Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everyone, it is Tuesday, March tenth. I'm Amy
Robot and I'm.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
TJ Holmes, and everybody be kind to you. A TSA agent,
you know what, we have so much going on roades,
it's almost like we forget, Oh yeah, we're in a
shutdown because it's a partial one and it's not as widespread,
but robes just think we're up to a month we've
been in this partial shutdown.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Wow, the TC agents ain't get paid February fourteenth, Valentine's Day. Yes,
here's your gift. No paycheck dot dot dot dot dot
tvd on when your next one will be coming. And yeah,
people are having to call out, they're having to find
other work, they're having to pay their bills. How many
people can go a month without a paycheck. I would
say most people cannot.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
And they have been doing it and this is a
second time they're doing it. And we just wanted to
start roades because with this because rogue we have seen
you've seen the lines. You've seen the lines and some
airports that go out into the parking lot three.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's crazy, right, five hours long.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
And so much of the reporting. Is my goodness, those
poor travelers, Oh, my goodness, what they're going through, what
you're experiencing. Let's take a beat. The TSA workers got
a partial paycheck a couple of weeks ago this year.
This week, they're missing a full one robes. They're calling
out sick because they don't they got to go make
money somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, and they're political football's right now. They are chess
pieces and they have no control over what's happening. And
the people who do don't look like they have any
interest in finding a solution.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
So be kind, that's all. We don't have a trip
plan for a little while.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Got a couple well we are actually a couple of
weeks and we're going to the one of the world's
busiest airports. So I can't wait for that.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But you will be kind to your TSA agents. We
know the lines are getting long, we know you're frustrated,
but man, they are going through it right now. So
we can start with that. Be kind on this morning run,
not just to your TSA agents, how about be kind
to everybody. Let's start with that. But yes, on the
run this morning, good morning to you. Will were making
stops in Columbus, Ohio, the upper east side of Manhattan,
Los Angeles, Fort Durrau, Florida, and Glendale, Kentucky. But we

(02:08):
do begin rooms with an update I guess we got
from President Trump yesterday. We saw him live and we
saw him taking questions.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, that's right. He took reporters questions yesterday. This was
his first press conference, live press conference since the war began,
and he made a number of headline grabbing and in
some moments, head scratching updates about the war. Yeah, we
were exchanging glances multiple times at one another as we
were listening to our president.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
We were exchanging glances. This is not made up, folks.
We quite literally stopped and had to rewind to go.
Did he just say that? It happened at least twice
and maybe three times while we were watching. But a right.
Some of the things he said. He says, one, when
is this thing going to be over? A lot of
people asking that question. He said the war will be
over soon, but gave no details about a timeline of

(02:56):
what soon means or what over actually mean.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's right. He also said he is disappointed in Iran's
choice of its new Supreme leader, but he definitely stopped
short of saying whether mosh Taba Haamane has a target
on his back. He said it would be inappropriate for
him to comment on that.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
And of course you knew he was going to be
asked about that girl school that was hit by a
missile killing at Lisa one hundred and fifty. This was
in the early days of this war starting. While a
lot of reporting is showing that it was possibly an
American missile that hit that girl school, the President initially
suggested Ropes even in the press conference yesterday, that it
could have been Iran that struck the school. And I

(03:35):
didn't realize American Tomahawk missiles were.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
In Iranian possession.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
It sounds like they're being sold at flea markets all
over the world.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
It sounds like every country has at least one Momahawk. That's,
according to the President, could have been anybody. He did
later concede that the matter was in fact under investigation.
I think that's the first time we heard him even
acknowledge that, and that he would accept whatever the investigation determined.
Of note, also, the President said multiple times that in
terms of why we went to war, he said Iran

(04:04):
was going to take over the Middle East within weeks.
I believe he made it sound urgent.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
This was one of our rewind moments, and then we
didn't have to because he said it multiple times.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
That is true, all right. President Trump also saved his
toughest talk for truth social last night where he did
issue a warning to Iran.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
And this was the warning. He said, if Iran does
anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait
of Horror Moves, they will be hit by the United
States of America twenty times harder than they have been
hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable
targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to
ever be built back as a nation again. Death, fire

(04:48):
and fury will rain upon them. But I hope and
pray that it does not happen. This is a gift
from the United States of America to China and all
those nations that heavily use the Horror Moves straight. Hopefully
it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
There's so much to unpack there, I don't even know
where to start. Let's just I mean, let's just be
what it is. Just everyone take away whatever you need
from that, all right. Next up on the Run, the
Pentagon has identified the seventh American service member who was
killed during the war with Iran. Sergeant Benjamin Pennington was
killed in an attack in Saudi Arabia. Happened on March first.

(05:25):
He was just twenty six years old. He hailed from Glendale, Kentucky.
Just it's so sad, and just a reminder as we
hear all this rhetoric and all this blustering and all this,
the people are dying and it's and it's tragic, and
it's sad, and it's important to remember, right.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I want to continue here on the run. This next
life's going to bring us back here to New York,
where two men are facing federal charges for what police
say was an ISIS inspired act of terrorism outside the
residence of New York City Mayor Zorhanmundani this week.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Ibrahim Kyumi and Emir Lot were arrested after police say
they threw improvised explosive devices over the weekend. And these
were young guys. Police say that nineteen and eighteen year
old suspects admitted to being inspired by US ISIS and
wanting to pull off an attack bigger than the Boston

(06:19):
Marathon attack. It's interesting they would have even admitted any
of that. But it's just it's scary to think these
young kids, because that's what they are, are willing to
throw their entire lives away.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Say they watched ices videos on their phones. That is
disturbing in an incredible something that far away can have
an impact here on a kid because of technology. That's incredible.
Continue on the run here now, let's head out to
the other coats. Head to LA where police have charged
a woman who fired multiple shots at Rihanna's Beverly Hill
home on Sunday. She's been charged now with attempted murder.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Bail has been set for thirty five year old Evanna
Lissett Ortiz for more than ten million dollars or teases
from Florida and apparently has several I watched some of
them questionable posts on social media, disparaging even threatening Rihanna
for the last several months.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I didn't see you said you watched the video that
I actually did not watch them. I'm less see the
stills of them, and I haven't heard the audio. It's
weird to say she didn't look deranged or I don't
know if somebody's supposed to look She looked like any
other kid doing a video on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
Her ex husband said, she looks I had to say normal.
That's a terrible word, but she looks normal. She sounds normally.
She's like But then when you sit down and listen
to her, you realize she has a problem. She lost
custody of her child, she has domestic assault charges, She's
got a whole list of issues attached to her.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I police do say that Rihanna was home when Ortis
fired at least ten rounds from an AR fifteen style
gun from her white tesla. No one was injured in
the attack. You added that detail. We thought it was
just I don't know, Southern Cali. If you're out there,
you see tesla's all over the place, and this woman
is shooting up a home and they said she fired
from a tesla.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, it's it's a weird thing to think about, this
white tesla. That just seems so innocuous, like, Okay, you're
conscious about the environment, and yet you have an AR
fifteen style rifle that you are shooting indiscriminately. A couple
other homes actually had bullet holes just because she was
firing so randomly. It's scary and it's amazing no one
got hurt.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh White, Tesla, I'll stay with us here on this
Tuesday morning Ryn. When we come back. Ohio State University
needs a new president. The other just resigned and folks
are still trying to understand exactly why. Also, Jet Blue
is back in the air today after the entire fleet
was grounded yesterday. And what does the NBA commissioner have

(08:49):
against strippers? Okay, we're back now, but before we came back,
I just turned to Ropes and I say, it's Tuesday, right,
I mean Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Sometimes it's hard. Tuesdays are tough.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Because I'm confused already. It's just a second day of
the it happens to all of us, all right, Well,
continuing on this Tuesday morning round, the president of Ohio
State University, or the Ohio State University as they like
to be called, Well, your president has just resigned over
what they're describing as an inappropriate relationship. But there's more

(09:27):
to it than that.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, and there's definitely going to be more to come
on this story. Here's what we know. Sixty six year
old Ted Carter had only been on the job for
the past two years when the Board of trustees says
an unnamed source came to them and told them about
a relationship. They say, once the board confronted Carter, he
copped to it and offered to resign and they accept it.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Okay, so inappropriate relationship. Your mind immediately goes to one place,
a romantic relationship, but that hasn't necessarily been confirmed. The
universities statement only says Carter had an inappropriate relationship with
someone seeking state resources to support her personal business.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Okay, yeah, that's the official statement, and then Ohio State
spokesman went on to say that the university is investigating
a particular business filing registered to a podcast host whose
name is Chris amp Flatchos. She hosts the call Out podcast.
It focuses on veterans issues, and Carter, we know, has
been on the podcast at least twice.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Okay, you keep it up with all this, So it's possible,
than am I hearing this? Right? Is possible he just
had a personal or friendship and started using his position
to give resources to someone, So a conflict kind of
a thing.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
It's possible that that is all it is. We don't
know if there is more. I looked up. He's been
married for more than forty years, so no one is
suggesting right now that there was anything more than an
inappropriate business friendship relationship.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
All right, And Carter is a former vice admiral and
vice admiral. Did I call him a vice admirable? He
was a former vice admiral and Navy flight officer. He's
been making about one point two million a year as
contract was set to run through twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
All right, Next up on the run, Jet Blue will
be flying again today after the FAA grounded the airline
and its entire fleet yesterday.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
And they asked the FAA to do it. This is
according to the FAA. Jet Blue call them, said we
got a problem and said please stop our planes like
issue this ground stop now. The problem was described as
robes a quote brief system.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Outage, scary, scary, scary, very scary. Three words.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I often wonder, Okay, if I'm in the air and
you have a brief system outage, what happens to my plane?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, it doesn't sound good. Or your ability to figure
out where other planes are where my plane is. I
don't even know what that means what went out? What
couldn't they see went out?

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Just the headlights stopped working.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I no, I didn't know this still went out. I
don't know what actually what that means.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
This was less than an hour for the ground stop
though it didn't last long, and but it did cause delay,
not a lot of cancelations, but widespread delays for everybody.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, those are the moments where you just like, go ahead,
delay as long as you want, just want to make
sure you're all back up online.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
You know what. A lot of flyers don't say that,
Let's just go.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Nope, nope, nope, take all the time you need to
make sure I get to where I want to go
safely and in one piece.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
When you're sitting on the plane, they said, yeah, we're
just checking out a maintenance issue. Oh, you just got
some paperwork to finish. Oh, I hate it.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's the worst all right.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Final leg of our run here. The NBA Commissioner has
canceled a planned promotional event for the Atlanta Hawks. It
was supposed to happen this weekend. Why did he cancel it? Robes,
What does Adam Silver have against strip us strippers? It
was a big event, It was called Magic.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Monday, Magic City Monday.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
If you don't know, folks, Magic City is a very
very famous strip club in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
You have been telling me about this and I and look,
I lived in Atlanta, granted I was in my teen years,
but I'd never heard of this place before in my life.
But apparently I've been living under a rock.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
You've lived under a rock that did not include any
rap music from the South thirty years.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
That's fairly true.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
If you listen to any that we've been rapping as
we've been, like I'm a rapper, they have been rapping
about this place. But it is in downtown Atlanta and
it has been there forever. Musicians all kinds of artists
have come through this place and it is I know
it sounds crazy, but it is absolutely an Atlanta institution
and a part of the fabric of that city, the community,

(13:43):
the black culture. Say what you want about strip clubs
and objectification of women, but it is what it is there.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
So you go there for the music and the food,
you know what.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Famously, one NBA player doing COVID got in trouble because
he got to go out to a memorial service and
he then got busted at Magic City. He said, he
only stopped to pick up wings.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay, you know that. I was saying that with my tongue.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's a real thing. It happens, Okay, it really happens.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Okay, the food is so good. There has nothing to
do with the entertainment.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
I have never eaten a strip club, but I hear
the wings are great.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
The idea of eating in a strip club, why is
that gross to me? But it is?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
It is body oil and olive oil should not be
in the same environment.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Wow, that was I'm gonna remember that line. That was good.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's gonna be our quote of the day in a
couple of weeks. But look, Adams, they've now stepped in.
It was supposed to be a big promotional event. The
Atlanta Hawks were working with the strip club to do it.
They weren't going to have same.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Have a good idea for anybody because it is a part,
it's unique, it's local. You're never gonna make that make
sense to most women probably in the room.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Okay, can you help me make sense of Then the
women who do strip they get they're making a decision
to do so you can make all kinds of discussion
and all kinds of reasons where they were put into
this and whatnot. But we have and some were arguing
this balance of objectifying women and where does a woman
get the choice to be what she wants to be,

(15:11):
dance how she wants to dance, and make how much
money she wants to make.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
That's fine, and I don't don't. I don't think anyone would.
This is not to tell someone, yes, an exotic dancer,
that they shouldn't do what they do. Many of them
love what they do. It's considered an art form, but.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
It's still if they are celebrating it, why should they
not be celebrated? Oh my god, is what the Atlanta
Hawks are trying to do. Anyway, they tried to do
this promotion. It's been talked about how that work out
for them. Another Well, it was going fine until a
guy who is not from the US, who doesn't understand
the Atlanta culture criticized it. A man yes, wow, And
it got a lot of attention. And now Adam Silver

(15:48):
stepped in and said, while we appreciate the team's perspective
and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant
concerns from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners,
and employees. I believe canceling this promotion is the right.
This is for the broader NBA community. That's fine. Yes,
a lot of kids go to those games. You have
to consider that. And even though you're not going to
have stripping going on during the game, that part family atmosphere.

(16:13):
I understand promoting a strip club, but I also understand
the connectivity between the Atlanta Hawks, the city of Atlanta,
and that strip club and frankly hip hop culture. There
is a relationship there that I'm not as quick to
just be dismissive of. They shouldn't have done it.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Hey, it's good to hear your perspective. I've just I've
heard you talk about this place. So I saw this
headline and I thought, you know what if I hadn't
heard you talk about it, and I didn't know you
and love you, I would I would be rolling my eyes.
I kind of still am rolling my eyes a little bit.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
But can you clear up when you say you heard
me talk about it, you make it sound like I
was recalling stories of my time.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
That is, you just know of it and you lived
right near it. Did you not know I.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Had to pass it every single day going to work
or seen it.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Okay, that's what you told me on my right had
to all.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
The way in sometimes and I could throw a rock
out the window and hit the building every single day.
But anyway they've counsel. Then you'll see more about that,
all right. Quote of the day. I'll get back to that.
Something we like for you to consider robe. I want
to look. This one's a little heavier, but man, it
is going to work, is going to hit today, and
I quote, take this with you today, folks. We don't
need the promise of a paycheck. We need a paycheck

(17:24):
that is from a TSA rep. And you know what
it actually means and what she's saying there. But it
made me think about so many other things and just
how often we keep talking. You can't make somebody feel
better by talking about what you're going to do, what
you're going to do for them, what you do promise them.
Sometimes you don't know. We don't need a paycheck. We

(17:47):
need the problem. We don't need the promise of a paycheck.
You have to deliver. What's the line? The road to
hell is paid for good. It's that mindset. She put
me in, that mindset, like wow, y'all are being just
promised this, and oh, we don't need the promises. Sometimes
folks just don't need your word of what you're going
to do. You need to do it.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
And also given the fact that this is now the
second time these workers have been put in this position,
so the distrust is even more extensive at that point,
because you know, what do they say I hear going
back to all these quotes, you know, basically, fool me
wants shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

(18:25):
And that's kind of what I'm hearing from them.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
In worlds it's March now they have gone. I mean,
we do the math. They have gone the majority of
the past five six months, like at least half of
it without getting paid.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Not knowing when they're getting paid next.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
They're not getting paid, so folks certainly keep them in mind,
but it was just a broader thought as well, stop
promising everybody what you're going to do for them and
just do it. Do it, because quote, I love that.
We don't need the promise of a paycheck. We need
a paychecking. With that, folks, we always appreciate you spend
some time running with us. I'm TJ howns.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
And I'm Amy Robock. We will talk kissing
