All right, we're going to begin our run 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: this morning. Though, with that shocking announcement in the entertainment world, 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: CBS says it is canceling the most watched show in 43 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: late night, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The show 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: will end in May after Colbert's contract expires. 45 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: All right, Now, despite what you might be thinking. The 46 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: network insists its decision was purely a financial decision against 47 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: a challenging bat drop in late night, and they say 48 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 2: it had nothing to do with the show's performance or 49 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: content or quote other matters happening at Paramount. They Robes 50 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: decided to add that in there before anybody ever started criticizing. 51 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: We'll get more into that now. The other matters, yes, 52 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: that we're talking about here, multi billion dollar merger with 53 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: movie studio Skydance. The thing about that is that it 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: requires approval from the Trump administration. Also, sixteen million dollars 55 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: settlement with the President over a sixty minutes interview with 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. People are citing those things. That's maybe playing 57 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 2: a factor into this show, which Colbert goes after Trump damn. 58 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: There every night. 59 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, And specifically on Monday Night, Colbert called that 60 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: settlement with President Trump quote a big fat bribe end quote, 61 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: and then mocked reports that Paramount would now try to 62 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: please Trump by putting pressure on him. That was on 63 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Monday Night DJ timing. 64 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, so obviously people are. 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: Going to look at that, go hmm, one hundred percent. 66 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: People are trying to connect those dots. So last night, 67 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: Colbert acknowledged the network's decision and this is kind of crazy, 68 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: saying he was only told about the cancelation the night before, 69 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: on Wednesday night, so he had just hours to process 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: this very shocking announcement. And that's when the audience bowed 71 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: and Colbert agreed with the audience, saying, yeah, I share 72 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: your feelings. 73 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: But he did. 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: Praise CBS as well, calling them a great partner and 75 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: thanking them for the opportunity and for the beautiful theater 76 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: he's called home the past ten years. That's the famed 77 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: Ed Sullivan Theater. The Late Show franchise began in nineteen 78 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: ninety three with of course David Letterman, but late night 79 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: network programming has been struggling in recent years, most of 80 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: the country, of course, moving away from traditional broadcast and 81 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: cable television and over to streaming services. I mean, the 82 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: numbers and the ratings, they just are what they are. 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: It was kind of shocked to look at them, to 84 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: see a couple of them are averaging under two million. 85 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: I mean, in the heyday, you can't imagine what it was, 86 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: but under two million these days and late night the 87 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: salaries that these guys are making look these are institutions. 88 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: It's weird to see one go. 89 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: It's a sign of the times, and it's just sad 90 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: and just it's I don't know, shocking is like a 91 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: minimal word to use. I mean, I think people were 92 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: really like they're gutted by it as well, because so 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: many people love Stephen Colbert. 94 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: But what else if the number one late night show 95 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: that is an institution can be done away with for 96 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: final Anchel reasons, than isn't everything on the chopping block? 97 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: It seems that could be the case, all right. Next 98 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: up on the run, President Trump says he is about 99 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: to sue another major media outlet. This time it's the 100 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. The paper released an article late yesterday 101 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: with this title, Jeffrey Epstein's friends sent him body letters 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: for a fiftieth birthday album. One was from Donald Trump, 103 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: all right. 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: Then, the article goes on to describe the details of 105 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: the alleged letter from Trump to Epstein in two thousand 106 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: and three. That letter included a sketch of a naked lady. 107 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 2: According to the paper, it was part of a leatherbound 108 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: book put together by Epstein associate Glene Maxwell, and included 109 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: well wishes from Epstein's friends and family. 110 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: The journal describes the message as typewritten text surrounded by 111 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: a hand drawn sketch of a naked woman, completed with 112 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: arcs representing breasts, and the signature Donald is written just 113 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: under the waist of the naked woman in a way 114 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: that is supposed to represent pubic hair. The letter closes 115 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: with this line and perhaps this might be the most 116 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: damning of it all. According to the paper, it says, 117 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: happy birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret. 118 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: You can imagine. 119 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: But yes, I had the TV on at some points 120 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: last night and saw clips the lower third from some 121 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: of the cable outlets. 122 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: Were using that line. 123 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: Ah. 124 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: The journal claims the letter was among documents that were 125 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: part of the Justice Department investigation into Epstein and Maxwell. 126 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: The president's response to all this would me, he said, 127 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: and I quote, this is a fake thing. It's a 128 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture 129 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's 130 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: not my language, it's not my word. 131 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: But he went further on social media, claiming in op 132 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: pose that he personally warned the journal and owner Rupert 133 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: Murdoch that the letter was fake. And that he would sue. 134 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: The President wrote that mister Murdoch stated he would take 135 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: care of it, but obviously did not have the power 136 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: to do so. The editor of the Wall Street Journal, 137 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: Emma Tuck, was told directly by Carolyn Levitt and by 138 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: President Trump that the letter was a fake, but Emma 139 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: Tucker didn't want to hear that. Instead, they are going 140 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: with a false, malicious and defamatory story. Anyway, President Trump 141 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: will be suing the Wall Street Journal News Corp. And 142 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: mister Murdoch. Shortly, he referred to himself in third person there. 143 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: I think he reposted a larger statements. 144 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure, yeah, you got it 145 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: right now. 146 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: The President has some pretty high profile eight figure wins 147 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: against legacy media lately, after suing and eventually settling lawsuits 148 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: with ABC and CBS News. Both of those have those numbers, right, 149 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: sixteen million dollars for both, right, all right? And he 150 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: continued at least the statement on his social media saying 151 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: the press has to learn to be truthful and not 152 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: rely on sources that probably don't even exist. President Trump 153 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: has already beaten George Stephanopoulos and ABC sixty Minutes and 154 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: CBS and others, and looks forward to suing and holding 155 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: accountable the once great Wall Street Journal. It was truly 156 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: turned out be a disgusting and filthy rag end. Quote 157 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: is what the President said. 158 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: Wow, all right. Well, not long after that, the President 159 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: made another attempt at calming the uproar over his administration's 160 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: handling of the Epstein files. In a major change of tune, 161 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: Trump now says he wants Attorney General Pam Bondi to 162 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: release more files related to Epstein, in particular grand jury testimony. 163 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 164 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: Just after nine o'clock last night, the President posted on 165 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: his social media this one's from him for sure. 166 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: Quote. 167 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to the 168 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General 169 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: Pambondi to produce any and all pertinent grand jury testimony, 170 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: subject to court approval. This scam perpetuated by the Democrats, should. 171 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: End, right now. 172 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 2: A couple of things in there. Pertinent, who decides whether 173 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: it's pertinent? Yeah, and then once you decide it's pertinent, 174 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: then a court has the okay at being released. So 175 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: still a couple of steps in there that the MAGA 176 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: folks might not like this. MAGA revolts started last week 177 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 2: when the DJ said no more Epstein files would be 178 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: released and there was no Epstein client list, and oh, 179 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 2: by the way, they said Epstein died by suicide in 180 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: his jail cell. 181 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: All right. Next up on Iran President Trump's health. Many 182 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: noticed the president appeared to have swollen ankles when several 183 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: images were shown of him sitting at the FIFA club 184 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: soccer match in New Jersey. Is it five for a Fifaifa? 185 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 3: Okay? 186 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: I questioned myself for a second the FIFA club soccer 187 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: match in New Jersey earlier this week. 188 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: I have another ye gay moment? 189 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 2: I did? 190 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: I did? 191 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: And what's the basketball player from Oklahoma City? 192 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: Please say Gilgess Alexander. 193 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: Oh, fine on the spot, all right. Getting back to 194 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: the President and his swollen ankles here, Yes, those images 195 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 2: kind of made the rounds. A lot of people noticed it, 196 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: but the White House now says the President himself noticed 197 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: swelling and brought it to the attention of his doctors, 198 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 2: and he's now been diagnosed with chronic venus insufficiency or 199 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: cv I. This is a condition when veins in the 200 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 2: legs are dammited and have a difficult time bringing blood 201 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: back up to the heart. It's impact about one in 202 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: twenty adults, and usually people over the age of fifty. 203 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: The White House called it a benign and common condition, 204 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: particularly in individuals over the age of seventy. His physical 205 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: also made note of other pictures circulating that appear to 206 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: show bruising on the back of Trump's hand. Well, they 207 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: said it is partly due to soft tissue irritation from 208 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: frequent handshaking, firm handshakes. All right, that's good to you. 209 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 2: All run now in DC, A bill that cuts nine 210 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 2: billion dollars in spending is now headed to the White 211 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: House for Trump's signature. It was a heavy lift for 212 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 2: Republicans who finally passed the bill that slashes the budget 213 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, 214 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: cuts eight billion dollars from four and eight programs as well. 215 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: The House passed the bill in another middle of the 216 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: night vote the day after. The Senate did the very same, 217 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: narrowly passing its version around two am. The day before. 218 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: All Democrats in both chambers voted against the cuts. Republicans 219 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: outed the bill as cutting woke and wasteful government spending. 220 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: Yeah Democrats described the spending cuts in the bill as 221 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: cruel and detrimental to American leadership. The CEO of the 222 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: Corporation for Public Broadcasting said the bill will have profound, lasting, 223 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: negative consequences for every American, adding that the cuts will 224 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 2: lead to many local public radio and television stations having 225 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: to shut down. 226 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: All right, Next up on run, The Justice Department has 227 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: recommended time in jail for the only officer convicted in 228 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: the killing of Breonna Taylor. How much time are they 229 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: asking the judge to sentence him to one day? 230 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: Yes, The DOJ says Brett Hankerson is not a threat 231 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: to the public after he was convicted of violating Taylor's 232 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: rights in that botched twenty twenty raid in Louisville. Hankerson 233 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: and two other officers were fired while they actually fired 234 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: into the home while serving a no knock warned where 235 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: Taylor and her boyfriend were sleeping. 236 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: Taylor's boyfriend, thinking they were intruders, fired one shot, and 237 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: then the officers fired dozens of rounds into the home, 238 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: billing Taylor. Hankinson fired at least ten times blindly through 239 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: a window, hitting no one. The window was covered by 240 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: blinds as. 241 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 2: While he fired ten shots into a window and couldn't 242 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: see what he was shooting at. 243 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: That's crazy. 244 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 2: Those bullets ended up in another apartment, never hit anybody. 245 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: He is the only officer held accountable in any way 246 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: with a conviction, and he's the officer whose bullets didn't 247 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: hit her. What he had actually shot her, he would 248 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: not be in legal trouble as the wildest. 249 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: Story, it really, really truly is yes. And so the 250 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: Justice Department said this Hankinson did not shoot miss Taylor 251 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 1: and is not otherwise responsible for her death. Counsel is 252 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: unaware of another prosecution in which a police officer has 253 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 1: been charged with depriving the rights of another person for 254 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: returning fire and not injuring anyone. 255 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: However, the attorney for Taylor's family called this a dangerous 256 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: precedent and in a statement said, when a police officer 257 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: was found guilty of violating someone's constitutional rights, there must 258 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: be real accountability and justice, recommending just one day in 259 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: prison and sends the unmistakable message that white officers can 260 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: violate the civil rights of black Americans with near total impunity. 261 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: So one day, what's the point? Just asked for no sentence. Well, 262 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: it's essentially for time served. He was first arrested and 263 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 2: spent one day being booked at the jail. That counts 264 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: as one day, so they're essentially giving him credit for 265 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 2: time served by asking for this. But it seems almost 266 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 2: like an insult. 267 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: Well what's the point, Yeah, it makes no sense. It 268 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: is it is adding injury to insult or insult to injury. 269 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: That's right on brand for me. I like to switch 270 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: up sayings and make them my own. 271 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, would you like to make people think? All right, 272 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: you folks, stay with us here all this Friday morning 273 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: run when we come back. I would have bought this 274 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: piece of movie memorabilia, but however I could not afford it. Also, 275 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: coming up, a man made a huge, huge mistake with 276 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: his lottery ticket and it doubled his winning. 277 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday edition of Morning Ron And 278 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: how much would you pay for an actual whip used 279 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: by Indiana Jones TJ. How much would you pay at 280 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: this point? 281 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 3: Now it's a matter of what I could. 282 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: Afford, but a lot, okay, you would give whatever you could. Well, 283 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: one particularly storied whip from Indiana Jones in the last 284 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: crusade went up for auction last night and the winning 285 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: bid was five hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. 286 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 3: All right. 287 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: This was the third installment of the Indiana Jones initial 288 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: trilogy and this was at the end of the movie. 289 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: You've seen this right, yes, okay, when his dad played 290 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: by Sean Connery, had been shot and he needed to 291 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: save him. So he has to go get the Holy Grail. 292 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 2: But he has to go pass all these death defying tests. Well, 293 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: the whip he carried in that final series, that final 294 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: climax of the movie. That is the whip we're talking about. 295 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: So it's a big deal. It's part of inomatic history. 296 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: But there's even more history to it, Robes. This is fascinating. 297 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: This whip was once owned by Princess Diana. 298 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: I love how this went down. So the whip was 299 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: given to Prince Charles by Harrison Ford himself during the 300 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine UK premiere. Very cool. Prince Charles then 301 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: gefted it to Princess Diana. You know, they got divorce. 302 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: She probably wanted to get rid of all this stuff 303 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: her ex husband gave her. And that's kind of a 304 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: thing a lot of women do. Usually it's jewelry. But 305 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: she's like, I don't want this thing. It reminds me 306 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: of my ex husband. 307 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 3: Okay, we're circulating. 308 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm totally speculating. Makes sense, Yeah, that's where my brain went, 309 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: all right. So so Princess Diana then gives it to 310 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: someone else. That someone else is the unidentified seller who 311 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: put the whip up for auction. 312 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: Yes, the whip unidentified buyer as well. But this whip 313 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: was part of a larger auction of movie memorabilia this week, 314 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: which also included the sale of the Rosebud sled featured 315 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: in Citizen kan Now does that automatically trigger a memory? 316 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 3: Do you know what that? 317 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: I don't I know. I thought Citizen Kane was in 318 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: black and white, So I'm it's do we It is. 319 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: Considered maybe maybe the greatest film ever made. 320 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen it. 321 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: But there's a Rosebud, a famous sled in there. So 322 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: that sled was also sold part of this big week 323 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: of stuff, and it sold for fourteen point seventy five 324 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: million dollars. That makes it the second most expensive movie 325 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 2: prop ever sold, the number one. I bet if I 326 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: gave you all just a moment. 327 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: You could come up with what was number one, because 328 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: we talked about it here quite a bit. 329 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's, of course Dorothy's slippers, the shoes worn by 330 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: Judy Garland herself and the Wizard of Oz. They fetched 331 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: thirty two point five million dollars and I get that, 332 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: so I kind of want to watch Citizen King. 333 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: Now. 334 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: That was a December ride with the shoes, after they 335 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: were recovered they had been stolen. 336 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: There there was a whole thing with them, Yeah, the shoes, 337 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: but yes they were I paid a pretty penny for that, 338 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: all right, for the final leg of our run. It's rare, 339 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: but sometimes making a mistake can be a good thing, 340 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: and in this next story, it was a very good thing. 341 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 342 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: Massa jusetts Man earlier this month bought a powerball ticket 343 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: at a local grocery store. All right, nothing too crazy 344 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: about that. Looking at it later, he thought the final 345 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: drawing on that ticket had already happened. So he made 346 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: a mistake. He's looking at his ticket. He thinks, oh, 347 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: this drawing already happened, so this one is no good. 348 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: So he went out purchased another ticket using the exact 349 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: same numbers, and he purchased this one at a gas station. 350 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: So now he has two tickets with the same number, 351 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: but robes he only thinks one is legit. 352 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Right, But it was a lucky mistake because all five 353 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: numbers he chose both times matched the five white balls 354 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: in the powerball drawing, and both tickets were for the 355 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: same drawing. He just made a mistake, so he doubled 356 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: the tickets. That doubled his earnings. It landed him one 357 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: million dollars for each winning ticket, for a total of 358 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: two million dollars. He was only missing the red powerball 359 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: number five. But imagine if he had, they have had 360 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,959 Speaker 1: to have paid out two powerball winnings. That's would they 361 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: even have the funds for that? 362 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 3: See, I know they don't. 363 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: Do they split it with himself split If. 364 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 2: Two different people win, they have the same winning numbers, 365 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: then they have to share. 366 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: Okay, fine, but why didn't he have to share it 367 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: with himself with the five winning numbers. That's crazy. 368 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: These aren't considered the ultimate jack pot individual wins you 369 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: can have. 370 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: So if he had gotten the power obviously he would 371 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: have made a lot more money, but he wouldn't have 372 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: doubled it. This is the only way he could have. 373 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: Doubled it the only way and look, so this works 374 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: out beautifully. Yes, the newly minted millionaire says, the double 375 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: win feels good, but he doesn't know what he's going 376 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 2: to do with all that money. Each store, well, he 377 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 2: bought those winning tickets gets ten thousand grand. That's also 378 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: ten grand. That's always cool. And the chances of winning 379 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: any powerball prize is one in twenty four point nine million. 380 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 2: The powerball numbers are astronomical. I can't remember what post chances. 381 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: It's like two hundred and forty nine million. It's like, 382 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: you know, one hundred times more than that. But like, 383 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: what a cool story, and congratulations to him. 384 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: And something we want you to take with you on 385 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: this Friday something to consider it is our quote of 386 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: the day, Robes. 387 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: You picked a doozy today. 388 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: Yes, the most dangerous thing you can do in life 389 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: is play it safe. And I'll get into it later 390 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: we do our Sunday morning run where we really go 391 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: into these quotes. But the person who said this, I 392 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: don't even Casey Nicetat, but his story is crazy. I 393 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: did a deep dive on him, but he's an American YouTuber. 394 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: But his story talk about a rags to Riches story. 395 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. So I love that he is just 396 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: as a reminder to all of us, go for it. 397 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: The most dangerous thing you can do in life is 398 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: play it safe, love it. 399 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 2: And with that, folks, we appreciate you running with us 400 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: this week on the Morning Run.

Everybody's arguing about something. 413 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 2: Trump is suing somebody, somebody's it's just constant.
