Speaker 2 (00:53):
You got some great em sleep. So yes, we'll start
on the run with something that we talked about much
of the day yesterday because we get word that THEO Huxtable, Yes,
Malcolm Jamal Warner has died at the age of fifty
four in accidental drowning while on vacation in Costa Rica.
The tributes poured in for him all day, but it
was Jamie Fox who might have summed up best how
(01:16):
a lot of us are feeling about the loss. We'll
tell you about that in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Also coming up, locke Ness, a drive through the Highlands
and that Scotch distillery tour. That's all gonna have to
wait as Trump cancels travel plans for one reporter who
thought she was about to head to Scotland aboard Air
Force one.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Not so fast.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, unpack all that stuff you got in there. Also
this morning, it turns out that Sleepy Joe nickname might
have been spot On Biden's son. Yeah, that one has
done an interview and he says his dad was on
ambient we'll explain.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
CBS might not regret its decision to cancel the Late Show,
but they may regret canceling it and leaving Colbert on
the air for the next ten months because, Yeah, the
gloves hilariously came off last night and apparently they're going
to stay off.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yes, So that's gonna be must c TV for ten months.
Also this morning, I remember are prosecutors. They were asking
for a one day prison sentence for the officer convicted
in the death of Breonna Taylor. Well, a judge sentenced
him yesterday to much much more than one day in prison.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And we just got a huge document dump of previously
unreleased MLK files. And doctor King's kids are pleading with
the public handle with care well.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So on the run this morning. First we lost the
blue Light Special layaway has gone away, and now Target
is doing away with one of the last classic customer deals,
the price Match guarantee.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Plus Elon Musk has now expanded his empire to include restaurants.
The first Tesla diner opened yesterday at a very specific time.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It looks kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It looks very cool.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It looks fun. Also this morning, the annual and frankly
incomprehensible obsession is back.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Said from a non coffee drinker, Ris it is oh
is this?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I didn't even realize this was a coffee pumpkin spice
latte that's.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
At a latte has espresso and steamed milk in it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You see where I am on this and why it
annoys me every year. But pumpkin spice Latte. That obsession
is back. But the deal is it's coming back even
earlier this year. Some of you all are excited about it.
Some of us just have a deal.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You know. It's like when you see Christmas tree lights
in September.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know, it's kind of that thing.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Oh, the Christmas music plane.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
The anticipation of the season of fall or Christmas or
whatever that usually gets people excited. It's better than the
actual event itself.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Thrilled.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
All right, Well, we begin this morning run with the
shocking death of a beloved actor, and the tributes continue
to pour in for Malcolm Jamal Warner, the beloved doctor
who we all got to know is theo Huxtable on
The Cosby Show. Sadly and shockingly died on Sunday while
he was on vacation with his family in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, and this news, I guess we got earlier in
the day yesterday, so we had a lot of time
to kind of take it in. And it was just
a devastating loss. But the tribute started to pour in
as well. And I know one person a lot of
folks were looking forward to hearing from was Tracy Ellis Ross,
who starred with alongside Malcolm Jamal Warner in a show
that they had together, and she said this, and I quote,
(04:35):
I love you Malcolm. First I met us THEO with
the rest of the world. Then you were my first
TV husband. My heart is so sad. What an actor
and friend you were, warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant.
You made the world a brighter place. Sending much love
to your family. I'm so sorry for this unimaginable loss.
(04:57):
And we talked yesterday about spending some time with him.
It jumped out of me that she describing him present.
That's like a That is a very straight trait someone
can have to be present and in a moment. Then
for her to include that, that one jumped out to me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, you know what. I hadn't thought about that.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But they always say, you don't remember what people say
or what they do. You remember how you made them feel.
When someone's present, they're with you, they're in the moment,
and there is an energy to those folks.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And it's so nice to.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Hear people remembering him in the way that I think,
at least those of us who only knew him through
a television screen or yeah, a television screen know that
he was the same person that we hoped he was
as he lived in his real life. We also heard
from comedian and actor Eddie Griffin. He said this about
Malcolm Jamal Warner. My heart is heavy right now, Rest easy,
(05:46):
my brother, for you have one in life and now
you've won forever eternal bliss, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I can't remember the name of the show on the
top of my head right now, but they did a
show in which they start alongside each other as well,
not too terribly long after I can't remember how after
the Cosby Show that was, but they did a show together.
But it was Jamie Fox yesterday who said this very
short speechless on this one, rest in power, my brother,
and that was kind of it. We kind of dropped
(06:13):
our jaw. What do you say? Yeah, we immediately started
thinking about the Cosby Show. We immediately started watching old
episodes with him in it. But you're kind of just speechless.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Fifty four, way too young, far too young, too bright
of a light to be dimmed. It really is incredibly sad,
and yeah, we would just encourage everybody. I think so
many of us have not watched The Cosby Show because
of Bill Cosby, but it was really fun to walk
down memory lane and to start watching some of those
episodes again. They still they still are relatable, they're still funny,
(06:45):
they're still so so brilliantly good and just wholesome in
so many ways. So anyway, it's if you have time today,
it's maybe one way to pay tribute to Malcolm Jamal
warn You know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We said it. This was like the thing that unfortunately
it almost feels like it gave us per mission to
watch the show. Yeah, they can watch it for him again. Ah,
rest in peace, my brother. Well, we continue on our
run on this Tuesday morning now, and apparently there are
no free rides aboard Air Force one, especially for the
Wall Street Journal. The White House has booted the journal's
reporter from an upcoming presidential trip to Scotland.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Not a real mystery about why the President just filed
a ten billion dollar lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal
after the outlet published a story that Trump sent a
fiftieth birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein which included a hand
drawn sketch of a naked woman.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So if you're thinking, really, did the President really kicked
this person off because of that, well, we don't have
to speculate about it, folks, because the White House confirmed
why the reporter was removed from the press pool. White
House Press Secretary of Carolyn Levitt said, quote, due to
the Wall Street Journal's fake and defamatory conduct, they will
not be one of the thirteen outlets on board.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The White House Correspondence Association called the move by the
White House trumbling, saying that it was punishing a media
outlet for coverage it doesn't like.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, yeah, duh, And they've done it before.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Remember the ap when they wouldn't call the Golf of
America the Golf of America. They kept saying it was
the Golf of Mexico, and so they were banned.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
From the Oval Office. Are they allowed back in now?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I can't remember. They were in court in the back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I mean, this is obviously not the first time
and certainly will not be the last time the President
does this.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
All right, We continue on the run now with Hunter Biden.
He has offered an explanation for his father's disastrous debate
performance that effectively ended his political career. He says ambient
might be to blame rogues.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That's right, Biden told YouTube host Andrew Callaghan. I'm going
to quote Hunter Biden here. I'll tell you what I
know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around
the world, basically in the mileage that he could have
flown around the world three times. He's eighty one years old,
he's tired as shit. They gave him ambient to be
to sleep. He gets up on stage and he looks
(09:02):
like a deer in headlights, and it feeds into every
effing story that anybody wants to tell.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Sory that is an that's incredible insight. We all looked
and thought, what is wrong with him? Something's not right.
That debate performance was awful and everybody acknowledges that, and
that's fine. But the explanation is that he was on
ambient possibly at the time.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Like an ambient hangover. Maybe it was like had residual effects.
I mean, I think, look, I've had an advil PM
hangover before.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Don't know if that well, no, I do know. It
didn't help the conversation.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
See that statement, that quote is almost a bit of
a political earthquake. What if we had known that at
the time, tell us immediately, well, you know, he was
on ambient, we go, okay, makes a little more sense.
We'll catch him on the next one. But he didn't
do that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Does he know what he just But do you want
to think that you're the president of the United States
is knocked out on ambient like here, that's a whole
other issue. Aren't they supposed to be available? And if
something were to have happened, some mass tragedy, you should
be able to wake up for the president and say, hey,
can you make a very important life altering decision here?
(10:12):
And if you're on ambient, if anyone I've had it,
I've taken it one time in my life and it's
so scary.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I will never do it again, just personally. It was
not for me.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You are not capable of functioning. Okay, So should the
President of the United States ever take ambien?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I say no, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So this sparked already, this conversation with me and you,
and you know what. Biden had to come back and
explain what he said. He had to qualify his comments.
He spoke to ABC News, explaining that he wasn't saying
his father was taking ambient immediately before the debate, but
rather he was pointing out that his father had a
hectic travel schedule leading up to the debate. What, okay,
(10:53):
that's all clear. No, I don't want to think of
my president on ambient, but I see my president performing
like that, I would like an explanation for us.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Okay, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
And also Hunter insisted there was no cover up of
his father's mental condition, saying that again quoting him here,
if this was a conspiracy somehow, the entirety of a
white house in which you literally live on top of
each other, has kept their mouth shut about you know,
what's the conspiracy that Joe Biden got old?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, he got old. He got old before our eyes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, too bad. Hunter wasn't out there on the campaign
trail for daddy.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
What it was a three hour interview. I got probably
one that the Biden folks wished all three hours could
be erased.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
All right, we could tell you what the run on
this Tuesday morning now, and if last night was any indication,
then the next ten months of The Late Show with
Stephen Gobert might be must see television. Last night was
the first show since the announcement that CBS would be
canceling The Late Show when Colbert's contract ends next May,
and he gave a hint robe last night a what's
to come?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He started with cancel culture as go on too far
over the weekend. It sunk in that they're killing off
our show.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But they made one mistake.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
They left me alive. Then he has a close up
into the camera. He dramatically takes his glasses off and says,
now for the next ten months, the gloves are off.
I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say
what I really feel about Donald Trump starting right now,
got to camera, dramatic pause.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I don't care for him.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Doesn't seem to have the skill set to be president.
Just not a good fit, that's all.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
That was a good line because he was dead pan
and kind of calm and saying we were ready for
this build up of him to explode about something. He said, Noah,
I just don't care for the guy. Yeah, as if
that was it. He did point out the reports about
his show losing money, and he said, quote, how could
it purely be a financial decision if the late show
is number one in ratings? Said it's confusing a lot
(12:52):
of folks are asking that question, mainly my staff's parents
and spouses, see, that's actually funny how he did it.
But he went on make another jo. But it was
a very serious topic here, and I appreciate how he
did this. He accused CBS of being the ones responsible
for some of the negative headlines about how much his
show was losing.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, Colbert said this over the weekend. Someone at CBS
followed up their gracious press release with a gracious anonymous
leak saying they pulled the plug on our show because
of losses pegged between forty million and fifty million dollars
a year. Forty million is a big number. I could
see us losing twenty four million dollars, but where would
Paramount possibly spend the other sixteen?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh yeah, that's good. That was really good.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's good stuff. Now, he addressed Trump's social media posts
in which he called Colbert untalented and celebrated Colbert's cancelation.
Colbert said to that would an untalented man be able
to compose the following satirical witticism, go fuck yourself. He
looked into the camera and said that to the president
last night. Now, with speculation from Trump that Kimmel could
(14:00):
be canceled, Next, he said, quote no, I'm the martyr.
There's only room for one on this cross, and I
gotta tell you the view is great. From up here.
You can tell he's much looser, and he will be looser.
Not to say he was that restrained before, but now
he can say, whatever, what are you going to do?
Fire me?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He truly can do whatever he wants, all right. Next
up on the Run, a former police officer has been
sentenced to thirty three months in prison in connection with
the death of Breonna Taylor. Prosecutors were seeking just a
one day prison sentence for Brett Hankinson, saying he wasn't
a threat to the public after his conviction for violating
Taylor's rights in that botched twenty twenty raid.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, but the judge yesterday called the recommendation of one
day in jail inappropriate. She even went as far as
calling the government's argument incongruous. She was centerally saying what
y'all are arguing doesn't make any sense now. Hankerson and
two other officers fired into the home while serving a
no knock warrant where Taylor and her boyfriend were sleeping.
Her boyfriend, thinking they were intruders, fired one shot. Officers
(15:03):
fired dozens of rounds into the home, killing Taylor.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Hankinson fired at least ten times blindly through a window,
but hit no one. Hankinson is now the only person
sentenced to jail time in Taylor's killing, which set off
nationwide protests over police brutality. He's the only one sentenced,
and he's the one who didn't actually hit her.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yes he is. Bullets went through the next to the
next apartment. Nobody was hit as all.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
None of that makes sense to me, Not one single
thing about any of that makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He got in trouble essentially for violating her rights by
being a threat to her. If he had actually shot her,
he wouldn't have been convicted. That's wild to think, mind flying,
but one person finally convicted and going to prison for that.
But say with us here on this Tuesday morning run.
When we come back, it is four to twenty. Time
to head to Elon Musk's new restaurants. Also coming up,
(15:58):
Doctor Martin Luther King Junior's kids are pleading with the
public to be gentle, to be kind with the two
hundred plus thousand new pages of documents about their dad
that were just released. Hey, folks, let's continue on this
(16:20):
Tuesday morning run now and hundreds of thousands of files
related to MLK were just released by the Trump administration,
and the late civil rights leader's family is pleading with
the public. The files include two hundred thousand plus pages
that have been sealed since nineteen seventy seven, with details
about the FBI's investigation of the MLK assassination, material about
(16:41):
potential leads the FBI followed, and so on.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's unclear right now just how much new, potentially explosive
information is contained in this huge digital dump. King's family
got a heads up and early access to the files
and put out a lengthy statement cautioning that new information
needed to be viewed through historical context. This is part
of the quote from the King family. His tragic death
(17:06):
has been an intensely personal grief and devastating loss for
his wife, children, and the granddaughter he never met. An absence,
an absence our family has endured for over fifty seven years.
We ask those who engage with these release of these
files to do so with the empathy, restraint, and respect
for our family's continuing grief.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
President Trump signed You'll remember an executive order earlier this
year calling for the declassification of records related to the
assassination of JFK, RFK, and MLK. The JFK and RFK
files were released in recent months, but the family again
this was put out by his by his kids, Vernice
and Martin the third saying quote, we strongly condemn any
(17:49):
attempt to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine
our father's legacy and the significant achievements of the movement movement.
You can take that to mean all kinds of things there.
But they are already thinking that someone is going to
try to find something in here and chip away at
the legacy. We all at this point seem to have
(18:10):
a pretty good handle on.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I mean, we don't know what's in these documents, but
certainly they don't like some of what is document They went.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
On to say, those who promote the fruit of the
FBI's surveillance will unknowingly align themselves with an ongoing campaign
to degrade our father and the civil rights movement. It
is amazing, sixty plus years later, like his legacy is
still being fought over, like we're about to have They're
setting us up almost like something is coming.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Well, the family repeated their belief the Doctor King was
not killed by a lone gunman, but that the assassination
was part of a larger conspiracy, saying, we will assess
whether the files offer additional insights beyond the finding our
family has allready accepted. And Bernice, by the way, went
on to her private Instagram page showed a picture of
her father and just said, now do the Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And the picture went in perfectly in line with what
she was saying. It was a picture of MLK almost
had a sarcastic look on his face, like come on,
it a really cool picture of him. But she added that,
but a lot of folks are saying the thing you
have been saying, Robes is that this is just another
distraction from Epstein. Of course, like he's just giving us something.
What was it, the wag the dog, the football team
(19:23):
and the baseball team. You want them to change their names.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Back, He's just us.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, he's been going to town on true social on
social media. I mean he does oftentimes, but this has
been particularly active.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yes, we continue on the run here now with the
non Trump story. Target is ending its price match guarantee.
You only have about a week to take advantage of
the policy that's been in place now for more than
a decade.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The policy states will match the price if you buy
a qualifying item at Target and then find the identical
item for less at Target dot Com, Amazon, Walmart, et cetera.
That policy will now change to say they'll match prices
at other Targets store or Target dot Com. You can
also get a price match on items that drop in
price within fourteen days of your purchase at Target.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes, so we'll match everything at our store.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yes, we'll match our own prices. Yes, you're welcome. Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
The company claims they're doing this because their data shows
that most of the customers don't use this anyway to
match from other stores. They say they only match other
Target stores anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I'm sorry, but if that were the case, they wouldn't
need to make this change in policy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
We just leave it in place, correct.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Why do you need to change the policy if that's
what people are using it for anyway?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Because they've been taking as the financial hits and they've
been taking some public hits.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
We just would appreciate the transparency.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I would appreciate it if Target just said, hey, this
is killing us we're barely holding on.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
We can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Bear with us and accept the fact that we're going
to set our prices, and we hope you like them.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Periods.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, Next up on the run, we're going to
head to La. We're at exactly four to twenty. Yesterday afternoon,
Elon Musk opened his long anticipated Tesla diner. Fans began
lining up early and waited for hours and hours. No
one knew exactly when the diner was going to open.
Musk waiting for the clock to make a marijuana reference
before opening the gates.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Okay, and how do you pull this off? Retro and futuristic?
But that's what is being described as has a drive
in movie theater. Two massive screens connect to your Tesla speakers.
Now drivers can also charge their Teslas while they eat
and watch what's on. This was cool. They had the
Jetsons playing. I thought it was gonna be a movie
or something that make a futuristic Yeah, that is fantastic now.
(21:34):
The diner patrons also were greeted by a humanoid robot
named Optimus, who served popcorn and posed for selfies.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes, and the diner has waiters on roller skates. Thus
the retro kind of feel, cyber trucked theme food containers,
and the menu has diner staples like fried chicken and waffles,
grilled cheese. They have a Tesla burger with electric sauce that.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Even mean must says he plans to open Tesla diners
in major cities around the world, complete with super charger sites,
calling the diners and island of good food, good vibes,
and entertainment all while super charging. The diner is going
to be open twenty four seventh. This is smart, right,
People are always looking for somewhere to plug in, I
can eat, watch a movie, be entertained, what my car's charged.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
It's super smart, it is, and it was a big
hit yesterday. People were lined up just to get a
taste and a just a glimpse of what this.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Diner actually was.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
All Right, for the final leg of our run, it's
almost fall y'all with scorching temperatures and a heat dome
in the South and Midwest. Starbucks announces it's pumpkin spice
Latte season in a matter of weeks.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, fall begins when September twenty second? Do we have
to do this? Is this a real thing? You put
in the script PSL.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
They call PSL.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yes, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yes, it's a PSL.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I refuse. Even though fall doesn't officially begin until September
twenty second, Pumpkin spice lattes will be back nearly a
full month earlier on August twenty six, and, according to
Google trends, the desire for pumpkin spice latte but again
in mid June this year, where there was an uptick
in search US with a drink a full month earlier
than the year before. The coffee chain is also revealing
(23:06):
a few new fall menu items to get everyone into
those autumn fields. Why we have to go there. It's hot,
it's summer.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Let's enjoy because people always want the next thing, right,
we can't be present, we can't be in the moment.
We have to think about what we want next. That's
this is such a part of our problem individually and
societally speaking.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
But anyway, speaking of.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Fall, there will be a new pecan quartado that's a
drink with a one to one ratio of espresso to
steam milk and a pecan flavoring. An additional in addition
to the traditional PSL, there will also be the return
of the pumpkin cream cold brew iced pumpkin cream chai
and pecan crunch oatmeal latte. You know, Sabine's gonna be
(23:48):
trying all this stuff out.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
What's a cortado.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
It's it's just the ratio of steamed milk to espresso,
so it's half and half.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But it's a thing. It's my first time seeing.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, cartato versus a latte versus a cap chino.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Something i'd order at a Mexican place.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'll have cortatos please, Nope, it is.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It is.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I think it's Italian.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Actually, all right, Well, before you get going, it's something
we'd like for you to consider. It is a very
special I love you grab this one, Robes. This is
very very good, something we can all use, and it's
awfully timely. But it is our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yes, from the late and great and aforementioned Martin Luther
King Junior. He has so many quotes. It actually took
me so long to try and find the one I
wanted for today, But here it is for you. Forgiveness
is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude.
That really hit me today because I think we try to. Okay,
(24:43):
I'm gonna forgive this. I'm gonna forgive that. It takes
me a while, but I guess I can forgive him
or her on that. No, it is a permanent attitude.
Isn't that life changing when you think about it like
that instead of on a case by case basis.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Actually it sounds more daunting because it's not a case
by case basis. I need to actually change my view
of it and how I behave That sounds like more
of a daunting sounds.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Like I got freeing. I think it's freeing.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Though, if you make a decision, I am not going
to hold onto grudges. I am not gonna be a victim.
I am going to just forgive people for they know
not what they do, or even if they know what
they do, I'm not going to hold it against them,
and I'm not going to let it weigh me down.
I think it's actually freedom. But yes, it takes work
and it's really hard to do. But once you kind
(25:29):
of get into that mindset and you say, hey, this
isn't just a one off, this is a forever thing.
I've never thought about it like this. I've never seen
this quote before.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well, folks, take this one with you today. It is
a great one. Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it
is a permanent attitude. And with that, I pray you
will forgive my attitude about pumpkin spice latte. It's just
not my thing, but I'm going to try to do better.
I'm TJ.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Holmes, I'm Amy Robke. Have a great Tuesday.

How was your Monday? Good start of the week? We

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, Yeah, we go.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Through yes and my sleep score shows that I should

And I saw you had a good one.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Too, And is it showing up? Does it feel that way?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yes? Right now, I can see the energy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You got some great em sleep. So yes, we'll start
on the run with something that we talked about much
of the day yesterday because we get word that THEO Huxtable, Yes,
Malcolm Jamal Warner has died at the age of fifty
four in accidental drowning while on vacation in Costa Rica.
The tributes poured in for him all day, but it
was Jamie Fox who might have summed up best how
(01:16):
a lot of us are feeling about the loss. We'll
tell you about that in just a moment.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Also coming up, locke Ness, a drive through the Highlands
and that Scotch distillery tour. That's all gonna have to
wait as Trump cancels travel plans for one reporter who
thought she was about to head to Scotland aboard Air
Force one.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Not so fast.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, unpack all that stuff you got in there. Also
this morning, it turns out that Sleepy Joe nickname might
have been spot On Biden's son. Yeah, that one has
done an interview and he says his dad was on
ambient we'll explain.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
CBS might not regret its decision to cancel the Late Show,
but they may regret canceling it and leaving Colbert on
the air for the next ten months because, Yeah, the
gloves hilariously came off last night and apparently they're going
to stay off.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yes, So that's gonna be must c TV for ten months.
Also this morning, I remember are prosecutors. They were asking
for a one day prison sentence for the officer convicted
in the death of Breonna Taylor. Well, a judge sentenced
him yesterday to much much more than one day in prison.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And we just got a huge document dump of previously
unreleased MLK files. And doctor King's kids are pleading with
the public handle with care well.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So on the run this morning. First we lost the
blue Light Special layaway has gone away, and now Target
is doing away with one of the last classic customer deals,
the price Match guarantee.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Plus Elon Musk has now expanded his empire to include restaurants.
The first Tesla diner opened yesterday at a very specific time.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It looks kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It looks very cool.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It looks fun. Also this morning, the annual and frankly
incomprehensible obsession is back.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Said from a non coffee drinker, Ris it is oh
is this?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I didn't even realize this was a coffee pumpkin spice
latte that's.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
At a latte has espresso and steamed milk in it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You see where I am on this and why it
annoys me every year. But pumpkin spice Latte. That obsession
is back. But the deal is it's coming back even
earlier this year. Some of you all are excited about it.
Some of us just have a deal.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You know. It's like when you see Christmas tree lights
in September.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
You know, it's kind of that thing.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Oh, the Christmas music plane.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
The anticipation of the season of fall or Christmas or
whatever that usually gets people excited. It's better than the
actual event itself.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Thrilled.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
All right, Well, we begin this morning run with the
shocking death of a beloved actor, and the tributes continue
to pour in for Malcolm Jamal Warner, the beloved doctor
who we all got to know is theo Huxtable on
The Cosby Show. Sadly and shockingly died on Sunday while
he was on vacation with his family in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, and this news, I guess we got earlier in
the day yesterday, so we had a lot of time
to kind of take it in. And it was just
a devastating loss. But the tribute started to pour in
as well. And I know one person a lot of
folks were looking forward to hearing from was Tracy Ellis Ross,
who starred with alongside Malcolm Jamal Warner in a show
that they had together, and she said this, and I quote,
(04:35):
I love you Malcolm. First I met us THEO with
the rest of the world. Then you were my first
TV husband. My heart is so sad. What an actor
and friend you were, warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant.
You made the world a brighter place. Sending much love
to your family. I'm so sorry for this unimaginable loss.
(04:57):
And we talked yesterday about spending some time with him.
It jumped out of me that she describing him present.
That's like a That is a very straight trait someone
can have to be present and in a moment. Then
for her to include that, that one jumped out to me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, you know what. I hadn't thought about that.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
But they always say, you don't remember what people say
or what they do. You remember how you made them feel.
When someone's present, they're with you, they're in the moment,
and there is an energy to those folks.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
And it's so nice to.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Hear people remembering him in the way that I think,
at least those of us who only knew him through
a television screen or yeah, a television screen know that
he was the same person that we hoped he was
as he lived in his real life. We also heard
from comedian and actor Eddie Griffin. He said this about
Malcolm Jamal Warner. My heart is heavy right now, Rest easy,
(05:46):
my brother, for you have one in life and now
you've won forever eternal bliss, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I can't remember the name of the show on the
top of my head right now, but they did a
show in which they start alongside each other as well,
not too terribly long after I can't remember how after
the Cosby Show that was, but they did a show together.
But it was Jamie Fox yesterday who said this very
short speechless on this one, rest in power, my brother,
and that was kind of it. We kind of dropped
(06:13):
our jaw. What do you say? Yeah, we immediately started
thinking about the Cosby Show. We immediately started watching old
episodes with him in it. But you're kind of just speechless.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Fifty four, way too young, far too young, too bright
of a light to be dimmed. It really is incredibly sad,
and yeah, we would just encourage everybody. I think so
many of us have not watched The Cosby Show because
of Bill Cosby, but it was really fun to walk
down memory lane and to start watching some of those
episodes again. They still they still are relatable, they're still funny,
(06:45):
they're still so so brilliantly good and just wholesome in
so many ways. So anyway, it's if you have time today,
it's maybe one way to pay tribute to Malcolm Jamal
warn You know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We said it. This was like the thing that unfortunately
it almost feels like it gave us per mission to
watch the show. Yeah, they can watch it for him again. Ah,
rest in peace, my brother. Well, we continue on our
run on this Tuesday morning now, and apparently there are
no free rides aboard Air Force one, especially for the
Wall Street Journal. The White House has booted the journal's
reporter from an upcoming presidential trip to Scotland.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Not a real mystery about why the President just filed
a ten billion dollar lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal
after the outlet published a story that Trump sent a
fiftieth birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein which included a hand
drawn sketch of a naked woman.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So if you're thinking, really, did the President really kicked
this person off because of that, well, we don't have
to speculate about it, folks, because the White House confirmed
why the reporter was removed from the press pool. White
House Press Secretary of Carolyn Levitt said, quote, due to
the Wall Street Journal's fake and defamatory conduct, they will
not be one of the thirteen outlets on board.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
The White House Correspondence Association called the move by the
White House trumbling, saying that it was punishing a media
outlet for coverage it doesn't like.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, yeah, duh, And they've done it before.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Remember the ap when they wouldn't call the Golf of
America the Golf of America. They kept saying it was
the Golf of Mexico, and so they were banned.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
From the Oval Office. Are they allowed back in now?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I can't remember. They were in court in the back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I mean, this is obviously not the first time
and certainly will not be the last time the President
does this.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
All right, We continue on the run now with Hunter Biden.
He has offered an explanation for his father's disastrous debate
performance that effectively ended his political career. He says ambient
might be to blame rogues.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That's right, Biden told YouTube host Andrew Callaghan. I'm going
to quote Hunter Biden here. I'll tell you what I
know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around
the world, basically in the mileage that he could have
flown around the world three times. He's eighty one years old,
he's tired as shit. They gave him ambient to be
to sleep. He gets up on stage and he looks
(09:02):
like a deer in headlights, and it feeds into every
effing story that anybody wants to tell.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Sory that is an that's incredible insight. We all looked
and thought, what is wrong with him? Something's not right.
That debate performance was awful and everybody acknowledges that, and
that's fine. But the explanation is that he was on
ambient possibly at the time.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Like an ambient hangover. Maybe it was like had residual effects.
I mean, I think, look, I've had an advil PM
hangover before.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Don't know if that well, no, I do know. It
didn't help the conversation.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
See that statement, that quote is almost a bit of
a political earthquake. What if we had known that at
the time, tell us immediately, well, you know, he was
on ambient, we go, okay, makes a little more sense.
We'll catch him on the next one. But he didn't
do that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Does he know what he just But do you want
to think that you're the president of the United States
is knocked out on ambient like here, that's a whole
other issue. Aren't they supposed to be available? And if
something were to have happened, some mass tragedy, you should
be able to wake up for the president and say, hey,
can you make a very important life altering decision here?
(10:12):
And if you're on ambient, if anyone I've had it,
I've taken it one time in my life and it's
so scary.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I will never do it again, just personally. It was
not for me.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You are not capable of functioning. Okay, So should the
President of the United States ever take ambien?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I say no, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So this sparked already, this conversation with me and you,
and you know what. Biden had to come back and
explain what he said. He had to qualify his comments.
He spoke to ABC News, explaining that he wasn't saying
his father was taking ambient immediately before the debate, but
rather he was pointing out that his father had a
hectic travel schedule leading up to the debate. What, okay,
(10:53):
that's all clear. No, I don't want to think of
my president on ambient, but I see my president performing
like that, I would like an explanation for us.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Okay, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
And also Hunter insisted there was no cover up of
his father's mental condition, saying that again quoting him here,
if this was a conspiracy somehow, the entirety of a
white house in which you literally live on top of
each other, has kept their mouth shut about you know,
what's the conspiracy that Joe Biden got old?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, he got old. He got old before our eyes.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Well, too bad. Hunter wasn't out there on the campaign
trail for daddy.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
What it was a three hour interview. I got probably
one that the Biden folks wished all three hours could
be erased.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
All right, we could tell you what the run on
this Tuesday morning now, and if last night was any indication,
then the next ten months of The Late Show with
Stephen Gobert might be must see television. Last night was
the first show since the announcement that CBS would be
canceling The Late Show when Colbert's contract ends next May,
and he gave a hint robe last night a what's
to come?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He started with cancel culture as go on too far
over the weekend. It sunk in that they're killing off
our show.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But they made one mistake.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
They left me alive. Then he has a close up
into the camera. He dramatically takes his glasses off and says,
now for the next ten months, the gloves are off.
I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say
what I really feel about Donald Trump starting right now,
got to camera, dramatic pause.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I don't care for him.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Doesn't seem to have the skill set to be president.
Just not a good fit, that's all.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
That was a good line because he was dead pan
and kind of calm and saying we were ready for
this build up of him to explode about something. He said, Noah,
I just don't care for the guy. Yeah, as if
that was it. He did point out the reports about
his show losing money, and he said, quote, how could
it purely be a financial decision if the late show
is number one in ratings? Said it's confusing a lot
(12:52):
of folks are asking that question, mainly my staff's parents
and spouses, see, that's actually funny how he did it.
But he went on make another jo. But it was
a very serious topic here, and I appreciate how he
did this. He accused CBS of being the ones responsible
for some of the negative headlines about how much his
show was losing.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yes, Colbert said this over the weekend. Someone at CBS
followed up their gracious press release with a gracious anonymous
leak saying they pulled the plug on our show because
of losses pegged between forty million and fifty million dollars
a year. Forty million is a big number. I could
see us losing twenty four million dollars, but where would
Paramount possibly spend the other sixteen?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh yeah, that's good. That was really good.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
That's good stuff. Now, he addressed Trump's social media posts
in which he called Colbert untalented and celebrated Colbert's cancelation.
Colbert said to that would an untalented man be able
to compose the following satirical witticism, go fuck yourself. He
looked into the camera and said that to the president
last night. Now, with speculation from Trump that Kimmel could
(14:00):
be canceled, Next, he said, quote no, I'm the martyr.
There's only room for one on this cross, and I
gotta tell you the view is great. From up here.
You can tell he's much looser, and he will be looser.
Not to say he was that restrained before, but now
he can say, whatever, what are you going to do?
Fire me?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
He truly can do whatever he wants, all right. Next
up on the Run, a former police officer has been
sentenced to thirty three months in prison in connection with
the death of Breonna Taylor. Prosecutors were seeking just a
one day prison sentence for Brett Hankinson, saying he wasn't
a threat to the public after his conviction for violating
Taylor's rights in that botched twenty twenty raid.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, but the judge yesterday called the recommendation of one
day in jail inappropriate. She even went as far as
calling the government's argument incongruous. She was centerally saying what
y'all are arguing doesn't make any sense now. Hankerson and
two other officers fired into the home while serving a
no knock warrant where Taylor and her boyfriend were sleeping.
Her boyfriend, thinking they were intruders, fired one shot. Officers
(15:03):
fired dozens of rounds into the home, killing Taylor.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Hankinson fired at least ten times blindly through a window,
but hit no one. Hankinson is now the only person
sentenced to jail time in Taylor's killing, which set off
nationwide protests over police brutality. He's the only one sentenced,
and he's the one who didn't actually hit her.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yes he is. Bullets went through the next to the
next apartment. Nobody was hit as all.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
None of that makes sense to me, Not one single
thing about any of that makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He got in trouble essentially for violating her rights by
being a threat to her. If he had actually shot her,
he wouldn't have been convicted. That's wild to think, mind flying,
but one person finally convicted and going to prison for that.
But say with us here on this Tuesday morning run.
When we come back, it is four to twenty. Time
to head to Elon Musk's new restaurants. Also coming up,
(15:58):
Doctor Martin Luther King Junior's kids are pleading with the
public to be gentle, to be kind with the two
hundred plus thousand new pages of documents about their dad
that were just released. Hey, folks, let's continue on this
(16:20):
Tuesday morning run now and hundreds of thousands of files
related to MLK were just released by the Trump administration,
and the late civil rights leader's family is pleading with
the public. The files include two hundred thousand plus pages
that have been sealed since nineteen seventy seven, with details
about the FBI's investigation of the MLK assassination, material about
(16:41):
potential leads the FBI followed, and so on.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's unclear right now just how much new, potentially explosive
information is contained in this huge digital dump. King's family
got a heads up and early access to the files
and put out a lengthy statement cautioning that new information
needed to be viewed through historical context. This is part
of the quote from the King family. His tragic death
(17:06):
has been an intensely personal grief and devastating loss for
his wife, children, and the granddaughter he never met. An absence,
an absence our family has endured for over fifty seven years.
We ask those who engage with these release of these
files to do so with the empathy, restraint, and respect
for our family's continuing grief.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
President Trump signed You'll remember an executive order earlier this
year calling for the declassification of records related to the
assassination of JFK, RFK, and MLK. The JFK and RFK
files were released in recent months, but the family again
this was put out by his by his kids, Vernice
and Martin the third saying quote, we strongly condemn any
(17:49):
attempt to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine
our father's legacy and the significant achievements of the movement movement.
You can take that to mean all kinds of things there.
But they are already thinking that someone is going to
try to find something in here and chip away at
the legacy. We all at this point seem to have
(18:10):
a pretty good handle on.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, that's wild.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I mean, we don't know what's in these documents, but
certainly they don't like some of what is document They went.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
On to say, those who promote the fruit of the
FBI's surveillance will unknowingly align themselves with an ongoing campaign
to degrade our father and the civil rights movement. It
is amazing, sixty plus years later, like his legacy is
still being fought over, like we're about to have They're
setting us up almost like something is coming.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Well, the family repeated their belief the Doctor King was
not killed by a lone gunman, but that the assassination
was part of a larger conspiracy, saying, we will assess
whether the files offer additional insights beyond the finding our
family has allready accepted. And Bernice, by the way, went
on to her private Instagram page showed a picture of
her father and just said, now do the Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And the picture went in perfectly in line with what
she was saying. It was a picture of MLK almost
had a sarcastic look on his face, like come on,
it a really cool picture of him. But she added that,
but a lot of folks are saying the thing you
have been saying, Robes is that this is just another
distraction from Epstein. Of course, like he's just giving us something.
What was it, the wag the dog, the football team
(19:23):
and the baseball team. You want them to change their names.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Back, He's just us.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, he's been going to town on true social on
social media. I mean he does oftentimes, but this has
been particularly active.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yes, we continue on the run here now with the
non Trump story. Target is ending its price match guarantee.
You only have about a week to take advantage of
the policy that's been in place now for more than
a decade.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
The policy states will match the price if you buy
a qualifying item at Target and then find the identical
item for less at Target dot Com, Amazon, Walmart, et cetera.
That policy will now change to say they'll match prices
at other Targets store or Target dot Com. You can
also get a price match on items that drop in
price within fourteen days of your purchase at Target.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yes, so we'll match everything at our store.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yes, we'll match our own prices. Yes, you're welcome. Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
The company claims they're doing this because their data shows
that most of the customers don't use this anyway to
match from other stores. They say they only match other
Target stores anyway.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I'm sorry, but if that were the case, they wouldn't
need to make this change in policy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
We just leave it in place, correct.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Why do you need to change the policy if that's
what people are using it for anyway?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Because they've been taking as the financial hits and they've
been taking some public hits.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
We just would appreciate the transparency.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I would appreciate it if Target just said, hey, this
is killing us we're barely holding on.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
We can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Bear with us and accept the fact that we're going
to set our prices, and we hope you like them.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Periods.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, Next up on the run, we're going to
head to La. We're at exactly four to twenty. Yesterday afternoon,
Elon Musk opened his long anticipated Tesla diner. Fans began
lining up early and waited for hours and hours. No
one knew exactly when the diner was going to open.
Musk waiting for the clock to make a marijuana reference
before opening the gates.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Okay, and how do you pull this off? Retro and futuristic?
But that's what is being described as has a drive
in movie theater. Two massive screens connect to your Tesla speakers.
Now drivers can also charge their Teslas while they eat
and watch what's on. This was cool. They had the
Jetsons playing. I thought it was gonna be a movie
or something that make a futuristic Yeah, that is fantastic now.
(21:34):
The diner patrons also were greeted by a humanoid robot
named Optimus, who served popcorn and posed for selfies.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes, and the diner has waiters on roller skates. Thus
the retro kind of feel, cyber trucked theme food containers,
and the menu has diner staples like fried chicken and waffles,
grilled cheese. They have a Tesla burger with electric sauce that.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Even mean must says he plans to open Tesla diners
in major cities around the world, complete with super charger sites,
calling the diners and island of good food, good vibes,
and entertainment all while super charging. The diner is going
to be open twenty four seventh. This is smart, right,
People are always looking for somewhere to plug in, I
can eat, watch a movie, be entertained, what my car's charged.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
It's super smart, it is, and it was a big
hit yesterday. People were lined up just to get a
taste and a just a glimpse of what this.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Diner actually was.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
All Right, for the final leg of our run, it's
almost fall y'all with scorching temperatures and a heat dome
in the South and Midwest. Starbucks announces it's pumpkin spice
Latte season in a matter of weeks.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, fall begins when September twenty second? Do we have
to do this? Is this a real thing? You put
in the script PSL.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
They call PSL.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yes, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yes, it's a PSL.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I refuse. Even though fall doesn't officially begin until September
twenty second, Pumpkin spice lattes will be back nearly a
full month earlier on August twenty six, and, according to
Google trends, the desire for pumpkin spice latte but again
in mid June this year, where there was an uptick
in search US with a drink a full month earlier
than the year before. The coffee chain is also revealing
(23:06):
a few new fall menu items to get everyone into
those autumn fields. Why we have to go there. It's hot,
it's summer.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Let's enjoy because people always want the next thing, right,
we can't be present, we can't be in the moment.
We have to think about what we want next. That's
this is such a part of our problem individually and
societally speaking.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
But anyway, speaking of.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Fall, there will be a new pecan quartado that's a
drink with a one to one ratio of espresso to
steam milk and a pecan flavoring. An additional in addition
to the traditional PSL, there will also be the return
of the pumpkin cream cold brew iced pumpkin cream chai
and pecan crunch oatmeal latte. You know, Sabine's gonna be
(23:48):
trying all this stuff out.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
What's a cortado.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
It's it's just the ratio of steamed milk to espresso,
so it's half and half.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
But it's a thing. It's my first time seeing.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, cartato versus a latte versus a cap chino.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Something i'd order at a Mexican place.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I'll have cortatos please, Nope, it is.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It is.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I think it's Italian.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Actually, all right, Well, before you get going, it's something
we'd like for you to consider. It is a very
special I love you grab this one, Robes. This is
very very good, something we can all use, and it's
awfully timely. But it is our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yes, from the late and great and aforementioned Martin Luther
King Junior. He has so many quotes. It actually took
me so long to try and find the one I
wanted for today, But here it is for you. Forgiveness
is not an occasional act. It is a permanent attitude.
That really hit me today because I think we try to. Okay,
(24:43):
I'm gonna forgive this. I'm gonna forgive that. It takes
me a while, but I guess I can forgive him
or her on that. No, it is a permanent attitude.
Isn't that life changing when you think about it like
that instead of on a case by case basis.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Actually it sounds more daunting because it's not a case
by case basis. I need to actually change my view
of it and how I behave That sounds like more
of a daunting sounds.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Like I got freeing. I think it's freeing.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Though, if you make a decision, I am not going
to hold onto grudges. I am not gonna be a victim.
I am going to just forgive people for they know
not what they do, or even if they know what
they do, I'm not going to hold it against them,
and I'm not going to let it weigh me down.
I think it's actually freedom. But yes, it takes work
and it's really hard to do. But once you kind
(25:29):
of get into that mindset and you say, hey, this
isn't just a one off, this is a forever thing.
I've never thought about it like this. I've never seen
this quote before.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well, folks, take this one with you today. It is
a great one. Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it
is a permanent attitude. And with that, I pray you
will forgive my attitude about pumpkin spice latte. It's just
not my thing, but I'm going to try to do better.
I'm TJ.
