Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,
Welcome to Morning Run. It is Thursday, November twentieth.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm Amy Robots and.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I'm TJ Holmes. Good Lord, is Miss Jamaica. Okay, what
a scene. I think this video is gone pretty much
viral at this point, but folks getting ready for the
Miss Universe pageant tonight. This was a nasty fall for
this young lady.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I watched it and I gasped. I mean I physically
hurt for her seeing how far she fell. It was
it's dark, You've got blinding lights shooting up. She couldn't
see where the stage ended and just walked right off.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And a lot of people are talking about that and
talking about the pageant for all the wrong reasons. It's
getting so much negative attention robe to the Miss Universe
pageantsposed to be happening tonight. We'll speak on that and
how Miss Jamaica is doing on this. It's a Thursday,
you call it Friday Friday Eve. It was a good
way to put it right now, this Friday Eve. I
don't know if you all can hear in the background,
(01:01):
but we have a little bit of a change of scenery.
We are working out of our Caribbean bureau. I guess
we can call it right now. But it's been a
good week. Maybe people could hear a little more Pepino
step this week.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yes, Son helps you know what it's We still worked
just as hard, in fact, maybe a good point more
than usual.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But when you have a different view sometimes that's all
you need.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And we certainly have it right now. So wow folk.
We will continue on the run this morning. The several
things to get out on this Friday Eve run, including
how Harvard is down one professor, Also an unseen bill
signing Lady Wilson party to heart last night, Florida about
to execute another inmate, and Mom, Donnie and Trump together
(01:51):
it's happening. You want to hear about that?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I want to attend that meeting.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I would like to as well. There there'll be a
few headlines I'm sure to come out of that. But
we begin our run in DC. As promised, President Trump
signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law last night.
The Department of Justice now has thirty days to release
all Epstein files, and.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
As expected, no big signing ceremony for this legislation. What
was it going to be. They're going to stand there
behind him, Mike Johnson celebrating this thing.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I thought he could get the Epstein victims behind him.
I mean he could have.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
He could have, but no, they did not make a
big scene of this. But he did sign. Overnight we
found out that he had signed it through a truth
social page post, of course, from President Trump, wrote Robes.
We've seen a lot of his posts. We had a
lot of news from his posts. This I think, quite frankly,
was the longest one I have ever seen from him.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And that says a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So he starts the post by talking about high profile
democrats who had relationships with Epstein. He said, perhaps the
truth about these democrats and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein
will soon be revealed, because I have just signed the
bill to release the Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He sounded proud of it. Now he sounds like he's
taking credit. And if you don't buy it from that line,
listen to this. He says. Quote as everyone knows, I
asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority
Leader John Soon to pass the bill in the House
and Senate. Because of this request, the votes were almost
unanimous in favor of passage. So yes, he has absolutely
(03:23):
changed his tune. The argument is he was forced to
have to change his tune. But we got thirty days now.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I was waiting for him to sign off the post
by just saying you're welcome. All right, next time I
left and next up on the run tomorrow Oval Office,
Trump and Mom Donnie, it's happened.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
How many rounds will they go?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Oh goodness, after months of trading pretty nasty barbs publicly,
at least the two men are going to meet at
the White House tomorrow. Now do you first was your
first thought that, okay, it was a political camp this
season and things will now quiet down, they'll meet and
they'll have to work together. Did you think that this
(04:05):
meeting was a good sign?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Not necessarily really.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Because I hope because Trump does not shy away from
being adversarial, and he knows this is his perfect foil,
like this is the person who his party doesn't mind
him going up against.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
This actually works for him.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So yeah, I am not hopeful that anything will come
of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, this is how to your point, Robes, If you
were wondering if the redditic was going to come down,
We found out about it because Trump wrote this on
social media. Communist Mayor of New York City Zurhan Kwame
mom Donnie has asked for a meeting. We have agreed
that this meeting will take place at the Old Office
on Friday, November twenty first. Further details to come. Why
(04:53):
you put his middle name Kwame in quotes. I don't
know why he why.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Because it makes him sound less a I guess I'm
thinking that he's just trying to point out anything that
makes him feel separate from the rest of US Americans.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The Zorhan and the mom Donnie wasn't enough that does
not like the name John and communist.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Obviously he's a social Democrat, but he keeps calling him
a communist, so I believe that will continue.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I hope this doesn't turn into like a nasty scene
in front of reporters where both men are trying to
one up each other. I hope it doesn't turn out.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I hope so too.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
All right, continuing on the run here now, the state
of Florida schedule to execute yet another death row inmate tonight.
It would be the state's seventeenth of the year, and
that is more than double its previous record for a year.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Sixty two year old Richard Barry Randolph is scheduled to
die by lethal injection tonight at six pm. He was
convicted of the nineteen eighty eight murder of Minnie Ruth McCollum.
She walked in on him as he was trying to
rob a convenience store. This will be the forty fourth
execution in the United States this year. That is the
most we have since twoy ten. So yes, it's continuing too.
(06:04):
There are three more scheduled executions for this year, so
we will likely get up to forty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
All right, we'll continue on this. Freddie ev run now,
and a member of Congress has been indicted, accused of
stealing five million dollars. Okay, Roes, that's one thing, but
the type of money she stole makes this even worse.
These were federal disaster funds. This was disaster relief money
(06:32):
during the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
My jaw is dropped.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Sheila accusations, Yes, okay, that's fine. Sheila Scherfilus McCormick is
charged in a scheme in which she allegedly kept FEMA
over payments to her health care company her company had
received the money through a federal COVID vaccine contract.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So instead of returning those over payments, authority to say
she funneled the money to her political campaign. The Florida
Democrat was first elected to come ungress in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
All right, next up on the run. Larry Summers is
not going to finish out the semester at Harvard. The
former Clinton and Obama administration official said this week he
was ashamed of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after a
series of newly released emails this week showed a very
close and friendly relationship, including in large part after Epstein
(07:23):
was already a known convicted sex offender.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, so when some of those emails started coming out,
there's a week Summers came out and said he was
going to be stepping back from his public commitments, and
he's done that. Body also mentioned that he was going
to continue to fulfill his teaching obligations, but now it
appears that is not going to be the case. The
school confirmed he will not be back on campus teaching
this semester. He's resigned from several boards that he serves on,
(07:48):
and it is important to note that in none of
the emails we have seen, nor in anything from law enforcement,
has he ever been accused of any criminal wrongdoing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
In credible poor judgment to maintain a friendship with someone
like Jeffrey Epstein and yet have access to young girls
in classrooms, it just it doesn't look good. And I
was imagining how he would show back up at school,
like how that wouldn't be a distraction, Like how are
you going to now teach kids? It just seemed like
that would be really difficult. Turns out it was all right.
(08:20):
Next up on the run. Former Presidents Biden and Bush
are expected at the memorial service for Dick Cheney today.
That service is happening at the National Cathedral. The former
vice president died November third for complications from pneumonia and
heart disease. Notably, Trump is not expected to attend, And
I've read some or he has not made one public
comment about vice president or former Vice President Cheney's death.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That is, that's a choice, it is, And I know
Cheney became a critic publicly, very very publicly, a critic
of Trump and his administration. But man, even in death,
we can't take a moment to just honor people who served.
It's not. Yes, Dick Cheney, he'll tell you he made
(09:03):
plenty of mistakes in his life and how he governed
and all kinds of things. The man is dead. He
served the country for decades. Several presidents didn't not. Yes,
I mean just I hate this kind of thing. But yeah,
this was an invitation only funeral. Don't think he got one.
He wasn't invited. I don't believe now. If he wanted to,
(09:24):
obviously they would make room for him. But that's tough
the sitting president. It's at the cathedral, it's up the street.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, it's a quick drive.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Huh. All right, well, folks, stay with us on this
Thursday morning run. When we come back, we'll explain what's
going on with the Miss Universe pageant. One contestant is
in the hospital, but that's not the only problem we
have seen with this pageant. Also, Landy Wilson told us
she was going to party hard last night. Trust me, folks,
(09:53):
she had a damn good reason to do.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So stay here, continuing now on this Friday Eve run.
Miss Jamaica is recovering this morning after a nasty and
it was a frightening fall off the stage. It happened
(10:16):
during the Miss Universe competition. She was in an evening gown.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Right, Yeah, this is a I didn't realize how much
goes on before the actual pageant. So the pageant is tonight,
it's finally happening live before the past couple of weeks,
they have been there preliminary competition.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yes, so they get the top thirty actually will see
them tonight. But there are hundreds of women there and
they're doing all of these competitions to narrow down what
we'll see tonight on television.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
So yeah, this has been going on for weeks, but
this was a preliminary round competition. And yes, to your point, wheree,
she was wearing an evening gown, so she's in heels,
and she was doing that perfect walk that only I've
done it models and pageant participants can do. But her
name is Gabrielle Henry. And she stops and poses in
the middle of the stage and then robes. She walks off.
(11:04):
She's walking step for step, and one step there's nothing
to land on because she goes right off the side
of that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Say, these dresses are complicated. I just know because yes, I,
way back when have done a few walks in an
evening gown on a stage and it is post the
photos later, please now, But it is dark and it
is blinding when you get those lights, and so just
to see her, and they spend so much time it
seems silly, but they do. Walking in these dresses with
(11:34):
these heels. This is not an easy thing to do.
And when you're slightly blinded like that and you're nervous
and you've got.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
To you're focused on walking, Yeah, you're focused on everything else.
And as two folks who have been on countless stages
where all the lights are in your eyes, you can't
see a face out there. It's pitch black, and we're
always worried robes. This is terrifying on a stage. I've
always been scared something like this could happen.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, she had to be hauled away on a stretcher.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Pageant officials have announced she is being treated at the hospital.
Her injuries, they actually said, are non life threatening. But
that's how bad the looks. It looked like it could
have been something like life altering at the very least.
But the pageant is scheduled to go on this evening,
and uh.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Plenty of problems, Yes, wish them the best. I wish
her the best, certainly, but them the best. It's been
a bit of a mess.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Of Miss judges quitting one judge, accusing the pageant of
not being transparent and actually accusing them of fraud, of
rigging the systems, so to speak. You had contestants walking
out after being treated poorly by one of the pageant officials,
calling Miss Mexico dumb, and it was all caught on videos.
(12:47):
So yes, they have had a very difficult year, very
difficult pageant this year, and it will culminate tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We'll see who's crowned. Difference.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I haven't thought about watching a pageant in years.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Either of I, and I think, well, and that's a
problem for the Miss Universe pageant, for the Miss America pageant,
for the Miss all of it is.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I want to watch this one now, I do too.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
We will be watching, We will be watching.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
All right, You're gonna wrap up the run here with
Laney Wilson. She had a really good night, a really
really good night. Well, this is CMA. And what's the
other one, the ac American.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
American Country Music Award, Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
But this is the granddaddy and isn't this the big
big I get confused? Okay? With the CMA Awards in
Nashville last night, she gets to be on stage hosting
the thing. These are all of her peers. She gets
to how much fun is that? The host then turn
around and one Album of the Year, Female Vocalist of
the Year, and Entertainer of the Year. Wow, she almost
(13:44):
couldn't have had a bigger night.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
That's congratulations to Laney Wilson and Cody Johnson won Male
Vocalist of the Year. Zach top One, New Artist of
the Year, Ella Langley and Riley Green picked up Single
of the Year, Music Video of the Year, and Song
of the Year for You Look Like You Love Me.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I played that. You were probably wondering what I was doing.
I had country music playing.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, he did?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
That was that song? It's a very cute song.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It's I that's so funny. I didn't I was going
to ask you what is this song? This is not
in your typical rotation. So now it all makes so
much sense.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
All right, Before we let you go, something we would
like for you to consider and take with you. It
is our quote of the day. Again, Brook has not
heard this one. She has handed off the duties of
pulling the quotes to me over the past couple of weeks,
and so far the public has not demanded that she'd
take the responsibility back. But here is your quote for today.
Darkness makes Me fumble for a key to a door
(14:39):
that's wide open.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Huh, all right, yeah, let me think about this.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Is actually a song lyric from the Police. The song
is called Darkness really actually written. I believe it was
written by their drummer. But the point there he was
making the whole song about fame and all that kind
of comes with it. But I heard this quote somewhere
else before I ever heard the song Darkness makes Me
(15:07):
fumble for a key to a door that's wide open.
How we miss what's right in front of us or
opportunity because we can't get out of our own way.
We're in our own head or in our own dark place.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We're blinded by either our emotions, our experience are just
misconceptions and we don't see what's right in front of us.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I love this quote now, I got rand you know
how random my life can be sometimes. I first got
this from Van Jones of seeing.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
In That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Somewhere we were hanging out and he mentioned this, and
I have held on to it for a decade plus probably, And.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So what do you take? Like the way we say
this to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's a reminder to keep your eyes open, right, keep
your heart open, don't think you know what you're looking at.
Leave some space for something you can't see.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I like that, isn't that, hommy. You're fumbling around trying
to find out how to unlike something and the opportunity
is right there in front of you. Stop fumbling around.
Just get out of your own way. The door is
wide open. And with that, folks, we always appreciate you
taking or run with us.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm Tjail and I'm Amy Roboch.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We will talk to you soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone,

(08:20):
Next up on the run. Former Presidents Biden and Bush
are expected at the memorial service for Dick Cheney today.
That service is happening at the National Cathedral. The former
vice president died November third for complications from pneumonia and
heart disease. Notably, Trump is not expected to attend, And
I've read some or he has not made one public
comment about vice president or former Vice President Cheney's death.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That is, that's a choice, it is, And I know
Cheney became a critic publicly, very very publicly, a critic
of Trump and his administration. But man, even in death,
we can't take a moment to just honor people who served.
It's not. Yes, Dick Cheney, he'll tell you he made
(09:03):
plenty of mistakes in his life and how he governed
and all kinds of things. The man is dead. He
served the country for decades. Several presidents didn't not. Yes,
I mean just I hate this kind of thing. But yeah,
this was an invitation only funeral. Don't think he got one.
He wasn't invited. I don't believe now. If he wanted to,
(09:24):
obviously they would make room for him. But that's tough
the sitting president. It's at the cathedral, it's up the street.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, it's a quick drive.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Huh. All right, well, folks, stay with us on this
Thursday morning run. When we come back, we'll explain what's
going on with the Miss Universe pageant. One contestant is
in the hospital, but that's not the only problem we
have seen with this pageant. Also, Landy Wilson told us
she was going to party hard last night. Trust me, folks,
(09:53):
she had a damn good reason to do.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So stay here, continuing now on this Friday Eve run.
Miss Jamaica is recovering this morning after a nasty and
it was a frightening fall off the stage. It happened
(10:16):
during the Miss Universe competition. She was in an evening gown.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Right, Yeah, this is a I didn't realize how much
goes on before the actual pageant. So the pageant is tonight,
it's finally happening live before the past couple of weeks,
they have been there preliminary competition.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yes, so they get the top thirty actually will see
them tonight. But there are hundreds of women there and
they're doing all of these competitions to narrow down what
we'll see tonight on television.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
So yeah, this has been going on for weeks, but
this was a preliminary round competition. And yes, to your point, wheree,
she was wearing an evening gown, so she's in heels,
and she was doing that perfect walk that only I've
done it models and pageant participants can do. But her
name is Gabrielle Henry. And she stops and poses in
the middle of the stage and then robes. She walks off.
(11:04):
She's walking step for step, and one step there's nothing
to land on because she goes right off the side
of that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Say, these dresses are complicated. I just know because yes, I,
way back when have done a few walks in an
evening gown on a stage and it is post the
photos later, please now, But it is dark and it
is blinding when you get those lights, and so just
to see her, and they spend so much time it
seems silly, but they do. Walking in these dresses with
(11:34):
these heels. This is not an easy thing to do.
And when you're slightly blinded like that and you're nervous
and you've got.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
To you're focused on walking, Yeah, you're focused on everything else.
And as two folks who have been on countless stages
where all the lights are in your eyes, you can't
see a face out there. It's pitch black, and we're
always worried robes. This is terrifying on a stage. I've
always been scared something like this could happen.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, she had to be hauled away on a stretcher.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Pageant officials have announced she is being treated at the hospital.
Her injuries, they actually said, are non life threatening. But
that's how bad the looks. It looked like it could
have been something like life altering at the very least.
But the pageant is scheduled to go on this evening,
and uh.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Plenty of problems, Yes, wish them the best. I wish
her the best, certainly, but them the best. It's been
a bit of a mess.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Of Miss judges quitting one judge, accusing the pageant of
not being transparent and actually accusing them of fraud, of
rigging the systems, so to speak. You had contestants walking
out after being treated poorly by one of the pageant officials,
calling Miss Mexico dumb, and it was all caught on videos.
(12:47):
So yes, they have had a very difficult year, very
difficult pageant this year, and it will culminate tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We'll see who's crowned. Difference.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I haven't thought about watching a pageant in years.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Either of I, and I think, well, and that's a
problem for the Miss Universe pageant, for the Miss America pageant,
for the Miss all of it is.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I want to watch this one now, I do too.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
We will be watching, We will be watching.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
All right, You're gonna wrap up the run here with
Laney Wilson. She had a really good night, a really
really good night. Well, this is CMA. And what's the
other one, the ac American.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
American Country Music Award, Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
But this is the granddaddy and isn't this the big
big I get confused? Okay? With the CMA Awards in
Nashville last night, she gets to be on stage hosting
the thing. These are all of her peers. She gets
to how much fun is that? The host then turn
around and one Album of the Year, Female Vocalist of
the Year, and Entertainer of the Year. Wow, she almost
(13:44):
couldn't have had a bigger night.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
That's congratulations to Laney Wilson and Cody Johnson won Male
Vocalist of the Year. Zach top One, New Artist of
the Year, Ella Langley and Riley Green picked up Single
of the Year, Music Video of the Year, and Song
of the Year for You Look Like You Love Me.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I played that. You were probably wondering what I was doing.
I had country music playing.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, he did?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
That was that song? It's a very cute song.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It's I that's so funny. I didn't I was going
to ask you what is this song? This is not
in your typical rotation. So now it all makes so
much sense.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
All right, Before we let you go, something we would
like for you to consider and take with you. It
is our quote of the day. Again, Brook has not
heard this one. She has handed off the duties of
pulling the quotes to me over the past couple of weeks,
and so far the public has not demanded that she'd
take the responsibility back. But here is your quote for today.
Darkness makes Me fumble for a key to a door
(14:39):
that's wide open.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Huh, all right, yeah, let me think about this.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Is actually a song lyric from the Police. The song
is called Darkness really actually written. I believe it was
written by their drummer. But the point there he was
making the whole song about fame and all that kind
of comes with it. But I heard this quote somewhere
else before I ever heard the song Darkness makes Me
(15:07):
fumble for a key to a door that's wide open.
How we miss what's right in front of us or
opportunity because we can't get out of our own way.
We're in our own head or in our own dark place.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
We're blinded by either our emotions, our experience are just
misconceptions and we don't see what's right in front of us.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I love this quote now, I got rand you know
how random my life can be sometimes. I first got
this from Van Jones of seeing.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
In That's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Somewhere we were hanging out and he mentioned this, and
I have held on to it for a decade plus probably, And.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So what do you take? Like the way we say
this to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
It's a reminder to keep your eyes open, right, keep
your heart open, don't think you know what you're looking at.
Leave some space for something you can't see.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I like that, isn't that, hommy. You're fumbling around trying
to find out how to unlike something and the opportunity
is right there in front of you. Stop fumbling around.
Just get out of your own way. The door is
wide open. And with that, folks, we always appreciate you
taking or run with us.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm Tjail and I'm Amy Roboch.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We will talk to you soon.
