My god, people have been waiting for 220 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: this for years, all right. Next up on our run, 221 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: President Trump, from the Oval Office yesterday accused a former 222 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: president of a crime that is punishable by death, the 223 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: crime treason. The former president Barack Obama. 224 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. President Trump was actually meeting with the President of 225 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: the Philippines in the Oval Office to tout a trade 226 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: deal when Trump went off on a treason tangent. So 227 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,479 Speaker 2: what prompted it? A question about Jeffrey Epstein. 228 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: Pivot hard All stories lead to Jeffrey Epstein over these 229 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: past few weeks. Well, a reporter asked a question about 230 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: the Epstein files, and the President, yes, pivoted to allegations 231 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: about the Obama administration. Here's what Trump said, It's time 232 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: to go after people. Obama's been caught directly. What they 233 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: did in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty is very criminal. 234 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: It's criminal at the highest level. The leader of the 235 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: gang was Barack Obama. Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard 236 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: of him except for the fact he gets shielded from 237 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: the press his entire life. So that's really the things 238 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: you should be talking about. Look, He's guilty. It's not 239 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: a question. This was treason. This was every word you 240 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: can think of. They try to steal the election. 241 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: Okay, so what is he talking about here? This follows 242 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: members of his administration saying recently that they've uncovered information 243 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: that shows Obama officials tried to undermine Trump's twenty sixteen victory. Again, 244 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: no evidence of this, No, this has been substantiated. The 245 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: President just went off on this thing yesterday. President Obama's office, 246 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: which doesn't often chime in on what Trump is up to, 247 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: said they could not let this one go and in 248 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 2: a statement said, quote out of respect for the office 249 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 2: of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the 250 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 2: constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House 251 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to 252 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous, and a week 253 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: attempt at distraction, a lot of stuff is coming up. 254 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: That's just like, where's this come from?

Well, 311 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: most folks will recognize it by another name that it 312 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: was given. It was called the Keeping Men Out of 313 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: Women's Sports Executive Order. That's the one that President Trump 314 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: signed not long after returning to office. The US Olympic 315 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: Committee says they are simply doing what President Trump has 316 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: told them they must do, saying, quote, as a federally 317 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations. 318 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: What are the International Olympic Committee's rules on transgender athletes? 319 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: They left it up to the country's individual Olympic committees 320 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: to do so. But then what happens when they all 321 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: have to compete. 322 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: That's what I'm asking, Right, We've never even had this 323 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: conversation before, have one. 324 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: We haven't had to. There have been trans athletes who 325 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: have competed before, actually have competed before in the Olympics. 326 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: So but now we had the boxer last year, they 327 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: were questioning whether or not she was actually a she. 328 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: So these debates, these conversations, they're not done this. 329 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: Hate God, no, it's not done. All right, Well there, yes, 330 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: more to come on that. But next up on our run, 331 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: we know this much Mexican coke is coming to America. 332 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Coca Cola says it will start selling a version of 333 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: coke this fall that uses real cane sugar instead of 334 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: high fruit dose corn syrup. 335 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: That company says this is part of its innovation agenda 336 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: and that this fall they would launch coke made with 337 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: US cane sugar to expand its product range. That's all 338 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 2: they're doing. Ropes, the company did not mention President Trump, 339 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: who last week jumped the gun and announced that he 340 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: had gotten Coca Cola to agree to change the formula. 341 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: Coca Cola's response at the time was simply that they 342 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: appreciated Trump's enthusiasm for their brand, but stopped short of 343 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: confirming that they would change their formula. The company already 344 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: uses cane sugar instead of high fructose corps instead of 345 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: high fructose corn syrup in coke sold in a number 346 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: of other countries, including Mexico. 347 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, folks, I did not realize actually Sabine was 348 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 2: the one that explained the bottles of coke that you see. 349 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: I just thought, oh, that's cool retro. No, it's actually 350 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 2: coke with cane sugar that comes from Mexico that some 351 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: people swear tastes better. I think it tastes better just 352 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: because it's in a cute little bottle. 353 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: It is in a cute bottle. 354 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: Right for the final leg of our run, Now, congratulations 355 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 2: to Venus Williams. She won a tennis match yesterday. She 356 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: didn't win a championship, she didn't even win a match 357 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: that was at a major tournament, but we congratulate her 358 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: because it was her first match after an almost two 359 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 2: year hiatus, and she is forty five years old. 360 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: Yes, she is now the second oldest woman to ever 361 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: win a tour level match. She beat Peyton Stearns, who's 362 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: a former NCAA champion, ranked number thirty five in the world, 363 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: and is twenty two years younger than Venus. In fact, 364 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: Venus had already won several majors before Stearn's was even born. 365 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 2: That's kind of cool, and this player is not some pushover. 366 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: I gave the stats there about her that she's legit, 367 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: So she didn't just beat somebody, some nobody. Now we 368 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: mentioned she's the second oldest woman to ever win a 369 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: singles match at the tour level, it almost seems mean 370 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: to congratulations, you're older now and you can still play. 371 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: But still it was cool, So who was the oldest? 372 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: Kind of makes sense to a lot of folks. Martina Navratilova, 373 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: she won at the age of forty seven. That was 374 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: the two thousand and four she won a match at Wimbledon. 375 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: And if you get a chance, it will make you 376 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: smile today. See the end of her match when she 377 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: walks up, she wins, and then she walks up congratulates 378 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: the player, she shakes the hand with the ref. She 379 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: is just beaming. 380 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: Oh, it's so cute. It actually, if you're feeling down, 381 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: you just want to feel uplifted and just see what's 382 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: possible at any age. Truly, I love this, and I 383 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: also love that there's another congratulations in order, because when 384 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: she was talking to reporters afterwards, she confirmed that she 385 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: is engaged to her boyfriend Andrea Pretti. He's Italian, just 386 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: moments after winning her first tennis match. People have been 387 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: speculating they saw a ring on her finger back in February, 388 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: so she confirmed it. Congratulations to Venus and Andrea. 389 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: So maybe that was the smile and not really. 390 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: I mean a little bit of both. She has a 391 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: lot of reasons to. 392 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: Celebrate, but it looked like pure joy, somebody who just 393 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 2: enjoys the game. I know it's intense and all the 394 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: championship she's won and how difficult it is at times, 395 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 2: but she just looked like a kid enjoying tennis. 396 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: Yester. She said that her fiance inspired her, that he 397 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: is the one who said keep doing it, keep going, 398 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: because she said she really wanted to quit, she was 399 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: over it, and he really pushed her and she thanked 400 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: him for it. It was very sweet. 401 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: Congrats Venus, and we promise us the last time we 402 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: will discuss your age before we go here folks, something 403 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 2: we'd like for you to consider it is a fantastic 404 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 2: quote of the day. 405 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't 406 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous 407 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: world out there. That is from the late great Ozzie Osbourne. 408 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: It was especially funny given, of course, what he is 409 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: infamous for. Maybe we should say for biting the heads 410 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: off of certain animals. But yes, he was tongue in 411 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: cheek when he made this statement, and it also can 412 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: be applied to all of our lives. 413 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: Take his name out of it and just read that 414 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: quote without in it applies. It absolutely applies. Tie his 415 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: name to it, and now it's still applies, but it's Larry's. 416 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't 417 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous 418 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: world out there. Thank you, Ozzy Osbourne.
