1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, February fourth. I'm Amy Robots and.

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm TJ Holmes. We're going to get right to a

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: lot of news happening this morning with the Run is

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: going to take us to Delaware, to DC, to Florida,

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: to San Francisco to Milan, but we do have to

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: begin in Tucson, Arizona, where there have been significant and

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: somewhat bizarre updates in the case of Savannah Guthrie's missing

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: eighty four year old mother, Nancy. We're now learning robes.

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: We heard yesterday about one ransom note sent to TMZ.

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: Now we're hearing about a second note.

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: That's right, the first was actually sent to a local

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: CBS affiliate in Tucson ko LDTV. That note was sent

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: on Monday. The station immediately handed that note over to

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: police and agreed not to report on it. That's why

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: we're just now hearing about it. But according to the

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: Sheriff's Department, that first ransom note contained d details about

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: the Guthrie home, what Nancy Guthrie was wearing the night

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: of her abduction, and they did share that note with

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: the Guthrie family.

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: As the sheriff said, they cannot confirm the accuracy of

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: the information or legitimacy of the note. They didn't let

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: us know if some of the details in there matched

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: up with what was going on in the home, so

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: we don't know what they're legit. But still they were

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: hoping to keep the note from becoming public. TMZ had

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: other plans. They received what appears to be the same

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: note the following day, on Tuesday. They chose to share

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: the news about it with the audience after they saw

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: the press conference from the sheriff, but before letting the

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: sheriff know. According to the sheriff, yes, TMZ went public

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: with this note before even letting authorities no. TMZ did

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: not provide all the details of the note, but shared

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: plenty that they wanted millions, that whoever wrote it said

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: they wanted it in cryptocurrency, and said they needed by

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: a certain deadline quote or else.

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Now, the only other new detail comes from that same

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: CBS affiliate who shot some video and you'll probably see

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: it everywhere on the news today of what appears to

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: be some droplets of blood on the doorstep of Nancy

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Guthrie's home. Now, police won't confirm the existence of blood

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: outside or inside Guthrie's home, but in yesterday's press conference

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: they did say that they collected DNA from the scene

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: and so far the testing of that DNA has not

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: pointed to any one suspect. We also got word NBC

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: announcing this is not unexpected that given the situation, Savannah

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: will not be headed as planned to the Winter Olympics

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: in Milan. She was going to be hosting the opening

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: ceremonies on Friday. And a reminder everyone, I'm sure you

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: know this by now, but Nancy Guthrie was reported missing

52
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: at eleven am on Sunday. She was last seen Saturday

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: night around nine to forty five pm. Police confirmed she

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: was taken against her will and that the evidence left

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: behind was gravely concerning. She left behind her cell phone,

56
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: her wallet, and medication she needs daily, her family saying

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: if she doesn't have access to that medication within twenty

58
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: four hours, it could be fatal.

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: No, we don't have any planned at this point, folks.

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: They don't have any planned press conferences today, actually not

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: until tomorrow. But if anything happens, just like it has

62
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: been happening. We will hop on as always top right

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: corner of your Apple podcast at where it says follow

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: Click that and you can get subscribed to make sure

65
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: all of our updates come to you, and there have

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: been plenty as of late. We want to continue on

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: the run. Here. Another headline yesterday, and a bizarre one

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: because of its connection to the former First Lady Jill

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Biden's doctor Jill Biden's ex husband has been arrested charged

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: with murdering his second wife, sixty four year old Linda

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Stevens In. A grand jury indicted seventy seven year old

72
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: William stevens In with first degree murder after police say

73
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: they found his wife unresponsive in their Wilmington, Delaware living

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: room while respet bonding to a domestic dispute. This was

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: back on December twenty eighth.

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Yes so, police have not released any details surrounding Stevenson's death.

77
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: They only said that the indictment came as a result

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: of an extensive, weeks long investigation. Now, doctor Joe Biden

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: married William Stevenson a long, long, long time ago in

80
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: February of nineteen seventy, when she was just eighteen years

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: old five years later. They were divorced by nineteen seventy five,

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: which just so happens to be the same year that

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Jill met her current husband, former President Joe Biden.

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: All Right, continuing on the run. Here now, it's sentencing

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: day for sixty year old Ryan Routh, the man convicted

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: of trying to assassinate Donald Trump. It is Florida golf

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: course back in September of twenty twenty four. A federal

88
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: judge will decide whether Routh should receive a life sentence

89
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: for his crime. Since September, a jury quickly found him

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: guilty on all five felon accounts, including attempted assassination of

91
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: a major presidential candidate and assaulting a federal officer.

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: So here's what prosecutors have are in their court filing.

93
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 2: They say Ralph's crimes undeniably warrant a life sentence. He

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: took steps over the course of months to assassinate a

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: major presidential candidate, demonstrated the will to kill anybody in

96
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: the way, and has since expressed neither regret nor remorse

97
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: to his victims. Ralph's new defense attorney is asking for

98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: twenty years on top of a seven year mandatory sentence

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: for that one gun conviction. But he's sixty, so that

100
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: would pretty much be a life sentence.

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, life sentence. All this for hiding in the bushes

102
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: of Trump's West Palm Beach golf course with a military

103
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: grade rifle, pointed the gun towards Trump, a Secret Service

104
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: agent who then opened fire, causing Ralph to drop his

105
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: weapon and run. He actually never got a shot off.

106
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: He made an argument he was actually not there to

107
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: do harm. But that's a tough argument to make when

108
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: you have a loaded rifle pointing towards the president.

109
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: That is a very tough argument, indeed, and not one

110
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: that the jury was willing to stomach. All right, Next

111
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,559
Speaker 2: up on the run, The government has reopened, in case

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: you were wondering, just before five Eastern time on Tuesday,

113
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: President Trump signed that new funding legislation in the Oval Office,

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: officially ending the partial government shutdown. Trump was surrounded by

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: Republican members of Congress, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, who

116
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: was holding is it a new red hat? I haven't

117
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: seen this one before. It says America is back.

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: They all look the same to me, Yes, but we

119
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: open and closed. They're starting to keep bankers hours our government. Yeah,

120
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: we're won't close. They will open back up, and we

121
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: don't get paid when you close. Right, it's a bizarre

122
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: thing they're doing. We're having a ceremony. We're open again.

123
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: We're open again. We're open again.

124
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: You make a good point, like that's not anything we

125
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: should probably be celebrating. It should always be open, the

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: government should be it should never shut down.

127
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Both Republicans and Democrats have to discuss

128
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: now funding the Department of Homeland Security, which has only

129
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: been funded for the next two weeks, in order for

130
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: both sides to negotiate tighter restrictions on immigration officials. Senate

131
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will have their very serious,

132
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: detailed proposal on those reforms and restrictions quote, very shortly.

133
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: Can't wait for that all right. In the meantime, though,

134
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: Next up on the Run, Melinda Gates is speaking out

135
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: about the latest Epstein Files release that included some damning

136
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 2: email drafts about her ex husband Bill. You may remember,

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: Melinda divorced Bill Gates back in twenty twenty one after

138
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: twenty seven years of marriage. She cited an affair he

139
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: admitted to and some ties, Yeah, some major ties to

140
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein as a part of the reason behind their split.

141
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: So Melinda sat down with NPR's wild Card podcast that's

142
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: set to be released in its entirety tomorrow Thursday, but

143
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: NPR released a preview where we hear Melinda directly reacting

144
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: to this latest controversy surrounding her act.

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: Did you see, dearies? What was the she was booked originally?

146
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: What was the main topic.

147
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: I actually don't know what the main topic was, but obviously,

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: given the recent headlines about Bill Gates, the I thought

149
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: that the way the podcast host asked the question was fair.

150
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: She kind of just gave her an opportunity. Hey, this

151
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: is in the headlines. Do you want to say something?

152
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: And I think that is even more important because she

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: was given an opportunity to back out respectfully, kindly. But

154
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: she took this opportunity. She said plenty, including that she

155
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: was happy to be away from what she called all

156
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: the muck that was there. She also, I thought this

157
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: was nice. She talked about the sadness she had, but

158
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: she said, look, I have healed, I've moved on, and

159
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: some of these women who were then girls are started

160
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: being victimized, so she to be honest in all this

161
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: Epstein back and forth, you rarely hear someone as sad

162
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: as that sounds expressed like a genuine concern for the

163
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: victims and what they're going through. I thought that was nice,

164
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: But here was the one that's getting a lot of headlines.

165
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: Whatever the questions remain and there that are out there,

166
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: I can't even begin to know all of that. Those

167
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: questions are for those people and for even my ex husband.

168
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: They need to answer those things, not me. Wow. The

169
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: latest document drop revealed a set of draft emails by

170
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, one of them labeled to Bill that referenced

171
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: possibly Bill contracting an STD from quote Russian girls and

172
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: asking for antibiotics to surreptitiously give to his wife. Yeah.

173
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a jaw dropper. Bill Gates, by the way, himself,

174
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: was asked specifically about these emails. We know we got

175
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: like a statement from his organization, but he actually directly

176
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: talked in a recent interview in Australia where he said this.

177
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Apparently Jeffrey wrote an email to himself that email was

178
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: never sent. The email is, you know, false, So I

179
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: don't know what his thinking was there. It just reminds me,

180
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: you know, every minute I spent with him, I regret

181
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: and I you know, apologized that I did that. He said,

182
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: it's factually true that I was only at dinners. You know,

183
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: I never went to the island. I never met any women.

184
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: And so, you know, the more that comes out, the

185
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: more clear it'll be that although the time was a mistake,

186
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: it had nothing to to do with that kind of behavior.

187
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: The more that comes out, I don't think there's anything

188
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: more coming out. That was a bizarre response.

189
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: He should have rehearsed that.

190
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: There was a lot of you knows.

191
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: With a guy that brilliant, you had, you know, words

192
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: to fill in.

193
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: He was stumbling around.

194
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: He fumbling around a little bit. But that was a

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: damning that a guy wrote it to himself, essentially at.

196
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: The time it happened without any thought that this would

197
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: then be read in later years.

198
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: It was only for himself at the time. Jeffrey Epstein

199
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: wrote it to Jeffrey Epstein.

200
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: It's tough. It's tough to refuse.

201
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: That's a tough all right, Stay with us here on

202
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: this Wednesday morning run. When we come back, Lindsay Vaughn,

203
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: we love you. And we want to see you, but

204
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: we are worried about what she is now trying to

205
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: pull off at the Olympics. Also competition at the Super Bowl,

206
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: not just between the Patriots and the Seahawks, it's against

207
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: the Spanish speakers and the right. Stay here, we continue

208
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: here on this Wednesday Morning Ron with Lindsey Vaughn. She

209
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: says she is going to compete at the Winter Olympics

210
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: in Milan. We knew that. We were excited to see her.

211
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: The problem now is Robes. She's saying she's still confident

212
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: about this, despite the fact that she completely ruptured her

213
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: acl on a crash at the World Cup downhill in

214
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Switzerland just on Friday. She's forty one years old. She's

215
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: back on the slope. She took a couple days off,

216
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: but she did some physical therapy and was back out

217
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: there yesterday. She says, the knees not swollen. She's gonna

218
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: wear a brace and she's going to compete on Sunday.

219
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: That is so nerve wracking. Look, you pointed this out.

220
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: This is her last shot, almost certainly of being an Olympian.

221
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: She wasn't going to take this one. Yes, she's super debating.

222
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 2: She's forty one years old. I didn't realize she actually

223
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: skipped the Sochi Olympics because of an injury, so I

224
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: can see her mindset. Look, I missed one. This is

225
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: my last shot. I'm gonna take it. But that is

226
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: really nerve wracking. Her quote was, as long as there's

227
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: a chance, I will try, I will do everything in

228
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: my power to be in the starting gate. All right.

229
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: So not only is her first Olympic event on Sunday,

230
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: she also says that she is going to compete in

231
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: the Super G and the new Team combined event, so

232
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: she's got three events. Her first training session in Milan

233
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: is scheduled for tomorrow on Thursday, so perhaps after that

234
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: she will have a better idea of where she stands

235
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: to compete on Sunday. So at least, well, I'm sure

236
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: we will know more and she will know.

237
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: She's testing it out. But that is so scary. You're

238
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: a skier, but just watching it, just the way they compete,

239
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: the strain on their bodies there going and making those turns.

240
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: I was more worried, Yes, that she could hurt it worse,

241
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: but what if it fails her and is weak and

242
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: she can't control something and can't stop herself. Ah, they

243
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. Doctors are around. I just got nervous,

244
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: lover want to see her if she could be triumph,

245
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: But what a story.

246
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 2: Look, I agree with you, and you said I'm a

247
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: skier haha, I mean I can ski marginally well, but

248
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: you're so so the little bit that I've done a

249
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: couple times a year, you're so you're at the mercy

250
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: of the conditions, and that is what they say went

251
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: wrong in Switzerland. A lot of skiers had issues and

252
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: crashed because of the conditions. So it's just just so

253
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: much is out of your control. It's nerve wracking to

254
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: think that you're doing that and exposing your body to

255
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 2: that when it's not at its best, at its peak.

256
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: So good luck to her. We wish her the very best.

257
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: But we will be watching with probably my eyes like

258
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: half closed. Ah, all right, for the final leg of

259
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: our run. Look, there is a tremendous amount of excitement

260
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: for this year's Super Bowl half time show. It's being

261
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: headlined by the now Grammy winning I mean in every

262
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: big way you can imagine Latin artists. Bad Bunny, he's

263
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: just had a hell of a year. And he is

264
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: on top. But there is also a significant amount of controversy.

265
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: What well, you know what.

266
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: I wrote it down just to get.

267
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: It's because he sings in Spanish. He has been openly

268
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: critical of Trump's immigration policies. The end of story. Those

269
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: are the two reasons why he is now controversial according

270
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: to many on the right and so yes, that has

271
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: now led to some competition. The late Charlie Kirk's organization

272
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: Turning Point USA has announced its lineup to counter program

273
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: the NFL's halftime show with their own show called The

274
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: All American Halftime Show. Want to point out that Bad

275
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: Bunny is an American?

276
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: Why do you have to point that out, Sweetenes.

277
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: Because the title of this show implies that somehow he's

278
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: not he's Puerto Rican, He's American. I just I wanted

279
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: to make for people.

280
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I think people know that Americans both oh man, come on.

281
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Of course people know Bad Bunny is an American citizen.

282
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: He travels to the mainland without a past.

283
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: If you went out and actually interviewed people just to say,

284
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: is Bad Bunny a legal American? I bet you you'd

285
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: I bet you so many people would say no.

286
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: Well, the All American halftime show is competing with the

287
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: other American halftime show at the Super Bowl, but they

288
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: describe there as as a family friendly, values driven event

289
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: created for viewers seeking uplifting, patriotic entertainment. The headliner give

290
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: you five seconds to guess, and you probably only needed

291
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: too well.

292
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: It was either going to be Lee Greenwood or Kid Rock.

293
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: But Lee Greenwood can't headline.

294
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: It's probably not.

295
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: He's got one song and then you do a couple

296
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: of remixes of it. Maybe I don't know, no, and

297
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know Glee Greenwood's music. He might have a

298
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: whole bunch of hits.

299
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: Proud to be an American is I don't even know

300
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: that's the name of it.

301
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: But yes, okay, but anyway, Yes, Kid Rock is going

302
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: to headline this thing, accompanied by country singers Lee Brice, Yes,

303
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Brandley Gilbert. You know that one?

304
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 2: Nope?

305
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Gabby Barrett, did you know that one?

306
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: Nope?

307
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: But you did know Lee Brice.

308
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: It sounds familiar. Couldn't name a song, okay, just.

309
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Like Lee Greenwood. They probably collaborated. The All American half

310
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: times show is going to begin at eight o'clock Eastern time,

311
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: set to go inside with the NFL Super Bowl halftime show.

312
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: Counterprogramming will stream on Turning Point USA social media channels,

313
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: x Rumble YouTube, as well as Trinity Broadcasting Network and

314
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: some conservative networks.

315
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: Okay, but I was kind of look I looked at

316
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: Kid Rock's comments and making this announcement that he was headlining.

317
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: He said, we're approaching this show like David and Goliath.

318
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: Competing with pro football with the pro football machine and

319
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: a global pop superstar is almost impossible, or is it?

320
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: And then he took a shot at Batuny, which he

321
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: didn't need to do. He could have just left it

322
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: at that, but no, he said this about Bad Bunny.

323
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: He said, he's having a dance party, wearing a dress

324
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: and singing in Spanish. Cool. We plan to play great

325
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 2: songs for folks who love America. And the frustrating thing

326
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: about that is you can love America and love Bad

327
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 2: Bunny because Bad Bunny is an American. I just I

328
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: feel like that just needs to be said.

329
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: But you can you can also love America and have

330
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: a lot of problems with things America has done in

331
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: its history, that it's doing currently and the things it

332
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: might do down the road, and still be proud of

333
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: your country and love your country. That shows the love.

334
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Could you give a damn enough to speak up if

335
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: you see something that's going wrong. It's okay, folks, there's space.

336
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: And if Kid Rock were doing the halftime show with

337
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, I'd watch that too. I'll watch whoever

338
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: they put up because this is the most of all

339
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: American events and it has to be some way representative

340
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: of all of us. We as Americans, have the biggest

341
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: star on planet Earth right now. He's an American bad

342
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: money I know, Taylor Swift is. He is just the

343
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: hottest thing on the planet. We should be proud of

344
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: that and all celebrate whatever we're about to see, and

345
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: if that includes maybe learning a little Spanish.

346
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: You were trying to learn the main lyrics, Yes, and

347
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: I tried.

348
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: I was.

349
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: I gave up quickly. You kept trying.

350
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: I'll do I'll know it before Sunday. Okay, It's just

351
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: it's okay, why do we If it's not this, then

352
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: it's not American. If it's not exactly this thing that

353
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: you say, then it doesn't belong in America. I just

354
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: I hate that attitude.

355
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: It's so un American to even say that.

356
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: There's room for all right, that's room for all of it. Sorry,

357
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the morning right now.

358
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see though, just if they're

359
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: able to take any sort of ratings or viewership away

360
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: from the halftime show and direct it towards them. I'm

361
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: sure we'll see the pr machines at work come Monday.

362
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Already you said he was trying to lower expectation life

363
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: or is it right?

364
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 2: Right? Okay, all right. Quote of the day as we

365
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: leave you on this Wednesday, I took some time trying

366
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: to find something. There's so much going on in the world,

367
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 2: but I do appreciate this one from one of our favorites,

368
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: Michael Singer. Here is your quote of the day. Whatever

369
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 2: you focus on, you feed. If you give your attention

370
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: to fear, it grows. If you stay aware and open

371
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: love naturally arises, you are not helpless. You are a creator.

372
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Whatever you focus on, you feed. Yes, well was the

373
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: next one.

374
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: If you give, If you give your attention to fear,

375
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: it grows.

376
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give my attention to money. Great quote,

377
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: mister Singer.

378
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: If you stay aware and open love naturally arises, you

379
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: are not helpless. You are a creator. I love that

380
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: we all look to feed our fear or our feelings.

381
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: We victimize ourselves. We act as if some things or

382
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: some people happened to us. That is not a productive

383
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: or positive way forward. I love that you are not helpless.

384
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: You are a creator. I love it and create everybody.

385
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: Love and openness, not fear and judgment. Anyway, I hope

386
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: that helps on this Wednesday and without everyone, thank you
