00:00:01
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast.

00:00:05
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Ron.

00:00:08
Speaker 1: It is Thursday, July ninth, or as we like to call it here, Friday Eve.

00:00:14
Speaker 3: I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ. Holmes. Supposed to be well rested on this Friday Eve, given there was no World Cup yesterday, there was no Love Island. Do we sound maybe, folks listening, do we sound a little more upbeat? Do we sound like we.

00:00:28
Speaker 1: Got more in?

00:00:29
Speaker 2: I think so. I got a seventy eight.

00:00:31
Speaker 1: On my sleep score last night. I know it's the best one I've had in a very long time.

00:00:35
Speaker 2: Thank you, no Love Island, Thank you no World Cuff.

00:00:39
Speaker 3: But we're back at it today France Monico of Morocco rather than Monico France Morocco. It's going to be playing later and Love Island is back tonight. Somebody getting kicked off tonight, Someone's.

00:00:52
Speaker 2: Gonna kicked off tomorrow night.

00:00:53
Speaker 3: We gotta get getting kicked off, gotta get rid of too. Thank goodness, that's on a Friday, so we don't have to do Morning Run on Saturday morning. But looking forward to all that. Wherever you may be on this Friday Eve, hope you are having a good one. But all in the morning, Ron, we're gonna be making stopped in Boston and Maine, in New Jersey and Michigan and Arizona, as well as in Argentina. But we need to start Robes. Tell me, are we back at war or not?

00:01:18
Speaker 1: Apparently yes, the United States has completed a second straight day of strikes against Iran. Sencam says the US hit ninety Iranian targets overnight meant to further degrade Iran's ability to attack ships in the Strait of Hormones.

00:01:33
Speaker 3: So, of course, Iran says it retaliated by firing on US military installations in Kuwait and Bakraine. The new US strikes came on a day when President Trump said he believes a ceasefire as well as the newly signed Memorandum of Understanding are overbes. This sent it's sent markets in certain directions, and it sent the world kind of reeling like, oh, my goodness, he just said it's over. We're back at war.

00:01:57
Speaker 1: Ah. Yes, and then he later backtracked a bit, saying that it would be up to the negotiators to decide if a deal could be reached, but he obviously added some insults hurled, some insults at Iranian leaders, per usual, like the scum remark yes, yes, exactly. Next up on the run, President Trump ditched his new Air Force one and then switched back to the old plane for part of his trip to the NATO summit in Turkey. The New York Times is reporting that that switch was made for security reasons.

00:02:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's not what the President was saying when he was asked about it at the time. Says the Secret Service recommended the plane and the President not fly out of Turkey out of an abundance of caution. Now, a White House spokesperson later said, quote, there are many enemies of America who have sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal, including distraction and misdirection, to address those threats. Robes. That sounds pretty clear that they say, hey, there's something going on. He's in Turkey a lot closer to Iran than he would be if he was Washington, DC. That sounds clearly they did something they.

00:03:02
Speaker 1: Thought that was some kind of threat and that okay, yeah, so they switched planes. But then when President Trump was specifically asked about this, he said the US was sending the new plane to a US base in the region so service members could tour it.

00:03:17
Speaker 3: Nobody was buying that. It didn't make a lot of.

00:03:18
Speaker 2: Sense, Like, why would he say that?

00:03:20
Speaker 1: Did he know that his people had already put out a.

00:03:23
Speaker 2: Very very different statement.

00:03:25
Speaker 1: So The Times reports that sources say the switch was absolutely made out of an abundance of caution because the new plane does.

00:03:34
Speaker 2: Not have all the features of the old.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound right. Why that doesn't sound right.

00:03:39
Speaker 1: Why would they not have put the security measures in place in the new plane before putting President Trump in it?

00:03:45
Speaker 3: Well, here you go. It's the same problem with the reflecting pool, right, And he's telling everybody this has to be done in a hurry, and you can't get it done completely and correctly if you're doing it so quickly. This is criticism from Democrats, some people on the Hill and security expert. Look, this is the president, no matter what we need him to be. Okay, Rose, this is crazy to think there was some security shore. I think I cannot imagine. That just doesn't sound right.

00:04:08
Speaker 2: There's no way that he was on a.

00:04:10
Speaker 3: Plane that doesn't have all the security features it, or.

00:04:13
Speaker 1: That he would switch planes to let service members tour it.

00:04:17
Speaker 2: That makes zero sense.

00:04:18
Speaker 1: So yes, President Trump left Turkey on the old Air Force one, flew to a military base in the United Kingdom, and then got on the new Air Force one to fly home.

00:04:29
Speaker 2: Clearly something else was going on. We're just probably never going to know, all right.

00:04:33
Speaker 3: I continue on the run here now, And as expected, Democrat Graham Platner dropped out of the race for Senate in Maine after two former girlfriends came forward this week accusing him of sexual assault. But robes he says that is not why he's getting out of the race.

00:04:49
Speaker 1: No, he says very differently, he's blaming members of his own party. In an eleven minute video post to social media, Platner emphasized that his decision to get out of the race was not an admission of guilt, but rather, he said he was being forced out by the democratic establishment. He made that very very clear. He railed against state and national leaders. Democrats now have until the twenty seventh to find his replacement.

00:05:16
Speaker 3: What's the count you have? I've seen at least maybe six that raised the continuing on the run here now, and health officials are warning about a new outbreak and it's nasty, because all the headlines will tell you that it is a diarrhea causing parasite robes. That's the outbreaking.

00:05:34
Speaker 1: Wasn't explosive used in all of the headlines I've seen.

00:05:37
Speaker 3: Keep reading.

00:05:38
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's called cyclist fora I've heard about this a lot from my father. He's a microbiologist and has warned me about this specific parasite. At least one thousand people have been infected in Michigan.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: That is because we've been seeing these headlines for a while.

00:05:53
Speaker 1: By the way, so today's the day we decided to actually include it in Morning run. I know that because yes, well that's a much bigger number than it's been. But they're also looking into cases in at least twenty eight other states. They don't know the source of the parasitic infections, which causes watery diarrhea, and the illness is not usually fatal, thankfully, but it's spread when someone eats fruits and vegetables that had been washed with or had been exposed to contaminated water. This is how the CDC explains what cyclospora is.

00:06:27
Speaker 3: Here is your explosive comment that you were looking for. This is directly quoted from the CDC. Cyclospora infects the small intestine the bowel and usually causes watery diarrhea with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements. If not treated, the illness may last from a few days to over a month. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times, and they have in parentheses relapse. You can have a diarrhea relapse. What the actual hell?

00:07:01
Speaker 1: Uh?

00:07:02
Speaker 3: So, look, it's not fatal, but some people have had was it forty or it might have been up to forty that had to be hospitalized because of this. So look, it's even though it's not fatal, it doesn't mean it's not serious. It doesn't mean it's not uncomfortable.

00:07:15
Speaker 2: Absolutely, oh my goodness.

00:07:16
Speaker 1: And yes you have to have you have to be concerned about dehydration. So that's why the hospitalizations occur. You got to get treated, you have to have ivy fluids. But this is no fun for anyone. Let's just hope they can figure out what the source is. They don't know the big issue, right, woh all?

00:07:32
Speaker 2: Right?

00:07:32
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, more people just got charged for allegedly damaging the DC reflecting pool. The three are accused of trying to tear a piece of that now infamous blue coating on the pool late last month.

00:07:46
Speaker 2: They're charged with.

00:07:46
Speaker 1: Destruction of property, which is a misdemeanor punishable by one thousand dollars fine and up to six months in jail. And that's a far cry from what our former Olympian that we've been talking so much about, David Davey Hearn. He was charged with a felony. His what they claim was he pulled up a two by two square, So this must the other folks must have pulled up a smaller section.

00:08:07
Speaker 3: I don't know, or maybe they didn't do it violently like Janine Piro said he did. Oh my goodness, continuing on the run here now, court yesterday denied a request I didn't know they were keep they were still asking, But the Kennedy Center folks asked a court to let them put Trump's name back on the building.

00:08:25
Speaker 1: Well, that's why the that's why the the tarp, because they're hoping they can.

00:08:29
Speaker 2: Put it back up before they have to take the.

00:08:31
Speaker 3: Tarp down and nobody will ever have to see it without his name on it. Going on all right? The Center had requested that they'd be allowed to put his name back on the building as they go through the appeal process. The judges said no now, and they didn't see that any irreparable harm would be done if his name was not on the building. So it's still down, but the tarp is still up. Ropes I can't remember, but it's coming up. A judge gave them a deadline to explain why the tarp was still up, and ah, that's supposed to be coming pretty soon, certainly this month. But they still need to explain why.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: This is ridiculous.

00:09:04
Speaker 1: The judge actually had to say they didn't see how it would cause irreparable harm if his name isn't on the building. They're saying because they're going to lose funding.

00:09:13
Speaker 3: They can only make money because people only want to donate to the Trump Center, not to Kennedy.

00:09:18
Speaker 1: The harm is only inflicted upon his ego. Let's be honest here, all right. Next up on the run, let's stay in Trump news. The woman who accused President Trump of sexual abuse can finally get her money. A judge ruled yesterday that the five point eight million dollars that is currently sitting in escrow can be released to e Jene Carroll.

00:09:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, jury gave her this money, awarded her this money, I should say. In twenty twenty three, after finding Trump liable for a nineteen ninety six attack in a department store dressing room, Trump tried a last minute appeal to keep the money from being paid out. That was denied. He of course, Robes has denied any wrongdoing in this case. But a jury thought otherwise. Five point eight million, It was five The point eight is interest. It's been sitting there all this time. She's been waiting three years to get this money.

00:10:07
Speaker 2: Goodness all right.

00:10:08
Speaker 1: Next up on the Run, a wild story out of Arizona. We're gonna talk more about this later this morning. If this story catches your interest. There's a toddler who was declared dead and then was found very much alive in the morgue.

00:10:22
Speaker 2: We're talking about.

00:10:23
Speaker 1: An eighteen month old who was found unresponsive in a backyard pool, and this little guy was pronounced dead.

00:10:30
Speaker 3: But then five hours later, when the medical examiner showed up to transport the child's body from the morgue, they found the kid breathing. Now, Robes, when I first saw this, I thought this was just a fluke thing. One of these odd medical occurrences, right, that happened every once in a while. But Rob's been reading about the story. This had to do with medical arrogance almost.

00:10:50
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it gets wild. How does this happen?

00:10:55
Speaker 1: Well, the police report said that the parents and police questioned medical personnel about whether the child was actually deceased. They informed the hospital staff that they heard the child gasping for air, but hospital staff dismissed it as a normal process of air and gas leaving the body.

00:11:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the doctor then gets involved. The doctor is the one that officially declared the child dead. That doctor was the one that said they should stop life saving treatment. So the doctor, according to this police report, got an attitude with the officers for challenging him at all. According to the report, the doctor, and this is a quote, arrogantly told the officer he was a doctor, he has a medical degree, he went to medical school for a reason, and to let him do his thing.

00:11:42
Speaker 2: Damn, And turns out the child was alive.

00:11:46
Speaker 1: Damn.

00:11:47
Speaker 2: Ah whoo, all.

00:11:48
Speaker 1: Right, the incident happened earlier this year, but we are just now hearing about it because the police report was just recently released. But this is a wild story. And yes, we will have much more on this coming up later this morning.

00:12:00
Speaker 3: And we do need to note rogue the kid is okay, but say he's gonna need therapy. Don't know how long, physical therapy of some kind. So don't exactly know the condition of the kid. I mean, the kid essentially drowned, was in the pool, but was alive. Ropes this story. I would love to hear more. Is there some medical malpractice involved in this?

00:12:17
Speaker 2: I would only imagine a lawsuit is coming man.

00:12:20
Speaker 3: All right, well, stay with us folks here on this Friday Eve run. You think that was a wild story, Another really wild story coming out of Argentina where a student pilot was left to fly and land on her own. You're not gonna believe why. Also, we told you no love I landed no World Cup yesterday, but we're back at it today for the World Cup. The Elite eight kicks off. Meanwhile, one of the teams that didn't make the Elite eight has filed an official complaint with FEF.

00:12:56
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your Friday Eve morning run.

00:12:58
Speaker 1: This is one of the craziest stories I have ever heard. All Right, a student pilot was forced to land a plane on her own after her instructor reportedly jumped out of the plane in the middle of the training flight, not making this outen.

00:13:18
Speaker 3: This the instructor was forty two years old, the student was twenty two years old. Now going to authorities, The instructor was at the controls at the time, told the student, quote, you know what you have to do, then took off the headset, opened the door and jumped.

00:13:33
Speaker 2: Bros.

00:13:33
Speaker 3: Can you imagine being that student? Can you imagine?

00:13:37
Speaker 1: Cause not only would you feel the pressure obviously to land the plane and try to hope that you had, you know, all of that muscle memory ready to go, but the shock and fest of seeing a person sitting right next to you leap to their death. He died by suicide, that is what by all accounts, that is what happened.

00:13:55
Speaker 2: He chose to end his life right there.

00:13:58
Speaker 1: So just to deal with the emotional response like the panic, the horror, and to have to keep your wits about you and rely on whatever training. Hopefully she had enough training. I mean she did. She was able to land safely, but just to do it under that kind of pressure is unimaginable.

00:14:16
Speaker 3: And they are investigating. Again, these are very weird circumstances. They did find his body later, but they said they at least the folks he worked with, didn't see any signs of anything like this. But to choose to do it that way, that was, Look, you take your own life for whatever reason that was. That was pretty horrible to do that to that young man. Horrific.

00:14:34
Speaker 1: And apparently he had been on a flight earlier that day with another statement and had operated normally, so they had no reason to believe he had any suicidal ideations.

00:14:43
Speaker 3: But applaud again, keep your wits about you to do that. That was a big thing.

00:14:47
Speaker 2: My goodness. All right.

00:14:48
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, the Elite eight World Cup petition gets under weigh today.

00:14:53
Speaker 2: I know you are excited about Morocco. I'm excited, but I'd say you're.

00:14:59
Speaker 3: A There's some athletes robes and maybe in your life as well, that it doesn't matter who they're playing. If they're playing I will watch, I think Johnny Manziel, think of your Serena Williams, the certain Michael Jordan. Doesn't matter who they're playing. If they're on TV, I'm watching mbope. Is that see that? Even you were talking about the TJ you're excited and the first thing embappe you know imbape, everyone knows is unbelievable. Yes, Frans going against Morocco, this is a top ten matchup. Morocco is damn good. They have been for a while. But the schedule now roads have been. There were four matches the day for a little while, but now it's one game today, one game tomorrow and then two on Saturday. Is the schedule. So just wants you to know how much time you'll have with your.

00:15:43
Speaker 2: Friends, all right.

00:15:44
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Egypt, which lost in dramatic fashion to Argentina this week, has filed an official complaint with FIFA over the officiating, which they believe cost them the game, and a lot of people who are watching the Two of Us included.

00:15:58
Speaker 2: Kind of agree.

00:16:00
Speaker 1: Lost three to two, but led to zero at one point before giving up giving up three goals in the last eleven minutes of the match.

00:16:07
Speaker 3: Now, the Egyptian Football Federation put out a statement saying quote it could not remain silent. They accused FIFA of a double standard, requested that the referees from the game be kicked out of the rest of the World Cup robes. Look, we're not going to go back, but This is once again an issue with var the video assisted referee. If it was used properly on a foul, they had a goal taken away or the back of what. We're not getting all into that, butte they do have a legitimate gripe about the inconsistency of some of the officiations.

00:16:39
Speaker 1: Yes, because a lot of people would argue based on the double standard that seems to have been potentially been put in place, it would have been a tie based on what we saw, and.

00:16:51
Speaker 3: Again it would change the flow of the game. You don't even know what that means. You'll never know how the outcome is going to be. So the accusation robes is that, yes, FIFA loves me, this is his last run. They're the number one team, they're a big draw. Let's do everything we can to keep him in the tournament.

00:17:06
Speaker 2: Do you believe that goes on after.

00:17:09
Speaker 3: Watching the game? Yeah, I'm not dismissing anybody who makes that argument after watching this. It's just inconsistency ropes in the officiating. That's they wait four years for this and some of these folks don't ever get a chance, and you can't have this. The game at the end was ugly it was.

00:17:25
Speaker 2: It was so awful, red cards flying.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: The Egyptians were so pissed and I didn't know. I didn't realize at the time, but you remember the coach. We said, what is he doing? He put his arms up and made an ex gesture. That is the FIFA official anti racism gesture. Wow, they use that to put it up to signal no racism. He is absolutely making that charge in the middle of the game and one of the most watched games of the tournament. So World Cup's great, but man, it's passionate.

00:17:57
Speaker 2: It is man for entire countries.

00:18:00
Speaker 1: All Right, one more World Cup note as we end our morning run.

00:18:04
Speaker 2: This is the final leg.

00:18:06
Speaker 1: This will be the first year that the World Cup Final will include, Yes, a halftime show. This is some exciting stuff and the names do not disappoint.

00:18:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, we knew they had. They had announced Shakira was going to be there, Madonna is going to be that's you can't get bigger than these two. Then they added Bts. I'm like, holy hell, he really can't get bigger than this. And then I heard they added somebody. I'm like, who the hell are they gonna get to match that stardom? They kind of did. It's gonna be Justin Bieber.

00:18:34
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

00:18:34
Speaker 3: That is actually kind of awesome since he got past his adolescent phase, I've been I love this guy. I love his music, I love what he's done. I love his relationship. I love his wife. I love all that they're doing, and I love that they're still together with all the tabloid foolishness. Who knows what's actually going on. I'm rooting for this dude and his wife.

00:18:55
Speaker 1: That will be very fun to watch. We will absolutely be watching. That's the next The final is next Saturday.

00:19:02
Speaker 3: The nineteenth, Yeah, right, the Sunday, I.

00:19:04
Speaker 1: Think Sunday, Next Sunday, okay, week from Sunday, all right. And on this Friday Eve, we have our quote of the day. You know what, It's Friday Eve. It's kind of a festive fun. I kept it light, all right.

00:19:14
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that.

00:19:15
Speaker 1: I need that buy the good bed and the good shoes. You spend your entire life in one or the other, so the cheap version quietly steals from you every day.

00:19:25
Speaker 3: That's great. You think of the stuff we invest in, spend all spend. What do you spend most of your time? I'll get an expensive couch. Yeah, that's what you do.

00:19:33
Speaker 1: Buy the good bed and the good shoes. You spend your entire life and one or the other. So the cheap version quietly steals from you every single day.

00:19:43
Speaker 2: Ain't that the truth?

00:19:43
Speaker 3: What else do you use all the time that you should invest in?

00:19:46
Speaker 2: Shoot sheets?

00:19:47
Speaker 1: You should always have really nice sheets, a really nice mattress, really nice shoes. In that sense, if you think about where you spend most of your time and what we tend to invest in, are the silly things that are fleeting those Actually you are great investments in just making your life a little better.

00:20:04
Speaker 3: Cheap sheets are the worst.

00:20:06
Speaker 1: Man horrible mattresses where you can feel the spring. And then don't even get me started about cheap shoes because I spent most of my life in them, at least growing up.

00:20:15
Speaker 2: And man, it's it's blisters are a problem.

00:20:19
Speaker 3: Even though the last shoes that caused the problem with some designer that cost to warn.

00:20:24
Speaker 2: Them again that was the biggest waste of my money. Ever.

00:20:28
Speaker 3: Yes, stick with the.

00:20:30
Speaker 1: Learned that desire sneakers are more uncomfortable than still let.

00:20:34
Speaker 3: Us because they're not meant for comfort, They're meant for the red carpet, and let's get out of here, all.

00:20:39
Speaker 2: Right, all right with that everyone, thank you for running with.

00:20:42
Speaker 3: Us, and I'm t J. Holmes. We'll run soon in comfortable shoes.
