Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's morning run.
It's Wednesday, July second.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Amy Roboch and I'm TJ Holmes on the Run
this morning. As if it didn't have enough challenges, Trump's
Big Beautiful Bill now has a new problem weather.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Plus the University of Pennsylvania agrees to wipe out records
of a transgender athlete and apologize to female swimmers. Plus
Trump and CBS reach a settlement. The settlement details will
sound awfully familiar to you.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Also this morning, there are verdicts in the Diddy trial,
but will we get to hear them today as the
jury continues deliberations even though they told the judge some
members are unpersuadable on the racketeering charge. Meanwhile, Diddy is
still getting sued in civil court. Another ten million dollar
lawsuit dropped yesterday.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Also on the Run.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
A fixture on television in the eighties and remembered for
that infamous Tier four apology, televangelist Jimmy Swaggert has passed
at the age of ninety. Plus, Lululemon says Costco is
duping you into thinking you're buying their clothing at a
fraction of the price.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
This according to a new lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Also this morning, the biggest K pop group ever is
officially back after a forced hiatus and a stunning first
round upset for Coco Golf losing to an unseated player
on day one of Wimbledon and a beloved halftime performer
at NBA games takes a tumble and we NBA fans
are concerned. You'll recognize this lady for sure, but she
(01:36):
is a staple, really a part of the NBA community.
So when we hear something happened to.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Her, we were all, yeah, But thankfully it looks like
she is going to be okay.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
But it was scary there for a moment.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, we we'll get into that about Red Panda is
her name, but we do need to start in Lower Manhattan.
The jury has reached verdicts on four of five counts
against Sean Diddy cones, but we have to wait to
hear them romes. This was another dramatic day of developments
On Tuesday, the first full day of deliberations, with the
(02:05):
eight men and four women deciding Diddy.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Space that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
They sent a note to the judge, saying they had
reached verdicts on counts two through five, but said it
was pointless to keep deliberating on count one, which was
the racketeering charge. The jury reported some members were yes
unpersuadable on that specific charge.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
After conferring with the attorneys, all of whom wanted the
jury to continue. This was the judge's response to the jury,
I ask that you continue deliberating, and with that those
deliberations will continue this morning. A lot of these developments
roles were at the end of the day yesterday, so
after he gave them an answer, they said, we're going
home for the day. This is probably going to be
helpful to get a rest and to come in fresh
(02:46):
this morning.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I can only imagine after spending the entire day and
if you feel like you're at a stalemate, people aren't
budging or moving. Yes, a good night's sleep sometimes can
well at least open people's minds and hearts to perhaps
more deliberations.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We're all after a good art west A reminder, folks,
the reason this one is the big one, It is
the complicated one, and the racketeering charge is the one
that carries the stiffest penalty possibly up to life in Brisain.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I can't imagine that did he got a good night's
sleep last night, and while he waits to hear his fate, well,
he just got some more bad news.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He got sued again.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Another civil lawsuit was filed yesterday, this one a ten
million dollar suit by Edmund Laurent.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Is that how you say his name?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Edmund Laurent a former model, actor and exotic dancer.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now he recounts a number of incidents in which he
was pressured, he says, into taking alcohol and drugs while
performing in those so called freak calls. He said he
actually did a number of free calls like he became
a regular as well, and he in fact says he
was sexually assaulted by Diddy and Jane Doe Rose. At
this point, he says he doesn't know who the Jane
(03:52):
Doe is, doesn't know her actual identity. The suit, though,
names ten a total of ten Jane and John do
those who say, he says, either participated, facilitated, or contributed
to the wrongful acts. After listening to the testimony fully
of the trial, reading this lawsuit, everything makes sense. It fits. Okay, Yeah,
(04:13):
I recognize that that sounds familiar.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That sounds familiar, And yet you told me to probably
skip reading the details because they're actually so heinous. Even
with all of the jaw dropping testimony we heard in court,
you said, this one even is worse.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's hard to imagine.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It has some awful, awful, I'm gonna say gross details
about what he allegedly went through.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, Next up on the run, we're going to
head to Washington, d C. Where the House is getting
its crack at Trump's big beautiful bill. Now that the
Senate passed the President's signature legislative agenda yesterday by the
thinnest of possible margins.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, it was a tie fifty to fifty. That's not
even a margin necessarily, but it was fifty to fifty
the vote in the Senate, so by rule, the Vice
President gets to cast the tie breaking vote. In a
of course, Jadvans voted for it, so it passes fifty
one to fifty. The House is working on it, already
started overnight, and they're trying to meet Trump's fourth of
July deadline to get it passed.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
If they had all the time in the world, it
would still be a challenge to get the legislation through.
With such a thin Republican majority, Speaker Johnson can only
afford to lose three Republican votes. And as if he
needed any more challenges, weather is now complicating things.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, you already got this tight margin, You already got
this deadline. But a number of members were out of
town and ropes. There have been severe storms on the
East and West coast in some places. There have been
tons of delays in flight cancelations. So given the tight window,
now can they even get back in time for the vote?
(05:44):
And every vote counts at this point?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wow, all right, we'll stay tuned to that. But next
up on our run, the Trump administration is claiming a
major victory in its efforts to keep transgender athletes from
competing in women and girls' sports.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
University of Pennsylvania UPenn has agreed to wipe out the
records and titles of swimmer Leah Thomas, and not only that,
the school will issue an apology to swimmers who lost
to her. Thomas was last competing at UPEN in twenty
twenty two and was the first openly transgender athlete to
win a D one title.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
The Department of Education launched an investigation of UPEN and
found the school had violated athletes' rights, and now the
school says it agrees. The Penn president said they acknowledged
that some student athletes were disadvantaged. We recognize this and
will apologize to those who experienced a competitive disadvantage or
experienced anxiety because of the policies in effect at that time.
(06:41):
The policies at that time allowed for the transgender athletes
to compete.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Apologize to those who experienced anxiety. It's almost like he's
setting himself up to be sued.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
For emotional distress and anxiety over this. That was a
bad thing to include, I thought. But the school also
agreed to put out a public statement saying they were
in line with the t policies on transgender athletes and
that the school will adopt biology based definitions of male
and female huge robes. This has been a conversation. We
talked about Gavin Newsom saying this was unfair to have
(07:13):
transgender athletes compete in women's and girls sports. This is
a major university, a D one school, who is saying
we apologize to you athletes that you had to compete
against a transgender athlete and that you were disadvantaged. This
huge statement from this school.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
All right, next up on Iran. President Trump sued CBS
for twenty billion dollars and he's getting sixteen million. And
it appears this very public and some say frivolous fight
with CBS is finally over.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yes, Trump and Paramount, the Paramount, the parent company. Wow,
that's a lot of me. So let me start that again.
Trump and Paramount, which is the parent company of CBS,
they have agreed to settle his lawsuit which he filed,
playing that sixty minutes deliberately edited its interview with Kamala
Harris to make her look better. They edited one answer
it sounded like kind of a word salad, and they
(08:07):
kind of condensed it. And that was only the one
part that they took issue with. Trump claimed that this
amounted to election interference by sixty months.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
So as part of the settlement, CBS said it will
release full transcripts of interviews with presidential candidates from now on.
Key to the agreement, CBS will not issue a statement
of apology or regret. CBS will pay sixteen million, and
that will go to fund Trump's eventual presidential library. And
pay for attorneys fees very similar in price and purpose
(08:38):
to the lawsuit we saw with ABC News.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The exact same amount for the exact same things. So
I guess NBC is up next. I guess Trump just
go ahead and write them with check attorney's fees. He
is getting his presidential library paid for by going after
the press right.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Now, My goodness, all right?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Next up on the Run, a fixture on Sunday mornings
in the nineteen eighty televangelist Jimmy Swaggert has died at
the age of ninety. He passed after a two week
hospital stay after he went into cardiac arrest on June fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, he was a groundbreaking preacher, really, one of the
first out there to take his sermons to a major
TV audience beginning in nineteen seventy five, created a ministry
worth more than one hundred million dollars by the mid
nineteen eighties, and then something went down in nineteen eighty
eight that changed things. He was caught on surveillance camera
with a New Orleans prostitute and gave that famous tearful sermon,
apologizing to his audience, saying, I have sinned against you.
(09:32):
I beg you to forgive me.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
He was eventually defrocked by his church, the Assemblies of God,
and even after being caught again with the prostitute in
nineteen ninety one, he did continue preaching for decades, albeit
with a much smaller audience.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He does not remember the second anthy yes.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So yes.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
After he apologized all of those tears, he got caught
once again by a police officer with a prostitute in
his vehicle. His family announced his death, saying today are
arts are heavy as we share that brother Swaggert has
finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of
his savior, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Swaggert's home state Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, offered his
condolences to the Swaggered family, and even President Trump took
the social media to say Swaggered was an incredible man
of faith.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But don't you remember the SNL skiss late night went
to town on him. But it was Phil Hartman who
did the impression of him crying saying please forgive me,
Please forgive me, so yes. That, unfortunately, is one of
the iconic moments those now, I guess they would say
that video would have gone viral. But back then, you know,
we didn't have any of that. And yet still you
can remember, and then you can see the comics who
(10:40):
just went to town on him after that.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
What a cultural moment we all remember that. It just
will forever be a part of pop culture. We'll stay
with us here on this Wednesday morning run when we
come back. Oh, Lululemon says you are being duped by Costco.
The first sign you're in Costco. Also coming up, the
biggest K pop group of all time is backed after
being forced to take a high atus. Also, the number
(11:05):
two tennis player in the world is out on day
one of Wimbledon. And our thoughts are with Red Panda
this morning, who took a tumble at halftime. All right,
let's continue our run on this Wednesday morning now. And
(11:27):
you are being duped by Costco, so says Lululemon, which
is suing the discount retailer for selling replicas of Lululemon clothes.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Its lawsuit accuses Costco of trade dress infringement and says
their clothing is so similar that it confuses customers. They
maintain an ordinary observer would not be able to tell
the difference between its brand and Costco's Kirkland brand. The
lawsuit points to a few specific items it says Costco
is replicated.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, Among them the suba hoodie. Now, if you get
this at Lululemon, it's going to cost you up to
one hundred and eighteen dollars, but no doubt it's going
to cost you at least one hundred bucks. So Costco's
version will cost you eight dollars. It's also Lululemon's ABC pants. Now,
I have five pairs of these in my closet right now.
These are one hundred and twenty eight dollars pants. I
(12:22):
got duped by Lululemon because my butt bought the expensive pants.
I could have gone to Costco, where they're sold for
five dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Ten dollars ten, ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Kirkland five is what they're called. Kirkland five pocket performance
pants sell for ten dollars. Lululemon wants Costco to pay
for its lost profits and wants the company who stopped
making similar products to its Scuba hoodies, sweatshirts and Define
jackets and the ABC pants. So, like they said, it's
it's confusing an ordinary observer. Customers are confused robes when
(12:54):
they walk into Costco and see Lululemon attire for ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, I feel like that's your first red flag that
maybe it's not Lululemon. I think we're all used to
kind of knock off items at discount stores, and this
would just be one of them. It kind of looks
like Lululemon, but clearly it's not. Namely, the price tag
would be your first first real observation that maybe you
aren't getting Lululemon clothing.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But I need another part of that. They don't want
them out there on the market because if you're not
the one that bought it and you just see it
on the street somewhere or see, you might be thinking
you're seeing Lululemon quality attire. So that's I guess that's
an issue as well. But come on, nobody thinks they're
going into Costco buying Lululemon pants.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I wouldn't think so, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Next up on a Run, bt S is back, the
biggest K pop band ever, has confirmed their forest hiatus
is over and they'll be releasing a new album and
launching a new tour next year.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
At the height of their international super stardom. The group
had to break up kind of sort of because all
members had to do mandatory eighteen month military surface in Korea.
The last member completed his service last month, so they
are getting back to work. Seven member group last toured
in twenty twenty two. Last full album was twenty twenty.
I believe it was. But they I fell in love
(14:12):
with these guys and we have witnessed their stardom in
a way, it is just something like I've never seen.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's surreal.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Good Morning America. When they came to the studio, you
could not believe the number of fans who had slept
in Times Square overnight waiting to just get a glimpse
of this band and the scream it was like beatle Mania.
I actually was blown away by their fan base.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
So good for them.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
God they're back.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I hope they haven't changed. But they're just so fun,
fun like enjoying the experience. They were so young when
they first came out. I am looking forward to seeing
what they do again.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, and the music's catchy, it's fun to dance to
all right.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Next up on Irun Day one of Wimbledon, and Coco
Goff is out already. The world number two and winner
of the French Open last month, Law lost in straight
sets to an unranked player yesterday in the first round.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, she's only the third woman now to ever lose
in the first round of Wimbledon. Immediately after winning the
French Open, so Coco Golf herself acknowledged that the high
of winning the French Open and everything that came after
it maybe had a mental toll that it took on her.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You can imagine maybe a physical one too. Right, how
long ago was that?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It was just a month ago, That's what I thought.
It is a short She did mention that as well,
there was a short turnaround. But imagine all the stuff
you have to do and the people coming after and
the appearances you have to make, and you get off
that routine. It kind of makes some sense, but it
sucks the same.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, it's just it's not, I don't want to say embarrassing,
but it kind of probably is a little bit, But
it doesn't speak to her.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, that just makes us that, you know what, she's human.
She's human.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
All right. For the final leg of our run, we
want to let everyone know we're thinking about Red Panda
this morning. The beloved performer who's been wowing fans for
decades at basketball halftime shows. She took a tumble last
night at the beginning of for performance in Minneapolis see
Red Panda.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You might not know that name, so you certainly won't
know her real name. If her name is wrong, Crystal New,
so what she goes by Crystal New. But she's the
lady you've seen, no doubt, certainly if you've been to
an NBA game, if you're a regular watcher. She rides
the seven foot unicycle. She balances up there, but she
has these bowls. She balances on her arms and feet
while on this unicycle. Then she's able to take the bulls,
(16:25):
kick them from her feet where she's balancing them up
onto her head. You have seen it. It's remarkable. But
she fell off that unicycle at the start of her
show last night. This was a halftime a WNBA game
between Indiana and Minnesota and rope. She didn't even get
to the park with the bulls. She had just gotten
onto the unicycle.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
She lost her balance.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, bottom line, she lost her balance again. Another
human moment. Even people who are remarkable and exceptional still
have human moments. She tried to walk off, but she
ended up taking a knee before someone came to help her.
It looks like she heard her wrist. She did eventually
walk off. She waved the crowd, the cheering crowd as
she did. She's been doing this since nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It's kind of amazing. This is the first time.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I can recall us ever even reporting on or anyone
reporting on a mishap or some sort of a fall. So,
I mean, that is exceptional. Just to think that she's
able to do what she does day in and day out.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I will make a confession this is I've seen her
countless times performed live because as you know, I covered
a bunch of MBA finals. She's always always there. And
when she comes I usually say to myself, oh her again,
because I've seen it so much and they use her
so much. And then you know what I do, sit
there and I'm glued to the entire performance. What she
does is absolutely incredible. Yeah, you see it so much.
(17:42):
She makes it look so easy, but I stop every
time what I'm doing to watch.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Wow, so good.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Look we're gonna see her back up there and she's
going to get a huge ovation.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Get back on her unicycle again. Yes, And on this Wednesday,
we have our quote of the day for you, and
actually this quote was in It was not intentional, but
it actually is such a big part of the last
two stories we just gave you talking about Cocoa goff,
talking about red Panda. This one comes from Arianna Huffington.
She says, failure is not the opposite of success. It's
(18:14):
part of success.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Gotta go through it. You gotta lose in the first round.
Sometimes you gotta fall off that unicycle. Sometimes it happens.
We just saw her fall this time. You know how
many times she's fallen off that thing that we have
never witnessed.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And I think people don't go after their dreams and
they don't do what they want because they're afraid to fail.
But the truth is, you have to know you're going
to that's inevitable. It's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen
more than once, probably, But that's your path to success
because that's where you learn how to make adjustments and
maybe even eat a little humble pie. It's not doesn't
taste too bad sometimes on the way up, even if
(18:49):
you have to take it on the way down. It
it creates, It creates. Your success is actually even that
much more enjoyable when you know that it was something
that was hard fought. So I love this quote by
Ariana Huffington and as something to remember as we all
are chasing our dreams.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Failure is not the opposite of success. It's part of success.
And with that, folks, we appreciate you listening. Stay close.
We are going to be keeping a close close eye
on what's happening in the courtroom deliberations starting again today
so we could get a verdict and hear about the
other verdicts at any moments. We will continue to keep
you updated and give you our thoughts when news does
(19:26):
come out of that court room book.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Now, I'm key Day and I'm Amy Roboch.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everybody,
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, Thanks for joining us for today's morning run.

I can't imagine that did he got a good night's

he just got some more bad news.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
He got sued again.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Another civil lawsuit was filed yesterday, this one a ten

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Is that how you say his name?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Edmund Laurent a former model, actor and exotic dancer.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now he recounts a number of incidents in which he
was pressured, he says, into taking alcohol and drugs while
performing in those so called freak calls. He said he
actually did a number of free calls like he became
a regular as well, and he in fact says he
was sexually assaulted by Diddy and Jane Doe Rose. At
this point, he says he doesn't know who the Jane
(03:52):
Doe is, doesn't know her actual identity. The suit, though,
names ten a total of ten Jane and John do
those who say, he says, either participated, facilitated, or contributed
to the wrongful acts. After listening to the testimony fully
of the trial, reading this lawsuit, everything makes sense. It fits. Okay, Yeah,
(04:13):
I recognize that that sounds familiar.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That sounds familiar, And yet you told me to probably

with all of the jaw dropping testimony we heard in court,
you said, this one even is worse.

It has some awful, awful, I'm gonna say gross details
about what he allegedly went through.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, Next up on the run, we're going to
head to Washington, d C. Where the House is getting
its crack at Trump's big beautiful bill. Now that the
Senate passed the President's signature legislative agenda yesterday by the
thinnest of possible margins.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Okay, it was a tie fifty to fifty. That's not
even a margin necessarily, but it was fifty to fifty
the vote in the Senate, so by rule, the Vice
President gets to cast the tie breaking vote. In a
of course, Jadvans voted for it, so it passes fifty
one to fifty. The House is working on it, already
started overnight, and they're trying to meet Trump's fourth of
July deadline to get it passed.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
If they had all the time in the world, it
would still be a challenge to get the legislation through.
With such a thin Republican majority, Speaker Johnson can only
afford to lose three Republican votes. And as if he
needed any more challenges, weather is now complicating things.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, you already got this tight margin, You already got
this deadline. But a number of members were out of
town and ropes. There have been severe storms on the
East and West coast in some places. There have been
tons of delays in flight cancelations. So given the tight window,
now can they even get back in time for the vote?
(05:44):
And every vote counts at this point?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wow, all right, we'll stay tuned to that. But next
up on our run, the Trump administration is claiming a
major victory in its efforts to keep transgender athletes from
competing in women and girls' sports.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
University of Pennsylvania UPenn has agreed to wipe out the
records and titles of swimmer Leah Thomas, and not only that,
the school will issue an apology to swimmers who lost
to her. Thomas was last competing at UPEN in twenty
twenty two and was the first openly transgender athlete to
win a D one title.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
The Department of Education launched an investigation of UPEN and
found the school had violated athletes' rights, and now the
school says it agrees. The Penn president said they acknowledged
that some student athletes were disadvantaged. We recognize this and
will apologize to those who experienced a competitive disadvantage or
experienced anxiety because of the policies in effect at that time.
(06:41):
The policies at that time allowed for the transgender athletes
to compete.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Apologize to those who experienced anxiety. It's almost like he's
setting himself up to be sued.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's bizarre.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
For emotional distress and anxiety over this. That was a
bad thing to include, I thought. But the school also
agreed to put out a public statement saying they were
in line with the t policies on transgender athletes and
that the school will adopt biology based definitions of male
and female huge robes. This has been a conversation. We
talked about Gavin Newsom saying this was unfair to have
(07:13):
transgender athletes compete in women's and girls sports. This is
a major university, a D one school, who is saying
we apologize to you athletes that you had to compete
against a transgender athlete and that you were disadvantaged. This
huge statement from this school.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
All right, next up on Iran. President Trump sued CBS
for twenty billion dollars and he's getting sixteen million. And
it appears this very public and some say frivolous fight
with CBS is finally over.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yes, Trump and Paramount, the Paramount, the parent company. Wow,
that's a lot of me. So let me start that again.
Trump and Paramount, which is the parent company of CBS,
they have agreed to settle his lawsuit which he filed,
playing that sixty minutes deliberately edited its interview with Kamala
Harris to make her look better. They edited one answer
it sounded like kind of a word salad, and they
(08:07):
kind of condensed it. And that was only the one
part that they took issue with. Trump claimed that this
amounted to election interference by sixty months.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
So as part of the settlement, CBS said it will
release full transcripts of interviews with presidential candidates from now on.
Key to the agreement, CBS will not issue a statement
of apology or regret. CBS will pay sixteen million, and
that will go to fund Trump's eventual presidential library. And
pay for attorneys fees very similar in price and purpose
(08:38):
to the lawsuit we saw with ABC News.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The exact same amount for the exact same things. So
I guess NBC is up next. I guess Trump just
go ahead and write them with check attorney's fees. He
is getting his presidential library paid for by going after
the press right.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Now, My goodness, all right?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Next up on the Run, a fixture on Sunday mornings
in the nineteen eighty televangelist Jimmy Swaggert has died at
the age of ninety. He passed after a two week
hospital stay after he went into cardiac arrest on June fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, he was a groundbreaking preacher, really, one of the
first out there to take his sermons to a major
TV audience beginning in nineteen seventy five, created a ministry
worth more than one hundred million dollars by the mid
nineteen eighties, and then something went down in nineteen eighty
eight that changed things. He was caught on surveillance camera
with a New Orleans prostitute and gave that famous tearful sermon,
apologizing to his audience, saying, I have sinned against you.
(09:32):
I beg you to forgive me.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
He was eventually defrocked by his church, the Assemblies of God,
and even after being caught again with the prostitute in
nineteen ninety one, he did continue preaching for decades, albeit
with a much smaller audience.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
He does not remember the second anthy yes.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So yes.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
After he apologized all of those tears, he got caught
once again by a police officer with a prostitute in
his vehicle. His family announced his death, saying today are
arts are heavy as we share that brother Swaggert has
finished his earthly race and entered into the presence of
his savior, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Swaggert's home state Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, offered his
condolences to the Swaggered family, and even President Trump took
the social media to say Swaggered was an incredible man
of faith.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But don't you remember the SNL skiss late night went
to town on him. But it was Phil Hartman who
did the impression of him crying saying please forgive me,
Please forgive me, so yes. That, unfortunately, is one of
the iconic moments those now, I guess they would say
that video would have gone viral. But back then, you know,
we didn't have any of that. And yet still you
can remember, and then you can see the comics who
(10:40):
just went to town on him after that.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
What a cultural moment we all remember that. It just
will forever be a part of pop culture. We'll stay
with us here on this Wednesday morning run when we
come back. Oh, Lululemon says you are being duped by Costco.
The first sign you're in Costco. Also coming up, the
biggest K pop group of all time is backed after
being forced to take a high atus. Also, the number
(11:05):
two tennis player in the world is out on day
one of Wimbledon. And our thoughts are with Red Panda
this morning, who took a tumble at halftime. All right,
let's continue our run on this Wednesday morning now. And
(11:27):
you are being duped by Costco, so says Lululemon, which
is suing the discount retailer for selling replicas of Lululemon clothes.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Its lawsuit accuses Costco of trade dress infringement and says
their clothing is so similar that it confuses customers. They
maintain an ordinary observer would not be able to tell
the difference between its brand and Costco's Kirkland brand. The
lawsuit points to a few specific items it says Costco
is replicated.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, Among them the suba hoodie. Now, if you get
this at Lululemon, it's going to cost you up to
one hundred and eighteen dollars, but no doubt it's going
to cost you at least one hundred bucks. So Costco's
version will cost you eight dollars. It's also Lululemon's ABC pants. Now,
I have five pairs of these in my closet right now.
These are one hundred and twenty eight dollars pants. I
(12:22):
got duped by Lululemon because my butt bought the expensive pants.
I could have gone to Costco, where they're sold for
five dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Ten dollars ten, ten dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Kirkland five is what they're called. Kirkland five pocket performance
pants sell for ten dollars. Lululemon wants Costco to pay
for its lost profits and wants the company who stopped
making similar products to its Scuba hoodies, sweatshirts and Define
jackets and the ABC pants. So, like they said, it's
it's confusing an ordinary observer. Customers are confused robes when
(12:54):
they walk into Costco and see Lululemon attire for ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, I feel like that's your first red flag that
maybe it's not Lululemon. I think we're all used to
kind of knock off items at discount stores, and this
would just be one of them. It kind of looks
like Lululemon, but clearly it's not. Namely, the price tag
would be your first first real observation that maybe you
aren't getting Lululemon clothing.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But I need another part of that. They don't want
them out there on the market because if you're not
the one that bought it and you just see it
on the street somewhere or see, you might be thinking
you're seeing Lululemon quality attire. So that's I guess that's
an issue as well. But come on, nobody thinks they're
going into Costco buying Lululemon pants.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I wouldn't think so, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Next up on a Run, bt S is back, the
biggest K pop band ever, has confirmed their forest hiatus
is over and they'll be releasing a new album and
launching a new tour next year.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
At the height of their international super stardom. The group
had to break up kind of sort of because all
members had to do mandatory eighteen month military surface in Korea.
The last member completed his service last month, so they
are getting back to work. Seven member group last toured
in twenty twenty two. Last full album was twenty twenty.
I believe it was. But they I fell in love
(14:12):
with these guys and we have witnessed their stardom in
a way, it is just something like I've never seen.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's surreal.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Good Morning America. When they came to the studio, you
could not believe the number of fans who had slept
in Times Square overnight waiting to just get a glimpse
of this band and the scream it was like beatle Mania.
I actually was blown away by their fan base.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
So good for them.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
God they're back.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I hope they haven't changed. But they're just so fun,
fun like enjoying the experience. They were so young when
they first came out. I am looking forward to seeing
what they do again.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, and the music's catchy, it's fun to dance to
all right.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Next up on Irun Day one of Wimbledon, and Coco
Goff is out already. The world number two and winner
of the French Open last month, Law lost in straight
sets to an unranked player yesterday in the first round.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, she's only the third woman now to ever lose
in the first round of Wimbledon. Immediately after winning the
French Open, so Coco Golf herself acknowledged that the high
of winning the French Open and everything that came after
it maybe had a mental toll that it took on her.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You can imagine maybe a physical one too. Right, how
long ago was that?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It was just a month ago, That's what I thought.
It is a short She did mention that as well,
there was a short turnaround. But imagine all the stuff
you have to do and the people coming after and
the appearances you have to make, and you get off
that routine. It kind of makes some sense, but it
sucks the same.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah, it's just it's not, I don't want to say embarrassing,
but it kind of probably is a little bit, But
it doesn't speak to her.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, that just makes us that, you know what, she's human.
She's human.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
All right. For the final leg of our run, we
want to let everyone know we're thinking about Red Panda
this morning. The beloved performer who's been wowing fans for
decades at basketball halftime shows. She took a tumble last
night at the beginning of for performance in Minneapolis see
Red Panda.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
You might not know that name, so you certainly won't
know her real name. If her name is wrong, Crystal New,
so what she goes by Crystal New. But she's the
lady you've seen, no doubt, certainly if you've been to
an NBA game, if you're a regular watcher. She rides
the seven foot unicycle. She balances up there, but she
has these bowls. She balances on her arms and feet
while on this unicycle. Then she's able to take the bulls,
(16:25):
kick them from her feet where she's balancing them up
onto her head. You have seen it. It's remarkable. But
she fell off that unicycle at the start of her
show last night. This was a halftime a WNBA game
between Indiana and Minnesota and rope. She didn't even get
to the park with the bulls. She had just gotten
onto the unicycle.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
She lost her balance.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, bottom line, she lost her balance again. Another
human moment. Even people who are remarkable and exceptional still
have human moments. She tried to walk off, but she
ended up taking a knee before someone came to help her.
It looks like she heard her wrist. She did eventually
walk off. She waved the crowd, the cheering crowd as
she did. She's been doing this since nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It's kind of amazing. This is the first time.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I can recall us ever even reporting on or anyone
reporting on a mishap or some sort of a fall. So,
I mean, that is exceptional. Just to think that she's
able to do what she does day in and day out.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I will make a confession this is I've seen her
countless times performed live because as you know, I covered
a bunch of MBA finals. She's always always there. And
when she comes I usually say to myself, oh her again,
because I've seen it so much and they use her
so much. And then you know what I do, sit
there and I'm glued to the entire performance. What she
does is absolutely incredible. Yeah, you see it so much.
(17:42):
She makes it look so easy, but I stop every
time what I'm doing to watch.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Wow, so good.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Look we're gonna see her back up there and she's
going to get a huge ovation.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Get back on her unicycle again. Yes, And on this Wednesday,
we have our quote of the day for you, and
actually this quote was in It was not intentional, but
it actually is such a big part of the last
two stories we just gave you talking about Cocoa goff,
talking about red Panda. This one comes from Arianna Huffington.
She says, failure is not the opposite of success. It's
(18:14):
part of success.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Gotta go through it. You gotta lose in the first round.
Sometimes you gotta fall off that unicycle. Sometimes it happens.
We just saw her fall this time. You know how
many times she's fallen off that thing that we have
never witnessed.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
And I think people don't go after their dreams and
they don't do what they want because they're afraid to fail.
But the truth is, you have to know you're going
to that's inevitable. It's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen
more than once, probably, But that's your path to success
because that's where you learn how to make adjustments and
maybe even eat a little humble pie. It's not doesn't
taste too bad sometimes on the way up, even if
(18:49):
you have to take it on the way down. It
it creates, It creates. Your success is actually even that
much more enjoyable when you know that it was something
that was hard fought. So I love this quote by
Ariana Huffington and as something to remember as we all
are chasing our dreams.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Failure is not the opposite of success. It's part of success.
And with that, folks, we appreciate you listening. Stay close.
We are going to be keeping a close close eye
on what's happening in the courtroom deliberations starting again today
so we could get a verdict and hear about the
other verdicts at any moments. We will continue to keep
you updated and give you our thoughts when news does
(19:26):
come out of that court room book.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Now, I'm key Day and I'm Amy Roboch.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Have a wonderful Wednesday, everybody,
