Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hello everyone,
this is your morning Run for Thursday, June nineteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Amy Roboch And did.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
You all hear her pause? She wasn't sure about the date. Yeah,
it's June nineteenth. Rundown still says it's the twelfth. But yes,
we're updating now. It is June nineteenth on dj owlms
and June nineteenth. It's a very important day. It is
Independence Day. Happy Independence Day everybody. It is juneteenth or
America's second Independence Day. It is our newest federal holiday.
(00:36):
So what's open, what's closed? And what's this holiday all about? Anyway,
we'll get into it all right.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Plus millions of us are about to be smothered by
a record temperature breaking heat dome that's going to last
until mid next week. And how much alcohol should we
all be drinking? Well for the first time in more
than three decades. Stand by for new guidelines that may
surprise you.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Also on the run this morning, the end of the
HIV epidemic. Scientists say it's possible with a new drug
just approved by the FDA. Also a category for hurricane
you can call him Eric is turning towards the Pacific
coast of Mexico and.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
A massive fireball in the Texas sky. Late last night
showcased the latest setback for Elon Musk and will we
or won't we? I was gonna say he, And maybe
that's more appropriate because President Trump keeps the world guessing
whether the US will get involved in the escalating conflict
between Israel and Iran.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Also this morning, more jury drama and delays and the
Diddy trial. This time it's a sick juror, and now
the prosecution's timeline for wrapping its case is all messed up.
Also in sadness, I dissent those words from Justice Sonya
Sotomayora after a major and emotional ruling from the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Plus, switch those accounts to public and watch what you
post online if you want to study in the United States.
New rules for student visa applicants.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And the Los Angeles Lakers just became the most expensive
team in American sports history. But there's also another new
headline to go with that that is going to be
the end of an era in sports. We'll get into that.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
As well, all right, But we begin our run today
with today. Today is a federal holiday, and it's only
been a federal holiday since twenty twenty one, so this
is the fifth official June teenth.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yes, it's our newest federal holiday. It's still the holiday
that people look up. Wait, we're off tomorrow for what.
That's still what a lot of people are saying. But yes, Juneteenth,
it is officially a federal holiday. That means all federal offices,
all federal agencies are going to be closed today. Post
offices are closed today. However, UPS fed X are still open.
They'll take that business right now. We are not endorsed
(02:50):
by UPS or FedEx, so we're just trying to help
you out. But you do have options to mail today
if you want to. Stock Exchange is closed, most banks
will be closed. Schools are closed here in New York
and most play around the country. A lot of kids
are out already, so they don't have to make the decision.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Who was still in school at June nineteenth New York
City kids unfortunately. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, but most retail shops even take advantage of the day,
so a lot of them will be open today.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And yes, the history behind this date, it was June nineteenth,
eighteen sixty five, when Union troops led by Major General
Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas and officially declared
that the states who were the states people who were
enslaved were now free.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yes, so this was two and a half years though
after the Emancipatient Proclamation, so word didn't get to all
the folks in Texas. The news had to kind of
make its way west in a lot of ways. So
it is our second independence day. So these folks who
had been freed, if you will, two and a half
years didn't even know it. It just took a little time.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And is it fair to say many Black Americans have
been celebrating June nineteenth for a very long time, and
I can say that most white Americans didn't even know
this day existed.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Been Hooton and holland By for years and years and years.
Biden finally made it a federal holiday. But yes, celebrations
broke out in Texas after Juneteenth, and they got word
about the enslaved being freed. So those celebrations just continued
year after year after year after year and continue to
this day. But thank you for being on board now.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yes, we're all celebrating now as we should have been
for the past one hundred and fifty years. All right,
Next up on the run, the National Weather Service has
fifteen million people plus are about to experience the first
of two rounds of an extreme heat wave that will
blanket the eastern half of the US all the way
through mid next week.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
So all we got today is folks from DC to Florida.
They are under a level three of a level four
heat risk. Level four is the highest. I won't get
into all the technical details, but you get the point.
Four is as bad as it can get. We're at three.
No good. Most places we'll see highs in the low
to mid nineties, but it's the humidity that's going to
bring the heattdecks in those places to triple digit temperatures
(04:59):
are going to climb. I'm in the northeast and central
US as well. Now, if you think all that sounds hot, dude,
wait and do what we got coming next week. We
talking about triple digits this week, roads, but we got
the heat Dome coming. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
The heat Dome is expected to send temperatures across the
eastern half of the US at least fifteen degrees above normal.
But that's before the humidity takes effect. And they say
there is a ton of humidity. That's what's creating this dome.
It's making temperatures feel as hot as one hundred and
ten degrees in many parts that are not used to
that kind of weather. So next week's heat Dome will
(05:31):
be a level four out of four extreme heat risk
with little to no relief overnight. They say that's a
big distinction, that even when the sun goes down.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The heat is going to be trapped and stay.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Okay, So cities expected to be hard as hit Saint Louis, Chicago, Washington, DC,
and where we sit right down, New York. Weather experts
believe hundreds of daily temperature records could be broken next
Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And I have a note in here because we were
laughing at your daughter and my daughter both rushing to
us saying on TikTok people were saying it was going
to be one hundred and two degrees at midnight in
New York City and we laughed them off.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And now it kind of looks like that's possible.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, it's glad that why, that's how they get their news.
It's remarkable to me that two kids who didn't interact
all day ones in college and ones in middle school.
Both came with the same information. That's the power of TikTok.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yes, well, and it will continue unfortunately, whether we parents
like it or not.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Next up on the run, the rules for drinking could
be changing. And they're not so much rules as they
are official recommendations from the US government, but that certainly
trickles down to your doctor's office and trickles down to
you about how much alcohol adults should be consuming.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
A lot of you familiar with these rules already. The
suggestion is that women should have one drink or less
per day, and men should have two drinks or less
per day of alcohol. Those have been the recommendations from
the HHS since nineteen ninety but Reuters now reporting the
US is set to drop that long standing recommendation and
(07:03):
will no longer recommend adults stick to those limits.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That is surprising to me because I have heard in
recent years that no amount of alcohol is a safe amount.
But apparently let's get into what they're saying we can
drink now or how much we can drink now. They're
not going to put a number on it anymore, so
there isn't going to be you can have this many
drinks per week even Rather, the plan is to simply
encourage Americans to drink in moderation or limit your intake
(07:29):
based on your own personal health. And the thought is
that designating a specific number of drinks isn't actually based
in science, so it's not really fair to put a
specific number on it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That makes sense, That kind of makes sense, but it
seems like there should be a stronger warning about alcohol.
Of course, the alcohol industry loves that they would drop
the limits because.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It looks like that's what they're going to do.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So I can already hear the entire alcohol industry popping
a bottle of champagne and going Whooo, cheers everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right, We're going to continue on the run now
with the I'm a different type of health news here.
This from the FDA. It has approved a new drug
that scientists hope could end the HIV epidemic once and
for all. That is what they're saying. It's a bold statement, sure,
but official say in clinical trials. This new drug is
called yes to go am. I saying that right now,
I think spelled yez tugo is how it's spelled. New drug.
(08:21):
But it said It nearly eliminated the spread of HIV
among people who got an injection every six months.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And one of the reasons why it's so effective it
doesn't require people who are at high risk of HIV
to take that pill every single day, which can be challenging.
Folks forget it. They leave their pills behind, and that
disrupts the effectiveness. The injection blocks HIV from infecting and
making new copies of itself inside immune cells. The executive
director for an HIV advocacy nonprofit said this about the
(08:51):
new drug, Yes to Go. This is the single best
opportunity in forty four years of HIV prevention and everywhere.
Look about if you google this drug, people are literally
saying it's a miracle.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Wow, that is wonderful news to report this morning. Yes,
we'll contell you on this Thursday morning. Run extremely dangerous
category for hurricane is heading towards the Mexican Pacific Coast,
expected to make landfall this morning near the town of
Puerto Escondido. Hurricane warnings stretch up north to the resort
time of resort town, I should say, of Acapulco.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The National Hurricane Center said Eric has winds up to
one hundred and forty five miles per hour with heavy rain,
dangerous storm surge. More than two thousand shelters have been
set up for evacuated residents who live in those low
lying areas. But this, unfortunately, is the same relative area
that was hit by Hurricane Otis two years ago. That
was a Category five storm that killed more than fifty people.
(09:46):
So a lot of folks bracing for the worst in
an area that does not need this kind of weather.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
These hurricane names we were talking about, how destructive and
all this thing, and say, hey, yeah, Eric's here. The
name sounds so innocent.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't know what we're that's my brother's name, Eric.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes, Hurricane Eric. Like it's Damien. Like, give a name
that scares Lucifer. Yeah, Hurricane Lucifer is on the way.
I bet people would get out of there in all right,
continuing on the run here with a Texas Star based Texas.
You've been down there, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I have been to starbased texts?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
All right? Yes, Well, they had a quite the light
show last night and it was not supposed to happen.
It was a massive fireball there because a SpaceX rocket
exploded as it was about to launch on its tenth
test flight.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yes the SpaceX account tweeted this the flight tests yesterday
experienced a major anomaly, but they did say all personnel
were safe and accounted for. SpaceX added there were no
threats or hazard to nearby communities, but they asked that
no one tried to approach the launch site. While the company,
along with local officials, are responding now to the aftermath
of that explosion.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And despite this explosion, along with two other mid air
explosions earlier this year, Elon Musk remains committed to sending
an uncrewed starship mission to Mars in late twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
All right, Next up, on Iran, the world waits on
President Trump's decision. Will he or won't he get the
US military involved in the Iran Israel conflict. His response
to that question is puzzling. I may do it, I
may not do it, and that was followed by him saying,
I mean nobody knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Truer words have never been spoken by President Trump. Nobody
knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Though.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
The President met with his national security team and has
reportedly been given military option options, but has yet to
make a final decision on the US joining in on
the air strikes. Those air strikes have been going back
and forth between Iran and Israel, and they did continue
today for a seventh straight date.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yes, and significant damage was reported in southern Israel where
a major hospital was hit by Iranian missiles. And meantime,
Israel said it has hit twenty targets in Iran and
will be increasing the intensity.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Of its attack.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So this is escalating and unfortunately going in the wrong
direction with us.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Here on this Friday Eve run. When we come back
back to back days of no court in the Ditty trial,
but only one of those days was planned, we'll explain
the new setbacks. Also, the Supreme Court makes a major
and emotional decision. Foreign students can now start applying again,
but you better open up your Instagram page first. And
the Los Angeles Lakers the end of an era and
(12:23):
a ten billion dollar valuation. All right, folks, let's continue
on this Juneteenth morning run now, and court is not
in session in the Ditty Trial today because of the
Juneteenth holiday. Court was also not in session yesterday unexpectedly,
(12:47):
so everybody was there suited and booted. They were ready
to go yesterday morning, ready for testimony, but the judge
came in told everybody that adjuror was sick and that
the court could not go on for the day.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Testimony is expected to resume tomorrow, but that sick juror
has now thrown off the timing of the trial. The
prosecution was sure it was going to be able to
rest its case this week, but now that seems highly unlikely.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
All right, so let's put the numbers together in the
calendar together. The defense says they need two to five
days to put on their case once they finally start,
so they could be going robes all next week with
testimony putting on their case, and then maybe the week
after that the jury will finally get it. But you
remember they wanted to have this wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
By the fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, and that is really pushing everything up against that
date now. So testimony will resume tomorrow. The prosecution is
expected to call I guess at this point he seems
to be a star witness. Been talking about him a lot,
Brendan Paul. He's a former Diddy assistant. He's going to
be testifying under.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Immunity, all right, Next up on a run the Supreme
Court has given states the okay to ban gender affirming
medical care for transgender kids. In a major ruling with
nationwide implications, The Court yesterday upheld that Tennessee law that
bans hormone treatments and puberty blockers for trans kids. The
vote was six to three, by the way, and that
vote was along ideological lines.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The law were talking about here was challenged by kids
and parents in Tennessee who argued that it discriminated on
the basis of sex, therefore it's a violation of their
equal protection rights. The Court disagreed, and Justice Chief Justice
John Roberts said it's not the Court's job to judge
the wisdom, fairness, or logic of the law.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But in her descent, Justice Sotomayor expressed her sadness at
the Court's decision and said the Court has now has
now state legislatures, has given the state legislators the go
ahead to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications
in plain sight. And she goes on to say it
also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children
(14:51):
and the parents and families who love them.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, a lot of states, I mean, is it twenty.
We might be up to that do have something like
this on the books or are looking at it, but
it seems like those could all go forward now. So
this has much wider reaching implications for kids and families
all over the country. We'll continue here on our run.
Now State Department once again accepting student visa applications with
the twist, they're going to now start looking at an
(15:16):
applicant's entire online presence, including and in particular, their social
media accounts.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You may remember back in May last month, the administration
suspended the student visa program, but they're bringing it back,
but instructed embassies to vet foreign students for hostile attitudes
towards our citizens, culture, government institutions, or founding principles.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And further, the State Department.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Says it will be specifically checking to see if the
student advocate advocates for any terrorist group or perpetuates anti
Semitic harassment or violence.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
So yeah, they're going to check you out on social media,
and applicants need to set their social media profiles to public,
is what they're saying, because if you're have it private,
might seem like you're trying to hide something. And the
State Department is going to assume you're trying to hide
certain activity.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, I wonder if you even have a tweet out
there that says something like free Palestine. If that is,
if you're done, I mean, I wonder how far they'll take.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It look ed. Yes, you have freedom of speech, knock
yourself out. But if you want to come study here,
delete all of your social media accounts.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Probably would be small. Your best chance is getting it
all right.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Final leg of the run here in an end of
an era for the Los Angeles Lakers, the Bus family
has agreed to sell the Lakers. The Bus family has
been at the helm for nearly fifty years, with the
story the legendary Jerry Buss. He bought the team in
nineteen seventy nine, drafted a kid named Magic Johnson that
(16:45):
same year. The rest is history. They went on to
win eleven championships after that. So who bought the team
and for how much? Ropes Well.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
The new owner will be businessman Mark Walter, who was
already a stakeholder with the team.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He also owns the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
He's buying the team at a valuation price of ten
billion dollars, and that now makes the Lakers the most
valuable sports franchise in American history.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
We talk about return on investment. So Jerry Buss bought
the Lakers for sixty seven point five million dollars in
nineteen seventy nine, and it just sold for ten billion dollars. Well,
this blows out the previous record that was set in March,
because the Celtics were just sold for six point one billion.
That was in March, and that was a record. So
(17:32):
once again, the Lakers are beating the Celtics. Now. Bus
died in twenty thirteen, and his daughter, Jeanie has been
running the show ever since. She's going to remain as
a minority stakeholder and it's going to continue to run
the daily operations for the next few years. But that
is the Bus family. They're just legendary for what they
did to basketball for the NBA.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Really, I'm still trying to get my head around the
numbers imagining what the actual profit is. I can't even
figure it out. Those numbers are so far above anything
I could even imagine that. My little small brain can't
even compute what that what that profit is, and what
the taxes would be on it.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
All right there, it is all right, you can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I was already trying to think, what are the taxes
on that in and of itself. All right, we are
going to leave you on this June teenth, on this
Friday eve, with something to consider as you go about
your day. Here is your quote of the day. An
entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it
gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world
(18:30):
cannot put you down unless you allow it to get
inside you.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's awesome. That is a really good analogy and very
simple one to understand. Yeah, you could be surrounded by
the worst of anything. Don't let it get in there.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, it's funny. You get a visual and the idea.
You were even saying this yesterday. We were walking through
the seaport and you see these huge, huge ships coming
in and you look at it and you think, how
is that floating?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
How is that floating?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And I actually when I saw this quote, it reminded
me of that and to imagine, Yes, an entire sea
of water cannot sink a ship unless it gets inside
the ship.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's such a good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down
unless you allow it to get inside you. That is
from a Japanese author named goy Nasu And yeah I
did too with that. Everyone, Thank you for running with
us on this Thursday, I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And I'm TJ. Holmes. Enjoy your Juneteenth. We'll see soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hello everyone,

be a level four out of four extreme heat risk
with little to no relief overnight. They say that's a
big distinction, that even when the sun goes down.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The heat is going to be trapped and stay.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Okay, So cities expected to be hard as hit Saint Louis, Chicago, Washington, DC,
and where we sit right down, New York. Weather experts
believe hundreds of daily temperature records could be broken next
Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And I have a note in here because we were
laughing at your daughter and my daughter both rushing to
us saying on TikTok people were saying it was going
to be one hundred and two degrees at midnight in
New York City and we laughed them off.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And now it kind of looks like that's possible.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well, it's glad that why, that's how they get their news.
It's remarkable to me that two kids who didn't interact
all day ones in college and ones in middle school.
Both came with the same information. That's the power of TikTok.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yes, well, and it will continue unfortunately, whether we parents
like it or not.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Next up on the run, the rules for drinking could
be changing. And they're not so much rules as they
are official recommendations from the US government, but that certainly
trickles down to your doctor's office and trickles down to
you about how much alcohol adults should be consuming.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
A lot of you familiar with these rules already. The
suggestion is that women should have one drink or less
per day, and men should have two drinks or less
per day of alcohol. Those have been the recommendations from
the HHS since nineteen ninety but Reuters now reporting the
US is set to drop that long standing recommendation and
(07:03):
will no longer recommend adults stick to those limits.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That is surprising to me because I have heard in
recent years that no amount of alcohol is a safe amount.
But apparently let's get into what they're saying we can
drink now or how much we can drink now. They're
not going to put a number on it anymore, so
there isn't going to be you can have this many
drinks per week even Rather, the plan is to simply
encourage Americans to drink in moderation or limit your intake
(07:29):
based on your own personal health. And the thought is
that designating a specific number of drinks isn't actually based
in science, so it's not really fair to put a
specific number on it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That makes sense, That kind of makes sense, but it
seems like there should be a stronger warning about alcohol.
Of course, the alcohol industry loves that they would drop
the limits because.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It looks like that's what they're going to do.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
So I can already hear the entire alcohol industry popping
a bottle of champagne and going Whooo, cheers everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right, We're going to continue on the run now
with the I'm a different type of health news here.
This from the FDA. It has approved a new drug
that scientists hope could end the HIV epidemic once and
for all. That is what they're saying. It's a bold statement, sure,
but official say in clinical trials. This new drug is
called yes to go am. I saying that right now,
I think spelled yez tugo is how it's spelled. New drug.
(08:21):
But it said It nearly eliminated the spread of HIV
among people who got an injection every six months.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And one of the reasons why it's so effective it
doesn't require people who are at high risk of HIV
to take that pill every single day, which can be challenging.
Folks forget it. They leave their pills behind, and that
disrupts the effectiveness. The injection blocks HIV from infecting and
making new copies of itself inside immune cells. The executive
director for an HIV advocacy nonprofit said this about the
(08:51):
new drug, Yes to Go. This is the single best
opportunity in forty four years of HIV prevention and everywhere.
Look about if you google this drug, people are literally
saying it's a miracle.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Wow, that is wonderful news to report this morning. Yes,
we'll contell you on this Thursday morning. Run extremely dangerous
category for hurricane is heading towards the Mexican Pacific Coast,
expected to make landfall this morning near the town of
Puerto Escondido. Hurricane warnings stretch up north to the resort
time of resort town, I should say, of Acapulco.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The National Hurricane Center said Eric has winds up to
one hundred and forty five miles per hour with heavy rain,
dangerous storm surge. More than two thousand shelters have been
set up for evacuated residents who live in those low
lying areas. But this, unfortunately, is the same relative area
that was hit by Hurricane Otis two years ago. That
was a Category five storm that killed more than fifty people.
(09:46):
So a lot of folks bracing for the worst in
an area that does not need this kind of weather.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
These hurricane names we were talking about, how destructive and
all this thing, and say, hey, yeah, Eric's here. The
name sounds so innocent.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't know what we're that's my brother's name, Eric.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes, Hurricane Eric. Like it's Damien. Like, give a name
that scares Lucifer. Yeah, Hurricane Lucifer is on the way.
I bet people would get out of there in all right,
continuing on the run here with a Texas Star based Texas.
You've been down there, haven't you?
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I have been to starbased texts?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
All right? Yes, Well, they had a quite the light
show last night and it was not supposed to happen.
It was a massive fireball there because a SpaceX rocket
exploded as it was about to launch on its tenth
test flight.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yes the SpaceX account tweeted this the flight tests yesterday
experienced a major anomaly, but they did say all personnel
were safe and accounted for. SpaceX added there were no
threats or hazard to nearby communities, but they asked that
no one tried to approach the launch site. While the company,
along with local officials, are responding now to the aftermath
of that explosion.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
And despite this explosion, along with two other mid air
explosions earlier this year, Elon Musk remains committed to sending
an uncrewed starship mission to Mars in late twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
All right, Next up, on Iran, the world waits on
President Trump's decision. Will he or won't he get the
US military involved in the Iran Israel conflict. His response
to that question is puzzling. I may do it, I
may not do it, and that was followed by him saying,
I mean nobody knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Truer words have never been spoken by President Trump. Nobody
knows what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Though.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
The President met with his national security team and has
reportedly been given military option options, but has yet to
make a final decision on the US joining in on
the air strikes. Those air strikes have been going back
and forth between Iran and Israel, and they did continue
today for a seventh straight date.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yes, and significant damage was reported in southern Israel where
a major hospital was hit by Iranian missiles. And meantime,
Israel said it has hit twenty targets in Iran and
will be increasing the intensity.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Of its attack.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So this is escalating and unfortunately going in the wrong
direction with us.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Here on this Friday Eve run. When we come back
back to back days of no court in the Ditty trial,
but only one of those days was planned, we'll explain
the new setbacks. Also, the Supreme Court makes a major
and emotional decision. Foreign students can now start applying again,
but you better open up your Instagram page first. And
the Los Angeles Lakers the end of an era and
(12:23):
a ten billion dollar valuation. All right, folks, let's continue
on this Juneteenth morning run now, and court is not
in session in the Ditty Trial today because of the
Juneteenth holiday. Court was also not in session yesterday unexpectedly,
(12:47):
so everybody was there suited and booted. They were ready
to go yesterday morning, ready for testimony, but the judge
came in told everybody that adjuror was sick and that
the court could not go on for the day.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Testimony is expected to resume tomorrow, but that sick juror
has now thrown off the timing of the trial. The
prosecution was sure it was going to be able to
rest its case this week, but now that seems highly unlikely.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
All right, so let's put the numbers together in the
calendar together. The defense says they need two to five
days to put on their case once they finally start,
so they could be going robes all next week with
testimony putting on their case, and then maybe the week
after that the jury will finally get it. But you
remember they wanted to have this wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
By the fourth of July.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, and that is really pushing everything up against that
date now. So testimony will resume tomorrow. The prosecution is
expected to call I guess at this point he seems
to be a star witness. Been talking about him a lot,
Brendan Paul. He's a former Diddy assistant. He's going to
be testifying under.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Immunity, all right, Next up on a run the Supreme
Court has given states the okay to ban gender affirming
medical care for transgender kids. In a major ruling with
nationwide implications, The Court yesterday upheld that Tennessee law that
bans hormone treatments and puberty blockers for trans kids. The
vote was six to three, by the way, and that
vote was along ideological lines.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The law were talking about here was challenged by kids
and parents in Tennessee who argued that it discriminated on
the basis of sex, therefore it's a violation of their
equal protection rights. The Court disagreed, and Justice Chief Justice
John Roberts said it's not the Court's job to judge
the wisdom, fairness, or logic of the law.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But in her descent, Justice Sotomayor expressed her sadness at
the Court's decision and said the Court has now has
now state legislatures, has given the state legislators the go
ahead to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications
in plain sight. And she goes on to say it
also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children
(14:51):
and the parents and families who love them.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah, a lot of states, I mean, is it twenty.
We might be up to that do have something like
this on the books or are looking at it, but
it seems like those could all go forward now. So
this has much wider reaching implications for kids and families
all over the country. We'll continue here on our run.
Now State Department once again accepting student visa applications with
the twist, they're going to now start looking at an
(15:16):
applicant's entire online presence, including and in particular, their social
media accounts.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
You may remember back in May last month, the administration
suspended the student visa program, but they're bringing it back,
but instructed embassies to vet foreign students for hostile attitudes
towards our citizens, culture, government institutions, or founding principles.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
And further, the State Department.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Says it will be specifically checking to see if the
student advocate advocates for any terrorist group or perpetuates anti
Semitic harassment or violence.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
So yeah, they're going to check you out on social media,
and applicants need to set their social media profiles to public,
is what they're saying, because if you're have it private,
might seem like you're trying to hide something. And the
State Department is going to assume you're trying to hide
certain activity.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, I wonder if you even have a tweet out
there that says something like free Palestine. If that is,
if you're done, I mean, I wonder how far they'll take.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It look ed. Yes, you have freedom of speech, knock
yourself out. But if you want to come study here,
delete all of your social media accounts.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Probably would be small. Your best chance is getting it
all right.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Final leg of the run here in an end of
an era for the Los Angeles Lakers, the Bus family
has agreed to sell the Lakers. The Bus family has
been at the helm for nearly fifty years, with the
story the legendary Jerry Buss. He bought the team in
nineteen seventy nine, drafted a kid named Magic Johnson that
(16:45):
same year. The rest is history. They went on to
win eleven championships after that. So who bought the team
and for how much? Ropes Well.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
The new owner will be businessman Mark Walter, who was
already a stakeholder with the team.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
He also owns the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
He's buying the team at a valuation price of ten
billion dollars, and that now makes the Lakers the most
valuable sports franchise in American history.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
We talk about return on investment. So Jerry Buss bought
the Lakers for sixty seven point five million dollars in
nineteen seventy nine, and it just sold for ten billion dollars. Well,
this blows out the previous record that was set in March,
because the Celtics were just sold for six point one billion.
That was in March, and that was a record. So
(17:32):
once again, the Lakers are beating the Celtics. Now. Bus
died in twenty thirteen, and his daughter, Jeanie has been
running the show ever since. She's going to remain as
a minority stakeholder and it's going to continue to run
the daily operations for the next few years. But that
is the Bus family. They're just legendary for what they
did to basketball for the NBA.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Really, I'm still trying to get my head around the
numbers imagining what the actual profit is. I can't even
figure it out. Those numbers are so far above anything
I could even imagine that. My little small brain can't
even compute what that what that profit is, and what
the taxes would be on it.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
All right there, it is all right, you can't imagine.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I was already trying to think, what are the taxes
on that in and of itself. All right, we are
going to leave you on this June teenth, on this
Friday eve, with something to consider as you go about
your day. Here is your quote of the day. An
entire sea of water can't sink a ship unless it
gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world
(18:30):
cannot put you down unless you allow it to get
inside you.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's awesome. That is a really good analogy and very
simple one to understand. Yeah, you could be surrounded by
the worst of anything. Don't let it get in there.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, it's funny. You get a visual and the idea.
You were even saying this yesterday. We were walking through
the seaport and you see these huge, huge ships coming
in and you look at it and you think, how
is that floating?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
How is that floating?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And I actually when I saw this quote, it reminded
me of that and to imagine, Yes, an entire sea
of water cannot sink a ship unless it gets inside
the ship.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
That's such a good way to put it.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down
unless you allow it to get inside you. That is
from a Japanese author named goy Nasu And yeah I
did too with that. Everyone, Thank you for running with
us on this Thursday, I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
And I'm TJ. Holmes. Enjoy your Juneteenth. We'll see soon.
