Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Friday, November seventh.
I'm Amy Robot.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Wow, it's a good way to She forgot to introduce yourself.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I forgot that I'm a woman who needs no introduction.
Oh wow, No, I forgot to introduce myself.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, Well, hey the folks, I'm TJ and it's you
have to give us a little bit of a break.
Full disclosure, we are actually recording this morning much earlier
than normal, and we're recording from our home studio because Robes.
For whatever reason, we just decided to go roll the
dice day one of the cutback on flights. And where
are we headed?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Miami, Warmer Waters.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I only meant what airport, but go ahead, you can
give out the travel plans. But yeah, we're gonna be
flying here in a short time from one of the
airports that the government now says is going to be
seeing reductions in flights because of the shutdown. And we
have a lot to get to this morning, but we
do want to actually start there on this Friday with
(01:02):
what is now day thirty eight robes of this shutdown.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's right, and we're not sure if it's hope, but
Republicans are possibly going to try a new tactic today.
Instead of voting on the same temporary short term measure
that Democrats have voted down fourteen times before, Republicans are
expected to now offer up a bill that would reopen
the government keep it funded through January, giving them time
(01:26):
to negotiate a longer term deal. In addition, it would
also fund food aid programs and veterans programs for a year.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I know what you're thinking. Sounds reasonable enough. Surely they'll
go for this. Well, I can tell you already the
Democrats have signaled that they won't be voting for this.
Do not get your hopes up, Republicans just hoping to
pick up a few Democrats. There are a lot of
conversations going on with centrist Republicans and Democrats you've been
hearing about, but it doesn't look like this is going
to be the thing that makes the difference. However, they
(01:55):
say they are at least robes going to stay and
work through the weekend. Finally, Yeah, that's new. Meanwhile, thousands
of flights have been canceled today, and they were canceled
before the day even started. The FAA has now directed
airlines to start cutting flights in hopes of reducing the
strain caused by a shortage of air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced earlier this week that they
would have to start reducing air traffic on Friday, that's today,
if the shutdown continued. It has, so today is Friday,
and the major airlines got the memo. United American Delta
have canceled up to two hundred flights each today alone.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Not ours as of this recording just yet. But the
FAA gave the airline this breakdown for how to handle
the coming day. So all the airlines are supposed to
do this first supposed to cut their flight schedules by
at least four percent today, five percent by tomorrow, six
percent by Sunday, and then next week all airlines are
(02:55):
supposed to reduce their flights by ten percent. Now, air
traffic controllers, as you know, are required to work without
pay during the shutdown. It was just yesterday Sean Duffy
said they got their second full paycheck zero dollars, and
some people were putting them out where it said zero
on their check stuffs.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
All right, next up on the run, the Trump administration
says there's no money.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A judge says, go find it. You have until the
end of the day.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Today, the Trump administration has been ordered to fully fund
the SNAP food assistance program for the month of November.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Ye had a SNAP program, which provides food assistance to
forty two million Americans, ran out of money for the
month of November because of the shutdown. But last week
a judge ordered that the administration tap into a contingency
fund to fund SNAP. However, there wasn't enough money in
that contingency fund to fully fund the SNAP program.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So that same judge has now come back and told
the administration to fully fund SNAP and gave them of
the deadline today to make it happen. So the administration
is appealing. We'll see how that all works out with
the timeline.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I don't know if they're looking at couch cushions or what,
but the money is dry. But they say if they
take it out of this other fund, it's going to
hurt another program. But we'll see why they're appealing. They're
not gonna put that money in there, we assume. Continuing
on the run here now, President Trump held a pretty
big deal news conference yesterday announcing a deal with two
pharmaceutical companies to lower the cost of those popular GLP ones,
(04:26):
those weight loss drugs.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Under the deal, as soon as mid next year, GLP
one drugs will GOVY and zep bound out of pocket costs,
which can now cost well over one thousand dollars a month,
will drastically drop. Trump announcing both Medicare and Medicaid will
quote finally cover the cost of weight loss drugs from
millions of patients suffering from obesity. So Medicare is going
to cover the drugs for a fifty dollars copey and
(04:50):
people on Medicaid typically don't have a Copey and.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The government's discount platform for buying prescription drugs without insurance.
Trump rx dot com. We'll offer the drugs starting it
three hundred and fifty dollars a month and then dropped
two hundred and fifty dollars within the next couple of years.
Both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. The two companies have
voluntarily agreed to reduce the prices in exchange, however, for
relief from pharmaceutical tariffs for the next three years.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
All right, Next up on the run.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Eighty five year old congresswoman and the first and only
female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has announced she
will not seek reelection next year. Pelosi has spent nearly
forty years representing the San Francisco Bay Area as one
of the most powerful Democratic lawmakers in Congress.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Grady announcement in a video where she told her constituents
that this would be her final year of service. She said,
my message to the city I love is this, San Francisco,
know your power. We have made history, we have made progress.
We've always led the way, and now we must continue
to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy
and fighting for the American ideals we hold. Dear, she
(05:56):
is a people have their opinions about her from political stampoint.
This is damn impressive, the career she has put together
and what she's done, the power she gained, the influence
she gained, It's an impressive career.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, she has paved the way for so many other
women specifically who have come, but men too. She has
paved a very, very incredible road for so many. Now.
She was elected to the House in nineteen eighty seven,
became Speaker twenty years later in two thousand and seven.
She will end her final term in early twenty twenty seven.
(06:27):
We know she's been a long adversary to President Trump,
so it's no surprise when he had sharp words about
the news of her retirement. This is pretty remarkable. This
is what President Trump had to say about Pelosi.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I think she did the.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Country a great service by retiring. I think she was
a tremendous liability for the country. I thought she was
an evil woman who did a poor job, who costed
the country a lot in damages and in reputation.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I thought she was terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, maybe it is his opinion, Maybe it is just
give her the day.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
It is right well, and names have already begun, so
circuling as to who may run for her seat, including
her fifty nine year old daughter, Christine Pelosi. She's big
in the Democratic politics in California, and she certainly has
a name.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Uh yeah, that name is shoe In probably in that district.
I continue to go on the run here. Now, let's
get to Louisville, where the death toll has risen again
from that fiery ups cargo plane crash. Authorities now say
a total of Thirteen people are confirmed dead when that
plane went down just as it was trying to take
off from Muhammad Ali International Airport on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The thirteenth victim had been taken to the hospital but
succumbed to their wounds. Officials said yesterday that nine people
are still unaccounted for.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
What a tragedy.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I continuing on the run here now to another tragedy
as shocking one for the NFL community. Dallas Cowboys defensive
lineman Marshawn Neelan died yesterday. He was just twenty four years.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Old, and police confirmed he died by suicide. This all
happened after police say he led them on a high
speed chase after they tried to pull him over for
a traffic violation. Neeland eventually crashed his car and then
fled on foot. As police searched for him, they say
they received information that Nland had expressed suicidal ideations.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, he was found a short time later. Neiland was
in his second year of his NFL career and Robes
is just this week, just this Monday, this was a
career milestone for him. He scored his first touchdown. Now
that doesn't sound like necessarily a big deal for some,
but he's a defensive lineman. These guys don't get an opportunity.
(08:34):
The whole career is to score a touchdown. So it
was just such a huge, a big moment on Monday
night on a blocked punt and go from that to
this That was a no doubt, a career highlight for him,
and a couple days later, it's hard.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
To imagine what was going on. That is really sad,
all right.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Next up on the Run, former NFL superstar Antonio Brown
is back in the US to face an attempted murder charge.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
US Marshalls tracked him down in Dubai.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I have Brown, who had an all pro twelve year
career in the NFL, was wanted for a May incident
in Miami in which police say Brown grabbed a security
guards gun and then started shooting at a man he
had earlier gotten into a fight with. Now that another
man was okay, you only told police the bullet grazed
his neck. Now Brown is going to be taken to
Miami to face charges.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Next up on the Run, a former Virginia teacher who
was shot by her six year old student has been
awarded ten million dollars Abby's were in her filed suit
against her school's assistant principal, claiming she ignored warnings that
the child had brought a gun to school.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You remember this story, You just I didn't imagine what
a six year old is doing with a gun and
then pulling a trigger at the teacher in the middle
of the classroom. Now, this teacher was shot in her
chest and hand. This is a Newport News elementary school
in January of twenty twenty three. Now, she argued that
the vice principal, the principal, Ebony Parker, was told by
several staff members that they'd seen the kid with a
(09:59):
gun in his backpack, but those warnings were ignored. There's
a criminal case going on here as well. But whatever
case she made, the jury, this court certainly bought it
because she was awarded ten million dollars. And again, this
was a personal suit against Ebony Parker, this vice principal.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Wow, yes, well, just so glad that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I mean, yes, she was injured, but the fact that
she's okay, and a lot of lessons were hopefully learned.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this
very rare early Friday morning run. When we come back
what do you give the world's richest man. He has everything,
you give him more money. You are not gonna believe
how many zeros are involved in his new pay package.
And the band is getting back together, Robes, but they're
getting back together so that they can break up. We'll
(10:45):
tell you what's going on with Journey next year.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Stay here, continuing our Friday morning run with news of
the rich getting richer. Elon Musk has been given to
go ahead to become an even richer man. The Tesla
shareholders yesterday voted to approve a new pay package for
(11:11):
the already richest man in the world that could make
him the first trillionaire the world has ever seen.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So this new compensation package, which was approved by a
seventy five percent vote of the shareholders, would pay Musk
additional shares, and the value of those shares could exceed
a trillion dollars over the next ten years. This is
a pretty big if. Here, Robes, he would have to
help the company hit certain markers and this doesn't sound easy.
(11:39):
He would have to raise the company's value to eight
point five trillion dollars within the next ten years. Now,
we just did a story. What was the is it
an Nvidia. Yes, that just hit five trillion, correct, and
we've never seen that before. So he's got his work
cut out for him. But if he hits those markers,
(11:59):
this guy is going to make a one with twelve
zeros behind it.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I can't million. I can't get my head around any
of that dollars. Well, you know what, he's got some
incentive for the final leg of our run. The band
is finally breaking up after fifty years.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh I have seen them in concert multiple times.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Legendary rock group Journey has announced plans for their final
Frontier tour, which is billed as their final and farewell tour.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I didn't know you'd seen Journey several times in concert,
But it doesn't surprise me one bit.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh I have.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
They have sixty dates scheduled for next year that run
through July. But they're calling that the first leg of
the farewell. Don't exactly know what that means and if
they're going to be adding more dates or they want
to see how this goes and see how they I
don't know, but they just call it the first leg.
Maybe it's giving themselves options. Oh so no opening acts here.
(12:55):
If you go get a ticket, you are getting all
Journey all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Oh reallylast time, well, the last time I saw Journey,
I was like, I don't know, less than ten years
ago death Leopard opened for the house.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
So it was like a dream come true for me.
I was like out of my mind with joy.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Oh, imagine that crowd.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They look a lot like me. Shocking.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
All right, on this Friday, we would like to leave
you with our quote of the day and we are
wrapping up our Mahatma Gandhi week. To give pleasure to
a single heart by a single act is better than
a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Taking it in.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, I'm trying to get the last party. It's better
than a thousand What was he saying there?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Saying that basically, to do one small act of kindness
to one person is more important than other people all
bowing their heads in prayer to God or to whoever.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You create it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So that it's in terms of trying to do good
for the world, good for your soul, good for your spirit,
the best thing you could possibly do is to give
pleasure to a single heart by a single act.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So we too often think that the way to do
it go to church every Sunday going here, I pray enough,
I did that, But and then go to the grocery
store and cut somebody off in line. Yes, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yes, and it's a good thing to remember.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So we think by going to church, or by doing
our meditation or whatever it is our practice, our spiritual practice,
that that's doing good.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
But no think about those small acts of kindness.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So to give pleasure to a single heart by a
single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Thank you for that, Mahatma Gandhi, and for all of
your words of wisdom, and thank you all for listening
to us on this Friday. I'm Amy Robot.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And I'm TJ. Holmes. Right now it's just saying travel
alert next to our boarding pass here, but right now
it shows our flight. It's still on time. We will
keep you posted, let you know how this travel experience
goes on. TJ. Holmes, We'll talk to the alls here
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Friday, November seventh.
I'm Amy Robot.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Wow, it's a good way to She forgot to introduce yourself.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I forgot that I'm a woman who needs no introduction.
Oh wow, No, I forgot to introduce myself.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, Well, hey the folks, I'm TJ and it's you
have to give us a little bit of a break.
Full disclosure, we are actually recording this morning much earlier
than normal, and we're recording from our home studio because Robes.
For whatever reason, we just decided to go roll the
dice day one of the cutback on flights. And where
are we headed?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Miami, Warmer Waters.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I only meant what airport, but go ahead, you can
give out the travel plans. But yeah, we're gonna be
flying here in a short time from one of the
airports that the government now says is going to be
seeing reductions in flights because of the shutdown. And we
have a lot to get to this morning, but we
do want to actually start there on this Friday with
(01:02):
what is now day thirty eight robes of this shutdown.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's right, and we're not sure if it's hope, but
Republicans are possibly going to try a new tactic today.
Instead of voting on the same temporary short term measure
that Democrats have voted down fourteen times before, Republicans are
expected to now offer up a bill that would reopen
the government keep it funded through January, giving them time
(01:26):
to negotiate a longer term deal. In addition, it would
also fund food aid programs and veterans programs for a year.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I know what you're thinking. Sounds reasonable enough. Surely they'll
go for this. Well, I can tell you already the
Democrats have signaled that they won't be voting for this.
Do not get your hopes up, Republicans just hoping to
pick up a few Democrats. There are a lot of
conversations going on with centrist Republicans and Democrats you've been
hearing about, but it doesn't look like this is going
to be the thing that makes the difference. However, they
(01:55):
say they are at least robes going to stay and
work through the weekend. Finally, Yeah, that's new. Meanwhile, thousands
of flights have been canceled today, and they were canceled
before the day even started. The FAA has now directed
airlines to start cutting flights in hopes of reducing the
strain caused by a shortage of air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced earlier this week that they
would have to start reducing air traffic on Friday, that's today,
if the shutdown continued. It has, so today is Friday,
and the major airlines got the memo. United American Delta
have canceled up to two hundred flights each today alone.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Not ours as of this recording just yet. But the
FAA gave the airline this breakdown for how to handle
the coming day. So all the airlines are supposed to
do this first supposed to cut their flight schedules by
at least four percent today, five percent by tomorrow, six
percent by Sunday, and then next week all airlines are
(02:55):
supposed to reduce their flights by ten percent. Now, air
traffic controllers, as you know, are required to work without
pay during the shutdown. It was just yesterday Sean Duffy
said they got their second full paycheck zero dollars, and
some people were putting them out where it said zero
on their check stuffs.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
All right, next up on the run, the Trump administration
says there's no money.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A judge says, go find it. You have until the
end of the day.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Today, the Trump administration has been ordered to fully fund
the SNAP food assistance program for the month of November.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Ye had a SNAP program, which provides food assistance to
forty two million Americans, ran out of money for the
month of November because of the shutdown. But last week
a judge ordered that the administration tap into a contingency
fund to fund SNAP. However, there wasn't enough money in
that contingency fund to fully fund the SNAP program.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
So that same judge has now come back and told
the administration to fully fund SNAP and gave them of
the deadline today to make it happen. So the administration
is appealing. We'll see how that all works out with
the timeline.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I don't know if they're looking at couch cushions or what,
but the money is dry. But they say if they
take it out of this other fund, it's going to
hurt another program. But we'll see why they're appealing. They're
not gonna put that money in there, we assume. Continuing
on the run here now, President Trump held a pretty
big deal news conference yesterday announcing a deal with two
pharmaceutical companies to lower the cost of those popular GLP ones,
(04:26):
those weight loss drugs.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Under the deal, as soon as mid next year, GLP
one drugs will GOVY and zep bound out of pocket costs,
which can now cost well over one thousand dollars a month,
will drastically drop. Trump announcing both Medicare and Medicaid will
quote finally cover the cost of weight loss drugs from
millions of patients suffering from obesity. So Medicare is going
to cover the drugs for a fifty dollars copey and
(04:50):
people on Medicaid typically don't have a Copey and.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The government's discount platform for buying prescription drugs without insurance.
Trump rx dot com. We'll offer the drugs starting it
three hundred and fifty dollars a month and then dropped
two hundred and fifty dollars within the next couple of years.
Both Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. The two companies have
voluntarily agreed to reduce the prices in exchange, however, for
relief from pharmaceutical tariffs for the next three years.

she's okay, and a lot of lessons were hopefully learned.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this
very rare early Friday morning run. When we come back
what do you give the world's richest man. He has everything,
you give him more money. You are not gonna believe
how many zeros are involved in his new pay package.
And the band is getting back together, Robes, but they're
getting back together so that they can break up. We'll
(10:45):
tell you what's going on with Journey next year.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Stay here, continuing our Friday morning run with news of
the rich getting richer. Elon Musk has been given to
go ahead to become an even richer man. The Tesla
shareholders yesterday voted to approve a new pay package for
(11:11):
the already richest man in the world that could make
him the first trillionaire the world has ever seen.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So this new compensation package, which was approved by a
seventy five percent vote of the shareholders, would pay Musk
additional shares, and the value of those shares could exceed
a trillion dollars over the next ten years. This is
a pretty big if. Here, Robes, he would have to
help the company hit certain markers and this doesn't sound easy.
(11:39):
He would have to raise the company's value to eight
point five trillion dollars within the next ten years. Now,
we just did a story. What was the is it
an Nvidia. Yes, that just hit five trillion, correct, and
we've never seen that before. So he's got his work
cut out for him. But if he hits those markers,
(11:59):
this guy is going to make a one with twelve
zeros behind it.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I can't million. I can't get my head around any
of that dollars. Well, you know what, he's got some
incentive for the final leg of our run. The band
is finally breaking up after fifty years.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh I have seen them in concert multiple times.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Legendary rock group Journey has announced plans for their final
Frontier tour, which is billed as their final and farewell tour.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I didn't know you'd seen Journey several times in concert,
But it doesn't surprise me one bit.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh I have.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
They have sixty dates scheduled for next year that run
through July. But they're calling that the first leg of
the farewell. Don't exactly know what that means and if
they're going to be adding more dates or they want
to see how this goes and see how they I
don't know, but they just call it the first leg.
Maybe it's giving themselves options. Oh so no opening acts here.
(12:55):
If you go get a ticket, you are getting all
Journey all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Oh reallylast time, well, the last time I saw Journey,
I was like, I don't know, less than ten years
ago death Leopard opened for the house.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
So it was like a dream come true for me.
I was like out of my mind with joy.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Oh, imagine that crowd.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They look a lot like me. Shocking.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
All right, on this Friday, we would like to leave
you with our quote of the day and we are
wrapping up our Mahatma Gandhi week. To give pleasure to
a single heart by a single act is better than
a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Taking it in.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, I'm trying to get the last party. It's better
than a thousand What was he saying there?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Saying that basically, to do one small act of kindness
to one person is more important than other people all
bowing their heads in prayer to God or to whoever.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
You create it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So that it's in terms of trying to do good
for the world, good for your soul, good for your spirit,
the best thing you could possibly do is to give
pleasure to a single heart by a single act.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So we too often think that the way to do
it go to church every Sunday going here, I pray enough,
I did that, But and then go to the grocery
store and cut somebody off in line. Yes, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yes, and it's a good thing to remember.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So we think by going to church, or by doing
our meditation or whatever it is our practice, our spiritual practice,
that that's doing good.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
But no think about those small acts of kindness.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So to give pleasure to a single heart by a
single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
Thank you for that, Mahatma Gandhi, and for all of
your words of wisdom, and thank you all for listening
to us on this Friday. I'm Amy Robot.
