We'll give you their nine word 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:52.159 update about the Pope's health. 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.800 Also, the crash was avoided, but the scene was still horrifying. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.120 A Southwest plain has to make a last second maneuver 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.400 to avoid t bow owning another plane. The entire scene 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:03.400 was captured on camera. 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.000 Plus, a woman really thought she could fraudulently sell the 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:11.959 most famous residents in Memphis and nobody would notice, apparently, 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.360 so and now she's about to do a little jail house. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.800 Rock ah, like what you did with that first waffle house. 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:22.119 Now Denny's, but never McDonald's. Mickeydees makes a promise we 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.840 will never put a surcharge on your eggs. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.480 So some good egg news there, finally, but we do 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.120 begin our run on this very busy Wednesday in Washington 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:36.480 and presidents so called the President's so called big beautiful Bill. Well, 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.880 it took a major and necessary step towards reality yesterday. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.280 The House approved the massive spending bill, which reflects the 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.800 president's domestic policy agenda. It barely got over the finish 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.960 line though the vote was two seventeen to two fifteen. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.280 All Democrats voted against it. All Republicans voted for it, 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.000 except for one, Thomas Massey of Kentucky. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.640 Yeah, he was the holdout. He's just he's they called 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.240 him a hawk when it comes to spending, and he 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.960 just thought it was too much spending in it, so 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.359 he held out against it. Still, they got it across the 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.560 finish line. But President Trump had insisted on one massive 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:17.079 bill to address everything, immigration, border security, energy taxes. Some Republicans, though, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.560 believe the best strategy and the best chance for success, 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.320 would be to split his agenda up into smaller, bite 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:28.079 sized bills. But in praise of this bill's passage yesterday, 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.720 President wrote on social media that the bill implements my 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.520 full America First Agenda, everything, not just parts of it. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.760 This bill included two trillion dollars in spending cuts and 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.440 four point five trillion in tax cuts, including extending those 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.480 tax cuts enacted during Trump's first term. Now, despite its passage, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.240 its future is not assured, as Republicans in the House 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.840 and Senate will now need to resolve their budget differences 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.480 and ultimately come up with a compromise that can get 0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.280 passed and that the President will sign. But you we 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.280 mentioned at the top, it was a chaotic scene there 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.600 on the House floor because. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.200 They didn't have the votes. It was scheduled to vote 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.600 on it last night, but then they didn't have the votes, 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.400 so they skipped the voting. The members were leaving walking 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.240 out of the Capitol, they started getting alerts and messages 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.600 and texts and notifications that hey, the vote is back on. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.120 So they came back in to vote in this chaotic scene, 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.080 and you mentioned at the top there was a newborn 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.880 baby there. This is just to kind of emphasize how 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.600 important this vote was. There was a Congresswoman, Brittany Peterson, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.440 a Democrat of Colorado. She has been on maternity leave. 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.240 She came back with her one month old Sam to 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:42.120 DC by herself to vote. Now, it didn't go the 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.360 way Democrats want it, but it just shows how critical 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.760 every single vote was. That she came back with her 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:49.560 baby to vote. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:50.600 Wow, she should use that. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.400 If there's some video of that, right there is, she 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.000 should use that in her next re election campaign. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.000 It's already up on her website. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.680 I'm sure. I'm sure that was used to her advance. Hey, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.600 and rightly so they have to vote in person. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.720 Another guy has knee surgery, he's been out. He showed 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.000 up as well to vote. That just emphasizes how important 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.160 of a vote it was last night. We can tell 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.600 you on the run though. On this Wednesday, with the 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.440 Trump administration threatening illegal immigrants in this country with jail 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.480 time and find if they don't sign up for a 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.640 government registry, Apartment of Homeland Security announced yesterday that immigrants 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.560 over the age of thirteen who are in this country 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:31.839 unlawfully must join the registry by filling out an online form. 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.040 The administration is actually enforcing a law, they say, that 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.279 has been previously ignored by democratic and Republican administrations. It 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:44.159 encourages people to self deport. A Homeland Security spokesperson said 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.400 they are sending a clear message to those who are 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.599 in our country illegally. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:48.800 I'm going to quote her. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.200 Now, if you leave now, you may have the opportunity 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.520 to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.000 So those who register will receive a registration document that 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.240 adults must care and keeping their possession at all times. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.080 Trump's plan relies on a World War Two era law 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.200 that created an immigration registry that was initially designed to 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.120 identify suspected communists. The new policy would not apply to 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.960 immigrants who are legal permanent residents or immigrants who are 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.200 granted visas even if they have overstayed them, as well 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.400 as immigrants with government work permits. Curious to see how 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.680 this is going to work. You're telling folks who are 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.599 in the shadows to come out of the shadows so 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:28.720 we can kick you out of the country. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.440 It doesn't make any sense. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.560 That if you were here illegally and know you're here illegally, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.280 why you would then raise your hand and say, hey, 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.560 let me put this in writing, I'm here illegally. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.359 But does it give a pathway? People always say a 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.800 pathway to citizenship, and part of the path is you 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.320 got to leave, correct. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.720 So that is the hope that they're encouraging folks to 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.280 leave now to come back later. But we'll see if 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.800 that actually ends up being something that immigrants sign up for. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.119 All right. Next up on our run. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.440 In a move that has steam coming out of journalists' ears, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.159 President Trump says he will decide who gets to cover him. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.360 The White House announced that the Press Office would now 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:08.720 pick and choose which outlets get access to the president. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:12.520 So that power has rested with the White House Correspondence Association. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.120 This group spreads the wealth, if you will, among news 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.160 outlets and decides who's a part of the press pool. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.839 It's been that way since the old forever until now, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.000 and the White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt yesterday said this. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.960 She said, moving forward, the White House press pool will 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.400 be determined by the White House Press Team. A select 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.480 group of DC based journalists should no longer have a 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.800 monopoly of press access at the White House. A rep 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.200 for the White House Correspondence Association pushback and accuse the 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.440 President of choosing his own press corps, which is kind 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:47.880 of exactly what he's doing. You know. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.880 The idea of them opening up the press room to 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.920 different types of journalists, more podcasters, more people who write online, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:55.120 and I've influence. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:55.920 That was interesting. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.000 I think that was interesting and good idea. This is 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.560 going to look he's shaking things up. So many things 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.720 we do we do because it's just it's always been 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:08.240 that way. Okay, fine, mix it up. I think him 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.760 being the messenger is the problem for a lot of people, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.240 giving his relationship with the press, and it seems like 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.640 he has decided you're a hand picking who gets to 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.800 cover you, so you're almost hand picking how you're going 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:20.800 to be covered. 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.040 Correct, is the question? Correct? 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.640 The problem is, though, as we found out, we'll see 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.760 how this all works out, but when you don't allow 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.640 access to folks who have wide and large worldwide audiences, 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.520 they're going to write and report things anyway. 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.280 So I would think you would want. 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.880 To have exactly what you said and have access to 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.760 question what you said from those folks. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.320 He doesn't want anybody in there who won't call it 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.880 Gulf of America. That continues right score the ape suit. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.000 He's kicked them out of a lot of events because 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.480 they won't start using Golf of America like he wants. 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.960 So this is you got four years of this. 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.600 This is just the beginning, is what I was about 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.280 to say. All right, Next up on the jos On 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.880 we are going to turn to Rome, where we received 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:06.800 a nine word update from the Vatican today. The Pope 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.320 had a tranquil night and is resting. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.400 Okay, you want to try with any tea leaves here 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.160 because they give us a few words every day and 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.120 then the whole world tries to decipher which it means. 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.320 The Pope has been in critical condition now for a 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.320 number of days we mentioned here, but had been in 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:26.960 stable condition. He's thirteenth day now in the hospital. Yes, 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.400 the longest day of his papacy is his fourth consecutive day, 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.560 just mentioning there in critical condition. The Vatican went into 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.920 a little more detail last night with an update saying 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.760 there have been no acute respiratory episodes and that the 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.400 Pope went under a scheduled CT scam. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.080 They added that his prognosis remains uncertain or guarded, dependent 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.480 on who translated the Italian, but that also is ambiguous. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.920 The eighty eight year old Pontiff resumed some light work, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.839 the Vaticans said on Tuesday. He did that as well 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.760 on Monday from his hospital room. And of course hundreds 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.640 continue to gather nightly. It's cold, it was, it's been 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.480 rainy in Rome, and sure enough every night folks come 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.480 out to Saint Peter Square to pray for the pope's recovery. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.240 And we will continue to give you the very small 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.439 incremental updates that we get from the Vatican twice a 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.120 day typically. 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.120 Okay, is it fair to say, last couple of days, 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.719 the last two updates, there hasn't been anything negative in him. 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.959 There hasn't been a downturn. At nine. There was one 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.000 that even said a slight improvement, and this one is 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.199 just he slept and he rested, so that I mean, 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.520 I don't know, Tea Leaves, I'm trying to reason. Dan 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:31.880 t Lee. 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:33.880 Yeah, I mean, I guess it's just good that it's 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:37.079 not getting he's not getting worse. His condition isn't worsening. 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.080 But who knows how long you should be concerned once 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.760 the fact that he hasn't gotten out of hospital now 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.040 it's almost been two weeks. That's alarming for an eighty 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:47.560 eight year old. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.120 All right, well, well stay with us here on this 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.360 Wednesday morning run. When we come back, a horrific scene 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:57.360 that could have been even more horrific. A Southwest plain 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:02.079 almost t bones another jet on the runway. How did 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.360 this happen? We will get into that. Also, a woman 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.720 tried to sell Elvis Presley's house. Her name an Presley. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:14.680 Also McDonald's with some good news when it comes to eggs. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:26.280 Stay here, all right, folks, let's continue on this Wednesday 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.200 morning run. And this is a story that deserves video 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.600 to go along with the description we're about to give you, 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.439 But we're gonna do our best. They tell you what 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.400 happened to Chicago's Midway Airport yesterday. A Southwest Airlines plate 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.880 had to abort its landing to avoid colliding with another 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.360 plane that was crossing the runway. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.800 Yeah, the entire incident, as we mentioned, was caught on 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.160 airport video, and you can see the Southwest plane coming 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.000 in for what looks like a routine landing. Its wheels 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.360 were just about to touch the ground when suddenly it 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.680 pulls up and over a private jet that was crossing 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.480 directly in its path on its runway. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:09.040 Okay, now, when you see the video, everything robes just describe. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.160 You can see it on video, but as you're watching it, 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:16.480 you don't actually realize how much of an emergency and 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.200 critical situation it is. Because the plane is coming in beautifully, 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.440 it looks like it's landing like it's supposed to, and 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.400 then it takes off again. It actually looks innocuous. But 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.840 when you hear the details and you see that other 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.120 plane right in its path, if that Southwest jet had 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.880 continued landing on that runway, it looks like it would 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:38.920 have absolutely t boned that other plane. That Southwest jet 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.560 was coming from Omaha. It had to do a go around. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.680 They performed a go around maneuvers what they call it. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.240 But it eventually landed safely just about ten minutes late. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:50.920 The FAA said, the private jet entered that runway without authorization. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.000 Roads these are now we have to be careful here. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.680 There are so many incidents. Oftentimes you tell them, but 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.320 it seems like you're amplifying in it and making things 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.480 seem worse than they are but there have been a 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.800 number of incidents of concern. 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.960 Yeah, I mean just in the last few months. 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.800 Of course, we had the deadly crash over the Potomac 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.800 with the mid air collision, we had the incident in Toronto. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.840 I mean, this is it seems. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.360 It's a little frightening to think that these are all 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.439 happening in succession. Hopefully people are paying more attention. Now. 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.600 That was the thing we talked with so much about 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:29.120 FA and the air traffic controllers. This the audio was there. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.080 There's no other way to say this. There was a 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.400 miscommunication and the pilot of that small jet did not 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.800 follow instructions. He was told clearly, plainly, do not cross, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.760 and he crossed. And after he did later on that 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.440 you can hear air traffic controller upset, like your instructions 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.720 were to stop at this plane. At this point, the 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.360 Southwest guy who's circling, he got up in the air 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.560 and later said, hey, so how'd that happen? He said 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.520 it very calmly, Yes, how that happened. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.200 Can you imagine he thank goodness for that pilot in 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:04.679 his skills because he saved many many lives. All right, 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.880 next up on the run, we're gonna head to Memphis 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.520 where a woman is heading to jail for fraudently trying 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.600 to sell a house that wasn't even hers. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.240 In that house, well. 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.360 It happens to be the most famous residence in Memphis. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.440 We're talking about Graceland, the legendary home of Elvis Presley. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.600 She really think she's gonna pull this off. Now I've 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.959 been hearing about this story and we're gonna explain how 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.000 she tried to pull this off. But her name is 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.439 Lisa Finlay, fifty three years old. She has now pleaded 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.400 guilty to one count of male fraud for her brazen 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.600 scheme to put Graceland up for auction, even though she 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.920 had no right to do so. So robes How in 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.520 the world was she trying to pull this off? 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.800 Well, prosecutors say Findley forged the signatures of Presley's late daughter, 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.680 Lisa Marie and a Florida notary to claim that Lisa 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:55.800 Marie was in default of alone and that loan used 0:13:55.800 --> 0:14:00.240 Graceland as collateral. So then Findley filed public notices in 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.080 May of twenty twenty four to auction off Graceland because 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.199 she claimed that Lisa Marie was in default. 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.520 This is now I don't even know about the default, 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:15.000 but just the signing, fraudulently signing a dead woman's. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.120 And how about publicly auctioning off Graceland. You didn't think 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.240 anyone was going to notice. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.480 This place is special to me. I am a kid 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.200 from West Memphis, as you know. But this plead agreement, 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.080 prosecutors did dismiss another account of aggravated identity theft. The 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.880 fraud charge, though she pleaded guilty to, does carry a 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.880 maximum sentence of twenty years in prison, but prosecutors are 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.240 recommending she get about six years in prison. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.240 Yeah, fifty seven months. I believe was exactly what they 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.320 asked for. But clearly she has some I would think 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:44.600 she has some mental health issues. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.320 You know, I'm going to take you there. When I 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:47.920 take you to Memphis, I'm going to take you by. 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.840 Graceland's one of those things you can do so you 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.880 can sign the wall out front. Everybody leaves their signatures. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.280 I've never been, and I'm looking forward to it, all right. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.760 Next up on the run, breakfast just got a little 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.880 more expensive. Denny's has joined a growing number of restaurants 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.440 that have added an egg surcharge to its menus. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.160 This is all because of the ongoing bird flu outbreak 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.840 began in twenty twenty two, led to a nationwide egg 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.520 shortage that has forced many restaurants to make some changes, 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.840 including waffle House, which announced earlier this month that it 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.640 would add a fifty cent surcharge per egg. I think 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.240 theirs is indefinite, but they didn't say it was going 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:24.640 to go on. 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.400 Yeah, they all keep saying temporary, but we'll see how temporary. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.960 You know, we forget and then the prices of the prices, 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.120 and I don't know, I don't know who's going to 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.960 hold them to that, but maybe we will just. 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.160 Like signing up for those things like a free trial, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:38.240 right then you forget. 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.520 About it, exactly. I got about ten of those right now. 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.680 That's actually a true statement. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.560 The amount of Denny's temporary surcharge on egg dishes. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.720 Will vary actually from city to city. 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.120 In fact, they even say from restaurant to restaurant, because 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.880 it'll be all based on the local price of eggs. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.400 So see they're confusing us. 0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.960 Now we won't even know what the price you use 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.320 to be from restaurant to restaurant. But like, this is 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.960 actually a very big deal. When you hear these numbers. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.960 Avian flu has killed more than one hundred and forty 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.320 million egg laying birds in the US over the past 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.840 three years. And get this, nearly twenty million birds have 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.080 had to be put down in just the past month 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.200 alone because of this outbreak. 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.000 And so there we go a dozen eggs. The prices 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.120 for all those ninety five cents nationwide nineteen percent increase 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.360 from just a month before. And I don't think there's 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.520 any sign, there's nothing anybody's pointing to that this is 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.040 going to go away anytime soon. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.120 When you keep reading the bird flu headlines, it seems 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.080 like it's just getting worse. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.280 Actually, so we got all these sory egg prices, but 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.760 one company has decided to take a crack at a 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.400 different approach. They are taking more of a I don't know, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.160 a sunny side of approach, making a much different headline 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.080 for our final leg of this run. 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.640 You must be in a good mood because you read 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:54.480 my cheesy riding. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.240 I didn't feel like fighting you on it. Let's just 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:56.760 get through it. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.920 I have the biggest smile on my face because you 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.960 just read my cheesy Right now, all right, McDonald's is 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.479 not only vowing to reject any surcharge on meals with eggs. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.800 They're going in the opposite direction. They are discounting egg 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.320 mcmuffins for one day only, but hey, we'll take it 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.400 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the breakfast sandwich. This Sunday, 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.200 March second, customers can purchase an egg McMuffin and a 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.000 sausage egg McMuffin for just one dollar on the McDonald's app. 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:25.200 Is this not brilliant? 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:26.320 More so smart? 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.639 You're giving people a break, first of all, though they 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.359 at least feel like you are. But you're not gonna 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.040 come in there and just get an egg McMuffin. You 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:33.680 can get the sausages over here, you gonna get the 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.119 pancakes over there, and they're gonna spend money. So McDonald's 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.520 and not like it they wrote this quote. Unlike others 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:45.400 making news recently, you definitely won't see McDonald's USA issuing 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.040 surcharges on eggs which are one hundred percent cage free 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.520 and sourced in the US. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.560 Boom mic drop good. 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.359 Good for you, McDonald's like yourself out. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:55.879 Yep, you know what. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.960 I like it when companies take advantage in a good 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:03.760 way of a bad situation and McDonald's just brilliantly positioned 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:04.840 themselves on that one. 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:05.760 It's a little test. 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.800 It's almost like they thrown a shot at somebody else, 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:08.440 but subtly. 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.240 And McDonald's has been struggling last year, tough earnings, and 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:13.879 so they're already starting to see a little bit of 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.760 a rebound and they're hoping that this helps. All right, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:21.160 we want you now on this Wednesday, to consider this 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.479 as you go about your day today. It is our 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:24.680 quote of the day. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.479 Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.680 in overalls and looks like work. I do love this. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.240 I've used this one before, seen it before this time. 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.560 No, no, this is Thomas Edison, but I do. This is 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.400 something that I have seen from you or heard from 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:40.879 you as well. So I figured this would be a 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.639 good one, but did not know Thomas Edison said this one. 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.560 I love it. We It's so true. 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.919 People want to get lucky or they want to have 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.760 things happen, but usually you have to make them. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:54.320 Happen, you know the one. I've talked about this a 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:56.560 lot because of people, young people we go out and 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.879 talk to. They see your finished products, so they just 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.040 want that success immediately they want, Oh, that YouTuber has 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.439 a two million followers, as if that person has been 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.239 working for the last seven years trying to get to that. 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.240 So this is always the case. Oh, it's so hard 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.840 for me, And we've dealt with interns years before, like, yeah, 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.680 I just want to start at market number one and work. 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.280 I'd like to begin at the network. How do I 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:18.680 do that? 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.440 And that's okay and it works. But sometimes people think 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:23.840 things aren't working out for me because right in front 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:25.440 of me is the opportunity. I just got to put 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.720
