Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, OpenAI suspects that China's DeepSeek was ripping off its models. How rich.
Then it was a tense three and a half hours in D.C. as RFK Jr. interviewed for the nation's top health job. It's Wednesday, January 30th. Let's ride. Let's ride.
A tragedy is unfolding in Washington, D.C. this morning after a regional jet operated for American Airlines collided with a military helicopter as the plane attempted to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport around 9 p.m. local time. 64 people were on the flight, 60 passengers and four crew members, and many are feared dead.
A massive search and rescue operation was launched overnight in the Potomac River, with about 300 responders scouring the freezing water in tough, frigid conditions. As of 6 a.m. Eastern, at least 19 bodies had been recovered.
And among those members on the flight were some members of the U.S. figure skating community, as well as two former world champion Russian skaters. They were returning from a training camp that follows the U.S. figure skating championships in Wichita, Kansas. I also just want to stress how rare this is. This was the first major commercial aircraft in the United States in the last 16 years.
So we'll be keeping an eye on things as more updates come in throughout the morning and our thoughts go out to the figure skating community and anyone else affected by this crash. Now a word from our sponsor, Yahoo Finance. Neil, big earnings day yesterday. Meta, Microsoft, Tesla, oh my.
Have I ever told you about my idea for covering big tech earnings? I want to host a college game day-ass show where we get a panel of analysts together to react when the earnings drop.
