Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your morning run. It's Thursday, November 12th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. A lot of folks are going to have a wet and cold run today outside. Nor'easter?
00:00:19
Speaker 3: Nor'easter's coming. Yeah, you can get it in, though, in the morning.
00:00:22
Speaker 2: I think it starts bearing down on the northeast around noon and doesn't let up until Friday afternoon.
00:00:30
Speaker 3: Yes, that's according to our local meteorologist.
00:00:33
Speaker 1: Okay, clearly. That's some old school, you've been in the business a while lingo there. It's bearing down on the northeast. That's TV talk.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just spent a few years there.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Well, yeah. Wherever you may be, we are glad you're spending a little time here with us this morning. We have a number of stops to make. There is so much going on, including in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Florida. We'll also make a stop by Arlington National Cemetery. Make a stop in Ohio. In Brooklyn, we'll swing by the not-so-friendly skies. Also, we'll make a stop in Peru as well as in Nashville. But let's start with, we've been watching these live pictures really overnight. We've been seeing this and this work has been going on. Overnight, just another tragedy here in New York having to do with a building collapse.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is so frightening for anyone who lives in a high rise or just frankly in a building because. This is a worst-case scenario situation, and we know at least two people are dead at this hour. Seventeen others hospitalized after a building, yes, collapsed in Brooklyn yesterday. My daughter lives in Brooklyn. First thing I did, are you okay? It's just scary. You see these images and these aerials, but the firefighters were there within a moment of that collapse.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: That's why you say that. It's something we become accustomed to here in New York. When things happen, you start looking for your loved ones.
00:01:52
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:01:53
Speaker 1: You do. That's how it goes. But yeah, emergency crews have been out there all night, and they have been finding and rescuing people. Here's the thing. They don't know how many people they're looking for, even at this point. They don't know how many could be under there. They don't know how many are missing. But those rescues are continuing. They have had some success. We don't have an official cause for this collapse. You know that investigation is underway. There was some constructionâ Hard to get a handle. Adjacent to the building? Next to, but yeah, this is an ongoing situation.
00:02:26
Speaker 2: This was a three-story building that collapsed, and you could see from the images, it almost looked like a dollhouse.
00:02:31
Speaker 3: Like it was shaved off. A wall was shaved off.
00:02:34
Speaker 2: You could see people's bedrooms and closets. to think that families were in there moments before this collapse. And we know among the injured seven children, a pregnant woman was pulled from the rubble. And we know at least four of the people who have been injured and are hospitalized are currently listed in critical condition. So this is an ongoing situation and those first responders doing God's work.
00:02:58
Speaker 1: All right, next stop on the run. Now we will head to Arlington National Cemetery robes. Veterans Day yesterday. This is always a solemn ceremony. I think Every year, there have been very few exceptions, but presidents always show up and put a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown. But something else went down there that is getting a lot of attention. And Robes, I don't know if this wouldn't have gotten as much attention had it not been Pete Hexeth and so much of the language we've been hearing from him lately. But the guard that guards the Tomb of the Unknown soldier, this is a highly prestigious figure. post that they take very seriously. This guard forcefully scolded a group gathered at the Memorial on Veterans Day yesterday because that group was being loud and disrespectful. And Robes, who was in that group?
00:03:51
Speaker 2: Well, it included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, his wife, and a number of his aides who were all visiting the Memorial as a part of Veterans Day ceremony. Now, afterwards, the group was posing for pictures, and as they were walking away, you can hear someone from the group loudly laughing, almost cackling. And that prompted the Army Sentinel to shout in a very stern and loud voice, all visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect.
00:04:22
Speaker 3: At all times.
00:04:24
Speaker 1: The tone, he did what he was supposed to do. He did what they're trained to do. Apparently this happens a couple times a day. When visitors come through, we need to be reminded. But Robes, it's hard to convey if you've ever been there. Like you don't feel any part of your body, any part of you that feels like laughing or doing anything but being respectful to everything around. It doesn't matter if you're there with somebody or walking through by yourself. Robes, this place is just these grounds. It's hard to come up with a laugh.
00:04:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially on Veterans Day.
00:04:55
Speaker 1: Again, not getting on to, look, whatever. I mean, I'm sure they didn't mean any great respect, whoever was laughing, but it was striking given who he is and what he's been talking about and how the rest of us, you out there, don't respect the soldiers. Well, he scolds us daily. Yes, he does.
00:05:12
Speaker 2: Right? So a Pentagon spokesperson released this statement. The secretary and the entire department have always honored and will always honor the sacrifices our military men and women have made To keep America safe while commemorating the solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: What do we say all the time about apologies and statements, Robes? It hurts when you don't actually admit you did something wrong. They're saying the soldier did the right thing, but not that we did the wrong thing. It's just to say, you know what? We had someone in our group. We had a moment. That should never happen. And he did the right thing. And we're sorry. Just still leave that out.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: There was no apology.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: You cannot ever admit fault in these statements, babe. And that's another example. We see them on video. It's them.
00:06:04
Speaker 3: Obviously.
00:06:14
Speaker 2: All right, next up on the run, Jensen Wang might not survive this scandal. The NVIDIA board has reportedly been meeting to decide the fate of its famous CEO. An international scandal erupted this week when Wang admitted to an extramarital affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: So the company launched an investigation as its stock price has taken a beating this week by some estimates anywhere between $ 300 and $ 400. billion in market cap value gone as of this recording. Now, the company and Wong are also facing a class action lawsuit from investors who say they were misled. And now, the New York Times is reporting there is another woman that he had an affair with. This woman, though, is an executive at the company that reports to him.
00:07:04
Speaker 3: That is a fireable offense.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: That is. That's a problem. I can't believe we're here from... This has been a week. No, it's just Thursday. Robes, I didn't think we'd get to this. We are seriously talking about he is AI. He is in the middle of it. He provides the fuel to the AI.
00:07:26
Speaker 2: Engine.
00:07:27
Speaker 1: His technology. He's the guy. There is no succession plan. There's nothing else. Robes, I cannot believe this story.
00:07:35
Speaker 3: It has taken a nosedive from where it began.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: And look, it was already bad enough, the Chinese spy, any sort of national security being compromised.
00:07:46
Speaker 3: And now, yes, when you violate.
00:07:48
Speaker 2: That was, I guess, not a violation of company policy?
00:07:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the code of conduct that it's highly advisable. It's highly discouraged.
00:07:59
Speaker 3: Correct, okay. To have.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: But obviously a direct report is a whole other situation. All right, next up on the run, a week after Election Day, the Mississippi Senate race was finally called yesterday in a stunning and historic upset. Democrat Scott Colombe is the projected winner over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.
00:08:21
Speaker 1: This is the one they did not see coming. This was not on the board of possible pickups for Democrats. This is stunning. So the latest count, they got about 99% of the precincts reporting. Colombe held a 4,700 vote lead. It's small, but at this point, that's significant. He is now the first black senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction.
00:08:40
Speaker 3: That's cool.
00:08:41
Speaker 1: Robes, the first one since in 145 years. Robes, this is enormous for the state of Mississippi.
00:08:46
Speaker 3: And it was nice to see.
00:08:47
Speaker 2: It's sad that this is actually a good thing, but given recent developments in our political world, to see Cindy Hyde-Smith actually formally.
00:08:59
Speaker 3: Concede, basically.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: That's where we are. We're excited.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: Yay, someone's acknowledged that the voters made their decisions and recognizing that, yes, you have lost and congratulating your opponent. That is the way it is supposed to work, and it's nice to see that sometimes it still does.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: Now let me give you this terrifying scenario. What if this was the deciding seat in the Senate? Oh, my goodness.
00:09:22
Speaker 3: Thank God.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: Thank God that wasn't the case. So it was nice to see everything happen the way it did. All right, next up on the run, a couple of strange emergencies on board planes at Chicago O'Hare Airport yesterday. First, a United Airlines flight from Tokyo to Chicago declared an emergency because of an unruly passenger. The passenger was removed and taken to the hospital for evaluation when the plane landed. No further details about that incident were released.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: Okay, so another incident was a Frontier Airlines flight. It essentially sprung a leak. That flight was heading from Denver to Detroit, but had to make that emergency stop in Chicago because, yes, it was the faucet in the Ford lavatory. Had a leak. Started to flood the cabin.
00:10:07
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
00:10:07
Speaker 1: They had to stop. There's some video of it. It looks pretty soaked. This was significant. I don't know how that happened. I did this once on a plane. I screwed up in the bathroom. I messed up. And I started I caused the plane to start leaking.
00:10:22
Speaker 3: Seriously? What did you do? How do you mess up?
00:10:24
Speaker 1: I left. I was flying private at the time. And I did something. I didn't know the tricks of the trade to do something in the bathroom correctly. And I caused the leak. Swear to God.
00:10:36
Speaker 3: And did you have to have an emergency landing?
00:10:38
Speaker 1: No, we didn't have to do that. They sent me back and they... They corrected something. And I'll tell you later, you know who I was with on the flight. He gave me all kinds of help.
00:10:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're ruining my plane.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that.
00:10:48
Speaker 3: I've been on that plane too, actually.
00:10:50
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, police in Ohio are investigating, this is crazy, a possible double murder-suicide involving three 71-year-olds.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: Didn't you bring this to my attention?
00:11:03
Speaker 2: Yes. The three were found dead late Tuesday night at a home in North Royalton. That's a suburb about 15 miles north. south of Cleveland. Now police received a 911 call from a woman who said she spotted her ex-husband's car in the driveway of her parents' house.
00:11:19
Speaker 3: So she married a man the same age as her parents.
00:11:21
Speaker 1: All right.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: And that her ex was quote, not welcome there.
00:11:25
Speaker 2: Soren and Amelia Corson, both 71 were found dead. Police say they appeared to be shot in the head. And then they also found 71-year-old Stefan Pasku with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound and a firearm was near him. But there's no motive other than he was not welcome there, so obviously they didn't get along.
00:11:47
Speaker 3: But this was her ex.
00:11:49
Speaker 1: Of 10 years, she said, according to the 911 call. Said he just can't let go. We're going to be getting into this more. Some of the details in that 911 call in particular. What is going on there? Now, this seems to be a personal thing, but again, we have another case of an elderly person killing somebody.
00:12:07
Speaker 3: By the way, I didn't even bring this one to your attention.
00:12:10
Speaker 2: We may have to couple this with, there's another story where you had 70-year-olds shooting each other over ice cream, and two people are dead.
00:12:19
Speaker 3: This just happened as well. We keep talking about.
00:12:24
Speaker 2: Weird trends, and I say weird, but it is bizarre to have people over a certain age become homicidal but we've seen it quite often, actually, in recent months.
00:12:34
Speaker 1: Who knows what, but it's tough out there, and people are on edge for a lot of reasons, and maybe that's it. Oh, man, this is, I don't know. Where's the ice cream thing?
00:12:43
Speaker 3: I was actually going to look that up, because the.
00:12:47
Speaker 2: Quotes coming from the sheriff are actually saying, this is the most ridiculous murder that I have ever seen, and so, yeah, we can get into that, but it's crazy.
00:12:56
Speaker 1: All right, we'll continue on this morning run. Folks, we got two. Two executions scheduled to take place today, one in Texas, another in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma one is scheduled for 10 this morning. James Pavotte will die by lethal injection for the 2001 murder of his girlfriend's estranged husband. Police say he plotted the murder with that girlfriend, Brenda Andrew, who is also on death row in Oklahoma. Yes, she was convicted of this crime, too. She is the only woman on death row in Oklahoma. No execution date has been set for her.
00:13:29
Speaker 2: Then later tonight, Texas will execute 46-year-old John Allen Rubio.
00:13:34
Speaker 3: This is one of the.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: Most horrific crimes ever because, yes, he was convicted for killing three kids. Their ages, three, one, and two months old. The older two were his wife's that he was raising as his own, and the two-month-old little girl, Mary Jane, was his biological daughter he beheaded. these three kids. He said that he believed the kids were possessed and that he loved them, but he had to do it. These will be the 36th and the 37th executions of the year in the United States.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we'll stay with us on this Thursday morning run. When we come back, a welcome home, the likes of which we haven't quite seen. Yes, Pope Leo has made his way home. But he's not in the U.S., we'll explain. Also, a former NFL coach and a current ESPN analyst arrested for running over feet, we'll explain. And a horrible story from yesterday got a wonderful update.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your Friday Eve morning run. And next up on the run, Pope Leo has made.
00:14:54
Speaker 3: His way home.
00:14:55
Speaker 2: At least it was his home away from home for nearly two or for two decades. The American Pope is on the last leg of his South American tour. Three million people have turned out.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: That's the estimate. You see, this made me feel good. You know what? I've been looking for something positive and stories like this week. Rose, I was just overcome. It is so cool to see his smiling American face, the way he's being greeted.
00:15:22
Speaker 3: In Peru.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: It's really, really cool. He spent two decades there as a priest and a bishop. Rose, he has dual citizenship. I didn't realize. He is a citizen.
00:15:31
Speaker 3: That's very cool.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:15:33
Speaker 3: And so he got the welcome home.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
00:15:36
Speaker 2: Type of reception that you would expect for a Pope. So yes, it's awesome to see him receiving that type of love, especially coming just a few weeks.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: After his surgery for lung cancer.
00:15:48
Speaker 1: We were concerned about him.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: Look, you get a whole new perspective on life when you face something like that.
00:15:53
Speaker 3: And remarkably, it hadn't spread.
00:15:56
Speaker 2: Remarkably, he doesn't seem to have to undergo any extra treatment, which is damn near incredible.
00:16:03
Speaker 1: For lung cancer.
00:16:04
Speaker 3: He's 71, I believe.
00:16:06
Speaker 1: A 71-year-old just had surgery, what, two weeks ago? Three weeks ago. And he's on a 12-day... international tour like this. This is great to see. If you get a chance, just look at the pictures and listen to some of the sound of him riding that poke mobile and being greeted. Robes, they had people tearing down barricades to get to him, but for whatever reason, it didn't feel threatening. They were just so excited to get to him. I know, you can't have that. They got to protect. But Robes, it was just a scene. This was cool.
00:16:33
Speaker 3: It was just joy, like a rush of joy.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: Yes, it was cool.
00:16:37
Speaker 2: All right, next up on the run, former NFL head coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan. surrendered to police in Nashville yesterday for an alleged hit and run. He is being charged with misdemeanor counts of striking two pedestrians in his pickup truck.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: Now, Rosen, when we first heard that, hit and run sounded a certain way.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: Right.
00:16:58
Speaker 1: Let's explain what happened in downtown Nashville last week when these pedestrians were walking across the street. They were at a crosswalk, and then a pickup truck, quote, ran over both victims' feet. and making contact with one of the individual's legs. Now, Roe, the way the police explain it, these folks chased down the vehicle, and an argument ensued, and then Rex Ryan went on about his business and his day. I didn't see anything about two serious injuries.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Well, look, I hate to say it, but the fact that they both were able to chase him down and run down to confront him would suggest to me that the injuries were not Life-threatening. Or it didn't impede their ability to walk to him or run to him.
00:17:41
Speaker 1: Still, it's a hit and run. Yep. He's former head coach of the Buffalo Bills. And famously, the New York Jets.
00:17:48
Speaker 3: Deep pockets. I smell a lawsuit.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: Oh, boy. All right.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: For the final leg of our run, this is a fantastic, heartwarming update on the 11-month-old who was buried alive by his own father.
00:18:02
Speaker 1: Let's flip this and do the very good news at the end. I don't want to end on this, saying that the dad is taken into custody and he is facing charges right now, 25-year-old Michael Comer, for attempted murder. That's the dad. Now, the dad is facing all this because he had his kid on Monday. Babysitter showed up to take over. They were gone. Police launched a search. They found freshly disturbed dirt in the woods near a family home. They dug it up, found the 11-month-old clinging to life robes is how it was described. Clinging to life. Buried in a dog crate with a towel over him. So we were very, like, it's a miracle he's alive. But what they described clinging to life didn't sound good.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: No, it didn't.
00:18:45
Speaker 2: So authorities have now announced that little Koa Sharp has already been discharged from the hospital and is in the care of his family.
00:18:53
Speaker 3: It is awesome. You know what? The grandfather, we're starting to learn a little bit more.
00:18:57
Speaker 2: The grandfather was able to let police know that Michael had come by his home and asked if he could stay with him. So they realized, oh, maybe there's a connection to the father's home.
00:19:07
Speaker 1: There it is.
00:19:07
Speaker 2: And grandfather says when they brought the baby, you know, barely breathing, had been screaming, dirty... He said they laid him in the front of this truck, and all of a sudden, within a short period of time, the baby just sat up and was quiet. He fell to his knees, put his hands in the air, and said, thank you, God.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: Like, this kid, it's a miracle.
00:19:27
Speaker 1: He was found, like, on Tuesday? Yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker 2: He was buried on Monday afternoon.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: They found him on Tuesday.
00:19:35
Speaker 3: 24 hours.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: He's out of the hospital. So that lets us know. It sounds good for this kid. I would love to hear him tell this story. He can't, obviously. No.
00:19:45
Speaker 3: They said he was just learning to walk. He was just learning to stand up. Amazing.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: Got all those amazing milestones ahead of him now.
00:19:53
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He's got a one-year birthday coming up. Yeah. That's amazing. If they do a GoFundMe, I will contribute to his party. Yes. I will do anything for this kid right now. That's awesome.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: All right, on this Friday Eve, this is your quote of the day today. Your obsession with the why is an avoidance of what is.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: That's true. I always want why. You know what my mind first went to? Crimes. Of course. Why, why, why? I mean, everyday life, we struggle to figure out why somebody did it. Why do they look at me that way? Why did she say that? Why did he put it like that? All kinds of why. Eh, whatever.
00:20:30
Speaker 2: I know.
00:20:31
Speaker 3: It's so incredible.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: If you let go of the why, if you let go of that obsession almost for a lot of us to figure out why something happened, why me, why did he do this, all of that. If you let it go, you get peace on the other side. So your obsession with the why is an avoidance of what is.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: And with that, everyone, we hope you have a peaceful weekend.
00:20:57
Speaker 2: And wonderful Friday Eve, treated as such.
00:21:00
Speaker 3: Yes, it's Thursday, but it's also Friday Eve. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us. I'm Amy Roe.
00:21:07
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Don't obsess over the Y. Eh, obsess over something else today.
Speaker 1: Morning Run with Amy and TJ.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: An iHeartRadio podcast. Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your morning run. It's Thursday, November 12th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:11
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. A lot of folks are going to have a wet and cold run today outside. Nor'easter?
00:00:19
Speaker 3: Nor'easter's coming. Yeah, you can get it in, though, in the morning.
00:00:22
Speaker 2: I think it starts bearing down on the northeast around noon and doesn't let up until Friday afternoon.
00:00:30
Speaker 3: Yes, that's according to our local meteorologist.
00:00:33
Speaker 1: Okay, clearly. That's some old school, you've been in the business a while lingo there. It's bearing down on the northeast. That's TV talk.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just spent a few years there.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Well, yeah. Wherever you may be, we are glad you're spending a little time here with us this morning. We have a number of stops to make. There is so much going on, including in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Florida. We'll also make a stop by Arlington National Cemetery. Make a stop in Ohio. In Brooklyn, we'll swing by the not-so-friendly skies. Also, we'll make a stop in Peru as well as in Nashville. But let's start with, we've been watching these live pictures really overnight. We've been seeing this and this work has been going on. Overnight, just another tragedy here in New York having to do with a building collapse.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is so frightening for anyone who lives in a high rise or just frankly in a building because. This is a worst-case scenario situation, and we know at least two people are dead at this hour. Seventeen others hospitalized after a building, yes, collapsed in Brooklyn yesterday. My daughter lives in Brooklyn. First thing I did, are you okay? It's just scary. You see these images and these aerials, but the firefighters were there within a moment of that collapse.
00:01:47
Speaker 1: That's why you say that. It's something we become accustomed to here in New York. When things happen, you start looking for your loved ones.
00:01:52
Speaker 2: Yep.
00:01:53
Speaker 1: You do. That's how it goes. But yeah, emergency crews have been out there all night, and they have been finding and rescuing people. Here's the thing. They don't know how many people they're looking for, even at this point. They don't know how many could be under there. They don't know how many are missing. But those rescues are continuing. They have had some success. We don't have an official cause for this collapse. You know that investigation is underway. There was some constructionâ Hard to get a handle. Adjacent to the building? Next to, but yeah, this is an ongoing situation.
00:02:26
Speaker 2: This was a three-story building that collapsed, and you could see from the images, it almost looked like a dollhouse.
00:02:31
Speaker 3: Like it was shaved off. A wall was shaved off.
00:02:34
Speaker 2: You could see people's bedrooms and closets. to think that families were in there moments before this collapse. And we know among the injured seven children, a pregnant woman was pulled from the rubble. And we know at least four of the people who have been injured and are hospitalized are currently listed in critical condition. So this is an ongoing situation and those first responders doing God's work.
00:02:58
Speaker 1: All right, next stop on the run. Now we will head to Arlington National Cemetery robes. Veterans Day yesterday. This is always a solemn ceremony. I think Every year, there have been very few exceptions, but presidents always show up and put a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown. But something else went down there that is getting a lot of attention. And Robes, I don't know if this wouldn't have gotten as much attention had it not been Pete Hexeth and so much of the language we've been hearing from him lately. But the guard that guards the Tomb of the Unknown soldier, this is a highly prestigious figure. post that they take very seriously. This guard forcefully scolded a group gathered at the Memorial on Veterans Day yesterday because that group was being loud and disrespectful. And Robes, who was in that group?
00:03:51
Speaker 2: Well, it included Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, his wife, and a number of his aides who were all visiting the Memorial as a part of Veterans Day ceremony. Now, afterwards, the group was posing for pictures, and as they were walking away, you can hear someone from the group loudly laughing, almost cackling. And that prompted the Army Sentinel to shout in a very stern and loud voice, all visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect.
00:04:22
Speaker 3: At all times.
00:04:24
Speaker 1: The tone, he did what he was supposed to do. He did what they're trained to do. Apparently this happens a couple times a day. When visitors come through, we need to be reminded. But Robes, it's hard to convey if you've ever been there. Like you don't feel any part of your body, any part of you that feels like laughing or doing anything but being respectful to everything around. It doesn't matter if you're there with somebody or walking through by yourself. Robes, this place is just these grounds. It's hard to come up with a laugh.
00:04:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, and especially on Veterans Day.
00:04:55
Speaker 1: Again, not getting on to, look, whatever. I mean, I'm sure they didn't mean any great respect, whoever was laughing, but it was striking given who he is and what he's been talking about and how the rest of us, you out there, don't respect the soldiers. Well, he scolds us daily. Yes, he does.
00:05:12
Speaker 2: Right? So a Pentagon spokesperson released this statement. The secretary and the entire department have always honored and will always honor the sacrifices our military men and women have made To keep America safe while commemorating the solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: What do we say all the time about apologies and statements, Robes? It hurts when you don't actually admit you did something wrong. They're saying the soldier did the right thing, but not that we did the wrong thing. It's just to say, you know what? We had someone in our group. We had a moment. That should never happen. And he did the right thing. And we're sorry. Just still leave that out.
00:05:55
Speaker 3: There was no apology.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: You cannot ever admit fault in these statements, babe. And that's another example. We see them on video. It's them.
00:06:04
Speaker 3: Obviously.
00:06:14
Speaker 2: All right, next up on the run, Jensen Wang might not survive this scandal. The NVIDIA board has reportedly been meeting to decide the fate of its famous CEO. An international scandal erupted this week when Wang admitted to an extramarital affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: So the company launched an investigation as its stock price has taken a beating this week by some estimates anywhere between $ 300 and $ 400. billion in market cap value gone as of this recording. Now, the company and Wong are also facing a class action lawsuit from investors who say they were misled. And now, the New York Times is reporting there is another woman that he had an affair with. This woman, though, is an executive at the company that reports to him.
00:07:04
Speaker 3: That is a fireable offense.
00:07:06
Speaker 1: That is. That's a problem. I can't believe we're here from... This has been a week. No, it's just Thursday. Robes, I didn't think we'd get to this. We are seriously talking about he is AI. He is in the middle of it. He provides the fuel to the AI.
00:07:26
Speaker 2: Engine.
00:07:27
Speaker 1: His technology. He's the guy. There is no succession plan. There's nothing else. Robes, I cannot believe this story.
00:07:35
Speaker 3: It has taken a nosedive from where it began.
00:07:39
Speaker 2: And look, it was already bad enough, the Chinese spy, any sort of national security being compromised.
00:07:46
Speaker 3: And now, yes, when you violate.
00:07:48
Speaker 2: That was, I guess, not a violation of company policy?
00:07:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the code of conduct that it's highly advisable. It's highly discouraged.
00:07:59
Speaker 3: Correct, okay. To have.
00:08:01
Speaker 2: But obviously a direct report is a whole other situation. All right, next up on the run, a week after Election Day, the Mississippi Senate race was finally called yesterday in a stunning and historic upset. Democrat Scott Colombe is the projected winner over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.
00:08:21
Speaker 1: This is the one they did not see coming. This was not on the board of possible pickups for Democrats. This is stunning. So the latest count, they got about 99% of the precincts reporting. Colombe held a 4,700 vote lead. It's small, but at this point, that's significant. He is now the first black senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction.
00:08:40
Speaker 3: That's cool.
00:08:41
Speaker 1: Robes, the first one since in 145 years. Robes, this is enormous for the state of Mississippi.
00:08:46
Speaker 3: And it was nice to see.
00:08:47
Speaker 2: It's sad that this is actually a good thing, but given recent developments in our political world, to see Cindy Hyde-Smith actually formally.
00:08:59
Speaker 3: Concede, basically.
00:09:00
Speaker 1: That's where we are. We're excited.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: Yay, someone's acknowledged that the voters made their decisions and recognizing that, yes, you have lost and congratulating your opponent. That is the way it is supposed to work, and it's nice to see that sometimes it still does.
00:09:16
Speaker 1: Now let me give you this terrifying scenario. What if this was the deciding seat in the Senate? Oh, my goodness.
00:09:22
Speaker 3: Thank God.
00:09:24
Speaker 2: Thank God that wasn't the case. So it was nice to see everything happen the way it did. All right, next up on the run, a couple of strange emergencies on board planes at Chicago O'Hare Airport yesterday. First, a United Airlines flight from Tokyo to Chicago declared an emergency because of an unruly passenger. The passenger was removed and taken to the hospital for evaluation when the plane landed. No further details about that incident were released.
00:09:51
Speaker 1: Okay, so another incident was a Frontier Airlines flight. It essentially sprung a leak. That flight was heading from Denver to Detroit, but had to make that emergency stop in Chicago because, yes, it was the faucet in the Ford lavatory. Had a leak. Started to flood the cabin.
00:10:07
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
00:10:07
Speaker 1: They had to stop. There's some video of it. It looks pretty soaked. This was significant. I don't know how that happened. I did this once on a plane. I screwed up in the bathroom. I messed up. And I started I caused the plane to start leaking.
00:10:22
Speaker 3: Seriously? What did you do? How do you mess up?
00:10:24
Speaker 1: I left. I was flying private at the time. And I did something. I didn't know the tricks of the trade to do something in the bathroom correctly. And I caused the leak. Swear to God.
00:10:36
Speaker 3: And did you have to have an emergency landing?
00:10:38
Speaker 1: No, we didn't have to do that. They sent me back and they... They corrected something. And I'll tell you later, you know who I was with on the flight. He gave me all kinds of help.
00:10:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're ruining my plane.
00:10:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that.
00:10:48
Speaker 3: I've been on that plane too, actually.
00:10:50
Speaker 2: Next up on the run, police in Ohio are investigating, this is crazy, a possible double murder-suicide involving three 71-year-olds.
00:11:01
Speaker 1: Didn't you bring this to my attention?
00:11:03
Speaker 2: Yes. The three were found dead late Tuesday night at a home in North Royalton. That's a suburb about 15 miles north. south of Cleveland. Now police received a 911 call from a woman who said she spotted her ex-husband's car in the driveway of her parents' house.
00:11:19
Speaker 3: So she married a man the same age as her parents.
00:11:21
Speaker 1: All right.
00:11:21
Speaker 3: And that her ex was quote, not welcome there.
00:11:25
Speaker 2: Soren and Amelia Corson, both 71 were found dead. Police say they appeared to be shot in the head. And then they also found 71-year-old Stefan Pasku with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound and a firearm was near him. But there's no motive other than he was not welcome there, so obviously they didn't get along.
00:11:47
Speaker 3: But this was her ex.
00:11:49
Speaker 1: Of 10 years, she said, according to the 911 call. Said he just can't let go. We're going to be getting into this more. Some of the details in that 911 call in particular. What is going on there? Now, this seems to be a personal thing, but again, we have another case of an elderly person killing somebody.
00:12:07
Speaker 3: By the way, I didn't even bring this one to your attention.
00:12:10
Speaker 2: We may have to couple this with, there's another story where you had 70-year-olds shooting each other over ice cream, and two people are dead.
00:12:19
Speaker 3: This just happened as well. We keep talking about.
00:12:24
Speaker 2: Weird trends, and I say weird, but it is bizarre to have people over a certain age become homicidal but we've seen it quite often, actually, in recent months.
00:12:34
Speaker 1: Who knows what, but it's tough out there, and people are on edge for a lot of reasons, and maybe that's it. Oh, man, this is, I don't know. Where's the ice cream thing?
00:12:43
Speaker 3: I was actually going to look that up, because the.
00:12:47
Speaker 2: Quotes coming from the sheriff are actually saying, this is the most ridiculous murder that I have ever seen, and so, yeah, we can get into that, but it's crazy.
00:12:56
Speaker 1: All right, we'll continue on this morning run. Folks, we got two. Two executions scheduled to take place today, one in Texas, another in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma one is scheduled for 10 this morning. James Pavotte will die by lethal injection for the 2001 murder of his girlfriend's estranged husband. Police say he plotted the murder with that girlfriend, Brenda Andrew, who is also on death row in Oklahoma. Yes, she was convicted of this crime, too. She is the only woman on death row in Oklahoma. No execution date has been set for her.
00:13:29
Speaker 2: Then later tonight, Texas will execute 46-year-old John Allen Rubio.
00:13:34
Speaker 3: This is one of the.
00:13:37
Speaker 2: Most horrific crimes ever because, yes, he was convicted for killing three kids. Their ages, three, one, and two months old. The older two were his wife's that he was raising as his own, and the two-month-old little girl, Mary Jane, was his biological daughter he beheaded. these three kids. He said that he believed the kids were possessed and that he loved them, but he had to do it. These will be the 36th and the 37th executions of the year in the United States.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we'll stay with us on this Thursday morning run. When we come back, a welcome home, the likes of which we haven't quite seen. Yes, Pope Leo has made his way home. But he's not in the U.S., we'll explain. Also, a former NFL coach and a current ESPN analyst arrested for running over feet, we'll explain. And a horrible story from yesterday got a wonderful update.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your Friday Eve morning run. And next up on the run, Pope Leo has made.
00:14:54
Speaker 3: His way home.
00:14:55
Speaker 2: At least it was his home away from home for nearly two or for two decades. The American Pope is on the last leg of his South American tour. Three million people have turned out.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: That's the estimate. You see, this made me feel good. You know what? I've been looking for something positive and stories like this week. Rose, I was just overcome. It is so cool to see his smiling American face, the way he's being greeted.
00:15:22
Speaker 3: In Peru.
00:15:23
Speaker 1: It's really, really cool. He spent two decades there as a priest and a bishop. Rose, he has dual citizenship. I didn't realize. He is a citizen.
00:15:31
Speaker 3: That's very cool.
00:15:32
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:15:33
Speaker 3: And so he got the welcome home.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
00:15:36
Speaker 2: Type of reception that you would expect for a Pope. So yes, it's awesome to see him receiving that type of love, especially coming just a few weeks.
00:15:46
Speaker 3: After his surgery for lung cancer.
00:15:48
Speaker 1: We were concerned about him.
00:15:50
Speaker 2: Look, you get a whole new perspective on life when you face something like that.
00:15:53
Speaker 3: And remarkably, it hadn't spread.
00:15:56
Speaker 2: Remarkably, he doesn't seem to have to undergo any extra treatment, which is damn near incredible.
00:16:03
Speaker 1: For lung cancer.
00:16:04
Speaker 3: He's 71, I believe.
00:16:06
Speaker 1: A 71-year-old just had surgery, what, two weeks ago? Three weeks ago. And he's on a 12-day... international tour like this. This is great to see. If you get a chance, just look at the pictures and listen to some of the sound of him riding that poke mobile and being greeted. Robes, they had people tearing down barricades to get to him, but for whatever reason, it didn't feel threatening. They were just so excited to get to him. I know, you can't have that. They got to protect. But Robes, it was just a scene. This was cool.
00:16:33
Speaker 3: It was just joy, like a rush of joy.
00:16:35
Speaker 1: Yes, it was cool.
00:16:37
Speaker 2: All right, next up on the run, former NFL head coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan. surrendered to police in Nashville yesterday for an alleged hit and run. He is being charged with misdemeanor counts of striking two pedestrians in his pickup truck.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: Now, Rosen, when we first heard that, hit and run sounded a certain way.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: Right.
00:16:58
Speaker 1: Let's explain what happened in downtown Nashville last week when these pedestrians were walking across the street. They were at a crosswalk, and then a pickup truck, quote, ran over both victims' feet. and making contact with one of the individual's legs. Now, Roe, the way the police explain it, these folks chased down the vehicle, and an argument ensued, and then Rex Ryan went on about his business and his day. I didn't see anything about two serious injuries.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Well, look, I hate to say it, but the fact that they both were able to chase him down and run down to confront him would suggest to me that the injuries were not Life-threatening. Or it didn't impede their ability to walk to him or run to him.
00:17:41
Speaker 1: Still, it's a hit and run. Yep. He's former head coach of the Buffalo Bills. And famously, the New York Jets.
00:17:48
Speaker 3: Deep pockets. I smell a lawsuit.
00:17:50
Speaker 1: Oh, boy. All right.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: For the final leg of our run, this is a fantastic, heartwarming update on the 11-month-old who was buried alive by his own father.
00:18:02
Speaker 1: Let's flip this and do the very good news at the end. I don't want to end on this, saying that the dad is taken into custody and he is facing charges right now, 25-year-old Michael Comer, for attempted murder. That's the dad. Now, the dad is facing all this because he had his kid on Monday. Babysitter showed up to take over. They were gone. Police launched a search. They found freshly disturbed dirt in the woods near a family home. They dug it up, found the 11-month-old clinging to life robes is how it was described. Clinging to life. Buried in a dog crate with a towel over him. So we were very, like, it's a miracle he's alive. But what they described clinging to life didn't sound good.
00:18:44
Speaker 3: No, it didn't.
00:18:45
Speaker 2: So authorities have now announced that little Koa Sharp has already been discharged from the hospital and is in the care of his family.
00:18:53
Speaker 3: It is awesome. You know what? The grandfather, we're starting to learn a little bit more.
00:18:57
Speaker 2: The grandfather was able to let police know that Michael had come by his home and asked if he could stay with him. So they realized, oh, maybe there's a connection to the father's home.
00:19:07
Speaker 1: There it is.
00:19:07
Speaker 2: And grandfather says when they brought the baby, you know, barely breathing, had been screaming, dirty... He said they laid him in the front of this truck, and all of a sudden, within a short period of time, the baby just sat up and was quiet. He fell to his knees, put his hands in the air, and said, thank you, God.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: Like, this kid, it's a miracle.
00:19:27
Speaker 1: He was found, like, on Tuesday? Yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker 2: He was buried on Monday afternoon.
00:19:34
Speaker 1: They found him on Tuesday.
00:19:35
Speaker 3: 24 hours.
00:19:36
Speaker 1: He's out of the hospital. So that lets us know. It sounds good for this kid. I would love to hear him tell this story. He can't, obviously. No.
00:19:45
Speaker 3: They said he was just learning to walk. He was just learning to stand up. Amazing.
00:19:50
Speaker 2: Got all those amazing milestones ahead of him now.
00:19:53
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He's got a one-year birthday coming up. Yeah. That's amazing. If they do a GoFundMe, I will contribute to his party. Yes. I will do anything for this kid right now. That's awesome.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: All right, on this Friday Eve, this is your quote of the day today. Your obsession with the why is an avoidance of what is.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: That's true. I always want why. You know what my mind first went to? Crimes. Of course. Why, why, why? I mean, everyday life, we struggle to figure out why somebody did it. Why do they look at me that way? Why did she say that? Why did he put it like that? All kinds of why. Eh, whatever.
00:20:30
Speaker 2: I know.
00:20:31
Speaker 3: It's so incredible.
00:20:33
Speaker 2: If you let go of the why, if you let go of that obsession almost for a lot of us to figure out why something happened, why me, why did he do this, all of that. If you let it go, you get peace on the other side. So your obsession with the why is an avoidance of what is.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: And with that, everyone, we hope you have a peaceful weekend.
00:20:57
Speaker 2: And wonderful Friday Eve, treated as such.
00:21:00
Speaker 3: Yes, it's Thursday, but it's also Friday Eve. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us. I'm Amy Roe.
00:21:07
Speaker 1: And I'm TJ Holmes. Don't obsess over the Y. Eh, obsess over something else today.
