Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, It's Tuesday, August nineteenth. I'm Amy Robots.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And I'm TJ Holmes. Was your sleep score last night?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I don't know. Birthday boy, Happy birthday?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, moved right on. Yes, it's my birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
You. I did not your birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Get your or ring score in time. Mine was a
sixty one.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
But you're still gonna have a great day to day
because it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You know. Part of the reason it is so bad
is because I stayed up till midnight, stayed up watching
you sleep, and Sabine and I sat and watched you sleep,
but she stayed up with me until midnight because it
is my birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yes, and then I did pop up and say happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, twelve fifteen, that's okay. Yeah, if you got it
in early.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
My sleep score is a sixty four. Because I did
try to stay up with you to midnight. I got
four hours and twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And this is where we are, folks. This is going
to be a great, great Rates Morning Run. And yes,
nothing made me feel my age more than the new
words that the Cambridge Dictionary has now put out have
you all seen this? They've got thousands of new words,
but skibbeity is one of them. Did you know what
that meant?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Nope, I don't even know what you just said.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Okay, and I still don't know how to use it
in a sentence. But we'll give you a few of
these new words being added, and yes a lot of
them are coming from TikTok and social media. Also MSNB
what how long is this going to take us? The
good used to ms now ms now, ms now MSNBC.
That name at least is going away. Oh my word.
(01:41):
And they do have a new name, ms now and
the nw stands for something.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, ms sands for something else now too because it
used to be Microsoft back in the day.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is going to take us a second. It's a
good used to but yes, that's a big shake up
in the world of cable news, of course, and a
diamond where twenty five million dollars was stolen and robes.
They took a year in planning.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yes, to do this, but it only took eight hours
for police to find them.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Do I I felt bad for them?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You wanted them to get away with it?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, I wanted them to get more than eight hours
of enjoyment after doing a year of your life.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's pretty remarkable when you hear about the details and
the investments, the financial investments they made to look as
though they could a for a diamond like this. It's
kind of crazy. This story's wild.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It is a while. Well, we will get into that
reminder right now, folks, do it now on your Apple
podcast app top right corner, a little tab right there
we see our show at the top right corner. It
says follow. Just click that. I think you can get
our updates anytime without having to go look for them.
Also on the run this morning, Zalinsky suits up, Texas
Democrats get hall passes, and airline strike just ended. This morning,
(02:50):
Measles is over and the ketamine Queen makes the deal.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Plus we have an update on the mass shooting in
New York over the weekend. Two shooters are among the dead,
and two police officers killed responding to a domestic violence
call in Utah. And we do have a happy update
to a very sad story about that NYPD officer who
was killed off duty. He was working as a security
guard in that midtown Manhattan building when that shooter walked in.
(03:17):
His wife you might remember, was eight months pregnant. Congratulations
are in order.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's a cute story that was just gutting at the
time to hear an officer was dead to hear he
has kids, but then here he has kids, a wife
and one on the way. Everything about it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
There is a beautiful picture of those two boys holding
their brand new baby brother that you have to go
check out if you haven't looked at it. But we
do begin our morning run on TJ's birthday in our
nation's capital. President Zelenski Makeover edition showed up at the
White House yesterday. We knew things were going to be
different this time around as soon as we laid eyes
(03:53):
on Zelenski because he switched up his attire.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, is silly and mine or is this may seem
he's a tie became such a focal point of his
previous confrontational visit to the Oval Office when he wore
was essentially a black long sleeve T shirt looking thing.
I think it was.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He always has that on.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yes, he oh everybody anytime here his uniform ever seen him.
It's what he wears, and it's a nod to war
still going on, and he's in solidary with soldiers. That
makes sense, but at the time going to the Oval office,
what he was wearing was criticized as disrespectful. Even a
reporter questioned him about it. Well, Zelenski yesterday switched things up.
(04:31):
He stopped short of a suit and tie. But he
showed up in a black shirt button all the way
up and a black jacket, and it looked a lot
more formal.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's right. And President Trump noticed it and at one
point even acknowledged that Zelensky looked fabulous in that suit.
The attire and the tone were both different in this
time around, because nobody yielded anybody yay, that's a win.
Zelensky was also joined by a number of European heads
of state as well as the head of NATO and
the European Union.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
After ward, as President Trump said, everybody was, as he
put it, happy about the possibility of peace and that
the security guarantees that Ukraine was going after are being
offered to them. He also said he called President Putin
right after the meeting, and this is how he put it,
began the arrangements for a meeting at a location to
be determined between President Putin and President Zelensky.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, that would be huge indeed, right all right? Next
up on the run, Those runaway Texas Democrats have returned
to the state capitol and Republicans are treating them like
elementary school children, requiring them to have what amounts to
basically hall passes if they want to leave class.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, of course, Democrats are now being forced into signing
what's been called permission slips, in which they have to
agree to round the clock shadowing by law enforcement officers
anytime they want to leave the House Chamber and move
around the capital. One even reported that they were followed
(05:58):
to the bathroom for a bathroom break. Now, Republicans are
trying to avoid a repeat disappearing act by a Democrats
who fled the state earlier this month during a special
session in order to prevent the Republicans from passing a
redistricting bill that could give their party a bigger advantage
in Congress.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well, another special session has been called to take up
the same redistricting measure, and Republicans want to make sure
that Democrats stay in town this time around. At least
one Texas Democrat refused to sign the so called permission
slip and then spent the night in the House chamber.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Because you're essentially not allowed to move around without an
officer with you. So since she's refusing that, then you
can't leave. And there's an argument in someone suggestion she's
being held there against her will. My goodness, this is
where we are. Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Everything is bigger in Texas, right, even the drama and
the headaches.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But something's getting smaller in Texas. Finally here as we
stay in West Texas that measles outbreak we talked so
and so much about for a while there, well they
are declaring it is over or after forty two days
of no new cases from months. West Texas had been
the epicenter of the outbreak that hospitalized nearly one hundred
folks and killed two children.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It was the largest outbreak in this country in more
than two decades. Texas health officials say. Unfortunately, though the
outbreak did not result in more residents getting vaccinated. Instead,
it appears as though the virus just simply ran out
of vulnerable, unvaccinated people to In fact, that is how
health officials put it. So. It wasn't as if it
convinced people or motivated people to get vaccinated or to
(07:32):
get their children vaccinated. They just literally it ran through
the unvaccinated.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh yeah, all right. Continuing now on the run, next
leg takes us to California with a woman known as
the Ketamine Queen, has agreed to plead guilty to federal
drug charges and connection with Matthew Perry's death. According to
a prosecutor's forty two year old Jazzvine Sanga is now
facing maximum a maximum sentence of sixty two years in
(07:58):
prison for her role.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Her attorneys said she is taking responsibility for her actions
because in the weeks leading up to Perry's fatal overdose,
police Dysanga worked with an acquaintance of Perry's and sold
Perry fifty one vials of ketymine. Several other people, including
two doctors and Perry's personal assistant, all pleaded guilty to
ketemine distribution charges.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And Perry was found faced down in his pool in
the Pacific Pali Stades in October of twenty twenty three.
A medical examiner said the amount of ketamine found in
his body at the time was equivalent to the amount
physicians might use in general anesthesia.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
That is scary.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I don't have a concept of a vial in how
much in a vial is too much to be in
your body.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
But fifty one. And first of all, if a physician
isn't administering it at number one, but number two, fifty
one vials, that speaks volumes, all right. Next up on
the run, we're heading to Manhattan, where there is a
beautiful bright spot in an otherwise tragic story. The pregnant
widow of the NYPI officer who was shot and killed
in that Midtown Manhattan shooting last month gave birth to
(09:04):
a healthy baby boy.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
The officer, Diderol Islam, was among the four people shot
that day. He was off duty but working as a
security guard for the building. Islam's wife was eight months
pregnant at the time with two other young sons. Mayor
Adam stopped by the hospital and said, quote, as Mayor,
I want to assure the detective and his family that
we are going to continue to be there for them.
(09:26):
They are our family and the family of this great
city New York.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Islam was posthumously promoted to detective. He was an immigrant
from Bangladesh. He was on the force for three and
a half years. He is the first Bangladeshi officer killed
in the line of duty in New York City.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know, we talk about it, and we see it,
of course all the time we're in New York. But
so many of these officers do spend so much of
their time trying to make money, trying to make extra money,
and we see them, we consider them off duty almost.
That was supposed to be a safer gig, right than
working on duty.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So oh yeah, I hadn't even thought about it from
that PERSPECTI but yeah, they don't make enough that they
have to do side hustles and moonlight and all of
that to make ends meet. But it's just so tragic.
But congratulations to the Islam family.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
All right, we continue on the run now stay in
New York City. Had to Brooklyn for an update on
that mass shooting over the weekend. It turns out two
of the three people killed were actually gunmen.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Police identified them as two of the four shooters that
night who hit a total of fourteen people inside the
Taste of the City lounge and Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The
other two shooters are still on the run as of
this morning. Police did identify the third man who was
killed in the shooting as an innocent bystander, twenty seven
year old Amadu Diallo, who was just going home from
(10:42):
work on his bike. He was an Uber driver. He
was a delivery guy for DoorDash, so he was literally
finishing up his night's work and heading home.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But wasn't didn't stop by the club. They'll have a
drink on the way, I hang out. He had nothing
to do with the club, correct, Oh man ooh. The
eleven others injured, ranging eight from nineteen to sixty one,
all suffered non life threatening injuries. Police say the shooting
was gang related. New York City officials have been urging
anyone with information to come forward.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And next up on the run, we are heading to Utah,
where two police officers were killed and a third injured
after they responded to a domestic disturbance call. The wounded
officer was treated and released from the hospital yesterday thankfully,
and a police dog that was also shot remains in
the hospital in fair condition.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That police chief called slain officer Sergeant Lee Sowrenson and
Eric Astrada hero saying domestic disturbance calls are the most
dangerous events officers are dispatched to, adding that we really
don't know what we're walking into the night of the shooting.
Police received multiple nine to one to one hang up
calls from a home and when the first officer responded
(11:47):
to the scene, man with the gun approached him and
opened fire. That's when a second officer responded. The man
immediately fired on him as well.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And as soon as those officers were shot, neighbors who
were looking on were able to convince the man to
put down his weapon, and that's when the SWAT teams
responded and they were able to take him into custody.
He is now being charged with aggravated murder.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
All right, we'll stay with us on this morning's ron
when we come back Air Canada. They're finally putting the
air back in the name and those flights maybe finally
getting off the ground again. Also, thieves got away with
a twenty five million dollar diamond. They did not have
a long time to enjoy it. Also, MSNBC is getting
(12:32):
a name change. Msnow will explain. Also, what is a broligarchy.
It's one of the new words added to the dictionary
this year. Let's continue on this Tuesday run now and
(12:54):
tens of thousands of passengers left stranded by that Air
Canada strike might find finally begetting off the ground and soon.
Word just in this morning that the airline and its
flight attendants have reached a tentative deal to end the strike.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
The airline has been totally grounded, no flights at all,
after its flight attendants went on strike over the weekend.
Soon after they initiated the work stoppage, the government stepped
in and ordered those flight attendants back to work, and
the airline announced they'd be back up and running Monday,
which was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
The union's response to that, if Air Canada thinks planes
will be flying Monday afternoon, they are sorely mistaken.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That hell they called that. We called that on yesterday's
morning round. I was like, right, as if they're going to.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Go back up now after defying the government's back to
work order. The strike was deemed unlawful by Canada's Labor Board,
but ten thousand flight attendants continued to strike, and they
were striking over pay, of course and work schedules.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, the airline said more than half a million passengers
were impacted. Will they now expect to be flying again
by this evening, But they warn't it could be a
week to a week and a half before they are
fully back up and running.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
We'll continue on the run. Now we'll head overseas where
officials in Dubai were able to stop a trio of
thieves who police they stole a pink diamond valued at
twenty five million dollars. This is a rare, rare fine.
The suspects reportedly spent a year planning the heights. A year.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yes, so here's what they did. They posed as wealthy individuals,
renting luxury vehicles and holding meetings with the jeweler in
upscale hotels. These hotel rooms that they rented all to
put on this appearance of being able to afford a
twenty five million dollar ring. They even hired a diamond
expert to authenticate the diamond, which further convinced the seller
(14:45):
that these were serious buyers. Police say the suspects were
finally able to steal the gem after convincing that seller
to bring the diamond out of his secure shop to
a villa.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now police track them down within eight hours of stealing
the How they do that? They were reportedly planning to
smuggle it out of the country and a small refrigerator
bound for an Asian destination. And that is in quotes
there that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That is the information we got directly from police.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
They were only on the run for eight hours. You
can't really appreciate it in eight hours. That's too bad.
The pink diamond is more than twenty one care, it's
official say, because of its unique purity rating, along with
its clarity and symmetry. There is only a point zero
one percent chance of ever finding another stone on Earth
like it, and that's why it costs what it costs.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's gorgeous. I saw the picture. Man, It's stunning, all right.
Next up on the run. Breaking up is hard to do,
and sometimes a name change is involved. As MSNBC splits
from NBC News, the NBC part of its name has
got to go.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That's like a divorce, right.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
That's what I was trying to imply.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You don't get to keep that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Okay. It will soon be called ms NOW, which stands
for My Source News Opinion World.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I feel like that's trying a little.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Too my source opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wait, my opinion, this is weird.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Okay, ms NOW, my source news opinion World? Are those
five different ideas? No? My source?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yep, my source? And then you get news do you
get opinion?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And they bring you the well, okay, all right, it's
gonna drop the signature peacock logo. I did not know
I was going to get that hung up on the
name change. They're going to uveail a new logo later
this year. Comcast, the parent company of MSNBC, announced last
year it would be spinning off it's cable networks into
a separate company called vers Versed.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yes, CNBC USA Network, Oxygen E, sci Fi, and the
Golf Channel will all be under that new umbrella. MSNBC
president Rebecca Cutler said the new name will not mean
an editorial change, saying, while our name will be changing,
who we are and what we do will not.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
CNBC will keep its name, but the initials will now
stand for Consumer News and Business Channel.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That worked out. It worked out well for them with
the They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Come up with anna to keep MSNBC or were they
not allowed to keep.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
The I don't know, but CNBC was allowed to keep
the NBC.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You come they what MSNBC?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't know. Look, I worked there for you worked
there for a little while too. I worked there for
gosh twelve no, nine years, ten years. But it was
always a big thing between NBC News and MSNBC because
when the cable neppers started to go left of center,
the NBC correspondents, who obviously are doing their best to
have a very middle of the road reporting, it was
(17:42):
a tough thing to go back and forth. So now
MSNBC or ms NOW is having a hiring spree because
they have to bring in new folks because they are
no longer going to be using the NBC people as
they did for so many years. Ms now, ms now,
all right, for the final leg of our run. Thousands
of new words have been added to the Cambridge Dictionary
for this year, so we wanted to see if you
(18:04):
had any idea. Would any of these new words mean? Skivity, delulu, brola, garchy.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Have you ever heard of one of those?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No? I have not heard of delulu maybe, but skibvity.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Because you use de lulu in a sentence right now?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well I can, because like you're being very delulu right now?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Delusional? Yes, okay, all right. Those are just a few
folks of the new entries Cambridge announced it's added to
its dictionary, and many of them are social media creations
highlighting the influence of TikTok on culture and how we
community communicate. So skibbity I did not know, do not
know how to use it in an ascendence. But according to Cambridge,
it has different meanings such as cool or bad, or
(18:49):
can be used with no real meaning at all as
a joke. For example, that's very skivity riz of you.
That means that's cool.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But the other way givinty riz. Yeah, riz means a charisma,
So that's like, you have cool charisma.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, that's very givity.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Is givity riz of you? What the skivity are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So that's just using it any way you want to use.
What the skivity are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
That's like that's like replacing the F bomb.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Shut the skivvy up, Yes, skivity skivity Okay Delulu short
for delusional means believing things that are not real or true,
usually because you choose to okay and then look, but
it's spelled l WK. I've definitely heard this a particular
style of fashion or outfit that's unusual.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Or impressive, like like like good look, but l w
k am I saying it right, Luke, looky.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Man, I just work here, trad wife. We've heard this
one thrown around a little bit traditional wife. And then broligarchy.
I didn't know this one. They've added. It's a small
group of men, especially men owning or involved in technology business,
who are extremely rich and powerful and who have or
want political influence. That'siarchy. That's an isshing of a brow.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I like that one.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All right, folks, on this Tuesday though, before we let
you go, something we'd like for you to consider. They
take with you. It's our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
That from Babe Ruth. I love that. It's just a
that's how you win. You just keep on trucking, you
keep on working, you keep on getting up and doing
your thing.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The first thing I thought about is playing basketball in
high school, when you go play against guys that you
know weren't better than you. They weren't as athletic, their
record wasn't all this stuff, but you couldn't put them
away because they were just scrappy, and it's like a gnat.
They just wouldn't stop coming, and you felt like you
could never beat them. That's the first thing that popped
in my mind with it. But yeah, when people just
(20:43):
come come keep coming at you. They're never gonna lose.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's right. So you just can't beat the person who
never gives up. So be that person who never gives up.
And with that everyone, thank you for joining us on
this Tuesday morning run. Happy birthday, baby, I can't wait
to spend the day with So let's.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Get off of this morning run now. I'm TJ. Holmes.

sixty one.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
But you're still gonna have a great day to day
because it's your birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You know. Part of the reason it is so bad
is because I stayed up till midnight, stayed up watching
you sleep, and Sabine and I sat and watched you sleep,
but she stayed up with me until midnight because it
is my birthday.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yes, and then I did pop up and say happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, twelve fifteen, that's okay. Yeah, if you got it
in early.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
My sleep score is a sixty four. Because I did
try to stay up with you to midnight. I got
four hours and twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And this is where we are, folks. This is going
to be a great, great Rates Morning Run. And yes,
nothing made me feel my age more than the new
words that the Cambridge Dictionary has now put out have
you all seen this? They've got thousands of new words,
but skibbeity is one of them. Did you know what
that meant?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Nope, I don't even know what you just said.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Okay, and I still don't know how to use it
in a sentence. But we'll give you a few of
these new words being added, and yes a lot of
them are coming from TikTok and social media. Also MSNB
what how long is this going to take us? The
good used to ms now ms now, ms now MSNBC.
That name at least is going away. Oh my word.
(01:41):
And they do have a new name, ms now and
the nw stands for something.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, ms sands for something else now too because it
used to be Microsoft back in the day.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is going to take us a second. It's a
good used to but yes, that's a big shake up
in the world of cable news, of course, and a
diamond where twenty five million dollars was stolen and robes.
They took a year in planning.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yes, to do this, but it only took eight hours
for police to find them.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Do I I felt bad for them?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You wanted them to get away with it?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, I wanted them to get more than eight hours
of enjoyment after doing a year of your life.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's pretty remarkable when you hear about the details and
the investments, the financial investments they made to look as
though they could a for a diamond like this. It's
kind of crazy. This story's wild.
Speaker 2 (02:27):

our updates anytime without having to go look for them.
Also on the run this morning, Zalinsky suits up, Texas
Democrats get hall passes, and airline strike just ended. This morning,
(02:50):
Measles is over and the ketamine Queen makes the deal.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Plus we have an update on the mass shooting in
New York over the weekend. Two shooters are among the dead,
and two police officers killed responding to a domestic violence
call in Utah. And we do have a happy update
to a very sad story about that NYPD officer who
was killed off duty. He was working as a security
guard in that midtown Manhattan building when that shooter walked in.
(03:17):
His wife you might remember, was eight months pregnant. Congratulations
are in order.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's a cute story that was just gutting at the
time to hear an officer was dead to hear he
has kids, but then here he has kids, a wife
and one on the way. Everything about it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
There is a beautiful picture of those two boys holding
their brand new baby brother that you have to go
check out if you haven't looked at it. But we
do begin our morning run on TJ's birthday in our
nation's capital. President Zelenski Makeover edition showed up at the
White House yesterday. We knew things were going to be
different this time around as soon as we laid eyes
(03:53):
on Zelenski because he switched up his attire.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, is silly and mine or is this may seem
he's a tie became such a focal point of his
previous confrontational visit to the Oval Office when he wore
was essentially a black long sleeve T shirt looking thing.
I think it was.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
He always has that on.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yes, he oh everybody anytime here his uniform ever seen him.
It's what he wears, and it's a nod to war
still going on, and he's in solidary with soldiers. That
makes sense, but at the time going to the Oval office,
what he was wearing was criticized as disrespectful. Even a
reporter questioned him about it. Well, Zelenski yesterday switched things up.
(04:31):
He stopped short of a suit and tie. But he
showed up in a black shirt button all the way
up and a black jacket, and it looked a lot
more formal.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's right. And President Trump noticed it and at one
point even acknowledged that Zelensky looked fabulous in that suit.
The attire and the tone were both different in this
time around, because nobody yielded anybody yay, that's a win.
Zelensky was also joined by a number of European heads
of state as well as the head of NATO and
the European Union.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
After ward, as President Trump said, everybody was, as he
put it, happy about the possibility of peace and that
the security guarantees that Ukraine was going after are being
offered to them. He also said he called President Putin
right after the meeting, and this is how he put it,
began the arrangements for a meeting at a location to
be determined between President Putin and President Zelensky.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, that would be huge indeed, right all right? Next
up on the run, Those runaway Texas Democrats have returned
to the state capitol and Republicans are treating them like
elementary school children, requiring them to have what amounts to
basically hall passes if they want to leave class.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, of course, Democrats are now being forced into signing
what's been called permission slips, in which they have to
agree to round the clock shadowing by law enforcement officers
anytime they want to leave the House Chamber and move
around the capital. One even reported that they were followed
(05:58):
to the bathroom for a bathroom break. Now, Republicans are
trying to avoid a repeat disappearing act by a Democrats
who fled the state earlier this month during a special
session in order to prevent the Republicans from passing a
redistricting bill that could give their party a bigger advantage
in Congress.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well, another special session has been called to take up
the same redistricting measure, and Republicans want to make sure
that Democrats stay in town this time around. At least
one Texas Democrat refused to sign the so called permission
slip and then spent the night in the House chamber.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Because you're essentially not allowed to move around without an
officer with you. So since she's refusing that, then you
can't leave. And there's an argument in someone suggestion she's
being held there against her will. My goodness, this is
where we are. Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Everything is bigger in Texas, right, even the drama and
the headaches.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But something's getting smaller in Texas. Finally here as we
stay in West Texas that measles outbreak we talked so
and so much about for a while there, well they
are declaring it is over or after forty two days
of no new cases from months. West Texas had been
the epicenter of the outbreak that hospitalized nearly one hundred
folks and killed two children.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It was the largest outbreak in this country in more
than two decades. Texas health officials say. Unfortunately, though the
outbreak did not result in more residents getting vaccinated. Instead,
it appears as though the virus just simply ran out
of vulnerable, unvaccinated people to In fact, that is how
health officials put it. So. It wasn't as if it
convinced people or motivated people to get vaccinated or to
(07:32):
get their children vaccinated. They just literally it ran through
the unvaccinated.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh yeah, all right. Continuing now on the run, next
leg takes us to California with a woman known as
the Ketamine Queen, has agreed to plead guilty to federal
drug charges and connection with Matthew Perry's death. According to
a prosecutor's forty two year old Jazzvine Sanga is now
facing maximum a maximum sentence of sixty two years in
(07:58):
prison for her role.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Her attorneys said she is taking responsibility for her actions
because in the weeks leading up to Perry's fatal overdose,
police Dysanga worked with an acquaintance of Perry's and sold
Perry fifty one vials of ketymine. Several other people, including
two doctors and Perry's personal assistant, all pleaded guilty to
ketemine distribution charges.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And Perry was found faced down in his pool in
the Pacific Pali Stades in October of twenty twenty three.
A medical examiner said the amount of ketamine found in
his body at the time was equivalent to the amount
physicians might use in general anesthesia.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
That is scary.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I don't have a concept of a vial in how
much in a vial is too much to be in
your body.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
But fifty one. And first of all, if a physician
isn't administering it at number one, but number two, fifty
one vials, that speaks volumes, all right. Next up on
the run, we're heading to Manhattan, where there is a
beautiful bright spot in an otherwise tragic story. The pregnant
widow of the NYPI officer who was shot and killed
in that Midtown Manhattan shooting last month gave birth to
(09:04):
a healthy baby boy.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
The officer, Diderol Islam, was among the four people shot
that day. He was off duty but working as a
security guard for the building. Islam's wife was eight months
pregnant at the time with two other young sons. Mayor
Adam stopped by the hospital and said, quote, as Mayor,
I want to assure the detective and his family that
we are going to continue to be there for them.
(09:26):
They are our family and the family of this great
city New York.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Islam was posthumously promoted to detective. He was an immigrant
from Bangladesh. He was on the force for three and
a half years. He is the first Bangladeshi officer killed
in the line of duty in New York City.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You know, we talk about it, and we see it,
of course all the time we're in New York. But
so many of these officers do spend so much of
their time trying to make money, trying to make extra money,
and we see them, we consider them off duty almost.
That was supposed to be a safer gig, right than
working on duty.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
So oh yeah, I hadn't even thought about it from
that PERSPECTI but yeah, they don't make enough that they
have to do side hustles and moonlight and all of
that to make ends meet. But it's just so tragic.
But congratulations to the Islam family.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
All right, we continue on the run now stay in
New York City. Had to Brooklyn for an update on
that mass shooting over the weekend. It turns out two
of the three people killed were actually gunmen.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Police identified them as two of the four shooters that
night who hit a total of fourteen people inside the
Taste of the City lounge and Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The
other two shooters are still on the run as of
this morning. Police did identify the third man who was
killed in the shooting as an innocent bystander, twenty seven
year old Amadu Diallo, who was just going home from
(10:42):
work on his bike. He was an Uber driver. He
was a delivery guy for DoorDash, so he was literally
finishing up his night's work and heading home.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But wasn't didn't stop by the club. They'll have a
drink on the way, I hang out. He had nothing
to do with the club, correct, Oh man ooh. The
eleven others injured, ranging eight from nineteen to sixty one,
all suffered non life threatening injuries. Police say the shooting
was gang related. New York City officials have been urging
anyone with information to come forward.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And next up on the run, we are heading to Utah,
where two police officers were killed and a third injured
after they responded to a domestic disturbance call. The wounded
officer was treated and released from the hospital yesterday thankfully,
and a police dog that was also shot remains in
the hospital in fair condition.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That police chief called slain officer Sergeant Lee Sowrenson and
Eric Astrada hero saying domestic disturbance calls are the most
dangerous events officers are dispatched to, adding that we really
don't know what we're walking into the night of the shooting.
Police received multiple nine to one to one hang up
calls from a home and when the first officer responded
(11:47):
to the scene, man with the gun approached him and
opened fire. That's when a second officer responded. The man
immediately fired on him as well.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
And as soon as those officers were shot, neighbors who
were looking on were able to convince the man to
put down his weapon, and that's when the SWAT teams
responded and they were able to take him into custody.
He is now being charged with aggravated murder.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
All right, we'll stay with us on this morning's ron
when we come back Air Canada. They're finally putting the
air back in the name and those flights maybe finally
getting off the ground again. Also, thieves got away with
a twenty five million dollar diamond. They did not have
a long time to enjoy it. Also, MSNBC is getting
(12:32):
a name change. Msnow will explain. Also, what is a broligarchy.
It's one of the new words added to the dictionary
this year. Let's continue on this Tuesday run now and
(12:54):
tens of thousands of passengers left stranded by that Air
Canada strike might find finally begetting off the ground and soon.
Word just in this morning that the airline and its
flight attendants have reached a tentative deal to end the strike.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
The airline has been totally grounded, no flights at all,
after its flight attendants went on strike over the weekend.
Soon after they initiated the work stoppage, the government stepped
in and ordered those flight attendants back to work, and
the airline announced they'd be back up and running Monday,
which was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
The union's response to that, if Air Canada thinks planes
will be flying Monday afternoon, they are sorely mistaken.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That hell they called that. We called that on yesterday's
morning round. I was like, right, as if they're going to.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Go back up now after defying the government's back to
work order. The strike was deemed unlawful by Canada's Labor Board,
but ten thousand flight attendants continued to strike, and they
were striking over pay, of course and work schedules.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, the airline said more than half a million passengers
were impacted. Will they now expect to be flying again
by this evening, But they warn't it could be a
week to a week and a half before they are
fully back up and running.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
We'll continue on the run. Now we'll head overseas where
officials in Dubai were able to stop a trio of
thieves who police they stole a pink diamond valued at
twenty five million dollars. This is a rare, rare fine.
The suspects reportedly spent a year planning the heights. A year.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yes, so here's what they did. They posed as wealthy individuals,
renting luxury vehicles and holding meetings with the jeweler in
upscale hotels. These hotel rooms that they rented all to
put on this appearance of being able to afford a
twenty five million dollar ring. They even hired a diamond
expert to authenticate the diamond, which further convinced the seller
(14:45):
that these were serious buyers. Police say the suspects were
finally able to steal the gem after convincing that seller
to bring the diamond out of his secure shop to
a villa.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now police track them down within eight hours of stealing
the How they do that? They were reportedly planning to
smuggle it out of the country and a small refrigerator
bound for an Asian destination. And that is in quotes
there that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
That is the information we got directly from police.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
They were only on the run for eight hours. You
can't really appreciate it in eight hours. That's too bad.
The pink diamond is more than twenty one care, it's
official say, because of its unique purity rating, along with
its clarity and symmetry. There is only a point zero
one percent chance of ever finding another stone on Earth
like it, and that's why it costs what it costs.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's gorgeous. I saw the picture. Man, It's stunning, all right.
Next up on the run. Breaking up is hard to do,
and sometimes a name change is involved. As MSNBC splits
from NBC News, the NBC part of its name has
got to go.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That's like a divorce, right.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
That's what I was trying to imply.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You don't get to keep that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Okay. It will soon be called ms NOW, which stands
for My Source News Opinion World.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I feel like that's trying a little.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Too my source opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Wait, my opinion, this is weird.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Okay, ms NOW, my source news opinion World? Are those
five different ideas? No? My source?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yep, my source? And then you get news do you
get opinion?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And they bring you the well, okay, all right, it's
gonna drop the signature peacock logo. I did not know
I was going to get that hung up on the
name change. They're going to uveail a new logo later
this year. Comcast, the parent company of MSNBC, announced last
year it would be spinning off it's cable networks into
a separate company called vers Versed.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yes, CNBC USA Network, Oxygen E, sci Fi, and the
Golf Channel will all be under that new umbrella. MSNBC
president Rebecca Cutler said the new name will not mean
an editorial change, saying, while our name will be changing,
who we are and what we do will not.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
CNBC will keep its name, but the initials will now
stand for Consumer News and Business Channel.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
That worked out. It worked out well for them with
the They couldn't.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Come up with anna to keep MSNBC or were they
not allowed to keep.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
The I don't know, but CNBC was allowed to keep
the NBC.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
You come they what MSNBC?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I don't know. Look, I worked there for you worked
there for a little while too. I worked there for
gosh twelve no, nine years, ten years. But it was
always a big thing between NBC News and MSNBC because
when the cable neppers started to go left of center,
the NBC correspondents, who obviously are doing their best to
have a very middle of the road reporting, it was
(17:42):
a tough thing to go back and forth. So now
MSNBC or ms NOW is having a hiring spree because
they have to bring in new folks because they are
no longer going to be using the NBC people as
they did for so many years. Ms now, ms now,
all right, for the final leg of our run. Thousands
of new words have been added to the Cambridge Dictionary
for this year, so we wanted to see if you
(18:04):
had any idea. Would any of these new words mean? Skivity, delulu, brola, garchy.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Have you ever heard of one of those?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No? I have not heard of delulu maybe, but skibvity.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Because you use de lulu in a sentence right now?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well I can, because like you're being very delulu right now?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Delusional? Yes, okay, all right. Those are just a few
folks of the new entries Cambridge announced it's added to
its dictionary, and many of them are social media creations
highlighting the influence of TikTok on culture and how we
community communicate. So skibbity I did not know, do not
know how to use it in an ascendence. But according to Cambridge,
it has different meanings such as cool or bad, or
(18:49):
can be used with no real meaning at all as
a joke. For example, that's very skivity riz of you.
That means that's cool.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But the other way givinty riz. Yeah, riz means a charisma,
So that's like, you have cool charisma.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah, that's very givity.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Is givity riz of you? What the skivity are you doing?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So that's just using it any way you want to use.
What the skivity are you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
That's like that's like replacing the F bomb.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You can do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Shut the skivvy up, Yes, skivity skivity Okay Delulu short
for delusional means believing things that are not real or true,
usually because you choose to okay and then look, but
it's spelled l WK. I've definitely heard this a particular
style of fashion or outfit that's unusual.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Or impressive, like like like good look, but l w
k am I saying it right, Luke, looky.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Man, I just work here, trad wife. We've heard this
one thrown around a little bit traditional wife. And then broligarchy.
I didn't know this one. They've added. It's a small
group of men, especially men owning or involved in technology business,
who are extremely rich and powerful and who have or
want political influence. That'siarchy. That's an isshing of a brow.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I like that one.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
All right, folks, on this Tuesday though, before we let
you go, something we'd like for you to consider. They
take with you. It's our quote of the day.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You just can't beat the person who never gives up.
That from Babe Ruth. I love that. It's just a
that's how you win. You just keep on trucking, you
keep on working, you keep on getting up and doing
your thing.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The first thing I thought about is playing basketball in
high school, when you go play against guys that you
know weren't better than you. They weren't as athletic, their
record wasn't all this stuff, but you couldn't put them
away because they were just scrappy, and it's like a gnat.
They just wouldn't stop coming, and you felt like you
could never beat them. That's the first thing that popped
in my mind with it. But yeah, when people just
(20:43):
come come keep coming at you. They're never gonna lose.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's right. So you just can't beat the person who
never gives up. So be that person who never gives up.
And with that everyone, thank you for joining us on
this Tuesday morning run. Happy birthday, baby, I can't wait
to spend the day with So let's.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Get off of this morning run now. I'm TJ. Holmes.
We got some celebrating to do. What's see, y'all do
