0:09
Speaker 3: front page news. Start off with some quick sports Thursday
0:13
Speaker 3: night football. The Commands take on the Green Bay package

0:20
Speaker 1: What's up to me?
0:21
Speaker 4: First of all, I just want to say, yes, I
0:22
Speaker 4: am here. Don't play with me, emmy, because I don't
0:24

0:29
Speaker 2: I was like, what's up, Jess, Hi, That's what I did?
0:32
Speaker 2: What's up me?
0:33
Speaker 5: Me? All right, y'all, Good morning Jess, Good morning Envy.
0:37
Speaker 5: So we're gonna start this morning with breaking news out
0:39
Speaker 5: of Utah, a shocking and deadly shooting involving one of
0:42
Speaker 5: the most controversial voices in conservative politics. Thirty one year
0:47
Speaker 5: old Charlie Kirk, the co founder of Turning Point USA
0:50
Speaker 5: and a loud advocate for expansive gun rights, was fatally
0:53
Speaker 5: shot and killed yesterday while speaking at a debate hosted
0:57
Speaker 5: by his nonprofit at Utah Valle University. Now, a manhunt
1:02
Speaker 5: is still underway. Two people who were considered suspects were
1:05
Speaker 5: later released, according to police. Now, if you're not familiar
1:09
Speaker 5: with Kirk, he was hugely influential among young conservatives, building
1:13
Speaker 5: Turning Point into a nationwide network on more than three
1:16
Speaker 5: thousand college campuses and high school campuses. He was also,
1:20
Speaker 5: though very polarizing, known for spreading election conspiracy theories, opposing
1:24
Speaker 5: gun restrictions, and pushing rhetoric that critics say fueled division.
1:29
Speaker 5: At yesterday's event, he was taking audience questions, taking audience
1:33
Speaker 5: questions about mass shootings and gun violence when he was killed.
1:37
Speaker 5: And we're going to play the audio leading up to
1:39
Speaker 5: the shooting. I want to warn you it may be
1:40
Speaker 5: hard to listen to, but we do stop right before
1:43
Speaker 5: we hear the gunshots.
1:44
Speaker 2: Let's listen.
1:46
Speaker 6: So, do you know how many transgender Americans have bit
1:49
Speaker 6: mass shooters over the last ten years? Right, I'm going
2:00
Speaker 6: to give you Mane his credit. Do you do you
2:02
Speaker 6: know how many matchers there have been in America over
2:05
Speaker 6: the last ten years, counting or not comic gang violence.
2:10
Speaker 5: So right after that, when he says gang violence, a
2:13
Speaker 5: single gunshot rang out. Video circling on social media shows
2:17
Speaker 5: Kirk grabbing his neck as blood pours from his wound.
2:21
Speaker 5: You can also see people panicking, screaming, scrambling for safety. Now,
2:26
Speaker 5: Kirk he often defended broad gun rights, even saying that
2:30
Speaker 5: some deaths were worth it to protect the Second Amendment,
2:33
Speaker 5: and now video of that statement is also circulating on
2:36
Speaker 5: social media in the aftermath of his death, sparking a
2:40
Speaker 5: different conversation about gun laws and political extremism. And of course,
2:45
Speaker 5: as news spread, lawmakers on both aisles they are condemning
2:48
Speaker 5: the shooting, but the blame game has escalated. Fox News
2:52
Speaker 5: host Jesse Waters reacted to the shooting during his show,
2:55
Speaker 5: Let's listen to what he had to say.
2:57
Speaker 2: Charlie spoke the truth.
2:59
Speaker 7: He said what he felt, and they killed him for it.
3:01
Speaker 7: The message is shut your mouth. And this isn't the
3:03
Speaker 7: first time this has happened.
3:05
Speaker 2: This is just the worst time.
3:06
Speaker 7: They shot Trump. They went to Kavanaugh's house with a rifle.
3:09
Speaker 7: They're fire bombing Elon's cars, rioting in La trans Shooters
3:13
Speaker 7: are killing our kids. Hell Rand Paul got his ribs
3:16
Speaker 7: broken by his neighbor. Ice agents have to wear masks
3:20
Speaker 7: because their families are getting death threats. They're telling us
3:23
Speaker 7: we're at war.
3:26
Speaker 5: And then there's a Republican Congresswoman, Nancy May. She also
3:30
Speaker 5: spoke with reporters right after the shooting. Let's listen to
3:33
Speaker 5: that exchange.
3:34
Speaker 2: Democrats own what happened today. I am devastated.
3:40
Speaker 8: Just because you speak your mind on an issue doesn't
3:42
Speaker 8: mean you get shot.
3:44
Speaker 7: By that logic, do Republicans own the shooting of the
3:46
Speaker 7: two Democratic clawnmakers in Minnesota?
3:49
Speaker 2: Politic isn't isn't this on both sides hiding?
3:52
Speaker 5: We don't know what contention Charlie Kirk is in right now,
3:55
Speaker 5: some raging leftist.
3:57
Speaker 6: Lunatic put a bullet through his No, and you want
4:00
Speaker 6: to talk about Republicans right now?
4:02
Speaker 7: No, no, you said Merri.
4:05
Speaker 2: Democrats owned this.
4:08
Speaker 9: Well.
4:09
Speaker 5: President Donald Trump has ordered flags to fly at half
4:12
Speaker 5: staff until September fourteenth in response to Kirk's death, and
4:15
Speaker 5: he called this a dark moment for America and blame
4:18
Speaker 5: the shooting on the radical left envy.
4:22
Speaker 1: What do you think about this?
4:23
Speaker 5: I think that this shooter hasn't been caught yet, so
4:26
Speaker 5: I think our elected officials need to be a little
4:28
Speaker 5: bit careful before.
4:29
Speaker 3: We absolutely Charlamage said now as well, I do feel
4:32
Speaker 3: like he's not the gentleman. Wasn't a politician, right, he
4:36
Speaker 3: wasn't a lawmaker. He had an opinion, whether you believed
4:38
Speaker 3: his opinion, whether you liked his opinion, whether you disliked opinion.
4:41
Speaker 3: Part of being in this country is the.
4:42
Speaker 1: Rite of free speech.
4:43
Speaker 3: And the fact that he was shot and killed and
4:45
Speaker 3: he has two kids and he has a wife is
4:47
Speaker 3: absolutely positively sad. And I don't believe in that. You know,
4:51
Speaker 3: you should be able to say what you want to say,
4:52
Speaker 3: whether people like it or love it or hate it.
4:54
Speaker 3: But the fact that you have an opinion and you're
4:56
Speaker 3: killed for it is very disgraceful. And I feel sorry
4:59
Speaker 3: for that that that man's family, he has two kids.
5:03
Speaker 3: It's just disgusting in America. To me, That's how I feel, Charlea.
5:07
Speaker 2: I just sat down, Give me a minute. I start
5:10
Speaker 2: the show all the time, exactly, that's the time. I
5:14
Speaker 2: literally just what's up? What's up?
5:16
Speaker 4: Just yeah, I don't really know enough about you know,
5:21
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk. You have an opinion about the things he
5:24
Speaker 4: said when he was alive. All I know is that
5:26
Speaker 4: I did hear that he had a family, and he
5:29
Speaker 4: was taken away from them simply, and that's just that's message.
5:33
Speaker 1: Sat. So my heart goes out to his children and
5:35
Speaker 1: his wife.
5:36
Speaker 4: But he's gone now, and so everything that he was,
5:39
Speaker 4: you know, judged for saying or whatever, I mean, that's
5:42
Speaker 4: all over.
5:42
Speaker 1: That really don't matter now because he's not here.
5:47
Speaker 5: Well, you know, we're also following another shooting, sadly, this
5:50
Speaker 5: one out of a high school in Colorado, about thirty
5:52
Speaker 5: minutes outside of Denver. Authorities there say a student opened
5:56
Speaker 5: fire yesterday at Evergreen High School that's just around twelve pm,
6:01
Speaker 5: wounding two students before turning the gun on himself. Now,
6:04
Speaker 5: police confirmed the shooter died from a self inflicted gun wound.
6:08
Speaker 5: Three students in total were rushed to the hospital. One
6:11
Speaker 5: remains in critical condition, another is stable, and a four
6:14
Speaker 5: student was treated for other injuries. Now, after the shooting,
6:17
Speaker 5: the school went on lockdown. Officers, of course, they swept
6:21
Speaker 5: the campus. Students were evacuated, and parents were reunited with
6:25
Speaker 5: your children at a nearby elementary school. The FBI and
6:29
Speaker 5: the ATF are assisting. The motive is still unclear and
6:33
Speaker 5: the suspects identity has not been released. So we're just seeing.
6:38
Speaker 2: This was in Colorado.
6:39
Speaker 5: This was right outside Denver, or about thirty minutes outside Denver.
6:42
Speaker 9: Yesterday, I just said, down, do we have to start
6:45
Speaker 9: to show at six am every day?
6:46
Speaker 6: I can?
6:47
Speaker 2: Can we maybe six.
6:50
Speaker 1: For the last fifteen second? I know?
6:52
Speaker 2: And you know what the old I get. I want
6:53
Speaker 2: to adjust things.
6:56
Speaker 9: For moments like this, like you just walk in and
6:58
Speaker 9: it's just heavy immediately off the time.
7:00
Speaker 2: I gotta get my bearings. And you're right, yeah, absolutely.

8:16
Speaker 3: so you can see that on Prime video. What's up, Mimi?
8:19
Speaker 1: All right?
8:20
Speaker 5: Good morning. So today mark twenty four years since the
8:22
Speaker 5: September eleventh attacks that took nearly three thousand lives, and
8:26
Speaker 5: across the country, communities are honoring the victims and first
8:29
Speaker 5: responders with ceremonies, moments of silence, and a national day
8:33
Speaker 5: of service. In New York, the names will be read
8:35
Speaker 5: at Ground zero. In Washington, there's a ceremony at the
8:38
Speaker 5: Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, families will gather at the Flight
8:42
Speaker 5: ninety three National Memorial. Vice President j D. Vance and
8:46
Speaker 5: his wife are expected to attend the New York ceremony,
8:49
Speaker 5: and authorities say security will be heightened around all official events.
8:54
Speaker 5: So you want to honor the victims of nine to
8:56
Speaker 5: eleven this morning? Absolutely, And we are learning a lot
9:00
Speaker 5: more about Vice President Kamala Harris's time inside the Biden
9:04
Speaker 5: White House, as she's holding nothing back inside her new memoir,
9:08
Speaker 5: One hundred and seven Days. In excerpts released to the Atlantic,
9:11
Speaker 5: Harris opens up about the tense months leading up to
9:15
Speaker 5: Joe Biden's decision to seek re election. She says deferring
9:19
Speaker 5: to Biden and letting him and First Lady Joe Biden
9:22
Speaker 5: decide on their own wasn't just risky. She calls it recklessness. Now,
9:26
Speaker 5: according to Harris's advisors, repeated some of the same lines
9:29
Speaker 5: over and over again. It's Joe and Jill's decision, But
9:33
Speaker 5: looking back, she says the stakes were too high to
9:35
Speaker 5: lead that choice to an individual's ego or an individual's ambition.
9:40
Speaker 5: She also reveals deep frustration with Biden's inner circle accusing
9:44
Speaker 5: some staffers of feeding negative stories about her to the
9:47
Speaker 5: press and refusing to defend her publicly. And Harris says
9:50
Speaker 5: that while Republicans labeled her the borders are and attacked
9:54
Speaker 5: her work, Biden's communications team rarely corrected the record or
9:58
Speaker 5: pushed back when reporters criticized her laugh, her tone, even
10:02
Speaker 5: her dating history. Harris right she got little support from
10:06
Speaker 5: inside the White House, saying at times it felt like
10:08
Speaker 5: Biden's team decided I should be knocked down a little
10:12
Speaker 5: bit more now. Despite all of that tension, Harris does
10:15
Speaker 5: make it clear that she stood by Biden against Donald Trump,
10:18
Speaker 5: writing that even on his worst day, Joe Biden was
10:21
Speaker 5: better than Donald Trump on his best.
10:23
Speaker 9: So, yeah, listen, I cannot wait to read her book
10:27
Speaker 9: one hundred and seven days. I'm actually checking in my
10:29
Speaker 9: mailbox every day because I was supposed to get it
10:31
Speaker 9: sent to me yesterday. But this is the honesty she
10:33
Speaker 9: should have showcased during the campaign. I wish she would
10:37
Speaker 9: have broken away from Biden like this while she was campaigning,
10:40
Speaker 9: like that one line on the view and she said
10:42
Speaker 9: she wouldn't do anything different than Biden. I feel like
10:44
Speaker 9: that's what really ruined her, But I'm happy about what
10:48
Speaker 9: she is sharing in this book. I'm happy about what
10:50
Speaker 9: I read in The Atlantic yesterday because maybe it will
10:53
Speaker 9: give the Democratic Party the nuts to throw that old
10:58
Speaker 9: regime under the bus. I keep saying, over and over,
11:01
Speaker 9: whatever the future of the Democratic Party looks like, you
11:04
Speaker 9: gotta throw that whole old regime under the bus, especially
11:08
Speaker 9: President Biden.
11:09
Speaker 2: And I wonder what changed.
11:10
Speaker 3: I wonder what made her say now is the time
11:12
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start doing this, because I feel like she.
11:14
Speaker 2: Don't have a choice.
11:15
Speaker 9: If you send the yeah, if you don't have nothing
11:17
Speaker 9: to lose it, if you're sitting down writing the book,
11:19
Speaker 9: you have to be honest not to mention. You can't
11:21
Speaker 9: keep telling people they did not see what we all saw.
11:24
Speaker 9: I read the Original Sin by Jake Tapple. Before I
11:27
Speaker 9: read the Original Sin, we was up here having those
11:29
Speaker 9: conversations and people were giving handing us our ass because
11:32
Speaker 9: we would be saying those things about President Biden.
11:34
Speaker 2: So I know she dealt with it on a on
11:36
Speaker 2: a real level. If you got coringe.
11:38
Speaker 9: John Pierre saying things like, we can't be blindly loyal
11:41
Speaker 9: to the party anymore, and I'm an independent now.
11:44
Speaker 2: The Vice president. She was way closer to him than
11:47
Speaker 2: than everybody else.
11:48
Speaker 3: Does she not run again? Because that means she lied
11:50
Speaker 3: to the American people, Right, that means all the things
11:52
Speaker 3: that we wanted her to do she really felt like doing,
11:54
Speaker 3: but she said the total opposite.
11:56
Speaker 2: I don't think this is about her running it with this.
11:58
Speaker 4: But still at the same time, right, if she had
12:00
Speaker 4: separated or even went against him earlier, still being his
12:03
Speaker 4: vice president, wouldn't that like mess with her safety?
12:06
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it would have cost her so much?
12:08
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because he was such an unpopular president.
12:11
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think he was such an
12:12
Speaker 2: unpopular president.
12:13
Speaker 3: No, I think people didn't like him, and I think
12:15
Speaker 3: they wanted a reason to like her more. And I
12:17
Speaker 3: think with her riding with him made people not like
12:20
Speaker 3: her just as much as not liking him.
12:21
Speaker 9: Absolutely, So, I think I think this book, if it's
12:24
Speaker 9: anything like this little you know excerpt we saw in
12:27
Speaker 9: the Atlantic, it should give the Democratic Party the nuts
12:31
Speaker 9: to throw that old regime under the bus because they
12:33
Speaker 9: got to build something new.
12:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, that article in the Atlantic is really good if
12:37
Speaker 5: you guys get a chance.
12:38
Speaker 1: To check it out.
12:41
Speaker 5: Her book one hundred and seven Days is scheduled to
12:44
Speaker 5: be released on September twenty third, so we want to
12:47
Speaker 5: keep a lookout for that. And while Kamala Harris opens
12:50
Speaker 5: up about her own struggles inside the White House, there's
12:52
Speaker 5: another conversation happening about the challenges that black women are
12:56
Speaker 5: facing in the economy right now. Congresswoman Ayana Presley says
13:00
Speaker 5: the Federal Reserve needs to step up. A new jobs
13:03
Speaker 5: report shows that three hundred and nineteen thousand fewer Black
13:07
Speaker 5: women are employed now than in July, pushing unemployment for
13:12
Speaker 5: black women up one point three percent. Now. Presley says,
13:16
Speaker 5: this just isn't about the black community. It is a
13:18
Speaker 5: warning sign to the US economy. Black Information Network anchor
13:22
Speaker 5: Andrea Coleman she sat down with the congresswoman earlier this
13:27
Speaker 5: week and to talk about the impact of these numbers.
13:30
Speaker 5: Let's hear what she had to say.
13:32
Speaker 8: All Americans should care because Black women throughout history have
13:35
Speaker 8: been the canaries in the coal mine. This alarming spike
13:39
Speaker 8: in black women's unemployment rate to six point seven percent
13:42
Speaker 8: compared to overall unemployment of four point three percent. This
13:46
Speaker 8: is the highest in four years, and again it's just
13:49
Speaker 8: further evidence of Donald Trump's irresponsible in chaotic economic policies,
13:56
Speaker 8: and you know, I do believe it is also discriminate,
14:01
Speaker 8: precise and targeted harm.
14:03
Speaker 5: Yeah. Presley went on to say that there's another layer.
14:06
Speaker 5: She wants the Federal Reserve to start tracking employment data,
14:09
Speaker 5: specifically for black women. Without accurate number, she argues, policies
14:13
Speaker 5: can't create real solutions to prevent further job losses. Now,
14:17
Speaker 5: this comes as overall job growth has slowed nationwide. Employers
14:21
Speaker 5: added just twenty two thousand jobs in August. But for
14:24
Speaker 5: black workers, the impact of that is even sharper. Unemployment
14:27
Speaker 5: jump to seven point five percent compared to the four
14:30
Speaker 5: point three percent nationally. Now. Presley also points to other
14:34
Speaker 5: factors that are making the situation worse, including cuts to
14:36
Speaker 5: diversity and inclusion programs, loss of thousands of federal jobs,
14:40
Speaker 5: and the growth of AI in hiring, which experts say
14:44
Speaker 5: is disproportionately affecting black applicants. We talked about this a
14:49
Speaker 5: little bit yesterday. She's tying it into politics, raising concerns
14:52
Speaker 5: after President Trump tried to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
14:56
Speaker 5: She calls that firing a broader rollback of the black
15:00
Speaker 5: leadership in the highest level of government. So she says
15:03
Speaker 5: again this will affect the whole economy, saying job losses
15:06
Speaker 5: that hit black women first, the ripple effects are eventually
15:09
Speaker 5: felt throughout the country. So we will keep an eye
15:14
Speaker 5: on the line.
15:14
Speaker 9: You know, I've always said that when people have these
15:17
Speaker 9: these comments about protecting black women, you know, providing security
15:20
Speaker 9: for black women, a lot of that security got to
15:22
Speaker 9: be financial. You know what I'm saying, When the last
15:24
Speaker 9: time you put a check in a black women's pocket.
15:25
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, When the last time you
15:27
Speaker 9: provided a black woman in an opportunity if you can
15:29
Speaker 9: have you have the ability to do that, when the
15:30
Speaker 9: lat of time, you know you gave a black woman
15:32
Speaker 9: a job. Like you know, people just be getting on
15:34
Speaker 9: their podcasts and getting on their youtubes and giving these
15:37
Speaker 9: long soliloquies about protecting black women. I don't hear your lip,
15:41
Speaker 9: service man, what's up with that money?
15:42
Speaker 5: Run that Check's some action behind those words?
15:46
Speaker 1: Yes?
15:46
Speaker 4: Right?
15:47
Speaker 3: All right?
15:47
Speaker 5: So and really quickly, lastly, if you live in New Mexico,
15:51
Speaker 5: there's some some news that could save your family thousands
15:53
Speaker 5: of dollars. Starting this November, the state will become the
15:56
Speaker 5: first state in the country to offer free universal childcare
15:59
Speaker 5: for every family, no matter your income. The governor there
16:02
Speaker 5: says the goal is to give parents financial relief, keep
16:05
Speaker 5: more people in the workplace, and make sure every child
16:08
Speaker 5: has access to quality care. Under the program, families would
16:11
Speaker 5: save about twelve thousand dollars per child each year. The
16:15
Speaker 5: state will either cover your childcare altogether or reimburse you
16:19
Speaker 5: for the cost. The move is expected to lift tens
16:22
Speaker 5: of thousands of people out of poverty.
16:24
Speaker 1: I love this.
16:25
Speaker 5: I think this is something every state should be working towards.
16:28
Speaker 2: Sound work.
