1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,000 Speaker 1: In America. 2 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: Richard Arnold, good morning to you. What make so? 3 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Why has she disappeared and has she been nabbed? 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 2: Good question. It appears she has been abducted. Savannah Guthrie, 5 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: of course, is the daughter of Nancy Guthrie who has disappeared. 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: Savannah is one of the most popular figures on American 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 2: television as co host of the Today Show. Here now 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: she's caught up in this most horrifying situation as her 9 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 2: eighty four year old mum, Nancy appears to have been 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: kidnapped from her bed at night and still is missing. 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: So this just happened hours ago. The mother, Nancy does 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: not have any cognitive issues. She's sharp. She does have 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: physical ailments, and her family says she couldn't walk more 14 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: than some fifty meters without assistance. She was supposed to 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: turn up at her local church in the Tucson, Arizona Era, 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: and her family reported her missing when she did not. 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: At her home, police found evidence of a crime scene. 18 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: There had been a forced entry. There were also signs 19 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: of a struggle. Some blood has been found as well. 20 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: The sheriff, Chris Nanov, says it's clear she did not 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: leave on her own. Her phone and her we're left behind. Also, 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: they have been searching nearby areas, but now, says the sheriff. 23 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: We're pushing more to the investigative side of this. You know, 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 3: we through the night. We learned a little bit more 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 3: about some of the things we've submitted for DNA with 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: the labs, but nothing really that would be helpless identify 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: a suspect. 28 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: Well, they're looking for more information if they can get 29 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: it from folks. She says. 30 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: Also, it's very scary to be in your own bedroom, 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: in your own bed, safe and secure in your own 32 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: home and to be taken like that in the middle 33 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: of night. That is not too sold. Well. 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: Savannah Guthrie actually was born in Melbourne. Her father was 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: working in Australia at the time. Her mum is well 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: known from the Today's Show. On occasional appearances, she would 37 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: make like this where she's talk about living in the 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: western desert. I'm so wonderful, just the air of the 39 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: quality of life is playback and chentle. Well, now the 40 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: clock is ticking, says the sheriff, because she is reliant 41 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: on life saving meds. 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: If she doesn't get that, we were told within twenty 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: four hours. 44 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: It could be fatal, so it is the lead story here. 45 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: Mike Police asking for help from anyone who knows anything 46 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: in Savannah has issued that appeal as well. Savannah was 47 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 2: meant to leave for Italy yesterday to host coverage of 48 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: the Winter Olympics. She's now withdrawn from that without drawing 49 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: any parallels. This has been a pretty tumultuous time for 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: media celebs, just this week seeing enst On Lemon, of course, 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: was arrested on a flimsy charge while covering an anti 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: ice protest. Stephen Colbert has just given his official departure 53 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: date from his late night show. Jimmy Kimmel is back 54 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: on air after being removed in mid September, and on 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: and on the disappearance of Nancy Gusslie. Of course, the 56 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: most concerning exactly given US constitutional are they going to 57 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: be able to nationalize elections or is this just hot air? Boy? 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: Oh boy, it's it's part of a broader effort. I 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: think is the significance of it. You know, the midterm 60 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: elections are set for the first week of November, and 61 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: with his pole slipping trumpets, making of highly controversial moves 62 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 2: in advance of it, just this week of court, the 63 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: Democrat won a special election for a state Senate seat 64 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: in Texas. Of all places, so Ruby read Texas. The 65 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: Democrat won with a thirty one percentage point swing, taking 66 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: that seat by fourteen points in an electorate which Trump 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: carried last time by seventeen points. So Trump now is 68 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: calling yes for a federal takeover of elections in much 69 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: of the country. Here's what he told podcaster Dan Bongino 70 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: about his idea on all of this. 71 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: The Republicans should say we want to take over, we 72 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: should take over the voting, the voting, and at least 73 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: many fifteen places, the Republicans are to nationalize the voting. 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: So a party taking of the voting. It's not exactly 75 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: like the kind of national election controller you were talking 76 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: about earlier. That is illegal according to the US Constitution, 77 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: which says these elections are governed by state law, not 78 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: by any political party in power. But this is not 79 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: only what the only thing that Trump is saying. He 80 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: just spoke with FBI agency this week sees the original 81 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: voting records from the twenty twenty election in Georgia, where 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: Trump lost. He's also suing more than twenty states for 83 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: refusing to turn over their voter files. What he wants 84 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: to do with them, who knows. Meantime, the government itself 85 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: remains partially shut down and the vote to reopen has 86 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: been torturous. They've just had a preliminary voting effort where 87 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: Republicans can only afford to lose one single vote in 88 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: the House, and during the vote they actually lost two 89 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: Thomas Massey and John Rose, who, after a lot of 90 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: arm twisting, decided to flip his vote from a note 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: to a yes. So it's been a lot of fun 92 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 2: and games. It's expected to pass later today on a 93 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: broader effort elsewhere. The Clintons have agreed to testify in 94 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: the Jeffrey Epstein pedophilia inquiry, as Republicans were threatened to 95 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: hold them in contempt. Looking through some of the massive 96 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: number of Epstein files last night, I saw a file 97 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: photo of Bill Clinton standing alongside Kevin Spacey, seemingly an 98 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: event attended by Epstein. Clinton has said he cut ties 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: with Epstein before the billionaires child sex trafficking was known. 100 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: Kevin space of course, found not liable for battery in 101 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: a civil suit brought by an actor Anthony Rapp, who 102 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: alleged space he made a sexual advance on him when 103 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: he was fourteen, while Trump insists there is nothing in 104 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: the Epstein files, even as thirty eight thousand references to 105 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: him have been counted so far. The Department of Justice 106 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: also failed to redact images of a large number of children, 107 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: some of these images containing the faces of naked children, 108 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: in a major violation. And there are seemingly endless allegations 109 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: of rape and abuse and corruption by Epstein associates, by 110 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: dozens and dozens of well known figures, and mostly it 111 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: seems those accusations have led to not very much at all. 112 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: See you next week, mate, Richard Donald's So Outside For 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to news talks. 114 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: It'd be from six am weekdays, or follow the podcast 115 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: on iHeartRadio.
