Speaker 3: people from military service. Also, President Trump offers assistance and

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: an insult to former President Obama, all in the same breath.

16

00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: But it gets worse. It fell off the exact same

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: aircraft carrier.

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,360

Speaker 1: the size of its whoppers.

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: Plus, there won't be a Triple Crown winner this year

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: because the Kentucky Derby winner is skipping the Preakness next weekend.

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: But why And I can't even believe I'm excited about

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: this story. Love Island USA returns for season seven. We

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: are just a few weeks away. I blame U Robes

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: for this, but yes, I'm become a weird. I don't

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: even hate watch.

37
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: It's a guilty pleasure. Yes, there it is. We can't

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: wait to get to that.

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: But we begin our Wednesday morning in Rome, where the

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: conclave is about to officially get underway. While most of

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: you were sleeping, the Cardinals began their day by attending

42
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: a mass in Saint Peter's Basilica.

43
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: We've been watching. It was beautiful to watch the.

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've seen masks before. You just don't usually

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: see all the cardinals like any mass I've been to

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: of course didn't look like that.

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: But it was beautiful place also, Yeah, Saint Peter's Basilica.

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: It's just a gorgeous place to watch and it's the

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: beginning of oh so much more.

50
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it won't be until later today. It's going

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: to be around four to thirty local time, ten thirty

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: am Eastern time. The cardinals are going to say a prayer,

53
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: head over to the Sistine Chapel. Doors are going to

54
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: be locked, and those one hundred and thirty three cardinals

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: who are eligible to vote will be inside just them.

56
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: They will all swear an oath of.

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Secrecy, and then around five pm Local time, that's eleven

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: am Eastern time, the cardinals will cast their first vote.

59
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: And that's when the fun for all of us begins,

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: because we'll all be staring at that newly installed chimney

61
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: on top of the Sistine Chapel. The cardinals have to

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: come to a two thirds majority in order to elect

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: a new pope.

64
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: So you know how this goes. Now, black smoke coming

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: from the chimney. That means no pope has been chosen

66
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: and the voting will go on. You see white smoke,

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: that means we got a new one. If you're trying

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: to gauge when you should start staring at this chimney. Well,

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: the two conclaves the previous to the first vote resulted

70
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: in black smoke. That was around eight o'clock local times,

71
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: so that would be early afternoon for us. Nobody expects

72
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: there to be a pope chosen on that first vote.

73
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: Yes, so yes, if what we all believe to be

74
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: true will happen, no pope is elected today. Tomorrow there

75
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: will be four more chances, two votes in the morning

76
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: and two votes in the afternoon.

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: So no what we're going to be looking at.

78
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: And if there is no new pope after three days,

79
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: the cardinals take a twenty four hour break to reflect

80
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: before resuming voting. And by the way, no conclave has

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: lasted more than four days since eighteen thirty one.

82
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: Right, we'll continue here on this very busy Wednesday morning.

83
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: Ron and two nuclear armed nations are on the brink

84
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: of a large scale conflict, and that's something everybody needs

85
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: to set up and pay attention to. This is a

86
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: very tense time right now. For longtime adversaries India and Pakistan,

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: after India launched air strikes Wednesday against Pakistan.

88
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: India claims the strikes were in response to a terror

89
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: attack last month. Twenty six people killed in that attack

90
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: when a gunman stormed an area that was popular with

91
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Indian tourists. Now, India blamed Pakistan for the attack, but

92
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: Pakistan denies any involvement.

93
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: Still, India claims its air strikes were aimed at terrorist infrastructure,

94
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: but Pakistan claims civilians were killed and it's called the

95
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: air strikes an act of war. Pakistan now claims it

96
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: has shot down at least five Indian fighter jets. So

97
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: this is where we are. The two countries, of course,

98
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: have lived in a state of heightened tensions since they

99
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: gained independence from Britain back in nineteen forty seven over

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 3: disputed land. They have fought several wars in their history.

101
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: And again, when you talk about nuclear powers going at it,

102
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: the whole world is paying attention.

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: They certainly are. We're gonna head a back home to

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: this country. Next up on the run and a legal

105
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: win for President Trump and a major setback for transgender rights.

106
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: In a six to three decision, the Supreme Court granted

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Trump's emergency request that allows him to implement his ban

108
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: on all transgender people serving in the military.

109
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that ban has been blocked by lower courts as

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: they considered several lawsuits against the ban. One of the

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: plane of suing to block this thing from going into

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: place said that the Supreme Court ruling quote is a

113
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: devastating blow to transgender service members who have demonstrated their

114
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: capabilities and commitment to our nation's defents.

115
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: And another group representing transgender service members said Trump's policy

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with military readiness and everything to

117
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: do with prejudice.

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: All right, we'll continue on the run now in DC.

119
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: President Trump has extended a very kind offer to former

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: President Obama. He offered to help him finish building his

121
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: presidential library in Chicago.

122
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: Is dripping with sarcasm. I love it, Yes, so I'll continue.

123
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: What a kind gesture. But wait for it, that kind

124
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: gesture was actually wrapped in an insult. President Trump was

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: meeting in the Oval Office with new Canadian Prime Minister

126
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: talking about other things, when, for whatever reason, he took

127
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: a turn to the ongoing construction of Obama's presidential library.

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is what Trump offered quote, I mean, look,

129
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: President Obama, and if he wanted help, I give him

130
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: help because I build on time and on budget. He's

131
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: building his presidential library in Chicago. It's a disaster. End quote.

132
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: Oh no, But he wasn't done.

133
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: No. He went on to say that Obama quote said

134
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: something to the effect I only want DEI I only

135
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: want woke.

136
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: He wants woke people to build it.

137
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Well, he got woke people and they have massive cost overruns.

138
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: The job is stopped. I don't know, it's a disaster.

139
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: It's not clear why he chose that moment with the

140
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Canadian Prime Minister to talk about President or Obama.

141
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: Yes, the library had nothing to do with nothing, as

142
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 3: we say, But the Obama Foundation did hear about this.

143
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 3: They did respond saying it's all good here and they

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: look forward to the library opening next year. However, do

145
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: need to note this Trump was not totally wrong in

146
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: his assessment of what's been happening with the Chicago Library

147
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 3: for President Obama. If you've seen some of the headlines,

148
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: really over the years, they were several years behind and

149
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: even starting construction, and the cost overruns have hit hundreds

150
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars. It is being funded privately, so

151
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: these aren't taxpayer dollars. But still it's had these issues

152
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: and they've also faced lawsuits. They faced lawsuits about racial

153
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: discrimination against some of the subcontractors. It's been a bit

154
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: of a mess. And the Wall Street Journal reports this

155
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: is the longest stretch we've ever seen of the end

156
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: of a presidency and the opening of a presidential library.

157
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: So he's not totally wrong.

158
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, shocking that he would point it out, all right,

159
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: next up on our run, let's uh, we're talking about

160
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: President Trump. So he cut their funding and now one

161
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: university says it's cutting jobs as a direct result.

162
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking about one hundred and eighty employees at

163
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: Columbia University. They're losing their jobs after the university lost

164
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: four hundred million dollars in federal funding. The President cut

165
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: the schools funding like he has at other elite schools,

166
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: claiming that the school did not do enough to stop

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: anti semitism during campus protests over the Israel Hamas War.

168
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Columbia says the employees being cut are funded in some

169
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: way through those federal grants. It's not clear if more

170
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: layoffs are coming, but the school has been negotiating with

171
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, and they've also sued the administration as well.

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: Some more to come on that.

173
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: So the argument here, they say, even if the money

174
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: comes back instantly, you've done so much damage it would

175
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: take years to kind of restart what is going to

176
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: be stopped now. So that's direct results now of the

177
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: cuts being made. We will continue here on our run now.

178
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: And the US Navy they must have fighter jets to

179
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: spare because they keep just dropping them in the ocean

180
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: at an alarming rate.

181
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: For the second time in about a week, an Fa

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: eighteen fighter jet just fell off the side of an

183
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: aircraft carrier.

184
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: But get this, it's the same.

185
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: Aircraft carrier where another fighter jet was lost when it

186
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: also fell off the side of the ship last week.

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: Okay, let's talky about this latest incident. It was just

188
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: yesterday and according to the military, the jet was attempting

189
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: to land on the USS Truman when it failed to

190
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: catch the wire. Now there's a tail hook on the plane.

191
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: These things, of course, are going at incredible speeds and

192
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: you're landing on an aircraft carrier. You got to stop

193
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: pretty quickly. So there's a hook on the back of

194
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: the plane. It's supposed to catch a wire that's on

195
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: the aircraft carrier. It's necessary to slow the plane down.

196
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: The best reference roads I have is the first Top Gun.

197
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: You saw a lot of this in that opening scene.

198
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: You literally see how that happens. That's probably the only

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: time any of us will actually get to see that.

200
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 3: But put that reference in your head.

201
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: That's what happened.

202
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Well, that didn't happen like what you saw on Top Gun.

203
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: And instead of slowing down or coming to a stop,

204
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: the plane he just kept going right off the side.

205
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: Of the aircraft carrier and into the water.

206
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: Thankfully, there were only minor injuries because the aviators were

207
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: able to eject in time. And yes, another jet fell

208
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: off the side last week when the crew lost control

209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: of the aircraft was being towed. That seventy million dollars

210
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: plane went off the side and into the water as well. Yeah,

211
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: a graveyard of FA eighteen's in the ocean.

212
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: That has somebody's got a they're investigating all incidents. Somebody's

213
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: got a loose. You cannot lose two seventy million dollar

214
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: planes in a week just by dropping them.

215
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: There's going to be consequence.

216
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: All right, We will continue here on our run now

217
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: with music legend Smokey Robinson. He is faking, facing rather

218
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: heinous allegations in a new lawsuit brought by four women

219
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: who once worked for him.

220
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: Those women have filed a fifty million dollar lawsuit accusing

221
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: the Motown legend of being a quote sick and serial rapist.

222
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: The women are former housekeepers who claimed that between two

223
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: thousand and seven and twenty twenty four, they were sexually

224
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: assaulted and raped repeatedly by Robinson at his La home.

225
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

226
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: Two of the women claim in this lawsuit they were

227
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: raped on more than twenty occasions. Smoking Robinson's wife, Francis,

228
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: is also named in the suit, claiming she was aware

229
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: of the assaults, but also accused her of harassment and

230
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: labor violations.

231
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: The women filed the lawsuit as Jane Does one through four,

232
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: but they attended a press conference yesterday announcing the lawsuit,

233
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: but they did have their faces covered with masks. Robinson

234
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: is now eighty five years old, and yeah, he's Motown Royalty.

235
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: This is shocking and disturbing and just Icky.

236
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: Can I ask? I want to ask you because it's

237
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: always Jane Doe, Jane do Jane do in a lot

238
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 3: of lawsuits. They are a Jane Doe. But they attended

239
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 3: that press conference. Yes, they had like surgical you know,

240
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: COVID masks. Think of it like that. What it said

241
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: to me in the moment and what it says to

242
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: you if anything. That they did physically show up in

243
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: front camera.

244
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, they wanted in the best way it could by

245
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: still preserving their anonymity, say here we are and yes

246
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: we're real and this isn't frivolous.

247
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: I mean that was probably the point of them.

248
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: Yes, attending the next lego bar run, Now takes us

249
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: to Pittsburgh. Got a follow up on that Pirates fan

250
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: who had that frightening fall from the stands last week.

251
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kevin Markwood was critically injured after falling twenty feet

252
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: onto the field at panc Park during the Pittsburgh Pirate

253
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs game. Markwood's family announced that he has taken

254
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: his first steps after breaking his neck, his clavicle, and

255
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: his back.

256
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: His girlfriend's mom posted online that he still has a

257
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: long way to go, but wrote that he's showing real

258
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: strength and that the family is staying hopeful for a

259
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: smooth recover.

260
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: Mark Wood's fall has been ruled an accident, and a

261
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: woman who was sitting next to him in the stands

262
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: when he fell says he just got really excited during

263
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: a play, saying the momentum from him jumping up in

264
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: his seat literally catapulted his body over the railing. And

265
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: that makes sense based on what we saw, because we

266
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: watched this and I thought he jumped like I thought

267
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: maybe he threw himself over to delberately, So when she

268
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: says he got catapulted, that makes sense because there really

269
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: was force behind it.

270
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: Somebody's getting sued. This should not be possible. You should

271
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 3: not be able to just jump up and follow you.

272
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: You just terrible. You can't, can't, can't, can't do that.

273
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: But it's good to hear he is making some strides.

274
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: But stay with us here on this Wednesday morning, Ron,

275
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: when we come back, Burger King is being sued. Why

276
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: the whopper ain't as big as they said it is? Also,

277
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: we will not have a triple crown winner. How do

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: we know that already? And I'm ready below. Well we

279
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: continue now on this Wednesday morning, Ron and Burger King

280
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: is going to have to defend the Whopper in court.

281
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: The company has been sued over claims it has wrongly,

282
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: fraudulently been telling all of us for years that the

283
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: Whopper is bigger than its competitors Burgers. I know what

284
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: you're thinking, Yeah, yeah, this is another frivolous lawsuit that's

285
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: not going anywhere.

286
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. But here's the thing. That's what Burger Thing thought

287
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: as well, and was trying to get the case thrown

288
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: out of court. But yesterday a judge ruled the case

289
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 3: has enough merit to go for it, and now Burger

290
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: King is going to have to defend its actions in court.

291
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: But what exactly did the plaintiffs take issue with.

292
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: They claim that Burger King advertises with images of the

293
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: Whopper with oversized patties that have the toppings spilling out

294
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: of the buns. But they say, you know what, that

295
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: gives a false impression. Yeah.

296
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: The nineteen people who sue say they want Burger King

297
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: to take corrective action, and they want to recoup all

298
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: money that the company earned through their false advertising.

299
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Burger King's response is somewhat hilarious for its simplicity and

300
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: common sense sentiment.

301
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: This is what they said.

302
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: Reasonable consumers know that the entire point of menu boards

303
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: is to make items look as appetizing as possible. This

304
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: isn't consumer fraud. It's quarter pounds of flame grilled beef

305
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: in the stores and in the pictures. But yes, they

306
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: are style more beautifully than a minimum wage worker at

307
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: your local burger king might put it together.

308
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: That's we know, that's true.

309
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: Yes, that's it.

310
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: They say.

311
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: It's the same one in the picture as the same

312
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: one you're eating in the store. And what minimum wage

313
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: worker at your local burger king is going to take

314
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: time and make it as pretty as they do in

315
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: the commercial? Nobody is now. McDonald's and Wendy's have faced

316
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: similar lawsuits over the years, but those have actually been

317
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: thrown out. So people are paying attention here now because

318
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: it's allowed to go forward. But how how I don't

319
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: know how this fos.

320
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: You should sue everybody you've ever dated exactly because the

321
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 4: first date they looked the great, But in two months

322
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: at six am in the morning, hmmm, sweete, there was

323
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: some false advertising.

324
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: Wow you went there? Okay, next stup on our run.

325
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: There won't be a triple Crown winner.

326
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: The Kentucky Derby was just over the weekend, So how

327
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: do we already know that no horse is going to

328
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: win the triple Crown.

329
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: Because the derby winner won't be running in the Preakness. Sakes,

330
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: that's the second jewel in the triple crown. Sovereignty is

331
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: the horse being kept out of the next race because

332
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: his owners say it's what's in the best long term

333
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: interest of the horse.

334
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: Instead, they're going to skip the Preakness and enter a

335
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: sovereignty in the Belmont Stakes, which is June seventh and

336
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: upstate New York. The Preakness is, I believe, just next weekend,

337
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: so it's two weeks apart from the Kentucky Derby, and

338
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: some people will just say, hey, that's too quick of

339
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: a turnaround. So they've advocated for moving the Preakness, but

340
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: it's not happening this year. So yes, Sovereignty will skip

341
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: the Preakness.

342
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: It's always fun to see that. Yeah, so I probably

343
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: won't watch another horse race this year. I only watch

344
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: the next one to see if that horse is going

345
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: to win, and then the next one. So that's too bad.

346
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: But I didn't realize such a turnaround like that.

347
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: I didn't realize. Yeah, too hard on the horses.

348
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: Hard right next up on the run here, our next

349
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: leg takes us to the Great White Way, where we

350
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: have a new record. For the first time in the

351
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: history of Broadway a show has grossed four million dollars

352
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: in one week.

353
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: Good Night and good Luck is that new play co

354
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: written by and starring George Klooney, and last week the

355
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: show brought in four million, three thousand, four hundred and

356
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: eighty two dollars. The record breaking week comes on the

357
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: heels of five Tony nominations for the play, including one

358
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: for Clooney for Best Performance by a Leading Actor.

359
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: Good Night, good Luck is about the legendary showdown between

360
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Golden

361
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: Age of journalism. It was already the highest grossing play

362
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: in Broadway history. The show was playing at the Winter

363
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: Garden Theater. Average ticket price this was curious to me.

364
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: How do you end up with four million? Your average

365
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 3: ticket price? It was about three hundred and twenty bucks.

366
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: All right.

367
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: For the final leg of our run, we got a text.

368
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Anyone who knows what we're referencing is going to be

369
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: interested in this final story. Peacock has just announced that

370
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: Love Island USA is back and in just a matter

371
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: of weeks.

372
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Season seven is going to premiere on June third.

373
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: Ariana Maddox from vander Pup rules she's back as host.

374
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 4: And then Ian.

375
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: Sterling is that I didn't know his name. That he's

376
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: the snarky British narrator. So he does the voice over.

377
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 4: He is hilarious.

378
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: That's your favorite part of it. He makes fun of

379
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: all the contestants, but not in a mean way, but

380
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: in a really funny way.

381
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and the show is going to air new episodes

382
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: every day except Wednesday. Islanders are going to compete for

383
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 3: love on Love Island Fiji. They've done it there before.

384
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, And then Casa Amoor is coming back

385
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: to But that's some inside baseball, so I'll move on.

386
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: If you're missing some of the Islanders from previous seasons,

387
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: you're in luck. This is of interest to me. Peacock

388
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: recently announced a new spin off. It's called Love Island

389
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: USA Beyond the Villa. It follows former Islanders around Los

390
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: Angeles and their everyday lives with all of their newfound fame.

391
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: And I looked at some of the cast. It's all

392
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: the people we know in Love from last season. So

393
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: but Cordell from you know, Swinging the everyone apparently this

394
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: is a trend. People were going to Grand Central or

395
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: different train stations or wherever they would have a suitcase

396
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: with him and doing that spin that Cordell did at

397
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: the beginning of the last season.

398
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: That opening number.

399
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: Drew me in. I think that's what made me a.

400
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: Fan of the show Ready for Love.

401
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: It's a cultural phenomenon. So congrats on what they pull off.

402
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: I don't want them to start watering it down too much.

403
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: I got it to spin off and a spin off,

404
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: and a spin off and a spin off. But do

405
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 3: you think congratulations and it's coming back. But before you go,

406
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: before we go, and in this Rune wants you to

407
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: take our quote of the day with you. Something we'd

408
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: like for you to consider.

409
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: If you can't be thankful for what you have, at

410
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: least be thankful for what you've escaped.

411
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: Thank you Lord. I love that one right there. Oh,

412
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: I love that quote.

413
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: Look at all the things you think you you want.

414
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: You don't have.

415
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 4: I'm not grateful with this you want.

416
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: You're not grateful for what is in your life right now. Man,

417
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: Look behind you, look at that stuff that you got

418
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: away from you, whether it's illness, a bad relationship, a

419
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: bad job. You overcome so much. I love this quote.

420
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what you didn't get is a lot of

421
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: people would say God's way, the Universe's way of saying,

422
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: it's what you didn't need and you didn't even know it.

423
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes what we want isn't what we need.

424
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: So I love this quote too. It's a good reminder.

425
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: It's all about perspective, ain't it.

426
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: If you can't be thankful for what you have, at

427
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: least be thankful for what you've escaped. And with that, everyone,

428
