Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us for today's
Morning Run. It's hump day. It's Wednesday, November fifth. We
survived election day everyone here in New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes. Survived election day.
But some tell you after the results we saw here
in New York that we might not survive the city.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yes, according to some, according to but yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, that was a history making night. No matter what
you think. This city just elected its first Muslim mayor.
History was made. Politics aside, history was made.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
There you go, and there is a lot of news
to get to on this day after election day. The
shutdown record keeps growing. Democrats, Yeah, they had a big
night last night. Trump, of course, places blame where you
might imagine. There was a fiery plane crash in Louisville,
a bomb threat for a DC bound flight, a huge
vehicle recall, and did you hear that US airspace might
(01:03):
have to close? And Scotis has a big day tackling
Trump's tariffs, and who knew David Beckham's wife dresses him.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Hey, some wives do that for their husbands. We will
explain but yes, we have to begin this run on
this Wednesday with last night. Democrats had a good night period.
In all the major closely watched races, last night, Democrats
one and one handily.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
That's right. From the governor's races in New Jersey and
Virginia to the mayor's race in New York to the
redistricting ballot measure in California, Democrats came out on top.
But first in New York history was made once unknown
Assemblyman zorhanmm Dannie completed his stunning ascension, easily beating Andrew Cuomo.
And I'm gonna have to get better at saying his name.
(01:47):
I always stumble over it, the first name of the
last the Orhan, Zorhan. I always up its hands Orhan,
and then I somehow do it in between, and then
I get all like flustered, and then I can't say.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It'll get easier for you. Mister mayor is going to
be what you call him, and he is going to
be the first Muslim mayor of New York City. Really
an unbelievable story here he was an unknown Now a
thirty four year old assemblyman is now making history in
New York.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You forgot TikTok star.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
TikTok star, who's responsible? Many will tell you for the
biggest turnout we've seen in fifty years. Two million people
showed up to vote in this election. And that's huge,
that's remarkable.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, And just across the river in New Jersey, Mikey
Cheryl beat Jack Chittarelli. She will be the first Democratic
female to become governor of that state.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Now, this was one spot that Republicans thought they had
a shot. Polls show this race was tightening late. Chittarelli
was thought to have a fighting chance going into election day,
but Cheryl pulled off a decisive win here.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, listening to the pundits, I really thought that Chitdarelli,
we both did, had a bill shot at it, but
didn't look like that pretty early on in the night.
And the race for Virginia governor was also called early
in the night, Democrat Abigail Spamberger easily beat her Republican
challenger win some earl sears.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
She was ahead to Spamburger in the polls, but I
this was one of the few last night. As soon
as the polls closed, you saw projections she was going
to win this thing. So she won pretty easily. She's
now the first woman to win the race for governor
in that state. And then out in California, Gavin Newsom won.
Voters there approved Prop fifty. Yes, Newsom's name wasn't on
the ballot, but it was on the ballot. If you
(03:28):
get with mean, Prop fifty clears the way for the
state legislature to redraw their congressional districts. This was an
initiative pushed and pushed hard by Governor Newsom to counter
the Texas redistricting effort.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So everything's now pretty much null and void. They've they've
canceled each other, voted each other out, canceled each.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Other, and we can't keep up with the others. Indiana,
it was North Carolina's.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It matters though others are doing it, but it's very
confusing and it's growing. Unfortunately. President Trump gave a short, sweet,
and pretty unsurprising response to last night's election results. There
was a question mark after the suite, you wrote.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That you didn't you didn't like that, So how we talked?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, short, We had to say short and sweet because yeah,
they're rarely sweet.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Okay, it was short, So okay, I get what you're saying.
I should have gone short and sweet and pretty unsurprising.
You are so correct, man Comma's Matt.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right, they do, and in a social media posts,
here's what the president said. He wrote, Trump wasn't on
the ballot and shut down were the two reasons that
Republicans lost elections tonight, according to pollsters.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
It's like see what you do, see what happens when
you don't have me? Was his response. Love it. We
will continue here on this morning's run. With the shutdown
now officially the longest in US history. We are on
day thirty six of this shutdown, but there is some
degree of ever so slight optimism that maybe, just maybe
there's a way out of this, even by the end
(04:49):
of the week.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
World say what. Senators are reporting an uptick in the
pace and intensity of talks between rank and file senators
as of late, and now that the elections are over,
both sides might have more of an appetite for making
a deal. President Trump is scheduled to meet with Republican
senators this morning, but still no plan meetings between Republican
and Democratic leaders, which we would like to see.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
That drives me the suggestion that they wanted to get
past the election, so they'd still have the talking point
of the shutdown, still using it as leverage, like people
can't eat, and we're going to play this game and
draw it out. Now that this is over, we'll go woo.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
US politics at their worst, at their worst.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
All right. The Transportation secretary meanwhile, gave out one of
the most dire warnings yet about the impact of the
shutdown on air Tribal Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said yesterday
that the government might have to take the extreme step
of closing some parts of US airspace if the shutdown
(05:51):
continues into next week.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I just did the math before year's endbabe. We have
three round trip tickets, so six flights we will be taking.
This should be interesting. So, Duffy said this at a
press conference yesterday, They might have to do this. In fact,
can close parts of US airspace because quote, we just
cannot manage it because we don't have the air traffic controllers.
(06:16):
Duffy said, forty six percent of delays at US airports
one day this week were caused simply because of staffing shortages. Normally,
that's about five percent of delays caused by staffing shortages.
You know, when your crew doesn't make the plane or
they time out. We've all seen that happen. This is
completely something different.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
ROAs. This is they don't want this on their hands.
A shutdown, God forbid, there's an accident and somebody gets
killed in some plane crash, over us not having controllers
and over this shutdown. They do not want. They are
going to get blamed in DC. This is scary.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
People are hungry and unsafe.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh, this is scary. Talking about airspace. For it's one
thing to cancel a flight, and we have delays because
we don't have enough people. We don't have enough people
to cover a section of the country's air Yeah, okay,
that one, all right, Sorry, continuing now. And oh yeah,
you're good news. Okay. I should have looked at it.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I know I was waiting for you to look down
your next line in your script.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You should have stopped me waiting for you, let me
get worked up, and knowing I was going to get
even more worked up. Because folks, all this, all these
issues we're talking about with air travel, throw in a
bomb threat. Yesterday, a ground stop at Reaga National Airport
after authorities say a threat against a specific incoming flight
was called it.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
This is crazy. You'll have to listen to this because
I cannot imagine being on this flight. Here's the flight,
United Airlines, flight number five twelve, traveling from Houston to DC.
Eighty nine passengers and six crew members on board. Here
is what air traffic control audio said to the plane crew.
I'm sorry to have to do this to you. We've
got to turn you again. We have an unconfirmed bomb
(08:08):
report for your flight, and we've got to get you
away from the airport. We don't want you guys to
blow us up.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Can you imagine being the crew hearing that again. The
passengers aren't aware of all this as it's going on,
but another air traffic control audio message saying, we have
an unconfirmed bomb report. I mean I can confirm someone called.
Someone called and said there was a bomb on five twelve.
(08:35):
They said if it landed, it would explode. Well it landed,
My goodness, gracious. They are still trying to figure out
where this threat came from. No arrest, anything like that maye.
But the flight was stopped on the rung way away
from the terminal. Passengers were removed safely.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
No bomb found, but how scary for the flight crew.
The only ones presumably who knew on board the plane
that if they landed they could explode.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That that was chilling.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Audio was actually found hearing that that's just sick. Actually
all right. Next up on the run. Seven people died
and eleven others were injured in a fiery plane crash
that happened yesterday at the Louisville Airport. The crash happened
as the UPS cargo plane was taking off from Muhammad
Ali International Airport.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, the plane slightly gets off the ground during takeoff
before crashing down and exploding in a massive fireball. And
this was caught on camera. The video is out there.
But this was a massive explosion. I mean, it was
Hollywood esque type stuff that you see. And of the
seven people that were killed, four of them were not
(09:43):
on that aircraft. But that was an incredibly don't know
what happened there, but it was barely getting off the
ground when right back down. Well, folks, stay with us
here on this Wednesday morning when we come back, is
a very big day at the Supreme Court that could
shape the future of the US and the world economy. Also,
a massive car recall, and folks are being told don't
(10:04):
part too close to the building. And for the guys
out there whose wives dress them, You're not alone. David
Beckham's wife dresses him too.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Welcome back everyone to this Wednesday morning run. And next
up on the run, it's a big day at the
Supreme Court today. At ten am Eastern time, the nine
Justices will begin to hear oral arguments on President Trump's
Liberation Day tariffs. This is the most significant case affecting
the US and global economy in years, and it's in
(10:42):
the hands of these nine justices. Tens of billions of
dollars in revenue we've already taken in for this country
are at stake, as well as potentially trillions more than
the Trump administration hopes to secure.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Now the other major issue at hand, presidential power. What
are the limits? What is the reach? Court of course,
has a six to three conservative majority, is repeatedly cited
with Trump since he took office.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
All right, Next up on the run, a massive Chrysler
recall to tell you about. After the company says it's
received nineteen reports of fires linked to its vehicle batteries.
The company is recalling more than three hundred and twenty
thousand jeep wranglers and Grand Cherokees, because yeah, the plug
in hybrid's batteries could fail, potentially causing a fire while
(11:27):
the vehicle is parked or.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
In motion, so you can't do anything with it safely.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is instructing owners
of the recalled vehicles to park their cars outside and
away from structures.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
No garage parking.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Okay, give me my money back. I'm you sold me
a threat.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Why do you sleep at night?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You're being told by the government. Don't park close to anything,
just at a big empty lot if you can. Oh
my god. The agency's also telling owners to not charge
the vehicles until the fix for the issue is available.
So how can you drive the thing?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Maybe it's a hybrid, so they have gas options to
you just can't use the electric function of it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But you drive to work and park way out. I
guess right, that's the only.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Way if it can if it can explode or catch
on fire while it's in motion, how are you driving
the vehicle and feeling safe?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh ye, you make a good point. Okay, right now, Chrysler,
this is the best part of the story. What's the fix?
It is currently under development, but they want us to
know it's imminent.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yes, I put that in quotes because that was the
word they use, that the fix is under development and imminent. Okay.
The recalled vehicles include Jeep Wrangle, Sorry, Jeep Wrangler's model
years twenty twenty through twenty twenty five, and yeah, and
Jeep Brand Cherokees WHOA twenty twenty two through twenty twenty six, all.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The new stuff. These are popular, their most popular models probably,
Oh my goodness, all right, final leg of the run
here now, Sir David Beckham. That's what we call them
from now on. King Charles Knight at Beckham yesterday, excuse me,
Sir Beckham yesterday at a ceremony at Windsor Castle for
his services to sport and charity. It was an honor
fourteen years in the making.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I didn't realize this. He was nominated for knighthood
back in twenty eleven, after Queen Elizabeth appointed him an
Officer of the Order of the British Empire. In two
thousand and three. Beckham told reporters this quote, I've been
very obviously lucky in my career to have won what
I've won and done what I've done, but to receive
an honor like this of a night is beyond everything
(13:32):
that I ever thought that I would receive. A young
boy from the East End of London being honored by
his Majesty, the King, the most important and most respected
institution in the world that could be up for debate.
It's quite a moment.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
What's the delay? Why was there a delay of all
this time? Not sure he was nominated in twenty eleven because,
to be honest, when I heard he was just knighted
like he hasn't been already.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, I'm not sure why the delay, but hey, better
late than ever.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Hi well by his side with the event, his parents
and his wife, Victoria, who will now be referred to
as Lady Beckham. I thought we already were supposed to
call her.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I mean, she's push spy, so it fits.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Lady Beckham pay tribute to Sir David by making him
the first ever tailored menswear piece from her fashion label
That's Cool, charcoal gray three piece so British Morning Suit
crafted from British wool, inspired by King Charles. I love that. Yes,
I didn't see the suits.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It's really nice, Sir David said, yes, and it does
look very royal. I guess it's a good way to
put it. The King Charles even commented on how much
he loved the suit and he said it was inspired
by you, King Charles. But you know, look Beckham what
he did in terms of service to sport and charity.
He has done a lot. He actually represented England in
one hundred and fifteen International Games one League titles in
(14:51):
four different countries. He's a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador. He has
his own charity that helps young folks, young children actually
dangerous such as the Ebola crisis. So yeah, he has
done a lot and continues to do a lot with
the platform that he has.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
And you know what, the of all he's done and
I've admired and watched is a sport and everything he's done.
The biggest compliment I could give him, And the thing
I respected him most for Queen Elizabeth's funeral when the
q was fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen hours, he stood in
that line with every other British citizen to honor her.
(15:30):
You know, he could have gotten, of course he could,
of course, but to see him do that I applauded
and that was the greatest respect I've ever had for
him and anything he's done.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You remember that, so like I had forgotten about it
until you just said that. And I remember watching him
when we were over there were like, look at David Beckham,
just waiting in line like everybody else. He did not
cash in his privilege, which I thought was really cool.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Quote of the day. This was inspired by you because
this sounds like something that you would write down and
keep close to you. And it also I was inspired
to use this quote because of a show we watched
last night that we actually are gonna have a podcast
on later. Okay, all right, here's the quote. Again. It's
a Gandhi inspired week, So these are all quotes from Gandhi.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, Gandhi and I are on the same wavelengths, So yes,
I could see this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
A no, uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater
than a yes merely uttered to please or what is worse?
To avoid trouble?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Preach brother, Oh my god, yes, yes, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And I have to remind myself of this because I
do think that and I think a lot of women
are like this. We're people pleasers. No, it's okay to
say no and actually to it. It's kind to say no,
sometimes not sometimes most of the time, if you're being honest.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
To be clear is being kind. Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Agree, And I've never heard this from Gandhi and I
obviously we've heard the sentiment before, but I loved how
he put it. A no, uttered from deepest conviction is
better and greater than a yes merely uttered to please
or what is worse to avoid trouble. I love that.
Thank you, Gandhi, and with that everyone, thank you for
listening to this Wednesday edition of Morning Run.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes to be running
with you all soon.
