Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It's already Friday Eve, September 10th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:17
Speaker 2: Yes. Hello, everybody.
00:00:18
Speaker 3: I'm TJ Holmes on this Friday Eve. I guess Eve, September 10th, looking up there. Yes, tomorrow's a pretty big anniversary. It certainly is.
00:00:26
Speaker 2: 25th anniversary. We are right here in the neighborhood.
00:00:29
Speaker 3: We've lived down here for a long time, and we walk by and reflect daily at those footprints of the tower. So yeah, I guess in We've seen some of the stuff on TV and a lot of coverage of it. Looking at September 10th, it kind of just hit me differently in front of me.
00:00:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Actually walked by it yesterday, and it was cool to see how many people have already begun to gather. A much bigger crowd than we usually see. A lot more flowers placed along the memorials. It's always moving walking by, but especially when it comes close to the anniversary.
00:01:03
Speaker 4: And this is a big anniversary, as you point out.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt good. The tone and the mood, for whatever reason, was great. It was good.
00:01:08
Speaker 3: The security was as you would expect, and they're getting set for the ceremonies and whatnot tomorrow. But yes, hello everybody on this Friday Eve, wherever you might be. Hope you're getting a good start to your Thursday. We'll be making a number of stops along the way today. We'll make a stop at the Gas Pump. We'll make a stop at Studio H in Rockefeller Plaza. Make a stop in Massachusetts, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, as well as Cupertino, California.
00:01:30
Speaker 2: But let's start ropes in Texas. He's at it again.
00:01:37
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: And this is a record-scratching moment that's going to require some explanation. The president just promised every adult in the United States of America a $ 5, 000 check. We're not making this up. Yes, this all occurred as he was being featured at the Republican midterm convention, a first of its kind, last night when he revealed the payments. Obviously, there has to be a catch.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: Yes, the Republicans have to win.
00:02:11
Speaker 3: If Republicans win the House and the Senate, then you get your $ 5, 000 check. Now, Robes, he didn't say there was a catch. He didn't say you had to vote this way. He didn't say only Republicans are going to get it. He didn't say anything like that. Just every adult in the U.S. is going to get $ 5, 000 if the Republicans win. His exact quote, if the Republicans win the House and the United States Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America. For $ 5, 000, it, of course, is going to be called, Robes, the Trump dividend. And he said the money also would have to be spent.
00:02:46
Speaker 2: In the U.S.
00:02:47
Speaker 4: How are you going to police that?
00:02:49
Speaker 2: Question one. Question two.
00:02:52
Speaker 4: Is this legal? Because it certainly sounds like he's buying votes.
00:02:57
Speaker 2: Who knows?
00:02:57
Speaker 3: So, Robes, this might be legal. There's some wiggle room in there because he is not telling you how to vote. He's not telling you you have to vote. He's just saying this will be the result if we win.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: There might be some legal wiggle room for him.
00:03:18
Speaker 4: That is absolutely insane.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: Because obviously, if you want the $ 5, 000, the Republicans need to win.
00:03:25
Speaker 4: The choice is yours.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:03:27
Speaker 4: But you're being incentivized.
00:03:29
Speaker 2: That's the other thing.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: By money.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: There does seem to be influence.
00:03:33
Speaker 4: Given to you by the American taxpayer.
00:03:36
Speaker 3: Okay, remind you, though, one other thing. This is not a new thing for him. Your Doge check, did you ever get it?
00:03:42
Speaker 2: No, you didn't. Your tariff rebate check, did you ever get it? No, you didn't.
00:03:45
Speaker 3: He's promised these big things before, and they haven't come to fruition. So it got everybody's attention when he said that.
00:03:53
Speaker 1: Speaking of promising, he's been promising that the war with Iran was going to end soon. almost immediately for quite some time now. How many months are we?
00:04:02
Speaker 3: Seven months, and he was telling us, what, four to six weeks when it first started.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Correct, and we've heard that it's basically over, the deal is done, they're shaking in their boots. Well, next up in the run, President Trump has firmly declared now when the war with Iran will end.
00:04:18
Speaker 2: Circling on the calendar, baby.
00:04:19
Speaker 1: He was taking questions from reporters on the tarmac as he was about to board Air Force One, heading to Texas to the convention.
00:04:27
Speaker 4: Here was his prediction.
00:04:29
Speaker 3: He said, quote, I think the war is going to end immediately after the election. They can't hold out any longer. They're desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice, weak group of people in there and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapons. Okay, so Americans are already seven months into this war hearing, okay, we've got to go at least nine. That's sounding close to a year now. They don't want to hear that. And Republicans now, Robes, who have the next two months to go out there and campaign... They have to stand by the war, and they can't say, it's going to end soon, it's going to end, da-da-da. Robes, we've got another two months, at least, according to the president. Also, this was worth noting, Robes, this jet of his, what is going on?
00:05:12
Speaker 2: He was delayed once he got there.
00:05:14
Speaker 3: He was about to board, and the emergency slide had been deployed on the.
00:05:21
Speaker 2: New Qatari jet.
00:05:22
Speaker 4: A little concerning.
00:05:24
Speaker 3: Well, it's concerning that they won't give a straight answer. to was this a part of some test or was this an accident? Now, CBS, other outlets are reporting, yes, this was an accidental oops that somebody might have done.
00:05:36
Speaker 2: But the White House keeps going around it. Yes, it was part of whatever. They always want to make sure the plane is secure and checked out.
00:05:43
Speaker 1: That's part of the systems check. We just deploy the emergency slide just to see if it works.
00:05:49
Speaker 4: That happens in every flight. What are you talking about?
00:05:51
Speaker 2: Why not just be straight about something that simple?
00:05:53
Speaker 4: That's what's so frustrating about it.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: He was delayed about 20 minutes.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: If you can't be honest about things that are happening that we can see with our own eyes, how can we expect you to be honest about things that we might not be able to see.
00:06:06
Speaker 2: With our own eyes? What's up with this plane?
00:06:08
Speaker 4: Just acknowledge it.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, the pilot accidentally hit deploy emergency exit, whatever it is.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: Or what if it was a glitch in this lemon of a plane it seems that he got from the Qataris?
00:06:21
Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. It's a $ 400 million limit. It keeps having problems. It's not equipped to do this. Now the thing's just deploying.
00:06:27
Speaker 4: Emergency slides deploying. Okay.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: Also, speaking of the war with Iran and the impact or the ripple effects here and around the world, oil prices officially went over that $ 100 mark. $ 100 a barrel. It happened once again for the first time since July. And we know what that means. Higher oil prices absolutely equate to higher gas prices.
00:06:53
Speaker 3: And right now we're sitting at about $ 4. 27 a gallon. Big deal because we were about at $ 4 a month ago. So keep an eye on that. Head down to Florida now for the next leg of our run. We're a judge there in I could probably see her point on this one. She says she's not convinced that the Tate brothers are not a flight risk and ruled yesterday they'll have to stay in jail while they fight extradition. Tristan and Andrew Tate, the leaders of the manosphere to a certain degree, these influencers, were arrested in Miami in July. They're facing nearly 60 charges of rape and sex trafficking back in the UK, and they are fighting to keep from having to go back there to face those charges.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to stay in Florida for the next leg of our run, and the state is scheduled to carry out its nation-leading 15th execution of the year that happens tonight.
00:07:43
Speaker 4: Daniel Conahan Jr.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: Will die by lethal injection for a 1996 kidnapping and murder.
00:07:51
Speaker 3: Police say he lured his victim to the woods by promising to pay this man for posing for nude pics. Conahan, though, tied him to a tree, raped, strangled, and mutilated. This man, now he is convicted here, Robes. This is a huge story because, yes, he is going to die for one murder he was convicted of. Robes, they say it's possible he's responsible for at least a dozen others. The Hog Trail killings is what they called them. There were other victims found near where this one victim was, and they were never able to nail him for them with evidence, but they absolutely think he's responsible. And then you got the Fort Myers Eight in Newark. around the same time, eight men who were killed. Some of them never identified, but a lot of the circumstances were similar to this.
00:08:39
Speaker 2: They believe this guy is a serial killer.
00:08:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and if you look, and we'll get into this in a later episode, but if you look at the details surrounding how he killed at least this one man, the other murders are eerily and scarily similar, like mutilation of the genitals tied to a tree. I mean, he had a hallmark. He had a A sign-off, so to speak, as you often see with serial killers. So, yes, he is believed to.
00:09:05
Speaker 4: Have a wake of destruction in his path. And, yes, he is set to die tonight.
00:09:12
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, a Pennsylvania mother is facing charges in the death of her five-month-old child. What is going on in this case? Police say mom was inebriated. She was drunk at the time of her child's death.
00:09:28
Speaker 3: Didn't you, when I first saw headlines, I thought we were about to have another situation, but this is not some psychosis type thing.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: They said this was neglect.
00:09:35
Speaker 3: 25-year-old Deontay Nicole Beckett charged with involuntary manslaughter, also with endangering the welfare of a child. They claim, prosecutors claim, that Beckett was drunk at a hotel when she put her daughter in a spa tub. I think it was supposed to be a hot tub that she was in. The child eventually drowned. She was in court yesterday. I think the incident was back in May, but she's just facing the charges.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: Now.
00:10:01
Speaker 3: She waived a preliminary hearing. She is out, but bail was set at $ 100, 000. Just awful, awful, awful, awful.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, Lindsay Clancy's attorney is fighting to keep the state from retrying her.
00:10:14
Speaker 4: For the triple murder of her three children.
00:10:16
Speaker 1: A jury, as you, I'm sure, are well aware of, was deadlocked after seven days of deliberation that forced the judge to declare a mistrial. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is now saying he will file a motion to prevent a mistrial based on double jeopardy grounds and based on reports from jurors that one holdout was not following the law.
00:10:38
Speaker 4: He basically wants her.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: So she can walk free and she can stay in the mental hospital that she's in and that charges cannot be brought against her, that she will not face another trial.
00:10:49
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens, but a lot of eyes on this case.
00:10:52
Speaker 3: Rosie, he said, and it's worth noting, a plea deal is possible. It makes sense and maybe should have happened beforehand. He says he won't accept one that has her spending any time in jail.
00:11:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, not one day in jail, he said.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: So there you go. That is his red line in negotiations. All right, one we mentioned as well. NFL season officially underway. I know you were excited about this last night, Robes. You were all hyped up. Football is finally back. Season kicked off with the Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and the New England Patriots. And just like the Super Bowl, the Seahawks beat the Patriots 13-10. Another game is tonight, the Rams versus the 49ers in Australia. This is only, no, they don't usually start the season on a Wednesday.
00:11:34
Speaker 2: You're funny. They don't start. It's always on a Thursday.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: Obviously, everyone, he was teasing because we were watching, I think you fell asleep at the end, an amazing movie. I remember I saw on another TV in another room you had some football game on. You mean the opener of the 2026 season?
00:11:51
Speaker 4: We were watching The Whisper Man, Whispering Man. Yeah, The Whisper Man.
00:11:55
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.
00:11:56
Speaker 4: It's so good.
00:11:57
Speaker 3: Robert De Niro.
00:11:58
Speaker 1: Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott. I mean, just incredible. Oh, and Michael Keaton.
00:12:03
Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Such a great cast. Keaton's in there.
00:12:06
Speaker 4: It was an awesome movie.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Highly recommend. Football, schmuckball. Football is back, folks, by the way. It's a very big deal.
00:12:12
Speaker 3: But I was going to say, they had it on a Wednesday night because there's a game in Australia. The Thursday night game is in Australia.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:12:20
Speaker 3: Tonight between the 49ers and the Rams. They've been doing this. They are growing the game internationally, so they keep having games. I have a couple in different places, and it's been expanding.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:12:30
Speaker 2: That's kind of cool. All right.
00:12:32
Speaker 4: That's exciting, I think. I mean, I'm more excited about college football.
00:12:36
Speaker 2: Are you excited about the new Apple folding iPhone? Yes. Stay with us, folks.
00:12:40
Speaker 3: They just unveiled their first ever folding phone, and it's the most expensive phone ever. Also, it was the hottest summer ever, and night one of Saturday Night Live's new season is going to be maybe must-see television.
00:12:58
Speaker 2: Stay here. All right, folks, we continue here on this Friday Eve run.
00:13:12
Speaker 3: Everybody was pretty excited yesterday, Robes, about another Apple event. It's the first time the new CEO is doing his first one. But everybody was anticipating the folding phone, the first ever foldable iPhone.
00:13:24
Speaker 2: And yes, they did unveil it. Duo, how do you like the name? The Apple Duo iPhone.
00:13:29
Speaker 4: I mean, that's fine. I don't care about the name.
00:13:31
Speaker 1: I do think the idea of a foldable phone is pretty cool. For those of us who had the flip phones, there was something fun about when you're upset, like just closing it aggressively.
00:13:44
Speaker 3: You will not do that when you hear the price of this phone. You will handle this thing gently.
00:13:49
Speaker 2: Glass shatters.
00:13:50
Speaker 4: That's true.
00:13:51
Speaker 1: The company showed off the new phone at a big event in which they also showcased the new Phone 18.
00:13:56
Speaker 4: iPhone.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
00:13:59
Speaker 4: My eyes are not working.
00:14:00
Speaker 1: The new iPhone 18, the new AirPods, the new Apple Watch, all the new products.
00:14:06
Speaker 4: That's always exciting.
00:14:07
Speaker 2: We were just waiting for the.
00:14:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody cared.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: Get to the good stuff.
00:14:09
Speaker 4: They just wanted the iPhone.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: The star of the show, of course, was the new Duo, which the company says has the largest iPhone screen ever.
00:14:17
Speaker 4: Ever 7.6 inches.
00:14:19
Speaker 3: Uh yes so i mean look i guess let's get to the point how much is this thing cheapest model is two thousand dollars the cheapest goes.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: Up to 3200 for the most expensive.
00:14:29
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh um it's your pre-orders start october 16th i think they say they're going to be delivered by october 23rd but bro it's cool it's new and a lot of people are going to run out and get it it's weirdly shaped to use the phone it's shaped like a passport almost that's how even they described it a passport so it's a thick item the size of a passport that's how you would talk on the phone and you unfold and you almost have a i guess a mini mini ipad looking thing when you unfold.
00:15:00
Speaker 4: It that you've got to carry around with you yeah they said.
00:15:03
Speaker 3: It could fit in your pocket no problem like a passport it's just an oddly shaped thing and i wonder how that's going to go but man three grand for a phone.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm thinking, A, obviously no way, shape, or form will my children have that because, yes, with the way they deal with their iPhones. But I just think about how this is now going to be something that folks will try to steal even more. Just with that type of price tag attached to it, that just makes me nervous. Like, hold your phone close because that isâ think about that, walking around with a $ 3, 000 anythingâ you are going to be a target for thieves.
00:15:38
Speaker 4: That's all I could think about. Like that's scary.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: That is a, you make a good point.
00:15:42
Speaker 1: Like if you had a $ 3, 000 purse, a $ 3, 000 ring, like that, that's something that people would look to steal. Wow.
00:15:47
Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. Yeah, man. You're raining on the apple.
00:15:51
Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Uh, all right, let's move on to better news. Um, I don't know if this is better news. Um, did it seem like a hot summer? We're in the Northeast, so maybe not so much, but apparently.
00:16:02
Speaker 2: We complained a lot about how hot it was.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: We did, I guess.
00:16:04
Speaker 4: It's so humid. It's so humid. And guess what?
00:16:07
Speaker 1: You weren't wrong if you thought this was the hottest summer in a while, because it turns out it was the hottest summer on record ever here in the United States.
00:16:17
Speaker 4: That's remarkable.
00:16:18
Speaker 3: 74.4 degrees was the average temperature. Now, the previous record was 74 degrees.
00:16:25
Speaker 2: Robes, that's kind of blowing through the record.
00:16:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a huge jump, almost a half a degree.
00:16:29
Speaker 3: And the only hotter summers, the famous summer of 1936, and then 2021, I didn't realize we had matched.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: But I guess we're getting hotter, Robes, but they are paying attention to this.
00:16:40
Speaker 3: We just blew through the previous record.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: I mean, look what happened in Nepal with the melting glacier. I mean, this is scary stuff. All right, for the final leg of our run, Saturday Night Live just announced... who will be hosting their season 52 premiere, and it's kind of awesome.
00:16:58
Speaker 2: This is awesome.
00:16:59
Speaker 3: It feels very, maybe to us, it feels very local. We, I know people watch Saturday Night Live all over. It feels like ours here in New York for some reason. It feels like a very New York thing.
00:17:09
Speaker 1: It is a very New York thing, and look, I think you and I have both had, and this was years and years and years ago. But when you get to go into Studio 8H, and we only get to see the rehearsal, but it's so fun.
00:17:19
Speaker 3: And wildly unimpressive how small that studio is.
00:17:23
Speaker 2: When you see it on TV, and then you see it.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: When I worked at the Today Show, every now and then, we would go into Studio 8H to have company-wide meetings, and that was the coolest thing ever.
00:17:34
Speaker 2: So the coolest thing ever now.
00:17:36
Speaker 3: They just announced their lineup for their celebrity hosts.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: This is always a big deal. Night One is all about New York. Jalen frickin' Brunson. That's awesome. That is awesome. I love that they picked him for this.
00:17:56
Speaker 4: The smile on your face says it all.
00:17:57
Speaker 2: This is awesome.
00:17:58
Speaker 3: He's not an actor. He's right, but he has a personality. He's never been around, but on the court, he seems like he doesn't have a personality.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: He's focused.
00:18:06
Speaker 3: Yes, he's just stone-faced the whole time. This is great. It's great for the city. It's great for the Knicks, and it's I don't know. This feels like a local thing.
00:18:14
Speaker 4: I can't wait to watch.
00:18:15
Speaker 1: I actually don't know his personality. I feel like I've only seen him play. So that'll be very fun to see his personality and just see him have some fun on the stage.
00:18:25
Speaker 4: Well-earned, well-deserved. I think it's just an awesome choice.
00:18:29
Speaker 3: Do we want to place a wager now whether or not they do a skit on... Donald Trump being at the game.
00:18:35
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, let's go ahead.
00:18:36
Speaker 1: I bet you they've already got it at Cal Shear, wherever else you can place your bets.
00:18:40
Speaker 4: But that's probably a done deal already. Also hosting Dakota Johnson.
00:18:47
Speaker 2: After that, yep.
00:18:48
Speaker 4: Shane Gillis. And I don't know how to say her name, but the actress from Obsession.
00:18:53
Speaker 2: Indy Navarette, I believe is her name.
00:18:54
Speaker 4: Indy Navarette.
00:18:55
Speaker 2: She is about to go gangbusters.
00:18:57
Speaker 4: That's so exciting.
00:18:58
Speaker 3: This young lady is about to go. She just got a part in the X-Men movie, I think. She is just going to do gangbusters.
00:19:05
Speaker 4: It's amazing.
00:19:06
Speaker 1: I love that they're paying homage to New York, Jalen Brunson, and then horror movie.
00:19:12
Speaker 4: Our two favorite things right there. So very, very cool. We will be watching.
00:19:16
Speaker 1: But for your quote of the day on this Thursday, don't let temporary people.
00:19:22
Speaker 4: do permanent damage.
00:19:24
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. I thought about that in so many ways. That just jumped out to me. We give away our power all the time to people who we don't even have in our lives. If it's the guy who pulled out in front of you, and you let it actually affect your day, your life, it starts building up all sorts of negative energy.
00:19:46
Speaker 4: Don't let temporary people do permanent damage. Love it.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: I love it. Don't even let temporary people do temporary damage.
00:19:56
Speaker 3: As soon as that experience is over, it's over.
00:19:58
Speaker 4: It's over.
00:19:59
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. That's a good one today. I do appreciate that. All right.
00:20:01
Speaker 4: And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us. I'm Amy Robach.
00:20:06
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It's already Friday Eve, September 10th. I'm Amy Robach.
00:00:17
Speaker 2: Yes. Hello, everybody.
00:00:18
Speaker 3: I'm TJ Holmes on this Friday Eve. I guess Eve, September 10th, looking up there. Yes, tomorrow's a pretty big anniversary. It certainly is.
00:00:26
Speaker 2: 25th anniversary. We are right here in the neighborhood.
00:00:29
Speaker 3: We've lived down here for a long time, and we walk by and reflect daily at those footprints of the tower. So yeah, I guess in We've seen some of the stuff on TV and a lot of coverage of it. Looking at September 10th, it kind of just hit me differently in front of me.
00:00:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Actually walked by it yesterday, and it was cool to see how many people have already begun to gather. A much bigger crowd than we usually see. A lot more flowers placed along the memorials. It's always moving walking by, but especially when it comes close to the anniversary.
00:01:03
Speaker 4: And this is a big anniversary, as you point out.
00:01:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt good. The tone and the mood, for whatever reason, was great. It was good.
00:01:08
Speaker 3: The security was as you would expect, and they're getting set for the ceremonies and whatnot tomorrow. But yes, hello everybody on this Friday Eve, wherever you might be. Hope you're getting a good start to your Thursday. We'll be making a number of stops along the way today. We'll make a stop at the Gas Pump. We'll make a stop at Studio H in Rockefeller Plaza. Make a stop in Massachusetts, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, as well as Cupertino, California.
00:01:30
Speaker 2: But let's start ropes in Texas. He's at it again.
00:01:37
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right.
00:01:38
Speaker 1: And this is a record-scratching moment that's going to require some explanation. The president just promised every adult in the United States of America a $ 5, 000 check. We're not making this up. Yes, this all occurred as he was being featured at the Republican midterm convention, a first of its kind, last night when he revealed the payments. Obviously, there has to be a catch.
00:02:09
Speaker 2: Yes, the Republicans have to win.
00:02:11
Speaker 3: If Republicans win the House and the Senate, then you get your $ 5, 000 check. Now, Robes, he didn't say there was a catch. He didn't say you had to vote this way. He didn't say only Republicans are going to get it. He didn't say anything like that. Just every adult in the U.S. is going to get $ 5, 000 if the Republicans win. His exact quote, if the Republicans win the House and the United States Senate, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America. For $ 5, 000, it, of course, is going to be called, Robes, the Trump dividend. And he said the money also would have to be spent.
00:02:46
Speaker 2: In the U.S.
00:02:47
Speaker 4: How are you going to police that?
00:02:49
Speaker 2: Question one. Question two.
00:02:52
Speaker 4: Is this legal? Because it certainly sounds like he's buying votes.
00:02:57
Speaker 2: Who knows?
00:02:57
Speaker 3: So, Robes, this might be legal. There's some wiggle room in there because he is not telling you how to vote. He's not telling you you have to vote. He's just saying this will be the result if we win.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: There might be some legal wiggle room for him.
00:03:18
Speaker 4: That is absolutely insane.
00:03:20
Speaker 1: Because obviously, if you want the $ 5, 000, the Republicans need to win.
00:03:25
Speaker 4: The choice is yours.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:03:27
Speaker 4: But you're being incentivized.
00:03:29
Speaker 2: That's the other thing.
00:03:30
Speaker 1: By money.
00:03:31
Speaker 2: There does seem to be influence.
00:03:33
Speaker 4: Given to you by the American taxpayer.
00:03:36
Speaker 3: Okay, remind you, though, one other thing. This is not a new thing for him. Your Doge check, did you ever get it?
00:03:42
Speaker 2: No, you didn't. Your tariff rebate check, did you ever get it? No, you didn't.
00:03:45
Speaker 3: He's promised these big things before, and they haven't come to fruition. So it got everybody's attention when he said that.
00:03:53
Speaker 1: Speaking of promising, he's been promising that the war with Iran was going to end soon. almost immediately for quite some time now. How many months are we?
00:04:02
Speaker 3: Seven months, and he was telling us, what, four to six weeks when it first started.
00:04:05
Speaker 1: Correct, and we've heard that it's basically over, the deal is done, they're shaking in their boots. Well, next up in the run, President Trump has firmly declared now when the war with Iran will end.
00:04:18
Speaker 2: Circling on the calendar, baby.
00:04:19
Speaker 1: He was taking questions from reporters on the tarmac as he was about to board Air Force One, heading to Texas to the convention.
00:04:27
Speaker 4: Here was his prediction.
00:04:29
Speaker 3: He said, quote, I think the war is going to end immediately after the election. They can't hold out any longer. They're desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice, weak group of people in there and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapons. Okay, so Americans are already seven months into this war hearing, okay, we've got to go at least nine. That's sounding close to a year now. They don't want to hear that. And Republicans now, Robes, who have the next two months to go out there and campaign... They have to stand by the war, and they can't say, it's going to end soon, it's going to end, da-da-da. Robes, we've got another two months, at least, according to the president. Also, this was worth noting, Robes, this jet of his, what is going on?
00:05:12
Speaker 2: He was delayed once he got there.
00:05:14
Speaker 3: He was about to board, and the emergency slide had been deployed on the.
00:05:21
Speaker 2: New Qatari jet.
00:05:22
Speaker 4: A little concerning.
00:05:24
Speaker 3: Well, it's concerning that they won't give a straight answer. to was this a part of some test or was this an accident? Now, CBS, other outlets are reporting, yes, this was an accidental oops that somebody might have done.
00:05:36
Speaker 2: But the White House keeps going around it. Yes, it was part of whatever. They always want to make sure the plane is secure and checked out.
00:05:43
Speaker 1: That's part of the systems check. We just deploy the emergency slide just to see if it works.
00:05:49
Speaker 4: That happens in every flight. What are you talking about?
00:05:51
Speaker 2: Why not just be straight about something that simple?
00:05:53
Speaker 4: That's what's so frustrating about it.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: He was delayed about 20 minutes.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: If you can't be honest about things that are happening that we can see with our own eyes, how can we expect you to be honest about things that we might not be able to see.
00:06:06
Speaker 2: With our own eyes? What's up with this plane?
00:06:08
Speaker 4: Just acknowledge it.
00:06:09
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, the pilot accidentally hit deploy emergency exit, whatever it is.
00:06:14
Speaker 3: Or what if it was a glitch in this lemon of a plane it seems that he got from the Qataris?
00:06:21
Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness. It's a $ 400 million limit. It keeps having problems. It's not equipped to do this. Now the thing's just deploying.
00:06:27
Speaker 4: Emergency slides deploying. Okay.
00:06:31
Speaker 1: Also, speaking of the war with Iran and the impact or the ripple effects here and around the world, oil prices officially went over that $ 100 mark. $ 100 a barrel. It happened once again for the first time since July. And we know what that means. Higher oil prices absolutely equate to higher gas prices.
00:06:53
Speaker 3: And right now we're sitting at about $ 4. 27 a gallon. Big deal because we were about at $ 4 a month ago. So keep an eye on that. Head down to Florida now for the next leg of our run. We're a judge there in I could probably see her point on this one. She says she's not convinced that the Tate brothers are not a flight risk and ruled yesterday they'll have to stay in jail while they fight extradition. Tristan and Andrew Tate, the leaders of the manosphere to a certain degree, these influencers, were arrested in Miami in July. They're facing nearly 60 charges of rape and sex trafficking back in the UK, and they are fighting to keep from having to go back there to face those charges.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to stay in Florida for the next leg of our run, and the state is scheduled to carry out its nation-leading 15th execution of the year that happens tonight.
00:07:43
Speaker 4: Daniel Conahan Jr.
00:07:44
Speaker 1: Will die by lethal injection for a 1996 kidnapping and murder.
00:07:51
Speaker 3: Police say he lured his victim to the woods by promising to pay this man for posing for nude pics. Conahan, though, tied him to a tree, raped, strangled, and mutilated. This man, now he is convicted here, Robes. This is a huge story because, yes, he is going to die for one murder he was convicted of. Robes, they say it's possible he's responsible for at least a dozen others. The Hog Trail killings is what they called them. There were other victims found near where this one victim was, and they were never able to nail him for them with evidence, but they absolutely think he's responsible. And then you got the Fort Myers Eight in Newark. around the same time, eight men who were killed. Some of them never identified, but a lot of the circumstances were similar to this.
00:08:39
Speaker 2: They believe this guy is a serial killer.
00:08:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and if you look, and we'll get into this in a later episode, but if you look at the details surrounding how he killed at least this one man, the other murders are eerily and scarily similar, like mutilation of the genitals tied to a tree. I mean, he had a hallmark. He had a A sign-off, so to speak, as you often see with serial killers. So, yes, he is believed to.
00:09:05
Speaker 4: Have a wake of destruction in his path. And, yes, he is set to die tonight.
00:09:12
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, a Pennsylvania mother is facing charges in the death of her five-month-old child. What is going on in this case? Police say mom was inebriated. She was drunk at the time of her child's death.
00:09:28
Speaker 3: Didn't you, when I first saw headlines, I thought we were about to have another situation, but this is not some psychosis type thing.
00:09:34
Speaker 2: They said this was neglect.
00:09:35
Speaker 3: 25-year-old Deontay Nicole Beckett charged with involuntary manslaughter, also with endangering the welfare of a child. They claim, prosecutors claim, that Beckett was drunk at a hotel when she put her daughter in a spa tub. I think it was supposed to be a hot tub that she was in. The child eventually drowned. She was in court yesterday. I think the incident was back in May, but she's just facing the charges.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: Now.
00:10:01
Speaker 3: She waived a preliminary hearing. She is out, but bail was set at $ 100, 000. Just awful, awful, awful, awful.
00:10:08
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, Lindsay Clancy's attorney is fighting to keep the state from retrying her.
00:10:14
Speaker 4: For the triple murder of her three children.
00:10:16
Speaker 1: A jury, as you, I'm sure, are well aware of, was deadlocked after seven days of deliberation that forced the judge to declare a mistrial. Her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is now saying he will file a motion to prevent a mistrial based on double jeopardy grounds and based on reports from jurors that one holdout was not following the law.
00:10:38
Speaker 4: He basically wants her.
00:10:41
Speaker 1: So she can walk free and she can stay in the mental hospital that she's in and that charges cannot be brought against her, that she will not face another trial.
00:10:49
Speaker 4: We'll see what happens, but a lot of eyes on this case.
00:10:52
Speaker 3: Rosie, he said, and it's worth noting, a plea deal is possible. It makes sense and maybe should have happened beforehand. He says he won't accept one that has her spending any time in jail.
00:11:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, not one day in jail, he said.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: So there you go. That is his red line in negotiations. All right, one we mentioned as well. NFL season officially underway. I know you were excited about this last night, Robes. You were all hyped up. Football is finally back. Season kicked off with the Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and the New England Patriots. And just like the Super Bowl, the Seahawks beat the Patriots 13-10. Another game is tonight, the Rams versus the 49ers in Australia. This is only, no, they don't usually start the season on a Wednesday.
00:11:34
Speaker 2: You're funny. They don't start. It's always on a Thursday.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: Obviously, everyone, he was teasing because we were watching, I think you fell asleep at the end, an amazing movie. I remember I saw on another TV in another room you had some football game on. You mean the opener of the 2026 season?
00:11:51
Speaker 4: We were watching The Whisper Man, Whispering Man. Yeah, The Whisper Man.
00:11:55
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.
00:11:56
Speaker 4: It's so good.
00:11:57
Speaker 3: Robert De Niro.
00:11:58
Speaker 1: Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, Adam Scott. I mean, just incredible. Oh, and Michael Keaton.
00:12:03
Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Such a great cast. Keaton's in there.
00:12:06
Speaker 4: It was an awesome movie.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: Highly recommend. Football, schmuckball. Football is back, folks, by the way. It's a very big deal.
00:12:12
Speaker 3: But I was going to say, they had it on a Wednesday night because there's a game in Australia. The Thursday night game is in Australia.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:12:20
Speaker 3: Tonight between the 49ers and the Rams. They've been doing this. They are growing the game internationally, so they keep having games. I have a couple in different places, and it's been expanding.
00:12:29
Speaker 1: Okay.
00:12:30
Speaker 2: That's kind of cool. All right.
00:12:32
Speaker 4: That's exciting, I think. I mean, I'm more excited about college football.
00:12:36
Speaker 2: Are you excited about the new Apple folding iPhone? Yes. Stay with us, folks.
00:12:40
Speaker 3: They just unveiled their first ever folding phone, and it's the most expensive phone ever. Also, it was the hottest summer ever, and night one of Saturday Night Live's new season is going to be maybe must-see television.
00:12:58
Speaker 2: Stay here. All right, folks, we continue here on this Friday Eve run.
00:13:12
Speaker 3: Everybody was pretty excited yesterday, Robes, about another Apple event. It's the first time the new CEO is doing his first one. But everybody was anticipating the folding phone, the first ever foldable iPhone.
00:13:24
Speaker 2: And yes, they did unveil it. Duo, how do you like the name? The Apple Duo iPhone.
00:13:29
Speaker 4: I mean, that's fine. I don't care about the name.
00:13:31
Speaker 1: I do think the idea of a foldable phone is pretty cool. For those of us who had the flip phones, there was something fun about when you're upset, like just closing it aggressively.
00:13:44
Speaker 3: You will not do that when you hear the price of this phone. You will handle this thing gently.
00:13:49
Speaker 2: Glass shatters.
00:13:50
Speaker 4: That's true.
00:13:51
Speaker 1: The company showed off the new phone at a big event in which they also showcased the new Phone 18.
00:13:56
Speaker 4: iPhone.
00:13:58
Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
00:13:59
Speaker 4: My eyes are not working.
00:14:00
Speaker 1: The new iPhone 18, the new AirPods, the new Apple Watch, all the new products.
00:14:06
Speaker 4: That's always exciting.
00:14:07
Speaker 2: We were just waiting for the.
00:14:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody cared.
00:14:08
Speaker 2: Get to the good stuff.
00:14:09
Speaker 4: They just wanted the iPhone.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: The star of the show, of course, was the new Duo, which the company says has the largest iPhone screen ever.
00:14:17
Speaker 4: Ever 7.6 inches.
00:14:19
Speaker 3: Uh yes so i mean look i guess let's get to the point how much is this thing cheapest model is two thousand dollars the cheapest goes.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: Up to 3200 for the most expensive.
00:14:29
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh um it's your pre-orders start october 16th i think they say they're going to be delivered by october 23rd but bro it's cool it's new and a lot of people are going to run out and get it it's weirdly shaped to use the phone it's shaped like a passport almost that's how even they described it a passport so it's a thick item the size of a passport that's how you would talk on the phone and you unfold and you almost have a i guess a mini mini ipad looking thing when you unfold.
00:15:00
Speaker 4: It that you've got to carry around with you yeah they said.
00:15:03
Speaker 3: It could fit in your pocket no problem like a passport it's just an oddly shaped thing and i wonder how that's going to go but man three grand for a phone.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm thinking, A, obviously no way, shape, or form will my children have that because, yes, with the way they deal with their iPhones. But I just think about how this is now going to be something that folks will try to steal even more. Just with that type of price tag attached to it, that just makes me nervous. Like, hold your phone close because that isâ think about that, walking around with a $ 3, 000 anythingâ you are going to be a target for thieves.
00:15:38
Speaker 4: That's all I could think about. Like that's scary.
00:15:40
Speaker 2: That is a, you make a good point.
00:15:42
Speaker 1: Like if you had a $ 3, 000 purse, a $ 3, 000 ring, like that, that's something that people would look to steal. Wow.
00:15:47
Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. Yeah, man. You're raining on the apple.
00:15:51
Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Uh, all right, let's move on to better news. Um, I don't know if this is better news. Um, did it seem like a hot summer? We're in the Northeast, so maybe not so much, but apparently.
00:16:02
Speaker 2: We complained a lot about how hot it was.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: We did, I guess.
00:16:04
Speaker 4: It's so humid. It's so humid. And guess what?
00:16:07
Speaker 1: You weren't wrong if you thought this was the hottest summer in a while, because it turns out it was the hottest summer on record ever here in the United States.
00:16:17
Speaker 4: That's remarkable.
00:16:18
Speaker 3: 74.4 degrees was the average temperature. Now, the previous record was 74 degrees.
00:16:25
Speaker 2: Robes, that's kind of blowing through the record.
00:16:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a huge jump, almost a half a degree.
00:16:29
Speaker 3: And the only hotter summers, the famous summer of 1936, and then 2021, I didn't realize we had matched.
00:16:36
Speaker 2: But I guess we're getting hotter, Robes, but they are paying attention to this.
00:16:40
Speaker 3: We just blew through the previous record.
00:16:42
Speaker 1: I mean, look what happened in Nepal with the melting glacier. I mean, this is scary stuff. All right, for the final leg of our run, Saturday Night Live just announced... who will be hosting their season 52 premiere, and it's kind of awesome.
00:16:58
Speaker 2: This is awesome.
00:16:59
Speaker 3: It feels very, maybe to us, it feels very local. We, I know people watch Saturday Night Live all over. It feels like ours here in New York for some reason. It feels like a very New York thing.
00:17:09
Speaker 1: It is a very New York thing, and look, I think you and I have both had, and this was years and years and years ago. But when you get to go into Studio 8H, and we only get to see the rehearsal, but it's so fun.
00:17:19
Speaker 3: And wildly unimpressive how small that studio is.
00:17:23
Speaker 2: When you see it on TV, and then you see it.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: When I worked at the Today Show, every now and then, we would go into Studio 8H to have company-wide meetings, and that was the coolest thing ever.
00:17:34
Speaker 2: So the coolest thing ever now.
00:17:36
Speaker 3: They just announced their lineup for their celebrity hosts.
00:17:41
Speaker 2: This is always a big deal. Night One is all about New York. Jalen frickin' Brunson. That's awesome. That is awesome. I love that they picked him for this.
00:17:56
Speaker 4: The smile on your face says it all.
00:17:57
Speaker 2: This is awesome.
00:17:58
Speaker 3: He's not an actor. He's right, but he has a personality. He's never been around, but on the court, he seems like he doesn't have a personality.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: He's focused.
00:18:06
Speaker 3: Yes, he's just stone-faced the whole time. This is great. It's great for the city. It's great for the Knicks, and it's I don't know. This feels like a local thing.
00:18:14
Speaker 4: I can't wait to watch.
00:18:15
Speaker 1: I actually don't know his personality. I feel like I've only seen him play. So that'll be very fun to see his personality and just see him have some fun on the stage.
00:18:25
Speaker 4: Well-earned, well-deserved. I think it's just an awesome choice.
00:18:29
Speaker 3: Do we want to place a wager now whether or not they do a skit on... Donald Trump being at the game.
00:18:35
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, let's go ahead.
00:18:36
Speaker 1: I bet you they've already got it at Cal Shear, wherever else you can place your bets.
00:18:40
Speaker 4: But that's probably a done deal already. Also hosting Dakota Johnson.
00:18:47
Speaker 2: After that, yep.
00:18:48
Speaker 4: Shane Gillis. And I don't know how to say her name, but the actress from Obsession.
00:18:53
Speaker 2: Indy Navarette, I believe is her name.
00:18:54
Speaker 4: Indy Navarette.
00:18:55
Speaker 2: She is about to go gangbusters.
00:18:57
Speaker 4: That's so exciting.
00:18:58
Speaker 3: This young lady is about to go. She just got a part in the X-Men movie, I think. She is just going to do gangbusters.
00:19:05
Speaker 4: It's amazing.
00:19:06
Speaker 1: I love that they're paying homage to New York, Jalen Brunson, and then horror movie.
00:19:12
Speaker 4: Our two favorite things right there. So very, very cool. We will be watching.
00:19:16
Speaker 1: But for your quote of the day on this Thursday, don't let temporary people.
00:19:22
Speaker 4: do permanent damage.
00:19:24
Speaker 1: Hell yeah. I thought about that in so many ways. That just jumped out to me. We give away our power all the time to people who we don't even have in our lives. If it's the guy who pulled out in front of you, and you let it actually affect your day, your life, it starts building up all sorts of negative energy.
00:19:46
Speaker 4: Don't let temporary people do permanent damage. Love it.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: I love it. Don't even let temporary people do temporary damage.
00:19:56
Speaker 3: As soon as that experience is over, it's over.
00:19:58
Speaker 4: It's over.
00:19:59
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. That's a good one today. I do appreciate that. All right.
00:20:01
Speaker 4: And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you running with us. I'm Amy Robach.
00:20:06
Speaker 2: And I'm TJ Holmes. Run soon.
