Good 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.320 morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Ron. 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.520 It's Wednesday, June fourth. I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.160 Holmes. Detained and soon deported. The family of the Boulder 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.000 terroriff suspect could be out of the country, that is, 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.239 if they aren't charged with a crime first. Also on 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.000 the Run this morning is the Billionaire romance breaking down 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:31.680 after Elon Musk called Trump's Big Beautiful Bill a disgusting abomination. 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.680 Plus, as of midnight today, Trump's tariffs on steel imports 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.960 have doubled, from cars to canned goods. We're gonna tell 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.160 you what could soon cost you more. Plus Defense Secretary 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.239 Pete Hegseth removes the name of a gay rights activist 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.479 from a naval ship as Gay Pride Month gets underway. 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.960 Also this morning, a massive dust cloud is headed for 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:56.520 the US by the weekend courtesy of the Sahara Desert. Also, 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.440 one hundred thousand dollars in a brown paper bag that 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.000 was the focus of another full day of testimony in 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.200 the dinit trial, and. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.840 New Orleans police raid the home used in a social 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.319 media video by one of the escaped inmates still at large, 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.440 and they just had their best season in twenty five years, 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.320 so it seems like the perfect time for the Knicks 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.040 to fire their head coach. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.639 Also this morning, a new member to an elite music group. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.560 Another song has crossed the one billion streams mark, and 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.440 You're never gonna guess who it is. You're never gonna 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.320 guess at all. Will explain that story coming up? 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.360 Well done. I feel like, yeah, you could be the 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.200 new Rick Astley. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.360 If you gave it away, nobody was gonna be able 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.920 to guess. Why did you do that? I'd set up 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:42.160 the hall. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:43.960 Every one was gonna be able to guess. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.760 No, they didn't. Black Focus did not know who I 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.480 was talking about with that song. 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:49.960 They probably still don't. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:54.880 Still it was Rick Astley, one of my favorites in 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:55.440 the eighties. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:56.760 But I digress. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.400 We shall begin this morning run In Colorado, the Department 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.440 of Homeland Security has detained the family members of the 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.040 Bolder terror attack. Suspect Mohammed Solomon's wife and his five 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.360 children are now in federal custody. They will be questioned 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.119 and ultimately deported. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.520 DHS has revoked their visas and will process them for 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.679 expedited removal that allows the government to deport people who 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.280 are in the US illegally without a court Hearing. Secretary 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.760 at Christino made the announcement on X, writing we are 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.640 investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.560 if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:34.520 support to it. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.800 Gnome went on to call Solomon an illegal alien and 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.960 a terrorist. Solomon is from Egypt, and he overstated his 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.160 visa and has been in this country illegally since March. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.840 He's facing federal hate crime charges and sixteen counts of 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.320 attempted murder after police say he threw molotov cocktails at 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.960 peaceful protesters walking down a popular pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.880 Twelve people were injured and burned in that attack. He's 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.000 due back in court on Thursday, being held on ten 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.680 million dollars bond and robes. I mean by things he 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.240 has said already allegedly, this should be a quick legal process. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.000 He said he has no remorse, wanted to kill everybody. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.639 Yeah, and he said he'd do it again. So yes, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.200 we will see what happens with his family, but certainly 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:17.600 his fate seems fairly sealed. 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.360 Next up on our Run. Billionaire bros. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.680 Donald Trump and Elon Musk seemed to wildly differ on 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.600 what to call Trump's massive legislative package currently making its 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.720 way through Congress. Trump has taken to calling it the 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.240 Big Beautiful Bill. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.880 Musk has now taken to calling it a disgusting abomination. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.320 Doesn't really have the same ring to it, but in language. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.920 They caught a few folks, including some at the White House, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.160 off guard. The world's richest man who doubled as Trump's 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.440 best friend during the campaign and for several months of 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.080 his term in office. This year, well, he came out 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.680 swinging against the legislation, writing on X I'm sorry, but 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.560 I just can't stand it anymore. As if outrageous pork 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:06.400 filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination, Shame on 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.720 those who voted for it. You know you did wrong. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.440 You know it whoo wow. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.080 He does not mince words. Musk, who in his role 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:18.360 at DOGE was tasked with cutting government waste, had previously 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.479 expressed some reservations about the spending and the Big Beautiful Abomination, 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.400 but his latest statements went way further. He went on 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.159 to say that the bill will massively increase the already 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:34.640 gigantic budget deficit and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.039 And he warned that we will fire all politicians who 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:39.839 betrayed the American people. 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.080 So what does Trump think about this? Well, the White 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.680 House did give some reaction. They said the President they 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.320 were already aware of how Musk felt about the bill, 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.320 and his words change nothing. They are full steam ahead. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.960 The bill has passed the House and it's under consideration 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.600 in the Senate as we speak. Do you think that's 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.480 going to catch on the big beautiful abomination. I'm putting 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:58.920 that out there. 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.880 Well, y imash up there. I think the Democrats might 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.719 lean into that. And you know, of note, you know 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.240 that perhaps you've done something to upset Trump. When Chuck 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.520 Schumer agrees with what was once your best friend. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.680 He probably can't even believe what came out of his mouth. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.160 Chuck Schumer said, I agree with Elon Musk. I had 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.040 to find like ten sources. Did he really say that? 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:19.640 Uh? 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.960 Yes, in fact he did. All right. 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.160 Next up on our run, we're talking tariffs, and at 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.799 this point we just want to tell you the listener, 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.240 we get it. We understand when you hear the word tariffs, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.040 if your eyes glaze over and. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.960 You kind of tune out, we kind of do the 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:36.440 same thing. 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.920 But we had to actually focus on this one because 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.719 there has been so much back and forth in the 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.640 trade war. Tariffs imposed, then they're paused, then they're blocked 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.200 by a court, then they're unblocked by another court, and 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.640 then there's more lawsuits, and it goes on and on and. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:50.040 On and on. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.360 So thus, yes, we glaze over, but there is a quick, 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.599 important and potentially impactful tariff update. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.040 We have to have you here. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.320 Promise this will be quick. The intro is that actually 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.479 longer than the actual information. The President will let you know. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.640 Has doubled the tariffs on steel and aluminum products to 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.760 fifty percent. Yes, they have been doubled. That's a big deal. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.640 It went into effect, Adams as of midnight last night. Now, 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.239 this is a move that's meant to bolster American industry, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.720 protect American jobs. The fear, of course, is that companies 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.400 that depend on foreign steal and aluminum to make products 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.880 will eventually pass the higher cost on to you. We 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.880 don't know how soon. It won't be immediate, but the 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.560 experts will tell you in the coming weeks and coming months, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:34.360 things like appliances, cars, anything that has steel aluminum in it. Now, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.719 a lot of folks here that I say, I'm not 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.320 in the market for a major appliance. I'm not in 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.920 the market for a car, big deal. I should be okay, 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.120 the ropes, I didn't think about it either. The grocery aisles. Yes, 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.880 there's are nothing but containers made of steel and aluminum 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.039 that you buy your food in. So grocery prices could 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:51.680 be impacted by it. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.839 Yeah, soup, canned goods, beer, anything that has say it 0:06:54.839 --> 0:07:00.360 one more time, beer that got your attention right Next 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.279 up on the run. Just in time for Pride Month, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.840 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth is removing the name of a 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.960 gay rights activist from one of its ships. There will 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.239 no longer be a ship named the USNS Harvey Milk, 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.160 and according to a Defense official, the timing was intentional. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:22.880 Pride Month and they are taking a gay rights icon. 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.280 They are removing his name. It's one thing to be 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.000 a decision to not use his name for something, but 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.120 it's already there and you're taking it all. This feels 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:32.640 so mean. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.440 Oh, it's it's this fee deliberate, it's intentional. They have 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.480 made comments about Pride Month before, so or you know, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.680 at least not even veiled comments about Pride Month. So yes, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.440 this this stinks. 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.640 This one's a tough one. Milk. Of course, as many 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.520 as you know, one of the first openly gay men 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.320 elected to office in this country served on the San 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.600 Francisco Board of Supervisors. This was nineteen seventy seven. He 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.520 was assassinated a year later. Became or it really began 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.880 his career by enlisting in the Navy, where he served 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.680 four years, attended officer candidate school, was discharged from the 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.000 Navy after being threatened with a court martial because he 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:09.440 was gay. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.320 Yeah, and you know, by the way, I also did 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.640 a deeper dive. Both of his parents served as in 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.600 the Navy, So this is a family of service, a 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.680 family who has a long history with the Navy. So 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.679 a new name has not been announced for this ship, 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.200 but the USNS Harvey Milk was just one of several 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.440 ships named after activists and civil rights leaders, and officials 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:33.640 say those ship names are also under review. Names like 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:38.760 Thurgood Marshall, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Harriet Tubman, just to name 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.000 a few these are all up for consideration of being 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.560 removed and renamed. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.440 It feels so mean, is I know the DEI and 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.120 they defended this. The Pentagon say we're doing this, We're 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.720 going to get in line with the President's priorities and 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.640 our military priorities. All of that is fine. Does that 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:01.200 mean we cannot honor anyone who wasn't a straight white 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.280 man in history? 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.360 It actually makes me feel physically ill, Like to see 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:12.559 there's this move is, yes, it is. It has an impact. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.600 It's not just what's in a name. Everything Sometimes and 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.600 remembering and honoring to seemingly erase what these men and 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.840 women have done and contributed to make our country. 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.520 What it is today. It feels really sick and sad the. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.840 Idea that no one can contribute to this country unless 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.480 you are a straight white man. There are so many 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:39.800 other contributions that people made for different communities, whether it's women, minorities, gay, whatever, 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.120 And to think we can't honor. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.920 And yeah, to honor people who were the first. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.000 And this one's on Pride month that even. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.560 That just it's a gut punch. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.040 It seems so hot. That's a tough one. They will 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.480 continue Wednesday, right on this Wednesday morning run. Well from 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.880 this one's ominous, I swear we've seen this horror movie yet. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.199 Next up on the run, here we have a massive 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.520 cloud that has blanketed the Caribbean and it's headed to 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.880 the US later this week. This is a massive cloud 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:12.000 of dust from the Sahara Desert. It's causing hazy skies 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.360 and folks, yes having some issues. If you got asthma, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.600 you got allergies out there, a lot of sneezing and 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.720 watery eyes for the people in its path. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:20.920 And you know it's a big deal. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.240 When a hurricane expert says this, it's very impressive. That 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.640 was the reaction. But if you go and take a look, 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.560 if you go online and look at the map and 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.319 see where this cloud of dust is over basically all 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.079 the beautiful Caribbean islands that those four folks are either 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.480 visiting or live in and are having to deal with 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.440 the dust clouds. Coverage extends for more than two thousand miles. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.400 That's how big it is. And it's coming for the 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:48.800 US next. Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi are all in 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:49.319 its path. 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.680 Great, don't we have enough problems during hurricane season down there. 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.480 Now we got dust. Experts say the dust concentration in 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.800 this cloud is especially high, so folks with allergies, asthma 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.000 breathing conditions need to actually remain in store indoors or 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.400 wear a face mask when outside. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:05.120 Okay, So, I. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.720 Don't know, have you ever heard of this phenomenon, the 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.440 cloud dust dust cloud. We've been in news and this 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.920 would be a classic local news story. People, you know, 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.040 we would love to report on this. I don't remember this, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.720 but apparently these types of dust clouds periodically occur. In 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.680 June of twenty twenty, there was actually a record breaking 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.400 dust cloud over the Caribbean. It was so big and 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.960 the dust was so concentrated. Whether experts said it was 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.559 called the Godzilla dust cloud. Let's hope this one doesn't 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.319 get a moniker as well. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.200 June of twenty twenty. We were all busy at the time. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.160 We were all indoors, actually wearing masks, so we were 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.800 prepared for the dust cloud because we were all trying 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.720 to stay away from COVID dead. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:44.959 Timing really is amazing. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.040 That's why we don't remember that. There were a few 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.439 other priorities at that point. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.080 All right, next up on the run. Here are well 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.200 our daily leg of the run that we run through 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.640 downtown Manhattan, yes where the Diddy trial and what a 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.640 day it was yesterday. Much of the test money focused 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.280 on one hundred thousand dollars in a brown paper bag. 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.760 That is what Sean Combs allegedly paid to make sure 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.600 the public never saw that hotel surveillance video of him 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.920 assaulting his ex Cassie been tour refined. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.480 Eddie Garcia, a hotel security guard, testified that did he 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.160 reached out immediately after the incident and offered to pay 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.000 one hundred thousand dollars for what he thought was the 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.680 only copy of that surveillance video. He said he personally 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.360 met with Diddy gave him the USB drive with what 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.200 was believed to be the only copy of the video. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.480 Did he, he said, pulled out one hundred thousand dollars 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.040 in cash out of a paper bag as well as 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.640 a money counting machine, and he distributed it. I think 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.199 his boss got fifty thousand. Eddie himself took thirty thousand. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.880 He gave a coworker twenty thousand. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.640 Yeah, so they spread the love around. Garcia said that 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.959 Diddy later called him and put Cassie on the phone, 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.000 and she explained she also didn't want that video to 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.280 come out because she had a movie coming out and 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:56.840 it was going to be bad for her if that 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.000 video ever became public. Also in the stand yesterday, Derek Ferguson, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.559 he was with Ditty for some twenty years, worked for 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.679 him as his chief financial officer. He was there to 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.200 walk the jury through financial structure of some of Ditty's businesses, 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.800 but said he never rose. He walked on for twenty years. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.200 He never saw Diddy or anybody else do anything illegal, 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.840 anything violent. He said he didn't see a thing. So 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.760 testimony continues this morning, expecting a forensic video expert to 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.679 be up first, and then Brianna Bongolan, who says Diddy 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.400 actually dangled her off of a balcony. She's supposed to 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.120 be up next, and then robes everybody waiting for Jane, 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.880 another woman who will be testifying under a pseudonym to 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.320 protect her identity in court. But she was in a 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.440 relationship of some kind of romantic relationship with Ditty at 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.560 some point, but her testimony expected today. 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.360 All right, next up on the run, We're going to 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.360 head to New Orleans where police raided the home that 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.960 was apparently used by one of those two remaining escaped 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.760 inmates for a now deleted social media post. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:55.040 Yeah, we talked about this on yesterday's Morning Ron about 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.880 Antoine Massey in his Instagram video where he said he 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.240 didn't escape from jail, he was let out. He also 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:06.080 bizarrely asked for help from Lol Wayne and President Trump. 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.400 Authority say they found clothing belonging to Massi at that home, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.480 but he was long gone by the time they got there. 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.280 Yeah. Relatives of Massey recognized the residents from the video 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.400 and alerted authorities. The owner of the home told reporters 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.360 it was being rented, but then he refused to name 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.640 his tenant. I'm sure police probably got that out of him, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.400 but he wouldn't give it to reporters who were asking. Massey, 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.440 along with convicted murderer Derrick Groves, are still on the 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.400 run after a total of ten inmates escaped from that 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:32.880 New Orleans jail all the way back. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.840 On May sixteenth. And by the way, this home that they. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.920 Raided where he did the social media video, just like 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.760 a few days ago, was just. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.600 Two miles from the jail where he escaped. 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.240 Wow, So they at least know he didn't or he 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.280 hasn't gone far as off yet. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.840 Do they know when the video is recorded? Because to 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.320 think he's been on the run for almost two weeks 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.560 and he's only two miles from the jail remarkable. 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.360 Yep, that was a big exclamation point for me. 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.480 Wow, all right, And that other part the relatives they 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.800 called and said, we recognized the house. You know, so 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.200 many folks have been getting arrested for helping these guys. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.080 It's funny now to hear folks say, yeah, that's him 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:09.920 and he's at this place. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.720 You want to know why because there's a fifty thousand 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.040 dollars reward on his head, so that might be motivating 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.600 to relatives and friends alike. 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.560 He thought it was the goodness of their hearts. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:20.680 Nay, it was the money. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.960 We'll stay with us, folks on this Wednesday morning run 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.880 when we come back. The New York Knicks had us 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.080 all a buzz here in this city after the best 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.240 season they've had in twenty five years, so it's the 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.280 perfect time to fire the head coach. Also, no reason 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.360 to tease the other story, because Roboc already gave it 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:50.640 away already about Rick Ashley dude, we continue now on 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.000 this Wednesday morning, Ron, And it was so fun here 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.040 in New York, Robes in recent weeks because the Knicks 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.440 were good. The Knicks had it going all and then 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.200 had a great run in the playoffs and came oh 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.520 so close to getting to the NBA Finals. It's the 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:10.560 closest they come to making the finals in twenty five years. So, Robes, 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.760 this is the perfect time for the team to fire 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:17.800 the head coach. Folks, they fired the head coach yesterday, 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:19.240 Tom Thibodeau. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:22.240 Yeah, you sent me the link and I think I 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:23.360 texted you back. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.160 WTF. It's a head scratcher. 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.400 Not only had he just led the Knicks to their 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.960 best playoff performance in yes twenty five years, the team's 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.080 also won fifty games in back to back seasons, something 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.800 the team has not done in twenty years. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.960 So why do it now? This is how the team 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:40.760 explained it. 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:45.800 Our organization is singularly focused on winning a championship. This 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.320 pursuit led us to the decision to inform Tom Thibodeaux 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.040 that we've decided to move in another direction. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.400 You didn't win, you get fired. 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.800 But they exceeded expectations they were supposed to lose to 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.280 Boston actually the playoffs and they beat Boston and they 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.399 only came two games. They lost in six games to 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:09.000 the Pacers. For God's sake, they look they out, they 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.000 outdid the expectations. Why fire him? Now? There's something we 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.000 don't know, I'm sure. But there's one knock against Thibideau 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.240 is that there's only so far you can go with him. 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.359 He is a good, respected coach, but he has the 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.920 highest robes winning percentage among all coaches all time who 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:30.200 never made it to the finals. Okay, so he's really 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.520 really good, one of the best coaches. But he will 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.800 only get you so far, is what some are arguing. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:38.679 Possibly it's what they were thinking. 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:39.280 Huh. 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.679 It's still a head scratcher, all right. Well for the 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.159 final leg of our run. A song from nineteen eighty 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:49.800 seven is a certified Spotify hit today and has joined 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.240 an exclusive club, the Spotify Billion Download Club. The latest 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.400 number of the club never Gonna Give You Up? 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:58.560 From Rick Astley. 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.800 Yeah, the song debut didn't nineteen eighty seven on Ashley's 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.360 debut solo album. He was really young at the time, twenties. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.320 I saw his age. Now he's only fifty seven or something. 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.280 He's Oh wow, I thought he'd be. No, he was 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:12.800 a very young guy, a heart throb. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:14.800 Don't have it right? Oh yeah, I mean I don't 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.000 know that I was, but I love that song. I 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.840 danced around to it non stop in my bedroom. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.359 That song reached number one on the charts all over 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.760 the world. Again, that was nineteen eighty seven, but it 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:29.240 found new popularity in the two thousands with Rickrolling. Did 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:29.840 you know about this? 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:30.120 No? 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.240 Okay, it became a thing online. Well I didn't know 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:34.960 what it was, but it was online. It was a 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.680 meme situation type thing where people were being tricked into 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.000 going to a website only to discover that Ashley's video 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.280 and song we're playing. So it became kind of just 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.439 a funny joke people were doing to each other online 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:47.639 and his song got popular. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.040 That's funny and it's a catchy song. It really it 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:51.920 holds like I love that song. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.520 But I didn't know about this name. Neither did you? 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.200 Because we're probably too old. Isn't this something the young 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:56.720 folks do? 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.000 Well, I'm we look online. We're just not as interesting. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.159 And some things that other folks are. 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.359 Online, well, TikTok and memes and all that stuff. I 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:05.720 think we larger, Yeah. 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.520 We just were. Yeah we're too old anyway. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.280 Because of that, his song found a new audience, yes, 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.399 a younger audience, I would argue, and has been racking 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:17.680 up the downloads, finally crossing that billion download mark this week. 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.639 So never gonna give you up. It's just the latest 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.560 song to reach that milestone. But it's a rarity that 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.320
