Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. Good
morning everyone, Welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday, October twentieth.
I'm Amy Robots and.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm TJ Holden. Saw the protests over the weekend. Millions
they say were in the streets and President Trump pooped
on them. If you haven't seen this yet, there's a
video that the President himself put out and the President's
response to the protests, massive protests this weekend robes was
a pretty It was kind of a gross video.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
File, is what I will say, and inappropriate on every level.
Maybe from an elementary school child, Okay, that's what I
would expect that from.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yes, it was a poopy video from the president. Will
explain how he responded with an AI video to the
protest massive protests we saw over the weekend. The story
of the day. How in the hell did they pull
off robbing the most famous and the most visited museum
in the world in broad daylight.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I don't know. This unbelievable and what they got away
with is just devastating.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The love. If you all haven't seen the Louver in
Paris robbed, not in the middle of the night, broad daylight,
in the morning. And this wasn't some fancy Ocean's eleven thing.
They just broke a window, got to smash them stuff
and got out. This is an unbelievable sorce smash and
grab the loof at the loof when everybody could see it.
So we'll get into that this morning. Also, you all
know we're big fans of horror films around here, and
(01:28):
horror movies are continuing to do gangbusters at the box office.
Another one was number one over the weekend. Also tonight
robes you know this by now. Two greatest words and
all the sports game seven Okay, you gotta say it
with a little.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
More enthusias dead by girlfriends and wives around the world.
Sometimes like sometimes I'm into it.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Not so much this time there's a game seven to night.
It doesn't matter if it's Little League friggin wolfleball. This
is worth seeing. There is a game seventh night that
we'll get to. But also want you to know, as
always top right corner of your Apple podcast app, where
you see our show page a little button that says
follow Click that and you can get our updates coming
to you all the time. Also on the run this morning,
(02:12):
that ceasefire is shaky, but both sides still are committed. Also,
a member founding member of Limp Biscuit has passed away
at the age of forty eight. Also, a disgraced former
congressman sentenced to seven years got out in eighty four days.
Will explain that. Also that story the Young Republicans, you
remember that group text chain that got so many of
(02:32):
them in trouble where they're in some more trouble with
the National Republican Party. And we have a story about
a deadly plane crash in Hong Kong, a plane slid
off the end of a runway. We will get into
that this morning, but we do need to begin with
these protests over the weekend. The estimates are millions. You
see the pictures certainly looked like millions of Americans in
the streets this weekend for protests that you would think
(02:55):
robes shouldn't be necessary. In the United States of America,
a protest called no Kings protest essentially doing what it
says we have to we have to remind ourselves or
mind the country that we don't have kings here.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
We don't like tyrannical rules. Organizers say there were twenty
six hundred sites around the country on Saturday, all in
a show of opposition to Trump's policies on immigration, national guards,
and cities.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Et cetera.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But you know what the good news is. I mean,
these pictures are stunning. I mean you can tell. I mean,
New York City traffic on Saturday was insane. We were
subwaying and running across this to trying to get around
the city was impossible.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
But you know what, it was festive.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
There were no arrests in DC or New York, which
is remarkable given the showing and the pictures themselves. Republicans
were largely dismissive of the rallies, though one White House
official responded with who cares?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But that was nothing compared to the response from President Trump. Now,
he is known to have a good time with social media,
put up a lot of memes and you name it. Well,
this was this. Don't kind of take the cake a
little bit. This is an AI generated video and it's
untruth social and it depicts him in the cockpit of
a fighter jet and he's taking off and then he
(04:14):
flies over New York and he dumps what on the protesters,
At least what it appears to be.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It appears to be poop on protesters. And to top things off,
he's got.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
A way to the danger zones.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Playing underneath like he's Tom Cruise dropping poop on people, but.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It goes the full again, it's AI so they can
do it. But it looks like people are getting sludged,
like close up of like they're getting slimed, almost on Nickelodeon,
but with brown goop.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
If that makes grown ups laugh, Okay, I just thought
we were beyond that truly, But okay, all right, next.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Up on the run, please let's move on.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
The Secret Service made a disturbing discovery near the airport
the President Trump flies into and out of in Florida.
During a sweep around on the Palm Beach International Airport,
agents discovered what appears to be a hunting stand. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What's more here the stand had a direct line of
sight to where President Trump exits Air Force one. Obviously
this is disturbing given this is the same area. What
is a month or two ago, Ryan Routh was convicted
for an assassination attempt, remember you living up on the
greens around the golf course. Yeah, and then of course
(05:27):
the president literally got shot, and you have all this
going on so this is very disturbing. Could it be nothing, maybe,
but this is I.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Don't think normally when you say a hunting stand, I
think of a deer stand. Don't think there were deer
hunters in the area. It seems like that would have
been an explanation. And if there isn't deer hunting around
that area, what would be the purpose of said hunting.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
If they're hunting something and I don't know that area,
what are they hunt around there? But the idea they
said it hasn't been seen before. They think it might
have been up for a matter of months, But that's
really just given what we've seen in the country here lately.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
All right, Next up on the run, we had overseas
and the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel on shaky ground
over the weekend, but for now it is still holding
for the most part. Both sides have accused the other
of violating the peace deal.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, Israel launched air strikes at Hamas targets on Sunday,
killing forty four people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
Israel says it only launched those strikes after Hamas attacked
and then killed two Israeli soldiers.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Both sides say they are still committed to moving forward
with the peace plan. Vice President Vance is expected to
lead a US delegation to Israel today to continue moving
that peace plan forward.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
All right next to leg of our run techsous to Paris.
For the most incredible story of the day and of
the weekend, the Love got robbed in broad daylight. Yes,
the most visited and most famous museum in the world
was robbed. And again, this wasn't some high tech guys
in suits pulling off a bunch of Danny Ocean Ocean's
eleven stuff. This was a brazen job robes in the
(06:59):
middle of the No, it was right when the place opened.
Everybody was around.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
That's crazy. Yes, authorities are looking for up to four
men who got away with precious jewels of an incalculable
value on Sunday when they pulled a truck up to
the loover extended a ladder mounted to the truck to
a second floor window of the museum, broke the window,
went inside and smashed display cases, grabbing the precious French
(07:24):
Crown jewels, and fled on scooters.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
How do you do this? It seems like the sim
Where were.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The police and all of this was how long did
this take?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Seven minutes?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
They say, okay, that's long enough. I think there'd be
guards around the area.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And again we keep saying, this is not some middle
of the night caper. This was at nine point thirty
in the morning. They open at nine. There were people
in the Louver visiting at the time, and there were
people around, even people that have like video that they
captured inadvertently of these guys robbing the place. Now, these
robbers also add to this, they were not all They
(08:00):
had chainsaws, box gutters and tools they used for the
heightst but other than that was it.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Chainsaw would keep me away. Police say they got away
with eight pieces of inestimatable Did I say that right?
In estimatable cultural and historical value. The Apollo Room at
the Louver is where the French Crown jewels are housed,
and all the items belonged to the French royal families
over the years, like actually over the century.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Correct, good point, this is not over the years. So
nine items were taken. One was found though, on the
ground near the museum. They believe they accidentally dropped it
and had to leave it behind. This was the Impress
Eugenie's crown. This is the wife of Napoleon the third.
How impressive is this thing?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Eugenie Empress Eugenie's crown?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, but I said, how impressive is this thing? Thirteen
hundred and fifty four diamonds fifty six emeralds in this.
They didn't put a number at all on these things.
They just said, you cannot calculate what these things. That
is so sad.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They're to think like if they had gotten and I'm
sure obviously they got away with so many other items
like this, but like you imagine, what would they take
out the jewels and try to sell them intually.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No way a private collector might try it. Well, you're
going to just put it in your basement because you
got that kind of money, but now you have to
chop it up to try to sell it. That's so
that would be sad. That is so sad.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
All right, Well, we'll see if we can get an
update on that one. Next up on the run, Well,
here's another big oops, this one by the US military
while it was firing live rounds over a California highway.
Huh trapnel from one of the artillery shells flying over
I five came down and hit a California Highway Patrol vehicle.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, nobody was injured here, we need to say that.
But the Marine Corps acknowledged the detonation and said it
prematurely detonated outside of the designated impact area. Now the
big question here, Ropes, I could hear in your voice
when you were delivering this is why the hell is
the Marine Corps firing live rounds over a major California roadway. Well,
(10:01):
it was part of a demonstration tied to the two
hundred and fiftieth anniversary Marine Corps celebration at Kent Pimpleton.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
So Vice President in Advance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
were all there for this large live fire exercise that
included fighter jets, helicopter ships, you name it. No one
was injured, thankfully, but investigators are looking into how this
happened in the first place.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
By California Governor Gavin Newsom predicted something like this might happen.
He was criticizing the administration beforehand and preemptively closed the
highway citing safety concerns. He said, quote, firing live rounds
where a busy highway isn't just wrong. It's dangerous. He
added that the White House shouldn't be so reckless with
people's lives for their vanity projects. So the idea it
(10:44):
was supposed to go over the highway, Sure, but it
detonated at the wrong time. Yeah, So it was supposed
to be well over the highway by the time he
went off, and it did not. That is to think
it was.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Fright ning right. Next upon the run, New York's Republican
State Committee voted unanimously to suspect its Young Republican organization
after that group chat was released that included racist language
and jokes about rape and Nazis well. The committee chair
said this the Young Republicans was already grossly mismanaged and
vile language of the sword made in the group chat
(11:14):
has no place in our party or its subsidiary organizations.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Committee said the Young Republican group could be reinstituted, excuse
me reconstituted at a later date. So far, at least
five participants in that group chat have all resigned been
fired from their positions. The former chair of the New
York State Young Republicans, Peter Kinta Junta Peter Juntah wrote
several of the offensive texts and was fired from his
role as chief of staff for New York Assemblement Michael Riley.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Bobby Walker also participated. Will no longer be moving forward
with his plans to work on a New York congressional
candidates campaign. The Kansas Republican Party denounced the two leaders
of the Kansas Young Republicans who participated in the group chat.
Chair Alex Dwyer and vice chair William Hendrix both resigned
their positions.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Hendrix was also fired for his job with the Kansas
Attorney General's office and after mounting political pressure from Vermont
Governor Phil Scott, Vermont State Senator Sam Douglas says he
will resign his position after participating in that group chat.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, he and his wife were both a part of
that chat, so they have both been Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I didn't realize that either until I read the article.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All Right, next up on the run, Limp Biscuit bass
player Sam Rivers has died at the age of forty eight.
Bass player. I'm sorry, I was thinking of Lance bass.
I got all confused. Limp Biscuit bass player I know
better than that. Sam Rivers has died at the age
of forty eight. His bandmates announced the news of his
passing on social media, saying this today we lost our brother,
(12:43):
our bandmate, our heartbeat. Sam Rivers wasn't just our bass player.
He was pure magic, the pulse beneath every song, the
calm and the chaos, the soul in the sound.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Well said that was really, really, Well said beautiful. They
did not say how or where Rivers died. He did
leave the band for a little while few years in
twenty fifteen for health reasons, telling fans he got liver
disease from excessive drinking. He went into treatment for alcohol addiction,
quit drinking, received a liver transplant before rejoining the band
in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah lim Biscuit has scheduled a tour of Central and
South America. It's beginning in Mexico City next month, and
his bandmate said River's spirit will live forever in every groove,
every stage, every memory. They really did have some beautiful
things to say about him, and just so young forty
eight years old. Incredibly sad.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You pointed that to make a point to me about it.
He said, Wow, you guys are the same age. Yeah,
like in to think like nothing's on my mind about
dropping dead you think so much life to look forward
to that really.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Really, we all expect to have more years ahead of us.
And these are the types of stories. They just remind
us all to live better.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
All right, Continuing on the run here on this Monday morning, now, folks,
two people died after a plane skidded off the runway
in Hong Kong. But the two who died were not
aboard the airplane. The plane was an seven forty seven
cargo plane that had just arrived from Dubai.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Investigators are trying to find out why the plane went
off the runway in the first place.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It crashed through a fence.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It actually went into this sea. The plane ran into
and pushed an airport patrol vehicle in the water, killing
two airport staffers. But the video, the images are pretty
chilling when you see what happened.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
All right, folks, stay with us here on this morning,
this this Monday Monday mornings, this Monday morning.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Run.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
When we come back. It's not a bad deal. You
send us to seven years in prison, but you're out
in eighty four days, thank you, President Trump. Also coming up,
one National League one National Hockey League team is apologizing
for an unbelievable gaff that took place on Hispanic Heritage night. Also,
(14:50):
we told you Game seven is coming up. Romes is
really excited, and Horror is once again the top at
the box office. There we continue now on this Monday
morning Ron with former New York Congressman George Santos. He
(15:11):
was sentenced to seven years in prison. He served eighty
four days. Thank you, mister President.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Santos walked out of prison early this weekend after Trump
granted him clemency. Santos served in Congress in twenty twenty
three after being elected in a campaign in which he
claimed to be a Wall Street big shot.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Apparently he was not. He had apparently been really frauding
people out of a whole bunch of money. He pleaded
guilty to fraud several counts. Also identity that he was
sentenced to seven years in prison. He admitted to deceiving donors.
He stole identities of at least eleven people. Some of
those people were his own family members. Now, yes, he
got out of prison, walked out this weekend. I think
(15:50):
what he said he learned of it on television that
the President had commuted his sentence. But you think Rope,
you get a new lease on life. Go lay low
for a little bit, see the family. No, it was
all over TV this weekend, doing as many interviews.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Talking about what a big deal he still is. He
he claimed he was really and I'm saying a big deal.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
On Wall Street. Oh yeah, but he did say he
was humbled by the experience ropes on a microphone. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Next up on the run, the San Jose Sharks are
apologizing for a very shocking gaff on Hispanic Heritage Night.
This happened Saturday during the first intermission of the Sharks
game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Saw a message during that intermission flashed on the video
board in the arena for all to see, and that
message read San Jose Sharks fans love ice, Get them boys.
That is what it said on Hispanic Heritage Night. Now,
hearing that initially, how do you read it?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, at first, I'm thinking ice hockey, right, really that
was your first thought? Yes, And then when you reiterated
that it was Hispanic Heritage Night night, I saw how
ice could be taken in a different way.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay. So if you and I are looking at that
and saying, okay, it was a mistake and nobody caught.
But the Sharks themselves are apologizing for this. They issued
a statement saying, quote, an offensively worded message, which had
been externally submitted, was inadvertently displayed on the Inn Arena scoreboard.
(17:20):
They're saying they should have caught that.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, right, that, and that goes to say that it
wasn't just something that normally they would have put up. Hey,
we love ice, we love the ice, whatever, Yeah, they said,
Sharks Sports and Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which
does not meet our organization's values, was not detected during
our standard review process. The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for
(17:42):
this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the
origin of the message.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Is there any way this was inadvertent an accident as
somebody was talking about hockey.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Honestly, I would have bought that had that been the case.
I've heard like people constantly referred to a hockey rink
as ice.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, but it sounds like Sharks fans love ice. Yeah.
I mean, get them boys.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I know, but I can see how it could be
taken as a rallying cry for doing well on the ice.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
See I thought the Sharks the organization were going to
come out and say that, yes, we understand this was
taken the wrong way and we should have been better
about it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It was.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But they didn't say that.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
No, right, They said that someone put this in there
deliberately to be yeah offensive.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
All right, all right, Continuing on the run on this
Monday morning with robox favorite two words and all of
not just sports, but the English language. Game seven. Yes, well,
we are getting a Game seven tonight in the American
League Championship Series and the winner goes to the World Series.
We're talking about the Blue Jays of Toronto and the
Mariners of Seattle. They played last night. It was Game six,
(18:46):
could have been over, but the blue Jays beat the
Mariner six to two, sets up a decisive Game seven
tonight and the Dodgers await the winner in the World Series.
We will this is a must see game tonight. We
do not miss Game sevens in this house. Time does
it start?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
You don't even that is a fair question. Why would
you fake the enthusiasm at least? All right, final leg
of the run here on this Monday now. Horror once
again King at the box office. It's King every week
for us every day, you could argue black Phone two,
though the new movie opened with twenty six point five
million dollars domestically forty two million worldwide and earned the
number one spot at the box office this weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yes, Ethan Hawk's role as the serial killer the Grabber
one audience is over. The movie has earned a respectable
seventy four percent on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, but audience
members give it an even higher eighty five percent, which
is always a good sign in our books. It was, however,
what industry experts are calling a sleepy weekend at the
(19:43):
box office, coming in at number two. Disney's sci fi
sequel tron Ares, earning eleven point one million.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
And then there was rated comedy Good Fortune didn't have
a lot of good Fortune, coming in third, disappointing six
point two million dollars to pay some pretty big names.
Seth Rogan Cannel readion. This thing has pretty good reviews
as well. Right now, the October box office is down
eleven percent from last year. Black Phone two. Will you've
been on me about this all weekend? We had a
busy weekend, but we'll get it.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We're going to add to the box office at least
for this week, we're going to go see Black Phone
two and yes, hopefully add to all of the enthusiasm
behind the audience score.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
All right, well, folks, before we let you go on
this Monday, something we'd like you to take with you,
something for you to consider. It is our quote of
the day.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I loved this quote. You can never leave footprints that
last if you are always walking on tiptoe. I love
the from Leima Gubowie. I hope I said her name right,
Liberian peace activist she was. She got the Nobel Peace Prize.
So but I just, you know, I think so often
we're so trying to not offend or to be careful,
(20:48):
you know, as we're doing something. And I just love
what she said. It gave everyone permission just to go
in with your all, give it your best, don't try
to worry about or don't worry about what other people
think or what are going to say. I think a
lot of us make decisions based on what we anticipate
other people's other people might how they might react.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Do it all day long, do it all day law,
we all do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I just thought this was I've never heard it put
this way and I thought it was so cool. You
can never leave footprints that last if you are always
walking on tiptoe, so be bold today everyone, Thank you
for running with us.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We will see
y'all soon.
