1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Hello everyone,

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: this is your Morning Run for Thursday, March thirteenth. The

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Morning Run now guaranteed available by six thirty am Eastern

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Time Monday through Friday.

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Amy Robots.

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: And I'm TJ Holmes and I just cannot stop watching

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 3: that new Magan Markel show on Netflix. Robes. I felt

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: like I was compelled to start with a confession. Everybody's

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: talk about the show.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: I would like to make some sun tea after watching

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: her brew hers in the sun in the California Sun.

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got this Martha Stewart voice to her.

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: Am I in a trance? Maybe that's what it is. Yeah,

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: in true the confession here, folks. We usually put this

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: show together with news on TV as a background on

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: news channels. Last two days, I've been watching nothing but

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: Megan Markle on Netflix.

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Because they stopped doing live news overnights for some reason.

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: A lot of changes in the industry with that, folks.

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: We are gonna say good morning to you and head

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: out on the Today. And unless lawmakers can find a

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: bipartisan solution, it looks like we may be headed for

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: a government shut down. Tomorrow night at midnight.

24
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Some not so bad news on the inflation front. The

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: rate of inflation has slowed, but experts caution don't get

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: too excited. And heavy rain is falling in fire ravaged

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: areas of LA prompting floodwatches and evacuation orders. The threat

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: of mudslides and debris flow are in place, and the

29
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: Pope marks two major milestones this week as the Vatican

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: addresses rumors of his demise.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: In addition to those stories, also on the run this morning,

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: they can't catch a break. Those stranded astronauts have to

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: stay a little longer up in space after their ride

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: home wasn't allowed to take off yesterday. Also this morning,

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: the greatest day of deregulation in US history. That's what

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: the EPA calls it. Environmentalists call it downright dangerous. And

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: it's Canada's turn on tariffs. Our neighbors to the north

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: throw a quick CounterPunch on the same day Trump's new

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: tariff goes into effects.

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: Can you keep of tariffs?

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we are tasked with doing this every day,

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: so we're reading the articles and I still am super

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: confused about who's taxing whom when, on what products.

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: Okay, just go with this. The US is taxing everybody.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: And we're all getting reciprocal taxes thrown at us from

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: various but then but then they pause them, and then

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: they retract them, and we'll try to get through all

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: of it. But we're going to begin our run today

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. The government is gonna shut down

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: tomorrow night at midnight if somebody doesn't do something and fast.

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Shut down became more of a reality yesterday after

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: Senate Democrats announced they will oppose the GOP funding bill

53
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: that passed in the House on Tuesday. That bill would

54
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: avoid a government shut down because it has the money

55
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: to keep the government funded through the end of September.

56
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: But Democrats are now saying they will not support that

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: bill and instead they're insisting on a short term funding

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: measure to keep the government open and that will give

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: them more time to negotiate a longer term deal with Republicans.

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: Sounds reasonable enough, but there are a couple of problems

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: with that. First, the Senate Republicans aren't trying to hear that,

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: and second, the House has already gone home.

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: Yes, and an intentional and strategic move to put pressure

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: on the Senate. The House adjourned after passing the funding

65
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: bill on Tuesday, members left town. They headed back to

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 3: their district. So you really think ropes all of them

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: are going to come back to DC to vote on

68
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: some new Senate bill. The chances of that are quite low.

69
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: So what do we do now, Well, the blame game

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: is on. That's what we do.

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: We point fingers at one another. Both sides are busy

72
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: trying to pin a potential government shutdown on the other side.

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: And this is a big dilemma for Democrats. Some of

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: them spoke out yesterday saying we're damned if we do,

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: We're damned if we don't. And some are saying that

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: perhaps even agreeing with Republicans, Republicans would need seven Democrats

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: to vote with the bill for it to pass, that

78
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: that might actually be better in terms of repercussions from

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: their constituents than having the government actually shut down.

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the complaint you're making about the chaos that

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: Trump has brought to the federal government and then you're

82
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: going to be a party to shutting it down. It's

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: a dilemma. But as zeb right now, folks, at this moment,

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: there is not a solution to this problem. So keep

85
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: your eyes on DC today. We certainly will up next

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: here as we continue on this Thursday morning run some

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: positive news here on the inflation front. February's Consumer Price

88
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: Index showed that inflation has finally slowed after months of

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: elevated numbers.

90
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Yes, so we're still dealing with inflation, but it's just

91
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: not as bad as it has been. That's the basic

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: headline there. The CPI rose by two point eight percent,

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: and that is the lowest rate, the lowest number since November.

94
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: Grocery prices, with the exception of eggs, were flat last month,

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: and that's a good thing because they have been climbing.

96
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: So dairy fruit and vegetable prices actually went down.

97
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had to say grocery prices with the eggs

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: reception of eggs, because egg prices are up a whopping

99
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: fifty nine percent for the year, ten percent in February alone.

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: So the experts out there are warning that these tariffs

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: and the confusion over the trade policy means that the

102
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: slight relief that we're seeing in inflation could be fleeting

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: if we end up with a trade war, which could

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: reignite higher prices again. Something else to keep an eye on.

105
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 3: But still, like you said, it's good news that inflation

106
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: has slowed.

107
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel validated that economic experts are saying

108
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: that our trade policy is confusing right now, I actually agree,

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: all right. Next up on the run, another day, another tariff.

110
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: This time it's Canada's turn. Our friendly neighbors to the

111
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: north announced a new twenty five percent tariff of US

112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: goods yesterday, and it went into effect at midnight last night.

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're not being shy about are they saying? Yeah,

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: this is in retaliation for the US tariff that went

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: into effect yesterday that puts a twenty five percent charge

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: on all steel and aluminum products coming into the US.

117
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: New Canadian tariff is on the US steel aluminum, as

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: well as the brain of other products talking tools, monitors,

119
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: sporting goods, among other things. So in total, though, Canada

120
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: says it's targeting about thirty billion dollars worth of US.

121
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: Products, sporting equipment.

122
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: That's funny, we have that big of an influx of

123
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Canadians sporting equipment.

124
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we like the treadmills. I have no idea. I'm kidding.

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: Maybe it was hockey related. I don't know, all right,

126
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: while announcing the new tariffs. Canada's finance minister also acknowledged

127
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: this is also silly, saying the US is needlessly disrupting

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: an incredibly successful trading partnership. It is a completely unwarranted

129
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: and unjustified move that will raise costs for Americans and Canadians.

130
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: Trump is insisting, you know, he's just trying to even

131
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: the playing field with tariffs and wants to start charging

132
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: other countries what they have been charging us. In that sense,

133
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: it makes sense. But wow, there has been certainly some upheaval.

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: And some whiplash. I guess the way he's going about

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: has been so extreme. Bag we'll see if results do

136
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: come or chaos continues on this run. Though. We will

137
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: continue with federal rules, the ones that say how much

138
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 3: pollution your car can emit, Well, those are getting another

139
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: look by the Trump administration, and so are dozens of

140
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: other EPA regulations.

141
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: And what the administration is calling the biggest deregulatory action

142
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: in US history. The EPA announced yesterday more than two

143
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: dozen major environmental rules and regulations are going to be

144
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: rolled back now by that agency. Lee Zelden, the EPA administrator, said,

145
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: vehicle emission standards, power plant pollution standards, wastewater pollution standards,

146
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: as well as the agency's view on climate change are

147
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: all on the table.

148
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he put it this way. We are driving a

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: dagger through the heart of climate change religion to drive

150
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: down the cost of living for American families, unleash American energy,

151
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: bring auto jobs back to the US, and more. Zelden

152
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: went on to claim it will be more affordable to

153
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: purchase a car, heat homes. Opponents, however, say, get ready

154
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: for more toxins, get ready for more asthma in kids,

155
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: more cancers, and more dangers for pregnant women and children.

156
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: They can't just flip a switch and change all these

157
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: regulations as at pretty long process, but they are starting

158
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: it officially to roll back a lot of these regulations.

159
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: My goodness.

160
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: And then of course the lawsuits are coming, as they

161
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: have with all of these major changes. Green new scam,

162
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: that's what he called.

163
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: It, anything having to do with climate change or anything

164
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: the essentially Democrats try to do to combat anything having

165
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: to do with the environment. They have come to call

166
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: it the green new scam. And that's catchy. You can

167
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: remember that it sounds bad. So again, this is another

168
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: case of Republicans are sometimes pretty good with their messaging.

169
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: Wow, all right.

170
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, we are talking evacuation warnings

171
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: and orders once again for fire weary LA residents. More

172
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: than twenty million people right now are under a flash

173
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: flood watch in southern California.

174
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Some of the areas under the most risk are

175
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: the exact same communities that are steel reeling from those

176
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: devastating fires in you warry. But this time the concern

177
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: is mud slides because those burn areas especially vulnerable to

178
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: heavy rain. And that's exactly what the core cast is

179
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: calling for today.

180
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, the area is impacted by the palisades and the

181
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: eaten fires are all included in these warning areas. Some

182
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: may see two to three inches of rainfall in a

183
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: short period of time. They're saying there could be getting

184
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: like a half an inch an hour, and maybe even

185
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: as much as three quarters of an inch an hour.

186
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: That might not sound like much, but that's what it

187
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: takes for mud slides to ensue. So they have warned

188
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: all the residents, and my goodness, this is the last

189
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: thing these folks need to hear.

190
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: All Right, We'll stay with us folks here on this

191
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: Thursday Morning Run when we come back, why are folks

192
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: trying to break into the hospital where the Pope is

193
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: being treated? Also, they've been stuck up oh in space

194
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 3: for nine months and they just found out that stay

195
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: is going to get a little bit longer. And what

196
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: are you doing tonight? At around what two in the morning?

197
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: Take a look outside and you will see a what robes?

198
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: A lunar blood blood.

199
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: A worm in there like a blood worm moon something.

200
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna all figure out together when it Run

201
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: continues to state with all right, folks, we continue on

202
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: our Thursday Morning ron and the next leg will take

203
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: us to Rome, where Pope Francis is marking two major

204
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 3: milestones this week. Today is actually the twelfth anniversary as

205
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: pope tomorrow though a different type of anniversary if you will,

206
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: it'll mark a full month that he's been in the hospital.

207
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is no announced public commemoration to mark the

208
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Pope's twelfth anniversary, but we did receive an update on

209
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: his health. The Vatican said the Pope remains in stable

210
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: condition and a chest X ray has confirmed that the

211
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Pope is continuing to improve from that double pneumonia that

212
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: he has been experiencing it was a complication from bronchitis. Remember,

213
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: bronchitis is the original reason why he got into the

214
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: or was admitted into the hospital.

215
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: You no, they did go on to reiterate that while

216
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: he is out of immediate danger situation, his situation remains complex.

217
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: You're still receiving high flow oxygen through nasal tubes during

218
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: the day and a mechanical breathing mask at night.

219
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: Now, some people have noted that the Vatican has not

220
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: released any photos. There have been no videos of Pope

221
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Francis since he was admitted to the hospital. We did

222
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: get that recorded audio message from him last week where

223
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: he was thanking people for their prayers, but all of

224
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: that well, apparently the video excuse me, the audio was

225
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: said to have quieted rumors of his demise. The Vatican's

226
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: very aware that people are questioning why they haven't seen

227
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: Pope Francis.

228
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't think about this until you said

229
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: it this morning. But yes, we have not laid eyes

230
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: on the Pope in a month. That is something. Now.

231
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 3: Over the past few days, though, at least two Italian

232
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: TikTokers cameras in tow stormed into the Rome hospital where

233
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: the Pope is being treated, and in both of those cases,

234
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: they noted that there was a lack of security and

235
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: suggested it was because the Pope had already passed away.

236
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Though they both were in the wrong

237
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: wing to the hospital, the Pope was nowhere near them.

238
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: That's why there was no security. The Vatican addressed the

239
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: suggestion of a massive cover up, saying, this fake news

240
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. We deliver our news with regularity and transparency.

241
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: And they added this, We said that with the audio,

242
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: the Pope wanted to thank the faithful for their prayers

243
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: in these weeks. If one of the goals of that

244
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: audio was also to dismiss the fake news about his health,

245
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: well everyone is free to draw their own conclusions. And

246
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: when pressed about why we haven't seen him, the Vatican said, hey,

247
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: the Pope doesn't want to be seen, and we're going

248
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: to honor what he wishes. If he wanted there to

249
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: be a video, we would have put out a video.

250
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: He wanted audio, so we put out the audio. And

251
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: so that was their reaction to these rumors that have

252
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: You know, there are always going to be rumors about

253
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the Vatican's lack of transparency and what's really going on

254
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: inside the.

255
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: Hospital there in Rome.

256
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: And you know, the TikTokers did what they could to

257
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: get as many more viewers as they could, but turns

258
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: out they were in.

259
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 3: The row wing. Were they even in the right hospital.

260
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: We will continue here on the run this morning. The

261
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: next leg. Now we'll take us to space, where a

262
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 3: couple of astronauts have been for quite a while longer

263
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: than they expected, been stuck up there for an extra

264
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: nine months, So what's a few more days. The mission

265
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: that was supposed to launch yesterday, we talked about it here.

266
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: It was going to bring back those two stranded astronauts

267
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: from the International Space Station. But that mission didn't launch yesterday.

268
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: It was scrapped because of an issue on the launch pad.

269
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, the crew was strapped into the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft

270
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: last night.

271
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: They're ready to go.

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: The countdown was stopped because of a hydraulic issue on

273
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: the launch pad. The mission was to drop off four

274
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: astronauts to the International Space Station, but to pick up

275
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams, the two that were left

276
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: on a test mission last June. They were only supposed

277
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: to be in station in space for about a week,

278
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: but engineers had concerns about the safety of the Boeing

279
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Starliner spacecraft which carried them to space.

280
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: So they were nervous about allowing them to fly back

281
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: to Earth on that same craft, so they actually brought

282
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: the craft back with no people onboard. It ended up

283
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: making it safely, but oh well, that meant that the

284
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: astronauts were stuck up there and couldn't get a ride

285
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: home until the next scheduled space mission, which happened to

286
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: be nine months later, which happened to be yesterday, which

287
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: happened to be scrapped. So what do we do now?

288
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: They say they can't take off until at least Friday,

289
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: if then, but no word if this issue has been

290
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: worked out on the launch pan look better safe. You

291
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: gotta beat this space travel, folks, And as regular as

292
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: it seems these days, as often as we see it,

293
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: this is some scary, dangerous, very technical stuff. So yeah,

294
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: take your time.

295
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: One of the astronauts said.

296
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: It's they said, NASA has done such a good job

297
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: of making it seem easy, but this is perhaps a

298
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: way or a window into the fact that it is not.

299
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: You know that this is very serious and very technical

300
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: and one small thing can lead to a major catastrophe.

301
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: So I'm sure they're like, yes, take your time, let's.

302
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: Get it right. I'm gonna go look up the audio.

303
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: I would love to hear their reactions to hearing that

304
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: that mission was scrapped. It might be a couple days difference,

305
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: but they probably laughed. I mean, are you kidding me?

306
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is gonna make some headlines. I'm

307
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: sure that's what they were thinking.

308
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: All right.

309
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: For the final leg of our run, if you are

310
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: willing to lose a little bit of sleep tonight, scientists

311
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: say you might be able to and probably will be

312
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: able to behold a blood moon total lunar eclipse overnight

313
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: and you won't even need any equipment.

314
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so they say this starts around one am Eastern Time,

315
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: but there will be a partial eclipse, then it will

316
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: be completely blocked. A full eclipse happens around two twenty

317
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: five am Eastern time, and it'll go for about an hour,

318
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: so you're still gonna be able to see the last

319
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: remnants of the eclipse around six AM Eastern So if

320
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: you don't want to get up in the middle of

321
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: the night, you can see a little bit of the show.

322
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they said it.

323
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: You might be able to see starting starting to have

324
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: a partial eclipse around eleven PM. But really, like so

325
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: there's kind of a from eleven PM to six am,

326
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: right when everybody would mostly be sleeping, that's when this

327
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: all's going to take place. And it's a blood moon.

328
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: This is the best way I heard it described. The

329
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Sun's light gets bent as it's trying to go around

330
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: the Earth, so it passes through the Earth onto the moon.

331
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: One scientist put it this way.

332
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Think of all the red light from sunrises and sunsets

333
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: becoming visible at the same time on the moon.

334
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

335
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that cleared it right up. I have no idea

336
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: what the hell I'm going to be looking at in

337
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: the sky. I'm going to look it sounds cool, but yeah, right,

338
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: red sunset, sun so every sunrise and sunset I've ever

339
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: seen is going to be in the sky tonight.

340
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: That's what a scientist. It kind of makes you want

341
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: to stay up all night, doesn't it. So by the way,

342
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: we were talking about the name the blood moon, but

343
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: it was like the blood worm moon. So this month's

344
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: full moon actually has the name worm moon. It's a

345
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: nickname that comes from earthworms that are found as spring nears.

346
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: This is according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

347
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: They named moon. So the spring moon is called the

348
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: worm moon.

349
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: And because it's going to be a blood moon now

350
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: it's a blood worm moon.

351
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: Full eclipse tonight.

352
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 3: Can we go back to talking about tariffs? That was

353
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: easier to understand. What okay? Anyway, folks, golassie look up.

354
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: Middle of the night should be cool. But as you

355
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: go about your day to day on this Thursday, something

356
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 3: we'd like for you to consider it is our quote

357
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: of the day.

358
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm loving some of these sports themed quotes,

359
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: so I went with another one today. It's not the

360
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: will to win that matters. Everyone has that. It's the

361
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: will to prepare to win that matters.

362
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: Coaches have the best quotes, and this comes from legendary

363
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: coach Bear Bryant. I cannot believe you put in an

364
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: Alabama coach's quote into the show.

365
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: You know, every now and then, girl, this dog can respect,

366
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: can respect what's done there in the state of Alabama.

367
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: It's true, they've done some great things and Bear Bryant

368
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: was among one of their greats. And I just love

369
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: this quote. It's so true. Everybody has the will to win,

370
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: but they're not ready to do what it takes to win.

371
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Coaches have great great quotes. Another one that reminds me

372
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: this is you practice how you play right everybody. This

373
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: is a great, great one from the coaches are great motivators.

374
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: They are.

375
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 3: And this simple little note. I'm sure you said it

376
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: to a team where it's meant for a team, but

377
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: it applies to everybody in every facet of life almost

378
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: So thank you.

379
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about one more time if.

380
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: Here? Yes, the quote is it's not the will to

381
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 3: win that matters. Everyone has that, it's the will to

382
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 3: prepare to win that matters. Say with that, folks, we

383
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 3: appreciate you going on a little run with us on

384
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,840

385
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: the run tomorrow Friday, a Friday run.

386

Speaker 2: For now, I'm TJ and I'm Amy Roeboch. Have a

387
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,280
