1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: and welcome to this Monday Morning run. It is January

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: twenty sixth I'm Amy Roboch.

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ Holmes, and I guess so many of

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: us are in the same position this morning. A lot

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: of big people digging out, a lot of people freezing,

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people dealing with dangerous, dangerous Whether robes

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: of storm did what it said it was going to

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: do and it continues to do is going to be

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: a problem for quite a while.

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 3: That's right. And this, as you pointed out, was a

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: deadly storm.

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: At least a dozen deaths have been reported so far,

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: and those numbers are expected to continue to rise.

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: But man, it is cold outside.

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: I have been fascinated watching chunks of ice float by

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: our apartment in the Hudson. I haven't seen that in

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: a very long time.

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: And now I'm looking out there, I see another big

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: ship some I don't know what that is, but it's

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: just kind of ominous gray skies. It is slowly ship

22
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: going by and with ice all over the water. It

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: is a different scene here, but there are really some

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: fascinating beautiful in some instances but certainly some treacherous scenes

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: out there on the roadways. Really from Texas all the

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: way over to the Carolinas, we're seeing problem. Some places

27
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: got twenty plus inches of snow, thirty plus inches in

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: some areas, and some areas are getting forty below temperatures

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: in some parts of Minnesota in particular. The problem right

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: now Rope still continues to be as of this recording

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: power outages.

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my goodness, eight hundred thousand people in this

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: country without power. You found a very staggering statistic. Ten

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: percent of those power outages are concentrated in the states

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: of Tennessee and Mississippi. They got really hard hit with

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: those with that ice, which of course is devastating to

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: power lines. But we've got freezing rains still in the

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: South right now. And I think the official recording at

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Central Park was eleven point four inches of snow. That

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: was the most snow we've gotten in more than one

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: hundred years on that day. But we saw so much

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: of that snow turned to freezing rain. Imagine how much

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: higher those totals would have been had it stayed snow

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: the entire time in this city.

45
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: Well, some folks will tell you they prefer that snow,

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: because we ended up with sleet and that freezing rain

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: that was really pelting a lot of us in the face.

48
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: It felt like little needles were hitting you in the

49
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: face yesterday walking around the city. But that is the problem,

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: and that those layers were put down, So when are

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: they going to go away? Week and a half, maybe

52
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: we do not rise above at least in New York,

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: and certainly other places are the same. But Roes, we

54
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: don't get not even just don't get above freezing four

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: a week and a half, not even close, really.

56
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: Not close at all.

57
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: And that's we're not even talking windshells or feels like temperatures.

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about actual temperatures. It is Yeah, I just

59
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: see single digits and single digits. I think the warmest

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: we get is next Wednesday, where we hit a whopping

61
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: thirty degrees. But so far on the ten day, don't

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: see one temperature above freezing.

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: So that is certainly treacherous. Yeah, it's cold, but that

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: is dangerous coal and this is a storm that so

65
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: far has proven deadly. Unfortunately, you could probably expect to

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: see those numbers go up. Travel is a mess, virtually

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: impossible in many places. Yes, on the roads. You gotta

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: be careful out there, folks, but also anybody trying to

69
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: get somewhere. I think maybe at this point, Robe, you're

70
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: probably resigned to the fact I'm not going to be

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: able to fly. And cancelations have hit numbers we haven't

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: seen in many years.

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, since the pandemic. Actually, so Sunday eleven five hundred

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: flights canceled. That is the most since March of twenty twenty.

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: And today, of course is going to be tough trying

76
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: to get anywhere. Also, speaking of air travel, want to

77
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: let you know there was a plane that crashed around

78
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: eight o'clock last night in Maine and Bangor, Maine, and

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: as of this recording, we still do not have word

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: on the eight people who were on board. It happened

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: right after takeoff at Bangor Internationally Airport and they said

82
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: this was in the height of the storm, so they

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: haven't said whether it was a factor, but clearly that's

84
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: going to be looked into. But do you find that

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: odd that we don't have word on the people inside

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: that plane yet?

87
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you had family notifications to make possibly

88
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: you have and they might be maybe there are survivors,

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: there's a confusion, a mix up, and they say just

90
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: how awful it has been in the rescue efforts, given

91
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: that the temperatures are in the negatives there in Maine.

92
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: So they're trying to get that information out. We will

93
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: pass that along. But the other major story, Yes, the

94
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: weather is impacting everybody and roads. What we're seeing out

95
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: of Minneapolis is you could argue impacting everybody in this

96
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: country right now as well.

97
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely, DHS officials spent much of the weekend defending the

98
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: actions of federal agents who are involved in that horrific

99
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: weekend shooting killing ICU nurse VA nurse Alex Pretty.

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: The videos are everywhere.

101
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: We saw one initially and then more angles came and

102
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: despite what we all can see clearly on those videos,

103
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security is sticking to their story.

104
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: They say their agents were attacked by Pretty. They say

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: that Preddy wanted to massacre federal agents and approached with

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: a gun, when those videos clearly show him approaching with

107
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: a cell phone.

108
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: So it's okay, folks, you don't you're being told one

109
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: thing and your eyes are saying another, and you should

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: believe your eyes. And it's Okay, don't know how the

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: administration are going to come out and maybe explain further,

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: but they are sticking to the story right now. But

113
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: the story is not true. Alex Pretty did not approach

114
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: officers with a gun in his hand in any way

115
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: threatening them, And the evidence of that is not just

116
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: your eyes watching what Alex Pretty is doing, but watch

117
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: what all the officers are doing when he's approaching. Obviously

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: they're not reacting to a man who has a gun

119
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: out because they are calm as well. So just the

120
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: back and forth over these videos is getting a little

121
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: silly because because it's clear what Alex Pretty is doing,

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: also roles should be pointed out. Look, there are a

123
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: lot of people analyzing it or trying to figure out

124
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: whether or not he ever had a gun in his hand,

125
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: even if he had one on him, And the one

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: that is emerging now appears to show a federal agent

127
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: retrieving that gun and walking away from the scrum before

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: the shots were even fired.

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: Correct, and he was on the ground without his gun

130
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: according to those videos that we see when he was

131
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: shot ten times, we're being told ten times now in

132
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: the back.

133
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: So we are seeing a growing memorial there the protests

134
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: do continue. But also an update to give you that

135
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: a judge we did good word issued a restraining order

136
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: instructing the federal government to make sure they preserve all

137
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: evidence tied to this shooting. They are right now at

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: least DHS is in charge of investigating DHS and this shooting.

139
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: And so, yes, isn't it interesting they've already put out

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: a statement about what happened before they've even investigate it.

141
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 2: But keep an eye on Minneapolis today. That story is

142
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: on going. Meanwhile, another story here ines this is a

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: significant one. The NBA postponed Saturday's game in Minneapolis between

144
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves and Warriors as a precaution. I say this

145
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: is significant because robes when professional league get involved in

146
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: big I mean big social uprisings, if you will, they

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: can have an impact.

148
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, Now the game did finally go on on

149
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Sunday instead of Saturday, but the NBA players issued a

150
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: statement saying they could no longer remain silent.

151
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: Here was their statement. This was from the Players Association.

152
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: Now, more than ever, we must defend the right to

153
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: freedom of speech and stand in solidarity with the people

154
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: in Minnesota protesting and risking their lives to demand justice.

155
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: We refuse to let the flames of division threaten the

156
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: civil liberties that are meant to protect us all, and

157
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: that is significant.

158
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: We don't know what further action they could take, but

159
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: I guess a lot of people remember around George Floyd

160
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: talk of possible even protests refusing to play a lot

161
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: of them were wearing the T shirt. Again, it's just

162
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: a matter of they have a big platform and a

163
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: lot of people see them very visible. So if they

164
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: want to get involved, they could absolutely have an impact.

165
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: Another sporting note here, at least on a much different

166
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: sporting note, But the Super Bowl is set now the

167
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: Seahawks versus the Patriots, Seattle versus New England. This is

168
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: a rematch of Super Bowl twenty twenty five. That was

169
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: what eleven years ago.

170
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 3: Twenty fifteen, Yeah, twenty fifteen, so yeah.

171
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: So this would be a rematch and then of last year.

172
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: No it's not, this was from twenty fifteen, clearly, but

173
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: Seattle had a tough, snow covered victory over Denver ten

174
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: to seven, and then New England beat LA and it

175
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: kind of a shootout thirty one to twenty seven. But

176
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: the last time they played Robes was the big one

177
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: that it was controversial because Seattle chose to throw the

178
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: ball and there was an interception at the goal line

179
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: and they end up losing that game. But super Bowl

180
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: sixty February eighth at Levi Stadium out in Santa Clara, California,

181
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: all right.

182
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: A rematch is I guess on the menu. But you

183
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: know who won't be Trump. He has made a very

184
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: bold declaration that he will not be at the Super Bowl,

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: and his reasons were really interesting.

186
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: First he said it was just too far away. I

187
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: can relate to that, though, but really he was he

188
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: has Air Force one. I guess it's not as reliable

189
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: these days.

190
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: Damn bring that into it.

191
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: Sorry, I was just thinking maybe he was thinking, you

192
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: know what, I don't want to deal with this plane.

193
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: But no, I think that is weird. It's just it's

194
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: too far.

195
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta fly across the country for a game.

196
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: I have to fly back. I get exhausted sometimes flying.

197
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: This makes sense.

198
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: We're flying to the super Bowl, or at least leading

199
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: up to it.

200
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: It's different, though. He has a different workload than we do.

201
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but he did attend last year. We should point out. However,

202
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Look it might be too far. But he's also been

203
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: very outspoken about how he feels about the halftime show

204
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny. He said he is absolutely ridiculou. He said

205
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: he's anti them.

206
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: I believe.

207
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: He added to those comments and said that it was

208
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: a terrible choice. So yes, should be expected standing his

209
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: ground on multiple levels.

210
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: All right, I want to continue all the run this morning,

211
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: continuing with something else from President Trump. Another threat from

212
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: the President President issued via truth Social seems like a

213
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: lot of them come from there these days. But this

214
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 2: threat was directed once again to our neighbors to the north.

215
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: How can he be so upset with Canada? Right, but

216
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: the President said he is going to hit Canada with

217
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent tariff on all Canadian goods if

218
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: Canada goes through with a trade deal with China. It's

219
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,479
Speaker 1: a little unclear what he's specifically referencing.

220
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 2: Yes, some free trade deal if they go through free

221
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: but they're not even considering that's not even on the table.

222
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: But it's a very big threat. And this continues after

223
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: he asked them to draw on the board of peace

224
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: and then withdrew the invitation and invited them and then

225
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: what was the thing he kind of spanked Carnie in.

226
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: Canada lives because of the United States, and then Carney

227
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: said that Canada lives because of the spirit of Canadian people,

228
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: not because of the United States. So there's been a

229
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: war on words, and now Trump is threatening a financial repercussion.

230
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this

231
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: Mornday morning, Monday Morning Run. When we come back, we

232
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: are going to speak English a little more clearly. But

233
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: also coming up, would you believe folks, we are on

234
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: the clock again for another government shut down. We'll tell

235
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: you when that clock is going to run out. And

236
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: for the first time in nearly two months, Avatar not

237
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: number one at the box office.

238
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to this Monday Morning Run. And next

239
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: up on the run, we are on the clock once again,

240
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: if you can believe it, for another government shut down. Yes,

241
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: there is a January thirtieth deadline. That's Friday.

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: Correct, might wake up and shut down on Saturday morning,

243
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: yes Jesus.

244
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: All right.

245
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats are saying they are now not going to

246
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: support any additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security

247
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: unless reforms are put in place.

248
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: So this sets up the shutdown because they could possibly

249
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: miss the deadline to fully fund the government. However, this

250
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: won't be as severe as the last one because they've

251
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: already approved some funding, so there's a whole package has

252
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: already gone through. So this still would be a partial shutdown,

253
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: still would have an impact. It's important to note the

254
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: funding for the snap benefits, the food benefits, has already

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: been approved. That's already gone through. Yes, kind of nice

256
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: to know, so they might be more have more of

257
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: an incentive to say, to hell with it, that's shut

258
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: this baby down.

259
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: That's one way to look at it, because I was thinking, well,

260
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: on one hand, yes, the most vulnerable are not as

261
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: or not at risk the way they were the last

262
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: time around, but still this could be incredibly disruptive. The

263
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Department of Labor, the Department of Defense, the Department of Education.

264
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: I think all of those are potentially impacted. But I

265
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: guess a partial shutdown is better than a full shutdown.

266
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: Any shutdown is actually an embarrassment. It is your basic job.

267
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: It's like number one, right, Yeah, it's fund the government.

268
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: Isn't it. Sad?

269
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: The threshold now is so low for success because of

270
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: what we've just experienced.

271
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: Over the past several months.

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: That will take what we can get. But no, actually

273
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: we probably should demand more.

274
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: We're celebrating. Hey, it's only partial. Okay, that's sad, all right. Also, here, folks,

275
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: for the first time in six weeks Avatar three, also

276
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: known as Avatar Fire and Ash. I do believe it

277
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: is not number one at the box office, dethroned Robes

278
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: by the star of Jurassic World, but not a Jurassic movie.

279
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: I didn't see this one coming.

280
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: I didn't either, Mercy, Yeah, I hadn't even I haven't

281
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: even seen an advertisement for And look, this was a

282
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: tough weekend to have an opening period because of the weather.

283
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: Not a lot of us were going out. And we

284
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: love movies, but that couldn't even bring us out.

285
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: Of our apartment.

286
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: Theater is a seven minute walk, now, are at all?

287
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: And yet still we're like, yeah, I don't think so.

288
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: Part of that walk is indoors. We still walk.

289
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: We're like, nope, nope, nope, nope, yes, but Mercy, this

290
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: and this speaks to it. Look at this number, eleven

291
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: point two million domestically correct, that was enough to put

292
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: it in first place. That is an extremely low number,

293
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty two point eight million total, and it's tough. I

294
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: think about people who put so much effort and work

295
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: and money and hope and promotion behind these types of movies,

296
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: and then to have it land on a weekend where

297
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,479
Speaker 1: Mother Nature had other plans.

298
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: It's tough.

299
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: This is how it goes. It was only projected to

300
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: make twelve million, so even though it could have gone

301
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: a lot worse for them other headlines at Avatar, Yeah,

302
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: it came in number two. It doesn't matter how much

303
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: it made this weekend. What matters is it's at one

304
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: point three billion total. It tracking pretty far behind the

305
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: other Avatar movies. I think both of them spent at

306
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: least seven weeks at number one. This one ends at

307
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: five weeks at number one, so it's doing just fine.

308
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: Well. I was gonna say that's still pretty impressive, because

309
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I would think Avatar fatigue would be a real thing,

310
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: and to have a third iteration of a juggernaut of

311
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: a movie to still be number one for five weeks

312
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: in a row, that is impressive.

313
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: We should watch Avatar too.

314
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: At some point you probably keep saying we should, and

315
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: then we haven't.

316
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: But we do have no excuses with this weather.

317
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: We're seeing how we're not leaving the apartment again today

318
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: next probably.

319
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: Seven hours watching Avatar. Okay, look before we let you

320
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: go on this Monday, is something we'd like for you

321
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: to take with you. It is our quote of the day,

322
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: This one robes. It might be a two parter because

323
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: the first one might take him in and the quote

324
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: is quote. Circumstances often talk louder than opportunity. I say again,

325
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: circumstances often talk louder than opportunity. Now I say this one,

326
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: and it immediately made me think of another we often heart.

327
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: I think it was either a president or some event

328
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: who said this one, the one where people often miss

329
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: out on opportunity because it often is dressed in overalls

330
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: and looks like work.

331
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, can't remember who said that. Yes, I love that.

332
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: This goes in line with it. Circumstances often talk louder

333
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: than opportunity. We are so quick to say, well, yeah,

334
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: it's right there, but then I would have to do this,

335
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: so then I'd have to go here, and then I

336
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: have to We always can come up with these reasons,

337
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: these circumstances under around why something could be so difficult

338
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: and we missed the opportunity right there in front of us.

339
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: Haven't you know the simplest form. Have you ever offered

340
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: somebody a ride or or or a meal or something. Yes,

341
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: I'll give you a ride to the airport, and then

342
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: you say, yeah, but we need to leave a twelve

343
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: thirdy go ooh, I don't need to leave until twelve fifty.

344
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: I won't be ready. You giving them an operaportunity, but

345
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: then the circumstances they don't like, so then they end

346
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: up missing out on an opportunity. That's the thing we

347
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: often miss that I was trying. It's in as simplest form,

348
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: but it takes a little lection.

349
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: No, I appreciate that, and it's a different way to basically,

350
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: when you're making a decision, don't be so quick to

351
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: think about what isn't right, or what isn't perfect, or

352
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: what you'd rather have it be, but instead seize the opportunity.

353
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: They talk louder, and that's true. Right now, we got

354
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: an opportunity to the best opportunity in the world, but

355
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: we had to move to Paducah, Kentucky. No offense Paducah.

356
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: I'm just saying we have no connection there, first thing

357
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: out of our mouth. But damn we'd have to move

358
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 2: and then there's this and that, because those are circumstances,

359
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: and they talk louder than the opportunity. That's very true,

360
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: all right, So take that way through today, folks. We

361
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: always appreciate you running with us. Good luck today, Be careful,

362
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: be safe, Check on everybody. A lot of people are

363
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: struggling right now with the cold, and some folks robes

364
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: don't have heat right now and sitting in this cold.

365
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: We've got our brothers and sisters on the streets, some

366
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: of them. Homelessness is one thing. When it's seventy degrees

367
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: outside right now, this is downright dangerous.

368
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: No, it's so scary, and please everyone, yes, that's such

369
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: a good way to end this. Just to check on

370
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: the people you love, Check on your neighbors, check on

371
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: people you know. A lot of us know our neighborhood

372
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: folks who need a little extra help. And certainly there

373
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: are places out there, but people have to be sometimes

374
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: nudged in the right direction.

375
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: This is dangerous cold weather. We hope everybody stays safe.
