Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, thanks for joining us for today's Morning Run. It's Wednesday, September third. I'm Amy Robot and.
00:00:12
Speaker 2: I'm TJ Holmes. Starting my day off a little better than this one. Amy Robot getting the bad news. Amazon Prime is changing some things up on y'all, and you Prime users take this free shipping thing seriously.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not bad news for me, it's bad news for Yes, two girls named Ava and Annalise.
00:00:31
Speaker 2: Yes, you all will understand why. There are people who maybe on your Amazon Prime coattails right now that are going to have to get all who will explain the major change they are making. And of course when I say congratulations about somebody just getting engaged, her mine automatically goes to Taylor.
00:00:50
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, Taylor and Travis right, still riding on that high. Sorry forgot about it.
00:00:54
Speaker 2: Okay, we got another new high. We have a US senator. Yes, Cory Booker is engaged. Did you see the p I did? Very cool? They look very happy, very cool backdrop as well. It lays around the Hawaii right. Yeah, but we'll tell you about his announcement. But yes, Corey Booker is engaged. Also, I want to remind you as always that phone right now take a look Apple Podcasts app top right corner says follow. Just click that button. You can get our updates anytime. You don't have to go searching for them. Also, on the run this morning, we do want to give you the update about what happened in Houston. There are charges now in that deadly ding Dong ditch prank. Also, Trump gives another proof of life yesterday and in the meantime says he's sending the National Guard into another city. Also, we got all those Epstein files, thirty three two and ninety five pages. You know what's in it? Damn near nothing, nada. But we begain our run on this Wednesday with breaking news. The President's alive. Yes, the President is alive and well. He seems to be doing just fine. For anybody who had doubts or fed into the recent online frenzy that the President had died, there he was in the White House and all his glory, holding court with the presspool yesterday in true Trump fashion.
00:02:12
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's almost as if he took advantage of the situation, right, because the rumors really got going over the weekend with Trump dead trending on social media at one point, all fueled by the fact that the president didn't have any public events scheduled for several days. So he was asked about the rumors of his demise and responded by first taking a swipe at his predecessor, because why not, I didn't do any events for two days, and they said there must be something wrong with him. Biden wouldn't do him for months, You wouldn't see him, and nobody ever said there was anything wrong with him. Uh.
00:02:43
Speaker 2: The president then claimed that he had not been keeping up with the coverage, saying it's fake news. It's just so fake. And he added this, I was very active this Labor Day. Now I don't He kept saying, Oh, I haven't seen that. I haven't seen that, And then he commented, well, yeah, they were saying this and so saying that this guy is just he keeps up.
00:03:02
Speaker 1: Uh, there's no way he didn't see that, all right, But yes, the president's just next up on the run. We don't know when it is happening, but the president said it is happening. He said he will be sending the National Guard into Chicago, calling Chicago a hell hole right now. Trump signaled that he wants to use DC as the model to put troops on the streets of Chicago to help slow crime. Now.
00:03:24
Speaker 2: The President has been talking about this for a few weeks now and has been engaged in ongoing public spats with leaders in Chicago who say the Guard is not needed there. He was asked about it yesterday, the President responded, we're going in again. No specifics about when. I was surprised. The Governor of Illinois yesterday said his administration hasn't heard from a single person in the Trump administration. Trump said yesterday, if the Governor of Illinois would call me up, I would love to do it. We're gonna do it anyway. The thing is, it's amazing all this is going on, and the taministry is spoken, even spoken.
00:03:58
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, a judge spoken in California. Yes he ruled that it was illegal for President Trump to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles this summer. The judge said Trump violated can you are you better at Latin than I am? Possecommitatus Act?
00:04:14
Speaker 2: You just nailed it all right.
00:04:15
Speaker 1: That apparently limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters.
00:04:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, this comes just as Trump is trying to send the National Guard into other places like Chicago we just mentioned. And the White House didn't seem faced what soever by the judge's decision, so they put out a statement and first attacked the judge, saying, quote, a rogue judge is trying to usurp the authority of the Commander in chief to protect American cities from violence and destruction. The President is committed to protecting law abiding citizens and this will not be the final say on the issue. End quote. The ruling is on hold until September twelfth, and the Trump administration plans.
00:04:52
Speaker 1: To appeal meantime. This is my favorite part of the story. California Governor Gavin Newsom reacted to the ruling, saying the court sided with democracy and the constitution, which then elicited a response from the President, who said he may need to send troops back to la because the governor there is very weak and needs his help.
00:05:09
Speaker 2: I would prefer this sounds off. Just set a boxing match. Just set a fight between the two of them, Just get it over with, and whoever loses has to shut up. How about that? There's an idea, all right? Next up on the run. Now it is done, folks. Let this be the end of it. The Epstein files are out. They have been released, and a damn thing new in there. According to Democrats and Republicans rolled this was supposed to be a big deal because these are the documents that the Justice Department said they were not going to release. But now they're out. All right, I mean it will never be over, but everybody, yes, we said on the House Committee Oversight Committee website. You can go to that website, go to press releases, and if you want to do some reading, it is all there for you right now. Continuing on the run, Now, congratulations to Senator Corey Booker. This guy's life and his dating life has been fodder for some but of interest because he stayed very very private over the years. He's fifty six, has never been married. But Corey Booker is engaged now. The New Jersey Democrat made the announcement on social media, which included several photos of the proposal, the ring and yes, his fiance Alexis Lewis. We'll stay with us, ear folks on this It's Wednesday, on this Wednesday Morning Run. We do have an awful story out of Houston. We do have an update on We saw this coming, but yes, charges filed in the death of a child there who was playing a prank. And you Amazon Prime users are going to be getting calls from your second cousins and your kids and all those people you let piggyback off your account.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: Before we go to break, I have to tell you about new leggings I've been living in lately. They're from this brand called Tona, and fun fact here, they were actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon. So from that alone, you already know they're going to be pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin. They're super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've been wearing them on my warning runs and they've quickly become my everyday lounging leggings too. And here's what makes them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a mental health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's on a mission to end teen suicide and self harm, which we think is so important and incredible. So we've partnered with Tona to give you twenty percent off your order and free shipping. Head to Tonaactive dot com and use code iHeart for twenty percent off and free shipping.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: Continuing on this Wednesday morning run, Now we head to Houston, where police have charged a forty two year old man with murder after they say he shot and killed an eleven year old boar Julian Guzman for playing a childhood prank. Police say Gonzala Lyon Junior opened fire on Guzman as he was running away from the house after ringing his doorbell. Now, the suspect here Leon, has a second quarter appearance later today where prosecutors will ask the judge to said bond at a million dollars. Prosecutors say they are considering seeking a capital murder charge against him. Given the age of Guzman eleven, those are tough deep What is the point?
00:08:42
Speaker 1: That's just his rage? It sounds like.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: Rage is the word. Whoever's running away from you, if they're eleven or they're forty one, they're not a threat. No, twenty feet away and running away from you that is.
00:08:51
Speaker 1: And police say when they raided his home they found a cache of guns. So yes, this is he's facing potentially capital murder. Yeah.
00:09:00
Speaker 2: Uh, final leg of the run here all right? Amazon is cracking down on a prime perk for its prime users. Soon you will no longer be able to share free shipping benefits with one person outside of your home. It was called the Prime Invitee program and it's ending October first. They're essentially just trying to cut down on people. I mean, like Netflix was doing and all these other too much sharing. Now get your own account, all right, folks, before we let you go on this Wednesday, something we would like for you to consider it is our quote of the day.
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right.
00:09:42
Speaker 2: I encourage I've done this, and practice this anytime you find yourself saying something could go wrong. Right, we're going to the airport today, Oh my goodness, it's raining. There's the flight going to be delayed. Da every negative thing you have, just counter it. If instead of thinking about what could go wrong, what could go right? Man, maybe we'd get a great uber today. What if a flight's a little early. What if nobody's sitting across the aisle from us? What if our flight attendant is just a wonderful lady from the south right?
00:10:11
Speaker 1: All everything right, It's so much better to go in with that attitude. Even when things start going wrong, something has to go right in the process, So focus on that. I love it, so stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: We're going to follow up the moro and I sayd YEA. Our flight was canceled. I'm kidding, everything's going to go right. And with that, folks, hope everything goes as right as it can for you and your day, but we always appreciate you running with us.
