Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Hey
Speaker 1: there everybody, and good Wednesday morning. Thanks for joining us
Speaker 1: for today's morning run. Yes, it's Wednesday, August fifth. I'm
Speaker 1: Amy Robot.
Speaker 2: You don't sound too sure about this Wednesday. Well, I
Speaker 2: was what you want.
Speaker 1: To do with it?
Speaker 3: Wednesday?
Speaker 1: It's home day and it's also what was the other
Speaker 1: Oh it was Wiener Wednesday.
Speaker 3: That's what I was trying to think.
Speaker 2: You had to bring that back.
Speaker 3: Sorry, that was the story from last Wednesday.
Speaker 2: If you're not sure what we're talking about, just look
Speaker 2: up Saint Paul Mayor and Wiener Wednesday and enjoy read.
Speaker 2: We did an episode about it as well. It was
Speaker 2: a love story. But yes, good morning, welcome on this
Speaker 2: Wiener Wednesday. I'm TJ. Holmes. We got a lot of
Speaker 2: stops to make on this morning run, including in Maryland, Michigan, Massachusetts, Miami,
Speaker 2: and Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a lot of ends.
Speaker 2: We are stopping in all those places today for some good,
Speaker 2: some bad, and even some ugly stories along the way.
Speaker 2: We're also gonna be making a stop in d See.
Speaker 2: But let's start robes. We don't know what to eat
Speaker 2: in this country, so we want to give you an
Speaker 2: update on what's happening with cyclospora, but also Robes need
Speaker 2: to inform people about another outbreak of a food born
Speaker 2: illness that we need to keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one a little bit well known to be
Speaker 1: much deadlier than cyclospora. But health officials, yes, right now
Speaker 1: in this country still trying to track down the source
Speaker 1: of several cyclosphora outbreaks. The CDC's latest update now shows
Speaker 1: cases in forty seven states and twenty three thousand confirmed.
Speaker 3: And suspected cases.
Speaker 1: The epicenter of the outbreaks is, as we've been reporting, Michigan,
Speaker 1: and that state is reporting eleven five hundred cases, including
Speaker 1: those two deaths that made so many headlines because yes,
Speaker 1: this is not typically or hadn't been.
Speaker 3: Known to be a deadly disease.
Speaker 1: But a reminder, Taylor Farms is at least one of
Speaker 1: the confirmed.
Speaker 3: Or is it confirmed sources of the outbreak.
Speaker 1: They said they felt, but then through contact tracing all
Speaker 1: of that, they do believe that that farm in Mexico
Speaker 1: is a source of some of the outbreak.
Speaker 2: And I just want to know, Roges, we do see
Speaker 2: the numbers back to back, excuse me, back to back
Speaker 2: days in Michigan. They've been updating every day and it
Speaker 2: didn't go up by that many robes from day to day,
Speaker 2: as crazy as it sounds, it was a couple hundred maybe,
Speaker 2: So maybe things are slowing down a bit there in Michigan,
Speaker 2: even though they're still sitting at that many cases. Now
Speaker 2: we mentioned another outbreak salmonella. They're keeping an eye on
Speaker 2: a salmonella outbreak now. This one is in Minnesota and
Speaker 2: has to do with Chipotle restaurants, and that restaurant is
Speaker 2: making changes to some of those restaurants, but people who
Speaker 2: were served at restaurants in Minnesota have been identified. Now
Speaker 2: though Low's restaurants have been identified robes, it's the likely
Speaker 2: source of this outbreak. They got about one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten people at this point that have been seconds.
Speaker 1: Yes, and the company says it has replaced the problem.
Speaker 1: They've identified it Jallapanos and they are now using a
Speaker 1: product from a different grower and salmonella. I actually have
Speaker 1: had this once in my life. It is horrific, but diarrhea, cramping, fever,
Speaker 1: and you get those symptoms within about eight to seventy
Speaker 1: two hours, so it is a little bit easier for
Speaker 1: folks to trace back what it is that they ate
Speaker 1: that led.
Speaker 3: To the.
Speaker 1: Horrible symptoms that salmonella produces. So hopefully they'll get that
Speaker 1: under control quickly.
Speaker 2: But similar, right, they're similar. I guess a lot of
Speaker 2: food or nils is, you have a lot of similar issues.
Speaker 2: So now you got those states up there, everybody's keeping
Speaker 2: an eye on things up in that part of the
Speaker 2: country right now, right, which is messing with you. Now
Speaker 2: this complicates things as well. We'll continue here on this Runhino.
Speaker 2: It was primary night in five states last night, but
Speaker 2: we'll just give you an update on what, without question
Speaker 2: robes was the most closely watched high stakes race last night.
Speaker 2: It was the Democratic primary in Michigan as well. As
Speaker 2: of this recording, at least, it's still not decided.
Speaker 3: That's right, Congress.
Speaker 1: From when Hailey Stevens and Abdual Lsied were only separated
Speaker 1: by a little more than a percentage point, these two
Speaker 1: have been in an all out and very expensive slug
Speaker 1: fest for months now, as the progressive Lsied has been
Speaker 1: a head and pulling over the establishment candidate Stevens. If
Speaker 1: you've been watching television news at all, you have seen
Speaker 1: both of these folks plastered all over your screens. The
Speaker 1: winner will take on Republican Congressman Mike Rogers. And the
Speaker 1: reason why so many of these states are hotly contested
Speaker 1: and being watched so closely, this could determine the control.
Speaker 3: Of the Senate.
Speaker 2: Ah, this is going to be an interesting one and
Speaker 2: we shouldn't know.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: This is always interesting. And folks different networks, they have
Speaker 2: different rules for how they call a race. There's one
Speaker 2: place that's calling this race this morning, and that's NBC News.
Speaker 2: Nobody else is. Will they say it's too close to
Speaker 2: the call, but they have gone. I think it was
Speaker 2: even in maybe one to two in the morning. They
Speaker 2: did it a while. Actually, they know something that.
Speaker 3: Other people were they saying has won Sai.
Speaker 2: It Yeah, wow, they have called it for him. But
Speaker 2: roads the last I saw, they're separated by twenty thousand votes.
Speaker 1: That seems crazy that they were willing to do that.
Speaker 1: They must have some level of confidence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because networks that no one else does a decade
Speaker 2: or so ago. Stop messing around with this, and we
Speaker 2: got some.
Speaker 3: Things wrong wrong plenty of times.
Speaker 2: All right, continuing on the run here, now, let's turn
Speaker 2: to Maryland. But police, they're saying a stolen car with
Speaker 2: seven kids in it caused a fatal crash in Maryland
Speaker 2: and roads we say those seven kids. Wasn't seven kids
Speaker 2: being driven by an adult?
Speaker 3: No, that's right.
Speaker 1: The stolen kieu was full of kids between the ages
Speaker 1: of twelve to fifteen, including the driver.
Speaker 3: When it slammed into that Toyota.
Speaker 1: This happened in the middle of an intersection, and unfortunately,
Speaker 1: the driver of that Toyota died at the scene, and
Speaker 1: all those seven kids were also injured, including the driver
Speaker 1: who is in critical condition.
Speaker 3: What a sad and just unnecessary situation.
Speaker 2: They didn't reveal the age of the driver robes in this,
Speaker 2: but this is one where the police in their press conferences,
Speaker 2: their releases, and their interviews are saying, parents, know where
Speaker 2: your kids are? Yeah, that was it, parents, that where
Speaker 2: many kids are? That many kids? And the car was
Speaker 2: reported stolen hours after the accident, so someone didn't realize
Speaker 2: as the car was gone. Oh my goodness, that's a mess.
Speaker 2: There continue on the run. Let's head back to DC
Speaker 2: now in this mess with Max Miller. The House Ethics
Speaker 2: Committee has now opened an investigation into the embattled congressman,
Speaker 2: and Miller says robes. He is the one that requested
Speaker 2: this ethics sevestigation.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you heard that right.
Speaker 1: The Republican two term congressman is facing serious allegations of
Speaker 1: domestic violence from multiple women, including his ex wife, who
Speaker 1: also happens to be the daughter of Senator Bernie Moreno. Miller,
Speaker 1: who was running for a third term in Ohio, has
Speaker 1: denied the allegations against him and said he asked for
Speaker 1: the investigation in the hopes of clearing his name.
Speaker 2: This thing is getting uglier and messier. And that isn't
Speaker 2: today's Wednesday. Today's the deadline, right, if they were going
Speaker 2: to replace.
Speaker 1: Him on the ballot, yes, so bye. And he has
Speaker 1: made it very clear he's nowhere. He is going to
Speaker 1: stay in it till the end. And so yes, we
Speaker 1: will see the voters will decided perhaps that is the
Speaker 1: best course of action.
Speaker 2: You know, what hell of an interview yesterday we saw
Speaker 2: him start to finish on CNN And how many minutes
Speaker 2: of that thing go? Fifteen plus minutes.
Speaker 1: At least live longer interviews I've seen in recent days
Speaker 1: or in recent years.
Speaker 3: Actually on a network.
Speaker 1: But look, I did say, no matter what you think
Speaker 1: of what he said, he did keep his cool the
Speaker 1: entire time under some pretty intense questioning at Jake Teppert, but.
Speaker 2: Just being willing to sit there and answer. I mean,
Speaker 2: what option does he have now? It's some awful stuff
Speaker 2: out there about ooh, continuing on the run. Here now
Speaker 2: and this will be quick. We have an update on
Speaker 2: the war with Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says
Speaker 2: progress is being made in the talks. Aron says there
Speaker 2: are no talks going on in President Trump says he's
Speaker 2: going to hit Iran very hard if the straight of
Speaker 2: horror moves isn't opened very soon. That really is the update.
Speaker 2: So do with that what you will, but that is
Speaker 2: what's happening. And now Iran and Oman are apparently having
Speaker 2: conversations about opening the straight over moves without the US
Speaker 2: being involved in that at all. So that is your update,
Speaker 2: and whatever you think about it. Robes investors certainly feel
Speaker 2: a certain way about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they actually seemed hopeful about a piece deal. The
Speaker 1: Dow did gangbusters yesterday. This is a crazy number, rising
Speaker 1: nine hundred points to close at an all time high.
Speaker 1: This move came after Treasury Secretary of Scott Pasant signaled
Speaker 1: that a deal to reopen.
Speaker 3: The straight of horror moves was just days away.
Speaker 1: And so not just the DOW we're talking about, the
Speaker 1: NASDAC and the SNP also went up sharply. So they
Speaker 1: may know something that the rest of us don't, or they're.
Speaker 2: Just tired of the bat, just tired of hearing about it.
Speaker 2: And now the reports of the US is severely depleted
Speaker 2: in its stockpile of munitions, of missiles. We're running out
Speaker 2: of bullets, so that there's almost this idea that there
Speaker 2: is no appetite for and might not even be enough
Speaker 2: equipment for US to do some full scale war.
Speaker 3: Now that's not what the president is saying or will.
Speaker 2: Ever continue on the run. Here now another scary situation
Speaker 2: involving a man with a gun on a Trump property.
Speaker 2: Listen to this. A man had ammunition in his pocket
Speaker 2: and a gun in his car and he was taken
Speaker 2: into custody at that Trump property in La. This was
Speaker 2: that a golf course actually, and police say it looked
Speaker 2: like robes. The guy was casing the joint.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're talking about thirty eight year old Janine John Teal.
Speaker 1: He was allegedly taking pictures and video of the security
Speaker 1: set up on a golf course and that was two
Speaker 1: days before President Trump's visit, which by the way, went
Speaker 1: off without a hitch last night, so no issues whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But police say that the man had a loaded gun
Speaker 1: in his car as well as hollow point bullets.
Speaker 2: That is scary, and they found they went to his house,
Speaker 2: they found more and more weapons, and they found a badge.
Speaker 2: This is disturbing. They have an image of it, a
Speaker 2: fake badge and it says Security Protection agent on it.
Speaker 1: Oh, so he was potentially going to be mimicking some
Speaker 1: sort of security officer to get Are.
Speaker 2: We really talking about another possible assassination?
Speaker 3: That's certainly what it sounds like. Wow, all right.
Speaker 1: Next up on the run, Todd Blanche is a step
Speaker 1: closer to officially becoming the next Attorney General of the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 2: At this point, he's earned it. I mean, my god, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: The Senate Judiciary Committee finally voted to advance his nomination
Speaker 1: to that full Senate.
Speaker 3: Vote, and the committee vote did twelve to ten along
Speaker 3: party lines. Now, what are the margins in the full Senate?
Speaker 2: They thought he was okay because he needed to make
Speaker 2: sure just three Republicans he could lose three Republicans. He
Speaker 2: lost one because Susan Collins says she's not.
Speaker 3: Going to Jess McConnell ain't there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Robe, it's a little dicey, didn't the break
Speaker 2: starts Friday?
Speaker 1: When yes, I believe tomorrow Thursday is their last day
Speaker 1: before they break.
Speaker 3: So we have to see a vote either today or tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I continuing on the run here now. Day six of
Speaker 2: the Lindsay Clancy trial was an eventful one, but a
Speaker 2: lot of the events robes were taking place before testimony
Speaker 2: even began. This, I mean, this is going to be
Speaker 2: a hell of a trial because every day there's been
Speaker 2: something there certainly has.
Speaker 1: So the thirty five year old mom who has yes
Speaker 1: already admitted to strangling her three young children to death,
Speaker 1: agreed at the beginning of court yesterday to stipulate to
Speaker 1: some of the facts that prove that case, and specifically
Speaker 1: they're talking about just change of command and how evidence
Speaker 1: has been collected. They're not going to be going after
Speaker 1: the process because they already admit that she in fact
Speaker 1: did kill her children, and the hope is that we'll
Speaker 1: save the court some time in both witnesses and cross examination.
Speaker 2: Of course, Clancy is pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity,
Speaker 2: blaming postpartum psychosis for the murderers and her attempted suicide.
Speaker 2: The prosecution first called an emergency room surgeon yesterday who
Speaker 2: examined Clancy when she was rushed to the hospital. She
Speaker 2: testified that her self inflicted neck and wrist wounds were superficial.
Speaker 2: That was before the defense got ahold.
Speaker 1: Of her yes, yes, Then defense attorney got her to
Speaker 1: admit that yes, in fact, Lindsay Clancy's injuries were a
Speaker 1: level one, which was the highest, and she had to
Speaker 1: be transferred.
Speaker 3: She codd after she moved to the other hospital.
Speaker 1: So he was establishing, Okay, this woman died actually and
Speaker 1: had to be revived.
Speaker 3: This was the way they talk about superficial womd.
Speaker 2: But this was the lady who also had to admit
Speaker 2: that she had to be a part of the team
Speaker 2: that decided that she was bad enough that she needed
Speaker 2: to be transferred somewhere else, right, correct, But her injuries
Speaker 2: were so severe she needed help somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Let's just say the defense made inroads with that witness.
Speaker 1: That was a testy exchange back and forth. They also
Speaker 1: called to state troopers to the stand to talk about
Speaker 1: evidence collected, including the many prescription drug bottles, but the
Speaker 1: big thing the prosecution wanted to point out that many
Speaker 1: of the pills were left inside those bottles. Three toxicologists
Speaker 1: also took the stand. They talked about what was in
Speaker 1: Lindsey Clancy's blood and urine benzo diazepines that are used
Speaker 1: to treat insomnia and anxiety. But the defense got in
Speaker 1: she didn't have drugs, she didn't have alcohol, she didn't
Speaker 1: have cannabis in her system.
Speaker 3: That was of note.
Speaker 2: You know what, I did enjoy the exchange the blood pattern,
Speaker 2: the bloodstained expert. I didn't realize they were making the
Speaker 2: point here the prosecution is trying to say that she
Speaker 2: didn't really jump out the way right.
Speaker 3: That she lowered herself down, didn't.
Speaker 2: The defense attorney at some point, so y'all saying, she's
Speaker 2: spider Man now, and.
Speaker 1: He's like and if she Spiderman down the wall, wouldn't
Speaker 1: there be like a blood smerr all the way down?
Speaker 1: And yes, the blood pattern or the blood stained pattern
Speaker 1: analysts had to acknowledge that, yes, that would be the case.
Speaker 2: And there was that was not.
Speaker 3: That case on the air, not in evidence.
Speaker 2: If you all want to see some hellodrama. Watch this
Speaker 2: defense attorney and how he goes about his work. He
Speaker 2: is he is something to see. We'll stay with us
Speaker 2: on this Wednesday Morning run. When we come back a
Speaker 2: really concerning call about a celebrity blogger who was live
Speaker 2: streaming self harm. We'll explain this really terrifying story and
Speaker 2: one we need to be paying attention to. Also. Tonight
Speaker 2: is Wednesday night. Somebody could get really, really rich.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to your Wednesday Morning Ron. This is a
Speaker 3: tough story.
Speaker 1: I think pretty much everyone is familiar with celebrity blogger
Speaker 1: Perez Hilton, and some of us have been on the
Speaker 1: receiving end of some of his snarky comments that he
Speaker 1: puts up online. But he was rushed to the hospital
Speaker 1: yesterday after police were alerted to a disturbing live stream.
Speaker 3: I had to make sure I read this correctly. This
Speaker 3: is beyond scary.
Speaker 2: This was on. This is a TikTok live stream. I
Speaker 2: do believe it has been taken down officially, but a
Speaker 2: lot of the videos robes are still making the rounds online.
Speaker 2: But Hilton appeared to be covered in blood and he
Speaker 2: was cutting himself repeatedly in this live stream, it was
Speaker 2: apparent orly suggested by anybody watching that he was having
Speaker 2: Robes a mental crisis. He was in crisis of some kind.
Speaker 2: But this is at his home in Miami. The Sheriff's
Speaker 2: office that they received multiple calls, so they sent deputies
Speaker 2: out and they tried to make contact, but the Robes.
Speaker 2: They said they took a position of de escalation because
Speaker 2: they didn't want him to harm himself further. But there
Speaker 2: were no other people in the house and nobody else harmed.
Speaker 2: They said his family was on scene as well, but
Speaker 2: eventually got him into a hospital and being treated. Now,
Speaker 2: but this is just stuff, that's scary stuff, and rose
Speaker 2: so much of this. We need to talk about this
Speaker 2: later on, do an episode about it because there's so
Speaker 2: much online about self harm that's romanticized in such a way.
Speaker 2: Did Yeah, this is important to pay attention to right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, look, it's awful that all of
Speaker 1: those videos are out there, but honestly, thank god, it
Speaker 1: was a cry for help, a very public cry for help,
Speaker 1: and he got it, and we hope he continues to
Speaker 1: get the help he needs. All right, And for the
Speaker 1: final leg of the run, we did go out as
Speaker 1: promised and get a powerful I mean I almost like
Speaker 1: wanted to put it on the record yesterday that we
Speaker 1: were going to get a Powerball ticket, so that when
Speaker 1: we walked by and we almost had, we hesitated, We're.
Speaker 3: Like, do we want to go?
Speaker 2: No, that was me that was being.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I let's go in and get the ticket.
Speaker 2: And then once we got in there we.
Speaker 3: Had to wait for it.
Speaker 2: It was delay.
Speaker 3: It was bizarre. I've never seen this before.
Speaker 1: There was a woman who was working at the grocery
Speaker 1: store who painstakingly took ten minutes to cut out the
Speaker 1: plastic wrapping on some eye drops for a customer, and it.
Speaker 2: Was take I actually left the store and left Ropedon's.
Speaker 3: Like I'm done. I've never seen that before.
Speaker 1: It was very kind of her, but she just took forever.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I love my eye drops. I
Speaker 1: understand it takes forever to take that plastic wrapping off
Speaker 1: the top. But yes, we did get our ticket and
Speaker 1: we're in it to win it. Seven hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: six million dollars is the jackpot tonight, three.
Speaker 2: And forty one point six million would be the cash payout. Clearly,
Speaker 2: that's the way we would go obviously, so we would go.
Speaker 2: But yes, good luck, it's happening tonight. I haven't had
Speaker 2: a winter since early May, and so that's why it's
Speaker 2: gotten up to this now.
Speaker 3: All right, very exciting.
Speaker 1: All right, on this Wednesday, we will leave you with
Speaker 1: this quote of the day. You know, I like to
Speaker 1: throw in a h A philosopher an a philosopher.
Speaker 3: I got Marcus really is he's my favorite.
Speaker 1: I really think he's You call them all your favorites, yeah,
Speaker 1: but him. I do have a couple of Buddhist monks,
Speaker 1: so I like to but he's my favorite.
Speaker 2: Favorite, of course. See, but I don't feel better because
Speaker 2: everybody's your favorite.
Speaker 3: No, they're not.
Speaker 1: All right, Here we go. Every morning you inherit a
Speaker 1: new life. Every evening you return one. Make sure it's
Speaker 1: worth more than what you received.
Speaker 2: Oh man, mad you think that's too.
Speaker 1: Difficult every morning, but I like the idea. Every morning
Speaker 1: you inherit a new life, and then every evening you
Speaker 1: return one. Well, as you go to bed, make sure
Speaker 1: it is worth more than what you received.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you should do more, is what you're saying.
Speaker 2: You should have sent some way contributor or improved the
Speaker 2: thing that started that morning.
Speaker 3: Okay, that is just your life, your experience. It's a gain.
Speaker 3: So what do you do with it each day? If
Speaker 3: you think about it in those terms, you actually say,
Speaker 3: I'm going.
Speaker 1: To value what I've been given, and it's going to
Speaker 1: increase in value because of what I'm going to do
Speaker 1: with it in these hours as we wake up.
Speaker 3: It's a good reminder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, it's good you took over. The quotes were
Speaker 2: very short and didn't make people think that hard.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll have a fun, silly one tomorrow, all
Speaker 1: right and without everyone.
