I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ. 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: Holmes. 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 3: Hope you get this Morning run this morning because we 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 3: had a hard time getting to you yesterday. A lot 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 3: of you had issues. Somebody owes us all in apology 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: robes for what they did to the internet yesterday. 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: Stuff just didn't work and we had no idea. 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: Why isn't it scary how dependent we are for reasons 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: we don't even realize until it goes away. 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 3: That's a good, good point. Nobody heard a cloud fair 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 3: before yesterday. But this company was responsible for the shutdown. 14 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 3: Everything's up and running and they did apologize. So we'll 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 3: talk about that today. In a moment, we're going to 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: get to Rolls. I guess at the lu it struck 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: us a little differently because we know this young lady 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: pretty well. But Trump went after a reporter in a 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 3: pretty pretty harsh way in front of a lot lot 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 3: of people, including a world leader, and it was it 21 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: was tough, and in the midst of all that, calls 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 3: for a license to be taken away from the network. 23 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: It was hard to watch just because yes, we know her, 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: I respect her. She is a great reporter. And I 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: don't say that lightly. I don't think you would either. 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: This isn't just us saying, oh, you know, poor journalist. 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 4: Trump's being mean. This was uncalled for and an unwarranted. 28 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll get into that moment and why now 29 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: it has turned into maybe a bigger deal because yes, 30 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: he's calling for once again a license to be taken 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: away from a network. But we do want to make 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: sure that top right corner of your Apple podcast app 33 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: on our show screen it says follow.

Something 44 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: we did not think we would say, and something we 45 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: rarely say when we're talking about Congress. But the full 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: Epstein files will finally be released. 47 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 4: We believe. 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 3: I just wanted to cover us a little bit there 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: by putting that we believe at the end. Yes, the 50 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: House of Representatives yesterday overwhelmingly approved the bill that compels 51 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: the DELJ to release everything they have. And after they 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: approved it the House by a vote of four hundred 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: and twenty seven to one, the Senate approved it by 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: unanimous consent. 55 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: So now we are just waiting on a couple of 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: eyes to be dotted and a few teas to be crossed, 57 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: and this thing will be headed to the President's desk 58 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: today and President Trump has already said he is going 59 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: to sign it. 60 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: So what's this bill do? 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: It says that all unclassified records, the documents, communications, and 62 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: investigative materials associated with the Epstein case are to be released. Okay, 63 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: So if this gets signed today, when are we going 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: to see all this stuff? 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: Really? 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: Well, the bill calls for the documents to be released 67 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: within thirty days, so on day twenty nine we will 68 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: put No, it's sometime within the next month we should 69 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: be able to read through. And we don't even know 70 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: how much we're talking about. I mean, already twenty thousand 71 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: emails were released, so how much more is there we 72 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: shall see? But the House passed it votes four hundred 73 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and twenty seven to one. 74 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: So who was the lone no vote? 75 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Representative Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana. 76 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: I thought it might have been a mistake, like you 77 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: hit the wrong button or something like that, but it's 78 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: not what happened. He's actually standing by his vote and 79 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: put out a statement saying it this way, this bill 80 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses, people who 81 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: provided alibis, family members, and so on. If enacted in 82 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal 83 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: investigative files released to a rabid media will absolutely result 84 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: in innocent people being hurt. So he has a moral 85 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: ground he's standing on. He does think names might get 86 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: out and do damage to a lot of people. I 87 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 3: think that's probably a fair concern. 88 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: We have a whole podcast on this, by the way, 89 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: if you want to check it out. I believe it's 90 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: the podcast before this where I weigh in quite a 91 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: bit on why. I think that is an absurd, an 92 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: absurd reason to vote no, just because we had all 93 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: of those victims who he is supposedly trying to protect 94 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: standing there on Capitol Hill saying release the files. So 95 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: it does fly in the face of that. I understand 96 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: the sentiment, but in this specific case doesn't make a 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: lot of sense. 98 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: You don't have to go listen to the episode. 99 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: Now, no, we sail all right, I'm sorry, I got 100 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: I got on my pulpit. All right, Next up on 101 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: the run problem solved. All your websites should be back 102 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: up and fully running after that. How did yesterday caused 103 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: by a company most of us did not even know 104 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: the name of Did you know it? 105 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: Cloud Flair? 106 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 4: I've never heard of it before. 107 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: Didn't look familiar. I looked at their logo, everything nothing 108 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: sounded familiar. Yes, this happened yesterday morning. All of us 109 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: started noticing our websites weren't working. Our site was down. 110 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: We weren't able to actually post and put up our 111 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: even and I had no idea. We depended on cloud Flare. 112 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: But apparently we cannot put up podcasts if cloud Flare 113 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: is down. 114 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: But people went craze of course X was down, chat 115 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: GPT was down, but the company cloud Flare, took full responsibility. 116 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: Yes, it's a massive web company that helps businesses manage 117 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: traffic to their website. 118 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: It provides security. 119 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: It has millions of clients, including those big ones that 120 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: depend on their service, some of the ones we just mentioned. 121 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: Another way to put it, your favorite websites need cloud 122 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: Flare to function properly and safely. 123 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: So what happened? They didn't exactly track down the cause, 124 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: but cloud Flare Robes, the CEO, put out a statement, 125 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 3: everybody take note. This is how it started. And I 126 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: quote I won't Men's words earlier today, we failed our 127 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: customers and the broader internet. 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 2: That is nice. 129 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: How you put out an apology, just said yep, we 130 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: did it. This is on us, didn't point to anything 131 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: else and said we are sorry, we messed up. I 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: think most people are willing to yes that type of 133 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: an apology. He made clear also this was important that 134 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: this was not a cyber attack. 135 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: This was their screw up. Wow, completely all right. 136 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: I do kind of want to know what it was, 137 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: though I probably wouldn't understand it if he even explained it. 138 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 4: All right, So next up on the run. 139 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: This is a big headline today singer David and his 140 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: name is spelled D four VD just in case you've 141 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: read it and didn't know how it was pronounced. Singer 142 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: David is now officially considered a suspect in the death 143 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: of a fifteen year old girl who was found dead 144 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: in the trunk of his car, and. 145 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: David, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has been 146 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 3: under scrutiny, but up until now police have not called 147 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 3: him or anybody else suspect. 148 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: In September, the decomposing and dismembered body of fifteen year 149 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: old Celeste Revas Hernandez was found in the trunk of 150 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: a Tesla registered to David. Authorities are waiting on a 151 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: determination of a cause of death. Once they get that, 152 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: then they might be able to speed up an arrest 153 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: if that is imminent. Hernandez had been reported missing in 154 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: April of twenty twenty four. 155 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 4: David started out on TikTok. 156 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: He was actually on a world tour when Revas's body 157 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: was found, and he notably kept singing. He stayed on 158 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: his tour until finally he decided to call it off 159 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: when he realized that yes, there was a lot of 160 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: media reports and a lot of questions surrounding any potential 161 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: involvement he might have with her or with her death. 162 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: Robe. 163 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: You have to keep me honest on my writing of 164 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: this story. We I think a lot of places. You see, 165 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: she's a fifteen year old girl, but police absolutely believe 166 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: she could have been dead up to what was it months, Yes, 167 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: in that trunk. Her birthday was the day before she 168 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: was found, so they believe she was dead much longer, 169 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: meaning she was actually still a fourteen year old child 170 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: when she passed. You mentioned that to me earlier, and 171 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: we keep saying fifteen, but she was fourteen when she 172 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: actually she was. And that's just I don't know, for 173 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: whatever reason, feels like important. It's distinction to me, all right. 174 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: Continuing on the run now with President Trump, he said 175 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: yesterday that he wants to revoke ABC's broadcasting license now roads, 176 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that necessarily sounds like much of 177 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: us a surprise. It seems like sometimes daily, but certainly weekly, 178 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: he's threatening the present some way. 179 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: For him of fashion. 180 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: Yes, So this time, however, this was part of a larger, 181 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: really uncomfortable, really awkward moment where Trump viciously chied it 182 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: an ABC reporter in the Oval office. 183 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and the reporter we're talking about here is Mary Bruce, 184 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: who has for a long time covered DC and covered 185 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: the White House. Now, Trump was taking questions from the 186 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 3: reporters during his meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince. They 187 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 3: were sitting in the Oval Office. 188 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 2: You've seen this. 189 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 3: Set up before. So Mary's question to the President was 190 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 3: about the Epstein files. This was it directly, and I'm quoting. 191 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 3: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why 192 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 3: not just do it now? 193 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: And so this is how the President responded. You know, 194 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: it's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. 195 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way 196 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: you ask these questions. You start off with the man 197 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: who's highly respected asking him about awful, insubordinate, and just 198 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: a terrible question. You could even ask that same question nicely. 199 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: You're all psyched. Somebody psyches you over at ABC. You're 200 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: a terrible person and a terrible reporter. 201 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: Damn, Like this is in front of everybody, this is 202 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: front of the Saudi Crown Prince. It's just so uncomfortable, 203 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: and that that question set him off. 204 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 4: And we watched her ask it. She asked it very plainly. 205 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 4: She didn't have attitude on it. I didn't see it. 206 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: Bro We rewound, and rewound, and rewind. 207 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: We kept looking at trying to identify see something a 208 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: little bit. 209 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: Look if she were sarcastic or had like a tone. 210 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: There was none of that. 211 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 4: She just asked him a question, very plainly. 212 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 3: But he was just getting started, folks. He went on 213 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: to say this to her quote, people are wise to 214 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: your hoax, and ABC, your company, your crappy company, is 215 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: one of the perpetrators. Now, at this point, she tries 216 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: to jump in and get back on track about the question. 217 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: He just keeps barreling forward. He says, I'll tell you something. 218 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: I think the license should be taken away from ABC 219 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: because your news is so fake and it's so wrong, 220 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: And we have a great commissioner chairman who should look 221 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 3: at that, because I think when you come in and 222 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 3: you're ninety seven percent negative to Trump and then Trump 223 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: wins the election in a landslide, that means obviously your 224 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: news is not credible. You are not credible as a reporter. 225 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: He wrapped with this, I think the way you ask 226 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: a question with the anger and the meanness is terrible. 227 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: You need to go back and learn to be a reporter. 228 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: No more questions from you. It's like the Soup Nazi 229 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: at the end. No more soup for you, no more 230 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: questions from you. It seems to me as though he 231 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: got embarrassed in front of the Crown Prince and he 232 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: was trying to be the big man and say I'm 233 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: not going to take crap from you, and it seemed 234 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: as though because it was I mean, Look, we're used 235 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: to him chiding folks and saying what he thinks, but 236 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: this was exceptionally harsh. 237 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 3: And the reason it matters that he mentions the chairman 238 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 3: in ABC is because, of course the FCC chair Brendan Kaugh, 239 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: has gone after a network has said things publicly before 240 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: about talent being fired or about dangling the license as 241 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: a threat out there. So we will see, we have 242 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: seen before when President Trump gives a directive like that publicly, 243 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: Bondi and others will follow. 244 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: Yes, all right, continue on the run. Now. 245 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: You remember that whole Texas redistricting drama. Yeah, they redrew 246 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 3: their map to give Republicans an advantage. Democrats left the state, 247 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: went on the run. You remember that whole thing trying 248 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: to supported the effort what they were trying to pick 249 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 3: up five additional Republican seats. 250 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: It was a big drama. 251 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: Yes, Well, now a federal court has thrown out that 252 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: new map said you can't use it. So the ruling 253 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: by a panel of judges is now ordering the state 254 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: to go back to the previous map and wrote that 255 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: redrawing the map when beyond just politics, that there was 256 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: substantial evidence that the state racially jerry mandered the map. 257 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: The governor already said they're going to appeal to the 258 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: US Supreme Court. 259 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 4: So it's not over. But the saga continues. 260 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: Uh, just the saga that it was to think that 261 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: after all that, and it's set off a redistricting race 262 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 3: in California and other states. Now to think the one 263 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: Texas put in place, they can't even use it. 264 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 4: Oh the irony. 265 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: That was the point. 266 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 3: All right, folks, stay with the US here on this 267 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 3: Wednesday Morning run.

He made it last 273 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: night in his season debut. So what record did he set? 274 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: Robes You might be thinking points, assists, rebounds. No, he 275 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: actually set a record just by stepping onto the floor. 276 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: He's now the first player to ever play twenty three 277 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: straight seasons in the nb A. Congratulations, I think that. 278 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: I mean, look, he gets a lot of awards for 279 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: a lot of things. His longevity, his health is something 280 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: he should absolutely be applauded for. This is incredible that 281 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: he's been able to do this, But this was his 282 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: first game of the year. He's been out with injury, 283 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: so this was his season debut. 284 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: Speaking to probably the wear and tear on his body, 285 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: it is remarkable that he is able to do what 286 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: he does at the level he does it. But yeah, 287 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: he had to miss some games because his body has reacted. 288 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 3: Him and he and Tom Brady have figured something out. 289 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: Tom Brady was playing at a really high level in 290 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 3: his early forties and it's just not something U see. 291 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: So I applaud this. 292 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 4: Yes, all right. 293 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, somebody paid two hundred and 294 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: thirty six point four million dollars last night for a 295 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,479 Speaker 1: piece of art. It makes it the second most expensive 296 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: piece of art ever sold at auction. 297 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 4: What is it? 298 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: It's a particular piece of art called Portrait of Elizabeth Letterer. 299 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: It's a full length one of only two known full 300 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: length portraits by Gustav Klimt, a prominent Austrian painter. 301 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: Yes, it was painted over three years between nineteen fourteen 302 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: and nineteen sixteen. It has a hell of a story 303 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: behind it. The woman in the portrait is the daughter 304 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: of a I'm and one of the wealthiest families in 305 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: Vienna at the time. And when Germany the Nazis came in, 306 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 3: they looted everything from certainly the wealthy folks. They took 307 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 3: all the art robes from this place, but reportedly didn't 308 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 3: want this because it was essentially a family photo. It 309 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: had no value, and they even one museum said it 310 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: was too Jewish, it looked wo Jewish, and they left 311 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: it behind and it was safe. 312 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: So that's the story behind this painting. 313 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: And I love the next part of the story because 314 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: it's from one of my favorite people who have ever 315 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: walked on this planet.

He said. 337 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 3: They were actually nervous because they treated it like it 338 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: was normal. And the chair they were scared. The chair 339 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 3: would bump up against it as people were sitting down, 340 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: like it was just art to them. And it's worth 341 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: all this, it's just a painting story. Oh god, oh 342 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: rich people problems all right.
