Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nice to be spending a Monday morning with you. It's
seven oh five right now, seven to ten. War is
the Voice of New York. It is Monday, April fourteenth.
For those keeping track, it is twenty twenty five. In
case you think you fell asleep and woke up a
year later, it's still twenty twenty five. This is met
you in the morning. Larry is off today. I spent
a whole bunch of years as a TV news anchor
(00:20):
in New York. I was a Channel seven, Channel five,
and I fill in for a mister New York Mark
Simone from time to time, so that's where you may
have heard the name. It is good to be here
on this very special Monday morning. I say special because
it is a holiday week. Every well, let's see all
of the Christian sects all celebrating Easter basically the same
(00:42):
time this year, and of course, for our Jewish friends,
this is Passover week as well, so we're all kind
of celebrating a lot this week of very sacred, sacred
week for many many folks these days. What do I
do for a living while I work over in New Jersey.
When I'm not filling in over here, I work for
a channel call on New Jersey o NNJ dot com
and you could stream it from anywhere, but it's a
(01:04):
mostly New Jersey news channel. So I have a lot
of fun working for them. And I have a food
website called thefood Dude dot us and there are links
to lots of different recipes from around the world. I
brought in a spanakopita today for my dear friend Natalie
to try, because Natalie is the the queen of Greek cooking,
(01:24):
so not so much, I wanted to get your opinion
on the spot of copita.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It was phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, sho were your cookies? Well, thank you? I have
you know what.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I'll post a picture on Instagram because just the it
looks like a picture perfect spoty copita.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And it tasted just as good. And you've given me
tips I didn't know and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, here we'll share the one. The one that I
found was one of the things that you said is
therapeutic or that you have the kids do in the
house is every sheet of Philo though you have to
you have to brush butter melted butter on I found
each layer twenty plus twenty thirty layers, right, I found
canned GHI. Now ghee is the Indian clarified butter in
(02:12):
a spray can, much like pam, you know, but this
is ghee. So instead of staying there and melting the
butter and wiping each you know, shmering each layer with
the butter, you just sprayph like that and you got
the whole layer done. So it saves so much time
and it works the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I've saved you. I've saved you some time. I'm glad
I could help. But I have a spinic up at
the recipe at the food dude dot us if we
want to check it out there, the phone lines are open.
We'd love to hear from you. One eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten. One eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten, or use the iHeart
Radio talkback feature. Open the iHeartRadio app, go to wo
R Radio, look for the red microphone on the upper

right of the screen. Tap on that, follow the instructions
and also leave a message and make that one of
your presets. This way, when you want to hear, you
just have to press the preset. You're all set. Our
big stories this morning. Federal authority spent the weekend investigating
last Thursday's deadly crash of that sight seeing helicopter into
the Hudson River. That company now has stopped operations New
(03:15):
York Helicopter Tours they have effective immediately ceased operations in
the wake of the deadly incident. The FAA said it
will also launch a review of the tour operator's license
and safety record, and the agency says it will take
a closer look at helicopter hotspots nationwide and will host
a safety panel next Tuesday to discuss what they find.
(03:36):
You'll recall that chopper plunged into the river near Jersey City,
killing all six people on board last Thursday. Video of
the crash shows the helicopter plunging into the water moments
before the detached main rotor goes spinning right after it
and it goes right down, right down into the water.
It's still rotating. The National Transportation Safety Board said that
(03:59):
it is carefully examining the records to try to figure
out what caused the tragedy. Still no absolute evidence of
anything specific, so it's going to take some time. And
one person, by the way, that we didn't really talk about.
We talked about the Spanish family who lost their lives,
all five members, a mother, father, and three kids. We
haven't really talked about the pilot and this guy. His
(04:21):
name was Sean Keith Johnson. He was in his thirties.
He was a Navy seal, eight hundred hours of experience
as a commercial pilot. He had a good track record
and it's just sad that he They all lost their lives,
but we of course feel the tragedy of the family,
but we should also mention that that pilot lost his life,
(04:41):
so they all rest in peace and hopefully the officials
of FEDS will get down to the bottom of it.
We also had the horrible incident over the weekend Pennsylvania
Governor Josh Appier and his family. They had just finished
celebrating their passover Sat or Saturday night, they went to
bed at the governor's mansion. Some guy, according to Pennsylvania
State Plice, jumped fence and set the mansion on fire. Fortunately,
(05:04):
state troopers were able to get the governor and his
family out with that being harmed, and they have the
guy who did the alleged allegedly did this. They have
him in custody and finally, President Trump eight years ago
was the bane of existence for sports people. Eight years later,
he's a mega hero. He was at the UFC Championship
down in Miami on the weekend and he had people
(05:27):
cheering up left and right, screaming for him. Just amazing
how things change in a matter of a few years.
It is now seven to ten. Mike Kelly is an
award winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com and The Record,
and he joins US Live this morning. Good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Mike, Good morning, how are you guys.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm good. I hope you had a good weekend, sir,
and except for the holidays, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But I'm also glad to know that Natalie is the
queen of Greek cookie. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
See now you know where to go.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's an over exaggeration, but I'll take I'll take the title.
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I love Greek food. I must say I love it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And for anyone who thinks they don't like Greek food
for whatever reason, I don't know, just try it. Try it,
but make sure you go to a good restaurant.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It's one of my.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's definitely better than the food produced by my ancestors
in Ireland, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh, listen, there are some serious today. There are some
serious Irish cuisine going on. You go back today, a
big deal in Ireland. They really know.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, it's I probably just angered half your audience. Yeah,
sometimes we need to tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
God bless the Irish though they're so strong, so strong,
what they've done for New York. And and again there's
some great cooking shows. If you go online you'll find
them from Ireland. Let's talk, if we will, if we can,
Mike about the tragic incidents and incident that happened the
hell after crash last week with the debts of the
family of five and that pilot whom I just mentioned,
(07:05):
who was a Navy seal, and the response that's in
the tri State to that, well, I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think the response is, here's the problem with whatever
something like this happens. The response is always disorganized. We
don't really know what to do, in part because we
don't really know who controls the access to all of this.
Is it the FAA, is it the National Transportation Safety Board?
Is it NYPD? Who controls the access to the skies
(07:36):
over the Hudson River, over New York City, that sort
of thing. And we've run into this time after time
after time, and it usually comes to light when there's
a crash, and so once again we get, you know, people,
Chuck Schumer's out there trying to, you know, get this
particular helicopter business shut down. I don't think that's the
(07:56):
way to go, at least not right away.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
In fact, if I may, if I may, up, Chuck
Schumer was asked if he would take a helicopter tour.
Listen to what he said.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Would you take a ba to a helicopter around Manhattan?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Fine, I'd worry about safety.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
There you go. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but please
go on.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, that's okay. I understand that helicopters are a weird experience.
I've flown in some several never a private helicopter, only
military stuff, and you know, it's just an odd experience
coming off the ground like that. But nonetheless it is
a key part of our transportation system. The problem here
is I think the Hudson River and particularly the tourist helicopters,
(08:35):
because when you're taking tourists up you cannot fly at
you know, five thousand feet. You got to be down low,
and for the people who are residents of some of
the Jersey the Jersey River towns, Hoboken, Jersey City, and
some of the others, and even on the west side
of Manhattan, the noise is absolutely incredible, particularly in the
(08:56):
warmer weather.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, I mean I can.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Speak to that from personal experience. Were in visiting my
visiting my daughter.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And you know, I used to live in right near
West New York and North Bergen on the water on
River Road, and it was constant up and down, up
and down the Hudson. In fact, even I live part
time in South Florida and Fort Lauderdale on the beach,
and it's the same thing. In fact, they only fly
at about one hundred one hundred and fifty feet right
above the shoreline because the air is more stable above
(09:23):
the ocean as opposed to inland in Florida, get the convections,
the upward convections that push them up and down, so
it's smoother for them to fly up and down the coastline.
And they are really really low, to the point that
it's disturbing. I'm at about one hundred and ninety feet
I look down into the cockpit of the helicopters as
they fly by. And I always talk to myself being
(09:43):
one hundred feet or so off the water in case
there's an issue. You don't really have any time to
kind of fix things. You really go right down.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, A good point. I think there's, you know, amid
all the emotion from this accident that I think there
are several questions that need to be looked at. I
mentioned the first was who controls the skuys and and
and and and why can't ordinary people get an answer
from somebody about the question you just raised? Why do
(10:11):
they fly so low? And how do we you know,
how do we address that? The second thing, however, is maintenance.
This particular helicopter reportedly flew seven different trips before the
fatal one. Wow, and I got to wonder, you know,
seven trips in a day. That strikes me as a lot.
And and who's maintaining these helicopters, who's looking at them,
(10:33):
Who's you know, examining examining them before they go up?
Usually pilots do, But is there is there a maintenance
crew that actually takes care of these helicopters? And we
don't know that These are questions that really need to
be asked before I think, uh, you know, before we
can go on.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, we'll see what happens in the investigation just getting
underway now, hopefully we'll figure it out. And you know,
whenever there's a crash of any kind of aviation, whether
it be a plane or helicopter, we learned from it
so that we don't make the same mistake in the future.
Mike Kelly, Yeah, fingers crossed. Mike Kelly, Award winning columnists
for North Jersey dot Com on the record, Always a
(11:09):
pleasure to have you on, Mike, have a wonderful day.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Thank you can take you take care.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It is seven point sixteen. Bernie Sanders says, the largest
fighting Oligachi rally with AOC is making Trump and Musk
very nervous. All right, if he thinks so, we're gonna
talk about that when we get back. Plus we have
tickets to see the Doobie Brothers. Want to add to
the conversation, leave us a talkback, Go to seven ten
WAR on the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone when
(11:34):
you're there. Also put seven to ten WR on your
presets and a very good morning, Tia seven twenty four.
Nice to be here. Today. My goodness, Monday. That did
the weekend flybyers. It just me it just feels like
it was like Friday and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Boom, oh way Severn, like you go down the elevator
and then the next thing you know, you're back up
in the elevator and that's it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well there is for those that missed it. It was
a big rally out in California over the weekend. Senator
Bernie Sanders. Every time I say his name, I want
to talk like him. I don't know why. He said
on Saturday that his latest rally with Representative Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez from here in Queens. It was their fighting Oligarchy tour,
(12:19):
also their largest, with a stop in downtown LA before
a massive group of ralliers. And here's what they had
to say.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
The oligarchy will concede nothing. They have the wealth, they
have the power, They own Congress, they own the White House,
they own much of the media, but they don't own us.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Here's here's my question. How often in day to day
parlance do you use the term oligarchy. I don't think
I've ever used it one. I actually have a hard
time pronouncing it. I mean, you know, I guess is
it that he just doesn't want to say millionaires and
billionaires because like the rest of the party uses that
term and it sounds cliche. I think he just owns
the word oligach. It's his word well, and he's used
(13:12):
it for decades, That's the thing. He's said it over
and over and over again. And he says that the
oligarchs are getting nervous, and.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Your presence here today is making.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Donald Trump and Elon Musk very nervous.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Now, in case you think that the use of the
term oligarch is something new for Bernie Sanders, he started
using the term from the late eighties early nineties. This
is him from nineteen ninety three on.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
We are moving in the direction of oligacky.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
We will move even more rapidly in the direction of
an oligocky. This great country is evolving into an oligarchic.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
It's grazy society.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Consistency though, and you could hear the younger voice, Yes,
the younger Bernie's when he was only like ninety four.
Now that he's one hundred and thirty eight, he still
looks good.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That man has more energy than I did.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Be sure that I give it to him more than me, certainly.
And here's Bernie Sanders talking about our future and the.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Now, you can.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but
if you do that, you do it in your own peril.
We need you to stand up to fight for justice.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I think he was dancing ech Coachella.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
What I think Oachella The first thing I think of
his Senator Sanders. I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
But he has a following of very young people.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He does, absolutely In fact, I think they're probably more
young people than old people. I think so too, absolutely. Well,
in case you missed the word oligarch, let's listen again.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Oligarchy or democracy, but we cannot have both.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That was aoc of course at the rally with Bernie.
We had to give AOC her time big that she's
the New Yorker talking about oligarchs. I don't know. Look again,
oligarch's for those who say, what the hell is an
oligarchs out? Oligarchs are just like mega millionaire Elon Musk's
in Russia. Okay, that's their version for those that don't realize.
So they're super powerful people who control corporate and government,
(15:32):
et cetera. So it's a little more than just the
average millionaire billionaire in the US because they're highly connected.
So those are the oligarchs. I get what he's saying
to an extent, But at the same time, it's like,
you know, when you cry wolf long enough, it's like, eh,
so since nineteen ninety three that he's been talking about
the oligus and they're still around.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Have those kids, echochalla, they don't know?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Nineteen ninety three, nineteen ninety three, that's for old pizza.
He's got a new audience. Unreal all right at times
coming up about seven twenty nine legendary sports. Oh excuse me,
I'm jumping the gun here forgive me. It is now
time for Jacqueline Carl with the seven thirty news. I'm sorry, Jacqueline,
don't fee good morning.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Half a dozen people are dead following a small plane
crash in Columbia County, New York over the weekend.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
The small twin engine plane crashed in a field in
the town of Kopeig on Saturday, killing two surgeons, their
two children, and their two children. Significant others. Michael Groff
was a neurosurgeon flying the plane that was heading to
Columbia County Airport near Hudson, with one family member telling
The New York Times their loved ones were on the
way to a twenty fifth birthday celebration and the Passover holiday.
(16:41):
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, adding
the pilot had missed the first approach and requested another
before losing communication. Natalie mcliori WOUR News.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Meanwhile, the tour company that operated the fatal flight that
crashed into New York's Hudson River is shutting down. The
announcement came just out after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
called on the FAA to suspend the company, named New
York Helicopter Tours Operating License. All right, so we're gonna
switch gears here and tell you how law enforcement can
(17:14):
get very creative in the UK. According to MSN, in
the UK, undercover officers decided to have some fun during
their undercover sting by dressing up as Batman and Robin
Yeah it happened, while keeping their eyes one on the
suspected con artists. The officers caught on that their targets
might have been catching on to the surveillance, so instead
(17:37):
of keeping it low key, they dressed up as Batman Robin.
Westminster Bridge has a reputation, by the way, for being
a hotspot for scammers and con artists, and the costumed
officers were actually able to nab their prey. I guess
they felt, well, that's a Batman Robin people. They're harmless,
they couldn't be law enforcement, but they were. Now it worked.
(18:01):
But do you think that would fly here in New York?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, I mean, if you think about it, think about
Times Square. You know, you have the people in costume,
So how would you suspect that somebody in costume isn't
a cop.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
That that is a very good point. And that's like
a place where you know, the tourists get pickpocketed and
all that. So maybe all those people and those especially
those statues, they I'm always suspicious of those statue people
who don't move until you're about to take a picture
and they move and you realize they're a statue.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They could be good ones. Yeah, that kind of freaks
me out.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It is right, it's kind of I can't stay still,
as everyone knows, for even a second, so I could never.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Do that job. Well, we love the fact that you
don't say. We love the energy that Jack brings. No, No,
you're awesome. You are the bank.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Well, this is the truth. You know. I'm a big fan.
Thank you, Jack Wilne. Have a wonderful day. It is
now seven thirty one. Legendary sportscaster Warner Wolf joins us
next with his always entertaining three stooges and his Boo
of the week. Stay with us, and world renowned illusionists,
endurance artist and master of the impossible David Blaine sits
down for a deep, insightful conversation that goes far beyond magic.
(19:08):
Open the free iHeartRadio app and search on Purpose with
Jay Shetty and listen as David Blaine reveals how he
prepares for the extreme feats that defy human expectations. Seven
thirty two. Ken rozottowin for Larry on your Monday. Good
Monday morning to you. Seven thirty nine. We're gonna have
a decent day, sun and clouds but mild. It's going
to be sixty five degrees. Not a bad way to
(19:30):
finally welcome spring, because the last week did not feel
like spring at all, and Larry has a day off.
It's good to be sitting in the seat here in
a pleasure. Thank you Larry for letting me come in,
and thank you so much to Natalie who's been spoiling
me in my time here. So on the phone right now,
as a person whom I have admired and just idolized
(19:50):
for years, Warner Wolf, legendary sportscaster, Good morning, Warner.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
All right, thank you very much. Ken. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Good to have you. Good to have you talk.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
About talking about perseverance. My gosh. Roy McElroy finally wins
his second Masters after eleven years. Wow, in a one
hole playoff with Justin Rose. But you know what I'm
looking at, man, How times have changed up until nineteen
(20:20):
thirty five the Masters, their playoff was thirty six holes,
and then they changed it to eighteen holes until nineteen
seventy five and finally to the current sudden death playoff
as we know it. Can you imagine it was still
(20:41):
thirty six holes the game.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's still beyond yeah, Oh.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
My gosh. And you know the story. It was McElroy
when he was only fifteen, his father at odds of
five hundred to one bet six hundred and eighty three
dollars that his so would win the British Open before
the age of twenty six, and he did. He won
(21:06):
the British Open at age twenty five, and his father
won three hundred and forty two thousand dollars. Who Yeah,
that's a great story with Michailroy. Yeah, changing it now.
The Bull of the week has to go to Major
League Baseball, who continues to start the season at least
two weeks too early. Thirty nine degrees, winned and rained
(21:31):
in New York last week. The week before in Detroit
the Yanks Tigers thirty four degrees, and that was even
after they had to change it from a night game
to a day game. Thirty nine degrees in Kansas City,
thirty five in Chicago. It's like heck with the fans.
Instead of starting the season in March, wait till April fifteenth,
(21:56):
which would be tomorrow. And that's the way it was
for them in the years. Speaking of baseball, the worst
managerial job of the weekend Dodgers Dave Roberts, who took
out his starter Roki Sasaki after five innings in a
one to nothing game because of the old pitch count.
(22:18):
The Dodger's bullpen came in and gave up seventeen hits
and fifteen runs, and the Dodgers turned to a turned
a one nothing game into a sixteen to nothing loss,
the Dodgers worst shutout home loss in franchise history, and
(22:40):
that includes in Brooklyn too. All right, it's time now
for this week's three stooges. Hit it crash all right.
Stooge number one Josh Cronky, the owner's son and president
(23:01):
of the Denver Nuggets, who were just three games to
go in the regular season, with the Nuggets already clinching
the fourth spot in the West, fired their head coach,
Mike Malone and the general manager. For goodness sake, let
the guy finish the season. They won fifty games and
(23:23):
he was the only Nugget Championship winner in the twenty
two to twenty three season. Stooge number two British TV
host John Oliver, who sat on the air men who
want to live as ladies have no or little physical
(23:44):
advantage over women.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh, come on, he's gotta be kidding.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Male athletes are bigger, stronger, and faster than women. Athletes.
How come there are no women boxers fighting men boxers,
or why are there no women NFL players? And how
come the men's winning time and the marathons are always
better than the women. Years ago, Tina Aberdelova said that
(24:16):
the number one tennis ranked woman would beat the one
hundredth ranked man. And I asked Chris Everett and she said,
no way. She said, I was married to John Lloyd,
who was the three hundred and fiftieth ranked man in
the world, and he would wipe me off the court
(24:37):
every time. Quicker, stronger, and more powerful. Stear's number three
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who backed the resolution. If you
were caught speeding, you can ask for a reduction on
the ticket based upon your financial situation. Discounts include fifty
(25:02):
percent depending on your income, or up to eighty percent
if you were homeless. Now, we all feel bad for
the homeless, but if you're caught speeding, which could injure
or kill someone, you can't give an incentive for reduction.
And those are three stooges of the week.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know the other thing too, one er, I'm wondering
if you have if you're homeless, what are you doing
speeding down the car. I don't know that just that
came to mind too, but I was.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Unless you go ahead, unless you're living in the car.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Well that's unfortunately. Yes, I was going to bring up
you talking about the men and women athletes, there was
a student we just read last week about the world's
There was a pool champion a billiard's championship in England
to women, So men biological men who are trans women
(26:05):
who were competing in this tournament that would have been women,
a woman's tournament. And we looked it up and it
turns out that the difference between the best men and
the best women in billiards, it's like a hundred points
in difference, and it comes down to there were all
sorts of biological factors. So it's not prejudicial. It's just
(26:25):
reality of biological reality.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Yeah, and of course that doesn't involve strength or speed
or power, you know, Filius Hey. This day in sports
seventy years ago today, April fourteenth, nineteen fifty five, catcher
Elston Howard became the first African American player to play
for the New York Yankees, eight years after the Brooklyn
(26:51):
Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson, and six years after their other neighbors,
the New York Giants, signed thirty year old Monty Irvin.
By the way, the last major League team to sign
an African American player, the Boston Red Sox, who didn't
sign an African American player pumps the Green until nineteen
(27:15):
fifty nine. And here's the key. They gave Jackie Robinson
a one day bogus tryout in nineteen forty five and
never contacted him again. So I've always wondered how many
more pennants would the Red Sox have won in the
(27:37):
late forties and mid fifties instead of the Yankees if
they had signed Jackie Robinson.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Phony Liberals in Boston Waterwolf legendary sportscaster the man I idolized,
thank you so much for being on today, sir. Always
a pleasure, all right, thank you, Ken you're Jay, Thank you.
Seven forty seven. Now Facebook on trial? What does it
take to break up the social media plus Iran nuclear talks?
Can we diffuse the dangerous situation? We'll talk with War's
(28:07):
national correspondent Rory O'Neil coming up next. Kenbra's out on
for Larry on your Monday. Good to have you along
at seven fifty five hundred Monday morning. A little bit
of sun and clouds today, but much milder with highs
in the mid sixties. Well, mister Zuckerberg himself, Meta Man
is going to be on trial today. Facebook parent Meta
(28:28):
faces a high stakes trial in Washington. It starts today
and claims that it built an illegal social media monopoly,
the Facebook, by spending billions of dollars to acquire Instagram
and WhatsApp. And this has US antitrust enforcers seeking to
unwind all those deals. That's a big deal with us.
Right now, on the phone is Rory O'Neil, War's national correspondent,
(28:51):
Rory good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Hey, Derek Ken, good morning. I'm wearing my green jacket
right now.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yesterday you just flew up from Augusta and boy your
arms diyre sorry, I'm old, so worry. So the trial
dat is today, This is when it starts. This is
going to take a while, obviously in the courts. Do
you think that the courts have a I mean, you
think that there's a chance that this might and actually
get broken up?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Well, right, some are comparing this to the breakup of
mob Bell right, and AT and T back in the day.
But this is now a one point for a trillion
dollar enterprise at Meta, and the FTC says that accuses them.
I think they were still Facebook at the time, Facebook
of really hiding their intentions when they bought Instagram and WhatsApp,
(29:38):
and essentially they accused them of violating antitrust laws, and
now they're trying to break them up again. Now, this
suit was filed back in December of twenty twenty after
President Trump lost the election. Remember, he was upset that
Facebook had kicked him off the platform, and that's when
the FTC brought the complaint. Between the election and the
(30:00):
inauguration of President Biden. So here we are now the
case finally coming to trial. So that's why it may
be no surprise that we saw Mark Zuckerberg giving a
million dollars to the Trump Inaugural Committee, trying to cozy
up to President Trump with visits tomorrow lago, maybe trying
to get some sort of a settlement before we finally
get a verdict. Verdict in this.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Case, isn't the term sucking up?
Speaker 7 (30:22):
Well, yeah, you can say that.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I mean it's pretty obvious right here here. Zuckerberg seemed
to be as anti Trump as the came. Remember, he
was attacking Trump on the whole build the wall, build
that wall. In fact, I remember back eight years ago,
Zuckerberg ended up buying a piece of property in Washington
and he bought up nine houses around his property to
knock down the houses to build a wall around his house.
(30:48):
But he was telling us, all, we don't need a
wall on the border. I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
For our right, right. And so this is going to
be about a two month trial, so it should be
pretty interesting. It's federal court, not going to have cameras
and microphones in there. Instead, we'll get those weird sketches
that they try to turn around with the pastel's pretty quickly.
But yeah, the jury's going to be in for quite
the marathon.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Now. We had some talks over the weekend. The Trump
team held face to face nuclear talks with Iran, described
as constructive and positive. But the Trump team did say
that if there isn't a resolution reached here in terms
of eliminating any nuclear possibilities in Iran, we would go in.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
Yeah, and again that sort of throws a wet blanket
on some of the talks that Steve Witkoff has been
trying to have Again, this is the President's point person
now on the Russia Ukraine deal, on the.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Israel Hamas deal. Now, mister Witkoff is trying to get
a new nuclear deal with Iran. The US wants Iran
to stop its nuclear programs and its nuclear ambitions. At
the same time, Iran is trying to get all those
sanctions lifted. And now the talk that they had in
Oman this weekend lasted about two hours, so to call
(32:02):
them preliminary is generous. But they are going to be
back at the table next week in Rome. So maybe
this is just a baby steps on a path to
getting some sort of a deal.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I mean, ultimately it would be I'm assuming Israel would
at least start the process in the event that they
intended on going forward with their nuclear plans.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Well, right, so you know, and how broad this is,
how comprehensive any agreement would be, is also up in
the air. You remember that Europe helped to broker the
last Iran nuclear deal. President Trump said it was a
lousy deal and back the US out of it. So
now he's trying to negotiate something new. And let's see
if there's much progress being made, or if both sides
(32:45):
dragged their feet.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
W or National correspondent Rory O'Neil always good to have
you in my friend, have a great day.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Hey, thanks Ken, talk to you soon.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Thank you. It is seven point fifty nine. Ever wondered
if we've misunderstood adhd all along. Well, we're going to
talk about groundbreaking insights that challenge everything we thought we
knew about this condition with psychiatrist doctor Gail Saltz after
the eight o'clock News
Nice to be spending a Monday morning with you. It's
seven oh five right now, seven to ten. War is
the Voice of New York. It is Monday, April fourteenth.
For those keeping track, it is twenty twenty five. In
case you think you fell asleep and woke up a
year later, it's still twenty twenty five. This is met
you in the morning. Larry is off today. I spent
a whole bunch of years as a TV news anchor
(00:20):
in New York. I was a Channel seven, Channel five,
and I fill in for a mister New York Mark
Simone from time to time, so that's where you may
have heard the name. It is good to be here
on this very special Monday morning. I say special because
it is a holiday week. Every well, let's see all
of the Christian sects all celebrating Easter basically the same
(00:42):
time this year, and of course, for our Jewish friends,
this is Passover week as well, so we're all kind
of celebrating a lot this week of very sacred, sacred
week for many many folks these days. What do I
do for a living while I work over in New Jersey.
When I'm not filling in over here, I work for
a channel call on New Jersey o NNJ dot com
and you could stream it from anywhere, but it's a
(01:04):
mostly New Jersey news channel. So I have a lot
of fun working for them. And I have a food
website called thefood Dude dot us and there are links
to lots of different recipes from around the world. I
brought in a spanakopita today for my dear friend Natalie
to try, because Natalie is the the queen of Greek cooking,
(01:24):
so not so much, I wanted to get your opinion
on the spot of copita.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It was phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, sho were your cookies? Well, thank you? I have
you know what.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I'll post a picture on Instagram because just the it
looks like a picture perfect spoty copita.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And it tasted just as good. And you've given me
tips I didn't know and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Well, here we'll share the one. The one that I
found was one of the things that you said is
therapeutic or that you have the kids do in the
house is every sheet of Philo though you have to
you have to brush butter melted butter on I found
each layer twenty plus twenty thirty layers, right, I found
canned GHI. Now ghee is the Indian clarified butter in
(02:12):
a spray can, much like pam, you know, but this
is ghee. So instead of staying there and melting the
butter and wiping each you know, shmering each layer with
the butter, you just sprayph like that and you got
the whole layer done. So it saves so much time
and it works the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I've saved you. I've saved you some time. I'm glad
I could help. But I have a spinic up at
the recipe at the food dude dot us if we
want to check it out there, the phone lines are open.
We'd love to hear from you. One eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten. One eight hundred three
to two one zero seven ten, or use the iHeart
Radio talkback feature. Open the iHeartRadio app, go to wo
R Radio, look for the red microphone on the upper
(02:52):
right of the screen. Tap on that, follow the instructions
and also leave a message and make that one of
your presets. This way, when you want to hear, you
just have to press the preset. You're all set. Our
big stories this morning. Federal authority spent the weekend investigating
last Thursday's deadly crash of that sight seeing helicopter into
the Hudson River. That company now has stopped operations New
(03:15):
York Helicopter Tours they have effective immediately ceased operations in
the wake of the deadly incident. The FAA said it
will also launch a review of the tour operator's license
and safety record, and the agency says it will take
a closer look at helicopter hotspots nationwide and will host
a safety panel next Tuesday to discuss what they find.
(03:36):
You'll recall that chopper plunged into the river near Jersey City,
killing all six people on board last Thursday. Video of
the crash shows the helicopter plunging into the water moments
before the detached main rotor goes spinning right after it
and it goes right down, right down into the water.
It's still rotating. The National Transportation Safety Board said that
(03:59):
it is carefully examining the records to try to figure
out what caused the tragedy. Still no absolute evidence of
anything specific, so it's going to take some time. And
one person, by the way, that we didn't really talk about.
We talked about the Spanish family who lost their lives,
all five members, a mother, father, and three kids. We
haven't really talked about the pilot and this guy. His
(04:21):
name was Sean Keith Johnson. He was in his thirties.
He was a Navy seal, eight hundred hours of experience
as a commercial pilot. He had a good track record
and it's just sad that he They all lost their lives,
but we of course feel the tragedy of the family,
but we should also mention that that pilot lost his life,
(04:41):
so they all rest in peace and hopefully the officials
of FEDS will get down to the bottom of it.
We also had the horrible incident over the weekend Pennsylvania
Governor Josh Appier and his family. They had just finished
celebrating their passover Sat or Saturday night, they went to
bed at the governor's mansion. Some guy, according to Pennsylvania
State Plice, jumped fence and set the mansion on fire. Fortunately,
(05:04):
state troopers were able to get the governor and his
family out with that being harmed, and they have the
guy who did the alleged allegedly did this. They have
him in custody and finally, President Trump eight years ago
was the bane of existence for sports people. Eight years later,
he's a mega hero. He was at the UFC Championship
down in Miami on the weekend and he had people
(05:27):
cheering up left and right, screaming for him. Just amazing
how things change in a matter of a few years.
It is now seven to ten. Mike Kelly is an
award winning columnist for North Jersey dot Com and The Record,
and he joins US Live this morning. Good morning to you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Mike, Good morning, how are you guys.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm good. I hope you had a good weekend, sir,
and except for the holidays, yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
But I'm also glad to know that Natalie is the
queen of Greek cookie. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
See now you know where to go.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's an over exaggeration, but I'll take I'll take the title.
It's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I love Greek food. I must say I love it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And for anyone who thinks they don't like Greek food
for whatever reason, I don't know, just try it. Try it,
but make sure you go to a good restaurant.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It's one of my.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's definitely better than the food produced by my ancestors
in Ireland, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh, listen, there are some serious today. There are some
serious Irish cuisine going on. You go back today, a
big deal in Ireland. They really know.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, it's I probably just angered half your audience. Yeah,
sometimes we need to tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
God bless the Irish though they're so strong, so strong,
what they've done for New York. And and again there's
some great cooking shows. If you go online you'll find
them from Ireland. Let's talk, if we will, if we can,
Mike about the tragic incidents and incident that happened the
hell after crash last week with the debts of the
family of five and that pilot whom I just mentioned,
(07:05):
who was a Navy seal, and the response that's in
the tri State to that, well, I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think the response is, here's the problem with whatever
something like this happens. The response is always disorganized. We
don't really know what to do, in part because we
don't really know who controls the access to all of this.
Is it the FAA, is it the National Transportation Safety Board?
Is it NYPD? Who controls the access to the skies
(07:36):
over the Hudson River, over New York City, that sort
of thing. And we've run into this time after time
after time, and it usually comes to light when there's
a crash, and so once again we get, you know, people,
Chuck Schumer's out there trying to, you know, get this
particular helicopter business shut down. I don't think that's the
(07:56):
way to go, at least not right away.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
In fact, if I may, if I may, up, Chuck
Schumer was asked if he would take a helicopter tour.
Listen to what he said.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Would you take a ba to a helicopter around Manhattan?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Fine, I'd worry about safety.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
There you go. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but please
go on.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Well, that's okay. I understand that helicopters are a weird experience.
I've flown in some several never a private helicopter, only
military stuff, and you know, it's just an odd experience
coming off the ground like that. But nonetheless it is
a key part of our transportation system. The problem here
is I think the Hudson River and particularly the tourist helicopters,
(08:35):
because when you're taking tourists up you cannot fly at
you know, five thousand feet. You got to be down low,
and for the people who are residents of some of
the Jersey the Jersey River towns, Hoboken, Jersey City, and
some of the others, and even on the west side
of Manhattan, the noise is absolutely incredible, particularly in the
(08:56):
warmer weather.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, I mean I can.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Speak to that from personal experience. Were in visiting my
visiting my daughter.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And you know, I used to live in right near
West New York and North Bergen on the water on
River Road, and it was constant up and down, up
and down the Hudson. In fact, even I live part
time in South Florida and Fort Lauderdale on the beach,
and it's the same thing. In fact, they only fly
at about one hundred one hundred and fifty feet right
above the shoreline because the air is more stable above
(09:23):
the ocean as opposed to inland in Florida, get the convections,
the upward convections that push them up and down, so
it's smoother for them to fly up and down the coastline.
And they are really really low, to the point that
it's disturbing. I'm at about one hundred and ninety feet
I look down into the cockpit of the helicopters as
they fly by. And I always talk to myself being
(09:43):
one hundred feet or so off the water in case
there's an issue. You don't really have any time to
kind of fix things. You really go right down.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, A good point. I think there's, you know, amid
all the emotion from this accident that I think there
are several questions that need to be looked at. I
mentioned the first was who controls the skuys and and
and and and why can't ordinary people get an answer
from somebody about the question you just raised? Why do
(10:11):
they fly so low? And how do we you know,
how do we address that? The second thing, however, is maintenance.
This particular helicopter reportedly flew seven different trips before the
fatal one. Wow, and I got to wonder, you know,
seven trips in a day. That strikes me as a lot.
And and who's maintaining these helicopters, who's looking at them,
(10:33):
Who's you know, examining examining them before they go up?
Usually pilots do, But is there is there a maintenance
crew that actually takes care of these helicopters? And we
don't know that These are questions that really need to
be asked before I think, uh, you know, before we
can go on.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, we'll see what happens in the investigation just getting
underway now, hopefully we'll figure it out. And you know,
whenever there's a crash of any kind of aviation, whether
it be a plane or helicopter, we learned from it
so that we don't make the same mistake in the future.
Mike Kelly, Yeah, fingers crossed. Mike Kelly, Award winning columnists
for North Jersey dot Com on the record, Always a
(11:09):
pleasure to have you on, Mike, have a wonderful day.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Thank you can take you take care.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It is seven point sixteen. Bernie Sanders says, the largest
fighting Oligachi rally with AOC is making Trump and Musk
very nervous. All right, if he thinks so, we're gonna
talk about that when we get back. Plus we have
tickets to see the Doobie Brothers. Want to add to
the conversation, leave us a talkback, Go to seven ten
WAR on the iHeartRadio app and click the microphone when
(11:34):
you're there. Also put seven to ten WR on your
presets and a very good morning, Tia seven twenty four.
Nice to be here. Today. My goodness, Monday. That did
the weekend flybyers. It just me it just feels like
it was like Friday and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Boom, oh way Severn, like you go down the elevator
and then the next thing you know, you're back up
in the elevator and that's it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well there is for those that missed it. It was
a big rally out in California over the weekend. Senator
Bernie Sanders. Every time I say his name, I want
to talk like him. I don't know why. He said
on Saturday that his latest rally with Representative Alexandria Ocasio
Cortez from here in Queens. It was their fighting Oligarchy tour,
(12:19):
also their largest, with a stop in downtown LA before
a massive group of ralliers. And here's what they had
to say.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
The oligarchy will concede nothing. They have the wealth, they
have the power, They own Congress, they own the White House,
they own much of the media, but they don't own us.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Here's here's my question. How often in day to day
parlance do you use the term oligarchy. I don't think
I've ever used it one. I actually have a hard
time pronouncing it. I mean, you know, I guess is
it that he just doesn't want to say millionaires and
billionaires because like the rest of the party uses that
term and it sounds cliche. I think he just owns
the word oligach. It's his word well, and he's used
(13:12):
it for decades, That's the thing. He's said it over
and over and over again. And he says that the
oligarchs are getting nervous, and.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Your presence here today is making.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Donald Trump and Elon Musk very nervous.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Now, in case you think that the use of the
term oligarch is something new for Bernie Sanders, he started
using the term from the late eighties early nineties. This
is him from nineteen ninety three on.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
We are moving in the direction of oligacky.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
We will move even more rapidly in the direction of
an oligocky. This great country is evolving into an oligarchic.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
It's grazy society.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Consistency though, and you could hear the younger voice, Yes,
the younger Bernie's when he was only like ninety four.
Now that he's one hundred and thirty eight, he still
looks good.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That man has more energy than I did.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Be sure that I give it to him more than me, certainly.
And here's Bernie Sanders talking about our future and the.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Future of what happens to America is dependent upon your generation.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Now, you can.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but
if you do that, you do it in your own peril.
We need you to stand up to fight for justice.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I think he was dancing ech Coachella.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
What I think Oachella The first thing I think of
his Senator Sanders. I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
But he has a following of very young people.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
He does, absolutely In fact, I think they're probably more
young people than old people. I think so too, absolutely. Well,
in case you missed the word oligarch, let's listen again.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Oligarchy or democracy, but we cannot have both.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That was aoc of course at the rally with Bernie.
We had to give AOC her time big that she's
the New Yorker talking about oligarchs. I don't know. Look again,
oligarch's for those who say, what the hell is an
oligarchs out? Oligarchs are just like mega millionaire Elon Musk's
in Russia. Okay, that's their version for those that don't realize.
So they're super powerful people who control corporate and government,
(15:32):
et cetera. So it's a little more than just the
average millionaire billionaire in the US because they're highly connected.
So those are the oligarchs. I get what he's saying
to an extent, But at the same time, it's like,
you know, when you cry wolf long enough, it's like, eh,
so since nineteen ninety three that he's been talking about
the oligus and they're still around.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Have those kids, echochalla, they don't know?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Nineteen ninety three, nineteen ninety three, that's for old pizza.
He's got a new audience. Unreal all right at times
coming up about seven twenty nine legendary sports. Oh excuse me,
I'm jumping the gun here forgive me. It is now
time for Jacqueline Carl with the seven thirty news. I'm sorry, Jacqueline,
don't fee good morning.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Half a dozen people are dead following a small plane
crash in Columbia County, New York over the weekend.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
The small twin engine plane crashed in a field in
the town of Kopeig on Saturday, killing two surgeons, their
two children, and their two children. Significant others. Michael Groff
was a neurosurgeon flying the plane that was heading to
Columbia County Airport near Hudson, with one family member telling
The New York Times their loved ones were on the
way to a twenty fifth birthday celebration and the Passover holiday.
(16:41):
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, adding
the pilot had missed the first approach and requested another
before losing communication. Natalie mcliori WOUR News.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Meanwhile, the tour company that operated the fatal flight that
crashed into New York's Hudson River is shutting down. The
announcement came just out after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
called on the FAA to suspend the company, named New
York Helicopter Tours Operating License. All right, so we're gonna
switch gears here and tell you how law enforcement can
(17:14):
get very creative in the UK. According to MSN, in
the UK, undercover officers decided to have some fun during
their undercover sting by dressing up as Batman and Robin
Yeah it happened, while keeping their eyes one on the
suspected con artists. The officers caught on that their targets
might have been catching on to the surveillance, so instead
(17:37):
of keeping it low key, they dressed up as Batman Robin.
Westminster Bridge has a reputation, by the way, for being
a hotspot for scammers and con artists, and the costumed
officers were actually able to nab their prey. I guess
they felt, well, that's a Batman Robin people. They're harmless,
they couldn't be law enforcement, but they were. Now it worked.
(18:01):
But do you think that would fly here in New York?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, I mean, if you think about it, think about
Times Square. You know, you have the people in costume,
So how would you suspect that somebody in costume isn't
a cop.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
That that is a very good point. And that's like
a place where you know, the tourists get pickpocketed and
all that. So maybe all those people and those especially
those statues, they I'm always suspicious of those statue people
who don't move until you're about to take a picture
and they move and you realize they're a statue.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
They could be good ones. Yeah, that kind of freaks
me out.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
It is right, it's kind of I can't stay still,
as everyone knows, for even a second, so I could never.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Do that job. Well, we love the fact that you
don't say. We love the energy that Jack brings. No, No,
you're awesome. You are the bank.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Well, this is the truth. You know. I'm a big fan.
Thank you, Jack Wilne. Have a wonderful day. It is
now seven thirty one. Legendary sportscaster Warner Wolf joins us

Monday morning to you. Seven thirty nine. We're gonna have
a decent day, sun and clouds but mild. It's going

finally welcome spring, because the last week did not feel
like spring at all, and Larry has a day off.
It's good to be sitting in the seat here in
a pleasure. Thank you Larry for letting me come in,
and thank you so much to Natalie who's been spoiling
me in my time here. So on the phone right now,
as a person whom I have admired and just idolized
(19:50):
for years, Warner Wolf, legendary sportscaster, Good morning, Warner.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
All right, thank you very much. Ken. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Good to have you. Good to have you talk.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
About talking about perseverance. My gosh. Roy McElroy finally wins
his second Masters after eleven years. Wow, in a one
hole playoff with Justin Rose. But you know what I'm
looking at, man, How times have changed up until nineteen
(20:20):
thirty five the Masters, their playoff was thirty six holes,
and then they changed it to eighteen holes until nineteen
seventy five and finally to the current sudden death playoff
as we know it. Can you imagine it was still
(20:41):
thirty six holes the game.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's still beyond yeah, Oh.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
My gosh. And you know the story. It was McElroy
when he was only fifteen, his father at odds of
five hundred to one bet six hundred and eighty three
dollars that his so would win the British Open before
the age of twenty six, and he did. He won
(21:06):
the British Open at age twenty five, and his father
won three hundred and forty two thousand dollars. Who Yeah,
that's a great story with Michailroy. Yeah, changing it now.
The Bull of the week has to go to Major
League Baseball, who continues to start the season at least
two weeks too early. Thirty nine degrees, winned and rained
(21:31):
in New York last week. The week before in Detroit
the Yanks Tigers thirty four degrees, and that was even
after they had to change it from a night game
to a day game. Thirty nine degrees in Kansas City,
thirty five in Chicago. It's like heck with the fans.
Instead of starting the season in March, wait till April fifteenth,
(21:56):
which would be tomorrow. And that's the way it was
for them in the years. Speaking of baseball, the worst
managerial job of the weekend Dodgers Dave Roberts, who took
out his starter Roki Sasaki after five innings in a
one to nothing game because of the old pitch count.
(22:18):
The Dodger's bullpen came in and gave up seventeen hits
and fifteen runs, and the Dodgers turned to a turned
a one nothing game into a sixteen to nothing loss,
the Dodgers worst shutout home loss in franchise history, and
(22:40):
that includes in Brooklyn too. All right, it's time now
for this week's three stooges. Hit it crash all right.
Stooge number one Josh Cronky, the owner's son and president
(23:01):
of the Denver Nuggets, who were just three games to
go in the regular season, with the Nuggets already clinching
the fourth spot in the West, fired their head coach,
Mike Malone and the general manager. For goodness sake, let
the guy finish the season. They won fifty games and
(23:23):
he was the only Nugget Championship winner in the twenty
two to twenty three season. Stooge number two British TV
host John Oliver, who sat on the air men who
want to live as ladies have no or little physical
(23:44):
advantage over women.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh, come on, he's gotta be kidding.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Male athletes are bigger, stronger, and faster than women. Athletes.
How come there are no women boxers fighting men boxers,
or why are there no women NFL players? And how
come the men's winning time and the marathons are always
better than the women. Years ago, Tina Aberdelova said that
(24:16):
the number one tennis ranked woman would beat the one
hundredth ranked man. And I asked Chris Everett and she said,
no way. She said, I was married to John Lloyd,
who was the three hundred and fiftieth ranked man in
the world, and he would wipe me off the court
(24:37):
every time. Quicker, stronger, and more powerful. Stear's number three
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who backed the resolution. If you
were caught speeding, you can ask for a reduction on
the ticket based upon your financial situation. Discounts include fifty
(25:02):
percent depending on your income, or up to eighty percent
if you were homeless. Now, we all feel bad for
the homeless, but if you're caught speeding, which could injure
or kill someone, you can't give an incentive for reduction.
And those are three stooges of the week.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You know the other thing too, one er, I'm wondering
if you have if you're homeless, what are you doing
speeding down the car. I don't know that just that
came to mind too, but I was.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Unless you go ahead, unless you're living in the car.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Well that's unfortunately. Yes, I was going to bring up
you talking about the men and women athletes, there was
a student we just read last week about the world's
There was a pool champion a billiard's championship in England
to women, So men biological men who are trans women
(26:05):
who were competing in this tournament that would have been women,
a woman's tournament. And we looked it up and it
turns out that the difference between the best men and
the best women in billiards, it's like a hundred points
in difference, and it comes down to there were all
sorts of biological factors. So it's not prejudicial. It's just
(26:25):
reality of biological reality.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Yeah, and of course that doesn't involve strength or speed
or power, you know, Filius Hey. This day in sports
seventy years ago today, April fourteenth, nineteen fifty five, catcher
Elston Howard became the first African American player to play
for the New York Yankees, eight years after the Brooklyn
(26:51):
Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson, and six years after their other neighbors,
the New York Giants, signed thirty year old Monty Irvin.
By the way, the last major League team to sign
an African American player, the Boston Red Sox, who didn't
sign an African American player pumps the Green until nineteen
(27:15):
fifty nine. And here's the key. They gave Jackie Robinson
a one day bogus tryout in nineteen forty five and
never contacted him again. So I've always wondered how many
more pennants would the Red Sox have won in the
(27:37):
late forties and mid fifties instead of the Yankees if
they had signed Jackie Robinson.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Phony Liberals in Boston Waterwolf legendary sportscaster the man I idolized,
thank you so much for being on today, sir. Always
a pleasure, all right, thank you, Ken you're Jay, Thank you.
Seven forty seven. Now Facebook on trial? What does it
take to break up the social media plus Iran nuclear talks?
Can we diffuse the dangerous situation? We'll talk with War's
(28:07):
national correspondent Rory O'Neil coming up next. Kenbra's out on
for Larry on your Monday. Good to have you along
at seven fifty five hundred Monday morning. A little bit
of sun and clouds today, but much milder with highs
in the mid sixties. Well, mister Zuckerberg himself, Meta Man
is going to be on trial today. Facebook parent Meta
(28:28):
faces a high stakes trial in Washington. It starts today
and claims that it built an illegal social media monopoly,
the Facebook, by spending billions of dollars to acquire Instagram
and WhatsApp. And this has US antitrust enforcers seeking to
unwind all those deals. That's a big deal with us.
Right now, on the phone is Rory O'Neil, War's national correspondent,
(28:51):
Rory good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Hey, Derek Ken, good morning. I'm wearing my green jacket
right now.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yesterday you just flew up from Augusta and boy your
arms diyre sorry, I'm old, so worry. So the trial
dat is today, This is when it starts. This is
going to take a while, obviously in the courts. Do
you think that the courts have a I mean, you
think that there's a chance that this might and actually
get broken up?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Well, right, some are comparing this to the breakup of
mob Bell right, and AT and T back in the day.
But this is now a one point for a trillion
dollar enterprise at Meta, and the FTC says that accuses them.
I think they were still Facebook at the time, Facebook
of really hiding their intentions when they bought Instagram and WhatsApp,
(29:38):
and essentially they accused them of violating antitrust laws, and
now they're trying to break them up again. Now, this
suit was filed back in December of twenty twenty after
President Trump lost the election. Remember, he was upset that
Facebook had kicked him off the platform, and that's when
the FTC brought the complaint. Between the election and the
(30:00):
inauguration of President Biden. So here we are now the
case finally coming to trial. So that's why it may
be no surprise that we saw Mark Zuckerberg giving a
million dollars to the Trump Inaugural Committee, trying to cozy
up to President Trump with visits tomorrow lago, maybe trying
to get some sort of a settlement before we finally
get a verdict. Verdict in this.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Case, isn't the term sucking up?
Speaker 7 (30:22):
Well, yeah, you can say that.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I mean it's pretty obvious right here here. Zuckerberg seemed
to be as anti Trump as the came. Remember, he
was attacking Trump on the whole build the wall, build
that wall. In fact, I remember back eight years ago,
Zuckerberg ended up buying a piece of property in Washington
and he bought up nine houses around his property to
knock down the houses to build a wall around his house.
(30:48):
But he was telling us, all, we don't need a
wall on the border. I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
For our right, right. And so this is going to
be about a two month trial, so it should be
pretty interesting. It's federal court, not going to have cameras
and microphones in there. Instead, we'll get those weird sketches
that they try to turn around with the pastel's pretty quickly.
But yeah, the jury's going to be in for quite
the marathon.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Now. We had some talks over the weekend. The Trump
team held face to face nuclear talks with Iran, described
as constructive and positive. But the Trump team did say
that if there isn't a resolution reached here in terms
of eliminating any nuclear possibilities in Iran, we would go in.
Speaker 9 (31:29):
Yeah, and again that sort of throws a wet blanket
on some of the talks that Steve Witkoff has been
trying to have Again, this is the President's point person
now on the Russia Ukraine deal, on the.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Israel Hamas deal. Now, mister Witkoff is trying to get
a new nuclear deal with Iran. The US wants Iran
to stop its nuclear programs and its nuclear ambitions. At
the same time, Iran is trying to get all those
sanctions lifted. And now the talk that they had in
Oman this weekend lasted about two hours, so to call
(32:02):
them preliminary is generous. But they are going to be
back at the table next week in Rome. So maybe
this is just a baby steps on a path to
getting some sort of a deal.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I mean, ultimately it would be I'm assuming Israel would
at least start the process in the event that they
intended on going forward with their nuclear plans.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Well, right, so you know, and how broad this is,
how comprehensive any agreement would be, is also up in
the air. You remember that Europe helped to broker the
last Iran nuclear deal. President Trump said it was a
lousy deal and back the US out of it. So
now he's trying to negotiate something new. And let's see
if there's much progress being made, or if both sides
(32:45):
dragged their feet.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
W or National correspondent Rory O'Neil always good to have
you in my friend, have a great day.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Hey, thanks Ken, talk to you soon.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Thank you. It is seven point fifty nine. Ever wondered
if we've misunderstood adhd all along. Well, we're going to
talk about groundbreaking insights that challenge everything we thought we
knew about this condition with psychiatrist doctor Gail Saltz after
the eight o'clock News
