 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens there. Will continue to run 137 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: morning with a Republican led effort to implement a federal 138 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: ban on transgender athletes in women's sports. It failed yesterday 139 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: in the Senate. 140 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: The vote on the bill was strictly along party lines, 141 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: and Republicans are going to need some Democratic support to 142 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: actually get it through. Transgender issues were a central campaign 143 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: issue for many Republicans across the country during the election cycle, 144 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: and President Trump regularly gave attention to the issue during 145 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: his campaign as well. 146 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Senate bill would change federal law to say, 147 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: quote sex shall be recognized based solely on a person's 148 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 2: reproductive biology and genetics at birth. Quote, So The House 149 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: also passed its own version of the bill. Several states 150 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: have been putting bans like this in place and continue 151 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 2: to look at anti trans legislation. But it was a 152 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: major campaign effort by the President, and right now it 153 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: looks like, don't know what's going to happen to it 154 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: in the Senate. Just don't have the. 155 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: Votes, all right. Next up on our run, Linda McMahon 156 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: has been confirmed as the Secretary of Education. Job number 157 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: one dismantle the Department of Education. Yeah. 158 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: McMahon is the former WWE executive and closed trump Lly. 159 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: She was confirmed along party lines. After those confirmation hearings 160 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: of hers got a little contentious at times. President Trump 161 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: has said repeatedly that he wants to close the Department 162 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: of Education, even saying that McMahon's job is to put 163 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: herself out of a job. 164 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: The Education Department, like many others since Trump's return to office, 165 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: has been hit with changes and massive layoffs. However, the 166 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: department was created by Congress back in nineteen seventy nine, 167 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: so it cannot technically be shut down without Congress doing so. 168 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: We've seen the President try and bypass Congress even the 169 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: Constitution with some of his measures so we'll see how 170 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: this all pans out. 171 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: All right, we continue or Ron now in Rome, our 172 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: daily stop where there is a change in tone from 173 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: the Vatican regarding the Pope's health. Despite sleeping well through 174 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: the night last night, I hope Francis suffered a setback 175 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 2: yesterday with what they're calling two acute respiratory insufficiency episodes. 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. The Vatican said these episodes were caused by a 177 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: significant accumulation of endo bronchial mucus and resulting broncos spasm. 178 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: That's a lot of medical speak, but this is not good. 179 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: This is basically a respiratory failure. So doctors had to 180 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: perform two procedures on the Pope to inspect and remove 181 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: the excess fluids. They then put him on that non 182 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: invasive mechanical ventilation that they were so excited he was 183 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: taken off of Monday. 184 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Vatican said Pope France has remained alert through 185 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 2: it all, but that his prognosis remains complex and more 186 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: respiratory crises are possible. This unfortunate eternal events came after 187 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: several days of positive reports detailing the Pope's improvement. He 188 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 2: was initially admitted to the hospital on February fourteenth, he 189 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: ended up getting double pneumonia, and again, ropes. We've been 190 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: talking about it here. It's one thing to not get 191 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 2: a bad report. But if we just got a report 192 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: that was just even, that was a good day, that 193 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: was a win. And we had three days probably of 194 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: slightly positive updates and non negative updates, and we all 195 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 2: kind of took it as encouraging news. 196 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, we were apart for a short fit yesterday and 197 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: you sent me a text a screenshot of the latest 198 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: update from the Vatican, and you know it obviously is 199 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: not good news. And any time an eighty eight year 200 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: old man is in the hospital for this long, it's concerning. 201 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: And yet to have him take these setbacks and then 202 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: to say, oh, more could be on the way. We 203 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: will certainly keep our eye on this situation. Next up 204 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: on the Run, Dolly Parton's husband of sixty years has 205 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: passed away. Carl Thomas Dean was eighty two years old. 206 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: No cause of death was given, but the family said 207 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: he passed away at their home in Nashville. 208 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: And this is what Dolly Parton wrote on social media. 209 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can't 210 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: do justice to the love we shared for over sixty years. 211 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 2: Thank you for your prayers and sympathy. The two had 212 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 2: been married since nineteen sixty six and he was by 213 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: her side through most of her career, though you never 214 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 2: saw him actually by her side. He was a very 215 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 2: private guy. He didn't like the celebrity aspect, but she 216 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: respected that. I mean, she talked about it one too 217 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: terribly long ago. Thinks she'd recalled taking him to one 218 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 2: event and he said, Okay, that's a rap, and she 219 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: respected that he didn't want to do it, and he 220 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: also respected that she had to go do it. 221 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool that they were able 222 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: to do that, and what worked for them clearly worked 223 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: because it seemed as though it was a beautiful love story. 224 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: She always spoke gushingly of him, and yeah, there's sixty 225 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: years together is proof in our heart to go out 226 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: to her. That has to be an incredibly, incredibly tough 227 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: time ahead of her. 228 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: And if you don't know, folks, if you want to 229 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: have you might not. If he didn't know she was married, 230 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: didn't know his name. If you know Joline that song, 231 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: he is the inspiration behind it. I didn't know this story. 232 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: Other people do. You're shaking your egg? 233 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, what it is? Please? Yeah. So she said that 234 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: basically a bank teller was a little smitten with him, 235 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: and she noticed he kept making some extra trips to 236 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the bank, and so she said it was a lighthearted 237 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: joking moment between them where she would say, ah, you're 238 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: spending a lot of time in the bank. We don't 239 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: have enough money for you to be in there that long. 240 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: So it inspired the song Jolene and that. It's a 241 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: very serious song, but it came from a very lighthearted 242 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: joke between the twos. 243 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that was a cool story that I didn't 244 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: know the full story until this morning. But stay with 245 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: us on this morning, Ron. When we come back, the 246 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 2: CEO of one of the largest grocery chains in the 247 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: US abruptly steps down. Also, Jay Z is suing, and 248 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: Adrian Brodie has set a record that, quite frankly, may 249 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: never be broken. 250 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Tuesday morning, Ron. Next up on 251 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: the run, jay Z is not letting it go. He 252 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: is now suing the woman who accused him of rape, 253 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: and he's suing the lawyers who represented her. 254 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is defamation, sue claims the attorneys for Jane 255 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: Doe knew the allegations she was making were false. Those 256 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: claims came in an explosive lawsuit last October in which 257 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: an unidentified woman said jay Z and Sean Diddy Combs 258 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: raped her twenty years ago and an Awards show after party. 259 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: The accuser said she was thirteen years old at the time. 260 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: Jay Z, whose real name is Sean Carter, immediately and 261 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: in the strongest of terms, denied those allegations and directed 262 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: his anger at the attorney, Tony Busby, who he called 263 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: a deplorable human. Jane Doe dropped her lawsuit last month 264 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: after admitting inconsistency inconsistencies in her stories. But jay Z 265 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: is going after Jane Doe, and yeah, wants someone to 266 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: pay for the pain and suffering that he has definitely 267 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: talked about that this was one of the worst things 268 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: he's ever had to go through talking to his children 269 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: about these allegations, and it's one of those things. Once 270 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: those allegations are. 271 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: Made, we're out there. 272 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: It's very hard to undo people's perception of they don't 273 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: hear the outcome, they don't hear the fact that the 274 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: charges were you know, the allegations were dropped. They just 275 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: stick with people, so it makes sense. 276 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: And Tony Busby, the guy he's going after, remember, is 277 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: the guy who has filed at this point dozens and 278 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 2: dozens of lawsuits from alleged accusers of Sean did he Combs? 279 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: That guy is the one he's going after here now, 280 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: continuing now on this Tuesday morning run next up, the 281 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: CEO of the second largest grocery store chain in the 282 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: US has abruptly resigned his position after an investigation found 283 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: his personal conduct was quote inconsistent with the company's ethics. 284 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Kroger said it was made aware of certain personal 285 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: conduct by CEO Rodney McMullin, which prompted an investigation. No 286 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: details have been released, but Kroger said the issue has 287 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the company's financial performance. It has 288 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Kroger's operations or reporting, and had 289 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: nothing to do with any Kroger associates. 290 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,479 Speaker 2: Huh. 291 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: They have completely distant themselves from him in every way. 292 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: Whatever he was doing, it must have happened on Saturday 293 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: and Sunday and off hours. 294 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had nothing to do with the books. They 295 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: may clear this nothing for financial impropriety. McMullan had been 296 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: with Krogler for nearly five decades, starting as a part 297 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: time store clerk in nineteen seventy eight. You hear that, 298 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: that sounds like a cool story. You go from clerk 299 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: to the CEO of the company. Sounds like a wonderful story. 300 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: But he became CEO of the entire chain in twenty fourteen. 301 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: Krogler shares fell three percent following the news, So more 302 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 2: news will probably slowly come out about that. 303 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: But wow, these personal details tend to leak out at 304 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: a certain point of Perhaps even Kroger would like them 305 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: to to further distance themselves from him, but we shall see. 306 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: Or they might just want the story to go away 307 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: so their stocks can go back up, all right. Next 308 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: up on the Run, Viewers were hot at Hulu on 309 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: Sunday night because just as the biggest oscars of the 310 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: night were about to be given. You wait all these 311 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: hours for the big one, here comes the live stream cutout. 312 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, viewers, Okay, this show was three hours and forty 313 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: seven minutes long, so you had to make an investment. 314 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: So viewers who had been watching the first three and 315 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: a half hours of the oscars lost the feed and 316 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: got an error message saying the program had ended when 317 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: it actually had not. So viewers yes, who were watching 318 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: on Hulu at the time that streaming, that streaming show 319 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: missed Mikey Madison win Best Actress and they missed Best 320 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: Picture Anora. 321 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you wait all night for those awards. 322 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: That had to be incredibly frustrating. And on top of it, 323 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: this was the first time the Oscars had been live 324 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: streamed on Hulu for regular subscribers, so this was a 325 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: big deal for Hulu and they were touting it. Disney, 326 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: which owns Hulu, issued this apology yesterday evening. We experienced 327 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: technical and live stream issues on Hulu which impacted some 328 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: Oscars viewers. We apologize for the experience. 329 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: That probably made it all better. 330 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Than Yeah, I'm sure it did. Also, I love this announcement. 331 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: The full Oscars replay is available on Hulu. For me, 332 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: that's like watching a event when you already know who won. 333 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: It's just not the same. 334 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: You know, the streamers are having a little difficulty here 335 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 2: and again, they'll get it right. But what was the 336 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: Netflix The the Jake Paul Tyson fight right that was 337 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: really personally frustrating. We didn't just have to read about 338 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: that one from other people. We experienced that. But live 339 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 2: the streamers are trying to get more into live events, 340 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: and there have been some major failures in some of 341 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: these live events. 342 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: They'll get it right, but as people turn away from 343 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: regular broadcasting. I mean, so many folks don't even have 344 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: cable boxes or television sets. They're just you know, projecting 345 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: something through a streaming service. So that's what they depend 346 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: on for these live events. They'll get it right eventually. 347 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 2: Well eventually the final leg of our run here. Also 348 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: Oscar related, two time Oscar winner Adrian Brody. He is 349 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: now in the Guinness Book of World Records. He is 350 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: a world record holder. Congratulations you make it into that book. 351 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: You should be congratulating. 352 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: We all had to pay the price for it, though, 353 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. That was a joke. It was a joke. 354 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: During his acceptance speech for Best Actor on Sunday night, 355 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Brody unknowingly broke an eighty year old record for longest 356 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: Oscar's acceptance speech ever. Yesterday we talked about how long 357 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: Rody's speech was, and I think we estimated, we said, oh, 358 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: probably about five minutes. It actually was five minutes and 359 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: forty seconds long. 360 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: Felt longer, but that five minutes and forty seconds was 361 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: actually ten seconds longer than the previous record holder, who 362 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: was a British actor, Greer Garson. Now Garson was the 363 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: Oscar winner Best Performance, Best Best Actress. I relieve her 364 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: acceptance speech lasted five minutes and thirty seconds. That, of 365 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: course was before we even had televised oscars. 366 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: Wow. So these days, Oscar winners are typically given about 367 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: forty five seconds to speak before the music starts, to 368 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: play softly to encourage them to wrap up their speeches. Well, 369 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: when the music played for Brody on Sunday night, and 370 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: it feels like it was way after forty five seconds, 371 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: this is what he had to say. I'm wrapping up. 372 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: I will wrap up, turn the music off. I've done 373 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: this before. Thank you. It is not my first rodeo. 374 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 1: But I will be brief. I will not be egregious, 375 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: I promise. 376 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: And then he was egregious. 377 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: He was not brief, He wasn't brief. 378 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: Who's to say whether or not it was egregious, but look, 379 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: that's a huge moment for him. He had something on 380 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: his head, something on his heart, and he wanted to 381 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: say it. We can all appreciate and respect that in 382 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: the moment, which was one of the biggest of his life, 383 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: certainly of his career. But everybody else has to respect 384 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: the process. Everybody else has to respect the show, the producers, 385 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 2: the viewers, your fellow nominees. And it felt like it 386 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: went a little like we were willing to give him 387 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: a little a little okay, go ahead and do your thing, 388 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: but he went on and on and on. 389 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: And he's known for this. But can you imagine if 390 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: everybody went five minutes forty seconds? 391 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: But the forty five seconds, I think is so short 392 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: that flies forty five seconds. They only played the music, 393 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: I believe, on two maybe three people that night, so 394 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: they tried not to try to give him a little rope. 395 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 2: The biggest night of your career, you want more than 396 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: forty five seconds. 397 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: I have a feeling, you know, they made a joke 398 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: about it earlier, or at least I say vay Conan 399 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: O'Brien did with the John Lifgo thing, saying he's gonna 400 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna show him making a sad, disappointed face if 401 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: you go too long instead of playing the music. But 402 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: I have a feeling what happened with Adrian and Brody 403 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: in the record setting speech he gave might be a 404 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: joke for next year's Oscar. 405 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 2: This will go on for ever. 406 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: He's in the history books. 407 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: People, Yes, nobody's going to beat that one. Well, as 408 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 2: you go about here Tuesday, now, something we'd like for 409 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 2: you to consider it is our quote of the day. 410 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: You know, there are so many quotes from this wonderful woman. 411 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: I didn't know where to start, but I picked two. 412 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: If that's okay. We have two quotes of the day 413 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: because they're similarly themed. We cannot direct the wind, but 414 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: we can adjust the sales. And the second quote, don't 415 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: get so busy making a living that you forget to 416 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: make a life. And I love these two quotes from 417 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Dolly Parton because I know she's we know she's going 418 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: through probably some of the toughest days of her life. 419 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: But some of her own words of wisdom when things 420 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: are tough, I thought were appropriate for all of us today. 421 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: And I just loved both of these quotes because it's 422 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: just about perspective, and she certainly had so much. 423 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 2: So for one, again, it's we cannot direct the wind, 424 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 2: but we can adjust the sales. The other is, don't 425 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: get so busy making a living that you forget to 426 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: make a life, and for that we do appreciate you, 427 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: Dolly Bard and our hearts always go out to her. 428 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 2: Many of us say, look, have you been in this business, 429 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 2: certainly on a national level, to any degree you've dealt 430 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: with Dolly Parton. 431 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: She comes in with sunshine like she is, sunshine personified, always. 432 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: Always, always, so heart's breaking for her, but while also 433 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: something look up to. He've supported her like that for 434 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: sixty years in their way. Congratulations to that. And with that, folks, 435 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: we want to say to you, have yourself a good Tuesday. 436 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: We always appreciate to you going on a run with us. 437 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: Don't forget tonight, don't miss the show not o'clock live. 438 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: At Congress with potential props and protests and god knows 439 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: what else this is. Probably it might even be more 440 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: entertaining than the oscars. All right, everyone, have a wonderful day. 441 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: I'm maybe Robot and we'll see you on the run tomorrow.
