But the Governor of Illinois has 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: a lot to celebrate. I didn't realize how much I 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: didn't know he was a billionaire already. 11 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know that either. I didn't realize that he 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: was heir to this massive hotel fortune. But he's made 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: a little fortune for himself this past year. 14 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, in Vegas.

You can you can indict a ham 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: sandwich or whatever frivolous place. This one kind of takes 21 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: the cake for me. 22 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, people a class action lawsuit over noisy shoes. Seriously 23 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: squeaky shoes. Yes, we should actually get involved because we 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: have squeaky shoes too. 25 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: We have a case Nike Watch out. We are coming 26 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: for you. But we will explain. There is a class 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 2: action lawsuit for people who say their sneakers are too loud. 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: We will get into that this morning. Also, we should 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: have a class action lawsuit over ticket prices. If you're 30 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: trying to go to a World Cup game next year 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: here in the US, good luck. We are talking. They're 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 2: not quite six figures, but they're getting up there close. 33 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: And you know what's annoying about this. It's not FIFA, 34 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: which is of course the host of the World Cup 35 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: here in the Americas. But it's the resale issue. And 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: that's always the problem with any sort of concert or venue. 37 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: It's not the actual sale of the ticket. It's folks 38 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: quickly getting a ticket and then reselling it for exorbitant prices. 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: You know, I think what should happen is Mackenzie Scott 40 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: should buy up all the tickets and just give them away. 41 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: Mackenzie Scott applaud this woman once again, the philanthropist who 42 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: said she's gonna give away her fortune, which is upwards 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: of forty billion.

Yes, another high profile Trump critic, 83 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: not quite political foes, but yes, Trump critics publicly another 84 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: one has been indicted. This one actually served in his administration. 85 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: We're talking about former Trump National security advisor John Bolton. 86 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 2: He was indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday and 87 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: he is facing eighteen counts having to do with national 88 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: defense information. 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: He's accused of improperly retaining, storing, and sharing sensitive materials. 90 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: Bolton in a statement denied any wrongdoing, and he got 91 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: in a plug for his book. Good for him. 92 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: Did you like this? Yeah? 93 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: You know what take advantage? This is the no press 94 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: is bad press kind of theory. I guess when you're 95 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: selling a book, Bolton said this. Donald Trump's retribution against 96 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: me began during Trump's first administration continued when he tried 97 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: unsuccessfully to block the publication of my book The Room 98 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: where It Happened before the twenty twenty election, and became 99 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: one of his rallying cries in his reelection. Now I 100 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: had become the latest target in weaponizing the Justice Department 101 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: to charge those he deems to be his enemies with 102 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: charges that were declined before, or distort the facts. 103 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: I usually roll my eyes when people like shamelessly promote 104 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: their book. This was just kind of laid in there, 105 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: subtly appropriately to a certain degree. I didn't mind it 106 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: that much. 107 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I didn't mind it at all I think this was. 108 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Actually it got a little laugh from me. 109 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 2: It did for me too. Now, his lawyer goes on 110 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: to say that the charge is stem from Bolton's personal 111 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: diary entries, which he shared with immediate family. The argument 112 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: is that he made these little injuries, have entries having 113 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: to do with his work, he sent them to family, 114 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: and because those entries had something to do with national security, 115 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: and he sent it to a family member, then therefore 116 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: he must have That's kind of the basis of all 117 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: that They say. This has been investigated for years and years, 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: and this is just the president trying to get them. 119 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: Of course, James Comey, the former FBI director, and Letitia James, 120 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: the age here in New York who brought the case 121 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: against Trump. They both are facing federal indictments as well. 122 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi has been busy. Next up on the Run, 123 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: day seventeen for the shutdown. Voted on the bill for 124 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: the tenth time yesterday and as we predicted, same results. 125 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, our shutdown updates are getting shorter and shorter in 126 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: the rundowns every day. 127 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: You're not even writing complete sentences, You're just putting in 128 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: like bullet points. 129 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 2: Okay, shutdown. Day seventeen voted for a tenth time yesterday, 130 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: same result. No Dems, no Republicans, Shane's eyes. Will get 131 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: to day twenty next week. Here's the thing, folks, they're 132 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: not there adjourned today. It seems weird during a shutdown. 133 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: It seems like you should work through the weekend. Instead, 134 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: they're taking days off. 135 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: Actually, well for people who weren't getting their paychecks, I 136 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: think they will probably wholeheartedly agree with that sentimental. 137 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: So here's the point, folks. So we know we're on 138 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: day seventeen. Now, there's not going to be any work 139 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 2: during the week, so we will get to eighteen nineteen 140 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 2: twenty of the shutdown will be on Monday. Day twenty 141 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 2: one will be Tuesday. If we get to Wednesday, this 142 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: will be the second longest government shut down in US history. 143 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: Oh wow, you said if instead of when yesterday, you 144 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: were going with when you know? 145 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: I am it's Friday. Feeling a little more upomous. 146 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Next up on the run, we will head to Arizona, 147 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: where tonight fifty five year old Richard Jerff is the 148 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: scheduled excuse me to die by lethal injection after pleading 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: guilty to the murder of an entire family, including a 150 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: five year old boy.

This is 164 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the fourth execution this week in the US, and a 165 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: lot has been written about the state of Arizona, specifically 166 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: because they are among a couple of states that had 167 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: some serious issues with their lethal injection process, where they 168 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: had reports that are also equally heinoused to talk about 169 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: in terms of how long it took people to die 170 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: and the pain they experienced. So they actually just reinstated 171 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: the death penalty or at least following through on executions 172 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: three years ago. 173 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: You know, we should probably if we check their calendar, 174 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: they might have a full execution calendar, if you will, 175 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: as morbid as that sounds, because they're trying to catch up. 176 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred and eight prisoners on death row because 177 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: they had a long moratorium trying to figure out how 178 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: to make the drugs they have be less cruel and unusual. 179 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: You say fourth this week and think about is supposed 180 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: to be five? Yeah, one guy had his the state 181 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: of exe Robertson in Texas. Yeah, continuing here on the 182 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: run here on this Friday morning. Now, the first US 183 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: cases of a severe strain of IMPOCS have been identified. 184 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: The thing here is that these are the first US 185 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: cases where the two people infected had no recent travel history. 186 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: So where did they get it? As the question, We 187 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: only know that patients are from California, or the California 188 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: residents at least, and they required hospitalization and are now 189 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: isolating and recovering at home. 190 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: One is from Long Beach, the other La County and 191 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: right now, health officials say there is no known connection 192 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: between those two people and they don't know how they 193 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: got it. There have been six previous previous cases this 194 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: year of this more severe strain of EMPOCS, but all 195 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: of those patients had recently traveled to areas associated with 196 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: the outbreak, which is in central and Eastern Africa. 197 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: So the health department is investigating trying to figure out 198 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: who the patients came in contact with. They're looking for 199 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: the source of exposure. This freaks medical professionals out where 200 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 2: we don't know how to contain this damn thing. 201 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: In all the articles, health officials are using terms like 202 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: deeply concerning. 203 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, parts of Africa are dealing with person to 204 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 2: person spread of this strain of the disease, which is 205 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: spread through sex and other forms of direct contact and 206 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: through touching contaminated items like betting or clothing. Now. 207 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: Mpox is a virus that was formerly known as monkey pox, 208 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: and people who contract it have flu like symptoms and 209 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: often get a painful rash that appears on their hands, feet, chest, face, mouth, 210 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: or even near the genitals. Most people do recover within 211 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: two to four weeks, but it's described as painful and excruciating. 212 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: There is a vaccine available for people considered most at 213 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: risk risk. A lot of this is gay men through 214 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: same sex sex, basically is how a lot of this 215 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: is transferred. But it's in the same family of smallpox. 216 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: And the good news is it's rarely fatal. It's just 217 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: scary and not something anybody wants. 218 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: But this is one of those things highly contagious, right, 219 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: can spread. Where did they get They got it here? Yes, somewhere. 220 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: Wow, it's scary. 221 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 2: That is a little scary. All right, Folks who want 222 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: to continue here on this Friday morning, run now with 223 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: Ace Freely, founding member of the legendary rock band Kiss, 224 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: he has passed away at the age of seventy four. 225 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: Ace Freely served as lead guitarist. He died at his 226 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: home in New Jersey. 227 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: In a statement, his family said this, we are completely 228 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: devastated and heartbroken in his last moments, we were fortunate 229 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, 230 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth. 231 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: Freely announced last month that he was canceling shows after 232 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: he had to go to the hospital after a fall 233 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: at the studio. That's all we know is that he fell, 234 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: and then a few weeks later he died seventy four. 235 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: You hear that's so young these days, right. His fellow 236 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: Mats Geene Simmons Paul Stanley put out a joint statement. 237 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: They said he was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier 238 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: during some of the most formative foundational chapters of Kiss. Now. 239 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: Ace Freeley was born Paul Daniel Freeley and eventually became 240 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: known as Spaceman when Kiss was formed in seventy three. Look, 241 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: I have to be honest, I didn't know they had 242 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: names going with. There was a Catman, there was a Spaceman, 243 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: there was I didn't know they each had these. 244 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: Little I Look, obviously we know the iconic look and 245 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: some of the songs, but I was not that familiar 246 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: as well. So Freeley left the band actually in the 247 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: early eighties, but he reunited with Kiss in nineteen ninety 248 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: six as they continued to tour. Kiss has sold more 249 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: than one hundred million albums and went into the Rock 250 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Fame in twenty fourteen. I know 251 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: they're about to get a big award in December, so 252 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: it's sad he wasn't able to be there for it, 253 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: but certainly he had an amazing story, a high school dropout, 254 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: no guitar lessons, and yet he became a rose to 255 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: playing the guitar. 256 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: No, he joked about that. He said, yeah, I never 257 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: had a guitar lesson. I dropped out of high school 258 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: and here I am a millionaire and it's like the 259 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: American dream. It's just he wasn't being arrogant about it. 260 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: It's just talented. 261 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty incredible. His story is incredible. If you 262 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: get a chance to read up and look about his story, 263 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 2: you should absolutely do so.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying, 279 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: but yes, it's the case for the governor of Illinois. 280 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: Didn't you know? First of all, he's an heir to 281 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: the Hyatt hotel chain. He's worth about four billion dollars 282 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: and well he picked up some more change in Vegas. 283 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's on the Forbes list. I saw he's like 284 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: number three hundred and something, but I had no idea. 285 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, rich's mayor, excuse me, a governor's. 286 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: The year might be. I have to check that out, 287 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: but it would seem like a three point nine billion 288 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: in counting. But guess what he can add one point 289 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: four million to that cash because that's how much he 290 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: won in a casino in Vegas. Governor J. B. Pritzker 291 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: reported the gambling windfall on his federal tax return this week. 292 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: That's why we all found out, he told reporters after 293 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: they asked him. He got lucky in blackjack on vacation 294 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: with his wife and some friends in Vegas. Pritzker's saying, quote, 295 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: anybody who's played cards in a casino, you often play 296 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: for too long and lose whatever it is you want. 297 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: I was fortunate enough to have to leave before that happened. 298 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: He was one point four million dollars up. I can't 299 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: even get my head around that. You've asked me to 300 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: stop when I'm like a couple hundred bucks up. 301 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: Okay, this is this is billionaire behavior. This is billionaire 302 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: behave to think you know what I left before I 303 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: lost that one point four million. Of course you're supposed 304 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: to get up and. 305 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: Leave when you win one hundred dollars. 306 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: Leave My thing. I always say to you, babe, just 307 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: cash out, put the money in your pocket. You can 308 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: keep playing. But if you see it up there on 309 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: that little electronic monitor, it just feels like play money. 310 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: You keep going to get little chips. 311 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't feel real. 312 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: It doesn't feel now. Spokesperson for the government, Look, the 313 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: guy's a billionaire. Does he need this one point four million? 314 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: You could argue no, So all he said he's going 315 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: to donate the money to charity. That should be the 316 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: end of the story. The problem here is that he 317 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: hasn't done it yet, and if he made the money already, 318 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: we're just finding out about it. The question from reporters 319 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: was why hasn't he donated the money yet? There was 320 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: no response, and so the suggestion kind of being that 321 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: you kind of got called on it, and no, you're 322 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: saying you're going to donate it to charity. Either way, 323 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: it's fine if he wants to keep the money. I'm 324 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: not mad. 325 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,479 Speaker 1: Hey, it's his prerogatives. 326 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: Yes, like you said out, so he shouldn't be called 327 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 2: on it. He is a big time a poker player, 328 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: and I didn't realize he has a charity event that 329 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: raises money for charity a poker game. 330 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called the Chicago Poker Challenge and it raises 331 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: millions of dollars for the Holocaust Museum and Educational Center. 332 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: So he does do some good with hip. But we'll 333 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: see what he is going to I feel like he's 334 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: going to have to announce now where he's it's going 335 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: to have to be giving that money. He's going to 336 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: have to do it. But you know who's not going 337 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: to have to do it, McKenzie Scott. She doesn't want 338 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: your money, She added, again, Yes she doesn't. No one 339 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: even has to ask her a question because she's given 340 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: it away before you even can. The billionaire philanthropist has 341 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: just given an HBCU the largest single donation in its history. 342 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: We are talking Morgan State University in Baltimore. It is 343 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 2: getting sixty three million dollars. 344 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: So awesome. 345 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: This is the latest round of donations from Mackenzie Scott. 346 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: She's been on a giving spree the past several years. 347 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: As you know, she's pledged to give away her fortune, 348 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: which was estimated around forty billion dollars after her divorce 349 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: from Amazon CEO Chef Bezos back in. 350 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen, sixty three million. I wonder where she gets 351 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: those numbers from, because. 352 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: They're all over the place. We have some more details here, 353 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 2: but they're never even numbers, So I don't know how 354 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 2: she does. 355 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: I kind of am curious about what why she comes 356 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: up with those specific numbers. They're not typical. Obviously, nothing's 357 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: typical about what she's giving away. In addition to the 358 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: Morgan State donation, she's also donated forty million dollars to 359 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: the African American Cultural Heritage Action F that's a group 360 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: that preserves and promotes black culture. And then Scott has 361 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: given away about twenty billion dollars in the past five years. 362 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: Some of her biggest here's another like, here are the 363 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: weird numbers.

So this Morgan State one was her second 369 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: one she's done. 370 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: That's amazing. 371 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: She's given one hundred million dollars to one HBCU that 372 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: I've bet a bunch of people listening to us have 373 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 2: no idea what that school is, where it is, maybe 374 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: never even heard of it. I hadn't eight Morgan State University. Yes, 375 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: I mean this woman applaud her and continued to applaud 376 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: she has given away I think nearly half of her money. 377 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 2: That's with a B. She is doing generational change in 378 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: the donation she's making and these are not restricted. Then 379 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 2: she's not given a money say it has to go 380 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: to this programmer that she's not loved about this is awesome. 381 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: I love again, got chills for all the right reasons, 382 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: this time just to hear what she does and hopefully 383 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: gets contagious, you know, the crazy thing. 384 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: And people have whatever opinion they have about Jeff Bezos 385 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: for whatever reasons, with what he does with his money, 386 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: but his money. Don't let me wrong, I'm not, but 387 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 2: that money coming from Amazon is changing lives because someone 388 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: who has access to that money has decided what she 389 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: wants to do with it. Life is funny. That marriage, 390 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: that divorce, that ugliness in the public is benefiting children. 391 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: Some kids sometimes good. 392 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: Well, I didn't want to go there.

Yes, customers have filed a class 407 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: action suit against a popular athletic shoe company because the 408 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: shoes are too damn loud. In fact, the soup claims 409 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: that the customers are embarrassed to wear the sneakers we're 410 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: talking about on brand. We do have some of these, 411 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 2: but they kind of look cool and they clearly are popular, 412 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: but they say the shoes squeak so loud when you 413 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: walk in them that they've now filed a lawsuit class 414 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 2: action in nature. 415 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so here are the claims in the lawsuit.

Claim too, the customers complain 418 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: that the company refused to compensate them, so customers resorted 419 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: to diy modifications to their shoes. Okay, here's the other claim. 420 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: After approximately three months of using his shoes, the plaintiff 421 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: noticed a squeaking with every step that he has been on. 422 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Unable to stop, plaintiff cannot walk and run in his 423 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 1: Cloud Monsters without experiencing a squeak.

It is 444 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: really loud. 445 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: Though it's funny, okay, but come on, you're gonna sue 446 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: over it, right, and we continue to buy them because 447 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: they're awesome shoes. 448 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: Okay, and there are eleven different styles that are mentioned 449 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: in this lawsuit, and the shoes cost around one hundred 450 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: and seventy dollars up to that point. But what are 451 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 2: you supposed to do, ropes? 452 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Don't buy them again if you don't like them. 453 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 2: I can't imagine buying like a diesel vehicle and then 454 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 2: going back. You know what, this engine it's a little loud. 455 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: I mean you, good luck with your lawsuit. 456 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: Okay, final leg of the run here. Now World Cup 457 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: is here. Well it's not until next year, but the 458 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: fever has hit us. And we can see that because 459 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 2: FIFA has announced that more than a million tickets have 460 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: been sold for next year's World Cup, gonna be hosted 461 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: here and US, in Canada, and in Mexico. 462 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: So people from two hundred and twelve different countries have 463 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: already purchased tickets. The top buyers, not surprisingly, are from 464 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: the US, Canada, and Mexico. That makes sense. But here 465 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: are the next countries in order. I love this. It 466 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: just kind of shows the I guess, the fan base 467 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: oh yeah, in each of these countries. So here they 468 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: are in order. The number of people who have bought tickets. 469 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: The next biggest buyers are from England, Germany like soccer, 470 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: Brazil them too, I hear Spain they're kind of big 471 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: on it, Columbia, Argentina, World Cuvers and France they like that. 472 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: So the first round of tickets were available through a 473 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: lottery of four point five million applicants. The next lottery 474 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: will be open to fans in just ten days, that's 475 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: on October twenty seven. 476 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 2: Wait, we need to sign up for this, Yeah, we do. 477 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: Like you have to get into the lottery. If you 478 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: want to get a ticket that is being sold at 479 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: its actual faced value, then you need to get in 480 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: line literally for a chance to buy one of these tickets. 481 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: This is what we got to do. So the lowest 482 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 2: priced seats were set at sixty dollars, but most seats 483 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: in the majority of matches are set at much higher. 484 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 2: The opening match in California has seat prices ranging from 485 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: five hundred and sixty dollars to about three thousand bucks. However, 486 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: FIFA's resale site has now officially opened. Those prices are. 487 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: Absurd and they're gonna get more absurd. This is just 488 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: the beginning.

But the tournament 507 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 2: runs from June eleventh through July nineteenth, twenty twenty six. 508 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: We are wildly excited. 509 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: About We need to get on this. We have talked 510 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: about this. 511 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: Or maybe we should go to Europe. 512 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: It's so fun to watch World Cup games in Europe. 513 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: So ironically, even though it's taking place in the US, 514 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: we would actually buy a ticket and fly to England 515 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: to watch the game in an English pub. It's more fun. 516 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: Crazy, but it really is the case. I think the 517 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: US is qualified. Yeah, the US is it, So that'll 518 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: be big for the US. 519 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: But this is We're actually going to plan our vacation 520 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: schedule around this in June next year. All right. Quote 521 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: of the day for everyone on this Friday. Loved this 522 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: quote and loved who it came from. Most unhappiness is 523 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: caused by people listening to themselves instead of talking to themselves. 524 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: Listening to themselves and stuff. Yes, you're you're you're doing 525 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: what some thing in your mind is telling you to do, 526 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 2: instead of you telling yourself what needs to be done. Yeah, 527 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: we do that. 528 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: Often your thoughts start to get you know you, Just 529 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: I think someone once said, just if you don't think 530 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: your mind is overactive in creating all sorts of worst 531 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: case scenarios and really inventing or reinventing things to suit 532 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: how you feel, just take a moment to observe yourself 533 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: in the shower. Your mind is going crazy. So yes, 534 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: instead of talking to yourself in logical ways and recognizing 535 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: and acknowledging. But well, now our thoughts, man, it is 536 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: they are our own worst enemy. I just love this. 537 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: So this comes from William James. He's a psychologist who 538 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: was born in eighteen forty two. But I did a 539 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: little research. He was dubbed the father of American psychology. 540 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: He was the first educator in this country to offer 541 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: a class in psychology, and he essentially founded Harvard's psychology department. Wow, 542 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: which is so cool. I've never heard of this guy, 543 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: but I think his brother is Henry James, a very 544 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: famous novelist that many people might know. So cool story. 545 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: Love the quote William James. 546 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: William Bill James, and Henry James. 547 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: Yes, creativity, Well they were creative beyond their names. No 548 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: they didn't, But I'll say the quote for you one 549 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: more time. It's something really to think about and then 550 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: talk to yourself about later. Most unhappiness is caused by 551 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: people listening to themselves instead of talking to themselves. So 552 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: we hope you have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend. 553 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 1: Thank you for running with us, every one. 554 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 2: I'm Amy Rosa and I'm TJ Holmes.
