1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WR Now the WR Saturday 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Morning Show. 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 2: Here's Larry Minty this week on Saturday Morning. It's the 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: best of Curtis Leiwa and Larry mentiing in the morning. 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 3: Here is our conversation with Wor White House correspondent and 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 3: constitutional attorney John Decker, who was in the Supreme Court 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 3: with President Trump for the Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship. 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: John, what a day it was at the Supreme Court. Huh. 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 3: You had the President there, you had Robert de Niro here, 10 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 3: there were you starstruck. 11 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 4: Now I don't get starstruck, but you know what I had. 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 4: I honestly believe the best seat at the Supreme Court 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 4: yesterday for those oral arguments, because not only did I 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 4: had such a great view of the nine justices, but 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 4: also the entire time I could watch President Trump. I 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 4: had a direct view of him watching the oral arguments 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 4: as they played out. He stayed in the Supreme Court 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 4: for about seventy five minutes. He left before they concluded. 19 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 4: He was very attentive throughout, you know, didn't really pass 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 4: notes or chat with anybody during oral arguments. Also on 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 4: the same row as the President in the public section 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 4: of the Supreme Court were the Attorney General and Howard Lutnik, 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 4: the Commerce Secretary, watching and seeing if the Supreme Court 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: would buy into the administration's argument concerning the constitutionality of 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 4: the President's Executive Order on birthright citizenship. 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 5: John Dica, we know the President is upset with the 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 5: justices because of the whole tariff issue. But I think 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 5: the guy on the hot seat yesterday was a solicitor 29 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 5: general who had to defy a Trump's decision. He was 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 5: mad at him over the tariff thing. So how did 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 5: does a solicitor general do? Because, man, let's face it, 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 5: the President is a had to be mad dogging the 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: solicited gen. 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 4: Like I said, the President was a tent of you know, 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: he showed a poker face throughout. You know, he didn't 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: shake his head or anything like that. But you know, 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 4: the President also, as you know, sometimes likes to point 38 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 4: the finger if things don't go well. And one individual 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 4: that he could certainly point the finger at is the 40 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: Solicitor General John Sower, who is also unsuccessful in winning 41 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: the tariff's case at the Supreme Court. I don't think 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 4: it's John sowers fault, you know. I mean, if you're 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 4: delta band and you're delta band hand. And I think 44 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 4: that that is the case, certainly with the President's executive 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: order on birthright citizenship. A majority of the Justice it's 46 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: liberals and conservatives were very skeptical, very doubtful about, you know, 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 4: the legal theory being put forward by the Solicitor General. 48 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's going to be close if 49 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: you just listened to the arguments and that you have 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: to you can't always go by that. I understand, John, 51 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: you can't always go by that. But it sounded like 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: maybe Alito, maybe Thomas may you know, maybe seven to two, 53 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: But it doesn't sound like this is going to go 54 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: the President's way. What was the biggest hole they thought 55 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: was the argument made by sour and President Trump. 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 4: Well, I think that you know you're dealt a bad hand. 57 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 4: You're dealt a bad hand. And what I mean by 58 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 4: that is there's a Supreme Court case. It dates all 59 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 4: the way back to eighteen ninety eight. It's a landmark decision, 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: and that case was cited repeatedly by the justices in 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. They do not in any way want 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: to overturn that decision. And so you know, That is 63 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 4: what John Sour, the Solicitor General, is faced with. How 64 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: do you argue a case and win your case when 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 4: the case that is Supreme Court President will not be overturned. 66 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 4: And you see the problem that John Sower has, You 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: really can't. And so to your point, Larry, yeah, I 68 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: mean I think it's at least six to three against 69 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: the president, the like the Tariff's case was, and it 70 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: could be a lot worse than that, as you mentioned, 71 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 4: seven to two, eight to one, perhaps a unanimous decision 72 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 4: against the president. But he's not going to win this case. 73 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: I can pretty much be certain of. 74 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: That, John Decker. 75 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 5: What hasn't been described is when the American Civil Liberties 76 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 5: Union Guide came up, because they are the ones who 77 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 5: the admissaries. Well, I'm sorry, woman, but they pounded her too, right, 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 5: the justices. They didn't give her a free pass, did. 79 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: They, Well, they didn't give her a free pass. I 80 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 4: heard a fellow reporter come up with an analogy which 81 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 4: I like, and that is, you know, it's like when 82 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 4: Alabama in the beginning of the college football season plays 83 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: Morgan State and they crushed them, you know, like seventy 84 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 4: three to ten, and you still want to have essentially 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: the Alabama team still in the game, still paying attention. Well, 86 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 4: the same thing could be said for the justices at 87 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: the Supreme Court. They know this is going to be 88 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 4: a losing case for the President. They could tell that, 89 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: you know, a half hour in, but they wanted to 90 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 4: give due deference to the lawyers arguing the case ask questions. 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 4: And I think that's what was happening yesterday. I do 92 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 4: think that as the case war on yesterday, I could 93 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: tell that justices lost interest. They lost interest in the 94 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 4: case because they view it as a loser, a loser 95 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 4: in terms of what the administration was arguing before them. 96 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: President shed, We're gonna get tired of winning. You already 97 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: signaling the fact he's a loser. 98 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: You can ignore him on that question if you want to, John, 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: that really wasn't a question. 100 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: That was an opinion. 101 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: But let's move on to the speech last night by 102 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: But what did we learned new from that? 104 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: I don't think we learned anything new that we haven't 105 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: heard the President say or read in terms of a 106 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 4: social media post over the course of the past two weeks. 107 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 4: Nothing new in terms of the timeline, in terms of 108 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: when this conflict will end nothing new in terms of 109 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 4: any announcement concerning the strata for moves or ways to 110 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 4: lower gas prices. I think that this was the President 111 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 4: essentially checking a box, and that box being I need 112 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: to give a speech to the American public in prime 113 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: time at some point during this conflict, and I'm doing 114 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: that right now. And that's what we saw happen last night. 115 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 4: It was one of the shortest speeches I've seen the 116 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 4: President deliver. I mean, twenty minutes is short by Donald Trump. 117 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, Yeah, And that goes to your theory that 118 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: he was checking a box. Curtis, would you like to 119 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: actually ask a question or you want to call him 120 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: a loser again, Well, he's not a loser in this war. 121 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: I want it to come to an end. Remember he said, 122 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 3: give me what two three weeks more and it's over. 123 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: Is that essentially what he was telling the American people 124 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: last night. 125 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 126 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 4: I think that he was saying, there's an endgame to this. 127 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 4: The end game is not going to be a long 128 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: term affair, you know, nothing like we saw with Vietnam 129 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 4: or some of the other conflicts. The President cited. It's 130 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 4: going to be a short term conflict. And two to 131 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 4: three weeks is what the President feels that he needs 132 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 4: to achieve the goals that he set out at the 133 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 4: beginning of this conflict back on February the twenty eighth. 134 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: And you know, now the president, you know, in primetime 135 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 4: is on record in terms of how long he believes 136 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 4: this conflict will last. 137 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 5: Now, he did a great job in sales, which he's 138 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 5: always done well, as he announced, Hey, we're a net 139 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 5: exporter of oil petroleum. 140 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: You want oil, you want. 141 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 5: Petroleum products, We got plenty to exploit to you. 142 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: Pretty much. 143 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 5: You was telling the world, if you can't get your 144 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 5: oil through the straits of removed to the Red Sea. 145 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: Or whatever, come on the USA. We're ready to South 146 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: open for business. 147 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 4: Right Yeah, well hope, yeah. I mean, the President never 148 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: misses a chance to tell the United States, and last 149 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: night was a good opportunity the president, interestingly enough, because 150 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 4: we've heard him criticize NATO a lot over the past 151 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: few days, but he did not criticize NATO specifically. He 152 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 4: did criticize countries, however, for not doing more from their 153 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 4: perspective to make this straight up for moves safe for 154 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: oil tankers and cargo ships to pass through that body 155 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 4: of water. And you know, the President doesn't have any 156 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: events that are open to the press today. I'm in 157 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 4: the pool. There's one event that could open up. That's 158 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: at two o'clock, and I hope that does open up. 159 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: I'll have I have a number of questions for the 160 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 4: President that I'd like to ask. 161 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: The chances are it's going to open up. Let me 162 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: ask you about these peace talks going on. These are 163 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: the strangest peace talks I can ever remember, because we 164 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: don't know exactly who is involved. We don't know who's 165 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: representing Iran, we don't know how much power they have. Well, 166 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: we don't even know who the emissaries exactly are, I 167 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: know as Pakistan, but that are that are giving the 168 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: information back and forth. Can we can we trust these 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 3: peace talks that they're actually the people we hope they are. 170 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: Well, I think that to a certain extent, Larry, you 171 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 4: have to put your trust in the process and we'll 172 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 4: see where they go. The President briefly talked about diplomatic 173 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,239 Speaker 4: efforts that have been ongoing. 174 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: We know that JD. 175 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 4: Vance is involved in that, and the President made a 176 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 4: comment yesterday at an Easter lunch saying that you know, 177 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: if jd Vance is unsuccessful, I'm going to blame him 178 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: for that. If he is successful, the President says, I'm 179 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 4: going to take the credit. So let's few where things go. 180 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: That sounds like President Trump, doesn't it. And you know, 181 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: let's hope that diplomatic efforts win the day in terms 182 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 4: of reopening the straight up for moves. I think that's 183 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 4: a real big thing that is driving the financial markets 184 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 4: right now. 185 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: John Decker WR White House and Washington correspondent and host 186 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 3: of the podcast The White House Briefing Room with John Decker, 187 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: which can be found on the iHeartRadio app. Up next, 188 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: Rich de Muro says, Google now lets you change your 189 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: email account and still get the emails from your old account. 190 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: Back now to the WR Saturday Morning Show with Larry MINTI. 191 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: Welcome back this week. 192 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 3: Rich DeMuro from rich O Tech filled us in on 193 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: an FBI warning about a cyber attack by Iran using 194 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: a popular app. 195 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 5: Rich, could you sort of describe how that works because 196 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 5: I got to believe that the Israelis are listening in 197 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 5: on whatever is being said on telegram. 198 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, good morning too, Curtis and Larry. Here's the deal. 199 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 6: I use telegram. It is a very popular app. I'm 200 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 6: actually surprised that high level government officials are using this 201 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 6: because it is not end to end encrypted by default. 202 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: What does that mean. 203 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 6: It means that other people could potentially see the messages 204 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 6: that are exchanged on this platform. If you look at 205 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 6: I Message, if you look at WhatsApp, if you look 206 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 6: at Signal, which is a popular among government officials, those 207 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 6: are all end to end encrypted. That means that nobody, 208 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 6: not even the developers of that app, are able to 209 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 6: see anything you exchange inside that app, whereas something like 210 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 6: a telegram they could if they wanted. 211 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: To let me ask you about something else. 212 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: And I just had this conversation with my son because 213 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: I'm still learning after all these years, how to use 214 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: my eye phone. And one of the things you said 215 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 3: to me is that you can put on do not 216 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: disturb and you can pick out certain people. Certain calls 217 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 3: can get through, others ones can't, and even text. Right, 218 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: So how do you do this? 219 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 220 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 6: So this is called a focus mode in general. You know, 221 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 6: you go to your control center, which is by swiping 222 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 6: down in the upper right hand corner of your phone, 223 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 6: you get all those controls. You'll see a little item 224 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 6: that says focus. You tap in there and you've got 225 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 6: do not disturb, you've got sleep, so you can go 226 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 6: in and edit just the people that you want to 227 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 6: be able to what I call break through these modes 228 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 6: when your phone is on silent. That's one way of 229 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 6: doing it, but there's another way that I've discovered that's 230 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 6: even easier. If you just want to make sure no 231 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,479 Speaker 6: matter what, let's say, your spouse, your partner, a work colleague, 232 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 6: your boss, no matter what focus mode your phone is on, 233 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 6: whether it's on silent, do not disturb, they will always 234 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 6: be able to ring your phone. There's a feature called 235 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 6: Emergency Bypass, and you can do this on both iPhone 236 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 6: and Android. You go into your contact, you basically hit 237 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 6: edit and you tap ring tone. And it wouldn't be 238 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 6: something that most people would look for. You would never 239 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 6: look under this. And there's a switch that says emergency bypass. 240 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 6: When you turn that on, no matter what mode your 241 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 6: phone is in, when that person calls you, it will 242 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 6: ring your phone. I have this set for my wife 243 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 6: and it is fantastic because I can if she had 244 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 6: an accident a couple weeks ago and she got right through, 245 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 6: no problem. 246 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 3: You know, I'm looking at it as you described that. 247 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: I was going through it as you described it, and 248 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: I try to text my son all the time, and 249 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: it's always on do not disturb. When I try to 250 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: call him, it said that he's like, he can't be disturbed, 251 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: but he can set up an emergency for me, and 252 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 3: he chooses not to. So I should be offended, right. 253 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 6: You need to tell him, Hey, it's funny. Apple started 254 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 6: revealing that you can turn that off. By the way, 255 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 6: but it tells other people when your phone is on silent, 256 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 6: like it says this person has do not disturb enabled. 257 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 6: You can turn that off in your settings. I don't 258 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 6: know if that's a good thing or a bad thing 259 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 6: to let people know. I don't know if I want 260 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 6: people to know that my phone is on silent, Like 261 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 6: I'm just ignoring you. 262 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: I have that right to do that. Right. My son 263 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: doesn't on paying for his college. What are you talking about? 264 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 7: You might be paying for his phone line too. You 265 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 7: are point there, you go, speaking of sons. I have 266 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 7: three sons, like remember the program my three sons, My 267 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 7: youngest son. He texts me yesterday, Maybe you can help 268 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 7: me with this, rich DeMuro, He goes, Hey, Dad, can 269 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 7: you fix the trains? I have no WiFi? And I said, son, 270 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 7: if I had been elected to mayor, I might have 271 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,119 Speaker 7: been able. 272 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: To do that. 273 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 5: But I want to extrapolate that because I recently took 274 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 5: a Delta flight and my wife, she's into the tech 275 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 5: because I'm a luddite, and. 276 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: She had the Wi Fi and all that. 277 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 5: But you're telling me the Delta, like the number one carrier, 278 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 5: is now choosing Amazon over Starlink for the in flight 279 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 5: Wi Fi. 280 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: Why you know, it's a head scratcher. 281 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 6: I think there now obvious not everyone as a fan 282 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 6: of Elon Musk. I'm not sure if that was underlying 283 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 6: their decision here, but there's also people that aren't a 284 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 6: fan of Amazon either, so you can't win. But here's 285 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 6: the deal. 286 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: Starlink, we know is proven. You've got a. 287 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 6: Bunch of airlines already installing it. I've been on three 288 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 6: flights with it. It is absolutely incredible. It's almost like 289 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 6: your home Wi Fi connection on that plane. United's doing it, 290 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 6: Alaska's doing it, Southwest is doing it. But Delta decided, 291 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 6: you know what, we're going with the unproven Number two, 292 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 6: which is Amazon's Leo satellite system. They've only launched about 293 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 6: two hundred of these satellites. Starlink has ten thousand of 294 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 6: them up in the air. Amazon's not even up and 295 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 6: running with this yet in a big way, but this 296 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 6: is what you're gonna find on Delta Airlines in twenty 297 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 6: twenty eight, so it's gonna take a while, whereas starlink 298 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 6: is already here. By the way, speaking of all this 299 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 6: satellite stuff, if you want a real interesting view of 300 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 6: all the satellites that are up and outer space right now, 301 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 6: this website just is amazing. It's called satellitemap dot space. 302 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 6: It brings up a picture of the world and you 303 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 6: can see every single satellite, or at least all the 304 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 6: reported ones that are hovering above us hundreds of miles up. 305 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 6: It is quite incredible, and you can, by the way, 306 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 6: narrowed down by constellation. So if you just go to starlink, 307 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 6: you'll see how many they have versus LEO, which is 308 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 6: you know, Amazon's, it is a fraction. You'll be surprised. 309 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: Rich Demiro rich on Tech has heard Sunday nights from 310 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: eight to eleven pm on wor you can reach out 311 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 3: to Rich at rich on Tech on Instagram. What is 312 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: the political fallout from the war in Iran. We'll ask 313 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: political analyst j. C. Polonko still to come. On Saturday Morning, 314 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: Joe Neumeyer previews the movies coming out this spring, including 315 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: a family film that has a certain babe vibe. 316 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: Here's Larry Minti with more of the woor Saturday Morning Show. 317 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: Whole show. 318 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: The war in Iran is not popular with most America. 319 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: So what are the ramifications for President Donald Trump and 320 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 3: the Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. Here's political analyst 321 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 3: j C. Polanco JC. I don't think Donald Trump knew 322 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: there'd be this public blowback that there's been in the 323 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: polls so far, and I think that's one of the 324 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 3: reasons he wants to get out of there in the 325 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 3: next couple of weeks. What will the political fallout be? 326 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 3: And by the way, good. 327 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 8: Morning to you, good morning's happy to be with you today. Well, 328 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 8: listen to the political fallout. We're seeing it in every 329 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 8: poll that's coming out, and it was a self inflicted 330 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 8: wound on what could have been different. Look, the messaging 331 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 8: was off from the very beginning the press conference that 332 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 8: the President had a couple of nights ago to talk 333 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 8: to the country should have happened a long time ago. 334 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 8: I think that his key players, from Secretary Rubio to 335 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 8: Secretary Heccess to him and JD. Vans and the like, 336 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 8: should have been more direct, should have had one cohesive 337 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 8: message as to why we're there. We were getting messages 338 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 8: that we were there because Netanyahu was going to launch 339 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 8: an offensive and event was going to be upset and 340 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 8: was going to target our folks, which is what we 341 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 8: got from Secretary Rubio. Then we got something else from 342 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 8: Secretary Hexcess, and that mixed messaging. The public does not like. 343 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 8: We see that in the polls. In addition, it wasn't 344 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 8: just messaging. We're feeling it in our pockets. The straighter 345 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 8: for mooth is an issue. We're seeing the increase in 346 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 8: the price of gasoline when we go to the gas stations. 347 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 8: This is this is affecting Americans directly, and the uncertainty 348 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 8: the market hates, as you know, Larry, that uncertainty. I 349 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 8: think that the polls would have at the end of 350 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 8: the day been very different had there been one message 351 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 8: and there wasn't this coyness going on behind the messaging. Now, 352 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 8: I don't think that you'll have an American in this 353 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 8: country and abroad who won't be happy to see that 354 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 8: this terrorist nation is going to have new leadership and 355 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 8: it's no longer in existence. The problem is, is a 356 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 8: new leadership, what is happening here at the end? Is 357 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 8: it going to be more of the same. These are 358 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 8: some of the questions that you're going to see, uh, 359 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 8: continue happening, and it's gonna hurt the president. The president 360 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 8: should just say flat out, we're gonna have regime change, 361 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 8: We're not gonna have these terrorists in charge. And I 362 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 8: think you have a much better poll result, but the 363 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 8: Republics are going to pay the price for the messaging 364 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 8: in November. It's unfortunate, but we're seeing it. We're seeing 365 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 8: it in the polling data as it is, there's no 366 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 8: question about it, which is why I think you had 367 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 8: so much going on yesterday. You had Secretary Hecxsess firing 368 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 8: General after general leftter general. You have the president firing 369 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 8: the ag yesterday because he knows these poll numbers are 370 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 8: terrible and he wants to distract from the polls. So 371 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 8: I think this weekend he has to just refocus on 372 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 8: the messaging and ensuring Americans that we're not just going 373 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 8: to have another terrorist nation at the end of this. 374 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with everything you say. The messaging. 375 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 3: Messaging has been horrible, and I think the timing of 376 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 3: this was because he felt like he had to do 377 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: it right now because of the midterm elections. He didn't 378 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: want to have this going on in the fall, and 379 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 3: he wanted to be able to get in there and 380 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: wrap it up quickly. Let's just say everything goes amazingly well, 381 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: Let's say we take out the regime. Let's say we 382 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 3: don't even have to pay for restitution, that that is 383 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: all going to be Saudi Arabia and the Arab nations 384 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 3: that are going to play pay for that, and rebuild Iran, 385 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 3: and we eliminate that regime, and we eliminate this cancer 386 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 3: in the world and the mothership of all terrorism. And 387 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 3: then gas prices go back down, inflation is down. Things 388 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 3: are much better, maybe even wonderful come September, which is 389 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: what I think the administration is hoping for. Is that 390 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: too little, too late or will that make amends? 391 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 8: Well, you've got to remember, Larry, that the party in 392 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 8: charge of the White House, well ninety nine percent of 393 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 8: the time loose seats in the midterm elections. By the fault, 394 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 8: So keep that in mind. Right, It's not as if 395 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 8: he things could have been great and he still would 396 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 8: have kept the majority in the midterms. Where you're describing 397 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 8: would be the ideal situation for Republicans. But let's remember 398 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 8: how does he do it? How does the president go 399 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 8: ahead and get the things done that you mentioned in 400 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 8: this The president goes on TV and says I'm going 401 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 8: to bomb the civilian electrical plants. That's not going to 402 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 8: bode row with independence. It's just not Larry. He cannot 403 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 8: go and say that he's going to do the kind 404 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 8: of things we've seen Putin do in Ukraine. That's going 405 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 8: to hurt him. So it's how he does it. So ideally, 406 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 8: if everything he described works, I think that the blow 407 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 8: is going to be lessened. I'm looking at I'm looking 408 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 8: at Mike Lawler in Rockland and Westchester, So that's what 409 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 8: I'm looking at. 410 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 9: You. 411 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 8: You have about a little over a dozen of Mike 412 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 8: Lawlers around the country that determine the majorities. And if 413 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 8: the Republicans are to keep the majority, the Mike Lawlers 414 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 8: in the country have to win. And what do I mean, 415 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 8: I mean Republican Congress members who run in Harris districts. 416 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 8: How is Mike Lauder going to do this November? How's 417 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 8: this polling data? That's what's key. Uh. Can a Republican 418 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 8: like Mike Lawler, Mike Lawler win in a Harris district 419 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 8: this midterm election? And there's a polling show that and 420 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 8: I think that will determine how big the majority will 421 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 8: be for the Democrats. The Democrats are counting the number 422 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 8: of seats are going to win in November, and they're 423 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 8: already measuring the drapes for Speaker Jeffreyes. The question is 424 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 8: by what margin they are They're just measuring by what 425 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 8: margin are they going to win? How is Mike laughter doing? 426 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 8: And Mike Lawler needs the President to stop saying that 427 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 8: he's going to bomb electrical civilian electrical plans. That's not 428 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 8: going to do well for Mike l Mike, Mikeclolid will 429 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 8: do well with a new regime. And I ran, Mike 430 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 8: Loland will do well if the country sees everything you 431 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 8: just said, everything you just said, Mike Lawlier will do well. 432 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 8: But if if the president is going to talk about 433 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 8: things like he did a couple of nights ago, he's 434 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 8: going to do to civilian plans that's not going to 435 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 8: vote well for independence and some of the Democrats that 436 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 8: these Republicans are going to need in November in order 437 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 8: to vote for them and keep the majority. It'll keep 438 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 8: your eye on the Mike Lawler District. J. C. 439 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: Polonko, political analyst and University of Mount Saint Vincent assistant 440 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: professor and attorney. 441 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 2: Still to come. 442 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: A Spring movie preview from WR Movie Minute host Joe Newmyer. 443 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: Here again is Larry Minty with the WOR Saturday Morning show. 444 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: All let's get right to Joe Newmyer, WR Movie Minute 445 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: host and film journalist. 446 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 2: And I know this was supposed to. 447 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: Be the dead area right where the play the films 448 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 3: that come out aren't that great. They're not gonna be blockbusters, 449 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: they're not gonna be Academy Award winners. And yet there 450 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 3: was a couple of gems in there, as you told 451 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: us over the last few weeks. But now now we 452 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 3: start to get into some of the good movies and 453 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 3: you have a spring preview. 454 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: What are we looking forward to? 455 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 9: We got a couple of really interesting ones, Larry, Yeah, 456 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 9: just as a as a quick backcrack, right, this was 457 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 9: supposed to be a slow time project. Hail Mary was 458 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 9: one of the biggest hits of the year, made you know, 459 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 9: eighty million its opening weekend. So this spring is now 460 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 9: looking to kind of coast off that in Hollywood's obviously 461 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 9: excited about it. The first one coming up is a 462 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 9: movie called Beast that looks really interesting. Russell Crowe plays 463 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 9: the coach of an MMA fighter. Luke Hemsworth co stars 464 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 9: in it as the fighter and Russell Crowe also co 465 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 9: wrote the script. And I'm a big Russell Crowe fan, 466 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 9: like I think that, you know, people sort of think 467 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 9: of them now. He's only sixty one, which is amazing 468 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 9: because he's been around a long time. You think, oh 469 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 9: my god, he must be so much older. He's only 470 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 9: sixty one. But in movies like Mastered, Commander, the Farestar 471 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 9: of the World, American Gangster, and obviously like that great 472 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 9: that great Trio of La Confidential, Beautiful Mind and Cinderellaman. 473 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: It's my favorite Rella Man. Yes, he was so great 474 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 2: in that. It's one of my favorite boxing movies. May 475 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 2: be my favorite, terrific. 476 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 9: Paul Giamanni's great in there too, Rene Zelwerger, I agree, 477 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 9: it's he plays James J. Braddock in the nineteen thirty Terrific, 478 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 9: Terrific film, And so I'm looking forward to this movie 479 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 9: called Beasts. I hope it brings them and kind of 480 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 9: puts them back on top. Then there's another one. There's 481 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 9: another take of the Mummy. Now this is another attempt 482 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 9: to reboot the bandage covered monster that you know debuted 483 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 9: in nineteen thirty one in a Boris Karlav film for 484 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 9: a new era. They've tried to couple of times. This 485 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 9: time the undead is this young woman who vanishes in 486 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 9: the desert, and the director is the guy who did 487 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 9: The Invisible Man a couple of years ago. So I'm 488 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 9: hoping that this one kind of clicks. When they did 489 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 9: the one with Tom Cruise about eight years ago, ten 490 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 9: years ago, that one sort of killed the hopes for 491 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 9: a franchise, but this one might work. Oddly enough, Russell 492 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 9: Crowe was actually in The Mummy. He played doctor jekylb 493 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 9: Doctor Jacquelin, mister Hyde fame, so hopefully this one will 494 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 9: will will click. Then there's one called Four Kids Walk 495 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 9: into a Bank and Liam Neeson plays a thief whose 496 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 9: young granddaughter and her and her young friends try to 497 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 9: pull off this this heist before her grandpa does and 498 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 9: after the Naked Gun last year, I'm all in for 499 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 9: Liam Neeson's comedy, right. 500 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good, it was funny. 501 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 9: He did he did really well. You know, he picked 502 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 9: up the mantle from Leslie Nielsen in a really terrific way. 503 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 9: And and so this looks like he's kind of continuing that. 504 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 9: And if you've seen him on any of the talk shows, 505 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 9: he's actually very funny. I met him one time. He's 506 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 9: also a really you know, he's got a dry sense 507 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 9: of humor, irish. He's very funny. So hopefull four kids 508 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 9: walk into a bank, continue that that comedy thing for him. 509 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 9: Then there's Michael, which is a musical bio pick of 510 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 9: Michael Jackson. Has nothing to do with the with the 511 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 9: performance that's going on on Broadway. You know, for a 512 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 9: couple of years, there's been one that's going on. This 513 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 9: is totally different. This is reached by Antelin Fuqua, who's 514 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 9: made a couple of great movies, including Training Days, and 515 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 9: here he's played by Michael jack is played by his 516 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 9: nephew Jafar Jackson, and Coleman Domingo plays his father, Joe, 517 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 9: who's an overbearing figure. I think it stops in nineteen 518 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 9: eighty eight. That seems to be the energy that I've 519 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 9: picked up on why I've talked to people. So it 520 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 9: goes from his childhood with the Jackson five of course 521 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 9: to about nineteen eighty eight, so it stops in the 522 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 9: late eighties. That's probably good for headlines. We'll see if 523 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 9: you know, as a movie, if it works. Then there's 524 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 9: an adventure movie coming out called Deep Water with Aaron 525 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 9: Eckhart as a pilot. He's trying to save the passengers 526 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 9: after they're plane crashes and shark infested waters. I'm not 527 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 9: sure if audiences are gonna want to see a movie 528 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 9: but a plane crash right around now? But right yes, 529 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 9: But Ben Kingsley and a eck Carter in it. And 530 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 9: the thing that I've seen is that it's a lot 531 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 9: like the seventies disaster movies. Uh, you know, whether it's 532 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 9: the original Airport or the Towering Inferno or what the 533 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 9: director Rennie Harlan has said is a really important movie 534 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 9: for him, the poside adventure, which I love. So hopefully 535 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 9: the beside the adventure is is where they're going with 536 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 9: this rather than a movie maybe like like Fearless or 537 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 9: something or the where it's too too harrowing, but there's 538 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 9: the whole main thing is sharks. So the sharks in 539 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 9: the water is the is the is the thing, and 540 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 9: they're trying to make it a little bit like Jaws 541 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 9: meets an aircraft movie that for kids. There's something called 542 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 9: The Sheep Detectives, which is a fun title. Let's holp 543 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 9: the movie moves up to it. 544 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 2: Who's putting the detective out? Who's a good question. 545 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 9: I'm not sure who the studio of the Sheep that 546 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 9: I can look it up in a second, but it's 547 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 9: like it's a bunch of sheep who turned detective on 548 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 9: a farm and apparently there's a farmer who reads detective 549 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 9: stories to the sheep and he's played by Hugh Jackman. 550 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 9: Isn't that great? Emma Thompson also co stars so huge 551 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 9: Hugh Jackmans and it kind of me a little bit like, babe, 552 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 9: you know, it's got the so the sheep will talk. 553 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 9: Obviously in the trailer I saw through animatronics and everything. 554 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: I asked you, what studio Because there's a lot of parents, 555 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: I know with young kids that if it's a Disney movie, 556 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 3: they're going if it's a Pixar movie, they're going And 557 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 3: that's the only reason I asked you what studio it was. 558 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's definitely not Disney and Pixar, I will 559 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 9: say that, but I'm not sure which one it is. 560 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 9: But so it looks a little like Babe, remember Babe 561 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 9: the Great nineties? Oh yeah, the Pig on the Farm. Yeah, 562 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 9: it was not many for Best Picture actually of nineteen 563 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 9: ninety five, Babe, was it lost a Brave Heart? 564 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 8: Uh? 565 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 9: Can you imagine how mad mel Gibson would have been? 566 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 9: It's a pig that was. 567 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 4: I love how you glossed over though the Hugh Jackman 568 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 4: part of this. 569 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, no, I forget the sheep. 570 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: You're in, then you're in. You're gonna go. I'm gonna 571 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 2: find a kid to go with me, and now I'm going. 572 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 3: I want to go back to something you said at 573 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 3: the very beginning. There haven't been that very big big 574 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 3: movie is but you said eighty million that was a 575 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 3: big movie, and I guess for the time it was. 576 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 3: But I remember a time when like you, you had 577 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: to make a hundred million like that, that that was 578 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 3: the big movie of the weekend. 579 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 9: Times have changed, Yeah, times have changed and you know 580 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 9: Project tail Mary was you know, it was Amazon MGM, 581 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 9: and it's a it's their biggest hit ever, which is great. 582 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 9: And they had Mercy a couple of weeks earlier, which 583 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 9: didn't do as well, and so they're you know, they 584 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 9: they're trying to put out good stuff. But right exactly, 585 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 9: like there was a time and it also it was 586 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 9: a time remember Larry, when when an eighty million dollar 587 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 9: movie or something major like that would come out every 588 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 9: every week or sure, yes, every week would be this 589 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,959 Speaker 9: big movie. Now it's you know, I think it's a 590 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 9: combination of factors, you know, coming off the pandemic and 591 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 9: a couple of strikes, and I think this and obviously streaming, 592 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 9: Hollywood is sort of scaling back both their expectations and 593 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 9: their and their their output. So it's interesting that, right, 594 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 9: eighty million would have is still a big hit after 595 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 9: you know, we would think that hundred million would have 596 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 9: been the three the three digits of one hundred exactly. 597 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 4: And yeah, well the. 598 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 9: More one more. It's called the Devil. Where's product too? 599 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 9: We all know that Meryl Streep and Hathaway are reuniting. 600 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 9: Just the Fashionista magazine editor No, I no, No, magazines 601 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 9: have changed a lot in twenty years, so, but twenty 602 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 9: years ago, you know, Meryl Streep was the Fashionista magazine 603 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 9: editor and Ann Hathaway was her was her employee. And 604 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 9: now this is a sequel to that. The original came 605 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 9: out in two thousand and six. What I liked about 606 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 9: the original was that it was very much a time 607 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 9: capsule to New York in the in the early offs, 608 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 9: you know, two thousand and five to six. So hopefully 609 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 9: this one will kind of capture that same kind of magic. 610 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 9: But Meryl Streep's always always great, so I think that'll 611 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 9: have its audience as well. People who grew up on 612 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 9: that movie. 613 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: One of the greatest lines ever in a movie. I'm 614 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 3: just a stomach flew away from goal weight. Just a tremendous, 615 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 3: tremendous line.
