1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.119
Callaroga Shark Media from Washington, DC, where we pre taped Friday.
2
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:12.119
This is ballot, that's right.
3
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.560
So if you're wondering why we didn't mention World War
4
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.359
three or whatever happened this morning, we took a day off,
5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.399
I'm Patrick Gutfield. And look, you didn't complain when we
6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:24.879
gave you an extra episode the day of the pope's funeral.
7
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.960
We pre taped today. Get over it.
8
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:31.120
Letterman's Friday shows were on tape for ten years and
9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:32.240
you didn't even notice.
10
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:33.200
Anyway.
11
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.240
It's nice to see a child taking an interest in
12
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.640
fine art by getting hands on with the experience. A
13
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.799
kid at Rotterdam's Depot boys Man's van Boningen Museum decided
14
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.119
a fifty six million dollar Mark Rothko painting needed some
15
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.479
personal enhancements. The museum confirmed that gray orange on Maroon
16
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.479
number eight suffered a number of visible scratches in the
17
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.439
unvarnished paint layer after a child, in what they called
18
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.000
an unsupervised moment, touched the lower part of the artwork.
19
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.239
Unsupervised moment that's museum speak for the parents. We're probably
20
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.280
taking selfies in another room. The painting from nineteen sixty
21
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.519
is one of only two roth Go works in the
22
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.920
entire Netherlands, and among the museum's most valuable pieces. For
23
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.400
those unfamiliar with roth Goo's style, his works are basically
24
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.879
large colored rectangles floating on other colored backgrounds, which means
25
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.400
when a child scratches it, everyone can tell immediately. It's
26
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.200
not like damaging a war's waldo, where you might get
27
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.200
away with it. The museum is keeping the identity of
28
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.599
the child and parents private, probably to protect them from
29
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.799
angry art lovers who would send them bills for the
30
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.480
next three generations. They haven't determined who will pay for
31
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.680
repairs yet, but in the past they've build visitors who
32
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:50.239
damaged artwork. Nothing says memorable family vacation like returning home
33
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.400
to a fifty six million dollar invoice. Conservation experts are
34
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.560
now researching how to fix the painting, consulting specialists both.
35
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.000
In the Netherlands and abroad.
36
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.599
I'm guessing the parents are consulting their bank accounts and
37
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:06.359
wondering if selling their house might cover one percent of
38
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:11.199
the damage the lesson here. Modern unvarnished paintings are particularly
39
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.840
susceptible to damage, almost as susceptible as museum curators are
40
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.680
to heart attacks when they see children approaching the artwork
41
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:19.360
without a leash.
42
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:21.840
Talk about a vacation ending with a bank.
43
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.400
Nearly thirty passengers have now been banned from sailing with
44
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.520
Carnival Cruise Line after getting into a full blown brawl
45
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.520
while leaving their ship in Texas. Video footage from April
46
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.080
twenty six shows passengers at the Galveston terminal turning the
47
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:41.360
debarkation area into their personal wwe ring, shoving past barriers,
48
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.360
pushing people to the ground, and throwing punches. Even security
49
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.360
guards couldn't immediately stop the chaos. Nothing says I had
50
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.479
a relaxing vacation like assaulting fellow travelers on your way home.
51
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.240
The fight broke out as passengers were leaving the Carnival
52
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.759
Jubilee after a week long Caribbean crew with stops in
53
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.479
Mexico and Honduras. Carnival told reporters that twenty four people
54
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.439
have been placed on our do not Sail list, which
55
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.159
means these folks have managed to get themselves a lifetime
56
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:15.080
ban from vacationing with Carnival. Now that's an achievement to
57
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.479
put on your resume. The cruise line said they've turned
58
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.280
the matter over to law enforcement, presumably because time out
59
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.719
isn't an option for adults who behave like toddlers. No
60
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.360
word yet on what caused the fight, but I'm guessing
61
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.080
someone either sa cut in line or made a disparaging
62
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.080
comment about the all you can eat buffet. My guess
63
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.439
is was over someone putting a towel on a pool
64
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.319
side chase lounge and claiming they were saving it for
65
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.840
their husband. Milania turned fifty five last Saturday, which happened
66
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.439
to be the same day as Pope Francis's funeral, so romantic.
67
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.960
Trump had previously told reporters he was planning on dinner
68
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.759
on the Boeing because nothing says romance like airplane food
69
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.639
at thirty thousand feet and social media birthday wishes from
70
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.599
the present scident absolutely none. Meanwhile, Malania posted a photo
71
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:05.360
of herself at the.
72
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:06.879
Funeral with her eyes closed.
73
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.759
She wrote, thank you all for the heartfelt birthday wishes.
74
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.120
I had the honor of attending Pope France's funeral on
75
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.959
this day. She's basically saying, thanks everyone, accept my husband.
76
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.720
During the homily, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Ray quoted Pope Francis
77
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.839
saying build bridges not walls. The irony was completely lost
78
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.399
on Trump, who was probably thinking about his border policy
79
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.319
the whole time. And my question for the cardinal is
80
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.000
will Mexico pay for these bridges. When reporters asked Trump
81
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.480
about the funeral afterward, he said, the funeral was beautiful.
82
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.279
It was a beautiful funeral as funerals go. It was
83
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.519
a beautiful funeral. That's three beautifuls in three sentences. He
84
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.680
describes funerals the way real estate agents describe fixer uppers.
85
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:55.800
Happy Birthday, Milania.
86
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.000
Your gift is attending the pope's funeral and then eating
87
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.360
reheated pasta on on a plane. Major League Baseball might
88
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:05.879
finally let Pete Rose out of baseball jail.
89
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.519
Too bad, he's already six feet under.
90
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.600
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced he'll rule on a request to
91
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.720
reinstate Rose from Baseball's ineligible list, which is like deciding
92
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.360
whether to unlock someone's cell after they've already escaped through death.
93
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.120
Rose's family filed a petition for posthumous reinstatement back in January,
94
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.720
probably figuring, hey, he can't gamble on baseball anymore. The
95
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.120
whole situation got even weirder when President Trump got involved.
96
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.959
Manfred met with Trump at the White House on April sixteenth,
97
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.480
and one of their topics was none other than Charlie
98
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:44.480
Hustle himself. Manfred told reporters, I met with President Trump
99
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.920
two weeks ago. I guess now, and one of the
100
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.959
topics was Pete Rose. But I'm not going beyond that personally.
101
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.279
I hope Trump pressure Manford to get rid of the
102
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.319
stupid extra innings ghost runners. Trump had already posted on
103
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.560
truth Social in February that he planned to part and Rose,
104
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.759
adding that Rose shouldn't have been gambling on baseball, but
105
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.399
only bet on his team winning, because apparently betting on
106
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.319
your own team is totally fine in Trump's book, What
107
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.240
could possibly go wrong? Rose was banned from baseball back
108
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.480
in nineteen eighty nine after investigations revealed he bet on
109
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.279
games while playing for and managing the Cincinnati Reds. Then,
110
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.000
in nineteen ninety one, the Hall of Fame changed their
111
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.759
rules to keep anyone on the ineligible list out of
112
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.120
Cooperstown two double band.
113
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.360
This isn't Rose's first attempt at reinstatement.
114
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.639
He applied in nineteen ninety seven twenty fifteen, and even
115
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.560
met with former Commissioner Bud Selig in two thousand and two.
116
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:46.040
Selig's response absolute silence, the baseball equivalent of ghosting someone.
117
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.360
Manfred and Trump also chatted about how Trump's immigration policies
118
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.040
might affect foreign players. Given the number of foreign born
119
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.720
players we have, we're always concerned about ingress and egress,
120
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.120
Manfred said, translation, please don't deport half our league. So
121
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.160
now we wait to see if Baseball's all time hit
122
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.600
king will finally be forgiven after he's already struck out
123
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.839
at life itself. Talk about too little, too late. Portions
124
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.639
of today's show were made with the help of the
125
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.600
over AI and a kid creating havoc at a museum.
