Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.
00:00:05
Speaker 2: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your Tuesday Morning Ron.
00:00:09
Speaker 3: It is Tuesday, June second. I'm Amy Robox.
00:00:12
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. We are all over the place today. Not a good way to start the stop the top of a of any news update broadcasts Robes by saying, we're confused, and we're confused about the war with Ran, and we're confused about where we are on the talks. Robes, what's happening with the back and forth. We have the people at the top giving us two very different stories about what's currently going on in peace talks.
00:00:43
Speaker 2: And the sad thing about that is that's been the status quo. At what point have you been clear about what's going on and who we're talking to and what we've agreed with and what we haven't agreed with.
00:00:57
Speaker 3: It's never been clear this entire time.
00:01:00
Speaker 1: Got about that from the very beginning. He was say, Yeah, well, were talking to the people and we think we got the right guys and they seem to be connected. That was at the very beginning, and.
00:01:07
Speaker 2: The President said that at certain points throughout all of this that Iran had agreed to end nuclear production, like all of this stuff that keeps coming out, and then none of it appears to be true. So here we are in exactly the same place. Iran says the talks are off. President Trump says, the talks are moving at a rapid pace.
00:01:29
Speaker 3: And that's where we are with the war with the Rath.
00:01:31
Speaker 1: Yeah. Aron came out yesterday said they are suspending peace talks like everything gets off. We're not even they said, roll specific. We're not even exchanging notes anymore. We nothing. We're not talking any more, is what they said. They said they're doing this because Israel continues its military action in Lebanon against Hesbulah. The President then followed up after they said all talks are all by saying and I quote, talks are continuing at a rapid pace with the Islamic Republic of our one. The confusion now, because the President even said he was confused. Later he said, well, I didn't hear about that.
00:02:06
Speaker 2: What he said, I didn't hear about that. He actually said that, my goodness. All right, Well, next up on the run, remember that anti weaponization fund. Never mind, the administration is now backing off it's planned one point eight billion dollar fund that was meant to allow people who felt they were wronged by the Biden administration.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: So opponents immediately called this a slush fund. Even Republicans pushed back on this thing and couldn't believe it because the idea was, are you serious January sixth, folks who were climbing the walls and running through the Capitol.
00:02:40
Speaker 3: Chemstyloicing police officers and.
00:02:42
Speaker 1: Can get money, can get money for it. So that was a lot of pushback, but a judge recently put a hold to it, and now the administration says it plans to abide by the judge's order. We didn't know Robes if they were going to continue to push and appeal. It looks like they're going to let this one go.
00:02:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, they already got pardoned. Let's not go ahead and pay them. Next up on the run, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has a very busy day on Capitol Hill today. He's going to be testifying in back to back hearings in both the House and the Senate.
00:03:10
Speaker 1: It's the first time they're going to get to question him since the war with Iran started, at least in a public hearing. They've had some behind the scenes briefings. But this is a first. These are planned budget hearings, actually robes. But how many budget questions you expect to hear off the top? Probably not a lot? None? Y all right?
00:03:28
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, the president bragging about ending careers and now he appears to be threatening to end more. Here's another seemingly unprompted truth social posts that the President wrote. In the last two weeks, I've taken out many bad political leaders and pundits, including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, lightweight Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Brad Rathensberger of Georgia, really dumb Stephen Colbert of CBS, and others. My score for two weeks is thirty eight to nothing, with three more limping late night talk show hosts, including low ratings Bill Maher and his fake laughing machine to go. It is my honor to be working so hard for our country.
00:04:14
Speaker 1: That was a little scary to me. He's like gleeful about people's careers, being over about things, and like happily taking you out. And he has a list robes to say, like he's stating it, I'm going after these people. He's going after late night.
00:04:31
Speaker 2: And then saying it's because he's working so hard for our country.
00:04:35
Speaker 1: That was a tough one. We've said several times, ropes. If we just did an episode a day, here is the day in presidential.
00:04:43
Speaker 3: Tweets, your president, and just let folks hear it.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: I just I think folks would be a little alarmed. Robes they actually read through this stuff.
00:04:53
Speaker 3: I'm sure of it.
00:04:55
Speaker 1: All right, continue on the run here now. I wonder what James Comy is feeling about this next story of federal judges rule that eighty six forty seven should not be considered a threat against President Trump. A progressive group has been using that eighty six forty seven on a banner, a balloon they have. It's part of an ongoing protest in DC. They filed a lawsuit when the Secret Service suggested their sign was a call to violence. They thought their permit was going to be taken away, so that's why they filed suit.
00:05:22
Speaker 2: Okay, but a judge just ruled in their favor, saying it's difficult to fathom that a reasonable observer would view it as a true threat. And of course this is exceptionally notable because of course former FBI director James Comey has been brought up on charges for his Instagram post that depicted shells forming that very number eighty six forty seven, and they said that it was a direct call to kill President Trump. This judge pretty much just said that argument is full of shiit.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: Well, the federal government suing for this is bringing somebody up on charges for the federal thing. The very thing that a federal judge now has ruled is not a threat. What do you do now?
00:06:10
Speaker 2: I think we know where this is going, and I think we always knew where it was going, all right.
00:06:14
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, the cable news network formerly known as MSNBC is being sued by Alexis Wilkins. Recognize that name. Here's a hint. Her boyfriend's name is Cash. Yeah, she's the girlfriend of FBI director Cash Patel.
00:06:30
Speaker 2: So Wilkins alleges that ms NOW knowingly push pushed a false narrative about her security detail, and the network reported at one point in FBI security detail was ordered to escort drunk friends of hers back home. So Patel also recently followed his own lawsuit against the Atlantic for an article detailing allegations of excessive drinking so he probably might have the same lawyers, and they just know they can go after, yes, anyone who publishes what they claim are false narratives of them.
00:07:01
Speaker 1: All right, continuing on the run here now, police say six people are dead after a man went on a shooting spree in several locations in Iowa. The suspect allegedly shot four people at one home before going on to kill two more men at two different locations.
00:07:15
Speaker 2: This all happened in Muscantine. It's about an hour southeast of Cedar Rapids. To give you an idea of where we're talking about. Ryan McFarland, who's fifty two years old, is identified as the suspect. He died of a self inflicted gunshot wound when police finally caught up with him and the motive here it was a domestic dispute. All the victims are believed to be family members of Ryan McFarland. Incredibly sad situation there in Iowa.
00:07:40
Speaker 1: I continue here on the run. A story has been getting a lot of attention, national attention because of a video that's gone viral. But a North Carolina police officer has been fired and now facing chargers after that widely circulated video showing him wailing on a woman during an arrest.
00:07:56
Speaker 2: Carson Hyder, he's twenty two years old, has been charged with assault and is expected to make a court appearance later today. That doorbell camera captured Hyder punching a thirty four year old woman repeatedly while she was on the ground.
00:08:12
Speaker 1: I would like to hear details about this one. Again. This isn't police body cam. This was those door cams. They're good in crimes and they like this as witnesses to a lot of stuff. But he's when I saw he was twenty two. I mean the training, what was his background? How experienced is he at this and handling something? How could you react like the woman was on the ground.
00:08:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough to defend.
00:08:35
Speaker 1: I continue on the run here now. Florida going to carry out its eighth execution of the year. That's more than any other state this year. Andrew Richard Lukehark. Luke Hart is his name, luke Hart. He's scheduled to die by lethal injection tonight for the nineteen ninety six killing of a five month old It was his girlfriend's.
00:08:53
Speaker 3: Daughter, Oof And here's a note.
00:08:55
Speaker 2: He was on probation at the time of the murder for the vicious beating of another child who was just eight months old. This will be the fifteenth execution of the year in the United States, and this one looks like it in fact will be going through.
00:09:12
Speaker 1: All right, stay here, we're going to continue on the run here in just a moment, we're going to go back to Florida, where it's become the first state and it might be the first of many to sue a particular company. Also coming up, my goodness, gracious, the wrong kind of headlines continue to come out of CBS News and in particular sixty minutes and my favorite story of the day, and it has to do with bedtime in New York City.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: Stay here, welcome back to your Tuesday morning run.
00:09:50
Speaker 3: And next up on the run, the state of Florida.
00:09:52
Speaker 2: Has sued open Ai over chat GPT, saying it's Ai chatbot is causing harm. The date is claiming the company failed to provide enough safeguards and warnings and that they knew, or at least should have known.
00:10:06
Speaker 3: It could lead to harmful outcomes.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: It's the first date now to file suit against the company over safety risks robes. We've seen plenty of lawsuits having to do with teens death and getting help. They turn to chat GPT for advice when it comes to harming.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: Themselves, instructions for suicide.
00:10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yes, the state is going to seek financial damages. Don't exactly know what, but Robes this could be the first of many.
00:10:32
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run.
00:10:33
Speaker 2: More of the wrong kind of news continues to come out of CBS News.
00:10:38
Speaker 3: This was perhaps one of my favorite stories of the day.
00:10:41
Speaker 2: I've got to say the New York Times reporting about an explosive meeting and that's truly an understatement in which long time sixty Minutes correspondent Scott Pelly accused editor in chief Barry Wise of murdering the show.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: That is a direct quote, that word murdering. Now he did not say this too badr Weiss's face. She just happened to not be at this meeting. This was supposed to be a meeting in which staff was being introduced to the new executive producer of the show, Nick Bolton. Now Bolton Ropes, as we know, does not have any experience Builton.
00:11:13
Speaker 3: Just like what you said, Bolton like isn't Michael, but it's Builton. It's Nick Bilton. I just wanted to make.
00:11:17
Speaker 1: Sure man I got to put on some Michael Bolton later. He is one of our favorite artor.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: Of Michael Bolton. But this is Nick Bilton.
00:11:23
Speaker 1: We should explain one day why we love Michael Bolton so much. He doesn't even know it. But anyway, Nick Bilton, excuse me, thank you, thank you. But Nick Bilton does not have any television news experience. He's a documentary filmmaker and a tech journalist.
00:11:37
Speaker 3: He was a New York Times tech columnist.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Okay, so fine, but that raised some eyebrows. This is the most important news program on television, the most successful, and the longest running. God sick, So it's kind of a big deal. So he goes into the meeting. Rose. We've been to plenty of these where a new person is introduced at a network. These are supposed to be very formal. Most people in the room are trying to be nice to the new boss because they want to make sure they get to keep their jobs. Kind of a thing, supposed to be a formality. This is not what happened. Apparently Pelly went off on everything, and everybody said that Wise has quote no qualifications for the job, said that Weiss quote was brought in to kill the show, and she's doing exactly that. Pelly again saying, quote, catastrophic changes have been made to Evening News. He apparently let louse. Don't they have the audio of this or something?
00:12:28
Speaker 2: Yes, we're going to do a full episode on this coming up, so please please please look for it because this is unbelievable. I actually went through the New York Times and the Washington Post, among others, actually have the audio. Someone in that meeting hit record on their phone and sent it to news agencies, so we actually have a basic legit transcript of what happened in that room, and it is jaw dropping built and hit back at one point saying you're not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: He oh, this is so.
00:13:03
Speaker 2: This is juicier than any Netflix show I've seen recently. This is unheard of to happen in a newsroom and it's awful and reportedly not reportedly, people who heard the tape said it absolutely happened.
00:13:18
Speaker 3: When he left.
00:13:20
Speaker 2: When Builton left, people gave a huge round of applause for Scott Pelley.
00:13:25
Speaker 1: He's the only one over there who could do that. Probably a couple more.
00:13:27
Speaker 3: I would say he is probably the only one. Maybe Gail King.
00:13:30
Speaker 1: As respect and not no offense to herb it. I mean, he has been there long on sixty minutes, is it? He is the guy.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: He was the evening news anchor for I believe seven years too, so he has a long standing historical people say veteran correspondent.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: He is a veteran among veterans, and.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: He gives a damn about that show. All right. Finally, here robes. What is bedtime for kids these days? What's a normal bedtime? Elementary school, middle school, high school? Is there bedtime in high school?
00:13:58
Speaker 3: Uh?
00:13:59
Speaker 2: My parents gave me one, but most kids, I would say probably not, But.
00:14:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, elementary kids. I had my kids in bed by seven thirty Okay, so seven thirty eight, that's yeah, seven thirty eight.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: All right, that all goes away. It's gone. There is no more bedtime, and New York City kids stay up as late as you want. Well, this is a cute story. And every once in a while the politician does something, I'm like, Okay, that's a nice outreach to the community. That's cool, that's cute, And mom, Donnie did it yesterday. He had had himself surrounded by kids in his office signing a declaration that repeals bedtime during the NBA Finals.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: It's very cute.
00:14:40
Speaker 1: All the kids can stay up and watch the Knicks play.
00:14:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had all the kids saying, sign it, sign it, sign it.
00:14:47
Speaker 3: It was very cute.
00:14:48
Speaker 2: So yes, kids can stay up late and watch the next game. And they'll that's an actual legit excuse perhaps to the teacher about the homework.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: And this is the whole mirroring. The city should get involved. The Knicks haven't been there in nearly thirty years. It's an important franchise, not just for basketball, but in all roads. It's cool of American sport. We go everywhere we go and travel. You see Yankees, hats, Nick see Dodgers, you see Nicks. You see certain things. I love it. So well done, mister mum dye.
00:15:20
Speaker 2: Yes, Wednesday, eight thirty pm Eastern time is tip off, I believe.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing in San Antonio the first two games.
00:15:26
Speaker 3: All right, very exciting stuff.
00:15:27
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna leave you on this Tuesday with our quote of the day. Look, I've seen many different variations of this, but I saw this one, and they're attributing it to Seneca, the Roman philosopher. So it's amazing how wise all those philosophers were, all those I probably was, yes, all right, you do not live. Once you die once every morning life is handed back to you.
00:15:55
Speaker 1: I love yes variations of that. Yes, yes, you live every day. Life is every single day you that one time. Yeah.
00:16:03
Speaker 2: I love the yolo flipping it around and saying no, no, no no, because that almost kind of acts like no, we live every day and that's what we forget to live in the moment. And I love the idea of every morning you wake up, life is handed back to you. You get a chance to start over. It is a clean slate. I love that idea.
00:16:22
Speaker 3: So once again, you do not live.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: Once you die once every morning life is handed back to you. And with that, everyone, we hope you do some living today. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.

Speaker 2: Has sued open Ai over chat GPT, saying it's Ai chatbot is causing harm. The date is claiming the company failed to provide enough safeguards and warnings and that they knew, or at least should have known.
00:10:06
Speaker 3: It could lead to harmful outcomes.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: It's the first date now to file suit against the company over safety risks robes. We've seen plenty of lawsuits having to do with teens death and getting help. They turn to chat GPT for advice when it comes to harming.
00:10:23
Speaker 3: Themselves, instructions for suicide.
00:10:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yes, the state is going to seek financial damages. Don't exactly know what, but Robes this could be the first of many.
00:10:32
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the run.
00:10:33
Speaker 2: More of the wrong kind of news continues to come out of CBS News.
00:10:38
Speaker 3: This was perhaps one of my favorite stories of the day.
00:10:41
Speaker 2: I've got to say the New York Times reporting about an explosive meeting and that's truly an understatement in which long time sixty Minutes correspondent Scott Pelly accused editor in chief Barry Wise of murdering the show.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: That is a direct quote, that word murdering. Now he did not say this too badr Weiss's face. She just happened to not be at this meeting. This was supposed to be a meeting in which staff was being introduced to the new executive producer of the show, Nick Bolton. Now Bolton Ropes, as we know, does not have any experience Builton.
00:11:13
Speaker 3: Just like what you said, Bolton like isn't Michael, but it's Builton. It's Nick Bilton. I just wanted to make.
00:11:17
Speaker 1: Sure man I got to put on some Michael Bolton later. He is one of our favorite artor.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: Of Michael Bolton. But this is Nick Bilton.
00:11:23
Speaker 1: We should explain one day why we love Michael Bolton so much. He doesn't even know it. But anyway, Nick Bilton, excuse me, thank you, thank you. But Nick Bilton does not have any television news experience. He's a documentary filmmaker and a tech journalist.
00:11:37
Speaker 3: He was a New York Times tech columnist.
00:11:39
Speaker 1: Okay, so fine, but that raised some eyebrows. This is the most important news program on television, the most successful, and the longest running. God sick, So it's kind of a big deal. So he goes into the meeting. Rose. We've been to plenty of these where a new person is introduced at a network. These are supposed to be very formal. Most people in the room are trying to be nice to the new boss because they want to make sure they get to keep their jobs. Kind of a thing, supposed to be a formality. This is not what happened. Apparently Pelly went off on everything, and everybody said that Wise has quote no qualifications for the job, said that Weiss quote was brought in to kill the show, and she's doing exactly that. Pelly again saying, quote, catastrophic changes have been made to Evening News. He apparently let louse. Don't they have the audio of this or something?
00:12:28
Speaker 2: Yes, we're going to do a full episode on this coming up, so please please please look for it because this is unbelievable. I actually went through the New York Times and the Washington Post, among others, actually have the audio. Someone in that meeting hit record on their phone and sent it to news agencies, so we actually have a basic legit transcript of what happened in that room, and it is jaw dropping built and hit back at one point saying you're not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people.
00:13:00
Speaker 3: He oh, this is so.
00:13:03
Speaker 2: This is juicier than any Netflix show I've seen recently. This is unheard of to happen in a newsroom and it's awful and reportedly not reportedly, people who heard the tape said it absolutely happened.
00:13:18
Speaker 3: When he left.
00:13:20
Speaker 2: When Builton left, people gave a huge round of applause for Scott Pelley.
00:13:25
Speaker 1: He's the only one over there who could do that. Probably a couple more.
00:13:27
Speaker 3: I would say he is probably the only one. Maybe Gail King.
00:13:30
Speaker 1: As respect and not no offense to herb it. I mean, he has been there long on sixty minutes, is it? He is the guy.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: He was the evening news anchor for I believe seven years too, so he has a long standing historical people say veteran correspondent.
00:13:45
Speaker 3: He is a veteran among veterans, and.
00:13:48
Speaker 1: He gives a damn about that show. All right. Finally, here robes. What is bedtime for kids these days? What's a normal bedtime? Elementary school, middle school, high school? Is there bedtime in high school?
00:13:58
Speaker 3: Uh?
00:13:59
Speaker 2: My parents gave me one, but most kids, I would say probably not, But.
00:14:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, elementary kids. I had my kids in bed by seven thirty Okay, so seven thirty eight, that's yeah, seven thirty eight.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: All right, that all goes away. It's gone. There is no more bedtime, and New York City kids stay up as late as you want. Well, this is a cute story. And every once in a while the politician does something, I'm like, Okay, that's a nice outreach to the community. That's cool, that's cute, And mom, Donnie did it yesterday. He had had himself surrounded by kids in his office signing a declaration that repeals bedtime during the NBA Finals.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: It's very cute.
00:14:40
Speaker 1: All the kids can stay up and watch the Knicks play.
00:14:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had all the kids saying, sign it, sign it, sign it.
00:14:47
Speaker 3: It was very cute.
00:14:48
Speaker 2: So yes, kids can stay up late and watch the next game. And they'll that's an actual legit excuse perhaps to the teacher about the homework.
00:14:57
Speaker 1: And this is the whole mirroring. The city should get involved. The Knicks haven't been there in nearly thirty years. It's an important franchise, not just for basketball, but in all roads. It's cool of American sport. We go everywhere we go and travel. You see Yankees, hats, Nick see Dodgers, you see Nicks. You see certain things. I love it. So well done, mister mum dye.
00:15:20
Speaker 2: Yes, Wednesday, eight thirty pm Eastern time is tip off, I believe.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing in San Antonio the first two games.
00:15:26
Speaker 3: All right, very exciting stuff.
00:15:27
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna leave you on this Tuesday with our quote of the day. Look, I've seen many different variations of this, but I saw this one, and they're attributing it to Seneca, the Roman philosopher. So it's amazing how wise all those philosophers were, all those I probably was, yes, all right, you do not live. Once you die once every morning life is handed back to you.
00:15:55
Speaker 1: I love yes variations of that. Yes, yes, you live every day. Life is every single day you that one time. Yeah.
00:16:03
Speaker 2: I love the yolo flipping it around and saying no, no, no no, because that almost kind of acts like no, we live every day and that's what we forget to live in the moment. And I love the idea of every morning you wake up, life is handed back to you. You get a chance to start over. It is a clean slate. I love that idea.
00:16:22
Speaker 3: So once again, you do not live.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: Once you die once every morning life is handed back to you. And with that, everyone, we hope you do some living today. I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ.
00:16:34
Speaker 1: Holmes. We will be living and running with you soon
