1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Friday,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: September twelfth.

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Roboch, I'm TJ Holmes. And the last thing

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: we said to each other folks before we started recording, was, man,

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: everything is heavy today, Like there's no light story. We

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: like to have some good news. I'm sure we could

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: dig and find something, but everything just seems there's been

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: a weighty week.

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: It's been a really heavy week, a tough week, and yeah,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: we always try to look for some fun, light, uplifting

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: story in the news industry. We call them kickers, and

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: they're like an essential part of any rundown in any newsroom.

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: But we couldn't find any. You know what. The silver

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: lining at least is for those of us here in

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: New York, we have a gorgeous stretch of weather coming up,

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: and so I can lean on the fact that it's

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: going to be seventy nine and sunny today.

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just a it's been a difficult one.

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: It's been a difficult week, and certainly nine eleven, with

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: those commemorations, it just things felt a little heavy. So

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: we'll let you know what's going on out there? We saw, Robes.

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: One of the things that happened, we knew probably this

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: was eventually going to happen, that a hoax about a

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: shooter on a campus leads to an actual shooting. We'll

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: tell you what happened there. This is at the Naval Academy.

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: But let's start really this morning, Robes, Let's just get

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: right to it. Charlie Kirk. It is remarkable that as

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: high profile and as many eyes were on this thing,

30
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: on this case, and you know, the President of the

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: United States, once this killer caught immediately, that we are

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: now entering day three of this man hunt.

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: I would not have predicted that, especially with his image

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: being shown yesterday everywhere, and to wake up this morning,

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: the first thing we did was look at our phones

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: to see if he had been captured, but in fact, yes,

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: we begin our run in Utah, where the manhunt for

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's killer does continue today.

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: So far.

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, they don't even know, or at least

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: they haven't said they know who they're actually hunting. Police

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: are pleading with the public for help and identifying the

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: person of interest, and overnight they have released even more

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: video and more images.

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: And the one video, the primary one, you can't see

46
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: the person at least identifying markers on the person that

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: well because it's from a little bit of a distance,

48
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: but you can clearly see someone running across the roof.

49
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Then they kind of scuttle down the side a little

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: bit and then jump fairly significant distance down to the ground,

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: then walk across a lawn, and this video you can

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: see the person wearing a backpack the entire time. There's

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: another video out there that shows what appears to be

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: the same person wearing the same stuff where it was

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: walking down a neighborhood street not too long after the shooting.

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: And you and I don't know how much this is

57
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: being talked about, but that person clearly had a limp.

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh limping pretty badly, and obviously because when I saw

59
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: him take that jump, that was no small feet, that

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: was a big distance. So it wasn't surprising to me

61
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: that he injured himself in that jump in that that's

62
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: clearly what it appears to be.

63
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: All right. And police also release new images that highlight

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: the person's attire, that black T shirt with an American

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: flag on the front, and also they were pointing out

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: the person's converse all stars that they were wearing.

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we got a closer look at him, and

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: it's really obvious that he is of college age. Yeah,

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I said to you, he's obviously young. You can just

70
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: tell by the images. But there are Yeah, there's now

71
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot of incentive out there if anyone does recognize

72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: him to call it in because there is a one

73
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars reward for information leading to an arrest.

74
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: And police say right now they have fielded seven thousand

75
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: leads and they have to trace each and every one

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: of those down. The Utah governor announced yesterday that the

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: state will be seeking the death penalty in this case. So, look,

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: they've talked the talk. They've said, hey, we're going to

79
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: find you, We're going to bring you to justice, We're

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: gonna impose the death penalty on you. The problem is

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: they don't know who it is yet.

82
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: And given the resources they have, I mean, we've seen

83
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: some pretty improbable manhunts before, but just given the resources,

84
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: everybody is looking for this guy. And three days in

85
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: now we still don't know. And again, as of this recording, folks,

86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: he has not been captured. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk's casket arrived

87
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: back in his home state of Arizona yesterday, carried aboard

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: Air Force two. Vice President Vance went to Utah yesterday.

89
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 2: He along with uniformed service members, escorted Kirk's casket onto

90
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: the plane and.

91
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: Kirk's wife, Erica, was there with the Vanceys for that

92
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: flight back to Phoenix yesterday. And as far as the

93
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: funeral itself goes, here's the information that we have. While

94
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: it's all coming from the President himself, Trump told reporters

95
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: he believes the funeral will be next weekend. And the

96
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: President did say he will attend Charlie Kirk's funeral.

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: He used the word obligation. He says, I have an

98
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: obligation to go. This is look, we can say what

99
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: we want. We talk about this inner circle and loyalty.

100
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: The President is returning that loyalty. I mean they do.

101
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a guy that close to them

102
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: to see them react the way they have. And was

103
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: it yesterday at the at the Pentagon, yes during the

104
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: nine to eleven ceremonies, we looked up and saw the

105
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: presidents at my goodness, he looked well.

106
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: He did not look well, and he looked as tired.

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: And as disturbed as I've ever seen him. Look, his

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: face actually showed pain and fatigue. I think that's what

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: it looked like to me. You could just see the

110
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: toll this death, this assassination has taken on him.

111
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: It really did seem that way. It genuinely did seem

112
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: that way. All right, we're going to continue on the run. Now.

113
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: The next leg brings us back here to New York,

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: where the President did wrap up nine to eleven commemorations

115
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 2: by attending the New York Yankees game against the Detroit Tigers.

116
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: That meant, of course, a little bit of a security nightmare.

117
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: They did give people heads up, the President's going to

118
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: be here, it's going to be some extra security. See

119
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: US Open last week, And it looks like folks they

120
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: did heat the warnings and it wasn't that much of

121
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: a mess.

122
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, perhaps when people did see what happened to the

123
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: US Open, they made a decision not to make a

124
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: repeat of that. So even the roads were blocked off,

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: helicopters were circling above, and all those baseball fans were

126
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: yes greeted by Secret Service, the NYPD and TSA officers

127
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: when they entered Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium decided to open

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: three hours ahead of the first pitch to accommodate all

129
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: that extra security, So by all accounts, it went fairly smoothly,

130
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: as smoothly as it can when the president is in attendance.

131
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: And when Trump was shown on the big screen both

132
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: during the national anthem and then again during the seventh

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: inning stretch where they seen God Bless America, there was

134
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: a mix of cheers and booze, and at one point

135
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: a group of fans below where Donald Trump was so

136
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: that box began a Donald Trump chat. I'm sure he

137
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: a chat. Chant. I can't talk.

138
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure he appreciated that you have chat in the.

139
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: And I meant to say chant. Okay, so I read

140
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: what's in front of me, apparently, and I can't compute

141
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: when I've made a typeo, I'm Ron Burgundy and go

142
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 1: f yourself, san Diego. No.

143
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: Before the first pitch last night, the Yankees held a

144
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. Trump is the third

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: sitting president to attend a game at a Yankee stadium.

146
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm surprised it's only been three for some reason.

147
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: And when you look and see who they are, It's

148
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: actually interesting George W. Bush when he threw out that

149
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: ceremonial first pitch after nine to eleven, and then the

150
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: only other president was Warren Warren. Okay, Warren, thank you?

151
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Warren Harding? Can you tell that I need some sleep?

152
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: It's Friday. It's been a long week, Warren Harding in

153
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty.

154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: Three, No way I would have come out with that one.

155
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: The opening year of the original Yankee Stadium, and no

156
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: other president has been the Yankee Stadium.

157
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: That is an amazing trivia question. Who are the only

158
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: three presidents to attend a Yankee game? Oh? My god?

159
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Because when I saw that, I had to add it

160
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: because that actually shocked me. I would have thought significantly

161
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: more presidents would have attended a Yankees game.

162
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: Have you checked your sleep score? Did you get it? Yeah?

163
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: It's bad? What is it?

164
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: It's in the sixties.

165
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: Wow? Okay, folks, so.

166
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Sixty three, I think.

167
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: Okay, forgive her. Okay, she's going through some things right now.

168
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: All right, bear with me as we continue our run

169
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: where several HBCUs were on lockdown and canceled classes yesterday

170
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: after receiving unspecified threats.

171
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: We're talking about at least six schools and they kind

172
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: of spread out all over. But these threats started coming

173
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: in to some of these schools and then other schools

174
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: just started closing just in case, even though they didn't

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: get threats. They don't know where this has come from.

176
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: The FBI did get involved. They said every single one

177
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: of these was a hoax, but still they have to

178
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: take them all seriously. The schools that we know were

179
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: impacted Alabama State, Virginia State, Hampton, Southern Clark, Atlanta, and

180
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Bethune Cookman. And again Spelman was one that didn't get

181
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: a threat, but they say, we're just closing just in case.

182
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: And so this is Yes, it's scary, it's disruptive to education,

183
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: and it's going to the hoaxes are having real consequences.

184
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's frustrating to see them continue and to be

185
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: so targeted like that. Next up on the Run, speaking

186
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: of false reports. Yes, a false report of a shooting

187
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: at the Naval Academy yesterday led to an actual shooting.

188
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: This happened yesterday on the Annapolis campus. The midshipmen were

189
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,359
Speaker 1: put in lockdown after threats were made online.

190
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in the confusion, in the chaos and the

191
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: misinformation going around. One midshipman mistook a responding law enforcement

192
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: officer who was doing a sweep of a building, mistook

193
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: that officer as a threat and tried to protect I

194
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: guess fellow classmates and went after the officer with his

195
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: training rifle and struck the officer. So the officer then

196
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: shot the student, who had to be airlifted to a hospital.

197
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: Non life threatening injuries we can report, but the threat

198
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: was a false one. Robes believed to have come in

199
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: from a student who had been kicked out of the

200
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: school previously, who was sitting one thousand miles away.

201
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: Disgusting. It's disgusting that there's that retaliatory mindset and then

202
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: all the chaos it calls and someone actually getting shot.

203
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: That is scary and hopefully a bit of a warning

204
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: to anyone who thinks it's funny in any way, shape

205
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: or form. Well, next up on the run. Stocks hit

206
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: all time highs yesterday, and we're talking all of them,

207
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: the Dow, the S and P, and the Nasdaq. They

208
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: all closed at record highs yesterday.

209
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dow closed up six hundred and seventeen points,

210
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: closed at forty six and eight. This is the first time,

211
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: but Dow has ever crossed the forty six thousand marks.

212
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: So exactly what's going on out there? Well, this, apparently, Robes.

213
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: A lot of investors are anticipating what the Fed is

214
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 2: going to do later this month with interest rates. They

215
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: believe now the things have been put into place with

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: his latest inflation data, things or about what they thought

217
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: they were going to be. They feel like their stability

218
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: and now the road has been paved for the Fit

219
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: to cut interest rates, and so they're excited about that,

220
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: and they reacted yesterday, and we're at all time highs.

221
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: All we're here. We'll always talk about the rich getting richer,

222
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: But who in the country right now feels like, wow,

223
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: things really took off for me yesterday.

224
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Well, if you've got your four oh one k invested

225
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: in the right places, I guess you saw in that sense,

226
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: all boats rise in that moment when the stock market

227
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: goes up. If you've got money in the invested in

228
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: any way, yeah, you won too. Little guys as well, Yeah.

229
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure it felt that way to them yesterday. Robes. Well,

230
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: I'll stay with those folks here on this morning run.

231
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: When we come back, I am going to explain why

232
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: Robes is so wrong about how the little guys should

233
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: be feeling right now based on inflation.

234
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: Shit, if you get a four oh one k in

235
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: the market, that's it. That's it, four one k and

236
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: ira something like that.

237
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm just teasing you. I will though, when we come back,

238
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: allow her to continue to put said foot in that mouth.

239
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: Also when we come back, there is a bit big

240
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: Fed Reserve meeting we're talking about coming up soon, and

241
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: the President is once again making sure at least one

242
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: Fed governor is not at that meeting.

243
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday morning run. And we just

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: heard TJ talk about how investors like what they heard

245
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: yesterday with all that new inflation data, stock markets all

246
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: time high. Well, investors might have liked those numbers, but

247
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: most Americans can't be too happy about them, because the

248
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: Labor Department's data shows inflation, yes did increase last month,

249
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: with Americans paying more from groceries.

250
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: To gas that consummer prices were up to point nine

251
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 2: percent last month. That's an even higher increase from July

252
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: when inflation was at two point seven percent. We also

253
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: paid more for new and used cars, clothing, and airfare.

254
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: In August, the Financial experts out there think Trump's tariffs

255
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 2: may have contributed to some of the higher prices we've

256
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: been seeing, from coffee to bananas to clothing.

257
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: And yes, all of those higher prices will play into

258
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserves decision next week regarding those interest rates.

259
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: In despite all of that data, yes, most analysts do

260
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: expect the Fed to lower interest rates. The prediction is

261
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: by a quarter percentage point to help with the sagging

262
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: job market. But it is still anyone's guest. They don't

263
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: know which way the Federal Reserve is going to go,

264
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: and sometimes they have surprised us.

265
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: You go, what's the over under? How many times is

266
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: the President going to call your own Powell? Too late? Powell?

267
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: Yes, it's gonna probably start on Monday, maybe even Sunday night.

268
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: And final leg here we stick with the Federal Reserve. Yes,

269
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: they have a meeting next week. They're going to decide

270
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 2: about interest rates. Just mean they're gonna decide a lot

271
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: about your next loan. Maybe. Well, the President is making

272
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: one last effort to try and make sure that Federal

273
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: Reserve Governor Lisa Cook isn't a part of that decision.

274
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: Yes, Trump, as you may remember, fired Cook from the

275
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: board last month after accusing her of making false claims

276
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: on mortgage applications, but on Tuesday, a US district judge

277
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: blocked that firing, saying Trump has not stated a legally

278
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: permissible cause for Cook's removal. So in response, yesterday, the

279
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Trump administration asked a federal appeals court to lift that

280
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: ruling blocking the president from firing Cook.

281
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: And here is their case, and I quote here. The evidence,

282
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: which Cook has yet to offer a contrary explanation for,

283
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: was that she applied for two loans for her personal

284
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: benefit and was able to obtain favorable interest rates by

285
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: misrepresenting where she lived. Regardless of whether that misconduct occurred

286
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: before or during office, it indisputably calls into question Cook's

287
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: trustworthiness and whether she can be a responsible steward of

288
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: the interest rates and economy for the whole nation. That's

289
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: the key point. I think her lawyers are saying this

290
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: conduct is outside I don't even know if they've direct

291
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: I think they're saying they're denying the allegation, but they're

292
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: also saying it was before she was in her current role,

293
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: so it doesn't apply.

294
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: Correct. So Cook's lawyer also maintained that the government's accusations

295
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: are unsubstantiated and vague, and called the appeal wholly unwarranted.

296
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: Here's my favorite part. The Trump administration asked for the

297
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: appeals Court to act by the end of the day Monday,

298
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: noting that the Feds are set to have their meeting

299
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday.

300
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: They are really trying to get her out of there.

301
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: He wants to ensure that the interest rates are cut,

302
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: and he wants to put He's already nominated someone to

303
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: take her place, so he wants his person in there

304
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: to ensure he'll have a majority, which he believes will

305
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: ensure the fact that the Feds will, yes, in fact,

306
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: cut interest rates. I'm curious if Cook is on the

307
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: board next week when this decision comes down, if she's

308
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: so upset by everything he's done, if that will influence

309
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: her at all. I mean, it's interesting to see, like

310
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: how all of this plays out into the psyche.

311
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: Yes, she is not going to mess with the world

312
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: economy because of a personal red strip with Trump. She is.

313
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: I don't know this woman at all. I wager she's

314
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: not that kind of petty.

315
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: I think that she wouldn't want to have that be

316
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: the optics at the very.

317
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: Least before we let you get going on this Friday,

318
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: something we like for you to take with you, something

319
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: to consider. It is our quote of the day.

320
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest

321
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: loss is what dies inside us while we live.

322
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: Woo. That is scary.

323
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: And this comes from He's a late he died many

324
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: many years ago, but he was a political journalist. His

325
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: name is Norman Cousins, so he was very well versed

326
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: in politics and perhaps how that can suck the life

327
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: out of you. Now I am totally editorializing here, but

328
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: I did think this was an amazing quote and something

329
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: to ponder as we decide how we live each day,

330
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: each moment.

331
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: We're so scared of death, right, We're not scared of life.

332
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 2: We're not scared of squandering moving every single day. We

333
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: don't fear that enough. Yeah, I love this one.

334
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: Go call the David all right, death is not the

335
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies

336
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: inside us while we live. And without everyone, thank you

337
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: for running with us.

338
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holme Seeyll Soon
