1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday, June

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: twenty third. I'm Amy Robach when.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm TJ Holmes on the Run this morning. Iran says

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: it will retaliate. Trump says you better not. And now

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: the world waits for what's next after the US attack

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 2: on Iran's nuclear program, an attack that we now know

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: involved a lot of public deception even from the President.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Himself and President Trump at odds with his administration regarding

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: regime change in Iran, the President saying he wants to

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: make Iran great again. Plus nearly two hundred million Americans

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: are sweltering in extreme heat the eastern half of the

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: United States under a dangerous heat dome.

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: Also this morning, a potential mass shooting at a Michigan

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: church averted by quick acting parishioners. Also, Texas is now

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: legally requiring schools to display the Ten Commandments every school

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: and in every single classroom.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: And the Diddy t T trial resumes for its seventh and

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: likely last week of testimony, as Diddy's defense is set

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: to begin and end this week, And a man whose

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: name you may not know but has likely impacted all

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: of our lives. Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx, has

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: passed at the age of eighty.

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: Also this morning, Elon Musk finally launches his long awaited

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: driverless robo taxi in Austin, Texas, and he promises it's

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: coming to a city near you and soon. Plus the

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: reviews are good, but the box office was bad, really

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: bad for Pixar's Elio actually was the worst ever and

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: heartbreak for the Indiana Pacers well before they lost Game

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: seven of the NBA Finals last night. Do you want

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: to say congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: big storyline had to do with the Indiana Pacers Superstar.

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. How you feeling this morning? I know you stayed

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: up late last night.

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I always do. Ready to go right?

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Well, we begin our run on this Monday with the

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: latest on the US attack on Iran. Iran has promised

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: retaliation after President Trump ordered those strikes on three nuclear

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: sites over the weekend, and now we wait to see

40
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: if they will actually follow through on that threat.

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: That President Trump advised against retaliation, reminding Iran that there

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: are quote many targets left and that quote any retaliation

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: by Iran against the United States of America will be

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 2: met with force far greater than this weekend strikes, which

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: Trump claims totally obliterated those nuclear facilities.

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: And we've gotten more fascinating details about how the US

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: military pulled off this plan completely undetected. According to the Pentagon,

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: seven B two bombers flew from Whiteman Air Force Base

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: in Missouri heading to Iran.

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had to refuel in flight a couple of

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: times as they made their way over the Atlantic to Iran.

52
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: This was an eighteen hour flight. This was happening as

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: another group of B two bombers was heading west to Guam.

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Those were decoys. Those were the ones that were widely

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: reported about in the media. Now, when the bombers reached

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: Iranian airspace, they were joined by other US aircraft and

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: the first bunker bus were dropped around two ten am

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: local time in Iran.

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Eventually, fourteen of those bombs were dropped and the operation

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: was over in twenty five minutes. The Pentagon said more

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: than one hundred and twenty five US military aircraft were

62
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: part of that operation. We're talking fighter jets, refueling planes,

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: surveillance planes. And remember when President Trump said he was

64
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: going to make up his mind in two weeks whether

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: to strike Iran.

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: Well, apparently that was a ruse.

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: Yes, several media outlets are reporting that the President had

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: already made up his mind to launch attacks when he

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: told the press that he was going to be thinking

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: about it for two weeks, and this was also part

71
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: of the deception. Meanwhile, so mixed messages we're getting now

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: from President Trump, Vice President of Vance, and Secretary of

73
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: State Marco Rubio about whether or not the US actually

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: wants regime change in Iran.

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Right, Rubio and Vance were out on the Sunday morning

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: shows unequivocally stating that regime change was not the goal

77
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: of the US in this operation. We don't want regime change.

78
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: We want to end the nuclear program. That is what

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Van said on NBC. Rubio was over on CBS saying

80
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: what we are focused on is not changing the regime.

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: But Trump said hold my beer because he was singing

82
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: a whole different tune later on social media, writing it's

83
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: not politically correct to use the term regime change, but

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran

85
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: great again, why wouldn't there be a regime change, and

86
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: he ended the message with Mega. So he has coined

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: a new phrase, Mega, an acronym for make Iran great again.

88
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: All right, next up on Iran. If you live east

89
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: of the Rocky Mountains, you are currently under what weather

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: experts are calling a heat dome. Nearly two hundred million

91
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: Americans are sweltering.

92
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: It's hot, it's humid. It's uncomfortable, of course, but it

93
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: is dangerous. Heat, folks, is the number one weather killer

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: in the US. Not flaws, not tornadoes, not hurricane Just

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: about everybody in the upper eastern half of the US

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: will be at one hundred degrees or it's sleeps gonna

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: feel like it's one hundred degrees plus today.

98
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: One weather expert put it this way.

99
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: From Minnesota to Maine, there are extreme heat watches and warnings.

100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: Now.

101
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: The heat dome is a weather phenomenon where high pressure

102
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere traps both heat and humidity. And unfortunately,

103
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: this is not a short term event. It began over

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: the weekend and it's gonna be with us through at

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: least Wednesday.

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. On Sunday, the heat index in Chicago reached one

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: hundred and three. It was eighty degrees there at seven

108
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning. Minneapolis meanwhile broke a record going

109
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: back to nineteen ten after they reached a high up

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: ninety six with a triple digit heat index. And Madison

111
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: was nasty hot as well, and it was just plain nasty.

112
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: They have this annual naked bike ride that they do

113
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: there and they had to do this in a one

114
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: hundred degree weather pretty much, so yeah, that's just nasty.

115
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

116
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: It was described as a sticky, sweaty affair. I don't

117
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: even want to envision that. And yet, unfortunately, somehow, I

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: am all right. Two Major League based while players actually

119
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: became ill from the extreme heat playing their games in

120
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: Saint Louis and in Chicago. And get this, Philly has

121
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: declared a heat emergency with the heat and dex expected

122
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: today to climb as high as one hundred and eight degrees.

123
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: I can't even get my head around that. Here in

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: New York City and Boston and DC all expecting triple

125
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: digit heat and deceased today as well. So folks, please

126
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: try to stay cool, stay inside, and drink tons of water.

127
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: And for the next leg of our run. Now, let's

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: head up to Michigan, and police say a church security

129
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: guard and church parishioners prevented a large scale mass shooting

130
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: by taking down a gunman at Sunday service. This was

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: at the Crossport Community Church in Wayne, Michigan. This is

132
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: just west of Detroit.

133
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: According to police, church service was going on when church

134
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: members notice a man get out of a car in

135
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: tactical gear and carrying two guns. He started shooting outside

136
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: the church, hitting one person in the leg, and was

137
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: making his way towards the church.

138
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 2: And that's when police say a church member ran him

139
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: down with his pickup truck and that gave church security

140
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: staff enough time to intervene. Security returned fire and killed

141
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: the gunman. The man who polisse was not affiliated with

142
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: the church but was having a severe mental health crisis.

143
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: But the one person who was shot in the leg

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: outside the church is believed to have non life threatening injuries.

145
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: So crisis or excuse me, I actould say a major tragedy

146
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: possibly averted here?

147
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.

148
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: Wow.

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: That's scary stuff, all right.

150
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, every public school in Texas

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: is now required to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

152
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: The state legislature passed the measure earlier this month, and

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: the governor. Governor Greg Abbott signed that bill into law

154
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend.

155
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: And this bill not only says the Ten Commandments should

156
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: be displayed in every classroom, it gives specifics about the

157
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: size of the display in order to make sure that

158
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: Ten Commandments are visible from anywhere in the classroom. Yes,

159
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: the bill actually says that the Ten Commandments must be

160
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: displayed on quote durable poster or framed copy on display,

161
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: and even gives the minimum size requirement. It has to

162
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: be sixteen inches wide and twenty inches tall.

163
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: That is specific.

164
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: Indeed, the law also addresses the possibility of schools saying

165
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: we don't have the money to pay for this display,

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: so if they can afford it, the law says schools

167
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: are required to accept any offer of privately donated Ten

168
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: Commandment displays. And well, you might not be surprised here,

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: but this is fully expected to get a legal challenge and.

170
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: Almost fully expected to lose. Similar laws have been tried

171
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: in Arkansas and Louisiana. A court rule just friday that

172
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: Louisiana's law was unconstitutional, and Arkansas's law is being challenged

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: as we speak. Also, the Supreme Court decades ago struck

174
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: down a ten commandments law in Kentucky, but the court's

175
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: current conservative lean is giving some proponents hope.

176
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 3: All right.

177
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, this is the seventh and

178
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: possibly final week of testimony in the Diddy trial. The

179
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: jury deciding Sean Comb's fate could begin deliberating in a

180
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: matter of days. The trial resumes this morning in Lower Manhattan,

181
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: with the prosecution expected to rest its case.

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have their so called summary witness on the

183
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: stand at Homeland Security Agent. He's going to continue to

184
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: his testimony this morning. He was up there on Friday.

185
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: He's going through text timelines, travel receipts, other documents, trying

186
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: to connect all the dots for the jury and show

187
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: that Combs was the one organizing and paying for all

188
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: these so called freakfs. The defense has said last week

189
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: that it only needs one to two days to put

190
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: on its case, so the judge said that closing arguments

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: are tentatively scheduled for this Thursday.

192
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: Wow, hard to believe it's almost over all right.

193
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: Next up on our run, Fred Smith has died at

194
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: the age of eighty. You might not know his name,

195
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: but you have undoubtedly depended on him at some point

196
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: in your life to get your Christmas gifts, your tax returns,

197
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: or merchandise delivered on time.

198
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Smith is the founder of fed X. He

199
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: died over the weekend of natural causes. According to the company,

200
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: Smith was a visionary who created a whole new industry

201
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 2: of express delivery. Is a Yale grad and a decorated

202
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: Marine Corpvette. He started the company in nineteen seventy three

203
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: in Memphis, promising to deliver parcels faster than the Post Office.

204
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: He started with fourteen planes flying to twenty five cities.

205
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: Today, the company has five hundred thousand employees, serves two

206
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty countries, and delivers seventeen million packages a day.

207
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen put it this way, Memphis has

208
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: lost its most important citizen. I love what you added

209
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: here at the end of the story, TJ. This is

210
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: what you found out.

211
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 3: He says.

212
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: He called his company Federal Express because he thought it

213
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: made his little company sound like a big deal.

214
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: And it worked. It's just FedEx now it works so perfectly.

215
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: What a visionary. I mean, what he did nobody was doing,

216
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: and he changed an industry. Everybody's trying to do what

217
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: they're doing now ups and all these other delivery services.

218
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: It's absolutely incredible. He has had such a common name, Fredsmith,

219
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: changed the world fred Smith. But yeah, what a what

220
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: a guy. And this is somebody I grew up knowing

221
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: so much about because I grew up there in the

222
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: Memphis area. So yeah, he talked about this being such

223
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: a success story or something we were proud of there.

224
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: That's really cool.

225
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: And I didn't know he hailed from Memphis, So that's

226
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: a nice note to know about your hometown.

227
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: All right, we'll stay with us here, folks on this

228
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: Monday morning run. When we come back, folks in Austin

229
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: have a new option for getting to and from places

230
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: and it won't be a driver behind the wheel. Also

231
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: coming up, how is it possible that a movie that

232
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: made twenty one million dollars is deemed a historic disappointment

233
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: and a disappointment in the NBA Finals last night not

234
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: just because the Pacers lost, but because of what they

235
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: lost in the first quarter. We continue on this Monday

236
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: morning run in Austin, Texas, where Elon Musk has launched

237
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 2: his first robo taxi ridse. He did this on Sunday

238
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: and the ride will cost you flat fee of four

239
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: dollars and twenty cents.

240
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people say he deliberately chose that price

241
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: point as a nod to marijuana, but we digress anyway.

242
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: The Guinea Pigs, a group of social media influencers and

243
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Tesla investors, many of whom as you might expected, posted

244
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: videos about their rides on social media, and they were

245
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: mostly described as uneventful. Some people talked about how cool

246
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: it was, but uneventful is certainly the way you want

247
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: this type of ride to go. While no one was

248
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: driving the vehicles, there was a human safety monitor on

249
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the passenger side where there were no pedals or steering wheels.

250
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound fun. For now, there are just a

251
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 2: dozen robotaxis and service in Austin. Musk says that will

252
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: grow to hundreds of thousands of vehicles next year. This

253
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: has been a decade long drink from Musk, whose ultimate

254
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: division is to launch his futuristic cyber cab without a

255
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: steering wheel or pedals. He's calling this a lounge on wheels.

256
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: He wants to launch this in the next few years.

257
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: While this is Tesla's official in into autonomous rides, Google

258
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: already has it's Weimo vehicles. Is that what they're calling it.

259
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

260
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: Weimo vehicles in place in San Francisco, Austin, Phoenix, in LA.

261
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: It's testing its vehicles with safety monitors in DC and

262
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: plans to expand to New York, Atlanta, and Miami.

263
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

264
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I had not heard anything of Weimo,

265
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: heard tons about robotaxis. But Weimo just completed its tenth

266
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: million paid ride. That's incredible. Well, how do you feel

267
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,479
Speaker 1: about getting into a robo.

268
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: Not getting into a vehicle that does not have a

269
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: driver behind the wheel. That's just it, And I'm not

270
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: going to come around on that. That's just me. Yeah.

271
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: No, I mean I don't know how I feel about

272
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: it yet. I'm going to give it some time and

273
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: some years of being tested before I agree to do that.

274
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: All right.

275
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Next up on our morning run, a movie that made

276
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: twenty one million dollars at the box office this weekend

277
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: is being called a huge disappointment. Not by us, This

278
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: is by people who rate these standards and what their

279
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: expectations are in the box office. Why was it such

280
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: a disappointment because it was the worst opening for a

281
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: Pixar movie ever.

282
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: This is lio I would say maybe you saw it

283
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 2: this weekend, but apparently a lot of you did not.

284
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: It's about a boy who dreams of meeting aliens. It

285
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: finished third at the box office despite positive reviews. So

286
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: we got positive reviews and twenty one million doesn't sound terrible.

287
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: But this movie is from Pixar, the storied animation studio

288
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: that set really high expectations for its films over the

289
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: years with the likes of mega hits like Toy Story,

290
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: The Incredibles, Cars, and Inside Out. In fact, Inside Out

291
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Too just may one point seven billion dollars last year,

292
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: so they have a high standard that they've set for themselves. Now,

293
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: Ilo cost an estimated one hundred and fifty million dollars

294
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: to make, so it's not off to a good start.

295
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a lot of making up to do.

296
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: The live action How to Train Your Dragon was on

297
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: top at the box office for a second straight weekend

298
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: and has now made an estimated three hundred and sixty

299
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: million dollars worldwide.

300
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: The new release, The One I'm.

301
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: Dying to See twenty eight years later, came in second

302
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: with a very respectable thirty million dollars, so we'll have

303
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: to add to that number soon.

304
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: Well reviewed as well, that one is very well reviewed.

305
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: In fact, one of the commercials they have been showing

306
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: as a quote from a creek that said, this is

307
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: the best film of the year. Wow, eight years later,

308
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: that's exciting. Well, final leg of our run this morning,

309
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: and it was heartbreak in the NBA Finals last night,

310
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: and it came long before a winner or a loser

311
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: was determined. At the final buzzer, Indiana Pacers superstar Tyrese

312
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: Haliburton went down to the floor in agony in the

313
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: first quarter and immediately began slapping the floor and with

314
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: emotion evident on his face, you could see him screaming, no, no, no,

315
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: he knew it was over, and by us looking at

316
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: him and his reaction, we knew it was over. Just

317
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: like that, the PACER's best player was out and they'd

318
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: have to try to win Game seven and the NBA

319
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: Championship without him. He of course, had been hampered by

320
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: a calf strain in his right leg, and it looks

321
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: like now something happened to where he popped his achilles oh,

322
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: possibly in that same right leg, reminiscent of something that

323
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,239
Speaker 2: happened to Kevin Durant in twenty nineteen in the NBA Finals.

324
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: He was out there, he was gonna try. It was

325
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: no way. They were not gonna let this kid play,

326
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: and he wasn't gonna play. But there was risk involved,

327
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: and sure enough, first quarter, the worst nightmare happened.

328
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: That is just so heartbreaking that despite hanging tough and

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: even having a slight lead at halftime, the Pacers were

330
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: not able to keep pace with the Oklahoma City Thunder

331
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: and n League MVP.

332
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgos Alexander, Kid, why did you give yourself out?

333
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, of course, I don't know how to

334
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: say that. Geez, I'm so.

335
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Shay Gilgious Alexander, Jay Gilgius Alexander, think about gorgeous.

336
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: He's not gorgeous, He's Gilgeous, all.

337
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: Right, I'll just call him Gilgious from now on. So

338
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: the Thunder one game seven, one oh three to ninety one, and.

339
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: They win the NBA title for twenty twenty five. This

340
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: is the first title for Oklahoma City, which won with

341
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: one of the youngest teams in league history. I believe

342
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: this is the second youngest team to ever make an

343
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. Guldas Alexander was named MVP of the NBA Finals.

344
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: He has now won just a handful of players to

345
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 2: ever win League MVP and Finals MVP in the same year.

346
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: The other people who do who've done this go by

347
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: just one name, lebron Kareem Shack, Magic Jordan. Jordan in

348
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: fact did it four times, but a few others on

349
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: that list. But this was an incredible year, a historic

350
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: year for that team. Congrats to them, and just you

351
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: just hate You want everybody to be full strength and

352
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: everybody to be at their best, and you hate to

353
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: see an injury like that.

354
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's tough to watch, but yes, congratulations to Oklahoma City. Well,

355
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: as you go about your Monday, we would like you

356
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: to consider this.

357
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: This is your quote of the day.

358
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: Doubt kills more dreams than failure. Ever will. I'm not

359
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: sure where you pluck the American poet I don't know.

360
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: The name, No, Susie Cassim.

361
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: I don't know who she is either, But I found

362
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: this quote and it stood out to me because I

363
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about it like that. Everyone is concerned or

364
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: worried about failing everyone. No one wants to think about

365
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: not succeeding, and that ends up being the dream killer.

366
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: It's not the failure. It's the doubt. It's the thought

367
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: that you can't do it, that you can't make it,

368
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: that you can't achieve it. I just thought that was

369
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: a really cool way to approach things and to maybe

370
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: rejigger your thinking. When you're trying to go for something

371
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: or achieve something, it's your doubt that's going to be

372
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: the dream killer, not the failure itself.

373
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: So i'd take that with you today on this Monday, folks,

374
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
