The ill-fated submersible mission is putting the spotlight on extreme tourism. The men paid $250,000 each to see the Titanic. Whether it’s rocketing into space or climbing Mt. Everest, Megan Alexander says there are many incredibly expensive and potentially dangerous ways thrill seekers can spend their time. And a woman seated next to a 50 pound pit bull was not a bit happy about it....prompting the question - should a potentially dangerous animal be allowed in the cabin - even if it’s an emotional support animal? Plus, Bebe Rexha is back on stage just days after a fan hit her in the face with his cell phone. The Grammy nominated singer had one request - don’t throw your phone!

As the hours tick by, hope is dimming that the five men making a deep-sea tour of the wreckage of the Titanic will be found alive. They've got a limited air supply, and it runs out Thursday morning. The Coast Guard is doing everything in their power to find the submersible, but as one expert explained it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Very few can actually know what it’s like to be trapped two and half miles below – but one man does. He's a former TV correspondent who was on the first submersible to visit the titanic wreckage when a mishap nearly killed everyone on board. He spoke with Les Trent. And after years of investigation, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to multiple charges today. President and Mrs. Biden responded… saying they love their son – but this may not be the end of the younger Mr. Biden's legal woes. Plus, Donald Trump continues to defend his decision not to turn over sensitive documents after leaving the White House. He sat down with Fox News… and things started off testy when it came to the results of the 2020 election.

111 years ago the Titanic hit an iceberg leading to a disaster that took more than 1,500 lives. Now there's a new search going on at the very same spot in the Atlantic. The Coast Guard has launched a rescue mission for a submarine that went missing during an expedition to the Titanic wreck. And when a houseboat capsized off the coast of Florida…it could have ended in disaster, if not for some very brave good Samaritans who jumped into the rough waters to rescue those trapped inside. Plus, sometimes overzealous fans throw things at their favorite singers. Usually stuffed animals or an article of clothing - nothing that can do much damage...but singer Bebe Rexha just got hit in the face...by a flying cell phone! And for the third year in a row, pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. However, it comes with a warning…you may have heard of players spraining their ankles or wrists, but it can be a lot worse.

It's Donald Trump’s 77th birthday, and it comes just the day after he became the first president in history to face federal charges. Now we're learning there was a major drama right after he plead not guilty to mishandling classified documents. During a stop at a Miami sandwich stop a reporter yelled out a question Trump's supporters didn't like, so she ended up being dragged out of the restaurant. Steven Fabian has details. And the laws are supposed to apply to everyone, and when a sheriff's deputy spotted a local cop doing 80 miles an hour in a 45 mile an hour zone, he did what he'd do to any such driver - he pulled him over. That's when the fireworks started. Plus, here's a word you may have never heard before: touron. It's a tourist who acts like a moron. There are plenty of examples of them out there, but this guy has been such a fool, that Les Trent says there's now a manhunt to find him. And back in the 80's, more than half of all retail sales were in malls. Today malls around the country are closing, and the owners of the biggest mall in San Francisco now say they’re done. In part because of changing consumer habits, but also because rising crime has left shop keepers and shoppers no longer feeling safe.

Donald Trump was escorted by motorcade to a Miami courthouse today where he became the first president in history to face federal charges - all in connection to allegations he mishandled highly sensitive documents. Police said they were ready for anything, and that included massive traffic jams, a bomb scare, and a gathering of trump supporters and detractors that turned out to be much smaller than expected. In addition, at one point Fox News reported former First Lady Melania Trump was at her husband's side... but it was a case of mistaken identity. As Ann Mercogliano reports, it's believed Mrs. Trump was more than a thousand miles away in New York where yesterday she was spotted having her hair done and going to the dentist. Plus, he nearly died trying to save his son and his niece in a rip tide. For weeks it was touch and go with former NFL player Peyton Hillis being put on a ventilator. Now, in his first TV interview since - he says there's no doubt in his mind, it's a miracle he's alive. And here hasn't been an incident in its more than 40-year history, and authorities are still trying to figure out why a tourist boat with 29 people on board capsized in an underground cave near the Erie Canal. It’s an accident that left one man dead. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
