Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, this is your Morning Run for Thursday, March
twenty seventh. The Morning Run now guaranteed six thirty am
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. This is the
Morning Run where the good things grow. Hey, folks, Look,
if you want a song today to get you going,
we got one for you. Just went off Robes had
it going with Disney's show Tunes this morning and I
made a request for a song from the Snow White soundtrack.
I love that song.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I know the songs are growing on us now that
we're listening to them outside of the movie. We're kind
of getting into them.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So no matter what you've heard and thoughts about the movie,
people have their opinions, the music is pretty much spot on.
It's great stuff, so you know what to grow go.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
The movie distracted from the music. For me, I the
experience of watching the movie took away from the experience
of listening to the music. Now that we've been listening
to the music without the movie, I actually really have
enjoyed the soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
There it is, and that's how we are starting our
morning run this morning, and yes, on the run, a
lot happening all over the world really, including north of
the border, where Canada now says it's under direct attack
from President Trump. Also, the measles bordered a train in DC.
That's a problem for American soldiers missing in fear dead.
And Prince Harry delivers devastating news.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Also sixteen today, we are down to the final four
by Sunday. Yes, March Madness resumes on this Thursday. And
here's this for a headline. Demonic sea lions are scaring
people out of the water in southern California. And a
son defends his dad by blaming snow white herself and
(01:48):
sometimes people there actually really is a monster under the bed.
This story blew my mind this morning, and a little scary.
So we'll get to that all in just a bit.
But we're going to begin our run on this Thursday
morning with a significant escalation of the already tense Trump
trade war, the President announcing new auto tariffs.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, these are supposed to start next week, April third.
In particular, there's going to be a twenty five percent
tariff on all cars coming into the US, as well
as auto parts. The President said, this will raise one
hundred billion dollars for the US each year.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It will also raise the cost of your next vehicle,
according to critics, auto experts, et cetera, since car manufacturers
are expected to pass along any additional cost to the consumer,
the car buyer. Yes, that means you. The Canadian Prime
Minister went as far as calling the new tariff a
direct attack and vowed to protect Canadians. President Trump said
(02:48):
these are permanent and he says there will not be
any back and forth. He says there will not be
any delays. But this is significant. Sixty percent of parts
of vehicles are assembled around the world, so half of
all cars in this country come from places other than
the United States. So yes, this is going to have
(03:10):
a significant impact.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The numbers, the estimates are all over the place, taken
for what you will. But yes, up to ten thousand
dollars could be added to the price of a car,
depending on what car it is. But yeah, it's not
just a few pennies here or there. Why is the
President doing this? The plan is you discourage people from
sending their car, sending their parts from overseas. You're encouraging
them to what make them right, here in the US instead,
(03:33):
he's trying to get those investments and get those jobs.
That's years down the road, but that's the logic, at
least his way. He's explaining it right.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So some immediate pain, but the payoff will be big
in the end, that's what he is hoping for.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
All right, folks, we will continue our run this morning.
This next leg takes us overseas where there are four
missing American soldiers who are feared dead as the search
and recovery efforts are underway this morning in Lithuania.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yes, these soldiers were all all based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia,
and they were reported missing after they headed out on
a scheduled training exercise. The vehicle they were operating was
found submerged underwater. It was an M eighty eight Hercules
armored recovery vehicle. So they found the vehicle, but they
haven't found the soldiers.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
The army says they are keeping the families of the
soldiers up to date on everything that's going on with
the search and recovery effort, but the Lithuanian Defense Minister
said the operation is very complicated and will definitely take
some time. A reminder here even if it's not wartime
and they're not in the middle of a war zone.
We have men and women stationed all over the world.
It's just, by its nature dangerous work, and this is
(04:40):
another example of it. So sorry to hear a story
like that this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Certainly are well. Next up on the run, we are
headed back to the nation's Capital where DC health officials
are trying to locate people throughout the DC area who
may have been exposed to a person who now has
a confirmed case of measles. That person traveled from New
New York City to DC on an Amtrak train and
(05:03):
visited multiple locations, all while this person was very much contagious.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, this is kind of an urgent situation here. The
DC Department of Health said in a press release that
the infected person was on the southbound Amtrak Northeast Regional
one to seventy five train to Union Station on March
nineteenth and visited an urgent care facility in Adams, Morgan
on March twenty second. The New York City Department of
Health acknowledged it is aware of the confirmed case and
(05:31):
the patient's travel.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So far this year, the CDC has confirmed three hundred
and seventy eight measles cases in eighteen states. That number
is already larger than the total number of cases in
all of twenty twenty four. Health officials encouraging anyone who
has not been vaccinated to receive the MMR vaccine, the measles,
mumps and REBELLA vaccine. You need two doses. Once you
get those two doses, you are ninety seven percent protected.
(05:54):
But this is so urgent because you know, we've talked
about how contagious this is, but I read that health
are saying measles is literally the most contagious virus you
can possibly have in this world. We thought we had
it eradicated, the vaccination rates have gone down, and now
we're dealing with this problem. So Amtrak is reaching out
directly to the customers who are on this train to
(06:17):
let them know that they have been exposed.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
This is like the worst type of case scenario for
health officials. You have someone in an enclosed space and
you're traveling yep. So those travelers are now traveling somewhere
else possibly and for something to spread like that. Again,
where this came from and how and again we've been
talking about West Texas. There's no talk anywhere of a
connection with this person to West Texas, of any kind
of that outbreak.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, but it's interesting because yes, we've got the West
Texas outbreak which spread into New Mexico, and now just
in the last day, Ohio has said they officially have
an outbreak as well. It started with one patient two
I think it was a week or two ago. Now
it's gone to ten pretty quickly, and they're saying, yeah,
we're dealing with an outbreak now. They said they've noticed
in the lineast couple of years their vaccination rates have
(07:02):
gone down into the eighty percentile in some areas and
that is what's causing these outbreaks.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, if nothing else, this is a vaccination reminder
to us all and put this back in the headlines.
We will continue here next on our run with Prince
Harry says he's in shock and he calls it devastating.
After he stepped down from the charity he co found
it in honor of his mother, he announced his departure
as patron of Santa Ballet. That's an African based charity
(07:28):
that helps children with HIV AIDS.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, he helped start the organization twenty years ago. This
was all a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana.
He's been just such a big part of it, closely
tied to it. He was a big part of improving it,
was a big part of improving his public image early
on when he was going through all of the controversies
when he was a young single lad.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Remember that he's a married father of two now, but
think about him twenty years ago. Yeah, he's in trouble
a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
He was, I remember naked in Vegas. So yes, this, honestly,
this charity was part of his redemption or at least
people saying, you know, he is a good guy. Look
at what he's doing. So yes, Sentibalde means forget me
not Why would he leave this charity, You may ask.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
If it's so close and yeah, so beloved to him. Well,
this is sad because it's all over some internal leadership
dispute between the chairwoman of the organization and several trustees. Chairwoman,
they've asked her to step down, she refuses to do so.
She's upset about the new direction or mission they might
be going. So the trustees stepped down and Prince Harry
did this in solidarity with those trustees. This is his charity.
(08:31):
So it's too bad this had to happen. This is
how he put it. What's transpired is unthinkable. We are
in shock that we have to do this. So it's
just again, even if you're not familiar with the work
of the charity, you're certainly familiar with his mom. You're
familiar with the legacy she's passed down to the kids
of charity work and giving back. And to think this
(08:52):
is something that's so special to him that some internal
dispute causes.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Him to have to step away from yeah, leaves it certainly. Yeah,
it's just sad. That's the That's a good way to
put it all right. Next up on the Run. While
Disney's Snow White movie just got some more media attention,
it definitely does not need right now. The son of
the show's producer, Jonah Platt, took to social media to
defend his father Mark and at the same time slammed
(09:18):
the movie's star Rachel Zegler, essentially blaming Zegler for hurting
the movie with her immature behavior on social media.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He said that Zegler's free Palestine comment clearly hurt the
film's box office, writing in What Is now a deleted
reply to someone on his social media he said, and
I'm quoting here, free speech does not mean you're allowed
to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions.
Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and
she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at
(09:51):
the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue
collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful.
Narcissism is not something to be or encouraged. I read
all of his comments, you can tell he's upset. He
didn't sound irrational, he didn't sound like he was popping
off with the mouth. He made some pretty good and
(10:13):
heartfelt arguments that I think a lot of people have
talked about. Is not just about the two big stars
of the movie. So many people put so much into this,
and you hate for that to be hurt by something
like tweets or comments.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, it's just interesting, all of this back and forth,
even with Zegler's original tweet, all of these were put
out and then deleted. It's just even though yes, it
was a well thought out response to an attack on
his father, and he's a podcaster. He's a podcast called
Being Jewish, so he obviously, I'm sure, put a lot
of thought into it, but then he had to delete
(10:47):
this as well. So it just it goes to show
maybe we should put less out in the world. Zegler's
comments over the past few years leading up to the
film's release, Yeah, they have made headlines to his point.
In addition to her Free Palestine post, Zegler also criticized
the original film, calling Prince Charming a stalker. She also
posted a disparaging tweet about now President Donald Trump and
(11:08):
the people who voted for him after November's election.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Plenty of blame to go around, of course, for the
less than stellar opening weekend, and some questions were made
from moviegers like why even do a remake other points
of the film's choice of CGI for the Seven Dwarfs.
Gal Goodott made some comments her pro Israel stance turned
some people off, and then also just the quality of
the film itself, the critics and the criticism isn't necessarily great.
(11:36):
Rotten Tomato score forty two percent. Take it for what
you want, but that's not a good ritten Tomato score certainly.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
As and inn last weekend, which was opening weekend, snow
White pulled in forty three million dollars domestically eighty seven
point three million worldwide. That is far below the one
hundred million it was expected to make. The film cost
two hundred and seventy million dollars before even adding in
all the promotional account costs. So you know this right
now is not what Disney and it's producers and as
(12:05):
you know we heard from his son all the people
who work so tirelessly on this film, that's not what
they are expecting or hoping.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And that's the part that sucks most. That stings more
than any think.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And I do think it should be pointed out because
Zegler's actual performance in the film was widely praised, even
by the critics, the Rotten Tomato critics who didn't like
the movie overall, they still said she did a great
job and that should be pointed out that she was
incredible in her role, her voice. We've been listening to
it all morning long. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
All right, more to come. We'll see how it does
this upcoming weekend, but we will continue here on this
morning run. Stay with us when we come back. Yes, folks,
there are demonic sea lions out there and people are
taking action. Also coming up, we got Arkansas in action
this morning or this evening, but or most people would
(13:00):
call it just the sweet sixteen um. And also coming up,
have you ever checked the closet and looked under the
bed for monsters and one was actually in there? What
had happened? Again? All right, folks, let's continue on this
(13:22):
morning's ron. And here's a headline that caught our eye.
And by our eye, I mean robox eye, because when
she said, Hey, TJ, hear about these demonic sea lions.
I had no idea what you were talking about. But
this was very exciting to you.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
It is because how often do you see that headline
Demonic sea lion reports causes concern? Well, apparently fish are
eating a poisonous algae bloom that emits a neurotoxin called
demoic acid. Then sea lions are eating those fish, and
the result is this, You've got sea lions displaying very
(13:59):
strange symptoms that marine experts say range from extremely aggressive
behavior to sleepy stargazing behavior.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
So some of the algae blooms produced toxins so strong
that it can kill fish, mammals, and birds, and even
cause illness or death in humans. Typically, these types of
toxic algae only form every four to seven years, but
marine researchers say warming ocean temperatures and an increase in
pollution can make them grow faster and more frequently.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And a California surfer went on social media this week
after he was bitten by what he called a demonic
sea lion. He wrote that what he saw wasn't the
normal playful sea lion behavior that he's witnessed over the
decades that he's been surfing in these waters, but instead,
he said, he saw something darker, something dangerous, and he
added that he would not be surfing anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Okay, he makes an like as the walking dead of
lions out there. At least one hundred and forty sea
lions have been rescued on southern California beaches in the
past month, and sick or lifeless dolphins and birds are
also showing up in record numbers. Marine experts said this
year is the most damaging harmful algae bloom ever witnessed
in the area. It's also the fourth year in a
row the area's sea life has been impacted by a
(15:14):
poisonous bloom, so the headline was kind of playful to
a certain degree. You kind of laugh it off to Mike,
But this is actually a serious climate story.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It actually is. It's a serious climate story and a
serious warning. I mean, if you check out any of
the California newspapers like television stations, they're all reporting telling
people to be aware of the sea lions truthfully, and
yeah there's concerning You've got dolphins, you've got fish, you've
got birds, everyone, all the sea life is being impacted
by this algae. So a really interesting and scary story
(15:47):
out of California, and a reminder to us all. All right,
next up on a run. How about this for a reminder?
TJ didn't need one. Have you heard March madness resumes tonight?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I might have heard something about that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, we're talking to sweet sixteen. Four games tonight, four
games tomorrow night, and two number one seeds will be
in action this evening.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So the games are not old day like it was
last Thank God again for the God. So they start later.
We'll have a seven o'clock start tonight, but the early
games are Alabama versus BYU and then number one Florida
versus Number four seed Maryland. Your late games are one
seed Duke against four seed Arizona and then yes, my
ten seed Razorbacks against number three Texas Tech. That game
(16:30):
doesn't start. The Arkansas game until ten oh nine tip
off time Eastern time. If folks don't know, we usually
get up to do the Morning Run around three am.
So if you want to have some fun tomorrow morning,
tune in to see how we're sounding.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
So right now our plan, like, honestly, we tried to
figure this out because clearly we have to watch the
Arkansas game at ten PM, and typically my kids can
attest to this. I am in bed no later than
eight thirty and asleep no later than nine. So I
think we've decided to nap today, nap tomorrow, and stay
(17:06):
up through the game into morning Run. So Morning Run tomorrow,
your Friday edition should be fun.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Interesting, there's gonna be a continuation of the night Okay,
it's really gonna win.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was just gonna say, what if Arkansas loses, though,
how are you gonna be feeling?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh? No, well then then it'll be fine. The morning
Run will be fine if Arkansas happens.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
To lose, oh, because we'll go to sleep for a
couple hours.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, if we win, We're gonna be celebrating through the night. Yes,
be awesome if arkans And.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know what I get it. I'm a rabid Georgia
Bulldogs fan. When it comes to like the SEC championship game,
the National championship game, all bets are off for how
I'm gonna be in the morning. I get it all
right for the final leg of our run today. The
nightly routine of checking under the bed for monsters was
up ended in Kansas this week because a babysitter and
the kids she was watching. Yeah, they looked under the
(17:59):
bed and there was actually a man hiding underneath.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Can you did you used to do this with your kids?
They ever say, look under the bed, look at the closet.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Without a doubt. And I did it to my parents
because I was I watched Nightmare on Elm Street and Poultergeist.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So yeah, did you ever find anything? No? Did your
parents ever find anything?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Okay, this is not supposed to happen. This happened in
Great Bend, Kansas. Shareff there says a babysitter was looking
after two kids and one of them told her that
there was a monster under the bed. So of course
the babysitter, Okay, let me deal with his child's fears.
Make her feel better. So let's go into the room
and we'll look under the bed. Didn't think anything of it.
(18:36):
Babysitter kid got down, looked under the bed, sure enough,
discovered a man looking right back at it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I cannot I was just like, you know, everyone's putting
themselves in that position because we've all been there, and
to actually see someone, I don't even know what I
would do other than scream. Well, according to the sheriff, there,
yes was a brief altercation and the babysitter and the
child were shoved to the ground for the man who
ran away. He was thankfully caught the next day. Police
(19:04):
say he is a twenty seven year old man who
actually was once a resident of the property. There's an
order of protection against him, so he wasn't supposed to
be anywhere near the property. So that makes it extra
scary because this wasn't just a random guy, which would
be frightening it up, but this is somebody who knew
the place and who was asked not to be there
for whatever reason and showed up anyway. So it feels
(19:25):
even scarier because it sounded like maybe even there was
intents behind it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And we're horror movie fans. The great ones have some
scene where somebody looks under the bed and something jumps
out there. There's so many of those.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Scenes, crawl spaces under the bed, yes, all very scary closets. Yes,
and you don't ever actually expect someone to be there.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And then that classic have you checked the children? Right
when a stranger calls? If you haven't not seen that
horror movie the first fifteen minutes, maybe the greatest and
the realist.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So the call is coming from inside the house.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
All right, yeah, yes, well, thankfully everyone's okay, okay, Well,
we'd like you to consider this as you go about
your day today. It is our quote of the day
for this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh, this is a great one quote. Inner peace begins
the moment you decide not to let another person or
event control your emotions.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Isn't that one of the most empowering things that we
need to be reminded of constantly, because you start to
get annoyed about whatever from whomever, and then you start realizing, wait,
that's on me. I don't actually have to be upset
right now. It's my choice. To be reacting this way,
and that's so dang empowering. And I always like this reminder,
but I love this quote, so we'll give it to
(20:39):
you one more time. On this Friday Eve. Inner peace
begins the moment you decide not to let another person
or event control your emotions. And with that, we'd like
to thank you for running with us on this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes. Always appreciate you
running with us. We'll see you back here tomorrow for
a very posts March Madness Morning Run
Speaker 1 (21:05):
M
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, this is your Morning Run for Thursday, March
twenty seventh. The Morning Run now guaranteed six thirty am
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. This is the
Morning Run where the good things grow. Hey, folks, Look,
if you want a song today to get you going,
we got one for you. Just went off Robes had
it going with Disney's show Tunes this morning and I
made a request for a song from the Snow White soundtrack.
I love that song.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I know the songs are growing on us now that
we're listening to them outside of the movie. We're kind
of getting into them.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So no matter what you've heard and thoughts about the movie,
people have their opinions, the music is pretty much spot on.
It's great stuff, so you know what to grow go.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
The movie distracted from the music. For me, I the
experience of watching the movie took away from the experience
of listening to the music. Now that we've been listening
to the music without the movie, I actually really have
enjoyed the soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
There it is, and that's how we are starting our
morning run this morning, and yes, on the run, a
lot happening all over the world really, including north of
the border, where Canada now says it's under direct attack
from President Trump. Also, the measles bordered a train in DC.
That's a problem for American soldiers missing in fear dead.
And Prince Harry delivers devastating news.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Also sixteen today, we are down to the final four
by Sunday. Yes, March Madness resumes on this Thursday. And
here's this for a headline. Demonic sea lions are scaring
people out of the water in southern California. And a
son defends his dad by blaming snow white herself and
(01:48):
sometimes people there actually really is a monster under the bed.
This story blew my mind this morning, and a little scary.
So we'll get to that all in just a bit.
But we're going to begin our run on this Thursday
morning with a significant escalation of the already tense Trump
trade war, the President announcing new auto tariffs.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, these are supposed to start next week, April third.
In particular, there's going to be a twenty five percent
tariff on all cars coming into the US, as well
as auto parts. The President said, this will raise one
hundred billion dollars for the US each year.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It will also raise the cost of your next vehicle,
according to critics, auto experts, et cetera, since car manufacturers
are expected to pass along any additional cost to the consumer,
the car buyer. Yes, that means you. The Canadian Prime
Minister went as far as calling the new tariff a
direct attack and vowed to protect Canadians. President Trump said
(02:48):
these are permanent and he says there will not be
any back and forth. He says there will not be
any delays. But this is significant. Sixty percent of parts
of vehicles are assembled around the world, so half of
all cars in this country come from places other than
the United States. So yes, this is going to have
(03:10):
a significant impact.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The numbers, the estimates are all over the place, taken
for what you will. But yes, up to ten thousand
dollars could be added to the price of a car,
depending on what car it is. But yeah, it's not
just a few pennies here or there. Why is the
President doing this? The plan is you discourage people from
sending their car, sending their parts from overseas. You're encouraging
them to what make them right, here in the US instead,
(03:33):
he's trying to get those investments and get those jobs.
That's years down the road, but that's the logic, at
least his way. He's explaining it right.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So some immediate pain, but the payoff will be big
in the end, that's what he is hoping for.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
All right, folks, we will continue our run this morning.
This next leg takes us overseas where there are four
missing American soldiers who are feared dead as the search
and recovery efforts are underway this morning in Lithuania.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yes, these soldiers were all all based out of Fort Stewart, Georgia,
and they were reported missing after they headed out on
a scheduled training exercise. The vehicle they were operating was
found submerged underwater. It was an M eighty eight Hercules
armored recovery vehicle. So they found the vehicle, but they
haven't found the soldiers.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
The army says they are keeping the families of the
soldiers up to date on everything that's going on with
the search and recovery effort, but the Lithuanian Defense Minister
said the operation is very complicated and will definitely take
some time. A reminder here even if it's not wartime
and they're not in the middle of a war zone.
We have men and women stationed all over the world.
It's just, by its nature dangerous work, and this is
(04:40):
another example of it. So sorry to hear a story
like that this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Certainly are well. Next up on the run, we are
headed back to the nation's Capital where DC health officials
are trying to locate people throughout the DC area who
may have been exposed to a person who now has
a confirmed case of measles. That person traveled from New
New York City to DC on an Amtrak train and
(05:03):
visited multiple locations, all while this person was very much contagious.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, this is kind of an urgent situation here. The
DC Department of Health said in a press release that
the infected person was on the southbound Amtrak Northeast Regional
one to seventy five train to Union Station on March
nineteenth and visited an urgent care facility in Adams, Morgan
on March twenty second. The New York City Department of
Health acknowledged it is aware of the confirmed case and
(05:31):
the patient's travel.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So far this year, the CDC has confirmed three hundred
and seventy eight measles cases in eighteen states. That number
is already larger than the total number of cases in
all of twenty twenty four. Health officials encouraging anyone who
has not been vaccinated to receive the MMR vaccine, the measles,
mumps and REBELLA vaccine. You need two doses. Once you
get those two doses, you are ninety seven percent protected.
(05:54):
But this is so urgent because you know, we've talked
about how contagious this is, but I read that health
are saying measles is literally the most contagious virus you
can possibly have in this world. We thought we had
it eradicated, the vaccination rates have gone down, and now
we're dealing with this problem. So Amtrak is reaching out
directly to the customers who are on this train to
(06:17):
let them know that they have been exposed.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
This is like the worst type of case scenario for
health officials. You have someone in an enclosed space and
you're traveling yep. So those travelers are now traveling somewhere
else possibly and for something to spread like that. Again,
where this came from and how and again we've been
talking about West Texas. There's no talk anywhere of a
connection with this person to West Texas, of any kind
of that outbreak.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
No, but it's interesting because yes, we've got the West
Texas outbreak which spread into New Mexico, and now just
in the last day, Ohio has said they officially have
an outbreak as well. It started with one patient two
I think it was a week or two ago. Now
it's gone to ten pretty quickly, and they're saying, yeah,
we're dealing with an outbreak now. They said they've noticed
in the lineast couple of years their vaccination rates have
(07:02):
gone down into the eighty percentile in some areas and
that is what's causing these outbreaks.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, if nothing else, this is a vaccination reminder
to us all and put this back in the headlines.
We will continue here next on our run with Prince
Harry says he's in shock and he calls it devastating.
After he stepped down from the charity he co found
it in honor of his mother, he announced his departure
as patron of Santa Ballet. That's an African based charity
(07:28):
that helps children with HIV AIDS.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, he helped start the organization twenty years ago. This
was all a tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana.
He's been just such a big part of it, closely
tied to it. He was a big part of improving it,
was a big part of improving his public image early
on when he was going through all of the controversies
when he was a young single lad.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Remember that he's a married father of two now, but
think about him twenty years ago. Yeah, he's in trouble
a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
He was, I remember naked in Vegas. So yes, this, honestly,
this charity was part of his redemption or at least
people saying, you know, he is a good guy. Look
at what he's doing. So yes, Sentibalde means forget me
not Why would he leave this charity, You may ask.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
If it's so close and yeah, so beloved to him. Well,
this is sad because it's all over some internal leadership
dispute between the chairwoman of the organization and several trustees. Chairwoman,
they've asked her to step down, she refuses to do so.
She's upset about the new direction or mission they might
be going. So the trustees stepped down and Prince Harry
did this in solidarity with those trustees. This is his charity.
(08:31):
So it's too bad this had to happen. This is
how he put it. What's transpired is unthinkable. We are
in shock that we have to do this. So it's
just again, even if you're not familiar with the work
of the charity, you're certainly familiar with his mom. You're
familiar with the legacy she's passed down to the kids
of charity work and giving back. And to think this
(08:52):
is something that's so special to him that some internal
dispute causes.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Him to have to step away from yeah, leaves it certainly. Yeah,
it's just sad. That's the That's a good way to
put it all right. Next up on the Run. While
Disney's Snow White movie just got some more media attention,
it definitely does not need right now. The son of
the show's producer, Jonah Platt, took to social media to
defend his father Mark and at the same time slammed
(09:18):
the movie's star Rachel Zegler, essentially blaming Zegler for hurting
the movie with her immature behavior on social media.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He said that Zegler's free Palestine comment clearly hurt the
film's box office, writing in What Is now a deleted
reply to someone on his social media he said, and
I'm quoting here, free speech does not mean you're allowed
to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions.
Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and
she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at
(09:51):
the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue
collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful.
Narcissism is not something to be or encouraged. I read
all of his comments, you can tell he's upset. He
didn't sound irrational, he didn't sound like he was popping
off with the mouth. He made some pretty good and
(10:13):
heartfelt arguments that I think a lot of people have
talked about. Is not just about the two big stars
of the movie. So many people put so much into this,
and you hate for that to be hurt by something
like tweets or comments.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, it's just interesting, all of this back and forth,
even with Zegler's original tweet, all of these were put
out and then deleted. It's just even though yes, it
was a well thought out response to an attack on
his father, and he's a podcaster. He's a podcast called
Being Jewish, so he obviously, I'm sure, put a lot
of thought into it, but then he had to delete
(10:47):
this as well. So it just it goes to show
maybe we should put less out in the world. Zegler's
comments over the past few years leading up to the
film's release, Yeah, they have made headlines to his point.
In addition to her Free Palestine post, Zegler also criticized
the original film, calling Prince Charming a stalker. She also
posted a disparaging tweet about now President Donald Trump and
(11:08):
the people who voted for him after November's election.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Plenty of blame to go around, of course, for the
less than stellar opening weekend, and some questions were made
from moviegers like why even do a remake other points
of the film's choice of CGI for the Seven Dwarfs.
Gal Goodott made some comments her pro Israel stance turned
some people off, and then also just the quality of
the film itself, the critics and the criticism isn't necessarily great.
(11:36):
Rotten Tomato score forty two percent. Take it for what
you want, but that's not a good ritten Tomato score certainly.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
As and inn last weekend, which was opening weekend, snow
White pulled in forty three million dollars domestically eighty seven
point three million worldwide. That is far below the one
hundred million it was expected to make. The film cost
two hundred and seventy million dollars before even adding in
all the promotional account costs. So you know this right
now is not what Disney and it's producers and as
(12:05):
you know we heard from his son all the people
who work so tirelessly on this film, that's not what
they are expecting or hoping.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And that's the part that sucks most. That stings more
than any think.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And I do think it should be pointed out because
Zegler's actual performance in the film was widely praised, even
by the critics, the Rotten Tomato critics who didn't like
the movie overall, they still said she did a great
job and that should be pointed out that she was
incredible in her role, her voice. We've been listening to
it all morning long. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
All right, more to come. We'll see how it does
this upcoming weekend, but we will continue here on this
morning run. Stay with us when we come back. Yes, folks,
there are demonic sea lions out there and people are
taking action. Also coming up, we got Arkansas in action
this morning or this evening, but or most people would
(13:00):
call it just the sweet sixteen um. And also coming up,
have you ever checked the closet and looked under the
bed for monsters and one was actually in there? What
had happened? Again? All right, folks, let's continue on this
(13:22):
morning's ron. And here's a headline that caught our eye.
And by our eye, I mean robox eye, because when
she said, Hey, TJ, hear about these demonic sea lions.
I had no idea what you were talking about. But
this was very exciting to you.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
It is because how often do you see that headline
Demonic sea lion reports causes concern? Well, apparently fish are
eating a poisonous algae bloom that emits a neurotoxin called
demoic acid. Then sea lions are eating those fish, and
the result is this, You've got sea lions displaying very
(13:59):
strange symptoms that marine experts say range from extremely aggressive
behavior to sleepy stargazing behavior.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
So some of the algae blooms produced toxins so strong
that it can kill fish, mammals, and birds, and even
cause illness or death in humans. Typically, these types of
toxic algae only form every four to seven years, but
marine researchers say warming ocean temperatures and an increase in
pollution can make them grow faster and more frequently.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And a California surfer went on social media this week
after he was bitten by what he called a demonic
sea lion. He wrote that what he saw wasn't the
normal playful sea lion behavior that he's witnessed over the
decades that he's been surfing in these waters, but instead,
he said, he saw something darker, something dangerous, and he
added that he would not be surfing anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Okay, he makes an like as the walking dead of
lions out there. At least one hundred and forty sea
lions have been rescued on southern California beaches in the
past month, and sick or lifeless dolphins and birds are
also showing up in record numbers. Marine experts said this
year is the most damaging harmful algae bloom ever witnessed
in the area. It's also the fourth year in a
row the area's sea life has been impacted by a
(15:14):
poisonous bloom, so the headline was kind of playful to
a certain degree. You kind of laugh it off to Mike,
But this is actually a serious climate story.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It actually is. It's a serious climate story and a
serious warning. I mean, if you check out any of
the California newspapers like television stations, they're all reporting telling
people to be aware of the sea lions truthfully, and
yeah there's concerning You've got dolphins, you've got fish, you've
got birds, everyone, all the sea life is being impacted
by this algae. So a really interesting and scary story
(15:47):
out of California, and a reminder to us all. All right,
next up on a run. How about this for a reminder?
TJ didn't need one. Have you heard March madness resumes tonight?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I might have heard something about that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Yeah, we're talking to sweet sixteen. Four games tonight, four
games tomorrow night, and two number one seeds will be
in action this evening.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So the games are not old day like it was
last Thank God again for the God. So they start later.
We'll have a seven o'clock start tonight, but the early
games are Alabama versus BYU and then number one Florida
versus Number four seed Maryland. Your late games are one
seed Duke against four seed Arizona and then yes, my
ten seed Razorbacks against number three Texas Tech. That game
(16:30):
doesn't start. The Arkansas game until ten oh nine tip
off time Eastern time. If folks don't know, we usually
get up to do the Morning Run around three am.
So if you want to have some fun tomorrow morning,
tune in to see how we're sounding.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
So right now our plan, like, honestly, we tried to
figure this out because clearly we have to watch the
Arkansas game at ten PM, and typically my kids can
attest to this. I am in bed no later than
eight thirty and asleep no later than nine. So I
think we've decided to nap today, nap tomorrow, and stay
(17:06):
up through the game into morning Run. So Morning Run tomorrow,
your Friday edition should be fun.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Interesting, there's gonna be a continuation of the night Okay,
it's really gonna win.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I was just gonna say, what if Arkansas loses, though,
how are you gonna be feeling?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh? No, well then then it'll be fine. The morning
Run will be fine if Arkansas happens.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
To lose, oh, because we'll go to sleep for a
couple hours.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, if we win, We're gonna be celebrating through the night. Yes,
be awesome if arkans And.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know what I get it. I'm a rabid Georgia
Bulldogs fan. When it comes to like the SEC championship game,
the National championship game, all bets are off for how
I'm gonna be in the morning. I get it all
right for the final leg of our run today. The
nightly routine of checking under the bed for monsters was
up ended in Kansas this week because a babysitter and
the kids she was watching. Yeah, they looked under the
(17:59):
bed and there was actually a man hiding underneath.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Can you did you used to do this with your kids?
They ever say, look under the bed, look at the closet.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Without a doubt. And I did it to my parents
because I was I watched Nightmare on Elm Street and Poultergeist.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So yeah, did you ever find anything? No? Did your
parents ever find anything?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Okay, this is not supposed to happen. This happened in
Great Bend, Kansas. Shareff there says a babysitter was looking
after two kids and one of them told her that
there was a monster under the bed. So of course
the babysitter, Okay, let me deal with his child's fears.
Make her feel better. So let's go into the room
and we'll look under the bed. Didn't think anything of it.
(18:36):
Babysitter kid got down, looked under the bed, sure enough,
discovered a man looking right back at it.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I cannot I was just like, you know, everyone's putting
themselves in that position because we've all been there, and
to actually see someone, I don't even know what I
would do other than scream. Well, according to the sheriff, there,
yes was a brief altercation and the babysitter and the
child were shoved to the ground for the man who
ran away. He was thankfully caught the next day. Police
(19:04):
say he is a twenty seven year old man who
actually was once a resident of the property. There's an
order of protection against him, so he wasn't supposed to
be anywhere near the property. So that makes it extra
scary because this wasn't just a random guy, which would
be frightening it up, but this is somebody who knew
the place and who was asked not to be there
for whatever reason and showed up anyway. So it feels
(19:25):
even scarier because it sounded like maybe even there was
intents behind it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And we're horror movie fans. The great ones have some
scene where somebody looks under the bed and something jumps
out there. There's so many of those.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Scenes, crawl spaces under the bed, yes, all very scary closets. Yes,
and you don't ever actually expect someone to be there.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And then that classic have you checked the children? Right
when a stranger calls? If you haven't not seen that
horror movie the first fifteen minutes, maybe the greatest and
the realist.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So the call is coming from inside the house.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
All right, yeah, yes, well, thankfully everyone's okay, okay, Well,
we'd like you to consider this as you go about
your day today. It is our quote of the day
for this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh, this is a great one quote. Inner peace begins
the moment you decide not to let another person or
event control your emotions.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Isn't that one of the most empowering things that we
need to be reminded of constantly, because you start to
get annoyed about whatever from whomever, and then you start realizing, wait,
that's on me. I don't actually have to be upset
right now. It's my choice. To be reacting this way,
and that's so dang empowering. And I always like this reminder,
but I love this quote, so we'll give it to
(20:39):
you one more time. On this Friday Eve. Inner peace
begins the moment you decide not to let another person
or event control your emotions. And with that, we'd like
to thank you for running with us on this Thursday.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes. Always appreciate you
running with us. We'll see you back here tomorrow for
a very posts March Madness Morning Run
