Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It's Monday,
October sixth. I'm Amy Robock. Happy birthday to Eric Robock
and t Holmes.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes I'm TJ. Holmes. Not my birthday, but yes our people,
your brother and my dad share a birthday, So happy
birthday to the two of them today. I'm sure knowing
how we know them, parties well underway. But this morning
on this Morning Run, hope you had a good weekend.
Bad Bunny had a good weekend. He's been having a
good few weeks, but this was highly anticipated. He nailed it.
(00:38):
I mean this was fun to watch if you didn't see.
Bad Bunny hostedt SNL and of course he had to
mention a few things. Robes will get into what he said.
Then the box office this weekend, the biggest movie star
in the world over the weekend happens to be a singer,
Taylor Swift. She also cannot stop winning.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Everything she touches turns to gold or platinum, as they
say in the music industry.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
But over the weekend, this is a little disappointing from
a guy we love, no one love, But another big
time Star had a movie that some are saying bombed
at least according to expectations over the weekend. But it's
a movie he is getting Oscar buzz for, so we'll
see how that's going to turn out. Also, you air travelers,
big change from American Airlines, a change in your carry
(01:22):
on bag policy, and it probably is not going to
affect you one bit. When I saw the headline, I
thought one thing. But then when you read into it,
what did you think?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I thought that it could cause more problems because things
are now being allowed to the discretion of the gate agent.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, so there you go, folks, we'll explain all that.
And a weird story over the weekend. A former NFL
quarterback and a current of Fox Sports analysts for the NFL.
We got word he had been stabbed over the weekend,
and then the story got weirder because he's the one
now facing charges. We'll explain this incident. And the President
has a new media target this time is Reverend Al Sharpton.
(02:02):
He went after him this weekend and also once again
using the threat that licenses should be taken away by
the FCC. Woo. So here we go with that, But
as always folks on that screen of yours now on
that phone the Apple podcast app. Just click top right button.
It says, follow where you see our show page. You
can get all our updates coming right too. You don't
(02:23):
have to go looking for him, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Also on the run this morning, a mass shooting in
Alabama's capital city, an effort underway as we speak to
rescue hundreds of people on Mount Everest. Votes on Capitol
Hill today, But are they going to end the shutdown?
Short answer, probably not. And a woman was shot by
federal agents in Chicago. Two girls are dead after apparently
subway surfing here in New York, the unthinkable. In Texas,
(02:48):
a woman charged accues of shooting her four young children,
killing two of them. A college on lockdown this weekend
after not one but two shootings, and peace talks start
today between and Hummas. But we begin our run this
morning in Washington, where we are on day six of
the government shutdown, and all indications are we're going to
(03:09):
get a day seventy Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Senate is scheduled to vote on two different versions of
the bills that could end the shutdown. One of those
bills backed by Democrats, another bill backed by Republicans, both
of them are expected to fail. Both sides spent the
weekend and especially Sunday morning talk shows where there's a
lot of politics going on just blaming each other back
and forth for the shutdown. So don't know that there's
(03:32):
no end insight is what we could report. We try
to just lead with that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
That should be the story, right, just an update, but
so far zero headway made. All right, next up on
the run that is not the case, hopefully In this
next story, negotiators from Israel and Hamas are in Egypt
today for peace talks. There is cautious optimism that this
could be it the talks that finally lead to an
end of the two year conflict that began October seventh,
(03:57):
twenty twenty three anniversaries. Wow. Yeah. They will be discussing
President Trump's proposed twenty point peace plan.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu has already signaled that he's
on board. He's made that known he was visiting the
White House last week. Hamas has signaled there at least
open to the plan. The plan calls for the release
of the remaining forty eight hostages, twenty of them believed
to still be Alive also calls for hamas to disarm.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Next up on the Run. A federal judge this weekend
blocked President Trump from sending Oregon National Guard troops to
patrol the streets of Portland, So the President tried to
get around that, but the judge blocked that effort too,
and was none too pleased with the president's well just maneuverings.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yes, this is my favorite story of the weekend, because
the judge granted a temporary restraining order that blocked the
President from sending Oregon National Guard to the streets of Portland.
So Trump said, cool, I'll just reassign California National Guard
troops and send them to Portland instead, since the judge's
ruling only applied specifically to Oregon National Guard, but then
(05:01):
California suit and in a Sunday telephone hearing, the judge
put this question to the administration lawyers, aren't defendant simply
circumventing my order?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes, that was a rhetorical question. I believe the President
claims he has the lawful authority to do this, and
it's necessary to bring order to the streets of Portland,
where there have been protests for months. Outside of ice offices.
There have been sporadic clashes, but mostly overwhelmingly non violent clashes.
So there's a lot of argument that there's no need
for this, that that could only that could perhaps make
(05:34):
things worse rather than better.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
There is no armed uprising in Portland. We've seen one
before in Washington, but this is not that. Continuing on
our run here now, President Trump has a new target
for FCC scrutiny, Reverend Al Sharpton. Apparently the President didn't
like something Sharpton said or was doing on his MSNB
MSNBC show over the weekend, and then the President let
(05:58):
it be known.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yes, and the media post we will warn you is
a doozy per usual. I knew l. Sharpton for many years,
not that it matters, but he was a major Trump fan.
He'd asked me to go to his fake rallies all
the time because I brought big crowds and he couldn't
get anybody to come without me. He goes on to
say that MSNBC is afraid to take him off because
it wouldn't be politically correct. This is just one of
(06:21):
the many reasons that the Federal Communications Commission should look
into the license of NBC which shows almost exclusively positive
Democrat content. Likewise, ABC fake news about the same thing,
ninety seven percent negative to Republicans. And he added a
very old, unflattering picture of Sharpton to a company his
(06:42):
social media post. And yeah, but we do have to
take these things seriously, as we kind of laugh at
his tone, but truly threatening. That is very serious business.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
We've seen the consequences of him threatening it and what
ended up happening. As a heads up, the FCC generally
does not regulate cable networks, but of course they're in
Wait a minute, what's the split with NBC? Now? Now
those companies are being they're separate. They are now, so
there's now nothing he can do.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't think so, in correct.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, that's a good point generally speaking. Continuing on the run,
now we're head to Chicago. Woman there was shot over
the weekend by a federal agent. The woman is facing charges.
This incident happened in the Brighton Park neighborhood in the
southwest part of the city. Authority say agents were patrolling
the neighborhood when their vehicles became boxed in by up
to ten other cars.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
The woman, who authority say was armed with the gun,
rammed her car into a federal agent's vehicle, and that's
when the agent fired at her. She drove off and
was caught a short time later. She and another man
are facing charges of forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with
a federal law enforcement officer.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
We'll turn now to Montgomery, Alabama, where there was another
disturbing shooting incident there. This was a mass shooting. Two
people are dead twelve others injured in an incident described
by authorities as basically two parties shooting at each other
in the middle of a crowd. This happened not long
after and not far from the Tuskegee Versus Moorhouse rivalry
(08:11):
football game there this weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And the two people who were killed were a forty
three year old woman and a seventeen year old boy.
Police say multiple people were firing at each other in
the middle of the crowd and people got caught in
the crossfire. Five of the wounded are said to have
life threatening injuries, and no arrests have been made.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Still don't care who they hit. They're in a fight.
They're in a gun fight, and just shooting in the
middle of the crowd. At each other. So this was
targeted between two groups, they say. We turned to South
Carolina State University. Now, it was on lockdown this weekend
after two separate shootings on campus that left one woman
dead and one man injured.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Police have made an arrest in connection with one of
the shootings, but continued to investigate. The woman who was
killed was just nineteen years old.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Now we got to turn to New York. Now back
here where another disturbing story involving young people die. New
York police say two girls are dead from apparently subway surfing.
The girls reportedly teenagers, and I saw a report this
morning from a local affiliate road that one of them
was a young as thirteen.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
That's why they keep calling them girls. They were girls, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
These two girls were found dead on top of the
subway car on Saturday. To be specific, it was the
Jay train in Brooklyn. Now, if you don't know, and
robes is a bigger thing here in cities that don't
have subways, most do not, but this is a huge
thing here is in New York. They've been trying to
cut down on You get on yes, folks, you get
on top of a subway and take a video essentially
(09:37):
of yourself doing it, and a lot of people have
been posting this stuff online, starting a trend, and authorities
of begging everybody please stop this.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, and you want to hear some sobering numbers here,
at least eighteen suspected subway surfing deaths in twenty twenty
three and twenty twenty four in New York alone. There
have been three other subway surfing deaths in the city
this year. So this is from the head of New
York Transit and this is a sobering sentence, but it
is very important, and this is what they're dealing with.
(10:05):
This is serious stuff. Parents, teachers, and friends need to
be clear with loved ones. Getting on top of a
subway car isn't surfing. Its suicide. And that is certainly
what we've seen here in the last several.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Years, some of the videos. I'm not saying videos we've
watched online that TikTok stuff and then posting them, but
police have these video I've been using drones here to
try to cut down on this. When you see this
subway and people standing on it, on top of it, like,
what is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
They think they're tom cruise in mission impossible.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, he has all kind of safety harnesses and cruise
around to make sure he's okay. This is this is
a nuts one. Okay, we'll continue on the run here. Now.
This is a story just unimaginable. Out of Texas, a
mother has been charged with shooting her four young children,
killing two of them. Police believe her name is thirty
one year old on Ninda Romulus, but they believe she
(10:59):
shot the four kids in her vehicle, which they discovered
at a gas station.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
This is just I honestly feel physically ill saying this.
A thirteen year old boy a three year three year
old girl were both killed. A nine year old girl
and an eight year old boy were also shopped. They
are said to be in stable condition today. The woman's
bond has been She's been charged with two counts of
murder and two counts of aggravated assault. Her bond to
set it fourteen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No word what this was about, Why what was going on?
This is it's unimaginable.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's also unimaginable that it's not a murder suicide. If
you were capable of doing that and then wanted to live,
that just blows my mind beyond all reasons.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The whore in a car, right, the kids can't rer
connadic cap But yeah, we just wanted to update hate
It to include that one. But that's a big story
making a lot of headlines this morning. Also on the run,
headlines about former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst
Mark Sanchez. He was stabbed this weekend, but he's the
(12:02):
one right now facing chargers after an incident. A lot
of people still trying to get their heads around.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Row that's right. Police say Sanchez was the aggressor in
a confrontation with a sixty nine year old truck driver
in an alley in downtown Indianapolis. According to police, Sanchez
reportedly reeked of alcohol when he confronted the man about
where his truck was parked. The man, by the way,
was just delivering. He was doing what he was supposed
to do. He was at work and he was a
(12:27):
delivery driver, So.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Don't understand why this got started. But the man said
he feared Sanchez was trying to kill him and pulled
out his knife to defend himself. Sanchez has now been
charged with three misdemeanors. He was in town to call
a game on Sunday. He did not, of course, participate
in that. But police say they have video of this
thing and they see Sanchez dragging the man out the car,
out the truck, throw him to the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
They say they have an an disputable according to them.
All right, Next up on the run. Rescues are underway
right now for nearly one thousand climbers on Mount Everest.
There was a huge snowstorm that hit several camp sites
on Friday and a left folks stranded and in need
of rescue YEA.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
As of this recording, at least three hundred and fifty
people have been reportedly rescued so far. They're at about
sixteen thousand feet. Hundreds of rescuers are involved in this now.
I don't know what sixteen thousand feet means.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I do. It's you know, you can't look. I don't
know how long they've been there. I don't know how
much they've been acclimatized. But that is certainly you lose oxygen.
You're not at one hundred percent oxygen. You need water
like very much so, because you are quickly dehydrated, and
certainly elevation can get you at that point.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
But to think that mean they're in touch with them
as just a matter of time at this point. But
the snowstorm came and but they got to get to them.
How do you have to start over? Do you get
to a safer spot, wait for the storm and then
people can continue with their journey.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yes, I mean that is the idea. And look, the
longer you can stay at certain elevations, you can your
body can regulate itself with the oxygen at that But
at that point you know your oxygen is definitely not
what it should be. Certainly you can't stay up there forever.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
All right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this
Monday morning run when we come back, a change and
carry on luggage policy at one airline, But is it
really going to make a difference at all? Also, as
we said, Taylor swift number one at the box office,
but the one disappointment at the box office for a
huge star who's getting Oscar buzz and bad Bunny doing
(14:27):
his thing once again. Yes, he addressed the big Super
Bowl backlash, and he did it in English and Spanish.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Welcome back everyone to this Monday morning run. And next
up on the run, American Airlines making a change related
to your carry on luggage. We're not sure how we
feel about it. Yet here's what they're doing. They're removing
those metal bag sizers at the gate and that starts today.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Have you used these things, i'.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think i've ever had anyone. I've seen other people
have to put it in, but I don't think i've
faced that.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Because we carry proper double bags.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I try to make sure, yes, before I purchase one,
that it is carry on.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Sizeze Okay, So yes, yes, those things sometimes that some
of you maybe that some gate agents said, hey, put
your bag in there, it looks a little big. Well,
they're not going to have those anymore at the gates. Now,
this doesn't necessarily mean you're now allowed to start carrying
larger carry on bags. Rather, this is an effort to
improve the boarding process. So instead of haggling over the
(15:32):
size of the bag with passengers, the gate agent, they say,
will air on the side of the passenger. Okay, but
still the gay agent has this.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
But now that we've been told that that's what the
passenger is always right instead of the customer is always right,
I could see that maybe being a bit of an issue.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Right now people are going to be dragging golf clubs
and say, hey, it'll fit, but where's your metal sizer? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I think I say it'll fit, so it'll fit. Yeah,
I don't know how that's going to go, all right?
Next up on the Ron, Taylor Swift just can't stop winning.
Her movie was number one at theaters this weekend. The
official release party of A Show Girl made thirty three
million dollars at the box office over the weekend. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The film was dubbed a cinematic experience and it was
only announced two weeks ago as a companion to her
new album. This is the second time she's top the
box office. The Aras Tour that film opened to ninety
three million dollars back in twenty twenty three. The other
notable box office note and it's not a good one
for a guy. We have a lot of affinity for
Dwayne Johnson. The Smash Smashing Machine had a disappointing open
(16:38):
this weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, it only made ooh six million dollars and opened
at number three this weekend. That is a career low
for him. It's definitely, I mean, disappointing is kind of
an understatement, but it look, this had oscar buzz. It
was He's been highly acclaimed for a dramatic roll, a
shift from what we're used to seeing him in. And
perhaps maybe it was just the appeal of the movie itself.
(17:00):
It's dark, it's a drama. It might not have been
the mood people were in it didn't I mean, hopefully,
I mean it doesn't seem as of the box office
results reflected the quality of the film. The acting. Emily
Blunts in there as well, I mean, big major stars
who are incredible actors. And look, just because it didn't
do well at the box office doesn't mean it won't be,
you know, still oscar worthy, and perhaps that'll make more
(17:22):
people want to go see it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I want to see him. This movie doesn't necessarily appeal
to me, but I want to see his role in it.
I can't wait. But to your point about it being
dramatic role that some are saying is probably why didn't Well,
we're used to seeing him blow shit up.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You know what people say, stay in your lane. I
mean this might be an exact example.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
So we applaud him for lane. This is awesome.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yes, And by the way, the Leo DiCaprio movie, One
Battle after Another made ten point three million coming in
second place, behind of course Tata.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
All Right, so yes, Taylor Swifts can't stop winning. Bad
Bunny can't stop winning either. Yes, our final leg of
the run this morning, after the wildly successful residency he
had in Puerto Rico. Then after being named as next
year's Super Bowl halftime performer, last night, Bad Bunny hosted
the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And in case you're wondering, yes, he addressed the backlash
two jokes in particular. Doing so, he said, you might
not know this, but I'm doing the Super Bowl halftime
show and I'm very happy, and I think everyone is
happy about it, even Fox News. And then it was
really cute. They rolled a clip where they had spliced
together in a hilarious way, basically word for word, like
Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, he should be the
(18:31):
next president. It was just funny.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
It was a good edit. It was a really good edit. Also,
another good moment, so when he delivered a message in
Spanish and then said this, if you don't understand what
I just said, you have four months to learn.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
That's a good That was funny. That was very funny.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
With everything that's going on, everybody's telling folks who don't
speak English from somewhere else to assimilate. And his message
was you got four months to catch up. I thought
that was a great, great joke. Now the white holes,
of course, had something to say about This was a
pretty typical administration reaction to Bad Bunnies monologue. A spokesperson say, quote,
reacting to this will require me to waste my time
(19:08):
watching it, And like the millions of Americans who have
tuned out from SNL, I have more entertaining things to do,
like watch paint Dry.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
That's on brand. Yeah, on brand, love that so much.
All right, We would like you to consider this as
you go about your day today. It is our quote
of the day. If you tell the truth, it becomes
part of your past. If you lie, it becomes part
of your future. This comes to us from coach Rick Patino.
Man really yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Right, Patilla, if you lie becomes a part of your future.
The thing always here is is man, lying is so
hard because you got to keep up with all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You got to keep remembering what your lie was. But
if you tell the truth, you can put it to rest.
You can deal with the consequences which are inevitable because
almost always the truth comes out. So yes, if you
tell the truth, you can put it behind you. But
if you lie, it is something you were going to
be dru and dealing with for years to come.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Ain't that the truth?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
See how I made that basketball reference?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, that's what sports people do. They want credit for
making sports references.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I love that though. It was so cool to hear
us from coach Rick Patino. It was in his book.
So if you tell the truth, it becomes part of
your past. If you lie, it becomes part of your future.
Think about that before you make a decision. I made me, Robock,
thanks for listening to us.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And I'm TJ. Holmes. We might try to do all
coach quotes for the week. I'm going to challenge you
with that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Now, all right, all right, challenge accept it?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
All right with that, folks, I always appreciate you running
with us with doctor Elson.
