Foreign. Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. As I am recording this podcast, we are still waiting desperately for any information about Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy. Obviously, she was abducted from her home early Sunday morning after going to dinner with her family. She was dropped off by her son in law. And when she didn't show up for church the next day, her fellow churchgoers kind of panicked and reached out to her family. They immediately went over to Nancy's house, and within three minutes, according to the timeline that the Pima County Sheriff's Department put up Today, they called 911 because they knew something was terribly wrong. And this is such an awful, awful case. And it's really something that strikes at the heart of people because I wrote about it today in the Daily Mail because as parents, you know, we're so conditioned to constantly worry about our children because, you know, they say when you have a child, your heart now lives outside of your body, but when you are someone else's child, you are their heart. And as our parents age, that connection doesn't diminish, and you end up worrying about your aging parents as much as you worry about your kids. And when you have kids and when you are a young family, you don't imagine that you are going to feel that way. And you just assume at some point that your worries will kind of stabilize and they don't. And that's when my heart really sank for Savannah and her family. When I read about this early Monday morning, I was just shocked and saddened to hear that this had happened to Savannah's mom, Nancy, who is 84. My. My mom is 84 years old, and, you know, luckily she lives with my stepdad, who is caring and devoted and wonderful. And even given that, I still worry about her all the time. But even the worries that we have, even the world that we have conceived, we think we know all the possible worries. There's no way her family could have ever conceived of something like this. She lives in Tucson, Arizona. She, you know, she's surrounded by friends and family. You assume that, you know, with security cameras and, you know, hopefully a good alarm system, that she's safe. And, you know, obviously she's got a very high profile daughter who is so deeply connected to her mother and her family that you just assume that if you're Savannah Guthrie, you do everything in your power to take care of your family and take care of your mom. And then something like, like this happens, and it shatters your sense of safety because we don't know who we don't know why, we don't really know how. And these outstanding questions just sort of add to this emotional situation. I've met Savannah Guthrie a few times and I have to tell you, she is one of the nicest, coolest, most sincere people that I have met. And as I pointed out today in the Daily Mail, I have been on TV for 35 years and I've met a lot of famous people. And you know, at this point, I can shake someone's hand, I can look them in the eye and I can read them pretty quickly and I can tell whether someone is completely full of crap. And I can tell if someone is genuine and the real deal. And the moment I met Savannah Guthrie, she was so warm and effusive and so excited to talk about her children and her family. And you could tell that she is a real decent, loving person. Don't go anywhere. More Kennedy Saves the World right after this. This is Ainsley Earhart. Thank you for joining me for the 52 episode podcast series the Life of Jesus, A listening experience that will provide hope, comfort and understanding of the greatest story ever told. Listen and follow now@foxnewspodcasts.com or wherever you listen to podcasts. I don't care what her politics are. I don't care if she has made assumptions in the past or implications. I don't care about any of it. The person that I talked to was kind and gracious and a great listener. And that is so rare in an industry like this for someone as high profile as she is. Now, obviously she has been raised well and obviously she is deeply connected with her family and with her mother, which makes it all the more shocking and heartbreaking. And of course, we are hearing about bitcoin. We are hearing about deadlines, we are hearing about ransom notes. And if all of that is true, I hope that leads to a positive outcome. I hope that means that her mom is still alive, that someone has her. And if they want money, hey, man, if. If it were my mom, you know, it's like I can only imagine the conversations that they're having, but the desperation that they must feel. They must be like, who cares? Like, it's only money. Pay it. You know, and if these people get caught, they get caught. And if not, and we get our mom back, that's the most important thing. And that's what she is clearly grappling with with her family. She was supposed to leave for Milan Cortina, for Italy for the Winter Olympics. And you know, she's. She's not going. She's not only not going to be part of the opening ceremony, she's not going to be part of the Olympics at all. You know, we're also reading that her Today show co host, Craig Melvin, is also not going to Italy. And that speaks to the connection that they have at NBC and on that show. And you could tell Craig Melvin reading this morning when he was talking about the emotional video that Savannah and her sister Annie and her brother and had recorded, you know, pleading with whoever has abducted their mom, talking directly to their mom, that it was so difficult for them. And it was also so difficult for Craig, who, you know, has developed, like Savannah has with her family, a deep bond with his co host, who is a good person. And because of that, because of all the violence that we've seen, you know, people have a way of justifying this horrific violence, political or otherwise. I hope to God that that has not that kind of violence that we saw with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that that has not made its way to Savannah Guthrie's family. I hope that we have a peaceful and healthful resolution here where that family can be reunited, where we as a society have a glimmer of hope because we have already glimpsed evil. And I don't want people to grow numb to that. I don't want people to think that that is normal. I don't want, you know, this addiction to true crime take over our humanity and the need for peace and prayer and for a situation like this to have a positive resolution. And I truly hope and pray that it does. And, you know, if you are listening to this and you know anything about it, call the Pima County Sheriff's Department. You can find the number anywhere. If you know someone who is holding on to, say, Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy, just please let her go. Let the family be reunited. That is all they want. It is what they deserve. And human beings should be better than this. This has been Kennedy Saves the World. Like you, I am urgently watching this story, hoping and praying that it ends well. I'm Kennedy.
