We're going to be making a bunch of stops there's morning, including in Columbia, where the really the scope of a tragedy there is just taking shape. Also, we'll be making a stop in Massachusetts in Vegas, and North Carolina in Liberty Island. Also making a stop in Ohio's seventh District, as well as in Hazard count. But let's start, yes, robes with I guess a death toll that's certainly expected to go up.
00:01:06
Speaker 3: Yes, right now as of this recording.
00:01:08
Speaker 2: At least one hundred and thirty two people are confirmed dead in that powerful earthquake in Columbia. Round the clock efforts continue to try and find survivors in the rubble of dozens of buildings that have collapsed. The seven point four magnitude quake struck the western part of the country. So, yes, this is all still developing, and we'll have updated numbers, I'm sure throughout the week. Unfortunately, as look, there always are those survivor stories.
00:01:34
Speaker 1: Where people are pulled out, and this is very early. Yeah, we'll have them.
00:01:37
Speaker 3: That is what will be. It is taking place right now as we record this.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: I continue on the run here now. The captain of the boat that capsized near the Statue of Liberty this weekend was not licensed and ignored safety protocols. That is according to authorities who have charged the captain for the deaths of the twenty seven year old woman and her five month old dollar who were on.
00:01:59
Speaker 2: That Manuel Hernandez is facing two counts of misconduct and neglect resulting in depth now. Prosecutors say he was carrying fourteen people on a boat that had a maximum allowable capacity of ten. He also reportedly did not have an infant life jacket on board. What a tragedy and unnecessary one. Twelve passengers were rescued, among them the husband, correct in, father of that woman and baby girl.
00:02:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's facing counts of endangerment for all of those passengers as well. Roasse. They said, this is this boat that he was on would have never passed an inspection for a boat that was going to be carrying paying customers. My goodness. So this is Yeah, it's a methan, you know what, it might expose something. There's so many charter groups and which one do you hire? And this one's giving you a better deal and that at So you need to look into this one.
00:02:50
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:02:50
Speaker 2: When you walk around our area, because we're right by some of the ports there or the docks where ferries come in and out of, it's almost like the uber drivers waiting for you at the airport, they'll try to get you to come on this tour, or we'll take you to Staten Island. We'll take It's very similar. So it needs to be regulated much better than it is currently.
00:03:09
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run.
00:03:10
Speaker 2: Yesterday was an extraordinary day of testimony in the Lindsay Clancy.
00:03:13
Speaker 3: Triple murder trial.
00:03:15
Speaker 2: We were riveted the Massachusetts moms pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the strangling deaths of her three young children. Her attorneys say, yes, she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, and.
00:03:27
Speaker 1: We said, extraordinary day. That is really under selling it. This was something to see. The psychiatrist who treated Clancy and the lead up to the killings is doctor Jennifer Tuffs. She was cross examined. They finished with direct last week on Friday, so everybody was anticipating, like the start of the day was going to be the cross examination, and we knew this was a big deal, and it delivered an onslaught of tents, combative and shocking moments. The defense attorney rote immediately he went after her training, her credentials, her experience robes. He just it was a takedown essentially of her credibility as a psychiatrist.
00:04:07
Speaker 3: Yes, he exposed that she had only been licensed for a month.
00:04:11
Speaker 1: That's a shocking statement.
00:04:12
Speaker 2: A month when she started treating Lindsey Clancy. She advertised herself as an expert after having only a month on the job.
00:04:20
Speaker 1: He asked he that was negligent. It was in doing so.
00:04:24
Speaker 3: He eviscerated her.
00:04:25
Speaker 1: He did.
00:04:26
Speaker 2: She was surprised to discover that Clancy had called the suicide hotline twice.
00:04:30
Speaker 1: That was a shocking moment to hear her say, yeah, I didn't know about to sit in court. You were her psychiatrist. It was shocking, it really was.
00:04:38
Speaker 2: And then there was just some back and forth between the two of them about how she wrote a note, and she told him, the defense attorney, that his interpretation was incorrect, and he put as he was walking away from her, under his breath, but loud enough for us all to hear, as opposed to yours.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Oh, it was tense, and that was the end of his cross examination. That's how he ended it.
00:05:01
Speaker 3: Correct. It was it was like watching a movie.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: We're going to have a full recap because we will really get into some of the back and forth that you have to hear to believe. It was remarkable to witness yesterday in court. So look for that after morning run. We'll have it up around eight am Eastern time. We'll have a full recap of the day in court.
00:05:21
Speaker 1: All right, I continue on the run here now. Iran is demanding that the US compensated for war damage before it'll reopen the straight up horror moves. The US response to that, no, you pay us.
00:05:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, President Trump said yesterday he will now demand that Iran compensates the United States, writing, Iran is asking for compensation. It is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran for all the people that they have killed and gravely wounded. Additionally, compensation should be paid to the family of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters that Iran has killed. So, yes, we're in a tit for tat mode that seems to be an unending site.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: It was a weird like child playground like tit for tat. I'm gonna know you compensate us. It seemed like there was no thought given to it, and he just popped off.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, good idea. I'm gonna do the same to you.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it sounded like. Who knows that anybody's going to pay anything the way things have gone, nobody's doing anything. Continuing on the run here Now, I guess we knew this might have been coming, but yes, they are stuck with him now. The deadline came and went yesterday for Republicans Robes to replace Max Miller on the ballots.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we could just put a little aforementioned as predicted, the Ohio Republican, whose name is often preceded by the word embattled, is facing domestic abuse allegations from his ex wife as well as two other women.
00:06:46
Speaker 1: You've noticed that too, right, It's not a good thing. Every time they describe him, they just say embattled congressman. When they start writing your name like that, you're in trouble.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: Yes, we might know what that feels like.
00:06:56
Speaker 2: He was facing increased calls, including from his own party, to get out of the race. He has denied all allegations against him, and yes, he will be on the ballots, all right.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: Next up on the run here now. Seven potential jurors were selected on the first day of the Tupac murder trial. Dwayne Keith Davis is on trial here. He's pleaded not guilty to murder with the deadly weapon, accused of orchestrating the nineteen ninety six killing of the rap Icon by providing the murder weapon, not accused of pulling the trigger himself. Jury selection continues this morning. They need to get sixteen jurors total twelve plus four alternates.
00:07:30
Speaker 3: All right.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, a wild story of presidential deception that was pulled off in front of the world. This is quite the story. The Washington Post is reporting. Air Force One was used as a decoy last month and the world. Even the journalists who were on board didn't realize that the President was not on board with them.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: They've been rolling video of this. You can find online as well of how this happened. But this is really is some mission impossible type stuff here. You'll remember the President went to Turkey for the NATO summit last month. He arrived on the new and controversial Air Force One that Cutter gave him as a gift, but he left on the old Air Force One. You remember that whole thing. They said, Yeah, they sent the new one to some nearby Air Force base, so the soldiers, good, take a look at it. That doesn't make any sense. So he flew out out of Turkey on the old Air Force one. At least that's what we thought. Camera saw him robes climb up the steps of Air Force One in Turkey, wave to everybody he boarded the plane. But what took place is that he got on the plane and he actually was whisked out a side door on the opposite side of that plane. He got into a damn catering truck. Robes that had been lifted up to the side of the plane before the truck. He got into that truck. It lowered him down with a small crew of security and some staff wisked him away to another military jet, and then they flew to London. Air Force one had to go to England first, some kind of way. He got back on Air Force one before he flew back to the United States. But that was what they had roped. It had to be a serious enough Iranian threat that they did all.
00:09:18
Speaker 2: This, and they kept it from everyone because most of the White House staff and the journalists who were on board that Air Force one did not know the President was.
00:09:27
Speaker 3: Not on the plane.
00:09:28
Speaker 1: Pretty good, sir.
00:09:29
Speaker 3: And here's the.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: Other thing, how would you feel about that?
00:09:32
Speaker 3: Not good?
00:09:33
Speaker 2: Here's what they also didn't know the journalists and the White House staff, that they were on a plane being used as a decoy in a possible plot to assassinate the president. There was reportedly get concerned that Iran and its proxies might try to file a missile at Air Force One, so all those folks are on this plane as a decoy, thinking the presidents on board with them. They're on the safest plane in the world. Meantime, the president thought it was so, or at least the president's people thought that plane was one safe.
00:10:00
Speaker 3: They got him the hell off of it. That's alarming.
00:10:05
Speaker 1: I mean, you do there. I mean, I don't know, Robes. They had to run the risk of whatever they have to do, babe, But he's the priority. But that is amazing. That's an extraordinary story. We might need to get into this one a little more later, but it's extraordinary that happened.
00:10:18
Speaker 2: That.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: The video they're showing just kind of highlights. You can see on the oppit. Everybody's on the tarmac doing their thing. Everybody assumed the President's on So you just think the food truck's coming down because they just loaded up food.
00:10:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that plenty of times.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: It is.
00:10:30
Speaker 1: It's pretty extraordinary.
00:10:32
Speaker 3: Woo all right.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, Todd blanche is officially the US Attorney General.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Yes. He was sworn in yesterday at the White House after winning confirmation by an overwhelming vote of fifty to forty nine. He's got a mandate now.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can spend that political capital. Now. Next up on the run, President Trump signed.
00:10:54
Speaker 2: Another childhood vaccine executive order yesterday, But this one is not like the others. It calls for kids to be immunized against fewer diseases.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, CDC officially gives vaccine recommendations. Currently recommends kids get immunized against It's seventeen or eighteen, depending on which count you look at, but up to eighteen diseases. The President's new executive order recommends only eleven. Also suggests certain vaccines be spaced out over several doctor visits. Don't know how much legal weight this holds. Zero Robes. Vaccine policy is set at the local level. Only the local community can say what vaccines are required in school. But Robes again, if you have the federal government saying these aren't, it just leads to confusion. What are we supposed to do? All the vaccines will still be available. We should say that an insurance still should cover. But they're just putting out a different schedule that they want.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: Okay, Next up on the run, We just had the hottest month ever the United States. In July was hotter than any month on record ever in history. The previous record was in July of nineteen thirty six, but records go back as far as eighteen ninety five.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: So what was the record temperature?
00:12:04
Speaker 2: Seventy six point eighty nine degrees that was our average.
00:12:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty Yeah, that's hot. That's kind of high.
00:12:12
Speaker 3: And it includes the highs and the lows.
00:12:14
Speaker 1: Wow, seriously, they said the thing that drow it is our evening highs are lower excuse me, are higher than normal and that kind of is the driver of this. And they say, if you see evening temperatures that are higher, that is a tailtale sign. That's global warring. Wow, that's global warming.
00:12:31
Speaker 2: And we beat the previous record by an eighth of a degree.
00:12:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's almost a full degree though.
00:12:36
Speaker 3: That's so seriously, that's insane.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: Another thing they point to as a big freaking deal. Stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back the newly d crowned or de throned. What's the way to.
00:12:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen d throne, but yeah, I think.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing. She ain't missed North Carolina anymore, but she is not going quietly into that good night playing. Also one of the good Old Boys has died and folks, you still got a chance to win power Ball. It's almost to a billion.
00:13:18
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to your Tuesday Morning run. And newly crowned then dethroned Miss North Carolina has lawyered up. Britney Boltonhouse's new attorney says they have launched an investigation and have already gathered evidence that Pagant officials did not have a legitimate reason to remove her as Miss North Carolina. Pagant officials say they removed her because of a number of incidents of conduct and public statements that were brought to their intentions. Were they statements posts for several years where she dropped the N word extremely casually and often.
00:13:57
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was part of our vocabulary without a question. Who knows in her day to day life how much she used If you could post that you're texting, that she could put it out in public. It was Twitter, right, Yes, of those posts, yes, unbelievable. Okay, so that's what the reason actually was. But no, no, no, no, She claimed in an interview following her removal that the title was taken because of her political views and religious beliefs. So she's taking that stance and she now has a lawyer.
00:14:26
Speaker 3: Here we go, Oh, here we go? All right? Next up on the Run.
00:14:30
Speaker 2: Actor and former US Congressman Ben Jones has died at the.
00:14:34
Speaker 3: Age of eighty four.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: Jones was best known for his role people of a certain generation remember this well as Cooter on Duke's of Hazard.
00:14:43
Speaker 1: Cooter Davenport. Did you ever know his last night?
00:14:46
Speaker 3: His last name? Who needed a last name when your first name is Cooter?
00:14:49
Speaker 1: But he was the mechanic and he was a close ally to Bow and Luke. He helped him out of trouble all the time, and he worked on Yes every single show had a car chase and a car was jumping over. They needed a lot of mechanicals they on that show. But what was the thing? He was always on the CV radio thing break or breaker or breaker one or yeah, Cooder or something anyway, that was his thing. I didn't remember ropes that he was a congressman. I totally forgot.
00:15:13
Speaker 3: I didn't either.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: I totally forgot about that because Couter was just always Couter to me. But Jones has played that role for seven seasons and then soon.
00:15:21
Speaker 3: After the show ended, he ran for Congress to Georgia and won. That does make a lot of sense.
00:15:26
Speaker 2: He served two terms, and according to his family, he died after a heart attack on Sunday. His family noted he was waiting to watch his beloved Atlanta Braves play on TV when he had the heart attack.
00:15:39
Speaker 1: That was something, but well, I grew up with that. We grew up with that. And yes, watch the Hog.
00:15:46
Speaker 2: Daisy Duke's I mean everything. It's so iconic that show. When you're yes, that takes you right back to your childhood.
00:15:52
Speaker 1: Yes, that I was watching a show with a call it a Confederate flag on top.
00:15:56
Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy?
00:15:56
Speaker 1: Rooting for him?
00:15:57
Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy? Were you Bo or a Luke fan?
00:16:02
Speaker 1: I was team bo Who's the blonde?
00:16:04
Speaker 3: And oh John Schneider, that was who I had a little crush on.
00:16:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a bow guy.
00:16:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke fine, and nothing against Luke, but I was a bow girl.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: And the truth is that was probably a daisy. That was probably a daisy. That makes sense, all right?
00:16:16
Speaker 2: And for the final leg of your run, let's talk Powerball. Yes we got our tickets, and no we didn't win, and no nobody else did you. I guess there was like a two million and a one million somewhere in California, Florida. Hey, I would take it, but yeah, so that means the next drawing, which is Wednesday night, I believe nine hundred and seventy five million bucks and it's a four hundred and twenty two million dollar cash option, which is obviously what everyone is going to take, and then you got to pay taxes after that, right, depending on.
00:16:52
Speaker 1: Where you live. Yeah, which state. But yeah, it's now still not in the top ten. It's about in the top fifteenish of all time jackpots. So all the top ten are a billion plus, so we'll keep playing.
00:17:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, duh, all right, And for your Tuesday quote of the day, living your best life means slowing down enough to see how good it already is.
00:17:17
Speaker 1: M okay man, Yeah, I'm my head went somewhere completely different.
00:17:22
Speaker 2: See, because I think we're always thinking, yes, if I get this, when this happens, then my life will be good. And sometimes living your best life means slowing down enough to see how good it already is.
00:17:36
Speaker 1: That Count your Blessings, Yes, that's what it is. It's a count your Blessings quote's and it's one of.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: Those moments where I was talking with Annaly's the other day and you know, we were complaining with something.
00:17:46
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, look around, everybody's healthy.
00:17:49
Speaker 1: We're okay, what were you all complaining about.
00:17:51
Speaker 3: I don't know, she I don't know what.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: It was like, just something silly, and I was like, wait a minute, just put on the brakes, like, you know, there you go that sometimes just that is enough, because when you don't have your health, then nothing else matters. And so yes, sometimes you can just start with the basics, but honestly, there's a lot more to count and we can all look around.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: And feel that joy.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: So living your best life means slowing down enough to see how good it already is.

So look for that after morning run. We'll have it up around eight am Eastern time. We'll have a full recap of the day in court.
00:05:21
Speaker 1: All right, I continue on the run here now. Iran is demanding that the US compensated for war damage before it'll reopen the straight up horror moves. The US response to that, no, you pay us.
00:05:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, President Trump said yesterday he will now demand that Iran compensates the United States, writing, Iran is asking for compensation. It is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran for all the people that they have killed and gravely wounded. Additionally, compensation should be paid to the family of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters that Iran has killed. So, yes, we're in a tit for tat mode that seems to be an unending site.
00:06:04
Speaker 1: It was a weird like child playground like tit for tat. I'm gonna know you compensate us. It seemed like there was no thought given to it, and he just popped off.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, good idea. I'm gonna do the same to you.
00:06:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it sounded like. Who knows that anybody's going to pay anything the way things have gone, nobody's doing anything. Continuing on the run here Now, I guess we knew this might have been coming, but yes, they are stuck with him now. The deadline came and went yesterday for Republicans Robes to replace Max Miller on the ballots.
00:06:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we could just put a little aforementioned as predicted, the Ohio Republican, whose name is often preceded by the word embattled, is facing domestic abuse allegations from his ex wife as well as two other women.
00:06:46
Speaker 1: You've noticed that too, right, It's not a good thing. Every time they describe him, they just say embattled congressman. When they start writing your name like that, you're in trouble.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: Yes, we might know what that feels like.
00:06:56
Speaker 2: He was facing increased calls, including from his own party, to get out of the race. He has denied all allegations against him, and yes, he will be on the ballots, all right.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: Next up on the run here now. Seven potential jurors were selected on the first day of the Tupac murder trial. Dwayne Keith Davis is on trial here. He's pleaded not guilty to murder with the deadly weapon, accused of orchestrating the nineteen ninety six killing of the rap Icon by providing the murder weapon, not accused of pulling the trigger himself. Jury selection continues this morning. They need to get sixteen jurors total twelve plus four alternates.
00:07:30
Speaker 3: All right.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, a wild story of presidential deception that was pulled off in front of the world. This is quite the story. The Washington Post is reporting. Air Force One was used as a decoy last month and the world. Even the journalists who were on board didn't realize that the President was not on board with them.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: They've been rolling video of this. You can find online as well of how this happened. But this is really is some mission impossible type stuff here. You'll remember the President went to Turkey for the NATO summit last month. He arrived on the new and controversial Air Force One that Cutter gave him as a gift, but he left on the old Air Force One. You remember that whole thing. They said, Yeah, they sent the new one to some nearby Air Force base, so the soldiers, good, take a look at it. That doesn't make any sense. So he flew out out of Turkey on the old Air Force one. At least that's what we thought. Camera saw him robes climb up the steps of Air Force One in Turkey, wave to everybody he boarded the plane. But what took place is that he got on the plane and he actually was whisked out a side door on the opposite side of that plane. He got into a damn catering truck. Robes that had been lifted up to the side of the plane before the truck. He got into that truck. It lowered him down with a small crew of security and some staff wisked him away to another military jet, and then they flew to London. Air Force one had to go to England first, some kind of way. He got back on Air Force one before he flew back to the United States. But that was what they had roped. It had to be a serious enough Iranian threat that they did all.
00:09:18
Speaker 2: This, and they kept it from everyone because most of the White House staff and the journalists who were on board that Air Force one did not know the President was.
00:09:27
Speaker 3: Not on the plane.
00:09:28
Speaker 1: Pretty good, sir.
00:09:29
Speaker 3: And here's the.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: Other thing, how would you feel about that?
00:09:32
Speaker 3: Not good?
00:09:33
Speaker 2: Here's what they also didn't know the journalists and the White House staff, that they were on a plane being used as a decoy in a possible plot to assassinate the president. There was reportedly get concerned that Iran and its proxies might try to file a missile at Air Force One, so all those folks are on this plane as a decoy, thinking the presidents on board with them. They're on the safest plane in the world. Meantime, the president thought it was so, or at least the president's people thought that plane was one safe.
00:10:00
Speaker 3: They got him the hell off of it. That's alarming.
00:10:05
Speaker 1: I mean, you do there. I mean, I don't know, Robes. They had to run the risk of whatever they have to do, babe, But he's the priority. But that is amazing. That's an extraordinary story. We might need to get into this one a little more later, but it's extraordinary that happened.
00:10:18
Speaker 2: That.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: The video they're showing just kind of highlights. You can see on the oppit. Everybody's on the tarmac doing their thing. Everybody assumed the President's on So you just think the food truck's coming down because they just loaded up food.
00:10:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that plenty of times.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: It is.
00:10:30
Speaker 1: It's pretty extraordinary.
00:10:32
Speaker 3: Woo all right.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, Todd blanche is officially the US Attorney General.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Yes. He was sworn in yesterday at the White House after winning confirmation by an overwhelming vote of fifty to forty nine. He's got a mandate now.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can spend that political capital. Now. Next up on the run, President Trump signed.
00:10:54
Speaker 2: Another childhood vaccine executive order yesterday, But this one is not like the others. It calls for kids to be immunized against fewer diseases.
00:11:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, CDC officially gives vaccine recommendations. Currently recommends kids get immunized against It's seventeen or eighteen, depending on which count you look at, but up to eighteen diseases. The President's new executive order recommends only eleven. Also suggests certain vaccines be spaced out over several doctor visits. Don't know how much legal weight this holds. Zero Robes. Vaccine policy is set at the local level. Only the local community can say what vaccines are required in school. But Robes again, if you have the federal government saying these aren't, it just leads to confusion. What are we supposed to do? All the vaccines will still be available. We should say that an insurance still should cover. But they're just putting out a different schedule that they want.
00:11:44
Speaker 2: Okay, Next up on the run, We just had the hottest month ever the United States. In July was hotter than any month on record ever in history. The previous record was in July of nineteen thirty six, but records go back as far as eighteen ninety five.
00:12:02
Speaker 3: So what was the record temperature?
00:12:04
Speaker 2: Seventy six point eighty nine degrees that was our average.
00:12:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty Yeah, that's hot. That's kind of high.
00:12:12
Speaker 3: And it includes the highs and the lows.
00:12:14
Speaker 1: Wow, seriously, they said the thing that drow it is our evening highs are lower excuse me, are higher than normal and that kind of is the driver of this. And they say, if you see evening temperatures that are higher, that is a tailtale sign. That's global warring. Wow, that's global warming.
00:12:31
Speaker 2: And we beat the previous record by an eighth of a degree.
00:12:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's almost a full degree though.
00:12:36
Speaker 3: That's so seriously, that's insane.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: Another thing they point to as a big freaking deal. Stay with us here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back the newly d crowned or de throned. What's the way to.
00:12:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I've seen d throne, but yeah, I think.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing. She ain't missed North Carolina anymore, but she is not going quietly into that good night playing. Also one of the good Old Boys has died and folks, you still got a chance to win power Ball. It's almost to a billion.
00:13:18
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to your Tuesday Morning run. And newly crowned then dethroned Miss North Carolina has lawyered up. Britney Boltonhouse's new attorney says they have launched an investigation and have already gathered evidence that Pagant officials did not have a legitimate reason to remove her as Miss North Carolina. Pagant officials say they removed her because of a number of incidents of conduct and public statements that were brought to their intentions. Were they statements posts for several years where she dropped the N word extremely casually and often.
00:13:57
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was part of our vocabulary without a question. Who knows in her day to day life how much she used If you could post that you're texting, that she could put it out in public. It was Twitter, right, Yes, of those posts, yes, unbelievable. Okay, so that's what the reason actually was. But no, no, no, no, She claimed in an interview following her removal that the title was taken because of her political views and religious beliefs. So she's taking that stance and she now has a lawyer.
00:14:26
Speaker 3: Here we go, Oh, here we go? All right? Next up on the Run.
00:14:30
Speaker 2: Actor and former US Congressman Ben Jones has died at the.
00:14:34
Speaker 3: Age of eighty four.
00:14:35
Speaker 2: Jones was best known for his role people of a certain generation remember this well as Cooter on Duke's of Hazard.
00:14:43
Speaker 1: Cooter Davenport. Did you ever know his last night?
00:14:46
Speaker 3: His last name? Who needed a last name when your first name is Cooter?
00:14:49
Speaker 1: But he was the mechanic and he was a close ally to Bow and Luke. He helped him out of trouble all the time, and he worked on Yes every single show had a car chase and a car was jumping over. They needed a lot of mechanicals they on that show. But what was the thing? He was always on the CV radio thing break or breaker or breaker one or yeah, Cooder or something anyway, that was his thing. I didn't remember ropes that he was a congressman. I totally forgot.
00:15:13
Speaker 3: I didn't either.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: I totally forgot about that because Couter was just always Couter to me. But Jones has played that role for seven seasons and then soon.
00:15:21
Speaker 3: After the show ended, he ran for Congress to Georgia and won. That does make a lot of sense.
00:15:26
Speaker 2: He served two terms, and according to his family, he died after a heart attack on Sunday. His family noted he was waiting to watch his beloved Atlanta Braves play on TV when he had the heart attack.
00:15:39
Speaker 1: That was something, but well, I grew up with that. We grew up with that. And yes, watch the Hog.
00:15:46
Speaker 2: Daisy Duke's I mean everything. It's so iconic that show. When you're yes, that takes you right back to your childhood.
00:15:52
Speaker 1: Yes, that I was watching a show with a call it a Confederate flag on top.
00:15:56
Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy?
00:15:56
Speaker 1: Rooting for him?
00:15:57
Speaker 3: Isn't that crazy? Were you Bo or a Luke fan?
00:16:02
Speaker 1: I was team bo Who's the blonde?
00:16:04
Speaker 3: And oh John Schneider, that was who I had a little crush on.
00:16:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a bow guy.
00:16:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke fine, and nothing against Luke, but I was a bow girl.
00:16:11
Speaker 1: And the truth is that was probably a daisy. That was probably a daisy. That makes sense, all right?
00:16:16
Speaker 2: And for the final leg of your run, let's talk Powerball. Yes we got our tickets, and no we didn't win, and no nobody else did you. I guess there was like a two million and a one million somewhere in California, Florida. Hey, I would take it, but yeah, so that means the next drawing, which is Wednesday night, I believe nine hundred and seventy five million bucks and it's a four hundred and twenty two million dollar cash option, which is obviously what everyone is going to take, and then you got to pay taxes after that, right, depending on.
00:16:52
Speaker 1: Where you live. Yeah, which state. But yeah, it's now still not in the top ten. It's about in the top fifteenish of all time jackpots. So all the top ten are a billion plus, so we'll keep playing.
00:17:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, duh, all right, And for your Tuesday quote of the day, living your best life means slowing down enough to see how good it already is.
00:17:17
Speaker 1: M okay man, Yeah, I'm my head went somewhere completely different.
00:17:22
Speaker 2: See, because I think we're always thinking, yes, if I get this, when this happens, then my life will be good. And sometimes living your best life means slowing down enough to see how good it already is.
00:17:36
Speaker 1: That Count your Blessings, Yes, that's what it is. It's a count your Blessings quote's and it's one of.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: Those moments where I was talking with Annaly's the other day and you know, we were complaining with something.
00:17:46
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, look around, everybody's healthy.
00:17:49
Speaker 1: We're okay, what were you all complaining about.
00:17:51
Speaker 3: I don't know, she I don't know what.
00:17:53
Speaker 2: It was like, just something silly, and I was like, wait a minute, just put on the brakes, like, you know, there you go that sometimes just that is enough, because when you don't have your health, then nothing else matters. And so yes, sometimes you can just start with the basics, but honestly, there's a lot more to count and we can all look around.
00:18:11
Speaker 3: And feel that joy.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: So living your best life means slowing down enough to see how good it already is.
