<v Speaker 1>we honor you. Thank you for your sacrifice, and thank

<v Speaker 1>you all for running with us. And on this morning's run,

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>another assassination plot against the former President. Trump names a

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>new borderzar and UN ambassador, plus all fifty states have

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>now officially been called.

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Also on today's run, Republicans getting close to winning the House,

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 2>saying goodbye to the man us who made us scared

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>to say candy Man five times and twenty five down

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and eighteen monkeys to.

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Go, plus bitcoin sores Tesla worth a trillion a yell.

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Education now includes a course on Beyonce and wicked dolls

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 1>aren't supposed to be this wicked. We begin our run

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>this morning with another attempt on Donald Trump's life. Three

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>people have now been charged in Iran backed murder plots,

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>one of them specifically involving trying to assassinate President elect Trump.

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Now this is a murder for higher plot. Two people

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 2>have been arrested, but the third is believed to be

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.559
<v Speaker 2>in Tehran right now. Boj says the Islamic Revolutionary Guard

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Corps asked Farhud Shakri is the name to kill Trump

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 2>to avenge the twenty twenty death of the leader of

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Iran's elite force.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Shakerri told the FBI that when he was instructed to

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>assassinate Trump, he told the group it will cost a

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of money. Well, apparently the official from that group

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 1>said this, We already have spent a lot of money,

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>so money is not an issue, he said. He was

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>asked also to surveil two Jewish American citizens here in

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.919
<v Speaker 1>New York City and was offered half a million dollars

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to murder either of them.

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>US Attorney Damian Williams said that the charges against the

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>three are message to Iran that it cannot continue to

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 2>target citizens of the US and the President elect. He said,

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>quite simply, this has to stop.

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>All right. Next up on the run, we head to DC,

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>where President Biden and President elect Trump will meet in

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>person this week. The two will meet in the Offal

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Office at eleven am Eastern time. It happens on Wednesday.

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>You remember Biden extended the customary invitation to Trump when

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 1>he called him to congratulate him on his election win.

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>However, Trump did not extend the same invitation back in

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty, did not host Biden after that election. Again,

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>that went against something that's been a long practice here

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>in the United States. Trump spokesperson did say that Trump

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>is looking forward to this meeting. So it's good to see, frankly,

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 2>that things getting somewhat back to normal, at least customary,

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>as we say, going to continue. You are run now

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>with the President elect Trump. He continues going through a

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>pile of resumes at his home in mar A Lago,

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to fill spots in his new administration. And we

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>just got a word of two more key appointments.

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>That's right. He is reportedly tapped Representative Elise Defhonic as

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>UN ambassador. The New York Republican has been a solid

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:02.519
<v Speaker 1>Trump supporter, arguably a lawyer. She even voted against certifying

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>some of Joe Biden's electoral votes in the twenty twenty election.

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Also, Trump announced over the weekend that Tom Homan will

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>serve as his border zar. Homan is a former acting

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 2>director of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. In

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>making the announcement late yesterday, Trump said there was quote

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>nobody better at policing and controlling our borders than Holman.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>And he also said he's going to be in charge

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of and I quote deportation of all illegal aliens back

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>to their country of origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>no doubt he will do a fantastic and long awaited

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>for job. He says that part at the end there,

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Trump about long awaited. He did nominate this guy back

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>in his first administration, but he never got a Senate

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>The governor got the Senate to act on it, so

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>he was never actually officially in the role. But as

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 2>a borders are it's not the same. He doesn't need

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Senate approval.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so these are confirmed. If Trump wants to put

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>them there, that's exactly where they will be. All right.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Next up on our run, we're going to head to Arizona,

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>which was the only state left to be called in

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the presidential election. Well, now it is official. Trump won,

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and this puts the electoral college count at three twelve

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>for Trump, two twenty six for Harris.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>So we won Arizona. It was the last state outstanding.

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But this isn't necessarily consequential at this point, but it

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>is symbolic. With this win, Trump officially has swept all

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 2>seven of those battleground states we were talking so much

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 2>about before the election, including he's flipped back every state

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>that Biden won in twenty twenty.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>And that is remarkable because in all the days and

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>even weeks leading up to this election, we kept saying

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that all those swing states were too close to call,

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>they were razor thin. Turns out none of that actually

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>was true. We're also waiting to see who will have

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the majority in the House of Representatives. That's still being decided.

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>About a dozen or so races are still outstanding, and

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>as of Sunday, Republicans still needed to win five or

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so of those to retain their majority in the House.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>They have already secured a Republican majority in the Senate.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 2>And we'll continue with the election here on our run.

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>At least some ripple effects from it after the election.

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Those effects have high dollar amounts attached to them. Tesla

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 2>hits a trillion, Bitcoin hits eighty thousand, Tesla stock had

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>a huge rally, pushing it back over the trillion dollar

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.679
<v Speaker 2>mark is what we've been seeing since the election.

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Investors believe, or at least they're betting that

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump's return to president will be a positive for us

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.679
<v Speaker 1>in Elon Musk's electric vehicle company, So it is once

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>again among seven companies in the S and P five

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred to be valued at over a trillion dollars. It's

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>been more than two and a half years since Tesla

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 1>traded at that level.

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 2>It went up twenty eight percent since Trump was elected. Now,

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>another stock doing really well since Trump's re election has

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>been Bitcoin.

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it hit another new record, posting above eighty thousand

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday. It's been rising steadily in the days following

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday's election. It's up eighty percent for the year.

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Trump was once a bitcoin skeptic, but he has

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.679
<v Speaker 2>been talking about it in recent months and has embraced it,

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 2>it seems, and he also has a financial stake in it.

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.479
<v Speaker 2>So in August, Trump said that cryptocurrencies could define the

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 2>future and said he wanted mind minted and made in

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the USA. Yeah.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I just checked. It's now above eighty two thousand as

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of this recording, so it is still steadily rising.

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll stay with us here on this veteran's

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>day morning run. When we come back, we are grown folks,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>but this guy was so good he still has us

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 2>scared to say candy man in the mirror. We do

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 2>remember the man behind that.

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Meant welcome back everyone. Next up on our run, one

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of our favorite horror movie villains has passed away. It

0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>happened last week, but news broke over the weekend, and

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>we're such huge fans of his we wanted to pay

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>tribute to him. You know his face and his iconic,

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>larger than life stature, but you may not know his name.

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 2>His name is Tony Todd, and he has passed away

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>at the age of sixty nine. And this is the

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>guy to this day keeps us from saying candy man

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>in the mirror as adults. We still won't do it

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>because of how well he portrayed this character. But Tony

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Todd's management company said it best that he was known

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>worldwide for his towering presence, but both physically and artistically,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Tony leaves behind an indelible legacy of film theater in

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing him.

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 2>We bid farewell to Tony Todd, a giant of cinema

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and a beloved soul who's impact on our lives and

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the world of film will never be forgotten.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>It's so true. I mean Todd played the original that

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>was such a good movie nineteen ninety two, candy Man,

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and then again in the remake back in twenty twenty one.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>He was the urban legend killer who had a hook

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on one arm, could be summoned, yes, by saying his

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>name five times in front of a mirror. To this day,

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I have never will never say it. Have you ever

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>said it?

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I refused to whatever will the rest of my life never.

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that may sound silly, but why why temed fate?

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>He and you see his face every time you think

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 1>about that movie. Oh my goodness, he did it so

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.119
<v Speaker 1>well well.

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Those who actually knew him personally say all this fear

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the rest of us have about him, He's actually, in

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 2>real life was the opposite of that villain he say.

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 2>He was a cherished mentor and friend and a beacon

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of kindness and wisdom. The way they put it. The

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 2>actor Yahyah, who played candy Man in the remake, he

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 2>was the main character we talked to him on the

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 2>air once grown man, who plays the character in the remake,

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>he still said he refused to do it on the

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>air with us. He would not say Candy Man, even

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 2>sitting there with us. It's it's wild how something like

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>that can have such an impact. Forty seven years old,

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 2>still his character, I refuse to do same.

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, getting to actually learn a little

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>bit about Todd. We just knew him as Candy Man,

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>but he's a theater trained actor. He earned his master's

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 1>degree from Trudy, a repertory company. And I love what

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 1>he said. He said, I didn't get my master's degree

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>saying hey, I want to be a horror film star.

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>He just wanted to be a good actor. But he

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>said this, and this makes so much sense. Horror fans

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>are the most ferocious fan base there is. That allows

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of personal appearances and celebrating a genre

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that sort of kicked to the side, but also passionately adored.

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>And certainly that's a good way to describe his career,

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 1>because he had a big career in horror films, not

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>just Candy Man, but he was also in Final Destination franchise,

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Neither The Living Dead, The Crow Hatchet also one of

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>our favorite TV shows twenty four. He was in that

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>He had this booming voice. I was never able to

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 2>be around him. They say he was kind of a towering,

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 2>a tall guy, but he had this booming voice. And

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>he was in The Rock. Oh yeah, a horror move.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>But he played one of the bad guys in the Rock,

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 2>alongside Sean Connery, alongside Ed Harris. But he was just

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 2>one of the soldiers. But he still stood out every

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>time he spoke. Yeah, he just had an incredible, incredible voice.

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 2>In sixty nine is young. It's so young.

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I know he was six five, but yes, he had

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a commanding presence. And we're going to watch candy Man today.

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 2>If we made the vleet traveled over the weekend on

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the plane, we say when we get back.

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>We're watching candy Man. That is on the agenda today,

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>all right, next up on our run, we also want

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to honor Judith Jamison, a legend and pioneer in the

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>world of dance. She has passed away. She became an

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>international star when she joined the famed Alvin Ailey Dance

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Company back in nineteen sixty five and was a rare

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>sight in ballet. She was, of course a black dancer.

0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she danced with Ali for fifteen years before leaving

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 2>for other opportunities. But she returned to the dance company

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 2>as artistic director, a role she held for some twenty

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 2>years and is widely credited for guiding it through difficult

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 2>times and ultimately making it more successful and popular than ever.

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>She passed away here in New York afterwards, described as

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 2>a brief illness eighty one years old. Everyone it does.

0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 2>You know Alvin Ailey. Everyone knows that name, and she

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 2>is credited in large part in recent years having it

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>stretching its popularity. And I don't know if you've ever

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>been to the Center here in New York, but you

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 2>walking in and just see these little kids, these little

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>black boys and girls, and not all black boys and girls,

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.319
<v Speaker 2>but to see these little kids getting an opportunity and

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 2>being in there and bouncing around based on a legacy

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that Alvin Alien and Judith Jamison put together, it is

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 2>a really special place to go in.

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she certainly has left her market and will continue

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>on all right. Next up on our run, we're going

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>to head to South Carolina, where twenty five monkeys have

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.439
<v Speaker 1>finally been recovered after more than forty of them escaped

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 1>from a research laboratory. We told you about this. It

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>happened in the town of Yamassei last week. Well as

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of Saturday, just one had been found. I mean we

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>were keeping up on this, We were keeping tabs on this.

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>When you say you were doing it, okay, find it

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>was me.

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.559
<v Speaker 2>You were doing the monkey count a weekend. Okay, they

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 2>tose on Saturday they just found one. I was kind

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 2>of rooting for the monkeys, so I was like, go guys.

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>But then I got word that a sizeable group twenty

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>four more or safely secured as well. For that total

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 2>of twenty five, vets have been examining all the monkeys

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 2>said they're in good health. Staff at the research laboratory

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>where the monkey's escaped they work through the weekend to

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 2>feed and keep an eye on the animals. We didn't

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 2>really understand this. They said they had eyes on them,

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 2>but they couldn't.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.079
<v Speaker 1>They can't catch them. So they said the monkeys have

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>been interacting with their companions inside the facility. I love

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.079
<v Speaker 1>this visual, apparently jumping back and forth over the facilities

0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>fence so they come say hi to their friends. Then

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 1>they just go back in the wild and enjoy themselves.

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>But offic she'll say that's a positive sign that they're

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>they're coming back and forth. But still, folks, eighteen monkeys

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.079
<v Speaker 1>remain on the lamps.

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.599
<v Speaker 2>We're room for them. Do you get in trouble, Like

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:38.560
<v Speaker 2>if a monkey came to the door and you take

0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>it in, are you in trouble? Yeah, you're not supposed

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 2>to see harboring a fugitive money probably, yes, Well, they

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 2>have told folks in the area that actually, don't do that.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>You should not interact with these monkeys. But they say

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no physical or health threat, but to lock your

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>doors and lock your windows. No threat, but lock your doors,

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>lock you windows, and call nine one one. But nothing

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 2>to worry out. They have said. Traps up around town

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 2>and officials are using thermal technology to try to track

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 2>down and get the rest of them. But there's just

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.319
<v Speaker 2>some part this the stories. Well, it's all fun and

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>games until somebody gets hurt. Hopefully that's not the case,

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.079
<v Speaker 2>including a monkey.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>They claim they're small little gals who have are perfectly

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>healthy and haven't been tested yet, so they're friendly. But yes,

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>leave it to the officials to round them up.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.079
<v Speaker 2>I have that right, you just said, but there these

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>were all female monkeys.

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, they're little girls too, Like they're small little things.

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's why they're so hard to catch.

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Are so well organized as well.

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, next up on our run wickedly funny or

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 1>just downright wicked. It's unclear right now who's responsible for

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a major marketing blunder at Mattel.

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is what happened, and I'm sure somebody there

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>is explaining, Well, what happened was Okay, the new Wicked

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 2>movies coming out. If obviously you know about this thing.

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 2>You've seen the promo that's been going on everywhere for months,

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 2>seems like even years. They've been promoting this movie. So

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.839
<v Speaker 2>it's coming, but the Wicked dolls are going to come

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.479
<v Speaker 2>along with it to promote the movie. So the dolls

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 2>have a problem. That's on the packaging, that's right.

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So on the packaging there's a website listed that's supposed

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to send you to the web page for the new

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Wicked movie.

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, could go wrong, everything's fine.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>But instead the URL printed on them takes you to

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a pornographic website. The special edition dolls were created in

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 1>partnership with Universal pictures, and yes, it takes you to

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a site that requires users to be eighteen years or

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>older to enter. Mattel was forced to release this statement.

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Over the weekend. It says they were made aware of

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 2>a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls,

0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 2>which intended to direct consumers to the official wickedmovie dot

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>com landing page. We deeply regret this unfortunate error and

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 2>are taking immediate action to remedy this. Parents are advised

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for our children.

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 2>They're advising folks as well. If you you have this thing,

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you need to throw the packaging out. Obviously you need

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.720
<v Speaker 2>to do so. But can you explain I did read?

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you want to explain, we don't

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>need to give the other website. But how this could

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 2>possibly happen?

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh No, I don't.

0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Well, it's not a matter of just

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 2>a random so it's wickedmovie dot com. It is the

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 2>right one, and they just changed that a little bit,

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 2>and it ends up being if you leave something out

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 2>of that UURL, it then becomes something that goes to

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 2>this website. So it's not like some random person just

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 2>put some www dot xx. I don't know whatever.

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Right, it was close, it was, it was close, very close.

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 2>And it looked if you look at it, it does

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>it looks innocent? Right? It doesn't look like it, especially

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>if you have it talking about the Wicked movie. But yeah,

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>one little mistake and a huge difference.

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is how they were alerted,

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>but I laughed. In one of the write ups I

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>saw it said that someone went to x and tweeted this, Hey, Mattel,

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 1>whoever's responsible for your marketing packaging for the new official

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Wicked dolls have made a huge mistake.

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 2>That's tough for something like that mass produced. How many

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>eyeballs to look at this, to do something like that,

0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 2>and we can't. We laugh about it here and it's

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 2>all funn and games and do your child. It's not

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 2>going on a website and see something that I'm supposed

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:18.040
<v Speaker 2>to be seeing.

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Agreed, Agreed, all right for the final leg of our run.

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce one oh one. Beyonce has made the history books. Well,

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>she's made a Yale class titled Beyonce Makes History Black

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Radical Tradition, History, culture, theory and Politics through Music.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's the course description that will go along with

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 2>this new class. Beyonce's work is going to be put

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 2>under a lens. It's going to examine black intellectual thought

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and activism. Students are going to analyze Beyonce's albums, performance, politics,

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 2>and concert films. It's going to be taught by a

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>writer in Black studies scholar who has planned this course

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>for years. It's going to be the first time she

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>is a devoted and entire lecture course to Beyonce's.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Work, and this may be a first for Yale. But

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I found this very interesting. Apparently Beyonce courses have been

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a thing, or at least college courses for years now. Rutgers,

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 1>the University of Illinois at Chicago, Cornell, University of Texas

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.400
<v Speaker 1>at San Antonio, California, Polytech State University in Arizona State

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.360
<v Speaker 1>University all have had Beyonce themed classes.

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, I've heard about these classes before, but I think

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 2>the only one that came to mind initially was Taylor Swift.

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>She's had or they have had Taylor Swift themed courses

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 2>at several universities, including Harvard, Florida, Berkeley. But I was

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to think, I'm sure it's out there, but Taylor

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Swift's was the first one that came to mind.

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they didn't have those kind of courses when I

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>went to university.

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Anything I had.

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Mine was like yeah, like history, like just basic history. Yeah,

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean yeah, political economy, Like I can't think of

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>anything that fun. But yes, by the way, also, we

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 1>should congratulate Beyonce eleven Grammy nominations, Taylor got six, but

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of folks in between. It seems like it's

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>going to be a really fun Grammy Award show this year.

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm aware. We are aware that Sabrina Carpenter was

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>nominated for Grammy because she told us. You happen to

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.440
<v Speaker 2>be at a we'll get into that later. We happen

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>to be at a Sabrina Carpenter concert in which she announced

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.719
<v Speaker 2>to the crowd that she just gotten several Grammy nominations

0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>as well. So we'll get into that later. But congratulations
