1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Hey there, folks, Happy Monday to you. It is October

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: twenty first on TJ.

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Holks and I'm Amy Roboch. Thank you for coming along

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: for this Monday morning run with us.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: And on today's run, Trump plays Fry Cook and Harris

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: spends her birthday weekend at church with an usher. Yes,

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: things stay interesting on the campaign trail. Just fifteen days

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: now before election.

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: And Elon Musk is giving away money, in fact a

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: million dollars a day until the election. You're eligible, you

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: just have to sign something.

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: Also, a strike was costing Boeing a billion dollars a month.

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: That strike appears to be over maybe.

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Plus lights out in Cuba and we mean all of them.

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: The entire island loses power. And another day, another round

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: of lawsuits against Diddy.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: Plus a man was supposed to be executed last week.

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: Instead he'll be testifying before lawmans today. And who you

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: got in the World series might depend on if you

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: prefer the subway or the freeway.

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: And he was shot in a robbery this summer. He

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: played in his first NFL game yesterday, a special NFL

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: debut to tell you all about but we begin our run.

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: This morning on the campaign trail, Harris went to church

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: and Trump went to McDonald's. The two candidates were all

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: over the place this weekend, trying to take advantage of

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: one of the few weekends left in the campaign, and

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: they both brought along some special guests.

30
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: SVP. Harris, first of all, was in the all important

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: state of Michigan and alongside Detroit's own Lizzo for a rally.

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: The rally marked the beginning of early in person voting

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: in that state. From there, Harris headed to Atlanta for

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: another rally. This one included legendary Atellien. Uh sure, not

35
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: a bad way to spend her sixtieth birthday, which was Sunday.

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: That's right, Early in person voting also started in Georgia

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: last week, and not to be outdone, Trump rolled out

38
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: his own celebrities, and Tony Brown and Leveon Bell. A

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: lot of you might be saying, including me, who.

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Yes, Antonio Brown, Leveon Bell both former NFL players. Now,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: they don't have the same national name recognition as the

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: mononymned Usher and Lizzo, but they could prove to be

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: quite influential endorsements because Brown and Bell were wildly popular

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: and successful members of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they joined

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: Trump for a rally and where else Pennsylvania.

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: The ever important Pennsylvania. And then on Sunday, in a

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: pretty interesting scene, Donald Trump worked the fries and the

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: drive through at a McDonald's in the Philadelphia area. He

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: was trying to troll Harris, who says she worked at

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: a McDonald's for a while when she was younger. Trump

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: has maintained that she is lying. Early in person voting

52
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: starts today in at least six more states, and an

53
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: estimated nine million people have already cast their ballots across

54
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: this country.

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: As we continue our run here, we'll stay on the

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: campaign trail and you might be eligible to win a

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: million dollars today. All you got to do is sign

58
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: a petition petition. Now this sounds simple enough, sign me up.

59
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: Problem is this might all be illegal.

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Elon Musk has pledged to give away a million

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: dollars a day until election day to a randomly selected voters.

62
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: You actually have to live in one of seven swing states,

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: by the way, but you have to have also signed

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: his pro constitution petition. What is that? Well, it's a

65
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: petition from his pro Trump superpack that just says, hey,

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: I support the first and second amendments.

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: Now, that sounds simple enough, but this super pack was

68
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: set up to register voters in swing states and to

69
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: help Trump get elected. Now, if there's any question about

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: whether Musk is serious about this giveaway, well he's already

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: handed out the first two million dollar checks. He did

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: it this weekend.

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: But here's the big question, is any of this legal.

74
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Federal law prohibits giving payment in exchange for a vote

75
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: or for registering to vote. And we've already heard from

76
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania's governor, who happens to be a Democrat, Josh Shapiro.

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: He called on law enforcement to investigate this giveaway, calling

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: it deeply concerning.

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: And there is no doubt everyone knows Elon Musk is

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: a strong, strong, even a leaping Trump supporter, So make

81
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: no mistake about why he is doing this and what

82
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: the point of it is. But it's interesting. I think

83
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: anything that could get people to register and engaged and

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: to vote, it's a shame money needs to be maybe

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: one of those incentives.

86
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: It is because this petition, in addition to giving a

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: million dollars away a day, it's also giving one hundred

88
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: dollars to each registered Pennsylvania voter who signs, and one

89
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for referring a registered Pennsylvania voter to sign. So, yes,

90
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: there are some legal questions in play.

91
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to continue our morning run. Now.

92
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: It's going to take us down to Texas, where a

93
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: man who was supposed to be executed last week is

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: very much still alive and will even be talking today.

95
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Robert Roberson was convicted of murdering his two year old daughter, Nikki,

96
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: back in two thousand and two in a case of

97
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: shaken baby syndrome.

98
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: New scientific and medical evidence has shed doubt on that conviction,

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: and within hours of his scheduled execution, a bipartisan tactic

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: by the state legislature forced a stay of execution for Robertson.

101
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: That tactic was to subpoena him to testify today on

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: the merits of his conviction based on a junk science

103
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: law in the state of Texas.

104
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: So that is what's going to happen today. Robertson, fifty

105
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: seven years old, now will testify at a hearing before

106
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: that committee. Not clear though, if a new execution date

107
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: is going to be announced at any point or if

108
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: he will ultimately receive a new trial. I guess that's key.

109
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: Right now, his execution is on. It's only been delayed,

110
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: it has not been canceled. He is not free to go.

111
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: There's no clemency here. So as we speak, he's still

112
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: scheduled to die.

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: We just don't know the win, yes, and we know

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: that this has all been the reason why this execution

115
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: was stated. He has had a ground swell of support.

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: He's been behind bars for twenty years. He spends the

117
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: entirety of that pretty much in solitary confinement. But we've

118
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: heard from John Grisham, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle,

119
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: the Innocence Project, there, even the lead detective who helped

120
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: put him away, all asking for his execution not only

121
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: to be disdained, but for his conviction to be reversed.

122
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens today in Texas. Next up

123
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: on our run though another day, another half dozen lawsuits

124
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: against Sean Did he kum?

125
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? Some of you all could probably write this story yourselves.

126
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: Six more civil lawsuits have been filed accusing the music

127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: mogul of sexual assault, this time in these six suits

128
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: being brought by three men and three women, all named

129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: as Jane and John Does in these lawsuits.

130
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: This time, one of the accusers claimed she was just

131
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: thirteen years old at the time that Combs drugged her

132
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: and raped her. Also, these suits meant other celebrities who

133
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: were reportedly involved in wrongdoing, but the suits don't actually

134
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: name any of them, and.

135
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: Combs remains in jail in Brooklyn, where he's been since

136
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: his arrest last month on federal charges of racketeering and

137
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: sex trafficking. He's been denied bail at least twice. He

138
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: does have another a bail request pending his trial is

139
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: scheduled for May. It's robes impossible, it seems, to keep

140
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: up with these suits. We believe we're around two dozen

141
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: at least that have been officially filed against him, civil suits,

142
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: at least a dozen of them now since he's been

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: in jail. That are all these accusations in The attorney said,

144
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: there's one hundred and twenty plus accusers out there, and

145
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: they're going to start filing and filing and filing, and

146
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: we're seeing that happen now.

147
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this will actually probably be a daily or

148
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: at least a weekly event. Right now, and we will

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: stay up on it. Our run continues in Cuba now,

150
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: where millions of people remain without power for the fourth

151
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: day in a row. We're talking no lights, no AC,

152
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: no refrigerator, no running water, no nothing. And at this

153
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: point residents have reportedly been waiting in line for hours

154
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: just to get bred and basic supplies.

155
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: It's Monday now, but it was back on Friday when

156
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: they were experiencing the first blackout, so it's been a really,

157
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: really rough weekend. A fraction of the country's ten million

158
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: people did get some power restored after that first blackout

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: on Friday, but the energy grid overloaded again on Saturday

160
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: and then multiple times on Sunday, adding to this problem. Yes,

161
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: a dang gum tropical storm Oscar hit the eastern part

162
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: of Cuba yesterday, making it even more difficult for power

163
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: workers to continue their jobs trying to get everything back

164
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: up and running.

165
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just to get an idea of what the

166
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: situation is like there, it's reported that many hotels in

167
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: that area have said their generators are now officially out

168
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: of fuel. The International airport and Havana operating in the

169
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: dark on emergency power. There's no air conditioning. There's no

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: printers to even issue tickets for passengers, and as you

171
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: might imagine, some angry residents have begun to protest in

172
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: Havana and in neighboring towns.

173
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the government canceled classes there for all students at

174
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: least through Wednesday. Non essential workers told to stay home.

175
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: They're blaming the power outages on the US increased US

176
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: economic sanctions and disruptions from recent hurricanes. People have been

177
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: cooking on makeshift stoves. They're trying to get everything cooked

178
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 2: before it goes bad. There's nowhere to put this stuff

179
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: in the refrigerator.

180
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now, officials in Cuba originally had said that

181
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: power would be restored by today or tomorrow, but they

182
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: have not been able to provide an update on when

183
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: that actually might happen. And the folks in Cuba have

184
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: been dealing with US for some time. They've been rolling

185
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: blackouts all throughout the summer. So residents, as you might imagine,

186
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: are pretty fed up with the situation. And now there's

187
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: concern about looting and vandalism and all the problems that

188
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: come when you've lost power and people get desperate. But

189
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: we will keep you updated on that. Situation.

190
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: Well, stay with us here on this Monday. We're going

191
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: to continue our run in just a moment, and a

192
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: company was losing a billion dollars a month and a

193
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: worker strike. Could that strike now finally be open? All right, folks,

194
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: let's continue our Monday morning run, and a worker strike

195
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: that has cost Boeing and estimated billion dollars might finally

196
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: be over. Both signs in this have agreed to a

197
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: tentative deal that would put an end to the five

198
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: week long strike affecting it's thirty three thousand machinists.

199
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: The deal still has to be ratified by a majority

200
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: of the membership before it officially takes effect, but that

201
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: would allow workers to return to the job that union

202
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: votes on Wednesday. Reportedly, this new offer increases wages by

203
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: thirty five percent over a four year contract, and it

204
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: also increases the company contributions to its employees for a

205
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: one K plan.

206
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: Now, this is an all important American company here that

207
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: operates here in this country. It's the largest exporter we

208
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: have and has been struggling for the past five years.

209
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: Because you've seen them in the headlines and not a

210
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: lot for a lot of the wrong reasons. Two fatal crashes,

211
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: grounding nearly a two year grounding of its best selling plane.

212
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: And then that door plug that blew off in Alaskan

213
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: Airlines flight back in January. You remember that. Numerous federal investigations,

214
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: so it's been a mess of headlines, and it would

215
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: be nice to get this strike behind them.

216
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: It certainly would because here's the important part. That strike

217
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: stopped production of nearly all of its commercial jets. And

218
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: well that's a major financial issue because their revenue comes

219
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: from this sale of its planes. Boeing supports more than

220
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: one and a half million jobs across all fifty staids. So,

221
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: as you pointed out, TJ a very important American company,

222
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: hopefully getting back on its feet soon.

223
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: And we will continue along our run now and we

224
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: will come on back to New York because they just

225
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: capped off a historic and entertaining WNBA season and in

226
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: the best way possible, certainly for us here in New York.

227
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: But the New York Liberty finally won the double NBA title.

228
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: They beat the Minnesota Links in overtime of the deciding

229
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: Game five of the finals.

230
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: And we say finally won because the Liberty, they were

231
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: one of the founding members of the WNBA when it

232
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: started twenty eight years ago. In fact, the New York

233
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Liberty played in the very first WNBA game ever back

234
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety seven. They played in five previous WNBA

235
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: finals and lost. So this is a big deal.

236
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: It's an important franchise and this has been a historic season.

237
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: As we know, their viewership has been up to historic numbers.

238
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: They signed a huge, historic broadcast rights deal, and of

239
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: course attendance has been up and interest has been up. Yes,

240
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: it's the Caitlin Clark effect, Angel Reaves, those superstars coming

241
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: in as freshmen, as rookies. They just came out of college,

242
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: but they are rookies. It's just great to see the

243
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: WNBA have the season it's at, it's on its way now. Yeah.

244
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: I love seeing the audiences and just the full house

245
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: people supporting and cheering on these women. And we're hoping

246
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: to do so too, because we may have the parade,

247
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: the Parade of Champions they call here along Broadway travel

248
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: right beneath my apartment. It's right out the door, so

249
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: we might actually be able to stand on the balcony

250
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: and cheer them on. I'm looking forward to that.

251
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: We absolutely will be out there and next up on

252
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,479
Speaker 2: our run. Tell us, folks, you prefer palm trees or skyscrapers.

253
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: You prefer Broadway or Hollywood. You prefer the subway or

254
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 2: the freeway.

255
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Let's continue this. Santa Monica or the Rockaways, Biggie or

256
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Tupac Madison Avenue or Rudeo Drive, the Big Apple or Tinseltown.

257
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: Okay, y'all get it. Y'all know where we're going with this.

258
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: What do you got? You got New York or you

259
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: got LA. The World Series is set and it's the

260
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: matchup that everybody wanted to see, The LA Dodgers versus

261
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees, two of the most storied franchises

262
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: in baseball, the two largest cities in the country, the

263
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: two teams who've played each other in the World Series

264
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: more times than any other two teams, and they have

265
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: the apps two biggest superstars in baseball show Hey Otani

266
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: and Aaron Johnson.

267
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. This will be the twelfth time these teams have

268
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: played each other in the World Series. New York is

269
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: eight for three on that record. The Dodgers finish off

270
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: the Mets last night in the National League Championship to

271
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: advance to the World Series. Admittedly, we were rooting for

272
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: the Mets because we were holding out hope for that

273
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: subway series, that beloved subway series, Mets versus Yankees. But

274
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't meant to be.

275
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Didn't realized It's only happened once before the World Series,

276
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: had the Mets and the Yankees in a subway series.

277
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: I guess it's such a rare thing. I can't remember

278
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: the year twenty five years ago, almost, but that.

279
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Was you were all it came close.

280
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: You're a You're not a bay of all the sports.

281
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: You probably watched baseball with me least, and even you

282
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: when you knew it could be Mets Yankees, you were

283
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: already saying, how cold do you take it? You know

284
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: somebody right, But the Dodgers most recently won a World

285
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: Series in twenty twenty. Longer for the Yankees though two

286
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: thousand and nine, as they had and won. But the

287
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: Yankees are by far the winning is franchise. They have

288
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: a total twenty seven World Series titles. That series will

289
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: start on Friday. But Otani and Judge O show, Hey, Otani,

290
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm so happy that he is going to be in

291
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: the World Series. Yes, dude, It's amazing, I know.

292
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: And as you pointed out, I don't watch a lot

293
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: of baseball, just regular season, but I love watching the

294
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: World Series. So this is going to be a fun

295
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: one to watch and I'm very excited for it. All Right,

296
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: our final leg of our run this morning. A major

297
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: comeback story. San Francisco forty nine er Ricky Piersall made

298
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: his triumphant return to the football field yesterday after he

299
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt over

300
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: the summer.

301
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: So he's making a return to football, which ends up

302
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: being his debut. He made his first catch in his

303
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: first official career game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It

304
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: was late in the first half. The crowd understood what

305
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: this meant and they went crazy. It gave him a

306
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: standing ovation. There are a lot of high hopes for

307
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: this kid coming out of the University of Florida star

308
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: wide receiver. He was drafted in the first round, so

309
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: he was looking forward to having a good year and

310
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: helping this team. Unbelievable that robbery.

311
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, shot yeah, And it started out he actually was

312
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: dealing with injuries too. Earlier on he had a hamstring

313
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: and a shoulder injury and then yes On August thirty first,

314
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: police say a seventeen year old shot him in the

315
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: middle of the afternoon trying to steal his Rolex watch.

316
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: It happened in broad daylight in the San Francisco's Union

317
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Square area while he was shopping for luggage. Piersall was

318
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: rushed to the hospital. Doctors were relieved to find that

319
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: bullet remarkably missed all of his vital organs.

320
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: They said it went straight through. He spent a night

321
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: in the hospital. Yes one night in the hospital, but

322
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: he had weeks of recovery trying to get motion back

323
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: in his arm. Seven weeks later, he said he's feeling great.

324
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: It says, I just took the opportunity to be appreciative

325
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: of everything that led up to my return and all

326
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: the blessings that came along with it.

327
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: Now, despite the emotional lifts Pearsall gave the team yesterday,

328
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers ultimately lost to the Chiefs. That

329
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: final score Chiefs twenty eight, forty nine Ers eighteen. And

330
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering, that seventeen year old suspect in

331
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: the case, he's not being named because he's a minor,

332
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: but he's been charged with attempted murder, assault with a

333
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: semi automatic firearm, and attempted second degree robbery. I don't

334
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: know how much this matters, but his attorney says his

335
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: client is truly sorry for his actions and is remorseful.

336
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: You know, we have to say to the audience that's listening.

337
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: We actually debated this morning because we had the World Series,

338
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: we had the WNBA Finals, and then we had Pearsol.

339
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: It was three sports stories and we had that too

340
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: much sports, and we shouldn't look at it. This is

341
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 2: a human story that is like wonderul These are stories

342
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: that actually make me feel good, like the liberty overcoming

343
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: LA and New York fans are going to get something

344
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: really special and this kid coming back, It's okay. These

345
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: are I'm glad we included. That story makes me feel

346
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: good just to hear how it's going for him now.

347
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: So I'm glad we included, and so we hope you

348
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 2: appreciate it as well.

349
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm not like a huge, big Swartz person,

350
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: and all of those stories mattered. And you know what,

351
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: we need sports sometimes in the era we live in

352
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: and all the bad news and the finger pointing. If

353
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: you especially can have some hopeful, happy, uniting sports stories.

354
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm all in, even with.

355
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: An opposing team, which we saw this weekend. We were

356
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: at my alma mater and we saw the opposing team

357
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: and some of their fans and you know, throwing something

358
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: at him. You know, you're just smiling and you're embracing

359
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: and everybody understands it's just competition and you can have

360
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: some camaraderie around it. So maybe sports is what we

361
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: need these days, because I'm getting sick of these sound

362
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: bites on TV with the name calling, with the politicians.

363
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: Right, agreed, agreed?

364
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: Amen, all right, And with that, folks, on this Monday,

365
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: we would like you to consider this as you head

366
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: out on your day.

367
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong.

368
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: It may just be a sign that he's thinking. This

369
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: comes to us from Oswald Chambers. I had to look

370
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: him up. He's a Scottish minister and a teacher. He

371
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: has hundreds of inspirational quotes and that was one of

372
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: your favorites teaching.

373
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: Isn't it a wild you look at the mind they

374
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: have doubt or you think there's these unsure Well, it

375
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: just gives a person credit. Maybe it just means they're

376
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: being delibered and they're taking the time and give.

377
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: It some thought that it needs to be done, maybe

378
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: something all of us should do more up.

379
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, doubt, folks is not always a sign and is wrong.

380
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: It might just be a sign that he is thinking

381
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 2: and with that would appreciate you as always going out

382
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,440
