Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. Today is a Monday, and it's November third.
00:00:15
Speaker 2: That's the way to start, y'all. Could tell then it's Amy Robog over there. What's clueless about what day it is? But don't worry, you're going to get the rest of the facts correct in this Morning Run. I'm TJ Holmes. Why don't you tell people what was your Aura ring score last night? You actually got good sleep?
00:00:28
Speaker 3: I did. It was an eighty one and.
00:00:30
Speaker 4: I'm sitting on a seventy three.
00:00:32
Speaker 3: That was so good for you.
00:00:33
Speaker 2: Huge, that's six plus hours of sleep. We tell you that, folks, to let you know this is going to be a high powered, high energy Morning Run on this Monday.
00:00:43
Speaker 3: We still shut down though, Yeah we're still shut down.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: But the shutdown, we're told now the air travel is going to get worse. Yes, you need to hear what's happening there. Also, I didn't even know mister PIBB was gone. I didn't either, okay, but just coming back. That's so exciting. Okay, a big deal. Mister PIBB is coming back. It's been gone for almost twenty five years. I didn't know that, but not everybody's gonna have access to it. We will explain that as well. How are you feeling the They say the weather the day like saving messes people up, even though we got an extra hour. They say, people are a little long.
00:01:18
Speaker 1: It messes me up in all the right ways, though I feel like I have extra time, so it actually feels indulgent and fun. In the spring, I'm like chasing, I can't catch up, like it's just it's the worst feeling.
00:01:29
Speaker 2: I love when we lose an hour because that means I'm getting ahead of everybody else.
00:01:34
Speaker 3: That's hilarious.
00:01:35
Speaker 2: More But no, I hope you're feeling all right after day like saving time and romes. I didn't know we had that many more late night comedians for the president to go after. But folks, he's gone after another one with a okay, usually a Trump truth social post. Yes it's just a poet, but these things have ended up with results.
00:01:54
Speaker 3: Correct.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: He has ordered things to happen, wished for things to happen, and then they happen.
00:02:00
Speaker 2: So we have to pay attention to this one. Now, we'll tell you what late night comic he's going after now and it's always folks. Top right screen, top right of your screen on that phone. At the Apple podcast app, little button says follow just click that you can get our updates coming to you, don't have to go looking for them. Also, we're going to get into on this morning's run, Trump did ninety minutes with sixty minutes yesterday. Also, a guy named Little kicked the longest phil go in NFL history yesterday. Also this weekend, the box office just simply sucked. Also, a huge parade and party in downtown LA today. It was a record setting day of the marathon yesterday. And this is a strange story. Did the FBI actually foil an actual terror plot?
00:02:42
Speaker 4: And Rome?
00:02:42
Speaker 2: A lot of this story has to do with the messenger that we had. We'll get into explaining why some people are scratching their heads about the FBI saying that they had warned us about a terror plot.
00:02:53
Speaker 1: Yes, and we will get into all of that, But first we begin our run on this Monday morning with a painful record. Now within our grasp. We are just days away from this being the longest government shutdown in US history. The record is thirty five days, and that happened during Trump's first term.
00:03:12
Speaker 2: So thirty five days is the record. Today is day thirty four of this shutdown, and still there are no clear or at this point hopeful signs that this thing is going to end anytime soon. The Senate does come back to work today, but Republicans have resisted President Trump's nuclear option of doing away with the filibusters. So, starting a new week, we are a month plus into this thing. So what is the plan? Keep doing the same damn thing they've been doing. That's the only plan they have right now is to have Republicans keep bringing up the same bill that Democrats have voted against thirteen times to reopen the government. No significant negotiations, the two sides, two leaders aren't sitting down and talking, so we don't know where we are.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: Woo all right, Well, next up on the Run. President Trump went on sixty Minutes last night and had a lot to say, Hey, but there were some really awkward moments. This was his first appearance on the show since he sued CBS over its editing of a Kamala Harris interview, and the company eventually settled that lawsuit, if you remember, by paying Trump sixteen million dollars.
00:04:16
Speaker 2: Just weird isn't it to see him on sixty minutes yesterday? At one point, the President did make reference to his recent history with CBS, saying to interviewer Nora O'donnald, quote, actually, sixty minutes paid me a lot of money. You don't have to put this on because I don't want to embarrass you. And quote he's making a reference. He knew the interview was going to get edited and cut down, and he's that's a producer for you. He said, you might leave this out. I'm gonna say it anyway. Your option to edit this in or not. The interview went ninety minutes. Of course, they couldn't put the whole thing on TV yesterday, so they put most of it online. They did put the entire transcript online. A couple of the highlights that have been getting word. He was asked about the the ice raids, asked if do you think they're going to and.
00:05:00
Speaker 1: He said they haven't gone far enough. Yes, he did, and he sounds like Trump.
00:05:04
Speaker 2: And he also explained, Hey, what's your plan for the shutdown? Blame democrats? That was it to hear the president say there is no strata, I'm doing nothing.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: He said the strategy is to keep voting to end the shutdown, so somebody's gonna have to.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: He kept saying, we just need five, We just need five Democrats, all right. Next up on the run, the Trump administration has until noon today to tell a federal judge its planned to comply with his order. On Friday, that same judge ordered the administration to make a full snap payment of course, that is the agency that is also known as food stamps by the end of the day today, or the Trump administration has to make a partial payment by Wednesday.
00:05:43
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:05:43
Speaker 2: A couple of problems with this, So oh, make a full payment, the White House would have to draw on additional funding sources beyond what's in the contingency reserves. There's not enough money in there to cover everything. The administration has argued that the contingency funds are not supposed to be used to cover regular benefits. They're there for situations like natural disasters, emergencies. And the judge was the one essentially said, hey, this is emergency, isn't I.
00:06:07
Speaker 1: Yes, but the democra I mean, the Republicans say it's a self imposed or at least a democratic imposed emergency.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: So a snap didn't run out of funding over the weekend. As this government shut down, as we mentioned, continues.
00:06:19
Speaker 1: And as the shutdown continues, the lines for food physically grew longer at food banks over the weekend. Stadium parking lots had to be used. In Texas and California. They actually converted these parking lots into distribution sites for families to pick up basic grocery items.
00:06:37
Speaker 3: That's really sad, all right.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, things are gonna get worse. This is hard to imagine. For air travel. That is the word from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who said yesterday they are seeing increased call outs for air traffic controllers.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: Again, air traffic controllers who are in control of making sure that these planes are where they need to be win and are not running into each other. You know, those people who are in charge of our safety when we're in a plane. They are categorized as essential workers. They're required to continue to work and without paychecks during a shutdown. Duffy said they are not going to hesitate the FAA. He said, look, we understand the pain, but we will not hesitate to cancel or delay a flight in the name of safety. And it seems robes that's what they're doing. This is almost unimaginable. This statistic from the FA on Friday, they said eighty percent of the air traffic controllers who are supposed to be working in the New York area were absent from their jobs on Friday.
00:07:33
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean it was Halloween.
00:07:35
Speaker 1: So people probably thought, you know what, enough of this working without getting a paycheck. I'm calling in sick to go hang with my kids.
00:07:41
Speaker 2: That makes sense, doesn't it. Well, Newark had ground stops over the weekend. Four hour delays were the norma from Newark. And then half of the thirty busiest airports in the country had staff shortages this weekend. Thirty of the busiest. And so that means even if you weren't flying into or out of one of the busiest, it's still has what they call widespread impact on the entire.
00:08:03
Speaker 1: Who can't wait to travel on Friday, Babe White Airport, We're traveling out of.
00:08:08
Speaker 3: Newark on Friday.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll have a podcast already written for us in that sense, based on just what our experience is.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: All right?
00:08:16
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, President Trump spent a lot of time on truth social over the weekend calling out yet another late night host.
00:08:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, he called this one a truly deranged lunatic. Congratulations, Seth Myers. He's the one who is now drawing the ire of the President. What seemed to upset the president most was Myers was mocking the president's comments that he made while he was addressing troops in Japan about bringing back steam powered catapults on aircraft carriers.
00:08:45
Speaker 4: Okay, please explain it.
00:08:46
Speaker 1: All right, So here's what Trump's post said, targeting Seth Myers was going to read it for batim.
00:08:51
Speaker 3: These are his words.
00:08:53
Speaker 1: Seth Myers of NBC may be the least talented person to perform live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the worst to perform live or otherwise. I watched to show the other night for the first time in years. In it, he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers, which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on, he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this, no talent, no ratings, one hundred percent anti Trump, which is probably illegal.
00:09:28
Speaker 2: Which means I should probably have the license take away. Now, mocking Trump is probably illegal, That's what he said. So in the same segment, Meyers actually predicted what the President's reaction was going to be, saying, quote, Trump thinks that if you say something mean about him, that's treason. He said that before Trump, look, he used him essentially of doing something illegal.
00:09:48
Speaker 1: Kind of wild, huh, called it all right. Next up on the Run, did the FBI actually thwart a terror attack?
00:09:54
Speaker 3: On Friday?
00:09:54
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Pattel announced on x his agency prevented a quote potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over the holiday weekend end quote And.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: There hasn't been anything after that. There has been nothing, no update about it. But according to a Michigan defense lawyer, the plot never existed. Now, the attorney represents one of the young men arrested said that from what he has seen, he doesn't believe a terror plot was ever planned, and he doesn't believe any actual charges are going to be filed against his client or the other four suspects.
00:10:29
Speaker 4: He said.
00:10:29
Speaker 2: The group arrested were all young men, all us citizens, and they were.
00:10:33
Speaker 4: Gamers between the ages of sixteen and twenty.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: That's right, And he added this, if these young men were on forms that they should not have been on, or things of that nature, then we'll have to wait and see. But I don't believe that there's anything illegal about any of the activity they were doing. Patel said more information would be coming regarding the case, but so far the FBI and Michigan authorities have not elaborated, only initially alleging that the plan was inspired by Islamic state group extremism.
00:11:01
Speaker 2: This is relevant because he's had egg on his face very recently, Charlie Kirk killing right. He put out, we got somebody in custody, and he has been accused that this is not me. I'm repeating. You can find it anywhere that he's jumping the gun to try to take credit correct either personally or for the FBI. But he's trying to take credit this for folks on the ground, the law men doing the work.
00:11:25
Speaker 4: They're pissed. Yeah, you're screwing with our investigation. One.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: We're not ready to go, or you might impact future arrests. We might make you get it out there. They'll say this is transparency.
00:11:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you get it out there, but then you don't follow up with information, and what happens is then there's a vacuum and someone else fills it aka the defense attorney for one of the men. So we shall see if we hear more about that today.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: All right, Continuing on the run here on this Monday morning, Hamas handed over the remains of three more hostages yesterday, including those of American Omer Neutra. Now he is a Long Island native, and there's an American Israeli who was killed in the initial Hamas attack on October seventh, twenty twenty three, that set off the conflict.
00:12:04
Speaker 1: The other two bodies returned yesterday were those of Israeli soldiers. There are now eight hostages still yet to be returned by Hamas. But the good news is the ceasefire is holding all right.
00:12:14
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run now, and at least eleven people were injured in a mass stabbing attack on a London bound train over the weekend. At least one person remains in life threatening condition this morning.
00:12:24
Speaker 1: Two men were initially arrested, but only one remains in custody this morning. A thirty two year old man who police say is a British citizen. There was a second man that was released. He apparently was not involved in the attack. And police don't have a motive yet for what happened, but they say it is not terror related.
00:12:42
Speaker 2: Our folks stay with us on this Monday Morning run when we come back. Some folks were really running yesterday at the New York City Marathon, and we have two major records to report. Also, LA's gonna be a big party there. Also coming up, the longest field goal ever kicked and the NFL was kicked yesterday. The guy's last name is Little. Also, the box office struggled this weekend, and folks, Dr Pepper, its main competitor, is back. Mister Pip is coming through us store near you. Maybe all right, folks, We continue on this Monday Morning run with a much longer run of twenty six point two miles.
00:13:30
Speaker 4: If you saw our.
00:13:31
Speaker 2: Episode yesterday, Robot and I had some series marathon fomo because we.
00:13:35
Speaker 4: Were for a couple of reasons we explained in the.
00:13:38
Speaker 2: Episode, did not run the New York City Marathon yesterday for the first time in four years. Yes, oh yeah, okay, but it was quite a day. A couple of records. Set a record set for the fastest woman to ever race and a record for the closest finish on the men's side.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: And I probably should have asked you for pronouncers, but is it.
00:13:57
Speaker 1: Helen o'bie of Kenya broke the woman's record. Her time was two nineteen fifty one. That's like my half marathon time. But anyway, she beat her previous record by two and a half minutes. And she also won the race in twenty twenty three as well, so she yes is a veteran. On the men's side, Benson Kibruto of Kenya won by.
00:14:19
Speaker 3: Three one hundreds of a second.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: Wow, winners get one hundred thousand. You get an extra fifty thousand for setting a record.
00:14:26
Speaker 4: That was a good day for her. She made one hundred three degree amazing in two hours yesterday.
00:14:30
Speaker 3: That's fantastic.
00:14:30
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of training that went involved. Y. Yes, yes, I thought that was impressive. I'll continue on the run now. I know La likes to party, but it's gonna be a different kind of party today in La, one like we haven't seen since last year because they won the World Series last year as well and had.
00:14:46
Speaker 4: A big party.
00:14:46
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have their victory parade today through downtown and they will have the victory rally at Dodger Stadium right after.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers are the first back to back World Series champions in twenty five years. After pulling off eight, I have to say it was a pretty thrilling an improbable win against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game seven.
00:15:03
Speaker 3: It happened on Saturday night. I woke up just in time to see the ending.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: It went eleven innings, so there was plenty of time to stay up. But you had the look of shock on the Toronto Blue Jays players' faces when that homer.
00:15:17
Speaker 2: But they had it in the back. It was saving waiting thirty two years and it was almost wrap.
00:15:21
Speaker 4: That's tough.
00:15:22
Speaker 1: It was, God, what a great And then we saw those Dodgers fans walking around New York City yesterday and you rolled your eyes.
00:15:28
Speaker 4: A little much.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: You're like, you're in New York, remember where you were?
00:15:32
Speaker 4: They were fully dacked a toe.
00:15:34
Speaker 3: They were celebrating and rubbing in all of our faces.
00:15:36
Speaker 4: Blue socks for guys say, it was too much? All right?
00:15:39
Speaker 2: Next on the run here, a new NFL record was set yesterday for the longest field goal in NFL history, and I am especially proud because it was set by a former razorback that we love. His name is Cam Little, but he booted a sixty eight yard or yesterday at the end of the first half where they were playing against the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: The previous record was sixty six yards, held by Justin Tucker in twenty twenty one. Cam hit the field goal with some room to spare, but I knew this sounded familiar. This is not his longest field goal this year. Remember we talked about this. He hit a seventy yard or earlier in the year that didn't count because it was during a preseason game.
00:16:16
Speaker 3: So it's cool to see him get that record. Anyway, Oh this.
00:16:19
Speaker 4: Is and I love, love, love love this kid. He's a good dude. But it's good to see that happen.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: His strategy ropes, he said, when you go out there, he tells himself, kick it as hard as you can't.
00:16:28
Speaker 3: I was gonna guess that's what he was gonna tell himself.
00:16:30
Speaker 4: You only have to do kick it hard and kick it straight, and you'll make your feel goal. Yeah. Good stuff.
00:16:35
Speaker 2: Next up on the run here for what a terrible weekend at the box office. Actually, it was the worst weekend of the year. Robes at the box office. One of the few that we haven't we haven't gone to a movie.
00:16:44
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny, I have suggested a couple of movies. We were kind of like, uh, okay, we haven't gotten excited enough.
00:16:50
Speaker 4: And that is the point. So Regretting You was number one at the Colleen.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: Hoover yep, but it only had eight point one million dollars.
00:17:00
Speaker 4: I got to win the box office over the weekend.
00:17:02
Speaker 3: And right in second place was Black Phone two.
00:17:05
Speaker 1: We saw that how many weeks ago, like three weeks ago, that was neck and neck with Regretting You at eight million. The box office total for the weekend forty nine million. That is the lowest box office total for all of twenty twenty five. And for the month of October, movies made four hundred and twenty five million. That's the worst box office since nineteen ninety seven.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what happened this weekend? And it makes sense right. First of all, they didn't have a lot of movies that were in wide release, so it wasn't a lot of new stuff. Halloween it was on Friday. Yeah, families, everybody doing something else. Then the best World Series game ever happened on Saturday night, so people occupied once again. The other thing wrong they didn't stack the Halloween calendar with scary movies.
00:17:48
Speaker 1: That was surprising to me that I kept looking and googling yep, horror, new horror movies out in theaters now. I did that actually every week this month because I thought, oh, we'll have some fun movies to go see.
00:18:00
Speaker 3: There weren't any thinking about it.
00:18:02
Speaker 2: Hard Eyes, Weapons, Sinners. A lot of horror movies did, even Final Destination, but they released them. Maybe they don't want to give people too many options at Halloween. Then maybe your movie won't be the hit. I don't know, but I.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Guess Black Phone was the only one Black Phone too that came like they're really you'd think that they would have.
00:18:19
Speaker 3: I don't know, like.
00:18:21
Speaker 4: Maybe it's too many.
00:18:22
Speaker 2: But this has been a huge This is my maybe a record setting year for horror movies and Conjuring. Oh my god, I forgot about Conduring. It's great A terrible Halloween. And then you had big movies like tron Ares and Smashing Machine that got a lot of attention and costs a lot of money to make, but did not do.
00:18:35
Speaker 4: Well with them.
00:18:36
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't even know what you're talking about.
00:18:37
Speaker 4: Masking Machine was a Dwayne Rock Johnson that he's.
00:18:40
Speaker 1: Getting right, That got it? Just yeah, it didn't do well in the box office.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: All right.
00:18:44
Speaker 1: Well, for the final leg of our run, everyone, mister PIB is back. Coca Cola announced it's bringing back the fan favorite. The company says it will have a new look, extra caffeine and a bold cherry flavor.
00:18:58
Speaker 4: That's what we need. Extra cap how much more? They say?
00:19:01
Speaker 2: Thirty percent more and quote with a bold spicy cherry flavor with hints of caramel.
00:19:07
Speaker 1: That sounds right up my alley. I love mister Pepper. I used to love mister PIB. I used to love doctor Pepper. So it's I didn't Honestly, I didn't know mister PIB was gone because I don't drink sugary drinks anymore.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: But I guess I stopped twenty five years ago, or so.
00:19:22
Speaker 2: It launched in nineteen seventy two. It was renamed PIB Extra in two thousand and one. I have never heard, never heard that, Okay, so it's only going to be available in some regions. I'll just leave it there. There are reasons for Coca Cola.
00:19:36
Speaker 3: Doing Can we get it in New York right now?
00:19:38
Speaker 4: Not sure?
00:19:39
Speaker 2: Probably Atlanta only available in some regions because of a lawsuit. Doctor Pepper now has the right to distribute its own product in some areas, which means Coca Cola won't be able to handle the distribution of Doctor Pepper.
00:19:54
Speaker 4: So Doctor Pepper might disappear.
00:19:56
Speaker 2: In some places, meaning Coke is taking advantage of that by now putting mister Pib back in some of those places.
00:20:02
Speaker 4: Super confused, so what it is? This is a money move.
00:20:05
Speaker 1: This is not the way popular are Doctor Pepper and mister Pib both thereby.
00:20:10
Speaker 2: Two different companies. Cola makes mister Pib different, Doctor Pepper does Dr Pepper, but Coca Cola has a distribution arm in which they handle some Doctor Dr Pepper and send the bottles. Certain places got it, but now Doctor Pepper is now in control of its own distribution, so Coca Cola is not doing it. There's a vacuum in some of these areas. They bringing back mister Pipp. This is all money. I'm sorry we should have led with that. I know you're excited about, mister pipp but they're not doing this out of the goodness of their own hearts an opportunity, so all.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: Right, all right, Well I hope there's a diet mister pib someday soon. All right, here's your quote of the day everyone. This comes from Gandhi. I thought we could all use a little piece. But I loved this.
00:20:51
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a Gandhi week.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: Let's do a Gandhi week. Let's do a Gandhi week.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: Because I actually was trying to pick which quote I hadn't heard.
00:20:57
Speaker 3: As much of that I loved. I love this one.
00:21:00
Speaker 1: Nobody can hurt me without my permission, I get it.
00:21:08
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking about all the ways somebody can hurt you. I know, I know, I know. But you give people license. We talk about this all the time. You said this to your daughters a lot. Why are you giving somebody that agency? Why are you giving them?
00:21:21
Speaker 3: Why are you giving away your power.
00:21:22
Speaker 4: Power to hurt you? Say?
00:21:25
Speaker 1: I liked it just because there's so many words and finger pointing and things flying around that feel like incoming. But it is a reminder that we can preserve our own peace regardless of what people say or do that we can choose to not let it affect us in a negative way. So I just love this. Nobody can hurt me without my permission. Thank you Gandhi and yes we'll have a Gandhi week. We need a little piece in our lives. And with that, everyone, thanks for running with us on this Monday. I'm Adey Robot and I'm TJ.
00:21:56
Speaker 4: Holmes. Can Y'll tell the difference. We got sleep.
00:21:58
Speaker 2: You're gonna go for this every day, good energy, good sleep, start the week off well, hope you'll have a good Monday.
00:22:04
Speaker 4: We'll run with you outso
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. Today is a Monday, and it's November third.
00:00:15

But don't worry, you're going to get the rest of the facts correct in this Morning Run. I'm TJ Holmes. Why don't you tell people what was your Aura ring score last night? You actually got good sleep?
00:00:28
Speaker 3: I did. It was an eighty one and.
00:00:30
Speaker 4: I'm sitting on a seventy three.
00:00:32
Speaker 3: That was so good for you.
00:00:33
Speaker 2: Huge, that's six plus hours of sleep. We tell you that, folks, to let you know this is going to be a high powered, high energy Morning Run on this Monday.
00:00:43
Speaker 3: We still shut down though, Yeah we're still shut down.
00:00:46
Speaker 2: But the shutdown, we're told now the air travel is going to get worse. Yes, you need to hear what's happening there. Also, I didn't even know mister PIBB was gone. I didn't either, okay, but just coming back. That's so exciting. Okay, a big deal. Mister PIBB is coming back. It's been gone for almost twenty five years. I didn't know that, but not everybody's gonna have access to it. We will explain that as well. How are you feeling the They say the weather the day like saving messes people up, even though we got an extra hour. They say, people are a little long.
00:01:18
Speaker 1: It messes me up in all the right ways, though I feel like I have extra time, so it actually feels indulgent and fun. In the spring, I'm like chasing, I can't catch up, like it's just it's the worst feeling.
00:01:29
Speaker 2: I love when we lose an hour because that means I'm getting ahead of everybody else.
00:01:34
Speaker 3: That's hilarious.
00:01:35
Speaker 2: More But no, I hope you're feeling all right after day like saving time and romes. I didn't know we had that many more late night comedians for the president to go after. But folks, he's gone after another one with a okay, usually a Trump truth social post. Yes it's just a poet, but these things have ended up with results.
00:01:54
Speaker 3: Correct.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: He has ordered things to happen, wished for things to happen, and then they happen.
00:02:00
Speaker 2: So we have to pay attention to this one. Now, we'll tell you what late night comic he's going after now and it's always folks. Top right screen, top right of your screen on that phone. At the Apple podcast app, little button says follow just click that you can get our updates coming to you, don't have to go looking for them. Also, we're going to get into on this morning's run, Trump did ninety minutes with sixty minutes yesterday. Also, a guy named Little kicked the longest phil go in NFL history yesterday. Also this weekend, the box office just simply sucked. Also, a huge parade and party in downtown LA today. It was a record setting day of the marathon yesterday. And this is a strange story. Did the FBI actually foil an actual terror plot?
00:02:42
Speaker 4: And Rome?
00:02:42
Speaker 2: A lot of this story has to do with the messenger that we had. We'll get into explaining why some people are scratching their heads about the FBI saying that they had warned us about a terror plot.
00:02:53
Speaker 1: Yes, and we will get into all of that, But first we begin our run on this Monday morning with a painful record. Now within our grasp. We are just days away from this being the longest government shutdown in US history. The record is thirty five days, and that happened during Trump's first term.
00:03:12
Speaker 2: So thirty five days is the record. Today is day thirty four of this shutdown, and still there are no clear or at this point hopeful signs that this thing is going to end anytime soon. The Senate does come back to work today, but Republicans have resisted President Trump's nuclear option of doing away with the filibusters. So, starting a new week, we are a month plus into this thing. So what is the plan? Keep doing the same damn thing they've been doing. That's the only plan they have right now is to have Republicans keep bringing up the same bill that Democrats have voted against thirteen times to reopen the government. No significant negotiations, the two sides, two leaders aren't sitting down and talking, so we don't know where we are.
00:03:54
Speaker 1: Woo all right, Well, next up on the Run. President Trump went on sixty Minutes last night and had a lot to say, Hey, but there were some really awkward moments. This was his first appearance on the show since he sued CBS over its editing of a Kamala Harris interview, and the company eventually settled that lawsuit, if you remember, by paying Trump sixteen million dollars.
00:04:16
Speaker 2: Just weird isn't it to see him on sixty minutes yesterday? At one point, the President did make reference to his recent history with CBS, saying to interviewer Nora O'donnald, quote, actually, sixty minutes paid me a lot of money. You don't have to put this on because I don't want to embarrass you. And quote he's making a reference. He knew the interview was going to get edited and cut down, and he's that's a producer for you. He said, you might leave this out. I'm gonna say it anyway. Your option to edit this in or not. The interview went ninety minutes. Of course, they couldn't put the whole thing on TV yesterday, so they put most of it online. They did put the entire transcript online. A couple of the highlights that have been getting word. He was asked about the the ice raids, asked if do you think they're going to and.
00:05:00
Speaker 1: He said they haven't gone far enough. Yes, he did, and he sounds like Trump.
00:05:04
Speaker 2: And he also explained, Hey, what's your plan for the shutdown? Blame democrats? That was it to hear the president say there is no strata, I'm doing nothing.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: He said the strategy is to keep voting to end the shutdown, so somebody's gonna have to.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: He kept saying, we just need five, We just need five Democrats, all right. Next up on the run, the Trump administration has until noon today to tell a federal judge its planned to comply with his order. On Friday, that same judge ordered the administration to make a full snap payment of course, that is the agency that is also known as food stamps by the end of the day today, or the Trump administration has to make a partial payment by Wednesday.
00:05:43
Speaker 4: Okay.
00:05:43
Speaker 2: A couple of problems with this, So oh, make a full payment, the White House would have to draw on additional funding sources beyond what's in the contingency reserves. There's not enough money in there to cover everything. The administration has argued that the contingency funds are not supposed to be used to cover regular benefits. They're there for situations like natural disasters, emergencies. And the judge was the one essentially said, hey, this is emergency, isn't I.
00:06:07
Speaker 1: Yes, but the democra I mean, the Republicans say it's a self imposed or at least a democratic imposed emergency.
00:06:13
Speaker 2: So a snap didn't run out of funding over the weekend. As this government shut down, as we mentioned, continues.
00:06:19
Speaker 1: And as the shutdown continues, the lines for food physically grew longer at food banks over the weekend. Stadium parking lots had to be used. In Texas and California. They actually converted these parking lots into distribution sites for families to pick up basic grocery items.
00:06:37
Speaker 3: That's really sad, all right.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, things are gonna get worse. This is hard to imagine. For air travel. That is the word from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who said yesterday they are seeing increased call outs for air traffic controllers.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: Again, air traffic controllers who are in control of making sure that these planes are where they need to be win and are not running into each other. You know, those people who are in charge of our safety when we're in a plane. They are categorized as essential workers. They're required to continue to work and without paychecks during a shutdown. Duffy said they are not going to hesitate the FAA. He said, look, we understand the pain, but we will not hesitate to cancel or delay a flight in the name of safety. And it seems robes that's what they're doing. This is almost unimaginable. This statistic from the FA on Friday, they said eighty percent of the air traffic controllers who are supposed to be working in the New York area were absent from their jobs on Friday.
00:07:33
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean it was Halloween.
00:07:35
Speaker 1: So people probably thought, you know what, enough of this working without getting a paycheck. I'm calling in sick to go hang with my kids.
00:07:41
Speaker 2: That makes sense, doesn't it. Well, Newark had ground stops over the weekend. Four hour delays were the norma from Newark. And then half of the thirty busiest airports in the country had staff shortages this weekend. Thirty of the busiest. And so that means even if you weren't flying into or out of one of the busiest, it's still has what they call widespread impact on the entire.
00:08:03
Speaker 1: Who can't wait to travel on Friday, Babe White Airport, We're traveling out of.
00:08:08
Speaker 3: Newark on Friday.
00:08:10
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll have a podcast already written for us in that sense, based on just what our experience is.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: All right?
00:08:16
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, President Trump spent a lot of time on truth social over the weekend calling out yet another late night host.
00:08:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, he called this one a truly deranged lunatic. Congratulations, Seth Myers. He's the one who is now drawing the ire of the President. What seemed to upset the president most was Myers was mocking the president's comments that he made while he was addressing troops in Japan about bringing back steam powered catapults on aircraft carriers.
00:08:45
Speaker 4: Okay, please explain it.
00:08:46
Speaker 1: All right, So here's what Trump's post said, targeting Seth Myers was going to read it for batim.
00:08:51
Speaker 3: These are his words.
00:08:53
Speaker 1: Seth Myers of NBC may be the least talented person to perform live in the history of television. In fact, he may be the worst to perform live or otherwise. I watched to show the other night for the first time in years. In it, he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers, which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on, he went, a truly deranged lunatic. Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this, no talent, no ratings, one hundred percent anti Trump, which is probably illegal.
00:09:28
Speaker 2: Which means I should probably have the license take away. Now, mocking Trump is probably illegal, That's what he said. So in the same segment, Meyers actually predicted what the President's reaction was going to be, saying, quote, Trump thinks that if you say something mean about him, that's treason. He said that before Trump, look, he used him essentially of doing something illegal.
00:09:48
Speaker 1: Kind of wild, huh, called it all right. Next up on the Run, did the FBI actually thwart a terror attack?
00:09:54
Speaker 3: On Friday?
00:09:54
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Pattel announced on x his agency prevented a quote potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over the holiday weekend end quote And.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: There hasn't been anything after that. There has been nothing, no update about it. But according to a Michigan defense lawyer, the plot never existed. Now, the attorney represents one of the young men arrested said that from what he has seen, he doesn't believe a terror plot was ever planned, and he doesn't believe any actual charges are going to be filed against his client or the other four suspects.
00:10:29
Speaker 4: He said.
00:10:29
Speaker 2: The group arrested were all young men, all us citizens, and they were.
00:10:33
Speaker 4: Gamers between the ages of sixteen and twenty.
00:10:35
Speaker 1: That's right, And he added this, if these young men were on forms that they should not have been on, or things of that nature, then we'll have to wait and see. But I don't believe that there's anything illegal about any of the activity they were doing. Patel said more information would be coming regarding the case, but so far the FBI and Michigan authorities have not elaborated, only initially alleging that the plan was inspired by Islamic state group extremism.
00:11:01
Speaker 2: This is relevant because he's had egg on his face very recently, Charlie Kirk killing right. He put out, we got somebody in custody, and he has been accused that this is not me. I'm repeating. You can find it anywhere that he's jumping the gun to try to take credit correct either personally or for the FBI. But he's trying to take credit this for folks on the ground, the law men doing the work.
00:11:25
Speaker 4: They're pissed. Yeah, you're screwing with our investigation. One.
00:11:27
Speaker 2: We're not ready to go, or you might impact future arrests. We might make you get it out there. They'll say this is transparency.
00:11:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you get it out there, but then you don't follow up with information, and what happens is then there's a vacuum and someone else fills it aka the defense attorney for one of the men. So we shall see if we hear more about that today.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: All right, Continuing on the run here on this Monday morning, Hamas handed over the remains of three more hostages yesterday, including those of American Omer Neutra. Now he is a Long Island native, and there's an American Israeli who was killed in the initial Hamas attack on October seventh, twenty twenty three, that set off the conflict.
00:12:04
Speaker 1: The other two bodies returned yesterday were those of Israeli soldiers. There are now eight hostages still yet to be returned by Hamas. But the good news is the ceasefire is holding all right.
00:12:14
Speaker 2: Continuing on the run now, and at least eleven people were injured in a mass stabbing attack on a London bound train over the weekend. At least one person remains in life threatening condition this morning.
00:12:24
Speaker 1: Two men were initially arrested, but only one remains in custody this morning. A thirty two year old man who police say is a British citizen. There was a second man that was released. He apparently was not involved in the attack. And police don't have a motive yet for what happened, but they say it is not terror related.
00:12:42
Speaker 2: Our folks stay with us on this Monday Morning run when we come back. Some folks were really running yesterday at the New York City Marathon, and we have two major records to report. Also, LA's gonna be a big party there. Also coming up, the longest field goal ever kicked and the NFL was kicked yesterday. The guy's last name is Little. Also, the box office struggled this weekend, and folks, Dr Pepper, its main competitor, is back. Mister Pip is coming through us store near you. Maybe all right, folks, We continue on this Monday Morning run with a much longer run of twenty six point two miles.
00:13:30
Speaker 4: If you saw our.
00:13:31
Speaker 2: Episode yesterday, Robot and I had some series marathon fomo because we.
00:13:35
Speaker 4: Were for a couple of reasons we explained in the.
00:13:38
Speaker 2: Episode, did not run the New York City Marathon yesterday for the first time in four years. Yes, oh yeah, okay, but it was quite a day. A couple of records. Set a record set for the fastest woman to ever race and a record for the closest finish on the men's side.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: And I probably should have asked you for pronouncers, but is it.
00:13:57
Speaker 1: Helen o'bie of Kenya broke the woman's record. Her time was two nineteen fifty one. That's like my half marathon time. But anyway, she beat her previous record by two and a half minutes. And she also won the race in twenty twenty three as well, so she yes is a veteran. On the men's side, Benson Kibruto of Kenya won by.
00:14:19
Speaker 3: Three one hundreds of a second.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: Wow, winners get one hundred thousand. You get an extra fifty thousand for setting a record.
00:14:26
Speaker 4: That was a good day for her. She made one hundred three degree amazing in two hours yesterday.
00:14:30
Speaker 3: That's fantastic.
00:14:30
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of training that went involved. Y. Yes, yes, I thought that was impressive. I'll continue on the run now. I know La likes to party, but it's gonna be a different kind of party today in La, one like we haven't seen since last year because they won the World Series last year as well and had.
00:14:46
Speaker 4: A big party.
00:14:46
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have their victory parade today through downtown and they will have the victory rally at Dodger Stadium right after.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers are the first back to back World Series champions in twenty five years. After pulling off eight, I have to say it was a pretty thrilling an improbable win against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game seven.
00:15:03
Speaker 3: It happened on Saturday night. I woke up just in time to see the ending.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: It went eleven innings, so there was plenty of time to stay up. But you had the look of shock on the Toronto Blue Jays players' faces when that homer.
00:15:17
Speaker 2: But they had it in the back. It was saving waiting thirty two years and it was almost wrap.
00:15:21
Speaker 4: That's tough.
00:15:22
Speaker 1: It was, God, what a great And then we saw those Dodgers fans walking around New York City yesterday and you rolled your eyes.
00:15:28
Speaker 4: A little much.
00:15:28
Speaker 3: You're like, you're in New York, remember where you were?
00:15:32
Speaker 4: They were fully dacked a toe.
00:15:34
Speaker 3: They were celebrating and rubbing in all of our faces.
00:15:36
Speaker 4: Blue socks for guys say, it was too much? All right?
00:15:39
Speaker 2: Next on the run here, a new NFL record was set yesterday for the longest field goal in NFL history, and I am especially proud because it was set by a former razorback that we love. His name is Cam Little, but he booted a sixty eight yard or yesterday at the end of the first half where they were playing against the Las Vegas Raiders.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: The previous record was sixty six yards, held by Justin Tucker in twenty twenty one. Cam hit the field goal with some room to spare, but I knew this sounded familiar. This is not his longest field goal this year. Remember we talked about this. He hit a seventy yard or earlier in the year that didn't count because it was during a preseason game.
00:16:16
Speaker 3: So it's cool to see him get that record. Anyway, Oh this.
00:16:19
Speaker 4: Is and I love, love, love love this kid. He's a good dude. But it's good to see that happen.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: His strategy ropes, he said, when you go out there, he tells himself, kick it as hard as you can't.
00:16:28
Speaker 3: I was gonna guess that's what he was gonna tell himself.
00:16:30
Speaker 4: You only have to do kick it hard and kick it straight, and you'll make your feel goal. Yeah. Good stuff.
00:16:35
Speaker 2: Next up on the run here for what a terrible weekend at the box office. Actually, it was the worst weekend of the year. Robes at the box office. One of the few that we haven't we haven't gone to a movie.
00:16:44
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny, I have suggested a couple of movies. We were kind of like, uh, okay, we haven't gotten excited enough.
00:16:50
Speaker 4: And that is the point. So Regretting You was number one at the Colleen.
00:16:55
Speaker 2: Hoover yep, but it only had eight point one million dollars.
00:17:00
Speaker 4: I got to win the box office over the weekend.
00:17:02
Speaker 3: And right in second place was Black Phone two.
00:17:05
Speaker 1: We saw that how many weeks ago, like three weeks ago, that was neck and neck with Regretting You at eight million. The box office total for the weekend forty nine million. That is the lowest box office total for all of twenty twenty five. And for the month of October, movies made four hundred and twenty five million. That's the worst box office since nineteen ninety seven.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what happened this weekend? And it makes sense right. First of all, they didn't have a lot of movies that were in wide release, so it wasn't a lot of new stuff. Halloween it was on Friday. Yeah, families, everybody doing something else. Then the best World Series game ever happened on Saturday night, so people occupied once again. The other thing wrong they didn't stack the Halloween calendar with scary movies.
00:17:48
Speaker 1: That was surprising to me that I kept looking and googling yep, horror, new horror movies out in theaters now. I did that actually every week this month because I thought, oh, we'll have some fun movies to go see.
00:18:00
Speaker 3: There weren't any thinking about it.
00:18:02
Speaker 2: Hard Eyes, Weapons, Sinners. A lot of horror movies did, even Final Destination, but they released them. Maybe they don't want to give people too many options at Halloween. Then maybe your movie won't be the hit. I don't know, but I.
00:18:13
Speaker 1: Guess Black Phone was the only one Black Phone too that came like they're really you'd think that they would have.
00:18:19
Speaker 3: I don't know, like.
00:18:21
Speaker 4: Maybe it's too many.
00:18:22
Speaker 2: But this has been a huge This is my maybe a record setting year for horror movies and Conjuring. Oh my god, I forgot about Conduring. It's great A terrible Halloween. And then you had big movies like tron Ares and Smashing Machine that got a lot of attention and costs a lot of money to make, but did not do.
00:18:35
Speaker 4: Well with them.
00:18:36
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't even know what you're talking about.
00:18:37
Speaker 4: Masking Machine was a Dwayne Rock Johnson that he's.
00:18:40
Speaker 1: Getting right, That got it? Just yeah, it didn't do well in the box office.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: All right.
00:18:44
Speaker 1: Well, for the final leg of our run, everyone, mister PIB is back. Coca Cola announced it's bringing back the fan favorite. The company says it will have a new look, extra caffeine and a bold cherry flavor.
00:18:58
Speaker 4: That's what we need. Extra cap how much more? They say?
00:19:01
Speaker 2: Thirty percent more and quote with a bold spicy cherry flavor with hints of caramel.
00:19:07
Speaker 1: That sounds right up my alley. I love mister Pepper. I used to love mister PIB. I used to love doctor Pepper. So it's I didn't Honestly, I didn't know mister PIB was gone because I don't drink sugary drinks anymore.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: But I guess I stopped twenty five years ago, or so.
00:19:22
Speaker 2: It launched in nineteen seventy two. It was renamed PIB Extra in two thousand and one. I have never heard, never heard that, Okay, so it's only going to be available in some regions. I'll just leave it there. There are reasons for Coca Cola.
00:19:36
Speaker 3: Doing Can we get it in New York right now?
00:19:38
Speaker 4: Not sure?
00:19:39
Speaker 2: Probably Atlanta only available in some regions because of a lawsuit. Doctor Pepper now has the right to distribute its own product in some areas, which means Coca Cola won't be able to handle the distribution of Doctor Pepper.
00:19:54
Speaker 4: So Doctor Pepper might disappear.
00:19:56
Speaker 2: In some places, meaning Coke is taking advantage of that by now putting mister Pib back in some of those places.
00:20:02
Speaker 4: Super confused, so what it is? This is a money move.
00:20:05
Speaker 1: This is not the way popular are Doctor Pepper and mister Pib both thereby.
00:20:10
Speaker 2: Two different companies. Cola makes mister Pib different, Doctor Pepper does Dr Pepper, but Coca Cola has a distribution arm in which they handle some Doctor Dr Pepper and send the bottles. Certain places got it, but now Doctor Pepper is now in control of its own distribution, so Coca Cola is not doing it. There's a vacuum in some of these areas. They bringing back mister Pipp. This is all money. I'm sorry we should have led with that. I know you're excited about, mister pipp but they're not doing this out of the goodness of their own hearts an opportunity, so all.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: Right, all right, Well I hope there's a diet mister pib someday soon. All right, here's your quote of the day everyone. This comes from Gandhi. I thought we could all use a little piece. But I loved this.
00:20:51
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a Gandhi week.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: Let's do a Gandhi week. Let's do a Gandhi week.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: Because I actually was trying to pick which quote I hadn't heard.
00:20:57
Speaker 3: As much of that I loved. I love this one.
00:21:00
Speaker 1: Nobody can hurt me without my permission, I get it.
00:21:08
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking about all the ways somebody can hurt you. I know, I know, I know. But you give people license. We talk about this all the time. You said this to your daughters a lot. Why are you giving somebody that agency? Why are you giving them?
00:21:21
Speaker 3: Why are you giving away your power.
00:21:22
Speaker 4: Power to hurt you? Say?
00:21:25
Speaker 1: I liked it just because there's so many words and finger pointing and things flying around that feel like incoming. But it is a reminder that we can preserve our own peace regardless of what people say or do that we can choose to not let it affect us in a negative way. So I just love this. Nobody can hurt me without my permission. Thank you Gandhi and yes we'll have a Gandhi week. We need a little piece in our lives. And with that, everyone, thanks for running with us on this Monday. I'm Adey Robot and I'm TJ.
00:21:56
Speaker 4: Holmes. Can Y'll tell the difference. We got sleep.
00:21:58
Speaker 2: You're gonna go for this every day, good energy, good sleep, start the week off well, hope you'll have a good Monday.
00:22:04
Speaker 4: We'll run with you outso
