Well, 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: she's been arrested again trying to leave the country, this 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: time on a bus. 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: Also, Justice and Juliet, a current member of the US 27 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: Supreme Court, debuted on Broadway last night. Here's a hint. 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: It was not Clarence Thomas. I know this probably thinking, yeah, 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 3: it wasn't him. But this is a really cool and 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: a heartwarming and a fun story. It's a really a 31 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: nice nod and it's a story we probably need today 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: because some of the news well. 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: Is just I know, it's nice to remember that Supreme 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: Court justices are people too, people with dreams and aspirations 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: and goals. I think we think of them as these 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: like stoic people in a black robe. That is, they're 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: not like us, but actually they are. So it's yeah, 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: it's a very wonderful way to end a tough news day. 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 3: In the black robe for a teal outfit, I believe. 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: But we will get into all of that, but we 41 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 3: have to start. Too often, how we start news broadcasts 42 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 3: in this country is talking about a school shooting and 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: we are starting to run in Madison, Wisconsin, that's where 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 3: we have once again seen a deadly school shooting, and 45 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: police say a fifteen year old girl, Natalie Samantha Rupnow 46 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: opened fire around eleven am in a classroom during study hal. 47 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: Rupnow killed a student and a teacher and then shot 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: five other students at the Abundant Life Christian School. Two 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: of them are fighting for their lives this morning in 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: critical condition. Rupnow ultimately turned the gun on herself and 51 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: Police say it was a second grader in a nearby 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: classroom that called nine to one one when shots first started. 54 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: Officers were on the scene within three minutes, and a 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: lot of folks are crediting that call by that second 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: grader and the quick response for saving lives. 57 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: Rupnow used a handgun in the killings, and detectives are 58 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: now searching for a motive. SWAT teams rated her family's 59 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: home last night, looking for some answers and interviewing the 60 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: teen's father. 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: And angry hate field manifesto reportedly belonging to the shooter 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: is circulating online right now. Police say they are aware 63 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: of it and are working with the FBI to confirm 64 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: whether or not it actually is. 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: From rupnow, having covered too many of these shootings, we 66 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: all get to a point where there is there's no 67 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: good or adequate answer for the why in these awful situations. 68 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: But it's worth noting. I love what the police chief 69 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: said following the shooting when he was speaking to reporters, 70 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: because of course the question always is why. So he said, 71 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: many of you ask me about the why of this? 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Why did this happen? What do we know? What was 73 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: the motivation? I do not know, said Chief Barnes, but 74 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: he said, I will tell you this. Our detectives are 75 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: working hard in the investigative process to find out as 76 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: many answers as we can so that we can further 77 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: prevent these types of things from happening, not only in 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: this community, but in other communities around the country. I 79 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: think we can all agree that enough is enough. 80 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: And of course, as we know, a lot of police departments, 81 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: law enforcement around the country, they do drills they practice 82 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: for just these types of scenarios. They do that there 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: in Madison as well, and it just so happened this 84 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: police force went through this type of training in scenario 85 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: just two weeks ago, so it was fresh on their minds. 86 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: Who knows how much that may have played a factor. 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: Hopefully it did, but we have to mention here, I 88 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: guess because this is a part of the story. You 89 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 3: see this stuff circulating online, and the police chief did 90 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: address it, was asked directly about the shooter and whether 91 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 3: or not this kid was trans because a lot of 92 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: that conversation is happening online. We'll just let you know 93 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: what the police chief said, said, he doesn't know, they 94 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: have no indication whether or not this is a transgender kid. 95 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: Said frankly, it shouldn't have anything to do with the 96 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 3: discussion right now. 97 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: Anyway, That's correct, you know, and all of those details 98 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: will come out because of course people do want to 99 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: understand again to try and prevent this from happening again. Also, 100 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: that a big shout out to that second grader. I'd 101 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: have to think it's so sad we talk about how 102 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: our kids and our students. Now we had tornado drills 103 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: as kids, they have shooting drills, and you have to 104 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: think that perhaps that quick thinking by that second grader, 105 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: who was able to get to a phone to call 106 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: nine one one, had a huge impact on just how 107 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: few students were shot. Although any loss of life is 108 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: tragic and certainly, our hearts go out to that student 109 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: and that teacher who lost their lives yesterday. The next 110 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: leg of our run is going to take us tomorrow. 111 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: Lago in f Florida, where President ELEC. Trump yesterday gave 112 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: his first press conference since winning the election, And it 113 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: was exactly what you'd expect, the free wheeling affair we've 114 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: all come to know and love. 115 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: Oh yes, So he talked about the polio vaccine, He 116 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 3: talked about those mysterious drones TikTok, even talked about New 117 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: York City Mayor Eric Adams, and he talked about his 118 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: own popularity. Just some of the topics covered. We'll give 119 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: you some of the highlights here, he declared, and this 120 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 3: is a quote, You're not going to lose the polio vaccine. 121 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 3: This appeared to be an attempt to quiet concerns about 122 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: his AHHS nominee RFK Junior, who has promoted debunked claims 123 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: about the same fety of vaccines. 124 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: Over the years, and on those mysterious drone sightings in 125 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: New Jersey that have caused quite a friendsy, Trump claims 126 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: the government knows what's happening and just isn't telling us. 127 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: For some reason, He said, they don't want to comment, 128 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: and I think they'd be better off saying what it is. 129 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: Our military knows, our president knows, and for some reason 130 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: they want to keep people in suspense. We will have 131 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: more on that story coming up in just a bit. 132 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 3: Also in his press conference, he was asked if he 133 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: considered pardoning New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and Trump said, yeah, 134 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 3: I would, and then said he thought Adams had been 135 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: treated unfairly. 136 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: And on the recent period of tech billionaires and CEOs 137 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: who've been visiting him at Mara a Lago, Trump simply said, 138 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: everybody wants to be my friend. Well, it's kind of 139 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: hard to argue with that. Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, 140 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: all of their CEOs have either been visiting or have 141 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: a visit scheduled with Trump at mar A Lago. 142 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: Well, no interest to every teenager in the country right now. 143 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: Trump visited with the head of TikTok as well. 144 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: Well. 145 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: That happened yesterday, and in his press conference he hinted 146 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 3: that he could step in to keep TikTok from being banned. 147 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: That bann is supposed to go into place next month. 148 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: Trump said he has and I'm quoting here a warm 149 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: spot for TikTok after he was asked about a pending 150 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: ban against the social media side. 151 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that ban happened because Congress overwhelmingly passed and then 152 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden signed a bill that requires TikTok's parent 153 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: company to sell the app. If they don't, it's going 154 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: to be banned from app stores and all the web 155 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: posting companies here in this country. Trump told reporters he 156 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: believes TikTok helped him with young voters this election, saying 157 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: TikTok had an impact, and so we're taking a look 158 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: at it. 159 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: That's unclear exactly what he means by that, unclear exactly 160 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: what power he has, but TikTok is facing that January 161 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: nineteenth deadline. Proponents of the bill say TikTok poses a 162 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: national security risk, saying that Chinese government has been spying 163 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: on Americans through the app. 164 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Now, one other note from Trump's press conference. He announced 165 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: Japanese company's soft Bank to invest a hundred billion dollars 166 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: in the United States over the next four years, with 167 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: the hope of creating one hundred thousand new jobs, particularly 168 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: in the field of artificial intelligence. Unclear exactly what that 169 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: means AI is a big uh. I don't know, a 170 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: confusing grayscape for me that I am trying to navigate 171 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: but maybe not doing a great job of it. 172 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: Yes, you need humans to create artificial intelligence that can 173 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: then replace humans. 174 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: I think that's how it goes. 175 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: We're going to continue our run here and we'll keep 176 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 3: running with the President elect, Donald Trump is still a 177 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: felon and will remain one for the time being, after 178 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 3: a judge refused to throw out his hush money conviction. 179 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: This was a highly anticipated decision. 180 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: Trump was asking the judge to toss the jury verdict 181 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: out that convicted him on thirty four felon accounts related 182 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: to that hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. 183 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: So Trump's lawyers argued his convictions should be tossed based 184 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: on a Supreme Court ruling the grants president's broad immunity. 185 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: The judge, which disagreed, So the convictions stand for now. 186 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 3: And we are saying for now because Trump still has 187 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: another motion pending to dismiss the case, and in that 188 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 3: one he argues the conviction should be tossed based on 189 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 3: the fact that he just won the presidential election. So 190 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 3: no word on the timing of that decision. Ultimately, if 191 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: his convictions stand, the prosecutor has suggested that Trump could 192 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: be sentenced after his term as president is over. So 193 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: we're talking twenty twenty. 194 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: Nine, Well, will he be eighty one at that point. 195 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 3: Yes, And even if they sentence him now, they said 196 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 3: it is a good chance he wasn't going to get 197 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: into jail time anyway, So in another four years. 198 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right. Next up on our run, we're 199 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: going to head to Iowa, where the Des Moines Register 200 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: appears to be next on Trump's list. The president elect 201 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: has filed a lawsuit against that paper, its polster, and 202 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: its parent company over the stunning poll in the closing 203 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: days of the election that showed Vice President Harris ahead 204 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: of Trump by three points. 205 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: In the state Trump won by thirteen, which his win 206 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 3: is in line with the other polling that showed him 207 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 3: ahead and also in line with Iowa being a reliably 208 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: read state. Trump's lawsuit claims that the Des Moines Registered 209 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: poll wasn't just an anomaly, it wasn't just a mistake here, 210 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: but an intentionally manipulated poll that was meant to change 211 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 3: the outcome of the election and the pollster j Ann 212 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: Seltzer initially stood by the results of her poll and 213 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 3: then after the election, announced that she was retiring. 214 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: From Poland unrelated. Unrelated, I think she said right. News 215 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: of this lawsuit comes days after ABC News agreed to 216 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: pay fifteen million dollars to settle his defamation suit against 217 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: the network and George Stephanopoulos. Trump also has a lawsuit 218 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: pending pending against CBS News for ten billion dollars, claiming 219 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: deceptive practices in how it handled its Kamala Harris interview. Yeah, 220 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: he figured why not? 221 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's got to be. 222 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: I mean, news organizations have to be a little nervous, 223 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 3: and right now everybody's going to mar A Lago to 224 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: kiss the ring. I mean, to some degree, are you 225 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: going to see journalists and networks start to monitor or I. 226 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: Don't know. 227 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: What themselves. Well that's the word. I'm looking at you, 228 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: and I'm ter themselves or. 229 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: Just be more aware. You and I both understand and 230 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: know this wholeheartedly. Having been in network news for decades. 231 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: The threat of lawsuits, and especially when you know somebody 232 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: is willing to make them, stand by them and pursue them, 233 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: absolutely has an impact on how you cover things. 234 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: Scares executives off. 235 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: There are countless stories whether we have been told not 236 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: to either do this, ask that, or maybe not even 237 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: do the story altogether, based on a threat from a lawyer. 238 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: I've had stories absolutely buried with the threat of a lawsuit. 239 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 3: And this is what even though you know, even though 240 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: they don't win in court, just the press is awful. 241 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 3: So hey, he has got everybody on notice now, but 242 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: stay with us on this Tuesday morning run. When we 243 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: come back, the Governor of New Jersey tells everybody to 244 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: calm down about these drones. Next up on our morning ron, 245 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 3: we're gonna head over to the Garden State, and the 246 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: Governor of New Jersey says there is little to no 247 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: evidence of anything to worry about. I'm gonna read it again, 248 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: he says, there is little to know evidence of anything 249 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: to worry about. Thanks Governor Phil Murphy, we feel better. 250 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: He told reporters this after, of course, these continuing concerns 251 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: about those large drone sightings in the skies over New 252 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: Jersey and beyond in the past several weeks. 253 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he just left that door crack, didn't he. For 254 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: more conspiracy theories. Yes, well, what Governor Murphy said falls 255 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: in line with what we've been told by law enforcement 256 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: agencies after unexplained lights have been seen and recorded by 257 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: residents since mid November. The governor spent the weekend with 258 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: the New Jersey State Police and the FBI after receiving 259 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: three sophisticated systems from the federal government to monitor what 260 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: was going on in this guise. And yet there is 261 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: still no official response as to what these objects are, 262 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: what they're doing, and who is launching them. 263 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: We don't know who's launching what they are, but they 264 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: keep telling us there's no national security risk. How can 265 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: you do that if you don't know who's responsible, what 266 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: they're doing, and what they are. So Americans, none of 267 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 3: this is flying with the public right now, remaining skeptical 268 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: and concern. New York Center Chuck Schumer says he's asking 269 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security to deploy drone detecting technology 270 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: to find out who are what's behind it. 271 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: President elect Trump, we heard what he said in the 272 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: press conference, but he's also called, along with others, for 273 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: the US to shoot down the drones. That's one way 274 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: to figure out what they are. But officials cautioned anyone 275 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: thinking about doing that, saying, you know what, this could 276 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: be dangerous and possibly deadly if manned aircraft are targeted mistaken. 277 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: So you just can't have people shooting up in the sky. 278 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: We get that, but how the how do we not know? 279 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: I almost cursed. How do we not know if these 280 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: are manned aircraft or drones? How was that not determined 281 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: at this point? 282 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: Well, Trump says, the President knows in the military notes, 283 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: and they're not telling us. 284 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 2: This is a problem. 285 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: And I think American people believe that too. 286 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 3: Did you see Schumer in his press conference the other day. 287 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 3: He was standing up there with a literally one of 288 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 3: those kid toy magic eight balls. He said, if you 289 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: want to know what's in the skies, and he shook 290 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 3: it and just look at your magic eight ball. 291 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: Point you get his point. 292 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: Yes, right, that's where we are right now, with information 293 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: zero transparency. 294 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue our run. 295 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: We're gonna head back over the Hudson and back here 296 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: to Manhattan, where jay Z tried to prove his innocence 297 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 3: in a PowerPoint presentation yesterday. 298 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: Yes at a press conference at jay Z's Rock Nation headquarters. 299 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: Jay's attorney, Alex s. Biro, used slides to dispute the 300 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: civil lawsuit that accuses Sean jay Z Carter of raping 301 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: a thirteen year old girl along with Sean Diddy Combs 302 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: back in two after the MTV Video Music Awards, Spiro 303 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: said the alleged incident simply did not happen, calling it 304 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: untrue and a fantasy. 305 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 2: He said he. 306 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: Expects the case to either be dismissed or crumble. He 307 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: laid out a timeline that he says proves that the 308 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 3: allegation is made up. First of all, he pointed out 309 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: that the accuser claims in her stories who have been 310 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: taken from the award show, which was in Manhattan, to 311 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: home in the suburbs where the alleged assault took place. 312 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: But Spiro showed pictures of jay Z at an after 313 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: party in Manhattan, which he said would have made it 314 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: impossible for him to have traveled to a home in 315 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: the suburbs. In an interview in recent days, the accuser 316 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: did acknowledge some inconsistencies in her story, but stood by 317 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: her accusation. 318 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: Oh, we want to continue our run here on this 319 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: Tuesday morning. We want to turn now to a woman 320 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 3: who has been on the run. First, she managed to 321 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: sneak onto a Delta Airlines plane heading from New York 322 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: to Paris. Now while out on bail for that offense, 323 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: she almost made it to Canada after cutting off her 324 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: ankle monitor and getting on a Greyhound bus almost. Svetlana 325 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: Dolly is a name. She was arrested for the second 326 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 3: time this month. 327 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: Yes, she was first arrested we all remember back on 328 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: December fourth, for stowing away on that Delta flight to Paris, 329 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: and now again for jumping bail. Police apprehended her yesterday 330 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, New York, near the border after the person 331 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: she was staying with in Philadelphia found the cutoff ankle 332 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: monitor and saw that she was missing and so notified police. 333 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: The big question how was she even allowed out on 334 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: bail given that she is quite literally a flight risk. 335 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: So the judge was asked all this. 336 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: The prosecutors were arguing that she clearly the woman wants 337 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 3: to get away, so she should not be allowed on 338 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: a bail. The judge released her and acknowledged the concern 339 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 3: with her being a flighter, saying, quote, she evaded tsa 340 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: security checks twice. There are not community ties here. I'm 341 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 3: in a tough spot. 342 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: Oh that's why he settled on the ankle monitor. Well, 343 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: we see how that all worked out. We're gonna see 344 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: what happens this time in court. Dolly is due to 345 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: appear before a federal judge later today. I think we 346 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: can all guess perhaps that maybe bail may be denied 347 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: this time around. 348 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: And if you're in this woman's family, please somebody get 349 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 3: her some travel passes for Christmas or something. The woman 350 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: clearly wants to get out. 351 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: She doesn't have a passport though, by the way, she 352 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,239 Speaker 1: can't afford it. 353 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: Come on, we gotta get her somewhere. 354 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be in the United States. She's 355 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: made that clear. 356 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, on the final leg of our run, here. 357 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 3: The sweet story we were talking about at the top 358 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 3: here of the of the podcast. This is a really 359 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: great and unexpected I didn't know this was happening, but 360 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 3: Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson fulfilled a lifelong dream 361 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 3: of hers and she debuted in her first Broadway show. 362 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: That's Right. Jackson had a special one time performance in 363 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: a hit musical and Juliette, starring in two scenes that 364 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: were specifically written for her. Jackson said she was overwhelmed 365 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: with the joy of being on stage. But the significance 366 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: of the moment was not lost on her. She said, 367 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: five years ago, I was a district Court justice. Nobody 368 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: knew who I was. To have both of the pieces 369 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: of my fondest dreams come true in this little bit 370 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: of time has been extraordinary for me. 371 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 3: And here is the chills inducing part of this story. 372 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: Jackson wrote in her memoir memoir Lovely One that she 373 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 3: had a lifelong love of theater and that her dream 374 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: was to become the first Supreme Court justice to perform 375 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 3: on Broadway. That is unbelievable to write something like that, 376 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 3: I mean, just to be a Supreme Court justice, just 377 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,479 Speaker 3: to be on Broadway is one thing. To put that 378 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 3: out there and then do it, I mean kudos to 379 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 3: her her message after the performance. I think the lesson 380 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: is don't give up and don't be deterred that you 381 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 3: can't do it, and again that anything is possible. 382 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: It's a cool story, it is, and I also found 383 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: it fascinating. So she went to Harvard and in college 384 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: she was debating whether or not she should be an 385 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: actor or a lawyer. And she really was struggling with 386 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: it because she grew up on stage and in theater. 387 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: And she was actually in an acting class with Matt 388 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: Damon at Harvard. I don't know if this is true, 389 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: but this is really funny. She said that. She quoted, 390 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: she said, we were talking about Matt Damon. We were 391 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: in a drama class together. I memorize my lines and 392 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: I'm ready to go and it's over, and the professor says, Katanji, 393 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: you did such a good job, Matt. We'll talk. It 394 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: worked out well for both of them. 395 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that might be the boogiest line anybody could 396 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 3: ever utter. Yeah, I was in an acting class with 397 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: Matt Damon and Harvard. 398 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: What who gets to say that, Well, apparently Supreme Court 399 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: Justice Katanji Brown Jackson. 400 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 3: Congratulations to her, and congrats to the folks of a 401 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: Juliette here. 402 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 2: It's a wonderful show. I haven't seen it, like Sabine and. 403 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: Weak, it's on the list. I want to see it, to. 404 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 3: See it, but but to do that for her and 405 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 3: to I know it's very big and promotional for them, 406 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 3: but that was a very cool thing to coordinate. So 407 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 3: congrats to everybody involved. And as we leave you on 408 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 3: this to use you on the run, we would like 409 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: for you to consider this. 410 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: Our quote of the day, Darkness makes me fumble for 411 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: a key to a door that's wide open. You just 412 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: did a little dance. This is from your files. 413 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: Explain this was from It's a song by the Police, 414 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 3: of all things. Your mouth, wow, your jaw just dropped 415 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: a song by the Police. 416 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: I believe it's called Darkness. But this was a wonderful line. 417 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 3: I can't remember where I picked it up or I 418 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: was brought to my attention, but the idea there that 419 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 3: we are sometimes in our own way, or we can't 420 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: see maybe what's right in front of us, there's some barrier. 421 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's all our own doing that keeps us. We're 422 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: fumbling around trying to find the solution. We're trying to 423 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 3: find the key to open a door. 424 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: And if you just. 425 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: Settle yourself and look ahead and stay focused, the door 426 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 3: is wide open and waiting for you to walk through it. 427 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: I love that, yes, the song. 428 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: I love that you were quoting a Police song.
