Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Good
morning everyone, It's Tuesday, May sixth, Welcome to Morning Run.
I'm Amy Robots.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And I am TJ. Holmes, and we are the why
don't we? We are the son and daughter of educators.
And today is a big deal. It's teacher Appreciation Day,
so we should always stop me. We should give them
more love. I just on one day we designate, But
teachers have been a lot to us grown up.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh, without a doubt. My mom, several of my aunts
all educators, and uncles all educators, and proudly so it
was I had family members as teachers in my high school.
So it was always a big part of my life.
And yes, they do so much. They are creating the
future of this country, and we certainly should give them
appreciation this day and frankly on every day. And some money, yes,
(00:51):
exactly more than an apple.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Please let's get that in there. But yeah, sappy teacher
Appreciation Day to you all, and let's get going on
this Tuesday morning and on the run this morning. Here's
a plane ticket and one thousand dollars now leave the country.
That's Trump's new immigration plan. Pay people to self deport.
Also on other eyebrow raising Trump News, the President makes
(01:14):
a move to punish Harvard University some more, this time
to the tune of eight billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Let's stay on the Trump train, as Trump tells reporters
he had nothing to do with that photo of himself
as pope, even though it was posted on his personal
and White House social media accounts, And turns out it
will be more painful for Americans to buy those thirty
dollars Trump referred to last week as Mittel announces a
price hike because of Trump's tariffs.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Also on the run this morning, it is day two
of the Diddy trial. On day one, nearly three dozen
potential jurors were questioned about their prior knowledge of the case. Plus,
this morning, police arrest a man who crashed into the
gate of Jennifer Aniston's home while she was there, And
one of the more surreal lawsuit we have ever reported on.
(02:02):
You are never going to believe why a fan is
suing the NFL for a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I had to reread it. It was that shocking, and Rihanna,
speaking of shocking, still the show at last night's met
Gala not because of what she was wearing, but because
of what she is carrying.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And despite the downboar, last night, fashion as big as
night did not disappoint, showcasing black dandyism. Now, I haven't
seen robes a lot of the outfits just yet. I
know you saw more. We'll get into your favorites. But
as always, people made quite a scene.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You were gonna love this one because I know you
always say a lot of times men when they come
up on the red carpet, it's fairly boring. They've got
the tuxedos. On last night, My goodness, fashion was fierce
and you're gonna want to check out some of these looks.
They were pretty incredible. But we're gonna begin our run
on this Tuesday morning in Washington, d C. The Trump
(02:55):
administration taking a new approach to deal with undocumented immigrants
in this country. The Department of Homeland Security now is
offering to pay people one thousand dollars and a plane
ticket home if they voluntarily leave the United States. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The Department of Whole Land Security said that people who
are interested in self deporting can use a government app
you might have heard about. It's called CBP home app.
The CBP stands for Customs and Border Protection. You can
download this thing and then once you get it, you
put in your biographical data, some documents, some facial images,
and your geolocation to prove that you've actually left the country.
(03:31):
The feature of the app can only be accessed after
someone is at least three miles outside of the US,
and once the identity and location is verified, the government
will pay up.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah. A Homeland Security spokesperson said immigrants without legal status
have already been using the app to book travel back
to their home countries. They actually pointed to a few
specific plane tickets that have already been purchased. DHS Secretary
Christinomes said, self deportations, and I'm going to quote here
or here are the best, safest and most cost effective
(04:01):
way to leave the US and avoid being arrested. According
to DHS, one deportation costs the US taxpayers more than
seventeen thousand dollars. So by that math, they say, hey,
the thousand dollars and some transportation costs just make economic sense.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well at a company that tracks app downloads said this app,
the CBP Home app, has been downloaded nearly three hundred
thousand times since the beginning of the year, and it's
currently being downloaded at a rate of fifteen hundred times
a day. DHS also said that self deportation through the
app may help preserve the option for people to re
enter the US legally in the future, may help get
(04:40):
you back into the.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Car that is the operative work future. No guarantees on
that one. Next up on our run, President Trump says
some people just can't take a joke. The joke. He's
referring to an AI generated image of him dressed as
the Pope that was posted to social media while the
world was still and is still mourning the death of
(05:01):
Pope Francis.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, that was freaking hilarious. Plenty of people obviously were
not laughing at this, including a whole bunch of prominent
Catholics who took issue with the image of President Trump.
You may have seen this by now. He's dressed as
the Pope in a white cassock with a cross around
his neck and in papal headdress. Again, to be clear,
here there's an AI generated image. He didn't actually dress
up this way, but sure looked like it in the picture.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Speaking in the Oval Office yesterday, the President revealed he
had nothing to do with the image, saying I had
nothing to do with it. He went on to say,
somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the
pope and they put it on the internet. That's not
me that did it. I have no idea where it
came from. Maybe it was Ai, but I know nothing
about it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Maybe it was Ai. How else was he in all
of that? Garb? All right? Even so, even though he
had nothing to do with it, the image was shared
by someone to his social media page and to the
official White House social media account. The President also mentioned
this is great that Malania thought it was nice. But
he added this, and I'm quoting him here, actually I
(06:03):
would not be able to be married, though, he said,
to the best of my knowledge, popes aren't big on
being married, are they not? That we know of? End quote.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's just a great quote. Well, he went on to
say that Catholics love the image. However, he didn't talk
to some Catholics, the New York State Catholic Conference in particular. Look,
we kind of smile through this story, and we get
some of this silliness and talking about the pope being
married and all this, but this quote from this group
kind of sums it up. And you have to listen
(06:33):
right when you hear this, We just buried our beloved
Pope Francis, and the cardinals are about to enter a
solemn conclave to elect a new successor of Saint Peter.
Do not mock us. You gotta that sums it.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Absolutely take that. And you know, the conclave begins tomorrow,
so we'll be talking a lot about a new pope
here coming up. Maybe not that's so funny. I was
going to say, maybe Trump learned a lesson, but I.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Think not that those words are going to come back
to bite you, probably tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right, probably this morning. Let's see what happens next. All right, well,
how about this for what's next? It just keeps escalating.
The back and forth between the Trump administration and Harvard
University has reached another level. The Department of Education has
announced it is pausing eight billion dollars in grant funding
for the Ivy League school and that includes and this
(07:23):
is really important funding for medical research. It's gone.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, Department of Education told reporters this. Harvard is not
eligible for any new grants from the federal government until
they demonstrate responsible management of the university. I mean that
seems like the goldpost could keep moving. What does that
even mean? The department said that Harvard has not been
able to combat anti semitism and discrimination on its campus
and has become quote a leftist institution that limits viewpoint diversity.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The Trump administration stuation, as you may remember, already froze
two point two billion dollars in funding for Harvard last
month while it launched an anti semitism task force review
the school, and Trump has also threatened to take away
the university's tax exempt status. But no word on any
developments with that threat.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
All right, We're going to continue on the Trump train here.
Now next up on the run. You remember, it was
just last week President Trump predicted that American kids might
have to sacrifice during his trade war, saying that dolls
might cost a little more. Apparently that includes the most
famous doll in.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The world, Mattel. Of course, the maker of Barbie, said
yesterday it would increase prices as a direct result of
tariffs and the uncertainty in the economy they've caused. This
is how they put it. We are taking pricing actions
in our US business, which the translation is TJ.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Your shit's going to cause a little more. It's funny
how they put it. They find a delicate way to
give you bad news. And look, I'll give them credit
for that, but that's all they're saying.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Pricing actions means we're raising the price.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Pricing actions well, they didn't get into specifics. We don't
exactly know which toys are going to see price increases
and by how much. But this is not a good
sign of things to come, as tell so that they're
without taking some kind of action, the tariffs could cost
the company two hundred and seventy million dollars this year.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And get this, an estimated eighty percent of toys sold
here in the United States are made in China. Mattel
is asking for zero tariffs on toys because of that.
But yeah, this all American doll, Barbie, this has never
been produced in the United States. It's been made in
(09:34):
China and other parts of Asia since it was introduced
back in nineteen fifty nine. Again, look, the all American
doll never made in America.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
This makes sense. I guess so much stuff has made
overseas because of labor costs, But it just stopped me
in my tracks for a second. Barbie, this is our
this is it. This is Barbie, this is American doll.
Not a bit of it ever been made in the US.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We should all take note, we should have something should
be done about that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But maybe incentivized companies versus punishing punishing them.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, that's the incentive, right is to Well, it cost
you too much to send stuff over there. It costs
other companies to send stuff here. So just make your
goods here, put your plants here, put your people here.
It's already here, and you don't have.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
To give it to tax breaks. You could make it
more financially lucrative instead of saying if you do it
over there, you're going to be punished, versus hey, come
here and we'll give you an incentive you will forgive.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Robock and me this morning we got into a how
do we just get into a policy discussion? Let's move on,
all right, get to you all the run this morning,
and we are going to run in our neighborhood right now,
right here. Back in Manhattan, where jury selection has begun
in the Sean Diddy Coombs trial. The district judge overseeing
the trial question more than thirty New York is to
(10:51):
find out what they may already know about the sex
trafficking case against.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The music mobile, and potential jurors were also shown a
list of more than one hundred people and places that
could come up in the trial, trying to see if
they had some connection to any of them, including the
names of some of the women who have filed civil
lawsuits against Diddy. Yesterday, the judge named nineteen people of
the thirty two he questioned qualified to serve, and that
(11:15):
includes two who acknowledged they were fans of nineteen nineties
hip hop.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, weren't we all right?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I was like, just two, that's it, and the group, Well,
it was surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
More people are going to be questioned today. We'll see
if they're hip hop fans as well. Jury's selection is
expected to wrap up by the end of this week,
after twelve jurors and six alternates are pick Combs came
to the first day of his trial dressed in its
own clothes, sporting a goateee told the judge, I'm a
little nervous. Actually, he's facing five federal counts of sex
traffick and racketeering. That will make you nervous. It's related
(11:47):
to those you've heard so much about it and related
to those so called freakoffs in which he allegedly drugged, torused,
and abused the party goers.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Combs has pleaed not guilty to all charges and has
maintained his innocence throughout, in fact, even refusing a plea
deal that was apparently offered to him last week. Opening
statements in Diddy's trial are expected to begin next Monday,
May twelfth.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
All right, we'll stay with us here on this Tuesday
morning run. When we come back, Jennifer Aniston gets an
uninvited guest to her home who crashed through the front gate. Also,
the NFL is being sued for one hundred million dollars
because they stressed a fan out so much during the
NFL draft an Rihanna, can you please do a normal
(12:29):
birth announcement? All right, folks, let's continue on this Tuesday
morning ron and the next leg takes us to California,
where police have arrested a man who crashed into the
gate of Jennifer Aniston's bel Air home. The actress was
home at the time. It was her private security guard
(12:52):
who pulled the man out of his vehicle held him
until police arrived on the scene.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
LAPD arrested the man and charged him with felony vandalism,
and their career currently investigating right now his background, looking
into any possible motives. Right now, they do not believe
the incident was an accident, but they haven't said completely
whether or not they believe he was targeting Anniston. But
Lapd said, this is like a clear example of why
celebrities and certain types of people need to have private
(13:19):
security on their premises. They just can't be there, but
so many people know the addresses, They have tours showing
the public who lives where, and so yeah, these types
of things can happen, and it's certainly scary. Thank goodness
she had a private security guard there.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, no, we see all the time and they living
these wonderful lives. But that is a.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Tough way to let scary.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
They need a personal security staff at your home twenty
four to seven. But luckily she was okay, and everybody
seems to be okay. We will continue our run now
where one NFL fan does not seem to be okay.
So the NFL Draft, you know, it was tough for
Shador Sanders, he was the story of the draft. It
was tough for him. It was worse for this one
football fan because it was so distressing for this fan
(13:58):
to watch Sanders dramatics slide in the draft that this
fan is now suing the NFL for emotional distress that
it cost him.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I feel like you had emotional distress watching it.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I was upset.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You should join. Maybe it could be a class action lawsuit.
You should jump in on it. Anyway, he's suing the
NFL for one hundred million dollars. We are not joking
a football fan from Georgia who only identified himself as
John Doe. Really, Okay, if you're going to do that,
at least tell us who you are. This is his
(14:29):
new lawsuit where he says, yes, he suffered emotional distress
and trauma as a fan and a consumer.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
We kind of all did. My heart went out for
this kid. Always just said about things that were happening.
Did I suffer more than he did? No to the
tune of one hundred million Sanders of course, you know
the superstar quarterback in Colorado's son of Hall of Fame
with Dion Sanders. He was projected to be a top
pick in the draft, certainly a first rounder, but even
as high as number one at some point and maybe
(14:57):
even number three, but he ultimately didn't get drafted until
the fifth round. It was certainly considered perhaps the biggest
draft slide in NFL history. It was tough to watch.
But you think all that was tough for him, Oh No,
it was really tough for this fan who suffered what
he calls damage to his mental well being.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Mister Doe is accusing the League of collusion and of
violating antitrust and civil rights laws, as well as causing
an intentional infliction of emotional distress and trauma. He wrote this.
If it were April first, we would absolutely believe this
was an April Fool's Day joke.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I almost did not put this in the rundown because
I kept looking at several sources on that is this
for real? I thought it was just some obscure thing
that landed on some website and got picked. This is
for real, apparently. I read the lawsuits out there, but the.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Legal fees that will be absolutely incurred because of this. Honestly,
this is where I think, if you file a frivolous lawsuit,
and I think we can all agree this is a
frivolous lawsuit, you should be responsible for the legal fees
and guess what, you ain't going to get so many
frivolous losses.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Good call. You used frivolous three times in the last
ten seconds that I should have put that in the
beginning of the story. Sorry, well we continue you now
on the run. Let's talk Rihanna. Well, she just upped
her pregnancy reveal game once again. She showed off her
third baby bump at the Star Started met gala last night.
Rihanna and her partner Aesop Rocky were there. He told
reporters it's time that we show the people what we
(16:23):
was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us,
because we definitely happy.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I knew you could read that in a way I
could not. All Right, Rihanna is no stranger to turning
a baby bump into a headline. You may remember Rihanna
announced her last pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime show
in twenty twenty three. I remember thinking, wait, is she pregnant? Yeah,
she's pregnant. She showed off her first pregnancy back in
twenty twenty two by posing for a photographile out in
(16:49):
New York with yes ASoP Rocky. So she likes to
make a splash. Good for her.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's why this is adorable. It's your thing now it is.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I love it, And I was like, wow, she's had
three babies in how many years? Is it? Three years?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Four years? Missed her halftime show, which was one of
the best in memory because the whole time we're looking
is she pregnant? Like you're missing the song almost in
the performance.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
She released this amazing photo even before she walks the
blue carpet, she was walking in the streets in New
York with an umbrella like which is also not of
course to the amazing song, but she she was like
walking down the street with the rain coming and the
baby bump showing. It was It's a really cool picture.
If you haven't seen it, this is.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
She is incredible to me in a way that I
love her music obviously, but she has done something in
culture with her makeup and doing it work, but doing
it she made a point to do it for people
with darker small shades and what she's carved out billionaire
now right, Oh yeah, I love this woman, do that thing.
I can't wait next year anytime she stepped out in public,
(17:53):
I'm waiting. She's done. It's gonna be a baby. I
don't want to see her now unless she's pregnant. But
regrets to them, of course. And we'll continue on this
final leg and we'll stay with the Matt Gala. The
red carpet turned blue last night. Fashion's biggest night, of course,
lived up to the reputation last night. This year's theme
was super Fine Tailoring, Black Style Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
The annual event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
celebrated the style, politics, and history of the way black
men dress. This year's gala was hosted by singer, songwriter
and fashion designer for Well Pharrell Williams, Oscar nominated, actor
Coleman Domingo Grammy nominated, and new dad that we just
mentioned the aforementioned ASoP Rocky and British race car driver
(18:34):
Lewis Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Those are some well dressed.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
They all looked fabulous last night.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Never seen them step out anywhere and not look just pristine.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Lebron was supposed to be there and serve as honorary
co chair alongside Vogues and a win tour, but he
couldn't attend. If they lost Game five, they're out of
the playoffs. But in their final gaming, which they lost.
Turns out he got a pretty serious knee injury, so
he's trying to deal with that. In the downpour last
night didn't stop the celebrities who went with this dress code.
(19:04):
It was called tailored for You.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So most guests. I loved the look of last night.
The men and the women all turned out. I love
the women, especially in men's wear, men's suiting in these
tailored suits with dramatic twists. There were fabulous hats and
head pieces and of course a lot of bling TJ.
I saw this headline from the Hollywood Reporter, so I
just wanted to give them full credit because they wrote
this brooch, sales should skyrocket among anyone who paid attention
(19:29):
to Monday's met Gala. Without a doubt, it was the
night's key accessory. You know how you love a good
man brooch, Well, you would have just I mean, you
would have rocked it last night.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know you say this now, but folks need to
go find pictures of our most recent red carpets. And
it was a big deal. It was a broach. It
was a couple of years ago. We were running up
and now Hollywood Boulevard. Because I need to find.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
A man brooch, and as a lapel pen, you wanted
a bedazzled man broch, which you continued, you couldn't find
it anyway. So for one of this it was Christmas,
your birthday. I found a man brooch for you. So anyway,
it's a lapel pen. Some of my favorite looks. Everyone
can weigh on this, but god, Sabrina Carpenter, you know,
who styled her Pharrell amazing, but she had a espresso
(20:14):
pinstriped bodysuit and she said that when Farrell was looking
to decide what she should wear, she said, he told
her you're quite short, so no pants for you. And
she wore no pants and she rocked it. Then dea
this white pantsuit from Louis Vuitton and the hell, oh
my god, I saw that. She looked so fabulous. And
Diana Ross please she was back at the Mecala for
(20:36):
the first time in twenty years, and her white feather
dress took over the carpet like it was eighteen feet long,
and it was. It was quite it was gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You know, I'm sorry, how do they do this? I
know women often show up with these big what happens
to it? You can't go in and sit down and
to the gallon.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I don't know how they sit down. I just know
they have a team of people who are solely responsible
for making sure the train is okay. And maybe it's removable.
I don't know. I actually have no idea. I've never
even tried to pull something off like that. But yeah,
Forrell Williams, Lakeith Stanfield, is it Rejjeon Page I never
(21:14):
know how to say his name. I love him from
Reggaejeon I never they Oh, he was an all red,
looked so dapper. And then some people did what we
expect from the Met Gala, like Andre three thousand, who
had a piano strapped his back, walking the red carpet,
and all the usuals were there, the Kardashians all in
full fashion. But last night we saw a surprise Met
Gala debut. The former Vice president Kamala Harris and her
(21:38):
husband Doug were there. So that was a cool edition
that no one was necessarily expecting. But this was the
theme of last night was inspired from a booked are
you Are you familiar with this book? Monica L. Miller's
two thousand and nine book Slaves to Fashion Black dandyism
and the styling of black diasporic identity. But black dandy
(21:59):
is them pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
But it was a different time. It seemed like it
would be a challenging thing when I first heard it,
like what are the women going to do? And they
were very.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Oh good, Oh they look so good.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It has to be it. Look, this event gets criticized
every single year for the just over the top expressions
of grandeur and just it seems too much. It seems
gratuitous to some people. Obviously, when people are struggling in
the country, people will always be struggling. But how do
you find that balance? How do you do? I don't know,
But it's just it's always worth acknowledging that, yes, there
(22:33):
are other things going on in the world, but this
is a big Night's a fundraiser for the museum actually
for its fashion section.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Of seventy five thousand dollars a ticket. Most of these
stars don't pay it. You have big fashion houses and designers.
They usually buy tables three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for a table, I believe, and then they just decide
who they're going to invite. That's how it usually works.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Still waiting on mind bite the same. All I have
that I could wear is my man broke now otherwise
I got nothing. All right, folks, So do you go
about your Tuesday. Something we'd like to leave you with
as our quote of the day. So consider this as
you go about your Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Worry is a fear that hasn't grown up yet. It
is a misuse of our imagination.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
To stop and sit with that. I came from my pastor.
I just love that first line. Worry is a fear
that hasn't grown up yet. What do you worry? You're worrying? Like,
get there you need to get to fear. Worry is
a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It really is, because most of the time I think
we can all acknowledge what we worry about never actually
ends up happening, and whatever negative thing or whatever happens,
it's oftentimes something I even anticipated. So worrying is a
complete wasted emotion. I love the way your pastor put this.
Worry is a fear that hasn't grown up yet. It
is a misuse of our imagination.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I was worried this this morning run wasn't gonna go
well because I didn't get enough sleep. But you know
it didn't. It went okay.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I think it went actually smashingly well. I'm pretty impress.
I think your horr ring says you got seventeen minutes
of sleep.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, but worrying about how this was going to go
was a misuse of my imagination. So, folks who appreciate
you as always running with us.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'm Tjhil and I'm maybe Robot Cavin. Wonderful Tuesday, everyone,
We'll see you tomorrow.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Good
morning everyone, It's Tuesday, May sixth, Welcome to Morning Run.
I'm Amy Robots.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And I am TJ. Holmes, and we are the why
don't we? We are the son and daughter of educators.
And today is a big deal. It's teacher Appreciation Day,
so we should always stop me. We should give them
more love. I just on one day we designate, But
teachers have been a lot to us grown up.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh, without a doubt. My mom, several of my aunts
all educators, and uncles all educators, and proudly so it
was I had family members as teachers in my high school.
So it was always a big part of my life.
And yes, they do so much. They are creating the
future of this country, and we certainly should give them
appreciation this day and frankly on every day. And some money, yes,
(00:51):
exactly more than an apple.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Please let's get that in there. But yeah, sappy teacher
Appreciation Day to you all, and let's get going on
this Tuesday morning and on the run this morning. Here's
a plane ticket and one thousand dollars now leave the country.
That's Trump's new immigration plan. Pay people to self deport.
Also on other eyebrow raising Trump News, the President makes
(01:14):
a move to punish Harvard University some more, this time
to the tune of eight billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Let's stay on the Trump train, as Trump tells reporters
he had nothing to do with that photo of himself
as pope, even though it was posted on his personal
and White House social media accounts, And turns out it
will be more painful for Americans to buy those thirty
dollars Trump referred to last week as Mittel announces a
price hike because of Trump's tariffs.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Also on the run this morning, it is day two
of the Diddy trial. On day one, nearly three dozen
potential jurors were questioned about their prior knowledge of the case. Plus,
this morning, police arrest a man who crashed into the
gate of Jennifer Aniston's home while she was there, And
one of the more surreal lawsuit we have ever reported on.
(02:02):
You are never going to believe why a fan is
suing the NFL for a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I had to reread it. It was that shocking, and Rihanna,
speaking of shocking, still the show at last night's met
Gala not because of what she was wearing, but because
of what she is carrying.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And despite the downboar, last night, fashion as big as
night did not disappoint, showcasing black dandyism. Now, I haven't
seen robes a lot of the outfits just yet. I
know you saw more. We'll get into your favorites. But
as always, people made quite a scene.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
You were gonna love this one because I know you
always say a lot of times men when they come
up on the red carpet, it's fairly boring. They've got
the tuxedos. On last night, My goodness, fashion was fierce
and you're gonna want to check out some of these looks.
They were pretty incredible. But we're gonna begin our run
on this Tuesday morning in Washington, d C. The Trump
(02:55):
administration taking a new approach to deal with undocumented immigrants
in this country. The Department of Homeland Security now is
offering to pay people one thousand dollars and a plane
ticket home if they voluntarily leave the United States. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The Department of Whole Land Security said that people who
are interested in self deporting can use a government app
you might have heard about. It's called CBP home app.
The CBP stands for Customs and Border Protection. You can
download this thing and then once you get it, you
put in your biographical data, some documents, some facial images,
and your geolocation to prove that you've actually left the country.
(03:31):
The feature of the app can only be accessed after
someone is at least three miles outside of the US,
and once the identity and location is verified, the government
will pay up.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah. A Homeland Security spokesperson said immigrants without legal status
have already been using the app to book travel back
to their home countries. They actually pointed to a few
specific plane tickets that have already been purchased. DHS Secretary
Christinomes said, self deportations, and I'm going to quote here
or here are the best, safest and most cost effective
(04:01):
way to leave the US and avoid being arrested. According
to DHS, one deportation costs the US taxpayers more than
seventeen thousand dollars. So by that math, they say, hey,
the thousand dollars and some transportation costs just make economic sense.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well at a company that tracks app downloads said this app,
the CBP Home app, has been downloaded nearly three hundred
thousand times since the beginning of the year, and it's
currently being downloaded at a rate of fifteen hundred times
a day. DHS also said that self deportation through the
app may help preserve the option for people to re
enter the US legally in the future, may help get
(04:40):
you back into the.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Car that is the operative work future. No guarantees on
that one. Next up on our run, President Trump says
some people just can't take a joke. The joke. He's
referring to an AI generated image of him dressed as
the Pope that was posted to social media while the
world was still and is still mourning the death of
(05:01):
Pope Francis.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, that was freaking hilarious. Plenty of people obviously were
not laughing at this, including a whole bunch of prominent
Catholics who took issue with the image of President Trump.
You may have seen this by now. He's dressed as
the Pope in a white cassock with a cross around
his neck and in papal headdress. Again, to be clear,
here there's an AI generated image. He didn't actually dress
up this way, but sure looked like it in the picture.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Speaking in the Oval Office yesterday, the President revealed he
had nothing to do with the image, saying I had
nothing to do with it. He went on to say,
somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the
pope and they put it on the internet. That's not
me that did it. I have no idea where it
came from. Maybe it was Ai, but I know nothing
about it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Maybe it was Ai. How else was he in all
of that? Garb? All right? Even so, even though he
had nothing to do with it, the image was shared
by someone to his social media page and to the
official White House social media account. The President also mentioned
this is great that Malania thought it was nice. But
he added this, and I'm quoting him here, actually I
(06:03):
would not be able to be married, though, he said,
to the best of my knowledge, popes aren't big on
being married, are they not? That we know of? End quote.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's just a great quote. Well, he went on to
say that Catholics love the image. However, he didn't talk
to some Catholics, the New York State Catholic Conference in particular. Look,
we kind of smile through this story, and we get
some of this silliness and talking about the pope being
married and all this, but this quote from this group
kind of sums it up. And you have to listen
(06:33):
right when you hear this, We just buried our beloved
Pope Francis, and the cardinals are about to enter a
solemn conclave to elect a new successor of Saint Peter.
Do not mock us. You gotta that sums it.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Absolutely take that. And you know, the conclave begins tomorrow,
so we'll be talking a lot about a new pope
here coming up. Maybe not that's so funny. I was
going to say, maybe Trump learned a lesson, but I.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Think not that those words are going to come back
to bite you, probably tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right, probably this morning. Let's see what happens next. All right, well,
how about this for what's next? It just keeps escalating.
The back and forth between the Trump administration and Harvard
University has reached another level. The Department of Education has
announced it is pausing eight billion dollars in grant funding
for the Ivy League school and that includes and this
(07:23):
is really important funding for medical research. It's gone.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, Department of Education told reporters this. Harvard is not
eligible for any new grants from the federal government until
they demonstrate responsible management of the university. I mean that
seems like the goldpost could keep moving. What does that
even mean? The department said that Harvard has not been
able to combat anti semitism and discrimination on its campus
and has become quote a leftist institution that limits viewpoint diversity.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
The Trump administration stuation, as you may remember, already froze
two point two billion dollars in funding for Harvard last
month while it launched an anti semitism task force review
the school, and Trump has also threatened to take away
the university's tax exempt status. But no word on any
developments with that threat.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
All right, We're going to continue on the Trump train here.
Now next up on the run. You remember, it was
just last week President Trump predicted that American kids might
have to sacrifice during his trade war, saying that dolls
might cost a little more. Apparently that includes the most
famous doll in.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The world, Mattel. Of course, the maker of Barbie, said
yesterday it would increase prices as a direct result of
tariffs and the uncertainty in the economy they've caused. This
is how they put it. We are taking pricing actions
in our US business, which the translation is TJ.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Your shit's going to cause a little more. It's funny
how they put it. They find a delicate way to
give you bad news. And look, I'll give them credit
for that, but that's all they're saying.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Pricing actions means we're raising the price.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Pricing actions well, they didn't get into specifics. We don't
exactly know which toys are going to see price increases
and by how much. But this is not a good
sign of things to come, as tell so that they're
without taking some kind of action, the tariffs could cost
the company two hundred and seventy million dollars this year.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And get this, an estimated eighty percent of toys sold
here in the United States are made in China. Mattel
is asking for zero tariffs on toys because of that.
But yeah, this all American doll, Barbie, this has never
been produced in the United States. It's been made in
(09:34):
China and other parts of Asia since it was introduced
back in nineteen fifty nine. Again, look, the all American
doll never made in America.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
This makes sense. I guess so much stuff has made
overseas because of labor costs, But it just stopped me
in my tracks for a second. Barbie, this is our
this is it. This is Barbie, this is American doll.
Not a bit of it ever been made in the US.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
We should all take note, we should have something should
be done about that.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But maybe incentivized companies versus punishing punishing them.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well, that's the incentive, right is to Well, it cost
you too much to send stuff over there. It costs
other companies to send stuff here. So just make your
goods here, put your plants here, put your people here.
It's already here, and you don't have.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
To give it to tax breaks. You could make it
more financially lucrative instead of saying if you do it
over there, you're going to be punished, versus hey, come
here and we'll give you an incentive you will forgive.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Robock and me this morning we got into a how
do we just get into a policy discussion? Let's move on,
all right, get to you all the run this morning,
and we are going to run in our neighborhood right now,
right here. Back in Manhattan, where jury selection has begun
in the Sean Diddy Coombs trial. The district judge overseeing
the trial question more than thirty New York is to
(10:51):
find out what they may already know about the sex
trafficking case against.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
The music mobile, and potential jurors were also shown a
list of more than one hundred people and places that
could come up in the trial, trying to see if
they had some connection to any of them, including the
names of some of the women who have filed civil
lawsuits against Diddy. Yesterday, the judge named nineteen people of
the thirty two he questioned qualified to serve, and that
(11:15):
includes two who acknowledged they were fans of nineteen nineties
hip hop.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, weren't we all right?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I was like, just two, that's it, and the group, Well,
it was surprised by that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
More people are going to be questioned today. We'll see
if they're hip hop fans as well. Jury's selection is
expected to wrap up by the end of this week,
after twelve jurors and six alternates are pick Combs came
to the first day of his trial dressed in its
own clothes, sporting a goateee told the judge, I'm a
little nervous. Actually, he's facing five federal counts of sex
traffick and racketeering. That will make you nervous. It's related
(11:47):
to those you've heard so much about it and related
to those so called freakoffs in which he allegedly drugged, torused,
and abused the party goers.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Combs has pleaed not guilty to all charges and has
maintained his innocence throughout, in fact, even refusing a plea
deal that was apparently offered to him last week. Opening
statements in Diddy's trial are expected to begin next Monday,
May twelfth.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
All right, we'll stay with us here on this Tuesday
morning run. When we come back, Jennifer Aniston gets an
uninvited guest to her home who crashed through the front gate. Also,
the NFL is being sued for one hundred million dollars
because they stressed a fan out so much during the
NFL draft an Rihanna, can you please do a normal
(12:29):
birth announcement? All right, folks, let's continue on this Tuesday
morning ron and the next leg takes us to California,
where police have arrested a man who crashed into the
gate of Jennifer Aniston's bel Air home. The actress was
home at the time. It was her private security guard
(12:52):
who pulled the man out of his vehicle held him
until police arrived on the scene.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
LAPD arrested the man and charged him with felony vandalism,
and their career currently investigating right now his background, looking
into any possible motives. Right now, they do not believe
the incident was an accident, but they haven't said completely
whether or not they believe he was targeting Anniston. But
Lapd said, this is like a clear example of why
celebrities and certain types of people need to have private
(13:19):
security on their premises. They just can't be there, but
so many people know the addresses, They have tours showing
the public who lives where, and so yeah, these types
of things can happen, and it's certainly scary. Thank goodness
she had a private security guard there.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, no, we see all the time and they living
these wonderful lives. But that is a.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Tough way to let scary.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
They need a personal security staff at your home twenty
four to seven. But luckily she was okay, and everybody
seems to be okay. We will continue our run now
where one NFL fan does not seem to be okay.
So the NFL Draft, you know, it was tough for
Shador Sanders, he was the story of the draft. It
was tough for him. It was worse for this one
football fan because it was so distressing for this fan
(13:58):
to watch Sanders dramatics slide in the draft that this
fan is now suing the NFL for emotional distress that
it cost him.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I feel like you had emotional distress watching it.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I was upset.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You should join. Maybe it could be a class action lawsuit.
You should jump in on it. Anyway, he's suing the
NFL for one hundred million dollars. We are not joking
a football fan from Georgia who only identified himself as
John Doe. Really, Okay, if you're going to do that,
at least tell us who you are. This is his
(14:29):
new lawsuit where he says, yes, he suffered emotional distress
and trauma as a fan and a consumer.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
We kind of all did. My heart went out for
this kid. Always just said about things that were happening.
Did I suffer more than he did? No to the
tune of one hundred million Sanders of course, you know
the superstar quarterback in Colorado's son of Hall of Fame
with Dion Sanders. He was projected to be a top
pick in the draft, certainly a first rounder, but even
as high as number one at some point and maybe
(14:57):
even number three, but he ultimately didn't get drafted until
the fifth round. It was certainly considered perhaps the biggest
draft slide in NFL history. It was tough to watch.
But you think all that was tough for him, Oh No,
it was really tough for this fan who suffered what
he calls damage to his mental well being.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Mister Doe is accusing the League of collusion and of
violating antitrust and civil rights laws, as well as causing
an intentional infliction of emotional distress and trauma. He wrote this.
If it were April first, we would absolutely believe this
was an April Fool's Day joke.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
I almost did not put this in the rundown because
I kept looking at several sources on that is this
for real? I thought it was just some obscure thing
that landed on some website and got picked. This is
for real, apparently. I read the lawsuits out there, but the.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Legal fees that will be absolutely incurred because of this. Honestly,
this is where I think, if you file a frivolous lawsuit,
and I think we can all agree this is a
frivolous lawsuit, you should be responsible for the legal fees
and guess what, you ain't going to get so many
frivolous losses.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Good call. You used frivolous three times in the last
ten seconds that I should have put that in the
beginning of the story. Sorry, well we continue you now
on the run. Let's talk Rihanna. Well, she just upped
her pregnancy reveal game once again. She showed off her
third baby bump at the Star Started met gala last night.
Rihanna and her partner Aesop Rocky were there. He told
reporters it's time that we show the people what we
(16:23):
was cooking up. And I'm glad everybody's happy for us,
because we definitely happy.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I knew you could read that in a way I
could not. All Right, Rihanna is no stranger to turning
a baby bump into a headline. You may remember Rihanna
announced her last pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime show
in twenty twenty three. I remember thinking, wait, is she pregnant? Yeah,
she's pregnant. She showed off her first pregnancy back in
twenty twenty two by posing for a photographile out in
(16:49):
New York with yes ASoP Rocky. So she likes to
make a splash. Good for her.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's why this is adorable. It's your thing now it is.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I love it, And I was like, wow, she's had
three babies in how many years? Is it? Three years?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Four years? Missed her halftime show, which was one of
the best in memory because the whole time we're looking
is she pregnant? Like you're missing the song almost in
the performance.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
She released this amazing photo even before she walks the
blue carpet, she was walking in the streets in New
York with an umbrella like which is also not of
course to the amazing song, but she she was like
walking down the street with the rain coming and the
baby bump showing. It was It's a really cool picture.
If you haven't seen it, this is.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
She is incredible to me in a way that I
love her music obviously, but she has done something in
culture with her makeup and doing it work, but doing
it she made a point to do it for people
with darker small shades and what she's carved out billionaire
now right, Oh yeah, I love this woman, do that thing.
I can't wait next year anytime she stepped out in public,
(17:53):
I'm waiting. She's done. It's gonna be a baby. I
don't want to see her now unless she's pregnant. But
regrets to them, of course. And we'll continue on this
final leg and we'll stay with the Matt Gala. The
red carpet turned blue last night. Fashion's biggest night, of course,
lived up to the reputation last night. This year's theme
was super Fine Tailoring, Black Style Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
The annual event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
celebrated the style, politics, and history of the way black
men dress. This year's gala was hosted by singer, songwriter
and fashion designer for Well Pharrell Williams, Oscar nominated, actor
Coleman Domingo Grammy nominated, and new dad that we just
mentioned the aforementioned ASoP Rocky and British race car driver
(18:34):
Lewis Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Those are some well dressed.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
They all looked fabulous last night.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Never seen them step out anywhere and not look just pristine.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Lebron was supposed to be there and serve as honorary
co chair alongside Vogues and a win tour, but he
couldn't attend. If they lost Game five, they're out of
the playoffs. But in their final gaming, which they lost.
Turns out he got a pretty serious knee injury, so
he's trying to deal with that. In the downpour last
night didn't stop the celebrities who went with this dress code.
(19:04):
It was called tailored for You.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So most guests. I loved the look of last night.
The men and the women all turned out. I love
the women, especially in men's wear, men's suiting in these
tailored suits with dramatic twists. There were fabulous hats and
head pieces and of course a lot of bling TJ.
I saw this headline from the Hollywood Reporter, so I
just wanted to give them full credit because they wrote
this brooch, sales should skyrocket among anyone who paid attention
(19:29):
to Monday's met Gala. Without a doubt, it was the
night's key accessory. You know how you love a good
man brooch, Well, you would have just I mean, you
would have rocked it last night.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know you say this now, but folks need to
go find pictures of our most recent red carpets. And
it was a big deal. It was a broach. It
was a couple of years ago. We were running up
and now Hollywood Boulevard. Because I need to find.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
A man brooch, and as a lapel pen, you wanted
a bedazzled man broch, which you continued, you couldn't find
it anyway. So for one of this it was Christmas,
your birthday. I found a man brooch for you. So anyway,
it's a lapel pen. Some of my favorite looks. Everyone
can weigh on this, but god, Sabrina Carpenter, you know,
who styled her Pharrell amazing, but she had a espresso
(20:14):
pinstriped bodysuit and she said that when Farrell was looking
to decide what she should wear, she said, he told
her you're quite short, so no pants for you. And
she wore no pants and she rocked it. Then dea
this white pantsuit from Louis Vuitton and the hell, oh
my god, I saw that. She looked so fabulous. And
Diana Ross please she was back at the Mecala for
(20:36):
the first time in twenty years, and her white feather
dress took over the carpet like it was eighteen feet long,
and it was. It was quite it was gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You know, I'm sorry, how do they do this? I
know women often show up with these big what happens
to it? You can't go in and sit down and
to the gallon.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I don't know how they sit down. I just know
they have a team of people who are solely responsible
for making sure the train is okay. And maybe it's removable.
I don't know. I actually have no idea. I've never
even tried to pull something off like that. But yeah,
Forrell Williams, Lakeith Stanfield, is it Rejjeon Page I never
(21:14):
know how to say his name. I love him from
Reggaejeon I never they Oh, he was an all red,
looked so dapper. And then some people did what we
expect from the Met Gala, like Andre three thousand, who
had a piano strapped his back, walking the red carpet,
and all the usuals were there, the Kardashians all in
full fashion. But last night we saw a surprise Met
Gala debut. The former Vice president Kamala Harris and her
(21:38):
husband Doug were there. So that was a cool edition
that no one was necessarily expecting. But this was the
theme of last night was inspired from a booked are
you Are you familiar with this book? Monica L. Miller's
two thousand and nine book Slaves to Fashion Black dandyism
and the styling of black diasporic identity. But black dandy
(21:59):
is them pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
But it was a different time. It seemed like it
would be a challenging thing when I first heard it,
like what are the women going to do? And they
were very.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Oh good, Oh they look so good.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It has to be it. Look, this event gets criticized
every single year for the just over the top expressions
of grandeur and just it seems too much. It seems
gratuitous to some people. Obviously, when people are struggling in
the country, people will always be struggling. But how do
you find that balance? How do you do? I don't know,
But it's just it's always worth acknowledging that, yes, there
(22:33):
are other things going on in the world, but this
is a big Night's a fundraiser for the museum actually
for its fashion section.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Of seventy five thousand dollars a ticket. Most of these
stars don't pay it. You have big fashion houses and designers.
They usually buy tables three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for a table, I believe, and then they just decide
who they're going to invite. That's how it usually works.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Still waiting on mind bite the same. All I have
that I could wear is my man broke now otherwise
I got nothing. All right, folks, So do you go
about your Tuesday. Something we'd like to leave you with
as our quote of the day. So consider this as
you go about your Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Worry is a fear that hasn't grown up yet. It
is a misuse of our imagination.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
To stop and sit with that. I came from my pastor.
I just love that first line. Worry is a fear
that hasn't grown up yet. What do you worry? You're worrying? Like,
get there you need to get to fear. Worry is
a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
It really is, because most of the time I think
we can all acknowledge what we worry about never actually
ends up happening, and whatever negative thing or whatever happens,
it's oftentimes something I even anticipated. So worrying is a
complete wasted emotion. I love the way your pastor put this.
Worry is a fear that hasn't grown up yet. It
is a misuse of our imagination.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I was worried this this morning run wasn't gonna go
well because I didn't get enough sleep. But you know
it didn't. It went okay.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I think it went actually smashingly well. I'm pretty impress.
I think your horr ring says you got seventeen minutes
of sleep.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, but worrying about how this was going to go
was a misuse of my imagination. So, folks who appreciate
you as always running with us.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'm Tjhil and I'm maybe Robot Cavin. Wonderful Tuesday, everyone,
We'll see you tomorrow.
