Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Thursday, April ninth. I'm Amy Robot and TJ Holmes. This is a on the road edition of Amy and TJ.
00:00:15
Speaker 2: We've made our way out of New York and made our way to northwest Arkansas. So just let you all know in a different time zone as we're recording this today, and lovely always lovely having you in my state and here where I went to school, and we're watching college students walk to class on campus as we sit here and record this action.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: You know what we were saying.
00:00:34
Speaker 1: It just brings back that youthful hope and enthusiasm that all those right with the world. Just seeing that in these young faces actually shifts your attitude about life. Honestly, when you see it through these college students, I guess through their eyes, through their lenses.
00:00:53
Speaker 4: Of hope of future.
00:00:56
Speaker 2: I hope they don't look through the window with us who've been beating up by life.
00:01:00
Speaker 4: But it is cool to see.
00:01:02
Speaker 2: But thanks as always to my folks in arkansa all for welcoming us back. But good morning to you all. We had a lot to get to on the run. This morning, we got Diddy News. We have a very big crime beat, if you will, but a lot of updates on some major crime stories. We have the latest on the astronauts in space. We hear what they are listening to in space. Also, Michael J. Fox is apparently not dead and he had to prove it to the world because of something CNN did.
00:01:26
Speaker 4: We'll explain that.
00:01:27
Speaker 2: So a lot to get to, but roads we have to start with this ceasefire question mark.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: Yes, So we begin our Friday Eve ron with continued confusion. I think that might be the best way to put it. Is there a sea spire between the United States and Iran or not? Okay, it's being called tentative, fragile, shaky, and Iran is flat out accusing the US of violating parts of the Seaspire deal.
00:01:50
Speaker 4: Already Okay, what parts?
00:01:51
Speaker 2: In particular, they're saying that Lebanon was supposed to be included in this ceasepire. Now, what's happening here is that Israel of has been a partner with the US and attacking Iran. But it was Israel in particular has been going after the Iran backed Hezbla milicion in Lebanon during the war. Those attacks continued yesterday after the ceasefire was put in place. So there seems rove to be some confusion and even the possibility of a diplomatic miscommunication or even lost in translation, as JD Van suggested. But one side thought Lebanon was part of the ceasefire, the other side didn't.
00:02:29
Speaker 4: So that's where we are.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: We never said Lebanon was part of it, and the other side is saying, well, yeah, you said it was.
00:02:35
Speaker 4: So I don't know where this leaves.
00:02:36
Speaker 1: Look, I feel like this is the entire ceasfire deal period. We don't even know what the terms are, what's been agreed to, who agreed to what, because there are competing factions within Iran saying very different things. And yes, the US and Iran we're supposed to hold talks on Saturday, hosted by Pakistan. We don't know if that's still the plan. And yes, by the way, the Strait of Hormuz, which started this TikTok clock down, it's also supposed to be open, but it's unclear if that is happening. Iran did agree to open it for the two weeks during the ceasefire but it said ships would have to coordinate with the Iranian military. And right now the latest reports are nobody's getting through.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: Okay, So what is the President saying about all of this? Yes, he did give us an update another late night post about what's going on, and there are some threats in here. We will read it as he wrote it. Quote from the President on truth social All US ships, aircraft, and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement reached is fully complied with. Now he goes on here, and here's some of the language roades. Nobody wants to hear for any reason, he says, quote if for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely. So wait a minute, let me stop there. Is he saying it's unlikely that we won't have a deal. Is he saying it is likely we will have them? It's some confusing language. Ah, the real agreement reach is fully complied with.
00:04:19
Speaker 1: He thinks that it's going to be fully going to be Yes, Yes, that's what he's saying.
00:04:24
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's what he's saying.
00:04:26
Speaker 2: But then he refers to ropes shooting starts. He said, then the shooting starts if we don't get a deal in place. Quote bigger and better and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed a long time ago. And despite all the fake rhetoric to the contrary, no nuclear weapons and the straight of horror moves, will be open and safe. In the meantime, our great military is loading up and resting, looking forward actually to its next conquest.
00:04:55
Speaker 4: America is back, he said.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Conquest, he said, conquests you. Yes, then words matter, and he used that word. And then we're also seeing that he is also still fixating on what CNN and other news outlets have reported, and he referred to it in that truth Social post as well, about this ten point plan word from the Iranian foreign ministry that completely flies in the phase of what President Trump said Iran agreed to. It's all confusing, but yes, he went out on True Social and wanted, I don't know, are we at like three or four now where he's putting out posts trying to just eviscerate the new York Times and CNN, So he said, the failing New York Times and fake news CNN each reported a totally faked ten point plan on the Iran negotiations, which was meant to discredit the people involved in the peace process. All ten points were made up, hoax, evil losers, make America great again. The problem is the president has not provided And look, I would think this is of utmost importance to the American people.
00:05:57
Speaker 3: We're watching this all play out.
00:05:59
Speaker 1: If he has a ten point plan that he's agreed to start as a basis for negotiations, shouldn't he then provide that ten point plan. If he's saying the one that we do have, the one that is circulating, is fake, okay, then show us the one you have.
00:06:12
Speaker 2: And again, the one circulating has been circulated and again confirmed and reconfirmed and confirmed again by several news outlets who are getting their information from the same Iranian and folks who have been giving that information. The President doesn't like the ten point plan and he is livid that it came out enrolled. It appears Iran got what it wanted and the US got nothing. Nothing They were talking about we want damages like these ten points one. We have to pay them back for the damage we've done.
00:06:41
Speaker 3: Yes, and they get to continue enriching uranium.
00:06:44
Speaker 4: Lifting up the sanctions, and we keep the straight of horror moves.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: It would be like we took like one hundred steps back.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: It makes no sense. So that is the thing that he is upset about. But so we did see. The markets had a big day yesterday on hopes that there was a ceasefire and it was going to hold. However, we can tell you as of this recording here on Thursday morning, the markets and the stock futures are going the opposite direction, and we're a direction.
00:07:08
Speaker 4: We're once again seeing oil prices go up a tick.
00:07:11
Speaker 2: We're seeing stock prices go down a tick because folks aren't sure about what's happening. But for Americans, what they're keeping an eye on gas prices again another uptick. We haven't seen prices stabilize or go down any point during this war. Four to seventeen a gallon is the national average. You folks in California are dear friends paying the highest at five ninety three. Are friends in Kansas and Oklahoma paying the cheapest three forty eight cents right now on average?
00:07:37
Speaker 1: And that is, those are painful numbers for just about everyone in this country.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: All right.
00:07:42
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, Sean Diddy Combs is back in a Manhattan courtroom this morning, a federal appeals court. We'll hear arguments from Diddy's defense team. They're hoping to overturn his convictions of transporting prostitutes across state lines for his so called freak ocks.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: This threw us off. We have so much coming at us and so much on this calendar, Like, wait a minute, that's today?
00:08:02
Speaker 4: Yes?
00:08:03
Speaker 2: Did he is in court today and you said he's asking you to get out immediately.
00:08:06
Speaker 4: Yes, okay.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: So his defense team maintains that his sexual exploits, the freak offs, were protected under the First Amendment.
00:08:14
Speaker 4: Sounds a little odd.
00:08:15
Speaker 2: I don't have time to get into that and why the First Amendment applies to a freak off. But yes, they are arguing that the judge also imposed an overly harsh sentence because he considered the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges. But did he was acquitted of those, so the judge still considered those They said, that is wrong. The defense even said, you're a thirteenth juror.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: Dude, Yeah, that the judge acted inappropriately.
00:08:38
Speaker 1: Now Colms is currently serving a fifty month sentence after a two month trial last summer. That we all remember his attorneys, Yes, as you pointed out, Babe, are asking for his immediate release from prison. And right now his tentative release date has inched up a bit. It's April fifteenth, twenty twenty eight. But we will see what happens in court today.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: I know he wants to get out of prison, but after all this, I think we're talking about two years from today.
00:09:02
Speaker 4: Did he's out again? Yeah, that's still kind of remarkable to think.
00:09:05
Speaker 2: Next up on the run here now, a Long Island man led a secret life as a serial killer, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to killing seven women, admitted to killing an eighth, and a series of murders that played the Long Island community of.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Gilg Beach gil Go Beach.
00:09:19
Speaker 4: I just want to couple use the different g Gilgia.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: Gil It's Gilgo Beach and sixty two year old Rex Huerman was in court surrounded by his victims relatives, many of whom were crying. Reporters who were in the courtroom said this was a dramatic, emotional scene, as the former architect detailed to the judge how he strangled each of his victims dismembered some of them in a crime spree that spanned a seventeen year period.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's going to be back in court in June. Not a lot of mystery there for his sentencing. Is that going to be the one where they have possible victim impact statements?
00:09:57
Speaker 1: Oh?
00:09:57
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, so that one's in June. That is going to be a big deal in a big day. This is always important for the victim's families. But no surprise, no mystery about what his sentence is going to be. He's never getting out of prison.
00:10:08
Speaker 3: Yes, life in prison without the possibility of parole.
00:10:10
Speaker 2: Next on the run here, what a name to have, The Ketamine Queen, The ketamine Queen. Yes, the woman known by that name has now been sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: Yes, Jasmin Sayga pleaded guilty to illegally selling the ketamine that killed actor Matthew Perry. She was facing five charges total. You may remember Matthew Perry died back in twenty twenty three. Four others pleaded guilty as well leading up to his death. But yes, the ketamine queen is going to prison for quite a long time.
00:10:41
Speaker 2: Right, continuing on the run here on this Thursday morning. In the case of well we saw this one coming, I guess right. The husband now of the woman who went missing and the Bahamas after going overboard. Yes, the husband has now been arrested fifty eight year old Brian Hooker and custody after Lynette Hooker his wife just appear late Saturday night from their eight foot dinghy they were in. They were heading from the dinghy going to a larger boat. But he says she fell off.
00:11:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, he yep.
00:11:09
Speaker 1: That is what Brian told authorities that somewhere in the middle of the dark night she fell out of the dinghy in rough seas and high winds, and he categorically denies having anything to do with her disappearance. However, Lynette's daughter has been extremely vocal over the past several days, telling news outlets and police that her stepdad has a history of being violent with her mother and even previously threatened to throw her overboard.
00:11:34
Speaker 2: So all of the signs pointed to it just sounded suspicious obviously, Robes and we have seen similar stories like this over the past. But again he's an innocent man. At this point, the US Coast Guard now leading the criminal investigation into Brian Hooker. Search and rescue efforts for Lynette Hooker have shifted now to a recovery operation in Robes. That is a big deal to recover her body, that there might be evidence of what possibly happened on that boat. We'll stay with us here on this as you call it, a Friday eve Friday eve roun. When we come back, we have lost a legend, the first American to ever climb Everest. But roll if there were things about his background I didn't know and I thought were pretty cool, we'll share some of that. Also coming up, it's never a good sign if you have to make an announcement that hey, I ain't dead and then you had to call CNN and explain that to them. We'll explain that whole story. And the artemus astronauts, what do they listen to when they wake up in the morning. We have the list that NASA put out of their wake up songs, and let's see one, two, maybe three of the eight are on our playlist.
00:12:41
Speaker 1: Stay here, Welcome back everyone to our Thursday morning run.
00:12:52
Speaker 3: And next up on the run.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Jim Whittaker has died at the age of ninety seven.
00:12:59
Speaker 3: Jim Whittaker.
00:13:00
Speaker 1: It might not be a name you immediately recognized, but when I tell you that he will forever be remembered as the first American to summit Mount Everest, it might ring a bell.
00:13:09
Speaker 4: Now that is.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: Such a big deal and a big feat and there's something really cool. No, his family is missing him, but the legacy and to think that somebody went through that much adventure and danger even in their life, lived in ninety.
00:13:21
Speaker 3: Seven, it's amazing.
00:13:22
Speaker 4: So what a life.
00:13:24
Speaker 2: Thank you for what you've given us, mister Whittaker. He died at his home in Washington State in Ropes. He was one, and that kind of got a lot, you know. Alex Hanell I referred to watching climb the building. It gets people excited or motivated or thinking of what I can do, how I can challenge myself. He did that and really brought in a whole new wave. Hell, you might have got into hiking and climbing and whatnot and not even realize he set.
00:13:47
Speaker 4: Eye on that path.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: I will tell you I get chills thinking about this because yes, he created the idea that we can do things we think are impossible, and I think that is so cool to inspire folks. In fact, I haven't even told you, but I've been having conversations about Look, I'm trying to think, do I want to try to get to Everest Base Camp? Like that would be a feat, Like that would be something that I would actually be really proud of.
00:14:10
Speaker 3: The idea of going up to the top of Everest.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: That is such a scary, crazy idea. And yet he did it when no one else had done it before, at least no American had done it before.
00:14:22
Speaker 2: I did it in sixty three, and I believe the first person to do it was about ten years before that. But he was the first American to do it. I didn't know this. You are the one that more so, and anybody introduced me to this company.
00:14:32
Speaker 3: ARII I love ARII.
00:14:33
Speaker 4: I love it.
00:14:34
Speaker 2: Most adventurers or outdoors folks. If you do anything outside, you got to go in that store for something. He was the first full time employee of that company.
00:14:41
Speaker 3: I did not know that. I didn't know that awesome.
00:14:43
Speaker 4: And he ended up being the CEO for some eight years in the seventies. I had no idea, But that's cool. Jim Wedeker, thank you.
00:14:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, rest in peace and just his his contributions to this world continue, all right. Next up on the run, Well, the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated.
00:14:59
Speaker 3: Michael J. Fo Fox is this is cool? He's having some fun.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: After seeing his own obituary accidentally air on CNN this week. It was literally entitled remembering the Life of Michael J.
00:15:13
Speaker 3: Fox. Cannot imagine.
00:15:16
Speaker 4: They call it a tribute video.
00:15:17
Speaker 3: We call an obituary.
00:15:19
Speaker 1: And you know we all have these in newsrooms ready to go, waiting to see when someone we think who might or could die soon is available.
00:15:30
Speaker 4: Okay, First of all, Michael J. Fox is only sixty four.
00:15:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he has parkins, has health issues, but he is out there kicking. He's we see him, all right.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: He was walking the red carpet this week.
00:15:39
Speaker 4: He's work. Yes, okay.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: So I will tell you every news organization this moment has an obituary ready to go. For King Charles, yes right, it's ready, every old legend, old politician, it's ready. Nancy Pelosi, they have one ready to go. Until it sounds morbid, But how many times did you track the queen?
00:16:00
Speaker 4: You had to update it? Every year. That's what I was just Emmon will not die.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Anytime someone had a baby or there was some other event in the royals life, They're like, Amy, we need you to come back in and retrack the queen's obituary because waiting extra.
00:16:13
Speaker 2: Grandchild or whatever updated. Look, everybody has these, they are they don't get up. Joe Biden's is sitting at every with without a double news or we're notident.
00:16:24
Speaker 3: Trump's obituary is sitting there, sitting there.
00:16:26
Speaker 4: That one gets updated every day. Probably.
00:16:28
Speaker 2: But so this is what Michael J. Fox said in reaction. This is perfect.
00:16:33
Speaker 1: This is social media right, Yes, he did this on his threads on Instagram.
00:16:36
Speaker 4: This is great.
00:16:37
Speaker 2: How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death? Do you a switch to MSNBC or whatever they're calling themselves these days. B pour scolding hot water in your lap. If it hurts, you're fine, ce call your wife hopefully she's concerned but reassuring d relax. They do this once every year, or ask yourself, WTF. Good for him, Well done, Michael J.
00:17:05
Speaker 4: FOXX.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: I thought that was great, and then CNN actually had to put out a statement and say the package was published in error. We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J.
00:17:16
Speaker 3: Fox and his family.
00:17:18
Speaker 2: We put out an obituary of a guy who was literally working.
00:17:21
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is so embarrassing, and thankfully he had some fun with it. All right, let's have some fun with what the artemis astronauts are listening to up in outer space. It was released their playlist was released by NASA yesterday. Always fun to hear what other folks are listening to. And I don't know all of these. In fact, I know I might if I heard him. I don't know that I necessarily know their names.
00:17:45
Speaker 2: Sleepyhead by Young and Sick green Light by John Legend. We know that one, of course, three thousands, and that in a dream Freddy Jones band.
00:17:52
Speaker 3: I don't know that one in a day dream. I don't know that one.
00:17:55
Speaker 4: No, all right, Pink Pony Club Love.
00:17:57
Speaker 3: Chapel Roon's Pink Pony Club.
00:17:59
Speaker 2: That is great working class heroes. Don't know the song but know the artist Seelo Green. I don't know that one from him, or maybe I don't know what if I hear it. Good morning, Toby Mack and.
00:18:07
Speaker 1: Mendisa Mendisa like from American idol. Huh, I think that's Mandisa from American I don't know. I actually I want to go through this and start listening, and I definitely don't know. Tokyo Drifting Glass Denzel Curry, and then of course we love this one under Pressure.

Speaker 1: I love hearing that they're jamming up there getting their work done.
00:18:34
Speaker 3: Blast and some music in outer space.

00:18:38
Speaker 3: Right now? I think it's Golden. That's just my song. It's my go to pump song.
00:18:42
Speaker 4: You would annoy all of your fellow it's like, stop your work.
00:18:47
Speaker 3: It would be yours.
00:18:47
Speaker 4: I don't know.
00:18:48
Speaker 2: I was trying to think of something, but it would probably be something hardcore.
00:18:51
Speaker 1: Rap, probably something totally inappropriate for everybody.
00:18:54
Speaker 2: Yep, play this one. I need the full version, not the clean version.
00:18:58
Speaker 1: Let's make everyone uncomfortable space all right, Okay, how about a quarter of the day for you? On this Friday? Eve found this one loved it. Hope you all like it too. You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have more life.
00:19:14
Speaker 3: Don't just exist, but live.
00:19:18
Speaker 4: You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have more life. That makes sense. The time I had, we should be living it up. Yeah we did.
00:19:27
Speaker 2: We We actually moved our equipment and came down to make sure we could look out. It's a sunny day. We have, we have turned and it has. We've had a rough week, I would argue, yes, we've had a very very rough week. And that was a good reminder Robes to pay attention to the moment and put more life into the time we have.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: That's a com Yes, I'll read it one more time so y'all can take this with you. You can't give your life more time, so give the time you have more life.
00:19:55
Speaker 3: Don't just exist.
00:19:57
Speaker 1: Live And with that, everyone, thank you for running with us on this Friday Eve.
00:20:02
Speaker 4: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: Always appreciate you running with us, and this time from northwest Arkansas'll talk to you Elson
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Thursday, April ninth. I'm Amy Robot and TJ Holmes. This is a on the road edition of Amy and TJ.
00:00:15
Speaker 2: We've made our way out of New York and made our way to northwest Arkansas. So just let you all know in a different time zone as we're recording this today, and lovely always lovely having you in my state and here where I went to school, and we're watching college students walk to class on campus as we sit here and record this action.
00:00:33
Speaker 3: You know what we were saying.
00:00:34
Speaker 1: It just brings back that youthful hope and enthusiasm that all those right with the world. Just seeing that in these young faces actually shifts your attitude about life. Honestly, when you see it through these college students, I guess through their eyes, through their lenses.
00:00:53
Speaker 4: Of hope of future.
00:00:56
Speaker 2: I hope they don't look through the window with us who've been beating up by life.
00:01:00
Speaker 4: But it is cool to see.
00:01:02
Speaker 2: But thanks as always to my folks in arkansa all for welcoming us back. But good morning to you all. We had a lot to get to on the run. This morning, we got Diddy News. We have a very big crime beat, if you will, but a lot of updates on some major crime stories. We have the latest on the astronauts in space. We hear what they are listening to in space. Also, Michael J. Fox is apparently not dead and he had to prove it to the world because of something CNN did.
00:01:26
Speaker 4: We'll explain that.
00:01:27
Speaker 2: So a lot to get to, but roads we have to start with this ceasefire question mark.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: Yes, So we begin our Friday Eve ron with continued confusion. I think that might be the best way to put it. Is there a sea spire between the United States and Iran or not? Okay, it's being called tentative, fragile, shaky, and Iran is flat out accusing the US of violating parts of the Seaspire deal.
00:01:50
Speaker 4: Already Okay, what parts?
00:01:51
Speaker 2: In particular, they're saying that Lebanon was supposed to be included in this ceasepire. Now, what's happening here is that Israel of has been a partner with the US and attacking Iran. But it was Israel in particular has been going after the Iran backed Hezbla milicion in Lebanon during the war. Those attacks continued yesterday after the ceasefire was put in place. So there seems rove to be some confusion and even the possibility of a diplomatic miscommunication or even lost in translation, as JD Van suggested. But one side thought Lebanon was part of the ceasefire, the other side didn't.
00:02:29
Speaker 4: So that's where we are.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: We never said Lebanon was part of it, and the other side is saying, well, yeah, you said it was.
00:02:35
Speaker 4: So I don't know where this leaves.
00:02:36
Speaker 1: Look, I feel like this is the entire ceasfire deal period. We don't even know what the terms are, what's been agreed to, who agreed to what, because there are competing factions within Iran saying very different things. And yes, the US and Iran we're supposed to hold talks on Saturday, hosted by Pakistan. We don't know if that's still the plan. And yes, by the way, the Strait of Hormuz, which started this TikTok clock down, it's also supposed to be open, but it's unclear if that is happening. Iran did agree to open it for the two weeks during the ceasefire but it said ships would have to coordinate with the Iranian military. And right now the latest reports are nobody's getting through.
00:03:17
Speaker 2: Okay, So what is the President saying about all of this? Yes, he did give us an update another late night post about what's going on, and there are some threats in here. We will read it as he wrote it. Quote from the President on truth social All US ships, aircraft, and military personnel with additional ammunition, weaponry, and anything else that is appropriate and necessary for the lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded enemy will remain in place in and around Iran until such time as the real agreement reached is fully complied with. Now he goes on here, and here's some of the language roades. Nobody wants to hear for any reason, he says, quote if for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely. So wait a minute, let me stop there. Is he saying it's unlikely that we won't have a deal. Is he saying it is likely we will have them? It's some confusing language. Ah, the real agreement reach is fully complied with.
00:04:19
Speaker 1: He thinks that it's going to be fully going to be Yes, Yes, that's what he's saying.
00:04:24
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's what he's saying.
00:04:26
Speaker 2: But then he refers to ropes shooting starts. He said, then the shooting starts if we don't get a deal in place. Quote bigger and better and stronger than anyone has ever seen before. It was agreed a long time ago. And despite all the fake rhetoric to the contrary, no nuclear weapons and the straight of horror moves, will be open and safe. In the meantime, our great military is loading up and resting, looking forward actually to its next conquest.
00:04:55
Speaker 4: America is back, he said.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: Conquest, he said, conquests you. Yes, then words matter, and he used that word. And then we're also seeing that he is also still fixating on what CNN and other news outlets have reported, and he referred to it in that truth Social post as well, about this ten point plan word from the Iranian foreign ministry that completely flies in the phase of what President Trump said Iran agreed to. It's all confusing, but yes, he went out on True Social and wanted, I don't know, are we at like three or four now where he's putting out posts trying to just eviscerate the new York Times and CNN, So he said, the failing New York Times and fake news CNN each reported a totally faked ten point plan on the Iran negotiations, which was meant to discredit the people involved in the peace process. All ten points were made up, hoax, evil losers, make America great again. The problem is the president has not provided And look, I would think this is of utmost importance to the American people.
00:05:57
Speaker 3: We're watching this all play out.
00:05:59
Speaker 1: If he has a ten point plan that he's agreed to start as a basis for negotiations, shouldn't he then provide that ten point plan. If he's saying the one that we do have, the one that is circulating, is fake, okay, then show us the one you have.
00:06:12
Speaker 2: And again, the one circulating has been circulated and again confirmed and reconfirmed and confirmed again by several news outlets who are getting their information from the same Iranian and folks who have been giving that information. The President doesn't like the ten point plan and he is livid that it came out enrolled. It appears Iran got what it wanted and the US got nothing. Nothing They were talking about we want damages like these ten points one. We have to pay them back for the damage we've done.
00:06:41
Speaker 3: Yes, and they get to continue enriching uranium.
00:06:44
Speaker 4: Lifting up the sanctions, and we keep the straight of horror moves.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: It would be like we took like one hundred steps back.
00:06:50
Speaker 2: It makes no sense. So that is the thing that he is upset about. But so we did see. The markets had a big day yesterday on hopes that there was a ceasefire and it was going to hold. However, we can tell you as of this recording here on Thursday morning, the markets and the stock futures are going the opposite direction, and we're a direction.
00:07:08
Speaker 4: We're once again seeing oil prices go up a tick.
00:07:11
Speaker 2: We're seeing stock prices go down a tick because folks aren't sure about what's happening. But for Americans, what they're keeping an eye on gas prices again another uptick. We haven't seen prices stabilize or go down any point during this war. Four to seventeen a gallon is the national average. You folks in California are dear friends paying the highest at five ninety three. Are friends in Kansas and Oklahoma paying the cheapest three forty eight cents right now on average?
00:07:37
Speaker 1: And that is, those are painful numbers for just about everyone in this country.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: All right.
00:07:42
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, Sean Diddy Combs is back in a Manhattan courtroom this morning, a federal appeals court. We'll hear arguments from Diddy's defense team. They're hoping to overturn his convictions of transporting prostitutes across state lines for his so called freak ocks.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: This threw us off. We have so much coming at us and so much on this calendar, Like, wait a minute, that's today?
00:08:02
Speaker 4: Yes?
00:08:03
Speaker 2: Did he is in court today and you said he's asking you to get out immediately.
00:08:06
Speaker 4: Yes, okay.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: So his defense team maintains that his sexual exploits, the freak offs, were protected under the First Amendment.
00:08:14
Speaker 4: Sounds a little odd.
00:08:15
Speaker 2: I don't have time to get into that and why the First Amendment applies to a freak off. But yes, they are arguing that the judge also imposed an overly harsh sentence because he considered the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges. But did he was acquitted of those, so the judge still considered those They said, that is wrong. The defense even said, you're a thirteenth juror.
00:08:36
Speaker 3: Dude, Yeah, that the judge acted inappropriately.
00:08:38
Speaker 1: Now Colms is currently serving a fifty month sentence after a two month trial last summer. That we all remember his attorneys, Yes, as you pointed out, Babe, are asking for his immediate release from prison. And right now his tentative release date has inched up a bit. It's April fifteenth, twenty twenty eight. But we will see what happens in court today.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: I know he wants to get out of prison, but after all this, I think we're talking about two years from today.
00:09:02
Speaker 4: Did he's out again? Yeah, that's still kind of remarkable to think.
00:09:05
Speaker 2: Next up on the run here now, a Long Island man led a secret life as a serial killer, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to killing seven women, admitted to killing an eighth, and a series of murders that played the Long Island community of.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Gilg Beach gil Go Beach.
00:09:19
Speaker 4: I just want to couple use the different g Gilgia.
00:09:22
Speaker 1: Gil It's Gilgo Beach and sixty two year old Rex Huerman was in court surrounded by his victims relatives, many of whom were crying. Reporters who were in the courtroom said this was a dramatic, emotional scene, as the former architect detailed to the judge how he strangled each of his victims dismembered some of them in a crime spree that spanned a seventeen year period.
00:09:48
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's going to be back in court in June. Not a lot of mystery there for his sentencing. Is that going to be the one where they have possible victim impact statements?
00:09:57
Speaker 1: Oh?
00:09:57
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, so that one's in June. That is going to be a big deal in a big day. This is always important for the victim's families. But no surprise, no mystery about what his sentence is going to be. He's never getting out of prison.
00:10:08
Speaker 3: Yes, life in prison without the possibility of parole.
00:10:10
Speaker 2: Next on the run here, what a name to have, The Ketamine Queen, The ketamine Queen. Yes, the woman known by that name has now been sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: Yes, Jasmin Sayga pleaded guilty to illegally selling the ketamine that killed actor Matthew Perry. She was facing five charges total. You may remember Matthew Perry died back in twenty twenty three. Four others pleaded guilty as well leading up to his death. But yes, the ketamine queen is going to prison for quite a long time.
00:10:41
Speaker 2: Right, continuing on the run here on this Thursday morning. In the case of well we saw this one coming, I guess right. The husband now of the woman who went missing and the Bahamas after going overboard. Yes, the husband has now been arrested fifty eight year old Brian Hooker and custody after Lynette Hooker his wife just appear late Saturday night from their eight foot dinghy they were in. They were heading from the dinghy going to a larger boat. But he says she fell off.
00:11:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, he yep.
00:11:09
Speaker 1: That is what Brian told authorities that somewhere in the middle of the dark night she fell out of the dinghy in rough seas and high winds, and he categorically denies having anything to do with her disappearance. However, Lynette's daughter has been extremely vocal over the past several days, telling news outlets and police that her stepdad has a history of being violent with her mother and even previously threatened to throw her overboard.
00:11:34
Speaker 2: So all of the signs pointed to it just sounded suspicious obviously, Robes and we have seen similar stories like this over the past. But again he's an innocent man. At this point, the US Coast Guard now leading the criminal investigation into Brian Hooker. Search and rescue efforts for Lynette Hooker have shifted now to a recovery operation in Robes. That is a big deal to recover her body, that there might be evidence of what possibly happened on that boat. We'll stay with us here on this as you call it, a Friday eve Friday eve roun. When we come back, we have lost a legend, the first American to ever climb Everest. But roll if there were things about his background I didn't know and I thought were pretty cool, we'll share some of that. Also coming up, it's never a good sign if you have to make an announcement that hey, I ain't dead and then you had to call CNN and explain that to them. We'll explain that whole story. And the artemus astronauts, what do they listen to when they wake up in the morning. We have the list that NASA put out of their wake up songs, and let's see one, two, maybe three of the eight are on our playlist.
00:12:41
Speaker 1: Stay here, Welcome back everyone to our Thursday morning run.
00:12:52
Speaker 3: And next up on the run.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Jim Whittaker has died at the age of ninety seven.
00:12:59
Speaker 3: Jim Whittaker.
00:13:00
Speaker 1: It might not be a name you immediately recognized, but when I tell you that he will forever be remembered as the first American to summit Mount Everest, it might ring a bell.
00:13:09
Speaker 4: Now that is.
00:13:10
Speaker 2: Such a big deal and a big feat and there's something really cool. No, his family is missing him, but the legacy and to think that somebody went through that much adventure and danger even in their life, lived in ninety.
00:13:21
Speaker 3: Seven, it's amazing.
00:13:22
Speaker 4: So what a life.
00:13:24
Speaker 2: Thank you for what you've given us, mister Whittaker. He died at his home in Washington State in Ropes. He was one, and that kind of got a lot, you know. Alex Hanell I referred to watching climb the building. It gets people excited or motivated or thinking of what I can do, how I can challenge myself. He did that and really brought in a whole new wave. Hell, you might have got into hiking and climbing and whatnot and not even realize he set.
00:13:47
Speaker 4: Eye on that path.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: I will tell you I get chills thinking about this because yes, he created the idea that we can do things we think are impossible, and I think that is so cool to inspire folks. In fact, I haven't even told you, but I've been having conversations about Look, I'm trying to think, do I want to try to get to Everest Base Camp? Like that would be a feat, Like that would be something that I would actually be really proud of.
00:14:10
Speaker 3: The idea of going up to the top of Everest.
00:14:14
Speaker 1: That is such a scary, crazy idea. And yet he did it when no one else had done it before, at least no American had done it before.
00:14:22
Speaker 2: I did it in sixty three, and I believe the first person to do it was about ten years before that. But he was the first American to do it. I didn't know this. You are the one that more so, and anybody introduced me to this company.
00:14:32
Speaker 3: ARII I love ARII.
00:14:33
Speaker 4: I love it.
00:14:34
Speaker 2: Most adventurers or outdoors folks. If you do anything outside, you got to go in that store for something. He was the first full time employee of that company.
00:14:41
Speaker 3: I did not know that. I didn't know that awesome.
00:14:43
Speaker 4: And he ended up being the CEO for some eight years in the seventies. I had no idea, But that's cool. Jim Wedeker, thank you.
00:14:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, rest in peace and just his his contributions to this world continue, all right. Next up on the run, Well, the rumors of his death were greatly exaggerated.
00:14:59
Speaker 3: Michael J. Fo Fox is this is cool? He's having some fun.
00:15:03
Speaker 1: After seeing his own obituary accidentally air on CNN this week. It was literally entitled remembering the Life of Michael J.
00:15:13
Speaker 3: Fox. Cannot imagine.
00:15:16
Speaker 4: They call it a tribute video.
00:15:17
Speaker 3: We call an obituary.
00:15:19
Speaker 1: And you know we all have these in newsrooms ready to go, waiting to see when someone we think who might or could die soon is available.
00:15:30
Speaker 4: Okay, First of all, Michael J. Fox is only sixty four.
00:15:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he has parkins, has health issues, but he is out there kicking. He's we see him, all right.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: He was walking the red carpet this week.
00:15:39
Speaker 4: He's work. Yes, okay.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: So I will tell you every news organization this moment has an obituary ready to go. For King Charles, yes right, it's ready, every old legend, old politician, it's ready. Nancy Pelosi, they have one ready to go. Until it sounds morbid, But how many times did you track the queen?
00:16:00
Speaker 4: You had to update it? Every year. That's what I was just Emmon will not die.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Anytime someone had a baby or there was some other event in the royals life, They're like, Amy, we need you to come back in and retrack the queen's obituary because waiting extra.
00:16:13
Speaker 2: Grandchild or whatever updated. Look, everybody has these, they are they don't get up. Joe Biden's is sitting at every with without a double news or we're notident.
00:16:24
Speaker 3: Trump's obituary is sitting there, sitting there.
00:16:26
Speaker 4: That one gets updated every day. Probably.
00:16:28
Speaker 2: But so this is what Michael J. Fox said in reaction. This is perfect.
00:16:33
Speaker 1: This is social media right, Yes, he did this on his threads on Instagram.
00:16:36
Speaker 4: This is great.
00:16:37
Speaker 2: How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death? Do you a switch to MSNBC or whatever they're calling themselves these days. B pour scolding hot water in your lap. If it hurts, you're fine, ce call your wife hopefully she's concerned but reassuring d relax. They do this once every year, or ask yourself, WTF. Good for him, Well done, Michael J.
00:17:05
Speaker 4: FOXX.
00:17:06
Speaker 1: I thought that was great, and then CNN actually had to put out a statement and say the package was published in error. We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J.
00:17:16
Speaker 3: Fox and his family.
00:17:18
Speaker 2: We put out an obituary of a guy who was literally working.
00:17:21
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is so embarrassing, and thankfully he had some fun with it. All right, let's have some fun with what the artemis astronauts are listening to up in outer space. It was released their playlist was released by NASA yesterday. Always fun to hear what other folks are listening to. And I don't know all of these. In fact, I know I might if I heard him. I don't know that I necessarily know their names.

00:18:47
Speaker 4: I don't know.
00:18:48
Speaker 2: I was trying to think of something, but it would probably be something hardcore.
