Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Ron. It's Monday,
September eighth. I'm Amy Robots.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
And I'm TJ Holmes. Congrats in Texas. Congrats in Missouri.
One point seven eight seven billion dollar jackpot. Two winning
tickets were sold in those two spots. And Robes, Yes, congratulations,
But one of these winners is coming out considerably better
than the other.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, stay taxes.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yes, because of where they happened to live. We'll get
into that. Always something fun with the power ball, but yes,
that one is finally done. Also, Robes, Yesterday, the US
Open Men's Final was more eventful than they wanted.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It to be correct. It wasn't about what was happening
on the court. It was what was happening in the
stands or getting into the stands.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was a mess, folks. It was an actual mess
at the US Open Men's final. And yes it was
Donald Trump's vault. Will explains a little harsh, but we'll
explain the mess that happened there yesterday. Also, this is
huge for us, the horror movie fans that we are
horror movie having a moment. Really a summer but even
(01:11):
a year almost in last weekend. This past weekend was
another big indication.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Oh, our favorite series, the Conjuring series just buoyed up
the horror genre in so many ways because I think, well,
we know, we can see from the numbers, people are
jumping on board the horror movie train. People used to
think it was, you know, some niche film thing that
weirdos like to go see because we were attracted to
like the fascination with the abomination. No, this is for
(01:37):
the masses. People love horror movies.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's official, and we will tell you about the records
now that the latest Conjuring movie has said. Also, people
rail against billionaires. Look at those billionaires. Look at what
they're doing over there. Everybody's mad at the billionaires. Well
wait until you hear now we might get our first trillionaire.
Is this really gonnaenes?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
They It might. Yes, it's actually possible in ten years.
Not right now, but in ten years, yes, we could
have the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
H you know him and know him well. But yes,
we'll explain the pay package that is putting one person
on the path to becoming possibly the first trillionaire that
the world has ever seen. Also a reminder for you.
Now take a look at that phone the Apple podcast
app where our show page is top right corner, a
little button that says follow click that you can get
our updates coming to you. You don't have to go
(02:29):
looking for him there. Also on the run on this
Monday morning, a few other things to tell you about.
Hundreds detained in that massive ice rate now awaiting a
charter flight home. Also a man hunt near Houston, a
new Ebola outbreak to tell you about, and a fifteen
year old saint. That is all the buzz right now. Ropes.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's right, all right, but we have to begin our
run on this Monday with that celebration. At least for
two people. We have a winner. We actually have winners
in the record powerball jackpot for the weekend. You know what,
It wasn't just too Almost ten million people actually won
something in this country.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, okay, let's be clear. They're not splitting the billion
dollar jackpie. But yes, a lot of tickets out there.
And there's a reason, folks, you need to look at
your tickets even if you didn't win the big jackpie.
We'll explain. Well, the winning tickets we were talking about,
they were sold the jackpot tickets sold in Texas, another
one was sold in Missouri. Now, these two winners, they
(03:28):
will have to split the one point seven eight seven
billion dollar powerball jackpot, the second largest in US history.
So the numbers breakdown is like this. If you go
with the cash option on the one point seven eighty
seven billion, you'll get eight hundred and twenty point six
million dollars. That's the cash option, and that's the cash
(03:50):
ropes they have to split.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now, that's right. So that means each winner will get
four hundred and ten million, three hundred thousand before taxes,
but after taxes take home for the winner in Texas
about two hundred and sixty million. The Missouri winners take
home will be about twenty million dollars less given those
state taxes. And by the way, in case you hadn't
heard and you need to check your ticket, the winning
(04:11):
numbers eleven, twenty three, forty four, sixty one, sixty two
and the powerball was seventeen.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And you mentioned earlier, Yes, that nine point nine million
tickets out there won something. Yes, it might be two dollars,
might be ten, might be one hundred. But in some
cases folks have on. You have what is this? You
have at least almost three hundred and twenty tickets out
there that are between fifteen one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That's not nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Check your tickets, folks, don't throw them out just yet.
You possibly won something.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, it's worth a look, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Continuing on our run, now head back here to New
York where President Trump attended the men's US Open final
yesterday and thousands of people probably wish he had not. Now,
this is not a political story, folks. This has nothing
to do publican a democrat and political leanings. Rather, their
annoyance was at the security headache prompted by the president's presence.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yes, that's because elevated TSA style security had to be
put in place by Secret Service. Understandably, though US Tennis
said they sent notices out, a lot of folks say
they never got a heads up about extra security and
they did not know they needed to be their extra early.
They actually pushed the start time of the match back
thirty minutes to try and accommodate all those fans who
(05:30):
were stuck in security lines, but that didn't really help much.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
This was not a good look. So the match was
already delayed, but they kept showing these live images on TV,
and folks, it looked like it looked like a gate
life situation at the airport with thousands of people just crowded.
They could not get in ropes. I didn't realize it
makes sense now, But you can get onto the grounds
(05:56):
of the US Tennis associated for the US, go to
a restaurant or get a drink and all this, but
you're already inside. You're not thinking I need to get
to my stadium early. You think it is not going
to be a problem, and that's what the problem was.
And everybody got stuck. So we're talking forty five minutes
an hour plus until the match is going on, and
(06:18):
you still got huge crowds outside clamoring trying to get in.
It was not a good look.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, and imagine how much money these people paid to
see the men's finals. That's a huge bucket list thing
to go see and for them to have missed most
of it, or at least half of it, is really tough. Meanwhile,
the USTA asked that ABC ESPN refrain from showing crowd
reactions or disruptions related to the President's attention, and there
weren't major disruptions, but there were a few occasions where
(06:45):
Trump was shown on the big screen and there was
a mix of scattered applause and booze. The President was
attending as a guest of Rolex and several members of
the president's cabinet and stafford with them. We could see
Carolyn Levitt, I believe was there.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The Pambondy Treasury Secretary twister.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then it looked like Ivanka's daughter was there as well.
So yes, it was a it was a spectacle for
a good.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Time to be had by all. It wasn't that bad
some of the booing and the cheers, but they didn't
show him that much. But he did have a moment
where he the national anthem and he was saluting and
they showed him and I mean it was you say,
that little smirk he had on his space, he gave
a little grin that was just a nod to what
was happening, if you will. By the way, Yeah, there
was a tennis match and Spain's Carlos Alchoraz beat Italy's
(07:29):
Janick Center and four sets to win the US Open title.
This is Alchoraz's sixth Grand Slam title. He's just twenty
two years old. He's the second youngest to ever get
to six Grand Slam wins this early in his life.
Alcoraz and Center have won every major title in the
past two years. So to your point about the fans
(07:51):
spending all that money, you know what, they also missed
number one and number two player in the world going
at it once again. This is just that it was
really unfortuate to see what was happening. It was a mess.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, I liked our seat. Yeah it wasn't bet on
our couch watching from the comforts of home with some popcorn,
all right. Next up on the run, President Trump is
putting Chicago on notice via social media meme. In a
weekend post, he's threatening a chipocalypse, using an AI generated
image with what appears to be smoldering Chicago in the
background and Trump in a hat and sunglasses. This is
(08:24):
all reminiscent of Apocalypse. Now Robert Duval's character who says
I love the smell of napalm in the morning, we
all know that line in that movie. Well, yeah, President
Trump went with that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yes, he went with that and added this line to
the meme, I love the smell of deportations in the morning, Chicago,
about to find out why it's called the Department of War.
Hipocalypse now is what it read. Now. This raised a
lot of eyebrow. Some people just shake their heads and
(08:54):
being dismissive. This is just Trump doing his thing. But
plenty of other people robes have already seen he's done
in LA and DC and are taking this quite seriously.
The President has been talking or some say threatening, for
weeks to put National Guard on the ground in Chicago
similar to what he did in d C, in order
to crack down on immigration and crime. All right, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They're on notice, all right. Next up on the run,
hundreds of South Koreans busted in a massive ice raid
at a Hyundai plant Hyundai Hyundai, a Hyundai plant in Georgia.
They're now waiting for their ride home. The South Korean
government says it's going to send a chartered plane to
pick up the three hundred workers who've been detained.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, A US Immigration detained a total of four hundred
and seventy five people, mostly yes, those South Korean nationals
at this plant last week and what was the largest
single site raid in homeland security history. The workers were
suspected of living and working in the US illegally.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
South Korea said it's working an agreement for their release
and would send a chartered plane to pick them up,
and they added they would be working to review and
imp prove the residency status for personnel traveling to the
United States.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Sorry continue on the run now, We had to Texas,
where an urgent manhunt is underway for a man accused
of opening fire on a group of people eating and
drinking at a patio bar just outside Houston. One man
has died, five others wounded, two of them critically.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The shooting was all captured on security video. It happened
around two thirty in the morning early Sunday, when witnesses
told police just an hour before the gunman was sitting
there alone at the bar, quietly drinking a beer. Police
say the gunman eventually walked out of the bar, but
only to come back to the bar's outdoor patio and
open fire without any warning. Based on the number of
(10:39):
shell casings, police say the gum and fired at least
twenty shots before fleeing the scene in a white full
sized van with no side windows. So they're asking for
help and identifying this man, but there's no known motive.
It's really inexplicable. What happened?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
All right? Our next leg of the run now takes
us to Congo. Another disturbing story. A health alert here,
authorities warning of a new ebola outbreak. His current outbreak
has already killed fifteen people among the twenty eight confirmed
cases so far, and the World Health Organization is warning
the numbers are expected to rise.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
One of the major concerned scientists have confirmed that the
latest cases involve the most virulent strain of the virus.
It's known as zaire. Ebola is highly contagious. It's transmitted
by bodily fluids and can be transmitted if those fluids
are on any surface like betting or clothing. This is
the sixteenth outbreak of ebola in Congo, and the health
minister said the fatality rate stands at nearly fifty four percent.
(11:34):
They're saying, that's why this is so concerning. This is
a virus that more often kills than not.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, and again this is anytime we hear about ebol,
I mean, one case of ebola, people will pay attention.
But when you hear about an ebola outbreak in the
exact region where Ebola was originally discovered and put the
world on notice. What in seventy five, seventy six or
something like that. It is of course going to be
of concern. We'll stay with the folks here on this
(12:00):
morning morning run. When we come back the latest saint
and he was only fifteen years old, we'll tell you
what's happening there in Rome. Also, a billionaire could become
a trillionaire. You probably already know who the guy is,
but we'll explain the pay package they're putting together that
could take him to a whole new level of salary,
(12:23):
if you will, And horror movie fans unite, we are
having a moment continuing now on this Monday morning run.
On next leg takes us to Rome, where Pope Leo
made a fifteen year old the Catholic Church's first millennial
(12:48):
Saint on Sunday. Carlo Acutis died nearly twenty years ago,
within days of being diagnosed with leukemia, but he devoted
much of his young life to spreading the word of
God through technology, earning him the nick name God's Influencer.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That's right. Acutas created a multi lingual website documenting eucharistic
miracles recognized by the Church, and he did so at
a time when it was pretty much unheard of for
any amateur or certainly not a child of his age
to be able to accomplish. So the Catholic Church also
requires two miracles to be attributed to someone before they're canonized.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So he has too yes attributed to him. The first
reportedly happened when the church says Acutus healed a Brazilian
boy with a birth defect. In the second, Acutas reportedly
healed a girl from Costa Rica who was suffering from
head trauma. Her mother says she prayed for her daughter's
recovery at his tomb.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So after his passing, Acutus was ultimately yes entombed in
a church in Assisi, where millions of young Catholics have
been visiting over the years. This was Leo's first saint
making mass, that's what they call it. I checked didn't
know that that was a thing, but this was a
saint making mass, and nearly eighty thousand people showed up
in Saint Peter Square to witness Leo Canonis, Acutus and
(14:00):
another popular Italian man who died young as well at
the age of twenty four. His name was Pierre Giorgio Frasati.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Now Prasanti died suddenly from polio, but was known for
his devotion to serving the poor and carrying out acts
of charity, spreading faith to his peers. Leo said, both
of these saints now created masterpieces out of their lives
by dedicating them to God. That's a what a cool story.
I wasn't familiar with this young man until let's talk
about sainthood. But to see how young people are, they
(14:29):
can relate. So it's not some old guy in a gown.
They don't know. This is really cool.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yes, where Acutus's body is they've actually made It was
a very complicated wax mold of his body. Anyway, there's
he's in Nike sneakers, jeans, a hoodie. So the hope
is that this will attract or at least spread the
word among younger Catholics. And they said the crowd that
was out there was significantly younger, like millennials, and then
young couples with young children. And that is the hope
(14:54):
that the Catholic Church can grow from all. Right, Next
up on the run from billionaire to trillionaire Musk may
be well on his way. Tesla's board of directors is
asking its shareholders to approve a pay package for Musk
that could be worth one trillion dollars over the next
ten years.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Okay, And a letter to shareholders, the board says it
is looking to quote, retain, and incentivize Elon to focus
his energies on Tesla and lead us through the pitiful
this pivotal moment in our history. Am I reading this right?
He's being rewarded for his absence.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yes, they want him to stick around, They want him
to focus.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But he's been absent since last summer in a lot
of ways because he's been doing a lot of politics.
So him being absent from work has gotten him a race.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder, don't they say?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Is amazing? Now? To get this full package, Tesla would
have to read some pretty significant markers, right, a market
value eight times its current value over the next decade,
So it would need to reach eight and a half
trillion correct over the next decade to do But possible.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think they believe it's possible with this new era
of just what we're looking at robotics, etc. So Tesla
would also need to deliver twenty million vehicles, produce one
million robotaxis, and manufacture one million of its humanoid robots
it's called Optimists, which are currently under development right now.
So basically the board wants him committed and focused to
CEO through twenty thirty and they believe just with all
(16:24):
the innovations that are coming around, with all this automated technology,
it's really important and clearly financially, there's an incentive for
him and for the board to bring Tesla through this
next period.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's mind blowing. And I know a lot of people
look at and everything going on in the country, but
if there is a company that thinks it can still
stay profitable by handing over a trillion dollars to someone,
it's hard to compute. Yep, it's hard to compute. Right,
final leg here for us now, ah, this is a doozy.
We would like to take full credit and responsibility for
(16:58):
the latest conjuring moving doing as well as it did.
We were there on night one, the first opportunity. These
were previews. We didn't not even night one really, it
was pre night one.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We were so excited. We were jet lagged and tired,
and we didn't care, say we are.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Going to see this two hour, fifteen minute movie in
a dark theater, exhausted, and it was worth it. But yes,
the latest Conjuring movie it did open this weekend, and
it blew past all box office expectations on its way
to setting horror movie records. Conjuring last rites, It's the
fourth in the Conjuring series, made eighty three million dollars
(17:32):
at the domestic box office robes. It was only predicted
to make forty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Million, and if it had made forty to fifty it
still would have been a wild success. So the fact
that it doubled that pretty much is remarkable. Combined with
international sales, get this, the movie made one hundred and
eighty seven million dollars, which is the second highest opening
for a horror movie ever. I didn't realize what the
number one movie was. It was just barely behind twenty
(17:58):
seventeen's It, which which totally makes sense.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
You remember that was such a big blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It was Steve Stephen King.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You're redoing all great actors in it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yes, we all grew up. I read the book, watched
all the initial iterations of it, so yes. The one
hundred four million it made overseas, by the way, is
the largest international opening for a horror movie.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
This is I am so happy and proud. And after
we saw the movie, we recorded an episode. If you
all want to go check it out, listen to our
late night recording.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We were giddy.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We were so giddy, but we were a little pissed
because we saw some reviews that we thought were a
little harsh.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And now I feel justified ballid it. Yeah, it is
a good movie. In fact, Annelius, my youngest, actually was cute.
She facetimed us yesterday and said, Mom, we're going to
see The Conjuring. Is it gonna be good? And I
was like, you're in for a tree and yes.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Word of mouth is helping it because we are screaming
to anybody within earshot of us that hey, you need
to go see this. But the Conjuring franchise, it includes
the Nun movies and the Annabelle movies, the most successful
horror movie franchise in history. This year, Center's Final Destination, Bloodlines,
and Weapons. Those were Hal's so good as huge hits,
(19:14):
and this movie Conjuring has outdone them.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All, almost doubled what they did at least opening weekend five.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
We're very happy.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
This is so exciting. I just it's sad that it's
the last one.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Here's the thing now, they said it was it's a
record setting movie. Now you really think they're gonna stop
making conjuring movies.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They got it, But you know what they need Patrick
Wilson and Via farmiingo though, because.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I won't show up without those.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
They need to be So look, obviously, with this kind
of money, money talks, so someone can say it's their
last one. I was reading articles about Via saying just
how physically taxing it is, all the stunts they have
to do, getting thrown around the room, et cetera. So
it's actually so exhausting. However, heavy material, money talks.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Sweetheart, how are they gonna close the chapter when you
just made history?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
And there are other cases. There's so many cases that
Ed and Larrae Moore uncovered, so there is there's more
content content, please, but we need those too, We need
those too. All right, as you go about your day
on this Monday, we would love for you to consider this.
This is our quote of the day. Darkness cannot drive
out darkness. Only light can do that hate cannot drive
(20:23):
out hate. Only love can do that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Did you pick this one on purpose? This seems very
tinmely with a lot we've been talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I absolutely chose it on purpose because it's been tough.
I mean, news has been tough all around. But I
just feel like the shootings and the just people behaving badly,
you know, just from a from a fan in the stand,
you know, stealing hats from kids to shooters, just or
or even people making a false shooter. Like just there
we see and we hear a lot of the evil
in the world, and I just love this reminder from
(20:53):
Martin Luther King Junior.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh, I haven't heard this with.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
This I had not either, and I just thought it
was so beautiful and so timely.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I think about it often that we've been talking about
this with politics and this idea we on fight fire
with fire, we're gonna need to. I hate the idea.
Anytime somebody tries to match somebody else's foolish the thing
you were just criticizing in their behavior, you know what,
I'm gonna do that too.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That's that kind of it's human nature to do that.
It's this like, I don't know if it's the ego,
but this need to defend and this need to just
match people's energy. But no, Martin Luther King Junior, thank
you for this amazing quote today. Hope you can take
this with you. Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light
can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love
(21:36):
can do that. So let's be the light. Let's be
the love everybody. And also a reminder, it is Monday,
and that means you can go to Yahoo check out
the Life page because we have a new column a
question from a reader, and that question is, well, our
reader is forty five years old. He had a vasectomy
after two kids with his first wife. They got divorced.
(21:58):
Now he's got a second wife four years and guess
what she's asking him to have the vasectomy reverse? He
asks us, what should he do? So we're going to
have a podcast about the article. Love for you to
check out the column first, but then also please check
out our next episode which will be coming out a
little later today. But in the meantime, everyone, thank you
(22:20):
so much for running with us on this Monday.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes. See Y'll say
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Ron. It's Monday,
September eighth. I'm Amy Robots.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
And I'm TJ Holmes. Congrats in Texas. Congrats in Missouri.
One point seven eight seven billion dollar jackpot. Two winning
tickets were sold in those two spots. And Robes, Yes, congratulations,
But one of these winners is coming out considerably better
than the other.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, stay taxes.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yes, because of where they happened to live. We'll get
into that. Always something fun with the power ball, but yes,
that one is finally done. Also, Robes, Yesterday, the US
Open Men's Final was more eventful than they wanted.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
It to be correct. It wasn't about what was happening
on the court. It was what was happening in the
stands or getting into the stands.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was a mess, folks. It was an actual mess
at the US Open Men's final. And yes it was
Donald Trump's vault. Will explains a little harsh, but we'll
explain the mess that happened there yesterday. Also, this is
huge for us, the horror movie fans that we are
horror movie having a moment. Really a summer but even
(01:11):
a year almost in last weekend. This past weekend was
another big indication.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Oh, our favorite series, the Conjuring series just buoyed up
the horror genre in so many ways because I think, well,
we know, we can see from the numbers, people are
jumping on board the horror movie train. People used to
think it was, you know, some niche film thing that
weirdos like to go see because we were attracted to
like the fascination with the abomination. No, this is for
(01:37):
the masses. People love horror movies.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's official, and we will tell you about the records
now that the latest Conjuring movie has said. Also, people
rail against billionaires. Look at those billionaires. Look at what
they're doing over there. Everybody's mad at the billionaires. Well
wait until you hear now we might get our first trillionaire.
Is this really gonnaenes?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
They It might. Yes, it's actually possible in ten years.
Not right now, but in ten years, yes, we could
have the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
H you know him and know him well. But yes,
we'll explain the pay package that is putting one person
on the path to becoming possibly the first trillionaire that
the world has ever seen. Also a reminder for you.
Now take a look at that phone the Apple podcast
app where our show page is top right corner, a
little button that says follow click that you can get
our updates coming to you. You don't have to go
(02:29):
looking for him there. Also on the run on this
Monday morning, a few other things to tell you about.
Hundreds detained in that massive ice rate now awaiting a
charter flight home. Also a man hunt near Houston, a
new Ebola outbreak to tell you about, and a fifteen
year old saint. That is all the buzz right now. Ropes.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's right, all right, but we have to begin our
run on this Monday with that celebration. At least for
two people. We have a winner. We actually have winners
in the record powerball jackpot for the weekend. You know what,
It wasn't just too Almost ten million people actually won
something in this country.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, okay, let's be clear. They're not splitting the billion
dollar jackpie. But yes, a lot of tickets out there.
And there's a reason, folks, you need to look at
your tickets even if you didn't win the big jackpie.
We'll explain. Well, the winning tickets we were talking about,
they were sold the jackpot tickets sold in Texas, another
one was sold in Missouri. Now, these two winners, they
(03:28):
will have to split the one point seven eight seven
billion dollar powerball jackpot, the second largest in US history.
So the numbers breakdown is like this. If you go
with the cash option on the one point seven eighty
seven billion, you'll get eight hundred and twenty point six
million dollars. That's the cash option, and that's the cash
(03:50):
ropes they have to split.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now, that's right. So that means each winner will get
four hundred and ten million, three hundred thousand before taxes,
but after taxes take home for the winner in Texas
about two hundred and sixty million. The Missouri winners take
home will be about twenty million dollars less given those
state taxes. And by the way, in case you hadn't
heard and you need to check your ticket, the winning
(04:11):
numbers eleven, twenty three, forty four, sixty one, sixty two
and the powerball was seventeen.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And you mentioned earlier, Yes, that nine point nine million
tickets out there won something. Yes, it might be two dollars,
might be ten, might be one hundred. But in some
cases folks have on. You have what is this? You
have at least almost three hundred and twenty tickets out
there that are between fifteen one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That's not nothing.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Check your tickets, folks, don't throw them out just yet.
You possibly won something.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, it's worth a look, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Continuing on our run, now head back here to New
York where President Trump attended the men's US Open final
yesterday and thousands of people probably wish he had not. Now,
this is not a political story, folks. This has nothing
to do publican a democrat and political leanings. Rather, their
annoyance was at the security headache prompted by the president's presence.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yes, that's because elevated TSA style security had to be
put in place by Secret Service. Understandably, though US Tennis
said they sent notices out, a lot of folks say
they never got a heads up about extra security and
they did not know they needed to be their extra early.
They actually pushed the start time of the match back
thirty minutes to try and accommodate all those fans who
(05:30):
were stuck in security lines, but that didn't really help much.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
This was not a good look. So the match was
already delayed, but they kept showing these live images on TV,
and folks, it looked like it looked like a gate
life situation at the airport with thousands of people just crowded.
They could not get in ropes. I didn't realize it
makes sense now, But you can get onto the grounds
(05:56):
of the US Tennis associated for the US, go to
a restaurant or get a drink and all this, but
you're already inside. You're not thinking I need to get
to my stadium early. You think it is not going
to be a problem, and that's what the problem was.
And everybody got stuck. So we're talking forty five minutes
an hour plus until the match is going on, and
(06:18):
you still got huge crowds outside clamoring trying to get in.
It was not a good look.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, and imagine how much money these people paid to
see the men's finals. That's a huge bucket list thing
to go see and for them to have missed most
of it, or at least half of it, is really tough. Meanwhile,
the USTA asked that ABC ESPN refrain from showing crowd
reactions or disruptions related to the President's attention, and there
weren't major disruptions, but there were a few occasions where
(06:45):
Trump was shown on the big screen and there was
a mix of scattered applause and booze. The President was
attending as a guest of Rolex and several members of
the president's cabinet and stafford with them. We could see
Carolyn Levitt, I believe was there.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
The Pambondy Treasury Secretary twister.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And then it looked like Ivanka's daughter was there as well.
So yes, it was a it was a spectacle for
a good.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Time to be had by all. It wasn't that bad
some of the booing and the cheers, but they didn't
show him that much. But he did have a moment
where he the national anthem and he was saluting and
they showed him and I mean it was you say,
that little smirk he had on his space, he gave
a little grin that was just a nod to what
was happening, if you will. By the way, Yeah, there
was a tennis match and Spain's Carlos Alchoraz beat Italy's
(07:29):
Janick Center and four sets to win the US Open title.
This is Alchoraz's sixth Grand Slam title. He's just twenty
two years old. He's the second youngest to ever get
to six Grand Slam wins this early in his life.
Alcoraz and Center have won every major title in the
past two years. So to your point about the fans
(07:51):
spending all that money, you know what, they also missed
number one and number two player in the world going
at it once again. This is just that it was
really unfortuate to see what was happening. It was a mess.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, I liked our seat. Yeah it wasn't bet on
our couch watching from the comforts of home with some popcorn,
all right. Next up on the run, President Trump is
putting Chicago on notice via social media meme. In a
weekend post, he's threatening a chipocalypse, using an AI generated
image with what appears to be smoldering Chicago in the
background and Trump in a hat and sunglasses. This is
(08:24):
all reminiscent of Apocalypse. Now Robert Duval's character who says
I love the smell of napalm in the morning, we
all know that line in that movie. Well, yeah, President
Trump went with that.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yes, he went with that and added this line to
the meme, I love the smell of deportations in the morning, Chicago,
about to find out why it's called the Department of War.
Hipocalypse now is what it read. Now. This raised a
lot of eyebrow. Some people just shake their heads and
(08:54):
being dismissive. This is just Trump doing his thing. But
plenty of other people robes have already seen he's done
in LA and DC and are taking this quite seriously.
The President has been talking or some say threatening, for
weeks to put National Guard on the ground in Chicago
similar to what he did in d C, in order
to crack down on immigration and crime. All right, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They're on notice, all right. Next up on the run,
hundreds of South Koreans busted in a massive ice raid
at a Hyundai plant Hyundai Hyundai, a Hyundai plant in Georgia.
They're now waiting for their ride home. The South Korean
government says it's going to send a chartered plane to
pick up the three hundred workers who've been detained.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, A US Immigration detained a total of four hundred
and seventy five people, mostly yes, those South Korean nationals
at this plant last week and what was the largest
single site raid in homeland security history. The workers were
suspected of living and working in the US illegally.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
South Korea said it's working an agreement for their release
and would send a chartered plane to pick them up,
and they added they would be working to review and
imp prove the residency status for personnel traveling to the
United States.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Sorry continue on the run now, We had to Texas,
where an urgent manhunt is underway for a man accused
of opening fire on a group of people eating and
drinking at a patio bar just outside Houston. One man
has died, five others wounded, two of them critically.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
The shooting was all captured on security video. It happened
around two thirty in the morning early Sunday, when witnesses
told police just an hour before the gunman was sitting
there alone at the bar, quietly drinking a beer. Police
say the gunman eventually walked out of the bar, but
only to come back to the bar's outdoor patio and
open fire without any warning. Based on the number of
(10:39):
shell casings, police say the gum and fired at least
twenty shots before fleeing the scene in a white full
sized van with no side windows. So they're asking for
help and identifying this man, but there's no known motive.
It's really inexplicable. What happened?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
All right? Our next leg of the run now takes
us to Congo. Another disturbing story. A health alert here,
authorities warning of a new ebola outbreak. His current outbreak
has already killed fifteen people among the twenty eight confirmed
cases so far, and the World Health Organization is warning
the numbers are expected to rise.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
One of the major concerned scientists have confirmed that the
latest cases involve the most virulent strain of the virus.
It's known as zaire. Ebola is highly contagious. It's transmitted
by bodily fluids and can be transmitted if those fluids
are on any surface like betting or clothing. This is
the sixteenth outbreak of ebola in Congo, and the health
minister said the fatality rate stands at nearly fifty four percent.
(11:34):
They're saying, that's why this is so concerning. This is
a virus that more often kills than not.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, and again this is anytime we hear about ebol,
I mean, one case of ebola, people will pay attention.
But when you hear about an ebola outbreak in the
exact region where Ebola was originally discovered and put the
world on notice. What in seventy five, seventy six or
something like that. It is of course going to be
of concern. We'll stay with the folks here on this
(12:00):
morning morning run. When we come back the latest saint
and he was only fifteen years old, we'll tell you
what's happening there in Rome. Also, a billionaire could become
a trillionaire. You probably already know who the guy is,
but we'll explain the pay package they're putting together that
could take him to a whole new level of salary,
(12:23):
if you will, And horror movie fans unite, we are
having a moment continuing now on this Monday morning run.
On next leg takes us to Rome, where Pope Leo
made a fifteen year old the Catholic Church's first millennial
(12:48):
Saint on Sunday. Carlo Acutis died nearly twenty years ago,
within days of being diagnosed with leukemia, but he devoted
much of his young life to spreading the word of
God through technology, earning him the nick name God's Influencer.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That's right. Acutas created a multi lingual website documenting eucharistic
miracles recognized by the Church, and he did so at
a time when it was pretty much unheard of for
any amateur or certainly not a child of his age
to be able to accomplish. So the Catholic Church also
requires two miracles to be attributed to someone before they're canonized.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So he has too yes attributed to him. The first
reportedly happened when the church says Acutus healed a Brazilian
boy with a birth defect. In the second, Acutas reportedly
healed a girl from Costa Rica who was suffering from
head trauma. Her mother says she prayed for her daughter's
recovery at his tomb.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So after his passing, Acutus was ultimately yes entombed in
a church in Assisi, where millions of young Catholics have
been visiting over the years. This was Leo's first saint
making mass, that's what they call it. I checked didn't
know that that was a thing, but this was a
saint making mass, and nearly eighty thousand people showed up
in Saint Peter Square to witness Leo Canonis, Acutus and
(14:00):
another popular Italian man who died young as well at
the age of twenty four. His name was Pierre Giorgio Frasati.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Now Prasanti died suddenly from polio, but was known for
his devotion to serving the poor and carrying out acts
of charity, spreading faith to his peers. Leo said, both
of these saints now created masterpieces out of their lives
by dedicating them to God. That's a what a cool story.
I wasn't familiar with this young man until let's talk
about sainthood. But to see how young people are, they
(14:29):
can relate. So it's not some old guy in a gown.
They don't know. This is really cool.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yes, where Acutus's body is they've actually made It was
a very complicated wax mold of his body. Anyway, there's
he's in Nike sneakers, jeans, a hoodie. So the hope
is that this will attract or at least spread the
word among younger Catholics. And they said the crowd that
was out there was significantly younger, like millennials, and then
young couples with young children. And that is the hope
(14:54):
that the Catholic Church can grow from all. Right, Next
up on the run from billionaire to trillionaire Musk may
be well on his way. Tesla's board of directors is
asking its shareholders to approve a pay package for Musk
that could be worth one trillion dollars over the next
ten years.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Okay, And a letter to shareholders, the board says it
is looking to quote, retain, and incentivize Elon to focus
his energies on Tesla and lead us through the pitiful
this pivotal moment in our history. Am I reading this right?
He's being rewarded for his absence.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yes, they want him to stick around, They want him
to focus.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But he's been absent since last summer in a lot
of ways because he's been doing a lot of politics.
So him being absent from work has gotten him a race.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder, don't they say?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Is amazing? Now? To get this full package, Tesla would
have to read some pretty significant markers, right, a market
value eight times its current value over the next decade,
So it would need to reach eight and a half
trillion correct over the next decade to do But possible.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I think they believe it's possible with this new era
of just what we're looking at robotics, etc. So Tesla
would also need to deliver twenty million vehicles, produce one
million robotaxis, and manufacture one million of its humanoid robots
it's called Optimists, which are currently under development right now.
So basically the board wants him committed and focused to
CEO through twenty thirty and they believe just with all
(16:24):
the innovations that are coming around, with all this automated technology,
it's really important and clearly financially, there's an incentive for
him and for the board to bring Tesla through this
next period.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's mind blowing. And I know a lot of people
look at and everything going on in the country, but
if there is a company that thinks it can still
stay profitable by handing over a trillion dollars to someone,
it's hard to compute. Yep, it's hard to compute. Right,
final leg here for us now, ah, this is a doozy.
We would like to take full credit and responsibility for
(16:58):
the latest conjuring moving doing as well as it did.
We were there on night one, the first opportunity. These
were previews. We didn't not even night one really, it
was pre night one.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
We were so excited. We were jet lagged and tired,
and we didn't care, say we are.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Going to see this two hour, fifteen minute movie in
a dark theater, exhausted, and it was worth it. But yes,
the latest Conjuring movie it did open this weekend, and
it blew past all box office expectations on its way
to setting horror movie records. Conjuring last rites, It's the
fourth in the Conjuring series, made eighty three million dollars
(17:32):
at the domestic box office robes. It was only predicted
to make forty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Million, and if it had made forty to fifty it
still would have been a wild success. So the fact
that it doubled that pretty much is remarkable. Combined with
international sales, get this, the movie made one hundred and
eighty seven million dollars, which is the second highest opening
for a horror movie ever. I didn't realize what the
number one movie was. It was just barely behind twenty
(17:58):
seventeen's It, which which totally makes sense.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
You remember that was such a big blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It was Steve Stephen King.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
You're redoing all great actors in it.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yes, we all grew up. I read the book, watched
all the initial iterations of it, so yes. The one
hundred four million it made overseas, by the way, is
the largest international opening for a horror movie.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
This is I am so happy and proud. And after
we saw the movie, we recorded an episode. If you
all want to go check it out, listen to our
late night recording.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We were giddy.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We were so giddy, but we were a little pissed
because we saw some reviews that we thought were a
little harsh.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
And now I feel justified ballid it. Yeah, it is
a good movie. In fact, Annelius, my youngest, actually was cute.
She facetimed us yesterday and said, Mom, we're going to
see The Conjuring. Is it gonna be good? And I
was like, you're in for a tree and yes.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Word of mouth is helping it because we are screaming
to anybody within earshot of us that hey, you need
to go see this. But the Conjuring franchise, it includes
the Nun movies and the Annabelle movies, the most successful
horror movie franchise in history. This year, Center's Final Destination, Bloodlines,
and Weapons. Those were Hal's so good as huge hits,
(19:14):
and this movie Conjuring has outdone them.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
All, almost doubled what they did at least opening weekend five.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
We're very happy.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
This is so exciting. I just it's sad that it's
the last one.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Here's the thing now, they said it was it's a
record setting movie. Now you really think they're gonna stop
making conjuring movies.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They got it, But you know what they need Patrick
Wilson and Via farmiingo though, because.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I won't show up without those.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
They need to be So look, obviously, with this kind
of money, money talks, so someone can say it's their
last one. I was reading articles about Via saying just
how physically taxing it is, all the stunts they have
to do, getting thrown around the room, et cetera. So
it's actually so exhausting. However, heavy material, money talks.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Sweetheart, how are they gonna close the chapter when you
just made history?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
And there are other cases. There's so many cases that
Ed and Larrae Moore uncovered, so there is there's more
content content, please, but we need those too, We need
those too. All right, as you go about your day
on this Monday, we would love for you to consider this.
This is our quote of the day. Darkness cannot drive
out darkness. Only light can do that hate cannot drive
(20:23):
out hate. Only love can do that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Did you pick this one on purpose? This seems very
tinmely with a lot we've been talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I absolutely chose it on purpose because it's been tough.
I mean, news has been tough all around. But I
just feel like the shootings and the just people behaving badly,
you know, just from a from a fan in the stand,
you know, stealing hats from kids to shooters, just or
or even people making a false shooter. Like just there
we see and we hear a lot of the evil
in the world, and I just love this reminder from
(20:53):
Martin Luther King Junior.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh, I haven't heard this with.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
This I had not either, and I just thought it
was so beautiful and so timely.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I think about it often that we've been talking about
this with politics and this idea we on fight fire
with fire, we're gonna need to. I hate the idea.
Anytime somebody tries to match somebody else's foolish the thing
you were just criticizing in their behavior, you know what,
I'm gonna do that too.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That's that kind of it's human nature to do that.
It's this like, I don't know if it's the ego,
but this need to defend and this need to just
match people's energy. But no, Martin Luther King Junior, thank
you for this amazing quote today. Hope you can take
this with you. Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light
can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love
(21:36):
can do that. So let's be the light. Let's be
the love everybody. And also a reminder, it is Monday,
and that means you can go to Yahoo check out
the Life page because we have a new column a
question from a reader, and that question is, well, our
reader is forty five years old. He had a vasectomy
after two kids with his first wife. They got divorced.
(21:58):
Now he's got a second wife four years and guess
what she's asking him to have the vasectomy reverse? He
asks us, what should he do? So we're going to
have a podcast about the article. Love for you to
check out the column first, but then also please check
out our next episode which will be coming out a
little later today. But in the meantime, everyone, thank you
(22:20):
so much for running with us on this Monday.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
