1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, welcome to the Morning Run on this Friday,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 2: November fifteenth. I'm TJ.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Holks and I'm Amy Robock on today's run. Another day,

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: another controversial pick by President elect Donald Trump, this time

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: RFK Junior, an anti vaccine activist whom Trump has now

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: chosen to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt Gates, might not

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: be avoiding that ethics investigation after all.

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: And Rudy Giuliani's lawyers want to quit because they say

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: their client is difficult.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Also this morning, businesses in George Floyd Square have sued

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: Minneapolis for thirty million dollars, claiming the city has essentially

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: taken their property.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: And Sandy Hook families get an unlikely partner who just

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: helped them take down the media empire of Alex Jones,

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: who owes them a billion dollars.

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Also this morning, one of the greatest skiers of all

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: time is coming out of retirement. Why Lindsey Vaughn is

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: back at it at the age of.

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: Forty And a bear that had been attacking luxury cars

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: has been caught and it was actually a human in

23
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: a bear suit, part of one of the crazier insurance

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: scams you'll ever hear.

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: And then there were eight those escaped monkeys. Continue their

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: game of catch me if you can with South Carolina authorities. Also,

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: we now know what happened to the employee who left

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: the monkey enclosure open. Here's a hint. She doesn't work

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: there anymore.

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Always appreciate our monkeys on the run update on our

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: morning run, So more on that in just a moment.

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: But we begin our run with more on Trump's new

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: cabinet and a feared but expected nomination happened late yesterday.

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: President elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Junior to

35
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: head the Department of Health and Human Services.

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: And this is what Donald Trump said about rfk Junior said,

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: He's going to quote play a big role in helping

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides,

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: overwhelming health crisis in this country.

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: Now. Kennedy has a long record of criticizing vaccines and

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: has spread misleading claims about their safety, including some of

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: those vaccines at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. He

44
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: also believes that food and drug companies are to blame

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: for a number of ailments, including autism, ADHD, sleep disorders, infertility, diabetes,

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: and obesity. In addition, Kennedy is urging removing fluoride from

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: drinking water.

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: All right, So the question is he confirmable the Republican majority. Yes,

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: the Republicans do have it in the Senate. So Trump

50
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: does enjoy that. But these Republicans aren't just jumping on

51
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: board and say they're going to just confirm him blindly,

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: unclear on some of his anti science stances. How these

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: issues are going to really sit with lawmakers. The news

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: did not sit well on Wall Street.

55
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: We know, no, that's right. It was almost an immediate

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: reaction shares of VACA scene makers like Maderna, Pfizer. We

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: know those companies' names well coming out of the COVID crisis.

58
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: But those companies and others fell pretty quickly as news

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: emerged of Trump's pick at the end of trading on Thursday.

60
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: Because we've heard Kennedy pledging to take some major steps

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: to reshape our public health guidelines. He says he would

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: immediately begin studying vaccines safety and efficacy. But he did

63
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: make this promise to Americans who are concerned that he

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: is not going to take vaccines away from anybody. But

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: a lot of potential big changes could be occurring in

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: our health protocol here in this country.

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: When we talk about the Surgeon General often when we

68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: were talking about the public's health. But the Health and

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: Human Services is the place. The CDC is under Health

70
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: and Human Services.

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: National Institutes of Health under.

72
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: Health and Human Services. This guy that a lot of

73
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: people are scratching their heads about some of his health stances,

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: is going to be if he is confirmed, be in

75
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: charge essentially of this country's health. What do you make

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: of that?

77
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: We are going to have some extremely interesting confirmation hearing

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: z G when they.

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Do come well. Next up on the Run on this Friday,

80
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: We're going to turn to one of Trump's other controversial

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: cabinet picks. Wallmakers want the findings of an ethics investigation

82
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: before they vote to confirm Trump's AG choice Matt Gates.

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Yes. The House Ethics Committee had been looking into allegations

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and obstruction, among other

85
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: things by Gates, and was expecting to soon be releasing

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: their findings. But Gates, as we told you, abruptly resigned

87
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: from Congress this week once Trump nominated him to be

88
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: Attorney General, and that effectively shut down the Ethics Committee's work.

89
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: However, senators who are going to be overseeing the confirmations

90
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: of Trump's nominees are insisting on getting their hands on

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: that report in all the details of the House Committee

92
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: work on Gates. Judiciary Chair Democratic Senator Dick Durbin sent

93
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: a letter to the House Committee requesting that the House

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: committ hand over everything.

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that House Committee was reportedly scheduled to hold a

96
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: closed door meeting today where they were expected to address

97
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: what they were going to do with that report on Gates,

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: but that meeting has been canceled. So it's unclear how

99
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: this will proceed.

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: Well, it's up in the air because this is essentially

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: a jurisdictional matter. The House Ethics Committee only has jurisdiction

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: over members of the House of Representatives. He's no longer

103
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: a member. They don't have any authority or any any

104
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 2: jurisdiction over him in this case. Now, So what happens

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: to the report should it see the light of day?

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Information could be very important in making decisions, so I

107
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: can understand why many in the Senate would like to

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: see that report before deciding whether or not to confirm Gates.

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense to me, but we will

110
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: see what happens next up on our run. Rudy Giuliani

111
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: is apparently a difficult client, so much so that his

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: attorneys have now asked a judge to let them out

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: of representing him. The attorneys who've been defending the former

114
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: New York City mayor in a lawsuit related to the

115
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: defamation judgment against him have now formally and officially asked

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: a judge for permission to dump him as their client.

117
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: It's not us, it's you. The exact reason wasn't given,

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: but in their filing they cited legal code that allows

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: them to withdraw from the case if the client fails

120
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: to cooperate in the representation or otherwise renders the representation

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: unreasonably difficult for the lawyer.

122
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Wow, a spokesperson for Juliani suggested the former mayor didn't

123
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: even get a heads up that his lawyers were seeking

124
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: to quit. This came just days before a new deadline

125
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: for Juliani to turn over his personal property in order

126
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: to pay down some of that one hundred and forty

127
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: eight million dollars that he owes in his defamation judgment

128
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: that was rendered against him for defaming two Georgia election workers.

129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: He has certainly been playing a game of cat and

130
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: mouse in terms of where those items may or may

131
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: not be. And finally he has a deadline or he

132
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: faces contempt of court.

133
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: And that deadline is is it not? Who is it?

134
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: Today's today?

135
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

136
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see what happens there. But we don't know

137
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: if there's going to be a ruling on whether or

138
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: not his attorneys are allowed to step away from the case.

139
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: If they do, is it possible that we'll delay.

140
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: That's what I was just thinking. It could delay him

141
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: having to hand over. There's been a lot of delays

142
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: in this case and a lot of finger pointing.

143
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Update on Monday for you on the Morning Ron. But

144
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: next up on this Friday run, we're going to head

145
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: to Minneapolis, specifically George Floyd Square. Several businesses in that

146
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: immediate area where Floyd was killed have sued the city

147
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: and are demanding thirty million dollars in compensation.

148
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: The suit is being brought by several businesses, including Cup Foods.

149
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: That may sound familiar to you because of course that

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: was the store that George Floyd went into before he

151
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. The businesses say

152
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: that the city put up barricades throughout the area, which

153
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: restricted their ability to make money. And beyond that, they

154
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: say the city failed to do anything about the crime

155
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: and the deterioration that happened in that area after Floyd's death.

156
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: So put all that together and they say this constitutes

157
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: an unlawful seizing of their property. Essentially imminent domain is

158
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: what we're talking. So the area at thirty eighth and

159
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis again now known as George Floyd Square,

160
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: has been a memorial since Floyd's death, and it's kind

161
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: of a mecca for social activists, but it has been

162
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: I've been to that area and a lot of folks

163
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: there's a deterioration, we can't make money. There's a time

164
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: where it sounded like a good idea to have police

165
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: no go zones. They were saying, hey, we're not going

166
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: to overpolice you by sending police in here. Well, what

167
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: happens when you don't have police? Then crime went up.

168
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: This is what they're arguing, So don't I've never seen

169
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: an imminent domain argument like this. We still have our property,

170
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: but you essentially took it with your.

171
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: Neglect, right with your neglect. Because they said that limited

172
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: police response and there were these barricaded areas where their

173
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: businesses were. They said, yeah that They actually said the city,

174
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: by doing so, allowed crime to overrun that barricaded area,

175
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: which then forced their businesses to suffer severe they said,

176
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: physical and economic consequences. So this will be an interesting lawsuit.

177
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: And next up on the run. Now, I'm going to

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: turn to Alex Jones, the man who called the Sandy

179
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: Hook shootings a hoax and lost the defamation and emotional

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: distress lawsuits brought by Sandy Hook families, will finally be

181
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: forced to pay up on some of that one billion

182
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: dollars he owes them.

183
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: The Onion, which is a satirical satirical publication, has purchased

184
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: Alex Jones's Info Wars at a bankruptcy auction for an

185
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: undisclosed price. But the Sandy Hook families knew about this.

186
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: They were in cahoots basically with the Onion, and they

187
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: backed that sale.

188
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I say This is now putting an end

189
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: to the misinformation machine that Jones used to defegn the

190
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: families and victims for years. Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy

191
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two after losing the family's lawsuit, and

192
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: it was a bankruptcy court that allowed the Sandy Hook

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: families to receive payments from Jones following this sale. Statement

194
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: from the families also said that the purchase includes info

195
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: Wars intellectual property, it's website, customer lists, social media accounts,

196
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: and production equipment.

197
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: So what will the Onion do with info Wars now

198
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: that it owns all of the above, Well, the CEO says,

199
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: i'll quote him here, we are planning on making it

200
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the

201
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: services of some Onion and ClickHole Hall of famers to

202
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: pull this all off. I can't wait to show you

203
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: what we've cooked up. What's even more apropos the Onion

204
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: says its exclusive launch advertiser is the gun violence prevention

205
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: organization called every Town for Gun Safety. So you know,

206
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: this is a tough story, but it does have an

207
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: ending that I think finally maybe brings some sort of

208
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: peace and an end to all of that painful misinformation

209
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: that the Sandy Hook families should not have to continue suffering.

210
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this

211
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 2: Friday morning run. When we come back, a legend returns

212
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: to the slopes, monkeys are still on the loose, and

213
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: an insurance scheme. You just will not believe you stay

214
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: hear well, Next up on our Friday morning run, we

215
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: head into the slopes. What a comeback story. Former Olympic

216
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: gold medalist forty year old Lindsey Bond has just announced

217
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: she is coming.

218
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Out of retirement five years after retiring from competitive skiing.

219
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: The three time Olympic medalist, four time World Cup champion

220
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: said that her knee replacement surgery she had seven months

221
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: ago will it's changed her life. Von says she is

222
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: now able to return to the slopes completely pain free,

223
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: and so she is officially as of today rejoining the

224
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: US ski team and her focus is going to be

225
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: on the super g and the downhill.

226
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: Okay, this is really incredible exciting news for a lot

227
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: of us who are big Olympic watchers. But she said

228
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: again this was not something she had planned, this knee surgery.

229
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: I've heard people I've like hip replacements and knee.

230
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: Replacements like miracles.

231
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: Like miracles, people feel like they've got so many years back.

232
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: But she is hoping to compete possibly the twenty sixteen

233
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: Winter Olympics in Italy if all goes well in this comeback.

234
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: But this is great. She's one of my absolute favorite Olympians.

235
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: But she just has a great personality. She's just cool.

236
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: Jesus cool. I like min Well.

237
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think. I mean, I knew she

238
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: was a storied record holder, but I didn't realize just

239
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: how how storied she was until I started to look

240
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: at it her. She set a record with eighty two

241
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: World Cup victories in all five alpine disciplines. Her record

242
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: has since been broken by MICHAELA. Schiffrin, who we've heard

243
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: so much about in the Olympics, but her forty three

244
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: World Cup wins in the downhill and twenty eight wins

245
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: in the super g are the most by any skier

246
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: in history, man or woman. So it's so cool. I

247
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: love these stories too. Like she's forty years old, She's

248
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: still got it. I can't wait to see what she

249
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: does next.

250
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: Isn't it crazy how we're saying forty is she coming

251
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: out of retire at forty forty four? Forty seems so young?

252
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Well, yes, now it does, the baby right, I know.

253
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: I remember when people used to say that to me

254
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: when I was forty and I thought stop, And now

255
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people. Yes, all right, so monkeys, Yeah,

256
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: next up on our run. They're still on the run.

257
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: Eight remain on the loose in South Carolina. That means

258
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: authorities were able to capture three more of the little

259
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: gals from yesterday, continuing their trend of a slow but

260
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: steady recovery. That brings the total now to thirty five

261
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: monkeys recovered of the original forty three that escaped last week.

262
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: And we are still rooting for these last eight. And

263
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: we would aid in a bet if we had a

264
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: chance to. But the research laboratory they escape from says

265
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: they are continuing their efforts to safely recover the remaining eight.

266
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: They also continue as residents to avoid the area around

267
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: the lab to lock their windows and doors called nine

268
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 2: one one if you see any of these monkeys. And

269
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: we do have now an update. You and I Robes

270
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: were talking about this. What happened to that employee, the

271
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: one that they said left that enclosure open.

272
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that new employee right, Well, the lab CEO says

273
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: that she, so we know it's a female, left that

274
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: day and never came back. He said. The employee supervisor

275
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: told her, you know what, you could be fired if

276
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: we find out that there was no structural failure. Well,

277
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: it turns out there was no structural failure. In fact,

278
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: it was a brand new enclosure that was working just fine.

279
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: And so upon hearing that news, according to the lab,

280
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: the employee said, well, walked off the job and never

281
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: came back. She's seen some Yeah, she hasn't been seen since.

282
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: I guess she was just making their job a little easier.

283
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: They just didn't have to fire her at that point,

284
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: the research said. This is interesting. The research lab says

285
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: it does not plan on publicly releasing that employee.

286
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: Why it's me. I'm sure she feels bad enough and

287
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: it's embarrassing as well. No harm has necessarily come at this.

288
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: Point, but a lot of cost has to the MS

289
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: Police Department. I mean, I wonder you know there. I'm

290
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: sure finds are most likely going to be imposed upon

291
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: that research lab. It's not the first time they will

292
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: face them, but certainly a lot of resources have been

293
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: redirected to that lab and finding those monkeys.

294
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: And what was it? I think they said there was

295
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: weather or some rain in the area that actually hampered

296
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: their efforts yesterday. So they're going to get back at it.

297
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: But I've seen some of the video. They have this

298
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: that infrared video and you can see the little monkey.

299
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: So they do they see them, Yeah, but they can't

300
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: catch it.

301
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,479
Speaker 1: They're quick, little girls, quick.

302
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: Go girls go. And it's the final leg of our

303
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: Friday Run. Police. I've arrested for people in California for

304
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: insurance fraud. Okay, that sounded like a boring story. Why

305
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: did that make the cut today in the Morning Run. Well,

306
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: you need to hear how they're being accused of scamming

307
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: the system.

308
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the suspects told they're insurance company. Hey, a

309
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: bear got into our twenty ten rolls Royce Ghost and

310
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: damaged the interior of the luxury car. There are claw marks,

311
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: it seems like on the leather interior.

312
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: It's really scared.

313
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, they even have garage surveillance video

314
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: to show what happened to their car. So the insurance

315
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: investigators took a closer look at the video yeah, we'll

316
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: take that. But then it just seemed a little odd.

317
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: It didn't quite look like an actual bear, and it

318
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: looked like it could be a man, maybe even in

319
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: a bear costume.

320
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: Obviously not it had to be a real bear. But

321
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: investigators they wanted to look into this, and they found

322
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: two more insurance claims with two different companies from the

323
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: same guys on the same date and the same location.

324
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: You get this, All these insurance claims came on the

325
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: same date, same spot. Okay, so each claim involved two

326
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: other vehicles at twenty fifteen Mercedes G sixty three and

327
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two Mercedes E three fifty. Nice cars.

328
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: There are videos that go along with those claimed as

329
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: well that show, yes, a bear is out there attacking

330
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: luxury vehicles. Yeah, buck, he.

331
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: Has discerning taste for sure. State investigators found a way

332
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: to clear up this confusion pretty quickly. They said, hey,

333
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: let's go get a biologist from the California Department at

334
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: Fish and Wildlife to review these bear videos, and that

335
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: biologist determined pretty quickly it was quote clearly a human

336
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: in a bear suit. The department said the movements of

337
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: the supposed bear were not convincing and they added that

338
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: the suit appeared to be ill fitted.

339
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: Oh stop, what is this? What can this biologists tell

340
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: from some grainy garage video. So detectives then got a

341
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: search one and they went to the suspects home. You

342
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: know what they found. They found the big old bear suit. Okay,

343
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: so my bad. The insurance companies lost. Now this sounds ridiculous,

344
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: like how could anybody go for this? And you don't

345
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: need a biologist if you look at this video, you

346
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: can look at the video hilarious. It is actually hilarious.

347
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: It looks like a cheap bearsuit. Yeah, it's not really

348
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: one of the nicer ones. But the scheme worked. The

349
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: insurance companies paid out one hundred and forty thousand dollars

350
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: in the scam before they were actually caught. Now all

351
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: four of the guys have been charged with insurance fraud

352
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: and conspiracy. It is wild that links people will go through.

353
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it worked until it didn't. You know, they

354
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: got greedy. If they had just stuck to the one car,

355
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: maybe maybe, maybe they could have gotten by. But it's

356
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: it's unthinkable to think that a bear. The same day

357
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: shows three luxury vehicles, all owned by the same four people. Yeah,

358
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: and maybe get rid of the bear costume, although they

359
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: were probably planning some more attacks.

360
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: All right, well, folks, on this Friday, as you're going
