Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Ron. It's Monday, June sixteenth.
I'm Amy Robox and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I am TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
And relief this morning that the largest manhunt in Minnesota
state history is over. Police caught the man accused of
shooting and killing Minnesota's top democrat and her husband, and the.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Death toll is rising in the Middle East as the
deadliest engagement in decades between Iran and Israel escalates, and
President Trump pulled off his multi million dollar military parade
on his seventy ninth birthday despite the weather and plenty
of criticism, and.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
A lot of his critics were in the streets, millions
of them in fact, at no King rallies all over
the country. But those rallies that were mostly peaceful, one
of them did turn deadly a protest in Utah, and
authority say things could have been far worth.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Coincidence or not. President Trump said he is stepping up
immigration raids in some of the very cities that had
the biggest anti Trump rollies this weekend. Meantime, Trump is
in Canada this morning attending the G seven conference in
a room with all those leaders he just slapped with
new terrafts.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Also on the run this morning. A big question at
the start of the sixth week of the Diddy trial.
Will the judge remove a juror he sure sounds like
he wants to. Also, guess who showed up at the
trial Friday. Kanye West and he was in and out
of there in about a half hour plus.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
A philanthropic and business legend, the man responsible for many
of the products we women use every single day, Leonard
Lauder has died at the age of ninety two. And
another big weekend at the box office where remakes continue
to come out on top.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And also proof this morning that it doesn't matter how
you start, It really doesn't matter how you're finished. Because
things got ugly at the start of the US Open yesterday,
but at the end a dramatic finish and a first
ever major for a kid you are going to be
rooting for after this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, great US Open. It was ugly. Rain on these
coasts was nasty and.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
They're squeeging the greens. But it was fun to see
how he came out on top. We'll get to all
of that in just a moment, but yes, we begin
our run in Minnesota, where the manhunt is over. The
suspect wanted for shooting and killing Minnesota's top Democrat was
captured overnight after a massive two day search.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Vans Bolter is the name. He was taken into custody
without incident last night in the woods where he'd fled.
He's charged now with two counts of murder and two
counts of attempted murder.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Police say he went to the home of the state's
top Democrat House speaker, Melissa Hortman, and shot and killed
her and her husband. Then they say he went to
the home of another Democratic state lawmaker, John Hoffman, shot
him and his wife. They miraculously both survived.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, Hoffman's wife if that was actually texting with Democratic
state senator, not state center, but Federal Senator Kolbachar, she's
been closed, of course, a legislator there. She knows everybody
in that state, so sure enough she's friends with the
folks here. Anyvett, the woman in the hospital is texting
Senator Klovichar and Senator's message in part it said John
(03:12):
is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every
hour to being out of the woods. He took nine
bullet hits. I took eight, and we are both incredibly
lucky to be alive.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That is remarkable. Police say the man post as a
police officer. When he went into the lawmakers' homes, they
found a list of seventy names, including prominent state and
federal lawmakers, and police have not yet mentioned what his
motive may have been.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
One other note here that the AP is reporting that
the suspects sent this text message to his friends after
the shootings quote I'm going to be gone for a while,
may be dead shortly, so I just want to let
you know I love you guys. I wish it hadn't
gone this way in quote. So a lot of questions
about the most there, But that was a scary I mean,
(04:02):
you hear the details initially when we first did, but
then to think the guy was still on the run for.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Quite a while.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Wow, and frightening that he was able to enter those
homes by claiming to be a police officer. Yeah, it
is frightening, and thank goodness he is now captured. Next
up on a run, We're going to turn to the
Middle East, where Iran and Israel spent the weekend lobbing
missiles at one another and with deadly results. At least
two hundred and twenty four killed in Iran, twenty four
in Israel, and hundreds of others injured on both sides.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
This conflict erupted Friday when Israel launched preemptive strike starting
is Iran's nuclear program, killing top generals and the country's
top nuclear scientists. Auran retaliated soon after, launching hundreds of
missiles into Israel, targeting infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That tit for tat continued all weekend, including this morning,
where an Iranian attack has resulted in the deaths of
eight Israelis first, this is the first direct and deadliest
engagement between these two countries in decades.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Our next leg of our run takes us to Washington,
d C. Where President Trump's multimillion diar dollar military parade
took place over the weekend, celebrating the armies two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary. It was also President Trump's seventy ninth birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Trump told the crowd it was about time America celebrated
its victory, saying that's what we're doing tonight. Trump kept
his speech mostly nonpartisan and very pro American, saying time
in again America's enemies have learned that if you threatened
the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. Your defeat
will be certain, your demise will be total and complete,
(05:30):
because our soldiers never give up, never surrender, and never
ever quit.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And of course, this huge show of military prowess, despite
the uncooperative weather, featured thousands of troops, tanks, helicopters, military
bombers all on display. The parade itself started thirty minutes
early to try to beat some of the worst weather,
and drizzle began as the military tanks began to roll
along Constitution Avenue, and some of the planned flyovers actually
had to be canceled.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Trump watched all the festivities from a viewing stand alongside
First Lady Milania Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. After Trump
finished speaking, the crowd broke out into a chorus of
Happy Birthday to the President. A lot of folks though
not happy about this military display, saying it cost taxpayers.
We don't it's a pretty big range, but they're saying
anywhere from twenty five to forty five million dollars to
(06:18):
put on this parade probably.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Had to be doubled because of all the pontoons and
the umbrellas and the rain gear they had to use
for all this stuff. We continue on the run now.
While Trump's military parade rolled down Constitution Avenue, protesters gathered
and marched down city streets across the country holding no
Kings rallies. The ACLU, which helped organize the protests, said
more than five million people participated in more than twenty
(06:42):
one hundred rallies.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, the rallies were mostly peaceful. There were only a
few outbreaks of violence, including a deadly confrontation in Utah,
which we'll have more details on in just a moment.
But in Los Angeles, the National Guard marines and full
combat gear, along with Homeland Security officers and police, faced
off against hundreds of pro testers who were shouting at
troops in both English and Spanish to.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Go home and in front of the Federal Building in
downtown LA police were on horseback they had to actually
charge to the crowd, hitting some with their rods and batons,
firing tear gas into the crowd. Authorities say they were
only responding to protesters throwing rocks, bricks, bottles, and fireworks
at officials. Hundreds gathered in DC to protest Trump, carrying
(07:24):
signs and marching towards the White House. There were even
a larger than life puppet of Trump that was willed
through the streets. It was wearing a crown and was
sitting on a golden.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Toilet, making quite the statement. There and in New York,
we saw several of the demonstrations take place, a big
show of force, but pretty incredibly, the NYPD said, while
fifty thousand people were demonstrating, there were no arrests and
no incidents related to the No King's protest. That is
pretty incredible. However, in Utah, a No King's rally did
(07:54):
turn deadly. A volunteer who was part of a peacekeeping
team shot at a man who was pointing an assault
rifle at a crowd of demonstrators. He hit him, but
killed a bystander.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, the man was brandishing the rifle. His twenty four
year old Arturial Gamboa was arrested and charged with murder
because police say he created the situation that led to
the bystander's death. Police are investigating the peacekeeper, but officials
believe he may have prevented a much larger mass casualty.
(08:26):
Gamboa has no criminal history and only suffered minor injuries.
Right now, police don't know what his motive may have been.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Here's what happened. According to police, Gamboa left the crowd
of protesters he was marching with them around eight pm
on Sunday, and then he moved behind a wall and
took out his assault rifle. Two peacekeeping volunteers who were
wearing neon green vest noticed Gamboa and confronted him with
handguns they had brought with them. That's when they saw
Gamboa raise his rifle into firing position and he started
(08:55):
running towards the crowd.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
One of the volunteers fired three shots, hitting Gamboa and
the bystander, who was a thirty nine year old man
from Samoa. Police recovered an AR fifteen style rifle, a
gun mask, and a backpack from the scene.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, so they said, while volunteer peace keeping teams are common,
they're definitely told not to bring any sort of weapon,
But these two guys did anyway, and certainly they believe
despite them telling them not to bring guns, that might
have actually prevented something even far worse.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But how could he not face charges? I mean, is
he signed something that they indemnify it with they say
he's not supposed to bring a weapon.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He prevented what we.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Think as a potential tragedy, but a man is dead
because of his.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So yes, all we know right now is pol police
are investigating, and it seems like likely there would be
some sort of charge because he, yes, was instructed not
to bring a gun, and yet the situation unfolded as
it did all right. Next on our run, President Trump
said he wants to step up immigration rates in some
of those very cities that had the biggest anti Trump
rallies over the weekend. In his words, he wants to
(09:59):
achieve the very very important goal of delivering the single
largest mass deportation program in history.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
So how exactly, mister President, are you going to do that?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And his words, this is what he wrote, and I quote,
we must expand efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens
in America's largest cities such as La Chicago, and New York,
where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside. These and
other such cities are the core of the Democrat power center,
where they use illegal aliens to expand their voter based
(10:30):
cheat and elections and grow the welfare state, robbing good
paying jobs and benefits from hardworking American citizens. Wow, that's
just so divisive. It's just that's time.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I was going to go with incendiary but divisive. Either
one works. The President did signal in recent days that
his immigration crackdown was having a negative impact on the
hotel and farm industries, and suggested he might be giving
or be willing to give those industries a break from
his immigration crackdown. We shall see. It's all confusing and
(11:03):
very scary for a lot of folks.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That's a weird acknowledgment that his policies are actually hurting
two industries hotel and farming, which often do depend on
workers from other places, correct, and not Americans. He's acknowledging
and looks like he's willing to give them a break
at least. We do want to continue here, though, with
presidents on a trip right now. He's visiting our soon
to be fifty first state. Yes, Canada, haha, he got
(11:28):
there late yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
He's there for the G seven summit.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yes, it's happening in a remote resort town in the
Canadian Rockies in Alberta. Should be a great time. Trump
is in the same room. Just imagine this with all
the world leaders he's hit with tariffs over the past
several months. In addition to the global economy, top of
agenda will be several crises, the war in Gaza, the
war in Ukraine, and of course now this growing conflict
between Israel and Iran. So there was certainly a lot
(11:52):
of work to do at that summit.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I put this here at the bottom because I always
it takes me a second to remember when the g
seven countries. I mean, you see it in front of
you now, but it would have taken me a moment.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I always forget Italy.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Get Italy.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh, I'm sure they love to hear that. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
uk US.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But we promise you Italy, you are number one on
our list. We love Italy, we love going to Italy.
All right, stay with us here on this Monday morning run.
When we come back, folks, it is looking to be
another interesting, explosive and maybe even surprising day in the
Diddy trial because we might for the first time have
a juror sent home. Also, a legend for women and
(12:34):
also just a legend in philanthropy has passed away at
the age of ninety two. We'll get into that. And also,
I hope you didn't miss what was an absolutely thrilling
end to the US Open. We had a first time
winner and he made a sixty four butt to win.
(12:59):
We continue now Monday morning. Run up next the Diddy trial.
The sixth week of testimony gets underway this morning and
Lower Manhattan. The big question robes is will a juror
be dismissed?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It sure seems like the judge wants to kick Juror
number six off this jury because of inconsistent statements the
juror has given about where he actually lives full time.
The juror is a forty one year old black man
from the Bronx, but he claims to split his time
between New Jersey and New York. But if his primary
residence is in New Jersey, as in where he pays taxes,
(13:29):
he is not eligible to be on this journey.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
The judge wrapped court Friday seemingly to clearly signal he
was going to dismiss this juror. The juror has been
the subject of some back and forth between the judge
and the attorneys for about a week now, but the
judge said this on Friday. There are serious questions about
the jurors candor and the juror's ability to follow the
court's instructions.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
End quote.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That sounds strangely like can you even pay attention and
listen and do what you're.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Told to do?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It sounds like it's more than just where he lives.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, that might be something else, what's going on here?
The judge later said that he'd still though, even after
strongly saying that it's required that this juror is removed,
He said he would listen to arguments before making a
final decision.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Probably trying to help out on that potential appeal that
could be coming with that. Meanwhile, court wrapped Friday with
testimony from Jonathan Perez, who worked for Shan Combs for
three years right up until Diddy's arrest in September of
last year. Perez also testified under an immunity deal, and
here's a couple of highlights from his testimony. He said, notably,
he never saw did he be violent with a woman
(14:33):
or anyone else?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You said, notably, because it seems like everybody has gotten
up and said they seem something violent. He's next to
him for three years, said he didn't see a thing. Also,
this witness said he was responsible for setting up freak
off rooms, but he said it was something.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That he only did.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It was about one percent of his work, so it
wasn't a big deal to him.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
At least.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
He says he never saw Jane, who spent the past
week testifying, never saw her upset or hesitant to participate
in any of these hotel nights. The prosecution still says
it expects to rap its case this week as early
as Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And as if this trial needed any more surprises, Yee
showed up at court Friday. Ye yes, oh, it's Yay
You know what I do that all the time. Of
course it's Kanye yay Wow. That is so embarrassing, Yes,
Kanye yay West. I see it written as why I
do this all the time. I'm sorry, sorry, dow sir.
(15:27):
What all right? Kanye was arrived in all white to
the courthouse Friday with one of Diddy's sons.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
People were wondering, why is Ye here? Why did Ye
come before us today? So Ye was there to support
his friend in his time of need, and see he
only supported him for about a half hour though he
went in They said he was only there for about
forty minutes, because as big of the Stars is, the
Federal court doesn't give a damn who you are. Your
(15:54):
name has to be on a designated list in order
to get into the actual courtroom.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
They said.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He went into an overfull flow room for a little
while and then he was out of there.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's the end of the story. This is supposed to
be a short read, but you turned it into us.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, you know, are you trying to tell me that
Versace is actually Versace is actually versace. It's like that
thing that we all do.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's for sase Andagma.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's erme's erme's all right, yes, all right? Next up
on the Run The World, oh has lost one of
its greatest philanthropists and businessmen. Leonard Lauder, the former head
of cosmetics company giant Estae Lauder and the co founder
of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, has died at the
age of ninety two.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Ninety two and what a life. Announcing his desk, his
brother Ronald said this about Laurie, says impact will be
filled with generations to come thanks to his tireless philanthropy,
advocacy and creativity. And tackling some of the world's greatest challenges.
The number of lives he touched and positively impacted across
all his endeavors is immeasurable. He joined the family business
(16:59):
his parents created when SDA Laughter Cosmetics had just under
a million dollars in sales and only a handful of employees. Well,
it kind of expanded since then through his leadership, as
the latter is now worth more than twenty four billion
dollars and according to Bloomberg, Lauder amassed a personal net
worth of more than fifteen billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
But asked what he wanted to be remembered for, Lauder
told CBS News back in twenty twenty, it was simply this.
He listened and he was kind, Babe, I think you're
gonna have to continue this for me.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting this guy at
least I hear. I said he had a big heart,
big smile, put his money where his mouth was, and
put it to action. He was an advocate for cancer
research research supported his wife, Evelyn, who was a breast
cancer survivor, to help create BCRF. You probably heard plenty
about that Breast cancer Research worldwide. It's the largest private
(17:55):
funder of breast cancer research worldwide. He's also the founder
of the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation and made the single
largest philanthropic gift to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So
the dude made a lot of money, and he gave
a lot of money away, putting it to good use.
He survived by his wife, Judy, sons, William and Gary.
But what a life, what a legacy for Leonard Lauder
(18:17):
at the age of ninety two. It's always said rogues
when people passed. Of course it is, but man, there
are celebrations, and sometimes we don't appreciate folks enough when
they're here, and sometimes we take the moment to celebrate
them when they're gone.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
But that was a hell of life.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Well, and thank you for handling that read for me,
just because for me it was personal, just because I
was I had the honor of meeting him I don't
know how many years ago, shortly after my breast cancer journey,
and he invited me to be a part of BCRF
and be a spokesperson for them and an advocate for them.
And I was able to see his incredible generosity and
(18:50):
that beautiful smile he had, and the lives he touched
and the lives he's saved through BCRF and his wife, Evelyn,
it's remarkable. They are part of the reason why I
had the drug to mind to help me through my journey.
In so many other women, but just the work that
they do and where he put his time and effort
was just remarkable. He was a man who left so
many gifts behind and he had should truly be honored.
(19:13):
I just feel terrible that I couldn't read that because
it just is so personal, because he was just such
a remarkable, incredible human being, and I know his work
lives on through the organizations that he has set up
founded and will last for generations to come.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It's cool, though, to have something like that that a
child that's you know, my kid's twelve years old, right,
and she's dealing.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
With estate latter products.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And to think that women have grown up just generations
literally everybody, I mean every woman. You can open their
closet right or open their messgab and it is an
estay latt or something.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh, and clinique. I mean, there's so many other brands
that we know that are all a part of the
Estay Lauter families.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
So that's cool.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
The philanthropy is cool, but this is that's also just
a legacy to leave as well.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So what a life At ninety two?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
We want to continue here the last couple of things
want to hit you with on this morning run. One
of them has to do. We'd like to give you
an update sometimes on the box office. What happened at
the movies and it seems once again that remakes will
continue to crush it at the box office. How to
Train Your Dragon number one over the weekend estimated eighty
three million dollars in the US. That's good, but that's
higher than was expected, so this is a big win.
(20:19):
Also made another one hundred and fourteen million dollars internationally.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
The original animated movie came out in twenty ten, ended
up having two sequels. How to Train Your Dragon adds
an incredible winning streak this year for remakes Leelo and
Stitch and a Minecraft movie both knocking on the door
of one billion dollars at the box office.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
And final leg of our run. Now, remember the biggest
payday of your professional life? Robes do you remember? We
all remember that moment like, wow, this is more money
ever made money, Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That moment happens.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Well, JJ spawn will remember the day that he got
the biggest payday of his professional life because it happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You know what he made.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
He made four point three million dollars and all he
had to do was win the US Open.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh, have no small feed at all there because this
golf for an La native. Well, he won the first
major of his career in an ugly and amazing fashion.
He started the final day by making bogie on five
of his first six holes. I love this story. The
conditions were terrible where they were playing in the Oakmont
Country Club in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The East Coast had nasty weather all up and down
for the weekend and they were struggling with it. Yes,
even if you don't play golf, you know, bogeying five
of your first six holes, you're probably done.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
He wasn't.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
They did have an hour and a half weather delay
at one point, but he played well enough to get
back into contention, and then on the eighteenth hole he
was up by one stroke, but then he ended up
making a sixty four foot putt, Wow, and put the
title out of reach for anybody else. Was a great
celebration to see. But it was his absolute first. This
is the guy who just stuck with it, stuck with it,
(21:44):
stuck with it his first major now in dramatic fashion.
It was a very cool scene. If you haven't seen it,
just go look up his final putt. It was incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I it's a good.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Cluve that he finished that way after starting the way
he did it. That's such a good inspirational story for
us all. And to continue the inspiration, we'd like you
to consider this as you go about your day today.
It is our quote of the day.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Two things divine you. Your patience when you have nothing
and your attitude when you have everything. Hope you write
that down, think about it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
For a second.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
But your patience, your patience when things aren't going well
for you, can you make it through? And then when
you at the top of your game, are you the
a hole? Are you still the humble person that remembers
and needs to help.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Other folks out?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yes? And this came to us from mom Ali, who
was born in five ninety nine AD. Isn't that incredible
that that came from someone from so long ago and
it still applies today. I always try to find one
each week, We'll give it to you one more time
as you make your way on this Monday. Two things
defined you. Your patience when you have nothing and your
attitude when you have everything. And with that everyone, we
(22:48):
hope you have a wonderful Monday. Thanks for running with us.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We will run
with you again soon
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Ron. It's Monday, June sixteenth.
I'm Amy Robox and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I am TJ. Holmes.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
And relief this morning that the largest manhunt in Minnesota
state history is over. Police caught the man accused of
shooting and killing Minnesota's top democrat and her husband, and the.

Death toll is rising in the Middle East as the

Also on the run this morning. A big question at
the start of the sixth week of the Diddy trial.
Will the judge remove a juror he sure sounds like
he wants to. Also, guess who showed up at the
trial Friday. Kanye West and he was in and out
of there in about a half hour plus.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
A philanthropic and business legend, the man responsible for many
of the products we women use every single day, Leonard
Lauder has died at the age of ninety two. And
another big weekend at the box office where remakes continue
to come out on top.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And also proof this morning that it doesn't matter how
you start, It really doesn't matter how you're finished. Because
things got ugly at the start of the US Open yesterday,
but at the end a dramatic finish and a first
ever major for a kid you are going to be
rooting for after this morning.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, great US Open. It was ugly. Rain on these
coasts was nasty and.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
They're squeeging the greens. But it was fun to see
how he came out on top. We'll get to all
of that in just a moment, but yes, we begin
our run in Minnesota, where the manhunt is over. The
suspect wanted for shooting and killing Minnesota's top Democrat was
captured overnight after a massive two day search.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Vans Bolter is the name. He was taken into custody
without incident last night in the woods where he'd fled.
He's charged now with two counts of murder and two
counts of attempted murder.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Police say he went to the home of the state's
top Democrat House speaker, Melissa Hortman, and shot and killed
her and her husband. Then they say he went to
the home of another Democratic state lawmaker, John Hoffman, shot
him and his wife. They miraculously both survived.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, Hoffman's wife if that was actually texting with Democratic
state senator, not state center, but Federal Senator Kolbachar, she's
been closed, of course, a legislator there. She knows everybody
in that state, so sure enough she's friends with the
folks here. Anyvett, the woman in the hospital is texting
Senator Klovichar and Senator's message in part it said John
(03:12):
is enduring many surgeries right now and is closer every
hour to being out of the woods. He took nine
bullet hits. I took eight, and we are both incredibly
lucky to be alive.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That is remarkable. Police say the man post as a
police officer. When he went into the lawmakers' homes, they
found a list of seventy names, including prominent state and
federal lawmakers, and police have not yet mentioned what his
motive may have been.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
One other note here that the AP is reporting that
the suspects sent this text message to his friends after
the shootings quote I'm going to be gone for a while,
may be dead shortly, so I just want to let
you know I love you guys. I wish it hadn't
gone this way in quote. So a lot of questions
about the most there, But that was a scary I mean,
(04:02):
you hear the details initially when we first did, but
then to think the guy was still on the run for.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Quite a while.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Wow, and frightening that he was able to enter those
homes by claiming to be a police officer. Yeah, it
is frightening, and thank goodness he is now captured. Next
up on a run, We're going to turn to the
Middle East, where Iran and Israel spent the weekend lobbing
missiles at one another and with deadly results. At least
two hundred and twenty four killed in Iran, twenty four
in Israel, and hundreds of others injured on both sides.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
This conflict erupted Friday when Israel launched preemptive strike starting
is Iran's nuclear program, killing top generals and the country's
top nuclear scientists. Auran retaliated soon after, launching hundreds of
missiles into Israel, targeting infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That tit for tat continued all weekend, including this morning,
where an Iranian attack has resulted in the deaths of
eight Israelis first, this is the first direct and deadliest
engagement between these two countries in decades.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Our next leg of our run takes us to Washington,
d C. Where President Trump's multimillion diar dollar military parade
took place over the weekend, celebrating the armies two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary. It was also President Trump's seventy ninth birthday.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Trump told the crowd it was about time America celebrated
its victory, saying that's what we're doing tonight. Trump kept
his speech mostly nonpartisan and very pro American, saying time
in again America's enemies have learned that if you threatened
the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. Your defeat
will be certain, your demise will be total and complete,
(05:30):
because our soldiers never give up, never surrender, and never
ever quit.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And of course, this huge show of military prowess, despite
the uncooperative weather, featured thousands of troops, tanks, helicopters, military
bombers all on display. The parade itself started thirty minutes
early to try to beat some of the worst weather,
and drizzle began as the military tanks began to roll
along Constitution Avenue, and some of the planned flyovers actually
had to be canceled.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Trump watched all the festivities from a viewing stand alongside
First Lady Milania Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. After Trump
finished speaking, the crowd broke out into a chorus of
Happy Birthday to the President. A lot of folks though
not happy about this military display, saying it cost taxpayers.
We don't it's a pretty big range, but they're saying
anywhere from twenty five to forty five million dollars to
(06:18):
put on this parade probably.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Had to be doubled because of all the pontoons and
the umbrellas and the rain gear they had to use
for all this stuff. We continue on the run now.
While Trump's military parade rolled down Constitution Avenue, protesters gathered
and marched down city streets across the country holding no
Kings rallies. The ACLU, which helped organize the protests, said
more than five million people participated in more than twenty
(06:42):
one hundred rallies.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, the rallies were mostly peaceful. There were only a
few outbreaks of violence, including a deadly confrontation in Utah,
which we'll have more details on in just a moment.
But in Los Angeles, the National Guard marines and full
combat gear, along with Homeland Security officers and police, faced
off against hundreds of pro testers who were shouting at
troops in both English and Spanish to.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Go home and in front of the Federal Building in
downtown LA police were on horseback they had to actually
charge to the crowd, hitting some with their rods and batons,
firing tear gas into the crowd. Authorities say they were
only responding to protesters throwing rocks, bricks, bottles, and fireworks
at officials. Hundreds gathered in DC to protest Trump, carrying
(07:24):
signs and marching towards the White House. There were even
a larger than life puppet of Trump that was willed
through the streets. It was wearing a crown and was
sitting on a golden.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Toilet, making quite the statement. There and in New York,
we saw several of the demonstrations take place, a big
show of force, but pretty incredibly, the NYPD said, while
fifty thousand people were demonstrating, there were no arrests and
no incidents related to the No King's protest. That is
pretty incredible. However, in Utah, a No King's rally did
(07:54):
turn deadly. A volunteer who was part of a peacekeeping
team shot at a man who was pointing an assault
rifle at a crowd of demonstrators. He hit him, but
killed a bystander.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, the man was brandishing the rifle. His twenty four
year old Arturial Gamboa was arrested and charged with murder
because police say he created the situation that led to
the bystander's death. Police are investigating the peacekeeper, but officials
believe he may have prevented a much larger mass casualty.
(08:26):
Gamboa has no criminal history and only suffered minor injuries.
Right now, police don't know what his motive may have been.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Here's what happened. According to police, Gamboa left the crowd
of protesters he was marching with them around eight pm
on Sunday, and then he moved behind a wall and
took out his assault rifle. Two peacekeeping volunteers who were
wearing neon green vest noticed Gamboa and confronted him with
handguns they had brought with them. That's when they saw
Gamboa raise his rifle into firing position and he started
(08:55):
running towards the crowd.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
One of the volunteers fired three shots, hitting Gamboa and
the bystander, who was a thirty nine year old man
from Samoa. Police recovered an AR fifteen style rifle, a
gun mask, and a backpack from the scene.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, so they said, while volunteer peace keeping teams are common,
they're definitely told not to bring any sort of weapon,
But these two guys did anyway, and certainly they believe
despite them telling them not to bring guns, that might
have actually prevented something even far worse.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But how could he not face charges? I mean, is
he signed something that they indemnify it with they say
he's not supposed to bring a weapon.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
He prevented what we.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Think as a potential tragedy, but a man is dead
because of his.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So yes, all we know right now is pol police
are investigating, and it seems like likely there would be
some sort of charge because he, yes, was instructed not
to bring a gun, and yet the situation unfolded as
it did all right. Next on our run, President Trump
said he wants to step up immigration rates in some
of those very cities that had the biggest anti Trump
rallies over the weekend. In his words, he wants to
(09:59):
achieve the very very important goal of delivering the single
largest mass deportation program in history.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
So how exactly, mister President, are you going to do that?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
And his words, this is what he wrote, and I quote,
we must expand efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens
in America's largest cities such as La Chicago, and New York,
where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside. These and
other such cities are the core of the Democrat power center,
where they use illegal aliens to expand their voter based
(10:30):
cheat and elections and grow the welfare state, robbing good
paying jobs and benefits from hardworking American citizens. Wow, that's
just so divisive. It's just that's time.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
I was going to go with incendiary but divisive. Either
one works. The President did signal in recent days that
his immigration crackdown was having a negative impact on the
hotel and farm industries, and suggested he might be giving
or be willing to give those industries a break from
his immigration crackdown. We shall see. It's all confusing and
(11:03):
very scary for a lot of folks.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That's a weird acknowledgment that his policies are actually hurting
two industries hotel and farming, which often do depend on
workers from other places, correct, and not Americans. He's acknowledging
and looks like he's willing to give them a break
at least. We do want to continue here, though, with
presidents on a trip right now. He's visiting our soon
to be fifty first state. Yes, Canada, haha, he got
(11:28):
there late yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
He's there for the G seven summit.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yes, it's happening in a remote resort town in the
Canadian Rockies in Alberta. Should be a great time. Trump
is in the same room. Just imagine this with all
the world leaders he's hit with tariffs over the past
several months. In addition to the global economy, top of
agenda will be several crises, the war in Gaza, the
war in Ukraine, and of course now this growing conflict
between Israel and Iran. So there was certainly a lot
(11:52):
of work to do at that summit.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I put this here at the bottom because I always
it takes me a second to remember when the g
seven countries. I mean, you see it in front of
you now, but it would have taken me a moment.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I always forget Italy.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Get Italy.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh, I'm sure they love to hear that. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
uk US.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But we promise you Italy, you are number one on
our list. We love Italy, we love going to Italy.
All right, stay with us here on this Monday morning run.
When we come back, folks, it is looking to be
another interesting, explosive and maybe even surprising day in the
Diddy trial because we might for the first time have
a juror sent home. Also, a legend for women and
(12:34):
also just a legend in philanthropy has passed away at
the age of ninety two. We'll get into that. And also,
I hope you didn't miss what was an absolutely thrilling
end to the US Open. We had a first time
winner and he made a sixty four butt to win.
(12:59):
We continue now Monday morning. Run up next the Diddy trial.
The sixth week of testimony gets underway this morning and
Lower Manhattan. The big question robes is will a juror
be dismissed?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
It sure seems like the judge wants to kick Juror
number six off this jury because of inconsistent statements the
juror has given about where he actually lives full time.
The juror is a forty one year old black man
from the Bronx, but he claims to split his time
between New Jersey and New York. But if his primary
residence is in New Jersey, as in where he pays taxes,
(13:29):
he is not eligible to be on this journey.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
The judge wrapped court Friday seemingly to clearly signal he
was going to dismiss this juror. The juror has been
the subject of some back and forth between the judge
and the attorneys for about a week now, but the
judge said this on Friday. There are serious questions about
the jurors candor and the juror's ability to follow the
court's instructions.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
End quote.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
That sounds strangely like can you even pay attention and
listen and do what you're.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Told to do?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It sounds like it's more than just where he lives.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, that might be something else, what's going on here?
The judge later said that he'd still though, even after
strongly saying that it's required that this juror is removed,
He said he would listen to arguments before making a
final decision.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Probably trying to help out on that potential appeal that
could be coming with that. Meanwhile, court wrapped Friday with
testimony from Jonathan Perez, who worked for Shan Combs for
three years right up until Diddy's arrest in September of
last year. Perez also testified under an immunity deal, and
here's a couple of highlights from his testimony. He said, notably,
he never saw did he be violent with a woman
(14:33):
or anyone else?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You said, notably, because it seems like everybody has gotten
up and said they seem something violent. He's next to
him for three years, said he didn't see a thing. Also,
this witness said he was responsible for setting up freak
off rooms, but he said it was something.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
That he only did.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It was about one percent of his work, so it
wasn't a big deal to him.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
At least.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
He says he never saw Jane, who spent the past
week testifying, never saw her upset or hesitant to participate
in any of these hotel nights. The prosecution still says
it expects to rap its case this week as early
as Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And as if this trial needed any more surprises, Yee
showed up at court Friday. Ye yes, oh, it's Yay
You know what I do that all the time. Of
course it's Kanye yay Wow. That is so embarrassing, Yes,
Kanye yay West. I see it written as why I
do this all the time. I'm sorry, sorry, dow sir.
(15:27):
What all right? Kanye was arrived in all white to
the courthouse Friday with one of Diddy's sons.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
People were wondering, why is Ye here? Why did Ye
come before us today? So Ye was there to support
his friend in his time of need, and see he
only supported him for about a half hour though he
went in They said he was only there for about
forty minutes, because as big of the Stars is, the
Federal court doesn't give a damn who you are. Your
(15:54):
name has to be on a designated list in order
to get into the actual courtroom.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
They said.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He went into an overfull flow room for a little
while and then he was out of there.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
And that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's the end of the story. This is supposed to
be a short read, but you turned it into us.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, you know, are you trying to tell me that
Versace is actually Versace is actually versace. It's like that
thing that we all do.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's for sase Andagma.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's erme's erme's all right, yes, all right? Next up
on the Run The World, oh has lost one of
its greatest philanthropists and businessmen. Leonard Lauder, the former head
of cosmetics company giant Estae Lauder and the co founder
of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, has died at the
age of ninety two.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Ninety two and what a life. Announcing his desk, his
brother Ronald said this about Laurie, says impact will be
filled with generations to come thanks to his tireless philanthropy,
advocacy and creativity. And tackling some of the world's greatest challenges.
The number of lives he touched and positively impacted across
all his endeavors is immeasurable. He joined the family business
(16:59):
his parents created when SDA Laughter Cosmetics had just under
a million dollars in sales and only a handful of employees. Well,
it kind of expanded since then through his leadership, as
the latter is now worth more than twenty four billion
dollars and according to Bloomberg, Lauder amassed a personal net
worth of more than fifteen billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
But asked what he wanted to be remembered for, Lauder
told CBS News back in twenty twenty, it was simply this.
He listened and he was kind, Babe, I think you're
gonna have to continue this for me.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting this guy at
least I hear. I said he had a big heart,
big smile, put his money where his mouth was, and
put it to action. He was an advocate for cancer
research research supported his wife, Evelyn, who was a breast
cancer survivor, to help create BCRF. You probably heard plenty
about that Breast cancer Research worldwide. It's the largest private
(17:55):
funder of breast cancer research worldwide. He's also the founder
of the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation and made the single
largest philanthropic gift to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. So
the dude made a lot of money, and he gave
a lot of money away, putting it to good use.
He survived by his wife, Judy, sons, William and Gary.
But what a life, what a legacy for Leonard Lauder
(18:17):
at the age of ninety two. It's always said rogues
when people passed. Of course it is, but man, there
are celebrations, and sometimes we don't appreciate folks enough when
they're here, and sometimes we take the moment to celebrate
them when they're gone.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
But that was a hell of life.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Well, and thank you for handling that read for me,
just because for me it was personal, just because I
was I had the honor of meeting him I don't
know how many years ago, shortly after my breast cancer journey,
and he invited me to be a part of BCRF
and be a spokesperson for them and an advocate for them.
And I was able to see his incredible generosity and
(18:50):
that beautiful smile he had, and the lives he touched
and the lives he's saved through BCRF and his wife, Evelyn,
it's remarkable. They are part of the reason why I
had the drug to mind to help me through my journey.
In so many other women, but just the work that
they do and where he put his time and effort
was just remarkable. He was a man who left so
many gifts behind and he had should truly be honored.
(19:13):
I just feel terrible that I couldn't read that because
it just is so personal, because he was just such
a remarkable, incredible human being, and I know his work
lives on through the organizations that he has set up
founded and will last for generations to come.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It's cool, though, to have something like that that a
child that's you know, my kid's twelve years old, right,
and she's dealing.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
With estate latter products.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And to think that women have grown up just generations
literally everybody, I mean every woman. You can open their
closet right or open their messgab and it is an
estay latt or something.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh, and clinique. I mean, there's so many other brands
that we know that are all a part of the
Estay Lauter families.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
So that's cool.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
The philanthropy is cool, but this is that's also just
a legacy to leave as well.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So what a life At ninety two?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
We want to continue here the last couple of things
want to hit you with on this morning run. One
of them has to do. We'd like to give you
an update sometimes on the box office. What happened at
the movies and it seems once again that remakes will
continue to crush it at the box office. How to
Train Your Dragon number one over the weekend estimated eighty
three million dollars in the US. That's good, but that's
higher than was expected, so this is a big win.
(20:19):
Also made another one hundred and fourteen million dollars internationally.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
The original animated movie came out in twenty ten, ended
up having two sequels. How to Train Your Dragon adds
an incredible winning streak this year for remakes Leelo and
Stitch and a Minecraft movie both knocking on the door
of one billion dollars at the box office.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
And final leg of our run. Now, remember the biggest
payday of your professional life? Robes do you remember? We
all remember that moment like, wow, this is more money
ever made money, Yes.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That moment happens.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Well, JJ spawn will remember the day that he got
the biggest payday of his professional life because it happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You know what he made.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
He made four point three million dollars and all he
had to do was win the US Open.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh, have no small feed at all there because this
golf for an La native. Well, he won the first
major of his career in an ugly and amazing fashion.
He started the final day by making bogie on five
of his first six holes. I love this story. The
conditions were terrible where they were playing in the Oakmont
Country Club in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The East Coast had nasty weather all up and down
for the weekend and they were struggling with it. Yes,
even if you don't play golf, you know, bogeying five
of your first six holes, you're probably done.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
He wasn't.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
They did have an hour and a half weather delay
at one point, but he played well enough to get
back into contention, and then on the eighteenth hole he
was up by one stroke, but then he ended up
making a sixty four foot putt, Wow, and put the
title out of reach for anybody else. Was a great
celebration to see. But it was his absolute first. This
is the guy who just stuck with it, stuck with it,
(21:44):
stuck with it his first major now in dramatic fashion.
It was a very cool scene. If you haven't seen it,
just go look up his final putt. It was incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I it's a good.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Cluve that he finished that way after starting the way
he did it. That's such a good inspirational story for
us all. And to continue the inspiration, we'd like you
to consider this as you go about your day today.
It is our quote of the day.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Two things divine you. Your patience when you have nothing
and your attitude when you have everything. Hope you write
that down, think about it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
For a second.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
But your patience, your patience when things aren't going well
for you, can you make it through? And then when
you at the top of your game, are you the
a hole? Are you still the humble person that remembers
and needs to help.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Other folks out?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yes? And this came to us from mom Ali, who
was born in five ninety nine AD. Isn't that incredible
that that came from someone from so long ago and
it still applies today. I always try to find one
each week, We'll give it to you one more time
as you make your way on this Monday. Two things
defined you. Your patience when you have nothing and your
attitude when you have everything. And with that everyone, we
(22:48):
hope you have a wonderful Monday. Thanks for running with us.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We will run
with you again soon
