00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: morning everyone, Thanks for joining us on today's Morning Run.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: We've made it so Wednesday. It already feels like a

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: really long week, but it's Wednesday, January twenty eighth. I'm

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Amy Robot.

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: That was not a good start, was it. We are

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: you supposed to thrive, not just survive? We made it

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: to Wednesday. No, we're excited. We are here. We are

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: tackling this week. Despite all the cold outside and the

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: horrible videos that keep popping up, and the back and

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: forth and the partial shutdown that's coming, and the lights

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: that are still out and the flights that are still

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: getting canceled. We are gonna stay positive today, Robes, was

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: that convincing at all?

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: Not really, but I appreciated the effort.

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I didn't even believe what I was saying. But I'm TJ.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: Holmes and good morning through you all. Yes, it's a

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: hell of a week and we're just in the middle

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: of it. But glad, as always you all spending some

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: time here with us. It's fascinating. I thought it was

21
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: just us, but looking at everybody's in the deepreez to

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: see the Hudson River frozen the way it's been. We

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: thought it was just us. Oh, we haven't seen it

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: like this, but we've seen the meteor. I'll just talk

25
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: about it.

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: This is rare.

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. And in fact, the massive ferry

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: system that gets people to and from New Jersey and

29
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: s Dton Island and all those places around, they are

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: actually having to now modify their schedules. They're having to

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: break ice. That's how cold it is here. I'm actually

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: sitting here recording this with my hand like underneath my

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: legs to try and warm it. We've got the heat

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: blasting and I still can't feel warm. It's that's how

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: cold it is.

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 3: Wow, I off sweating.

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: Who knows, but where you are, we hope you are saying, Oh,

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm on this Wednesday morning, and thank you for joining

39
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: us for this morning is run. The run will take

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: us this morning to Ohio, to South Carolina, to Texas,

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: to Tel Aviv and yes, right here in New York City.

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: But we have to begin in Minneapolis, where robes I

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: spoke too soon. Yesterday seemed to be certainly a big

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: day and a big deal of what were positive developments.

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Even heard the word d escalate, come out of the

46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: president's mouth. But we spoke to soon because a town

47
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: hall meeting last night kind of changed things. This town

48
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: hall meeting is a representative ilhan Omar was making a

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: speech and was going to take questions and she was

50
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: attacked by a man who sprayed her with what's being

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: described as a strong smelling liquid. This was all caught

52
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: on camera. It's being called a syringe, but it was

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: coming out of a something that kind of a small

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: couple of squirts.

55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: Yes, it was some squirts. Yes, that's a weird word

56
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: to have to say at any point, but that's the

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: best way to describe it. Fifty five year old Anthony

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: kaz Merzak was sitting in the front row when you

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: see him, because this was all caught on camera, rushing

60
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: the congresswoman as she was saying that Christy No must

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: resign or face impeachment. So yes, he used a syringe

62
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: like thing to spray her shirt with the liquid, and

63
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 1: then within seconds security guard tackled him, handcuffed him. And

64
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: people have made note of how ilhan Omar reacted. She

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: didn't cower, she didn't get up, she chased after him.

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean, she was visibly upset. She raised a fist

67
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: to him even and within minutes was back of the

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: podium continuing her speech. She was physically unharmed, we should

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: point out.

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: Yes, and she did not go with the advice of

71
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: her security detail. Of course, now the man that was arrested,

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: he is now being charged on suspicion of assault. Didn't

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: notice this morning when I will up, at least the

74
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: number one trending topic on x was the word staged.

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: There are plenty of people out their robes and Well

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: immediately started saying that this was a staged event. She

77
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: did this on purpose.

78
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Yes, So there will be more to come with that situation,

79
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: but there was a lot more to talk about from Minneapolis,

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: a major shift in the narrative from the Trump administration,

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: which had been giving us hope and continues to still

82
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: offer much needed hope in that area. Trump officials are evalued.

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: You waiting right now why border agents, they say, may

84
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: not have been following protocol leading up to the fatal

85
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: shooting of Alex Preddy. So we now know from a

86
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: DHS investigation that two agents fired shots at Preddy, and

87
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: there was no mention in that report that Preddy attempted

88
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: to reach for his weapon in the scuffle. And that's

89
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: a major departure from those initial statements. We got that

90
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: called Preddy an assassin, a domestic terrorist who was out

91
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: to massacre federal agents.

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: And the President was in Iowa last night giving a speech.

93
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: He did make several comments there of Node, but he

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: did tell a crowd there that both of those killings

95
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: were terrible.

96
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: He said that goods death.

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: At one point said made it made him feel even

98
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: worse because her parents were tremendous Trump people. They were

99
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: Trump fans. Meantime, growing calls for Christy nom to resign

100
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: and if she doesn't, they want to move forward with impeachment.

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: More than one hundred and sixty co sponsors for impeaching

102
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: her right now, and Republicans, some at least publicly, have

103
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: come out and said they are in favor of her

104
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: not having her job either. Now the Congress is controlled

105
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: by Republicans, the chance of this impeachment actually happing are zero,

106
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: I should say, But the new chief the Borders are

107
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: Tom Holman is in town now in Minneapolis. He did

108
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: meet with the governor and Minneapolis mayor yesterday said their

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: conversations were productive, so at least they're talking and got

110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: to start somewhere, and this at least is a start,

111
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: maybe a deductive and.

112
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: Yes we'll take it, and yes, hoping for more de

113
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: escalation meantime though, next up on the Run, the death

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: toll continues to rise. It searched to forty two after

115
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: that massive winter storm blanketed most of the country. Tragic

116
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: stories are emerging from across the country. I was telling

117
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: you about this morning. It's just heartbreaking. There's one in particular.

118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: They're all heartbreaking. But three young brothers, ages six, eight,

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: and nine all died falling through a frozen pond. The

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: older two brothers died trying to save their younger brother.

121
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: But the big story remains this dangerously cold weather. The

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: temperatures are here to stay for most of the South,

123
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: the Midwest, in the Northeast through next week.

124
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: And get this, Nashville, they are warning parent out there.

125
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: They say they have treated nearly fifty children for carbon

126
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: monoxide exposure. They said this has happened since Sunday, which,

127
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: of course when the storm started hitting in that area.

128
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: Of families trying to heat their homes during the power

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 2: outages and roads, they're trying to heat them with these

130
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: space heaters and these gas heaters and things inside desperate

131
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: in moments, and this is happening. So meteorologists continue to

132
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: warn of now another potential storm this when they're calling

133
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: a nor'easter. We're starting to hear the phrase bomb cyclone

134
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: being thrown around. But they say it's brewing for this

135
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: weekend and could bring more snow ice to the South,

136
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: mid Atlantic and New England, exactly where we don't need

137
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: more of that stuff.

138
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, lucky, yes, all right. Next up on the run,

139
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: we're going to head to tell AVV. We're an area

140
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: that has been known for quite some time now as

141
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Hostages Square. Guess what, and this is a positive development.

142
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: It's now in need of a new name. The stopwatch

143
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: that had been a centerpiece of that square. It counted

144
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: every second since Hamas kidnapped those two hundred and fifty

145
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: one Israelis on October seventh, twenty twenty three. Well, it

146
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: was shut off last night. That's a big deal. It

147
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: happened in a ceremony, a somber ceremony, after the final

148
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: body of the last remaining hostage was returned this week.

149
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: So get this, folks, First time in twelve years, first

150
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: time in twelve years that there are no known Israeli

151
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: hostages in the Gaza Strip first time. It's twenty fourteen.

152
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: There is now talk of renaming the square to Returnees Square.

153
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: But this is a significant development. It's one thing for

154
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: the action to actually take place, but this was very symbolic.

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: We've been had our eyes on that spot for a

156
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: long time. Continuing on the run here now on this Wednesday,

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: getting new information and the Columbus double murder of that

158
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: Ohio dentist and his wife. New court docs show the

159
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: ex husband of Monique Tepi and thirty nine year old

160
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: Michael McKee is his name is the man police have

161
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: now charged with the murders of Spencer and Monique. He

162
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: told Monique he could quote kill her at any time

163
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: and would find her and buy the house right next

164
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: to her, and that she would always be his wife.

165
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: That is so frightening now. According to AffA David's in

166
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: the case that have just been released, McKee has been

167
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: described as being obsessed with his ex wife, despite the

168
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: fact that they divorced nearly a decade ago after a

169
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: very quick less than two year marriage. Now friends and

170
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: family of the couple said McKee had been abusive and

171
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: had made numerous threats on her life during and after

172
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: their marriage. One witness told investigators Monique claimed her ex

173
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: husband choked her and forced her to have unwanted sex

174
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: while they were married. Now a few weeks before the

175
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: murders were just learning about the security cameras reportedly captured

176
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: McKee going into the Teppe's home while they were at

177
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game in Indiana.

178
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah witnesses told police that Monique actually left that game early,

179
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 2: went back to the hotel before the end end of

180
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: the game. Husband told friends that she was upset about

181
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: something having to do with her ex husband. Monique An

182
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: Spencer Teppe were found dead December thirtieth. Their two young children,

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: one and four, were found in the home unharmed at

184
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: the time. Key has pleaded not guilty. He is a

185
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: vascular surgeon who was working at an Illinois hospital at

186
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: the time of his arrests all Right.

187
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run. The first execution of twenty

188
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty six is happening tonight in Texas. Fifty five year

189
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: old Charles Victor Thomas was convicted in the nineteen ninety

190
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: eight double murder of his ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend.

191
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: This is sounding eerily similar to the situation in the

192
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,359
Speaker 1: Teppe murders. Prosecutors say Thompson and Hayslip had been romantically

193
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: involved for a year, but then they broke up after

194
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: Thompson reportedly became increasingly possessive, jealous, and abusive. So now,

195
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: nearly thirty years after those murders, Thompson is scheduled to

196
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: die by lethal injection tonight. He was convicted of killing

197
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: Denise Hayslip and Darren kine H.

198
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: Thompson also made headlines twenty years ago when he escaped

199
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: from jail during a retrial of his case. His case

200
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: subject of an episode of the Netflix docuseries I Am

201
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: a Killer. Hayslip's son, the victim's son, who is thirteen

202
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: at the time of the murder, says he plans to

203
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: be among the witnesses at tonight's execution.

204
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: Yes, he has already traveled from his home of Chicago

205
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: down to Texas to be there for tonight's execution. All right,

206
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: next up on the run. There are now seven hundred

207
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: and eighty nine documented cases of measles in South Carolina,

208
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and eighty nine of those cases were just confirmed in

209
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the past few days. That number is significant because it

210
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: surpasses last year's West Texas outbreak that sickned seven hundred

211
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: and sixty two people and killed two children. Now, most

212
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: of these cases are in the Spartanburg area of South

213
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Carolina and are among unvaccinated people, the majority of them

214
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: children and teenagers YEA.

215
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: At least twenty three schools in the state have students

216
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: in quarantine. Health officials say the outbreak is not onunder control.

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: Started last fall and now known cases directly linked to

218
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: South Carolina go as far as California, as well as

219
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Washington and maybe Ohio as well. We did

220
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: report the US now at risk of losing its measles

221
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: elimination status. I can't remember how long, at least twenty

222
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: five plus years. I believe, yes, they've had that. Yes,

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: So the way they determine that is if they find

224
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: out that these strings are linked over the course of

225
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: a year. So I guess Texas is where this all started,

226
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: and that one kind of tamped down. But now if

227
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: that one is found to be linked to South Carolina

228
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 2: and these others, so it's a big deal. Measles is

229
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: not something we're supposed to be dealing.

230
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: With yes, And of course anyone who has been studying

231
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: this latest measles outbreak has said that absolutely this has

232
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: to do with folks lower vaccination rates in specific communities

233
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: and that is the cause for this outbreak.

234
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: Folks, will stay with us here on this Wednesday Morning

235
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: Run when we come back, shut down the NFL Hall

236
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: of Fame. It's pointless, it has no point because they

237
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: just said Bill Belichick doesn't deserve a spot in the

238
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. We'll explain this uproar also coming up here.

239
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: Oh wait, what's this next one? I can't go Yeah,

240
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: final leg of the run. Yeah, folks, I didn't put

241
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: together the rundown today. I'm completely lost. But when we

242
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: come back, I'll try to make sense of it and

243
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: tell you the end date for Stephen Colbert Show.

244
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Wednesday Morning Run. And this is

245
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: a headline you will see everywhere. It's being called a

246
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: shocker in the NFL, and it is garnering significant reaction

247
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: from just about everybody. I did as you just heard

248
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: Tjsay put together in the morning Run today, and I'm

249
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: not so keen on putting sports stories in here, but

250
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: this one was glaring and felt like a necessary story

251
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: in today's morning run, Bill Belichick is not getting into

252
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He didn't get the

253
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: necessary votes he needed. I think he needed forty out

254
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: of fifty, and this was his first year of eligibility.

255
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: So that's why this is such a big deal.

256
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: He'll get other chances. But you've heard that phrase before,

257
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: first ballot Hall of Famer. There are just some things.

258
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: You don't know anything about the basketball Hall of Fame,

259
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: but you know the first chance that Michael Jordan gets

260
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: to go in, he's going to go in. That kind

261
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: of a thing, Bill bet there's nothing to talk about.

262
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: The only debate is if he's the greatest coach ever,

263
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: not whether or not he's good enough to get into

264
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. This is embarrassing. Shut it down.

265
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: It's completely pointless. They are arguing that people are trying

266
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: to punish him for Spygate and deflate Gate.

267
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: Wow do you remember those? Yes, that's the argument.

268
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: Or they're trying to punish him because they don't like

269
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: because he's dating somebody who is fifty years younger, or

270
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: they don't like him because he's a rough, gruff dude.

271
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: He wasn't nice to the press. Get out of here.

272
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: There is not a single soul, a single soul. You

273
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: included robes. You don't follow NFL that closely, No, you know,

274
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: good in hell well who Bill Belichick is?

275
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: Yes? Stop, eight times super Bowl champ, three hundred and

276
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty three career wins.

277
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: Stats don't even matter at this point because you know

278
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is, you know, this dude coached his

279
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: way into six NFL Super Bowl championships, got two as

280
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator with the New York Giant, and it

281
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: has nothing to explain.

282
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: But this is pettiness.

283
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, petty, and that's and that does call into

284
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: question the credibility of the entire agreed and there it is. Look,

285
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that much about professional football,

286
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: but I do know the names of Patrick Mahomes, JJ Watt,

287
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: and Troy Aikman, and they all, I mean, among so

288
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: many others. But I put these reactions from them on

289
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: x just because they stood out to me as a

290
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: non sports insider. Patrick Mahomes said, insane. Don't even understand

291
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: how this could be possible. JJ Watt said, I can't

292
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: be reading this right. This has to be some knock

293
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: off Hall of Fame or something. It can't be the

294
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: actual NFL Hall of Fame. There is not a single

295
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: world whatsoever in which Bill Belichick should not be a

296
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: first ballot Hall of Famer.

297
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: It's nothing to talk about. They're trying to make some point.

298
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: But it wasn't just one or two knuckleheads out of

299
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: fifty people. So they're saying the numbers. Eleven out of

300
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: fifty people whose job it is to focus on the

301
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: NFL believe that Bill Belichick doesn't deserve to go into

302
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame, at least not yet. What's going

303
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: to change nothing?

304
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: So this was a like a direct FU snub.

305
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: There it is. Thank you, you put it in better, thank you.

306
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: It was an FU to Bill Belichick. Okay, wow, So

307
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: to your point, credibility is shot.

308
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you can't let those factors take away from

309
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: this what the Hall of Fame is.

310
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: Okay?

311
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: Sorry, all right, And for the final leg of our run,

312
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I should have had a more uplifting last couple of stories,

313
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: but unfortunately these are the time. It's The Late Show

314
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: now has an official end date. Stephen Colbert announced his

315
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: final day on The Late Show will be May twenty. First,

316
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: he shared the news last night when he appeared on

317
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: Late Night with Seth Myers, and he said, it feels

318
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: real now.

319
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said what he's going to miss most the people.

320
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: He said, it's really the people. That's really what I

321
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: care about. That's really what I'm going to miss more

322
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: than anything. This comes six months after Cobel revealed this

323
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: was a shocker. He announced that they decided to just

324
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: take him off the show. They are ending the show,

325
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: So the show is going to go away starting in

326
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: May after three decades. Obviously, he can't imagine what those

327
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: ratings will be in April and May. Oh my goodness,

328
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: can you imagine his lineup? Everybody's going to stop by.

329
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be a powerful month of the show.

330
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: But still I get it. Look, we talk about not

331
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: missing the grind or not missing a lot of things

332
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: about our time on a morning show and network news,

333
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: but we miss the people every day that resonated with me.

334
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: I get it, Like, those are the things, those are

335
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: the moments you miss. Yeah.

336
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to upset you here, but I did

337
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: get teary eyed with his story this morning, because he

338
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: is getting something we didn't. He is getting several months. Yeah,

339
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: we're getting prepared to say goodbye. I think about how

340
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: we were yanked out of something and we never got

341
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: a change, not even not viewers.

342
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: Sure, but.

343
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: We didn't get to say goodbye.

344
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 2: But there are most people we ain't ever seen and

345
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: might never see again, that we didn't get to say

346
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: goodbye to.

347
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: So good for him. He gets this and we'll see

348
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: how that goes.

349
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And by the way, Paramont said, it had

350
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Colbert and had nothing to do

351
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: with the editorial content of his show. It was simply

352
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: a financial decision. But you know what, I am looking

353
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: forward to seeing what Stephen Colbert is going to produce

354
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: over the next four months or so. And good for

355
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: him to have a wonderful send off. Okay, quote of

356
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: the day before we let you go? How about this?

357
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: No one can destroy iron but its own rust can. Likewise,

358
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: no one can destroy a person but his own mindset.

359
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: Can I get that idea?

360
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: We talk about this all the time, Gabby Burns steay,

361
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to reach out to Gabby as soon as

362
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: because we talk about her so.

363
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Long, do we talk about her daily?

364
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: I think I think we might But something she always

365
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: reminds me of we talked to her about it's in you.

366
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: You always think something on the outside is the thing

367
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: that's upsetting you or destroying you even but oftentimes it

368
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: is your mindset. It's how you view what's coming at you.

369
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, the iron and the rust, I get where

370
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 2: they're going with it.

371
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I do think it's helpful anytime. All of

372
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: us have bad days, tough days, and it's so easy

373
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: to blame, maybe even the person who's closest to you.

374
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: But if you can look and say, all right, how

375
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: am I making myself miserable? And that is very empowering.

376
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate that I looked at that and said, you

377
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: know what, I can take something away from that, So

378
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: I hope you all can too.

379
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: So next time you're upset with me, look internally.

380
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: That is what I have been doing. No one can

381
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: destroy iron, but its own rust can. Likewise, no one

382
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,239
Speaker 1: can destroy a person but his own mindset can. And

383
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: with that everyone, we hope you think positive thoughts here

384
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: on this blustery Wednesday. Thank you for running with us.

385

Speaker 1: As always, I'm Amy Robots and.

386
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: I'm DJ Holmes. We will be talking to you also
