Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good Friday, morning, everyone,
and welcome to Morning Run. Yes it's Friday, April eighteenth,
and good Friday to Catholics and Christians around the world.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm Ae me Roboch.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
And I'm TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yeah, Good Friday to Catholics and Christians. Catholics, that's a
one and a half billion of you out there.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Just a few of us, yes, But good Friday. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Growing up, it was Stations of the Cross, it was fasting.
This was always an oxymoron to me.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
To call it good Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
But I actually had to look it up because I
would always ask, why are we calling it good when
we're somber. We're actually honoring or commemorating the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ, And it's because of the sacrifice that gave
us all freedom that happens on Sunday when he rises
from the dead.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So that is why it is called good Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
All right, Well, there you go, folks, We'll give you
that and look forward to our Religion podcast that will
be we're going to be launching Midsummer.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Just getting there.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yes, well you all wherever you may be glad you
are listening to us on this Friday morning.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Ron.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yes, we are going to start a number of headlines,
certainly disturbing ones, this one coming out of Florida. Yes,
we're going to start there on the rundown with a
Florida State student who opened fire on campus, killing.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Two people and wounding six others.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The alleged shooter is the step son of a sheriff's deputy.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We'll have the latest on that.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, Also on the run this morning, President Trump wants
the FED chairman fired after his comments on Trump's tariffs
and the economy, but the chairman says he's not going anywhere.
And after all the lawsuits, it is now official the
Supreme Court will decide if Trump can end birthright citizenship
in this country.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Also, Puerto Rico is slowly getting power restored, but nearly
half the island is still in the dark. This morning, plus,
measles is on the move, spreading to Michigan, that state
joining five others with official outbreaks in the country.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And on this Holy Week, Pope Francis must be feeling
pretty good as he continues to go against his wishes,
this time visiting with inmates at a prison in Rome,
and Drake has updated his lawsuits against Kendrick Lamar, saying
Lamar's two biggest nights of his career, the Super Bowl
and the Grammys, are ruining his.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Also on the run this morning, longtime sports broadcaster and
one of the most familiar faces in all of college football,
leek Orso announced he is retiring from ESPN after forty years.
And finally this morning, we may now have proof there
is life on another planet. My favorite story of the
day doing one of my famous deep dives, as you
so appreciate.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
On that story, Rope, I can't wait for that, but
we do have to begin our run. In Tallahassee, Florida,
where a twenty year old Florida State student opened fire
on campus just outside the student center, killing two men
and wounding six others.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Police have identified the alleged shooter. They say it's Phoenix Eichner,
who happens to be the step son of a sheriff's
deputy and used his step mother's former service weapon in
the shooting. The Tallahasset Police chief said officers arrived quickly
to the scene, shot and wounded Eigner. He's in the
hospital in custody. Recovering from non life threatening injuries.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So far, police have only said the two men killed
were not students, but they didn't release the identities or
really any other information about the other victims. It was
another scene of pure terror. The shooting happened around lunchtime.
It was a beautiful day there in Tallahassee, and so
many of the students were outside. It sent them running
hiding for cover all around campus and scarily, witnesses tell
(03:34):
police it could have been even worse.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, this is a wild detail here that several students
say they saw the shooter get out of his car,
initially with a shotgun. That gun, they say, jammed. He
had to go back into the car get another weapon.
That's when he grabbed the handgun and started firing. President
Trump has been briefed on the shooting, told reporters it's
a horrible. Excuse me, It's horrible that things like this
take place, adding that the gun doesn't do the shooting.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The people do well.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Police when they gave the press conference, talked about Eichner's stepmother.
They say that she is a deputy that is highly
regarded who's worked at the Leon County Sheriff's office. For
eighteen years, and she was allowed to keep her service
weapon when it was upgraded to a different one for
personal use, and that is the gun police say Eichner used.
They say that this kid, this twenty year old, had
(04:22):
been involved in training programs at the Sheriff's office, was
a member of its youth Advisory committee. So police were very,
very aware and familiar with this young man. They say
he has been steeped in the Leon County Sheriff's Office family.
So this is personal and this is frightening, and there
are a lot of questions about motive. So far, it's
(04:42):
unclear why this happened and why police say he chose
to do what he did.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
That's tough for campus community.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
We've seen school shootings before so on campuses and just
what it does and to rattle a campus community.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's remarkable to me that no student was killed.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I'd be curious to hear exactly what was going on
if this was targeted to be on a campus to
have a shooting, and to hear the two are dead
and they're not students, could be faculty members for all
we know. We have that part we don't know. That
was remarkable man that campus just gets cheken when something
like this happens.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was, you know, you go in and you start
reading about the eye Winds accounts and what the students
were doing and where they were hiding in freight elevators,
in bowling alleys, I mean, they barricaded doors.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Just terrible. But one young girl that stood out to me.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
She survived the Parkland High School shooting where her seventeen
classmates were killed. And to have gone through that once
in high school and then to find yourself in this
same position again in university is unthinkable. It's unimaginable.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know how you reconcile that and don't take
that with you forever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But just an awful scene there, and thankfully police were
able to get there as quickly as they did. Next
up on the run this morning, President Trump minced no
words describing how he feels about the Federal Reserve chair
Jerome Powell after his comments this week about Trump's tariffs.
Trump writing in a social media post that Powell's termination
cannot come fast enough.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
The words come after Powell made comments about the financial
consequences of Trump's Liberation Day tariffs. Powell suggested that the
Fed would not lower interest rates to offset any downturn
in the economy, saying restraint was the proper way.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Ford Well.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Trump took issue with that and said Powell should be
cutting interest rates like the Europeans have, pointing to the
European Central Bank, which cut its rates by a quarter
percentage point.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So Trump posted this.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
He said, the ECB, that's the European Central Bank, is
expected to cut interest rates for the seventh time, and
yet too late. Jerome Powell of the Fed, who was
always too late and wrong, yesterday issued a report which
was another and typical complete mess.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Trump pointed out that oil prices are down, groceries even
eggs are down, he says, and the US is getting
rich on tariffs.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
He said.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Powell's termination just can't come fast enough. And even though
Trump wants him gone, there is a long standing Supreme
Court ruling from nineteen thirty five that backs up Powell.
He can't just be kicked out by Trump, can't just
fire him, It upheld the Supreme Court did that Congress's
authority to create independent federal agencies like the Federal Reserve,
and board members can only be terminated before their terms
(07:11):
are up for cause.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So Powell has said publicly before that he would not
step down if Trump asked him to, And he pointed
out that under that current law, neither Trump nor any
president for that matter, has the authority to fire or
even demote the FED chair. Trump could always just wait
Powell out. His term as FED chair ends roughly a
year from now. That's May fifteenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, we continue our run here this morning with President Trump.
Of course, he wants to end birthright citizenship. Now the
Supreme Court will decide if he can. The Justices have
agreed to hear arguments next months over the constitutionality of
President Trump's efforts to overturn a long upheld part of
the US Constitution that any person born on US soil
(07:56):
is a US citizen, despite the nationality or legal status
of the parents.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
President Trump signed that executive order on his first day
in office to end the right, which again is guaranteed
by the Fourteenth Amendment. Lawsuits, says you might imagine, soon followed,
and the administration has lost in each and every lower
court case, some judges making it very clear this is unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on May fifteenth, and
(08:22):
a ruling could come mid summer.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
All right, next leg of our run Texas to Puerto Rico,
where the lights are back on at least for half
of the folks there, following Wednesday's blackout that left the
entire island nation without power.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The blackout happened on one of the busiest tourist weeks
of the year, leading up to Easter Sunday, and it
was the second major outage to disrupt the island in
a matter of months, the last one happening on New
Year's Eve.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Okay, So, governor officials said, every day that goes on
without electricity is costing the local economy about two hundred
and thirty million dollars in revenue. Business has been forced
to close some tourists. Tourists have left, cutting their vacations short.
So Luma Energy, which is responsible for Puerto Rico's powers,
that the blackout was caused by a combination of things,
(09:07):
including a protection system failure and the presence of vegetation
on a transmission line. Protection system failure. Okay, something went wrong,
and then we had some overgrowth. We didn't have the
gardeners come.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
By trim this.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
They weren't trim and trees or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I'm not really sure what that all means, but initially
more than three hundred thousand residents were also without water,
but at last check, more than eighty percent of customers
who did finally have their normal supply of safe drinking
water restored. Luma Energy has assured residents that ninety percent
of the island should be back up and running by Saturday.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
By tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
We will continue here on this Friday morning run and
measles is on the move at Michigan. Now to a
list of states with an outbreak. More than twenty states
are reporting measles cases, but just six now including Michigan,
have experienced what health officials classify as an outbreak.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Outbreak That sounds terrible, but an outbreak is actually defined
as having three or more related cases. Michigan has seven
so far for the year, and this is the first
measles outbreak the state has experienced since twenty nineteen, and scarily,
it's happening in a county where twenty five percent of
kids under the age of three are not vaccinated against measles.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
All breaks have also been reported in New Mexico, Ohio, Kansas,
Indiana and of course Texas where this all started. Kind
of the crisis of measles in the country this year,
that outbreak seen at least five hundred and sixty of
the seven hundred plus measles cases in the country are
concentrated there in Texas. And yes, two kids have died
of measles too, have been confirmed to have measles, and
(10:41):
both of those children, unfortunately, were unvaccinated.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Next up on our run, Pope Francis just won't listen continues.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
To defy doctors' orders.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Those orders were to take it easy and avoid crowds
as he recovers from that month long stay in the hospital.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, a month long stay where he almost died on
two occasions, at least according to his doctors. But Pope
Friensis just can't help himself now, and it's kind of
endearing for the guy to see him kind of out
there and wanting to be out there. He's been making appearances,
some unannounced during the Holy Week, and his latest stop
yesterday was at a prison in Rome where he met
(11:18):
with about seventy inmates spent about.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Half an hour there.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, this is a prison where he has previously performed
the ritual of washing the feet of twelve people who
are less fortunate, just like Jesus did. Francis told the
group that he wasn't quite up to the task this
year because of his health, but he said he still
wanted to be with them, so he made some impromptu
comments to reporters after the visit and said this, every
time I enter one of these places, I ask myself,
(11:42):
why them and not me? It is certainly heartwarming to
see him out there and doing what the pope.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Is supposed to do. This is his role. He's the
leader of the Catholic Church, but he's also.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
A conduit for good acts and increasing people's faith and
belief in Christianity.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So it's it is beautiful. I love how you put that.
It was endearing. It is endearing to see him do
what he's doing, and to.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Know at this point he's putting his I mean his health,
and you could argue his life at risk. I mean,
doctors are telling you you just in the hospital for
a month. Dude, you almost died twice. Take it easy,
and he's still going out there. It's quite not to
be morbid. He probably knows how many more Easters does
he have?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Left right. How many more opportunities does he get?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
We've fallen in love with this to a certain degree,
as much as we've been covering him during his health issues.
But stay with us here on this Friday morning run
when we come back. We thought the Drake and Kendrick
Lamar battle was over, but apparently it ain't over until
Drake's lawyers say it's over. Also, college football will never
ever ever look the same. The corso is retiring, and
(12:51):
there is life on another planet. The evidence is there,
we think, all right, folks, we will continue now on
this Friday Morning Ron and Drake continues to bring lawyers
to a rap battle and now has updated his lawsuit
(13:15):
over Kendrick Lamar's disk track. Not like us, what's the update?
Drake claims he was subject to a double dose of
defamation on one hand on Grammy Night and then on
the other hand during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I love that writing, double dose of defamation. That's some
alliteration there. I'm impressed.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
How about this Drake's double dose of defamation?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I like it all right.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, those two nights happened to be the two biggest
nights of Kendrick Lamar's career. When He's not like us,
swept five Grammy categories, and when can I say Katot?
I don't feel like I'm cool enough to say Katot.
Hendrick Lamar performed in front of the largest Super Bowl
halftime audience in history. In this new court filing, Drake
(14:01):
says the high profile events helped promote a false claim
that he was a certified pedophile and introduced new listeners
to the song who don't know any better than to believe.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What they're hearing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Also by him filing this lawsuit, I'm hearing more about
him being a certified pedophile, So I don't know if
he's helping him his cause or hurting it.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Okay, Well, according to the lawsuit, the super Bowl was
the first and will hopefully be the last Super Bowl
halftime show orchestrated to assassinate the character of another artist.
Those were the words written by his lawyers in this lawsuit.
This is part of an earlier lawsuit Drake filed against
Universal Music Group, which happens to be his and Kendrick
(14:39):
Lamar's label, claiming it helped promote a song with false claims.
Want to be clear here, this lawsuit names Universal Music group.
Kendrick Lamar himself is not personally named in the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Right, and so Universal Music responded to the latest claims
by first acknowledging their long partnership with Drake, saying, Drake,
unquestionably the world's most accomplished artist and with whom we've
enjoyed a sixteen year successful relationship, is being misled by
his legal representatives into taking one absurd legal step after another.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So it's so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The company he's in business with he is suing, and
yet they're still praising him while he's suing them.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I also think it's I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Know funny is the right word, but him saying or
his lawyers saying, that they're hoping this will be the
last super Bowl halftime show like this. It was the
most watched super Bowl halftime show correct in history. It
actually in some moments was higher rated than the super
Bowl itself. And he wasn'tful correct, But you tell me
producers aren't gonna want more of that.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
We got a I don't know when we have it.
I love the rap battle and then let rap beef
when they were rapping. I don't like a battle continuing
in court.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Now, now the feelings are hurt. Feelings are hurt.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
That show I did, my feelings would have been hurt too.
We can tell you here on the run with a
legend that is now retiring, we were talking about Lee Corso.
The legend college football is never going to be the same.
He's been a part of college football and the experience
for millions of fans for forty years now.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, for so many fans at home, college football does
not start on Saturdays until Lee Corso makes his prediction
on the set of ESPN's Game Day, And for decades
he's made that prediction in dramatic fashion at the end
of the game day by putting on the team's mascot's headgear.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yah, even if you don't know his name, even if
you don't watch college football religiously, this is the guy. Yes,
at the end of that show, they're waiting who you're
gonna pick for the main game, and he asks them
to hand him whatever head of the team, and that's
how he predicts, and then.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He waves, it's just cool.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
We He've been doing this since nineteen eighty five when
he started that tradition, and it's going away because he
announced yesterday he's retiring. August thirtieth is going to be
his last broadcast. He's actually ninety years always going to
turn in August. Been at ESPN for forty years. He's
had some health issues previous years, the stroke in two
thousand and nine, but he recovered, could continue to work,
but he hasn't traveling as much in recent years, has
(17:01):
had some health issues. But that's going to be a
tough one. This is just a special part of all
of college football.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It is absolutely, as they say, is an end of
an era. But you know, I was just struck by
the fact that he kind of started making his mark
at the age of fifty. I mean, if he turns
ninety in August, he's been with ESPN for forty years.
I think that's cool for anyone of any age, just
to realize you can actually kind of hit your heyday
and then have forty years doing it, starting at the
(17:27):
age of fifty. I think that's a very cool story
for a lot of reasons, and he will certainly Collise.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
She was a college and a pro coach. Yep play,
Oh my goodness, is it Florida State. He played college football.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
For some reason, Florida state is coming to mind. But yeah,
he had a career in the sport and then he
became a legend in the sport by not even participating
in it other than in the broadcast. So very cool
story too. I love that and all those predictions. They
kept up with it over the years. His record in
predicting with those mascot heeads two hundred and eighty six
(17:59):
and one hundred forty four is his record.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Wow is that good? I mean I would imagine that's
pretty dang good for Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeh, it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It just funny that they kept.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Up with it and not so fast, my friend, do
you have that?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
What his line?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Not so fast?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Anytime somebody would make a prediction and they think was
really smart and he would challenge it. He not so fast,
my friend. It's been his thing. So oh, he's gonna
be missed.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well for the final leg of our run.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
A huge and potentially historic headline that could alter life
as we know it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
A group of researchers say they have found.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
The strongest evidence yet of alien life.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But other scientists say, take that headline with the galactic
size grain of salt. But I'm bomb still and what's
being called a quote revolutionary moment a joint US British
team of scientists at the Cambridge Institute of Astronomy. I
only mention that because they sound super duper smart.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
When so smart?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Okay, So they released their findings yesterday that showed the
first hints of an alien world that is currently inhabited. Woo,
ropes is big. This is everything. We just finally solved it.
There is life out there.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You just said inhabit it. That's a strong word right now.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So studying a planet known as K two eighteen B.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wow, that's a sexy name.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
The scientists say they have detected particular gases in the
atmosphere and those gases are known to be produced only
by living organisms. So K two eighteen B is a
planet two and a half times the size of Earth. Wow,
and is one hundred and twenty four light years away.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
How far is that.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You couldn't get there in a lifetime. You couldn't travel
there in your own lifetime, no matter how far too.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It just can't do it.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So it's far.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So that's the only point we're making.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
So it's a planet that appears as robes just saying,
there it's two and a half times the size of Earth,
but it has oceans and it is in a so
called Goldilocks zone. What does that mean? It's not too
close or too far from a star or a sun.
In other words, it's like the Earth, and that it
has the temperature that can s life. That's awesome, this
(20:02):
is where we are. We could stop the story right
there and just be excited about it. However, there's some
other astronomers and researchers out there who are saying, Robes,
you need to hold your celestial horses.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You were just so clever and you're riding on this one.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
A galactic sized grain of salt and celestial horses, all right.
They say there is not nearly enough evidence, and that
evidence needs to be peer reviewed. Plus, even if the
readings are correct and those gases are in fact in
the atmosphere, there might be some other and other worldly
explanation for why those gases are there that has absolutely
(20:37):
nothing to do with the living organism.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So that's kind of like taking the wind out of
the sails there, like wah wah.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean, we can hope it's exciting the thought of
more research is needed. They need what one to two
more years to study the findings.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
They have to go through and analyze and allies. But
the researchers are saying themselves, this isn't Yes, we know
what we have right now isn't definitive, but we are
going to now take this study. It give us one
to two years and we're going to be able to
give a definitive answer of whether or not that is
life right now on this planet.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Wow, but like microbial life, correct, not like advanced life.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Again, you keep want want one this thing. No, they're
not flying around up there. That's not what we're seeing.
But the idea that we can prove that there is
life beyond the planet is remarkable. Yes, jeezy.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All right, Well, on this good Friday, we would like
to leave you with this as you go about your day.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It is our quote of the day.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
We all get distracted.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
The question is will you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I like that quote.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
It makes short and sweet, to the point simple. Everybody
can understand that need for no explanation. Yeah, we get
just what are we doing when we get taken off
our course, off the goal, off the mission and you
start finding yourself going the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, so you can either I love that you can
either bounce back or bounce backwards.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That is very to the point. So when you're feeling
that way and guess who guess guess who said this
wise quote? The uh well, I guess I can say
ka doot now Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I found that and I just thought it was really cool,
given he's in the headlines once again. And actually so
many rappers are basically poets, you know, they are wise.
There is a lot of really cool wisdom in some
of those lines. It's fun to dance to, it's fun
to rock to, but yeah, they actually have some really
important things to say sometimes, right, So one last here you.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Go, take it from Kendrick Lamar. We all get distracted.
The question is will you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I'm sure Kendrick's going to be sued over that by
Drake by next weekend.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I'm with that. Folks. We appreciate you. It's been a
fun week for us here. We continue to.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Work, but it has for us and for a lot
of you all open spring break. So we are wrapping
up here on this Friday and heading back to the States.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
All right, well, thank you for running with us, everybody.
I'm Amy Robot and Jay Holmes.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Have a good weekend, have a good holiday weekend. Enjoy
Eastern
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Mm hmmmm mm hmm
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good Friday, morning, everyone,
and welcome to Morning Run. Yes it's Friday, April eighteenth,
and good Friday to Catholics and Christians around the world.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm Ae me Roboch.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
And I'm TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Yeah, Good Friday to Catholics and Christians. Catholics, that's a
one and a half billion of you out there.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Just a few of us, yes, But good Friday. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Growing up, it was Stations of the Cross, it was fasting.
This was always an oxymoron to me.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
To call it good Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
But I actually had to look it up because I
would always ask, why are we calling it good when
we're somber. We're actually honoring or commemorating the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ, And it's because of the sacrifice that gave
us all freedom that happens on Sunday when he rises
from the dead.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So that is why it is called good Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
All right, Well, there you go, folks, We'll give you
that and look forward to our Religion podcast that will
be we're going to be launching Midsummer.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Just getting there.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yes, well you all wherever you may be glad you
are listening to us on this Friday morning.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Ron.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yes, we are going to start a number of headlines,
certainly disturbing ones, this one coming out of Florida. Yes,
we're going to start there on the rundown with a
Florida State student who opened fire on campus, killing.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Two people and wounding six others.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The alleged shooter is the step son of a sheriff's deputy.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
We'll have the latest on that.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes, Also on the run this morning, President Trump wants
the FED chairman fired after his comments on Trump's tariffs
and the economy, but the chairman says he's not going anywhere.
And after all the lawsuits, it is now official the
Supreme Court will decide if Trump can end birthright citizenship
in this country.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Also, Puerto Rico is slowly getting power restored, but nearly
half the island is still in the dark. This morning, plus,
measles is on the move, spreading to Michigan, that state
joining five others with official outbreaks in the country.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And on this Holy Week, Pope Francis must be feeling
pretty good as he continues to go against his wishes,
this time visiting with inmates at a prison in Rome,
and Drake has updated his lawsuits against Kendrick Lamar, saying
Lamar's two biggest nights of his career, the Super Bowl
and the Grammys, are ruining his.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Also on the run this morning, longtime sports broadcaster and
one of the most familiar faces in all of college football,
leek Orso announced he is retiring from ESPN after forty years.
And finally this morning, we may now have proof there
is life on another planet. My favorite story of the
day doing one of my famous deep dives, as you
so appreciate.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
On that story, Rope, I can't wait for that, but
we do have to begin our run. In Tallahassee, Florida,
where a twenty year old Florida State student opened fire
on campus just outside the student center, killing two men
and wounding six others.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Police have identified the alleged shooter. They say it's Phoenix Eichner,
who happens to be the step son of a sheriff's
deputy and used his step mother's former service weapon in
the shooting. The Tallahasset Police chief said officers arrived quickly
to the scene, shot and wounded Eigner. He's in the
hospital in custody. Recovering from non life threatening injuries.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So far, police have only said the two men killed
were not students, but they didn't release the identities or
really any other information about the other victims. It was
another scene of pure terror. The shooting happened around lunchtime.
It was a beautiful day there in Tallahassee, and so
many of the students were outside. It sent them running
hiding for cover all around campus and scarily, witnesses tell
(03:34):
police it could have been even worse.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, this is a wild detail here that several students
say they saw the shooter get out of his car,
initially with a shotgun. That gun, they say, jammed. He
had to go back into the car get another weapon.
That's when he grabbed the handgun and started firing. President
Trump has been briefed on the shooting, told reporters it's
a horrible. Excuse me, It's horrible that things like this
take place, adding that the gun doesn't do the shooting.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The people do well.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Police when they gave the press conference, talked about Eichner's stepmother.
They say that she is a deputy that is highly
regarded who's worked at the Leon County Sheriff's office. For
eighteen years, and she was allowed to keep her service
weapon when it was upgraded to a different one for
personal use, and that is the gun police say Eichner used.
They say that this kid, this twenty year old, had
(04:22):
been involved in training programs at the Sheriff's office, was
a member of its youth Advisory committee. So police were very,
very aware and familiar with this young man. They say
he has been steeped in the Leon County Sheriff's Office family.
So this is personal and this is frightening, and there
are a lot of questions about motive. So far, it's
(04:42):
unclear why this happened and why police say he chose
to do what he did.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
That's tough for campus community.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
We've seen school shootings before so on campuses and just
what it does and to rattle a campus community.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
It's remarkable to me that no student was killed.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
I'd be curious to hear exactly what was going on
if this was targeted to be on a campus to
have a shooting, and to hear the two are dead
and they're not students, could be faculty members for all
we know. We have that part we don't know. That
was remarkable man that campus just gets cheken when something
like this happens.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was, you know, you go in and you start
reading about the eye Winds accounts and what the students
were doing and where they were hiding in freight elevators,
in bowling alleys, I mean, they barricaded doors.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Just terrible. But one young girl that stood out to me.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
She survived the Parkland High School shooting where her seventeen
classmates were killed. And to have gone through that once
in high school and then to find yourself in this
same position again in university is unthinkable. It's unimaginable.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know how you reconcile that and don't take
that with you forever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But just an awful scene there, and thankfully police were
able to get there as quickly as they did. Next
up on the run this morning, President Trump minced no
words describing how he feels about the Federal Reserve chair
Jerome Powell after his comments this week about Trump's tariffs.
Trump writing in a social media post that Powell's termination
cannot come fast enough.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
The words come after Powell made comments about the financial
consequences of Trump's Liberation Day tariffs. Powell suggested that the
Fed would not lower interest rates to offset any downturn
in the economy, saying restraint was the proper way.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Ford Well.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Trump took issue with that and said Powell should be
cutting interest rates like the Europeans have, pointing to the
European Central Bank, which cut its rates by a quarter
percentage point.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So Trump posted this.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
He said, the ECB, that's the European Central Bank, is
expected to cut interest rates for the seventh time, and
yet too late. Jerome Powell of the Fed, who was
always too late and wrong, yesterday issued a report which
was another and typical complete mess.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Trump pointed out that oil prices are down, groceries even
eggs are down, he says, and the US is getting
rich on tariffs.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
He said.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Powell's termination just can't come fast enough. And even though
Trump wants him gone, there is a long standing Supreme
Court ruling from nineteen thirty five that backs up Powell.
He can't just be kicked out by Trump, can't just
fire him, It upheld the Supreme Court did that Congress's
authority to create independent federal agencies like the Federal Reserve,
and board members can only be terminated before their terms
(07:11):
are up for cause.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So Powell has said publicly before that he would not
step down if Trump asked him to, And he pointed
out that under that current law, neither Trump nor any
president for that matter, has the authority to fire or
even demote the FED chair. Trump could always just wait
Powell out. His term as FED chair ends roughly a
year from now. That's May fifteenth, twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Yeah, we continue our run here this morning with President Trump.
Of course, he wants to end birthright citizenship. Now the
Supreme Court will decide if he can. The Justices have
agreed to hear arguments next months over the constitutionality of
President Trump's efforts to overturn a long upheld part of
the US Constitution that any person born on US soil
(07:56):
is a US citizen, despite the nationality or legal status
of the parents.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
President Trump signed that executive order on his first day
in office to end the right, which again is guaranteed
by the Fourteenth Amendment. Lawsuits, says you might imagine, soon followed,
and the administration has lost in each and every lower
court case, some judges making it very clear this is unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on May fifteenth, and
(08:22):
a ruling could come mid summer.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
All right, next leg of our run Texas to Puerto Rico,
where the lights are back on at least for half
of the folks there, following Wednesday's blackout that left the
entire island nation without power.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
The blackout happened on one of the busiest tourist weeks
of the year, leading up to Easter Sunday, and it
was the second major outage to disrupt the island in
a matter of months, the last one happening on New
Year's Eve.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Okay, So, governor officials said, every day that goes on
without electricity is costing the local economy about two hundred
and thirty million dollars in revenue. Business has been forced
to close some tourists. Tourists have left, cutting their vacations short.
So Luma Energy, which is responsible for Puerto Rico's powers,
that the blackout was caused by a combination of things,
(09:07):
including a protection system failure and the presence of vegetation
on a transmission line. Protection system failure. Okay, something went wrong,
and then we had some overgrowth. We didn't have the
gardeners come.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
By trim this.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
They weren't trim and trees or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I'm not really sure what that all means, but initially
more than three hundred thousand residents were also without water,
but at last check, more than eighty percent of customers
who did finally have their normal supply of safe drinking
water restored. Luma Energy has assured residents that ninety percent
of the island should be back up and running by Saturday.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
By tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
We will continue here on this Friday morning run and
measles is on the move at Michigan. Now to a
list of states with an outbreak. More than twenty states
are reporting measles cases, but just six now including Michigan,
have experienced what health officials classify as an outbreak.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Outbreak That sounds terrible, but an outbreak is actually defined
as having three or more related cases. Michigan has seven
so far for the year, and this is the first
measles outbreak the state has experienced since twenty nineteen, and scarily,
it's happening in a county where twenty five percent of
kids under the age of three are not vaccinated against measles.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
All breaks have also been reported in New Mexico, Ohio, Kansas,
Indiana and of course Texas where this all started. Kind
of the crisis of measles in the country this year,
that outbreak seen at least five hundred and sixty of
the seven hundred plus measles cases in the country are
concentrated there in Texas. And yes, two kids have died
of measles too, have been confirmed to have measles, and
(10:41):
both of those children, unfortunately, were unvaccinated.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Next up on our run, Pope Francis just won't listen continues.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
To defy doctors' orders.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Those orders were to take it easy and avoid crowds
as he recovers from that month long stay in the hospital.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, a month long stay where he almost died on
two occasions, at least according to his doctors. But Pope
Friensis just can't help himself now, and it's kind of
endearing for the guy to see him kind of out
there and wanting to be out there. He's been making appearances,
some unannounced during the Holy Week, and his latest stop
yesterday was at a prison in Rome where he met
(11:18):
with about seventy inmates spent about.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Half an hour there.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, this is a prison where he has previously performed
the ritual of washing the feet of twelve people who
are less fortunate, just like Jesus did. Francis told the
group that he wasn't quite up to the task this
year because of his health, but he said he still
wanted to be with them, so he made some impromptu
comments to reporters after the visit and said this, every
time I enter one of these places, I ask myself,
(11:42):
why them and not me? It is certainly heartwarming to
see him out there and doing what the pope.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Is supposed to do. This is his role. He's the
leader of the Catholic Church, but he's also.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
A conduit for good acts and increasing people's faith and
belief in Christianity.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
So it's it is beautiful. I love how you put that.
It was endearing. It is endearing to see him do
what he's doing, and to.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Know at this point he's putting his I mean his health,
and you could argue his life at risk. I mean,
doctors are telling you you just in the hospital for
a month. Dude, you almost died twice. Take it easy,
and he's still going out there. It's quite not to
be morbid. He probably knows how many more Easters does
he have?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Left right. How many more opportunities does he get?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
We've fallen in love with this to a certain degree,
as much as we've been covering him during his health issues.
But stay with us here on this Friday morning run
when we come back. We thought the Drake and Kendrick
Lamar battle was over, but apparently it ain't over until
Drake's lawyers say it's over. Also, college football will never
ever ever look the same. The corso is retiring, and
(12:51):
there is life on another planet. The evidence is there,
we think, all right, folks, we will continue now on
this Friday Morning Ron and Drake continues to bring lawyers
to a rap battle and now has updated his lawsuit
(13:15):
over Kendrick Lamar's disk track. Not like us, what's the update?
Drake claims he was subject to a double dose of
defamation on one hand on Grammy Night and then on
the other hand during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I love that writing, double dose of defamation. That's some
alliteration there. I'm impressed.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
How about this Drake's double dose of defamation?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh there you go.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I like it all right.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, those two nights happened to be the two biggest
nights of Kendrick Lamar's career. When He's not like us,
swept five Grammy categories, and when can I say Katot?
I don't feel like I'm cool enough to say Katot.
Hendrick Lamar performed in front of the largest Super Bowl
halftime audience in history. In this new court filing, Drake
(14:01):
says the high profile events helped promote a false claim
that he was a certified pedophile and introduced new listeners
to the song who don't know any better than to believe.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
What they're hearing.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Also by him filing this lawsuit, I'm hearing more about
him being a certified pedophile, So I don't know if
he's helping him his cause or hurting it.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Okay, Well, according to the lawsuit, the super Bowl was
the first and will hopefully be the last Super Bowl
halftime show orchestrated to assassinate the character of another artist.
Those were the words written by his lawyers in this lawsuit.
This is part of an earlier lawsuit Drake filed against
Universal Music Group, which happens to be his and Kendrick
(14:39):
Lamar's label, claiming it helped promote a song with false claims.
Want to be clear here, this lawsuit names Universal Music group.
Kendrick Lamar himself is not personally named in the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Right, and so Universal Music responded to the latest claims
by first acknowledging their long partnership with Drake, saying, Drake,
unquestionably the world's most accomplished artist and with whom we've
enjoyed a sixteen year successful relationship, is being misled by
his legal representatives into taking one absurd legal step after another.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So it's so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
The company he's in business with he is suing, and
yet they're still praising him while he's suing them.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I also think it's I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Know funny is the right word, but him saying or
his lawyers saying, that they're hoping this will be the
last super Bowl halftime show like this. It was the
most watched super Bowl halftime show correct in history. It
actually in some moments was higher rated than the super
Bowl itself. And he wasn'tful correct, But you tell me
producers aren't gonna want more of that.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
We got a I don't know when we have it.
I love the rap battle and then let rap beef
when they were rapping. I don't like a battle continuing
in court.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Now, now the feelings are hurt. Feelings are hurt.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
That show I did, my feelings would have been hurt too.
We can tell you here on the run with a
legend that is now retiring, we were talking about Lee Corso.
The legend college football is never going to be the same.
He's been a part of college football and the experience
for millions of fans for forty years now.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, for so many fans at home, college football does
not start on Saturdays until Lee Corso makes his prediction
on the set of ESPN's Game Day, And for decades
he's made that prediction in dramatic fashion at the end
of the game day by putting on the team's mascot's headgear.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yah, even if you don't know his name, even if
you don't watch college football religiously, this is the guy. Yes,
at the end of that show, they're waiting who you're
gonna pick for the main game, and he asks them
to hand him whatever head of the team, and that's
how he predicts, and then.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He waves, it's just cool.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
We He've been doing this since nineteen eighty five when
he started that tradition, and it's going away because he
announced yesterday he's retiring. August thirtieth is going to be
his last broadcast. He's actually ninety years always going to
turn in August. Been at ESPN for forty years. He's
had some health issues previous years, the stroke in two
thousand and nine, but he recovered, could continue to work,
but he hasn't traveling as much in recent years, has
(17:01):
had some health issues. But that's going to be a
tough one. This is just a special part of all
of college football.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It is absolutely, as they say, is an end of
an era. But you know, I was just struck by
the fact that he kind of started making his mark
at the age of fifty. I mean, if he turns
ninety in August, he's been with ESPN for forty years.
I think that's cool for anyone of any age, just
to realize you can actually kind of hit your heyday
and then have forty years doing it, starting at the
(17:27):
age of fifty. I think that's a very cool story
for a lot of reasons, and he will certainly Collise.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
She was a college and a pro coach. Yep play,
Oh my goodness, is it Florida State. He played college football.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
For some reason, Florida state is coming to mind. But yeah,
he had a career in the sport and then he
became a legend in the sport by not even participating
in it other than in the broadcast. So very cool
story too. I love that and all those predictions. They
kept up with it over the years. His record in
predicting with those mascot heeads two hundred and eighty six
(17:59):
and one hundred forty four is his record.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Wow is that good? I mean I would imagine that's
pretty dang good for Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeh, it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
It just funny that they kept.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Up with it and not so fast, my friend, do
you have that?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
What his line?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Not so fast?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Anytime somebody would make a prediction and they think was
really smart and he would challenge it. He not so fast,
my friend. It's been his thing. So oh, he's gonna
be missed.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well for the final leg of our run.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
A huge and potentially historic headline that could alter life
as we know it.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
A group of researchers say they have found.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
The strongest evidence yet of alien life.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But other scientists say, take that headline with the galactic
size grain of salt. But I'm bomb still and what's
being called a quote revolutionary moment a joint US British
team of scientists at the Cambridge Institute of Astronomy. I
only mention that because they sound super duper smart.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
When so smart?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Okay, So they released their findings yesterday that showed the
first hints of an alien world that is currently inhabited. Woo,
ropes is big. This is everything. We just finally solved it.
There is life out there.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You just said inhabit it. That's a strong word right now.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So studying a planet known as K two eighteen B.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Wow, that's a sexy name.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
The scientists say they have detected particular gases in the
atmosphere and those gases are known to be produced only
by living organisms. So K two eighteen B is a
planet two and a half times the size of Earth. Wow,
and is one hundred and twenty four light years away.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
How far is that.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
You couldn't get there in a lifetime. You couldn't travel
there in your own lifetime, no matter how far too.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It just can't do it.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So it's far.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So that's the only point we're making.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
So it's a planet that appears as robes just saying,
there it's two and a half times the size of Earth,
but it has oceans and it is in a so
called Goldilocks zone. What does that mean? It's not too
close or too far from a star or a sun.
In other words, it's like the Earth, and that it
has the temperature that can s life. That's awesome, this
(20:02):
is where we are. We could stop the story right
there and just be excited about it. However, there's some
other astronomers and researchers out there who are saying, Robes,
you need to hold your celestial horses.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You were just so clever and you're riding on this one.
I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
A galactic sized grain of salt and celestial horses, all right.
They say there is not nearly enough evidence, and that
evidence needs to be peer reviewed. Plus, even if the
readings are correct and those gases are in fact in
the atmosphere, there might be some other and other worldly
explanation for why those gases are there that has absolutely
(20:37):
nothing to do with the living organism.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So that's kind of like taking the wind out of
the sails there, like wah wah.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean, we can hope it's exciting the thought of
more research is needed. They need what one to two
more years to study the findings.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
They have to go through and analyze and allies. But
the researchers are saying themselves, this isn't Yes, we know
what we have right now isn't definitive, but we are
going to now take this study. It give us one
to two years and we're going to be able to
give a definitive answer of whether or not that is
life right now on this planet.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Wow, but like microbial life, correct, not like advanced life.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Again, you keep want want one this thing. No, they're
not flying around up there. That's not what we're seeing.
But the idea that we can prove that there is
life beyond the planet is remarkable. Yes, jeezy.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
All right, Well, on this good Friday, we would like
to leave you with this as you go about your day.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It is our quote of the day.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
We all get distracted.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
The question is will you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I like that quote.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
It makes short and sweet, to the point simple. Everybody
can understand that need for no explanation. Yeah, we get
just what are we doing when we get taken off
our course, off the goal, off the mission and you
start finding yourself going the wrong direction.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, so you can either I love that you can
either bounce back or bounce backwards.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That is very to the point. So when you're feeling
that way and guess who guess guess who said this
wise quote? The uh well, I guess I can say
ka doot now Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I found that and I just thought it was really cool,
given he's in the headlines once again. And actually so
many rappers are basically poets, you know, they are wise.
There is a lot of really cool wisdom in some
of those lines. It's fun to dance to, it's fun
to rock to, but yeah, they actually have some really
important things to say sometimes, right, So one last here you.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Go, take it from Kendrick Lamar. We all get distracted.
The question is will you bounce back or bounce backwards?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I'm sure Kendrick's going to be sued over that by
Drake by next weekend.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I'm with that. Folks. We appreciate you. It's been a
fun week for us here. We continue to.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Work, but it has for us and for a lot
of you all open spring break. So we are wrapping
up here on this Friday and heading back to the States.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
All right, well, thank you for running with us, everybody.
I'm Amy Robot and Jay Holmes.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Have a good weekend, have a good holiday weekend. Enjoy
Eastern
Speaker 1 (23:07):
