Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your Friday Morning run. Yes it is Friday, July thirty. First, I'm Amy Robots.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ Holmes. How you doing this morning? Robes?
00:00:16
Speaker 1: Doing pretty good? You know I love a Friday. You love a Monday. I love a Friday. So yeah, today's my day, feeling good.
00:00:22
Speaker 2: How's the sleep score?
00:00:23
Speaker 1: You know I didn't check. I'd have to go mors.
00:00:26
Speaker 2: No worries, but hey, good morning to everybody's Friday, last day of July. The summer seems to be flying. Kids are gonna be back in school no time. But wherever you may be, hope you're having a good wrap up to this week, to this month and enjoying the rest of your summer. We're going to be making several stops this morning, including in Massachusetts, d C, Seattle, Mississippi, Tucson Camp David Rio, Georgia at a passport office near you. But we'll start Robes with the President has a plan B if his Plan A doesn't work when it comes to his attorney general.
00:00:57
Speaker 1: That's correct, SOT Todd Blanche is no nomination to become Yes the next attorney general is in trouble because two Republican senators have opted to withhold their support. So President Trump says, Yep, he's got that new plan to get Blanche confirmed. Wait them out ain't.
00:01:15
Speaker 2: The worst idea, I guess yes. Senator John corn of Texas and Senator Tom till Us of North Carolina are withholding their support, and without it, the nomination can't even get out of committee. Both senators are not up for reelection robes, so they don't have much of a problem pushing back against this president who campaigned against both of them, so Tillis decided he wasn't even gonna seek re election. Cornyn lost in his primary. So both of these guys robes have incentive to poke this president a little bit. But they do say now they're going to withhold for the time being. Both of them are going to do this, So the President is just gonna wait them out. Robes, wait until they're out of office. They'll be gone. Bring up the nomination again next year, hopefully when he has better numbers.
00:02:03
Speaker 1: If he has better numbers, big if. But this is what the President wrote on true Social Todd. Blanche is a star and everyone knows it. He has the potential to go down as one of the greatest attorney generals of all time. However, John cornyin of Texas and Tom Tillis of North Carolina, both of whom I refuse to endorse and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this great nominee, who will remain in any event as acting I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: Sorry, These two men expressed unease about Trump's sweetheart deal with the DOJ that shielded the Trump family from further IRS scrutiny, and they also wanted assurances that the widely panned anti weaponization fund was not going to be coming back. They wanted that in writing where this leaves things, Who know what the next step is going to be? But right now they were supposed to vote on his nomination, and that vote is on.
00:03:06
Speaker 1: Holds all right? Next up on the run some exciting news. Trump commemorative passports will not be available across the country. When they were first announced, the limited edition passports that feature an image of Trump. We're only going to be available in the DC Passport Offense.
00:03:25
Speaker 2: But that's not fair to the rest of us who would like to get our hands on this commemorative two hundred and fiftieth anniversary passport. Yes, the State Department says they're expanding it. Passport is going to be available all over the country. This is how they made the announcement. Quote. In response to overwhelming demand, the Department of State is making an additional two hundred and fifty thousand of the special commemorative passports available to the public. Americans all across the country will now have the opportunity to apply for one of these additional special passports, known as the Patriot Passport.
00:03:57
Speaker 1: Of course it is OHI are we going? Uh no, I just got mine renewed last year.
00:04:02
Speaker 2: But these are going to be limited edition. I'm telling you, I'm going to get this for sabine and in forty years, let I put that sucker on eBay. It'll pay for kids college education. Okay, if you say so. Next up on the red run. President Trump is holding a cabinet meeting today. But it's not just any cabinet meeting.
00:04:23
Speaker 1: Road trip.
00:04:24
Speaker 2: They are heading to Camp David. He doesn't spend a lot of time there, but the presidential retreat there in Maryland is going to be used. Remember they tried this in May. Terrible storms or something in the air. They didn't happen there. But these meetings are hilarious. They have a reputation now they are epic. This is where he has fallen asleep before. I've been accused of taking long blinks, i should say. In these meetings, and you sit around roades, you just hear these people praise him, his cabinet, just tell him how great he is. But they go long and long and long. So it's a Camp Daving at least a different venue. I'll keep my eye on this one a day.
00:04:59
Speaker 1: Maybe he can sleep on the way there, all right, Next up on the run. Imagine a World Cup without France or England or Spain or Belgium or Portugal or like any European team. Yes, every European team has vowed not to participate in future World Cups or any tournament hosted by FIFA.
00:05:25
Speaker 2: This is an earthquake in international soccer. We aren't paying maybe as close of attention because we're soccer. Yeah, what is that movie? He just made me think of a line from this silly movie with Jonah Hill where this guy he's running through their practice and he's like, get out of the way, what are you doing? And the guy just turned and said, it's soccer? Are you getting upset? You just reminded me of that line super Bad. It wasn't that movie. But anyway, the point here this is huge. We're paying attention because we just had the World Cup and yes, America were loving it. But the boycott is by YUEFA. If you don't know who that is, that's the European Soccer Federation. They're the ones that are the group that's in charge or a collection of all the big time European teams. They are saying, we ain't participating in anything because FIFA announced that new plan to create a private company that would allow private investors to purchase a stake in the World Cup Rose. They were cused essentially now FIFA trying to sell the world's game and Rose. This is enormous. FIFA does not have the backing right now of the most important clubs in the world. This is a standoff. Don't know how this is going to result.
00:06:42
Speaker 1: It I think they would have checked with them first before making this announcement, right, and to avoid all of this public public spectacle, maybe they could have come to an agreement behind closed doors and then you know, a way for everybody to financially benefit. Perhaps, but this gets.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: Somebody is going to have to cave. FIFA says they're moving forward. Doesn't help that President Trump seemed pretty chummy with the FIFA president and then now this new group they're putting together. Jerk Kushner's brother is a part of one of the best year so it all looks ugly like that. But this is a mess. You can't have a World Cup final with US versus Costa Rica. Yeah, no, you in the world not going.
00:07:22
Speaker 1: To worry, right, Well, there's more to come on that one, for sure, But next up on the run. Just days after that deadly shooting at a Seattle food festival, the city's police chief has now resigned. Sean Barnes had been criticized for the city's response to the weekend shooting that left at least three people dead, including the shooter, and another four people were wounded.
00:07:43
Speaker 2: Now they do have a fifteen year old suspect in custody, another suspect still on the loose. Police in the city had been criticized for kind of bungling the aftermath of the shooting. In particular, they were slow to update the community about whether there was an ongoing threat road. I didn't realize it was like a five or six hour gap where the like wasn't getting any information.
00:08:01
Speaker 1: Yeah about it, and didn't I read that the bullets that were recovered from those who were killed in the shooting did not belong to the fifteen year old. So this other suspect that's on the loose is a serious threat to the community.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: And there was misinformation that was put out that the mayor had to retract, and the word is that she gave him the option, you need to resign, You're going to get fired. And this is where it's a shame rose. But yeah, in the midst of still this investigation and a shooter on the loose, the police chief is out.
00:08:32
Speaker 1: My goodness, all right, next up on the run. This state autopsy for Nolan Wells has been completed, but we don't know the results, and we don't know when the public might even hear the results. That is a big headline and a head scratcher.
00:08:48
Speaker 2: I guess we get it as far as the investigation, but it's just so much public interest. They're telling us, Robes, we have the answer that the public wants, and we're not going to give it to you. It's no sense. It's tough with the investigation. But what's happened here, and of course people familiar with their story by now wells the eighteen year old disappeared died under mysterious circumstances after a fourth of July weekend outing now, this private autopsy was done. It determined that the cause of death was undetermined. The state results Robes, they say they have to wait for the police investigation, everything to be completed. Then they're going to hand that over to the grand jury that's going to make a decision. And then and only then maybe will we see so this information.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: What we could be months away?
00:09:28
Speaker 2: Then are they not going to tell the family that makes that? I don't know.
00:09:33
Speaker 1: I just feel like I get it in certain circumstances, but this one is so divisive and folks are getting death threats, so it's important to be transparent as soon as possible. My goodness, all right, Next up on the run jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial are going on a field trip as well. Today they will visit the home where Clancy strangled her three young children. And yesterday was actually a short day of testimony. They wrapped early around noon.
00:10:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though they got in ten witnesses by noon. All these were first responders, police officers, people recalling what was happening on the scene when they first got there. She is pleaded guilty, of course, by a reason of insanity, claiming mental illness. It's not guilty.
00:10:17
Speaker 1: What did I just say guilty?
00:10:19
Speaker 2: She's pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Oh, yes, mental illness and postpartum psychosis. These things are done every once in a while, ropes juries go out and visit sites, and there is value to it. But they are heading out today. The jury, the judge, and the lawyers all be out there. And yeah, I didn't have right. Somebody else's living in the house.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: We were just discussing that. Yes, they were talking about in trial, how this notion that they were living in some fancy house. They said the house might look like that now, but the couple who bought it did massive renovations to it. So yes, and you look you and I looked at each other and he said, someone's living in that house.
00:10:56
Speaker 2: And they're going to get access. Apparently ropes. They can walk around the whole property. They are allowed to go in to see every room in the house, are not allowed to touch anything, and they're not allowed to open closets or the rules. But yes they will see the basement.
00:11:08
Speaker 1: Goodness, that is crazy, all right. Next up on the run, we do have a much anticipated update in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. The sheriff said yesterday that forensic testing has been completed on that hair sample we've heard so much about found at Guthrie's Tucson home.
00:11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said, much anticipated, robes, much anticipated and no answers. Still, The results of the testing came back inconclusive, according to Sheriff Nanos. He says they still have other evidence being evaluated for DNA, but so far nothing robes has led to a potential suspect.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: All right. Next up on the Run, A judge has sentenced the fifty five year old father of a Georgia school shooter to prison. Colin Gray will spend fifteen years behind bars after becoming the first parent in state history to be charged or convicted after their child was accused in a school shooting.
00:11:58
Speaker 2: Now, his son, Colt was fourteen when he shot and killed two students two teachers at Appalachi High School in Georgia. That was two years ago. Colt was sentenced earlier this week to life in prison without the possibility of parole, after pleading guilty to fifty five charges. Wrote every time I see that, what a tragedy upon tragedy, a sixteen year old kid life in prison without the possibility of parole. Yes, he's the shooter. Yes, he's the killer of man. This is just a tragedy to think a teenager you got the next eighty years of your life. That's it.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: Yes, And the judge, the judge yesterday told his father, Colin that he was responsible for sending his son to prison for the rest of his life. That was really powerful. Yes, because Colin gifted the assault rifle used in the school shooting to his son earlier that year, and prosecutors say he ignored warning signs about Colt's obsession with school shooters amid his declining mental health. So yes, he will be behind bars for quite some time.
00:12:53
Speaker 2: All right, folks will stay with us on this Friday morning run when we come back Netflix, they seem to have helpless numbers of movies, but they are being sued for losing one of them. We will explain to that story coming up. Also this morning, how good are you at geography? Well, even if you suck, you was sure, hope the State Department is better than you. They're not.
00:13:28
Speaker 1: Welcome back to your Friday morning run. And next up on the run, this one is absolutely this is pretty good. Netflix is being sued for one hundred and five million dollars for allegedly losing a movie. Yes, this is crazy. A production company out of the UK says they hand delivered an unencrypted copy of their film to Netflix and the streaming service was supposed to then screen the film as a possible buyer of said film.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: But according to the company, Netflix reached out to them and said the drive containing the movie had been stolen. So here's the problem. The company claims the forty five million dollar film is now essentially worthless because robes what company is going to pay them now millions of dollars to the rights to their film that is floating out there in the wind somewhere with an unauthorized copy that somebody could release on the internet anytime they wanted to. Does that make nobody's going to pay money for that?
00:14:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it should be. Netflix should probably just go ahead and say we'll take the movie. Then uh uh huh. Netflix has pushed back, that's not what they've said. Yes, in fact, they've said the opposite. They said, sorry, but it's not our fault. You didn't have proper safeguards in place.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: There's apparently some industry standard for safeguards to suppose to prevent something like this from happening. Even if somebody steal is supposed to be a watermark or something on it to prevent this. He's like, hey, hands off, sorry, we lost it. Are bad, but come on broh.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: Wow. And by the way, this movie is described as a World War to espionage flick starring Nicholas Cage, so this is like a big, highly produced film.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: Forty five million is a budget. Wow, this is incredible. They lost it.
00:15:19
Speaker 1: Goodness, so now you.
00:15:20
Speaker 2: Owe us for making our movie essentially worthless.
00:15:24
Speaker 1: Wow. We'll see what happens with that one. But for the final leg of our run.
00:15:29
Speaker 2: Is this not the favorite story today?
00:15:30
Speaker 1: This is insane?
00:15:31
Speaker 2: This is so wonderful.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: There needs to be a renewed focus on geography in US schools. We all know that, right we as Americans. I bet you most people could not even probably fill out a map of the United States.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: We should do this later. We always talk about this. I think we could, No, we could.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: I would just want to see who could do it fast. Yeah, but our kids. I think this would be a fun, fun little project to see who could get all fifty states. And I'd be I think we'll be pretty embarrassed about how many Americans could do that.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: That's always a thing. We don't know geography here, and there's some stats that back that up. Back.
00:16:05
Speaker 1: Yes, and I was just talking about our country, but I think when you talk about the world, a whole other level. So yes, we as Americans just proved that we just made a very embarrassing geographic snapu on the world stage of.
00:16:22
Speaker 2: All things, of all places. This was at the annual AIDS Conference. It's happening in Rio, but the US was making a presentation, the State Department in particular, and they displayed robes a map of the African nations that the US is partnering with on some particular health initiatives and places that we are helping with particular funding.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: Simple enough, right, So they've got a map of Africa and they've got some countries that are pulled out and highlighted. So those countries, while they were all mislabeled, every single country, they were either shown in the wrong place or with the wrong borders. For example, semple Nigeria was shown as a landlocked country in sub Saharan Africa, like they put it in the middle of the Sahara desert.
00:17:09
Speaker 2: It is not a land locked country and it's certainly not sub Saharan. Let's see where are we here, Cameroon, it borders Nigeria to the east on the map, so Nigeria borders Wait, Cameroon borders Nigeria to the east. It's actually shown west of Nigeria and not bordering it at all. Wow.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: And then say the Ivory Coast, which is in the west, is actually shown in the southeastern part of the continent.
00:17:40
Speaker 2: That one.
00:17:40
Speaker 1: You know, that's crazy because look, I actually understood obviously, and the countries change and I get it. It is a big continent, a lot of countries, but you know where the Ivory Coast is. I can actually see it immediately. That's crazy.
00:17:55
Speaker 2: So even you know where it is way to the in western Africa, it's in the south, Yes, it's in the east on this map. Yes, Robes. This was an embarrassing moment because of the reputation that sometimes we have of being dismissive of and not paying attention to, and certainly this administration even robes efforts in Africa, don't care about that continent, those people, black skin, whatever you want to say, Robes that reputation, and to put this up on the world stage, we're saying we didn't even give a shit enough to get this right in front of the world. Wow.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: The State Department did apologize, They took responsibility for the error and the confusion it caused, and they're blaming it on AI.
00:18:39
Speaker 2: No. Reuters and some journalists were able to point out there's some type of watermark you can look for to know that this was done by AI, and so it seems like somebody hastily threw that together, depended on AI and embarrassed us on a.
00:18:56
Speaker 1: World I cannot believe that no one there was no safeguarden place that no one looked at that and said, wait a minute, I mean, can you imagine just like, imagine that happening to Europe like we would never you know, like, it's just crazy to me that more care and consideration wasn't given.
00:19:15
Speaker 2: That's what it is, Robes. Mistakes can be made. That was care and can That's right. We don't care enough to make sure it's right. Be care enough is worse than us just being because that's a mistake you don't have to make. Even if you don't. I can't point out every country on the continent of Africa, but I can promise you I'll get it right. If I have to make a presentation in front of African.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: Nations, you'll at least double source thing. Yes, please, oh my goodness. All right, And on this Friday, we will leave you with this quote of the day. Happiness lives in three places, letting go of what was, enjoying what is, and trusting what will be.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: You lost me on that last one.
00:19:57
Speaker 1: See you gotta have hold with you part of happiness. Yes, and I anticipation of joy is always something that I try to keep in my heart because it does. Like you tease me when I'm like and you'll even say, what's the next trip? Look, not that you're not living in a moment, but I do think it is important to have something to look forward to as well, and that's part of trusting what will be. So happiness lives in three places, letting go of what was, enjoying what is, and trusting what will be. And with that everyone, we hope you have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: I made me robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Always appreciate your running with us. Talk soon.

Speaker 2: Now they do have a fifteen year old suspect in custody, another suspect still on the loose. Police in the city had been criticized for kind of bungling the aftermath of the shooting. In particular, they were slow to update the community about whether there was an ongoing threat road. I didn't realize it was like a five or six hour gap where the like wasn't getting any information.
00:08:01
Speaker 1: Yeah about it, and didn't I read that the bullets that were recovered from those who were killed in the shooting did not belong to the fifteen year old. So this other suspect that's on the loose is a serious threat to the community.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: And there was misinformation that was put out that the mayor had to retract, and the word is that she gave him the option, you need to resign, You're going to get fired. And this is where it's a shame rose. But yeah, in the midst of still this investigation and a shooter on the loose, the police chief is out.
00:08:32
Speaker 1: My goodness, all right, next up on the run. This state autopsy for Nolan Wells has been completed, but we don't know the results, and we don't know when the public might even hear the results. That is a big headline and a head scratcher.
00:08:48
Speaker 2: I guess we get it as far as the investigation, but it's just so much public interest. They're telling us, Robes, we have the answer that the public wants, and we're not going to give it to you. It's no sense. It's tough with the investigation. But what's happened here, and of course people familiar with their story by now wells the eighteen year old disappeared died under mysterious circumstances after a fourth of July weekend outing now, this private autopsy was done. It determined that the cause of death was undetermined. The state results Robes, they say they have to wait for the police investigation, everything to be completed. Then they're going to hand that over to the grand jury that's going to make a decision. And then and only then maybe will we see so this information.
00:09:27
Speaker 1: What we could be months away?
00:09:28
Speaker 2: Then are they not going to tell the family that makes that? I don't know.
00:09:33
Speaker 1: I just feel like I get it in certain circumstances, but this one is so divisive and folks are getting death threats, so it's important to be transparent as soon as possible. My goodness, all right, Next up on the run jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial are going on a field trip as well. Today they will visit the home where Clancy strangled her three young children. And yesterday was actually a short day of testimony. They wrapped early around noon.
00:10:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though they got in ten witnesses by noon. All these were first responders, police officers, people recalling what was happening on the scene when they first got there. She is pleaded guilty, of course, by a reason of insanity, claiming mental illness. It's not guilty.
00:10:17
Speaker 1: What did I just say guilty?
00:10:19
Speaker 2: She's pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Oh, yes, mental illness and postpartum psychosis. These things are done every once in a while, ropes juries go out and visit sites, and there is value to it. But they are heading out today. The jury, the judge, and the lawyers all be out there. And yeah, I didn't have right. Somebody else's living in the house.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: We were just discussing that. Yes, they were talking about in trial, how this notion that they were living in some fancy house. They said the house might look like that now, but the couple who bought it did massive renovations to it. So yes, and you look you and I looked at each other and he said, someone's living in that house.
00:10:56
Speaker 2: And they're going to get access. Apparently ropes. They can walk around the whole property. They are allowed to go in to see every room in the house, are not allowed to touch anything, and they're not allowed to open closets or the rules. But yes they will see the basement.
00:11:08
Speaker 1: Goodness, that is crazy, all right. Next up on the run, we do have a much anticipated update in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. The sheriff said yesterday that forensic testing has been completed on that hair sample we've heard so much about found at Guthrie's Tucson home.
00:11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said, much anticipated, robes, much anticipated and no answers. Still, The results of the testing came back inconclusive, according to Sheriff Nanos. He says they still have other evidence being evaluated for DNA, but so far nothing robes has led to a potential suspect.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: All right. Next up on the Run, A judge has sentenced the fifty five year old father of a Georgia school shooter to prison. Colin Gray will spend fifteen years behind bars after becoming the first parent in state history to be charged or convicted after their child was accused in a school shooting.
00:11:58
Speaker 2: Now, his son, Colt was fourteen when he shot and killed two students two teachers at Appalachi High School in Georgia. That was two years ago. Colt was sentenced earlier this week to life in prison without the possibility of parole, after pleading guilty to fifty five charges. Wrote every time I see that, what a tragedy upon tragedy, a sixteen year old kid life in prison without the possibility of parole. Yes, he's the shooter. Yes, he's the killer of man. This is just a tragedy to think a teenager you got the next eighty years of your life. That's it.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: Yes, And the judge, the judge yesterday told his father, Colin that he was responsible for sending his son to prison for the rest of his life. That was really powerful. Yes, because Colin gifted the assault rifle used in the school shooting to his son earlier that year, and prosecutors say he ignored warning signs about Colt's obsession with school shooters amid his declining mental health. So yes, he will be behind bars for quite some time.
00:12:53
Speaker 2: All right, folks will stay with us on this Friday morning run when we come back Netflix, they seem to have helpless numbers of movies, but they are being sued for losing one of them. We will explain to that story coming up. Also this morning, how good are you at geography? Well, even if you suck, you was sure, hope the State Department is better than you. They're not.
00:13:28
Speaker 1: Welcome back to your Friday morning run. And next up on the run, this one is absolutely this is pretty good. Netflix is being sued for one hundred and five million dollars for allegedly losing a movie. Yes, this is crazy. A production company out of the UK says they hand delivered an unencrypted copy of their film to Netflix and the streaming service was supposed to then screen the film as a possible buyer of said film.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: But according to the company, Netflix reached out to them and said the drive containing the movie had been stolen. So here's the problem. The company claims the forty five million dollar film is now essentially worthless because robes what company is going to pay them now millions of dollars to the rights to their film that is floating out there in the wind somewhere with an unauthorized copy that somebody could release on the internet anytime they wanted to. Does that make nobody's going to pay money for that?
00:14:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it should be. Netflix should probably just go ahead and say we'll take the movie. Then uh uh huh. Netflix has pushed back, that's not what they've said. Yes, in fact, they've said the opposite. They said, sorry, but it's not our fault. You didn't have proper safeguards in place.
00:14:50
Speaker 2: There's apparently some industry standard for safeguards to suppose to prevent something like this from happening. Even if somebody steal is supposed to be a watermark or something on it to prevent this. He's like, hey, hands off, sorry, we lost it. Are bad, but come on broh.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: Wow. And by the way, this movie is described as a World War to espionage flick starring Nicholas Cage, so this is like a big, highly produced film.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: Forty five million is a budget. Wow, this is incredible. They lost it.
00:15:19
Speaker 1: Goodness, so now you.
00:15:20
Speaker 2: Owe us for making our movie essentially worthless.
00:15:24
Speaker 1: Wow. We'll see what happens with that one. But for the final leg of our run.
00:15:29
Speaker 2: Is this not the favorite story today?
00:15:30
Speaker 1: This is insane?
00:15:31
Speaker 2: This is so wonderful.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: There needs to be a renewed focus on geography in US schools. We all know that, right we as Americans. I bet you most people could not even probably fill out a map of the United States.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: We should do this later. We always talk about this. I think we could, No, we could.
00:15:47
Speaker 1: I would just want to see who could do it fast. Yeah, but our kids. I think this would be a fun, fun little project to see who could get all fifty states. And I'd be I think we'll be pretty embarrassed about how many Americans could do that.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: That's always a thing. We don't know geography here, and there's some stats that back that up. Back.
00:16:05
Speaker 1: Yes, and I was just talking about our country, but I think when you talk about the world, a whole other level. So yes, we as Americans just proved that we just made a very embarrassing geographic snapu on the world stage of.
00:16:22
Speaker 2: All things, of all places. This was at the annual AIDS Conference. It's happening in Rio, but the US was making a presentation, the State Department in particular, and they displayed robes a map of the African nations that the US is partnering with on some particular health initiatives and places that we are helping with particular funding.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: Simple enough, right, So they've got a map of Africa and they've got some countries that are pulled out and highlighted. So those countries, while they were all mislabeled, every single country, they were either shown in the wrong place or with the wrong borders. For example, semple Nigeria was shown as a landlocked country in sub Saharan Africa, like they put it in the middle of the Sahara desert.
00:17:09
Speaker 2: It is not a land locked country and it's certainly not sub Saharan. Let's see where are we here, Cameroon, it borders Nigeria to the east on the map, so Nigeria borders Wait, Cameroon borders Nigeria to the east. It's actually shown west of Nigeria and not bordering it at all. Wow.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: And then say the Ivory Coast, which is in the west, is actually shown in the southeastern part of the continent.
00:17:40
Speaker 2: That one.
00:17:40
Speaker 1: You know, that's crazy because look, I actually understood obviously, and the countries change and I get it. It is a big continent, a lot of countries, but you know where the Ivory Coast is. I can actually see it immediately. That's crazy.
00:17:55
Speaker 2: So even you know where it is way to the in western Africa, it's in the south, Yes, it's in the east on this map. Yes, Robes. This was an embarrassing moment because of the reputation that sometimes we have of being dismissive of and not paying attention to, and certainly this administration even robes efforts in Africa, don't care about that continent, those people, black skin, whatever you want to say, Robes that reputation, and to put this up on the world stage, we're saying we didn't even give a shit enough to get this right in front of the world. Wow.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: The State Department did apologize, They took responsibility for the error and the confusion it caused, and they're blaming it on AI.
00:18:39
Speaker 2: No. Reuters and some journalists were able to point out there's some type of watermark you can look for to know that this was done by AI, and so it seems like somebody hastily threw that together, depended on AI and embarrassed us on a.
00:18:56
Speaker 1: World I cannot believe that no one there was no safeguarden place that no one looked at that and said, wait a minute, I mean, can you imagine just like, imagine that happening to Europe like we would never you know, like, it's just crazy to me that more care and consideration wasn't given.
00:19:15
Speaker 2: That's what it is, Robes. Mistakes can be made. That was care and can That's right. We don't care enough to make sure it's right. Be care enough is worse than us just being because that's a mistake you don't have to make. Even if you don't. I can't point out every country on the continent of Africa, but I can promise you I'll get it right. If I have to make a presentation in front of African.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: Nations, you'll at least double source thing. Yes, please, oh my goodness. All right, And on this Friday, we will leave you with this quote of the day. Happiness lives in three places, letting go of what was, enjoying what is, and trusting what will be.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: You lost me on that last one.
00:19:57
Speaker 1: See you gotta have hold with you part of happiness. Yes, and I anticipation of joy is always something that I try to keep in my heart because it does. Like you tease me when I'm like and you'll even say, what's the next trip? Look, not that you're not living in a moment, but I do think it is important to have something to look forward to as well, and that's part of trusting what will be. So happiness lives in three places, letting go of what was, enjoying what is, and trusting what will be. And with that everyone, we hope you have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: I made me robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Always appreciate your running with us. Talk soon.
