Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everybody, and welcome to your Morning Run. It is Tuesday,
July twenty. First, I'm Amy.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Robot, July twenty. First, it's Odyssey Day for us, big day.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
We have to plan around it. Going to see the
Odyssey finally, are.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
We He's round so excited.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I bought tickets and I'm TJ Holmes and I'm just
not a three hours in the theater guy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I know it's wonderful, it's great.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
He's the best, but I just say, okay, we'll go
do it all right, Today's Odyssey Day.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
You're already yawning? What's the run time on this movie?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Two hours and fifty two minutes?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
I thought it was worse. Actually, that's not as bad
as I thought.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
But yes, we have We're going to go see what
everybody's talking about, and everybody is talking about it, and
everybody's spending money. This movie clearly a blockbuster Gangbusters. Do
you want to hand at the oscar now or what?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah? Well, and that's the thing. I want to make
sure that we witness this thing that everybody's raving about
and talking about. And when better to do it than
on a rainy so Yes's that was part of the
decision into going today. It's a rainy day here in
the Northeast, and so yes, I am so excited to
see what everybody is talking.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
So we'll report back. Showtime today is at three this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, is that right? So we'll be out around nine,
so we'll check back in with you guys. So yea
as welcome to your morning run. We're gonna be.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Making stops obviously the box office like we just did,
but we'll also be making stops in Michigan, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Miami,
and Manhattan. We'll also make a stop in Canada and
an LA court room. But we want to start ropes
along the Gulf coast. I just want to get folks
an update about what's coming and what's kind of just
sitting there. These storms are always the scary ones that
are moving so slowly that they just kind of sit

(01:43):
there and they dump water water water.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's right, And so there is a tropical depression in
the Gulf that has intensified. It's become tropical storm Bertha.
I swear I covered a Bertha in along the Carolina
coast in the nineties. Is it possible to name has
come back.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
We've been in the industry a long time.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I that's so sad that we are now back at Bertha,
because I absolutely covered a Bertha. So anyway, this is
a tropical storm. It's the second name storm of the
Atlantic Hurricane System and it's yeah. It's parked just off
the coast of Florida and expected to hug the coast
over the next few days as it makes its way northwest.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yes, storm watches in place parts of Alabama, Mississipi, Louisiana,
and Texas. Again, winds, flooding, storm surge is expected. They
do think Robes is not necessarily a landfall type of
a thing. But it's gonna hug the coast in such
a way there's it's gonna sit there. They say it
was moving like a mile an hour at one point.
That's terrible. When it comes to rain, totals.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Lots of rain. Maybe they can get some movies, maybe
they can watch the autos. Oh wow, right, plenty of
time to do that, all right. Next up on the run,
The number of cyclist four cases in Michigan spiked once
again over the weekend. As predicted. Health officials there have
reported a total of six forty eight cases. That's a
jump off about a thousand cases over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Meanwhile, the FDA is still trying to clear up the
confusion it cost. After emitting yesterday that a sample of
lettuce from the Tailor Farms plant in Mexico produced a
false positive, the agency says that doesn't mean, though, that
Taylor Farms is in the clear. They say, actually the opposite.
There is still overwhelming epidemiological, epidemiological evidence that we struggle

(03:28):
with this yesterday.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Right, I can't say that word.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
So it's epidemiology, yes, But then when you add the illogical.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Illogical, it gets tricky, it feels weird.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
So what they're saying is overwhelmingly their epidemiology and their
evidence point to Taylor Farms still being the culprit and
their iceberg lettuce robe.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
So is that clear to everybody now? Not really? So
essentially they shouldn't even told us there was a positive test.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
We'd be better off, right because from what I've gathered,
that's actually fairly that this is a parasite that's difficult
to actually test positive for in a food after the fact. So, yes,
the lettuce remains recalled in those twenty seven states, and
Taco Bells in five states. They say they've gotten all
the lettuce out of their restaurants, but still we've just

(04:20):
seen a report about declining sales in Taco Bell, which
is understandable given the concern. Now, the CDC says it's
also investigating hundreds of cyclostsphoura cases in which the person
got sick after eating and traveling outside the United States,
so there could be multiple sources coming from multiple countries.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Apparently eat at your own risk. Continuing on the run here.
Now got something else. Folks in particularly in Manhattan, need
to be worried about Legionnaire's, a disease that has been
an outbreak there, a cluster as they call it. This
happens on the Upper east Side where it's been happening,
but the death toll from that has now gone up again.
A fourth death now been linked to this cluster of

(05:01):
cases against specifically, and I think they have specific even
zip codes up there on Manhattan's Upper east Side where
people are being infected.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
That's right. There have been a total of at least
seventy four cases, including several folks who are actually still hospitalized,
tied to those cooling towers in dozens of buildings. Legionaire's
disease is a bacteria that is found in water and
can cause severe pneumonia. It is not usually fatal, but
you can see four people unfortunately have already died.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Next leg of our run takes us to Massachusetts, where
jury selection will continue today. In this closely watched trial
of a mom who strangled her three young children, Lindsey
Clancy has pleaded not guilty in the killing of her
five year old, three year old and eight month old
back in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Her attorneys expect to make mental illness or postpartum psychosis
specifically central to her defense. Five jurors were selected yesterday.
It was day one of jury selection. The judge does
plan select a total of eighteeners, so they'll have twelve
seated and six alternates.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
What a day as well is expected to be in
a court in California as we continue on the run. Now,
David Singer David's long away. That preliminary hearing is getting
underway today, robes, Oh, my goodness, this is the day
we are going to finally hear a lot of evidence
laid out.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yes, and they say it might be really hard to hear, frankly,
given the type of evidence they're going to be presenting.
They're actually presenting all of this against twenty one year
old singer David Burke is his real name, his legal name,
to convince a judge that there is enough evidence to
go to trial. It's kind of like a mini trial.
We've seen these before. But prosecutors say they have DNA evidence,

(06:43):
surveillance footage, phone records, text messages all showing that Burke
began a sexual relationship with then thirteen year old celestrevs
Hernandez before he ultimately stabbed her to death, dismembered her body,
and then left her remains into body bags in his
white tesla.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
He has again completed not guilty defense. It's going to
have an opportunity to ask some questions today of witnesses
that anybody that the prosecution might call to the stand.
This is supposed to go several days this week. The
death penalty is still an option for prosecutors. They have
not said one way or another, but David has been
when was he first arrested, but he's been in jail

(07:22):
ever since his arrest.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yes, it's not going to be.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Getting un exactly. And look, this preliminary hearing has been
delayed since April, so this has been something that so
many folks have been waiting to hear all of the
details of this evidence that the prosecutors are going to
present against this young man. All right, Next up on
the run social media influencers, the Tate brothers plan to
fight their extradition back to the UK. We're talking about

(07:46):
Andrew and Tristan Tate. They made their very first court
appearance yesterday in my AMMI.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, they were taken into custody by US officials over
the weekend after British officials charged them with a number
of new chargers, including rape and sex trafficking.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Their attorney claimed the arrest are politically motivated in some way. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I didn't want to hear too much from him, but
on his social media he's talking about how the British
government is after him and no, yeah, for all of
these political reasons. Look, this controversial duo has been huge online.
They've got a big following in the so called manisphere.
But this has certainly garnered a lot of attention and

(08:25):
a lot of interest. And these are brothers who just
say incendiary things. They've been banned on every social media
platform except for x.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
And that only was lifted after Elon Musk took it over.
That correct Quod and his attorney was out there doing
the interviews they are pleading publicly, even with the President.
There are ties that these folks have to the administration,
ties that even helped get them out of some legal
trouble previously, as has been widely reported, broke the attorney already.

(08:56):
This is what President Trump was elected to fight back on.
This kind of foolishness, was putting the ball in his court.
You see, they know what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
They know the pr game, don't they all?

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Next up on the run Well head to Manhattan where
a forty three year old Army vet set fire to
a federal building there in Lower Manhattan. It happened on
Monday morning. Andrew Arobaka was armed with a myriad of
weapons as he used fireworks to ignite a stairwell outside
twenty six Federal Plaza after pouring gasoline over it.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
It was a weird scene.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
We see every step of this attack happen because there
are cameras everywhere. How big was that bucket he just
poured a bucket of liquid out.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
He had a cart he was wheeling with him with
all of these weapons and gasoline. Like he came armed
and ready with a wheel like a wagon like to
pull because he had to carry all that stuff through
the streets of Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, and so he poured his gasoline lycensed thing. They
say he also fired these pullet these this airsoft gun
fired palletts at the building. But you said the mirror
of weapons said they had two acts as a hammer,
a machete, three knives. He was eventually attacked, none of
eventually almost immediately, Yes, sorry, he didn't get half a
block and he was tackled and arrested by police. Some

(10:12):
folks suffered minor injuries in the attack, one civilian, two
government employees. But they did say he came robes to
do some bad damage to that building. Don't know to
how many people. But this is a place we have
seen targeted. This is our former neighborhood as of six
or so months ago, well.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Almost a year now, that we lived across the street.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yes, but we have seen I mean rose it was
an adventure every week of some kind with protests with
something happening outside that building. And yes, there was always
a huge police presence. This is FBI headquarters are in
their ice headquarters are in there, DHS isn't there.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, And they knew they were a target, so they
were always prepared. So this guy did not go far
or get far. But he was described as an anti
ice rioter. And right now we are awaiting the official charges.
They have not been announced yet, but we can guess
they will be a plenty next up on the run.
This is just a sad, tragic, awful story. Five people,

(11:08):
they were friends, all on a fishing trip, died yesterday
on an Ohio river and the details of how and
why they died are just devastating.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Now police say, this is this area of Robes, I
should designate it is a suburb outside of Columbus. Is
where this river was and where they were hanging out.
But police say one person got into the water to swim.
That person started to struggle, so two of the friends
jumped in to help. They also started to struggle in
the water, so the last two friends jumped in for

(11:42):
a rescue attempt. Robes all five end up dying.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
And did you read that two of them were sets
of parents and there were children left stranded and literally orphaned.
At this point, they were running along the side of
the bank screaming for help. My family is in the river.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
And this is how Yes authorities end up getting alerted
because motorists is driving on a road. Yes robes nearby.
They say they see a child running up and down
the road distraught. That child tells them my family is
in the river. What an awful story. I don't know
currents and what they got in trouble and how they
got but all five of them roads we're taking out
by something in the river that was just too strong

(12:18):
for them to overcome.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Oh gosh, that is just terrible and awful and just
a reminder to please be careful, all right. Next up
on the Run, eighteen year old Nolan Wells was laid
to rest. Hundreds gathered in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, to remember
the college football player who mysteriously died after celebrating the
Fourth of July with friends on an island off the
Gulf coast of Mississippi.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I remembered him as a gentle, calming spirit. His friends
in high school football teammates were dressed in black and blue.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
This was the part of it that oof.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I know those images just young men dressed in that
way at a funeral. I've seen that scene too often,
seen it personally, and just coming up is just there's
a look, and there's a thing when you see young
folks dress a certain way in mourning. They're not They
dress a certain way robes at a funeral that you
normally don't see a young man dress. And it's just
that stings to see those young men in that way.

(13:10):
But they were all dressed in the colors of Wells
High School team. Al Sharklan gave the yuleg offered a
fifty thousand dollars reward for information leads to an arrest
and conviction robe. Specifically, he is offering an award for
information that leads to an arrest, that conviction that suggests
robes at least putting in the public's mind that something criminal.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Did happen.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yes, and Tyler Perry said he would match that number,
bringing it to one hundred thousand dollars. Spike Lee Terrell
Owens also attended the funeral service. But yes, in terms
of whether or not something criminal did or did not happen,
we're still waiting on autopsy reports. We don't know how
Nolan Wells died at this point, both from the state
and that independent autopsy conducted by the family. And we're

(13:55):
going to have a grand jury looking at all the
evidence at the end of the police investigation, so hopefully,
especially for his family's sake, they will get some answers.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
All right, we'll stay with us here on this Tuesday
morning run. When we come back, the Mayor of New York,
the Prime Minister of Israel, and the President of the
United States all walk into a bar. How do you
think that joke is going to end?

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Robes?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Also coming up, the President has made another threat against
our friendly neighbor to the north. And how much would
you pay Robes or maybe the ultimate piece of Star
Wars history. All right, folks, will continue here on this

(14:37):
Tuesday morning run, this Odyssey day for us as we
get prepared to go on.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Our trek to the theater.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
It was Sabine who convinced you I could not have
done it alone.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
We actually negotiated.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
We were in a full long what was it fifteen
minutes maybe negotiation over going to see The Odyssey. And
again this is not or not. I love Christopherola's movies.
We all do obviously. I just sitting in a theater
for three hours is tough, you know what.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
And it was I think it was Savine who convinced
you finally, because you were trying to act like she
was just trying to be nice to me, but she
really wants to see the movie.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I actually offered you, well, y'all, just go out nice.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
That's fine. You can stay home.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
That's still an option though.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, it's possible.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
As we continue on this Tuesday morning run, as we
work out our family issues here up first here, as
we continue to run, the Mayor of New York and
the President of the United States are on a pissing
matchup with the Prime Minister of Israel.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Seriously.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
In particular, Mayor Zorhan Mondani said he wants to arrest
Benjamin Netanyahoo when he visits New York for the UN
General Assembly in September.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Okay net Yahoo has been charged with war crimes by
the International Criminal Court, which issued a warrant for his
arrest back in twenty twenty four. So Mom Donnie says
he's looking into his authority to make good on that
warrant and arrest BB in New York.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
So President Trump, I'll read you what he said, but
in summary, pipe down, pipsquick. He says, quote Benjamin Danya,
who will not be arrested in any way, shape or form.
While in the United States of America, he's fighting against Iran,
which recently killed fifty two thousand innocent protesters. He's been
forty seven years killing American soldiers and others. The only

(16:21):
ones that should be arrested are the people that led
ran in this unprecedented spiral of death and destruction. So
I don't know, robes, Are we not going to have
us stand off in New York?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
No? And look, obviously, I don't even know if Mom
Donnie could pull off having met and Yahoo arrested. But
obviously President Trump would undo it in two seconds.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, wasn't this a part of Mom Donnie?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't know if it was a campaign promise, it
was something certainly he was talking about on the campaign.
Can you imagine New York City authorities, law enforcement trying
to take the Prime Minister of Israel into custody.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
That is not something I can I could imagine you
in Okay, yeah, okay, next up on the run. Speaking
of yeah, okay, President Trump has announced he is going
to impose a fifty percent tariff on Canadian goods in
thirty days unless Canada drops what Trump calls discriminatory trade

(17:21):
barriers against US goods. Okay, this all comes after Trump
threatened on Sunday to impose tariffs against Canada for the
wildfires that sent thick and dangerous smoke into the US.
So these new tariffs have nothing to do with the wildfires. No, no, no,
He's referring to these trade issues. And here's the funny thing.
The trade issues he's upset about came about, yep, because

(17:45):
Canada was retaliating against Trump's emergency tariffs on Canada. So
he's upset that Canada retaliated against his tariffs. He's talking
about the fact that Canadians removed US alcohol from their
store shelves. They have limited and placed tariffs on US
auto imports and dairy products, and he wants those tariffs

(18:05):
to go away, and if they don't, he's going to
impose now fifty percent tariffs on Canada. But is he
recognizing this was all his doing in the first place.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's like hitting somebody in the face and then getting
mad that they hit you back, correct, And so you
retaliate again for retaliating.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
This is this is a Brodney. Where's Ridney King when
you need him?

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yes, I know he's passed, But ro this is a
simple thing of can't we all just get along? It's
our friendly neighbors of the north. I don't know a
whole lot about Canadians, but I know they're not known
as being aggressive. Why are we fighting with Canada constantly?

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Love to just? I mean, I say we, but there's
just some excitement over conflict and there are people who
do need it and seek it. They need an enemy
because when you have an enemy, you can rally your base.
And I do think there's something to that, Like just
Canada make enemies out of everyone, and then you've got
your team with you and for you, and you've got
a movement. If you don't have something to fight against,

(19:04):
you don't have a movement.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
It's Canada.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Like I can't come up with a bad feeling about Canada,
and you can't get me pissed at Canada. You just not,
I know. I continuing on the run here now, last leg?
How much would you pay Robes? How much would you
pay for a piece of Star Wars movie history? Now
you're not even the biggest Star Wars fan, but you
were familiar with and you respect and you like even

(19:27):
certainly the first three, Oh I love those.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Are like my childhood. Yes, Luke Skywalker Walker Princess Leah
loved all that. I was Princess Leah for Halloween. Who
wasn't you were of a certain age. However, get into
trinkets and memorabilia.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Do you just call this a trinket, not my thing.
That's a little blasphemous to call the lightsaber from the
fight between Daddy Darth Veda and Luke a trinket.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
What did you say?

Speaker 2 (19:56):
This is a piece of movie history, folks. We were
talking about the lightsaber that was in his hand when
he got his hands sliced off by his father in
that classic scene of Empire Strikes Back.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
That's cool. I'm just not collectibles.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, fine, but a trinket, this is This is memorabilia.
I'll give you that. Oh yes. It has been sold
at auction and it went for three point seventy five
million dollars. It is the highest price for a Star
Wars prop according to this auction house Robes and it
even came with the severed hand attack.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's hilarious, like the actual one they used in the movie.
Or do they just.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Create a way said as the wires hanging out.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's my favorite part about the whole saber. You want
that hand, Yes, that's awesome, Okay, I want Luke Skywalker.
That's amazing, And yes, I think that is the perfect
way to sell it should be displayed with the severed hand.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Somebody could have that in there some I'm thinking about
the banana on the wall. I'm just that's ridiculous. I'm
just thinking about somebody displaying this stuff in their house
and there's a banana with duct tape on the wall
and a severed hand attached to a lightsaber.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
That's a hell of an art gallery.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yes, one I would actually attend. I love that all right.
On this Tuesday, we have your quote of the day
for you. You always win when you move through life
with authenticity, honesty, love, and a grateful heart. Always list
those four things again. You always win when you move

(21:26):
through life with authenticity.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Authenticity. People struggle with that right. Honesty, people certainly struggle
with that one.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Love it's hard in moments. And a grateful heart always Which.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
One of those is the most difficult for people.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Would you say, I think authenticity and a grateful heart.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Say, a grateful heart's a tricky one.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
For a lot is And you know what, I have
found myself when I'm struggling in moments just to frustration
outside influences, whatever things out of your control, I do
try to just say to myself, you are alive, you
are healthy, you are breathing, you are grateful, and things
will pass. So and I just authenticity is tough. I
think it's tough to sometimes fully express and be yourself.

(22:09):
Everyone's trying to put on to make people like them.
But I do like you can always you always win
being authentic, being honest, being loving, and being grateful period.
Everything else can just be what it is if you
can stick to those four things.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
You've been authentic during this morning run.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
I think so maybe too much so sometimes I say
things and I say, whoops, did that come out of
my head and out of my mouth? Should have maybe
kept that to myself?

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Okay, Authentic and rude does a fine line.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
There is a fine line that is true, that is
very true. With that, everyone, we hope you have a
wonderful Tuesday. I made me.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes, heading off to see the Odyssey.
See y'all and later.
