Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone. It's Tuesday, November eighteenth. I'm Amy Robot.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Tuesday. You say Tuesday, that means what It's a new
episode of All's Fair.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Oh my god. Actually, when you just said that, I thought,
is it Wednesday? And I've messed it up?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh, don't you missed an anniversary? But no, All's Fair.
If you all aren't watching All's Fair on Hulu, Kim
Kardashian's new show, new episodes tonight. Hi, I'm TJ Holmes.
I'm a super fan of this show.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
All right, we should watch. Maybe we'll put out an
episode about their latest episode later today because it's so good.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
See, that's how we had to That's how we're starting
this Tuesday. It almost sounds like it's a slow newsday,
which is not. It's definitely it is not to say, Hey,
you have to start with something that makes your smile,
makes you happy, something to look forward to, and that's
definitely something I'm looking forward to. We always want to
remind you click that button upright corner of the Apple
podcast app on our show page. It says follow click
that you can get all of our updates. All's fair
(01:06):
and otherwise. Updates coming your way. Also on the run,
we need to tell you about this morning Larry Summers,
Schador Sanders, the UN Security Council, a piggy on Air
Force one, and we have another word of the year
to tell you about. But we do have to begin
our run. There's morning. A once unthinkable thing is happening today.
(01:27):
The House of Representatives expected to vote on releasing the
full Epstein files and get this Robes. We never would
have thought this. It's going to pass. It's not even
expected to be close the razor. Thin's expected to vote
and win overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yes, because the court of public opinion is watching. After
a number of Republicans publicly broke ranks with the White
House saying that they wanted the files released, the President
and the House Speaker really had no choice in the
matter at that point, and they are powerless to stop
the vote. So that's why we heard the President this
week completely changed course and say yes, he now supports
(02:04):
the vote.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, so this is expected at some point today if
the House passes the bill, though it's going to go
to the Senate, and we don't know what's going to
happen there the majority leader there, John Thoom has so
far been noncommittal, but Robes there's little feeling that he
is going to not bring it up for a vote,
especially if it overwhelmingly passes in the House, there will
be another public outcry, and Trump says he will sign
(02:28):
this thing. So this is huge today.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's remarkable how the pressure of public opinion can completely
change the course of things in Washington. But that is
how it works, isn't it. And next up on the Run,
the fallout from the daily trickle of details from the
latest batch of Epstein documents continues. Larry Summers says he
(02:51):
is ashamed of his relationship with Epstein and has now
vowed to take a step back from public life.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah. Larry Summers served as Jury secretary for President Clinton
and was the director of National Economic Council under President Obama.
He has been a big deal in the Democratic political
circles for decades. He's also a former president of Harvard University,
where he continues as a tenured professor.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
This week's release of Epstein documents from the House Oversight
Committee contained emails that show a really close and friendly relationship,
including a large part after Epstein was already a convicted
sex offen.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah. In the statement yesterday, Summers said quote, I am
deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they
have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision
to continue communicating with mister Epstein.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He goes on to say, while continuing to fulfill my
teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments
as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust
and repair relationships with the people closest to me. Summers
has not been accused of a crime. There's nothing in
the document suggesting criminal wrong dealing, unless you consider having
(04:02):
Epstein as your wingman wrongdoing these two.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
This is not new about the relationship between these two.
It's not new that we know that Epstein gave millions
of dollars to Harvard. That's not new. But this is
detailing the just how close these two were in emails
that don't necessarily ropes suggest a whole lot or bombshells
necessarily in information they have. But they're talking to each
(04:26):
other in quite frankly personal, intimate, cute, browie little ways.
That is a little surprising.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yes, like Epstein helping Summers with a woman who he
was trying to pursue. And yes, he is married, has
several children. So this is all very embarrassing and certainly
nothing he wanted to come out.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
All right, I want to continue on the run here
on this Tuesday morning now, and we want to make
a mention of a story and a video that's making
the rounds out there. You might have even noticed it
this morning, but it seems really odd. You almost have
to click on it when you something trending, and the
trending topic is quiet piggy. Yes, that was trending on
social media this morning and it couldn't help.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But wonder why, Well, it's all thanks to President Trump.
Quiet Piggy is a direct quote from President Trump, and
he directed it towards a reporter on Air Force one.
The reporter was trying to ask a question about the
Epstein vote in Congress.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And this was during a press gaggle. I guess these
become pretty famous now ropes. I'd say, a press gaggle
on Air Force one. He does this a lot. He
steps back every time he's on a plane, rhinald Air
Force one and stands there for oftentimes a while talking
to reporters. So he was doing that thing where he's
leaning through that door a little bit. You've seen the video,
You've seen pictures out out there like this. This is
(05:50):
what was going on. Reporters were getting their questions in,
and an Epstein question comes at him. He points at
the reporter who is off camera. You can't see her.
He points directly at her, leans in and says quiet, quiet, piggy,
and then continues on with his press conference. Nobody says any.
(06:11):
I say, press conference, press gaggle. Nobody says anything, and
they move on. This is a probably somebody from Bloomberg,
but it's getting attention, but Robes is not getting the attention.
If can you imagine if Biden, Bush, Clinton, Obama, anybody
looked at a reporter during a press gaggle and looked
at that female reporter and said, quiet, piggy.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Jaws jaws drop reading.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
This, well, why is it when he does it? We
move on. This is almost no other president could get
away with this for five minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I would say, no other boss, no other male boss
in any business, any industry, could say that publicly recorded
without doubt to a female. There nothing, There's just no
way that that would be allowed or you.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Can't say I misheard you say, you're misinterpreting. It's on.
He looks at her points, lean's quiet, piggy, and it
just goes to show where we are to where he
has a different standard of I just can't imagine it's
coming out of another president's mouth and I was just
moving on with our day.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, my jaw is still dropped, all right. Next up
on the run a sign of the times in the
Democratic Party, Hakeem Jeffries is getting a primary challenger.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, Hakeem Jeffries the most powerful Democrat in Congress and
really certainly one of the most high profile Democrats in
the country. He has been front and center, especially during
this shutdown showdown. But a twenty seven year old Democratic
city councilman wants Hakeem jeffrey seat.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
That's right. She Osay has officially filed paperwork to run
against Jeffries in the primary for the eighth district seat
in New York that includes Brooklyn. OSEI is a Democratic
socialist hmmm, who endorsed Mom Donnie during his run for
New York mayors. So look, I'm sure O say, and
maybe other folks in his age bracket and with his
(08:11):
political leanings. Feel like when they saw Mom Donnie do
what he did in New York City, they feel empowered
and let's see what I can do. Let's see who
I can push out.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Well, we see what Mom Donnie did, as you said,
we also saw what Democrats did in Congress, which right
now seems to be caving. Right, so they're capitalizing on Hey,
this was the guy up there. So this is happening
in a lot of places around the country where folks
are seeing this is the Democratic old guard. Let's get
them out in a twenty seven year old or an
(08:41):
unheard of mom Donnie out of the Assembly. Here we are,
so we're paying attention to this. Now, this guy is
the leader of the Democrats. Somebody thinks, yep, you're not
doing a good enough job.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, if you think about it, Mom Donnie took on Cuomo. Now,
granted he was in battled, granted he had his share
of scandals, had to step down from the governor's seat,
but it was still a Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You know, Cuomo and Mayor Adams like two guys. Quite frankly,
I mean, even with my resume, I could.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They were a battlescarred.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Let's say they were, and you had something so easily
you could attack them on. All right, continue on the run.
Here now, folks, a story that is going to be
making headlines for quite some time. We got stand your
ground is going to be front and center. We assure
you once again now that an Indiana man has been
charged in the killing of a house cleaner who had
(09:33):
mistakenly shown up at his house.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Sixty two year old Kurt Anderson is facing a voluntary
manslaughter charge. Police say he shot through the door of
his own home, killing thirty two year old Maria Florinda
Rios Perez de Velasquez. She had arrived just before seven
am to clean the house, but she was at the
wrong address.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, so the shooting happened as Velasquez was using a
key to try to open the front door of the home.
This was at a suburb of Indianapolis. Now, Indiana is
one of thirty one states that have so called stand
your ground laws. I guess we've seen this play out
several times in high profile cases in Florida in particular.
But these laws allows homeowners to use deadly forced to
(10:14):
stop someone from entering your home.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Anderson's attorney says his actions must be evaluated based on
the circumstances as he perceived them. Obviously the prosecutors disagree,
and we saw this recently in Texas, even with the
eleven year old playing that ding Dong dash or whatever
it was called. And the question is just because someone
is on your property that law of the standard ground
law or the other ones, the castle domain law, they
(10:40):
don't allow you to use force unless you feel actually threatened.
So there is the gray area and that will have
to play.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Out in corporate This is going to be a fascinating one.
Someone is trying to get into your home, you don't know.
Why should you just kill him? Does that justify I
fear for my life? This woman had a legit, it
makes sense why she shies all of it? Okay, could
this end up being just a damn this is a
terrible set of circumstances or is that unreasonable? Somebody's on
(11:10):
your front, so they make rule or exceptions for what
if there's a ups delivery guy. Well, if there's a
pizza delivery guy, you can't just shoot because somebody's there.
Why isn't this not this? This is going to be a.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Fascinating It certainly is There's a lot more to come
on that one. But next up on the run, the
President's Gazza peace plan got a major, major endorsement yesterday,
the UN Security Council voted to approve Trump's twenty point
plan for peace, viewed as a legitimizing next step in
the peace process. The White House had warned that if
(11:43):
the Security Council rejected the plan, the ceasefire could be
in jeopardy. So it looks like right now things are
holding steady.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
All right, Well, folks, stay with us on this Tuesday
Morning run. When we come back, Roboc and I are
going to do a story we have done every year
at this time in our thirty year career in broadcasting,
and you know what, you'll want to hear this one too.
Also coming up, we have another word of the Year. Yeah,
dictionary dot Com had theirs. It was six to seven. Well,
(12:12):
Cambridge has theirs and it might be just as annoying
to you and should or Sanders just can't catch a freakin' break.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Stay here, we continue our Tuesday Morning ron and it
is time for the annual media report about the number
of people Triple A expects to travel during the Thanksgiving
holiday before I read it, Can I guess? Is it
(12:41):
record numbers this year?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yes, We've been doing this for thirty years and every
year we have record travel numbers. Except for the pandemic
that might have been the only year, and then we
made a big deal about how it wasn't a record
setting number of travelers. But anyway, this year a record
number were expected to travel. Eighty one point eight million,
ninety percent are expected to drive.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is that I was surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I actually was surprised by seeing that as well. Granted,
usually Thanksgiving you do think about people hitting the roads.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's you drive to Grandma's house and then you have
to fly. It's a bigger deal on Christmas, right.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It's a shorter amount of time you have to the holiday,
so you try to keep it within a driving distance,
or at least most people do so. Seventy three million
expected to hit the roads, six point one million expected
to fly, and that's up two percent from last year.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Have y'all not been watching the news? What's wrong with y'all?
Time fly on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh? That's larious? You do have the pandemic numbers? Yes,
I put fifty six point eight million traveled for Thanksgiving
in twenty twenty, so that was one of the lowest
numbers probably in the last thirty years since we've been
covering Triple A travel during the holidays.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We always roll our eyes every time because sometimes you
hate being the reporter getting stuck with that story. But
every year you always, oh, that's interesting. Like even right now,
I complain that we've been doing this every year, and
they're like.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh, wait, those numbers are interesting. Yes, and we can
also maybe next week tell you the best times to
get in your car and the worst times to travel.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yes, we'll get back to you on that next week.
Next up here on this Tuesday morning, Ron, this dude
just can't catch a break. And poor kid. We talking
about Shador Sanders here. You remember his story, the son
of Dion Sanders, the Hall of Fame. Deon Sanders played
at Colorado. They did their thing out there. He is right,
he's got some flash, some pizaz to him. People thought
(14:31):
that would hurt his draft stock, and sure not. This
kid might have been drafted in the top three, ends
up dropping to the fifth round.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And then gets that prank call from that owner's son,
which was terrible. So he thought he got called up
sooner than he did. It was so mean.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, so he's gone through all that, folks, and he
has been the backup, has been the third string in
Cleveland all season. Look, they were eleven twelve games into
the season. Now he hasn't played well. Sunday he got
to play for the first time. He made his NFL
debut on Sunday, and it went terribly. He was the
backup to the starter. Starter, got an injury, had a concussion. Actually,
(15:10):
the team was up by six when Schadur came in
at halftime or after halftime. They ended up losing the game.
He was four for sixteen, had an interception. It was
just all bad. But here's the thing, folks, that's not
why we're doing the story. That's not the part we're
talking about. You can't catch a break. You know what
happened Robes while he was having his NFL debut, which
(15:32):
went horribly, somebody was breaking into his house. This goes
in line how many stories have we done about this,
Robes Countless big name superstars have their houses broken into
while they are playing a game.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, because these asshole crooks are obviously paying attention to
where people are not at home and then taking advantage
of someone not being at home, whether they're on a
movie set or they're on a football field, you know
they're looking at targeting folks who are, yeah, who have
a lot of potential, really high valuable items inside set
homes and clearly are not at home.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You know exactly where they are because they're on the
field in the second quarter, right right, So his house
got broken into. We don't have about the details exactly
what was taken, how much was taken, But this was
another in the long line for this kid, like of
all things that he was already it was a big
day that turned into a bad day that oh wow,
his house got broken into as well.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
This kid, I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He is going to be in a super Bowl one day.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yes, I do. I do believe things turn around. I
do believe that he's learning some valuable lessons in ooh, resilience, patience, forgiveness,
all of the above. All right, and this is the
final leg of our run. We have another word of
the year. We all remember dictionary dot com announcing there's
(16:52):
earlier six seven and.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
How many do we get? I guess Cambridge dictionary dot
Com with Miriam Webster.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yes, Miriam Webster. Usually, I mean I do appreciate these.
These are fun to talk about it, even if they
are a little bit annoying. So the folks at Cambridge
have announced their twenty twenty five Word of the Year.
It is parasocial.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm so tired of hearing this word.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right. Here's the definition, involving or relating to a
connection that someone feels between themselves and a famous person
they do not know, a character in a book, film,
TV series, or an artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So it's not new, but it's been making the rounds
on social media and now is mainstream conversation. So a
parasocial relationship, by the way, can be fun and harmless,
or it can be wildly unhealthy.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Do you have one?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Do I have a para social you know what? Who
I feel a connection with? Who I've never met? Goldiehn Okay,
But it's fun and it's harmless, it's not unhealthy.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But if of celebrity, you have a relationship with someone
as a celebrity, if they did something good or bad,
do you share in the joy of it happening and
the disappointment? Do you feel a personal like it's a
like personally, I don't know how to the closest thing.
I don't know what I have right now.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't know if I feel I mean I can,
I would feel something for sure. If something happened, I
would be like, oh no, yes, but I wouldn't. I'd
still probably be able to function just fine during the day.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We need to come up with one. I bet there's
somebody we have. The closest thing I'm thinking now is
Kim Kardashian for me. But I'm trying to think we
should come up if we all stop and think about it,
you probably have a paranormal paranormal parasocial relations.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
With all the haunting movies we see.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And why it's bad is because these things are one
way ah and there is no one sided, one way
relationship that's healthy anywhere on the planet.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Oh, that's very true.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That's the argument that you could simply make.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay, that's fine. But as long as it's fun and
joyful and like you're supporting someone, even if they don't
know you are. I don't know, it's good to have
someone to root for, as long as it's not you know, unhealthy.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, Well, sorry, before we let you go, someone wants
you to consider it is our quote of the day
again one here Robes. I don't know if I'll ever
let give this back to you. I've been enjoying pulling
out the quotes of the Okay, so another one from
the TJ files this morning in Robes has not heard
this one yet. Quote never fail to give mercy. And
(19:27):
that's it, simply put. I know this one did come
from my pastor, but it was so so if you
just say that to yourself through every interaction during a day,
never fail to give mercy. I don't care who that
person is, what that person just did to you. Can
you do that? I am not good at this. I
know I'm not, but to keep it in mind, you
see me exercise this.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
But it's hard, and I think that's okay that it's hard.
That's why it is something to aspire to and something
to remind yourself of, because it isn't natural. Our natural
instinct is to protect ourselves, to defend ourselves, and to
blame other people. I think that is just a survival
instinct perhaps, But to actually live a full, happy, meaningful,
(20:10):
peaceful life, that is what needs to happen. Because think
about how many times we don't even realize. Holding onto
anger or hate or some sort of perceived grievance, all
it does is bring you down. It actually doesn't even
affect the other person. So I love it. Could you
say it one more time?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So yes, folks, take this with you today and it
is a short, sweet and simple one. Never fail to
give mercy. And with that we always appreciate you spending
some time with us here on the morning Run. I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Holmes and I'm Amy Robock. We hope you have a
wonderful day.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

episode of All's Fair.
Speaker 1 (00:16):

episode about their latest episode later today because it's so good.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
See, that's how we had to That's how we're starting
this Tuesday. It almost sounds like it's a slow newsday,
which is not. It's definitely it is not to say, Hey,
you have to start with something that makes your smile,

we need to tell you about this morning Larry Summers,
Schador Sanders, the UN Security Council, a piggy on Air

our run. There's morning. A once unthinkable thing is happening today.

was trying to pursue. And yes, he is married, has
several children. So this is all very embarrassing and certainly
nothing he wanted to come out.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
All right, I want to continue on the run here
on this Tuesday morning now, and we want to make
a mention of a story and a video that's making
the rounds out there. You might have even noticed it
this morning, but it seems really odd. You almost have
to click on it when you something trending, and the
trending topic is quiet piggy. Yes, that was trending on
social media this morning and it couldn't help.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But wonder why, Well, it's all thanks to President Trump.
Quiet Piggy is a direct quote from President Trump, and
he directed it towards a reporter on Air Force one.
The reporter was trying to ask a question about the
Epstein vote in Congress.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And this was during a press gaggle. I guess these
become pretty famous now ropes. I'd say, a press gaggle
on Air Force one. He does this a lot. He
steps back every time he's on a plane, rhinald Air
Force one and stands there for oftentimes a while talking
to reporters. So he was doing that thing where he's
leaning through that door a little bit. You've seen the video,
You've seen pictures out out there like this. This is
(05:50):
what was going on. Reporters were getting their questions in,
and an Epstein question comes at him. He points at
the reporter who is off camera. You can't see her.
He points directly at her, leans in and says quiet, quiet, piggy,
and then continues on with his press conference. Nobody says any.
(06:11):
I say, press conference, press gaggle. Nobody says anything, and
they move on. This is a probably somebody from Bloomberg,
but it's getting attention, but Robes is not getting the attention.
If can you imagine if Biden, Bush, Clinton, Obama, anybody
looked at a reporter during a press gaggle and looked
at that female reporter and said, quiet, piggy.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Jaws jaws drop reading.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
This, well, why is it when he does it? We
move on. This is almost no other president could get
away with this for five minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I would say, no other boss, no other male boss
in any business, any industry, could say that publicly recorded
without doubt to a female. There nothing, There's just no
way that that would be allowed or you.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Can't say I misheard you say, you're misinterpreting. It's on.
He looks at her points, lean's quiet, piggy, and it
just goes to show where we are to where he
has a different standard of I just can't imagine it's
coming out of another president's mouth and I was just
moving on with our day.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Well, my jaw is still dropped, all right. Next up
on the run a sign of the times in the
Democratic Party, Hakeem Jeffries is getting a primary challenger.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yes, Hakeem Jeffries the most powerful Democrat in Congress and
really certainly one of the most high profile Democrats in
the country. He has been front and center, especially during
this shutdown showdown. But a twenty seven year old Democratic
city councilman wants Hakeem jeffrey seat.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
That's right. She Osay has officially filed paperwork to run
against Jeffries in the primary for the eighth district seat
in New York that includes Brooklyn. OSEI is a Democratic
socialist hmmm, who endorsed Mom Donnie during his run for
New York mayors. So look, I'm sure O say, and
maybe other folks in his age bracket and with his
(08:11):
political leanings. Feel like when they saw Mom Donnie do
what he did in New York City, they feel empowered
and let's see what I can do. Let's see who
I can push out.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Well, we see what Mom Donnie did, as you said,
we also saw what Democrats did in Congress, which right
now seems to be caving. Right, so they're capitalizing on Hey,
this was the guy up there. So this is happening
in a lot of places around the country where folks
are seeing this is the Democratic old guard. Let's get
them out in a twenty seven year old or an
(08:41):
unheard of mom Donnie out of the Assembly. Here we are,
so we're paying attention to this. Now, this guy is
the leader of the Democrats. Somebody thinks, yep, you're not
doing a good enough job.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, if you think about it, Mom Donnie took on Cuomo. Now,
granted he was in battled, granted he had his share
of scandals, had to step down from the governor's seat,
but it was still a Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You know, Cuomo and Mayor Adams like two guys. Quite frankly,
I mean, even with my resume, I could.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They were a battlescarred.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Let's say they were, and you had something so easily
you could attack them on. All right, continue on the run.
Here now, folks, a story that is going to be
making headlines for quite some time. We got stand your
ground is going to be front and center. We assure
you once again now that an Indiana man has been
charged in the killing of a house cleaner who had
(09:33):
mistakenly shown up at his house.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Sixty two year old Kurt Anderson is facing a voluntary
manslaughter charge. Police say he shot through the door of
his own home, killing thirty two year old Maria Florinda
Rios Perez de Velasquez. She had arrived just before seven
am to clean the house, but she was at the
wrong address.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, so the shooting happened as Velasquez was using a
key to try to open the front door of the home.
This was at a suburb of Indianapolis. Now, Indiana is
one of thirty one states that have so called stand
your ground laws. I guess we've seen this play out
several times in high profile cases in Florida in particular.
But these laws allows homeowners to use deadly forced to
(10:14):
stop someone from entering your home.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Anderson's attorney says his actions must be evaluated based on
the circumstances as he perceived them. Obviously the prosecutors disagree,
and we saw this recently in Texas, even with the
eleven year old playing that ding Dong dash or whatever
it was called. And the question is just because someone
is on your property that law of the standard ground
law or the other ones, the castle domain law, they
(10:40):
don't allow you to use force unless you feel actually threatened.
So there is the gray area and that will have
to play.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Out in corporate This is going to be a fascinating one.
Someone is trying to get into your home, you don't know.
Why should you just kill him? Does that justify I
fear for my life? This woman had a legit, it
makes sense why she shies all of it? Okay, could
this end up being just a damn this is a
terrible set of circumstances or is that unreasonable? Somebody's on
(11:10):
your front, so they make rule or exceptions for what
if there's a ups delivery guy. Well, if there's a
pizza delivery guy, you can't just shoot because somebody's there.
Why isn't this not this? This is going to be a.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Fascinating It certainly is There's a lot more to come
on that one. But next up on the run, the
President's Gazza peace plan got a major, major endorsement yesterday,
the UN Security Council voted to approve Trump's twenty point
plan for peace, viewed as a legitimizing next step in
the peace process. The White House had warned that if
(11:43):
the Security Council rejected the plan, the ceasefire could be
in jeopardy. So it looks like right now things are
holding steady.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
All right, Well, folks, stay with us on this Tuesday
Morning run. When we come back, Roboc and I are
going to do a story we have done every year
at this time in our thirty year career in broadcasting,
and you know what, you'll want to hear this one too.
Also coming up, we have another word of the Year. Yeah,
dictionary dot Com had theirs. It was six to seven. Well,
(12:12):
Cambridge has theirs and it might be just as annoying
to you and should or Sanders just can't catch a freakin' break.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Stay here, we continue our Tuesday Morning ron and it
is time for the annual media report about the number
of people Triple A expects to travel during the Thanksgiving
holiday before I read it, Can I guess? Is it
(12:41):
record numbers this year?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yes, We've been doing this for thirty years and every
year we have record travel numbers. Except for the pandemic
that might have been the only year, and then we
made a big deal about how it wasn't a record
setting number of travelers. But anyway, this year a record
number were expected to travel. Eighty one point eight million,
ninety percent are expected to drive.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is that I was surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I actually was surprised by seeing that as well. Granted,
usually Thanksgiving you do think about people hitting the roads.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's you drive to Grandma's house and then you have
to fly. It's a bigger deal on Christmas, right.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It's a shorter amount of time you have to the holiday,
so you try to keep it within a driving distance,
or at least most people do so. Seventy three million
expected to hit the roads, six point one million expected
to fly, and that's up two percent from last year.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Have y'all not been watching the news? What's wrong with y'all?
Time fly on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh? That's larious? You do have the pandemic numbers? Yes,
I put fifty six point eight million traveled for Thanksgiving
in twenty twenty, so that was one of the lowest
numbers probably in the last thirty years since we've been
covering Triple A travel during the holidays.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
We always roll our eyes every time because sometimes you
hate being the reporter getting stuck with that story. But
every year you always, oh, that's interesting. Like even right now,
I complain that we've been doing this every year, and
they're like.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh, wait, those numbers are interesting. Yes, and we can
also maybe next week tell you the best times to
get in your car and the worst times to travel.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yes, we'll get back to you on that next week.
Next up here on this Tuesday morning, Ron, this dude
just can't catch a break. And poor kid. We talking
about Shador Sanders here. You remember his story, the son
of Dion Sanders, the Hall of Fame. Deon Sanders played
at Colorado. They did their thing out there. He is right,
he's got some flash, some pizaz to him. People thought
(14:31):
that would hurt his draft stock, and sure not. This
kid might have been drafted in the top three, ends
up dropping to the fifth round.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
And then gets that prank call from that owner's son,
which was terrible. So he thought he got called up
sooner than he did. It was so mean.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, so he's gone through all that, folks, and he
has been the backup, has been the third string in
Cleveland all season. Look, they were eleven twelve games into
the season. Now he hasn't played well. Sunday he got
to play for the first time. He made his NFL
debut on Sunday, and it went terribly. He was the
backup to the starter. Starter, got an injury, had a concussion. Actually,
(15:10):
the team was up by six when Schadur came in
at halftime or after halftime. They ended up losing the game.
He was four for sixteen, had an interception. It was
just all bad. But here's the thing, folks, that's not
why we're doing the story. That's not the part we're
talking about. You can't catch a break. You know what
happened Robes while he was having his NFL debut, which
(15:32):
went horribly, somebody was breaking into his house. This goes
in line how many stories have we done about this,
Robes Countless big name superstars have their houses broken into
while they are playing a game.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, because these asshole crooks are obviously paying attention to
where people are not at home and then taking advantage
of someone not being at home, whether they're on a
movie set or they're on a football field, you know
they're looking at targeting folks who are, yeah, who have
a lot of potential, really high valuable items inside set
homes and clearly are not at home.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You know exactly where they are because they're on the
field in the second quarter, right right, So his house
got broken into. We don't have about the details exactly
what was taken, how much was taken, But this was
another in the long line for this kid, like of
all things that he was already it was a big
day that turned into a bad day that oh wow,
his house got broken into as well.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
This kid, I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
He is going to be in a super Bowl one day.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yes, I do. I do believe things turn around. I
do believe that he's learning some valuable lessons in ooh, resilience, patience, forgiveness,
all of the above. All right, and this is the
final leg of our run. We have another word of
the year. We all remember dictionary dot com announcing there's
(16:52):
earlier six seven and.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
How many do we get? I guess Cambridge dictionary dot
Com with Miriam Webster.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yes, Miriam Webster. Usually, I mean I do appreciate these.
These are fun to talk about it, even if they
are a little bit annoying. So the folks at Cambridge
have announced their twenty twenty five Word of the Year.
It is parasocial.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'm so tired of hearing this word.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right. Here's the definition, involving or relating to a
connection that someone feels between themselves and a famous person
they do not know, a character in a book, film,
TV series, or an artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So it's not new, but it's been making the rounds
on social media and now is mainstream conversation. So a
parasocial relationship, by the way, can be fun and harmless,
or it can be wildly unhealthy.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Do you have one?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Do I have a para social you know what? Who
I feel a connection with? Who I've never met? Goldiehn Okay,
But it's fun and it's harmless, it's not unhealthy.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But if of celebrity, you have a relationship with someone
as a celebrity, if they did something good or bad,
do you share in the joy of it happening and
the disappointment? Do you feel a personal like it's a
like personally, I don't know how to the closest thing.
I don't know what I have right now.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't know if I feel I mean I can,
I would feel something for sure. If something happened, I
would be like, oh no, yes, but I wouldn't. I'd
still probably be able to function just fine during the day.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We need to come up with one. I bet there's
somebody we have. The closest thing I'm thinking now is
Kim Kardashian for me. But I'm trying to think we
should come up if we all stop and think about it,
you probably have a paranormal paranormal parasocial relations.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
With all the haunting movies we see.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And why it's bad is because these things are one
way ah and there is no one sided, one way
relationship that's healthy anywhere on the planet.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Oh, that's very true.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
That's the argument that you could simply make.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay, that's fine. But as long as it's fun and
joyful and like you're supporting someone, even if they don't
know you are. I don't know, it's good to have
someone to root for, as long as it's not you know, unhealthy.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, Well, sorry, before we let you go, someone wants
you to consider it is our quote of the day
again one here Robes. I don't know if I'll ever
let give this back to you. I've been enjoying pulling
out the quotes of the Okay, so another one from
the TJ files this morning in Robes has not heard
this one yet. Quote never fail to give mercy. And
(19:27):
that's it, simply put. I know this one did come
from my pastor, but it was so so if you
just say that to yourself through every interaction during a day,
never fail to give mercy. I don't care who that
person is, what that person just did to you. Can
you do that? I am not good at this. I
know I'm not, but to keep it in mind, you
see me exercise this.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
But it's hard, and I think that's okay that it's hard.
That's why it is something to aspire to and something
to remind yourself of, because it isn't natural. Our natural
instinct is to protect ourselves, to defend ourselves, and to
blame other people. I think that is just a survival
instinct perhaps, But to actually live a full, happy, meaningful,
(20:10):
peaceful life, that is what needs to happen. Because think
about how many times we don't even realize. Holding onto
anger or hate or some sort of perceived grievance, all
it does is bring you down. It actually doesn't even
affect the other person. So I love it. Could you
say it one more time?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
So yes, folks, take this with you today and it
is a short, sweet and simple one. Never fail to
give mercy. And with that we always appreciate you spending
some time with us here on the morning Run. I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Holmes and I'm Amy Robock. We hope you have a
wonderful day.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
