Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone. It is Tuesday, December thirtieth. Welcome to Morning Run.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ Holmes. It says Tuesday,
December thirtieth, but a lot of folks don't know what
day it is. What you introduced me to this idea
a couple of years ago. It's called TwixT Tomus.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, it's TwixT miss is that? Yes, it's like this
time in between Christmas and New Year's where you don't
really have a schedule. Yeah, or at least most people
don't have a schedule. Some people still have to go
to work, and that is just the way it is.
But a lot of people just meander through these days.
They don't eat meals at regular times. They're binge watching shows.
(00:43):
They don't know what to do with themselves. They've gotten
out of their exercise routine. They're all upside down.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
They're messy, don't know what day it is, what's happening. Yes,
we are getting through the betwixt to Us season. But
they say this does mess people up a little bit
because it's hard to get back into a routine. You
just kind of fall off this week. So folks, wherever
you are sitting on a coucher, maybe Va Kate. We
had a moment the other day we didn't know what
country we were in, what was happening?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You wake up, you're like, wait, where am I right now?
And who's with me? And what day is it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So hope you're enjoying your TwixT us right now wherever
you are. Always good to have you with us as always.
Top right corner of that Apple podcast app where you
see our show page. If that button it says follow,
you can get our updates and there have been plenty
already even before the morning run here rose which let
people know if you want to look back. One in
our feed, we did have a post a pretty significant
update in the old Tyler Perry lawsuit that he got
(01:36):
hit with on Christmas Day, A significant update in that
case that we felt we wanted to share.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So you're better. Where can you find it in the feed?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's it's the one right before us. Yes, and we
go through some of these newly revealed text messages that
shed some very interesting light on that developing story. But again, yes,
a significant lawsuit seventy seven million dollars filed against Tyler
Perry on Christmas Day. But you can listen to and
hear these text messages for yourself and see where you
(02:06):
fall on all of that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
All right, But on the run this morning, several things
to update you about here. One, we got more cancelations
at the Kennedy Center here around the holidays, some pretty
significant statements by artists who are not going to be
performing because the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Now has Trump's name on it.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Also, an update on that deadly helicopter crash in New Jersey.
Another man has died. The NASCAR community dealing with another tragedy.
One of the Superstar drivers, Denny Hamlin, his dad has
died in a house fire and mom has been critically
injured also, and Robes this was a big headline. Anthony
Joshua someone that a lot of people might not even
known if you don't follow boxing closely. Well, they've known
(02:46):
his name very recently because he was just involved in
a major fight with the social media influenc return boxer
Jake Paul won that fight, but he's been involved in
a very serious accident in Nigeria and two very important
and close people to him died in that crash. We
(03:06):
will give you that update. Also, we're hearing about Beyonce.
She has done something that I thought she actually already did.
We'll explain. And also the story out of Texas. Who
want to start with Camilla Mendoza. Almost a lot of
people have been seeing that name in that face as
young lady Robes has been missing now since Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yes, this is an incredibly urgent story and they're calling
it just that there is a search of manhunt has
continued underway in Texas for nineteen year old camillaman Doza
almost she went missing on Christmas Eve and police have
used this phrase. They say that she is in imminent danger.
What they know is that she went into her car
(03:45):
and she grabbed something out of it. They're not sure
what it was. And she has her car keys with her,
and I believe they think she has her wallet with
her or her ID with her. But she didn't bring
her phone and that was significant because her mother said, yes,
she liked to take early morning walks, that's something she did,
but she always brought her phone with her. This time
she went out for this walk and she's never returned.
(04:07):
And there's new video that has surfaced.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, they're really pleading with the public here, folks in
the neighborhood who have those ring cams, and folks who
have any video.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But they have a dash.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Cam video from somewhere that they got and it shows
someone who maybe matches the description and maybe wearing similar clothes.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
To this young lady walking on the street. But Robes.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
This is how desperate they are. They're putting it out.
They said, we think it's her. We're not sure, but
at least gives us maybe a direction that she might
have been going. And roabes, how concerning is it a
nineteen year old young woman leaves the house without her
cell phone and the phone is off. It's just you
wonder what is happening there, because that certainly is concerning behavior.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
The sheriff.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
They're also saying that, yes, mental health is something they're
looking at. They're said she had signs of depression and
suicidal ideation based on some things they found on her phone.
They're not saying that is the thing, but they said
that is one possibility. But I haven't seen anywhere that
they have a suspect or they're saying foul play or
have any evidence I should say a.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Foul play, No, And They were even saying that they
don't know if she could have somehow made her way
to Mexico. I mean, they have really thrown a lot
of potential leads out there, but they don't know where
this young woman is. So yes, they are pleading for
the public's help in trying to find Camilla.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Almost an apology.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
This is the if it weren't clear, this is in
the San Antonio area of Texas. But that's been going
on since it was six days now, the sign of
this young lady.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's scary stuff, all right. Next up on the run.
First it was the Christmas Eve concert, and now more
musicians are canceling their concerts at the Kennedy Center, apparently
all over the fact that it's now called the Trump
Kennedy Center. The New Year's Eve show has now been canceled.
That's a big deal. And this is all according to
the jazz band that was scheduled to perform intomorrow evenings shows.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The Christmas Eve concert New Year's Eve concert, those are
big deals. They're both canceled. This group, the jazz band,
the Cookers. Now they didn't specifically say it was because
of the name, but they said it was because of
the name and putting out a statement. They apologize to fans,
but they use that phrase unable to perform. We're sorry
that we're unable to perform. But this is what they said.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Quote. Jazz was born from struggle.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And from a relentless insistence on freedom, freedom of thought,
of expression, and of the full human voice. Some of
us have been making the music for decades, and that
history still shapes us. We are not turning away from
our audience. Instead, they want everybody to be able to
celebrate the full presence of the music and everyone in it.
And here was the line. Our hope is that this
moment will leave space for reflection, not resentment.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
This is how they feel.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Look, it was carefully written not to be so political,
but it's clear that they were taking a stance here.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yes, and they added to everyone who is disappointed or upset,
we understand and share your sadness. We remain committed to
playing music that reaches across divisions rather than deepening them.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Hey, look, if they believe in this and this is
their way of making and moving things forward, and more
power to them. We have talked about this, of course,
you and I robes is this the way to go
to deny other people, but hey, this is their stance. Now,
this folk singer I didn't know her name, Christy Lee,
but a folks singer I can't remember. Some from the South.
I can't remember where she's from. But she has a
(07:21):
show on January fourteenth there at the Kennedy Center. She
did mince words, and she was a little more clear
in her reasoning.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yes, she even starts, I won't lie to you. Canceling
shows hurts. This is how I keep the lights on.
But losing my integrity would cost me more than any paycheck.
When American history starts getting treated like something you can ban, RaSE, rename,
or rebrand for somebody else's ego, I can't stand on
that stage and sleep right at night. Wow, she's not
(07:48):
mincing words. America didn't get built by branding. It got
built by people showing up and doing the work. And
the folks who carry it don't need their name on it.
They just show up. That's all I'm doing here. I'm
showing up up good and so yeah that's and then
I see what you wrote after that, which is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, I mean the last guy who canceled the show
is about to be sued four million dollars according to
the Kennedy Center. So are they going to go after
a folk singer who can't keep lights on barely?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Are they going to go after this jazz band? Maybe?
But I loved before. I've never heard of her before,
but love her. Because of that.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Line, America didn't get built by branding. She was kind
of making a point that the people who put in
the work are not asking for credit for the work.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
They're not asking for the name to go up.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Look, everybody has their opinion on this, but I at
least that line, I'll give it credit.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
For all right. Next up on the Run, another tragedy
impacting the NASCAR community. The father of NASCAR driver Denny
Hamlin has died after a house fire and his mother
was critically injured. This was in North Carolina. It was
described their home was described as fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
This is so bizarre. After six pm on such day,
(09:00):
flames were shooting through the roof. That's such a bizarre time.
You would think that people would be awake, they'd be
able to get out of the house, they wouldn't be sleeping.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Who knows, who knows, But they said they were was
the line here they said they had. They suffered catastrophic
injuries from the fire and trying to get out of it.
But Denny Hamlin is his dad's name as well. Denny
Hamlin seventy five years old. He has now passed away.
And the mom, Mary Lou Hamlin, sixty nine years old.
Again catastrophic injuries, but not sure how she's doing right now.
(09:30):
Denny Hamlin won Daytona five hundred and three times. He's
tenth on the all time wins list for NASCAR. He
is a big deal. And again we just remember Greg Biffel,
the family, the plane crash recently. These things really that's
a very tight knit community, the NASCAR community, so they're
being impacted once again.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Ah. So incredibly tragic and sad, all right. Next up
on the run, the second pilot now has died after
that mid air helicopter collision that happened in New Jersey
on Sunday. This was just thirty five miles southeast of Philly.
But one pilot we mentioned yesterday's morning run, seventy one
year old Michael Greenberg died at the scene. But then
sixty five year old Kenneth kirsh was taken to a hospital.
(10:09):
He now too, has died from his injuries. I mean,
look a mid air collision. The description of what it
looked like in the air and then on the ground.
It was hard to believe anyone even survived initially from
that crash. But this is such a sad story. They
were friends, they.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Said, they used to fly. They would fly places to
meet up, have a meal and fly. So who knows
what happened on this, but that's an awful one the
year even more tragic year when you hear the ages
and you know these guys were probably hobby. He's been
doing this a while and meeting up a while, and
just that's sad to hear. Another other sad story on
our run. Here next again from a name that's been
in the headlines lately, former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua. He
(10:46):
was injured in a car crash that killed two others.
And those two others were two that were very very.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Close to him.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Again, Anthony Joshua, you were there on the couch with
me watching this fight, he called Jake Paul a couple
of weekends ago. One by knockout again in this event,
and so much. We's been talking about Jake Paul and
he broke his jaw and about the fight and now ropes.
After all of those headlines, this headline comes out is
unbelievable to authority say Joshua was a passenger in an
(11:14):
suv that slammed into a truck on an expressway outside Legos, Nigeria.
We're I see that passion. But the two dead are
close friends. One is his personal trainer and the other
is his strength and conditioning guy. Oh man, We've been
with him, they say, almost since the very beginning of
his career, these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's incredibly sad. And when you hear about how it happened,
police are saying this has happened in just outside of Lagos, Nigeria.
But the suv they were in, they say experienced a
tire burst due to excessive speeding and then lost control.
So it sounds like according to police, whoever was driving
that suv was driving too fast, the tire burst and
(11:55):
then koreened out of control into a truck, killing the
two people on board.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And if that video, it's hard to even make out
that it's the front of it is an suv and
you see Joshua. They have people on the scene, have
all this video. He's sitting in the back seat, no
shirt on, almost stuck in the back because it's been
pushed in so much and he's in pain of trying
to get him. It's tough to see, but hopefully he
has a recovery physically is one thing, but emotionally from
(12:21):
losing too close friends and folks who have been so
much a part of his success. Will folks stay with
us here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back,
the President didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, but he
might be getting well not quite the next best thing,
but a pretty big deal and he would be the
first to ever get it. We'll explain, and Beyonce is
a billionaire. Really that's news, all right, folks, We continue
(12:51):
on this Tuesday morning run with big news for President Trump. No,
he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize that he's so
desperately wanted, but he is getting the Israel Prize. Now,
what exactly is the Israel Prize. It's a big damn
deal in Israel. I hadn't heard of it before, but
I guess the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the US
(13:11):
is the closest thing. I could equate this too, but
the difference is the President of Medal of Freedom. You
don't have to be an American citizen to get it.
But this Israel Prize, everyone who's gotten it for the
past seventy plus years has been Israeli.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yes, so yeah, they've been awarding it for more than
seven decades. It's considered the country's highest civilian honor. And
Benjamin Netanya, who said yesterday that Israel is going to
give the prize to President Trump next year. He said
that Trump has broken so many conventions, we decided to
break one of our own. So yes, the first time
ever a non Israeli will receive the Israel Prize. So
(13:51):
the criteria is that you've either been a resident of
Israel for the past three years or you are an
Israeli citizens. So this will just be an exception that
they may uh, they.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Say, there's a there's an exception that can be made
for someone who has made a special contribution to the
Jewish people.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
But this might I'm not sure, but it might get challenged.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
A lot of people are bothered by this. I mean,
it's a yeah, we're not going to argue the record
and what the Israel thinks about him, and he and
net Yahoo.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Seem to be big buds. How many times has Benjamin
Nett Yah, who come to the White House in just
this second term?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I saw a count that he came more times this
year than he did in all of Biden's four years. Yes,
but they've met more times than that. So this was
at mar A Lago. They were just there yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Right, forget the White House. It's cold up there right now.
Better to go to Flo. Very good point, very very
much a better climate there all right. Next up on
the run, Beyonce is a billionaire, according to Forbes. And
we're just shocked, because we're not shocked because we kind
of thought she was already. But she is the fifth
musician big deal, to become a billionaire, big deal. That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I we have the here in front of us, of
the others, but I think we could have come up
with I might have missed one of them.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Springsteen. I would have missed. I would have missed Springsteen.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I don't know that I would have known he
was a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'm not sure, yes, or at least that Forbes has
enlisted as one, but Taylor.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Swift that would have been our first door. Rihanna. I mean,
is she at two billion plus now? Given that makeup.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Line CENTI, I love her makeup so that it's so funny.
How Yes, her music is amazing, love Rihanna, but it's
her business acumen that actually has propelled her up to
the top of her game.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But we said there were five artists now who have
been on the billion list. The other one happens to
be Beyonce is a husband. We got relationship, we goals.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That are jay Z now is joined by his wife,
so they can be they're a billionaire duo. Has that
ever been done before? No, because yes, I was just
thinking about that. Obviously, you might be considered a billionaire
by default because whatever state you live and you've been
married enough, it's fifty to fifty regardless. So whatever's like,
she would already have access to it. But to have
(16:09):
that type of portfolio on her own outside of jay
Z is very impressive.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
With these two individuals, it's only five musicians ever, two
of them in the same household.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
That's just impressive. It is we honor you, we respect you,
and we are looking up to you. Finally, here before
we let you go.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Something we like for you to consider it is our
quote of the day for you, my dear robot quote.
Growth demands a new environment. The place you are will
start to feel uncomfortable if you're growing and the people
around you are not.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Wow. Yeah, you can outgrow people. You can outgrow relationships.
That's absolutely true.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And the best sign, when you think about it, is
things start to get uncomfortable, things start. Why am I
not feeling good here? Why are we fighting a little more?
Why are we not agreeing on places to go and
things to do? Why is it that there's tension now
all of a sudden. That might be it, and it's
not a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, we don't always grow at the same rate or pace, right,
That's cool. Where'd you get that quote from?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Probably my faster.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Can you say it for us one more time?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Growth demands a new environment.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
The place you are will start to feel uncomfortable if
you're growing and the people around you are not. And
with that, folks always appreciate you taking a run with us.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
For now, I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And I'm Amy Robach. We will talk to you soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone. It is Tuesday, December thirtieth. Welcome to Morning Run.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ Holmes. It says Tuesday,
December thirtieth, but a lot of folks don't know what
day it is. What you introduced me to this idea
a couple of years ago. It's called TwixT Tomus.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, it's TwixT miss is that? Yes, it's like this
time in between Christmas and New Year's where you don't
really have a schedule. Yeah, or at least most people
don't have a schedule. Some people still have to go
to work, and that is just the way it is.
But a lot of people just meander through these days.
They don't eat meals at regular times. They're binge watching shows.
(00:43):
They don't know what to do with themselves. They've gotten
out of their exercise routine. They're all upside down.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
They're messy, don't know what day it is, what's happening. Yes,
we are getting through the betwixt to Us season. But
they say this does mess people up a little bit
because it's hard to get back into a routine. You
just kind of fall off this week. So folks, wherever

had a moment the other day we didn't know what
country we were in, what was happening?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
You wake up, you're like, wait, where am I right now?
And who's with me? And what day is it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
So hope you're enjoying your TwixT us right now wherever

That's a big deal. And this is all according to
the jazz band that was scheduled to perform intomorrow evenings shows.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The Christmas Eve concert New Year's Eve concert, those are
big deals. They're both canceled. This group, the jazz band,
the Cookers. Now they didn't specifically say it was because
of the name, but they said it was because of
the name and putting out a statement. They apologize to fans,
but they use that phrase unable to perform. We're sorry
that we're unable to perform. But this is what they said.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Quote. Jazz was born from struggle.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And from a relentless insistence on freedom, freedom of thought,
of expression, and of the full human voice. Some of
us have been making the music for decades, and that
history still shapes us. We are not turning away from
our audience. Instead, they want everybody to be able to
celebrate the full presence of the music and everyone in it.
And here was the line. Our hope is that this
moment will leave space for reflection, not resentment.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
This is how they feel.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Look, it was carefully written not to be so political,
but it's clear that they were taking a stance here.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yes, and they added to everyone who is disappointed or upset,
we understand and share your sadness. We remain committed to
playing music that reaches across divisions rather than deepening them.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Hey, look, if they believe in this and this is
their way of making and moving things forward, and more
power to them. We have talked about this, of course,
you and I robes is this the way to go
to deny other people, but hey, this is their stance. Now,
this folk singer I didn't know her name, Christy Lee,
but a folks singer I can't remember. Some from the South.
I can't remember where she's from. But she has a
(07:21):
show on January fourteenth there at the Kennedy Center. She
did mince words, and she was a little more clear
in her reasoning.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yes, she even starts, I won't lie to you. Canceling
shows hurts. This is how I keep the lights on.
But losing my integrity would cost me more than any paycheck.
When American history starts getting treated like something you can ban, RaSE, rename,
or rebrand for somebody else's ego, I can't stand on
that stage and sleep right at night. Wow, she's not
(07:48):
mincing words. America didn't get built by branding. It got
built by people showing up and doing the work. And
the folks who carry it don't need their name on it.
They just show up. That's all I'm doing here. I'm
showing up up good and so yeah that's and then
I see what you wrote after that, which is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, I mean the last guy who canceled the show
is about to be sued four million dollars according to
the Kennedy Center. So are they going to go after
a folk singer who can't keep lights on barely?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Are they going to go after this jazz band? Maybe?
But I loved before. I've never heard of her before,
but love her. Because of that.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Line, America didn't get built by branding. She was kind
of making a point that the people who put in
the work are not asking for credit for the work.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
They're not asking for the name to go up.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Look, everybody has their opinion on this, but I at
least that line, I'll give it credit.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
For all right. Next up on the Run, another tragedy
impacting the NASCAR community. The father of NASCAR driver Denny
Hamlin has died after a house fire and his mother
was critically injured. This was in North Carolina. It was
described their home was described as fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
This is so bizarre. After six pm on such day,
(09:00):
flames were shooting through the roof. That's such a bizarre time.
You would think that people would be awake, they'd be
able to get out of the house, they wouldn't be sleeping.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Who knows, who knows, But they said they were was
the line here they said they had. They suffered catastrophic
injuries from the fire and trying to get out of it.
But Denny Hamlin is his dad's name as well. Denny
Hamlin seventy five years old. He has now passed away.
And the mom, Mary Lou Hamlin, sixty nine years old.
Again catastrophic injuries, but not sure how she's doing right now.
(09:30):
Denny Hamlin won Daytona five hundred and three times. He's
tenth on the all time wins list for NASCAR. He
is a big deal. And again we just remember Greg Biffel,
the family, the plane crash recently. These things really that's
a very tight knit community, the NASCAR community, so they're
being impacted once again.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Ah. So incredibly tragic and sad, all right. Next up
on the run, the second pilot now has died after
that mid air helicopter collision that happened in New Jersey
on Sunday. This was just thirty five miles southeast of Philly.
But one pilot we mentioned yesterday's morning run, seventy one
year old Michael Greenberg died at the scene. But then
sixty five year old Kenneth kirsh was taken to a hospital.
(10:09):
He now too, has died from his injuries. I mean,
look a mid air collision. The description of what it
looked like in the air and then on the ground.
It was hard to believe anyone even survived initially from
that crash. But this is such a sad story. They
were friends, they.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Said, they used to fly. They would fly places to
meet up, have a meal and fly. So who knows
what happened on this, but that's an awful one the
year even more tragic year when you hear the ages
and you know these guys were probably hobby. He's been
doing this a while and meeting up a while, and
just that's sad to hear. Another other sad story on
our run. Here next again from a name that's been
in the headlines lately, former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua. He
(10:46):
was injured in a car crash that killed two others.
And those two others were two that were very very.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Close to him.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Again, Anthony Joshua, you were there on the couch with
me watching this fight, he called Jake Paul a couple
of weekends ago. One by knockout again in this event,
and so much. We's been talking about Jake Paul and
he broke his jaw and about the fight and now ropes.
After all of those headlines, this headline comes out is
unbelievable to authority say Joshua was a passenger in an
(11:14):
suv that slammed into a truck on an expressway outside Legos, Nigeria.
We're I see that passion. But the two dead are
close friends. One is his personal trainer and the other
is his strength and conditioning guy. Oh man, We've been
with him, they say, almost since the very beginning of
his career, these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's incredibly sad. And when you hear about how it happened,
police are saying this has happened in just outside of Lagos, Nigeria.
But the suv they were in, they say experienced a
tire burst due to excessive speeding and then lost control.
So it sounds like according to police, whoever was driving
that suv was driving too fast, the tire burst and
(11:55):
then koreened out of control into a truck, killing the
two people on board.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
And if that video, it's hard to even make out
that it's the front of it is an suv and
you see Joshua. They have people on the scene, have
all this video. He's sitting in the back seat, no
shirt on, almost stuck in the back because it's been
pushed in so much and he's in pain of trying
to get him. It's tough to see, but hopefully he
has a recovery physically is one thing, but emotionally from
(12:21):
losing too close friends and folks who have been so
much a part of his success. Will folks stay with
us here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back,
the President didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize, but he
might be getting well not quite the next best thing,
but a pretty big deal and he would be the
first to ever get it. We'll explain, and Beyonce is
a billionaire. Really that's news, all right, folks, We continue
(12:51):
on this Tuesday morning run with big news for President Trump. No,
he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize that he's so
desperately wanted, but he is getting the Israel Prize. Now,
what exactly is the Israel Prize. It's a big damn
deal in Israel. I hadn't heard of it before, but
I guess the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the US
(13:11):
is the closest thing. I could equate this too, but
the difference is the President of Medal of Freedom. You
don't have to be an American citizen to get it.
But this Israel Prize, everyone who's gotten it for the
past seventy plus years has been Israeli.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yes, so yeah, they've been awarding it for more than
seven decades. It's considered the country's highest civilian honor. And
Benjamin Netanya, who said yesterday that Israel is going to
give the prize to President Trump next year. He said
that Trump has broken so many conventions, we decided to
break one of our own. So yes, the first time
ever a non Israeli will receive the Israel Prize. So
(13:51):
the criteria is that you've either been a resident of
Israel for the past three years or you are an
Israeli citizens. So this will just be an exception that
they may uh, they.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Say, there's a there's an exception that can be made
for someone who has made a special contribution to the
Jewish people.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
But this might I'm not sure, but it might get challenged.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
A lot of people are bothered by this. I mean,
it's a yeah, we're not going to argue the record
and what the Israel thinks about him, and he and
net Yahoo.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Seem to be big buds. How many times has Benjamin
Nett Yah, who come to the White House in just
this second term?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I saw a count that he came more times this
year than he did in all of Biden's four years. Yes,
but they've met more times than that. So this was
at mar A Lago. They were just there yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Right, forget the White House. It's cold up there right now.
Better to go to Flo. Very good point, very very
much a better climate there all right. Next up on
the run, Beyonce is a billionaire, according to Forbes. And
we're just shocked, because we're not shocked because we kind
of thought she was already. But she is the fifth
musician big deal, to become a billionaire, big deal. That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I we have the here in front of us, of
the others, but I think we could have come up
with I might have missed one of them.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Springsteen. I would have missed. I would have missed Springsteen.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I don't know that I would have known he
was a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'm not sure, yes, or at least that Forbes has
enlisted as one, but Taylor.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Swift that would have been our first door. Rihanna. I mean,
is she at two billion plus now? Given that makeup.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Line CENTI, I love her makeup so that it's so funny.
How Yes, her music is amazing, love Rihanna, but it's
her business acumen that actually has propelled her up to
the top of her game.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But we said there were five artists now who have
been on the billion list. The other one happens to
be Beyonce is a husband. We got relationship, we goals.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That are jay Z now is joined by his wife,
so they can be they're a billionaire duo. Has that
ever been done before? No, because yes, I was just
thinking about that. Obviously, you might be considered a billionaire
by default because whatever state you live and you've been
married enough, it's fifty to fifty regardless. So whatever's like,
she would already have access to it. But to have
(16:09):
that type of portfolio on her own outside of jay
Z is very impressive.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
With these two individuals, it's only five musicians ever, two
of them in the same household.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
That's just impressive. It is we honor you, we respect you,
and we are looking up to you. Finally, here before
we let you go.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Something we like for you to consider it is our
quote of the day for you, my dear robot quote.
Growth demands a new environment. The place you are will
start to feel uncomfortable if you're growing and the people
around you are not.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Wow. Yeah, you can outgrow people. You can outgrow relationships.
That's absolutely true.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And the best sign, when you think about it, is
things start to get uncomfortable, things start. Why am I
not feeling good here? Why are we fighting a little more?
Why are we not agreeing on places to go and
things to do? Why is it that there's tension now
all of a sudden. That might be it, and it's
not a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, we don't always grow at the same rate or pace, right,
That's cool. Where'd you get that quote from?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Probably my faster.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Can you say it for us one more time?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Growth demands a new environment.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
The place you are will start to feel uncomfortable if
you're growing and the people around you are not. And
with that, folks always appreciate you taking a run with us.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
For now, I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And I'm Amy Robach. We will talk to you soon.
