00:00:10
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your Wednesday morning run.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: I had to think about what day of the week it was.
00:00:17
Speaker 3: What's the sleep score over there? Oh, I didn't look. You didn't check your sleep score?
00:00:20
Speaker 1: All right. I didn't check.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: Hey there, folks. I'm TJ. That's Robes, and this is I didn't check, didn't ask ahead of time. We actually don't get to have a lot of conversations before we start recording because of our work. This is the most we've talked this morning, I do believe. Wow.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: I had a good sleep score.
00:00:35
Speaker 3: What was your sleep score, baby?
00:00:36
Speaker 2: 81. 81.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: Nice. How many hours?
00:00:38
Speaker 1: Six hours and 46 minutes.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Look at you. How about that? So you should have been able to get the day right.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: That includes the nap we took on the couch earlier in the day.
00:00:48
Speaker 2: But yes.
00:00:49
Speaker 3: You're feeling good. You're going to have a strong one today. Welcome everybody on this Veterans Day edition of the Morning Run. A lot of things are still up and running today. Schools are out. It is a federal holiday, but... You'll get some sales on... That's not the mattress holiday, is it? Which one do they... Labor Day.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: Labor Day is a big mattress holiday. So is Memorial Day.
00:01:09
Speaker 1: I don't know why everybody thinks about getting or upgrading their sleep when it comes to those weekends.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: That's a hard P. Pop on that P. That's going to be fun this morning. I'm sorry.
00:01:20
Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
00:01:21
Speaker 3: But Veterans Day, look, we are still in the middle of a war, and we still have members of the military who are all over the world in harm's way. We have seen that play out since February with the war in Iran. So... Look, no matter what you feel about decisions made about war, the warriors themselves are always worth honoring. Look, Robes, all of us, somewhere in our family line, we have known somebody who has served in the military.
00:01:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:01:45
Speaker 1: It's the men and women who are out there sacrificing, but also their families who are back at home worried about them and waiting for them to return.
00:01:52
Speaker 3: So wherever you might be on this Veterans Day, I hope you are getting off to a good start. We have a bunch of stops to make, including in Florida. We'll also make a pleasant stop for a change by the gas pump. We'll also swing by the Pentagon. We'll go to Oxford, Mississippi. We'll also swing by D.C., the U.K., South Carolina. And we'll also make a stop aboard a United Airlines flight. We'll get into that with Robes. The story of the past several days anticipating a big impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth. My brother is living to fight another day.
00:02:26
Speaker 2: Yes, Pete Hegseth is safe for now.
00:02:29
Speaker 1: Yes, Republicans did him a solid yesterday in Congress voting against moving to an impeachment vote.
00:02:36
Speaker 2: So they're not pushing that forward.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: This will likely prevent the full House from ever getting a chance to vote on the articles of impeachment that were introduced by outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Yes, that keeps this full House from voting on it, but... You know what's coming in January? A whole new crop of Democrats. They have a pretty solid majority. So King Jeffries has already mentioned the possibility that this is not done yet. But for now, Ropes, he seems safe.
00:03:07
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, a man that federal officials say has been deported twice caused a bomb scare aboard a United Airlines flight. The flight was heading from Newark to New Orleans on Monday when a man allegedly rushed the cockpit and said he had a bomb.
00:03:24
Speaker 3: So the crew then caused them to trigger the highest level alert that they have. So this was essentially a hijack alert that went out that was this serious. The plane eventually landed safely in New Orleans. Authorities took 34-year-old Ronnie Alexander Gomez Alberto into custody. Robes, we don't have a lot of details about what happened in that interim from him rushing the cockpit and being a threat until them getting on the ground, how he was handled on the plane. But Robes, this is terrifying. He goes back to 2011, I think, was the first time he illegally crossed the border illegally. Got kicked out. Came back. Got kicked out. And here he is again causing a bomb scare. This is a guy who's in the country illegally who could have robes killed a whole bunch of Americans.
00:04:09
Speaker 2: That's frightening.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: So at least everyone landed safely. Everything was okay. But yes, can't imagine being on that flight. Talk about can't imagine. This story is unbelievable. Okay, so it is, or I should say it does have a happy ending, but my God, this is a miracle, a miracle rescue of an 11-month-old baby that police say had been buried alive by his father. How they found this burial site is beyond to me. South Carolina police say Koa Sharp had been left in his father's care on Monday, but when a babysitter showed.
00:04:49
Speaker 2: Up to take over.
00:04:51
Speaker 1: The two were gone. So police launched a search. They found him, not the baby, right? And then found a freshly disturbed patch of dirt in the woods, not far from his father's home.
00:05:03
Speaker 3: Well, it was about 50 yards. I say not far, but ropes. Still. The miracle, yes, that the kid's alive. Miracle that they even happened upon this. So they dug and found, yes, this 11-month-old, as they described, quote, clinging to life, He had been buried in a dog crate with a towel over him. Police believe he had been there about 24 hours. Robes are hopeful at this point he's going to make a full recovery. I don't have the best updates, excuse me, that detailed updates about his health. But from what we've been hearing. It sounds like they are pretty hopeful this kid's in pretty good shape and going to be okay.
00:05:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, they said the cold weather and that there was an air pocket created. And because of that, the baby was able to survive.
00:05:46
Speaker 2: But they said you could.
00:05:48
Speaker 1: Hear his screams from below the ground. And they said, thank God that baby had some lungs on him. There's a reason why babies cry. And that's literally how they found him. The, um.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: I don't know which sheriff's deputy or the sheriff down there who said it, but this dude had to be a dad and a granddad. His quote was, the most joyous sounds you ever heard of a crying baby.
00:06:12
Speaker 2: Yes, we're going to have much more on this story later on in the feed. I mean, the details of this are just amazing.
00:06:18
Speaker 3: We should mention the dad here, 25-years-old Michael Comer. He is in custody facing all kinds of charges and really would like to know what the hell he was thinking.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: Well, his own mother said she had no idea that evil was within her own son. All right, next up on the run, authorities have identified the woman they believe was murdered aboard a cruise ship this week.
00:06:36
Speaker 2: The victim's name, Susan.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Watford, and if that last name sounds familiar, it should because, yes, she is the wife of the man who has been arrested.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: We knew his name earlier. We didn't know hers.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jason Watford. We've seen his picture. We've seen his video of him being taken off that cruise ship. He went into custody on Monday. Authorities were alerted to an incident on board, ordered the cruise ship to return to port in Galveston, Texas. Now, according to the criminal complaint, Watford strangled his wife. After the two got into an argument in Rome, what was the number? Six? Six hours. It hadn't been out that long.
00:07:10
Speaker 2: Six hours into the cruise, they were headed into paradise. Six hours.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: Police say Watford has admitted to, yes, strangling his wife with his own hands for up to five minutes.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: He said he only let go once he became exhausted.
00:07:24
Speaker 1: Also, Texas Child Protective Services, this is a twist, has now confirmed it's taken a child into custody.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: That child, according to the FBI, was, quote, involved.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: In the situation but did not give details, it's horrific to think that that child was party or witness to any of this or had anything.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: To do with this. Where else could the kid have been?
00:07:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:07:45
Speaker 3: But in the room.
00:07:47
Speaker 2: That is awful to think about.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: So we will be speaking more on this one later today in the feed as well. Continuing on the run now, Megan Markle's dad, already facing child pornography charges, has now been ordered to jail pending trial after authorities say He cut off his ankle monitor. Well, this was bizarre. He's 82. Where did he think he was going? Or maybe he was trying to go somewhere.
00:08:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the weird thing about it is, dude, you got a pass. You don't actually, they didn't remand him into jail. They let him actually leave on his own recognizance with this ankle monitor. But yes, he violated that condition of his release when he cut off said monitor. He was arrested last week in Florida for possession of child pornography, was ordered to home confinement.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: The judge now revoked.
00:08:32
Speaker 1: Those release conditions saying no condition or combination of conditions would reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community and the defendant's appearance in court.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's disturbing.
00:08:45
Speaker 1: Why would he need to take off his ankle monitor unless he needed to go by a nearby school? I mean, literally, the only reason why you would have to do it is if you wanted to go somewhere where you weren't.
00:08:56
Speaker 3: Supposed to go. But a getaway is 82? Is he going to get on a plane?
00:09:00
Speaker 2: Does he not think they're not going to find him immediately?
00:09:03
Speaker 3: And we should mention as well, yes, these charges, this is coming from the U.S., but this was all prompted because of something going on in the Philippines. He's still looking at, they're still going through all that material and looking at possible charges.
00:09:13
Speaker 2: 7,000 images or something like that? All right, next up on the run.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: One of the Ole Miss students at the center of that viral ring cam video has identified herself. She's apologized and reportedly also withdrawn from school voluntarily. Now, in the video, you can see two white students making monkey sounds and gestures towards an apartment door of three black students.
00:09:38
Speaker 3: So the university now investigating after this story, this video has gone viral. The, I guess, debate robes has gone gangbusters online.
00:09:46
Speaker 1: But.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: One of the young ladies in that video is 18-year-old Elena Cunez. Now, she has identified herself through a law firm that's representing her. She put out this statement. Robsy, you want to hit the important parts? It's not that long.
00:10:03
Speaker 2: We can go through it.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: I think to the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize. Before the incident on November 6th, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race. However, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful. I would have never intentionally made those noises or gestures towards a person of color. I have apologized to the women, and I pray they will forgive me. I can never truly understand the pain I have caused them, and it was never my intention. These girls deserve to feel seen and understood, and what I did is not a reflection of who I am trying to become. Over the past several days, my family and I have received death threats and harassment I am grateful for the authorities working to ensure our safety. As I intend to cooperate fully with the university's investigation, I ask for privacy for my family. I understand the seriousness of the situation and remain committed to taking responsibility and learning from this embarrassing ordeal.
00:11:02
Speaker 3: Fair enough.
00:11:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good apology.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Fair enough. However, there's one problem here, is that one of the black students has put out a statement saying that that statement is full of lies. Full of them, Robes. One of the black students has said on Instagram, pretty detailed posts, but contradicts so much of what you just heard in Kuniz's account. Bethany Joy wrote on Instagram that the women absolutely knew who they were and knew they were black because she says they had previously had interactions with the girls about noise issues, Robes.
00:11:38
Speaker 2: Which was one of our possible theories.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:11:42
Speaker 3: Robes, then this, somebody is completely lying.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:11:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:11:47
Speaker 1: Because Bethany Joy also said that they confronted the girls after hearing the monkey sounds and the girls continued to make the noises.
00:11:57
Speaker 3: Somebody is completely lying.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:11:59
Speaker 3: So we are obviously going to be discussing this a little more. This is... A mess, but Rose, that statement was carefully worded.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: It certainly was.
00:12:08
Speaker 3: It seemed like a bit of a stretch that she would just be walking up and down making monkey noises at different doors.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: Because that was the other contention, that they said that they were making animal noises at all the doors.
00:12:21
Speaker 3: Obviously, in the video, we see them walk through and pass at least one, maybe two other doors that they don't do this to.
00:12:26
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: Ah!
00:12:28
Speaker 3: Where is the truth in this? We absolutely will be discussing this one more a little later. I want to head to Florida. How's your guy doing down there? Ron DeSantis. He is not done yet being governor, which means he is going to sign death warrants until they tell him he can't.
00:12:43
Speaker 1: And we predicted this, thought this was possible, if not probable. But yes, the Florida governor has signed another death warrant, and yet another execution has been added to the schedule for this year. And if you may recall, Florida set that state record last year of 19 executions, and this year already equaling that number of executions.
00:13:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they had another one scheduled. Yeah, it's actually a double execution day tomorrow, one in Florida. I can't remember the other state off the top of my head, but they do have one scheduled for tomorrow in Florida, then another one scheduled for December 1st. Those would be the state's 20th and 21st executions of the year. But just yesterday, Governor DeSantis signed the death warrant for Willie Seth Crane. This is a man who is 80 years old. Robes, and he was convicted in the disappearance and death of a seven-year-old girl back in 1998. He is now scheduled to die by lethal injection on December 10th. And again, the way this goes, Robes, they have 30 days. He signed it on November 10th. 30 days later, December 10th, the execution. Robes, he has up until, what, November 30th?
00:13:48
Speaker 2: I guess that's correct. Yes, he could keep signing, and he very well may. Next up on the run, a U.S.
00:13:55
Speaker 1: Soldier has been arrested in the United Kingdom, accused of spying for Russia. Authorities have not released his name yet, but they say he is a 41-year-old man who is currently in custody after a joint investigation with British counterterrorism police, the FBI, the U.S.
00:14:11
Speaker 2: Military intelligence.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: And he's being accused of violating two sections of Britain's National Security Act, and that relates to, quote, obtaining or disclosing protected information and assisting a foreign intelligence service. FBI Director Kash Patel said this was an important arrest, sends a clear message that the FBI has no tolerance for anyone who breaks their oath to the United States and whose actions endanger our national security and that of our partners.
00:14:40
Speaker 3: All right, well, stay with us, folks, on this hump day morning run. When we come back, it's the story that the whole world continues to talk about and it is getting worse for jensen wong the head of nvidia after it was revealed he was in an affair with a chinese spy we'll give you the very latest there also the latest from the gas pump pump robes it ain't all bad for a change and and the kennedys versus.
00:15:11
Speaker 1: Trump Welcome back, everyone, to your Wednesday morning run. And next up on the run, the fallout continues over that affair between NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and a Chinese spy. And the fallout might just be beginning because Jensen and his company are now facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who claim they were misled about the relationship.
00:15:45
Speaker 3: I don't have the... I've seen estimates 500 billion or so in... cap value that they lost after this stuff was announced this week all this came out robes they are losing money and these folks feel like they have been robbed essentially by being misled you are costing us money with this foolishness the company's stock has been tumbling since they announced an investigation into the relationship wong has admitted to having an affair he apologized to his wife and to his children but robes of course the issue is who he had an affair with, and that's causing all the international concern. He claims he didn't know she was a spy. The president claims that he talked to Jensen Wong and told him, hey, didn't know the lady was a spy. Well, that doesn't matter now. The damage has possibly been done. Alice Wong is her name. She's an executive at a company that was buying chips from NVIDIA. And yeah, she's suspected of being a spy now. Ropes, how far does this go? They're talking about having him testify before Congress now.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is going to continue for some time. And look, NVIDIA has said publicly it has no reason to believe the company's secrets or that U.S.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: National security were compromised in.
00:16:59
Speaker 1: Any way because of the affair, but the mere fact that they are doing an investigation implies that there may be more to learn. All right, next up on the run for the first time in nearly four months, the average price of gas in this country is finally below $ 4 a gallon.
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Yay!
00:17:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, the average price. We're getting this from AAA, of course. Dropped to $ 3. 98 yesterday, Robes. The first time the national average has been below $ 4 since July 20th.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: Just in time for the busiest travel time of the year, Thanksgiving holidays, where I'm sure AAA will come out soon with a record number of travelers set to hit the road on this Thanksgiving.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: So good news for them.
00:17:39
Speaker 3: We shake our heads. That was sarcasm. We've been in the business a long time. You can fill in the rundowns. At news stations about what stories are going to be covered every year. Halloween candy is up. Christmas trees. Price of trees is up. Chicken wings around the Super Bowl. It's cold in the winter. Gas prices are up. The record number, like the same story.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: Yes, the record number of travelers every year at certain times.
00:18:06
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, the busiest travel time during Thanksgiving holiday is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday afterwards.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: And you probably want to avoid the roads. Between the hours of 3 and 8 p.m.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: Y'all, we've been doing this 30 years. Watch. We should do, we should predict.
00:18:20
Speaker 1: It's hilarious.
00:18:21
Speaker 3: We can give you the rundowns on certain days on every, we can tell you right now what the story is going to be on December 24th.
00:18:29
Speaker 2: We start laughing.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always the same. But yes, it's good news. Still the highest cost of gas, California, Hawaii, no surprise there. lowest in North Carolina and Texas, paying about $ 3. 20 over in North Carolina on average. Good for them.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: All right. And for the final leg of your run, it is the Kennedy Center versus Trump. Yes, the Kennedy family, not the Kennedy Center, the Kennedy family is suing to try and stop President Trump from building his triumphal arch. They actually submitted a legal filing on Tuesday that says the giant arch is would cast a shadow over the Kennedy family's memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. It would impede the sight lines from around D.C., which they say they enjoy, and is integral to their peace and reflection upon their family.
00:19:17
Speaker 2: And they say it would destroy its solemn and sacred atmosphere.
00:19:21
Speaker 3: I mean, he took the Kennedy Center. I mean, how much is left around there?
00:19:26
Speaker 1: Right.
00:19:27
Speaker 3: For John F. Kennedy.
00:19:29
Speaker 1: Right.
00:19:30
Speaker 3: We can't even see his name on the front of the place. The tarp's still up.
00:19:32
Speaker 2: The tarp is still up.
00:19:33
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. The judge is overseeing this case about the arch has already temporarily blocked construction. The Trump administration wanted to break ground as early as last week. White House spokesperson responded to the Kennedy's new lawsuit. I don't know. This obviously was. Stephen.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't Stephen Miller.
00:19:52
Speaker 3: No, Chung. What's his name? You love that guy.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: He's hilarious. I mean, he viscerates people. I thought it was Stephen Chung.
00:20:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it. But he's like the assistant communications director or something like that, but he is the one from that press office that is a bulldog in terms of how he speaks publicly. When I read this, I'm like, this couldn't have been him.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: This is a kinder, gentler version. Yes, they said, it is unfortunate to see that some members of the Kennedy family have joined the litigation against the Arch as the project is intended.
00:20:24
Speaker 2: To honor our heroes who rest in Arlington Cemetery.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: The judiciary should not be abused to politicize a structure designed to unite our nation. We will continue making the case for this beautiful and fitting monument and are confident we will fully be vindicated as this litigation proceeds.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: Man, that stings. Politicize a structure designated to unite our nation. Beautiful and fitting monument. That applies to the Kennedy Center, you know?
00:20:52
Speaker 2: Yes, it does. That's tough.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: That stings, baby.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: The irony of their own words aren't lost on us as we hear that. But yes, this judge.
00:21:00
Speaker 1: is weighing a longer-term block on the Arch's construction.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: We shall see what happens. All right, on this Wednesday, we have your quote of the day.
00:21:10
Speaker 1: While you're overthinking and doubting yourself, someone else is looking at you, wondering how you do it all.
00:21:17
Speaker 2: Keep going. Perspective. I think about that a lot.
00:21:23
Speaker 1: Yes, you can get overwhelmed and just whatever you have to do and what you haven't done yet. If you just take a moment to look around and take it in, I do think that those are moments where you can create perspective and give yourself a break. So while you're overthinking and doubting yourself, someone else is looking at you wondering how you do it all.
00:21:43
Speaker 2: Keep going. And with that, everyone, the only.
00:21:48
Speaker 3: Thing I got out of that is that you told me to keep going. That's all I got out of that. No, it's no more perspective.
00:21:54
Speaker 1: Take a moment to see all you've accomplished and actually enjoy it and let that inspire you.
00:22:00
Speaker 3: Don't let it bring you down. I have to keep going. I have time to sit and reflect. Okay. This is Wednesday morning. Hump days, man. Hump day runs are difficult for us. For some of us. Oh yes. I, Did mention my... What was your sleeve score?
00:22:16
Speaker 2: 45.
00:22:17
Speaker 3: And with that, folks, we always appreciate you running with us. That's Robes. I'm TJ. We'll run soon.
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to your Wednesday morning run.
00:00:14
Speaker 2: I had to think about what day of the week it was.
00:00:17
Speaker 3: What's the sleep score over there? Oh, I didn't look. You didn't check your sleep score?
00:00:20
Speaker 1: All right. I didn't check.
00:00:20
Speaker 3: Hey there, folks. I'm TJ. That's Robes, and this is I didn't check, didn't ask ahead of time. We actually don't get to have a lot of conversations before we start recording because of our work. This is the most we've talked this morning, I do believe. Wow.
00:00:34
Speaker 2: I had a good sleep score.
00:00:35
Speaker 3: What was your sleep score, baby?
00:00:36
Speaker 2: 81. 81.
00:00:37
Speaker 3: Nice. How many hours?
00:00:38
Speaker 1: Six hours and 46 minutes.
00:00:40
Speaker 3: Look at you. How about that? So you should have been able to get the day right.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: That includes the nap we took on the couch earlier in the day.
00:00:48
Speaker 2: But yes.
00:00:49
Speaker 3: You're feeling good. You're going to have a strong one today. Welcome everybody on this Veterans Day edition of the Morning Run. A lot of things are still up and running today. Schools are out. It is a federal holiday, but... You'll get some sales on... That's not the mattress holiday, is it? Which one do they... Labor Day.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: Labor Day is a big mattress holiday. So is Memorial Day.
00:01:09
Speaker 1: I don't know why everybody thinks about getting or upgrading their sleep when it comes to those weekends.
00:01:14
Speaker 3: That's a hard P. Pop on that P. That's going to be fun this morning. I'm sorry.
00:01:20
Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
00:01:21
Speaker 3: But Veterans Day, look, we are still in the middle of a war, and we still have members of the military who are all over the world in harm's way. We have seen that play out since February with the war in Iran. So... Look, no matter what you feel about decisions made about war, the warriors themselves are always worth honoring. Look, Robes, all of us, somewhere in our family line, we have known somebody who has served in the military.
00:01:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
00:01:45
Speaker 1: It's the men and women who are out there sacrificing, but also their families who are back at home worried about them and waiting for them to return.
00:01:52
Speaker 3: So wherever you might be on this Veterans Day, I hope you are getting off to a good start. We have a bunch of stops to make, including in Florida. We'll also make a pleasant stop for a change by the gas pump. We'll also swing by the Pentagon. We'll go to Oxford, Mississippi. We'll also swing by D.C., the U.K., South Carolina. And we'll also make a stop aboard a United Airlines flight. We'll get into that with Robes. The story of the past several days anticipating a big impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth. My brother is living to fight another day.
00:02:26
Speaker 2: Yes, Pete Hegseth is safe for now.
00:02:29
Speaker 1: Yes, Republicans did him a solid yesterday in Congress voting against moving to an impeachment vote.
00:02:36
Speaker 2: So they're not pushing that forward.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: This will likely prevent the full House from ever getting a chance to vote on the articles of impeachment that were introduced by outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky.
00:02:48
Speaker 3: Yes, that keeps this full House from voting on it, but... You know what's coming in January? A whole new crop of Democrats. They have a pretty solid majority. So King Jeffries has already mentioned the possibility that this is not done yet. But for now, Ropes, he seems safe.
00:03:07
Speaker 1: All right, next up on the run, a man that federal officials say has been deported twice caused a bomb scare aboard a United Airlines flight. The flight was heading from Newark to New Orleans on Monday when a man allegedly rushed the cockpit and said he had a bomb.
00:03:24
Speaker 3: So the crew then caused them to trigger the highest level alert that they have. So this was essentially a hijack alert that went out that was this serious. The plane eventually landed safely in New Orleans. Authorities took 34-year-old Ronnie Alexander Gomez Alberto into custody. Robes, we don't have a lot of details about what happened in that interim from him rushing the cockpit and being a threat until them getting on the ground, how he was handled on the plane. But Robes, this is terrifying. He goes back to 2011, I think, was the first time he illegally crossed the border illegally. Got kicked out. Came back. Got kicked out. And here he is again causing a bomb scare. This is a guy who's in the country illegally who could have robes killed a whole bunch of Americans.
00:04:09
Speaker 2: That's frightening.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: So at least everyone landed safely. Everything was okay. But yes, can't imagine being on that flight. Talk about can't imagine. This story is unbelievable. Okay, so it is, or I should say it does have a happy ending, but my God, this is a miracle, a miracle rescue of an 11-month-old baby that police say had been buried alive by his father. How they found this burial site is beyond to me. South Carolina police say Koa Sharp had been left in his father's care on Monday, but when a babysitter showed.
00:04:49
Speaker 2: Up to take over.
00:04:51
Speaker 1: The two were gone. So police launched a search. They found him, not the baby, right? And then found a freshly disturbed patch of dirt in the woods, not far from his father's home.
00:05:03
Speaker 3: Well, it was about 50 yards. I say not far, but ropes. Still. The miracle, yes, that the kid's alive. Miracle that they even happened upon this. So they dug and found, yes, this 11-month-old, as they described, quote, clinging to life, He had been buried in a dog crate with a towel over him. Police believe he had been there about 24 hours. Robes are hopeful at this point he's going to make a full recovery. I don't have the best updates, excuse me, that detailed updates about his health. But from what we've been hearing. It sounds like they are pretty hopeful this kid's in pretty good shape and going to be okay.
00:05:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, they said the cold weather and that there was an air pocket created. And because of that, the baby was able to survive.
00:05:46
Speaker 2: But they said you could.
00:05:48
Speaker 1: Hear his screams from below the ground. And they said, thank God that baby had some lungs on him. There's a reason why babies cry. And that's literally how they found him. The, um.
00:06:00
Speaker 3: I don't know which sheriff's deputy or the sheriff down there who said it, but this dude had to be a dad and a granddad. His quote was, the most joyous sounds you ever heard of a crying baby.
00:06:12
Speaker 2: Yes, we're going to have much more on this story later on in the feed. I mean, the details of this are just amazing.
00:06:18
Speaker 3: We should mention the dad here, 25-years-old Michael Comer. He is in custody facing all kinds of charges and really would like to know what the hell he was thinking.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: Well, his own mother said she had no idea that evil was within her own son. All right, next up on the run, authorities have identified the woman they believe was murdered aboard a cruise ship this week.
00:06:36
Speaker 2: The victim's name, Susan.
00:06:38
Speaker 1: Watford, and if that last name sounds familiar, it should because, yes, she is the wife of the man who has been arrested.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: We knew his name earlier. We didn't know hers.
00:06:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jason Watford. We've seen his picture. We've seen his video of him being taken off that cruise ship. He went into custody on Monday. Authorities were alerted to an incident on board, ordered the cruise ship to return to port in Galveston, Texas. Now, according to the criminal complaint, Watford strangled his wife. After the two got into an argument in Rome, what was the number? Six? Six hours. It hadn't been out that long.
00:07:10
Speaker 2: Six hours into the cruise, they were headed into paradise. Six hours.
00:07:14
Speaker 1: Police say Watford has admitted to, yes, strangling his wife with his own hands for up to five minutes.
00:07:20
Speaker 2: He said he only let go once he became exhausted.
00:07:24
Speaker 1: Also, Texas Child Protective Services, this is a twist, has now confirmed it's taken a child into custody.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: That child, according to the FBI, was, quote, involved.
00:07:34
Speaker 1: In the situation but did not give details, it's horrific to think that that child was party or witness to any of this or had anything.
00:07:42
Speaker 3: To do with this. Where else could the kid have been?
00:07:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:07:45
Speaker 3: But in the room.
00:07:47
Speaker 2: That is awful to think about.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: So we will be speaking more on this one later today in the feed as well. Continuing on the run now, Megan Markle's dad, already facing child pornography charges, has now been ordered to jail pending trial after authorities say He cut off his ankle monitor. Well, this was bizarre. He's 82. Where did he think he was going? Or maybe he was trying to go somewhere.
00:08:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the weird thing about it is, dude, you got a pass. You don't actually, they didn't remand him into jail. They let him actually leave on his own recognizance with this ankle monitor. But yes, he violated that condition of his release when he cut off said monitor. He was arrested last week in Florida for possession of child pornography, was ordered to home confinement.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: The judge now revoked.
00:08:32
Speaker 1: Those release conditions saying no condition or combination of conditions would reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community and the defendant's appearance in court.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's disturbing.
00:08:45
Speaker 1: Why would he need to take off his ankle monitor unless he needed to go by a nearby school? I mean, literally, the only reason why you would have to do it is if you wanted to go somewhere where you weren't.
00:08:56
Speaker 3: Supposed to go. But a getaway is 82? Is he going to get on a plane?
00:09:00
Speaker 2: Does he not think they're not going to find him immediately?
00:09:03
Speaker 3: And we should mention as well, yes, these charges, this is coming from the U.S., but this was all prompted because of something going on in the Philippines. He's still looking at, they're still going through all that material and looking at possible charges.
00:09:13
Speaker 2: 7,000 images or something like that? All right, next up on the run.
00:09:18
Speaker 1: One of the Ole Miss students at the center of that viral ring cam video has identified herself. She's apologized and reportedly also withdrawn from school voluntarily. Now, in the video, you can see two white students making monkey sounds and gestures towards an apartment door of three black students.
00:09:38
Speaker 3: So the university now investigating after this story, this video has gone viral. The, I guess, debate robes has gone gangbusters online.
00:09:46
Speaker 1: But.
00:09:47
Speaker 3: One of the young ladies in that video is 18-year-old Elena Cunez. Now, she has identified herself through a law firm that's representing her. She put out this statement. Robsy, you want to hit the important parts? It's not that long.
00:10:03
Speaker 2: We can go through it.
00:10:04
Speaker 1: I think to the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community, I sincerely apologize. Before the incident on November 6th, I never met the women involved and was unaware of their race. However, I recognize my actions were insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful. I would have never intentionally made those noises or gestures towards a person of color. I have apologized to the women, and I pray they will forgive me. I can never truly understand the pain I have caused them, and it was never my intention. These girls deserve to feel seen and understood, and what I did is not a reflection of who I am trying to become. Over the past several days, my family and I have received death threats and harassment I am grateful for the authorities working to ensure our safety. As I intend to cooperate fully with the university's investigation, I ask for privacy for my family. I understand the seriousness of the situation and remain committed to taking responsibility and learning from this embarrassing ordeal.
00:11:02
Speaker 3: Fair enough.
00:11:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good apology.
00:11:04
Speaker 3: Fair enough. However, there's one problem here, is that one of the black students has put out a statement saying that that statement is full of lies. Full of them, Robes. One of the black students has said on Instagram, pretty detailed posts, but contradicts so much of what you just heard in Kuniz's account. Bethany Joy wrote on Instagram that the women absolutely knew who they were and knew they were black because she says they had previously had interactions with the girls about noise issues, Robes.
00:11:38
Speaker 2: Which was one of our possible theories.
00:11:41
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:11:42
Speaker 3: Robes, then this, somebody is completely lying.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:11:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:11:47
Speaker 1: Because Bethany Joy also said that they confronted the girls after hearing the monkey sounds and the girls continued to make the noises.
00:11:57
Speaker 3: Somebody is completely lying.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:11:59
Speaker 3: So we are obviously going to be discussing this a little more. This is... A mess, but Rose, that statement was carefully worded.
00:12:07
Speaker 2: It certainly was.
00:12:08
Speaker 3: It seemed like a bit of a stretch that she would just be walking up and down making monkey noises at different doors.
00:12:15
Speaker 1: Because that was the other contention, that they said that they were making animal noises at all the doors.
00:12:21
Speaker 3: Obviously, in the video, we see them walk through and pass at least one, maybe two other doors that they don't do this to.
00:12:26
Speaker 2: Correct.
00:12:27
Speaker 1: Ah!
00:12:28
Speaker 3: Where is the truth in this? We absolutely will be discussing this one more a little later. I want to head to Florida. How's your guy doing down there? Ron DeSantis. He is not done yet being governor, which means he is going to sign death warrants until they tell him he can't.
00:12:43
Speaker 1: And we predicted this, thought this was possible, if not probable. But yes, the Florida governor has signed another death warrant, and yet another execution has been added to the schedule for this year. And if you may recall, Florida set that state record last year of 19 executions, and this year already equaling that number of executions.
00:13:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they had another one scheduled. Yeah, it's actually a double execution day tomorrow, one in Florida. I can't remember the other state off the top of my head, but they do have one scheduled for tomorrow in Florida, then another one scheduled for December 1st. Those would be the state's 20th and 21st executions of the year. But just yesterday, Governor DeSantis signed the death warrant for Willie Seth Crane. This is a man who is 80 years old. Robes, and he was convicted in the disappearance and death of a seven-year-old girl back in 1998. He is now scheduled to die by lethal injection on December 10th. And again, the way this goes, Robes, they have 30 days. He signed it on November 10th. 30 days later, December 10th, the execution. Robes, he has up until, what, November 30th?
00:13:48
Speaker 2: I guess that's correct. Yes, he could keep signing, and he very well may. Next up on the run, a U.S.
00:13:55
Speaker 1: Soldier has been arrested in the United Kingdom, accused of spying for Russia. Authorities have not released his name yet, but they say he is a 41-year-old man who is currently in custody after a joint investigation with British counterterrorism police, the FBI, the U.S.
00:14:11
Speaker 2: Military intelligence.
00:14:13
Speaker 1: And he's being accused of violating two sections of Britain's National Security Act, and that relates to, quote, obtaining or disclosing protected information and assisting a foreign intelligence service. FBI Director Kash Patel said this was an important arrest, sends a clear message that the FBI has no tolerance for anyone who breaks their oath to the United States and whose actions endanger our national security and that of our partners.
00:14:40
Speaker 3: All right, well, stay with us, folks, on this hump day morning run. When we come back, it's the story that the whole world continues to talk about and it is getting worse for jensen wong the head of nvidia after it was revealed he was in an affair with a chinese spy we'll give you the very latest there also the latest from the gas pump pump robes it ain't all bad for a change and and the kennedys versus.
00:15:11
Speaker 1: Trump Welcome back, everyone, to your Wednesday morning run. And next up on the run, the fallout continues over that affair between NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and a Chinese spy. And the fallout might just be beginning because Jensen and his company are now facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who claim they were misled about the relationship.
00:15:45
Speaker 3: I don't have the... I've seen estimates 500 billion or so in... cap value that they lost after this stuff was announced this week all this came out robes they are losing money and these folks feel like they have been robbed essentially by being misled you are costing us money with this foolishness the company's stock has been tumbling since they announced an investigation into the relationship wong has admitted to having an affair he apologized to his wife and to his children but robes of course the issue is who he had an affair with, and that's causing all the international concern. He claims he didn't know she was a spy. The president claims that he talked to Jensen Wong and told him, hey, didn't know the lady was a spy. Well, that doesn't matter now. The damage has possibly been done. Alice Wong is her name. She's an executive at a company that was buying chips from NVIDIA. And yeah, she's suspected of being a spy now. Ropes, how far does this go? They're talking about having him testify before Congress now.
00:16:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is going to continue for some time. And look, NVIDIA has said publicly it has no reason to believe the company's secrets or that U.S.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: National security were compromised in.
00:16:59
Speaker 1: Any way because of the affair, but the mere fact that they are doing an investigation implies that there may be more to learn. All right, next up on the run for the first time in nearly four months, the average price of gas in this country is finally below $ 4 a gallon.
00:17:15
Speaker 2: Yay!
00:17:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, the average price. We're getting this from AAA, of course. Dropped to $ 3. 98 yesterday, Robes. The first time the national average has been below $ 4 since July 20th.
00:17:26
Speaker 1: Just in time for the busiest travel time of the year, Thanksgiving holidays, where I'm sure AAA will come out soon with a record number of travelers set to hit the road on this Thanksgiving.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: So good news for them.
00:17:39
Speaker 3: We shake our heads. That was sarcasm. We've been in the business a long time. You can fill in the rundowns. At news stations about what stories are going to be covered every year. Halloween candy is up. Christmas trees. Price of trees is up. Chicken wings around the Super Bowl. It's cold in the winter. Gas prices are up. The record number, like the same story.
00:18:03
Speaker 2: Yes, the record number of travelers every year at certain times.
00:18:06
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, the busiest travel time during Thanksgiving holiday is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday afterwards.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: And you probably want to avoid the roads. Between the hours of 3 and 8 p.m.
00:18:15
Speaker 3: Y'all, we've been doing this 30 years. Watch. We should do, we should predict.
00:18:20
Speaker 1: It's hilarious.
00:18:21
Speaker 3: We can give you the rundowns on certain days on every, we can tell you right now what the story is going to be on December 24th.
00:18:29
Speaker 2: We start laughing.
00:18:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always the same. But yes, it's good news. Still the highest cost of gas, California, Hawaii, no surprise there. lowest in North Carolina and Texas, paying about $ 3. 20 over in North Carolina on average. Good for them.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: All right. And for the final leg of your run, it is the Kennedy Center versus Trump. Yes, the Kennedy family, not the Kennedy Center, the Kennedy family is suing to try and stop President Trump from building his triumphal arch. They actually submitted a legal filing on Tuesday that says the giant arch is would cast a shadow over the Kennedy family's memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. It would impede the sight lines from around D.C., which they say they enjoy, and is integral to their peace and reflection upon their family.
00:19:17
Speaker 2: And they say it would destroy its solemn and sacred atmosphere.
00:19:21
Speaker 3: I mean, he took the Kennedy Center. I mean, how much is left around there?
00:19:26
Speaker 1: Right.
00:19:27
Speaker 3: For John F. Kennedy.
00:19:29
Speaker 1: Right.
00:19:30
Speaker 3: We can't even see his name on the front of the place. The tarp's still up.
00:19:32
Speaker 2: The tarp is still up.
00:19:33
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. The judge is overseeing this case about the arch has already temporarily blocked construction. The Trump administration wanted to break ground as early as last week. White House spokesperson responded to the Kennedy's new lawsuit. I don't know. This obviously was. Stephen.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't Stephen Miller.
00:19:52
Speaker 3: No, Chung. What's his name? You love that guy.
00:19:55
Speaker 2: He's hilarious. I mean, he viscerates people. I thought it was Stephen Chung.
00:20:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it. But he's like the assistant communications director or something like that, but he is the one from that press office that is a bulldog in terms of how he speaks publicly. When I read this, I'm like, this couldn't have been him.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: This is a kinder, gentler version. Yes, they said, it is unfortunate to see that some members of the Kennedy family have joined the litigation against the Arch as the project is intended.
00:20:24
Speaker 2: To honor our heroes who rest in Arlington Cemetery.
00:20:27
Speaker 1: The judiciary should not be abused to politicize a structure designed to unite our nation. We will continue making the case for this beautiful and fitting monument and are confident we will fully be vindicated as this litigation proceeds.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: Man, that stings. Politicize a structure designated to unite our nation. Beautiful and fitting monument. That applies to the Kennedy Center, you know?
00:20:52
Speaker 2: Yes, it does. That's tough.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: That stings, baby.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: The irony of their own words aren't lost on us as we hear that. But yes, this judge.
00:21:00
Speaker 1: is weighing a longer-term block on the Arch's construction.
00:21:04
Speaker 2: We shall see what happens. All right, on this Wednesday, we have your quote of the day.
00:21:10
Speaker 1: While you're overthinking and doubting yourself, someone else is looking at you, wondering how you do it all.
00:21:17
Speaker 2: Keep going. Perspective. I think about that a lot.
00:21:23
Speaker 1: Yes, you can get overwhelmed and just whatever you have to do and what you haven't done yet. If you just take a moment to look around and take it in, I do think that those are moments where you can create perspective and give yourself a break. So while you're overthinking and doubting yourself, someone else is looking at you wondering how you do it all.
00:21:43
Speaker 2: Keep going. And with that, everyone, the only.
00:21:48
Speaker 3: Thing I got out of that is that you told me to keep going. That's all I got out of that. No, it's no more perspective.
00:21:54
Speaker 1: Take a moment to see all you've accomplished and actually enjoy it and let that inspire you.
00:22:00
Speaker 3: Don't let it bring you down. I have to keep going. I have time to sit and reflect. Okay. This is Wednesday morning. Hump days, man. Hump day runs are difficult for us. For some of us. Oh yes. I, Did mention my... What was your sleeve score?
00:22:16
Speaker 2: 45.
00:22:17
Speaker 3: And with that, folks, we always appreciate you running with us. That's Robes. I'm TJ. We'll run soon.
