Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, This is your Morning Run for Thursday, August seventh.
I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Holmes. And we probably should have told you all earlier
in the week that we have been recording these from
an undisclosed location. We got out of town a little
bit and we have been recording these on the deck
of a nice home surrounded by nature. So our audio
guy told us yesterday, Hey, I think I heard a
truck in the background, maybe.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
In air airplanes.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, so we didn't give you a heads up, but
a little background noise there courtesy of nature. Right now,
as we've been recording these on a deck, I prefer
doing this.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yes, it's nice. Hopefully the audio is not too confusing.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yes, But good morning to you all, and on the
run this morning. As soldier is in custody today after
opening fire on his own unit at Fort Stewart injuring
five of his fellow soldiers.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
A cancel dinner or a dinner that never was, a
war of words has erupted between CNN and the White
House about a dinner that didn't happen to reportedly discuss
what to do about the Jeffrey Epstein Galen Maxwell saga.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Also, after many delays and with much anticipation and some dread,
Trump's tariffs finally go into effect today. Also, United Airlines
is recovering today after a tech issue forced a ground
stop for thousands of planes last night. And one hundred
degree temperatures are hindering the efforts of thousands of firefighters
(01:30):
trying to battle the largest fire of the year in California.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And a new study shows just how unhealthy American eating
habits truly are, and the numbers are truly alarming. Plus,
the world has lost Latin jazz legend. We've been listening
to them all morning long.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Eddie Palmieri also on the run this morning, a dangerous
midwinter Antarctic mission sent a crew into sub zero temperatures
and complete darkness. They're trying to rescue three ress who
needed immediate, immediate medical attention.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, it is a harrowing story, but it does have
a happy ending, and we'll get to that in just
a moment. But we begin our run in Georgia, where
five soldiers are recovering this morning after a shooting at
Fort Stewart there, and authorities say a fellow soldier is responsible.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yes, Sergeant Cornelius Radford, twenty eight years old, is in
custody this morning, facing a court martial after allegedly taking
his personal handgun onto base yesterday morning and shooting five
soldiers from his unit. Fort Stewart is one of the
largest bases in the US, and it was in lockdown
for a short time after reports of an active shooter
(02:40):
on base.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Other soldiers took down the shooter, and authorities have not
yet identified a motive. All of those who were injured
were listed thankfully in stable condition and are all expected
to make full recoveries.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
We continue on the run now with a high level
dinner at jd Vance's house to discuss the Epstein saga.
It was canceled last night. Jd Vance's reaction what dinner.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The White House and CNN are at odds over a
story that had DC and Epstein watchers buzzing. Yesterday, CNN
reported that a number of top Trump officials were going
to meet for dinner at the VP's residence to discuss
the ongoing Epstein story and the administration's response to it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Scheduled to attend this meeting, according to CNN, Attorney General
Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, FBI Director Cash Bttel,
and White House Chief of Staff Susane Wiles. That's a
who's who of power brokers in this administration. President Trump
was asked about the meeting yesterday, and when he was
asked in front of reporters, Vance happened to be standing
(03:45):
right next to him. So Trump said he didn't know
about the meeting, but said to the reporters, maybe you
should ask him. Turned and said, here's the man right here.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So he turned it over to Vance, who said, it's
completely fake news. We're not meeting to talk about the
Epstein situation, and I think the reporter who reported it
needs to get better sources. His office also put out
a statement that said the CNN story is pure fiction.
There was never supposed to be a meeting scheduled at
the Vice President's residence to discuss Epstein strategy.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Who you got on this one? Who you got because
they came out strong and so there wasn't even the meeting.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, and CNN has not back down either and said no,
absolutely there was a dinner. It just got canceled when
the White House found out that we found out about it.
Who you got, I'm gonna go with CNN.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh wow, Okay, I was just curious. I don't know
who I got on this one. Just the language. There
was never a supposed meeting scheduled at the Vice President's residence.
Maybe it was scheduled for an outback steakhouse, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Correct Or maybe yes, who knows a tented backyard meeting.
You never know. It's all in the details, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Continuing on the run now, and they are finally in
the fact. Those tariffs, yes, much anticipated, somewhat delayed, often revised,
and soundly dreaded Liberation Day tariffs. They kicked in at
midnight last night.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The presidents celebrated with a short and simple message riding
on true social At midnight, the money started flowing into
the United States. The tariffs impact just about every US
trading partner, with new taxes that range between ten to
forty percent.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
All right. Continuing on the run now with United Airlines.
The airline is flying again after issuing a nationwide ground
stopped last night because of a technical issue. A thousand
flights were impacted with delays and cancelations.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
The issue started around six pm last night when United
said there was a technology issue. What was the problem?
A malfunction with its unimatic system. What is that, you asked?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Something I'd never heard of, but sounds pretty damn important.
It's a system that holds critical data on each flight,
and in particular, it's used to calculate the proper weight
and balance of the aircraft. Again, never heard of. It
sounds critically important. The problem was resolved after a few hours,
but that didn't mean immediately things got back to running smoothly.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That's right. The damage was done to a lot of
folks travel schedules already, and the delays are expected today
as well as the airline works to get back on schedule.
It's always tough the day after something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
All right, we keep running here on this Thursday morning.
The California heat wave is hampering efforts now to contain
what has become the state's largest fire of the year.
It's called the Giffert Fire. It's injured four people, burn
more than ninety one thousand acres, only nine percent contained
at this point.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's right, And there are more than two thousand firefighters
battling displays through rough terrain and now, yeah, ninety to
one hundred degree daily temperatures. More than a thousand structures
are threatened right now by this wildfire, and evacuation orders
remain in place for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I really perked up. They say the largest of the
year in California. You go back. We still had to
remember we're in the same year of those devastating fires.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yes, they just so in California happened in a more
populated area, so there was more destruction, but the fires
weren't as large.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Wow. All right. We continue on the run now with
a new study and it is revealing a disturbing trend
in how American children and adults are eating these days.
Bro was just reading that first line. You almost want
to brace yourself, right, Uh oh, how bad? The CDC
released a report that shows sixty two percent of kids
and teens daily calories come from ultra processed foods. So
(07:37):
that's not just more than had that's sixty two percent
of kids.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
And teens daily calories come from all that crap. And
guess what. Adults weren't much better. Fifty three percent of
our calories come from ultra processed foods, so that's still
more than half. Think about that. The top sources of
ultra processed foods sandwiches like hamburgers, hot dogs, pbn j's,
followed by baked goods, so all the sweet stuff. Then
(08:03):
salty snacks and sugary drinks. That's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You know, I'm asking what is the difference. I hear
about processed foods, but what goes into that other category?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well to make it ultra the HHS is trying to
define it right now. But what I just listed so
it's just basically as unhealthy as it gets.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh, the worst of the worst, the worst of the worst. Okay, well, yes,
HHS Secretary rfkh and your hast said curbing the intake
of ultra processed foods is one of his top issues, says,
leading to an epidemic of childhood chronic diseases along with
weight gain, depression, type two diabetes, early death. The study
acknowledged that parents tend to buy ultra processed foods for
(08:41):
their kids because they're easy to throw in a school
lunch bag, and with all the marketing to kids, they've
become the most profitable products in the market. And I
assume they're not that expensive, so you're telling me they're cheap,
they are accessible, they're convenience.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And they're marketed to kids who then are begging their
parents to buy such products. So that's all combining. All
those factors are combining to what were the stage we're
in right now. I was always told the healthiest way
to go into a supermarket is to only shop the outside.
If you go into the interior aisles, all of that
pretty much is unhealthy. So you want to be in
(09:19):
the produce and the fresh meats and the fresh refrigerated items.
Those are the things that are not as processed. All
the aisles in the middle ultra processed foods.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So that's a funny general Well I've heard you say
that before. But the idea, generally, the refrigerators, everything refrigerated
goes along the edges of the store. Created Usually the
first thing you walk in, was it the produce, Yes,
right there, to the right, yes, exactly know the chips
an aisle seven?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
All right, folks will stay with us here. All those
stores they warning run an absolute legend, and absolute legend
who was actually credited with almost creating a whole new
genre that we all love the music world has lost
a dear, dear delight of a musician to stay with
us for that, and also a daring mission is taking place.
(10:09):
So it's what below zero temperatures and you can't see anything?
What's worth this?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
We'll explain Before we go to break. I have to
tell you about new leggings I've been living in lately.
They're from this brand called Toona and fun fact here,
they were actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon,
so from that alone, you already know they're going to
be pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin.
They're super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've
(10:39):
been wearing them on my warning runs and they've quickly
become my everyday lounging leggings too. And here's what makes
them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a
mental health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's
on a mission to end teen suicide and self harm,
which we think is so important and incredible, So we've
partnered with Tona to give you twenty percent off your

Welcome back to this Friday Eve edition of Your Morning Rona.
(11:22):
Next up on the Run, we're talking about a trailblazer,
a pioneer, a revolutionary, and a legend. Those are the
words being repeated about Latin musician Eddie Palmieri after news
that the Grammy winning artists had passed away at the
age of eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Grobes we am Oftentimes musicians, artists, people pass and they're
often nice things said about them and credits to their career,
and they list all their accolades. This has been in
researching him, the words used about him. I haven't quite
seen this collection heaped on one guy universally now, Palmieri
(11:57):
is credited with creating a whole new style and sound
in Latin music, blending jazz and Afro Caribbean sounds to
make a unique type of Latin jazz, while also helping
to define what Latin music is, what Latin sound is.
And the Latin Recording Academy put it this way, said
he is a pioneer of salsa, a visionary of Latin jazz,
(12:19):
and an eternal revolutionary of rhythm.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
A revolutionary rhythm. I like that and We've been listening
to his music and it put me in such a
good mood.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I saw.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I know we are kind of on vacation, we're on
a work vacation here with our family, but it made
me feel just happy and care free. I mean it, really,
it was transcendent while I was working, so I appreciate that. Now.
By the way, Paumiri is the first Latino to ever
win a Grammy award. Did not know that, and is
considered one of the most influential Latin musicians ever, which
(12:50):
is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I what a career and it just if that should
be the goal. Can anybody say anything that beautiful about
you when you pass a pioneer of salt, visionary of
live music, eternal revolutionary.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Of a rhythm. No one's going to say that about me.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I'm going to try to put some words together, all right.
The final leg of our run here now, this one
takes us to Antarctica, so bundle up, where a daring
and dangerous rescue took place. Three researchers at the us
mcmertle station needed medical attention, and one of them needed
what was described as urgent medical care.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So the Royal New Zealand Air Force set out on
a daunting twenty hour medical emergency rescue mission where the
crew had to deal with extreme cold, landing on ice
in complete darkness, with rapidly changing weather conditions. Yes, it's
winter in Antarctica right now, so the folks on the ground,
the United States Antarctic Program Winter Team had to physically
(13:50):
create a runway by hand grooming the ice before this
crew was able to land.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is incredible. The Air Force crew flew through the
night wearing vision goggles, eventually landed safely short time. Just
a short time on the ground. The crew had to
keep the engines running while refueling to make sure they
didn't freeze, the process known as hot fueling, and was
only on the ground long enough to evacuate the three researchers.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Now, the medical conditions of those researchers has not been released,
but we do know they made it to christ Church,
New Zealand. They're all being treated at a hospital there,
so they're all doing well. But one of the reasons,
and you think about this, it's so dangerous. You know,
it's complete darkness, there's no air traffic control tower. Once
you get to a certain southern point, there are no
air fields, there is no communication and you just have
(14:36):
to know what you're doing. But it's so dangerous if
anything goes wrong. There's really no safety gap at that point.
And by the way, the temperatures at mcmurder station while
they were on the ground there dropped to negative eleven
fahrenheit during the operation, just to give you an idea
of how cold it was.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I don't know how they do this. I don't know
how something like this is possible. It's that it's dangerous
in what we describe. We just think day in, day
out out, how many planes are in the air and
air traffic control all these things. That that's a marvel anyway,
these challenges. They pull this off and they're all back safely.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I would love to talk these folks, not for an interview.
I just want to sit and listen to that story.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What makes you be you? It is amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right, folks before we let you go here, I
want something for you to consider. It is our quote
of the day.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yes, and this comes to us from Olympian Scott Hamilton.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude, and
that because that's a self imposed disability.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And it could cost you a lot, and you can
miss out on a lot. And it is almost something
that holds you back. A bad attitude and will absolutely
keep you out of a room, keep you out of
a conversation, it will keep you out of an opportunity.
A bad attitude. We talk about it all the time,
and it's a simple thing to do, but it's very
hard to do.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, not only does it affect you, it affects everyone
around you as well. So I think I never thought
of it in those ways or in that term, and
I thought that was pretty cool. We all think about
physical limitations or but no, our biggest limitations are our
mental ones. And that is absolutely the case. So thank you,
Scott Hamilton. The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
(16:18):
So I'm here to have a great attitude all day
and every day whatever. I might have a moment here
and there, but I'm gonna I'm working on it all right.
With that, everyone, we hope you have a wonderful day
today filled with positive energy. I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Holmes. We'll be running with you also
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good

who was actually credited with almost creating a whole new
genre that we all love the music world has lost
a dear, dear delight of a musician to stay with
us for that, and also a daring mission is taking place.
(10:09):
So it's what below zero temperatures and you can't see anything?
What's worth this?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
We'll explain Before we go to break. I have to
tell you about new leggings I've been living in lately.
They're from this brand called Toona and fun fact here,
they were actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon,
so from that alone, you already know they're going to
be pretty good. These leggings feel like a second skin.
They're super flattering, super comfortable, and somehow still supportive. I've
(10:39):
been wearing them on my warning runs and they've quickly
become my everyday lounging leggings too. And here's what makes
them even better. Every pair you buy helps fund a
mental health counseling session for a teen in need. Tona's
on a mission to end teen suicide and self harm,
which we think is so important and incredible, So we've
partnered with Tona to give you twenty percent off your
(11:01):
order and free shipping. Head to tonaactive dot com and

Welcome back to this Friday Eve edition of Your Morning Rona.
(11:22):
Next up on the Run, we're talking about a trailblazer,
a pioneer, a revolutionary, and a legend. Those are the
words being repeated about Latin musician Eddie Palmieri after news
that the Grammy winning artists had passed away at the
age of eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Grobes we am Oftentimes musicians, artists, people pass and they're
often nice things said about them and credits to their career,
and they list all their accolades. This has been in
researching him, the words used about him. I haven't quite
seen this collection heaped on one guy universally now, Palmieri
(11:57):
is credited with creating a whole new style and sound
in Latin music, blending jazz and Afro Caribbean sounds to
make a unique type of Latin jazz, while also helping
to define what Latin music is, what Latin sound is.
And the Latin Recording Academy put it this way, said
he is a pioneer of salsa, a visionary of Latin jazz,
(12:19):
and an eternal revolutionary of rhythm.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
A revolutionary rhythm. I like that and We've been listening
to his music and it put me in such a
good mood.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I saw.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I know we are kind of on vacation, we're on
a work vacation here with our family, but it made
me feel just happy and care free. I mean it, really,
it was transcendent while I was working, so I appreciate that. Now.
By the way, Paumiri is the first Latino to ever
win a Grammy award. Did not know that, and is
considered one of the most influential Latin musicians ever, which
(12:50):
is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I what a career and it just if that should
be the goal. Can anybody say anything that beautiful about
you when you pass a pioneer of salt, visionary of
live music, eternal revolutionary.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Of a rhythm. No one's going to say that about me.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I'm going to try to put some words together, all right.
The final leg of our run here now, this one
takes us to Antarctica, so bundle up, where a daring
and dangerous rescue took place. Three researchers at the us
mcmertle station needed medical attention, and one of them needed
what was described as urgent medical care.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So the Royal New Zealand Air Force set out on
a daunting twenty hour medical emergency rescue mission where the
crew had to deal with extreme cold, landing on ice
in complete darkness, with rapidly changing weather conditions. Yes, it's
winter in Antarctica right now, so the folks on the ground,
the United States Antarctic Program Winter Team had to physically
(13:50):
create a runway by hand grooming the ice before this
crew was able to land.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is incredible. The Air Force crew flew through the
night wearing vision goggles, eventually landed safely short time. Just
a short time on the ground. The crew had to
keep the engines running while refueling to make sure they
didn't freeze, the process known as hot fueling, and was
only on the ground long enough to evacuate the three researchers.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Now, the medical conditions of those researchers has not been released,
but we do know they made it to christ Church,
New Zealand. They're all being treated at a hospital there,
so they're all doing well. But one of the reasons,
and you think about this, it's so dangerous. You know,
it's complete darkness, there's no air traffic control tower. Once
you get to a certain southern point, there are no
air fields, there is no communication and you just have
(14:36):
to know what you're doing. But it's so dangerous if
anything goes wrong. There's really no safety gap at that point.
And by the way, the temperatures at mcmurder station while
they were on the ground there dropped to negative eleven
fahrenheit during the operation, just to give you an idea
of how cold it was.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I don't know how they do this. I don't know
how something like this is possible. It's that it's dangerous
in what we describe. We just think day in, day
out out, how many planes are in the air and
air traffic control all these things. That that's a marvel anyway,
these challenges. They pull this off and they're all back safely.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I would love to talk these folks, not for an interview.
I just want to sit and listen to that story.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
What makes you be you? It is amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
All right, folks before we let you go here, I
want something for you to consider. It is our quote
of the day.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yes, and this comes to us from Olympian Scott Hamilton.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude, and
that because that's a self imposed disability.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And it could cost you a lot, and you can
miss out on a lot. And it is almost something
that holds you back. A bad attitude and will absolutely
keep you out of a room, keep you out of
a conversation, it will keep you out of an opportunity.
A bad attitude. We talk about it all the time,
and it's a simple thing to do, but it's very
hard to do.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, not only does it affect you, it affects everyone
around you as well. So I think I never thought
of it in those ways or in that term, and
I thought that was pretty cool. We all think about
physical limitations or but no, our biggest limitations are our
mental ones. And that is absolutely the case. So thank you,
Scott Hamilton. The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
(16:18):
So I'm here to have a great attitude all day
and every day whatever. I might have a moment here
and there, but I'm gonna I'm working on it all right.
With that, everyone, we hope you have a wonderful day
today filled with positive energy. I'm Amy Robot and I'm TJ.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Holmes. We'll be running with you also
