Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone. It is Tuesday, September twenty third.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes, and we have
plans to go see one of the worst reviewed movies
of the year. We are spending money to go see
him today. It's being so poorly reviewed. I am intrigued.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I am intrigued too, And there has been a plea
by one of the biggest stars of the movie to
ignore the reviews this.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I like what he did. He did in a kind
of a classy way. So we'll tell you what that's about,
and yes, why we are definitely going to see this movie. Also,
everybody knows Kimmel is back tonight. He'll be on the air,
But Robes, I'm not sure how many people listening to
us we'll be able to see Jimmy tonight, because not
everybody is going to have him on the TV tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That's right. The biggest ABC affiliate, the biggest owned and
operated station group, has said that they will still be
preempting Kimmel despite the fact that he's going on tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
MM, so you may or may not be able to
see him this evening. Also, look, I applause to McKenzie.
McKenzie got what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Look, Mackenzie Scott has been giving away this money like
she promised, and she has made another possibly life altering
donation to an organization this. I love how she's going
about it. And she's not making a big deal. Hey,
look at me. She doesn't announce them. I love this.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It is such an incredible example to set for people
who do have billions to spare.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, and we'll tell you how much she's giving away
and to whom. And there's a big week for us
here in New York. This is one of our favorite
days because we get to bitch and complain.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I was like, wait, love it yet, we.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Love the you. Actually, most of the time New Yorkers
might complain about something they shouldn't be complained about. This
is one that's legit and we take advantage every year.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Today's the day. I literally sent an email right before
we came on to record this to explain to someone
that I had to cut a call short because I
have to leave with significantly extra time given the fact
that it is un week here in New York City and.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
This happens to be the day that President Trump is
coming to town. Yes, this is the worst day for
traffic of the year in New York City.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And of course we have to be somewhere in the
middle of the mess.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So we'll tell you what's going on, preview his speech,
and as always, take a look at your phone. That
podcast an Apple podcast app top right corner on our
show page. A little button says follow Just click that
you can get our updates in. There have been a
lot lately, as you know, and also on this morning
run important a couple of days for Diddy and earthquake
in San Francisco. A note found connected to the shooting
at an ABC station suggests, yes, it had to do
(02:49):
with Kimmel and an airline it's laying off a third
of its flight attendants. But robes all the talk, yes,
a lot was about Kimmel, and tilanol was the other
thing that everybody was talking about. This is extraordinary.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yesterday, It certainly was. And so we begin our run
on this Tuesday with that major announcement. The President of
the United States yesterday told pregnant women don't take thailand
al don't take it. And for emphasis, he reiterated taking
tailanol is not good. I'll say it, it's not good.
And then, just to drive the point home, he added,
(03:24):
fight like hell not to take it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's kind of convincing. Look, he did not mince words
about this. He does not want pregnant women to take
thailand All. That's the president. Doctors are terrified at that message. Well,
the President was surrounded by doctors and other health officials
at the White House. He made what he billed as
a historic health announcement in which he was going to
(03:46):
reveal that they had found the answer to autism. As
he put it, that answer turned out to be an
unproven link between thailand All and autism. The President, citing
no evidence, claimed a potential association between tailan all, which
is aceta metaphine, and an increased risk of autism.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And it's fair to say, damn near everybody in the
medical community pushed back on this, based on decades of
studies that have shown no evidence that acena menaphine causes autism.
Thailand All is, by the way, the only pain reliever
and fever reducer recommended for pregnant women at this point.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, you all say, you all pregnant women. I've never
been pregnant before what I'm suggesting here. When I said it,
I guess it sets off alarm bells for a woman
who has ever been through the discomfort, Yes, of being pregnant. Wait,
you're taking away the one thing I even got a chance.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The only thing we can take.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So yes, the concern now among doctors is that pregnant
women will stop using thailand All when they actually need it,
putting themselves and yes, possibly they're babies at some type
of health risk. President Trump said he is directing the
FDA to change the warning label on thailand All and
said the administration would issue notices to physicians about the
(04:58):
potential risk. A reminder, one in thirty one kids in
its country it's diagnosed with autism. Of course, those numbers
are up, but they tell you we have better testing,
we have better screening, we're doing more of it, and
we have a wider spectrum of what is considered autism. So, yes,
those numbers are higher and yes, alarming. You don't want
them up, but you got to put it in some perspective,
doctor Sex.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yes, a lot of people believe that is just more awareness,
better diagnoses, and an acknowledgment of the spectrum itself. Correct
the company that makes TIL and All can View, tried
its best to push back on the President's claims, saying this,
we believe independent sound science clearly shows that taking a
seat of menafin does not cause autism. We strongly disagree
(05:41):
with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the
health risk this poses for expecting mothers.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, those few sentences did nothing for their stock slide yesterday,
as you could imagine, And it started to I guess
it started kind of right after the President made that
kind of out of nowherenouncement during Charlie Kirk's memorial. You
could see the stuff star going down, and you compared
it to the heart monitor. Yes, ekg. At one point
(06:09):
you see it just a drop off.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I mean it's like it they suffered a heart attack,
a massive flat line. I mean it just dropped and
then has stayed down at that point. Yes, a record
low yesterday, a fifty two week low for sure. Well.
The next leg of our run brings us back to Manhattan,
specifically to the East side of Manhattan, an area most
New Yorkers know to completely avoid today, but it affects
(06:32):
the entire city. The UN General Assembly, Yeah, it's you
in General Assembly week here in New York, and it
causes a traffic nightmare. And you know, complaining about the
traffic is something New Yorkers take great pride in every year.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Why do we love this somewmach everybody's just everybody's leading
with it on the news. Just everybody complains. It's kind
of just this.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, well that's what we do, you know, when it's raining,
when it's snowing, all of that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, you know, I like the Ghostbusters movie and there
was one point the Mayor of New York and there said, hey,
being miserable is every New Yorker's god given right. Oh
I remember that. So, yes, that's what we're doing right now.
And the president's yes. President Trump is going to be
here this morning. He's scheduled to deliver his address to
the World Body today at some point this morning. I'm
not sure about the time. His schedule says one thing,
(07:18):
and then some of the public schedule says something else.
I'm not quite sure, but it will be this morning.
And this is going to be the first time he
addressed the un during his second term. And yes, this
is a group rose he's facing, folks, He's been hitting
with tariffs, changes in foreign policy, and changes in foreign aid.
He's cut back on a lot of this.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Say when you say changes, you mean complete cuts in
foreign aid. Yes, that will be interesting if nothing else
next up on the run. You might have heard it
Kimmel is back tonight, but you might not be able
to see it because you have to live in a
city that is allowed to see him. Disney confirmed yesterday
Jimmy Kimmel Live will be back on the air tonight
after that brief suspension that triggered backlash and threats of boycott.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, he was pulled off the air last week after
those comments in his monologue about Charlie Kirk that were
deemed inappropriate. But now the size have seemed to found
a way forward. Disney put out this statement, saying, last Wednesday,
we made the decision to suspend the production of the
show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an
emotional moment for our country. You buy that That actually
(08:21):
reads for me? I mean that almost sounds reasonable.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I do that does make sense to me?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, yes, they continue. It is a decision we made
because we felt some of the comments were ill timed
and thus and sensitive. We have spent the last days
having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we
reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
However, Sinclair, the largest owner of ABC stations in the
United States, says it will not put Kimmel's show on
its stations and instead said it would pre empt the
show as meaningful conversations with Disney continue. Meanwhile, FCC Chairman
Brendan Carr is now claiming that Kimmel's suspension had nothing
to do with any federal pressure, but rather it was
(09:02):
Kimmel's ratings that were the problem. Is that a joke?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
No, okay, you actually said it. Their markets I'm looking
through go everywhere from Abilene, Amarillo, Bakersville, Baltimore, Birmingham, Buffalo, Charleston, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton,
Eugen They have a lot of MARFHA.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Thirty eight cities. Thirty eight markets will not be able
to see Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
A lot of these are decent sized markets and including
DC WOW stations. I'm s curious. It is interesting. They
we'll continue on the run now and police are investigating
and believe It's likely that ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel
prompted a man to shoot at an ABC affiliate in
Sacramento last week. Investigators found handwritten notes left by sixty
(09:49):
four year old Annibal Hernandez Santana that criticized the Trump
administration and a calendar reminder to quote, do the next
scary thing.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's a bizarre I'm used to seeing do the next
right thing, but he wrote do the next scary thing.
So police say Santana fired multiple gunshots towards and into
the ABC ten TV station in downtown Sacramento on Friday. Thankfully,
no one was injured, but an employee was inside at
the time. Santana has been charged with possessing a firearm
(10:21):
within a school zone, discharging a firearm within a school zone,
and interfering with a radio communication station.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So about this note now they found and its vehicle
is said quote for hiding Epstein and ignoring red flags.
Also FBI Director Cash Betel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino,
and Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to the note, said
that they were all next. Also, an anti Trump book
(10:50):
was found inside the car. Right now, Santana is facing
up to six years in prison and a two hundred
and sixty thousand dollars fine, but the Sacramento District Attorney's
office said it is planning to file more serious charts
just against him in the coming days.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
All right, Next up on the run, Sean Ditty Combs
has a critical couple of days and weeks ahead. He
will be in court this week asking the court to
do one of two things, either throw out his convictions
or grant him a new trial. And if that doesn't
go his way, his sentencing hearing is already scheduled for
next week on October third. His team yesterday filed a
(11:22):
sentencing memo arguing that Diddy should only get fourteen months
in jail.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Why is that so, key, Robes? As we know as
we follow this, he is getting credit for time served.
He was arrested last September, was it not. This man
has been in prison for twelve months. So do that math.
If he goes in there and the judge goes his
way a fourteen month, he'll be walking out of jail
in the.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Month or so, home in time for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh wow. So yes, he was convicted in July. As
you know, of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Each one of those counts carries a sentence up up
to ten years in prison. I think the prosecution now
said as they're going for somewhere four to five years
for each count, or now for both counts.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Both counts, for both counts, both counts. So we shall see,
but that will be interesting indeed. All right, Next up
on the run, we're going to head to San Francisco,
where a moderate earthquake rocked the Bay Area in the
early morning hours on Monday. The four point three magnitude
earthquake caused some minor damage, breaking business windows, shaking items
off store shelves, but thankfully no injuries and no major
(12:25):
structural damage was reported.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
And the Bay Area Rapid Transit or barked trains out there.
They ran on delay for most of the day as
crews made safety inspections to make sure the tracks were okay.
The earthquake struck near Berkeley, was felt throughout San Francisco
as far away as one hundred miles in Salinas.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
There was a two point six magnitude after shock just
a few hours later, and then last night around six
twenty pm, Pacific time, there was a three point zero
after shock. The USGS says the last quake of this
size in that area was seven years ago, when a
four point four earthquake struck on January fourth in two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
All right, folks, we'll stay with us on this Tuesday
morning run when we come back. She just can't stop
giving away money. Mackenzie Scott is at it again. She's
already given away nineteen billion and she keeps going. Also
coming up, a budget airline is getting rid of a
third of its flight attendance and possibly the worst reviewed
(13:21):
movie of the year. So why are we running it out?
To see it? Today? Continuing now on this Tuesday morning
Run with McKenzie Scott, she is at it again. The
billionaire philanthropists has made another major and potentially wildly impactful donation.
(13:47):
She has donated seventy million dollars to the United Negro
College Fund. That represents one of her largest single donations.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
The UNCF is the largest provider of scholarships to my
already students in the country, and that money will go
to creating a multi million dollar endowment at each of
the thirty seven HBCUs in the country.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I actually just got chilled. So cool, so cool. She's
made a donation actually to the group several years back.
I think it was ten million. But she has been,
as we know, in a giveaway spree. She committed, she
pledged to give away half of her wealth. That was
back in twenty nineteen, and she is on her way.
She made two billion dollars in donations last year and
has in the past six years given away a total
(14:30):
of nineteen billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I just god, that feels good to be that, to
be blessings just don't just given even she's changing like generations.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
She is shifting generations with this money. Oh. I love
what she's doing, so cools her.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yes, and thanks to her. That is incredible to her. Yes,
And we don't get many good stories, you know, in
the morning, so that's just such a wonderful one to share.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And now here we got.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yes. Next up on the run, budget airlines, Spirit Airlines
is tightening it's spelt once again after filing for bankruptcy
twice this year. It is now laying off one third
of its flight attendant. Spirit has announced it is firing
eighteen hundred of its fifty two hundred flight attendants effective
December first, and check out this statement.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The airline added that it's committed to treating employees affected
with care and respect during this process. I know that's
something maybe you have to say, but I'm sure not
a single one of them feels any of that. It
almost feels like, don't even say it.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Honestly, when I read that, I thought, you don't need
to say that. It feels patronizing. I know they probably
meant it in the best of ways, but it didn't read.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Well, okay, Well, it appear of Spirit pilots might be next.
The union representing them said it was told by the
airline that Spirit must obtain approximately one hundred million dollars
in annual cost savings from pilots.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Aka more layoffs are coming. Spirit said low demand has
forced its hand, saying budget conscious Americans are cutting back
on air travel and that those who can afford it
before a more premium flight experience.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
That makes sense for the final leg of our run. Now,
go see this movie. Everybody's telling you not to see it.
We are telling you to go see it. We're talking
about the movie Him, But don't just take it from us.
The star of this movie. Him is Marlon Wayans, and
he is telling fans and he has come out and
addressed some of these horrific reviews of the film, and
(16:27):
I thought he did it in a classy, classy way.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's right. Wayans plays a mysterious football legend in the
new thriller that's produced by horror hitmaker Jordan Peel that
many critics, most critics have described as a fumble. The
movie has received and I just say this like negative
reviews but really just eviscerating reviews from just about every outlet,
including The New York Times, the Hollywood Reporter, and then
(16:52):
that especially vicious one from Robert Ebert dot com. But
right now him also has just a twenty nine percent
rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn't helping things.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Okay, So he went to social media and this is
what he said. He started with respect, he said, just
to be clear, I respect critics. Their job is to critique.
I respect their work. It shapes our industry. But an
opinion does not always mean it's everyone's opinion. Some movies
are ahead of the curve. He went on to say,
innovation is not always embraced in art. Is to be interpreted,
(17:23):
and it's subjective. I've had a career of making classic
movies that weren't critically received, and those movies went on
to be classics. So don't take anyone's opinion. Just go
see for yourself. Love to all him in theaters now,
though it's I.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Think it was really cool to be just to own it,
to acknowledge what people are saying, and to say, hey,
guess what, guys. It's not always the case because what
critics are looking for isn't necessarily what the audience is
looking for. We've seen this happen. We were upset about
the conjuring reviews. They weren't bad, but they weren't as
good as we thought they should have been. And certainly
we've walked into movies where they've been highly claimed and
(18:00):
I walk away going huh, and I don't really like that.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We're walking into this one today.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Some of my favorite movies have like a seven percent
on Rotten Tomatoes. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
His Instagram post, and we're gonna be talking. We're gonna
put up a movie review of our own later on today.
But in part of his posts, and that was collecting
some of his classics, right, they're cult classics, right, White Chicks,
Scary Movie, Scary Movie Too, Haunted House, and don't be
a Menaced out of it has a long title. He
put up the reviews that it had Rotten Tomatoes. White
(18:32):
Chicks had fifteen percent. See Scary Movie Too thirteen percent, Wow,
Haunted House ten percent. I love we posted that I
might love look at these movies that all they all
is eating up now that look what you said about
and then on what the critics said. So I love
that he faced it. Good for him and we are look, okay,
we're fans. We've been a fan of his for a while.
(18:52):
He always was great, great, great when we spent time
with him in studio, like we had some of the best.
He's one of the best guests.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Off camera probably you know what that is, such a
way to put it. He is what you think he
is and more. And I actually am so excited. So
please look for our movie review. We haven't picked the
time yet, but we are going to put something up
later today on him, so you'll have to check that out.
But in the meantime, we want to leave you with
our quote of the day today. This one comes from
Dale Carnegie. In action breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds
(19:23):
confidence and courage.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
In action, yeah, I can't argue with that one. Damn
are you I haven't been sleeping. Well I'm not quite right.
You've been putting quotes up that upset me because I
can't argue. I'm like, ah, stop complaining, get up, go.
So in action is my problem right now?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, you're a pretty active person and you're constantly doing
and going. But it's when you're sitting and spinning and
ruminating and trying to you're worrying about what to do,
what not to do, when to do it all that
is what breeds doubt and fear. So action, just do it.
Get moving. We took a walk, you know. So when
you start to get stressed out and your mind starts
to get the best of you, just do something, you know,
(20:05):
and that does help. So I loved this quote. In
Action breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
Thank you, Dale Carnegie, and thank you for listening to us. Everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We're about to
go get to action.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone. It is Tuesday, September twenty third.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes, and we have
plans to go see one of the worst reviewed movies
of the year. We are spending money to go see
him today. It's being so poorly reviewed. I am intrigued.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I am intrigued too, And there has been a plea
by one of the biggest stars of the movie to
ignore the reviews this.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I like what he did. He did in a kind
of a classy way. So we'll tell you what that's about,
and yes, why we are definitely going to see this movie. Also,
everybody knows Kimmel is back tonight. He'll be on the air,
But Robes, I'm not sure how many people listening to
us we'll be able to see Jimmy tonight, because not
everybody is going to have him on the TV tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
That's right. The biggest ABC affiliate, the biggest owned and
operated station group, has said that they will still be
preempting Kimmel despite the fact that he's going on tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
MM, so you may or may not be able to
see him this evening. Also, look, I applause to McKenzie.
McKenzie got what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Look, Mackenzie Scott has been giving away this money like
she promised, and she has made another possibly life altering
donation to an organization this. I love how she's going
about it. And she's not making a big deal. Hey,
look at me. She doesn't announce them. I love this.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
It is such an incredible example to set for people
who do have billions to spare.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, and we'll tell you how much she's giving away
and to whom. And there's a big week for us
here in New York. This is one of our favorite
days because we get to bitch and complain.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I was like, wait, love it yet, we.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Love the you. Actually, most of the time New Yorkers
might complain about something they shouldn't be complained about. This
is one that's legit and we take advantage every year.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Today's the day. I literally sent an email right before
we came on to record this to explain to someone
that I had to cut a call short because I
have to leave with significantly extra time given the fact
that it is un week here in New York City and.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
This happens to be the day that President Trump is
coming to town. Yes, this is the worst day for
traffic of the year in New York City.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And of course we have to be somewhere in the
middle of the mess.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
So we'll tell you what's going on, preview his speech,
and as always, take a look at your phone. That
podcast an Apple podcast app top right corner on our

So yes, the concern now among doctors is that pregnant
women will stop using thailand All when they actually need it,
putting themselves and yes, possibly they're babies at some type
of health risk. President Trump said he is directing the
FDA to change the warning label on thailand All and
said the administration would issue notices to physicians about the
(04:58):
potential risk. A reminder, one in thirty one kids in
its country it's diagnosed with autism. Of course, those numbers
are up, but they tell you we have better testing,
we have better screening, we're doing more of it, and
we have a wider spectrum of what is considered autism. So, yes,
those numbers are higher and yes, alarming. You don't want
them up, but you got to put it in some perspective,
doctor Sex.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yes, a lot of people believe that is just more awareness,
better diagnoses, and an acknowledgment of the spectrum itself. Correct
the company that makes TIL and All can View, tried
its best to push back on the President's claims, saying this,
we believe independent sound science clearly shows that taking a
seat of menafin does not cause autism. We strongly disagree
(05:41):
with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the
health risk this poses for expecting mothers.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, those few sentences did nothing for their stock slide yesterday,
as you could imagine, And it started to I guess
it started kind of right after the President made that
kind of out of nowherenouncement during Charlie Kirk's memorial. You
could see the stuff star going down, and you compared
it to the heart monitor. Yes, ekg. At one point
(06:09):
you see it just a drop off.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I mean it's like it they suffered a heart attack,
a massive flat line. I mean it just dropped and
then has stayed down at that point. Yes, a record
low yesterday, a fifty two week low for sure. Well.
The next leg of our run brings us back to Manhattan,
specifically to the East side of Manhattan, an area most
New Yorkers know to completely avoid today, but it affects
(06:32):
the entire city. The UN General Assembly, Yeah, it's you
in General Assembly week here in New York, and it
causes a traffic nightmare. And you know, complaining about the
traffic is something New Yorkers take great pride in every year.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Why do we love this somewmach everybody's just everybody's leading
with it on the news. Just everybody complains. It's kind
of just this.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, well that's what we do, you know, when it's raining,
when it's snowing, all of that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, you know, I like the Ghostbusters movie and there
was one point the Mayor of New York and there said, hey,
being miserable is every New Yorker's god given right. Oh
I remember that. So, yes, that's what we're doing right now.
And the president's yes. President Trump is going to be
here this morning. He's scheduled to deliver his address to
the World Body today at some point this morning. I'm
not sure about the time. His schedule says one thing,
(07:18):
and then some of the public schedule says something else.
I'm not quite sure, but it will be this morning.
And this is going to be the first time he
addressed the un during his second term. And yes, this
is a group rose he's facing, folks, He's been hitting
with tariffs, changes in foreign policy, and changes in foreign aid.
He's cut back on a lot of this.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Say when you say changes, you mean complete cuts in
foreign aid. Yes, that will be interesting if nothing else
next up on the run. You might have heard it
Kimmel is back tonight, but you might not be able
to see it because you have to live in a
city that is allowed to see him. Disney confirmed yesterday
Jimmy Kimmel Live will be back on the air tonight
after that brief suspension that triggered backlash and threats of boycott.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, he was pulled off the air last week after
those comments in his monologue about Charlie Kirk that were
deemed inappropriate. But now the size have seemed to found
a way forward. Disney put out this statement, saying, last Wednesday,
we made the decision to suspend the production of the
show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an
emotional moment for our country. You buy that That actually
(08:21):
reads for me? I mean that almost sounds reasonable.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I do that does make sense to me?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, yes, they continue. It is a decision we made
because we felt some of the comments were ill timed
and thus and sensitive. We have spent the last days
having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we
reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
However, Sinclair, the largest owner of ABC stations in the
United States, says it will not put Kimmel's show on
its stations and instead said it would pre empt the
show as meaningful conversations with Disney continue. Meanwhile, FCC Chairman
Brendan Carr is now claiming that Kimmel's suspension had nothing
to do with any federal pressure, but rather it was
(09:02):
Kimmel's ratings that were the problem. Is that a joke?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
No, okay, you actually said it. Their markets I'm looking
through go everywhere from Abilene, Amarillo, Bakersville, Baltimore, Birmingham, Buffalo, Charleston, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton,
Eugen They have a lot of MARFHA.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Thirty eight cities. Thirty eight markets will not be able
to see Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
A lot of these are decent sized markets and including
DC WOW stations. I'm s curious. It is interesting. They
we'll continue on the run now and police are investigating
and believe It's likely that ABC's decision to suspend Kimmel
prompted a man to shoot at an ABC affiliate in
Sacramento last week. Investigators found handwritten notes left by sixty
(09:49):
four year old Annibal Hernandez Santana that criticized the Trump
administration and a calendar reminder to quote, do the next
scary thing.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's a bizarre I'm used to seeing do the next
right thing, but he wrote do the next scary thing.
So police say Santana fired multiple gunshots towards and into
the ABC ten TV station in downtown Sacramento on Friday. Thankfully,
no one was injured, but an employee was inside at
the time. Santana has been charged with possessing a firearm
(10:21):
within a school zone, discharging a firearm within a school zone,
and interfering with a radio communication station.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
So about this note now they found and its vehicle
is said quote for hiding Epstein and ignoring red flags.
Also FBI Director Cash Betel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino,
and Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to the note, said
that they were all next. Also, an anti Trump book
(10:50):
was found inside the car. Right now, Santana is facing
up to six years in prison and a two hundred
and sixty thousand dollars fine, but the Sacramento District Attorney's
office said it is planning to file more serious charts
just against him in the coming days.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
All right, Next up on the run, Sean Ditty Combs
has a critical couple of days and weeks ahead. He
will be in court this week asking the court to
do one of two things, either throw out his convictions
or grant him a new trial. And if that doesn't
go his way, his sentencing hearing is already scheduled for
next week on October third. His team yesterday filed a
(11:22):
sentencing memo arguing that Diddy should only get fourteen months
in jail.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Why is that so, key, Robes? As we know as
we follow this, he is getting credit for time served.
He was arrested last September, was it not. This man
has been in prison for twelve months. So do that math.
If he goes in there and the judge goes his
way a fourteen month, he'll be walking out of jail
in the.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Month or so, home in time for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh wow. So yes, he was convicted in July. As
you know, of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Each one of those counts carries a sentence up up
to ten years in prison. I think the prosecution now
said as they're going for somewhere four to five years
for each count, or now for both counts.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Both counts, for both counts, both counts. So we shall see,
but that will be interesting indeed. All right, Next up
on the run, we're going to head to San Francisco,
where a moderate earthquake rocked the Bay Area in the
early morning hours on Monday. The four point three magnitude
earthquake caused some minor damage, breaking business windows, shaking items
off store shelves, but thankfully no injuries and no major
(12:25):
structural damage was reported.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
And the Bay Area Rapid Transit or barked trains out there.
They ran on delay for most of the day as
crews made safety inspections to make sure the tracks were okay.
The earthquake struck near Berkeley, was felt throughout San Francisco
as far away as one hundred miles in Salinas.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
There was a two point six magnitude after shock just
a few hours later, and then last night around six
twenty pm, Pacific time, there was a three point zero
after shock. The USGS says the last quake of this
size in that area was seven years ago, when a
four point four earthquake struck on January fourth in two
thousand and eight.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
All right, folks, we'll stay with us on this Tuesday
morning run when we come back. She just can't stop
giving away money. Mackenzie Scott is at it again. She's
already given away nineteen billion and she keeps going. Also
coming up, a budget airline is getting rid of a
third of its flight attendance and possibly the worst reviewed
(13:21):
movie of the year. So why are we running it out?
To see it? Today? Continuing now on this Tuesday morning
Run with McKenzie Scott, she is at it again. The
billionaire philanthropists has made another major and potentially wildly impactful donation.
(13:47):
She has donated seventy million dollars to the United Negro
College Fund. That represents one of her largest single donations.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
The UNCF is the largest provider of scholarships to my
already students in the country, and that money will go
to creating a multi million dollar endowment at each of
the thirty seven HBCUs in the country.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I actually just got chilled. So cool, so cool. She's
made a donation actually to the group several years back.
I think it was ten million. But she has been,
as we know, in a giveaway spree. She committed, she
pledged to give away half of her wealth. That was
back in twenty nineteen, and she is on her way.
She made two billion dollars in donations last year and
has in the past six years given away a total
(14:30):
of nineteen billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I just god, that feels good to be that, to
be blessings just don't just given even she's changing like generations.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
She is shifting generations with this money. Oh. I love
what she's doing, so cools her.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yes, and thanks to her. That is incredible to her. Yes,
And we don't get many good stories, you know, in
the morning, so that's just such a wonderful one to share.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And now here we got.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yes. Next up on the run, budget airlines, Spirit Airlines
is tightening it's spelt once again after filing for bankruptcy
twice this year. It is now laying off one third
of its flight attendant. Spirit has announced it is firing
eighteen hundred of its fifty two hundred flight attendants effective
December first, and check out this statement.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
The airline added that it's committed to treating employees affected
with care and respect during this process. I know that's
something maybe you have to say, but I'm sure not
a single one of them feels any of that. It
almost feels like, don't even say it.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Honestly, when I read that, I thought, you don't need
to say that. It feels patronizing. I know they probably
meant it in the best of ways, but it didn't read.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Well, okay, Well, it appear of Spirit pilots might be next.
The union representing them said it was told by the
airline that Spirit must obtain approximately one hundred million dollars
in annual cost savings from pilots.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Aka more layoffs are coming. Spirit said low demand has
forced its hand, saying budget conscious Americans are cutting back
on air travel and that those who can afford it
before a more premium flight experience.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
That makes sense for the final leg of our run. Now,
go see this movie. Everybody's telling you not to see it.
We are telling you to go see it. We're talking
about the movie Him, But don't just take it from us.
The star of this movie. Him is Marlon Wayans, and
he is telling fans and he has come out and
addressed some of these horrific reviews of the film, and
(16:27):
I thought he did it in a classy, classy way.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's right. Wayans plays a mysterious football legend in the
new thriller that's produced by horror hitmaker Jordan Peel that
many critics, most critics have described as a fumble. The
movie has received and I just say this like negative
reviews but really just eviscerating reviews from just about every outlet,
including The New York Times, the Hollywood Reporter, and then
(16:52):
that especially vicious one from Robert Ebert dot com. But
right now him also has just a twenty nine percent
rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn't helping things.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Okay, So he went to social media and this is
what he said. He started with respect, he said, just
to be clear, I respect critics. Their job is to critique.
I respect their work. It shapes our industry. But an
opinion does not always mean it's everyone's opinion. Some movies
are ahead of the curve. He went on to say,
innovation is not always embraced in art. Is to be interpreted,
(17:23):
and it's subjective. I've had a career of making classic
movies that weren't critically received, and those movies went on
to be classics. So don't take anyone's opinion. Just go
see for yourself. Love to all him in theaters now,
though it's I.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Think it was really cool to be just to own it,
to acknowledge what people are saying, and to say, hey,
guess what, guys. It's not always the case because what
critics are looking for isn't necessarily what the audience is
looking for. We've seen this happen. We were upset about
the conjuring reviews. They weren't bad, but they weren't as
good as we thought they should have been. And certainly
we've walked into movies where they've been highly claimed and
(18:00):
I walk away going huh, and I don't really like that.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We're walking into this one today.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Some of my favorite movies have like a seven percent
on Rotten Tomatoes. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
His Instagram post, and we're gonna be talking. We're gonna
put up a movie review of our own later on today.
But in part of his posts, and that was collecting
some of his classics, right, they're cult classics, right, White Chicks,
Scary Movie, Scary Movie Too, Haunted House, and don't be
a Menaced out of it has a long title. He
put up the reviews that it had Rotten Tomatoes. White
(18:32):
Chicks had fifteen percent. See Scary Movie Too thirteen percent, Wow,
Haunted House ten percent. I love we posted that I
might love look at these movies that all they all
is eating up now that look what you said about
and then on what the critics said. So I love
that he faced it. Good for him and we are look, okay,
we're fans. We've been a fan of his for a while.
(18:52):
He always was great, great, great when we spent time
with him in studio, like we had some of the best.
He's one of the best guests.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Off camera probably you know what that is, such a
way to put it. He is what you think he
is and more. And I actually am so excited. So
please look for our movie review. We haven't picked the
time yet, but we are going to put something up
later today on him, so you'll have to check that out.
But in the meantime, we want to leave you with
our quote of the day today. This one comes from
Dale Carnegie. In action breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds
(19:23):
confidence and courage.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
In action, yeah, I can't argue with that one. Damn
are you I haven't been sleeping. Well I'm not quite right.
You've been putting quotes up that upset me because I
can't argue. I'm like, ah, stop complaining, get up, go.
So in action is my problem right now?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, you're a pretty active person and you're constantly doing
and going. But it's when you're sitting and spinning and
ruminating and trying to you're worrying about what to do,
what not to do, when to do it all that
is what breeds doubt and fear. So action, just do it.
Get moving. We took a walk, you know. So when
you start to get stressed out and your mind starts
to get the best of you, just do something, you know,
(20:05):
and that does help. So I loved this quote. In
Action breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
Thank you, Dale Carnegie, and thank you for listening to us. Everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We're about to
go get to action.
