1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Hey everyone,

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: this is your Morning Run for Thursday, September twenty fifth.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: Holmes. Yes, they tried to shut him down, but they

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: did the opposite. Kimmel had record ratings. I didn't think

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: they were going to say record. I thought it would

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: be higher of it. I didn't know what they're gonna say. Record.

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, like in like many many years, like beyond.

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Yes, he did gang Busters. Thinks all this controversy will

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: tell you what those numbers are. Also on this Thursday morning, now,

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: we told you about that statue of Epstein and Trump

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: that showed up on the National Mall. It's gone as

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: fast as it came. It's gone already. It has been removed.

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: Do you wonder why? Also this morning, the President wants

15
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: an immediate investigation because he said he was sabotaged at

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: the UN and possibly by the UN. I told you

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: about a long social media post he had yesterday. This

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: one was longer.

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said not once, not twice, but three times.

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: Three times. Babotage will tell you what he's on about.

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: And I'll also remind it. Take a look at that

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Apple podcast app top right corners. As followers click that,

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: you can get our updates anytime they come out. And

24
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: there are a lot these days, including on the run

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: this morning, one dead, two in critical condition after a

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: targeted attack at an ice facility. Also Alabama set to

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: carry out an execution tonight that the victim's sun doesn't

28
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: even want to happen. Also, a man continues to plead,

29
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: He continues to plead with the state. We told you

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: about that story earlier. Also, we got Diddy in court

31
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: today and he's going to give us a bit of

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: a hail Mary. He has a shot to possibly go home.

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: Nobody really thinks it's going to happen, but he is

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: taking a chance anyway.

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, one week before he actually has his sentencing date.

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: So we will keep you updated on all of that.

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: But we begin our run this morning in Texas, where

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: one person is dead and two others were sent to

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: the hospital in critical condition after police say a man

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: opened fire indiscriminately at an ice facility in Dallas. Is

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: being labeled an act of targeted violence.

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Noah, I was already say the shooter was on a

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: rooftop when he began firing at that facility. That shooter

44
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: was later identified as twenty nine year old Joshua John.

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: He was found dead of a self inflicted gunshot wound.

46
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: But police, even though they have not said a specific motive,

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: they said there was anti ICE messaging on the bullet casings,

48
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: but Robes even though it seems they think he might

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: have been targeting ICE agents, no ICE agents were actually injured.

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: And this incident only it appears detainees who were there.

51
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run. It turns out

52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: getting suspended is really good for ratings. Jimmy Kimmel's return

53
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: to the air Tuesday night garnered some of the highest

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: viewership the show has ever seen. Disney says six point

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: two six million people tuned in to hear what Kimmel

56
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: had to say after he was suspended.

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 2: Okay, he said six point twenty six million people. A

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: little perspective here. The show last season averaged one point

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: four million viewers. Wow, three times, four times? Do that mask?

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: But yes, was what we You know what I thought

62
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: he'd go up. I didn't know it go up that much.

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: That was impressive. Also impressive because it wasn't everywhere in

64
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: the country. Now the Tuesday show also had the highest

65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: rating in the coveted eighteen to forty nine de mon Robes.

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: That hasn't happened since twenty fifteen.

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Wow, ten years in the making. And also get this,

68
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: his monologue has been viewed twenty six million times and

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: counting on YouTube and elsewhere. That's got to be pretty

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: record setting as well. And Sinclair and Nextstar still up

71
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: in the air. Nextar continuing to evaluate the status of

72
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: the show. But yeah, you make the point the fact

73
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: that he got those kinds of numbers where twenty percent

74
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: of his audience was not allowed to view it, that

75
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: is remarkable.

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that has everything to do with Sinclair and Next Star,

77
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: probably two names a lot of people in the country

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: didn't even know before this controversy popped up. But these

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: two are the biggest owners of ABC stations in the country.

80
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Both of those opted to preempt kimmel'sh so wouldn't put

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: it on their ABC stations. And there's no clear indication

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: at least right now Robes of when the show might

83
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: return to those stations.

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: That's right. So for its part, Next Our put out

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: this statement giving us an update about where things stand,

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: saying Next Star is continuing to evaluate the status of

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel live on our ABC affiliated local television stations,

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: and the show will be preempted while we do so.

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: They go on to say this, we are engaged in

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: productive discussions with executives at the Walt Disney Company with

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: a focus on ensuring the program reflects and respects the

92
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: diverse interests of the communities we serve.

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: That is a high vague bar that they're asking him

94
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: to meet. Continuing on the run here now back in Manhattan,

95
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: Sean Diddy Combs going to be back in court today,

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: I believe, right, the first time right since the verdict? Yes,

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: I believe so yeah, so yeah, that was in July.

98
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: So he's going to be back in court today. The

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: judge is going to take up post trial motions and

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: there is a hail Marian. Did He's defense team is

101
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: asking the judge to throw out the verdicts against him.

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Now, that would be a shocker if that happened. But

103
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: also today the lawyers are expected to make arguments for

104
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: why did he should only be sentenced to fourteen months

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: in prison and with the time that he's already served,

106
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: that means did he would be home for the holidays.

107
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: His sentencing is scheduled for next week, which is October third,

108
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: and the prosecutors, of course want much more than that.

109
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Four to five years, I believe was the last ass

110
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: that we saw.

111
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: I thought to think this man was considering or was

112
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: up for life in prison, and we're talking about he

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: could be cutting the Thanksgiving turkey.

114
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: You think that's gonna happen?

115
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: Though, this judge has been pretty consistent that this dude

116
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 2: should not be on the street, correct.

117
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean they tried very hard and actually fairly convincingly,

118
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: at least in terms when we went through the arguments

119
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: of why did he should be allowed bail until his

120
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: sentencing hearing to the point where I thought.

121
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: Hmmm, he's gone home.

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: That might sound reasonable enough where the judge could say yes,

123
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: and guess what. The judge, politely, he's been very respectful,

124
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: still said no.

125
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: But consistent. Yeah, we'll continue on the run here on

126
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: this Thursday morning, and we probably robes. I don't know

127
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: if we predicted this. We said it out loud, but

128
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: privately maybe we knew this was gonna happen. That trump

129
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Epstein's statue we told you about here yesterday showed up

130
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: on the National Mall in Washington. Well, it's gone already, Robes.

131
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: That's right. The bronze colored statue was a form of protest,

132
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: if you will, from a group called the Secret Handshake.

133
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: It depicted Trump and Epstein smiling, holding hands, frolickings that's

134
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: the word you use it, I use frolicking. I think

135
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: I've seen skipping. I mean, it's hilarious. Even if it

136
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: just was of Trump by himself, it's a funny motion

137
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: that you would never see him actually make. So to

138
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,119
Speaker 1: see him doing it with Epstein, with them holding hands

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: together is I know, it's it's it's not funny to

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of folks, but just the image itself does

141
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: make you smile. And the statue's title says best Friends Forever.

142
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: It did not make Trump smile.

143
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: It did not. It also had a plaque on it

144
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 2: that red we celebrate the long lasting bomb between President

145
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump and his closest friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Again

146
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: we told you about this. It showed up on Tuesday. Yes,

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: it was gone by Wednesday.

148
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: The group claimed to have a permit and that the

149
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: statue would be up for the week, but the National

150
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: Park Service removed it because They say it did not

151
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: comply with the permit issued and by the way, it's

152
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: severely damaged. According to the photos released by the group,

153
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Trump's head is actually sliced, sliced in half.

154
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks wow. I thought, Oh who did in while?

155
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: Know what that's about.

156
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Look, they did have a permit through Sunday at eight pm.

157
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: They claim this is bs. They say they're actually trying

158
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: to make some argument that the statue is a little taller.

159
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure that's what it was. I'm sure that's

160
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: what it was, just by a few inches. But oh well,

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: had to take it down for those you know, height regulations.

162
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: Hey, you rule breakers, do you think? But some of

163
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: us follow the rules. Okay, all right, continue on the

164
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: run here now, folks going to head south, specifically to

165
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Alabama State, planning to move forward with the execution of

166
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: a convicted killer tonight, despite please from the victim's son

167
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: not to go through with the execution. Yes, Will Barry

168
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: is his name, and he is trying to save the

169
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: life of a man who killed his mother.

170
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: Jeffrey West shot Margaret Parrish Barry in the head during

171
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: a robbery at the gas station where she was working

172
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety seven. Will Barry was just eleven years

173
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: old when his mom was killed, but now says he

174
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: forgives West and that West has expressed remorse to him

175
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: in letters that the two have exchanged, and Barry actually

176
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: says he wants to meet West, but his request was denied.

177
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: There are safety protocols in place where they won't allow victims'

178
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: family members in any circumstance, for any reason, to meet

179
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: with the convicted killers of said family member, And it

180
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: makes it look you can understand how there could be

181
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I just want to talk to him, and

182
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: then violence erupts. That makes a lot of sense.

183
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: And also both sides agree to this wasn't just buried,

184
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: but West's the convicted killer. His team, everybody agreed. Everybody

185
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: was on board, but the state would not allow it

186
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: to happen, so he and others delivered a petition. Barry

187
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: and others delivered a petition to the governor this week

188
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: pleading for her to stop the execution. But the governor

189
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: has previously said she's just following the law and roll.

190
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: This is a fairly new method, I believe only the

191
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 2: second time they're using an Alabama nitrogen gas is going

192
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: to be used for the execution, and to hear it,

193
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: I mean they put a mask on the person's face

194
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: and they're just pumping that through the mask. So you're

195
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: being denied oxygen and you're just breathing in this stuff.

196
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: So obviously you're denied oxygen. The body can't live. But

197
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: that's the method that's being used tonight.

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: He got to choose it right when he was sentenced

199
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: to death. He had a you know, it's kind of

200
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: a weird thing where you get to choose how you die.

201
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: But these days, it seems like with all the reports

202
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: coming out of execution chambers, and there have been quite

203
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: like a record setting execution. You're at least in the

204
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: state of Florida. But it doesn't seem as if there's

205
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: any way that isn't cruel and unusual. There seems to

206
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: be suffering in each in each in every way. So

207
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: I think he chose this, at least it's reported that

208
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: he chose it because he felt like this would be

209
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: the least painless, But it's tough to know in these moments.

210
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: And yes, that's scheduled for later this.

211
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: Evening, and I know you meant less painful. Oh what

212
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: did I say the least painless?

213
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh I meant to say, yes, sorry, less painful.

214
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, continuing on the run here now we

215
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: were talking about this off the top, This story I

216
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: cannot believe is picking up as much steam as it

217
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: has been. Yeah. The next leg brings us back to Manhattan,

218
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: particularly on the East Side, where President Trump says he

219
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: wants an immediate investigation because he was the victim of

220
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: a triple sabotage during his appearance at the United Nations

221
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: this week. There were a couple of high profile mishaps

222
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: during his visit on Tuesday, and a lot of this

223
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: was gone on camp.

224
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Yes. So first, as cameras were rolling, the President and

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: the first lady stepped onto an escalator and then it

226
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: just stopped.

227
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: Everybody know, this is the famous escalator. Anytime you see

228
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: something from the UNN, all these world leaders have to

229
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 2: go up this big escalator. So cameras are everywhere. It's

230
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: kind of embarrassing.

231
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: Do you think someone just cut the power to it?

232
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: Not at all?

233
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so it just stopped, and that was embarrassed.

234
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: They had to walk then, all right. Then, as the

235
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: President was delivering his speech, the teleprompter went out, been there,

236
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: done that. These things do happen. And now the President

237
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: says the audio in the auditorium was jacked and people

238
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: in the room just couldn't hear him speaking at all.

239
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: He said, when you stepped off first person, he saw

240
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: his Milania, He asked, how did I do she said,

241
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I did not hear a word

242
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: you said. So this is sabotaged. Obviously, all of this

243
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: cannot be a coincidence. According to the administration, Press Secretary

244
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: Carolyn Levitt says, a secret service is actually looking into

245
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: the matter. But listen to just a little bit of

246
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: what Donald Trump had to say in a long social

247
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: media post on the matter.

248
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: A real disgrace took place at the United Nations yesterday,

249
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three very sinister events. Exclamation point.

250
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: This wasn't a coincidence. This was triple sabotage at the UN.

251
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I demand an

252
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn't been able

253
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: to do the job they were put in existence to do.

254
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: All security tapes that the escalator should be saved, especially

255
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank

256
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: you for your attention to this matter. Exclamation point A fine.

257
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: But here's the thing you asked, if we really thought

258
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: somebody did this. It turns out the United Nations has

259
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: already looked into this, and they already responded. First of all,

260
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: the escalator that was a photographer, a US photographer, they say,

261
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: by the way, who was trying to get ahead of

262
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: them to get a shot and had equipment and whatnot.

263
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 2: And they think accidentally bumped the emergency stop button. Is

264
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: that plausible, islaw?

265
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: But I can understand why he might feel like someone

266
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: did it deliberately, especially a member of the media.

267
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: And there was a tabloid over in London that reported

268
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: that someone some workers were overheard saying they thought this

269
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: would be funny to stop the escalator.

270
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: So he is putting these two I could see. I

271
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: see to me that one does seem a little sinister.

272
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: That you know, just right when Trump and Malania get

273
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: on this escalator comes to it.

274
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: You're standing at the top. The button's right there. You

275
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: can't everybody's.

276
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Gonna I honestly didn't even know there was a button

277
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: at the.

278
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: Topmen emergency button to make sure things don't get stuck.

279
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: Why it's a safety thing. Also the teleprompter, why did

280
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: the teleprompter go down? You in says, we don't know

281
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: y'all were running it.

282
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: The White House was running.

283
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: The White House was in charge of the teleprompters.

284
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: As someone's getting fired.

285
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: That was on you. And he did reference both of

286
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: these things like at living during the speech, say yeah,

287
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: I am telepropter. Don't work, escalator don't work. What are

288
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: y'all doing?

289
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: He said it during the speech, but no one heard him,

290
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: so it was, okay.

291
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: Make a very good point. All right, stay with us

292
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: folks here on this Thursday morning run Rihanna. Don't you

293
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: just love how she makes her baby announcements. She surprises

294
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: us and tells us she's pregnant in the first place.

295
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: Now we find out about baby number three and she

296
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: is gonna have two big brothers.

297
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: As we continue our morning run on this Friday Eve,

298
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: we've got some celebratory news. That's nice. It's a nice

299
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: way to end a morning run. We don't often get

300
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: to do this, but baby number three has finally arrived

301
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: for Rihanna and ASoP Rocky. The couple announced the birth

302
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: of their first daughter, how Sweet, born over the weekend.

303
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: This was the little one we found out about at

304
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: the met Gala earlier this year. She was in New

305
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: York and she was photographed a couple of times it

306
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: looked like she had a baby bump, but she went

307
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: to the met Gala made it official. This is how

308
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: she likes, This is how she likes to roll.

309
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: At the Super Bowl she revealed the other one. That

310
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: was a great reveal watching the halftime show and we

311
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: were all like, wait, is she pregnant? That was actually

312
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: really clever and amazing.

331
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: TJ picked the quote of the day today. So please,

332
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: my love, do the honors for us.

333
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna love this. And the quote is, we have

334
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: to assert our dignity in small ways. It's the small

335
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: details that let people know we are not invisible. I

336
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: don't know the lady's name who uttered this quote, but

337
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: I loved it and I wrote it down when I

338
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: heard it. You're not gonna believe where I got this one.

339
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: I you're right. Who did you get it? From?

340
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: Lynn? Manuel Miranda's in the Heights. There's a scene from

341
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: a woman in there who is taking care of the community,

342
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: like the grandmother to the whole community and takes care

343
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: of everybody. And the young people are struggling with something.

344
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: She was giving some words of advice, like you have

345
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: to show up. You have to hold your head up high,

346
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: you have to have your shoulders. But you have to

347
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: show up and show your dignity in small ways. And

348
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: that's how people know you're here. I tell you, I

349
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: get quotes from everywhere. I'm watching a random movie. This

350
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: was years ago and I've found this this morning in

351
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: my thought, Wow, it's fair.

352
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I've never yet, but that's a cool way to think

353
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: of something. I hadn't considered that. But yes, it's those

354
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: moments where you take pride in yourself and you show

355
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: up in a way that you know is honoring who

356
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: you are and what you represent. I love that we

357
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: have to assert our dignity in small ways. It's the

358
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: small details that let people know we are not invisible.

359
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: I've always believed in even small acts, and it's all

360
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: the little things we do. It's not the big, grandiose,

361
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: look at me moments in life. It's those small, almost

362
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: ones that could go unnoticed. But because they're consistent, and

363
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: because you show up each and every time, you matter

364
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: and they matter. Yes, And with that, everyone, thank you

365
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: so much for running with us on this Thursday.
