Morning Run: “Historic” TSA Lines, No Funding Deal, Musk Money Rejected, Iran Rejects Peace Deal, Meta and YouTube Liable, Savannah Guthrie Speaks and Colbert’s New Gig

It took the pressure of an Easter vacation to get lawmakers to finally fund DHS and get long overdue paychecks to TSA workers.  Around 2am ET, the senate passed a version of a spending package that would fund the agency, minus ICE and border patrol.  The House still has to pass the senate’s version, but that’s expected later today.  This all comes after President Trump announced last night that he would pay TSA workers to stop the chaos at the airports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

70-year-old Howie Mandel called out Kelly and Mark this week for saying that he looks great, right after he told them his age.

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie sat down with Hoda Kotb for her first interview since her 84-year-old mom Nancy went missing 54 days ago. Savannah talked about the disbelief and chaos in the first few days after Nancy disappeared, and the almost immediate conclusion she and her siblings came to: that Nancy was likely kidnapped for ransom. Savannah goes on to say she believes the two ransom notes she and her siblings responded to in videos were legitimate. She also says she believes that her fame, and the knowledge of her high income, probably enticed the kidnapper to take her mom in the middle of the night.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The House Oversight Committee has called the prison guard who last saw Jeffrey Epstein alive to answer several outstanding questions surrounding the events leading up to his death.  Lawmakers wanted Tova Noel to testify today on Capitol Hill, but her attorney announced she would not be testifying this week and is  negotiating now with Congress.   Lawmakers have specific questions they want answered including large deposits made into her bank account, internet searches she made on the night of Epstein’s death and a late night “orange blob” seen on surveillance camera leading to Epstein’s cell block.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even Usher himself knew what he was about to say would cause an uproar, when he couched his comments on Sean “Diddy” Combs with “This might be a bit controversial….”  Usher sat down with Forbes in a new interview where he said that he has nothing negative to say about Sean Combs because that was not his experience, and said that Diddy has been “misrepresented.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prosecutors have charged 40-year-old mom Shannon Tufuga with child kidnapping and aggravated child abuse after police say she snatched an 11-year-old off his bike and took him to her home.  Police say Tufuga then forced the child to apologize to her son for allegedly bullying him and threatened him with violence if he did it again. It appears Tufuga has lost her job with Provo City as a crossing guard and is now facing up to 10 years behind bars, but her attorney says there is a whole other side to this story and that the boys’ claims are “not accurate.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
