Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, Welcome to Morning Run. It's Thursday, November sixth I'm Amy Robots.
00:00:10
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ Holmes and sorry to start this way, folks, but it's uh, we just got a more dire warning about how much worse is gonna get for air travel in this country if the shutdown continues rose. They are just going to flat out every day start canceling a number of flights. This is now, God, I didn't think it was gonna get this far. We keep hearing things, but now this, this is a new major wrinkle.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: And it begins tomorrow, correct, starting Friday, folks.
00:00:40
Speaker 2: The yes, folks, starting tomorrow. You're gonna have to check because it's gonna be random, and we don't know what airports we're gonna get into all this, but they are going to flat out start just canceling a certain number of flights, and the number of thousands. It looks like every day, daily, Yes, every single day. We will get into that. Also, You and I struggle. I mean, it's a lot of pressure for the person sitting in the passenger seat when you're driving somebody else is driving and you say hey, I need directions. Which way do I go? I'll be making the left. When is the turn coming? Maybe?
00:01:09
Speaker 3: Is it right here? Or is it the next turn?
00:01:10
Speaker 4: Yes?
00:01:11
Speaker 2: I know you felt that pressure before, but that pressure is gonna come off because we have a new AI assistant. Who is they say, robes going to serve and feel like you got somebody sitting in the seat next to you and all you got to say is hey, where do we go?
00:01:26
Speaker 4: And they're gonna answer.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: Is the turn right here? Yes?
00:01:28
Speaker 1: It is like they'll be able to actually communicate with you like an AI passenger. So this is a backseat driver that actually knows what they're talking about.
00:01:37
Speaker 2: Hey, you know us men, we still won't listen, but we will get it. We'll explain that as always, folks. Top right corner of your Apple podcast app, where you see our show page, just click that button that says follow. You can get our updates coming to you all the time. Also on the run this morning, we are waiting on scotis clemency for a death row inmate. The Mexican press presses charges the richest man in the world is up for a raise. Funny money is floating around Florida Paris, high fashion and sheen.
00:02:03
Speaker 4: Apparently don't go together.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: Also terror, rests and a typhoon to tell you about this morning, but robes, we do have to start with what's happening in this.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Gay that's right first up on the run. Everybody, listen up. This is a major air travel alert that is guaranteed to make the current chaos of shutdown travel even more frustrating. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the administration will start reducing daily flights in the United States by up to ten percent starting tomorrow.
00:02:33
Speaker 2: That is thousands of flights, folks. We have an average forty to forty five thousand flights in this country every single day.
00:02:41
Speaker 4: Ten percent. Do the math.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: So somebody who's flying tomorrow, we don't know who it is, your flight is just going to get canceled.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Lucky us.
00:02:49
Speaker 1: Did you see we already got an email from the airline we're flying, we're actually flying on American airlines already warning us to check christ that they couldn't it wasn't their control, under their control, but just to be aware.
00:03:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that point is a lot of the airlines don't want to know what to do. It's out of their hands, because this plan is supposed to start tomorrow. It's going to reduce flights at forty of the highest volume airports, but they haven't designated which ones are going to be impacted first. We're supposed to get those details today. Now, Sean Duffy, how is he now the most high profile and famous member of the cabinet. It's transportation secretary. He warned previously that they might have to start closing airspace if the shutdown continues, as air traffic controllers continue to call out sick and higher.
00:03:35
Speaker 4: And higher numbers.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: And it's understandable these air traffic controllers are not being paid during the shutdown, and today actually marks the one month anniversary since controllers received their last paychecks, so they're now down two paychecks.
00:03:50
Speaker 4: Correct about that in your life?
00:03:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but most people sitting and listening, if you go a month and money is not coming into your home, that's just not going to work, right.
00:03:58
Speaker 1: I Mean, they tell you to have a couple months salary saved and reserved for emergencies, but some people can't afford to do that. They don't have that luxury. And by the way, even before this shutdown, the FAA was already down two thousand air traffic controllers. So add to everyone calling out sick, and you've got a disaster on your hands.
00:04:15
Speaker 2: All right, I want to continue on the run here with a disaster we actually did see this week in Louisville death Hole. There has risen from that fiery ups cargo plane crash happened. Yeah, I was yesterday. It was on Tuesday's day and Tuesday went.
00:04:28
Speaker 4: It happened.
00:04:28
Speaker 2: Twelve people now confirmed dead, up to twenty were injured, and several people this morning as of this recording, are still unaccounted.
00:04:36
Speaker 3: For, investigators say.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: And that video that so many people have already looked at, it shows the left engine catching fire as the plane was taking off from Louisville International Airport Tuesday evening, and that engine actually fell off at some point. The black boxes have been recovered, and of course an investigation is ongoing.
00:04:55
Speaker 2: You said those images, They have a picture of it. The engine is sitting on the day in the grassy area on the tarmac. Sad, I'll continuing on the run here now. A federal judge overseeing the criminal case of former FBI director James Comy, while he's not hiding his frustration and annoyance at the Department of Justice. The judge accused the DOJ of taking an indict first, investigate second his words approach to the criminal case against James Combe.
00:05:24
Speaker 1: The judge ordered prosecutors to hand over evidence seize during the investigation by the end of the day today. Comy's attorneys had complained they have not been able to adequately defend their client because they haven't had access to very important information and evidence. Comy attended the hearing, by the way, but he did not speak.
00:05:42
Speaker 2: He has pleaded not guilty to charges of lying to Congress in twenty twenty. He and his lawyers have said this is a vindictive prosecution ordered by President Trump seeking revenge from his political enemies.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run and now we wait on a decision from the Supreme Court. The president calls literally life or death for our country. The court hurt arguments yesterday. It's a case challenging the centerpiece of Trump's second term agenda. We're talking about tariffs is so called Liberation Day tariffs on other countries. It's being challenged by a number of groups, including states and private businesses, who argue the president doesn't have the legal authority to issue tariffs.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: Now, Justices on these six to three conservative leaning court raised concerns about that presidential authority during the legal arguments yesterday, and the legal experts out there not us, will tell you that justices seem poised to potentially deliver a loss for the president when they issue a decision. We don't know though, when that decision is going to be. Oftentimes we hear arguments, we have to wait till the next year to hear a decision, but they are expected to expedite to this decision. And they also brought up this would be chaos because we've collected billions.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: We have to give it back.
00:06:53
Speaker 4: We kind of have to give refunds. Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker 2: I think it was Amy Cony Barratt that was the one that said this isn't absolute mess. She said during the argument, this.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: Would be a mess Yay, all right?
00:07:04
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Those arrests keep piling up in the alleged ISIS inspired Halloween terror attack plot. After two twenty year olds were arrested last week, the FBI has now arrested to nineteen year olds from New Jersey and a third teenager from Michigan, bringing the total number of arrests to five now.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: One of those New Jersey nineteen year olds name is Milo Cerat, charged with transmitting violent anti Semitic interstate threats. Another nineteen year old, Tomas Khan Guzel, was arrested at Newark Airport. He was about to bord a plane to Istanbul on his way to Syria. One of his flight was on time at Newark. Gazelle is charged with conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization.
00:07:47
Speaker 1: And then that third teenager, a nineteen year old Aob Nassaur, was arrested in Dearborn, Michigan, in connection with.
00:07:53
Speaker 3: Yes this alleged terror plot.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: The group reportedly talked about an attack on the LGBTQ plus community in Detroit. The FBI said the grew wanted to mimic the twenty fifteen Paris Isis terror attack that killed one hundred and thirty people.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run on this Friday Eve. Now, a rare and surprising decision yesterday from a parole board considering clemency for an inmate schedule to die by lethal injection a week from today. To have the right successes now, the Oklahoma board voted to grant clemency for Tremaine Wood, effectively saying he should not be executed next week as scheduled.
00:08:30
Speaker 1: The forty six year old was convicted for the two thousand and two stabbing death of a nineteen year old man during a botched robbery, but Wood maintains it was his accomplice, who was actually his brother, who was responsible for the death. Would spoke at his parole hearing yesterday via zoom, taking responsibility for his role in the robbery.
00:08:48
Speaker 3: The board voted three to.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: Two recommending clemency, but the final decision rests with the Oklahoma Governor, Kevin Still. We actually listened to this entire clemency here yesterday. We have a full podcast on it, and if you are interested in the story, which we are because TikTok dot clock is ticking for next Thursday as we await the governor's decision, But in the meantime, if you'd like to get read up or into this story, please check out that episode.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: We talked about how rare this is, so I looked at Oklahoma Death Penalty Information Center that website you will. They do great work, so it's a great place to look clemency. How rare it is We know it's rare since nineteen seventy six, since they brought back the death penalty one hundred Oh yeah, I put it in there. One hundred and twenty seven executions, only five clemencies since nineteen seventy Wow.
00:09:37
Speaker 4: Is that rare?
00:09:37
Speaker 1: Wow?
00:09:38
Speaker 2: So our miles dropped when that decision came, and there was reason for it. This just does not happen. Whant to continue on the run now, and we're all familiar here. We hear a state of emergency declared in this state or that state, we know what that means. They call it a state of calamity in the Philippines. I don't know why. Hearing that hit a little differently, it sounds different. State of calamity. It's essentially the same thing. But they declared that in the Philippines after a powerful typhoon struck that nation. At least one hundred and fourteen people confirmed dead, another one hundred and twenty seven are missing.
00:10:09
Speaker 1: The storm its name is Typhoon Calameaggee.
00:10:13
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for it.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: But that storm hit the Philippines with the strength of a Category four hurricane and it's the deadliest storm of the year for the region. It's now making its way to Vietnam. It's expected to make landfall there late today or tomorrow. And unfortunately, there is another storm that is forming and could once again hit the Philippines next week.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run here now, the president of Mexico is pressing charges against a man who groped her in an incident that was caught on camera and went everywhere. President Shinebaum, the first female president of Mexico, was walking from one meeting to the next through the streets of Mexico City this week when a man put his arm around her, try to kiss her, and rose even put his hand on her chest. Now, for us here in the US to see a president just walking down the street, people were all around she does. This doesn't have a huge security detail. That's not what would go down in the United States. This video is wildly disturbing.
00:11:11
Speaker 1: It's true, and in Mexico of all places. I'm surprised she feels okay doing that, Yes, given the state of things there.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: But I loved what she said.
00:11:21
Speaker 1: Sean Baum says, she is pressing charges on behalf of other women.
00:11:26
Speaker 3: And here's what you said.
00:11:27
Speaker 1: If this happens to the president, where does that leave all the young women in our country. No man has the right to abuse women's personal space. I know I have chills from head to toe hearing that. I love that she gave that specific reason. But yes, there are questions about her security and about whether or not she should be walking down the street and giving people that physical access to her.
00:11:49
Speaker 3: But it's nothing new for her.
00:11:50
Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful that she does it. But you just can't do it. Seems like one of those things you can't do it.
00:11:55
Speaker 1: You can't say you can't on a sad state of where we are in this world.
00:11:59
Speaker 3: But that's just the truth.
00:12:00
Speaker 2: And the video is to see a man. She says she thinks he was drunk, he was drinking, fine, whatever, but he lives his disgusting touches the breast of the president of Mexico.
00:12:12
Speaker 3: No, and I'm so happy she is pressing charges.
00:12:14
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, we'll stay with us folks on this Friday Eve run. When we come back. People love sheen the low budget fashion. Everybody but Paris will explain what happened when the store tried to open there. Also, we know Elon is the richest man in the world. The rich possibly about to get much much richer today. Also, you ain't rich in Florida if you got your hands on some of these fake one hundred dollar bills. Yes, some movie money is showing up in Florida. And would you trust an AI navigator in the passenger seat next to you, not me? All right, we continue on this Thursday, even you all tell me? Is it she or is it she In? Because I just asked Roeboch and she said, well, I think is this or it could be that? So I don't feel great about it.
00:13:07
Speaker 4: But you know, this.
00:13:08
Speaker 2: Online retailer sheen It has opened its first permanent physical store in the world. It's in Paris. It opened yesterday, not going great, already not going great. Within an hour of the store officially opening, the French government initiated legal action against the retailer after authority say it was discovered that childlike sex dolls were available for purchase.
00:13:34
Speaker 4: On the site.
00:13:35
Speaker 1: The popular Chinese online retailer, known for producing inexpensive knockoffs, has long been criticized for its labor practices and environmental impacts, so that, combined with the sex doll controversy, made for an inauspicious grand opening in Paris. In fact, protesters camped out over night so they could be there when the stores opened, alongside a lot of shoppers that were in line for the store to open as well. So that's a fun confluence of folks there.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: I didn't know they've only had pop ups before, But this thing is a can you imagine everybody would be upset any retailer in New York if you say a Shean store is coming, that's competition and you know people are going to flock.
00:14:14
Speaker 4: To that store.
00:14:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are pushing back on this company continuing here on the run. The richest man in the world could get a raise today, and some would argue he might deserve it. We're talking about Elon. But Tesla investors are set to vote today on a pay package that could end up making Elon must the world's first trillionaire, and.
00:14:33
Speaker 1: If they don't approve it, the company worries he might leave. The package would grant Mosque hundreds of additional shares of Tesla stock, and if the company is able to hit certain financial markers over the next ten years, the value of his shares is expected to exceed one trillion dollars.
00:14:49
Speaker 2: That is incredible to think there's something about it as almost disgusting. There are other parts of it thinking, hey, it's a free markets catalut and what we do and what a talent that they think he's worth that and they expect them to get it. Some have already said we're not going to vote for it, but it is expected to go forward. Wow, I continue on the run. Now for the rest of us, check your bills because you might actually be broker than you think if you're in Florida, because some of your money and your pocket might not be real money. We talk about funny money floating around that State authorities in Florida are warning people to take a closer look at any cash you receive because counterfeit movie money is circulating in Florida.
00:15:27
Speaker 1: Specifically, fake bills that are meant for Hollywood movie productions have shown up in parts of Florida, in particular in the Lower Keys and Key West. The bills, which have been seen in hundreds and in twenties, are clearly marked as fake, but if you're just glancing, you might miss it. I mean, really, I've seen the pictures. They do look very similar.
00:15:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bills say though this is not legal tender right there on the front What's more, it also says right there on the front for motion picture purposes. Also, if you miss that, it also says movie money. So how are people being fooled? Well, if you can imagine, folks, it looks exactly like a one hundred dollars bill, and it's just if you look at your one hundred and some of the writing on it. They put the warning saying it's not legal tender in a place in the same font as the writing on an actual one hundred dollars bill. So it just looks like it's naturally there.
00:16:22
Speaker 3: Unless you're reading it, you wouldn't know.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: You'd have to stop and read and pay attention. So they don't know how it got into circulation. But check your money for this.
00:16:30
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, all right, for the final leg of our run. Navigating your next road trip is about to get a little easier and a lot safer, according to Google Maps. The company says it's new AI technology will be like having artificial intelligence sitting right next to you in the passenger seat.
00:16:47
Speaker 2: So this is how it was going to work. They say, You'll just be able to ask Google Maps about your journey. No more fumbling around with the phone while driving, which is dangerous, so it will apparently be like having a conversation with an insightful passenger, that's what they say, who can guy you to your destination and also recommend places to eat, shop or sight see.
00:17:04
Speaker 4: Along the way. I assume it'll tell you where to.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: Get guess, yeah, everything you need to know about your trip. So the AI features will also make the navigation, they say, more precise, calling out landmarks before turns instead of just distance alerts, like instead of seeing in twenty feet and fifty feet and sometimes that's confusing for people who are logistically challenged like myself, so instead it'll say, like, you know, after you know the Starbucks on your left, turn right or whatever. But there will be built in safeguards to prevent maps from sending drivers down the wrong road as well. And by the way, Google Maps is used by more than two billion people around the world. They say that these new AI capabilities will be available in the coming weeks. It gave some examples of things like you can literally be having a conversation with Google Maps while you're driving, so you could ask Google Maps, hey, is this is the example they gave. Is there a budget friendly restaurant with vegan options along my route, something with a couple of something within a couple of miles.
00:18:02
Speaker 4: And I don't want to travel with that person anyway, I.
00:18:04
Speaker 3: Know, I thought, Really that's the example.
00:18:08
Speaker 1: Yes, but you can ask basically Google Maps anything for something around your route and they will send you in the right Drea.
00:18:15
Speaker 4: Don't they tell us?
00:18:16
Speaker 2: Right? You're supposed we see legal briefs that are wrong because people use AI. Kids are turning in papers that are wrong because of AI. So now you want me to one hundred trust AI to get me where I'm going on my journey.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of already do though, trust Google Maps. I mean I just plunk, you know, plug in what I where I need to go, and I just follow it.
00:18:33
Speaker 4: And that's why we end up lost.
00:18:35
Speaker 3: Ah ha haha.
00:18:37
Speaker 1: Here is our quote of the day as we wrap up this Thursday Eve morning run.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: It's our Gandhi week.
00:18:45
Speaker 1: So this one is another one from Gandhi trying to find some more obscure ones, things you might not have heard because we all know the obvious ones. Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
00:18:57
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh god, yeah, nothing, Well, you consider every single day of your life. Nothing really changes. You deal with the same shit. It's just a matter of what your capacity is for dealing with it.
00:19:08
Speaker 4: Today. I should get enough rests. Is this other thing going on? How do you feel?
00:19:12
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:19:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do think people think, just give me some peace, Like, can there just be peace?
00:19:17
Speaker 3: No, you have to make the peace.
00:19:19
Speaker 1: You have to choose the piece, and that's your mental space, in your head. That's where peace exists. It doesn't exist outside of you, it exists within you. And I do appreciate that. So peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it. Gandhi, thank you for giving us so many insightful directions into our life.
00:19:38
Speaker 3: Thank you for running with us. Everyone.
00:19:40
Speaker 4: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We'll see y'll soon.

00:01:10
Speaker 4: Yes?
00:01:11
Speaker 2: I know you felt that pressure before, but that pressure is gonna come off because we have a new AI assistant. Who is they say, robes going to serve and feel like you got somebody sitting in the seat next to you and all you got to say is hey, where do we go?
00:01:26
Speaker 4: And they're gonna answer.

Also on the run this morning, we are waiting on scotis clemency for a death row inmate. The Mexican press presses charges the richest man in the world is up for a raise. Funny money is floating around Florida Paris, high fashion and sheen.
00:02:03
Speaker 4: Apparently don't go together.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: Also terror, rests and a typhoon to tell you about this morning, but robes, we do have to start with what's happening in this.
00:02:11
Speaker 1: Gay that's right first up on the run. Everybody, listen up. This is a major air travel alert that is guaranteed to make the current chaos of shutdown travel even more frustrating. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the administration will start reducing daily flights in the United States by up to ten percent starting tomorrow.
00:02:33
Speaker 2: That is thousands of flights, folks. We have an average forty to forty five thousand flights in this country every single day.
00:02:41
Speaker 4: Ten percent. Do the math.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: So somebody who's flying tomorrow, we don't know who it is, your flight is just going to get canceled.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Lucky us.
00:02:49
Speaker 1: Did you see we already got an email from the airline we're flying, we're actually flying on American airlines already warning us to check christ that they couldn't it wasn't their control, under their control, but just to be aware.
00:03:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that point is a lot of the airlines don't want to know what to do. It's out of their hands, because this plan is supposed to start tomorrow. It's going to reduce flights at forty of the highest volume airports, but they haven't designated which ones are going to be impacted first. We're supposed to get those details today. Now, Sean Duffy, how is he now the most high profile and famous member of the cabinet. It's transportation secretary. He warned previously that they might have to start closing airspace if the shutdown continues, as air traffic controllers continue to call out sick and higher.
00:03:35
Speaker 4: And higher numbers.
00:03:36
Speaker 1: And it's understandable these air traffic controllers are not being paid during the shutdown, and today actually marks the one month anniversary since controllers received their last paychecks, so they're now down two paychecks.
00:03:50
Speaker 4: Correct about that in your life?
00:03:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, but most people sitting and listening, if you go a month and money is not coming into your home, that's just not going to work, right.
00:03:58
Speaker 1: I Mean, they tell you to have a couple months salary saved and reserved for emergencies, but some people can't afford to do that. They don't have that luxury. And by the way, even before this shutdown, the FAA was already down two thousand air traffic controllers. So add to everyone calling out sick, and you've got a disaster on your hands.
00:04:15
Speaker 2: All right, I want to continue on the run here with a disaster we actually did see this week in Louisville death Hole. There has risen from that fiery ups cargo plane crash happened. Yeah, I was yesterday. It was on Tuesday's day and Tuesday went.
00:04:28
Speaker 4: It happened.
00:04:28
Speaker 2: Twelve people now confirmed dead, up to twenty were injured, and several people this morning as of this recording, are still unaccounted.
00:04:36
Speaker 3: For, investigators say.
00:04:37
Speaker 1: And that video that so many people have already looked at, it shows the left engine catching fire as the plane was taking off from Louisville International Airport Tuesday evening, and that engine actually fell off at some point. The black boxes have been recovered, and of course an investigation is ongoing.
00:04:55
Speaker 2: You said those images, They have a picture of it. The engine is sitting on the day in the grassy area on the tarmac. Sad, I'll continuing on the run here now. A federal judge overseeing the criminal case of former FBI director James Comy, while he's not hiding his frustration and annoyance at the Department of Justice. The judge accused the DOJ of taking an indict first, investigate second his words approach to the criminal case against James Combe.
00:05:24
Speaker 1: The judge ordered prosecutors to hand over evidence seize during the investigation by the end of the day today. Comy's attorneys had complained they have not been able to adequately defend their client because they haven't had access to very important information and evidence. Comy attended the hearing, by the way, but he did not speak.
00:05:42
Speaker 2: He has pleaded not guilty to charges of lying to Congress in twenty twenty. He and his lawyers have said this is a vindictive prosecution ordered by President Trump seeking revenge from his political enemies.
00:05:53
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run and now we wait on a decision from the Supreme Court. The president calls literally life or death for our country. The court hurt arguments yesterday. It's a case challenging the centerpiece of Trump's second term agenda. We're talking about tariffs is so called Liberation Day tariffs on other countries. It's being challenged by a number of groups, including states and private businesses, who argue the president doesn't have the legal authority to issue tariffs.
00:06:20
Speaker 2: Now, Justices on these six to three conservative leaning court raised concerns about that presidential authority during the legal arguments yesterday, and the legal experts out there not us, will tell you that justices seem poised to potentially deliver a loss for the president when they issue a decision. We don't know though, when that decision is going to be. Oftentimes we hear arguments, we have to wait till the next year to hear a decision, but they are expected to expedite to this decision. And they also brought up this would be chaos because we've collected billions.
00:06:52
Speaker 3: We have to give it back.
00:06:53
Speaker 4: We kind of have to give refunds. Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker 2: I think it was Amy Cony Barratt that was the one that said this isn't absolute mess. She said during the argument, this.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: Would be a mess Yay, all right?
00:07:04
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Those arrests keep piling up in the alleged ISIS inspired Halloween terror attack plot. After two twenty year olds were arrested last week, the FBI has now arrested to nineteen year olds from New Jersey and a third teenager from Michigan, bringing the total number of arrests to five now.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: One of those New Jersey nineteen year olds name is Milo Cerat, charged with transmitting violent anti Semitic interstate threats. Another nineteen year old, Tomas Khan Guzel, was arrested at Newark Airport. He was about to bord a plane to Istanbul on his way to Syria. One of his flight was on time at Newark. Gazelle is charged with conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization.
00:07:47
Speaker 1: And then that third teenager, a nineteen year old Aob Nassaur, was arrested in Dearborn, Michigan, in connection with.
00:07:53
Speaker 3: Yes this alleged terror plot.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: The group reportedly talked about an attack on the LGBTQ plus community in Detroit. The FBI said the grew wanted to mimic the twenty fifteen Paris Isis terror attack that killed one hundred and thirty people.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run on this Friday Eve. Now, a rare and surprising decision yesterday from a parole board considering clemency for an inmate schedule to die by lethal injection a week from today. To have the right successes now, the Oklahoma board voted to grant clemency for Tremaine Wood, effectively saying he should not be executed next week as scheduled.
00:08:30
Speaker 1: The forty six year old was convicted for the two thousand and two stabbing death of a nineteen year old man during a botched robbery, but Wood maintains it was his accomplice, who was actually his brother, who was responsible for the death. Would spoke at his parole hearing yesterday via zoom, taking responsibility for his role in the robbery.
00:08:48
Speaker 3: The board voted three to.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: Two recommending clemency, but the final decision rests with the Oklahoma Governor, Kevin Still. We actually listened to this entire clemency here yesterday. We have a full podcast on it, and if you are interested in the story, which we are because TikTok dot clock is ticking for next Thursday as we await the governor's decision, But in the meantime, if you'd like to get read up or into this story, please check out that episode.
00:09:15
Speaker 2: We talked about how rare this is, so I looked at Oklahoma Death Penalty Information Center that website you will. They do great work, so it's a great place to look clemency. How rare it is We know it's rare since nineteen seventy six, since they brought back the death penalty one hundred Oh yeah, I put it in there. One hundred and twenty seven executions, only five clemencies since nineteen seventy Wow.
00:09:37
Speaker 4: Is that rare?
00:09:37
Speaker 1: Wow?
00:09:38
Speaker 2: So our miles dropped when that decision came, and there was reason for it. This just does not happen. Whant to continue on the run now, and we're all familiar here. We hear a state of emergency declared in this state or that state, we know what that means. They call it a state of calamity in the Philippines. I don't know why. Hearing that hit a little differently, it sounds different. State of calamity. It's essentially the same thing. But they declared that in the Philippines after a powerful typhoon struck that nation. At least one hundred and fourteen people confirmed dead, another one hundred and twenty seven are missing.
00:10:09
Speaker 1: The storm its name is Typhoon Calameaggee.
00:10:13
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go for it.
00:10:14
Speaker 1: But that storm hit the Philippines with the strength of a Category four hurricane and it's the deadliest storm of the year for the region. It's now making its way to Vietnam. It's expected to make landfall there late today or tomorrow. And unfortunately, there is another storm that is forming and could once again hit the Philippines next week.
00:10:32
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run here now, the president of Mexico is pressing charges against a man who groped her in an incident that was caught on camera and went everywhere. President Shinebaum, the first female president of Mexico, was walking from one meeting to the next through the streets of Mexico City this week when a man put his arm around her, try to kiss her, and rose even put his hand on her chest. Now, for us here in the US to see a president just walking down the street, people were all around she does. This doesn't have a huge security detail. That's not what would go down in the United States. This video is wildly disturbing.
00:11:11
Speaker 1: It's true, and in Mexico of all places. I'm surprised she feels okay doing that, Yes, given the state of things there.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: But I loved what she said.
00:11:21
Speaker 1: Sean Baum says, she is pressing charges on behalf of other women.
00:11:26
Speaker 3: And here's what you said.
00:11:27
Speaker 1: If this happens to the president, where does that leave all the young women in our country. No man has the right to abuse women's personal space. I know I have chills from head to toe hearing that. I love that she gave that specific reason. But yes, there are questions about her security and about whether or not she should be walking down the street and giving people that physical access to her.
00:11:49
Speaker 3: But it's nothing new for her.
00:11:50
Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful that she does it. But you just can't do it. Seems like one of those things you can't do it.
00:11:55
Speaker 1: You can't say you can't on a sad state of where we are in this world.
00:11:59
Speaker 3: But that's just the truth.
00:12:00
Speaker 2: And the video is to see a man. She says she thinks he was drunk, he was drinking, fine, whatever, but he lives his disgusting touches the breast of the president of Mexico.
00:12:12
Speaker 3: No, and I'm so happy she is pressing charges.
00:12:14
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, we'll stay with us folks on this Friday Eve run. When we come back. People love sheen the low budget fashion. Everybody but Paris will explain what happened when the store tried to open there. Also, we know Elon is the richest man in the world. The rich possibly about to get much much richer today. Also, you ain't rich in Florida if you got your hands on some of these fake one hundred dollar bills. Yes, some movie money is showing up in Florida. And would you trust an AI navigator in the passenger seat next to you, not me? All right, we continue on this Thursday, even you all tell me? Is it she or is it she In? Because I just asked Roeboch and she said, well, I think is this or it could be that? So I don't feel great about it.
00:13:07
Speaker 4: But you know, this.
00:13:08
Speaker 2: Online retailer sheen It has opened its first permanent physical store in the world. It's in Paris. It opened yesterday, not going great, already not going great. Within an hour of the store officially opening, the French government initiated legal action against the retailer after authority say it was discovered that childlike sex dolls were available for purchase.
00:13:34
Speaker 4: On the site.
00:13:35
Speaker 1: The popular Chinese online retailer, known for producing inexpensive knockoffs, has long been criticized for its labor practices and environmental impacts, so that, combined with the sex doll controversy, made for an inauspicious grand opening in Paris. In fact, protesters camped out over night so they could be there when the stores opened, alongside a lot of shoppers that were in line for the store to open as well. So that's a fun confluence of folks there.
00:14:03
Speaker 2: I didn't know they've only had pop ups before, But this thing is a can you imagine everybody would be upset any retailer in New York if you say a Shean store is coming, that's competition and you know people are going to flock.
00:14:14
Speaker 4: To that store.
00:14:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are pushing back on this company continuing here on the run. The richest man in the world could get a raise today, and some would argue he might deserve it. We're talking about Elon. But Tesla investors are set to vote today on a pay package that could end up making Elon must the world's first trillionaire, and.
00:14:33
Speaker 1: If they don't approve it, the company worries he might leave. The package would grant Mosque hundreds of additional shares of Tesla stock, and if the company is able to hit certain financial markers over the next ten years, the value of his shares is expected to exceed one trillion dollars.
00:14:49
Speaker 2: That is incredible to think there's something about it as almost disgusting. There are other parts of it thinking, hey, it's a free markets catalut and what we do and what a talent that they think he's worth that and they expect them to get it. Some have already said we're not going to vote for it, but it is expected to go forward. Wow, I continue on the run. Now for the rest of us, check your bills because you might actually be broker than you think if you're in Florida, because some of your money and your pocket might not be real money. We talk about funny money floating around that State authorities in Florida are warning people to take a closer look at any cash you receive because counterfeit movie money is circulating in Florida.
00:15:27
Speaker 1: Specifically, fake bills that are meant for Hollywood movie productions have shown up in parts of Florida, in particular in the Lower Keys and Key West. The bills, which have been seen in hundreds and in twenties, are clearly marked as fake, but if you're just glancing, you might miss it. I mean, really, I've seen the pictures. They do look very similar.
00:15:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bills say though this is not legal tender right there on the front What's more, it also says right there on the front for motion picture purposes. Also, if you miss that, it also says movie money. So how are people being fooled? Well, if you can imagine, folks, it looks exactly like a one hundred dollars bill, and it's just if you look at your one hundred and some of the writing on it. They put the warning saying it's not legal tender in a place in the same font as the writing on an actual one hundred dollars bill. So it just looks like it's naturally there.
00:16:22
Speaker 3: Unless you're reading it, you wouldn't know.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: You'd have to stop and read and pay attention. So they don't know how it got into circulation. But check your money for this.
00:16:30
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, all right, for the final leg of our run. Navigating your next road trip is about to get a little easier and a lot safer, according to Google Maps. The company says it's new AI technology will be like having artificial intelligence sitting right next to you in the passenger seat.
00:16:47
Speaker 2: So this is how it was going to work. They say, You'll just be able to ask Google Maps about your journey. No more fumbling around with the phone while driving, which is dangerous, so it will apparently be like having a conversation with an insightful passenger, that's what they say, who can guy you to your destination and also recommend places to eat, shop or sight see.
00:17:04
Speaker 4: Along the way. I assume it'll tell you where to.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: Get guess, yeah, everything you need to know about your trip. So the AI features will also make the navigation, they say, more precise, calling out landmarks before turns instead of just distance alerts, like instead of seeing in twenty feet and fifty feet and sometimes that's confusing for people who are logistically challenged like myself, so instead it'll say, like, you know, after you know the Starbucks on your left, turn right or whatever. But there will be built in safeguards to prevent maps from sending drivers down the wrong road as well. And by the way, Google Maps is used by more than two billion people around the world. They say that these new AI capabilities will be available in the coming weeks. It gave some examples of things like you can literally be having a conversation with Google Maps while you're driving, so you could ask Google Maps, hey, is this is the example they gave. Is there a budget friendly restaurant with vegan options along my route, something with a couple of something within a couple of miles.
00:18:02
Speaker 4: And I don't want to travel with that person anyway, I.
00:18:04
Speaker 3: Know, I thought, Really that's the example.
00:18:08
Speaker 1: Yes, but you can ask basically Google Maps anything for something around your route and they will send you in the right Drea.
00:18:15
Speaker 4: Don't they tell us?
00:18:16
Speaker 2: Right? You're supposed we see legal briefs that are wrong because people use AI. Kids are turning in papers that are wrong because of AI. So now you want me to one hundred trust AI to get me where I'm going on my journey.
00:18:26
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of already do though, trust Google Maps. I mean I just plunk, you know, plug in what I where I need to go, and I just follow it.
00:18:33
Speaker 4: And that's why we end up lost.
00:18:35
Speaker 3: Ah ha haha.
00:18:37
Speaker 1: Here is our quote of the day as we wrap up this Thursday Eve morning run.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: It's our Gandhi week.
00:18:45
Speaker 1: So this one is another one from Gandhi trying to find some more obscure ones, things you might not have heard because we all know the obvious ones. Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.
00:18:57
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh god, yeah, nothing, Well, you consider every single day of your life. Nothing really changes. You deal with the same shit. It's just a matter of what your capacity is for dealing with it.
00:19:08
Speaker 4: Today. I should get enough rests. Is this other thing going on? How do you feel?
00:19:12
Speaker 2: Oh?
00:19:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do think people think, just give me some peace, Like, can there just be peace?
00:19:17
Speaker 3: No, you have to make the peace.
00:19:19
Speaker 1: You have to choose the piece, and that's your mental space, in your head. That's where peace exists. It doesn't exist outside of you, it exists within you. And I do appreciate that. So peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it. Gandhi, thank you for giving us so many insightful directions into our life.
00:19:38
Speaker 3: Thank you for running with us. Everyone.
00:19:40
Speaker 4: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. We'll see y'll soon.
