00:00:14
Speaker 3: Sorry, baby, I'm just before we start, I am so effing annoyed and it's it's one of them things.

00:00:21
Speaker 2: I gotta get it worked out.

00:00:23
Speaker 3: We are in the middle of an awful heat wave and these folks at our building, we have had an AC out in our daughter's room for nearly a month in this heat wave, and I am still dealing.

00:00:35
Speaker 2: I was just dealing with some emails. I cannot believe this.

00:00:38
Speaker 3: So I did it right before and I shouldn't have. This is so You're articulous. You're fired hot right now. These folks here, this leasing company, these folks, it's been a month and we have a child without an AC. It's how many degrees today in your ninety eight? Okay, that's all. I don't know if there was a lawyer out there, if there's somebody, Paul Means, give us a call.

00:00:58
Speaker 2: This is this this it's top. I so came in high so Hello, it's Wednesday.

00:01:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's Wednesday.

00:01:03
Speaker 2: It's day man, man, man.

00:01:05
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's uh so, I don't know why I did that. I was going through the lease and emails right before we start.

00:01:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's does not put you in a good.

00:01:13
Speaker 2: Mindset's on me, all right.

00:01:15
Speaker 3: So we're gonna be making several stops today at Housing Court first. We'll also make a stop in Michigan and Florida, Capitol Hill in Dallas, make a stop in the San Francisco Bay as well. But Rodes, I guess we should start. It is what everybody's talking about.

00:01:29
Speaker 1: It.

00:01:30
Speaker 3: We got some significant updates and some significant updates in the number of Cyclospora cases.

00:01:37
Speaker 4: That's right.

00:01:38
Speaker 1: Michigan, which has been the epicenter of the outbreak, is now reporting more than thirty three hundred cases.

00:01:45
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control is.

00:01:47
Speaker 1: Reporting there might be up to seven thousand cases nationwide.

00:01:52
Speaker 3: Still don't know what's causing it. It could be several things causing it. Even they still do not know the source, but they are working on the theory that's salads or lettuce greens could be the culprit here. But the CDC is saying we got up to thirty four states now where we have cases. But some of these clusters might not be connected all to what we're seeing in Michigan. What the sam hell is going on?

00:02:14
Speaker 1: Ah? Yeah, it's confusing and and it's scary because people don't know what they can eat. By the way, please please please check out the episode before this, we talked to a microbiologist who just so happens to be my dad.

00:02:25
Speaker 4: But he answers all of your.

00:02:26
Speaker 1: Questions because we have so many as in what should we be doing, what should we be not doing? So important information for you, if you're interested, please check that out. But meantime, in response to the outbreak, Taco Bell has voluntarily stopped using some of its ingredients.

00:02:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, health officials have not linked, like we said, the outbreak to any particular grower or supplier. They don't know for sure if it's the Lettuce and Sally Greens. They just think it might be, and they haven't linked it to Taco Bell. Still, the company said it had a quote voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure.

00:03:06
Speaker 1: So what ingredients did they remove? Well, the company didn't say in their announcement, but signs have been spotted at Detroit area Taco Bell restaurants that tell customers that lettuce, cilantro onions, pigada gayo, or guacamole are not being served because of quote a national recall.

00:03:25
Speaker 2: There is no national recall. Obviously, they're just.

00:03:28
Speaker 1: Trying to not scare people. But that's funny. It's like all the healthy items in the Taco Bell.

00:03:34
Speaker 4: Roster have all been removed.

00:03:36
Speaker 2: I didn't know they had pico at Taco Bell.

00:03:38
Speaker 4: I didn't either.

00:03:39
Speaker 1: But the Washington Post is reporting, despite what we're hearing from Taco Bell, that health officials are in fact looking into whether Taco Bell is the source.

00:03:49
Speaker 4: Of the outbreak. That is gonna be tough for business.

00:03:52
Speaker 2: Can you imagine Taco Bell?

00:03:54
Speaker 3: You know what, Taco Bell, A lot of jokes are always even before this do.

00:03:58
Speaker 4: With like the lettuce. It was more like the spicy meat.

00:04:02
Speaker 3: But this still kind of goes in line with their brand, if you will. Now, our diarrhea is explosive, not just regular diarrhea. Taco Bell, come on by for the No, that's just I'm just saying. Those jokes have been out there for a long time and folk I know, and talking to your dad, he gave some good perspective. Yes, the headlines are silly and click bait and people are having fun with his explosive. Yes, we get it, but this is a parasite. Most people will get over it. It will be uncomfortable. There have been one hundred and fifty plus hospitalizations according to the CDC rogue, but no one has died, and this is not something that is usually considered to be fatal.

00:04:41
Speaker 1: Yes, my dad said, you aren't gonna die. You might feel like you're going to, but you want, but you won't. All right, Next up on the run, let's stay in the taco theme, because it was another taco Tuesday for President Trump as he once again made a threat, only to take it back on a Tuesday.

00:05:00
Speaker 2: You really liked it. I think you started getting into those few weeks ago.

00:05:03
Speaker 1: Totally into it, because I didn't at first when people started talking about I didn't know what tacos stood for.

00:05:09
Speaker 3: Taco stands for, folks. If you don't know, it's usually trending every every Tuesday. People do it because of actual tacos deals on tacos, and we don't understand that. No, it stands for Trump always chickens out. And this started after his Liberation Day tactics taxes that he said, I'm going to tax everybody, and then he took it back a short time later, and so often rolled he takes back the threat on a Tuesday.

00:05:36
Speaker 1: It's like he wakes up on Monday and starts the week off recod point, good point.

00:05:41
Speaker 4: And then by Tuesday he's like, never.

00:05:42
Speaker 2: Mind, Well, maybe that's it. I didn't think about that. Maybe that's it.

00:05:45
Speaker 1: He's like on a on a mission on Monday morning, and then as regrets.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: A lot of people live life that way.

00:05:53
Speaker 3: But President Trump made a major announcement on Monday Robes that the US with charge companies a twenty percent in order for them to pass through the straight of Hord moves. And then he announced to that on Monday again. He announced that on Monday, big news, and then by Tuesday morning he had already walked that back and said instead, countries called him, Robes said, we'd rather just invest in the US.

00:06:15
Speaker 4: Okay. So Trump now says that the US.

00:06:17
Speaker 1: Won't charge that fee, but countries, yes, are going to invest billions of dollars into the US as a form of payment.

00:06:26
Speaker 2: Huh yeah. And he named some random people.

00:06:29
Speaker 3: He said, some presidents and some emirs and some kings, and some this and that we're calling. And it's vague, who knows if that will ever come to pass. But while he walked back one threat, he issued a new and ominous one robes, this one once again directed at Iran. He said in an interview with Fox News that the US will take out all of Iran's bridges and power plans next week.

00:06:54
Speaker 1: All right, this is exactly verbatim from President Trump. Next week, it gets really bad for them, because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges. We're going to knock out all their power plants. We're going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate.

00:07:13
Speaker 3: We'll get an update on that next Tuesday. Continuing on the run here now, the US did carry out a fourth straight night of heavy strikes against the RN, which once again countered by targeting US assets in the region. Asked yesterday how long this latest series of strikes will continue, the President responded, until I say it's enough.

00:07:31
Speaker 1: Wow, just like my parents probably would have when I was ten.

00:07:36
Speaker 2: All right.

00:07:36
Speaker 1: Also, as promised, the US blockade of the Strait of Hormus went back in place at four pm yesterday. All right, so we're actually going to hear directly from the president here soon. So next up on the run. Yes, the President is scheduled a prime time address to the nation for tomorrow tomorrow night at nine pm, and we now know what the focus will largely be on us election.

00:08:00
Speaker 2: You all stand by for this one. What is this going to be?

00:08:04
Speaker 3: The President tease the speech yesterday by saying it'll be quote really really big news. Also quote a big announcement. And he also said, quote it doesn't get any bigger.

00:08:14
Speaker 4: The biggest announcement ever ever made in US history.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: I just added that. Sorry.

00:08:19
Speaker 3: He also said the speech is going to include some other stuff. We don't know what that other stuff is going to be.

00:08:23
Speaker 2: But this is.

00:08:23
Speaker 3: Supposed to be a big deal having to do with elections. He has asked for. The president is required, he has to ask for. He can't force the networks to give him this time. I wonder what robes. Would a network ever push back and say, you know what, this doesn't rise to the level and you're not just going to take our time so you can promote some false election theories.

00:08:41
Speaker 2: Would they ever push back?

00:08:43
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the thing the content.

00:08:45
Speaker 1: If it is pushing false election theories, that is, that is not what presidential addresses are typically, of course used for, or given air time to utilize.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: I mean, the president's speaking. You have to take it, don't you do you? I mean, yeah, it just has a news organization. The president is making a prime I'm addressed to the nation, and you go, nah, I mean, I guess.

00:09:09
Speaker 1: But if you know he's spreading falsehoods, that's the top. That is a tough position to be in. We will see what happens. But next up on the run, this is a really oh it's such a sad story. At least one person is dead, three others are missing after a pontoon boat capsized near Alcatraz. Authorities say about twenty people were on a boat when it got hit by a major wave and toppled over.

00:09:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, this thing was described Initially I saw robes it was a pontoon boat, and then I saw twenty people on What in the world's going on? But it's described as a cabin cruiser or a three deck pontoon. But sixteen people were rescued. Three were taken to the hospital. And you said, I mean, it's a tragedy no matter what. But the reason they were out there kind of adds to just it pulls out your heart. Here they say that they were on the boat, most of them were from the same family. They were doing some type of memorial service out there.

00:10:00
Speaker 1: They were spreading ashes something like that. So they were remembering a lost family member.

00:10:05
Speaker 2: And now somebody's dead somebody else.

00:10:08
Speaker 4: That's tough, rogue wave. That's so unusual and so tragic, all right.

00:10:13
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Florida carried out its nation leading tenth execution of the year last night, and in doing so, Dennis Soker became the oldest person to ever be executed in that state.

00:10:25
Speaker 3: Soccer was convicted for the nineteen eighty two murder of an eighteen year old. Her name is Patty Gifford. He was pronounced dead at six sixteen pm after being given a lethal injection injection. Now, reportedly we don't have a full readout Robes didn't see this morning of his of his final words, but only that he did say he was deeply sorry to the family, and by the AP's account, they said he said it several times to the family. Now we did say, Ropes, this is a weird back to back to back here in Florida. This guy is now the oldest, the guy before this was the oldest, and the next guy is going to be the oldest.

00:10:58
Speaker 2: Yes to be executed.

00:11:00
Speaker 1: Year old being executed next week for his crime.

00:11:03
Speaker 4: So stay tuned for that.

00:11:05
Speaker 1: Will give you all those details when that execution date comes upon us.

00:11:10
Speaker 2: Next week, right, I think it might be at the end of the month.

00:11:13
Speaker 4: The month end of the month, it might be two weeks, all right. Next up on the run.

00:11:16
Speaker 1: Two deadly ice involved shootings in just one week, and now the administration is making a major change in how ICE does its work.

00:11:25
Speaker 3: That change is essentially the stop making vehicles stops. They're going to stop it for now. It's supposed to be temporary, don't know how long, but roades. We've seen two deadly shootings, one in Houston, one in Maine in the past week. But think back to Minnesota, Renee Good. It seems like so many awful things are happening when they're trying to stop vehicles. So they're just going to stop and review this and have a pause and see where it goes from here.

00:11:49
Speaker 1: But yeah, but of note, the from what I have read, the officers involved in these later shootings weren't wearing body cams.

00:11:56
Speaker 2: They've been pushing back on that.

00:11:58
Speaker 4: That is a major issue.

00:11:59
Speaker 1: If so those officers had body cams on and knew they would be reviewed and could be watched by everyone, they might behave differently.

00:12:06
Speaker 3: But the bad things are happening in these interactions. But again they say, it's just a pause. I don't know if it will end. They still have the authority if they think there's a public threat, if there's an emergency of somebound, they can still stop a vehicle.

00:12:17
Speaker 2: But other than that, supposed the end.

00:12:19
Speaker 4: All right?

00:12:20
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, E Gene Carroll finally just got paid. The writer was awarded five million dollars by a jury back in twenty twenty three, three years ago, when it concluded that there was in fact enough evidence to support her claim that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing group.

00:12:39
Speaker 3: But through a series of court challenges and appeals and the no, no, it's taken this long, she wasn't able to collect the money until now. The court records show that she did get a transfer of five point six two million dollars. Uh, that's interest. So it's been sitting there for so long. It collected another a half million dollars in interest. So five point sixty.

00:12:58
Speaker 4: Two all right?

00:12:58
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, guess what everybody? Republicans and Democrats found an issue to unite over our clocks. The House voted overwhelmingly to make daylight saving time permanent on Tuesday. The measure is appropriately called the Sunshine Protection Act.

00:13:16
Speaker 2: Who who writes these names? Really? Who comes up with the titles of these things?

00:13:20
Speaker 1: Probably the person who authored the sun SI legislation protect, I need to protect sunshine.

00:13:25
Speaker 3: Yes, the Sunshine Protection Act, Yeah, I buy that as much as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, that too was accurate. Okay, for those of you excited about not having to adjust your clocks and your body clock twice a year, this is for you. But the bill doesn't share the same enthusiasm in the Senate. So yes, bro, the House overwhelmingly already, the Senate is going yes.

00:13:49
Speaker 1: So much yes, and President Trump has even thrown his support behind the legislation. He called the ritual a ridiculous twice yearly production and asked who can be against a longer brighter day. Well, apparently at least one Senate Republican is from your home state. Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas is expected to try and block the message.

00:14:10
Speaker 2: My boy, appreciate it. I'm with you, Tom, And.

00:14:13
Speaker 1: According to sources, Cotton is quote far from the only one who objects to the Sunshine Protection Act, And apparently Cotton is going to ask Senate Majority Leader John Thune not to even.

00:14:23
Speaker 4: Bring it up to the Senate floor.

00:14:25
Speaker 2: I sport that I do not.

00:14:27
Speaker 1: We are on opposite sides of the fence on this one. I all for daylight saving time year round.

00:14:33
Speaker 3: I think we are. We're going to get into a real debate about this. We'll have it posted for you here shortly on the feed, But I think we need to fight this one out. And there's some history, and there's some both sides, and has to do with sleep and people whatever. I just like the exercise twice a year.

00:14:47
Speaker 4: You're hilarious, all right. Next up on the run.

00:14:49
Speaker 1: What a moment on Capitol Hill yesterday to see new a new Senator Graham being sworn in. We're talking about Darlene Graham nord Own, the big sister of the late Lindsay Graham. She has officially taken over to fill out or to serve out the rest of his term. She was appointed by the governor after Lindsay Grahm's sudden passing over the weekend. It's still not clear if she is going to seek election for a full term, but you'll have to make her mind up in the coming weeks.

00:15:19
Speaker 2: Oh, she didn't have much time. You get that August eleventh.

00:15:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, how many people I didn't see how many have actually raised their hands there?

00:15:26
Speaker 4: At least I believe were four or five. Nancy Mason markson, I'm there.

00:15:31
Speaker 2: We heard her name first.

00:15:32
Speaker 1: She was the first person to go, uh, yeah, I'm available.

00:15:36
Speaker 2: If the people want me.

00:15:37
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, she said, all right, stay here with us. On this Wednesday morning, run we come back. We get a tough health update from Sully Sullenberger. Yes, the Miracle on the Hudson guy. He gave us a tough update about his health. But he wants to help other people out. Stay tuned for that. Also, what a shocking result in the World Cup yesterday? And why in God's name that somebody just paid fifty million dollars for something that's sixty seven million years old? All right, as supposed to be Robot's turn to pick up here on this Wednesday morning run. But she just let out a pretty nasty cough right before we start, so.

00:16:18
Speaker 1: Thank you for that transparency. Do we have a transparency act here going on?

00:16:23
Speaker 2: You know?

00:16:23
Speaker 3: I started off hot because telling everybody about the air conditioning issues, and I'm gonna should I tell people that I'm sitting here nothing but a robe and a blanket over me?

00:16:30
Speaker 2: Should?

00:16:31
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're going to full disclosure this thing that's also red bull in my little water cup here, don't I don't know. Okay, that'll be enough full disclosure for all right, let.

00:16:40
Speaker 4: Me take over now, please except on the run.

00:16:42
Speaker 1: Captain Sully announced yesterday that he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Chelsea, sorry, Chelsea Sully. Sullenberger became an instant star and a hero, absolute hero when he successfully made that emergency landing on the Hudson after a bird's where I took out the plane's engines shortly after takeoff.

00:17:03
Speaker 3: How soon did folks pick up and start calling at the miracle on the Hudson.

00:17:07
Speaker 4: Wasn't that immediately?

00:17:08
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:17:08
Speaker 4: Immediately, it's increased.

00:17:09
Speaker 2: We look out this window at the Hudson Row.

00:17:11
Speaker 3: We see all kinds of crazy stuff all day long, and you know it's only amount of time before you I mean, just stuff happens.

00:17:17
Speaker 2: It does.

00:17:17
Speaker 3: I can't imagine looking out our window and seeing a commercial jet sitting in that water.

00:17:23
Speaker 1: No, it was quite the sight and quite the miracle. It was appropriately called the Miracle on the Hudson. This was back in two thousand and nine.

00:17:29
Speaker 4: Selly's now seventy five years.

00:17:31
Speaker 1: Old, and he did say his Alzheimer's is in its early stages, but he said he's starting to forget things here and there. He just wants to bring awareness. And look, I've already seen articles about Alzheimer's, what the warning signs are, how you can prevent it, what's being done in research.

00:17:46
Speaker 4: So it is true every.

00:17:47
Speaker 1: Time someone is brave enough because this is this is something, it's humbling, and it's not something when you're dealing with a medical scare or something like this where it's cognitive decline. It's hard to speak up. You don't want people to think of you through that lens. And yet it does bring awareness and so he is once again being heroic and telling people about his conditions.

00:18:12
Speaker 3: That's a good that's a good point to make and we shouldn't just be dismissive when people share their whatever health issues. Broas people are making donations to Alzheimer's organizations today. That wasn't even on their mind yesterday. Because he's talking about this is that is really wonderful and we need more pilots like that given all the issues we've seen lately.

00:18:29
Speaker 2: We need Boks with that skill to be up their mind.

00:18:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, full demeanor, Yes, all right. Next up on the run.

00:18:36
Speaker 1: A pretty stunning and impressive result in yesterday's first World Cup semi final.

00:18:42
Speaker 4: We had a hell of a time watching this one.

00:18:43
Speaker 2: You didn't see this coming? Oh yeah, we had a prop Well, my god, what's going on this week? Yes? The favorite France.

00:18:50
Speaker 3: They have a star studded, triple headed monster of a roster, including Imbappe of course, but they got blanked by Spain to to nothing. They didn't eat been looked like they were in this game. It didn't look competitive for much of it. It was that was the part that was showing.

00:19:06
Speaker 1: It was not the game that anyone was expecting to watch it. I mean Spain, yes, was was not expected to win, but especially not in that fashion.

00:19:16
Speaker 3: But yeah, they have a they call it an ironclad even a wall that they put up. They were so impressive to watch on our iPhones because we went to a French restaurant to watch the World Cup and they're streaming whatever they got going on.

00:19:34
Speaker 2: They couldn't get the game going.

00:19:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, it kept stopping, stopping at one point, so everyone every table that we saw had pulled out their phones and they have all these big screens and everyone is at their table watching.

00:19:46
Speaker 2: Their phone on a damn eyes.

00:19:48
Speaker 1: They ended up getting eight minutes behind it one because that's how delay.

00:19:52
Speaker 2: Yes, and still it wouldn't just it wouldn't keep rolling.

00:19:55
Speaker 3: There was a French flag on our table and we have to watch the summ Hi.

00:20:00
Speaker 2: Final on an iPhone.

00:20:01
Speaker 4: That was crazy that.

00:20:02
Speaker 2: I mentioned the air conditioning is not working.

00:20:04
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think mercury is in retrograde. You love when I say that. But what it means, it just means nothing works.

00:20:11
Speaker 2: Like But does is it tied to something?

00:20:14
Speaker 4: It's yes, it's torculous stars. It's tied to the something with the earth.

00:20:19
Speaker 2: How often does this happen more.

00:20:20
Speaker 1: Than you'd like to hear? A couple times a year. This is fad and I think we're in that face. I'll confirm that later, but yes, I do believe I saw that all right. For the final leg of our run, a mystery bidder has purchased a sixty seven million year old fossil for a record setting price. A t rex fossil nicknamed Guss, what is now the most expensive set of dinosaur bones in the world, selling for fifty point one million dollars.

00:20:48
Speaker 2: How many sets of dinosaur bones are out there?

00:20:50
Speaker 4: There's more than you would think.

00:20:51
Speaker 3: It said, it's set or record something be sold the world's largest and most complete fossils Uesday, beating its old record of forty five million for Apex. That was Stegosaurus fossil that was back in twenty twenty four. You know, stegosauruses don't get enough love out there, I don't think now. Gus is twelve and a half feet tall thirty eight feet long, discovered back in twenty twenty one on a ranch in South Dakota.

00:21:12
Speaker 1: Yes, and the owner of the property actually died while they were excavating the bones, And so I guess he was nicknamed Gus because I believe his name was Gary, but he they gave the.

00:21:23
Speaker 4: T rex his name in honor of him where they found the bones?

00:21:27
Speaker 2: Wait, who gets the money?

00:21:29
Speaker 4: So I'm not really sure about that. I don't know.

00:21:32
Speaker 1: The hope is, though, that whoever purchased it, because I was wondering, where would you put this fossil?

00:21:37
Speaker 4: Like, why would you want it? And what would you do with it?

00:21:40
Speaker 3: Sweetheart, I just paid fifty million for it. Chances are I have a lobby in my house.

00:21:46
Speaker 4: It would look nice in that's hilarious.

00:21:49
Speaker 1: Well, most of these recent major purchases have been then not donated, but they make a long term loan to their local museum. So it's seriousally philanthropic in nature. Previous purchaser purchasers have done that.

00:22:03
Speaker 2: Alanthropic.

00:22:04
Speaker 1: Yes, Apex is on a long term loan to the American Museum of Natural History here in New York.

00:22:09
Speaker 2: Why do you have to buy it to loan it? Whoever had it could have been loaning it.

00:22:12
Speaker 1: I don't understand either, But this is how it's working in the Soughaby world of things, which I know nothing about.

00:22:18
Speaker 2: Sue.

00:22:19
Speaker 4: Another t Rex, actually.

00:22:20
Speaker 1: The first unit's or ever sold at auction, is at a Field Museum in Chicago. Another t Rex that was sold last year I believe is at a museum in Dubai. So most of these owners do then make a long term donation.

00:22:34
Speaker 4: They reserve the right to take it back. But yeah, you gotta have a place for display it.

00:22:38
Speaker 2: I didn't know there were this many t rex.

00:22:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there are actually multiple.

00:22:42
Speaker 1: I didn't get into the weeds, but there are a ton of them, and they almost have all been donated to museums.

00:22:47
Speaker 2: Man, that would be awesome to have in the house, though, you're kidding me. Oh my god.

It will last until July twenty third, So just get ready for disruptions and technical problems and issues with things just not communicating or work. This is what mercury and retrograde means. So see that explains everything.

00:24:32
Speaker 3: Dave, No, it doesn't because the AC went out before the retrograde bs started. So explain that. And with that, folks, hope you have a better Wednesday. No, it's just it set me off at the top. It's set a tone. What I used to say to you every time when I was a little down and my energy was down before we started the show.
