His 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 4: own supporters boot him. The Tuppleware party is now. 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Over, and after twelve years on the market, there's finally 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: a buyer for one of the most iconic properties in Chicago. 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: Here's a hint, the number twenty three is on the 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 1: front gate. 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 4: But let's start the morning run here in New York 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 4: where Sean Ditty Combs woke up at the Metropolitan Detention 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 4: Center in Brooklyn this morning. That's the same federal facility 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 4: that once hosted the likes of r Kelly and Gallaine Maxwell. 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: A judge yesterday denied Diddy bail after prosecutors unveiled their 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: wide ranging case against the music mogul. He is facing 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: three counts, the first one a racketeering conspiracy, second sex trafficking, 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: and then third transportation to engage in prostitution. 28 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 4: But despite Diddy offering to put up fifty million dollars 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 4: for bond, prosecutors successfully argued that he was a flight 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 4: risk given his considerable resources. 31 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: And they said he has reached out to witnesses and 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: victims in this case, some of whom they say are 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: scared of him. Soon after the judge's decision to deny 34 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: his bail, Ditty's attorney announced they would appeal, and that 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: appeal will be heard by a different and judge. It 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: happens today in court at three thirty Eastern times. 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: Bye. 38 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 4: Back to yesterday's hearing, prosecutors not only called Ditty a 39 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 4: flight risk, but also said he quote poses an ongoing 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 4: and significant danger to the community end quote. The indictment 41 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 4: details over a decade of alleged abuse, assaults, intimidation, kidnapping, 42 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 4: sex trafficking, brivery, among other crimes by Ditty and his associates. 43 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: Prosecutors put Combs at the top of a criminal enterprise 44 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: that helped to fulfill his sexual desires, they say, through coercing, drugging, 45 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: and threatening women and at the center of this indictment 46 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: what they're calling freak offs. 47 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 4: Yes, you're going to be hearing that term probably a 48 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 4: lot throughout this process, but freak offs that, according to prosecutors, 49 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: was the diddy's name for his sex parties that sometimes 50 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 4: went on for days. The indictment said these were elaborate 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 4: sex performances that were arranged orchestrated and often recorded by Combs. 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Prosecutors women would be drugged and then coerced into sex 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: with male prostitutes, and they were kept stocked with drugs 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: and lubricants. 55 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: A thousand bottles. 56 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: Of baby oil and lotions were seized from raids on 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: Ditty's properties, and all of this is according to the indictments. 58 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 4: Prosecutors say they also have evidence video evidence of these parties. 59 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: In fact, prosecutors also say some of these parties went 60 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: on for so long and were so stressful to some 61 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 4: of the participants that in fact they needed an IV 62 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 4: to recover afterwards, Colm's attorney countered all of that by 63 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 4: arguing that there was no sex trafficking or corsion because quote, 64 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: everyone wanted to be there. 65 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: Wow. 66 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: Well, Diddy spoke just two words during yesterday's hearing. We 67 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: heard him say not guilty when asked how he wanted 68 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: to plead. He is facing fifteen years to life in 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: prison if he's convicted on these charges. 70 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: Now take it with this perspective. Think of it this way. 71 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: If he does not win his bail appeal, he is 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 4: going to have to stay in prison until his trial. 73 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 4: If then at the trial he's convicted, he would then 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 4: be going right to prison to begin his sentence, which 75 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 4: could be, as Robes just said, up to life in prison. 76 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 4: So Robes, it's amazing to think that this media music mogul, 77 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 4: this icon. We're now looking at the real possibility that 78 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: Sean Diddy Combs has walked his last day on this 79 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 4: earth as a free man. 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: And it's remarkable when he saw those images circulating of 81 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: him with his sons here in New York City just 82 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: the day before. We're getting worried that he has two 83 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: teenage daughters. They're now being cared for by a family friend. 84 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: In California. Many people said he was anticipating these charges, 85 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: but still the details of them and what's being alleged 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: against him are, to put it, very frankly, just shocking. 87 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 4: It's incredible that he is being charged under something that 88 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 4: many people here in New York are familiar with with 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 4: the Federal Act. This was used to put the big 90 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 4: heads of the Five Families, the mafia families, in prison 91 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 4: by essentially saying that the head of the enterprise can 92 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: be held responsible for everything his people do under him, 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 4: the Rico Act that some of you all are familiar with. 94 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 4: To think that Diddy is now being prosecuted under that 95 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: same law and being viewed the same way as a 96 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 4: mafia boss. 97 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, running a criminal enterprise, that is what they are alleging. Well, 98 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: we will certainly keep you up to date on what's 99 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: happening and what happens here in New York City later 100 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: this afternoon, but we continue our run today with an 101 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: attack like nothing the world has seen before. At least 102 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: nine people were killed, thousands of others were injured after 103 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: handheld pagers exploded. And yes, we're talking about those archaic 104 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: communication devices. Many of us remember using them back in 105 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: the nineties before blackberries or even smartphones. Well, the target 106 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: of these handheld pagers members of the militant group Hesbelah. 107 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, lower tech devices, but this was a sophisticated attack 108 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: in which hundreds of pagers detonated across two countries, Lebanon 109 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 4: and Syria at the same time. Now among those injured 110 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: Aron's ambassador to Syria, along with twenty eight hundred other people, 111 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: at least two hundred of them critically wounded. 112 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: Now, the pagers were all being carried by members of Hesbla, 113 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: who described the incident as the biggest security breach to date. 114 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: This all happening in their year long war with Israel. 115 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: No one has officially claimed responsibility for this attack, but 116 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: Hesbela is pointing the finger right at Israel, who has 117 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: yet to comment. 118 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 4: But however, several outlets, including The New York Times, reported 119 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: that it was in fact Israel that intercepted a batch 120 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 4: of pagers that was meant for Hesbelah and then hid 121 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 4: explosives insigned them. The militant group apparently adopted the use 122 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 4: of pagers recently for fear that their cell phones could. 123 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: Be Now Hesbla promise to retaliate against Israel, saying it 124 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: would receive quote its fair punishment for those deadly blasts, 125 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: and the militant group, which is supported by Iran, has 126 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: been engaged in cross border battles with Israel since the 127 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: war in Gaza began. So unfortunately, this will not be 128 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: the end of this, and we will continue to keep 129 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: you updated. 130 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: Next up on the run here, the Federal Reserve expected 131 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: to cut interest rates later today. Rates are currently at 132 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: their highest level in twenty three years. Today is going 133 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 4: to mark the first cut we've seen since March of 134 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: twenty twenty. Of course, that's back in the pandemic. Big 135 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 4: question though, not if, but how much they're going to cut. 136 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 4: Economists predict the Fed will make a standard reduction we're 137 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 4: used to seeing a quarter percentage point, but others believe 138 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 4: this could be a big cut, a half a percentage point. 139 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, the quarter point might not be earth shattering initially 140 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: for all of us in terms of how it will 141 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: affect us, But today's rate reduction is expected to be 142 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: just the begin They are anticipating further rate cuts in 143 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: November and December, so all of those added up together 144 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: could have a real impact on all of us consumers. 145 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: That could help home buyers with mortgage rates which have 146 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: surged alongside the FED rate hikes over the past few years, 147 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: making home ownership difficult, if not impossible, for many Americans. 148 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: So this will be welcome relief for consumers who are 149 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: in the market for a home or if you're looking 150 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: to buy a car, as well as for those carrying 151 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: pricey credit card debt. Now again, it won't be much 152 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: relief initially, but hopefully by their saying May of next year, 153 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: you will actually feel relief in your pocket. It should 154 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: be mentioned though, those who enjoyed higher rates on saving 155 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: accounts and CDs. 156 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: You're probably going to take a little bit of a 157 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: hit on that. 158 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: But please be patient here, folks. 159 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: Is going to be happening by the end of the year, 160 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: but some of these things take up to a year 161 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 4: for the rates to work through the financial system and 162 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: finally get to you. But still a sign at least 163 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: that a bit of relief is coming. 164 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: We have much more coming up here on the Morning Run. 165 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: We're going to be talking about President Trump getting booed 166 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: by his own supporters. 167 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: Stay with us, Welcome back everyone. 168 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: Our Run continues this morning with former President Trump talking 169 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: over booze coming from his own supporters. They were booing 170 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: while he was actually saying something positive about his opponent. 171 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: The Flint, Michigan crowd began booing when former President Trump 172 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: told them he had a quote very nice call with 173 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris who called to check in on 174 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: him after that second failed assassination attempt. 175 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 4: Now, he started by saying he had a very nice 176 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 4: conversation with President Biden, who called him first about the incident, 177 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 4: and that he appreciated that call. He moved on to 178 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 4: talk about the call that VP Harris gave him. Parts 179 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 4: of the crowd started booing just at the mention of 180 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: her name. Now, of course he took note of that 181 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: when it happened, but he didn't mind coming back to 182 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 4: this topic in this town hall he was at. He 183 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: repeated that the Vice president quote couldn't have been nicer. 184 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: Now, it should be mentioned this was a very different 185 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: tone from what we've been hearing from former President Trump 186 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: about his opponent. He's repeatedly said that she will ruin 187 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: the United States if she's elected president, calling both President 188 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris the enemy from within and the 189 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: real threats. 190 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: Trump and his running made j D Vans have been 191 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 4: widely criticized for their rhetoric during the campaign. They have 192 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 4: accused the Arrivals of going over the top in their criticism, however, 193 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 4: even suggesting that it has incited both assassination attempts on Trump. 194 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: And this is bizarre robes that we are at this 195 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: point that I relieved it was an exhale and my 196 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: shoulders went down just to hear President Trump say something 197 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: pleasant about Kamala Harris. He was just saying something pleasant 198 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: in her name. He didn't even compliment her necessarily. Thanks 199 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: for the call. Even hearing that is a surprise in 200 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 4: this current political climate. 201 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: And isn't that sad but also shocking that when someone 202 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: does say something and to your point, not necessarily kind 203 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: but just pleasant, just positive, how about just not negative, 204 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: that that could create even negativity within the crowd itself. 205 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: So you know, we've been saying this, but these assassination 206 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: attempts were real, scary and incredibly disturbing, and words do 207 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: matter coming from both sides, So continuing to point the 208 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: finger at one another certainly doesn't help. But we would 209 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: like more from Trump from what we saw yesterday. Next 210 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: up on the Run, it is a sad sign of 211 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: the times for an iconic American brand. Topperware has filed 212 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: for bankruptcy. 213 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: Say, this company has been around for seventy eight years, 214 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 4: but it's been struggling in recent years with lagging sales 215 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 4: and increased competition. 216 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: After a bit of a sales resurgence during the pandemic 217 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: and a plan to restructure, it's dead. There was some 218 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: hope out there that the company could actually make a comeback, 219 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: but unfortunately it did not happen. 220 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, Tupperware, I did not know this robes. It's been 221 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 4: a part of our lives for so long. But it 222 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 4: was actually founded where that name come from. Founded by 223 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 4: a guy named Earl Tupper in nineteen forty six. He 224 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 4: was a chemist. He used new plastics to develop food 225 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 4: storage containers with an air tight seal. 226 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: And then those products took off. 227 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: You think about tuperwere you think but nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties. 228 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: Those Tupperware parties. 229 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: So they had that direct to consumers sales strategy, and yes, 230 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: women were empowered. They were able to sell the products 231 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: from their own homes. They could create Tupperware parties with 232 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: their friends and their neighbors and it really took off, 233 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, well that's just not the times we're in 234 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: these days, and so sadly Tupperware has had to file 235 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: for bankruptc. 236 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 3: So they didn't change with the times. 237 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 4: A lot of people would argue, but I was asking you, 238 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 4: and we did talk about this right before we came on. 239 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 4: I can't name another brand that makes those containers. Yeah, 240 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: I'm sure everybody does, but. 241 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, you ask me, and the only name that comes 242 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: to my mind is Pyrex. 243 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 2: Does that even bring a belfree? 244 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I think it's only because maybe just 245 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: registering for gifts. 246 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: When you're getting married or something the Pyrex bowls. 247 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: But no, nothing comes close to becoming a household name 248 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: like Tupperware. 249 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 4: And if you want to just do a little bit 250 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 4: of a check, this is how you know how iconic 251 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 4: this brand is. When you want a tissue, what do people. 252 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: Often say, Kleenex? 253 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: Give me a Kleenex, Give me a Kleenex. 254 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: If you want to photocopy something, what do you say. 255 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: You xeroxy? 256 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: Yes, but this is one of those things. I need 257 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 4: to go get some Tupperware. Where's my Tupperware? It is 258 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 4: the name for those containers, no matter what it is 259 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 4: that a few things reached that level. 260 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Yes, they did, so it's it's legacy lives on even 261 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: if we aren't using perhaps their products, we might call 262 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: them by that name. 263 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 4: Anyway, we should say they are trying to save the 264 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: company right now, do some restructuring to keep some employees 265 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 4: on board and try to keep the company going. But 266 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: it doesn't look great right now, but still an icon 267 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 4: going away, a sign of the time and a bit 268 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 4: of a shorter run. We have these sometimes, don't we. 269 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: When we get out there this morning, you run a 270 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 4: little shorter. So we're on the final leg now. And 271 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 4: there's a mansion. It's been on the market for quite 272 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: a while. It was deemed unsellable, maybe even after sitting 273 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 4: on the market for twelve years, but it appears it 274 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 4: has a buyer. What mansion are we talking about, Well, 275 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: you will know it as soon as you see it, 276 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: as soon as you pull up to that front gate 277 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 4: and there's a large number twenty three. 278 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: That greets you. 279 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't miss it. 280 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's Chicago mansion. Of course, that's what we're talking about. 281 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: It looks like it is finally selling. After Jordan dropped 282 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: the price. I love this to fourteen million, eight hundred 283 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: and fifty five thousand. Those numbers are significant because when 284 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: you add each of those numbers up comes to a 285 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: sum of twenty three. And yes, that number his jersey number. 286 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: I didn't realize this for all but twenty three games 287 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: of his time with the Bulls. 288 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 2: That really is an important number in his life in 289 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: so many ways. 290 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, he originally listed this home way 291 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: back in twenty twelve for twenty nine million dollars. 292 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: The mark has changed a little bit. I guess. 293 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: This house is described as a fifty six thousand square 294 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 4: foot property as a regulation sized basketball gym. Of course, 295 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 4: it has a circular infinity pool, nice detail, a putting 296 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 4: green makes sense for him, tennis court, and a cigar room, 297 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: nine bedrooms, nineteen bathrooms, five fireplaces, a massive den, and 298 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 4: a futuristic kitchen with a huge center island. I like 299 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 4: the place, looked into it, but I need about twenty 300 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: two bathrooms. It only had nineteen, so. 301 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: I need a further price reduction. That was my issue 302 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: with it. 303 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: But you know, for anyone who's feeling sorry for Michael 304 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: Jordan for having to take that big cut on his mansion, 305 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: we should just point out, oh lord, he is that 306 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: his most recent yearly royalty check with Nike reportedly worth 307 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: around two hundred and sixty million dollars, and we believe 308 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: his net worth is now understood to have surpassed the 309 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: three billion marks. 310 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: So he's doing just fine. 311 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: And I think he can afford to sell his mansion 312 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: at a discount after having been on the market for 313 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: more than a decade. 314 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: This dude. 315 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 4: But he has a lot of two other properties. A 316 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 4: lot of people are familiar. He has more than two, 317 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 4: but the one he has in North Carolina, his home state, 318 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 4: and then the one he has in Jupiter, Florida, that exclusive, 319 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: exclusive community. That one is about forty three thousand square feet. 320 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: The one in North Carolina leaves around ten to twelve thousand. 321 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: Wow, you know a lot about Michael Jordan's real estate properties. 322 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm impressed. 323 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 4: I do, because I'm trying to follow his model of 324 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 4: building a portfolio. 325 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 3: I'm at zero right now. 326 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: I take fifty six hundred square feet versus fifty six thousand. 327 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: That's where I am in my life. 328 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: But if you're thinking that any of these homes is 329 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 4: the one we saw in that documentary that everybody watched 330 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 4: during the pandemic last dance. It is not that home 331 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 4: was actually one they just used to shoot in. It's 332 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 4: not his property. He wouldn't allow them to actually shoot 333 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 4: in his home. So a lot of people saw him 334 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 4: sitting in this big room by himself in one chair 335 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: like that. Plays is nice, but why isn't it decorated 336 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: a little more. It's not his grip all right. 337 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: Well, he has plenty of others to choose from, even 338 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: though he sold this one. So thank you everyone for 339 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: joining us on the morning run. Hope you'll run with 340 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: us again tomorrow.
