Hey, everybody, it is Monday, August 31st. You're listening to the Mo News Podcast. I'm Moshe Oinounou.

**Jill Wagner** (0:09)
And I am Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (0:13)
And where we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. Jill, it turns out you may soon be able to fly into Dolly Parton International Airport.

**Jill Wagner** (0:22)
That is right. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and the CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority both say that they are in favor of a name change for the airport. It's expected to come up at the authorities meeting next month. And actually long before Parton died Tuesday at the age of 80, fans as early as January of last year started an online petition. They were calling for Nashville International Airport to officially be renamed in her honor. And it did get some renewed attention following Parton's death.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (0:55)
So I can't imagine this not happening. This seems like a near certainty given how beloved she was across the global spectrum, across the country and around the world here. What's notable here is that if they put Dolly Parton's name, it will be the first name of a woman adorning one of America's 50 busiest airports. And so that would be one of the achievements here. Now there have been several entertainers and figures from sports who have gotten their names on airports in recent years. You have Muhammad Ali International over in Louisville, Kentucky.
You have John Wayne Airport in Orange County. You have Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans.
Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City. For a while you had Bob Hope Airport in Burbank as well.
So while there has been a lot of attention given to Trump's name going on Palm Beach Airport and a lot of airports named after presidents, there are a few named after entertainers. And Dolly appears like she will get her due.

**Jill Wagner** (1:49)
All right, let's get to some headlines here. President Trump announces the biggest oil deal in history and promises that it will lower gas prices. This would give the US major control of vast Venezuelan energy reserves.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (2:02)
But there are major questions about when, if ever, some of this oil will ever become available and refinable given the extent of the collapse of Venezuelan oil infrastructure over the years. And the gas price impact is promised here might not be seen for a number of years if at all.

**Jill Wagner** (2:18)
In tech news, some new investigations on OpenAI's AI agents launching an unauthorized cyber attack against the company last month. We told you about this. It was when OpenAI agents went rogue.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (2:30)
Yeah, this is like the nightmare scenario. AI bots breaking free, joining forces with one another, discussing with one another that, hey, should we tell humans and them saying no? We'll tell you the details here and why this incident may be a warning of what comes next and what AI companies, some of whom developed this technology, are warning about.

**Jill Wagner** (2:51)
More flash flooding this time in the Grand Canyon. Dozens have been evacuated as a wall of water wiped out trails this weekend. To Pennsylvania, officials have reported the first measles-related deaths in 35 years. There are questions, though, about whether the virus actually killed those two people and it's ignited a political fight.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:12)
Right, did they die of the measles or die with the measles? Sort of a revival of some of the COVID debates we're having several years ago. We'll have the details.

**Jill Wagner** (3:20)
Less than two weeks until the 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9-Eleven, Canada's national broadcaster initially barred reporters from calling 9-Eleven a terrorist attack. The broadcaster is now reversing itself. We'll tell you what this is all about. Do you have nightmares when you sleep? Some new research says they actually could lead to an earlier death.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:42)
One of the more intriguing studies that just came up.

**Jill Wagner** (3:45)
And a debate over being an empty nester, Michelle Obama versus Jon Stewart, and a clip that has gone viral.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (3:52)
Yeah, this was a subject of the discussion we had over on the Mo News premium page over the weekend. The audience had a lot of thoughts.
A number of people on Team Michelle, some people on Team Jon. We'll explain what that all means.

**Jill Wagner** (4:03)
And Mosheh is on this day in history.

**Mosheh Oinounou** (4:06)
Jill, a big birthday for your favorite sporting event, if not your favorite, one of your favorite sporting events.
