Also, a second state is set 32 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: to ban fluoride in its public drinking water. 33 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 4: Plus, GM recalls six hundred thousand vehicles, including some of 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 4: the most popular trucks and SUVs on the road right now, 35 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 4: And Katie Perry gets an apology, but no, it was 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 4: not from Wendy's. We will tell you who publicly apologized. 37 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: To the pop stars. 38 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: Still waiting on you those Wendy's. But on the first leg, 39 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: let's start our run here. It is Folks Day one 40 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: hundred and one of the Trump presidency. Day one hundred 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: yesterday was an eventful one from start to finish, and 42 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: we're going to start with how he finished the day 43 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: at a rally in Michigan. 44 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Last night, President Trump looking an awful lot like candidate 45 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Trump at what was billed as a celebration of his 46 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: first one hundred days in office. His main message, you 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: haven't seen anything yet. 48 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: That's actually a direct quote from him. 49 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: Verbatim, exactly what he said. So last night's rally resembled 50 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: many of the campaign rallies we came to know during 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: his president's run. So you got the adoring supporters out 52 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: there in the crowd, a lot of red hats, a 53 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: few insults thrown around, plenty of bluster about his accomplishments, 54 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: and also in typical Trump fashion, roads he talked for 55 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: a long time. 56 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: How long do you ask? 57 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: Well, he went on for about an hour and a 58 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: half with a sign behind him that read one hundred 59 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: days of Greatness. Subtle, Yeah, it's very subtle. Trump gave 60 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: this assessment of his second term. It is the most 61 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: successful first one hundred days of any administration in the 62 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: history of our country. 63 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: Again subtle. He also added that tariffs are working. He 64 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: touted his immigration policies. He reminded us that he's smarter 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: than the Fed chairman. He said his current low approval 66 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: numbers are not legit, and in another all important moment 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: of the night. He actually pulled the crowd to ask 68 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: them which nickname they preferred. He used to refer to 69 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: former President Biden. Your choices are Sleepy Joe or Crooked Joe. 70 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: He asked the crowd which one should I go with? 71 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: And we went back and listened, and there was a 72 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: clear winner. The crowd loved Crooked Joe. It clearly won 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: and beat Sleepy Joe. 74 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: Sleepy was a little kinder, right. It seemed like it 75 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: didn't seem mean what he said. 76 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: The meaner the better in the crowd applauded and shared, 77 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: just as Trump was hoping they would do. 78 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: So. 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: Yes, let's start now with how the president started his day. 80 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Earlier in the day, he marked his first one hundred 81 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: days in office by doing an extended interview with ABC News. 82 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: That interview is making headline because of who did the interview. 83 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: It was not David Muir, the network's biggest star who 84 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: also anchors World News Tonight. It was just named to 85 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: Times one hundred Most Influential lists, like. 86 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: A no brainer. He would do it right what you 87 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: just said, But it also wasn't George Stefanopolos and Walking 88 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: Encyclopedia of US politics. He hosts Good Morning America and 89 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: the network's Sunday morning show. Another good option. Yes, those two. 90 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: But now we're not gonna go with mirror stuff Anopolis. 91 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: We're going with Terry Moran. Do you know that name, folks, 92 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: Terry Moran. Now he is not one of the more 93 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: high profile anchors over that ABC News, but he has 94 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: a long time journalist who's traveled all of the world, 95 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: done big interviews, covered the Supreme Court. We've worked with 96 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: this guy and he knows his stuff. So this is 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: not an indictment on him and his ability. We know 98 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: he can do the job just as well or better 99 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: than they could. It's just that when you have these 100 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: high profile interviews, you're used to seeing the biggest stars 101 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: of a network do it. 102 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're at a network, you don't even I 103 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: would never even think to, you know, raise my hand, Hey, 104 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: I'll interview President Trump because I know I'm not. I'm 105 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: so far back in line. It's always going to go 106 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: to the main, big anchors. 107 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: And then about I was about three people behind you 108 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: in line, so I knew I was liking here. 109 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: So the question why go with Terry Moran over the 110 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: two of the biggest stars. 111 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 3: At ABC News. Well, there's a clear answer. Trump hates 112 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: both of them. 113 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. Trump took issue with Mure after he moderated that 114 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: presidential debate with Lindsay Davis last year. Trump and a 115 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: lot of other folks accused Mure of being one sided, 116 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: of not giving Kamala Harris the same tough treatment. Remember, 117 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: there weren't supposed to be fact checking involved with the questions, 118 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: and yet they fact checked Trump and they pointed out 119 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: they did not do the same. 120 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 3: For Kamala Harris. 121 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: Afterwards, Trump took issue with Muir for a lot of things, 122 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: also his hair, he mocked his hair. 123 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: And then, of course there's the issue of George. 124 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: Okay, and that issue has to do with a bunch 125 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: of money. Trump sued ABC because of George. George Chefanopolis 126 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: wrongly and repeatedly said that Trump had been held liable 127 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: for rape. Again, remind me he said it ten times. 128 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: I believe it was ten times, and the actual charge 129 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: was sexual assault. And there's a big difference, a big 130 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: legal difference between rape and sexual assault. 131 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: So Trump sued ABC. They eventually settled with Trump for 132 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: sixteen million dollars. So you knew there was no chance 133 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: George was going to be the one in there in 134 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: the Oval office sitting down doing that interview. I think 135 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: he would have done a good job, and I think 136 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 2: a lot of people would have watched. But I don't 137 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: know if Trump would ever go for that, because Trump 138 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: got to pick who was going to interview him, and 139 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: this is how things go in these big time interviews 140 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: A lot of times. 141 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, but man, that would have been a sight to see. 142 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: I would have been tuning in. So the responsibility, yes, 143 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: fell to Terry Moran. And if you're not familiar with him, 144 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: apparently the president isn't either. At one point, Trump said 145 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: this in the interview, I picked you because I never. 146 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: Heard of you. 147 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: But that's okay, Yeah, I mean it is funny and 148 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: I guess honest at that point. 149 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: But it was contentious at times. Terry Moran did his job, 150 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: asked the right questions and responded the right way and 151 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: didn't get work. He looked like a seasoned journalist in 152 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: doing what he's doing. But something to keep an eye 153 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: on tonight, folks, we're going to hear from Kamala Harris, 154 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 2: who we have not heard from in this first hundred days, 155 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: about anything related to Trump. She's speaking at an event 156 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: in California. She's going to be the keynote at a 157 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: women's gala out there, has nothing necessarily to do with Trump, 158 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: but it's honoring Democratic women. This is going to be 159 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: the first time we hear from her, and we are 160 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: expecting ropes. Are they saying we're going to hear her 161 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: speak for the first time about what's been happening. 162 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Yes, because they've said, look, if you think about it, 163 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: since she lost the election in November, she's truly refrained 164 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: from responding and reacting to any of Trump's policies and 165 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: all of the headlines that have happened over these first 166 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 1: one hundred days. So yeah, she is expected to call 167 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: out Trump over his policies and how she believes they 168 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: are and he is failing Americans. Right. 169 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: We'll continue here on this Wednesday morning Ron with Amazon 170 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: CEO Jeff Bezos. He had a call with President Trump 171 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: yesterday and apparently the two kissed and made up after 172 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: a report circulated that Amazon was planning to display how 173 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: much idea what cost with Trump's tariffs. You've seen this 174 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: in some places oversee some of the websites that will 175 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: now China based companies. You buy something and your receipt 176 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: shows this is what your price would have been. But 177 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: it's got to be this and it shows how much 178 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: the tariffs cost. Amazon was reportedly going to do this. 179 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 2: Uh huh. So when we got out about this, the 180 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: White House responded. The briefing yesterday in the morning was contentious, 181 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: and the Press Secretary of Carolyn Levitt called the potential 182 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: move by Amazon a hostile and political act. 183 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: Levitt went on to ask why Amazon would change the 184 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: way it shows prices because of Trump's tariffs when the 185 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: company did not do the same with inflation prices during 186 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Well, that was all very effective because 187 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: within hours of the press briefing, Amazon announced the change 188 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: quote was never approved and is not going to happen 189 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: end quote. 190 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: You know, the White House said, Trump called Bezos. Didn't 191 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 2: tell us exactly what the two said, but Trump did 192 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: later come out and told reporters that quote, Jeff was 193 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: very nice, he was terrific. He solved the problem very quickly, 194 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: and he did the right thing. So that went away immediately. 195 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: Yes, but it's interesting to see how their relationship has evolved, 196 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: because if you remember the first term, Trump like attacked Bezos, 197 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: constantly calling him bozo. He accused Amazon of harming small retailers. 198 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: So now he you know, we've got Bezos at the inauguration. 199 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: He's saying, sure, no problem, we won't do what we 200 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: just said we would do. So it's it's been an 201 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: interesting evolving friendship. Next up on the run, let's keep 202 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: talking about Amazon because it's also a big part of 203 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: another headline this morning. UPS has announced it plans to 204 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: cut more than twenty thousand jobs and close more than 205 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: seventy buildings by the end of June. So just in 206 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: a couple months after deciding to cut back on Amazon deliveries. 207 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: Cause Amazon is their biggest customer, and the UPS now 208 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: says the cuts is going to are going to allow 209 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: them to increase their profitability. UPS says it will say 210 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: three point five billion dollars this year with the decision, 211 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: which is counterintuitive that you're cutting your business with your 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: largest customer in half, but it's going to save you 213 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: a lot of money. Now, despite all of this, they say, yes, 214 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: Amazon is going to continue to have a strong working 215 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: relationship with UPS. So no love. 216 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: We were trying to get our head around this because 217 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: it seems like, yeah, you would want to have more 218 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: business with your largest company, but they say it wasn't 219 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: a profitable business. So last year, just to get your 220 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: head around how much UPS delivers an average of twenty 221 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: two point four million packages a day. That means about 222 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: five point seven billion packages for the year. But a 223 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: lot of folks, unfortunately, aren't going to be getting those 224 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: pink slips in the coming days. 225 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: Next leg of our run takes us to Florida, where 226 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: it looks like that state is going to be the 227 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 2: second one in the country to remove fluoride from its 228 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: public drinking water. 229 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: Lawmakers there passed a bill to stop using fluoride, so 230 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: it now goes to the governor, Ron DeSantis, who has 231 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: already said that he is absolutely going to sign this 232 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: bill into law. The move comes after dentists and other 233 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: public health a visuals maintain that fluoride is a safe 234 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: and effective way to keep teeth strong and reduce cavities. 235 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: You might remember it was Utah last month that became 236 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: the first state to ban fluoride, following a push by 237 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: Health and Human Service AS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior. 238 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: Kennedy has said that fluoride is a dangerous neurro toxin 239 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: that has been linked authoright as bone breaks, THYRAU disease, 240 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: and cognitive decline. 241 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: Now, there have been some studies that have shown possible 242 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: links at much higher levels than we have currently in 243 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: our drinking water, and there is no definitive evidence that 244 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: backs up the claims that Kennedy has been making. In fact, 245 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: adding fluoride to our water system has been considered one 246 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: of the greatest public health achievements of this past century. 247 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: A lot of folks who are upset about this point 248 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: to the fact that there are many communities who count 249 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: on and rely on fluoride in their water to help 250 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: keep their young children's teeth strong. Some people don't have 251 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: the money to buy all of these expensive toothpastes and mouthwash, 252 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: and so they say this is actually going to cause 253 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: damage and really cause harm to many segments of our population. 254 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: All right, folks, will stay with us on this Take 255 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 2: two edition of the Wednesday Morning Ron When we come back, 256 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: some of the most popular trucks and SUVs on the 257 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: road are being recalled, and it's a lot of them. Also, 258 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: Katie Perry gets an apology from a fellow pop star. 259 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 2: We'll read it to you and let you be the 260 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: judge if it was a sincere one or not. We 261 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: continue on this Wednesday morning, run now and next up. 262 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 2: GM is recalling some of its most popular trucks and 263 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: SUVs because of a problem that can cause the engine 264 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: to fail. We are talking about six hundred thousand vehicles 265 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: being recalled. Names like Escalate, Tahoe, and Yukon. 266 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: Among those names, those are big ones, and GM says 267 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: there is a big defect in a couple of engine 268 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: components that can lead to damage in the engine or 269 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: cause the engine to suddenly. 270 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 4: Fail, which is kind of a big deal if you're 271 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 4: driving down the road and your engine stops working. 272 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, these are some late model vehicles. Twenty twenty one 273 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty four are the vehicle years. But yes, 274 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: all the versions of the Escalades, Suburbans, Tahoe, Sierras, and 275 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: Yukons these are all made by GM with the same 276 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: Vight engine that is the problem. They are going to 277 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: fix it for you free of charge. You can certainly 278 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: call and go online and find out if your vehicle 279 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: is a part of this recall. However, if you are 280 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: an owner, you're not going to expect to hear from 281 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 2: the company until June. They say. The letters alerting people 282 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: to this aren't being mailed until the first week or 283 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: so of June, and that was peculiar. If this is dangerous, 284 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: why isn't this an urgent thing to get everybody into. 285 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: Maybe don't think it's that big of a deal. Who knows. 286 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Good luck driving in May, is all I can say, 287 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: or at least I mean, if you've heard this, please 288 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: contact your dealer and try to get that done as 289 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: soon as possible. We're gonna move on out to the 290 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: final leg of our run today and probably one of 291 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: our favorite this is our favorite story the day Katie 292 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: Perry is getting an apology from a fellow pop star 293 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: who now says it was mean of her to pile on. 294 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you might remember the backlash that came, including from 295 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: several high profile celebrity women, following Perry's star studed ride 296 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 2: to space aboard Jeff Jeff Bezos is in this a lot? 297 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: Yeah he is. 298 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: And it used to be just Elon and Trump. Now 299 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: we got Bezos and Trump dominating the news. But yes, 300 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: she went up in that blue or Orgon Bezos ship. 301 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: Not long ago celebrity studied trip, but a lot of 302 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: people came out and criticized that trip. Among them was 303 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: British pop singer Lily Allen. She said the trip was 304 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 2: a showy, unnecessary and tone deaf exercise. 305 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: Allan apologized yesterday in the latest episode of her podcast, 306 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: and we really appreciated that she did this. Too many 307 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: people are afraid or just their egos getting the way 308 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: and they won't apologize. Lily Allen, this is an amazing 309 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: apology and we'll quote it here. 310 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: This is what she said. 311 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: I would actually like to apologize for mean about Katy 312 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: Perry last week. There was actually no need for me 313 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: to bring her name into it, and it was my 314 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: own internalized misogyny. That is such an interesting way to 315 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: put it, you know, because we pointed this out. We 316 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: didn't hear any men pointing the finger at the women. 317 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: Specifically Katy Perry. 318 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: It was all other women pointing the finger at Katy Perry, 319 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: and so yeah, that's an interesting way to look at it. 320 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: She went on to say that she's actually been thinking 321 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: about it a lot and says, quote, it was just 322 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: completely unnecessarily the pile on with her. I mean, I 323 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: disagree with what it was that they did, but she 324 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: wasn't the only person that did it. She was possibly 325 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: the most famous and the one that divides people the most, 326 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: and so there was something in me that decided to 327 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: choose her as the person that should be singled. 328 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: Out that that is so big of her to say 329 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: all of this, And finally she added, I'm just sorry. 330 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: I would have been hurt if it had been me 331 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: and someone in my industry used me and my name 332 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: and I saw that, and I'm sorry. You know, it's 333 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: one of those things where you I'll tell our children 334 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: and we tell ourselves to walk in someone else's shoes, 335 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: imagine what. 336 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: But most people don't. 337 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: And I think it's really cool that she reflected on 338 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: it and what she said and she is now apologizing. 339 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: I just think that's huge of her, and I wish 340 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: more of us could be like that. It reminds me 341 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: of that think before you speak acronym, it's true to 342 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: be you want it to. 343 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: Be true on a true spot, honestly necessarian kind. 344 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, And if it's not one of those things, then 345 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: you probably don't need to say it. 346 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: Please let this be a lesson to us all. Whatever 347 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: you thought about Katie Perry and whatever you think about 348 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: Lily Allen. Both of them deserve some grace for what 349 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: they've done. Lily Allen, she misspoke and I will apply. 350 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: I don't not familiar with her her music. She's a 351 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: Grammy winner, but I'm I'm a fan of hers because 352 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: of the apology now acknowledging that she did something that 353 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: maybe was wrong. So we'll go about to now our Wednesday, 354 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: and we'll leave you with our quote of the day, 355 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: something we like for you to consider, and it's a 356 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: special one to us. 357 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm bigger than the bad thoughts. I'm brighter than 358 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: the light they're trying to I won't let the bad 359 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: thoughts take the wheel. This is from one of our 360 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: friends and an amazing musician, Rachel Platten, and we had 361 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: the honor of watching her perform and an intimate dinner 362 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: last night that Kenneth Cole.

I won't let the bad thoughts take the wheel. 379 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: If you were listening to us, got that phone in 380 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 2: your hand, probably go ahead, go to Spotify now and 381 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: look on Rachel Platt in that song bad Thoughts.
