Speaker 1: Get underway, President Trump continues his public attacks against the

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and US docks continue to nosedive.

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Plus Trump comes to the defense of Defense Secretary Pete

11
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Hegseth despite a report that he's already looking for his

00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: replacement following a second group chat controversy.

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: Also on the Run this morning, you really didn't think

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Harvard was gonna let two point two billion dollars go

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: without a fight, did you? They're not. Also, your student

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,080

17
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: and the DOE plans to force people to pay up.

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: Plus, Homelands Security Secretary Christy Nomes Pirst apparently wasn't that

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: secure even under the watchful eye of Secret Service, costing

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: her one thousands and a whole lot more. Plus House

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: Republicans have renewed their efforts to prosecute New York mayoral

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: candidate and former Governor Andrew Cuomo for statements he made

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: five years ago.

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: Plus on the Run this morning, NFL Hall of Famer

00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: and ESPN host Shannon Sharp accused of rape in a

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,680

00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: proof that Scott Peterson is innocent and taking its claims

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: to court, and the government is suing Uber. Want to

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: know why, Maybe she'd just go check your Uber receipts.

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: We'll explain that we certainly will. But we begin our

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: run this morning in Rome, where the Vatican has released

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: the official cause of death for Pope Francis. The eighty

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: eight year old Pontiff died from a stroke and irreversible

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: heart failure. The Pope's death certificate noted that the Pope

35
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: fell into a coma in the hours leading up to

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: his death on Easter Monday.

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Also, the Vatican has just announced that his funeral will

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: be held on Saturday at ten am local time. President

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: Trump says he and First Lady Milania Trump will travel

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: to Rome for the funeral posting we look forward to

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: being there.

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Last night, the Vatican held its first public commemoration of

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Francis with a sunset Rosary prayer inside Saint Peter Square,

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: and also in keeping with tradition, Vatican officials locked and

45
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: sealed the doors to Pope Francis's formal residence with red

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: ribbon and a wax seal.

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is part of a Catholic ritual. When the

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: seat of the papacy is vacant, it marks the end

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: of Francis's term as Pope and the beginning of the

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: conclave process. During the conclave, the role of Ray Fines

51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: will be played by Cardinal Kevin Farrell. He's an Irish

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: born American cardinal who will serve as the Vatican's administrator

53
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 2: during the conclave period until a new pope is chosen. If,

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: of course you are familiar with that all to popular

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: and Oscar nominated film Conclave, Yes, this is the role

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: that Ray Finds was playing during that movie.

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. And by the way, Conclave I saw was just

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: put now on Prime video. We were looking for yesterday

59
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: was it had left Peacock but now it is on

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: Prime So if you do want to watch Conclave, to

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: catch up. It is an interesting, fictitious but somewhat historical

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: adaptation of what we may be seeing in the next

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: coming days. Some cardinals have already begun to make their

64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: way to Rome from around the world, and they'll continue

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: to do so over the next fifteen days or so

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: to officially elect a new Pope. Cardinal Timothy Dolan here

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: in New York City is giving a noon mass in

68
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: honor of Francis at Saint Patrick's Cathedral today and then

69
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: he will head to Rome for the funeral and the

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: conclave process.

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: And tomorrow morning we are expecting the Vatican to move

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: the body of Pope Francis in his simple wooden coffin

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: to Saint Peter's Basilica so mourners can pay their final respects.

74
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: Pope frances will lie in state until the night before

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: the funeral.

76
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: And we would encourage all of you all to check

77
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: out a podcast we did yesterday on the passing of

78
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: Pope Francis. Also interesting. You've seen a lot of the

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: world leaders have paid their respects and talked about the

80
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: impact Pope Francis has had on the world and on

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: their country specifically. But we also saw a pretty cool display.

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Last night, the Empire State Building was lit up in

83
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: golden white and honor Pope Francis. The Eiffel Tower also

84
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: went dark in honor of the Pontiff. Well next up

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: on the run, President Trump publicly attacked the chairman of

86
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve once again, and once again, the stock

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: markets tumbled.

88
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: Trump called the Fed chair Jerome Powell, a major loser

89
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: for not lowering interest rates, writing on social media, there

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: can be a slowing of the economy unless mister too late,

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: a major loser, lowers interest rates now. So he gave

92
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: them two derogatory nicknames in one sentence. Impressive, mister Trump.

93
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: The financial experts will tell you that Trump's tariffs have

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: already caused market declines, and that steady stream of insults

95
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: against power it's not helping matters now.

96
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: The S ANDP closed down nearly two and a half percent.

97
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: It's lost sixteen percent since February. The Nasdaq also fell

98
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: more than two and a half percent and is down

99
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: eighteen percent since the beginning of the year. The Dow

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: also fell a thousand points, and the US dollar dropped

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to its lowest level in three years.

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: Last week, President called for Powell to be fired, saying

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: his termination could not come fast enough. The President now

104
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: has his people looking into the matter, trying to figure

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: out if he has the power to fire him or not.

106
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: There is a long standing Supreme Court ruling from nineteen

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: thirty five. It upheld Congress's authority to create independent federal

108
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: agencies like the Federal Reserve, and board members can only

109
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: be terminated before their terms are up for cause.

110
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: Powell has already said publicly he would not step down

111
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: if Trump asked him to, and buy Trump's words, he

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: didn't ask him to, but he's telling him he wants

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: him to. Trump could always just wait Powell out as

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: TERMUS FED share ends a year from now, on May fifteenth,

115
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six.

116
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: We continue now on this morning run and next up.

117
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: Despite the headlines, Pete Hegseth is doing a great job

118
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: as Secretary of Defense according to his boss. His boss

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: being President Trump, who has publicly stood by his seemingly

120
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: constantly underfire Defense secretary. After reports this week that Hegseth

121
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: shared sensitive military information in a group chat that this

122
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: time included his wife and his.

123
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: Brother, Hegseth also went on the defensive, saying this is

124
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: what the media does they take anonymous sources from disgruntled

125
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: former employees and then they try to slash and burn

126
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: people and ruin their reputation. NPR is reporting that, despite

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: what Trump told reporters yesterday, the White House is in

128
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: the process of looking for a new Defense Secretary to

129
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: replace hegsas.

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: The White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levell denied Levitt excuse me?

131
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: Carolyn Levitt denied MPR's report, posting on ex that the

132
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: President stands strongly behind Hexath. Several Democrats have already called

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: for hexas resignation. No surprise, it's been a rough couple

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: of days of revolving doors at the Department of Defense. Monday,

135
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: the Pentagon announced hegsas chief of Staff is leaving his

136
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: position and will now handle special projects at the DoD.

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: And that all comes out after several top aids to

138
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Hegseth were fired late last week as part of a

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: leak investigation. And yes, it was just last month that

140
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: Hegseth was lambasted after a journalist was accidentally added to

141
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: a group chat with senior White House officials discussing real

142
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: time military strikes in Yemen.

143
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: Next up on the Run Now we continue our ongoing

144
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: and popular series called Hood and Gone ensued Trump now

145
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 2: today's plaint of Harvard University, the prestigious Ivy League school,

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: has filed suit against the Trump administration for what you

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: guessed it withholding that billions of dollars in federal funding.

148
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: The White House announced it was freezing two point two

149
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: billion dollars in federal funding to Harvard after the school

150
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: refused to make changes that the administration wanted, including changes

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: in admission policies and hiring practice, among other things. Harvard

152
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: claims the administration is unlawfully keeping the money from them

153
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: as leverage to gain control of academic decision making at Harvard.

154
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: President Trump, however, claims he wants to root out anti

155
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: Semitism at elite schools after several with a site of

156
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: protests about the Israel kaza War. In a statement announcing

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: the lawsuit, the Harvard president said, and I quote, the

158
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: government has not and cannot identify any rational connection between

159
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: anti semitism concerns and the research that Harvard does.

160
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: All right, next up on our run, listen up, use

161
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: student loanees out there. A major change is just around

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: the corner, and it could force millions to start repaying

163
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: their student loans, whether they like it or not.

164
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Education Department just announced that they will resume

165
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 2: involuntary collection of federal student loans that are in default.

166
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: What does involuntary means means they're about to start garnishing

167
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: some wages and possibly taking any state and federal payments

168
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: you're owed, such as your tax refault.

169
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: An estimated five million of these loans are currently in default.

170
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: But President Trump hit pause on student loan payments during

171
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: his first term, giving people a reprieve during the pandemic.

172
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: President Biden extended that pause and expanded on student debt relief,

173
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: but Supreme Court has ruled his plan is in unconstitutional.

174
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: So this is now actually going to be the first

175
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: time in five years that people with federal student loans

176
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: will have payments due. The Department of Education says they'll

177
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: unpause payments May fifth. That's when they'll start, and people

178
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: will start getting notices in the next couple of weeks.

179
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: Secretary Linda McMahan of the Education Department put it this way,

180
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 2: Americans will no longer be forced to serve as collateral

181
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: for irresponsible student loan policies. It was a policy, however,

182
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: that was very helpful of people during the pandemic. To

183
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: have those extra dollars they didn't have to worry about

184
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: was great. But you get used to not paying a

185
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: loan for five years and all of a sudden it

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: to do that's going to throw you off.

187
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Yes, certainly, well all right. Next up on the run,

188
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: the woman in charge of our nation's security, who is

189
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: being protected by the Secret Service, had her purse stolen

190
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: out of Washington, d c restaurant.

191
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: This should be impossible to happen. Homeland Security Secretary Christi

192
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: nom acknowledged that the thief got away with her Drynse

193
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: apartment keys, passport, Homeland Security badge, blank checks, and about

194
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: three thousand dollars in cash. Law enforcement says the Secret

195
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: Service reviewed the restaurant's security camera footage and saw a

196
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: white male wearing a medical mask steal her, post her

197
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: bag and leave the restaurant.

198
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it happened at the Capitol Burger restaurant on Easter Sunday.

199
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: The Secret Service has now launched an investigation and is

200
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: monitoring any use of gnomes stolen goods and for whatever reason,

201
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security felt like they needed to

202
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: explain why she had so much cash in her purse,

203
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: which doesn't require an explanation, but they said her family

204
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: was in town. She was using it to pay for

205
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the dinner, to buy Easter gifts. So she had all

206
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: of that in her purse, prepared to spend away, and

207
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: instead a thief took it all away.

208
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: That's what they want to explain. Can you explain to

209
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: me how the woman in charge of this nation's security,

210
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: how anybody is allowed to get close enough to her

211
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: to steal her purse with include it her security bage.

212
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: I don't care about the three thousand dollars. I don't

213
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: give a damn. Yeah, I care. How somebody got this

214
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: close to her in a restaurant should be impossible.

215
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: It should be impossible, and especially when you have secret

216
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Service guarding you, that is disturbing beyond belief.

217
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: I should wait, maybe she left it sitting somewhere accidentally.

218
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: I need to hear those details. Homeland Security is still

219
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: the HHS Secretary's purse, and he doesn't have a purse.

220
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: But you get my point, Yes, I do. Anybody but

221
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: the Homeland Security Secretary. We can tell you on our

222
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: run here. We will stay in Washington where a Congressional

223
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: committee wants former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo prosecuted and

224
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: has asked the Justice Department to do just that. The

225
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,479
Speaker 2: Republican led House Oversight Committee says Cuomo lie to Congress

226
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: when he gave testimony about New York's COVID response.

227
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: The committee chair said Cuomo made criminally false statements about

228
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: how he managed the pandemic in nursing homes and called

229
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: him a man with a history of corruption and deceit

230
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: now caught red handed lying to Congress. But Cuomo's spokesperson

231
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: calls that's statement nothing more than a meritless press release

232
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: that was nonsense last year and even more so now.

233
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see, this is the second time around. The

234
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: same committee referred Cuomo for prosecution previously, but the last

235
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: time they did it was during the Biden administration and

236
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: nothing ever came of that. So the Republican chair thought, hey,

237
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 2: I'll give it another go with the Republican president and

238
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: his handpicked attorney general.

239
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: Now, this could complicate things for Cuomo, who is currently

240
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: running for mayor of New York. He resigned as governor

241
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: amid sexual harassment allegations in twenty twenty one, so he

242
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: does have some skeletons in his closet hanging over his head,

243
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: but right now he is the leading candidate in the

244
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: Democratic primary, which will be held in June. We'll see

245
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: if this has any impact on his pulling numbers once you.

246
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: See the matchup that's coming. One is the current mayor

247
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: who just had charges dropped against him for federal corruption.

248
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: Another is the former governor of New York who possibly

249
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: is facing a Department of Justice prosecution.

250
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: And those two will likely go head to head in November.

251
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: We will see how the city of New York feels

252
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: about either man.

253
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: Nah, it's a good town. Stay with us here on

254
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: this Morning Ron. When we come back, a former a

255
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: former NFL tight end who is an NFL Hall of

256
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: Famer and an ESPN host, has just been hit with

257
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: a fifty million dollar lawsuit. Also, Scott Peterson is innocent,

258
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: and a group says they can prove it. Stay with us.

259
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: We continue now on this Tuesday Morning Ron with NFL

260
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer and ESPN host Shannon Sharp. He has

261
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: responded to a fifty million dollars sexual assault lawsuit filed

262
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: against him, calling it a blatant, cynical attempt to shake

263
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: him down for millions of dollars.

264
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: A woman only identified as Jane Doe filed the suit

265
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: in Nevada, claiming Sharp raped her on two occasions, was abusive,

266
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: and even threatened to kill her during what she calls

267
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: a rocky, consensual two year relationship. She claimed she met

268
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: the former all pro tight end at a gym in

269
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, when she was nineteen and he was

270
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: fifty four. Now.

271
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: She said they started a relationship in which he became

272
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: more controlling and violent over time. This is all according

273
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: to the lawsuit. Sharp called it full of lies, distortions,

274
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: and misrepresentations, vow to fight the allegations vigorously in court.

275
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: Sharp is host of the popular Chayshay Club podcast and

276
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: there is a regular on ESPN's First Take.

277
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Now.

278
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: The Atlantic is reporting that he will in fact be

279
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: in his regular spot today on the air on ESPN's

280
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: First Take, but they say he is not expected to

281
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: address the allegations at all, So he's going to go

282
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: business as usual.

283
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: All right. Sharp won three Super Bowls during his playing days,

284
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: two with Denver, one with Baltimore. When he retired, he

285
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: was the all time leader in catches, yards and touchdowns

286
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: for tight ends. And by the way, this is of

287
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: note the Jane Doe represented in the lawsuit by the

288
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: same Texas lawyer, Tony Busby. You should know his name

289
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: by now because he's the one who's brought all of

290
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: those civil cases against Sean Diddy Combs. He also brought

291
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: it against Jay Z correct So yeah, that's gone now.

292
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: But he certainly has been litigious over the past couple

293
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: of months, years, perhaps even.

294
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: And people hear that name and they are quickly dismissive

295
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: in some of these suits. What's going to come over them?

296
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: But he also represented the massage therapists of twenty plus

297
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: of them who are assumed the Cleveland quarterback to Shan

298
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: Watson and got settlements in that case. So people to

299
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: kind of roll their eyes at this point when they

300
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: see his name. But still he's gotten some results.

301
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: He's become the Gloria Allred of women who are fighting

302
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: back against famous men. Apparently.

303
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: Wonder how Gloria Hills about you making that?

304
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Well, I mean she's been I mean she has been

305
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: that lawyer for so many women.

306
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: Oh, we continue here on this Tuesday morning run now

307
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: with the La Innocence Project. It has asked a court

308
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: to overturn Scott Peterson's murder conviction, saying he is innocent

309
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: of killing his wife and their unborn child, and they

310
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: claim they can prove it.

311
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. The group filed a four hundred page petition with

312
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: the California Court of Appeals after it conducted a year

313
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: long investigation. They say Peterson was denied his right to

314
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: due process and a fair trial. But they also claim

315
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: to have evidence of Peterson's innocence, in particular scientific evidence

316
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: that shows the date of death of Peterson's unborn child

317
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: was later than prosecutor's claim.

318
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: Also Scott Peterson's lawyer's claim to have an expert in

319
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: water movement that can prove that Lacy Peterson's body was

320
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: not dumped where prosecutors say it was. Peterson, you might remember,

321
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: was convicted of killing his wife, Lacey, and their unborn child.

322
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: That conviction was in two thousand and four. This was

323
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: a case, of course, that captivated the country.

324
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: It certainly did. Lacey was just twenty seven years old.

325
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: She was eight months pregnant when she disappeared on Christmas

326
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Eve of two thousand and two. Her body was then

327
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: found in the San Francisco Bay the following spring. The

328
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: la Innocence Project says every aspect of the prosecution's theory

329
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: as to how the crimes in this case were committed

330
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: has now shown to be false.

331
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: Peterson, who is now fifty two years old, has always

332
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: maintained his innocence and repeated that in this latest filing,

333
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: writing I did not and could never harm or kill

334
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: my family. He was previously denied a new trial in

335
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. However, his death sentence was overturned in

336
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty so he's now serving life without parole. A

337
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: lot of legal experts who have looked at this filing

338
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: were impressed by its detail and the work that had

339
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: been done. The Innocence Project certainly has a record of

340
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: actually being successful in getting people literally off death row

341
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: in some cases. But now we have to wait see

342
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: what this court does, if it does anything, So the

343
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: Innocence Projects say they'll wait for that to determine what

344
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: their next moves can and should be.

345
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It's fascinating, and I know a lot

346
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: of people are waiting to see what happens in that

347
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: case for the final leg of our run today, have

348
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: you checked your latest uber receipts. Perhaps you should once

349
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: you hear why the Federal Trade Commission is suing the

350
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: ride share app.

351
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: FTC claims Uber has been charging you, the customer for

352
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: its Uber one service without their consent and has made

353
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: it too difficult for people to cancel the service. I

354
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 2: didn't know what this was. The Uber one subscription. It's

355
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: a monthly fee that gives members free delivery and discounts

356
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: on rise ye.

357
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know what this one was either. But the

358
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: FTC says that in addition to enrolling people in the

359
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: plan without their consent, Uber has also charged customers before

360
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: the billing date, automatically charging them before that free trial

361
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: period ended. The FDC goes on to say that when

362
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: customers do try to cancel, this is crazy. They got

363
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: very specific here in the lawsuit. Some users, they say,

364
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: were forced to click on as many as twenty three

365
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: screens and take thirty two actions before they were able

366
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: to cancel.

367
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: Well, if they're keeping over it, I have a bunch

368
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: of people I would like for them to sue. Uber

369
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: has pushed back lawyers, saying that the FTC rushed its

370
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: investigative process and it's complaining against Uber is based on misunderstandings.

371
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: The company maintains that it does not sign up or

372
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: charge people without their consent, and that customers can now

373
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: cancel on the app within twenty seconds or less. I

374
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 2: don't know. I've just picked up my phone. I don't

375
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: know if I'm signed up or not. I don't even

376
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: know how to check.

377
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: I think you have to go into these settings of

378
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: your Apple phone to see what your subscriptions are. But

379
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: it is a little unnerving, and no, there were so

380
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: many reports from folks who said that, and you would

381
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: I saw you yesterday trying to cancel something, and I

382
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: thought of you when I was reading the frustration by

383
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: so many customers saying that when they would get a

384
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: notice from Uber saying you need if you want to cancel,

385
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: you'll have to notify us, then there was no way

386
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: to notify them. They couldn't find a number. When they

387
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: found a number, the number referred them to go on

388
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: to the app, and it was this vicious round robin

389
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: where you literally could not cancel the subscription. Sound familiar, babe.

390
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to call out this home security company

391
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: that has been charging me since last summer for a

392
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: home I no longer own. I tried to cancel last summer.

393
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: They said it was done. I tried to cancel again

394
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: a month ago, they said it was done, and I

395
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: was on the phone again yesterday trying to cancel. I

396
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: will update you in a month. Yes, I'll be trying

397
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 2: to cancel once again.

398
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: It's about an hour long phone call each time, where

399
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: you're transferred to at least three people, but sometimes even more,

400
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: you know FTC.

401
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: I hope they got a complaint line. I'm calling them today.

402
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: They'll probably put me a hole too. But we like

403
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: to leave you with something positive. Man, this whole rundown

404
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: today is just seems like a lot of negative stuff.

405
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, folks, but we like you leave with

406
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: something a little more uplifting. Is our quote of the day.

407
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: We'd like for you to consider this as you go

408
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: about your Tuesday.

409
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: Yes, if you want to lift yourself up, lift up

410
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: someone else. That is from Booker T. Washington. It reminded

411
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: me of something that I would imagine Pope Francis would

412
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: have said as well, because that was certainly how he

413
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: lived his life. And so, yeah, when you're feeling down,

414
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: you mentioned this as well.

415
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 2: The remedy.

416
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: The remedy is to go be of service to someone else.

417
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: And so I just I love the way Booker T.

418
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: Washington put this so quote of the day for your

419
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday once again for everyone, if you want to lift

420
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: yourself up, lift up someone else. And with that, everyone,

421
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: thank you so much for running with us. Let's try

422
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: to have a more positive morning run tomorrow. We'll look

423
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: for some feel good stories. They're out there.

424
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 2: You know, I took it out of the rundown. Sharon

425
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: Loketti of Kenya won the Boston Marathon yesterday and she

426
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: beat the previous record by two and a half minutes. Wow,

427
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: So how about that. Let's say congratulations with that amazing

428
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: fore I took it out of the rundown this morning.

429
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 2: Had so much going on, I need the positive something Yeah, uplifting.

430
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: Congratulations a record in the most famous marathon in the world.

431
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: She beat it by two and a half minutes. She

432
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 2: beat her closest competitor by nineteen seconds. They essentially had

433
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: a sprint a run in the final mile. So there

434
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: you go. That's positive.

435
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: Thank you for that.

Speaker 2: Yes, with that, folks, I'm gonna go try to lift

00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: Let's say something nice. I'm sorry this isn't going I.
