Speaker 1 (00:00):
And Happy Thursday to you. Thanks for spending part of
the day with us. A lot going on today in
the Big Three. We may be just hours away by
for a strike by Jersey Transit engineers. At one minute
after midnight tonight, Jersey Transit trains may shut down due
(00:23):
to a strike by those engineers. What kind of effect
do you think that's going to have on Jersey train
riders three hundred and fifty thousand of them.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Huge, because all I see are the indicators that it's
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't see any indicators that there's any talking.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, you're very concerned about so as I group in
Jersey City, I don't have a license or a TAR
so I have to take the train. Without the train,
I won't be able to commute to work.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I'm at the university, so I have students that I
have to meet.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
There is some hope talks continue with the National Mediation
Board in Washington, d C. Today, So keep your fingers crossed.
Day two of the p did He trial. Yesterday, an
ex girlfriend Cassie was back on the stand for the prosecution. Today,
the defense gets it shot at Cassie and analyst Joey
Jackson gives us a preview of what you might hear.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
What I want to focus on, ladies and gentlemen is
the issue of a ten year relationship. And there came
a point in year two where he brought up to you,
that is, Sean Collins, if we want to do this,
we want to be a little freaky. We want to
get other people involved.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
You had an opportunity to say no, did you. You
had an opportunity to walk away in year three?
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Did you?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Year four?
Speaker 8 (01:35):
Year five?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
You continued with it is that right.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Zelinsky will be in Turkey today to negotiate peace. But
it looks like President Putin may be a no show.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
I actually said, why would he go if I'm not going?
Because I wasn't going to go. I wasn't planning to
I would go, but I wasn't planning to go. And
I said, I don't think he's going to go if
I don't go. And that's turned out to be right.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Trump made those comments on the way to cutter where
he keeps historically making deals for America in the Middle East,
but the ultimate deal would be with Iran.
Speaker 9 (02:08):
It's very simple. It's not like I have to give
you thirty pages worth of details. There's only one sentence.
They can't have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Trump is rallying support from neighbors of Iran, places like
Cutter to apply pressure for that deal on Iran directly,
because they can have direct talks sometimes we cannot. And
with that, let's get to doctor Arthur Caplan, professor of
bioethics at New York University Langne Medical Center. And you know,
(02:37):
I was looking very carefully yesterday during the JFK testimony
or the RFK excuse me, a junior testimony in front
of Congress, because there was a lot of protesters, and
I was looking doctor Caplan to see if you were
going to be there. And I did see one of
the co founders of Ben and Jerry's who was escorted
(02:58):
away by police, but you were missing.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Well, let me add that I think it's a tragedy
to exclude Ben and Jerry's leadership from the hearing. I
eat it pretty good, pretty good. I wasn't there, but
I was certainly there in spirit. And he didn't have
much to say that would make me jump up and
down with enthusiasm. You know, one of his comments yesterday, Larry,
(03:26):
was when he was getting pressed about his when he
vaccinated kids. He wound up saying I wouldn't take medical
advice from me, And we now have finally reached a
point of agreement.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
There you go.
Speaker 10 (03:38):
And I.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Think he was saying, I'm not a doctor, and we
know that. You know, as the leading public health official,
he gives advice on health steps all the time. That's
his role. He's got to do it. So it was
amusing to hear him finally admit that he probably isn't
somebody who want to listen to. Actually, by the way,
(04:01):
let me add one other thing. He's making his poor
little grandkids swiming a sewer. Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
No, he's not swimming a sewer.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
He went swimming in Rockville Creek over the weekend the
past weekend, which is the sewer outlet for Washington, DC.
And I don't know what he was doing in there,
and he brought his grandkids. It's an E Coli thing
that's been on the no swim list. I don't know
forty years by the City of Washington what. I don't
(04:33):
know what he was thinking what he was doing in there,
but I think the brain worm got him on that one.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I think I've gone swimming in worse. I think what
the point was he was making. I think the point
that he was making, by the way, was that he
is in charge of policy. He's not a doctor, and
he's not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Protecting I agree, but you know, when you're the nation's
JJ just said, you're going to be giving advice to groups,
not to people, but to groups of people.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So come on, But he's gonna be setting policy, gives
let's see your splitting hairs on this one a little bit.
He's gonna be giving policy. I don't think he's giving
medical advice. That's your job. People who stop weight loss drugs,
will you know? Weight loss drugs are huge right now.
I know so many people who are either taking the
(05:20):
injection or the oral weight loss drug. But this is
a great question. What happens when they stop?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Do they? By the way, let me just get myself
in trouble with all the neighbors. I'm up in Richfield, Connecticut,
so I'm near places like dari Anne, du Canaan, Westport,
those places. I don't think there's a woman in any
of those towns who's not on these drugs. I mean nobody.
They're all taking them preventively just to lose a few pounds.
(05:51):
You know, this isn't just the people who have struggled
with obesity or diabetes. This is like it's become the
drug of choice. If you can afford it, you find
the doctor and they prescribe it. So you're right, it
is everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I love the people who deny taking it. That's the
ones I get a kick out of. You know, they
come back a month later and they have lost thirty
five pounds and walking. Yeah exactly, I'm just eating better.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Well, the study came out yesterday kind of depressing. People
who go off those drugs have all the weight they
lost put back on within a year. Oh wow. So
two points about that one. This clearly is a drug,
(06:40):
at least the injectable form that is now available, that
we're gonna have to pay for forever. I mean, it's
a big hit on the budget. I once did a
little calculation in my head. If only twenty percent of
people who are obese or overweight went on the drug,
it would cost per year almost something like quarter of
(07:03):
a trillion dollars. At one thousand dollars a shot per week,
excuse me, per month, plus a doctor's visit. It's like
fifteen grand a year. You got to spend that. That's
not you know, it's not gonna work. Other comment, you
got to build lifestyle change into the use of this thing.
You can't just keep eating you know, fatty foods and
(07:24):
all the bad stuff and say, well, I'm on the injectable,
I'm not going to get fat. You do that, you're
never going to change. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now that's really disheartening because I would love to get
my hands on one of those drugs. But I would
think then your advice would be, and you know, maybe
we shouldn't take metical advice from you or a take
but your advice, I think would be, if you're going
to take this drug, you got to change your habits
after you.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Lose exactly exactly. It isn't just what you should do
is use it as a way to jumpstart weight loss. Great,
but then you got to work to change eating and
exercise habits. If you don't do that, you're stuck taking
this stuff forever. And as I keep saying, not cheap.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, what is this story about dozens of Long Island
doctors not being disciplined after months of misconduct? What was
the misconduct and who didn't discipline them.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Yeah, Newsday did a good investigative report. Really the worst offenders,
doctors convicted, child molestation, medicaid fraud, just terrible stuff. And
the stance of the New York State Licensing Board was,
we're gonna keep you in practice. We're gonna try and
use remediation, not loss of your ability to practice. We're
(08:44):
not gonna pull you license. That system is too weak,
Larry it lets. It gives the doctor the benefit of
the doubt too much. I get the idea, you don't
want to ruin a career. I get the idea. Doctors
spend a fortune to get trained. You're convicted of child molestation.
You know how long I think you should have your license?
(09:04):
About a minute?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, I completely agree with you. That's horrible. Thank you
so much, doctor, I appreciate your time. Doctor Arthur Kaplan, Yeah, absolutely,
professor of bioethics at New York University Land Going Medical Center. Well,
it's coming down to the wire right now. We've had
some tremendous talkbacks. Get in on the competition to win
(09:29):
a mentee in the morning t shirt. It's highly sought after.
You'll be the envy of your neighbors, your talkbacks when
we come back in a moment. Ah, you know, we
have the contest to beat All contest and that is
for a huge prize, a Mentee in the Morning t shirt,
which is highly sought after. The only thing you have
(09:51):
to do to win it is become talkback of the
morning and it is a fierce competition every day, especially today.
Just go online seven war on the iHeartRadio app and
you click the microphone once you're at seven to ten
wor in the talkback section and then you're on the air.
And is deep dish pizza a pizza is still the
(10:16):
topic of the day.
Speaker 11 (10:18):
Good morning Larry, Natalie. My name is Rich from Andover,
New Jersey. To deal with Chicago style deep dish pizza,
it's like a chicken pop pie. Really, I mean you
could only have one slice. It's it's like it's too much,
and it's it's not like pizza like our East Coast
pizza to traditional pizza parlor pizza.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, but a chicken pot pie is still a pie
because it has you know, the top, and it has
the crust and all of that stuff. A deep dish
pizza is not a pizza ed from New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
How about the pizza debate.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
My sister in law believes pizza is just dough and sauce.
My wife defines pizza as extra thin sauce and extra cheese.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
So this guy, if he's going to stay out of.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
It, probably the smart decision.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
If your wife's in an argument, always just take her
side and you'll live a nice, long and happy life.
Jake Tapper's new book is also getting your attention.
Speaker 12 (11:29):
Good morning, Larry, and congratulations to Natalie and her family.
That's an amazing compliment for an order. It's great. Uh listen, Chris,
wake up, start talking a little bit here. I just
heard that Jake Tapper is going to write a book
about the conspiracy theory against Deep Dish pizza. Yeah, it's
go be a New York Times bestseller. You guys, have
(11:50):
a great day, have a fun, fun filled day, and
stay safe.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
We might have a winner. It's probably the leader in
the clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Absolutely to choose.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
By the way, Yeah, I know, maybe I shouldn't because
he's telling me to wake up. I mean, I've been better.
He sent that a little bit.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Ag.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I feel like I've been better since we had an
initial talk about it.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But yeah, you just talk now. More than you've talked
all morning. Probably that's more words than you've said all morning. See,
he got to you, he got under your skin a
little bit, a little bit, and now we got to
call doctor Kaplan was just saying, well, not as much
as he normally does, but saying some negative things against
RFK Junior. And we got to talk back about that.
Speaker 13 (12:28):
You know what, Larry, I gotta tell you, I think
this mister Kennedy's done a lot more for us and
the health of our kids than a lot of health
secretaries have done for a long time.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, and he's just getting started. Some of the things
he's done have been wonderful. I think a lot of
the negativity is about things he has said in the past.
So we'll see what he keeps doing. So far, he's
been a pretty good health secretary. I don't know if
you heard this story that's been out there for a
little bit, but I just heard it for the first time,
(13:03):
so I'm thinking many of you have haven't heard it either.
It is at the in the baseball game. It was
the opening day for the Oakland Athletics, which will soon
be the Las Vegas whatever they're going to be, and
somebody flew a drone onto the field, pretty low onto
the field, and the fans were kind of stunned by it.
(13:24):
Nobody knew exactly what to do about it, and a
teenage boy who was the bat boy decided to take
matters into his own hand because he said, well, I
saw nobody else was doing anything. I thought maybe I'm
supposed to handle this, so I'll give you the quote
by him. His name Stuart Thalblum. Everybody was just looking
(13:47):
it for a little while, and I I've never had
something like that happen. I was asking around, is anybody
going to do anything about this? And nobody knew. Nobody
took responsibilities, so I was like, okay, maybe it's mine.
And he grabbed a bat. As a bat boy, he
has access to bats. He grabbed a bat and he
(14:07):
beat the hell out of thing. He just knocked it
out of the sky and he got a standing ovation
uproarious applause. Now you might want to follow up and
that and say, well, what did the owner? The owner
must have been upset about having this drone. I don't
have that information, but I'm on team Thalbum. I think
(14:31):
it was wonderful, and so did everybody at Oakland Stadium.
And if the kid got sued or if they went
after him, I'm sure there'd be a fundraiser that would
raise plenty of money, because he's a hero in my book,
and he's a hero in a lot of people's books.
You don't fly a drone into a middle of a
game that that low. There has to be laws against that,
(14:53):
doesn't there. Now, let's get the nine to thirty News
with Jacqueline Carl Jacquelin.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Good morning. President trum ump is now in the United
Arab Emirates for the next stop on his tour through
the Middle East. Trump will tour a famous mosque before
having dinner at the Presidential Palace this evening. The president
arrived after visiting Saudi Arabia and cutter where he announced
business deals and agreements potentially worth more than a trillion dollars.
And in New Jersey, transit engineer strike is hours away
(15:21):
and would bring trains to a halt for hundreds of
thousands of daily commuters at midnight.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
The head of the union representing engineers, Tom Has says
they are still trying to get a deal that involves
higher wages.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
We are committed to staying at the table. New Jersey
Transit seems committed to staying at the table.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Should a strike happen. NJ Transit is providing extra buses
at a number of places, including Secaucus Junction and P
and C Bank Guards Center. Also, private bus companies would
help as well, but NJ Transit President Chris colorI is
warning customers that extra buses will only accommodate about twenty
percent of train riders.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Work from home is still an option for many. Is
something that we hope that they take it to consideration.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
I'm Scaffpringle wr News.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
All right, so this is an interesting story. According to
the NX Herald, on Easter Sunday, drive through workers at
in Auckland, New Zealand, McDonald's were thrilled to see Brad
Pitt pick up an order I'd be two. In addition
to grabbing his tasty meal, Pitt took the time to
shoot a video with a young fan. To celebrate that
celebrity visit, McDonald's and New Zealand decided to give away
(16:26):
one free quarter pound or to anyone named Brad. Those
hoping to claim their burger bonus had to register through
McDonald's app by May twelfth, and they have until Sunday
to claim it. How about that.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I thought Chris's reaction was perfect. Chris got all excited,
like you're going to go to Auckland. He got all excited.
Then when he heard the catch that you had to
be named, Brady went up.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I heard three quarter pounder, and I just had everything
else went went out.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Of my head.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's a clever way to let everybody know Brad Pitt
went to their McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It is, And I'm just shocked. I guess I shouldn't be,
because I love quarter pounders. I haven't had one forever.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
With cheese number three meal with fries.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
There you go, there you go. You're a lady that
knows you've had a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
A couple it's been a long time because they're so
good going down. But then it feels like he just
drank some cement. In my opinion, in my humble.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Opinion, I like them. I'd like them a lot. I
haven't had one in a long time. You know, it's
a shame. It's really a shame because McDonald's used to
be a real treat and they got so much bad
publicity over the years, and you know, my kids still
get excited about McDonald kids love it.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What do you think, Chris, You do you go a lot?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
No?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Not?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I mean I want to go a lot, but I
just don't go because you know, I'm trying to be healthier.
But say that I have the app on my phone
and it's always it's always talking dirty.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
To me too, that it's talking dirty exactly. Don't answer.
You can discuss this later.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
We'll head over to Wall Street at the opening bell.
All right, So the Dow opened down one hundred and
seventy two points, SNP opened down seventeen points, and Nasdaq
opened down ninety seven points.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Thank you so much, Jack Lencarl. Well, guess what. Samsung
has just unveiled its thinnest phone yet, and wo r's
own rich on Tech was able to get his hands
on one and test it out. We'll tell you what
he thinks next. Now, one of mine and your a
favorite guest, rich DeMuro rich on tech has heard Sunday
(18:37):
nights from eight to eleven pm on wo R. You
can also ask him questions directly. This is pretty cool
at rich on tech on Instagram. Rich thanks a lot
for being here.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
You're always so kind. Thank you, Larry, well.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
It's absolutely true. Let's talk about this new Samsung Galaxy Edge,
which is slim. You got a chance to try this,
what did you think?
Speaker 14 (19:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
I actually have it in my hands right now. It
is the thinnest and lightest phone I think I've ever used,
almost to a detriment because it feels fake. But this
is kind of the new war we're going to see
between Apple and Samsung. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S
twenty five Edge. It's going to be available on May thirtieth,
and then Apple, of course, later this year is expected
(19:23):
to release their thin iPhone, nicknamed the iPhone Air. This
is really thin. It's got a great camera, it's got
all the features that you need, and it starts at
eleven hundred dollars from Samsung. And in my initial testing,
it's a great option if someone wants something that's not
as sort of big and thick as Samsung's top of
(19:44):
the line phone, which is called the Ultra.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You know, I want a bigger phone, not a thinner phone,
because I misplace and lose my phone all the time.
Half my day is looking for my phone, and I'm
hoping that some family members nearby so they can do
fine my iPhone so it'll go off. A thinner phone
I think would be a problem.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
You know, it's interesting the thinner phone. The drawbacks are
really Yeah, you might misplace it, but I think the
battery life is definitely something that we're going to be
looking at and testing. And also the durability of this
phone because it is so thin. Well, Larry, I think
a simple solution for you is do what me and
my wife do, which is the Apple Watch pings our
phone whenever we can't find it, and that's pretty much
(20:26):
like the number one use of our Apple Watches at
this point.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You know, I'm late on getting an Apple Watch, and
I know everybody's been telling me to get one. And
the reason I haven't got one, I'll tell you is
when you're having a conversation with somebody and they keep
looking down at their wrist and at first I didn't
know what they were doing. I thought, what are you
disinterested in me? But they're getting either emails or some
(20:49):
notification on their phone that they feel like they have
to look at during conversation.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Do you do that?
Speaker 14 (20:55):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I was just in a situation the other day where
this was happening. I was in a meeting and I
kept getting notifications on my watch, and I did not
want to look down because I didn't want the person
to think I was tuning them out. But at the
same time, when you're getting blown up like that, you
want to see if it's a family emergency or something.
So anyway, yes, that definitely happens. And I think it's
more of a something that people just do out of
(21:18):
habit than anything, but yes, there could be a reason
for it too.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, and now it's in your head even if you're
thinking that, oh my god, what am I missing? I
should look down, I should look down. You're not listening
at that point, you might.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
As well look down, right, So true, I just just say, like,
excuse me for one moment, I'm getting blown up here.
Let me take a look at my watch. But it's
funny because if you looked at a traditional watch during
a meeting, well, I guess people would think like, oh,
are you bored to me?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Like what exact time or what.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
That's the way I always feel. That's the only reason
I didn't get one, because I know, just like you,
I would not be able to resist. But I gotta
I have to join the modern world. Eventually I'll end
up getting one. This is really fascinating to me, this
story Airbnb expanding beyond rentals. What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Yeah, so Airbnb has done really well with rentals. Obviously
we know them as a place to get a room
or a condo or a house wherever you want in
the world. But that's not good enough for them. They
want to now better compete with hotels and all the
services that they offer. So now inside the Airbnb app,
you can book things like personal chefs, people to come
give you a massage, trainers to come to your Airbnb,
(22:25):
a makeup artist, a hair person, and this works even
if you're not staying in a rental. So they're doing
not only services, but also experiences. So instead of getting
on that kind of tired double decker bus that you
take a tour of different cities, and they're saying these
these experiences that they're offering are much more local and authentic.
(22:45):
And so the idea is that this is sort of
a one stop shop for not only getting your rental,
but also making your vacation or whatever you're doing in
that rental much more memorable through booking all of these
services nice and easily.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Oh, that's pretty cool, really smart on their part. We
just did this story yesterday about the Serie class action
settlement and that they may be receiving our information and
not just giving us information. How do you know if
you may or may not be a victim.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Of this, Well, pretty much, they are sending out emails,
and from what I've seen, the emails continue to go
out because I got the first email last week, and
I just got another one yesterday for my personal account.
So if you haven't gotten one yet, there's still hope
that you might get one. But this is the Lopez
Voice Assistant settlement. And basically this couple said that Siri
(23:38):
was unintentionally activating, which, yes, that is done on That's
happened on everyone's iPhone if you've ever had an iPhone.
But they want to step further and said, not only
did it record their personal conversations, but then Apple shared
those conversations with a third party and they sold advertising
against it. Now, I think those last two things, Larry,
I don't really believe, and I don't think Apple agree
(24:00):
to those either. They said, sirius very private, but the
bottom line is you can collect one hundred dollars if
you get one of these emails, and on my Instagram
at Richon Tech, I did post the email address. It
is info at Lopez Voice Assistant sttlement dot com. If
you search your inbox for that, you can check to
see if you have this email.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And I assume giving the one hundred hours is so
that more people don't take part in the lawsuit or
is this the settlement in the lawsuit.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
This is the settlement in the class action, which obviously
still needs to be finally approved. I guess on August first,
the court might approve it. But again, you know, if
you do take this one hundred dollars, you're giving up
your right to sue Apple in a bigger way. I'm
not a lawyer, but you know in general my kids
that yesterday he saw this and he goes, oh, I'll
take the one hundred dollars. Every little dollar counts.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I guess so, right, because you're taking a chance if
you don't take it, and you want a bigger settlement,
just don't be greedy. Take one hundred dollars. You know, well,
it's face and you can explain to me why this
might be a big deal. But on its face, Max
on the streaming systems. Going back to HBO Max doesn't
seem like a big deal.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
I think it's to me, I think this is the
return to what it always should have been. So when
HBO Max launched in twenty twenty, it was called HBO Max.
Then they merged with Discovery in twenty twenty three, and
of course, you know when you get all those suits
together in a room, they all want something. So they said, hey,
we want this to be Max because we've got Food
Network and all these other channels on there. Now, okay, fine,
(25:32):
we'll drop HBO. And then of course people go, wait
a second, where's HBO. I don't know anything about Max,
and so now it's going back to HBO Max, which,
like you said, not that big of a deal. But
I think in general people think of HBO as very
high quality content, and I think that's a very smart
move for Max to embrace that. Even though there's way
(25:52):
more stuff on Max or HBO Max than just HBO shows,
I still think it's a good thing to have HBO
in the name. That's the brand name there.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
God it makes sense. Rich DeMuro rich on Tech has
heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven PM on wr
and you can reach them on rich on Tech on Instagram.
Thanks so much, Rich, good talking to you.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Thanks Larry, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
When we come back, I'll have my final thoughts, a
recap of today's show, and we'll announce a winner for
Talkback of the Morning on.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
Minty in the Morning on War.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Here's Larry and some final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well yesterday and my final thoughts. I praised Donald Trump
for meeting with the new president of Syria, for lifting
sanctions with the country, for establishing a relationship. In welcoming Syria,
he pulls them from the stranglehold of terrorism and especially Iraq.
But I undersold him. He's making the same offer to
(26:48):
Lebanon and the people of Gaza, and even the mothership
of terrorism, Iran. He made the offer to Iran that
if it stops its nuclear weapons program, they will be
welcomed back into the Community of Nations. Sanctions will be removed,
trade will be re established, and Iran will prosper like
(27:09):
never before. Donald Trump is trying to change the Middle
East and welcome unfavored nations outcasts into the world community.
He's stretching out a hand of friendship. This is a
move that could change the world. And so far Syria
and Lebanon has responded by reaching their hands back. But again,
(27:31):
the mothership is Iran. Donald Trump, as I said, has
offered an olive branch. If they voluntarily give up their
nuclear weapons program, He's going to lift sanctions and invite
them back into the world. Or else, well, you know
what else is Trump is like the incredible Hulk. You're
not going to like him when he's angry. But here
is the amazing part of this story. Other countries, including
(27:55):
Iranian allies, are now pressuring Iran to take the deal,
and if that happens, Donald Trump will further isolate China
and Russia, who have been trying to make inroads in
the region. Donald Trump is changing the world. If all
this happens, it's an absolute miracle. And then will the
(28:18):
mainstream media run by the Democratic Party give him credit
for this? Well, we can only expect one miracle at
a time. Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes economist Steve
Moore and actor Steve Sharipa. Plus listen for the keyword
after the ten o'clock news. Then you can head over
(28:38):
to seven ten wr dot com for your chance at
one thousand dollars now. A recap of today's show, ABC
News investigative reporter Peter Haralambus explains how the evidence shown
on day two of the Sean Diddycombs trial goes along
with the Casey Ventura testimony.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
If the jury did and it was photos taken from
videos of these alleged freak golfs, they're not only that
proof that these sex parties happened, but also kind of
evidence that Cassie testified about this idea, that Colme's threatened
to release those videos if she ever betrayed him, and
that she was concerned about the reputational harm of having
such embarrassing, vile videos.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
WR National correspondent Rory O'Neil talked about some of the
roadblocks that Congress is hitting while trying to pass Donald
Trump's Big Beautiful bill.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
The other big stumbling block is the salt deduction, especially
popular with New Yorkers deducting those state and local taxes
from your federal income tax. There are Republicans who are
trying to get a big number here so that that
deduction can return, But boy, it's really got division among
Republicans who cannot afford to be divided.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Political commentator Laura Kerran believes that, despite his character flaws,
New York City mayoral voters will lean towards Andrew Cuomo
because they are do you know him?
Speaker 15 (30:01):
People who vote want their problems solved by the government,
and they're going to vote for the person they think
are going to solve it. And so, what are the
problems in New York City right now? There's infrastructure problems,
which is obviously he's very good at fixing and has
experience doing. I think a lot of people might, you know,
maybe he's not going to be my best friend, but
(30:21):
I think he can. He can do what he needs
to do to help the city.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
The topic of the day was on the talkbacks was,
without a doubt, deep dish pizza. That's what everybody wanted
to talk about. But one listener managed to sum many
of the day's stories all in one with today's winner
of talkback of the morning.
Speaker 12 (30:43):
Good morning, Larry, and congratulations to Natalie and her family.
That's an amazing compliment for a daughter. It's great. Listen, Chris,
wake up, start talk a little bit. And here I
just heard that Jake Tapper is going to write a
book about the conspiracy theory against this pizza. Yeah, it's
gonna be a New York Times bestseller. You guys, have
(31:04):
a great day, have a fun, fun filled day, and
stay safe.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
That was wonderful and yes, congratulations to Natalie and her
daughter Nicole, who is graduating today. Don't forget to check
out our podcast and catch up on things you missed.
You can find individual podcast of all of our interviews.
Just go to seven ten WR dot com click the
podcast tab. It's that easy Tomorrow rob Astarino, Rick Kline
(31:31):
and the Beach Boy tickets. It's ten o'clock
And Happy Thursday to you. Thanks for spending part of
the day with us. A lot going on today in
the Big Three. We may be just hours away by
for a strike by Jersey Transit engineers. At one minute
after midnight tonight, Jersey Transit trains may shut down due
(00:23):
to a strike by those engineers. What kind of effect
do you think that's going to have on Jersey train
riders three hundred and fifty thousand of them.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Huge, because all I see are the indicators that it's
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't see any indicators that there's any talking.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, you're very concerned about so as I group in
Jersey City, I don't have a license or a TAR
so I have to take the train. Without the train,
I won't be able to commute to work.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I'm at the university, so I have students that I
have to meet.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
There is some hope talks continue with the National Mediation
Board in Washington, d C. Today, So keep your fingers crossed.
Day two of the p did He trial. Yesterday, an
ex girlfriend Cassie was back on the stand for the prosecution. Today,
the defense gets it shot at Cassie and analyst Joey
Jackson gives us a preview of what you might hear.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
What I want to focus on, ladies and gentlemen is
the issue of a ten year relationship. And there came
a point in year two where he brought up to you,
that is, Sean Collins, if we want to do this,
we want to be a little freaky. We want to
get other people involved.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
You had an opportunity to say no, did you. You
had an opportunity to walk away in year three?
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Did you?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Year four?
Speaker 8 (01:35):
Year five?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
You continued with it is that right.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Zelinsky will be in Turkey today to negotiate peace. But
it looks like President Putin may be a no show.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
I actually said, why would he go if I'm not going?
Because I wasn't going to go. I wasn't planning to
I would go, but I wasn't planning to go. And
I said, I don't think he's going to go if
I don't go. And that's turned out to be right.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Trump made those comments on the way to cutter where
he keeps historically making deals for America in the Middle East,
but the ultimate deal would be with Iran.
Speaker 9 (02:08):
It's very simple. It's not like I have to give
you thirty pages worth of details. There's only one sentence.
They can't have a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Trump is rallying support from neighbors of Iran, places like
Cutter to apply pressure for that deal on Iran directly,
because they can have direct talks sometimes we cannot. And
with that, let's get to doctor Arthur Caplan, professor of
bioethics at New York University Langne Medical Center. And you know,
(02:37):
I was looking very carefully yesterday during the JFK testimony
or the RFK excuse me, a junior testimony in front
of Congress, because there was a lot of protesters, and
I was looking doctor Caplan to see if you were
going to be there. And I did see one of
the co founders of Ben and Jerry's who was escorted
(02:58):
away by police, but you were missing.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Well, let me add that I think it's a tragedy
to exclude Ben and Jerry's leadership from the hearing. I
eat it pretty good, pretty good. I wasn't there, but
I was certainly there in spirit. And he didn't have
much to say that would make me jump up and
down with enthusiasm. You know, one of his comments yesterday, Larry,
(03:26):
was when he was getting pressed about his when he
vaccinated kids. He wound up saying I wouldn't take medical
advice from me, And we now have finally reached a
point of agreement.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
There you go.
Speaker 10 (03:38):
And I.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Think he was saying, I'm not a doctor, and we
know that. You know, as the leading public health official,
he gives advice on health steps all the time. That's
his role. He's got to do it. So it was
amusing to hear him finally admit that he probably isn't
somebody who want to listen to. Actually, by the way,
(04:01):
let me add one other thing. He's making his poor
little grandkids swiming a sewer. Did you see that?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
No, he's not swimming a sewer.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
He went swimming in Rockville Creek over the weekend the
past weekend, which is the sewer outlet for Washington, DC.
And I don't know what he was doing in there,
and he brought his grandkids. It's an E Coli thing
that's been on the no swim list. I don't know
forty years by the City of Washington what. I don't
(04:33):
know what he was thinking what he was doing in there,
but I think the brain worm got him on that one.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I think I've gone swimming in worse. I think what
the point was he was making. I think the point
that he was making, by the way, was that he
is in charge of policy. He's not a doctor, and
he's not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Protecting I agree, but you know, when you're the nation's
JJ just said, you're going to be giving advice to groups,
not to people, but to groups of people.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
So come on, But he's gonna be setting policy, gives
let's see your splitting hairs on this one a little bit.
He's gonna be giving policy. I don't think he's giving
medical advice. That's your job. People who stop weight loss drugs,
will you know? Weight loss drugs are huge right now.
I know so many people who are either taking the
(05:20):
injection or the oral weight loss drug. But this is
a great question. What happens when they stop?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Do they? By the way, let me just get myself
in trouble with all the neighbors. I'm up in Richfield, Connecticut,
so I'm near places like dari Anne, du Canaan, Westport,
those places. I don't think there's a woman in any
of those towns who's not on these drugs. I mean nobody.
They're all taking them preventively just to lose a few pounds.
(05:51):
You know, this isn't just the people who have struggled
with obesity or diabetes. This is like it's become the
drug of choice. If you can afford it, you find
the doctor and they prescribe it. So you're right, it
is everywhere.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I love the people who deny taking it. That's the
ones I get a kick out of. You know, they
come back a month later and they have lost thirty
five pounds and walking. Yeah exactly, I'm just eating better.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Well, the study came out yesterday kind of depressing. People
who go off those drugs have all the weight they
lost put back on within a year. Oh wow. So
two points about that one. This clearly is a drug,
(06:40):
at least the injectable form that is now available, that
we're gonna have to pay for forever. I mean, it's
a big hit on the budget. I once did a
little calculation in my head. If only twenty percent of
people who are obese or overweight went on the drug,
it would cost per year almost something like quarter of
(07:03):
a trillion dollars. At one thousand dollars a shot per week,
excuse me, per month, plus a doctor's visit. It's like
fifteen grand a year. You got to spend that. That's
not you know, it's not gonna work. Other comment, you
got to build lifestyle change into the use of this thing.
You can't just keep eating you know, fatty foods and
(07:24):
all the bad stuff and say, well, I'm on the injectable,
I'm not going to get fat. You do that, you're
never going to change. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now that's really disheartening because I would love to get
my hands on one of those drugs. But I would
think then your advice would be, and you know, maybe
we shouldn't take metical advice from you or a take
but your advice, I think would be, if you're going
to take this drug, you got to change your habits
after you.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
Lose exactly exactly. It isn't just what you should do
is use it as a way to jumpstart weight loss. Great,
but then you got to work to change eating and
exercise habits. If you don't do that, you're stuck taking
this stuff forever. And as I keep saying, not cheap.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, what is this story about dozens of Long Island
doctors not being disciplined after months of misconduct? What was
the misconduct and who didn't discipline them.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Yeah, Newsday did a good investigative report. Really the worst offenders,
doctors convicted, child molestation, medicaid fraud, just terrible stuff. And
the stance of the New York State Licensing Board was,
we're gonna keep you in practice. We're gonna try and
use remediation, not loss of your ability to practice. We're
(08:44):
not gonna pull you license. That system is too weak,
Larry it lets. It gives the doctor the benefit of
the doubt too much. I get the idea, you don't
want to ruin a career. I get the idea. Doctors
spend a fortune to get trained. You're convicted of child molestation.
You know how long I think you should have your license?
(09:04):
About a minute?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, I completely agree with you. That's horrible. Thank you
so much, doctor, I appreciate your time. Doctor Arthur Kaplan, Yeah, absolutely,
professor of bioethics at New York University Land Going Medical Center. Well,
it's coming down to the wire right now. We've had
some tremendous talkbacks. Get in on the competition to win
(09:29):
a mentee in the morning t shirt. It's highly sought after.
You'll be the envy of your neighbors, your talkbacks when
we come back in a moment. Ah, you know, we
have the contest to beat All contest and that is
for a huge prize, a Mentee in the Morning t shirt,
which is highly sought after. The only thing you have
(09:51):
to do to win it is become talkback of the
morning and it is a fierce competition every day, especially today.
Just go online seven war on the iHeartRadio app and
you click the microphone once you're at seven to ten
wor in the talkback section and then you're on the air.
And is deep dish pizza a pizza is still the
(10:16):
topic of the day.
Speaker 11 (10:18):
Good morning Larry, Natalie. My name is Rich from Andover,
New Jersey. To deal with Chicago style deep dish pizza,
it's like a chicken pop pie. Really, I mean you
could only have one slice. It's it's like it's too much,
and it's it's not like pizza like our East Coast
pizza to traditional pizza parlor pizza.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, but a chicken pot pie is still a pie
because it has you know, the top, and it has
the crust and all of that stuff. A deep dish
pizza is not a pizza ed from New Jersey.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
How about the pizza debate.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
My sister in law believes pizza is just dough and sauce.
My wife defines pizza as extra thin sauce and extra cheese.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
So this guy, if he's going to stay out of.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
It, probably the smart decision.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
If your wife's in an argument, always just take her
side and you'll live a nice, long and happy life.
Jake Tapper's new book is also getting your attention.
Speaker 12 (11:29):
Good morning, Larry, and congratulations to Natalie and her family.
That's an amazing compliment for an order. It's great. Uh listen, Chris,
wake up, start talking a little bit here. I just
heard that Jake Tapper is going to write a book
about the conspiracy theory against Deep Dish pizza. Yeah, it's
go be a New York Times bestseller. You guys, have
(11:50):
a great day, have a fun, fun filled day, and
stay safe.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
We might have a winner. It's probably the leader in
the clubhouse.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Absolutely to choose.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
By the way, Yeah, I know, maybe I shouldn't because
he's telling me to wake up. I mean, I've been better.
He sent that a little bit.
Speaker 10 (12:06):
Ag.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I feel like I've been better since we had an
initial talk about it.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
But yeah, you just talk now. More than you've talked
all morning. Probably that's more words than you've said all morning. See,
he got to you, he got under your skin a
little bit, a little bit, and now we got to
call doctor Kaplan was just saying, well, not as much
as he normally does, but saying some negative things against
RFK Junior. And we got to talk back about that.
Speaker 13 (12:28):
You know what, Larry, I gotta tell you, I think
this mister Kennedy's done a lot more for us and
the health of our kids than a lot of health
secretaries have done for a long time.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, and he's just getting started. Some of the things
he's done have been wonderful. I think a lot of
the negativity is about things he has said in the past.
So we'll see what he keeps doing. So far, he's
been a pretty good health secretary. I don't know if
you heard this story that's been out there for a
little bit, but I just heard it for the first time,
(13:03):
so I'm thinking many of you have haven't heard it either.
It is at the in the baseball game. It was
the opening day for the Oakland Athletics, which will soon
be the Las Vegas whatever they're going to be, and
somebody flew a drone onto the field, pretty low onto
the field, and the fans were kind of stunned by it.
(13:24):
Nobody knew exactly what to do about it, and a
teenage boy who was the bat boy decided to take
matters into his own hand because he said, well, I
saw nobody else was doing anything. I thought maybe I'm
supposed to handle this, so I'll give you the quote
by him. His name Stuart Thalblum. Everybody was just looking
(13:47):
it for a little while, and I I've never had
something like that happen. I was asking around, is anybody
going to do anything about this? And nobody knew. Nobody
took responsibilities, so I was like, okay, maybe it's mine.
And he grabbed a bat. As a bat boy, he
has access to bats. He grabbed a bat and he
(14:07):
beat the hell out of thing. He just knocked it
out of the sky and he got a standing ovation
uproarious applause. Now you might want to follow up and
that and say, well, what did the owner? The owner
must have been upset about having this drone. I don't
have that information, but I'm on team Thalbum. I think
(14:31):
it was wonderful, and so did everybody at Oakland Stadium.
And if the kid got sued or if they went
after him, I'm sure there'd be a fundraiser that would
raise plenty of money, because he's a hero in my book,
and he's a hero in a lot of people's books.
You don't fly a drone into a middle of a
game that that low. There has to be laws against that,
(14:53):
doesn't there. Now, let's get the nine to thirty News
with Jacqueline Carl Jacquelin.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Good morning. President trum ump is now in the United
Arab Emirates for the next stop on his tour through
the Middle East. Trump will tour a famous mosque before
having dinner at the Presidential Palace this evening. The president
arrived after visiting Saudi Arabia and cutter where he announced
business deals and agreements potentially worth more than a trillion dollars.
And in New Jersey, transit engineer strike is hours away
(15:21):
and would bring trains to a halt for hundreds of
thousands of daily commuters at midnight.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
The head of the union representing engineers, Tom Has says
they are still trying to get a deal that involves
higher wages.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
We are committed to staying at the table. New Jersey
Transit seems committed to staying at the table.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Should a strike happen. NJ Transit is providing extra buses
at a number of places, including Secaucus Junction and P
and C Bank Guards Center. Also, private bus companies would
help as well, but NJ Transit President Chris colorI is
warning customers that extra buses will only accommodate about twenty
percent of train riders.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Work from home is still an option for many. Is
something that we hope that they take it to consideration.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
I'm Scaffpringle wr News.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
All right, so this is an interesting story. According to
the NX Herald, on Easter Sunday, drive through workers at
in Auckland, New Zealand, McDonald's were thrilled to see Brad
Pitt pick up an order I'd be two. In addition
to grabbing his tasty meal, Pitt took the time to
shoot a video with a young fan. To celebrate that
celebrity visit, McDonald's and New Zealand decided to give away
(16:26):
one free quarter pound or to anyone named Brad. Those
hoping to claim their burger bonus had to register through
McDonald's app by May twelfth, and they have until Sunday
to claim it. How about that.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I thought Chris's reaction was perfect. Chris got all excited,
like you're going to go to Auckland. He got all excited.
Then when he heard the catch that you had to
be named, Brady went up.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I heard three quarter pounder, and I just had everything
else went went out.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Of my head.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's a clever way to let everybody know Brad Pitt
went to their McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It is, And I'm just shocked. I guess I shouldn't be,
because I love quarter pounders. I haven't had one forever.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
With cheese number three meal with fries.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
There you go, there you go. You're a lady that
knows you've had a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
A couple it's been a long time because they're so
good going down. But then it feels like he just
drank some cement. In my opinion, in my humble.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Opinion, I like them. I'd like them a lot. I
haven't had one in a long time. You know, it's
a shame. It's really a shame because McDonald's used to
be a real treat and they got so much bad
publicity over the years, and you know, my kids still
get excited about McDonald kids love it.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What do you think, Chris, You do you go a lot?
Speaker 9 (17:40):
No?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Not?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I mean I want to go a lot, but I
just don't go because you know, I'm trying to be healthier.
But say that I have the app on my phone
and it's always it's always talking dirty.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
To me too, that it's talking dirty exactly. Don't answer.
You can discuss this later.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
We'll head over to Wall Street at the opening bell.
All right, So the Dow opened down one hundred and
seventy two points, SNP opened down seventeen points, and Nasdaq
opened down ninety seven points.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Thank you so much, Jack Lencarl. Well, guess what. Samsung
has just unveiled its thinnest phone yet, and wo r's
own rich on Tech was able to get his hands
on one and test it out. We'll tell you what
he thinks next. Now, one of mine and your a
favorite guest, rich DeMuro rich on tech has heard Sunday
(18:37):
nights from eight to eleven pm on wo R. You
can also ask him questions directly. This is pretty cool
at rich on tech on Instagram. Rich thanks a lot
for being here.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
You're always so kind. Thank you, Larry, well.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
It's absolutely true. Let's talk about this new Samsung Galaxy Edge,
which is slim. You got a chance to try this,
what did you think?
Speaker 14 (19:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:01):
I actually have it in my hands right now. It
is the thinnest and lightest phone I think I've ever used,
almost to a detriment because it feels fake. But this
is kind of the new war we're going to see
between Apple and Samsung. Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S
twenty five Edge. It's going to be available on May thirtieth,
and then Apple, of course, later this year is expected
(19:23):
to release their thin iPhone, nicknamed the iPhone Air. This
is really thin. It's got a great camera, it's got
all the features that you need, and it starts at
eleven hundred dollars from Samsung. And in my initial testing,
it's a great option if someone wants something that's not
as sort of big and thick as Samsung's top of
(19:44):
the line phone, which is called the Ultra.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You know, I want a bigger phone, not a thinner phone,
because I misplace and lose my phone all the time.
Half my day is looking for my phone, and I'm
hoping that some family members nearby so they can do
fine my iPhone so it'll go off. A thinner phone
I think would be a problem.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
You know, it's interesting the thinner phone. The drawbacks are
really Yeah, you might misplace it, but I think the
battery life is definitely something that we're going to be
looking at and testing. And also the durability of this
phone because it is so thin. Well, Larry, I think
a simple solution for you is do what me and
my wife do, which is the Apple Watch pings our
phone whenever we can't find it, and that's pretty much
(20:26):
like the number one use of our Apple Watches at
this point.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
You know, I'm late on getting an Apple Watch, and
I know everybody's been telling me to get one. And
the reason I haven't got one, I'll tell you is
when you're having a conversation with somebody and they keep
looking down at their wrist and at first I didn't
know what they were doing. I thought, what are you
disinterested in me? But they're getting either emails or some
(20:49):
notification on their phone that they feel like they have
to look at during conversation.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Do you do that?
Speaker 14 (20:55):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I was just in a situation the other day where
this was happening. I was in a meeting and I
kept getting notifications on my watch, and I did not
want to look down because I didn't want the person
to think I was tuning them out. But at the
same time, when you're getting blown up like that, you
want to see if it's a family emergency or something.
So anyway, yes, that definitely happens. And I think it's
more of a something that people just do out of
(21:18):
habit than anything, but yes, there could be a reason
for it too.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, and now it's in your head even if you're
thinking that, oh my god, what am I missing? I
should look down, I should look down. You're not listening
at that point, you might.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
As well look down, right, So true, I just just say, like,
excuse me for one moment, I'm getting blown up here.
Let me take a look at my watch. But it's
funny because if you looked at a traditional watch during
a meeting, well, I guess people would think like, oh,
are you bored to me?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Like what exact time or what.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
That's the way I always feel. That's the only reason
I didn't get one, because I know, just like you,
I would not be able to resist. But I gotta
I have to join the modern world. Eventually I'll end
up getting one. This is really fascinating to me, this
story Airbnb expanding beyond rentals. What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Yeah, so Airbnb has done really well with rentals. Obviously
we know them as a place to get a room
or a condo or a house wherever you want in
the world. But that's not good enough for them. They
want to now better compete with hotels and all the
services that they offer. So now inside the Airbnb app,
you can book things like personal chefs, people to come
give you a massage, trainers to come to your Airbnb,
(22:25):
a makeup artist, a hair person, and this works even
if you're not staying in a rental. So they're doing
not only services, but also experiences. So instead of getting
on that kind of tired double decker bus that you
take a tour of different cities, and they're saying these
these experiences that they're offering are much more local and authentic.
(22:45):
And so the idea is that this is sort of
a one stop shop for not only getting your rental,
but also making your vacation or whatever you're doing in
that rental much more memorable through booking all of these
services nice and easily.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Oh, that's pretty cool, really smart on their part. We
just did this story yesterday about the Serie class action
settlement and that they may be receiving our information and
not just giving us information. How do you know if
you may or may not be a victim.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Of this, Well, pretty much, they are sending out emails,
and from what I've seen, the emails continue to go
out because I got the first email last week, and
I just got another one yesterday for my personal account.
So if you haven't gotten one yet, there's still hope
that you might get one. But this is the Lopez
Voice Assistant settlement. And basically this couple said that Siri
(23:38):
was unintentionally activating, which, yes, that is done on That's
happened on everyone's iPhone if you've ever had an iPhone.
But they want to step further and said, not only
did it record their personal conversations, but then Apple shared
those conversations with a third party and they sold advertising
against it. Now, I think those last two things, Larry,
I don't really believe, and I don't think Apple agree
(24:00):
to those either. They said, sirius very private, but the
bottom line is you can collect one hundred dollars if
you get one of these emails, and on my Instagram
at Richon Tech, I did post the email address. It
is info at Lopez Voice Assistant sttlement dot com. If
you search your inbox for that, you can check to
see if you have this email.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
And I assume giving the one hundred hours is so
that more people don't take part in the lawsuit or
is this the settlement in the lawsuit.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
This is the settlement in the class action, which obviously
still needs to be finally approved. I guess on August first,
the court might approve it. But again, you know, if
you do take this one hundred dollars, you're giving up
your right to sue Apple in a bigger way. I'm
not a lawyer, but you know in general my kids
that yesterday he saw this and he goes, oh, I'll
take the one hundred dollars. Every little dollar counts.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I guess so, right, because you're taking a chance if
you don't take it, and you want a bigger settlement,
just don't be greedy. Take one hundred dollars. You know, well,
it's face and you can explain to me why this
might be a big deal. But on its face, Max
on the streaming systems. Going back to HBO Max doesn't
seem like a big deal.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
I think it's to me, I think this is the
return to what it always should have been. So when
HBO Max launched in twenty twenty, it was called HBO Max.
Then they merged with Discovery in twenty twenty three, and
of course, you know when you get all those suits
together in a room, they all want something. So they said, hey,
we want this to be Max because we've got Food
Network and all these other channels on there. Now, okay, fine,
(25:32):
we'll drop HBO. And then of course people go, wait
a second, where's HBO. I don't know anything about Max,
and so now it's going back to HBO Max, which,
like you said, not that big of a deal. But
I think in general people think of HBO as very
high quality content, and I think that's a very smart
move for Max to embrace that. Even though there's way
(25:52):
more stuff on Max or HBO Max than just HBO shows,
I still think it's a good thing to have HBO
in the name. That's the brand name there.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
God it makes sense. Rich DeMuro rich on Tech has
heard Sunday nights from eight to eleven PM on wr
and you can reach them on rich on Tech on Instagram.
Thanks so much, Rich, good talking to you.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Thanks Larry, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
When we come back, I'll have my final thoughts, a
recap of today's show, and we'll announce a winner for
Talkback of the Morning on.
Speaker 10 (26:21):
Minty in the Morning on War.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Here's Larry and some final thoughts.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well yesterday and my final thoughts. I praised Donald Trump
for meeting with the new president of Syria, for lifting
sanctions with the country, for establishing a relationship. In welcoming Syria,
he pulls them from the stranglehold of terrorism and especially Iraq.
But I undersold him. He's making the same offer to
(26:48):
Lebanon and the people of Gaza, and even the mothership
of terrorism, Iran. He made the offer to Iran that
if it stops its nuclear weapons program, they will be
welcomed back into the Community of Nations. Sanctions will be removed,
trade will be re established, and Iran will prosper like
(27:09):
never before. Donald Trump is trying to change the Middle
East and welcome unfavored nations outcasts into the world community.
He's stretching out a hand of friendship. This is a
move that could change the world. And so far Syria
and Lebanon has responded by reaching their hands back. But again,
(27:31):
the mothership is Iran. Donald Trump, as I said, has
offered an olive branch. If they voluntarily give up their
nuclear weapons program, He's going to lift sanctions and invite
them back into the world. Or else, well, you know
what else is Trump is like the incredible Hulk. You're
not going to like him when he's angry. But here
is the amazing part of this story. Other countries, including
(27:55):
Iranian allies, are now pressuring Iran to take the deal,
and if that happens, Donald Trump will further isolate China
and Russia, who have been trying to make inroads in
the region. Donald Trump is changing the world. If all
this happens, it's an absolute miracle. And then will the
(28:18):
mainstream media run by the Democratic Party give him credit
for this? Well, we can only expect one miracle at
a time. Coming up next, Mark Simone welcomes economist Steve
Moore and actor Steve Sharipa. Plus listen for the keyword
after the ten o'clock news. Then you can head over
(28:38):
to seven ten wr dot com for your chance at
one thousand dollars now. A recap of today's show, ABC
News investigative reporter Peter Haralambus explains how the evidence shown
on day two of the Sean Diddycombs trial goes along
with the Casey Ventura testimony.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
If the jury did and it was photos taken from
videos of these alleged freak golfs, they're not only that
proof that these sex parties happened, but also kind of
evidence that Cassie testified about this idea, that Colme's threatened
to release those videos if she ever betrayed him, and
that she was concerned about the reputational harm of having
such embarrassing, vile videos.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
WR National correspondent Rory O'Neil talked about some of the
roadblocks that Congress is hitting while trying to pass Donald
Trump's Big Beautiful bill.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
The other big stumbling block is the salt deduction, especially
popular with New Yorkers deducting those state and local taxes
from your federal income tax. There are Republicans who are
trying to get a big number here so that that
deduction can return, But boy, it's really got division among
Republicans who cannot afford to be divided.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Political commentator Laura Kerran believes that, despite his character flaws,
New York City mayoral voters will lean towards Andrew Cuomo
because they are do you know him?
Speaker 15 (30:01):
People who vote want their problems solved by the government,
and they're going to vote for the person they think
are going to solve it. And so, what are the
problems in New York City right now? There's infrastructure problems,
which is obviously he's very good at fixing and has
experience doing. I think a lot of people might, you know,
maybe he's not going to be my best friend, but
(30:21):
I think he can. He can do what he needs
to do to help the city.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
The topic of the day was on the talkbacks was,
without a doubt, deep dish pizza. That's what everybody wanted
to talk about. But one listener managed to sum many
of the day's stories all in one with today's winner
of talkback of the morning.
Speaker 12 (30:43):
Good morning, Larry, and congratulations to Natalie and her family.
That's an amazing compliment for a daughter. It's great. Listen, Chris,
wake up, start talk a little bit. And here I
just heard that Jake Tapper is going to write a
book about the conspiracy theory against this pizza. Yeah, it's
gonna be a New York Times bestseller. You guys, have
(31:04):
a great day, have a fun, fun filled day, and
stay safe.
Speaker 1 (31:09):

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.
