Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, thanks for being here this morning. In the
Big Three, as Jacqueline just mentioned, there was a time
at the Newark International Airport last week that the screens
in front of the air traffic controllers went blank. Not
only did they go blank, but you couldn't communicate with
any of the pilots coming in either for sixty to
(00:23):
ninety seconds. That happened, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says,
of course that is something to be concerned about, but
a crash was never going to happen. Now we're planes
going to crash.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
No, they have communication devices, they can see other air
Trafficlink GPS in the airplanes. But it's a sign that
we have a frail system in place and it has
to be fixed.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, it has to be fixed. He's going to be
holding a news conference at Newark this week, and we're
learning also that it may be months, not days before
where flights can get back on schedule at Newark's Liberty
International Airport. In the meantime, jury selection continues today in
the p Diddy sexual assault and trafficking trial, and the
(01:12):
defense has already signaled their strategy.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
They're going to say and alleged that these victims were
in a consensual sexual relationship.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
And that these were not acts that they were not
in agreement with.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
How about Attorney General Letitia James, who was facing possible
federal charges for mortgage fraud, which is rich is now
leading a lawsuit with other Democratic ags across the country,
all democratic ags in democratic courts to stop Donald Trump's agenda.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
The justices have said, including liberal justices like Justice Kagan,
that this is truly insane and this is just the
latest such a lawsuit to retot try to limit what
this president can do.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He's right, I can't wait till this gets the Supreme Court.
Maybe they'll put an end to this. And Donald Trump
is serious about reopening the world famous San Francisco prison Alcatraz.
So when could the infamous prison reopen?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
I think pretty darn quick. He's already ordered the FBI,
the Bureau of Prisons, and the Department of Homeland Security
to get to work on this. Nice going to involve
the National Park Service, but I think Secretary Bergham will
be ready to move out swiftly on this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And today the newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney,
will be at the White House to meet with President
Donald Trump. That should be a tense meeting, you know,
since President Trump said he wants to make Canada the
fifty first state and hit them with high tariffs. Let's
get the latest from John Decker, wr White House and
(02:49):
Washington Correspondent. Good morning, John, Hey, good morning Larry.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
I hope you're doing well today. It's going to be
an interesting meeting. I'll be in the Oval Office when
the President meets with the new prime minister from Canada.
The President has said some kind things about Mark Carney.
I think Mark Carney owes his election to Donald Trump because,
as you know, it seemed as if the Conservatives were
headed for a clear victory when you had Prime Minister
(03:15):
Trudeau competing, and then when he dropped out of the race,
everything went the Liberals way. And that's the reason why
Mark Carney today is the Prime Minister of Canada.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You know, it would be good for both of them
politically if they could come out of the meetings today
with some type of agreement. I think it would be
too much to hope for a tariff deal, but some
type of agreement. Don't you believe that that's what they're
on both of their minds. Going into this meeting.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Yeah, but I don't know what that agreement looks like.
You know, tariffs have really created friction between both countries.
You know, I have good feelings about Canadians, but I
don't think Canadians have good feelings about US right now.
Just to remember a few weeks back when there was
that USA Canada hockey match and the anthem of the
United States was booed by Canadians when that hockey game
(04:09):
was being played in Montreal. And you know that there
are some Canadians canceled vacations here in the US. They
are boycotting American products. So obviously there needs to be
some work in terms of making this a better relationship.
After all, Canada and the US, they are trading partners,
and it's our largest trading partner actually by dollar volume,
(04:32):
and it's important to have that relationship and a good
place going forward. And it wasn't a good place, you know,
in the president's first term with the US MCA trade
Agreement being signed, the US Mexico Canada Trade Agreement being signed,
But that essentially is in the past, and the presidents
focused on his tariff's policy right now.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, I can tell you firsthand about the Canadians canceling
their trips, because I have a lot of friends that
own property and own businesses up and down the Jersey Shore,
which is a popular place for Canadians to go, which
I didn't know until they told me, and they're worried
about it because a lot of people have not been
able to renew some rentals over the weekend who were
(05:14):
in the past done by Canadians. So there is a
real economic impact when it comes to vacationing by Canadians. However, John,
you've been covering this a long time. A lot of
these world leaders talk one way on the national stage,
and then when they get together they talk another way completely.
(05:37):
I guess the great hope is that that happens today.
Have they been signaling what they might talk about and
how they might act before this meeting.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Well, the President leading up to this meeting has said
kind things about the new Canadian Prime Minister, mister Carneia,
and that's a positive thing, as opposed to the relationship
that the President had with Justin Trudeau, in which you
referred to him as Governor Trudeau, you know, alluding to
the idea of Canada as a fifty first day, So
you start off in a better position, right there, Larry.
(06:10):
That's good. And I would imagine it's going to be
I don't know for a fact, you never know what's
the president with President Donald Trump, but I would imagine
it's going to be niceties in the Oval Office today
when President Trump meets with the Canadian Prime minister.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, we can all hope. But it's funny every time
taraff seems to come up, everybody says, yeah, but what
about China. Well, you know that's the big one, that's
the white elephant, and what about China? So I'm asking you,
what about China? What is happening with China right now?
As far as we know from the White.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
House, Well, it's you know, we're getting one message sometimes
from the White House, we're getting another message from the
state run Chinese press, in which the state run Chinese
press say that there are no talks going on, no
trade talks going on in the US and China, although China,
(07:02):
through that state run media, has indicated they are open
to having those types of trade talks. After all, one
hundred and forty five percent tariffs, that's the tariff rate
placed upon Chinese goods that is really sky high, and
I think that that's not a good thing for the
Chinese economy. It's not a good thing for the US
(07:23):
economy either, you know. And I think that that's the
reason why both sides really need to talk this out
and get that tariff rate. Maybe it's not going to
ever get down to zero, but bring it down significantly
from the place where it is right now, one hundred
and twenty five percent tariffs by the way, on American
goods heading into China, so China has reciprocated with teriffs
(07:43):
of their own.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I thought it was a good sign. Yesterday I heard
the news conference in the you know, when he made
the big announcement about the NFL draft coming to coming
to Washington. He did talk about China, and he said
at one point, of course I'm going to reduce tariffs.
Of course I'm going to reduce tariffs from China, but
they have to reduce theirs. That's the first time I
(08:05):
heard him talk like that where he wasn't talking tough
about China. This is absolutely a negotiation in his mind.
That's what that signaled to me. How about you, Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
You know, I think that the President recognizes that that's
a really high tariff rate. But the only way it
comes down is if the president feels as if there's
something that China is giving President Trump, something that he's
that they're you know, essentially trying to provide to the US.
(08:37):
In terms of getting to a place where President Trump
feels he's made some progress as it relates to trede
talks with China, we're not there just yet, you know,
Scott Bessant, he's the Treasury secretary. He's not having meetings
with his counterpartner, or is the US trade representative having
meetings with his counterpart That's where the start of trade
(09:00):
talks begins, and right now they're not at that place
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You're a constitutional attorney. Letitia James has just announced that
she is leading another lawsuit that's going to federal district
court against the Trump administration. Even Justice Kagan came out
and said, it's insanity that they can stop policy in
district courts. Will they eventually deal with this?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Well, when you say deal with this, so if you're
referring to whether a federal district court judge can issue
a temporary restraining order that covers the whole country, that
is something that Congress is looking into in terms of
legislation to curtail that kind of power that a federal
district court has, federal district court judge has in terms
(09:49):
of issuing these tros that impact the entire United States.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about. And that
was a great answer. Thanks so much. John Decker, W R.
White House and Washing Correspondent, Thanks again, John, Thanks Larry Prince.
Harry wants to reconnect with the Royal Family. That's what
he said in an emotional interview on the BBC. We'll
let you hear some of it next. Plus we have
(10:15):
tickets to see the Doobie Brothers, who are touring again
this year with Michael McDonald at a twenty five. Well,
I will tell you and if you used to watch
my commentaries at all, either at the station in New
Jersey or WPIX, or even heard me on the air
here talk about the Royal Family, I could care less
about the Royal Family. I really have never been interested
(10:38):
in them. They are one of the most evil lineages
in the history of the world that tried to take
over the world several times. There are a bunch of inbreds.
I could go on and on. But I will tell
you this, I was just a little bit moved by
Prince Harry and his big interview on the BBC. It
wasn't a big interview here. It captivated the UK. Everybody
(11:03):
watched this interview because the BBC got him right after
he lost a lawsuit against the US government who was
cutting off all of his security. And what he said
in the interview is that he can't now travel back
to England to see the rest of his family, or
(11:24):
to do anything, or to go to the charities that
he loves.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
I can't see a world in which I would be
bringing my wife and children back to the UK at
this point. And the things that they the things that
they're going to miss is well everything.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
I love my country. I always have done despite what
some people in that country have done.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So you know I miss I missed the UK and
you have. You have to feel sorry for him, even
though I could really care less about the royal family.
They are some entitled inbreads that make a lot of
money and they don't do anything. But other than that,
he's a human being with his children and grandchildren who
want to see the rest of their family. And now
(12:09):
he's saying, because they don't have security, they can't even
travel back to England.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
I guess unless they pay for it themselves, which probably
would be a ridiculous amount of money.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I think they still get the money, but they have
to pay then for their own security right be paid for. Yeah,
and that may not be enough, at least he doesn't
think so. But the part that really got me is
is his father has been sick, and his father is
getting old, and his father, may you know, it's probably
going to die at least in the next decade, and
(12:40):
he wants to reconnect with them. And so I think
anybody can feel for that, a father and a son,
and a father wanting to be close, a son wanting
to be close to his father, especially as he nears
the end. And so this is the moment talking about
reconciliation with the rest of his father family that is
(13:01):
getting headlines across the United Kingdom.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
I would love reconciliation with my family. I've always you know,
there's no point in continuing to fight anymore, and I said,
life is precious. I don't know how much longer my
father has.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
There's a guy named Ropert Johnson who every time the
Royals come into the news, you're going to see him.
He's all over the television and the BBC in England,
ABC uses them. He's all over every time anything that
happens with the Royal family is in the news. And
he says this interview played extremely well for Harry in
(13:37):
England and extremely poorly for the Royal family.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
The interview with Harry wasn't great for the Royal family
because exposed to visions are still ongoing, exposed that the
King hasn't even been talking to his son at this stage,
and how much Harry is hurting in terms of the
fact that he is worried about his father.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So this is captivating England right now.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Well because this is an issue that people can relate to.
How many people who have family drama. I mean, we
can't relate to castles and you know, royal jewels and
things like that, but we can relate to a you know,
spat between you and your dad that has caused you
not to speak with him for a few years. It
happens all the time, and everybody understands that feeling.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It's terrible.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Nobody wants their family to be divided, and God forbid,
somebody pass away before you make up with each other.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah. No, absolutely, I agree with everything you said. Even
though they are a despicable family who sucks money away
from the British people and has in their lineage that
killed people throughout history, you can still feel for a
father wanting to reconnect with his son and his son
wanting to reconnect with his father. Can you can feel
(14:53):
for both? So you're right. It makes it a human story.
Even for me. It makes it, It makes it goes
beyond my feelings about the Royal family. I can feel
for a human being who wants to reconnect with his
father and wants his grandchildren to reconnect with their grandfather. Yeah,
I get it. I understand that. How about a talk back,
(15:15):
mister Larry. My mom just went to the bathroom and
left her phone here on the bed.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
She was listening to you. But she likes Natalie and
Burnie the most.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
Hey, Emily, put that phone down.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well they lose, there's no way they can. That was clever, But.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
No or an inviter.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
She's thest traffic. She is the best. She is the
best or close to the best.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
She is the best business. We are lucky to have her.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Okay, let's Get at seven thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Good Morning. President Trump is set to meet with Canada's
Prime Minister Mark Karney at the White House today.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Trump says he's not sure what Carney wants.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
To talk about, but told reporters yesterday he thinks Carney
wants to make a deal involving tariffs. The high stakes
meeting comes in the midst of a trade war between
the two countries, and New York City is expanding its
e bike charging infrastructure to support growing ridership.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I will do ride my bisy.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The Department of Transportation plans to electric five thirteen city
bike charging stations in existing locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn
this spring. DOT Commissionery Adonis Rodriguez says grid connected stations
will allow City Bike to charge e bikes while docked,
rather than sending its staffers to manually swap out batteries. DOT,
(16:49):
in cooperation with Lyft, says it needs to meet rising demand,
which surpassed twenty nine million e bike trips last year.
Sarah Lee Kessler wor new and how.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Would you like a lab grown t Rex leather handbag?
What I thought t rexes were going extinct. According to
Odity Central, three companies have teamed up to make the
world's first t rex leather handbag using lab grown material.
This t rex leather is cruelty free, eco friendly, and
mimics the strength and feel of real leather. The handbag,
(17:23):
set to launch later this year, will be a luxury
item with the high price tag. Would you buy one?
Natalie and Larry? Would you buy one for your wife?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Don No?
Speaker 9 (17:35):
I wouldn't say no right now, especially if it's pricey.
I know, and I're you talking about pracy. His pricey
bags can get are insane?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
They don't say, but I have to say, like, I
don't get why they think they can charge so much
for them. The three companies, I'm not gonna name them.
I have them right in front of me, but they
are not companies I would ever buy a handbag from.
They're just not. And they use this collagen protein from
eighty million years ago, eighty million year old t rex
(18:08):
fossils as a guide. But it's not actually growing t
rex leather skin. It's just this. It's just a bit
of a gimmick. It's a gimmick and I'm thinking, come on,
first of all, you have your names, no one would
recognize them. And there are certain companies that I like
their handbags. I wouldn't buy other companies handbags. And this
(18:30):
seems stupid.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Well, it just needs one influencer to start using this bag, right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, But I'll tell you what. The fact that they're
using DNA and they're using samples from t Rex years ago,
that's what scares me the most. Has anybody seen Jurassic Park?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I know, life finds away. Your handbag could just suddenly
multiply with other handbags, and god knows what could happen.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
This won't end well when it starts with handbags. It
ends with us all being eating really in our mentee
the morning t shirts no less, No, they'll protect you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Okay, see another reason why you need one?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Exactly they ward off dinosaurs things, Thanks Jacqueline. Things have
intensified in the word between Israel and Hamas and now
Benjamin nettan Yahoo says he wants to take all of Gaza.
Will go live to Jerusalem and get the latest from
Jordana Miller. Next. Also, world renowned illusionist, endurance artist and
(19:29):
master of the impossible, David Blaine sits down for a
deep and insightful conversation that goes far beyond magic. Open
the free iHeartRadio app and search for on Purpose with
Jay Shetty and listen as David Blaine reveals how he
prepares for those extreme feats that defy human expectations. There
(19:51):
so much going on in the world. I think the
United States and the United States public hasn't been paying
enough attention to what is going on in Israel. But
it start it's time to start paying attention to again
because Israel has improved plans to seize the Gaza Strip.
Let's get more on that from Jordana Miller, ABC News
(20:13):
correspondent in Jerusalem. Jordana, there's a lot going on. Why
don't you just fill us in on the latest there
really is.
Speaker 12 (20:23):
First of all, the Israeli security Cabinet, this is Natoniaw's
government has approved a very aggressive plan to essentially take
over the Gaza Strip gradually, but in almost its entirety, right,
this plan calls for taking more territory, holding more territory,
(20:46):
and it comes on the heels over the weekend of
a massive call up, a massive call up of tens
of thousands of reservists. Right, it is important to know
that the plan, that this more aggressive plan for Gaza
uh is not going to start until President Trump concludes
(21:09):
his visit here to the Middle East. Right, the President's
coming next week to Saudi Arabia, to the United Arab Emirates,
to cutter and the Israelis are going to hold tight
number one, to see if maybe there's a last window
for a chance for another seafire. Right, this very aggressive
plan is meant in some sense but pressure on Hamas
(21:33):
and threaten them right to come to the table, release
more hostages, and hopefully, you know, we can get another
four or six weeks of quiet. But the gaps between
the sides remain pretty wide, and I'm not sure this
is this threat is going to work. The other issue
is that Israel wants to wait while the President holds
very delicate talks with Iran, you know, on the Iran
(21:57):
nuclear program curbing it, and with Saudi Arabia on a
potential normalization deal between the Saudis and the Israelis. So
we won't see this plan begin while the presidents in
the region. But if there's not a breakthrough in these
Gaza ceasefire talks, we are likely to see the israelis
go in, possibly as soon as the end of the month,
(22:20):
with these more aggressive plans to take over the Gaza Strip.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I've been listening to many of the analysts in this
country talk about this, and they say Netanyahu and his
government from the very beginning wanted to go in and
just root out and destroy Hamas, and that has not
been accomplished yet, that this is what they want to do.
They want to get rid of Hamas. It's less about
(22:46):
taking over Gaza, it's more about getting rid of Hamas.
Is there truth in that?
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well?
Speaker 12 (22:53):
I think there was always a part of the defense
establishment that from October seventh, shots, you know, thought the
Israeli army should be more aggressive instead of doing a
piecemeal takeover of the Godza Strip, which began, as you'll remember,
in the north and then the center in the south.
There were some who thought Israel should go in right
away and take over the Godza strip. But I think
(23:16):
there was and I don't you know, hindsight is always
twenty twenty. There was reason to believe after October seventh
that Israel could go in piecemeal and convince him off
to give up hostages, right and it did work to
some extent. Right, We got that first hostage release, over
(23:37):
one hundred hostages out just a few months after the
war began, right fifty days. But that plan failed over
the next year, and it took President Trump coming into
office and putting his foot down to get the second seafire.
Then we got stuck after that. The question is, will
Trump come to the region and try to put pressure
(24:00):
on the mediators on Jmas, even on Israel to move
towards another deal, or has the United States and the
president you know, shifted their focus. You know, Let's focus
on getting that deal with Iran, Let's focus on expanding
the Abraham Accords, bringing the Saudis into a normalization deal.
(24:21):
Let's leave the Israelis to do whatever they think they
need to do in Gaza, and we'll support them, right.
I Mean, it's unclear if President Trump is actually really
putting his team on restarting or getting a breakthrough in
these gazas these fire talks, or if they've just decided
the gaps are too huge. Hamas is demanding a final
(24:42):
end to the war. Israel doesn't want that, you know,
because Hamas is refusing to essentially disarm, even if they'll
step back now from running the Gaza strip. They want
to become like, you know, the new Hasbala within Gaza,
which is not going to you know, not going to fly,
not for the israelis not for the Americans. So you know,
(25:02):
we're at a critical point here, and I think Israel's
basically putting a very credible military threat on the table,
saying Hamas, if you don't come too, we're gonna We're
going to take and seize more land, and land is
very important to Hamas. Right, it may, it may bring
them to their knees later.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Right, it's the only reason they exist. At least we
have some weeks to figure all of this out and
hopefully those hostages get released. But Israel also had military
strikes against the Huthi rebels in a Yemen. That's something
the United States has been doing as well. I'm sure
the Trump administration applauds those efforts, but this was more personal.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
Absolutely. I mean Israel carrying out airstrikes on the Huti
targets on the Jutis and Yemen, especially around the Hodea
port to respond to that ballistic missile that struck right
inside Israel's main Bengorian International airport. A miracle really that
(26:05):
nobody was killed, that it narrowly missed hitting the terminal
packed with travelers, that narrowly missed the runways with you know,
aircraft sitting, and some of those aircraft also filled the travelers.
You know, this was in a way, it could have
been a much more deadly incident. I do have to
tell you some breaking news. Just in literally the last
(26:26):
five minutes, we've heard the Israeli army now call for
the evacuation of Sana International Airport in Yemen, and it
appears the Israeli army is about to carry out some
intense strikes on the airport in Yemen, Sauna's capital.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Well, hopefully we can talk again tomorrow when you can
fill us in on what happens. But we'll keep paying
attention here too. Jordana Miller, always wonderful. ABC News corresponded
from Jerusalem. Thanks so much, talk soon. Talkson if you
haven't been paying your student loans, well, I guess what
the gig is up. The Trump administration is coming for you.
(27:06):
Correspondent Rory O'Neil has all the details. Next. Well, you
know we have this contest now where if you are
the talk back of the day. You get a very prestigious,
hard to find, limited edition Meantee in the Morning T
shirt and we've played the talkbacks throughout the morning. Thank
you so much for you keep bringing them in and
(27:27):
we'll keep playing them. What inspired a lot of conversation
is the Prince Harry interview where he says he wants
to reconnect with his family.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
Larry, I don't know why you have sympathy for Prince Harry.
Anybody who wants to visit their family has to put
the bill themselves, and they decided to abandon England, abandon
their title, abandon their role in the Royal family. So
these are the consequences of that. I certainly don't want
to pay for his security. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, it's the Royal family who shouldn't be paid for anything.
They should even exist. But I can feel the sympathy
for a for a son wanting to reconnect with his father,
and for to reconnect his kids with their grandfather before
he dies. I don't know, I just have a soft
spot for that.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
If Prince Harry loves the UK so much wants to
reunited Daddy dearest, why doesn't Daddy dearest One of the
richest monarchies in the world. Why doesn't Daddy Dearest and
the UK pay for security for the little princy and
his family. I don't want to pay for it. I
(28:36):
couldn't care less.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, you wouldn't have to pay for it. It was the
United Kingdom that was paying for it. That's what they
wanted to stop, and they won in court. So he
challenged it. Harry and his family challenged it. They lost,
and now he's afraid to go to England because he
says he can't because he doesn't have enough security. But
thanks so much. Thanks for your talkbacks. You can keep
(29:00):
them coming. Go to the iHeartRadio app look for seven
to ten WR and then the talkback feature. With that,
let's get to Rory O'Neill, because yesterday was d Day.
If you owned, if you have a student loaned, especially
if you went into default, you've got to repay them.
The government will be coming for you. But Rory, before
(29:20):
we get to that, did you want to leave a
talkback or say something so you could be in the
contest and win a show.
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Don't ask An O'Neil their opinion of the British monarch.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
That's a great point. That's a great point. Well, I'll
tell you what. If it really is that bad or
that insulting, you might win the T shirt. Go ahead.
Speaker 14 (29:47):
Well no, I just think that. Yeah, the Irish opinion
of the English the British monarchy is not exactly warm.
But anytime you want to see a grantson reconnect with
the dad that's going through cancer treatments, you can understand.
And as you point about Larry, you know, now Harry's
a dad and wants his kids to be a part
of this, and his grandfather's the king.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right, you're in the running. You're in the running
for the T shirt. We just got to get your
address to send it to you if you win. Let's
talk about yesterday. I heard from friends of mine that
own student loans that were trying to call about it,
that the phone lines were flooded and they couldn't get
through because so many people were calling to find out
(30:30):
where their student loan is right now, if it's in collection,
if they've defaulted on the loan, which means they haven't
been paying it. The fact they're.
Speaker 14 (30:39):
Calling in the first place, right you're in default if
you haven't paid in over two hundred and seventy days.
And I know a lot of these payments were suspended
during COVID by the Biden administration as the Biden team
tried to end or eliminate or waive a lot of
student debt. But that hasn't happened. Trump administration is saying, look,
(31:01):
if you owe, you got to pay, and now is
the time to get in good graces with your loan servicer.
Those are the people you have to reach out to.
As you've heard those eight hundred numbers have been slammed.
You know, all those notices you've been throwing away, or
all those texts and emails that you've been ignoring. It's
now time to pay the piper. Otherwise this goes to collections,
(31:22):
it hits your credit score. Ultimately, they could actually garnish
your wages, even take your tax refund.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, and it's just for those who were in default.
What about people that haven't paid for several months? They
have to catch up too. Are they willing to work
with people at this point?
Speaker 14 (31:38):
Yeah, they are. You know what we're really talking about
other default people. They're the ones two hundred and seventy
days plus. That's about five million people. By the way, Overall,
there are forty three million people who have some form
of student loan debt. But again it's that five million
in default who are now facing consequences if you're trying
to get back in the good graces of your loan service,
(31:59):
or try to do that as soon as possible. Yes,
those eight hundred numbers had been jammed up to see
what they can offer online, to see if there's a
chat sessions which tend to have shorter waiting times. But
just try to get back in the good graces. Don't
just randomly send them a check for four hundred bucks.
I hope this makes us good.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Right now, you have to work out something and talk
to them, But as I just told you, it's difficult
right now to get hold of them because apparently a
lot of people owe money and they want to try
to make some deals. Thanks so much, Rory O'Neil WLR
National Correspondent, You have all been worn. Thanks Rory, Thank Larry.
It looks like at least Aphonic is definitely running for governor,
(32:41):
at least she's talking that way. Does she have a
shot as a Republican in a democratic state? And what
would a republican governor mean? For New York City. We'll
ask former councilman Joe BURRELLI coming up. That's after the
eight o'clock news
Good morning, thanks for being here this morning. In the
Big Three, as Jacqueline just mentioned, there was a time
at the Newark International Airport last week that the screens
in front of the air traffic controllers went blank. Not
only did they go blank, but you couldn't communicate with
any of the pilots coming in either for sixty to
(00:23):
ninety seconds. That happened, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says,
of course that is something to be concerned about, but
a crash was never going to happen. Now we're planes
going to crash.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
No, they have communication devices, they can see other air
Trafficlink GPS in the airplanes. But it's a sign that
we have a frail system in place and it has
to be fixed.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, it has to be fixed. He's going to be
holding a news conference at Newark this week, and we're
learning also that it may be months, not days before
where flights can get back on schedule at Newark's Liberty
International Airport. In the meantime, jury selection continues today in
the p Diddy sexual assault and trafficking trial, and the
(01:12):
defense has already signaled their strategy.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
They're going to say and alleged that these victims were
in a consensual sexual relationship.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
And that these were not acts that they were not
in agreement with.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
How about Attorney General Letitia James, who was facing possible
federal charges for mortgage fraud, which is rich is now
leading a lawsuit with other Democratic ags across the country,
all democratic ags in democratic courts to stop Donald Trump's agenda.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
The justices have said, including liberal justices like Justice Kagan,
that this is truly insane and this is just the
latest such a lawsuit to retot try to limit what
this president can do.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He's right, I can't wait till this gets the Supreme Court.
Maybe they'll put an end to this. And Donald Trump
is serious about reopening the world famous San Francisco prison Alcatraz.
So when could the infamous prison reopen?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
I think pretty darn quick. He's already ordered the FBI,
the Bureau of Prisons, and the Department of Homeland Security
to get to work on this. Nice going to involve
the National Park Service, but I think Secretary Bergham will
be ready to move out swiftly on this.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And today the newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney,
will be at the White House to meet with President
Donald Trump. That should be a tense meeting, you know,
since President Trump said he wants to make Canada the
fifty first state and hit them with high tariffs. Let's
get the latest from John Decker, wr White House and
(02:49):
Washington Correspondent. Good morning, John, Hey, good morning Larry.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
I hope you're doing well today. It's going to be
an interesting meeting. I'll be in the Oval Office when
the President meets with the new prime minister from Canada.
The President has said some kind things about Mark Carney.
I think Mark Carney owes his election to Donald Trump because,
as you know, it seemed as if the Conservatives were
headed for a clear victory when you had Prime Minister
(03:15):
Trudeau competing, and then when he dropped out of the race,
everything went the Liberals way. And that's the reason why
Mark Carney today is the Prime Minister of Canada.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You know, it would be good for both of them
politically if they could come out of the meetings today
with some type of agreement. I think it would be
too much to hope for a tariff deal, but some
type of agreement. Don't you believe that that's what they're
on both of their minds. Going into this meeting.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Yeah, but I don't know what that agreement looks like.
You know, tariffs have really created friction between both countries.
You know, I have good feelings about Canadians, but I
don't think Canadians have good feelings about US right now.
Just to remember a few weeks back when there was
that USA Canada hockey match and the anthem of the
United States was booed by Canadians when that hockey game
(04:09):
was being played in Montreal. And you know that there
are some Canadians canceled vacations here in the US. They
are boycotting American products. So obviously there needs to be
some work in terms of making this a better relationship.
After all, Canada and the US, they are trading partners,
and it's our largest trading partner actually by dollar volume,
(04:32):
and it's important to have that relationship and a good
place going forward. And it wasn't a good place, you know,
in the president's first term with the US MCA trade
Agreement being signed, the US Mexico Canada Trade Agreement being signed,
But that essentially is in the past, and the presidents
focused on his tariff's policy right now.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, I can tell you firsthand about the Canadians canceling
their trips, because I have a lot of friends that
own property and own businesses up and down the Jersey Shore,
which is a popular place for Canadians to go, which
I didn't know until they told me, and they're worried
about it because a lot of people have not been
able to renew some rentals over the weekend who were
(05:14):
in the past done by Canadians. So there is a
real economic impact when it comes to vacationing by Canadians. However, John,
you've been covering this a long time. A lot of
these world leaders talk one way on the national stage,
and then when they get together they talk another way completely.
(05:37):
I guess the great hope is that that happens today.
Have they been signaling what they might talk about and
how they might act before this meeting.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Well, the President leading up to this meeting has said
kind things about the new Canadian Prime Minister, mister Carneia,
and that's a positive thing, as opposed to the relationship
that the President had with Justin Trudeau, in which you
referred to him as Governor Trudeau, you know, alluding to
the idea of Canada as a fifty first day, So
you start off in a better position, right there, Larry.
(06:10):
That's good. And I would imagine it's going to be
I don't know for a fact, you never know what's
the president with President Donald Trump, but I would imagine
it's going to be niceties in the Oval Office today
when President Trump meets with the Canadian Prime minister.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, we can all hope. But it's funny every time
taraff seems to come up, everybody says, yeah, but what
about China. Well, you know that's the big one, that's
the white elephant, and what about China? So I'm asking you,
what about China? What is happening with China right now?
As far as we know from the White.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
House, Well, it's you know, we're getting one message sometimes
from the White House, we're getting another message from the
state run Chinese press, in which the state run Chinese
press say that there are no talks going on, no
trade talks going on in the US and China, although China,
(07:02):
through that state run media, has indicated they are open
to having those types of trade talks. After all, one
hundred and forty five percent tariffs, that's the tariff rate
placed upon Chinese goods that is really sky high, and
I think that that's not a good thing for the
Chinese economy. It's not a good thing for the US
(07:23):
economy either, you know. And I think that that's the
reason why both sides really need to talk this out
and get that tariff rate. Maybe it's not going to
ever get down to zero, but bring it down significantly
from the place where it is right now, one hundred
and twenty five percent tariffs by the way, on American
goods heading into China, so China has reciprocated with teriffs
(07:43):
of their own.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I thought it was a good sign. Yesterday I heard
the news conference in the you know, when he made
the big announcement about the NFL draft coming to coming
to Washington. He did talk about China, and he said
at one point, of course I'm going to reduce tariffs.
Of course I'm going to reduce tariffs from China, but
they have to reduce theirs. That's the first time I
(08:05):
heard him talk like that where he wasn't talking tough
about China. This is absolutely a negotiation in his mind.
That's what that signaled to me. How about you, Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
You know, I think that the President recognizes that that's
a really high tariff rate. But the only way it
comes down is if the president feels as if there's
something that China is giving President Trump, something that he's
that they're you know, essentially trying to provide to the US.
(08:37):
In terms of getting to a place where President Trump
feels he's made some progress as it relates to trede
talks with China, we're not there just yet, you know,
Scott Bessant, he's the Treasury secretary. He's not having meetings
with his counterpartner, or is the US trade representative having
meetings with his counterpart That's where the start of trade
(09:00):
talks begins, and right now they're not at that place
right now.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You're a constitutional attorney. Letitia James has just announced that
she is leading another lawsuit that's going to federal district
court against the Trump administration. Even Justice Kagan came out
and said, it's insanity that they can stop policy in
district courts. Will they eventually deal with this?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Well, when you say deal with this, so if you're
referring to whether a federal district court judge can issue
a temporary restraining order that covers the whole country, that
is something that Congress is looking into in terms of
legislation to curtail that kind of power that a federal
district court has, federal district court judge has in terms
(09:49):
of issuing these tros that impact the entire United States.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, that's exactly what I was talking about. And that
was a great answer. Thanks so much. John Decker, W R.
White House and Washing Correspondent, Thanks again, John, Thanks Larry Prince.
Harry wants to reconnect with the Royal Family. That's what
he said in an emotional interview on the BBC. We'll
let you hear some of it next. Plus we have
(10:15):
tickets to see the Doobie Brothers, who are touring again
this year with Michael McDonald at a twenty five. Well,
I will tell you and if you used to watch
my commentaries at all, either at the station in New
Jersey or WPIX, or even heard me on the air
here talk about the Royal Family, I could care less
about the Royal Family. I really have never been interested
(10:38):
in them. They are one of the most evil lineages
in the history of the world that tried to take
over the world several times. There are a bunch of inbreds.
I could go on and on. But I will tell
you this, I was just a little bit moved by
Prince Harry and his big interview on the BBC. It
wasn't a big interview here. It captivated the UK. Everybody
(11:03):
watched this interview because the BBC got him right after
he lost a lawsuit against the US government who was
cutting off all of his security. And what he said
in the interview is that he can't now travel back
to England to see the rest of his family, or
(11:24):
to do anything, or to go to the charities that
he loves.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
I can't see a world in which I would be
bringing my wife and children back to the UK at
this point. And the things that they the things that
they're going to miss is well everything.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
I love my country. I always have done despite what
some people in that country have done.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So you know I miss I missed the UK and
you have. You have to feel sorry for him, even
though I could really care less about the royal family.
They are some entitled inbreads that make a lot of
money and they don't do anything. But other than that,
he's a human being with his children and grandchildren who
want to see the rest of their family. And now
(12:09):
he's saying, because they don't have security, they can't even
travel back to England.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
I guess unless they pay for it themselves, which probably
would be a ridiculous amount of money.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I think they still get the money, but they have
to pay then for their own security right be paid for. Yeah,
and that may not be enough, at least he doesn't
think so. But the part that really got me is
is his father has been sick, and his father is
getting old, and his father, may you know, it's probably
going to die at least in the next decade, and
(12:40):
he wants to reconnect with them. And so I think
anybody can feel for that, a father and a son,
and a father wanting to be close, a son wanting
to be close to his father, especially as he nears
the end. And so this is the moment talking about
reconciliation with the rest of his father family that is
(13:01):
getting headlines across the United Kingdom.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
I would love reconciliation with my family. I've always you know,
there's no point in continuing to fight anymore, and I said,
life is precious. I don't know how much longer my
father has.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
There's a guy named Ropert Johnson who every time the
Royals come into the news, you're going to see him.
He's all over the television and the BBC in England,
ABC uses them. He's all over every time anything that
happens with the Royal family is in the news. And
he says this interview played extremely well for Harry in
(13:37):
England and extremely poorly for the Royal family.
Speaker 10 (13:41):
The interview with Harry wasn't great for the Royal family
because exposed to visions are still ongoing, exposed that the
King hasn't even been talking to his son at this stage,
and how much Harry is hurting in terms of the
fact that he is worried about his father.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So this is captivating England right now.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Well because this is an issue that people can relate to.
How many people who have family drama. I mean, we
can't relate to castles and you know, royal jewels and
things like that, but we can relate to a you know,
spat between you and your dad that has caused you
not to speak with him for a few years. It
happens all the time, and everybody understands that feeling.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It's terrible.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Nobody wants their family to be divided, and God forbid,
somebody pass away before you make up with each other.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah. No, absolutely, I agree with everything you said. Even
though they are a despicable family who sucks money away
from the British people and has in their lineage that
killed people throughout history, you can still feel for a
father wanting to reconnect with his son and his son
wanting to reconnect with his father. Can you can feel
(14:53):
for both? So you're right. It makes it a human story.
Even for me. It makes it, It makes it goes
beyond my feelings about the Royal family. I can feel
for a human being who wants to reconnect with his
father and wants his grandchildren to reconnect with their grandfather. Yeah,
I get it. I understand that. How about a talk back,
(15:15):
mister Larry. My mom just went to the bathroom and
left her phone here on the bed.
Speaker 11 (15:20):
She was listening to you. But she likes Natalie and
Burnie the most.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
Hey, Emily, put that phone down.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well they lose, there's no way they can. That was clever, But.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
No or an inviter.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
She's thest traffic. She is the best. She is the
best or close to the best.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
She is the best business. We are lucky to have her.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Okay, let's Get at seven thirty with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Good Morning. President Trump is set to meet with Canada's
Prime Minister Mark Karney at the White House today.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Trump says he's not sure what Carney wants.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
To talk about, but told reporters yesterday he thinks Carney
wants to make a deal involving tariffs. The high stakes
meeting comes in the midst of a trade war between
the two countries, and New York City is expanding its
e bike charging infrastructure to support growing ridership.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I will do ride my bisy.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The Department of Transportation plans to electric five thirteen city
bike charging stations in existing locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn
this spring. DOT Commissionery Adonis Rodriguez says grid connected stations
will allow City Bike to charge e bikes while docked,
rather than sending its staffers to manually swap out batteries. DOT,
(16:49):
in cooperation with Lyft, says it needs to meet rising demand,
which surpassed twenty nine million e bike trips last year.
Sarah Lee Kessler wor new and how.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
Would you like a lab grown t Rex leather handbag?
What I thought t rexes were going extinct. According to
Odity Central, three companies have teamed up to make the
world's first t rex leather handbag using lab grown material.
This t rex leather is cruelty free, eco friendly, and
mimics the strength and feel of real leather. The handbag,
(17:23):
set to launch later this year, will be a luxury
item with the high price tag. Would you buy one?
Natalie and Larry? Would you buy one for your wife?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Don No?
Speaker 9 (17:35):
I wouldn't say no right now, especially if it's pricey.
I know, and I're you talking about pracy. His pricey
bags can get are insane?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
They don't say, but I have to say, like, I
don't get why they think they can charge so much
for them. The three companies, I'm not gonna name them.
I have them right in front of me, but they
are not companies I would ever buy a handbag from.
They're just not. And they use this collagen protein from
eighty million years ago, eighty million year old t rex
(18:08):
fossils as a guide. But it's not actually growing t
rex leather skin. It's just this. It's just a bit
of a gimmick. It's a gimmick and I'm thinking, come on,
first of all, you have your names, no one would
recognize them. And there are certain companies that I like
their handbags. I wouldn't buy other companies handbags. And this
(18:30):
seems stupid.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Well, it just needs one influencer to start using this bag, right.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, But I'll tell you what. The fact that they're
using DNA and they're using samples from t Rex years ago,
that's what scares me the most. Has anybody seen Jurassic Park?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I know, life finds away. Your handbag could just suddenly
multiply with other handbags, and god knows what could happen.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
This won't end well when it starts with handbags. It
ends with us all being eating really in our mentee
the morning t shirts no less, No, they'll protect you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Okay, see another reason why you need one?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Exactly they ward off dinosaurs things, Thanks Jacqueline. Things have
intensified in the word between Israel and Hamas and now
Benjamin nettan Yahoo says he wants to take all of Gaza.
Will go live to Jerusalem and get the latest from
Jordana Miller. Next. Also, world renowned illusionist, endurance artist and
(19:29):
master of the impossible, David Blaine sits down for a
deep and insightful conversation that goes far beyond magic. Open
the free iHeartRadio app and search for on Purpose with
Jay Shetty and listen as David Blaine reveals how he
prepares for those extreme feats that defy human expectations. There
(19:51):
so much going on in the world. I think the
United States and the United States public hasn't been paying
enough attention to what is going on in Israel. But
it start it's time to start paying attention to again
because Israel has improved plans to seize the Gaza Strip.
Let's get more on that from Jordana Miller, ABC News
(20:13):
correspondent in Jerusalem. Jordana, there's a lot going on. Why
don't you just fill us in on the latest there
really is.
Speaker 12 (20:23):
First of all, the Israeli security Cabinet, this is Natoniaw's
government has approved a very aggressive plan to essentially take
over the Gaza Strip gradually, but in almost its entirety, right,
this plan calls for taking more territory, holding more territory,
(20:46):
and it comes on the heels over the weekend of
a massive call up, a massive call up of tens
of thousands of reservists. Right, it is important to know
that the plan, that this more aggressive plan for Gaza
uh is not going to start until President Trump concludes
(21:09):
his visit here to the Middle East. Right, the President's
coming next week to Saudi Arabia, to the United Arab Emirates,
to cutter and the Israelis are going to hold tight
number one, to see if maybe there's a last window
for a chance for another seafire. Right, this very aggressive
plan is meant in some sense but pressure on Hamas
(21:33):
and threaten them right to come to the table, release
more hostages, and hopefully, you know, we can get another
four or six weeks of quiet. But the gaps between
the sides remain pretty wide, and I'm not sure this
is this threat is going to work. The other issue
is that Israel wants to wait while the President holds
very delicate talks with Iran, you know, on the Iran
(21:57):
nuclear program curbing it, and with Saudi Arabia on a
potential normalization deal between the Saudis and the Israelis. So
we won't see this plan begin while the presidents in
the region. But if there's not a breakthrough in these
Gaza ceasefire talks, we are likely to see the israelis
go in, possibly as soon as the end of the month,
(22:20):
with these more aggressive plans to take over the Gaza Strip.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I've been listening to many of the analysts in this
country talk about this, and they say Netanyahu and his
government from the very beginning wanted to go in and
just root out and destroy Hamas, and that has not
been accomplished yet, that this is what they want to do.
They want to get rid of Hamas. It's less about
(22:46):
taking over Gaza, it's more about getting rid of Hamas.
Is there truth in that?
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Well?
Speaker 12 (22:53):
I think there was always a part of the defense
establishment that from October seventh, shots, you know, thought the
Israeli army should be more aggressive instead of doing a
piecemeal takeover of the Godza Strip, which began, as you'll remember,
in the north and then the center in the south.
There were some who thought Israel should go in right
away and take over the Godza strip. But I think
(23:16):
there was and I don't you know, hindsight is always
twenty twenty. There was reason to believe after October seventh
that Israel could go in piecemeal and convince him off
to give up hostages, right and it did work to
some extent. Right, We got that first hostage release, over
(23:37):
one hundred hostages out just a few months after the
war began, right fifty days. But that plan failed over
the next year, and it took President Trump coming into
office and putting his foot down to get the second seafire.
Then we got stuck after that. The question is, will
Trump come to the region and try to put pressure
(24:00):
on the mediators on Jmas, even on Israel to move
towards another deal, or has the United States and the
president you know, shifted their focus. You know, Let's focus
on getting that deal with Iran, Let's focus on expanding
the Abraham Accords, bringing the Saudis into a normalization deal.
(24:21):
Let's leave the Israelis to do whatever they think they
need to do in Gaza, and we'll support them, right.
I Mean, it's unclear if President Trump is actually really
putting his team on restarting or getting a breakthrough in
these gazas these fire talks, or if they've just decided
the gaps are too huge. Hamas is demanding a final
(24:42):
end to the war. Israel doesn't want that, you know,
because Hamas is refusing to essentially disarm, even if they'll
step back now from running the Gaza strip. They want
to become like, you know, the new Hasbala within Gaza,
which is not going to you know, not going to fly,
not for the israelis not for the Americans. So you know,
(25:02):
we're at a critical point here, and I think Israel's
basically putting a very credible military threat on the table,
saying Hamas, if you don't come too, we're gonna We're
going to take and seize more land, and land is
very important to Hamas. Right, it may, it may bring
them to their knees later.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Right, it's the only reason they exist. At least we
have some weeks to figure all of this out and
hopefully those hostages get released. But Israel also had military
strikes against the Huthi rebels in a Yemen. That's something
the United States has been doing as well. I'm sure
the Trump administration applauds those efforts, but this was more personal.
Speaker 12 (25:44):
Absolutely. I mean Israel carrying out airstrikes on the Huti
targets on the Jutis and Yemen, especially around the Hodea
port to respond to that ballistic missile that struck right
inside Israel's main Bengorian International airport. A miracle really that
(26:05):
nobody was killed, that it narrowly missed hitting the terminal
packed with travelers, that narrowly missed the runways with you know,
aircraft sitting, and some of those aircraft also filled the travelers.
You know, this was in a way, it could have
been a much more deadly incident. I do have to
tell you some breaking news. Just in literally the last
(26:26):
five minutes, we've heard the Israeli army now call for
the evacuation of Sana International Airport in Yemen, and it
appears the Israeli army is about to carry out some
intense strikes on the airport in Yemen, Sauna's capital.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Well, hopefully we can talk again tomorrow when you can
fill us in on what happens. But we'll keep paying
attention here too. Jordana Miller, always wonderful. ABC News corresponded
from Jerusalem. Thanks so much, talk soon. Talkson if you
haven't been paying your student loans, well, I guess what
the gig is up. The Trump administration is coming for you.
(27:06):
Correspondent Rory O'Neil has all the details. Next. Well, you
know we have this contest now where if you are
the talk back of the day. You get a very prestigious,
hard to find, limited edition Meantee in the Morning T
shirt and we've played the talkbacks throughout the morning. Thank
you so much for you keep bringing them in and
(27:27):
we'll keep playing them. What inspired a lot of conversation
is the Prince Harry interview where he says he wants
to reconnect with his family.
Speaker 13 (27:36):
Larry, I don't know why you have sympathy for Prince Harry.
Anybody who wants to visit their family has to put
the bill themselves, and they decided to abandon England, abandon
their title, abandon their role in the Royal family. So
these are the consequences of that. I certainly don't want
to pay for his security. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, it's the Royal family who shouldn't be paid for anything.
They should even exist. But I can feel the sympathy
for a for a son wanting to reconnect with his father,
and for to reconnect his kids with their grandfather before
he dies. I don't know, I just have a soft
spot for that.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
If Prince Harry loves the UK so much wants to
reunited Daddy dearest, why doesn't Daddy dearest One of the
richest monarchies in the world. Why doesn't Daddy Dearest and
the UK pay for security for the little princy and
his family. I don't want to pay for it. I
(28:36):
couldn't care less.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, you wouldn't have to pay for it. It was the
United Kingdom that was paying for it. That's what they
wanted to stop, and they won in court. So he
challenged it. Harry and his family challenged it. They lost,
and now he's afraid to go to England because he
says he can't because he doesn't have enough security. But
thanks so much. Thanks for your talkbacks. You can keep
(29:00):
them coming. Go to the iHeartRadio app look for seven
to ten WR and then the talkback feature. With that,
let's get to Rory O'Neill, because yesterday was d Day.
If you owned, if you have a student loaned, especially
if you went into default, you've got to repay them.
The government will be coming for you. But Rory, before
(29:20):
we get to that, did you want to leave a
talkback or say something so you could be in the
contest and win a show.
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Don't ask An O'Neil their opinion of the British monarch.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
That's a great point. That's a great point. Well, I'll
tell you what. If it really is that bad or
that insulting, you might win the T shirt. Go ahead.
Speaker 14 (29:47):
Well no, I just think that. Yeah, the Irish opinion
of the English the British monarchy is not exactly warm.
But anytime you want to see a grantson reconnect with
the dad that's going through cancer treatments, you can understand.
And as you point about Larry, you know, now Harry's
a dad and wants his kids to be a part
of this, and his grandfather's the king.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right, you're in the running. You're in the running
for the T shirt. We just got to get your
address to send it to you if you win. Let's
talk about yesterday. I heard from friends of mine that
own student loans that were trying to call about it,
that the phone lines were flooded and they couldn't get
through because so many people were calling to find out
(30:30):
where their student loan is right now, if it's in collection,
if they've defaulted on the loan, which means they haven't
been paying it. The fact they're.
Speaker 14 (30:39):
Calling in the first place, right you're in default if
you haven't paid in over two hundred and seventy days.
And I know a lot of these payments were suspended
during COVID by the Biden administration as the Biden team
tried to end or eliminate or waive a lot of
student debt. But that hasn't happened. Trump administration is saying, look,
(31:01):
if you owe, you got to pay, and now is
the time to get in good graces with your loan servicer.
Those are the people you have to reach out to.
As you've heard those eight hundred numbers have been slammed.
You know, all those notices you've been throwing away, or
all those texts and emails that you've been ignoring. It's
now time to pay the piper. Otherwise this goes to collections,
(31:22):
it hits your credit score. Ultimately, they could actually garnish
your wages, even take your tax refund.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, and it's just for those who were in default.
What about people that haven't paid for several months? They
have to catch up too. Are they willing to work
with people at this point?
Speaker 14 (31:38):
Yeah, they are. You know what we're really talking about
other default people. They're the ones two hundred and seventy
days plus. That's about five million people. By the way, Overall,
there are forty three million people who have some form
of student loan debt. But again it's that five million
in default who are now facing consequences if you're trying
to get back in the good graces of your loan service,
(31:59):
or try to do that as soon as possible. Yes,
those eight hundred numbers had been jammed up to see
what they can offer online, to see if there's a
chat sessions which tend to have shorter waiting times. But
just try to get back in the good graces. Don't
just randomly send them a check for four hundred bucks.
I hope this makes us good.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Right now, you have to work out something and talk
to them, But as I just told you, it's difficult
right now to get hold of them because apparently a
lot of people owe money and they want to try
to make some deals. Thanks so much, Rory O'Neil WLR
National Correspondent, You have all been worn. Thanks Rory, Thank Larry.
It looks like at least Aphonic is definitely running for governor,
(32:41):
at least she's talking that way. Does she have a
shot as a Republican in a democratic state? And what
would a republican governor mean? For New York City. We'll
ask former councilman Joe BURRELLI coming up. That's after the
eight o'clock news

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
