9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: another assassination plot against the former President. Trump names a

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: new borderzar and UN ambassador, plus all fifty states have

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: now officially been called.

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Also on today's run, Republicans getting close to winning the House,

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: saying goodbye to the man us who made us scared

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,880

00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: and eighteen monkeys to.

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Go, plus bitcoin sores Tesla worth a trillion a yell.

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: Education now includes a course on Beyonce and wicked dolls

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: aren't supposed to be this wicked. We begin our run

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: this morning with another attempt on Donald Trump's life. Three

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: people have now been charged in Iran backed murder plots,

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: one of them specifically involving trying to assassinate President elect Trump.

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: Now this is a murder for higher plot. Two people

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: have been arrested, but the third is believed to be

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 2: in Tehran right now. Boj says the Islamic Revolutionary Guard

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: Corps asked Farhud Shakri is the name to kill Trump

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: to avenge the twenty twenty death of the leader of

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: Iran's elite force.

28
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Shakerri told the FBI that when he was instructed to

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: assassinate Trump, he told the group it will cost a

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of money. Well, apparently the official from that group

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: said this, We already have spent a lot of money,

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: so money is not an issue, he said. He was

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: asked also to surveil two Jewish American citizens here in

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 1: New York City and was offered half a million dollars

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: to murder either of them.

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: US Attorney Damian Williams said that the charges against the

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: three are message to Iran that it cannot continue to

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: target citizens of the US and the President elect. He said,

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: quite simply, this has to stop.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: All right. Next up on the run, we head to DC,

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: where President Biden and President elect Trump will meet in

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: person this week. The two will meet in the Offal

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Office at eleven am Eastern time. It happens on Wednesday.

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: You remember Biden extended the customary invitation to Trump when

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: he called him to congratulate him on his election win.

46
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: However, Trump did not extend the same invitation back in

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, did not host Biden after that election. Again,

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: that went against something that's been a long practice here

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: in the United States. Trump spokesperson did say that Trump

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: is looking forward to this meeting. So it's good to see, frankly,

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: that things getting somewhat back to normal, at least customary,

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: as we say, going to continue. You are run now

53
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: with the President elect Trump. He continues going through a

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: pile of resumes at his home in mar A Lago,

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: trying to fill spots in his new administration. And we

56
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: just got a word of two more key appointments.

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: That's right. He is reportedly tapped Representative Elise Defhonic as

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: UN ambassador. The New York Republican has been a solid

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, arguably a lawyer. She even voted against certifying

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: some of Joe Biden's electoral votes in the twenty twenty election.

61
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: Also, Trump announced over the weekend that Tom Homan will

62
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: serve as his border zar. Homan is a former acting

63
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. In

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: making the announcement late yesterday, Trump said there was quote

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: nobody better at policing and controlling our borders than Holman.

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: And he also said he's going to be in charge

67
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: of and I quote deportation of all illegal aliens back

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: to their country of origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: no doubt he will do a fantastic and long awaited

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: for job. He says that part at the end there,

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: Trump about long awaited. He did nominate this guy back

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: in his first administration, but he never got a Senate

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: The governor got the Senate to act on it, so

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: he was never actually officially in the role. But as

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: a borders are it's not the same. He doesn't need

76
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Senate approval.

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so these are confirmed. If Trump wants to put

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: them there, that's exactly where they will be. All right.

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, we're going to head to Arizona,

80
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: which was the only state left to be called in

81
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the presidential election. Well, now it is official. Trump won,

82
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: and this puts the electoral college count at three twelve

83
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: for Trump, two twenty six for Harris.

84
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: So we won Arizona. It was the last state outstanding.

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: But this isn't necessarily consequential at this point, but it

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: is symbolic. With this win, Trump officially has swept all

87
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: seven of those battleground states we were talking so much

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: about before the election, including he's flipped back every state

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: that Biden won in twenty twenty.

90
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: And that is remarkable because in all the days and

91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: even weeks leading up to this election, we kept saying

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: that all those swing states were too close to call,

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: they were razor thin. Turns out none of that actually

94
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: was true. We're also waiting to see who will have

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the majority in the House of Representatives. That's still being decided.

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: About a dozen or so races are still outstanding, and

97
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: as of Sunday, Republicans still needed to win five or

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: so of those to retain their majority in the House.

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: They have already secured a Republican majority in the Senate.

100
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: And we'll continue with the election here on our run.

101
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: At least some ripple effects from it after the election.

102
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: Those effects have high dollar amounts attached to them. Tesla

103
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: hits a trillion, Bitcoin hits eighty thousand, Tesla stock had

104
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: a huge rally, pushing it back over the trillion dollar

105
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 2: mark is what we've been seeing since the election.

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: That's right. Investors believe, or at least they're betting that

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: Trump's return to president will be a positive for us

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: in Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, So it is once

109
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: again among seven companies in the S and P five

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: hundred to be valued at over a trillion dollars. It's

111
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: been more than two and a half years since Tesla

112
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: traded at that level.

113
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: It went up twenty eight percent since Trump was elected. Now,

114
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 2: another stock doing really well since Trump's re election has

115
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: been Bitcoin.

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hit another new record, posting above eighty thousand

117
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's been rising steadily in the days following

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Tuesday's election. It's up eighty percent for the year.

119
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Trump was once a bitcoin skeptic, but he has

120
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 2: been talking about it in recent months and has embraced it,

121
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: it seems, and he also has a financial stake in it.

122
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 2: So in August, Trump said that cryptocurrencies could define the

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: future and said he wanted mind minted and made in

124
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: the USA. Yeah.

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: I just checked. It's now above eighty two thousand as

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: of this recording, so it is still steadily rising.

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: All right, we'll stay with us here on this veteran's

128
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: day morning run. When we come back, we are grown folks,

129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: but this guy was so good he still has us

130
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: scared to say candy man in the mirror. We do

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: remember the man behind that.

132
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Meant welcome back everyone. Next up on our run, one

133
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: of our favorite horror movie villains has passed away. It

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: happened last week, but news broke over the weekend, and

135
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: we're such huge fans of his we wanted to pay

136
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: tribute to him. You know his face and his iconic,

137
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: larger than life stature, but you may not know his name.

138
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: His name is Tony Todd, and he has passed away

139
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: at the age of sixty nine. And this is the

140
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: guy to this day keeps us from saying candy man

141
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: in the mirror as adults. We still won't do it

142
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: because of how well he portrayed this character. But Tony

143
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: Todd's management company said it best that he was known

144
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: worldwide for his towering presence, but both physically and artistically,

145
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: Tony leaves behind an indelible legacy of film theater in

146
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing him.

147
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: We bid farewell to Tony Todd, a giant of cinema

148
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: and a beloved soul who's impact on our lives and

149
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: the world of film will never be forgotten.

150
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: It's so true. I mean Todd played the original that

151
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: was such a good movie nineteen ninety two, candy Man,

152
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: and then again in the remake back in twenty twenty one.

153
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: He was the urban legend killer who had a hook

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: on one arm, could be summoned, yes, by saying his

155
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: name five times in front of a mirror. To this day,

156
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I have never will never say it. Have you ever

157
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: said it?

158
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: I refused to whatever will the rest of my life never.

159
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that may sound silly, but why why temed fate?

160
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: No?

161
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: He and you see his face every time you think

162
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: about that movie. Oh my goodness, he did it so

163
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: well well.

164
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: Those who actually knew him personally say all this fear

165
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: the rest of us have about him, He's actually, in

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: real life was the opposite of that villain he say.

167
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: He was a cherished mentor and friend and a beacon

168
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: of kindness and wisdom. The way they put it. The

169
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: actor Yahyah, who played candy Man in the remake, he

170
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: was the main character we talked to him on the

171
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: air once grown man, who plays the character in the remake,

172
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: he still said he refused to do it on the

173
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: air with us. He would not say Candy Man, even

174
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: sitting there with us. It's it's wild how something like

175
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: that can have such an impact. Forty seven years old,

176
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 2: still his character, I refuse to do same.

177
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: And you know what, getting to actually learn a little

178
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: bit about Todd. We just knew him as Candy Man,

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: but he's a theater trained actor. He earned his master's

180
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: degree from Trudy, a repertory company. And I love what

181
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: he said. He said, I didn't get my master's degree

182
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: saying hey, I want to be a horror film star.

183
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: He just wanted to be a good actor. But he

184
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: said this, and this makes so much sense. Horror fans

185
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: are the most ferocious fan base there is. That allows

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of personal appearances and celebrating a genre

187
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: that sort of kicked to the side, but also passionately adored.

188
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: And certainly that's a good way to describe his career,

189
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: because he had a big career in horror films, not

190
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: just Candy Man, but he was also in Final Destination franchise,

191
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: Neither The Living Dead, The Crow Hatchet also one of

192
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: our favorite TV shows twenty four. He was in that

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: as well.

194
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: He had this booming voice. I was never able to

195
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: be around him. They say he was kind of a towering,

196
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: a tall guy, but he had this booming voice. And

197
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: he was in The Rock. Oh yeah, a horror move.

198
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: But he played one of the bad guys in the Rock,

199
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: alongside Sean Connery, alongside Ed Harris. But he was just

200
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: one of the soldiers. But he still stood out every

201
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: time he spoke. Yeah, he just had an incredible, incredible voice.

202
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: In sixty nine is young. It's so young.

203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: I know he was six five, but yes, he had

204
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a commanding presence. And we're going to watch candy Man today.

205
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: If we made the vleet traveled over the weekend on

206
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: the plane, we say when we get back.

207
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: We're watching candy Man. That is on the agenda today,

208
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: all right, next up on our run, we also want

209
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: to honor Judith Jamison, a legend and pioneer in the

210
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: world of dance. She has passed away. She became an

211
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: international star when she joined the famed Alvin Ailey Dance

212
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: Company back in nineteen sixty five and was a rare

213
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: sight in ballet. She was, of course a black dancer.

214
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, she danced with Ali for fifteen years before leaving

215
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: for other opportunities. But she returned to the dance company

216
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: as artistic director, a role she held for some twenty

217
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: years and is widely credited for guiding it through difficult

218
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: times and ultimately making it more successful and popular than ever.

219
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: She passed away here in New York afterwards, described as

220
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 2: a brief illness eighty one years old. Everyone it does.

221
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: You know Alvin Ailey. Everyone knows that name, and she

222
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: is credited in large part in recent years having it

223
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: stretching its popularity. And I don't know if you've ever

224
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: been to the Center here in New York, but you

225
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: walking in and just see these little kids, these little

226
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: black boys and girls, and not all black boys and girls,

227
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: but to see these little kids getting an opportunity and

228
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: being in there and bouncing around based on a legacy

229
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: that Alvin Alien and Judith Jamison put together, it is

230
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: a really special place to go in.

231
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, she certainly has left her market and will continue

232
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: on all right. Next up on our run, we're going

233
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: to head to South Carolina, where twenty five monkeys have

234
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: finally been recovered after more than forty of them escaped

235
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: from a research laboratory. We told you about this. It

236
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: happened in the town of Yamassei last week. Well as

237
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: of Saturday, just one had been found. I mean we

238
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: were keeping up on this, We were keeping tabs on this.

239
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: When you say you were doing it, okay, find it

240
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: was me.

241
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: You were doing the monkey count a weekend. Okay, they

242
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: tose on Saturday they just found one. I was kind

243
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: of rooting for the monkeys, so I was like, go guys.

244
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: But then I got word that a sizeable group twenty

245
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: four more or safely secured as well. For that total

246
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: of twenty five, vets have been examining all the monkeys

247
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: said they're in good health. Staff at the research laboratory

248
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: where the monkey's escaped they work through the weekend to

249
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: feed and keep an eye on the animals. We didn't

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: really understand this. They said they had eyes on them,

251
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: but they couldn't.

252
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: They can't catch them. So they said the monkeys have

253
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: been interacting with their companions inside the facility. I love

254
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: this visual, apparently jumping back and forth over the facilities

255
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: fence so they come say hi to their friends. Then

256
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: they just go back in the wild and enjoy themselves.

257
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: But offic she'll say that's a positive sign that they're

258
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: they're coming back and forth. But still, folks, eighteen monkeys

259
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: remain on the lamps.

260
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 2: We're room for them. Do you get in trouble, Like

261
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: if a monkey came to the door and you take

262
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: it in, are you in trouble? Yeah, you're not supposed

263
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: to see harboring a fugitive money probably, yes, Well, they

264
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: have told folks in the area that actually, don't do that.

265
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: You should not interact with these monkeys. But they say

266
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: there's no physical or health threat, but to lock your

267
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: doors and lock your windows. No threat, but lock your doors,

268
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: lock you windows, and call nine one one. But nothing

269
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: to worry out. They have said. Traps up around town

270
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: and officials are using thermal technology to try to track

271
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: down and get the rest of them. But there's just

272
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: some part this the stories. Well, it's all fun and

273
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: games until somebody gets hurt. Hopefully that's not the case,

274
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: including a monkey.

275
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: They claim they're small little gals who have are perfectly

276
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: healthy and haven't been tested yet, so they're friendly. But yes,

277
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: leave it to the officials to round them up.

278
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 2: I have that right, you just said, but there these

279
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: were all female monkeys.

280
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they're little girls too, Like they're small little things.

281
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why they're so hard to catch.

282
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: Are so well organized as well.

283
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: All right, next up on our run wickedly funny or

284
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: just downright wicked. It's unclear right now who's responsible for

285
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: a major marketing blunder at Mattel.

286
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: Okay, this is what happened, and I'm sure somebody there

287
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: is explaining, Well, what happened was Okay, the new Wicked

288
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: movies coming out. If obviously you know about this thing.

289
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: You've seen the promo that's been going on everywhere for months,

290
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: seems like even years. They've been promoting this movie. So

291
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: it's coming, but the Wicked dolls are going to come

292
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 2: along with it to promote the movie. So the dolls

293
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: have a problem. That's on the packaging, that's right.

294
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: So on the packaging there's a website listed that's supposed

295
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: to send you to the web page for the new

296
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: Wicked movie.

297
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, could go wrong, everything's fine.

298
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: But instead the URL printed on them takes you to

299
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: a pornographic website. The special edition dolls were created in

300
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: partnership with Universal pictures, and yes, it takes you to

301
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: a site that requires users to be eighteen years or

302
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: older to enter. Mattel was forced to release this statement.

303
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 2: Over the weekend. It says they were made aware of

304
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls,

305
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: which intended to direct consumers to the official wickedmovie dot

306
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: com landing page. We deeply regret this unfortunate error and

307
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: are taking immediate action to remedy this. Parents are advised

308
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for our children.

309
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: They're advising folks as well. If you you have this thing,

310
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: you need to throw the packaging out. Obviously you need

311
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: to do so. But can you explain I did read?

312
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to explain, we don't

313
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: need to give the other website. But how this could

314
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: possibly happen?

315
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't.

316
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, it's not a matter of just

317
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: a random so it's wickedmovie dot com. It is the

318
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: right one, and they just changed that a little bit,

319
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: and it ends up being if you leave something out

320
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: of that UURL, it then becomes something that goes to

321
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: this website. So it's not like some random person just

322
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: put some www dot xx. I don't know whatever.

323
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: Right, it was close, it was, it was close, very close.

324
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: And it looked if you look at it, it does

325
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: it looks innocent? Right? It doesn't look like it, especially

326
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: if you have it talking about the Wicked movie. But yeah,

327
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: one little mistake and a huge difference.

328
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is how they were alerted,

329
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: but I laughed. In one of the write ups I

330
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: saw it said that someone went to x and tweeted this, Hey, Mattel,

331
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: whoever's responsible for your marketing packaging for the new official

332
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: Wicked dolls have made a huge mistake.

333
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: That's tough for something like that mass produced. How many

334
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: eyeballs to look at this, to do something like that,

335
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: and we can't. We laugh about it here and it's

336
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: all funn and games and do your child. It's not

337
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: going on a website and see something that I'm supposed

338
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: to be seeing.

339
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Agreed, Agreed, all right for the final leg of our run.

340
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Beyonce one oh one. Beyonce has made the history books. Well,

341
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: she's made a Yale class titled Beyonce Makes History Black

342
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Radical Tradition, History, culture, theory and Politics through Music.

343
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the course description that will go along with

344
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: this new class. Beyonce's work is going to be put

345
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: under a lens. It's going to examine black intellectual thought

346
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: and activism. Students are going to analyze Beyonce's albums, performance, politics,

347
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: and concert films. It's going to be taught by a

348
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: writer in Black studies scholar who has planned this course

349
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: for years. It's going to be the first time she

350
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: is a devoted and entire lecture course to Beyonce's.

351
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Work, and this may be a first for Yale. But

352
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: I found this very interesting. Apparently Beyonce courses have been

353
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: a thing, or at least college courses for years now. Rutgers,

354
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: the University of Illinois at Chicago, Cornell, University of Texas

355
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: at San Antonio, California, Polytech State University in Arizona State

356
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: University all have had Beyonce themed classes.

357
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 2: Now, I've heard about these classes before, but I think

358
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: the only one that came to mind initially was Taylor Swift.

359
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: She's had or they have had Taylor Swift themed courses

360
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: at several universities, including Harvard, Florida, Berkeley. But I was

361
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: trying to think, I'm sure it's out there, but Taylor

362
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: Swift's was the first one that came to mind.

363
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they didn't have those kind of courses when I

364
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: went to university.

365
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: Anything I had.

366
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: Mine was like yeah, like history, like just basic history. Yeah,

367
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, political economy, Like I can't think of

368
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: anything that fun. But yes, by the way, also, we

369
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: should congratulate Beyonce eleven Grammy nominations, Taylor got six, but

370
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: a lot of folks in between. It seems like it's

371
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: going to be a really fun Grammy Award show this year.

372
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: And I'm aware. We are aware that Sabrina Carpenter was

373
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: nominated for Grammy because she told us. You happen to

374
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: be at a we'll get into that later. We happen

375
