Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there, everybody. Good morning and welcome to Morning Run. Yes, it is Friday, October 9th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:13
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. We are starting off the weekend with a little disappointment.
00:00:18
Speaker 3: We were just dealing with some news, a movie we've been really looking forward to that had people buzzing for a while.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: It's being horribly reviewed. This is very disappointing.
00:00:28
Speaker 2: This is so disappointing, Amy. You know all the hubbub people were all scared unnecessarily so during The Odyssey, the trailer that popped up and scared the heck out of folks who don't necessarily like horror movies, Other Mommy with Jessica Chastain. When we saw that trailer during The Odyssey, we were pumped. I have been waiting. I have been counting down the days for Other Mommy's release. And now we see the reviews.
00:00:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. 20% Rotten Tomatoes. That's a tough blow.
00:01:02
Speaker 3: And I've read a few this morning and they're kind of consistent. But still, we got to go see it.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: Obviously. We have to. That's just how we are. But maybe we'll love it. We'll report back.
00:01:12
Speaker 3: But wherever you may be and starting off your Friday and starting off your weekend, hope you are getting off to a good start. We have a couple of developing stories this morning. literally minutes before we came on, we got word about the Nobel Peace Prize, and we need to give you an update on the hurricane that's churning in the Gulf Coast. But we're making stops in Fort Dix, Texas, Fort Hood, excuse me, no, Fort Dix, New Jersey, Fort Hood, Texas. We'll be making those stops today. Also in Massachusetts and Nashville and San Diego as well. But first, let's start I guess with the update about this hurricane, Robes, this thing appears to be getting stronger.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: Yes. Hurricane Isaias. An update for you. It is now a Category 2 storm. And yes, it is strengthening. It's expected to make landfall. Late tonight or early tomorrow, somewhere along the Alabama coastline. But Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida all have multiple storm warnings. Some places are preparing for more than a foot of rain and up to seven feet of storm surge. This is this is they haven't had a storm barreling towards them in in a lot of time. Unfortunately, they've had a lot of experience with this. So the local areas there know what to do and hopefully residents know when to get out.
00:02:31
Speaker 3: This thing is picking up steam. Heading to the Gulf Coast. It's going to be a it's going to be a rough day, night, maybe weekend. Yeah, no folks talking about football games down there, but football games be damned. This is getting more and more serious. The other developing story, again, we're just getting word minutes before we came on here about the Nobel Peace Prize, and I guess robes a lot of the headlines already. Don't even write in the name of the person who won. It just says, Trump loses.
00:03:00
Speaker 2: Right? I mean, that's pretty much the only reason why most people were glued to their sets at 5 a.m. Eastern time. It was to see if Look, did anyone actually think that President Trump was going to receive it?
00:03:13
Speaker 3: Well, stranger things have happened, I guess we could say. But Navi Pillai is her name. Navi Pillai, she's described as an international jurist. I believe she's 85, Rose, but she has got a hell of a resume in promoting peace and international law. I think she was the human rights chief at the UN for a little while. But as far as her resume, her lifetime of work, Certainly deserving. And now folks will wait to see what the reaction will be from the White House and maybe in particular President Trump.
00:03:42
Speaker 2: There's always next year. He could be the Meryl Streep of the Nobel Peace Prize if he just keeps getting nominated.
00:03:50
Speaker 1: I was going to say the Susan Lucci.
00:03:53
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true. I think Susan Lucci is probably the better example. He wants to be Meryl Streep. He's Susan Lucci. All right, next up on the run, New York leaders are expressing outrage after an ICE-involved shooting in a residential neighborhood. Thursday afternoon, police say ICE agents shot a man while his five-year-old child was in the car with him.
00:04:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's around four in the afternoon in the Marble Hill neighborhood. This is way up there in upper Manhattan. But the Department of Homeland Security said, yes, the man was the target of an enforcement action. Don't have all the details about what led up to the shooting, but the New York Police Department says the ICE officer fired at least seven times. Now, the mayor demanding the president pull ICE agents out of the city. The man is in stable condition. Even wrote he was shot somewhere around the neck. But there's video of him just sitting on the ground in handcuffs before the ambulance gets there. So it Don't know how bad a shape he was in, but still this is.
00:04:54
Speaker 2: In front of his child.
00:04:55
Speaker 3: And roves on a crowded New York neighborhood. This is going to fire. And there were protests. You see the clashes already last night with people in the city and police.
00:05:07
Speaker 2: All right, so more to come on that. But next up on the run, lawyers for Krista Pike have given another update on her condition. They say she's been up and walking around her hospital room with assistance, but even though she's been making great strides physically, they say there is still uncertainty about her cognitive recovery.
00:05:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, she survived, of course, that botched execution in Tennessee last week in which she was given two doses of what should have been fatal doses of pentobarbital. Her attorneys claim she has cognitive challenges that her doctors say could take months to fully understand.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: They're still asking for the governor to commute her sentence.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, the U.S. will not launch any more attacks on Iran until after the midterms.
00:05:59
Speaker 1: Huh.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: A really odd declaration from the president yesterday. He had a lot to say about it on True Social. He said, we are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that while Iran is in very bad condition, both economically and militarily, And while the blockade will remain in full force and effect, with oil flowing in record numbers of barrels through the Hormuz Strait, 22 million barrels last night alone, with not one barrel coming from or going to Iran. This is still the same sentence, by the way. We will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: Why announce that?
00:06:46
Speaker 2: Why would you announce that?
00:06:47
Speaker 3: What an odd thing prior to the midterms. Who is that message for? Is it for voters? Why would you signal that to your enemy?
00:06:55
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: That y'all can chill at least until the midterms. I don't know.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: But it continued some odd stuff on Truth Social from the president with this.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: Tell me what this means. Robes, a totally different....
00:07:10
Speaker 3: On its own true social post, he says, the White House considers anyone that uses the term artificial intelligence as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term super intelligence the enemy. Signed, President Donald J.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: Trump.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: If you don't do what I say, which is change the name of Artificial intelligence? Didn't he do that in front? Was that the UN where he did that?
00:07:36
Speaker 1: Yes. Seuss said, I'm going to change it to super intelligence, see how much power I have. That thing?
00:07:40
Speaker 2: I'm worried about him. I'm worried about us. I'm worried about his mental health. That is bizarre beyond belief. That is paranoid. That is just this, I am the supreme leader who declares things to be named this, and from this day forward, you must refer to this as that, or you are my enemy.
00:07:59
Speaker 3: Will his supporters say, y'all calm down, he's just being funny? I mean, we'll dismiss. I don't know how else to take that.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: I don't think a president should be confusing, though. I shouldn't wonder whether or not he's joking or not.
00:08:14
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: That's dangerous.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Not the president. Is he for real?
00:08:23
Speaker 2: And if it's like that every day, I don't know that that is effective leadership, but... Okay. Well, in terms of, let's just stay on theme with bizarre, confusing.
00:08:34
Speaker 1: What is happening?
00:08:35
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on in our country? Next up on the run, well, how about a public execution, everybody? After Krista Pike, that seems like the right thing to do. Let's have a public execution. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he is going to make the military's first execution in 60 years available for all to see. Yes, President Trump earlier this week approved the firing squad execution of Nadal Hassan, who killed 13, injured 30 others in that mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, back in 2009.
00:09:08
Speaker 3: All right, so Pete Hegseth got everybody's attention yesterday.
00:09:11
Speaker 1: He did an interview, Robes, and he said this.
00:09:14
Speaker 3: So he's going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we'll make sure that people are able to watch it and that it's public because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things.
00:09:25
Speaker 2: Rrrr!
00:09:26
Speaker 3: That raised some eyebrows. Like, what is he talking about? Well, the Pentagon followed up later and confirmed, yes, they are going to live stream this thing on December 3rd, baby.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: What? Is it going to be like pay-per-view and you have to like raise money? No, I'm just... This is weird. It's like a fighting match or some sort of like.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: We don't do this. This is frightening. You know who does this? North Korea. Iran.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: I was just going to say that.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Public executions, baby? What are we doing? And by the.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: way, look, I am all for, we're having a moment. We are having a death penalty moment in this country right now.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are.
00:10:09
Speaker 3: After Krista Pike, and now we're going to put this, and this is going to be ugly because you know what, Robes?
00:10:14
Speaker 1: This guy is in a wheelchair. He was paralyzed in that.
00:10:19
Speaker 3: You're supposed to put him, protocol says you have to put him in his uniform. Protocol says you have to have eight people lined up with rifles. And if it doesn't work, then one of them is supposed to walk up to him and put a pistol to his head and finish the job. Now, they're trying to rewrite those protocols, but that is current military protocol. How is the country going to feel about seeing this, Robes?
00:10:45
Speaker 2: We, this is all so barbaric. I don't even know what to say.
00:10:50
Speaker 3: This one's going to be something. We're going to do a full episode on this as well. It will be in our feed shortly. Look for that one. But Robes, this is, if this goes through, he has some legal steps he can take and maybe delay. But man, if this goes through.
00:11:04
Speaker 2: All right. Okay. More to come on that. Next up on the run. This is just a hell of a story. A tragic and unfortunately early passing for a man who spent 23 years in prison and was on death row in Mississippi for a crime he didn't commit. 56-year-old Curtis Flowers finally got his conviction and death sentence thrown out after spending decades behind bars and and enduring six separate trials.
00:11:31
Speaker 3: All right, so he was 26 when he was arrested after four people were shot and killed inside a Mississippi furniture store. That was back in 1996. He was tried six times for the quadruple murder, and then in 2010, he was sentenced to death. That was reversed because of prosecutorial misconduct.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Reversed by the Supreme Court.
00:11:52
Speaker 3: So after being released in 2019, Mississippi ultimately dropped the charges and Therefore, 2020, he's finally free and clear, and they even pay him robes for wrongful imprisonment.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: This story is a story of life ain't fair.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: This just ain't fair.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: He has been out of prison since he was 50. And imagine the idea of going through six separate trials. Some he was convicted. Then they'd be overturned. Then there'd be a hung jury. But it was just nonstop. prosecution, and eventually landing on death row until the Supreme Court steps in. So then six years after he's freed, he dies. We don't have word on his cause of death, but this story has so many unbelievable twists and turns, and it's an ugly story about our justice system. We're going to have a full episode on this as well later in our feed, and you have to hear it to believe it. But we just want to honor him and just wish his family the best. Hopefully, we'll get some more details on what happened. In the meantime, though, next up on the run, a Massachusetts mom has been found dead and police this morning have her son in custody after a manhunt throughout the day yesterday. 49-year-old Andrea Hannafin was found dead in her Redding, Massachusetts home early, well, I guess it was late Friday night by her husband. Sorry, early. I can't speak here. She was found Thursday morning in the overnight hours.
00:13:21
Speaker 1: There it is.
00:13:22
Speaker 2: Yes. And she is believed to be, um, have been shot by her own son, her older son, the couple's younger son, a 13 year old was in the house at the time and was unharmed. But yes, the 22 year old Ryan Hannafin, who also lived in the home was missing immediately after her death. His car was missing as well. They considered him a person of interest, considered him armed and dangerous, and they ultimately took him into custody in Vermont last night. We don't have a motive here. This is a bizarre and horrific tragedy there in Reading, Massachusetts. He'll be in court later this afternoon.
00:14:01
Speaker 3: All right, well, stay with us, folks, here on this Friday morning run. When we come back, NBC, NBC News. You got Diddy in trouble. Also coming up, we knew these were going to be great scenes out in San Diego, and they certainly were. The USS Abraham Lincoln is officially home and the box office this weekend.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: We were excited.
00:14:32
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ and your morning run, your Friday morning run. And next up, no surprise here. After that NBC report on Sean Diddy Combs' privileged, pampered prison life, you know, where he's reportedly spending thousands of dollars a month to fellow inmates for massages, meals, maid service. He has nudes on his smuggled-in phone and, oh, yeah, some weekend, I guess, fun.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, with the good stuff.
00:15:02
Speaker 2: With the Hennessy, with the cognac. Yeah, that report. Well, it's had an impact. His release date apparently has just shifted, and fairly dramatically. Before the story, Diddy was supposed to be released on January 21st, 2028. Now his release date has moved to March 2nd, 2028, and People Magazine is reporting it has confirmed Diddy remains in solitary confinement. He was put there reportedly almost immediately after this NBC report came out, and he is still there.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: You know what?
00:15:37
Speaker 3: So folks in that prison got him in trouble. Somebody was talking to NBC News.
00:15:42
Speaker 2: At least four, right?
00:15:43
Speaker 1: At least, they said they had.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:15:46
Speaker 1: Oh, how's that going to go when he gets out of solitary? He's known to, you know, be one to take.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: Revenge? Yeah.
00:15:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:15:55
Speaker 2: We shall see, but he better be on his best behavior or that's just going to keep moving back and back and back.
00:16:00
Speaker 1: Almost two months at it now.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: All right.
00:16:01
Speaker 3: Well, continue on the run here now. They're finally back home. Welcome home, 7,500... Service members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Robes, we knew these were going to be awesome, awesome pictures. They had been out to sea some 300 days and, what was it, 286 straight days at sea without porting at all. But, Robes, we saw folks seeing their babies for the first time. The hugs with the kids were always awesome. It's just, that stuff's awesome.
00:16:28
Speaker 2: It is, especially when you come out of a situation where this is unheard of, but the ship was plagued by difficult conditions on board, minimal or at least even disappearing rations and toiletries. And family members reporting their loved ones were having major mental health difficulty. We know there were at least eight attempted suicides, as in people, servicemen and women wanting to or trying to jump off the ship. So certainly good to see them all back home and happy and surrounded by their family.
00:17:02
Speaker 3: And they did get a citation, the presidential unit citation. Congrats to them. It's the highest honor a complete unit can get.
00:17:09
Speaker 1: So that's cool. But good to see them back then.
00:17:11
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, for the final leg of our run, the movie that's preview, Freaked People Out, is finally coming out this weekend, and that would be a good thing for us. We were excited that people were freaked out. We were excited that we might be scared. Halloween's coming up. Woo-hoo! Other Mommy with Jessica Chastain. We love Jessica Chastain.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: Love her and put her in a horror movie?
00:17:34
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:17:34
Speaker 1: This could not go wrong for us.
00:17:35
Speaker 2: I love her in that movie Mama. She's kind of like, yeah, she's like the new girlfriend, the punk rock girlfriend. I love her in that movie. Yes, but Other Mommy, apparently the reviewers... Didn't think it was so good.
00:17:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's 20% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. It is expected to be number one at the box office. I think $ 20 million it's supposed to pull in. But we'll go check it out. We were very excited about it.
00:18:00
Speaker 2: I will say when reviewers review something poorly or badly and I go in with very low expectations, I almost always am pleasantly surprised because it's never as bad as I think it's going to be. I'm hoping that's the case here.
00:18:11
Speaker 1: I'm still rooting for Digger to do better.
00:18:14
Speaker 2: Yes, me too.
00:18:15
Speaker 1: Because we really did enjoy Tom Cruise and Digger. I liked it.
00:18:18
Speaker 2: Maybe you can pull in another couple million this weekend. Social Reckoning is out. How is that expected to do? I thought those previews looked really good as well.
00:18:27
Speaker 3: What's her name? Mikey Madsen that won for Onora. She's the lead. She's the one, the whistleblower on Facebook essentially. This one looks intense. Yeah, so that's out this weekend as well. Those are the big new ones this weekend, but Yeah, a lot of horror movies. Oh, yes, we'll have some horror movies for you. How do you want to tease what we're doing this weekend?
00:18:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we, starting this weekend, in the countdown to Halloween, we actually have, counting this weekend, four weekends of spookiness. So we thought we would fill our weekend feed with horror movie recommendations, but not just generally horror movies. No, we're going to put these into the sub-genres. We've joked about this often. But now there are so many horror movies, much to our delight. that there are sub-genres. We can give you some ideas, like horror comedy, supernatural horror, slasher horror, there's zombie horror, there's... Yeah.
00:19:25
Speaker 1: Then it gets even more specific to cabin-in-the-woods horror. Yeah. Cabin in the Woods.
00:19:32
Speaker 2: There's alien sci-fi horror.
00:19:33
Speaker 1: There's flesh-eating horror. There's body horror, right?
00:19:36
Speaker 2: There's all sorts of different sub-genres. So we're going to break down Saturdays and Sundays into our favorite sub-genres and give you our best horror movie rec so that you can really fully immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit with fine films, at least films we've deemed fine.
00:19:53
Speaker 1: From experts. Yes, experts.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: I would say we're experts when it comes to horror movies. We might not know just, I don't know, all the... What do you have to have in your resume to be an official film critic?
00:20:06
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a school for that. You just have to have a journalism background.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: Well, then, okay, then we're film critics.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: There you go.
00:20:11
Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and give us that stamp. All right. On this Friday, here is your quote of the day. Forget the whole staircase. Just take one step. You do not have to fix it all today.
00:20:25
Speaker 1: Was that MLK said something like that?
00:20:29
Speaker 2: This was taken from a Japanese proverb. It was translated. I like the idea. So often we get overwhelmed about what we all, what we have to do every day.
00:20:37
Speaker 1: Do it all the time.
00:20:38
Speaker 2: And I just, if you can get, I just like reminding myself, forget the whole staircase. Just take one step. You do not have to fix it all today.
00:20:47
Speaker 3: I use that in emergencies sometimes. Really, I got so much stuff to do to get through this whatever.
00:20:53
Speaker 1: I got to just do the next thing.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: You've got to stop and just say, what is the next thing?
00:20:59
Speaker 2: It does help. You can feel your whole body calm down when you take it one step at a time. Even when you're running a marathon, that's what you tell yourself, right?
00:21:08
Speaker 1: Painful step at a time.
00:21:11
Speaker 2: And with that, everyone, we hope you have an awesome Friday. Please continue to check out our feed. We have a lot of great stories coming in again. If you want to get some horror movie recommendations, we're the place to turn to. I'm Amy Robach, everyone. Thanks for running with us.
00:21:23
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there, everybody. Good morning and welcome to Morning Run. Yes, it is Friday, October 9th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:13
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. We are starting off the weekend with a little disappointment.
00:00:18
Speaker 3: We were just dealing with some news, a movie we've been really looking forward to that had people buzzing for a while.
00:00:24
Speaker 1: It's being horribly reviewed. This is very disappointing.
00:00:28
Speaker 2: This is so disappointing, Amy. You know all the hubbub people were all scared unnecessarily so during The Odyssey, the trailer that popped up and scared the heck out of folks who don't necessarily like horror movies, Other Mommy with Jessica Chastain. When we saw that trailer during The Odyssey, we were pumped. I have been waiting. I have been counting down the days for Other Mommy's release. And now we see the reviews.
00:00:59
Speaker 1: Yeah. 20% Rotten Tomatoes. That's a tough blow.
00:01:02
Speaker 3: And I've read a few this morning and they're kind of consistent. But still, we got to go see it.
00:01:07
Speaker 1: Obviously. We have to. That's just how we are. But maybe we'll love it. We'll report back.
00:01:12
Speaker 3: But wherever you may be and starting off your Friday and starting off your weekend, hope you are getting off to a good start. We have a couple of developing stories this morning. literally minutes before we came on, we got word about the Nobel Peace Prize, and we need to give you an update on the hurricane that's churning in the Gulf Coast. But we're making stops in Fort Dix, Texas, Fort Hood, excuse me, no, Fort Dix, New Jersey, Fort Hood, Texas. We'll be making those stops today. Also in Massachusetts and Nashville and San Diego as well. But first, let's start I guess with the update about this hurricane, Robes, this thing appears to be getting stronger.
00:01:47
Speaker 2: Yes. Hurricane Isaias. An update for you. It is now a Category 2 storm. And yes, it is strengthening. It's expected to make landfall. Late tonight or early tomorrow, somewhere along the Alabama coastline. But Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida all have multiple storm warnings. Some places are preparing for more than a foot of rain and up to seven feet of storm surge. This is this is they haven't had a storm barreling towards them in in a lot of time. Unfortunately, they've had a lot of experience with this. So the local areas there know what to do and hopefully residents know when to get out.
00:02:31
Speaker 3: This thing is picking up steam. Heading to the Gulf Coast. It's going to be a it's going to be a rough day, night, maybe weekend. Yeah, no folks talking about football games down there, but football games be damned. This is getting more and more serious. The other developing story, again, we're just getting word minutes before we came on here about the Nobel Peace Prize, and I guess robes a lot of the headlines already. Don't even write in the name of the person who won. It just says, Trump loses.
00:03:00
Speaker 2: Right? I mean, that's pretty much the only reason why most people were glued to their sets at 5 a.m. Eastern time. It was to see if Look, did anyone actually think that President Trump was going to receive it?
00:03:13
Speaker 3: Well, stranger things have happened, I guess we could say. But Navi Pillai is her name. Navi Pillai, she's described as an international jurist. I believe she's 85, Rose, but she has got a hell of a resume in promoting peace and international law. I think she was the human rights chief at the UN for a little while. But as far as her resume, her lifetime of work, Certainly deserving. And now folks will wait to see what the reaction will be from the White House and maybe in particular President Trump.
00:03:42
Speaker 2: There's always next year. He could be the Meryl Streep of the Nobel Peace Prize if he just keeps getting nominated.
00:03:50
Speaker 1: I was going to say the Susan Lucci.
00:03:53
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true. I think Susan Lucci is probably the better example. He wants to be Meryl Streep. He's Susan Lucci. All right, next up on the run, New York leaders are expressing outrage after an ICE-involved shooting in a residential neighborhood. Thursday afternoon, police say ICE agents shot a man while his five-year-old child was in the car with him.
00:04:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's around four in the afternoon in the Marble Hill neighborhood. This is way up there in upper Manhattan. But the Department of Homeland Security said, yes, the man was the target of an enforcement action. Don't have all the details about what led up to the shooting, but the New York Police Department says the ICE officer fired at least seven times. Now, the mayor demanding the president pull ICE agents out of the city. The man is in stable condition. Even wrote he was shot somewhere around the neck. But there's video of him just sitting on the ground in handcuffs before the ambulance gets there. So it Don't know how bad a shape he was in, but still this is.
00:04:54
Speaker 2: In front of his child.
00:04:55
Speaker 3: And roves on a crowded New York neighborhood. This is going to fire. And there were protests. You see the clashes already last night with people in the city and police.
00:05:07
Speaker 2: All right, so more to come on that. But next up on the run, lawyers for Krista Pike have given another update on her condition. They say she's been up and walking around her hospital room with assistance, but even though she's been making great strides physically, they say there is still uncertainty about her cognitive recovery.
00:05:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, she survived, of course, that botched execution in Tennessee last week in which she was given two doses of what should have been fatal doses of pentobarbital. Her attorneys claim she has cognitive challenges that her doctors say could take months to fully understand.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: They're still asking for the governor to commute her sentence.
00:05:51
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, the U.S. will not launch any more attacks on Iran until after the midterms.
00:05:59
Speaker 1: Huh.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: A really odd declaration from the president yesterday. He had a lot to say about it on True Social. He said, we are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that while Iran is in very bad condition, both economically and militarily, And while the blockade will remain in full force and effect, with oil flowing in record numbers of barrels through the Hormuz Strait, 22 million barrels last night alone, with not one barrel coming from or going to Iran. This is still the same sentence, by the way. We will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: Why announce that?
00:06:46
Speaker 2: Why would you announce that?
00:06:47
Speaker 3: What an odd thing prior to the midterms. Who is that message for? Is it for voters? Why would you signal that to your enemy?
00:06:55
Speaker 2: I don't know.
00:06:56
Speaker 1: That y'all can chill at least until the midterms. I don't know.
00:07:00
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me.
00:07:02
Speaker 3: But it continued some odd stuff on Truth Social from the president with this.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: Tell me what this means. Robes, a totally different....
00:07:10
Speaker 3: On its own true social post, he says, the White House considers anyone that uses the term artificial intelligence as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term super intelligence the enemy. Signed, President Donald J.
00:07:26
Speaker 1: Trump.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: If you don't do what I say, which is change the name of Artificial intelligence? Didn't he do that in front? Was that the UN where he did that?
00:07:36
Speaker 1: Yes. Seuss said, I'm going to change it to super intelligence, see how much power I have. That thing?
00:07:40
Speaker 2: I'm worried about him. I'm worried about us. I'm worried about his mental health. That is bizarre beyond belief. That is paranoid. That is just this, I am the supreme leader who declares things to be named this, and from this day forward, you must refer to this as that, or you are my enemy.
00:07:59
Speaker 3: Will his supporters say, y'all calm down, he's just being funny? I mean, we'll dismiss. I don't know how else to take that.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: I don't think a president should be confusing, though. I shouldn't wonder whether or not he's joking or not.
00:08:14
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
00:08:18
Speaker 2: That's dangerous.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: Not the president. Is he for real?
00:08:23
Speaker 2: And if it's like that every day, I don't know that that is effective leadership, but... Okay. Well, in terms of, let's just stay on theme with bizarre, confusing.
00:08:34
Speaker 1: What is happening?
00:08:35
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on in our country? Next up on the run, well, how about a public execution, everybody? After Krista Pike, that seems like the right thing to do. Let's have a public execution. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he is going to make the military's first execution in 60 years available for all to see. Yes, President Trump earlier this week approved the firing squad execution of Nadal Hassan, who killed 13, injured 30 others in that mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, back in 2009.
00:09:08
Speaker 3: All right, so Pete Hegseth got everybody's attention yesterday.
00:09:11
Speaker 1: He did an interview, Robes, and he said this.
00:09:14
Speaker 3: So he's going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we'll make sure that people are able to watch it and that it's public because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things.
00:09:25
Speaker 2: Rrrr!
00:09:26
Speaker 3: That raised some eyebrows. Like, what is he talking about? Well, the Pentagon followed up later and confirmed, yes, they are going to live stream this thing on December 3rd, baby.
00:09:39
Speaker 2: What? Is it going to be like pay-per-view and you have to like raise money? No, I'm just... This is weird. It's like a fighting match or some sort of like.
00:09:49
Speaker 1: We don't do this. This is frightening. You know who does this? North Korea. Iran.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: I was just going to say that.
00:09:56
Speaker 1: Public executions, baby? What are we doing? And by the.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: way, look, I am all for, we're having a moment. We are having a death penalty moment in this country right now.
00:10:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are.
00:10:09
Speaker 3: After Krista Pike, and now we're going to put this, and this is going to be ugly because you know what, Robes?
00:10:14
Speaker 1: This guy is in a wheelchair. He was paralyzed in that.
00:10:19
Speaker 3: You're supposed to put him, protocol says you have to put him in his uniform. Protocol says you have to have eight people lined up with rifles. And if it doesn't work, then one of them is supposed to walk up to him and put a pistol to his head and finish the job. Now, they're trying to rewrite those protocols, but that is current military protocol. How is the country going to feel about seeing this, Robes?
00:10:45
Speaker 2: We, this is all so barbaric. I don't even know what to say.
00:10:50
Speaker 3: This one's going to be something. We're going to do a full episode on this as well. It will be in our feed shortly. Look for that one. But Robes, this is, if this goes through, he has some legal steps he can take and maybe delay. But man, if this goes through.
00:11:04
Speaker 2: All right. Okay. More to come on that. Next up on the run. This is just a hell of a story. A tragic and unfortunately early passing for a man who spent 23 years in prison and was on death row in Mississippi for a crime he didn't commit. 56-year-old Curtis Flowers finally got his conviction and death sentence thrown out after spending decades behind bars and and enduring six separate trials.
00:11:31
Speaker 3: All right, so he was 26 when he was arrested after four people were shot and killed inside a Mississippi furniture store. That was back in 1996. He was tried six times for the quadruple murder, and then in 2010, he was sentenced to death. That was reversed because of prosecutorial misconduct.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Reversed by the Supreme Court.
00:11:52
Speaker 3: So after being released in 2019, Mississippi ultimately dropped the charges and Therefore, 2020, he's finally free and clear, and they even pay him robes for wrongful imprisonment.
00:12:03
Speaker 1: This story is a story of life ain't fair.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:12:06
Speaker 1: This just ain't fair.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: He has been out of prison since he was 50. And imagine the idea of going through six separate trials. Some he was convicted. Then they'd be overturned. Then there'd be a hung jury. But it was just nonstop. prosecution, and eventually landing on death row until the Supreme Court steps in. So then six years after he's freed, he dies. We don't have word on his cause of death, but this story has so many unbelievable twists and turns, and it's an ugly story about our justice system. We're going to have a full episode on this as well later in our feed, and you have to hear it to believe it. But we just want to honor him and just wish his family the best. Hopefully, we'll get some more details on what happened. In the meantime, though, next up on the run, a Massachusetts mom has been found dead and police this morning have her son in custody after a manhunt throughout the day yesterday. 49-year-old Andrea Hannafin was found dead in her Redding, Massachusetts home early, well, I guess it was late Friday night by her husband. Sorry, early. I can't speak here. She was found Thursday morning in the overnight hours.
00:13:21
Speaker 1: There it is.
00:13:22
Speaker 2: Yes. And she is believed to be, um, have been shot by her own son, her older son, the couple's younger son, a 13 year old was in the house at the time and was unharmed. But yes, the 22 year old Ryan Hannafin, who also lived in the home was missing immediately after her death. His car was missing as well. They considered him a person of interest, considered him armed and dangerous, and they ultimately took him into custody in Vermont last night. We don't have a motive here. This is a bizarre and horrific tragedy there in Reading, Massachusetts. He'll be in court later this afternoon.
00:14:01
Speaker 3: All right, well, stay with us, folks, here on this Friday morning run. When we come back, NBC, NBC News. You got Diddy in trouble. Also coming up, we knew these were going to be great scenes out in San Diego, and they certainly were. The USS Abraham Lincoln is officially home and the box office this weekend.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: We were excited.
00:14:32
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone, to Amy and TJ and your morning run, your Friday morning run. And next up, no surprise here. After that NBC report on Sean Diddy Combs' privileged, pampered prison life, you know, where he's reportedly spending thousands of dollars a month to fellow inmates for massages, meals, maid service. He has nudes on his smuggled-in phone and, oh, yeah, some weekend, I guess, fun.
00:15:01
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, with the good stuff.
00:15:02
Speaker 2: With the Hennessy, with the cognac. Yeah, that report. Well, it's had an impact. His release date apparently has just shifted, and fairly dramatically. Before the story, Diddy was supposed to be released on January 21st, 2028. Now his release date has moved to March 2nd, 2028, and People Magazine is reporting it has confirmed Diddy remains in solitary confinement. He was put there reportedly almost immediately after this NBC report came out, and he is still there.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: You know what?
00:15:37
Speaker 3: So folks in that prison got him in trouble. Somebody was talking to NBC News.
00:15:42
Speaker 2: At least four, right?
00:15:43
Speaker 1: At least, they said they had.
00:15:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:15:46
Speaker 1: Oh, how's that going to go when he gets out of solitary? He's known to, you know, be one to take.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: Revenge? Yeah.
00:15:53
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:15:55
Speaker 2: We shall see, but he better be on his best behavior or that's just going to keep moving back and back and back.
00:16:00
Speaker 1: Almost two months at it now.
00:16:01
Speaker 2: All right.
00:16:01
Speaker 3: Well, continue on the run here now. They're finally back home. Welcome home, 7,500... Service members aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Robes, we knew these were going to be awesome, awesome pictures. They had been out to sea some 300 days and, what was it, 286 straight days at sea without porting at all. But, Robes, we saw folks seeing their babies for the first time. The hugs with the kids were always awesome. It's just, that stuff's awesome.
00:16:28
Speaker 2: It is, especially when you come out of a situation where this is unheard of, but the ship was plagued by difficult conditions on board, minimal or at least even disappearing rations and toiletries. And family members reporting their loved ones were having major mental health difficulty. We know there were at least eight attempted suicides, as in people, servicemen and women wanting to or trying to jump off the ship. So certainly good to see them all back home and happy and surrounded by their family.
00:17:02
Speaker 3: And they did get a citation, the presidential unit citation. Congrats to them. It's the highest honor a complete unit can get.
00:17:09
Speaker 1: So that's cool. But good to see them back then.
00:17:11
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, for the final leg of our run, the movie that's preview, Freaked People Out, is finally coming out this weekend, and that would be a good thing for us. We were excited that people were freaked out. We were excited that we might be scared. Halloween's coming up. Woo-hoo! Other Mommy with Jessica Chastain. We love Jessica Chastain.
00:17:32
Speaker 1: Love her and put her in a horror movie?
00:17:34
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:17:34
Speaker 1: This could not go wrong for us.
00:17:35
Speaker 2: I love her in that movie Mama. She's kind of like, yeah, she's like the new girlfriend, the punk rock girlfriend. I love her in that movie. Yes, but Other Mommy, apparently the reviewers... Didn't think it was so good.
00:17:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's 20% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. It is expected to be number one at the box office. I think $ 20 million it's supposed to pull in. But we'll go check it out. We were very excited about it.
00:18:00
Speaker 2: I will say when reviewers review something poorly or badly and I go in with very low expectations, I almost always am pleasantly surprised because it's never as bad as I think it's going to be. I'm hoping that's the case here.
00:18:11
Speaker 1: I'm still rooting for Digger to do better.
00:18:14
Speaker 2: Yes, me too.
00:18:15
Speaker 1: Because we really did enjoy Tom Cruise and Digger. I liked it.
00:18:18
Speaker 2: Maybe you can pull in another couple million this weekend. Social Reckoning is out. How is that expected to do? I thought those previews looked really good as well.
00:18:27
Speaker 3: What's her name? Mikey Madsen that won for Onora. She's the lead. She's the one, the whistleblower on Facebook essentially. This one looks intense. Yeah, so that's out this weekend as well. Those are the big new ones this weekend, but Yeah, a lot of horror movies. Oh, yes, we'll have some horror movies for you. How do you want to tease what we're doing this weekend?
00:18:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we, starting this weekend, in the countdown to Halloween, we actually have, counting this weekend, four weekends of spookiness. So we thought we would fill our weekend feed with horror movie recommendations, but not just generally horror movies. No, we're going to put these into the sub-genres. We've joked about this often. But now there are so many horror movies, much to our delight. that there are sub-genres. We can give you some ideas, like horror comedy, supernatural horror, slasher horror, there's zombie horror, there's... Yeah.
00:19:25
Speaker 1: Then it gets even more specific to cabin-in-the-woods horror. Yeah. Cabin in the Woods.
00:19:32
Speaker 2: There's alien sci-fi horror.
00:19:33
Speaker 1: There's flesh-eating horror. There's body horror, right?
00:19:36
Speaker 2: There's all sorts of different sub-genres. So we're going to break down Saturdays and Sundays into our favorite sub-genres and give you our best horror movie rec so that you can really fully immerse yourself in the Halloween spirit with fine films, at least films we've deemed fine.
00:19:53
Speaker 1: From experts. Yes, experts.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: I would say we're experts when it comes to horror movies. We might not know just, I don't know, all the... What do you have to have in your resume to be an official film critic?
00:20:06
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a school for that. You just have to have a journalism background.
00:20:09
Speaker 2: Well, then, okay, then we're film critics.
00:20:10
Speaker 1: There you go.
00:20:11
Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and give us that stamp. All right. On this Friday, here is your quote of the day. Forget the whole staircase. Just take one step. You do not have to fix it all today.
00:20:25
Speaker 1: Was that MLK said something like that?
00:20:29
Speaker 2: This was taken from a Japanese proverb. It was translated. I like the idea. So often we get overwhelmed about what we all, what we have to do every day.
00:20:37
Speaker 1: Do it all the time.
00:20:38
Speaker 2: And I just, if you can get, I just like reminding myself, forget the whole staircase. Just take one step. You do not have to fix it all today.
00:20:47
Speaker 3: I use that in emergencies sometimes. Really, I got so much stuff to do to get through this whatever.
00:20:53
Speaker 1: I got to just do the next thing.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:20:56
Speaker 1: You've got to stop and just say, what is the next thing?
00:20:59
Speaker 2: It does help. You can feel your whole body calm down when you take it one step at a time. Even when you're running a marathon, that's what you tell yourself, right?
00:21:08
Speaker 1: Painful step at a time.
00:21:11
Speaker 2: And with that, everyone, we hope you have an awesome Friday. Please continue to check out our feed. We have a lot of great stories coming in again. If you want to get some horror movie recommendations, we're the place to turn to. I'm Amy Robach, everyone. Thanks for running with us.
00:21:23
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
