Morning Run with Amy and TJ

An iHeart radio podcast

Hey there everyone and welcome to Morning Run

It is Monday

March 2nd I'm Amy Robock

And I'm TJ Holmes

And we want to get you right to some updates

We are actually just getting in the past several minutes before recording this

We are on this run going to make stops in several places

Austin, Greenville, South Carolina, Boulder, Los Angeles

And even in Woodsboro

But we need to start right now with a statement

We're just getting from US Central Command

They are confirming that three US fighter jets

Were shot down in Kuwait by the Kuwaitis

They are describing this as a friendly fire incident

The video is everywhere it is dramatic

And the set com statement that just was released states

That yes, three US F-15E strike eagles flying in support of Operation Epicury

Went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident

During active combat that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones

The US Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses

All six air crew ejected safely have been safely recovered

And are in stable condition

Kuwait has acknowledged this incident

And we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces

And their support in this ongoing operation

They say the cause of the incident is under investigation

And they will release additional information when it becomes available

Good to hear they're okay

This happens we see it in war rose but those pictures is more

We're awfully dramatic some of you may have seen them already

But you see in particular one jet just falling flat in a spin going down to the ground

Amazing all of them we're told are stable and gonna be okay

It is remarkable that they were able to eject safely in time

I want to continue on the run now

The Pentagon also confirmed Sunday

The first US military deaths in the war with Iran

They were killed in action according to the Defense Department

And the New York Times is reporting they died after a US base in Kuwait once again was attacked

Now this all comes afterward this weekend that Iran's supreme leader

And dozens of other members of the Iranian leadership were killed in the US Israeli attacks

President Trump posted another address to social media late yesterday

In which he promised America will avenge their deaths

But he also cautioned Americans that quote, sadly

There will likely be more before it ends

That's the way it is

The president also mentioned I just thought this was interesting ropes

He said in his initial statement announcing that the war was on

Speaking to members of the revolutionary guard

Speaking to military members in Iran

Put down your arms and give up or face certain death

And you will have immunity

He said in these comments they're calling by the thousands wanting to give up

Now it seemed like it was an ad lived part of his comments

But who are they calling? Where are they calling? What is that?

He said they're calling by the thousands wanting to put down their arms and give up

It's unclear what that actually means or is specifically referencing

Well President Trump and the remaining Iranian leadership

Don't seem to be on the same page about negotiating away out of this war

The president commented during an interview Sunday

That he's still ready and willing to talk to the Iranians

But the Iranian security chief Ali Larjani suggests Iran is not ready and willing to talk

And I quote here, we will not negotiate with the United States

That's about as clear as it gets and his statement was posted to his official ex accounts

I want to continue on the run this is still a run war adjacent here

But a mass shooting in Austin

Happened on Sundays being investigated now as a possible act of terrorism

The shooting left two people dead another 14 in the hospital

This all happened around 2 a.m. at a bar in the heart of the downtown Austin party scene

Authorities say the suspect was circling the block several times before he eventually rolled down his window

And fired on people who were partying on the outdoor patio

Yes and they never got out of his vehicle and that part of the shooting

But then drove to a parking lot nearby got out of that vehicle with a rifle

And started shooting people who were walking down the street

Now this suspect was eventually shot and killed in a confrontation with police identified as 53-year-old in Diaga

Diagné someone at the HSS Department of Homeland Security

DHS I should say it came into this country in 2000 from Senegal eventually married an American citizen

But has what did become a naturalized US citizen

Yes and next up on the run another mass shooting in Cincinnati sent nine people to the hospital

But authorities say those nine thankfully do not have life threatening injuries

This also early morning hour Sunday at a crowded nightclub in the city's east end neighborhood as of this recording

No suspects and police have not identified a motive in this one

All right and next up on the run our hearts are going out to the campus community at the University of Colorado

That school and in particular the football team are mourning the death of quarterback Dominic Ponder

Yeah the backup QB died in a single vehicle crash

Yesterday police say he was driving a Tesla Model 3 when he lost control

Some of the details they give are pretty horrific

It sounds like an awful crash they do believe speed was involved

But hit a guardrail hit a pole then ended up down in embankment

And the car caught on fire just sounds awful

But only one vehicle involved in this accident

Wow and Ponder was just 23 years old he was a transfer student who served yes as backup quarterback

Coach Deon Sanders called him one of his favorites just an awful awful story

An incredibly sad story edible

We always know how campus communities are impacted like this to have a young person die

So suddenly and just it's it's an awful one and of course this we people don't know your your daughter is a sophomore

Out there at Boulder now and and we haven't talked to her about this yet

She'll be waking up to this news and certainly this will be something that so many folks will be talking about

Look you know cars are the deadliest weapons we have in this country

And people talk about guns all the time but yes it's always so deeply concerning with cars and speed

So we certainly hope that people just slow down and realize how much it's important to just remember your safety when you're on the roads

All right next leg of our run will take us to South Carolina

Reverend Jesse Jackson getting a final farewell in the state where he was born

Jackson passed away February 17th at the age of 84

He's now going to lie in state at the South Carolina Capitol today

Yes there have been events honoring his life that began last week in his hometown of Chicago

That's of course also the hometown of his rainbow push coalition

After South Carolina Jesse Jackson will return to Chicago for a memorial service

And that'll be the big one where we will see so many people showing up there

To honor the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson

All right next up on the run Michael Jordan just pulled off another three

Pete of sorts and has made NASCAR history

Jordan's race team and in particular his driver Tyler reddick has now won the first three races of the NASCAR season

That has never happened before

This is not like a basketball team in the NBA

We won our first three games no no no this is a different beast

This has never happened before he won the circle of the Americas race in Austin yesterday

Just a week after winning in Atlanta and before that the big one

He won the season opening Daytona 500 and you know Tyler reddick's name not because

Necessarily of the driver he is but the controversy I guess we should say after that whole video with

Michael Jordan celebrating with his son after the Daytona 500

Just gave a little tug on a shorts little pat on the back whatever you want to call it

I'm glad that controversy went away pretty quickly and there's a cool picture everybody will remember

Michael Jordan in his first three pete he's sitting by himself with the NBA trophy

Championship trophy and he's putting up three fingers after a three pete

Tyler reddick is holding the trophy and putting up three fingers and they put those two images next each other

It's kind of cool

I mean that's just remarkable for Michael Jordan to have had the career he said

And now yes just still winning

It's what he does all right folks

We'll stay with us here on this Monday morning run when we come back a wonderful

And deserved honor for Catherine O'Hara last night will explain what happened there also explain what happened

When Michael be Jordan and Delroy Lindo get back on the stage at an award show

Hope it went different this time and we'll tell you what we spent money on this weekend

We put our money on a big winner at the box office

It's tax season and by now I know we're all a bit tired of numbers

But here's an important one you need to hear $16 billion

That's how much money and refunds the IRS flagged for possible identity fraud

Here's another one one and four honest hardworking tax paying Americans has been a victim of identity theft

Welcome back to this Monday morning run

And it was a bittersweet moment last night in Los Angeles

Catherine O'Hara posthumously won a Best Actress Award

At the 32nd Annual Acting Awards

We say the 32nd Annual Acting Awards

It also used to be called the Screen Actor Guild Awards

Why do they change it? The Sag Awards?

We all know that

I really don't know was it a marketing thing?

Was it a branding thing? Screen Actress Guild?

Maybe people don't know what that is but acting awards sound so general

Yes and people know what Sag is like the Sag Awards

Anyway O'Hara was honored for her role in Apple TV's The Studio

We need to finish watching these episodes

We just got going late to the party

Yes we are

But immediately she is the star of the show

You just can't help it

You don't take your eyes off of her in this show

It's not Rogen who created the show except it on her behalf

And in a touching speech encourage people

Who might have people in their lives that don't know about her

To have them watch one of her films

He actually mentioned specific scenes from some of the movies

And he said when they watched it and as they're laughing

You say this to them

That's Catherine O'Hara

And we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so generously shared her talents with us

It was a cool moment

Listening to Seth Rogen talk about Catherine O'Hara reminded me of you

He talked about how yes, about how her brilliance and her just constant working mind

He said he didn't want to tell any other actresses

Because he didn't want them to get any ideas

But he said literally after every rehearsal they would come back

And she would have sent them an email saying for your consideration

And would have ways to rewrite her entire scene

And he said in every damn time it was better

It made the scene better

It made the show better

And he just said that was her brilliance

Literally her mind was constantly on fire and she was constantly rewriting

And it reminded me of you

Yeah, as soon as I read that I got tearful just remembering her brilliance but also thinking of yours

Oh my goodness, great

All right

We will cut this out

You all, she is not in any way comparing talent of Catherine O'Hara to any possible semblance of talent

I actually am, but okay

Next up on the run we stay in Hollywood at the Actors Awards

That's okay, I guess that's what we're calling them

And it was a very different award show

One week later for Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo actor

Actor Michael B. Jordan

And the sinners cast came out on top in the final weeks before the Oscars

Yeah, Michael B named best actor for his dual roles as twin brothers in sinners

He beat it out, he beat it out

I mean, the usual cast of characters

And we've seen all of these Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothy Chalamet

Jesse Plemons, Ethan Hawke

And there was a couple of other names

Those are the big ones

Yeah

Who's the guy, I'm sorry, the foreign language film, I can't remember your name

I am never coming up with that

He pulled off a couple of upsets, but again, this has been cool

But Michael B. Jordan said the ride has been unbelievable

Thank you for welcoming me in and making me feel seen

Y'all know how I feel about y'all

Yeah, it was very sweet

He paid homage to all the other actors in his category

He was very humble, it was a beautiful speech

And then when sinners won best ensemble

By the way, up against the cast of one battle after another

Frankenstein hamnet, Marty Supreme

Jordan's co-star Delroy Lindo said

Making sinners was an incredible journey

He said every single day we brought ourselves, our hearts, our souls to this endeavor

Yeah, just a day earlier at the NAACP Image Awards

Lindo made his first public comments

Since that whole inward controversy

When the man with Tourette shouted that out at him and Michael B

When they were on stage at the BAFTA Awards

He said, quote, before we start

I'd like to officially say we appreciate I appreciate

We appreciate all the support and the love that we have been shown

In the aftermath of what happened last weekend

And it means a lot to us as an honor to be here amongst our people this evening

It's a classic case of something that could have been very negative

Becoming very positive

Hmm

I love that and then he received a standing ovation

I just thought that was cool

They didn't say anything in the aftermath

It was very negative for this moment

And it was so perfectly said

It was a nice moment at the NAACP Image Awards

That we mentioned here happened as well

And Dion Cole was a comedian who did that at the top of the show

He acknowledged that he was saying a prayer to the group

Probably mostly black folks in NAACP

He said, let us bow our heads in prayer

He said, please, if there are any white men in the audience with Tourette's

Please, Lord, get to them

It's not going to go the way they think it's going to go

He made a funny comment everybody laughed

You know what?

It was cool

That's incredibly cool because they...

You know what?

It's Michael B. Jordan, it's Delward Linda

Just for them to be able to celebrate the love that they felt

Versus that hateful word

That's pretty impressive

And I'm glad they didn't acknowledge the guy at all, right?

Nope

Because he didn't acknowledge them

Yep

That seems about right

Wow

I feel my heart rate going up again

Okay, next up

All right, how about this for the final leg of our run

We happily contributed our $47

To the $97 million

Opening of Scream

Seven at the box office

Biggest in their franchise history

From Markable

From Markable opening

This broke 30 years ago

Scream was 30 years ago

The personal

And 97

Movies later, Nev Campbell was a big draw

Yes, because they lost the other two big stars

Barara and she got fired for something she said about Palestine

Yes

And then what was it?

Genoa Tega

Was a part of the franchise as well

She's not back so they brought back Nev Campbell

And something worked

However, it didn't work on critics

It has actually pretty awful reviews

In the 30s on Run Tomatoes, I believe

But audience review is high up there, right?

78% or so

So ghost phase no matter what

It's proved to be an enduring big screen killer

$97 million in the opening

I think 30 of that came from overseas

Yeah, we went and checked it out

We see what the critics mean about the criticism

But yeah, it is

You know what, you know what you're getting

And I think that's why we went into it

Even with the bad reviews saying

You know what, we get the formula, we get the franchise

And I even said this

Look, the acting was amazing

It wasn't scary

I mean, you kind of know

But I thought the first five minutes were wildly entertaining

And every single actor who was a part of that movie was phenomenal

No offense to anybody else

But this might have been the best ensemble cast in a Scream Seven

And in a Scream movie

This might have been

I'm trying to think to some others

This might, these were talented folks

And hey, even if the script wasn't A++, the acting was

Yes, that is very, very true

All right, our quote

And no offense to the script writer

I'm just trying to

Yeah, you know, I think we've gotten used to horror has now taken

It's elevated

They have so many movies, like even sinners

Let's talk about that

Just taking the genre of horror and making it

It's not just some throwaway script, these are...

Weapons?

Yes, interesting

Edge of your seat, what's going to happen next?

Throwing in all sorts of, you know, just really incredible twists and turns

The game has been...

It has been increased since Scream started 30 years ago

But every once in a while, you know, a palette cleanser

A white woman running through the forest and tripping over the one log

You know what? I like that

Every once in a while, you still need that

There was a palette cleanser, I appreciate that

All right, with all of this crazy news out there

I saw this on Instagram actually yesterday

And it made my shoulders just actually fall down

And so I wanted to have this as our quote of the day on this Monday

With all that's taken place over the weekend

Don't forget to imagine the best case scenario too

Yeah, that's it

I love that

I felt like we need this quote in our lives today

Everyone, I know we all get...

It's overwhelming, it's scary, we've got terror threats and heightened alerts

And we're at war and Americans are dying and people around the world are dying

And it's just we see F-16s falling out of the sky

This is scary stuff

Don't forget to imagine the best case scenario too

It's important, there is hope, there is positivity in the world

It took me a little while and it takes a little training

But how many times in your life do you say, okay, I got to prepare for the worst case scenario

I've got to prepare for the worst case scenario, worst case scenario

We barely ever stop and think, okay, what if this does work out?

Yeah, and I think so

I'll take, I'll say this, sometimes we think we don't want to jinx it

Right, somehow we get superstitious

But that is a silly notion, I'm Gabby Bursting

We love to mention her at least once a week

But this whole notion of manifesting things good in your life

So yes, let's focus on if we're going to have our energy or our thoughts

Consume for something, let's imagine the best case scenario

Let's imagine it all working out

All right, today is going to work out, I like that, I appreciate that one today, babe

All right, and with that everyone, thank you for running with us

I'm Amy Robach

And I'm TJ Holmes again, look for a number of updates here in our feed

Today we'll be updating you here shortly expecting a Pentagon press briefing

This morning after we listen to that a lot of news likely going to come out

You can look for another update from us on our feed here

But we always appreciate you running with us, I'm TJ Holmes and we will talk to you also

Did you say your name already?

I did already

Okay, well, don't know who she is, I'm TJ, see you all soon

This is Chelsea, handler from Dear Chelsea

After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials

And there was one that stayed with me

It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy

It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school

And another student who chose not to ignore it

As someone who was Jewish that moment felt very real to me

Not dramatic, just familiar

And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself

But the impact is still huge

If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about

And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that
