Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, Welcome to Morning Run. It is Thursday,

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: November thirteenth. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 3: Holmes.

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, not to our members

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: of Congress, but to the seven hundred and thirty thousand

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: folks out there, robes who have been working for the

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: past forty three days unpaid, missing paychecks, and they kept

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: the country going.

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 4: Yes, thank god for them.

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: We need them, we count on them, we rely on them,

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: and they've been treated terribly over the past month and

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: a few days.

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Yes, seven hundred and thirty thousand federal workers considered a

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: central happened, con essential happened, continuing to come to work

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: and rose. They are the heroes in this. There's nobody

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: in Washington who should take credit. We did the right thing.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: These folks are the heroes who whether it's tsa VA,

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: medicare all those folks have to keep going, those things

20
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: have to keep running. Air traffic controllers kept us in

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the air.

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 4: Thank you, yes, thank you. Yet almost six weeks, six

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: weeks without.

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: Pay, that is something that most people cannot afford.

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: And yet they had to figure out how to do it.

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: You know what, you're not getting paid doing some of

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: the most important work in the federal government in air

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: traffic controller. You don't want I would have donated. This

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: is one thing you want to donate. I would donate.

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: I don't want that person stressed out.

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 4: No, no, when safety is on the line. Absolutely not.

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: But we thought we had to start. But just with that, yes,

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: you all know the shutdown is over. We'd get into

34
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: some of the details. With some of the stuff in there,

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: we can't even believe what's coming. But this is a

36
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: good news. Officially the government has reopened today. We'll get

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: into all that. But also on the run this morning,

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: there's an Epstein vote that's imminent, Diddy's release pushback. Senators

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: want you to pay them half a mill an expensive

40
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: name change to tell you about. And we have a long, long,

41
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: overdue quote of the day. You'll know we do these

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: every single day. Today is a very special one that

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: in fact, we didn't plan on doing, but we had

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: to include it because Robes heard it this morning and

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: it had her in tears when she heard it. Even

46
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: though Robes, you heard it fifty times before.

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: It right gets you every time, But every time I

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: see this quote, and I hear it delivered by the

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: person who said it, I lose it. It's a reminder,

50
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: and yes, cannot wait to get to that. But let's

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: begin our run with the big news. Finally, the shutdown

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: is over. The government has reopened. Federal workers are being

53
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: told to return to work today after forty three days,

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: the longest shutdown in US history. President Trump last night

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: signed the compromise bill to reopen the government.

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: And in case you're wondering, the House did vote. These

57
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: were the numbers, two hundred and twenty two to two

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: nine to approve this measure. Six Dmocrats voted with Republicans

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: to approve the bill. Actually two Democrats voted excuse me,

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: two Republicans voted with Democrats to oppose it. The bill

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: does not include those healthcare subsidies roads. This was the

62
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: whole point, the whole justification for the Democrats shutting down

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: the government is that they insisted on getting these healthcare

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: subsidies and ropes.

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: They are not in this bill.

66
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: That is got to feel and sound so frustrating to

67
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: the folks who were so deeply affected. This bill funds

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 2: the government through the end of January. Hopefully, I say,

69
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: hopefully giving Congress enough time to negotiate that long term deal.

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: And if they don't, yeah, this might be groundhog Day

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: all over again.

72
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: At the end of January.

73
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: The government reopened today and officially the clock is ticking

74
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: on the next shutdown is where.

75
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: We do you think lessons have been learned?

76
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

77
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: They would be political lessons for them, only only what

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: they if they see polling that says yep. This was

79
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: our came to our advantage to keep hurting the American people.

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: They will continue to do it if they think they're

81
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: gaining any ground.

82
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: And the problem is twenty twenty six is in midterm

83
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: election year, a very important year politically and we I'm

84
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: sorry this might sound cynical. It's just from experience. This

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: is how they vote. It determines whether or not they

86
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: get re elected. Yes.

87
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: Period.

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: So a short time after the President's signature reopened the government.

89
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: That was obviously great news, we got some more good news.

90
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: The FAA is going to cap flight cancelations at six

91
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: percent for now. This was I didn't expect this news

92
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: so soon after, but this news came fairly immediately after.

93
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: This is huge because I was questioning why are they

94
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 2: continuing to ramp up cancelations if the government is now

95
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: officially reopened.

96
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: So this is a huge relief for a lot of folks.

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: The plan had been for flight cancelations to go up

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: to eight percent today and then ten percent tomorrow, but

99
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said they are seen a rapid

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: decline in callouts from air traffic controllers.

101
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the six percent reduction currently in place will

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: remain indefinitely. Don't know when that might end, but it's

103
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: staying there for now. And as they put it, they

104
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: are assessing whether the system can gradually return to normal operations. Still,

105
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: the cancelations of their ropes. This is a good good

106
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: sign for them to say, we don't have to do anymore.

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: We can just hold This is a very positive note.

108
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Oh yes, we're vera and anyone who was worried about

109
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: their Thanksgiving travel plans, and certainly understandably, so I feel

110
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: like now you can kind of your shoulders can relax.

111
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: They can drop not out of the woods, out of

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: the US, but not as scary.

113
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, now get this, folks.

114
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Just as soon as they pass this damn bill, Congress

115
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: is already trying to repeal at least part of it.

116
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: This is insane. You got to listen to this. The

117
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: House is now going to vote next week on repealing

118
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 2: a provision that some say was slipped into the bill,

119
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: and nobody seems to be sure or willing to confess

120
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 2: where it came from and who is responsible for it.

121
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: What is this provision, you ask, Well, it allows senators

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: to sue the government and be awarded a minimum of

123
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars in taxpayer money. Say what now, Well,

124
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: let us explain.

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: Now.

126
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: You remember earlier this year when it was revealed that

127
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: eight Republican senators had their phone records obtained without their

128
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: knowledge as part of a then DOJ attorney Jacksmiths investigated

129
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: into the January sixth attacks. That was a big deal

130
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: for these senators to hear that their information had been

131
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: taken without their knowledge. Well, the provision and the funding

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: bill now would allow those senators to sue and be

133
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: paid a minimum robes of five hundred thousand dollars if

134
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: they win their case against the government. Again, that's just

135
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: the minimum amount.

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: They would get.

137
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: Whoo.

138
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: Speaker Johnson said this. He was shocked and angry when

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: he found out of it at the eleventh hour, So

140
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: who did.

141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: This ropes They don't. Nobody's taking responsibility. Nobody said, well

142
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: where to come in? Well, I don't know who put

143
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: it in there? Well who's job?

144
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: What?

145
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: They're absolutely there's nobody ability. There was one outlet. They

146
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: called every single office to try to find out, and

147
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: everybody's like.

148
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: M wasn't me, wasn't me.

149
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: So they're arguing now Rode that they are going to

150
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: vote and get that taken out now, and some are

151
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: coming out and say, yeah, of course it shouldn't be

152
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: in there, but nobody knows.

153
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: You know what though, It's just just when we need

154
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: to start rebuilding trust again in our government and the

155
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: people who we have elected to lead our government. This

156
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: is just gross, like when no one, like if someone

157
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: just said, okay, it was me, you know, the fact

158
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: that no one's admitting it that I feel like we're

159
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: dealing with children.

160
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: The argument some are standing by say well, the reason

161
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: this is there, let me just put this out there,

162
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: saying we want to make sure this can never happen again,

163
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: So we want to make an example and make it

164
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: so punitive.

165
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: And line our pockets with that money.

166
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: Well maybe I'm sure they're going to donate it.

167
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: To Jerry uh huh, but it's taxpayer dollars. We've been

168
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: through enough. We've been through enough, all right, now that

169
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: they're all finally back at work and the government has

170
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: reopened one of their first orders of business, Jeffrey Epstein, you.

171
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Can't make this stuff up. So Speaker Johnson said he

172
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: is now going to call a vote next week on

173
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: releasing the Epstein files. At this point, I don't even

174
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: know what the Epstein files are. I guess just everything

175
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: y'all got put it out there now. The Speaker Johnson

176
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: is not doing this out of the kindness of his

177
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: own heart. His hand is being forced after House members

178
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: collected enough signatures to compel the Speaker to call this vote.

179
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: So news of this vote comes after yesterday's release of

180
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: years old Epstein emails by the House Oversight Committee, and

181
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: of course, one of the big headlines we have a

182
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: whole podcast on this that we put out yesterday that

183
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: Epstein wrote that Trump quote knew about the girls end quote,

184
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: and he wrote in an email that Trump had spent

185
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: hours at Epstein's home with Virginia Geuffrey. So we just

186
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: want to put this out there. President Trump has never

187
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: been accused of wrongdoing. He's always denied that he did

188
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: anything criminal, and even Virginia Dufrey herself said he was

189
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: always pleasant around here. So no one's suggesting that President

190
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: Trump did anything with these girls.

191
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: It the suggestion is, or at least the absolute outright.

192
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: Statement is from Epstein that Trump knew what was going

193
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: on in his home.

194
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: Continuing on the run here now with Diddy.

195
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: His expected release date is all over the place, robes.

196
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: It's changed already now. He's only been in prison for

197
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: Dick's Prison in New Jersey for about two weeks.

198
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: Been eventful two weeks.

199
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: I was gonna say lots happened in those two weeks.

200
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: Originally did He's release date was listed as May eighth,

201
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, but now it's changed to June fourth,

202
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. That's about a month later than originally

203
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: listed by the Federal Bureau of Prison's inmate records. There

204
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: has been no explanation given from the prison as to

205
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: why there is this change in date, but it does

206
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: come after there were some reported rules violations, including misuse

207
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: of Ditty's phone privileges. Within like a few days of

208
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: him getting there.

209
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: And that's when we know CBS obtained the records that's verifiable.

210
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: That one is verified. And this was a it was

211
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: a three way call. He wasn't supposed to add somebody

212
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: to the call. You can only call one person.

213
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 4: They are your violation of prison rules. You can't.

214
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: You can only have certain people that are already on

215
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: a pre approved phone list. And so if someone brings

216
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: someone else in, you could bring anyone in who isn't

217
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: approved to be on the phone list.

218
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: Big deal, all right, So TMZ. In addition to that, though,

219
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: they reported that he was caught with homemade prison alcohol,

220
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: but his reps came out publicly vehemently denied that, so

221
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: that one's up in the air. But a month got added.

222
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: He's been in prison for two weeks and he's already

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: had a month added to his seat.

224
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: And it's interesting because the records that CBS obtained about

225
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: his phone violations specifically stated their recommendation for what the

226
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: punishment should be, and that was basically ninety days without

227
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: PHAM privileges and ninety days without extra commissary privileges. So

228
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: it had no mention of a pushed back prison release.

229
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: Date, and the reason we say is a thing is

230
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: all over the place.

231
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: As soon as he got in there, we got confirmation

232
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: he was in this rehab program that can cut up

233
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: to a year off your sentence, and now he got

234
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: a month.

235
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: So I don't know, there's going to be a ditty

236
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: update like every few days.

237
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: This is what it's supposed to get. Quiet.

238
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 4: It's a leaky prison. Apparently.

239
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: Continuing on the run here on this Friday e folks,

240
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: we want to mention here thoughts and prayers of many

241
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: this morning are with Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader,

242
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: civil rights icon really at this point has been hospitalized

243
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: this morning.

244
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been under observation for progressive super nuclear palsy.

245
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 2: It's a rare degenerative condition. He was diagnosed with it

246
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: back in April, and he's eighty four years old. He's

247
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: already been diagnosed and is deal with Parkinson's for more

248
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: than a decade now. So he's battling a lot of

249
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: things right now. He's at an age where that is

250
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: scarier than typical. So our thoughts and prayers are certainly

251
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: with him and his family.

252
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: All right, folks, and stay with us here on this

253
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: Thursday morning run when we come back, folks, it's a

254
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: rap for those pennies, but don't throw them out. We'll explain.

255
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: Also coming up, we've seen a lot of companies, even

256
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: a lot of celebrities go through name changes. Nobody has

257
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: had one that's about to be as expensive as the

258
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defenses new business cards. All right, folks, let's

259
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: continue on this Thursday morning run. Calling Pete Hegseth the

260
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: Secretary of War instead of the Secretary of Defense. Is

261
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,359
Speaker 1: ropes a really costly proposition.

262
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: That's right, NBC News is reporting it is going to

263
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: potentially cost I would never have guessed.

264
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 4: This two that makes sense billion.

265
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: With the b dollars to go through the process of

266
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: changing the name of the Defense Department officially to the

267
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: War Department, as directed by President Trump via executive order.

268
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: According to NBC's sources, the cost of rewriting code for

269
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: all those Pentagon websites, changing signs, badges, letterheads, as well

270
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: as updating all this stuff at signage all over the world.

271
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: On our basis, yes, we'll cost upwards up two billion dollars.

272
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: Part of that.

273
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think about this, but they have a lot

274
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: of internal and external websites sites that we can jump

275
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: on as citizens. But think of all of that internal

276
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: stuff they have going on. They have to change and

277
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: rewrite all this code so everything says Department of War.

278
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: They said, that's tricky.

279
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 4: Why could that two billion dollars go to help? Who

280
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 4: could that serve?

281
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: How much good could that money do beyond a name change?

282
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: It's it's serving our messaging, and that two billion dollars

283
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: is going to send the message to everybody around the

284
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: war that we don't mess around.

285
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: Oh my god, all right.

286
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 2: A Pentagon spokesperson said they are quote aggressively implement and

287
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: implementing the name change, but it's not clear if everything

288
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: will get changed and just how soon those changes will

289
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: take place. One note, the administration can informally refer to

290
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: it as the Department of War.

291
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: To change the name officially would take an Act of Congress.

292
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 4: So if you can't change the.

293
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: Name officially without Congress voting to approve it, how can

294
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: they spend two billion dollars to change all of the

295
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: signage and to change all of the internal websites and external.

296
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: It's like, my full name is Lutilius Holmes Junior. I

297
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: go by TJ. Now if I in my professional career

298
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: over the past twenty five years. Want to go back

299
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: now and I want to change all of that stuff

300
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: to my official and my real name. A change like

301
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: you can do it, we will do it all the time.

302
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: So we can still refer to the Defense Department as

303
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: the War Department. But to actually change it officially, it

304
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: can't be done unless Congress does.

305
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: But how can they change signs then if Congress hasn't

306
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: approved it, that's not just colloquially calling it something different.

307
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: But to your point.

308
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: About my name there, I whoop up my point about

309
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: my name. I chose to just call myself TJ. I

310
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: didn't go to the government and go through a process

311
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: and do a legal name change. I just decided to

312
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: call myself TJ. You met, You've never called me anything

313
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: but TJ.

314
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: That's true.

315
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, So even when I'm mad at you, I don't

316
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: go to your lutilius.

317
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Yes, it's kind of the thing they're doing is like that.

318
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: I just I want everybody to call me this, and

319
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: that's what everybody's.

320
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: Gonna call me.

321
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: My business cards, my whole it's been that, But officially

322
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm still the Defense Department.

323
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's so worth two billion dollars.

324
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: You know what a lot of pennies in that two billion,

325
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: and there ain't no more for him because the penny

326
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: is officially over. As we wrap up this Thursday morning run,

327
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: pennies are officially over after two d and thirty years.

328
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: The last penny was minted yesterday, and Philadelphia administration made

329
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: the decision earlier this year to end production of the

330
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: one cent coin because frankly it was costing too much.

331
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: I support this, uh I do. It's annoying to have

332
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: to even like deal with pennies. Mass production of pennies

333
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: ceased months ago, by the way, but yesterday they minted

334
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: the final five. They will not go into circulation. They're

335
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: gonna be auctioned off instead. And by the way, do

336
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,479
Speaker 2: not throw away your pennies because they're still legal tender.

337
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: And will remain so.

338
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: And there are three hundred billion pennies still in circulation.

339
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: I actually had to look up how much that is.

340
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: Can you do the math? I'm terrible with this kind

341
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: of thing.

342
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: You I just need to.

343
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Take two zeros off of thirty three hundred billion, so

344
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: three billion.

345
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: It's thirty million, that's according to AI. My my whatever,

346
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: it's thirty million dollars. I cannot deal with all those zeros.

347
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: It'd be lovely to have to, but I don't deal

348
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: with all those zeros.

349
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: But is this an issue or not?

350
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: But it could have a financial implication here because people

351
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: are gonna use a lot of people still use cash,

352
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: use coins.

353
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: You go to a store, Oh yeah, are you around?

354
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: No pennies?

355
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: There?

356
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 3: Up around it?

357
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: You people? So I can I haven't used cash like pennies.

358
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: When if you actually pulled a penny out of your

359
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: pocket and put it down for tender, like legal tender

360
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: to actually pay for something I cannot remember.

361
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 3: You see a penny on the ground, you can pick.

362
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: It up all day long. You'll have good luck.

363
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: Was the last time you do that? You just walk

364
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: past a penny somebody?

365
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: I actually feel guilty when I do it that maybe

366
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: that's gonna give me bad luck.

367
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: So sometimes I've picked it up.

368
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: Please pick up your.

369
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: Pennies, folks, they are they're gonna be rarities soon enough.

370
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: Before we let you go, h something. We always like

371
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: to leave you with something where you consider as you

372
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: go about your day. It is our quote of the day,

373
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: and this one is the one we talked about off

374
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: the Top that had robes. Hey, look, I'll admit it

375
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: had me in tears ever since every time time I

376
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: hear it as well. But the context for it, it's

377
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: from Tony Todd, star of Candy Man and also star

378
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: of the Final Destination movies and the Final Final Destination

379
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: that came out this summer.

380
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: He played a role.

381
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: He had been sick with cancer for a long long time,

382
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: but they brought him back to be a part of

383
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: this movie and you could tell he was much thinner,

384
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: his voice was different, but he delivers just a golden

385
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: final moment for himself and Final Destination. And this is

386
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: the quote that sticks with us.

387
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: I intend to enjoy the time I have left, and

388
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: I suggest you do the same.

389
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 4: Life is precious. Enjoy every single second. You never know

390
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: when and.

391
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: The reason that's powerful words without the story, but knowing

392
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 1: those words were delivered by an iconic actor who's been

393
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: in some iconic roles and this was his final moment

394
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: in film, and that is the message he left us with.

395
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: And then he passed away, of course earlier this year,

396
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: and is just an incredible moment. And if you haven't

397
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: seen the movie, if you don't want to see the movie.

398
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: It's on HBO Max. Fast forward to that part. I

399
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: just listened. It's five minutes that he's in there.

400
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 4: The cool thing is the story.

401
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's a horror movie and it's all about you know,

402
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: death is coming for you. So he's telling this to

403
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: kids who are trying to cheat death basically, and he

404
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: said death is coming for all of us. Is what

405
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 2: he started out with, and it's just a reminder for

406
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: anyone who is battling something, who has lost someone. This

407
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: is a powerful quote. And to hear him deliver it

408
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: with such it was, yes, with his iconic voice, but

409
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 2: also with such purity and love and meaning, and it

410
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 2: was so deeply personal.

411
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: He wasn't just delivering a line in a movie.

412
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: He was speaking truth, and he was speaking from his

413
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 2: heart and what he was actually living and dealing with,

414
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: and that's what makes it so powerful.

415
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: So, folks, we incur, really really really. You don't have

416
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: to be a horror movie fan, but I It is

417
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: called Final Destination Bloodlines. It's the most recent Final Destination movie.

418
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: It's on HBO Max. If you don't want to, Yes,

419
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: we love the movie, watch the whole thing, but fast

420
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: forward to that part. And just listen to Tony Todd.

421
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: But again, I intend to enjoy the time I have left,

422
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: and I suggest you do the same. Life is precious.

423
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: Enjoy every single second. You never know when. Thank you,

424
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: Tony Todd. I wanted to reserve and not take this

425
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: moment to be offended once again at the Academy for

426
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: leaving him out of the end memorial.

427
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: I know we were just saying that if you know,

428
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: they loved him out, but if, man, if they had

429
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: just ended it with that line, because how cool? Who

430
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: do you know who has been able to deliver a

431
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: line like that within months of dying and have it

432
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: live on in a film like that for all to see.

433
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: I mean, how special is that? Thank you, Tony Todd.

434
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: Yes, and thank you all for running with us as
