We're gonna make a stop on the Jersey Turnpike, make a stop at the box office Arcadia Lake in Oklahoma. Zoo across the country, the Atlantic, just off the coast of Africa and Church Hill Downs And like I said, a lot is going on around us as we speak. And you know what, they just noticed.

But yeah, our first stop this morning, Robes, needs to be at the gas station. Things there, well, things have taken a turn.
00:01:25
Speaker 3: For the worst.
00:01:26
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
00:01:27
Speaker 1: Yes, we are starting to see this question more and more about gas prices.
00:01:31
Speaker 2: Just how high could they actually go?
00:01:34
Speaker 1: They shot up thirty cents in the past week, and the national average now sits at four dollars and forty five cents a gallen. That is insane when you think about we were at two ninety eight before the war started as.
00:01:47
Speaker 4: An average, and yes, the worst of it rightly on the West coast right now California is up six cents plus Washington State.
00:01:56
Speaker 2: Seven dollars and seventeen cents.
00:01:57
Speaker 4: Here was that, Oh yeah, where we are Okay, that's not muddy the water is and concerned we are not in the United States, Okay, So different issues here, and you know, like the gas is always expensive here as we continue here on the run, So what have we done about the gas prices? The President is trying to do something about it, and his next trick, so to speak, is something he's calling Project Freedom. President Trump has announced that the United States is going to begin guiding ships through the Strait of horror moves in an attempt to get things flowing up and running again, to try to crank this economic engine that has grind it to a halt because of this all important waterway being shut down. Iran immediately called this Project Freedom a violation of the cease fire. And again, this new mission started today. It is in place as we speak, where toll robes, not exactly how sure how this is going to go. And it's supposed to get things flowing.
00:02:49
Speaker 1: And we'll have to see if it gets Iran going, just because they said this violates the seaspire, so that's concerning to see where it may lead.
00:02:57
Speaker 3: There's still a seaspire, though they're not shooting at each other.
00:02:59
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take it all right.
00:03:01
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in the hospital this morning, listed in critical condition. This is all according to Giuliani's spokesperson. There weren't any details released about what led to his hospitalization, but the eighty one year old spokesperson said this, The mayor is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he is fighting with that same strength. Now. He asks for prayers from folks just hoping for his recovery. But we have a full episode on this if you want to check it out. We go into all the details about what we know about Giuliani's condition and certainly the difficulty of his life at least in the past six years.
00:03:37
Speaker 4: All right, continuing on the run here now. At least twelve people were injured in a shooting in Oklahoma overnight. This is at a party near ar Katia Lake, which is just north of Oklahoma City. Authorready say twelve victims had various injuries and are in various conditions. They're not exactly sure how many to call shooting victims yet, but they do not have any arrest and ropes. They only said this was a party involving young people.
00:04:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a campgrounds or something to that effect, But it sounds like there aren't a lot of details known at this point. Well, of course, keep you updated on that story. But next up on the run, another troubling airplane incident at a US airport, this time a landing plane hit a light pole and a delivery truck traveling along the New Jersey Turnpike.
00:04:23
Speaker 2: That is so scary. This happened on Sunday.
00:04:26
Speaker 4: It's some of these incidents like it doesn't even matter if you're on the plane. You got to watch out for the planes. Yes landing now and one driver, a delivery truck driver, sure found that out yesterday. This was a United Airlines flight landing. It's landing gear clipped the delivery truck that was on the highway before it then also hit a light pole. Nobody was seriously injured on the ground or on that plane. INTSB investigating and rodes. We see this all the time, well in various cities you might see it, but in Newark in particular, it passes over the damn Jersey Turnpike, say, congested, busy part of New York with all this traffic, and you look up and you could all you feel like you could reach up and touch a plane it's flying right over.
00:05:08
Speaker 2: We've had this conversation in the car.
00:05:09
Speaker 1: We're not on the Jersey Turnpike that often, but the few times we have, you remember, I have said, oh my god, almost that plane is so close to the top of our car. What is happening? So that is scary to think that it actually did happen. But thankfully no one was hurt.
00:05:26
Speaker 3: All right.
00:05:26
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the Justice Department says the Secret Service officer injured during last weekend's White House Correspondence Center was in fact shot by the alleged government government. Oh my goodness, Wow, that was a Freudian slip who shot by the alleged gunman. Right gunman, alleged gunman. Please understand that is not something I meant to say.
00:05:49
Speaker 2: All right.
00:05:50
Speaker 1: Cole Allen has been charged with attempting to assassinate the President of the United States after he ran through that magnetometer on his way to the ballroom but was stopped before he could get inside.
00:06:00
Speaker 4: And there was some question he wasn't charged initially with assaults on an officer, and people were wondering was this a friendly fire incident? So this is why they've come out and said no. The US Attorney Jeanine Piro announced yesterday. They believe the suspect shot the officer, and this is how she put it. Robes a pellet that came from the buckshot from the defendant's Mosburg pump action shotgun was intertwined in the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer.
00:06:30
Speaker 2: Seems pretty plain as day.
00:06:32
Speaker 4: But there was so again, buckshot flies kind of everywhere, so it's it's hard to understand how injured was he. If it was a it was a pellet, a small pellet. It made it seem like intertwined in the fiber, like it was some little rock they cleaned out of his clothing.
00:06:48
Speaker 3: It did, I did.
00:06:48
Speaker 4: We didn't get a lot of details, but they're saying, yes, the guy fired and he.
00:06:53
Speaker 3: Hit an officer.
00:06:55
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:06:55
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, A very frightening situation happening in the Atlantic Ocean. Three cruise passengers have died and at least three others are sick from a suspected haunt of virus outbreak. The ship is in the Atlantic right now, off the coast of northern Africa. It has one hundred and seventy passengers seventy crew members on board. The cruise is operated by a Dutch company and haunt of virus. You might remember that from a story last year Gene Hackman's wife was found to have died from that virus.
00:07:25
Speaker 2: It's very rare.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: It's found mainly in rat and mouse species, and they're looking now to see if this virus actually has been spreading from human to human, which would be even more rare.
00:07:35
Speaker 2: We have a full episode on this.
00:07:37
Speaker 1: If you're interested in some extra details, please check that out.
00:07:39
Speaker 4: And yeah, we're just giving you kind of the headlines and the footnotes about it or the cliff notes about it here now. But it's important if you want to listen to that episode. Why this is such a big deal of a story that could have worldwide implications, So please check that out. Continue on the run here now. Two US service members are missing after our military exercise in Morocco. The two are part of an annual multi national training exercise. However, officials say they did not go missing while actively participating in any training right, so, they said they were actually out on a hike.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: Two guys out on a hike tail It.
00:08:11
Speaker 1: Says that they believe they fell off a cliff and went into the water, and that's just so strange to me. Look, I know they obviously were two people who were avid hikers, enjoyed hiking.
00:08:21
Speaker 2: How do both of them fall off a cliff? That is scary stuff?
00:08:25
Speaker 4: So a huge search or rescue operation is underway right now. Again, this is an exercise that involves some thirty nations and thousands and thousands of soldiers. Again, and they do it regularly every year. But it's weird to hear that something happened not while training.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, scary said, and a lot of questions, all right. Next up on the run, It is now Alabama's and Tennessee's turn to enter the great redistricting race of twenty twenty six.
00:08:50
Speaker 2: This is getting ridiculous, all right.
00:08:52
Speaker 1: The governors of those two states now say they will call special sessions this week to redraw their congressional.
00:08:59
Speaker 4: Maps, and who knows that there'll be any others. They feel emboldened now by the Supreme Court's decision last week that struck down Louisiana's congressional map, a decision that's widely viewed as weakening the landmark of Voting Rights Act, and it's widely seen robed as Republicans are gonna jump on everywhere and like, oh, we've given the okay, been given the ok by the Supreme Court. And you you said this story is good. This story has gotten ridiculous.
00:09:21
Speaker 2: It's been ridiculous.
00:09:22
Speaker 4: Started out ridiculous. Texas lawmakers fled their state. That's what started this whole thing. Yes, that's as ridiculous as.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: They were, like running away from home so that they didn't have to be present for a vote.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: That's how we have That's how it started. And here's where we are now.
00:09:38
Speaker 3: Politics in America.
00:09:39
Speaker 4: We'll stay with us here on this Monday morning ron when we come back history at the Kentucky Derby. Why also, yesterday were several zoos across the country closing, and we knew it was gonna be a hit, but nobody knew Devil Wars Prada too was gonna be this much.
00:09:56
Speaker 3: Of a hit.
00:09:57
Speaker 4: Stay here, we continue on this Monday morning run. And several zoos in several states across the country closed yesterday and over the weekend because of Hoax's robe. Somebody thought this would be funny this weekend to report bomb threats and even active shooters at zoos in Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and every case they had to bring in a swat team, had to bring in authorities to sweep zoos. Families had to get kicked out just for one.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: That's so sad, just disrupting people's Sundays with their families trying to have a good time. These are families who go to zoos with their children, and that's a lot of fear to imagine you're being rushed out. Not only is it inconvenient and disruptive, it's scary, but you also don't.
00:10:51
Speaker 3: Want to go back. Yeah, yeah, and you're kid to go anywhere.
00:10:54
Speaker 2: Right, and your kids are scared. A lot of these kids probably knew what was going on.
00:10:57
Speaker 1: That's really frightening and unnecessary and certainly I hope they were able to figure out who did this and prosecute to the fullest extent nor.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Rest made yet.
00:11:05
Speaker 4: But what was it last year the bomb threat or calls to universities? Yeah, they arrested something, so they did. They're going to go after this person, let's hope. So for sure, continue on the run here now from last to first?
00:11:17
Speaker 3: What in the world.
00:11:17
Speaker 4: Golden Tempo won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday after at one point, yes, being the very last horse in the race.
00:11:24
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: Yes, the horse was ridden by jockey Jose Ortiz, trained by Sherry Devo, who is now the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner. So congratulations to both of them. Twenty three to one odds. So if anyone bet on this horus, you are a very happy person today because those odds were very much working for you once the payout happened. And by the way, Renegade was second ridden by Ira Ortiz Junior.
00:11:50
Speaker 4: It's the brother of the guy who rode the winning horse. That's that's so cool story. So congrats to them, and congrats of course the story of the weekend, the cultural phenomen on that it has continued to be for the past twenty years, and it seems like it will be forever. Robes Devil Wears Prada to They knew it was going to be a hit. The projections were high, and they even went higher.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: Yes, the highly anticipated star studded sequel made seventy seven million dollars at the domestic box office, but this is crazy. It picked up another one hundred and fifty six million dollars internationally, so that makes a grand total for opening weekend for devil Where's Prada to two hundred and thirty three million dollars.
00:12:33
Speaker 4: It's really that's impressive. That's incredible. Now it's doing far better than the first one did. But the first one they were able to make for how much forty million or something. This one there's one hundred million plus behind this one, so that's a great start. It is a hit, and just what a cultural phenomenon rope that twenty years later, your daughters are into Devilware's product. Yes, I don't know how it was able to cross generations the way it did, but.
00:12:57
Speaker 1: Moms I think probably grew up or at least show to their daughters. Like I've absolutely watched doublewares product with my girls more than once. So yes, they were exposed to it with streaming services, and yes, it is that good. It stands the test of time. Michael also stood strong for a second weekend, right, another fifty four million.
00:13:15
Speaker 4: I mean, that would be a huge opening for any movie for the most part, but this it only fell off forty four percent. That is, you know what movie is doing well from one weekend to the next. It only fell off forty four percent, So yeah, it's still doing gang Busters.
00:13:27
Speaker 1: All right, and we will leave you on this Monday with our quote of the day.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: I thought you would like this one, babe, pick this for.
00:13:35
Speaker 1: You, all right. People are addicted to easy, and easy is the reason their life stays hard.
00:13:45
Speaker 4: People are addicted to easy, and that is the reason their life stays hard.
00:13:51
Speaker 3: I hear you correctly.
00:13:52
Speaker 2: Yeah. They don't want to put in the hard work.
00:13:54
Speaker 1: They don't want to do what it takes to be successful, or to get ahead, or or to even maybe be organized or to plan ahead.
00:14:02
Speaker 2: People want to do the easy thing.
00:14:04
Speaker 1: They want to take the easy way out, and that ends up making things hard in the long run.
00:14:08
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I'm starting. I won't share.
00:14:11
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of something in particular I do that makes my life hard. Yes, sir, I believe I am on board with that.
00:14:17
Speaker 1: With that court, people are addicted to easy, and easy is the reason their life stays hard.
00:14:25
Speaker 3: All right.
00:14:26
Speaker 4: So folks go out and have a hard day to day and things will get easier the day after that, says two people recording their podcast with waves crashing in the back. At what time is it this morning? And it's already seventy nine degrees? Yes, And Sonny, Yes, we're working hard but living easy. How about that? You know what, even that makes a good point. We went through a lot of hard, very hard and difficult things and made a lot of sacrifices so that we could be sitting here now to make recording our podcast easy. You nailed it once again, baby.
00:15:02

Speaker 4: So a huge search or rescue operation is underway right now. Again, this is an exercise that involves some thirty nations and thousands and thousands of soldiers. Again, and they do it regularly every year. But it's weird to hear that something happened not while training.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, scary said, and a lot of questions, all right. Next up on the run, It is now Alabama's and Tennessee's turn to enter the great redistricting race of twenty twenty six.
00:08:50
Speaker 2: This is getting ridiculous, all right.
00:08:52
Speaker 1: The governors of those two states now say they will call special sessions this week to redraw their congressional.
00:08:59
Speaker 4: Maps, and who knows that there'll be any others. They feel emboldened now by the Supreme Court's decision last week that struck down Louisiana's congressional map, a decision that's widely viewed as weakening the landmark of Voting Rights Act, and it's widely seen robed as Republicans are gonna jump on everywhere and like, oh, we've given the okay, been given the ok by the Supreme Court. And you you said this story is good. This story has gotten ridiculous.
00:09:21
Speaker 2: It's been ridiculous.
00:09:22
Speaker 4: Started out ridiculous. Texas lawmakers fled their state. That's what started this whole thing. Yes, that's as ridiculous as.
00:09:30
Speaker 1: They were, like running away from home so that they didn't have to be present for a vote.
00:09:34

Speaker 4: We'll stay with us here on this Monday morning ron when we come back history at the Kentucky Derby. Why also, yesterday were several zoos across the country closing, and we knew it was gonna be a hit, but nobody knew Devil Wars Prada too was gonna be this much.
00:09:56
Speaker 3: Of a hit.
00:09:57
Speaker 4: Stay here, we continue on this Monday morning run. And several zoos in several states across the country closed yesterday and over the weekend because of Hoax's robe. Somebody thought this would be funny this weekend to report bomb threats and even active shooters at zoos in Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and every case they had to bring in a swat team, had to bring in authorities to sweep zoos. Families had to get kicked out just for one.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: That's so sad, just disrupting people's Sundays with their families trying to have a good time. These are families who go to zoos with their children, and that's a lot of fear to imagine you're being rushed out. Not only is it inconvenient and disruptive, it's scary, but you also don't.
00:10:51
Speaker 3: Want to go back. Yeah, yeah, and you're kid to go anywhere.
00:10:54
Speaker 2: Right, and your kids are scared. A lot of these kids probably knew what was going on.
00:10:57
Speaker 1: That's really frightening and unnecessary and certainly I hope they were able to figure out who did this and prosecute to the fullest extent nor.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Rest made yet.
00:11:05
Speaker 4: But what was it last year the bomb threat or calls to universities? Yeah, they arrested something, so they did. They're going to go after this person, let's hope. So for sure, continue on the run here now from last to first?
00:11:17
Speaker 3: What in the world.
00:11:17
Speaker 4: Golden Tempo won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday after at one point, yes, being the very last horse in the race.

Speaker 2: That's awesome.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: Yes, the horse was ridden by jockey Jose Ortiz, trained by Sherry Devo, who is now the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner. So congratulations to both of them. Twenty three to one odds. So if anyone bet on this horus, you are a very happy person today because those odds were very much working for you once the payout happened. And by the way, Renegade was second ridden by Ira Ortiz Junior.
00:11:50
Speaker 4: It's the brother of the guy who rode the winning horse. That's that's so cool story. So congrats to them, and congrats of course the story of the weekend, the cultural phenomen on that it has continued to be for the past twenty years, and it seems like it will be forever. Robes Devil Wears Prada to They knew it was going to be a hit. The projections were high, and they even went higher.
00:12:11
Speaker 1: Yes, the highly anticipated star studded sequel made seventy seven million dollars at the domestic box office, but this is crazy. It picked up another one hundred and fifty six million dollars internationally, so that makes a grand total for opening weekend for devil Where's Prada to two hundred and thirty three million dollars.
00:12:33
Speaker 4: It's really that's impressive. That's incredible. Now it's doing far better than the first one did. But the first one they were able to make for how much forty million or something. This one there's one hundred million plus behind this one, so that's a great start. It is a hit, and just what a cultural phenomenon rope that twenty years later, your daughters are into Devilware's product. Yes, I don't know how it was able to cross generations the way it did, but.
00:12:57
Speaker 1: Moms I think probably grew up or at least show to their daughters. Like I've absolutely watched doublewares product with my girls more than once. So yes, they were exposed to it with streaming services, and yes, it is that good. It stands the test of time. Michael also stood strong for a second weekend, right, another fifty four million.
00:13:15
Speaker 4: I mean, that would be a huge opening for any movie for the most part, but this it only fell off forty four percent. That is, you know what movie is doing well from one weekend to the next. It only fell off forty four percent, So yeah, it's still doing gang Busters.
