00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run.

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: Happy Christmas Eve everyone. It is Wednesday, December twenty fourth.

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Robots and.

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: I'm TJ Holmes. I should have looked this up ahead

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: of time. How many people in the country are one

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: gift on Christmas Eve?

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: People?

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. My family always has been because us

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: kids were persistent and relentless. Please please please can we

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: have one gift on Christmas Eve?

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: Nail out? So that's my tradition to dropt.

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: It is it ISAs a lot of people do that.

14
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 3: I have never done that growing up.

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I also think maybe when you go to different families

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: or you have more like I remember that. Part of

17
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: the tradition came about because we would go to one

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: grandparents house on one night and then the next one

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, so we would always get to open

20
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: a couple presents on Christmas Eve, which was exciting.

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be really exciting because the best

22
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: present on this Christmas Eve somebody might open and around

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock because that's when the powerball drawing it. Ah, Yes,

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: this is going to be sweet. It's going to be poetic,

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be awesome that actually we waited all

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: this time and somebody is going to win one point

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: seven billion dollars tonight. I'm predicting that this is going

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: to be the one that's a sweet Christmas Eve store.

29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: You think it's going to be the Christmas miracle that

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: at least that one person needed, but maybe that we

31
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: all need to see because it makes me smile. Just

32
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: see sleetly transformed in all the good ways.

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's going to be really cool. But a

34
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: great Christmas Eve gift somebody possibly going to open tonight.

35
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: We will get into what's happening with the powerball. A

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: lot of things to get to, but I wanted to

37
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: start with this. Look, a lot of people on the road, still,

38
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: a lot of you have gotten to your destination already,

39
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: but weather is still going to be kind of a

40
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: big deal. And I saw this from the Weather Channel.

41
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: I couldn't put this any better. I couldn't believe this

42
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: was their headline. Excuse me. It was the first line

43
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: in which you go to their page and they have

44
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: a whole Christmas weather section and it says, by far,

45
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: the biggest travel headaches will be in the West, but

46
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: there could be a sneaky travel headache in parts of

47
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: the West too. In short, you should not travel on

48
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve or Christmas in California.

49
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: Okay, should not. Well, that's not an option for a

50
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: lot of folks they have to travel.

51
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: But I thought it was a serious enough warning. They're

52
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 2: letting you know it's that bad. We know you don't

53
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: have a choice to get to but you should not

54
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: do it. And we're talking about torrential rains out there.

55
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: They've been dealing with some weather for the past couple

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: of days, but it is I think the worst of

57
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: it is today, Christmas Eve and tomorrow.

58
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: The entire coast that is so unfortunate.

59
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: It's getting torrential rains, flash flooding. That just sucks. The

60
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: Northeast is going to be spared for the most part.

61
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Are going to get some light precipitation, some light snow.

62
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: But they say there's some fog and some warmer air

63
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: messing around up in the atmosphere. It is going to

64
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: cause foggy conditions, so you could which is dangerous weather delays.

65
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: So heads up there as far as flights go, that

66
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: could cause some problems.

67
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they even said Friday because people a lot

68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: of people travel after Christmas the day after Christmas here

69
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: in the Northeast. At least, we've got a big system

70
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: that could bring snow and ice and sleet and all.

71
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: We're traveling on Friday, so good luck to us as well.

72
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: That's your update on weather. The update on spending. A

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: lot of you maybe still have a couple of things

74
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: to get, hopefully not and you're not stressed right now.

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: But we have been spending more. Given all ropes we

76
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: have seen this year, uncertainty about the economy, go back

77
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: to tariffs and things going all this, Americans are still

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: spending more money.

79
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: We spent more. I definitely can say yes, that is true.

80
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: In fact, we have a whole podcast in my potential

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: guilt shopping. But yeah, but look, it's good for the economy.

82
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully people were smart about their spending and they can

83
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: afford what they purchased. But that's always a problem after

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the fact when the bills come in. But hey, I'm

85
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: sure retailers are happy because that's not maybe what we

86
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: were expecting.

87
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: And these numbers came to us from Visa through their survey,

88
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: but they say yes, retail spending up four point two percent. Now,

89
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: POD guess I don't know if I was surprised by

90
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: this or not, but the split. As I'm talking to

91
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: you all, you know the answer here, But I wonder, folks,

92
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: what would you guess is the split of in store

93
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: sales versus online sales?

94
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: Did that surprise you?

95
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Yes, this is surprising to me. So according to Visa,

96
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: seventy three percent of sales are still in store sales,

97
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent were online sales. I would have thought

98
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: the online was greater, namely because I guess I'm looking

99
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: at our shopping habits. I was even talking to my

100
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: mom yesterday, who said, yeah, I just pretty much did

101
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: everything online versus years past, where look, there is something fun.

102
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: We like going into the brick and mortars. We like

103
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: having the experience of holiday shopping. There was something festive

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and fun. Even if it's frenetic and busy, it still

105
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: kind of creates an atmosphere. So maybe that's why people

106
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: this time of year kind of like to be a

107
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: part of things.

108
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: It surprised me as well that, well, I shouldn't surprise me.

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: Half of the folks they surveyed so they are using

110
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: AI to shop. What it's a We should be surprised.

111
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: We use it for everything else. But folks are trying

112
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: to are asking AI about the perfect gift, are asking

113
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: for suggestions about gifts for their loved ones, and they

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: say have are using it to shop?

115
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: Does that include a Google search or is this specifically

116
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: using a chatbot?

117
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: This is the only way they put it. But yeah,

118
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: I mean even if you put in a Google search

119
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: and you see the answer uptop is an AI answer.

120
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are well, okay, then I used that. Then

121
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: I did use that.

122
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: To get a gift suggestion.

123
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my, I absolutely did.

124
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: We got an AI Christmas happening here at the Robot

125
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: Holmes House.

126
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Huh, yes it was. It was not for you.

127
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: Well, folks, those are your Christmas at least updates.

128
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: We got a couple of other things we need to

129
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: get out this morning, certainly about Epstein. There's a nursing

130
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: home explosion, a tragedy, a catastrophe is how they're putting

131
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: it there to update your about happening in Pennsylvania. Also,

132
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: Diddy is trying to get out of prison again, and

133
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court gave Donald Trump a loss yesterday.

134
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: We will explain.

135
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: All right, But next up on the run, we want

136
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: to talk about so many other issues that are going

137
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: on here, including that Epstein dump that we talked about

138
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: as well, So we'll get into all of that, all.

139

00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: is that involved sophisticated premeditation, he said, and a lot

159
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 2: of planning went into this. I was debated about sharing.

160
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: We didn't even want to put this story in the rundown,

161
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, but just wanted to give

162
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: the update because folks have been looking for this little

163
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: girl and to find out her mom is now response

164
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: when they say, yes, the girl was shocked.

165
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Yes, this beautiful little girl. Her picture has been everywhere

166
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: if you go anywhere online, it's a constant story. So

167
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: it is a tragic ending that everyone was hoping wouldn't

168
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: be the case. Unfortunately, just a sad, terrible story with

169
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: literally no explanation. There's no motive behind this tragedy. But

170
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: next up on the run. At least two people are dead,

171
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: five others are unaccounted for at this hour. This all

172
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: happened after an explosion at a nursing home in Pennsylvania.

173
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: And this place is about twenty miles northeast of Philadelphia,

174
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy four bed facility. It's called the

175
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: Bristol Health and Rehab Center. But the governor there said,

176
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: this is just a catastrophic event. There was, they say,

177
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: a gas company checking out a gas leak next door

178
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: to the place when the explosion happened. There was a

179
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: follow up, a smaller explosion after authorities got to the

180
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: scene as well. But they described a harrowing scene in

181
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: which firefighters were literally carrying people on their backs and

182
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: handing them off to police officers trying to save. Another

183
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: awful event is that the floors collapsed down into the basement.

184
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 2: Apparently there was a water leak, and they said, actually

185
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: people were drowning in the damn building.

186
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

187
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: So this was an awful scene. But two dead, another

188
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: five unaccounted for. They don't know for sheer ropes. Those

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: five maybe they left with they're hoping that maybe we

190
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: just don't know where.

191
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: They are and maybe they're not in there.

192
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: As terrible as that all sounds, it could have been

193
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: worse than one hundred and seventy four bed facilities. So

194
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: there were quite a number of folks in there. And

195
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: this is about twenty miles northeast of Philly. So obviously

196
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: this is a developing story and we'll keep our eye

197
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: on that. Next up on the run, something we've been

198
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: keeping our eye on for well, you could say years now,

199
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: but specifically in the last couple of days, we've been

200
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: awaiting those Epstein files released. They were all supposed to

201
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: be out by last Friday. That did not happen. But

202
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: we've been getting some file dumps, and certainly there was

203
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: a big one yesterday, and one of the documents caused

204
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stir, raised a lot of eyebrows. A

205
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: letter purportedly from Jeffrey Epstein to another very famous pedophile,

206
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: a convicted pedophile, Larry Nasser. And now the FBI is

207
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: saying that that letter is fake, and we will go

208
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: ahead and read the letter for you because you'll see

209
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: why it's caused such a stir. This is again signed

210
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: by Jay Epstein. As you will know by now, I

211
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: have taken the short route home. Good luck. We shared

212
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: one thing, our love and caring for young ladies and

213
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: the hope they reached their full potential. Our president also

214
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: shares our love of young new bile girls. When a

215
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: young beauty walked by, he loved to grab snatch, whereas

216
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: we ended up snatched grub in the mess halls of

217
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: the system. Life is unfair. Yours Jay Epstein, and.

218
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: The Department of Justice has come out now said that

219
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: is fake. They give reasons for the postmark. It was

220
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: after Epstein actually die. They even say the handwriting doesn't match.

221
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: But they have now gone about several things that come

222
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: out and possibly don't look good on President Trump. They

223
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: have said these things are fake. So the line here is, yes,

224
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: all the stuff has come out, and they're telling us

225
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: not to believe what we're seeing or seeding.

226
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the purpose of the Epstein Files Transparency Act

227
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: is muddled, at least in the fact that now the

228
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: documents we are getting, when they are unflattering or perhaps

229
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: something they don't want to get out, we're just being

230
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: told it's fake, and it's hard to know what's real

231
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: and what's not. But we'll continue to monitor what continues

232
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: to be dumped out at a very opportune time where

233
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: folks are busy doing other things rather than focused on

234
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. But we'll keep our eye on that

235
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: developing story as well, because there are more files to come,

236
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: according to the Department of Justice. Next up on the run,

237
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: Russell Brand facing additional charges after two more women have

238
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: come forward to accuse the British comedian of rape and

239
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: sexual assault.

240
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: He had already been facing chargers back in April. He

241
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: has pled not guilty, but several counts of rape and

242
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: assault were already held against him. These are new charges

243
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: and they say new victims have stepped forward, and so

244
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: he's facing two more charges involving rape and sexual assault.

245
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: All of these allegedly.

246
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: Happened back between nineteen ninety nine and two thousand and five.

247
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: He has I've been putting stuff out on social media,

248
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,239
Speaker 2: made a couple of lines. It sound almost like apologies,

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: if you will, admissions of some kind. But he did

250
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: say he wants the truth of his situation and scenario

251
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: is how he put it to come out. Also said

252
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: pray anyone I've harmed or hurt to be healed again.

253
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: He has pled not guilty. Expected to be in court

254
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: in January.

255
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: We'll stay with us.

256
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: On this Christmas Eve run Diddy, hoping to be home

257
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: sooner than his sentence allows, will explain his new appeal

258
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: and how he's trying to get out of prison. Also,

259
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court a rare loss. They hand it for

260
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: President Trump yesterday, and of course one point seven billion

261
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: dollars up for grabs tonight. How man, how much of

262
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: that can I get if I take the cash options

263
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 2: to it.

264
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to our Christmas Eve morning, Ron and

265
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: next up on the run, Well, Sean Diddy. Coombs apparently

266
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: is still trying to get out of prison. Attorneys for

267
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: Shawn Combs filed an expedited appeal yesterday. They are asking

268
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: for his immediate release, or they want the court to

269
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: grant a judgment of acquittal, or they would like the

270
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: court to vacate his convictions altogether.

271
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

272
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Love, as we know, he is serving the fifty year sentence,

273
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: excuse me, fifty month fifty month sentence on those two

274
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: convictions for transportation to engage in prostitution. Now, their argument

275
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: one of them is out and the government didn't prove

276
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: his case. That's one thing. The other one, though, I

277
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: find interesting robes. They say the judge in the case

278
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: aired when he tried or when he did hold against

279
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: Diddy the crimes he was acquitted of in doing his sentence,

280
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: and the judge was, yes, you were only convicted of

281
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 2: these two things. But I've seen a pattern and all

282
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: these others, and they're saying he did not have the

283
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: right to consider that stuff and when I saw him,

284
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: is there some legal validity.

285
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: To that I wanted?

286
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: So they filed this on yesterday, So clearly they're not

287
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: expecting anyone to take a look at this until after

288
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: the new year. Correct, So they're just trying to get

289
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: ahead of things. I guess officially get that in before

290
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: the new year. But yes, this has been a constant

291
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: chirp and chatter from his attorneys. They are doing their job.

292
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: They we are seeing them exhausting every single option they

293
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: could possibly find or create to get him out of

294
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: jail before he's due. What is it twenty twenty an

295
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: exact nay? Eight? I believe some it's been shifted, it's

296
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: been moved around a little bit based on good behavior

297
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: bad behavior. But we'll have more to come, I'm sure

298
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: in the new year. Next up on the Run, the

299
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Court has handed President Trump a loss. It happened yesterday.

300
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: They turned down his emergency request to deploy the National

301
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: Guard in Chicago. They say the government has failed to

302
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: identify a source of authority that would allow the military

303
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: to execute the law in Illinois. So who is the authority?

304
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Apparently not the US government but the local officials, and

305
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: they certainly don't want the National Guard there. They've made

306
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: that clear.

307
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: And this only applies to Chicago, only applies to Illinois.

308
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: But they're saying this is a big deal for the

309
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: other jurisdictions who want to push back or fight Trump

310
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: on this. They look and see what Illinois did, and

311
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: it worked on Supreme Court has so far at least

312
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: sided with maybe some of those localities.

313
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: All Right, well, finally, and we say finally because maybe

314
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: finally we can put an end to this. Well, who

315
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: wants to put an end to a rising jackpot but

316
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: the people who are reporting on it three days a week.

317
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: But yes, Powerball at one point seven billion dollars, it's

318
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: pretty cool that the drawing is tonight on Christmas Eve

319
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: at eleven pm. It just feels it just feels right

320
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: that they would actually get a jackpot winner tonight.

321
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: And most people are not going to stay up late

322
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: and watch and wait for the numbers. I think most

323
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: people don't do that. So that means you're actually somebody's

324
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: going to wake up on Christmas morning, sweetheart. That is awesome.

325
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna wake up tomorrow with one point seven billion dollars.

326
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: I just I love that. Yes, of course I would

327
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: wish wish it on all of us, to be honest,

328
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: but man, that's one about the lottery. I got many

329
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: problems with lottery and roll my eyes about a lot

330
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: of stuff that is poetic.

331
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: I know when you just said that, I got chills

332
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: imagining someone. Look, look I have every every morning we've

333
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: had the drawing, I look at the numbers. I'm like, man,

334
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: not even closed. But hey, we won four dollars, so

335
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: I'll take it. And it's exciting to think someone is

336
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: literally going to be holding that lottery ticket looking at

337
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: the numbers and realizing, oh my.

338
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: That's gonna be.

339
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: God, that's gonna be so good luck to you all

340
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: in all you're doing today. Really, this is a special time,

341
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: and we're making a commitment not to work as hard

342
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: today and take a little give ourselves a little beat,

343
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: give a little graces. It's Christmas Eve, folks, and so

344
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: all the chaos that we've gone through and all the stress,

345
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: it finally has felt like it came off today. It

346
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: sucks that today I I'll take credit. I have finally

347
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: started focusing on the real reason behind the season kind

348
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: of a thing, and I'm ready to finally spread some

349
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: Christmas year.

350
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think with look always, news headlines tend

351
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: to be dark and heavy, and it's a tough thing

352
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: to do day in, day out, and to absorb it

353
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: all and to listen and receive all that negative information.

354
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: But I do take it with me in the sense

355
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: that it reminds me this is the time where we

356
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: get to hug the ones we love, We get to

357
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: put our phones down and actually spend time with our family.

358
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: And so we plan on doing that tonight and tomorrow,

359
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: and we hope you can do the same.

360
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 2: And before we let you go, as always, we'll give

361
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: you a quote of the day, something to take with you.

362
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: Hope you'll consider this is one of my favorites. Robes quote.

363
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: We are so quick to judge others by their worst actions,

364
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: yet we judge ourselves by our best intentions. I would

365
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: love for people to write that down and just look

366
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: at that, keep it on your phone, look at it

367
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: when you're having that moment. We do that all the time.

368
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: We look at when somebody else did say, ooh, look

369
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: how bad that person is, and then you look at

370
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: ourselves and well, I meant to well, I was going

371
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 2: to well, I know I did that, But really what

372
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: my intention was. We can soften the blow when it's us,

373
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: but we look at somebody else and immediately a look

374
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: at what you did? You terrible person, that's who you are.

375
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 3: Stop.

376
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we can maybe look at people through the

377
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: lens we look at ourselves, where we could give them

378
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of grace and understand that maybe we

379
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: don't know what was in their head, or what was

380
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: in their heart, or what they've been going through. A

381
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of people's actions are because they're dealing with pain.

382
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: Everyone's got some sort of trauma, some sort of pain.

383
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: If we can give each other that grace, it'll go

384
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: a long way.

385
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: Certainly on this holiday, consider that, folks, we are so

386
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: quick to judge others by their worst actions, yet we

387
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: judge ourselves by our best intentions. Wherever you are, hope

388
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: you are having a good holiday. I hope you have

389
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840
