Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome
to Morning Run. I'm Amy Robots and.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm TJ Holmes. And on the Run, There's morning. A
cease fire is an effect between Israel and Aaran. But
now before they got some final blows.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
In and we gave up on coming up with some
clever ways to describe this current heat wave. Just know
it's hot as hell and hundreds of records are expected
to be broken today.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Also this morning, police arrest then describe a dad as
a human piece of garbage for what he was doing
while his child was dying in a hot car. Also
fire up the deportation planes Homeland Securities response to the
Supreme Court's latest ruling allowing the deportation of undocumented criminals
(00:48):
to countries who'll accept them.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And today will be the final day of testimony in
the Diddy trial, as the prosecution and the defense are
both set to rest their cases. Plus should we be
using what if Congress doesn't even trust it?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Also on the Run This Morning, Indiana Pacer superstar Tyrese
Halliburn apologizes to the city of Indianapolis from his hospital bed. Also,
my McRib is going to have to wait, because apparently
we're supposed to be boy hunting McDonald's today, and Dolly
Parton says, get your rhyin stones ready. She is returning
to sen City to do something she hasn't done there
(01:25):
in thirty years. Very exciting news for Donaphis.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
A lot of folks are celebrating today with that news.
But we begin our morning run with a major announcement.
As of this morning, a ceasefire is in effect between
Israel and Iran, and this comes after a fast moving
and at times confusing turn of events in the Middle
East on Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It started with Ron launching retaliatory attacks on a US
military base and cutter, which was called a very weak
attack by President Trump and resulted in no casualties and
had limited impact. That was followed by President Trump later
in the day making an out of nowhere announcement that
Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That was followed by crickets from both Iran and Israel,
who did not immediately confirm that there was in fact
a ceasefire and actually kept up their missile attacks on
one another in the hours after the ceasefire announcement, and
in fact they kept up their attacks on each other
right up until the time for the deadline to go
in effect. Israel and Israelian and Ronnie and officials eventually
(02:25):
did acknowledge agreeing to that ceasefire.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
President Trump, who was particularly active on social media yesterday,
announced the ceasefire in a message that started congratulations to
everyone that was in all caps. By the way, he
said that before the ceasefire would began, Israel and Iran
would wound down. They're already in progress and final mission,
so that might account for some of the final blows
we saw, and then Iran with cease operations first, followed
(02:51):
by Israel doing so twelve hours later.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
President Trump wrote, on the assumption that everything works as
it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate
both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage,
and intelligence to end what should be called the Twelve
Day War. This is a war that could have gone
on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but
it didn't and never will. God bless Israel, God bless Iran,
(03:16):
God blessed the Middle East, God blessed the United States
of America, and God bless the world.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
We all sound like friends again.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, there's already been a few more missiles fired.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Didn't We just saw that as of this recording, folks,
the ceasefire is an effect. And just moments ago we
did get a word that missiles were still being lobbed
at each other. Do you know who it was? Iran?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Iran fired some missiles into Israel. So we'll see if
the ceasefire holds. It is certainly tentative and probably changing
by the minute and by the hour, So please day
to his updates.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
In every ceasefire we cover, somebody described as a shaky ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yes, and someone always violates it. Then the other side
points the finger at the side that fired the missiles,
and then they retaliate, and hopefully it will die down
and eventually dissipate altogether.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
All Right, We're going to continue the run now with
the more than two hundred and fifty record highs and
record lows that could be set by the end of
the day today. The record lows are only record lows
because they're so high. It's so hot. It's not suppose
your low for the day is not supposed to be
eighty three. If you get what we're saying, Whether experts
say this dangerous heat wave could reach its peak in
(04:24):
some cities today through Wednesday, and this could go into Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Folks, that's right. More than one hundred and fifty million
Americans are under heat warnings as this heat dome continues
to bear down on the eastern half of the US,
with a level four out of four extreme heat risk,
giving people zero relief, yes, even in the overnight hours.
Here in New York, Central Park reached a record high
of ninety six on Monday, tying a record set back
(04:49):
in eighteen eighty eight. Today we're expected to top one
hundred degrees, which last happened in July of twenty twelve,
and I said July of twenty twelve, not June.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Across the river there from US, more than one hundred
and fifty people were evaluated for heat related illnesses and
sixteen people ended up in the emergency room during graduation
ceremonies in DC. Washington Monument was closed yesterday and remains
closed today because of the heat, and the Midwest roads
were buckling from the extreme heat, officials warning more streets
(05:18):
may crack as the temperatures continues to stay high.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Isn't that crazy to think about that. Asphalt is cracking
and buckling. That's how hot it is here in the
mid Atlantic. In the Northeast, trains were running slower with
wires sagging in the heat. Amtrak travelers were delayed because
of temperature related speed restrictions, and one stalled train in
Baltimore left passengers trapped in that heat with no AC
(05:43):
for more than an hour. And I must give you
major kudos TJ, because you didn't go to bed last night,
because you too were on a train headed back from
Philly and were delayed massively.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It was silly to pick a train that late. For
sure enough, I got an alert it was going to be
an hour and a half delaid in getting back at midnight.
So again I pray you all forgive me. I have
not had a wink of sleep this evening.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Your aura score is zero.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It actually is zero. I shouldn't have told people that.
Now they're gonna judge me very harsh.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I think they'll forgive you.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, maybe I needed that. We will continue the run
here now we are in the middle of this heat
dome phenomenon, and unfortunately, it seems every year we do
hear stories on the news about kids dying after being
left in a hot car. In fact, last year there
were thirty nine hot car deaths involving children.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And oftentimes, and most of the times, this happens when
well meeting parents or caregivers make a mistake, They forget
they have their child in the back seat, they forget
to drop off their child where they were supposed to.
In fact, the National Highway Safety Administration says that is
the case in more than fifty percent of child hot
car deaths. Even say the majority happened on a Thursday
(06:54):
or a Friday, or at the end of the work week,
when folks are tired and forgetful, it makes sense the Oh,
but what happened in Florida is something altogether different.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This is a really tough story here, folks. A dad
is now facing aggravated manslaughter charges in the death of
his eighteen month old son, and in announcing the charges,
the police chief called the dad and I quote, a
human piece of garbage. He also called him, and I quote,
a lying sack of shit. This is coming from the
(07:25):
police chief. Now. Scott Allen Gardner is the man's name.
He is accused of leaving his son Sebastian in his
vehicle for hours while he went to get a haircut
and then went for drinks at a bar four robes
three hours.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I have chills from head to toe. That makes me
physically ill. Get this, It was ninety degrees outside the
window of the car is being described as slightly down
And according to police, Gardner went for that haircut at
eleven thirty am. This happened on June sixth, left his
baby in the car. Then about thirty minutes later, he
left the barbershop and went across the street to a
(08:02):
lounge and drank for three hours.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
They were even specific in saying he drank beer and
had shots while he was there. When he eventually left
that bar, police say he went to his mom's house
and that's where he called nine to one one. But
the boy was already dead at that point, and the
hospital says his body temperature was above one hundred and
seven degrees.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
And get this, after the child's death that day earlier
this month, Gardner and his mom went back to the
same bar for drinks the same night his child died.
Gardner is now being held without bond. And who said
this quote you have at the bottom of the script.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
This is again with from the police chief.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He said, I don't think there's a penalty on this
earth that could ever fit for the crime that was committed.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Here just didn't have to happen. I mean to go
take him in the bar if you want to, and
that's an appropriate It is not good parenting. But thats
just it's completely unnested. This did not have to happen.
It's eighteen month old. And the pictures, of course little
blonde had big smile. They say, oh it's hard, it's
just awful. But we think about how could anybody do
not this? But like you always think as apparent when
(09:11):
we had little ones, I'd never leave my kid. I'll
never forget my kid in the car. And it happens
to good folks. It can happen when amid your running,
you a little tired, you forget, and it can happen
to good people.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It's usually when a change of schedule happens. We you
and I have both had to have covered it. I
certainly have where you normally you never do do the
drop off, and then suddenly you're required, you get a
phone call that redirects you forget the child in the backseat.
I can understand that. But this is inexcusable and disgusting.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right, We're going to continue on the run here
on this Wednesdays. It's Tuesday, on this Tuesday morning, continue
on this Tuesday morning. With the Supreme Court, it is
now paved the way for the Trump administration to deport
convicted criminals to third countries, meaning countries that they have
no connection to.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, the nation's highest court put on hold a federal
court's ruling that allowed convicted undocumented immigrants to make the
claim they would be at risk of torture, persecution, or
death if they were sent to those countries. The court
did not explain its reasoning, but one advocacy group said
the ramifications of the Supreme Court's order will be horrifying.
It strips away critical due process protections that have been
(10:18):
protecting our class members from torture and death.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The Department of Homeland Security had a different view on it,
saying it was a victory for the safety and security
of the American people, adding that the Department can now
execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens there were
to a country willing to accept them. Fire up the
deportation planes. That is from our department of Homeland Security.
(10:42):
Now all three liberal justices dissented in this decision.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Next up on the Run, the prosecution and the defense
are both expected to rest today in the Sean Diddycomb's trial.
The government's final witness, a Homeland Security agent, will continue
under cross examination this morning and when he finishes, prosecutors
say that will rest their case.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
The defense says it'll rest right after that because they're
not putting on any witnesses, not one. Rather, they're going
to submit some exhibits and as evidence and that's it.
So this is now the tentative schedule. Both sides rest
today Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, and attorneys and the judge will then hash out
jury instructions tomorrow. Then on Thursday, closing arguments both sides
are believed to be take. We'll take about four hours
and then the jury is expected to get instructions and
possibly start deliberating the case on Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
This is a very important week and we do these
stories day in day out, but something robes We forget
dimension is what the charges are. So a refresher here
to remind you what's at stake for him. He's facing
five counts. One is a racketeering conspiracy count that carries
a possible life sentence. He's facing two sex trafficking counts
those each have a fifteen year minimum, and then two
(11:56):
transportation to engage in prostitution counts those come with a
ten year maximum.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Next up on a roan a question for you, do
you trust WhatsApp because Congress sure does and the messaging
app is being banned on all government issued phones used
by staff in the House.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And the staffer has got the memo Monday from the
House Chief Administrative Officer who said the app was deemed
high risk to users due to the lack of transparency
and how to protect user data apbsence of data encryption,
and potential security risks involved with its use. That is
not a ringing endorsement of WhatsApp. And not only did
the memo dump on WhatsApp, it also recommended other better, safer,
(12:38):
secure apps that are proved for use, like Wicker. I
don't know that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
One, Wicker, I don't know Wicker at all.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Signal, Imassage, FaceTime and Teams or some that they recommend
it people use.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And you can imagine, Meta, who is the parent company
of WhatsApp, was none too pleased with this news and
responded by saying this, we disagree with the House Chief
Administrative Officer's character in the strongest possible terms. We know
members and their staffs regularly use WhatsApp, and we look
forward to insuring members of the House can join their
Senate counterparts in doing so. Officially, House staff is not
(13:12):
allowed to download or keep the app on any House device,
and if you have it now, you're going to be
contacted to remove it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I assume this has to extend those in confusion about
whether or not this would apply to House members themselves.
It applies to the staffers. I assume we would have to.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It seems like it should. Yes, it seems like that
would be a blanket statement. If you're saying it's not trustworthy,
then it would apply to everyone.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this Tuesday
morning run. When we come back an apology from a
hospital bed. Also, you might want to put down those
McDonald's fries just for a couple of days. We'll explain
why you're not supposed to be eating them this week.
And Dolly is back. If you want to see her,
you gotta go to vas all right, folks, let's continue
(14:06):
on this Tuesday morning run. Next leg takes us to Indianapolis,
where the Indiana Pacers confirmed what was suspected. They're superstar.
Tyrese Halliburton, who was arguably the most consequential player in
the playoffs this year, tore his right achilles in Game
seven of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It hurts me just to hear that. Oh. It happened
in the first quarter of the deciding game, which Oklahoma
City went on to win handily. He had already been
nursing a leg injury, but was determined to play Game seven.
He released a lengthy statement that was full of raw emotion.
Here's part of what he said. I've worked my whole
life to get to this moment, and this is how
it ends. Makes no sense now that I've gotten surgery.
(14:48):
I wish I could count the number of times people
will tell me I'm gonna come back stronger. What a cliche. Lol,
This shit sucks.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
You can see where that could come from. People just
used to say saying certain things to you when you
have moments and I look, I this might seem silly.
I was writing this story and the one about the
little boy in the car. I was in tears writing
those two stories. This morning again, I having slept a
little punchy and emotional, I suppose, but this really some
(15:18):
of his words really got to me. Halliburton here he
went on to say that honestly, right now, torn Achilles
and all, I don't regret it. I do it again
and again after that, to fight for this city and
my brothers for the chance to do something special. And
in this line, Indy, I'm sorry. If there's any fan
base that doesn't deserve this, it's y'all. That's crazy. He's
sitting there with he has a picture he posted of
(15:40):
him in the hospital bed, and he's apologizing to a
city for I guess being in the hospital, for being injured.
Upside here, he is just twenty five years old. He's
gonna miss a significant portion of next season, possibly the
whole season. So this is a guy who's key to
their championship dreams year after year, and they are good
enough to be competitive and he's out, possibly for the
(16:00):
whole year. That just sucks for him.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's devastating. But you know, hopefully there have been other
success stories of people turning it around. So she knows
there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
But it's going to be a long road, all right.
Next up on our run, it's McDonald's turn to be boycotted.
Today is the beginning of a so called McDonald's blackout
that's supposed to last through the end of the month.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And advocacy group behind this has targeted a number of
companies by four abandoning DEI programs. They call it their
economic Blackout Tour, which has included previous boycotts of Target
and Walmart. They claim economic resistance works and just as Target.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes, Target experienced a hefty drop in sales this year,
which was attributed to a number of factors, and Target
itself admitted that one of those factors was the backlash
from changing their DEI policies. This is a tough spot
for companies because the Trump administration is ordering one thing
and then consumers are demanding another. So we shall see
(16:58):
the impact this may have, possibly on McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
We don't leave McDonald's almost ever.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
No, but I do love it maybe twice a year.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
What isn't that the slogan did you do that on purpose? Bah? Bah?
Bah bah? He said, I love it? Did you do
it on purpose?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
No? I just was speaking from the HEARTDJ from the Heart, all.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right, volks, And for the final leg of our run,
we are headed to Vegas. Not figuratively this time. Really,
me and Robes are going to Vegas because Dolly is
going to be there. Dolly Parton, who retired from touring
a decade ago, says she is coming back to the
stage for a mini residency.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
She's going to do six concerts at Caesar's Palace later
this year, and in making the announcement, she started with this,
she's so cute. Grab your rhinestones. Vegas is calling and
she is no stranger to Vegas. It's just been a while,
like as in thirty years plus. Tickets for Dolly Live
in Las Vegas go on sale on Wednesday. There's a
specific time, is it ten am on Wednesday? I believe
(18:00):
the people who are going to be on their computers
ready to grab them up. Good luck everyone, because this
really is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
She gave up she was she retired from touring, but
that didn't mean she retired from performing. She just didn't
want to be out in the road anymore. You know,
husband will hanging out. I'm too old for this and
I got too much other stuff going on, But yeah,
this is really cool. There's going to be a demand
for them to add more shows.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I think, you know, and I think this is so
cool because we all know her longtime love of sixty years,
her husband of sixty years, Carl Deane, passed away in March,
and so you know, I know she's talked about battling
depression and dealing with the loss of the love of
her life, and so this is pot you know, I
think this is a beautiful way to do it, to
go back to do what she's great at, to do
(18:43):
with fans love, and just to feel all of that
love on stage.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I was worried, you know, that was a thing. They
called that heartbreaking. Yeah, I was. It's good to see
her active. This is probably very good for her to
stay active in doing what she loves after she lost
her love. So, Dolly, we will see you in Vegas.
Before we go, though, something we'd like to leave you with.
Something we'd like for you to consider as you go
about your day. Our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That's right, Worry a little bit every day and in
a lifetime, you will lose a couple of years. If
something is wrong, fix it. If you can but train
yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything. That is
from Ernest Hemingway, and it's the.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Key to happiness if you can actually do that. You
and I have done this, and you've we've seen each
other evolve in this way over the years. When something happens,
isn't nothing is going to change the situation by me worrying.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
About it, nothing at all. In fact, it's only going
to bring you down and bring your energy down, and
bringing your energy down changes your vibrations, which changes everything
in your life. So that's right, and this is something
we can all do. Just all you do is catch
yourself when you're doing it. Some people call it future casting,
some call it future tripping, but this really is just fature.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Tripping time right over your future.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Right and you're freaking out. You're spiraling over what could happen,
what might happen, And most often when you look back
and reflect, it never happened. It's what you didn't even
worry about or think about. It comes your way and
slams you up against the wall. So one more time
for you, courtesy of Ernest Hemingway, worry a little bit
every day and in a lifetime. You will lose a
couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if
(20:19):
you can, but train yourself not to worry. Worry never
fixes anything. And with that, thank you for running with
us everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:27):

be posting a Diddy Daily update as we have been

(01:25):
in thirty years. Very exciting news for Donaphis.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
A lot of folks are celebrating today with that news.
But we begin our morning run with a major announcement.
As of this morning, a ceasefire is in effect between
Israel and Iran, and this comes after a fast moving
and at times confusing turn of events in the Middle
East on Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It started with Ron launching retaliatory attacks on a US
military base and cutter, which was called a very weak

President Trump wrote, on the assumption that everything works as

both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage,
and intelligence to end what should be called the Twelve
Day War. This is a war that could have gone
on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but
it didn't and never will. God bless Israel, God bless Iran,
(03:16):
God blessed the Middle East, God blessed the United States
of America, and God bless the world.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
We all sound like friends again.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, there's already been a few more missiles fired.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Didn't We just saw that as of this recording, folks,
the ceasefire is an effect. And just moments ago we
did get a word that missiles were still being lobbed
at each other. Do you know who it was? Iran?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Iran fired some missiles into Israel. So we'll see if
the ceasefire holds. It is certainly tentative and probably changing

to his updates.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
In every ceasefire we cover, somebody described as a shaky ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yes, and someone always violates it. Then the other side
points the finger at the side that fired the missiles,
and then they retaliate, and hopefully it will die down
and eventually dissipate altogether.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
All Right, We're going to continue the run now with
the more than two hundred and fifty record highs and
record lows that could be set by the end of
the day today. The record lows are only record lows
because they're so high. It's so hot. It's not suppose
your low for the day is not supposed to be
eighty three. If you get what we're saying, Whether experts
say this dangerous heat wave could reach its peak in
(04:24):
some cities today through Wednesday, and this could go into Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Folks, that's right. More than one hundred and fifty million
Americans are under heat warnings as this heat dome continues
to bear down on the eastern half of the US,
with a level four out of four extreme heat risk,
giving people zero relief, yes, even in the overnight hours.
Here in New York, Central Park reached a record high
of ninety six on Monday, tying a record set back
(04:49):
in eighteen eighty eight. Today we're expected to top one
hundred degrees, which last happened in July of twenty twelve,
and I said July of twenty twelve, not June.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Across the river there from US, more than one hundred
and fifty people were evaluated for heat related illnesses and
sixteen people ended up in the emergency room during graduation
ceremonies in DC. Washington Monument was closed yesterday and remains
closed today because of the heat, and the Midwest roads
were buckling from the extreme heat, officials warning more streets
(05:18):
may crack as the temperatures continues to stay high.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Isn't that crazy to think about that. Asphalt is cracking
and buckling. That's how hot it is here in the
mid Atlantic. In the Northeast, trains were running slower with
wires sagging in the heat. Amtrak travelers were delayed because
of temperature related speed restrictions, and one stalled train in
Baltimore left passengers trapped in that heat with no AC
(05:43):
for more than an hour. And I must give you
major kudos TJ, because you didn't go to bed last night,
because you too were on a train headed back from
Philly and were delayed massively.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It was silly to pick a train that late. For
sure enough, I got an alert it was going to be
an hour and a half delaid in getting back at midnight.
So again I pray you all forgive me. I have
not had a wink of sleep this evening.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Your aura score is zero.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It actually is zero. I shouldn't have told people that.
Now they're gonna judge me very harsh.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I think they'll forgive you.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Okay, maybe I needed that. We will continue the run
here now we are in the middle of this heat
dome phenomenon, and unfortunately, it seems every year we do
hear stories on the news about kids dying after being
left in a hot car. In fact, last year there
were thirty nine hot car deaths involving children.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And oftentimes, and most of the times, this happens when
well meeting parents or caregivers make a mistake, They forget
they have their child in the back seat, they forget
to drop off their child where they were supposed to.
In fact, the National Highway Safety Administration says that is
the case in more than fifty percent of child hot
car deaths. Even say the majority happened on a Thursday
(06:54):
or a Friday, or at the end of the work week,
when folks are tired and forgetful, it makes sense the Oh,
but what happened in Florida is something altogether different.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This is a really tough story here, folks. A dad
is now facing aggravated manslaughter charges in the death of
his eighteen month old son, and in announcing the charges,
the police chief called the dad and I quote, a
human piece of garbage. He also called him, and I quote,
a lying sack of shit. This is coming from the
(07:25):
police chief. Now. Scott Allen Gardner is the man's name.
He is accused of leaving his son Sebastian in his
vehicle for hours while he went to get a haircut
and then went for drinks at a bar four robes
three hours.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I have chills from head to toe. That makes me
physically ill. Get this, It was ninety degrees outside the
window of the car is being described as slightly down
And according to police, Gardner went for that haircut at
eleven thirty am. This happened on June sixth, left his
baby in the car. Then about thirty minutes later, he
left the barbershop and went across the street to a
(08:02):
lounge and drank for three hours.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
They were even specific in saying he drank beer and
had shots while he was there. When he eventually left
that bar, police say he went to his mom's house
and that's where he called nine to one one. But
the boy was already dead at that point, and the
hospital says his body temperature was above one hundred and
seven degrees.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
And get this, after the child's death that day earlier
this month, Gardner and his mom went back to the
same bar for drinks the same night his child died.
Gardner is now being held without bond. And who said
this quote you have at the bottom of the script.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
This is again with from the police chief.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
He said, I don't think there's a penalty on this
earth that could ever fit for the crime that was committed.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Here just didn't have to happen. I mean to go
take him in the bar if you want to, and
that's an appropriate It is not good parenting. But thats
just it's completely unnested. This did not have to happen.
It's eighteen month old. And the pictures, of course little
blonde had big smile. They say, oh it's hard, it's
just awful. But we think about how could anybody do
not this? But like you always think as apparent when
(09:11):
we had little ones, I'd never leave my kid. I'll
never forget my kid in the car. And it happens
to good folks. It can happen when amid your running,
you a little tired, you forget, and it can happen
to good people.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
It's usually when a change of schedule happens. We you
and I have both had to have covered it. I
certainly have where you normally you never do do the
drop off, and then suddenly you're required, you get a
phone call that redirects you forget the child in the backseat.
I can understand that. But this is inexcusable and disgusting.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
All right, We're going to continue on the run here
on this Wednesdays. It's Tuesday, on this Tuesday morning, continue
on this Tuesday morning. With the Supreme Court, it is
now paved the way for the Trump administration to deport
convicted criminals to third countries, meaning countries that they have
no connection to.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yes, the nation's highest court put on hold a federal
court's ruling that allowed convicted undocumented immigrants to make the
claim they would be at risk of torture, persecution, or
death if they were sent to those countries. The court
did not explain its reasoning, but one advocacy group said
the ramifications of the Supreme Court's order will be horrifying.
It strips away critical due process protections that have been
(10:18):
protecting our class members from torture and death.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The Department of Homeland Security had a different view on it,
saying it was a victory for the safety and security
of the American people, adding that the Department can now
execute its lawful authority and remove illegal aliens there were
to a country willing to accept them. Fire up the
deportation planes. That is from our department of Homeland Security.
(10:42):
Now all three liberal justices dissented in this decision.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Next up on the Run, the prosecution and the defense
are both expected to rest today in the Sean Diddycomb's trial.
The government's final witness, a Homeland Security agent, will continue
under cross examination this morning and when he finishes, prosecutors
say that will rest their case.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
The defense says it'll rest right after that because they're
not putting on any witnesses, not one. Rather, they're going
to submit some exhibits and as evidence and that's it.
So this is now the tentative schedule. Both sides rest
today Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, and attorneys and the judge will then hash out
jury instructions tomorrow. Then on Thursday, closing arguments both sides
are believed to be take. We'll take about four hours
and then the jury is expected to get instructions and
possibly start deliberating the case on Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
This is a very important week and we do these
stories day in day out, but something robes We forget
dimension is what the charges are. So a refresher here
to remind you what's at stake for him. He's facing
five counts. One is a racketeering conspiracy count that carries
a possible life sentence. He's facing two sex trafficking counts
those each have a fifteen year minimum, and then two
(11:56):
transportation to engage in prostitution counts those come with a
ten year maximum.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Next up on a roan a question for you, do
you trust WhatsApp because Congress sure does and the messaging
app is being banned on all government issued phones used
by staff in the House.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And the staffer has got the memo Monday from the
House Chief Administrative Officer who said the app was deemed
high risk to users due to the lack of transparency
and how to protect user data apbsence of data encryption,
and potential security risks involved with its use. That is
not a ringing endorsement of WhatsApp. And not only did
the memo dump on WhatsApp, it also recommended other better, safer,
(12:38):
secure apps that are proved for use, like Wicker. I
don't know that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
One, Wicker, I don't know Wicker at all.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Signal, Imassage, FaceTime and Teams or some that they recommend
it people use.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And you can imagine, Meta, who is the parent company
of WhatsApp, was none too pleased with this news and
responded by saying this, we disagree with the House Chief
Administrative Officer's character in the strongest possible terms. We know
members and their staffs regularly use WhatsApp, and we look
forward to insuring members of the House can join their
Senate counterparts in doing so. Officially, House staff is not
(13:12):
allowed to download or keep the app on any House device,
and if you have it now, you're going to be
contacted to remove it.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I assume this has to extend those in confusion about
whether or not this would apply to House members themselves.
It applies to the staffers. I assume we would have to.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It seems like it should. Yes, it seems like that
would be a blanket statement. If you're saying it's not trustworthy,
then it would apply to everyone.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Right, Well, folks, stay with us here on this Tuesday
morning run. When we come back an apology from a
hospital bed. Also, you might want to put down those
McDonald's fries just for a couple of days. We'll explain
why you're not supposed to be eating them this week.
And Dolly is back. If you want to see her,
you gotta go to vas all right, folks, let's continue
(14:06):
on this Tuesday morning run. Next leg takes us to Indianapolis,
where the Indiana Pacers confirmed what was suspected. They're superstar.
Tyrese Halliburton, who was arguably the most consequential player in
the playoffs this year, tore his right achilles in Game
seven of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
It hurts me just to hear that. Oh. It happened
in the first quarter of the deciding game, which Oklahoma
City went on to win handily. He had already been
nursing a leg injury, but was determined to play Game seven.
He released a lengthy statement that was full of raw emotion.
Here's part of what he said. I've worked my whole
life to get to this moment, and this is how
it ends. Makes no sense now that I've gotten surgery.
(14:48):
I wish I could count the number of times people
will tell me I'm gonna come back stronger. What a cliche. Lol,
This shit sucks.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
You can see where that could come from. People just
used to say saying certain things to you when you
have moments and I look, I this might seem silly.
I was writing this story and the one about the
little boy in the car. I was in tears writing
those two stories. This morning again, I having slept a
little punchy and emotional, I suppose, but this really some
(15:18):
of his words really got to me. Halliburton here he
went on to say that honestly, right now, torn Achilles
and all, I don't regret it. I do it again
and again after that, to fight for this city and
my brothers for the chance to do something special. And
in this line, Indy, I'm sorry. If there's any fan
base that doesn't deserve this, it's y'all. That's crazy. He's
sitting there with he has a picture he posted of
(15:40):
him in the hospital bed, and he's apologizing to a
city for I guess being in the hospital, for being injured.
Upside here, he is just twenty five years old. He's
gonna miss a significant portion of next season, possibly the
whole season. So this is a guy who's key to
their championship dreams year after year, and they are good
enough to be competitive and he's out, possibly for the
(16:00):
whole year. That just sucks for him.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's devastating. But you know, hopefully there have been other
success stories of people turning it around. So she knows
there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
But it's going to be a long road, all right.
Next up on our run, it's McDonald's turn to be boycotted.
Today is the beginning of a so called McDonald's blackout
that's supposed to last through the end of the month.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And advocacy group behind this has targeted a number of
companies by four abandoning DEI programs. They call it their
economic Blackout Tour, which has included previous boycotts of Target
and Walmart. They claim economic resistance works and just as Target.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes, Target experienced a hefty drop in sales this year,
which was attributed to a number of factors, and Target
itself admitted that one of those factors was the backlash
from changing their DEI policies. This is a tough spot
for companies because the Trump administration is ordering one thing
and then consumers are demanding another. So we shall see
(16:58):
the impact this may have, possibly on McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
We don't leave McDonald's almost ever.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
No, but I do love it maybe twice a year.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
What isn't that the slogan did you do that on purpose? Bah? Bah?
Bah bah? He said, I love it? Did you do
it on purpose?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
No? I just was speaking from the HEARTDJ from the Heart, all.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right, volks, And for the final leg of our run,
we are headed to Vegas. Not figuratively this time. Really,
me and Robes are going to Vegas because Dolly is
going to be there. Dolly Parton, who retired from touring
a decade ago, says she is coming back to the
stage for a mini residency.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
She's going to do six concerts at Caesar's Palace later
this year, and in making the announcement, she started with this,
she's so cute. Grab your rhinestones. Vegas is calling and
she is no stranger to Vegas. It's just been a while,
like as in thirty years plus. Tickets for Dolly Live
in Las Vegas go on sale on Wednesday. There's a
specific time, is it ten am on Wednesday? I believe
(18:00):
the people who are going to be on their computers
ready to grab them up. Good luck everyone, because this
really is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
She gave up she was she retired from touring, but
that didn't mean she retired from performing. She just didn't
want to be out in the road anymore. You know,
husband will hanging out. I'm too old for this and
I got too much other stuff going on, But yeah,
this is really cool. There's going to be a demand
for them to add more shows.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I think, you know, and I think this is so
cool because we all know her longtime love of sixty years,
her husband of sixty years, Carl Deane, passed away in March,
and so you know, I know she's talked about battling
depression and dealing with the loss of the love of
her life, and so this is pot you know, I
think this is a beautiful way to do it, to
go back to do what she's great at, to do
(18:43):
with fans love, and just to feel all of that
love on stage.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I was worried, you know, that was a thing. They
called that heartbreaking. Yeah, I was. It's good to see
her active. This is probably very good for her to
stay active in doing what she loves after she lost
her love. So, Dolly, we will see you in Vegas.
Before we go, though, something we'd like to leave you with.
Something we'd like for you to consider as you go
about your day. Our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
That's right, Worry a little bit every day and in
a lifetime, you will lose a couple of years. If
something is wrong, fix it. If you can but train
yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything. That is
from Ernest Hemingway, and it's the.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Key to happiness if you can actually do that. You
and I have done this, and you've we've seen each
other evolve in this way over the years. When something happens,
isn't nothing is going to change the situation by me worrying.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
About it, nothing at all. In fact, it's only going
to bring you down and bring your energy down, and
bringing your energy down changes your vibrations, which changes everything
in your life. So that's right, and this is something
we can all do. Just all you do is catch
yourself when you're doing it. Some people call it future casting,
some call it future tripping, but this really is just fature.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Tripping time right over your future.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Right and you're freaking out. You're spiraling over what could happen,
what might happen, And most often when you look back
and reflect, it never happened. It's what you didn't even
worry about or think about. It comes your way and
slams you up against the wall. So one more time
for you, courtesy of Ernest Hemingway, worry a little bit
every day and in a lifetime. You will lose a
couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if
(20:19):
you can, but train yourself not to worry. Worry never
fixes anything. And with that, thank you for running with
us everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm DJ Holmes. Remember we will
be posting a Diddy Daily update as we have been
doing throughout the trial. You can look for that around
what noon Eastern time, but it will be there for
you as well. Appreciate you all listening as always, Talk
to you soon.
