00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: everyone to the Morning Run on this Tuesday, November twelfth.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ. Holmes. Always appreciate you

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: going along for a quick run with us. And on

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: this morning's run, President Trump is hiring filling at least

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: three more key positions in his new administration.

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, President Biden and VP Harris make a joint public appearance.

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: It's their first since her election loss.

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: Also, the so called Trump pump continues. If you own bitcoin,

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: you already know what I'm talking about.

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: And New York Mayor Eric Adams wants to get it

12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: on in court sooner rather than later.

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: Plus, American airlines have stopped flights to Haiti after two

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: planes were hit by gunfire.

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: And Trump might not be a thirty four time convicted

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: fellon much longer, a judge rules today in his hush

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: money case.

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: Plus millions lost internet service overnight in a major outage

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 2: that appeared to have the phone at Verizon scratching.

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Their heads, and forty three escaped, thirty have been captured,

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: thirteen still on the run. The monkey hunt continues in

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: South Carolina.

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: And this morning an honor for famed abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Rather,

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: that's now General Harriet Tubman. We'll explain.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: All right, we begin our morning run with two words.

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: You're hired. President elect Trump continues his hiring spree and

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: has filled several more key positions.

28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: First, the big one, Secretary of State. Several outlets are

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: reporting that Trump will tap Florida Senator Marco Rubio for

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 2: the role. Rubio was once a harsh critic of Trump,

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: and things even got pretty nasty between the two men

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: when they both ran for president back in twenty sixteen.

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably still fresh on a lot of our minds.

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Trump attacked Rubio as not being presidential material, gave him

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: that honor of a nickname, Little Marco. Rubio, in turn

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: made fun of Trump for having small hands. Remember all

37
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: of that. Well, their relationship didn't stay sour or Bio

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: has been a reliable supporter of Trump during his election cycle.

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: Also, moving on to the role of Homeland Security Secretary,

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: Trump has selected South Dakota Governor Christy Nome. According to CNN,

41
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: citing two sources, she has been a GOP rising star

42
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: for the past couple of years and was considered even

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: a contender to be Trump's vice president and for.

44
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: The role of National Security advisor. Trump has reportedly asked

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Florida Congressman Mike Waltz to serve in that role, according

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: to multiple reports, Waltz is a former Green Beret and

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: has served on the House Armed Services Committee.

48
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: Also a couple of others to mention here. It's widely

49
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: expected that Trump will soon named Stephen Miller as Deputy

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: Chief of Staff for policy. Miller also served in the

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: first Trump administration and as one of Trump's top advisors

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: on immigration policy.

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: And finally, Trump announced he wants former New York Congressman

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: Lee Zelden to head the Environmental Protection Agency. Zelden went

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: on to social media onto x saying that he is

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: going to restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry,

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: and bring back American job He said he's also going

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: to make the US the global leader of AI, and

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: he says he's going to do so while protecting access

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: to clean air and water.

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue on our run on this Tuesday morning.

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: With President Biden and Vice President Harris yesterday making their

63
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: first joint appearance since her election, laws they both took

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: part in the annual Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Yes, they were side by side during a procession and

66
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: while laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier.

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: First Lady Jill Biden, second Gentleman Doug em Hooff were

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: also there in attendance. President Biden delivered remarks acknowledging this

69
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: is the last time I will stand at Arlington as

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: commander in chief. It has been the greatest honor of

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: my life. It was something to see them side by

72
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: side after all of the fingerpointing that's happened in the

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: past week following Harris's loss on election.

74
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: Day, fingerpointing, all those fingers were directed at Biden.

75
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: It seemed you are correct, you are correct. And yet

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: there they were as a solid front there at Arlington

77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: National Seven.

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: You know, after all we have seen and gone through

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: the past week with the election, they have day jobs,

80
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: they have something to get back to, and this is

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: the role where we have seventy days left in the

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: Biden administration. There's even some wild talk out there about

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: Biden needing to step down as president, resign, that he

84
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: could still a part of his legacy be he made

85
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: room for the first female president, first woman to ever

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: be president. I know that sounds wild, but it's starting

87
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: to gain some mainstream steam.

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: You know. And to each their own in terms of

89
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: their opinion on that. But I don't think that most

90
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: people would like to be handed a job that would

91
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: be that historically significant in that way. I think we

92
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: would all like to earn it, or to at least

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: be voted in, And especially with Harris, who actually didn't

94
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 1: even get the nomination in the way most politicians would,

95
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: so I would think she would not prefer that to happen.

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: But yet the rumors continue.

97
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: We have seen a lot of crazy stuff this election cycle,

98
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: so who knows, but they won't.

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: Hold your breath on that one, or don't hold your

100
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: breath on that one, is what I would say.

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: But I'm with you on that one. Next up, yere,

102
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: as we continue our Tuesday morning run, those thirty four felonies,

103
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 2: You remember those thirty four felonies. He's a thirty four

104
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: time convicted felon Where all that could go away for Trump?

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: Today a judge is set to determine if Trump's convictions

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: in that hush money case. Will stand.

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy? TJ. Don't you remember exactly where we

108
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: were when we watched those thirty four felony convictions come down.

109
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: They were being handed down as we were sitting outside

110
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: at a restaurants.

111
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: Ready to go to a racial Platinum suctor.

112
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: I'll never forget where we were, and it seemed so significant,

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: and yet now it might be so insignificant. Yes, Donald

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Trump was convicted May thirtieth for falsifying business records related

115
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: to money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He

116
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: was set to be sentenced at the end of this month.

117
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court ruling put a well a monkey wrench

118
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: into all of that. The court ruled in July that

119
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: presidents have sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution.

120
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: So Trump and his lawyers are using that Supreme Court

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: ruling to make a request that his criminal case and

122
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: the convictions should be thrown out. So the judge today,

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: he said it gave himself the deadline for today of

124
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: issuing a ruling. His options are he could throw out

125
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: all the convictions. He could uphold the convictions. He could

126
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: also just order a new trial. He could then possibly

127
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: dismiss the case entirely. He has some options, but it

128
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: is possible that all the talk we heard about a

129
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: thirty four time convicted felon that case and those convictions

130
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: could go bye bye. Today.

131
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: We will be watching that all right. Next up on

132
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: our run cryptocurrencies, we're watching those as well. They're continuing

133
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: to soar following Trump's victory. It's all a part of

134
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: what some are now calling the Trump pump. Bitcoin has

135
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: been shattering its own previous records. I've been checking. By

136
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: the moment, it's now trading just shy of ninety thousand.

137
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: Investors believe that number may reach the six figure mark

138
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: by the end of this year.

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: It was just at sixty eight thousand a week ago

140
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: on election day, and has well more than doubled from

141
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: this year's low of thirty eighty five hundred five year Today,

142
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: bitcoin is now gained more than ninety percent.

143
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: Trump promised on the campaign trail that if he was elected,

144
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: he would make the United States quote the crypto capital

145
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: of the planet, and to accumulate a national stockpile of bitcoin,

146
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: which is growing more valuable by the second.

147
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: Well, we will continue now on our run, and millions

148
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: of people on the East Coast might not even be

149
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: able to hear us on this morning's Morning Run because well,

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: they lost their internet service. This has happened on the

151
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: East Coast and the evening and early morning hours, millions

152
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: are without it. Verizon files who were talking about they've

153
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: confirmed a major outage or a network maintenance issue. They

154
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: actually tweeted they don't have the full details just yet.

155
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: They are apologizing for the inconvenience. But the inconvenience is

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: mainly on the East East Coast with millions of people out,

157
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: and then there's some area of southern Kansas that's an

158
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: experience in an outage as well.

159
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a bizarre map when you see who's affected,

160
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: and there is no real explanation. Verizon just said that

161
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: repairs began just before eleven pm last night when they

162
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: were made aware of the situation, and they expect services

163
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: to be restored by eleven am this morning. That's Tuesday morning.

164
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: Verizon FiOS, by the way, the largest provider of mobile

165
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: services in the country, and according to an online tracking service,

166
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: at least twenty six cities have now reported some type

167
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: of outage.

168
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, ninety percent of the complaints are related solely to

169
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: internet services. Nine percent reported a total blackout. I was confused.

170
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: If they say we are fixing the problem, we'll have

171
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: it worked out soon, even though we don't know exactly

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: what the problem is.

173
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't feel super encouraging, not at all all, right, next

174
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: up on our run. New York Mayor Eric Adams would

175
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: rather go to trials soon then later, and has asked

176
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: a judge in his criminal case to move up his

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: trial date. Adams officially made this request in a court

178
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: filing yesterday.

179
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: This trial is currently scheduled for April twenty third, but

180
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: he wanted to start on April first. Why Well, he's

181
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: got other things to do, namely run for reelection, that's right.

182
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Adams is arguing that the later date would get in

183
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: the way of him being fully engaged in his re

184
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: election campaign, since the trial would likely conclude in late May,

185
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: which would be just a month before voters start casting

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: ballots in the mayoral primary. The mayor thinks he's going

187
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: to be sidelined during such a critical time of his

188
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: reelection campaign.

189
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: And, from his attorney tells the court, an earlier trial

190
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: date will ensure that the mayor will be able to

191
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: fully participate in his re election campaign and that this

192
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: city's voters can be rid of the distraction of this

193
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 2: misguided indictment as they hear from and evaluate the Democratic

194
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: candidates for mayor on their merits.

195
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Adams has pleaded not guilty to five federal corruption charges

196
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: against him. Prosecut Kittors are accusing him of accepting gifts

197
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: in exchange for political favors. It's not clear when we

198
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: might have a ruling on Adam's request, and certainly what

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: we saw happening with Trump and the Supreme Court does

200
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: not apply to mayors.

201
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: Again, Which way will it go? If he is then,

202
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: if he's exonerated, he'll be able to go out there

203
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: on the campaign trail as a newly exonerated guy. If

204
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: he's convicted, he'll be able to go out there and say,

205
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: I am a victim of political prosecution. You should what

206
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: do you do?

207
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: We'll see what the New York voters have to say

208
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: about it.

209
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: Well, stay with us all this Tuesday morning. Our run

210
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: is going to continue in a moment, and we have

211
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: US Airlines stopping all of their air traffic to Haiti

212
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: because their planes are getting shot at next up on

213
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: our Tuesday morning run, the main airport in Haiti is

214
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: closed to air traffic after at least two s two

215
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: two US airlines had their planes hit by gunfire.

216
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is some scary stuff. The first incident involved

217
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: a Spirit Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale. It was trying

218
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: to land in Port A Prince and was within six

219
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: hundred feet of the runway when gangs opened fire on

220
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: the jet, making it have to divert to the Dominican Republic.

221
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: A flight attendant reportedly suffered minor injuries.

222
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: And then, in another incident yesterday, a Jet Blue flight

223
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: from Haiti to New York. It didn't report an incident

224
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: when it took off from Haiti, it landed safely at JFK,

225
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: but a post flight inspection of the plane found evidence

226
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: that yes, it had also been hit by gunfire.

227
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: Wow. The US put out an alert specifically warning of

228
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: what it called gang led efforts to block travel to

229
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: and from Port A Prince, which may include armed violence

230
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: and disruptions to roads, ports and airports.

231
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: Spirit, American Airlines, and Jet Blue have all announced that

232
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: they are suspending all of their flights into and out

233
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: of the US continues to warn that this is an

234
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: unpredictable and dangerous situation, and that statement says the US

235
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: government cannot guarantee your safety traveling to Haiti to the

236
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 2: airports there, so they may get pretty clear you flat

237
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: out you shouldn't just be going you sh shouldn't be

238
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: going Haiti right now. Yeah.

239
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: I think they said you should consider your personal security

240
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: situation before traveling to Haiti, and that is certainly good advice. Indeed,

241
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: our run takes us now to what's become our daily

242
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: Monkeys on the Loose update, and progress is being made.

243
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: We are happy to report, slowly but surely, now more

244
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: than half of the monkeys that escape from that South

245
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: Carolina research lab have been recovered.

246
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: You say happy to report, I'm rooting for the monkeys.

247
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,119
Speaker 2: As of this morning, thirty of the forty three runaways

248
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: have been captured. That means we have thirteen that are

249
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: still on the loop.

250
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we still have an update for you tomorrow too.

251
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: It's certainly exciting for US. Authorities said that a team

252
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: of vets have been brought in to conduct wellness exams

253
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: on the monkeys who have been recovered, and they've said

254
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: so that all the monkeys, all the monkeys that have

255
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: been recaptured, are given snacks and police let us know

256
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: what favorite is peanut butter and jelly.

257
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: Why did they let us know that?

258
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. It cracked me up, and it was

259
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: a detail I felt remiss to not include.

260
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: You don't see that in a lot of police reports,

261
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: do you? The monkeys like peanut, butter and jelly? A

262
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: good point? Okay, I'm with you. Recovery effort's going to

263
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: continue until all of the monkeys are recovered, and police

264
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: reiterated that members of the community should call nine one

265
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: one if they see any of them on the loose

266
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: out there. Tomorrow is going to be a full week

267
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: since the animals escaped after a new employee it didn't

268
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: properly secure an enclosure at the facility. And they continue

269
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: to say that the monkeys aren't a threat. Correct, not

270
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: a health threat. They're not dangerous, but did.

271
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Not approach them to lock your doors and your windows

272
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: into call nine one one. Yes, we love but nothing

273
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: to worry about it. We love that all right. We

274
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: all have this next story, and it's our last story.

275
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: It's a perfect way to end. The final lug of

276
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: our run takes us to the state of Maryland, where

277
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: Harriet tup Mean was officially awarded the rank of general

278
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: using Veterans Day and the backdrop of the Harriet Tubman

279
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: Underground Railroad State Park. Governor Wesmore held a formal ceremony

280
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: to posthumously make Tubman a one star brigadier general in

281
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the state's National Guard.

282
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: And Governor mor said, today we celebrate a soldier and

283
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: a person who earned the title a veteran. Subman was

284
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: the first woman to oversee an American military action during

285
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: a time of war by establishing the underground railroad network

286
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: and then becoming a scout, a spy, and was a

287
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: nurse for the Union Army during the Civil War.

288
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: At the ceremony were Tubman's descendants. There were members of

289
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: the military there and local leaders who called the award

290
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: long overdue. There was apparently a new law that was

291
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: put into place in Maryland that allowed the government the

292
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: governor to posthumously award and recognize people like Tubman, and

293
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: so it's a pretty cool honor and everyone was celebrating yesterday.

294
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: I loved what Governor Moore said at the ceremony. It

295
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: gave me chills. He said, there is nobody who defined

296
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: leave no one behind in the way that General Tubman

297
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: left no one behind.

298
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: That's a long standing bonder of the military. Right, no

299
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: man left behind, no person left behind, certainly for Sae.

300
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, we've heard that for a long time. And

301
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: that was a nice nugget. This was a nice nod.

302
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: It was a nice something they could do, hopefully non controversial.

303
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: Nobody could argue with. It was just a nice nod

304
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: for Harriet Tubman and for history.

305
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love that we now can call her

306
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: General Tubman. Very very cool.

307
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: All Right, folks, as you continue about your day, you

308
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: want to leave you with this something for you to

309
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: consider as you go about your Tuesday.

310
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: Yes, here is our quote of the day. It takes

311
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: courage to grow up and become who you really are.

312
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: That is from the poet Ee Cummings. But I love

313
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: that because it certainly does. I think that's something We

314
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: spend our whole lives trying to be what we think

315
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: we should be or what people want us to be,

316
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: and it takes courage to actually be who you are.

317
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: So folks, take that with you today. It takes courage

318
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: to grow up and become who you really are. And

319
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: with that, I know some of you may be going

320
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: back to work today. Maybe you had a longer weekend

321
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: with the Veteran's Day holiday, but whatever you may be doing,

322
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: hope you have a good one today. We always appreciate

323
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,680
