00:00:01
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio podcast. There everyone, and welcome to your Monday Morning Run. It is Monday, June first.

00:00:11
Speaker 2: I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ Holmes.

00:00:12
Speaker 3: Run This morning is going to take us the Fiji, d C, Paris, Iran, the DRC London, Laos, Walter Reed and Massachusetts. But Roadlet's kick things off in Iran.

00:00:22
Speaker 1: Yes, and the US once again carried what it's calling self defense strikes against Iranian targets. Iran said it retaliated by firing at a US air base.

00:00:32
Speaker 4: In the region.

00:00:32
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, this is still being called a ceasefire as negotiations continue toward a peace deal, one that President Trump so far doesn't appear to be happy with. A deal was reportedly reached by negotiators last week that the President was then mulling over but hasn't signed off on, and according to many reports, he has sent back notes. And the President also had a message for those criticizing his war strategy.

00:00:54
Speaker 2: Chill out, bro.

00:00:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wrote this on true social Iran really wants to make a deal and it will be a good one for the USA, say and those that are with us, but don't the Democrats and various seemingly unpatriotic Republicans understand that it is much tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate when political hacks keep negatively chirping at levels never seen before, over and over again that I should move faster or move slower, or go to war or not go to war or whatever.

00:01:27
Speaker 4: Just sit back and relax. It will all work out well in the end.

00:01:31
Speaker 1: It always does. He just told the American public to calm down.

00:01:35
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like he's been reading Michael Singer. All right, just just sit back, relax. It's all going to work out in the end.

00:01:41
Speaker 4: Just trust me. I've got this.

00:01:44
Speaker 2: It's continuing on the run here now.

00:01:45
Speaker 3: Next leg takes us to that cave in laoswear Over the weekend. All five of the missing villagers were rescued from that cave ten days after they went in looking for gold.

00:01:56
Speaker 1: There are still two men missing in cave. Rescuers say they plan to keep looking for them. They're going to go deeper into the cave to try and find them.

00:02:05
Speaker 4: Next up on our.

00:02:06
Speaker 1: Run, it takes us to Walter Reid, where President Trump had a physical last week.

00:02:10
Speaker 2: He'll remember Yeah.

00:02:11
Speaker 3: We now have the result, and according to the President, he is the healthiest man to ever walk the earth.

00:02:16
Speaker 2: He told us so in a truth social post.

00:02:18
Speaker 4: Here's what the President wrote.

00:02:20
Speaker 1: The results of my physical examination taking a Walter Reed Medical Center and just released were extremely good. Unlike other US presidents, none of whom have ever taken an approved, highly difficult cognitive test, I scored a perfect thirty out of thirty.

00:02:37
Speaker 4: Considered extreme intelligence. Are the Democrats really surprised?

00:02:42
Speaker 1: In fact, this is my fourth such test, all perfect or one hundred and twenty correct answers out of one hundred and twenty questions asked. It is very rare that anyone gets a perfect score, especially when achieved four times in a row.

00:02:58
Speaker 4: All people running for president and vice president.

00:03:00
Speaker 1: Should be forced to take high difficulty cognitive tests. Congress and the Democrats should demand it.

00:03:08
Speaker 2: That's so weird. It's so weird.

00:03:12
Speaker 3: It's rare for anyone to get a perfect score, especially four times in a row. It's that is so weird. Robes to be bragging about something like that.

00:03:22
Speaker 4: I don't understand.

00:03:23
Speaker 2: Okay, he's proud, so he the reason why I.

00:03:24
Speaker 4: Don't understand this because he's so much smarter than me. Only he can understand.

00:03:30
Speaker 2: Wow. See, I'm too dumb to even understand what you just said.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: But the doctor's memo said Trump is in excellent health and fit to serve some nuggets here. Heart rate seventy three beats per minute. Blood pressure one oh five over seventy one. I don't exactly know how healthy that is, but.

00:03:47
Speaker 4: That's a low blood pressure. It's not bad.

00:03:48
Speaker 1: I mean that's normal. I guess height six three, weight two thirty eight. By the way, that's up fourteen pounds from last year.

00:03:56
Speaker 2: That's a lot of weight gain in the years.

00:03:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you to put that over a couple of years, that is that does that's not going in the right direction. Doctors also said his cardiac age is fourteen years younger than his actual age.

00:04:10
Speaker 3: All right, continue on the run here. Now, there is excitement over a new cancer drug that in clinical trials doubled the survival time for people with advanced pancreatic cancer.

00:04:20
Speaker 2: This is a big deal.

00:04:22
Speaker 1: This is a huge headline. The drug is called diraxin racim. It works by blocking a protein that feeds tumor growth. Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest, with a five year survival rate of just over ten percent. This is exciting because anytime they can find a way to stop tumor growth, hopefully, possibly this could go beyond pancreatic cancer.

00:04:44
Speaker 2: That was my next question. All right, next leg of our run here. Now we're going to head to the DRC.

00:04:48
Speaker 3: Two weeks now after health officials declare the abola outbreak a public health emergency of international concern, the head of the World Health Organization said Sunday that the situation remains deeply alarming.

00:04:59
Speaker 1: He went on to say that the response has not yet caught up to the rapid spread of the epidemic, and this might be the most concerning part of what he said. Nobody knows the true scale and severity of this outbreak.

00:05:11
Speaker 4: He was saying.

00:05:11
Speaker 1: There are new cases that are reported daily, there are hundreds that remain untested. They just don't actually know what the numbers are.

00:05:19
Speaker 3: So with all that said, this is what we know as far as numbers go. At least two hundred and forty six suspected deaths, more than a thousand suspected cases concerned. Now, who wants to hear this that the disease may have left the continent of Africa.

00:05:33
Speaker 4: That's right.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: There are two suspected cases right now in Brazil. Two people who traveled separately from Africa. Africa are both exhibiting symptoms. One has initially tested negative, but it didn't seem like that made folks feel totally safe because it could just take a while for the test to be positive. Officials are still waiting on the test results for the second person, but both are quarantined and both are being monitored.

00:05:58
Speaker 3: All right, continue on the run here and now it's head to Massachusetts, where folks heard a loud boom this weekend that NASA now confirms was from an exploding meteor.

00:06:08
Speaker 1: That's alarming. It entered the atmosphere near Boston Saturday afternoon. People reported the loud boom, some saw a fireball in the sky.

00:06:17
Speaker 4: No injuries were reported, thankfully.

00:06:19
Speaker 3: Yes, some pieces might have survived jury and they said they might have ended up in Cape Cod Bay, so people might go a fishing.

00:06:25
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank god, there's a lot of water in the area for it to land in. Next up on the run, we had to Newark, specifically Newark International Airport, where a flight from Newark to MAJORCA had to turn around because of a security concern.

00:06:40
Speaker 3: The concern was that someone on the flight thought it'd be funny to name one of their Bluetooth devices something that certainly got attention and would scare the hell out of you. It was named bomb. The Bluetooth device could be found and it was named bomb. So the crew asked people to turn off their devices, but the thing was actually kept on. Video shows the flight attendant making announcements pleading with passengers to turn off their devices.

00:07:08
Speaker 1: Wow, the plane returns safely to Newark. The passengers were rescreened. No word on any arrests for that. Look, is it against the law and name your blue tooth device bomb?

00:07:19
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was.

00:07:20
Speaker 3: If it was to be a joke, how do you prove someone who names their device that it could have been in at Verden?

00:07:26
Speaker 2: Who knows?

00:07:27
Speaker 4: Rose that it's been like dub bomb or something.

00:07:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could have been some who knows, But that is wow scary. Continuing on the run here, now let's head to the National Mall. We have a new headliner for the Great American State Fair, Donald J. Trump, the man who, according to Donald J. Trump, gets bigger crowds than Elvis ever did in his Prime.

00:07:50
Speaker 1: Six out of the nine performers announced the big two fifty anniversary concert. Yeah, they announced they weren't going to be a part of it. So President Trump is now going to give a speech instead to kick off the event.

00:08:02
Speaker 4: Here's what he wrote.

00:08:03
Speaker 1: We should have a giant make America Great Again rally for two fifty instead of having overpriced singers who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain.

00:08:17
Speaker 4: Cancel it.

00:08:17
Speaker 2: That's too bad to hear that.

00:08:19
Speaker 3: The two hundred and fifty celebration of the country that supposed before the country he said, it's a make America Great Again rally rogues, it's just a political rally. Now, it's just this is just for him and his people. Is the announcement now? Floridea Vanela Ice Florida hasn't said anything still, but Vanilla Ice said he wants to perform. No word on if those concerts will go forward.

00:08:39
Speaker 4: All right.

00:08:39
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, we had to the box office where something unprecedented happened over the weekend. Two YouTuber directed films won the entire weekend.

00:08:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, back Rooms did Gangbusters. It was number one horror thriller made a stunning one hundred and eighteen million dollars worldwide.

00:08:57
Speaker 2: The film based on a YouTube.

00:08:59
Speaker 3: Series by a twenty year old named Cain Parson, who also directed This Thing. It just cost ten million dollars to make.

00:09:07
Speaker 1: Obsession, another indie horror film directed by a twenty six year old YouTuber, has now made over one hundred million dollars. And get this, it continues to go up every weekend since it opened. That has not been done since nineteen eighty two with ET. Movies just don't do this. They lose every week, and you're deemed a success by how little you lose. We never talk about three weekends in a row. Never a movie gaining EV viewers.

00:09:36
Speaker 3: Oh, this is the first time, Roes, in our lifetimes, you and I that this has happened. Wow, since we've been alive. This is the first time since ET did it in eighty two. All Right, we'll stay here on this Monday morning run. When we come back, the show ain't even started and someone has already been kicked out of the Love Island. Villa will explain. Also, I didn't even know Dualipa was engaged, but she is now married and robok is so excited about our two sports stories this morning, one having to do with the NBA Finals, the other having to do with the Front Open. She asked me to review her work before we did the story. We'll explain it there.

00:10:20
Speaker 1: Welcome back everyone to your Monday morning run and next up on the Run, wouldn't it be so.

00:10:25
Speaker 4: Nice for all of us just to that deffee?

00:10:27
Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to go there virtually where an Islander has been kicked out of the villa before the.

00:10:33
Speaker 4: New season of Love Island even premieres.

00:10:35
Speaker 3: Her name is Asana Montgomery, announced as a cast member last week, but soon after social media videos came to light in which she was using the N word. Two videos, one of them robes she was wrapping along to a song in a car and the other she was playing like an arcade with her friends and dropped it very casually.

00:10:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the second straight year An Islander has been dismissed for using the N word on a social media post.

00:11:01
Speaker 4: Season eight of.

00:11:02
Speaker 1: The hit Peacock Shows show premieres tomorrow and we will all be watching all right next up on the Run. Congratulations are in order for singer Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner. The two got married Sunday at London's Old Marlebuon Town Hall with a small group of family and friends.

00:11:21
Speaker 3: The two started dating in January of twenty twenty four. We're engaged last year and according to Vogue magazine, the intimate ceremony is just the start of a three day event. It's going to take place in Sicily. This is what people you don't just It's not just one wedding and one day and in the night party, it's the whole weekend of stuff.

00:11:37
Speaker 1: Now, well, I think it's fun when you have a destination wedding. They get married at city Hall basically, and then they go on and she apparently, I mean they looked viewed.

00:11:44
Speaker 4: I saw some pictures. They looked very appropriate and dapper.

00:11:48
Speaker 1: But they say, like the big gown and all the big that's all happening in Italy.

00:11:53
Speaker 4: Nice, very exciting.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: Congrats. I'll continue on the run here.

00:11:56
Speaker 1: Now.

00:11:57
Speaker 3: This year's French Open has become what Mani sports analysts are called the wild is and most unpredictable Grand Slam in recent history. So as we begin the second week of competition, there will be we can say for sure, a first time champion because there are no previous champs left on the men's of the women's single side.

00:12:17
Speaker 1: Yes, so Novak Djokovic, Janick Center, Coco Goff, and four time French Open.

00:12:23
Speaker 2: Champ Egas Sciatech.

00:12:25
Speaker 4: They're all out.

00:12:26
Speaker 1: And here is a highlight for later today, the highly anticipated match between number one.

00:12:31
Speaker 2: Seed Mariana Saplenka and.

00:12:33
Speaker 1: Naomi Osaka, who's reached the fourth round for the first time.

00:12:37
Speaker 4: So that's pretty cool.

00:12:38
Speaker 1: And I asked you to to check my work because I didn't recognize any of the remaining names other than Osaka, and I was confused, like I was reading all of these articles about who won what, blah blah, and I was glazing over. So I was like, if I missed anything, let me know, because tennis isn't necessarily my jam when those names are really hard to print it.

00:12:56
Speaker 3: It was a wild, wild weekend, folks. It was fun to want but disappointing to see Coco go out and look Yonic Center went out and he's another one player in the world and the.

00:13:04
Speaker 2: Heat got to him.

00:13:05
Speaker 4: I understood that.

00:13:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, I continue on the run here now we're gonna last leg is in San Antonio. The Spurs set to host the Knicks in Game one of the NBA Finals this week. San Antonio beat the defending champ Oklahoma City Thunder over the weekend to secure their place in the finals. Of course, your favorite player plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
