Speaker 1: He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal,
Speaker 1: so says the attorney for Sean ditty Comb. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm T J.
Speaker 2: Holt and I'm Amy Robach. It's Tuesday, September seventeenth. Sean
Speaker 2: ditty Comb's arrested in Manhattan. Last night. Trump blames Biden
Speaker 2: and Harris for people wanting to shoot him. Elon Musk
Speaker 2: makes a joke, the White House didn't laugh.
Speaker 1: Also, an asteroid will pass Earth today. No, you won't
Speaker 1: have to duck. The fight over the most talked about
Speaker 1: bronze medal maybe ever continues. The Moon is going through
Speaker 1: an identity crisis tonight. A common sleep disorder can now
Speaker 1: be diagnosed by your Apple Watch.
Speaker 2: Miley Cyrus can buy yourself flowers, but now being sued
Speaker 2: for not writing her own song. And Amazon is about
Speaker 2: to mess it up for the rest of us.
Speaker 1: But we're going to start our morning ron on this
Speaker 1: Tuesday with Sean ditty Combs taken into federal custody. We
Speaker 1: got word late last night that the music mogul, the
Speaker 1: music Icon, was arrested at the Parkhayatt hotel in Midtown Manhattan,
Speaker 1: some reports saying plucked right out of the lobby. This
Speaker 1: all after a grand jury indictment indicted him in a
Speaker 1: criminal investigation. He's expected in court today and that's when
Speaker 1: the indictment will be unsealed and we expect to get
Speaker 1: the details of the exact charges he's facing. But he
Speaker 1: had been facing a federal sex trafficking investigation since late
Speaker 1: last year.
Speaker 2: And this has been a rapid turn of events which
Speaker 2: started last November when his former girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura,
Speaker 2: filed a lawsuit against him, alleging years of physical and
Speaker 2: sexual abuse. Did He initially strongly denied those allegations, but
Speaker 2: the lawsuit was settled the very next day. Soon after,
Speaker 2: two more women filed lawsuits against Ditty alleging sex abuse,
Speaker 2: and then more lawsuits would follow, at least nine from women,
Speaker 2: one from a man, accusing Ditty of sexual abuse.
Speaker 1: And drug Then, in March of this year, federal agents
Speaker 1: raided Ditty's homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part
Speaker 1: of an investigation into sex trafficking, narcotics, and weapons, a
Speaker 1: move that Diddy's attorneys called excessive. Then came the video
Speaker 1: in May, hotel surveillance video aired by CNN that showed
Speaker 1: Ditty chasing then girlfriend Cassie down a hallway, kicking her
Speaker 1: repeatedly while she was on the ground, and dragging her
Speaker 1: down the hall.
Speaker 2: It is been hard to watch, and it's been playing
Speaker 2: throughout the night tonight. Did He soon afterwards apologized for
Speaker 2: that video. But then people, brands, even cities started to
Speaker 2: distance themselves from him. The prep school in Harlem that
Speaker 2: he started ended its partnership with him. The mayor of
Speaker 2: New York asked him to return the key to this city.
Speaker 2: Howard University revoked his honorary degree. You get the point.
Speaker 2: Everyone distancing themselves from Diddy.
Speaker 1: Did He's lawyer released a statement saying they were quote
Speaker 1: disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is
Speaker 1: an unjust process in quote went on to say that
Speaker 1: Diddy had relocated to New York in recent days in
Speaker 1: anticipation of the charges, that had been cooperating with the investigation.
Speaker 1: All things that are not typical of a guilty man,
Speaker 1: they say. The lawyer goes on to ask, please reserve
Speaker 1: your judgment until you have all the facts.
Speaker 2: And we will wait for that, but we continue our
Speaker 2: run with Trump, the man, federal officials say wanted to
Speaker 2: assassinate President Trump apparently brought snacks with him. That is
Speaker 2: one of the strange details in the affidavit against fifty
Speaker 2: eight year old Ryan Wesley Ralph, who was in court
Speaker 2: Monday facing two federal gun charges related to the alleged plot.
Speaker 1: Authority say Ralph actually staked out the area for about
Speaker 1: twelve hours surrounding the golf course where the former president
Speaker 1: was playing Sunday before Secret Service agents spotted the barrel
Speaker 1: of a gun through a tree line, a fence line,
Speaker 1: i should say, and fired at Ralph. He fled. He
Speaker 1: didn't get any shots off, but he was soon taken
Speaker 1: into custody. A rifle, backpacks, GoPro, and that food all
Speaker 1: that was found in the area where Routh had fled.
Speaker 2: The Secret Service says Routh never actually had Trump in
Speaker 2: his line of sight, and of course Trump was unharmed. That,
Speaker 2: of course, very different from the first attempt on Trump's
Speaker 2: life that happened at a rally in Pennsylvania just two
Speaker 2: months ago, where he was clipped in the ear by
Speaker 2: a bullet. Now, after this latest incident, people and politicians
Speaker 2: immediately denounced political violence and urged all sides to tone
Speaker 2: down the rhetoric.
Speaker 1: But many were taken aback by the rhetoric. Trump used
Speaker 1: to ask others to tone down their rhetoric of the shooter.
Speaker 1: Trump said, and I quote he believed the rhetoric of
Speaker 1: Biden and Harris and he acted on it. Their rhetoric
Speaker 1: is causing me to be shot at when I am
Speaker 1: the one who is going to save the country and
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are destroying the country. His running
Speaker 1: mate J D. Vance, not to be outdone, said this quote,
Speaker 1: you know, the big difference between conservatives and liberals is
Speaker 1: that no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and two people now have
Speaker 1: tried to kill Donald Trump in the last couple of months.
Speaker 1: In quote, this is scary stuff. And many took some
Speaker 1: of those quotes and some of those words almost as
Speaker 1: instructions to go after the Democrats.
Speaker 2: As you always tell me, words matter. And next up
Speaker 2: on our run, Elon Musk weighed in as well. Trump ally,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk didn't help tone things down with this social
Speaker 2: media post, and I'm quoting him here. No one is
Speaker 2: even trying to assassinate Kamala slash Biden. Well, that post
Speaker 2: was put up on x formerly known as Twitter, and
Speaker 2: was soon after deleted.
Speaker 1: And Musk claimed later that it was a joke, but
Speaker 1: the White House called it irresponsible and in a statement
Speaker 1: said violence should only be condemned, never encouraged or joked about.
Speaker 1: This is relevant for a whole number of reasons. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are contributing to some bad rhetoric out there,
Speaker 1: but Elon Musk is different because Elon Musk is the
Speaker 1: number one user of x Twitter. He has one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety five plus followers, the number he has under
Speaker 1: ninety five million. Excuse me, thank you for that hundred
Speaker 1: ninety five plus million. He has more than anybody else
Speaker 1: on that platform. He says anything and it goes everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a very scary political climate we're in,
Speaker 2: and everyone, politicians, folks, in the media, anyone is responsible
Speaker 2: for what comes out of their mouth and what they
Speaker 2: put out on social media, and as we have seen,
Speaker 2: it can have real life scary effects. So please everyone
Speaker 2: remember that Our run continues this morning with Ohio governor
Speaker 2: sending troops to protect school starting today. A contingent of
Speaker 2: thirty six troopers will be a dozens I believe seventeen
Speaker 2: to be specific Springfield, Ohio schools. This is to sweep
Speaker 2: the buildings and stay on campus through dismissal, after thirty
Speaker 2: three bomb threats have now been called into schools there.
Speaker 2: These threats began after last week's presidential debate, where we
Speaker 2: heard former President Trump repeating a baseless rumor that Haitian
Speaker 2: immigrants in that city of Springfield, Ohio were actually abducting
Speaker 2: cats and dogs and pets and then eating them.
Speaker 1: Ohio Governor Mike Dwine ordered the deployment to reassure the
Speaker 1: city after thousands of students have been disrupted even evacuated
Speaker 1: from schools in recent days. Governor says, so far none
Speaker 1: of the threats had any validity, but they are taking
Speaker 1: them seriously. They have to city Hall. Several local hospitals
Speaker 1: have been threatened as well.
Speaker 2: Now, thousands of Haitians have settled into that city of
Speaker 2: Springfield following the pandemic to fill jobs in the area.
Speaker 2: Vice presidential nominee Jade Vans, Trump's running mate and Ohio's
Speaker 2: junior senator, has been referencing Springfield in recent months to
Speaker 2: criticize the Biden administration's border policies. Because because Haitian immigrants
Speaker 2: in that city have put some pressure on the city
Speaker 2: social services and schools. So this is a very charged
Speaker 2: environment that is having real life impact for the residents there,
Speaker 2: the students and parents. It's a tough situation that isn't
Speaker 2: ending anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Historic times difficult times, and our political discourse has been
Speaker 1: dominated by the idea of eating cats and dogs in
Speaker 1: a little town that most people can't find on a
Speaker 1: map that is where we are, and that is unfortunate.
Speaker 2: And to your point earlier, joking about this sort of thing,
Speaker 2: or even perpetuating things that are unfounded, can have serious
Speaker 2: and dangerous implications.
Speaker 1: Well, say with us here, folks, our morning run is
Speaker 1: going to continue up next. You really didn't think Jordan
Speaker 1: Child was going to put that bronze medal in a
Speaker 1: FedEx and send it back. Let's continue our morning run
Speaker 1: now with Jordan Child, the bronze medalist, right, Well, they
Speaker 1: told her to send it back, But you didn't really
Speaker 1: think she was just going to send that bronze medal
Speaker 1: back without a fight, did you. She has now filed
Speaker 1: an appeal to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland regarding
Speaker 1: the decision that cost her her Olympic bronze medal last.
Speaker 2: Month, she was ultimately stripped of her medal after the
Speaker 2: Romanian gymnastics team challenged the judge's decision to revise Child's
Speaker 2: score after her degree of difficulty wasn't fully taken into account.
Speaker 2: That revised score put Jordan Chiles in third place, earning
Speaker 2: her the bronze medal.
Speaker 1: Okay, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld that challenge,
Speaker 1: saying Child's team did not ask for the review in time.
Speaker 1: Her attorneys say that that Court of Arbitration violated her
Speaker 1: right to be heard, refusing to consider video evidence that
Speaker 1: showed her inquiry was in fact submitted on time. They're
Speaker 1: hoping she'll be allowed to prepare a defense and present
Speaker 1: that evidence in a retrial before that Court of Arbitration
Speaker 1: and romes. What are we talking about here? Four seconds? What?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: How many seconds?
Speaker 2: Was?
Speaker 1: It was only a matter of seconds? They said, her
Speaker 1: review came in late, and that's why her score shouldn't
Speaker 1: have changed. You're right about seconds.
Speaker 2: Here, correct, Well, they said that you have sixty seconds
Speaker 2: when you're the final competitor, which she was the final
Speaker 2: competitor on that floor exercise, you have one minute to
Speaker 2: raise an inquiry, and the US Gymnastics Federation has said
Speaker 2: that they not only got it within well within the time,
Speaker 2: but they had a second inquiry with five seconds to spare,
Speaker 2: so and they say they have video evidence that proves
Speaker 2: that they asked for that revision or at least they
Speaker 2: put in the inquiry for a revised score well within
Speaker 2: the alloted time, and they're hoping that, they said, Chriles
Speaker 2: has not been able to present this evidence, so if
Speaker 2: she's allowed to have a retrial, she will be able
Speaker 2: to put all of this in front of that panel.
Speaker 2: And they claim this is a black and white, easy
Speaker 2: case to arbitrate here because it's clearly evidenced that she
Speaker 2: and her coaches made that inquiry in time. So we'll
Speaker 2: have to stay tuned and see what happens next with that.
Speaker 2: But next up on the Morning Run, there's an asteroid alert.
Speaker 2: In fact, NASA has issued that alert for a stadium
Speaker 2: sized asteroid that is set to make a what they're
Speaker 2: calling close approach to Earth today. The asteroid is ginormous.
Speaker 2: It's nine hundred and fifty feet across and it will
Speaker 2: come within one million kilometers of Earth, to which I
Speaker 2: ask we need an alert for.
Speaker 1: That it's relatively close in space term, just relatively close,
Speaker 1: just being tracked by a virtual telescope project traveling around
Speaker 1: forty thousand kilometers an hour. Have no idea how to
Speaker 1: put that into real terms. But even though it poses
Speaker 1: no risks to Earth on its current trajectory, we're told
Speaker 1: that even a small deviation could have major consequences. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is your reality check. It will not pass close
Speaker 1: enough to Earth to see it without a telescope. That's
Speaker 1: important to note. So you won't just be able to
Speaker 1: look up and see it. If you can look up and.
Speaker 2: See, we are in trouble if it's made that slight deviation.
Speaker 2: I'm always concerned because I feel like we get these
Speaker 2: alerts at least a couple of times a year. I
Speaker 2: just don't know what I'm supposed to do with this alert.
Speaker 1: It's information. When we call an alert, it seems like
Speaker 1: it's a warning, but it's just information. This is it's
Speaker 1: almost three times farther from Earth than the Moon is.
Speaker 1: To give some perspective there. That kind of helps. But again,
Speaker 1: this is relatively close in space terms, So sure I
Speaker 1: want to hear about it.
Speaker 2: I do you though, Okay, all right, Well, let's just
Speaker 2: say this. If you're looking for something to see in
Speaker 2: the night sky tonight without a telescope and that poses
Speaker 2: no risk to us whatsoever and has some potential high reward,
Speaker 2: your in luck tonight is your night. It is being
Speaker 2: called a celestial trifecta. Tonight there will be three cosmic
Speaker 2: events happening all at the same time during a full moon.
Speaker 2: So let me see if I can get this straight.
Speaker 2: The harvest moon will coincide with a super moon, which
Speaker 2: will make it look like a blood moon. And on
Speaker 2: top of all of that, but there was a partial
Speaker 2: lunar eclipse to give you some perspective here, Harvest moons
Speaker 2: happen each year close to the start of fall, so
Speaker 2: that makes sense. This is all happening right now. Supermoon's
Speaker 2: happen about three to four times a year, but all
Speaker 2: three events taking place at the same time is, according
Speaker 2: to NASA, quite rare.
Speaker 1: Heay, did y'all get all this the moon stuff, blood,
Speaker 1: super harvest, harvest. Okay, here's the thing. Just look up
Speaker 1: at the moon tonight. It's gonna be cool. The best
Speaker 1: time to see this will depend on where you are,
Speaker 1: but the lunar eclipse will peak at around ten forty
Speaker 1: four pm Eastern time, and all of North and South
Speaker 1: America will have a chance to see the harvest full supermoon.
Speaker 1: Is that and lunar eclipse and the lunar eclipse depending
Speaker 1: on the weather. If you miss it, don't worry. You'll
Speaker 1: have another chance in about nine.
Speaker 2: Years October eighth, twenty thirty three to be specific. All
Speaker 2: right up next on the morning run. Apple has done
Speaker 2: it again. Yesterday we told you about the AirPods that
Speaker 2: can become hearing aids. Well, now you're at watch could
Speaker 2: actually diagnose a dangerous sleep disorder. The US Food and
Speaker 2: Drug Administration the FDA has officially approved Apple's new sleep
Speaker 2: apnea detection feature for use, and it's available if you
Speaker 2: have an Apple Watch already, if you have the Series
Speaker 2: nine ten or the Ultra two with a simple software update.
Speaker 1: This is incredible. Sleep apnea causes you to have breathing
Speaker 1: issues while you're sleeping at night. You start to breathe
Speaker 1: rapidly and you stop and start throughout the night, and
Speaker 1: affects more than thirty million people here in the US,
Speaker 1: but only about six million are actually diagnosed, according to doctors,
Speaker 1: because so many people are reluctant to seek out testing
Speaker 1: because it's time consuming and it's costly.
Speaker 2: Yes, so doctors who treat sleep apnea believe that this
Speaker 2: Apple Watch feature could potentially be a game changer. And
Speaker 2: this is interesting especially for patients who sleep alone. Many
Speaker 2: of them will likely be surprised to find out they're
Speaker 2: showing signs to this disorder. They don't have a a
Speaker 2: partner to wake them up and say what are you doing,
Speaker 2: or are concerned for them, so they're alone, and this actually,
Speaker 2: this watch feature could potentially help lives safe lives even
Speaker 2: because if left untreated, sleep apnea can cause fatigue at
Speaker 2: the very low levels, but it can eventually lead to
Speaker 2: more serious health problems like heart issues, hypertension, and even
Speaker 2: type two diabetes.
Speaker 1: We applaud this again because it's cool to see that
Speaker 1: our wearable devices, that these things we use to just
Speaker 1: listen to music or go for a run by looking
Speaker 1: at your watch can actually have impacts and literally now
Speaker 1: in some cases, save your life. So well done, Apple.
Speaker 1: We continue our run with a song that we often
Speaker 1: do listen to while we're on an actual run out there.
Speaker 1: This is the song you could not get out of
Speaker 1: your Head, the song that you Couldn't get away from,
Speaker 1: the song that want to Grammy this Year, the song
Speaker 1: we all know and love, the song I can't get
Speaker 1: my daughter or my girlfriend who stops singing? Well, it's
Speaker 1: now the center of a lawsuit. Miley Cyrus facing a
Speaker 1: lawsuit legend she copied Bruno Mars hit song When I
Speaker 1: Was Your Man for her hit song Flowers.
Speaker 2: And to that we say du uh. Cyrus obviously was
Speaker 2: copying Bruno Mar's head, but a new lawsuit says she
Speaker 2: didn't have the right to do so and is now
Speaker 2: accusing her of copyright infringement. Tempo Music is a company
Speaker 2: claiming it owns part of that copyright to the Bruno
Speaker 2: Mars song and that Flowers wouldn't exist without When I
Speaker 2: Was Your Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tempo says it doesn't want Cyrus to be able
Speaker 1: to distribute or perform the song. Where's Bruno Mars and
Speaker 1: all this? Actually, he is not a plaintive in this lawsuit, Robes.
Speaker 1: I'm confused by this because I thought that was the point.
Speaker 1: I thought it was understood that it was a response
Speaker 1: to his song, But now this threw me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so everyone can hear the likeness and knows that
Speaker 2: she was doing it deliberately. This wasn't like a sneaky,
Speaker 2: you know, steal here. She was actually very open and
Speaker 2: talking about how she loved the song and how she
Speaker 2: put a twist on it, and she was a response
Speaker 2: to that song. So anyway, I'm going to keep listening
Speaker 2: to it and running to it and loving it and
Speaker 2: not being able to get it out of my head
Speaker 2: today because well, that's what that is. It's an earworm.
Speaker 2: That's what they call those songs. But we love them,
Speaker 2: and we'll keep you updated on the latest on that lawsuit.
Speaker 2: And finally, on the last leg. If you're morning run,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about Amazon. No more working from
Speaker 2: home for Amazon employees. This is from CEO Andy Jase.
Speaker 2: He just announced that all workers must now report to
Speaker 2: the office five days a week, saying it will lead
Speaker 2: to a more effective, connected, and collaborative environment.
Speaker 1: I love this. Actually, the return to office requirement will
Speaker 1: take effect January of twenty twenty five, just three more
Speaker 1: months for some folks to enjoy the sweatpants and slippers.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you. You are in.
Speaker 2: Shorts, I am and a tank top.
Speaker 1: Sweatpants and a T shirt. But we'd love to get
Speaker 1: back to the office. Isn't that ironic?
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, like, we are working from home
Speaker 2: right now, but not because we want to or prefer to.
Speaker 2: I actually like being in the office. I'm one of
Speaker 2: those and you're the same way, correct, TJ.
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah, when a lot of people do appreciate the
Speaker 1: being alone, the isolation. It helps with childcare, all kinds
Speaker 1: of things. But on the flip side of that, it
Speaker 1: takes away from camaraderie, partnership and collaboration in an office
Speaker 1: and just human interaction. So this sure sum will follow,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people out there sign up for
Speaker 1: a job and say, hey, I can work from home,
Speaker 1: right They expect that these days, So maybe this will
Speaker 1: cause a shift and where we were after the pandemic.
Speaker 2: That is what a lot of industry insiders believe. This
Speaker 2: is what we're going to be seeing more and more of.
Speaker 2: We heard Boeing, JP Morgan. There have been other big
Speaker 2: companies who have also ups as well, who have made
Speaker 2: this change back to where we were before the pandemic.
Speaker 2: We will see where that takes us. For those of
Speaker 2: you who like working from home, enjoy it while you can,
Speaker 2: and we'll lead you with that as we report from Well,
Speaker 2: we've just moved from the kitchen to the bedroom here
Speaker 2: in Manhattan, but we want to thank everyone for running
Speaker 2: with us today.
Speaker 1: M
