It 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: costs you nothing, but can mean the world to someone else. 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: Those words from Judge Frank Caprio, who is the king 7 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: of kindness that we just lost. I wanted to start 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: with a quote from him. We'll be talking about him more. 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: If you don't know who. Frank Caprio is a judge 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: who has really been dubbed the nicest judge in the 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: world because so many of his antics in the courtroom 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: and being kind to people, they played out viraly for 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: people to see. And he has millions of followers, billions 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: of views, and he passed away the age of eighty eight. 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: We'll talk about him more.

Powerball nobody won last night. You 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: will tell you what that sucker gets up to for 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: this weekend. For the next drawing. And also here in 22 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: New York, someone working for Mayor Adams campaign, or at 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: least an advisor to Mayor Adams. In New York Mayor 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: handed a reporter a bag of potato chips yesterday with 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: cash in it. But you have got to hear the 26 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 1: reason that they say this was all just a misunderstanding. 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: We'll explain. Also, reminder for you do it now. On 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: your Apple podcast app top right corner a little tab 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: that says follow. Just click on that you can get 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: our updates anytime you like. Many of you may have 31 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: noticed by now you have not heard Amy Robot's voice 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: yet on this morning run, and you're not going to. 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: It was only amount of time. I suppose many speculated, 34 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: but she left me. I just paused there as a tabloid. 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,639 Speaker 1: Reporters can go crazy for a second. No, she bounced 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: for a couple of days. She's we had a kid. 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: We had to get to college. I had to get 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: out to Boulder, Colorado. So given that the kid we 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: had to get into college, only one of us could go. 40 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: And given that it's her kid and not mine, we 41 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: figured she was a better choice. So, my dear Emmi 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: Roback is out in Boulder, Colorado, now dropping off our 43 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: dear Annalise for her junior no excuse me, her sophomore 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: year of college. But Robock will be back with us soon. 45 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: Also on the run this morning. The Ten Commandments are 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: not going up in Texas classrooms this school year. The 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: DOJ gets another shot at releasing Epstein files, Target gets 48 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: a new CEO. The Benindez brothers finally get a parole 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: hearing today. Texas Democrats get a reality check and they 50 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: only delayed the inevitable. And the WNBA is really having 51 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: a moment right now. But another cool moment, historic moment, 52 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: record breaking moment for them last night as they saw 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: a rookie score more points than any rookie ever has 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: in a w NBA game. We'll get in to that, 55 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: but let's start though with Hurricane Aaron. It's on everybody's 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: mind right now. It is still a Category two hurricane 57 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: and it is not a threat to make landfall in 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the US, but still damn Erin is causing all kinds 59 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: of problems. It's triggered mandatory evacuations in parts of the Carolinas. 60 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: There are beach closures up and down the East coast, 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: North Carolina and Virginia in particular are under tropical storm alerts, 62 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: but folks lit to relief from Florida all the way 63 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: up to New England are being warned that Erin, which 64 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: is a massive storm that's turning about two hundred miles 65 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: off the east coast of the US, is creating dangerous 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: surf and rip current conditions. There have been dozens of 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: rip current rescues in recent days. Those dangers are expected 68 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: to remain for the next several days as the storm continues. 69 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: It stays away from the US coast, but it's a 70 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: massive storm and it's making its way up, so it's 71 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: going to cause as problems for the next few days. 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: Let's continue on the run now, and it is finally here. 73 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: The Menindez brothers are getting their long awaited parole hearing 74 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: in a California court again today. It's happening first up 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: though it's going to be Eric Menndez. They're doing these separately, 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: so he gets his first today, we followed by his 77 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: brother tomorrow. Now, his parole hearing starts at eight thirty 78 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: local time. Lyles will be tomorrow at the same time. 79 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: The brothers, as you know, killed their parents in nineteen 80 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: eighty nine were originally sentenced to life in prison without 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: the possibility of parole, but they were re sentenced in 82 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: May of this year to fifty years to life, and 83 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: by changing their sentence that made them eligible for parole, 84 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: and that is what's going to be discussed today. Their 85 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: family has been pushing for their release. Yes, the same 86 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: family that these two killed family members, and those family, 87 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: all of them, have come together now and pushing for 88 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: the release of these two I say boys, they were 89 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: grown men now. But the family issued a statement yesterday 90 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: saying that the brothers have expressed sincere remorse to our 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: family to this day and have built a meaningful life 92 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: defined by purpose and service. However, the District Attorney sees 93 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: it differently and as against their release, and claims the 94 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 1: brothers have not demonstrated full insight into their crimes or 95 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: shown that they have been fully rehabilitated, and therefore continue 96 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: to pose a risk to society. That's how the DA 97 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: puts it on. Lyle and Eric were twenty one and 98 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: eighteen at the time of the murders. They are now 99 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: fifty seven and fifty four, So when could this possibly 100 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: happen again? The parole hearing today, another one tomorrow. So 101 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: the parole board is going to make a recommendation. Don't 102 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: exactly nor when it could come immediately, but then their 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: Chief Council has up to one hundred and twenty days 104 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: to review their recommendation before it then goes to California 105 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: Governor Gavin Newsom, who will have another thirty days to 106 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: sign off on it. So we are talking about this process. 107 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: Could be another five months. They could tell the Menindaz 108 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: brothers tomorrow you both, we believe should be paroled, but 109 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: it could still be several months after that before we 110 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: ever see them walk out of prison. Also, just so 111 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: happened to be yesterday was the thirty six annaverse of 112 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: that crime. Yes, it was August twentieth of nineteen eighty 113 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: nine when they killed their parents. We continue on the 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: run now. The Trumpet administration took another l in court 115 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: yesterday and now is zero for three in its attempts 116 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: to get Epstein grand jury testimony released to the public. 117 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: The trump dj this time made a motion for the 118 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: court to release transcripts related to the New York sex 119 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: trafficking case of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 120 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: The judge yesterday denied their request and suggested in his ruling, 121 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: like a previous judge had also suggested that the government's 122 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: attempts are a quote diversion aimed at the quote illusion 123 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: of transparency. Judge also said that the government is already 124 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: in possession of much more information than anything contained in 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: the grand jury transcripts. The DOJ's previous attempts to request 126 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: grand jury testimony from two other courts were also denied. 127 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: Let's continue on the run now and next leg brings 128 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: us back kit to New York City, and it's kind 129 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: of the last thing that scandal ridden New York Mayor 130 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Eric Adams needs right now, a headline that one of 131 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: his longtime advisers tried to give a reporter a potato 132 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: chip bag full of cash, sour cream, and onion. To 133 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: be precise, this is for real, This actually happened yesterday. Now. 134 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: The woman in question is Winnie Greco. She has been 135 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: a fundraiser and volunteer for Adams over the years, and 136 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: even served as his director of Asian Affairs. Now Greco 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: is accused of and even admits to, giving the bag 138 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: of cash to a reporter at an Adams campaign event 139 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: in Harlem yesterday. The reporter works for a local outlet 140 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: called The City and says she immediately tried to give 141 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: it back to No Avail and then reported it to 142 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: the campaign. Now this sounds like when you hear this, 143 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: this doesn't make any sense. It's a bag empty of 144 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: the chips, but is filled with cash, sour creamin onion. Again, 145 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: but hand it to a reporter. Surely that's a bribe. 146 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: But Greco and her lawyer say, you got it all wrong. 147 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: So how is it possible and why under what circumstance 148 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: could you justify this happening. Well, Greco, who is Chinese, 149 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: says the reporter misunderstood her kind gesture, which she said 150 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: is culturally common. Her attorney's words and I quote, I 151 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: can see how this looks strange, but I assure you 152 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: that Winnie's intent was purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, 153 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: money has often given to others in a gesture of 154 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: friendship and gratitude. Winnie is apologetic and embarrassed by any 155 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: negative impression or confusion. This may have cost fine folks, 156 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: you want to buy that? Sure? Where is the part 157 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: in Chinese culture about the money? Being put in a 158 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: bag of sour cream and onion chips. That's the part 159 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: I missed. Perhaps the Atoms campaign made clear that gregel 160 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: holds no official position anymore with the campaign the new outlet, 161 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: the News out I'd rather put out a statement as well, 162 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: saying that the incident quote speaks to a rampant and 163 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: blatant disregard for the role of a free and fair press. 164 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: But then they added this little gem at the end, 165 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: and I quote the choice of sour cream and onion 166 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: chips is also questionable. You see why I was focusing 167 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: on the sour creeman onion well. Mayor Adams, who was 168 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: in the midst of a re election campaign in which 169 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: he is nowhere near the top of the candidates, was 170 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: facing corruption charges last year until the DOJ dropped that case. 171 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: He's also had several members of his administration who have 172 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: been the target of corruption investigations. Next leg of our 173 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: run now texs us back to Texas and No, Texas, 174 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: you cannot legally require every public classroom to display the 175 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: Ten Commandments, he has. A judge yesterday ruled against the 176 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: state law that said schools would be required to have 177 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: a copy of the Ten Commandments on the wall in 178 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: every single classroom. The law even when as far as 179 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: giving specific required sizes of the posters. The law, which 180 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: was signed by Governor Abbott in June, was set to 181 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: go into effect this school year, but several families sued, 182 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: and its ruling, the court said the law said that 183 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: the law is impermissible and that it takes sides on 184 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: theological questions and officially favors Christian denominations over others. The 185 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: state ag already said he's going to appeal this decision. Meanwhile, 186 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Arkansas and Louisiana they passed laws requiring the Ten Commandments 187 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: in classrooms as well. You know what happened. They were 188 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: both struck down last year. A lot of people now 189 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: believe this case ultimately is going to have to head 190 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court for them to decide what can 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: be done in classrooms. We'll stay in Texas with his 192 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: next leg and after all that runaway Democrat drama in 193 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Texas yesterday, the state legislature passed that redistricting bill. Anyway, 194 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: that new map would create potentially another five seats in 195 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: Congress for Republicans. So Democrats in an attempt to stop 196 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: the bill from passing. You'll remember they fled the state. 197 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: They were gone for weeks, denied Republicans a chance to 198 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: move the bill forward, but ultimately they had the ability 199 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: to delay. The state Senate is expected to pass that 200 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: bill as early as today. And as you know, California 201 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: is already working on a plan to redraw its own 202 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: congressional map to counter Texas. But get this, folks, there 203 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: are a number of states out there considering redrawing their 204 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: maps now. So this is set off a what a 205 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: redistricting race? I suppose we continue on the run now 206 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: with Target hoping to get back to its Tarjay hey day. 207 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: You remember that, well, not just a thing in the South, 208 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: but Tarja. So many people I was around in the 209 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: South would call it Tarja because it's kind of an 210 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: elevated experience. Yes, it's budget, but it had nice things. 211 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: So Tarja was what it used to be called. They're 212 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: trying to get back to that heyday. Step one, CEO 213 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: step down. The company announced that Brian Cornell is giving 214 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: up the reins after what has been a pretty disastrous 215 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: stretched for the company. Nine out of the past eleven 216 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: quarters they have had flat or declining sales. That includes 217 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: this most recent quarter. Cornell had been at the Helm 218 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: the last eleven years. He officially leaves the job early 219 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: next year. Another longtime Target exec is going to take over. Now. 220 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: Some of Target's recent struggles are attributed to boycotts that 221 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: targeted the company after it got in line with the 222 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: anti DEI sentiment that was coming out of the White House. Well, 223 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: stay with us here on this. What is this Thursday, 224 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Thursday Friday Eve run? I guess I should say the 225 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: WNBA saw a rookie do something yesterday that no rookie 226 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: has ever done before. Also coming up no winner in 227 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: the powerball jackpot last night, tell you how much money 228 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: you could possibly win on Saturday now with the next 229 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: drawing and the nicest judge in the world, we just 230 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: lost him at the age of eighty eight, but my god, 231 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: he left a legacy. All right, folks, Let's continue on 232 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: this Friday Eve run. Now with a record that was 233 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: set in the w NBA last night Dallas Wing Star page. 234 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: Beckers scored forty four points. That is now the most 235 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: points ever scored by a rookie. And what a rookie 236 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: to score it. Paige Beckers, you remember her from Yukon. 237 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: She was a superstar there her nickname she got during 238 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: college page buckets. But yeah, she has now beat the 239 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: record set by basketball great Candice Parker, who scored forty 240 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: in a game during her rookie year back in two 241 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. Also, folks, let you know next leg 242 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: of the run. I can tell you got another shot 243 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: at the powerball jackpot. It's happening on Saturday the next drawing. 244 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: Nobody won last night's jackpot. It was estimated at six 245 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars, So there will be another 246 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: drawing on Saturday for an estimated seven hundred million dollars. 247 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: So these things start to get up to these bigger numbers, 248 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: you naturally started thinking, well, is this going to be 249 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: a record setting jackpot? To get this, we are nowhere 250 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: near biggest jackpot of all time territory, not even close. 251 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: All of the previous top ten jackpots the largest ever 252 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: are in the billion. Seven hundred million isn't even high 253 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: enough to make it to the top ten of largest jackpots. 254 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: So the biggest one of all time. Remember twenty twenty two, 255 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: one ticket, one ticket was sold in California. That jackpot 256 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: was two point zero four billion dollars and the last 257 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: leg of the run here. This is the one that 258 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: actually my dear Robot sent me a text this morning 259 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: from Boulder asked me how I was doing, and I 260 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: was honest with her at the time, and I had 261 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: tears running down my face reading and researching this next 262 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: story because fans of kindness are mourning today. They're morning 263 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: the passing of New England judge who gained millions of 264 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: followers and a billion views online, Judge Frank Caprio. He 265 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: has died at the age of eighty eight. Gaprio was 266 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: dubbed the nicest judge in the world. He starred in 267 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: the show Caught Improvidence, in which he often compassionately and 268 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: hilariously presided over cases now calling in Providence. It started 269 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: as a local show. I think it ran yeah on 270 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: the local channels there, but then it got picked up 271 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: in syndication for a couple of years and the judge 272 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: was actually nominated for a couple of Emmys for the show. 273 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: But this was a show that wasn't just putting on 274 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: in fake cases. It was just a camera that they 275 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: put in the Providence courtroom to capture this guy. He 276 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: was the show in how he dealt with so many 277 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: people that came through his courtroom. An example, one young 278 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: lady came in she had a traffic ticket. He dismissed 279 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: it because he liked her smile. She was smiling and 280 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: she seemed kind. He said, one thing you can't fake 281 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: is a smile and let her go. Another situation where 282 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: a woman I think he had a traffic ticket, what 283 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: should her punishment be? He actually asked her kids that 284 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: were there, what should it be? And sometimes he would 285 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: invite kids up to the bench to be a part 286 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: of He just had a different way of handling his courtroom. 287 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: And his different way wasn't just about dropping the hammer. 288 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: It was about being compassionate, seeing people, even in some 289 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: of their worst moments, just still also giving them the 290 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: grace and some dignity for the mistakes they had made. 291 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: He was just wonderful. His family put out a statement 292 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: saying quote beloved for his compassion, humility and unwavering belief 293 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: in the goodness of people. Judgecaprio touched the lives of 294 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: millions through his work in the courtroom, and beyond his warmth, 295 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: his humor, his kindness left an indelible mark on all 296 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: who knew him. I would argue a mark on those 297 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: who didn't know him as well. Judgecaprio was diagnosed with 298 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: cancer in twenty twenty three, got through that. But he's 299 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: died now at the age of eighty eight. Survived by 300 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: five kids, seven grandkids, and two great grandkids. And very 301 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: cool to see this. He survived by his wife of 302 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: sixty years. If there's anything you're going to do today, 303 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: just to take two minutes, please look up some of 304 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: his videos. Frank Caprio. Just look at some of his videos, 305 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: and we don't have enough people. It makes you feel 306 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: bitter about people with all the nastiness we see sometimes, 307 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: but it's a reminder that there are a bunch of people, 308 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: I think probably most out there life him. He just 309 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: had a platform in which he could push his message 310 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: out and he took advantage of it. But there are 311 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: a lot of good people out there like this, and 312 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: he is a gem. But he left so much behind. 313 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 1: So as I let you go here, something we always 314 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: like for you to consider it is our quote of 315 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: the day, And yeah, I picked one from Judge Frank Capril. 316 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: He said, and I quote, the best legacy we can 317 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: leave behind is how we made others feel Choose kindness always, 318 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: Judge Frank Capriole, that's just one.
