>> OPENING THE SEASON 19-31, THE SECOND WORST RECORD IN THE
NATIONAL LEAGUE AT THE TIME BUT
THEY FOUND A WAY TO SHAKE IT
OFF AND MAKE IT TO THE NATIONAL
LEAGUE PLAYOFFS.
LEAGUE PLAYOFFS. IN THE MEANTIME, THE LADIES ARE
GOING BACK TO THE WNBA FINALS
FOR A SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.
THEY ELIMINATED VEGAS LAST
NIGHT IN FOUR GAMES, AND THEY
WILL FACE CONNECTICUT IN GAME
ONE HERE IN DC ON SUNDAY AT
3:00 P.M.
3:00 P.M.
3:00 P.M. FOLKS, GET OUT THERE AND CHEER
ON THE LADIES.
>> THEY ARE GIVING US SOME
HOPE.
HOPE.
HOPE. >>
HOPE. >> I GOT TWO THINGS TO SAY,
TAKE THAT, BRYCE HARPER.
>> EVERYBODY EXPECTS WITH BRYCE
GOING TO THE PHILLIES THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY GOOD AND
THEY KIND OF BLEW IT.
>> AND HOW IRONIC IT HAPPENED
AGAINST THE PHILLIES.
>> I KNOW.
>> I'M ENJOYING THIS.
>> WE ARE EXCITED BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF PLAYOFF SPORTS
COMING TO THE DC AREA.
CONGRATS TO THE NATIONALS AND
THE MYSTICS.
THE MYSTICS. ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. WE CONTINUE WITH OUR MORNING
MIX.
MIX.
MIX. NEW
MIX. NEW THIS MORNING, IT WAS
BREAKING THIS MORNING.
THE CEO OF JUUL IS STEPPING
DOWN.
DOWN.
DOWN. ALSO SAYS IT WILL NOT LOBBY
AGAINST THAT PROPOSED BAND THAT
TRUMP HAD PUT OUT ABOUT BANNING
MOST FLAVORED VAPING PRODUCTS,
SO THAT IS WHERE JUUL IS.
ALSO, THE MASSACHUSETTS
GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED A FOUR MONTH
BAN ON THE SALE OF ALL VAPING
PRODUCTS, AND THIS COMES AFTER
THE CDC ANNOUNCED THEY EXPECTED
HUNDREDS OF MORE VAPING RELATED
ILLNESSES TO BE ANNOUNCED THIS
WEEK.
WEEK.
WEEK. 530
WEEK. 530 PEOPLE IN 38 STATES HAVE
GOTTEN SICK BY A MYSTERIOUS
ILLNESS RELATED TO VAPING.
NINE PEOPLE HAVE DIED.
THE CDC IS CALLING ON PEOPLE TO
CONSIDER REFRAINING FROM VAPING
UNTIL THEY FIGURE OUT THE
ISSUE.
ISSUE.
ISSUE. THAT SOUNDS LIKE GOOD ADVICE.
>> I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
SPECIFICALLY WHY THE CEO
STEPPED DOWN.
STEPPED DOWN. WAS IT SOMETHING THEY WERE
GOING AFTER, BUT IT JUST KIND
OF SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE
ATTACHING HIM TO EVERYTHING
THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP THE LAST
COUPLE MONTHS.
COUPLE MONTHS. >> A LOT OF NEGATIVE PUBLICITY
THERE, AND MAYBE THEY THOUGHT
UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP THINGS
WEREN'T GOING QUITE THE WAY
THEY PLANNED.
THEY PLANNED. >> EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T SAY
ANYTHING, IT'S LIKE, BUT WHAT
DID YOU DO TO AVOID IT?
IT'S A TOUGH JOB.
>> ARE YOU SURPRISED BY HOW
QUICKLY THINGS ARE HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW?
RIGHT NOW? >> I WAS KIND OF SURPRISED TO
SEE THEM DO THIS.
I KNOW IT DOES HAPPEN, BUT I
WAS.
WAS.
WAS. IT'S
WAS. IT'S CATCHING ON LIKE WILDFIRE.
I WAS LIKE, THERE IT IS.
>> I'M CURIOUS WITH
MASSACHUSETTS, BANNING IT ALL
FOR FOUR MONTHS.
WHAT DOES THAT DO?
IF THEY DECIDE TO BRING IT
BACK, HERE IT IS AGAIN.
I DON'T FULLY GET THAT.
>> IT WON'T BE QUITE AS EASY I
GUESS.
GUESS.
GUESS. IT
GUESS. IT WON'T BE AS AVAILABLE TO THE
KIDS TO GET, BUT AS A PARENT
AND THINKING LIKE, IF THEY ARE
NOT VAPING, WHAT ELSE ARE THEY
GOING TO DO?
IT'S UNFORTUNATE YOU HAVE TO
THINK THAT WAY, BUT YOU'VE GOT
KIDS IN SCHOOL.
YOU HEAR ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME.
YOU WONDER, IF NOT VAPING, THEN
WHAT.
WHAT.
WHAT. >>
WHAT. >> THEY'LL FIND SOMETHING.
WE ALL DID AS KIDS.
>> IT'S TERRIBLE TO THINK, BUT
I FEEL LIKE THEY FEEL LIKE,
WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
>> I CAN JUST SIT HERE AND
TWIDDLE MY THUMBS.
I'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
>> I HEARD A MOM WHOSE DAUGHTER
GOT SICK OFF OF IT.
SHE WAS TESTIFYING AND SAID, IF
THIS WAS ROMAINE LETTUCE, THE
SHELVES WOULD BE EMPTY OF
ROMAINE LETTUCE.
ROMAINE LETTUCE. >> INTERESTING.
>> INTERESTING. HERE IT'S BEEN THAT PUSH AND
PULL STRUGGLE.
PULL STRUGGLE. >> I STILL THINK IT'S GONE SO
QUICKLY COMPARED TO OTHER
ISSUES THAT WE HAVE THAT DON'T
GO ANYWHERE.
GO ANYWHERE. >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
>>> SOMETHING ELSE PEOPLE ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
TALKING ABOUT. WARNER BROS.
WARNER BROS. THE JOKER, IT'S NOT PLAYING AT
THE CINEMARK AURORA THEATER
WHERE THE 2012 DARK KNIGHT
RISES MASS SHOOTING TOOK PLACE.
12 PEOPLE DIED IN THAT, 70
OTHERS INJURED WHEN A GUNMAN
OPENED FIRE INSIDE THE THEATER,
SO NOW THE FAMILIES OF SOME OF
THOSE KILLED ARE WORRIED ABOUT
THE IMPACT THE JOKER WILL HAVE
ON PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE.
VIOLENCE. SOME OF THE FAMILIES ACTUALLY
SENT LETTERS ASKING THE END
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO
CANDIDATES WHO TAKE MONEY FROM
THE NRA.
THE NRA.
THE NRA. THEY ALSO ASKED THEM TO LOBBY
FOR GUN REFORM AND HELP FIND
SURVIVOR AND GUN INTERVENTION
PROGRAMS.
PROGRAMS.
PROGRAMS. WARNER BROS.
WARNER BROS. RESPONDED IN PART BY SAYING,
THE MOVIE IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT
OF VIOLENCE AND THEY BELIEVE
THAT ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS OF
STORYTELLING IS TO PROVOKE
DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS AROUND
COMPLEX ISSUES.
COMPLEX ISSUES. >> I TOTALLY GET NOT SHOWING IT
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. >>
THERE. >> I GET IT AS WELL.
>> MOVIES OF ALL TYPES WITH A
LOT OF VIOLENCE ARE OUT THERE,
AND IT'S UP TO US AS CONSUMERS
WHETHER WE WANT TO WATCH IT OR
NOT.
NOT.
NOT. I
NOT. I COULD BE WAY OFF ON THIS, BUT
WHEN I HEAR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT, I ALSO THINK ABOUT LIKE
WAR MOVIES THAT ARE OUT, AND,
YES, THEY ARE TELLING STORIES,
BUT IT'S STILL VERY VIOLENT.
HOW DOES NOT DO NOT SPARK PTSD.
BUT THE PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM
IT DON'T GO SEE IT.
SO I GET KEEPING IT OUT OF THAT
THEATER, MAYBE EVEN OUT OF THAT
TOWN, BUT IT'S UP TO US AS
CONSUMERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
WHAT WE INTAKE WHEN IT COMES TO
ENTERTAINMENT.
ENTERTAINMENT. >> DID YOU SEE THE TRAILER FOR
IT?
IT?
IT? >>
IT? >> IT
IT? >> IT LOOKS CREEPY.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE A MINE
SINISTER THRILLER THEN A LOT OF
GUN VIOLENCE.
GUN VIOLENCE. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> I AGREE.
I DON'T BLAME THEM FOR NOT
SHOWING IT.
SHOWING IT. I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.
>> IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A
LITTLE SOMETHING THERE.
>> I THINK THERE'S MOVIES OUT
THERE, THERE'S ENTERTAINMENT
OUT THERE THAT'S ALWAYS TENDING
TO SPARK SOMETHING.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THIS
YESTERDAY OR NOT, IN HER NEW
MEMOIR, INSIDE OUT, DEMI MOORE
IS TELLING ALL.
SHE OPENS UP ABOUT HER
ADDICTION, HER BODY IMAGE
ISSUES, HER CHILDREN, HER
MARRIAGES TO BRUCE WILLIS AND
ASHTON KUTCHER.
ASHTON KUTCHER. SHE SAYS HER MOTHER SOLD HER
FOR SEX AT AGE 15.
SHE ALSO SAYS HER FORMER
HUSBAND HAD AFFAIRS AND ASKED
FOR THREESOMES.
FOR THREESOMES. SHE IS TELLING HER STORY FROM
HER PERSPECTIVE.
HER PERSPECTIVE. NOW, ASHTON, HOWEVER, TWEETED,
I WAS ABOUT TO PUSH THE BUTTON
ON A REALLY SNARKY TWEET, THEN
I SAW MY SON, DAUGHTER, AND
WIFE AND I DELETED IT.
THEN HE TWEETED, LIFE IS GOOD
AND THEN TWEETED A PHONE NUMBER
AND SAID, FOR THE TRUTH, TEXT
ME.
ME.
ME. >>
ME. >> SHE IS LITERALLY BEARING AT
ALL.
ALL.
ALL. >>
ALL. >> SHE IS.
>> IT'S KIND OF WEIRD, BECAUSE
WE HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH FROM DEMI
MOORE LATELY.
MOORE LATELY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHE'S BACK IN
THE NEWS.
THE NEWS.
THE NEWS. BUT WHY ARE YOU KIND OF
THROWING THESE OTHER PEOPLE,
LIKE THIS IS PRIVATE LIFE.
UNLESS YOU WENT UP TO ASHTON
KUTCHER AND SAID, I'M GOING TO
TELL THE STORY, IT'S FINE,
THERE ARE KIDS AND OTHER
FAMILIES INVOLVED.
FAMILIES INVOLVED. NOW YOU ARE PUTTING ALL OF THAT
OUT FOR EVERYONE.
>> IT IS HER STORY.
THE PROBLEM IS IF IT'S NOT
TRUE.
TRUE.
TRUE. >>
TRUE. >> IF IT'S HER STORY AND SHE
WANTS TO TELL IT, IT'S A LOT TO
PUT OUT THERE.
>> IT IS, BUT I WOULD NOT WANT
MY KIDS READING IF MY HUSBAND
ASKED ME FOR -- I DON'T WANT
HIM READING ABOUT THAT.
THAT SOMETHING BETWEEN MOMMY
AND DADDY.
AND DADDY. LET'S KEEP IT THERE.
>> I WONDER IF SHE FEELS THAT
SHE CAN RELATE TO OTHER WOMEN
BY SHARING HER STORY, BECAUSE
IT SEEMED LIKE SHE WAS SAYING,
I WAS ABLE TO FIND MYSELF
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
AGAIN. I'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS
AND NOW I'M STRONGER ON THE
OTHER SIDE.
OTHER SIDE. >> SHE SAYS WITH ASHTON KUTCHER
THAT SHE HAS GIVEN UP TWO
DECADES OF SOBRIETY TO BE WITH
HIM.
HIM.
HIM. SHE
HIM. SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE OLDER
WOMAN THAT WAS NO FUN.
SHE WANTED TO BE FUN, AND HE
HAD SAID THAT HE DIDN'T THINK
ALCOHOL RESUME WAS A PROBLEM
THAT IT WAS A CHOICE, SO SHE
STARTED DRINKING AGAIN WHEN IT
CAME TO THAT.
STORIES LIKE THAT I GET.
>> THE SEXUAL ESCAPADES WAS
KIND OF A LITTLE.
MY PRIMARY AUDIENCE AND
THINKING ABOUT MY KIDS, AND
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I WANT
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. BUT
THEM. BUT THE OTHER STUFF I THINK
COMING OUT, AS YOU MENTIONED,
IS PROBABLY FAIR GAME.
IT'S PART OF HER STORY AND IT
MAY BE SOMETHING SHE SHOULD
HAVE NOT TOLD SOMETHING TO HER
KIDS ABOUT.
KIDS ABOUT. MY NUMBER 1 AUDIENCE IS YOU AND
YOU
