Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone. It is Tuesday, September twenty third.
00:00:10
Speaker 2: 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.
00:00:25
Speaker 1: I am intrigued too, And there has been a plea by one of the biggest stars of the movie to ignore the reviews this.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: 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.
00:00:54
Speaker 1: 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.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: 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.
00:01:16
Speaker 1: Amazing.
00:01:16
Speaker 2: 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.
00:01:33
Speaker 1: It is such an incredible example to set for people who do have billions to spare.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: 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.
00:01:49
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, love it yet, we.
00:01:51
Speaker 2: 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.
00:01:59
Speaker 1: 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.
00:02:15
Speaker 2: 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.
00:02:23
Speaker 1: And of course we have to be somewhere in the middle of the mess.
00:02:26
Speaker 2: 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 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.
00:03:02
Speaker 1: 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, fight like hell not to take it.
00:03:26
Speaker 2: 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 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.
00:04:04
Speaker 1: 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.
00:04:21
Speaker 2: 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.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: The only thing we can take.
00:04:38
Speaker 2: 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 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.
00:05:19
Speaker 1: 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 with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expecting mothers.
00:05:48
Speaker 2: 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 you see it just a drop off.
00:06:11
Speaker 1: 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 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.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: 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.
00:06:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what we do, you know, when it's raining, when it's snowing, all of that.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: 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, 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.
00:07:36
Speaker 1: 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.
00:08:00
Speaker 2: 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 reads for me? I mean that almost sounds reasonable.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: I do that does make sense to me?
00:08:26
Speaker 2: 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.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: 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 Kimmel's ratings that were the problem. Is that a joke?
00:09:06
Speaker 2: 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.
00:09:23
Speaker 1: Thirty eight cities. Thirty eight markets will not be able to see Jimmy Kimmel.
00:09:28
Speaker 2: 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 four year old Annibal Hernandez Santana that criticized the Trump administration and a calendar reminder to quote, do the next scary thing.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: 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 within a school zone, discharging a firearm within a school zone, and interfering with a radio communication station.
00:10:28
Speaker 2: 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 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.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: 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 sentencing memo arguing that Diddy should only get fourteen months in jail.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: 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.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: Month or so, home in time for Christmas.
00:11:49
Speaker 2: 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.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: 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 structural damage was reported.
00:12:27
Speaker 2: 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.
00:12:42
Speaker 1: 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.
00:13:00
Speaker 2: 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 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. She has donated seventy million dollars to the United Negro College Fund. That represents one of her largest single donations.
00:13:56
Speaker 1: 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.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: 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 of nineteen billion dollars.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Awesome.
00:14:33
Speaker 2: I just god, that feels good to be that, to be blessings just don't just given even she's changing like generations.
00:14:39
Speaker 1: That's so cool.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: She is shifting generations with this money. Oh. I love what she's doing, so cools her.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: 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.
00:14:52
Speaker 2: And now here we got.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: 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.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: 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.
00:15:29
Speaker 1: 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.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: 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.
00:15:51
Speaker 1: 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.
00:16:03
Speaker 2: 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 I thought he did it in a classy, classy way.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: 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 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.
00:17:01
Speaker 2: 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, 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.
00:17:37
Speaker 1: 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 I walk away going huh, and I don't really like that.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: We're walking into this one today.
00:18:05
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite movies have like a seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes. That's just the way it is.
00:18:10
Speaker 2: 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 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. 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.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: 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 confidence and courage.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: 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?
00:19:43
Speaker 1: 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, 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.
00:20:17
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We're about to go get to action.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone. It is Tuesday, September twenty third.

Speaker 1: It is such an incredible example to set for people who do have billions to spare.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: 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.
00:01:49
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, love it yet, we.

Speaker 2: 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.
00:06:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what we do, you know, when it's raining, when it's snowing, all of that.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: 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, 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.
00:07:36
Speaker 1: 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.
00:08:00
Speaker 2: 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 reads for me? I mean that almost sounds reasonable.
00:08:24
Speaker 1: I do that does make sense to me?
00:08:26
Speaker 2: 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.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: 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 Kimmel's ratings that were the problem. Is that a joke?
00:09:06
Speaker 2: 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.
00:09:23
Speaker 1: Thirty eight cities. Thirty eight markets will not be able to see Jimmy Kimmel.
00:09:28
Speaker 2: 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 four year old Annibal Hernandez Santana that criticized the Trump administration and a calendar reminder to quote, do the next scary thing.
00:10:00
Speaker 1: 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 within a school zone, discharging a firearm within a school zone, and interfering with a radio communication station.
00:10:28
Speaker 2: 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 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.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: 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 sentencing memo arguing that Diddy should only get fourteen months in jail.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: 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.
00:11:46
Speaker 1: Month or so, home in time for Christmas.
00:11:49
Speaker 2: 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.
00:12:05
Speaker 1: 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 structural damage was reported.
00:12:27
Speaker 2: 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.
00:12:42
Speaker 1: 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.
00:13:00
Speaker 2: 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 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. She has donated seventy million dollars to the United Negro College Fund. That represents one of her largest single donations.
00:13:56
Speaker 1: 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.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: 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 of nineteen billion dollars.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Awesome.
00:14:33
Speaker 2: I just god, that feels good to be that, to be blessings just don't just given even she's changing like generations.
00:14:39
Speaker 1: That's so cool.
00:14:40
Speaker 2: She is shifting generations with this money. Oh. I love what she's doing, so cools her.
00:14:45
Speaker 1: 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.
00:14:52
Speaker 2: And now here we got.
00:14:55
Speaker 1: 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.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: 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.
00:15:29
Speaker 1: 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.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: 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.
00:15:51
Speaker 1: 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.
00:16:03
Speaker 2: 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 I thought he did it in a classy, classy way.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: 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 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.
00:17:01
Speaker 2: 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, 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.
00:17:37
Speaker 1: 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 I walk away going huh, and I don't really like that.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: We're walking into this one today.
00:18:05
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite movies have like a seven percent on Rotten Tomatoes. That's just the way it is.
00:18:10
Speaker 2: 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 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. 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.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: 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 confidence and courage.
00:19:25
Speaker 2: 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?
00:19:43
Speaker 1: 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, 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.
00:20:17
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We're about to go get to action.
