Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is for Ride Day, March sixth.
00:00:11
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ Holmes.
00:00:13
Speaker 3: You're looking forward to it or not losing the hour this weekend daylight saving? Right, we're fringing forward.
00:00:20
Speaker 1: Yes, so we lose an hour of sleep, but it is the price you pay for more sunshine and I will take it all right.
00:00:26
Speaker 3: But as a reminder, folks, it's on Saturday night. You'll get up on Sunday morning. Round two am is when the clocks adjust. But yes, this I love it. There's a debate twice a year should we keep it? Should we not? Congress has been trying to get rid of it at time. Does it ever once in a while there's a movement. It never happens. I like it. I just like making the adjustment. It's a part of life. I'm used to it, so.
00:00:48
Speaker 2: I don't you know what It's funny.
00:00:50
Speaker 1: I used to say that I hated it, but I hear that because I do appreciate the change. It's a signal spring is coming out to get warmer, and somehow it just it marks the occasion it's mental.
00:01:05
Speaker 3: It's not physical. It does something to you physically, but mentally it also flips a switch. It's time something else.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if it's true, And if we didn't have this day, I never looked at it like that. If we didn't have this day to make that adjustment it is, we wouldn't have that excitement of it.
00:01:21
Speaker 2: Smell spring in the air. It's about to come, especially for those of us who have been frozen for the past two months.
00:01:27
Speaker 3: And the timing for us here in the Northeast just happens to workout. Daylight Saving we hit it on Sunday and on Monday and Tuesday might quite literally be the warmest days this year in New York.
00:01:39
Speaker 1: Oh, they will be, for sure. And we're hearing on Wednesday we're flirting with the seven in front. So it is something where, especially when you've gone through an exceptionally difficult winter, which I would say we have and a lot of folks have, this is extra special.
00:01:54
Speaker 3: So folks, happy daylight Saving to you. But yet is happening this weekend. Always good to have you with us on a run this Friday morning run. And on this run we'll be making stops in DC out in Utah, out in LA, make a stop down in Texas, stops in the Middle East, and will have to make a stop on Wall Street as well.
00:02:13
Speaker 1: That's right, But we begin our run with an overnight development. The Department of Justice has published those missing Epstein documents, specifically the three missing interviews from twenty nineteen, where a woman claims President Trump sexually abused her when she was just thirteen years old.
00:02:30
Speaker 3: Must be said that President Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and he has never been charged, and we should say he has never been accused of a crime at least related to these Epstein files. So the DJ says the files were erroneously labeled as duplicates and that's why they didn't come out the first time. Fine, the allegations are actually pretty graphic. They include conversations the woman claims she heard between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. She also detailed decades of blackmails, threats, and surveiling by Epstein and his associates.
00:03:03
Speaker 1: And we also want to point out that the White House has previously stated that many of the Epstein files released include quote untrue and sensationalist claims, and that the President has been totally exonerated.
00:03:15
Speaker 2: We actually have.
00:03:16
Speaker 1: A full episode on the newly released files where we read through some of the more damning excerpts, and that episode is just before this one.
00:03:26
Speaker 2: So if you are intrigued and would like to hear more, please check that episode out.
00:03:31
Speaker 3: It should come with a warning. Some of the stuff is pretty heinous, pretty graphic to hear, but just a heads up there if you want to check it out. Continuing on the run here now, US and Israel keeping up airstrikes on Iran, many of those strikes hitting deeper and deeper into that country. Iran continues though, to strike back where it can, but according to the US, there are far fewer missiles coming out of Iran these days.
00:03:52
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, President Trump yesterday said he wants to have a say in who will be the next leader of Iran, which right now is TBD. Next step on the run, though, the House voted down a measure yesterday that would have limited President Trump's war powers. That's a day after the Senate rejected a similar measure.
00:04:11
Speaker 3: Is two Republicans joined with Democrats in this vote. It ended up two twenty one to two nineteen, so by both chambers now not giving the president or limiting his war powers. They have now tacitly given him the approval. Yes to go to war, is the argument. Now. Continuing on the run. Now, another concerning day on Wall Street. The Dow dropped nearly eight hundred points, and you can imagine why it's been a rough week. We make concerns about this war with iron.
00:04:40
Speaker 2: That's right.
00:04:40
Speaker 1: The Dow is actually on pace to have its worst week of the year and its second straight negative week of the year. Oil prices are now also the highest nearly two years. And yes, you know that directly impacts your price at the pump. Gas prices are already up thirty two cents just this past week.
00:04:58
Speaker 2: That is a significant.
00:05:00
Speaker 3: This is going to trickle into other areas of energy for folks, So keep an eye on your bills, folks. Continuing on the run here now, big news yesterday, this was big breaking news. Was this surprise? I don't know after this came out rope. You know the picture that was in my head, that cabinet meeting in which she was sitting in the corner, poor little Christine Ome wasn't allowed to speak, you know, the one I'm talking about it? I do you know the image. But the news came yesterday that President Trump was removing Christine Ome from her position as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:05:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. All the headlines up until the moment where we heard that he was in fact removing her from that position were embattled Secretary Homeland Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noman. Yes, he's already announced the new person he would like to take her place, Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma. He will have to go through a Senate confirmation hearing to officially get the job of President Trump would like him to take the reins on March thirty first, so pretty quickly here in the next couple of weeks. Democrats are saying, okay, great, we wanted to know them out, but that's not going to be enough for us to go ahead and fund said Department of Homeland Security. We want policy changes, not just the head of the organization change. We want policy change.
00:06:11
Speaker 3: I didn't like the Democratic response you pointed out the one the governor of.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: The Illinois OYE.
00:06:18
Speaker 3: Fine, I know you all are happy she's gone. Some of the nanny nanni boob.
00:06:22
Speaker 2: Don't let the door hit you.
00:06:24
Speaker 3: What are we do? This is just what we need. It's not funny, it's mean. I know you hate the woman, you might literally hate the woman. You gotta be bigger in our debate. We reduce it to child games. Nah, don't let some of the tone the rip from a newsom like she had died.
00:06:41
Speaker 1: You know what, I think it is despicable. And we have to point out when this happens on both sides of the aisle, and to go low like that, to go further low, what are we teaching our kids? And also, look, you want to say you're a nice person and a good person. It's easy to be kind to people who are like minded, it's easy to be respectful to people who you agree with. What you are called to do as a decent human being is to extend that to.
00:07:04
Speaker 2: People you disagree with as well.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: And that we're not seeing that at all ever, by anyone on either side of the aisle. And it's so so sad because our children are watching this trickles down.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: This is trickles down.
00:07:18
Speaker 3: It's okay. The president can talk like this, the governor of California can talk like this, The governor of this date this fine, Then this is acceptable behavior. Is what we're teaching. We're gonna head down to Texas where some unacceptable behavior was going on that has now resulted in Congressman Tony Gonzales dropping out of the race. Yes, this embattled another embattled politician here. He dropped his reelection bid just days after admitting to an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. This was the young lady we died by setting herself on fire.
00:07:49
Speaker 1: She had a husband, she had a young child. The Republican Tony Gonzalez had long denied this affair until this week, and notably after his primary where he was forced into a runoff. Look, he had been getting calls for his resignation from some folks, but when Speaker Johnson yesterday joined those calls, that might have been the tipping point for him, and he did decide to drop his reelection bit.
00:08:14
Speaker 3: Sorr. I want to continue on this Friday morning run. Now we need to head out to Utah. Police yesterday arrested a man in that triple homicide there and now say twenty two year old Ivan Miller has confessed to the crime. We were getting this from some court documents and robes were we struggled with this story. And that just the randomness of it. He didn't know these women, There was no connection in some of the court documents. Now Robes, what quote, what does that mean? It had to be done. They're saying he's confessed, but we're not getting any good answers to why he did this.
00:08:48
Speaker 1: You know, we said this, We had a whole episode on this yesterday. Well, yeah, he's claiming he did it, so I think it's probably fair to say that by his own admission. But look, everyone always wants the why, and it's almost never satisfactory, and this one certainly is among them. And we did get, unfortunately, the details about how these three women died. He claims, or at least according to core documents, he shot them all. He ended up stabbing one of the women on that hiking trail because he said he saw her moving still. And he claims he did this all because he needed money and he didn't like the vehicle he stole initially from the eighty six year old woman Margaret Oldroyd, who he apparently he spent the night in her shed and then killed her the next day, took her vehicle, didn't like her Buick, and so wanted to find a better vehicle and because of that, he claims he killed sixty five year old Linda Dewey and thirty four year old Natalie Graves, who were hiking together. They were friends together. Their husbands, unfortunately, are the ones who found their bodies.
00:09:45
Speaker 2: This is just a horrific, horrific.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: Story without any satisfactory answers. He's going to be in court this afternoon schedule too.
00:09:53
Speaker 3: He has to make an appearance. I'm not sure when he'll give back to Utah again. He was found in Colorado, so they have to get them back to you at some point. We have to tear it to another awful story here. Unfortunately, out of Cleveland. We did hear this story earlier this week where the bodies of two young girls were found in separate suitcases that were buried in shallow graves. It happened there in the Cleveland area this week. Rod Now the it's tough to think that a story like that could get worse, and for whatever reason, it did.
00:10:24
Speaker 1: Yes, because the person they arrested for the murders of these two young girls their own mother, twenty eight year old Aliah Henderson. She's now been charged with two counts of aggravated murder. The girls, Miela and a Moore were just eight and ten years old. A horrible story and now their mother is behind bars for their murder.
00:10:46
Speaker 3: All Right, stay with us here, folks on this Friday Morning Ron. When we come back, we'll have an update on Britney Spears. You might have seen the headlines that she was arrested. We'll tell you what's going on there and including the statement we were hearing from her representative and also Savannah Guthrie back in the Today Show studio. All right, we continue on this Friday morning run with Britney Spears arrested in la on suspicion of dui. This week. She was booked and released after police say they got a call about somebody who was driving a black BMW speeding and driving erratically as well. This was around nine o'clock on Wednesday night.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: Yes, and so after her arrests, there was a statement released on behalf of Britney Spears by her people. And you know what, look, sometimes it takes rock bottom or something like this for a change to happen. And that's the hopeful part of this, the silver lining that no one was injured and that maybe Brittany will be getting help because this was the statement release. This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Brittany is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney's life. Hopefully she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.
00:12:11
Speaker 3: Hart goes out to that, you know, I just I don't know, you can. I just she's been through it. This is taping. You can obviously say, yeah, she's responsible and she's the one that did it, but yeah, people can make mistakes, but you could you could still sympathize and your heart will still go out. So luckily nobody was hurting that incident, including her. Who we want to come back here to New York now and this made me feel good? Or oh, Savannahu three has not been in that Today Show studio in a month? Forget TV. She just saysn't seen her colleagues, right in a month? I bet that felt good. We've seen the images that she was in the studio not on TV, but she at least was with her colleague.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: Gesture, yes, if you're familiar at all with Studio one A right there in Rockefeller Center. There is a big glass window everyone can look in, and some photographers captured some video in some moments, and it was sweet, Look, this is a family. I actually recognize some of the floor directors and the folks for any of us who.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: Have worked in Studio one A.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: Just to see that family spirit there, the hugs, the you could just tell the kind words that were being exchanged.
00:13:13
Speaker 2: You could just see it. It was heartwarming.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: And knowing that this is the first time she's seen the people who she has been with every day for the last several several years. Now they are giving her actual physical support for what she's been going through. We don't know when she'll be back on the air. They did announce it is happening. They haven't set a date yet, but to know she's back at home in New York with her kids too. I thought about that she has young kids and to be separated from them. I'm sure they had to continue to go to school. So she was trying to, I'm sure, balance being worried about her mom and keeping the focus on that story while also being a mom to her own children. So We certainly wish her well and we'll keep you updated on that, but we would like to leave you on this Friday, with all the chaos in the world, with our quote of the day.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: I hope this one. I hope this one lands.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: That's not a good setup. Oh you do not set us up well. It sounds like it's gonna u disappointment.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, it's not.
00:14:09
Speaker 1: I think I do think this is going to resonate with a lot of folks who are feeling chaos and feeling out of control and l.
00:14:17
Speaker 2: Glor expectations like it. I do that.
00:14:21
Speaker 1: Sometimes, or sometimes when I give someone a gift, I tell them where they can exchange it before they even know.
00:14:25
Speaker 3: I hate that.
00:14:25
Speaker 2: That's me. Okay, I'm working on it.
00:14:27
Speaker 3: Okay, So here we go, folks. You might like it, you might not.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Peace is not built when life becomes quiet. It is built when you stop reacting to every noise.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's chaos out there. It's always chaos. You find your peace. When you find your peace, you find your happiness. Yes, yeah, when it's quiet, that's easy. Oh my goodness, do it. To see chaos all around and to have your camp man, there is nothing more confident than that. You figure like, wow, I figured something out because everybody around me is going eight ish.
00:14:58
Speaker 2: It's so true.
00:14:59
Speaker 3: And actually it's a song by the way that no just apes have been in the.
00:15:04
Speaker 2: News like oh wow, yeah, yeah, okay, that's fair. That is a good poing. But I do think that it's one of those.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: It does feel empowering when when you and I've heard I've said like, oh, when things quiet down tomorrow, when things are a little bit, you know, calmer, I'll be able to do X, Y and Z. No, it's actually almost never. It never gets to that next day, you know, where it's calmer and there aren't any problems and there's nothing to deal with. That day never comes. So peace is not built when life becomes quiet. It is built when you stop reacting to every noise. I like that as a homework assignment, like when you when you start to see the noise, I'm choosing right now to not react and that is an awesome feeling. And without everyone, we hope you have a peaceful, beautiful weekend.
00:15:52

00:01:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if it's true, And if we didn't have this day, I never looked at it like that. If we didn't have this day to make that adjustment it is, we wouldn't have that excitement of it.

00:03:31
Speaker 3: It should come with a warning. Some of the stuff is pretty heinous, pretty graphic to hear, but just a heads up there if you want to check it out.

And he claims he did this all because he needed money and he didn't like the vehicle he stole initially from the eighty six year old woman Margaret Oldroyd, who he apparently he spent the night in her shed and then killed her the next day, took her vehicle, didn't like her Buick, and so wanted to find a better vehicle and because of that, he claims he killed sixty five year old Linda Dewey and thirty four year old Natalie Graves, who were hiking together. They were friends together. Their husbands, unfortunately, are the ones who found their bodies.
00:09:45
Speaker 2: This is just a horrific, horrific.
00:09:47
Speaker 1: Story without any satisfactory answers. He's going to be in court this afternoon schedule too.
00:09:53
Speaker 3: He has to make an appearance. I'm not sure when he'll give back to Utah again. He was found in Colorado, so they have to get them back to you at some point. We have to tear it to another awful story here. Unfortunately, out of Cleveland. We did hear this story earlier this week where the bodies of two young girls were found in separate suitcases that were buried in shallow graves. It happened there in the Cleveland area this week. Rod Now the it's tough to think that a story like that could get worse, and for whatever reason, it did.
00:10:24
Speaker 1: Yes, because the person they arrested for the murders of these two young girls their own mother, twenty eight year old Aliah Henderson. She's now been charged with two counts of aggravated murder. The girls, Miela and a Moore were just eight and ten years old. A horrible story and now their mother is behind bars for their murder.
00:10:46
Speaker 3: All Right, stay with us here, folks on this Friday Morning Ron. When we come back, we'll have an update on Britney Spears. You might have seen the headlines that she was arrested. We'll tell you what's going on there and including the statement we were hearing from her representative and also Savannah Guthrie back in the Today Show studio. All right, we continue on this Friday morning run with Britney Spears arrested in la on suspicion of dui. This week. She was booked and released after police say they got a call about somebody who was driving a black BMW speeding and driving erratically as well. This was around nine o'clock on Wednesday night.
00:11:30
Speaker 1: Yes, and so after her arrests, there was a statement released on behalf of Britney Spears by her people. And you know what, look, sometimes it takes rock bottom or something like this for a change to happen. And that's the hopeful part of this, the silver lining that no one was injured and that maybe Brittany will be getting help because this was the statement release. This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Brittany is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney's life. Hopefully she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.
00:12:11
Speaker 3: Hart goes out to that, you know, I just I don't know, you can. I just she's been through it. This is taping. You can obviously say, yeah, she's responsible and she's the one that did it, but yeah, people can make mistakes, but you could you could still sympathize and your heart will still go out. So luckily nobody was hurting that incident, including her. Who we want to come back here to New York now and this made me feel good? Or oh, Savannahu three has not been in that Today Show studio in a month? Forget TV. She just saysn't seen her colleagues, right in a month? I bet that felt good. We've seen the images that she was in the studio not on TV, but she at least was with her colleague.
00:12:47
Speaker 1: Gesture, yes, if you're familiar at all with Studio one A right there in Rockefeller Center. There is a big glass window everyone can look in, and some photographers captured some video in some moments, and it was sweet, Look, this is a family. I actually recognize some of the floor directors and the folks for any of us who.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: Have worked in Studio one A.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: Just to see that family spirit there, the hugs, the you could just tell the kind words that were being exchanged.
00:13:13
Speaker 2: You could just see it. It was heartwarming.
00:13:15
Speaker 1: And knowing that this is the first time she's seen the people who she has been with every day for the last several several years. Now they are giving her actual physical support for what she's been going through. We don't know when she'll be back on the air. They did announce it is happening. They haven't set a date yet, but to know she's back at home in New York with her kids too. I thought about that she has young kids and to be separated from them. I'm sure they had to continue to go to school. So she was trying to, I'm sure, balance being worried about her mom and keeping the focus on that story while also being a mom to her own children. So We certainly wish her well and we'll keep you updated on that, but we would like to leave you on this Friday, with all the chaos in the world, with our quote of the day.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: I hope this one. I hope this one lands.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: That's not a good setup. Oh you do not set us up well. It sounds like it's gonna u disappointment.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, it's not.
00:14:09
Speaker 1: I think I do think this is going to resonate with a lot of folks who are feeling chaos and feeling out of control and l.
00:14:17
Speaker 2: Glor expectations like it. I do that.
00:14:21
Speaker 1: Sometimes, or sometimes when I give someone a gift, I tell them where they can exchange it before they even know.
00:14:25
Speaker 3: I hate that.
00:14:25
Speaker 2: That's me. Okay, I'm working on it.
00:14:27
Speaker 3: Okay, So here we go, folks. You might like it, you might not.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: Peace is not built when life becomes quiet. It is built when you stop reacting to every noise.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's chaos out there. It's always chaos. You find your peace. When you find your peace, you find your happiness. Yes, yeah, when it's quiet, that's easy. Oh my goodness, do it. To see chaos all around and to have your camp man, there is nothing more confident than that. You figure like, wow, I figured something out because everybody around me is going eight ish.
00:14:58
Speaker 2: It's so true.
00:14:59
Speaker 3: And actually it's a song by the way that no just apes have been in the.
00:15:04
Speaker 2: News like oh wow, yeah, yeah, okay, that's fair. That is a good poing. But I do think that it's one of those.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: It does feel empowering when when you and I've heard I've said like, oh, when things quiet down tomorrow, when things are a little bit, you know, calmer, I'll be able to do X, Y and Z. No, it's actually almost never. It never gets to that next day, you know, where it's calmer and there aren't any problems and there's nothing to deal with. That day never comes. So peace is not built when life becomes quiet. It is built when you stop reacting to every noise. I like that as a homework assignment, like when you when you start to see the noise, I'm choosing right now to not react and that is an awesome feeling. And without everyone, we hope you have a peaceful, beautiful weekend.
