1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody, Welcome to Morning Run for this Thursday,

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: December twelfth, just thirteen days until Christmas.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Sign J Holds and I'm Amy Robach and on the run.

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: This morning, we have a who's who of headline makers

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: once again making major headlines in today's rundown, Donald Trump,

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, Bill Belichick, Selena Gomez, the Golden Bachelor, and

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Raygun our favorite break dancing Olympia man.

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: The headlines they're making range from sad to silly, to

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: celebratory to shocking. However, one that's not so shocking. Times

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: Person of the Year it's Trump, and to celebrate He's

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: coming to our neighborhood this morning. We'll explain.

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: Also this morning, they say the rich keep getting richer,

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: but come on, Elon, the eccentric billionaire has reached a

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: level of wealth that no one has ever achieved before.

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Also, you can't fire me. I quit. The FBI director

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: is getting out of before he's.

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Forced out, and evidence is piling up against the alleged

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: healthcare CEO killer, and police say they can now link

20
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni to the scene of the shooting.

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: Also, a controversial transgender issue has made its way into

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: the US defense spending bill, exactly where some lawmakers say

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: it should not be.

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Plus a heartbreaking announcement from Golden Bachelor Gary Turner, who

25
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: says a devastating cancer diagnosis was behind his quick divorce.

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Also wait, what, Wow, just wow. Perhaps the greatest coach

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: in NFL history is returning to coaching. Bill Belichick is

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: headed to Chapel Hill.

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: And you can't have My Kangaroo Hop. The widely panned

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Olympic breakdancer Raygun makes legal moves to shut down a

31
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: musical about her before it even opens.

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: And Selena Gomez is showing off her new jewelry. It's

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: of the diamond solitaire variety, if you get what I'm saying.

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: But first, we had a bit of breaking news this

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: morning from President Joe Biden. He's just announced thirty nine

36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: pardons and has commuted the sentences of fifteen hundred offenders.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: The White House says this is the largest number of

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: commutations ever issued in a single day. We heard from

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Biden who said America was built on the promise of

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: possibility and second chances. As President, I have had the

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: remorse and rehabilitation.

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: I we should say all of these are non violent offenders. Again,

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 2: thirty nine pardons, but he's commuted the sentence of some

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred others, all non violent. This is obviously what

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: presidents normally do just as they're about to leave the

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: White House. They do take this opportunity, they do have

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: this power. They all have done it. And the previous

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: record for the most ever done in a single day

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: was by President Obama. That record was three hundred and thirty.

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: So President Biden has blown that record out of the

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: water with these fifteen hundred. But of co course this

53
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: will be talked about so much because of the other

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 2: major pardon that Biden just issued just a week or

55
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: so ago.

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: Perhaps he's trying to bury that lead by making the

57
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: number of commutations five times more than President Obama. And

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: there may be more to come, because Biden has hinted

59
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and said that he will take more steps in the

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: week's coming. His administration is going to continue to review

61
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: clemency petitions to advance equal justice under the law, he said,

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: to promote public safety, support rehabilitation and re entry, and

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: again to provide those meaningful second chances. So we will

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: likely be reporting on more in the coming days and.

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: More details that come about all of these, of course,

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: but all the focus will be on probably trying to

67
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: see how some of these stack up against his son,

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's pardon that he issued for him that became

69
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: such a political hot potato, I guess you could say,

70
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: but a lot of people criticize that move. We'll see

71
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: what happens now is just going to get a lot

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: more attention because of that pardon.

73
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: All right, Let's continue our morning run now with Times

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: per of the Year, and it's someone who publicly speculated

75
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: he would never be chosen for the title, but now

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: he's been chosen twice. Yes, of course you know by

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: now President Alec Donald Trump is Time Magazine's Person of

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the Year, made official today once again.

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: And Time has been doing this, as you know, for

80
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: a long time, but since nineteen twenty seven, annually picking

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: a personal group that believes has the greatest influence on

82
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: the world for good or for ill. Now, to celebrate

83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: the honor, Trump is coming to our neighborhood. He's going

84
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: to be ringing the opening bell at the new York

85
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: Stock Exchange today. We are sitting right now in our

86
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: home looking out the window. We can damn near see

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: the Stock Exchange from where we sit, so we know

88
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: this area very well. We always walk by there taking

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: s beIN to school in the morning. We might avoid

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: that area this morning, definitely should however, on the way

91
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: with Trump. As a part of this, he did sit

92
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: down for a wide ranging interview with Time magazine in

93
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: anticipation of this honor.

94
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: Yes, Time named Trump person of the Year back in

95
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Certainly makes sense after he was unexpected elected

96
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: president that year. This year, his remarkable come back to politics,

97
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: his resounding win made him a shoe in. Over the years,

98
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Trump has regularly and repeatedly weighed in on Time's annual

99
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: hour honor.

100
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: And by weighing in, we mean he has been critical

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: of the magazine. He and twenty eleven criticized Time for

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: picking the protester as its Person of the Year, the

103
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: protester that was around the Arab Spring. Then in twenty

104
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: twelve he said he lost the Time magazine lost all

105
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 2: credibility because it didn't list him among the one hundred

106
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: most influential people of the year, and In twenty fifteen,

107
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: he took your shoe with Time, naming German Chancellor Angela

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: Merkel it's person of the year. He posted, I told

109
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: you Time magazine would never pick me as Person of

110
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: the Year, despite being the big favorite. They picked the

111
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: person who is running ruining, not running, excuse me ruining Germany.

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: It's funny when I read that, I saw I thought

113
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: the same thing running. Oh no, he said, ruining, And

114
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: of course the next year he was then named a

115
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Person of the Year. He also reportedly private complained about

116
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: last year's recipient, Taylor Swift. Publicly he complained about her,

117
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: recently posting I hate Taylor Swift after she endorsed Kamala

118
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Harris this year. By the way, every US president since FDR,

119
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: with the exception of Gerald Ford, has been named Person

120
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: of the Year at least once. President Joe Biden and

121
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris were co named after they defeated

122
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: Trump back in twenty twenty.

123
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: And the way this goes, this is always a who's who.

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: So we had Taylor Swift last year. Before that it

125
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: was President Zelensky of Ukraine and before that Elon Musk.

126
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Those are the last three we have seen. So these

127
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: are always big headline makers. And once again at I'd

128
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: like them, love them, hate them. You can't argue with this.

129
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: You cannot do. This is just he was certainly the

130
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: most talked about person of the year.

131
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: At the very least, we'll continue our run. Was still

132
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: talking about Donald Trump here, and he is not going

133
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: to get a chance to say you're fired to FBI

134
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: Director Christopher Ray. Ray beat him to the punch and

135
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: announced yesterday that he would resign before Trump takes office.

136
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: Something had to give here because Trump didn't exactly make

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: it a secret that he's not a fan of Rays.

138
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: He criticized Ray repeatedly and publicly. Plus, Trump is already

139
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: nominated Cash Pattel to be the new FBI director.

140
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: So the writing was on the wall here that Ray

141
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't continue as FBI director in Trump's new term, And

142
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: in the meeting with FBI employees yesterday, Ray said, quote,

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: after weeks of careful thought, I've decided the right thing

144
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: for the bureau is for me to serve until the

145
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: end of the current administration in January and then step down.

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: FBI directors typically serve ten year terms, and Ray was

147
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: appointed by Trump during his first term, he still had

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: another two years on it. Trump reacted to the news

149
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: by alluding to why he soured on Ray as FBI director,

150
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: saying this in a social media post, the resignation of

151
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray is a great day for America, as it

152
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: will end the weaponization of what has become known as

153
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: the United States Department of Injustice. Under the leadership of

154
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray, the FBI illegally rated my home without cause,

155
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: worked diligently on Illa, legally impeaching and indicting me, and

156
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: has done everything else to interfere with the success and

157
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: future of America. Trump does not mince words.

158
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: He does. It's unfors this constant drum beef for the

159
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: biggest names in our government saying that something is wrong

160
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: with the justice system when it doesn't work for them,

161
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: and so it tells every I mean, like I say,

162
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: everybody in Rikers Island. Well let them all make that

163
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: argument as well. Just the justice system doesn't work my evidence,

164
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: The President said it, I would like to cause my

165
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: next witness.

166
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that could that could bring about a whole, like

167
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot of ripple effects, right, if that indeed

168
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: is true, and you could use that in illegal argument.

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: Uh oh, well, like to call Joe Biden's my next witness.

170
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: All right, we'll continue our run on this Thursday morning

171
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: with a defense spending bill, which is essentially a must

172
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: pass piece of legislation that funds the US military. Well,

173
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: it didn't get the overwhelming bipartisan support this year that

174
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: it usually does. It is a behemous of a bill

175
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: eight hundred and thirty five billion dollars, but a number

176
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: of Democrat and even Republicans opposed it and voted against

177
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: it because of a provision that targets transgender children of

178
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: US service members.

179
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: The bill would prohibit the military's health care program from

180
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: providing gender affirming medical care for trans kids. It states

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: there will be no medical treatment for military dependents under

182
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 1: the age of eighteen who were diagnosed with gender dysmorphia.

183
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: The top Democrat of the Arm Service Committee called it

184
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: a harmful and wrong addition, and said it could even

185
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: force some service members to choose between continuing a military

186
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: career or having to leave an order to get health

187
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: care for their child.

188
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: Now House Speaker Mike Johnson pushed for the inclusion of

189
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: the ban, with some Democrats saying he was simply trying

190
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: to win favor with some of the more conservative members

191
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: of his own party head of a vote next month

192
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: on whether he is going to keep his job as

193
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: Speaker of the House. The House passes bill two eighty

194
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 2: one to one forty. It now heads over to the Senate.

195
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: Also included in the bill a ban on the teaching

196
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: of critical race theory at military institutions, and it continues

197
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: a hiring freeze on Pentagon positions related to diversity, equity,

198
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: and inclusion. There is some good stuff in there too,

199
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: a fourteen point five percent raise for junior service members,

200
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: a four point five raise for all service members across

201
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: the board, and that certainly was hard to vote against.

202
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they has some great stuff in there, and they've

203
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: been negotiating this thing for weeks and then you get

204
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 2: this other thing.

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Why they do that all the time. That's their way,

206
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: that's the game, and that's how they play it.

207
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: You're targeting kids of your service member.

208
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: He needs to keep his job DJ now that's what happens. Unfortunately,

209
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: one's tough.

210
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: We're going to continue our run here. We're going to

211
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: head back to New York where the fingerprints and shellecasings

212
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: found at the scene of last week brazen the killing

213
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Well, they have now

214
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: been directly linked to the shooting suspect Luigi Mangioni. This

215
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: is all now according to the NYPD.

216
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: Yes, please say the fingerprints found on a water bottle

217
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: and a protein bar rapper found you're the scene of

218
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: the attack match Mangioni's prints. Investigators have also been able

219
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: to match the gun they found in Mangioni's backpack when

220
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: police apprehended him in Pennsylvania with the three shellcase scenes

221
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: found at the scene of the shooting in Midtown Manhattan.

222
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: So Veillan's cameras were used and police been able to

223
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: trace Mangioni back to a Starbucks before the attack. He

224
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: used cash to buy that bottle of water and a

225
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 2: protein bar. He is currently in Pennsylvania waiting charges in

226
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: New York that include second degree murder.

227
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: His lawyer said he will fight extradition to New York

228
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: and plans to plead not guilty to all the charges.

229
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: In fact, we heard from his attorney who said, we're

230
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: going to fight this along the rules and with the

231
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: constitutional protections that my client has. He says, I haven't

232
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: seen any evidence that says he's the shooter. But police

233
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: very much disagree with that statement.

234
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, for most of the viewing public, you said you

235
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: haven't seen evidence. Turn the TV on is what some

236
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: people are responding. Really true, it's true of all of that,

237
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: but hey, that's not how our legal system works. You

238
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: got to approve it in court. We'll stay with us

239
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: here on this morning. Ryan, when we come back, we

240
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 2: knew Elon was rich, but come on, dude, welcome back

241
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: to this Thursday morning run and we continue now with this.

242
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: As if being the richest person in the world wasn't enough,

243
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has just hit an even higher milestone. His

244
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 2: net worth has just reached four hundred billion dollars, making

245
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: him the first person in the world to ever cross

246
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: that mark.

247
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: One of Musk's company's, SpaceX, well, its valuation jumped up

248
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: to roughly three hundred and fifty billion yesterday, boosting his

249
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: personal vault up twenty billion dollars, which put him over

250
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: the four hundred billion mark. Musk is the chief executive

251
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: of SpaceX of Tesla. He's the owner of X, as

252
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: well as CEO of several other ventures. Tesla shares by

253
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: the Way were also way up. They closed at a

254
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: record high yesterday.

255
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: And Musk is Tesla's largest individual shareholder since Trump. On

256
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: the election, Tesla Stott has rallied. It's gone up sixty

257
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: five percent since the election. Investors believe that Musk's influence

258
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 2: in the Trump administration will bring an era of deregulation

259
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: that will benefit Tesla, because you know who's in charge

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 2: of that deregulation. Elon Musk. He is in charge, as

261
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: you know, that brand new Department of Government Efficiency. Dojah

262
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: is that the.

263
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Do It's like doge coin. They did it on purpose

264
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: to bring attention to his cryptocurrency that he loves.

265
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: Not doja cat.

266
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: I went yes, doge coin.

267
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: Sorry about that. But he's overseeing that department along with

268
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: favek Ramaswami. So he is the one that's supposed to

269
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: make the government run better. He is in charge of that.

270
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: So he's in charge of the deregulation that's going to

271
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: benefit his own company.

272
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: This is, I mean, making him the richest man ever known.

273
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: In four years, he will be richer than he is

274
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: right now.

275
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: It's crazy, all right. Next up on the run, some

276
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: sad news to share with everyone. Golden Bachelor star Geary

277
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Turner has announced he has cancer, and he said that

278
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: that news weighed heavily in his decision to get divorced

279
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: from his co star, esanesssed and he said he wanted

280
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: to make the diagnosis public at this point, in part

281
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: to clear up the mystery surrounding his abrupt and frankly

282
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: shocking divorce after a whirlwin engagement and a televised wedding

283
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: that we all watched.

284
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: And it was while filming The Golden Bachelor that Turner

285
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: finally made time to see a doctor for a shoulder

286
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: injury he had suffered years ago. When doctors did his

287
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: blood work, they found some abnormalities and ultimately that led

288
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: to the diagnosis of bone marrow cancer. He said there's

289
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: no cure for what he has, and he was in

290
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: denial for quite some time about it, but made the

291
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: decision that he just couldn't uproot his life and join

292
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: his then wife Nist and moved to South Carolina.

293
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: He went on to say, and I'll quote him here,

294
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: I wanted my life to continue on as normal as possible,

295
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: and that led me to believing that as normal as

296
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: possible meant more spending time with my family, my two daughters,

297
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: my two sons in law, my granddaughters, and the importance

298
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: of finding the way with Teresa was there, but he

299
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: said it became less of a priority. And I think

300
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: we all remember this. Rumors and this is such an

301
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: important point to make. Rumors spread very quickly online. Everyone

302
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out why the couple would have

303
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: broken up just three months after getting married, and people made,

304
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, some very unfortunate guesses. Well, Turner said, now

305
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: that he's made his diagnosis public, he hopes people will

306
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: quote look at things a little bit differently now. And

307
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: this goes to what you've said so often, you just

308
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: don't know what other people are going through.

309
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: This makes me so so sad because I know a

310
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: lot of people directed all kinds of hate and anger.

311
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: People had questions. I was curious, but people directed so

312
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: much at him. And the first thing I said to

313
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: you about this story this morning was going back to

314
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: Kate Middleton when everybody about that picture and they were

315
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: going after her. I said it on the podcast, you

316
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: know what, Let's take a beat. Let's just see what's

317
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: going on. Please, everybody, give folks a break. You do

318
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: not know what's going on in their lives, and this

319
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: guy something happened in such a public way. He's going

320
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: he's through cancer.

321
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're also quick to job.

322
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: Just try to give people just a beat, just a

323
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: little break, because they're going through something. All Right, We're

324
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: going to continue our run now with a say what

325
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: legendary Super Bowl winning coach Bill Belichick is coming back

326
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: to coaching, but not on an NFL sideline. He is

327
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: going to Chapel Hill to coach the University of North Carolina.

328
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: The seventy two year old Belichick has agreed to a

329
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: five year old, five year deal and he's going to

330
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: be the head coach of the Tarios.

331
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: And it's hard to put into context just how stunning

332
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: and jaw dropping of a move this is. And so yeah,

333
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: TJ wrote this line because I wouldn't have been able

334
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: to do it for you. This is a man who

335
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: was widely considered among the greatest NFL coaches of all time.

336
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: He won six Super Bowls during his twenty four years

337
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: at the helm of the New England Patriots. He's the

338
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: second winning this NFL coach of all time. But he's

339
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: never coached in college in his entire career. So why

340
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: make this move.

341
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: Well, since he and the Patriots parted ways about a

342
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: year ago, Belichick has stayed active and involved with football

343
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. He's been popping up at college games

344
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: here and there actually, as well as making appearance on

345
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: sports television. But it's been no secret that he did

346
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 2: want to coach again. It's just that most folks assumed

347
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: it was going to be in the NFL somewhere.

348
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Belichick sendedive statement. I grew up around college football

349
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: with my dad and treasured those times. I've always wanted

350
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: to coach in college and now I look forward to

351
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: building the football program in Chapel Hill. And he does

352
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: have a lot of work cut out for him to

353
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: build that program because North Carolina, well, it's kind of

354
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: more of a basketball school, would you say.

355
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: Without question due to North Carolina maybe the greatest rivalry

356
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: and all of sports. But it's odd. This is a

357
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: program that hasn't won a conference title in forty five years,

358
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: and they usually are somewhere in the middle to losing season.

359
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: Every once in a while they'll pop up and have

360
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: a good one. But this is not an elite football program.

361
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 2: That's just the case. But he is now in charge

362
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: of trying to turn it around. Now, he did mention

363
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: as Robot just said, there his dad and his statement, Well,

364
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: Pops was an assistant coach with the Tar Hills back

365
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: in the fifties, so some connection there. Belichick, we mentioned

366
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: seventy two years old. He is now the oldest coach

367
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 2: in college football in its highest division. At least that's

368
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: seventy two years old. So it is I am, this

369
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: is exciting to have this kind of added to college

370
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: We're big college football fans. Bring them all. Dion doing

371
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 2: this thing that just makes football fun.

372
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: I agree, agree, And you know what, smart move on him,

373
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: because there's no where to go but up.

374
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: Sounds like there's nothing. There's six and six.

375
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: That's a smart move.

376
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're so excite. Everybody wants to go see football there. Now,

377
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: why Belichick, I'll go to Acoun. I'm curious to see

378
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: North Carolina play.

379
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: It kind of feels like he can't lose all right.

380
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, We're gonna head down Under

381
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: to Sydney, Australia, where there was.

382
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: This It's not the right way to say that down under?

383
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: What was the feat down under? Thank you? I wanted

384
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: to say Melbourne, but it was Sydney. Unfortunately, all right, Sydney, Australia,

385
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: that's where we're going. There was a final curtain call

386
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: even before the opening act. A parody musical inspired by

387
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: our favorite Olympic breakdancer, Raygun, was shut down hours, just

388
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: hours before it was set to debut.

389
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: And this is not a joke. She was probably our

390
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: favorite Olympian. I know Sabom Biles with bypologies, but there

391
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: was a reason for this. Lawyers, though representing Rachel Gunn,

392
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: who is known as ray Gun. That's her breaking name,

393
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: she threatened legal action if Breaking the Musical went on

394
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: as planned. It shows writer and star took to social

395
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: media to say that her attorneys were worried that the

396
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: producers were damaging Raygun's brand, and the producer said that's

397
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: actually something I would never do. She added that the

398
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: others were concerned that people would think that Rachel Gunn

399
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: was affiliated with the musical.

400
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: So in case you need to be familiarized with ray Gun,

401
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: first of all, please just Google because you need to

402
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: see the videos, but I can describe them. She was

403
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: the thirty seven year old who became an unlikely star

404
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: at the Paris Olympics this summer, representing Australia in a

405
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: new sport of breaking, but not in the way she

406
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: would have helped. Gun became the source of countless memes

407
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: online after her dance moves included a kangaroo hop and

408
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: some other strange moves where she was lying and crawling

409
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: on the floor to which I can give no name.

410
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: Okay, she did not win a single point, folks, and

411
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 2: the judges not one. She got not one, not a

412
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: single point the whole time. So she lost eighteen to

413
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 2: zero in all three rounds that she participated in. It

414
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: didn't help that this was the debut of breaking in

415
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: the Olympics and it didn't happen till the second week

416
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: because we had been anticipated everybody's waiting. She was maybe

417
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: the first or second performer, so we all eyes were

418
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: on it and that's what we all saw. So that

419
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: didn't help. Now she announced that she was going to

420
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: retire from the sport. She announced that recently because of

421
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: all the backlash and now this canceled musical that was

422
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: planning to retell her story. Well it is not going

423
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: to go out.

424
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, at least for now, we don't know what's going

425
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: to happen in the future. But according to the show's

426
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: creator and star, this is kind of crazy. Guns lawyers

427
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: trademarked her musicals poster, which features the silhouette of Gun's

428
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: famous Kangaroo Hop, and they told her that she cannot

429
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: perform that dance move the Kangaroo Hop because Gun owns it.

430
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that's.

431
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,239
Speaker 1: How trademarks work. The proceeds for the event were going

432
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: to be donated to a local charity. They weren't even

433
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: that big that supported women and children. So she was

434
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: just like, this legal action threatening her just didn't financially

435
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: make sense. So she's going to refund any anyone who

436
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: spent money on the ticket. I think they were about

437
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: it translates to about eight bucks US dollars a ticket.

438
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: Well, they say the lawyers said they had to take

439
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: these steps to safeguard Rachel's creative rights in the integrity

440
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: of her work, but they were respectful. Actually the other side,

441
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 2: the writers of this show, they actually apologized to her

442
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: for any negativity she may have received because of the

443
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: planned musical and says she was trying to make Gun

444
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 2: feel like the icon she believes she can be in Australia.

445
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: I kind of appreciated the side the writers of the show, Yeah,

446
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: coming out and how they say it didn't sound like

447
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: they were trying to make fun of her.

448
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: It seemed genuine and they were just exploring the entertainment

449
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: value and truly like, yes, she scored zero points, but man,

450
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: that was one of the more memorable and entertaining parts

451
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: of the Olympics. Maybe breakers don't like it so much

452
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: because they wanted respect for their sport, so that I

453
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: get that that's a little problematic. But I do believe

454
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: her that she was you know, comedy art. I mean,

455
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: it is a nod to somebody's influence on culture, and

456
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: that's certainly what happened with Reygun.

457
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: But we did appreciate and we respected her. At the end,

458
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: we were confused to by the performance, That's no way

459
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: to put it, but you know, I applauded her for

460
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: being out there.

461
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, all right for the final leg of our run,

462
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Let's cross the finish line with some love. Selena Gomett

463
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: showing off some new jewelry, specifically a diamond solitaire on

464
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: her left ring finger. Gomez posted photos of herself wearing

465
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: a very large and very beautiful, might I add Marquete

466
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: cut diamond ring and then hugging her now fiance, music

467
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: producer Benny Blanco.

468
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: I love this, she captioned the post Forever begins now.

469
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: Then to make sure we all got athknew just for

470
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: emphasis here. Benny left a comment on the post, saying, hey, wait,

471
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: that's my wife. I like that. The two started dating

472
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: last summer, that they've known each other for nearly twenty

473
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: years and collaborated on the song I Can't Get Enough.

474
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: That was five years ago.

475
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Then, ironically, and you'll get why I say ironically. It

476
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: wasn't until the two were working on her song single

477
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: Soon that they finally got together and we're no longer single.

478
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: Flanco recently said in an interview about Selena, I love this.

479
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: She's truly my best friend. We laugh all effing day.

480
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: She inspires me.

481
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: She had famously been single for quite a while Selena

482
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: and talked about that as well in some of her

483
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 2: struggles being single, and she even said she was considering

484
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 2: adopting if she hadn't met someone by the time she

485
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: was thirty five. She's now thirty two, and she said, quote,

486
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 2: it just happens when you least expected. You know this story.

487
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: I love love and I am rooting for those two.

488
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: And Benny Blanco, he's been around for a long time,

489
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: not as out there some other producers, if you will,

490
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: like you know DJ Kalvin right right right, Benny Blanco

491
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: has it moves like Jagger.

492
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: Yes, so good.

493
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: Katie Perry's teenage dreams that was him. So he's had

494
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: his hands and a bunch of hits with the biggest

495
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: names in the industry.

496
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's so sweet to see them celebrate each

497
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 1: other and support each other. And uh, yes, we are

498
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: rooting for them. And I love that they were friends first.

499
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: That's always a cool story.

500
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: Why do you like that so much?

501
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: Because it's our story.

502
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: Let's move on. So what we want you to take

503
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: with you as you go about your day. It's your

504
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: quote of the day. We want you to take with you.

505
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: Consider this.

506
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: Sometimes God's way of answering prayers is not by removing

507
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: the pressure, but increasing your strength to bear it.

508
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 2: We all do well our problems. Sometimes is just go away.

509
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: But sometimes that's not the point. Sometimes you need to

510
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 2: be shored up. Sometimes you need to be working out

511
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: a little more to deal with what's in front of you,

512
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: and it's not just going to go away, so that

513
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: is a blessing as well. I always love this quote

514
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: just because the problem that'll go away, it doesn't mean

515
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: that God didn't answer your prayer.

516
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: I love that too. I think I love another quote

517
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: that's along these lines, saying there aren't problems. There are

518
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 1: always going to be problems, but they aren't really problems.

519
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: They're just situations that need to be handled. I like

520
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: thinking about it like that. But we'll give you the

521
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: quote of the day one more time.

522
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: Sometimes God's way of answering prayer does not by removing

523
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 2: the pressure, but increasing your strength to bear. And with

524
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 2: that we always appreciate you running with us. Thanks for

525
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: hanging on this Thursday. We'll see you back here tomorrow.

526
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: I'm PJ Hal and I'm Amy Robock. Have a great day, everyone,
