Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone.
00:00:06
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, January twenty seventh.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robot and I AMTJ. Holmes.
00:00:11
Speaker 3: And where are we It looks like Iceland out the window there. It is freezing here in New York. And yes, the Hudson looks like we've got little icebergs out there. Almost.
00:00:19
Speaker 1: Yeah. We've been posting it on our social media accounts because I have to say, Look, I didn't always have a view of the Hudson, but lived here for more than twenty years.
00:00:28
Speaker 2: I have never seen the Hudson this icy.
00:00:31
Speaker 1: It looks like we're in like the Northwest territories of Canada or something in the Arctic Circle.
00:00:37
Speaker 2: That's what it looks and feels like here in New York City.
00:00:39
Speaker 3: We'll get used to it. It's gonna be there for quite a while. A lot of the country right now still dealing We got people with power out, we got people still dealing with this frigid cold. We're going to be dealing with it for the next week plus, and a lot of places we will get into that as always. Good morning always as well. Top right corner of your Apple podcast app, where you see our show page. That button it says follow click that you can always get our updates when you subscribe. A lot of updates, it seems lately, a lot of them coming out of a couple of hot spots around the country and around the world. But our run this morning will take us to DC, to Maine, to Mexico, to California, and even to some federal courthouses. But we have to begin this run this morning in Minneapolis. Major shifts in ropes. Is this the first day we've been able to wake up in all this and say we have quite frankly, a very positive update out of Minneapolis.
00:01:29
Speaker 1: I would say that for the first time in weeks, there is hope, and hope is a powerful thing, and we have some of it now.
00:01:35
Speaker 3: And we see maybe a way out for the first time. So the big headline this morning is that there is going to be a shift and who's in charge on the ground Border Patrol Commander Greg Bavino. You've seen his face a lot. He is going to be leaving, expected to leave Minneapolis today as well as a number of agents leaving now arriving in his place will be borders are Tom Holman. He's going to take over opera there. He's a forty year VET with the Department of Homeland Security. He has served several presidents, including President Obama.
00:02:05
Speaker 1: Yes, and the news of Bovino's departure, Holman's arrival and some very cordial, promising phone calls between President Trump and state leaders. Yeah, this is all pointing to a seismic shift in tone and strategy coming from the top down from the White House, as more and more people, including seemingly, dare we say, Trump himself, recognizing that the initial DHS depiction of Saturday shooting of ICUNW nurse alex pretty does not match the multiple videos that we see with our own eyes of this incident. So Trump spoke with both Governor Tim Walls and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry on Monday, and my goodness, by all accounts, the conversations were productive.
00:02:53
Speaker 3: According to Trump himself, he actually says that they are all on the same wavelength those with President Trump's words. Meanwhile, Jacob Fry, the Mayor of Minneapolis, he also said that the President agreed that the situation cannot continue the way it is. Governor Walt, also letting out some similar sentiments, now came out of this, and Fry was the one that let us know that. In fact, the President told him that some agents will start to leave today. We don't know how many that means, but Robes just to hear we go from two thousand to a surge of three thousand to now some are going to be leaving. If five leave, people will take that at least twenty six protesters do need to let you know, even though there was some positive updates, there was a bit of an ugly scene last night. You had at least twenty six people arrested. Protesters they gathered outside a hotel that they believed Bevino was staying at that were banging pots, pans, blowing whistles. But they were out there unlawful assembly and a number of them were arrested.
00:03:52
Speaker 2: That's right.
00:03:53
Speaker 1: On one other note today, there are two hearings taking place in Minnesota in federal court. One involves that order that is seeking to prevent federal officials from destroying any evidence related to the pretty shooting. And by the way, the Department of Homeland Security has acknowledged there are bodycam There were bodycams on those officers, and they will be preserving the video from those bodycams, so that will be interesting. And then the other court hearing out of Minnesota is from the Attorney General, Keith Ellison, asking for an end completely to the ice deployment in that state. So we'll see how those hearings go next up on the Run, though, the death toll from this weekend's massive winter storm has risen to at least twenty nine. At least five of those deaths. Look, we hear local reporters talk about this all the time. We kind of chuckle at it. Be careful when you're shoveling snow. Five of those deaths happened while people were shoveling snow. And then there were eight deaths in New York City alone, mostly from hypothermia. And that cold, that dangerous cold, is going to be the big story for the next several days, adding to the misery of the sub freezing temperatures millions are experiencing. Yeah, we're lucky we have heat here in New York City. That's not the case for a lot of folks.
00:05:05
Speaker 3: There's a lot of folks. We're talking in the hundreds of thousands. At least five hundred and fifty thousand customers are still without power as of this morning. Cities like Dallas and New York. Shelters there are filling up. Look, we see folks, homeless folks, and I know people shake their heads and don't bother and don't make eyecock contact a lot of times. But folks, your hearts have got to go out to people who don't have anywhere to go for shelter from this type of cold. So a lot of those shelters are filling up. Air travel, give your heads up here. It is starting to improve, but don't let that make you feel too hopeful that you're going to get where you're going. Monday, nearly six thousand flights were canceled, eight thousand delays. As of this morning, we're looking upwards over at least a thousand cancelations as of this recording, and temperatures, as we mentioned, not getting back into above freezing until predicted sometime middle of next week. Ropes.
00:05:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, a long way to go.
00:05:59
Speaker 1: But next up on the run, we're going to head to Maine, where we now know six people died after their jet took off in the height of that winter storm on Sunday night. The private plane flipped over and burned on impact right after takeoff. This happened in Bengor International Airport just before eight pm again on Sunday evening.
00:06:18
Speaker 3: INTSB is looking into this and experts are pointing to what seems like the obvious weather. What was going on with the weather at the time. Yes, it was absolutely freezing, I believe at the time at least the wind show was certainly in the negative temperatures when they were taking off. It should have or could have quickly accumulated, they say, on the wings of these planes and didn't allow the plane to literally get off the ground the way it needed to happen. Now, there has been talk already rode this exact model plane. There have been a couple of other documented incidents of things like this happening. We do have an audio recording now of air traffic controller. It's been released and you can hear somebody saying just forty five seconds after the plane was cleared for takeoff that we have a passenger aircraft up side down.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: And officials have not released the identities of the victims, but family members have spoken out to some members of the press saying a Houston event planner and the pilot of the aircraft were on board and the plane was traveling we know, from Houston to Paris. It had just stopped briefly to refuel in Bangor, Maine when this happened.
00:07:21
Speaker 3: I continue on the run here. Now story in a lot of attention. Normally you would just say, hey, a big drug dealer has been busted. But when the drug dealer also used to be an Olympian, well, it's getting a little more attention. You've seen this by now, probably a former Olympic snowboarder. He is Canadian, but he is behind bars here in the US this morning, accused of being a cocaine smuggling kingpin who is responsible for multiple drug related murders. Ryan Wedding is his name. Forty four years old, pleaded not guilty to all the charges in the California court. FBI director Cash Burttel said he went from an Olympic snowboarder to the largest narco trafficker in modern time.
00:08:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were pointing out when they were bringing him to California from Mexico, there was Cash Bettel right behind him. And then yes, spoke to the waiting press. Now, the charges against Wedding are significant. They say he ran to participated in a drug trafficking operation that shipped as much as sixty tons of cocaine. I'm trying to get that my head around that number. Sixty tons of cocaine through Columbia, Mexico, California, and into Canada as well as other parts of the US. And by the way, Wedding competed in a single event for Canada in the two thousand and two Winter Games in Salt Lake City. He placed twenty fourth out of thirty two in the parallel giant slalom snowboarding event. And he's been on the FBI's top ten most Wanted fugitives list since last March. They found him in Mexico. He had been hiding out for the past decade.
00:08:48
Speaker 3: I know it's a headline. Olympian. Okay, he wasn't a world champion, he wasn't gold medal. He needed another line of work. Turned out Larring wasn't going to be his thing.
00:08:58
Speaker 1: Yes, he was better at hiding from authorities than he was at actually on the snowboard.
00:09:03
Speaker 3: All right, continue here now on this Tuesday morning, Roun Yay. We heard from Yay and we heard what a lot of people have been waiting to hear for a long time. Yes yay. The artist formerly known as Kanye West, is asking for forgiveness and has issued a full page maya culpa apologizing for a lot of his antics over the past several years, his controversies and he opened up and this article essentially it was an ad in the Wall Street Journal saying to those I have heard. He went on in a long writing to say that a previously unknown frontal lobe injury from his twenty twenty Excuse Me two thousand and two car accident has recently led to a bipolar diagnosis that fueled his erratic and offensive behavior. He apologized specifically to the Jewish community, saying he's not anti Semitic, despite many of his public comments, selling swastika t shirts and creating music like Hyle Hitler. He blamed all of that on his manic episode.
00:09:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he apologized specifically to those who love him and to the Black community for being his foundation and thanked them for standing by him despite all of his antics. He says he's now on medication, He's in therapy. He says he is living a clean life. He credited his wife for getting him to seek help. He says he doesn't expect sympathy, He just wants the opportunity to earn trust again. Some we should point out our skeptical of his timing because Yay has his twelfth studio album set to be released this Friday.
00:10:28
Speaker 3: No better time like the present. An apology, people, I'm waiting to hear. This is one step. It doesn't mean everybody go and forgive and everything's okay, But man, the first step has to be that.
00:10:38
Speaker 2: So happy we applaud him for that.
00:10:40
Speaker 3: All right, folks, stay with us here on this Tuesday morning RON when we come back a major break in vaccine recommendations that maybe is just going to confuse and frustrate parents even more. Also coming up, if you ever think that your phone is spying on you, well there might be a lawsuit you need to join. Stay here, we continue now on this Tuesday morning RON. A major medical headline involving your kids. The American Academy of Pediatrics has announced it is breaking from the federal government's vaccine recommendations. This is the first time in thirty years this has happened. The Academy says it will continue to endorse vaccines against eighteen potentially life threatening diseases, including COVID, the flu, hepatitis A and B, as well as meles measles. Despite what the federal government says.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, they're sticking to the vaccines that they previously recommended, that the government previously recommended, and they are not adopting the new CDC guidance that recommends children only receive eleven of those eighteen vaccines. Here's what the American Academy of Pediatrics had to say about their decision. We used to partner very closely with CDC to create a unified, harmonized set of vaccine recommendations. But these recent changes to the CDC schedule are a strong departure from the medical evidence and no longer offer the optimal way to prevent illness in children. That is some strong language. And look, the big concern had been will insurance still cover vaccines no longer recommended by the CDC. The government is telling us that they will, but there is concern that that could change. And even when we're talking about the flu vaccine, people have pointed out, now you can't just walk into Walgreens or your local pharmacy and get your child a flu vaccine. You know, have to go to the pediatrician and you have to get a prescription, so they've already set there are already barriers now in place for it doesn't make it as easy for kids to get vaccines that parents may want them to have.
00:12:52
Speaker 3: All right, Well, last leg of our run here. Now, Google, you think they're illegally recording your private conversations and in supplying your information to target advertisers. Essentially, do you think your phone is spying on you? You ever had that moment where you're talking about something and then I don't know, butterflies, and then twenty minutes later you pick up your phone, you go on your Instagram with something, WHOA, why are there butterflies here? It's just a coincidence, I argue, But there are some like U Roes who believe absolutely that's your phone spying.
00:13:22
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent believe it. I will say things. I have specific instances where I am talking about something or discussing something, and all of a sudden I get a targeted at describing that very thing.
00:13:36
Speaker 2: I don't think it's coincidence.
00:13:37
Speaker 3: Well, the last thing you folks need is validation. But it seems like maybe you have some now because Google has just agreed to pay sixty eight million dollars to settle a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit claims Google's voice assistant illegally recorded users and then shared those conversations with advertisers.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: I knew it. By the way, Google is not admitting wrongdoing here.
00:13:58
Speaker 1: They're just avoiding a lane the probably much more costly lawsuits. So please know that they are not saying, yeah, that happened. In fact, they say that it only happens when registers. It only registers people's speech. They didn't even say recorded. It only registers people's speech when you say, first, hey Google. But this lawsuit claims their devices recorded them when they didn't say hey Google. But some of the folks in this lawsuit said that Google recorded their conversations about financial issues, personal decisions, and employment and it was all then displayed in targeted advertisements. So the settlement still has to be approved by a federal judge. But once that happens, Google has agreed to place sixty eight million dollars in a fund to pay out all consumer claims, and apparently it will cover anyone who bought a device with Google on it since May eighteenth of twenty sixteen, and we won't get the way forward until this judge signs off on it. But I'm imagining, how about everybody just raises their hand and says me too, to get.
00:15:00
Speaker 2: Like everybody don't have sense.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: Everybody is eligible to be a part, So the fewer people sign on, the bigger my cut will be. Is that how I work?
00:15:07
Speaker 2: Correct?
00:15:08
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have even put this in the broadcast or in the podcast.
00:15:12
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry that last thing y'all heard.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: It was a real story. Oh yes, no, Oh, and I forgot. It's been so long.
00:15:19
Speaker 1: I have the quote of the day to day before we let y'all go, We do have this one. I had so many to choose from, but I found this one today and I really liked it, especially with everything that's going on in the news in Minneapolis and all the conflict we've seen. How about this validation is not the same as agreement, and knowing the difference will help you masterfully navigate almost any conflict you have.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: Okay, you're gonna have to help me with that. Validation is not the same as what agreement validation and agreement.
00:15:52
Speaker 1: Validation is not the same as agreement, agreement and knowing the difference will help you masterfully navigate any almost any conflict you have.
00:16:00
Speaker 2: Here is the explanation.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: A lot of us think that if you validate someone, you have to agree with their facts or you have to condone their behavior. But the argument is that validating an emotion behind someone's action without agreeing with the action is where the power lies in terms of compromise and moving forward and getting out of a conflict. So you can validate how someone feels without agreeing with their actions. And that may have been what we ended up seeing happen when you've got leaders who see the same thing in two different ways. But if you can at least validate how the other side may feel, even if you don't agree with the actions, that is how you get through conflict.
00:16:40
Speaker 2: I thought that was cool.
00:16:42
Speaker 3: Apply that to your relationships today, folks, Yeah, because it could help.
00:16:47
Speaker 2: It absolutely could help.
00:16:48
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to feel seen, all right, and without everyone. We always appreciate you running with us, especially on this Tuesday, this very chilly Tuesday.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: I'm Ami Robox and I'm TJ.

00:00:39
Speaker 3: We'll get used to it. It's gonna be there for quite a while. A lot of the country right now still dealing We got people with power out, we got people still dealing with this frigid cold.

Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, they're sticking to the vaccines that they previously recommended, that the government previously recommended, and they are not adopting the new CDC guidance that recommends children only receive eleven of those eighteen vaccines. Here's what the American Academy of Pediatrics had to say about their decision. We used to partner very closely with CDC to create a unified, harmonized set of vaccine recommendations. But these recent changes to the CDC schedule are a strong departure from the medical evidence and no longer offer the optimal way to prevent illness in children. That is some strong language. And look, the big concern had been will insurance still cover vaccines no longer recommended by the CDC. The government is telling us that they will, but there is concern that that could change. And even when we're talking about the flu vaccine, people have pointed out, now you can't just walk into Walgreens or your local pharmacy and get your child a flu vaccine. You know, have to go to the pediatrician and you have to get a prescription, so they've already set there are already barriers now in place for it doesn't make it as easy for kids to get vaccines that parents may want them to have.
00:12:52
Speaker 3: All right, Well, last leg of our run here. Now, Google, you think they're illegally recording your private conversations and in supplying your information to target advertisers. Essentially, do you think your phone is spying on you? You ever had that moment where you're talking about something and then I don't know, butterflies, and then twenty minutes later you pick up your phone, you go on your Instagram with something, WHOA, why are there butterflies here? It's just a coincidence, I argue, But there are some like U Roes who believe absolutely that's your phone spying.
00:13:22
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent believe it. I will say things. I have specific instances where I am talking about something or discussing something, and all of a sudden I get a targeted at describing that very thing.
00:13:36
Speaker 2: I don't think it's coincidence.
00:13:37
Speaker 3: Well, the last thing you folks need is validation. But it seems like maybe you have some now because Google has just agreed to pay sixty eight million dollars to settle a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit claims Google's voice assistant illegally recorded users and then shared those conversations with advertisers.
00:13:55
Speaker 2: I knew it. By the way, Google is not admitting wrongdoing here.
00:13:58
Speaker 1: They're just avoiding a lane the probably much more costly lawsuits. So please know that they are not saying, yeah, that happened. In fact, they say that it only happens when registers. It only registers people's speech. They didn't even say recorded. It only registers people's speech when you say, first, hey Google. But this lawsuit claims their devices recorded them when they didn't say hey Google. But some of the folks in this lawsuit said that Google recorded their conversations about financial issues, personal decisions, and employment and it was all then displayed in targeted advertisements. So the settlement still has to be approved by a federal judge. But once that happens, Google has agreed to place sixty eight million dollars in a fund to pay out all consumer claims, and apparently it will cover anyone who bought a device with Google on it since May eighteenth of twenty sixteen, and we won't get the way forward until this judge signs off on it. But I'm imagining, how about everybody just raises their hand and says me too, to get.
00:15:00
Speaker 2: Like everybody don't have sense.
00:15:02
Speaker 3: Everybody is eligible to be a part, So the fewer people sign on, the bigger my cut will be. Is that how I work?
00:15:07
Speaker 2: Correct?
00:15:08
Speaker 1: We shouldn't have even put this in the broadcast or in the podcast.
00:15:12
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry that last thing y'all heard.
00:15:14
Speaker 2: It was a real story. Oh yes, no, Oh, and I forgot. It's been so long.
00:15:19
Speaker 1: I have the quote of the day to day before we let y'all go, We do have this one. I had so many to choose from, but I found this one today and I really liked it, especially with everything that's going on in the news in Minneapolis and all the conflict we've seen. How about this validation is not the same as agreement, and knowing the difference will help you masterfully navigate almost any conflict you have.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: Okay, you're gonna have to help me with that. Validation is not the same as what agreement validation and agreement.
00:15:52
Speaker 1: Validation is not the same as agreement, agreement and knowing the difference will help you masterfully navigate any almost any conflict you have.
00:16:00
Speaker 2: Here is the explanation.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: A lot of us think that if you validate someone, you have to agree with their facts or you have to condone their behavior. But the argument is that validating an emotion behind someone's action without agreeing with the action is where the power lies in terms of compromise and moving forward and getting out of a conflict. So you can validate how someone feels without agreeing with their actions. And that may have been what we ended up seeing happen when you've got leaders who see the same thing in two different ways. But if you can at least validate how the other side may feel, even if you don't agree with the actions, that is how you get through conflict.
00:16:40
Speaker 2: I thought that was cool.
00:16:42
Speaker 3: Apply that to your relationships today, folks, Yeah, because it could help.
00:16:47
Speaker 2: It absolutely could help.
00:16:48
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to feel seen, all right, and without everyone. We always appreciate you running with us, especially on this Tuesday, this very chilly Tuesday.
