Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your Morning Run. It is Tuesday, August eighteenth, Hejay's last day of being forty eight.
00:00:16
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Roboch and I'm TJ. Holmes.
00:00:18
Speaker 3: Today we're going to be making stops in Massachusetts, the Middle East, Capitol Hill, Tucson, as well as in Vegas.
00:00:25
Speaker 1: You just gonna roll right through that.
00:00:27
Speaker 3: That's the plan. Nobody cares about anybody's birthday.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: Who gives it?
00:00:31
Speaker 1: They do?
00:00:32
Speaker 2: Damn, I'll deal with it and move on. Nobody cares.
00:00:38
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a big deal. You know how I feel about birthdays. It's an opportunity to acknowledge how incredible it is to be alive and to have had one more year and you got everything to look forward to.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: Yes, and a bit of a funk this morning. Need to come back around to that. Thing's not exactly going my way this morning, so I need to get get my head together. But hey, I know a lot of you all have days similar to that. That's similar. That's something roams back in Ore. You'd never be allowed, right, You couldn't come on the morning when your show starts and say you know everybody, good morning. I'm I'm dragging a little bit, and hope you all just stay with me. You can't do that. You can do that here, though, And it's okay to just be open and honors about the fact that I'm having a funky morning.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: It's okay to not be okay every day. Absolutely. So we'll begin our run with ooh, a doozy of a story President Trump threatening to bomb another country, this one a critical strategic and yes, a long time US ally.
00:01:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:01:40
Speaker 3: The President gave actually a profanity laced response to Fox News when he was asked about a possible deal between Iran and Oman to reopen the Strait of Horror moves. Yes, those two have been talking in partnership and trying to get the straight of horm moves open rob which, of course those two countries flame. Karan is on the north of it, Aman is on the south of it.
00:02:04
Speaker 1: That's right. And so this is what the President had to say, if Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb this shit out of them. And he followed that up later in the White House by doubling down, telling reporters, I don't think they behaved very well, but we'd handle them very easily, just like we do other things. Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we'll have to blow them up.
00:02:28
Speaker 3: But don't worry. It's Tuesday, so he'll take that back. As we know, it's one of your favorite things. You know what I haven't looked to see, But oftentimes Taco Tuesday is trending and it has nothing to do with anybody going to a Mexican restaurant. It's Trump always chickens out, is what some people have gone. I say, some people it's done gangbusters.
00:02:47
Speaker 2: It's a thing.
00:02:48
Speaker 1: It's a viral trend and if you want to know more about it, please look at the episode before this, when we did a whole episode on it yesterday talking about the threat against Aman and certainly Trump's history with Taco Tuesday. All right, Next up on the Run, we're getting some more information about actress Hayden Pennetier. We now know she was in cardiac arrest before she died. The Coroner's office said in a press release that medical personnel responded to a nine to one to one call and found Penetier unresponsive and yes, in cardiac arrest.
00:03:20
Speaker 2: This is a residents in South Carolina at.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: The time, Yeah, Greenville, South Carolina.
00:03:25
Speaker 3: Where she was at the time, apparently at a home that she was staying in only temporarily, but life saving efforts were unsuccessful.
00:03:32
Speaker 2: Thirty six year old.
00:03:33
Speaker 3: Actress was then declared dead at around two point thirty on Monday. Initial autopsy did not reveal a cause or manner of death. They did say Ropes that there was no trauma or anything that was obvious to the body that would have contributed to her death. So it does remain under investigation, all right.
00:03:48
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, Jurors in the Tupac murder trial heard opening statements and heard from the first witnesses yesterday. Prosecutors are trying to convict Dwayne Davis for the infamous nineteen ninety six unsolved murder of Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in Las Vegas.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: So here we are thirty years later and Davis is the only person ever charged in the killing. He's accused of orchestrating it and providing the gun used, but not actually pulling the trigger. There were one, two, three others in the car at the time. All three of them are dead, including the man who is widely assumed to be the trigger man. So Davis is all this left ropes?
00:04:26
Speaker 1: Yes, So the prosecution called several investigators and witnesses to this stand, all of them trying to recall that night thirty years ago. The prosecution's case is built mostly on Davis's own admissions, though, including that book that he wrote where he literally detailed his role. So how does the defense overcome that hebi.
00:04:48
Speaker 3: Lying, I've never quite seen a defense like that. Don't believe anything, Mike Lion says.
00:04:53
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, but you have to laugh. That is preposterous.
00:04:58
Speaker 3: They're just saying he has embellished, trying to make himself sound cool, try to sell books, try to make money, and he's a liar. The defense is based on that this man is a liar. You can't believe anything he said. That's an awesome defense.
00:05:12
Speaker 1: Good lectures, all right. Next up on the Run, the prosecution rested its case against Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mom who killed her three young kids, the state calling one last witness before the defense began by calling up a friend and former co worker of Lindsay's who said, yes, she was a loving and caring nurse, and then the star witnesses of the day. Both Lindsay's sister and her mom took the stand. Clancy's mom described her daughter as a dedicated mother who began to unravel starting in October and then progressively got worse leading up to the killings in January. We're going to have a complete wrap up of all the day's emotional testimony in our next episode on the Feed. Yes, mom was very emotional, as you might imagine, talking about her grandkids. And by the way, this is a pretty hefty tally by witnesses in the court. The journalists of the court. They say the prosecution ended up calling a total of around seventy witnesses. That's a significant number that took the stand.
00:06:10
Speaker 3: A lot of them only are up there five minutes. It seemed just to answer a few questions. That's the part of it. But here we go. The defense has a case to make. Continuing on this run, we will continue in a court room. This time we were talking about Luigi Mangioni. His state trial has now been postponed now that he's pleaded guilty to the federal charges against him. He admitted in federal court last week to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and that robes has now, as we imagined, set off a whole new chain of events.
00:06:41
Speaker 1: That's right, because now his attorneys are arguing, as expected, that that triggers a double jeopardy statute and they're hoping to get his state murder charges now completely thrown out. The state trial, which was scheduled for September eighth, has now been put on hold, and state prosecutors have until October ninth to respond to the defense's request to yes, have those state charges dismissed, So.
00:07:05
Speaker 3: They'll have a hearing about those state charges and the state case. That's on December tenth. That's about a week before he's supposed to be sentenced in the federal case on December eighteenth. This is going It sounds like we'll have a conclusion to this case mid December.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: Wow, one way or another.
00:07:21
Speaker 1: That's pretty phenomenal, and perhaps without ever having a trial take place all right. Next up on the run, the House Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into a California congressman accused of sexual misconduct. While we could have just plopped in whatever lawmaker and just had that be a headline, the busy committee that's been happening quite often. Yes, this time it's Representative Jimmy Gomez. He's denied that he violated any rules or broke any laws, but has admitted to quote unquote personal mistake.
00:07:53
Speaker 3: He's actually a Democrat who is represents in district around the LA area. Again, observe the pictures out there, and he was involved with someone who worked on Capitol Hill. Don't know if that was an actual violation. They have to You're not supposed to have a relationship with anybody on your own staff or that works for your committee.
00:08:13
Speaker 2: But there is some wiggle room.
00:08:15
Speaker 3: He's trying to possibly see if he qualifies for Gome excuse me, Swallwell and Gonzales both resigned, right, Yes, those were two. Max Miller right now has an ethics investigation yep. And then the one from North Carolina.
00:08:30
Speaker 1: Chuck Edwards.
00:08:32
Speaker 3: He decided not to seek reelection after the ethics committee said he was in violation and had sexually harassed people on his staff.
00:08:38
Speaker 1: Is that correct, Yes, that's wild. That's just all in the past few months.
00:08:42
Speaker 2: Okay, let me give you the last thing.
00:08:43
Speaker 3: This guy, Jimmy Gomez, who is now going to be investigated, is the former.
00:08:48
Speaker 2: Campaign manager for Eric Swawall.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, something was in the ethos of that campaign. Wow, all right. Next up on the run Florida. I can't believe we're talking about this again already, babe. Florida is scheduled to carry out it's nation leading thirteenth execution of the year today. Texas has the second most with just four. That just shows you how far ahead Florida is in terms of the number of executions. William Francis Sylvia is scheduled to die by lethal injection tonight for the two thousand and six murder of his wife, his mother in law.
00:09:29
Speaker 3: I think he also very viciously attacked. She survived, however, but as of this recording, Sylvia still has an appeal pending before the Supreme Court, so that would be his last chance. Again, everybody knows. Don't expect Santos to call De Santa's down there to call. There have been twenty two executions in the country this year. Again, this would be the thirteenth for Florida alone, and Robes the next two or at least two more this month. My goodness, yes, has scheduled already, so.
00:10:01
Speaker 1: We'll be at sixteen at the end of this month if everything goes through. Oh, this is the thirteenth, so they'll be fifteen at the end of this month. Wow, they are absolutely on pace to surpass last year's record setting execution.
00:10:15
Speaker 2: Now only thinking by how much? Yes, and they possibly.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right. Next up on the run, The current ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is now officially the deadliest in that country's history. At least twenty three hundred people have now officially died, at least that's been what's recorded according to health officials.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: Bro, that's a.
00:10:37
Speaker 3: Little that's really really terrifying because they've had a total of five thousand cases. So out of five thousand cases, you're talking about nearly half of those folks are dying.
00:10:45
Speaker 1: Fifty percent death rate.
00:10:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, So this outbreak officially started three months ago.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: It's the seventeenth in the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Again, I can't remember the name of this strain robes off the top of my head, but this is the one, the rare one. They don't see as much. There is not even not a vaccine, there is not Hey, you have that strain, go to the store and get this stuff like, they don't have a way even to treat it.
00:11:10
Speaker 2: No, no treating me this thing.
00:11:12
Speaker 3: So this thing keeps going and going with something to keep an eye on. But stay here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back the Supreme Court. Those justices are doing something a lot of people couldn't imagine they ever really do, keep saying no to President Trump. Also an update on the Nancy Guthrie investigation. That's not really the update that people thought it was going to be. We'll explain in a sweet moment. You're telling me ropes happened at.
00:11:42
Speaker 1: The White House in the old Office.
00:11:43
Speaker 2: I gotta see this.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: Stay here, Welcome back to your Tuesday morning run. And the Supreme Court is making a habit, shockingly of saying no to President Trump. Justices yesterday rejected yet another attempt by the President to keep from paying E. Gene Carroll, the writer who successfully sued him for millions of dollars for sexual abuse.
00:12:15
Speaker 3: I think that was back in two thousand and three. This whole jury trial went down, but the jury awarded Carol five million dollars after finding that Trump abused her in a department store dressing room in the mid nineties. But then there's been years of fighting that judgment, and after the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to overturn it, Trump was finally ordered to pay that money last month, which he did, but soon after the money was in her account, he tried to appeal to the Supreme Court again to step in and get the money back.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: That was a wild choice to say, hey, I know I just gave you the money, but now I want it back. So guess what The Supreme Court said no, And so now it appears this is finally over. But oh yeah, there's that other judgment against him that the jury awarded Egen Carol just another eighty three million dollars. So we still have to wait and see when or if she ever sees that money.
00:13:14
Speaker 3: But he is still fighting that one as well, as we continue on this Tuesday morning run. Now, Arizona officials had to put out a statement yesterday after human remains were reportedly found robes near the home of Nancy Guthrie. Now you know, if you read that headline, that is going to go viral.
00:13:34
Speaker 2: Question.
00:13:35
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a big deal, you're going to click on it. But we're now hearing from Arizona officials, who say that the remains appeared to have been at the location for an extended period of time. At this time, there is no indication that they are connected to the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available. In The Sheriff's office said they continue to actively investigate Guthrie's disappearance, and they did get a big influx of tips and calls after they released those ransom notes, they said, but no word that they actually led to anything tangible.
00:14:11
Speaker 3: That added to I guess this headline ropes because there have been recent developments. I mean, Savannah's put out a couple of a couple of videos, and then the headlines we got the actual texts of those notes, so something's bubbling up.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: And then to see this.
00:14:28
Speaker 3: Everybody thought, wait, what the hell is this it? Yeah, they say it is not.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: I forgot. It did seem like Savannah was talking once again directly to whoever took her mom. So still waiting on word if that actually amounts to anything. All right, let's end on a positive note here and for the final leg of our run. Yes, it is a sweet story to tell you about coming out of the White House. Sixteen year old writer Williams was honored by President Trump after he saved a ten year old boy from drowning at a Santa Cruz beach last week. Have you seen the video? I actually rewatched it. It is remarkable. I'm sure many of you have seen this viral video of writer Williams struggling against massive surf there in Santa Cruz, getting battered and pounded by waves as he eventually pulls this young boy out to safety.
00:15:17
Speaker 3: You know, we see oftentimes the lifeguards they're sitting there, they look young, they have summer jobs and whatnot. They do have to go through training for this, and he did exactly what he was supposed to do. Now, I don't get me wrong. It takes nerve, It took strength, it took bravery, it took all that. But it was kind of cool. Whoever trained this kid, whoever he did what he was I thought that part was wonderful. He was there in the oval office with his family, few other lifeguards, and the boy whose life he saved. That kid's name is Nathaniel Ray, and it was just it was a nice moment. It was a nice reward for this kid. I guess I guess I wish more of these could be happening. I wish this would happen and use the White House in the People's House in this way more often.
00:15:57
Speaker 2: It was nice.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: I know. That's why I just wanted to add it, because oftentimes when we talk about the president and the Oval Office, it's contentious, it's negative. We're talking about blowing people up. So yes, it was wonderful to see a sixteen year old teen being hailed the hero that he is. So congratulations to Williams. And pretty cool that that young boy who was saved also got a trip to the White House out of it as well. Oh yeah, oh that was amazing all right.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: Oh I would have felt about that. This is my moment. Okay, Oh my goodness.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: Well he's there today because of writer Williams. So that was pretty cool. All right. And on this Tuesday, for your quote of the day, don't be afraid of spending money on adventures, be afraid of getting old and realizing the only place you went was to work.
00:16:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I need to text that to my mom. Oh right, always give my mom a hell about Hey, you're not getting any younger, Go do any and everything. You got money, you got time you have went to Scout.
00:17:02
Speaker 1: She knows she needs to go to Paris. I asked her the last time we spoke, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be. She didn't hesitate. She said Paris.
00:17:10
Speaker 3: And then what you saw her dusty ass passports sitting on the shelf.
00:17:14
Speaker 1: AW I know, but I just thought if anyone needed to hear this for motivation to plan that trip, to plan that adventure. Don't be afraid of spending money on adventures, be afraid of getting old and realizing the only place you went was to work and without everyone. We always appreciate you. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.
00:17:34
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Run soon.

Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, something was in the ethos of that campaign. Wow, all right. Next up on the run Florida. I can't believe we're talking about this again already, babe. Florida is scheduled to carry out it's nation leading thirteenth execution of the year today. Texas has the second most with just four. That just shows you how far ahead Florida is in terms of the number of executions. William Francis Sylvia is scheduled to die by lethal injection tonight for the two thousand and six murder of his wife, his mother in law.
00:09:29
Speaker 3: I think he also very viciously attacked. She survived, however, but as of this recording, Sylvia still has an appeal pending before the Supreme Court, so that would be his last chance. Again, everybody knows. Don't expect Santos to call De Santa's down there to call. There have been twenty two executions in the country this year. Again, this would be the thirteenth for Florida alone, and Robes the next two or at least two more this month. My goodness, yes, has scheduled already, so.
00:10:01
Speaker 1: We'll be at sixteen at the end of this month if everything goes through. Oh, this is the thirteenth, so they'll be fifteen at the end of this month. Wow, they are absolutely on pace to surpass last year's record setting execution.
00:10:15
Speaker 2: Now only thinking by how much? Yes, and they possibly.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right. Next up on the run, The current ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is now officially the deadliest in that country's history. At least twenty three hundred people have now officially died, at least that's been what's recorded according to health officials.
00:10:36
Speaker 2: Bro, that's a.
00:10:37
Speaker 3: Little that's really really terrifying because they've had a total of five thousand cases. So out of five thousand cases, you're talking about nearly half of those folks are dying.
00:10:45
Speaker 1: Fifty percent death rate.
00:10:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, So this outbreak officially started three months ago.
00:10:49
Speaker 3: It's the seventeenth in the history of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Again, I can't remember the name of this strain robes off the top of my head, but this is the one, the rare one. They don't see as much. There is not even not a vaccine, there is not Hey, you have that strain, go to the store and get this stuff like, they don't have a way even to treat it.
00:11:10
Speaker 2: No, no treating me this thing.
00:11:12
Speaker 3: So this thing keeps going and going with something to keep an eye on. But stay here on this Tuesday morning run when we come back the Supreme Court. Those justices are doing something a lot of people couldn't imagine they ever really do, keep saying no to President Trump. Also an update on the Nancy Guthrie investigation. That's not really the update that people thought it was going to be. We'll explain in a sweet moment. You're telling me ropes happened at.
00:11:42
Speaker 1: The White House in the old Office.
00:11:43
Speaker 2: I gotta see this.
00:11:44
Speaker 1: Stay here, Welcome back to your Tuesday morning run. And the Supreme Court is making a habit, shockingly of saying no to President Trump. Justices yesterday rejected yet another attempt by the President to keep from paying E. Gene Carroll, the writer who successfully sued him for millions of dollars for sexual abuse.
00:12:15
Speaker 3: I think that was back in two thousand and three. This whole jury trial went down, but the jury awarded Carol five million dollars after finding that Trump abused her in a department store dressing room in the mid nineties. But then there's been years of fighting that judgment, and after the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to overturn it, Trump was finally ordered to pay that money last month, which he did, but soon after the money was in her account, he tried to appeal to the Supreme Court again to step in and get the money back.
00:12:48
Speaker 1: That was a wild choice to say, hey, I know I just gave you the money, but now I want it back. So guess what The Supreme Court said no, And so now it appears this is finally over. But oh yeah, there's that other judgment against him that the jury awarded Egen Carol just another eighty three million dollars. So we still have to wait and see when or if she ever sees that money.
00:13:14
Speaker 3: But he is still fighting that one as well, as we continue on this Tuesday morning run. Now, Arizona officials had to put out a statement yesterday after human remains were reportedly found robes near the home of Nancy Guthrie. Now you know, if you read that headline, that is going to go viral.
00:13:34
Speaker 2: Question.
00:13:35
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a big deal, you're going to click on it. But we're now hearing from Arizona officials, who say that the remains appeared to have been at the location for an extended period of time. At this time, there is no indication that they are connected to the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available. In The Sheriff's office said they continue to actively investigate Guthrie's disappearance, and they did get a big influx of tips and calls after they released those ransom notes, they said, but no word that they actually led to anything tangible.
00:14:11
Speaker 3: That added to I guess this headline ropes because there have been recent developments. I mean, Savannah's put out a couple of a couple of videos, and then the headlines we got the actual texts of those notes, so something's bubbling up.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: And then to see this.
00:14:28
Speaker 3: Everybody thought, wait, what the hell is this it? Yeah, they say it is not.
00:14:32
Speaker 1: I forgot. It did seem like Savannah was talking once again directly to whoever took her mom. So still waiting on word if that actually amounts to anything. All right, let's end on a positive note here and for the final leg of our run. Yes, it is a sweet story to tell you about coming out of the White House. Sixteen year old writer Williams was honored by President Trump after he saved a ten year old boy from drowning at a Santa Cruz beach last week. Have you seen the video? I actually rewatched it. It is remarkable. I'm sure many of you have seen this viral video of writer Williams struggling against massive surf there in Santa Cruz, getting battered and pounded by waves as he eventually pulls this young boy out to safety.
00:15:17
Speaker 3: You know, we see oftentimes the lifeguards they're sitting there, they look young, they have summer jobs and whatnot. They do have to go through training for this, and he did exactly what he was supposed to do. Now, I don't get me wrong. It takes nerve, It took strength, it took bravery, it took all that. But it was kind of cool. Whoever trained this kid, whoever he did what he was I thought that part was wonderful. He was there in the oval office with his family, few other lifeguards, and the boy whose life he saved. That kid's name is Nathaniel Ray, and it was just it was a nice moment. It was a nice reward for this kid. I guess I guess I wish more of these could be happening. I wish this would happen and use the White House in the People's House in this way more often.
00:15:57
Speaker 2: It was nice.
00:15:58
Speaker 1: I know. That's why I just wanted to add it, because oftentimes when we talk about the president and the Oval Office, it's contentious, it's negative. We're talking about blowing people up. So yes, it was wonderful to see a sixteen year old teen being hailed the hero that he is. So congratulations to Williams. And pretty cool that that young boy who was saved also got a trip to the White House out of it as well. Oh yeah, oh that was amazing all right.
00:16:24
Speaker 2: Oh I would have felt about that. This is my moment. Okay, Oh my goodness.
00:16:29
Speaker 1: Well he's there today because of writer Williams. So that was pretty cool. All right. And on this Tuesday, for your quote of the day, don't be afraid of spending money on adventures, be afraid of getting old and realizing the only place you went was to work.
00:16:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I need to text that to my mom. Oh right, always give my mom a hell about Hey, you're not getting any younger, Go do any and everything. You got money, you got time you have went to Scout.
00:17:02
Speaker 1: She knows she needs to go to Paris. I asked her the last time we spoke, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be. She didn't hesitate. She said Paris.
00:17:10
Speaker 3: And then what you saw her dusty ass passports sitting on the shelf.
00:17:14
Speaker 1: AW I know, but I just thought if anyone needed to hear this for motivation to plan that trip, to plan that adventure. Don't be afraid of spending money on adventures, be afraid of getting old and realizing the only place you went was to work and without everyone. We always appreciate you. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.
00:17:34
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. Run soon.
