The fires unfortunately are still burning, 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: the winds are still high, and millions are still under 16 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: critical fire danger. 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: But today might be the last scary weather day to 18 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: get over if you will. At PDS warning was issued 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: for areas around Los Angeles today. PDS or particularly dangerous 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: situation you've been hearing about that. It's the highest level 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: red flag warning the National Weather Service can issue. They're 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: usually rare, but seem like they were a regular occurrence 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: the past week in. 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: LA firefighter has got a bit of a break yesterday 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: when the predicted high winds didn't materialize. However, today those 26 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: winds are forecast to be strong again, with gus up 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: to fifty plus miles per hour. As the National Weather 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: Service put it, we are not out of the woods yet. 29 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: But today is the day they do. Now think if 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: they can just get past Wednesday, get past today in 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: the forecast for the next days after that look good 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: for firefighters and they might actually be able to say 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: that this situation is getting close to at least getting 34 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: it over, then we can get solely into recovery and rebuilding. 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: But here are the latest updates from fire officials. Twenty 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: five people are now confirmed dead and wildfires. Another thirty 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: remain missing. 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: The largest fire, the Palisades Fire, still burns. It's now 39 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: around twenty percent contained, and this second largest and deadliest fire, 40 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: the Eaten Fire, is now one third contained. 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 2: Just under one hundred thousand people remain under evacuation orders. 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: Police say they've made fifty arrests now for various violations 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: including looting, flying drones and so on. And get this, 44 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: at least three of those arrests were for people who 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: were trying to start fires. 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: That's that's mind blowing to me and just disgusting. That's 47 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: just good after everything that's been lost, lives lost, like 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: you're really you're going to continue to try and burn 49 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: things that ugh. 50 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: And they don't horse know the exact cause of these 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: fires just yet. Now, these smaller ones that they say 52 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 2: the three people were arrested trying to start were extinguished immediately. 53 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 2: But it's just kind of head scratching. And among the 54 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: group we were talking about somebody's emmy was stolen from 55 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 2: the house. Well, among this group that's arrested, police did 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: say there was a group, like an organized group of folks, 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: nine of them who were part of the group who yes, did. 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: Steal an emmy from somebody's terrible and a lot of 59 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: them were caught on surveillance cameras. A lot of these 60 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: homes had cameras, and so so there it is fairly 61 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: indisputable they were caught red handed, literally on camera. 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: All right. 63 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: Next up on the run, the first confirmation hearing for 64 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: a Donald Trump cabinet position was as fiery as expected. 65 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: Trump's pick for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced some contentious 66 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: questioning from Democrats about the multiple allegations from his past, 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: and of. 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: Course we knew this was going to come off. The 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: accusations about a sexual assault, the accusations about alcohol abuse 70 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: at work and previous jobs he had, and they threw 71 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: a lot of his own spoken and written words back 72 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: at him about women who should not serve in combat 73 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: roles in the military. There are a lot of tough, 74 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: even cringe worthy exchanges between Hegseth and several Democratic senators, 75 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: but for the most part, I have to say heg 76 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: Seth held his own. He stayed on message, and we 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: talked about this as well robes. They didn't seem to 78 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: be able to rattle him. He never got emotional. He 79 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: stayed in his length. 80 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: And when he didn't want to answer a question, he 81 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: just stayed with the script and did not You're right, 82 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: he really held his own and he stayed cool under pressure. Now, 83 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: the exchange most of us were waiting for and potentially 84 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: expecting fireworks ended up all rainbows and butterflies. The woman 85 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: with all the power in the room, Republican Iowa Senator 86 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: Jony Ernst, who has served in a combat role in 87 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: the military and is a survivor of sexual assault. Could 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: have been the one to put an end to Hegseeth's 89 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: path to Defense Secretary. 90 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 2: Because it would only take one Republican defection to block 91 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: Hexet's nomination from coming to the floor for a full vote. However, 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: Erns's questioning made pretty clear when she started, and the 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 2: tone of it was one thing, but the word she 94 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: was using as well made it pretty clear that she 95 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: was going to support him. And even if you were 96 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: suspecting it and maybe thought it, she went ahead and 97 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: confirmed it. She did say full on in an interview, 98 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: I will support President Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, 99 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: so he's got her vote. 100 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: Ultimately, Hegsa's full nomination is in the hands of Senate 101 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: Republicans and with the fifty three four but he's have 102 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: ben a majority in the Senate. Heck Seth doesn't need 103 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: any Democrats to vote for him. He just can't lose 104 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: the support of more than three Republicans, and right now 105 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: it looks like he is headed to becoming Defense Secretary. 106 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: One of the things we heard in the hearings yesterday 107 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats were upset that heg Seth didn't meet with 108 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: them beforehand, as has been customary, But he didn't need 109 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: any Democrats to vote for him, so he didn't waste 110 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: his time. Apparently like he knew he didn't need to 111 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: win any of them over. 112 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: It's customary. It would have been nice, and I think 113 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: it's in the right spirit. I mean, if you're not 114 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: going to vote for me, you're going to end up 115 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: having to work with me down the road. If I 116 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 2: get this, I think it was probably the wrong call. 117 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: That it was those the wrong call for him not 118 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: to meet. 119 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: With them, the wrong thing from an optic standpoint direct 120 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: and for moving forward as far as getting through in 121 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: the nomination process. What's the point, Yeah, I don't have time. 122 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: I got other problems right now. I don't need to 123 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: come meet with somebody who's not going to vote for me. 124 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: I get it, both sides arguments. What's the point come talk. 125 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: All you're going to do is come here and bash me. 126 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: There's nothing for us to talk about, no way to 127 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 2: win you over. 128 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: Just would have been in the spirit of, yes, not 129 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: being partisan. It's supposed to be a position that isn't partisan. 130 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: But anyway, we will see how that relationship or how 131 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: those relationships develop in the future. 132 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: And whoa, we got some more TV watching today, a 133 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: lot more confirmation hearings to keep our eyes on. We 134 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: got the Florida Attorney General, Pam Bondy. She's going to 135 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, is Trump's pick for 136 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 2: US Attorney General. That happens at nine point thirty this morning. 137 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: And then Senator Marko Rubio will appear before the Senate 138 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: Foreign Relations Committee for his bid for Secretary of State. 139 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: That's at ten am. And there will also be committee 140 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: hearings for Trump's pick for CIA Director, Transportation Secretary, Energy Secretary, 141 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: and Director of the Office of Management and Budget. That 142 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: all happens today as well. And then South Dakota Governor 143 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: Christy Nome. That's Trump's pick for Homeland Security Secretary. That's 144 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: an interesting one that we're looking forward to watching. That 145 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: was supposed to happen this morning, but it's been rescheduled 146 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: for Friday morning. And by the way, there are four 147 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: more confirmation hearing slated for tomorrow, so it's a full 148 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,559 Speaker 1: week of fun. 149 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Totally random, but I forgot we have in our closet 150 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: signed cowboy hats from Christina We do with her signature 151 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: on them. We'll tell that story one day about why 152 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: we are both in possession of Christineolan cowboy hats with 153 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: her signature on it. And one day the hat's going 154 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: to be worth something. 155 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: We should we should take a selfie with it or something. 156 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: Don't want to go that far, okay, well tell people 157 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: about it. You don't want to document that rope. We're 158 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,119 Speaker 2: going to stay in DC where man, there are more 159 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: things to keep an eye on coming out of there today, 160 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: more appointment TV to watch tonight and this will be 161 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: President Biden. He is going to deliver his farewell address 162 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: in prime time. It happens to night at eight o'clock Eastern. 163 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: That's right. The White House has not disclosed what Biden 164 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: is planning to say tonight, but this is his last 165 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: official opportunity to highlight to defend his accomplishments as president. 166 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: This is kind of eerie though. The last time Biden 167 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: spoke to the nation from behind his desk in the 168 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: Oval Office in prime time was back in July, and 169 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: that's when he explained why he was reluctantly dropping out 170 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: of the presidential race. So this will be the next 171 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: time and the final time we will see him from 172 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: behind that desk addressing the nation. And this is a 173 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: tradition that goes back to George Washington, and presidents can 174 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: say what they want, but oftentimes they use this moment 175 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: to reflect on their records and warn of challenges ahead. 176 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: So we might hear both. 177 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: And no matter what do you think about politics, what 178 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: a moment this has to be to have. I mean, 179 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: his political life is over, his political career. 180 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: Five decades is over. 181 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, in one speech, you're gonna wrap it up and 182 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: say goodbye to everybody, and it's got to be an 183 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: emotional night for his whole family. But oftentimes, like you say, 184 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: they try to I want to say, correct the record, 185 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: but in some way try to at least put the 186 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: best spin they can on the time that they've had 187 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: in the White House. Certainly we'll see some of that. 188 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: We've seen some of that even the past few weeks. 189 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying to cement their legacy. And that makes 190 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: a lot of sense, especially with other people commenting. And 191 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: he isn't the most popular guy right now in terms 192 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: of what the general population thinks of him then, so 193 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: he's trying to perhaps amend or correct that e bit. 194 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: Yes, but we will be watching but stay with us 195 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: here on this Wednesday morning run. When we come back, 196 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,239 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama is about to have another high profile absence. 197 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 2: It's unexplained, but does she really need a doctor's note? 198 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: Stay with us. We continue now on this Wednesday morning run, 199 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: and up next, Michelle Obama is skipping Trump's inauguration, according 200 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: to a statement from her office that simply reads, and 201 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: I quote, former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend 202 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: the sixtieth inaugural ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will 203 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: not attend the upcoming inauguration end quote. 204 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: That's it, nothing more, no reason given. Former Presidents Bill 205 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: Clinton and George W. Bush are also expected to attend, 206 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: along with their wives, and that is customary. This will 207 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: be the second glaring absence by the former First Lady. 208 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: Yes, you will remember she was absent for President Carter's 209 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: funeral last week. All the other presidents and their wives 210 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: were in attendance at that one, as well. The Obama's 211 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: attendant Trump's inauguration in twenty seventeen. Though some pretty hilarious 212 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: memes came out of that when cameras called Michelle Obama's 213 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: facial expressions, Trump and his wife Milania did not attend 214 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: Biden's inauguration in twenty twenty one. That one, I mean, 215 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: no excuse, but that one, okay, given what was going 216 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: on at the time. 217 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and at least they both didn't attend. It's been 218 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: interesting that Barack Obama has been in attendance and Michelle 219 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: has not been. And there really hasn't been an excuse. 220 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: And believe I shouldn't say there's she doesn't need to. 221 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: She doesn't need to make an excuse, so let me 222 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: point that out, obviously, But a lot of people are concerned, 223 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: and I've seen op ed's written already saying Michelle Obama 224 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: isn't sick, she's just sick and tired of Trump. And 225 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: she's made it very clear that she doesn't like him, 226 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: she doesn't want to be around him. 227 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 2: And a lot of people will hear that and go, okay, amen. 228 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: Understand correct. So it could be a number of reasons. 229 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: She hasn't given a specific one yet, and she may 230 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: not need to or have to. But it is a 231 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: little puzzling. 232 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 2: Folks, know, I mean, come on, we've given the new 233 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: cycle the attention to something like this. They know better 234 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: than anybody how this is going to be viewed. So 235 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: the concern there is this something has raised, has reached 236 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: such a level that she's not attending these events. Is 237 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 2: it because Trump is there? I guess that's a possibility, 238 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: But also given the history of the old that seems petty. 239 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: It seems like they always meet the moment. No matter 240 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: what do you do, what's expected of you as a 241 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 2: public servant, you don't show Not showing up the inauguration 242 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: is one thing. I was more surprised didn't show up 243 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 2: at Carter's funeral. 244 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: Correct, And she isn't she the one who said when 245 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: they go low, we go hi. That's that's her mantra. 246 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: So this doesn't make a lot of sense given knowing, 247 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: given who she is and how she has acted in 248 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: the past. 249 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: So that does make you concerned. 250 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: It is concerned that. 251 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: It was trending yesterday for people asking is she sick? 252 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: Like what is wrong? But the other part she has 253 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: said in the past, this dude, mister Trump, with his 254 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: rhetoric put my family in danger. 255 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: Right. 256 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: I ain't ever gonna get over that. I don't want 257 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: to have to go sit next to this guy. Honor 258 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: this guy right at a But to. 259 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: Your point, the Jimmy Carter funeral absence that one's tough 260 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: to explain if that is in fact the reason why 261 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: she isn't attending these events. 262 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: Maybe she saw the seat arrangement for the funeral and said, 263 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: I gotta sit between. 264 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: You could have said, hey, Barack, you're gonna have to 265 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to buffer, you know what. 266 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: She would have been allowed. 267 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: Of course she would have, and I'm sure that would 268 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: have complied. 269 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: You are literally scratching your head right now, and that's 270 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: what a lot of people are doing. 271 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: Like what this just doesn't it doesn't make sense. 272 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: You hope they're okay and she's okay and everything is okay, 273 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: but just what a glaring accent? 274 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly, well Michelle Obama is not going to be there, 275 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: But we are getting word on who will be attending 276 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: Trump's inauguration. How about the three wealthiest men in the world. 277 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg will all reportedly 278 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: have a prominent spot at the swearing in ceremony on Monday. 279 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: Did you when you were a kid at the at 280 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: family holiday there was a kid's table. Oh yea, they 281 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: have a billionaire's table at the inauguration. 282 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: The three richest billionaires, they at this table. 283 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: They are going to be seated together, reportedly on the 284 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 2: platform with other notable gas like Trump's cabinet nominees and 285 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: other elected officials. All three have made significant seven figure gestures, 286 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: I should say, to earn favor with Trump over the 287 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 2: past year or so, and that seven figure gesture. They 288 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: made contributions to his inaugural. 289 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: Yes, well, in fact, let's detail them. In fact, Musk 290 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: made an eight figure donation. Must donated more than two 291 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty billion billion dollars to Trump's campaign eight 292 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: and is now the co chair of the new Trump 293 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: agency called DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. 294 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: Yes. So then Zuckerberg, Bezos and others. Yeah, other companies 295 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: do this as well, So we're singling them out, but 296 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: they are far from the only ones to do this. 297 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: Donate a million dollars to the inaugural fund and adjusted 298 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 2: content moderation policies on Meta. You saw this happen. This 299 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: was a big deal that Zuckerberg did this, and it 300 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: seems like he was trying to win favor and be 301 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: more in line with the president elect. 302 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: And then Bezos, through Amazon, doted a million, donated a 303 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: million dollars as well to Trump's inaugural fund, and decided 304 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: last fall that the Washington Post, which he also owns, 305 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: would not endorse either candidate for president, which caused a 306 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: lot of upheople there at the Washington Post, because this 307 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: tradition that has gone way back and have always gone 308 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: for the Democratic president nominee presidential nominee. Correct, So that 309 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: that certainly ruffled a lot of feathers. And in case 310 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: you were wondering, the men's combined wealth sitting there on 311 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: that stage, eight hundred and eighty five billion dollars, That 312 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: is insane. 313 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: That should get you good seats. 314 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: You know what, That's a really good point. 315 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: Going to continue on a run now, And what an 316 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: update we have now, a wonderful one to pass along 317 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: about the help of Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales, 318 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: announced via social media that she is in remission. 319 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: Last month, excuse me, last March, she revealed that she 320 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: was undergoing treatment for cancer, and that announcement came after 321 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: she had major abdominal surgery, which afterwards revealed that cancer 322 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: had been present. 323 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: She largely stayed out of the spotlight last year, and 324 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: she focused on her health and then late last year 325 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: revealed she had completed her chemotherapy treatment, and in an 326 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Instagram post yesterday she did let. 327 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: Us know how she was doing right, She said, it 328 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: is a relief to now be in remission and I 329 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: remain focused on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a 330 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to 331 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: a new normal. I am, however, looking forward to a 332 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: fulfilling your head. There is much to look forward to. 333 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Thank you to everyone for your continued support and we 334 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: wish her the very best. I know this is true. Yes, 335 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: once you have a cancer diagnosis, you live with cancer 336 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: because that threat hangs over your head. You live differently. 337 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: You're in usually some varying stage of treatment for the 338 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: rest of your life. A lot of us and wish 339 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: her the very best. It can be a beautiful existence 340 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: when you have a new found appreciation for life. All right. 341 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, we're going to head to 342 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: South Korea, where that country's president became the first sitting 343 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: South Korean leader to be detained and taken into custody. 344 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: President Yun is facing insurrection charges after he declared martial 345 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: law in his country last. 346 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 2: Month and get this. Investigators this time brought more than 347 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: three thousand police officers. Some of them had ladders to 348 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: get over the barricades so they could detain President Yun. 349 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 2: They had tried this last week. There was a six 350 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: hour standoff. Ultimately they were unsuccessful. So they came with 351 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: a massive police presidence this time and bodyguards. Yune's bodyguards 352 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: saw it. He said, you know what, We're not even 353 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: going to try this time. 354 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. They were like, we are outnumbered. We are absolutely outnumbered. 355 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: So Yun was able to strike a deal with the 356 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: law enforcement that showed up so he would go with them. 357 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: He said, I won't be in handcuffs. I'm going to 358 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: go on my presidential motorcade, not in a police car. 359 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: And so that was all worked out, and then he 360 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: released a video message shortly after he was detained, saying 361 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: I agreed to go with police to answer questions in 362 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: order to prevent a bloody clash. He said between his 363 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: bodyguards and bodyguards and police. He called the investigation and 364 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: the warrant to detain him illegal. 365 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: Now they can only hold him question him for forty 366 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: eight hours. After that, we will have to apply. They 367 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: will have to apply for a court warrant to formally 368 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: arrest him. They are trying to determine whether Un committed 369 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: an insurrection when he declared martial law on December third, 370 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 2: sending armed troops into the Assembly to seize the legislature 371 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: and detain his political enemies. 372 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: He was the first South Korean president to put his 373 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: country under military rules since the country became a democracy 374 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: in the late eighties. The country's Constitutional Court is deliberating 375 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: whether the Assembly's vote last month to impeach him was 376 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: legitimate and whether Yun should be formally removed from office. 377 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: The court's next hearing is scheduled for tomorrow, so there 378 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: will be much more to come on that story. 379 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: Next up on our run, we'll head back here to 380 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 2: the US, where Elon Musk is being sued by the 381 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: US government claiming he unlawfully got a hunt hundred and 382 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars discounts when he purchased Twitter. 383 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: The Security is in Exchange Commission is accusing the world's 384 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: richest man of securities fraud for not disclosing his ownership 385 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: stake in Twitter when he bought it. Musk purchased Twitter 386 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: for forty four billion back in twenty twenty two, and 387 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: at the time of the deal, Musk had already acquired 388 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: significant stock in the. 389 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: Company, but by not revealing that in a timely manner, 390 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: he was able to pay what the SEC called artificially 391 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 2: lower prices for the stock, essentially duping investors out of 392 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: an estimated one hundred and fifty million dollars. Through his lawyer, 393 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 2: must says he's done nothing wrong in that the lawsuit 394 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: is a culmination of a year's long campaign of harassment 395 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: against Musk by the SEC. 396 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: What happens next is up in the air. Trump takes 397 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: office next week and has already nominated Paul Atkins to 398 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: take over at the SEC. It is unclear if Trump's 399 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: SEC pick will continue to pursue this lawsuit against Musk. 400 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: Ee probably has a pretty good show of that, bye bye. 401 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: Been pretty good at that. Yeah, getting out of lawsuits. 402 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 2: But they're all flying around. I mean, I don't know obviously, 403 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 2: but to everyday Americans, do they care about some sign 404 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: this didn't sign it in in time in a ton 405 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 2: of fifty. 406 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: Here, and I don't think so. 407 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we got a final leg here of 408 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: our run on this Wednesday morning, and on this final 409 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: leg folks, there's going to be a change. Bathrooms are 410 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 2: for paying customers only. You see these signs kind of 411 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 2: everywhere in the small shops. Yeah, sometimes seem like they're handwritten. Right, Yes, 412 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: bathrooms are paying customers only. But the signs are about 413 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: to start going up at Starbucks stores around the country 414 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 2: after the company announced yesterday that it is ending its 415 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: open door policy. 416 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: That policy allowed anyone to hang out in its shops 417 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: or use its restrooms even if you didn't make a purchase. Well, 418 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: now you're going to be required to make a purchase. 419 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: This is a reversal of a policy Starbucks put in 420 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: place after that twenty eighteen incident where two black men 421 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: were arrested at a Philadelphia Starbucks. 422 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that accident police were called after the two 423 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: men came in, sat down, were waiting for a friend 424 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 2: to arrive. That was all caught on camera camera, and 425 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 2: it caused a change in policy. There are well cause 426 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 2: that change in policy at the time, and now that 427 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: one is being reversed. That was a huge You remember 428 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 2: that that was a huge pr mess for Starbucks because 429 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: it was all on camera. 430 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: Right, So, yeah, that change in policy, along with offering 431 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: new customer incentives is meant to lure people back into 432 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: the stores by creating a more welcoming environment. The focuses 433 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: on paying customers. You know, I remember I haven't had 434 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: to use the Starbucks restaumant a long time. But there 435 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: was a time, and maybe this was before twenty eighteen, 436 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: where you had to have a receipt and on the 437 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: receipt it gave you the code to get into the bathroom. 438 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: So that was how they did it, and maybe that's 439 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: what they're going to go back to, where your receipt 440 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: gives you a bathroom code and only then can you 441 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: use the bathroom. Or sometimes they have you know that 442 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: like in the gas station you have a key. You 443 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: have to ask for the key, but to get the key, 444 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: you had to have purchased something. 445 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 2: But the idea in the first place of having an 446 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: open door policy is for people you want to go 447 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: in and just work on your computer. They wanted to 448 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: create that kind of environment. But days everybody knows there's 449 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: a lack of public race restroom facilities in a lot 450 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: of cities, so people would just go into the Starbucks. 451 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 2: But they say that was creating an issue because you 452 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: have the mental health crisis, you have a homeless crisis, 453 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 2: and it was creating a different environment. So now they're 454 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: trying to go back to the original environment. 455 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I support that. I think it makes sense 456 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: for you to use a restroom you should have to 457 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: purchase something, and that makes a lot of sense to me. 458 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 2: But they do have lagging sales. They're trying to do something. 459 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: They have a new CEO, they're trying to make some 460 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: moves to try to get those numbers back up. All right, 461 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: we shall see which which part you want to do 462 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 2: here as we do the quote. 463 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Of the day, which, well, I'll say, consider this as 464 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: you go about your day today.

This is from the file of 469 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 2: my pastor. But I always loved it. Everybody is going 470 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: to talk about somebody behind their back today. Everybody is 471 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: will what if we all said something good about somebody 472 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 2: behind their back? I love, love, love doing that.

You never get 475 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: credit for it. But do it. 476 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: It's much better than the well, you know what I 477 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: always say, when you talk about somebody behind your back, 478 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: it always gets back to that person. It does ultimately, 479 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: And how about it get back to that person that 480 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: you said something nice, you said something kind. It's almost 481 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: always the opposite. So I love this idea and I 482 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: will put it into practice today.
