Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, It's Tuesday, November twenty fifth. I'm Amy Roboch and I'm TJ.
00:00:11
Speaker 2: Holmes. And if you are one of the seventy three point three million people expected to hit the road for Thanksgiving, you got just a little time to go on the road before things get real bad. Road They say today and tomorrow are the busiest travel days as far as the road goes. That makes sense, but they are even specific about the times that you don't need to be on the road, and it makes sense, I guess.
00:00:31
Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, obviously, today, starting at noon all the way till nine pm, gonna be really busy on the roads. And then tomorrow, starting at eleven am to eight pm, that's when you should want to try to avoid being on any major roadway. Yeah, however, that is the time when it's usually most convenient for people to get where they're going.
00:00:55
Speaker 2: Yes, some of those late arrivals Wednesday again, Mama, Mama, probably don't like day coming so late at eight o'clock the night before, you can't come earlier. But no, whatever it is, this is and exciting a fun time. It's getting more excited around our house as well, as we get kids coming in from college and more and more bodies are coming into the house. So this is going to be a really good time. So please be safe out there, but hope you have a good one.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, And you said be safe, Well, there's a lot of weather coming your way, at least for a lot of folks who are traveling across the country. A tornado last night even damaged and estimated hundred homes in the Houston area. Thankfully no injuries were reported. But that storm system is now making its way east and it's gonna bring heavy rain and severe thunderstorms to parts of the South, and then another storm system is heading into the upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions where heavy snow is possible, and those of us in the Northeast getting a big old drench in today. It's gonna be wild. But hey, we'll all be together. So good luck everybody.
00:01:59
Speaker 2: Okay, friendly guys giving an update about that as well. The FAA says this is going to be the busiest Thanksgiving for air travel and some fifteen years busiest day for travelers is going to be one of many people can guess this the busiest day for flyers is the day after Thanksgiving. Everybody's trying to get the hell out of there.
00:02:17
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought it would have been Sunday. See, I would have guessed wrong.
00:02:20
Speaker 2: Second busiest day, yes, Mike, is going to be on Monday, so people spend a long holiday weekend. If you're gonna put the effort in the fly somewhere, don't go back until Monday. But then the third busiest day is the Friday after. Oh, third bus day is the I got my dates wrong here. The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year. The second busiest is December first, to get that correct. But look, we do this every year. We've been in the news business a long time and we roll eyes about it every single newscast you see, folks, from now until what probably Monday, Yes, is going to lead with traveling weather.
00:02:56
Speaker 1: I've been sent up in a helicopter more times than I can count for. Or the travel woes facing Thanksgiving travelers, and certainly Black Friday, the lines outside Walmart. You know, we're just you know what, get used to lines. There are gonna be some lines this week, but we all have very exciting places to go. And again we'll all be together. Yes, that's what matters. That's what matters.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: There's weather every year, there's busy travel every year. There's headaches every year. It's a part of it, and it's part of the news business job to scare you more about it so that you why it's gonna be the same as it is for the most part every year. We always have issues with folks. Make this a good one, Make it a special when pack some patients and remember the point of the holiday in the first place. Also on the run this morning, we wanted to start with all the travel and holiday related stuff, but also a lot of stuff to get to. On the run this morning, we got major updates on two high profile murder investigations, one of them the team found dead on a carnival cruise ship and the other investigation having to do with a fourteen year old found in the trunk of singer David's car. And also running with us this morning will be James Comy, Senator Mark Kelly, Shador Sanders, mother Fletcher and two turkeys, one name Gobble and one name Waddle. Will explain so creative, yeah right, But here's the thing. The two turkeys being pardoned name are Gobble and Waddle, and I, sweetheart, pulled the names of the previous Turkey's pardoned because I knew you were going to have a problem with Gobble and Walkay.
00:04:29
Speaker 1: You just made my day, Coleman Kluck, I mean, I'm just guessing.
00:04:33
Speaker 2: Uh close. Well, we will get to those for you, but we do need to start first here with a story again, Rope. This has been making national headlines for weeks now. The update on the death of Anna Kepner.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: Yes, her death has now officially been ruled a homicide. The eighteen year old Florida teenager, as you may remember, was found dead on the Carnival Horizon on November seventh. Her body was found wrapped in a blanket, concealed under a bed, and then covered with life jackets. Yeah.
00:05:05
Speaker 2: ABC News says they have now gotten their hands on the death certificate for Kepner and it says mechanical asphyxia is listed as the cause of death and this is a homicide now. Kepner was on vacation with her dad's stepmom, grandparents, siblings, and step siblings on this trip. Now, no charges have been filed, but in a separate court proceeding having to do with Kepner's step mother. She indicated that one of her children is under investigation in this case.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run. We have been waiting on a cause of death for the teenage girl found in the trunk of Singer David's tesla. But now a court has ordered that the autopsy results for fourteen year old Celestrievas not be released to the public.
00:05:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, and police specifically made this request to the court. They said, their investigation into murder. Those are their words. Investigation into murder could be jeopard including revealing again their words here the identity of witnesses and or informants who are cooperating with law enforcement.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Wow. Revas's body was found in the trunk of a tesla registered to David on September eighth, And you mentioned folks cooperating with law enforcement. Law enforcement came out and said very specifically that Singer David is not cooperating with authorities at this point.
00:06:25
Speaker 2: I continue on the run here. Now, a federal judge has thrown out the indictments against former FBI Director James Comy and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The dj has gone after both of them and what both of them have called politically motivated prosecutions.
00:06:40
Speaker 1: And the judge ruled that those indictments were unlawful because they were brought by a prosecutor who was unlawfully appointed. Lindsay Halligan, a former Trump aid, was appointed by the President as head prosecutor of the Eastern District of Virginia after the previous head of that office refused to bring cases against Comy and James.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: Judge didn't rule on the merits of the DOJ cases against Comy and James. Rather, he simply said Halligan wasn't legally appointed, therefore she didn't have the legal authority to do damn near anything in the office. The administration is not letting this go, saying they are appealing and will take all available legal action to continue to go after Comy and James. Wasn't this interesting?
00:07:21
Speaker 1: Now?
00:07:22
Speaker 2: You remember they brought the case against Kobe for lying in congressional testimony. That was a five year statute of limitations they charged him right before. Yes, it's over now the statue has so.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: If they have to recharge him, they it won't be eligible.
00:07:36
Speaker 2: Might not wow? Very interesting?
00:07:38
Speaker 1: Okay? Next up on the run, the Defense Department is investigating and considering a possible court martial for Senator Mark Kelly. The DoD announced it's received serious allegations of misconduct, but did not elaborate on what those allegations are or where they came from.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they said this that a thorough review of these allegations has been an initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court martial proceedings or administrative measures. Now, Kelly, the Democrat from Arizona, was one of six senators who were part of a video in which they reminded members of the military that they can refuse illegal orders. President Trump called their act seditious, pointed out that sedition was punishable by death. He didn't seem like he was going to let this go. He wants he was really pissed.
00:08:28
Speaker 1: Yes, and over the weekend reiterated the fact that those six lawmakers should be in jail. So he did not mince words there. And by the way, Kelly is a retired naval captain, which means he can be recalled to military duty, which means he can face a court martial.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: All right, crazy, We're going to bring you back just so we can punish it exactly.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: And because he is a higher ranking officer, he is eligible to be recalled, whereas the others are not. Woo. All right. Next up on the run, a mysterious manhunt is underway in Virginia.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: Story.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: Yes, and we're going to do a full podcast on this in a bit because it is so interesting and fascinating. And we say mysterious because police have not been clear at all about why they're searching for this missing guy.
00:09:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this missing guy is forty six year old Travis Turner. Now it's making a lot of headlines because in part because he's kind of high profile where he is. This is in the wet south west corner of the state there. But he's a high school football coach. His team just went twelve and oher and made the playoffs. He went missing, what a day or two after their last game, and they have a playoff game coming this weekend. All right. So police saying they were on their way to his home this was five days ago, to investigate a complaint, but then they were told that Turner was not home.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: They didn't elaborate on why they were looking for him, but they made it very clear he's not a suspect, and they were not looking to arrest him. They just wanted to investigate gate a complaint. That's all they've said. They've used search teams, dogs, drones, helicopters. I mean, this has been a serious manhunt. This is in Appalatia, Virginia, like Bristol, Tennessee, that whole area. This is that area of the Virginia, Tennessee area, mountainous, lots of woods.
00:10:19
Speaker 2: But the resources they're putting into it seem odd for somebody who's not high priority. This is a high priority something. They either think he's dangerous or maybe a danger to himself. They have this is a serious man hut.
00:10:30
Speaker 1: And the last thing you just said seems possible because they've said their hope is that they can find him safe. The school district also where he works, said they put an employee on leave, but they would not say who or why. But a lot of people are connecting those dots.
00:10:46
Speaker 2: All right. You want to continue on the run on this Tuesday morning now with Reverend Jesse Jackson. Some good news here. He's out of the hospital at least, and his family says it's proof that prayer works. You remember we told you about this the Civil Rights Icon. He's now twelve days in the hospital. He had spent until yesterday where he got out. He was admitted for observation as he was dealing with super nuclear palsy. That's a neurological disorder that he has. Eighty four year old is now resting at home. And I thought it was a good line from his friends and family from the Push Coalition that he started said, quote, we bear witness to the fact that prayer works. So don't know how he's doing. I guess it's a good sign that he's out of the hospital. But yeah, I hope he's had a tough several years as far as his health goes.
00:11:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, wishing him well. Eighty four is that's impressive that he is doing better and now thankfully at home. All right. Next up on the Run, the oldest living survivor of one of the worst and ugliest racial attacks in this country has passed away. Viola Floyd Fletcher was one hundred and eleven years old. She was just seven during the Tulsa race Massacre of nineteen twenty one, a two day white supremacist slaughter in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa. That's an area that was known at that time as Black Wall Street.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, three hundred people were killed. Attackers burned and destroyed homes and businesses, just laid waste to this prominent area. Fletcher was affectionately called Mother Fletcher and was one of only two survivors. She was the oldest at one hundred and eleven. But there's someone else who is also one hundred and eleven, Leslie Bennington Randall is still kicking at one hundred and eleven years old as well. But that's a part of this country's history, ugly, certainly history. But I just wanted to make sure just some people, I'm surprised and not even familiar with the Tulsa race massacre and if you have a moment, to look it up as a part of our history. And she was as well, So it was important to note that we lost, I guess, a big part of our history in living anymore.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: How remarkable though that the two people who survived were still alive to one hundred and eleven. That is so maybe to make sure we all remembered.
00:12:55
Speaker 2: You know, crazy people get back and certainly too involved in.
00:12:59
Speaker 1: The Yeah, you're right, it feels like that there was a purpose behind their longevity, all right. Next up on the run, Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Phillips. Did I say that right, Chauncey? I think I said it.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: Round with sports names, you know, I get you nervous, Chauncey Villains. What's the guy's name who plays with the Dodgers.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: Shows?
00:13:20
Speaker 2: Show?
00:13:22
Speaker 1: Hay, I it's show high show hey, show a.
00:13:24
Speaker 2: Guy who plays with the Oklahoma City thunder Shay.
00:13:29
Speaker 1: Oh oh uh uh. It's not gorgeous, it's gilgeous. It is okay. Sorry, sorry. Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Phillips officially entered a not guilty plea yesterday. He appeared in a New York court. He charged in it. He is charged in his scheme to rig mafia back high stakes poker games to build unsuspecting players out of Milliams. He is a Hall of Famer, a five time NBA All Star who I should be able to pronounce. He also won a championship with the Detroit Pistons, and he he was among thirty plus people charged in that huge federal case that went after a gambling operations linked to the NBA that we saw Cash Betel and others just revealed to the world a short few weeks ago.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: All right, well, folk, stay with us on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, another one of Robot's favorite professional athletes is in the news and he is teaching us all a valuable lesson. Also, a couple of clyde Zales pulled up to the White House yesterday and gobble and waddle two turkeys with two maybe not so creative names, but trust us, they get worse stick here. All right, folks, let's continue now on this Tuesday morning run. And my goodness, Schadur Sanders is teaching us all a lesson. Any Shador Sanders the son of Hall of Famer Dion san of course, the coach at Colorado. His son went through all kinds of hell on NFL draft night. He was supposed to go in the top three. He drops to the fifth round. He goes through all this. People pranked him on draft night. He finally makes a team. He's on the fourth string. He moves up to the third and next thing you know, Robes last Sunday he got an opportunity to start because the starter had a concussion, played well and won. You now know what's happened. That starter has been clear to come back and play, but the coach said, nope, Chadour, you're now the starter. What I'm saying is Shador Sanders. After all, this has officially been named the starter of an NFL football team.
00:15:45
Speaker 1: And you know what, didn't even know that was going to be the story today. Just so happened to wear my Colorado buff sweatshirt, my hoodie. But don't tell my Georgia Bulldogs that I'm doing that, only because my daughter goes there.
00:15:56
Speaker 2: She is three rooms away from us, so yes, where that. But this is one of those we all go through. You're going through hell and you just gotta keep going. He just kept going.
00:16:06
Speaker 1: It's such a good lesson and look, who.
00:16:08
Speaker 2: Knows what's gonna happen next. But we have covered him very closely here and it's kind of cool to go through the evolution and see him land in this spot.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he even had a rough start and had a break in at his house, like he's had all sorts of yeah, just everything piled on these last this last year has been tough, so it is so nice. Yes, I love that when you're going through hell, keep on going. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel if you keep working all right. Next up on the run, the official White House tree arrived yesterday by Clydesdale drawn carriage. Malania Trump received it. It's a white fur from a farm in Michigan. It's eighteen and a half feet tall. Gotta be displayed in the Blue Room. And by the way, that tree won a National Christmas Tree Association contest, and that's how the White House Christmas tree has been selected since nineteen sixty six. Didn't know it was a.
00:17:00
Speaker 2: It won the contest, So congrats. We'll see that. Also at the White House today you're going to see two turkeys gobblin wattle, we're told are the two turkeys that have been selected to be pardoned by the President. They're only I think they only use one during the ceremony. But it's happening today at the White House. But the turkeys are fifty two and fifty pounds, respectively, gobble and wattle. They came from a farm in North Carolina and now they're going to end up living out their days on that at NC State. Actually, Department of Poultry science, so they won't be killed. They're going to be spared. You didn't not you. I'm not putting it on you. We but when you heard the name gobblin Wattle.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: I rolled my eyes immediately. Why because it's so not creative?
00:17:49
Speaker 2: Okay, you think that wasn't creative? The two turkeys over the years. You want to just blaze through that. I'm going to start from last year. Peach and blossom before that, Liberty and Bell year before, Chocolate and chip before that, peanut, butter and jelly before that, corn and cob got it before that, butter and bread, He's and carrots, drumstick and wishbone, Tot and tater abe, banana's, cheese and mac, Popcorn and caramel, Cobbler and gobbler, Liberty and piece Apple insider. Okay, you could have.
00:18:23
Speaker 1: What why do you?
00:18:25
Speaker 2: Okay?
00:18:26
Speaker 1: So are they named after? They are chosen to be parties so that they can have a cute little duo name.
00:18:31
Speaker 2: I think there was a maybe a competition this.
00:18:34
Speaker 1: Shear and Costello. I mean, you can just keep going like every duo you can think.
00:18:39
Speaker 2: Of, courage in Carolina, Pecan and pumpkin, May and flour Flyer and fryart. Oh my god, you will leave it there. But I thought you would specifically pull that out because I thought you would absolutely get a kick out of that. All right, before we let you go, folks, where's my my quote of the day? Misplaced? My quote of the day. Honestly, I'm standing here right now, I don't know where my quote of the day is.
00:19:04
Speaker 1: You you plucked it and I use that little turkey.

And this morning, I have a Mac computer in front of me, I have a iPad in front of me, twelve tabs up, can't find a quote?
00:19:33
Speaker 1: Ah? Well, all right, do you want me to pick one? Or are you gonna keep looking? No?
00:19:37
Speaker 2: I am going to take responsibility that I have failed you all today and this one is on me and I just found it. Uh No, that's not it either. I've lost it. I've completely lost and I apologize. I tried to string this along, but I don't have it you all. I apologize I do not have a quote of the day, and with that, I am sorry. This is on me. And with that, thank you for running. But we will not have a quote of the day for the first time, and it's my responsibility. And that's just perfect. I've had a shitty start to this day. In that perfect well, I'm TJ.

Speaker 2: Might not wow? Very interesting?
00:07:38
Speaker 1: Okay? Next up on the run, the Defense Department is investigating and considering a possible court martial for Senator Mark Kelly. The DoD announced it's received serious allegations of misconduct, but did not elaborate on what those allegations are or where they came from.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they said this that a thorough review of these allegations has been an initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court martial proceedings or administrative measures. Now, Kelly, the Democrat from Arizona, was one of six senators who were part of a video in which they reminded members of the military that they can refuse illegal orders. President Trump called their act seditious, pointed out that sedition was punishable by death. He didn't seem like he was going to let this go. He wants he was really pissed.
00:08:28
Speaker 1: Yes, and over the weekend reiterated the fact that those six lawmakers should be in jail. So he did not mince words there. And by the way, Kelly is a retired naval captain, which means he can be recalled to military duty, which means he can face a court martial.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: All right, crazy, We're going to bring you back just so we can punish it exactly.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: And because he is a higher ranking officer, he is eligible to be recalled, whereas the others are not. Woo. All right. Next up on the run, a mysterious manhunt is underway in Virginia.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: Story.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: Yes, and we're going to do a full podcast on this in a bit because it is so interesting and fascinating. And we say mysterious because police have not been clear at all about why they're searching for this missing guy.
00:09:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this missing guy is forty six year old Travis Turner. Now it's making a lot of headlines because in part because he's kind of high profile where he is. This is in the wet south west corner of the state there. But he's a high school football coach. His team just went twelve and oher and made the playoffs. He went missing, what a day or two after their last game, and they have a playoff game coming this weekend. All right. So police saying they were on their way to his home this was five days ago, to investigate a complaint, but then they were told that Turner was not home.
00:09:50
Speaker 1: They didn't elaborate on why they were looking for him, but they made it very clear he's not a suspect, and they were not looking to arrest him. They just wanted to investigate gate a complaint. That's all they've said. They've used search teams, dogs, drones, helicopters. I mean, this has been a serious manhunt. This is in Appalatia, Virginia, like Bristol, Tennessee, that whole area. This is that area of the Virginia, Tennessee area, mountainous, lots of woods.
00:10:19
Speaker 2: But the resources they're putting into it seem odd for somebody who's not high priority. This is a high priority something. They either think he's dangerous or maybe a danger to himself. They have this is a serious man hut.
00:10:30
Speaker 1: And the last thing you just said seems possible because they've said their hope is that they can find him safe. The school district also where he works, said they put an employee on leave, but they would not say who or why. But a lot of people are connecting those dots.
00:10:46
Speaker 2: All right. You want to continue on the run on this Tuesday morning now with Reverend Jesse Jackson. Some good news here. He's out of the hospital at least, and his family says it's proof that prayer works. You remember we told you about this the Civil Rights Icon. He's now twelve days in the hospital. He had spent until yesterday where he got out. He was admitted for observation as he was dealing with super nuclear palsy. That's a neurological disorder that he has. Eighty four year old is now resting at home. And I thought it was a good line from his friends and family from the Push Coalition that he started said, quote, we bear witness to the fact that prayer works. So don't know how he's doing. I guess it's a good sign that he's out of the hospital. But yeah, I hope he's had a tough several years as far as his health goes.
00:11:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, wishing him well. Eighty four is that's impressive that he is doing better and now thankfully at home. All right. Next up on the Run, the oldest living survivor of one of the worst and ugliest racial attacks in this country has passed away. Viola Floyd Fletcher was one hundred and eleven years old. She was just seven during the Tulsa race Massacre of nineteen twenty one, a two day white supremacist slaughter in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa. That's an area that was known at that time as Black Wall Street.
00:12:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, three hundred people were killed. Attackers burned and destroyed homes and businesses, just laid waste to this prominent area. Fletcher was affectionately called Mother Fletcher and was one of only two survivors. She was the oldest at one hundred and eleven. But there's someone else who is also one hundred and eleven, Leslie Bennington Randall is still kicking at one hundred and eleven years old as well. But that's a part of this country's history, ugly, certainly history. But I just wanted to make sure just some people, I'm surprised and not even familiar with the Tulsa race massacre and if you have a moment, to look it up as a part of our history. And she was as well, So it was important to note that we lost, I guess, a big part of our history in living anymore.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: How remarkable though that the two people who survived were still alive to one hundred and eleven. That is so maybe to make sure we all remembered.
00:12:55
Speaker 2: You know, crazy people get back and certainly too involved in.
00:12:59
Speaker 1: The Yeah, you're right, it feels like that there was a purpose behind their longevity, all right. Next up on the run, Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Phillips. Did I say that right, Chauncey? I think I said it.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: Round with sports names, you know, I get you nervous, Chauncey Villains. What's the guy's name who plays with the Dodgers.
00:13:19
Speaker 1: Shows?

00:13:22
Speaker 1: Hay, I it's show high show hey, show a.
00:13:24
Speaker 2: Guy who plays with the Oklahoma City thunder Shay.
00:13:29
Speaker 1: Oh oh uh uh. It's not gorgeous, it's gilgeous. It is okay. Sorry, sorry. Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Phillips officially entered a not guilty plea yesterday. He appeared in a New York court. He charged in it. He is charged in his scheme to rig mafia back high stakes poker games to build unsuspecting players out of Milliams. He is a Hall of Famer, a five time NBA All Star who I should be able to pronounce. He also won a championship with the Detroit Pistons, and he he was among thirty plus people charged in that huge federal case that went after a gambling operations linked to the NBA that we saw Cash Betel and others just revealed to the world a short few weeks ago.
00:14:12
Speaker 2: All right, well, folk, stay with us on this Tuesday morning run. When we come back, another one of Robot's favorite professional athletes is in the news and he is teaching us all a valuable lesson. Also, a couple of clyde Zales pulled up to the White House yesterday and gobble and waddle two turkeys with two maybe not so creative names, but trust us, they get worse stick here. All right, folks, let's continue now on this Tuesday morning run. And my goodness, Schadur Sanders is teaching us all a lesson. Any Shador Sanders the son of Hall of Famer Dion san of course, the coach at Colorado. His son went through all kinds of hell on NFL draft night. He was supposed to go in the top three. He drops to the fifth round. He goes through all this. People pranked him on draft night. He finally makes a team. He's on the fourth string. He moves up to the third and next thing you know, Robes last Sunday he got an opportunity to start because the starter had a concussion, played well and won. You now know what's happened. That starter has been clear to come back and play, but the coach said, nope, Chadour, you're now the starter. What I'm saying is Shador Sanders. After all, this has officially been named the starter of an NFL football team.
00:15:45
Speaker 1: And you know what, didn't even know that was going to be the story today. Just so happened to wear my Colorado buff sweatshirt, my hoodie. But don't tell my Georgia Bulldogs that I'm doing that, only because my daughter goes there.
00:15:56
Speaker 2: She is three rooms away from us, so yes, where that. But this is one of those we all go through. You're going through hell and you just gotta keep going. He just kept going.
00:16:06
Speaker 1: It's such a good lesson and look, who.
00:16:08
Speaker 2: Knows what's gonna happen next. But we have covered him very closely here and it's kind of cool to go through the evolution and see him land in this spot.
00:16:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he even had a rough start and had a break in at his house, like he's had all sorts of yeah, just everything piled on these last this last year has been tough, so it is so nice. Yes, I love that when you're going through hell, keep on going. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel if you keep working all right. Next up on the run, the official White House tree arrived yesterday by Clydesdale drawn carriage. Malania Trump received it. It's a white fur from a farm in Michigan. It's eighteen and a half feet tall. Gotta be displayed in the Blue Room. And by the way, that tree won a National Christmas Tree Association contest, and that's how the White House Christmas tree has been selected since nineteen sixty six. Didn't know it was a.
00:17:00
Speaker 2: It won the contest, So congrats. We'll see that. Also at the White House today you're going to see two turkeys gobblin wattle, we're told are the two turkeys that have been selected to be pardoned by the President. They're only I think they only use one during the ceremony. But it's happening today at the White House. But the turkeys are fifty two and fifty pounds, respectively, gobble and wattle. They came from a farm in North Carolina and now they're going to end up living out their days on that at NC State. Actually, Department of Poultry science, so they won't be killed. They're going to be spared. You didn't not you. I'm not putting it on you. We but when you heard the name gobblin Wattle.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: I rolled my eyes immediately. Why because it's so not creative?
00:17:49
Speaker 2: Okay, you think that wasn't creative? The two turkeys over the years. You want to just blaze through that. I'm going to start from last year.
