Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, and thanks for joining us on this Wednesday Morning run. It is Wednesday, May sixth. Then I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes, and we need to get right to a couple of stories here. A lot going on with that cruise ship that floating Nightmares is being called off the coast of West Africa. We got some fast moving updates there, but we do want to update you about what's going on in the war with Iran, and that was a pretty big about faced by the President yesterday. So yeah, remember we told you earlier this week about the new US mission to guy ships through the Strait of hor moves. Well, never mind, that's right, because just one day after putting Project Freedom in place, President Trump announced yesterday he is pausing that very operation. The President claimed on truth Social that Pakistan and other unnamed countries requested that he pause the operation, saying that great progress has been made toward a five agreement.
00:01:00
Speaker 2: It said the palls would last for a short period of time to see whether or not the agreement can be finalized. So that is where we are right now, where you and all Americans are right now is four dolls and fifty three since a gallon gas that shot up about a nickel robes overnight. Oil prices did fall a little bit yesterday upon news hearing that maybe the idea of a final agreement was coming, but but gas is still ticking up, up, up up.
00:01:30
Speaker 3: Yes, that is unfortunate.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: And also some scary news just developing news just coming out this morning from another remote area in the Atlantic, the Haunt of Virus cruise ship that's been floating off the coast of West Africa.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has no place to go.
00:01:46
Speaker 1: Spain had said late yesterday that it would welcome the ship and its passengers and its crew, that it was its humanitarian and moral obligation to do so.
00:01:56
Speaker 3: Until the Canary Islands heard that.
00:01:58
Speaker 1: That's where Spain wants those passengers to disembark in Canary Islands is saying, yeah, I don't think so. You cannot guarantee the safety of our community. Therefore, we do not want this ship to dock here, and they have called an emergency meeting with Spain's Prime minister to stop that from happening.
00:02:17
Speaker 2: So that is where we are once again. This ship has nowhere to go. We're talking about one hundred and fifty passengers roughly. That does not include the crew. The latest and we try to get the latest on these numbers rogues, because they have changed in literally in the past few minutes before we started recording. How many total conferm or at least suspect it infected? Now at eight okay, eight, three are dead. Three are dead, correct, all right, One is being treated in Switzerland, correct, Another is being treated in Johannesburg.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Correct, And three have just been airlifted.
00:02:51
Speaker 2: Okay, folks, that's the very latest. But the fear now, and what has come out is that a couple of these folks who were on this cruise ship actually got on commercial planes and took off in whatever directions we know of. At least two of those instances robes. But this is the great fear, the contact tracing you have to do for a plane full of people who might have come in contact with a virus that there's no cure for and kills forty percent of the people it infects.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: And a specific virus that can now be transmitted human to human. And so the woman who died in Johannesburg got off a plane from Helena Islands or Saint Helena, I believe is what it's called to Johannesburg collapsed in the airport and then died at the hospital she had. They have confirmed now this Andy's strain of the virus. Same with the man in Switzerland.
00:03:45
Speaker 2: And again this is the scary one that is passed by human to human. It was only thought or overwhelmingly robes. It comes from rat droppings. You can inhale really the fumes even they say from them. But human human is terrifying.
00:03:59
Speaker 1: Yes, so we will keep on that. We also have a full episode before this one. If you want to get all the details, we have them for you in this rapidly developing story. Next up on the run, though, President Trump taking a victory lap this morning after getting some sweet revenge against a number of Republicans who defied him. At least five Republican incumbents in the Indiana Senate who opposed redistricting lost their primary races last night.
00:04:25
Speaker 2: He was very loud and very proud and promising, if you don't support me on this redistricting, I am going to support anybody in the primaries he's running against you, And he sure enough did that. The legislature there rejected a plan to redraw the congressional map, a move that could have given Republicans an additional seat. All this roles was over one seat.
00:04:44
Speaker 1: My goodness, Well, I guess he can take a victory lap on this one.
00:04:49
Speaker 2: Oh you should see his truth social it is played confetti and with you should see his his picture with the picture of the winner. It's so many. Oh yeah, he is.
00:05:00
Speaker 3: Loving true form of Trump. Yes, all right.
00:05:03
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, we have an update on the search for an American woman who went missing during that boat ride with her husband last month in the Bahamas. We covered this extensively. We're talking about Lynette Hooker. She reportedly fell off a dinghy and her husband, Brian Hooker, was briefly detained by police. He claimed she fell into the water, but police and certainly some members of her family believe otherwise.
00:05:28
Speaker 2: What was his story. She swam in another direction, They got separated.
00:05:32
Speaker 3: Towards their sailboat.
00:05:33
Speaker 2: He didn't have the key.
00:05:34
Speaker 1: He didn't have the keys. She had them with him, and he had to paddle with one ard to shore. But why he didn't go and heard her. There are a lot of questions.
00:05:43
Speaker 2: That is his story. He's sticking to it. But authorities are now trying to track down the owners of a sailboat that was parked next to there the Hooker's sailboat on the same day Lynette disappears, So investigators say the owners of the other boat might have information relevant to this case. Rome's I know, we haven't been covering a lot of time. The headlines a lot and Brian Hooker left the island and whatnot. This they have maintained this is an active investigation. They're still looking for her.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Look, just remember he sat down and did an interview and said he was going to stay in the Bahamas for as long as it took to find his wife, Mama. He left hours after the interview and has never returned.
00:06:18
Speaker 2: Mamma got sick, he says, Mamma got sick.
00:06:21
Speaker 3: He said that you are correct, all right. Next up on the Run, the Trump.
00:06:26
Speaker 1: Administration is suing The New York Times for discrimination against a white man. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is claiming that the paper is in violation of federal law for not giving a white male employee a.
00:06:39
Speaker 2: Promotion My favorite story of the day. The Commission describes him as a longtime editor who wasn't considered a finalist for an open editorial gig. The Times called the suit politically motivated, and you can understand why. How many times is the president suit New York Times. I've lost counts, okay, And he certainly mentions them what feels like daily, certainly weekly in some way disparaging way. So this feels like to them at least retaliation. So they're using this white guy to make a point with The New York Times. And by the way, we should mention who got the gig?
00:07:15
Speaker 3: A white woman?
00:07:16
Speaker 2: Yes, all right?
00:07:18
Speaker 1: Next up on the run today is Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Stern to testify before the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: This should be interesting.
00:07:29
Speaker 2: This is going to be behind closed doors, so we'll only get pictures from what's her name, So, yes, it's gonna be a closed door.
00:07:37
Speaker 3: He did he's doing this, sorry from Colorado. I get those two confused.
00:07:44
Speaker 2: My apologies, but yes, this is going to be behind closed doors. Assume the transcript will come out. He is doing this voluntarily, but there were some discrepancy robes and what came out in the Epstein files and what he has been saying for years about his relationship with Epstein. At how long it went and he went to the island. This is one guy who actually went to the island. Think he took his family there.
00:08:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a personal and professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein that should in fact be explored. If other people are gonna be called, like Hillary Clinton, who's never met the man, let's at least bring up to questioning Howard Lutnick, who has spent like extensive time with him.
00:08:20
Speaker 2: You make a good point. She did she say she.
00:08:23
Speaker 3: Actually never met him as far as she knew.
00:08:25
Speaker 2: Damn, that's remarkable. All right, stay with us here on this. And we didn't mention. I think if you all have been following, you know we are on the road this week, so you might well, we have been on the road of the past week, I should say, but we are wrapping up a trip here to our Caribbean bureau. It sounds crazy to say that, but if you hear seagulls and win and yes, some waves crashing, that's what that is.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: Yes, we hope it adds to your enjoyment. If this is not always so great news that we deliver each and every morning.
00:08:51
Speaker 2: You make a very good point. Well, stay with us. I got some more not really so great news, and it's for people who like it to fly great. It's the last thing we need. Stay here, all right, We continue here on this Wednesday morning, Ron with NFL star and Cardi b X Stefan Diggs. He was found not guilty on charges that he assaulted his former chef. This was Jamilla Adams, who had worked for him as a live in chef. She had claimed the former New England Patriots receiver choked and slapped her. But even the prosecutors admitted and Robes, you came in yesterday, I had this plane. This was some of the most incredible hostile combative testimony I have ever seen in the trial.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: Yes, even the prosecutor admitted what you had been saying the whole time as we were watching it. She was a terrible witness. She was angry, She kept saying stuff she knew she wasn't supposed to. She was not a prosecutor's star witness, like not anyone that anyon some one would choose to be the person who is booing up your claims, right.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: They actually the prosecutor said it to the jury. I know she wasn't a great win, but that doesn't mean she's not telling the truth. Even though she was, like Pointer tried she was. I have not seen a judge have to scold a witness that much, and the victim.
00:10:21
Speaker 1: She wasn't just a witness, she was the alleged victim. She was argumentative, she was combative. She had to be scolded. And I didn't realize she discussed a sexual relationship that those two were having.
00:10:31
Speaker 4: So she was more than just to live in chef A chef with benefits, I guess chef with benefits. All right, Finally here on the run, Rose been going great, right. Airfares been going up.
00:10:43
Speaker 2: Remember recently we still have those long TSA lines burned in our memory. Spirit just went out of business overnight. Planes are getting hit as they land, Trucks are getting hit by planes as they land. All this going on robes, Well, how much worse can they get for us travelers?
00:11:01
Speaker 1: Well, Delta, and this has been one of our favorite airlines. We've been very very overt about that. Delta is ending food and beverage services on many of its shorter flights. So if here's their new role rule, If the flight is three hundred and fifty miles or less. You better pack something with you or make that stop at a shop or a store before you board the plane. Because they aren't going to provide any food or any drinks.
00:11:30
Speaker 2: Oh you're not even getting drinks like water. They're not even coming down the aisle with water for you.
00:11:34
Speaker 3: That's time you're getting out.
00:11:35
Speaker 2: That might leave a bottle. There is no food or drink service. Now first class folks per usual gonna be fine. You still get the full service. But h exist, they're eliminating. I didn't realize so many other airlines, because we only fly the same ones, have done this, but those are usually two hundred miles two hundred and fifty mile.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Can you get it for a feet uh huh, that's terrible.
00:11:57
Speaker 2: Just gonna give you.
00:11:58
Speaker 3: Service like it's one thing.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: If like, yes, you have to spend ten dollars for a diet coke, okay or whatever it is, I'm sure people would do that. You can't even it's not even an option. You've got to pack your own stuff.
00:12:10
Speaker 2: I don't. I guess it's to be I guess that they couldn't costs everywhere they can, but so anybody who flies New York to DC, New York to Boston. I think Cleveland to Chicago even is in that three hundred and fifty mile Wow. Mark, So it's going to mess up. But you need a heads up on that.
00:12:27
Speaker 3: And it starts May nineteen, and it is.
00:12:29
Speaker 2: Our favorite airline. We've been vocal about that. We love us some Delta. It's an Atlanta thing, of course, but this is going to.
00:12:35
Speaker 1: Change the experience for a lot of folks. All right, that is a heads up and something we need to know before. We got to pack more than your patients. Now, you got to pack some liquids that you can't bring through security, so you'll have to purchase them once they get to the airport, which are like at least ten.
00:12:50
Speaker 3: Times higher than they would be if you just brought it from home.
00:12:53
Speaker 2: Wow, you made a bad story.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Worse Okay, Wow, Sorry, let's you know what, Let's lift things back up. Our quote of the day. There is here is a backstory to this quest out of the day. Ava was up early this morning and she she likes, yes, sorry, my daughter Ava like she's twenty three. She likes to send me tiktoks. I usually don't watch a lot of them, but this one I watched and I loved this woman. She was an older black woman, a physician. I think she looked like she was in her sixties, lived enough life that what she had to say was impactful. I want to get her on the podcast. But she's amazing.
00:13:25
Speaker 3: All right. Here was her quote.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: The most powerful skill you can develop in life is to figure out how to stay in a good mood. I want you to say this to yourself. I am the thermostat, not the thermometer. Thermostats set the tone and the temperature. Thermometers react to what everybody else is doing in the room.
00:13:48
Speaker 3: I loved how she put that.
00:13:50
Speaker 2: Which one are you?
00:13:53
Speaker 1: I have been the thermometer plenty of times of my life. I think most of us start out that way, and I am trying to become the thermostat.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: I'm working on it.
00:14:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is a good thing to remind yourself. I liked that way of shaping it, framing it.
00:14:07
Speaker 2: I'm a terrible thermostat.
00:14:09
Speaker 3: You're a thermometer. Wait, which is which you want to be the thermostat?
00:14:13
Speaker 2: No, which is which the thermometer?
00:14:15
Speaker 3: The thermostat sets the temperature.
00:14:17
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a terrible thermostat.
00:14:20
Speaker 1: I am.
00:14:21
Speaker 2: How many times have I had to be reminded of this that I walk into a room and I can change. You set the mood energy of that room.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: You set the tone, you set the temperature, and you set everything both ways. I have been accused of let's work on being a good thermostat, but I just thought this was so cool. The most powerful skill you can develop is to figure out how to stay in a good mood. Say this to yourself. I am the thermostat, not the thermometer. I love that anyway. Her name is wait. I wanted to get her name. Did I get it?
00:14:55
Speaker 3: Uh? Doctor Troy Lee.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: This particular post got two million likes and count already, so people. It resonated with folks, and it makes sense. We can do better and we can set the tone at least for ourselves and hopefully for the others around us. And with that, everyone, thank you for joining us on this Wednesday hump Day.
00:15:15
Speaker 2: I made me robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Run soon.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good morning everyone, and thanks for joining us on this Wednesday Morning run. It is Wednesday, May sixth.

Speaker 2: Remember recently we still have those long TSA lines burned in our memory. Spirit just went out of business overnight. Planes are getting hit as they land, Trucks are getting hit by planes as they land. All this going on robes, Well, how much worse can they get for us travelers?
00:11:01
Speaker 1: Well, Delta, and this has been one of our favorite airlines. We've been very very overt about that. Delta is ending food and beverage services on many of its shorter flights. So if here's their new role rule, If the flight is three hundred and fifty miles or less. You better pack something with you or make that stop at a shop or a store before you board the plane. Because they aren't going to provide any food or any drinks.
00:11:30
Speaker 2: Oh you're not even getting drinks like water. They're not even coming down the aisle with water for you.
00:11:34
Speaker 3: That's time you're getting out.
00:11:35
Speaker 2: That might leave a bottle. There is no food or drink service. Now first class folks per usual gonna be fine. You still get the full service. But h exist, they're eliminating. I didn't realize so many other airlines, because we only fly the same ones, have done this, but those are usually two hundred miles two hundred and fifty mile.
00:11:53
Speaker 1: Can you get it for a feet uh huh, that's terrible.
00:11:57
Speaker 2: Just gonna give you.
00:11:58
Speaker 3: Service like it's one thing.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: If like, yes, you have to spend ten dollars for a diet coke, okay or whatever it is, I'm sure people would do that. You can't even it's not even an option. You've got to pack your own stuff.
00:12:10
Speaker 2: I don't. I guess it's to be I guess that they couldn't costs everywhere they can, but so anybody who flies New York to DC, New York to Boston. I think Cleveland to Chicago even is in that three hundred and fifty mile Wow. Mark, So it's going to mess up. But you need a heads up on that.
00:12:27
Speaker 3: And it starts May nineteen, and it is.
00:12:29
Speaker 2: Our favorite airline. We've been vocal about that. We love us some Delta. It's an Atlanta thing, of course, but this is going to.
00:12:35
Speaker 1: Change the experience for a lot of folks. All right, that is a heads up and something we need to know before. We got to pack more than your patients. Now, you got to pack some liquids that you can't bring through security, so you'll have to purchase them once they get to the airport, which are like at least ten.
00:12:50
Speaker 3: Times higher than they would be if you just brought it from home.
00:12:53
Speaker 2: Wow, you made a bad story.
00:12:54
Speaker 1: Worse Okay, Wow, Sorry, let's you know what, Let's lift things back up. Our quote of the day. There is here is a backstory to this quest out of the day. Ava was up early this morning and she she likes, yes, sorry, my daughter Ava like she's twenty three. She likes to send me tiktoks. I usually don't watch a lot of them, but this one I watched and I loved this woman. She was an older black woman, a physician. I think she looked like she was in her sixties, lived enough life that what she had to say was impactful. I want to get her on the podcast. But she's amazing.
00:13:25
Speaker 3: All right. Here was her quote.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: The most powerful skill you can develop in life is to figure out how to stay in a good mood. I want you to say this to yourself. I am the thermostat, not the thermometer. Thermostats set the tone and the temperature. Thermometers react to what everybody else is doing in the room.
00:13:48
Speaker 3: I loved how she put that.
00:13:50
Speaker 2: Which one are you?
00:13:53
Speaker 1: I have been the thermometer plenty of times of my life. I think most of us start out that way, and I am trying to become the thermostat.
00:13:59
Speaker 3: I'm working on it.
00:14:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is a good thing to remind yourself. I liked that way of shaping it, framing it.
00:14:07
Speaker 2: I'm a terrible thermostat.
00:14:09
Speaker 3: You're a thermometer. Wait, which is which you want to be the thermostat?
00:14:13
Speaker 2: No, which is which the thermometer?
00:14:15
Speaker 3: The thermostat sets the temperature.
00:14:17
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a terrible thermostat.
00:14:20
Speaker 1: I am.
00:14:21
Speaker 2: How many times have I had to be reminded of this that I walk into a room and I can change. You set the mood energy of that room.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: You set the tone, you set the temperature, and you set everything both ways. I have been accused of let's work on being a good thermostat, but I just thought this was so cool. The most powerful skill you can develop is to figure out how to stay in a good mood. Say this to yourself. I am the thermostat, not the thermometer. I love that anyway. Her name is wait. I wanted to get her name. Did I get it?
00:14:55
Speaker 3: Uh? Doctor Troy Lee.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: This particular post got two million likes and count already, so people. It resonated with folks, and it makes sense. We can do better and we can set the tone at least for ourselves and hopefully for the others around us. And with that, everyone, thank you for joining us on this Wednesday hump Day.
00:15:15
Speaker 2: I made me robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Run soon.
